Wangfu, Chunshengyuan.

There was light snow falling in the courtyard, and everything was peaceful.

Yelu Nanyan was sitting in the room with a hot pot of tea in front of her. While she was sipping the tea, she listened to the sounds coming from the yard next door.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

"Your Majesty, I know I made a mistake..."

"Your Majesty...husband...good brother..."

At this time, Xiao Wenyao on the side whispered: "Sister Nanyan, I remember that the woman next door is also the prince's woman, right?"

Yelu Nanyan took a sip of tea and replied, "All the people living in the inner courtyard are his women."

Xiao Wenyao said: "Oh."

Xiao Wenyao thought for a moment, and then continued: "But I rarely see the prince going next door."

Yelu Nanyan said: "She is different from us. She is responsible for something outside and is not often in the palace."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao sighed, and then said: "It would be great if I was also responsible for something. Staying in the palace every day is so boring."

Yelu Nanyan smiled slightly, and then said: "The prince will go to your room later, so you won't be bored anymore."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao trembled and said with a red face: "Sister Nanyan, what are you talking about? The prince is still doing bad things next door, how could he come to me?"

Xiao Wenyao still had some expectations in her heart. After all, it had been more than two months since she had played horse riding with Lu Chen.

But she also knew that Lu Chen had many women, and Lu Chen might not come looking for her in a while. Even if Lu Chen came to Chunshengyuan, he would most likely go to Yelu Nanyan first.

As long as Lu Chen entered Yelu Nanyan's room, he would never go out every night. This was basically the case every time. Xiao Wenyao had already figured out the pattern.

Lu Chen seemed to like attacking Yelu Nanyan's weaknesses very much. Xiao Wenyao was actually a little curious as to why Lu Chen could stay in Yelu Nanyan's room for so long every time. Could it be because Yelu Nanyan was a ninth-grade warrior? In order to make her surrender, Lu Chen needs a longer period of suppression?

Seeing Xiao Wenyao's face flushed, Yelu Nanyan smiled slightly, and then said: "Yao Yao, you should give birth to a fat boy for the prince as soon as possible. Maybe you can go out if you want to."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao asked: "Is it true?"

Yelu Nanyan said softly: "The people of Daxia value heirs. If you give birth to an heir for the prince, your status in the Northern Prince's Mansion will also be improved to a certain extent. Naturally, you can go out if you want."

Xiao Wenyao said: "But I heard that it is very difficult for warriors to get pregnant, and it is not so easy to have children."

Yelu Nanyan smiled and said: "It's simple. As long as you take good care of the prince and let him go to your place a few more times, you may be lucky one day and you will get pregnant."

Hearing this, Xiao Wenyao curled her lips. She didn't want Lu Chen to run to her often.

Although being yelled at by Lu Chen would not make her uncomfortable, she would definitely not be able to handle it if Lu Chen often came to her.

Let alone her, there was no woman in the entire inner courtyard of the palace who could resist Lu Chen often having sex with them.

Her attitude towards Lu Chen was quite complicated. She was afraid that Lu Chen would not come to her, but she was also afraid that Lu Chen would come to her every day.

What she was thinking was that it would be best if Lu Chen came to see her every seven or eight days.

Just when Xiao Wenyao was lost in thought, the voices next door became louder and louder. Yelu Nanyan said with a smile: "It seems that the prince is very angry today?"

Hearing Yelu Nanyan's words, Xiao Wenyao couldn't help but clench her legs. She thought to herself that she must be obedient in front of Lu Chen from now on, otherwise she might be punished by the prince like the one next door.

I don’t know how long it took.

The snow in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, and the sounds in the inner courtyard of the palace are gradually obscured by the sound of wind and snow.

As time passed, only the sound of whistling wind and snow was left.

at the same time.

In a certain room.

Wang Qingci was lying on the couch, her hair disheveled, looking like she was beyond love.

At this time, Lu Chen was looking through the information about Dayue that Wang Qingci had given him.

