Yu'er stood at the door of the main hall, feeling the mild sunshine of early spring, drinking bowls of soup, her complexion finally improved, although she was still a little thin, but she didn't know how many times better than before. The whole of the Splendid Palace finally saw the joy. Chu Sheng hadn't been here for a few days, and it was said that there were Japanese invaders on the border, and now he was discussing with the minister how to send troops to suppress it. The court was divided into two factions, one for the main battle and the other for peace. The emperor was undecided, and after several days of deliberation, no conclusion was reached. Yu'er didn't understand this, but she knew that the secretary of the military department was Li Xiyue's father, Li Manlun, who was also the maternal cousin of the empress dowager, and the general Weizhen, who held the heavy army, was the empress dowager's nephew, Li Ziyu. Although the emperor has been on the throne for several years, his foundation is not very stable. If you send troops, most of them will still rely on the Li family.

After dinner, Chu Sheng finally stepped into the main hall of the Splendid Palace, looking haggard and tired. Yu'er greeted him and personally served him tea. Chu Sheng held her hand and said, "Sit down, let them do these things." I haven't been here for a few days, so I remember to come and see you! I'll have to go back to the discussion later. ”

Yu'er walked around behind her and reached out to squeeze his shoulder.

"I heard them say that there is an enemy on the border, but Chu Sheng is worried about this?" Although the emperor had already privately explained that Yu'er could call him by his name when there was no one, this was the first time Yu'er had called out, the emperor's heart warmed, he reached out and grabbed her little hand on his shoulder, and replied: "It's all scattered troops, it can't be a climate, Yu'er doesn't have to worry, I should handle it safely." ”

"The ancestors said that 'enough food, enough soldiers, and the trust of the people' is the government, and now I am a big Wednesday, and Yuer firmly believes that Chu Sheng will win a big victory."

Chu Sheng smiled slightly: "Yu'er still understands this?" ”

Yu'er's face flushed: "But when I was at home, I often heard my father talk about it." ”

"Your father...."Chu Sheng groaned slightly, and then said: "It's a pity to be a prefect!" ”

"Yu'er doesn't understand this, she only knows that my Great Zhou country is rich and the people are strong, and the talents are abundant, so why are the little widows afraid." Yu'er said and sat down beside Chu Sheng, picked up the cold tea and handed it over.

"Yu'er is right, it's just that I can use the people right now......" After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't mention these, I see that you look good today, and your body is all right?" ”

"Hmmm! It's been no big deal for a long time, but thanks to my cousin, I sent me a lot of ginseng and snow lotus, and if I make up for it every day, Yu'er is afraid that she will become a big fat man! As he spoke, he covered his mouth and smiled coquettishly.

"You mean Han Zhen?"

"Exactly, my cousin has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he is familiar with military books, but I didn't expect him to be a careful person." Yu'er said as she carefully peeked at Chu Sheng's face.

"I forgot about this man!"

"Your Majesty, you can use some of the soup stew in a while, Yu'er is really distressed to see that your face is not good." As he spoke, he stroked the emperor's cheek with his hand, and his eyes were even more glittering with tears.

"It's okay, I'll use it with you!"

By the time the soup had been stewed, it was already late at night, and Chu Sheng, who was originally going to go back to the Qianhe Palace, naturally did not go back.

A few days later, the emperor issued a holy decree to entitle Han Zhen, a first-class guard in front of the emperor, as the general of Anyuan, and led his troops to pacify the Japanese invaders. At first, the Queen Mother did not agree, but said that Han Zhen was young and had no experience in leading troops, so it was better to let her son go if she wanted to go on the expedition. But the emperor insisted, and said that it was only that the border army was scattered and not enough to fear, and it was good to let the newcomers go through the training. The Queen Mother didn't say anything more.

The day before the expedition, Yu'er called Qiushui and carefully instructed: "You go to the military department to find your cousin and tell her that this battle can only be won, and the future of our sisters will be gambled on him alone!" ”

"Yes! Slave and maid, go now! Qiushui knew that the matter was important, and nodded heavily in agreement.

"Go quietly and don't let anyone else see you." Yu'er still said uneasily.

"The slave understands, the little master can rest assured!" So saying, he got up and went.

