Although she has the beauty of a country and a city, and she knows this, but since she was a child, no man dared to praise her beauty in front of her. Although the maids in the palace often praised the princess's beauty, She Yue really didn't listen.
Men have complimented her on her beauty.
Qin Xiao said it very directly at this time, which surprised She Yue and made her a little embarrassed.
Although she looked indifferent and just snorted coldly, she was a little happy in her heart and said lightly: "Don't think that you have the power to protect me, so you are unscrupulous. It is better to be cautious in your words and actions in front of me."
"The princess said she allowed me to say the wrong thing, so why did she regret it again?" Qin Xiao sighed: "It seems that in the future it would be better to be mute in front of the princess."
She Yue thought that it would be really troublesome if he really didn't say anything to her, so she immediately said: "I'm not asking you to be mute, I'm just asking you not to talk nonsense."
"Princess, do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Qin Xiao seemed unconvinced: "In this case, let's go out and ask ten people. If one of them says that the princess is not beautiful, I will lose and let the princess do whatever she wants."
She Yue rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Bold, what kind of status do I have, how can I let others judge me?"
Qin Xiao thought that this was a good thing, and said: "It's a small minister who made a mistake."
"Do you really think that no one in the palace is as good as me?" She Yue was serious and calm, but she still couldn't help but ask: "You have only entered the palace a few times and met a few people before you started talking nonsense."
Qin Xiao said: "Anyway, no one I saw when I entered the palace was more beautiful than the princess."
"Oh?" She Yue seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "The eldest grandson's house officer is not as good as this palace?"
Qin Xiao's scalp suddenly went numb.
She Yue said slowly: "The eldest grandson Sheguan is as beautiful as a flower and extremely intelligent. She is known as the most talented woman in the palace. If it hadn't been for her when you entered the palace, I would have punished you severely. She seems to care about you very much.
In your eyes, she is not as good as me?"
Qin Xiaowan did not expect that She Yue would mention his eldest grandson Meier.
Frankly speaking, in terms of figure, Zhangsun Meier is naturally very beautiful. Although her appearance is not as exquisite as She Yue's, she still has a certain beauty. She is definitely one of the most beautiful women in the world.
The eldest grandson Sheguan has a gentle and gentle temperament, unlike She Yue who is arrogant and strong. In terms of temperament, Qin Xiao naturally prefers the eldest grandson Meier.
"Why don't you speak?" She Yue sneered: "Is it because I think she is better than the princess, so it's hard to say?"
Qin Xiao gritted his teeth and said: "Of course not. In fact... In fact, the princess and the eldest grandson Sheguan Chunlan Qiuju each have their own charms, and they are both... the beauty that will captivate the country."
"I don't want any spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums." She Yue said lightly: "And orchids and chrysanthemums are not my favorite. I just want to ask you, in your eyes, is she better or I am better?" At this point
I suddenly felt that I was losing my status by asking like this. Why did I have to let Qin Xiao compete with me?
Qin Xiao had a look of pain on his face, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's okay...!" But he reached out to touch the wound on his right leg.
She Yue couldn't help but walked back and asked: "The wound hurts? Does it matter...?"
"It doesn't matter." Qin Xiao lay down and sighed: "This little pain is nothing."
She Yue was so shrewd that she naturally saw that Qin Xiao deliberately used the wound to win her sympathy, but when she thought that this guy was injured for her own sake, she could only say: "I'll have someone come in and check the wound to see if it needs to be replaced."
medicine."
"No, no, no." Qin Xiao said immediately: "Actually, I just talked to the princess. I felt very happy. All the pain in my body disappeared and I couldn't feel it. Hey, I can't speak. If I make the princess angry, I deserve death. The wound
If it hurts a little, consider it my punishment."
She Yue then sat down by the bed and said angrily: "It's good that you know, people like you should be punished." She still asked with concern: "Apart from the leg injury, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? They said you have lost blood.
He needs to take a good rest."
"It's okay." Qin Xiao looked at the princess's beautiful face and said softly: "Actually, there is still something I dare not say in my heart."
"Is there anything you dare not say?" She Yue sneered: "You have described me as a vicious and domineering person, what else do you dare not say?"
