Yuchen had dinner and took the maid to the garden for a walk. In the courtyard, Yuchen met the two Yu sisters.

The two saluted Yuchen, and Da Yu said with a smile: "Sister is also coming for a walk?" Also, the prince has been staying at Mrs. Xiang's place for a while now, and my sister is free. This sentence is a blatant irony.

Yuchen didn't seem to understand what Da Yu's words were, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiang is smart and lovely, and it is normal for her to be liked by the prince." "No matter how much Yan Wushuang dotes on Mrs. Xiang, that woman can't threaten her status.

Da Yu's face was a little ugly: "I hope my sister can always be so generous and lenient." "If you want to say that the most jealous of Mrs. Xiang's favor, it is none other than the Da Yu family.

Yuchen smiled and said, "Naturally. "Yuchen is not without water chestnuts, but it is rarely revealed.

At night, Yuchen scattered a piece of green silk. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Yuchen touched his face and said, "Mama, do you think I'm old?" To say that Yan Wushuang doesn't care about Mrs. Xiang at all, it's fake.

Mama Gui took an ivory comb and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Niangniang is getting old, and she is still the same as before, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it." ”

Yuchen smiled and said, "I'm thirty years old, where can I compare with when I was sixteen or seventeen years old." After speaking, Yuchen looked bitter and said: "I don't know if it's because of my age, I always think of the past, especially when I was a child in the Guogong Mansion." Last night I dreamed of my grandmother!" The more than ten years in the Guogong Mansion were the most lively days of her life.

Mama Gui's hand paused, and soon said with a smile: "What did Niangniang dream of the old lady?"

Yuchen shook his head and said, "I don't remember, but my grandmother is still so loving." After speaking, Yuchen said with some melancholy: "When my grandmother was alive, I didn't be able to be filial to her properly. This is what she regrets the most.

Mama Gui was relieved: "At that time, the mother couldn't help herself, the old lady loved the mother so much, she would definitely not blame her." "A woman who marries into the royal family can go home wherever she wants. Not to mention that at that time, Song Guifei was still staring at her master like a corn-eyed person! At that time, there was no way to make any mistakes.

Yuchen sighed faintly and said, "Grandmother's greatest wish is to revitalize the Han family and return the Han family to its former glory. It's a pity that my grandmother didn't see the Han family prosper until she died. ”

Mama Gui said, "Niangniang, don't think so much. ”

Yuchen couldn't help but think about it: "The eldest brother and the second brother are very popular in the northwest, and the Han family is also one of the best in the northwest." Grandmother's hope, eldest brother is also half accomplished. "The reason why it is said that it is half completed is that Yuxi and Han Jianming are rebellious people to the imperial court, and secondly, Yuxi is only entrenched in the northwest.

Mama Gui thought for a moment and said, "Now Shanxi, Henan, Hubei and other places are fighting. Once their defenses are breached, the Northwest will be lost. "The northwest has fallen, Yunqing and Han Yuxi will have their lives in danger, and the future of the Han family still has to rely on the third room.

Yuchen shook his head slightly and said, "Where is it so easy." Yu Baojia and the prince are not of the same mind at all, and it is a fool's dream to capture several provinces in Shanxi with the 200,000 troops sent by the imperial court alone. After a pause, Yuchen said, "And once we lose the battle in front of us and let Yunqing occupy Jiangnan, the capital will be in danger." ”。 Once they occupy Jiangnan, Yuxi's next target will be the capital.

Mama Gui's heart was shocked, and she quickly stabilized her mind and said: "Niangniang is too worried, the military power in Jiangnan is in the hands of Baojia, even if it is lost, it has nothing to do with the prince." However, the general soldiers of Hebei and Shandong are all the henchmen of the prince, and with the ability of the prince, it is wishful thinking for Yunqing to want to enter the capital. "For Yan Wushuang, Mama Gui is still very confident.

It's not that Yuchen doesn't believe Yan Wushuang, it's just that many things are not as people think. Yuchen sighed and said, "No one can say what will happen in the future. Thinking back then, who would have expected that Yuxi and Yunqing would be able to have today?" So, what the future will look like, no one can guarantee.

At this time, a crisp voice sounded outside: "Mother, why bother to grow others to destroy your own prestige." After speaking, Ah Bao came to Yuchen's side like a gust of wind.

Yuchen frowned and said, "How many times have I told you that the girl's family should look like a girl's family." ”

Ah Bao sat on the chair, put the horsewhip on the table next to him and said, "Mother, if everything is according to the rules, it will be so tiring." "Actually, Bao's rules are very good, compared with jujubes, it is definitely a heaven and a place.

