General Raiders

, if it were my mother, she would definitely lend a helping hand. "

"It's true, the eldest princess has always been merciful." Li Chengfeng smiled and talked about a past event: "I remember when the old slave first entered the palace, he broke the rules and was punished by the chief steward at that time. I couldn't bear it, and begged for mercy on behalf of the old slave."

"So, my father-in-law mentioned Yunxi again and again, and Yunxi understood." Yunxi gratefully held Li Chengfeng's hand.

"The kindness of dripping water should be repaid by the spring." Li Chengfeng said with emotion, "Your Majesty should never get involved in the affairs of the harem again. Concubine Zhou is a powerful person. Today, even Concubine Xu and His Highness the Crown Prince will not say anything about it." In a word, it's better for Master Hou to stay away from her."

"It's...it's too late."

Yunxi recalled the look in Concubine Zhou's eyes when she left in the Imperial Garden. He told the truth for Mu Chengze and made Mu Chengpei punished. Concubine Zhou definitely hated him to the bone.

Li Chengfeng said with a sad face, "What should I do?"

Yun Xi blinked her eyes: "There is a saying that when soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up. Let's see what she has to do next, but so many people in Yongshou Palace have been killed with sticks, she should be embarrassed for a while to me, isn't it?"

Li Chengfeng was startled, then smiled and said, "Master Hou is really calculating."

Yun Xi proudly said: "That is. I don't even bother to use it for ordinary people."

7. birthday

Back at the Hou Mansion, Yun Xi was a little tired, Lan Xuan, Lan Fei and Zhao Yun surrounded her.Lan Xuan has been resting at home for the past few months, and her face has become a bit mellow, and Lan Fei made a good joke when she saw it. Although Lan Xuan is gentle, it is rare for her to lose her temper, chasing Lan Fei and hammering non-stop.Zhao Yun was dull, wanting to stop but felt abrupt.The weather was still warm, Yunxi didn't have the time to visit the newly repaired mansion, so someone moved a chair out and sat in the yard, propped up her chin and stared at the three of them in a daze.

Yun Xi suddenly said: "Lan Xuan, Lan Fei, how many years have you been in the mansion, how old are you this year?"

Lan Xuan stopped and said with a smile: "Young master, why did you forget? Lan Fei and I were chosen by the Eldest Princess to enter the mansion for ten years. I am sixteen this year, and Lan Fei is fifteen."

Yun Xi stayed for a while and said: "It's been ten years...Then, has anyone in your family promised you?"

Lan Xuan blushed and shook her head.Lan Fei was uncharacteristically eloquent, and said with a blushing face, "I have a childhood sweetheart, a scholar brother, surnamed Wang. I have already agreed with him that my family will propose marriage in two years."

Lan Fei's face was full of shyness.But Yun Xi knew that Wang Sheng was not a good person. In her last life, Lan Fei suffered a lot when she got married, and this time she must not let the little girl marry the wrong one again.

Because Lan Fei had a lot of trust in Wang Sheng, it might not be appropriate to say it directly.Yun Xi thought for a while, and said: "I haven't seen the person you mentioned. Whenever you let him come, I will palm your eyes for you, young master."

"Listen to the young master." Lan Fei happily agreed.Although she didn't know what Yun Xi was thinking, but calling Wang Sheng into the mansion, maybe the young master would reward him with an errand if he was satisfied, it would be better than running outside all day.

Yun Xi said to Lan Xuan again: "Do you have someone you like? If not, how about I tell you about a relationship, young master?"

Zhao Yun hurried forward, desperately looking at Yun Xi.Lan Xuan lowered her head and stirred the handkerchief in her hand, hesitating whether to speak out first.

Yun Xi pretended not to see it, and said, "I think Zhang Shun in the mansion is pretty good."

It turns out that the housekeeper of the General's Mansion is old and has gone back to his hometown to retire.Zhang Shun was newly invited by Yunxi, he is very capable and handsome.

Zhao Yun groaned for a long time, and finally said: "Zhang Shun can't do it. He...he has only been with the young master for a short time, and he hasn't fought a war, so he can't."

Yun Xi wondered: "This is to choose a son-in-law for Lan Xuan, if Lan Xuan thinks it is suitable, what are you talking about fighting?"

Lan Xuan blushed and whispered, "I... want to be able to fight."

"Oh." Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and said intentionally, "It seems that no one in this mansion knows how to fight except the young master and me."

"Yes!" Zhao Yun couldn't help being wronged, "Why does the young master always forget me!"

Yun Xi laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and folded his hands with Lan Xuan's: "Zhao Yun, I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time. Lan Xuan, if you don't object, young master, I will I will give you the one who knows how to fight."

Only then did Lan Xuan realize that he was just probing, so she blushed to her ears, lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Then I, I will also listen to the young master..."

Yun Xi smiled, and said bluntly: "Zhao Yun has been with me for many years, and he has already saved up to marry a wife. There is no one else in his family, so I made this decision for him, choose a good one. Go to your house to propose marriage!"

Lan Xuan glared at Zhao Yun shyly, stomped her feet and ran away.Zhao Yun stayed where he was, his face was red.Yun Xi pushed him, pouted in the direction of Lan Xuan's escape: "Idiot, hurry up!"

"I...she..." Zhao Yun was incoherent for a while, his excitement was beyond words, he just knelt down and kowtowed happily to Yunxi, got up and went after Lan Xuan.

