Surprise at three quarters

Returning to Nagato Palace again, A-Jiao looked at the familiar surroundings, but she no longer felt the suffocation of being in a cage and not being able to breathe freely.

Although she is temporarily limited to the existence of the imperial decree and cannot move freely, she can see the vastness of the world.

On the second day, she sent someone to invite Princess Guantao again.

When Liu Xing came, the expression on his face was quite surprised, "Could something happen?"

Gillian has been in a low mood since she was deposed. She can't see outsiders freely, and actually doesn't want to.Even my mother only sees once in a long time.This kind of situation of inviting her over for two consecutive days has never happened before.

However, after she finished speaking, she saw that the expression on Gillian's face seemed to have lost the depression she used to have, so she couldn't help but feel happy, and said, "I see that your complexion seems to have improved a lot. It seems that after such a long time, you have finally recovered. Don't embarrass yourself any more."

Speaking of this, she actually didn't hate it in her heart.Although Liu Che's attitude towards her didn't seem to have changed in any way, when it came to Gillian's matter, he refused to back down at all, which also made Liu Xun very dissatisfied.

But now that he has been on the throne for more than ten years, he has already firmly grasped the power in his hands. Not to mention Liu Xun's political wisdom is not high, even if the Empress Dowager Dou is reborn, there is nothing I can do.

So she can only choose to stop.At this time, it was better for Gillian to think about it than to trap herself in unwilling emotions.

Ah Jiao sat kneeling opposite her, straightened up suddenly, and asked, "Why did A Niang insist on making me a queen that day?"

In fact, at that time, Empress Dowager Dou did not agree with this proposal.In her opinion, besides being a queen, Gillian is good at anything.Her status is noble, and no one can wrong her.But Liu Xing is a mother after all, and Gillian's marriage is ultimately decided by her.

She discussed it with Wang Ji, and then talked about moving Emperor Jing, and Empress Dowager Dou could not object.

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help frowning and said, "A-Jiao is still blaming A-Niang?"

"I'm not blaming A Niang, it's just that I don't understand. The emperor's grandmother actually doesn't approve of this marriage, does she?" Gillian said.

Mentioning this, the unhappiness on Liu Xing's face disappeared in a flash, "Even if she is a golden branch and jade leaf, as a woman, it is difficult for her to be independent. But since she wants to marry, she must marry the most outstanding man in the world. Who else but the emperor ?”

This obsession actually comes from her own marriage.

Chen Wu, Marquis of Tangyi, is really not a person who meets Liu whoring's aesthetic standards.He can almost be said to have no personality, submissive, and has never been an official in the court, and has no achievements.The hot-tempered Liu Xun never thought highly of him, and felt deeply uncomfortable for marrying such a husband.

So when it comes to her daughter's marriage, she naturally has a set of selection criteria, and hopes that her son-in-law is not like a husband.

Besides that, there was another thing that also influenced her choice.

In the second year of Emperor Wen, the palace issued a decree to force the princes to join the country.So after Liu Xun and Chen Wu got married, they could only go to the Tangyi in Linhuai.

This place belongs to the jurisdiction of Nanjing City on the modern map, and it can be said to be thousands of miles away from the capital Chang'an.Although the place is considered rich, it is obviously not enough for the princess who grew up in the palace.

As for all kinds of entertainment in Beijing, there is nowhere to be seen here.

Married to an unpromising husband and having to live in such an aggrieved small place, Liu Xing's life from youth to middle age is naturally very unsatisfactory.

She didn't return to the capital until her elder brother Jingdi succeeded to the throne, and became the noble eldest princess of the empire.

So when it comes to her daughter's choice of marriage, she naturally hopes that she can stay in Beijing and not marry far away.In this way, the family of Liehou Xungui cannot be selected.And other families couldn't get into Liu's eyes.

It seems that the palace is the best, and it can be said to be the only choice.

At that time, she thought, with her watching and the kindness of pushing him to the top, Liu Che would definitely not disappoint Gillian. Even if the relationship between husband and wife is not good, at least the honor will not be diminished.

It's a pity that things in the world are always unexpected at the beginning.

arrived.

With today's ending, Liu Xun still feels ashamed of her daughter, but her pride prevents her from saying such things out of her mouth.

After hearing her words, Gillian couldn't help being stunned.She had never thought about these questions before, but there was no doubt that her mother's consideration was very thorough.

Being deposed is unpredictable, but she grew up in the palace, and her proud personality is exactly the same as her mother's. She never wanted to stay away from Chang'an and live in a small place, and she couldn't get used to such a life.

It's only now that I've been shattered beyond recognition, so I feel that such a life may not be a bad one.A small place far away from Chang'an means stability and there will not be so many changes.

Gillian quickly put her thoughts back, and said to Liu Xing, "I made a mistake, Auntie. The current situation is not what Auntie wants."

"It's hard for you." Liu Xun reached out and stroked the top of her daughter's hair.

Gillian shook her head slightly, "Aniang, I'm not afraid of suffering, but I'm not willing to end like this."

