The Northern Expedition was launched

"Zilong, are you really going?"

In the main account of the army, Zhao Yun asked for his own order to go on the Northern Expedition. Because he was pregnant in the summer and his mood was not very stable recently, Zhuge Liang's original intention was to let Zhao Yun stay in Kyoto this time.

"Yes."

Zhuge Liang sighed, stood up and waved the feather fan in his hand: "Actually, you don't have to be too yourself, this time I originally intended to train a new general, and that person is also a fierce general I just subdued-Jiang Wei." I know that you care about your family and country, but the return date of this Northern Expedition is difficult to determine, can you rest assured that you can get next summer? ”

Zhao Yun's eyes were firm, he clenched his fists, and said, "In the summer, I will take care of each other with my wife, and I will be able to rest assured." ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, "Okay then." ”

Zhao Yun can naturally follow the expedition, the person he trusts the most is Zhao Yun, and the most powerful general in the army is also Zhao Yun. When he goes, he can not only boost morale, but also teach experience to new generals.

But is he really relieved to go down the summer, or does he have his own plans.

The day of the expedition.

Xiang Xia and Huang Yueying were both wearing cloaks and came to see them off.

"Lord Kong Ming, you must be careful when you go to the battlefield. If you can't beat it, you can run, and it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened and glared at her, "The expedition for her husband is imminent, so I will say some unlucky words." ”

"Master Kong Ming, I can't bear you."

Huang Yueying hugged Zhuge Liang without scruples, and in front of all the generals, Zhuge Liang was rarely panicked, and he was at a loss for a while.

"Okay, I can't bear you either. I will come back as soon as possible. ”

"Let's talk about it, you can't deny it, and the baby listens."

"Yes, no denial."

……

Xiang Xia tilted his head sideways, looking at the warm and sweet farewell of the prime minister and Yueyue, and his nose was sour.

"Lady." Zhao Yun walked slowly towards her.

"Zilong."

"At home, my wife and I take care of each other, and if there is anything to do, discuss with my wife what to do, and you will write to me."

"Okay."

"Take good care of your body, don't let me worry outside."

"Okay."

She smiled and nodded, and said 'yes' in response.

Zhao Yun was still a little teary-eyed, he took a step closer to her and rubbed her silk, "Remember what you promised me, don't regret it." ”

Promise him something, let him think about it.

“…… Good. ”

Zhao Yun glanced at her lower abdomen, covered with a warm palm, and his eyes showed love.

"It looks like my belly is bigger."

"Hmm."

"Take care of our son and don't do anything stupid."

Zhao Yun hugged her and dropped a kiss on her forehead.

When Xiang Xia heard Zhao Yun's words, he was suddenly stunned.

Zhao Yun patted her on the back and let her go. He waved his robe and turned around, walking towards the night light, towards the thousands of horses and thousands of troops, and towards the journey ahead.

Xiang Xia looked at his back and gradually faded away.

Just as he was about to get on his horse, Xiang Xia suddenly ran towards him, "Zilong! ”

Zhao Yun paused, and as soon as he turned around, he was bumped into her arms.

"Why didn't you say 'wait for me to come back' this time......" she whimpered.

Zhao Yun chuckled, "Wait for me to come back, lady." ”

All the generals looked at this situation, and they were all a little stunned.

Zhao Yun drove the horse and slowly twitched the reins, grabbed his hand tightly to Xiaxia, and moved with the horse.

"Zilong, I'll wait for you to come back, I'll wait for you to come back at home."

"Good ......"

The army had entered, and Zhao Yun had no choice but to let go of her hand and run away.

Xiang Xia chased behind: "Zilong, I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you......"

Zhao Yun immediately glanced back at her, with a lot of unbearability and sadness in his eyes. At last he decided not to look at her again, and he faded away until he saw no more of the silver robe.

"You must come back safely." Crying and muttering to Summer.

Huang Yueying also chased after her, hugging her shoulders and leaning her head against her.

When the men set out on the march, they left a room of women waiting at home. Fortunately, the two babies were well-behaved and didn't bother them too much.

The two women are not idle people, and they will also find something to do for themselves. However, if you become a mother, you will be extra careful about your body. What they are looking for is not to go to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, or to go into the palace to talk to the juniors.

On this day, the two entered the palace as usual. still went straight to the queen's palace, and Xingcai was waiting at the palace gate early.

"See the Queen."

"Auntie, madam, how many times have you said it, you don't have to salute. You are all pregnant, and you have worked tirelessly to accompany me in the palace, which makes me ashamed in my heart. ”

Starlight eagerly took their hands and welcomed them in.

Xiang Xia said: "That's not good, the etiquette must be thoughtful." You are the queen of our Shu Han, if we don't behave in accordance with you, everyone in the palace will follow suit in the future, won't people laugh at you. ”

"Then you come, and I will drive them away."

Huang Yueying deliberately teased her, "That's not good, others will mistakenly think that we are planning and plotting something big." ”

"Why can't you do anything, it's really hard to be a queen."

"Well, don't listen to her scare you. Luoluo has lived in your palace for a long time, but it has caused you trouble? ”

"Auntie, don't worry, Luoluo didn't trouble me. She waited inside, saying that she hadn't seen you for a long time and missed you. ”

"Then let's go in quickly."

