"Sister!" "Auntie! "Mother!"

There was a feeling of joy in the Jiaofang Palace, Wei Shao'er pulled Huo Qu'er to look left and right, and said angrily: "Go to the sick, do you have to tell your mother the truth, are you injured?" ”

Huo Quzhi grinned and said, "Mother, I'm fine!" ”

"Sister, don't worry, I'm looking at this kid, I'm not hurt!" Wei Qing interjected on the side, "Just now in the palace, His Majesty praised him for being worth a hundred and bravely crowning the three armies!" In front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, we will be crowned as champions! ”

"Really?" Wei Shao'er couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and asked in disbelief: "You were made a marquis by Your Majesty?" Is this serious? ”

"Seriously! Sister! Wei Qing walked over and patted Huo Quzhi's shoulder and smiled, "He's a serious Hou Ye now!" ”

Huo Quzhi smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle, my champion Hou is far worse than your general!" ”

"That's a mistake!" Wei Qing said, "In my Han Dynasty, you can't be crowned a marquis, you are young and promising, and you will definitely be blue in the future!" ”

"Don't be humble to each other!" Wei Zifu said with a smile, "I won the first battle of my illness, congratulations!" Wei Qing has been fighting for many years and has made great achievements! Your Majesty said, Wei Qinghe is sick, he can be called a big man! ”

"The Great Man!" Wei Shao'er clapped his hands and laughed, "Your Majesty is really good at complimenting people!" ”

Wei Zifu said with a smile: "Not only that, Your Majesty also passed down the message that a family banquet will be held in the Jiaofang Palace tomorrow to congratulate Wei Qing and his return from illness!" ”

----

The next day, when the lights are raised, the Jiaofang Hall is already full of delicious wine, slow singing and dancing. Liu Che and Wei Zifu sat in the middle, on one side, Gongsun He, the Marquis of Gongsun He, with his wife and children, Wei Junru and Gongsun Jingsheng, Zhan Shichen and his wife Wei Shao'er, and Wei Qing with his eldest son Wei Yan and Huo Quzhi kneeling on the other side. Liu Che raised the bottle and said: "I am very relieved to return from this battle with a great victory!" Drain! ”

"!" Everyone lifted the bottle and drank it all.

Liu Che said with a smile: "Wei Qing has been on the battlefield for a long time, and there is a furrow in his chest, so I don't need to say much. Ran Huo Qubing was so brave that in the first battle, he dared to go hundreds of miles into the desert alone, and captured the nobles like digging for things, which made me have to be impressed! ”

Huo Qu was sick and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty praises falsely, going to the sick is also a fluke victory!" ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Chelang laughed loudly, "Now there are rumors in my army that a young man named Huo Quai, how can he be bold and brave!" ”

"Queen, I also want to thank you for sending these two generals to me!" Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu and said with a smile on his face.

Wei Zifu smiled on his cheeks and said respectfully: "What is the virtue and ability of the concubine, it is all Your Majesty's unique vision, which gave Wei Qinghe the opportunity to establish meritorious deeds!" ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Che was even more happy when he heard this, and praised: "The queen is virtuous! ”

"I have the twin powers of your empire, so why should I be afraid of the Huns in the future!" Liu Che looked at Wei Huo, and said slowly: "Since the siege of Gaozu Baideng, the Xiongnu are the trouble of my Han henchmen, thinking that I am thousands of miles away from the plains outside Chang'an City, there is no danger to rely on. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers and the sick are willing to be the forerunner of Your Majesty, and in this life, they will fight horses and swear to sweep away the Huns for the Han Dynasty!" Wei Qing bowed his hand, and Huo Quzhi also said: "Go to the sick and my uncle will definitely sweep away the border troubles for Your Majesty and protect the peace of my Han!" ”

"Good! Good! Liu Che said, "I have a general and a champion, why worry about the Huns not being destroyed?" I am looking forward to the royal court in Monan! ”

----

Since the return of the Xiang, the border is peaceful, and the court is naturally smooth and rainy. For more than half a year, the inner servants didn't need to ask Liu Che which palace to stay in at night, naturally they all went to the Jiaofang Hall to check the emperor's daily needs, and even the newly favored Li Meiren in the harem couldn't help complaining to the inner servants, the emperor had not entered the Lan Room for a long time, not to mention Liu Ling's side, which was very deserted, and Liu Che had not set foot in the Qutai Hall for several months.

The little palace maids in the Qutai Hall were all frightened, for fear that the master would be unsatisfactory, and the unprovoked disasters would come over, and they would tiptoe one by one, and they couldn't wait to even shrink up when they walked, but no matter how they trembled, they would still come.

