But when the emperor spoke, the chief steward and father-in-law obeyed the order and retreated outside the imperial study with several maids and little eunuchs.

Xie Yunxiu was satisfied, and glanced at Chen Yue, who had been standing beside him but didn't have time to take care of him, and tried to make the emperor retreat.

However, the emperor said, "It's okay." ”

Since this is the case, Xie Yunxiu is not easy to force. glanced at Chen Yue, thinking that the emperor valued Chen Yue very much. Xie Yunxiu's eyes revealed rustiness, while Chen Yue showed a sense of exploration and provocation.

The emperor reminded Xie Yunxiu: "Master Xie, what's the matter like this?" ”

Xie Yunxiu waved her hand before saying, "Back to the emperor, another important thing that the minister came here today is about the women's army. ”

At the mention of the Women's Army, the emperor's eyes lit up, but he was full of interest: "Oh? Women's Scouts? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Yunxiu briefly introduced: "It is the women's army who helped in the battle with Zheng Guo." ”

At the mention of the battle of Zheng State, the emperor fell into recollection.

At that time, news came from the front line, saying that Hui Shangyi was intercepted and besieged, but fortunately with the help of the women's army, he was able to get out. Moreover, in that battle, the Women's Army also played a major role, which can be said to have made great contributions.

However, the emperor and everyone in the court were trapped by feudal etiquette, and although they appreciated the bravery and courage of the women's army, they still did not approve and did not propose a reward to the emperor.

What's more, the people in the Imperial City of the Shengguo Kingdom only know the help of the Women's Army, but they don't know where the Women's Army comes from. Even if you have the heart and knowledge, you will not end up with a disease.

Fortunately, Xie Yunxiu mentioned the Women's Army today, and the emperor took advantage of this to find out.

"I heard about the Women's Army assisting at the border earlier, but I didn't know much about it." The emperor said with a hint of pity in his words: "I didn't see it." ”

Xie Yunxiu stood upright, with one hand behind him, and listened carefully. When Chen Yue heard the words 'Women's Army', he was also very curious, and looked at Xie Yunxiu uncontrollably, as if urging him.

"I don't know if Junshi Xie mentioned this today, but it has something to do with the general's mansion?" The emperor began to speculate: "Isn't there a person in the women's army who General Hui likes?" ”

Hearing this, Xie Yunxiu almost laughed. Holding back a smile, Xie Yunxiu spoke: "Your Majesty, there is no one in the Women's Army who General Hui wants, but among the leaders of the Women's Army, there are people that General Hui cares about. ”

The emperor looked at Xie Yunxiu's pretentious expression, smiled, and asked, "I don't know who it is?" ”

Xie Yunxiu instead sold Guanzi, "The emperor might as well guess again?" ”

"Bold!"

Chen Yue was anxious, and Xie Yunxiu was talking to the emperor like this, so he couldn't sit idly by.

The emperor was rarely indifferent, and waved his hand, indicating that it had nothing to do with it.

"Since Junshi Xie said this, then I naturally can't refute the interest of Junshi." The emperor stood up and walked down to stand side by side with Xie Yunxiu and Chen Yue: "Then I'll guess." ”

In fact, it was a guess, but Xie Yunxiu's words had already reached this point, and the emperor had the answer after thinking about it.

Thinking of this answer, the emperor's face revealed surprise, and he said in disbelief: "Isn't it Xiao Li?" ”

Xie Yunxiu raised her eyebrows and replied, "The emperor only guessed half right. ”

"Half?" The emperor and Chen Yue spoke in unison, obviously unable to believe that there was one more person besides Xiao Li.

"Who?" The Emperor asked directly, with a commanding tone in his tone.

Xie Yunxiu is upright: "It's Mrs. Wu!" ”

"Lady Wu......" the emperor repeated as if he were talking to himself.

"Exactly." Xie Yunxiu gave an affirmative reply, and then said: "Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wu worked together to create the Women's Army, recruit women who are loyal to the country, personally supervise every day, and practice carefully to have today's Women's Army." ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded and praised: "It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows." ”

Chen Yue and Xie Yunxiu also recognized and admired Xiao Li and Wu very much.

However, the emperor did not know what to be sure of, so he asked again for verification: "Is this true? ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister is willing to vouch for his life, this matter is serious, and it will not be adulterated!" Xie Yunxiu swore by it.

"If you chose to hide it before, why do you tell it now?" The emperor frowned, puzzled by this, and really couldn't think of any connection between this matter and the marriage.

Xie Yunxiu patiently explained; "Your Majesty, you think, General Hui's favorite is Xiao Li. Who is Xiao Li? is a person who can help him on the battlefield, and how can he be compared with the ladies and ladies of the family next to him. ”

Hearing this, although the emperor recognized Xiao Li's ability, it was not comparable to those women. However, if the Women's Army was really built by Xiao Li, then this would also become a big trouble for him.

Now, he was already afraid of Hui Shangyi, and he was worried about him rebelling day and night, and now he added Xiao Li, which made him even more worried.

However, the emperor already knew in his heart that Hui Shangyi was not interested in those gentle women. But if he is asked to find a woman who is keen on martial arts and the art of war, it will be really difficult for him. Even if you find it, it's hard to control yourself. The Emperor could not help but feel sad about this.

