Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 278
"The late emperor had many concubines in the harem, but he never cared about the affairs of the harem. This also led to fierce fighting in the harem and few heirs. The empress dowager was able to give birth to the current emperor because of the protection of the empress dowager."

"At that time, the empress was very powerful. Except for the imperial concubine who could compete with her a little bit, all the other concubines were crushed to death. However, the few who gave birth to children all got high positions."

Although this was not a direct answer, it said everything.

It meant that the queen mother was not favored, but because she was pregnant and the first emperor had few heirs, the first queen mother protected her and asked her to give birth to a child, so she had a place in the harem.

Ye Yun didn't even know what to say, he could only say that good luck tricked people, the Queen Mother's life is fine.

When she was a concubine, she was lucky enough to give birth to a child and got some favors. Later, her son became the emperor and she became the queen mother.

So such a not-so-smart queen was born.

It sounds like God is making fun of people.

The imperial concubine was considered a favorite back then, and she was smart and ambitious, but His Royal Highness Prince Ping didn't follow her at all.

Just like the title of Ping, he is unremarkable and prefers ordinary days.

If this was changed, the imperial concubine gave birth to Ning Chen and became the empress dowager, but I really don't know what it would be like.

"Why did Xiuyuan suddenly ask this?" Liang Nanny asked strangely.

Ye Yun withdrew her thoughts, hooked the corners of her lips, "It's nothing, I'm just curious, is the donkey-hide gelatin stewed? I'll eat it now, it will get cold after a long time."

Since she didn't say anything, Nanny Liang didn't ask any more questions, and just served her to eat.

As for the Queen Mother's words, I'm sorry, Ye Yun's left ear went into his right ear, so he wouldn't say anything in front of Ning Chen.

This tense atmosphere did not last long, and finally broke out on the night of April [-]th.

Everyone thought that the Liao people would break through from the fiefdom of the four princes of Zasak, but they did not expect him to raid Lingzhou and attack Ye Zhe's territory.

Of course, Ye Zhe is not the only one guarding Lingzhou. He is still young and cannot command so many soldiers.

Now there are three generals in Lingzhou, and the other two are veterans who fought with the Liao Kingdom, General Xian and General Lu.

The soldiers under Ye Zhe inherited from his father, a total of 5000 soldiers.

This has already been reduced. After all, he is young, and the Ye family army used to have a total of 15 people.

It was also because of this that the Liao people chose to break through from Ye Zhe.

A teenager in his early twenties is naturally easier to deal with than those veterans.

But this time, the people of Liao really just missed it.

Ye Zhe has been guarding against them these days.

He also knew in his heart that his qualifications were too low and he had no military achievements, so he might be regarded as a persimmon by the Liao people, so he always ordered all soldiers to be on the highest alert at all times.

So that night, although the Liao people came suddenly and chose late at night, the Ye family army was only in chaos for a moment, and when Ye Zhe lit the beacon, he reacted instantly.

Years of practice have been waiting for this moment.

Ye Zhe even took the lead, rushing to the front with the tasseled spear left by his father.

As in-laws of the Yin family, Yin's father and two elder brothers followed closely behind.

Ye Zhe waited too long for this battle, even the entire Ye family army waited too long.

They have always believed that the young general can take over the mantle of the old general. They have been underestimated by the other two waves of soldiers over the years, so they are eager to prove themselves.

With such morale and preparation, it is impossible to lose.

In the middle of the month, the moonlight is particularly bright in the clear night sky.

The soldiers held their swords and raised their knives, and quickly fought with the Liao army.

This time, the Liao people obviously did not expect this kind of result.

They raided with not many soldiers and horses, but within half an hour they were in decline. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leaders immediately beat the drums and retreated.

This time, the Ye family army won a big victory.

I understand that someone hastened day and night to send the good news to Kyoto.

When Ning Chen got the information, it was two nights after the incident.

It is naturally a great joy to be a teacher, and it can inspire people's morale.

Nanqi, a young general in his early twenties, could have such courage, would he still be afraid of going to war with the Liao Kingdom seriously?

It was also after receiving this good news that the Liao Kingdom officially declared war on Nanqi.

The 35-year-old Liao King Tuobaqing is in his prime.

He has been preparing for this station for five years.

Last time his father was defeated by Emperor Nanqi Xiandi, this time, he is bound to avenge his shame.

"Show me, I'm going to Zhaochunxuan!"

Ning Chen was in a good mood holding the good news.

Not long after, Yujia stopped outside Zhaochunxuan's gate.

Before Ye Yun came out to greet him, Ning Chen strode in with a smile, and when he saw someone, he hugged him suddenly.

Ye Yun was so scared that she immediately covered her stomach.

This is about to happen, how can I stand such a hug.

"Your majesty, your majesty, you should be lighter, you are holding your concubine's belly!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot, I was careless, didn't I hurt you?"

Ning Chen came to his senses and hurriedly backed away a little, with a nervous expression on his face.

He held Ye Yun's shoulders and looked him up and down.

"Okay, the concubine is fine, but the emperor, what's the matter? Such excitement can scare the concubine." Ye Yun said.

After saying this, Ning Chen laughed unabashedly.

He took out the good news from his bosom and stuffed it to her.

"Look, your elder brother warned you in the first battle, the night attack that defeated the Liao people, and even captured more than [-] people from the Liao army alive. It's really a tiger with no dogs, what a General Ye!"

"Already fighting?"

Ye Yun was surprised, and hurriedly opened the envelope to see that it was indeed his brother's handwriting.

The pen is sharp and piercing through the back of the paper. From this short report, Ye Yun has already seen his brother's high-spirited and smug look.

"My brother has practiced martial arts for many years, for this moment of devotion to the country."

Looking up at Ning Chen, Ye Yun smiled brilliantly.

She knew right away that she believed her brother rightly, and this time she had the bottom line in her heart.

"May the emperor stay for lunch?"

"No, I summoned the Minister of Military Affairs and the Minister of Household Affairs to the Jiuchen Palace to discuss matters. Since the war is serious, I have to make plans. I am just really happy and want to come and have a look at you."

Ning Chen reached out and touched Ye Yun's head, and couldn't help but hug her again.

"After the war, I won't be able to come here often. Be obedient and give birth to a child for me. Make sure the mother and child are safe."

"Okay, that concubine wishes the emperor a great victory and praises my Nanqi national prestige."

Ye Yun gently hugged him back, her eyes full of trust and dependence.

Watching Ning Chen's Yujia leave, Ye Yun had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

She laughed that Ning Chen was like a child, when there was a happy event, she came to tell her specially, and worried that her brother who was far away in the border would be injured.

On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, how can achievements be so easy to make?
