Can I get to the other side?

Yecheng Imperial Palace, Xuanshi.

After Liu Xie read the information sent from Qingzhou in his hand, his tense mood finally relaxed a little. He raised his head and smiled at Guo Jia and Jia Xu:

"Yuan Xi has never let me down. He has successfully deceived Yuan Tan."

"Now Yuan Tan is targeting the pseudo-emperor hiding in Dongguan County, and has dispersed a lot of troops to Dongguan County to search for the pseudo-emperor. The defense against Xuzhou and Jizhou will inevitably be reduced."

"It's time to prepare to send troops to attack Qingzhou."

The plan is currently going very smoothly. Yuan Tan believes Yuan Xi's trick and begins to search for traces of the "Emperor" in Dongguan County.

This just gave Lu Bu and Zhang Liao a great opportunity.

But before that, Liu Xie also needed to confirm the situation in the other two states and asked:

"Is there any news from Bingzhou and Youzhou?"

If you want to send troops to Qingzhou, the prerequisite is that the hands and feet of Guo Yuan in Bingzhou and Yuan Shao in Youzhou are restrained, otherwise Zhang Liao will not be able to lead the army to leave Wei County.

This depends on his previous layout and moves.

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, the envoy sent to Youzhou has returned. Zhang Yan accepted your Majesty's offer and said that he would hold Yuan Shao back at all costs. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Guo Jia also said: "Ma Chao and Han Sui also sent out large armies to merge with the state. Guo Yuan did not dare to send troops away easily."

"good!"

Liu Xie laughed loudly when he heard this and said with high spirits: "Send an order to Zhang Liao and ask him to order all his troops and troops to send troops to Qingzhou in three days!"

All his plans are just to capture Qingzhou!

Everything is ready, if we don’t send troops, how long will it take?

"According to the order!"

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were also excited, and they accepted the order one after another.

After they left, Gao Lan walked into the announcement room and reported: "Your Majesty, today you are entering the palace. According to the rules, you have to meet the queen and all the concubines. This matter must be recorded in the records by the minister and the historian. Your majesty will decide how to arrange it." ?”

Fu Guiren is the sister of Queen Fu.

Last time, Queen Fu's mother and Fu Wan's wife, Princess Yang'an, met with Liu Xie and requested that her second daughter be sent to the harem as a concubine. Now she has entered the palace.

According to the rules in the palace, after the emperor canonizes the concubines, the concubines must pay their respects to the queen, and all the concubines must also be present, which is regarded as paying homage to the mountain and highlighting the queen's status.

Because there was no queen in Yecheng before, this point was omitted;

But now that Queen Fu is in Yecheng, the concubines who enter the palace must follow this rule.

Of course, it ultimately depends on what Liu Xie wants.

After all, Queen Fu was already under house arrest.

"Are you going to meet the queen..."

Liu Xie frowned and thought for a moment. He didn't want Empress Fu to meet with outsiders again, especially the concubines in the harem like Zhen Mi.

But Fu Guiren is Empress Fu's biological sister, and she has just entered the palace, so it is unreasonable not to allow her to see the empress;

The living man and the historian couldn't explain it either.

Otherwise, if it spreads, it will definitely damage the majesty of the emperor.

After thinking briefly, Liu Xie said: "Yes."

However, permission is allowed, but the situation must be under control.

Although he had threatened Queen Fu with all the lives of the Fu family before, he could not guarantee that everything would go wrong.

Queen Fu must always be prevented from talking nonsense.

"promise!"

Gao Lan turned around and retreated.

…

Qingli Palace.

Zhen Mi was facing the mirror, picked up the lipstick and sipped it gently, adding a touch of bright red to her pink lips. Then she picked up the golden hairpin left by her brother Zhen Yan and inserted it into her temples. Only then was she satisfied. He nodded.

After finishing dressing up, Zhen Mi turned her head slightly to look at the palace maid serving her, and asked with a smile: "How was it?"

Today she put on a gorgeous lavender palace dress, and the light makeup magnified her beauty even more. She looked like a hibiscus, pure and refined, making it difficult to look away.

Such a beauty can be said to be the beauty of a heavenly being.

The maid serving on the side had already been stunned. After hearing Zhen Mi's words, she looked at Zhen Mi's flawless face and murmured: "Beautiful..."

Zhen Mi smiled brightly, feeling slightly proud.

She never likes to dress up on weekdays, because her appearance is already beautiful enough, and dressing up is as dispensable as the icing on the cake for her.

But today she had to dress up seriously.

Because a new concubine entered the palace today and wanted to meet the queen, and all the other concubines also had to do so, which meant that she could finally meet the legendary Queen Fu.

The woman who shamelessly returned to His Majesty from Xu County and competed with her for favor and position!

"Hmph, I want to see how you compare with me!"

Zhen Mi snorted. Although she was a little jealous of Lu Lingqi and Xiao Qiao, she didn't take them seriously.

