People come and go in Yingyue Pavilion, all of them come to give congratulatory gifts to Zhao Xinyue, these inner and outer women frequently enter and leave Yingyue Pavilion, and Yingyue Pavilion is also very lively. Zhao Xinyue looked at the prince in her arms and smiled happily. This is Xiang Hongxuan's eldest son, no matter whether this child is related to the throne in the future or not, their mother and son's road to wealth and prosperity will not be able to run.

A gust of cold wind blew into the inner room, and Zhao Xinyue put on another coat, and she felt a little warmer. Zhao Xinyue was a difficult birth, and she was born prematurely, she gave birth to the prince for a day and a night, and fainted several times, which is said to be extremely dangerous. The little prince is 2 months old, but her body has not improved, and she can barely get out of bed and walk around.

Zhao Xinyue looked at the room full of all kinds of expensive gifts, and her suffering was not in vain. And yesterday, Ling Xi also sent an edict from Jin to make her his wife. She is now Mrs. Zhao, and she is the rightful owner of this Yingyue Pavilion, thinking of this, Zhao Xinyue smiled proudly. The palace people brought in another pot of silver frost charcoal, and Zhao Xinyue suddenly felt that the room was a lot warmer.

"Did Your Majesty come to Yingyue Pavilion today?" Zhao Xinyue asked eagerly.

I heard that there was a big incident in the court on the day she gave birth, and Xiang Hongxuan didn't come to Yingyue Pavilion for the first time, and it wasn't until the evening that Xiang Hongxuan was late to Yingyue Pavilion, and she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart when she remembered that Concubine Shu gave birth. Fortunately, in the end, she successfully gave birth to the prince, and listening to the next person, Xiang Hongxuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth at that time.

"Your Majesty is still in the East Warm Pavilion, I'm afraid I won't come. The queen sent someone to send some silver frost charcoal to Madame, saying that it was cold in winter, so that the Yingyue Pavilion would be warmer, and the little prince would not be frozen. Miyato replied.

Zhao Xinyue glanced at the red-hot charcoal, it was really a first-class charcoal fire, there was no soot at all, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly asked: "Did the queen mother also send silver frost charcoal to Xiyan Palace?" ”

"The queen also sent someone to send a basket of silver frost charcoal to Xiyan Palace."

Zhao Xinyue sneered, Ling Xi, the queen, is really a bowl of water, and she can't find fault at all, but can she be the same as Feng Yingying? Feng Yingying gave birth to a daughter, she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor of Dongyu Kingdom, and she was a harem woman pulled by Ling Xi, shouldn't Ling Xi treat her more preferentially?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xinyue became a little anxious, she heard that after she was pregnant with Feng Yingying, Xiang Hongxuan occasionally pampered several other female histories, basically staying in Qingfeng Yuan, Ling Xi is a favored queen, if Ling Xi no longer favors herself, her sick body doesn't know when it will be cured, and if she doesn't say goodbye to Hongxuan, she will forget her. She thought of Tang Meiren, Xu Meiren and Liu Meiren in the harem, she hadn't seen Xiang Hongxuan pampered them since she entered the palace, they had been forgotten by Xiang Hongxuan in the harem. She didn't want to be like them.

Another palace person hurriedly walked into the inner room, glanced at the little prince who was sleeping in Zhao Xinyue's arms, and whispered: "Madam, the father-in-law of Xiao Dezi is waiting at the door, saying that His Majesty wants to see the little prince, and asked the nurse to take the little prince to the East Warm Pavilion." ”

Zhao Xinyue's face immediately drooped, a little unhappy. From the time she gave birth,

Xiang Hongxuan didn't come a few times, and if he wanted his son, he asked the palace people to send him to Qingfeng Garden, but if you look at Feng Yingying again, her daughter has never let people hold Qingfeng Garden, and she has always visited Xiyan Palace in person to Xiang Hongxuan. After entering the palace, I heard that Feng Yingying was a favorite concubine, and sure enough, the favorite concubine was different.

"Tell my father-in-law that the little prince has just fallen asleep, let them be lighter, don't wake up the little prince."

After Zhao Xinyue told a lot, she reluctantly asked the nurse to carry the little prince out of Yingyue Pavilion, Xiao Dezi hurriedly asked the nurse to carry the little prince to the sedan chair, there was still some snow outside, if the little prince was frozen, he couldn't afford it.

