After Xiao Ji left, the rainy weather that had been raining for half a month began to clear up.

Because he took a long nap in the afternoon, Chang Ge was not sleepy at night, so he asked the palace maid to hold a lamp and dig out the old things from these years and look through them one by one.

She had owned very few things since she was a child. A small wooden box was full of them. It contained more things that Xiao Ji and Qiu Moyan had given her in the past two years. She couldn't throw them away, so she put them all in the box. .

When I received the gift, I felt somewhat forced and afraid, but looking back now, I feel full of sadness and nostalgia.

There are carved wooden horses, calligraphy and painting sachets and some small items. They are not valuable, but they are very personal.

"What do you do with these old things, Your Highness? You'll have to worry about it later. Why don't you fetch the key to the warehouse? The regent is inside..." The palace man stopped suddenly after the next words, remembering that Chang Ge didn't like to mention Xiao Ji.

There were all kinds of rare treasures given by Xiao Ji in the warehouse. She moved those treasures out in the next two or three years and placed them in a room. However, now that she has just been in charge of the country, the Chaohua Palace is still very simple and elegant.

Changge looked at her. The faces of the palace people were a little blurry, but she didn't care. Maybe it was because of the dream. These palace people were either from Qiu Moyan or Xiao Ji. They had been imprisoned in the cold palace for too long. She He had long missed the opportunity to cultivate his confidants, and the only confidants he could count were the secret guard battalions around him.

These palace servants were very dedicated in their service, and she did not find any reason to expel them. If one was expelled, there would be another spy, so she simply did not bother.

"No need." She said calmly, put all the old things back into the box, and let the palace people go down.

It's just to reminisce about my past life, not to take stock of my little treasury.The treasury of the entire Dasheng Dynasty was empty, and the people were in dire straits. The contents of the treasury would be used to fill the holes in the treasury in the future.

It's just that the Qiu family has been passed down to this day, and there are many folk legends about the time when Emperor Gaozu conquered the world. Didn't they leave behind some private treasures?Gaozu was the one who sought immortality and cultivated the Taoist Forbidden Technique. How could he not leave himself a backup plan?

Changge meditated for a few seconds, took pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Qiu Moyan who was far away in the hot spring palace. There were only a few words in the letter: "When will you return to court? Did His Majesty Gaozu ever leave some gold and silver treasures?" Things?"

Changge summoned the secret guard and asked him to send the secret message to the hot spring palace. The secret guard was shocked.

This was probably the first letter Changge wrote to the old emperor after he ascended the throne. Letters were sent to the Hot Spring Palace every month, and some gifts were given during holidays, but Her Majesty the Emperor Ji had never read it.

"Yes, Your Highness."

She nodded. Qiu Moyan knew the internal affairs of the palace best. He had not been pretending to be weak and sick every day in these years, but he was kind and virtuous and did not do anything serious.

After the secret guard sent away the secret message, she put down her pen and looked at the dim inner hall. She went to the box beside the bed and took out two luminous pearls and placed them under her feet. The light in the room suddenly softened a bit.

She looked out the window at the dark sky. In this life, she wanted to change her path, force Qiu Moyan to return to the court, and let Xiao Ji follow the path of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and governance of the world that his fathers had followed.

Although it is difficult, she must try. This is her only chance.

After the secret letter was sent, there was a reply the next night, and it was Long Shisan.The fact that he entered the palace in person showed that Qiu Moyan attached great importance to this matter.

"Master said that only a big event like His Highness's wedding would give him an excuse to return to court." Long Shisan stood across the screen without kneeling, his voice was cold. Through the screen, Chang Ge couldn't see clearly the expression on his face. From his expression, I could only feel the coldness between his eyebrows.

She thought of this secret guard who was very unfriendly to her.He must be Qiu Moyan's confidant. He knows what Qiu Moyan has done for her and has some opinions on her.

She lowered her eyes, carelessly flicking the incense in the incense burner with her golden book in her hand, and said lightly: "Qiu Moyan means to let me choose a son-in-law?"

The other party seemed to be very displeased with her calling Qiu Moyan by his first name, and her voice became colder and colder: "I dare not guess what the master is thinking. As for the other thing that His Highness said, the master said that he will pay attention to it."

That's it.Changge's movement of holding the incense was paused. Qiu Moyan only spoke a few words. He said he would pay attention to it, which meant that the treasure was indeed real and he knew its whereabouts.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Gaozu actually left behind a treasure for his comeback. This was probably a secret passed down by the royal family orally.

No wonder he dared to meditate, retreated to the hot spring palace, and raised troops outside. It turned out that he held in his hands the treasure that Emperor Gaozu wanted to make a comeback.

"Tell Qiu Moyan to prepare to return to the court by the end of the year at the latest." Changge put down the golden book in his hand and said word by word, "Go ahead."

