Xiao Qiao raised her face slightly and stared at the birds on the branches for a moment.

On the bed behind him, Wei Shao dimly stretched out his hand and touched his body.

Touched empty.

His eyelids moved slightly, he suddenly opened his eyes, and sat up with a whimper.

Fang was pulled by Xiao Qiao to his shoulders and the quilt horns slipped along his chest and piled on the side of his abdominal muscles.

He lifted the quilt and was about to jump out of bed when he suddenly saw Xiao Qiao's back standing beside the small window.

meal.

stopped.

Joe turned his head.

Four eyes facing each other.

"come over."

Wei Shao looked at her and said. The voice was slightly hoarse.

Xiao Qiao closed the window and returned to him.

He shook her hand and tugged slightly.

Joe fell down. Take him into his arms.

"I was happy last night. You were happy too. Isn't it?" Wei Shao asked, looking down at her.

Xiao Qiao leaned on his shoulder and looked up at his pair of still bloodshot eyes, as if examining his own eyes.

During the hesitation, his lips twitched slightly, and Wei Shao suddenly seemed not to listen to her answer.

He lowered his head and sealed her mouth with a kiss.

…

In the middle of the day, the door is open.

Chunniang had already dried and ironed the clothes Wei Shao took off last night and brought them in.

The two got up, simply had a meal, and then left the post house and went back to Xindu.

Wei Shao asked Xiao Qiao to wait for him for a few more days. After passing the envoy of Guo Quan, Marquis of Jibei, he returned to Yuyang with her.

…

Xing Xun was both a minister and was respected by the young emperor Liu Tong as his father, and his status was respected. Not only is the palace like his mansion, the emperor is like a car in and out, and he calls Santai to call Shangshu if he is his retainer, and even now, because he is lazy and goes to the palace, he orders the courtiers to discuss court affairs directly in front of him.

There is a saying among the people of the time that there are two imperial courts in Luoyang today, one is the Qianqiu Longevity Hall in the palace, and the other is the Lotus Terrace of Xiangfu.

The name Lotus Terrace comes from Xingxun's gorgeous mansion built in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang. Guangsha Xuanyu, carved fence jade. In the middle of the lake and pond in the garden, there is a tall building shaped like a lotus flower, with steps made of jade and inlaid with gold threads. It not only stores gold jewelry, but also stores the wealth of the world, as well as beautiful people, just like a harem.

Su Ehuang has been famous since she married Luoyang more than ten years ago.

When Xing Xun was still a prefect outside Luoyang, he heard the name of Mrs. Yulou of Luoyang.

In addition to her beauty, I have also heard of her destiny.

Later, Xingxun brought a heavy army into Luoyang to eradicate dissidents. After the scheduled time, the first thing to do was to meet Su Ehuang at the palace banquet.

At that time she was still Mrs. Zuo Fengyi Gong.

Luckily, she was **** after her. Waiting for secret opportunities.

How could Su Ehuang fail to see what Xing Xun was thinking about him?

She is a smart woman. Especially well aware of the inferiority of men.

In her whole life, she has been unfavorable to men.

The only one who has been planted so far is Wei Shao. This is a later story.

She knew Xing Xun's love for herself.

Fortunately, he was in power. Such a character is also fascinated by herself, and she is naturally proud in her heart.

But she didn't want to let him succeed.

If a man easily gets a woman, he will never take it to heart.

Although Xing Xun was in power, he had just entered Luoyang at that time.

Emperor Su E was a member of the royal family.

The Han Dynasty is declining again, if she refuses to submit, Xing Xun really can't break into Zuo Feng Yigong's mansion and arrest people.

After half a year, Liu Li died. The new widow of Emperor Su E.

Xing Xun sent someone to take her to the Lotus Terrace in secret three days later.

Even then, she still looked down on Xing Xun.

The man she was thinking of was far away in Youzhou.

In order to get that man again, she has been secretly planning for a long time, how can she be so committed to the lotus platform?