Yuchen knew that it was useless to say more, so he told the maid to prepare water. Ah Bao went to practice this afternoon, and he was sweating, so he definitely had to wash well.

Ah Bao leaned back in the chair and said, "Mother, you can't say such frustrating words in the future, Dad will be unhappy when he hears it." "Although Bao is a little arrogant, he is very smart and knows how to please Yan Wushuang.

Yuchen hummed and said, "Got it." "For Ah Bao, Yuchen is defenseless, so Ah Bao walked into the house and she didn't know. But Yan Wushuang is different, not to mention that Yan Wushuang will pass every time she comes to the maid, even if no one is clear, she can hear Yan Wushuang's footsteps.

Ah Bao thought about it for a while and couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Mother, what kind of person is Han Yuxi?" Because Yuxi is a traitor to the imperial court, no one is wrong to call Ah Bao by his name.

Yuchen was a little surprised and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Po said: "A lot of people say she's amazing, and I just want to know how good she is. Mother, you grew up with her since childhood, and no one knows her better than you, right?

Yuchen shook his head and said: "When she was a child, except for liking to read books and being good at embroidery, she didn't have anything outstanding. "Among the ladies in the capital, Yuxi can only be regarded as middle-class in terms of appearance and talent, and it is not a top-notch task.

Po looked incredulous: "Really?"

Yuchen sighed faintly and said, "What did my mother lie to you." In fact, not only your mother, but even your great-grandmother didn't know that your fourth aunt was so hidden. ”

Ah Bao pouted and said: "Mother, she is a traitor, and she is our enemy, how can she still be called the fourth aunt?"

Yuchen was silent and said, "No matter what, she is her mother's own sister, and this can never be changed." ”

Ah Bao shrugged and said, "What my mother thinks is my mother's business, anyway, I won't recognize this fourth aunt." "These thoughts were all instilled by Yan Wushuang, and Yuchen couldn't correct them.

At this moment, a sonorous footsteps sounded outside. Yuchen was a little surprised, but he quickly stood up and saluted the people who came in: "Lord Wang." ”

Yan Wushuang nodded and said to Ah Bao: "Don't practice so late in the future." "He won't be like Yunqing, raising his daughter to be a man's wife. Yan Wushuang asked Ah Bao to practice martial arts, thinking that she could protect herself with martial arts, but he didn't want her to lead troops to fight in the future.

Ah Bao hugged Yan Wushuang's arm and said with a smile: "Dad, I forgot the time today, and I won't next time." ”

Yan Wushuang said: "I have already told Master Rong that I can't teach anymore when the time comes." "It's equivalent to saying that even if Po wants to extend the time next time, he can't do it.

Po muttered, "Got it." ”

Shi Xiang walked in lightly and said, "Lord Wang, Niangniang, County Lord, the water has been prepared." "Bao is very particular about putting fresh petals in the bath, but Bao likes to use rose petals. If not, jasmine and chrysanthemums are barely enough. Fortunately, there is a large conservatory in the palace, which can supply Bao's needs. However, this expenditure alone is a lot of money.

Ah Bao let go of Yan Wushuang's hand and said, "Dad, mother, I'm going to take a bath." Waiting for Yan Wushuang to nod, she walked out.

Yuchen asked with a concerned face: "Lord Wang, are you not feeling well with such a bad complexion?"

It's strange to be comfortable, Yan Wushuang has been thinking about what is the purpose of Yunqing leading his troops to Lanyang these days, but he can't figure it out. I was in an irritable mood, and I walked to Yuchen's side as I walked.

Yan Wushuang said: "There have been too many things recently, and I am a little tired. "My mind is so confused that I don't have a clue.

Yuchen didn't ask much, because after asking Yan Wushuang, he wouldn't say more: "Or, the concubine will play a song for the prince?"

Over the years, in addition to serving Yan Wushuang and taking care of the two children, Yuchen's other thoughts have been on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. By now, her attainments in piano have reached the level of a master.

Yuchen played the famous song "Spring and White Snow". As long as she played the piano, Yuchen would devote herself wholeheartedly, and when she finished playing a song, she found that Yan Wushuang had fallen asleep.

Yuchen didn't wake him up, but took a blanket and draped it over him. However, Yan Wushuang was very alert, and woke up without waiting for Yuchen to get close.

Looking at the thick murderous aura in Yan Wushuang's eyes, at that moment, Yuchen really felt that Yan Wushuang was going to kill her first.

Yan Wushuang realized that his reaction was a little too much when he got up, and said with a cold face, "You should rest early!" After speaking, he didn't look back, and strode out.

