Chapter 1 Chance Encounter on the Moon and Night Festival

There was silence in the hall.

Most of the courtiers are watching jokes, and there are a few people who are worried about her because of Jiuhuang's achievements on the border, such as Taifu Yuan Quan, who is a veteran of the Three Dynasties and takes care of the emperor.

He was shocked that a woman with nine phoenixes can have the ambition of a man, and he is drunk on the battlefield with a golden gun in his hand, and in the face of such a nine phoenix, it is not difficult for Yuan Quan to like it.

There is also a person who is as worried about Jiuhuang as Xu Yang is the relative of the concubine Mu Guifei of the dynasty, Dingyuan Hou Muyu.

Mrs. Mu Chen often said in his ear that Xu Yang intended to marry Mu Fu, and even said that his only son Mu Kun was interested in Jiuhuang, and Mu Yu also mentioned this matter in his letters, and Mu Yu could not guess that his son was indeed interested in the lord of Jiuhuang. Therefore, Mu Yu, who has always respected his son's intentions, is also very optimistic about this family affair, and now that he sees that Jiuhuang may be punished, Mu Yu's heart is also very worried about this Jiuhuang who will become his daughter-in-law in the future.

Just when the courtiers in the main hall were speculating about the emperor's thoughts, Zhao Yun, who was sitting on the dragon throne, finally spoke after the nine phoenixes were brightened.

"Jiuhuang, are you guilty?"

Zhao Yun's majestic voice came from the front of Jiuhuang.

Feeling that the strong gaze of Weiya staring at him softened a little, Jiuhuang said unhurriedly: "The emperor forgives the sin, I don't know what is wrong with Jiuhuang?"

Without Zhao Yun's consent, Jiuhuang raised his head and looked at Zhao Yun who was sitting on the dragon throne on the high steps.

If it happened again, Jiuhuang believed that even if she knew that her actions would be punished lightly, she would still choose to break into the barracks as she did at the beginning.

When the courtiers in the hall heard Jiuhuang's words, they all showed disdain in their hearts, in their eyes, women should stay in the boudoir and go into battle to kill the enemy.

When Xu Yang heard Jiuhuang's words, his body staggered, and he almost fainted directly to the ground, but fortunately, Mu Yu, who was standing beside him, gave him a signal.

Jiuhuang thought that her words would definitely cause Zhao Yun to be angry, but she had been living on Yunmeng Mountain with Yunmeng Zhenren since she was nine years old, and she had always been used to being outspoken, so she would not think of a snake at all, but she didn't expect Zhao Yun to fall into silence for a while after hearing Jiuhuang's words.

Then he laughed out loud and said: "Haha, Jiuhuang is indeed worthy of being Jing Yu, with this courage, even Jing Yu back then didn't dare to look at me and speak, it seems that it is still better than blue!"

Zhao Yun's deprecating and praising words made Jiuhuang guess what Zhao Yun thought and what his treatment was for her.

Not to mention that Jiuhuang couldn't guess Zhao Yun's thoughts, even the courtiers who had been accompanying Long Yan couldn't figure out Zhao Yun's thoughts.

Subsequently, when everyone was speculating about how Zhao Yun would punish the Jiuhuang woman for trespassing into the barracks without permission, Zhao Yun finally spoke slowly.

I saw that he restrained the smile on his face just now, and said to the courtiers standing in the main hall: "Fort Li, the squire of the Criminal Department, what is the crime of the Jiuhuang County Lord ignoring the taboo in the army, and trespassing into the military camp?"

Standing in front of the center on the right side of the main hall, Fort Li heard Zhao Yun ask about himself, and hurriedly walked out of the column to the middle of the main hall and knelt on the ground.

Slightly turned his head to look at the nine phoenixes kneeling next to him, and then raised his head and peeked at Zhao Yun who was on the dragon throne above the high level, but saw Zhao Yun looking directly at him, Fort Li lowered his head in a panic and said: "According to the laws of my Heavenly Empire, all trespassers in the barracks, regardless of the royal family or the common people, should be beheaded equally."

As soon as Li Bao's words fell, Xu Yang, who was standing in the list of ministers, heard Wen Li Bao's words, and he couldn't care about walking out of the column without getting the will of Emperor Zhao Yun.

"Your Majesty, the county lord of Jiuhuang is ignorant because the minister failed to educate her well, and asked the emperor to give her a light punishment, and the minister is willing to be punished for the county lord."

At this time, because Jiuhuang mistakenly robbed the holy decree and sent it to Mu Kun's hands, it would make Batu's army rout three times and twice, and now it was even defeated in the Celestial Empire.

Seeing that there was finally a way to execute Jiuhuang without having to do it himself, Yang Jin was naturally happy in his heart, and he would not let Xu Yang rescue Jiuhuang.

After Xu Yang's words fell, Yang Jin also walked out of the list of ministers, stood in the center of the hall, and said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, the lord of Jiuhuang County, as the royal county lord, ignores the laws of our dynasty, and this behavior should be executed to set an example and give a warning to those who trespass on the barracks."

Xu Yang and Yang Jin each had a few words, and the ministers of the court also began to discuss how to deal with Jiuhuang.

Zhao Yun never spoke, he took in all the performances of the ministers below, and then looked at the nine phoenixes under the ashes.

Seeing that she did not have the slightest hint of panic even after hearing Fort Lee's words, she was calm as if it was not her who the ministers were talking about, and even the person who trespassed on the barracks was not her.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little more admiration in his heart for such a Jiuhuang, and it was reasonable for a woman with such courage to dare to trespass into the barracks.

