Her Yu'er, the only prince of Da Yue, became a bargaining chip for Emperor Yongning to threaten Da Yue's retreat.

A cold wind howled, blowing the moonlight cloak behind Ye Tingfeng with snowflakes. The heavy cloak fluttered with the cold wind, and then slowly fell.

A palace maid named Lan Xin walked out of the hall, and after hearing Feng Fu's blessing to the night, she said, "Fifth princess, it's cold outside, you better go to the palace." ”

Ye Tingfeng shook her head, and the green silk that was not tied up in a bun was blown by the cold wind and wrapped around her side.

It's cold, is there a chill in her heart?

When Dashun was in trouble, Da Yue sent troops to Dashun. As Emperor Jianning said, her husband sent troops to fight her country, and then her brother wanted to exchange his children for peace.

Watching his tears fall into the snow, Ye Tingfeng slowly squatted down.

Putting her jade hand in the snow where fresh snow had fallen, she couldn't feel the coldness of the snow.

"Fifth princess, the little prince is crying." Lan Xin said again.

Listening to Feng's thoughts, he raised his cold hand to wipe the tears on his eyes, and walked towards the Changle Palace.

In the Changle Palace, the little prince, who was almost one year old, was lying in the arms of the nurse and screaming. Seeing Ye Tingfeng come in, he raised his little hand and called sweetly, "Mother." ”

Ye Tingfeng took off the cloak on his body and handed it to the palace maid on the side, put his bloodless hand on the charcoal basin to roast it, and then walked to the nurse and hugged the little milk baby into his arms.

"Mother......" The little prince wrapped his neck around Ye Tingfeng's neck, and his little hand wrapped around Ye Tingfeng's hair.

Ye Tingfeng sat down in front of the low kang, afraid that his hair would cut the little prince's hand, so he coaxed softly, "Yu'er, let go of my mother's hair, my mother will give you fun." ”

Picking up the jade-faced small drum on one side, Ye Tingfeng gently beat it.

When the little prince heard the sound of the drum, he let go of the hair of the night listening to the maple to play with the small drum, and laughed when he listened to the drum.

Lan Xin walked behind Ye Tingfeng, took the grate and gently gave Ye Tingfeng a head, tied all her hair up, and pulled it into a simple bun, revealing her white neck.

Outside the Changle Palace, a palace maid suddenly sang, "The queen has arrived"

Lan Xin put down the jade hairpin she picked up, and knelt down with a few nurses who walked to the door of the hall.

As if he hadn't heard it, he held the child in his arms and didn't raise his head.

Jingyu was dressed in a red embroidered phoenix placket waist palace dress, with a wishful bun on her head, and a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin, full of luxury.

She slowly walked into the inner hall with the hand of the palace maid Zizhu and stood in front of Ye Tingfeng.

Lowering her head slightly, she stretched out her hand to tease the little prince in Ye Tingfeng's arms, raised her delicately painted willow eyebrows, and smiled, "Princess, the little prince is really cute." ”

The sound is soft, like a spring flowing slowly in summer.

The little prince raised his fleshy little hand and grabbed the ruby tassel hanging from Jingyu's bun.

Zizhu was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, wanting to break the little prince's hand and take out the tassel.

"Presumptuous!" Jingyu drank coldly, not angry but threatening.

Zizhu was so frightened that her body shook and hurriedly retreated.

Jingyu gently held the little prince's hand and touched the bun with the tassel. When you feel that it is a step shake, you remove it from the bun.

With a slight force on the white and tender fingers, the ruby tassel was dragged down from the step, and the little prince took it to play.

With a wave of his hand, the gold was made into a plum blossom shape, and the step without the tassel was thrown onto the table on the side, making a soft 'pop' sound.

Jingyu stood up straight and said coldly to the palace maids behind her, "All stand down, this palace wants to say a few words to the fifth princess." ”

Turning around, Jingyu whispered to Ye Tingfeng again, "Fifth princess ......"

Ye Ting Feng raised his head, called the nurse over, and asked the nurse to take the little prince out.

After everyone in the palace retreated, Jingyu picked up her skirt and sat on the ground, leaned her head full of beads under Ye Tingfeng's legs, and gently closed her eyes.

Jingyu's post-sealing ceremony, Ye Tingfeng did not attend, this is the first time she has seen Jingyu after returning to the palace.

Ye Tingfeng raised his hand and stroked it on the beaded bun of Jingyu hairpin.

Just like what Lotus Ye said, the pure language is no longer the pure language of the past. She no longer has the timid look she had five years ago. One look can make the palace maid tremble with fright.

