Liu Jing felt like he was on vacation, coming back from somewhere, resting for a few days, and then leaving in a hurry. For him, home was like a hostel, which always kept him from staying for a few days. This time, he secretly warned himself that he must stay at home for more days.

It has been a few days since he pacified Hexi. Liu Jing has lived at home for nearly a month. As the weather gradually gets hotter, the unbearable hot summer season has quietly come. In the past few days, Liu Jing has been busy placing a full moon banquet for his second son. Unlike his eldest son Liu Zhi, he looks like his mother. The second son Liu Long looks like Liu Jing, and is simply carved from the same mold. This makes Liu Jing very happy. He has to watch this precious son several times a day before he can be satisfied.

In the room, Tao Zhan was teasing Sun Shangxiang. Seeing Sun Shangxiang holding her son and loving her, she smiled and said, "I still remember someone who tried hard to complain about the pain of pregnancy, crying and shouting not to have a child. Now, I wonder if she still has this idea?"

Sun Shangxiang said a little embarrassedly: "I had known that the little guy was so cute, so I wouldn't have complained at the beginning. Alas! This little guy is my nemesis. Yesterday I told my husband that he wanted to go out for a walk, but as soon as he finished speaking, he cried and was not allowed to go out."

As soon as Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, Liu Jing's laughter came from the door, "You can take him out with you!"

As soon as the curtain was opened, Liu Jing walked in. When Tao Zhan and Sun Shangxiang saw Liu Jing breaking in, they quickly 'shh!', Sun Shangxiang pointed at the child and lowered his voice: "I just fell asleep, don't wake up."

Liu Jing nodded, walked in quickly and said with a smile: "Let me see."

"It's such a hot day, just be quiet for a while!" Sun Shangxiang felt a wave of heat coming towards her. She frowned slightly and pointed to the side, "Sit down and rest first."

Seeing that Liu Jing was sweating profusely, Tao Zhan took out the embroidered handkerchief and handed it to him, and asked with a smile: "Have you just returned?"

"Just come back from the military camp outside the city."

Liu Jing didn't expect Tao Zhan to be here too. He felt a little apologized. During this period, he was just taking care of his younger son, but he ignored the eldest son a little. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "How is Zhi'er? Is it beneficial to study?"

"He is fine, he is very hard-working in his studies. The gentleman said he was born to be a good student, but I think he is too quiet and needs to go out for a walk."

Liu Jing nodded, "I will take him out for a walk in a few days."

"I'm going too!"

Sun Shangxiang next to him couldn't help but interject, "You take me out for a walk, I'm going to be suffocated to death."

As soon as she finished speaking, the child in her arms started to cry loudly. Sun Shangxiang suddenly panicked, and quickly got up to coax the child, and whispered in a low voice: "You little devil, you pester me all day long, I can't go out for a walk."

Tao Zhan smiled and said, "Shang Xiang, put him in the cradle or give him to the wet nurse. Don't always hold him by yourself. If he is used to being held by you, you won't be able to throw him away."

At this time, the child's crying gradually stopped and he fell asleep again. Sun Shangxiang carefully placed the child in the cradle, sat aside and shook it, and sighed, "I know, but I just can't bear it!"

Tao Zhan knew that Liu Jing had something to say to Sun Shangxiang, so he stood up and smiled and said, "I'm going to ask for dinner, you guys talk first!"

She smiled and walked out of the room quickly. When Liu Jing saw his wife leaving, she took out a letter and handed it to Sun Shangxiang, "This is a quick letter just sent from Jiangdong. It should be a letter written by Mrs. Zhou."

Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed. She was waiting for Xiao Qiao's letter. She should have come in spring, but there is no news yet, which made Sun Shangxiang very worried. She even wrote a letter back and asked. She took the letter and suddenly reacted and asked strangely: "Why is Xiao Qiao's letter to you?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Today Jiangdong sent a few letters together, and there were letters from your brother to me, so the Jiangdong messenger also sent me Mrs. Zhou's letter."

"Oh! So that's it."

Sun Shangxiang nodded and asked again: "What did my brother say?"

"It's nothing, it's just some business matters about Jingnan." Liu Jing tried to put it lightly. He didn't want Sun Shangxiang to participate in Jingnan affairs.

Without asking more questions, Sun Shangxiang opened Xiao Qiao's letter and read it hurriedly, with a disappointed expression on her face, "She said she fell ill in spring, so she couldn't come to Chengdu. She is recuperating and will not come next spring."

"This is indeed a bit regrettable. I hope her body will recover as soon as possible!"

At this time, Sun Shangxiang smiled and leaned close to Liu Jing, grabbed his hand and said coquettishly: "You said it was a good idea just now. Let's talk about the details."

Tao Zhan left Sun Shangxiang's yard and quickly walked towards the front hall surrounded by more than a dozen maids and female guards. She was in a good mood. Her husband said he wanted to take his son out for a walk, which made her feel very relieved. She hoped that her husband could spend more time with her son. Her son was too addicted to studying and became a little taciturn, which made her a little worried.

