The county owner is happy, and the scenery is remarried
Chapter 169 Military Order
Chapter 169 Military Order
The eldest lady pointed at Mei Xiang, but didn't say a word for a long time.
Mei Xiang knelt weakly, with an innocent look on her face.
The truth is that she treats servants harshly.
"Get lost!" The eldest lady took a long time to speak, "I'm too lazy to care about her, and her maid also disappeared from my sight!"
Mei Xiangsi retreated gracefully.
Xiao Yuzhuo went back to wash up, hugged Xiao Chongwu who was about to fall asleep in a daze, and when Xiao Chongwu closed his eyes and snored lightly, she handed Chongwu to the nanny.
I also quickly lay down, the ups and downs of the mood this day, it is really tossing people.
She had to brace herself for the situations that came her way.
Xiao Yuzhuo guessed right.
The next day she just greeted the eldest princess and sent Chongwu and Changkang to the eldest princess to play.
Then I heard from Zhuxiang that there will be news from the alliance.
"The person who sent the letter said that the news should be told to the lady face to face, so it's not good to lie to others." Zhu Xiang reported.
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes, "So cautious, could it be that something unexpected has been found out?"
"It's about the battle between General Jing and the former crown prince. Madam, do you want to intervene in person?" Zhuxiang asked.
"Where is the person who sent the news?"
"Go back to my lady, I'm waiting outside Xiao's house, waiting for my lady to summon me."
"Isn't there a flower hall between the inner and outer courtyards? My aunt always meets the shopkeepers outside there every few months?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Mei Xiang nodded repeatedly, she had paid attention to this matter, "The flower hall is reserved for the lady in charge of the inner courtyard to meet outsiders, it is very convenient, and it is not used by the eldest lady."
"Then I will use it." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Mei Xiang helped her go.
Zhuxiang went outside to lead people in.
Xiao Yuzhuo was greatly surprised to see the person who sent the message.
"It's just a message, how can shopkeeper Liang come here in person?" Xiao Yuzhuo was surprised, it was Liang Sheng who came.
How can he say that he is also the president of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce now, who can he send for such a trivial matter?
However, Liang Sheng's face was full of humility, "There is nothing trivial about what the lady told you."
These words can't help but make people moved.
"Shopkeeper Liang, you are being polite." Xiao Yuzhuo returned the courtesy.
Liang Sheng hurriedly cupped his hands, "And this matter is indeed not small. General Jing encountered the former prince's soldiers and horses. Although the former prince's soldiers and horses were numerous, the military preparations of the government soldiers have always been inferior to the Shenwu Army and the Yulin Army. The soldiers led by General Jing himself Horses are even better at fighting one against ten or one against a hundred, General Jing shouldn't have been injured so badly."
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart froze.
"Shopkeeper Liang also met General Jing?" Mei Xiang asked in surprise.
Liang Sheng took a look at Xiao Yuzhuo, lowered his head and said, "Yes, the villain also walked along for a while."
There was a look of surprise on Mei Xiang's face.
He never talked about Liang Sheng's friendship with his wife, but those who followed her could see it.
Even though he knew that Liang Sheng would never take advantage of others' dangers to harm General Jing, he was able to personally rescue Jing Yannian, and even escorted him for a while... It's really surprising.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes were slightly fixed, but he didn't make a sound.
"The villain was very surprised when he learned about the situation. In addition, the lady ordered to investigate the matter, so the villain went to investigate it himself. After several inquiries, he finally found something!" Liang Sheng looked around.
There are no outsiders in the flower hall.
The people Liang Sheng brought and Zhu Xiang stood guard at the entrance of the flower hall.
The two of them practice martial arts, their hearing and eyes are sharp, and their six senses are keen, which can prevent those who want to come close to eavesdrop.
Liang Sheng lowered his voice and said: "After General Jing encountered the first prince, because of the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, General Jing ordered people to ask for the support of the court soldiers and horses, intending to capture the first prince alive. The closest one is the army led by King Ji. King Ji They also dispatched soldiers and horses as soon as they received the news. It's just..."
Xiao Yuzhuo felt a chill in her heart, she probably already guessed what it was...
"It's just that I never thought that King Ji's soldiers did not join forces with General Jing to encircle and suppress the late prince. Instead, they attacked from behind General Jing. General Jing was attacked from the back, let alone guarding against the imperial court's soldiers and horses joining forces to attack the late prince. General Jing was seriously injured in order to lead the army to break through." Liang Sheng said briefly.
But Xiao Yuzhuo seemed to have seen how he fought the enemy bravely among the gold and iron horses, and found out that he was betrayed, and the moment he was attacked by the enemy, he did not know what kind of pain and despair he experienced in his heart...
But even so, he was not discouraged, but instead personally served as the vanguard and led the army to break through.
"The villain really admires the general's perseverance and courage. After breaking through, General Jing asked his lieutenant to lead the troops, but he left behind... so the general was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood." Liang Sheng said in a low voice. .
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips, "Prince Ji..."
It is understandable that Prince Ji wants to be an emperor. Probably every promising prince he raises has a heart to strive to be an emperor.
But the means of the emperor can't be so insidious and narrow!
Jing Yannian is attacking the former prince!No matter how you say it, King Ji is also in the same camp.
King Ji had a very good relationship with him before, but before he saw that he was highly valued by the sage and was given the title of king with a different surname, he tried to win over Jing Yannian, but now he is doing well, afraid that Jing Yannian's great achievements will become his hindrance, Don't hesitate to turn around and frame revenge like this!
At the beginning, I saw that Ji Wang was a gentleman, but I really missed him!
"King Ji has a very good reputation among the ministers and literati, so it is hard to believe such news when the villain investigates. But after several investigations, he is sure." Liang Sheng sighed, "Maybe the rights will really come true. Changing a person's mind, Ji Wang was not such a person."
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
I still remember the Ji Wang who played chess with Xiao Shiwuniang in Mingjue Temple.
Under the trees by the river, there is rich green shade, green bricks on the floor, white marble stone tables and benches, and a chessboard. He sits opposite the chessboard, and the sunlight shines on his body through the gaps in the leaves.
He was holding the chess pieces, staring at the chessboard with such focused eyes... he really is a young master like jade.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who would be so unscrupulous for personal gain.
Power is really a demon that corrupts people's hearts.
"Now King Yue's soldiers and horses are all in the hands of King Ji, and Xiu Yuan is seriously injured at home, so don't most of the soldiers and horses fall into the hands of King Ji?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a deep voice.
Liang Sheng nodded, "It looks like this on the surface, but among the soldiers and horses of the King of Yue, there are also the confidantes of the King of Yue. They are not completely obeying the orders of the King Ji, and the King Ji is trying to evade their authority. Although General Jing is injured, Habayashi The army is the Holy One's own soldiers and will not obey King Ji's orders. The Holy One will not hand over the Habayashi Army to King Ji either. He only allocated part of the Shenwu Army for King Ji to dispatch."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "So, now the main force against the former prince is only King Ji."
