Ten fingers slender picked up the hollow phoenix carving marigold next to her, and Queen Yang took a sip of tea, "Mama is right, this palace can't fall, if this palace falls, what should I do with Xuan'er?" In the past, I was just guarding against Qi Yu's son of a cheap servant, but I always ignored the son of a scumbag who behaved very cowardly, otherwise I wouldn't have been so careless last time to let him be beaten up. ”

opened her mouth, and in the end, Mama Yu still endured the idea of wanting to correct Queen Yang, anyway, there were only the two of them in this hall at this time, and it didn't matter.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is indeed very forbearing, and even you have hidden it from him, but at this time, there is nothing, doesn't he still show his true face after all."

"But I'm just afraid, will it be a little late?"

Once she calmed down, Empress Yang's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed a little gloomy. "The concubine and her old man are going to leave Jian'an with King Li in the near future and return to the fiefdom, Your Majesty for the sake of the concubine's heart, this crown prince's position must have an explanation before the concubine leaves. Time is running out these days. ”

Since the incident of Meng Qingchan, Empress Yang was hit hard by Qi Heng, the king of Qi, even now, Emperor Cheng has never come to Shuyi Hall again. And her requests to see her were all called back.

Empress Yang knew that she was ruthlessly calculated by Qi Heng this time, and Meng Qingchan's incident was probably a set for her from beginning to end, and she was overjoyed that this was a God-given opportunity, what can you do if you occupy the heir? What can you do if you are maintained by many old ministers as soon as you are born? Everything just shows that Ju'er was born to be the new master chosen by God.

The one in front of the road is not a climate. The one who chased after him was just the son of a. Then her Ling'er's entry into the East Palace is just a natural and logical thing.

But all those things that were taken for granted at the time can only make her more ridiculous at this time.

I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, she hadn't seen any strong winds and waves, but in the end it was planted in the hands of such a hairy boy? And everything was so coincidental that it was just in time for Concubine Meng to leave Jian'an?

Empress Yang clenched the cold hollow phoenix carving in her hand, her expression was cold, "Mama Yu, what about the eyeliner we sent to the Qi Palace?" How's it going now. ”

"Back to Niangniang, the news has been cut off a long time ago, and the few who just managed to sneak in a few days ago are now no news at all, and it is estimated that they have already been ........." At this point, there is no need to continue.

"Okay, very good, if you are not ruthless and not spicy, then how can this palace be trapped in the besieged city today?" Empress Yang laughed angrily, and there was a cold glow in her beautiful eyes, so that Mama Yu avoided her gaze.

"Mama Yu, let that move over there."

"Queen Mother!" Mama Yu was startled and looked up at Queen Yang, a little incredulous that she had just heard something.

"There's no time." But Empress Yang looked at the sky outside the window fixedly, and said in a somewhat ethereal tone without any room for maneuver: "If Qi Heng is really named the crown prince, then we will really .........."

"The Queen Mother."

But just when Empress Yang's voice became softer and softer, so light that Mama Yu couldn't hear it, a deep voice unique to a teenager that was clear but mixed with hoarseness suddenly rang in the ears of Empress Yang and Mama Yu.

"Jue'er!" Empress Yang and Mama Yu were both taken aback by Qi Jue who suddenly appeared, but Mama Yu's fright at this time was definitely different from that of Empress Yang.

Because Mama Yu's surprise is definitely less than joy, Queen Yang's words were about to be spit out when she saw Qi Ling, and no one knew how happy Mama Yu was.

"Jue'er, when did you come, why didn't you let people report it, the palace maids outside and the inner prisoner?"

After Empress Yang was stunned when she suddenly saw Qi Xuan, her eyes suddenly became gloomy.

"I hope that the queen mother will not blame others, it is the sons who ordered them not to come in and report in advance, otherwise they will all be dealt with as disrespectful, and I hope that the queen mother will not let the sons and daughters be untrustworthy."

Qi Ling also knelt in front of Empress Yang and saluted, but the young man's voice was unwavering.

