When Hua Liuli woke up the next day, it was three poles in the sun.

The maid of Shoukang Palace has become accustomed to Princess Fushou getting up late, and secretly sympathizes with Miss thousand gold, but because of her poor health, she can’t eat and medicine, and she can’t leave her mouth.

The queen mother saw Hua Liuli wake up and let the maid wait on her for breakfast.

"Your mother went to Chenyang Palace to meet the emperor, and I will pick you up later." The Queen Mother said with a smile, "I feel weak at night in the Aijia family. I heard that you went out of the palace last night?"

Hua Liuli swallowed the food in her mouth, rinsed her mouth and said: "The empress dowager, the court lady was a little late by accident last night, did it bother you?"

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. You young people, you should see more when you should go to play." With a reminiscence on the mother's back, "When the Aijia was young, she also sneaked with the Emperor Xian in the middle of the night. When you leave the palace, you are afraid of being discovered by the supervisor after leaving the palace, and you will be sneaky like a thief."

The smile on the Queen Mother's face gradually faded, perhaps because she remembered that the first emperor had passed away long ago, or perhaps because she missed the past time that could not be grasped. After a long time, she chuckled softly: "At that time, she was very happy."

Hua Liuli has heard stories about the first emperor. It is said that the first emperor and the queen mother are childhood sweethearts and have a good relationship. It is a pity that this beautiful love story does not have a perfect ending. Ten years after the first emperor became king, he began to dote on a beautiful concubine, and even after the concubine gave birth to the prince, he said that he wanted to re-establish the prince.

However, the first emperor's oath to Meiyan's beloved concubine was not fulfilled, because he soon became ill, and he had no chance to talk about re-establishing the prince.

Perhaps for the queen mother, a man who has changed his mind and even tried to hurt his child, death is the best outcome.

Whether the first emperor died of illness or other reasons, no one is interested anymore, anyway, he died of illness in the history books. The current majesty, the sage, the benevolence, the current queen mother is kind and virtuous, everything is perfect.

Even the Empress Dowager now mentions Emperor Xian with a calm tone as if the Emperor Xian had never hurt her. All love, hatred, and hatred are just passing by, not worth mentioning.

Hua Liuli didn't understand whether it was love or not, hate or not. But she understands a truth, if you can't get the affection of father and mother, it is better not to.

"Good boy." The queen mother smiled, "The Aijia is getting older. Looking at a little girl like you, I can't help but miss the past."

The queen mother's expression returned to normal: "In another half a month is the Flower Festival. There will be many young girls going to worship the Baihua Fairy on that day. Do you have any clothes and jewelry to your heart?"

"There is no shortage of clothes, but I don’t know why. After you put it on, there is always no queen mother you can choose for your courtier." Hua Liuli frowned, "The courtier is thinking about it. This is the queen mother. The eyes of the court ladies are raised."

"This has become the fault of the Ai's family. Where did it come from?" The queen mother was amused by Hua Liuli and smiled. The girls in the capital are less than you."

"It was the courtier who made a mistake just now. You are the best queen mother." Hua Liuli pretends to make the queen mother happy. "With you, the courtier will be able to dump thousands of men and women."

"That's terrible." The queen mother took Hua Liuli and sat next to herself, teasing: "If the girl beloved is crying and shouting to marry you, what can you do?"

"Then I will hide to you." Hua Liuli said confidently, "The clothes you gave to the courtiers also helped, so you have to bear three-point responsibility for the trouble."

The queen mother was amused by Hua Liuli's words, and threw away the previous melancholy emotions cleanly. The little girl next to her is beautiful and cute. How can she even think of a man who has passed away?

When Wei Mingyue came back from Chenyang Palace, she saw this scene. Shoukang Palace stood with two rows of palace attendants holding jewellery costumes, and the queen mother was like a dude eager to coax the beauty. Let these gorgeous decorations Let the beauty choose.

Oh, her careless daughter is the beauty who was coaxed to hold her.

"This ruby ​​on the forehead..."

"Your skin is white and tender, it looks good with this." Before Hua Liuli could speak, the queen mother asked the maid to put away Hua Liuli.

