Since last year, Liu Hou sent someone to propose to He Yang Hou for the marriage of Wu Guo's young master Liu and his daughter. Later, due to He Yang Hou's illness and death, Liu stayed to guard his father's mourning, so this family affair was delayed, but Zhang He and Liu were already considered a couple in name.

  Spring light is faintly shining, a young man and woman are riding horses along the Wei River.

  "Wait a little longer, after summer arrives, I plan to request an imperial edict to go to the border."

  "Why?" Liu Liu's voice was somewhat surprised. "Zhang Dage is a noble and virtuous person, if he stays in the imperial court, after a few years, he will definitely be promoted step by step."

  "Fame and wealth are good, but they're not what I truly want. Lu Liu, do you know? The Emperor and I grew up together since childhood, so I understand him well. His ambition is not to become a renowned ruler or expand the territory, but to let all the people on this land live a rich and happy life. This is actually more difficult than being a wise and loyal minister. Although he has been confused before, he is ultimately moving step by step towards this goal. So, I want to help him. There are already famous ministers in the court, I want to go to the local area and use my abilities to their fullest for him."

  "Tha..." Liu Liu wanted to speak but stopped.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Then we," Liu said with a slight bow of his head, "are going to be separated, aren't we?"

  Zhang He smiled faintly and held her hand, saying, "In two years, your filial piety will be fulfilled, and I'll come back."

  "That," Liu Liu's eyes didn't dare to look at him, but her voice was righteous and confident, "after you leave, you can't like other girls, you can't let other girls like you, otherwise, if I find out in the future, I won't forgive you."

  Zhang He was laughed out loud by her series of unlaughable jokes. She couldn't help but say, "Alright, alright. My lord husband." The last four words were almost a sigh.

  The air is filled with the fragrance of green grass.

  Suddenly, a burst of laughter from a group of young men and women came from up ahead, getting closer and closer, as if they were heading in this direction.

  Push aside a willow branch. Zhang He was taken aback for a moment, among the crowd of noble young men, the prominent girl riding a horse in the front, who else could it be if not Liu Xian, the princess of Chu State?

  At that time, Liu wore a red dress, laughing freely and unrestrainedly, with a faint blush on her beautiful face.

  She saw Zhang He. She was stunned for a moment. A pair of wonderful eyes turned around him and Liu Liu, and smiled, "Wow, Yanyin Gongzi is accompanying Wu Guo's master to take a spring outing."

  "Hmm." Zhang He nodded and lowered his eyes, pretending not to know that Liu had pinched the palm of his hand hard from behind.

  He had just warned you not to let other girls like you casually, but now he met a girl who likes you the most.

  Liu's eyes dimmed slightly, "Let's go." She beckoned to a group of young men and whipped her horse forward.

  The fine horse shook its tail and slowly passed shoulder to shoulder with Zhang He.

  My youth was reckless, my time of happiness on earth.

  Liu straightened his back on horseback. Even if he was defeated in the emotional battlefield, he had to try his best to smile and maintain his own pride.

  After bidding farewell to the crowd, Liu Xuan drove his horse back to the mansion. In front of the gate, he suddenly felt a different atmosphere from usual, and familiar family members came and went between the gates. He was stunned for a moment, threw the whip to the young servant, and rushed towards the main hall with great joy.

  "Are you back? It's not time for the imperial court to enter Chang'an, why are you returning to Chang'an at this time?"

  Liu Jiao turned her head around, and at the bottom of her eyes was a faint sadness and pity. "I came to see you off on your wedding day."

  "What does it mean?" Liu Xuan suddenly had a bad premonition.

  "Ten days ago, His Majesty decreed that you be sent to the state of Chu, and appointed as the Grand Princess of Chu, with orders to marry and form an alliance with the Xiongnu." Liu Jiao could not bear to look at her again.

  Liu was taken aback for a moment and forced a smile. "Father, you won't agree to this, will you? You've always been the one who loves your daughter the most."

