The capital is still prosperous and orderly, things are going according to plan, and the threat of Prince Heng's collusion with the Ming family to hide in the shadows in the capital is gradually decreasing.

After the Ming elder was grounded, the second master of the Ming family always went wrong inexplicably in his position, and was bitten by others.

Ming Jiazhen tried to use connections to resolve the crisis for the Ming family, but it didn't have much effect, Ming Lanying told the queen about this as fun, the queen smiled, in the court, in the officialdom, where is the place where a group of children can intervene.

Just when the Ming family was about to fall to the bottom, the emperor reused the third master of the Ming Dynasty, first promoted, and then handed over various important things to him to do, for a while, there was no other limelight, and even the children of many high-ranking families rushed to tie up with Ming Jiazhen and the third lady of the Ming family, as if the current Ming family was supported by the Ming third room.

The emperor suppressed the second master of the Ming family and the elder of the three dynasties, and on the other hand, he reused the third master of the Ming family, which made people a little confused, and the holy will was unpredictable.

There are already conspiracy theories speculating that the emperor wants to promote the third child of the Ming family to the position of the Ming boss, and some ministers who are good at tending to the flames and attaching power have privately begun to exchange gifts with the three rooms of the Ming family.

The queen was afraid that Ming Lanying would mind, so she explained to her: "The siege of the city must be que, the poor are not chasing, one is collected and one is released, leaving a gap when surrounding the enemy, if you want to give the enemy despair, you must first give the other party hope, and then you can better grasp it, and it will not give them the opportunity to detect and resist desperately." ”

Ming Lanying nodded, "Don't worry, Niangniang, although I don't understand this, I am not confused."

The queen patted her with relief, "I know that you are smart, but you still have to explain your words, so as not to misunderstand." ”

Ming Lanying smiled and stretched out her hand to caress the queen's belly, "How the Ming family has nothing to do with the courtiers, the courtiers only hope that the mother and the little prince are safe and healthy." ”

The queen lovingly took her hand and put it on her slightly bulging belly, "How do you know it's the little prince?" What if it's the little princess? ”

Ming Lanying pursed her lips and smiled, "The courtiers guessed, the queen mother's appetite has risen sharply recently, and she is easily tired all day long, only the little prince can eat so much and make trouble, the queen mother is a blessed person, and she will definitely be a little prince." ”

The queen was also pregnant for the first time, and she knew that Ming Lanying was making her happy, but she also believed her words.

"I'm really hungry when you say that, can you eat with me?"

"It is better for a courtier to be respectful than to obey her fate."

The queen's belly has been four months, and it is still winter in the capital now, and it will not be discovered if it is covered by heavy winter clothes.

Ming Lanying knew that animals had spirituality, so she specially asked the Golden Eagle King and Xiao San to take a look, and asked the old koi in the East Palace, and they all said that the queen was a boy in her belly, so she dared to make the queen happy, pregnant, and it was more important to be happy.

In the evening, after Ye Jielu came to pick her up and go home, Ming Lanying also quietly told him about it, Ye Jielu was stunned, she didn't expect her magical ability to be used like this!

Ye Jielu took Ming Lanying's hand and squeezed it gently, and couldn't help but show a shallow smile, "The lady is so powerful." ”

Ming Lanying couldn't help grinning, since the two confirmed their relationship, Ye Jielu frequently laughed in front of her, as if he knew that Ming Lanying liked his face, so he often seduced quietly.

Ming Lanying was kept in the dark and didn't notice it at all, but Hebai was almost blind, as soon as Ye Jielu arrived in front of Ming Lanying, he was like a peacock opening the screen, and even waited for Minglanying to get up every morning to practice swords, and specially danced to her, the more excited Ming Lanying was when his eyes stayed on him.

When the sky was hazy and darkening at night, the porter came to report that the goods delivered by two mule carts outside the house to Ming Lanying had arrived.

Ming Lanying asked suspiciously, and Steward Wang replied: "Mrs. Hui, they don't know, they said that it was sent by the prefect of Biansai, and it was full of two large cars, and it was still very sinking." ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, and her intuition told her that what Ming Langtao sent would not be a good thing, and she looked left and right and didn't find Hebai, so she took Ye Jielu to receive the goods.

The delivery person also brought a letter, Ming Lanying opened it and took a look, Ming Langtao said two words, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much, Lanying's sister can't come back, the third cousin is afraid that you will be lonely, so I specially sent something for recreation, be sure to smile." ”

Ming Lanying rolled her eyes speechlessly, lifted the curtain and saw that the wooden box more than one meter wide was full of carriages, and waved her hand to let Steward Wang carry the things in the carriage into the study, and gave the delivery guy a generous hard fee.

