The imperial aunt walked in, and after giving a perfunctory salute to Emperor Shun, she helped Mu Lingci up.

Li Wanxi is the eldest sister of Emperor Shun, in the early years, when Emperor Shun was a naughty child, he was brought up by this eldest sister, and they all said that the eldest sister was like a mother, and Emperor Shun did treat her as a mother.

She is already over half a hundred years old, but she is still radiant, and the years have passed without leaving a trace on her face. If someone who doesn't know her sees her, they will definitely think that she is a beautiful woman in her thirties.

Emperor Shun hurriedly waved his hand and asked Gonggong Qi to send the maids of the Yellow Gate who served in the palace, and closed the palace door by the way.

"Eldest sister, didn't you enjoy the paintings at the queen's place, why did you come here?"

"Naturally, I came to share my worries for the saint, Cangyuan is a natural general, but he has been succumbing to Honglu Temple all these years. This child has a hard life, and he has a mediocre and incompetent father, who is obviously an eagle soaring in the sky, but he can only be tethered in the garden all day long, and now he has a great opportunity to earn merit, but the saint does not let him, what is the reason? ”

"Eldest sister, Mu family ......"

"The saint is unwilling to give up the Mu family, so he will wait for Cangyuan to return victoriously and find a lady for him, get married as soon as possible, and spread out as soon as possible."

Li Wanxi has long wanted to find a wife for him, but he is just an elm pimple, and he just wants to focus on picking up his clothes and reinvigorating the prestige of the Mu family.

Mu Lingci wanted to speak out loud, but met Li Wanxi's eyes. He moved his lips and swallowed the words back.

"Since the eldest sister also thinks that Cangyuan is feasible to go on the expedition, let him go." Emperor Shun had no choice but to take Li Wanxi, and the statement of blood suppression was vividly reflected in their sister and brother.

"Proposed to order, ordered Honglu Temple Shaoqing Mu Ling to resign to General Xuanwei, worship the forward to give the Xuantie Tiger Talisman, and lead the five thousand Xuanjia Army to obey the order. Yunlu General Su Jingtian, bowed to the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses to give the military camp a tiger talisman and led 20,000 elite soldiers to obey the order. ”

The Xuanjia Army is the most elite army of the Northern Holy Dynasty, and when Emperor Shun pacified the Quartet, these soldiers underwent the most brutal training, and only those who can survive can become a qualified Xuanjia soldier. And they were trained by Mu Yichuan himself, and ordinary generals were not worthy of dispatching the Xuanjia Army at all.

"Minister, thank you for the fulfillment of the saints." The boulder that Mu Lingci had been pressing on his heart for many years finally fell to the ground.

Half a month later, Bolu Guo led the iron cavalry to invade the border of the Northern Sage, Mu Lingci wore a black armor and fought fiercely with the enemy, and the Tubo ambush soldiers took advantage of the steep terrain to raid the Northern Sage army, but they were annihilated by the Xuanjia army that Mu Lingci had already set up an ambush.

The Northern Sage won the first battle, and Emperor Shun's hanging heart relaxed a little.

The rumor that Mu Lingci was going out for the princess spread on the second day after he left the capital, and many people were secretly mocking Lou Yunxiao, thinking that she had really captured Mu Lingci's heart, but he didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Mu Lingci resolutely went to attack Bolu for the sake of the princess of his childhood sweetheart, and Lou Yunxiao became a joke on the cusp for a while.

On this day, Lou Yunshuang returned to the mansion with large bags of things, and Fu Yuewei's eyes straightened when she saw these treasures. Lou Yunshuang said a few words and went straight to Fuguangxuan.

"Sister? How did you get back? Lou Yunxiao looked at Lou Yunshuang in front of her in surprise, how long has she been married, not only her complexion is ruddy, but her temperament and demeanor are no different from that of a noble lady.

"Eldest brother, Xiao'er, I have something to say to you."

Lou Xuanyi nodded slightly, and ordered Zhengde to close the door of Fuguangxuan.

"Xiao'er, the little ladies in the city have been talking a lot these days, and they all say that General Mu is going to attack Bolu for the sake of Princess Changhe, do you know about this?" Lou Yunshuang held Lou Yunxiao's little hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.

Lou Yunxiao suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart, it turned out that he had never come to Loufu, he was running for Princess Changhe and his relatives, and now he even gave up literature and martial arts for the princess.