  Liu Jiao was silent.

  She was walking dazedly along the small path in the mansion when she suddenly heard a servant whispering under the artificial hill, "Is it true that the old master is really going to marry off his daughter to the Xiongnu as a peace offering?"

  "Yes. I also heard that in order to compensate for Chu Guo, Your Majesty specially added the title of Gongzi Li as Zongzheng, leading the imperial clan."

  "Even so, Zong Weng still can't help but feel a little pitiful."

  She suddenly had an idea, turned around and rushed towards the back yard of Wang's residence.

  "Master," the sky had already darkened, and Xiao Shuai looked at Liu Xuan in surprise, who shouldn't have appeared in a place like the stable. He gave a thousand-yard stare, but Liu Xuan seemed not to notice, led out his horse Fei Yun, mounted it, and galloped out of the mansion.

  She rode all the way to the north of Weiyang Palace, under the double que, where her horse's momentum didn't decrease at all, as if she was about to crash into the palace gate. Two teams of armored guards rushed out from the side door, blocking the girl and her horse, their spear tips pointing at the girl on horseback, "Who are you, daring to barge into Weiyang Palace?"

  A horse's long neigh suddenly rose, and Liu Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "I respectfully inform Your Majesty that the Queen Mother of Chu is seeking an audience outside the palace gate."

  The reputation of the First Master of Chang'an, Wei Wu Jun had also heard of it in his leisure time. At this moment, across the twilight, he measured the proud and beautiful girl on horseback, she was dressed in red, her eyebrows and eyes were flying high, her temperament and expression were all unhidden elegance, she shouldn't be an imposter.

  "The palace gates are now closed," the leader of the guards said in a loud voice. "Without an imperial summons, no one is allowed to enter or leave. Even if you are the King of Chu, you should quickly leave. Otherwise, it will be considered trespassing and punished accordingly."

  Liu burst out laughing, his expression having a hint of resentment. "Wanting to decide my fate is not something that you, this group of Weiwei military officers, can do. Go and report to the Emperor for me, whether or not he sees me, he will have his own decision."

  Having finished speaking, she stopped talking and regarded the sharp spears in front of her as if they were nothing. Under the gaze of Wei Jun's astonished eyes, she urged her horse forward, taking slow steps.

  After a short while, the eunuch in yellow robe came running to the palace gate and said in a shrill voice, "The King of Chu, His Majesty summons you to wait at the Bai Liang Pavilion."

  The dusk in Weiyang has a quiet atmosphere. Liu Xie entered the Weiyang Palace for the first time at this hour, and along the way, the wind lanterns under the eaves of the long corridor lit up one after another, forming a bright passage. The Beiliang Platform was brightly lit, but there was no bustling scene like in the daytime.

  Liu's eyes suddenly turned sour and almost shed tears.

  It was unknown how much time had passed. The sound of footsteps gradually came from under the stage, she raised her head and saw the emperor in a dark robe step down from the sedan chair and come to her front.

  "Ah-ya." He called her like that.

  "Imperial brother," Liu Qian knelt down and begged. "Liu Qian doesn't want to go to Xiongnu, please spare Qian's life."

  In the darkness, Liu Ying's eyes showed a desolate color. "The Han-Xiongnu alliance will always require someone to go."

  "But why me?" Liu Xuan couldn't help but ask loudly, "Among the many women in the imperial family, why did the empress dowager and Your Majesty choose me specifically?"

  "Because." Liu Ying hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Because you are strong enough, determined enough, smart enough, and have enough schemes. In the past, Liu Dan was weak and fragile, and after going to Xiongnu, she ended up dying young; I don't want to see another princess of the Han dynasty die on that land. If it were you, I believe you could live a little longer."

  "Haha," Liu said with a crazy laugh. "So the strong and persistent cleverness was actually a mistake of mine?"

