The two silly creatures in the Yu Garden were lying on their backs, their body fur was black and white, and they looked lazy and funny, and Xue Yu was very interesting to watch.

There were bamboo leaves piled up on the side, and Xue Yu asked, "Do these two foolish creatures really only eat bamboo leaves?" ”

The subordinate who raised the breeder replied respectfully, "Hui Niangniang, it is true." ”

"Look at you two, it's a sight." It's not what the palace attendants wear.

"Yu Niangniang, the two of us were originally in Shudi, and what we did was to raise this thing, and then the general sent the two of us over in order to take care of these two bamboo bears,"

"So, can the mourners feed them?"

"Niangniang, this thing has not been domesticated yet, I'm afraid of hurting Niangniang." The bamboo bear is honest and will not hurt people, but this is a noble person in the palace, if there is a mistake, the two of them are afraid that their heads will not be protected.

"It's okay, you can bring some bamboo leaves." Since Liu Yan sent her, she would not be put in danger, she and the emperor were fragrant.

Xue Yu teased them with bamboo branches, but the two fools glanced at her but ignored them, just changed their posture and curled up lazily.

"Why didn't they ignore me?"

The keeper knelt down and said, "Niangniang, it may be a long journey, and after two days, they will be recuperated and then entertained by Niangniang." ”

Xue Yu felt bored, and threw the bamboo branch in his hand casually, but a silly thing got up and walked up leisurely, Xue Yu snorted lightly and turned away.

Just as he was about to have dinner, Xiao Zheng ran over, and fine sweat could run out of his forehead on such a cold day.

"Why are you so excited?"

"Niangniang, Da Sima is going to beat Huo Ren." The little emperor whispered, the excitement in his tone that could not be concealed.

"How do you know?"

"Then Huo Ren occupies Liangzhou."

"How can it be, Liangzhou is not a military fortress, nor is it a rich place, so what is the use of Huo Ren taking Liangzhou, I haven't heard any news before."

"That is to say, I also think it is strange, but regardless of him, now that Dong Yi is discussing with the generals how to deploy, and the troops will be sent soon, Niangniang, do you think we will be able to go back soon."

Seeing that he was radiant and his words were full of excitement, Xue Yu only said, "Don't think about it." ”

Xiao Zheng disagreed, "Sister, Dong Yi has been training soldiers and cultivating war horses every day this year, how can a strong soldier not win." ”

Dong Yi has been recruiting troops for more than a year, forging weapons, and hoarding grain and grass, and his intentions are all obvious.

Xue Yu smiled, Liangzhou is not an important place, take Liangzhou through He Chuan, bypass Lianghe and finally capture the capital. The Liang River is the natural barrier of the capital, if you want to take down the capital, you either cross the Liang River directly, or take the He River. If a direct crossing of the Liang River requires large ships and is time-consuming and labor-intensive, Huo Ren's army is not good at water, so it is a good strategy to cross the Liang River directly. It seems that his victory over the world of the Daye Dynasty is bound to win.

On the second day, Dong Yi really mobilized 300,000 soldiers and horses to wave the Northern Expedition to defeat the rebels and seize the throne.

Less than ten days after the expedition recaptured Liangzhou, captured Surabaya, the army marched north in two ways, and recaptured four cities, it seems that Huo Ren seems to have underestimated Dong Yi.

Previously, Dong Yi needed to unite with Liu Yan to reluctantly drive him away from Xiangcheng, but now he bullied Dong Yi alone, and 100,000 soldiers and horses besieged Dong Yi in three ways, which was bound to besiege Dong Yi alive to death.

But he didn't want to be deceived by Dong Yi, so he led Wu Qian's soldiers and horses as bait, and the main force was led by several sons of the Dong family to be copied from behind, Huo Ren was surrounded, but he was escorted by his own soldiers and fled.

Xue Yu does not participate in political affairs, but she still knows the daily battle report, after all, the people of the entire capital know. The cold atmosphere in the palace became more lively because of Dong Yi's departure.

