Chen Houyun didn't notice that his steps were a little lighter, and his smile was extraordinarily kind.

Mrs. Chen once quietly left Chen Houyun to speak for a while, and after coming out, her face was radiant, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never went.

Chen Houyun nodded to the few people present, and left with Master Chen.

"Chengfang, lead your sister and brother to the small garden to step on the snow." Mrs. Chen's words made several children cheer, thanked Mrs. Chen, and couldn't wait to run out, making happy frolicking sounds all the way.

Lord Mingjia swept his eyes and asked, "Mother, is there any happy event in the family?" You are so happy! ”

Mrs. Chen glanced at her with disgust and said, "Shouldn't I be sad if there is no happy event?" ”

"Of course not." Lord Mingjia hurriedly smiled: "I mean, my mother used to hurt a few small ones, but I was reluctant to let them step on the snow outside and get frozen." ”

As a grandmother, I always feel that children can't stand a little cold, and they can't stay up a little hot.

Mrs. Chen said angrily: "I am a doting but unpopular old man...... Mingjia, did you quietly let the children play crazy outside behind my back? Having said that, there was not much blame in her words, and she said, "Although it is gloomy today, there is no wind. Children are not afraid of the cold, but of the cold wind. ”

Lord Mingjia laughed with him.

Shen Rouning said with a smile: "Mother, yesterday my cousin said that the Xixia grassland was hit by a heavy snowstorm, and he sent envoys to ask for help everywhere in the capital. ”

Mrs. Chen hadn't spoken yet, and Lord Mingjia heard the two of them. Thinking of Chen Houji, he hurriedly asked, "Is there such a thing?" Sister-in-law, tell me in detail, if Daqing refuses to help them, they will come to rob them? ”

Because of Chen Houji's wish or the reason why the lord of Mingjia has been dissatisfied with it many times in private and said that it is "obsession", the lord of Mingjia has been paying attention to the movements of Western Xia over the years. If she is looking forward to the war, she is worried about Chen Houji's safety, after all, there are no eyes on the battlefield, and any accident can happen; If you want to be peaceful all the time, but Chen Houji is not willing to come back like this......

"Will there be a fight?" Mrs. Chen also asked.

It's about her son. She certainly wouldn't be unconcerned.

Shen Rouning shook her head: "It's still inconclusive." Said cousin. Most of the ministers did not want to fight, and wanted to take the opportunity to force Western Xia to become a vassal state, ceding interests, seeking fame and profit, and if they started a war, they were afraid that the military salaries paid would not be recovered, and the gains outweighed the losses; The generals naturally want to fight, like the second brother. Looking forward to making contributions. In the end, it depends on who wins......"

My cousin said. Xixia sent a prairie beauty to the palace. Maybe as soon as the wind blows on this pillow, as soon as the emperor speaks, the matter will be decided. Shen Rouning said with a smile.

Lord Mingjia didn't have such a relaxed mind as Shen Rouning. She frowned and thought for a moment. said: "Mother, it's about my husband, I want to go back to the palace to find out the prince's tone." ”

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said, "Then you go quickly." It doesn't matter if you take the child back to live for a while, but if there is any news, you must send someone back to tell us as soon as possible. ”

"I'll go back as soon as I go, and I won't take my two children with me." Mingjia County Main Road.

She is asking about serious things, with children, which is a little inconvenient.

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Lord Mingjia brought the children back, explained to them, and asked Mrs. Chen and Shen Rouning to take care of them, and then hurried back to the palace.

After she left, Mrs. Chen looked at Shen Rouning and said softly: "I'll watch the children put them here, you go back." When it's cold, keep warm. ”

Just now she knew from Chen Houyun that Shen Rouning's small days had exceeded ten days, and most of them were happy. Mrs. Chen wanted to ask the doctor to come over to check the pulse, but Chen Houyun persuaded her that it was not easy for this child to come, so don't be frightened first...... And the time is too short, and the diagnosis is not accurate, so it is better to wait a while...... Mrs. Chen knew at this time that she would let a few children make trouble with Shen Rouning.

Shen Rouning is very popular with several children.

Shen Rouning also felt a little tired, so she nodded and said, "That mother, I'll go back first." Sometimes things happen when you make people call me. ”

Mrs. Chen watched her leave, her eyes fell on Chen Chengfang, who was flipping through the picture book with Xinyue, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This child, too...... She stopped her thoughts, hugged Chen Chengfu in her arms, and said to Chen Chengfang: "Your mother has painted so many painting books for you, Chengfang must honor her well in the future." ”

"The undertaker must be filial." Chen Chengfang was busy and seriously assured.