Yun Xi stood and watched from a distance for a while, he was too dull in his last life, never realized that Zhao Yun liked Lan Xuan.Because he took Zhao Yun to fight in the east and west, and came back one year after the war, only to find that Lan Xuan was married.Zhao Yun was lost for a long time, and he told Yun Xi before he died that he missed Lan Xuan very much.Now it seems that Lan Xuan is not ruthless towards Zhao Yun, but in his previous life Zhao Yun was dull-tempered and failed to confess in time, which caused the two of them to miss each other.

Since they were both wishful thinking in this life, Yunxi would naturally be the big matchmaker. With Zhao Yun taking care of Lan Xuan, Lan Xuan would not die in depression.

There has been no movement in the palace for the past few days, and since Yun Xi came back from her leave, she began to formally go to the court to listen to the government.There has been no war in the country recently, and he mostly just listens in on other government affairs without saying a word.Besides, he had been praised by Mu Ziyue several times before, and no one in the court who was short-sighted dared to openly oppose him. They all said that Marquis Anle had made great achievements in battle, and now he is in a high position, but he is extremely humble.

There was only one time when the minister of the Ministry of Rites was getting old and wanted to return home. Mu Ziyue asked the courtiers to recommend a new candidate for the minister. The prince Mu Chenghong and the third prince Mu Chengluo tried their best to put their confidantes in this important position. , a moment of dispute, Mu Ziyue casually asked Yun Xi's opinion.

Yun Xi curled her lips into a smile: "I only know how to fight, and I don't know much about your lords. But since His Royal Highness and the Third Highness express their opinions, why not ask the Fourth Highness if there is a suitable candidate?"

He seemed to say it casually, and the fourth prince Mu Chengjun, who wanted to be behind the scenes, was almost fainted by him, but Mu Ziyue really asked, which made the prince and the third prince look at the fourth prince frequently that morning.Mu Chengjun was sitting on pins and needles, and fell ill after hearing that he returned home.

Yun Xi lacked interest, it seemed that the Fourth Prince was not very good as an emperor, and even his fighting power at this moment was extremely weak.

An Lehou had never been involved in prince disputes, this time he openly mentioned the fourth prince in public, the courtiers naturally had to take a closer look.We must know that the emperor now trusts An Lehou quite a lot. Could it be that this implies the emperor's meaning that he prefers the fourth prince to the prince or the third prince?

The crown prince and the third prince were also muttering in their hearts, so several groups of people came to Anlehou's mansion all of a sudden to inquire about the news, Yun Xi only said that she just said it on a whim.At this time, the eyeliners who were placed elsewhere in the mansion came in handy. They were all very sure that An Lehou and the fourth prince would never interact. I am sure that An Lehou is not the fourth prince, but the two of them have kept an eye on Mu Chengjun since then, and Yunxi has indirectly reminded them.

In the dispute between the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the crown prince took the lead in the end.Yun Xi just smiled, he knew that the battle between the crown prince and the third prince was still very long, and he hadn't made a decision yet.Going around in a circle always came back to the same problem that caused him a lot of headaches. Mu Ziyue's six living princes, the prince and the third prince were not satisfactory, the fourth prince had to be kicked out, the sixth prince was disabled, and the imperial garden The dispute made him think less of the Seventh Prince's mother and son... Could it be that he can only choose the Fifth Prince in the end?

Yun Xi thinks about the evaluation of the fifth prince Mu Chenghuan by the people in the previous life, saying that he is simple and honest is flattering him, he is a heartless master, usually loves flowers, birds, fish and insects, and has no threat to the fourth prince after he ascended the throne , the fourth prince is also happy to show him some favors, so the fifth prince is much smoother than the other princes...

Yun Xi also doubted whether Mu Chenghuan was pretending to be stupid, but Mu Chenghuan's biological mother and Mu Chengjun's biological mother had similar positions at the moment, and Mu Ziyue was also favored from time to time, with the fourth prince in front, the crown prince and the third prince The prince will not do anything to the fifth prince in his spare time. There is really no need for the fifth prince to deliberately pretend... It can only be said that the fifth prince really has such a heart.If such a prince really stands, the situation in the court will be delicate, perhaps even more chaotic than when the fourth prince was emperor, Yun Xi frowned, as if he could understand the helplessness of Mu Ziyue in the previous life before his death.

If everything goes wrong, there will naturally be things that go well.Yun Xi matched Zhao Yun and Lan Xuan together, and these days she is also busy arranging for Zhao Yun to go to Lan Xuan's house to propose marriage.Zhao Yun has followed Yunxi for many years, and is also a brother and friend. Yunxi will not treat him lightly, and Zhao Yun himself is also an upright person. With his military exploits on the battlefield these years, he also has the title of a sixth-rank captain.Yunxi found a fortune teller to make a fortune, and personally led Zhao Yun to the door of Lan Xuan's house. Lan Xuan's family was too late to be happy because of the word of mouth in advance, so she agreed on the spot.It's just that Lan Xuan still wanted to take care of Yunxi for a while, so the wedding date was set in two years' time, and Zhao Yun was only happy, so she agreed.

Yun Xi also forgot about one important matter on her mind, and she has not had two days to relax. After the court this morning, Mu Ziyue deliberately left him behind, saying that the imperial concubine Xu's birthday is approaching, and Yun Xi understands