In the apse, the people put on snacks and sweet soup and then retreated.

"I heard that pregnant people are afraid of tea, so I replaced my aunt and wife with red dates and white fungus soup, you can taste it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, "Xingcai has a heart." ”

"Mother, it's been two months since my father went on the expedition, right?" Zhao Luo asked with a wink.

"It's been two months." Xiang Xia sighed, "The last time I went south to conquer, I only returned in two months, and I thought he came back early at that time, but now I ......"

Now that her belly was bulging day by day, she hoped that he would return soon. They are already five months pregnant, and they can't afford to put it off any longer.

There was a silence in the temple, and the women looked at each other helplessly.

They noticed that Xingcai's face was a little bad, and she was biting her lower lip, as if she wanted to speak.

"Constellation, what's wrong? Is there anything you want to say? ”

"Auntie, madam......" Xingcai glanced at them, "I heard from Your Majesty yesterday that the progress of this Northern Expedition does not seem to be very good. ”

"Oh, that's ......"

Both of them were intently focused, and their thoughts drifted away in a trance.

"It's okay, don't worry. Prime Minister He is unparalleled in resourcefulness, his father is brave and invincible, and we have both civil and military skills, and we will be able to return with a great victory. Zhao Luo said with relief.

Huang Yueyingqiang smiled and nodded, feeling that Xiang Xia next to her still looked solemn. She changed the topic and said, "Don't talk about this, by the way, Xingcai, how is your relationship with Your Majesty?" ”

Xingcai's face turned red, and she said shyly: "It's good......"

Xiang Xia was successfully attracted to attention, and she also asked, "Your Majesty, how is he treating you?" ”

"Naturally, it's excellent, and I'm very moved to see it." Zhao Luo hurriedly spoke.

"Luoluo, you ......"

Starlight snorted.

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "It's all my own family, there's nothing to be shy about." ”

"That'll be fine." Xiang Xia nodded, and asked, "Xingcai, what about your majesty." ”

The air was quiet again.

Xingcai's eyelashes flickered a few times, and she smiled faintly again: "Auntie, Your Majesty treats me well, and I naturally treat Your Majesty well." Xingcai does not dare to forget his current identity, Xingcai will do his best to assist His Majesty, and also live up to the expectations of the people in Shucheng. ”

"Okay, good constellation."

After they left, Starlight went to the attic of the palace.

"Niangniang, it's windy here, you can wear it." The maid tries to tie her cape, but Xingcai refuses.

She looked at the four square palaces, the red bricks and vermilion tiles, the Anjin carved willows, and the swallow ridges flying into the sky, and then remembered today's conversation, and her heart surged with feelings.

"I, Zhang Xingcai, inherited the order of my parents and uncle, married to His Majesty, and became the queen of Shucheng. This is my blessing and honor, and I will never forget my identity and mission. As the mother of a country, I Zhang Xingcai swear that I will serve and take care of Your Majesty, will take care of the people, will protect the safety of Shucheng, and will not disappoint my father and uncles under Huangquan. ”

Zhang Xingcai looked at the sky and said.

She clenched her fists, then slowly let go, "It's time for me to put it down, too." ”

I will not forget you, and even I will always remember you. I don't deceive myself, I just have to face it.

I remember your sassy demeanor and chic appearance on the battlefield, and I will not forget your lifelong ambition and loyalty to your family and country.

What you fail to do, I will do for you.

In the future, there will only be Zhang Xingcai, the queen of Shu, and there will be no Zhang Xingcai, the youngest daughter of the Zhang family.

Zhang Xingcai walked into the palace with her back back, she seemed to be the swallow who just wanted to soar to the sky.

No, that was ever.

Now she is not Feiyan, she is Shiyan. She is Shi Yan who wants to protect this royal city.

Soon there was a report of defeat, the Northern Expedition failed, the losses were heavy, and the army returned to Beijing in mourning.

Because of the defeat, there were not many people at the city gate to greet them. Before dawn, Xiang Xia and Huang Yueying went to wait at the city gate.

It was not until noon that he saw a soldier coming towards the city gate. The army marched slowly into the city, and the soldiers were all dragging their stumps as they went, and some of them were even covered with gauze, and red blood was oozing from the gauze, which made people tremble.

More than half of the army was over, but they were still not seen. The two glanced at each other, both worried.

Fortunately, after a while, he saw the prime minister's chariot, and Zhuge Liang seemed to expect them to be waiting here, and the carriage stopped next to them.

Zhuge Liang got out of the car from inside, "Madam." ”

"Master Kong Ming! You're finally back, and my baby and I have had to wait so hard. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, is everything okay?"

……

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xiang Xia dared to step forward and disturb: "Prime Minister, where is Zilong?" ”

Zhuge Liang frowned, his eyes flickered a little, and he said, "Zilong...... He's still behind. ”

Xiang Xia's heart sank, "Oh, then I'll go and look for him in the back." ”

So saying, she set out and walked out of the city gate.

"Alas, little lady......" Huang Yueying called out to her uneasily.

Xiang Xia ignored it, and when she was about to leave the city gate, the familiar figure came into her sight.
