lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Spring Festival Banquet!
The maids outside quarreled endlessly, and they revealed the bottom of each other thoroughly. In the end, no one stayed ashamed, and scattered around with angrily. The two of them had watched enough of the scene and went back to the house.
As soon as Huaiyu stepped on the threshold of the main house, he heard a low voice at the door: "Where did you go?"
Shocked, she turned her head, clutching her heart, and said: "Just at the gate of the mansion, where can you go? Why are you here? Don't light up the lights."
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her carefully and made sure that she was not in any serious trouble, and then she relaxed and said: "I just finished reading the official document, stop by and take a look."
It’s too late, just finished reading? Huaiyu frowned and reached out to pinch his sleeves.
A sigh of chill has penetrated into the clothes, apparently staying outside for a long time.
"You guy." Li Huaiyu couldn't laugh or cry, "I don't know if I lie and change clothes?"
Jiang Xuanjin was taken aback for a moment, and looked down, as if she didn't know what was wrong with her clothes. Just about to reach out and look, the finger was held by the person in front of him.
The temperature passed from her palm, and it was warm to him. Jiang Xuanjin realized that she was cold all over, and she subconsciously retracted her hand and took a half step back.
The person in front of him seemed not afraid of the cold. He stepped back to her and pulled the laces of his robe when he came up, opened his tunic, and then reached out and hugged him in.
"Cold." Jiang Xuanjin struggled.
Li Huaiyu hugged and didn't let go, and smiled and said: "I know you are cold, so I warm you up."
"I'm afraid you are cold."
"I'm not cold. There is a charcoal fire in the house, and there is a hand holding it when you go out. The wind can't blow at all, but you." Huaiyu looked up at him. In the dark room, the person's eyes were faint. Guang, "What do you do to blow the cool breeze for so long outside?"
Having half-supported her waist, Jiang Xuanjin didn't answer, she lost her mind for a moment, and then bowed her head and said, "Will you go to Ziyang Border Town with me?"
"Huh?" Huaiyu was puzzled, "What are you doing there suddenly?"
"It's close to a first-tier city, and it's lively." He didn't change his face and said without a heartbeat, "It's all right here anyway, so I should go sightseeing."
Huaiyu was a little embarrassed: "Is it okay to leave like this? So sooner or later the imperial commissioner is coming?"
"It's okay." He said, "When he is coming soon, it will not be too late to deal with it."
Listening to his relaxed tone, Li Huaiyu felt nothing big in a daze. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said: "Yes, they and I have suffered so long in the first-tier cities, so let them relax. "
"Then it is decided." Jiang Xuanjin said, "I will let people prepare tomorrow."
"Okay." Huaiyu nodded obediently, and sat down on the side of the bed following his strength. Seeing that he was going to leave, he grabbed him as soon as he stretched out his claws and didn't let go.
Jiang Xuanjin looked at her suspiciously, and the moonlight came in through the carved window next to her, shining brightly in her eyes.
"You accompany me to sleep." She was half coquettish and half shameless.
She was slightly stiff, Jiang Xuanjin shook her head: "Your stomach."
Such a big one, if he is on the same bed with her, what if he gets squeezed?
"Because of this stomach, I can't sleep well no matter how I sleep." Grievously flattened my mouth, Huaiyu said, "You are by my side, maybe I can feel better."
Jiang Xuanjin pursed her lips and stared at her stomach: "Why can't you sleep well?"
"This is not easy to put." She pointed to her swollen belly, "It's too high to put a pillow on it, and it's so empty without a cushion."
He pulled the robe and hung it on the side screen, he motioned her to go to bed, and then lay on her side.
Huaiyu smiled and hugged his arm: "Ziyang Jun is really good to talk now."
Slanting coldly, he said: "I was not good at talking before?"
Huaiyu's eyes widened: "You used to be difficult to speak? You are not allowed to talk to you at all! Do you remember the time when Baihua Jun came to the Northern Wei Dynasty in the fifth year of Daxing? I just opened a mouth, you blocked me back."
Recalling what she said, Jiang Xuanjin said: "You said at the time that you should welcome him with the highest courtesy."
"Yes!"
The old princess in the Yaochi peony palace costume sat high on the side of the emperor and said with a smile: "East Jin Dynasty Baihua Monarch has an outstanding status, and I should also have the style of a big country in the Northern Wei Dynasty. …"
"His Royal Highness." Ziyang Jun in the lower right corner interrupted her with a cold face, "No matter how high the status of Baihuajun is, he is only a monarch, not the lord of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If you greet her with this gift, he will be If the lord of the country comes, how should he welcome him?"
