The Red Mansions

Chapter 960 Empress Song: Since the founding of the country, unprecedented... (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

Kunning Palace

In the hall, in the hall surrounded by curtains, the air is bright and clean, and the floor is covered with Persian carpets. The spices and sandalwood in the smoked cages curl up with the green smoke, exuding a fragrant fragrance. , so that the nobleman can order.

Empress Song and Concubine Duan Rong were sitting on an arhat bed, and they were entertaining Song Jing, his wife Shen Shi and his daughter Song Yan. At this moment, everyone had not received the good news from the front hall.

Because of the many palaces in the back house, the noisy and warm atmosphere of Shenjing City has not yet spread here.

And Song Jing came here to tell Queen Song about the old lady Song's plan to return to Jiangnan.

Last year, the south of the Yangtze River was not peaceful and the roads were not smooth, but it is undoubtedly much smoother now.

Song Jing said: "Your Majesty, father has talked about it many times, and he wants to go back to his hometown. As he grows older, he starts thinking about the mountains and rivers of his hometown."

Empress Song wore a vermilion dress, her cloud bun was towering, her graceful and plump face also showed a look of disappointment, she sighed softly, and said: "My sister and I are the ones who are not filial."

Song Jing said: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. This time, my brother is planning to accompany my father back to Hangzhou, so I can take care of him on the way."

Empress Song thought for a while, then sighed again: "Father is going back to his hometown in Hangzhou. I, the eldest daughter, should give him a ride, but the palace is full of trivial matters, so it's hard to see him off."

Concubine Duan Rong sighed lightly.

In fact, being entangled in trivial matters is secondary, the main reason is that even the queen cannot return to peace at will, and needs the consent of the emperor.

As Yuan Chun said in the original book, the separation of flesh and blood is not very interesting when you think about it.

Shen Shi said: "Your Majesty has such thoughts, father-in-law is already very comforted."

As she said that, she looked at the cardamom girl beside her and said, "My lady, I am going south with my husband this time, and Yan'er can't let it go, please ask my lady to take care of her."

Her family's Yan'er is also about to reach the age of Ji, rumors in the palace, the empress seems to intend to betroth Yan'er to King Liang, but she doesn't know what she has doubts about.

Accompanied by Princess Xianning and Princess Qinghe, she couldn't help turning her eyes to Song Yan. She saw that childish and beautiful face with a soft and peaceful temperament, just like a slim lotus without branches or branches.

Song Yan is wearing a pink skirt today, wearing a snail bun, her forehead is covered with air bangs, her face is white and greasy, her eyes are as bright as autumn water, and under her goose-fat nose is a bright red cherry like a peach blossom Small mouth, exquisite facial features quite a bit of aunt's charm.

Empress Song smiled and said: "It's fine here in this palace. I also said that the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming, so I asked Xianning to take her cousin Yan'er around."

Princess Xianning's clear eyes flickered slightly, she glanced at Song Yan, and said in a clear voice: "My mother, cousin Yan'er likes to read, she told me to go and have a look at the palace collection."

Concubine Duanrong smiled, and said: "Yan'er looks more bookish, and she will be a lady in the future, what kind of books do you usually read?"

Song Yandao: "I don't dare to be an aunt to praise, I usually look through it at will."

Shen said: "She has been reading the Three Kingdoms script during this time,"

Princess Xianning's clear eyes flickered, she looked at her cousin, and said softly, "Sister Yan'er, should I teach you how to ride a horse?"

Sister Yan'er's character and appearance are really a bit like the queen's mother, it is this temperament, which seems to be soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

Song Yan's bright eyes under her brows drooped slightly, and she said softly, "Cousin, I'm a little scared."

Shen Shi smiled, and said softly: "Yes, riding a horse is too dangerous, and Yan'er has never ridden since she was a child."

Concubine Duan Rong glanced at Princess Xianning angrily, and said softly: "Xianning, a girl from every family, why are you learning how to ride a horse?"

Do you have to raise your niece to have a temperament like Xianning?

Princess Qinghe gently pulled Princess Xianning, Zang Xingyunyue's eyes were rippling, and she hesitated to speak.

