Huo Zichong immediately led his troops to resist. After a night of fighting, he led his troops to pursue the Japanese pirates for thirty miles, but was caught in an ambush.
"How come there are so many Japanese pirates?" The deputy general didn't understand, but Huo Zichong was trapped, and there was no one to lead the army, so what should we do
"Rescue General Huo first, destroy the Japanese pirates, and then find out the source." The emperor said solemnly: "It's better for me to lead the troops."
In this situation, he couldn't leave at all.
Eunuch Qin sighed, thought for a while, and sent a message back for the emperor, asking Gong Yuhou to take care of Hua Shi first.
Huachun's life has finally entered a stage of dire straits. She didn't dare to let Qingyou hang out in front of the queen mother, so she only brought Ruier. can see each other.
For these two pregnant concubines, the Queen Mother treated them equally, all food and drink were cooked in the same pot, and Aunt Yue Jian personally handled all of them, and there were three imperial doctors to supervise them, ensuring that they were comprehensive.
Seeing this, Huachun can also have a snack, at least eat well and sleep well.
However, the palace people's attitude towards them is completely different. Although she didn't go out of Huiming Palace, Hua Chun could hear a lot of rumors, probably talking about who the child in her stomach was, and even brought He Chang'an and didn't dare to enter the palace too often, and only visited her once every five days , By the way, please greet the Queen Mother.
If this was in the modern age, when everyone poked their backs and suspected that her stomach was a wild species, Hua Chun would have been angry long ago. However, the human brain circuits here are different, and the customs and customs are also different. She can only persuade herself to look away and wait for the emperor to come back.
"I heard that the emperor met Japanese pirates." Sitting beside the queen mother, Wu Guifei said worriedly: "How can this be good, in case you get hurt..."
The queen mother lowered her eyes: "The emperor is the world on horseback, so you don't have to worry too much."
Having said that, she was actually thinking about it in her heart.
Hua Chun glanced at Concubine Wu, and said in a low voice: "Although the concubine is also worried, but it is near Prince Xi's fiefdom. The emperor and Prince Xi have a deep brotherhood, and Prince Xi will protect him with all his strength."
The queen mother nodded: "That's right, Xi'er will help the emperor too. The pirates came here strangely, and there should be something hidden behind it. However, it's not something we women should worry about. You two should take good care of yourself until the emperor comes back." Bar."
"Yes." Hua Chun nodded obediently.
Concubine Wu Gui pursed her lips, and affectionately took the Queen Mother's hand and said, "My concubine is worried about the Emperor, and also worried about Prince Xi for the Queen Mother. The Emperor's business has fought many battles in Qiushan, and I don't know who it is. Prince Xi It’s not good to help, it’s not good not to help. When we meet Japanese pirates again, maybe someone with malicious intentions will blame Prince Xi, and then drive a wedge between the emperor and the prince.”
Is this considered an early vaccination? Hua Chun raised her eyebrows. She bet that the matter of two packs of small fish being used by Japanese pirates would definitely have something to do with Prince Xi. Related, doesn't the queen mother have to blame the emperor for being tricked by others
Talking is really a great art. What to say and how to say it seems to be a trivial matter, and you don't need to care about it, but if you put it in front of influential people, it may lead to many different results.
So she also opened her mouth: "The blood between the emperor and Prince Xi is thicker than water, and no one can separate them. But Wu Guifei is worried about the wrong person? If Prince Xi is really innocent, no one can wrong him. After all, the queen mother is there Well. We don’t know who the Japanese pirates are related to, and we have to wait for concrete evidence, so don’t worry about it, just listen to the queen mother’s words and have a baby.”
This makes sense, the Queen Mother nodded.
Concubine Wu Gui smiled and looked at her deeply. Hua Chun looked back calmly, also smiling.
So concubine Wu Gui understood that this person was not of my race, and he was obviously opposed to her.
"Ms. Defei."
When I went back to rest in the side hall, a palace official from the Palace of Sufu came over and said, "The Empress Dowager is ordered to make a set of winter clothes for the empress, and ask the empress to measure the size."
"Yeah." Hua Chun followed her into the inner hall, and looked at the list after measuring, "Do you want to make an inner garment, an outer robe, and a cloak?"
"Yes." The palace man nodded.
Nodding her head, Hua Chun felt that the Queen Mother was gentle, and even made clothes for her.
As a result, Rui'er came back from the outside, half dead with anger: "Don't bring them to bully people like this?"
"What's wrong?" Hua Chun looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"You are a concubine after all. She is just a noble concubine. In the end, she was asked to choose the material for the cloak. The maid next to the noble concubine forcibly snatched the white fox fur that the servants had obtained first!"
Hua Chun tilted his head: "So powerful? Didn't the people next to him say anything?"
It's okay if you don't ask this, but when you ask Rui'er, you will be even angrier: "They didn't say anything, they just watched the servants being bullied, and they didn't even say anything for you."
It was clear that the maid named Xi'er next to Concubine Wu was wrong, there were so many people, no one said anything.
Hua Chun patted her on the shoulder: "I can't help it. Your master and I are in an embarrassing position now, and Concubine Wu Gui is popular. It's normal to be bullied by her."
Rui'er thought about it, she was right, no matter how big the grievance was, she could only swallow it in her stomach.
"Where are you going, Master?" Just as she was comforting herself, she saw Hua Chun stand up and took the cloak beside her.
"Go and chat with the Queen Mother." Hua Chun said.
Rui'er was speechless: "What are you talking about? Didn't you just invite Ann?"
"Talk about the cloak." After tying the knot on the cloak, Hua Chun smiled at her.
What? Rui'er was dumbfounded: "You... didn't you just say that it's normal to be bullied? Now why..."
"Normal is normal. There are too many people in this palace who see people as inferior." Hua Chun gritted his teeth with a smile: "But it doesn't mean that my mother should be so angry!"
Rui'er: "..." My master is as domineering as ever.
There are many things in this world that are normal, such as being bullied by dogs when a tiger falls in Pingyang, or being teased by shrimps in Longyou shallow water, but it does not mean that it is correct. If you have to resist, you have to resist, even if you have a little attitude, no one is born doormat Hey! If you really gave up all the things you should have to Concubine Wu in silence, you might do something crazy in the future.
So Hua Chun went to thank the queen mother gently.
"The empress dowager doesn't even have any new clothes, but she misses my concubine. The concubine is very grateful." She said: "The Sifu Palace has fine white fox fur. The concubine is very comfortable after being seen. Why don't the empress dowager give it to the concubine first?" Make it yourself, otherwise the concubine will not be at ease."
It's useless to say it positively, after all Concubine Wu Gui is more favored by the Queen Mother than her now, so it's fine to say it sideways. People, always have to be flexible.
