Time is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it is already September.

Mo Ziyu glanced at the latest news, and his face was a little heavy.

"Princess, what's wrong?" asked the matchmaker.

Mo Ziyu frowned lightly and said: "The great drought in Northern Xia, since June, not a drop of rain has fallen in the northern region, I am afraid that there will be no harvest this year, if there is no harvest, the people will starve all over the wilderness, if it is serious, there will be an uprising, and I am afraid that something big will happen in Northern Xia." ”

"Drought is a rare disaster for every court, since Northern Xia is a big country, it must be full of grain depots, and there is a way to deal with it, why should the princess worry?" the matchmaker persuaded.

Mo Ziyu shook his head lightly: "If it is a small-scale drought, it is more than enough for the imperial court to deal with it, but the scale of this disaster is very large, even if it is the imperial court, it is not easy to deal with it." Moreover, Liu Xu has only been on the throne for a short time, and the political situation is not stable, so when he encounters such a thing, there must be people with bad intentions. Moreover, once there is internal chaos in Northern Xia, it will be an opportunity for Southern Chu and Western Wei, and they will not let go of this opportunity to hit Northern Xia hard, and then Northern Xia will be troubled internally and externally. ”

"Does the princess want to help Beixia?" the matchmaker asked, "Princess, you also have to estimate everyone's feelings!"

"I understand, you listen to me. Mo Ziyu said, "If my prediction is not wrong, this is also the time for Mulan to return to the country." ”

"Do you mean, taking advantage of the internal and external troubles of Northern Xia, we will also raise troops to snatch our land back?" asked the matchmaker excitedly.

Mo Ziyu shook his head again and said: "Things are not as simple as you think, once Southern Chu and Western Wei join forces to attack Northern Xia, then Nandi and Inurong will also take advantage of the chaos to enter, and it will be the people of the Central Plains who will suffer at that time." I want to stop the war between the three kingdoms as soon as possible while Mulan recovers. ”

"Princess, your idea is unrealistic. The matchmaker sighed softly, "Your idea is naturally good, you can restore the country with the smallest sacrifice, but will Northern Xia be willing?

Mo Ziyu's eyes turned slightly, and said with a smile: "If you don't try it, how do you know if you can't?"

After a pause, she continued, "Now it's time to go down the mountain and go to the Elder Pavilion to find out the situation first. ”

"Good. ”

Since she had decided to go down the mountain, Mo Ziyu did not hesitate any longer, and then informed Situ Jiexing and Qiu Ming to pack their things and prepare to go down the mountain at any time, while she went to say goodbye to the hall master's wife.

"Aunt Yu. Mo Ziyu knelt in front of the hall master's wife and kowtowed to her, "I'm going down the mountain to do my own thing, thank you Aunt Yu for taking care of me during this time, you are like my mother, you have given me a lot of warmth, please forgive me for not being able to do filial piety under your knees anymore, and when I finish the things down the mountain, I will come back to say hello to you." ”

"Get up. The hall master's wife helped Mo Ziyu up and touched her cheek, "I'm glad that you can find what you want to do, don't worry about it, if you're tired, go back to Aunt Yu's side to rest." ”

She glanced at Qin Yi next to her, and said with a smile: "Li'er, you also have half of Mulan's blood on your body, since what she did is related to Mulan, you should follow her, and do something for Mulan instead of your mother." ”

Qin Yi clenched his fists: "Please respect your mother's orders." ”

At this time, the hall master's wife handed a token to Mo Ziyu's hand, and said with a smile: "This is what his father asked me to transfer to you, with this token, you can call the killers of each branch of the Killer Hall." ”

"It's too precious. Mo Ziyu said.

"Take it, as I just said, just think of it as if I made a little contribution to Mulan. Aunt Yu smiled gently, she held Qin Yi with one hand and Mo Ziyu with the other, and said, "I don't have any other requirements, and I don't care if what you want to do can be done, I only care about one thing, that is, both of you have to come back safely and return to me, do you understand?"

"Mother, I know, I will protect my sister. Qin Yi said firmly.

In the afternoon, the group went down the mountain, led by the matchmaker, and went straight to the Elders' Pavilion.

Nanchu, the royal palace.

Sun Pingling has been pregnant for more than six months, her belly is as big as a ball, and her body is also a lot bloated.

The maid entered with a few boxes of supplements and said, "The queen sent someone to send a bunch of supplements, this ginseng, abalone, bird's nest, are all treasures, she is willing to do it, it seems that she really cares about the mother and the child in the mother's belly, right?"

