In the past three years, the army of Liao and the army of Daliang have confronted each other on the border of Liaozhou, and no one has refused to take a step beyond Lei Chi.

After three years of this situation, there was finally a breakthrough - the general Ying and a small group of soldiers under the command of the Great Liang Dragon and Tiger disappeared while patrolling, and the Great Liang people claimed to have been ambushed and killed by the Liao.

At present, Emperor Qingping of Liang led four generals LinkedIn He, Xue Ying, Yuming, and Lan Yun to personally march to Liaozhou, and the war was about to break out.

When Emperor Ping of Qing arrived at the border of northern Liao, he ordered his army to build fortifications and prepare for war.

At the same time, Qin Yushun of the Jade Star Department escorted 200 red-clothed cannons to Liaobei and put them on the battlefield.

The Liang Chen soldiers were millions of tigers eyeing the majestic army, but the Liao State fell into civil strife at this time.

The crown prince's entire family was destroyed in the fire, and the crown prince's foreign family, the Xiao family, immediately elected the second prince Yeluhan, who was also from the Xiao family.

The state affairs were urgent, and Emperor Tianhao had no other heirs, so he ignored the obstruction of the queen Xiao Yunzhu and set up the second prince Yeluhan as the crown prince.

Gradually into late autumn, the border pass is getting colder and colder, for this battle of the Liang Liang has been preparing for three years, so the Liang army is strong and well prepared, not afraid of this cold weather.

Fu Yuchen secretly divided the army into two parts, the Yinghe Department and the Xue Ying Department were stationed in the east of Liaozhou, which was very close to the border between Daliang and Dongyi; The Yuming and Lanyun tribes were stationed on the northern border of Liao, opposite the villages of the Liao Kingdom.

The Jade Star Department was responsible for defending Emperor Qingping and the crown prince.

Seeing off Fu Yuchen, who was driving the royal expedition, Xu Cancan went back to Fuyun Hall and took a rose bath comfortably - Fu Yuchen was going to leave last night, so she tossed for half the night, and she felt sore today, and a bath could soothe her.

When she came out of the bathroom, she was dressed up beautifully and hugged left and right on the brocade couch - Fu Xi on the left and Fu Quan on the right, and listened to the court musician play the newly composed song "Spring Mountain Sky Night" through the screen.

While Fu Xi and Fu Quan were listening to the tune, Xu Cancan leaned on the pillow and hugged the two children and fell asleep unconsciously.

The female officials on duty in Fuyun Hall today are Zhu Que, Shi Dieqian and Qin Yuxia, and the palace maids are Xiao Ling, Xiao Bell, Xiao Deng and Xiao Zhan.

Seeing that Empress Xu was asleep, Suzaku hurriedly stepped forward and took the brocade quilt and gently covered her.

Fu Quan saw that Suzaku was helping his mother cover the quilt, so he also got into the quilt and lay on his mother to continue listening.

Fu Xi saw that the queen mother was asleep, so he moved back and continued to listen to the music close to the queen mother.

It didn't take long for Fu Xi and Fu Quan to fall asleep sweetly in their mother's arms.

Seeing that Queen Xu and the second prince and the third princess were all asleep listening to the music, Suzaku stepped forward to arrange the brocade quilts for them with a smile, ordered the musicians to stop playing, and whispered to Shi Dieqian: "Go to Zhu Shanggong to get a thousand taels of silver tickets, and the musicians will reward one hundred taels." ”

Shi Dieqian felt that these rewards were a bit much, so she smiled and said, "I don't know how much Niangniang has always rewarded?" ”

Suzaku didn't bother to take care of her, glanced at her, and said, "Go get the silver ticket!" ”

Although Shi Dieqian was still angry in her heart, because Suzaku was the chief female official of Fuyun Palace, she had to go to the West Side Hall to find Shanggong Zhu Yan and take the silver ticket out.

She originally planned to send those musicians out and give silver tickets again, so that she could get a little bit out of it, but who knew that Suzaku would see through it.

Suzaku didn't speak, just looked at her coldly. She was so embarrassed by Suzaku that she had to distribute the silver tickets to the musicians in front of Suzaku.

When she returned to her residence in the evening, Shi Dieqian couldn't help but say to Sun Shimei, who was in the same room: "Do you know, I sent Your Majesty back from the expedition today, and Queen Xu is very happy!" ”

Sun Shimei was standing in front of the basin rack to wash her face, and she just let out an "oh" when she heard the words.

Shi Dieqian snorted coldly and said, "I really didn't know that Your Majesty was going to the battlefield, what was she happy about!" Could she ......?"

She walked up to Sun Shimei and said with a little excitement: "I heard that although Queen Xu doesn't see a foreign man, she doesn't avoid Shui Shaobao, and I heard that Shui Shaobao said goodbye to Empress Xu when she left Beijing!" ”

Sun Shimei took the handkerchief and gently tried the water droplets on her face, and she had no intention of talking.

