Chapter 174
Princess Qinghe was born at the time when Chang'an's army was on the brink of defeat. There was a riot in Er's palace, theft and robbery, and she gave birth to her daughter only three days ago, and she just watched the palace people take her daughter away. The tender intestines are almost broken.Over the years, she fantasized about Qinghe's appearance every day, but she couldn't even form a shadow. The only thing that was unforgettable was the red mole the size of a corn, which she would never forget until she died. But now It was unbelievable to appear in front of her so suddenly.

After thinking about it repeatedly, a passionate heart occupied all her emotions.There are so many children with the same birthmark in the same year, the same month and the same day in the world. Even the emerald beads are not exactly the same. No matter how many doubts there are, she can't forget them at this moment.

The queen turned her head and wiped her tears with her sleeves, fearing that her emotions would flare up and scare her. After a long time, she looked back, her eyes were covered with misty rain, and she could see that her heart was turning a thousand times.

"Your parents...do they treat you well?"

Tizhen's eyebrows and eyes curved, "They love me the most. They let me do everything since I was a child, and I'm not used to being restrained. On the contrary, I'm still a little lonely in the palace. But... Fortunately, I met you. I think you are really happy." very dear."

The queen tucked her face with a handkerchief, and stroked her forehead hair, "Look at the sweet talker, she looks like a sweet person from Wuyin Water Town, not at all like the rustle blown by the wind and sand in Wusun."

Ti Zhen groaned, and said: "Actually, our family is not a decent Wusun people. We moved there later. At that time, the war was raging, and Chang'an's hometown couldn't stay, so we went to Wusun to escape the disaster. Later, due to business reasons, they gradually moved back to the Central Plains."

When the queen heard that her hometown was Chang'an, her heart sank and she asked in a low voice, "Did your parents tell you where you were born?"

Tizhen shook her head quickly, "I don't know, I just said it was born on the way to escape from the famine, and I don't know where it is." She slowly raised her eyes, showing confusion, "Why do you ask this?"

The soft voice revealed the sweetness of a young girl, the queen became more and more distracted, the corners of her mouth twisted, she looked straight at her, the eyes were filled with tears in an instant, she clearly wanted to hold back, but she was still like rolling beads fell down.

"Your Highness...you, why are you crying?"

My "children..." She held Tizhen's shoulders, as if she wanted to express her thoughts quickly, but suddenly her whole body shook, hearing the news that Chen Jieyu and Vice Commander Yang were coming, she hurriedly sucked her nose , wipe away the tears.

Chen Jieyu's steps were graceful, a pair of jasper and emerald steps were clinking, Yang Xuexin followed behind her, the two stepped into the room, and greeted the queen one after another, "May your Highness be blessed and safe."

The queen tucked the handkerchief back into her cuffs, told them to be normal, and said, "Why are you here?"

There was a flash in Chen Jieyu's eyes, and she already smiled, "I know that the queen cares about the princess, so I specially asked the dining room to make fresh shrimp and pine mushroom porridge to nourish the princess. Look..."

Raising his eyes, he signaled the maid to open the porridge box, "I watched the fire myself. It has been warming for several hours. The soup is very delicious. Why don't I share two bowls for you and the princess to taste, so I can comment on my concubine's taste?" craft."

The queen lowered her eyes and raised her brows, "It's really a good thing, and it smells good too. Let us have a drink from a bowl?"

The words "mother and wife" here made Chen Jieyu's eyeballs twitch in shock for a moment. She smiled embarrassingly, and hurriedly told people to go down and divide up, with a glint of innocence, "Don't talk about it, how much is the princess and the queen really like?" Very similar, if it wasn't for the horoscope without a tick, I really thought it was my own daughter!"

So she came to shake Tizhen's hand, and looked carefully, "It's the queen who loves you. If there is really a child like me, I can't wait to be her mother."

The queen scooped up a spoonful, smiled and scolded her for talking too fast, "I used to see that you were quiet and silent, but now that I know you well, I know that you are also a chatterbox."

"In the past, my concubine was timid, so I didn't dare to open my mouth. I was afraid that a sentence would not be pleasant. Your Highness, you slapped me. Now I know that the queen is good, and I can't wait to slap you for fun!"

The queen smiled and stretched out her hand to caress Tizhen's shoulder, "Listen to her, she is as old as you."

Tizhen laughed and said to the wind, "I don't blame Your Highness for joking. When I was strolling in the Imperial Garden, I met Jieyu several times before. She is really familiar with me." She stared at her, "Even this porridge is delicious. Can feel spicy!"

Chen Jieyu was overjoyed when she heard it, "If the princess likes it, I'll make it for you every day. I'm not afraid that you won't have enough, I'm just afraid that you won't eat enough."

"I'm afraid that Jieyu's slender hands will be tired."

"Look at you, I am an elder who serves my nephew and daughter-in-law, and I am not decent enough."

