Even if this master has not been close to Zhang Qiaoer for a long time, he must at least exercise some restraint. Even though he knew that Liu Rui and himself were right next door, he didn't know how to control himself. Even if you take the person back to the palace, does it have to be here? This visit itself is to ease the conflicts that caused before. How can we alleviate it now? It would be nice if it didn't add fuel to the fire. If this continues, even if Zhang Qiaoer's heart knot is opened, what will happen to Liu Rui's heart knot? Wouldn’t it be true that the relationship with Zhang Qiaoer will become more and more tense in the future?
In this matter, Cai really wronged Huang Qiong. He really didn't know that Liu Rui was next door before. Zhang Qiaoer and Mrs. Cui naturally knew, but they didn't have time to tell them. Originally, Liu Rui had been in his house after that incident and would not have come back easily. But after what happened last time, she was worried that Liu Rui would be alone in that small mansion. The son-in-law kept saying he was filial, but he refused to come back. Nowadays, under certain pressure, some people who are finally more honest are determined to act like monsters.
Zhang Qiaoer was really worried and forced Liu Rui to move back at the risk of his own life. Moreover, Zhang Qiaoer, who was worried that Liu Rui would not be able to think about it, placed Liu Rui's bedroom next to his. Although the relationship between the two people is now so rigid that it is almost impossible to ease it. But as a relative of Liu Rui, Zhang Qiaoer still tried her best to do everything she could, regardless of whether Liu Rui appreciated it or not. Although Zhang Qiaoer also knew that the relationship between the two people would never be the same again, she still wanted to do everything she could to make up for it.
Unexpectedly, Huang Qiong came to visit forcibly. In the end, the two people, one heartbroken and the other distressed, were unable to restrain themselves. When Liu Rui came in, the two people who were obsessed with it ignored him. However, this time Huang Qiong did not touch Liu Rui. Even the Cui family, the Cai family, and the Wu family were all involved in the end. But Liu Rui never left. She refused to leave, so she just stood and watched the battle. But even though Huang Qiong didn't enjoy herself to the fullest this time, she didn't touch Liu Rui in the end.
Letting go of the exhausted Zhang Qiaoer again, Huang Qiong looked up at Liu Rui, who was looking at him indifferently, not knowing what he was thinking, but just smiled. He really couldn't figure out what was going on in this girl's mind. Huang Qiong asked Cai to take her out before. But she insisted not to go out and just kept watching the battle. His expression looked very calm, as if he hadn't seen anything. But after Huang Qiong didn't do what he did the previous time, even if he didn't enjoy himself, and he didn't touch her, his expression became cold.
Feel the changes in Liu Rui before and after. But Huang Qiong could only think in her heart, secretly thinking that the woman's heart was really deep in her heart. After she really didn't understand, she said nothing more. Huang Qiong then left with satisfaction, but he didn't know that after he left, Liu Rui looked at his back for a long time and never recovered. Until Zhang Qiaoer, who had put on her clothes, saw Liu Rui looking at Huang Qiong's leaving figure in a daze, he sighed and then turned around, looking at the two elders supporting each other in front of him, but he still remained silent.
However, what surprised the two of them even more. Soon after, Lu Mengzheng and Huang Qiong were left guarding the capital with Yu Mingyuan. Before taking the harem concubines, princes, princesses, and civil and military officials on a westward tour, Liu Rui insisted on returning to his mansion. And Zhang Qiaoer was secretly and forcibly taken away by Huang Qiong before setting off. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Xijing, he accidentally discovered Liu Rui, a man disguised as a woman, who was supposed to be in his residence at the moment among the accompanying team. If it weren't for the sharp eyes of the younger son who was brought out together, he would have discovered his sister.
