Gel makeup

Chapter 131

In September of the 21st year of Xining, the rebel army killed Zheng Xianzhong, the governor of Fujian, and captured the whole of Fujian. The troops were divided into three groups and went north to attack Zhejiang.The troops entered Taizhou and Chuzhou on the east road, Guangxin and Raozhou on the west road, and Quzhou from Xianxialing on the middle road.

When Siqing received the letter from Jiangnan Sifeima, she no longer cared about Sun Pingfu.The rebel army attacked Zhejiang, and the wind became more and more serious. Siqing was still used to Yanqi, but she always couldn't sleep well.Lying on the couch in Wanyue Pavilion, she held up a small makeup mirror inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and carefully applied the fashionable rouge—Nen Wuxiang.At this moment, Yunchu came in and said, "The imperial concubine is here."

Siqing frowned slightly, and casually threw the rouge into the pool of Taiye, and the water in the pool glowed a strange red.The Concubine Ding'an was wearing a black gown with a vertical collar and a brown silk topknot. She hurried in with a look of panic on her face, "What's going on?"

Just as Siqing was about to speak, Yuchu came in again to report, "Mr. Fan Ge is asking to see you."

Siqing nodded, "Please come in." Then she said to Concubine Ding'an, "Young lady, sit down first and listen to him."

After Fan Ziran went inside and saluted, Grand Concubine Ding'an couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean your majesty didn't reply? How do you do things?"

Fan Ziran knew that the empress dowager Renkang wanted to honor her as an empress dowager after she passed away, but the empress dowager refused, so he respectfully replied: "Return to your concubine, Your Majesty has already left in early September. , Because of changes in the northern border, His Majesty went to Pingcheng to supervise the battle. The northern border was tentatively scheduled on the [-]th, and His Majesty was supposed to go to the Yining Palace and return to Beijing, but the cabinet transferred important reports and abbreviations, except for the emergency military reports related to the front line. The reply from Li Xiang who was driving, and other papers were returned, and there was no reply after posting red. There are still some important matters. Li Xiang said that the cabinet should handle it according to the circumstances. The minister asked Li Xiang about his majesty's itinerary, and Li Xiang wrote back to say please The minister awaits another order..."

The noble concubine said anxiously: "What do you mean by saying this? Where is Your Majesty now? Who is escorting you?"

Fan Ziran said: "I...don't know."

When Xiao Yi returned to Beijing last year, Siqing never heard from Xiao Yi.But that time, it was only the Jingwei under her and the Jingwei next to Xiao Yi who broke the news, and there is no abnormality between Shangxingyuan and the five cabinet houses.This time the cabinet also broke the news with today's Shangyuan, so Siqing could only force herself to be calm, patted Concubine Ding'an on the shoulder reassuringly, and said, "Who will accompany you back to Beijing? Will the second king Duanjing accompany you?"

Fan Ziran said: "Going back to the Queen, King Duan was detained in Beijing due to illness, and whether King Xiao Jing accompanied him or not, I don't know."

Siqing asked again: "What else is there for Fan Ge?"

"I come to see you, I have two things to report," Fan Ziran said, "One is that Zheng Xianzhong, governor of Fujian Province, died for his country..."

Concubine Ding'an couldn't help asking: "Zheng Xianzhong? Zheng Yiqin's son?"

Fan Ziran said: "Back to your noble concubine, Zheng Fuyuan is the son of Mr. Zheng Ge."

Siqing sighed, "Elder Zheng Ge is in Beijing, you go to his house to comfort him."

Fan Ziran answered "Yes", and said: "There is one more thing. The whole Fujian fell, and the rebels attacked Zhejiang. In the past few days, whether it is the main governor or the main suppression, there has been a lot of quarrels in the court... Li Xiang asked the court to decide on its own. I really don't know what to do..."

Siqing fiddled with the unicorn pendant on Ding'an's imperial concubine's skirt and said casually: "What's there to caress? Are you really rowing across the river?"

Fan Ziran didn't dare to answer, so Concubine Ding'an asked, "What did Chaoli say?"

Fan Ziran replied: "There are many people in the court who retreat rather than destroy, or say, 'Why send troops? In the past, Shun gave birth to Wende, danced with dry feathers and had Miaoge, now I don't bother to use troops, let him decide for himself', or say, 'Why bother? Teachers are far away, and thieves are coming, I will wait for the labor with ease, and I can breathe a sigh of relief."

Concubine Ding'an was annoyed when she heard this, "Where did the thieves go? The thieves have already hit Jiangzuo, where can they be counted as waiting for work?!"

Si Qing said: "Old Fan Ge, wait a little longer, wait and see if there is any reply from His Majesty's actions."

Fan Ziran said helplessly: "The minister is afraid that the overall situation will be ruined."

Si Qing said: "Mr. Fan Ge, please first. If there is still no response from His Majesty's visit within two or three days, then we can discuss it in the long term."

Saying this is tantamount to not saying it, Fan Ziran sighed and quit.Grand Concubine Ding'an wanted to cry, "What should I do?"

Siqing said: "I'll ask Jingwei to send someone to contact third brother."

Concubine Ding'an nodded her head and said: "Okay. I heard that elder brother has not slept well at night these few days, and I will go back to the palace to see him. If you have any letter, please send someone to tell me."

Siqing said: "I'm sorry to bother you, little lady." As he said, he sent Ding'an noble concubine out, and asked someone to look for Cheng Yingzhou.For a moment, he saw He Meiren and his group approaching from the Yueshi Building not far away, and beckoned her to come over, only to see that she was wearing a bright moon blue "happy eyebrow slightly" double-breasted blouse, holding a few crimson roses in her hands and walking away. Come salute.

Siqing smiled and said, "See, you've been very comfortable recently."

He Meiren leaned back and said, "It's all thanks to the empress's blessing."

The two of them walked towards the stone boat in the Taiye Pool, and in the setting sun, the outline of Xiyuan turned golden, which looked extraordinarily broad.He Meiren said in a low voice: "Mrs. Ningshouhou couldn't resist coming to see me yesterday..."

"I know," Siqing said, "She also came to see me."

He Meiren looked around, and said cautiously: "She said that Chaoli has not been peaceful recently..."

"Master Fu, Master Suppressor," Si Qing said succinctly, "What do they think?"

He Mei said humanely: "The appeal is more prosperous."

Siqing nodded, "Your Majesty will be back soon, you can talk to Your Majesty when the time comes."

At night, Yuan Lingbo, the military guard who was still in the capital, begged for an interview. Siqing hurriedly let her in, and said with a smile, "You guys are traveling too fast." before the key.Finally, Siqing asked, "Where is Sun Pingfu?"

Ling Bo said: "We separated in Tonghe, and he said that he would wait for His Majesty to return to Beijing before surrendering."

Siqing asked, "How much truth do you think he said?"

Ling Bo said: "Ten, it means that there is no proof."

"What is it called ten without evidence?" Siqing said helplessly.

Ling Bo said: "It sounds reasonable..."

Yun Chu came in and said with a smile: "The key is about to be released outside."

Siqing said to Yuan Lingbo: "You go first, go see Lu Chu."

Ling Bo got up to leave, and Yun Chu smiled and said, "I'll see you off."