Empress Song stared at Princess Xianning with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Since Ziyu won the battle last time, it has been more than half a month since Ziyu delivered any military information. Not long ago, there was a piece of good news from the Xuanfu. .”

Princess Xianning sighed lightly, and said, "Sir, he must be confronting the enemy right now."

It would have been nice if she had gone to Datong with her husband.

Song Jing said: "Recently people in Beijing are saying that the Marquis of Yongning is defending the city in Datong, using defense instead of attack, and restraining the main force of Jurchen."

Since Jia Heng destroyed the Jurchen elite in the first battle, so far there are no achievements. Although people of insight know that it is difficult to get cheap with the Jurchen field battles, but people's hearts are like this. Seeing Jia Heng's silence in Datong, Beijing gradually has Some gossip.

"His Majesty is here!"

Just when everyone was thinking differently, the eunuchs and maids serving outside the hall shouted loudly and knelt down to salute the middle-aged emperor in the yellow dragon robe. The spring day was bright at noon in March, and the air seemed to be floating The fragrance of all kinds of beautiful flowers and herbs planted on both sides of the main hall of Kunning Palace makes people feel refreshed.

Emperor Chongping stepped over the threshold and entered the main hall of Kunning Palace. At this moment, Empress Song, Concubine Duanrong, Concubine Shen and others who were sitting and talking were all able to stand up and salute together.

Song Jing saluted Emperor Chongping, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongping was in a good mood, his eyes lost the majesty of the past, and he said in a gentle tone, "Shu Yu, let's get back down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Jing thanked her.

Several other people saluted one after another.

At this moment, Empress Song looked at the emperor who was blushing and joyful, and the beauty smiled sweetly, as if a charming spring flower was in full bloom, and said, "Your Majesty, is there any happy news from outside?"

Emperor Chongping said: "Zitong, Ziyu has achieved a great victory in Ping'an Prefecture."

After all, Song Jing was by his side, and Emperor Chongping's mood was much calmer at the moment, but the joy in his tone still couldn't be concealed.

When Empress Song heard the words, "Ah", her eyebrows and eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she said with high spirits: "Ziyu won the victory again?"

Not long ago, he just won the war, and now he has won the victory again?
Concubine Duan Rong also raised Mou to look at the emperor, Qing Jue's face was full of expectations.

"This time is different from the past. In addition to defeating the Jurchen elite, even the Jurchen slave chief Taiji was killed by the Hongyi cannon." After all, Emperor Chongping couldn't hold back, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Empress Song: "???"

Song Jing's complexion changed suddenly, his heart was already inexplicably surprised, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, slave chieftain, but that false emperor Tai Chi who is usurping?"

Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "It is this old prisoner who has been appointed as the head of Ping'an Prefecture. Ziyu not only wiped out nearly ten thousand enemies, but also killed the slave chieftain. This battle can be described as an unprecedented victory since the founding of the country."

Empress Song was shocked when she heard this.

Since the founding of the country, it has never been seen before... Your Majesty's evaluation.

Princess Xianning's brows and eyes were full of joy, and she asked, "Father, why did you go to Ping'an Prefecture?"

Princess Qinghe's eyes were full of autumn waves, soft and shimmering, and her beautiful jade face was shrouded in joy.

Mr. Jia won another battle?
Song Yan pursed her tiny cherry mouth, and when she saw the joyous people in the hall, her eyes flashed with curiosity.

"Ziyu said in the memorandum that he led the troops to Xuanda and other places to stop the Jurchen forces. After a long period of hard work and no success, they will inevitably send out another surprise army. Ziyu knew before that most of the slave chiefs were unwilling. Sure enough, in Chaha In the situation where the Mongolian barrier has been lost, lead troops to surround Ping'an Prefecture, cut off our army's food roads, and seek a big victory."

These are some details in the secret. Jia Heng did not report these decision-making motives in the military newspaper before, but he still disclosed some details to the emperor.