Taking advantage of Xing Xun's battle in Sishui, she returned to Zhongshan in the name of keeping filial piety.

It's been two years, and now I'm back, even though the noble ladies in Luoyang are like clouds, Mrs. Yulou's limelight has always been unstoppable.

…

After the feast, Xing Xun favored Su E Huang in the inner room.

After that, Xing Xun was lying on the couch, snoring like thunder.

The interior is magnificent and beautiful, with black hair like clouds.

Su Ehuang looked disgusted, pushed aside Xing Xun's fat body, sat down in front of the mirror, and stared at himself in the mirror.

Half a golden mask, made by skilled craftsmen at a high price. It covers the middle nose and hangs behind the head with a soft strap, which is delicate and tight.

Unless she takes it off herself, she will never fall off in her sleep.

She looked at herself for a moment, and her eyes fell on Xing Xun's back reflected in the mirror. After a moment of ecstasy, she got up and went back to the couch. She screamed and pushed Xing Xun hard.

Xing Xun was awakened from a sound dream, feeling unhappy in his heart, and asked in confusion, "Why are you making a noise, Madam?"

Su Ehuang said in a panic, "I was in my sleep just now, when I saw a golden light suddenly fall from the beam of the house and came straight to the Prime Minister. I said that I would be unfavorable to the Prime Minister, so I cried out, not wanting that golden light to circle over the Prime Minister's head. The circle, turned into a dragon again, waving its tail over the beam of the house, and landed in the eastern suburbs! I was awakened, and this disturbed the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister forgives my sins!"

Xing Xun was originally unhappy, but after listening, he was completely sleepy, opened his eyes and said, "Really?"

Su E Huang said: "In front of the Prime Minister, how dare you talk nonsense?"

Lucky is ecstatic.

Su Ehuang knelt down and said: "The dream just now is really clear. It's like what I saw with my own eyes! I'm in a panic, why didn't the Prime Minister send someone to the eastern suburbs to see what happened?"

Lucky Xu. Send someone immediately. After dawn, people came to report that a thousand-year-old tortoise shell had been dug out in the eastern suburbs, with nine big characters on it: Sun Zaishan, good luck, and king of the world. The tortoise shell has been transported in a treasure box, please see the Prime Minister.

Xing Xun immediately called a group of cronies to gather at the Lotus Terrace. The crowd watched, all surprised. Among them was the master book Feng Yidao: "Sun Zaishan, the luck of the trip, he is inferior, and the name of the prime minister. This is a strange sign of heaven, saying that the prime minister has the order to sit in the world!"

Si Zhi Zangchang also said: "The Han Dynasty is exhausted, the people are struggling, the world is full of grievances, if it is not for the Prime Minister's hard support, they would have fallen apart. Heaven obeys destiny, right on the ninth five!"

The rest of the people joined in.

Although Xing Xun is extremely respected today, even the young emperor Liu Tong respects him as his father. Whenever he goes to the palace, if there are no courtiers in front of him, Xing Xun takes his seat, but the young emperor stands aside, trembling, but he is not as good as himself. Satisfaction, has long been arrogant. Just a lot of scruples before. Today, I have received the omen from the sky, and I have a group of people who are in unison to advocate for the upper position. At the moment, I am moved, and I leave Feng Yizang and other cronies to discuss matters in private, choose a day for myself to be the emperor, and make a big noise. He lifted the butterfly cover on her face with his hand, was blocked, and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister has forgotten? I once told the Prime Minister that I met a fighter last year, and then asked the fate. Fang Shiyun, I have a very precious life, but I can't help it. Lantai blocked the fortune, so I lost my husband and became a widow, and I had to use the gold of the five elements to break my luck, so I covered my face with a butterfly cover. Does the prime minister take my gold butterfly, doesn't it break my fortune?"

