After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

In mid-April, Chu Qinghuang and Fucang returned to Xiqi.

The weather is getting hotter, and pedestrians on the road have taken off their spring shirts and put on summer clothes. The gentlemen are all wearing flowing light robes, and the women are wearing flowing skirts of various colors and styles. The scenery on the long street is beautiful, and the clothes are bright. Compared with a few years ago, There were obviously many more boudoir women walking around on the long street.

"When Her Majesty the Queen is in power, even if there are no explicit legal provisions, the status of women will be greatly improved invisibly." Fucang looked at the scene of busy traffic on the street, both men and women. It is no longer the time when women stayed at home. "It shows that women are willing to accept changes in their hearts these years."

Before Chu Qinghuang ascended the throne, women from major aristocratic families would only show up at banquets or poetry and song activities organized by someone. Usually they could only relax through poetry gatherings, tea parties, and flower appreciation banquets. On weekdays, I never leave the house or take a step outside. The only time I can go to the market is because my father is very open-minded.

Nowadays, women can be seen hanging out on the streets at any time. Young women can be seen everywhere in rouge and gouache shops, ready-made clothing shops, and jewelry pavilions.

Even medical clinics can recruit female apprentices, and no one will accuse them of being unruly and unruly.

The two of them quickly arrived outside the palace gate, and saw Chu Xuanyi waiting for them in front of the palace gate from a distance, with a group of guards standing behind him.

Chu Qinghuang and Fucang approached on horseback, and the Imperial Guards still looked at them warily. Until they recognized Fucang and saw Her Majesty the Queen disguised as a man, they all knelt down at once: " See Her Majesty the Queen, see Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Chu Qinghuang got off his horse and raised his hand to signal: "No courtesy."

Chu Xuanyi escorted the two of them into the palace, and said disapprovingly as he walked: "Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are going on a long trip, and there are too few people with them. What if they encounter danger along the way..."

"Currently, as long as it is not a planned assassination, there is probably no master in this world who can defeat me and Fucang at the same time." Chu Qinghuang said, "Don't worry."

What she didn't add was that even if they existed, they were all members of her own family.

Nowadays, all the countries in the world are in peace, the princes of the Western Qi Dynasty have no power to struggle, and there are even fewer people who can accurately know the whereabouts of Chu Qinghuang and Fucang.

Therefore, it can be concluded that assassination almost never happens.

So what are you doing with so many experts?

Chu Xuanyi knew that he was no match for Her Majesty the Queen, but he still couldn't help but said: "It's still necessary just in case."

Chu Qinghuang nodded: "I will pay attention next time."

Chu Xuanyi then shut up.

"What happened in the DPRK recently?"

Chu Xuanyi said: "Everything in the government affairs is normal, but General Qi Ling sent a memorial. After reading it, my father put it aside and did not deal with it yet."

Although King Rong temporarily took over the affairs of state, the matter of bringing the border generals back to Beijing was not a trivial matter, and he had no right to make the decision.

Besides, the person Qi Ling wants to see when he comes back is Her Majesty the Queen. While Her Majesty the Queen is not in the palace, he will not see anyone when he comes back.

Chu Qinghuang asked: "What did the memorial say?"

Chu Xuanyi said: "He wants to return to Beijing to report on his duties, and also ask your Majesty to grant him a marriage."

Chu Qinghuang was slightly surprised, then nodded: "I understand."

If the general stationed at the border does not have a decree, he cannot return to the capital without authorization under ordinary circumstances. He must ask for instructions before returning, or he must be recalled by the king's decree.

After Qi Ling took over his father's official position, he only came back once. He came back to report on his work after defeating the northern Xinjiang army. He didn't live in the imperial city for long. After giving a truthful statement on the border situation, he quickly returned Returned to the border.

When they arrived at Changming Palace, Chu Xuanyi did not follow him in. Yuan Bao led the palace people to greet him from a distance: "Your Majesty the Queen, my lord, you are back! I want to die -"

"You want to die?" Fu Cang frowned.

Yuan Bao choked and shook his head repeatedly: "No, I don't want to die."

What he wanted to say was that this servant misses you so much, but the emperor doesn't seem to like this, so Yuan Bao quickly ordered the palace servants to make tea, prepare water and towels, and wait for Her Majesty the Queen and the emperor to wash and change clothes.

Chu Qinghuang heard what Yuan Bao wanted to say, looked at him with a half-smile, walked to the window and sat down on the brocade couch.

"Your Majesty must be tired." Yuan Bao came over and squeezed her shoulders diligently, "I am here to serve Your Majesty."

"You don't need to wait for me." Fu Cang walked over and pulled him to the side, "I'll do it."

Yuan Bao froze. It was hard for him to meet the emperor's wife, so he thought of letting the emperor sit next to him and take a rest. He didn't want to be attentive but used it in the wrong place.

Well, the royal wife is too jealous, he should have known it.

"Okay." Chu Qinghuang grabbed Fucang's hand, raised her eyes slightly, and raised a smile on her lips, "After returning to the palace covered with wind and dust, the first thing I do is take a bath."

Fucang pursed his lips, and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "I will serve your majesty."

Chu Qinghuang then ordered Yuan Bao: "Is the hot water ready? My wife and I will take a bath first, and you will be responsible for preparing the meals."

"This slave obeys your order."

"In addition, let the three people in the imperial study prepare. I will go to discuss matters with them in an hour." Chu Qinghuang ordered, and added, "Princess King Rong enters the imperial study."

"yes."
