In the sound of firecrackers, the Spring Festival was ushered in again. Every family is beaming, close-fitting Spring Festival couplets, and hung red lanterns.

Yuxi said while eating: "Another year has passed. "Time flies, she's going to be twenty-six soon.

Yun Qing smiled and said, "It's a year older again." ”

When Brother Hao heard this, he immediately retorted: "Dad is wrong, he is a year older." "Tomorrow, he will be three years old. The mother said that when the first month is out, he will follow his grandfather to practice martial arts. In this regard, Brother Hao is still looking forward to it.

Yun Qing happily touched Brother Hao'er's head and said, "Hao'er is right, he is a year older. "A year older, it's no different from a year older.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was again full of a large table. But during the meal, Zi Jin's son Mao Tuan cried. The nurse hurriedly came over to help take a look at it, and found that the hairy ball was urinating.

After finishing the meal, Zi Jin looked at Yuxi and said cautiously: "Princess, I want to go back to the army after the first month." "Zi Jin's pregnancy is more difficult, but the hair ball was born at full term. After giving birth, his health has always been good. Zijin was anxious to go back to the barracks, so she didn't feed the child herself, but invited a nurse.

Yuxi said helplessly: "Wait for Mao Tuan to be half a year old before leaving!" Mao Tuan was born at the end of August. And the birth of Mao Tuan, the happiest person is Ruonan. Since the birth of the hair ball, Wakao has been circling the hair ball every day.

Zi Jin nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay." "The hair group will be half a year old by the end of February, so it's okay to stay for another month.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival again. With preparations this time, Yuxi has already asked people to book a box. However, last year's stampede gave Liu Er a shadow, and even if the box was set, Liu Er was reluctant to go.

Yunqing was not reluctant, and said to Yuxi: "I'll take Brother Hao'er with me!"

Although Yuxi is a little worried that it is not safe outside, Brother Hao is also three years old, and it is time to take him to see the outside world. A boy is always cowering in the inner house, what can he do?

The night, there were no stampedes, no assassins, and it was peaceful. The next day, Zao Zao happily gave Liu Er all kinds of snacks and gadgets he bought, and said, "The chaos I ate last night was delicious, but it's a pity that you didn't go." ”

Liu Er didn't have any regrets: "I don't know how many people have used the dishes and chopsticks on the stall, so I don't want to eat them." I want to eat chaos, just let Mother Bai do it. ”

Zao Zao shook his head and said, "The chaos made by Mother Bai is quite delicious, but the taste is different from what is made at the stall." ”

Liu Er said nonchalantly: "It's not just chaos, what difference can there be." ”

Zao Zao explained: "Same bastard, different taste. You'll know when you eat it. ”

Yuxi saw that the two sisters were arguing, and said with a smile: "Green vegetables and radishes have their own love, there is nothing to fight about." "Liu Er was raised by Mama Quan, and she is very particular about eating, like clothes, she never wears dates, even if the clothes and dates have never been touched. So it's not surprising that she doesn't eat outside.

Zao Zao immediately skipped this topic and asked another thing she cared about: "Mother, will it take more than half a year for Dad to come back after leaving this time?" Yunqing was at home, and it felt completely different. Not to mention anything else, it is also very comfortable to see her mother with a smile on her face every day.

Yuxi was also unsure, and said: "Then it depends on whether the war is smooth or not? If it is smooth, it may be back in two or three months." "If it doesn't go well, I don't know when I'll be back.

Yuxi is different from other mothers, she does not feel that the child is too young to know the sinister outside. On the contrary, she felt that with the situation of the husband and wife, the more the children knew, the better they could protect themselves. Therefore, Yuxi will often tell a few children about outside things, and will also tell a few children about the hardships and difficulties of the husband and wife. Because of this, although Liu Er is a little delicate, she is also very filial and obedient.

Zao Zao didn't think about it, so he said: "Mother, dad will definitely be happy this time." "If the war goes well, my father will be able to come back as soon as possible.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Well, it will definitely go smoothly." "After the mountain city is captured, there should be no more troops to fight in two years. Yunqing is at home, and she doesn't have to be so tired.

Yunqing wants to leave, not only the children are reluctant, but even Yuxi himself is reluctant. I couldn't sleep at night, so I pulled Yunqing and chattered for a long time. At this time, Yuxi is no longer the shrewd and skillful Princess Pingxi in the eyes of everyone, but an ordinary woman who is worried about her husband.

After listening to the nagging for a long time, Yunqing said softly: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." As he spoke, his hands roamed irregularly over Yuxi's body.

