Li Jingnan's expression was a little gloomy, "He was originally stationed in the southwest, and those barbarian tribes were afraid of him, if it wasn't for the fall of Mozhou, my father would not have sent him to this northern ......"

Seeing an eight-year-old child worried about the country and the people, Hua Qingxue felt a sense of absurdity in her heart, as well as a strange sadness.

"And what about the generals who were stationed here?" Hua Qingxue asked.

"Dead." Li Jingnan's eyes stared at the lazy flame in the stove, "I once heard the queen mother say to my uncle, compared with the two martial arts, my father focused on the cultural governance, but the martial arts were too perfunctory, causing me to be a huge country, and there was no general available." ”

The emperor was talked about like this, Li Jingnan, as the crown prince, was absolutely uncomfortable in his heart, recalling the scene at that time, his face was gloomy.

"My uncle also said that my father's was not, and it was clear that I could send troops again in the battle of Mozhou, but my father chose to sue for peace and ceded the three states to the Liao."

Hua Qingxue frowned, the queen said that's it, and the queen's younger brother also said the same, isn't it a bit rebellious......

Li Jingnan turned his head to look at Hua Qingxue and said, "I was still young at the time, and after overhearing this, I went to tell my father. ”

Hua Qingxue was surprised, "Then what is your father's reaction?" ”

He didn't say anything, just smiled, and went on to review the cantata. Li Jingnan's tone carried a certain certainty, "My father will definitely not be wrong, he is the Son of Heaven, he must be right." ”

Hua Qingxue felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart when she saw Li Jingnan's face with a precocious maturity that was not suitable for this age, and she nodded, "Hmm! Your father must be right. ”

Li Jingnan laughed at her: "What do you know?" ”

Hua Qingxue tilted her head and thought about it, and replied: "Some emperors dream of expanding their territory, and some emperors dream of peace and security. ”

Li Jingnan pouted, "Without a strong army to protect the family and defend the country, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment?" ”

Hua Qingxue felt that Li Jingnan's idea was too extreme, she was worried that Li Jingnan would become the emperor in the future, and only care about martial arts and culture, so she couldn't help but worry, "A strong army is definitely important, but you think about it, when it comes to which country is the best, who will judge which country has a large territory and a strong army?" Everyone must judge whether the people of this country are rich, whether the officials are honest, whether they get along with each other amicably, to put it bluntly, the economic, political, and social atmosphere, and these things cannot be done by relying on the army. ”

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Li Jingnan would not listen, so she made persistent efforts: "Besides, your father is not completely disregarding martial arts, it's just that he is unlucky, and in such an era surrounded by strong enemies, no matter how many soldiers he has, he can't deal with it!" ”

The look on Li Jingnan's face was a little loosened at this time, and he gradually smiled, "Hmm...... I also think that my father must have a reason for doing things. ”

……

That night, Li Jingnan slept very well, neither being dreamed of talking nonsense, nor tossing and turning all night.

As a child, it should be thunderous when he falls asleep, but Li Jingnan shows that he is easily startled and wakes up.

In recent days, he has slept much heavier than when he first arrived at Renqiu, and Hua Qingxue attributes this to herself......

Well, in fact, she understands that Li Jingnan's performance is a process of adaptation to the environment.

But looking at his sweet little face, Hua Qingxue just felt that it must be the words she said that played a role and made Xiao Jingnan truly recognize his father from the bottom of his heart, so he let go of his knot and slept so soundly.

Hua Qingxue was very happy.

Looking at the little people sleeping peacefully beside her, she felt a very satisfied sense of happiness.

Hua Qingxue never thought that her happiness would arise because of a child's sleeping face. Perhaps, it was fate that created some invisible connection between her and him?

…… It's just that this connection may disappear soon.

Hua Qingxue's heart sank.

That General Fu didn't plan to take him with him......

What if the general took himself? Li Jingnan will one day return to the unreachable palace......

Hua Qingxue didn't have the idea of entering the palace, she didn't want to be a slave and a maid, and she didn't want to pretend to be a benefactor in the palace, not to mention that it was too embarrassing, even the attitude of the emperor and the empress was unknown.

She knew that the people here valued the royal family's prestige very much, and could do many incredible things for the sake of royal decency.

- Li Jingnan once said a trivial matter, when he was six years old, he accidentally knocked over the teapot and wet the bedding, and the next day when the palace maid cleaned up, he thought he had wet the bed, and it was not a big deal, but the palace maid's mouth was not secure, and she told others that His Royal Highness the Prince had wetted the bed, and the result was that the queen killed all the people who knew about it.

This kind of thing is not common, and the people who serve him are usually screened layer by layer, and will never reveal anything about the master.

However, when this happens, the consequences can be devastating.

Hua Qingxue naturally would not publicize Li Jingnan's affairs to the outside world, but in this era, "knowing" is a sin.

