Chu Qiao's pretty face immediately turned red. Seeing that the little maids on the left and right were covering their mouths and giggling quietly, she quickly pouted and said, "What are you talking about!"
"Don't even laugh, didn't you see Master Chu is shy?" Yan Xun suddenly turned his head and pretended to reprimand those little maids, but seeing them laughing louder, he could only helplessly spread his hands at Chu Qiao, "It's over, They don't listen to me."
"Nonsense, ignore you."
Chu Qiao turned around and was about to go out, and walked to her room, but Yan Xun laughed, hugged her from behind, and said with a big laugh, "I told you that I will send you back, you dare to disobey the military order, you really should be shot !"
After Yan Xun left, the room seemed to cool down. Staying in her own room, Chu Qiao was no longer sleepy. Thinking of all the things just now, she couldn't help but blushed, tossing and turning unable to fall asleep, she had to sit up, leaning against the desk, dazed in a daze.
This time when Yan Xun came back, something seemed different, their relationship became closer, but some things gradually changed.
Thinking of Yan Xun's words just now, Chu Qiao smiled slightly, forget it, maybe she was overhearted, men are like this, no one likes his own woman to go to the battlefield, charge into battle, now, he is stronger, so he wants to put himself To protect him, she should understand him. He hoped that she would live in peace and happiness, like ordinary women, drinking tea and admiring flowers, wearing silk and satin, enjoying the service of servants, and living a life of rich clothes and fine food, just to make up for the suffering she had suffered.
Although this kind of life is not what she wants, she should satisfy his wish and understand his original intention. He didn't exclude himself, he just wanted to protect himself.
After thinking like this for a while, Chu Qiao suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in her heart. She was about to sleep when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside. She pushed open the window, and suddenly the cold air came in. Rows of lanterns walked towards Yan Xun's room. All in a hurry.
"Green Willow!"
Chu Qiao called out, and the little girl ran in with sleepy eyes, "Girl, what's the matter?"
"What's going on outside? It's so late, why are there so many people here?"
"Oh, girl, you don't know, His Highness will discuss the military situation with the generals overnight tonight. It seems that he is going to formulate a battle plan for the east. Those generals have been waiting under the concierge for a long time."
Chu Qiao was taken aback when she heard that, the wind was strong outside the window, and the clothes on her shoulders were blown away at once, her long hair fluttered with the wind, making her look messy and thin.
"Oh, girl, you are just recovering from your illness, how can you blow the air?" The little maid hurried over, closed the window, and said eagerly, "Young lady? Young lady?"
"Ah?" Chu Qiao suddenly said, "Oh, it's okay, you go down first."
Lu Liu was a little puzzled, "Is the girl really okay?"
"It's okay, you go to sleep."
"Oh," Lu Liu agreed, "that girl goes to bed early too."
The lights in the study room were brightly lit, Chu Qiao looked at it for a while, then lifted the quilt and went to bed, thinking before going to sleep, Yan Xun asked her to come back to sleep tonight because he wanted to discuss the military situation? After thinking about it, I felt that it would be good to go back to sleep. They were so noisy there, and I must not be able to fall asleep.
Drowsily falling into a half-asleep and half-awake state, in her sleep, she suddenly felt an unknown daze and fear slowly hit her, her heart was like a floating boat, tossed between the waves, ups and downs, but finally calmed down bit by bit, Calm down.
Waking up very early in the morning, Chu Qiao was preoccupied with something, so she couldn't fall asleep no matter what. In three days, Yan Xun will be leaving, she always felt uneasy, got up early in the morning, ran to Yan Xun's room without washing his face, but was told that he went to the sunset barracks last night, and now he is still there. did not return.
After eating, Yan Xun still didn't come back, she had nothing to do, she just sat in front of the desk and was lost in thought, her mind unconsciously began to analyze the distribution of troops in Daxia after the Northern Expedition, as well as the information, logistics, and weapons of the two sides. After various comparisons, a combat map naturally unfolded in my mind.
Just thinking about it, Luliu and Fengzhi walked in while smiling. Luliu was holding a sign in her hand. Seeing Chu Qiao, she chuckled and said, "Girl, what is this?"
Chu Qiao was taken aback, then raised her head, and saw that it was a tablet of longevity, on which her name and military position were engraved, and underneath were densely packed small characters, all of which were auspicious words such as bless longevity.
"My longevity tablet?" Chu Qiao said with a smile, "Which one of you made it? Do you want to make me happy?"
Luliu immediately laughed, and said with a smile: "What, Fengzhi bought it."
"Bought it? How can someone sell this thing?"
"You don't know that, do you?" Feng Zhi was still young, he was the school boy Yan Xun took in after Feng Mian left, he said with a smile, "Now the girl is the savior of Beishuo City, and almost every family member A memorial tablet of a girl is enshrined sooner or later. The Loyalty Hall in the south of the city collapsed. Recently, a wealthy family voluntarily funded the construction, but all the statues of the girl were placed on it. It is next to Lord Yan. This is the first time a living person has gone up Loyalty Hall. Seeing the profit, small merchants and peddlers have made girls’ longevity tablets and peace jade pendants, and sold them outside, and even some people in the army bought jade pendants to carry with them!”
Chu Qiao was slightly taken aback when she heard this, but she was not as happy as Fengzhi and Luliu imagined, but gradually frowned, and after a long time, she asked in a deep voice: "Apart from my tablet, can they still sell it?" Sell someone else's?"
