In June, the lotus leaves in the pond are green.
Yan Wushuang looked at the lotus leaves in the full pond, and said to Meng Nian who was with him: "The imperial concubine's painting skills are really good, and the paintings look like the real ones." Yan Wushuang refers to the pair of Yuxi painted by Yuchen before. The portrait, the lotus leaf in the pond, is very beautiful, almost the same as the scenery in front of you.
Meng Nian couldn't help but said in admiration: "The imperial concubine, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poems, and songs are all well known. This is a well-known thing." He has heard Yuchen play the piano once, and it can be said that he is not inferior to those full-time court musicians.
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "These are just pastimes, not very useful. The concubine spends too much time on this."
Meng Nian smiled and said, "The imperial concubine takes care of the palace affairs very well." After Yuchen recovered from his illness, he handled the palace affairs in an orderly manner, unlike the mess he had given to Xiang Zhaoyi before.
Xiang Zhaoyi was born not high. Before Yan Wushuang, her father was only a small official of the sixth rank. No matter what, it was impossible to compare with Yu Chen, who was born in the government and had the best education.
Yan Wushuang was a little regretful, and said: "If the imperial concubine can have half of Han Yuxi's ability..." He didn't say the following words. Because he also knew that it was impossible.
Meng Nian hesitated and said: "There is only one Han Yuxi in this world. And Han Yuxi can come to this day, not only because she has talent, but also because of her luck." There are many talented people, but there are many who can really make it. Few, so there are very few who can be named in history books, and most of them are wiped out in the torrent of history.
At this moment, Chang Chengyi came over and said: "The emperor, there is news from Jiangnan."
Meng Nian took the secret letter, and after reading it, he looked a little unsightly and said: "The emperor, the treasures of the Wu family have been dug up, and they are now on the way to Gaocheng." They had acquired these treasures early. information. They are not unsuccessful, but unfortunately they have not succeeded. Unexpectedly, Yun Qing and Han Yuxi were cheaper in the end.
After speaking, Meng Nian couldn't help saying: "Han Yuxi's fortune is really good. Last time I won Ji Xuan's huge amount of gold and silver, this time I won the Wu family's treasure." These two huge sums of money, how many things can be done. , He knows very well.
Yan Wushuang looked up at the sky and said, "My God really loves Yun Qing and Han Yuxi so much." Even if they were jealous, it was useless.
Meng Nian said with some worry: "The emperor, they got this huge sum of money, and the next step is probably to attack us." Their current situation is dangerous.
Yan Wushuang didn't have the slightest expression of anxiety on his face. He just said, "The one who should come will always come, and you can't avoid it." Even if Yun Qing didn't get this windfall, he would bring soldiers to fight the capital for up to three years. This battle is inevitable.
Meng Nian said: "The emperor, our situation will be more difficult after returning to Liaodong." In addition to Yun Qing and Han Yuxi, they also have the hidden danger of Donghu people.
Yan Wushuang said indifferently, "No matter how hard it is, can it still be difficult when the Yan family was exterminated?" Those days were the last thing he didn't want to look back on, because it was too tragic.
Meng Nian didn't speak any more.
The words were nice, but Yan Wushuang was also a little irritable in her heart. He went to Zhanghua Palace first, and it happened that Yuchen finished painting in the painting room after handling the palace affairs.
Yan Wushuang didn't want to wait, turned around and went to Roufu Palace. Xiang Zhaoyi today is much more obedient and supple than before.
Seeing Yan Wushuang, Xiang Zhaoyi said with a smile: "I was about to go to the emperor personally, but I didn't expect the emperor to come over."
Yan Wushuang asked, "What's the joy?" There was no good thing in the previous dynasty, and it was even harder to have a joy in the harem.
Xiang Zhaoyi smiled and said: "My sister is happy, the imperial doctor just diagnosed it, and it has been more than a month. The emperor, do you think this is a happy event?" God knows how much Xiang Zhaoyi hated when he heard the news. But under the persuasion of Grandma, she had to hide her full of resentment and pretend to be very happy.
Yan Wushuang glanced at Xiang Zhaoyi and said, "Don't laugh if you don't want to laugh. It's not good at all." Pi Xiaorou didn't smile, it was ugly.