"What do you want to do?" Liu Xun was slightly surprised.

Gillian said, "At least I can't stay here and wait to die."

"But His Majesty will definitely not change his mind." Liu Xun smiled wryly.There is no such thing as divorce in the Tian family. Once you enter the palace, you will only be a royal woman for life.And with such an embarrassing status as Gillian, it is impossible to stay in Weiyang Palace.

As for returning to favor, Liu Xing never thought about it.In the first year of Yuanshuo, Liu Che was already 29 years old, and Wei Zifu gave birth to his first son, Liu Shi. Not to mention that Liu Che loved her very much, even the courtiers of the previous dynasty were also very happy, so she was named queen .

What's more, Gillian's identity is too sensitive, even if Wei Zifu falls out of favor, it will not be her turn to take over again.

"It's up to people to plan things." A-Jiao held her mother's hand calmly and looked her in the eyes. "As long as A-Niang is willing to help me, there will be a solution."

"What do you want to do?" Liu asked.

"The first step is to add more people to the palace." Gillian said indifferently, "Wei Zifu has been in the palace for almost 15 years, right? His looks fade away, no matter how affectionate he is, it should fade away." Besides, what Ah Shu loves is her softness in the past, and now that she is a queen, how much of this kind of softness is left?"

Liu Xun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "This statement is reasonable. The last time I saw the queen, I also felt that she was becoming more and more majestic, but she no longer has much tenderness."

Moreover, with children, a woman's heart inevitably turns to them.What's more, Liu Ju is the eldest son, Wei Zifu will naturally plan for him, how much attention can he put on the emperor?

It is also easy to do this matter, just find a few people and mention it to Liu Che.

There is even no need to add people to the palace. Anyway, the palace has always had the practice of selecting women from the people and sending them to the princes' mansions.At that time, if Liu Che chooses a beautiful girl with outstanding looks, she will naturally stay.

Speaking of this, Liu Xing gave Gillian a look of resentment, "If you had such a heart, why did you end up here!"

"Auntie is wrong." Gillian smiled lightly, "My fault was never because of arrogance or childlessness, but because I am your daughter." Besides, since Wei Zifu entered the palace, she has gradually With a cold heart, there is no love between husband and wife with Liu Che, and he has never troubled anyone, and only wants to live his own little life, so what happened?

It's fine if she doesn't talk about it, but when she talks about Liu whoring, she hates iron and steel, "I don't even bother to talk about you for the things you did!"

She didn't pay attention to the women around Liu Che, but she also ignored him. Instead, she put on a Chufu by her side, dressed in men's clothes, and pretended to be a fake Phoenix.How could Liu Che bear this kind of thing?

But Liu Xing couldn't say this in the end.

She thought of Dong Yan, whom she raised by her side, and felt that she hadn't said Gillian's position, maybe her problem came from herself.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and changed the topic tacitly.Liu Xing asked, "You said the first step, what will happen next?"

"The second step is to make friends with the dignitaries of the aristocratic families in Beijing." A-Jiao said, "But this, A Niang has been doing, and there is no need to do anything special, so as not to attract attention. In addition, you can also contact the princes of various places and give them some support."

"What do you want to do?" Liu Xun immediately asked vigilantly.

Gillian said, "Aniang, what are you afraid of? Even if the world changes, it won't affect you and me."

Even if there is another person on the throne, they are still the descendants of Emperor Wen Jing.And Liu Xun, as the daughter of Emperor Wen, is the most honorable eldest princess in the Han Dynasty, and no one else can pass by.No matter who is in the position, she will be treated with courtesy.

Liu Xun gasped and stared at Gillian, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

She was able to help Liu Che to the throne because of such luck, and because he was the prince himself.Now his throne is extremely stable, he has made many achievements since he took the throne, and even the courtiers seldom refute him, how can it be so easy to overturn the sky?

"Let's try our best, even if it doesn't work, at least cause him some trouble, and find something for me to do." Gillian said.

Liu Xun frowned, very uncertain.In fact, she was not very afraid, she had been respected and favored all her life, so her attitude towards the superior was naturally impossible to be as fearful as other people, besides, Liu Che was still her nephew.

But in the end, she still nodded to Gillian, "Forget it, let's give it a try."

Compared with the previous look of being unmotivated, she would rather A-Jiao could toss a little more and feel less guilty in her heart.

……

Under Zhuo Wenjun's guidance, Yuan Xiao carefully crossed the garden of Nagato Palace and approached the back door.

When you get here, you can be more aboveboard.Most of the people staying here are servants, and most of them have no chance to meet A-Jiao in front, and naturally they have never seen the maid beside her.Yuan Xiao took the token given by Gillian, pretended to be a maid who went out on business, and left Nagato Palace smoothly.

This is the result of their discussion.

Gillian's plan must not be completed in a short time.And Yuan Xiao is staying in Nagato Palace now, except to accompany her to relieve boredom, there is not much use for it.Why not take this opportunity to find Dongfang Shuo and see if he can solve Wenjun's problem.
