Chapter 167: A Famous Lady Slaps Her Face and a White Lotus (30)
A month later –
The report of the battle at the front came that Li Changhe had suffered a great defeat in Shandong, and the army was seriously damaged and could be lost at any time.
Even, several local counties in Shandong have taken the initiative to submit to the rebels.
The front-line war caused a lot of noise in the court, and the two elders of the Xu family shook their heads and sighed every day.
Unlike other families, the Xu family attaches great importance to the education of their children, and sometimes even takes the initiative to ask their children's thoughts, so although Xu Yuyan is the daughter who has been taken home, she can also get front-line information anytime and anywhere, and occasionally give advice with her father and brother.
The situation became more and more urgent, and the imperial court decided to send 50,000 troops to Shandong to rescue.
Although Li Zhenwen hated Li Changhe's brazenness, he was Li Changhe's son after all, and when he learned that his father was in danger, he still took the initiative to ask for help and asked to lead troops.
The emperor considered it again and again, gave Li Zhenwen the title of deputy general, and set off on an auspicious day.
When Mrs. Li learned about this, she was happy and uncomfortable, happy that her son was finally saved, and uncomfortable was that there were no eyes on the battlefield, in case her grandson made a mistake again!
While the court is changing, Su Yi also regularly goes to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother to tell stories.
She is now a big celebrity in the palace, and the noblewoman has to let her three points when she sees her, and even the emperor's favorite Sun Guifei is polite to her, and when there is no one around, she also proposes to worship her sisters.
Su Yi thought to herself, which one in the harem is not your Sun Guifei's sister and sister, and it may not be that you show mercy when you tear them up?
So he decisively rejected Sun Guifei's suggestion.
Sun Guifei was actually also tempted, and after determining that Xu Yuyan was not interested in entering the palace to compete for favor, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
……
On this day, Su Yi came out of Cining Palace and was about to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, but saw Ai Xinshan running towards her accompanied by the slaves and maids of the Ai family dressed as palace maids.
Su Yi also has a little pity for Ai Xinshan, an unlucky child, and when she saw him coming, she reached out and touched his head: "What is the matter with the little boy looking for me?" ”
"I want to see my sister......"
Ai Xinshan sniffed and said, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time. ”
The slaves and maids behind Ai Xinshan also knelt down together and looked at Su Yi eagerly.
Su Yi smiled and said, "Little boy, your sister was left in the palace by the Queen Mother, if you want to see her, go to the Queen Mother, and look for me—"
"I've looked for the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother refuses to see me! ”
Ai Xinshan cried profusely: "They all say that the Queen Mother likes you very much now, as long as you open your mouth, you will agree to anything!" I'm begging you! Sister Yuyan, help me talk to the Queen Mother! I really miss my sister! ”
"Little boy, your sister ......"
"I know that my sister has done something bad, she is sorry for Sister Yuyan, but she is my sister after all......"
Ai Xinshan pleaded.
Ai Xinshan's maid also kowtowed and said, "Miss Xu, please help our little son!" The little boy is just a child, and the county lord should not be angry with him for the wrong things he has done! He just wants to see his sister! ”
"If you knew today, why did you ...... in the first place"
Su Yi smiled bitterly.
Looking at the child's reaction, he also knew that his maids and servants must not have told him the truth, but only vaguely hinted that his sister had done something wrong and was punished by the Queen Mother. He didn't know what his sister had done wrong, and he didn't know that with his sister's mistakes, being grounded in the palace was already a very light punishment.
