It is said that Zhu Zhichun and Xu Zhongqing returned to Ruixiang Palace with the empress. The empress's face was very haggard, and the three female ministers also stayed up until this time from the back night; The third princess has been sleepless all night since she got the information. The empress summoned the three female ministers overnight, and Xu Zhongqing also met with a group of guests overnight. Therefore, she chose to recommend herself to go to the northwest frontier, and it was decided after repeated deliberations by the "think tank".

Taking advantage of the empress returning to the palace to change her court clothes, the female Shi Xijing walked into the front hall of Ruixiang Palace. She was followed by several maidservants, each holding an embroidered pier or square chair in her hand.

Xijing walked in front of the third princess first, bowed down and crossed her hands and said, "Third princess, Your Majesty will give you a seat." ”

Xu Zhongqing hurriedly thanked Xijing, and someone immediately set up a square chair for her behind her, and then Zhu Zhichun, Li Xiangyang and Liu Xuande also had an embroidery pier to sit down.

Xijing raised her hand again, and several maids walked in from outside the palace, each of them holding a bowl of longan soup in their hands, which was served to the princesses and ministers in the palace in turn.

"There is Lao Jing Palace." Xu Zhongqing said modestly, and the three female ministers also followed.

Xijing bowed and saluted a few people, "The third princess and a few adults don't want to bother the officials, the little ones are just ordered to come and serve." ”

Li Xiangyang scooped a spoonful of longan soup, took two bites, and asked with a smile: "Lao Bojing Palace helped me go in to investigate, how long will it take for the empress to come out?" ”

Liu Xuande drank the entire bowl of longan soup in one go, and took the opportunity to say: "Prime Minister Li Cheng, don't worry, Your Majesty has also been boiling for a long time, so what's the harm if we wait a little longer as courtiers?" ”

"Lord Liu, this is misinterpreting my original intention, the third princess has to leave before dark today, and there are only a few hours left, I am just anxious for the third princess." Li Xiangyang smiled at Liu Xuande, but it seemed that there was a knife hidden in that smile.

Several ministers were talking to each other, and before Xijing had moved out of the hall, the empress had returned to the Ruixiang Palace. She sat down on the golden phoenix chair and said majestically: "No need to be formal, sit down." ”

The four of them sat down again in accordance with the order, and the empress twisted the string of white jade Buddha beads in her hand, and sighed deeply, "Zhong Qing, you need to bring something with you when you set off at night, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xu Zhongqing was just about to get up to reply, and the empress immediately motioned for her to sit down and speak.

"Mother Emperor, I have just discussed with Captain Zhu about military salaries, grain and grass, and baggage, and according to the estimate of the battle situation reported by General Zhu, we can hurry up and equip the transportation. The retainers could not travel with supplies, and had to rush to the northwest frontier as soon as possible. ”

The empress nodded and ordered, "Then let Tang Yiai be in charge of escorting supplies." Li Xiangyang, how long will the supplies be ready? ”

"If you go back to the Empress, it will be five days later at the earliest." Li Xiangyang sat on the embroidery pier uneasily, leaned over and said.

"Five days? Can't it be faster? Xizhou children are rampant on the border, and the soldiers are still desperate on the front line! Can't even do this in the rear? Procrastinating, do you want to make the ugly thing of deducting military salaries like last time? The Empress was furious.

"Your Majesty......"

Li Xiangyang was just about to pour out a stomach of bitter water, but the empress interrupted: "If you have difficulties to discuss with Lord Liu and Taiwei Zhu, don't talk to me!" ”

Fine sweat oozed from Li Xiangyang's forehead, she gritted her teeth, and said, "The minister will urge the following to strive to prepare it within three days." ”

"If you want Tang Yiai's little girl to do it with you, if this matter is done in a confused way and delays the war in the northwest, I will ask for the two of you!"

"No." Li Xiangyang had no choice but to bear it.

"What else does Zhong Qing have to say?" The Empress continued.

"Mother Emperor, my sons want a few people to come with me."

"Whoever you want, say it."

"Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Shen of the Tai Hospital, as well as the imperial guards Li Yunhe and Yan are returning late."

The white jade Buddha bead in the empress's hand suddenly stopped twisting, "What does Zhong Qing mean?" ”

"Emperor Mother, Imperial Physician Hu and Imperial Physician Shen are all the most skilled healers in my Eastern Liang, and I want them to go with me because I want them to heal General Xianran's injuries, General Xianran is a 'Dinghai Divine Needle' in my northwest border, Taiwei Zhu can't lose her, and we in Dongliang can't lose her!"

Zhu Zhichun endured the tears for a long time and finally flowed, she staggered to her knees and fell to the ground, "Third Princess Xie, as a soldier of Dongliang, my son will not hesitate to die on the battlefield with broken bones!" ”

The third princess picked up Zhu Zhichun, helped her to sit down again, and continued: "Li Yunhe is the sister of my concubine Li, and Yan Guiwan is the nine horses of the mother emperor, they are all tomorrow's talents of my Dongliang, and I intend to lead the two of them to the northwest border to experience it." I implore the mother emperor to accede to the request of the son. ”

The Empress had no words, but a long silence. Xu Zhongqing's breathing became short, didn't the empress want to let those two little ladies go to the front line?

