The border is full of displaced people, and the scorched corpses are all over the wilderness, but in the palace city is the red wall glazed tiles, gold beads and jade hairpins.

He Jingying leaned on the red-painted railing and held a small cup of bait in her hand. With her slender fingers, coated with Kodan, she sprinkled the bait from the small cup into the pond. The red carp immediately scrambled to grab food.

He Jingying smiled faintly, feeling that she was becoming more and more like a demon concubine.

A little bit of bait in the pool will crush a pool calmly. The biggest bait in the world is power. But the capital is peaceful.

He Jingying helped Bu Shao: "How is the situation at the border?" ”

Cao Jingzhao stood beside He Jingying with his head down, and the look on his face was not too good-looking: "The emperor's general has handed over the report to the Marquis of Xichang." ”

He Jingying's expression was very light, if she still had any illusions about Xiao Zhaoye, then she would be a complete fool.

"Is the emperor still eating the elixir made by the Heavenly Master?"

Cao Jingzhao shook his head: "The emperor hasn't summoned the Heavenly Master for many days. ”

He Jingying was a little surprised: "Why? ”

Cao Jingzhao smiled bitterly: "The emperor said that the elixir made by the Heavenly Master is not as effective as before, and the emperor has been taking Wushisan for the past few days. ”

Xiao Lian brought back the recipe for the Ring Immortal Jade Dew Pill and asked Ghost Face Lang Jun to make a new elixir to replace the previous Immortal Jade Dew Pill. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhaoye directly abandoned it and ate Wushi San instead.

He Jingying felt that she still underestimated Xiao Zhaoye. At least she and Xiao Lian had thought that they could change Xiao Zhaoye's decline to stop the decline of Great Qi.

He Jingying suddenly felt a little weak, and her eyes suddenly went dark. She stretched out her hand to hold on to the pillars, and it was hard to avoid falling.

Cao Jingzhao hurriedly helped He Jingying to sit down: "Niangniang, your body is important, can your subordinates call Imperial Doctor Shi here?" ”

He Jingying shook her head: "No, there is nothing wrong with this palace." ”

Cao Jingzhao looked at the person in front of him who said he was fine. Obviously she is already pregnant, but she is thinner than before.

He Jingying sat and rested for a while before relieving herself a little: "Jing Zhao, how is Mrs. Qi's side?" ”

"According to what you said, if there are homeless people who can't afford to eat, everything that can be saved will be saved. Mrs. Qi found a lot of Langzhong in the league and went to the Six Diseases Pavilion to see a doctor for the poor. Just ......"

He Jingying raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Cao Jingzhao. In fact, there is no need for Cao Jingzhao to say that He Jingying also knows that there are people from three religions and nine streams in the Fusang League, but they are just a pure heart gathered together, and their financial resources are far inferior to those chaebol families. Therefore, the number of people who can be treated is naturally limited.

He Jingying sighed: "If you can save one, it's one, the capital can't be chaotic anymore." ”

As he was talking, Xu Longju walked over from afar: "Queen Mother, Princess of the Great Wall and Princess Changle are here." ”

As soon as Xu Longju's words fell, he heard Xiao Fulin's crisp voice sound: "I haven't seen the queen for a long time, and I came to ask for a cup of tea today." ”

It's true that I haven't seen him for a long time, and after returning from Zhuyi, not only Xiao Fulin and Lian Yuan Geyu may not have seen each other for a long time.

He Jingying smiled and waved her hand, and asked Sui Lian to prepare tea and snacks: "The palace is not as comfortable as the palace, you can't come to visit the door from time to time." Why are you here together today? ”

"If you enter the palace to see your mother today, it's like the emperor has asked to see you."

Although He Jingying is now the queen of a country, she is actually controlled everywhere, and without Xiao Zhaoye's consent, she will not be able to see anyone. If Xiao Fulin hadn't gone to ask for the will, Yuan Geyu wouldn't have been able to enter.

