Soldiers come to the world

Liu Jing looked at his wife suspiciously, this matter is extremely confidential, how could his wife know?

Tao Zhan smiled and said: "This matter was actually told by Xiao Qiao. She seemed to know a little about the matter between her husband and Da Qiao. Later, Da Qiao wrote her a letter, which revealed her address in Chengdu. , I rushed to Chengdu to find her."

"I see!"

Liu Jing thought to himself, with Da Qiao's intelligence, she should have revealed this on purpose. After all, Da Qiao also hoped that Tao Zhan would know about the suffering of loneliness and worry about the future of the child in Chengdu.

After pondering for a while, Liu Jing asked again: "How many people know about this?"

Tao Zhan thought for a while and said, "Xiao Qiao knows it, and Shang Xiang knows it too. In addition, there is Da Qiao's personal servant girl. If she knows about her pregnancy, there are also female guards Zhong Xue and Doctor Wang. I have checked carefully. It should be Only these few people know."

"But she is more than five months pregnant. Even if I marry her, she will give birth in a few months. It will be difficult to hide it. What should I do?"

Tao Zhan shook his head and said with a smile, "Does your husband know that things are troublesome now?"

Liu Jing said helplessly: "It's true that you only feel a headache when things come to an end. What good advice can Madam have?"

"I've thought about it for you. She is not pregnant now, so she can hide it. First, let her enter the mansion as soon as possible. The husband will accept her as a concubine, and then let her live in the villa, so that she will not be raped when she gives birth to a child." I know, after a long time, no one will pay attention to this loophole."

Liu Jing frowned, "It's not right to let her live in the villa alone!"

"If you don't want her to live in the villa, then we'll move, to Weiyang Palace. Weiyang Palace is big enough to hide from all eyes and ears. The current Hanwang Mansion is too small. It must be hard to hide it if you let her live here. All kinds of gossip will eventually get out."

Liu Jing paced slowly in the room with his hands behind his back. It wasn't that he was reluctant to put Da Qiao in the villa, but that he had just destroyed Jiangdong. If he married Da Qiao just now, it would chill the hearts of Jiangdong civil and military officials. He had to consider With this level of influence, even if he wants to marry Da Qiao, it will take a while for Jiang Dong's influence to fade away.

In fact, Tao Zhan reminded him on the one hand that he can move into Weiyang Palace. Weiyang Palace is so big and closely guarded that it can indeed block all news. Isn't Sun Quan's idea of ​​attacking Da Qiao at the beginning just to bring her into the building? Is it impossible for outsiders to know about the Karma Palace?

As for the usurpation involved in using Weiyang Palace, in fact it is no longer a problem. Sun Quan lives in Jianye Palace, and Cao Cao himself lives in Tongque Palace. It is presumptuous.

The reason why Liu Jing didn't move into Weiyang Palace was just because he didn't want to affect too much. Now for Da Qiao, he had to consider this plan. After pondering for a long time, Liu Jing slowly said to Tao Zhan: "You're right, moving to Weiyang Palace is indeed One way."

Tao Zhan was just talking casually, but she didn't expect her husband to respond seriously that he wanted to move to Weiyang Palace, which surprised her. After a while, Tao Zhan also realized, and said quickly: "Husband, you don't really want to move to Weiyang Palace. Bar!"

Liu Jing sat down and said earnestly to his wife: "I used to ask you to be simple and strictly prohibited rich clothes and fine food. It is indeed a bit extreme. It seems to be advocating frugality, but this will also make the ministers uncomfortable and cause dissatisfaction in their hearts. Instead, the gain outweighs the loss. The same is true for moving into Weiyang Palace. Obviously with this condition, moving into Weiyang Palace is already expected, but you insist on living in a small house. It seems self-restraining, but in fact it is a bit hypocritical, and it will damage the confidence of supporters all over the world. , I thought that I would not dare to take a step beyond my status as a minister, so we took advantage of the east wind that swept Jiangdong this time, and we officially moved into Weiyang Palace, which will make people in the world regard Chang'an as orthodox."

"But if you do this, isn't your husband afraid that others will accuse you of disobedience?"

"Those who want to accuse me will criticize no matter what I do, and those who support me will support no matter what I do, so trespassing is just an excuse to attack political opponents. If I live in Weiyang Palace trespassing, then Cao Cao The Tongque Palace where he lives is many times more luxurious than the Ye Palace where the emperor lives, so why no one says he is a usurper?"

Tao Zhan nodded silently, "If Husband decides to move into Weiyang Palace, I have no objection, but I don't want Husband to do it for a woman."

"There is no necessary relationship with her, she is just a touch point, let me finally make up my mind."

Liu Jing and Tao Zhan have reached a consensus, then it will be a matter of course for Da Qiao to enter the mansion. If Da Qiao didn't want to marry Liu Jing as a concubine a few months ago, she didn't even have the intention of remarrying, just calmly After living through this life, but after she became pregnant, her mind changed, especially at night when she felt the heartbeat of the child in her womb, the joy of being a mother, she was even more willing to sacrifice everything for the child.