Li Huaiyu clearly remembered Jiang Xuanjin's tone at the time. It was a cold and ruthless one, and she didn't give her face at all.
Thinking of that scene, Jiang Xuanjin said slightly: "I didn't know at the time."
"I don't know what?" Huaiyu pinched his arm with hatred, pretending to be angry.
The person turned his head, naturally put his hand under her stomach, and opened his thin lips slightly: "I don't know that Mrs. Mirai sits above, it's impolite."
With a "boom", a firework exploded in my heart, drawing out the sky full of brilliance, Huaiyu stared at him stupidly, and after confirming that the words came out of his mouth, the corner of his mouth was a little bit The ground cracks at the root of the ear.
The reserved and elegant Ziyang-kun...had you talked to her for love? Is there anything that can keep these words? She wants to beat the gongs and drums to tell the whole world!
"Say it again." Her eyes were bright and clear.
Jiang Xuanjin seemed to react, pursing her lips, and whispered: "Go to bed, it's late."
"I'll sleep when you say it!" She shamed.
He covered her eyes with a headache, and he was slightly annoyed: "If you mess around, I will go back to the room."
Blank mouth, Li Huaiyu couldn't stop smiling, eyes blinking, eyelashes scratching his palms, originally trying to tease him, who knew that before a while, he was tired first and yawned.
Perhaps it is really because of Jiang Xuanjin's side, she always feels that she slept sideways today more comfortably than usual, her belly is no longer empty, and her breath is full of reassuring fragrance.
So after a while, Huaiyu fell asleep deeply.
She didn't dare to move the hand under her stomach, Jiang Xuanjin let go of her breath and looked sideways at her face.
I have been raising well recently, without too much worries, this little face is finally rounded up. Qi Jin said that by raising the body in this way before giving birth, it can reduce the danger by two points.
In this case, Jiang Xuanjin thought, let her be healthy. Anything that would disturb her raising a fetus should be kept away from her invisible.
In the past, I didn't know how this was his wife, how offended, now there is an opportunity, and he can slowly compensate her.
Huaiyu slept very well this time. When she woke up, Jiang Xuanjin was gone. Qing Si stood by her bed respectfully and said: "Master, everyone has already started packing."
"Huh? You know you are going to Ziyang Border Town?" Huaiyu asked with a yawn.
Qing Si nodded: "Junshang told the people in the mansion early in the morning, Qing Xian and Bai Ai will leave later, and the rest will leave as soon as noon."
So anxious? Huaiyu nodded and didn't ask much, and then got up to freshen up and see what to take with him.
The princess's mansion is peaceful, but the entire first-tier city is panic.
A large number of officers and soldiers poured into the city, escorting the old, weak, women and children to Ziyang Border City. Among the mature men who volunteered, they put on armor and joined the army to help. Everyone knows that the imperial court has sent troops to the first-tier cities.
Jiang Xuanjin successively sent letters to Pingling, Changlin, Nanping, Gongyi and other places, warning them that the emperor had the intention of forcibly cutting the land. Tensions everywhere, watching the situation here from afar.
Just after the first battle in the Wuzi Canyon, he was leading his troops to retreat, and now they met with the tail army of Jia Liang and his party, and together with the defenders in the first-line city, they were in a force of flanking back and forth.
Jia Liang panic! He took the saint's will and didn't even enter the gates of the first-tier cities, so he wanted to fight first? But Ziyang Jun's killing intent was naked, and it was useless for him to ask for peace. If he couldn't break into the first-tier city, he would be surrounded and killed outside the city gate.
After thinking for a long time, Jia Liang still ordered the army to enter the city, at least to break the deadlock and save his life.
"Kill—" The voice screamed from outside the city gate, Jiang Xuanjin stood on the top of the tower, watching and asking the person next to him quietly: "Did you see clearly?"
The spy was sweating, and he repeatedly bowed his hands at him: "The little one will go and report to your princes."
The imperial court moved the hand first, and the facts are here! The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If even Ziyang Jun and the eldest princess can't keep this tier of cities, how can the local princes keep their fiefs?
The people in the first-tier cities fled and scattered into the surrounding areas. Therefore, the news that the imperial court sent troops to attack the first-tier cities quickly spread throughout the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, Jia Liang didn’t know anything. He only felt that the city was too easy to enter. There seemed to be very few people in the city. After wondering, he began to search for the whereabouts of Lord Ziyang, and found that he was not in the city. The princess's mansion is also empty.
"It always feels a little weird." He muttered to himself, "Didn't someone say that there are so many defenders in the city?"
