When Chen Kaizhi arrived at Wanshou Palace, he saw the Empress Dowager sitting in the courtyard, surrounded by people. She was wearing a large troupe, showing her elegance and luxury.

The sun shone slanted to her body, making her more noble and arrogant.

Chen Wuji supported her, and the Empress Dowager's eyebrows were a little sparse, but she could still see the look of her youthful and beautiful face.

Chen Kaizhi stepped forward, and the Empress Dowager raised her eyes and glanced at him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Kaizhi, are you here? The Ai family has been waiting for a long time."

Chen Kaizhi saluted her slightly, and then said, "I came immediately when I heard the call. Empress, it's cold today. Why should I blow the wind outside here? It's better to go to the bedroom to rest."

The Empress Dowager shook her head gently: "If you don't go, just stay here. The cold winter comes, the more the Ai family thinks of herself. Many years ago, the most popular thing about Ai family was winter. There was snow in winter, but now, they are afraid of the cold winter, because of that." She shook her body, looked back at Chen Kaiyi's eyes, and smiled: "Because every time we enter winter, the Ai family knows that Ai family is missing another year in this world. The Ai family has passed the most glorious time of life. Now it is old, just like this cold winter. With the winter wind, sooner or later it will wither and wither like all things, withering and withering, but there will be nothing left. The past is like smoke, and all honors and disgraces are all ashes."

Chen Kaizhi was guessing the Empress Dowager's thoughts in his heart, but he just listened quietly on his face.

Seeing him frowning deeply and listening, the Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I think you don't understand. After all, you have never reached the age of Ai's family and may not be able to understand it. People..." She smiled sadly: "You have fought for me all your life, tried your best to make a lot of effort and tidied up your mind. What is the purpose of? In the end, isn't everything going to be empty? Chen Kaizhi, what do you think?"

Chen Kaizhi hesitated for a moment: "I don't understand."

He was cautious, perhaps because of his fear of the Empress Dowager, he always had thoughts hidden.

The Empress Dowager exclaimed and laughed, and she looked old in the rippling sunshine.

"No, the Ai family knows that you are different from others, and your heart is different from others."

Chen Kaizhi's heart skipped a beat and became more and more alert. Why... the Empress Dowager noticed something? Then, what is her deep meaning? Chen Kaizhi actually clenched the hand hidden in her sleeves, just hoping that once there is a change, she would try her best to kill her.

The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows gently, looked at Chen Kaizhi, her face still retained a smile, and said lightly: "I heard that on Feiyu Peak, you have erected a stone tablet, and the words on it are: Establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past sages, and open peace for all ages; your heart is not small."

Chen Kaizhi breathed a sigh of relief, but said with a smile: "I am a scholar, and I think so probably."

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "Scholars can only say and think, but they are reluctant to put down their posture and do it, and they dare not try it. This... is the difference between you and those scholars. I heard that you recruited the royal family to study in the mountains. Is there any such thing?"

Chen Kaizhi felt that the Empress Dowager seemed to have seen through people's hearts. Yes, there are so many slogans in this world that make people excited and touch them. But in the end, there are very few people who shout many times but are willing to lean over to do it.

The Empress Dowager finally mentioned the matter of the royal family and knew how much she knew. This made Chen Kaizhi more cautious, but he still smiled faintly at the Empress Dowager: "Yes, I am also from a poor family and I know their difficulties. Now I finally have the love of Empress Meng and Your Majesty, and I have no worries about food and clothing. So I thought that I would always help within my ability, so I recruited the children of the royal family to go up the mountain to study."

Chen Kaizhi had already written this explanation, and it was stable and there would be no mistakes.

The Empress Dowager gazed and looked at Chen Kaizhi with a smile: "But I heard that they were actually incorporated into the Warriors' camp."

Chen Kai still maintained a humble smile on his face, but he seemed to know something in his heart.

Although everyone knows that the royal family has been allowed to go up the mountain to study, after the royal family has been up the mountain these days, Feiyu Peak has been closed. Ordinary people have no idea what the royal family has done to go up the mountain. However, the Empress Dowager is aware of this. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager is very concerned about him.

Moreover, there should be the Empress Dowager on Feiyu Peak, otherwise why would she know the news so soon?

