Compared with Chu Dakai's 300,000 defenders, the Xiao family's power is all over the world, and there are many generals who guard the border fortress, and they are not inferior to the Chu family in terms of soldiers and horses. However, this gap between strength and weakness is one thing, if it is really up to the Chu family, the Xiao family will have to weigh the price.

It's like the current Qin State, although it is stronger than the surrounding small countries, but it is still afraid of them, and even has to reward them with huge sums of money to appease them - they can fight, but they can't afford to fight.

And to Tuoba Hong's surprise, Chu Dakai had the courage to say such a thing. Knowing that it is inferior, he still refuses to back down - what Tuoba Hong needs is such a courageous capable minister, even if he doesn't have the ability to compete with the Xiao family, he can still suppress him, and he is capable.

"Chu Aiqing is really our Great Qin's capable minister." Tuoba Hong is more and more satisfied with Chu Dakai.

Chu Dakai did not have a trace of arrogance, and respectfully said something like "loyal to the country". The two talked for a while, and Chu Dakai retired.

sent Chu Dakai away, and Tuoba Hong took a fold in the Jianzhang Palace alone. Most of the excerpts these days are flattering and singing congratulatory words for the five princes, and the whole article is full of beautiful words. Tuoba Hong patiently looked at them one by one, picked out all the excerpts of this kind, and then looked at the rest—two were about the drought in northern Shaanxi, five were about the impeachment of Qizhou Taishou for corruption, and a few were about the turmoil in the north of Mongolia and the Xiongnu.

It's not easy to be an emperor, Tuoba Hong felt dazzled after watching it for a while, he slept too little these days, wandering all day long in the excitement of the birth of the fifth prince and the depression of the Xiao family's troubles, can you sleep well. In the end, he simply threw the fold, stood up and moved his muscles and bones, well, let's go to the harem to see Concubine Hui.

Tuoba Hong arrived at the Scarlet Building, but found that Lin Yuan was not there, and when he asked, he said that he was going to Changle Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace. Tuoba Hong remembered that Prime Minister Zuo had also run to Changle Palace, so he asked Yao Fusheng: "Is Prime Minister Zuo still in Changle Palace now?" ”

Although Tuoba Hong didn't pay attention to Prime Minister Zuo, the people around him have been keeping an eye on Prime Minister Zuo. Yao Fusheng bowed down and replied, "Prime Minister Zuo retired from Changle Palace a quarter of an hour ago, and it was just now. ”

Takubahiro touched the stubble on his chin, his brow furrowed slightly. I don't know what Xiao Yu's old fox said in front of the Queen Mother, it was only half an hour before and after, and he finished talking so quickly? Even if he knows each other, there is no way to entangle with the queen mother.

That's it, wait for the meeting to ask the Queen Mother herself. Tuoba Hong immediately ordered: "Drive the Changle Palace." ”

Although Changle Palace is luxurious, it is a widow's house after all, located in the northernmost part of the imperial city, and there is some distance from Jianzhang Palace and the East and West Palaces. The holy car was not fast or slow, and before he arrived at Changle Palace, the emperor actually met Lin Yuan on the way. Lin Yuan saw the emperor chasing after him, and was surprised for a moment, and then understood that the Prime Minister Zuo had just left Changle Palace. As usual, she stepped forward to greet with a smile on her face.

Lin Yuan's body has been six months old, she is petite, and her belly rises high through the wide palace clothes, which is very conspicuous. In fact, for men, a pregnant woman's figure is out of shape, which is really not beautiful. And those so-called husbands will feel extra distressed about pregnant wives, which is also unrealistic.

In modern times, the probability of a woman's husband cheating after pregnancy is much greater than usual, and this cannot be blamed on men, which is determined by the law of human evolution for millions of years - in primitive societies, if a man is interested in pregnant women and wastes precious reproductive time on pregnant women, he will only have no harvest and finally genetically extinction. And those men who go out to steal when their wives are pregnant will instead reap unexpected surprises such as illegitimate children, and the genes will be more powerfully transmitted.

It's just that men in modern society are constrained by morality and law, and they have a stronger sense of family responsibility, and they don't dare to offend their wives too much. But in ancient societies......

Lin Yuan looked at the man in front of him. After becoming pregnant, she worked harder than usual on her clothes and jewelry, and her figure was not beautiful, so she had to highlight her face. Later, when the child was five or six months old, his face was swollen and he had yellow spots. Lin Yuan was quite speechless about this, so he had to order the Shanggong Bureau to present the most expensive Jialan rouge from the Western Xia Kingdom, which was a flower shaped like a flame when it was in full bloom, and the essential oil extracted from it was made into rouge. Except for the gift of this thing to Changle Palace, the rest entered Lin Yuan's Scarlet Building, and the people next to him couldn't fight even if they were Concubine Jing.

Lin Yuan couldn't stand her face, even if she was pampered and arrogant, she had to let Tuoba Hong like it. Later, she remembered that when the concubine was pregnant, her appearance was still beautiful, and she hurriedly went to the Shanggong Bureau to inquire what kind of supplements the concubine had used at the beginning, and she used them all.

At this time, Tuoba Hong saw Lin Yuan, and only felt that her face was fair and delicate, her eyebrows and eyes were very delicately drawn, and her hair bun and clothes were even more eye-catching. He didn't feel a sense of turmoil in his heart, and then he came back to his senses, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to her: "Since you met Yuan'er, it's better to take a ride with me." You're too heavy to walk long distances. ”

Lin Yuan smiled lowly: "As a concubine, where can a concubine sit in the same holy car with the emperor." ”

"Yuan'er also wants to be more 'virtuous' than Ban Jieyu?" Tuoba Hong's outstretched hand did not retract, and said with a smile: "Yuan'er wants to be a virtuous concubine, but I don't want to be a Ming Jun today." ”

Lin Yuan just shirked slightly, and seeing that Tuoba Hong insisted, he smiled and reached out to hold his hand. If you are pregnant, there are always many privileges, such as sitting on the dragon chariot at this time, and you will not be caught.

