The morning of Xiyuan is now earlier than that of Miyagi, the sky has just been brightened, and all kinds of things have been prepared, you can imagine how early the people should have gotten up, thinking that they were already busy in the kitchen before the fifth watch. The speed update is waiting for you () Baidu search can be done! However, the masters of Xiyuan are all getting up early now, and there is no reason to get up to ask for anything, and the work and rest time of the people below must also be changed.

Nowadays, the most populous in the palace is the West Garden. Although the eldest princess of Shunde has been married, but the remaining two eldest princesses live in Xiyuan with their mothers, and the king of Yu is still young, and he also lives in Qing'an Palace with the concubine, plus Hu Xianshi in Chang'an Palace, ninety percent of the masters in the palace live in Xiyuan, but it seems that the East Palace and the Qianqing Palace are a little deserted. Fortunately, Hu Xianshi and the noble concubine have to go through the East Palace for half a day every day, and the emperor often has to go to the two palaces to ask for peace after class, so that the three palace groups in the Forbidden Palace can be regarded as having vitality.

"This spring has been particularly hot." Yuanyuan muttered and complained to his sister while flying the needle and threading, "It's only February, and it's so hot that I can't wear a jacket, but if I wear less, I come in from outside and sit here, it's also cold, and I'm sick when I'm cold and hot?" ”

Diandian was also making a female red with a sad face, she put down the embroidered bandage and rubbed her neck, "Come in and add a jacket, my sister was sick a few days ago because she wore less, but she came into the house today without clothes." ”

"I've all worn thick clothes for the winter." Yuanyuan looked at the time leak in the corner of the house, and sighed, "Isn't it time to go to the back room?" ”

The Queen Mother has been recuperating from a stroke for a year, and the first half a year of action is not very neat, but after that, the new imperial doctor who was selected by the hospital has been treated by the new imperial doctor, and now it is much better, walking is no hindrance, and daily life is almost the same as ordinary people, but the corners of the mouth are still slightly crooked, and it is said that after another year and a half, it will not be seen.

It is almost a small miracle that the patient can recover like this, but as long as the Queen Mother does not regain power for a day, the disease has not been completely 'cured', and the children still come to greet the sick according to the rules of serving the sick, anyway, they can only act according to the above arrangement. Although he is a golden branch and jade leaf, whether it is a prince or a princess, the discipline is extremely strict, and every move is not autonomous at all.

For example, the arrangement for a while, because the Queen Mother has more napping habits, they often fall asleep when they come, and the female historians arrange embroidery homework, so that they can wait for the Queen Mother to wake up, while doing needlework in the side room, they will never let them sit idle and bored. And if you want to rebel against the arrangement of the grandmothers without a valid reason, it is difficult to get the support of the elders. Diandian always complains that the bigger the rules, the stricter the rules, but after all, she is getting older and older year by year, and she rarely says such things now. On the one hand, it's because it's useless to say it, and on the other hand, it's because I know that this kind of strictness is actually a style that has changed since the time when the concubine was in charge, and it's not inconvenient for me to complain about my mother.

"It's time to go." I looked at it and felt that it was almost time. "I don't know if my eldest brother can't come over today."

"If you don't finish your homework, I'm afraid you won't be able to come here — but it's fine." Seeing that there was no one near him, Yuan Yuan suddenly sighed in a low voice irritably, and threw the embroidery piece on the kang, "It's easy to rest for a few hours a day, and I have to run over to serve her." If something happens to her, it's been so long since she recovered, and she still has to do this, it's really annoying! ”

The two sisters have not been too close since childhood, but now that the eldest sister Ah Huang is married, there are two princesses left in the palace as companions, which are often in one place, although they know that Yuanyuan seems to have a shallow relationship with their mother, but they have never exposed this matter, seeing Yuanyuan angry, I don't know what to say, I took a step back, and after a while, I smiled, "Actually, the scenery of this embroidery room is also good, the flowers bloom in spring, and it is very comfortable to sit and embroider." It's just that it's boring to sit for a while, and it's over for a while. ”

"You only came here the next day, but you're better than me." Yuan Yuan let out a sigh, "People live well in the princess's house, and suddenly they ...... again"

She glanced at it, smiled to herself, and changed the subject, "That's it, I only envy you, your mother is a kind and interesting person, and living with her must be faster than me." ”

Diandian vaguely heard Yuanyuan say a little about this, because Yuanyuan is fifteen years old this year, and he is about to get married. In the past two years, the queen mother has disciplined her a lot, anyway, little girls, since they were children, have grown up pampered, and now when they are girls, they are very assertive, and their mothers, who originally did not live together, suddenly live together, and they are in charge of their heads and feet, and there are naturally a few quarrels between mother and daughter. Yuan Yuan is not angry, she is most angry that this matter is clearly the emperor's younger brother, but everyone, even her mother, is as if nothing happened, as if this is not a big deal at all, Yuan Yuan has said to her several times, 'Why? It's not fair at all, I like him so much, then let him live in Qingning Palace'.

