Yuehua lives a simple life, sits on the couch to embroider in his spare time, sits for a long time, people don't have to wait, they are busy with their own errands, they gather together in groups to chat a few words. That Qiao Zhu was arrogant and disdained to take care of other palace people in the palace, but he often mingled with those little eunuchs, and listened to a few little eunuchs praising her, and her words and deeds were a little Meng Lang.

Although Yuehua doesn't treat people harshly, she is not unruly, and she looks a little unsightly.

"Queen Mother, according to the slave maid, you might as well find an excuse and send her to be a vegetable with the eunuch, which not only fulfills the wish of the hoof, but also avoids the disaster." Xiang Shen sighed and spoke.

Being a vegetable or eating right, the palace can't help it, and it has been there for a long time. Palace maids and palace maids, palace maids and eunuchs, as long as their masters nod, they can live together, and they will have a care for the rest of their lives, and they will not be too lonely and lonely in this Forbidden City.

I heard that there was a concubine in the previous dynasty, in order to win over the eunuch in the worship room, so as to make a trick on the green-headed brand, she rewarded a palace maid in front of her to the eunuch as a vegetable household. It's just that the eunuchs in the worship room are in charge of the emperor's clouds and rain every day, and they are the most obscene and hearty, and they torture the palace maid to the point that life is worse than death.

The palace maid was ruthless, didn't say a word, gritted her teeth and endured it for two months, and when she combed the concubine's hair, she was ruthless and inserted a golden hairpin directly into the concubine's throat. Although she was later rescued, the emperor of the previous dynasty felt that her methods were pickled and gave up directly.

Yuehua only learned from there that this vegetable household must be in love with the palace people and the eunuchs, and he can't be the master of this kind of damage to yin and morality, so when he heard Xiang Shen say it, his face sank a little.

"Although Qiao Zhu is ambitious, he has never made any big mistakes, how can he deal with it like this? As a lady of manners, you must remember that the reward and punishment of palace people must be fair and just, there are rules to follow, and you must not measure right and wrong according to your own preferences. ”

Xiang Shen was a little anxious: "The queen has taught her a great lesson, and Xiang Shen has written it down, but this kind of thing must be prevented before it happens, and when she climbs on our head, it will be too late." ”

Yuehua knew that her worries were not unreasonable, and said in a relaxed tone: "This kind of black face is for Mama Qin to do, so you don't talk too much, lest she think that you can't tolerate her and make you a stumbling block in secret." ”

In the afternoon, Yuehua passed by a few little eunuchs and called Mama Qin to lecture her.

"Why are those little eunuchs in our palace all angry? When their skin is tender, they shouldn't be able to rub fat and powder, I'm afraid they will mess with any cheekless girl in our palace. As the mother in charge, you will keep a mind, so that you can beat and knock. Although they are only eunuchs, they are also half men, and their daughter's family should be self-respecting and not too frivolous. You know that this palace is taboo about this, and after checking it, you will drive it out of the palace, so as not to cause trouble in the future and make trouble. ”

Mama Qin had already heard and witnessed Qiao Zhu's words and deeds, but she only accepted her silver with short hands, so she turned a blind eye to her. Now that Yuehua blamed her, she had to pretend to come to the front to instruct her, and extorted a piece of silver, and then reported it to Yuehua to know, but she only prevaricated that the little eunuch stole Qiao Zhu's rouge to wipe it.

Yuehua didn't expect Mama Qin to be so protective, she felt a little angry in her heart, and reprimanded angrily: "If you steal needles when you're small, and if you steal gold when you're big, although they just steal incense powder and rouge, it's also unforgivable. ”

Mama Qin was shocked, knowing that if this board went down, the little eunuchs would not be able to endure it, and they would definitely cry out for injustice, so she hurriedly pleaded and said: "Several people are usually regular, and they are probably familiar with Qiao Zhu, just kidding, right?" ”

Yuehua stared at Mama Qin for a moment, only to see that her heart was furious, and then she said with a straight face: "For Mama Qin's sake, this palace is fine, but Mama Qin can admonish them well, understand some rules and shame, lest you and I will be unfavorable in the future, and we will have to eat melon cheese." ”

Mama Qin listened to what she said, and hurriedly responded, and reprimanded and admonished a few people with righteous words, and restrained her words and deeds, and Qiao Zhu was no exception.

Yuehua took it as a warning, and secretly told Xiangshen to keep an eye on the subordinates at all times, and to be tight, not to be too kind, not to be too harsh, and to master the proportions. It's okay for people to gossip behind their backs, but you must not talk about the master, and you have committed a taboo in the palace. When disciplining subordinates, you should also be careful, don't be used as a stick by Mama Qin, and try to do as little or no things as you offend people. It is also necessary to pay attention to cultivating some loyal and reliable helpers and eyes and ears.

