It’s March of the new year, and the cold winter is over.
Although spring begins later in the Western Regions, the spring has warmed the earth, and many people there are already busy farming, and there are more businessmen coming and going.
Qiancheng is becoming more and more prosperous.
From last year to now, with Taqiancheng as the center, the entire Western Region has regained its vitality. The most important thing is that Donglou Yi, Yan Chong and others were killed. All the major nobles in the Western Region were withered, and they finally saw the iron-blooded tactics of the Ming Dynasty.
The Chaori King of Tianzhu came and exploited the local area unconditionally, and squeezed the nobles of the Western Regions unconditionally. No one dared to dare.
Everyone knows that if you jump out and resist, you will die.
The Ming Dynasty came. Because the Ming Dynasty was a state of etiquette, many people had a little luck and wanted to seek benefits. Unexpectedly, after being educated by Xun Yu with an iron fist, these nobles from the Western Regions quickly did enough ideological construction and felt that No matter what, Ming Dynasty is still better than Tianzhu.
It's always good.
Even some local nobles took the initiative to cooperate, donated land, freed slaves, and cooperated with Ming Dynasty's policies.
All the local land has been arranged.
In addition, from the end of last year to the beginning of January, a steady stream of scholars from the Ming Dynasty came to the Western Regions to work.
On the one hand, some are scholars trained by the imperial court. On the other hand, there are many children of big families who see the hope of opening up new territories and gaining greater fame.
Therefore, countless people came out on their own initiative.
The emperor is outside, so there is no shame in following him.
Xun Yu received a large number of domestic scholars and was very happy. He arranged for all the scholars to serve in local places. As long as they were the first scholars to come, Xun Yu would arrange them to serve as county magistrates after passing a simple assessment.
At least, they are all county magistrates.
The treatment of becoming an official upon arrival also attracted many scholars to flock to him.
Although it is a borderland, although it is the Western Region, after all, he is serving as a county magistrate.
The biggest reason here is the influence of Emperor Lu Xuan.
If Lu Xuan had been in Nanjing, the imperial capital, all day long, then the scholars would have gone to Nanjing. However, it was only when Lu Xuan came in person that the scholars were willing to come. Only then did Xun Yu's arrangement become possible.
The Western Regions were rapidly changing under the governance of the Central Plains scholars.
Everything is full of vitality.
On this day, the military camp in the city, Ayina’s tent.
She has a separate tent.
After all, you can't stay in Lu Xuan's camp all day long. Lu Xuan also has to deal with affairs. Lu Xuan's plan was to arrange a house in the city for Ayina to live in, but Ayina was unwilling.
Aina's father, Pu Dan, came to Qiancheng.
Compared with people like Donglou Yi and Yan Chong, Pu Dan has always been very low-key and has never been high-profile. His daughter is already a member of the emperor, so Pu Dan is not in a hurry. He cannot be liquidated.
Aina is sitting in the tent.
Today, she is also learning embroidery from the Central Plains, but she is not as meticulous as usual. Instead, she always feels uncomfortable in her heart.
Suddenly, Ayina retched.
Her situation alarmed the maid serving beside her, and she quickly said: "Princess, how are you?"
It took Aina a while to calm down. She stood up and said, "Let's go back to see our father first."
The maid took Ayina out of the camp and took a carriage home after leaving the camp. As soon as he returned home, Pu Dan hurriedly came to greet him. Seeing that Ayina's face was a little pale, he quickly asked: "Ayina, what are you doing? How's it going?"
Ayina said: "Father, I feel a little unwell. Please ask a doctor to diagnose me."
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
Pudan was very anxious.
He looked up and down, saw that Ayina looked bad, and said, "Is it because of a conflict with His Majesty the Emperor that she is not feeling well?"
Ayina shook her head and said: "Father, Your Majesty and I are very good. I have some vomiting, and my menstrual period has not come this month. Father, you mentioned the symptoms of pregnancy before, and I don't know if I am pregnant."
"
Pu Dan's eyes suddenly narrowed into crescent moons with a smile, and he said happily: "Quickly, help Ayina to rest."
He ran as fast as he could to call a doctor.
After a while, Pudan came with a doctor and carefully diagnosed Ayina. After a while, the doctor said: "Congratulations, you are indeed pregnant."
"Okay, great."
Pu Dan was overjoyed.
Ever since her daughter married Lu Xuan and became the woman beside Lu Xuan, Pu Dan has been thinking about this day.
Only when you have heirs can you have bonds and status.
