Pei Xiner smiled a little melancholy, sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "Mrs. Ning, you also know, how can we women in the inner chamber know about this kind of thing? Although our master is a general of the imperial court, but

This woman still knows the rules about not being involved in politics, and she won’t talk to me about things in the court on weekdays. When you ask about these things, I really don’t know. I am also worried. You are the wife of the Minister of War. I don’t know.

Have you heard anything from your master?"

Then Mrs. Ning smiled awkwardly, neither answering nor not answering her questions. If she answered, wouldn't it mean that the Minister of War ignored the rules and talked about matters in the court to her, a woman?

However, her master did have some information with her. Now that she saw that the legendary Aunt Pei, who was extremely favored, could not get the slightest information from General Yongwei, she felt a little proud and wanted to show off.

The impulse is very strong.

Pei Xiner looked at her calmly, knowing that she must have heard some inside information. She did not dare to ask Zhao Yutang about the border affairs, but she was very concerned. Naturally, she hoped that Mrs. Ning could tell her and let her know more.

.At this time, several other ladies also saw Mrs. Ning's tangled mood. They were all family members of important ministers. If a war broke out, which master would not be involved? So they all spoke out.

Encourage Mrs. Na Ning to speak up quickly.

Seeing that everyone was so flattering, Mrs. Ning's sense of vanity was greatly satisfied. She immediately threw the first half of Pei Xiner's words out of her mind and pretended to be embarrassed for a while. Then she cleared her throat and started talking.

It turns out that the Beirong army this year is indeed different from the "Autumn Wind" in previous years. According to the emergency report sent back from the border, although the current fighting between the two sides is still a small-scale contact battle, traces of large-scale mobilization of the Beirong army have been found.

A rough estimate is that tens of thousands of Beirong troops have gathered on the border, and a large-scale all-out war may break out at any time. Not only are the border defenders on alert and ready for action, but the Ministry of War has also begun to order the surrounding areas.

The army is moving towards the border to support the war. The imperial court is also preparing for the war with all its strength. The household department has been very busy with military rations recently. This has also been confirmed by the wife of the minister of household department.

As Pei Xin'er listened, her heart sank to the bottom. If this trend continued, it was almost certain that Zhao Yutiao would lead the army on the expedition. However, since he confided in her last time and made her suddenly nervous, he would no longer do so.

Talking to her about this matter, she had only just heard the recent news from the wife of another family, and her heart suddenly became heavy. Even the beautiful scenery of flowers suddenly lost its color, and it was difficult for her to see it anymore.

.

A group of ladies were excited to talk when they suddenly heard a song. The queen and the eldest princess arrived. Everyone hurriedly stopped talking and knelt down together, saying: "The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old. Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is a thousand years old."

A thousand years old, a thousand years old.”

The queen wore a bright red phoenix robe, and was accompanied by the princess in a light purple palace dress. She walked in front of everyone with great grace, walked up to the phoenix throne, glanced down, and said with a graceful smile:

"Everyone, please get up."

Pei Xin'er stood up together with everyone else. The Imperial Garden, which had been bustling just now, was completely silent. No one dared to be presumptuous in front of the Queen. Everyone stood in silence with their eyes and noses in mind, waiting for the Queen's instructions.

The queen's eyes passed over them one by one. Then she smiled slowly and said: "The autumn weather is brisk and the flowers are blooming in the imperial garden. The eldest princess is so happy that she specially invites all ladies.

The young lady is here to share the beautiful scenery. She is the master today, and I am just here to have fun. You don’t have to be restrained. It’s rare for us to get together and enjoy ourselves.”

That's what she said, but who dares to take it seriously? Even the eldest princess doesn't dare to treat herself as her master. A princess who is a concubine and is not the queen's biological child cannot be in the queen's care after all.

Although he was impudent in front of him, he lowered his head quietly and listened quietly. He just smiled obediently at the Queen's gaze and did not dare to say anything.

However, no one dared to refute the Queen's words, so the ladies of several ministers' families who were usually favored by the saints echoed a few words, which finally settled the situation, and the scene gradually became lively again. However, the Queen and

With the princess present, everyone finally restrained themselves and did not dare to act recklessly. After all, it was a bit more deserted than before.

Pei Xin'er was quite decent in front of the Queen, but she knew that her status was not as good as the wives of the royal family, so she stood behind the crowd very wisely, silently, and did not join in the fun.

The queen chatted with the wives of several important ministers, then looked in the direction of Pei Xiner, and said with a smile: "Now that Mrs. Pei is here, why are you standing so far away? I may not see you anymore, soon

Come and talk to me."