"Who is General Mu going out for, what does this matter to me?" Lou Yunxiao's expression was as usual, and she still acted indifferent.

"General Mu sacrificed his life to save you that day, how many people thought that he fell in love with you at first sight, and everyone humiliated you in private during that time, but later Fengbian told me that General Mu had sent someone to beat a tavern shopkeeper who said bad things about you, and then several people were beaten one after another, and they were all people who spoke ill of you, and the rumors in the capital slowly subsided."

He did such a thing for himself? Lou Yunxiao fell into deep thought, could he really be pleased with himself?

Lou Xuanyi on the side was even more puzzled, Mu Cangyuan loved his sister, he didn't even notice it, and he still regarded Mu Cangyuan as a confidant.

"Perhaps, he only took care of me because of my brother." Lou Yunxiao gave them a relatively reasonable explanation, after all, that guy had never expressed his heart to her personally, and she didn't want to be a self-inflicted woman.

But the world doesn't think so, they keep saying that you are delusional, and some people even say it even worse, which is simply unbearable. Sister knows that you are not afraid of heaven and earth, but this overwhelming abuse is fatal to a woman. Lou Yunshuang looked at her worriedly.

Lou Yunxiao suddenly asked with a nervous expression: "By the way, Zhao Mansion didn't embarrass you because of my business, right?" ”

"Don't worry, Zhao Gong's family treats me very well, Fengbian knows that I am worried about you, and I bought a lot of treasures for me to take back to my parents' house, but all of them were taken away by my mother."

Lou Yunxiao was relieved when she heard this answer, she was more concerned about the safety of the people around her than her own safety.

"Xiao'er, don't care too much about other people's words, the so-called gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative. Whatever they like to say is up to them. Lou Xuanyi said with relief.

"I don't care, what's more, I never thought that General Mu had anything in mind about me, it was just speculation from beginning to end, and now that he went to war for the princess, it just proves that General Mu is not interested in me, and it's too late for me to be happy."

She turned her back to Lou Xuanyi and Lou Yunshuang, and placed the scrolls in her arms on the bookshelf one by one, they couldn't see her expression clearly, and they couldn't figure out her tone.

In the princess's mansion in Anxing Lane, Li Wanxi took a sip of sweet wine from the golden jade forging, the expression on her face was extremely indifferent, but the princess Changhe opposite her was full of spring breeze.

"Auntie, this sweet wine is brewed by Changhe himself, I wonder if my aunt still likes it?" Princess Changhe asked cautiously.

"Okay." Li Wanxi put it down after only tasting it, and said bluntly: "If the princess has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, you don't have to use these things to please me." ”

Princess Changhe's smile stiffened on her face, and she said embarrassedly: "Changhe just wants to do his filial piety, after all, when Cangyuan comes back, Changhe and his aunt will be close to each other, and they will serve by their aunt's side every day in the future." ”

"Kiss and kiss?" Li Wanxi sneered, "Does the princess want to marry us?" But Cangyuan didn't mention to me that he was going to marry the princess. Besides, even if Cangyuan wants to marry you, I won't allow it. ”

Princess Changhe was anxious when she heard this, "But it is rumored in the capital that Cangyuan went on the expedition for Changhe, which is a sure thing, why didn't my aunt allow it?" ”

"Don't think I don't know, those rumors were all spread by you, so slandering a little lady of a Qingliu official eunuch family, and how to behave in the future! The dignified Northern Saint Princess, acting so unscrupulously, is really a good princess taught by Concubine Shen Shu! Li Wanxi stood up and continued: "Cangyuan's marriage, I have to discuss and decide with the Zhongguo Gong, Princess Changhe should find another good son-in-law as soon as possible, send off guests!" ”

Princess Changhe took a slap and left the princess's mansion in a gloomy manner.

Spring is coming, Lou Xuanyi no longer pretends to be sick, Fu Yuewei was so angry that she lost sleep for several days after knowing it, but Lou Qihuai was so happy that she couldn't sleep all day. Previously, because of Lou Yunxiao's rumors, Lou Qihuai and Fu Yuewei almost used family law against her, but fortunately, Lou Xuanyi came forward to calm down.

A few days later, Lou Xuanyi entered the examination room, there were nine days of spring, Lou Qihuai did not think about food, and even placed a statue of Confucius in the bedroom, a statue of Buddha, and prayed every day.

Lou Yunxiao also got free because of her brother's entrance examination, and it was time to remove the nails in Canglan Zhai.
