After the Chinese New Year's Eve passed, the days passed quickly, and Wei Rui didn't feel much about it, so he came to the fifteenth day of the first month.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a big festival for the palace, so on this day, the palace will be very lively, many children carry all kinds of lanterns, running around in the palace, for the children in the palace, this is the most free day.

Although Sun Ziyan and the second prince are also fourteen years old, they have each received lantern gifts, and on this day, the princes do not need to study, they just need to enjoy the joy of the festival quietly.

Wei Rui was approached by two people at dinner time, and the two of them thought it was too boring to play with other children, so they wanted to come and talk to her.

Wei Rui was bored alone, and the arrival of the two made Wei Rui very happy. After thinking about it, there was nothing to do, so the second prince proposed to go to the highest attic in the palace to watch the night view.

The winter wind is a little chilly, standing in a high place, it is even more cold in a high place, Wei Rui originally wanted to complain about the second prince's suggestion, but seeing that Ziyan seemed to be a little eager to try, she couldn't bear to disturb the only time between the two of them.

So she excused herself for the cold, so she wanted to stay at home and let the two of them go by themselves.

The two of them naturally cherished this time of solitude, and they understood Wei Rui's intentions, so they also accepted her kindness.

Wei Rui didn't know if Ziyan had confessed to the second prince in the end, and he didn't know if the two of them had made this matter clear, but now looking at the way the two of them got along, it must have been opened between the two of them.

That's enough.

Thinking of this, Wei Rui breathed a sigh of relief, she was about to light the lamp to rest, but the courtyard door was knocked again.

Guan Qing and Jing Xing both came today, but because the emperor had something to do with the two of them, they left together again, leaving Wei Rui alone.

Originally, Wei Rui wanted to spend this unforgettable Lantern Festival with her two children, but for various reasons, she was now the only one left. However, she never expected that someone would come to the door when she was alone.

The person standing at the gate of the courtyard was Jiang Yuyang, who carried a lantern in the shape of a jade rabbit in his hand, and handed it to Wei Rui when he walked into the courtyard, and said gently: "A gift for your Lantern Festival." ”

Wei Rui was stunned for a while, and couldn't react, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "Why do you still send me lanterns, I'm already this age, and it's no longer time to play with lanterns." ”

Jiang Yuyang smiled and said: "In my eyes, you will always be a child." Besides, there is no rule that older people can't play with lanterns, so why be so formal? I don't think you're a polite, conformist person. ”

Wei Rui pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to find out, it seems that you still know me quite well." ”

The two of them are chatting aimlessly, as if they have known each other for many years, not at all, knowing everything, and talking endlessly.

Because he felt that the atmosphere between the two people was very good, he asked tentatively: "What do you think of Kang Shangshu?" Is it a good person or a bad person on weekdays? ”

Wei Rui's question caused Jiang Yuyang to be silent for a long time.

Seeing Jiang Yuyang bowing his head and being silent, Wei Rui thought about it and felt that something seemed wrong. Then he made up and said: "I don't mean anything else, it's just because I'm worried that Ziyan will not be taken seriously if she marries into the Kang family, so I want to ask her about the Kang family." Because I feel that you and Kang Shangshu are close on weekdays, I thought about asking you, how does Kang Shangshu treat people on weekdays? Will it make Ziyan suffer? ”

After hearing her words, Jiang Yuyang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, the expression on his face returned to the calm he had just now, and even had some gentle smiles in his eyes.

"It seems that you have a good relationship with Miss Purple Smoke, and if you are willing to worry about her, her father is afraid that he doesn't want to think much about her." Jiang Yuyang replied.

This was the first time Wei Rui had heard someone mention Ziyan's father, and she was naturally very curious, so she continued to ask: "I don't seem to have heard anyone mention Ziyan's father, who is her father?" Why is it that people are silent when it comes to her father, do you know? ”

Yu Yang hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Do you have extra ears here?" ”

Wei Rui hurriedly looked left and right, and said after a while: "It shouldn't be, there is no on weekdays, and today is another day like this, I must be busy." ”

Jiang Yuyang said: "I want to come too, besides, you have no secrets here, and you are not afraid of many things that no one will know." ”

Wei Rui smiled slightly, and asked again, "So what's going on with Ziyan's father?" Is there any conflict between Purple Smoke and her father? "Love the Book House

Jiang Yuyang took a sip of tea, made a look of unfinished business, didn't speak for a long time, and forced Wei Rui to urge again in a hurry, he said proudly: "Do you know how her mother's wife title came about?" ”

This really touched the blind spot of Wei Rui's life, she really didn't know how Mrs. Minhui's title came about, but most women get the title because of their husbands, for example, if the husband has done great things and made great contributions, the whole family will be rewarded.