He looked at the queen happily again, with a happy face, "Your little one needs nourishment, and you can't let it go. My concubine sees that you have lost weight, so you have to eat something good to keep up with your nutrition. Mandarin fish and river prawns are the most plump at this time of year. The concubine was so greedy that I asked someone to buy a lot from outside the palace. If you think the porridge this time is good, ask someone to send some fish and shrimp to your palace later. No matter what, the little prince and princess will only be healthy when they are healthy. .”

The queen's eyelashes were slightly lowered, and her mouth became more gentle, "Please take a break, anyway, you are nestled here with us, who will serve your Majesty?"

Chen Jieyu said, "If this concubine really takes good care of you and gives birth to a white and fat prince, don't tell me that your Majesty is happy to reward you. If you don't reward me, I will ask you for it!" The corner of his mouth twitched, he raised his eyes and saw Yang Xuexin bowed his waist, and immediately babbled, "Oh, look at me, I was so busy showing courtesies to His Highness that I forgot Vice Chief Yang, why are you here?"

Yang Xuexin made a shallow salute, took two steps forward with the booklet in both hands, bent down and said, "Return to Your Highness, I have come to send you the planning list for this year's birthday banquet. Your Majesty asked you to take a look. Is there anything missing?" make up for it."

The queen took the brochure and looked at it carefully, her eyes were full of beautiful things, such as precious coral trees and red gold phoenix boats, she was stunned and couldn't help taking a breath, "Nowadays, the court is practicing frugality, why should a mere birthday banquet be so extravagant? "

Everyone knows that the Wei treasury is empty.

When the emperor first came to the throne, he also wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and invaded the capital of King Xiang in one go.However, the rear was unstable and the military expenditure was insufficient. Instead, the two forces stalemate. After a period of recuperation, Xiangguo also survived the cold winter. In spring, the grass is fat and the horse is strong. If you want to counterattack, you can only wait for the opportunity.

Not long ago, King Xiang incorporated a Mongol Heshi tribe, and their power was at its peak, which was in great contrast to the great Wei's resignation. Otherwise, the emperor would not have asked for money from King Jiyin with a shy face, even if he knew that the Shi family He is brother-in-law with the Huo family and the Cui family, a well-known wealthy businessman, so Shun Teng has to take out the money.

When Tizhen first heard this news, he also found it absurd. The imperial court advocated thrift, but was determined to kill chickens and eggs from merchants. It was not the actions of wise men. It was nothing more than the fear of changing the land tax policy, reducing the privileges of aristocratic families, and thus shaking interest groups. Are you willing to take the lead and bear the responsibility?

To the Queen's question, Yang Xuexin just smiled gently, "Your Majesty said, as long as His Majesty is happy..."

The queen immediately lowered her face, "What is happiness? Yu is the mother of Wei, how can I add my joy to the pain of the people? Go tell your majesty, and I will refute it. Be sure to keep things simple, otherwise It doesn't matter if we don't have this banquet." After speaking, he asked Yuning to hand over the brochure.

Yang Xuexin raised her hands and said yes, Chen Jieyu's eyes were full of autumn water, "His Royal Highness is truly a loving mother, and she is really a model of the mother of the world."

The queen said: "It's just a matter of cannibalism and loyalty. We have been supported by the people of the world, so naturally we must put the people of the world first. Could it be that because your majesty loves me, I will let it go, and repaying your majesty and the world is the right thing to do. As long as it is beneficial to the ruler and the people, the feast of chaff swallowing is also a pleasure."

Hearing her feelings, Chen Jieyu suddenly lowered her eyebrows and thought, Si Xuwan raised her eyes, "Actually, if you want to hold a beautiful banquet, it's not just about money, what matters is your heart. The queen has His Majesty's sincerity, so she brought it to the harem and said Which sister wouldn't be envious. If you don't take advantage of His Majesty's love for you, let the concubine come to give back my clumsy skills, I dare say it's not worth a thousand taels of silver." He said and stretched out two fingers.

The Queen's brows trembled, this was already [-]% of the usual celebration expenses, "Really?"

Chen Jieyu vowed, "If it's not true, I'll ask someone to chop off my concubine's head and use it as a drinking utensil for you." After finishing speaking, she hurriedly slapped her mouth, "Look at my mouth, the queen and the princess are talking nonsense about karma while pregnant. .”

Ti Zhen looked at the apricot blossoms on the table from a distance, and said with a smile: "I don't know what to do, Your Highness is also a man now, if you don't let Jieyu do the work, it's good, it's not good There is no extravagance, what do you think, Your Highness?"

The queen took a deep look at her, and her eyes relaxed for a moment, "It's up to you." She turned her head and told Yang Xuexin, "Remember to tell Your Majesty."

Tizhen pursed her lips and smiled, "To Qiongyao is all over the place, and to socialize with you, with a heart like a snow heart. Since Her Majesty the Queen thinks so much about His Majesty, His Majesty will naturally be considerate of His Majesty's heart, and he even said a word."

After all, she maintained a reserved and calm expression, aligned with Yang Xuexin's surprised eyes, stretched out a finger in her direction imperceptibly, and then touched the necklace of pearls on her chest with her right hand as a cover.

Yang Xuexin trembled suddenly, and raised her head to look at her anxiously, her deep black eyes faintly made her heart palpitate.