"Bang dang!" There was a loud bang, followed by Liu Ling's loud scolding: "Which who doesn't have long eyes hits the water?" Is this trying to burn Hongu? ”

"Damn it! Slaves and maids should be damned! The little palace maid who was washing water was paralyzed on the ground with her legs, and she couldn't stop begging for mercy, Liu Ling was so angry that he grabbed something and smashed it at the palace maid, "Crawl outside and kneel, you can't get up without the consent of the palace!" ”

It was freezing outside, and Liu Ling's punishment palace maid either froze to death or knelt down, and the little palace maid knew that begging for mercy might be a greater punishment, so she also shut up and crawled out of the hall in despair.

The snow was blowing one after another, the little palace maid couldn't stand the cold, and fainted from the cold, and a fellow villager in the palace couldn't stand it, remembering that there was a fellow villager sister who listened to the errand in the queen's Jiaofang Palace, and hurriedly ran over.

----

"Sister Yun Niang, please beg the queen to save a little fellow of the slaves." The agarwood in the Jiaofang hall is smoking, the silver charcoal is red, the emperor came to eat in the evening, Yun Niang was methodically dotting everything, and suddenly a palace maid in the hall hurriedly came over.

"Don't worry, what's going on?" Yun Niang hurriedly stopped the work in her hand when she heard the sound, and asked with concern.

The palace maid who came to ask for help came to the little fellow villagers in the Qutai Hall one by one, Yun Niang frowned when she heard it, she knew that the queen was merciful by nature, but this matter was an internal matter of the Qutai Hall after all, and it was appropriate for the queen to deal with it?

The palace maid looked at Yun Niang's hesitation, and said while crying: "Sister Yun Niang, the queen holds the six palace seals, even if Mrs. Liu is favored, she has to be afraid of the queen for three points, right?" My little fellow still has a high hall on top, if no one saves her, I'm afraid she will die in this ice and snow! Ask Sister Yun Niang to find the queen! ”

Yun Niang was soft-hearted, and she couldn't see anyone so sad and sad, so she gritted her teeth, took the hand of the palace maid and said, "Go!" I'll take you to the Queen. ”

"Thank you, Sister Yunniang!" The palace maid hurriedly wiped her tears and hurried to the inner hall with Yun Niang.

"Queen, please hurry up and save people!" Yun Niang pulled the palace maid and saw Wei Zifu plop down and fell to the ground. Wei Zifu was making a female red, and when he saw this, he hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand, and asked in surprise: "Yun Niang, what are you doing?" What happened? ”

Yun Niang explained the matter simply, and then said: "The slave maid knows that this is a matter of the Qutai Palace, which makes the queen embarrassed, but human life is at stake, and the slave and maid can't take care of this much, so she brought her over to beg the queen, begging the queen to go to the Qutai Hall and save the little palace maid." ”

Xu was worried that Wei Zifu would not agree, and the palace maid begged again: "I ask the queen to be merciful and save my little fellow countryman, and if I don't save her again, I am afraid that her life will be lost in Qutai Hall today." ”

"Yun Niang, help me up!" Wei Zifu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you will take the palace over now." ”

The palace maid got the queen's consent, and she didn't know how to thank her. Wei Zifu looked at the sky outside the window, picked up the brocade robe on the agarwood shelf and put it on, and instructed Yun Niang: "Take care of Gui Changhai, if Your Majesty comes by royal car, just say that the palace will visit the prince and return in a moment." ”

"No!" Yun Niang patted her brain and blamed herself, "What kind of brain is this, slave, I forgot Your Majesty's dinner!" ”

"Okay, you're also eager to save people's hearts, let's go!" Wei Zifu's words were soft, without the slightest blame. As the queen, her compassion and approachability have always made the palace people of Jiaofang Hall feel very lucky, and what a blessing she has accumulated to meet a good master.

----

Qutai Hall is located in the northwest corner of the Jiaofang Palace, the twilight has not yet fallen, the palace lamp in the hall has been raised, reflecting the snow, but revealing a little warmth of the cold winter.

Walking to the Qutai Palace, I saw a palace maid not far from the palace door, looking around from time to time, anxiously walking around.

"Chunmei!" The maidservants in Wei Zifu's palace hurriedly shouted, "The queen is here!" ”

The palace maid called Chunmei hurriedly ran over when she heard the sound, and saw Wei Zifu bending down and bowing: "Slave Chunmei has seen the queen!" ”

"Get up! What happened to the punished little? Wei Zifu asked with concern.