Xiao Fulin and Yuan Geyu are still the same as the girls before. He Jingying always felt that life was the same as before when she saw the two of them. "Auntie, why are your eyes all blue? But didn't have a good rest? ”

Xiao Fulin glanced at Yuan Geyu teasingly: "She must be thinking about her Yunzong every day." ”

Yuan Geyu's round little face turned red, and she pushed Xiao Fulin: "You are used to making fun of me." ”

He Jingying said with a smile: "Originally, the emperor said that he wanted to marry Yunzong for you, but Yunzong kept filial piety, and I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the grievance of you within three years." ”

Yuan Geyu opened her round eyes and said, "What is this?" We Xianbei people don't pay attention to these things. ”

He Jingying paused when she heard her say this: "Now that Great Qi is at war with the Northern Wei Dynasty, aren't you worried about your people?" ”

Yuan Geyu frowned and said, "If you want to say that you are worried, you are always a little worried. Xianbei men are good at martial arts, which is different from Daqi. Yun Sect likes to read, and he always suffers on the battlefield. ”

Xiao Fulin glanced at Yuan Geyu: "Xianbei men are good martial arts, is my big Qi man weak?" ”

Yuan Geyu said seriously: "I'm telling the truth, there are a lot of Daqi men I have seen, and you can't fight." ”

Xiao Fulin said angrily: "Yuan Geyu, are you sincere?" ”

Yuan Geyu ignored her: "What I said is the truth. Whether it's Great Qi or Wei Guo, I won't be happy if anyone loses. Anyway, I'm not going to be happy when I start fighting. I only hope that the Yun Sect will be safe. ”

Yuan Geyu's openness and straightforwardness made He Jingying envious, if she could leave everything behind and live only for herself, she should be much happier.

But she can't, she's been in chains for too long.

He Jingying looked at Yuan Geyu and said softly: "You don't have to worry about Yunzong, General Long Xiang is strong in martial arts, he will protect Yunzong." ”

Yuan Geyu frowned and said, "I know that General Long Xiang is powerful, but the sword has no eyes on the battlefield." ”

Yuan Geyu's youngest daughter's mentality, thinking about Xiao Zilun wholeheartedly, made Xiao Fulin laugh for a while.

Yuan Geyu made Xiao Fulin blush, put the brocade box in his hand on the table and said embarrassedly: "You always laugh at me, I won't play with you anymore." I went to see Concubine Yunzong. ”

Xiao Fulin smiled even more meaningfully: "I haven't passed the door yet, but there is no shortage of daughter-in-law etiquette." ”

Yuan Geyu was so angry that she stomped her feet, shook her pigtails, and turned away.

He Jingying looked at Xiao Fulin with a smile: "What do you want to tell me alone?" ”

Xiao Fulin raised her eyebrows: "How do you know that I want to talk to you alone?" ”

He Jingying said with a smile: "You left you angry, and you said that you have nothing to tell me?" ”

"Actually, it's not me who has something to do, it's the Lord who sacrificed wine to ask me to come here, it's about the border."

Although Yuan Geyu is thinking about Xiao Zilun, after all, she and Xiao Zilun are not married, and she is still the princess of Changle in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Naturally, important matters of the military aircraft cannot be said in front of Yuan Geyu.

Xiao Fulin said: "Lord Sacrificial Wine wants me to tell you that General Long Xiang took twenty flying rope guards to Tuyuhun. ”

"What?!" He Jingying exclaimed.

"This General Long Xiang is really admirable, and he went deep into Tuguhun alone. If Tuyuhun can form an alliance with us, then the crisis on the border will be solved. ”

He Jingying only felt a heartbeat. How are the twenty people going to cross the snow-capped mountains and enter Tuyuhun? The lord of Tuyuhun, Fu Lianchou, had already said that he would not associate with Daqi, how could Xiao Lian persuade Fu Lianchou?

Xiao Fulin's heart was full of admiration for Xiao Lian, and she didn't feel He Jingying's worries at all. "If General Long Xiang can solve the border crisis in this way, how can he be named a fat cavalry general when he comes back, right? I think it's very likely that even if you are made a general. ”

He Jingying's face quickly turned cold: "When the time comes, I'm only afraid that the merit will be high." ”

Xiao Fulin frowned and said, "Not really, right?" Great Qi lacks this kind of general who can fight well. The Emperor ......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Fulin is not confident anymore, what has become of the Wang family and the Xidi lineage, although she does not participate in politics, she also sees it in her eyes.

He Jingying said solemnly: "This palace has one thing to do with the princess. ”

Xiao Fulin was stunned for a moment when she saw He Jingying being so serious: "Niangniang, please speak." ”

"Trouble the princess to bring a message to the Lord of the Sacrificial Wine, if General Long Xiang wins this time, please tell General Long Xiang that the Lord of the Wine will ask the general to defend the border pass and protect my people of Daqi, don't go back to Beijing."