Seeing that Xu Yang and Yang Jin were still arguing, Zhao Yun rubbed his sore brows that were arguing with them, and said angrily: "Give me peace!"

The so-called power of the emperor cannot be violated, Zhao Yun just said a stern word, and the noisy hall became unusually quiet.

When the silence in the main hall was restored, Zhao Yun continued: "The court hall is a place to discuss state affairs, you look at you one by one, the argument looks like the people in the market, without the image of a minister."

The ministers were embarrassed by Zhao Yun's words, and they all looked down at the tips of their shoes, and cold sweat kept breaking out on their foreheads.

After Zhao Yun finished talking about the minister, he looked at Xu Yang and Yang Jin standing in the center of the hall, and said: "There are also the two of you, one is my Taishi, and the other is my Ministry of Rites.

Xu Yang and Yang Jin suddenly heard Zhao Yun's words, and knelt down in a panic to ask for guilt, and said, "The minister doesn't dare, please ask the emperor to forgive him!"

After hearing the words of Xu Yang and Yang Jin, Zhao Yun snorted angrily, and then looked at Yuan Quan, the Taifu in front of the first line of Wenchen, and said, "What does Taifu think about the matter of Jiuhuang?"

Yuan Quan, who had been ignoring the affairs of the court, heard Zhao Yun's question, and then walked out of the front and said to Zhao Yun: "Back to the emperor, according to the minister, the county lord's behavior can be punished or rewarded."

"The county lord trespassing on the barracks is indeed to be punished, and he must be severely punished. But if there is no county lord's barracks, perhaps our Yuzhou city will also be lost to Batu, and it is impossible to recover the lost land in Jingzhou, which is to be rewarded. The minister thought that these two things could offset the merits. ”

As soon as Yuan Quan's words fell, he was refuted by Taishi Yang Jin, saying, "Yuan Lao's words are okay..."

It's just that before Yang Jin's words were finished, he was stuck in his throat by a cold glance from Zhao Yun.

"Then Taifu means that you don't have to punish Jiuhuang?"

Yuan Quan heard Zhao Yun's words, nodded, and said, "The county lord not only can't be punished, but also should be rewarded and rewarded." For being able to surrender Batu this time, the Lord of Jiuhuang County is really indispensable! ”

Zhao Yun listened to Yuan Quan's proposal, and while thinking about the description of Jiuhuang's deeds in the battle report that Zhao Xuan had given him.

In the end, the nine phoenixes were rewarded, and under the guidance of Yuan Quan and several ministers, Zhao Yun and Jingzhou were rewarded in the nine phoenixes, and the nine phoenixes were given the throne, and the co-order was ordered to manage Batu.

Although it was still meaningful for the ministers of the court to be crowned the king of the Nine Phoenixes, it was also stopped under Zhao Yun's imperial authority.

It has been a few days since he returned to Beijing, and with the favor of Emperor Zhao Yun, Jiuhuang can go to the Jingzhou fiefdom in the early spring of the next year, so that Jiuhuang can also accompany Xu Yang and his wife in Beijing.

In the Nine Phoenix Courtyard of the Xu Mansion, the Nine Phoenix sighed for the thirty-fifth time.

"Alas~"

The little maid who was standing and waiting for her saw Jiuhuang like this, and couldn't help but say: "Miss, tomorrow is the Moon Festival, and Mrs. let Miss go out, she must want Miss to find a successful person tomorrow."

The Moon Festival is also known as the Beggar's Festival. In the Celestial Empire, the day of the Moon Festival in Beijing is very lively.

The women of all the families in Beijing who have not left the cabinet can beg on the emperor street at night.

When you meet a man or woman who is in your heart, you can give each other things as a love object.

Hearing the little girl's words, Jiuhuang said, "What do you know for the little girl."

In Jiuhuang's heart, in fact, there is nothing about the Yuexi Festival, because the Yuexi Festival in her heart has passed.

It's just that in the face of Mrs. Xu's repeated requests, Jiuhuang, who couldn't bear to worry about Mrs. Xu, had no choice but to agree to Mrs. Xu's request.

If the ten years of waiting could be exchanged for their encounter again, Jiuhuang thought that she would be grateful to the heavens.

Looking at the lively men and women in front of him, Jiuhuang kept excluding himself.

The noisy atmosphere around made Jiuhuang touch his eyebrows lightly, and said to the maid beside him: "You are playing here by yourself now, I will go for a walk elsewhere, remember not to follow."

The maid looked at Jiuhuang's face without any joy, and said worriedly: "But Miss, Madame asked me to accompany you, what if you go alone, what if something happens?"

Seeing the worry in the little girl's eyes, Jiuhuang couldn't help but laugh, "Are you still afraid that your young lady's kung fu will not be able to meet a few bad people?" ”

Indeed, Jiuhuang's martial arts little maid knows, and it is estimated that there are only a handful of people in the capital who can beat her own young lady, so thinking about it, the little maid nodded at Jiuhuang with confidence.

After separating from the little maid, Jiuhuang walked alone to the course of the moat.

Smelling the wisps of fragrance coming from the summer breeze on the moat, Jiuhuang's thoughts couldn't help but resurface ten years ago.

The encounter in the Temple of the City God that day.

If one day, if I become an emperor, you will be the queen, if I am the king, you will be the concubine, in this life and the next, I will be your guardian.

The slightly immature words brought a glimmer of light to her at that time.