There are all kinds of things, and they are hard-working, and they teach hand in hand.

On the second day, the weather changed suddenly, and the nomads at the border began to become restless. Before the heavy snow closed the road, they invaded the border towns of Chang'an, plundering the cotton, grain, cloth, etc. needed for winter. Those people rode on horses, followed the wandering clouds in the sky, and wherever they went, they grabbed like bells hanging from the whip, and they were elusive and headaches.

When Yuehua's father was alive, he often talked to her about things on the battlefield, although she was just an ignorant child at that time.

So Yuehua knew what those Xiliang people in the border relied on. Their perennial horse life gave them a strong physique, superb horsemanship, and ruthless knife skills, and their guerrilla tactics made Chang'an's army defenseless and helpless.

Originally, there were several border cities in Xiliang Border Pass, where the army of the imperial court was stationed, and excellent defensive equipment and lookout posts and intelligence transmission stations were built to protect Chang'an. It was only a battle five years ago, the commander unfortunately fell into the opponent's plan to lure the enemy, and the 6,000 elite soldiers led by him were besieged in the snow sea of Cang'er Mountain, fought bloodily for a day and a night, and then all of them were martyred.

After that, Xiliang soldiers and horses fell from the sky, conquered all the cities overnight, planted the flag belonging to Xiliang, and opened the door to invade Chang'an.

Yuehua's father was the commander of that battle, and he broke his promise to Yuehua's mother and daughter in that battle, and died a tragic death, shrouded in horse leather.

Today, his brother Chu Mubai still sticks to the border pass, vowing to expel the Xiliang people and avenge his father-in-law.

This battle spread for five years, and Chu Mubai later heard from Miao Miao.

From five years ago to the present, the army of the imperial court stationed at the border pass has been reported frequently, and there have also been defeats, victories and defeats, and people have long been sleepy.

Another year of cold winter is coming, Yuehua is worried about Chu Mubai's safety at the same time, the DPRK and China also continue to have war reports of 800 miles to rush to Beijing, I heard that the situation is not very optimistic, Mo Guhan is also at a loss.

In the past, the Xiliang people would not attack the city, and regarded the city as a chicken rib, and after the looting was completed, they abandoned the city and fled. When it prospers again, it will come back. This year, the people of Xiliang seem to have ambitions, and they began to leap towards the territory of Chang'an, and they have the ambition to enter Chang'an and smash Huanglong.

Mo Guhan often summoned the ministers of the court to discuss matters in the imperial study, and rarely came to the harem, and heard that Concubine Ling and Concubine He were gone, and they were no longer like cockfights, and they were in no mood when they were depressed.

Yuehua's second uncle Chang Zhiyi was once again reused by Mo Guhan, and I heard that the concubine in Chang Zhiyi's mansion was assigned by Mo Guhan to marry a prince as a concubine, and also rewarded a lot of treasured jewelry, and the emperor's grace was unlimited for a while.

Mama Qin smiled and said that Yuehua's good days should be coming soon. The emperor has to rely on the second uncle, and he will be impressed by Yuehua. Since ancient times, the court and the harem have been closely connected and are all one.

Yuehua didn't like this second uncle from the bottom of his heart, not for anything else, just because his father had the best relationship with his second uncle during his lifetime, and the second uncle could be said to be raised by General Chu in the army.

At that time, although the Chang family's power was also intertwined above the court, it was suppressed by the previous emperor and could not control Chang'an's economic lifeline and military power. Later, Yuehua's mother, Chang Zhirou, married General Chu.

At that time, Chang Zhiyi, who had just served in the Ministry of War, was just a little-known small leader, and it was General Chu who "cultivated" the second uncle with one hand, and rose step by step, and even after General Chu died, he took over General Chu's position, made many military exploits, and then took charge of Chang'an's military power with one hand.

But for Yuehua, the second uncle's approach was too cold. After his father Chu Lingchuan sacrificed his life for the country, and his mother Chang Zhirou committed suicide and martyrdom, during the years that Yuehua lived in Changle Hou's Mansion, Chang Zhiyi never went to Changle Hou's Mansion to care about himself in person, and ignored him. Even every time Mama Wei mentions it, she can't help but complain about the second uncle's ingratitude.

Yuehua just smiled indifferently.

If it is because of the relationship between Chang Zhiyi, Mo Guhan has to pamper himself, then such a grace is the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, like charity, it is even more dependent on blessings and misfortunes, don't do it.
