Ning Xiguang happily accepted Cui Ying's praise, then changed into beautiful clothes, asked the girls to hold the cooked chicken soup, and happily took the Zhengqing Palace in front of him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

She pinched the timing very accurately, and when she walked near the Zhengqing Palace, it was just in time for lunch.

If it is usual, the imperial dining room has sent the imperial meal at this time, but because it is a big court meeting recently, the government is busy, so that now, many ministers are still discussing in the Zhengqing Palace, and there is no sign of coming out.

Ning Xiguang was a little worried when she saw this, it was naturally inappropriate for her to rush in at this time, maybe she would be criticized by those ministers for being "pampered and arrogant" and "interfering in the harem". So, now find a place to be patient for a while?

Just thinking like this, Ning Xiguang saw the white and chubby prince coming out of the Zhengqing Palace in a hurry.

Coming to her, the princess smiled like a flower, "Zhaoyi Niangniang, you can come, you can go in quickly, Your Majesty has been waiting for you." ”

"Is that okay?" Ning Xiguang was suspicious, "There should be a discussion inside, isn't it good for me to go in now?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It's already lunchtime, Your Majesty has just ordered the meal, and all the ministers are staying in the palace for dinner today, and now it's time to leave the Zhengqing Palace. ”

As soon as Wang Zuofu's words fell, Ning Xiguang saw from a distance that many courtiers wearing flower feathers and dignified official uniforms had withdrawn from the Zhengqing Palace.

These courtiers did not straighten up until they were a few steps away from the Zhengqing Palace, and then, unsurprisingly, they quickly noticed Ning Xiguang.

The minister who can appear near the Zhengqing Palace at this moment, without thinking about it, knows that he must be the minister valued by Emperor Longyuan.

And since they can get into the eyes of the marshal, these people are simple and easy people? They are all old foxes with bright eyes and a long history of officialdom, and even if their hearts are twisted and knotted, they will never show the slightest emotion on their faces.

That's the case today.

When they saw Ning Xiguang, who rashly appeared near the Zhengqing Palace, it was almost a flash of light, and they guessed the identity of this beauty in palace clothes.

Regardless of whether they are at odds with the Weiguo Mansion or not, now that they see Ning Xiguang, they should bow or shake their manners, and if their status is higher than Ning Xiguang, they will simply bow their heads, and then those who have an upright temperament and look down on women will drop their sleeves and leave.

In short, just at that moment, from the simple actions of those people, Ning Xiguang had already judged the temperament of these people.

But what's the use? She doesn't have to deal with them.

When Ning Xiguang walked into the Zhengqing Palace, he saw that the marshal was still sitting in the top few places, and his sword eyebrows were slightly frowning and looking at the fold in front of him.

Unconsciously, he touched his chin with one hand, which was a small movement that the marshal would only make when he encountered something difficult.

"Aren't you busy yet? I've already brought the soup to me. ”

Fu Siyan didn't look up, and stretched out his hand directly to her, "Come here." ”

Ning Xiguang waved Cuiying and the others away, and walked over by himself, "No matter how important it is, let's deal with it after lunch." Didn't you get up early this day and suggest that I eat on time, and now you ignore it. Your Majesty Emperor Long Yuan, your attitude is not good. ”

Perhaps it was the five words "His Majesty Emperor Longyuan" that poked the laughing point, Fu Siyan's eyes unconsciously smiled, he pulled Ning Xiguang to his lap and sat down, and said with a smile in his phoenix eyes, "I'll have lunch later." But you don't get up until it's almost lunch?"

"Yes, I could have slept longer, but I was called out by Cui Ying. I was very sleepy just now, and I yawned all the way over. ”

"Now, are you still sleepy?"

"I'm not sleepy. Seeing you so excited, my blood is boiling, I am now refreshed, and I don't feel sleepy at all. ”

The smile on the face of Jun in front of him was even stronger, and even the corners of his sexy mouth were uncontrollably curled, which made Ning Xiguang happy in his heart.

Look, Lord Marshal is just too sullen. was obviously amused by her words, but he still pretended not to care, a little hypocritical.

She likes it, though.

After the two said a few words, Ning Xiguang called Wang Zuofu and informed him that he had passed the meal.

Although the daylight is very strong today, the temperature is not too high, and the cold wind blows, and the food is even cooler.

She asked the chicken soup brought by the maid to warm it in a crockpot, and it was also wrapped in a thick quilt outside, but it couldn't be left for a long time, otherwise it would soon be cold.

The two of them talked slowly as they finished their lunch.

After lunch, Ning Xiguang was not in a hurry to leave, but drank tea with Fu Siyan and chatted a few words by the way.

It was also from these few small talk that Ning Xiguang heard the meaning that the marshal wanted to conquer in person.

She was a little worried, so she asked him, "Are you going to go west to conquer Tatar?