Liang Sheng nodded.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "He is so insidious and despicable, so we can't blame others for being too cruel to him."
"What is the lady going to do?" Liang Sheng asked, clasping his hands, clearly hearing that she intended to target King Ji, but he didn't hesitate when he asked.
"Transfer all the food and grass from the merchants near his soldiers and horses to other places, don't give him a chance. Then quietly... invite the masters of the rivers and lakes to pretend to be the former prince's men and horses, and intercept his food and grass. Take away what you can take away, but not Go and burn it." Xiao Yuzhuo's face was cold, and there was a little anger in his words.
A woman is kind, but there is no womanly kindness on her face at the moment.
King Ji acted like this, if he is not taught a lesson, he does not know what he will do in the future!
Liang Sheng should be right away.
"Is there any difficulty?" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help asking.
Liang Sheng's face was calm and indifferent, "Please wait for the good news, my lady."
Xiao Yuzhuo returned the salute with a smile, having such a big shopkeeper is simply too worry-free!
No matter how difficult or easy it is, once you explain it like this, you don't have to worry about anything, and the big shopkeeper will take care of everything.
When I believed in Liang Sheng back then, I really found a treasure.
Xiao Yuzhuo asked Zhuxiang to send Liangsheng out.
I heard that the old lady ordered Xiao Yuzhuo to go to Weirui Courtyard.
Zhu Xiang didn't dare to leave Xiao Yuzhuo's side, "Is it time to settle the matter of going to Prince Wu's mansion now? The maidservant should follow the lady? If you really want to do something..."
"If you really want to do something, I can't do it with the old lady, right? If a granddaughter dares to touch my grandmother, then I really can't stay in Chang'an!" Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head.
Hearing this, Liang Sheng cupped his hands, "Don't worry, lady, this place is very close to the outer courtyard. The villain knows the way, and he can go out by turning his face. You don't have to bother Miss Zhuxiang to see you off."
He bowed his hands and left the flower hall.
You can walk to the outer courtyard in a few steps.
There are quite a lot of outsiders from the Xiao family who come and go to the outer courtyard every day, so it is not uncommon to have one more Liang Sheng.
Seeing that he was walking fast, Xiao Yuzhuo didn't ask Zhuxiang to chase after him, and led them to the Weirui courtyard.
Liang Sheng's road to the outer courtyard was very short, but the corridor was built with twists and turns for the sake of beauty and to add a bit of artistic conception.
He walked quickly along the corridor, not guarding that someone outside the corridor was staring at him.
"That... Lord, who is it?" Eighteen Niang pointed to Liang Sheng from afar and asked the servant girl.
The servant girl shook her head again and again, "I've never seen it before, isn't it the shopkeeper of our house?"
Shiba Niang's eyes followed Liang Sheng's figure for a moment.
In the eyes of the little girl who was about to grow up, there was a look of obsession.
Liang Sheng was the head of the Songzhu Pavilion at the beginning, needless to say he had a dignified and elegant posture.
Moreover, he himself is also a person who attaches great importance to grooming his appearance. He wears a moon-white wide-sleeved long gown, and the sleeves of his clothes are dangling as he walks.
Eighteen Niang grew up in a deep boudoir and was raised by her aunt. Naturally, it is impossible for the eldest lady to take her out to meet people often.
The men I met were just my brothers.
The men from the Xiao family are also good-looking, but they are not as handsome as Liang Sheng.
Eighteen Niang couldn't help being crazy about it.
Even Liang Sheng turned out the door of the inner courtyard, but his figure was gone. She was still looking at the direction Liang Sheng left, unable to return to her senses.
"My lady? My lady?" The servant girl gently pushed her arm.
She came back to her senses in astonishment, "What did you say?"
The servant girl quickly lowered her head, "The servant girl said, that person may not be the treasurer of the house."
"Oh, that gentleman has a high and clean demeanor, how could he be a little shopkeeper? You go and find out who he is, he is not the shopkeeper, why did he appear here, and it is not the mother who saw the shopkeeper today. How about your day?" Eighteen Niang asked.
The little maid hurriedly nodded her head in response, but she couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "My lady, it's time to say kiss after you get old..."
Shiba Niang didn't know what to think of, and immediately blushed, "Bah, you little hoof, can you say that?"
She said shyly and angrily.
The servant girl reminded in a softer voice, "I think the eldest lady is already helping you to meet each other, and you can't decide this matter yourself!"
Eighteen Niang's eyes darkened, "If you ask you to inquire, then go and inquire. How do you know that I have other intentions? How dare you even guess the master's intentions?"
The servant girl hurriedly said that she didn't dare, she bowed and hurriedly retreated to inquire.
Xiao Yuzhuo went to Weirui Courtyard.
The eldest lady was sitting on the seat next to the old lady, holding a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
When Xiao Yuzhuo saw her acting, he was amused, and a smile appeared on his face, "What's the matter, uncle? Didn't she see me and think of Sixteen Niang again?"
Originally, she couldn't bear to mention Liu Niang in front of the eldest lady, and she felt sorry for her as a mother who missed her daughter and suffered heartbreaking pain.
But Da Furen provoked her again and again, without reason at all, so it shows that she is not so heartbroken, and she still wants to find other people's unhappiness!
"You, you act like this, how can you remind me of Xiaoliu. Although she is more willful and mischievous, she is also a person of courtesy and filial piety! She dare not be like the princess, even dare to beat her own mother-in-law!" The eldest lady complained.
The old lady frowned and looked at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Did you hit Nanny Rong?"
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled lightly, "It's not good for auntie to frame people like this. When did I hit Nanny Rong? It's just some old servants who don't have eyesight, blocking my way to visit the King of Wu, so I asked the guards to please." They got out of the way. Aunt Rong stood there, but no one touched her with a finger."
"Nurse Rong was originally a nurturing mother. When she was in the palace, she even taught the rules of the empress and princess. How can she not teach the princess? The princess actually refuted her and fought with the people she brought. She fainted from anger!" the eldest lady said sharply.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the old lady in a daze, and then turned to look at Juxiang, "Is the nunnery's health so bad already? Just say a few reasonable words, ask someone to make way, and then I'll let you go." Could it make her faint? Is my Xiao family too poor to hire a young and strong nurturing nanny? Since Nanny Rong is getting old and in poor health, the Xiao family can't just squeeze it out. She, after picking her up, is willing to take care of her until the end of her life. If she can’t teach the little lady, I’ll send her to Zhuangzi to take care of her for the rest of her life! Don’t make the old man worry about you all the time!”
"You..." The eldest lady was almost offended by her voice, saying that she had no manners, who said that Nanny Rong is old and useless?
"Grandma is also getting old. At the beginning, grandma handed over the family affairs to her aunt, hoping that her aunt would be able to take care of herself and share her worries. Now my grandmother is dedicated to worshiping Buddha, resting and recuperating, and doing good deeds with as little desire as possible. My aunt Always bothering grandma for trivial matters, if uncle finds out, I don’t know if he will blame uncle for being unfilial!” Xiao Yuzhuo turned around and poured dirty water on the eldest lady with a smile on her face.
