Empress and Empress

When Yuan Xingye rushed to Zichen Hall, He Di was standing in front of the window, holding the military report just now in his hand.

Originally, Yuan Xingye was playing chess with Xia Zimo, and when it was difficult to separate, Zhang Ping trotted all the way to say that Emperor He had summoned him.Yuan Xingye was very surprised. Emperor He had never summoned any of his concubines these days, so why did he suddenly---

The smile on Xia Zimo's face disappeared, and he dropped the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard and asked, "I don't know that the emperor summoned him suddenly---"

"This---" Zhang Ping was a little embarrassed, "You two ladies, the emperor only summoned Yuan Xiurong after reading the military newspaper."

Hearing this, Xia Zimo's complexion improved a lot.Zhang Ping secretly said, "Sure enough, women's jealousy is really strong." But he didn't know that Yuan Xingye was not what Xia Zimo was jealous of.

Seeing Yuan Xingye, He Di handed her the military report in his hand.These days, because Yuan Xingye has been named Marshal, every time the military newspaper is written, someone will copy it for her.Yuan Xingye also had a certain understanding of the battle ahead.

She took the military newspaper.

She didn't lose her composure like Li Mi and He Di, she was still calm and indifferent.

"Youzhou was lost, and the dog army occupied Youzhou. After losing Youzhou, there is a flat plain behind, and now---" He Di smiled wryly. "The current situation can be said to be extremely dangerous. Now we can only hope that the Quanrong will not invade Youzhou after occupying Youzhou this year, otherwise the people on the border of Youzhou will be in danger."

"Your Majesty, I request you to rush to Youzhou." Yuan Xingye said.

"How can you recover by yourself? But now there is no other way. I originally hoped that you could go to Youzhou in the next year, but now it is impossible. Pei Shiyuan, he has let me down so much."

Yuan Xingye did not intercede for Pei Shiyuan. This fault was meant to be borne by tempting people. It wasn't Pei Shiyuan or someone else. Besides, according to the military newspaper, it was Pei Shiyuan who sent troops without authorization, which left Youzhou empty and gave Quan Rong an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"I will transfer another [-] troops to you, and the Ministry of Households will allocate the military supplies and food to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I want to go to the border alone. The [-] army ministers hope to be led by Luo Yan and rush to the border after the minister."

"Precise play."

Yuan Xingye returned to Changchun Palace, Xia Zimo was still waiting for her to finish the second half of the game.A game of chess fell, and Xia Zimo lost two words.

"What are you thinking?" Although Yuan Xingye's chess skills have always been much better than Xia Zimo's, Xia Zimo still lost just now when she had deliberately released the water, and he could only say that he was absent-minded.

"It's nothing. If you want to rush to Youzhou, there must be a good sign. You can't lose chess on the first day." Xia Zimo laughed.

Knowing that Xia Zimo would guess, Yuan Xingye was not too surprised. "I thought Pei Shi would be able to defend the city on a long excursion, but I didn't expect Youzhou to fall. Fortunately, the army was led out of the city without much loss, and the dog army did not slaughter the city."

"It is God's will that you leave earlier," Xia Zimo said. "How long will you fight this battle?"

"Before Youzhou falls, I am sure it will end within a year, but I dare not say so now. Besides, I need time to grasp the military power of the Northern Army." With military power, there is a price to negotiate, so there is no need to go back In this cage.

Xia Zimo messed up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one. Just as Yuan Xingye was about to speak, he heard someone outside shouting, "Imperial decree arrives---"

The elongated tone heralded Yuan Xingye's departure.Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye went out together to receive the order, and Zhang Ping read in a long voice, "By God, the emperor ordered that Marshal Yuan Xingye, who protects the country, go to Youzhou to lead the army the next day, and withdraw the dog soldiers to strengthen my great power. this!"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

After receiving the imperial decree, Zhang Ping said again, "Yuan Xiurong is a talented person from Xia. The emperor ordered that tonight, a banquet will be held in the Zichen Hall for Yuan Xiurong to practice."

Yuan Xingye nodded to express his understanding.He said in his mouth, "Boss Zhang has a heart."

"Where is it, Xiurong, you want to go to the front line to contribute to the country, so you are really a villain." Zhang Ping said.After she left, Xia Zimo also packed up his things and planned to return to Hanxiang Hall.After all, Yuan Xingye was leaving, and if she stayed here tonight, someone might notice her.

Yuan Xingye didn't say anything, and helped Xia Zimo clean up.

At night, Zichen Palace.

Yuan Xingye, as the protagonist, naturally sits next to Emperor He. On the other side of Emperor He are the empress and the fourth concubine. Xia Zimo and the other concubines are not far away. The distance is not far or close, so you can't hear Emperor He and the others. Talk, but you can clearly see everyone's face.

Xia Zimo still remembered the first day she and Yuan Xingye met, and it was the same kind of banquet. On that day, Yuan Xingye walked slowly to the front of the hall with a sapphire flute pinned to his waist in a luxurious dress.That day, she was followed by four personal soldiers with long swords hanging from their waists, their faces were indifferent, and there was a kind of sadness in the eyes of a hero.

The acquaintance and friendship afterwards seemed to be a dream.Xia Zimo laughed at Yan Yan, and kept drinking with the people around her. She still remembered that the two of them were several meters away from each other, holding a glass of wine respectfully.Xia Zimo looked at Yuan Xingye and found that the wine glass was raised by the other party. Although the wine glass was facing the direction of the queen, his eyes were looking at him.

Raise your glass and drink it all down.

In less than a year, although nothing has changed, this person can finally fulfill his dream.The eagle naturally wants to fly, and it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.

The banquet was almost over. Although Xia Zimo had a good capacity for alcohol, she felt a little drunk. When she returned to Hanxiang Palace, she asked someone to bring wine, then sent everyone to sleep, and sat alone in the palace to drink. discretionary.

Suddenly, the wine glass in her hand was snatched away, Xia Zimo raised her head, Yuan Xingye put down the wine glass, and said softly, "Go to sleep, you drank a lot tonight."

Xia Zimo raised the corners of his mouth, picked up the wine glass again, and filled it up for himself.

"This first cup, I wish you to retire from the military and protect the country, and be admired by thousands of people." Drink it in one gulp.

"This second cup, I wish you the support of all the officials and the support of the generals, the name of the famous general will be proved, and the name will last forever." He took a sip.

"This third cup, I wish you—never come back here—"

"Don't drink it." Yuan Xingye snatched Xia Zimo's wine. "I'm leaving tomorrow, so you're just telling me this?" Seeing that Xia Zimo's hair was a little disheveled, she reached out and pulled out the Bu Yao from her head, and her black hair instantly fell apart.

"Is that all you really want to say to me?"

Xia Zimo was stunned, and Yuan Xingye's face became more and more clear in the candlelight.She looked at Xia Zimo with a kind of tenderness that Xia Zimo had never seen before.
