At the end of the year, news came from the border pass, saying that the Xiongnu had invaded the border and not only plundered the village, but also occupied Liaocheng. The two thousand officers and soldiers of Liaocheng, along with the people in the city, were slaughtered. The Huns didn't want the city, they only scraped the grain, cloth, gold, silver and jewelry, and left, leaving behind the Liaocheng city full of holes.

On the day the news came back, the emperor was having dinner with Empress Tu, and the atmosphere was very good. As a result, Liu Yunliang, the chief administrator of the emperor's inner chamberlain, came to report the news with a look of urgency.

The emperor put aside his chopsticks and slapped the table angrily: "Who is the general of Liaocheng who defends the city?!" It's so useless! ”

It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor is furious with such an attitude.

Yang Yunxi was still cooking for Empress Tu at that time, and he was almost trembling with fright—the emperor didn't seem to be very scary on weekdays, but in fact, there were few people who were really not afraid of the emperor.

After all, who has been an emperor for so many years, who can withstand the momentum under the anger at this time?

Even Queen Tu was also shocked. But after all, it was an old husband and wife, so Empress Tu quickly calmed down, got up and grabbed the emperor and persuaded softly: "No matter how big the matter, don't be angry." Besides, now is not the time to hold this accountable. ”

Empress Tu's persuasion still worked, and the emperor reluctantly restrained a little, but ordered in a deep voice: "Go to the council room." Summoning the Ministers! Tell the prince and the eldest to come and listen! ”

It is natural to be called the prince, the prince is the prince of a country, and he should participate in politics. However, the emperor's eldest grandson, the emperor, seems to really intend to teach the emperor's eldest grandson to participate in political affairs and handle government affairs.

Also, Yang Yunxi looked at it coldly these days, and he could feel that the emperor did not love the prince very much. But for the emperor's eldest grandson, it is really love. Maybe it's because the emperor's eldest grandson looks like the emperor? And the crown prince is neither like the emperor nor quite like Empress Tu.

Just when Yang Yunxi lowered his head and thought about these things, the emperor had already taken people away.

Queen Tu sighed, reluctantly used two more mouthfuls of food, and then asked someone to accept it. After thinking about it, he ordered: "Ask the imperial dining room to make some simple food and send it to the council room." The emperor just used a little, and he definitely didn't eat enough. There are other people who don't have to eat. ”

Not long after the queen left, the crown princess came over in a hurry.

The crown princess opened her mouth and said: "The emperor called the prince and Da Lang all over." Queen Mother, what happened? "You know, this is dinner time, if something big doesn't happen, why don't you wait until early tomorrow morning.

Queen Tu said everything she had just heard.

The crown princess's face suddenly turned ugly.

Queen Tu looked at the crown princess's face, but guessed what the crown princess was worried about, and immediately said: "Don't worry, although the general is promoted by the crown prince, it is also your mother's family." But it won't implicate you, it's just that the emperor is angry, and when the time comes, reprimand the prince, you tell the prince to be careful, don't anger the emperor recently. What's the matter, let Da Lang speak. ”

The crown princess nodded with a heavy face, and then frowned and worried: "There is such a big thing, this time I must think of fighting back, otherwise wouldn't it be a loss of face?" I just don't know who I'll send. Moreover, such a big thing happened, this is the day when Qing Yu enters the palace after the New Year......"

"Don't worry, no matter what, it is impossible to postpone the wedding. As for who to send, there are so many generals in the DPRK and China, and there are a lot of them! Queen Tu said categorically, and at the end of the day, she glanced at the crown princess and said meaningfully: "You put away your careful thoughts." Otherwise, the emperor will be aware, but I'm afraid it won't be as simple as reprimanding two sentences. It's good that you want to support your mother's family, but you also have to have a degree, and if you don't have that ability, don't think about taking advantage of that pit. ”

The warning is obvious. The crown princess blushed when she spoke.

Yang Yunxi lowered her head more and more, just as if she hadn't heard anything - if she dared to have the slightest strange look at this time, the crown princess would definitely not spare her.

The crown princess really didn't speak again, just sat awkwardly in her chair and fell silent.

Queen Tu didn't speak again, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law just sat quietly, thinking differently.

Because of the massacre of the city, the joy of the New Year has also been diluted a lot. The atmosphere in the palace was even more depressing, a little terrifying, without him, only because the emperor was angry - a young concubine was directly demoted because she was bumped into by the emperor and her smiling face when chatting with people, plus she wore a rose-red dress for the festival. and reprimanded him fiercely, only saying that the concubine did not have any mercy.

In fact, everyone knows that it is not that the concubine really made a big mistake, but that the emperor sprinkled all his anger on her.

The emperor was in a bad mood. Therefore, even on Chinese New Year's Eve, the palace did not dare to celebrate too much. Finally waited until the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and the good news came that day, saying that a group of invading Hun cavalry had been wiped out, and even a little intelligence of the Hun army had been intercepted, and the emperor showed a little smile.

Queen Tu also breathed a sigh of relief, so she ordered that the Lantern Festival could be celebrated and relaxed-if you really can't even relax during the New Year, what will it be?

During the Lantern Festival, fireworks are set off, and Aoshan lanterns are also lit. As long as it's not bad, you can go and see it. But it also has to wait until the masters are gone, after all, the masters are there, who dares to act out of line?

Yang Yunxi hadn't seen the Aoshan lantern yet, so naturally he couldn't help but be pulled by Sui'er. As a result, there were too many people who went, and he and Sui'er were scattered when they were crowded. Fortunately, they are all in the palace, and when they turn around, Sui'er will go back after reading it, but they don't have to worry about losing people.

It's just that she doesn't like this kind of excitement very much, so she plans to go back after watching it for a while.

I don't know which fork in the road she took the wrong way, but the more Yang Yunxi looked at it after walking for a while, the more strange she felt, and only then did she realize that she was probably lost.

It's just that although there is a lamp hanging in this place, there is no one, and it is not easy to find someone to ask. She had to turn around and walk back. It's just that it's dark and she can't make out clearly—she just feels that the more she goes, the more confused she becomes. I can't feel the direction at all.

In this way, she is naturally anxious - when the time comes, the keys will be placed in the various palaces, and if she can't go back at that time, she will be in trouble. Not to mention that she couldn't run away after being found out and punished, the most important thing is that she was scared so late!

In the end, Yang Yunxi thought of a way and decided to follow this road with lights, and then ask for directions when he met someone.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that in the end, she did meet someone, but it was the emperor's eldest grandson.