Dong Yi is now the pillar of the capital, which will lead the troops outside, and the government affairs of the places under the jurisdiction of the capital are also brought out, and there are very few ministers who enter the palace on weekdays except for those who teach the emperor's degree.

Xue Yu was closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, and Aunt Su came in to report that it was Mrs. Dong who asked to see her.

"Is there any disheveled clothes?" Xue Yu asked.

Aunt Su stepped forward to help her sort it out, "It's not untidy." ”

"I'll go meet her."

When Mrs. Dong saw Xue Yu greeting her at the palace gate, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Niangniang welcomes her, and she is tormented by the old body."

Mrs. Dong's hair is gray, it is said that she is a few years older than Dong Yi, and the powder on her face can no longer cover her old age, but her full-body style and upbringing are also difficult to hide.

Mrs. Dong is the noble daughter of the Li family in Hexi, and she married Dong Yi that day.

"Madame wants to enter the palace, why don't you let someone inform me, so that I can arrange a sedan chair to pick you up."

"The mother is polite, the old body can't afford it." As a gesture to salute, Xue Yu hurriedly stopped, "I've said it a few times, there's no need for Madame to come to me." Xue Yu supported her at the door of the palace.

"The old body is ashamed."

"Madame deserves it, how can Madame have time to enter the palace today."

Xue Yu helped her into the seat, and she sat at the top of the seat.

The two talked about family life, and talked about the gossip of the adults in the court, and Mrs. Dong beckoned to the young woman on the side, "Yuan'er, come here." ”

The woman was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round figure, a pretty appearance, and a moist complexion.

"It's ......"

"This is my niece and granddaughter Yuan'er, who is fifteen years old this year, come and see Niangniang."

The girl made a big bow to Xue Yu, and Xue Yu said, "It's polite, Miss Yuan'er get up." ”

The girl's eyes raised slightly, and she glanced at Xue Yu shyly.

"Come forward." Xue Yu said.

Yuan'er hesitated in her heart, looked at Mrs. Dong, and got Mrs. Dong's chin before walking slowly towards Xue Yu.

When she stepped forward, Xue Yu took off the jade bracelet on her hand, "When we met for the first time, the mourning family was not prepared, the color of this bracelet was very much like you, and it was given to you." ”

"The mother is loved, and Yuan'er doesn't dare to accept it." Yuan'er refused, and his face was worried.

"Madam, isn't your Yuan'er girl disgusted?" Xue Yu quipped,

Mrs. Dong smiled, "Since the mother gave it to you, you can accept it." ”

"Yes."

Xue Yu helped her put it on, and looked at it carefully, "Sure enough, I praise you very much." ”

Yuan'er saluted, "Thank you for your love."

The hall was peaceful, talking and laughing, until Mrs. Dong took the round girl after dinner.

The hall was quiet, but Xue Yu felt that his head hurt badly.

When Aunt Su saw it, she asked her to lean on her back and helped her press the acupuncture points on her head. In the past two years, Xue Yu had headaches from time to time, and she specially went to study with a female doctor.

"What about Your Majesty?"

"I came to the meeting in the evening, and when I saw that you had a guest, I went back, saying that I wouldn't disturb you." Aunt Su smiled.

"Hey...... How old is Your Majesty this year? Xue Yu recalled the time when he first met the little emperor, when he was nine years old and she was fifteen, and when he saw her, he shyly called her sister.

"Twelve, why did the mother ask like that."

The round girl is fifteen.

Xue Yu closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, "It's nothing, and suddenly sighed that time flies." ”

She only said that the emperor was old and had to be sensible and reasonable, but she was only twelve years old.

At such an age, she is still entangled in her grandfather's knees, and her biggest worry is only thinking about where to have fun and where to eat.

"Auntie, I seem to be old."

Aunt Su looked at Xue Yu with a head full of green silk distressedly, "Niangniang is young, and the green silk at this end makes the slave look envious." ”

Xue Yu didn't reply, only sighed in his heart, his heart was old.
