Hearing the words "Royal Driving and Expedition", Min'er's original heart of looking forward to the trip was gone, and when the Queen Mother was worried about why she was going to fight again, she still looked at the problem calmly, and at this moment she heard that Xiang Ye was going to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, and her heart was touched.

And this pull made her realize very clearly that she was no longer "coping" with the emperor.

"Put your bags away." Min'er instructed Qingya, "Prepare pen and ink, after the emperor sets out on the expedition, I will no longer write letters to my grandmother." ”

Qingya responded, and instructed the palace people to put away the clothes that had been packed, she went to prepare the pen and ink in person, and then saw the queen sitting quietly at the table to write letters, and she couldn't see any emotional changes, but she knew that the queen was looking forward to going to Pingshan these days, even if it wasn't because of the emperor, after all, the days in this palace were too boring.

From this day to the night, there is no accurate statement on whether the emperor will drive the expedition in person, in other words, it is not yet decided, but Xiang Ye first revealed it to Min'er, so most of them are going to make the trip.

In the middle of the night, the brightly lit Shangyang Hall is still dazzling, standing quietly and nobly on the Taiye Pool. When the emperor walked on the approach bridge, he couldn't help but stop and watch, he seemed to have begun to fade, this Shangyang Palace was built for Ruoyao, is it that one day, he will really forget Ruoyao?

"Your Majesty?" Zhou Huai held the glass lamp and reminded the emperor softly.

"Let's go." Xiang Ye responded, striding towards the Shangyang Palace, the front of the hall was as bright as day, he just walked in, Min'er appeared in front of him, his heart was hot, stepped forward to hold the person who wanted to salute, and said gently, "It's so late, you should go to bed early." ”

Min'er didn't speak, silently followed the emperor into the door, at this time the lights of the Shangyang Hall gradually went out, and now the people in the palace have learned to look at the light on the Taiye Pool from a distance to judge whether the emperor went to see the queen, naturally at this moment, everyone should be in peace.

After entering the hall, Xiang Ye saw Min'er and Qingya preparing a hot water bath for him, stretched his body and immersed himself in the hot water, sweeping away the tiredness of the whole day. It's just that Min'er didn't stay with her, she was outside through the screen, Xiang Ye wanted to call her in, but when she thought about things, she was distracted when she thought about it, but Min'er reminded him outside: "Your Majesty, I've been dizzy after soaking for too long." ”

He said lazily, "That's it." ”

The hot bath invigorates the blood and relaxes the muscles, and drowsiness is overwhelming, Xiang Ye leaned on the head of the bed and fell asleep, suddenly a cold and soft hand stroked his forehead, he opened his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "What to do?" ”

But Min'er gently pushed down the emperor, pulled off the high pillow behind him, knelt beside him and covered the quilt for him, Xiang Ye was frowning, and saw that she also lay down and got into her own quilt.

"I can't go to Pingshan, I will ...... the day after tomorrow"

"Your Majesty, I'm sleepy." Min'er moved her body and found the most comfortable position beside the emperor, she had always slept very well, not to mention that now, she had a solid and strong support.

The delicate hair exudes a tranquil fragrance, and the soft body warms Xiang Ye's heart, the sleepiness has never dissipated, this time, the limbs and bones are loose, and the eyelids are slightly closed, and they fall into a dream in an instant.

Nestled beside the emperor and hearing his steady breathing, Min'er was relieved.

The next day, the emperor of Ryoma was majestic, and the court made a decision that he would lead his troops to conquer Qiangshuiguan.

At that time, the six palaces all gathered in the Longevity Palace to wait for news, when this will came, the concubines all showed nervous expressions, and the concubine was finally able to hold on a little calm, and she quietly glanced at the queen, the light face was not shocked, and there was no emotion.

After a long time, Concubine Shu gradually admired Min'er from the beginning, she was at the age of the queen, no, should it be said that until now, she still puts everything on her face. The queen's calmness, even if it is pretended, the kung fu is really at home.

At this time, the Queen Mother coughed lightly, and the hall suddenly quieted down, and the Queen Mother said: "Most of you are from the Kishu Palace, how did we come back then, now it is a hundred times stronger than before, there is nothing to panic about." On the day of the emperor's expedition, you can each listen to music and watch dramas if you like, just don't make trouble, don't make jokes, that's enough. If anyone is intent on causing trouble, I will not care about your decency. ”

Everyone bowed their heads and said yes, and the Queen Mother instructed Concubine Shu: "They are all young people, it is inevitable that they will have a lively mind, you have to bother to control the six palaces, and when the emperor comes back, everything is too peaceful, I naturally want to mention your credit." ”

Concubine Shu received the order, but everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at the queen, it was clear that she was the middle palace and the mistress of the imperial city, why did the queen mother hand over the power to Concubine Shu in public? But the queen's face could never tell what she was thinking, and the women had to withdraw their gaze.