The first battle in Ping'an Prefecture was roughly equivalent to Yuan Shao's prediction that Cao Cao would lead his troops to attack Wuchao, prepared cannons in advance, and waited for them. Cao Cao would definitely lose the battle.

Emperor Chongping's face was inexplicably excited, and he said: "After this battle, the head of Jurchen was killed, and the dragons have no leader. It is bound to bring disaster to Xiao Qiang, and the prosperity of the great Han Dynasty is in sight."

Song Jing got up at the right time, bowed to each other and said: "My minister congratulates His Majesty."

Emperor Chongping waved his hand, and after finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue, and said, "Xianning, Chanyue, after this battle, you two have a home, and when Ziyu comes back, I will give you marriage."

On the way back, he had already figured out how to reward Ziyu, a princess and a county lord would be married off, and a third-class duke would be conferred as a prince. , In the future, the monarch and his ministers will be suspicious.

It's just the title of duke of the state, he hasn't thought about it for a while, but it won't be too late to wait for Ziyu's triumphant return.

Princess Xianning had a look of embarrassment on her brows, and said: "Father, Chanyue and I are not in a hurry."

She knew that the husband would not let her wait so long.

Li Chanyue lowered her pink hairpin's head, her petite and lovely face was already blushing like a rosy cloud, clutching the handkerchief Jia Heng gave her in the past, her mood was like a handkerchief folded back and forth, wrinkled into a ball, hard to bear Straighten out.

She is going to marry Mr. Jia.

Emperor Chongping looked at the two shy and timid girls, with a kind smile rarely seen in the past on his majestic and solemn face, and said, "Then wait another two years?"

"Royal Father." Princess Xianning said softly when she heard the words.

Emperor Chongping looked at Empress Song and Concubine Duan Rong, smiled heartily, and expressed the joy in his heart, and said with emotion: "No wonder people say that female colleges are not allowed to stay."

The charming and beautiful eyes under the black eyebrows of Empress Song looked at the shy and happy girl with a rippling smile. The hibiscus jade face was as beautiful as peaches and plums, and she joked: "Xianning, Chanyue, you two are thinking about it now." It's done."

"Mother's Queen." Princess Xianning Qingjue also had a blush on her face, which was graceful and moving.

As for the little princess, she had long since dared not look at Empress Song, and was just thinking wildly.

Concubine Duanrong's clear and beautiful jade cheeks gradually showed a layer of joy, and said: "At first I was worried that I would not know how to give the marriage, but now I am fine."

Song Jing, who was sitting at the bottom, stared at the happy scene of the Tian family, secretly surprised.

Originally thought that Xianning would give the marriage to the Marquis of Yongning, but he didn't expect that the eldest princess' daughter, Chanyue, would also marry the Marquis of Yongning.

Although there are such rumors in Beijing, how can a princess and a princess give a marriage?

The story of Xiao'e, the queen and her daughter?
Song Yan, who was sitting next to Shen, had her eyes flickering under the slender eyebrows of willow leaves, her eyelashes flickered, her eyes were a little uneasy.

Cousin Xianning and sister Chanyue are going to marry that Marquis of Yongning?

Emperor Chongping said in a low voice: "Zitong, Concubine Rong, you have been helping Xianning and Chanyue to make preparations recently. When Ziyu's class teacher returns to Beijing, I can issue an imperial decree to grant a marriage, and both Ningrong and Rongfu."

If you don't give marriages, it's really hard to reward the merits of bombarding the heads of the enemy's chieftains, but now it's a mighty blessing to give marriages to the princess and princess, and to reward the duke.

In the future, he can be promoted to the Duke of Jia Heng according to his merits as appropriate, so he doesn't have to worry about the issue of being unsealable in the short term.

Although he is in the prime of life, he doesn't have to worry about anything, but he still has to practice the way of protecting the emperor and his ministers, so as to make a good story about the emperor's bright ministers and virtuous officials in the future.

On Empress Song's graceful and plump jade face, there was a slight smile, her voice was almost like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, clear and sweet, and she said softly: "Speaking of which, Jinyang has been in Jinling for several months. If Chanyue gets married, She should come too."

Princess Xianning said softly: "My queen, my aunt is busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, so there is no rush."