She and Li Jingnan get along day and night, eating, drinking, and sleeping together, not to mention bedwetting, she has seen Li Jingnan's embarrassment.

Hua Qingxue would not be naïve to think that the royal family would tolerate her existence, even Li Jingnan...... Hua Qingxue wasn't sure in his heart, would he be able to tolerate her existence when he grew up? After all, she had seen him at his most downcast......

Hua Qingxue was preoccupied, she didn't sleep well this night.

Early the next morning, two Liao soldiers sent two large bags of cotton coats, as Hua Qingxue expected, these clothes were cleaned by the internal affairs of the barracks, and they were not dirty, only the blood stains on the mink hair on the inner lining needed her to wash.

She counted it, there were ninety-two pieces in total, as long as she was diligent, she could wash them in two or three days, but her yard was small, and she couldn't dry many clothes at a time, so it seemed that this work was done in batches.

Hua Qingxue thought in her heart, thinking about whether to buy a few more bamboo poles, hold them high, stand a few more layers, and dry some clothes.

Not only did she want to buy bamboo poles, but she also wanted to buy some steamed buns. In fact, she used to be more accustomed to eating rice, but now she has a brain of recipes, but she really has no cooking skills, she doesn't want to waste money to configure a complete kitchenware, or steamed buns save trouble, especially steamed buns, Hua Qingxue is really in love with all kinds of stuffed buns now......

Hua Qingxue went out, and before she reached the mouth of the alley, she heard a noisy noise from the street in front of her, and she immediately stopped her feet, and there was a little drumming in her heart......

Standing in place and listening carefully for a moment, there was a lot of noise, all kinds of clamours were everywhere, and there seemed to be the sound of some things colliding.

Hua Qingxue leaned her whole body against the wall, slowly moved to the mouth of the alley, and saw many people running around!

- Something happened!

This was the first thought that flashed through Hua Qingxue's mind!

She turned around and wanted to get away from the chaos!

A figure suddenly burst out, and Hua Qingxue was slammed to the ground!

I saw a young man holding a bag of rice and fell down, and the white rice was scattered on the ground, but he quickly got up and shouted: "Don't get in the way!" Then he picked up the rice bag and turned around and ran deeper into the alley!

Hua Qingxue was a little confused, her reason made her ignore the pain in her body, and she got up and ran towards her home very quickly!

As she ran, she told herself in her heart: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid......

It is only a matter of time before there is chaos, and in any place that is occupied, the local people cannot live in depression all the time......

They need to erupt...... Sooner or later, they will break out! Small mess, big mess, over and over again......

These are all things that will happen sooner or later......

Everything was as she expected......

Don't be afraid......

Don't be afraid......

As long as the doors and windows are closed, the past few days will pass......

Despite comforting herself like this, Hua Qingxue stumbled several times on the way back, and even though she didn't have a few steps away, she ran so hard that both legs were weak.

When she arrived at the door, Hua Qingxue stumbled again!

Seeing that the whole person was about to rush to the threshold, there was a sudden tightness behind him! Jumped into the air and stopped—

Hua Qingxue turned her head and found that it was the bearded man who helped others last time......

Fu Tingye waited for Hua Qingxue to stand still, and let go of the hand that grabbed her collar.

He didn't have any expression on his face, just standing there, there was an invisible momentum that was hard to ignore.

Hua Qingxue couldn't help but be curious in her heart, what does this person usually do to raise such an amazing momentum......

She found herself calmed down, probably because of the man standing here and looking so reliable......

"Thank you...... Thanks to you last time......" Hua Qingxue thanked the other party a little embarrassed.

In fact, she usually walks quite steadily, and the only two times she fell, she was met by this person......

After she finished speaking, she found that Fu Tingye was carrying a big bag in her other hand, and the bag was bulging.

Hua Qingxue showed a shocked expression on her face and said, "Did you find this place to pay me back the radish?" No need...... It's just a bag of turnips......"

Fu Tingye: "......"

Fu Tingye thought for a while, and didn't know how to answer her, in the end, he chose to skip the topic directly, put the bag in his hand in front of the door, and said in a low voice: "Here are some grains and vegetables, enough for you to live for a few days, there are several grain shops outside that have been robbed, and the streets are in chaos, don't go out casually without my notice." ”

Hua Qingxue looked at him in a daze-

In this place, at this time, who else would send food to her and the crown prince?

Fu Tingye turned around to leave, and suddenly there was chaos in the city, and then the Liao soldiers would inevitably take action, arresting people, detaining people, torturing them, or killing chickens and monkeys......

He couldn't let these things affect the prince's rescue plan, he still had a lot of things to arrange, and there were not enough people, so he had to do it himself.

Fu ...... General Fu! Hua Qingxue shouted behind him, with obvious nervousness in her voice.
