"Bianxi was defeated, and almost all the places we occupied were eaten back by Su Jue."

The late autumn wind is cold, and the gentle sun doesn't have any warmth. The boy sat quietly, his slender fingers pinching a chess piece and regularly tapping the chessboard full of black and white chess pieces.

"Do you think this Su Jue is a human or a ghost?" After a long time, the young man said in a low voice, his well-defined face showed a little anger, "He only has about 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can he stop our 30,000 elite soldiers?" ”

"Although there are few people under Su Jue, they are all warriors who have experienced a hundred battles and are familiar with the terrain, the border terrain is complicated, and our soldiers are not in good condition after a long journey," the kneeling man trembled slightly, he knew that his master was angry, "he will ......"

"However, you should know that if we don't break through Su Jue's defense, our friends outside the border won't be able to join us......" The young man's immature face showed an old age that did not match his age, and said coldly, "Our plan will not be realized." ”

"Yes, yes...... You're right...... "The kneeling man did not dare to speak anymore."

"There is also a lot of pressure in the country, although there are people from all over the country to divert attention, but this time the three major clans join forces, we don't have much energy......" The young man sighed and waved his hand, "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run...... Command to go down, and everyone rest, without my command...... Let's just rest all the time...... In addition, those soldiers who died in the battle gave their families ten taels of gold to their families. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Ten taels of gold is not a small amount, this is enough for an ordinary family to eat for a whole year, but His Highness has already said so, and he can only do it.

Su Jue...... Su Jia...... It seems that I underestimated you......" The young man squinted his eyes as he propped up his fair face.

In a trance, he seemed to see that in the winter of that year, the little girl in the pink robe crashed into his arms, and the little pink face almost melted his heart.

In the next moment, it was dark.

He also saw a man who looked like his mother being pointed at and scolded as a "monster" by everyone.

Then he got sick, as if he had been in a coma for a long time, and when he woke up again, his mother was gone, everyone was crying, only he was expressionless, he looked at the white paper flying in the sky, like snowflakes, it was so beautiful.

Some people say that the emperor died, and the throne was inherited by the youngest son.

The throne that was supposed to be inherited by the eldest son was taken away by the second son, and the eldest son was so pitiful, he thought to himself.

When the boy opened his eyes again, it was already evening. He only squinted for a while, why was it dark, he stretched his waist slightly, and his handsome face was a little soft.

After a while, it will be the New Year of praying for the country, and this year's banquet should be a little more lively than in previous years.

Fengqi Palace.

Since meeting the third princess, Su Yao began to study the rules and etiquette of the palace seriously, but what made Su Yao collapse was that there were too many things to learn! Although it is true that as a queen, she is not even familiar with the etiquette in the palace, but the etiquette book that is so thick that Su Yao doubts her life makes her want to vomit blood every time, it turns out that the third princess wants to crush her to death with books...... Didn't you just scream a few more times Ling Yi? Is it necessary? Won't you be able to pay attention next time!

With Ling Tian's help, many people were a little respectful to them, the Shangfu Bureau sent brand-new palace clothes, and the imperial dining room also sent some supplements from time to time, but it was really just a little respectful, she and Xiaohuan walked on the side of the road, and most people still ignored them.

"You've lost a lot of weight, is there too much etiquette in the palace?" Ling Yi gently held Su Yao in her arms and gently stroked her soft long hair. Recently, I am in a good mood, the chaos in the country has been calmed down, Su Jue has made a lot of contributions, we must reward him well, maybe we can also use this to recall him back to the palace, Su Yao has the help of the third emperor sister, and the queen's position has a few more chances of winning, but the only regret is that the eldest sister and the second emperor sister have something to do and can't get away, and I am afraid that this year's New Year's banquet will not come back.

"The slave knows that she is worried about the emperor, and everything is worth it." Su Yao replied softly, this was what Sun Yaruo taught her, she has not yet become a queen, and she does not have a title, so she can only call herself "slave" to the emperor. Sun Yaruo is very familiar with the etiquette in the palace, and with her help in the past few days, Su Yao has roughly figured out the etiquette in the palace. But Su Yao still couldn't help but complain, isn't this nonsense? I'm almost blind when I see it.

"What slave, you are my queen," Ling Yi frowned and said, "Even if you don't have that complicated post-book matter, you are still my queen." ”

"Yes." Those eyes are so good-looking, Su Yao answered, and he kissed her lips, at this moment, her whole body was soft, and she remembered that the soft touch after she said that she was going to enter the palace that day was this.

