Originally, the queen wanted Jian Jieyu to sleep tomorrow night, but who knew that there was a war in the northwest, and His Majesty had not recruited a concubine for several days, and the queen also sent someone to ask a few times, only saying that the war was tight, and His Majesty had no time to separate.

The northwest of the Great Qianguo is a vast grassland, there are barbarians who live on the grasslands who live on nomadism, and every winter when the grass and trees are not abundant, the barbarians will go to the border of the Daqianguo to plunder, and the soldiers at the border pass will beat them back, and they will come again in the next year, and so on and so on for three or four dynasties.

It's not that a military general Wenchen hasn't thought about it once and for all, but the situation in the grassland is complicated, and it is common for unfamiliar people to get lost after entering, and they are often surrounded by barbarians to send reinforcements, so that they lose a lot of troops in vain.

However, this is already the early spring season, the barbarian invasion is extremely unusual, after many times of news corroboration, it turned out that it was the beginning of the year to encounter a rare cold spring, the grassland in mid-March, is still covered with thick snow, can not see a little green, cattle and sheep have no food, the barbarians have no way to live, so they have to repeat the old tricks, raid and loot at the border of the Great Qianguo.

It took two months for the barbarians to gradually retract back to the grassland and stretch out, and four of the ten cities in the border pass were sacked by the barbarians, with countless losses, and nearly 10,000 civilian casualties in the four cities. The call in the court for the complete extermination of the barbarians rose again.

————————————————

On the surface, the affairs in the court have nothing to do with Lingxi, but it does affect Lingxi.

In the first month, the saint did not recruit anyone, so the new concubines were quite stable, and there was no verbal run or suppression. However, this situation was broken after Jian Jieyu, Qin Meiren, and Jiang Baolin went to bed.

……

Fengzao Palace.

"Qin Meiren, you only went to bed yesterday, so you don't have to come early in the morning to ask for peace in the palace today."

"Thank you for the empathy, it is the duty of the concubine to ask the queen for peace, how can the concubine not come because she is sleeping." Qin Sisi was generous and polite, hoping to hug the queen's thigh.

"Sister Qin's little mouth can speak." Xuan Jieyu looked down on Qin Sisi's style a little.

Qin Sisi bowed his head towards Xuan Jieyu and said, "I don't dare to praise Xuan Jieyu, the concubine just said what was in her heart." ”

The queen was impatient to listen to their quarrel, so she said: "This palace knows that you are all lovely people, so let's disperse today." ”

Out of Fengzao Palace, Lingxi wanted to go back to Yutang Palace sooner, because she got up late in the morning, and she didn't eat a few bites of morning food at all, and she was still hungry now. As a result, he didn't take two steps before he was stopped.

"Ye Cairen is walking so fast, what are you doing?" It was none other than Qin Sisi Qin Meiren who stopped Lingxi.

"I've seen Qin Meiren, the concubine is hungry and wants to go back to eat some snacks." Lingxi was actually very impatient to salute Qin Sisi, but she was one level higher than Lingxi, and now she had slept several times, and now she was the hottest concubine in the palace.

"My sister is still so greedy, there is a second-class palace maid in my palace who has a good skill in making dim sum, I will ask her to make some and send it to my sister's palace, and also give my sister a taste."

"Xie Qin's beauty's kindness, how can you bother the palace maids in the beauty palace." It's not that Lingxi doesn't want to eat it, but if Qin Sisi puts something in it again, Nanxing will definitely not let her eat it at that time, and she can only see that the taste of not being able to eat it is uncomfortable.

"My sister doesn't have to be like this, we lived in a small courtyard in Danruoyuan at the beginning, so we should be more close. Okay, don't delay my sister to go back with snacks, Your Majesty gave me a soup bath in Qingtan Pool, I heard that the spring water in Qingtan Pool is the most nourishing for the skin, and I should go back to prepare. ”

Looking at Qin Sisi's distant back, Lingxi snorted slightly, "Qingtan Pond is not uncommon yet, and the jade liquid pool dedicated to the top three grades is about the same." ”

returned to Lingxi of Yutang Palace, and asked Nanxing angrily: "Sister, am I not good-looking?" Why didn't Your Majesty come to sleep with me? ”

Nanxing: "......"