In just a moment, she had made a decision.

Long Shisan stopped talking and lowered his voice: "When you choose your son-in-law, do you want to choose the regent?"

No one in the whole court knew about the relationship between Xiao Ji and her. Her Highness Five Emperor Ji was very beautiful and could restrain the old emperor and the young emperor. Even if Xiao Ji didn't like her, he would definitely not let her get married easily and break away from him. Take control.

What's more, according to the information they have, the regent fell in love with His Highness Chang Ge, otherwise she would have been a corpse.

"This is not something you should interfere with. Tell Qiu Moyan, he knows what I mean."

Changge's voice was slightly cold.

The other party quickly disappeared into the night. The night wind blew away the remaining coldness, and the fragrance in the palace was a little stronger. She opened the window and diffused the fragrance, but she no longer felt sleepy.

If Qiu Moyan returns to the court, she must suppress Xiao Ji's arrogance, and the only one who can do this is to marry Xiao Ji. According to the ancestral precepts of the Dasheng Dynasty, those who admire the emperor's concubine are not allowed to hold important positions in the court. .

If Xiao Ji marries her, he will give up his power as regent. At this time, Qiu Moyan returns to the court and can take over the court.

The question is, how to trick Xiao Ji into marrying her.

Chang Ge lowered his eyes and sat for a long time, with mixed emotions. He thought of Mu Qingyi who was far away in Qingshan and had not yet met him. He also thought of the civil strife in Dasheng Dynasty three years later, the tragic starvation and death in the fields and the many years to come. Imperial conquests.

We must never go back to the old path.

She suddenly realized the horror of Taoist Forbidden Technique, exchanging lives for lives, and it requires deep love and loyalty between each other to succeed, but she can no longer choose the destined person in this life, she can no longer choose him.

Human emotions are as fragile as paper and cannot withstand the test. After this life, there should be a rift between her and Fu Huaijin.

She likes him, but she doesn't like him that much. In the Dasheng Dynasty, she could sacrifice him at any time in front of her family and country.After all, she is the ruthless one.

If the Taoist Forbidden Technique failed, she would not be able to survive this calamity, and she could only blame herself and no one else.

Chang Ge sighed softly, blew out the bright candles in the hall, and went to bed under the soft light of the night pearl. While sleeping in a daze at night, he heard a noise outside.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Feizhang squatting pitifully in front of her bed, with a group of palace attendants behind him.

"Sister, sister, I'm afraid." The little guy wrapped a bag of tears and timidly pulled her sleeves with his little hands.

When I first saw him, I felt like I was from another world.

"what happened?"

She stood up and touched the little guy's head, and then saw him rushing into her arms like a little cannonball.

The little guy cried loudly: "I dreamed about my sister. I dreamed that my sister didn't want me anymore... My sister left, and my master forced me to practice martial arts every day, and also forced me to eat the dishes I hate most..."

Changge thought it was some big deal, and laughed angrily when he heard this.

She lifted the quilt, carried the little guy in bright yellow pajamas to the bed, and said softly: "Dreams are backwards."

Xiao Feizhang's tears suddenly turned into laughter and he wiped away his tears: "Then Sister will definitely live a long life, right?"

She was stunned when she heard this. It turned out that she had dreamed that she was dead. No wonder she was so frightened. In the middle of the night, she ran from his dormitory to Chaohua Palace in her pajamas, which made people fall over.

A young man's dream is like a light being turned on.

"Please retreat, His Majesty will rest here today." She dismissed the palace people, leaving only the maids who were keeping watch.

Feizhang was a little surprised: "Sister, are you keeping me here?"

In the past, Sister A said that he was already a young adult and could not stay in Chaohua Palace, but he wanted to stay with Sister A.

Changge nodded: "It's cold at night, and it comes and goes. It's easy to catch cold. Today is an exception."

The little guy cheered, huddled into the fragrant quilt like a little loach, blinked his big black eyes, and said in a low voice: "Feizhang will be obedient, won't grind his teeth, and won't kick the quilt."

A kind of innocent and cute.

Changge laughed a little, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for him to do this.If he had been born into an ordinary family, he would have been the most naughty yet adorable young master, but he was born into the imperial palace.

"Go to sleep."

She closed her eyes and felt a slight tug on her sleeve.

The little guy only showed a small head, and looked at her with big black eyes without blinking, and said quietly: "Sister, the master has been in a bad mood these past two days. The homework assignments are very heavy, and my fingers are sore from writing. "

As he spoke, he stretched out two little fingers in a desperate manner.

Ghostly ghostly.

Changge laughed and took back what he just said. Feizhang was like this, which was good.

"The Taifu has to deal with a lot of things every day. It's natural to be in a bad mood. Don't imitate Feizhang, or he will become unlovable."