The eldest lady was so angry that she almost couldn't come up, "Am I not filial? If I didn't think about the reputation of the Xiao family, what the princess loves, it will turn the world upside down, who can care about you? The princess just came When you come back from the outside, you know what kind of reputation you had when you left Chang'an. Now the rumors have only stopped for a few days? You just ignore it... and dragged the entire Xiao family to accompany you in Chang'an The city is ashamed, who is unfilial?"
Xiao Yuzhuo stared at the eldest lady, then at the old lady.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Originally, each other's words were fierce, and the atmosphere was tense and stagnant.
She shut up now, letting the atmosphere condense, and the room became more stagnant.
After a while, when the old lady was about to speak.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly asked, "What did I do that is impolite?"
The eldest madam laughed out loud, "You attacked your own family, you beat the servants of the Xiao family, and you fainted the foster mother..."
"It's not that I want to leave the house, they deliberately obstruct it." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
"Speaking of going out of the house!" The lady cleared her throat, as if she was about to make a big move, "The princess is now waiting to get married at home, and she should hide in her boudoir and not meet people. But the princess is not only going out of the house, but also going Meet His Royal Highness King Wu who is going to marry! I really don’t know how to be ashamed!”
The elder, especially the aunt, said that the younger generation is shameless, which is a bit too much.
The eldest princess is mainly here, so she probably needs to beat her sister-in-law with a whip.
Xiao Yuzhuo secretly pinched herself, and she struck so hard that her eye circles immediately turned red from the pain.
There were tears in his eyes, and Xiao Yuzhuo, who was flamboyant and domineering just now, had tears in his eyes for a moment, and his voice was sad, "Who is His Highness King Wu? He is my son's father! He lost a lot of blood, was seriously injured and unconscious... Should I go and see if he is ?Privately speaking, he is also my dearest relative! Publicly speaking, he is fighting for the court and to protect the peace of us! Shouldn't I go and see him?
If it weren't for him, would the former prince have already invaded Chang'an?Are we still allowed to sit here, drinking tea, eating snacks, pointing at our family members' noses and swearing at nothing?I went to see what happened to him?Even the Holy Majesty allowed me to watch him, but my aunt didn't allow it. Does my aunt think that the Holy Majesty did something wrong? "
The eldest lady was caught off such a big hat unexpectedly.
She looked at Xiao Yuzhuo in a daze.
This is not the previous Princess Shouchang!The tempering outside did not smooth the edges and corners of her body.
Instead, it sharpened her edges and corners, like a sharp sword!
Who would dare to provoke her in the future?This is eloquent!Pretending to be pitiful is so similar!
Da furen blushed, but she could only scream in her heart.
The old lady coughed softly, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell your aunt well? Is it worth fighting with the family?"
"The granddaughter is in a hurry, after all, her life is at stake." Xiao Yuzhuo said with downcast eyes.
"But you still have to change your impulsive temperament. You should be fined to think about your mistakes behind closed doors. You are just at home, and you should also practice your needlework." The old lady said.
Xiao Yuzhuo hooked the corners of her lips, showing off her needlework, why didn't she remember that the original princess had learned it?
"Old lady, His Royal Highness King Wu is not in good health yet. He is both King Wu and a general, holding the Habayashi Army and the Shenwu Army in his hands... His Majesty wants him to worry about a lot of things. Go visit him." Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, "But since grandma wants to restrain my feet, then I won't go."
The lady's fingers clenched tightly in her sleeves, and she used Jing Yannian's identity to suppress others!
Now that he is injured, he doesn't know what will happen in the future!show off!
The old lady is more far-sighted than the eldest lady, "Don't worry too much about Eleven Niang. Tomorrow, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift. I will go to Wu Wangfu to inquire about the situation, and I will tell Eleven Niang when I come back. You can rest assured."
In this way, the old lady took another step back, right?
The eldest lady's face was ugly.
Originally, she thought that no matter what today, Xiao Yuzhuo could be beaten by the old lady!Suffer some flesh and blood, lest she be so arrogant in the future!
Unexpectedly, the old lady gave in again and again, and the confinement was originally to pick it up high and put it down gently!
Now comfort her heart!
The old lady rubbed her forehead, and was about to tell everyone to step back and let her rest.
But Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the lady's stiff and ugly face and said, "By the way, when my aunt says that people are rude in the future, she'd better think about Liu Niang back then. Still leaning against the wall..."
"Shut up!" The Da Furen jumped up from the couch, her eyes were about to split, she raised her finger to Xiao Yuzhuo's nose and said, "Liu Niang now...she is already in front of the Buddha with the blue lantern, Don't ruin her reputation!"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, raised his hand and pushed away the lady's fingers, "I don't want to mention it either, but why is there someone pressing me hard?"
The eldest lady stared at her with a choked expression.
"Grandma, take a good rest. Don't bother yourself with trivial things that are not worth mentioning. When your children and grandchildren grow up, you will have your own blessings." Xiao Yuzhuo blessed her body.
The old lady raised her hand and told her to back out.
With red eyes, the eldest lady stood in front of the old lady with her hands down.
The old lady sighed, "If you feel that you can't do it alone and have too many things to do, ask your second and third wives to help you..."
The old lady didn't finish her sentence, but the old lady was startled.
Is it because of the matter of the princess, she has been unable to cope with it again and again, and the old lady has been disappointed?
She didn't dare to pretend to be pitiful any more, and immediately put away the grievance on her face, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law is not tired, but I just think that she is the princess, and her mother is the eldest princess, so I am afraid..."
"If you are really afraid, you won't be like this." The old lady looked at the eldest lady with sharp eyes.
The lady was a little ashamed.
"Family and everything are prosperous, don't get the wrong direction, although I don't like Eleven Niang's temperament, but..." The old lady paused, "Don't you think that after she came back from Wancheng, she is different from before Is it?"
The eldest lady was a little dazed, as if she didn't understand what the old lady meant.
It's different, she knows, it's even more annoying than before.
In the past, she was just arrogant and domineering. If she wanted to deal with her, she would have a lot of braids, and she could be pinched easily.
Now it's... domineering and righteous?
"Keep an eye on it, don't make rash judgments, I'm old, how long can I mention you?" The old lady sighed, waved her hand, and asked the eldest lady to also retreat.
……
The eldest lady returned to her courtyard, still thinking about what kind of attitude the old lady had towards Xiao Yuzhuo.
When Xiao Yuzhuo came back on the first day, what the old lady said was obviously very dissatisfied with her.
But after these few days, the old lady seemed to be a little polite to her?
The eldest lady frowned, wanting to discuss with someone.
But at this moment, Shiba Niang is not by her side, Shiba Niang is thinking about her own affairs.