Xiang Hongxuan had already been impatiently pacing in the East Warm Pavilion. As soon as he saw the wet nurse enter the house, he stepped forward quickly, hugged the little prince, and was as happy as a child.

Aunt Yan brought a tray full of children's toys, Ling Xi took a rattle, came to Xiang Hongxuan's side, and played with the rattle, amusing the little prince. But the little prince in Xiang Hongxuan's arms seemed to be a little unenergetic, and his expression was wilted.

"I'm afraid the little prince hasn't woken up, he's still sleepwalking this time." Ling Xi said jokingly.

She turned around and put down the rattle in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, she remembered that on the day Zhao Xinyue gave birth, Imperial Physician Chen said that the little prince was congenitally insufficient, and originally Zhao Nushi was unstable in the fetal image, and it was the imperial doctors who used all their methods to let the prince be born. Even if the little prince has been taking medicine since he was a child, he doesn't know if he can grow up.

Ling Xi saw the little prince's lack of spirit just now, and Xiang Hongxuan would be so sad if he knew that his son was so fragile and healthy.

"Queen, what do you think I should give the prince a good name? Recently, there have been a lot of things in the previous dynasty, and I am also worried, and I don't know what to name my son for a while, so the queen helps me to take a closer look. ”

Xiang Hongxuan carefully hugged the prince in his arms, and his face was difficult for a while, but Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the prince's cute little face again, and immediately smiled, as if he was not only his son in his arms, but also his country.

Suddenly, the little prince cried in Xiang Hongxuan's arms, the cry was like a cat's meow, there was no spirit that a full moon child should have, Ling Xi thought of the princess of Feng Yingying, but more than a month older than the little prince, and the princess cried much louder than the little prince.

Xiang Hongxuan looked at the crying of his son in his arms, a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know how he hurt his baby son, he couldn't stop crying, he hurriedly handed his son into the hands of the wet nurse, the wet nurse gently patted the little prince, and the little prince finally fell asleep after a while. Xiang Hongxuan sighed as if relieved, he waved his hand, and the nurse carefully carried the little prince out of the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"The concubine doesn't know how to choose a name, if Your Majesty asks the concubine to help with the details, the concubine may think, one, one, two, two is very good, easy to remember and does not take a brain."

Ling Xi began to ridicule Xiang Hongxuan, Xiang Hongxuan was thinking about the name of the prince when Feng Yuying and Zhao Xinyue were pregnant, but for such a long time, Xiang Hongxuan was stunned that he did not decide on the name of the prince, which shows how much he attaches importance to this prince, she doesn't want to mess with her ideas, in case she turns back to Xiang Hongxuan

The name of the prince is not good, Xiang Hong Xuanxuan relied on her, so how wronged she was.

Xiang Hongxuan gently hooked the tip of Ling Xi's nose with his hand, and said with some displeasure: "The queen will be lazy." ”

Suddenly, Xiang Hongxuan looked at Ling Xi with some seriousness, and said softly: "Empress, do you think that the little prince is a little too thin?" The princess is only more than a month older than the prince, but I have hugged the princess, and the princess is much heavier than the prince. ”

"Of course, Your Majesty thinks that the princess's milk for more than a month is drunk in vain, and my sister must be heavier than my younger brother." Ling Xi smiled lightly and continued to speak informally.

Although she knew that Xiang Hongxuan was right, she didn't dare to tell Xiang Hongxuan that his son was fragile.

Xiang Hongxuan was amused by Ling Xi's words, he thought about it, they were all children under the age of one, but whoever ate more milk would be stronger.

At this time, Xiao Dezi also slowly walked into the East Warm Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, Marquis An and several adults are already waiting outside the courtyard for you to summon you."

Ling Xi was stunned, why did Jiang Zhennan enter the palace? She looked at Xiang Hongxuan's somewhat serious expression, it was likely that something had happened again in the previous dynasty, and she withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion in a playful manner.

.....................................................................................................................

Yan Qing glanced at Zuo Xiangyu Ziqi, the old fox was calmly drinking tea on the side, looking like he had nothing to do with himself. Yan Qing felt funny, his right minister was just a hand for the left minister, why did His Majesty want to use troops against Nanxi Kingdom, Yu Ziqi, the left minister who commanded the head of the hundred officials, was silent, and asked the officials to ask him for instructions on everything, Yu Ziqi wanted to hide, but I don't know if Yu Ziqi was because he couldn't solve the problem of military salary, or because of Zhou Xun, the son-in-law of the Nanren.

