Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

"Deng deng deng"

Listening to the sound of people coming down the stairs without a pause, until she could no longer sense Chen Mo's breath, Nalan Yiren snorted coldly in anger, her sharp eyebrows mixed with a hint of annoyance.

For some reason, although she acted very angry, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart. Feeling the soreness and strangeness in the collar of her clothes, she raised her hands as if possessed by a ghost and made a snowman by imitating what Chen Mo had just done.

Nalan Yiren frowned. How come she didn't feel anything? When that bastard touched her just now, her body went limp and numb.

She sat down in front of the dressing table and began to unbutton her clothes. She glanced left and right, and after making sure that no one was peeking, she pulled her clothes down. Without the covering of her bellyband, her slightly broad chest was white and rosy, as if it had been ravaged without a trace of pity.

Nalan Yiren's eyes were blank for a moment, and she bit her bloodless lips kissed by Chen Mo.

That bastard was so cruel.

Nalan Yiren quickly suppressed the strangeness in her heart and cursed someone with vicious words in her heart.

the other side.

After Chen Mo came out of the Observatory, he walked in the corridor, his expression still savoring the past. For him, who was fond of flowers, that feeling was not the best, but it was very different when the object was Nalan Yiren.

As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a wife.
Although this sounds harsh, it just confirms Chen Mo's current thoughts.

After all, Nalan Yiren is not his woman yet. For a bad man like Chen Mo, every step forward brings a huge sense of accomplishment and spiritual pleasure.

He took out the bellyband and sniffed it. It smelled like a bath scent mixed with a hint of medicine. The bellyband was of ordinary style and color, nothing special, but it was still a good choice for collection.

Chen Mo admitted that he was a little abnormal at the moment.

He put away his bellyband and walked towards his bedroom. On the way, he thought that the Chinese New Year would be tomorrow and he should talk to the Queen about the New Year.

Weiyang Palace.

There is a stove burning in the inner hall, and as the heat rises, you can feel the warmth. The bronze incense burner with auspicious beasts is emitting the fragrance from the Western Regions, which fills the entire hall and makes people feel refreshed.

The ground was covered with a fluffy carpet. Wu Mi sat on the carpet with a number of exquisite brocade bags placed in front of him.

At this moment, a female official entered the palace and said to Wu Mi, "Empress, His Majesty has arrived."

Wu Mi stood up happily when she heard this. Just as she was about to go to greet him, Chen Mo stepped into the hall one step behind the female official and said, "Mi'er, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, you are here." Wu Mi stepped forward and took Chen Mo's arm and sat down on the carpet together.

The female official lowered her head and retreated.

Wu Mi pointed at the brocade bags in front of her and said, "Tomorrow is the New Year. These are the New Year gifts I prepared for you sisters. This is a tradition in the palace."

"What are these?" Chen Mo nodded, picked up a brocade bag embroidered with the word "Shu" and opened it. Inside was a jade bracelet in excellent condition.

"They are just some small things like bracelets, hairpins, and finger guards. They are not valuable, but just for celebration." Wu Mi said with a smile.

Chen Mo opened several brocade bags and took a look. It was the same as Wu Mi said, but the types and qualities of the bracelets and jade hairpins were different.

"That's thoughtful." Chen Mo put down the brocade bag, reached out and gently took Wu Mi's slender hand, playing with it carefully.

Just as Wu Mi was about to speak, he suddenly smelled an unfamiliar scent and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, whose sister's palace did you visit just now?"

"It was with Yiren just now." Chen Mo did not hide it.

Wu Mi was slightly startled when she heard this. No wonder the smell seemed a little strange. Since she came to the harem, she had not visited Nalan Yiren.

"Oh, if Your Majesty hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about the Imperial Master." Wu Mi was startled. She had forgotten to prepare Nalan Yiren.

Chen Mo smiled and gently put his arm around Wu Mi's shoulders. It must be said that she had a very good attitude. Even after Yang Qingqing's complaint, she still had the mind to prepare gifts for the girls.

Wu Mi leaned her head against Chen Mo's arms and said softly, "What New Year's gift would you like, Your Majesty?"

"Anything is fine?" Chen Mo chuckled.

Wu Mi blushed. After all, they were an old couple. She could guess something from his expression and nodded lightly with a red face.

"Then I think..." Chen Mo leaned close to Wu Mi's ear and said it quickly. Without waiting for her to answer, he leaned close to her plump and slightly moist lips and kissed her.

Wu Mi's eyes widened and he was terrified.

……

Jinxia, ​​Imperial Study.

"Great Khan, I just received a report from a spy from the Great Wei. The Great Wei court sent troops to solve the problem of Yang Xian, the governor of Shu Prefecture, who was holding his own troops. Up to now, the Great Wei court has completely cleaned up the country, and the people's livelihood and economy of the Great Wei are also thriving.

