With the addition of honor, Yiju Pavilion is different from the past.

Despite this, Lu Yun still often goes to Luanjiao Hall to play, and the two have a very good relationship. The same is true in the eyes of others. Only Du Niangniang in Chaoxiang Palace, only goes back and forth between Yanxi Palace and Qianqing Palace, and plays in the imperial garden in her spare time, who cares about the other two Niangniang in the harem.

Feng Shui takes turns, and to this day, she has to look at people differently. The emperor has not been to Chaoxiang Palace for a long time, and it is useless to send someone to invite her, even if he goes to see the emperor in person later, he only sends her away with the words of 'busy government affairs'. Get up early every day and go to the Queen Mother's palace to ask for peace, hoping that the Queen Mother can take care of herself, so as to persuade the emperor to go to Chaoxiang Palace to sit more, but after so many days, the Queen Mother only said to wait, look forward to, the emperor will always go.

Now I see that Lu Yun has been favored and is close to the queen. Even if she didn't want to, Du Youlan had no other way to see the emperor again.

Inside the Luanjiao Palace.

Du Youlan dressed up carefully, looking glamorous and moving, but Qingqing, who did not use powder, was even more beautiful and moving. After the two sat down, Qingqing asked: Why is my sister here?

said that she was a younger sister, but Du Youlan was one year older than her. It's just that the position is respectful and humble, and I call my sister. Du Youlan was not restrained, and said with a smile after listening to the words: My sister is lively here, and my sister wants to come and sit down, so I can chat and talk with my sister.

Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, you can say whatever you want." I asked Qi Xuan to go get some snacks.

Qi Xuan was beside him, and after hearing the words, he bowed and retreated to the kitchen. There are also dyed branches accompanying Qingqing, and Du Youlan is also accompanied by a palace maid, who is used to serve closely.

After Qi Xuan left, Du Youlan said again: Sister is really good here, no wonder Sister Lu always likes to come.

Qingqing said: She is greedy and likes my snacks, so she always comes. If you want, come often, and have enough snacks.

Du Youlan smiled: That sister thanked my sister first. In the future, I hope that my sister will not think that I am annoying.

Qingqing said: How can you come as a guest, how can you be annoyed, you often come.

Du Youlan said happily: My sister said this, I am relieved.

Qingqing also smiled, and then picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

This hour is close to noon, and every time Yu Xuan goes to Luanjiao Palace, it is this hour. When the two were laughing, a girl came running and said, "Niangniang, the emperor has come to dinner."

When the two of them heard this, they both got up and walked out, Qingqing was in front, and Du Youlan was behind, standing in front of the palace gate and waiting. When Yuxuan approached, both of them saluted and greeted: Welcome to the emperor, the emperor is safe.

Yu Xuan immediately said: Hurry up.

Qingqing got up, but Du Youlan behind her got up slowly, as if she wanted to attract the attention of others. Yu Xuan did see her, but he didn't want to pay attention to it. looked at Qingqing and said: Let's go into the house and eat.

Then he took Qingqing's hand and went to the hall.

Qi Xuan looked at Du Youlan, smiled, bowed in front of him, and said: Du Niangniang, my mother is going to accompany the emperor, please go back first.

Du Youlan's eyes were not angry, and after glancing at Qi Xuan, she turned around and left. Qi Xuan sent the people away, and he was happy and went to serve his master with joy.

The battle in the border area is about to break out, and it has been more than a month since the day Chu Yun returned to the outside of the fortress. The Saiwai clan, from time to time, were all repelled by the Xifeng soldiers. Although there is a holy decree, the main attack can be entered, but Lu Shuai feels that it is inappropriate, the military food and materials are all here, if you rashly go deep into the enemy's hinterland, the situation is not good, even if there are many enemies, the chance of victory is not great, if the materials are attacked by the enemy and are in a weak position, it will be even more difficult to deal with. In this regard, Hu Guangwei did not have such concerns, and directly admonished him many times, but he returned in vain, so he was resentful, and one day, he led a thousand soldiers to attack the small tribes in the border area.

Those who do not obey military discipline and military orders should be dealt with by military law. Hu Guangwei was fined 50 military sticks for leading his troops to battle without permission. Since then, no soldier in the Xifeng army has dared to lead the army to fight.

This matter did not end there, but it became the fuse of the war and the beginning of the prologue. Although the barbarians outside the Seychelles are a little more brutal and ruthless, they understand better the weal and woe of their relatives and friends. Although the land where General Hu's troops were leveled was a small tribe, the barbarians could not tolerate it. Soldiers have already reported that they have seen a formation of soldiers and horses in the distance in the north, and it has been determined that they are from outside the Saiwai clan.

Then, an urgent report came from the border pass, which stated that the Saiwai sergeant had set up camp ten miles away from the border pass, and had not made any move, just waiting for the holy ruling.

After Yu Xuan read the urgent letter, he immediately wrote the next holy decree: it is imperative for the two armies to face each other.

The sound of drums was deafening, and hundreds of thousands of troops gathered and went out of the camp to fight. Ten miles away, the Saiwai clan heard the drums and identified the drums from the Xifeng army, and its leader, the general, rose up in anger and ordered the soldiers to beat the drums.

Horses' hooves are splashing, dust is flying, war drums are rumbling, swords are stained with blood, and corpses are everywhere.

And inside the Xifeng Palace, everything is still the same. The ladies still enjoy the flowers and play, eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, taste the good ginseng tea, be happy and happy, and live a fairy day. The expenditure of this harem has never been less, not to mention the emperor's courtyard, five thousand taels a month is the least.

Now that the days are getting hotter and hotter, the cries of knowing are already everywhere, and the various palaces have begun to fetch ice cubes from the office. The ice in this palace was chiseled into blocks from the extremely cold land by people, and then accelerated into the palace by chariots and horses. Ice cubes are hard to come by, and it is conceivable that they are no less rare than ordinary pearls.

The girls in charge of the harem all came to ask for this ice cube, and the bureau didn't dare to deal with it at will, they had their own way of doing it.

Luan Jiao Palace.

The father-in-law, the head of the bureau, came to Luanjiao Hall to ask for peace, and after asking for peace, he took out the account book and respectfully presented it to Qingqing. Qi Xuan is in charge of affairs and serves Qingqing closely, and she accompanies her in everything related to affairs, money and other things. At this time, I saw Qi Xuan take the account book from the father-in-law's hand, and then handed it to Qing Qing, who was sitting on the couch. Qingqing stretched out her hand to take it, and after turning it over roughly, she closed it and handed it to Qi Xuan, and said: This account book will be placed here first, you go back first, and then let people send it back after the palace has read it carefully.

The father-in-law agreed, bowed and withdrew.

The account book recorded the income and expenditure of the recent month, and which palace came to take everything was recorded on it, and you can know it when you check it. The ice cubes of the new palace are also recorded on it, and how many enter the office every day, and how much is taken away by each palace, are all recorded. It's not the end of the month, so my father-in-law sent this because I wanted the queen to see it first.

Qingqing always didn't want to look at the account books, as long as she sent them, they were handed over to Qixuan, and after reading them, she would talk to her again. Qi Xuan is willing to do this, read it carefully, and understand it when he says it, which is reassuring.

After his father-in-law left, Qi Xuan looked at Qingqing and asked, "Master, why did you send this account book?" Didn't you wait until the end of the month to send it to check?

Qingqing listened, looked at it and said: No matter what, since it was sent over, take a look. 89