Emperor Su E kept a tight cover. Although Xing Xun was also suspicious, he was dubious about her pretext. It was only Su girl who brought a vision, but it was deeply ingrained long ago, and last night, she used the words of a dream to help her with today's affairs. Fortunately, Xun would not forcibly remove her butterfly cover, but felt that she was half-covered. , even more secretive, he laughed at the moment, and said: "Madam is really a wonderful person. After getting Madam, I will know that the woman I used to have peace with is not worth mentioning! If I become emperor in the future, I will definitely welcome Madam into the harem. Live up to the life you were born with!"

Su E Huang said: "Thank you for your love. It's just that I am worried that although the Prime Minister has received auspiciousness from the sky, I am afraid that the princes may not be willing to obey. Especially the northern Wei Shao, how would he be willing to bow his head and become a minister?"

When Xing Xun heard the word Wei Shao, he was furious: "Little Wei Shao, last year's Zhengdan Day congratulations, all the lords came, but he did not come! This year, he drove Feng Zhao to occupy Liangzhou, so arrogant, really treat me like me What can't he do? When I finish my important affairs, I will personally raise troops and attack Youzhou!"

Su Ehuang said: "The prime minister is indeed masculine! Emperor E admired it, so he sat and waited for the prime minister to unify Haiyu and add to all directions! Wei Shao was very ambitious and married Yanzhou Qiao's daughter, so he borrowed Yanzhou to make it easier for him to go south to conspiracy in the future. Wei Shao, you should attack Yanzhou together, so that you can kill two birds with one stone and cut off the way back!"

Xing Xun glanced at her: "I heard that Madam and Wei Shao had an old friendship in the early years, why do you hate it so much now?"

Su E Huang said: "I only knew each other when I was a child, and I have seen it a few times, so why did you say it? He is an enemy of the Prime Minister, and he is also my enemy."

Xing Xun said: "Okay! When I am in the position and the ninety-five, I will definitely support you!"

Su Ehuang smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Xing Xun laughed, suddenly remembered, and said: "Ding Qu, Yuan Zhe Ganer, switched to my account last year, and once said to me, Wei Shao's wife, has a rare beauty, and all men in the world will lose their souls when they see it. It is said that Chen Xiang's loss was combined with the state, and the cause of his defeat was also that his son took Wei Shao's wife, led Wei Shao to attack Shiyi, and then took back Qiao's daughter. Wei Shao's child, Yan Fu is not shallow. You know him, have you met Qiao's daughter? Who is more beautiful than you?"

Su E Huang smiled and said: "How can I compare the beauty with Wei Shao's wife? As for how beautiful Qiao Nuo is, the Prime Minister sees it in person, which is better than thousands of words."

Xing Xun was in a trance, and his heart was getting itchy. I wish I could immediately grab that Qiao girl and hide it in the lotus altar.

In order to vent his hatred, Wei Shao tasted the humiliation of being stolen from his wife, and he had to see with his own eyes how beautiful Qiao Nv was, so that Chen Xiang could lose the Shiyi that he had held for decades, and then he was completely defeated, giving away his great foundation to others. .

…

Wei Shao took Xiao Qiao back to Xindu that evening.

Gongsun Yang was waiting for him in the Xin Palace.

Although there was not much abnormality on the face, it was obvious that something had happened.

Wei Shao sent Xiao Qiao back to Sheyang Residence first. Then he went to the study and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

What awaited him was news that he had never thought of before.

Gongsun Yang said: "During the day, the meteors will be reported to the horse, and the king of Langya, Liu Yan, will unite with the East China Sea and send troops to Xuzhou. Xue'an hastily retreated in order to protect the territory..."

Wei Shao's thoughts were still a bit unrecovered at first.

The king of Langya Liu Yan?

He finally recovered. Suddenly he looked at Gongsun Yang.

Gongsun Yang's tone became more cautious: "According to the spies, Liu Yan then went to Lingbi in person, suspecting that he intended to appease Bi She."
