The southern border was attacked, and most of the territory had been lost, and the news reached the harem, and the imperial concubine directly broke the teacup in her hand.
"Southern Xinjiang has been attacked!" the imperial concubine's face turned pale, "Did you say who did it?"
Dew Drop shook her head and said, "No." โ
The imperial concubine's face was solemn, and she muttered, "The life of this palace is going to be difficult. โ
The desperate tone made Lu Zhu's face pale, and he barely suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and persuaded: "Niangniang, don't worry too much, what does the attack on the southern border have to do with Niangniang." โ
The imperial concubine smiled bitterly: "Dewdrop, was your heart right when you said this?"
The dew drops were silent.
The imperial concubine raised her eyes and looked around, Emperor Xiqin was particularly partial to her, and all the furnishings of Chaohua Palace were according to her preferences. She likes the glorious glaze, so this Chaohua Palace is renovated one by one with glazed tiles. Under the sunlight, the glazed tiles glow with colorful light, and this beautiful scenery is only available in Chaohua Palace. It's a pity that glory and wealth are all vain, and if you are not careful, they will all be destroyed.
"Dewdrop, you are the person brought from Nanqi by this palace, it has been almost twelve years since this palace married into Western Qin, but no one will forget that this palace is the princess of Nanqi, and Yi'er has half of Nanqi's blood on her body. โ
"There was an accident on the border of southern Xinjiang, no one said who did it, although Nanqi is next to southern Xinjiang, but it may not be Nanqi who did it, isn't there still people from southern Xinjiang. Dew advised.
The imperial concubine shook her head and said, "It's useless, even if it wasn't done by Nanqi, it can't be separated from the palace." โ
The imperial concubine lowered her voice and said, "Dewdrop, others don't know, don't you know, there is a compatriot brother in this palace who is plotting to rebel." โ
"Is it King Ning?" Dewdrop's eyes widened in disbelief.
"How could it be? He wouldn't attack Western Qin, would he? Doesn't he want Nanqi?"
The imperial concubine said: "It's not clear whether it's his own palace now." But when Western Qin was attacked, the first object of suspicion was Southern Qi, the royal family of Southern Xinjiang had been destroyed, even if there were remnants, it would not become a big climate, and attacking Western Qin, I am afraid that I did not have that ability. In addition to the army of Southern Qi, there is only the secret power of King Ning. โ
"Niangniang, King Ning is a traitor of Nanqi, Niangniang, you are the rightful princess of Nanqi, and he has nothing to do with you for a long time. "The dew is in color.
King Ning is a thorn in the heart of the imperial concubine, if you don't pull it out, it will always pierce the heart, and if you pull it out, it will bleed.
"But others don't think so, Brother Huang won't, Your Majesty won't. "The imperial concubine knows very well that King Ning is not close to her, but in the eyes of the superiors, after all, they are brothers and sisters of the same mother, how can they be easily parted.
"Then do you want to send someone to find out what's going on in southern Xinjiang, you can't sit still. Dew said thoughtfully.
The imperial concubine pondered for a moment and said, "No, we can't make any moves. This palace does not have any power in Western Qin, and it cannot have any power, otherwise it will make His Majesty suspicious. โ
"What are you going to do, girl?" asked Dewdrop. It's definitely not okay to sit back and wait.
"Dewdrop, ask the small kitchen to prepare a bowl of ginseng soup, and the palace is going to the imperial study to greet Your Majesty. The imperial concubine commanded, her expression calm, "As long as it is not done by Nanqi, there will be nothing in this palace, and even if there is something in this palace, Yi'er will be fine." โ
Dew Zhu said hesitantly, "Then what if it was really Nanqi who did it?"
The voice of the dew drop was very low, and at this time she had to remind the imperial concubine that if it was really done by Nanqi, then she had to prepare early.
The imperial concubine sneered: "Even if it is done by Southern Qi, it must be done by King Ning, a traitor of Southern Qi, and there is no obstacle to diplomatic relations between the two countries." โ
Lu Zhu was shocked, and said, "Niangniang, you want to ......" Even if Nanqi did it, the imperial concubine must tell all the things in front of His Majesty and push it on King Ning.
The imperial concubine looked at the sky outside and said, "As long as the diplomatic relations between the two countries are still there, Yi'er will be fine, and what Yan'er promised will definitely keep Yi'er." โ

The Imperial Study
Emperor Xiqin looked at the imperial concubine who saluted below, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"The concubine greets Your Majesty. The imperial concubine smiled lightly, "The emperor has always gotten up recently, and the concubines are worried about His Majesty's dragon body, so they boiled ginseng soup, which is the most soothing for the nerves, please taste it." โ
Dew Drop behind the imperial concubine was carrying a basket in her hand.
Emperor Xiqin smiled: "The imperial concubine has a heart. โ
It's the imperial concubine, not the love concubine. In the past, Emperor Xi Qin had a lot of love for the imperial concubine, and he was called a concubine to show his favor, but now this title shows that Emperor Xi Qin has clearly annoyed her.
Dewdrop's heartbeat was slightly fast, she lowered her head, and she didn't show a little panic, she knew in her heart that as the maid brought by the imperial concubine from Southern Qi, if she was half flustered, it would make Emperor Xiqin suspicious.
Emperor Xiqin didn't ask the imperial concubine to get up, the imperial concubine seemed to be completely unconcerned, or as in the past, she stood up straight after blessing her body, took out the ginseng soup from the basket behind her, held it in both hands, and brought it to Emperor Xiqin.