Xiang Zhaoyi immediately closed his smile and said: "It is said that only new people laugh, but old people cry. The concubines are worried that the emperor will not like A Yuan if he has a little prince." A Yuan is the son of Xiang Zhaoyi's son. The name is also very popular with Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang liked Xiang Zhaoyi's magnanimity, and said with a smile, "What does it mean? No matter whether there is a little prince or not, I love him the same." Achi is his son with high hopes, and A Yuan is his favorite. Son. As for the one in Xiaoxiang's belly, who knows whether it is a male or a female, and what his qualifications are. Therefore, Yan Wushuang didn't care.
Xiang Zhaoyi smiled openly when she heard this: "I'm relieved. The emperor, the younger sister is pregnant for the royal family to open branches and leaves is also a contribution, should she be promoted?"
Yan Wushuang nodded and said, "Then be promoted to Huibi!" Huibi is from the sixth rank, and Xiaoxiang can be considered to be upgraded to two levels in a row.
Xiang Zhaoyi said: "The concubine gave her a favor on behalf of her sister." After saying that, Xiang Zhaoyi put her arm around Yan Wushuang and smiled and said: "The emperor, the concubine has no credit for taking care of her sister. Do you want something to reward? Otherwise, the concubine is really sad."
Yan Wushuang liked Xiang Zhaoyi's innocence and cuteness that day, but she didn't like it when she changed her temper. However, recently, Xiang Zhaoyi has changed back to the same as before. Yan Wushuang said, "How about calling you a concubine?"
Xiang Zhaoyi was taken aback for a moment, then thanked him immediately when he recovered. She just said that she didn't really want a reward, she just wanted to act like a baby, but she didn't expect to get a surprise.
Seeing the smile of the newly-baked concubine Xiang Fei, Yan Wushuang was in a good mood. This night, I naturally stayed at the Roufu Palace.
When it got dark, Grandma Gui and Yuchen said: "Manny, Xiao Xiang has been pregnant for more than a month, and the emperor has raised her to a sixth-grade concubine. Even Xiang has also been promoted to Xiang concubine. "Although Concubine Xiang could not pose a threat to her master for the time being, seeing this momentum, Grandma Gui became a little worried.
Yuchen frowned and said, "This grandma, you really can't be underestimated." How can she not know how small-minded Xiang is? But Grandma Gao insisted that she let Xiaoxiang go to bed, and now Xiaoxiang is pregnant, if the child is born peacefully, it is almost impossible to raise this child under her name.
Grandma Gui said with a hum, "Concubine Xiang is very dependent on her now, and it is not easy to get rid of it." Xiang's acquisition of such a talent has caused them to suffer a lot of secret losses.
Yuchen smiled and said, "As for Xiang's temperament, you can fly to the sky with a single move." Although the grandmother Gao has good methods and abilities, if Xiang's doesn't cooperate, no matter how much she can do, she will be useless.
Grandma Gui asked with joy, "Does the empress have a good idea?"
Yuchen hummed and said: "I have been promoted, where the emperor stayed with her last night, she will definitely come to Zhanghua Palace tomorrow morning. Since she wants to show the emperor's love for her, it's like It's her intention." As long as she shows weakness, Xiang's probably will be arrogant, and the emperor, the most disliked arrogant woman.
Madam Gui said with some sadness: "The empress is going to be wronged again." There would be no good things in Xiangshi's mouth.
Yuchen chuckled lightly: "What kind of grievance is this? Xiangshi, it's not enough to be afraid."
Mother Gui was worried about another thing: "Manny, what do you mean by the emperor? Until now, I don’t want to be the third prince?" It’s also because Yan Wushuang has been reluctant to canonize Achi as the prince. Let Xiang Fei around the corner.
Yuchen's hand was stagnant, and after a while, he said, "The emperor knows this, and it's useless for us to be anxious."
On the second day, Concubine Xiang sent away Yan Wushuang with a face full of spring, and then rewarded Grandma Gao again. Since Grandma Gao came to her, Concubine Xiang felt that everything went smoothly.
Grandma Gao received the reward and thanked her, and said: "Manny, you should go and please the concubine." Yuchen is in charge of the harem, and is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem. The other concubines go to her every morning. .
Hearing this, the smile on Concubine Xiang's face was swept away: "I am very tired, so I won't go today." Pride and arrogance, this is what Xiang Fei has always liked to do.
Although the grandmother Gao has not been with the concubine for a long time, she knows her temperament best: "Manny, now the emperor has raised you as a concubine, and Hui concubine is pregnant again. These are all happy events. The empress should go and tell the concubine. Yes, let the imperial concubine be happy.
Xiang Fei laughed when she heard this, "Mother is right, how can these many happy events not be shared with others!" After speaking, she immediately called someone in to freshen up her.