I'm afraid that Zhang Qiaoer won't know that Liu Rui followed him to Xijing when he returns to Beijing. Zhang Qiaoer was not the only one who was surprised. Huang Qiong was also shocked when he learned that Liu Rui had also followed him to Xijing. Although he really didn't want to, Zhang Qiaoer begged. I am really worried that my brothers who came to Xijing and the Tubo nobles who are about to come to Xijing to meet the emperor will do something harmful to this beautiful and charming woman. Huang Qiong finally agreed and let her live in the palace together.
Of course, Huang Qiong could not let someone who was not on the accompanying list be brought to Xijing with him without asking. Even if this person is Liu Rui and has an extremely close relationship with Zhang Qiaoer, Huang Qiong will not allow it to be so unclear. After arranging for Zhang Qiaoer to send a letter to Cui, who was staying in the capital, telling Liu Rui's whereabouts, so as not to worry her. Huang Qiongcai brought Gao Huaiyuan in front of him, cursed him, and ordered him to find out how the person got in within three days.
Before Gao Huaiyuan went to investigate, Wu Ziyu stood up and admitted that she had arranged it. It turned out that before departure, Liu Rui found her and said that she had grown up in Xijing since she was a child. Since coming to the capital, I have never been back to Xijing, and I miss him very much. She is a woman and has no way of going back alone. It's not a question of travel expenses or not. The key is that it's really unsafe for a woman to walk such a long way. And this time when Shengjia was on his western tour, she wanted to go back with Shengjia to see the place where she grew up.
At the same time, in order to avoid Zhang Qiaoer's worries, she didn't want to make it known to everyone. So please ask Aunt Wu to help her arrange it. She can dress up as a little eunuch and follow her, so that she doesn't have to show off in front of the concubines to avoid being discovered. I originally knew that Huang Qiong's tour to the west was not just a sightseeing tour. He not only wanted to pay homage to his ancestors' mausoleums, but also met with the clans of Shaanxi and Longyou. Wu Ziyu, the princes and nobles of Qingtang and Tubo, refused to agree. But she couldn't stand it anymore, so the girl kept insisting and finally agreed to it.
Although Huang Qiong was on his western tour, everyone who accompanied him was carefully selected. But after all, Wu Ziyu was a female official in the palace, assisting He Yao and Duan Jin in managing the affairs of the Sixth Palace. In fact, her status is still higher than that of ordinary concubines. Arranging for a person to dress up as a eunuch and sneak into the entourage is naturally a piece of cake. Wu Ziyu really didn't think too much when she made the arrangements. It wasn't until Huang Qiong ordered someone to investigate carefully that he felt something was wrong. Huang Qiong was also dumbfounded when Wu Ziyu admitted that she had arranged for Liu Rui to sneak into the entourage.
He was naturally reluctant to deal with Wu Ziyu harshly. At most, Wu Ziyu could not bear the torture as a punishment. Once the culprit was found out, the matter was naturally put to rest. However, although Huang Qiong promised Liu Rui to live in the palace, Huang Qiong has been avoiding her. Of course, Huang Qiong, who had just arrived in Xijing, was indeed busy. Received the princes and nobles of the Qing, Tang and Tubo tribes, as well as the leaders of the Red and White Sects. Together with the Shaanxi and Longyou clans, civil and military officials, and officials in Xijing, they really didn't have time to see her.
Of course, Huang Qiong, who was taking a break from his busy schedule, did not forget to relive old dreams with Zhang Qiaoer in the Wanchun Palace where Huang Qiong handled government affairs. Just because Liu Rui suddenly appeared in the entourage, Zhang Qiaoer, who had always had a complicated mind, was always out of shape. After she met Liu Rui from Huang Qiong, she frowned in a rare way, knowing that Huang Qiong had not arranged this. Later, I learned from Wu Ziyu the reason why Liu Rui came to Xijing. Zhang Qiaoer didn't know much about Liu Rui's temperament, and his thoughts were more complicated.
