"Think about it." Xie Ruyu broke his hand with a thin layer of calluses due to practicing short guns, and said to the two of them, "Now that Mrs. is pregnant, it is inconvenient to move, so you have to be careful everywhere." Although Wen Qing and Shi Rui are calm and sensible, they don't know martial arts, if something happens, let alone protect their wife, they are reluctant to protect themselves. Although Brother Wu's ability is high, he has serious injuries on his body, and it is okay to protect his wife with his own strength, but if he wants to protect Wen Qing and Litmus, he has lost some strength. I, although my skills are not as good as Brother Wu, I can still do it at a critical moment by pulling Wen Qing and Litmus to run......"

Xie Ruyu raised her eyebrows and looked at the expressions of the two, and persuaded with a serious face.

Wu Fengtian smiled, he didn't point out that the little thief whose martial arts were worse than Xie Ruyu couldn't see it in his eyes, and the martial arts let him see the thief in his eyes would only make Xie Ruyu himself a burden.

But after listening to Feng and smiling when he heard Xie Ruyu's words, Wu Fengtian stood up and raised his eyebrows at Xie Ruyu and said, "When you enter Dashun, it is Momei's territory, do you take you with you, you ask her." ”

When Xie Ruyu heard this, he immediately launched an attack on Ye Tingfeng, coquettish, threatening, willful, unreasonable, and exhausted.

Listening to Feng at night, he was amused by Xie Ruyu, who was playing treasure, and he laughed so much that he couldn't even drink the fetal pills in front of him.

With a smile on his face, Wu Fengtian turned around and walked out of the guest room and closed the door.

Because of Wu Fengtian's acquiescence, Xie Ruyu walked with Ye Tingfeng.

On May 16 of the fourth year of Emperor Jianning, a group of people entered the territory of Dashun with the caravan and arrived at Rongcheng.

As soon as his feet fell on the land of Dashun, Ye Tingfeng breathed a sigh of relief from the heart.

When Wu Fengtian went to negotiate with the caravan, he listened to Feng and the others wandering around the most prosperous streets of Rongcheng.

Looking at the people who came and went on the street, or wandered around to watch, or set up stalls to sell, I heard Feng sigh heavily, "Look, how comfortable." But if a war breaks out, they will be displaced and their wives separated. ”

"If you don't go to war, how can you defend your country?" Xie Ruyu turned back to Ye Tingfeng and said, "Soldiers, they all have to fight to protect the country. ”

"Defending a country is not the same as going to the borders of another country." Ye Tingfeng shook his head lightly and said seriously to Xie Ruyu, "The former is fighting for a counterattack. The latter, fighting for aggression. ”

"My grandfather used to say that the best defense is offense." Xie Ruyu raised his eyebrows and said with his hands dancing, "When the enemy hasn't shown his fangs yet, attack fiercely and catch him off guard!" ”

Ye Tingfeng raised his eyebrows and smiled, no longer distinguishing.

Soldiers will speak of their aggression as righteous and awe-inspiring.

Seeing a group of children on the side of the road kicking shuttlecocks and having fun, Xie Ruyu said again, "However, it's better not to fight, just like that." ”

Because there was no shortage of silver taels on her body, Xie Ruyu, a young lady, did not control her shopping desire at all. After a while, Wen Qing's arms were full of things, all of which Xie Ruyu looked at and played, and she must buy them to play.

Wen Qing couldn't hold it, Xie Ruyu bought something to let Shi Rui hug, Shi Rui turned around and held Ye Tingfeng's arm, as if she couldn't hear Xie Ruyu's words.

Xie Ruyu looked at Shi Rui and gritted her teeth, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Madam, you should change to a maid and sell this." ”

Shi Ruiyi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xie Ruyu's eyes full of contempt.

After Wu Fengtian finished negotiating with the caravan and paying the silver taels that took them across the border, he chased after them from behind.