This is Pu Dan’s understanding.
Pudan gave the doctor a bag of reward money, carefully helped Ayina sit down, and said: "My Ayina, you are now pregnant with the emperor's heir, and that is a real golden body. In the words of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.
, is a body worth a thousand pieces of gold.”
Ayina smiled and said: "Father, you are serious, it is not so important."
"No, it's very important."
Pu Dan's eyes were bright and he said excitedly: "Your son has become the son of His Majesty the Emperor, and that is the prince of the Ming Dynasty."
Ayina said coquettishly: "What if it's a daughter?"
Pu Dan said: "I have already found someone to calculate it, and you will definitely give birth to a son."
A look of helplessness appeared on Ayina's face.
My father is really...
However, he also wanted to have a son, because according to Daming, this was the foundation for a stable life.
Ayina stood up and said: "Father, since the diagnosis has been confirmed, I will go back right now."
"No, there's no rush."
Pu Dan quickly stopped Ayina.
Ayina asked: "What does father mean?"
Pu Dan said: "Ayina, although you are a woman, you have become His Majesty the Emperor's concubine and you have been involved in the whirlpool of fighting. You must have helpers by your side in order to truly gain a foothold."
"If we don't reach this point, even if we give birth to a son in the future, there will be many problems."
"Now, you are pregnant."
"For the time being, you are unable to serve His Majesty the Emperor, so you need someone else to serve you. If you don't make arrangements, someone else will take advantage of it. So now, we have to make plans for His Majesty the Emperor and arrange for a woman to serve him."
Pu Dan looked at the dumbfounded and surprised Ayina and said, "When you grow up, you should consider these things. You must also understand that men like the new and dislike the old, and so does your father. Therefore, your father understands His Majesty the Emperor.
.You are pregnant, and the emperor still likes you. However, you cannot serve the emperor after all. Everything must be considered in the most realistic situation."
Ayina took a deep breath and agreed: "Father is right, what are your plans?"
Pu Dan's eyes were bright and he said: "I have a very good relationship with Chanshu, the leader of Dayuan Kingdom. This Chanshu's ancestor Chanfeng was the king during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has a deep heritage."
"Chan Yue'er, Chan Shu's daughter, has already reached the marriageable age. She is already in her early twenties and is very beautiful."
"Her personality is also quite docile."
"Such a woman, when she comes to the emperor's side, can help each other with you."
"do you understand?"
Pu Dan said: "You cannot enjoy the emperor's favor exclusively, let alone last forever. As an emperor's woman, she must be wiser and clear about her own position, and not be unrealistic and naive.
Fantasy, understand?”
"I see!"
Aina nodded.
Pu Dan waved his hand and said: "You go to the backyard to rest first, and when I meet Chanshu, we can talk about letting her daughter serve the emperor."
Ayina nodded in agreement and went to the backyard.
Pudan arranged for someone to notify Chanshu, and not long after, Chanshu came in a hurry with his daughter.
Pu Dan's eyes fell on Chan Yue'er.
Chan Yue'er is twenty-one or twelve years old, tall, with black hair tied up and draped over her shoulders, like black waves. Her eyebrows are picturesque, and her bright eyes are very seductive, and they are typical foxy eyes.
, her pretty face is breakable, and her skin is very white.
The key is that Chan Yue'er has a very good figure.
This is a stunning woman.
When Pu Dan was talking to Chanshu, he had already heard about Chan Yue'er and said that Chan Yue'er was a beauty. At that time, Pu Dan didn't think so. He thought his daughter was the most beautiful.
Now it seems that Chan Yue'er is no less generous.
They are all stunning women.
Pu Dan nodded, looked at Chanshu, and said: "Chanshu, the reason for inviting you here has been informed by people before. I won't hide it from you, it's because my daughter Ayina is pregnant.
Now I plan to recommend a woman to continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor, are you willing?"
"willing!"
Chanshu and Chanyueer answered without thinking.
Both father and daughter agreed.
Everyone has seen the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and they know that following the Ming Dynasty will be the mainstream in the future, so Cicada can only ask for it.
Chan Yue'er is even more willing.
Emperor Ming is the true emperor, the king of kings, and the one who rules the world.
Only a woman who becomes the Ming Emperor will have a future.
Pu Dan smiled and said: "Since you and your daughter are both willing, Chan Yue'er and Ayina will meet and you can have a chat. Then, Chan Yue'er and Ayina will go to the military camp together and let Ayina introduce them."
Chanshu was so happy that he cupped his hands and said, "Master Pudan, it's all thanks to you this time."
