"What the Queen said makes sense. It is the cold weather in the twelfth lunar month now. This is the season when we are most vulnerable to cold. Your Majesty must not be careless. It is better for you and the Queen to go back to the cabin to rest. Mu Ying and I are watching outside. Just don't worry.
"
When Shao Yan turned around, he saw Bai Ruxue and Mu Ying walking over with smiles on their faces. He waved his hands generously and said, "I'm not so delicate. I'll catch a cold if I blow a little wind. But you three, the weather
It’s cold, so you have to put on more clothes.”
Cao Xuan said softly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about us. I and my two sisters have brought a lot of clothes here earlier."
Shao Yan fastened his cloak, smiled and nodded to the three of them: "That's good, haha, don't tell me, it's really cold today. As the saying goes, practice in the winter is three to nine, and in the summer to practice in the three. It's true.
"That's right." When he said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "I live in the palace all year round, so the cold spots are easy to deal with. If not, I'd better prepare more fire donkeys to keep out the cold. It's just a pain for those guarding the border.
Brothers, well, it would be great if we could install some air conditioners for them.”
"Air conditioning?" The three women couldn't help but look at each other.
"Oh, what I mean is that the New Year will be here soon, and we have to find a way to let our soldiers have a good New Year." Shao Yan subconsciously changed his words, pointing to the thinly-clothed soldiers on the ship, and said
He sighed: "Look at the clothes they are wearing. Each one is thinner than the other, but they still have no complaints against me. They all know the difficulties of the court. Even if they suffer from hunger and cold, they will fight to protect their home and country. In this way
The warriors are the cutest warriors in the world. I have thought about it. After taking the island, I will reward them with a good reward."
Cao Xuanjiao and Bai Ruxue nodded in agreement. Mu Ying immediately took out the small notebook she carried with her and started writing on it seriously. When she finished recording and was about to put the notebook back into her waist, Shao Yan walked away
He went over and snatched the notebook from her hand, and opened a page randomly without looking at it. He was really surprised when he saw that half of the notebook had the two words "Shao Yan" written repeatedly on it.
Mu Ying's face suddenly turned red. She opened her mouth slightly to explain herself, but she swallowed the words when she reached her lips.
This girl was the emperor's female official. When she went to court, she liked to carry a small notebook and write something in it from time to time. Shao Yan thought at the time that she was recording the daily affairs of the court, so she didn't.
I thought too much, but I didn’t know that was not the case at all. After doing it for a long time, it turned out that this girl has been secretly in love with me. Shao Yan shook his head shamelessly, this person just can’t be too outstanding.
Mu Ying is a very thin-skinned girl. Seeing him lowering his head and smiling to himself, her pretty face turned red again and hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can you return the book to me?"
Shao Yan closed the notebook and pretended to be reserved: "I have only been busy with political affairs recently, but I forget very quickly what I have been busy with every day. It is rare that Ms. Mu can remember it so clearly. Well, very good, I want to use it."
Read this book carefully to see what other matters in the DPRK still need to be solved by me? In this way, your book will stay with me for the time being, and I will naturally return it to you after reading it. You have no joke."
"Your Majesty, you..." Mu Ying knew that he had deliberately withheld the notebook, and she was immediately embarrassed and anxious.
Although Cao Xuanjiao didn't know the details, when she saw Mu Ying's eager expression, she seemed to be able to guess. What secrets must have been recorded in this little book? Otherwise, her sister wouldn't be so nervous?
Bai Ruxue on the side couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Sister, now that the matter has come to an end, you can tell the emperor directly. It's not something shameful. There's nothing you can't say."
Mu Ying was shy and hesitated for a long time without saying a word. Bai Ruxue said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty, in fact, Sister Mu Ying had no other intention in writing your name in the book, but..., but because
She doesn't know much about literacy, and the only thing she recognizes is your name. Therefore, whenever she sees you do something good for the people, no matter how big or small it is, she will write down your name on it, but she is afraid that you and others will
When the minister sees it, he will laugh at her..."
Shao Yan was deeply moved. He carefully opened the book and looked at it. He found that there were at least hundreds of his own names written on it. Although the handwriting was sloppy and not very pretty, he could still see the girl's unforgettable words.
"So that's the case, how big of a deal do I think it is?" After hearing this, Cao Xuanjiao couldn't help covering her lips and chuckled. She slowly walked to Mu Ying and whispered softly: "Illiteracy is definitely not my sister's fault. If my sister doesn't
If you mind, you can accept me as your elder sister. From now on, I will try my best to teach my younger sister more words. I wonder what your sister thinks?"
Mu Ying was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly in thanks. Bai Ruxue was happy for her. However, soon, the joy on her face quickly dimmed, and she murmured to herself, "My sister went to learn Chinese characters with the Queen. From now on,
Then there is no one left to practice sword practice with me.