Looking at Ye Tingfeng, Wu Fengtian said, "Mo Mei, do you feel that something is wrong?" ”“

Wu Fengtian's sentence without a beginning or end made Ye Tingfeng, who was laughing with Xie Ruyu, slightly stunned. She looked at Tianwu Fengtian with wide eyes, and her eyes were full of doubts.

Wu Fengtian rolled his eyes and smiled at Ye Tingfeng, "That's it, it's nothing, let's go, find a home to rest in Rongcheng." ”

When marching and fighting, grain and grass go first. If Dashun and Dayue were to go to war, it would be impossible for the border pass to be so comfortable at this time.

Merchants come and go, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Whether it is the beginning or Rongcheng, it is a scene of peace and happiness.

He wanted to say all these words to Ye Tingfeng, but when he saw Ye Tingfeng, who had been frowning for many days, he finally smiled in his heart, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

Ye Tingfeng has never been on the battlefield, so he doesn't know anything about the march. Seeing that Wu Fengtian didn't say anything halfway through, and didn't ask in detail, Wu Fengtian led the way in front and led them into an inn called Fushun.

A group of five people rested in Rongcheng for more than ten days, and without waiting for the Wuyue carrier pigeon, Ye Tingfeng was unwilling to wait.

Leaving Dayue and returning to Dashun, her purpose has been achieved. The rest is the question of how to live.

It is impossible to go back to the palace.

Now that she is pregnant, returning to the palace will definitely cause Emperor Yongning to be angry, and whether the child in her womb can be born or not will have to be said.

What's more, this child's father is special, and Emperor Yongning is the monarch of a country, so she has to think about it a little more.

If she said that she went all the way to find her mother, she was afraid that her pregnant body would not be able to stand it.

After pondering deeply, Ye Tingfeng decided to go back to the Qingxin Pavilion.

Qingxin Pavilion is far away from the imperial city, and she can go back there to give birth with peace of mind. When the child in the womb is born, think about the way out in the future.

In May of the fourth year of Jianning, Wu Fengtian persuaded him not to listen to the maple at night, and the group went on the road again and went to the Qingxin Pavilion in the capital.

Otsuki Imperial Palace.

Mrs. Yu died, and before the national funeral passed in March, she went out of the palace to guard the tomb of the emperor, and died of illness in Lanlin Garden.

After the death of Madame Yu, Emperor Jianning gave her posthumous glory and allowed her to be buried as a lady.

The death of Mrs. Yu has no impact on the Liu family.

Because at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace banquet on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Mrs. Yu's brother had sent her eldest daughter Liu Miaoqing into the palace.

Liu Miaoqing is 14 years old, although she is not a charming city, but she is also a shy flower. In addition, Liu Miaoqing has been learning piano skills under Liu Wenming's intentional training since she was a child, and she can be described as an amazing one at the palace banquet.

On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, Emperor Jianning favored Liu's Miaoqing, and the next day, Liu Miaoqing was named the fourth product of Qingronghua.

Qing Ronghua became a concubine with a more sacred heart than Miao Niangzi.

After Empress Qin and Lady Yu died one after another, Lady Wen took charge of the harem and became the most powerful woman in the harem of Dayue.

Mrs. Wen's maiden family also rose and soon gained a place in the court.

The situation of one mountain and two tigers between Xie and Liu soon turned into a full force for Xie Liu and Wen.

In May, after Emperor Jianning named Lu Boyun as a general, he was promoted to the fifth grade Miao Niangzi as the fourth grade Miao Ronghua.

The Lu family rose rapidly.

At this time, the harem concubines, where do you still remember the Queen Qin who had a difficult birth in the Guanju Palace, and Mrs. Yu, who died in Lanlin Garden, they all set their eyes on Mrs. Wen, Le Chongrong, Liu Zhaorong, and Wen Chongyuan.

At the beginning of June of the fourth year of Jianning, the triennial election was once again put on the agenda.