"Ah, then I must be cute, otherwise my sister won't like me."

"Sister, elder sister..."

"sleep……"

"Sister, I can't sleep..."

Changge ignored the excited little guy. After a while, she saw him quietly clenching her little finger and falling asleep sweetly, grinding his teeth in his sleep.

She opened her eyes, looked at the sleeping young man, and reached out to touch his little head.

I haven’t seen him for several lifetimes, and hundreds of years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Because Feizhang made such a fuss at night, Chang Ge got up late the next day.

It was quiet in the Chaohua Palace. No one called her to get up and freshen up, and no one urged her to go to the morning court. It had been three days since she woke up.

She looked at the bed. She didn't know when the little guy had gotten up. Maybe he had gone to the morning ceremony.

She opened the curtain and smelled the aroma of food.

"Sister, sister, you're finally up. Get up and have breakfast." Xiao Feizhang ran into the inner hall, his big black eyes full of joy, but his expression was a bit bitter, and he kept looking around. In the outer room.

Chang Ge looked around and saw Xiao Ji's slender figure appearing. He was wearing a vermilion court uniform, with dark eyes, and he was full of majesty. He stood at the screen, looking at her from a distance not too far or too close, in the inner hall. The light is a bit darker.

"Didn't you go to morning pilgrimage?"

Xiao Ji didn't go either?

"I'm back now. The master said that today's lessons will be moved to the afternoon, so I can have breakfast with my sister." Xiao Feizhang chattered like a little sparrow, coming over to shake her arm, wanting to talk to her all the time.

Maybe it was the nightmare last night that frightened him. The child was fine on the surface, but very uneasy on the inside.

"Okay." Without looking at Xiao Ji, she got up to wash up and have breakfast.

"Did His Majesty stay at your place last night?" Xiao Ji looked at the six or seven-year-old little one and felt sour in his heart. He couldn't even stay overnight now. This little thing actually came to Changge under the pretext of having nightmares. After a miserable sale, he still sleeps on Changge's bed, covers him with Changge's quilt, and sleeps with his woman, even if they are siblings!

"Well, I won't do it next time." She blocked what Xiao Ji wanted to say next.

"Sister, eat some vegetables." Xiao Feizhang looked at the deflated Taifu and almost burst into laughter. He diligently picked up the vegetables for his sister and put all the vegetables he didn't like into Changge's bowl. .

In this way, the dream will not come true, the master will not force him to eat food he does not like, and the elder sister will not leave him.

Chang Ge looked at the vegetables piled up in the bowl, and then at the two people, one big and one small, who were picking up the vegetables for her, and she was speechless.

"You have lost some weight recently. Eat more and your health will be better." Xiao Jifeng's eyes were heavy and his voice was hoarse.She has been very abnormal these days. She has been lazy for three days and has not interfered with the government affairs. She also spends most of her time reading and sleeping in the dormitory and getting up late.

The old ministers who supported her now suspected that he had placed her under house arrest and had launched an attack in the early morning, making a big fuss, but he didn't take it seriously, and was more worried about Chang Ge's abnormality.

"Sister, eat more." The little guy was like a repeater, smiling cheerfully. Oh well, he can stay with sister this morning without having to look at the master's face.

Changge nodded, ate, and thought about how to talk to Xiao Ji, but before she could speak, Xiao Ji couldn't help it.

"The Chunwei Examination will be held soon. You will preside over it this time."

The Spring Examination is an extremely important event of the year. During this Spring Examination, ministers from the old and new factions were pinched to death, but he wanted to preside over it.She had not been involved in government affairs these days, and he was inexplicably flustered. He wished he could give her some of his power, and he didn't want to see her lying sick in the Chaohua Palace, unable to leave the house.

"No." Changge flatly refused, "Last year, those students wrote poems and jokes to denounce me for controlling government affairs and causing harm to the country and the people. If I were to be the examiner, I'm afraid they would die in Gongyuan with grief and anger. The people at the helm will be upset when they see it, so it’s better not to go.”

Xiao Ji was stunned when he heard this. This is the spring festival that happens once every three years. Students from all over the world gather in the capital. It is the best time for her to recruit talents and place people in the court. The ministers from the two factions attacked each other for this examiner and almost got beaten. Blood flow, but she doesn't want it?

"What's wrong with you now?" Xiao Ji frowned. She had always been smart and knew that only those with power had the right to speak. All she had ever done was to seize power from him. Why didn't she want the fat job offered to her now?

Changge raised his eyes to look at him and said: "I'm just a little tired. From now on, the imperial master will make the final decision on the affairs of the government. I am a woman with a life like duckweed, so I should think about my marriage."

In this life, she tests the world by not competing.

Xiao Ji's face turned pale when he heard this.