"Our mothers are not harmonious and funny." Diandian also sighed, and whispered, "It's like I'm busy every day, it's rare to see each other, and I ask about my homework as soon as I open my mouth, and if I don't obey, I have to hit my palm." ”

When she said this, she had the meaning of comforting Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan also knew it, but she was happy after hearing it, she laughed and put her finger on the vertex, "You just pretend to be with me-it's not so fierce, and it won't cure you little naughty." ”

In the end, they are young and don't know how to worry, a little emotional, and they will go down after saying a few words, the two put down the embroidery work, recruited the maid, and walked out of the embroidery room hand in hand, chatting while walking under the warm spring sun. "What have you been up to lately? I always feel like I'm busy, and I haven't seen it for a few days. ”

"It should be busy moving Zhuang'er out to live." nodded and said, "The second brother is also twelve years old, so it's not good to live in Qing'an Palace anymore, and it's nothing more than some things from the outer court." Listening to her, it seems that there is a war on the border again, and this time Niangniang went to Renshou Palace in the morning, and she had to eat in the evening before coming back. ”

Yuan Yuan didn't care about the war outside and her brother's residence, she sighed and changed the topic again, "Speaking of which, this year's immortal master's birthday can't be over?" If you want to pass, why haven't you heard the voice - the last time the eldest sister entered the palace, it was two months ago, and I really miss her. ”

"Then you'll have to ask our mother." nodded and shook his head and said, "I just see each other once a day, I can't say a few words, and I don't know more than you." ”

The two staggered to the Empress Dowager's convalescent residence in Qingning Palace, but they were stopped by Mama Zhou outside the house, "Two sisters, slow down, the noble concubine is in the house." ”

Dotted was quite puzzled, "Why is it that our mother is inside, and we can't go in?" ”

Mama Zhou looked at Yuanyuan and smiled, "Sisters, you don't have to ask, when you should know, you will naturally know." ”

Dian Dian hasn't come back to taste, but Yuanyuan is already red-faced, she pulled Dot, and her voice was like a gnat, "Sister, let's go back and embroider flowers for a while." ”

nodded and sighed, and suddenly realized that she was a little red, but fortunately she was black, but she couldn't see it, "Go back, go back, go back." ”

The small commotion outside the house, through the window, fell into the eyes of the two adults. The Queen Mother smiled at the corner of her lips, "In the end, when she grew up and grew her hair, she really looked like a girl." ”

"Isn't it?" Xu Xun echoed, "I will be selected this year, I will get married next year, and in two years, I will be able to hold my grandson - it's really fast, Ah Huang will be a mother in the blink of an eye." ”

"After getting married, Ah Huang looked at everyone cheerfully." The Queen Mother also said, "Look at and when she was in the palace, she almost changed people, if Yuanyuan was as happy as her after going out, I wish she would get married tomorrow." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xun was also surprised - to put it bluntly, Ah Huang's personality originally tended to be gloomy and extreme, and he was not very likable. But after I didn't want to get married, I fell in love with my concubine, and the two lived in the same house and lived together, which was no different from ordinary couples. Only the family of the horse lived in the house, and it was less than a year before they got married, and the good news had already come out. Not to mention Immortal Master Hu, even the old man, when he saw Ah Huang's appearance when he came back to save his relatives, he was so relieved that Ah Huang was blessed for several days.

"I look at Yuanyuan, which is originally quite haode, and it will naturally only be better when I go out." She said, "I've served you well this year, haven't I?" ”

"This kid has a hard mouth and a soft heart." The Queen Mother also had a smile on her lips, "Although sometimes reluctant, but it can be regarded as obedient...... Alas, after all, they are all cared for and raised like golden branches and jade leaves, compared with the daughter-in-law of the heavenly family like us, these three little girls are like a blank piece of paper, and they can see everything written in their minds clearly. ”

Xu Xun had some doubts about this, at least what Ah Huang had done The Queen Mother was unaware, but Yuanyuan and Diandian didn't have any hearts, which is also a fact, "This is good, what kind of eyes do they have?" When they get married, their husbands flatter them, do they still want to serve their in-laws? ”

The two talked a little gossip, and Xu Xun looked at the leak, "It seems that Da Lang didn't do his homework again today." ”

"Didn't they all say that they should be more lenient...... Queen Mother frowned slightly, "I think that in the past year, Da Lang has been detained more and more times." ”

"Gentlemen are talking a little bit more and more energetic......" Speaking of this, Xu Xun also sighed, "I don't want to say much." ”

Before the change, she wouldn't tell the Queen Mother about this matter, that is, now that the Queen Mother is in good health, she will reveal a thing or two - in the past year, she has been filthy by the ministers.

