Nangong Xuan Room.

When the Han Dynasty was prosperous, this palace, not far from the Taiji Temple, was once used as a daily living place for several generations of emperors to handle government affairs after they descended.

Later, Emperor Huang spent a lot of money and spent more than ten years building the North Palace. After completion, its gorgeous and extravagant, far better than the Nangong.

After Huangdi, the daily management and living activities of the Han emperors were transferred to the North Palace.

Nangong was gradually abandoned, and the Xuan chamber was changed to the Taichang Department.

After Wei Shao occupied Luoyang, he reopened the Xuan chamber as his temporary residence.

Xiao Qiao knew that Wei Shao had been very busy these days after returning from Yanzhou.

Le Zhenggong returned from the Northern Expedition without success. He vomited blood on the way back to Hanzhong, feeling depressed and haggard, so that his old wounds recurred and he died soon after.

Hanzhong glutinous rice. After the funeral was over, not long ago, the eldest son Le Zhengkai proclaimed the emperor, built the name Daliang, and pursued Le Zhenggong as the first emperor.

Lezhenggong has been operating in Hanzhong for several generations. With Liangzhou as the center, from the west of Hangu Pass, it occupies Qinzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou and other places. Although he died, his sons were not mediocre. After taking advantage of the situation to become emperor, he gathered troops and horses, and he had the momentum to fight Wei Shaojue.

Xiao Qiao waited for a long time on the side of the corridor outside the announcement room.

There was a faint feeling of discomfort in the chest.

Remind her again that her daughter Philip is still at home, waiting for her to return.

Finally came the sound of footsteps.

She saw Li Dian Weiquan and others rushing out of it, rushing.

When several people saw Xiao Qiao, they were slightly startled, then stopped, and then came to greet her.

Li Dian said, "When did the lady arrive in Luoyang?"

"Arrived today."

Xiao Qiao looked at the red palace gate in front of him: "Is Junhou there?"

"In there."

Xiao Qiao nodded slightly and entered.

Gongsun Yang finally came out with Wei Shao, remembered something, and said to Wei Shao: "My teacher has already returned to the mountain, and I heard that there was an epidemic in the south, so I went south, passed by near Luoyang, and learned that Zhang Bang was seeking medical treatment, and then entered the city. General Wei There is no serious problem, my teacher left early this morning, and I can't stay..."

Wei Shao stepped out of the threshold, and suddenly saw Xiao Qiao approaching from the opposite side, his footsteps stopped, his eyes fell on her, he took a breath, and then his face sank.

Gongsun Yang raised his head, hurriedly greeted him, and said, "The lady has worked **** the road. I just arrived in Luoyang today, why don't you go to rest first?"

Xiao Qiao stepped up the steps, stopped in front of the two, and said with a smile, "Thank you for sending someone to pick me up here. I'm not tired."

His eyes turned to Wei Shao, and he said, "Could my husband stop for a while?"

Wei Shao said coldly, "What are you doing here if you don't go back to Yuyang?"

Xiao Qiao said, "I have something to say to my husband."

Wei Shao raised his foot and left.

Xiao Qiao reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Wei Shao lowered his head and glanced at her plain white hands that were tightly clutching his sleeves, then raised his eyes and stared at her, showing annoyance.

But those two little hands still tightly tugged at his sleeves.

"Just take up my husband for a moment, don't delay things." She said, her voice low, but firm.

Gongsun Yang swallowed his saliva, turned his face quickly and said, "My lord, why don't you listen to the lady's words. I'll retire first..."

He hurriedly bowed to the two of them, turned around and left.

Wei Shao froze by the threshold, motionless.

There was no one around. Only the gigantic fragrant tree in front of the hall crowned the ramp, and a gust of wind passed by, emitting a rustling tree chorus.

Xiao Qiao slowly let go of his hand.

"I just went to visit General Wei Liang. Adi and I are walking with me to plead guilty to General Wei Liang on behalf of my father."

Wei Shao's gaze fell on the fragrant tree by the corridor in front of the hall.

Xiao Qiao stared at his rocky face: "Fortunately, General Wei didn't blame him. Before I left, I said to General Wei that I hope he can accept my younger brother to train under his tent. Thanks to General Wei, I agreed. I just didn't. With your nod, he doesn't dare to make his own decisions."

Wei Shao turned his head sharply.

"That's something you can make decisions too?" His tone was serious.

"That's why I'm here to tell my husband to know." Xiao Qiao said, "I don't have any other intentions. It's just that now the family affairs have passed, and it is expected that there will be nothing to do in the next period of time. Adi is young and should not waste time. My family is ashamed. For General Wei, let Adi come to listen to the general, whether it is to lead the horse or support the saddle, it is all right."

Wei Shao stared at her.

Xiao Qiao met his gaze: "Naturally, to keep him or not, how long to keep him, in the end, everything is up to your heart."

Wei Shao was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his feet, his sleeves were blowing in the wind, he hurried down the steps, and he had walked under the fragrant tree.

Xiao Qiao chased after him and stopped opposite him, blocking his way.

Wei Shao finally stopped: "What else are you doing?" His tone was questioning and impatient.

He is more than half a head taller than Joe. The two stood face to face like this, Xiao Qiao raised her face slightly and stared at his face.

