It finally snowed for the first time in the twelfth lunar month. The flurries of snow slowly fell from the sky, and the world suddenly became dreamy. The houses and treetops were dotted with mottled white flowers, just like the season when flowers are falling.
A group of beauties returned from admiring the snow in the corridor. They saw gorgeous dresses, white fur on their collars, crisp jingle bells and delicate laughter. This place is truly like a fairyland on earth.
The beautiful woman at the head is the imperial concubine Yao Ji, followed by Zhou Niang, Gu Chunhan and others, and Bai Fengjiao is also in the crowd. She is wearing a high-waisted skirt underneath, and a mink coat on the outside, with fur wrapped around her neck.
It made her face look even redder and whiter. At first glance, no one could tell that she was a Miao person. Her appearance and dress were no different from those of a Han person, but she still had some jerky accents when she spoke, and she was imitated.
It's very strange. Sometimes I learn a Mandarin accent, but from time to time some Huguang local dialect comes out.
When Bai Fengjiao was in Miaojiang, she was like a fish in water among the two major families of the Bai family and the Long family. She had only been here for a few months, and she had already won the favor of Yao Ji... Not long after she entered the Chu Palace, she slowly
I discovered that the person who should have a good relationship here is Yao Ji, not the princess, Tuesday Niang.
Life was still going well. Although the customs were different when I first arrived, I got used to it very quickly. I lived in a picturesque palace in the mainland and had good food and clothing. Anyone can adapt to this kind of pampered life from a place with relatively poor conditions.
Quick. If she were suddenly allowed to return to Miao territory now, she might not be used to the old life after only experiencing life in the mainland for a short period of time.
Among the ladies, she plays with everyone to have fun, compares their appearance and dress, and competes with each other. This kind of life is still very relaxed and comfortable.
The only regret is that in Miao territory, she was always courted by a group of men, but here she has to compete with a group of women. And there is no chance to compete for favor. She has been canonized as the second concubine of the Prince of Hunan for many days, and even Zhang Ning's
She had barely met him a few times, and had no chance to sleep with him. He was either out of town or busy all day long. But she had already figured out a way. To attract the attention of King Xiang, it was best to spend more time with Yao Ji. Han people are very particular about this.
Filial piety means that as long as Zhang Ning is in Wuchang, he cannot go without visiting his mother for a long time.
I was really disappointed. I originally thought that Zhang Ning was a good man, and it was rare to find a candidate that she really valued. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Women were just a part of him, and this part had to be shared with many people... maybe
This in itself is a marriage of power and interests. We should accept the reality and make due contributions to the family as a woman of the Bai family.
As long as the Xiangwang Group survives, and as long as Bai Fengjiao still has a name and a place in the palace, the Miao King's status will be guaranteed. Peepers will not only have to face the suppression of the Miao King, but also consider the powerful military threats in the mainland; last year "
General Li Wenda taught an impressive lesson to the Miao rebel forces.
...A group of women entered Yao Ji's hall, and the maid brought a stove over to let them warm their hands, and also served sweet wine. At this moment, it was reported that King Xiang was coming to see him. Bai Fengjiao felt happy after hearing this, and began to think about her own thoughts.
That's absolutely right. You can see Zhang Ning here, and there is no trace of deliberately inviting favors.
Bai Fengjiao thought to herself that she was completely ready to dedicate her body to Zhang Ning. Now that she has accepted the title of concubine, what's the point of remaining innocent?
I saw a tall figure who was completely different from a woman appeared at the door, and finally saw a man. Zhang Ning was wearing a gray military uniform, trousers and soap boots, with a short sword hanging on his waist. It looked like
He has a tall and straight figure, but his clothes seem a bit thin, and others feel cold for him.
He was stunned at the door. He probably didn't expect that there were so many people here today. Then he walked into the house, bowed and said, "I have seen my mother-in-law."
Yao Ji just smiled and nodded. He stood up straight and patted the snowflakes on his shoulders casually. When he looked back, he saw a maid kneeling on the ground, wiping his muddy footprints with a cloth.
"So everyone is here." Zhang Ning looked back at the women and said hello kindly. Mother Zhou and others bowed down in a polite manner, and the room suddenly looked like a house of scholars and etiquette.
But everyone ignored him and didn't talk to him. Only Yao Ji talked to him calmly. It was a strange atmosphere. If it was a group of men surrounding a woman, the woman must be the center; but a group of women and a man, but
On the contrary, at least on the surface, he will be excluded, and the women will suddenly become cordial and affectionate with each other.
Yao Ji could only ask about his official business. Zhang Ning came here and didn’t want to talk about it. At this time, he had no choice but to say: "The strategy of attacking Nanjing cannot be kept secret. We saw it at Daxing Shipyard in Jiujiang, ten miles away. We will wait for the cannon to be built."
By that time, hundreds of artillery pieces will be manufactured, and I’m afraid that the roar of the daily test run will be non-stop day and night, and I won’t be able to hide it from them even if I want to.”
"The puppet government will definitely deploy heavy troops in the east, and this battle will last for who knows how long. You have left all the concubines in the cold." Yao Ji said with a smile.