When the time comes, my aunt will attend Chanyue's wedding with her big belly, which is really... unseemly.

Li Chanyue's crystal-clear Fang was a little flustered in her heart, she clearly thought of the same thing as Princess Xianning, her beautiful face was flushed, and she said softly: "Mother is busy in the south of the Yangtze River, so I only watched it at that time."

Empress Song didn't doubt that he was there, and under her beautiful eyebrows, her beautiful eyes painted with light red eyeshadow looked at Emperor Chongping charmingly, then changed the subject and asked, "Your Majesty, when will Ziyu be the teacher? "

Emperor Chongping said: "Thieves and bandits are still raging in Beiping Mansion. I think that the Beijing Camp may be able to make new achievements."

Empress Song: "..."

Make new achievements?Well, now that the slave chief is dead in Ping'an Prefecture, maybe Ziyu can win another victory?
Emperor Chongping pondered: "After the Jurchen retreats, border troubles should not be as urgent as before."

In fact, Emperor Chongping may not have thought so, because Jurchen's offensive must be even faster when she makes a comeback in order to avenge her revenge.

Empress Song said: "Your Majesty, for this big victory, Your Majesty can also take a good rest. During this period of time, you have forgotten to eat and sleep, and you should take care of your body."

Emperor Chongping nodded.

At this moment, Concubine Duan Rong glanced at Song Jing who was sitting respectfully, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the third concubine brother is going to accompany his father to his hometown, can I ask the Holy Majesty for a favor?"

Emperor Chongping looked at Song Jing who was at the side, with a look of doubt on his face, and asked, "Concubine Rong said grace?"

Song Jing got up from the chair, bowed to Emperor Chongping and said: "My lord, my father is hard to leave his homeland, and I am very homesick. Please allow Rong Weichen to send my father home, and show some filial piety."

After hearing the words, Emperor Chongping understood what was going on, pondered for a moment, and said, "Duke Song has been in the capital for more than ten years. Since he is homesick, let's go home and enjoy the rest of his life."

Back then, when Emperor Chongping ascended the throne and became emperor, Song Taigong also contributed a lot, and even knew some secrets of the emperor. In fact, this was also the reason why he was detained in Shenjing.

Empress Song left her seat and got up, owed a salute, and said in a soft and soft voice with a bit of sobs, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding, my concubine."

Concubine Duanrong also stood up and thanked Emperor Chongping.

Emperor Chongping paused for a moment, smiled, and said, "It's what it should be. Next spring, not only a few concubines will go to the palace to visit relatives, but the queen can also go south to visit relatives."

After all, Empress Song has two sons, so she is not as strict as the young concubines, who cannot leave the palace for half a step.

Empress Song raised her snow-skinned and jade-like face, and said softly, "How can the concubine be willing to let His Majesty stay in Beijing alone?"

Emperor Chongping showed nostalgia on his face, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I haven't been to Jiangnan for many years."

If the long-standing evils are eradicated, maybe he will also go south to the south of the Yangtze River and deal with state affairs in the old capital of Jinling, but before that...

The imperial doctor said the day before yesterday that the Taishanghuang's body and bones were gradually exhausted.

Now that the slave chief is conferring the head, all the shame of the past is gone, and I will go to see the Supreme Emperor later.

When the three emperors, empresses and concubines in Kunning Palace were talking about Jia Heng's great victory, at this moment, before Jia Zheng returned from the court, the two houses of Rongning and Ning had already heard from the noise and enthusiasm outside. Some good news came.

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall

Mother Jia was sitting on an arhat bed covered with soft mattresses, talking to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing. Today, Sister Feng was away and went to Ningguo Mansion.

As for Li Wan, he has lived in the Grand View Garden.

"Old lady, the master is back."

Mother Jia was asking about the good news spread by a nun outside, and said with a smile: "Go and invite someone here."

After a while, meeting Mrs. Wang's suspicious gaze, Jia Zheng entered the Rongqing Hall from the outside, bowed respectfully to Jia's mother, and said, "I have seen my mother."

