Chapter 77: The Flames of War Begin (2)

The water chestnut smiled and said: "The slave is okay, I have seen all the winds and waves with the master, but the princess is filial and keeps you all night, until this time, you see, people are boiled up." ”

The queen said angrily: "Then you don't know to let Lan Yi go back to rest early?" Her body is broken, and I can't see the little emperor and grandson. Go, bring me a cup of tea. I woke up and was nagged by you, I stayed in the palace for so long, and I didn't see you like this. ”

Lan Yi hurriedly took a hand, poured tea and helped hand it over, and said with a smile: "Erchen is not as useless as Aunt Lingjiao said, what is it to stay up all night, as long as the queen mother can be well, Erchen will not sleep at all in the future." ”

The queen laughed, told her not to talk nonsense, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Water chestnut said: "At three o'clock, it's time to pass the meal." ”

The queen said: "Changjue, you take Lan Yi to dinner, I don't need you to serve here, after eating, you don't have to come again, just go home and rest." ”

Wei Changjue said with a smile: "The imperial doctor said, the queen mother can eat and drink after she gets up, it is better, Erchen and Lan Yi are relieved, now they will go back to Prince Gong's Mansion to rest, and they will not stay in Weiyang Palace to eat, tomorrow morning, Erchen will do things for his father, let Lan Yi come to the palace to ask the queen mother for peace?" ”

The queen shook her head, "Lan Yi is also tired, let her rest in the mansion for a day tomorrow, why toss back and forth, I have water chestnuts here, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Wei Changjue said with a smile: "Then let Lan Yi decide whether to come or not, even if she comes, it is a filial piety of the family, and the queen mother can't drive her away." ”

No one knows how long the queen's sick body can last, and they all think that if they can make her happy for a day, it will be a day. And Lan Yi said on the carriage back to the palace: "Not only for her to be your mother, but also for filial piety, when this is the case, there is no need to give people a reason to chew the root of the tongue, as a junior, go to see her more, take a hand to do something for her, the queen mother is happy, and outsiders will not use this matter to slander us." ”

Wei Changjue nodded, "The queen mother's illness is not good for the doctor, you don't have to work too hard, if you are also ...... That's it, I can't say this kind of thing, in short, as long as I have time, I will go to the queen mother to take care of it, don't be tired of yourself. ”

"Speaking of which, are you going to get busy?" Lan Yi asked seriously, "After discussing things in Qianming Palace for so long, what results have you discussed?" ”

Wei Changjue said: "Dashun wants to start a war with Beihu. ”

Lan Yi was stunned, and suddenly a little nervous, "What about you?" Are you going to war? ”

Wei Changjue shook his head, "Don't worry, I won't go, Dashun still has generals outside, and it won't be the prince's turn to go on the expedition." The father of the fourth brother and sister, this time most of them are also going to go on the expedition, the emperor reuses General Pei, the fourth brother and sister as his family, naturally has to be appeased a lot, you don't have to worry about her being wronged, I think the fourth brother doesn't dare to really get along with her on this cusp. ”

Wei Changjue thought about what he thought, it was originally something to be happy about, but now Lan Yi really couldn't laugh, the word "war" was far away from her in the past, but now it is getting closer and closer, it can be seen that if you want to go to the top of the country, you have to bear the responsibility far more than others.

"I'm not worried about He Sheng's side for the time being, I'm just looking forward to not fighting."

Wei Changjue said: "There are also many ministers who advocate peace, and after the winter, the matter of collecting grain and grass has not become so easy, and it is very expensive to do it to Beihu." ”

Lan Yi asked, "What about you?" So what do you think? ”

Wei Changjue's gaze was extremely firm, "I'm the main battle." The young lord of Beihu is on the throne, and it is a time of internal instability, and the war against Dashun is likely to change the contradictions between the nobles to the incompatibility between countries. ”

Lan Yi said with some self-reproach: "To say something selfish, I'm afraid that you will go to the front line, but those soldiers who fight are also other people's husbands, brothers or sons, they fight for the stability of Dashun, but I only care about my own family." ”

Wei Changjue comforted her: "Everyone has selfishness, if you can say it like this, you will never harm others because of this, Lan Yi, I promise you, if I can not fight, I will definitely choose to make peace." ”

Lan Yi bowed his head and asked him again, "What can I do for you?" Is there anything I can help with what my father has explained? ”

Wei Changjue shook his head, "I just want to make a few more trips to the yamen and urge them to prepare for the war, so you can stay at home with peace of mind." ”

Lan Yi said "um", leaned on the carriage and thought for a while, suddenly sat up straight, and said with a somewhat nervous expression: "Changjue, I remember something, I don't know if you can mention it in front of my father, but as a woman, I don't know about the affairs of the court and politics, if it is not right, don't laugh at me." ”

"Be so polite to me? between husband and wife, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

