This is King Huai! When Chu Yunjing understood the man's identity, she was so shocked that she broke into a cold sweat. Her eyes widened in an instant and she pressed against the wall at the corner, holding her breath for fear that King Huai would notice and take her too.
Life.
"You...you dare!"
Du Shi almost collapsed and trembled out a few words for a long time.
"Humph!" King Huai groaned and walked away.
Chu Yunjing and the other three rushed into the small door opposite. King Huai wanted to go to Fengyi Palace. This road was necessary. They held their breath and hid behind the door. After King Huai entered Fengyi Palace, the three of them came out, and Concubine Du Shu also came out.
He has long since disappeared.
Silent all the way, she felt more and more that this King Huai was not a simple person. Yun Jianlai had a close relationship with him, and he actually dared to threaten Concubine Shu in broad daylight in the palace! It was rumored that King Huai was powerful and the first choice for succession to the throne. She thought that this
It must not be groundless.
Si Yu was nervous all the way. She was not frightened by King Huai, but she was thinking about meeting the ugly man last night when she returned home. Although his face was cold and rude, he still looked decent, and she couldn't help but feel a little...
very excited.
It was already noon when she arrived at the palace, and she returned to the main room with a sullen face and deep thoughts.
I was in a hurry yesterday, and today I should meet the servants of the palace. I sent Aunt An to tell Butler Meng to call the people in charge of the palace to the main room.
Su Hua and Fu Feng were already waiting at the door of the main house. When they saw the princess, they saluted in unison. Chu Yunjing responded and asked them to follow him into the house. Su Hua calmly glanced at Si Yu who was biting her lip and lowering her head.
.
The guards in Prince Qi's Mansion all obeyed the orders of these two men. They were also Prince Qi's confidants and were now sent to protect her. She was very grateful and naturally she had to pay attention to them.
After a while, several housekeepers and women came into the room to say hello. She straightened her clothes, sat down, looked around a few times, and said in a stern tone, "From now on, I will be the mistress of Prince Qi's Mansion. Most of you will follow me from the palace."
Yes, you know the rules much better than I do. If you follow the rules, I can rest assured. If you do anything against the Lord, I will not forgive you."
She established rules for the servants of the palace and carried the majesty of her princess. She was not favored by outsiders. She must manage her own servants well.
"I will never disobey the princess."
She nodded with satisfaction: "You all worked hard yesterday. I have prepared a reward for you. You can distribute it to all the servants in the house for me. There are only a few people in our house. Please keep an eye on it and don't let anything go unnoticed.
Come in if you are relevant."
After listening to everyone's report on the daily routine and accounts of the palace, and assigning some new tasks, everyone was sent off. Fu Feng, who had been standing aside for a long time, also asked to leave.
Seeing that Su Hua seemed to have something to say, he remained silent for a long time without speaking. Aunt An and Si Yu looked at each other and then consciously asked to leave.
Su Hua calmly raised her eyes again and stared in the direction Si Yu left. This action was caught by Chu Yunjing's eyes. She always felt that this look was not simple.
Without thinking much, she picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. She felt her mouth was dry after not drinking any water for a while.
"General, tell me what you have to say!"
What Su Hua wanted to say must be what King Qi wanted to bring to her, and she was somewhat looking forward to it.
Suhua walked to the center and faced the throne, bowed his hands and held a wooden box in his hand: "The prince has sent the general to bring something to the princess."
After speaking, he held up the long wooden box in his hands. His hands were really busy. He held the sword in one hand and the wooden box in the other, as if he was holding two small objects.
Chu Yunjing took the brown wooden box and opened it. There lay a translucent green jade pendant, which is rare in the world. She touched the Buddha's hand pattern on it with two fingers.
Could it be that the Buddha is a relic of the late queen?
Is this a token of love? She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, with a trace of sadness. She married into a high-ranking family, and her husband just gave her away with a jade pendant?
"My lord, do you have anything to say?"
"No."
Su Hua's face was expressionless and his weapon was cold. He had always said that Qin Mian's orders were from heaven. They came back with just one order. After returning to the palace, they found out that their prince was going to get married. He also had doubts in his heart, but
Still in accordance with the order, his task was mainly to protect the princess, and Fu Feng's task was to keep an eye on the movements in the court. The two had a clear division of labor.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I asked Butler Meng to distribute the rewards to the soldiers inside and outside the palace. I will bother you more in the future." She has always exchanged heart for heart. If it were other people, how could the master tell his servants about hard work?
.
After the people left, she took out the jade pendant, held it in her hand and fumbled with it, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.
The first step of this relationship is to give them a marriage, the second step is to give them a jade pendant, and on the second day after they get married, they send tokens thousands of miles apart, which is really a strange thing in the world.
""""""
At this moment, the war in the northern border has been going on for three months. Although it has entered warm spring, the northern border is still frozen for hundreds of miles. The main battlefield is on the Beihe River that straddles the two countries. The water has already been frozen for tens of feet, whether it is artillery or artillery.
It is difficult to shake the deep ice even if it is roasted.
