Ningwang's Mansion, back garden.

Green and red, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. Although it is in the north, it presents the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

The small pavilion in the middle of the lake, surrounded by clear water, and delicate lotus flowers bloom in the bright sunshine. Occasionally, bee butterflies flutter among the stamens of the flowers, and they are colorful. The spring breeze blows, and the clear water in the lake ripples. The delicate words moved with the wind, and the disturbed bees and butterflies fluttered.

In the pavilion, laughter sounded, and in the curtains dancing in the wind, two women sat on both sides of the stone table, talking and laughing, and playing chess.

It's just that this chess seems to be very different from the Go that the literati of the Great Zhou Dynasty were keen on. The rules are different, and the number of roads is also different.

Although it is black and white, and it is a square chessboard, the style is very different. And the chess method is simple and easy to understand.

Liu Qingqing, who was in a long grass-blue dress, had beautiful eyes like water, pinching a white child, and quietly staring at the dense chessboard. He hesitated for a moment and put it down gently.

"Oh, Sister Qingqing, you're wrong again!" On the other side, Princess Ankang looked at the wrong chess piece, raised her head, looked at Liu Qingqing, who was a little distraught, and sighed softly.

Originally, this backgammon was given to her by Liu Qingqing. In terms of chess strength and techniques, Liu Qingqing is much more proficient than himself. But in the past two days, Liu Qingqing has always lost, and he has lost very strangely.

Princess Ankang raised her head, looked at the other side, and looked at Liu Qingqing in the garden full of spring, and smiled lightly. After putting down the chess pieces, he walked over and quipped: "My sister misses Lu Heng again!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing's face was flushed, and he smiled shyly, but he didn't deny it.

"It's been almost a month, and I don't know what happened to my uncle?" Liu Qingqing retracted his gaze, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and sighed in a low voice.

"Hee-hee!" Hearing this, Princess Ankang covered her mouth and snickered, and after thinking about it, she stepped forward and quipped: "Sure enough!" ”

"Husband and wife are of the same heart, and it is also appropriate to worry about one or two!" Being teased by Princess Ankang, Liu Qingqing just smiled lightly, and said softly with a happy smile on her pretty face.

Seeing the happy smile on Liu Qingqing's face, Princess Ankang with a smile on her face, but her heart was a little sour.

With a soft sigh in his heart, he turned his head and looked at the rippling blue water, his eyes were gloomy.

The spring breeze bypassed, and around the pavilion, in the rippling lake water, lotus leaves rattled. The wind chimes hanging at the four corners of the pavilion made a pleasant jingling sound.

"What is Her Royal Highness thinking?" Liu Qingqing's mysterious inquiry came from her ears, and Princess Ankang, whose thoughts were flying, was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"No, it's nothing!" Princess Ankang's eyes dodged, and she replied in a panic.

Seeing this, how could Liu Qingqing not know her intentions. He hesitated, but he didn't know how to speak.

At this moment, suddenly, a maid ran in in a panic. Panting, he almost fell to the ground.

"What's the matter, please, panic!" Princess Ankang turned her head, looked at the maid with a flushed face, and frowned and asked.

The maid calmed her breath, looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, and said eagerly: "Your Highness, the Holy Decree has arrived!" ”

"Divine decree?" Princess Ankang frowned when she heard this, and whispered to herself: "Father knows that I am here, what kind of holy decree has I made!" ”

"No, it's not!" The maid hurriedly waved her hand and said eagerly: "The holy decree is for Mrs. Lu!" ”

"Huh?" When Liu Qingqing heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Puzzled, he pointed to himself and asked the maid, "For me?" ”

"Yes, yes!" The maid nodded hurriedly, and then pointed to the outside and said, "The father-in-law who delivered the decree has arrived outside the door, and the slave and maid saw it, so they hurried in and told the lady!" ”

After all, this ...... was the first time he had seen the Divine Decree, and it was given to himself. When Liu Qingqing heard this, she couldn't help but be a little flustered and at a loss.

"Let's go, sister will accompany you!" On the side, Princess Ankang smiled, stretched out her hand to take Liu Qingqing's arm, and walked towards the door of the back garden.

"I, shouldn't I dress up!" Along the way, Liu Qingqing asked some questions like a frightened rabbit. Under the uneasy look, it is very cute.

"What are you dressing up, do you still need to dress up for someone as wonderful as your sister?" When Princess Ankang heard this, she covered her mouth and snickered, and pulled Liu Qingqing very arrogantly and unreasonably, and walked towards the door in front of her.

As soon as he went out, he met the father-in-law who was walking towards him, and beside him, there were two thousand cow guards, holding a wooden plate covered with bright gold brocade.

The trio was in a hurry, sweating profusely in a hurry. After seeing Liu Qingqing and Her Royal Highness the princess who came out of the arch on the opposite side, the father-in-law's eyes lit up and he hurriedly went up to salute.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is well!"

