I am fish

The pool water all over his body smelled fishy, ​​so Zhen Wenjun went back to his room, took his clothes and went to the bathing pool to take a good bath.

On the way to the bathing pool, Zhen Wenjun was thinking about the "30 army" that Wei Tingxu had just mentioned.

In fact, the food in her hands is not enough to supply 30 yuan. In short-term operations, 20 yuan will be a breakthrough, and it will last for two months at most.Fang Cailue uttered big words, but Wei Tingxu's attitude seemed to be that he had 30 troops in his hands.

30……

Knowing that their Wei family was stealing soldiers, but they didn't know they stole so much!

If it's true, where is Wei Tingxu hiding?Is it scattered among the people or hidden outside Da Yu?If it is outside the country, once there is a battle, it is not a good strategy to spend time and money on long-distance requisition.However, Wei Tingxu has a strong sword and halberd, and it is very laborious to dismantle her strategy, so we must not just look at the surface.

30, 30, where did Wei Tingxu get so many soldiers?Or is it that she has been stockpiling troops since she planned to usurp the country ten years ago?

Zhen Wenjun's mind was full of Wei Tingxu, and he didn't realize when he took off his clothes and soaked in the pool.

The temperature of the water in the pool was suitable, and I took some clean clothes. After swimming around, I couldn't find where the acacia and ash boxes were.Zhen Wenjun was dumbfounded. When she was not in the mansion, Xiao Xiao didn't know how to toss in the pool, why all the bathing objects disappeared.

Zhen Wenjun swam around again and still couldn't find it, his hair was all down and wet...

Helpless, I had no choice but to pull myself out of the comfortable hot spring.

Just as he was about to go ashore, the bamboo grove by the pool that separated Zhuo Jun's Mansion from the Secretary's Mansion began to rustle again, as if someone had come.The naked Zhen Wenjun was startled, and quickly slid back into the pool.

Sure enough, someone was walking behind the bamboo grove, and he held up a gauze lantern as if he was afraid that he might not be able to see clearly at night.

The light of the gauze lamp flickered across the bamboo forest, and Zhen Wenjun asked loudly, "Who?"

The lights stopped following her questioning.

"It turned out that Madam was taking a bath, what a coincidence."

Hearing Wei Tingxu's voice, even though his whole body was not in the water, Zhen Wenjun was still very embarrassed.

"What's so coincidental? Li Yanyi's eyes and ears are gone, so there's no need to act on occasion."

"Huh?" Wei Tingxu asked back as if he didn't understand.

Zhen Wenjun held his breath in his heart, and said in a bad mood: "Isn't it a little wrong to appear when others are taking a bath, secretary supervisor?"

"It turned out that I was in the way. In this case, I will leave."

Zhen Wenjun was puzzled, why Wei Tingxu was so easy to talk today, and he really left when he said he would leave?Not like her style.

Sure enough, she paused and said: "The acacia that Xiao Xiao left for me while playing in the pond also took it away."

"……Wait a moment."

"Is there anything else, General?"

Zhen Wenjun had a headache and swam to the edge of the bamboo forest. After thinking for a while, he said, "Can you give me the acacia? I don't need it now."

"Okay, I'll go over and give it to you." As she spoke, she wanted to push through the bamboo forest that was in the way, but was stopped by Zhen Wenjun.

"What's wrong?" Wei Tingxu dared to ask.

Of course Zhen Wenjun knew that she did it on purpose, and only hated himself for not being as thick-skinned as her.

"You put it in the bamboo forest, and I will go and get it myself."

"Is it a little far away, can you get it?"

"...I'll get it if you leave!"

After a while, Wei Tingxu's soft laughter came from behind the bamboo forest.

"I won't tease you anymore." The bamboo forest was parted, and Wei Tingxu's hand stretched out from it, and threw the acacia to her.

Zhen Wenjun raised his hand to catch it, and stared back.

"Do you have any countermeasures for the army rushing southward?"

After throwing the acacia locusts, I thought Wei Tingxu should leave, but I didn't expect that instead of leaving, she sat down instead.

"There is no way to deal with it." Zhen Wenjun washed his hair comfortably, and he was quite frank. Boasting that you are sure of winning, otherwise you are deluding yourself.”

"so."

Zhen Wenjun wanted to say something more, but found that the lights behind the bamboo forest were slowly fading away, and Wei Tingxu left.

Why is she asking this?

Zhen Wenjun pondered, could there be some conspiracy?

It is not safe to take a bath.

After taking a bath, Zhen Wenjun was pestered by Xiao Xiao for a long time, and Xiao Xiao showed her the characters he had learned this month and the Yu Ziquan he had practiced.Xiao Xiao's handwriting has improved a lot, at least he can understand what is written, his punches are better, and every move is very precise and powerful.

"Grandmother, how is my fight?" Xiao Xiao ran over with sweat all over his head, waiting to receive compliments.