"You said he met the princess? The princess met a foreigner in private? Or was it an open private meeting?" Shiba Niang asked.
The servant girl glanced at her, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head.
It is said that it is aboveboard, how can it be called a private meeting?
Isn't it normal for a married woman to have some property outside?The eldest lady will meet the shopkeepers outside in a few months!
"I heard that the princess opened a small restaurant in Wancheng, maybe that person is the owner of the restaurant..."
"Impossible!" Before the servant girl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Shi Ba Niang, "How could he be just a shopkeeper of a restaurant?"
"Will the lady tell the eldest lady about this? Isn't the eldest lady just trying to catch the fault of the princess? No matter who he is, the princess is always right when he sees him." The servant girl whispered.
Shiba Niang shook her head, "Let's not talk about it."
The servant girl looked at her wife suspiciously, "Why?"
Eighteen Niang had a shy and yearning smile on her face.
Since he came to see the princess, as long as this matter is not exposed, the princess thinks that she will do this and no one will interfere.
Then I will definitely see Mr. Na in this way in the future.
When Lang Jun comes to the house in the future, won't she be able to see him again?
Eighteen Niang just thought about it like this, and her whole face turned red.
After falling asleep at night.
Eighteen Niang also saw that she ran into the gentleman in the corridor.
Lang Jun bowed his hands to her and saluted her. Seeing her appearance, he fell in love with her at first sight, and followed her step by step.
She only felt her heart beating rumblingly, and she walked forward quickly.
That Langjun chased after him, saying, "Little lady, wait for Xiaosheng..."
His eyes are clear and his voice is even more pleasant.
Eighteen Niang got into a peach tree somehow as she walked.The man also chased into the peach forest, but there was no one around, the man suddenly quickened his pace, grabbed her wrist, and pressed her against the thick peach tree.
His eyebrows and eyes are so good-looking, like a fairy in a painting.
He looked at her obsessively, and then he moved closer to her lips...
His lips were slightly cool, with a refreshing light fragrance...
"Lady!" a voice called out.
Called Shiba Niang back to her boudoir from the peach grove.
She opened her eyes and only saw the primrose-colored tent, where is the hazy and beautiful peach grove, and where is the fairy husband in the painting?
Eighteen Niang looked at the servant girl angrily, "What's the name of the ghost!" She actually interrupted such a beautiful dream of hers!
"It's five o'clock, it's time to greet the eldest lady." The servant girl said timidly.
Eighteen Niang snorted heavily, but got up from the bed without slack.
……
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't know that his shopkeeper was being missed by others.
She told Zhuxiang to keep an eye on the fighting outside.
The Tongmenghui was well-informed, King Ji encountered the former prince's soldiers several times, Xiao Yuzhuo got the news, even faster than the court's battle report.
Now Jing Yannian is seriously injured and bedridden, and King Li Tai of Yue is imprisoned in the palace by the sage again.
Only King Ji led the troops.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate his prestige in the army.
The last time Zhaoling was besieged, he couldn't mobilize the Shenwu army, but Jing Yannian was able to lead the Shenwu army to rescue the Holy One, which filled him with a sense of crisis.
Jing Yannian can be loyal to the Holy Majesty now, but if his father passes on the throne to him in the future, will Jing Yannian still be as loyal to him as he was finally to the Holy Majesty?
He had to plan ahead and cultivate his own strength.
Since ancient times, emperors have never tolerated forces beyond their control.
King Ji talked about the past and the present in the court hall, and he was able to talk eloquently by citing scriptures and classics.
But the leader of the army, he is not the opponent of the first prince.After several encounters, he was defeated and retreated.
If it weren't for the fact that the court soldiers and horses were more advanced than the government soldiers, he would have been defeated long ago.
King Ji also complained that King Yue's troops were disobedient... Never thought that the grain and grass delivered to him by the court would be robbed suddenly...
King Ji was shocked and asked someone to borrow it nearby.
But the grain and grass from the granary of the nearby county government is not enough for the army to feed for two days!
He also forced nearby big merchants to deliver food.
Unexpectedly, after searching the house of the big merchant, they did not find enough food to feed the army!
Also because he ordered privately to search merchants.
The merchants jointly sued the court, saying that King Ji disregarded the people's livelihood and searched for the people's fat and anointment!
The Minister of Censors saw the right moment, and immediately said to the Holy Master, "Water can carry a boat and overturn it. At the critical moment when the two armies are confronting each other, the rebel army did not wantonly disturb the people, did not burn, kill and loot, just to incite people's hearts." At such a time, His Royal Highness Ji Wang actually searched for people's fat and people's anointing, causing people's resentment to boil, wouldn't it be fueling the prestige of the abolished prince!"
The call for His Majesty the King of Yue to come out and lead the troops is getting louder and louder.
His Royal Highness the King of Yue was in the palace and could not see the face of the Holy Majesty, but he also wrote a letter expressing his willingness to fight for his father and wipe out Li Ke's rebel army.
King Ji is not in Chang'an at the moment, but he must be able to hear news about Chang'an.
Successive defeats, coupled with the looting of food and grass, made him lose face in front of the holy majesty, and was even more controversial among the courtiers.
The call for King Yue to come out to lead the army could hardly be suppressed.
Ji Wang must feel the pressure.
"I heard that King Ji has issued a military order!" Zhu Xiang brought the news from outside and said.
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What military order?"
Now that Xiao Yuzhuo is confined at home by the old lady, she really doesn't leave the house, but this doesn't affect her inquiring about the news outside.
"King Ji wrote a letter, if he can't defeat the first prince, he is willing to cut off his prince." Zhu Xiang whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
Mei Xiang whispered from the side, "God! Is he fighting for it?"
"How could he have such confidence after successive defeats?" Xiao Yuzhuohu asked in question.
"Maybe he is afraid that the Holy Majesty will really ask the King of Yue to come out? After all, General Jing is unlikely to be bedridden due to injury, and if General Jing recovers and leads the army again, he will definitely be more guarded against him! It is the previous sneak attack. , He has an excuse to explain, but once he loses power, it will be difficult for him to think about it again." Zhuxiang said.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "So, he can only win now, not lose. If he loses, he will not only offend Jing Yannian, but also give the opportunity to the King of Yue for nothing. The King of Yue hates him very much because he took away the soldiers and horses of the King of Yue he."
Zhuxiang nodded repeatedly.
Mei Xiang bit her fingertips, "Is that so suspicious?"
"What's suspicious?" Zhuxiang asked.
"It's true that he wants to win, but winning or losing can't be determined by a military order?" Mei Xiang tilted her head and said.
Zhuxiang smiled, "You don't understand! Military orders are not issued casually. A military order encourages the determination of soldiers and the morale of thousands of soldiers! He is several times stronger than the previous prince, and if his morale is high, he will naturally win!"
Mei Xiang tilted her head, with suspicion still on her face, "I always think that King Ji is not someone who has nothing to do and will easily issue military orders."