There are always the roars of charging soldiers on the Beihe River, wolf smoke rises, and corpses litter the fields. The surface of the river, which was originally pure white, has long been stained with black blood and gunpowder smoke. To save time, the soldiers who died in battle were cremated directly on the spot.
Record the name and pass the news of death to the surviving relatives.
King Qi's elite cavalry intimidated the Beiyue barbarians, so Beiyue also trained a group of iron cavalry to fight against them.
It is not easy to ride a horse on the ice. King Qi came up with a clever idea, which is to grow iron thorns under the iron hooves of the horse's feet and print small thorns on the iron sheet, so that the horse can ride firmly on the ice.
Grasp it tightly so that the horse's hooves don't slip.
Obviously, the skills of the Beiyue people were not up to par, and they were defeated by our army's elite cavalry.
This three-month-long war came to an end with the victory of our elite cavalry.
Beiyue is cold, and most of them do not produce food, so they only live on some game skins and meats. If things go on like this, there will be less and less game, and they have to come to the Central Plains, which is rich in supplies, to snatch it.
In the past, an agreement was signed, and Dafeng was willing to provide Beiyue with food at the market price. However, after Beiyue's new ruler came to the throne, he broke the contract and invaded, so Dafeng had no choice but to respond. The Zhenbei camp was established for seven years.
In the camp, several generals were discussing the battle situation, and the news of success came.
"Report!!! Great victory! The elite cavalry led by General Wen broke through the Beiyue cavalry formation and beheaded the barbarian general!"
The herald was very excited.
In an instant, the camp was filled with cheers and cheers.
"Okay! Damn it, the barbarians want to learn how to use iron cavalry like us, but why don't we beat the shit out of them? Hahahahahaha!"
"Thanks to the prince's ingenious move, their cavalry has only scratched the surface."
"Yes! Thanks to the prince as our general, we have been able to win many battles over the years! Hahahahahaha!"
There were three generals occupying the front and back of the tent. These generals all had the appearance of tall and thick warriors with murderous look in their brows and eyes, and their actions were informal. Qin Mian, who looked upright, seemed a little out of tune with them.
"When General Wen comes back, let's take care of him. Come here! Go and prepare the food and drinks."
When several people heard about the victory, they swept away the gloom on their faces and waved the layout on the sand table. The victory meant that the previous deployment of troops was completely meaningless.
Everyone returned to their seats with joyful expressions on their faces. Even Qin Mian, who usually didn't smile much, had a bright face at this time, and the soldiers outside cheered.
The general on the right stared at Qin Mian with bright black eyes: "My lord, I heard that you got married recently, is it true?"
"Hey! Lao Li, this is absolutely true. I have also heard that the marriage was granted by the Holy One himself."
"This is not a rare thing. Only you two know about it, right?" The general on the left raised his eyebrows.
"We were in the war before, who has time to care about this matter, but unfortunately our prince, he has a newly married wife, and he can't go back to be happy. These evil barbarians, sooner or later I will beat them back into his mother's belly."
The general on the left said with a stern look: "You can't go back to Beijing, but you didn't say you couldn't find someone to serve you here, right? Besides, Su Hua and Fu Feng have both returned to Beijing, so they should have someone to serve them.
"
He cast a meaningful look at several people.
"Hey! That's right. The prince has become too widowed these years. He should find someone considerate to take care of him. Hahahahaha, you old boy, you have a way."
Qin Mian frowned as he listened to them referring to him one by one. It was true that he had been widowed for many years, but he had never been greedy for beauty. Over the years, there were also official prostitutes crawling into his bed, but they were just one-night acquaintances.
He had never paid much attention to these official prostitutes. With the war going on, he couldn't spare the time to think about it. But if he refused in public at this time, he would probably be speculated. A man can't say that he is not good enough!
He was silent, and the three of them took him as their acquiescence. After returning, they began to look for beauties, and even went to the city to look for them in person. They knew that he was always picky and generally could not catch their eyes. The three of them looked around and were not satisfied, so Li
The general went directly to the city to find the superior general. Lu Zhong was very interested when he heard about it, and the two immediately went to the Northern Territory Official Education Department. The official education department was a place that provided dancing, music, and high-level prostitutes for the generals.
The two of them found all the girls who were still teaching and had never shown their faces at the banquet. Most of these girls were fifteen or sixteen years old and had not yet graduated to entertain guests. This was what they were looking for.
After several days of playing chess, calligraphy and painting, burning incense and making tea, I finally found a good one. Lu Zhong slapped the table: "That's her!"
General Li followed happily, completely ignoring the table that was smashed by a slap.
Lu Zhong pointed at the shivering Aunt Priest: "Take care of this girl and go back to the main tent with General Li today."
The priest replied tremblingly: "Yes!"
Lu Zhong pulled General Li and told him: "Hurry up and go back and tell the young prince to have a baby as soon as possible. My fourth girl is still waiting to marry his son!"
This is the agreement between Lu Zhong and Qin Mian. Lu Zhong got a fourth daughter three years ago. They drank too much and made an agreement that night. If Qin Mian has an eldest son, he will marry his precious daughter to Qin Mian's eldest son.
, this matter has not been mentioned since Qin Mian has not been married for many years, and now Lu Zhong has brought it up, confirming the marriage.
