Before dawn the next day, the little maid Chun'er who was sleeping in the outer room blushed. Chun'er was only twelve years old and smart. She became one of the eight maids beside Yang Yuhuan. Tonight it was her turn with another maid.
Yinger is on duty.
She kicked her sleeping companion Ying'er with her foot and whispered in her ear: "It's starting again!"
Ying'er was two years older than her and had been serving her mistress for a year. She turned around and muttered, "My brain is sick!"
After listening for a while, Chun'er couldn't help but pretended to be up at night, put on her shoes and tiptoed to the door to eavesdrop. She only faintly heard a sentence, 'Turn your back and get down!'
Suddenly her face turned red and she ran back to the bed and covered her head with the quilt.
At this time, Ying'er suddenly got into her neck, strangled her neck with his hands, and said viciously: "I will give you one last warning, if you eavesdrop at the door again, I will tell the mistress and drive you out of the house."
Chun'er nodded in horror, and Ying'er let her go, "Don't sleep anymore. When you hear the clock knocking, get up and serve the mistress. I'll keep my eyes open for a while."
Ying'er turned around and continued to sleep, but Chun'er didn't dare to sleep anymore and struggled until dawn.
In fact, it’s not her fault. Other people’s little maids have parents at home. The house is small and not soundproof. This kind of thing has long been accustomed to it. But Chun’er has not had a father since she was a child. The two sisters were raised by their mother with all kinds of hardships. She has never been exposed to this kind of thing.
, today was her first day on duty at night, and the mistress's cries faintly came from inside tormented her all night, and she finally fell asleep, but it started again before dawn.
She curled up into a ball, biting her lip, resisting the urge to urinate, and waited for dawn.
At this time, the bell 'ding dong! ding dong!' rang, which was the call from the back room. Ying'er jumped up like an arrow, put on her jacket and rushed into the house. Chun'er also seized the opportunity, got up and ran to the corner in a hurry.
I couldn't bear it either.
In the room, there is a thick big tent, with a small tent inside the big tent. Inside the small tent is the bed. The floor is also covered with thick carpets, which provides sound insulation, warmth and eliminates the need to wear shoes.
Yang Yuhuan put a jade hand on Ying'er's arm and stood up shakily with her naked body. At this time, Chun'er also came in. She quickly covered her mistress with a velvet robe. The two of them supported her mistress and came to the side.
There is a big clean bucket here.
After the mistress had finished paying her respects, he used a warm towel to cleanse her body. Then he helped the mistress back, took off her velvet robe, and the two of them slowly retreated.
Yang Yuhuan got into her husband's arms, put her arms around her husband's neck and said with a smile: "Why don't you go and make yourself comfortable?"
"I'm not in a hurry yet!"
Li Ye hugged Yang Yuhuan's plump body and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Li Lin also has feelings for my wife."
Yang Yuhuan said coquettishly: "You little pervert, didn't you secretly pinch Nujia's fingers when you met Nujia for the first time?"
"When I ascend the throne and become the emperor, I will make you a noble concubine!"
"My husband had three thousand beauties at that time, how could he still remember me, a miserable woman?"
"How can there be three thousand beauties and only three women?"
Yang Yuhuan pressed her face against her husband's chest and said quietly: "Although I hope that my husband will love me forever, with my current identity and status, I only have two sons, which is too few. If my husband wants to continue his descendants, he must have enough people around him."
Many women.”
"Let's talk about it later! Get some sleep first."
The two of them talked and fell asleep again, but they didn't sleep for long when a melodious bell sounded in the distance. This was the bell of Baiyun Temple ringing, indicating that it was Mao hour.
Every family has its own rules. The rule in Li Ye's house is to go to bed at midnight and get up at midnight. Of course, some special jobs need to get up early, such as cooks, who need to get up an hour earlier than others to prepare breakfast.
Li Ye and Yang Yuhuan will also get up at this time, and Ying'er and Chun'er have already run in to serve their master and get up.
At this time, a cry of surprise came from outside, and Li Ye ordered: "Go and see, what happened outside?"
Chun'er hurriedly ran out and came back a moment later shouting: "Your Highness, it's snowing outside!"
Li Ye smiled slightly at Yang Yuhuan and said, "Yesterday I said it would snow today, and it did!"