Naturally, the Queen Mother would do this, and Min'er asked her so in advance. The emperor went on the expedition, the peace of the family was the most important, and given enough dignity to the concubine, this palace would inevitably stop, as for whether the concubines and palace people put her in their eyes, they didn't care before, but now they are thinking about doing something for the emperor, but it is valuable.

When everyone dispersed, the queen went first, and everyone saw that she was going to Qingming Pavilion all the way.

Speaking of which, Min'er has never set foot in the Qingming Pavilion, although in Qingya's narrative has been imagined, but I can see it with my own eyes, only to understand why Qingya admires the emperor so much, the main hall of the Qingming Pavilion was directly moved by the emperor as a study, and the bookcases on both sides are densely arranged, Min'er is afraid that he will not be able to finish reading in his life, but the emperor said to Min'er that he is not good at writing ugly and reading, and the ugly words are true, but reading is not good......

"I heard Zhou Huai say that you want to come and see me, I thought the sun was coming out in the west." The war was imminent, but the emperor smiled easily, walked out of the bookshelf, took a stack of books in his hand, put them on the table, called Zhou Huai, pointed and said, "Pack it up, I will take it away." ”

Min'er asked, "Can the concubines do anything for the emperor?" ”

Xiang Ye thought for a while and said, "The jade bone fan I used to have is gone, and now I am going to fight, holding a sword in my hand, I can be calm all the time." But when he returns triumphantly and has to put down his sword, he must be uncomfortable again. When I was at home, you picked a good piece of jade for me to make a bone, and asked the craftsman to make another fan, and when I came back, I saw you and the fan again, and I was satisfied to think about it. ”

Min'er's heart trembled, if the emperor knew that she threw the fan into the liquid pool, would he throw her down himself, but he was definitely more important than a fan, and Qiu Min'er still had this confidence.

"The concubine wrote it down." As she spoke, she took the emperor's hand and compared it to the size of the emperor with her own hand, as if to determine how big a fan to make for the emperor.

"Are you serious?" Xiang Ye smiled.

Min'er looked at him suspiciously, but the emperor kissed her on the forehead: "You don't have to do anything, just wait for me to come back." ”

They didn't say anything last night, but Xiang Ye got the most comfortable peace by Min'er's side, and he was able to drive the expedition with such a gentle mood, but he was afraid that he would be more merciful when he killed: "I will come back soon, and I will use the bones and hair of the Nanban leader to make you a pen, and I will use it to write a letter to my grandmother later." ”

Min'er smiled awkwardly, was the emperor trying to scare her to death? This appearance naturally made Xiang Ye laugh, she pouted slightly, but immediately said, "Your Majesty, take care of everything." ”

Xiang Ye said confidently: "Qin Zhuang will go to Qiangshui Pass with me, the capital is guarded by Shen Zhe, you don't have to worry about anything, there will be no chaos in this world." As for your father, Qiu Zhenyu's old thing is even less to fear, and he will wait for me to come back with peace of mind. ”

After that, Min'er accompanied the emperor to shuttle between the bookshelves, this is the emperor's holy place and forbidden place, others can not easily enter, choose the basic war book that is conducive to war, Min'er personally put it into the box for him, they talked for a long time in the Qingming Pavilion before they went to see the queen mother together.

Naturally, there is nothing to do with Concubine Shu, and there is nothing to do with other women, but the queen, as the middle palace, seems to have exclusive access to the emperor, but Concubine Shu's position is embarrassing. After all, in the past, all this belonged to her, and the boots that were sent to the front line to wear for the emperor in those seven years of war were all made by Concubine Shu herself, but now, those hard work have all dissipated with the smoke of gunpowder.

Soon, the news spread throughout the capital and even the whole country that the emperor was going to conquer the Qiangshui Pass, and the emperor's move was also to let the people understand that the new monarch had the courage to protect the country and the people, so that they would be determined to submit to the Xiang dynasty.

What's more important is to let those old ministers of Zhao State open their eyes, don't think that after three years, the emperor is greedy for comfort and can't fight, and can allow their immortality to move.

On the same day, the Zhao family came to Princess Huiyi's mansion again, Zhou Jue had just come back from the study, and was complaining to her mother: "The queen mother said that you don't have to go to the palace to study these days, mother, do you say that the queen mother deliberately dislikes me, and will no longer call me to go in a few days?" ”

Zhao was listening, and he could understand without thinking about it, the Queen Mother didn't want anything to happen in the palace, so naturally she could turn a blind eye on weekdays, and at a critical moment, she still had to get these troubles out.

Huiyi coaxed her son to eat snacks and sneered at Zhao: "You see, orphans and widows are excluded everywhere. The emperor was at war, and my son couldn't even read. ”

Zhao smiled coldly: "But the Queen Mother didn't say it, you can't go and ask for peace." Princess, Shen Zhe this time, what a good opportunity to stay in the capital. ”

Huiyi raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "What, Madam has an idea, why do you hate the queen so much, and you are not afraid that your prime minister will turn his face with you." In my opinion, Prime Minister, you are still waiting for this daughter to be your backer. ”

Zhao sneered: "Backer? If the mountain doesn't crush him, it's his life. ”
