When the lights are on.

The white-clothed maid raised her eyes again, measuring Princess Donghua's extremely unkind look, and Yiyangjun, who was leaning on the soft couch with a "dead skin and face", squeezed out of the tip of her nose with a disdainful cold snort, and was about to say two words to make Yiyang faceless, when she saw the princess stand up and put her hand on the maid: "The house is very stuffy, I want to go to the garden and let people put tea in the pavilion in the middle of the lake." ”

Bai Yi was about to keep up, but was stopped by Donghua and glanced at her: "Wait for Haoyijun." ”

It's like a bolt from the blue!

What do you mean? Yi Jun didn't look down on the two Teng concubines, and the princess was very dissatisfied with him, so she wanted Bai Yi to "wait", and wanted her to be Yi Jun's concubine?

In Xiliang, only the three surnames of the royal family can enjoy the white-clothed maids, these women themselves are mostly noble-born ladies, but they also look noble, because the noble descendants are still very few willing to be sent, most of them are concubines, ordinary nobles can not accept concubines, but it does not mean that there are no concubines, but the concubines have no status at all, and the children of the concubines are actually equivalent to subordinates in the family, and some are even worse than stewards.

Among the concubines, there are those with outstanding appearances, most of whom are selected as sex offerings, and their fate is to become concubines with three surnames, and it is difficult to have a bright future in their lives.

In comparison, the selection of white-clothed maids is a way out, they have received cultural, educational and martial arts training since childhood, when the service period expires, it is very likely to be married to the children of small nobles, and some of them are also selected as harems, although they are not the queen, the palace concubines are different from ordinary concubines, and they are also honored.

This white-clothed maid originally belonged to the Qing family, she didn't even look down on the eldest son of Lanjiang Gong, and she was unwilling to commit herself to the concubine, how could she look down on Yiyangjun, who was deeply jealous of Lanjiang Gong?

So it didn't take long for Yi Yangjun to be so angry that Bai Yi was like thunder, slapped him down, and then went to the garden to complain to his wife, Princess Donghua, with an anxious face.

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, An Jin leaned on the chaise longue, listening to the faint sound of the music girls playing across the water, but she was sad.

She had already heard about Yijing's abduction from the shopkeeper of Yanzilou, and was sure that the person she saw that day was not Qianpan, but her sister-in-law.

The shopkeeper said that the prince was already thinking of a way, and the reason why he hid it from her was that he expected that the prince would keep a close eye on her and would not let her contact Yijing alone.

But An Jin remembered the situation that day, and her heart was very uneasy.

With her sister-in-law's temperament, how can she call herself Qianpan, she shouldn't be willing to be coerced by the Maharaja, and the act of pouring tea with her hands is not like what her sister-in-law can do, and besides, her sister-in-law looks at her as if she is looking at a stranger, if she is pretending to be in front of Jiyu, when Jiyu leaves, why doesn't her sister-in-law recognize her, but leave closely?

The shopkeeper conveyed the instructions of the prince to let An Jin stand still for the time being, and not to interfere.

An Jin really couldn't feel at ease, and she couldn't go to the Dajun's Mansion to ask Yijing again, but she also knew that it was useless, and her sister-in-law's actions that day were obviously an accident that she couldn't predict.

An Jin could only repair a letter and send it back to Jinyang, wanting to inquire about the eldest brother's arrangements.

She also understands that this matter is important, and a negligence may cause irreparable consequences, and her sister-in-law was taken captive in the first month, and it is already late April, such a long time...... If it is an ordinary nobleman, as long as the family does not pursue it and ignores the gossip outside, no one can force him to stop his wife and marry another person on the suspicion of "losing his virginity", just like the incident of Huang Tao's wife Jiang back then, as long as Huang Tao can resist the pressure of the family, the Jiang family will not be abandoned.

But the eldest brother is different, it is a clan, and it is related to the reputation of the royal family, if the heavenly family wants to pursue it, it will naturally be more thunderous than ordinary families, and it is not a matter that can be ended by removing the clan.

If the first emperor was in power, with his faith in Su and Chu, he might have turned this matter around, but the current Emperor Dalong was very jealous of the two mansions and would not let it go easily.

An Jin remembered the Maharaja's threatening words that day and sighed heavily.

She even concealed this matter from the maidservants around her, these people are all from the Dalong Palace, although they are loyal to her, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be the eyes and ears of the current Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and now An Jin does not know the Empress Dowager's attitude towards this matter, of course, it is impossible to leak it.