Lan Yi said: "Last winter, Aunt Bai was still in charge of the house, I remember that she often said that the snow was too big, and she couldn't even buy a better charcoal, and there were guests in the Wind Lotus Garden at that time, so she had to spend a lot of money to burn charcoal every day, but I heard that outside the capital, many people froze to death." ”

Wei Changjue listened attentively, "You go on." ”

Lan Yi smiled suspiciously: "I just don't know, will it snow a lot this year?" If it's bigger than last year, how can it be good? There is a battle outside, and these people who are guarded are frozen and hungry first, and the soldiers outside cannot feel at ease. ”

Wei Changjue's expression was very solemn, pondered for a moment, and shook Lan Yi's hand vigorously, "At this time last year, I was dragged down by the affairs of the Fifth Emperor Brother, and I almost didn't know everything that happened outside, although I had heard about the heavy snowfall, I didn't know very well what was going on in the places further north. Lan Yi, it's good that you told me that I need to find out more information before I can report it to my father. ”

Lan Yi was very happy when he heard that his suggestion was useful, but Wei Changjue thought about it for a while, felt that it was no later to do, and directly called to stop, and told Lan Yi that he didn't have to wait for him to come back for dinner tonight, so he got out of the carriage and hurried away.

Lan Yi knew that he was still busy, and he didn't ask much, so he just told Xiao Yanzi to wait, and then he took people back to Prince Gong's mansion, at this moment the sky was already dark, and after entering the door, he planned to pass the meal as soon as possible, but he didn't want to walk through a corridor, and suddenly saw Mama Wan holding a rattan stick, and she was losing her temper at a little girl.

After being beaten by Lan Yi before, Mama Wan was quiet for a while, but during this time, Wei Changjue and Lan Yi were not there, she had a place to use, and slowly picked up the feeling of being a powerful man before, and now her movement of waving rattan was quite neat, and she was full of scolding and concentrated, and she didn't notice that Lan Yi had quietly walked behind her with Ning Fu.

"It's so hard for you to do something? Bullying me I'm old and can't beat you up? ”

The little maid trembled and knelt on the ground, Lan looked at them once or twice, it should be the person who did the sprinkling and sweeping work in the northeast corner of the palace, and she didn't know how to offend Mama Wan, and she was carried to a place where people came and went to be scolded.

After a few rattans, the little maid couldn't help crying, but Mama Wan didn't want her to cry, and said sharply: "What is the funeral, our master of Prince Gong's Mansion is not dead yet!" ”

This is similar to a curse word, which really makes Ning Fu angry, Lan Yi realized that people like Wan Mama will not give up if they don't toss themselves to death, looking at Ning Fu, he made a look, made another move, nodded, Ning Fu immediately understood, rushed up and kicked Wan Mama's ass fiercely.

Mama Wan was scolding rising, but suddenly with such a lot of strength, an old bone couldn't stand it, "Ahh

And Ning Fu's voice sounded at the right time, "God, isn't this Mama Wan?" Why don't you do serious things and curse here? I think it's a thief from outside who bullies the maids in our palace! This kick is so unbearable! ”

Mama Wan was in a lot of pain, and she couldn't scold anyone if she wanted to, and she was about to rush back and tear it, Lan Yi came over with a few little eunuchs, and pointed to her and said: "Hold her down for me, anyone dares to bully the people of Prince Gong's Mansion here!" It must be a shrew who came in from outside, why, while my Highness and I were not at home, I fabricated an identity and wanted to coax those maids and minions?! ”

As soon as Mama Wan was about to speak, the little eunuch directly pressed her to the ground, but Ning Fu said: "Princess, it's Mama Wan, the sky is too dark, I can't see anything clearly, the slave kicked her over, only to find out that it was her own person." ”

Lan Yi looked surprised, "You read that right?" Mama Wan is the person selected by the concubine, and she is the most polite and courteous, how could she send the maids in the palace at will when the lord and the monarch and mother are not there? ”

Mama Wan swallowed her anger, her arm was pressed, and the injuries on her face were unbearable, so she could only recognize her identity and beg for mercy first, "If you go back to the princess, it is a slave maid, and the slave maid did not send the maid in the house at will, the slave and maid are just teaching this girl the rules." ”

Lan Yi leaned over to take a look and said, "Yo, it's really Mama Wan, let it go quickly, you said that it's going to be dark this day, you teach the rules here, don't pay attention to it, I really can't tell if it's someone from the house, Ning Fu, don't apologize to Mama Wan soon." ”

Ning Fu stepped forward in a fake manner and saluted, "It's all the slave's fault, I'm afraid that there will be villains in the palace, and I ask Mama Wan not to worry about the slave." ”

Wan Mama, a person who knows more about etiquette in front of Lan Yi, where does she dare to be Ning Fu's gift at this moment, she took two steps to the side, and after avoiding it, she just hated and said: "Ning Fu is the personal maid next to the princess, and she salutes the slave maid, isn't it the life of the slave and the maid?" Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”