Han Zhen really lived up to the good news, Chu Sheng was in a good mood, and when the begonias in the imperial garden were blooming just right, he accompanied the concubines to enjoy the flowers.

The flowers in the royal garden are red and willow green, and everyone is wearing flowers and branches, and the fragrance of jingle fat powder is better than the fragrance of flowers everywhere they go. After walking for a long time, the emperor was a little tired, so he took everyone to sit down in the Qinxin Pavilion, and immediately a little eunuch served tea and various snacks.

"Hey, what kind of flower do you think that's that? The color is delicate, budding, and it is really good-looking tight. Chen Lixin stretched out her hand beside the emperor and pointed to a cluster of small purple flowers not far away. Everyone looked back, shaking their heads and not knowing his name.

Charlene glanced twice, Ying Ying got up and replied, "Hui Niangniang, that's the fragrant violet." ”

Chu Sheng heard someone answer, and when he looked back and saw that it was Xia Chongyi who was forgotten by him, he felt a little guilty, and praised with a smile: "You are well-informed, that little flower doesn't even recognize me!" ”

Xia Lin was just about to bend her knees to thank her, but Chen Lixin on the side sneered and said, "I really have done things in the flower room, and my research on flowers and plants is better than ours." Charlene's face was slightly red, the birth of the palace maid made her feel inferior, and now she was openly laughed at, her resentment can be imagined.

"Your Majesty, look at that little flower, although it is low, a small bush, but it is also special in this ten thousand flowers, so that people can remember it at a glance. Born as a flower, I naturally want to be the king of flowers, peony, but how can I have that fate, if I can't be a concubine, but like this pansy, no matter how big the wind and rain are, I can stand proudly, is it comparable to some vulgar powder? What do you say, Your Majesty? ”

Chu Sheng nodded again and again: "What Yu'er said is extremely true!" I really remembered this pansy flower when I saw it. ”

"Your Majesty, Xia Chongyi has solved everyone's confusion, you can appreciate it well!"

Chu Sheng was already guilty of Xia Lin, and now that he heard Yu'er say this, there was no reason not to agree, and hurriedly replied: "It's a reward!" It's a reward! ”

"According to what the concubine saw, since she was rewarded for Xiang Jin, it is better to give her the word 'Jin' as a title." Yu'er looked up at Xia Lin's grateful eyes and smiled slightly.

"According to what Concubine Ai said, I will pass on my will to Jin Chong and give the girl a seal for the Xia family." The girl knelt down excitedly and thanked her again and again.

Looking at everyone again, Chen Lixin had already blown her beard angrily and stared, Li Xiyue looked at the Jinpa in her hand as if she didn't see what was in front of her, the queen looked calm, Su'er smiled and looked at the girl who was kneeling on the ground, only Xin'er turned sideways slightly, as if she didn't want to see everyone in the pavilion, Yu'er sighed in her heart, she was afraid that this matter would make her unhappy!

It was not too early to return to the palace, so Yu'er invited Su'er and Xin'er to dine together. Yu'er wanted to speak several times, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, and the meal was quite quiet.

After finishing the meal, Jinxin served tea, Yu'er groaned again and again, and finally sighed, and said: "Xin'er, today's matter ......" Before the sentence was finished, Xin'er asked first: "Sister, why do you even want to help her?" ”

"Xin'er, I owe the Xia family a favor, I will pay her back today, and I will still have a place for her in the future."

"She is planning to climb the dragon bed, she is very thoughtful, and her sister dares to believe her?" Xin'er's face was unwilling, and her face was slightly red as she spoke.

"Xin'er, listen to my sister's advice, you don't have to take some things to heart, it's difficult to suffer for others!"

Su'er also knew the origin of this from her sister before, so she also opened her mouth to persuade: "Yes, to survive in this harem, you have to look at everything, and you just make yourself sad if you are angry." ”

Xin'er smiled when she heard this: "I understand what my sisters mean." Then he took up the teacup and said no more.

"Xin'er, since I entered the palace, I have treated you as my own sister, and I naturally want you in my heart, but there are some things I have to do, don't blame me." Yu'er sighed heavily after speaking.

"Everyone has their own life, my sister has something to do, and I naturally have something to do. It's just sister, no matter what happens in the future, Xin'er won't hurt you! Xin'er stared at Yu'er and said word by word, and finally stood up slowly.

