The queen is a bit cowardly

Chang Lan was always worried about the affairs of Baili County, and ordered all the staff to speed up their pace, but they really returned to Baili County within two days, and the rabbit sent the message quickly, so the garrison came to welcome them before they reached the city gate. After entering the city, officials from the county greeted them. Chang Lan drove ten bullock carts back and forth, and rewarded the officials on the spot.

Jiang Qingluan and Chang Lan each had their own division of labor. Since it was the county magistrate's business, she didn't worry about it. She was also worried about the military camp, so she rushed to find Bazaar.

When he arrived at the barracks, Jiang Qingluan felt a little strange. In the past, the soldiers were very enthusiastic when they saw him, but today they all put on a straight face. They respected him when they saw him. It's not that enthusiasm is not better than respect, but there are not many soldiers nowadays. , It is easier to manage as one than strictly governing the army.

After handing over the horses to the stablekeeper, Bazaar came out to welcome him. His expression was worse than those of the soldiers. There was hardly a smile on the young man's face. You must know that every time you come back, Bazaar is always the most excited one of.

"My bald eagle, what's the matter with you?" Jiang Qingluan asked, "Which girl made you sad?"

Baza said helplessly, "It's not the girl, it's my grandmother."

Knowing that Nanny Peony was finally going to see her, Jiang Qingluan's heart still warmed up. Although the old nanny had been putting on airs for half a month, if she thought about it carefully, she was by her side and watched her building up, but she was willing to stay upstairs. There are only a few people who still help him after Qing, Ba Le is one, Kong You is one, and the last one is this Sister Peony.

"Mommy, I'm willing to see you alone." Jiang Qingluan said loudly before entering the main tent.

After entering the main tent, I found that my high-profile welcome somewhat did not match the aura in the tent.I saw that the position of the chief was vacant, and there was a woman sitting on the left side of the chief. The woman was wearing a black battle suit today, with a machete beside her, her face was more solemn than the soldiers at the door, and on the right Sitting sideways on Mahler, Baler, who had been snatched from his seat, had a complex expression on his face, but he didn't dare to show his anger. Then he saw Hei Guang and Yang Fei sitting in the lower seat. Everyone looked serious, which made Jiang Qingluan Hold your smiling face.

It's not that she doesn't know what kind of person Mudan is, she is her mother's accompanying mother, she takes care of her mother's life, and also accompanies her mother to practice knives. , Mudan went back to the Sun Grassland, married to the Tata Department, and later saw Mudan at a Naadam meeting. She had a child on her back, but she was competing with men to catch sheep. She was so majestic. Such a woman Walking there is awe-inspiring.

"Longevity bless." Seeing Jiang Qingluan, Peony prostrated respectfully on the ground.

"Longevity bless."

In fact, people naturally became more honest, and saluted Jiang Qingluan one after another.

Jiang Qingluan also lowered her face. Since she wanted to follow the royal court's set of etiquette, she didn't mind. When she walked up to the chairman, Jiang Qingluan raised her hand: "Everyone rises."

Everyone thanked them and sat up straight, as if waiting for the king's order.

Changing to such a painting style suddenly, Jiang Qingluan still felt a little uncomfortable. Clearing her throat, she said to Mudan: "Finally, I am willing to see you alone. Bless you, Changshengtian, you actually crossed Fushan in the extreme winter."

Mudan said more politely, "It's all thanks to your Majesty."

Mudan stayed in the Pioneer Camp before, and the two brothers Heiguang and Heiming were mainly entertainers. She asked Heiguang, "Do you want an old lady who takes good care of me?"

Hei Guang glanced at Peony, with an indescribable expression on his face. The old mama was so close to becoming handsome on her own, she just replied: "The old mama has high morals, so naturally she will treat her with all her strength."

Since the occasion revealed a formal and solemn atmosphere, Jiang Qingluan didn't need to drag her parents any more. She asked Mudan, "Mama risked her life to come back, but what news did she bring back?"

"I won't talk about trivial matters. I will arrange and deal with small matters," Mudan said in a serious voice, "but there is one important matter that needs to be discussed with His Highness."

The big event that Peony thinks must be extremely important.

"I'm all ears."

Peony said, just a few simple words, but with a strong voice.

"Niandong County is willing to submit to His Highness."

Like a bomb that blew up the entire main tent, the expressions of all the people in the audience were also different. Baler's eyes were staring like fifteen moons. After staring at him, he went back steadily, Hua Mo was a little more stable, but he couldn't help but leaned forward.

In Niandong County, Jiang Qingluan heard this name from three different people recently, but she was not as excited as others at this time, and asked instead: "Is what the mother said true? Wei Xin really wants to surrender?"

"Naturally, I stayed with Wei Zi for a month and made many investigations. He really wants to be loyal to His Highness."

"I'm so down, he's willing to lead the city to surrender, ma'am, are you sure it's not a fraud?" Jiang Qingluan's biggest growth in Tianping's past five years is becoming more cautious. Gambling is not impossible, it depends on how big the bet is, and the cards in hand Exactly how good it is.

