This winter, Liu Wei is busy.

Although the war in various places has temporarily stopped because of the cold weather, for Liu Wei, who is the groom every night, the war in the cave room cannot be stopped.

On the twelfth day of the lunar month, Liu Wei Zifu entered the palace as a beauty, and he turned the phoenix upside down overnight. On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, on this auspicious day selected by the Empress Dowager He, the Han Emperor Liu Wei married Shangguan Wan'er again, which naturally lingered overnight, and Wushan several times.

Before Liu Wei could catch his breath, the wife of Deng Taishan, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, took Da Qiao into the palace to ask to see him. Liu Wei met with the aunt and nephew in the Lin De Palace.

As soon as Aunt Qiao finished the ceremony, she chattered and complained: "Your Majesty, my family will be fifteen years old after the New Year, and it has been four years since you saved the lives of our mother and daughter in Chaisang. Seeing that one by one women enter the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth, I don't know when His Majesty plans to admit my family Wan'er into the palace, don't you want to let Wan'er be an old girl in the boudoir? ”

"Auntie...... Don't say it, Your Majesty must be busy every day. Wan'er believes that Her Majesty has her own arrangements for this marriage, no matter when Her Majesty enters the palace, or even lets Wan'er wait outside the palace for a lifetime, Wan'er has no complaints. Da Qiao, who was out of Tingting Yuli, lowered her head, her cheeks were crimson, and quietly pulled her placket behind Deng Qiao's back.

After listening to Da Qiao's words, Liu Bian's face showed a look of guilt. Speaking of which, I really snubbed this beauty, most of the fifteen-year-old women in ordinary people's families have already married, and Da Qiao, who has passed the New Year, has indeed reached the age of marriage.

smiled and looked at Qiao Juan, who had not been seen for more than three months, and saw that she was like a hibiscus out of water, Zhong Lingyuxiu. Bright eyes and bright teeth; The body is graceful, with ice muscles and snow skin; Against the backdrop of a white winter coat, she is like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

"What Mrs. Deng said is extremely true. It's really that I neglected Wan'er, and I haven't seen her for many days. Unexpectedly, Wan'er's appearance is more and more radiant. At first, I just thought that Wan'er was young, and I didn't think that I was almost fifteen years old. In this way, I will immediately integrate Shangshu Kong of the Ministry of Rites into the palace, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and I promise to marry Wan'er into the palace next spring. What does Mrs. Tang think? Liu Wei held Da Qiao's slender and slender hand and swore an oath.

"Thank you, your majesty!" Deng Qiaoshi was overjoyed, and thanked him again and again, "Juan'er, thank you quickly!" ”

Da Qiao's heart was full of joy, and he bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Your Majesty is kind." Wan'er is not in a hurry, please take state affairs first, whenever Wan'er enters the palace, Wan'er has no complaints. ”

While speaking, footsteps sounded, and it turned out to be Concubine De Wu Ruyi coming. first saluted the Son of Heaven, and then glanced up and down at Deng Qiao's family and Aunt Qiao Juan's nephew, and admonished: "Sister Xuan'er, it's not that this palace wants to give you a horse." The rules in the palace are so tight; As a beauty, you should call yourself a concubine in the future, not a long and short girl! ”

Da Qiao looked sincerely frightened, and hurriedly bowed to Concubine Wude to apologize: "Thank you Niangniang for your advice, the concubine remembers!" ”

Seeing Liu Wei's face unhappy. Wu Ru showed a flattering smile to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty thinks what the concubine said is right?" The queen mother attaches the most importance to the rules in the palace, and the slightest carelessness will make his old man angry. ”

Wu Ruyi is right, the rules in the palace cannot be messed up after all; But Liu Wei could also see that this was Wu Ruyi's attempt to give Da Qiao a boost. Establish her own prestige. It's just that she caught the reason, and she took advantage of the current Mrs. He to suppress herself. It's hard to say anything!