(End of this chapter)
The eldest lady pointed at Mei Xiang, but didn't say a word for a long time.
Mei Xiang knelt weakly, with an innocent look on her face.
The truth is that she treats servants harshly.
"Get lost!" The eldest lady took a long time to speak, "I'm too lazy to care about her, and her maid also disappeared from my sight!"
Mei Xiangsi retreated gracefully.
Xiao Yuzhuo went back to wash up, hugged Xiao Chongwu who was about to fall asleep in a daze, and when Xiao Chongwu closed his eyes and snored lightly, she handed Chongwu to the nanny.
I also quickly lay down, the ups and downs of the mood this day, it is really tossing people.
She had to brace herself for the situations that came her way.
Xiao Yuzhuo guessed right.
The next day she just greeted the eldest princess and sent Chongwu and Changkang to the eldest princess to play.
Then I heard from Zhuxiang that there will be news from the alliance.
"The person who sent the letter said that the news should be told to the lady face to face, so it's not good to lie to others." Zhu Xiang reported.
Xiao Yuzhuo narrowed his eyes, "So cautious, could it be that something unexpected has been found out?"
"It's about the battle between General Jing and the former crown prince. Madam, do you want to intervene in person?" Zhuxiang asked.
"Where is the person who sent the news?"
"Go back to my lady, I'm waiting outside Xiao's house, waiting for my lady to summon me."
"Isn't there a flower hall between the inner and outer courtyards? My aunt always meets the shopkeepers outside there every few months?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Mei Xiang nodded repeatedly, she had paid attention to this matter, "The flower hall is reserved for the lady in charge of the inner courtyard to meet outsiders, it is very convenient, and it is not used by the eldest lady."
"Then I will use it." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
Mei Xiang helped her go.
Zhuxiang went outside to lead people in.
Xiao Yuzhuo was greatly surprised to see the person who sent the message.
"It's just a message, how can shopkeeper Liang come here in person?" Xiao Yuzhuo was surprised, it was Liang Sheng who came.
How can he say that he is also the president of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce now, who can he send for such a trivial matter?
However, Liang Sheng's face was full of humility, "There is nothing trivial about what the lady told you."
These words can't help but make people moved.
"Shopkeeper Liang, you are being polite." Xiao Yuzhuo returned the courtesy.
Liang Sheng hurriedly cupped his hands, "And this matter is indeed not small. General Jing encountered the former prince's soldiers and horses. Although the former prince's soldiers and horses were numerous, the military preparations of the government soldiers have always been inferior to the Shenwu Army and the Yulin Army. The soldiers led by General Jing himself Horses are even better at fighting one against ten or one against a hundred, General Jing shouldn't have been injured so badly."
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart froze.
"Shopkeeper Liang also met General Jing?" Mei Xiang asked in surprise.
Liang Sheng took a look at Xiao Yuzhuo, lowered his head and said, "Yes, the villain also walked along for a while."
There was a look of surprise on Mei Xiang's face.
He never talked about Liang Sheng's friendship with his wife, but those who followed her could see it.
Even though he knew that Liang Sheng would never take advantage of others' dangers to harm General Jing, he was able to personally rescue Jing Yannian, and even escorted him for a while... It's really surprising.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes were slightly fixed, but he didn't make a sound.
"The villain was very surprised when he learned about the situation. In addition, the lady ordered to investigate the matter, so the villain went to investigate it himself. After several inquiries, he finally found something!" Liang Sheng looked around.
There are no outsiders in the flower hall.
The people Liang Sheng brought and Zhu Xiang stood guard at the entrance of the flower hall.
The two of them practice martial arts, their hearing and eyes are sharp, and their six senses are keen, which can prevent those who want to come close to eavesdrop.
Liang Sheng lowered his voice and said: "After General Jing encountered the first prince, because of the disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, General Jing ordered people to ask for the support of the court soldiers and horses, intending to capture the first prince alive. The closest one is the army led by King Ji. King Ji They also dispatched soldiers and horses as soon as they received the news. It's just..."
Xiao Yuzhuo felt a chill in her heart, she probably already guessed what it was...
"It's just that I never thought that King Ji's soldiers did not join forces with General Jing to encircle and suppress the late prince. Instead, they attacked from behind General Jing. General Jing was attacked from the back, let alone guarding against the imperial court's soldiers and horses joining forces to attack the late prince. General Jing was seriously injured in order to lead the army to break through." Liang Sheng said briefly.
But Xiao Yuzhuo seemed to have seen how he fought the enemy bravely among the gold and iron horses, and found out that he was betrayed, and the moment he was attacked by the enemy, he did not know what kind of pain and despair he experienced in his heart...
But even so, he was not discouraged, but instead personally served as the vanguard and led the army to break through.
"The villain really admires the general's perseverance and courage. After breaking through, General Jing asked his lieutenant to lead the troops, but he left behind... so the general was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood." Liang Sheng said in a low voice. .
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips, "Prince Ji..."
It is understandable that Prince Ji wants to be an emperor. Probably every promising prince he raises has a heart to strive to be an emperor.
But the means of the emperor can't be so insidious and narrow!
Jing Yannian is attacking the former prince!No matter how you say it, King Ji is also in the same camp.
King Ji had a very good relationship with him before, but before he saw that he was highly valued by the sage and was given the title of king with a different surname, he tried to win over Jing Yannian, but now he is doing well, afraid that Jing Yannian's great achievements will become his hindrance, Don't hesitate to turn around and frame revenge like this!
At the beginning, I saw that Ji Wang was a gentleman, but I really missed him!
"King Ji has a very good reputation among the ministers and literati, so it is hard to believe such news when the villain investigates. But after several investigations, he is sure." Liang Sheng sighed, "Maybe the rights will really come true. Changing a person's mind, Ji Wang was not such a person."
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
I still remember the Ji Wang who played chess with Xiao Shiwuniang in Mingjue Temple.
Under the trees by the river, there is rich green shade, green bricks on the floor, white marble stone tables and benches, and a chessboard. He sits opposite the chessboard, and the sunlight shines on his body through the gaps in the leaves.
He was holding the chess pieces, staring at the chessboard with such focused eyes... he really is a young master like jade.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who would be so unscrupulous for personal gain.
Power is really a demon that corrupts people's hearts.
"Now King Yue's soldiers and horses are all in the hands of King Ji, and Xiu Yuan is seriously injured at home, so don't most of the soldiers and horses fall into the hands of King Ji?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked in a deep voice.
Liang Sheng nodded, "It looks like this on the surface, but among the soldiers and horses of the King of Yue, there are also the confidantes of the King of Yue. They are not completely obeying the orders of the King Ji, and the King Ji is trying to evade their authority. Although General Jing is injured, Habayashi The army is the Holy One's own soldiers and will not obey King Ji's orders. The Holy One will not hand over the Habayashi Army to King Ji either. He only allocated part of the Shenwu Army for King Ji to dispatch."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "So, now the main force against the former prince is only King Ji."