Her behavior was so elegant and dignified, even if she was joking, she was so decent, and her generosity in front of others gave people a sense of magnanimity. But Zhang Ning could not help but think of the painful and lustful expression on her face when she was disheveled. It was the same
A Yao Ji can now talk freely without revealing any traces. Only she can be so perfect and truthful.
While Zhang Ning was thinking wildly, he said with the same upright performance: "Mother and concubine, just feel at ease. This time it will not be as embarrassing as the battle of Jiujiang, because I set the rules."
"Oh?" Yao Ji looked at him with interest.
Zhang Ning said: "The battlefield is like a game of chess. There are always rules to determine the winner. But it is different from a game of chess. Who decides the rules on the battlefield cannot be agreed in advance. Whoever controls the formulation of the rules has the initiative.
Quan. For example, if the opponent is good at Go and I want to play chess, then it will be useless no matter how good he is at Go... In the Battle of Nanjing, the key to victory or defeat lies in controlling the river, which is a water battle. The puppet dynasty can only stick to the rules and abide by the rules.
They want to engage me in close combat under the old rules, and they have no ability to create new tactics; but I can use artillery battles and replace the old rules with new rules. The puppet Korea wants to deal with us under the new rules, and it falls behind from the beginning;
If they don't follow our rules, they will be restricted everywhere, and they will find that their original experience on the battlefield is useless, so we will not act according to the original way."
Zhang Ning's confidence made Yao Ji very happy. His ambition gave her vitality, bigger dreams, wider vision, and made her feel comfortable. This was an experience that Emperor Jianwen could not give her.
Although Bai Fengjiao and others could not fully understand Zhang Ning's words, they could feel the atmosphere within them. The breath of a man was completely different from the leisurely and beautiful feeling of enjoying snow and wine, but a ball of fire that could melt the snow.
Bai Fengjiao thought that Zhang Ning's idea was just an inheritance of the wisdom of Han culture itself. She was already very interested in inland culture and became even more interested in it. She wanted to know something deeper and further through Zhang Ning. There is a wider world here.
Different from the isolation at the border... At this moment, she gradually understood herself. Marriage was not only for the benefit of the family, but also to realize her pursuit.
In a daze, she seemed to have returned to the high mountains where she was born. When she was a child, she saw a mountain when she went out and wanted to know what was on the other side of the mountain. So she finally had the opportunity to climb to the top of the mountain, only to find another mountain in front of her.
.This kind of depression was very nihilistic, but lingering. Until she learned about the outside world from people's mouths, and successively obtained countless books such as "Three Character Classic", "Historical Records", "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" from the hands of businessmen. She
I don’t know if she is the only one who has such a unique idea. Maybe what most people care about most is food, clothing, and warmth, and they don’t have time to think about these things. Anyway, she can’t like people like Long Er, and then because she saw it in Zazai
In some stories, white snakes, ghost foxes and other women all meet scholars, so the hope in their hearts is to meet a scholar...
Before she knew it, the fire was getting a little hot, so Bai Fengjiao took off her mink coat, revealing a high-waisted skirt underneath, with a belt tied under her chest. At this moment, she noticed Zhang Ning looking over,
She met his eyes and didn't avoid it. Women in Miao Jiang didn't have so many rules. They could hook up with the man they liked at a party. Bai Fengjiao learned a lot of etiquette here.
But it was difficult to change her mentality. She felt that Zhang Ning liked her and there was nothing wrong with making eye contact.
But such a small moment was already seen by Zhou Niang. Zhou Niang suddenly wondered, as far as she knew, Bai Fengjiao had not slept with her yet, so why was she flirting with her husband in public? She discovered this last time at Zhang Ning's job
Rouge was not something that a maid could use at all. She just didn't want to bore Zhang Ning by asking for details... But the doubts in her heart still existed. Why did Zhang Ning lie? Who was that woman? Could it be Bai Fengjiao? This shameless bitch,
As expected, he came from an uneducated barbarian land and used such shameless means to please his husband!
Zhou Zhou's mother endured it for a while, and finally said: "If the prince marries someone else, he can come and go in an open and honest manner, so why do it secretly?"
Yao Ji smiled and said nothing.
Gu Chunhan said with a smile: "Madam, you have got something that everyone is envious of. Why don't you allow others to secretly share some of the rain and dew?"
After hearing this, Tuesday's mother was unhappy, thinking she was just a prostitute! But she didn't dare to insult her face to face. This Gu Chunhan was a master of breaking things, and he had no shame at all. In order to curry favor with Yao Ji, he would do any disgusting words or disgusting things.
, a head-on confrontation with her would involve something disadvantageous.
Sure enough, Yao Ji helped Gu Chunhan, turned to Zhang Ning and said: "The one you love most is the concubine, but you don't have to go every night, don't you have two other ladies? It's business to let me carry the grandson earlier.
.If this continues, how will you explain it to the courtiers? Today I will make the decision. If you go to Mrs. Bai’s place tonight, will you be left a widow if you marry?"
Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine could speak so frankly that even Bai Fengjiao couldn't help but blush a little.