Of course, there will be no confrontation on the bright side, but when Xu Xun watched the music, he occasionally had questions, and when he sent someone to ask the ministers one or two, the answer he got was often hidden in the needle, revealing a little disdain. Although she used the name of Renshou Palace to the outside world, and never brought out the word concubine, the movements in the palace naturally could not be concealed from the ministers of the ministry, and the attitude of these bureaucrats was also obvious: although because of Xu Xun's special exploits, they acquiesced to her to seize power, and never publicly protested. But this is the bottom line, if you still want to say irresponsible things about the affairs of the court, then I'm sorry, no one will cooperate with you.

That is, because she is not the mother of the main palace, the ministers have such confidence to unite her in the air - theoretically speaking, Xu Xun also understands their thoughts, no one likes to share power, let alone be led by laymen, and she doesn't feel that her level is so high that she won't ask stupid questions, anyway, she is temporarily acting for state affairs and being a personal meat stamp, and it is not a big deal to be elevated, and she does not plan to fight for power - but even the only thing that the inner court asked for was deliberately pushed back by the ministers, Even overkill to this extent makes people feel like they are being deceived too much.

However, the Empress Dowager is old and the Empress Dowager is sick, Xu Xun can only endure it for the time being, and instruct Zhu'er not to express his dissatisfaction again, as a student, he feels that Mr. is too strict, and it is unreasonable to say it. Neither she nor he can change this fact, rather than continue to fight, it is better to soften and be a good student for the time being.

However, after all, the bolt is still young, and sometimes it is difficult to hide what he thinks in his heart, so it is inevitable that he will be played by gentlemen with an attitude and a pretext. In short, since the young lord ascended the throne for four years, the attitude of the ministers has become more arrogant every year, although now it is not said that he climbed on the emperor's head to and pee, but compared with Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen, he doesn't know how much he has moistened.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she also frowned, "How can this be reasonable?" This man is truly inadmissible! ”

Xu Xun took advantage of the situation and said tentatively, "Since my sister has been cured......

The Queen Mother also showed a look of interest, and after a while, she sighed gloomily, "I still get dizzy when I sit for a long time...... Let's rest a little longer. ”

Xu Xun couldn't force the Queen Mother to take power, since she didn't want to, she could only forget it, swallow what she wanted to say, and gossip with the Queen Mother for a few minutes. When he resigned from Qingning Palace, Fang Cai sighed softly, and only then did he knock on the wall of the board and order the sedan chair to go to Qianqing Palace.

It is true that he has just returned from school, and if he is left in the classroom for too long, he usually does not go to ask for peace, but comes back to do his homework. Seeing Xu Xun coming, he got up first and saluted, and then presented the homework that had been corrected yesterday to Xu Xun, Xu Xun looked at a few pages, and said, "Well, it's very well written, why did Mr. approve so many mistakes?" ”

Xuan'er snorted, but did not speak, Xu Xun also knew it: he must have been unable to help it, and collided with Mr. between words.

At that time, he wanted to change Liu Hanlin, he really should have let him change, at that time, the matter that he wanted to change people was not changed, once it spread to the ears of the teachers, everyone was energetic, as Liu Hanlin was promoted, as if it was to show the elders of the pavilion, all of them were on par with Liu Hanlin, this disciple is strict, but it can't be so strict, right? Xu Xun was also very depressed in his heart, exhaled a breath, and then comforted Zhu'er, "It's nothing, when the Queen Mother recovers, they will naturally be honest." ”

"There's no one in the celebrant prison who speaks," said Xuan'er indignantly, "if it's the king's companion—"

He glanced at Xu Xun and stopped talking: There are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, eunuchs are originally a dog of the emperor, and they are promoted many times, in order to ask them to come to trouble the ministers.

Xu Xun didn't have much thought about appointing eunuchs, she expected that after Zhu'er came to power, if she encountered the disgrace of the old ministers, she would definitely raise the prestige of killing the ministers with her henchmen. This is an imperative move, and the extent to which he will be in that case depends largely on how hard the gentlemen of the day are with him. - But then, that's not her business.

"I haven't forgotten this time, your royal companion lives well in the city, and in a few days let him come in and greet you." Xu Xundao, "But you can only withdraw after seeing it, you can't speak, and you can't let the old lady and the eldest lady know." ”

Xuan'er mentioned this, sure enough, to attract Wang Zhen, and when he heard Xu Xun's words, he smiled and stopped talking. Xu Xun sighed secretly in his heart: Zhu'er's temper is a little stubborn, although he now has a new companion and has changed to serve many old adults, but since Wang Zhen left, he has never relied on anyone emotionally, although he is also kind to these servants, he is not close.