Xie Yunxiu waited and waited, seeing that the emperor was silent. So he took the opportunity to accuse: "Your Majesty, the minister asked the emperor for concealing this matter!" ”

The emperor's thoughts were pulled back, and he stared at Xie Yunxiu for a long time before he said disapprenously: "It's okay." "Read

However, although the emperor said this, he was very worried in his heart. Thinking that Hui Shangyi now not only has a strategic and scheming military advisor like Xie Yunxiu to complement him, but also has such a talented and wise lady, which makes him even more taboo.

Chen Yue saw the emperor's thoughts, and also felt distressed. He hated Hui Shangyi and wanted to get rid of him. But at present, the border of the Shengguo is turbulent, and it is precisely because of Hui Shangyi that the leader does not dare to act rashly. If the General's Mansion is punished at this time, I am afraid it is equivalent to self-destruction.

However, Hui Shangyi openly resisted the decree and despised Tianwei, and it was not easy to use the topic to play, and if he missed it, it would be difficult to find a reason to convince the people who supported him. After all, if the matter of marriage is resolved today, then it is impossible to use this method to punish Hui Shangyi in the coming day.

"How can I trust your one-sided words?"

The emperor tried his best to find a loophole to overturn Xie Yunxiu's statement, in order to cure the deception.

In the emperor's opinion, if Hui Shangyi is not removed for a day, he will be uneasy when he sits on the throne. At present, Hui Shangyi's disciples are full of talents, and when they are broken one by one, they can be foolproof when they do it to Hui Shangyi.

Xie Yunxiu didn't want his words to come to this point, the emperor was still stubborn, thinking that he was fake, and he couldn't help but be upset, but he was helpless.

"So be it." The emperor proposed: "I will summon General Hui into the palace and ask him for a confirmation or two." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yunxiu's eyes widened and she was surprised.

Let Hui Yuzhong testify, he is very unsure. How to say that Hui Yuzhong and Hui Shangyi are not in harmony, and the two of them are even more stiff in the matter of yesterday's decree, it is difficult to ensure that Hui Yuzhong will not use this to damage the interests of his own son.

"The Emperor's ......"

Xie Yunxiu was about to open his mouth to stop him, but the emperor had already summoned someone to invite Hui Yuzhong into the palace.

Helpless, Xie Yunxiu had to make sufficient preparations to adapt at will.

Inside the General's Palace.

Xiao Li and Hui Shangxian are getting together and talking to each other. The conversation was about how to help Hui Yuzhong so that the Wu clan could reconcile with him.

The two listed a number of ideas, but most of them were crossed out for some reason.

"Tsk, it's really hard." Xiao Li suddenly lay on the stone table and sighed.

Hui Shangyi also felt tired. The solutions they came up with were all relatively young, and I was afraid that Hui Yuzhong would not be able to accept it. The main concern is whether the Wu family can buy it.

"Sister, Sanghyun." Qi Zhen led the maid over to deliver refreshments: "You are tired, eat something and rest." ”

Hearing Qi Zhen's voice, Hui Shangxian suddenly felt as energetic as being beaten with chicken blood, and ran forward to hug his daughter-in-law.

"Really." Hui Sang-hyun tried to get tired of Qi Zhen.

Qi Zhen glanced at Xiao Li, and saw that he was looking at her and Hui Shangxian with interest, and his heart was shy, so he pushed Hui Shangxian away, walked directly to Xiao Li and sat down.

Hui Sang-hyun, whose enthusiasm was ignored, was sullen and sat down in front of the two of them angrily.

"Ouch." Xiao Li looked at Hui Shangxian, but said to Qi Zhen: "Look at it, this is jealous of me." ”

Qi Zhen naturally noticed it, but he didn't do anything, but said, "Sister, don't worry about him." ”

These words fell into Hui Shangxian's ears, and he was even more displeased, so he snorted and walked away.

Qi Zhen wanted to shout, but gave up in the end.

Xiao Li couldn't help but say, "My sister Qi Zhen, don't you really chase after you and coax your husband?" ”

Qi Zhen shook his head, his face straight.

Looking at Qi Zhen's expression, Xiao Li stopped joking and became serious: "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Hearing this, Qi Zhen nodded. He was silent for a while before he spoke: "Sister, it is really ...... that Qi Zhen failed to stand on your side and speak for you yesterday."

Before Qi Zhen finished speaking, Xiao Li had already pushed Qi Zhen's shoulder and said freely: "Don't think about it, I don't blame you!" That's it, whatever. ”

After listening to Xiao Li's words, Qi Zhen did relax, but he was still worried that there would be a rift between the two.

Xiao Li saw that Qi was really worried, and said bluntly: "Don't worry, although you and I are not sisters, we are very compatible, and I cherish this sisterhood." ”

As he spoke, he held Qi Zhen's hands and continued: "I, I will never have any bad feelings towards you because of this little thing, don't worry." ”

After speaking, Qi Zhen was even more embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, sister, I'm ...... I'm thinking too badly again. ”

Xiao Li laughed out loud, straight Qi is so cute. Qi Zhen couldn't withstand Xiao Li's attack, and got up to hide.

suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with Xiao Li to visit the General's Mansion yesterday, so he said: "Sister, don't trouble me." Let's take a look around the mansion, shall we? Qi Zhen is not familiar with it yet! ”

"Okay." Xiao Li didn't think much about it, and agreed directly.

Seeing Xiao Li's boldness, Qi Zhen was even happier and took the initiative to pull Xiao Li to run.

Xiao Li didn't resist, and let Qi Zhen pull him.