Xiao Fulin nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, Niangniang, I will definitely bring this to Lord Sacrificial Wine." ”

After Xiao Fulin said goodbye to He Jingying, He Jingying called Sui Lian.

"Sui Lian, what is the emperor doing today?"

Sui Lian lowered her head and said, "The emperor went to Concubine Xu when he went down to court. ”

He Jingying smiled mockingly: "In the final analysis, Xu Peirong is more capable than this palace, and she can let the emperor go to her every day when she is pregnant." ”

Sui Lian said disdainfully: "It's not those dirty methods that are used, how can we compare to our mother's dignified and generous." ”

He Jingying gently floated the tea foam: "What dirty means?" ”

Sui Lian blushed and said, "Lord Xu has sent a lot of beautiful maids to Concubine Xu during this time. It is said that none of them are white. Xu Guifei has a big belly, can she still serve the emperor? ”

A hint of disgust flashed in He Jingying's eyes.

"Niangniang, Concubine Xu Guifei behaves like this, can you not tolerate her."

"Can't tolerate her?" He Jingying said sarcastically: "The phoenix seal is in the hands of the Queen Mother, and the palace can't even get out of Zhaoyang Palace, what can I do with her?" ”

Sui Lian said angrily: "Then let's go and tell the Queen Mother!" ”

He Jingying smiled lightly: "Do you think the Queen Mother doesn't know?" ”

Sui Lian exclaimed: "She acts like this, how can the Queen Mother ......?"

He Jingying said calmly: "The queen mother has a gentle temperament, but she refuses to go against the emperor's wishes." ”

"Niangniang, if you are willing to give the emperor a good face, you will not be cheaper than Concubine Xu."

He Jingying looked at Sui Lian quietly. Sui Lian was frightened by He Jingying's cold look. It was when He Jingying was staring at her that Sui Lian heard He Jingying say, "You are right. ”

seemed to agree with what Sui Lian said, but his tone was full of sighs.

He Jingying sighed again: "It's time to let the emperor come to Zhaoyang Palace." ”

Old love is the easiest thing to tease. No matter how good the new love is, it can't compare to the glimpse of the boyhood. He Jingying instructed: "Today on the fifteenth, the emperor will go to the Taihe Hall to offer incense." Go to the Taihe Hall and bring me some incense and candles. ”

Sui Lian said happily: "It's good that Niangniang is willing to reconcile with the emperor." The slave and maid went at once. ”

He Jingying rubbed the golden silk peony pattern on her shirt and said, "Wait, you go and bring the goose yellow shirt I used to wear." ”

Sui Lian was stunned: "Niang Niang wants to wear that old clothes?" But the emperor doesn't like the mother to dress too plainly. ”

He Jingying sneered: "That's not necessarily. ”

What Xiao Zhaoye likes is that she obeys him, and what he likes is that she is completely controlled by him. But when Xiao Zhaoye liked her at first, it was just because of a glimpse in front of the Buddha that made him feel warm.

For ten years, she accompanied this person through two lives. The only thing she cherished in her heart and allowed her to still remember Xiao Zhaoye was the moment her red hijab was lifted, and she found that the man who married her was the one who had a relationship in the broken temple.

The throbbing of a girl is always so simple. I always feel that everything is arranged by God, and everything is due to a fate.

When I grew up, I realized that those so-called love were just my own illusions, mixed with power and desire, and became no longer clean.

The only thing that is pure may be the first sight of that moment. Now she wants to use this scene to win the heart of the king, and finally let the only pure thoughts in her heart become dirty.

Changed out of the dress inlaid with gold and red silk and put on a goose-yellow girl's dress. This simple dress is incompatible with the entire extravagant Zhaoyang Palace, just like the past that can't be returned, no matter how much you dress like it, it's just Dong Shi Xiaofeng.

He Jingying looked at her pale face in the bronze mirror, and gently swept some rouge on her cheeks. At that time, she was like this, she didn't use powder, but she was still a bright girl.

But even if you wipe the rouge, it's hard to go back to the past. I don't know how long it took for her eyes to be no longer clear, and her slightly upturned eyetails were no longer delicate, always revealing fierceness.

