Since the beginning of November, the cold weather has shrouded Jinyang, and on the fifth and sixth days of the first month, snow has fallen in the sky, and with the goose-feather-like snow flakes falling, the ancient city of Jinyang is wrapped in a thick white coat.

The sky is cold, these days, the snow is gradually getting smaller, followed by a rare sunny weather, the snow on the ground is already a little thick, but this is not to the extent of hindering people from traveling, the court still has to go to the court.

However, with the news that the queen is pregnant, the rules have also changed slightly, this is the emperor's first child, and the top and bottom are very cherished, the emperor is afraid that the queen will be sad to meet the wives, and specially instructed that all red tape will be waived, and it is also hoped that the queen can quickly complete this process and have a good rest.

Therefore, before evening, the wives in the Jiafu Palace dispersed early. Leaving only a few women of the same age to sit there, Empress Hulu exhaled with relief, called the palace maid to take off the phoenix crown, and carried such a heavy thing on her head, feeling like hanging an iron ball, in less than an hour, a shallow red mark had been strangled on her white and smooth forehead, and it was really uncomfortable to wear this thing. After being by Gao Wei's side for a long time, she was affected very quickly, in the past, she could wear this body and sit silently all day, but now she only let her sit for a while, she feels uncomfortable, and sure enough, the woman becomes squeamish as soon as she is pregnant. Hum...... They were all taken by His Majesty......

A wise smile flashed in her eyes, her little nose wrinkled slightly, and her beautiful and delicate face was dyed red. Casually placing the phoenix crown decorated with gold and jade on the lacquer plate, she looked around at the "sisters" and cleared her throat:

"It's cold, so I won't keep you anymore...... Pay attention to safety on the way back, be careful of slipping, the palace is raising a fetus, and I am afraid that there is not much energy to deal with some trivial matters, so look for Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui for anything. ”

Several women stood up, bowed their heads, respectfully said yes, and then dispersed. I saw that the emperor's most respected and favored Empress Hulu had been holding the shelf for a long time and suddenly disappeared, Wan'er casually pulled a soft pillow, posed and lay on her side, "Oh, my waist is really sore...... " While saying it, she also hammered her waist and legs with her own hands, and several palace ladies hurriedly rushed over to give her vitality. Wan'er closed her eyes and let them do it, that comfortable appearance, not to mention making people envious, jealous and hateful.

Although the queen's belly is the emperor's first blood and blood, it is extremely noble, but it is too exaggerated to make it like this, after the queen is pregnant with a child, there is a pleasure of raising her eyebrows and exhaling that her daughter-in-law has been boiling into a mother-in-law for many years, and she is about to float to the sky!

The remaining two concubines, who were generally slightly younger than the queen, glanced at each other helplessly, and then asked aloud:

"Dare to ask the queen mother, what does the mother want the two of us to be responsible for?"

"Well...... in fact, you don't need to be responsible for anything, if there is a situation in the palace, you can take the time to solve it, and there will be female officials to assist you......" Wan'er waved her hand, her tone was lazy, "Actually, it's very manageable, Your Majesty's harem is only five people in total, there are no more, and there are no miscellaneous troubles such as concubines competing for favor, that is, keeping an eye on a little order or something, don't make a mess, and ......"

She suddenly thought of something, and sat up, "There is also Baoqing's girl, that is a leather monkey, Your Majesty is used to her, and she has been raised in the wild, you must be careful, don't let her toss blindly...... Forget it, Bengong is not at ease, Bengong should keep an eye on it by himself. ”

Concubine Hui took a step forward, two small dimples appeared on her cute apple face, and she covered her mouth and smiled: "Niangniang, rest, Baoqing's maiden concubine is also familiar, have you forgotten that I was her playmate in the past?" Don't worry, I'll keep and teach her to be safe. ”

"That's right," Wan'er remembered, stunned for a moment, then patted her forehead, and said distressedly: "It's said that I've been pregnant for three years, but I've only been two months old, and my memory is obviously not good...... Yes, she will listen to what you say, that's good, that's good, I'm the biggest headache for her! ”

"Niangniang will also have a headache Baoqing? The concubine thought that only Baoqing would have a headache. ”

Concubine Chen Yue'er couldn't help laughing. As soon as she heard that Concubine Shu had something to say, Wan'er immediately became vigilant, and the majesty of the queen came up, straightened her waist, looked at these two suspiciously, and asked, "Is she secretly talking bad about me behind her back?" ”

"How dare she? She's afraid you'll beat her, but ...... It's just ......"

"Just what?" Wan'er's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was already a little dangerous.

"It's just that she occasionally says Niangniang, you have nothing to do every day, so you know to stare at her in front of Your Majesty to make a small report......" Concubine Hui's cheeks were slightly bulging, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she was a Baoqing again, learning the little girl's melancholy tone and said: "'When am I a head this day'"

Wan'er couldn't hold back the serious face that she deliberately fiddled with, glanced at the two of them, and then snorted, pursed her lips and shook her head and smiled.

"Nonsense...... I...... How can I make a small report every day? When I'm willing to take care of her, it's really ......."

"Hey, the truth you just learned, another ......"

"No, I'm not a juggler...... If you don't let Yue'er have one, she will learn more than me. ”

"No, no, no...... Don't play tricks on me, I won't fall for this, hum......"

"Humph......"

