The next day, Li Chunfeng Xue Qixi, the deputy governor of the Inner Service Province, was appointed as Lieutenant Zuo Shence, and led the capital supervisor to recruit the consolation envoy. In addition, two generals with actual combat experience were selected in the Shence Army to serve as deputy envoys, and Guo Yan, the commander of the horses, was appointed as the special envoy.

After the matter of the expedition was basically decided, the concubine began to be "sick", first fainted in front of everyone when greeting her, and then said that the illness was temporarily exempted from the greeting ceremony, and everything in her hands was handed over to the green pothos and Yuzhu to take care of, leaving fennel and Chonglou to serve her.

There were a few who wanted to visit, but they were blocked by Luluo and Yuzhu on the grounds that the emperor ordered no one to disturb the concubine. Even the three siblings Ning'er, You'er and Wanwan came to visit, but they couldn't see it.

She was going to order Fennel to accompany her, so she ordered Fennel to pack her luggage for her.

The things that fennel packed are very complete, and several sets of clothes for the four seasons are complete, such as big coats, Zhaojun sets, mink tubes, and felt boots; Niangniang's jewelry box naturally can't be too cold, gold hairpins, hostas, eight treasure hairpins, hairpin earrings, which set of jewelry to match which set of clothes, can not be wrong.

There are also rouge powder and other things, Niangniang's favorite akane nail decoction lipstick, there is no outside, you have to bring more. The agarwood incense that the mother loves to burn, not only the incense crumbs should be brought more, but the special agarwood incense burner must also be carried, and these things must not be found outside.

As soon as everything was cleaned up, Nian Yun saw the many large boxes that filled the hall almost full, and his face was already full of black lines.

"Fennel, we are going out with the army, not returning home, you don't have to pack the entire Penglai Palace for me and take it away......"

Fennel said: "But Niangniang can't really be as disgraced as Qixi......"

Nianyun laughed with a "sneer": "What's wrong with the gray face, it's like this in the army." You don't have to bring clothes for the four seasons, just bring a few sets of riding clothes, plus a winter jacket and a big coat, and a few spring jackets. Prepare a few more sets of men's clothing, simpler, not very thick, Jiangnan is not so cold. ”

The boat is tiring, and you have to ride a horse to show your head, and if you don't get it right, you have to go to the battlefield, so it is naturally more suitable for a woman to dress as a man. As for not looking like a man, it's another matter, the key is ease of movement. Therefore, women's shirts, skirts, high shoes, etc., just bring one or two sets in case of emergency, and you don't need to take more.

As for hairpin ring jewelry and rouge gouache, there are only a few of the simplest things that can be matched with women's clothes. When wearing men's clothes, who is impatient with those!

Fennel came to clean up again under the command of Nianyun, and the master and servant were just two small cages. Fennel looked at the cage and said, "Niangniang, let's just bring such a little thing, isn't it a little too shabby?" ”

Nian Yun laughed: "If you don't want to be too shabby, you can go to Imperial Doctor Liang to ask for some good medicine for bruises, knife wounds and arrow wounds, anti-serum stasis, swelling and detoxification, the more the better, so that people know that our Penglai Hall has good things." As for clothes and jewelry, it's better to keep them and wear them slowly. ”

As he was talking, he heard a crisp voice sound: "Mother is really a liar, is Mother really going to war?" ”

Nianyun was shocked, and saw a little girl come out from behind the screen, and it turned out to be Luoluo. She was dressed in clothes similar to the color of the screen, so it was no wonder that no one had noticed her sneaking in.

Fennel hurriedly came to pull her: "Princess, hurry up and go back with the slave maid, this is ......"

Luoluo broke away from her: "I don't! Mother, you told Luoluo that you weren't sick at all, and that you were going to war, right? ”

This child has been with her for a short time, and she doesn't have a very close feeling, but her stubbornness is very similar to when she was a child. She hid from the other children, but she didn't expect Luoluo to sneak in.

Nianyun had no choice but to pull her to sit beside her: "Luoluo, how did you know that your mother was going to war, who told you?" ”

Luoluo glanced at her slyly, her eyes blinked, and then she said loudly: "No one told Luoluo, Luoluo guessed it himself!" ”

Nian Yun immediately made a straight face and said angrily: "Girls, don't lie!" If you lie to your mother, she won't answer your questions. ”

Luo Luo pursed his mouth, and immediately sold Li Chun completely: "It was Your Majesty who said it, and Your Majesty also said that you won't let me tell Brother You and Wanwan." ”

is a good Li Chun, and he actually said this with a child. However, it was fortunate that he didn't tell the other three, otherwise, those three would be the more difficult little ancestors.

