As night fell, Liu De examined the bamboo slips in front of him.
This is a report sent by Zhang Tang. It is a report on Piyang Hou Shenping's actions after entering Huaishi today.
"This Marquis Piyang is quite cautious..." Liu De took a casual look and found that all of Shen Pingji's actions were normal, and he didn't find anything unusual about him staying in a certain place on purpose.
But Liu De was not in a hurry at all. Even if he did nothing, according to historical development, someone would come out to report him soon.
After putting away the official documents, Liu De got up and called two maids to help him change into regular clothes, comb his hair, and then put on his long sword before taking a car to Changle Palace.
When Liu De arrived at Changle Palace, Changle Palace was already busy.
It can be seen that Queen Mother Dou has put a lot of thought into preparing for tonight's family banquet.
With just a quick glance, Liu De saw several teams of singers rehearsing in various side halls.
He even smelled the aroma of the aged wine left in the wine cellar in Changle Palace by the great ancestor Liu Bang.
You should know that the fine wines brewed during Liu Bang's period will generally only be used when the new emperor ascends the throne or the previous emperor establishes a temple.
pity……
Empress Dowager Dou worked hard, but in the end it was all in vain.
Liu De was convinced of this after meeting Cheap Daddy.
Liu De walked into the Yongshou Hall and glanced at Su Ji who had already sat down.
He walked over and saluted: "My son has met his mother..." But his attitude was somewhat stiff.
"Well..." Su Ji responded coldly: "You can sit down..."
Although Su Ji has a bad temper, she is not stupid.
Now that the situation is gradually becoming clearer, she can finally see that her second son, whom she didn't pay much attention to before, is going to counterattack and ascend to the throne, and it is very likely that he will be established as the crown prince.
However, the eldest son Liu Rong, who was afraid of falling when he held it in his hands and afraid of melting when he held it in his mouth, became increasingly unpopular with the emperor.
This made her panic immediately.
I want to do something to make up for the previous rift, but I can't bear to lose face.
That's why this scene happened now.
When Su Ji thought about it, she had given her a step. Liu De should be grateful and seize the step immediately, and then the mother and son could get back together, so that she could take advantage of the opportunity that Liu De would confer as the crown prince in the future.
Bo ousted the queen from her position.
Who knew, the next second she would see an irritating scene:
Liu De did not answer her, but walked straight forward, came to the front of the palace, and first greeted Empress Dowager Dou: "My grandson pays homage to the Imperial Grandmother!"
This is nothing.
The next scene was the scene that frightened Su Ji.
After Liu De got up, he walked straight to Queen Bo who was sitting at the head of Queen Mother Dou, knelt on the ground, and shouted softly: "My son Liu De pays homage to my mother!"
Queen Bo immediately supported Liu De with a smile on her face, then pulled Liu De to her side, took Liu De's hand, and started talking.
Because the distance was too far and the various noises at the banquet were mixed together, Su Ji couldn't hear clearly what Liu De and Empress Bo were talking about.
but……
Watching Liu De and Mr. Bo talking happily.
Su Ji felt as if something had completely left her.
"Why?" Su Ji whispered as if she was lost.
She wanted to make a fuss, but she didn't have the guts - no one dared to act petty and temperamental in front of Queen Mother Dou.
Because if you act petty in front of the emperor, you will get scolded at most. The emperor, who values face, cannot really lose his face.
But Queen Mother Dou was different.
Empress Dowager Dou could beat a concubine into the cold palace of Yongxiang without the consent of the emperor, or even give her death!
…………………………………………
Liu De didn't care what Su Ji would think.
To him, Su Ji and Liu Rong were all benevolent and righteous, and there was no further debt they owed.
After chatting with Queen Bo for a while, Liu De saw a little person jumping up to him and said with a smile: "Cousin Liu De..."
"Cousin Gillian!" Liu De touched Chen Gillian's little head, pinched her pink and tender face, and asked: "Where is the eldest princess' aunt?"
"My mother was talking to the emperor's uncle in the back hall..." Chen Ajiao said: "The emperor's place was not fun at all. He was so bored that Ajiao ran out to see if my cousin was here..." Chen Ajiao counted her fingers and said:
"Gillian has come out to see me three times, and my cousin has just arrived!" She pouted as she spoke.
Liu De smiled and coaxed: "It's my cousin's fault. Accept the punishment. Accept the punishment. In two days, my cousin will take Gillian to play outside the city, okay? Let's go hunting!"
As he said this, Liu De's heart drifted to the back hall.
There is no doubt that Liu Wu is not stupid, and of course he will recruit Liu Piao as his back-up.
The question now is, which side will Liu Prostitute take?
Liu De thought about it and felt that his eldest princess aunt would probably be able to ride on two boats.
Isn't there a saying among the Chehous of Chang'an that is circulated privately?
Always loyal to the Emperor of Han, who is the Emperor loyal to...
Liu De chuckled softly, came back to his senses, took Chen Ajiao's little hand, and said: "Gillian, please give your regards to the Queen!"
Only then did Chen Ajiao discover Empress Bo. It was not her fault. Empress Bo liked to be quiet. Even when the Empress Dowager was around, she would often sit alone and not attract much attention.
"Gillian meets the queen!" Chen Gillian actually knew some politeness, and Yingying made a wish.
Queen Bo had been observing the interaction between Liu De and Chen Ajiao.
With a woman's intuition, she discovered that Liu De was deliberately getting close to Chen Ajiao, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Could it be that Liu De has fallen in love with Guantao's daughter?" Queen Bo guessed in her mind that although Chen Ajiao was young, as Guantao's beloved daughter, she was a marriage partner that many people were eyeing.
Liu De aspired to become the crown prince.
It is natural to have the idea of marrying Guan Tao!
Thinking of this, Empress Bo became enthusiastic about Chen Ajiao: If Chen Ajiao could use Chen Ajiao's hand to contact Guan Tao, and Guan Tao would be around, it might be easy to adopt Liu De.
and……
Empress Bo thought that it seemed that Guantao and Su Ji had always been at odds with each other.
Presumably, with generous bribes and a good lobbyist, Guantao should be able to help.
By then, Ajiao Chen will be his daughter-in-law!
Thinking of this, Queen Bo's face suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and her attitude towards Chen Ajiao was like that of her own daughter.
After all, Chen Ajiao was just a child and didn't understand this. However, she had been pampered since she was a child, but she wasn't too interested in Empress Bo's special closeness - she had been Empress Dowager Dou's heart since she was born, and the whole world almost revolved around her.
In the end, it was Liu De who helped and coaxed Chen Ajiao from the side, which made Chen Ajiao change her attitude towards Empress Bo.
It's strange to say that Chen Ajiao has been spoiled since she was a child, and there are only a thousand or eight hundred people who flatter her, but she seems to have a soft spot for Liu De. From the first time they met again, she was like a little sister in front of Liu De.
Just as well-behaved.
This surprised Liu De a little.
