Nagato has such a slim waist

Earthquakes, floods and other disasters have touched people's hearts and plunged Xinjing into a gloomy atmosphere.

Feng Yun accompanied Ruibao in the Qianyuan Hall to look through many disaster books. At dusk, when the sun had lost its dazzling glow, she had time to let Xiaoman accompany her to look for Puyang Yi.

She hasn't been to Taiping Garden, where Puyang Yi lives, for a long time.

Time has obliterated the old things, but the old people are still the same old people.

The eldest princess wore a wide-sleeved brocade gown and knelt at the desk. She was very polite to Feng Yun, which was a far cry from her attitude when she summoned Feng Yun in Taiping Garden during the Early Jin Dynasty.

Things are wrong.

Feng Yun bowed slightly.

"Her Royal Highness is well."

The eldest princess stood up and returned the greeting, "Thank you for your concern, my lady. I am still in good health."

He raised his sleeves again and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Feng Yun smiled slightly and knelt down in the guest seat.

The eldest princess looked much older. Although she had lived a life of luxury, her temples were already gray, which showed that she had not been happy over the years.

Without absolute power, even if the new dynasty gave her an honorable position, things would still be different.

She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

As for her son Puyang Zong, his title of Prince was retained, but when the new dynasty was first established, he was sent to Zhongjing to take up a sinecure. He had no worries about food and clothing, but no hope of promotion.

Some things don't need to be said, both parties understand.

Pei Jue was wary of the royal family and princes of the previous dynasty.

The princess probably never thought that the most promising person was her son-in-law Wen Xingsu. However, with a layer of power between them, it was no longer hers.

The two sat down and talked for a while.

Feng Yun is very polite.

The eldest princess was also polite and courteous.

"In the current situation, the clan members have become distant. If it's not during festivals, it's rare for them to visit each other. But the queen is thoughtful and still has the heart to come and visit..."

Feng Yun felt a little sad when he thought of the scene when the eldest princess was in power and her house was crowded with people.

"Your Highness, why should you be so polite? Our two families are very close."

After that, she went straight to the point and explained her purpose with a smile.

"I'm here to see my sister-in-law."

"My queen is thoughtful."

The eldest princess sighed and her eyes became red again.

"My lady, please persuade her for me. Once you get married, you should stay with your husband. What's the point of accompanying an old woman like me all day long?"

It's a bit awkward for the eldest princess to call herself an old woman, but it's not inappropriate.

Feng Yun said: "Sister-in-law also wants to be filial, why does Your Highness have to go against her wishes?"

The eldest princess' eyes were full of fatigue. "She should give birth to a child for the Wen family as soon as possible. This is the serious thing to do."

Feng Yun was silent.

When everyone's eyes were on Puyang Yi's belly, how much pressure would she feel?

The two were talking in the inner room when Puyang Yi came over.

She bowed and said with a smile, "Why is your Highness here?"

Feng Yun spoke the truth, "My elder brother asked me to accompany you more."

Puyang Yi felt a lump in his throat.

I couldn't speak and my eyes became red.

After a while, she calmed down and said to her with a smile:
"Have you had your dinner? I'll ask the cook to prepare it..."

"Don't bother, sister-in-law. I've already eaten."

Feng Yun pulled her and looked at the eldest princess.

"Your Highness, should I go and have a private conversation with my sister-in-law?"

The eldest princess nodded slightly and waved at them, "Go ahead."

Puyang Yi looked at her mother and Feng Yun, then sighed helplessly, "Did my mother ask you to persuade me again?"

Feng Yun tried to reconcile both sides, but also felt a little helpless.

"Your Highness is also thinking about your sister-in-law."

"I know." Puyang Yi hesitated and looked at the road ahead. "I'm going to listen to her this time."

Feng Yun was startled.

Then she smiled bitterly:

"I was just packing my luggage. My husband said that life in Dan County is hard... But I am his wife. If he can endure the hardship, why can't I?"

How can physical pain be as painful as mental pain?

Feng Yun looked at the woman in front of him.

From an ignorant girl to the current wife of a governor, a first-rank imperial decree...

She has changed really a lot.

"Go ahead." Feng Yun encouraged, "Sometimes, children are a matter of fate. I had no news for many years. That time I followed His Majesty to Xijing, and I was pregnant when I came back..."

Tears welled up in Puyang Yi's eyes, but she still had a stubborn smile on her face and held Feng Yun's hands tightly with both of her hands.

"I'll have some, won't I?"

"Yes." Everything in life is unpredictable.

But facing those burning eyes, Feng Yun was unwilling to say a single word of discouragement.

In order to follow in Wen Xingsu's footsteps, Puyang Yi did not even wait until the next day to say goodbye to Feng Yun, and set off with her luggage.

Feng Yun and Xiaoman sent her to the gate of the mansion.

After her carriage drove away, he said goodbye to the princess and returned to the palace.
-
The red sun sets in the west and falls on the glazed tiles.

The Qianyuan Hall was bathed in a solemn halo.

A month later, Yu Zhong and Shi Yin, who went to Cangyan Mountain, reported victory. The Beirong army was not the 100,000 troops reported, but only about 30,000 to 50,000. They did not dare to engage in a direct battle with the Dayong army. As always, they took advantage of the terrain of Cangyan Mountain to ambush, burn, kill and plunder...

On the third day after arriving at Cangyan Mountain, Yu Zhong and Shi Yin intercepted a vanguard cavalry unit of the Beirong in the canyon and annihilated them completely.

The court was filled with jubilation and praised the Beiyong Army for its achievements.

Pei Jue stood beside the desk in the imperial study, with his hands behind his back, staring at the map of Dayong on the table. His expression was solemn and cold, as if his gaze was filled with murderous intent, fixed on the vast territory of Dayong.

