Yu Qiyao responded there half a month later.

At that time, Wanwan was squatting in front of the cage to feed her squirrel, and the copper ring came in to spread the word that Master Yu had arrived. She stood up and wiped her hands, and walked through the floor cover to the front hall.

Yu Qiyao stepped forward and waved his hand, "His Royal Highness ordered the ministers to investigate the troops in Xuzhou and other places that day, and the fans who were sent out came back last night, and the ministers came in early to tell His Highness." In addition to the manpower equipped by the yamen, the number of garrisons in each county exceeded the limit of the imperial court. According to Fanzi statistics, there are about 1,000 people in each place, and according to the 26 counties of Nanyuan's fiefdom, there are at most 26,000 people. ”

She went around the room and murmured, "Twenty-six thousand...... Coupled with the guards, border soldiers and sailors you explored in Jinling last time, all of them were kneaded together, about 50,000 people, right? ”

Yu Qiyao said, "Fifty thousand horses, only a little more." ”

"50,000 people, what can you do?" She frowned and clenched her fists, "Nanyuan is a vast area, and it is quite impressive to gather people in one place, but if it is scattered, it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of." What I am glad about now is that those people are not more than infantry and cavalry, and the land warriors are not afraid, but what I am afraid of is the 50,000 sailors. There are so many warships parked at the mouth of Xinjiangkou, if the water gets out of control and goes straight down to Tianjin, the capital will be in danger. ”

Yu Qiyao raised her eyes slightly, listening to her analysis of the use of troops and the battle line, she was so headed, she didn't look like a princess in the boudoir.

But in the end, he was selfish, he didn't take precautions one moment ago, and the next moment he relaxed again, and leaned on the Luodian cabinet lonely: "He told me last time, and I know that he is also for self-preservation." Nanyuan also has a me, and I will privately investigate the people in his hands. What about the other seven kings, who guarantees that they don't have a single soldier? ”

Yu Qiyao said, "Your Highness, don't worry for the time being, I have two million male soldiers, and even if the vassal king has 50,000, it is just a drop in the ocean, so there is no need to mind." It's just that I'm afraid ......."

Seeing that he hesitated, she told him to say that it was okay. He tucked his sleeves and said: "The Qi soldiers have a habit of farming in their spare time, which seems to be no different from ordinary people. So it's not clear how many troops the prince has. ”

She was stunned and said angrily: "You mean, let's check him, is it all useless work?" ”

Yu Qiyao showed a helpless expression, "That's true." But His Royal Highness doesn't have to think badly, maybe there are indeed so many people in the hands of the prince, and it is unknown. The minister still has to persuade His Royal Highness, there is an emperor in the court, whether it is war or peace, it is a man's business, His Royal Highness only needs to take care of himself. These two, one is your royal brother and the other is your horse, and you will always be safe in the future, no matter what. ”

She smiled, the corners of her mouth distorted, and probably shouldn't have been called a laugh.

"Safe and sound...... Inner flattery, do you really think so? There are no eggs under the nest, and no matter which one is damaged, it will be a catastrophe for me. What I want most is to maintain the status quo, how good it is now, I want to live a good life with the prince, and I want to have a child. I used to feel lonely, and I didn't want to come to the end so soon. ”

Tonghuan smiled on the side to relieve the siege, "Your Highness is really, the more you talk about it, the more you bluff people." You told me before that he could afford to have 50,000 soldiers and horses, but now this number is almost as far as you expected, why are you worried again? "Turning his head and blaming Yu Qiyao, "Lord Yu is too, don't lead His Highness to that head, there is no shadow, you will be scared out of illness by telling you to say a few words." I'm idle today, Lord Yu will accompany His Highness to kill two games, I will ask someone to move the chess table, sit under the window sill, there is wind. ”

Yu Qiyi listened and said hurriedly, "It's the minister who is reckless, and he said this in front of His Highness." ”

Wanwan shook her head, "People say that being confused is a good thing, and being confused is blessed, I don't think so." I'd rather understand all the time and not panic when it comes. She smiled, "The emperor's family is like this, donkeys don't fall on the shelf." There is a word called calmly to die, and you have to die with grace and grace, which is the admonition left by the ancestors. ”

