"Well, don't worry, Erchen will do what you say." After Hongzhan nodded, she carefully admonished a few more words, and then asked Hongzhan to go back with the cuckoo.

That night, according to Liu's instructions, Hongzhan brewed a cup of tea with the tea she gave and handed it to Guerjia, "Auntie, you drink tea." ”

Guerjia put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Yo, why is it so good today, personally make tea for the palace to drink, who taught you?" ”

Hongzhan carefully put the tea cup on the small table, and said with a smile: "No one taught me, I thought about honoring my aunt, auntie, you taste this tea, is it delicious?" ”

Guerjia didn't doubt him, took the tea and took a sip, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "This seems to be Lushan Yunwu tea, but the palace doesn't remember that there is this tea in the palace, Hongzhan, where did you get it from?" ”

Hongzhan said a little nervously: "I asked the steward of the Internal Affairs Office to come, and I don't know what kind of tea it is, but the steward said that this tea is very good." ”

Guerjia's head said: "This is one of the top ten famous teas, only produced in Lushan in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, fragrant like an orchid, emerald green in color, it is indeed a first-class good, then the steward did not lie to you." ”

As soon as he heard this, Hongzhan hurriedly said: "If my aunt likes it, will I make it for my aunt to drink every day?" ”

"Naturally, it's good, my aunt can't wait to drink the tea you brewed for the rest of my life." Speaking of this, Guerjia caressed Hongzhan's forehead lovingly and said, "Hongzhan has really grown up and knows the word filial piety." ”

Although Hongzhan has always resisted recognizing Guarjia as his mother, he also knows that Guarjia is really treating him well, thinking that he may return to Liu's side at some point, he feels a little sad, and looks up and says: "Auntie, even if Hongzhan can't be by your side every day in the future, I will definitely make tea for you to drink." ”

It is said that Tong Yan is unscrupulous, but Tong Yan is also the most touching, because it will not deceive people, will not pretend, and every word is the truest idea in the child's heart.

Guerjia took him in his arms and said movingly: "Good, really good, my aunt didn't hurt you in vain, Hongzhan, my aunt will definitely do her best to protect you and let you grow up carefree." ”

Since that night, every night, Hongzhan will personally make a cup of tea and hand it to the Guarjia clan, and every time, the Guarjia clan will drink it.

Calm time always flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the height of summer, although there is ice in the house, it is cool and pleasant, Ling Ruo still sleeps unsteadily, tossing and turning, and his expression is very painful.

When Yinzhen came over, he happened to see this scene, patted Ling Ruo's arm and said, "Ruo'er, wake up, wake up!" ”

After calling three times in a row, Ling Ruo finally woke up from his sleep, and when he first opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed, and after a while, he looked at Yin Zhen and said, "Concubine...... Where is this concubine? ”

Yin Zhen was a little amused by her question, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Naturally, it's in your own palace, what's wrong, did you dream of something bad?" ”

Hearing this, Ling Ruo finally came back to her senses, and said with a somewhat painful expression: "Yes, the concubine dreamed of Sister Wen just now, she has been talking to the concubine, but the concubine can't hear clearly, and then she is leaving, and she has to take Sister Concubine Jin with her, and the concubine is chasing after her, but she can't catch up with them." Concubines...... The concubines felt so afraid, as if they would never see them again. Speaking of this, she grabbed Yinzhen's hand hard and said, "Your Majesty, is this dream an ominous omen?" ”

"Fool, didn't Concubine Jin stay in Xianfu Palace, how could she not see it, and where is it unknown. As for having such a dream, it must be that you have been missing Concubine Huixian too much recently, it's okay, don't think too much. ”

Yinzhen's comfort made Ling Ruo slowly relax, and then wiped her face with the face towel handed by Shui Xiu, the cold water finally calmed her down completely, took a light breath, looked at Yinzhen and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here on such a hot day?" ”

"I miss you, come and see you." Yin Zhen said it lightly, but Ling Ruo clearly saw a trace of worry in his eyes, clenched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong, is something wrong?" ”

Yin Zhen showed a somewhat reluctant smile and said, "It's just some trivial things, don't mention it." ”

Ling Ruo stroked Yinzhen's unconsciously frowning brows distressedly, "If it's just a trivial matter, the emperor won't show such an expression, since you are here, why don't you tell the concubine, maybe the concubine can't help, but at least you can share it for the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen no longer concealed it, took her hand, and sighed heavily: "Since the end of last year, Zhungar began to invade my Qing Dynasty, at first it was just a small fight, and there were no injuries, but now it is getting stricter and stricter, and there are also casualties. ”

Ling Ruo said with some surprise: "Hasn't the emperor already strengthened the troops at the border pass, how can he allow Geer to advance instead of retreating?" ”

"I originally wanted to deter Zhungar and make them retreat, but now it seems that it is impossible, and there will inevitably be a big war between the Qing Dynasty and Junggar."

Yinzhen's words made Ling Ruo recall the days after meeting Geerdan, and said in a condensed voice: "The concubine has some contact with Geerdan, the Khan King of Zhungar, this person is ambitious, and he wants to enter the Central Plains, and he held the concubine hostage before, and he also wanted to use the concubine to blackmail the emperor, so that the emperor had some scruples, but the seventeenth master who happened to be the envoy of Zhungar ruined the plan. But the concubine believed that his ambitions would never go away. The reason why there has been no movement in the past two years is that he should be recuperating and recuperating, and now he has begun to invade my Qing Dynasty, which means that he ......"

"He is ready and capable of going head-to-head with the Qing Dynasty." Yinzhen almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence.

He is not afraid of war, since he ascended the throne, he has also experienced a lot of battles, but it is because of the experience that he understands the horror of war, not to mention the casualties, the cost is huge, only to say that at this time, the Qing Dynasty is implementing the New Deal period, although it looks peaceful, but in fact there are many problems, if one is not handled well, it is likely that all these problems will be hooked out because of the war, if it is really time for internal and external troubles, even if it is Yinzhen, there is no certainty that it can be solved.

At this point, Ling Ruo also understood that if it weren't for this critical moment, Yinzhen would not be afraid to confront Junggar at all, in fact, Yinzhen had always wanted to completely solve this external trouble, so as not to disturb his descendants again.

She asked softly, "Is the emperor ready to use troops?" ”

"If it really comes to that moment, I will have to move even if I don't want to move anymore, but why is it at this time." Speaking of the back, there was an indescribable annoyance in Yinzhen's words, "It's as if Geldan knows that this is the most difficult time for the Qing Dynasty." ”