"It is to conquer the Tatars, but it is not the Tatars who have invaded the border, but the Tatars who are now in civil strife and are in good time to capture them. ”

Ning Xiguang: "...... Do you have a grudge against this country?"

Fu Siyan looked at her with Nahan's eyes for a moment, which made Ning Xiguang's heart suddenly lift, and he always felt that he had said something stupid. Oh, the secret of this can't be known to everyone, right? And she can't inadvertently play the role of an illiterate person, right?

Ning Xiguang was apprehensive.

And when she went back, she asked Cui Ying, and Cui Ying's response was also very straightforward - she looked at her in amazement, and her eyes were like accusations, I thought you were a scholar, but I didn't expect that you were so well packaged that I didn't find out your scumbag nature until now.

And Ning Xiguang, who knew the entanglement, almost vomited a mouthful of blood, Nima, she has slept too much these days, and her brain is dull, so that she has made such a stupid mistake, she really should reflect on herself. If she continues to be a rice worm, maybe one day she will wake up and become a rice worm.

As for Emperor Longyuan's insistence on attacking Tatar when the old Tatar king was critically ill, several princes were vying for power, and the country was in turmoil, the hidden truth of this involved the grievances of the previous generation.

It's very simple to say, and it can even be summed up in one sentence, it is nothing more than the tragic death of the new Taizong, that is, the eldest brother and the second brother of Emperor Longyuan's father in his early years, which has the handwriting of the Tatars.

These two uncles died early, and Emperor Long Yuan had no feelings for them, but when Xin Taizong died, he left two wishes: one is naturally to let his son govern Daxin well, and not to destroy the foundation that his ancestors had worked so hard to lay; The second is that if conditions permit, he will avenge the two uncles.

Now, the opportunity has come, and the Daxin Dynasty is strong and strong, and it can make an all-out blow to Daxin at any time and annihilate all the Tatars.

Of course, Ning Xiguang didn't know these inside facts at the moment, she was just very reluctant to go to the battlefield with the marshal.

How dangerous the battlefield is, if you are not careful, the sword passes through the body, and you can't save it if you want to. If you don't look at the marks of the marshal's early years on the battlefield, the scars, some of which are particularly dangerous, can be seen to be life-threatening at that time.

Ning Xiguang was a little anxious and asked him, "I'm not against fighting, but if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, you are the king of a country, and there are many brave and warlike generals under your command, can't you let them fight the Tatars?"

"It's not that I don't worry about them, it's just that I want to take revenge in person. ”

The marshal has always spit on a nail, and when he rarely takes back what he says, he looks at his expression very firmly, and it is imperative to attack Tatar, and he will definitely take the expedition in person.

But no.

The marshal may think that he is now in the prime of life, full of energy, physical strength, and strong combat effectiveness, but these are useful!!

When your brain is not under your control, when there is a foreign object in your brain, and that thing is still attacking your nerves and brain, it is a rhythm that kills you every minute.

But is the battlefield a place where you can be distracted? If you are not paying attention, the enemy's swords and guns have pierced you in the neck.

Ning Xiguang was anxious, but in the end, she resorted to beauty tricks and bitter meat tricks, and she did not succeed in persuading the marshal to change her decision.

Ning Xiguang, who was worried and hurried, frowned on the way back, and there was no smile on his face, the frowning and thoughtful appearance, and the tight pursing of his lips, made Cui Ying tremble a little, and always felt that her mother was going to make some big moves.

…… It's better not to.

If there is a case, her life will not be saved.

For the next period of time, the atmosphere in the palace was a little tense.

The news that Emperor Longyuan was going to drive the royal expedition was already a tacit secret. Although the palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace were hindered by the palace rules, they did not dare to discuss this big move before it was completely made public, but they did not discuss it in private.

Talking and talking, these people, these palace eunuchs don't want His Majesty to recruit in person.

They are on errands in the palace, and they must ensure that they live a good life, not only to ensure that they can be assigned to a good master, but most importantly, to ensure that the biggest head in this palace must be wise.

If the emperor of the previous dynasty was stupid, domineering, and good at fishing, the palace ladies in the palace were abused by the princes, grandsons, and ministers of the court headed by the emperor, and the eunuchs became the rations of fighting beasts and the target of archery in their entertainment competitions.

It was a very difficult time, and everyone was terrified, lest the next day they themselves would become food for the beasts.

After Emperor Longyuan ascended the throne, the situation was very different, this is a Ming Monarch Holy Lord, as long as he works well under him, no matter how good or bad the treatment is, his life is guaranteed.

But if His Majesty personally conquers Tatar and something happens, who can guarantee that the successor will have one percent of the wisdom and benevolence of Emperor Longyuan?

These minions are still worried about this matter to the point that they can't sleep, let alone the concubines and queen mothers in this palace.

For the first time in her history, the Queen Mother took the initiative to summon Ning Xiguang.

After Ning Xiguang saluted, he got the permission of the Queen Mother and sat down under her, and then looked at the Queen Mother respectfully.