"The colors of the clothes you wear are mostly plain and light, and the Aijia thinks this red embroidered gilt skirt is also beautiful." The queen mother picked out a thin cloth like cicada wings and put it on the red skirt. Take it, wear it on your body, it’s a goddess, perfect."

"Empress Mother." General Wei was not too interested in hairpin ring jewelry. As long as he saw these hairpin ring jewelry, he felt a headache.

"I'm back so soon?" The queen mother was a little lost, she still wanted to choose a few more sets of clothes and jewelry for Hua Liuli.

She is getting older and has nothing to do with her, so she only has this hobby.

I don't know how this little girl from the Hua family grew up. Although she looked thin, she was born with a clothes rack, and she looked good in everything. Dressing up this kind of girl is the easiest to bring satisfaction.

"Come on, come here, and accompany the Ai's family to pick Liuli together." The queen mother waved towards Wei Mingyue, and said by the way, "Ai's family knows that you and Yingting are both busy on weekdays, but you have such a nice little girl. Girl, you should also dress her up. God didn’t let you give birth to such a beautiful daughter, not to let you ruin her appearance."

"Queen dowager, where will the general and the foreigner be willing to let Liuli suffer..."

"In the eyes of I, widow, you are ruining her if you don't dress her well." The queen mother pointed to a box of jewelry, "Let's see, which one is most suitable for Liuli?"

Wei Mingyue's complexion froze: "Queen dowager, it is easier for you to let the final general go to the border to kill the enemy."

"Liu Li, don't learn from your mother. When you were young, you thought it was troublesome to dress up, so you went out in men's clothing." The queen mother turned around to choose Erluo for Hua Liuli: "The girls in the capital do not love Erlang and Hongyan."

Hua Liuli covered her mouth and laughed. No wonder that until now, there are still little girls who are clamoring to marry her mother.

The queen mother knew that their family of four was reunited, and she must be full of thoughts, so she didn't stay with the mother and daughter for a long time, so she took the selected things to Hua Liuli and let them go.

When Hua Liuli returned home, the plaque outside the door had changed from "Hua Fu" to "Zhongyong Hou Fu", and the guard at the door had also become a soldier in armor.

"Mother, isn't Daddy already playing unarmored?" According to the rules, a person without a military position cannot have a guard with a knife.

"Your Majesty asked your father to serve as the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and your father refused with the old wounds healed." Wei Mingyue stepped into the gate of the Hou Mansion, "Your Majesty asked your father to retain the name of the general and named him the Crown Prince Taibao."

"So that's it." Hua Liuli sighed softly, "That's fine."

"At a young age, our adults are worried about the affairs of the house. Why are you sighing?" General Wei walked to the upright position and sat down and swung back the servants who came to salute the master. "Your Majesty has also named me a Marquis, I Even if you and your father are not in control of the military now, a shuanghou will make many people jealous."

Just as he was talking, Hua Yingting walked in with Hua Changkong, and the family of four finally had a chance to speak well.

"Mother." Hua Changkong gave a big gift to General Wei.

"My father and I are away these days. You have taken good care of your sister and family. You have worked hard." General Wei was in front of her sons and daughters. There was never a female general. She patted her son on the shoulder.

"If you can return safely, my son will rest assured." Hua Changkong smiled, "My sister is very well-behaved, so I don't care about it."

"You don't need to speak for her, what kind of temper she is, I know in my heart." General Wei nodded Hua Liuli's forehead, then turned to Hua Changkong and said: "I see you seem to be thinner. Don't study too hard. Your body is important. ."

"Yes, the body is the most important." Hua Yingting nodded quickly, "In our family, people are the first. Let's talk about other things."

"Father, mother, and son understand in their hearts that they will do what they can." Hua Changkong said, "but now that the world has risen to peace, in the next forty to fifty years, the status of civil servants will surpass that of generals. Our Hua family now needs a civil servant in the court Neutral foothold."

"Then you have to drink more Shouwu Angelica Chicken Soup in the future." When the whole family was very moved, Hua Liuli whispered, "You also have black sesame seeds."

"Why?" Hua Yingting asked curiously, "Good girl, what does this have to do with your third brother's studies."

"Because of too much study, it is easy to be bald." Hua Liuli said, "The third brother looks handsome, if he has no hair, he will not look good."

Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue looked at their son together, imagined his son's bald appearance, and suddenly shook their heads and said, "Then you must drink."

Their Hua family does not have such an ugly son.

Hua Changkong was silent for a moment. At this moment, he deeply suspected that he might have picked it up.

"Is that prince Ava still making trouble today?" The bald Dali Temple touched his forehead, flipped through the genealogy in his hand, watching with gusto.

"Pei Shaoqing's method is good. I fed him half a bowl of water today. He drank it cleanly and didn't say anything. It didn't make any noise." The official in charge of guarding Ava said, "But looking at him, it seems that he hasn't Give up the plan to see Princess Fushou."

"Don't pay attention to him." In order to investigate the case, Zhang Shuo looked through the family genealogy of all the parties involved in the case and found something interesting.

"Speaking of this Fushou princess, I found the Hua family to be quite interesting." Zhang Shuochao beckoned to Pei Jihuai, who was sitting in the corner looking through the information, "Come on, come and take a look."

"My lord?" Pei Jihuai thought that Zhang Shuo had found any useful evidence. As soon as he approached, Zhang Shuo pointed out several names on the genealogy. These people were all ancestors of the Hua family.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

"When it comes to the Hua family, we all think that they are a family of military commanders, but we haven't noticed that they have also had several capable civil servants." Zhang Shuo pointed to one of them, "There is even the head of civil servants, the prime minister. Of the place."

Not only were most of the civil servants of the Hua family extremely human, but in the end they all steadily returned home. Maybe it was because the Hua family's military merits were so loud that no one noticed it much.

After giving instructions to Pei Jihuai, Zhang Shuo smiled and put away the genealogy in his hand, and touched his bald forehead: "But these are all family affairs, and we don't have much to do with us, so you don't need to talk about it."

"My lord is right." Pei Jihuai had a thought in his mind, but felt that he was thinking too much, maybe it was just a coincidence?

"My lord, your Royal Highness is here."

Zhang Shuo didn't understand the prince's intention, so he quickly stood up: "Hurry up."

"Master Zhang doesn't need to be polite." The prince filed in with his attendants, raising his hand to avoid them. "I came today to see the second prince of Jinpo."

"Please." Zhang Shuo did not refuse, and did not hesitate to lead the way.

The dungeon has an unpleasant smell, Zhang Shuo is used to it, but he doesn't think there is anything. The attendant beside the prince had already taken out a handkerchief and handed it to the prince.

The prince covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and made no secret of his dislike for such a place. As long as the people serving by the prince see an ugly person in the cell, they hurriedly opened the curtain to block the two sides the prince was going to pass.

If there is any straw that has accidentally fallen on the ground in front, the eunuchs will pick it up in advance, as if the grass would stain the noble feet of His Royal Highness.

Pei Jihuai glanced at the clean soles of the prince's feet. When he saw the prince last night, the prince's shoes were stained with a lot of mud, and he didn't see those who were serving them so sincerely and fearfully.

"His Royal Highness, Jinpo Country prisoner Ava is being held here." Zhang Shuo asked his subordinates to open the door and said, "His Royal Highness, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. The lower officials and others are waiting outside."

The people at Dali Temple retreated cleanly, leaving only the prince.

In terms of knowledge, Dali Temple is professional.

Ava was in shackles on his hands and feet. The shackles were locked with chains. The other end of the chains was welded to the wall. Even if the prison door was wide open, he could not escape.

He didn't eat for two days, making him look very haggard, and the corners of his dry and cracked mouth were sickly pale.

Hearing the voice of someone talking, he opened his tired eyes, his voice hoarse: "Who are you...?"

The visitor wore a gorgeous brocade robe, and there were many waiters behind him. His identity was definitely unusual.

The prince glanced at the dirt in the cell that hadn't been mopped for long, didn't walk in, and didn't even sit on the chair brought by the eunuch.

As the most beloved prince of Jinpo Country, Ava looks pretty good, with messy hair and beard that has not been taken care of for a long time, making him look very decadent.

Ava waited for a long time, but the other party didn't speak, feeling a little unsure. After he came to Great Jin Country, he tried a hunger strike to test Great Jin's bottom line. He didn't expect Great Jin to ignore him, the prince, and didn't seem to care about his life or death.