Outside the main courtyard.

Zhang's mother suddenly appeared, startling the two who were talking.

These two people, one is Doulu, who is already married, and the other is Yuexiang, who has always expressed her reluctance to marry and is still serving by Chen Chengfang's side.

Mother Zhang looked at the two of them unhappily, and said coldly: "Doulu is here to see the eldest young master?" Since you're here, why don't you go in and talk, and it's comfortable to eat cold air outside? Or is there anyone in this house who doesn't allow you to see the eldest young master? ”

Doulu's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "No, Mother Zhang......"

Under Mother Zhang's fierce eyes, Doulu couldn't help but have some expectations, and only after a while did he grit his teeth and say: "It was Old Madam Huang who gave me some silver, so that I must come in secretly to see how the eldest young master lives......

"The eldest young master is the eldest young master of the Hou Mansion, can there be anyone in this Hou Mansion who bullied him!" Mother Zhang said coldly, stared at Yuexiang again, and said, "Tell me!" What can't be said openly, but sneaky! ”

Yuexiang lowered her head and didn't dare to speak.

Dou Lu hurriedly explained: "Mother Zhang, it was Mrs. Huang who was seriously ill and worried about her grandson, so she became suspicious. Yuexiang has been persuading me just now, so don't blame Zhang's mother. ”

Mother Zhang snorted coldly, frowned and asked, "Is it really Mrs. Huang who is seriously ill?" Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

"Yes." Dou Lu said: "I'm very sick, I heard that I can't survive this winter." ”

This news made Zhang's mother dare not slack off.

"You two come in with me. Wait at the eldest young master's side. Zhang's mother commanded.

She placed Doulu and hurriedly walked into the side hall of the main room. He whispered in Mrs. Chen's ear. Mrs. Chen was stunned after hearing this, and said, "Then let Doulu not be busy." In a moment, I accompanied Cheng Fang to meet her. ”

Zhang's mother went out in response.

Mrs. Chen continued to play with the children. It wasn't until after lunch that he ordered someone to send Xinyue and Chengfu back to Mingguang Temple, leaving Chen Chengfang, hesitated, and said, "Chengfang, do you remember your mother?" ”

"Mother?" Chen Chengfang didn't react, and said busily: "Mother, what's wrong with her?" Mrs. Chen's expression was a little serious, which made Chen Chengfang suddenly a little flustered.

"Not your current mother." Mrs. Chen said softly, "It's your biological mother, Huang." It's the mother on the portrait you worship during the New Year's holidays. She couldn't help but sigh again in her heart: For Chen Chengfang, Shen Rouning is the mother who gives him gentle care and care. And the one on the portrait is probably a symbol that doesn't have much meaning.

Even from the time he was three years old. was told that he actually had another mother, who also followed his portrait of Huang...... But Chen Chengfang, who is too young, can't understand the difference at all.

Or. Even if it is understood. And stubbornly don't care about the portrait. Instead, he was more attached to Shen Rouning.

"Oh." Chen Chengfang was stunned for a moment, relaxed, and became a little careless. I didn't even ask questions.

"Chengfang, your mother's mother, that is, your grandmother, is very sick...... Mrs. Chen asked people to summon Doulu over, and after asking some questions, she asked Doulu to go down and said to Chen Chengfang: "You also heard it just now." She wants to meet you, so get ready. ”

Chen Chengfang's eyes showed some repulsion, and said, "Do you have to go?" ”

He didn't like the Huang family's grandmother very much. He still vaguely remembered that when she came to see him last year, she kept crying in front of him, as if he had made an unforgivable mistake, which made her feel very uncomfortable and instinctively wanted to escape.

Mrs. Chen sighed lightly, hugged Chen Chengfang, and said, "That's your blood relative's grandmother." It makes sense that you should meet her. Perhaps, this is the last side. ”

"Then I'll listen to my grandmother." Chen Chengfang said in a low voice.

Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and said, "Your mother loves you. It's just that she died too early, so she can't always take care of you growing up...... Your grandmother also loves you in her heart. The reason why she will cry when she sees you sad is that she is afraid that you will be wronged without your mother's care. Because she feels sorry for you, she will cry. ”

"Grandmother, I have my mother to take care of!" Chen Chengfang suddenly became fierce and said loudly: "My mother doesn't hurt me anymore!" I have my mother to take care of! He said so violently that he cried for some reason.

Mrs. Chen was distressed for a while, patted him, and said, "Of course, of course Chengfang has a mother." Your mother loves you, no less than your second aunt loves the crescent...... Chengfang, you have to remember your idea today, and don't forget it in the future, you know? ”

Chen Chengfang kept nodding his head while crying.