Looking at Jia Zheng in the scarlet robe official uniform, Jia Mu nodded and asked, "Just now I heard from the nanny that there are rumors that Brother Heng won another big victory in Ping'an Prefecture?"

Jia Zheng sat down, and said excitedly, "I was about to tell my mother, but the palace has already said that Brother Heng defeated nearly ten thousand Jurchen troops in Ping'an Prefecture and killed Huang Taiji. After hearing this letter, the Holy Majesty, Long Yan is very happy, the war in the north is about to end."

The ruler of a country was killed by artillery, and Jurchen naturally had no intention of invading it. It was not wrong to say that the war in the north was about to end.

When Jia Mu heard this, her old face was filled with joy, and she said: "Zheng'er, this is really a happy event. I said that Brother Heng is amazing. Since I went to the north, the success reports are one after another. "

Jia Zheng said: "Mother, this is not the same as last time. The Jurchen captives all perished in Ping'an Prefecture. When the dynasty was over, my colleagues said that this was the most glorious victory in the past 30 years. Brother Heng said that he also found the captive chieftain." The head is waiting to come back and present it."

Mother Jia looked shocked and said, "This..."

As a family member of the top martial artist of the Han Dynasty, when Jia Zhengyi reminded him, he naturally recalled all kinds of events more than 20 years ago.

"In other words, this is the first great achievement since the founding of the country?" Jia Mu said.

Jia Zhengdao: "What my colleagues in the DPRK and China have discussed is almost the same."

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, then ordered the mandarin ducks who were serving on the side, and said to the girl with a happy face on the duck's face, "Go to the East Mansion and tell Brother Heng and his daughter-in-law, and they will say that Brother Heng has won a big victory."

After saying this, Mother Jia couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang gently twirled the beads in her hand, her complexion was as pale as paper, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

Madam Xing had a prosperous smile on her face, and said: "Old lady, Brother Heng is coming back this time, maybe his title will go up a bit, right? If he gets up again, he will be a duke, which is really honoring our ancestors. "

Mrs. Wang's hand turning the Buddhist beads stopped slightly, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

Duke?Rong Guogong was a Duke when he was alive, and that Uncle Heng is only a little older, is he a Duke?
Jia Mu said: "It's hard to say now, but it's not bad."

Jia's mother used Jia Zheng's words, but her heart was complicated and inexplicable.

If he was promoted again, he would really be a duke. Although the duke of the small country is also a duke of the country, it is the title of instigating his ancestors.

In the wicker alley back then, the young man who was still in Rongqing Hall with his neck stuck and his face full of indignation, was actually a duke?
Mother Jia was in a trance for a while.

But Jia Zheng twirled his beard with his hands, with a happy expression on his face.

At this moment, following Jia Zheng's confirmation, the entire Rongguo Mansion was shrouded in joy. Under the instructions of their mother, Lin Zhixiao and his wife ordered the accountant to distribute happy money to the mothers and maids in the mansion.

……

……

Grand View Garden, Hengwu Garden

Compared with the hustle and bustle of personnel in Rongning and Ningfu, Hengwuyuan received the news obviously a little later, and at this moment, there was no sound of victory from outside.

It's March, when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, the courtyard once inscribed with the plaque of "Heng Zhi Qing Fen", and the rockery vines, vines and vines, exude a calming fragrance.

Among the antique houses, it is quiet and quiet. Through the rocky rockery, you can see pots of flowers planted under the west wing.

In the west wing room, there is a desk next to the standing cabinet. There is no valuables on it. A plump girl in a lotus-colored jacket and skirt is sitting on the grand teacher's chair with her head slightly lowered. She is looking at the account book in her hand. This is Some of Jia Heng's industrial stores in central Beijing had a surplus in revenue and expenditure last month.

Baochai's pear-shaped face was full of concentration, concentrating on calculating the income and expenditure figures on the account book, and from time to time lifted the brush on the pen holder to write records on the book.

At this time, Ying'er brought a cup of tea and said, "Miss, have a sip of tea."

Baochai took the teacup, took a sip, raised her eyes to Yinger, and asked, "What time is it?"