After a long time, her lips parted, and Su Yao's lips were slightly swollen.

"The Fengyi of the Shangfu Bureau has been completed, and I will let them deliver it tomorrow." Ling Yi lay comfortably on the bed, the domestic turmoil had calmed down, and he could finally sleep well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Su Yao responded, somewhat expecting in her heart.

When she looked at Ling Yi again, he was already asleep. This guy is tired these days...... If you look closely, his eyelashes are so long. Oh no! Su Yao, who was lying next to Ling Yi and could see her god, suddenly raised her head, and then yelled in her heart, You snatched my quilt again, bastard!

Prayer Cloud Hall.

Ling Tian took a small bite of the peach crisp, and said to Su Yao, who seemed to be drooling on the side: "This palace heard that the emperor has sent someone to send the phoenix clothes to the Fengqi Palace, what, don't you want to try it?" ”

"Ah, Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, that phoenix robe is indeed gorgeous and magnificent, but only the queen is qualified to wear it, if you wear it now, I am afraid it will be inappropriate." Su Yao replied, staring at the peach cake in Ling Tian's hand with big eyes. Xiaohuan said that the princess and the emperor can only take a small bite when eating, and the rest must be thrown away, which is too wasteful, such a small peach cake, if she were to eat at least twenty, no, thirty! "It's better to wait until the day of Your Majesty's book, and then it's not too late to wear it."

Ling Tian nodded slightly, this girl is not as stupid as she imagined, but she seems to be a little ...... For a moment, Ling Tian felt that she had misunderstood, she actually saw this girl staring directly at the peach crisp in her hand and snorting...... "The rules in the palace, do you have a familiar back?" ”

"With Sun Shangyi personally teaching, although the slaves and maids are dull, they have all mastered it." After speaking, Su Yao saluted Sun Yaruo on the side. When talking about slaves, Su Yao also specially accentuated her tone. This is Sun Yaruo's repeated orders, and now she has not become the queen, nor does she have any other position, and she must call herself a "slave" in front of the emperor and princess.

Sun Yaruo nodded. Unexpectedly, this Su Yao looked stupid and stupid, and she really had some talent in learning the etiquette of the palace.

"So ......" Ling Tian smiled slightly, took out the delicate peach crisp from the plate and took a small bite, "If you meet the second emperor sister in this palace, what kind of etiquette should you do?" ”

Su Yao was silent for a while.

At this moment, Sun Yaruo on the side was in a hurry. Ling Tian obviously wanted to verify the results of this time. If Su Yao couldn't answer, the princess would be angry, and she would not be able to escape punishment as a teacher. In fact, it didn't matter if she was punished, but she was afraid of being ...... by the princess again

"You and the second princess are both royal relatives, the royal family salutes, the grade is higher than their own second grade and within, the owe body salute, the above small bow, when the position is equal, the younger one salutes first." Su Yao glanced at the peach cake that was put aside by Ling Tian and said fluently.

"Okay, it's not bad," Ling Tian smiled and clapped his hands, the etiquette in the palace is too complicated, if you want to read it all, even the eyes of the gods will be blind, looking at Su Yao's confident appearance, Ling Tian suddenly felt that this girl seemed to be quite powerful, at least she could answer her own questions. Ling Tian touched the hidden cheat sheet, and wanted to continue to ask her, but found that the cheat sheet was missing, she was shocked, her little face turned over two blushes, Su Yao and Sun Yaruo were beside her, she couldn't get up and rummage, so she had to cough lightly and take a sip of hot tea, "Okay, this palace believes you." ”

"Huh?" Su Yao subconsciously glanced at Sun Yaruo, a little incredulous, this is over? Yesterday, Sun Yaruo told herself that it was not easy to pass the third princess, which caused Su Yao to not sleep well all night...... Didn't expect to pass the test so easily today?

Sun Yaruo was also a little puzzled, the third princess has always been strict, why did she let her go so easily this time? Looking at the red little face of the third princess, Sun Yaruo frowned, as if she had guessed something, so she coughed lightly, "Okay, thank you princess yet." ”

Su Yao still felt strange after thanking her, when a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Her Royal Highness Princess, Concubine Su asks to see you."