Pu Dan quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Chanshu is polite. To be honest, this is also for my daughter. After all, a familiar person coming to the emperor's side will also be helpful to her. In addition, whether this matter can be accomplished depends on the emperor."
attitude. If the emperor disagrees, there is nothing he can do."
Chanshu smiled and said: "Master Pudan is right, no matter what, I have to thank you."
Chan Yue'er said quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Pudan."
Pu Dan shook his head and asked someone to lead Chan Yue'er to the backyard so that Chan Yue'er could communicate with Ayina.
Pudan and Chanshu were talking about things in the Western Regions.
Near noon, Ayina left the house with Chan Yue'er and went straight back to the military camp. Ayina asked Chan Yue'er to stay in her tent, and he went straight to Lu Xuan's tent and saluted: "Your Majesty.
"
Lu Xuan waved and said: "Come, sit down and talk. Earlier, I arranged for someone to look for you, and I heard that you went home."
Ayina walked to Lu Xuan and sat down. She nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I did go back home, mainly because I wanted to confirm one thing. Now that it has been confirmed, I came here to tell your Majesty the good news.
"
Lu Xuan looked at Ayina in front of him and said with a smile: "What happy event?"
Ayina said: "I am pregnant."
Lu Xuan smiled in his eyes and asked, "Really?"
Ayina said with certainty: "I went home to find my father. I just asked him to arrange a doctor's diagnosis. It is confirmed that I am pregnant."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Lu Xuan said good things one after another and said: "Since you are pregnant, you must take good care of the baby during this period. Pregnancy is different from usual, and you must be more careful in your diet and life. In this regard, let your father arrange more people
take care of."
Ayina felt Lu Xuan's joyful mood and was very happy in her heart.
The emperor also liked children.
So, getting pregnant is the right thing to do.
Ayina changed the topic and said with a reluctant look: "But after I become pregnant, I can no longer serve Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, it won't affect you."
Ayina leaned next to Lu Xuan and said: "Your Majesty, how can this be done? I can't serve you, so I can only look for your majesty and find a woman who is also extremely beautiful to serve your majesty."
Lu Xuan said: "It's not necessary, I'm not that kind of person. It's good that you stay with me."
Ayina was very moved after hearing Lu Xuan's words, and even said: "Your Majesty, how about you just meet me?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.
Ayina immediately arranged for the maid next to her to notify her, and after a while, Chan Yue'er came in. She was tall and tall, as good as Ayina's, and Chan Yue'er was more mature and charming, making her even more enchanting.
This is Zen Yue'er's style.
After Lu Xuan saw it, he noticed the belt worn by Chan Yue'er, which outlined her perfect figure.
This is a stunner.
Especially when staring at people, the charming eyes seem to be full of eyes, and they are as attractive as lightning.
Lu Xuan glanced at it and then looked away.
His face was still calm and calm.
Ayina asked: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Although you have some characteristics, compared to you, Ayina, you are still a little inferior."
After listening to Lu Xuan's words, Ayina had a smile on her face and said: "Since Your Majesty thinks it is appropriate, then let her stay."
Lu Xuan said: "Ayina, I leave it to you. If you think it's suitable, just keep her. If not, just send her back."
Ayina narrowed her eyes and beckoned: "Sister Yue'er, come and see His Majesty. From today on, you will stay by His Majesty's side and take care of His Majesty's daily life."
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Chan Yue'er felt happy and quickly saluted.
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "Since you stay, do your best and learn from Ayina in everything. She also knows my nature, you know better."
"As you command!"
Chan Yue'er quickly answered again.
She has no hostility toward Ayina, but is grateful because Ayina and she are both from the Western Regions.
The two of them should support each other.
Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "Ayina, you take her down, I have to deal with government affairs."
Ayina stood up, saluted Lu Xuan, and left with Chan Yue'er.
Lu Xuan thought about Ayina's arrangement, shook his head and chuckled, not caring about Ayina's thoughts, nor thinking about Ayina's thoughts on sending Chan Yue'er.
To him, these are small details.
The most important thing is the Western Expedition.
Now that spring has begun in March, we have to prepare for the follow-up campaign.
After Lu Xuan read the information, he ordered: "Come, inform Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and other civil and military generals to discuss the matter."
The soldier received the order and turned around to inform.
Not long after, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Lu Yu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun and other cultural relic generals all came to Lu Xuan's camp.
Everyone looked excited.
Everyone knows that when spring comes and the weather warms up, war is coming.
