The many rivers and mountains in southern Xinjiang, coupled with the fact that it was full of all kinds of poisons that could not be prevented, caused the progress of Dayong's army to be extremely slow.

Even if Xiao Tingchen's 500,000-strong army opened the way, the next two months were only barely able to take a city.

Su Jiu has already taken care of his body.

It was early winter when I arrived in Qingcheng, because Qingcheng was close to the northern part of southern Xinjiang, so the temperature was much lower than that of Wangdu.

The luxurious wide warm sedan chair was heavily surrounded by the army and slowly stopped outside the city lord's mansion.

Su Jiu wrapped himself in a carmine fox fur cloak, and slowly got out of the carriage with Yan Yu's hand.

She is slim, more slender and tall than when she was a girl.

The circle of white fox fur on the cloak lined her little face with crystal clear, the skin that could be broken by blowing was like fine porcelain, her face was delicate and charming, and her whole body revealed a kind of graceful and natural grace.

When the embroidered shoes were about to step on the ground, Yan Kuo suddenly knelt down on one knee and supported her embroidered shoes with her palm.

Su Jiu curled a strand of broken hair from the corner of his forehead behind his ear, and glanced at Yan Yu with lowered eyes, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's snow on the ground, I'm afraid of staining your embroidered shoes." The man's voice was deep, and his narrow eyes turned to the Qingcheng City Lord who was waiting in front of the mansion, "Go and get a blanket." ”

The lord of the city was respectful and hurriedly called the maid to get the blanket.

The brand-new red carpet was rolled out from the front of the mansion all the way to Songzhuyuan.

Hundreds of maids respectfully lined up outside the Songzhu Garden, waiting for Su Jiu's arrival.

Su Jiu didn't squint, stepped into the bedroom of Songzhuyuan, and asked Grandma Ran to bring Ran Ran.

She poked the little guy's face with her fingers, and said lightly: "I heard that there is a dinner party in the house tonight?" ”

"Yes." Yan Yu sat next to her, "The Lord of Jiangcheng has been guarding Qingcheng for more than 20 years, and he has always been conscientious. This time, I heard that we were coming, and I cleaned up the mansion and courtyard very early. ”

Su Jiu smiled, "He's your person?" ”

"Yes." Yan Yu did not shy away from it, "He has military power in his hands, which is exactly what I needed back then." ”

Su Jiu nodded, "Then let's go to the banquet together." I'm a little tired, so I'll sleep with the baby first, and you can call me then. ”

The dormitory is ablaze with a dragon.

Luo Tent is warm, and Su Jiu sleeps sweetly with the baby.

Yan Yu sat on the edge of the couch and flipped through the books, turned a few pages, and couldn't help but look at them.

He reached out to pick up the broken hair on Su Jiu's face.

The girl's eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, and she is good-looking.

complained that Xiao Tingchen would like her, and even did not hesitate to personally take 500,000 soldiers and horses south to rob her......

He was silent, suppressed the jealousy in his heart, leaned over slightly, and gently dropped a kiss on her face like a thief.

He doesn't want the world, he just wants this girl.

If Xiao Tingchen has to rob him, then he will tell Xiao Tingchen to come and go!

The man's eyebrows were broken, and a touch of murderous intent appeared on his face, like a lion who had violated his territory.

At dusk, the City Lord's Mansion was already lively.

Everywhere is full of lights, and the maidservants dress in splendid clothes through the corridor and pass through the courtyard, and send wine and delicacies into the hall.

Hundreds of lights were burning in the hall, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras was endless, and the dancers were smiling like flowers, presenting the most beautiful dances for the guests.

Su Jiu and Yan Yu sat on the upper seat together.

She has never liked to be lively, so she only sits on the futon with her eyebrows lowered and eats vegetables.

Yan Yu personally removed the thorns on the smoked fish for her, and said in a low voice: "If you don't like it, let's go back to the house after eating." ”

Su Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the fan, "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for a while." ”

Yan Yu followed her line of sight and saw a young girl wearing a thin light gauze skirt, smiling and stepping into the threshold.