Zhen Wenjun has long ignored how Xiaoxiao called her: "It is true that I have made great progress, but I can't be complacent. Only by seeing my own shortcomings can I continue to improve."

Xiao Xiao nodded seriously, and applied to sleep with Zhen Wenjun tonight.

"Okay, you can sleep with me tonight, but be honest, don't have a dream about dancing, last time you kicked me in the stomach when I was asleep, I suddenly woke up with pain for a long time."

A Qiong added in time from the side: "You were like this when you were a child, and you have never been honest when you sleep."

"Aunt..."

Xiao Xiao chuckled, went to take a bath quickly, came back to sleep with Zhen Wenjun after taking a bath, hugged Zhen Wenjun's arm and insisted on letting her tell a story.

Storytelling is definitely Zhen Wenjun's forte.Not to mention the countless stories she heard from A Qiong, even the things she has experienced are enough to tell for ten days and ten nights.

Zhen Wenjun picked up a few stories about spies in the war, and Xiao Xiao fell asleep after listening to it, but it reminded Zhen Wenjun of something.

After Xiaoxiao fell asleep, Zhen Wenjun ran to the kitchen and scrambled for a long time. He took out a jar of pickles with a small mouth and a big belly, took out all the pickles inside, washed the jar and carried it to the bathing pool.

In the middle of the night, Zhen Wenjun was not afraid of A Yue or A Qiao looking at the jar with his mouth in his arms.For them, Zhen Wenjun and Wei Tingxu must be bitter couples, and it is reasonable to calculate each other, as long as there is no sign of reconciliation, they will not doubt it, and they will not even report to Li Yanyi.

Carrying jars and shovels to the edge of the bamboo forest, it was already late at night and there was no movement in the secretary's house. Zhen Wenjun listened for a while to make sure no one was there, and then began to dig.He quickly dug a hole and buried the jar in it, then covered the mouth of the jar with a layer of sheepskin, pulled the sheepskin to the tightest and tied it tightly, so as to eavesdrop on the surrounding movement.

Most of the time, when you listen to the urn, you can only hear footsteps in the distance, but Wei Tingxu's bedroom is not far from here, and if you are lucky, you may be able to hear some human voices.

After burying the urn, Zhen Wenjun tried to listen, but nothing happened.

It's so late, they should all be asleep.

Zhen Wenjun was about to get up to leave, when suddenly there was the sound of slapping footsteps on the leather surface, and she immediately lay back on her stomach.

Changning Palace... Empress Dowager... Tomorrow... Carriage...

Zhen Wenjun's neck was about to break before he could vaguely distinguish these words. Wei Tingxu seemed to be talking to someone.

Who would be in her room at this late hour?

Hmm... Either Ah Liao or her spies and secret guards, with Wei Tingxu's character, it is impossible to get so close to someone he just met.Thinking about it this way, Zhen Wenjun doesn't have to worry at all.

In fact, Zhen Wenjun also heard that Empress Dowager Geng held an elegant gathering in the palace and invited many people, but he did not expect that Wei Tingxu was among them.

Wei Tingxu is going to Changning Palace to meet the Queen Mother?How dare she meet the Queen Mother?Could it be that there is another conspiracy?

The invitation card was also sent to Zhuo Jun's mansion. Not many people knew about her just returned to Runing, and she hadn't gone to court to report, so even if she didn't go to Queen Mother Geng, she wouldn't be able to say much about this gathering.

Knowing that Wei Tingxu was going to Zhen Wenjun, she was very curious. She had no interest in this gathering, so she planned to find out.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhen Wenjun sat in the tea room and drank tea—the tea room was the highest place in Zhuo Jun's mansion, and it was able to bring the entire Zhuo Jun mansion and most of the secretary's mansion into view.

When Wei Tingxu came out of the room, Zhen Wenjun slowly retracted the eyes that had been staring at her bedroom door, and continued to observe from the corner of his eye while pretending to drink tea.

"General, so early?" Wei Tingxu asked as he walked on the pontoon bridge.

"Hmm..." Zhen Wenjun replied casually as if he hadn't woken up, Wei Tingxu didn't say any more, and walked into the carriage parked at the door, and Xiaohua got into the carriage together.

After Wei Tingxu's carriage left, Zhen Wenjun quickly went out and got into the carriage, keeping a distance from being noticed, and followed to the Forbidden Garden.

In front of Fengmen, the carriages with various brands stopped in sequence.

Empress Dowager Geng didn't know where the interest came from, and invited girls and wives from various families to appreciate lotus in Changning Palace today.In previous years, this was considered a common occurrence. After all, the emperor's harem is mostly composed of women from various noble families, which will affect the court to some extent.Frequent small gatherings can let the queen mother understand the recent major events in each family, which will help her better control the harem.