"Xin'er, you don't have to say that, I ......"

Without waiting for Yu'er to finish speaking, she bent her knees slightly, and said, "My sister still has some things in the palace, so I won't accompany my sister and retire first!" Then he turned around with the maid of the palace.

Yu'er looked at her distant back, dazed. Seeing this, Su'er took a step closer and said, "Sister, you don't have to take it to heart, I will persuade her well, and one day she will understand your difficulties." ”

Yu'er shook her head and muttered: "Everyone says, 'Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass', but they don't know that the word is the most ugly for women." With a look of concern on Shangxu'er's face, she reluctantly smiled and comforted: "Okay, I'm tired today, let's go back and rest early." ”

"Yes, sister, rest well, don't be in a hurry to take your time, there is always me in everything!"

"Okay, I got it!"

At night, Yu'er dreamed of the little figure again, and called out vaguely: "Mother, I miss you so much!" Yu'er hugged her, "Jing'er, my mother misses you so much!" ”

When I woke up, I was already in tears. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night......

A few days later, news came from the former dynasty that General An Yuan had led his army to a complete victory on the border, and he would return to the DPRK in a few days. The whole court was extremely happy, and even the harem was full of festive atmosphere.

At the end of the night, there was a slender figure standing in the main hall of the Splendid Palace, she took off her cloak, it was the Sumire Cainu who had just been awarded the title two days ago!

Yu'er sat on the throne of the head, smiled faintly and said, "Jin Cainu is here at this time, but what is the important matter?" ”

"Niangniang, Xian Ping, who is beside Concubine Yue, came to find the concubine again last night." Sumire replied with a curt-kneeled voice.

"Oh, why did she come to tell me when she came to you?" Yu'er was still smiling.

"Niangniang, the concubine listens to her and means that she wants the concubine to obey them."

"And what do you mean?" Yu'er didn't look at her, and played with the jade pendant in her hand, as if she asked casually.

Jin Cai Nu hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Niangniang, the grace of carrying is unforgettable, and the concubine has long determined in her heart who is the master, and the concubine will not do anything outside the house." ”

Yu'er put down the things in her hand, looked at the Sumire Cainu on the ground and said, "Why do you kneel down while talking, let's cool down on the ground." ”

"Xie Niangniang cares!" Sumire stood up with a kowtow.

Yu'er looked at her and asked, "Is this the first time she's looking for you?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, I looked for my concubine once before, saying that I could make the concubine the second Lan Xiuyi, but the concubine didn't take it to heart."

"Then what did you promise this time?"

"Hui Niangniang, it's nothing more than a future favor or something." Sumire Cainu said with an indifferent face, as if she really didn't take these things to heart.

"You're not tempted at all?" Yu'er looked at her with a smile and said.

"Although the concubine is ignorant, she is not stupid and dull, who is sincere and who is false, the concubine can still tell the difference."

"Okay, you don't have to be a concubine like this, just call me sister in the future."

"Yes, my sister is kind and my sister remembers!"

"Sit down and talk!"

After Jin Cainu sat down, Yu'er picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and asked casually: "Last time, you asked people to pass the word, saying that you saw Lan Xiuyi feeding Rui Wang Baiguo, but you saw it with your own eyes?" ”

Xia Lin heard her suddenly talk about this, her face darkened, and she knelt down again and said: "Sister, it is indeed what I saw with my own eyes, I blame my sister for negligence, I didn't take this matter to heart, otherwise King Rui will ......" said and looked up at Yu'er and shed two lines of tears.

Yu'er hated it in her heart at the moment, her hands clenched into fists, and said, "They are scheming, how can I blame you for this matter, you get up!" ”

Charlene got up and silently wiped away her tears.

"Okay, I already know about this matter, first wronged you and follow them for the time being, if there is anything, send someone to tell Jinxin, don't risk coming again."

"Yes, my sister remembered!" Charlene replied on her knees.

"It's late at night, sister, let's go back first."

After the girl left, Yu'er sat alone in the main hall for a long time, and now they didn't dare to come up to persuade when they saw this, until the sky showed the white of the fish's belly, Yu'er called someone to freshen up and went directly to Fengyang Palace to ask the queen for peace.
