It's half past September.

The battle situation in northern Xinjiang is in a scorching state.

The farther the battle went, the colder the weather became, and Shangyang also knew that it would be more difficult to fight in winter, so after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it increased its troops more and more.

At the beginning of September, it broke through two city passes in one fell swoop and forced our army back more than 60 miles.

However, Qin Guogong was not in a hurry, and after adjusting his strategy in time, he recaptured the lost territory and advanced a lot.

There are military exploits and the like, needless to say, and a large number of people.

Liu Qin's performance during this period was also more eye-catching, and he cooperated with Huo Mingxuan and fought a lot of beautiful battles.

The military report handed over mentioned many times that this pair of civil and military partners who were less than twenty years old, and for a while, Pei Yao was also quite curious about these two young people.

Presumably, Song Liangyuan's younger brother is worse, but he is not idle, and he still has made some contributions.

However, it is obvious that he is more suitable for the path of a pure civilian official, unlike Liu Qin, who is more talented in the art of war.

But the meritorious service of these people is really nothing in the face of the big war situation, and if the final battle is not won, all the credit will be in vain.

The soldiers are clear, and Pei Yao knows better.

Shangyang sent additional troops, and Daqi could not be left behind.

Pei Yao also drew manpower from the garrisons all over the country, organized an army of 100,000, and rushed to the frontier.

As far as Daqi is concerned, he doesn't want to stretch the front longer, and it is best to end this war completely before the cold winter.

Nanning Houfu had 30,000 horses in his hands, so this time he took the initiative to write a book, sent out 20,000 people, and united with the local garrison in Huizhou to gather 30,000 people.

After Yang Chengyu's embarrassment last time, he also came up with some beautiful achievements one after another, so Nanning Hou is still very willing to spend money for his son's future.

Especially in the harem, the queen is pregnant, and Concubine Yang's situation is not good, so Nanning Hou also wants to try to use his son's military exploits to make his daughter's situation in the harem better.

But whoever is favored now will have to stand aside in front of the queen.

The pregnant queen is really the first person in the harem.

Because he missed his mother, Pei Yao allowed the Duchess of Huaguo to come to the harem and stay with the queen for a while.

Hearing this news, Concubine Yang was unhappy.

"Isn't it just that I'm pregnant with a child, squeamish like this, as if no one has ever conceived a child."

"The queen's last child was misconceived in six months, and this child has been looking forward to it for so many years, I am afraid that I will be bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, and I will treat myself as a golden pimple."

Si Qi rubbed Concubine Yang's shoulders and echoed.

Concubine Yang snorted lightly, "If you have a life, you may not be able to give birth, and if you give birth, you may not be able to feed, and it may not be a girl or a boy, if you work hard and only give birth to a girl, this palace will see how she will raise her tail to the sky." ”

"Isn't it?" Si Qi nodded, "Slave maid, look, the queen is not blessed with life, where is it like you, Niangniang, the forehead is full, slaves and maids used to hear the old people say that the fullness of heaven is a blessing." ”

Listening to the maid's compliment, although Concubine Yang knew in her heart that she was a sycophant, she was also comfortable.

He hooked his lips and waved her hand to stop pressing.

"Although the queen is pregnant, An'er is now obedient and sensible, this month, the emperor has come three times, although there is only one stay, but it is much stronger than before."

"That's right, as the saying goes, there are three points of love when you meet, and the slave and maid now feel that the emperor treats the mother more kindly than before, but it is not necessarily all because of the three princes, there is still affection between the mother and the emperor."

Si Qi poured a cup of tea and brought it over, smiling and saying obediently.

took the teacup and Concubine Yang took a sip.

"This palace has been with the emperor for some years, and there is some affection."

Si Qi nodded, and said, "Niangniang, the weather is good today, the slave maid heard that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden are blooming, and some new varieties have been cultivated this year, why don't you go out and breathe?" The doctor also said that Niangniang often walks around, which is more beneficial to the body. ”

Putting down the teacup, Concubine Yang glanced at the sunshine outside, but she was also a little moved.

He nodded, changed his clothes, and went out.

And when she came over, there were also people in the imperial garden who were enjoying the flowers.

It's not someone else, it's Song Liangyuan.

"Liangyuan, it seems to be Concubine Yang." Nianshuang reminded in a low voice.

Originally, he was still talking about flowers, but when he heard this, Song Liangyuan also frowned and immediately raised his eyes.

Seeing that it was really Concubine Yang, she pursed her lips in displeasure.

"It's really a disappointment, she's here, what else do I have to go shopping, let's go."

"Yes."

Nianshuang nodded, helped her and was about to turn away.

After all, Concubine Yang and Concubine Zhao are not compatible, and their own master is on the side of Concubine Zhao, so it is naturally better to have less contact with Concubine Yang.

It's just that they wanted to leave, but Concubine Yang didn't let them.

After discovering Song Liangyuan's intention to leave, Concubine Yang immediately asked Si Qi to contain the person.

"Song Liangyuan stays!" Si Qi shouted loudly, and then walked over quickly to take the person down, and said with a fake smile, "Liangyuan, don't be in a hurry to leave, our mother invites you to go over and enjoy the flowers and talk." ”

"I've been out for a while, I've been blowing a little wind, I'm not very comfortable, I'm afraid that I'll give Concubine Yang Niangniang after getting sick, so I won't go, Niangniang's kindness, I understand it." Song Liangyuan said lightly.

She is not stupid, Concubine Yang called her over, what good can there be.

But Si Qi had no intention of moving to make way, so he just said again.

"That's right, Liangyuan might as well go and tell the mother in person, the slave maid was ordered to invite Liangyuan over, and please Liangyuan not to embarrass the slave maid."

The words are polite, but the words are not refusal.

Song Liangyuan frowned, knowing that she couldn't hide today, so she had to agree.

I thought that the soldiers would come to block the water and cover the earth.

After following Si Qi over, he still bowed in a proper manner.

"The concubine asked Concubine Yang to say goodbye."

"Excuse me." Concubine Yang waved her hand and looked up and down, "You are lucky, you have smallpox, but there are no scars on your face." ”

The second princess has a shallow scar on the left forehead.

But it wasn't all because of smallpox, but also because he fell on a flower bed later.

But with Fang Yu's enlightenment, the child is not so serious, and now he covers it with bangs, but he has long been forgotten by the second princess.

Song Liangyuan didn't like Concubine Yang's tone very much, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said lightly.

"With the care of the imperial doctor, the concubine is also a fluke."

"It's a fluke." Concubine Yang chuckled, "If you don't have a master, no one will care if you die of illness." ”

This refers to Fang Yu, but Song Liangyuan said.

"The queen takes care of the harem, takes care of the concubines, does her best, and the concubines are quite taken care of when they are sick, and I am very grateful in my heart.

There are only two masters in the palace, the emperor and the queen, and the others are not serious masters, so Song Liangyuan is naturally right when she says this.

But holding the queen like this, and pulling Concubine Yang to the same level as her, Concubine Yang is undoubtedly unhappy.

immediately made a cold face, "This palace has never found you with such sharp teeth and sharp mouth before, it seems that you are really close to Zhu and black to ink, follow Concubine Zhao, learn to flamboyant." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just praised the queen's words, everything is true, Concubine Yang said this, don't you think what the concubine just said is wrong?" Song Liangyuan said in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, after Concubine Yang squinted her eyes slightly, she immediately raised her hand and slapped her in the face.