At this time, the wind and snow drifted in from the window, but this room had already been transformed into a greenhouse, and there was no trace of cold.

Even if this room is not a greenhouse, it doesn't matter. Lu Chen can also use manpower to turn this room into a greenhouse. At this time, Wang Qingci is so hot that she is sweating all over her body.

At this time, Lu Chen glanced at the white area next to him and said with a smile: "Master Wang, aren't you here to report information to me? Why are you lying motionless?"

"There is a big problem with your work attitude. You dare to be so lazy in front of me, the prince."

"It seems that we need to train and train him well."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci turned over slightly, turned sideways, and stared into Lu Chen's eyes with a look of resentment.

"My lord, you really like the villain to complain first. It's obviously you who doesn't let me report my work seriously."

"Next time you do this, the slave family will ask others to send information and never return to the palace."

Lu Chen said calmly: "Oh? As my slave girl, do you dare not come back and report to me in person?"

"Do you want to rebel?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci said quietly: "The prince is so fierce, how can the slave family dare to rebel?"

Seeing the resentful expression on Wang Qingci's face, Lu Chen raised his hand and slapped her on the buttocks, and then said: "Master Wang, you have to remember that it is your job to serve me."

Having said this, Lu Chen turned to look at the information in his hand again, "Okay, let's get down to business."

The anger in his heart had almost dissipated, and it was time to discuss business matters.

Wang Qingci then said: "Your Majesty, Tingyulou's business has expanded to the Dawu Dynasty, but it is not easy to get information about the Dawu Dynasty."

"The Nu family heard that the eldest princess of the Dawu Dynasty is very powerful. The intelligence network she controls spreads throughout Dawu. Any intelligence agencies from other dynasties who want to enter the Dawu Dynasty will be discovered by her."

"Although Tingyulou has successfully opened several restaurants and inns in Dawu, the Nu family does not dare to let them inquire about anything."

Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen suddenly became interested, "Oh? How can a princess control such a huge intelligence network? Doesn't Dawu have a prince? How could a woman control such a huge intelligence network?"

This was an era that favored boys over girls. Even the princesses of the royal family generally had little power in their hands. Most of their functions were political tools used by the emperor to maintain governance.

The intelligence network all over the country is similar to the Shadow Guard in the hands of Emperor Xia. It is indeed unbelievable that a princess of the dynasty has an intelligence agency similar to the Shadow Guard in her hands.

Wang Qingci replied: "Of course Dawu also has princes, and there are quite a few princes, but the eldest princess of Dawu is not simple, and those princes are no match for her at all."

At this point, Wang Qingci suddenly thought of something, and then continued: "When it comes to women taking power, the Nu family thought of another person, and that woman is relatively close to Beijun."

Lu Chen asked curiously: "Who?"

Wang Qingci replied: "The new Emperor Yue."

"Emperor Yue?" Lu Chen muttered. Although Dayue Dynasty borders Beijun, he didn't know much about Dayue Dynasty at first.

However, Tingyulou has recently collected a lot of information about the Dayue Dynasty, but there is very little information about the Yue Emperor in this information.

Wang Qingci continued: "It is rumored that the new Yue Emperor is also a woman, but for some reason, other dynasties have very little information about the new Yue Emperor."

"And there is no voice against Emperor Yue within the Dayue Dynasty."

"It stands to reason that if a woman becomes emperor, the dynasty will be shaken and all forces will be dissatisfied. However, the territory of Dayue is surprisingly quiet. No one is discussing whether Emperor Yue should be emperor."

Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen said with a smile: "This is a bit interesting, Queen, I didn't expect that there is a Queen in this world."

Wang Qingci continued: "Coincidentally, the Nu family heard that the eldest princess of Dawu and the Emperor Yue of the Dayue Dynasty are old acquaintances, and their relationship is very good."