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said: "In fact, people who don't know the princess will think you are too strong, but after getting along with you, I know that you are a good person who values affection and righteousness. If you are not afraid of the anger of the eldest grandson Sheguan, at least now
The princess, in my heart, is truly unparalleled in beauty, no matter in appearance or temperament, no one can match her."
She Yue spat lightly and said: "You are afraid that I will punish you, so you deliberately lied to me." For some reason, hearing him say this made her heart very happy.
Qin Xiao knew that this kind of topic could not continue. If he jumped into the pit again, it would be very troublesome. He quickly changed the topic and asked: "What is the current situation of the rebels outside the city?"
"It's all thanks to you." She Yue smiled faintly: "You captured Kui Mulang, the leader of the rebels outside the city. The bandits have no leader and are now in disarray. The rebels are still worried that the soldiers and horses in the city will take advantage of this opportunity.
After fighting out, the rebels outside the north and south city gates retreated for more than ten miles and did not dare to get too close to Shuning City."
Qin Xiao looked solemn: "But this is only a temporary situation. Now that they know that the princess is in Shuning City, they will definitely mobilize more troops to besiege the city, and the next situation will only become more serious."
She Yue nodded slightly: "Dong Guangxiao also said that the rebels will definitely mobilize the main force, but if you capture Kuimu Lang, the rebels will need time to assemble and mobilize their troops. The siege date will be at least longer than originally planned.
The plan will be delayed by three or four days, which also gives the city time to prepare for war. In addition, someone should have reported the rebellion in Suzhou to Kyoto immediately, and the eldest son Yuanxin must also know the news. As long as he is sure that I am trapped
In Shuning City, you will never be indifferent."
"Now we can only hope that the reinforcements from the imperial court and Hangzhou will arrive as soon as possible." Qin Xiao said solemnly: "Before this, we can only try our best to defend Shuning City and never let the rebels break the city."
"Although there are many rebels, there are not many that can really fight." She Yue said: "It is not easy for a group of rabble to capture Shuning City. I have asked Dong Guangxiao to let out the news that I came to Shuning City.
As a result, there should be more young men in the city to defend the city." After a pause, he frowned and said, "Now I'm just worried that the Queen Mother will not be able to capture Shuning City and will mobilize the three thousand soldiers and horses from the Suzhou Camp.
Those three thousand people are the most elite soldiers and horses in the hands of the Queen Mother Association. They are well-equipped and well-trained. Dong Guangxiao's group of guards can still persist in dealing with the rabble outside the city, but if they really compete with the elite troops of the Suzhou Battalion,
In a battle between soldiers and horses, it is far inferior."
Dong Guangxiao's troops defending the city, apart from some invited people from all walks of life, were mainly young men in the city.
The yamen in Shuning County are about the same. Even if they have received some training, they cannot be compared with regular soldiers like Suzhou Daying, and the young men in the city recruited temporarily are naturally far behind.
Qin Xiao knew very well how big the gap was between a trained soldier and an ordinary young man.
If the three thousand soldiers and horses of Suzhou Camp were really mobilized to attack Shuning City, the situation in Shuning City would be extremely dangerous.
"With the Suzhou rebellion, the Queen Mother Association still needs those three thousand elite soldiers to guard Suzhou City." Qin Xiao thought thoughtfully: "I personally estimate that the Queen Mother Association would not dare to easily transfer those troops away from Suzhou City unless it was absolutely necessary.
"
She Yue nodded and said: "Dong Guangxiao thinks the same way. They certainly don't dare to transfer the Suzhou camp easily for the time being. However, if the rebels still cannot capture Shuning City, they will have no choice but to transfer the Suzhou camp. And Dong Guangxiao has estimated that
, the rebels will definitely attack the city in four days at the latest. If they cannot capture it within five days, the Suzhou camp may be transferred over. Because they must capture Shuning City before the reinforcements arrive in Suzhou, so that they can
Take me hostage in your hands, otherwise once the imperial court mobilizes the Shence Army, the Queen Mother will not be an opponent at all."
"Shen Ce Army?" Qin Xiao asked: "Princess, do you think the imperial court will mobilize the Shen Ce Army to quell the rebellion?"