Liang Sheng nodded.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "He is so insidious and despicable, so we can't blame others for being too cruel to him."
"What is the lady going to do?" Liang Sheng asked, clasping his hands, clearly hearing that she intended to target King Ji, but he didn't hesitate when he asked.
"Transfer all the food and grass from the merchants near his soldiers and horses to other places, don't give him a chance. Then quietly... invite the masters of the rivers and lakes to pretend to be the former prince's men and horses, and intercept his food and grass. Take away what you can take away, but not Go and burn it." Xiao Yuzhuo's face was cold, and there was a little anger in his words.
A woman is kind, but there is no womanly kindness on her face at the moment.
King Ji acted like this, if he is not taught a lesson, he does not know what he will do in the future!
Liang Sheng should be right away.
"Is there any difficulty?" Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help asking.
Liang Sheng's face was calm and indifferent, "Please wait for the good news, my lady."
Xiao Yuzhuo returned the salute with a smile, having such a big shopkeeper is simply too worry-free!
No matter how difficult or easy it is, once you explain it like this, you don't have to worry about anything, and the big shopkeeper will take care of everything.
When I believed in Liang Sheng back then, I really found a treasure.
Xiao Yuzhuo asked Zhuxiang to send Liangsheng out.
I heard that the old lady ordered Xiao Yuzhuo to go to Weirui Courtyard.
Zhu Xiang didn't dare to leave Xiao Yuzhuo's side, "Is it time to settle the matter of going to Prince Wu's mansion now? The maidservant should follow the lady? If you really want to do something..."
"If you really want to do something, I can't do it with the old lady, right? If a granddaughter dares to touch my grandmother, then I really can't stay in Chang'an!" Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head.
Hearing this, Liang Sheng cupped his hands, "Don't worry, lady, this place is very close to the outer courtyard. The villain knows the way, and he can go out by turning his face. You don't have to bother Miss Zhuxiang to see you off."
He bowed his hands and left the flower hall.
You can walk to the outer courtyard in a few steps.
There are quite a lot of outsiders from the Xiao family who come and go to the outer courtyard every day, so it is not uncommon to have one more Liang Sheng.
Seeing that he was walking fast, Xiao Yuzhuo didn't ask Zhuxiang to chase after him, and led them to the Weirui courtyard.
Liang Sheng's road to the outer courtyard was very short, but the corridor was built with twists and turns for the sake of beauty and to add a bit of artistic conception.
He walked quickly along the corridor, not guarding that someone outside the corridor was staring at him.
"That... Lord, who is it?" Eighteen Niang pointed to Liang Sheng from afar and asked the servant girl.
The servant girl shook her head again and again, "I've never seen it before, isn't it the shopkeeper of our house?"
Shiba Niang's eyes followed Liang Sheng's figure for a moment.
In the eyes of the little girl who was about to grow up, there was a look of obsession.
Liang Sheng was the head of the Songzhu Pavilion at the beginning, needless to say he had a dignified and elegant posture.
Moreover, he himself is also a person who attaches great importance to grooming his appearance. He wears a moon-white wide-sleeved long gown, and the sleeves of his clothes are dangling as he walks.
Eighteen Niang grew up in a deep boudoir and was raised by her aunt. Naturally, it is impossible for the eldest lady to take her out to meet people often.
The men I met were just my brothers.
The men from the Xiao family are also good-looking, but they are not as handsome as Liang Sheng.
Eighteen Niang couldn't help being crazy about it.
Even Liang Sheng turned out the door of the inner courtyard, but his figure was gone. She was still looking at the direction Liang Sheng left, unable to return to her senses.
"My lady? My lady?" The servant girl gently pushed her arm.
She came back to her senses in astonishment, "What did you say?"
The servant girl quickly lowered her head, "The servant girl said, that person may not be the treasurer of the house."
"Oh, that gentleman has a high and clean demeanor, how could he be a little shopkeeper? You go and find out who he is, he is not the shopkeeper, why did he appear here, and it is not the mother who saw the shopkeeper today. How about your day?" Eighteen Niang asked.
The little maid hurriedly nodded her head in response, but she couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "My lady, it's time to say kiss after you get old..."
Shiba Niang didn't know what to think of, and immediately blushed, "Bah, you little hoof, can you say that?"
She said shyly and angrily.
The servant girl reminded in a softer voice, "I think the eldest lady is already helping you to meet each other, and you can't decide this matter yourself!"
Eighteen Niang's eyes darkened, "If you ask you to inquire, then go and inquire. How do you know that I have other intentions? How dare you even guess the master's intentions?"
The servant girl hurriedly said that she didn't dare, she bowed and hurriedly retreated to inquire.
Xiao Yuzhuo went to Weirui Courtyard.
The eldest lady was sitting on the seat next to the old lady, holding a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
When Xiao Yuzhuo saw her acting, he was amused, and a smile appeared on his face, "What's the matter, uncle? Didn't she see me and think of Sixteen Niang again?"
Originally, she couldn't bear to mention Liu Niang in front of the eldest lady, and she felt sorry for her as a mother who missed her daughter and suffered heartbreaking pain.
But Da Furen provoked her again and again, without reason at all, so it shows that she is not so heartbroken, and she still wants to find other people's unhappiness!
"You, you act like this, how can you remind me of Xiaoliu. Although she is more willful and mischievous, she is also a person of courtesy and filial piety! She dare not be like the princess, even dare to beat her own mother-in-law!" The eldest lady complained.
The old lady frowned and looked at Xiao Yuzhuo, "Did you hit Nanny Rong?"
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled lightly, "It's not good for auntie to frame people like this. When did I hit Nanny Rong? It's just some old servants who don't have eyesight, blocking my way to visit the King of Wu, so I asked the guards to please." They got out of the way. Aunt Rong stood there, but no one touched her with a finger."
"Nurse Rong was originally a nurturing mother. When she was in the palace, she even taught the rules of the empress and princess. How can she not teach the princess? The princess actually refuted her and fought with the people she brought. She fainted from anger!" the eldest lady said sharply.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the old lady in a daze, and then turned to look at Juxiang, "Is the nunnery's health so bad already? Just say a few reasonable words, ask someone to make way, and then I'll let you go." Could it make her faint? Is my Xiao family too poor to hire a young and strong nurturing nanny? Since Nanny Rong is getting old and in poor health, the Xiao family can't just squeeze it out. She, after picking her up, is willing to take care of her until the end of her life. If she can’t teach the little lady, I’ll send her to Zhuangzi to take care of her for the rest of her life! Don’t make the old man worry about you all the time!”
"You..." The eldest lady was almost offended by her voice, saying that she had no manners, who said that Nanny Rong is old and useless?
"Grandma is also getting old. At the beginning, grandma handed over the family affairs to her aunt, hoping that her aunt would be able to take care of herself and share her worries. Now my grandmother is dedicated to worshiping Buddha, resting and recuperating, and doing good deeds with as little desire as possible. My aunt Always bothering grandma for trivial matters, if uncle finds out, I don’t know if he will blame uncle for being unfilial!” Xiao Yuzhuo turned around and poured dirty water on the eldest lady with a smile on her face.
