In fact, although Tu Manzhen's temperament is very different from her, the two of them have received the same teaching in their bones.

It's just that Tu Manzhen was more fortunate than her, and met Liu Qiran, who treated her sincerely and was willing to turn back for her prodigal son.

Seeing that she was puzzled, Tu Manzhen didn't force it. secretly made up his mind in his heart, and asked Liu Qiran to check this Wang Leyu carefully. If there is anything wrong, she will not feel at ease to hand over the eldest sister to him.

The cold breeze is swishing outside, and the room is warm. A pair of pretty sisters, snuggling up on the Luohan bed, eating snacks, chatting about some topics of interest to women, and from time to time there was a sound of laughter.

The years are quiet and happy.

……

However, the capital on this day was not peaceful.

With the outbreak of Guan Jinghuan's case, countless courtiers and nobles were involved. The air in Beijing suddenly pressed to the extreme, and people closed their doors and talked about the future of the situation.

Seeing the defeat in the north, the new imperial army has not yet landed, but Caishikou first beheaded the Guan family and the two important marquis.

Ignorance brings fear and speculation, and if this pressure is not relieved, sooner or later it will change.

Emperor Qinglong was in the deep palace, overlooking Luoyang City with a sick and weak body, controlling the overall situation, and retracting freely.

Late at night, Wu Zhengxiang came out of the palace.

The emperor's purpose has been achieved, and the whole layout has come to an end.

……

Early the next morning, a new Northland military situation came out of the palace. This time, the news is diametrically opposed to the last time.

Great victory in the Northland, great victory!

The king of Qi set up a bureau to lure the Bajia rebels into the net, beheaded eight generals led by Ba Kunlin, captured more than 40,000 rebels, and is now recovering lost territory in the north. In a few days, the class teacher will return to the court.

As soon as this news came out, the whole city was boiling.

The pent-up emotions that had been suppressed in Kyori were ignited, and the excited faces of people could be seen on the streets.

They talked, talked, rejoiced, rejoiced.

Those who had men serving in the army were even more overjoyed and burst into tears.

Of course, the discrepancies between the military situation before and after are not unsuspecting. In this regard, Wu Zhengxiang has already gone out, and in the places where the flow of people in Luoyang City is relatively concentrated, there are also teahouses and restaurants, and they will explain the most suspicious points one by one.

Well, the reasons are ready-made.

The people of the cavalry guard interpreted the news of the defeat in the north as a design by the prince, pretending to be invincible and luring the rebels of the Ba family to be fooled, so that they could be captured in one fell swoop.

Due to the distance, misdelivery of messages often occurs, and it is well accepted by everyone.

Plus, the news of victory is always easier for people to accept than defeat. In such a high atmosphere, some doubts have long been forgotten.

On this day, people spontaneously poured into the streets to celebrate, and those who knew and did not know each other were smiling, drinking and feasting.

In the palace, Empress Cao put on the queen dress of Chaohe and went to the Xuanzheng Hall to congratulate Emperor Qinglong.

"The concubines congratulated the emperor on his victory in the north. "Queen Cao bowed down.

"Hua Ying, please get up. Emperor Qinglong's tone revealed a bit of intimacy.

It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, even the emperor is no exception, and Emperor Qinglong's complexion is much better than a few days ago.

It's just that it's not because of the great victory in the north, but because yesterday, the moths in the court were swept away.

This time, the layout was ordered by Emperor Qinglong to be executed by Wu Zhengxiang, and Empress Cao did not know about it. While managing the palace affairs, she was worried about the illness of the emperor and the queen mother, and at the same time worried about her son who lost the war.

In just a few days, she looked much thinner. It wasn't until today that she heard that the crown prince had beheaded the enemy, and her eyes regained their brightness.

Emperor Qinglong looked at her with some guilt in his heart.

In order to fulfill her wishes, she left Jiang Bingwei in this dormitory regardless of the rules. And herself, for the sake of the overall situation, made her worry.

He held out his hand to her and said, "Come, sit beside me." ”

Empress Cao stepped forward, sat on the phoenix chair beside Emperor Qinglong, and said, "Emperor Shengming, when the affairs of the north are over, the people can also have a good year with peace of mind." ”

She knew Emperor Qinglong, and at this time, she did not ask for credit for her son, nor did she mention the hard work of the soldiers, but only mentioned the common people living in the Gaomang Dynasty.

Sure enough, Emperor Qinglong's smile deepened, and he said: "What the queen said is that as long as you have no worries about food and clothing, you can have a good year, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." ”

glanced at Empress Cao and said, "It's all up to you to give birth to a good son." Otherwise, after Feng Mingxian, he doesn't know who to hand over the country to inherit.

Empress Cao smiled slightly and said, "Mingsheng is the emperor's son and the prince of Gaomang. ”

After coming out of the Xuanzheng Palace, Empress Cao went directly to Yanqing Palace.

Just after stepping down in front of the palace gate, Mama Ding greeted her. "The Queen Mother guessed that you were coming, so she sent an old slave to wait here. Sure enough, the mother is here. ”

Empress Cao smiled: "Her old man is always like a god. Then I asked the Empress Dowager Xiao about her diet, I ate a few bowls of rice yesterday and got up a few times at night.

Mama Ding replied one by one and said, "Today, the Queen Mother is in the best spirits, and she also used an extra bowl of rice porridge for breakfast, and the old slave was happy to see it." ”

"It's all thanks to Mama's dedication. Queen Cao said this, and Shanmei, who was following her, took out a purse and put it in Mama Ding's hand.

Because Empress Dowager Xiao is afraid of the cold, Yanqing Palace is warmer than other places all year round.

It's winter, but the temperature inside is enough to make the flowers bloom. In addition to the earth dragon, there are also heating measures such as stoves in the palace, and the palace people who serve inside only wear thin spring shirts.

Empress Cao paused, took off her silver fox fur cloak at the door, and heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.

"Early this morning, Concubine Xian and Concubine De are here. Princess Chunhe, Master Pony, and Prince An are all inside. ”

Mama Ding saw what she was thinking and took the initiative.

Empress Cao smiled lightly, Concubine Xian and her family were all there, presumably Concubine De should be unhappy again.

Entering the door, Empress Dowager Xiao sat on the main seat, her eyebrows were kind and smiling. If you don't look closely, you can't see that she has been sick for so long.

As soon as she entered the door, except for Empress Dowager Xiao, who was still seated, everyone else got up.

"The victory in the north, the daughter-in-law congratulates the queen mother. She made a great salute, folded her hands above her head, and then slowly fell down and touched the ground with her forehead.

"Good boy, get up. Mama Ding stepped forward to help Queen Cao up, and everyone saluted her again.

After that, he sat down again. She sat in the position closest to Empress Dowager Xiao, and everyone moved one position in turn.

While the daughter-in-law was still outside, she heard laughter inside. Empress Cao smiled: "I'm afraid I'm disturbing everyone's interest when I come like this." ”

Concubine Fu Xian covered her mouth and smiled: "How come? The concubines are all looking forward to the mother here." ”

was preempted by her, Concubine Shi De hated it in her heart, and hurriedly echoed with a smile on her face.