Pei Xin'er originally hid in the crowd and didn't want to attract attention, but the Queen's words pushed her to the front of everyone's eyes. All kinds of envious and jealous eyes immediately glanced at her. No one could understand her low status.

How could a concubine from a humble background be so valued by the Queen, but no one dared to make irresponsible remarks to her face to face. They could only watch with envy and jealousy as she stepped forward at the Queen's call. The Queen

He even gave her a seat next to him.

Although Pei Xiner was not afraid of their looks, she still couldn't help but feel a little numb. She stepped forward and thanked the queen for the reward. She leaned half of her body and sat down on the seat. She smiled slightly and said, "People

I would like to thank you for remembering me. I haven’t seen you for many days, but you are still as charming as ever. I am very happy for you.”

The queen pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I know you can talk, but I don't see you coming into the palace much on weekdays. I am bored living in the palace, so you should come and talk to me more often."

The Queen is in charge of the Sixth Palace. There are probably too many things to do on weekdays. In addition, the court has been uneasy recently. As a Queen, she should be too busy to be busy. How could she be "bored"? Pei Xin'er just laughed after hearing this.

He said humbly: "Thanks to the favor of the empress, the commoner woman is afraid that her knowledge is shallow, her words are incomprehensible, and she cannot relieve the boredom of the empress."

The Queen smiled and said: "Based on what you said, you can't say 'words are meaningless'. It's better to go to the palace more often."

Pei Xiner could only agree. Whether she wanted to do it or not was another matter.

The queen was very considerate to her and let the wives of the important ministers go back, leaving her alone to talk. The others were very jealous and wanted to pull her down and replace her with their own bodies, but they did not dare to do it before the queen

She was so presumptuous in front of her that she didn't even dare to look at her, so she could only suppress the jealousy in her heart, pretending to be nothing, talking and laughing with the people around her, or trying to please and flatter her around the eldest princess.

Pei Xiner looked at her coldly while she was talking to the queen again, and saw that the eldest princess was indeed trained by the queen. Although she was not very old, every move she made was full of royal nobility, but she did not appear arrogant. Among a group of ladies, young ladies

Among them, his temperament alone is much higher than them, and he has the feeling of standing out from the crowd, showing his royal style.

She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard the queen beside her ask with a smile: "How about it, Mrs. Pei, can you still be impressed by the eldest princess's performance?"

Pei Xin'er couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the queen in astonishment, and said hurriedly: "The eldest princess Hui Zhilan has a pure heart, she is noble and elegant, even a common woman is far behind, how can she say that she is 'eye-catching'?" The common woman looked at Your Highness, she was really surprised.

I feel a little ashamed of myself!”

The queen was very happy, smiled and waved her hands and said: "What you said is a bit exaggerated, but you are still a child, how can it be better? But even though you are a child, you have already reached the time where you can see each other.

I am troubled by this. Although this child is not my biological child, she has been raised by me since she was a child. I am not boasting. From childhood to adulthood, I have been conscientious and meticulous in educating her.

Yes, seeing that the child is getting older, I want to find a good family for her so that she can live a safe and happy life in the future, so that I can feel at ease!"

Pei Xiner was stunned again. Why did the queen say such things to her? The princess wanted to find her husband's family, but why couldn't she find it? What's so troublesome about this?

She was a little confused, so she could only follow the queen's words: "What the empress said is that the women also feel that the eldest princess is really gentle and generous, and she is worthy of the attention of the future prince-in-law. I don't know who will be lucky enough to become the eldest princess in the future."

The prince-in-law, that must be the good luck gained through cultivation in three lifetimes!"

The queen's eyes lit up and she looked at her and said, "Does Mrs. Pei think so too? That's great! I heard that the eldest son in General Zhao's residence is very good. The friendship between General Zhao and the emperor is extraordinary.

I am very close to you, and it would be the best thing if we could go one step further and become a son-in-law, what do you think?"

Pei Xiner was immediately stunned.

She never dreamed that the queen would have such thoughts and want to connect Brother Dun and the eldest princess?!

God, Brother Dun is a full three years younger than the eldest princess! So even though she just heard the queen's words, she never thought about it at all. In her opinion, what kind of husband would the eldest princess want to find?

Can't find her? She has to find someone who is older than her and can care for others. Can a little guy like Brother Dun be able to serve the princess well in the future?!

She was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a long while, she finally found some voice and stammered: "Thank you so much for your appreciation, but... it's just Brother Dun's."