"Okay, okay, what's the matter, hurry up." Empress Yang felt sorry for Qi Ling in the end, and seeing that he had been kneeling on the ground, she immediately ordered the little inner supervisor next to her to help Qi Ling up.

At this time, Qi Ling came, and what she had just said to Mama Yu naturally couldn't continue now, but Queen Yang's mind would not change, so after making a look like Mama Yu, she had to let Mama Yu, who was hesitant, go down.

"Queen Mother, if your son has something to make clear, Mama Yu should stay first." But just before Mama Yu turned around to leave, Qi Ling suddenly opened her mouth and left her behind.

"Xuan'er, just tell me something, I still have something for Mama Yu to do, don't mess around."

Empress Yang interrupted Qi Ling's words, and didn't want to let things continue to delay, now was not the time to calm down.

"After the queen of Qiyu, the sons did not mess around, after the last war in Shanhaiguan, the army was weak, and the father intended to start a large-scale recruitment."

Qi Ling made a big salute to Empress Yang again, and touched the ground lightly with his forehead, "According to the etiquette system, this kind of national system of recruiting soldiers must select one person from the clan to serve as the governor of the left guard, and as an example, he personally led the recruits to Shanhaiguan to garrison, and the sons are willing to ......... by example."

"That's enough."

But Qi Ling's words were still not finished after all, and they were all annihilated in the shattering sound of the hollow phoenix carving's cloisonné beaded marigold.

The ups and downs of Jian'an have never disappeared, it's just a matter of what role people play in it, and what is left for Queen Yang at this time is a sense of powerlessness that once again swells deep from the bottom of her heart.

The sunshine in the imperial capital of Xiyin is still brilliant and warm, and the dense branches and leaves between the plane trees and pine trees on both sides of the capital are passed through by bunches of golden threads, turning from subtle to thick pillars of light, and the hibiscus petals blown by the strong wind are all shrouded in layers of mist light. The sunlight shone through the dense green leaves on the bluestone bricks, and finally reflected a little golden light.

The scene of midsummer is gorgeous and warm, hot and gentle, but with the petals that have begun to wither, they have long been wordlessly explaining that summer is about to pass.

"It's about to start autumn, it's getting a little dark lately."

"Well, it's late in the morning, and when the eldest lady got up two days ago, the sky was still dark, and it seems that this sultry weather is about to come to an end." Desperately fanning the silk fan in his hand, Lirui really hoped that it would cool down quickly this day.

"You, you're just like our young lady, you're all looking forward to the end of this summer, but I don't like it, it's better to be hot than cold, isn't it? When the weather comes down, you'll know it's bitter. ”

In the evening, outside the pavilion in the front yard of the Lotus Pavilion, Qingzhu and Lirui sat on a large stone carved by the scenery to rest and cool, and in the small pavilion not far from them, Liang Cheng, Liang Yong and Liang Wu were sitting inside, because the space in the pavilion was really not large, so Qingzhu and Lirui did not have to wait inside.

"Don't eat any more." There was a snap, and a crisp thug sounded.

"Why!"

Immediately, the indignant voice shouted out aggrievedly, but Liang Cheng ignored it, just raised her eyebrows and looked at the empty Qinglian twining branch dish in front of her, and then looked at a certain little tiger with a smile, "Why?" What do you think it's for? ”

"Uh........." Liang Yong stiffened, and then haha: "No, no, since my sister won't let Yong'er eat it, then Yong'er won't eat it." ”

Liang Yong obediently hugged Liang Cheng and coquettishly, making Liang Cheng laugh and be speechless for a while, and then reached out and tapped the little man's forehead, "I will say it with my mouth, and I will forget it when I turn my head." ”

"Brother Yong'er, this is obedient."

And just when Liang Yongzheng was pretending to hold his head and was about to howl twice, he suddenly heard Liang Yong speak, and immediately looked at Liang Cheng with a small chest.

"Look at what you see, and if you look at it again, you won't be allowed to eat at night."