……

Qianqing Palace.

At the beginning of the snowfall, although there was no sun, the sky was not very gloomy. It's the afternoon time.

In the dormitory of the Qianqing Palace, on the incomparably noble huge dragon bed, through the bright yellow curtains, you can faintly see that a well-built woman is constantly galloping up and down, as if she is riding a horse and running on the grassland!

Undisguised moans and confusion echoed in the inner sanctuary, and even the well-informed female officials were hot and pretty, and their faces were crimson, and they couldn't cover their ears and didn't dare to listen more.

The steppe barbarians, sure enough, are not ashamed!

Look at her like that, who can believe that she is the first time to Cheng Huan! Sure enough, she was born to be a slut!

Several female officials were thinking nonsense, and when they saw the eunuch signaling them to come out, one of the female officials nodded to the others and walked out quietly.

"The slave and maid greet the prince." When the female official saw the people outside the palace, she hurriedly saluted.

King Ying asked in a deep voice: "Is it inconvenient for the emperor?" ”

"Master Jane is inside." The female officer replied in a low voice.

The grassland pearl is said to be the daughter of a big clan leader in Western Xia, and her status on the grassland is equivalent to that of the county lord, but if she is sent to the palace like this, the queen will not be kind enough to take the initiative to give her a ceremonial title. The female officer can only be called that first.

Ying Wang bowed his head and said, "Go in and serve." When he looked up at the sky, he looked at the dark figure that was slowly coming, his face was calm, and there was no trace of waves.

"Uncle Wang." King An glanced at the statue in the hall and said, "The emperor is inconvenient? Is Uncle Wang in a hurry to find the emperor? ”

"The matter of Western Xia is not an urgent matter." King Ying did not continue to stay in the Qianqing Palace, and walked towards the Xuanhe Hall in front. King An naturally followed him, nodding as he walked: "The Xixia people are anxious, and there is really no need for us in Daqing to be anxious." Uncle Wang, today the envoy of Western Xia found his nephew and sent a large box of treasures...... The nephew wants to ask, what does Uncle Wang mean in his heart? ”

"What do you think?" King Ying asked casually.

King An said in a deep voice: "If the wolf son of Xixia is ambitious, the nephew wishes to be on the front line of the frontier!" If he couldn't start a war, his nephew privately thought that this time he must take the opportunity to rip off the wealth of Western Xia a few layers! Especially their horses, since they are destined to freeze to death and starve to death on the grassland, it is better to give us Daqing and strengthen my monarchy! ”

"My nephew is only afraid that there are pedantic people in the court, taking the offerings of the people of Daqing, to nourish foreign enemies for a little hypocritical so-called great country morality!" He glanced back at the Qianqing Palace, and the meaning was self-evident.

The most afraid is that the emperor of this Daqing will make a foolish promise because of the beauties!

King Ying was silent for a moment when he heard this, looked up at the sky, and sighed lightly: "How many years have there been no wars...... I don't know if the iron-blooded soldiers in Daqing can still hold knives and guns? ”

This is the tendency to go to war!

King An's heart sank, and he said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry! My nephew was ordered to inspect the barracks this spring, and all my Daqing soldiers are fierce and bright, and they are eager to make meritorious contributions! ”

King Ying nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

The pearl of the grassland was named a concubine by the emperor and was very favored.

Within two days, the emperor got up early to go to court and summoned the Western Xia envoys. The envoys of the Western Xia seized this rare opportunity, and said the current situation of the Western Xia was extremely miserable with tears in their eyes, just waiting for the Son of Daqing to show mercy and save tens of thousands of Li people!

“…… I, Xixia, am willing to serve Daqing as the country of heaven, voluntarily abdicate the throne, and ask the Son of Heaven to canonize the king of Xixia! ”

Emperor Qingping was originally in response to the beauties' request, and it was nothing to feel that the Daqing country was rich and the people were strong to help the Western Xia, but at this time I heard that the Emperor of the Western Xia was not even the emperor, but changed to the King of the Western Xia...... Such an achievement is enough for Emperor Qingping to leave a heavy mark in the history of Qingping, not losing to his father, and being praised by future generations!

It's just some food and clothing, and you can have such a harvest!

This Western Xia is also simple!

Just like Concubine Zhen said, it really won't make it difficult for me to do it!

Emperor Qingping suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart, sat on the high dragon chair, and said: "Since Xixia sincerely asks for help, if I don't help Daqing, I will lose the demeanor of a great country." Let's play it on the spot! After that, he couldn't help but look at King Ying. (To be continued.) )