Looking at Xiang Shi who scolded the maid for combing her hair again for carelessness, Mother Gao shook her head slightly beside her. If there is a choice, Grandma Gao is not willing to be loyal to the concubine Xiang. This woman is narrow-minded, short-sighted, shallow-insighted, and has no means. How can such a person contend with Concubine Han? But there was no way, Xiang Shi took control of her nephew and grandson. She didn't want to involve her nephew's family, she could only compromise.
Yan Wushuang found out the details of Grandma Gao and knew why she was loyal to the Xiang family. As long as Grandma is fine, he won't care about other things.
Concubine Xiang went to Zhanghua Palace with a look of spring breeze, and when she went back, she was also very satisfied.
Grandma Gao did not follow the Concubine Xiang to Zhanghua Palace, she frowned when she saw Concubine Xiang's happy expression. Taking advantage of the time when Concubine Xiang went to change clothes in the inner room, she asked Cuihua who was following: "Why is the empress so happy?"
Cuihua lowered her voice and said, "The imperial concubine is pregnant with Huili, her face is very ugly." As long as Yuchen is not happy, Xiangfei will be happy.
Grandma's brow furrowed deeper, and Concubine Han was different from Concubine Xiang, who was a powerful character with no expression of joy and anger. It stands to reason that knowing that the concubine Xiangfei has been promoted and the concubine is pregnant, not only will she be happy, but she will also be rewarded. Today's behavior is very abnormal.
At this moment, Yuchen's reward arrived. The rewards of this harem are nothing more than jewelry, satin, herbs, and furnishings.
Concubine Xiang picked the best from them, and then said to Grandma Gao: "Pick some of them and send them to Huimei!" She was very impatient to see Huimei, especially when she knew she was pregnant. She didn't want to meet anymore, so she entrusted her to the grandmother for this errand.
Grandma Gao looked at Xiangfei and said something intentionally, but she swallowed the words in the end. Concubine Xiang was proud, if she said more, she would be upset.
That evening, Falcon received the news from Yang Duoming. Falcon said to Chiying: "The princess got the treasure of the Wu family, and ordered Han Jianming to prepare food and grass, fearing that she would attack the capital." When she said this, a rare smile appeared on Falcon's face. He waited for this day for too long.
Chi Ying thought for a while and asked: "Boss, if the prince wants to attack the capital, he should notify us in advance!" It is impossible to hide such a big thing from them.
When Falcon heard this, he calmed down and thought for a while and said: "You are right. If you really want to attack the capital, you must make preparations in advance. Since the prince and the princess did not let us inquire about this information, the facts may be different. I don't think the same." He also knows Yun Qing, and he has always made sufficient preparations for wars like this, and will not start a war rashly.
Chi Ying smiled and said: "No matter what the prince and the princess are planning, it is always a good thing to get such a huge sum of money anyway."
Falcon hummed and said, "The prince is not planning to attack the capital for the time being, so it doesn't prevent us from spreading the news."
Chi Ying said: "Once this news is spread, it will definitely cause panic among the officials and the people." Once the people panic, there will be chaos, and they can do a lot of things in the chaos. During this time, they were suffocated to death.
Falcon nodded.
On the second day, it was rumored that King Ming was leading his troops to attack the capital, and even Yun Qing was talking about the fact that he was moving troops from all around. The rumors grew stronger and stronger, and within two days, even the scumbag heard the news.
Even Yu Rong, who was in the back house, had heard this rumor. When I heard of the war, I felt a little panicked. Yu Rong said hurriedly, "Hurry up and invite Mr. Gao over."
Seeing Mr. Gao, Yu Rong asked nervously: "Mr. Gao, it is spreading outside now that King Ming is arranging his troops to attack the capital. Mr. Gao, is this rumor true?"
Mr. Gao said: "This is probably just a rumor, not true."
Yurong was even more worried when she heard this: "Mr. Gao also dare not be sure?"
Mr. Gao smiled bitterly and said, "This is different from the past. The news I can inquire is limited, so I dare not judge this rumor to be false."
Yu Rong thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, let's save more grain!" If it really comes in, it will be difficult to buy grain by then, and even if it is available, the price will be surprisingly expensive.
Mr. Gao nodded and said, "Okay." In fact, they had already stored food for several months before. But just in case, more food is better.
Those rice merchants were not fools either. Hearing the news that the war was about to start, they closed the shop after selling the grain in the shop. By the next day, several rice shops had opened, but the price of grain had tripled from the previous day. This is so, and people who buy grain are also in an endless stream.