She saw Yiyang coming from the bridge porch with a solemn face, sat up slightly straight, and waved the maid away.

Only when the two of them got along, Yi Yang immediately eased his expression, of course, he didn't mention how the white-clothed maid was presumptuous just now.

An Jin was still a little absent-minded, she hadn't made up her mind yet, and she didn't know whether she should tell Yiyang about Yijing.

"Something?" Yiyang said with concern.

They are in the Huxin Pavilion, the advantage is that the wind is open on all sides, and there is no need to worry about the wall having ears when speaking, but the disadvantage is that they can't prevent people's eyes, so Yiyangjun's behavior can't be too close, the more he is at odds with the princess, the more the Qing clan will rest assured, and they will not do anything to assassinate the princess.

Obviously a harmonious couple, but they want to pretend to be full of contradictions, Yi Yangjun said that he was very dissatisfied with such a state of life, but although he was anxious in his heart, he still couldn't help the tenderness in his eyes when facing An Jin.

An Jin avoided his gaze, held up the teacup, and slowly took a sip, and then bowed: "Jiyu was humiliated in the Dajun Mansion, but I am afraid that I will not give up, and my father and uncle will not dare to trouble me, I am afraid that it will embarrass you." ”

An Jin originally wanted to inquire about what the Qing family would do next, she was worried that Ji Yu would be unfavorable to her sister-in-law, although there was a princess to maintain it, the Qing family did not dare to use force, but if this matter was publicized in the palace...... The king and queen of Xiliang intend to let the prince marry Jin Yuan, can they tolerate such a flamboyant "favorite concubine" in the Maharaja's mansion? If the palace is pursued, it will be difficult for the Maharaja to be saved.

"Don't worry, this matter is Jiyu's arrogance, offending the Maharaja, and being insulted by a concubine, it is she who has no face when she goes out, and the Qing family still wants to marry the Maharaja, so she can only suffer this dumb loss, but it is just to blame me for a few words, I have long been accustomed to it." Yi Yangjun disagreed, but the smile on the corner of his lips was extremely gentle: "Don't worry about me." ”

Hearing Yiyang use the word "concubine" to describe the beautiful scene, An Jin's heart tightened again, and indignant emotions arose spontaneously - if it wasn't for the Lord's forced abduction, how could her sister-in-law fall to such a point? At present, when the people of Xiliang mention "Qianpan", they are not dissatisfied with sarcasm, and those slanderous and insulting words are really ugly.

"Whether it's the Qing family or the Hu family, the marriage is just a fool's dream." It was easy for An Jin to restrain his emotions and said slowly: "I'm worried that Jin Yuan will feel bad when he hears the rumors, in my opinion...... The Maharaja's treatment of Qianpan Niangzi is indeed extraordinary and very maintained. When it came to the word Qianpan, An Jin's eyes were cold and he couldn't bear it.

Yiyang only thought that his wife was worried about Princess Jin Yuan, and did not suspect anything else: "Her Royal Highness the princess is not so small-bellied, and the princess is by no means a mischief, now that the favored concubine is famous, the prince can delay the marriage, first stabilize the two families, and then try to abolish the political council, so His Majesty and the queen ignored the rumors, and the princess didn't take it to heart, and watched how Hu and Qing tossed." ”

In Yiyang's mind, he didn't take a concubine in his eyes, and in the education of the nobles with the three surnames, the concubines were just playthings or tools, and naturally no one gave up their power for them.

The matter is not as simple as Yi Jun thought, An Jin looked at Yiyang for a while, after all, she didn't tell the truth, she had to wait for the eldest brother's signal to know what should happen next, for the sake of everything, this matter should be concealed for the time being.

"At the moment, my father can't take care of other things for the time being." Yiyang suddenly said: "Chengye and Dongzheng are at odds with each other, and Xiliang mediates and signs an armistice, but I don't know that Chengye secretly colluded with Beiyuan to raid Dongzheng, Dongzheng has been occupied by Beiyuan, and now Beiyuan is at war with Chengye, and wants to annex it in one bite, and the political council has agreed to send troops, but the dispute over who will lead the general order to crusade." ”

"Of course, the Qing clan will not let the Hu clan come out." An Jin said.

Yiyang smiled: "The Great Monarch has asked for orders to go on the expedition." ”

"Maharaja?" An Jin couldn't help but get nervous: "The two families are planning to marry the Maharaja at this time, and they will not object. ”

If the Maharaja leads an expedition, will there be a chance to see his sister-in-law again?

