The dragon flies and the phoenix falls

"Uncle and Brother Zhen just left for a while, and I thought they didn't find you."

Yuanchun's voice came from behind the screen, with a hint of joy in its gentleness.

Obviously, going out to the palace to fight the siege put her in a good mood.

"If I knew you could still come, I would have asked them to wait."

Although it wasn't far here, Feng Yibo still felt a dull pain in his inner thigh after riding for a while.

As soon as his butt touched the bench and he wanted to relax, he quickly stood up and replied:

"I hope you'll forgive me for keeping my queen waiting for so long!"

"Haha! I didn't blame you for sitting around."

Seeing his restraint, Yuan Chun couldn't help but chuckle twice and said again:

"It's rare that I can leave the palace again, so I thought about meeting my family. Unfortunately, my father and Baoyu didn't follow me, so I called you to talk with me."

After working for a long time, I just made up the numbers?

Hearing the ease in Yuanchun's words, Feng Yibo no longer felt restrained.

Now he spread his legs slightly and sat down on the bench.

As if chatting about everyday things, he smiled and said:

"So that the empress will know that I have just come back from overseas, and I haven't had time to go to Rong Mansion to meet the old lady, let alone my uncle and brother Bao."

After a pause, he added:

"I must have told uncle and brother Zhen, right?"

Yuanchun seemed to like this atmosphere very much, and his words became more cordial, saying:

"On the contrary, I said that they are all very good. They also said that Baoyu has made progress recently. He has begun to be friendly with his brothers and has become close to Brother Huan."

Baoyu and Jia Huan?

Feng Yibo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then echoed with a smile:

"Brother Bao used to be closer to his sisters, but now he is closer to his brothers too. Apparently he has grown up."

It is said that an eldest sister is like a mother, and Baoyu was brought up by Yuanchun when she was a child.

Therefore, Baoyu really looks like a child raised by himself.

Yuanchun naturally likes to hear this.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional and said:

"Yes, in a blink of an eye, Baoyu is already thirteen, so it's time to arrange a marriage for him."

Just after saying this, Yuanchun suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Speaking of marriage, I heard my mother say before me that your marriage to Sister Xue is scheduled for the fifteenth day of this month. Is it still too late?"

After Feng Yibo came back and before Emperor Jingshun decided to launch a siege, he had already agreed on the marriage.

Mrs. Wang happened to enter the palace at that time, so she mentioned the matter.

Now when it comes to Baoyu's marriage, Yuan Chun naturally thinks of Feng Yibo in front of him.

Feng Yibo didn't think much about it, he just smiled and replied:

"It was originally scheduled for September 15th, but now that there is a siege, it has been changed to September 25th. It's too late anyway."

Because the siege was delayed, Yuanchun didn't know how to comfort him, so he just said:

"It's a blessing in disguise."

Feng Yibo naturally did not show any dissatisfaction at this time, and took the opportunity to express his position:

"Not less than ten days and a half, Kuang is lucky enough to be awarded a medal, which no one else can ask for."

"Feng Yuan is blessed with divine grace, so he should give priority to state affairs and not worry about some family matters."

These words were so thoughtful that no one could find fault with them.

Yuan Chun's shadow on the screen moved slightly, apparently nodding, and then she said again:

"I have made a note of it. I will ask the Holy One for a royal decree when the time comes and ask for a royal decree for Sister Xue."

This is a promise she made long ago, and she will naturally not forget it.

Feng Yibo was delighted when he heard this, and immediately stood up again and said:

"Thank you so much, ma'am!"

The two of them just chatted about their daily life.

Feng Yibo is well-informed and thoughtful in his words.

There's nothing he can't talk to.

Just like a qualified compliment.

I was so excited to talk about it in Yuanchun that it lasted almost half an hour before I knew it.

Feng Yibo felt that it was almost done and was about to get up and leave.

But suddenly I heard people outside shouting and neighing.

Yuan Chun also heard it and immediately ordered:

"Eunuch Lao Xia, go and see what's going on outside, but don't disturb the Holy Master."

"yes!"

Xia Shouzhong immediately responded and went out to investigate the news.

After only going out for a while, he turned back and shouted:

"Something is going on! The Tatars are coming!"

Xia Shouzhong's face was full of panic. He didn't even salute, but said in a hurry:

"It's said outside that people from all over the country have reported that Gubeikou is about to be closed!"

"What?"

Behind the screen, Yuanchun stood up suddenly and said in disbelief:

"The Tatars have broken through?"

Feng Yibo on the side was also secretly surprised, thinking about what he should do.

Xia Shouzhong said anxiously at this time:

"It's almost time! Your Majesty has returned to the capital first. I'll have someone prepare the car right now. Please come with me, Madam!"

Gubeikou is located 30 miles northeast of Huanghai Iron Mountain.

If you are really defeated by the Tatar cavalry, you will be here almost instantly!

No wonder Emperor Jingshun left in a hurry.

If it is delayed, the Wei Dynasty may have to deal with many Jingkang affairs!

But even if you leave, you should at least take Yuan Chun with you!

Feng Yibo still had something to think about, but Yuan Chun had already changed into casual clothes under the service of the palace maid.

Before he had time to take off the phoenix crown, he had already rushed out.

At this moment, another eunuch came to report. As soon as he entered the room, he said:

"I would like to inform you, my dear, someone in the capital just reported that the Tatar army is attacking Gubeikou and may not be able to defend it!"

"Where is the Holy One now?"

Yuanchun obviously did not believe that Emperor Jingshun would abandon her and return to Beijing alone.

If she was really captured by the Tatars, Emperor Jingshun would not be able to save his face even if he returned to Beijing.

And when she thought about it, it was undoubtedly safest to be with Emperor Jingshun at this time.

It's a pity that she was disappointed.

The little eunuch thought she was worried about Emperor Jingshun, so he immediately replied:

"Don't worry, Madam, your Majesty is being protected by the Dragon Guard and has already left on horseback!"

Most of the Dragon Guards are children of aristocratic families, and naturally they are divided into several factions just like their fathers.

Most of the Dragon Guards who followed the emperor this time were new nobles.

Just like that Qiu Peng.

Only then did Feng Yibo understand that no wonder Emperor Jingshun left without Yuanchun.

Now it seems that they may have left it behind on purpose!
