"Queen Mother-" In the evening, Kou Shu was taking the mandarin duck for a walk, when she suddenly heard a person's voice behind her. Turning his head, he saw that it was Bai Yao who was cleaning in the palace.

Seeing Kou Shu, Bai Yao stepped forward enthusiastically and saluted: "See the queen mother." ”

Bai Yao was originally the deputy general of his father Kou Yunwu, and after Kou Yunwu's death, it was thanks to Kou Shu that he was able to return to the DPRK and the Central Committee, because of the relationship between these two layers, both openly and secretly, Bai Yao was a little different from Kou Shu.

"Why is Commander Bai in the palace?" Kou Shu frowned, ordinary patrols, Bai Yao patrolled outside the palace gate, and there were naturally guards in the palace, and Bai Yao rarely entered the inner palace.

Bai Yao nodded and said to Kou Shu: "Empress Qiyu, the last general will come to the palace to find the emperor." ”

"Your Majesty?" Kou Shu raised her eyebrows: "But what kind of war happened at the border pass?" ”

Bai Yao waved his hand again and again: "The queen doesn't have to worry-"

After a pause, Bai Yao continued: "Hey, didn't a martial arts competition was held a few days ago, and a lot of talents emerged, and the emperor ordered me to train a few to take with me." ”

Kou Shu nodded, only to hear Bai Yao pat his chest and say: "It's just that the end of the next few days will be considered a good mission, and these boys around me are not bad, why don't you come to the emperor today to report to the emperor, do you want to see what the emperor needs to use?" ”

"Although the situation on the frontier is stable now," after a pause, Kou Shu continued: "But it is difficult to ensure the day when the war will break out again, and when the time comes, it will be the time for Commander Bai to show his skills." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he approached Kou Shu to look left and right, and then said: "Queen Mother, the last general will tell you the truth, and the last general really doesn't want to stay in this palace." ”

"Oh?"

Bai Yao saw that there was no one around, glanced at his mouth, and complained to Kou Shu: "The last general is a soldier, thinking about killing the enemy at the upper border and raising the prestige of our country, but now he is cowering in this capital, walking in the streets and alleys where ordinary people walk every day, day and night, it is really boring." ”

"Commander Bai said that," Kou Shu smiled and shook his head, "Guarding the Imperial City is an errand that no number of people can ask for. When it came to General Bai's mouth, it seemed like a chore. ”

Bai Yao rolled his eyes, obviously disagreeing with Kou Shu's words, as if he remembered something, Bai Yao changed his words and said: "However, Queen Mother, then again, the last general will not do well, and there is really a chance to go to the border to go to the battlefield," Speaking of this, Bai Yao's hand subconsciously put on the sword on his waist, the sword flashed in the sun, and it was very powerful: "Although Yang Qi did not have a major incident at the border pass, but in the recent two small battles, Yang Qi was defeated, and the voice of dissatisfaction with Yang Qi has gradually appeared in the army. ”

"Yang Qi is defeated?" Kou Shu was confused.

"Hey," Bai Yao sighed, and then said: "Yang Qi is much worse than General Kou, I don't know how much worse, now I can't just follow the cat and draw the tiger, learn the same way, and learn the layout of General Kou's troops back then, but this kind of thing, how can I learn it in one day or two, even if I learn it, I only roughly learned the skin, if the situation is repeated, Yang Qi will have no moves." ”

When Kou Shu heard this, her mind couldn't help but turn a few times. In the past few days, news has come from Mandarin Duck, saying that the Rong nobles in the palace are now running to the Ning Ci Hall every day, I am afraid that they are just thinking of finding another way out for themselves.

Bai Yao looked up at the sky, the time was almost up, and he bowed his hand slightly towards Kou Shu and said, "Queen Mother, there is still something to do in the end, so I will retire first." ”

Kou Shu nodded, raised her head slightly, and saw that the sunset was slowly setting, and the palace was shining bright red like fire.

In the Ningci Palace, Rong Guiren is bending over, copying the fly-headed small letters on the Buddhist scriptures word by word, the text of the scriptures is extremely fine, if it is an ordinary person, copying three or five lines will feel dizzy, but Rong Guiren is standing motionless for two hours.

Mama Meng looked at her coldly from the side, she didn't have a good impression of this high-flying nobleman in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that she was found out of her fake pregnancy, and her father's recent poor results in the frontier, how could she come to Ningci Palace to show favor to the Queen Mother.

But the Queen Mother obviously eats this set very much. In the past few years, the Queen Mother has believed in Buddhism, and her favorite is the person who is devout to the Buddha, but young people have always had a detached temperament, and there are few people who can recite Buddhist scriptures several times.

Rong Guiren has been standing for two hours, which obviously makes the Queen Mother very satisfied.

"Rong Guiren-" Mama Meng stepped forward, and said in a voice that was not salty or light: "The Queen Mother said that the time is not early, let you go over for dinner together." ”

Hearing this, Rong Guiren put down the pen in his hand and walked straight towards the front hall of Ningci Palace, without looking at Mama Meng at all, although he came to the palace to ask for the favor of the Queen Mother, but a subordinate like Mama Meng, he didn't need to give a good face.

Rong Guiren's eyes were arrogant, and he walked directly past Mama Meng's side.

Mama Meng sneered, deliberately slowed down a few steps, and followed behind Rong Guiren. walked to the front hall of Ningci Palace, but found that this hall was empty.

Mama Meng slapped her head at this time, and said as if she had just woken up from a big dream: "Oh, I'm an old fool, and I'm useless when I'm old-" Mama Meng continued: "The old body almost forgot, the Queen Mother said that I was eating in the study today." After that, looking at Rong Guiren, there was a bit of apology in his eyes, but in the eyes of Rong Guiren, this apology was more of a smug look.

"Mama Meng, you-"

Mama Meng shrugged, completely ignoring the anger of Rong Guiren, and said, "Niangniang, let's go to the study with the old body quickly, otherwise the Queen Mother will be in a hurry." ”

Rong Guiren's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but stomp on his heels of Mama Meng, but in his heart, he had already scolded Mama Meng hundreds of times.

Seeing Rong Guiren, the Queen Mother seemed to be in a good mood, and patted the seat next to her: "Come, sit." ”

Although it is not a formal banquet, being able to sit next to the Queen Mother is also a great reward, Rong Guiren couldn't help but be overjoyed, nodded again and again, and sat down next to the Queen Mother with a light step.

"Today's Buddhist scriptures have been copied?"

Rong Guiren nodded: "After returning to my mother, I have copied them all and put them on the Buddha Hall." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, according to the master's words, the Buddhist scriptures are to be copied by hand and enshrined in front of the Buddha statue.