In the second half of the night, Yuxi was so tired that he fell asleep. Yunqing didn't call for water, and fell asleep directly with Yuxi in his arms.

When Yuxi woke up, it was already dawn. Looking at the emptiness around him, Yuxi hurriedly called licorice in and asked, "Where is the prince?"

Licorice looked at Yuxi's bare fragrant shoulders, lowered his head and said, "The prince left before dawn." The prince gave an order that the slaves and maidservants were not allowed to wake up the princess. "Parting is the most sad, so Yunqing deliberately tossed Yuxi tired last night, just because he didn't want Yuxi to send him.

It's not life and death, so Yuxi didn't say anything more: "Prepare water, I want to bathe." "It's sticky and uncomfortable.

Licorice said, "Princess, the medicinal bath is ready. "After taking this medicinal bath, I don't need to drink birth control pills anymore.

While taking the medicinal bath, Licorice asked, "The big county lord and the second county lord have just come over at dawn, and they are very disappointed when they know that the prince is gone." The two sisters discussed that they wanted to send Yunqing, but when they came, their father was already gone.

Yuxi nodded and asked Licorice: "Licorice, you are also twenty years old this year, and it is time to think about lifelong events." "Twenty years old is considered old compared to ordinary people.

Licorice shook his hand and said, "Princess, I don't want to marry." "She has a psychological shadow and is afraid of marrying a bad man.

Yuxi smiled and talked about the pillar: "The pillar specially asked Lord Xu to tell me about this. The pillar has been on an errand in the palace for more than seven years, and we all know his temperament and temperament, and the details are also clear. If you're afraid that you don't want to marry outside, Pillar is a good candidate. And if you marry him, you can still work as an errand in the house. ”

Licorice also occasionally goes to the front yard, and naturally knows the bottom of the pillar. Zhu Zi has no father and no mother, he is an orphan, and after joining the army at the age of thirteen, he took the military camp as his home. It's just that Licorice didn't expect that the pillar actually fell in love with him, and let Lord Xu propose marriage to the princess, thinking of this, Licorice blushed a little.

Yuxi saw that Licorice didn't refuse, and there was still shyness on his face, knowing that there was hope for this matter: "The marriage event is about your love and my wishes, you think about it seriously, if you think it's good, I'll call Master Xu back." If you don't want to, you have to tell me, and you can't keep people waiting. ”

Licorice thought about the situation of the pillar, weighed it in his heart for a long time, and then said: "Princess, if he agrees that I can still be an errand in the palace in the future, I will agree." "As long as she stays in the palace, even if her future husband fails her, she will have a place to live.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "If it's too easy to get, you won't cherish it." This is put in advance, let him show his sincerity and come out, and then you agree. ”

Licorice didn't think much about it, and said, "I listen to the princess." "The princess is so smart, it must be right to listen to her.

Yuxi chuckled and said, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask Mama Quan and Mama Lan." They are old, have a lot of experience, and will give you good advice. "She can give advice on the general direction, but in terms of details, she doesn't have so much time to guide. After all, she is so busy, and she spends her free time on the children.

Licorice lowered her head and whispered, "Okay." ”

When I saw Xu Wu in the afternoon, Yuxi said: "I told Licorice about the pillar today, and this girl has some shadows after Quan Zhengyu's matter. I told her that the pillar was an errand in the mansion and knew the roots, and she would not be like Quan Zhengyu, so she didn't refuse. ”

Xu Wu knew that this was difficult: "Then princess, what is the chance of the pillar?"

Yuxi said with a smile: "I didn't refuse, I just gave a chance! The rest depends on the sincerity of the pillar." After speaking, Yuxi asked, "What is the name of the pillar?"

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "That kid wandered to Ho City from somewhere else, he was only seven years old at the time, and he doesn't remember his last name. The name of the pillar was given by the old Du Tou who adopted him. Before Lao Dutou died, he arranged for him to enter the room, thinking that he would have a bite to eat in the room so that he would not starve to death. ”

Yuxi pondered for a moment and said, "Since his adoptive father's surname is Du, then he will follow the surname Du, and his name will be Du Zhu." "It's all familiar, and Yuxi doesn't bother to change people's names.

Xu Wu smiled and said, "That's what I said. ”

The pillar was very happy to hear the news that Licorice had not refused. Xu Wu patted his head and said, "Don't be too happy, the princess said it depends on your sincerity." If the sincerity is not enough, this daughter-in-law will not be able to marry. "Zhuzi is twenty-one years old this year, and he usually gets married late in the army, and there are many people who don't get married at this age.