Sun Pingling put down the book in his hand, smiled faintly, and did not speak.

She gently stroked her belly, and when the imperial doctor came to diagnose it earlier, he said that the child was already older than ordinary children, and it should not be too nourishing on weekdays, so as not to be difficult to give birth at the time.

Earlier, she was worried that the child in her belly would not be able to grow up well, that is, she ate all kinds of supplements, and her body also gained weight, and most of the supplements were sent by the queen.

This queen is really not so kind!

"Put things down. Sun Pingling said lightly, "Tell the kitchen, I want to eat lighter recently." ”

"Okay, slave and maid, then order. ”

While speaking, the maid outside reported that the king was coming, Sun Pingling stretched out her hand, and the maid next to her hurriedly helped her up.

"Sit down, sit down!" Qian Yan said warmly and cordially as soon as he appeared, "You are heavy now, sit down quickly, you don't have to be polite." ”

Sun Pingling smiled slightly, and after blessing his body, he was helped by the maid and sat down.

Qian Yan came to Sun Pingling and sat down in front of him, and asked, "Have you received those supplements I sent?"

"It has been received, and the queen has bothered. Sun Pingling replied with a smile.

"You don't have to be polite with me. Qian Yan said, "There are some things that I asked my queen mother to send, although they are precious, but as long as they are for you to replenish your body, I will definitely get you many precious things." Don't be polite to me, if you want to eat or play first, just tell me. ”

"Thank you for the Queen's care, Ping Ling and the child are grateful. Sun Pingling said softly.

After a pause, Qian Yan changed his words and said, "Don't you think our harem is a little cold?"

"Cold?" Sun Pingling was puzzled, "What does the queen mean?"

"What I mean, Your Majesty only has the two of us in this harem, I feel a little lonely, and I need draft girls to fill the harem and extend the royal blood for Your Majesty. Qian Yan said, "What do you think of this?"

"The queen wants to draft a draft girl?" asked Sun Pingling.

"Yes, I want to ask you what you mean. ”

"Naturally, the matter depends on the queen. ”

"If you don't have an opinion, that's it. The queen said, "After all, Your Majesty's blood is important, and this is also for the sake of the community, and Your Majesty will not refuse if you think about it." Sister, I also have a heart-to-heart with you today, to tell you the truth, because I am the princess of the Western Wei Dynasty, so Your Majesty does not trust me as if you trust you, although this matter is also for Your Majesty's consideration, but Your Majesty may think that I have other thoughts, can my sister mention this matter to Your Majesty?"

"The queen and your majesty are husband and wife, husband and wife are one, your majesty will not distrust the queen, not to mention that the queen is really for your majesty's good, your majesty can feel it. Sun Pingling said, "If the queen is not at ease, I can talk to Your Majesty about this matter, but I have a big belly now, and some things are not very convenient......

"Don't worry, as long as Your Majesty agrees to the draft, I will handle all the other things, you just need to take care of your body and give birth to a big fat boy for Your Majesty!" Qian Yan hurriedly smiled.

"Good. ”

"Then the matter is settled. Qian Yan said happily, "Don't disturb your rest, I'll leave first!"

After Qian Yan left, Sun Pingling picked up the teacup and took a sip of water slowly.

The maid asked puzzledly: "Niangniang, what does the queen mean by this? She took Niangniang you for the matter of Princess Changle last time, won't there be any conspiracy this time......?"

"She naturally has her purpose. Sun Pingling put down the teacup and said lightly, "I'm about to give birth, if I give birth to His Majesty's eldest son, her status will be very passive, and I already have the real power of the harem, she only occupies the position, and her situation will only be more difficult at that time. And now that I am physically inconvenient, then she must take full care of this draft matter, so she can take away part of the power from me, which is naturally profitable for her. ”

"Since the lady has seen through her thoughts, do you still want to propose it to Your Majesty?" asked the maid.

"Why don't you mention it?" Sun Pingling smiled slightly, "Look at the long term, don't focus on those small profits." Fill the harem, extend the heirs for His Majesty, and say the top priority of Nanchu, this is the national capital, why should I stop it? This matter is a matter of time, if the queen stops it, it will be difficult to advance, since she took the initiative to mention it, I have no reason to refuse. ”

"Can Your Majesty agree?"

"State affairs are important. Sun Pingling got up and walked back and forth a few steps with his waist propped up, "All your majesty's decisions must also be based on the stability of Nanchu." Even if Your Majesty doesn't agree, you have to think of something to make him agree, don't worry, with their father, they have a way to make Your Majesty agree!"