"Little Second Uncle, Little Second Uncle, we are here." At this moment, a sharp voice came from behind the big boat.
Everyone looked back and saw Liu Fuju's family of three riding on a fisherman's boat, coming from behind. Liu Chan kept waving and shouting in this direction, and Shao Yan immediately asked someone to put down the wooden ladder to pick them up.
After the two sides exchanged polite greetings, Liu Chan walked up to Shao Yan angrily and said gloomily: "Second uncle, Your Majesty, you are partial."
Shao Yan has long been used to his modesty, so naturally he won't argue with him. Then he smiled and said: "Tell me, why is my second uncle so partial?"
"In this expedition, you took your second aunt, Miss Bai and Miss Mu, but you didn't take my sister and me. Isn't this partiality?" Liu Chan pouted, looking like a naughty boy.
Everyone present laughed, and Liu Fuju blamed him for not understanding the rules, but he still kept a straight face and continued disapprovingly: "Second uncle, your Majesty, others say that you cannot bring your family members with you when marching and fighting. You are the emperor, but you are the one who leads the evil ways.
If we break this rule, what do you think we should do?"
"Don't be rude after giving birth." Liu Fuju had a sullen face. This time he was really a little angry. He turned to Shao Yan and said, "Your Majesty, there are no rules and regulations for giving birth to a baby. Please don't get along with him. Rong Xiaomin
Go back and train him properly."
Shao Yan laughed at himself: "Brother's words are serious. I am outspoken. What's wrong with me? Besides, what he just said is right. I really shouldn't bring my family into battle. I am wrong, so I will be punished." As he said, he
He turned to Liu Chan and smiled: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Liu Chan touched his forehead and thought for a while before he said: "You are the emperor and I am the second uncle of the baby. How can I offend you? I just hope that you can let the baby take the lead this time."
Shao Yan chuckled and said without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you, if you encounter an enemy ship later, I will let you stand on the bow."
Liu Chan shook his head hurriedly: "Second uncle, you have misunderstood what Wan'er means. Wan'er wants to lead the army and lead the battle."
Shao Yan hid his smile and said seriously: "War is no longer a child's play. You just need to take good care of your father and your sister, and forget about other things." He said in his heart, this kid only knows how to apply makeup and powder on his hands all day long.
He is even more incapable of restraining the chicken. If he is allowed to take the lead, it would be better to send him directly to the enemy camp.
Liu Chan was very unconvinced and was about to continue talking when Liu Meng rushed in front and said: "Your Majesty, Chan'er is right. We, my sister and my brother, will take the lead later. We have been here for a while."
Time has passed, but we haven't accomplished anything yet. This opportunity is once in a lifetime, so we ask the Emperor to help us."
Seeing that the two siblings were eager to make contributions, Shao Yan said solemnly: "Mengmeng, Yi'er, I understand how you feel. If it were for other matters, I might consider it, but this matter is definitely not possible. On the battlefield,
The sword has no eyes, how could I let you take this risk?"
At this time, Liu Fuju, who had remained silent, said: "Your Majesty, young people are inevitably young and energetic, especially my two children. If you don't agree to them, I'm afraid they will have trouble with me again when they go back. Instead of doing this,
It’s better to let the two of them give it a try. The common people are also willing to be pioneers."
"Brother, you..." Shao Yan was halfway through his words. Cao Xuanjiao slowly walked to his side and said with a calm smile: "Your Majesty, since Mr. Liu has said so, I thought you wanted them to give it a try.
There is no defense. You just need to warn the surrounding ships and ask them to cooperate closely. In this way, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will not be able to hurt me at all."
It's not that Shao Yan doesn't want them to make contributions, but he is worried that the enemy will hurt them. In any case, Liu Fuju's family of three are distinguished guests from afar. He can't let them do risky things under any circumstances. However, the Liu family and his son repeatedly
He insisted, and Cao Xuanjiao, the female military advisor, also thought it was okay, so he had to reluctantly agree.
So, Liu Meng and Liu Chan were full of ambitions and boarded the huge warship at the front. With the sails raised high, the big ship immediately sailed straight to the island.
Not long after, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the clear sky, and the waves came one after another. Hundreds of warships sailed along with the wind. When the weather turned slightly cloudy, Liu Meng stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the hazy sea on the other side.
Countless white dots floated up. After the warship moved forward several hundred meters, it was clear that those white dots were the enemy's water fleet. They were obviously alert and sent out to investigate the situation.
Liu Meng said nothing and immediately ordered everyone to prepare for battle. For a while, all the shields formed a circle and were divided into upper and lower layers. Only a gap in the middle was left for bows and arrows. Liu Chan personally directed the soldiers to adjust the direction of attack.
, with the sound of a horn coming from the opposite side, I saw the enemy's water fleet quickly divided into several small boats, connected together in an orderly manner, like a thick wall