The dancers took the initiative to get out of the way, and the girls raised their water sleeves lightly, stepping on the music point and bending their waists to dance.

A smile is full of innocence, but those apricot eyes are affectionate and condensed from time to time to send autumn waves towards Yan Yu.

Jiang Chun, the city lord of Qingcheng at the next place, said with a smile: "This is the old man's youngest daughter, Dai'er, who grew up in the boudoir since she was a child, knows a few words, and can be regarded as knowing the rules and etiquette." If the emperor doesn't mind, Dai'er is very willing to sweep the courtyard and serve the emperor. ”

The courtiers in the remote areas of southern Xinjiang all thought that the emperor had the final say in the court, and the empress was just a puppet he supported.

So even if Su Jiu came in person, Jiang Chun didn't take her seriously, he even thought that Su Jiuming was the empress, but in fact she was just Yan Yu's plaything.

Yan Yu's face was slightly gloomy.

Yu Guang swept towards Su Jiu, she was taking a sip of wine, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, obviously smiling.

Fortunately, she wasn't angry.

Yan Yu was a little happy and a little unspeakably unwilling, and said lightly: "Master Jiang is afraid that he is drunk." ”

"The old minister is not drunk with a thousand cups, why should the emperor joke with the old minister?" Jiang Chun didn't notice Yan Yu's displeasure, and waved his big hand, "Dai'er, why don't you fill the emperor with wine?!" ”

Jiang Dai'er stepped forward shyly and timidly, knelt beside Yan Lu, and meekly filled him with wine.

The slender jade fingers picked up the wine cup, and she said coquettishly: "The courtiers have long heard that the prince Yushu is in the wind, both civil and military, and today I saw that it was so." The courtiers have admired the prince for a long time, and I hope that the prince will allow the courtiers to serve you. ”

Yan Yu frowned.

Su Jiu leaned into his ear, and his voice was soft: "It looks very well-behaved and beautiful, why don't you accept it?" ”

Yan Yu was even more displeased, his face was tense, and his thin lips were extremely cold.

Su Jiu seemed to find it funny, and couldn't help laughing.

She said softly, "I'll go see Ran Ran, you can eat something more...... By the way, I also cultivated my feelings. ”

She left the table smiling.

After she left, Jiang Dai'er became even more bold, and sat in Yan Yu's arms with a shy face, "Why doesn't the prince drink the wine toasted by the courtiers——"

Yan Yu got up.

He turned to Jiang Chun, and his tone was cold and hard, showing him no mercy at all, "Who is the person sitting on the throne now, do you know?" ”

"Clear, of course clear!" Jiang Chun smiled, "The prince deliberately put a woman on the throne and used her to control the court. In this way, the prince can not only control the power in the name of the name, but also will not be infamous for plotting to usurp the throne, the prince is really extremely smart——"

"Idiot." Yan Yu's body overflowed with fierce murderous aura, "Since I regard her as the king, I will respect her in this life!" Jiang Chun, no matter how smart you dare to be, don't blame this king's subordinates for being ruthless! ”

Coldly putting down these words, he walked away from the table.

The hall was silent.

Jiang Chun wiped the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead, a little inexplicable, "Respect Su wine?" Is she crazy or is there something wrong with my ears? ”

Jiang Xiaoling was unhappy, "Dad, the prince is so handsome, I don't care, I'm going to be his woman!" What kind of empress is that Su Jiu, although she looks good, she looks like an honest person, she doesn't even dare to say anything when she sits there eating, it's really unbelievable! I heard that she was brought back from outside by the first emperor, and she was used to living a hard life in the past, how could she be worthy of the prince with such a small family? ”

"Don't make any noise, let Daddy observe and observe......"

The father and daughter were combined, and on the other side, Yan Yu caught up with Su Jiu in the depths of the verandah.

He took the girl's thin wrist and pressed her viciously against the pillar.