"It's been more than two months since I entered the palace, and I haven't seen Your Majesty's face, how can I still be a favorite concubine."

Although Lingxi was complaining, Nanxing didn't stop her, and let her lose her temper before she said her opinion.

"Among the newcomers, only Jian Jieyu, Qin Meiren and Jiang Baolin have slept now, and they are all from official eunuchs regardless of their family background." Nanxing waved his hand, asked Lingxi not to interject and continued: "The queen has no children so far, she must need a prince, and the identity of the prince's biological mother cannot be too low, so it is normal for her to raise the daughters of those official eunuchs." ”

……

"After this while, it should be better, so you can bear with it a little longer." Nanxing could only comfort Lingxi like this, and did not say the queen attribute she saw, because she still had some things that she couldn't get right, and saying it would add to her troubles.

……

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed, and a major event happened in this half month.

Ninh Kham two years, early July.

The eldest princess who practiced in the Royal Dojo Lianzhen Palace, this eldest princess was the sister of Emperor Wenxuan's mother. She has had a lot of experience and feelings about Taoism since she was a child.

The eldest princess of the third year of Yuande recruited the eldest son of the Zhongyong Uncle's mansion, and the son of the Zhongyong Uncle was the concubine, and the uncle was supposed to be unable to be the princess, so the princess was worthy of the name to marry, all because the eldest princess and the Zhongyong Uncle were in love, and Emperor Wenxuan also gave the marriage.

In the fifth year of Yuande, a fierce war broke out between Daqian and the barbarians. At that time, the father and son of Zhongyong Bo went to the border pass to kill the enemy, the old Zhongyong Uncle and the son were all killed in the battle, it was the second son of Zhongyong Bo who endured grief and anger, inherited the will of his father and eldest brother, and repelled the large-scale invasion of the barbarians.

After the triumph of the army, Emperor Wenxuan named the second son of Zhongyongbo as Zhongyongbo, and promoted Zhongyongbo as Zhongyongbo.

In Daqian, the eldest son inherits the title by one rank, but if the second son inherits the title, it will be reduced by two ranks, and if the son inherits the title, it will be reduced by three ranks. In this way, the difference between the eldest and the youngest is clarified.

Because both Uncle Zhongyong and his son died in the fight against the enemy, Emperor Wenxuan not only did not demote the second son of Uncle Zhongyong who inherited the title, but also promoted him to the Marquis of Zhongyong, just to praise them for being loyal and good generals.

The eldest princess became his surviving person, but the eldest princess did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and according to the law of Daqian, she can return to her mother's house, that is, she can return to the palace.

But the eldest princess politely refused Emperor Wenxuan's kindness to take her back to the palace, and instead invited herself to practice in the Royal Dojo Lianzhen Palace, praying for the dead Zhongyong Uncle and her husband, and praying for the blessing of Daqian.

The eldest princess has a special identity, so the saint specially took the queen to the Lianzhen Palace to worship the eldest princess. Soon after the eldest princess's memorial ceremony, the Zizhen Palace Master of Lianzhen Palace hurriedly entered the palace and met the queen mother.

The incense burner in the front hall of Fengzao Palace burns the quiet incense of agarwood, and the wisps of sweet fragrance slowly emanate from the incense burner, and the entire front hall is filled with a refreshing smell.

At this time, in the front hall of Fengzao Palace, only the Zizhen Palace Master of Lianzhen Palace sat upright, facing the queen mother on the phoenix chair, with a straight back and looked neither humble nor arrogant, but it is not difficult to see that this palace master only has half of his ass sitting on the chair.

The Zizhen Palace Lord bowed slightly, "I don't know what the queen mother, Xuan Poor Dao has to say?" ”

"The sacrifice of the eldest princess of Shunde is due to your careful care, and the saint and the palace are very satisfied."

"Your Majesty and the Empress are ashamed of their praise. The eldest princess of Shunde has been cultivating in the Lianzhen Palace for many years, and now that she has left, the poor Dao sisters and the disciples are also quite emotional. And Lianzhen Palace is also because of the eldest princess to stand out from many dojos, and the poor Daoists should do their best to the sacrifice of the eldest princess. ”
