The cold plum blooms angrily, and the dark fragrance is full of movement.After the new year, the Nanzhao harem is peaceful and peaceful, and the joy is harmonious.However, the previous dynasty did not have the same leisure time as the harem. Although the good news came in the third day of junior high school, the Nanzhao Emperor's joy only lasted until the Lantern Festival.

On the day of restoration, Emperor Nanzhao received an urgent military report from the Jianghuai Heisha Army.The Huaijiang River is the border of Nantang Zuoyu, adjacent to Zuohuai.Zuo Huai's reign was diligent and clear, and a series of government reforms made Zuo Huai's national strength flourish.Zuohuai borders the Huaijiang River at the top and the Yangjiang River at the bottom. Although it is a fertile land, the territory is small, and the borders on both sides are on the banks of the river. Whenever there is a flood, the national strength will be seriously damaged. Therefore, the Zuohuai monarch set his sights on Nantang, which is separated by a river and located in the same fertile land.

Nantang is well aware of Zuo Huai's ambitions, so he has always stationed the powerful Heisha Army along the Huai River, and the two armies have been confronting each other for a long time.When the army is stationed for a long time, it is impossible to completely rely on the rear supply for food and grass, and part of it has to be collected from the local people. Moreover, the army has been stationed for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be deliberate price suppression and robbery when collecting food and grass.If the weather is good and the harvest is good, it will be fine, but the sand in the upper reaches of the Huaijiang River will accumulate, and the Huaijiang River will easily endanger both sides of the river during heavy rains. The Zuohuai River will suffer, and Nantang is also unavoidable.Therefore, the folks on the Huaijiang River in Nantang have already complained in secret, but who dares to say more about the heavy army on their heads?

The summer of the year before last was full of torrential rains, and this year's rainfall was the worst in the past ten years.The hard-earned food on both sides of the Huai River was destroyed overnight, and the people were displaced and homeless.Those who have relatives in other places leave their hometowns to seek refuge, but there are still many ancestors who live in the local area, and they do not want to leave their homeland and can only linger around.Nantang is located in the hinterland of China, surrounded by large countries and small counties. There are constant battles, and most of the treasury revenue is used for military supplies. Although there are disaster relief measures for the Huaijiang flood disaster, the treasury is empty, and the food and money allocated are not much. Exploitation from top to bottom is not enough for a meal in the hands of the people.The summer and autumn seasons are good, and the local people can still find some weeds and bark to feed their hunger. When the winter is cold and the grass is exhausted, they don’t even have to eat the weeds and bark, and there is no house to escape the cold. At this time, they actually gathered in front of the military fortress where the Heisha army was stationed, and asked to share food and houses for the winter.

Where is the military fortress that ordinary people can enter whenever they want?The commander-in-chief of the Heisha army ordered the gate to be sealed, but he did not restrain the people gathered under the gate.It went on like this for a few days, when a passing Jianghu visitor saw that the people in the fortress were in ragged clothes, all of them were sallow and emaciated from hunger. On the neck of the lieutenant on duty, forcing him to open the door and let the victims into the city.

One person is hard to beat with four palms, not to mention that Jiang Hu broke into the army alone?The quack was eventually shot on top of the wall.When he died, everyone was watching under the wall, and the victims had long held grievances, and the people's anger was aroused for a while, and the victims took the shovel they usually used to plow the plow and began to attack the gate.The defenders of Heisha originally planned to ignore it, but unexpectedly, more and more people gathered, and the situation began to be overwhelmed.The commander-in-chief was also annoyed at this time, and he was afraid that things would get worse and sent back to Du Ling. Emperor Nanzhao found out that they had seized people's food and other things, embezzled food and grass, and ordered the archers on the wall to shoot arrows at the disaster victims.

Commander Heisha originally thought that those disaster victims were mobs, as long as they fired random arrows, they would naturally retreat when they were afraid.No one expected that soldiers from Zuo Huai were mixed among the victims.These soldiers all dressed up as victims of the disaster, and encouraged the victims to continue to attack, while secretly sending the news back to Zuo Huai.At this moment, Commander Heisha's mind was on the victims, and it was too late when the Zuohuai army crossed the river at night and appeared in front of the Great Wall without anyone noticing.

The Zuohuai army came prepared, and the Heisha army rushed to meet the enemy. Although they fought hard to block this wave of Zuohuai raids, they suffered a lot of damage.Now the victims who originally asked for food and housing have been classified as mobs. Commander Heisha was furious, and after repelling the Zuohuai army, he sent a report to the hall, demanding that the local mobs be killed, so as to serve as an example and establish national prestige.

Speaking of suppressing the mob, it was a matter of course, and Emperor Nanzhao approved it after a little investigation.The bad thing is that the Zuohuai incident caused a lot of trouble, and it spread throughout Nantang within ten days due to the spread of it by those who cared.There are garrisons on the border of Nantang, and the situation is similar to that of the Zuohuai River.Emperor Nanzhao agreed to kill the mob, which really chilled the hearts of the people everywhere. At one time, rebels rose from all over the place, and the left side was destroyed and the right came again. This annoyed Emperor Nanzhao to deal with state affairs in his study day and night, and he rarely had the time and mood to come to the harem.

Emperor Nanzhao did not enter the harem, and the concubines in the harem lost the focus of relying on them in the past, and walked around more diligently to pass the time.Now Su Lingyu is the most glorious person in the harem, so naturally everyone runs towards her from time to time.Su Lingyu couldn't bear the disturbance, so she simply moved into Yufeng Palace without moving, and completely pushed Jun Yihuang out as a shield.