"I know you hate my Qiao family's repeated breach of contract, and even more hate me for being false to you, called husband and wife, and actually guarding against it. Since I said it just now, I want to tell you what I have in my heart, so I don't care if you listen or not. If you go in, I have to say it.”

"A long time ago, I repeated a terrible nightmare. In the dream, the Qiao and Wei families were married, and my Qiao family married a daughter to you as his wife. However, the hatred between the two families was not resolved as you wished. You were bent on revenge, and finally my family No one was spared, either directly at your hands or indirectly because of you."

She closed her eyes and opened them.

"I married you as my wife with such a nightmare that I experienced in my previous life. After marriage, I was careful not to take a wrong step. Gradually, the relationship between you and me finally broke the ice. Of course, at that time, whether you treat me or not How good, your words and deeds always make me feel deeply pressured, as if my family and I's life, death, fortune, and misfortune are all between your joy and anger, not to mention that I can't get rid of it 's dream."

"In such a situation, I hope my family will be stronger. It's not that I want to be your enemy, but I think that one day, when the kindness between you and my husband can no longer maintain the status quo. At that time, my family can protect themselves. Even if it’s like a man’s arm, it’s better than sitting there and waiting to die, as I dreamed.”

Wei Shao didn't look at her originally.

Slowly set your eyes on her face.

He stared at her, his eyes darkened and his brows furrowed.

"All I ask is the word reassurance." She said slowly.

"Today, you and I are related to this stage, and you are right to scold me for being deliberate. It's just husband, under the circumstances of the past, how can you and I talk about friendship? If there is no friendship, how can you trust me, you can let me rest assured Are you and my mother's life all entrusted to you?"

"Even at this moment, I still don't think it was a mistake for me to do that. It's just that I didn't think that at that time, husband, you would make such a step backward for me and give me the promise I wanted with all my heart. Now you hate I, too, are human.”

"I really blamed you, and the sincerity of you chasing me to the post house on the outskirts of Xindu that night."

Saying these words, she felt stuffy in her cavity, and the **** in front of her chest seemed to follow her mood.

She turned sideways, let out a long breath, and waited for her emotions to calm down a little.

"I'm here to apologize to you. Because I used to lead you to be sincere to me, you gave it, but I didn't pay the same amount myself."

"If in the past, I entered your house with the heart of a daughter of Joe, then from now on, I will be your wife, Philip's mother."

When she finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.

The creamy yellow fragrant wood tidbits fell from the canopy in the wind, and silently touched the top of her hair and fell on his shoulders.

Wei Shao didn't move.

"Philip is almost three months old. She is very pitiful. I think about her day and night. I'll leave now and go back to Yuyang."

Xiao Qiao suddenly said, nodded slightly at him, and turned to leave.

The face that was bloodless, even with a smile that couldn't completely hide the haggard face, turned around in front of him.

Wei Shao seemed to have just regained his senses, looking at the azure-colored pavilion in front of him who was leaving.

She walked fast, her footsteps were getting faster and faster.

As if in the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the end of the palace road.

The carriages were still parked outside the Suzaku gate of the palace.

Accompanied by Chunniang, Xiao Qiao left Luoyang quietly, just like when she came.

In early June, she returned to Yuyang smoothly.

As soon as he entered the door, regardless of the fatigue of the journey, he changed his clothes, quickly washed his face and hands, and immediately went to the north house.

After not seeing him for more than a month, Philip seems to have grown bigger, with a pair of beautiful round eyes wide open. At first, he didn't seem to recognize Xiao Qiao, but just looked at her.

"Little lady, your mother is back!"

The nurse was anxious and kept reminding her.

But Philip still didn't seem to recognize her.

Little Joe stretched out his hand to Philip. She grabbed her fingers at once and held them tightly.

She was so strong that mother and daughter were skin-to-skin.

"Philip—"

Xiao Qiao looked at her daughter's pink and tender cheeks without blinking, and called her name.

Philip recognized the soft, familiar voice that only his mother had, and immediately became happy, babbling in his mouth, swaying his little arm, leaning over and reaching out to Xiao Qiao with the other hand, the one on his wrist. The old silver clang with the pattern of blessing made a pleasant sound of light hitting.

Xiao Qiao immediately took her daughter and hugged her small body in her arms, greedily smelling the familiar faint scent of frankincense emanating from her body.

All the tiredness and grief disappeared in an instant. A heart filled with tender pity and guilt.

After giving birth, she had a lot of milk and it was sweet. Philip seemed to prefer her mother's milk, so although Mrs. Xu had prepared two wet nurses before, Xiao Qiao always fed her.

After going out, she was reluctant to wean her daughter's breasts. Under Chunniang's guidance, she regularly squeezed every day to avoid weaning due to prolonged swelling.

At this moment, I finally held my daughter back in my arms again, and the milk came out again.

As if smelling the frankincense from his mother, Philip leaned towards her chest immediately.

Xiao Qiao took the warm towel and undressed and wiped it gently, breastfeeding her daughter.

The fleshy hands of the fibula tightly grasped Xiao Qiao's shirt, closed his eyes, and swallowed with big mouthfuls. After he was full, he fell asleep in Xiao Qiao's arms.