According to the ancestral system, the triennial general elections should have been held from March.

Due to the national funeral, it was postponed for three months.

On the 10th day of the sixth month of the fourth year of Jianning, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, who had prepared various matters a year ago, began to send the roster of women and portraits to the palace in batches.

Because there is no queen in the middle palace, these miscellaneous matters of the draft fell on Mrs. Wen, Le Chongrong, and Liu Zhaorong.

On June 12 of the fourth year of Jianning, Mrs. Wen was full of joy, and Liu Zhaorong made an appointment in the water pavilion of the Biye Pond in the Imperial Garden to see the roster and portrait of the show girl sent in by the ceremonial officer.

Liu Zhaorong stretched out his hand to open a portrait, looked at it carefully, looked at it for a moment, pursed his cherry red lips and smiled, "Like." ”

Le Chongrong put down the roster in his hand and poked his head at Liu Zhaorong. After seeing the appearance of the beautiful woman in the painting, he also raised his willow eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's really like." ”

Mrs. Wen put down the teacup in her hand, picked up the brocade and wiped the corners of her mouth, her eyes were no longer indifferent in the past, but a little more cold, "What is it like?" ”

Liu Zhaorong turned the scroll in his hand so that Mrs. Wen could see the beauty on it clearly, "Sister Wen, do you look at this woman's appearance, is it very similar to Mrs. Zhaoyue?" ”

Mrs. Wen's eyes were lightly teased, and her gaze fell on the woman's face on the scroll.

Suddenly, Mrs. Wen smiled, pointed at the woman and smiled at Liu Zhaorong and Le Chongrong, "I don't know how this show girl herself is, but the appearance on this portrait is much worse than that of Mrs. Zhaoyue." On closer examination, only the nose and cheekbones resemble each other. There was a little less aura in his eyes......"

"Exactly." Liu Zhaorong didn't argue, put down the portrait and picked up the roster on the side, and whispered, "Tao Xianluo, a merchant girl." ”

The merchant girl is inferior to the official girl, so a few people don't look at it.

After Le Chongrong wiped the sweat on the side of his nose, he smiled at Mrs. Wen and Liu Zhaorong, "When it comes to Mrs. Zhaoyue, Mrs. Zhaoyue was also very favored in the past. But since Fengyang Hall was grounded in the water, he has never seen him again. ”

"It's too arrogant." Mrs. Wen smiled, "What if she is a princess who is close to her, and if she marries Da Yue, she is not a woman of Da Yue?" For the emperor's temperament, once or twice, the emperor looks fresh, three or four times, isn't it uncomfortable to find himself. ”

Liu Zhaorong smiled and did not answer.

Now although the main lady of Yijing Palace is still imprisoned in the Palace of Forgotten Worries, it is she Liu Zhaorong who really has the final say.

Jane once begged her to take a look in the palace of forgetting worries, but she didn't dare to agree.

Just because the palace people who were guarding outside the Hall of Forgetting Worries were all sent by Emperor Jianning, not to mention that Lady Zhen couldn't enter, even she couldn't take a step.

Le Yun looked up, and saw Miao Ronghua and Qing Ronghua, who were dressed in fancy clothes, passing hand in hand in the distance, and couldn't help but smile at the other two, "The relationship between the two of them is good." ”

Mrs. Wen only glanced at it, and then said with a smile, "Look at the son, it should be in the direction of Jianzhang Palace." ”

"It's good to be young, you can go to the Qingxin Hall with flowers." Liu Zhaorong smiled old-fashionedly, "It's not like the three of us, I can only sit here and sigh lightly at the beauty on the painting." ”

Mrs. Wen and Le Chongrong both covered their lips and laughed.

Miao Ronghua and Qing Ronghua did go to Jianzhang Palace, both of them had the softest smile on their faces, and Yingying whispered, like a pair of sisters with a very good relationship.