"Wei Zi once had a relationship with a court lady in Jiangcheng. The family only said that he broke the rules and gave him the punishment of stabbing him in the face. The previous king thought that the young people were in love with each other, and it was not a big mistake. He made excuses and spared Wei. However, it can protect Wei Zi, but it can’t control Jiang Cheng, and the court lady was punished by the wrist and died not long after."

Jiang Qingluan didn't say anything about it, but although her parents were married, they had a very good relationship. Her father ruled the country with benevolence, and she expected to stand up for this kind of thing.

"Oh, that's not right!" Ba Le came to his senses and asked, "Wei Zi is Wei Xin, Wei Ji's father!"

Jiang Qingluan knew about this, so she was not surprised. She looked at Mudan, and the nun nodded calmly, and replied, "Exactly."

"Your Highness, you can't do it!" Ba Le got up, and said: "That woman has a heart of snakes and scorpions, she is just a chess piece of Jiang Cheng, and her father must not be a good thing!"

"Nonsense," Mudan turned to Jiang Qingluan and said, "Wei Ji grew up in Lord Fuyang's house and was never taught by her father. What does she have to do with that Wei Zi?"

"Unless he offers his daughter's head, I won't believe it." Balak said stubbornly.

If she hadn't met Kong You before, perhaps she and Ba Le had the same attitude at this time. The fact that she was deposed was not caused by Wei Ji, but Wei Ji was the last straw that overwhelmed her. Having fun with the general every day, all these words came from the mouth of Wei Ji.

"It's a big problem, but you can stay in Niandong City for a month, and you can bring back all the things you spy on. I think Wei Zi is sincere." Jiang Qingluan believes in the sincerity of the other party, but she is at a very stage right now. It seems that talking about conditions will make people more trustworthy: "However, welcoming me back is a full-fledged matter. Besides wanting to be loyal to my father, does he have other requests?"

Mudan hasn't seen Jiang Qingluan for many years. In her memory, she is an extremely smart girl. She learns very fast whether it is academics or martial arts. Three points of arrogance, arrogance makes people arrogant, and arrogance makes people blind. This is the beginning of Jiang Qingluan's dismissal.He heard Bazaar say that Jiang Qingluan was no longer what he used to be, but he didn't expect that he was much more cautious.

"Wei Zi does have expectations in his heart." Peony looked at Jiang Qingluan, but the expression on her face was a little elusive.

"The lion opened his mouth?" Jiang Qingluan asked.

Peony laughed heartily, and replied: "His wish is satisfied, it depends on what His Highness is going to do."

"Gu has no soldiers, no food and no wealth at this time, if he is allowed to be the third prince, it is not a problem," Jiang Qingluan said: "It's just that if you paint cakes like this, I'm afraid it will appear lonely and even more insincere."

"You two don't play tricks here, just say, what do you want, what can make him hand over the city." Ba Le was a little anxious.

"Mother, just say it straight, if you can make this happen, you will be willing to give it to anyone who is alone."

Although Niandong County is not big, according to the school captain, there are not many subordinate soldiers, but according to her understanding of Fudi, Niandong County is actually closer to Fuyin County. As a support point, it would not be difficult to win Fuyang County, and it would be supported by Xin Guo.

Mudan nodded: "Your Majesty is wise, Wei Zi shows his sincerity and apology, and is willing to let the young girl marry you again."

"..." Jiang Qingluan froze for a moment, saying that he was thinking of the old kindness, but in fact it was wishful thinking. Under normal circumstances, if it is a male monarch, the purpose of offering a daughter is to give birth to an heir, but the purpose of the female monarch's intermarriage is to transfer the royal power. Wei Xin's young daughter, that means the next King Fu will come from the Wei family.

"I'm afraid Fu Guo has to change his surname." Ba Le said, "Do you want to change your heir with just a small county?"

Mudan still had an unhurried expression: "I didn't say that I will immediately reserve."

"If you marry that daughter, won't you tell the world about the succession?" Ba Le said to Jiang Qingluan again: "Your Highness must not."

Jiang Qingluan naturally knew it was wrong, besides, there was only one master in her Fu Kingdom's harem, and she would absolutely not allow anyone else to get involved!

"Let's discuss this matter again."

"Is Your Highness unhappy?" Mudan asked, with a strong air of refusing to give in: "Wei Zi said that he only expressed his sincerity and apology, and if he is really ambitious, all my ministries will naturally cut him down for Your Highness."

Nanny Mudan raised her eyes again and said, "It's better than giving up the territory of Fu Kingdom to Chang."

Jiang Qingluan finally knew what Mudan meant. He was afraid that Chang Lan had meddled too much in Baili County, but without Chang Lan, Jiang Qingluan would have lost his arm, no, he would have lost half his life.

"Mommy, His Majesty lent me the land." Jiang Qingluan tried not to put the conflict on Chang Lan.

"I lent it to you, wouldn't you enshrine it?" Nanny Mudan replied, "It's just a transaction of equal value. This Baili County should still be the Baili County of Fu Kingdom."

Nanny Mudan came back with a lot of information and olive branches from Niandong County. This should have been a happy thing, but at this moment, she just felt devastated!

The author has something to say: Your Highness: My God, I dare not tell my daughter-in-law about this