Qiao Wan has only turned fifteen after the New Year, and she is unfamiliar with the rules in the palace. It's also understandable. I will let the people of the Internal Affairs Office teach her etiquette, and this matter is not for Concubine Lauder! Liu Wei returned to the dragon chair and sat upright, defending Da Qiao with a tough attitude.

Wu Shi was not angry, and smiled: "The concubine is also kind enough to remind Sister Wan'er, so as not to be caught by someone with a heart to make a fuss in the future." ”

Liu Wei bowed slightly, and said with a straight face: "I don't know what is the important matter of the Lin De Hall where the concubine comes to me?" Didn't I remind you that if you don't have anything to do, if you don't have my call, try not to come to my dormitory as often as possible. If anything, I'll go to where you are! ”

Although Wu Ruyi's posture was humble, he refused to give in in his words: "The three major halls of Taiji, Hanyuan, and Ziwei in the main hall of His Majesty, the concubines naturally dare not set foot lightly. However, the Lin De Hall is in the harem, which is the place where His Majesty rests, and the concubines, as the concubines of His Majesty, are logically qualified to visit His Majesty. The concubine knew that His Majesty had been newly married in the past few days, and she was afraid that Her Majesty would be tired of the dragon's body, so she came to send her some medicine to nourish her body. ”

"Lancôme, bring the medicine!" Wu Ruyi turned around and ordered the female officer, and the medicine was quickly delivered to Liu Wei's imperial case.

Liu Wei bowed slightly: "Very good, thank you Concubine De for worrying about me, I will control myself." I still have government affairs to deal with, so please go back to Jingning Hall for the time being, and if I have time, I will go to Jingning Hall to see you. ”

"In that case, the concubine will retire!"

Wu Ruyi saluted, turned around and retreated, walked a few steps and turned his head to Deng Qiao's and Da Qiao: "By the way, this palace has to remind your aunt and nephew, when you see the queen and concubines in the future, beauties and talented people need to pay homage." I don't care, but I don't dare to say if others will care! ”

Deng Qiao's and Da Qiao hurriedly bowed: "Thank you Niangniang for reminding us, it was our aunt and nephew who were rude!" ”

But Wu Ruyi had already turned around and waved his hand: "That's it, that's it...... Hongu is not the kind of person who cares! ”

After Concubine Wu De left, Liu Wei chatted with Qiao Juan's aunt and nephew again, and intentionally or unintentionally pulled the topic to Xiao Qiao: "I wonder if Sister Ling has still missed Zhou Yu in the past few years?" ”

"Huh...... Although rest assured, my little niece has long forgotten about the damn Zhou Yu and is waiting to marry into the palace! After the New Year, Qiao Yan will be thirteen, next year His Majesty will accept Xuan'er, and next year, she will accept Yan'er! Aunt Qiao smiled with a smile on her face, and said skillfully.

But Da Qiao refused to deceive Liu Wei, with an apologetic expression: "If you go back to your majesty, my sister still can't forget that Zhou Yu, and she will repair a book every six months, and ask someone to go to Jingnan to bring it to Zhou Yu." It's just that I've always been like a mud cow into the sea, and I've never received a reply from Zhou Yu. ”

Aunt Qiao reprimanded Da Qiao with an unhappy face: "Juan'er, how can you say that, it will make Your Majesty angry, and it will not be good for Yan'er." She is young and ignorant now, she was deceived by Zhou Yu at the beginning, and she will gradually forget Zhou Yu when she grows up in the future, and she will marry into the palace like you sooner or later. My aunt is counting on you sisters for the rest of her life! ”

Liu Wei said with a smile: "People have their own ambitions, and I am not an emperor who forces others!" Little Joe, she has her own right to pursue her own happiness, and I won't embarrass her! ”

Although Liu Wei said this, he secretly said in his heart: "How can I tell you, Xiao Qiao is my bait, sooner or later, I will use her to dig a pit and bury Zhou Lang in it!" ”

After Da Qiao's aunt and nephew left, Liu Wei handed over the medicine sent by Concubine Wu De to Zheng He: "Take it to Sun Simiao for inspection to see if this medicine is normal?" ”

A few days later, Sun Shangxiang was escorted to Jinling, and Liu Wei didn't have time or want to see her for the time being. After all, there is a revenge for killing her father, and with Sun Shangxiang's strong temperament, she has to scold a bloody dog, so why bother to be bored, it is better to temporarily detain her for a period of time first, kill her sharpness, and when the edges and corners are polished, she will not be stabbed at that time.