But only they know in their hearts whether they really treat the person in front of them as a sister.

Emperor Jianning was not in the Qingxin Palace, and Miao Ronghua went back after a few words of laughter with Ning Shi.

Qing Ronghua relied on his recent favor, and entered the inner hall with the palace maid on his side.

Ning Shi couldn't stop it, so she could only let Qing Ronghua go in, and she turned around and went out to order the little palace maid to make tea.

When Ning Shi entered the inner hall again, Qing Ronghua was holding a silver step shake and playing with it in her hand, and the broken jade on the step shook sounded.

Ning Shi was so frightened that her legs went weak and fell to the ground, and there was no trace of blood on her face.

Qing Ronghua heard the voice, looked back at Ning Shi, whose expression had changed greatly, shook the silver step in his hand and asked with a smile, "Before I came, but someone came?" Which sister is this step shake from? Why do you look like this, am I so scary? ”

Ning Shi's eyes were staring directly at Qing Ronghua's hand, her eyes were frightened, and her body trembled again and again, afraid that Qing Ronghua would accidentally damage the step.

"I'll ask you." Qing Ronghua raised her eyebrows, her eyes showed anger, and she slapped the step on the table with a 'snap'.

Ning Shi only felt her brain buzz for a moment, the back of her neck was cold, and her face turned from white to blue. She just wanted to climb forward to see if the step shake was damaged, but she heard a voice outside, "The emperor is back to the palace!" ”

Ye Tingfeng returned to Qingxin Pavilion with nearly five months of pregnancy. After learning about the whereabouts of Empress Ren from Xiao Dezi, who stayed in the Qingxin Pavilion, he insisted on going down to the south of the Yangtze River despite Wu Fengtian's dissuasion.

Jiangnan, Bian Zhou, her mother is there.

From the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, it can be reached in one day or two.

After thinking about it carefully, Wu Fengtian drove the carriage and went down to Jiangnan with the intention of listening to Feng at night.

At the end of July of the fourth year of Yongning, I listened to Feng and his party in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan is the territory of the Ye family, and the big cities and towns are the industries of the Ye family.

Because of the fast horses moving forward, as soon as the Feng and a few people entered the south of the Yangtze River, someone from the Ye family came out to respond, and after changing to a more comfortable carriage, they went straight to Bian Zhou.

Bian Zhou, a famous water town in Dashun, has been a place of beauty since ancient times.

When Wu Fengtian and his entourage stepped on the boundary of Bian Zhou, what caught their eyes was the soft beauties of Jiangnan all over the street.

Wu Fengtian feasted his eyes, because someone led the way to avoid the fatigue of driving. He rode on a tall red horse and quipped to Ye Tingfeng in the ornate carriage, "Momei, I just thought you were beautiful enough, but I didn't know that your appearance was just here for you." ”

Everyone likes beautiful things, and Xie Ruyu is no exception. After listening to Wu Fengtian's words, she retorted loudly to Wu Fengtian, "Brother Wu, those women are just a little more soft, how can any lady be good-looking." ”

Listening to Feng at night, she knew that Wu Fengtian was messing with her, whether it was good or not, she didn't care.

What she cares about is that she is finally going to see her mother.

Xiao Dezi, who was sitting in front of the carriage, was happy all the way, and while looking at the scenery on both sides of the street, he turned back to the night listening Feng in the carriage and said, "Fifth Miss, the master must be happy to see you." She's been asking people around for news of you for a year. ”

Ye Tingfeng stroked his bulging lower abdomen, and a worry rose in his heart, and he said to Xiao Dezi, "Xiao Dezi, do you say that my mother will be angry when she sees me?" ”

When she left Lingxi seven years ago, she was still a child who had just turned ten years old. Seven years later, she returned, a wife, and a mother of a child.

