On the third day after the wedding of Feng Xuan and Wuzhu, the Ministry of Rites once again held a banquet in the Taiji Hall for the entire Beiyi delegation and Xiao Yi and others.

The peace has been decided, the national covenant has been completed, and Garuda, on behalf of the King of Beiyi Khan, signed a covenant with the Great Yan Emperor Feng Wuyan that the two sides will not violate each other's borders within one year.

At the same time, Dayan also prepared a rich return gift to comfort the affection of the Beiyi delegation from thousands of miles.

Finally, this half-month visit came to a successful end in the joy of the guests and the two countries.

Early in the morning, under the Zhengyang Gate.

Xiao Xiruo and Feng Wuyan stood at the city gate again and watched the Beiyi delegation and Dayan's family sending team get on the bus.

Before leaving, Xiao Xiruo handed over the first batch of cotton clothes made by the workshop to his brother and told the other party to be careful all the way.

Xiao Yi, the young marshal of Beiliang, who led the troops at a young age, crisscrossed the battlefield, and would not be moved in the face of thousands of troops and horses, but his eyes were red when he said goodbye to his sister.

After a long time, I don't know when I will see you again.

So he went and returned, and gave himself a big bear hug for his sick and weak sister, who only needed to nourish his body, but for Bei Liang's sister.

This hug is an elder brother hugging a sister, but it is also a young marshal hugging a person who sincerely pays for everyone in Beiliang and has been silently supporting them behind their backs.

It is pity, gratitude, and pride.

Just like Xiao Yi said when he waved goodbye to Xiao Xiruo again:

"Once upon a time, my father and I regarded you as the object of protection, thinking that you should hide in the boudoir and sit in the Ming Hall. But now, my brother only has one thing to say, Ruoruo, my brother and father are proud of you. ”

Overlooking the mountains and rivers, watch the mission and the family sending team gradually move away.

Xiao Xiruo couldn't come back to her senses for a long time in this sentence, until Feng Wuyan beside her called her softly, as if he was afraid that she would be sad, and gently patted her back.

Reluctant?

A little bit.

But for the current Xiao Xiruo, what she cares about most is actually the recognition of her by her cheap brother Xiao Yi.

Because she finally didn't feel guilty.

From today on, she is the real Xiao Xiruo.

On the fifth day of the first month of June, the weather gradually became hot and dry, sometimes raining heavily, sometimes scorching sun, which was really not comfortable for a patient like Xiao Xiruo.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs opened the ice cellar early and sent large ice cubes for ice and cooling to Changle Palace.

You must know that almost all the ice in the first two years was supplied to Shoukang Palace.

After all, the emperor is a puppet, the concubine has no real power, and it is not up to the queen mother to decide who the ice is given to or not.

So as soon as the summer came, a group of concubines ran to the Queen Mother with all their strength, some offered their talents, some sent food, and looked forward to staying in the Shoukang Palace for a while, or winning the favor of the Queen Mother and getting a piece of new ice.

But even though they have worked so hard, Queen Mother Hua still won't give them a good face.

The ice that was not used in Shoukang Palace either went to Fengqi Palace, or it was directly transported to the Hua family and the Wang family, the meat was gone, and the soup was estimated to be not much left.

However, this year is not as good as last year, the Queen Mother of Flowers is still the Queen Mother of Flowers, but the harem is no longer last year's harem.

Shaw. Pretentious. Harem Yibaruo said, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is right, come here, this palace has something to tell you.

So in the afternoon of the same day, Haigui rushed into Shoukang Palace crying, and scolded Xiao Guifei for directly detaining all the remaining ice after learning about the annual ice cube consumption of Shoukang Palace.

So much so that when the Hua family came to receive the ice as usual in previous years, the Internal Affairs Office did not dare to give it out.

Because those women in Changle Palace are too domineering, whoever dares to go up will beat them......

"It's the other way around! If she is against the sky, isn't it? The mourning family was still afraid that she would be hot, and as soon as the ice cellar opened, she asked the Internal Affairs Office to send her ice, she, she actually took revenge? ”

In the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager Hua was furious.

The Hua family and the Imperial City have used ice like this all these years, if Xiao Xi doesn't let them take it at this time, isn't this deliberately manipulating them?

So Empress Dowager Hua immediately sent Hua Suyi to Changle Palace, wanting to talk to Xiao Xiruo about this matter.

In the face of Hua Suyi's questioning, Xiao Xiruo, who was leaning on the soft couch, smiled at that time.

Xiao Xiruo: "Is the palace the emperor's palace?" ”

Hua Suyi: "...... Be. ”

Xiao Xiruo: "Then the things in the palace are the emperor's things?" ”

Hua Suyi: "...... Be. ”

So Xiao Xiruo spread his hands and said helplessly:

"Ah Yan's things are the things of the palace, and the palace deducts its own ice for its own use, why do you question the palace? You are shameless with your flowers, don't you want to give money with your flowers? ”

In just a stick of incense, Hua Suyi walked out of Changle Palace.

And Xiao Xiruo's wonderful remark that "the emperor is the palace's" directly spread throughout the harem.

Therefore, from the second day, the concubines who flocked to Shoukang Palace to offer their hospitality collectively changed their positions and went to Changle Palace one by one with a smile.

They seem to have forgotten how they were born in Beiliang, behaved rudely, behaved frivolously, and didn't understand the rules.

Xiao Xiruo is not only not disgusted by their behavior of rushing to post themselves, but also likes to watch their smiling on the surface, but constantly scolding their acting skills in their hearts.

When she got to the back, Xiao Xiruo even ordered someone to vacate a side hall, put ice cubes and chairs, and let these concubines who came to perform for her sit in a circle and play for each other.

As for eating, of course, it's also eating each other!

So in just three days, these people's dances are getting more and more crotch-pulling, and the things they make are becoming more and more unpalatable, and the appearance of disgusting each other is simply a realistic version of palace scheming.

Fortunately, what these people hate the most is her Xiao Xiruo, there is no way, who let Ah Yan spoil her, and give her all the ice~

After another three days, the Empress Dowager Hua, who was so angry that she had acne on her face and smashed things for several days in a row, finally stopped.

I don't know if it was out of faith or boredom, the empress dowager suddenly summoned forty-nine Taoist priests into the palace and prayed for her under the leadership of the Taiqing Taoist.

If it's just a blessing, it's better to say, but on the second day, she summoned the Qintian Prison Supervisor and a group of Qintian Prison officials into the palace, which seems to be deducing something with the Taiqing Daoists......

"The Queen Mother has been in poor health recently, and the servants can only stay on the periphery when they go to report the news. Just listen to what the Taiqing Taoist said, what kind of white rainbow...... By the way, he also said that the black clouds south of Dayan are overpowering, which is a bad omen......"

Xi Yang said intermittently, he thought that this matter was a demonic lie, but he saw that his mother gradually frowned.

Confusion?

White rainbow?

Glowing and guarding? White rainbow through the sun?

Aren't these all words used by the ancients to describe natural disasters?

If Taiqing was just fooling the Empress Dowager Hua, it would be fine, but the recent Dayan was indeed about to have a natural disaster, and even she was tense all the time.

So, is it really calculated that some of the doorways are too clear?

Xiao Xiruo was very puzzled, and her doubts were answered early the next morning.

In the early morning, the Qintian Prison was personally playing, bluntly saying that the white rainbow runs through the sun, the stars in the south appear in the daytime, and the fierce clouds come out, which is a sign that the catastrophe is about to ruin the country and the family.