Su Lingyu is a permanent resident, how could Yufeng Palace be as clean as it used to be.At the beginning, the servants and maids in the palace were not used to it. They checked each of them in detail as if facing an enemy, but later they were tired. They knew who should block, who should report, and who should not be asked. As long as the two masters were free, they could Lead directly to the guest room.

Fu Liuying came several times, and each time she stayed for quite a long time, she was naturally classified as the last category by the people of Yufeng Palace.The weather was fine that day, so Fu Liuying brought her maid over early in the morning, and went directly to the guest room to wait without the help of the palace guards. But after a while, Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu appeared in the guest room with a smile on her face.

The three of them had seen the ceremony, and Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu felt that Fu Liuying's expression was quite unusual today, when she saw the ceremony several times, she seemed hesitant to speak.Su Lingyu knew that Fu Liuying must have something to say, thinking that she was hindering the maid in the palace, so it was difficult for her to speak, so after the maid served the tea, Su Lingyu waved people to leave, and waited again. After a while, she saw that Fu Liuying neither waved away the maid she had brought, nor did she intend to speak.

Both of them are strange, because this is Yufeng Palace, Fu Liuying is a guest, even if she wants to keep someone to serve her, she is still a maid in Yufeng Palace.Normally when Fu Liuying came here, she would send the maid out to play after entering the guest room, not to mention that today she clearly had something to say, and it seemed difficult to say it, so why did she keep the maid by her side?

Even if Fu Liuying wanted to make a mistake, she would not be so stupid as to do it in the guest room surrounded by maids.Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu hadn't figured it out yet, but she didn't expect the maid standing behind Fu Liuying to walk into the hall, bent her knees, and knelt heavily on the hall.

Both Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu were startled, not understanding what was going on.But after the maid raised her head, the two of them came to their senses immediately, and the eyes they looked at Fu Liuying suddenly became a little colder.

The maid was dressed no differently from the other maids, and she was standing with her head bowed all the time. Jun Yihuang and the two of them didn't pay attention to it before.But even though the maid is covered in light makeup, she has a lotus face with peach blossom cheeks, apricot eyes like water, bright red lips, and a soft and beautiful appearance. The only shortcoming is that her face is extremely white with rice powder, which still can't completely cover the lower half of her face. The looming patterns of flowers and plants on the face.

Fu Liuying also stood up hastily at this moment, made a big salute, and stammered: "Concubine Shu, concubine Ning Gui, this... this... that... concubine..." He hesitated for a while, but didn't say a whole sentence. speak out.

Jun Yihuang narrowed her phoenix eyes, looked at the two of them back and forth with a teacup in her hand, and said indifferently, "What is Concubine Jing doing? Dressing up like this and entering Yufeng Palace, you will lose your status as Concubine Jing. If you want to come, you can send a message to the door, why should you be so wronged?"

"This... Concubine Shu. Hey, Concubine Ning! Concubine Jing is...not a concubine who deliberately deceived her, it's really... Please Concubine Ning help her!" Fu Liuying obviously wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to do. Speaking of which, she was so nervous that the silk in her hand was tied up, and then frightened by Jun Yihuang's sudden concubine Shu's airs, her body softened and knelt on the ground, her eye circles immediately turned red.

"Concubine Shu, concubine Ning Gui, please don't blame Mrs. Fu. Mrs. Fu's face is gentle and kind, and my concubine begged again and again. Fu Gui felt sorry for her, so I agreed to let my concubine come with her as a maid." In Yufeng Palace." Xia Ruoqing saw Su Lingyu frowned slightly, and didn't wait for Su Lingyu's words, showing a wry smile on her face, and continued: "I know, if I come to Yufeng Palace by handing in the greeting card, Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning Gui will definitely not see concubines."

Jun Yihuang sneered, with a look of surprise on her face: "Why did Concubine Jinggui say this? Could it be that this palace blames me for not knowing how to treat guests? Besides, Concubine Jinggui is only second to this palace, and is the same as Concubine Ninggui. Simultaneously, how can you kneel down and salute? In winter, the ground is freezing and hurting your body, so please Concubine Jing get up first. If you have anything to do, just sit down and talk about it in detail."

Having said that, Jun Yihuang was still sitting on the chair, not intending to get close to Xia Ruoqing to help him up, her eyes were full of vigilance, carefully observing every move of Xia Ruoqing, thinking about each one in her heart.Xia Ruoqing is kneeling at this moment, if she calls Gong'e in immediately, the news will spread out in the future, the palace often spreads rumors, and in the end it may be of no benefit to herself.But Jun Yihuang has been in the harem for more than ten years, and knows all kinds of methods in the palace, and she is really afraid of Xia Ruoqing in her heart, she doesn't want to get close to Xia Ruoqing's side and let her take half a chance, she only hopes to use words to coax people first Get up, call a few more servants to come in, and send them away.

What kind of person Xia Ruoqing is, how can she not guess what Jun Yihuang meant, not only did her knees not move when she heard this, but her hands were folded in front of her, her forehead touched the ground, and she performed a very solemn national salute.

Jun Yihuang and Su Lingyu exchanged glances, both feeling a little headache.The two of them never thought that Xia Ruoqing would enter the Yufeng Palace, and even if they did, they would probably do so aggressively to avenge their father.However, thousands of calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Now people not only come, but also put on such a soft posture, people can't get close, persuade or catch up. For a while, I really feel a little bit helpless.