But it's really a mountain and a mountain high, Liang Yong didn't feel proud for a while, and was beaten back to his original form by Liang Cheng's words, "Don't look, don't look, sister, Yong'er went out to play." ”

If you can't beat it, you can run, Liang Yong ran out of the pavilion to play as soon as she slipped away, and the mothers outside the pavilion hurriedly followed, but after all, they were in the front yard, so even if Liang Yong ran fast, it didn't take long for them to be caught up by Guan's mother.

"Alas, obedient is really obedient, but it's just a little too weird." Liang Cheng looked at the little tiger who was mistreating outside the pavilion, and looked at Liang Cheng with some helplessness and smiled.

"Boy, if he doesn't be eccentric and mischievous, it will make people worry again, Brother Yong'er is very good like this. It's Brother Mao before, that's really worrying, like that kid's personality is so brutal, I haven't seen it in our Liang family, I once heard my father say that the eldest brother and the second brother were obedient when they were young, not to mention the fourth brother, but Brother Mao is so arrogant, I used to be very worried. ”

But then everything changed.

Thinking of those past events again, Liang Yuan's expression suddenly became cold, Liang Cheng saw this, how could she not know what happened, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Brother Mao'er's reply the day before yesterday has already arrived in Yingchuan, what did Brother Mao's reply to the eldest sister write?" After Yong'er got Brother Mao's reply the day before yesterday, she didn't let go after reading it over and over again for a long time. ”

"I got the letter, but I didn't say anything, probably just a healthy body, no need to worry about the words, but seeing Mao'er's handwriting, I am really relieved, after all, thousands of miles apart, even if I know that he will not have anything, but I will always think about him in my heart."

As soon as Liang Mao was mentioned, Liang Mao's expression suddenly softened, and Liang Cheng smiled when she saw it: "Yes, if Yong'er is also in Yanmeng City at this time, then I will be the same as the eldest sister." ”

The person who is concerned about it, as long as he is not around, he will not be at ease no matter what.

Liang Cheng pursed the corners of her mouth, and her amber pupils were shining, but she was soon attracted by Liang Yuan's words.

"By the way, Mao'er mentioned in Hsinchu that he may be able to set off from Yanmeng City around the end of September and return to Jian'an for the New Year's Festival. But I just don't know, where will we be then? Will we be in Yingchuan this year? ”

"Impossible." Liang Cheng shook her head with a deep groan, and said, "Anyway, by the end of the year, we will definitely have to go back to Jian'an, otherwise my grandfather's disappearance for too long will also cause some people to be uneasy." "It's like becoming an emperor.

"That's good, if you miss Mao'er by then, then I really don't know when we will be able to meet." Liang sighed softly.

Liang Mao is now studying in Yanmeng City, and Liang Wu and him can only meet once a year, which is not easy for Liang Wu or Liang Mao, who used to depend on each other.

"Don't worry about this, eldest sister, but it's another thing, have you noticed that your grandfather's mood is getting better and better recently?"

"I thought about it."

After Liang Wu looked around casually, she lowered her voice and said to Liang Yuan: "And I also found that there have been fewer stagecoaches coming and going back from Jian'an recently. ”

"Well, not only the stagecoach, but even the carrier pigeons and black eagles in Chuxi Jian have decreased a lot, and they have even changed back to once every five days before."

At this time, the wind was blowing softly outside the house, and the rustle of the leaves of the willows was gently echoing in the ears, like a clear stream of tinkling dongdong.

And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.

During the juvenile reign of Emperor Wen, a great war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this great war that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge and amaze the world - Liang Hu led the only 100,000 troops left in Xiyin at that time, repelled the wolf army of Houshu, and invaded Shu nearly thousands of miles away, forcing Houshu to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

At that time, although Xiyin was like a rainbow at that time, but in fact, the national strength was extremely weak, and it was really a fantasy to take advantage of this to annex Houshu. Emperor Wen knew this very well, so this war between the two countries provoked by Hou Shu first, and finally ended with Hou Shu's initiative to negotiate peace. After many unequal treaties were signed in Houshu and a prince was sent to Xiyin as a proton, the war was completely quelled.

As for the lord of Dongyu, it was at that time that he came with the proton.