"This time the Dayue Dynasty stationed 200,000 troops in the border area with Beijun. It is probably because Dawu asked Emperor Yue for help and asked Dayue to guard against Beijun's 50,000 heavy cavalry."

"But all this is just speculation from the slave family, and there is no evidence to confirm it."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and then said: "Your guess is not unreasonable."

"Dawu was able to immediately mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Daxia the moment Daxia provoked a dispute. This shows that they have been prepared for a long time. It also proves that they have probably already said hello to countries or dynasties that have good relations with Dawu. , so Dayue’s 200,000 troops will be mobilized in advance to the border area with Beijun to monitor Beijun’s heavy cavalry.”

"Of course, a guess is just a guess after all."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen looked at Wang Qingci's beautiful eyes and said: "Since it is easier to expose information when gathering information in Dawu, you should not collect information that is too sensitive and only collect what you have heard from the people. ."

"Next, Tingyulou will focus on the Dayue Dynasty. I am more interested in the queen of the Dayue Dynasty."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci said coquettishly: "My lord, do you want to kidnap that queen to give you a child?"

Lu Chen laughed, and then slapped Wang Qingci's buttocks again. Wang Qingci couldn't help but let out a squeaking sound.

"What do you know? A woman can make no man in the country oppose her becoming the queen. This proves that she must be very powerful and capable. In addition, the Dayue Dynasty itself borders our North County. I want to know about her. Isn’t that what it should be?”

"By the way, how old is the new Yue Emperor this year?"

Originally, Wang Qingci believed what Lu Chen said, but when she heard Lu Chen ask about her age, Wang Qingci looked at Lu Chen with suspicion, but she still replied: "She seems to be in her thirties, to be sure. The slave family is not sure about her age, but she should be about the same age as Dawu's eldest princess. Since the two of them are friends, they must not be too different in age."

Wang Qingci immediately reminded: "Although the slave family doesn't know what the prince is thinking, the slave family still wants to remind the prince. The slave family heard that Emperor Yue has a lot of faces. She is not as innocent as the prince's women."

Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen looked at Wang Qingci and said, "Tell me what this is for. You don't really think that I have a male or female interest in that Emperor Yue, do you?"

"No matter how stupid I am, I can't have that kind of interest in a queen. For a woman to have such great power, she will definitely rely on men to a certain extent. Even when a man becomes emperor, he has to stabilize his position through marriage, not to mention It is a woman who becomes the emperor.”

"The reason why I want to know her is because I'm worried that she will become North County's enemy in the future."

"Master Wang, you actually think of me as the kind of man who only thinks about problems with his lower body. You are maliciously speculating on me."

In this era, women's status is relatively low, and they must pay attention to the three obediences and the four virtues, but this is relative.

Any rules are made by those who have power. When women have power, they have no need to abide by those rules.

In this era, men can have three wives and four concubines, and women with power can also have several men.

Not to mention the queen, even the married princesses in the capital of Great Xia are still more playful than the other. It is normal to have a good face. As for the princes, they dare not speak out unless they are angry. The prince-in-law is from a big family, otherwise he would just have to endure it and get over it.

Even a princess, who was regarded by the emperor as a tool for political marriage, would raise a pretty head and a pretty boy, let alone the queen of a dynasty.

The queen of a dynasty has so much power in her hands, and she can get any man she wants. If someone says that she is still pure and has never had contact with a man, who would believe it, not to mention that Emperor Yue is already in her thirties. , unless Emperor Yue is a person who devotes himself to martial arts training.

Only warriors can reboot, and there are people who can reboot for a lifetime.

But Lu Chen doesn’t think that Emperor Yue is the kind of woman who can quit sexual intercourse. A woman who is in the center of power, with such great temptations around her, can she quit male sexual intercourse? This is unlikely.

Lu Chen obviously didn't go there for Yue Huang's beauty, but Wang Qingci actually thought of him as a man who would have twisted thoughts whenever he heard about women, which made Lu Chen very angry.