"A political meeting will be formally convened tomorrow to decide on this matter, but there will be no other result." Yiyang bowed his head: "The monarch will be able to receive the general's order, as for the deputy general of the expedition, I want to come to the Hu and Qing families will not give up, my eldest brother is bound to win, and strive for this opportunity to assist the monarch to make military achievements." ”

At the same time, the study room of the Maharaja's Mansion was also brightly lit, and the subordinate officials and staff members gathered together, and the discussion was naturally about the conquest.

Wearing a crow blue brocade robe embroidered with tulips on the nobleman sat firmly on the top, the battle map was open on the big case in front of him, he put one hand on the handle of the chair carved with the beast's mouth, and the other hand slowly stroked the angular chin, black eyebrows flew obliquely, the corners of the eyes were slightly raised, and his eyes were dull, and he seemed to listen very carefully to the analysis of the battle situation by the subordinate officers.

Sitting in the corner, there was a man in red, who had been playing with jade ornaments in his hand, and his cold gaze swept over a staff member who was making a generous statement, and when he heard him talk about how Chunjiang Jun, the eldest son of the Lanjiang Gong, was brave and good at fighting, the corners of his lips slanted slightly.

Since the Hu and Qing families woke up and put the servant women in the Dajun Mansion had no practical effect, they turned to work the staff and subordinate officials, and at this time strongly recommended Chunjiangjun, who is naturally subordinate to the Qing family, and the subordinate official just now, recommended the Hu family's sister-in-law, it is reported...... The daughter of this subordinate official had recently married the son of a henchman of the Hu family.

Kong Xilin secretly sneered, what he could master, naturally he couldn't hide it from the monarch, these two can be regarded as wasted efforts, the monarch has the intention to abolish the political council, how can he give the two surnames the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Therefore, when Kong Xiaowu saw the Maharaja bowing his head slightly, and very sincerely promised that he would consider it carefully, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and mourned in silence for the two ears and eyes who left with hope.

When everyone said goodbye and the study returned to quiet, Kong Xilin flicked his robe and stood in the corner and walked to the big case.

"Your Highness, about the selection of the deputy general......

"Those two people who recommended them just now are really good." The Maharaja's fingertips swiped across the battle map and tapped it twice vigorously somewhere.

Kong Xilin was dumbfounded: "Your Highness knows that those two people are Hu and Qing's ears!" ”

"They want to make meritorious service and curry favor with me, and they are bound to do their best to win, Chunjiangjun is a fierce general, and the Hu family is the ...... It's not a waste of fame, with them in front of them to conquer the two alliances, the Western Liang army will win. The Maharaja chuckled.

"But the Lord, if you let Hu and Qing make meritorious contributions, it will not be conducive to abolishing the political council in the future."

"On the battlefield, no one has ever done anything." The monarch glanced at Kong Xilin, who was full of disbelief: "Moreover, it is indeed the responsibility of a courtier to make contributions to the country, and those who are in a high position cannot ignore military affairs as child's play in order to suppress dissidents." ”

Xue Dongchang on the side interjected: "Your Highness wants to hand over the two alliances to Hu and Qing to conquer, and you will lead troops to raid the border of the Northern Plains and annex these two counties?" He had been paying attention to the Maharaja's fingertips circled on the battle map, and his blood was boiling at this time.

Dajun was very satisfied, and patted Xue Dongchang on the shoulder: "In the matter of military warfare, Dongchang is really good at it. But suddenly the case was slapped, and the monarch's eyes were blazing: "Two counties? Dongchang still underestimates me too much, this time, I want to let the south of Haojing Mountain belong to the territory of Xiliang! ”

Annexation of the six counties of Haojing!

Xue Dongchang was dumbfounded, but Kong Xilin was full of doubts: "Your Highness is going to fight head-on with Beiyuan?" But this time, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are more than 100,000 guards in the six counties......"

The Mahjun didn't explain, but just smiled confidently: "Little Wu, just wait and see, Your Majesty has failed to conquer the six counties of Haojing after ten years, and I will let this city be planted with the battle flag of my Xiliang." ”

Kong Xilin is self-aware, he can still give the prince some ideas in terms of conspiracy and tricks, but he has no understanding of the conquest and capture of the city, but as far as he understands the king, once he decides to do something, there is no way to fall back, so naturally there is no question.

The prince glanced at Xue Dongchang, who was surging and couldn't go on the expedition immediately, and said a sentence that made Brother Dongchang's five thunders thunder-
