I never thought I would be able to see my relatives in the palace, and joy is natural. Coming out of the Luanjiao Palace, Qingqing went straight to the Imperial Garden.

I saw someone from afar and walked head-on. Lu Shui is also there, so the three of them enjoy the flowers and laugh together, so it is not lively. That Lu Yun wanted to say a few words to his brother, but it can be seen that the person is the father who accompanies the queen, so he thought that he would wait for the separation and then find a chance to talk, who would have thought that Lu Shui would not leave for a moment, but he didn't leave until the queen came, and several people talked and laughed to themselves.

Originally, Lu Yun and Qingqing had a very good relationship, and it was not impossible to come over to play together. But he didn't want to go over, so he walked away alone. Du Youlan was different, after walking a few steps, she smiled and asked Yu Xuan to accompany her back to the palace.

It's time to apply.

The adults went out of the palace gate before and after, and took the sedan chair waiting outside the palace gate to return to their homes. After Ren Guiping and Lu Shui said goodbye to Qingqing together, they were led out of the harem by the little eunuch. Qingqing also returned to the Luanjiao Palace. Yuxuan stayed in Chaoxiang Palace.

Chaoxiang Palace regained its favor, and the Secretariat also wanted to be happy. The father-in-law in charge waited for the emperor to leave and then came in to say goodbye, smiled and said something nice to the ear, so that the master was happy, and then talk about his own affairs.

Du Youlan has long been accustomed to seeing that kind of person, and she knows exactly what she is thinking in her heart. After listening to what her father-in-law said, I saw her smile and said: My father-in-law can think of Chaoxiang Palace, and this palace is grateful. If there is anything, the father-in-law just says that it is, let the minions bring the message, and you don't have to make a trip yourself!

When my father-in-law heard this, he smiled and said: Xie Niangniang is compassionate, it is enough to have your words. Since the time to save money, there have been fewer and fewer things in the office. But if the mother is so favored by the emperor, she will not treat you badly. You can rest assured that there are minions here.

Du Youlan nodded and said: With her father-in-law here, the palace is naturally relieved.

The father-in-law then nodded and bowed down, and said, "Then the slave will retire first."

Du Youlan said: Let's go.

Where the emperor's favor is, the father-in-law of the bureau will run there. This principle is understood by everyone in the harem. The people of Chaoxiang Palace saw that the father-in-law in charge had come to Chaoxiang Palace early, and naturally understood, thinking about the good days in the future, they all smiled and bloomed, and they were waiting for the good food and drink to be rewarded.

Summer has three dogs, and it's now.

This is just the beginning of the lurk, and no amount of thin dress can alleviate the heat. The so-called sweat of the beauty is fragrant sweat, and the rouge should be rubbed too thick, and the fragrance overshadows the smell of sweat.

In order to save money, for example, a bowl of mung bean soup per person was told that it was gone, and it is conceivable that the palace people had many complaints.

Inside the Chaoxiang Palace.

The maid of the first palace was serving Du Youlan and said: Niangniang, the slave maid heard many people say that all palaces are saving expenses, but the Luanjiao Palace is still the same as usual, and there is no reduction in expenses at all. I wonder if it's true?

Du Youlan didn't look back, and asked: Who said that?

The palace maid said: Everyone in the palace said so, and I heard it too.

Du Youlan Dao: What else did you say?

Hearing this, the palace maid continued: She also said that the bureau listened to the Luanjiao Palace, and all the good things were sent to the Luanjiao Palace first, and the rest were distributed to other palaces. The slaves and maids want to ask for an explanation, and those fathers-in-law only say that the queen is the master of the harem, in charge of the phoenix seal, and should take the Luanjiao Palace first. So he said that, but when the slave and maid heard it, they felt angry.

Du Youlan smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that the master smiled, the palace maid added fuel and vinegar and continued: Niangniang, you are not angry, you are deeply favored by the emperor, and Luan Jiaodian, the emperor has never stayed overnight, even if it is the queen, she should not be so wronged by you.

Suddenly, Du Youlan reprimanded: Shut up! The queen is also you can slander.

The palace maid was saying that she was on the rise, and when she was said like this, she didn't know what to do.

Seeing that people were stupid, Du Youlan softened her breath and said: If you listen to anything, forget about the jokes of ordinary minions, just listen to it, I don't care. If you listen to some gossip about your master, you chew your tongue in front of people and talk nonsense. At that time, don't blame the palace for disposing of it according to the palace rules.

After hearing this, the palace maid knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a panic: "Niangniang spare her life!" The maid is talking nonsense, and she doesn't know what she said. Please let the slave go!

Seeing this, several palace maids standing on the side did not dare to come out, they all lowered their heads and put their hands close to their bodies.

Seeing that it was almost over, Du Youlan said: Fortunately, you are in my palace, and you are from my palace. Forget it this time, but remember what Hongu said.

The palace maid kowtowed again and again, and said: The slave knows it, there will be no next time!

Du Youlan said: Get up. Fan the wind in Hongu.

The palace maid got up from the ground, grabbed the fan, and shook it slowly at Du Youlan, who was sitting in front.

Since that day, in the past few days, Yu Xuan has come again, but the other palaces have not stayed overnight. In this regard, Du Youlan was satisfied, and today she heard the palace maid say bad things about the queen, although she wanted to be punished, she was happy in her heart. As for the Luanjiao Palace, as long as the emperor does not stay overnight, what can he do if he goes to eat every day.

The harem complained about this, fortunately there was the queen mother's decree, although there were complaints, but no one dared to make one or two. However, the Qianqing Palace is not peaceful.

The border war report was sent to the imperial study. However, for more than ten days, the enemy army actually penetrated into the Xifeng army in the middle of the night, burned all the grain and grass, dozens of military camps were burned, a few were burned to death, most of the soldiers escaped in underwear only, because the fire was too big, the armor was too late to take, so they could only abandon it. Before it could be repaired, the enemy army led his army deep into the hinterland of Xifeng's army at the beginning of dawn.

The letter also said: Our army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat into the city gates. This letter was written by Marshal Lu.

Originally, the two armies were facing each other, but they didn't expect that the people outside the fortress would burn other people's grain and grass to win. In addition, the Xifeng army suffered heavy losses, and most of the armor was discarded in the fire, how to resist the enemy without armor, and how to defend the city gate if the enemy army attacked the city strongly.

This matter cannot be neglected, and Yu Xuan immediately ordered Sanren to leave the palace and invite the Hubu Shangshu and the Bingbu Shangshu to enter the palace to face the saint.

From time to time, the two adults rushed to the imperial study. Yu Xuan has been waiting, and the two of them have done the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and Yu Xuan said bluntly: There is something important to find two adults to enter the palace and need to be done immediately. I received a battle report from Marshal Lu before.

Yu Xuan told the two Shangshu all the things written in the letter.

Then, Yu Xuan continued: The city must be defended, and military rations and armor and weapons must be available, so it will be done by the household department. In addition, reinforcements need to go, and after the military headquarters counts the number of people, they will set off within three days.

The two adults glanced at Yu Xuan, didn't dare to say anything, bowed their hands, and only said: Weichen has the order.

In addition, Yu Xuan wrote a long letter and sent someone to the border pass to appease the army.