"Where did Yuan'er go?" Tuoba asked casually. Listening to the palace people in the Scarlet Building, Lin Yuan went out half an hour ago, why is it still halfway here.

Lin Yuan smiled coquettishly: "Today, the jade beauty and Ge Jinzi in Shanglin Yuan are open, and the concubine is fascinated, so she stays there for a long time." ”

She did go to Shanglin Garden, but not to see the flowers.

Ye Guiji's Tinglan Xiaozhu is near the peony garden in Shanglin Garden, she used the excuse of enjoying the flowers to go and talk to the Ye family, and stayed in the peony garden for a while, so no one would suspect it.

Everyone in the palace knew that she and the Ye family were not compatible, and at first the two competed for favor with each other, and later because the Ye family defected to the queen, the two were even more discordant. Now that the Ye family has given birth to a prince, he is still a sturdy child and is highly valued by the emperor. The palace people said that Hui Concubine was very jealous of the five princes.

Since the illusion of "disagreement" was set at the beginning, Lin Yuan didn't want to break this now, making them think that they were hostile to the Ye family, and some things would be much easier to do - for example, the last time he calculated Queen Xiao, it would not be reminiscent of the two of them conspiring at all.

"Well, the weather is slowly getting hotter, and the scenery of Shanglin Yuan is always the most beautiful in summer." Tuoba Hong suddenly smiled and said, "If you like peonies, it is also feasible for me to transplant the flower beds in the Shanglin Garden into the Scarlet Building." It's just that the purple scarf is an ordinary variety, but the jade beauty is a must for the Western Regions, and I have long wanted to reward you. ”

Qianwu did not have the same rules as Taizu's meeting, in addition to the queen, the favored concubine could also grow peonies in the uterus room.

Good-looking and rich flowers, who doesn't like them, it's just that the jade beauty is too eye-catching. Lin Yuan held her chin, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The peony is too precious and squeamish, and I am afraid that it will kill a lot when it moves around." I heard that there are also some phalaenopsis in the Western Regions? I love that. ”

"Good!" Tuoba Hong is now responsive to Lin Yuan's requests, and immediately instructed Yao Fusheng: "Have you heard Niangniang's words, tomorrow I will move all the orchids in the Shanggong Bureau to the Scarlet Building." ”

Talking and laughing, I arrived at Changle Palace. After more than a month, the Zizhu Garden of Changle Palace was dug up three feet into the ground, not to mention those unclean things, even the insects and ants were swept away. If it weren't for the fact that Zizhu was expensive, it would be a pity to pull it out, and Tuoba Hong would not be able to raze this garden to the ground.

Changle is also in a good mood these days. Before the adoptive mother of the five princes was settled, the five princes could only be raised by her. Raising a child is a laborious thing, but the Queen Mother is happy.

When the emperor came in with Lin Yuan, the Queen Mother was holding a small drum with her own hand and playing with the five princes in the cradle car. Although the fifth prince is small, his voice is loud, and he can be heard crying "ahhh Tuoba Hong stepped forward with a smile and said, "The queen mother should also rest, she is always haunted by this little devil, but she doesn't panic." ”

The Queen Mother had a grandson, and she didn't even bother to look back at Tuoba Hong, she stretched out her hand to hold the delicate little fist of the fifth prince with a loving face: "I'm such a good grandson, while he's young, I love him so much." "King Zhao has always been by Shen's side when he was a child, and the Queen Mother has never brought him. And the queen mother doesn't like the Shen family, the concubine, and Queen Xiao very much, and she is afraid of the power behind King Zhao, even if she is her own grandson, there is a barrier.

And the current Five Princes are extraordinary. His biological mother Ye was pinched to death by the Queen Mother, this child is angry and strong, and in the eyes of the Queen Mother, he is the most precious baby bump.

The Queen Mother took care of the five princes, but she didn't notice that Lin Yuan was also coming over, and then she turned around and saw it. She looked at Lin Yuan's belly, and the smile in her eyebrows was even stronger: "Concubine Hui is also here!" Let's go, let's go to the inner room, and talk to the mourning family and the concubine. ”

Yes, with Lin Yuan, the Queen Mother can finally let go of the five princes. Tuoba Hong's mood at this time was also very happy, he had lived for thirty years, and he had never seen his mother so happy - his father and queen mother were in the queen's way, and he had survived for twenty years; Later, he ascended the throne, but he corrected his father's edict, which was equivalent to usurping the throne, and the people inside and outside the court were in turmoil, and the imperial power was unstable. The queen mother also dragged her old body to assist him.

Now the queen mother can finally be truly happy. With her favorite grandson, her political rival King Muwu was killed, and she saw a stable and peaceful future. Only the queen's affairs became the only trouble.

The Queen Mother has always liked Lin Yuan, and this time Lin Yuan came over, she gave a lot of supplements as usual, and bluntly said to Lin Yuan, "I want to give birth to a Lin'er like the five princes." Lin Yuan didn't dare to answer when she heard this, but just smiled gently.

What if an emperor is born? I'm afraid the Queen Mother doesn't look good on her face. Lin Yuan was really a little worried about this.

Lin Yuan's biggest strength is not that she is clever and quick-witted, but that she understands her identity. Even at the most beautiful time, she also understood that she was just a royal concubine, just a useful tool in the hands of the queen mother. If she doesn't do what the Queen Mother wants, she will be abandoned immediately.
