Fourteen years after its establishment, on the twenty-ninth day of the twilight of the lunar month, Qi Yang, the commander of the northwest of Da Li, led 30,000 soldiers to raid Yanmen, the northwest border city of Dayan.

Counting up, Meng Jiao has also lived in Ruizhangtai for a month.

"Little lady, the noble concubine Niangniang sent someone to send a message from the imperial garden, saying that there are a few red plum trees blooming just right, please ask the little lady to come over and take a look."

At that time, Meng Jiao was holding the letter sent back by Shen Yunxiao from Yanmen to study it carefully, and the little maid hurriedly ran in, which startled Meng Jiao.

hurriedly put away the letter, and Mrs. Meng's steps out of Ruizhangtai were much brisker.

According to the letter, the situation in Yanmen is stable and that he will be able to return to Beijing in a few days.

In the cold winter of the first month, in addition to the plum blossoms in the imperial garden, the flowers are also withering, but, I don't know if the mood is suddenly brighter, Meng Jiao can see the signs of prosperity from the depression.

"The concubine is inside, today is the day of blessing at the end of the first month, and the mothers in the palace have been invited to come over to enjoy the plum blossoms."

"That's really hilarious."

The lady in the palace, in the past month or so, Meng Jiao has seen them all over.

Meng Jiao has seen it if she is good with Concubine An Guifei, if she is not good with her, or if she is on the wall, wherever the wind blows, Meng Jiao has seen it.

The little maid helped Meng Jiao into the depths of the plum forest, and sure enough, Yingying Yanyan was so lively.

An Guifei saw Meng Jiao at a glance, and hurriedly waved her hand, the little maid would see things, and hurriedly sent Meng Jiao to An Guifei in a few steps.

"I got up early this morning, and remembered that today is the day to send blessings, so I sent a post to the palaces, I thought that I would bring you over, who would have thought that you slept extra sweetly this morning, and this palace was not willing to wake you up."

Concubine An smiled gently, but the tips of Meng Jiao's ears unconsciously flew red.

Why did you sleep so well, because I received Shen Yunxiao's letter last night, and I read it over and over again for a long time, and I was still reluctant to let go when I got up today.

Concubine An didn't know about this stubble, but Meng Jiao still felt a little embarrassed.

"I think it's because the public life is nourishing, and the little lady has also learned to be lazy, oh, in the end, the concubine is spoiled, if the girl in the concubine's family is so lazy, the concubine will definitely be strictly disciplined."

The one who spoke was another favorite concubine in the palace, Concubine Li, who was also the cousin of the Queen Mother, the girl selected by the Yun family.

has been in the palace for ten years, has a son and two daughters, although the status is not as good as that of Concubine An, but it can be regarded as a pampered family.

Therefore, perennial and An Guifei do not deal with each other.

"Oh? What does Concubine Li mean, the girls of the Yun family are all knowledgeable and well-behaved? ”

"That's natural, my Yun family is a big family, and the daughter raised is naturally obedient, Guifei Niangniang, isn't there any prejudice against my Yun family's daughter?"

Concubine Li fiddled with a plum blossom folded off in her hand, and their Yun family daughters were all like red plums in the snow, dazzling!

An Guifei looked at Concubine Li's proud face, and the corners of her lips slowly hooked up a smile.

"How can I see in this palace, that Yun Lian, the delicate and noble young lady of the Yun family, is very different from the girl of the Yun family who obeys the rules and obeys the rules as Concubine Li said?"

Yun Lian's name came out of Concubine An's mouth, and Concubine Li's face changed obviously.

It's just that before she could explain anything, the concubines who were good friends with Concubine An opened their mouths one after another.

"What the concubine said is right, some time ago, didn't I hear that Miss Yun Lianyun went to the concubine's side in person, wanting to move the little lady and be the queen of Na'e with the little lady!"

"Mrs. Yaohua's words are wrong, this palace heard that Miss Yun didn't think about it so much, she just asked for the identity of a maid to stay in the Shen family, which was enough to comfort the lovesickness."

The concubine laughed while talking, and this laughter, listening to Concubine Li's ears, was slapping her ears in front of so many people.

"Huh! You are all palace concubines, don't you know that gossip cannot be taken seriously? After all, no one has seen this with their own eyes, and the rumors are not all from the palace of the concubine? ”

Concubine Li sneered, but the spearhead was aimed at Concubine An again.

"If Concubine Li insists on thinking so, there is no way in this palace, but in this palace, I am afraid that only Concubine Li firmly believes in this matter, and it has nothing to do with Miss Yun."

Concubine An Guifei didn't care about Concubine Li's provocation, the matter that Yun Lian did had already spread in the palace, whether Concubine Li believed it or not, she couldn't change Miss Yun, and even brought the Yun family to the palace to lose her reputation.

Sure enough, Concubine An didn't want to take care of her, and Concubine Li didn't have a chance to choke people again.

I could only sulk alone, and I couldn't sit still after a while, so I got up and said goodbye and left in a hurry.

"She has such a personality, she hasn't changed since she came to the palace for ten years, Gillian, don't care about her words."

"Aunt An has already spoken for me, why should I care about this?"

Concubine Li is just quick to talk for a while, Meng Jiao is unwilling to deal with people on these gossips, so naturally she will not take this matter to heart.

"That's fine... By the way, Gillian, yesterday I heard from Your Majesty that there was good news from Yanmen Pass, and if the battle situation is stable, within three or two months, the boy from the Shen family will be able to return triumphantly. ”

Although she already knew the news, hearing Concubine An say this, Meng Jiao still couldn't suppress the rising corners of her mouth.

Shen Yunxiao's achievements are impressive, and now that Yanmen has passed on the good news, presumably his statement will go to the next level.

"Aunt An... I... I want to send him something, the bitter cold of the northwest, and I don't know what he will lack. ”

Concubine An Guifei looked at Meng Jiao, who was a little embarrassed, and her heart was clear.

Shen Yunxiao is the commander of the first army, where the emperor is far away, so naturally there will be no shortage of food and clothing.

The little girl asked this, in fact, she wanted to tell the boy who was fighting abroad that she was still thinking about him.

"If you say something is missing, this palace doesn't know, Gillian, what you want to give to others, how can you let others make decisions for you?"

Meng Jiao's face turned red when she was ridiculed, but she also listened to this.

So, what exactly should he give him?

This question, Mrs. Meng has been thinking about the night, lying on the couch tossing and turning, and almost falling asleep, suddenly, the tip of her nose smelled a faint fragrance of flowers.

Meng Jiao suddenly sobered up, and she suddenly remembered such a poem - there is nothing in the south of the Yangtze River, talk about giving a spring.

There are nine cold days in the capital, and the flowers are withering, and it is unlikely to send a branch of spring, but it is not that there is no rest of the fragrance to send.

Three or five days later, the fighting outside Yanmen Pass stopped for a while, and a caravan from the capital was ushered in in the city.

"We are ordered by the nobles in Beijing, firstly, to come here to exchange some items from the Northwest to go back, and secondly, to send things to Shen Shuai."

The nobles in Beijing also named Shen Yunxiao to send objects, and General Shen reacted almost immediately, and ran out of the marshal's mansion in a hurry without taking off his battle robe.

"Which family in Beijing?"

"Jingzhong, noble concubine Niangniang."

Sure enough, it was his little girl, General Shen of the Megatron Field, urging someone to open the box.

After unpacking, a budding plum plant appeared.

On the plum tree, there is a letterhead.

"Jiangnan has nothing, let's talk about giving a spring... Luckily, Hongmei has been for a long time, and has not... Lower branches. ”
