Jiang Yaxuan was unwilling, Yan Qihuo had been thinking about Zhong Taojiao, and suddenly remembered someone, and then smiled.

"County King, I heard that the county lord of Mingzhu has made great contributions in Shanhaiguan!"

When Yan Qi heard this, his expression moved, and his eyes regained brilliance. Unconsciously smiled: "I've also heard that Mingzhu is really powerful." ”

"The concubine has also heard about it, but it is not accurate. Why don't you tell me about it? ”

Yan Qihuo was still more concerned about the battle at Shanhaiguan before, and he was interested, and told the antecedents of the alliance between Mongolia and Jurchen one by one. Speaking of Gu Fanghua and their stubborn defense of Shanhaiguan, there are thrilling places everywhere, and they are even more talkative.

Looking at Yan Qi, who was full of energy, as if she had changed with Yan Qi, who had changed people before, Jiang Yaxuan was jealous and sad.

In Yan Qihuo's mind, the location of the county lord of Mingzhu is really different. She would rather Yan Qihuo say that she likes the lord of Mingzhu than the rude girl of the Zhong family.

"I didn't expect that the county lord of Mingzhu would make such a miraculous feat. Then when he returns to Beijing, won't the emperor have a reward? But she was already the county lord, and no matter how much the emperor wanted to reward her with a princess, she wouldn't be able to do it. ”

Yan Qihuo was silent, and said after a while: "I heard that there are many people who were injured in Shanhaiguan this time, and I hope they are well." ”

Seeing that Yan Qihuo seemed to think of Zhong Taojiao again, Jiang Yaxuan said again: "The concubine still remembers that the last time I went to Tongzhou, the king of the county was with them, right?" ”

"It's all together."

"I heard that when I went to Tongzhou, the county lord of Mingzhu was very powerful. He also brought a scholar back, and it is said that he also made a great contribution on the road this time. ”

Yan Qihuo nodded lightly: "Mingzhu has a good eye." That Ye 13 is a dispatcher, and he has done the position of a transfer envoy at the beginning of his career, which is comparable to that of an old official. ”

"It turns out that the king of the county also knows him, so tell me about it."

Speaking of that trip to Tongzhou, now Yan Qihuo recalls it, it is all beautiful. He said that he laughed and talked about interesting things along the way, and was successfully taken back to his yard by Jiang Yaxuan.

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhong was also gossiping with Mama Fang.

"Do you say that girl is really wild, and she refuses to go back to Beijing to see the mourning family first."

Mama Fang pinched and rubbed Empress Dowager Zhong's legs, patted her lightly and smiled: "Empress Dowager, you are too careful." The county lord must have thought that the two young masters and young ladies of the Zhong family were injured, and he just wanted to wait for them to be together. ”

"Oh, according to the mourning family, maybe she is thinking about Xiao Yao. I also heard that the Shanhaiguan Customs will be broken that day, and the two of them are very close! ”

Empress Dowager Zhong was a little apprehensive, and her delicate granddaughter, who had been raised with hard work, was about to run away to someone else's house.

"Queen Mother. Think about it, now that the Marquis of Weiyuan has died in battle, the emperor has posthumously crowned the prince of the country. He also named the lord of Fuling as the lady of Yipinyiguo, the eldest son inherited the Marquis of Weiyuan, and Xiao Gongzi was named the new Marquis of Yingyi. Such a young upstart in the court who was crowned a marquis with his strength, looking at the entire court, with a complete thesis and martial arts, who can have one or two of him? ”

Mama Fang's words, Empress Dowager Zhong loves to listen.

