That sword and that person are just like Gao Zhu from ten years ago.

They are similar in age and share the same interests, as if it was a coincidence created by heaven, and even the timing of their appearance is almost the same as ten years ago.

"Is he here for revenge? Ten years ago, I didn't choose my brother, but chose..." Empress Gao's washed-out face could easily be filled with shock, but she was impressed by a Above the fledgling young general—she suddenly became sweaty, her brows were tightly knitted, and her expression was distorted into a look of hatred and resentment, but she tried her best to hide it, so that the actual change was only a few more lines on her forehead It's just wrinkles.

There were many people serving the queen. They were busy pouring tea and water for the queen, wiping sweat and shaking fans. Only a feminine man saw through the queen's true thoughts. Afterwards, what do you think? The old slave will definitely listen to it."

Empress Gao's real name is Zhaojun, she is siblings with Gao Zhu and Gao Xijun, and her second son, Gao Ang, is a concubine's concubine son. Such a family background makes her particularly value the difference in name and status.

"Since he is the son of a locust, why did the emperor grant him a title?"

This kind of noble title has always been inherited only by blood, and the sudden addition of a noble from a commoner background in the court will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the local township clan in Jinyang.

The man smiled and said: "Returning to my mother, in my humble opinion, this is a clever plan used by the emperor to frighten the local tyrants. General Baifeng came from Beizhen, raised the righteous army, raised the banner of righteousness, and made great achievements in battle. Isn't it just like the emperor? It was the same when they fought in all directions? The elders in Jinyang have done nothing but occupy the fields and meritorious deeds of their ancestors. The purpose of the emperor to drive away tigers and wolves this time is to let General Baifeng help beat the group of wine bags and rice bags , this old slave thinks that this is a strategy for both ends, no matter what the result is, it is better to have the Emperor Longwei."

"Hmm..." Empress Gao stood up from the Hu bed, and the maid who was familiar with her work and rest immediately understood that it was time to go to the courtyard to escape the heat.

Although the Willow Garden belongs to the royal garden, its scale is not as grand as imagined. At first glance, it is not even as magnificent as the private garden of the private tenants. It can be seen that the queen is not a fatuous and extravagant person.

Although the garden is small, it has all internal organs.

Winding along the road, all the way to the end, there is a lotus pond in the middle, weeping willows on the bank, and there is a dark passage at the end, which leads directly to the ground three feet. There is an ice cellar, and there are frozen cheese and frozen fruits to enjoy at any time.Most of the people who are invited here are the wives of high-ranking officials who are favored, famous poets, musicians, and servants who are responsible for serving the distinguished guests.

When all the people came to visit, most of them brought expensive gifts, and they even did not hesitate to compare with each other, all wanting to compete in front of the queen.

Someone presented a fashionable dress, someone presented sweet tea from Sichuan, someone presented it with famous calligraphy and painting, and some presented it with jewelry and sculptures... For a moment, in this small courtyard, you can see Rare delicacies from all over the world.

Among them, only one person brought nothing, and at the same time, she was also worried about it, and she never said a word.

"Mei Xianggong, who is this lady?" The sharp-eyed Empress Gao quickly caught such a strange No. [-] person.

Mei Lin, who had been serving the queen all this time, was understanding, raised her voice deliberately, and said: "Go back to the empress, this lady is Murong Yan, the wife of General Baifeng, who lives in the Taiping Dao Temple in the palace. To raise the baby with peace of mind, this old slave respects his mother's order, and specially invited Mrs. Bai to be a guest."

Empress Gao saw that Murong Yan's belly was slightly bulging, she was estimated to be at least three months pregnant, a kind smile naturally appeared on the corner of her mouth, but in the eyes of others, it was disrespectful.

"What is the origin of this woman that she can be seated without a gift?" The other wives all looked at Murong Yan with such a mood, and the jealousy and hatred were beyond words.

"I...I..." Murong Yan was in extreme embarrassment for a moment, she stood up falteringly and bowed to the Queen, "I have lived in a Taoist temple for a long time, so I didn't know that this trip was so grand, so I couldn't prepare a small gift to show my respect. "

Empress Gao greeted her with a smile, she sat down beside her with a palm, and said with concern: "This is the first time Mrs. Bai has come here. According to common sense, it should be this palace who gave you a gift. Don't worry about it."

"Thank you, empress, for your kindness." Murong Yan knew in her heart that something was wrong, but now she was alone and could only play by ear, if she kept pretending to be ignorant and could get away with it, then she would rather become a fool from now on.

She held up the wine glass tremblingly, wanting to offer a toast as an apology, but as soon as the wine drank, Empress Gao grabbed the wine glass and quickly scolded: "Madam Bai, you are pregnant, how can you touch wine?"

"The concubine is stupid!" Murong Yan nodded and said, "In the Taoist temple, Taoist Taiping takes care of everything, and the concubine only cares about self-cultivation, I almost forgot about it."

Empress Gao sighed and touched Murong Yan's hand, and said, "Oh, how can you solve General Baifeng's problems like this? As wives, we don't ask for no merit, but no fault. If we can't even protect our descendants That's right, how will we face our husband in the future."

"The empress taught me a lesson." Murong Yan replied, and the eunuch Mei Lin whispered to the empress for a while.

Empress Gao suddenly talked about Bai Feng, and said: "General Bai Feng, such a young and promising man, many people in the palace want to get acquainted, do you think this is true?"

All the wives are jealous of Murong Yan overtly and secretly, so why would they want to know Bai Feng, not to mention that according to the latest rumors, Bai Feng is still a commoner, so she can't help but feel even more disgusted, but in front of the queen, how dare she be harsh?
"A sister in my family admired General Baifeng for a long time, but she didn't know that he had a wife, which is really enviable."

"If General Baifeng is willing to tell all of us his story in Beizhen, next time we go out to brag, there will be a new topic!"

"Oh, it depends on Madam Bai's intentions... By the way, General Baifeng is a new official, and he must be busy with work. Have Madam Bai met General Baifeng these days?"

In the face of flattery, Murong Yan is often speechless.

"Madam Bai, I have something to ask General Baifeng." Empress Gao said to Murong Yan: "In three days, the palace will hold a 'imperial martial arts contest', and I hope that General Baifeng can organize this Make sure that the imperial city is safe and sound during the contest."

"Contest in front of the imperial court?" Murong Yan's face turned pale. She may have prepared for it long ago, but she never thought of something like this: "General, he is humble, how can he take on this important task?"

Empress Gao said: "As long as you say it, he will definitely agree."

The implication is that it cannot be refused.

"Every year, the emperor attaches great importance to the matter of the 'imperial martial arts competition' and entrusts General Baifeng to do it. This is a decision made by the general who trusts him very much." Mei Lin echoed, and Murong Yan nodded with tears in her eyes.

The other wives expressed congratulations one after another, all kinds of rhetoric and politeness took turns, but Murongyan only felt that the danger was imminent, and the face that accompanied her smile became more and more stiff, until she accidentally moved her tires and left with an excuse.