Since the empress came to the throne, the elegant thing of tasting tea and enjoying flowers in the back garden has stopped.Today the Empress Dowager suddenly announced that all families came to reward the lotus, and no one dared to neglect.Every family has heard about the female emperor's bad taste in men. Although they dare not speak out, it doesn't mean that they don't have small calculations in their hearts.

The ladies who got off the carriages were more elegant and more luxurious than the last, and it was not surprising that standing out at gatherings had long been one of the important purposes of the ladies.The strange thing is that the young girls who came to Changning Palace today have changed from their softness. Whether it is hair accessories or clothing colors, they are all simple and refined.

Wei Tingxu got off the carriage and looked over as if he saw hundreds of Ah Xin. Ah Liao, who came down behind her, opened his mouth wide and let out a "huh", and immediately opened her folding fan to cover the lower half of her. Opening his face, he and Wei Tingxu gossiped while walking in:

"I don't know whether to say that they are well-informed or stupid. It is true that His Majesty likes Ah Xin, but today they are here to see the Empress Dowager Geng, the one who hates Ah Xin the most! This is not because they are rushing to make eye contact, because they think they are dead. Not fast enough?"

Wei Tingxu smiled, "It saved us a little bit of energy."

Wei Tingxu took off his official uniform today and put on a light-colored long skirt. His already pale face was even more frail after applying some powder, especially Ah Liao, who had delicate lips and was wearing a colorful suit like a peacock. Standing next to her, Wei Tingxu was pale and weak, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a short-lived man.

You Changshi, who was waiting in front of Dingfeng Gate early in the morning, saw Wei Tingxu from a distance, nodded to her, and then said to the wives and ladies:

"This year's lotus blossoms are better than ever. The Empress Dowager specially asked someone to move a pool of the best blooming ones to the Changning Palace. This morning, I ordered my servants to prepare drinks and refreshments, and I am waiting for all the nobles to come and enjoy them." Woolen cloth."

The wives of each family greeted You Changshi with a smile. Zuo Yun is now highly valued by the emperor, so Mrs. Zuo also stood at the head of the crowd, stepped forward and shook You Changshi's hand and said, "We haven't seen the Queen Mother for a while. The old man is gone, I really miss it. Is the Queen Mother still in good health?"

You Changshi felt his sleeves sinking, and he smiled with two rows of white teeth. He was more attentive to Mrs. Zuo: "The queen mother has been resting these few years, and she is in good health. Mrs. Zuo is a caring person, and the queen mother will know."

Mrs. Zuo glanced at Wei Tingxu and A Liao who were very eye-catching behind her, and asked You Changshi: "I have seen that girl from Changsun's family before, but who is that next to her?"

In the early years, Wei Tingxu had been acting as Wei Zizhuo, the youngest son of the Wei family, and no one knew her true identity.Even after becoming an official, he was frail and sickly, and rarely attended the flower gatherings of various families.On the day of the wedding, heavy make-up and a round fan were used to cover the face, which was very different from today.Although she has gained a lot of fame as the first female official of Dayu, only the emperor's officials above the court know her true face.It's normal for the wives of the ministers to be ignorant.

You Changshi followed Madam Zuo's line of sight, lowered his head and said with a smile, "That one is the female companion of Chief Captain Sun."

Wei Tingxu's astonishing face made all the wives present, including Mrs. Zuo, feel a sense of crisis. Now that this beautiful lady is the female companion of the always absurd eldest grandson Ran, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.Although my daughters are all good-looking, but compared with that girl, they feel a bit ashamed, and it would be great if they are not competitors.

The wives naturally knew that His Majesty ordered a hundred men to enter the harem some time ago, probably for the sake of the safety of the heir and the Crown Prince. After all, His Majesty likes women, and the person who will be favored by His Majesty in the end must be a woman.Da Yurong can't offend the daughter of a minister, so there is still a good chance for a noble woman who is beautiful and in line with the emperor's preferences.

Ah Liao glanced around, hid behind the fan and whispered into Wei Tingxu's ear, "I don't look at these ladies well."

Her actions fell into the eyes of the wives of the various families, and it became an act of flirting with Wei Tingxu, and all of them showed contempt for a while.

"The members of the eldest grandson's family are too unseemly. They dare to openly bring her girls who don't know where they came from to the queen mother's flower party."

"I heard that she has a green luan car, which is full of young ladies, and she takes it with her wherever she goes, and she is dissolute and extravagant."

"The absurd things this eldest Sun Ran has done are really countless."

"Did the Son of Heaven actually appoint such a person as Captain of the Mountains and Seas?"

"Hush... No matter how absurd Chang Sun Ran is, don't mention the Son of Heaven."

Hearing these whispers, Wei Tingxu tapped Ah Liao's chin with the round fan in his hand and said, "It seems that the country I described in the mouth of the officials is exactly the same as what you describe in the mouths of their families. You and I are worthy of being confidants."

A Liao put away the folding fan and said "Tsk", "Excuse me."