After taking the cotton handkerchief, Ye Tingfeng wiped away a tear that slipped from the corner of Jingyu's eyes, and asked softly, "Jingyu, do you hate me?" ”

Jingyu buried her face between Ye Tingfeng's legs, nodded, and shook her head again.

After shaking her shoulders for a while, Jingyu slowly raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, she looked at Ye Tingfeng and said, "I hated you, but later, I don't know what hatred is......"

Ye Tingfeng helped Jingyu up from the ground, let her sit beside her, and asked, "Jingyu, what have you paid for this day?" ”

"Kind, simple, benevolent......" Jingyu leaned his head on Ye Tingfeng's shoulder, looked at the unknown place in the Changle Palace, and said softly, "My love for your imperial brother, and our imperial son......"

Hearing this, Feng lowered his head to look at Jingyu, but only saw Jingyu's fair forehead, and there was a faint jasmine fragrance around his nose.

"You, failed to give birth to him?" When Li Qingcao left the palace, Jingyu was pregnant.

"I was born, and I am a prince." Jingyu clutched the knots of his sleeves, "Your imperial brother likes it very much." But I couldn't protect him, and when he was two years old, he died in my arms......"

Listening to Feng's heart at night, the pain in his heart turned into tears, and one by one slipped down from the corners of his eyes. She stretched out her hand to hold Jingyu's and choked up, "It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me back then, you wouldn't have to suffer so much." It's all my ......."

"It's either Da Shun or Da Yue." Jingyu sat up straight, took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of Ye Tingfeng's eyes, and there was no sadness in his tone, "Choose one of the two, I'd rather be in Dashun ......"

If Ye Tingfeng didn't push her onto Emperor Jianning's dragon bed, she would now be Emperor Dayue's concubine. Dashun Palace, at least she is familiar with, went to Dayue, she really had no way to live.

Looking at the pure words that covered up the sadness in an instant, Ye Tingfeng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, and said, "In five years, you have changed too much, but I am still ......the same as before."

"I treat a day as if it were a year." Jingyu replied, "I can't live even if I don't count for a day." I have nothing, no strong family, no emperor's favor, no emperor's son...... Princess, would you treat a day as if it were a year? ”

Listening to Feng shaking her head at night, she, she treats a year as a day.

In the two years that she stayed in the Dayue Palace, no matter whether Emperor Jianning's love for her was true or not, he held her in the palm of his hand. Even if you calculate with the concubines in the harem, you can also discuss it with Emperor Jianning.

After leaving Da Yue, she found Lingxi, and the family has been together for a year, and now it makes her think about it like a dream.

Beauty is illusory and unreal.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Ye Tingfeng raised his head, looked at Jingyu and smiled, "It's my eldest brother who asked you to come." ”

She was placed under house arrest in the Changle Palace, on the orders of Emperor Yongning. Without his hand, it would not have been possible for a country to come in.

Jingyu nodded, raised his tender white palms and struck each other three times.

The maid came in with a food box and placed four dishes and a pot of sake on the carved table in the inner hall.

After the palace maid withdrew, Jingyu stood up, walked to the table, picked up the jade pot and poured two glasses of wine, picked it up and handed it to Ye Tingfeng, and said softly, "Princess, if you meet again in five years, the maid will give you a glass." ”

Ye Tingfeng waved his hand again and again, and when he took the wine cup, tears suddenly fell, and said, "Don't, you are now the queen of a country, and I can't afford to be a servant of you." ”

Jingyu touched Ye Tingfeng's wine cup, raised his head and drank it, and said, "It's just a name outside the body, I am a queen, but I don't want to die." ”

Ye Tingfeng took a sip of wine and waited for Jingyu to continue.

"Floods in the south of the Yangtze River have caused no grain harvest, and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. Wei has always been a small border country attached to Dashun, but this year, it took advantage of the disaster of Dashun to send troops, and it has been fighting for more than half a year. After Jingyu sighed lightly, he said to Ye Tingfeng again, "Fifth princess, these two are big things, countless small things, and there are many, Dashun is no longer able to start a war with Dayue." The Great Moon Emperor is overwhelmed by heavy troops, and you know in your heart why ......"

Ye Tingfeng lowered his head, his heart was sour. Emperor Jianning may not care about her, but the only prince of the Dayue royal family must be taken.

shook his head again and again, listening to Feng at night and reluctant to let go of his own children. She put the wine cup in her hand on the side table, still shaking her head.