"Cao Shangshu, as long as I say war, you will cry poor like me, and even the chapter is almost the same, you really don't want to do this household book."

As he spoke, Xiang Hongxuan threw the piece in his hand in front of Cao Mo's eyes, and Cao Mo was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees. He is also a stomach full of grievances, it's not that he wants to cry poor, he really has no money. Before Xiang Hongxuan wanted to go to war with Xihua, the treasury could still make up military salaries at that time. But Xihua has been preparing for war for many years, and after a war with Xihua, Dongyu's family funds have been emptied over the years, and the treasury is really out of money. It's a pity that he cried poor and cried a few years earlier, and now Xiang Hongxuan definitely doesn't believe him.

Yan Qing looked at Yang Yi, he raised his eyebrows slightly, immediately got up and walked to the center of the house, and said: "Your Majesty, not only is it a matter of military salaries, but now that it is winter, it is indeed difficult to get together the food supply, and the supply of weapons from the Ministry of Industry is also a problem. ”

Xiang Hongxuan frowned, Ministry of Works? He looked at Yang Yi and immediately asked, "Yang Shangshu, what are the major projects of your Ministry of Industry this year?" Don't have the time to make weapons for the military department? ”

Yang Yi was taken aback, Yan Qing had a few meanings, and told Hongxuan about the matter of the household, how to dump the pot to work

At the head of the department, he hurriedly stepped forward, and just as he wanted to speak, he looked at Yu Ziqi who was sitting on the side, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the old minister was recuperating at home due to illness some time ago, and the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are handled by Zhou Xun, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry. Lao Chen heard Zhou Xun say that it was a few local officials who managed mining and metallurgy, and they were found to be corrupt by the Criminal Department, and those iron mines are now unmanaged, so the supply of iron ore has been cut off. The Ministry of Industry will not have time to build these weapons for the Ministry of War. ”

At this time, Qian Siyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, couldn't sit still, he also walked to Yang Yi's side and said, "Your Majesty, there are indeed a few officials who have been found to be seriously corrupt and have been convicted, just waiting for Your Majesty's holy ruling." ”

Xiang Hongxuan smiled bitterly, he just wanted to fight, the household department, the criminal department, and the Ministry of Industry, it seemed that they were all telling Xiang Hongxuan a fact, they couldn't fight, because there was nothing.

"Then there is no need to fight this battle, Nanxi Chen Shubao can go to the border to kill Dongyu's soldiers if he hunts, maybe one day he will be able to take his hunting honor guard into Yicheng, and then you don't know that you can't be so calm." Xiang Hongxuan said angrily.

"Your Majesty, there are 20,000 elite soldiers in the southern military camp, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the old minister will bear the brunt." Jiang Zhennan said loudly.

No one knows better than him Xiang Hongxuan's determination to destroy Nanxi Kingdom, as for the Dongyu soldier who was killed, it was just a fine work sent by Dongyu, Chen Shubao was lost while hunting at the border, and that fine work was found before he was killed, Xiang Hongxuan just found an excuse to send troops to Nanxi Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War can collect 100,000 troops and go to the south to support An Guohou at any time." Ye Zhiyuan also agreed.

Hearing Jiang Zhennan and Ye Zhiyuan say this, Xiang Hongxuan's anger eased a little. Yu Ziqi also dragged his trembling body and walked forward.

"Your Majesty, spring will begin soon, after the beginning of spring, the household department will mobilize surplus grain from warehouses in various places, and then count the treasury silver, the first batch of materials and military salaries needed for the war should be able to supply, and when the new grain will come down in June, the southern military camp will not have to worry about the food problem, and in half a year, the Ministry of Industry is also enough to build new weapons, and Your Majesty can fight this battle without worries."

Xiang Hongxuan sneered, sure enough, the officials of these six departments sometimes have to be knocked down, otherwise they don't care about anything. He looked at the old minister of the Three Dynasties Yu Zi Period again, Yu Zi Period, the left prime minister really calmed down, and he didn't ask about the Nanxi War until today, Xiang Hongxuan couldn't help frowning, Yu Zi Period's suggestion was good, but it still didn't satisfy him.

"Half a year is too long, three months, Yu Xiang, you have to urge all the ministries to complete their respective tasks on schedule, and by next winter at the latest, I will destroy Nanxi Kingdom."
