Although I had expected a fight for a long time, it was really going to be a war, which still made people's hearts sink.

Fang Yu sat down beside him, and his face was also dyed with sorrow.

"The war is together, and I don't know how many innocents have been injured, no wonder the emperor has trouble sleeping and eating these days."

"Yes, these days, the ministers have quarreled and quarreled, one time the Lord is peace, and the other time is the main battle, and I also have a headache." Pei Yao raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Now the Duke of Qin has sent back the news, saying that a large number of troops have been gathered on the border of Shangyang Kingdom, and it is said that it is a military exercise, but in fact, it is eyeing it." ”

The confrontation between the two sides is a matter of whether the war can start or not.

Looking at the dullness of the young emperor in front of him, Fang Yu silently reached out and gently held his fingertips.

"Since the emperor said that there is an estimated war in the next two days, the emperor must be the main war in his heart."

"What do you think?"

Pei Yao raised his eyes, and his handsome face showed haggard and cold because of the fatigue of the past few days.

When he asked, Fang Yu's face gradually became a little solemn.

It stands to reason that it is a matter of government affairs, and she should not open her mouth as a harem lady, although she usually asks Pei Yao, she will also say a few words, but it is not too important.

But this time it's different, it's about the war between the two countries.

After a moment of silence, Fang Yu said in a low voice.

"Although the concubine does not understand the military, political and state affairs outside, the concubine believes in the emperor, since the emperor is entangled in the war or not, it must be that Daqi and Shangyang still have the strength to fight, even so, the concubine thinks that winning this battle can be exchanged for more than ten years of stability in Daqi."

"But what if you lose?" Pei Yao looked at her with a sharp gaze.

And Fang Yu's face was still calm at the moment.

"Shangyang Kingdom is eyeing my Daqi, if this battle is not fought, we will have to offer jewels, gold and silver, good horses and grains, and even, cede the city, but the concubines know that there is a saying, greed is not enough to swallow elephants, they originally intended to invade my Daqi land, can a momentary small favor dispel their greed?"

Speaking of this, Fang Yu's tone paused.

"If those money and jewels are given to Shangyang Kingdom for nothing, it is better to exchange grain and grass, so that the soldiers can fight with one force, the emperor is still young, if he does not earn this bloody ambition at this moment, when will he wait?"

"Besides, the Shangyang Kingdom is provoking in the north, and those tribes in the west see it in their eyes, once the emperor retreats, they may not unite and want to ask for a benefit."

Fang Yu didn't say what would happen if he lost, he just talked about what might happen if he didn't fight this battle.

After getting along for all these years, she also understands Pei Yao's character.

Pei Yao is the main battle, but in the face of such a big event, people are always under pressure, so they need more support.

At this moment, Fang Yu is doing such a thing.

And after listening to her words, Pei Yao's face also showed a little firmness and relief.

Holding Fang Yu's hand with his backhand, he took a deep breath and said.

"What you said is clearer and clearer than many ministers in the DPRK."

"Your Majesty, don't put a high hat on your concubines."

Fang Yu returned to the delicate appearance of her youngest daughter's house, and looked at Yuan He who came in with a tray.

"The chicken soup is here, the emperor drinks a tonic light, this thin one makes the concubines feel distressed."

Bian personally took the bowl and handed it to Pei Yao.

Her body is also weak and needs to be replenished, so this ginseng chicken soup and other things are prepared in the small kitchen every day.

Pei Yao took it, drank the soup in small sips, and his heart warmed up.

These days are busy with government affairs, and I sit alone in the imperial study for a long time, and everyone is stiff.

Watching him drink the soup, Fang Yu said softly beside him.

"Since the emperor is here, why don't you have lunch and leave, there will be another hour, and you can't delay the emperor for long, the concubine asked the small kitchen to cook a few dishes that the emperor loves to eat, and the emperor just took a break."

Originally, Pei Yao wanted to refuse, he came here to see the child and Fang Yu, and he would sit for half an hour and leave.

There are still excerpts to be approved in the imperial study.

But when I looked up, what caught my eye was the woman's gentle eyes like a warm sun, I don't know if it was because of childbirth, but now Fang Yu's gentle appearance has added the power to soothe people's hearts, so that people's hearts are dependent and close, and they can't bear to refuse.

"It's okay, I'll listen to you." Pei Yao was still relieved.

Soon, the news that the emperor had left lunch in the Yuzhang Palace spread.

Recently, Pei Yao has been so busy, and he knows about the harem in the former dynasty and the harem, and at this time, he also took the time to go to Yuzhang Palace for lunch, which can be seen that he is favored.

Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Yang was reading a book, and Yun Qian was sitting next to her doing needlework.

It is to sew new clothes for the three princes.

She is not favored, and she can only curry favor with the Yang family from these small places, although the third prince is not valued by Concubine Yang, but now she is still Concubine Yang's only son.

At this time, Si Qi went to see the third prince and came in from outside.

"Niangniang, the third prince has already taken medicine, and he has a little cough today, maybe it was because he went out to breathe yesterday and caught the wind, but the doctor said it didn't matter."

"Just don't worry, how can a child not get sick." Concubine Yang said lightly, putting down the book in her hand, "Is the medicine in this palace boiled?" ”

What Concubine Yang values more is to take care of her body.

"The slave has seen it, and it takes a stick of incense." Si Qi replied.

It was also at this time, after a pause, he said in a low voice, "By the way, Niangniang, the slave maid just heard that the emperor went to the Yuzhang Palace, and he hasn't left yet, so he probably wants to keep lunch." ”

Hearing the sound, Concubine Yang and Yun Qian looked over together.

After a while, Concubine Yang sneered.

"The emperor really loves her, and at this time, he still takes the time to look at their mother and son, and I don't know what to see about that pair of sick seedlings, plus a girl."

"It's not Concubine Zhao's fox, who has played tricks that can't be used to seduce people." Si Qi took a sip.

Yun Qian pursed her lips, "But since the emperor has time to come to the harem, can't it be that the previous dynasty has relaxed?" ”

"Probably not." Concubine Yang raised her chin slightly, "It stands to reason that this battle must be fought, and the big war is imminent, how can the emperor be at ease." ”

She said this, Yun Qian thought about it, and said it again.

"But in the end, our news, I'm afraid it may not be accurate, the emperor rarely came to the harem, why don't you ask someone to find out?"

Thinking that it was related to his brother's future, Yang narrowed his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he still beckoned Si Qi to come forward.

After whispering a few words, Si Qi walked out quickly.

When Pei Yao finished his lunch in the Yuzhang Palace and returned to the imperial study, he met Xie Meiren who was standing in the cold wind and had been waiting for a long time on the road.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must be filial.

Xie Meiren is dressed like this today.

The plain white cape, which is equipped with a pink and white jacket skirt, the black hair is combed into a fairy bun, and only a few pearls are simply decorated on it, and a tassel lily silver hairpin, which is elegant and delicate.

It has been blowing in the cold wind for a long time, and the tips of the eyebrows and nose are slightly red, and with those watery apricot eyes, it really looks like a rabbit in the snow.
