Since taking the name "Chao Whale", the loach feels that he has grown up a lot and should do something grown-up.

The tent on the side of the road had been set up, and the whale stepped into the meadow and raised her hand to wave to the dragonfly in the distance.

The dragonfly is not an insect, but a golden ring, which is strolling by the stream, and when it sees the whale coming, it also smiles and waves its hand.

"Look, there's fish in the creek." Dragonfly said excitedly.

Chao Whale glanced at it, shook his head and said, "It's too small, in Kidnapping Lake, no one wants such fish, only children catch and play." ”

"Aren't you just a child?"

Chao Whale's face was slightly red, and he defended: "I'm sixteen years old! Seeing that the dragonfly didn't believe it, he added: "Imaginary age, that's also sixteen, in our place, we all say imaginary age." ”

"Sixteen then." The dragonfly covered her eyes with her hands and looked into the distance, "The two of them ran too far to see the human figure." ”

"Don't worry, there are so many soldiers around, it's fine, unless it's ......"

"Unless what?" Dragonfly asked very seriously.

"Unless you Huns come back." Chao Whale laughed.

"I'm not a Hunn."

"Then why do you want to wear the clothes of the Huns and go back to the steppe?"

Dragonfly scratched her head, "It's too troublesome to wear Hun clothes, as for going back to the grassland, I'll go wherever Miss goes." ”

"Hehe, that's not 'Miss', it's 'Jin Guifei'."

Dragonfly thought for a while, "The concubine is temporary, and the young lady is eternal, just like if you change your name to Chao Whale, you won't be a loach?" I changed my name to Butterfly, and I won't answer when people call me Dragonfly? ”

"Huh?" Chao Whale was speechless, and when it came to catching fish, he could jump into the stream and touch a few of them now, but when it came to verbal debate, he couldn't even understand what the other party meant, "Anyway...... In a word...... Do you have to go back to the grasslands? ”

"The Emperor asked you to ask?" Dragonfly laughed.

Chao Whale shook his head, "To be honest, we are all wondering why Your Majesty didn't keep Concubine Jin, but instead took her all the way to hunt, getting closer and closer to Biansai, it seems to be seeing you off, you don't know how nervous everyone is." ”

"Nervous about what? I think the emperor and the young lady are very good, they stick together every day, I have never seen the young lady's temper so good. ”

"The Huns have just come out of the customs, and they are too close."

"In the past, it was closer, and the emperor was not afraid, but now what are you afraid of? Don't worry, there is a young lady, and the Huns don't dare to call. ”

Dragonfly said easily, Chao Whale, like most people, didn't believe that Jin Guifei had such a great ability, and asked, "Do you have to go?" ”

"What else? Are you going back to the capital? Miss said, since she is gone, she will never go back, and there is a queen in the emperor's palace, and she will marry more concubines in the future, after the young lady enters the palace, she is just a member of the three palaces and six courts, and there are many rules, and she is not comfortable in the Guiyi Marquis's mansion, and the young lady will not return to Beijing if she dies, and the emperor probably understands what the young lady means, so he did not persuade him. ”

Chao Whale couldn't help nodding his head, keeping all these in mind.

Dragonfly looked at him and said with a smile: "You are a person in the palace, you will not understand this kind of thing." ”

Chao Whale immediately shook his head and denied, "I'm not from the palace, I should be an entourage when the emperor leaves the palace, and when the emperor returns to the palace, I won't follow in, I'm a normal person...... I am not a eunuch. Chao Whale solemnly said, "I have also saved a lot of money, more than the whole village combined." ”

Speaking of the whole village, Chao Whale sighed, in the battle of Jincheng, a lot of people in the village died, but after all, he was young, and his mood adjusted quickly, and he immediately said happily: "This money was given to me by others, Your Majesty said, I have to hand it over, but I can leave a little, not a lot at all, enough to buy a lot of fertile land and build a big house." ”

Dragonfly smiled: "Do you want to marry a very beautiful daughter-in-law?" ”

The whale's face turned redder, and her mouth snorted, not knowing what to say.

"There are a lot of beauties in the capital, you can look for it slowly when you go back, someone is looking for you over there now." The dragonfly pointed to the tent on the side of the road.

Chao Whale was pondering the meaning of the dragonfly's words, turned his head to look, and saw someone in front of the tent on the side of the road waving to him, "Zhang Youcai, he is coming back from the capital, it's really fast." ”

Zhang Youcai returned to Beijing to report his safety to Wang Meiren, and was immediately sent back, non-stop, just catching up with the emperor, dusty, and tanned a lot.

"Heh, Zhang Youcai, did you fall into the charcoal pile?" Chao Whale laughed.

"Less nonsense." Zhang Youcai was two or three years older, pretending to be mature, coughed twice, and looked at the dragonfly in the distance, "That's Jin Guifei's maid, right?" ”

"yes, you've seen it."

Zhang Youcai pursed his lips and expressed his dissatisfaction with the Hun dress, "What about Your Majesty and the concubine?" ”

"If you go on horseback and don't let anyone else follow, don't you wait on the side of the road."

"Concubine...... Wear this too? Zhang Youcai pointed to the dragonfly in the distance.

Chao Whale nodded.

Zhang Youcai shook his head, "Come with me, I have something to ask you." ”

There were other people in the tent, the King of the East China Sea, Cui Teng and Liu Jie had been waiting here for a long time, and Zhang Youcai had just caught up.

Chao Whale roughly repeated the dragonfly's words.

"Uncomfortable in the palace? W-What is this called? Liu Jie was deeply shocked, "The Jin family has been Shun Dachu for decades, and her daughter was born and raised in the capital, how can she ......?"