Seeing her serious expression, Fengzhi was also a little anxious, and whispered: "There are also, but they are the clay figurines of Mr. Lu Zhilu who sold the Second Army. The common people took them home and burned them in the stove, or threw them into the latrines."
"Girl, are you alright?" Lu Liu asked softly.
Chu Qiao shook her head, "It's okay, you guys go down first, that thing, burn it or throw it away, don't put it in the house."
"En." The two agreed anxiously, turned around and left.
Chu Qiao felt a little uneasy. This time Yan Xun came to surround Wei to save Zhao and save Beishuo from the fire. No one knew about his previous move to give up Yanbei. It stands to reason that the people should be grateful to him. Why do the people in Yanbei not appreciate it
There is a problem here, and it seems that we need to study it carefully.
Chu Qiao frowned. With such a high prestige, Yan Xun was better, so he should not be careless, but others might not.
It seems that more things need to be done for Yan Xun to build momentum, and it is right not to intervene in the military. Thinking about it, she suddenly felt a bit cold, does Yan Xun know about these things? If he knew, would there be other considerations for keeping himself away from the military? But thinking of this, she immediately dismissed the idea, and shook her head rather amusingly, she was crazy, how could it be possible
She opened the window, and the snow outside had stopped. The tall and empty Qingyuan Hall is located between the ten-mile lotus ponds. It is built with the best nanmu to face the wind. The lake is clear on all sides, and the sky is clear. But the skillful maids in the palace made lotus leaves and silk flowers out of white and green colored silk and let them float on the water. Looking from a distance, the wind blows over the leaves, and the lotus leaves turn blue, as if they are real. The Huai Song Palace is beautiful, comparable to Bian Tang Jin Wu.
The Qinyuan Hall was being renovated and rebuilt a few days ago, and Nalan Hongye moved the court hall to the Qingyuan Hall. After the morning court, she opened the curtain and walked out slowly, but saw Nalan Hongyu leaning on the golden dragon chair, looking up. Sitting, there was a long trace of saliva on his chin, and he was snoring slightly, apparently he had fallen asleep for a long time.
Thinking of the eyes of the courtiers when they left, the Eldest Princess couldn't help frowning slightly. Seeing this, the little eunuch quickly pushed Nalan Hongyu's shoulder carefully, and called out carefully: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
The young emperor woke up in a daze, frowning and was about to get angry, when he saw the elder sister standing in front of him, he suddenly became frightened, stood up shyly, rubbed his eyes, and whispered: "Emperor sister."
Everyone in the main hall had already gone down, only Nalan Hongye and a young eunuch were left, Nalan Hongye frowned slightly, her tone was very peaceful, but there was an inexplicable tension, she said slowly: "Did Miss Huang tell you that you are not allowed to sleep in the court hall?"
The emperor lowered his head, like a child who was caught doing something bad, and murmured: "Say... I said it."
"Then why do you still commit crimes?"
The young emperor lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "Miss Huang, I was wrong."
Nalan Hongye raised her eyebrows, "Didn't Miss Huang tell you what to call yourself?"
"Huh?" Nalan Hongyu was taken aback for a moment, as if she couldn't understand what the eldest princess said.
The little eunuch quickly clung to his ear and whispered something. The emperor nodded immediately, and said, "Sister Huang, I, oh no, I was wrong, and I know I was wrong."
"Now that you know you've made a mistake, go back and copy "Tao De Ji" ten times. If you don't finish copying, you are not allowed to eat."
"Ah?" The emperor's face suddenly collapsed. Nalan Hongye didn't even look at it, turned around and walked out. The main hall was empty, the sun was shining brightly outside, the wind was blowing from all sides, blowing on the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang, sweeping across the golden bells under the curtain, making tinkling sounds. Nalan Hongye's dark blue court dress caressed across the heavy floor, embroidered with patterns of birds, glittering gold thread, fine stitches, showing the dignity and majesty of the royal family everywhere.
"Princess," Aunt Yun was waiting outside. When she saw her coming out, she hurried up and trotted up, and put a soft cloak on her. It is now November, and even though the weather in Huai Song Dynasty is mild, the wind is already cool in the morning and evening. "Princess, come back." Palace?"
Nalan Hongye shook her head. Today, King Changling and King Jinjiang were vague and evasive. Regarding the incident of bandits in the East China Sea, they had to be on guard. She said in a deep voice, "I called Xuanmo into the palace. Discuss with him."
"Yes." Aunt Yun quickly agreed, and then asked, "Princess, are you meeting Prince Xuan at Qingyuan Palace? Well, the emperor is still here..."
Aunt Yun hesitated to speak, Nalan Hongye followed her words, turned around and looked back, and saw that the huge palace was silent and desolate, with the dark wooden floor covering it, which further highlighted the austerity and indifference of the palace.
The young emperor was sitting alone on the steps, with his head drooped, and the bright beads on the crown hung down on both sides, shining brightly, and the sun shone through the bead curtains, giving off a dazzling brilliance. Following the rays of light, one could even see the dust flying in mid-air, and the bright yellow dragon robe reflected his desolate expression more and more, like a child who was ignored.
However, his sadness and sadness, after all, will only be because of copying "Tao De Ji" ten times, not because of the flood in Qiubei, not because of the bandits in the East China Sea, not because of the lawsuit brought by the criminal department, and even more so. Not because of disputes in the court. As long as he finished copying the article, he would feel relieved, eat well, sleep well, fight crickets, and live happily without any worries, even if he shoulders the heavy responsibility of a country.