The people in the room actually had an indescribable smell when they listened. She attaches great importance to the country, but the emperor's rule is cynical. Sometimes Tonghuan also persuaded her, but her words left her speechless, "In the Murong family's life, there is only one of us left, and my brother's country can't be kept, how can it be passed on to the children below?" I'm not for him, I'm for Murong. My son will be a minister to those princes in the future, and I will naturally have to be a minister to my brother. ”

Everyone has a belief in their hearts, and believing for too long has become an obsession, and her worries about the country and the people have been even worse after she has been to Huaining. Daye has become like this, which is far from the prosperity of the founding of the country. Children and grandchildren can't keep the ancestral inheritance, how can they have the face to recognize the door in the future!

I don't want to play Go, and I don't have to set the chessboard. She said that she was not interested today, "I saw that the lotus flowers in the pond were blooming a lot, so I went there to enjoy the lotus." ”

Yu Qiyi bowed and retreated, she went to the mirror and removed her head, took a gorse hairpin and curled her hair, and went to the lake alone.

It's almost June, and the weather is getting hotter day by day, and it's impossible to go out when the sun is on. This was her first summer after coming to Jiangnan, and the climate in the south was indeed clearer than in the north. Fortunately, there is a long corridor on the lake, and the top of the corridor is covered with straw, and she is holding a fishing rod to find a place to bait, feeling the wind running into the bottom of the skirt, and the cool breeze on the lake is a good place to cool off.

She is different from those girls who are "timid and cold, don't rely on the fence", when others play swings and grass, she would rather fish and catch crabs. She has a strong body and bones, and she has tried twice to not be afraid of the cold, so after the lake is freshly cooked, she dares to eat it with sauce. Last time she was eating crabs, she was seen by Lan Zhou, and she belched in a fuss, "How dirty this thing is"! She glared at him resentfully, and said that this child couldn't speak, and she had several of them in her stomach, and he said that it was dirty, and it was clear that he didn't give face.

She pushed the remaining two in front of him, "I caught it myself, there is no third in the world." It's better to come by chance than to come well, reward you, you eat. ”

Lan Zhou is a strange child, he doesn't like to eat this kind of thing, but when he heard that there is no third one in the world, he quietly glanced at her, "Enie didn't give Ama Liu?" ”

She shook her head, "You Ama won't let me fish, tell the cook what you want to eat." What I bought at the market was as delicious as I caught it myself! She broke one open and pointed to Huang'er inside, "Look at how strong it is!" ”

Lan Zhou knew that the essence of the crab was on Huang'er, so he carefully picked it into her plate, "My son eats his body, and Enie eats this." But be careful, this kind of thing is cold, so it's better to eat less. ”

The children are like old masters, and she also lamented that this child is pitiful, he has almost no childhood, and he has been regarded as an adult since he was sensible, and life in the palace is as difficult as in the palace.

He ate crabs, and ate them gently, and he was a little scared at first, but then he seemed to taste them, and said with a smile: "The next time I go back to Enie, I will call my son, and when the time comes, my son will catch crabs, and Enie will untie the net on the side." ”

Her unique hobby of crab fishing was known by Liangshi, there were few crabs in the lake, it was difficult to fish, in order not to ruin her fun, she bought ten baskets from outside and poured them into the lake, so that the moon rose at night, and the lake was full of the sound of rustling crabs.

Alas, putting aside those unsatisfactory things, in fact, her life is really good. Being a person should be content, she often thinks if she is too serious to make herself so tired?

She sat down in the shade, her skirt thin and delicate, and she was blown into the water by the wind, unaware of it. She has a trick up her sleeve when fishing for crabs, and she hangs the pork liver on a rope, because she usually doesn't need to change the bait because she eats it. She spent time on the lake, looking at the flowers and leaves all over the lake, and her heart was very peaceful, and she could forget about those unhappy things for a while.