Since she was secretly regent, she didn't take much care of the court, but she must gossip with Zhu'er every day, talk about who she met today, what thoughts she had in her heart, and often point him out some principles of how to behave as a royal being. After a year, although the two do not have 'love for mother and son', they are also relatively familiar, and they don't have such a heavy sense of seniority when they get along. Because Xu Xun generally didn't reprimand him, Xuan'er dared to speak in front of her, and saw that Xu Xun seemed to have something on his mind between his eyebrows, so he asked, "Little Niangniang, there was an accident in the outer court today?" ”

Xu Xun did not mention this matter to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, but in front of Zhu'er, she did not hide it, but just exhaled heavily. "Your gentlemen may not know it yet, but it will be clear in a few days...... Warat Taishi Tuhuan died, and news came from Jinyiwei that his son had already grasped the power of the Warat tribe. ”

"The barbarians are in awe of the noble species, the Great Khan still doesn't take off the flowers, right?" After several years of education, he has a good grasp of the general trend at home and abroad. "He is supported by Dehuan, and he has never been on good terms, isn't this a great opportunity for my country?"

For the Mongolian tribes of Warat and Tatar, only the golden family's sons are qualified to become the Great Khan, and the Warat Taishi Tuhuan has risen in just a dozen years and become the overlord of the steppe after the Tatars, but Tokhtar has no real power, and it is the Taishi Tuhuan who counts, and his son has always been ambitious, and the reputation of being shrewd and capable has even been heard of by the dynasty. There could have been a barely peaceful relationship between him and Tokhtar Buhua, but now that Tohhuan is dead, there will be a dragon battle with Tokhtobuhua to establish who is the master of Warat. It is not surprising that the bolt would make this judgment.

"yes...... Great opportunity. Xu Xun nodded, and couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile, "But even the weakened Tatars made the front-line guards scramble, and the Tatars directly broke into Shifengkou, and the commander didn't even notice it at all, and went straight to the Jing'an Fort to plunder...... Isn't it a joke that even the Tatars can still bully my border ministers like this, and still want to take the opportunity to suppress Warat? ”

"Huh?" Zhu'er couldn't help but be surprised, "How many people have come in—where is Shifengkou?" ”

Naturally, there is a map of public opinion in the world in the Qianqing Palace, Xu Xun pointed and pointed out the location to Zhu'er - it is hundreds of miles away from the capital, she gritted her teeth and smiled, "Do you guess how many people are reported by Shuli?" ”

Seeing that Zhu'er shook her head, she gestured, "Four people, four horses, come in to visit relatives." ”

"This-" Bolt was speechless, I had never heard of visiting relatives like this, wasn't this talking nonsense with my eyes open? "How many more people really came and how many died?"

"More than 100 people came, knocked down the Shifengkou, and went in for a long time before leaving." Xu Xun snorted, "I was stopped in front of Jing'an Fort...... As for how many people died, it is not known at this time, when it will not be less than a hundred. ”

A hundred dead people is not a large number, and it can be almost ignored in the confrontation between countries, but more than a hundred people can take a front pass on the border with Tatars, and the seriousness of this matter cannot be counted by human life. Bolt'er's face also turned gloomy, "How dare they?" ”

"Because there's someone above your head, of course." Xu Xun said, "Otherwise, how dare you openly deceive the Holy Hearing?" ”

It is also common for border generals to deceive the military and lie about their achievements, for example, the Shifengkou incident can become a victory for the defenders of Jing'an Fort with a little whitewashing, but the premise is that the defenders of Shifengkou have died in battle and are unable to distinguish for themselves. Now that he doesn't report the victory and reports to visit his relatives, it is obvious that he wants to protect the guards of Shifengkou, and he frowned and said, "Little Niangniang, who is the guard of Shifengkou, and which way is it going?" - Weishenme must report this matter? Instead of privately smoothing out the cover-up? After all, Shifengkou is not the front line against Warat, Jinyiwei is in the local area, I'm afraid there is no dark line, right? ”

Not every front-line pass has Jinyi guards stationed, and some of the more remote passes will not even have a dark line, after all, Jinyi guards are relatively limited, and it is impossible to cover everything. Xu Xundao, "It was the Liaodong General Army, but it was also vague in the recital, only saying that someone had crossed the pass, not saying the number of people and casualties, and it seemed that there was room for it...... Presumably there must be an article behind this, but I don't even know who it is. ”

Shu'er nodded thoughtfully and muttered, "Well, it's time to pass on Liu Zhien to come in and speak." ”