Because both Lu Lingqi and Xiao Qiao are just ordinary concubines. She will be the queen in the future. In addition, she also knows that the emperor and them are just having fun, so they can be tolerated.

But Queen Fu will never tolerate concessions!

We met for the first time today, she must win in terms of beauty!

Zhen Mi stood up, walked out of Qingli Palace with light steps.

…

In Ziyun Palace, Lu Lingqi was still practicing her spear.

Although it has been a long time since I entered the palace.

But she still hasn't lost her martial arts skills.

Because Lu Bu once told her to practice martial arts to protect His Majesty, she never slacked off. At this time, she was already covered in sweat, and the sweat-soaked palace clothes stuck to her body, outlining her hot figure. Be very clear.

At this moment, the two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, entered the Ziyun Palace and were immediately surprised when they saw this scene.

Xiao Qiao blinked her beautiful eyes and asked in confusion: "Sister Lu, why are you still practicing spears? You are about to go to see the queen."

She and Da Qiao came with Lu Lingqi.

Because the three of them have a good relationship.

It's not that there is anything wrong with Zhen Mi, but because Lu Lingqi, like them, is not so noble, it is easier to talk to her, and she is not scheming.

Zhen Mi comes from a famous family, and there is a generation gap between them, and she is beautiful, so it is easy to feel inferior when they are together for a long time.

"Ah? I, I forgot..."

Hearing Xiao Qiao's words, Lu Lingqi's heroic face showed a trace of panic, and she asked awkwardly: "Can I not go? Can I say I'm sick?"

She was busy practicing spears and completely forgot about it.

It's too late to take a bath and dress up now.

Da Qiao frowned and said, "It's not good not to go. That's the queen. If you offend her, Sister Lu will definitely be embarrassed by her in the future."

"Don't waste time, Sister Lu, we'll help you!"

As she said that, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao half-pushed and half-pushed Lu Lingqi back to Ziyun Palace, and began to help her change clothes and dress up.

...

Pepper Palace.

After receiving the notice, Empress Fu had been waiting in the palace early.

After all, she had to meet the concubines today, so she was forced to change into a gorgeous dress, and dressed up a little, using powder to cover the haggardness and fatigue on her face.

She knew that if it weren't for the fact that receiving the new concubines in the palace was one of the things that the queen had to do, and the person entering the palace was her own sister, she would not have had the opportunity to show up.

"Alas..."

Thinking of this, Empress Fu couldn't help sighing.

She actually didn't want to see her sister enter the harem of this pseudo-emperor, but she couldn't say anything, let alone persuade her.

In addition to being useless, it would only bring a huge disaster to the Fu family.

Just as Empress Fu was thinking about it, there were several footsteps coming from outside the palace. Empress Fu was slightly startled, sat up straight, and regained her calm expression, while looking at the palace gate.

Soon the footsteps approached, and she saw a tall, heroic, and well-built woman walking in.

Behind this woman, followed a pair of sisters who looked almost exactly the same.

It was Lü Lingqi and the three girls, Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao.

"See the Queen."

Lü Lingqi and the three girls saluted Empress Fu together.

Empress Fu nodded slightly, her eyes fell on Lü Lingqi, her eyes moved slightly, and asked: "You are Concubine Lu, right? The daughter of Lord Wen?"

Lü Lingqi nodded and said: "Yes!"

Empress Fu was shocked by her heroic answer. The women she had seen spoke softly, how could she be so heroic?

She is worthy of being the daughter of Lord Wen.

Empress Fu retracted her gaze, glanced at Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, and raised her hand slightly, motioning them to sit down.

"These two sisters look really similar, a bit like twin sisters... Could it be that the fake emperor is your majesty's twin brother?"

Empress Fu looked at Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao out of the corner of her eye.

Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in her mind.

She has been thinking about why the fake emperor and the emperor look exactly the same for some time. As she just saw Xiao Qiao, she had a guess in her mind.

Twins are not allowed to be born in the palace.

Could it be that Concubine Wang gave birth to a pair of twins, but one of them was sent out of the palace, and that is the fake emperor now?

Gradually, Empress Fu couldn't help but start to think wildly.

Because apart from twins, she couldn't find a reason to explain why Emperor Xian of Han and Liu Xie looked so similar and could get the assistance of so many important officials of the country.

"Forget it, if I have the opportunity to see your majesty in the future, I will ask him again..."

Empress Fu collected her thoughts.

At this moment, she saw a purple figure walking into the Pepper Room, so she looked up and was stunned, even her breathing stopped.

"So beautiful."

At this moment, this was the only thought in Empress Fu's mind.

She had never seen such a beautiful woman.

The purple-dressed beauty who walked into the palace looked only 28 years old, but her temperament and demeanor had an indescribable charm, like a fairy lady in a painting, and her appearance was impeccable!

Empress Fu thought that her appearance was already good, but she was compared to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, but at least the difference was not too much.

