Chapter 117: There is a lover in the cold courtyard of the deep palace
Chang'an Fu calendar, Chinese New Year's Eve.
Luoyang.
The gongs and drums are noisy, the excitement is extraordinary, and there are jugglers, singers, storytellers, and crowds of people on the streets.
Without exception, Luofu is also festive, the lady in the back kitchen is very busy, and the people are also dressed in new clothes.
On the Chuyun Pavilion, a red lantern was also hung.
Roy sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, in a daze.
Yan Beifeng has been gone for some days, and he doesn't know if he is okay, he can't do anything in this deep boudoir, so he can only pray for him silently, and the new year will be safe. At this moment, she finally realized her mother's feelings.
She gently picked up the mahogany comb, thought about it, and put it down again.
"Yiyi, we have to go to the ancestral hall today." Liu Shiyue's voice sounded outside the door.
"Got it, Mother, I'll go down now." Roy agreed, sighed softly, and got up.
……
Imperial.
The Qianqiu Hall was deserted as usual, and several palace people were sweeping the snow on the long steps.
In the hall, Li Wen leaned on the dragon couch and looked at something.
"Your Majesty, the coalition forces of the two governments have arrived at Yique Pass and are repairing. Suzhou was lost, Menghu had arrived in Xiping, Ganzhou, and the reinforcements from Chang'an Mansion arrived in Jincheng, and Chang Dan, the young lord of Chang'an Mansion, presided over the front-line military affairs. The mysterious woman walked up and placed a letter on top of the dragon case.
"Xiping...... It turned out to be so fast. Li Wen frowned, he couldn't imagine that the Menghu people were so fast.
"However, stationed in Jincheng is General Li Yaoshi of the former dynasty, and he has already led his army to meet the enemy in the Xiping area." The woman continued.
"Oh? Pharmacist Lee...... I saw this name in the military newspaper of the former dynasty, and it is the general of Bai Feiyu's general management. How many people did he bring? Li Wen remembered the name.
"Eight thousand." The woman replied calmly, but Li Wen was a little surprised when she heard it, 8,000 people, 50,000?
"What about the reinforcements from Chang'an Mansion? Aren't there reinforcements? Li Wen asked excitedly.
"Two thousand men and horses from the Alien Dragon Battalion."
"Two thousand?! Is he Changlong so unbearable now? Li Wen was angry and laughed, and he didn't know what to say for a while, the dignified general of the auxiliary country, send two thousand reinforcements, this is not to let Pharmacist Li send him to death...... Is it?
Li Wen was stunned and looked up at the woman suddenly.
The woman looked at Li Wen and said nothing.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Li Wen sat down slowly.
"How many soldiers and horses are there in Chang'an Mansion?" Li Wen asked.
"The Tingzhou Army, the Suzhou Battalion, the Ganzhou Battalion, these three generals are all veterans of the former dynasty, speaking of which, Changlong can't be mobilized, only the Yilong Battalion and the Chang'an Army can be mobilized by Changlong, about 50,000." The woman thought for a moment and replied.
"The Tingzhou army has been destroyed, the Suzhou battalion has also been defeated, and now there is only the Ganzhou battalion......" Li Wen said more and more worried, even a pity.
"I heard that Chang Dan led his army north to Jincheng without Chang Long's permission......"
"Oh?" Li Wen's eyes lit up, there was such a thing......
"That's about it." After the woman finished reporting, she stood quietly aside.
"How's it going over there?" Li Wen remembered and asked casually.
"It's still lively, and since the end of the competition, it has become a treasure place for people from the rivers and lakes."
Li Wen nodded.
"How's Qingzhou?"
"It's business as usual."
"What about the Nine Swords?" Li Wen thought of Liu Chengfeng, the man who should have been killed in battle as recorded in the military newspaper.
"I am in Lancang County, and I heard that I am going to go with the army with Luo Feng. accompanied by the governor of Chang'an Mansion chasing the moon. ”
"Is it the moon chasing who was beaten by Chang Long's stick?" Li Wen said with interest.
"Exactly."
"Hahaha, this Changlong ......" Li Wen shook his head.
……
"I'm going to see Lao Shangshu today, does his son Yuan Dao have any letters recently?" Li Wen suddenly asked coldly.
"Back to Your Majesty, no." The woman replied.
"Really?" Li Wen smirked.
"The concubines don't dare to deceive Your Majesty." The woman panicked and quickly knelt down.
"I hope you can be like your brother and live up to the emperor and me." Li Wen said in a serious voice.
Bai Yanran did not speak.
Li Wen didn't speak, glanced at her, and turned to leave.
"Brother......" Bai Yanran had tears in her eyes.
After a while, Gao Xian came in.
"Is it the White Maiden?" Gao Xian cautiously walked behind Bai Yanran and asked softly.
Bai Yanran heard the sound, wiped away her tears, and got up.
"I've seen General Gao." Bai Yanran curtsied.
Gao Xian's old face flushed.
"Ah...... It doesn't have to be. Gao Xian scratched his head and smiled.
"What's the matter with General Gao? Your Majesty has just gone out. Bai Yanran thought he was looking for Li Wen.
"Oh, Your Majesty asked me to send you a new set of clothes, which are specially bought from Jiangnan. There is also this, which is the delicacy of Shudi, and this is the jewelry that was brought back from the Six Edicts. Gao Xian put down the wooden box in his hand, opened it layer by layer, and introduced it to Bai Yanran.
Bai Yanran was very surprised, a warm current surged into her heart, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Then I won't bother the girl, and I'll retire." After Gao Xian finished speaking, he got up and retired.
"There's General Law." Bai Yanran was as tender as water, as if it was Li Wen standing in front of her.
Gao Xian was embarrassed by this numb tone.
"If you don't get in the way, if you don't get in the way, you will retire." After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.
Bai Yanran looked at the same thing in front of her, and remembered Li Wen's smile that was both righteous and evil...... Heart...... Mixed tastes.
