He walked out slowly, but saw the princess sitting and Peng Cheng standing, walking around constantly, shouting loudly as he walked: "Princess, your maid is so bold, she even dares to move the princess's things casually, isn't it too unreasonable to take the princess in her eyes?" ”

The two palace maids kneeling on the ground just cried and didn't dare to answer.

The princess was patient: "The princess is angry, these two slaves and maids didn't mean it, they were just negligent when cleaning......"

"A moment of negligence?? Such a valuable jade bracelet was perfunctory and broken after a moment of negligence...... See for yourself, it's all broken like this...... This is one of my favorite bracelets...... Now what? ”

"The princess is angry, the princess is angry...... It's a big deal, I'll pay you a pair, come on, bring my pair of red bracelets and compensate the princess......"

When Peng Cheng heard her say this, he was even more furious: "Princess, you don't even teach your maid a word??? They don't even need to apologize? ”

The princess's face sank.

"Princess, I have already paid you my bracelet, what else do you want?"

Princess Pengcheng's cheeks were red with anger, and in a blink of an eye, she saw her brother standing at the door, stomping her feet, and cried loudly: "Brother, I can't stay anymore, I can't stay here anymore...... I know you don't welcome me, and I'm not bored anymore...... I'll go, I'll go right away...... Come on, pack up my things, I'll leave right away......"

King Xianyang stepped forward, grabbed her, and apologized with a smile: "Good sister, how can you be as knowledgeable as them?" ”

glared at the princess fiercely again: "You still want to make amends to your sister quickly?" ”

The princess is not good at stubble, she has long been impatient with this sister-in-law, and now, seeing her so domineering, she was angry, and simply turned around and left, without giving the king of Xianyang any face.

Peng Cheng stomped his feet: "Brother, look! When you weren't there, you still said that I was vexatious...... Now you've seen it all, right?? It was she who bullied me, and her maids dared to bully me...... They deliberately broke my bracelet in order to drive me away...... Woo woo ...... I'm leaving, I'm going to leave right away......"

Xianyang Wang Shengsheng dragged her until she sat down on a chair.

"Come on, pour a good cup of tea for the princess."

When the tea came, Princess Pengcheng had already cried a handful of snot and tears, swept the teacup on the ground, and smashed it: "Brother, my life is not good, I thought it was my husband who died, but I had my brother's care, but unexpectedly, this family can't accommodate me at all...... I'll go, I'll go...... No way, I had to find someone to marry......"

King Xianyang heard the clue at this time, and immediately asked: "Peng Cheng, who do you want to marry?" ”

Princess Pengcheng wiped her tears fiercely and said angrily, "Don't worry about it." ”

"Peng Cheng, tell me quickly, who are you going to marry?"

Princess Peng Cheng wiped away her tears, and her tone was very arrogant: "Hmph, I want to marry General Li!." ”

General Lee?

King Xianyang was taken aback.

He has no friendship with General Li, and besides, this person is arrogant and arrogant, and he never takes him, the prince, in his eyes. If he was asked to choose, how could he choose General Li?

"Peng Cheng, we have no relationship with General Li, how could you think of marrying him?"

Princess Pengcheng showed a proud and proud look on her face: "Hmph, brother, you don't care about me, the imperial brother will take care of me." General Li, it was the imperial brother who selected it for me, and the imperial brother said, this person is very good, and I also met this person yesterday...... He is tall and burly, a talent, and very majestic...... The imperial brother said that he has a lot of military achievements, and soon, he will be crowned a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister......"

King Xianyang's face sank.

"Peng Cheng, why did you think of getting married at this time?"

She sneered, "I can't stay here anymore." What can I do? ”

"Look, don't you think it's strange that the imperial brother wants to marry you off in a hurry at this time?"

"What's so strange? It's not the first time that the royal brother has been a matchmaker for me. The royal brother mentioned this matter last year, and there was no suitable candidate at that time......"

King Xianyang was slow, he was so anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it. Originally, he and Peng Cheng were brothers and sisters of the same mother, and they thought they were closer; However, the emperor's brother is very powerful, if Peng Cheng really marries General Li, and General Li is the emperor's cronies, and his husband and wife follow, naturally Peng Cheng will be everywhere in the future. At the very least, I'm embarrassed to embarrass that woman again.

It can be said that there is one less alliance in his own.

He was like a cat's claw in his heart, but he didn't dare to let Peng Cheng know what was going on in his heart at all.

However, he immediately changed to a very tactful way: "Peng Cheng, don't you think it's strange? Now that woman is about to give birth, the royal brother should be very busy, but he actually came to ask about your marriage......

"What does this have to do with that woman? I haven't seen her in years. The palace ladies all said that she is now living in a simple house, and she has a baby in the Lizheng Palace, and she doesn't go out much at all......"

"That's right! That's the key! At this time, the royal brother should not have the leisure to take care of your marriage at all...... I think the woman must have instructed him! ”

"And!"

