Liu Jing looked at his wife in confusion. How could his wife know about this matter for the sake of confidentiality?

Tao Zhan smiled and said, "It was actually Xiao Qiao who told me that she seemed to know a little about her husband and Da Qiao. Later, Da Qiao wrote her a letter, which revealed her address in Chengdu, so I rushed to Chengdu to find her."

"I see!"

Liu Jing thought to herself that with Da Qiao's intelligence, she should have intentionally revealed that after all, she was alone in Chengdu, and her so lonely torture and concerns about her child's future. Da Qiao also hoped that Tao Zhan would know about this as soon as possible.

After pondering for a while, Liu Jing asked again: "How many people know about this?"

Tao Zhan thought for a while and said, "Xiao Qiao knows, Shang Xiang knows, and there is also Da Qiao's personal maid. If I know about her pregnancy, there are female guards Zhong Xue and Doctor Wang, I have carefully checked it, and these people should know it."

"But she is more than five months pregnant now. Even if I marry her, she will give birth to a baby in a few months. What should I do?"

Tao Zhan shook his head and smiled, "Is it that my husband only knows that things are in trouble now?"

Liu Jing said helplessly: "It is true that the matter is about to come. What are the good strategies for madam?"

"I have thought about it for you. She is not pregnant yet. You can hide it. Let her enter the house as soon as possible. Your husband will take her as a concubine, and then let her live in the villa so that she will not be known if she gives birth to a baby. After waiting for a long time, no one will pay attention to this loophole."

Liu Jing frowned, "It's not appropriate to let her live in the villa alone!"

"If you are reluctant to live in the villa, then we will move to the Weiyang Palace. The size of Weiyang Palace is enough to avoid everything. Now the Han Palace is small. If you let her live here, it will definitely be difficult to hide it. All kinds of rumors will eventually spread."

Liu Jing walked slowly in the room with his hands behind his back. It was not that he was reluctant to put Da Qiao in the villa, but that he had just destroyed Jiangdong. If he married Da Qiao, it would make Jiangdongwu officials feel disappointed. He had to consider this influence. Even if he wanted to marry Da Qiao, it would have to wait for a while to let Jiangdong's influence fade away.

In fact, Tao Zhan reminded him on the one hand that he could move into the Weiyang Palace. With the size of the Weiyang Palace and the strict guards, he could indeed block all news. Didn’t Sun Quan’s idea of ​​Da Qiao be solemn to bring her into Jianye Palace, and no one else in the outside world knew about it?

As for the usurpation involved in the use of the Weiyang Palace, it is actually no longer a problem. Sun Quan lived in Jianye Palace, and Cao Cao himself also lived in the Tongque Palace. Who would have said that they were usurpation? Besides, he had already used the Weiyang Palace as an official office, so this was usurpation long ago.

The reason why Liu Jing did not move into Weiyang Palace was just that he did not want to have a big impact. Now for Da Qiao, he had to consider this plan. After pondering for a long time, Liu Jing slowly said to Tao Zhan: "You are right, moving to Weiyang Palace is indeed a way."

Tao Zhan just said casually, but she didn't expect her husband to respond seriously that he wanted to move to Weiyang Palace, which surprised her. After a while, Tao Zhan also reacted and hurriedly said, "Husband, you won't really want to move to Weiyang Palace!"

Liu Jing sat down and said earnestly to his wife: "I used to ask you to be simple and strictly prohibit the fine clothes and food. It is indeed a bit extreme. It seems to be advocating frugality, but this will also cause dissatisfaction among the ministers and cause dissatisfaction in their hearts. Instead, it will not be worth the loss. The same is true for moving into the Weiyang Palace. Although there is this condition, moving into the Weiyang Palace is a hope for everyone, but he insists on living in a small house. It seems to be self-disciplined, but in fact it is a bit pretentious and will damage the confidence of supporters in the world. I think I dare not take the lead in the status of the minister. So with this time, we will officially move into the Weiyang Palace, which will make the world regard Chang'an as orthodox."

"But do this, isn't your husband afraid that others will accuse you of being unjust?"

"If you want to blame me, they will blame no matter what I do, and those who support me will support no matter what I do. So usurpation is just an excuse to attack political enemies. If I move into Weiyang Palace, then the Tongque Palace where Cao Cao lives is many times more luxurious than the Ye Palace where Tian lives. Why no one says he is usurpation?"

Tao Zhan nodded silently, "If your husband decides to move into Weiyang Palace, I don't object, but I don't want your husband to do this for a woman."

"There is no necessary relationship with her. She is just a touch point, which finally made me decide."

...........

Liu Jing and Tao Zhan reached a consensus, so Da Qiao's entry into the mansion would be natural. If Da Qiao hadn't wanted to marry Liu Jing as a concubine a few months ago, she would not even have the intention to get married again, but she just lived her life peacefully. However, after she became pregnant, her mind would change, especially at night when she felt the heartbeat of the child in her belly, and the joy of being a mother, she was even more willing to sacrifice everything for her child.

