Xie Xiang

The four palace servants stood in front of Liu Zao fearfully, not daring to meet her eyes.

Liu Zao looked at them, and said: "There is nothing wrong here, you... and step back."

When the palace people heard the words, as if they had been pardoned, they quickly saluted and quickly left the palace. The lady who walked last did not forget to close the gate of the palace, as if she was in awe of the emperor and grandson.

Liu Zao knew that they were not afraid of her, but that they were afraid of the fatal disaster they would bring when getting along with her.

The door was closed, and the spacious palace room suddenly became narrow.

Liu Zao didn't have high requirements for the residence, and she didn't touch the furnishings in the room, even though they were extremely bright, they were worth a lot of money at first sight.When she saw a couch in the room, she sat on it and sat on it for a while.After that, I felt a little tired again, so I got up and went to the inner hall.

There is a bed in the inner hall. The bedding on the bed is all new, and it must have been prepared not long ago.

Liu Zao removed his socks, and when he touched the belt, he hesitated for a moment, and then chose to sleep with his clothes on.

She had just recovered from a serious illness, and her body was still weak. When she went to the palace at home, she saw many people again, her spirit was always tense, and she was already tired.She wanted to get a good night's sleep, recharge her energy, and deal with what was coming tomorrow.

No, she lay down, her body was very tired, and she wanted to have a good sleep, but her thoughts kept fluctuating, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Liu Zao has never forced himself.She couldn't fall asleep, and she didn't force it. She lay flat on the bed and relaxed her body as much as possible, so that she could rest.The body relaxed, but the various pictures that I saw today kept appearing in my mind.

Liu Zao likes to think, especially when she is quiet, she always thinks deeply.

Liu Zao was very puzzled by the diametrically opposite attitude of the Zhonghuangmen and the female officials, so she started from here to see if she could deduce the reason for entering the palace this time.

Liu Zao doesn't know much about the factions and disputes in the palace, but she knows that people in the Queen Mother's palace should act according to the Queen Mother's wishes, and will not make their own decisions.The attitude of Zhonghuangmen and the female officials is so different.

She thought of Zhonghuangmen's ugly face after seeing the female officer's salute, and her doubts became more and more serious.The reason why Zhonghuangmen looked ugly was because he was dissatisfied with the female officer treating her so respectfully, or did he realize that he had done something wrong?

Liu Zao thought for a moment and crossed out the former possibility.Zhonghuangmen greeted her outside the gate of the courtyard, while the female officer was outside the queen dowager's bedchamber. It can be seen that the female officer is more trusted by the queen mother. He should not be dissatisfied with someone who is more useful than him, at least he will not show his dissatisfaction on his face.

So, did he realize that he had done something wrong?

Liu Zao didn't dare to make a decision.

Grandmother said that the palace is dangerous and asked her to protect herself.Before she entered the palace for one night, she had already seen all kinds of confusing and suspicious things.

Liu Zao didn't like it here, she wanted to go back to her grandmother.Although the servant girl who served her was a bit noisy, she had a good heart. Although her grandmother was strict, her love for her was genuine.

Liu Zao's thoughts just wandered around like this, and she thought of Xie Yi who brought her into the palace again.Thinking of Xie Yi, Liu Zao sat up suddenly.

What is abnormal today is not only the completely different attitudes of the Zhonghuangmen and the female officials, but also Xie Xiang!

In front of the courtyard gate, Xie Xiang didn't have to help her out of the car himself, but he did so in front of Zhonghuangmen.Xie Xiang's move is for Zhonghuangmen to see.Behind the Zhonghuang Gate is the Empress Dowager, and she actually made it for the Empress Dowager to see.

The doubts were solved at once.

Zhonghuangmen and the female officials all acted according to the Queen Mother's order.But Xie Xiang is not.If Prime Minister Xie hadn't helped her get out of the car, and hadn't shown goodwill, when they saw the female officer, the female officer must have treated her with the same attitude as the Zhonghuangmen, and would never have treated her like that.

Zhonghuangmen's face was ugly because he thought that the Queen Mother treated her courteously and that she was about to gain power, so she would keep his rudeness in mind, and might take revenge on him.

If you want to know whether this set of inferences is true, you only need to look at Zhong Huangmen's attitude. If he is as respectful as the female officer, her inference is right.If not, it means that she was wrong, and there are other reasons for this matter.

But Liu Zao had a hunch that she was right.Her instincts are always right.

The mystery seemed to be solved, but Liu Zao didn't feel relaxed, because there was an even bigger mystery.

Why did Xiang Xie want to be friendly with her in front of Zhonghuangmen.If she really wanted to show kindness to her, she could talk to her on the way into the palace.Why did the queen mother change her attitude because of Xie Xiang's attitude towards her.What's more, what's on her is worth their trouble.

She is just a lost emperor's grandson, who has already faded out of the eyes of the world. If they don't accept her into the palace, Liu Zao believes that she will never enter the palace or court again.

Unraveling a mystery is a bigger mystery. After the bigger mystery is solved, will the truth be revealed?Liu Zao is unknown.

Right now, the most important thing is to figure out why she entered the palace.

Liu Zao lay back on the bed again.

A strong wind suddenly blew outside the window, and after a while, the torrential rain came, crackling and falling, with the potential to destroy the world.Liu Zao lay motionless, listening to the sound of the rain.She sleeps very well, and she often looks like she is lying down, and she is still looking like she is when she wakes up.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep in the sound of rain.

