In the bright Xiangying Palace, a few plum blossoms are dotted in the cyan gilt vase, and the fragrance is undercurrent, adding a bit of spring.

The palace maids and eunuchs were busy, and they arranged the delicacies on the long desk.

After a while, Queen Zhuge Liuying and a group of concubines walked into the palace, as well as the prince and princess, they sat down, everyone talked and laughed, and the scene was very harmonious.

Xiao Rui, who had finished reviewing the recital from the Heart Cultivation Palace, happened to come over, stood outside the hall and watched this scene, and did not enter immediately.

The people in here are their own families.

Zhuge Liuying, Li Ruoxue, Zhang Ruoxi, Li Xiuer, Lu Pheasant, Lu Su, A Zhu, Yan Xiaoxiao, Yan Linglong, these are all the beauties of Xiao Rui's harem, from his succession to the present, he has never drafted to supplement the harem, nor has he favored female officials or palace maids, because these women have grown up with him, and it is enough to have them.

Now, they also have crystallization, four sons, four daughters, Azhu is now pregnant, and the children are also sensible and intelligent, Xiao Rui has nothing else to ask for.

There is only one regret that makes Xiao Rui's heart one piece less.

I don't know when, Li Xiu'er walked over.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Li Xiu'er asked.

Xiao Rui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, I remembered someone." ”

"Qingqing?" Li Xiu'er asked softly.

Xiao Rui nodded.

Since King Ruyang committed suicide by taking poison, Xiao Qingqing accompanied his mother and Xiao Quan back to his hometown in Lanling, and he has never seen her again over the years.

Although Xiao Quan often wrote to Xiao Rui to tell Xiao Qingqing about the situation, Xiao Rui still felt a deficiency in his heart.

Xiao Quan's letter wrote: After Xiao Qingqing returned to his hometown in Lanling, he lived in a simple life, and his life became more and more peaceful, accompanying his mother every day, or planting flowers and tasting tea himself.

Since the imperial capital was moved to Zhongzhou, Xiao Quan proposed to go to Zhongzhou more than once, but Xiao Qingqing refused, and Princess Ruyang also persuaded Xiao Qingqing, telling her that death is the best belonging, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and other people will not be dragged down.

But Xiao Qingqing still refused.

She never blamed Xiao Rui for her father's death, she just didn't have the courage to meet Xiao Rui and love him. Because of Xiao Rui's mother's death, she is inextricably linked with her father, so she feels very guilty.

Now Xiao Rui has a confidant lover and obedient children by his side, and he can go or not by himself.

Li Xiu'er often exchanged letters with Xiao Qingqing, so she naturally knew Xiao Qingqing's situation, and she said: "Since Your Majesty misses her, why don't you make a will and let Qingqing come to meet her?" ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "She didn't figure it out, why force her, it's only sad to come." ”

"Your Majesty, Qingqing's temperament is straight, admitting death, and it is difficult for outsiders to enlighten her. In fact, it is very simple for her to figure it out, there is a way for concubines. Li Xiuer said.

Xiao Rui asked, "What way?" ”

Li Xiu'er smiled and said, "There are some big ways to go against the grain. ”

"Tell me about it?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

Who knows, Li Xiu'er remained mysterious, and said: "This matter will be handed over to the concubine, and it is guaranteed that Qingqing will suddenly be enlightened, Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and you just need to wait quietly for the result." However, His Majesty must forgive the concubine for the great disrespect sin, otherwise the concubine will not be able to eat and leave, and the concubine will not want to die. ”

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "Who dares to kill you?" I don't want to live anymore. Since you have a way, do what you say, okay. 360 Literature Network

Immediately he entered the temple with her.

Seeing Xiao Rui enter the hall, everyone saluted and bowed: "The concubine (son-in-law) greets Your Majesty!" ”

Xiao Rui said: "No courtesy! This is a family banquet, no outsiders, let's all sit. ”

After Xiao Rui sat down, everyone sat down.

"Let's go!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Only then did everyone move their chopsticks, because it was a family banquet, and Xiao Rui didn't like too many rules, how could there be so many rules for a family meal, plus a few little guys to add fun, this meal was very warm.

After the family banquet, Li Xiuer called Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang is now the commander of the forbidden army beside Xiao Rui, guarding the palace and responsible for Xiao Rui's safety.

"Humble and meet my mother!" Li Yuanfang bowed.

Li Xiu'er said: "You also heard the words of the palace and Your Majesty just now, Xiao Qingqing's matter must be resolved, otherwise it will be Your Majesty's heart disease." Just now, His Majesty asked the palace to be in charge of this matter, so the palace needs you to go to Lanling in person. ”

Li Yuanfang said respectfully: "I understand the lowly position, I don't know what I need to do when I get to Lanling?" ”

Li Xiu'er said: "I have already repaired a letter to Xiao Quan, remember, this letter is for Xiao Quan, not Xiao Qingqing, you can take a look at the content of this letter first!" ”

Li Yuanfang wondered in his heart, but he still opened the letter paper to take a look, and when he saw it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he was shocked: "Niangniang, this letter..."

"Although this matter is very rebellious, Your Majesty has agreed, you can act according to the content of the letter, and you must not show your truth. Xiao Quan read this letter, and naturally understood how to do it, if the success or failure is not, it depends on you and Xiao Quan, heart disease should be treated with heavy medicine, and this dose of heavy medicine in this palace will be effective. Li Xiuer said with a smile.

Li Yuanfang hugged his fists and said: "Humble and orderly!" Let's go out of the palace! ”

Li Xiuer waved her hand and asked Li Yuanfang to step back.

Subsequently, Li Yuanfang arranged his work, told Xiao Rui, and immediately left the palace to go to Lanling. Xiao Rui wanted to ask Li Xiu'er what her plan was, but in the end, he thought that she was full of confidence, so he didn't ask in detail.

In the following days, as the weather warmed up, the Shenzhou continent was completely busy, and the fields were full of people who were busy with spring ploughing, and they had to use their hard work to obtain food for survival.

At such a moment in the grassland, the grass grows and the warbler flies, it was the time when the cattle, horses and sheep were thriving, and they survived this cold and harsh winter, the Yuan people should be singing and dancing, but now they can't dance.

In the vast grassland, there are few large tribes on the fertile land, and there are only a few small tribes, which seem extremely small.

At this time, under the deterrence and drive of the soldiers and horses of the Great Xia of the Four Routes, a large number of Yuan people moved with their families, and they had fled to eight hundred miles north of the royal court, and then went north to Hanhai.

At this moment, the glaciers are towering, the snow has not melted, and the environment is very harsh.

But in order to survive, countless tribes chose to flee north, which is also the reason why there are few Yuan people in the vast grassland.

Great Xia now not only destroyed the national unity of the Yuan Kingdom, but also drove them to Hanhai, and he had to do what he said.

At the same time, Xiao Rui had already ordered the establishment of three major metropolitan protectorates in the grassland, namely the eastern metropolitan protectorate, with the royal court as the core. The central capital of the palace is a thousand miles west of the royal court. The western capital of the Protectorate, which is now the place where the Mongol tribes gathered.

From then on, the vast grassland is the back garden of Great Xia, which can provide countless cattle, sheep and horses for Great Xia.

The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