Liu Rui lived in Xijing for a long time. After leaving Xijing for so many years, I have always missed Xijing’s words. Zhang Qiaoer knew clearly that that was just an excuse. Because she had vaguely felt something. Even though she couldn't believe it in her heart, seeing was believing. Huang Qiong never touched Liu Rui, and even avoided Liu Rui when he saw her. Although it made her a little happy. But what worried her most was Liu Rui's own thoughts. In this kind of mood, how can she still enter the state?
Zhang Qiaoer's impatience was felt not only by Huang Qiong, but also by Situ Huanshuang, who always didn't care about other people's business. But on this matter, none of them could say anything. Especially for this matter, the source still lies with Huang Qiong. What's more, how can this be advised regarding the relationship between Liu Rui and Zhang Qiaoer? Fortunately, Huang Qiong discovered Liu Rui and secretly followed her all the way to Xijing, avoiding Liu Rui all the time. In addition, Situ Huanshuang, Duan Jin, and He Yao were all busy cooperating with Huang Qiong to receive the married women and family members of the clan in Xijing.
As a result, everyone unanimously regarded him as a mute. After Liu Rui was discovered, she was living in the palace with her accompanying concubines, princesses, and princes who had not left the palace. He did not live with Zhang Qiaoer, but lived with Cai. The only time he spent time with Zhang Qiaoer was when he and Zhang Qiaoer went to the house where Liu Chang lived when he was a junior official in Chang'an and visited his former neighbors. Apart from this incident, he has always been very cold towards Zhang Qiaoer. Even in the palace, Zhang Qiaoer was always avoided.
These things made Zhang Qiaoer feel a little sad. Although he is crazy sometimes, he is sad most of the time. Looking at the sad Zhang Qiaoer, Huang Qiong didn't know what to say. However, after arriving in Xijing, he was busy with government affairs and did not have much time to enlighten Zhang Qiaoer or take care of this matter. Huang Qiong's visit to Xijing was part of the preparations for the Northern Expedition. The reason is simple. During the entire Northern Expedition, he needed stability in the northwest. Especially the Qing Tang Tubo and those guys from the Western Regions.
If we want to deal with Bei Liao, we will definitely have to use all the troops in the country. As for the overall domestic situation, Huang Qiong believes that there is still no problem. Even if he is not in the court, nothing big will happen. After so many years of hard work, Huang Qiong thought she was doing pretty well. Even if all the best troops from across the country are deployed in the Northern Expedition, there will be no trouble in the country. But this group of goods to the west was what he was most worried about. Nowadays, due to the constraints of the Qingtang and Tubo alliance flag system and Zheng Daoyuan's painstaking efforts in the past few years, even the internal fighting has almost disappeared.
As the imperial court divided and disintegrated through a series of ennoblements and flag-setting, the strength of the Tubo tribes in the Qing and Tang Dynasties became increasingly weaker. In order to compete for pasture and title, they became more and more deferential to the court. But Huang Qiong was still a little worried about this group of guys. Even as early as the founding of the Qi Dynasty, under the repeated conquests of the Guilin County King, the Qing and Tang Tubo clan chiefs and leaders, apart from occasionally harassing Longyou, were no longer able to invade the border on a large scale. But Huang Qiong still planned to get to know the bottom of these guys. What's more, there's the one further west.
When he came to Xijing, meeting the clan members of the Second Road was just the smallest thing in Xijing. Huang Qiong's biggest purpose in coming to Xijing was to summon the princes and nobles of the Qing, Tang and Tubo tribes as well as the leaders of the two religions and give them rewards. Of course, meeting the King of Anxi in the Western Region is even more important. Duan Lin went to the Western Regions, but never returned. There was no news during this period. This made Huang Qiong always worried about the Western Region. This time when I came to Xijing, I not only summoned the king and queen of Dali to visit Xijing. And at the same time, he was summoned to Xijing.
In fact, compared with the alliance flag system and the red and white religions, the Qingtang and Tubo completely lost their will to resist. The guy in the far west is what Huang Qiong is most worried about. According to the information transmitted from the Western Region, although it has been a lot of hard work, this guy has basically completed the internal integration after several years of hard work.
