Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Ah Jing responded obediently, picked up the jug honestly, and poured wine into the glass.

The clear wine swirls, exuding the aroma of the wine, and drinks it together with the sound of discussion in Qingfeng Hall.

Yu Xinghong just finished talking with an adult next to him, and turned around. After a while, his eyes drifted to the opposite side again, and he withdrew with just one glance, as if passing by inadvertently.

All the ministers who are serving by your side tonight are people brought by themselves, and Yu Xinghong is no exception.

He turned his head slightly, and the guard beside him understood what he meant, and hurriedly approached, taking advantage of the opportunity to pour the wine, he asked, "What's the matter, master?"

"Pay attention to that maid next to Concubine Li."

The guard raised his eyes and then lowered them, and the wine just filled his cup at this time, "Yes."

Because of drinking, Yu Xinghong's eyes were a little red, but his eyes were still very clear.He cared about Ah Jing not only because she appeared beside Nan Zhen, but more importantly, because she looked familiar.

But the distance is a bit far away, Nan Zhen's position is not very bright, and Ah Jing is behind it, the light is even more dim, and even her face is too blurred to make out.

The banquet lasted for a long time, and everyone seemed to be drunk.

Nan Zhen felt that the hall was a little stuffy, so she talked to Ah Jing, then quietly left the hall and went to the small garden outside to breathe.

The starry sky in summer is very clear, it is a deep dark blue, during which the stars twinkle non-stop, obviously silent, but it feels that the sky is very noisy.

Nan Zhen raised her head with her hands behind her back, letting the breeze blow over her head, and there was a slight sound of footsteps.

Her eyes were sharp for a moment, she was vigilant, but she didn't look back.

And the other party didn't make her wait too long, and took a big step, standing side by side with her, "Miss Lipin is so excited, she ran outside to watch the stars alone."

Nan Zhen chuckled, "People are not as good-looking as stars."

The other party was taken aback, then nodded, "That makes sense."

Seeing that the people next to her hadn't spoken for a long time, Nan Zhen looked sideways, "Why did Your Highness come out?"

The person who came was none other than the protagonist of this practice dinner, Xiao Yiheng.

Before today, Nan Zhen hadn't seen him for a long time. In her memory, Xiao Yiheng had always been arrogant and stern. Now, I don't know if it was because of the upcoming expedition, Nan Zhen actually saw a sense of righteousness from him.

This kind of temperament, which was fought among thousands of troops, was different from others.

"I don't have much interest in looking at the moon and starry sky in the capital on weekdays. I only take a little souvenir at this time."

But this feeling is very light, as long as he lifts the knife and mounts the horse, it disappears without a trace.

Past experience, doomed that he is not a person who hurts the spring and the autumn.

He belongs to the battlefield, the sound of horseshoes kicking, the sound of swords clashing, the roar of soldiers...all make his blood rush.

Nan Zhen was silent for a second, and suddenly said seriously, "Your Highness will return triumphant."

"Huh?" Xiao Yiheng was quite surprised, "I am triumphant, and it will not be a good thing for you and Your Majesty."

If he returns victorious, his prestige will only be unprecedentedly high, and there will be countless crowds, and Xiao Rongxi will be hard to resist if he wants to seize the throne.

Nan Zhen smiled indifferently, "But it's a good thing for Da Zhou. On the battlefield, the victory you expect is also what your Majesty and I expect."

Nan Zhen paused, and then said a few words softly, "First the country, then the family."

Hearing her words, Xiao Yiheng couldn't help but look sideways, "As expected of a woman who can't be trapped in the backyard of the deep palace, others can't say that. But this king is still very curious, if this king returns from victory, how should you deal with it?"

Nan Zhen didn't answer him directly, but just stared into his eyes and said, "It's a lot of fun to fight against the strong."

Xiao Yiheng's breathing was slightly stagnant, and then he laughed loudly, "It's a 'pleasant joy', if there is a chance in the future, this king will chat with the pavilion master again."

After finishing speaking, she took a deep look at Nan Zhen, turned around and walked towards Qingfeng Hall.

He has doubted Nan Zhen's identity for a long time. If he can't find out or guess anything in such a long period of time, his Highness's name can already be given to others.

And Nan Zhen was only surprised for a moment, then chuckled, "I'll wait."

Since returning to Beijing, she has not deliberately avoided contact with everyone in Mingyue Pavilion. She is not surprised that Xiao Yiheng can find out.

To her surprise, the other party broke at this time.

Sometimes Xiao Yiheng is really confusing.

Nan Zhen shook her head, no longer entangled with this matter, and continued to observe the flickering stars in the sky.Behind him, the sound of cups clashing came from Qingfeng Hall.

……

The army set out, the court was stable, and before I knew it, more than a month had passed.

There are battle reports from the Northwest from time to time, either happy or worrying.The harem does not interfere in politics, Xiao Guizi and Dongyue have a good relationship, and she will not tell her these things, so Dongyue's daily activities are to take care of many matters in the cold palace, care about the growth of vegetables, and then chat with Nan Zhen.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you seen Ah Jing lately?" Dongyue picked up vegetables patiently with a shauke in her arms.

Nan Zhen just finished practicing the sword, and wiped the blade while saying, "I have a task for her, and I may get some clues recently, so hurry up and confirm."

Dongyue was confused, "What clue?"

"I don't know too well. She said she will tell me when she is sure."

"Oh," Dongyue nodded, put aside a yellow vegetable leaf, and couldn't help asking, "Ma'am, what tasks can I complete?"

During this period of time, people would come to the Leng Palace from time to time.

No matter who it is, they are all outstanding in lightness and graceful in appearance.Especially Qingying, who speaks and does things neatly, looks like a heroine, and is more vigorous than the people in the storybooks she has heard, which makes her very envious.

And I can only sweep the floor, clean the windows, do laundry and cook, and I have no sense of accomplishment.

Nan Zhen turned her head and saw that Dongyue's mouth was so raised that she could hang an oil bottle. She probably guessed what she was thinking and asked, "Have you ever heard a saying, 'The food and grass go first before the carriages and horses move'."

"Ah... heard it, and then?"

Nan Zhen said solemnly, "This is to tell us that although the marching materials are not directly facing the enemy, they are very important. If you don't have enough to eat, how do you still plan and how do you have the strength to act? Your mission is similar to this. Wonderful, difficult and honorable, relevant to everyone, indispensable."

Dongyue was taken aback for a while, and under Nan Zhen's gaze, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense.

"Hmm! Your Majesty has seen it clearly. After you mentioned it, I immediately became more motivated. I decided to add another dish at noon to ensure that you can eat it well."

Nan Zhen nodded, and suppressed the corners of her raised lips, "That's right, a child can be taught."

"By the way," Dongyue asked again, "When is your mother's birthday?"

Nan Zhen didn't rush to answer, but instead asked, "When did your lady celebrate her birthday?"

Dongyue pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "Miss was not born just before her birthday."