The eldest lady was so angry that she almost couldn't come up, "Am I not filial? If I didn't think about the reputation of the Xiao family, what the princess loves, it will turn the world upside down, who can care about you? The princess just came When you come back from the outside, you know what kind of reputation you had when you left Chang'an. Now the rumors have only stopped for a few days? You just ignore it... and dragged the entire Xiao family to accompany you in Chang'an The city is ashamed, who is unfilial?"
Xiao Yuzhuo stared at the eldest lady, then at the old lady.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
Originally, each other's words were fierce, and the atmosphere was tense and stagnant.
She shut up now, letting the atmosphere condense, and the room became more stagnant.
After a while, when the old lady was about to speak.
Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly asked, "What did I do that is impolite?"
The eldest madam laughed out loud, "You attacked your own family, you beat the servants of the Xiao family, and you fainted the foster mother..."
"It's not that I want to leave the house, they deliberately obstruct it." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
"Speaking of going out of the house!" The lady cleared her throat, as if she was about to make a big move, "The princess is now waiting to get married at home, and she should hide in her boudoir and not meet people. But the princess is not only going out of the house, but also going Meet His Royal Highness King Wu who is going to marry! I really don’t know how to be ashamed!”
The elder, especially the aunt, said that the younger generation is shameless, which is a bit too much.
The eldest princess is mainly here, so she probably needs to beat her sister-in-law with a whip.
Xiao Yuzhuo secretly pinched herself, and she struck so hard that her eye circles immediately turned red from the pain.
There were tears in his eyes, and Xiao Yuzhuo, who was flamboyant and domineering just now, had tears in his eyes for a moment, and his voice was sad, "Who is His Highness King Wu? He is my son's father! He lost a lot of blood, was seriously injured and unconscious... Should I go and see if he is ?Privately speaking, he is also my dearest relative! Publicly speaking, he is fighting for the court and to protect the peace of us! Shouldn't I go and see him?
If it weren't for him, would the former prince have already invaded Chang'an?Are we still allowed to sit here, drinking tea, eating snacks, pointing at our family members' noses and swearing at nothing?I went to see what happened to him?Even the Holy Majesty allowed me to watch him, but my aunt didn't allow it. Does my aunt think that the Holy Majesty did something wrong? "
The eldest lady was caught off such a big hat unexpectedly.
She looked at Xiao Yuzhuo in a daze.
This is not the previous Princess Shouchang!The tempering outside did not smooth the edges and corners of her body.
Instead, it sharpened her edges and corners, like a sharp sword!
Who would dare to provoke her in the future?This is eloquent!Pretending to be pitiful is so similar!
Da furen blushed, but she could only scream in her heart.
The old lady coughed softly, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell your aunt well? Is it worth fighting with the family?"
"The granddaughter is in a hurry, after all, her life is at stake." Xiao Yuzhuo said with downcast eyes.
"But you still have to change your impulsive temperament. You should be fined to think about your mistakes behind closed doors. You are just at home, and you should also practice your needlework." The old lady said.
Xiao Yuzhuo hooked the corners of her lips, showing off her needlework, why didn't she remember that the original princess had learned it?
"Old lady, His Royal Highness King Wu is not in good health yet. He is both King Wu and a general, holding the Habayashi Army and the Shenwu Army in his hands... His Majesty wants him to worry about a lot of things. Go visit him." Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, "But since grandma wants to restrain my feet, then I won't go."
The lady's fingers clenched tightly in her sleeves, and she used Jing Yannian's identity to suppress others!
Now that he is injured, he doesn't know what will happen in the future!show off!
The old lady is more far-sighted than the eldest lady, "Don't worry too much about Eleven Niang. Tomorrow, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare a generous gift. I will go to Wu Wangfu to inquire about the situation, and I will tell Eleven Niang when I come back. You can rest assured."
In this way, the old lady took another step back, right?
The eldest lady's face was ugly.
Originally, she thought that no matter what today, Xiao Yuzhuo could be beaten by the old lady!Suffer some flesh and blood, lest she be so arrogant in the future!
Unexpectedly, the old lady gave in again and again, and the confinement was originally to pick it up high and put it down gently!
Now comfort her heart!
The old lady rubbed her forehead, and was about to tell everyone to step back and let her rest.
But Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the lady's stiff and ugly face and said, "By the way, when my aunt says that people are rude in the future, she'd better think about Liu Niang back then. Still leaning against the wall..."
"Shut up!" The Da Furen jumped up from the couch, her eyes were about to split, she raised her finger to Xiao Yuzhuo's nose and said, "Liu Niang now...she is already in front of the Buddha with the blue lantern, Don't ruin her reputation!"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, raised his hand and pushed away the lady's fingers, "I don't want to mention it either, but why is there someone pressing me hard?"
The eldest lady stared at her with a choked expression.
"Grandma, take a good rest. Don't bother yourself with trivial things that are not worth mentioning. When your children and grandchildren grow up, you will have your own blessings." Xiao Yuzhuo blessed her body.
The old lady raised her hand and told her to back out.
With red eyes, the eldest lady stood in front of the old lady with her hands down.
The old lady sighed, "If you feel that you can't do it alone and have too many things to do, ask your second and third wives to help you..."
The old lady didn't finish her sentence, but the old lady was startled.
Is it because of the matter of the princess, she has been unable to cope with it again and again, and the old lady has been disappointed?
She didn't dare to pretend to be pitiful any more, and immediately put away the grievance on her face, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law is not tired, but I just think that she is the princess, and her mother is the eldest princess, so I am afraid..."
"If you are really afraid, you won't be like this." The old lady looked at the eldest lady with sharp eyes.
The lady was a little ashamed.
"Family and everything are prosperous, don't get the wrong direction, although I don't like Eleven Niang's temperament, but..." The old lady paused, "Don't you think that after she came back from Wancheng, she is different from before Is it?"
The eldest lady was a little dazed, as if she didn't understand what the old lady meant.
It's different, she knows, it's even more annoying than before.
In the past, she was just arrogant and domineering. If she wanted to deal with her, she would have a lot of braids, and she could be pinched easily.
Now it's... domineering and righteous?
"Keep an eye on it, don't make rash judgments, I'm old, how long can I mention you?" The old lady sighed, waved her hand, and asked the eldest lady to also retreat.
……
The eldest lady returned to her courtyard, still thinking about what kind of attitude the old lady had towards Xiao Yuzhuo.
When Xiao Yuzhuo came back on the first day, what the old lady said was obviously very dissatisfied with her.
But after these few days, the old lady seemed to be a little polite to her?
The eldest lady frowned, wanting to discuss with someone.
But at this moment, Shiba Niang is not by her side, Shiba Niang is thinking about her own affairs.