She has no demands on herself, but she does not want her child to become an illegitimate child or illegitimate daughter without a father. It was in Chengdu that Da Qiao changed her mind. She wrote to Xiao Qiao and said implicitly In her own situation, she is willing to marry Liu Jing as a concubine.

The journey from being single to being married is not smooth. The most important thing is that she has to pass the hurdle of her regular wife, Tao Zhan. Without Tao Zhan's consent, she will always be just a housewife, and the children she gives birth to will only become illegitimate children.

Fortunately, Tao Zhan is a tolerant and rational woman, no one is trapped by selfishness, she thinks more about her husband's reputation, so she actively deals with it, takes Da Qiao back to Chang'an, and finally expresses her position to her husband, she is willing to accept Da Qiao Joe.

It was Tao Zhan's needlework that made Da Qiao finally enter the Hanwang Mansion as a wife and concubine after five months of pregnancy. At night, a carriage quietly drove into the Hanwang Mansion from the side door. In the inner hall of the Hanwang Mansion, Tao Zhan accepted Da Qiao's tea ceremony officially confirmed Da Qiao's identity.

However, this matter was not publicized, only a few wives and concubines of Liu Jing participated in the concubine ceremony. Liu Jing did not want the news of Da Qiao marrying him to become a topic on the streets of Chang'an the next day, even though many people in the mansion knew that King Han married A new concubine, whose name seems to be Jiang Lian, but no one knows who this Jiang Lian is?What does it look like?Where did it come from again?

In the back house of King Han’s Mansion, two maids lead the way with lanterns, while Xiao Qiao and Sun Shangxiang slowly follow behind. Like her elder sister, Da Qiao, she is also pregnant for nearly six months, and walking is already a bit inconvenient , while Sun Shangxiang supported her to walk slowly.

"Shang Xiang, this time Eldest Sister really tried her best. Not only did she want to let my sister get in, but she also wanted to hide it from everyone according to the general's wishes. I still can't figure it out, why not let my sister get in in a good way?"

Xiao Qiao didn't hear Sun Shangxiang's reply for a while, so she looked back at her, and seeing that she was silent, she asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Sun Shangxiang sighed softly, shook his head and said: "Speaking of which, Da Qiao was once my sister-in-law, and I can't accept it, but, thinking about it, she is also very pitiful. The elder brother passed away early, and now Jiangdong is also perished. The three My father passed away a month ago, and she is alone in this world, as long as she is not forced, why should I interfere with this matter because of my unhappiness? That would be too selfish."

At this time, the two came to Xiao Qiao's yard, Xiao Qiao took Sun Shangxiang's arm and smiled and said, "Would you like to come into my room and sit for a while?"

Sun Shangxiang forced a smile and said, "If you don't think I'm annoying, I'll go and sit for a while!"

"Where I think you are annoying, I'm afraid you won't worry about your son."

"The boy should have fallen asleep. I have nothing to worry about if there is a wet nurse to accompany him."

The two walked into the courtyard, went up to the second floor and sat down. Xiao Qiao's maid served hot tea for them. Sun Shangxiang held the teacup and said, "After all, Da Qiao was Jiang Dong's mistress and had a high prestige in the army. During the Battle of Chibi that year, didn’t Cao Cao openly ask for your sisters? As a result, Jiang Dong’s general was angered, and the emissary Jiang Gan was almost killed. Now that Jiang Dong has just died, Fu Lang is eager to marry her, which will make Jiang Dong civil and military feel cold, so this You can't make it public, just enter the house quietly, how can you get married like you?"

Xiao Qiaoxiu frowned slightly, "But this kind of thing can't be covered with paper after all, and sooner or later it will be known to others."

"If time drags on, everyone will lose interest in Jiangdong. Even if they know about it, it doesn't matter. The key is to give Jiangdong civil and military officials a face. Everyone knows that Hanwang cares about their feelings, and they don't care about it anymore. If you ask for it in front of the world like Cao Cao, who will save face?"

"I can understand what you said like this. I didn't expect you to go back to Jiangdong and improve a lot!"

"Watching Jiangdong perish, if you don't grow, you will grow."

Xiao Qiao saw that Sun Shangxiang was in a low mood, so she changed the subject with a smile, "Shangxiang, do you know how I knew about the relationship between my sister and the general?"

"You knew it before?" Sun Shangxiang asked suspiciously.

"I just noticed a little clue before. The last time the general took my sister to leave Jianye, I found that my sister looked at the general differently, especially when I said goodbye later, the kind of reluctance in my sister's eyes."

"Let's not talk about this!"

Sun Shangxiang interrupted Xiao Qiao, and said: "I heard from the eldest sister that we will move into Weiyang Palace soon, do you know?"

Xiao Qiao was taken aback, then shook her head, "I don't know at all, when will we... move?"

"It should be soon, probably in these two days."
