"The queen mother, the concubine is fine." Xia Li smiled, turned her head to look at Feng Moyu's palace, and asked, "The concubine heard that the border pass is in an emergency, but is it true?" ”

The queen also looked anxious, her face was full of sadness, and she nodded, "It is true, and now three cities have been lost." ”

"Three cities?" Concubine Wan was startled, and her heart had already begun to panic, according to the order of the city, I am afraid that after two more, she will arrive at the city where her father and brother are stationed, how can this be good? Thinking about it, his face turned pale for a while.

"Don't panic, concubine, the emperor is discussing countermeasures with the ministers." The queen patted Wan Concubine's hand and comforted.

Concubine Mei and Liang Guiren stood on the other side, Yunxia, who had recently been favored by the emperor, was excited and proud at this time, because her father and brother were the heroes of the first victory in the border pass.

"Sister Wan doesn't need to worry, the concubine's father and brother are brave generals given by the emperor himself, and this time the neighboring countries are attacking, they will definitely be able to wipe them out." Yun Zhaoyi seemed to be showing off and looking at Wan Concubine as if she was comforting, but she actually wanted to satirize Wan Concubine's father and brother for their incompetence.

"Yun Zhaoyi doesn't want to talk nonsense, this political affairs of the former dynasty are not something that our harem concubines can participate in." The queen scolded coldly, she also knew that Yun Zhaoyi had been favored recently, and she was a little pampered and arrogant, and then looking at Xia Li's favor at the beginning, the attitudes of the two could be described as worlds apart, and now looking at Yun Zhaoyi, she was disgusted.

Yunxia was unwilling, but she couldn't say anything, so she quickly admitted her mistake and said, "The concubine is also bent on sharing the emperor's worries, and when she sees that the concubine is anxious, she will be reckless, and the queen is not strange." ”

"Just remember your duty." The queen didn't say more, at this time, Feng Moyu summoned all the concubines, and everyone entered the palace one after another according to their positions, only to see Feng Moyu's face was tired, and he didn't sleep all night when he thought about it.

"The concubines ask the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed." The concubines were led by the queen and knelt on the ground, and Xia Li was no exception.

"Rise up, concubines." Feng Moyu rubbed his sore temples and commanded, "Why are you here today?" ”

"Your Majesty." The queen was the first to stand up, and at this time, when the head of her harem spoke, she said softly, "The concubines and others heard something in the palace, and they came to visit the emperor, hoping that the emperor can keep the dragon body." ”

"I'm fine, don't listen to those rumors and take them seriously, now that the border war is urgent, there are some untrue rumors in the harem, if I hear it, I will not be spared." Feng Moyu scolded sternly.

The concubines below hurriedly sat upright, not daring to mention a word, only to hear Feng Moyu speak again, "I have decided to go back to the palace, but there are many inconveniences in this palace, so the concubines should go back and prepare for themselves." ”

"The concubine obeys." The queen withdrew from the Frost Hall with all the concubines.

In the imperial garden outside the palace, the queen looked at the concubines and said coldly, "Do you remember what the emperor said just now?" ”

"The concubine remembered."

"Take care of your own minions, don't talk nonsense, after returning to the palace this time, each of them will keep their own duties, if any of the masters and slaves in the palace dare to spread nonsense, the palace will be the first to spare him!" The queen's words were majestic and her face was solemn.

"The concubine obeys the queen's decree."

Among the concubines, the most lost is Xia Li, who finally got to this day, and can get closer and closer to the truth, but there is a war here, so she can only put this matter aside, if she chases tightly, she is afraid of falling into the mouth, and then she will be treated for the crime of disturbing the harem, but the gains outweigh the losses.

After returning to the dormitory, Xia Li instructed the subordinates to pack up their things and set off two days later, and the subordinates had already heard the news that the emperor and the queen were angry today, so they didn't ask more or say more, quietly packed up their things, and prepared to return to the capital.

At night, Feng Moyu came to Xia Li's bedroom tiredly, and saw her leaning against the window contemplating, feeling a little distressed, so she waived her courtesy, pulled her to sit on the soft couch on the side, and said in a low voice, "Li'er is weird?" ”

"The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor means." Xia Li was stunned, not knowing why Feng Moyu said such a thing for no reason.

Feng Moyu hugged Xia Li's shoulder and said, "I've been busy with political affairs lately, and I've snubbed Li'er, but I feel wronged?" ”

Xia Li hurriedly shook her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't have that kind of thought, the emperor cares about the previous dynasty, the people are the people, and he is a person who does great things, how can the concubine have this idea because of her own selfish desires, the concubine never has such an idea." ”

"My Li'er is the most heartfelt." Feng Moyu kissed Xia Li's forehead lightly, and her tone was gentle.

Feng Moyu hugged Xia Li and rested on the soft couch for a while, and then heard the voice of Xiao Fanzi outside.

"Your Majesty, the border pass is urgent."

Xia Li was not asleep, and when she heard Xiao Fanzi shouting Feng Moyu, she also woke up, looking at Feng Moyu's tired face, Xia Li said softly, "Your Majesty, you can review it anywhere, why don't you review it in the palace of the concubine, the concubine will cook a bowl of white fungus soup for the emperor with her own hands, refresh your mind, okay?" ”

Feng Moyu nodded with a smile and said, "Li'er still knows to care about me, Xiao Fanzi, and let them send all the folds here." ”

"The minions obey." Xiao Fanzi hurriedly retired.

After a while, a stack of folds was sent to Xia Li's palace, Feng Moyu sat on Xia Li's favorite soft couch on weekdays and read the folds, watching Xia Li shuttle back and forth in the hall, with a smile in his eyes.

After a while, Xia Li walked in with a bowl of white fungus soup, put it in the big porcelain bowl on the side, and said, "The concubines have been drinking iced white fungus soup these days, and some lotus seeds can be used to get rid of the heat, and the emperor and others will also taste the craftsmanship of the concubines." ”

Xia Li said, and sat not far away with a gentle face, not close to the song, and strictly obeyed the ancestral precept that the harem must not interfere in politics, and looked at Feng Moyu with a smile, with a gentle face.

After Feng Moyu put down a notebook, he said with a smile, "I must taste Li'er's craftsmanship, if Li'er is tired, go to the inner hall to rest first, I'm afraid I won't be able to close my eyes this night." ”

Xia Li shook her head lightly and said, "The concubine is not tired, if she is tired, the concubine will go to the apse, and the emperor should not delay the time to approve the recital." ”

"Okay." Feng Moyu didn't say much more, lowered his head and began to flip through the urgent recital.

Xia Li watched from the side, only to see him frowning sometimes and sometimes staring, it seems that the matter of the border pass is indeed tricky, she deliberately left Feng Moyu today, for her own selfishness, in this harem, she must occupy her own place, in order to use her all kinds of means, if she falls out of favor, her life is worried, and she will not have the opportunity to avenge her sister at all.

Counting the time of the white fungus soup on the side, Xia Li tested the temperature and felt that it was cool, so he gently put the porcelain bowl on Feng Moyu's table and whispered, "Your Majesty, drink a bowl of white fungus soup and rest." ”

Feng Moyu raised his head, rubbed his neck, picked up the porcelain bowl with one hand, pulled Xia Li with the other, and said softly, "Li'er has worked hard." ”