"You said he met the princess? The princess met a foreigner in private? Or was it an open private meeting?" Shiba Niang asked.
The servant girl glanced at her, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head.
It is said that it is aboveboard, how can it be called a private meeting?
Isn't it normal for a married woman to have some property outside?The eldest lady will meet the shopkeepers outside in a few months!
"I heard that the princess opened a small restaurant in Wancheng, maybe that person is the owner of the restaurant..."
"Impossible!" Before the servant girl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Shi Ba Niang, "How could he be just a shopkeeper of a restaurant?"
"Will the lady tell the eldest lady about this? Isn't the eldest lady just trying to catch the fault of the princess? No matter who he is, the princess is always right when he sees him." The servant girl whispered.
Shiba Niang shook her head, "Let's not talk about it."
The servant girl looked at her wife suspiciously, "Why?"
Eighteen Niang had a shy and yearning smile on her face.
Since he came to see the princess, as long as this matter is not exposed, the princess thinks that she will do this and no one will interfere.
Then I will definitely see Mr. Na in this way in the future.
When Lang Jun comes to the house in the future, won't she be able to see him again?
Eighteen Niang just thought about it like this, and her whole face turned red.
After falling asleep at night.
Eighteen Niang also saw that she ran into the gentleman in the corridor.
Lang Jun bowed his hands to her and saluted her. Seeing her appearance, he fell in love with her at first sight, and followed her step by step.
She only felt her heart beating rumblingly, and she walked forward quickly.
That Langjun chased after him, saying, "Little lady, wait for Xiaosheng..."
His eyes are clear and his voice is even more pleasant.
Eighteen Niang got into a peach tree somehow as she walked.The man also chased into the peach forest, but there was no one around, the man suddenly quickened his pace, grabbed her wrist, and pressed her against the thick peach tree.
His eyebrows and eyes are so good-looking, like a fairy in a painting.
He looked at her obsessively, and then he moved closer to her lips...
His lips were slightly cool, with a refreshing light fragrance...
"Lady!" a voice called out.
Called Shiba Niang back to her boudoir from the peach grove.
She opened her eyes and only saw the primrose-colored tent, where is the hazy and beautiful peach grove, and where is the fairy husband in the painting?
Eighteen Niang looked at the servant girl angrily, "What's the name of the ghost!" She actually interrupted such a beautiful dream of hers!
"It's five o'clock, it's time to greet the eldest lady." The servant girl said timidly.
Eighteen Niang snorted heavily, but got up from the bed without slack.
……
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't know that his shopkeeper was being missed by others.
She told Zhuxiang to keep an eye on the fighting outside.
The Tongmenghui was well-informed, King Ji encountered the former prince's soldiers several times, Xiao Yuzhuo got the news, even faster than the court's battle report.
Now Jing Yannian is seriously injured and bedridden, and King Li Tai of Yue is imprisoned in the palace by the sage again.
Only King Ji led the troops.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate his prestige in the army.
The last time Zhaoling was besieged, he couldn't mobilize the Shenwu army, but Jing Yannian was able to lead the Shenwu army to rescue the Holy One, which filled him with a sense of crisis.
Jing Yannian can be loyal to the Holy Majesty now, but if his father passes on the throne to him in the future, will Jing Yannian still be as loyal to him as he was finally to the Holy Majesty?
He had to plan ahead and cultivate his own strength.
Since ancient times, emperors have never tolerated forces beyond their control.
King Ji talked about the past and the present in the court hall, and he was able to talk eloquently by citing scriptures and classics.
But the leader of the army, he is not the opponent of the first prince.After several encounters, he was defeated and retreated.
If it weren't for the fact that the court soldiers and horses were more advanced than the government soldiers, he would have been defeated long ago.
King Ji also complained that King Yue's troops were disobedient... Never thought that the grain and grass delivered to him by the court would be robbed suddenly...
King Ji was shocked and asked someone to borrow it nearby.
But the grain and grass from the granary of the nearby county government is not enough for the army to feed for two days!
He also forced nearby big merchants to deliver food.
Unexpectedly, after searching the house of the big merchant, they did not find enough food to feed the army!
Also because he ordered privately to search merchants.
The merchants jointly sued the court, saying that King Ji disregarded the people's livelihood and searched for the people's fat and anointment!
The Minister of Censors saw the right moment, and immediately said to the Holy Master, "Water can carry a boat and overturn it. At the critical moment when the two armies are confronting each other, the rebel army did not wantonly disturb the people, did not burn, kill and loot, just to incite people's hearts." At such a time, His Royal Highness Ji Wang actually searched for people's fat and people's anointing, causing people's resentment to boil, wouldn't it be fueling the prestige of the abolished prince!"
The call for His Majesty the King of Yue to come out and lead the troops is getting louder and louder.
His Royal Highness the King of Yue was in the palace and could not see the face of the Holy Majesty, but he also wrote a letter expressing his willingness to fight for his father and wipe out Li Ke's rebel army.
King Ji is not in Chang'an at the moment, but he must be able to hear news about Chang'an.
Successive defeats, coupled with the looting of food and grass, made him lose face in front of the holy majesty, and was even more controversial among the courtiers.
The call for King Yue to come out to lead the army could hardly be suppressed.
Ji Wang must feel the pressure.
"I heard that King Ji has issued a military order!" Zhu Xiang brought the news from outside and said.
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What military order?"
Now that Xiao Yuzhuo is confined at home by the old lady, she really doesn't leave the house, but this doesn't affect her inquiring about the news outside.
"King Ji wrote a letter, if he can't defeat the first prince, he is willing to cut off his prince." Zhu Xiang whispered.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
Mei Xiang whispered from the side, "God! Is he fighting for it?"
"How could he have such confidence after successive defeats?" Xiao Yuzhuohu asked in question.
"Maybe he is afraid that the Holy Majesty will really ask the King of Yue to come out? After all, General Jing is unlikely to be bedridden due to injury, and if General Jing recovers and leads the army again, he will definitely be more guarded against him! It is the previous sneak attack. , He has an excuse to explain, but once he loses power, it will be difficult for him to think about it again." Zhuxiang said.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "So, he can only win now, not lose. If he loses, he will not only offend Jing Yannian, but also give the opportunity to the King of Yue for nothing. The King of Yue hates him very much because he took away the soldiers and horses of the King of Yue he."
Zhuxiang nodded repeatedly.
Mei Xiang bit her fingertips, "Is that so suspicious?"
"What's suspicious?" Zhuxiang asked.
"It's true that he wants to win, but winning or losing can't be determined by a military order?" Mei Xiang tilted her head and said.
Zhuxiang smiled, "You don't understand! Military orders are not issued casually. A military order encourages the determination of soldiers and the morale of thousands of soldiers! He is several times stronger than the previous prince, and if his morale is high, he will naturally win!"
Mei Xiang tilted her head, with suspicion still on her face, "I always think that King Ji is not someone who has nothing to do and will easily issue military orders."
