Hou Kun

Chapter 18 Cold Arrow
"The empress has been in the palace for two years, right?" Shu Lan is a prostitute at home and has no sisters. Su Ge and Shu Lan are about the same age, and they often stay together as companions. It's better than talking to Fuhui.

After Shu Lan entered the palace, she had called her twice at first, but later on her status was very different, and there were many people around, so she couldn't speak casually, she was stiff and boring, and then she seldom saw each other.

Suge felt that Shulan had changed. The former Shulan, who looked like she was cutting shoes under the tree in the yard, also liked to count snowflakes, and she was only allowed to say that Shulan giggled. Put your ears to listen.Now my temperament is less lively, and I spend more time in silence.She was always asked to tell some funny stories outside the palace, but she just covered her mouth and smiled, but she was calm.

"That's right, it's been two years since a single child was born, so can you not hide your worries? Don't tell me that the emperor is not good enough?" Zhe Fujin stretched out his handkerchief and said casually.

The meagerness of the emperor's heir has already become a topic of chatter in the world.At first, he was suspicious of the blessings of the women in the harem, but later he realized that he had wronged them, and now he all said that the emperor was not good at giving birth.

"The emperor already has two princesses, how can it be insufficient? I'm afraid it will not be the time. When I entered the palace, my mother said that the emperor has a lot of government affairs, and he often rests in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the harem rarely summons him."

Fang Fujin curled his lips, "The Forbidden City looks good, but it's not delicious. To be a queen, you want to have heirs first, and then you want to guard against the concubine. You have to be careful with one and guard against the other for the rest of your life, and you want the emperor to stay in favor, be virtuous, and help take care of the litter." Is my concubine able to live a happy life? Fortunately, you didn't follow me into the palace, otherwise it would be difficult for me to see you...I'm just worried about her, there is no heir in the middle palace, so the status can't be guaranteed, but you said The emperor doesn't turn his cards around very much."

After all, Suge hadn't left the cabinet, her grandma just said that she was favored by a flop, and she was too embarrassed to answer the question.After straightening out the tourmaline beads hanging on the gourd loop buckle on the slanted breast, he murmured, "I heard that grandma, have you seen Princess Belle's house?"

Fujin immediately forgot about the queen, and raised his daughter's worries, "I met you once. In the first month when we just returned to Khalkha, your ama took Fujin and me to give a gift, and it happened that Baylor also brought his family back. During the Chinese New Year, his Fujin also came. I saw that Grandpa Belle Fujin had insufficiency, coughing all the time, and his face was sallow, so I asked more questions, and her little Gege was always by my side.

I heard that this is Lord Baylor's third Fujin, who only gave birth to a daughter, so he is not very favored, but he is very fond of Gege.Not long after going back, I heard that Fujin went there. "

Su Ge wanted to ask if that daughter was prettier than her, but she didn't know how to ask.He didn't talk to him, just listened quietly.Now it has nothing to do with Ezha, but I am more curious about the woman he will marry in the future.

"Ahem,,, little Gege has a round face and curved eyes, very festive," said Fujin cautiously, "Happy is festive, and has nothing to do with beauty. After all, she is still young and hasn't grown up. I think Ezha and She didn't say much, she ran after Eza."

Girls' minds are transparent, and Suge understood it as soon as she heard it. Probably little Gege has been thinking about Ezha since then.Ezha is a person like the breeze and the moon, with a soft temper, which is the easiest to arouse the love of the youngest daughter.

He is a childhood sweetheart, and it sounds like he is the one who insists on squeezing Ezha's side.Suge couldn't help feeling discouraged.

The two mothers cuddled together and talked, and Su Ge later simply lay down beside her mother, smelling the scent of Fujin's body, and felt more aggrieved than usual.As he spoke, he became sleepy, yawned, turned around and fell asleep.

Seeing Suge's deep sleep, Ce Fujin himself is not sleepy anymore.

She was in the palace, but she actually went around to inquire about Ezha's whereabouts, but she didn't get any information.She is a person who is careless in everything, but she is not careless.She always felt that Ezha hadn't returned home.She pretended not to mention this matter, but how long could she keep it from Suge?

Two days later, the news of Xiao Fujin's return to the sun spread.Shocked, Fujin and Suge wanted to visit, but Yabu stopped them.

"The prince's mansion is still in chaos right now. Apart from shopping, even the sacrificial offerings are temporarily closed. Don't go messing around. Just send someone to send some old ginseng."

Yabu has been in the mansion for several days, and the affairs in the flag are still in chaos. Amin is making troubles, Prince Yi can't do it directly, so he has to ask Belle to mediate with Amin.As for Ezha, he asked Prince Yi twice, but he was dismissed, and even he kept it a secret, which is not a good thing.

These things, when he came back, he only picked up a few things that he could talk about, and told Fujin.Fujin knew the severity, and he was the most able to hold his breath.

The snow in Khalkha stopped after a few days.Once it cleared up, there was a pool of blue water in the sky. The pines and cypresses with their icicles, without any wind, stood firmly on the side of the road, freezing Khalkha into a landscape of splashed ink.

It is the coldest when the snow melts, and this year it has been snowing heavily, making it even harder to mix with Jiang Dong.At this time in previous years, Yongchang and the others would take the ice bed they made to play on the river.When they were in Beijing, they went to Shichahai, and the ice was solid and thick.It’s just that there are too many people, and it’s easy to overturn the car when you come and go. It’s only when I arrived at Khalkha that the ice surface of the Huntong River is four or five Shichahai big. Even the ice bed has to be the size of a car, so it’s more fun to play.

At the moment, Yongchang is also skating along the Huntong River.He sat on a huge ice bed pulled by ten dogs. The ice bed was covered with thick tiger skin and wolf fur mattresses, a canopy was built, and thick door curtains were hung.The northwest wind blew against his face, even the thick fox fur cap couldn't block the wind, his face was blue and red.

That day he sent Fang Fujin back to the mansion, but he didn't even enter the house, so he rushed back to run errands.This time, it was Prince Yi who ordered it himself, and even his Ama was not allowed to tell, so he rushed north to Fuyu overnight.

Two days later he met Eza.

Ezha was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and the arrow was coated with poison. The wound never grew back, festered, red and swollen, burning hot, and he was unconscious all the time.

They were in an ambush in Beifuyu, and the manpower sent by the old prince was really strong, they protected Eza and broke out of the encirclement, and continued to head south.

It's just that Eza was shot by a cold arrow because of his lack of experience.Fortunately, it didn't take long to meet Prince Yi, and after handing over the book and commanding soldier talisman to Guang Lu, he passed out.Guanglu sent people to find the best trauma healer in the best local hospital for treatment, and rushed to Khalkha first.

The military doctor Yongchang took to remove the bones and cut the flesh, but his injuries gradually improved, and Ezha was able to wake up for an hour every day, so he decided to return to the palace.He was thinking about his Ernie, and Yong Chang naturally did not dare to tell about Xiao Fujin's death.The snow covered the road and it was very difficult to travel.In the end, it was always Yongchang’s idea to follow the Huntong River, use the ice bed as a car, use dogs as horses, and make some detours, but it is faster than spending time clearing snow and obstacles on the road.

Furthermore, Ezha's injury must be rushed back to the palace for treatment as soon as possible.So on the mixed river, a large ice cart followed by a group of small ice carts, driven by dozens of dogs as strong as wolves, gliding day and night, marching towards Khalkha.

When Amin was competing with Guanglu, Eza came back.