"It must be that our people are too powerful, and they flee in fright!" Someone nearby smiled and flattered.
"No." Jia Liang shook his head, "It's okay for others to say, but Ziyang Jun has no reason to be afraid of us."
Even if they entered the city, they didn't dare to take Jiang Xuanjin's attention. He was still ready to plead guilty early in the morning. The result is good now, an empty city, Ziyang Jun directly disappeared.
Jia Liang was uneasy, but his men were delighted as soon as they entered the city. Taking advantage of the ignorance of the above, they started smashing and smashing the houses in the city and seizing property with officials.
"It's too much!" After hearing the news, Jun Chang Lin said angrily, "The first-tier city is an isolated city. If it weren't for the princess and Ziyang, the people there would have died. Now it's hard to get a better chance, but the court is thinking about it. Okay, send soldiers to take over, making it clear that it is a robbery!"
"Isn't it? Your Majesty agreed to our request some time ago, saying that it was a tax cut, but the salt tax was reduced, and it was added elsewhere. It hasn't changed at all. What kind of grace is it?" Sigh, "Simply tell me, our majesty, we are really greedy."
"What did Pingling say?"
"Jun Pingling has trouble saying, the emperor sent troops from him to deal with Monarch Ziyang. He was a hundred unwilling, but he was rebelling against him." See, you can sell Ziyang Jun for a favor this time."
"Oh?" Chang Lin asked, "How can I sell it?"
"Jun Ziyang is now the one with the strongest military strength. He is not unable to fight, but he dared not fight this line of cities head-on with the court, for fear of leaving some rebellious rhetoric." You can work with Nanping Jun to stand up for Ziyang Jun. Squeeze down the strength of the mausoleum. In this way, you will not only give Pingling the steps down, but also help Ziyang Jun. The favors on both sides are available, and Ziyang Jun knows that Entubao's temperament, shouldn't it benefit Changlin?"
It makes sense! Chang Lin Jun twisted his beard and pondered carefully for a long time, then nodded: "You can try it."
It happened that Nanping Jun also wanted to help the eldest princess. He hid behind Nanping Jun to show up, and the favor was taken away, and nothing fell to him.
Let's do it. Chang Lin Jun sent a letter to Nanping and integrated more than 3,000 people. After joining the army of Nanping, they all headed to the first-tier city.
There was nothing wrong with this decision. Jiang Xuanjin did indeed prepare a generous gift of appreciation to Jun Lin, but since the forces of these two monarchs reached the first-tier cities, they became the real "Ziyang Juntong" in the eyes of the emperor. party".
Li Huailin is thousands of miles away, and he doesn’t know if they are here to persuade peace or what they are doing. He only knows that these few princes not only jointly play please tax cuts, but also protect Ziyang Jun in every move. He is the emperor in his eyes.
The courtiers are all nervous, and everyone knows what it means to the court once the monarch is in chaos. If a monarch is in chaos, there is still room for relaxation. So many people join forces to cause chaos, are they afraid that it will overturn the Northern Wei Dynasty?
Li Huailin was also a little panicked, he just wanted to bring the emperor back, who knows how to get involved with Ziyang Jun, and so many people?
If you retreat, the court will have no face. If you don’t retreat, you can only do both soft and hard to give this group of people a little bit of color.
Li Huailin still wanted to use Pingling's people, but Lord Pingling directly pretended to be dead, and no longer listened to his instructions. If it was someone else, even Pingling Jun helped Jiang Xuanjin, and Li Huailin was really angry.
"Through my decree, Lord Pingling resisted the decree and did not comply with the decree, and violated the national law, immediately arrested and returned to Kyoto, waiting to be sent!"
If you dare not take Jiang Xuanjin's knife, you can only kill the chickens from Li Fangwu. Huailin's thinking is simple. After all, he is a brother. He can't really deal with Li Fangwu, just want to get people back and ask questions. , What does he mean?
However, what he didn't know was that Jiang Xuanjin arrived at Pingling early in a letter before his imperial decree, reminding Mr. Pingling to be careful and to accompany him like a tiger.
Li Fangwu was still hesitating whether to go to Monarch Ziyang like Lord Changlin. He didn't hesitate after hearing the imperial decree of inquiring sin, and immediately blocked the border town of Pingling and contacted Lord Changlin.
"What are you laughing at?" Huaiyu stood in the courtyard, looked sideways at Jiang Xuanjin next to him, shivering, "Why suddenly laugh so weird?"
Jiang Xuanjin hooked her lips and put her hand in her cloak: "I just think the weather is pretty good today."
