Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 241 Goodbye Huang Chenyan

"Chenyan, long time no see."

Xia Zijin's elegant voice floated from the small boat, drifting into Huang Chenyan's ears.

The boat docked at the sound, and Xia Zijin walked down with the support of Xin'er. She looked at Huang Chenyan under the moonlight. Compared with the previous period, Huang Chenyan's complexion was much better. Presumably, she must also be concerned about the affairs of the world. Only when you see open-mindedly will you have the calm appearance you have now.

Seeing Xia Zijin here, Huang Chenyan was a little surprised, but also a little happy. In Shangjing, she didn't have any boudoir friends. Although Xia Zijin didn't have a deep friendship with her, it was still a rare I am a true friend.

"Princess, what a coincidence, I met you by the lake again!" Huang Chenyan smiled and nodded to Xia Zijin, and turned to Xin'er beside Xia Zijin, as if thinking thoughtfully.

"This is the new girl next to me, named Xin'er, the previous Xiaokui is already married."

Xia Zijin saw her doubts, explained her words, and asked her again, "Is the dust and smoke going well these days? Does the Yanluo girl that the princess called you last time suit your heart?"

The night wind blew past the hem of Huang Chenyan's clothes, wafting a breeze like a light cicada, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"Yanluo is sweet. The eldest son likes her very much. She can do things around her and knows how to behave. It saves me a lot of trouble to have her help me on weekdays. Those women in the backyard of the eldest son also like her." Rarely come to me again to be annoying."

When she said this, she was very flat, and when it came to Lin Runyu's love for Yanluo, there was no slightest disturbance. Xia Zijin knew that it was because Huang Chenyan didn't have Lin Runyu's place in his heart, so she was able to be so open-minded about him, so she also felt at ease. Continue with what she is going to do today.

"This is the best!"

Xia Zijin said with a smile, then put his hand into his sleeve pocket, took out a boxy jade fat exquisite box, and handed it to Huang Chenyan. There is a bright red and beautiful peony flower, and a small poem is written with a very small amount of brushwork, which is very elegant.

"This is the rouge drunk ointment brought to me by Liu's cousin a few days ago. It is very good for smoothing the face. I heard that it was popular in the Western Regions a few days ago. Every ordinary girl likes to use it."

She smiled earnestly, and said again, "I thought I would go to Prince Lin's Mansion to visit you when I left the palace tomorrow, and then I would give you this thing. I happened to meet you today. But the coldness in the night in late winter and early spring is also Not weak, Chen Yan sits quietly by the lake alone, but what is on his mind?"

"It's nothing on my mind, I just heard that the frontier war situation is tense, so I came out to inquire and listen to the situation when I have nothing to do in the palace."

Huang Chenyan said lightly, Su took the rouge ointment that Xia Zijin handed over to her with her hand, thanked her with a smile, then lifted the lid of the ointment again, and lightly touched the back of her hand with her little finger, it was really fragrant , dazzling red.

"Frontier? It's true that the battle situation is very tight recently. I heard a little bit in the palace. It is said that the Xiongnu army hit the outside of Baiyun Pass and set up wooden ladders to attack the city gate for three days and three nights. Baiyun Temple should be in crisis now. , It is not known whether it can be kept.”

Xia Zijin sighed for a long time, then raised his face to look at Huang Chenyan's face, and saw a trace of heartache flashed on Huang Chenyan's face, probably reminding him of Jing Wu who died in battle outside Baiyun Pass General.

When General Jingwu died in battle, the whole country mourned together. Although Huang Chenyan was still young at that time, he still remembered his father's death clearly, and hated the Xiongnu country very much.

Xia Zijin came from the previous life, so she understood that General Jingwu did not die, but was detained by the Huns in a remote area for more than ten years. In the previous life, General Jingwu returned from a re-examination in a certain year. In this life, Xia Zijin believes that fate , General Jingwu is still in the hands of the Huns.

Since she wanted to accept Huang Chenyan as her friend, she was also responsible for putting her fate on the track that belonged to Huang Chenyan.

Huang Chenyan is a woman with a strong personality. She does not belong to Lin Runyu's backyard. She belongs to the vast territory and the bloody battlefield.

Although in this life, Xia Zijin made Huang Chenyan marry Lin Runyu by mistake, but she must not let a generation of female generals be buried in the swampy Lin Wangfu.

At this time, the two were talking face to face, and Huang Chenyan lamented what Xia Zijin said.

First, she didn't want to see Da Lai being invaded by the Huns, and Er Guo didn't want to see the peace of her homeland, which her father had saved with his life, being trampled on by the Huns again.

Just as Huang Chenyan was feeling sad, Xia Zijin suddenly said.

"Chenyan, these days you often read military books to study formations and plan strategies, but have you ever thought about contributing to the imperial court when the country is in turmoil?"

Huang Chenyan was stunned for a while. Although she had indeed devoted herself to learning the art of war these days, the current battle situation was not a child's play.