"Your Majesty, although you are busy with government affairs, you must also pay attention to the dragon body, you should drink this ginseng soup first. The imperial concubine said with a smile, as gentle and virtuous as before.
Emperor Xiqin put down the fold in his hand, looked at this bowl of ginseng soup, and said with his eyes: "This ginseng soup was boiled by Concubine Ai herself?"
The imperial concubine hid her face and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't laugh at the concubine, it's not that you don't know that when the concubine was a princess in the past, her fingers didn't touch the spring water, and this ginseng soup really can't." โ
If other concubines must nod and say yes, and if they accidentally show some scars, they will be scalded when they boil ginseng soup, and Emperor Xiqin must be moved and pity. The imperial concubine is different, and generously admits that it is not, but it is a little more delicate.
Emperor Xiqin said with a smile: "I love the concubine Jin Zhi Yuye, you don't have to do it yourself, if you accidentally burn your hand, it's not good." โ
The imperial concubine took over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty still pities the concubines." โ
Emperor Xiqin beckoned and said, "Concubine Ai, don't stand, come and sit down beside me." โ
"Yes, the concubine obeys. The imperial concubine responded, and then sat down next to Emperor Xiqin.
"I still have some excerpts to criticize, concubine, you sit next to me for a while, and I will talk to you after I finish criticizing the excerpts. โ
Emperor Xiqin picked up the fold in front of him and continued to look at it, as if he didn't care whether the contents of the fold would be read by the imperial concubine.
Looking at the fold on her face, the imperial concubine knew that there must be a battle report from Southern Xinjiang in it, and would it be written that Southern Qi attacked the Western Qin border?
Sure enough, the second book of the book that Emperor Xiqin read clearly reads: The attack on the border of southern Xinjiang was done by the people of Southern Qi.
The imperial concubine looked calm and calm, and the Western Qin Emperor sat next to her, without feeling any nervousness from the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine did not move, which did not mean that the Western Qin Emperor would not suspect it, so the Western Qin Emperor's hand was crooked, and the fold was careless, and it fell right on the imperial concubine's knee, and the fold was facing upward, and the content inside fell directly into the eyes of the imperial concubine.
"What is written on this fold can't be true, right?" the imperial concubine picked up the fold, and her face changed greatly.
Emperor Western Qin was silent.
The imperial concubine hurriedly walked down, knelt down, straightened her body, and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, the concubine accidentally saw the content on the fold, this is an unintentional move by the concubine, ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." โ
Even if she knew that Emperor Xiqin deliberately let the imperial concubine see it, the imperial concubine still had to ask Emperor Xiqin for her guilt.
Emperor Xiqin waved his hand and said, "The imperial concubine didn't mean it, and I won't blame it." โ
I won't blame you for reading the excerpt, but the content of this excerpt is not so easy to pass.
The imperial concubine did not get up, kowtowed to Emperor Xiqin, and said respectfully: "The concubine has thanked Your Majesty." The concubines have already read the content of this fold, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but what is said on this fold, the concubines really can't believe it, and the concubines have the courage to speak. โ
Then the imperial concubine straightened her body and said loudly: "Your Majesty, for many years, the Western Qin and the Southern Qi have been friendly, since the concubines married into the Western Qin, there have been few wars between the two countries, and now the six princes of the Southern Qi are still interested in marrying the noble daughters of the Western Qin, and the two countries will be forever allied, how could the Southern Qi suddenly attack the border of the Western Qin?"
Emperor Xiqin narrowed his eyes and said, "But the facts are in front of you, what do you have to say, imperial concubine?"
The imperial concubine replied: "Although the concubine is a woman, but she also knows that the two countries are at war, she will send troops first, and then issue a war letter, and then attack the city.
Of course not!
Emperor Xiqin didn't say a word, just looked at the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine slowed down her voice and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know what happened on the border, the concubine admits that she is selfish, and the concubine has the blood of Nanqi on her body, which the concubine can't refute, if Your Majesty wants to condemn the crime, the concubine will never complain." โ
Emperor Xiqin laughed and said: "Look at the concubine who scares me, you are my imperial concubine, how can I condemn you." โ
The imperial concubine kowtowed to Emperor Xiqin: "Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding." โ
"Concubine Ai just said that the six princes of Southern Qi want to ask to marry my noble daughter of Western Qin, but is it true?"
The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, since the last time Your Majesty and the concubines talked about the six princes and the lord of Haoyue, the concubines have been interrogated for a long time, and finally Yan'er told the truth with the concubines, he really wants to ask to marry the lord of Haoyue." โ
Emperor Xiqin raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, why didn't you see the six princes talking to me?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know anything about this. The imperial concubine smiled lightly, "It is strange that the prince of Southern Qi is prolific and affectionate, and the father and brother of the concubine are not like this, and Yan'er inherited this characteristic of them, he said that it is a big deal to marry the lord of Haoyue, and he must not be careless, so it is necessary to present the letter of pro-country of Nanqi, so that the lord of Haoyue County can marry into Nanqi in a beautiful and upright manner." โ
The emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty had more infatuated lovers, and the Western Qin Emperor had also heard of it slightly, and the first emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty did not have a queen in his life, and the legend is that the first emperor of the Southern Qi Dynasty had fallen in love with a woman, but unfortunately he had no chance with the woman, so the position was vacant after his life. And the current Emperor of Southern Qi's beloved is indeed the deceased Empress Shengyuan, although she succeeded the Han family, but she is particularly favored by Princess Hua'an, the only daughter of Empress Shengyuan, and no prince can compare.