He is a decent gentleman, but he is actually regarded as a lecher.

This little slave girl is so lawless. She dares to slander him. She must be severely punished!

If you dare to slander him today, you don’t know what you will do tomorrow!

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wang Qingci's expression changed slightly, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake... uh uh..."

Lu Chen didn't care, he just threw the information in his hand aside, then leaned down and blocked Wang Qingci's red lips.

At this time, the snow outside the window was still falling, but it was much lighter.

The servants of the palace had already started shoveling the snow. When they heard the sound coming from a certain yard, they wisely avoided that yard.

Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao were still drinking dragon and phoenix tea in the room. When they heard the voice coming from next door, Xiao Wenyao said, "Sister Nanyan, that woman won't be killed by the prince, right?"

Yelu Nanyan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the prince knows what's appropriate. This is just the beginning. It's not dark yet."

Xiao Wenyao said with a hint of regret: "Oh."

It seems that Lu Chen won't go to other courtyards today, and he probably won't come to their Chunsheng courtyard either.

Winter is relatively long for most people. Most people can only stay at home. There are no entertainment activities in this era.

But for Lu Chen, time passed very quickly, because there were relatively few political affairs in Bei County in winter. He basically read the information in the study every morning, and then went to Chunsheng Academy to teach Xiao Wenyao how to ride horses, and to smoke with Yelu Nan He spent the whole day in Chunshengyuan enjoying tea.

At night, Lu Chen returned to the main courtyard and slept with his beloved concubine. He lived a very fulfilling life every day.

Half a month later.

Daxia, Beijing.

royal palace.

Although there is heavy snowfall in Beijun, the capital city of Daxia still looks like autumn, and there is no sign that winter has arrived.

Emperor Xia, wearing a yellow dragon robe, stood in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden, looking at the fallen leaves in the distance, frowning and listening to the report of the Shadow Guard Commander.

After the Shadow Guard commander finished his report, Emperor Xia said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and see if the two prime ministers are here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Situ Ce in the pavilion said: "I think this news is most likely true."

After hearing this, Emperor Xia said: "Aren't the Imperial Masters joking? In the last battle in Wanning Valley, Beijun was able to defeat the 300,000-strong army of King Tianlang. However, facing the 200,000-strong army of King Beixian, not only Instead of defeating the opponent, they fell into 50,000 heavy cavalry."

Situ Ce said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that a great master was suspected to have appeared in the Wanning Valley last time?"

"I believe that if there is a great master in Beijun, it is unlikely that the great master will stay in Beijun."

"The great victory achieved in the battle in Wanning Valley was most likely due to the help of the Grand Master. Without the Grand Master, Beijun's heavy cavalry would still be vulnerable."

"These heavy cavalry have only appeared recently. It is still unknown whether their combat effectiveness can be compared with the imperial court's heavy cavalry. We place too much emphasis on the armor on those heavy cavalry, thereby neglecting their true strength. "

"Even if Beijun has the armor of heavy cavalry, training a heavy cavalry and making it combat effective will not happen overnight. Your Majesty should be very aware of this."

After hearing Situ Ce's words, Emperor Xia said nothing, but the expression on his face kept changing.

What Situ Ce said made sense. All of them were frightened by the heavy cavalry appearing in Beijun. Mainly because they subconsciously regarded the black cavalry in Beijun as the same army as Daxia's 20,000 well-trained heavy cavalry. .

Although they received information about the black cavalry in Beijun, neither Lin Xiuming's battle report nor Bai Qingqing's information mentioned the strength of those black cavalry.

They never thought that the heavy cavalry that appeared in such a short period of time would have the same combat effectiveness as the heavy cavalry of the Great Xia court.

Now think about it, if those heavy cavalry are not soldiers from other forces who directly entered Beijun, but soldiers recruited from Beijun, just because they put on heavy armor and then formed a heavy cavalry, then their combat effectiveness will definitely be Can't keep up with real heavy cavalry.