Crabs are stupid, they don't have brains, they don't care about their safety when they catch food, and they bite big. When the water is put on the mouth of the bucket, it can't be shaken, so it has to be pulled hard. Wanwan just dragged one down, Xiao You trotted all the way to her, holding a letter and saluting it: "Grandpa misses you again." ”

Or the emperor's sister opened it herself, Wanwan opened the letter to read, first presented a poem, the literary brilliance is flying, there is no sense of carving, it is the emperor's recent alchemy experience. Next, he said how much he misses his sister, who is thousands of miles away from Beijing, and I don't know if she is in good health now. In two days, it will be the death day of my mother, and in previous years, the two brothers and sisters worshiped together, but this year there is only one brother, and I feel lonely. If my sister is willing, I can go back to Beijing to live for a while, and I can talk about the friendship between brothers and sisters. My brother recently found the second spring, and he tasted the taste of love, so much so that he wanted to make that person the queen, and he was afraid that his sister would be unhappy, and wanted to hear his sister's idea. Looking down further, he finally wrote that the person who made him feel like a spring breeze was none other than the original maidservant of Yinlou, who was later married by the Queen Mother and married Xiao Duo's Tongyun.

Wanwan was so frightened that she sweated, was stunned for a long time, and threw the letter into the water in anger.

It's really getting more and more ridiculous, she knows that he has a problem with liking his little daughter-in-law, and it's better to fall in love with Yinlou before, after all, she occupies a single position, which is used for burial. Now I have a crush on Tongyun again, the family is nominally the family of the eunuch, Xiao Duo fought for him in the Ryukyus, he dug people in the corner of the wall in the rear, this reputation spreads, so what's the point?

She straightened her breath, her face changed, Xiao You looked at the letter in the water, the ink was open, and dark clouds floated on the peach blossom paper.

"What's wrong with the master? Did the emperor do something out of the ordinary again? ”

Tears rolled in her eyes, "This time, he likes Tongyun again." ”

Xiao You stuck out his tongue, "Tongyun who gave Xiao Zhangyin as food?" Why do you always love to snatch Xiao's palm prints, one time is not enough to pay back twice? Suddenly, he had a whim, "Actually, what the emperor likes is Xiao's palm print, right?" If you don't keep doing anything with him, you want him to pay attention. ”

This sentence forced Wanwan's tears back, and she scolded her with a smile: "Full of nonsense, let them hear it, and they can't pull out your tongue!" Yan sighed, "How good, my brother is really a fire." If he is at ease to be an idle prince, he should have a good life for the rest of his life...... I'm anxious for him here, and he's been thinking about this all day, and he's asking me what I mean, so what should I say? ”

As a result, the crab stopped fishing, and returned to the study sadly, and wrote back to him after studying ink, saying that he also missed the imperial brother very much, and respectfully asked the imperial brother to be blessed with Jin'an. If you want to make Tongyun the queen, this matter must not be discussed. The humble body is not the right place. Besides, she has a family, not a woman who has no owner outside, and the officials will cry in the temple and cry for the ancestors. Brother Huang waits for a while, you can re-select and pick out a good girl from the poetry family to canonize the queen. Wouldn't it be nice to have a tacit understanding spiritually, and to sing poems with the royal brother in the future?

The letter has been sent, but I don't know if I can persuade it or not. She understands his temper, once she cares about something, if she can't do it today, she will have to do it tomorrow. Sometimes she will inevitably be discouraged, what's the use of having enough of her heart, she doesn't care about being in power, she just grinds herself into powder, and she can't save the world.

Fortunately, when he was good, he was different from him, regardless of those soldiers and horses, as a husband, he was at least single-minded.

Whether a person is really affectionate towards you can feel it. There are so many temptations outside, and she also makes her heart. He is constantly entertaining in officialdom, what is Qinhuai River? The warbler sings and dances, a place of drunken gold. In that winding river, I don't know how much rouge gouache has been precipitated, when the lights are first on, the painting boat is lit up on all sides, and the wine is chaotic. She sent someone to keep an eye on him secretly, whether his character is good or not, and he will see the truth on the Fengyue field. As a result, Fanzi's reply did not disappoint her, and it is said that someone did accompany her when drinking, but it was an embellishment, and it was harmless. The officials had several times the yellow soup in their stomachs, and the wandering wreckage looked like no one, and the prince paid for the night stay for them, and then went back to the house by himself. She knew what was going on, and he went back to her room and slept peacefully beside her. When she was thirsty during the night, he poured her water. She kicked the quilt and he would cover it for her. Such a thoughtful sleeping is much better than the palace maid going to the night.