  "Ah, Liu," Liu Ying opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and finally could only say, "You just think that I owe you." "One apology can make me willingly go suffer the hardships of the great desert?" Liu Liu grabbed onto Liu Ying's sleeve, pleading pitifully, "Last year when the Xiongnu people wanted Zhang Yan for a marriage alliance, didn't you protect her? Your Majesty, Liu Liu begs of you, please save Liu Liu again. Ah Yan is your own niece, but Liu Liu is also your real younger sister!"

  A Yan and others are different.

  For a moment, Liu Ying thought so, and he swallowed many words in his mouth. Sighed, "It's not going to work. Ah, didn't you say that the imperial decree has already been issued, and I also cannot go back on my word with the Xiongnu people for the second time."

  He saw Liu's eyes staring blankly, and she hadn't spoken for a long time. He sighed, patted her shoulder, and said, "If nothing is wrong, I'll go back first."

  As he turned around, Liu Xuan's venomous voice came from behind him, "Your Majesty is so biased, aren't you afraid that after I go to the Xiongnu, I will deeply resent the Great Han and help the Xiongnu instead?"

  Liu Ying stopped in her tracks, her expression solemn. "A Yan and you are different," she said. "She is a Zhang, while you are a Liu. All these years, you have enjoyed the honor of being a Liu, so naturally you should make some sacrifices for it. If this gives rise to resentment, I am not afraid. The ancestors of the Liu family in heaven will also not forgive you."

  "Wait," he thought for a moment and said, "You wait for me for twenty years. Twenty years later, perhaps, I will take you back."

  "Twenty years," Liu said with a faint smile, "twenty years later, perhaps my bones will have been scattered by the wind." Your Majesty has made up your mind. In the Chang Le Palace, Empress Lü threw a bundle of incense into the stove and said lightly, "Then you shouldn't go see the Chu State's old master at all."

  "I understand the reason," Liu Ying slowly came back to her senses, clasped her hands and sighed, "It's just that I find Ah Jiao somewhat pitiful. She has grievances in her heart and wants to tell me about them, but can't bear to not fulfill them."

  "Women's benevolence." Lü Hou snorted, "She has taken advantage of your good nature. See if she dares to come to the Chang Le Palace to beg for mercy from our family."

  "Let's not mention this anymore." Empress Lü smiled and said, "After a half-month of recuperation, Ayao's chickenpox has finally healed. After the Han-Xiongnu marriage alliance is formed, the Ai family will arrange the wedding between Your Majesty and Ayao."

  Liu Ying was startled, "The selection of the princess has already been decided, and the Xiongnu envoy has already returned. Why must she still be taken as empress?"

  "However," Empress Lü hummed, "these days, the Ai family has thought it over and still feels that Ayu is the most suitable candidate for empress. Over the years, I have searched among the noble families of Chang'an, and there is no woman who surpasses Ayu. Moreover, she is the daughter of the emperor's sister, a close relative, isn't that even better?"

  "Ayao is good," Liu Ying shook her head and firmly refused, "but she is my niece, the generation is not suitable, the order of marriage is not proper, it cannot be done!"

  Xuanping Marquis's Mansion

  "Big Brother Ao," Lu Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked inexplicably, "I've always thought you weren't a person who was keen on fame and wealth. But this time, why did you still agree to let Ah Yan go to Xiongnu and become the empress, even though she didn't have to go?"

  Zhang Ao was momentarily speechless, "I just... hope Ah Yan gets the best in the world."

  "But being this empress is not the best for her, but the most sorrowful." Lu Yuan angrily roared and turned to rush into the inner chamber.

  Zhang Wan was holding a bamboo kite and was just coming out of the inner room when he bumped into his mother's bosom.

  "Mother," he asked with a smile, "it's been more than half a month since sister entered the palace, when will she come back? She promised to take Yan'er to fly kites."

  Lu Yuan hugged him tightly, tears streaming down his face. "It's almost time. Yan'er, let's go to the palace and pick up your sister. The three of us will return to Xuanping together. Your father has gone mad. We won't bother with him."