Several maids came in to serve, brought hot water, combed the master's hair and washed his face. Yang Yuhuan put on a little makeup and went to have breakfast with her husband.
Then Li Ye went to the study to make some preparations before going out, while the women went back to the house to do deep makeup.
But today Li Ye went to Qing Yu's room first. Qing Yu gave birth to a son three months ago. He was Li Ye's second son and was named Li Tan. The next generation of Li Ye was born with the character "Mu", so the eldest son is special.
, you don’t need to have wooden characters, other children need to bring wooden characters.
Now Li Ye has five children, the first three of whom are daughters. The eldest daughter, Xingsha, is four years old and has been named the Princess of Jincheng.
The second daughter Yaoguang, who was in her early two years old, was given the title of Princess Zhangye, and the third daughter Qiuhe, who was one and a half years old, was given the title of Princess Dunhuang.
The eldest son, Li Jin, was just over a year old, and the second son, Li Tan, was less than half a year old. Both sons were granted the title of county prince, one was the prince of Longxi and the other was the prince of Wuwei.
Although Qiu He is an adopted daughter here, Li Ye regards her as his own and loves her very much. She is treated exactly the same as his two sisters.
After staying with the children for a while, Li Ye came to the study, and the maid brought him a cup of hot tea and an express letter.
The document was delivered last night, and it did not disturb Li Ye's rest. It was also a relatively urgent document, so Li Ye saw it early in the morning.
Generally, only if there is an urgent military situation, the servants will wake Li Ye up at night.
Li Ye looked at the express letter. It was an express letter from Du Guming in Chang'an. The content inside made him stand up immediately. Unfortunately, Ji Guangchen, the military governor of Xiangyang, died suddenly. He died suddenly after being drunk. There was no discovery of poisoning or being killed for the time being.
Signs of assassination.
Sudden death is usually caused by heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage, which was very common in the Tang Dynasty.
But Ji Guangchen is different. If Ji Guangchen dies, he will be in trouble, and he will probably lose control of Jing Xiang.
However, at this time and that time, if he lost Jing Xiang two years ago, it would indeed be a big deal, but now that he has settled down in Helong, Jing Xiang doesn't mean much to him anymore.
What Li Ye cares about is not Jingxiang, but the 30,000 Jingxiang army. He must control Jingxiang's 30,000 army. Thinking of this, Li Ye packed up and got up to go to Jiedu Mansion.
The sky was dark, the north wind was carrying snowflakes flying in the sky, and the earth was already gray.
When they arrived at Jiedu Mansion, the brazier had already been raised and the charcoal was burning with crackling sounds. At this time, Ji Shouchun's eyes were red, he stepped forward and choked with sobs: "Your Highness, I am a humble father."
Li Ye patted his arm and said: "I just heard that. Now is not the time to feel sad. I will send a team of cavalry to take you back to Xiangyang immediately. It is best to leave today, otherwise the snow will be too heavy and there will be no way."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I have to go home and clean up my duties first!"
"Are you taking your family with you?"
Ji Shouchun shook his head, "The child is too young and can't bear the journey. I will go back alone first, and my family will go to Xiangyang next year."
Ji Shouchun's son was only three months old, so he couldn't travel with him in such a cold winter.
"All right!"
Li Ye comforted him and said: "You go home first, someone will come to you later."
Li Ye approved another thousand taels of silver as Ji Guangchen's pension, and Ji Shouchun thanked him again and again.
After sitting down, Li Ye ordered someone to find Lei Wanchun.
Not long after, Lei Wanchun hurried over, bowed and said: "See you, Your Highness!"
Li Ye said slowly: "I just received important news that Ji Guangchen died suddenly."
"Ah! That Jingxiang"
Li Ye shook his head, "Actually, I don't care much about Jingxiang. What I care about is the 30,000 Jingxiang army. I don't want this army to be obtained by the court, so I want you to immediately lead 3,000 cavalry to Xiangyang and take over the Jingxiang army.
As for whether the army will stay in the end, it depends on the outcome of my negotiations with the imperial court."
"I understand the humble position!"
Li Ye said again: "You go with Ji Shouchun. He is leaving today. Go and contact him."
"I'll contact him right now."
Lei Wanchun bowed and left.
Li Ye pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Go and invite Li Changshi and Liu Sima!"