The more indifferent Great Jin's attitude towards him, the more uneasy he is, which means that Great Jin has completely ignored Jinpo and is so arrogant.

After understanding her situation, Ava calmed down instead. Because he has to go back alive, only to go back alive can he become Jinpo's king.

"I don't know who came?" He stood up with difficulty supporting the prison railing, and saluted the person.

"I heard that the second prince is very dissatisfied with my Dajin's hospitality." The prince raised his eyebrows slightly. "At a glance today, the second prince is still very comfortable with Dajin."

He is good-looking, with slightly raised peach eyes and raised eyebrows, as if he was mocking others.

Feeling humiliated, Ava lowered his head to prevent the prince from seeing his expression: "It turns out to be the noble prince of Dajin."

"The visitor is a guest, this master alone should come to see you as a guest." The prince raised his hand slightly, and the eunuch brought the wine and meat to Ava, "I heard that the second prince wants to see me as the princess. The princess is a woman. It was good to meet with the second prince, so Gu came in person."

Seeing that Ava didn't move the wine and vegetables, the prince looked slightly cold: "Why, the second prince dislikes the wine and vegetables that Gu prepared for you is unappetizing?"

"Thank you, your Royal Highness for the reward." Ava took a sip from the flask with a cold face. The emperor of the Jin Dynasty loved and trusted the prince very much, and he couldn't offend him.

But he heard that the emperor of Dajin has always liked to jealously jealous of his children. The prince acted so arrogantly that sooner or later the emperor of Dajin would be dissatisfied with the prince.

When the princes of Dajin are in chaos, Jinpo still has a chance.

Thinking of the land sent out in the surrender book, Ava's eyes were red with hatred. If he hadn't been caught in the tricks of the Hua family and believed the woman's lies, how could he end up like this.

"Eat meat." The prince lifted his chin.

The meat is already a bit cold. Ava hasn’t eaten for two days. After eating, he feels satisfied at the first bite. After taking a few more bites, he can’t help but feel like vomiting out, but he knows that if he vomits out at this time, he will offend this unknown person. Prince.

He covered his mouth and swallowed the greasy and disgusting meat abruptly.

"Continue." The prince did not lift his eyelids.

It wasn't until Ava had eaten all the meat on the table and his veins violent, the prince slowly said: "The second prince is a royal family, so he must be more decent and elegant when eating. Otherwise, let others see you, thinking that Jinpo Country royal family. , I don’t know what etiquette is."

Being forced to eat cold food and being so insulted, Ava's hatred can hardly be concealed.

"Prince Ava Xi was brave and good at fighting. He led his troops to massacre nearly 10,000 civilians in Dajin, Huzhou." The prince looked a little cold, "I saw it today, but so."

After speaking, he turned to leave the prison, nodded slightly to the official of Dali Temple who was guarding the door, and sat in the sedan chair.

"His Royal Highness, are you going back to the palace?"

The sedan was quiet for a while, and the prince said: "Go to the Taoist temple in Beijing suburbs."

Sending away the prince, Pei Jihuai said, "My lord, the prince seems to be in a bad mood today."

"Today is Empress Gonghui's memorial day." Zhang Shuo whispered, "The prince is in a bad mood, it's normal."

"Where did the prince go today?" Emperor Changlong asked the eunuch beside him.

"Returning to your majesty, the eunuch next to the prince reported that the prince went to Dali Temple and then was going to the suburbs of Beijing to relax." Zhao Sancai glanced at his majesty's face, "do you want to call the prince back to the palace?"

"No, let him go today." Emperor Changlong waved his hand. At this moment, an eunuch came in to report, saying that it was His Royal Highness who asked to see him.

"No." You don't need to guess. The boss came to file a complaint. Emperor Changlong didn't bother to coax such an old son. "For such a big person, he hasn't made any progress, so he knows to stare at Yuan Su and find me to file a complaint."

Zhao Sancai lowered his head and grinded without speaking.

The King of England heard that his father couldn't see him because of something, so he turned his head angrily and went to Lincui Palace. If the emperor did not see him, he could not tell the emperor that the prince had abused the prisoners.