But now compared with the purple-dressed beauty in front of her, it was completely dwarfed, making her feel ashamed.

She vaguely guessed that the purple-dressed beauty was the daughter of the Zhen family.

When Zhen Mi saw Empress Fu's dazed look, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes, and she stepped forward and bowed: "I, Zhen Mi, pay my respects to the Empress."

The voice was as clear as a silver bell, and it was pleasant to the ears.

After Empress Fu came to her senses, she suppressed her shock, smiled and said: "No need to be polite, Concubine Zhen, please sit down."

Zhen Mi stood up gracefully, walked to the side and sat down elegantly.

Lü Lingqi, Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao's eyes always stayed on Zhen Mi. They often met Zhen Mi, but it was the first time they saw Zhen Mi dressed up.

She was more than twice as beautiful as usual!

Even they couldn't help but stare at her.

After Zhen Mi sat down, she smiled at the Empress: "I have been with Your Majesty for a long time, and I often heard Your Majesty mention the Empress, but I have never had the chance to see her."

"Today I met the Queen. The Queen is indeed as beautiful as Your Majesty said. I am ashamed of myself."

This sounded like a humble remark.

But Empress Fu felt it was particularly harsh.

Ashamed of myself?

Empress Fu glanced at Zhen Mi's flawless face and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She could tell that this Concubine Zhen was not a good person. She was completely different from Lu Lingqi and Xiao Qiao. Today she came to show her power.

Empress Fu had lived in the deep palace for a long time and was certainly not unfamiliar with palace fighting, but she couldn't have the slightest idea of ​​being jealous at the moment.

What was she fighting for with the concubine of the fake emperor?

Suppressing the slight unhappiness in her heart, Empress Fu smiled lightly and said, "How can I compare with the beauty of Zhen Guiren? You are really too modest."

Zhen Mi did not intend to give up, and pretended to be envious and said, "The queen's makeup is really beautiful, unlike me, who is clumsy and can't put on makeup at all. I can't even apply rouge properly, so I can only go out with a plain face."

"If the queen has time, can you teach me?"

This made Empress Fu's originally extinguished palace fighting heart show signs of rekindling, but she still forced herself to hold it back.

Remind yourself that there is no need to get angry with such a little girl.

Answered indifferently: "Of course."

Zhen Mi saw that Empress Fu repeatedly did not respond and just gave in. She felt a little unhappy in her heart, as if she had punched cotton.

She snorted in her heart and stopped talking.

Not long after, Fu Guiren, who had just entered the palace, arrived under the guidance of the palace maid.

The two sisters met and exchanged pleasantries again.

Liu Xie was in the ear room, and he was relieved to see that Empress Fu did not make any unwise moves throughout the whole process.

From today onwards, Empress Fu can only be imprisoned alone in the Pepper Room unless it is a major sacrificial site.

…

Da Qiao, Da Qiao and Lu Lingqi were walking on the way back to the palace together. Xiao Qiao was quite amazed and said: "It turns out that Concubine Zhen is so powerful. I really didn't see it before... Sister, is this a palace fight?"

"Who do you think is more favored by His Majesty, Concubine Zhen or the Queen?"

Xiao Qiao's tone was full of curiosity.

But as soon as she said this, Da Qiao raised her eyebrows and glared at her, saying: "Don't say such things casually, be careful of the disaster from your mouth!"

Whether it is the Queen or Zhen Mi, they are not the two little beauties who can provoke them.

Xiao Qiao pouted and said no more.

But when she saw Lv Lingqi beside her, she couldn't help asking, "Sister Lv, why don't you ever compete for favor? You don't usually take the initiative to look for His Majesty. Aren't you afraid of losing favor?"

This question really stumped Lv Lingqi.

After thinking for a long time, she replied embarrassedly, "I think it's enough to serve His Majesty well. It's not up to us to decide which concubine His Majesty favors."

"And... I really don't compete for favor."

She always remembered what her father Lv Bu said to her before entering the palace, asking her to serve the emperor well and give birth to a dragon heir, so that she could become the queen in the future.

Anyway, the position of queen would not fall on anyone else.

Of course, she really didn't compete for favor.

She only knew how to wield a spear and a stick.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao looked at each other after hearing this.

They both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

If they had a powerful father like Lv Lingqi, they would definitely compete for His Majesty's favor.

It can only be said that Lv Lingqi's temper is too straightforward. In this harem, it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

…

Pepper Room.

After Fu Guiren, Zhen Mi and others left one after another, Empress Fu leaned on the soft couch alone, muttering: "What is his origin? Could it be that Concubine Wang really gave birth to twins?"

Just as she was thinking, a familiar voice came into her ears.

"I am very satisfied with your performance just now. I decided to give you some rewards."

Empress Fu raised her head suddenly and saw Liu Xie, who was wearing the emperor's ordinary clothes, walked in.

At first glance, she couldn't tell whether this was a fake emperor or an emperor.
