"You kid, you don't have any other skills, but you take care of your wife very closely!"
The queen looked at Xia Lishuang and never left Wen Ranran, and couldn't help but smile and tease.
Xia Lishuang smiled elegantly, showing a bit of shyness.
"Isn't this, you are also here to see your mother?"
The queen was too lazy to talk to the boy, so she just motioned to the maid aside to get another cup of tea.
The aunt in charge on the side was about to go, but Hu Duoer got there first.
Wen Ranran blinked, with a hint of danger in her eyes.
Taking advantage of Hu Duo'er's break to make tea, Wen Ranran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My mother has been really wronged these days!"
Queen Tao smiled, knowing that Wen Ranran was talking about Hu Duoer.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you two can be fine!"
Wen Ranran and Xia Lishuang looked at each other, only to find a trace of deep worry between the other's brows.
"Ms. sir, my father asked you to go to the study just now, but what happened?"
When Xia Lishuang heard this, the expression on her face became a little solemn.
"Well, the battle report came from the southwest border today...Lan State is harassing our border and has started a war!"
"What?!" Wen Ranran and the Queen were both shocked.
Until the last congratulatory banquet, Lan Guo still respected Rong Guo and had no intention of starting a war at that time.
And it has only been a few months, why did the war suddenly start?
"Can you find out the reason?" The queen frowned and asked.
Xia Lishuang shook his head.
"It's not clear yet. Therefore, the most troublesome thing now is that we just got the news that General Yu's army was captured by unknown local forces when they returned to the court. Now, General Yu's whereabouts are unknown, and the army is leaderless. It is temporarily left
Stay in the southwest."
Wen Ranran lowered her eyelashes.
When I was helping the emperor handle memorials before, the memorials sent back by the army were very problematic.
The founding of Rongguo has only lasted for three generations.
From the time Taizu raised troops to conquer the territory, to the first emperor to establish imperial power, and then to the current emperor to succeed to the throne, it only took a hundred years.
The late emperor had five sons in total. The prince died in a palace coup, the second prince guarded the northern border, the third prince rebelled and later hanged himself, and the fifth prince was sent to the southwest.
The current emperor is the fourth prince who was unknown at the time. When he came to the throne, the country was also in depression and turmoil. Over the years, he has worked hard to govern, not only annexed Anguo and expanded its territory, but Rongguo can now be regarded as peaceful and peaceful.
The king of Shu who now guards the southwest was the fifth prince at that time.
This time Lan Guo's attack came unexpectedly, and just at this time, Yu Zheng's army was trapped in the southwest.
The whole thing seemed extremely weird.
Once the military power gathers in the southwest, it will definitely be a great threat to the capital.
It's no wonder that Emperor Huang didn't bother to eat today, and just grabbed Xia Lishuang and held a meeting in the imperial study until dark.
"This matter will probably be released in the morning tomorrow morning. My father is probably going to have a headache for a while lately. You must not make any mistakes in the selection of female officials!"
Xia Lishuang warned Wen Ranran diligently.
Wen Ranran nodded, indicating that he knew what was going on.
"Your Highness, please have some tea~" The sound of the smell of tea made all three of them shut up.
Wen Ranran was almost dumbfounded as she watched Hu Duoer holding a tea cup and walking towards Xia Lishuang in a pretentious manner.
In such a short period of time, Hu Duoer actually put on her makeup again. She looked as pretty as a flower, with shy and timid eyes, secretly flirting with her.
Wen Ranran's heart twitched.
Is this... openly robbing her of her husband in front of her mother-in-law? Isn't she a little too confident?