Since a woman can't go to the court to be an official, then she has a position, it sounds good, and she has no real power, and she can be regarded as a reward, isn't it more than one stone?

"Presumably Mrs. Minhui's title is related to her husband? That is, Ziyan's father? Although Wei Rui felt that since Jiang Yuyang asked so, it was definitely not this reason, but she still deliberately said what she thought was wrong.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuyang opened his mouth and said, "Isn't that true of Mrs. Minhui? The lady next to her did get the title because of her husband, but Mrs. Minhui really didn't, her title was her own. ”

Although Wei Rui had also thought about this possibility, in the end this matter was still a little unbelievable, so she said with a surprised look: "You earned it?" Can you earn this thing yourself? ”

Jiang Yuyang smiled: "You don't know this, right?" Mrs. Minhui's name is Zhou Qiongshan, and her father is Zhou Zheng, a famous general in the previous dynasty. At that time, Zhou Zheng was fighting the world, and there was no battle that he couldn't win, but it was a pity that there were too many battles, and people became cold-blooded and ruthless, and even his own daughter was brought to the battlefield, so that she could experience the cruelty of war. ”

Wei Rui: "????? That's weird, isn't it? Isn't it true that women can't go to war? Why could he take his daughter there? ”

"The prerogatives of the Great General."

Jiang Yuyang replied quickly, with an imperceptible trace of contempt in his tone, but he quickly concealed the past, and continued: "But who would have thought that the so-called tiger father without dog girl, this woman who looks weak and unruly in this girl's family, can support the entire army alone after General Zhou was injured, and fight several big victories in succession?" ”

Obviously, Jiang Yuyang has some admiration for Mrs. Minhui, and in the process of narration, he seems to be obviously more inclined to Mrs. Minhui.

"Is it so powerful?" As an audience, Wei Rui naturally wanted to give some reaction to the person who spoke, so she immediately responded, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Minhui could be so powerful!" ”

Jiang Yuyang was silent for a moment and said, "This is amazing?" If you knew what she was doing later, you would be dumbfounded. ”

Wei Rui felt that Mrs. Minhui's story was too magical and unfinished, so she cheered up to listen to Jiang Yuyang's narration of the story.

Jiang Yuyang said that after Mrs. Minhui won the battle, her reputation quickly spread to the capital, and for a while, the voice of "there are no men in Beijing, and there are female generals in the army" almost drowned out the entire capital, and the men sitting in the palace and the court naturally would not like such a thing to happen, otherwise, their existence would not be meaningless.

Therefore, the old ministers took out the tradition that there were no women in the army and asked the emperor to recall them and punish them for their crimes, so as to set an example.

At that time, the old general was seriously injured and dying, and his life was on the line. If Wei Rui is recalled and punished, it will inevitably involve the old general, and then the old general will only have one way to die.

The old general has made countless military exploits in his life, serving the country and the people, and the emperor naturally knows that if he is punished for this, he is afraid that he will only complete the minds of some people, and it will also chill the minds of some people.

And the cold-hearted part of the people is often the part of the people who know how to do things the most, so after careful consideration, the emperor did not adopt the advice of the old minister. However, he still summoned Mrs. Minhui back, using the reason that the hard work is high, and it must be rewarded.

Rewarding men, the emperor is familiar with the road, adding officials to knighthoods, and giving silver fiefs, but rewarding women, the young emperor is the first time, he never knows how to reward a woman.

And in order to cut off Mrs. Minhui's thoughts of going to the battlefield again, those men suggested to the emperor that the emperor should include Mrs. Minhui in the harem, which was both a reward and a confinement.

At the beginning, Guan Qing had stopped the emperor, and he felt that Mrs. Minhui would not agree, and since the old general brought his child to the battlefield, he definitely didn't want her to be trapped in the palace.

But for the emperor, both sides are people to be appeased, and he can't help but take care of both sides, so only this time, he didn't listen to Guan Qing's words. However, as Guan Qing expected, Mrs. Minhui really rejected the emperor in the main hall of the reward, which was almost the first time before.

Everyone was dumbfounded, but at that time, Mrs. Minhui still thought that she could return to the battlefield, and she didn't want to stay here at all. When she refused, her words were particularly resolute: "My task is to protect the family and defend the country, it is the life and death of the frontier, not to enter the palace without incident, let alone the female red poetry book, I will not enter the palace, including my daughter, my daughter's daughter, and I will never enter the palace." ”

These words almost unsurprisingly angered the emperor, who was fooled into letting people lock her up in the palace.

And then ......

Jiang Yuyang was about to continue, but Yun Gong knocked on the door and said, "Miss Wei, the second prince is back with Ziyan Girl." ”