He also nodded with a smile and said, "So the vision of the mourning family is still good." Now Zhu Zhu'er also likes it, that is, it is better. It's just that Wei Yuanhou died in battle, Xie also died, Xiao Yao's parents died, and Tongzhu Zhu'er was a hard-working child. ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to be sad, isn't this just right? After Marquis Xiao had been filial piety for three years, the king of the county was just sixteen years old. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong nodded, and the corners of her mouth curled: "Yes, wait for Zhu Zhu'er to talk about marriage after she is sixteen years old, and then discuss the marriage period after the three media and six wedding ceremonies, it is just right for Mingzhu to marry at the age of eighteen." ”

Mama Fang stopped with a smile and watched Dongchun serve a bowl of milk custard to Empress Dowager Zhong.

"The Queen Mother is right, those things we should do, we have to do it. Three years is not long, but it is not short, and it will pass in the blink of an eye. Sometimes the slave maid felt as if the county lord was still in infancy. ”

"Yes! Time flies, they're all older, and we're old. ”

In the deep palace, the master and servant whispered, looking forward to Gu Fanghua's bright future. The night is long and lonely, and there is always something to do.

In another part of the palace, it was a different scene.

Since Empress Jiang died of a violent illness, the four concubines went to three, and only Concubine Bai Xian was left alone in the harem, Xianfu Palace is the most lively place in the palace.

Moreover, Emperor Hong Zheng also handed over most of the rights of the harem to Concubine Bai Xian. It even made many people think that Concubine Bai Xian might be able to go one step further and enter the Kunning Palace.

Yanxiang stood under the porch and scolded the little palace maid fiercely: "Let you sweep the snow, and dare to be lazy, almost let the mother wrestle." If there is a little bit of damage, you can't afford to lose your head! ”

"My aunt spares her life, because there is moss under the snow, and the slave and maid don't dare anymore."

"Shut up! In this palace, there is no excuse to go to the Punishment Division to receive the punishment yourself! ”

Yanxiang watched the two little palace maids being dragged away, and then glanced at it arrogantly, and the other palace people in the courtyard who were cowering like quails lifted the curtain and entered the inner hall.

Concubine Bai Xian leaned crookedly on her arm, and Agarwood was waiting for her to drink snow lotus stewed snow clams.

Taking the warm cotton towel and wiping the corners of her mouth, Concubine Bai Xian glanced at the cigarette incense and said lightly: "Done?" ”

Yanxiang immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, the slave has been dealt with." These two little palace maids didn't listen to the mother's call and asked the Internal Affairs Office to choose another one. ”

"No need, you have been out recently, you are all restrained, don't go to the palace to make trouble. If this palace knows, it will be severely punished. ”

Although Concubine Bai Xian is gentle on weekdays, as long as she lowers her face, the people of Xianfu Palace are not afraid.

Yanxiang and Agarwood hurriedly came down and said in unison: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Seeing that Concubine Bai Xian took the embroidery shed again, she began to embroider the belt for Emperor Hong Zheng, and the cigarettes were busy moving the Sanyang Kaitai candlestick, and flicking the candle hearts one by one.

And diligently persuaded: "Niangniang, this night to embroider live to hurt the eyes, with Niangniang's current status, there is no need to do these rough jobs by yourself." ”

"Oh? Rough work? This palace has been done for more than ten years, why didn't you say it before? ”

Concubine Bai Xian didn't raise her head, she held the embroidery shed in one hand, and the needle in the other hand was fast and steady, as if she was chatting casually.

Smoke covered her mouth and snickered: "Niangniang, it was different before." ”

"What's the difference?"

Yanxiang saw that Concubine Bai Xian said casually, but she was not angry, and said intentionally: "Niangniang was pressed by Queen Jiang before, Concubine Shu and Concubine De have biological princes, and Concubine Chen Guifei is favored again, of course Niangniang has to plan." Now that Niangniang has worked hard, she is already the first person in the harem, why bother to do this? ”

The needle in Concubine Bai Xian's hand paused, raised her head, and said with a smile: "The first person in the harem? ”

"Yes! Now that the queen is vacant, the four concubines are only the mother, of course, the first person in the harem. Maybe when the five princes come back from their meritorious service this time, the emperor will also make Niangniang the queen. ”