This concubine and concubine Hui are naturally the princess Chen Yue'er of the Southern Dynasty, and the daughter of Tang Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Tang Girl, whose name is Tang Hui.

Tang Hui only entered the palace more than two months ago, and as soon as she entered the palace, she was named Concubine Hui. Although he hasn't met the emperor a few times so far, his position is really high. Generally speaking, it is against common sense to give such a high position, but the emperor is not a person who likes to play cards according to common sense, and he has been quarreled with the queen mother and a bunch of clan ministers about the issue of no heirs for nearly two years, and the emperor is also very annoyed, so he simply chose two imperial concubines to enter the palace.

One is the daughter of the military department, the other is the niece of the queen mother, the imperial concubine of the four palaces is already complete, on the one hand, the clan is blocked, especially the queen mother's nagging, you have already accepted your niece, don't make a fuss, right?

On the one hand, he clearly told everyone that the road to promotion had been blocked, and it no longer made much sense to try to stuff people in.

In the eyes of outsiders, how favored does the queen have to be for the emperor to do this? However, in terms of data, it is difficult for the emperor to stay in the harem for half a month a month, and it is too exaggerated to say that the emperor really likes the queen to the extent that other women don't even look at it. According to Chen Yue'er and Tang Hui's continuous analysis, they came to a conclusion that the emperor is a typical career-oriented man who loves the country more than beauty, not that he doesn't like beautiful women, but that man doesn't like beautiful women? What's more, he is still legally in possession, everything is just because he is too busy, and every day is the Taiji Hall and the Xuanzheng Palace. He seldom touches flowers, probably for this reason, and in his opinion, those twists and turns are always more vivid and interesting than beautiful women.

In this era, when a woman marries and obeys her husband, doesn't she rely on her husband's love to live?

Since Chen Yue'er knew that the "little eunuch" that day was the emperor himself, she was panicked for a while, for fear of contact with the emperor, and even more afraid that one day a chamberlain would come over with a holy decree and throw her into the dark cold palace.

After a long time, I found that nothing had happened.

She is still her own concubine, and the emperor is still the same as the Taiji Hall and the Xuanzheng Palace.

The well water does not interfere with the river water.

Chen Yue'er is a very Buddhist person, and many times she can't help but rejoice in her heart, it's good that she can live like this for the rest of her life.

But after seeing the queen's pride today, her feelings are similar to the other three, she can't get rid of it for a long time, and she is a little sour......

………………

Gao Wei is in the Taiji Palace, naturally he doesn't know what happened in Jiafu Palace, and he can't feel the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the girls, he has more important things to deal with now. There are a few plum blossom trees planted in the apse of the Taiji Palace, only a few buds have bloomed, but it seems that they can smell the refreshing cold fragrance, the attendants hang their heads in the inconspicuous corners, and occasionally a few sporadic snowflakes fall on them, and the sculpture is generally not moving.

Gao Wei was accompanied by Murong Yan, the prime minister of the left, and while taking a leisurely walk, he whispered about the important government affairs.

“…… Chen Guo moved, the speed was very fast, divided into several large armies, in batches to pull out Jiangling, the old man estimated, with Zhang Zhaoda's personality, Chen Guo came up, he would definitely launch an extremely sharp offensive, Jiangling was in a worrying situation......"

"According to the left side, is it possible for Chen Guo to take Jiangling in this battle?" Cushman & Wakefield's expression was very serious.

"It's difficult, in the eyes of Lao Chen, even if Chen Guo comes out with tens of thousands of elites this time, the odds of winning are still not ten percent, and even seventy percent is barely ......."

Murong Yan shook his head, the veteran was silently calculating the upcoming battle situation in his heart at the moment, and then came to such a conclusion.

"Chen Guo has no less than 100,000 elite soldiers, and there are more generals such as Zhang Zhaoda, and the armament, grain and grass are also very sufficient, and he plans to decide the battle situation in Jiangling at one time, so ...... Isn't it more than 80% sure? Cushman looked at him suspiciously.

Murong Yan still shook his head and said: "Although Zhang Zhaoda is powerful, but the old Lu Teng is also not old, and Wang Cao has a rear for him, and the military strength should not be underestimated, even if Zhang Zhaoda wins the first battle in one go, but if Lu Teng guards the city, what can Zhang Zhaoda do to him for a while?" If it drags on for a while, Zhou Guo should send troops to help, and Chen Guo won't be able to take much advantage......"

Cushman & Wakefield: "There are too many variables, they are all famous generals, and no one dares to go to the table to bet on who wins or loses." ”

"Yes, there are too many variables...... Murong Yan sighed slightly, and when he said this, he paused and looked at Gao Wei hesitantly, "Your Majesty, perhaps...... We should have done some preparation sooner......"

………………

Scattered snow drifted down from the sky, and on the river, the shadows of sails blocked the view ahead.

Looking down from above, the ships were overwhelmingly like locusts.

Countless red-clothed and brown-armored Chen soldiers held swords and spears, standing solemnly on the bow of the ship.

In the cold fog ahead, the same dense shadow of the ship gradually emerged from the water......

General Chen, who led the warship, watched coldly as they gradually approached, and only after reaching a suitable distance did he put down the raised hand.

Cold commands came out of his teeth, word by word.

- Drumming!! Permit! Prepare! Enter! Attack!! ”

………………

Chen Li was built for three years in the Southern Dynasty, and Chen Guo went north to Jiangling.