In a few days, the New Year arrived.

Liu Wei set up a banquet in the Ziwei Hall to entertain the civil and military officials, and entertained the guests with a high degree of distilled liquor during the banquet, and the civil and military officials all drank and returned happy. For several days, Jinling City celebrates all over the world, and it is very lively.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Liao Hua, who guarded the city gate, came to Hanyuan Hall to report; "Qi Xià, Cao Cao's envoy Manzhong came to visit with gifts, and he is waiting outside the city gate at the moment."

"Oh...... It must be here to redeem Xu Chu! Liu Wei raised his eyebrows and quickly made a judgment, "Bring a full pet into the palace to see me." ”

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Liao Hua, the full favor of the servants came to the Hanyuan Palace, knelt on the ground to salute, and shouted long live: "The little minister is full of favor to see Your Majesty, I wish my emperor to dominate the rivers and mountains as soon as possible and revitalize the dynasty!" ”

After the greetings, Man Chong offered a generous gift, saying that this was a New Year's gift from Cao Cao, and then went straight to the topic: "The pet came to Jinling not for anything else, but for Xu Zhongkang." Cao Gong sent three generals to intercept and kill Sun Ce's sister, but he really hated Liu Bei, a traitor, for being ungrateful, but Shijun Zhilu did something rebellious and had no other intentions. I also hope that His Majesty will be loyal to General Xu Chu, hand it over to Manzhong, and let the minister take it back to Yecheng to heal. ”

At present, Liu Bei has sent troops from Bashu, and the relationship with Cao Cao should be as harmonious as possible, even if he knows that he is full of sophistries and sophistry, Liu Wei is too lazy to argue with him. After all, it is not to the point of tearing his face, it is better to ask Cao Cao what he plans to redeem Xu Chu with, in exchange for a little practical benefit is the best choice.

"Huh...... Xu Zhongkang has been recuperating here with me, and in order to rescue Xu Zhongkang, my subordinates have also paid a lot of price. It's okay for Cao Mengde to redeem Xu Zhongkang, but he has to show a little bit of his heart, right? Could it be that you want to redeem Xu Chu with just a few things? Liu Wei sat on the dragon chair and bargained straight to the point.

Man Pet smiled slightly: "Cao Gong naturally has a heavy gift to offer, Zhongshan Wuji Zhen's, a single word, has not yet been allowed to match people, after the New Year, the fifteenth year of the year, born in the city and the country, graceful and luxurious." Cao Gong wants to dedicate the Zhen family to His Majesty in exchange for Xu Zhongkang, I don't know what His Majesty wants? ”

"Zhen Mi?" Liu Wei smiled bitterly, he originally thought that Zhen Mi was far away in Jizhou, and he had no chance to get involved, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to send it to him, he really didn't expect it!

Zhen Mi is indeed exciting, but in exchange for Xu Chu like this, it will inevitably make people feel that they are an emperor who is greedy and has no ambitions; But in the case of Liu Bei's soldiers, he can't be too stiff, otherwise he will tear his face with Cao Cao, and the harm will outweigh the benefits. In the current situation, it is still the best policy to take Xu Chu and exchange as many benefits as possible!

"I heard that Tian Feng has been imprisoned in Yecheng Prison and refuses to surrender, you go back to tell Cao Mengde that you want to exchange for Xu Chu. You need to exchange Zhen Mi and Tian Feng together, if Meng De doesn't comply, let Xu Chu slowly 'recuperate' in Jinling; if Cao Mengde agrees, you can take Zhen Mi and Tian Feng directly to Jinling to exchange for Xu Chu.