"Back to the queen, she was kneeling outside the inner hall of her lady before, and now she has passed out for more than an hour." Chunmei's face was full of sorrow, and she sobbed: "I don't know if I can be saved..."

"Let's take Hongu to see it." Wei Zifu said in a good voice, "The Imperial Doctor is already on the way, and he will always try his best to save him." ”

"Thank you, Queen!" Chunmei thanked Wei Zifu and led the way in front.

----

"The queen has arrived!" The sound outside the hall surprised Liu Ling, and he reluctantly put down the soup in his hand, and muttered to himself: "Why did she come over?" ”

Reluctantly, after all, the queen is the lord of the six palaces, and the things on the scene still have to be done, Liu Ling brushed his skirt and greeted him with a smile: "Concubine Liu Ling has seen the queen!" ”

Wei Zifu walked into the hall and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liu is exempt!" It's the palace that came to disturb it! ”

Liu Ling hurriedly instructed the palace people to serve tea, and Qu Yi greeted him: "The queen is so noble, she is a distinguished guest who can't be invited on weekdays, but it's getting late now, I'm afraid the queen has something to come, right?" ”

Wei Zifu smiled and said: "Mrs. Liu is really a delicate and clear person, and there is indeed something to do when she came here today, so this palace will make a long story short." ”

"Queen, please speak!" Liu Ling said with a smile.

"The palace heard that there is a palace maid in the Qutai Hall who was punished on a snowy day, and now the personnel are unconscious..."Speaking of this, Wei Zifu raised his eyes, Liu Ling did not show the slightest expression, and his heart was really the master who did not panic, so he continued: "This palace maid is very good with the personal maid in my palace, and the central person begged to come to the palace, so the palace came to ask the lady for a favor and spared this servant who committed the crime." ”

"It turned out to be such a trivial matter, and Queen Lao came, it's really a concubine." Liu Ling sneered in his heart, pleading for a lowly servant girl, which is something that only a low-born person like you Wei Zifu would do, and made a twelve-point grievance on his face, and said half-truthfully: "This maid made a mistake, and the concubine body also alarmed the queen with a little punishment, and in the future, the concubine body will have to be careful to control the people under her." ”

These words sound reasonable and affectionate, neither soft nor hard, obviously it is a small volt low, but secretly it is a proper soft nail. Wei Zifu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "That's really the palace's, the palace remembers His Majesty's benevolence and respect for people, and hopes that the harem is also a piece of harmony, but in the final analysis, punishing the maid is also a matter in the lady's palace, and the palace's intervention is indeed suspected of being too lenient, but it makes it difficult for the lady to do." ”

Wei Zifu's words sounded like he understood Liu Ling's difficulties, but the implication was that the emperor hoped that the harem would be harmonious, and sure enough, Liu Ling listened to it and immediately blamed himself: "The queen must not say it again, the concubine body has no place to be ashamed, why is it difficult for the queen's benevolent concubine body to say?" must have responded to the queen. It was the little maid who made a mistake who asked the queen to come over. ”

Wei Zifu smiled modestly and said gently: "Madame doesn't need to blame herself, Jiaofang Hall and Qutai Hall are not far away, so you should move around often, Madame is so reasonable, this palace remembers it." ”

While she was talking, Yun Niang walked over, and said to Wei Zifu: "Queen, Da Changqiu sent someone over to spread the word, Your Majesty's imperial chariot is about to arrive at the Jiaofang Palace, and please ask the queen to come over earlier." ”

"Got it." Wei Zifu still smiled faintly, turned his head to Liu Ling and said, "Your Majesty is coming, and the palace will go back first." ”

"Congratulations to the Queen!" Liu Ling had a smile on his face, but he hated it in his heart. Since the last time Wushan Yunyu, Liu Che has not set foot in Qutai Hall for a long time, and now it is just Wei Qing and others who have made war exploits, and this Wei Zifu has become the top person in the emperor's heart again, and even the people in his palace have to interfere, which is really hateful. It's just that this Wei Zifu will be so favored if he has a family to help him, if he also has such a mother's family, he must be several times more than her, thinking of his father who is far away in Huainan, Liu Ling sighed quietly.

"Sui'er!" Liu Ling instructed the maidservant beside him: "Go and inquire about today's incident who reported the letter to Wei Zifu, and find a reason in the future, so that she and the damn bitch can't talk even if they want to!" ”

"No!" Although Sui'er was waiting for Liu Ling closely, she had seen Liu Ling's methods, and when she heard the words, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, feeling sad that a rabbit died and a fox died.