Jingyu sat down and asked, "Are you waiting for the Queen Mother to come out and make decisions for you and keep the little prince safe?" ”

Ye Ting Feng looked up at Jingyu and cried again.

That's right, her only hope now is her mother. As long as her mother speaks, Emperor Yongning will definitely scruple three points.

The selfishness of being a mother made her not want to think about the war situation between the two countries, she just wanted to keep the little prince by her side and watch him grow up.

"Fifth princess, the emperor said that as long as you agree to return the little prince to Da Yue, he will give you a good son-in-law in Dashun, and the child you give birth to in the future will be crowned a king."

Ye Tingfeng still shook her head, she didn't care about the identity of a princess or not, she just wanted her children to be by her side.

Jingyu poured herself another glass of wine, drank it lightly, and said, "Since you don't agree, then you can only let the emperor talk to the queen mother." The emperor said that the Queen Mother can choose between you and King Yi. ”

Ye Ting Feng raised his head violently, a chill rose in his heart, "What do you mean?" ”

"What the emperor's heart is for the queen mother, you and I both know it, the queen mother's words, the emperor will definitely consider it." Jingyu handed the wine glass full of wine to Ye Tingfeng, lightly opened her lips, and said softly, "If the Queen Mother chooses you, the emperor will decree that King Feng Yi will be the general, regardless of all the consequences and costs, dispatch all the remaining forces of Dashun to fight against Dayue to ensure the safety of your mother and son." ”

Seeing that Ye Tingfeng's face was completely pale, Jingyu said again, "If the Queen Mother chooses King Yi, the emperor will no longer care about your thoughts, and will directly take the little prince away and return it to Emperor Dayue to calm this war." ”

"Fifth princess, do you think Empress Ren will choose you or King Yi?"

"How could he do this to my mother!" Ye Tingfeng suddenly yelled at Jingyu, "How can he be so embarrassed for my mother." ”

"It's hard to be the queen mother, it's not the emperor," Jingyu put the wine cup back on the table, bowed her head and said, "It's you." ”

It's hard to be the queen mother, it's not the emperor, it's you.

It's not the emperor, it's you.

Ye Tingfeng trembled and put his hands on his face, choking up.

After a long time, she sobbed and said, "My child and I will go back to Dayue together, and we will go back together." ”

She can't let her brother go to the battlefield, and she can't let her mother wash her face with tears.

Jingyu suddenly burst into tears, pursed her lips and said, "Fifth princess, in this case, will the emperor marry another princess to Dayue?" Even if you don't want to be a princess, the emperor won't allow it. ”“

On October 18 of the fifth year of Yongning, King Yi went to the fold and asked for the command to take command and set out for the big moon.

Emperor Yongning scolded him and threw the fold back.

On October 20 of the fifth year of Yongning, King Yi entered the palace to visit Ye Tingfeng, and after he could not enter the Yongshou Palace, he went up again and asked for the order to go to Dayue.

Emperor Yongning's face was gloomy, and he asked the guards to throw Li Lingyi out of the palace.

On October 22 of the fifth year of Yongning, Emperor Yongning recruited Li Lingyi into the palace and issued a secret decree ordering him to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to secretly escort the prince of Dayue to Rongcheng and negotiate with Dayue to withdraw from the army.

Li Lingyi did not accept the order.

Emperor Yongning's face was gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, "Then I can only find someone else to escort me." ”

Li Lingyi felt a chill in his heart, and knelt down to receive the order.

If he sends it, he will protect the safety of the prince of the Great Moon, if it is someone else, it is difficult to say.

On October 29 of the fifth year of Yongning, a light snow fell in the sky.

In the Changle Palace, Ye Ting Feng was holding the little prince who was having fun in his arms, and his eyes were warm.

She kissed the little prince's fleshy little hand with a poop, and her heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife. She looked at all kinds of gadgets on the bed, and said to the little prince, "Yu'er, my mother will celebrate your birthday today." ”

There is still a month before the little prince turns one year old, but she can't wait, the war between the two countries is tense, and the child will be taken away and sent to Dayue the next day.

This was supposed to be done on the first birthday, but the night was a month ahead of schedule.

"What is Yu'er going to do when she grows up?" Ye Tingfeng put the little prince on the bed and guided him to grab the things on the bed.

The little prince crawled on the bed, knocking the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, step shake, jade plate and other things everywhere.

While crawling, the little hand caught a purse and pulled out a jade pendant from it. The little prince was very interested in the jade pendant, and raised it to listen to the night and screamed.

Ye Tingfeng sniffed, and tears fell again.