"Concubine Su?" Ling Tian's face turned cold, and he said lightly to the palace maid who came to report the news, "Let's just say that this palace is in poor health, and I don't see it." ”

Su Guifei? Su Yao said it twice, this Su Guifei seems to have heard Xiaohuan say it. Su Yier was born as a side branch of the Su family. In terms of seniority, I should also call her a cousin. In recent years, the Su family has been in decline, and many collateral families have left the Su family to find a new shelter, and Su Yier's family has found the big tree of Zhu Xiangguo, who has the power to reach the sky. Su Yier even recognized Zhu Xiangguo as her father-in-law. In the past few years, Su Yier has relied on Zhu Xiangguo's support, arrogant and domineering, without any obstacles, all the way to the position of the concubine, but she is not favored.

"Princess, Su Yi'er is on Zhu Xiangguo's side, if we don't see it, I'm afraid Zhu Xiangguo's side will ......" Sun Yaruo reminded in a low voice.

"A little concubine, is this palace really afraid of her?" Ling Tian snorted angrily, Su Yi'er has become more and more arrogant these days, and she has become less and less interested in her, the third princess, "If you want to see this palace, you can see it, but now you don't want to see it, let her go." ”

"What made Her Royal Highness the Third Princess so angry?" Before Ling Tian's words fell, a shrill voice came from outside.

Su Yao looked out, the owner of the voice was about the same age as herself, and although her appearance was not as captivating as the third princess, she was also reasonable. The clothes she wore were very elegant, and there were a lot of flowers embroidered on them, maybe the embroidery was too realistic, and from a distance, Su Yao thought that she had inserted all the flowers picked by the roadside on her body.

The palace maid who followed behind knelt on the ground in a panic and said to Ling Tian: "The slave maid has already told Su Guifei, but Su Guifei still insists on breaking in and begging Her Royal Highness the princess for forgiveness." ”

Ling Tian waved his hand and motioned for the palace maid to go down, and said lightly: "This palace has been in poor health recently, if Concubine Su has nothing important, go back." ”

Su Yi'er smiled slightly, as if she hadn't heard what Ling Tian said, she slowly turned her gaze to Su Yao on the side, and asked to herself, "Your Royal Highness the Third Princess, is this the new palace maid in your palace?" How do you look so ...... If you lack a palace maid, you can talk to the palace, and the palace will let the emperor give you more ......"

"Don't bother Concubine Su." Ling Tian's face turned cold and interrupted.

"I've seen my cousin." Originally, Su Yao didn't want to speak, because Su Yi'er looked at her like ...... It's like Ah Huang's longing gaze when she puts the meat and bones in front of Ah Huang at home. But this Su Guifei kept looking at herself, which really made her a little uncomfortable.

"Shut up! I am the concubine, the queen of the great prayer in the future, who is your cousin? Hearing Su Yao say this, Su Yi'er was furious and raised her slap high, but before it fell, she was held down tightly by Sun Yaruo.

"Concubine Niangniang, please respect yourself, this is the Qiyun Palace," Sun Yaruo's hand was so strong that Su Yier couldn't move, "In front of Her Royal Highness the princess, don't be presumptuous!" ”

"In front of you is the daughter of the Su family, Su Yao." Ling Tian glanced at Su Yi'er with a smile, and said in a nice voice, "In terms of seniority, you should indeed call her a cousin." ”

When talking about "concubine", Ling Tian deliberately aggravated it. Su Yier was furious when she heard this, and all along, the identity of the concubine on the side was like a sharp knife, stabbing her.

"I'm a concubine, how dare you be rude?" Su Yi'er struggled hard, but she was never able to break free, she looked at Sun Yaruo who was smiling angrily and said.

"If the concubine is unwell, go back and rest early." Ling Tian smiled, only feeling comfortable in his heart, "Yaruo, don't send the concubine Niangniang yet." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Highness, thank you for giving me peach crisp." didn't go to see Su Yi'er who was taken away by Sun Yaruo, Su Yao happily stuffed the delicious peach crisp in her mouth. It's so delicious...... Suddenly I felt that my life was complete. It's too wasteful to take such a delicious peach crisp and don't want it after only biting a little bite.

"What do you think of that Su Yi'er who came today?" Ling Tian waved his hand, watching others eat what he had left, he always felt a little strange.

"It's just a straw bale, whatever she does." Su Yao blurted out, her attention was all on the delicious peach cake, and she didn't care about Ling Tian's surprise at all.

Looking at Su Yao, who looked a little ugly and had no stop in her mouth, Ling Tian was thoughtful.
