The flying dance of the concubine is over, followed by the chorus of several little concubines, without other characteristics, it is festive.

But in the case of the emperor's black face, how can he not be happy, those are all little girls who have just entered the palace, from before they just came to the stage, they felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and after they came to the stage, they saw the emperor's eyes, and there was a timid girl who cried directly on the stage.

Emperor Xuanwu was irritable, so he waved them down directly.

The little girls helped each other down, and they were all wronged, and they looked strange and pitiful, but at this time, let's take care of things first.

Yingxi's face darkened: "Palm lamp!" Lady, do you have anything to say? ”

Concubine Shu slowly came out of the ranks, woke up, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wearing similar clothes to the queen today, which is really not right, but the concubine is really unintentional, Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know that the queen will wear this dress today!" ”

Yingxi believes this sentence, this dress was prepared by her, if it leaks the news, it is a problem of the Qianqing Palace, and this move can be described as weird, is it just to humiliate the queen? Isn't this a thousand kills and eight hundred?

Emperor Xuanwu asked at this time: "Concubine Shu, it shouldn't be your idea for this palace to know about this, who made you wear this dress, you tell the truth." ”

When Concubine Shu heard this, she seemed a little frightened, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Back to the queen mother, this dress was selected by my maid Yunxi, and she is at the table." ”

Yingxi felt that something was wrong, Concubine Shu was rarely so docile, even if she felt that the emperor was there, it was not right.

The maid Yunxi hurriedly came out of the ranks, knelt down and began to cry: "The queen mother spares her life!" The slave maid bought it in Guiyunfang, and the shopkeeper said that this dress was the most in line with the temperament of the flying dance, so the slave and the maid bought it, and the slave and maid really didn't mean it! ”

Seeing that she was so frightened that she almost kept trembling, Yingxi felt that what she said should be true, and she also bought it over there, so it was a coincidence?

Yingxi asked again: "When did you go out of the palace to buy it?" ”

Yunxi trembled and said: "Slave, the slave maid was set ten days ago, and later, later let Gui Yunfang change some of it, and only got the ready-to-wear yesterday." ”

Concubine Shu followed and said: "Your Majesty, you are aware of everything, the concubine really didn't deliberately collide with the queen mother, the concubine was also shocked when she saw this dress early this morning, but the concubine has no spare dance clothes, so she can only wear this, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins." ”

This sentence is obviously false, according to Concubine Shu's character, seeing the queen wearing this, she must be happy in her heart, Yingxi rolled her eyes in her heart.

However, she dared to spread it like this, which means that Concubine Shu may really not know, so she dares to jump in front of the queen so unscrupulously.

Yingxi felt that this matter should indeed be an oolong, and just wanted to say something to play a round, he heard Emperor Xuanwu say: "Today's incident should be a misunderstanding, but it stands to reason that it is indeed a violation of the law of etiquette for the concubine and the queen to wear the same clothes, and the palace does not want to pursue it, but it must be punished." The palace will give you this dress tomorrow, hoping that you will remember your identity and act carefully. ”

Concubine Shu raised her head sharply and looked at the queen in disbelief, how dare she! Then he looked at the emperor, hoping that His Majesty could give a comment.

Of course, Yingxi was on Emperor Xuanwu's side, and she said righteously: "Concubine Shu, the queen has been generous and doesn't care, aren't you thankful for it?" ”

Concubine Shu clasped her hands and used all her strength to lower her head and thank Long En.

Where others couldn't see, Concubine Shu's eyes were full of hatred.

She retreated to her seat in a trance. The man's words echoed in his mind, lingering.

"The emperor actually doesn't like anyone, do you really think he will fall in love with you?"

"The Ji family is all lovers, once he falls in love with someone, no matter how many concubines he marries, that person is still the most important."

"You concubines are just a means for their husband and wife to adjust, one day they will be reconciled as before, and then you will be forced out of the palace!"

"I don't believe you can try to see if the queen will wear this dress this time, if you confirm that what I said is right, I hope you can fulfill your promise."

She knew that the queen would wear this dress today, so she asked Yunxi to go to Guiyunfang in advance to order this dress, just to see what the queen looked like, but as a result, His Majesty did his best to maintain it, and the queen's majesty was not damaged at all, but she was humiliated by the queen in public, and she had to thank her.

It's a shame, it's a shame, she, Xu Huiru, has never suffered such humiliation since she was a child. She entered the palace with a sense of love, not to be so humiliated.

Ji Xuanyu, since you are unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust.

Concubine Shu's eyes flashed with determination, and it was fleeting, but all this did not escape the concubine who had been observing her.

It seems that there is enough material to be harvested.

A thousand autumn banquet, although His Majesty accompanied him throughout the whole process, but after all, he lost interest.

Lan Ying served Emperor Xuanwu to change out of that gorgeous dress, and sighed in a very complicated mood.

Her tangled expression amused Emperor Xuanwu and asked, "Why are you sighing?" ”

Lan Ying grimaced and said, "This dress is so good-looking, it was personally selected by His Majesty, but I didn't expect it to end up in the hands of Concubine Shu." ”

Emperor Xuanwu said indifferently: "If it is just because it is chosen by His Majesty, there will be many gifts from His Majesty in the future." ”

Lan Ying looked at Emperor Xuanwu, her eyes full of distrust: "If you don't get angry with Your Majesty, the slave is the new you." ”

Emperor Xuanwu stopped talking, he didn't want to discuss his relationship with Yingxi with his maidservant.

The matter of clothes has a great impact, and at night, Yingxi is still annoyed, why did he choose the same clothes?