She was in a lawsuit and decided to wait for him at the door of the mansion. I saw a sedan chair coming from the alley from a distance, and after stopping, he went up to open the curtain, and when he got off the sedan chair, his face was not good, and he complained that the sedan chair was unstable, and he hummed into the door on the other hand.

As soon as he got angry, she was a little scared, feeling like Lan Zhou, and she was still very afraid of him. He was hesitating to meet her next to the door, but suddenly he saw her, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly became gentle, and he hurried over.

"Why are you here?" He grabbed her hand, and his tone couldn't hide his surprise.

She said, "I'm not happy today and want to see you sooner." Aren't you happy too? ”

He was calm, "Yes before, now I have forgotten." When asked why she was upset, she hesitated and finally said she wanted to eat dried tofu and duck tongue soup.

He was very refreshing, took off his hat and threw it to Rong Bao, pointed to the north: "Huowa Lane has everything, what you like to eat, I'll take you there." ”

Since the last trip to Huaining, she has not been out of the house, the concubine said that it is not safe outside, to go out until the good time is there, but he has been very busy, she had to run to the lake to fish for crabs to pass the time. Today was a coincidence, he was going to take her out and make her happy. She pursed her lips and smiled when she was happy, but the warm warmth flowed from the corners of her eyes, which was very sweet and beautiful.

There are cultural differences between the north and the south, Beijingers are accustomed to calling narrow and long streets hutongs, while Nanjingers are accustomed to calling them alleys. Huowa Lane is not as good as Beijing's deep hutongs of flowers, but the snacks are a must. Dried tofu should actually be called stinky tofu, it tastes so bad, but it tastes very fragrant. There is also duck tongue soup, Xiao You once bought it once, she tasted it, and felt that this taste was the taste in her memory in her previous life, and she would never forget it after eating it.

The two of them found a corner to sit down and concentrate on eating. Because of the hot weather, he sweated, he played a fan with one hand and silently fanned her back. She was full, burped, and blushed. Soon he hiccuped and smiled at her, indicating that everyone was the same.

They went to the ghost market, but unfortunately there were too many people who knew him, and when they looked at her, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Wanwan lost the strength of the private interview in Weifu, pulled his sleeve and said go back, and he would come out in disguise another day.

The two of them walked slowly in the night, and he was still worried about her unhappiness, and asked why. Wanwan thought about it, and expected that the emperor's undisguised idea would be announced to the world sooner or later, so she mentioned Tongyun to him.

He was also surprised, "Tongyun is Xiao Duo's wife's room, even if it is in name only, it is still the Ming Media who is marrying, so I'm afraid it's not good." ”

She sighed, and asked her what to say, who called her brother that good mouthful.

"What about you? What was the reason for the previous upset? ”

He only said that it was nothing, there would always be some small problems at the junction of the various domains, and it had been like this all these years, so she didn't have to worry, he could handle it.

"But yesterday I drank with the king of Chengdu, and there were always people staring at me in the dark, I don't know why." When he walked to Guangyi Street, he stopped and looked at her with a smile, "Guess who the person who probed on my whereabouts is?" ”

Wanwan's heart was beating suddenly, and she naturally wanted to pretend to be confused, "It must be someone who is kind, afraid that you will drink too much, and is ready to send you back." ”

"But I know that he entered the palace and talked to Yu Qiyao."

When she saw that her deeds were revealed, she couldn't quibble anymore, and muttered: "It's me...... I'm afraid you've drunk too much. ”

"Afraid that I'll be drunk and sexual?" He smiled meaningfully, "If I am such a person, do I need to wait for two months after the wedding?" At that time, I thought about it, and now ......," he pressed his hand on her lower abdomen, "my son is already inside." ”