The little prince crawled in a mess and turned out the willow leaf concentric purse she had placed under the embroidered pillow. This jade pendant is the phoenix pendant.

"Yu'er likes this?" Ye heard Feng sob, and tied the jade pendant around the waist of the little prince.

The little prince shook the jade pendant around, and muttered a few words that Ye Tingfeng couldn't understand.

Ye listened to the maple laughed, and then cried again.

On the first day of the 11th month of the fifth year of Yongning, Li Lingyi took the little prince and the nurse, escorted by 5,000 elite soldiers, and secretly went to Dayuerong City.

Since the tense situation between Dayue and Dashun, Xie Ruyu washed his face with tears. This time Li Lingyi went to Rongcheng, Xie Ruyu said that he would follow him, and he was so stubborn that Li Lingyi's teeth itched.

In the end, under Xie Ruyu's tearful offensive, Li Lingyi could only agree.

Because he couldn't travel fast with his children, when Li Lingyi and Xie Ruyu approached Rongcheng, it was already November in Yongning.

At this time, the Dashun generals were angry, just because a woman appeared in the enemy camp.

That woman was none other than Princess Zhaoyue, who Dashun and his relatives went.

Princess Zhaoyue did not have her own camp tent, and stayed in General Otsuki's camp at night, no different from the prostitutes who accompanied the army.

Da Yue trampled on the dignity of the Dashun royal family so much, which already made the Dashun soldiers angry. They had long wanted to send troops across the border to let Da Yue taste the power of Da Shun.

But Emperor Yongning, who was far away in the capital, did not give an order, and they did not dare to send troops privately.

The order given by Emperor Yongning is, if the enemy moves, I will attack, if the enemy does not move, I will defend!

On the third day of December in the 11th year of Yongning, Li Lingyi arrived in front of the two armies under the escort of 5,000 elite soldiers.

At this time, Rongcheng had become an empty city, and all the inn merchants abandoned their shops, and there was not a single civilian person on the street except for the rows of patrolling soldiers.

After settling down in the camp tent prepared in advance, Li Lingyi went out with a few guards to meet the general who commanded the 300,000 army.

When he learned from the soldiers who led them forward that the emperor of Dayue had rewarded Princess Zhaoyue to his subordinates and walked with the army, like a prostitute, Li Lingyi's eyes turned red, and he was furious!

After the anger, a chill rose in Li Lingyi's heart.

With the angry mood of the Dashun soldiers at this time, they can do anything. If they knew that they were coming this time, they were holding the prince of Otsuki......

Thinking about it in no hurry, Li Lingyi turned around with the guards around him, and rushed to the camp where he settled like crazy.

In front of the tent, the five hundred elite soldiers left by Li Lingyi to protect Xie Ruyu and the little prince were lying on the ground and tied up with ropes. In the tent, the nurse had vomited blood and died.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fifth year of Yongning, the Dashun Palace was lit up with lights, which was very festive.

Ye Tingfeng was under house arrest in the Changle Hall and could not go out, and the joy outside the Changle Hall had nothing to do with her.

She sat on the low kang that was burning warm, looking out the window at the sky, which was getting darker and darker.

It had been two months since the little prince left her, and according to the speed of the march, he should have reached the territory of Dayue at this time.

Sniffing, her heart ached terribly.

Lan Xin came in with food, and after setting it on the table, she whispered to Ye Tingfeng, "Fifth princess, you can use something." ”

Before Lan Xin's words fell, a firecracker sounded outside the Changle Palace.

Immediately, the colorful light was reflected on the window paper of the Changle Palace.

Lan Xin scooped a bowl of rice porridge and brought it to Ye Tingfeng, and said, "Fifth princess, you eat something, and then the slave and maid will go with you to watch the fireworks." ”

Ye Tingfeng retracted his gaze from the window and shook his head gently. She couldn't eat and didn't want to go out to watch the fireworks.

With a 'squeak' sound, Emperor Yongning walked in with Xiaojingzi.

Ye Tingfeng glanced up at Emperor Yongning, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Emperor Yongning looked at Ye Tingfeng, who had been thin for a while, and sighed. He waved his hand to the small well behind him and said, "Put the wine and food on the table." ”

Xiao Jingzi agreed from the throat, raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and put the wine and food he brought on the table with his hands and feet.

After it was arranged, he said to Emperor Yongning, "Your Majesty, it has been arranged." ”

"Go down."

Xiao Jingzi bowed his waist and withdrew with Lan Xin.

Emperor Yongning approached Ye Tingfeng, stretched out his hand and tried to grab Ye Tingfeng's long hair, and put her in a bun.