Emperor Xuanwu comforted her: "Actually, it's not exactly the same, Concubine Shu's clothes are obviously not as heavy as the one you sent, and they are not decorated with so many gold and silver threads. ”

Yingxi nodded, but was still unhappy: "I know, I just think that everything is perfect, and it turns out that you are unhappy because of this incident." ”

Emperor Xuanwu shook his head: "I'm not unhappy, it's you who is unhappy." ”

Yingxi looked at him: "Then are you happy?" ”

Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were gentle, and he touched Yingxi's face: "Happy, I'm very happy." ”

Yingxi smiled, and her mood finally improved: "Well, it's good if you're happy, let's rest, and I'll go to court tomorrow." ”

On the second day of the court, Yingxi waited for news that her father, Zhenguo Gong, was about to go on an expedition.

"First there was Zhenguo Gonghua Ru Yu often won, and now there is an enemy who has invaded the border with our DPRK. I made the town of the state of Hua Ru as a general of the Huji, and suppressed the enemy on my behalf. Lead 100,000 troops on the same day to protect the country! Chin this, thank you! ”

Yingxi took out the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago, and asked Zhang Zhong to recite it in front of hundreds of civil and military officials to show his morale.

"Thank you!" Zhenguo Gong was full of anger, straightened his back and knelt down to receive the order.

Yingxi was in a complicated mood, but he still had to say what he had to say: "The barbarians are menacing, and I hope that the general will be careful and return triumphantly!" ”

Zhenguo Gong: "The minister knows, Your Majesty does not have to worry, the minister will definitely return victorious." ”

Yingxi smiled trustingly, but she became more and more anxious in her heart, always feeling that this trip would not go so smoothly, but now she couldn't say anything, so she could only be silent.

The date of the expedition has been set, it is the fifth day of the first month of October, it is advisable to travel, avoid marriage, the sun is shining on the day, it is a rare warm day since the autumn.

Yingxi and Emperor Xuanwu saw off the army on the city wall, and the Duke of Zhenguo bowed in the direction of the emperor at the city gate. But his eyes were indeed locked on the shadow beside the emperor, which was the pearl in his palm that he couldn't rest assured of.

Going out for your father is also to win glory for you.

The two sides said goodbye, and Yingxi waited until he couldn't see the end of the line before turning to go down the tower. There was silence all the way, and Emperor Xuanwu wondered: "Zhenguo Gong has gone on three expeditions since you were born, why is it so sentimental?" ”

Yingxi couldn't say anything, she only felt that her chest was stuffy, and there was always some lingering uneasiness in her heart, she frowned and said: "I don't know either, but I'm always restless in my heart, and I have no reason to add to my worries." ”

Emperor Xuanwu comforted: "You can rest assured, since the beginning of the Zhenguo Gong, there have been no less than 100 large and small battles, and the contest with the barbarians has become commonplace, this trip will definitely be safe and sound, don't worry too much." ”

Yingxi sighed: "Alas, I know it too, but this kind of thing is not something I can control. Okay, don't talk about it, maybe just go back and see the twists. ”

Emperor Xuanwu himself would not comfort people, so he could only accompany her.

Father and daughter are connected, and when Yingxi feels that this trip is not going well, Zhenguo Gong also has a slight omen in his heart.

He knew that this trip was Yingxi's first battle after being made queen, and he must fight it beautifully, if he lost, even if His Majesty did not anger Yingxi, he himself would not be happy. There are miscellaneous things in his heart, and the town prince often wanders when discussing with the soldiers, and the commander is so uneasy that although his subordinates dare not say anything, they still beat the drum in their hearts.

The journey is far away, due to the large number of people, it is not a rush to march, the road is relatively stable, after the first few days, Zhenguo Gong is busy with military affairs, and gradually forgets the small troubles of the beginning, and resumes the vigorous and resolute behavior of the past, fortunately they are all old subordinates, do not care about the previous gaffe, everything is running well after entering the state.

The army walked for more than half a month before arriving at Jiuyuan, and after a few miles, I saw the people of Jiuyuan City walking outside the city in twos and threes.

Zhenguo Gong rode in front, and naturally saw the reluctance and panic on the faces of these people.

He sighed and said: "Every time a war breaks out at the border, it is the people who suffer. ”

The lieutenant general next to him was promoted from among the civilians, and when he heard this, he said: "These people who can go are quite wealthy merchants, they are duckweed, and they can settle anywhere, but the real suffering is the people who can't walk in the city, they have planted the land all their lives, and they have no savings, and if they leave now, they will really become homeless." ”

After hearing this, Zhenguo Gong said no more, and beat his horse to speed into the city.

His eldest son, Hua Yinghui, was the general of Dingyuan, who was the guard of Jiuyuan City, and was waiting at the gate of the city at the moment.

From a distance, Zhen Guogong saw the stupid son who was wearing a military uniform, holding a helmet, and waving vigorously.

He said secretly: It's not too young, but it's still so undignified. But the smile never fell. As soon as his legs clamped the horse's belly, Zhenguo Gong ran to the gate of the city first, and began to laugh when he got off the horse, and hugged his son.

Hahahaha's voice didn't stop until I saw my son, and it wasn't until I entered the conference hall of the General's Mansion that I finally quieted down and drank a sip of water.

Zhen Guogong rested for a while and asked, "How is the military situation now?" ”

The smile on the corner of Hua Yinghui's mouth fell, and he said seriously: "It's not optimistic, the local generals who led the troops this time are different from the previous barbarian leaders, and they have a bit of my Daqi's military methods." ”

Zhen Guogong's expression froze, and the initial uneasiness grew in his heart.
