But Xi Ning couldn't sleep due to the chatter.

She lay down with her eyes closed and asked leisurely: "Why did you think of coming here?"

The eldest brother turned sideways: "I have a few ideas, but the roads are all blocked, so I can only run outside the city."

"Are there no officers and soldiers guarding the city?" She frowned slightly. Logically speaking, no matter which country or dynasty, there will always be someone guarding the city gate. Even this Zhuangzi used to have two or three guards taking turns guarding the gate.

Now that he is here, he is just a grasshopper on a rope, and the eldest brother knows everything and can't stop talking about it: "Some of Prince Dunkang's relatives are responsible for guarding the city gate."

The troops and horses were controlled by Fujiwara Michinaga's line, who always wanted to give his brother from the Fujiwara family a way to survive, so the task of guarding the city gate was left to another line.

It was indeed a good strategy to force Michichi Fujiwara and his son to be killed outside the city. After all, they stayed in the city for too long and caused too much disturbance, which attracted the city's defenders, and these officers and soldiers were the soldiers of Michichi Fujiwara.

.

As a result, the assassin failed to ambush him and only shot and wounded Mr. Fujiwara. The Fujiwara father and son were forced to flee outside the city and hid in the village.

Xi Ning tried hard to search the memory of that time from the body owner's mind. He didn't know whether it was because the news was tightly blocked at that time, or because he was afraid that the women and children at home would be worried. He just said that Fujiwara Michichiro was frightened when he encountered a cow on his way home.

But if you think about it carefully, during the month when Michichi Fujiwara was recuperating, only the fifth and sixth brothers came to visit his father. The other brothers said that they were very busy without their father.

This is very abnormal. Even the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and the Central Palace came back to pay a compassionate visit. Why didn't the brothers come? Later, the eldest brother and the second brother came, but they felt unwell at first glance. Or maybe they were sick.

A minor illness, or just too busy with state affairs.

It wasn't until a month after Fujiwara nobashi became a monk, and half a month later, that the fourth brother appeared. He was very weak, and it took him two full months to get better.

Because Mr. Fujiwara was injured, the master did not participate in the annual spring singing party.

It was a dance party held by the royal family. The ladies were asked to wear twelve singles of fine clothes and dance while walking on a square stage. To put it harshly, they just walked a few steps and turned around, then walked a few more steps and turned around.

A circle. In the season of spring, it is customary for a group of girls to dance to please the gods and pray for safety and success.

The purpose is to let powerful people take a look at the noble girls who have not yet left the court, so that they can easily choose the ones they want to marry in the future.

However, the Song Festival was not held that year until the spring of the next year. When another Song Festival was held, the appearance of the eleven-year-old body shocked everyone. The nine-year-old prince was moved and recruited him into the palace as a minister.

At this time, Mr. Fujiwara had become a monk. Feeling that his status was in jeopardy, Hikiko recognized his eldest brother as his adoptive father. Two years later, he entered the prince's palace, and his master also moved in with him.

Four years later, Xizi died after giving birth to the first prince. Didn't the owner become the crown prince? Because she also died soon after giving birth.

What does a nine-year-old know? It’s not like seeing others amazed and thinking it looks good, then it’s okay. Otherwise, why? A ten-year-old king? A nineteen-year-old queen is so awesome, this jealous person won’t make a fuss.

I rubbed my face, what a mess.

Xining sat up, thought for a while and then ordered the people in the kitchen to chop wood, set up pots and roast meat.

As soon as I heard there was meat to eat? Not everyone in the kitchen helped.

Looking at the yard planted with various plum trees, a group of people were busy. The brothers were stunned again.

The second brother was speechless. It took him a while to come back to his senses and asked, "Why are you roasting meat?"

"When marching to fight, or before attacking a city and defending it, the soldiers need to be fed and drunk." Xining simply stopped sleeping, found a place, wrapped himself in a quilt, and sat up.

The eldest brother understood: "Do you think this guy Dunkang will come in?"

"Yeah~" Xining responded casually: "Akui, take a few people to the warehouse and move the fireworks that were not set off during the New Year here."

When she came back, Mrs. Akiko asked someone to put a basket of fireworks, but she was too lazy to set them off, so she threw them into the warehouse. Besides, Fujiwara Mansion was having a New Year's Eve dinner with the Tenno Nakamiya and the Crown Prince, but she was setting off fireworks alone here. It was said that

To go out is to have fun in misery, and even to despise the queen and the prince's daughter-in-law.

She had figured it out. In the previous plot, Prince Atsuyasu chased the manor, and Michinaga Fujiwara and his four sons escaped by chance. However, the fourth son should have fallen into the hands of Prince Atsuyasu and was not rescued until a month and a half later.

.

The condition was that Mr. Fujiwara gave up his power, so Mr. Fujiwara became a monk. But after he became a monk, his other sons were still there.

In the previous plot, Prince Dunkang fell seriously ill not long after his death. He had to shave his head and become a monk, but he died very quickly. He was only 20 years old when he died. His only four-year-old daughter was adopted by his eldest brother.

In this year, not only did the Fujiwara family undergo earth-shaking changes, but the head of the family, the powerful Fujiwara Michizhang, became a monk, and Prince Atsuyasu died directly. It’s ridiculous to think about it now. Before Fujiwara Michizhang officially became a monk,

Prince Atsuyasu became a monk first, and when Master Fujiwara was eating fast and chanting Buddha, Prince Atsuyasu was buried in the grave.

Prince Dunkang is indeed too young, how could he possibly outplay this old fox?

I only remember that after the cow was frightened, it not only bumped into Fujiwara Nozomi, but also many people. For this reason, Mrs. Akiko sighed and had to spend a lot of money. If this was the case, what happened to the people in the village at that time?

Bring the pieces of pork, cut some into small pieces, and boil them directly in the pot. Others are sliced, prepared and fried with winter bamboo shoots and miso paste. Pour the rice into another pot and add water to boil.

A basket of fireworks was brought in, and Xi Ning motioned to put it aside and told the younger Sixth Brother: "Sixth Brother, I'll leave this to you. As soon as you see people from Dunkang rushing in, light them immediately."

Brother Six picked up a firework bomb that looked like a bomb: "Are you reporting the news?"

"Yes!" Xining pointed to the brazier next to him, not to panic and arrange other things.

If people from Dunkang rush in, it means that they don't have to worry about anything and quickly set off fireworks for the soldiers and horses in the capital to see. Now that the festival is over, if they see someone setting off fireworks in the middle of the night, they will definitely come over to see what's going on.

"Why not let it go now?" Sixth Brother was confused and got hit on the back of his head.

"Idiot!" The second brother slapped him, and he was very angry: "If you send a signal now, doesn't it mean that we are here?"

If you hate iron but can't make steel, no wonder you would recognize someone as your mother. You are so stupid.

The meat was being cooked in the pot, and was being turned over in the oil pot. The rice was burning next to it, and soon the aroma came out.

In order to eat it as quickly as possible, I turned up the heat and stirred the pot faster with the shovel. The swishing sound felt like the best sound in the world right now.