"Back to the girl, it's almost noon." Ying'er smiled and said, "My uncle's shop this month has made a profit of almost 4 to [-] taels."

Baochai took another sip of tea, and said softly, "Some shops are good businesses in Beijing."

At this moment, Aunt Xue's voice came from outside the house: "My dear girl, what are you up to?"

At this moment, Aunt Xue has not received the news of the great victory in Ping'an Prefecture in Shenjing City, but she just came to look for Baochai for business.

Hearing this, Baochai put down the account book in her hand, looked at her mother who came in through the curtain, and said with a slight smile, "Look at the account book, Mom, why are you here?"

"Come and see you." Aunt Xue saw a prosperous smile on her fair face, looked at the books on Baochai's desk, and asked with a smile: "My dear girl, what account book did you help Brother Heng read?"

Now Girl Bao and Brother Heng are almost like a husband and wife, and I don't know where they are now.

Baochai said: "Last month's income and expenditure account book, check the balance of Liyin."

As she spoke, she took Aunt Xue's hand and came to the kang couch next to the window. The mother and daughter sat across a small table. At this time, Ying'er brought two cups of tea that she had poured and passed them over.

Aunt Xue looked at Baochai with a smile on her face, and said, "Girl Bao, let me tell you something about yourself."

Under Baochai's willow eyebrows, the watery star pupils shone slightly, and she was a little surprised, she pursed her plump and moist lips, and said, "Mom, tell me."

At this time, without Baochai's winking, Ying'er voluntarily left the room, and before she left, she signaled Aunt Xue to come with her. Tongxi and Tonggui all left the room.

For a while, only the mother and daughter were left in the wing room.

Aunt Xue smiled, and said softly: "My dear girl, you and Brother Heng have known each other for more than a year, right?"

Baochai couldn't figure out what her mother meant for a while, so she just nodded and said softly, "It's been more than a year, almost two years."

Time flies, from when Baochai came to Beijing at the turn of autumn and winter the year before last, to this spring, almost two years have passed.

Aunt Xue paused for a moment, looked at her daughter, organized her words, and said, "You and Brother Heng have been together for so long, and Mom is worried about something."

When Baochai heard this, her moist apricot eyes were filled with suspicion, she smiled and said, "Mom, what are you worried about?"

Aunt Xue considered her words and said, "My dear girl, you and Brother Heng...how far have you guys reached?"

Baochai:"???"

What step?Isn't it a step to talk about marriage?

Immediately, the girl with crystal-clear thoughts suddenly understood, and the plump and beautiful face blushed into a glow, and she said with anger and embarrassment: "Mom, why are you asking this?"

"Mom, I'm worried about you. You and Brother Heng often stay together, and you are in the garden. It's like a couple." Aunt Xue felt a little hot as she said, so she said: "My dear girl, Don't let people see our joke."

Baochai's snowy face was flushed with embarrassment, and she said angrily, "Mom, what are you talking about? We are... It starts with love and ends with courtesy."

Thinking of that man's obsession with and appreciation of her body, as well as her and his mutual pleasure, it's all about courtesy, right?
When Aunt Xue heard the words, her heart settled down, and she looked at Baochai for a while, catching the shy and timid girl with a silent and charming charm in the corner of her eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she said in a low voice: "My dear girl, where are you going?" gone?"

Baochaifang felt ashamed and said in a low voice: "Mom, don't ask, there is no husband and wife..."

How does this make her say?

"Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "My dear girl, I feel relieved when you say that. I heard from your aunt yesterday that Brother Heng is now fighting outside. There are many things that are hard to say. One... I mean, what if, this military situation is dangerous, if you accidentally lose the battle, um, you are better now. "

When Baochai heard this, she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows, her apricot eyes were puzzled, and she asked, "Mom, what are you saying all of a sudden?"

Aunt Xue looked around, lowered her voice, and said, "Isn't that what I said, in short, the rules passed down by the ancestors still have a reason, and you can't go without a match... In short, you can't suffer a big loss."

