It seemed that as long as Jun Ning didn't open his mouth, speak, or breathe loudly, there wouldn't be any noise in Nuo Da's room.

Jun Ning looked at the tensed faces in front of her. The hand holding the chopsticks looking for delicious food suddenly froze in mid-air. It stayed frozen for a long time and did not fall down again.

I used to have a full appetite, but now I have no appetite at all.

She put down her chopsticks.

The Queen Mother, who was sitting next to Emperor Yongning, saw Jun Ning put down her chopsticks and asked with concern: "Yiyi, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop eating? But you don't like today's dish?"

"Come here..." The Queen Mother was about to ask someone to change the dishes, replacing them with the ones Jun Ning liked in the past.

Jun Ning stopped her, "Grandma Huang, today's food is delicious. I like it very much, but..."

"Just what?" The Queen Mother looked at Jun Ning with a smile.

Jun Ning said: "Can any of you tell me what happened? Why are you all so sad?"

It's fine if we don't say it openly, and everyone is worried in their hearts. Once we say it openly, it's over, everyone's mood becomes heavier and they lose their appetite. Even those who have appetite don't

I dare to use my chopsticks rashly.

Everyone was silent for a while.

With such a big Delin Hall, if you think about it, even if a pin drops, everyone will hear the sound.

As the person who initiated this banquet, Emperor Yongning couldn't sit still. He left a message, "I still have some things to comment on, dear concubines, princes, and princesses, please help yourself." Then he left.

Before leaving, he didn't even look at his precious daughter, whom he had been thinking about for a long time and finally brought back.

He left quickly.

His back looked full of worries, and his back suddenly became less straight. There used to be a little troublesome black hair, but now it's all gray.

It was only at this moment that Jun Ning discovered the changes in Emperor Yongning.

Her father is only in his fifties, not sixty, and his hair is completely white?

What happened during the time she was away? Her father's hair turned all gray from worry?

She got up and chased after him, "Father, please wait for me." She wanted to know what happened, and she wanted to help her father share his worries.

After Emperor Yongning and Jun Ning left, basically no one else had any intention of staying, and they all said goodbye to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother and Concubine Hua who were left behind looked at each other and sighed.

Jun Ning trotted after Emperor Yongning for a long time, and finally caught up with Emperor Yongning, but was separated from the imperial study by Emperor Yongning. Emperor Yongning did not want to see Jun Ning at the moment, and asked Xiao Lizi to see Jun Ning off in person.

go back.

Jun Ning refused to go back because she insisted on seeing Emperor Yongning.

If Emperor Yongning didn't see her, she would wait at the door. She believed that as long as she was firm enough and sincere enough, the emperor would definitely see her.

But she waited and waited, and when she accidentally fell asleep at the door of the imperial study, Emperor Yongning did not see her.

The lights in the imperial study room were always on, and Jun Ning slept outside for most of the night.

When she arrived, a pair of strong arms hugged her, carried her to a warm room, and covered her with a thick quilt.

Jun Ning was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. When she felt the warmth, she fell into a deep sleep without thinking much.

Emperor Yongning walked out of the imperial study. Outside the imperial study, he said to Xiao Lizi displeasedly: "Little Lizi, how can you let Yiyi sleep outside? How on earth do you do things?"

"My servant has already asked the princess to go back, but I didn't expect that she didn't go back..." Xiao Lizi knelt down and admitted his mistake, "My servant made a mistake, please give me a heavy punishment."

Emperor Yongning glanced sideways at Xiao Lizi who was kneeling on the ground, "I won't do this next time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Lizi thanked the Queen and stood up.

Emperor Yongning looked at the not-so-round moon in the sky and muttered: "Is there really no solution to this matter?"

Xiao Lizi stood aside and said nothing.

After autumn, the nights became particularly long. Emperor Yongning finished approving the memorial and initially drafted the spring plowing plan for the coming year, but it was still dark.

He was a little anxious and wanted the sky to light up quickly so that he could convene the ministers to discuss matters, but the sky would not light up.

Xiao Lizi persuaded him to go to sleep for a while, but he didn't go to bed either.

For many days in a row, Emperor Yongning had not slept peacefully. Most of the time, he stayed awake all night.

When Jun Ning woke up the next day, she found that she was sleeping on the dragon bed in the imperial study room. She looked for Emperor Yongning nearby as usual, but she couldn't find him.

She got up in despair, and was helped by servants to wash and eat.

After finishing the meal, she did not return to Weiyang Hall. She was waiting for Emperor Yongning to come back from the court. She planned to ask Emperor Yongning again what happened.

However, after going to court, there were several ministers who came back with Emperor Yongning, all of whom were military generals.

However, they are all generals with mediocre qualifications.

Jun Ning had heard Emperor Yongning talk about these people before. When Father Qi was alive, these people had always disliked Father Qi and would not deal with them.

But compared to Daddy Qi, the distance between them can be described as heaven and earth.

They can't even compare to a finger of Daddy Qi.

Under normal circumstances, these people are leading troops on the school field and are not often seen in the palace. What happened today? Why did they enter the palace? Are they gathered together like this?

It seems that not only are they here, but Cui Tai, the former general who protects the country and the master who single-handedly brought out Qi's father, is now eighty-five years old and has retired to his hometown to take care of his old age. He is actually out of the mountain again?

This...this, what's going on.

Is there going to be a war?

But when Jun Ning came back, didn't he hear that there was going to be a war?

Jun Ning became more and more curious. What happened to bring all these people together?

She hid behind the screen behind the Yongning Emperor's chair, raised her ears, and listened carefully to what they were saying.

"Your Majesty, please let me go. I am willing to be wrapped in horse leather and die on the battlefield."

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to request an order to go to the battlefield."

Under the leadership of the former Protector General, the generals knelt on the ground and asked for orders to fight on the battlefield.

Emperor Yongning thought about it for several days, but still disagreed with the war. He said with a headache: "Everyone must know that winter is coming soon. If we start a war, the chance of winning is slim. What's more, this year's grain output is not

The country's food reserves are not high, and the national food stocks are not large, so we do not have the conditions for war."

Cui Tai vomited several breaths and said: "But if there is no war, Bei Xia will rush into the imperial capital and step on our heads, Your Majesty!"

The last sentence of General Cui Tai's words was very harsh, which shows his worry and anxiety.