As soon as he walked to the front hall, a maid came to report: "Princess, Butler Wu asked you to go to the doorman to see it. It seems that there is something important."

Tao Zhan frowned. What was the important thing? She had to walk to the door again. The doorman was located inside the gate, usually where officials came to see the King of Han waiting to be summoned. At this time, more than 20 guards stood on both sides of the doorman, surrounding the doorman. Tao Zhan was slightly stunned. What's wrong?

As soon as she went up, the old butler Wu Zhong stepped forward and saluted, "See the princess?"

"Butler Wu, what happened? It's so nervous."

Butler Wu whispered a few words to Tao Zhan, and Tao Zhan's eyes also showed surprise. How could it be? How could Cao Cao's daughter come to the Han Palace? This must be a fake.

Tao Zhan was cautious. She pondered for a while and walked into the doorman. Two female guards followed her left and right. There were two in the room. A girl with a maid-like appearance was sitting listlessly in the corner, while another woman stood in front of the window, looking up at the clouds in the sky.

Tao Zhan was secretly surprised when she saw that she was slender and beautiful, just standing there quietly, and she felt a graceful and luxurious spirit. If she thought that this woman was a fake, but this temperament was not something that ordinary people could possess, she was also confused.

"Who are you?" Tao Zhan asked coldly.

The young woman suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes flashed with gem-like luster. She looked at Tao Zhan a little and asked hesitantly: "You are Princess Tao!"

Tao Zhan heard that her tone was not a question, but determined her identity. Obviously, she understood the level of clothing very well, and Tao Zhan's tone was still very cold, "I'll ask again, who are you?"

The young woman hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "The little woman Cao Xian is the daughter of Prime Minister Cao, and she came from Yedu."

‘Cao Xian!’

Tao Zhan heard from her husband that this name seemed to be Cao Cao's daughter, but a name cannot represent anything and anyone can pretend to be. The key is that this matter is simply incredible. Cao Cao's daughter actually came to Chengdu alone and brought only one maid, and no one would believe it.

Tao Zhan shook his head, "Miss, don't you think it's ridiculous that you always say that you are the daughter of Prime Minister Cao?"

The person who came was Cao Xian. She was stinged by her elder brother's words. For the sake of her father, she secretly left Yedu and came to Chengdu resolutely. She didn't know what she was going to do, but she knew one thing very well that the root of her father's illness lies in Liu Jing.

Cao Xian blushed, slowly lowered his head, and said for a while: "I know it's ridiculous, and most people will not believe it, but I am indeed the daughter of Prime Minister Cao, I."

Cao Xian couldn't continue to say anything, but Tao Zhan became even more alert. She ordered the two female guards around her to "drive her out!"

Tao Zhan turned around and left, and Cao Xian said anxiously: "Princess, I am really, my father is sick."

Tao Zhan stopped and did not look back. He just sneered and asked, "Even if you are real, your father fell ill, what does it have to do with the King of Han? What did you come to Chengdu to do?"

"My father's root of my father is the King of Han."

Tao Zhan suddenly turned around and stared at Cao Xian with sharp eyes, "So you want to come to Chengdu to assassinate the King of Han to relieve your father's illness, right?"

"No!"

Cao Xian shook his head in panic, "How could I assassinate the King of Han? I'm just me."

"What are you just?" Tao Zhan asked Cao Xian without any ambiguity.

Cao Xian bit his lip tightly, lowered his head, his eyes turned red, "I just came to beg the King of Han to write a letter to his father, comfort him, and improve his illness."

Although Cao Xian's voice was very low, Tao Zhan could hear it clearly. There was a hint of warmth in her eyes. No matter whether the woman was fake or not, or what her motive was? But Tao Zhan could feel her love for her father, and that kind of affection could not be fake. She thought to herself, 'Can she be really Cao Cao's daughter, so she can't be too reckless.'

Thinking of this, Tao Zhan still said coldly: "Although your words are really incredible, I won't make things difficult for you too much. Let's just treat you as half of Prime Minister Cao's daughter. After I investigate it clearly, I will send you a chance to stay in the palace for the time being, but you can only live in the foreign palace. This is for the safety of the King of Han. If you don't want to, you can leave at any time."

Cao Xian is a smart person with ice and snow. Although the princess is cold in attitude, she can feel the princess' kind nature. She was moved and nodded quickly, "I have no objection!"

Tao Zhan turned around and said to Mr. Wu: "Take them to the guest room, clean up a yard for her to stay in, and no one is allowed to disturb her."

Butler Wu sighed in his heart. The princess was so kind-hearted that a woman came for no reason and actually left her. Moreover, she claimed to be the daughter of Prime Minister Cao, which was extremely absurd. If someone else had been driven out long ago, the princess would have been so tolerant. He said to Cao Xian and his maid: "Come with me!"

Cao Xian bowed to Tao Zhan and followed the housekeeper out. Tao Zhan looked at her back and showed his noble temperament in every move. This was definitely not an ordinary woman. She ordered two female guards to monitor her, "You two will not allow her to walk around, but you must also protect her safety."

"Don't worry, princess, we understand!"