Nianyun gently touched Luoluo's head: "Yes, mother is going to war." But the mother is a concubine in the palace, and the concubine cannot leave the palace, so the mother can't let outsiders know that the mother is not in the palace. ”

Luoluo nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked again: "It turns out that concubines are not allowed to go out of the palace to fight, so can the princess?" ”

Nianyun thought about it for a while, and replied to her very seriously: "If it was in troubled times, the princess would have led the troops to fight. For example, our Princess Pingyang Zhao has created a very powerful women's army, and together with the concubines, she helped Emperor Gaozu fight the world. However, we are now in a peaceful and prosperous era, and of course the princess can live comfortably in the palace without going to war. ”

Luoluo tilted his head to look at her, and suddenly asked again: "Mother is not right!" Since it is a peaceful and prosperous time, how can my mother go to war? Mothers can go to war, why can't princesses? Mother, Luoluo also wants to go to war with her mother! ”

Nian Yun was made by this child who was not easy to fool, so he had to say: "But Luoluo is so small, and his strength is small, if you go to the battlefield, you have to have someone else to protect you, how can you fight?" We have grown up after falling, and we are also female generals who can go to the battlefield! ”

Luoluo shook his head: "Luoluo learned swordsmanship with Brother You, and also learned the art of war, Brother Youyou can't beat Luoluo, Luoluo doesn't need to be protected by others!" ”

Nian Yun's face was full of black lines, so he had to say with a straight face: "Luoluo, fighting is not fun, fighting will kill a lot of people, shed a lot of blood, and it will hurt if you are injured." We are princesses, and it is enough to marry a capable colt in the future, no more nonsense! ”

Luoluo pouted, with a look of grievance: "Mother, King Shu was also a great general who fought in battle!" ”

She mentioned King Shu, and Nianyun's heart trembled fiercely. She is the daughter of King Shu, and she has the blood of King Shu's golden iron horse in her bones.

But because she is the only daughter of King Shu, she has to protect her even more.

Nian Yun was a little annoyed, and said: "King Shu was injured on the battlefield, and he got bad legs and feet at a young age, and he couldn't even marry a good princess, so he wasted his life!" Luoluo, don't mention it again, go back and sleep well, forget about it! One side turned to Chonglou: "Chonglou, send Princess Taihe back to Taiji Palace!" ”

Luoluo turned back frequently, but was still very reluctant to be pulled out by Chonglou.

After sending Luoluo away, the green pothos came in and said, "Father-in-law Liufu is here." ”

Nianyun hurriedly invited him in, gave him a seat, and ordered Fennel to make tea, while asking, "Why didn't Father-in-law Liufu follow His Majesty, but is there something wrong?" ”

Liufu bowed his head and saluted, "Your Majesty ordered the servants to come over, and there is something to give to Niangniang." ”

As he spoke, he took out a long box from his sleeve, held it in both hands and respectfully handed it to Nian Yun. Seeing his solemn attitude, Nian Yun took it with both hands, thanked him, and then frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

Liufu said: "Your Majesty instructed the slave to be sure to hand it over to Niangniang, and Niangniang will know it by herself." ”

Nian Yun saw that the box was still sealed with wax, and looked very solemn. She took the bamboo piece and opened the wax seal, and saw that it was wrapped in bright yellow satin, and it looked like a scroll.

Nian Yun was still puzzled in his heart, picked up the things inside, and opened the cloth bag outside, which turned out to be a familiar roll of five-colored silk.

Divine decree?

He has a decree for her, but why doesn't he let Liufu directly announce the decree, and wrap it up like this and hand it over to her?

Nian Yun was a little surprised, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the scroll of the five-colored silk.

The scroll was not large, but two feet long, and it was covered with a large jade seal of cinnabar.

But there wasn't a word!

He gave her a wordless decree stamped with a jade seal!

A wordless decree meant that she could write anything on it. In other words, no matter what kind of will she conveys with this holy will, it represents his unconditional support!

"This ......" Nianyun was a little confused for a while, "Your Majesty, this is ......"

Liufu got up and saluted: "Niangniang, Your Majesty said that Niangniang's journey is far away, and Your Majesty can't accompany Niangniang to go together, so give Niangniang this thing in case of emergency." The master of the harem can always only be Niangniang, irreplaceable, His Majesty is waiting for Niangniang to return victoriously. ”

It turned out to give her the power to cut first and then play.

When the words of the Six Beatitudes had been brought, he stood up and took his leave. Nian Yun was "sick", and it was not easy to send him out, so he only stood up and bowed his head slightly.

Nian Yun stroked the blank holy decree in his hand and was a little distracted.

Once upon a time, she pretended to be angry and said that she would drive all the women around him away, so that he could only talk to her alone, only see her alone, and only have her as a confidante.

At that time, this man's eyes were full of doting and said to her, "A jealous woman is jealous of a woman, as long as it is for him."

Today, what he said has become, no matter how many women there are in this Daming Palace, you will always be the master of the harem.

He is still him, and she is still her, but there are always many things that have passed imperceptibly with time and can never be recovered.

She misses her Jiangnan so much.

As soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and in this life, even her only close aunt went, she no longer had a hometown, but she still wanted to go back and see the place where they once lived, she had lived in Yangzhou for more than ten years.

She actually didn't know if she would really go back forever, after all, she had a chance to leave him with Li Yi and leave the East Palace, but she still didn't leave in the end.

This time, too, she didn't have full confidence in herself.