She had no requirements for herself, but she didn't want her child to be a low-ranking illegitimate or illegitimate daughter. It was when she was in Chengdu that Da Qiao changed her mind. She wrote to Xiao Qiao and implicitly told her situation that she was willing to marry Liu Jing as her concubine.

The process from being single to a wife is not smooth. The most important thing is that she has to overcome the hurdle of her wife Tao Zhan. Without Tao Zhan's consent, she will always be a different home wife, and the baby she gave birth to can only become an illegitimate child.

Fortunately, Tao Zhan is a tolerant and rational woman, no one is trapped by selfishness. She considers her husband's reputation more, so she has accumulated trouble and takes Da Qiao back to Chang'an. Finally, she expresses her opinion to her husband, and she is willing to accept Da Qiao.

It was Tao Zhan's threading needle that made Da Qiao finally enter the Han Palace as a wife and concubine five months after he was pregnant. At night, a carriage quietly drove into the Han Palace from the side door. In the inner hall of the Han Palace, Tao Zhan accepted Da Qiao's tea and formally determined Da Qiao's identity.

However, this matter was not open-minded. Only a few of Liu Jing's wives and concubines participated in the concubine ceremony. The news that Liu Jing did not want Da Qiao to marry him became a topic on the streets of Chang'an the next day. Although many people in the mansion knew that the King of Han married a new concubine, and his name seemed to be Jiang Lian, no one knew who Jiang Lian was? What did he look like? Where did he come from?

In the back house of the Han Palace, two maids were carrying lanterns in front of them, while Xiao Qiao and Sun Shangxiang followed slowly. Xiao Qiao, like his sister Da Qiao, was nearly six months pregnant, and it was already a little inconvenient to walk, while Sun Shangxiang helped her walk slowly.

"Shangxiang, this time my elder sister has tried her best to get my elder sister introductory and hide it from everyone according to the general's wishes. I still can't figure it out yet, why not let my elder sister be proud of her?"

Xiao Qiao didn't hear Sun Shangxiang's reply for a while. She looked back at her and saw that she was silent, she asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Sun Shangxiang sighed softly, shook her head and said, "It seems that Da Qiao was my sister-in-law, I can't accept it even more. But, thinking about it, she is also pitiful. Her eldest brother passed away early, and now Jiangdong is also destroyed. Her father passed away again a month ago. She is also lonely in the world. As long as she is not forced, why should I interfere in this matter for the unhappiness in my heart? That's too selfish."

At this time, the two walked to Xiao Qiao's yard, Xiao Qiao held Sun Shangxiang and smiled, "Do you want to sit in my room for a while?"

Sun Shangxiang forced a smile and said, "If you don't bother me, I'll go and sit for a while!"

"I don't think you are annoyed, I'm afraid you won't be at ease."

"That little girl should have already slept. I have a wet nurse with him. What's wrong with me?"

The two walked into the courtyard and sat down on the second floor. Xiao Qiao's maid gave them hot tea. Sun Shangxiang held the teacup and said, "Da Qiao was once the mistress of Jiangdong and had a high prestige in the army. During the Battle of Red Cliff that year, didn't Cao Cao openly take your sisters? As a result, he angered the Jiangdong General and almost killed the envoy Jiang Gan. Now that Jiangdong had just died, the husband was in a hurry to marry her, which would make Jiangdongwu feel disheartened, so this matter cannot be publicized. Just enter the mansion quietly. How can he get married like you?"

Xiao Qiao frowned slightly, "But this kind of thing can't be kept in the fire after all, and it will be known to others sooner or later."

"When time goes on, everyone will be indifferent to Jiangdong. Even if they know, it doesn't matter. The key is to give Jiangdongwu officials a face. Everyone knows it well. They will not care about it if they know that the King of Han cares about their feelings. If they take it in front of the world like Cao Cao, who will be able to hold it?"

"I can understand what you said. I didn't expect that you will make a lot of progress when you go back to Jiangdong!"

"Watching Jiangdong is destroyed, even if it doesn't grow, it will grow."

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was a little depressed, Xiao Qiao smiled and changed the subject, "Shangxiang, do you know how I know the relationship between my sister and the general?"

"You knew it before?" Sun Shangxiang asked in confusion.

"I just saw a little clue in the past. Last time the general took his sister to leave Jianye, I found that the elder sister's eyes looked different when she saw the general, especially when she said goodbye, the elder sister's eyes were so reluctant..."

"We won't talk about this!"

Sun Shangxiang interrupted Xiao Qiao and said, "I heard from my elder sister that we are moving into Weiyang Palace soon, do you know?"

Xiao Qiao was stunned and then shook her head, "I don't know at all, when will we move?"

"It should be very soon, probably these two days."