"The abuse was good." After hearing what the King of England said, she did not look at the King of England. "The palace heard that the prince named Azhang led an army to attack Huzhou, which is adjacent to Qinghan Prefecture. Killed me and nearly ten thousand people..."

"Mother concubine, his name is Ava."

"What do I call him a cat or a dog." Concubine Xian patted the table. "This kind of person should be cleaned up by the prince. What are you going to sue?!"

King of England: "..."

"Forget it." Concubine Xian became more angry as she thought about it, "Anyway, the prince has already opened this head, so you should go find the trouble with that cat and dog. It's a vent to those innocent people."

"Mother concubine..." The English king looked at Concubine Xian silently, "Aren't we looking for the prince's handle?"

"What kind of handle is this?" Concubine Xian stood up and pushed the King of England out of the door, "You can do things for a long time."

So that day, not long after Dali Temple sent the prince away, the King of England with a not very good face was ushered in. Before they knew what the King of England was coming from, they saw the King of England mocking the second prince Jinpo before they left.

Pei Jihuai looked at Dali Temple suspiciously: "Master Zhang, Lord Ying is in a bad mood today?"

Half an hour later, King Ning who inquired about the news also arrived. Although his mind is not very good, he knows what the eldest brother is doing with the prince, and he follows the principles of life.

It's just that his character is simple and honest by nature, and he is a little greedy and afraid of death, so he can't grasp the essence of curse. He had to ask the doorman to prepare the curse for him in advance, then moved a chair and sat outside the cell, holding the manuscript and cursing a bunch of words.

After reading the manuscript, he felt that he was not performing well enough, so he sipped at the cell where Ava was, and then touched his slightly convex belly and left with satisfaction.

Everyone at Dali Temple: "..."

Most of the princes today are ill.

After finishing the meal at noon, Wei Mingyue said to Hua Liuli: "When I left the capital, I went to the Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing and made a wish, and let the fairy bless you to be born safely. Now I am back in Beijing, I should go to pay it back."

"Mother, it's this afternoon. You just returned to Beijing. Let's rest for a few days before going." Hua Liuli felt sorry for Wei Mingyue's body and persuaded, "The Taoist temple is there and won't run away."

"When you can fulfil your vow, naturally the sooner the better." Wei Mingyue gently touched her daughter's head. She was pregnant with the child and rushed all the way from Beijing to Qinghan Prefecture. On the way, she thought that the child would not be able to be kept, but The child is very well-behaved. Not only did she not trouble her, but she did not even have morning sickness.

Even the suspicious-looking spies in Qinghanzhou were only discovered because the child kicked her a few feet in the stomach. She wanted to sit and rest at the tea stand next to them.

Because of that, the child who was just seven months old in her stomach can't wait to come into this world.

In her heart, this child was a gift from God to the husband and wife, precious as a gem, so she named her Liuli.

Liuli is precious and fragile, they want to protect her forever.

"Liu Li, you go with me." When Wei Mingyue saw that Hua Yingting wanted to follow up, she added, "Yingting and Changkong take good care of their house."

Hua Yingting sat back angrily: "I can't go if I don't go. You have to look at those Miss Langjun on the roadside."

Wei Mingyue glared at him, and he quickly closed his mouth.

"Daddy, I will take good care of my mother, don't worry." Hua Liuli blinked at Hua Yingting.

Hua Yingting thought, let's pull it down, you two will get together and only look at Girl beloved together. He even worried that there is no bottom line for a lady to pet her daughter. What if her daughter fancy a man who would help her rob a man?

The mother and daughter went out happily, leaving the father and son to look after the house.

"Why should the Taoist temple be cultivated on the mountain?" Hua Liuli was dragged up the mountain by her mother, like a cabbage that had been beaten by frost.

"You are so lazy..." Suddenly, Wei Mingyue's style of painting changed. "You are weak, and the gods will bless you."

Hua Liuli looked up at Wei Mingyue, mother, dare you lie in front of the gods?

Wei Mingyue smiled, the gods were all very big, so she must not count on such a small lie.

The mother and daughter let go of their hands calmly, and saluted the person at the top of the steps: "His Royal Highness."

The author has something to say: Queen Mother: Love Nikki-Dress UP Queen, a senior high-end player.

Ava: Shi can kill but not insult, so I choose to live.