"Your Majesty, what has you figured out?" Feng Yun had walked behind him at some point and gently put his hands around his waist.

Pei Jue was not frightened.

She was the only person who could come and go freely in his study.

"There is no news from the south, so I feel uneasy."

Feng Yun glanced at the map and frowned. "I thought your majesty was worried about the disaster."

Pei Zhen said: "Disasters are God's will and cannot be prevented. Disasters are man-made and must be prevented..."

"That's right."

A smile appeared on Feng Yun's lips.

"Brother has been gone for so long, and there is no news?"

"Yes." Pei Jue said, "Five days ago. Everything was normal."

In theory, five days is not too long. If nothing unusual happens and it is not reported, it is nothing and not worth worrying about.

But Wen Xingsu was a cautious person. Pei Cong sent him to Dan County to supervise the army, which meant that he was on guard against the Qi army. As a subject, it was his duty to report to the king every day in order to eliminate his king's doubts.

Feng Yun's heart skipped a beat and he looked up.

"Is something wrong, brother?"

Eyes facing each other.

Pei Jue stared at her for a moment and suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

"Somebody come!"

The guards entered immediately.

"My subordinate is here."

Pei Jue said, "Send the message to the Tiqi Division Wei Zheng."

The servant just stepped down.

Pei Cong gave another cold order.

"Call all the ministers in the capital to discuss the matter in Qianyuan Hall."

"Here."

Feng Yun looked at him quietly.

Pei Jue hesitated for a moment, "Yun Niang, are you waiting for me here, or do you want to go and listen?"

Feng Yun said, "I'll go check Ruibao's homework."

Pei Jue nodded, and without staying for long, he went straight to the main hall.

The main hall of Qianyuan Hall is very spacious and can easily accommodate hundreds of people for meetings.

In silence, time passes very slowly...

Court officials arrived at Qianyuan Hall one after another.

The emperor and his ministers were solemn and the atmosphere was extremely low-pressure.

After about a cup of tea, Wei Zheng hurried over.

However, he did not come to receive orders, but to deliver news.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have received news that the Emperor of Southern Qi has personally led his army westward along the river, out of Chunning, over many mountains, and attacked Guyi County... Guyi has been lost."

One sentence was like thunder.

The Minister of the Chancellery was terrified and furious.

"If Qi mobilized 500,000 troops, there would be signs. Are all the scouts we have hired fools? Why don't they know anything?"

The ministers nodded frequently.

"Guyi has been lost, where is Governor Wen?"

The duty of the governor is to supervise all military affairs.

The court officials naturally directed their criticism at Wen Xingsu.

Wei Zheng sighed, and his sight was the emperor sitting silently on the dragon throne.

"You all don't know that the Southern Qi army acted very secretly this time. When the Tiqi Division received the news, the Qi army had already arrived at Guyi... Not only that, they had bribed the garrison commander of Guyi City long ago. The garrison commander rebelled on the battlefield and opened the city gate. With the help of the internal thieves, the garrison was hasty in fighting and could not resist. In just one hour, Guyi fell. If it weren't for Governor Wen's timely response and mobilizing the Southern Yong army in Dan County to intercept the main force of the Qi army at Suoyao Ridge, the situation would be even more unimaginable..."

It takes time to deploy troops.

Wen Xingsu had done what he could, and the ministers were extremely anxious, so they did not dare to blame him for anything.

Ao Zheng glanced at the emperor on the throne and said anxiously: "If we lose Guyi City and Dan County, Xinzhou will be in danger..."

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely right. At this critical moment, our dynasty should immediately mobilize the army to go to Dan County to support Governor Wen and drive the Qi army out of Guyi!"

The voice has not yet fallen.

Another long sound was heard outside.

"Report——"

"Urgent report from the Nanyong Army—"

Everyone's heart tightened.

This must be the latest news from Wen Xingsu.

In the hall, all the ministers held their breath and there was complete silence.

The messenger went straight into the Qianyuan Hall, knelt before the emperor, and presented his report with a bow.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Qi has issued a letter of accusation to the world, declaring that he wants to challenge the Emperor of Dayong to a duel."

Make a fight?

Everyone whispered.

When the letter was presented, Pei Cong raised his hand and signaled the court officials present to circulate it.

After reading the letter, all the ministers were filled with indignation.

During the war between Jin and Qi, the Jin army, which had an absolute advantage, agreed to the Qi emperor's proposal to resolve the issue of Xinzhou's ownership with three questions in order to avoid the expansion of the war and increase in civilian casualties.

When everyone thought about it later, it was clearly a trap set by Xiao San.

It was because Empress Dowager Li was ignorant that she nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, in the last round of the competition, the current queen used her superb mathematical skills to break through and defeated the great scholar Yan Buxi of Qi. In the end, Jin won two games and lost one, and won Xinzhou, which was well deserved.

The victory or defeat was decided in an elegant way, avoiding bloodshed and sacrifice. This matter was once praised as a good story. The gentlemanly demeanor of the Emperor of Qi also earned him the reputation of a wise ruler for many years...

On the other hand, after reaping all the benefits and enjoying years of peaceful development, they became more powerful and actually tore up the alliance, launched a surprise attack to seize the city, catching the allies off guard, and then "politely" sent a letter to declare war?
Outrageous!

All the ministers cursed in unison.

"The Qi people are really shameless!"

"Xiao San is immoral and shameless!"

"Since it is a fight, there must be some trickery involved."

"Your Majesty must not fall into their evil scheme."

Pei Jue listened quietly.

Slowly, he stroked the dragon throne and stood up.

"I'll go." (End of this chapter)