When I woke up the next day, the courtyard was wet and the sky was cloudy.

Liu Zao slept all night in his clothes, and his clothes were crumpled.She was a little at a loss, she was in a hurry when she entered the palace, and she didn't bring a change of clothes.Disheveled clothing is obviously very rude.

Fortunately, before she could figure out what to do, a timid maid came in with new clothes.

She walked up to Liu Zao and knelt down, held the clothes in both hands, raised them high above her head, lowered her body, and lowered her head, and said, "This is the new clothes prepared for the emperor's grandson, please." Sun replaced."

There are servants and maidservants in Liu Zao's family, and there is a distinction between superiors and inferiors, but there is no such big rule.She pursed her lips, took the shirt, and said, "Thank you."

Gong'e immediately kowtowed like a frightened sparrow, "I don't dare."

Then he backed away in a panic.

Liu Zao looked down at the new clothes in his hands, got up and looked around, saw a screen, went behind the screen, and put on the new clothes.

Food has been prepared in the front hall.

Most of the people in the Han Dynasty eat twice a day.One meal in the morning and one meal in the evening. Waking up in the morning is called morning food, and feeding in the evening.But two meals a day often lead to hunger, so nobles and wealthy families will add another meal at noon, which is called daytime food.

Liu Zao entered the palace yesterday, there was no food prepared for her in the palace, and she herself forgot, when she smelled the aroma of millet, she just realized that her stomach was empty, she was very hungry, and she would be ready with a bowl of millet porridge Some.

After the morning meal, Liu Zao walked around the hall and sat down on the couch again.

Whether she was sitting or standing, there was always an eunuch standing in the palace, Liu Zao recognized that this was one of the four palace servants from yesterday.She thought for a while, got up and left the palace gate.The eunuch didn't stop her, but followed her out of the palace together.

The gravel in the courtyard is gradually drying up, the grass is still wet, the sky is gradually gathering dark clouds, and it doesn't know when it will rain.Such a situation is not pleasant.

Liu Zao strolled in the court, paying attention to the eunuch behind him from time to time. The eunuch looked nervous and stared at her firmly.Liu Zao just pretended that he couldn't see it, and walked in the court at will.

The palace is not big, so the vestibule is naturally not big, but in a short while, the entire courtyard has been walked twice.Liu Zao stood under a holly tree for a while, then walked towards the courtyard gate.

The eunuch who was following her hurriedly rushed up, knelt down in front of the courtyard gate, and blocked Liu Zao's way.

Liu Zao's heart sank.

"The Empress Dowager orders that the emperor's grandson is not allowed to leave this palace." The eunuch knelt down on the ground and said solemnly.

She is imprisoned.

The two thin courtyard gates suddenly became distant and insurmountable.Liu Zao stood where he was, wondering if he should insist on opening the door.The eunuch knelt motionless, standing in front of Liu Zao like a wall.

Liu Zao frowned and said, "Back off."

The eunuch still knelt down, did not speak, and only expressed his position with actions.

The other three palace servants also appeared in the courtyard at some point, looking at this side neither far nor near, as if they were ready to come forward to dissuade the emperor and grandson at any time.

It seems she can't get out.Liu Zao's heart was empty, and he was a little flustered.She retreated into the room and knelt on the couch.

For the next afternoon, she didn't go out again, just sat on the couch, staring at the stone road in the courtyard in a daze.It rained in the afternoon, and the stone slabs that had been dried with great difficulty became wet again, and water accumulated in several slightly concave stone holes.

The trees on both sides were drenched by the rain, and they looked listless and not very energetic.

Liu Zao looked at every plant, tree, stone, and leaf in the courtyard. The courtyard was still the same courtyard, and the courtyard door was still tightly closed.She can't get out.

The four palace servants were very responsible, except that they dared not talk to her, they cared about everything and did not neglect Liu Zao.It's just that Liu Zao didn't care how they treated her.

Two days later, she was the only one in the courtyard.

The Prime Minister Xie who sent her to the palace did not show up, the queen mother who summoned her never showed up, the Zhonghuangmen who treated her perfunctorily never came, and the extremely respectful female official never came again.She seemed to be forgotten in this palace, and the courtyard door was firmly locked for her, and she was not allowed to go out.

A maid of honor offered food carefully, and two eunuchs lit the copper lamps in the room.Liu Zao sat on the couch and watched their every move.Gong'e finished feeding, bowed to her, and hurriedly retreated, and the two eunuchs did the same.They were all educated courtiers, and their manners were neither rough nor flustered, as if everything was in order.But they never dared to make eye contact with her, nor did they dare to stay in the same room with her for a moment.

Liu Zao slowly breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the meal on the food table. She had waited long enough, and she couldn't wait like this forever.

After finishing a bowl of millet rice, Liu Zao didn't get up as usual, but sat down beside the food table.

After about half an hour, a maid came into the palace.She came to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and seeing Liu Zao was still by the food table, showing a surprised expression, she hurriedly lowered her head, stepped forward, saluted, then bent over, intending to move the food table away.

Liu Zao raised his hand and pressed it on the food table.Gong'e's hands trembled, she raised her head timidly, and looked at her.Liu Zao tried his best to look kind, smiled, and asked, "What's your name?"

The author has something to say:

Overhead, I don’t know that the history of the Western Han Dynasty does not affect reading at all, and the future trend will not follow the history.

There is also the issue of the main attack and the main subject. In fact, I have never been able to figure out how to judge this, so I will take the first situation as the standard.

The first time was under attack.