Seeing that Yuchen was motionless, Mama Gui hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?"

Yuchen was so frightened just now that the whole person froze, and after coming back to his senses, he said to Mama Gui: "Prepare water." ”

Mama Gui was stunned and said, "Niangniang, you have already bathed just now. ”

Yuchen's voice softened a lot: "Go prepare water!" She couldn't tell Mama Gui, she was scared into a cold sweat just now, and she couldn't sleep at all without bathing.

That night, Yuchen had a nightmare in which he dreamed that he was strangled to death by Yan Wushuang. When he woke up, Yuchen's forehead was sweaty.

Seeing Yuchen sitting on the bed in a daze, Mama Gui said with some concern: "Niangniang, it's just a nightmare. Dreams and reality are the opposite. ”

Yuchen hummed and said, "I hope!" said that, but Yuchen couldn't sleep anymore.

Compared with Yuchen's ease, Yuxi can't wait for twenty-four hours a day. Every time there is a battle, everyone in the rear has to be very busy.

Xu Wu walked into the study, lowered his voice and said to Yuxi: "Princess, Cui Mo has already passed Yuanzhou. ”

Yuxi nodded and asked, "You haven't been discovered, have you?"

Xu Wu said: "The routes they traveled were all pre-formulated by Yunqing and would not be leaked. ”

Yuxi said: "You can't take it lightly, you must keep an eye on those fine works, and solve it immediately if something goes wrong." "Once the news leaks, Yunqing's plan will not succeed, and this dispatch may be in vain.

Xu Wu said: "Rest assured, princess, our people have not relaxed for a moment. "No one takes things lightly until they work out.

Every time there is a war, many checkpoints will be set up, and the road to the capital will also be blocked. Because this time, as usual, it has not aroused Yan Wushuang's suspicions until now.

Yuxi snorted and said, "According to the time, the prince should attack Caozhou in the next two days." "Attacking Caozhou is only the first step, and the next thing is the key.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "It should be in these two days." ”

Outside, Xu Daniu raised his voice and said, "Princess, Lord Meng asks to see." "Because this is a time of operation, rear stability is a top priority. Therefore, Meng Fangjun is also frequently in and out of Pingxi Wangfu these days.

When Xu Wu went out, he looked at Yuxi and said, "Princess, you have to take care of your health." It was also because he saw the bloodshot in Yuxi's eyes that he said this.

has been with Xu Wu for so many years, and Yuxi also treats him as his own. Yuxi shook his head and said, "I've been hanging my heart these days, and I can't sleep well." In fact, Yuxi has three hours of sleep time every night, and a three-quarter hour nap at noon, which is enough time for normal people. But after Yuxi knew Yunqing's plan, he had been worried about it for the past few days, resulting in poor sleep.

Xu Wu has been by Yuxi's side for so many years, and he also knows that Yuxi is suspenseful about the plan set by Yunqing. Xu Wu said: "Princess, we will definitely succeed." "If he is discouraged, he will not say it, because it is unlucky.

Yuxi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that if you don't worry, you won't worry." After all, I can't bear it. "The main reason is that Yunqing's plan is too risky, and once it fails, it will affect the entire battle situation. Of course, if the plan succeeds, they will get twice the result with half the effort when they attack Jiangnan.

Xu Wu laughed: "The princess is too humble. In this world, Xu Wu felt that there was no woman with a stronger ability to bear than Yuxi.

On this day, Yuxi was busy until late before going back. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a man lying on the bed.

Walking to the bedside, Yuxi asked, "You girl, why did you run to your mother's bed?"

Zao Zao opened his eyes and said, "Mother, you are so powerful, you even know that I am not asleep?" After speaking, he sat up.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of mother you are." "Zao Zao is too tired to practice every day, and he snores when he sleeps at night, but fortunately, the sound is not loud.

Zao Zao said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from my mother." Mother, Uncle Xu said that you are worried that your father will not sleep well these days. Mother, I will sleep with you at night in the future, and you will be able to sleep well. ”

The daughter is filial, and Yuxi naturally will not refuse. It's just that what Yuxi didn't expect was that it might be the child by her side that made her feel at ease, and she really fell asleep quickly this night. And I slept until the end of the next day.

Opening his eyes and looking at the empty place beside him, Yuxi asked, "What about the big county lord?"

Meilan said with a smile: "The big county lord got up before dawn to practice. Yuxi slept well, and she was happy to look at it.

From this day on, Zao Zao came to the main courtyard every night to sleep. Yuxi's sleep after that also returned to normal.
