In the south of Chang'an City, a carriage was slowly approaching Chang'an City under the guard of a hundred Han cavalrymen. Inside the carriage was Empress Fushou who fled from Xuchang. But Wei Guo did not recognize her as the empress dowager, but made Cao Jie the empress dowager instead.

The state of Han needed to legally deny the new emperor established by Cao Pi. The legitimacy of the Han Dynasty can be determined legally.

Fushou had already figured this out on the way, and she also understood why Han Guo rescued her and sent her to Chang'an, which reassured her that at least the rest of her life would not be spent in turmoil.

"Queen Mother, that's Chang'an City." Li Fu introduced with a smile, pointing to the Chang'an City Wall in the distance.

Along the way, Li Fu took good care of Fu Hou, and Fu Shou also had a good impression of him. Fu Shou looked intently at the distant city wall. When she was young, she moved the capital to Chang'an with her husband. A tragic memory, hunger, cold, dilapidated Chang'an City, life safety is not guaranteed, in her memory, Chang'an City is gray and black, full of dilapidated atmosphere.

But what she sees now is Chang'an city full of vitality, majestically standing on the vast Guanzhong Plain, making her eyes a little moist, as if she saw the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Li Fu couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart. The empress dowager has gone through so many ups and downs and sufferings, but her heart is still so kind and sensitive. I really hope that His Royal Highness will treat her kindly and give her a stable rest of her life.

At this moment, a troop of cavalry came head-on, and the leader of the army, Hou, asked, "But Li Sima and his party?"

Li Fu hastily urged his horse forward, "I'm right!"

"Several ministers from the Political Affairs Hall are already waiting in front of Weiyang Palace, please transfer directly to Weiyang Palace instead of entering the city."

Li Fu nodded, and ordered to the team: "Go directly to Weiyang Palace!"

The cavalry guarded the carriage and drove to Weiyang Palace in the southwest direction from another road in front, and did not enter Chang'an City. After a while, the carriage slowly came to the gate of Weiyang Palace. At this time, Xu Shu, Jiang Wan, Zhang Zhao and other prime ministers The leading officials have been waiting in front of the palace gate for a long time.

When the two maids supported Empress Fu to get off the carriage, everyone stepped forward and knelt down, "Your Majesty is waiting to welcome the Empress Dowager!"

Fu Shou was moved, and hurriedly said: "Ministers, please stand up! There is no need to be polite."

When everyone stood up, Chen Qun stepped forward and said with a smile, "Welcome the Queen Mother to Chang'an."

Fushou knew Chen Qun, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. Chen Qun had also arrived in Han, and she smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Chen Shijun. It is gratifying to meet an old man in another country."

Chen Qun saluted and introduced to Fushou: "Please introduce Rong Weichen to the Queen Mother. This is Xu Xiangguo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, this is Zhang Xiangguo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and this is Jiang Xiangguo, Minister of the Ministry of Households."

Fu Shou saluted with a smile one by one, and she asked again: "I wonder if His Highness the King of Han is here?"

Xu Shu hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han also went to Xuchang, I guess he missed it on the way with the Queen Mother."

Fushou thought that she went to Xiangyang for a day, and she probably missed it at that time. She also felt a little regretful, and the King of Han was not there, what should she do?Fu Shou was silent for a moment, Xu Shu understood Fu Shou's worry, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Han has made arrangements before leaving, please go to the harem first, Princess Han will make arrangements for Queen Mother."

Only then did Fu Shou feel relieved, and she boarded another palace carriage, and the carriage drove towards the harem under the guard of the guards. The carriage entered the Sima Gate, entered the main hall area, and entered the harem area from the Beiguang Gate. Not long after, the carriage stopped slowly, and in front of it was the Phoenix Terrace, where Princess Han Tao Zhan and everyone in the palace were already waiting for her.

Tao Zhan led all the sisters to kneel down and salute, "Dao pays his respects to the Queen Mother!"

Fushou is an extremely smart woman. From the fact that she has lived in Xuchang Palace Anxin for many years, one can see her mentality. She knows who is the master of Weiyang Palace, and she is just a guest living in Weiyang Palace. .

Tao Zhan worshiped her out of etiquette, but she dared not accept Tao Zhan and other concubines' visits. She hurriedly stepped forward to help Tao Zhan, and then helped everyone, and said to everyone sincerely: "It's Fushou who came so abruptly. , will affect everyone's life, I hope everyone will forgive me a lot!"

Tao Zhan smiled slightly, "What does the Queen Mother say, we will be a family in the future, I believe we will get along happily, Queen Mother please!"

Fu Shou held Tao Zhan's hand, and everyone chatted and laughed into the lobby of Phoenix Terrace. They sat down in the lobby. Tao Zhan introduced the sisters to Fu Shou. When Cao Xian was introduced, Fu Shou was a little stunned. She didn't know that Cao Cao's daughter had also become Liu Jing's second concubine, and thinking of Cao Cao's killing of her two children, Fushou couldn't be happier, so she reluctantly nodded to Tao Zhan's face.

Cao Xian felt sad, of course she knew that her father destroyed Fu's family back then, and Empress Fu's two sons were put into a bag and fell to death. These were all sins committed by the father, and they, the children, would have to bear the burden in the end.

During this period, Cao Xian’s life was really difficult. The two armies of Han and Cao fought in the Central Plains, and even her husband went to battle in person. As Cao Cao’s daughter, she was powerless and could only put the pain in her heart. She bowed silently and retreated. He went down, but Sun Shangxiang next to him saw it in his eyes.