After all, it was a concubine who had been canonized, Liu Jie didn't dare to say it too obviously, so he could only shake his head.

"That's good, send her back to the Huns, and all the problems will be solved." Cui Teng finally figured out the possible impact of Jin Guifei on his family, and was glad to hear that she was really leaving, and then glared at Liu Jie angrily, "It's good for you, you have to say goodbye to the Deng family, Your Majesty won't bring back a concubine, aren't you happy?" ”

Liu Jie snorted, unwilling to argue with Cui Teng, and threw his sleeves out of the tent.

"Eunuchs are born traitors." Cui Teng's anger did not subside, and then he turned to Zhang Youcai, forgetting what he had just said, and said with a smile: "What is the news in the capital?" ”

Zhang Youcai understood Cui Teng's character, didn't care too much, and said in surprise: "Say goodbye to the Deng family?" The Che Cavalry General Deng Family? ”

"But it's not, isn't this nonsense, the siege of the Huns has just been lifted, and the people who said they are close to have come up again, so I really don't let Your Majesty be idle for a few days." Cui Teng was indignant.

The King of the East China Sea said lazily on the side, "Cui Er, where are your ears?" Liu Gong just spoke for Deng Cui, he didn't say anything supportive, and even suggested that His Majesty strictly control Deng Cui. ”

"If he is a loyal minister, he should not mention this matter, although His Majesty did not agree immediately, but I can see that some of the ministers accompanying him agree." When it comes to his own interests, Cui Teng has higher requirements for others.

The King of the East China Sea just smiled and asked Zhang Youcai, "The palace is very much looking forward to Your Majesty bringing back a few more concubines, right?" ”

Zhang Youcai hummed strangely.

Cui Teng exploded, and jumped in front of Zhang Youcai in one step, "What? Isn't one golden concubine enough? ”

Zhang Youcai said sneeringly: "Your Majesty...... is not young, even if the palace does not urge, the court has to arrange, and even the queen supports it. ”

"Have you seen my sister?"

"Hmm."

She ...... How is she? Cui Teng has always valued this sister, and he is even more distressed at this time.

"Very good, the queen asked me to tell Your Majesty that everything is fine in the palace, please don't worry about Your Majesty."

Cui Teng felt even more sorry for his sister, and exhaled heavily, unable to find a target to be angry at for a while.

The King of the East China Sea asked with a smile: "No matter how hard Your Majesty tries, at most bring a few concubines back from outside, the capital is the big one, and the draft has begun, right?" ”

"It's started, and it's going to be presided over by the palace and the queen herself." Zhang Youcai said.

"What?" Cui Teng jumped up.

The king of the East China Sea walked over and patted Cui Teng twice on the shoulder, "It's useless for you to jump into the sky, Your Majesty should also enrich the harem, this is a serious matter, instead of worrying here, it is better to choose more chaste and graceful women for Your Majesty." ”

"I still have to help?" Cui Teng clenched his fists.

The king of the East China Sea didn't care, and said flatly: "The draft is imperative, whoever chooses will naturally be closer to whom, and the queen is much smarter than you." ”

The king of the East China Sea also walked out of the tent, he was trying to create the image of the foreign minister, and he did not want to compete with Cui Teng for favor anymore.

Cui Teng was still pondering the words of the King of the East China Sea, and Chao Whale asked blankly: "What's the situation, do you want to take Jin Guifei back to Beijing?" ”

"No." Cui Teng said categorically.

"It's better to take it back." Zhang Youcai said something else, explaining to Cui Teng, whose anger was becoming more and more obvious: "After all, it is the concubine of Da Chu, what is the matter with staying in the Huns?" ”

Cui Teng was about to speak, but Liu Jie broke in from outside and said solemnly: "Chao Whale, go to Your Majesty immediately." ”

"What's the matter? Your Majesty said it, unless it is the Huns......"

"It's the Huns, sent from outside the city...... Sending good news, Deng Cui led the army to ambush the Huns, killing more than 30,000 people, countless cattle and sheep. ”

"Haha." The whale laughed and ran out.

After waiting for a while, Cui Teng also laughed a few times, "Your Majesty can't take Hu You back to Beijing now!" "Say goodbye and leave.

Zhang Youcai asked in surprise: "This general of the chariot cavalry...... Did His Majesty make him do this? ”

"Of course not, Deng Cui...... It's a madman. Liu Jie muttered, thinking back to the Deng Cui he had seen, and becoming more and more sure of this judgment.

"Then the daughter of the Deng family can't have it."

"But that is a clever and bold madman, and Your Majesty is afraid that this kind of general is needed." Liu Jie sighed, a little regretful that he told His Majesty the story of Emperor Wu's selection of Deng Liao, Deng Cui has a bit of the Deng family's legacy, but it is more unpredictable.

"Which is this concubine? His Majesty is clearly taking himself as a reward, and the palace ...... will use more concubines to deal with the Cui family, which is ...... This...... Gong Liu, you have a lot of experience, you have to give your majesty an idea. ”

"Phew, where did I get my experience? This kind of thing...... It can only be solved by His Majesty himself, and I have only one experience: the harem is like a battlefield, and Your Majesty must find one or two capable 'generals' in order to manage the harem well. ”

"Queen's ......" In all fairness, Zhang Youcai stood on the queen's side, but felt that the queen could hardly be called a "general".

Liu Jie shook his head and walked out of the tent.

The whale rode wildly, ran over three gentle slopes, and finally saw the emperor and the concubine in the distance, and the two were riding the same horse, wandering around the meadow.

Chao Whale was relatively innocent, and he didn't care about the presence of Jin Guifei, and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Huns have been defeated! (To be continued.) )
