Donggong Zhangjiao

Dark clouds were surging everywhere in the harem, but Fang Yun didn't care.

The next day happened to be Pei Yao's day to take a bath. The two of them had a good sleep comfortably in Jingqian Palace. They were woken up by the servants when the time came.

Get up and have breakfast together.

"Go and say hello to the queen, and come to the imperial study to study ink for me. I still have some papers to approve in the morning, not many."

Pei Yao put a crystal shrimp dumpling into Fang Yun's bowl and said softly.

"Okay." Fang Yun smiled.

After breakfast, we set off to Fengxuan Palace.

Yanwei was waiting at the side and said happily, "The Emperor has your Majesty in his heart. He just stayed overnight yesterday, and today he asked your Majesty to take care of the pen and ink. It shows that he wants to stay with her."

"You're such a bad-mouthed girl, you're still teasing me." Fang Yun's eyebrows were lightly curved.

Xin Xin said that her performance yesterday could not be in vain. Naturally, she wanted Pei Yao to feel more sorry for her, the better.

Although he was very drunk, it was only a few glasses of bayberry wine. How could he be so drunk that he was completely confused?

She just used the pretext of being drunk to portray herself as a poor and weak woman who had an unfortunate childhood and faced difficulties after leaving the court. She had two children and no one to rely on except Pei Yao.

Now the Queen and Concubine Yang are both pregnant, and she was told by the imperial doctor that she might not be able to get pregnant again due to her injuries.

It’s human nature to be afraid of losing favor and attention, isn’t it?
How can it not make people feel sad for a beautiful woman who is afraid of being abandoned when she sheds so few tears?

In particular, Pei Yao had feelings for her.

Why do this play?
Because she is such a good woman, any problems with Concubine Yang's fetus in the future will definitely have nothing to do with her.

After all, the small kitchen was set aside for Concubine Yang alone.

Of course, these words are all in my heart and no one will say them.

Acting naturally becomes more and more real the more you do it, you have to deceive yourself to be the most similar.

But Fang Yun had to admit that Pei Yao treated her very well.

If the two were an ordinary couple from an ordinary family, she would be a hundred times happier, and the couple would have equal eyebrows, but this is the royal family.

Royal, you should just keep your sincerity and live up to the sincerity of others.

Fang Yun was very busy in the next few days.

During the day, she had to deal with the harem affairs, and at night, Pei Yao always came to accompany her.

I wonder if the pitiful look that day was overplayed, but now Pei Yao is really afraid that she will be wronged, and he spends more time with her than the two who saw her pregnant.

Of course, the Queen and Concubine Yang would also go and sit there, but they only stayed for a short time.

Therefore, there was a situation in the harem where Concubine Zhao was the only favorite.

Seeing this, Concubine Yang became more and more interested in filling the palace with people.

After all, this battle is not over yet, and I don’t know when the next draft will be. It will take at least a year before she can sleep with her after giving birth.

She was not allowed to be pampered in the first place, so she had to have someone who would dote on her for her.

After making up her mind, she secretly sent a letter to her parents' family, asking them to select a suitable Yang girl and send her to the palace to share her worries.

This matter was left to her mother, Mrs. Nanning, so she felt relieved.

On Pei Yao's side, he didn't know that Concubine Yang was once again thinking of filling his harem with women. He was reading an urgent military report.

As mentioned before, they won a great victory in the northern border and won a beautiful battle. Yang Chengyu made a great contribution by capturing alive the sixth prince born to the most favored Concubine Yin of Shangyang Kingdom.

But now, because the sixth prince was captured alive, the king of Shangyang Kingdom was extremely angry. He threatened that if his son was disrespectfully returned alive, he would gather an army, break through Baiyang Pass in the north, and march all the way to the hinterland.

Now the prince of Shangyang Kingdom is leading the army, and their morale is high.

After reading this military report, Pei Yao's sharp eyes were filled with cold light.

"Prime Minister Lu, let's take a look. Shangyang Kingdom is so rampant." As he said this, he ordered Hongzheng to take the book.

The queen's father, now the only prime minister in the court, Lu Chuan, who was also the newly crowned Duke of Hua, also looked solemn at this moment.

After taking the book and reading it, he frowned angrily.

"Shameless bastard, dare to say such arrogant words!"

The Minister of War next to him also had a cold face after reading this, "Look, Yi Chen, the Shangyang Kingdom has not benefited from the fight to this day. He dares to be so rampant, why not just chop down the six princes to sacrifice our military flag and kill him." Their spirit!”

"No."

Zhang Zonghe, the cabinet scholar, shook his head.

"I think that killing the flag to express anger will easily anger the other party and give the other party an excuse to do villainous things. It is better to escort the sixth prince back to the capital immediately as a hostage. If the Lord of Shangyang really loves this son, he will definitely throw the rat into the trap. , I dare not act rashly, if I insist on sending troops to fight decisively without caring about my son's life or death, I think it will just be to find a reason for their atrocities. "

After hearing these words, Pei Yao narrowed his eyes and immediately glanced at the ministers.

"What do you think of Master Zhang's words?"

"I second the proposal." King Dun took the lead and said.

Prime Minister Lu also followed closely behind.

They all nodded, and the others didn't have much opinion, so the matter was settled.

Pei Yao immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to the north, requesting that the sixth prince of Shangyang Kingdom be sent to Kyoto.

Eight hundred miles hastened, and soon, Qin Guogong received the news.

This was consistent with his thoughts, so he sent trusted soldiers to escort the people and rushed to Kyoto that day.

Not getting the desired result, the leader of Shangyang Kingdom, his prince, immediately ordered to send troops.

In this battle, Shangyang State assembled [-]% of its troops and was really determined to decide the outcome. Therefore, the Duke of Qin did not dare to be careless and went into battle in person, leaving full power over the rear defense layout to his eldest son.

A decisive battle between the two countries will naturally be difficult.

Liu Qin followed Huo Mingxuan. The hands that originally only held pens and books were stained with the blood of the enemy.

Military reports came one after another, flying into the capital like snowflakes. The stalemate in the battle also made Pei Yao's face become colder inch by inch.

Will Shangyang Kingdom break through Baiyang Pass and send its troops all the way south, or will Da Qi win and defend our territory?

This is the battle.

There was tension in the front court, and some rumors were heard in the harem.

Fang Yun's heart palpitated inexplicably.

Thinking of Liu Qin, who never prayed to Buddha or God, she also went to Baohua Hall on the day of the first snow in Kyoto.

However, the concern within the walls of the Sifang Palace could not reach Northern Xinjiang, just as the sound of killings in Northern Xinjiang could not reach the Kyoto.

Everyone's hearts were affected by this decisive battle, and they were afraid of missing any news.

Under the nest, have the eggs finished?
Even if we don't worry about the livelihood of the people and the integrity of the country, everyone is still concerned about their own survival.

Although realistic, it is true.

After the two armies fought hard for ten days, the imperial study finally received another military report.

The person who delivered the message was a soldier who had not yet taken off his blood-stained armor. He seemed to be working hard day and night to get back.

He is one of Qin Guogong's cronies.

The moment he saw Pei Yao, his eyes were red. He knelt down heavily, pulled off a blood-stained white lining from the hem of his clothes, tied it on his head, and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, Duke of Qin, was killed in battle!" (End of this chapter)