The empress was waiting for Li Xiangyang to make a statement, so Li Yunhe was the daughter of her Li Mansion, but she kept silent. Just when the empress was waiting for Li Xiangyang to express her position, Zhu Zhichun suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what the third princess said is very true! Yan Guiwan is the daughter of Lao Yan Jiang, four years ago Lao Yan Jiang died at the hands of Xizhou Xiaoer, and now Yan Guiwan wants to follow, which is an excellent opportunity. Besides, the little girl has a good hand, and she can also protect the third princess. ”

Seeing this, Li Xiangyang could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with what the third princess said. Li Yunhe, as a royal guard, should let her go with him if he has such an opportunity to serve Dongliang. Both public and private ministers should thank the three princesses for their support. ”

"Quasi-play." The empress finally spat out, she slowly stood up and walked up to Xu Zhongqing, patting her on the shoulder, "Zhongqing, return safely." ”

The empress said that Bi had left the front hall, and the three female princesses and Xu Zhongqing withdrew from the palace in turn. Li Xiangyang and Liu Xuande left separately, and Xu Zhongqing helped Zhu Zhichun to hand over related matters in the province, and did not repeat it.

Speaking of going back to the Yan Mansion, Yan Guiwan learned from Jiuying that Yan Oxam had a new love, and ran straight into the Muli Building to find out. But Qiaoyan Oxfam and Du Yi were talking and laughing in the bright room. Yan Guiwan didn't wait for Shuyu to come in to report, and he broke in.

But seeing that Du Yi is not as beautiful as Mu Chen and Qi Yan before, he really doesn't look like a merry kid.

"You kid is getting more and more unruly, and you are so reckless as to break into my house?" Although Yan Leshi was blaming her in his mouth, he did not feel the slightest displeasure in his heart.

"Mistress." Yan Guiwan bowed and crossed.

That Du Yi hurriedly got up and said Wanfu to Yan Guiwan, "Xiaosheng Du Yi, the late young master Nafu." ”

Yan Guiwan looked at him again, and saw that he also had a special charm, thinking that the housewife was tired of the feeling before, so she changed Du Yi's appearance.

Yan Guiwan bent down and sang, which also gave him enough face. Yan Leshi glanced at Du Yi, and the little student retreated to the inner room with interest. Yan Guiwan sat next to the housemother, first apologized to Yan Lesam for his disrespectful remarks some time ago, and then told the housemother about the war in the northwest border.

"Don't think about it at night, the court won't send you on the expedition right now. You still give me back your vision, the changes in the house, don't tell me that you don't know. ”

Yan Guiwan nodded lonely, "My nephew knows." ”

"It doesn't matter if you contradict me, you can't hurt His Highness Nine's heart. Why did he compete with you? Auntie's heart is like a mirror, you can't fool anyone you can fool me! Today, my aunt will give you the words to stack this, and if you want to attack the lord, you will go back to give birth to a child for me! If you don't want your mother's title, don't blame your aunt for recommending your little aunt to the throne! ”

"What?" Yan Guiwan jumped up, and the square chair behind him also fell to the ground.

"Auntie, don't you hurt late? You have told me since I was a child that the position of grandfather belongs to me? You're going to give up on me just because I won't conceive? ”

Yan Leshi pressed his temples and frowned: "The glory of the Yan family is on you, but you don't even want to keep your heirs later, how can your aunt support you?" Even if there is His Royal Highness Nine behind you, but he has a few catties and taels, we have all looked carefully after such a long time. ”

"Does my aunt think that the empress will not be a backer for His Royal Highness the Nine? The little aunt is pregnant, and there is the Liu family to protect the association, can the glory of Yanmen be transferred to the little aunt in the future? Yan Guiwan said aggrievedly.

"Come and see your little aunt today, guess what she said?"

"How?"

"She said that your little aunt is so young, but her belly is so big, it is very likely that she is a twin."

Yan Guiwan's tears fell, "I know." ”

She ran out of Muli Building as she spoke, Yan Leshi smiled bitterly behind her, and Shuyu sighed on the side: "Why bother, mastermother? Where did Lang Zhong say such a thing? Look at Liu Fulang's bullying of calligraphy and painting, this family will become his! ”

Yan Leshi said softly: "I have too little experience in my evening, how can it be a good thing to follow everything?" Our family spent a lot of money this year to marry Liu Lian, and others don't know that you should know that we are almost going to sell our land to make a living. Take a look at this year's Kyoto, whose crops are as good as our Yan family? It's not that Liu Xuande has found a suitable buyer. I didn't wait for anything to book next year's. Shuyu, you say, then Liu Lian can I not give some sweetness? ”

Yan Leshi looked at the inner room, "Marrying Liu Lian is to improve the family." Now that the door is there, the money is tight. Let the outside feel that I care about my face, and let them mess around. This housekeeper is not an easy task, so it is good to let the leaders of Zhumei Yuan lead the way. It's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around, it's really talented, and I'm relieved that I really hand over the stewardship in the future. ”

"We are here, don't worry, the master."

"There are some words that you pass on to calligraphy and painting, and you will be wronged by her during this time."

"No."

"Is there any movement between His Royal Highness the Ninth and Brother Erliu?"

"I don't know about the little tricks of the Liu family, but His Royal Highness the Ninth has been a little abnormal recently, and I don't know if there is an estrangement with the late master."

The porter's maid suddenly hurried in and reported: "Mistress! Mother of the House! Someone from the province is coming! Someone from the province is coming! ”

"What are you panicking about? Say it carefully! Shuyu scolded.

"Someone from the province wants to see the young master."

"Go and ask for a late arrival!"

Yan Oxfam suddenly realized the importance of this matter, and ran to the door of the street to greet the visitor. I saw a few female soldiers in armor standing outside the door.

"A few female monarchs, there is a long way to go." Yan Lesam said with a big blow.

"You are the mother of the Yan family, right? We came to the ward by the order of the province, and the three princesses went to the northwest border to bring Yan to return to the evening together, and we sent someone to answer at the end of the Shen period! ”