Ye Jielu almost forgot that Ming Langtao had not officially taken office, if it weren't for the fact that the edict given by the emperor had not been written, the edict of his prefect would have expired long ago.

Ming Lanying then remembered that there was time to take office, "He hasn't been in office for so long, won't the edict be overdue?" ”

Ye Jielu shook his head, "He was specially transferred to Biansai to govern, and he wrote a decree that he would not return to Beijing without an edict, and the emperor only gave him the right, not the time, he could stay in Biansai as long as he wanted." ”

Ming Lanying asked in surprise: "So good!" What about his family? Don't want it all? ”

"The family is a handle in the capital, just a trick to fool the Ming family, the Ming family thinks that as long as his family is still in the Ming family, they will not betray the Ming family, and they went to Biansai to monitor me for the Ming family, thinking that he will return to Beijing one day."

Ming Lanying shook her head, "Then he is really ruthless, doesn't he still have a few children?" ”

Ye Jielu wanted to speak and stopped, "He doesn't care about that, in fact, ...... He wants to be a monk more, see through the world, be free and free without intrigue, have a pure heart and few desires, and concentrate on cultivating Buddhism. ”

Ming Lanying was shocked, Ming Langtao was so dedicated to the Buddha! Thanks to his suave and prodigal appearance, the old thief still values him so much, and as a result, he actually raised him out of Buddha nature!

"Disrespectful ......"

Ye Jielu pursed his lips, "That's his business, you don't have to care." ”

Ming Lanying poked his arm funny, "I know, now I'm going to look at the ledger again." ”

Ye Jielu held her messy hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't be too tired, he is not in a hurry to take office anyway, and he is living comfortably now." ”

This time, Ming Lanying refused, and said seriously about these account books, "That's not possible, he and Meng Huaisu are tied together, Meng Huaisu is now Dong Xia's fiancé, he, the prefect, took office early, so that Meng Huaisu can do something big, how to live a good life with Dong Xia without any ability!" ”

Ye Jielu smiled dumbly, "Okay, accompany the lady for the husband." ”

Ming Lanying yawned, saw that the sky was a lot darker, and slowly shook back to the house, "It's just a few boxes of account books, I can see them myself, you are busy with yours, let us go back to the side as soon as possible." ”

Ye Jielu answered, followed her into the house with her hind feet, and brought the latch with her backhand.

Ye Jielu looked at Shang Ming Lanying's questioning eyes, and said without changing his face: "It's cold, and it takes too much firewood and carbon to burn the earth, so you can save one room." ”

Ming Lanying, who was sensitive to money, was speechless, "...... Yes. ”

Early the next morning, Taiyi brought the news from Biansai, and looked for Ye Jielu with a condensed expression, Ye Jielu was still holding the soft girl in the gentle township, and was forced to get up to deal with the bad things.

The early morning mist shrouded it, and the winter in the capital entered the snow-melting stage, and the cold was still so cold.

Ye Jielu got out of bed lightly and went out, put on a coat and stood under the eaves to listen to Taiyi's reply, and his sword eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

"Has Yongzhou City been controlled by Prince Heng? How many troops can be mobilized in the vicinity? ”

"Yes, Yongzhou City can only enter and not go out now, there has been no war in recent years, Yongzhou City is located in the center of the territory, even if it is close to the border fortress, it can't transfer too many troops, counting the 50,000 troops prepared in advance by the border fortress, the total number of troops that can be mobilized is only 250,000."

It is known that Prince Heng has about 300,000 Tibetan troops in Yongzhou City, and they can only mobilize 250,000, and this difference of 50,000 troops is already a big problem of disparity in combat power.

If the ability of the leading generals is excellent, it can make up for the disparity of the 50,000 troops, but the problem is that the outstanding generals are guarding the frontier territory at the other end, and they cannot be easily transferred back.

At present, the best general who is closest to Yongzhou City and can lead troops to make up for the disparity in strength, and only one can be caught, but Ye Jielu has to guard the imperial city to avoid civil strife.

Ye Jielu's expression was cold, Prince Heng controlled Yongzhou City as they expected, but the time was much earlier than they expected.

After all, they are not fools, they have set up a lot of obstacles along the way from Biansai to Yongzhou City, Prince Heng must know that the emperor is going to deal with him, but no one on the surface of the face first tore his face, Prince Heng's first step is to control Yongzhou City, and the second step is to reorganize his troops into the capital.

But Prince Heng has been dissipating the prince for so many years, and he also has a good idea of the country's troops, and how to say that he can also transfer more than 200,000 troops to compete with him near Yongzhou City, Prince Heng does not want to lose before entering the capital, so he will definitely have a backup preparation.

