Chengxu had been aggrieved for a while, because his lord was so kind to his wife, and his wife was laughing and joking every day, as if she didn't know the lord's hard work at all.
But now, with the news just sent from Kyoto, Cheng Xu's expression is very complicated.
For some unknown reason, the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty had close contacts with the Xiliang envoys. Not to mention buying a lot of Xiliang weapons, food and grass, he also made a general of Xiliang marry Liu Yunlie's sister.
These things happened in this short month, and the actions were taken so quickly that there was no chance for the courtiers to discuss. The general of Xiliang entered the capital, and after getting married, he rushed to the war-torn Pingling to take over the troops. He led the people of the imperial court into Pingling, and went down to five cities.
This move really brought back a lot of face for Li Huailin at this critical juncture, but at the same time, everyone knew that the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not hesitate to lure wolves into his house, and wanted to suppress those lords.
There were rumors before that the Eastern Jin Dynasty lent food and grass to Ziyang, but there is no evidence to prove it, but now the generals of Xiliang entered the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it is well known throughout the court.
Chengxu understood in an instant why his wife gave Baihuajun a favor for nothing.
"She's worried about you." Cheng Xu lowered her voice while standing beside her own monarch.
Princess Danyang has always done things regardless of her reputation, but this time, she did.
Jiang Xuanjin was reading the battle report. Hearing the words, his eyelashes trembled, and he looked up at Li Huaiyu in the inner room.
She didn't sleep very well recently, there were two bruises under her eyes, she could only lie flat on her eight-month-old stomach, and she was leaning on the soft couch half asleep and half awake, her brows still frowning.
My heart moved slightly. He got up and walked over with a light step.
Li Huaiyu heard the noise, opened a pair of sleepy eyes: "Huh?"
Someone sat down beside her couch, took a porcelain jar from the wooden cabinet next to her, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
The jar contained the sour plums that she ate as a snack. After she smacked her mouth twice, Huaiyu nodded, sat up with support, and yawned a little. bite.
The slender fingers squeezed Meizi backed away, Jiang Xuanjin lowered his head to take the position, and kissed her lips fiercely.
Li Huaiyu: "..."
This person has never been very proactive, but today he didn't know what happened, he pressed his hand on the back of her head, not letting her back at all, the tip of his tongue forcefully squeezed her teeth, and licked her lips and teeth.
With an inexplicable fever on his face, Huaiyu groaned twice, put his hands on his chest, and exerted a little force to get a chance to breathe.
"Didn't you say... don't make out in front of it?" Staring at him, Huaiyu pointed to her stomach, and said aggrievedly, "I wanted to kiss you in the courtyard last time, but you hid!"
With a low "um", Jiang Xuanjin took the plum in his mouth and covered her lips again.
It wasn't that he wanted to hide, but that there were too many people in the courtyard that day, and he didn't like to be seen losing control.
As long as he gets close to her recently, he can't control himself a little bit. Ben wanted to endure it for a few more months. But... Sorry, I can't help it.
"You..." Huaiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, just about to coquettishly say that she was uncomfortable, the man held her half in his arms, put his hands on his waist to save her effort, then bowed his head and kissed her deeply.
Huaiyu felt that Jiang Xuanjin was unusual, but felt that this unusualness was good, so she didn't bother to care about it, so she reached out and hooked his neck, biting his tongue restlessly.
Spring is coming, it is really a season suitable for two people to stay together.
In addition to the battle report and the situation of the court, the news from the capital inevitably included some news about Li Huailin.
Qingsi said: "Your Majesty has put Concubine Ning into limbo."
Huaiyu leaned on the bed with her long hair loose, and frowned upon hearing this.
Huai Lin likes Concubine Ning very much, what is the purpose of such a move? Could it be that because Ning Zhendong didn't have any achievements recently, she was left out in the cold
But every family of children is able to toss about, and always feels that feelings are just left to their own temperament. That is to say, it is only at her level that she knows how to cherish, how to maintain, and how hard it is to get anyone's sincerity.
Long, long ago, in the court hall, when Lord Ziyang reprimanded Li Huailin, he once asked Li Huailin a word-"Dare to ask Your Majesty, if Concubine Ning is dying, and someone is hiding in the dark to harm her, what will Your Majesty do?"
At that time Li Huailin said: "I will definitely guard her, catch the wicked, and punish them severely!"
But now, Concubine Ning Gui is in the cold palace, and Li Huailin is holding Concubine Shu and sitting in her Hexi Palace.
"What is your Majesty thinking?" Concubine Shu asked with a smile.
After recovering, Li Huailin smiled lightly: "What can I think about, naturally I want to love my concubine."
Concubine Shu was a little embarrassed, but her face was still shy: "The concubine is here, why do you need to think about it? The concubine made plum cake, do you want to try it?"
Suddenly a little impatient, Li Huailin said: "The battle in Pingling is going on, you still have to think about these tricks."
Concubine Shu was startled and quickly knelt down.
The emperor is unreasonable. When he is in a good mood, he will not be angry at anything you do, but if he is in a bad mood, a plate of plum cakes may also provoke a punishment.
Concubine Shu's eyes turned red.