At this time, a group of maids served tea to everyone. Fu Shou took a sip of hot tea and smiled at Tao Zhan: "I have heard for a long time that the concubine's mother is beautiful in the world. I saw her today, and she really deserves her reputation. I hope that the concubine will take care of you. Fu is grateful." Endless."

Fu Shou understands the truth very well, first of all she lowered her figure, belittling herself is to flatter the other party, Tao Zhan got the care of her husband before leaving, let her treat Empress Fu well, although Tao Zhan himself is more sympathetic to Fu What happened to the queen, but she was also a little worried, would the arrival of Queen Fu rob her of her position in the palace?Will he form a rivalry with her?

But today's situation made her very satisfied. Empress Fu understood the truth and made it clear that she would not compete with her for the Weiyang Palace. Tao Zhan was relieved and said with a smile: "There are many things to say, but the queen mother must be tired from the journey. I have already arranged for the palace and maids, please go to rest first, I will clean up the queen mother at night, and we will talk slowly later."

Fushou was really a little tired. She didn't ask herself which palace she lived in, and smiled and nodded with everyone, then got up and went out. Tao Zhan sent her all the way to Nuanxin Palace.

Cao Xian returned to her residence, and the arrival of Fuhou today made her already gloomy mood even more painful. She was so sad that she burst into tears when she entered her bedroom, and she cried happily. I feel a little better, and I am no longer as depressed as in the afternoon.

At this time, a maid reported outside the door: "The second lady is here!"

Cao Xian was startled, it was Sun Shangxiang who came, she hurriedly went to the mirror to touch up her makeup to cover the tears on her face, and then came out to greet her, "Why is the second sister here?" Cao Xian forced a smile.

Sun Shangxiang took her hand, looked carefully into her eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't hide it from me, I'm famous for my sharp eyes."

Cao Xian was seen through by her, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I'm just a little uncomfortable, second sister, don't laugh at me."

"How could I laugh at you?"

Sun Shangxiang pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile: "I saw Fuhou's attitude towards you today, and I knew you must be in a bad mood, so I came here to comfort you."

Cao Xian lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Second Sister, for your concern. In fact, I don't hate Fu Hou's indifferent attitude. On the contrary, I feel sorry for her in my heart. After all...after all"

Cao Xian's eyes turned red, and she couldn't continue, Sun Shangxiang sighed in her heart, she knew why Cao Xian was suffering, this younger sister was kind-hearted, and always took the sins of her parents on herself.

"Those things have nothing to do with you. You are no longer the daughter of Duke Cao, but the wife of the King of Han. You need to clarify this relationship."

"I know that too, but I can't deny my father, and I can't pretend that everything has nothing to do with me."

Sun Shangxiang stared at her for a moment, then said with a smile: "Let's go for a walk!

Cao Xian nodded silently, stood up and took Sun Shangxiang's arm and walked out of the bedroom. The two walked slowly along the path beside the Yaochi Lake. The warm wind was blowing, and the night in late spring was particularly warm and comfortable. The fragrance of flowers wafted from a distance, refreshing .

Sun Shangxiang led Cao Xianbing to walk slowly, and the two came to a pavilion by the water. Sun Shangxiang pointed at the pavilion and said with a smile, "Let's go and sit."

The two went into the pavilion and sat down. Sun Shangxiang smiled and said: "I used to face the same mood as you. Seeing that Jiangdong was about to perish, the Han army surrounded Jianye, and my brother wrote to me for help. You know how uncomfortable I was at that time." , how hopeless, that is the inheritance laid down by the blood and sweat of my father and brother! My husband wants to destroy it."

"Then how did you figure it out?" Cao Xian asked in a low voice.

"I happened to meet a young couple from Jiangdong in Chang'an West City. From their mouths, I learned that my brother was aggressive and desperately exploiting the people in Jiangdong. If the people couldn't survive, they called him Sun Bopi and cursed Sun. Destruction, I finally figured it out, even the people of Jiangdong spurned the Sun family, why should I support such a brother who harms the people, the demise of the Jiangdong regime is only good for our Sun family, at least it can preserve the descendant Yanlian."

Cao Xian nodded, "I understand what Second Sister means. In fact, I have also thought about it. The world has been in chaos for decades, and people's minds are settled. Now, my husband shoulders the important task of unifying the world and has the ambition to revive the great man. Even if Cao Jun fails, the world can survive." Unification, isn't that a good thing?"

"If you can think that way, why are you still sad?"

"I just feel that my father has done a lot of harm to others. I don't know. How can I atone for my father?"

Sun Shangxiang patted the back of her hand and said earnestly: "You are a good daughter, your father will be proud of you, but you don't have to blame yourself, your father is not a murderous butcher like Dong Zhuo, let alone the Yellow Turban Army who slaughtered cities and villages Many times, your father's behavior is the result of a power struggle, such as Fuhou, if he doesn't make up his mind, it will be the Cao family's extermination. I believe that God will be fair, but you don't have to blame yourself too much. As I said just now, you are no longer the daughter of Duke Cao, but the wife of the King of Han. If you must be responsible, you should blame yourself for your husband’s actions, not your father. What you are worshiping now is the Liu family’s ancestral hall. Get this point clear, and you will be able to get along with your husband calmly, this is also my experience."

Cao Xian finally realized a little bit, yes!She always regards herself as the daughter of the Cao family, but forgets that she is the wife of the king of Han. The responsibility on her shoulders comes from her husband, not her father.

Cao Xian let out a long sigh of relief, "Thank you, Second Sister, I understand a little bit."

"Just understand, let's go! Come to sleep with me tonight and talk to me."

Cao Xian nodded, and the two got up and walked out of the pavilion.
