His Majesty the Emperor sometimes tires of his unforgettable ability. If his memory is not so good, wouldn't he remember the general who attacked the city by Chen Guo? Wouldn't you be awakened by nightmares
Yao Yanyan helped him wipe his sweat, and then softly soothed a few words to let your majesty escape the shadow of the nightmare. When your majesty calmed down, she smiled and said: "Your majesty, your concubine found that you are really different from before. ."
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Concubine Ai's increasingly gentle face under the candlelight, and wondered: "Which is different?"
Yao Yanyan smiled and said: "In the past, your Majesty was often awakened by nightmares. He also dreamed that Chen's generals had come in. But before, your Majesty was awakened because of the dream that he was killed. Now he was scared and awakened by a dream. Seeing the people being killed. This shows that the people have become more and more important in your majesty's heart, and your majesty has become a good monarch who loves the people! Your majesty, you are awesome!"
Listening to the compliment of Ai Concubine, His Majesty the Emperor pursed her lips, a little embarrassed, and a little bit proud.
Yao Yanyan grabbed her majesty's hand and put it on her stomach, and raised her head to say to him: "The baby can also feel it. Your majesty, when the baby is born, it will definitely be proud of having a father like you!"
"Yeah!" His Majesty the Emperor nodded vigorously, and carefully took Concubine Ai into his arms.
Chen's army finally stopped its aggression against Wu, at the cost of Wu ceding five cities, paying 50,000 pallets of food and grass, and ten carts of gold, silver and jewellery.
When Bai Zhou heard the news, he sighed Shen Shen. After all, he was once a native of Wu, and he still has some feelings towards his homeland.
But that was all, after sighing, Bai Zhou plunged into his busy official duties again.
After the imperial court improved the waterwheel and the loom, it opened another maritime trade route, trading silk and porcelain in exchange for large sums of gold, silver and grain. Recently, Li Shu and his wife Zhou Wanxiang have created another one. Something that can modulate essential oils.
The foreigners who came from the sea did not need essential oils, but the nobles of the Wu country loved essential oils and perfumes. Relying on these few things, the Qi country made a lot of money from the country of Wu.
Now it's winter, domestic food has been harvested twice, and it can finally fill the previous vacancy, and no longer make ends meet as before.
Bai Zhou has been busy for a day in the Ministry of Households. Seeing that the hour has come, his colleagues have all returned home, and he will not stay anymore. He puts his unfinished business affairs into a cloth pocket, hung it on the horse, and rode home. Hurry up.
When passing by the Beiya, he saw hundreds of Dragon Guards wearing red shirts with arrow sleeves and black boots running along the school ground.
I was so busy in the past that I didn’t even have time to drink water, so I naturally didn’t want to stay here, but it was already the twelfth lunar month. Everywhere was idle, and government affairs were not as much as the previous months. Bai Zhou took advantage of the sky. It was not dark yet, so I rode a horse and traveled inside the Beiya for a while.
Standing on the horse, he could see that the dragon guards were all sturdy, brave and powerful when wielding weapons, and the shouts when they ran were loud and thunderous.
Seeing him coming in, the soldier guarding the gate glanced at the official uniform on his body and ignored him.
Lan Mengzheng found him and walked over to say hello to him.
Bai Zhou got off his horse and looked at the Long Weijun who was trained in the school: "As expected from a family of military generals, Commander Lan led the Long Weijun very well."
After a year, Lan Mengzheng's childishness faded a lot, her face was tanned, and her eyes were still bright as stars.
Hearing Bai Zhou's praise, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Bai Shi Lang is too acclaimed. This is just the duty of a courtier."
Looking at Lan Mengzheng's stern look, who was several years younger, Bai Zhou smiled. After a while, he remembered something and sighed, "Xiuwu wrote that he found some signs at the border gate. Suspicious Chen Guoren, I'm afraid this peaceful life in China will not last long."
When Lan Mengzheng heard the words, there was an edge in his eyes, "If Chen Guo dares to invade the border, I, Lan Mengzheng, will ask your majesty for instructions, lead troops to expedition, and drive those Chen Guoren out of Daqi forever."
Bai Zhou smiled and said, "Is it just so?"
Lan Mengzheng frowned in confusion, "What do you want to say?"
Bai Zhou said: "In order to get peace for the night, Wu Guo ceded five cities to Chen Guo. In addition, he also offered 50,000 dan of grain and grass."
Lan Mengzheng: "I know about this. Wu Guo has a short-sighted vision, and sooner or later he will have a catastrophe." He didn't have the slightest thought of being merciful because the person in front of him was once a native of Wu.
Bai Zhou didn’t mind either, he said: “A hungry wolf who tasted blood will not be satisfied just because he has eaten a full one. His appetite will only grow. Today, Wu Guo ceded five cities in order to steal peace. Tomorrow will have to cede ten, twenty... When Chen Guo completely annexes Wu Guo, Qi Guo is his next goal."
Lan Mengzheng frowned fiercely, "You mean Chen Guo is not greedy enough and wants to annex the whole world?"
Bai Zhou nodded, "The troubled times are approaching, and there is no need for stability anywhere. The only way to stop the war is to fight."
Lan Mengzheng understood, he raised his eyes and looked at him, "Do you want to... let Your Majesty rule the world?"
