In the Great Zhou Imperial Palace in Tokyo, the festive atmosphere was relatively light, because a large number of soldiers were still fighting outside the country, and the court did not celebrate the festival with great fanfare. But after all, it was the Chinese New Year, and some red lanterns were added everywhere. The snow here is heavier, and snow can be seen everywhere on the rooftops, in the treetops, and on the ground; The Tokyo Imperial Palace has few flowers and trees, but now all of them are gone, and the buildings are magnificent and quaint, and the snow makes the white expanse extremely monotonous. The red lights hanging under the eaves and on the treetops are embellished with bright colors.

In the Long Live Palace, Fu Jinzhan had just received Guo Shao's letter. A while ago, she had learned about the assassins sent by the Southern Tang Kingdom, and she was still angry in her heart, but she had endured that incident and did not reveal it.

At first glance, the handwriting on the letter is Guo Shao's handwriting, a serious small letter. Fu Jinzhan read it in detail, it was all military and political reports, and there was nothing else to say. She turned her head to look at the envelope placed aside, it was written that it was for Fu Ermei, Fu Jinzhan picked it up and looked at it, and put it down again.

The Great Zhou army in Jiangnan progressed very smoothly, and there were several unexpected victories during this period, so that the chaotic battle situation became clear earlier, and the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. In the letter, Guo Shao budgeted that the war in Jiangnan might be completely ended next spring.

After reading the letter, she was a little distracted, still thinking to herself. At this time, Fu Jinzhan had already sniffed out the smell from the good news in Jiangnan. Guo Shao has the elite of the forbidden army in his hands, the guard division belongs to the two water divisions and the Jiannan army, plus the total strength of the town soldiers mobilized in various places may reach 200,000, and even the forbidden army stationed in Tokyo is also in the hands of his brother Yang Biao...... Fu Jinzhan guessed that when Guo Shao returned to the dynasty after the victory, the army was still under his command, and it should be a good opportunity for Guo Shao at that time.

It was a few moments before she reached out and took the mink shawl off her body. It was warmer inside the palace than outside, and she was already dressed thickly. The mink collar was fluffy, and after removing it, Fu Jinzhan was only left with a satin jacket skirt, which looked more delicate than wearing mink.

At this moment, a voice said: "The Queen Mother, the emperor has come to greet the Queen Mother." ”

Cao Tai, the eunuch standing on the side, first glanced at the person talking at the gate of the palace, and then turned his head to pay attention to Fu Jinzhan. Fu Jinzhan raised her head and nodded slightly. Cao Tai said: "The Queen Mother invites Your Majesty to come in." ”

After a while, a group of people walked into the palace, a child was pulled by a woman, the child was the little emperor Chai Zongxun, the person who pulled him was his nurse, and the one next to him was Concubine Du...... Fu Marigold let the little emperor recognize the stepmother. In addition, there are some palace maids and eunuchs.

Cao Tai stepped down from the throne and knelt on the ground to greet the little emperor. Fu Jinzhan sat still and did not move.

Chai Zongxun knelt down on the hall and saluted: "The son asks how the queen mother is well." "He was taught good manners, but he was still nursing at the age of five...... It's really because Fu Jinzhan didn't pay much attention to it, and the other people in the palace are used to pampering this emperor, and no one deliberately weaned him.

Fu Jinzhan smiled and said, "Xun'er, get up quickly." ”

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother......" Chai Zongxun got up and ran over happily, and the woman behind hurriedly got up and said carefully: "Your Majesty, you have to slow down." ”

He walked up to Fu Jinzhan and said, "There are people building snowmen in the back, and I want to play too, but the nurse won't let me go." ”

"It's too cold, the nurse is for your good." Fu Jinzhan said casually.

Chai Zongxun said in a childish voice: "Erchen listens to the words of the queen mother. ”

Fu Jinzhan smiled when he heard this. She doesn't like to talk to children, she doesn't like to tease them, she always finds them boring; But I was still very happy to hear Chai Zongxun's words. I looked at the child again, and found that he actually looked good, wearing a small yellow brocade robe, which only adults would wear, but he had a naughty and cute appearance when he wore it.

However, will this child be willing to listen to himself when he grows up? Of course, if the little emperor can really grow up in the palace, it will not be easy to get back the imperial power, and it may be even more difficult to stabilize the situation of the country...... In this world, it is almost impossible, and the situation will not give him that long.

Fu Jinzhan rarely reached out and pinched Chai Zongxun's face, quite sympathetic, and said in his heart: I don't know if you are lucky to be born in this royal family; It's still bad luck, it happens to be a chaotic royal family.

In any case, this kid is no wonder Fu Jinzhan and others. Because even if there is no Guo Shao, there will be others, who will take the same path in that position, and a five-year-old child will have no chance to defend the country.

Fu Jinzhan and Chai Zongxun talked for a while, and then motioned to Concubine Du and the nurse to take him away.

She glanced at the unopened letter placed next to her again, picked it up, got up and returned to the dormitory in the back, to see Second Sister Fu.

Fu Ermei's stomach is already obvious now, and when she saw that Marigold brought Guo Shao's letter, she was surprised and opened it.

Marigold glanced at her sister's erect belly, "If the second sister can give birth to a son, it would be a good thing." ”

Second Sister Fu put down the letter and said with a smile: "I remember that the eldest sister said that she didn't like children, how can you talk about it now?" ”

Marigold was noncommittal, and said: "Second sister likes children? ”

Second Sister Fu's eyes rolled in thought, and replied, "I like my own, I don't like other people's children very much." I could feel him kick me in the stomach...... I can't bend over now, and if I drop something on the ground and there's no one around, it's going to be a lot of trouble. I also feel nauseous and want to throw up. On this cold day, I often get up at night, which is very troublesome......"

"Are you still happy for such a hard work?" Marigold looked at her puzzled.

Second Sister Fu said: "In the past few months, the more difficult it is, the more I feel that it is important...... Hey, I can't tell. If the eldest sister is pregnant, she will know what is going on. ”

Marigold glanced at the palace maid standing in the afterglow, and smiled casually: "I already call myself a mourner, how can I still be pregnant, how can the second sister open her mouth and talk nonsense?" ”

Second Sister Fu is not too lacking in heart, and after hearing this, she immediately changed her words: "I said something wrong. ”

The two discussed it well, and suddenly they had nothing to say for a while. Fu Jinzhan pondered, although the second sister was generous, she might have cared a little about that matter, but she couldn't help it because of her sisterhood for many years...... Jin Zhan thought that this was also his own sin, and in order to promote Guo Shao as soon as possible and establish a stable marriage relationship, he actually promised Fu Ermei to him; After promising the second sister, he failed to restrain and could not maintain a relationship with Guo Shao who was only in alliance. To this day, it has made a mess of things.

However, as long as the second sister Fu gave birth to a son, she was the eldest son. Marigold felt that this matter was important to everyone in the Fu family...... Even if the two sisters are emotional, they should trust and rely on each other intellectually.