If the situation continues to develop like this, in a few years, the Emperor of Wei will probably become like Emperor Taizu of Song four hundred years ago, and become the nightmare of our Jinxia. Great Khan, we must be on guard. "

Wanyan Xiaji said in a deep voice. Four hundred years ago, Emperor Taizu of Song "invaded" Jinxia. That battle almost broke the backbone of Jinxia. If it weren't for the fact that the Song Dynasty had just been established and the country was not stable, and the subsequent supply could not keep up, Jinxia would have been destroyed at that time.

But even so, Jin Xia still couldn't stand up straight for hundreds of years. It was only in recent decades that it got rid of its decadence, but it still hit a wall at the hands of Chen Mo.

Wanyan Xiaji regarded Chen Mo and the Wei Dynasty he founded as his greatest enemy.

What happened four hundred years ago must never happen again.

From his perspective, it is impossible for Chen Mo not to seek revenge, so he must be prepared before that. If possible, it is best to act in advance so as not to give the newly established Wei too much time to grow.

Tuoba Hui, the Khan of Jinxia, ​​is not a short-sighted person. From what we know about Chen Mo so far, he is too much like Emperor Taizu of Song who lived four hundred years ago.

They all came from the lower classes, but they seized the opportunity to rise to the top, sweeping across the world without a single defeat.

Moreover, Chen Mo is younger than Emperor Taizu of Song.

Judging from the information Wanyan Xiaji just reported, Chen Mo still has the potential to be a wise ruler.

This is a big enemy for Jin Xia.

but.

Tuoba Hui sighed: "The failure of the previous attack on the Song Dynasty killed nearly half of our elite troops. In addition, the consumption of pacifying the Northern Di has wiped out all the accumulation of the national treasury in recent years. Now the national treasury is empty, and the previous defeat has caused great panic in the entire army. The people are tired of war. It is impossible to organize external wars in a short time."

The main reason was that Jinxia was poor in resources and most of the land in the country was not suitable for farming, resulting in expenditures greater than harvests. The war against Song in the past two years was all using up all the capital, but unfortunately they lost.

What Jinxia is using now are all prisoners of war that the army has fought in recent years.

Jin Xia needs time to recover.

Although he had guessed that the treasury was empty and Jinxia could not fight any more foreign wars, Wanyan Xiaji could not help but sigh after hearing Tuoba Hui's answer and said, "Khan, if that's the case, then we have to slow down the pace of Wei's development so that they can't be faster than us."

"General Xia Ji has any idea?" Tuoba Hui raised his eyes and looked at Wanyan Xia Ji.

"There is a method, but it is too detrimental to one's virtue and is also detrimental to the harmony of nature."

"It's already this late, why are you still talking about hidden virtues and harmony with heaven? These are all matters that will happen after death, so hurry up and tell us."

Wanyan Xiaji bowed to Tuoba Hui and said, "Great Khan, it is time for the God of Plague to descend upon Zhongzhou."

Tuoba Hui frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let's do as General Xia Ji wants."

"promise."

Wanyan Xiaji withdrew.

After Wanyan Xiaji left, Tuoba Hui fell into deep thought.

Tuoba Hui didn't care about such illusory things as harmony of heaven and good deeds, but if he didn't handle things like the coming of the God of Plague well, it could easily affect him.

It requires careful planning.

"Great Khan, Khatun requests to see you." At this time, an eunuch walked into the imperial study and said to Tuoba Hui.

"Pass it quickly." Tuoba Hui said quickly.

"Great Khan." Wanyan Ya walked in from outside with a food box in her hand and a bright smile on her face.

Wanyan Ya was wearing a plain fur coat, a white waistcoat, and a miniskirt. Although the fur coat could cover her legs, when she walked, her slender, round, and flexible legs would appear from under the coat.

The fur coat was tightly tied at the waist, and the upper part was open, revealing a white undershirt underneath. The neckline of the undershirt was very low, and one could vaguely see a hint of roundness and depth, which made the figure look extremely hot.

Of course, only Tuoba Hui could feast his eyes on such a beautiful view. The eunuchs in the palace all kept their heads down and dared not look up. The most they could see was Wanyan Ya's legs.

According to the customs and habits of Jinxia, ​​Wanyan Ya's way of dressing is not shameless or coquettish, but a very normal way to show beauty. No one would think it is against morals, even though Wanyan Ya has a face like a vixen.

"Erya is here."

A smile appeared on Tuoba Hui's face. Whenever he saw Wanyan Ya, his attention would be attracted to her. He would not think about or look at anything else. It was as if as long as Wanyan Ya was by his side, he could give up everything.

"Khan, some time ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent some osmanthus flowers from the Song Dynasty. I made osmanthus cake for you. Please try it." Wanyan Ya put the food box on the desk.

It was clearly just a very ordinary and intimate word, but when it came out of Wanyan Ya's mouth, it carried a hint of charm.

She was like a reincarnated fox spirit, charming and enchanting in her every move.