"Excuse me!" Princess Ankang waved her hand with a big grin, and then saw that Liu Qingqing beside her was still nervous, and nodded to her with a smile. Turning his head, he looked at Gonggong Li, the chief manager of Ouchi, and asked with a smile, "Gonggong Li is here to deliver the decree?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Gonggong Li smiled and nodded in agreement. Turning his head, he looked at the woman in front of him in a long grass green dress with a fairy temperament. He bowed respectfully and said, "You are Mrs. Lu!" ”

On the side, Princess Ankang was quite surprised to see that this father-in-law Li, who was usually above the top, actually made such a big gift to Liu Qingqing. Looking at the thing in the hand of the Qianniu guard, although she couldn't see what it was, Princess Ankang still relied on her intuition and knew that this seemed to be a great thing.

"Yes!" After the initial nervousness, Liu Qingqing finally calmed down and saw that this father-in-law actually saluted him. She hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "The little girl is a people's girl, she doesn't deserve such a big gift from her father-in-law!" ”。

"Dang, dang!" Gonggong Li replied respectfully, and insisted on finishing this etiquette. Only then did he straighten up and look at the woman in front of him.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Mrs. Lu, you should accept it!" After Gonggong Li received the holy decree from the wooden plate of Qianniuwei behind him, he said to Liu Qingqing with a smile.

"The people's girl takes the order!" Liu Qingqing bit her lip, pulled up the hem of her skirt, and was about to kneel.

Gonggong Li was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, looking at the incomprehension in Mrs. Lu's eyes, Gonggong Li explained with a smile: "Your Majesty said, Mrs. Lu doesn't have to kneel!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Qingqing listened, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise, and she looked back at Princess Ankang, as if she was even more surprised than herself.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The wife of the Lu family, Liu's Qingqing, has both ability and political integrity, and is a virtuous lady, and she is given the title of Mrs. Yipin, and she is like her husband! ”

It's short, but it's heavy.

Mrs. Yipin, on the side, Princess Ankang was shocked when she heard the content of the holy decree.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has been founded for hundreds of years, and there are only a handful of titles for Mrs. Yipin. Only the families of those who have contributed to the country can have this honor. Count it down, no more than five. Now, Liu Qingqing was actually given a decree by his father. This, this...... What does this mean?

It shows that the damn scholar seems to be already thriving in Goryeo, and once the class teacher returns to the court, he will become a powerful minister above 10,000 people under one person.

It's really hateful, such a big thing, I didn't even say a word, and even more so I didn't even write a letter to my family!

Princess Ankang muttered in her heart, and the look in her eyes was both surprise and resentment.

After Gonggong Li finished reading it word by word, he closed the holy decree and held his hands in front of his chest. said to Liu Qingqing: "Madam, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are no more than five people who can be gifted with the title of Mrs. Decree by Your Majesty. Congratulations, slave! ”

Gonggong Li smiled, waved his hand to Qianniuwei behind him, and then personally reached out to untie the golden brocade covered on the wooden plate, pointed to the jade seal ribbon and Xia crown on it and said: "This is your seal ribbon and Xia crown!" ”

Princess Ankang also walked over at this time, stretched out her hand to hold Liu Qingqing's hand, looked at Liu Qingqing who was bowing her head in front of her, and said with a smile: "Sister, congratulations!" ”

Looking at the golden holy decree, Liu Qingqing bit her lip lightly and raised her head, her eyes were already misty.

Ice and snow are smart, when listening to the father-in-law who passed the decree and read the content of the holy decree. I knew that all this must have something to do with my uncle.

When I heard the father-in-law say that there were no more than five people in the Great Zhou Dynasty who were gifted as the wives of the Decree. Liu Qingqing understood at that time that this must be his uncle's immortal exploits for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In order to commend his uncle's merits, the emperor decreed that he should be given the title of Lady of the Decree.

Looking at the holy decree in his hand, Liu Qingqing sobbed softly, looked at the distant east, and whispered: "Xianggong!" ”

…… Goryeo East Sea.

The vast sea, the blue waves. The sea breeze was bitter, the sea was undulating, and a huge fleet was cruising silently on the sea.

"Ten days ago, the army of the Liaodong defense line had already begun a counteroffensive. Yesterday, I received a military report from General Duan, saying that they had successfully joined forces with the Liaodong army in the east. The two armies combined forces have suppressed the Goryeo Dongying coalition army to several hills on the east coast. On the deck, Wu Zheng squatted on the ground, pointing to the marching map, reporting the battle situation in the past few days.

After pointing his finger hard at the place where the Goryeo coalition army was besieged, Wu Zheng said in a deep voice: "However, most of the remnants of this part of the army are the elite troops of Goryeo and Dongying, and now they are relying on the terrain and resisting stubbornly. General Zhan organized several attacks, but still did not take it! Originally, General Duan wanted to use artillery, but there was a lot of ammunition loss along the way, and now I'm afraid there is no more! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng had a hint of smugness on his face.

It seems, that the ammunition on the fleet is very abundant. Some time ago, after knocking out a few Dongying troop carriers at sea, there was no more to fight. The soldiers are idle and the eggs hurt!

Lu Heng, who was squatting opposite, nodded slightly after hearing this, glanced at the map, and said with a slight smile: "In this case, then we will help them!" ”

"Strategist, are you trying to attack the enemy with naval guns?" Wu Zheng asked in surprise.

"Why not?" Lu Heng stood up, clapped his hands, and looked at Wu Zheng and asked.

"Yes!" After Wu Zheng thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he hugged his fists and said, "The humble general understands!" ”