As Jia Heng and Nuzheng have been fighting for a long time, reports of defeats continue to come from Beiping. On that day, Concubine Nan'an mentioned that Jia Heng might lose the battle, and she was blamed by the palace.

Concubine Nan'an is worthy of being the old lady in charge of the Wuxun family. She analyzed clearly and logically, and mentioned Jia Heng's dilemma in Datong.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intention, so Aunt Xue paid some attention to it, thinking that it would be better to be on the safe side, because there are really unexpected things, and there is still a chance to turn things around.

When Baochai heard the words, her complexion turned pale, she bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, I was born to him, and even if I die, I am his ghost. Don't talk about it."

Aunt Xue's complexion changed suddenly, and she said in a startled voice: "My dear girl, if you want to do this, what will your brother and I do? You said that brother Heng is also, and now you are sneaking around, and this doesn't even give you a name."

When the matter of status was mentioned, Baochai Yurong paused slightly, pursed her pink lips, sighed and said, "Mom, you don't understand."

She has already identified him, how can she be half-hearted?
Aunt Xue was a little worried, and told her: "Baby girl, I'm doing it for your own good, even if it's true...you must not do stupid things, your life will last forever."

Baochai bowed her head and remained silent for a while.

After thinking for a while, he said in a clear voice: "Mom, how do you talk about this today? Didn't the people under Brother Heng just won a battle not long ago, and everything is fine."

Aunt Xue sighed: "Isn't Concubine Nan'an coming here to say this, I felt a little creepy when I heard it next to me. No one can tell about wars, victory or defeat, good or bad, so I came here to ask you. "

Baochai shook her head and said, "Mom, brother Heng will definitely win this time."

Looking at her daughter who spoke so convincingly, Aunt Xue smiled and said, "That's naturally a good thing, and Mom also hopes that he can win the fight. It’s not a big loss.”

As long as she is still a girl of Huanghua, even if brother Heng is really bad, there is still a chance.

Seeing that Baochai's face was ugly, and her teeth were biting her lips tightly, she knew that her daughter didn't like to hear this, so she quickly stopped, and said instead: "Even if you don't have those things, it's good, when you are engaged and married, the bridal chamber The flowers and candles will also save outsiders from being unclear and end up making jokes."

Baochai's white and flawless jade cheeks were as red as clouds, and she said shamefully, "Mom."

Seeing this, Aunt Xue smiled and said: "My dear girl, you know what you know, you can't be fooled by someone."

At this moment, Baochai lowered her head and did not respond, but Fangxin sighed quietly.

If he lied to himself, he would have been given a title long ago, and it's not that the title is not justified now.

Compared to others, besides her body, what else can she do to help him?
Thinking of this, the girl felt a little uncomfortable.

Since she came back, she hasn't pestered her anymore. I'm afraid this body...he must be a little tired.

Ugh……

But at this moment, Ying'er had already run in from the outside, her pretty face overflowing with joy, and she met the puzzled eyes of the mother and daughter, and said with a smile: "Girl, madam, uncle has won a great victory in Ping'an Prefecture, and there are rumors outside It's on."

Aunt Xue: "..."

Victory?No, where is Ping'an Prefecture?

Baochai's heart was overjoyed, she looked at Ying'er with crystal clear almond eyes, and hurriedly asked: "What is the victory, what do you say outside?"

Ying'er said softly: "Girl, it is said that the uncle wiped out nearly ten thousand enemies in Ping'an Prefecture, and he seems to have killed the Jurchen chieftain. What is his name? He seems to be the lord of a country. He also said that this time he has made more contributions than before. Big."

The girl said, her heart was full of joy.

My uncle's return this time may be even more extraordinary, and her daughter's status as a legal wife should have been settled.

Aunt Xue's fair face twitched, her eyes flickered, and she couldn't help asking: "How much credit is that?"

At this moment, Baochai, listening to Yinger's words, was so excited that a slight blush appeared on her pink face, and her moist almond eyes were as bright as water. The duke is sealed."

This is her man. After this battle, he should be promoted to the Duke of the Kingdom.

Aunt Xue was shocked when she heard this.

Duke?Duke?Is this really the Duke?