Bai Zhou chuckled, "This is not only my wish, but also the common wish of Mr. Yixin, the civil and military of the Manchuria, and even the common people of the world. No one does not want a wise and benevolent monarch, and there is no monarch that a courtier does not want to serve to rule the world. , No people don’t want to live in a peaceful and prosperous age..."
Listening to Bai Zhou's words, Lan Mengzheng's eyes also lit up with an excited flame. If His Majesty really has the heart to dominate the world, then he is willing to be the sharpest gun in His Majesty's hand!
After Bai Zhou left Beiya, he returned home soon.
The lady had already prepared the food, and stood at the door looking forward to it.
With warmth in Bai Zhou's heart, he stepped down from the horse and hurried towards her with the horse.
"It's so cold, don't come out and wait anymore."
"It's okay, I wear thick clothes, come out and wait, and feel more at ease."
The two walked into the house together, and the servant hurriedly helped lead the horse and opened the curtain of the hall for them.
Bai Zhou and the lady sat down at the dinner table. The two are the cousins of childhood sweethearts. After Bai Zhou took root in Qi, he took the cousin over. The two were married two months ago.
"I heard today that Chen Guo is attacking Wu State." After hesitating for a while, Lin Zhaoqiu finally asked this sentence. She is just an ordinary citizen, the news is lagging behind, and she doesn't know that the war has subsided at this time, relying on Wu's cessation of power and humiliation of the country.
Bai Zhou told Lin Zhaoqiu about the matter, and seeing her face heavy, he said: "Are you still worried about Wu Guo?"
Lin Zhaoqiu sighed, "How to say, that is our hometown."
Bai Zhou said gently: "But now we are from the Qi country." He held his cousin's hand and said to her: "You have lived in this great capital of Qi for the past six months. What are the differences?"
Lin Zhaoqiu pondered for a moment, and said, "Compared with Wu Kingdom and Kyoto, it is completely different. There are no high-ranking officials here to bully others, no innocent monarchs to conquer people..." She said, a bit of melancholy disappeared on her face, and gradually revealed With a smile, "This country is exuding a kind of vigorous vigor."
"Yes." Bai Zhou squeezed his cousin's hand and said: "Do you think I don't care about my hometown in my heart? It's just that the whole country of Wu is already decayed. I can't change it. I can only assist a Mingjun with all my strength. , Waiting for one day... We can return to the hometown in a fair manner. "It's just that at that time, the country of Wu is already part of the territory of Qi...
After nightfall, the sky was fluttering with snowflakes.
The earth dragon was already burned in Feiluan Palace, and it was warm like spring.
His Majesty motioned to the palace people to silence. He personally opened the thick curtains used to keep out the wind, and a warm yellow world was reflected in his eyes. The bright candlelight flickered, reflecting a man sitting down beside the embroidery stand. , Make the figure of embroidery seriously.
Yao Yanyan's belly is now eight months old, and it is very inconvenient to move. Fortunately, she only needs to sit while embroidering. She is doing embroidery with her head down, and the light in front of her is suddenly blocked. Yao Yanyan didn't look up, "Your Majesty, stand behind your concubine."
His Majesty the Emperor walked to her and squatted down, "You can embroider tomorrow! Take your eyes carefully."
Yao Yanyan didn't raise her head and said: "It will be your Majesty's birthday in five days. I have to embroider the gift to your Majesty quickly, and then let the people from the Shangfu Bureau make clothes for your Majesty to wear."
His Majesty looked at Ai Concubine with her eight-month-old belly, and was still sitting in front of the embroidery frame embroidering her birthday gift. He was overwhelmed by the emotions, "Ai Concubine, you are so kind to me, you embroidered this dress for me , I must wear it every day!"
Yao Yanyan smiled, "Your Majesty, don't you need to change the wash?"
His Majesty the Emperor thought for a while, and then said: "Then I will wear it every other day, and I will wash it myself, don't touch those palace people!"
What your Majesty said reminded Yao Yanyan of the clothes she gave to your Majesty in the previous life, the clothes that was stabbed by the bandit... Yao Yanyan thought of this scene, her eyes filled with moisture, but she looked at her. , She smiled again, "Your Majesty, when the concubine saves enough money, the concubine will build you a real star-picking building as a birthday gift for you."
His Majesty the Emperor was pleased, and stretched out his fingers and said: "Retractor!"
After the two of them pulled the hook, His Majesty the Emperor helped his concubine up, and the two took them to dinner.
Lan Mengshi has been helping Zhou Wanxiang with the shop recently, and only returned to the palace these two days. After hearing the conversation between the emperor and the empress, she was very curious about the embroidery that the empress would give to her majesty. After the two left, they couldn't help but leaned over and took a look, only to see three unfinished words pierced on the embroidery frame, which were "Zhanxinglou"!
With regard to these three characters, Niangniang has not finished embroidering after three days of embroidering!
Lan Mengshi was shocked!
Time flies quickly, the New Year passed in the blink of an eye, and after a lively New Year, it soon arrived the day before the Lantern Festival of the sixth year of Zhengyu.
Seeing that the Lantern Festival was about to be over, Yao Yanyan was checking the items to be prepared at the Lantern Festival banquet on this day. Suddenly, she felt a slight pain in her abdomen, and felt strange under her body, as if something was flowing out uncontrollably. She looked down a little ignorantly, and suddenly realized something, and hurriedly shouted: "Green pot..."
Qing Hu took a look, and immediately held his mother's wife, and shouted outside: "Come on! Your mother has started!"
The author has something to say:
The Lantern Festival baby is coming!