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. This woman was very good, but he had already made a statement. Therefore, he said to the Empress Dowager: "I teach people to study, and I must go through two-pronged approaches. If I don't practice, I will not be able to sharpen my character. This book will be of no benefit after reading it. Civil and military officials are complementary, so I have all incorporated them into the Warriors camp to make them read better."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "How to study, the Ai family actually doesn't understand. You are a student, but you understand these things. The Ai family just asks you, you don't have to be afraid. Speaking of which, you can spend so much manpower and material resources to study for the royal family, making up for the shortcomings of the court. The Ai family is too happy. The Ai family asked you to come, not to tell you about this, but to have something to tell you."

Chen Kaizhi was shocked, and Yuelaiyue couldn't figure out her, but as long as she didn't deliberately cause trouble for herself, he solemnly said, "Listen."

The Empress Dowager glanced at him gently, then said lightly: "In two days, the envoy of Chu State will enter the capital. Do you know what it is for?"

Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "I don't know."

In fact, Chen Kaizhi had long heard of the envoys of Chu State entering the capital. After all, he was the commander of the Jinyiwei, but sometimes he pretended to be confused. After all, he had shown his strengths recently, so he should hide his shortcomings.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Princess Zhao is a royal family in the Chu State, you know this."

"Yes." Chen Kaizhi nodded.

The Empress Dowager looked into the distance, as if she was looking at the scenery, but she seemed to just glance inadvertently. E raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "Your Majesty's mother is a native of Chu. Now, Your Majesty is nearly eight years old and is not young. Therefore, the Chu people intend to marry her princess into my Dachen. Of course, this marriage will not be so urgent. But when the Chu envoy comes from afar, the purpose is to decide this marriage first. This is a good thing. Chen and Chu have always been peaceful, but now they want to make a good relationship between Qin and Jin again. The Ai family attaches great importance to this marriage. In addition, the princess of Chu will also enter the capital. In the name of this is to visit her aunt, the Princess Zhao, but in fact, they are here to see the palace and have to know something, right?"

Chen Kaizhi nodded, but shook his head again: "I don't actually understand the marriage or marriage."

The Empress Dowager turned her eyes back to Chen Kaizhi, and gently pursed the corners of her mouth, and laughed and said, "Yes, you are a man. If you know this, the Ai family will doubt it, but you don't need to understand this. At that time, the Chu people's car will be held in Beijing, and you will be responsible for greeting and protecting the safety of the Chu people. The last time, the young master of Yan Shenggong was attacked, almost resulting in an unpredictable consequence. If something happens this time, it will be bad."

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Yes, I understand."

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, and then she did not forget to remind Chen Kaizhi: "Anyway, be careful and be careful."

"I will definitely live up to my mission." Chen Kaizhi nodded.

The Empress Dowager waved at him and smiled: "Actually you are right. The Ai family... shouldn't have fought outside for a long time. Now that the cold wind blows, I feel a little uncomfortable. The Ai family should take a break. You and Wuji, both of you should retreat."

After saying that, she glanced at Chen Wuji, put her hand on the eunuch beside her, and Xu Bu led a group of palace maids toward the bedroom.

Chen Kaizhi and Chen Wuji looked at each other.

Chen Wuji smiled and spoke first: "Duke Guo, let's go out of the palace together."

Chen Kaizhi nodded and walked side by side with him, but... but found that he didn't know what to say, so he walked silently. Chen Wuji, who had recently seemed introverted, suddenly said: "The emperor's grandmother has told you so much, which shows how much she values ​​you?"

Chen Kaizhi smiled in his heart. It may not be important to value it. Who knows what it is? This woman is terrible. He will never understand her intentions. However, Chen Kaizhi did not reveal it, but nodded and smiled: "Yes, the Empress Dowager is so kind that he really dare not to accept it."

Chen Wuji smiled: "This is a blessing, how come you dare not accept it? Protecting the country, you have won the hearts of the royal family, and it has also expanded the Warrior camp for this. This is a killing of two birds with one stone. It is really admirable to be so sophisticated."

Chen Kaizhi stopped suddenly, and he looked up at Chen Wuji, with this very beautiful face, pursed his mouth, and also looked at him with a smile.

Chen Kaizhi said: "Where is it, I don't quite understand what Your Highness Wuji said."

Chen Wuji stared at Chen Kaizhi. After a long time, he smiled in his eyes and said, "The Duke of the National Guard has changed."

"Hmm?" Chen Kaizhi made a nasal sound.

Chen Wuji sighed: "It has become different from the Duke of the National Guardian. I remember that the Duke of the National Guardian did not have such a precaution against people, but now..."