Xiao Dezi shook his head again and again, and smiled at Xiao Ye Tingfeng, "Impossible, Fifth Miss, it's too late for the master to be happy, how can you be angry?" ”

Ye Tingfeng bit her lower lip lightly, lifted the curtain and looked at the retreating scenery on the street, and her palms were slightly sweating.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage drove out of Bian Zhou City and headed for the suburbs.

It wasn't until sunset that the carriage stopped in front of a large mansion with a towering three-story gatehouse.

The three-zhang wide vermilion gate is closed, and a foot door is left on the left side of the gate for people to enter and exit. The stone lions on both sides are carved with subtle vigilance, and the teeth and claws are very majestic.

On the plaque in front of the door, two big characters are written in gold, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, Yefu.

Xie Ruyu looked at the gatehouse in front of her, which was not smaller than her Xie Mansion, and asked Ye Tingfeng, who was sitting beside her, "Madam, are you a daughter of a family?" ”

Listening to Feng and Wu Fengtian talk at night, she will use Dayue language for a while, and Dashun language for a while, so she still can't figure out what Ye Tingfeng's identity is.

Ye Tingfeng pursed his lips and smiled, the tension on his face did not decrease, "It's just a small family." ”

As he spoke, the driver of the chariot had said something to the gatekeeper at the door.

The coachman stepped back, and the majestic vermilion gate opened with a 'squeak'.

The butler-like figure who ran out of the mansion raised his voice and sang, "Welcome the fifth lady back to the house."

Wu Fengtian turned over and dismounted, handed the reins of the horse to the family who came out on the side, and stood on the side of the carriage with a blank face, putting his hand behind his back.

After entering the capital, he knew that Ye Tingfeng in front of him was really the princess of Dashun. After entering Jiangnan, I knew that Ye Tingfeng in front of me was not only the princess of Dashun, but also the princess.

This successive changes in identity made Wu Fengtian feel that now when he heard Feng say that she was a fairy in the sky who had fallen into the mortal world by mistake, he would not hesitate to believe it.

But the question also arises, why did the dignified princess of Dashun assassinate the infamous King Jin at the age of ten? Why did Wu Yue have to tie up Princess Dashun and rob Princess Heqin's honor guard?

Xiao Dezi didn't dare to sit in the carriage anymore and jumped down early. and pulled Wen Qing and Litmus, who were sitting side by side with him, down.

Wen Qing and Litmus were very confused, and they couldn't figure out the true identity of Ye Tingfeng, they only felt that they had entered a high-ranking family, and the rules were no less than those in the Dayue Palace.

Xie Ruyu is not a person without eyesight, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Madam, I'd better get out of the car." ”

Ye Tingfeng shook her head, she didn't care about these details, and her mother wouldn't care either.

Xie Ruyu just wanted to get out of the car, but the carriage had already moved and drove into the Ye Mansion.

Xie Ruyu opened the curtain on his side and looked out, and saw that the housekeeper was leading the horse himself, and the family slaves and maids were standing on both sides of the stone road, all bowing their heads and hands obediently, not daring to look directly at the carriage.

Putting down the curtain, Xie Ruyu said to Ye Tingfeng again, "Madam, the rules of your mansion are so big. ”

In Xie Mansion, only when Xie Yuanxing returns to his house, the housekeeper will take the reins, and the family members of the whole mansion will welcome the road. And Ye Mansion is just a young lady's return home.

The carriage did not stop when it entered the house, but walked for another quarter of an hour in the wide garden at sunset, and after turning two corners, it came to a high arch of hanging flowers.

Lotus Ye had been waiting there for a long time, and he couldn't stop smiling when he saw Xiao Dezi carrying a burden in front of the carriage. She walked to the carriage and blessed, and said with a smile, "Slave maid to the fifth princess...... Say hello to Miss Five. Fifth Miss, Madame is waiting for you. ”

Ye Tingfeng sat in the carriage, holding his lower abdomen, unspeakably nervous.