Since Shi Dieqian entered the palace, she was about to be suffocated, and she was a little crazy, regardless of Sun Shimei's reaction, she chattered endlessly: "Shui Shaobao is young and handsome, Queen Xu is a resentful woman in the deep palace, if you want to say that there is no adultery between them, I don't believe it......"

After washing her face, Sun Shimei said: "I want to embroider a red silk handkerchief, go to my sisters to ask for good materials!" ”

After that, she didn't care about Shi Dieqian's reaction, got up and opened the door and went out.

On the second day, Suzaku waited for Queen Xu for lunch with several female officials and palace maids, and waited until Queen Xu took the second prince and the third princess to rest in the dormitory, and then she took people out of the dormitory to stand under the corridor.

Suzaku seemed to be very tired, stretched his waist and said, "I'm so tired!" ”

No one else spoke, only Shi Dieqian stepped forward with a smile: "Since my sister feels tired, why don't you let my sisters help you share some of it?" Why be tired and unpleased? "Suzaku is only eighteen years old this year, and he is already a four-grade edict; She is seventeen years old this year, but she is only the servant of the eighth grade, how can she not make Shi Dieqian jealous?

Before Suzaku could speak, Zhu Yan of Sanpin Shanggong, who was serving Empress Xu in the dormitory, walked out and said in a deep voice: "Violate the prohibition of tongues, follow the palace rules, drag to the torture room and beat twenty canes before getting out!" ”

As soon as she said this, except for Zhu Yan and Sun Shimei, the female officials and palace maids standing under the corridor were all shocked and stunned.

Shi Dieqian trembled with fright, but she said forcefully: "My father is a third-grade waiter, you dare-"

Zhu Yan shook his hand and slapped it, making a crisp sound, and Shi Dieqian was beaten to the ground.

Then Mama Yin brought a few mothers-in-law to the front and gagged her mouth and dragged Shi Dieqian out.

Zhu Yan saw that the mother-in-law who was in charge of the torture room had returned to the cane, and the female official Shi had passed out, and Zhu Yan saw that the mother-in-law who replied gave her a look, and she understood that Shi Dieqian was afraid that she would not survive, so she slowly glanced at the female officials and palace maids, and turned around and entered the dormitory.

Suzaku hurriedly followed.

The bed in the dormitory was closed, and the second prince and the third prince slept in it.

Empress Xu was sitting in front of the dressing table, applying a layer of white pear dew to her face and patting it gently.

Seeing Zhu Yan and Suzaku coming in, she stopped her movements and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Yan hurriedly reported: "Niangniang, please rest assured. ”

Xu Cancan didn't ask anymore, picked up the jade bottle and poured some white pear flower dew evenly on his face, and continued to pat it gently with his hands.

It's not that she is too ruthless, first, Shi Dieqian spread rumors that she hooked up with Shui Han and became adulterous, if Shi Dieqian is allowed to live, this rumor will spread all over the capital sooner or later; The second is that after these female officials entered the palace, they were honest for a while at first, and they have begun to move recently, especially this bewitching Shi Dieqian; The third is that she, as the master of the harem, has to use Shi Dieqian to establish her prestige, so that people dare not make mistakes easily.

Therefore, since Shi Dieqian dared to jump out, she had to be the "chicken" in "killing chickens to show monkeys".

Zhu Yan asked again: "How should Sun Shimei deal with it?" ”

Xu Cancan said lazily: "She is a villain." That's it, just reward her with two hundred taels of silver, and let her out of the palace when the time comes! She didn't dare to stay with such a person.

Zhu Yan replied "yes".

As we enter November, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day.

Xu Cancan waited for more than a month, but she never waited for Fu Yuchen to send someone back to inform her to go to Liaozhou, so she became a little anxious.

On this day, Duchess Chengen made some of Xu Cancan's favorite pancakes in the house, put them in a food box and personally brought them over.

Xu Cancan heard that it was his favorite pepper leaf pancake, so he said coquettishly: "Mother feed me!" ”

Although she is in her twenties and the mother of three children, Xu Wang still treats her as a child, busily cleans her hands, and opens the lid of the food box on the pear blossom wood carved kang table.

Xu Cancan was sitting next to her mother, as soon as the lid of the food box was opened, a greasy smell came to her nose, she was nauseated, and retched.

Xu Wangshi clasped his palms together at the moment, and his vocal cords were surprised: "Cancan, are you pregnant again?" ”

Xu Cancan: "......" didn't come last month.

Xu Wang hurriedly asked: "When will the imperial doctor come to ask for peace pulse?" ”

Xu Cancan didn't bother to think about it, so he looked at Suzaku.

Suzaku hurriedly said: "Yu Niangniang, madam, the imperial doctor will come tomorrow to ask for peace and security!" ”

Zhu Yan said: "Niangniang, the slave maid should go and ask for a doctor!" "It's too big to be taken seriously.

Xu Cancan thought for a while and said, "You go!" ”