Zhu Zi smirked: "If I don't refuse, it shows that I have hope." If Licorice still doesn't agree in the end, it can only mean that I am not good enough. ”

Seeing this, Xu Wu couldn't help laughing.

Half a month later, Yunqing arrived in the mountain city. Guan Tai told him all about the recent situation in the mountain city: "In October last year, Zhou Jinpeng sent people to Yunnan to buy a batch of grain at a high price. At the end of the year, he sent people to Jiangnan to buy grain, but the grain was robbed by bandits in Guizhou. In the mountain city, food is very tight right now. "Although it is said that money can make ghosts grind, Luo Kaijiang once offended the general soldiers in Guizhou. Yunnan was originally a land of mountains and forests, and it was short of grain itself, so it was unrealistic to buy grain in large quantities from it. Jiangnan is too far away from the mountain city, and the bandits on the road are very strict, so it is impossible to buy grain from Jiangnan. In addition, the mountain city itself is also full of hills and forests, and there is very little land, which cannot supply the consumption of 300,000 troops. Therefore, the shortage of food in the mountain city was completely expected by Yunqing, otherwise he would not have to wait until now.

Yun Qing asked: "There is no food to eat, do the soldiers in the army know?" As soon as the news of the lack of food spreads, it will shake the morale of the army, so this kind of thing will be hidden from the soldiers.

A smile appeared on Guan Tai's face: "Zhou Jinpeng and Zhou Dong naturally hid it, but our people released the news." Nowadays, the people in the mountain city are disheartened and the morale of the army is unstable. Lord Wang, now is the best time for us to attack the mountain city. ”

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "The mountain city has not yet reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and we will have to attack the city later." "The terrain of the mountain city is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, although they have problems now, they still have enough ability to defend the city. Even if the siege is successful now, it will have to pay a huge price, and this is not what Yunqing wants to see.

Kantai has no objections.

In mid-February, Yunqing transferred 50,000 troops from the northwest and Hubei to Shudi. An army of 100,000 arrived in Shu and rested for a few days. On the sixth day of the third month, Yunqing ordered the siege of the city.

Yuxi heard the chanting outside in the study, and knew that it was good news. After a while, Xu Wu walked in from outside and said, "Princess, the prince has captured the mountain city, and Zhou Jinpeng has fled." ”

Yuxi took the battle report, and after reading it, he didn't show a smile: "This time, more than 40,000 people died, and more than 10,000 people were seriously injured. "After making so many preparations, more than 50,000 people died, which shows how difficult it is to fight this mountain city.

Xu Wu immediately smiled, and said after half a sound: "In a war, there will always be dead and wounded." "Since there is a war, it is inevitable that people will die.

Yuxi naturally knew this reason, and didn't say anything more, and immediately summoned Tan Tuo and Liu Biyuan and other confidants. The battle was won, but the aftermath must be properly arranged, and there must be no mistakes.

A few days later, Xu Wu reported bad news to Yuxi: "Princess, General Yu was seriously injured, and although he woke up, one of his arms was useless. "It's also a shame that he carried Master Yang's medicine with him, otherwise he might have lost more than one arm, and he might not even have his life.

Yuxi's face was a little heavy: "When his injuries are healed, let him come back." By the way, let the violet come back with her. "If Zi Jin still wants to make contributions and make a career, regardless of Yu Zhi, I am afraid that the relationship between husband and wife will break down.

Xu Wu heard this and said: "This time Yu Zhi was injured, and Zi Jin stayed by his side all the time, and he didn't close his eyes for two days and two nights. Although Zi Jin acted a little lacking in heart, she still had a deep affection for Yu Zhi's husband. Of course, Zi Jin can leave the child in the palace is not really lacking in heart, but she believes that the child can be well taken care of in the palace.

Yuxi bowed his head and said, "It's pretty much the same. After thinking about it, Yuxi said, "I have to tell Master Yang about this." "This kind of thing, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it at all, it's better to tell the truth.

Master Yang heard that Yu Zhi was missing an arm, and said, "It's good to be here." "Since Yu Zhi went to the battlefield, Master Yang has been worried, the sword on this battlefield has no eyes and he will die if he is not careful, he can't stop this. Now Yu Zhi just has no arm, but the person is still there, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

Yuxi said: "After Yu Zhi's injury is healed, I will let them come back." ”

Master Yang nodded and said, "It's okay to come back, I don't have to worry about it at home, and Ruonan doesn't have to talk about his father and mother all the time." "The days in the palace are free and comfortable, and Master Yang has regarded the palace as his home.

ps: Weakly ask for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket.