Ye Juelu lowered his eyes and looked at Taiyi, "Let people continue to stare at it, and if there is any action, it will be replied immediately." ”

"Yes." Taiyi bowed his head, and thought that there was still Prince Heng's palace in the capital, "There are still concubines and concubines in Prince Heng's mansion, there are many people, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on them?" ”

Ye Jielu pondered for a while and waved his hand, "Don't care, just let the Imperial City Guards look at it." ”

"Yes."

As soon as Taiyi's words fell, the person disappeared into the courtyard lightly, leaving not even a trace of smell.

Ye Jielu warmed up at the door, dispelled the cold around him before entering the house, the earth dragon warmed the room under the thick carpet, Ye Jielu slowly walked to the bed, the whole body was already warm and hot, and climbed into bed lightly, and hugged his sleeping lover again.

Ming Lanying felt a familiar breath in a daze, woke up with a snort, and muttered, "What's wrong?" ”

The soft voice also had a bit of nasality when he got up in the morning, Ye Jielu hugged her tightly, buried his head in the side of her neck and took a deep breath, "It's not a big deal, Prince Heng is now in control of Yongzhou City, and he intends to draw a line with the capital, which is expected." ”

Ming Lanying yawned, since it was Ye Jielu's expectation, then she didn't have to think about it, she rolled over and rolled into his warm arms, "Prince Heng should still have someone in the court, right?" There will definitely be trouble then, what are those people going to do? ”

"During this period, the emperor will send people to dig them out one by one and dispose of them, and pulling out fifty or sixty percent is almost enough to hit him hard."

He answered whatever Ming Lanying asked, Ye Jielu never said more about these things to her, and Ming Lanying could always guess seven or eight points based on her own guesses, which surprised Ye Jielu.

Ming Lanying wanted to sleep a little longer, and muttered before his consciousness settled: "If he wants to rebel, everyone will definitely make trouble when the time comes, and since he controls Yongzhou City, he will definitely brainwash the people of Yongzhou City first." Either under the banner of conforming to the will of heaven, or under the banner of righteousness, we must beware of whether there is any one of his people in Si Tianjian, or check whether there is an edict of the first emperor......"

"Isn't it good to be a carefree prince? I have to grab a tired and tired throne......"

Ye Jielu hummed in a low voice, wrote down her words, and agreed with her last complaint, and waited for Ming Lanying's breathing to gradually calm down, and then gently leaned over her cheeks and rubbed them, the two heads snuggled together, and closed their eyes to recuperate.

His sweetheart always brings unexpected surprises, making him more and more reluctant to let go, and he can't wait to take her with him every day and put her within reach.

The sky was bright, Hebai took Ning Er to fight a set of punches, and after half an hour of basic skills, Ming Lanying and Ye Jielu came out of the house.

As soon as Ming Lanying yawned and came out, she was startled by the two upside-down figures outside the door, supported by the white hands on the left, standing upside down, and greeted her without changing her face.

Ning Er on the right also supported her hands, trying to straighten her small body, her heels leaned lightly on the door panel, her little face was flushed, the sweat on her forehead condensed into droplets and slid down, and she gritted her teeth to support her, and when she saw Ming Lanying coming out, she also gritted her teeth and greeted good morning, "Mother...... Good morning ......"

The wolf cub also thoughtfully put his head on Ning'er's head and lowered it, quietly as a soft cushion, "Woo! The host is early! ”

"Good morning, good morning, good morning, oh Ning'er, how long has this lasted? Faces are red, come down. ”

Ming Lanying felt sorry for her baby son and wanted to reach out to help him down, but Hebai hurriedly stopped him.

"Sister-in-law, don't move! It's just a little time to stick incense, this is for Ning'er to exercise! I started laying the foundation when I was five years old, and it's not too early for Ning'er to start now. ”

"Mother...... I'm fine......"

Ming Lanying frowned and looked at Ye Jielu, her eyes were full of distress, Ye Jielu glanced at her son who didn't tremble with his arms, and he was relieved to go to the dining room first with Ming Lanying in his arms.

"Don't worry, Hebai knows in his heart, Ning'er's body is also strong, and Ning'er has grown a lot in places you can't see, this handstand can be done well."

Ming Lanying looked back suspiciously, and saw Ning Er blushing and grinning, smiling brightly at her, her big eyes flashing with mottled and hazy dots of light, and the little boy was full of vitality and vitality.

Ming Lanying breathed a sigh of relief, and summoned Xiao San to go to the dining room to wait for Hebai and Ning'er to finish their morning exercises, and then have breakfast together.

What kind of animal looks at pregnant women pregnant with men and women is pure nonsense, don't take it seriously, look at a lively _(:з"∠)_