I don't know how long it began, but there were fine marks on the ends of the eyes, and the cheeks were no longer full.

Her waist is also bulging because she is pregnant with Rokka, and she won't look like a girl no matter how you look at it.

If you don't go back to the past, it's hard to go back to the past.

He Jingying bowed in front of the Buddha statue and turned behind the Buddha statue. She tried her best to recall the original scene. At that time, not long after her father died, she was taken back to Xiaoshan Dongyuan by He Yin to live. On that day, she suddenly remembered the little friend she had been with in the streets, so she looked for it.

But where can I still find the slightest trace of those little friends at the beginning? When I was a child, I didn't feel much different from those poor children. When I grew up, I found that there was an insurmountable gap between the only daughter of the General's Mansion and the children of poor families, and even if I saw them on the street, I couldn't recognize them.

At that time, He Jingying went to the broken temple that she often went to on weekdays, and sat down behind the Buddha. At that time, she heard a man break into the ruined temple and kneel in front of the Buddha and weep bitterly.

At this time, He Jingying leaned on the back of the Buddha statue, and only heard that the door of the Buddha hall was pushed open.

It's just that no more teenagers rushed in and knelt in front of the Buddha and wept bitterly. Some just said with thin anger and mockery: "Isn't the queen mother worshipping the Buddha?" ”

He Jingying sighed, and there was despair in her eyes.

When Xiao Zhaoye heard that she was thinking of the Buddha for the first time, I am afraid that it was not the moment of first acquaintance, but the scene of her and Xiao Lian talking on the Xiangyun Palace.

He Jingying lowered her eyes and gently pulled out a trace of messy hair from her sideburns. She used to be a casual person, so she looked more like her former self.

He Jingying took a deep breath and turned out from behind the Buddha statue.

Against the sun, she couldn't see He Jingying's appearance clearly, she looked directly at Xiao Zhaoye's gaze and smiled lightly.

Xiao Zhaoye's breath stagnated, as if a memory hidden deep in his heart was awakened by a breeze. Xiao Zhaoye muttered, "A-Ying." ”

He Jingying raised her head and smiled lightly: "Why is the emperor here?" ”

"I heard that you are worshipping the Buddha, so I came to take a look."

He Jingying lowered her eyes respectfully and said: "I am a woman, I can't do anything, I can only pray for the emperor every day." ”

A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Zhaoye's eyes: "You pray for me?" ”

"Aren't all women in the world praying for their husbands?"

Rarely, a ray of tenderness crossed Xiao Zhaoye's ruthless eyes: "You are pregnant, just leave these things to your subordinates, and you don't have to do everything yourself." ”

He Jingying shook her head: "How can this be done?" If the heart is not sincere, will the Buddha blame it? ”

Xiao Zhaoye smiled heartily: "I don't blame it, how dare the Buddha blame." ”

He Jingying lowered her eyes and said, "The emperor hasn't eaten yet, right?" ”

Xiao Zhaoye said with a smile: "When the queen said this, I was really hungry." What is delicious here, Queen? ”

He Jingying said abruptly: "The concubine made a golden jujube and jade bean cake today. Would the emperor like to try it? ”

Xiao Zhaoye's eyes lit up: "It's been a long time since I've tasted the queen's craftsmanship." ”

Sui Lian obediently said: "Niangniang does it every day, today the emperor is finally here, and the slave maid will go to serve it to the emperor." ”

Hearing Sui Lian's words, Xiao Zhaoye was even more pleased, as if something had been lost and recovered.

During the banquet, He Jingying did not mention the court, did not advance the line, and did not mention the five stones in the harem. A pot of wine warm on the tandoor, a plate of candied jujube and jade bean cake, a few stacks of side dishes, a simple single meal, it is easy to make people believe in the warmth of the world.

Even people like Xiao Zhaoye who are cold have a warm heart.

He Jingying was pregnant, but in the end, Xiao Zhaoye still did not stay in Zhaoyang Palace.

Sui Lian regretted in her heart, and muttered: "Niangniang, why didn't you leave the emperor behind?" ”

He Jingying said a little tiredly: "It's enough for him to lift the grounding of the palace." ”

What Xiao Zhaoye loves, reads, and thinks about is just the heart of his youth. After a long time, it will only make Xiao Zhaoye see that all this is just an illusion, and the gains outweigh the losses.