Such an outstanding general was sent by Ming Shengdi to fight against the enemy in the frontier, and there is no chance of winning all, not to mention that she is a weak woman, and her mind and strategy are not as good as those generals who have experienced many battles and experience.

So she pursed her lips and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but that I feel that I'm not capable enough. Wouldn't it be a sin to delay the frontier situation because of my blind passion. What's more..."

Huang Chenyan paused, and twitched the corners of his mouth at Xia Zijin's puzzled look, smiling helplessly.

"What's more, now that I am the concubine of Prince Lin, every word, deed, and action must be restrained by Prince Lin. The prince's temperament is vain and clinging, and he always hides and hides when he can hide and hide when he can deal with family and country affairs. , if he doesn't agree with me to go to the border, how can I go by myself."

This is the sorrow of being a woman. As a woman, she obeys her father at home, her husband when she gets married, and her son after her husband dies. Whether it is major events in life or interests and aspirations, she has no control at all.This is true in the homes of ordinary officials and common people, let alone the royal family with strict rules and cumbersome rules.

Xia Zijin knew what Huang Chenyan was worried about, and Lin Runyu's villainous mind would definitely not let Huang Chenyan go to the frontier.However, she didn't want Lin Runyu to agree to Huang Chenyan's going to the border at all. What she wanted to do was to make Huang Chenyan completely reborn and leave Lin Runyu's side completely.

"If Prince Lin's absence can control you, would you like to go?" Xia Zijin asked suddenly.

Huang Chenyan didn't quite understand, so he turned his head to look at her, only to see Xia Zijin stretched out his hand and slowly grasped Huang Chenyan's wrist.

"Chenyan, as your friend, I actually don't agree with you going to the frontier. For one thing, the place is currently in a war, and the danger is unpredictable. It is really inconvenient for you to go to the house of a daughter. But if you are the princess of Dalai Since the Xiongnu have come to our door, what we can do right now is to rekindle the confidence of the soldiers who have been slack, remake the battle plan, and drive the foreign enemies out of Dalai in one go .

Her voice was crisp and a little excited.

"But I'm just a woman, how can I take the responsibility of disturbing the whole army?" Huang Chenyan sighed softly.

"You can, because you are the daughter of General Jingwu."

Xia Zijin's voice reached Huang Chenyan's ears. After hearing the word "Jingwu General", she suddenly felt a little throbbing.

As Huang Chenyan's eyes darkened, Xia Zijin added: "It is precisely because you are the daughter of General Jingwu that you can do things that others cannot. In the past, General Jingwu fought bloody battles at Baiyun Pass In exchange for decades of peace on the frontier of Dalai with your Chi Langlang's life, not only your father and courtiers will remember the merits of General Jingwu, but the common people and soldiers will also remember your father's brave and fearless image. As long as you appear in the frontier, Chenyan, they will think of the Jingwu general who fought bloody for Dalai back then, and everyone will be excited and heroic."

"Chen Yan, you are very important!"

You are very important.

These four words have been lingering in Huang Chenyan's heart.

When Xia Zijin mentioned that she was asked to go to the frontier for a try, she was a little shaken, but because of her status and her lack of ability, she felt helpless and felt powerless.

After Xia Zijin's persuasion, Huang Chenyan suddenly understood what a heavy responsibility he shouldered.

As the daughter of General Jingwu, she takes on the responsibility of inheriting her father's last wish and protecting the innocent people in Dalai from the Huns.This time the Xiongnu came here with blood, not only caused the loss of tens of millions of soldiers in Dalai, but also disturbed the small cities on the frontier, causing the people to suffer unspeakably.If she can restore the morale of the soldiers and drive the Huns out of the country with her own body, the spirit of her father in the sky should be very gratified.

Such thoughts have been lingering in Huang Chenyan's mind. After Huang Chenyan and Xia Zijin parted ways, he returned to Prince Lin's mansion.

In the deep silence of the night, Huang Chenyan walked on the long corridor of Prince Lin's Mansion, the bamboo forests on both sides rustled with the wind, and her thoughts were clear.

When she walked into the study, Lin Runyu was still holding a small book and carefully calculating the loss and winnings, planning to let the prince spit it back after the war.The dim and flickering oil lamp illuminated Lin Runyu's villainous face even more.

Huang Chenyan frowned slightly, a little bit disliked that his nominal husband had to care about the gains and losses when the country was in danger and the people were in danger.

Lin Runyu was calculating the account book, when she suddenly looked up and saw Huang Chenyan walking in, she waved at her.

"Chenyan, you came at the right time. Bring the brighter diesel lamp for this son. The light is very small, and the light is very dazzling, and the accounts can't be seen clearly."

Huang Chenyan nodded lightly, moved her lotus steps lightly, moved her bare hands slightly, and walked in front of Lin Runyu holding the brighter lamp.