If it weren't for the glory of the family. Who wants to come to the palace? Especially this emperor, moody, cloudy and sunny, is really frightening. When she was not favored before, she was quite jealous of Concubine Ning Gui, but once she was in front of the Holy One, Concubine Shu suddenly felt that this favor was not good.
Glancing at Concubine Shu's expression, Li Huailin said angrily, "Back off."
If she was granted an amnesty, Concubine Shu walked out holding her skirt, her steps were fast, as if she was terrified.
Smiled mockingly. Li Huailin stood up.
His harem is very large, and there are many people, who is he not to serve
It's just that these women seem so timid. When he changed his tone a little, they knelt on the ground and trembled. No one dared to hold his hand to comfort him, and no one hummed a little tune to him.
After wandering around in the harem for a while, Li Huailin pursed his lips and went to Concubine He Gui's palace.
Concubine He Gui and Ning Wanwei are handkerchiefs, the relationship between these two people has always been very good, even though they are both concubines, they have never been jealous. He circled around quite a bit, pretending to be passing by, and stepped into the hall.
"Your Majesty." Concubine He Gui first bowed, invited him to take a seat, and then asked, "Why are you free to come to my concubine's place?"
"Just walk around." Li Huailin glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and sat still.
No one in the harem would intercede with Ning Wanwei, but Concubine He Gui would, as long as she asked, he would give her face and go to the cold palace to have a look.
However, Concubine He Gui lowered her head and drank tea with him, without speaking.
Li Huailin became a little irritable: "Are you dumb?"
Concubine He Gui trembled, lifted her skirt and stood up, then also knelt down towards him: "Your Majesty, calm down."
Why is it like this? Li Huailin couldn't figure it out: "Can't you learn from Ning Wanwei and compete for favor?"
Staring at the carpet with a complicated expression, He Guibin shook her head: "I dare not."
"Why don't you dare?" Li Huailin became even more angry, "The concubines in the harem are all pure-hearted and ascetic, and they don't want to compete with the world?"
"No." Concubine He Gui said in a low voice, "It's just that Concubine Ning Guifei did nothing wrong, and she loves His Majesty deeply, so she deserved to end up like this, how dare concubines and others make mistakes?"
Finally said it, even if the words were a little offensive. Li Huailin also frowned, and said with a sneer, "She loves me deeply?"
"Ning Guifei is infatuated, and everyone in the harem knows it." Concubine He Gui pursed her lips, "It's just that she was imprisoned in the cold palace for no reason, and I don't know what kind of cold heart has become."
Will you feel cold? Li Huailin was startled, and subconsciously said: "She was the one who ignored me first."
If she hadn't gone to greet him for so long, he wouldn't have lost his temper suddenly.
Concubine He Gui paused, and said: "I don't know if Your Majesty has asked the servants, Concubine Ning has sent desserts to Longyan Palace many times before, but was stopped outside."
Eyelids twitched, Li Huailin stood up: "What did you say?"
"She doesn't care about anyone, and she won't ignore His Majesty." He Guipin really wanted to keep calm, but she was still a little angry after all, and her tone was slightly serious, "It's easy for Your Majesty to find her, but it takes a lot of twists and turns for her to find His Majesty. Don't you know?"
Of course I don't know, I've been caught up in the Pingling incident recently. He has no time to enter the harem. The people around him were newly elected, and they didn't say much to him.
Realizing that someone might be playing tricks behind his back, Li Huailin glanced at He Guibin several times, and asked a little uncomfortably, "Would you like to go to the Leng Palace to have a look?"
Concubine He Gui stood up and bowed again: "Respectfully send off Your Majesty."
Li Huailin was a little annoyed, annoyed at He Guibi's clear expression, and also annoyed at himself for wronging someone.
In addition to being angry, there was also a little bit of panic.
Concubine Ning, will you be angry with him
The sky was getting dark, Li Huailin basically walked all the palaces today, and finally stopped at the gate of Lenggong.
The dilapidated palace is nothing compared to the magnificence of Hexi Palace, Ning Wanwei sat beside the palace lantern. He was dressed in plain clothes and his face was pale. Hearing the movement, I thought it was the servant girl who came back with the meal, and said without turning her head: "You can eat, I don't need it anymore."
Frowning, Li Huailin said in a vicious voice, "Will you starve to death if you don't eat?"
Her shoulders trembled slightly, Ning Wanwei turned her head and saw the familiar dragon robe, she was startled, and knelt down to salute: "The guilty concubine pays my respects to Your Majesty."
If he didn't know the situation, Li Huailin would still think that she understood the rules, but knowing that she had done nothing wrong, and even heard the word "crime concubine", Huailin felt a little uncomfortable, and reached out to help her: "Be flat."
Following his strength and standing up, Concubine Ning Gui didn't say anything, she just gently shook his hand on her wrist, frowned and said: "Your Majesty has caught a cold."
No complaints. There was no grievance either, the first thing she cared about was his body.
Throat tightened, Li Huailin don't start, he couldn't say what he had prepared before.
People are like this, the more gentle they are treated, the more willful and mean they will be, especially those who feel insecure and feel that they are not worthy of such good treatment, so they will always subconsciously test others to see how good she can be.
"I want to drink soup." He poked his neck and said, "You can make two bowls for me, and then I can go back to Hexi Palace."