Peng Cheng scoffed: "That woman won't care about me!" Where does she have such a good heart?? She wishes I could be a nun for the rest of my life! ”

"Peng Cheng, you used to be so smart, why are you confused today?"

"Brother, if you have something to say, just say it, why bother beating around the bush?"

King Xianyang lost no time at this time: "Peng Cheng, don't worry, wait and see, I think there must be a lot of mystery here......

He said a few words attached to Peng Cheng's ear, and when Peng Cheng heard it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and become angry.

"Brother, is this true?"

"Of course!!"

She sneered: "I'm wondering why the imperial brother is in such a hurry to play for me." It seems that that slut really doesn't make waves for a day, and she won't be at peace for a day. Since she is unkind, let me not blame me for being unjust. ”

However, after all, there was still a little hesitation: "Brother, can this work?" ”

"Of course!! Peng Cheng, don't forget, things in this world are never known to God. As the saying goes, there's no such thing as an impermeable wall, right? ”

Peng Cheng spun the emerald jade bracelet on his wrist.

This emerald green is more transparent than the vitality of the leaves. She spun around for a while, making a tinkling sound, and at this time, she was very angry and very proud.

Winter is here, and spring is coming soon.

Miao Lian was pregnant in the summer, and if you do the math, the due date will be in March and April.

Pregnant with Liujia and impaired in mobility, according to the maintenance list prescribed by the palace wife and the imperial doctor, she increased the amount of activity, and every morning and evening, she would walk around the imperial garden.

At that time, Tuoba Hong was also very busy.

Since the beginning of spring, the war with the Southern Dynasties has fallen into a stalemate, and several generals in the front have successively reported defeats. In order to recapture the lost counties of Yongzhou, the Southern Dynasty sent the Taiwei Chen Xianda to lead the Pingbei general Cui Huijing's army of 40,000 to attack the northern country, repeatedly broke the Xianbei general Yuan Ying, and besieged the Maquan City three hundred miles north of Xiangyang for more than 40 days.

The northern soldiers were forced to break through the siege, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people. Chen Xianda also sent troops to recapture Nanxiang County, causing serious military pressure on the northern country.

He was anxious, but helpless.

For several days on end, he convened military councils of his ministers.

The unanimous outcome of the discussions was that the tide of war must not drag on into the summer. At that time, the weather was hot, and the main Xianbei army in the north was the most intolerant of the heat, and it was basically difficult to achieve victory every time it dragged on until the summer decisive battle.

Therefore, it is imperative to achieve a quick solution.

However, Chen Xianda was a famous general of the Southern Dynasty, and he was worried that Tuoba Hong would not be able to subdue him if he did not go out in person.

If it were the usual one, Tuoba Hong would have decided to go on a personal expedition almost without hesitation, but this time, he had been hesitant and could hardly make a decision.

On this day, he came back very late.

Feng Miaolian had already fallen asleep, and when she heard him come back, she got up again.

Tuoba Hong hurriedly held her up, and said angrily: "Miaolian, you are resting, what are you doing again?" ”

She said softly: "I slept for a long time this afternoon, and now I don't fall asleep at all, and I can't sleep anyway when I lie down." ”

While speaking, he instructed the palace ladies to prepare the imperial meal.

The dishes are very light, because Tuoba Hong has been on fire these days, and there are blood blisters on her mouth, so she prepared some light lotus seed porridge.

After retiring the palace maids, she personally served him a bowl of lotus seed porridge, "Your Majesty, you can taste it." ”

"Miao Lian, sit down, I'll come by myself."

She said softly, "It's a gesture, and it's not hard at all." Your Majesty, you see, your mouth is foaming, so let's summon the imperial doctor to take a look tonight, right? ”

Tuoba Hong shook his head.

He has been in a hurry lately, but he doesn't want to show it in front of Miao Lian to make her worry at all. Hearing her ask, Qiang smiled: "It's okay, Miaolian, I'm fine." ”

She stared at him. These days, he is very emaciated, and his eyes are bloodshot, which really doesn't look very good.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with our war with the Southern Dynasties?"

He let out a long sigh: "The Southern Dynasty has a famous general, Chen Xianda, which is really not easy to deal with. He has repeatedly defeated the generals of the Northern Kingdom, and it is useless for us to send anyone. Alas......"

No wonder, he's emaciated like this.

I think that at the beginning, although he used strategy and coercion to make the ministers no longer oppose the new queen, in order to raise military expenses, he did hope to get a certain amount of military support.

She felt a sudden fear in her heart.

I have known him for more than 20 years, and he has been married for more than ten years, and he spends most of his time outside, and he has a career in horses. It can be said that almost all the emperors in the north were played, starting from Taizu, to Emperor Gao Luojia, and then to Emperor Hongwen...... In the past, it was very normal for Tuoba Hong to drive in person, and Feng Miaolian never felt anything strange.

This time, there was an inexplicable fear in my heart.
