Chapter 264: Frontier Crisis
After Cui Chen left, Wei Jingyao asked people to move a holy decree to the Xie family, and ordered the general Xie Xiaosheng to go to Fengning Mansion to guard the town in the future.
After Xie Fuyao learned the news, he couldn't get excited in his heart.
Originally, she was still thinking about how to explain this situation to Wei Jingyao, but now this will has relieved the boredom in her heart.
More than half a month has passed since the new emperor ascended the throne in the blink of an eye.
Although the dark tide in the court is turbulent, it seems to be harmonious on the surface, and everything is under Wei Jingyao's control.
However, the urgent report from the frontier made Wei Jingyao a little uneasy.
The Duo Yue Kingdom united with the Mula tribe and several surrounding tribes to launch a war.
This army was extremely sharp and menacing, and General Zhaoyuan was ambushed by them, and the situation was very critical.
Wei Jingyao had just registered, and he had not yet completely grasped the affairs of the DPRK and Chinese armies.
Without knowing which of his own people and which were Wei Zheng's people, he did not dare to rashly mobilize the defenders from other places to support Xie Xiaosheng.
In case this person has ill intentions, not only Xie Xiaosheng's life is in danger, but even the border passes will fall into the hands of others.
Although there are trusted people in the DPRK and China, there is no suitable candidate who can lead the troops to fight, so Wei Jingyao is overwhelmed.
This group of people chose to start a war and tear their faces with Jiang Guo at this time, I am afraid they saw this opportunity.
Inshou Palace.
The Queen Mother sat on the main seat, glanced at it with a warm gaze, and said softly.
"In the past few days, the war on the border has been tight, and the mourning family is thinking of canceling this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to save money and support the soldiers at the border gates. ”
As soon as the Queen Mother said this, Concubine Yuan and Concubine Shu looked at each other.
"Queen Mother, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is just a lively picture, if it is canceled rashly like this, the palace should be deserted, and this year is the first banquet after the emperor ascended the throne, how can it be held grandly, how can it be canceled like this. Yuan Guifei said dissatisfied.
Xie Fuyao's eyes were cold, and his expression was obviously a little displeased, whether the soldiers at the border gate ate or not had a problem, and what Hua Ran thought about was whether it was lively or not.
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, and Bengong really understands this sentence at this moment. ”
"Concubine Ying, what do you mean by this, are you mocking the Queen Mother or the Emperor, don't forget that you are also from the official family. ”
As soon as Xie Fuyao was paired, Yuan Guifei spoke eloquently, and she spoke without mercy.
These days, Yuan Guifei has made a stumbling block for Xie Fuyao openly and secretly, but it was all resolved silently by Xie Fuyao, which made Yuan Guifei very unconvinced, and she kept holding back the fire and wanted to burn Xie Fuyao.
"Yuan Guifei's own fault, can she still pull the queen mother and the emperor? Xie Fuyao said coldly.
"What is the fault of this palace? Where is it wrong in this palace, you can talk about it. Concubine Yuan bit her lip.
"Queen Mother, you commented on the concubines, how could Concubine Ying frame the concubines for no reason. “
The Queen Mother's expression did not change significantly, she did not answer, but looked sideways slightly, and looked at the Jinxi next to her, "What does the Queen think?"
Erchen believes that what the queen mother said is very true, the border war is tight, but the palace holds a big banquet, which will inevitably chill the hearts of the border soldiers. The queen paused slightly, thought for a moment and continued.
"However, what Concubine Yuan said is also reasonable, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the palace is indeed a little deserted. ”
"In this way, let's do what the queen said, the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden have bloomed well recently, and we will prepare the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in Guan Jutai. The Queen Mother smiled leisurely.
"Yes, the son will live up to his mother's entrustment. Empress Shi Shiran stood up.
Yuan Guifei glanced at Xie Fuyao fiercely, and showed her a smug smile.
Xie Fuyao didn't have the heart to fight with her about what she didn't have, and now that Xie Xiaosheng's life and death were uncertain, she couldn't wait to fly to the frontier now to save her father from fire and water.
Since it is a family banquet held in the palace, the scale of the banquet is not large, but a table of banquets is set up on the Guan Ju platform, which is no different from ordinary family banquets.
Wei Jingyao has been busy and dizzy these days, if he hadn't been able to see Xie Fuyao at the banquet, he wouldn't have bothered to join in the fun.
"The concubines greet the emperor. The queen and her concubines stood on both sides and gave the emperor a big salute.
"Get up. Wei Jingyao asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and then entered the table with the queen.
The location of this banquet was excellent, and Wei Jingyao raised his head slightly to see the chrysanthemums in the sky slowly blooming, blooming under the warm autumn sun.
"This Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the queen has a heart. ”
"The queen is organizing a banquet in the palace for the first time, and it is not easy to do this. The Queen Mother cast an approving glance at the queen.
"Empress Dowager Xie, the emperor praises, this is the concubine's duty. The queen smiled slightly, and her tone was shallow.
Xie Fuyao watched them talk and laugh beside them, but he didn't listen to a word.
Yesterday she asked her aunt to inquire about her father's situation, but today there is still no news.
Xie Fuyao only felt that his heart was burning urgently, as if there were thousands of ants crawling back and forth, and he was uncomfortable.
"Sister Yingfei, what do you think?" Hearing Concubine Shu suddenly mention her name, Xie Fuyao was slightly stunned.
She didn't listen to what they were saying just now, and naturally she didn't know what the problem was, but Zhu'er saw this and deliberately embarrassed herself.
"What does Concubine Ying mean by not speaking, do you think that the proposal of this palace is not good. Yuan Guifei snorted coldly.
"Or is it that you are still wandering in front of the queen mother and the emperor, and you don't take everyone seriously. ”
"Concubine Yuan's proposal is naturally good. Xie Fuyao didn't want to have a verbal dispute with her anymore, so he continued obediently.
"Since Concubine Ying agreed, then it's up to you to start first. Yuan Guifei hooked the corners of her mouth, deliberately embarrassed.
Xie Fuyao looked dazed, he didn't know what happened to Yuan Guifei, so he had to cast a look at Ziyu for help.
Wei Jingyao saw Xie Fuyao's embarrassment, and also knew that she was depressed in her heart and didn't have these thoughts, so she opened her mouth to help her play the round.
"I've seen Concubine Ying's talents, there's nothing new, but Concubine Yuan, I heard that you are proficient in pipa, so it's better to show the Queen Mother today." ”
Xie Fuyan was relieved, it turned out that Yuan Guifei was turning a corner to make herself ugly on stage, if it wasn't for Wei Jingyao to change the topic, she really wouldn't be able to escape today.
Hearing the emperor praise herself in public, Yuan Guifei was full of pride from the bottom of her heart, her eyes flowed, and she smiled at the emperor.
"In this case, the concubine will be ugly. ”
