==Chapter 105 The First Year==
The war in the north is about to break out.
The first day of winter is the day when Xiao Yu goes on an expedition.
Qin Jing took the golden crown, white tail and black gold soft armor from Zhu Xin, and put them on for him one by one. Her movements were orderly, gentle and considerate. After all, she had fulfilled her promise. Live a good life as he wishes.
He nodded and looked at her, his eyes slowly sliding down and falling on her lower abdomen, "Aling, remember to ask for Ping'an pulse every day."
Qin Juan nodded, "I understand."
Xiao Yu said again: "The duties of the Sixth Palace are tiring. You can leave the miscellaneous tasks to the people below. You don't have to do everything yourself as before."
Qin Juan followed Shan Ruliu and continued to nod in agreement.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly picked her up, like a butcher weighing meat, holding her hips firmly with his palms, and weighed her up and down. Qin Juan said in horror: "...Your Majesty, this is what you are doing. What?"
Xiao Yu said seriously: "Now that the morning sickness is better, eat more. If you get tired of the food in the palace and want to eat outside the palace, ask Sheng Kanghai to buy it. When I come back, the queen will not be lighter than she is now."
Qin Jing looked at his serious expression and suddenly felt confused. Her expression and tone remained unchanged, but her words became more and more dense. However, she couldn't blame Xiao Yu for nagging. This scene seems so familiar.
Qin Juan covered her belly, patted his shoulder and said, "I can take care of myself. Your Majesty, please put me down first."
Xiao Yu slowly put her down, lowered his head and kissed her, saying, "Wait until I get back with a letter from home."
Qin Chan said: "Okay."
At this time, people were getting ready outside. Eunuch Sheng wanted to ask when the whips and drums would be blown, but when he saw the emperor and empress hugging each other, he immediately became as happy as a blooming plum blossom and silently retreated.
Qin Chan said: "The auspicious time has come, it's time for Your Majesty to leave."
Xiao Yu said "hmm", picked up the sword on the table, turned and left.
When Xiao Yu was about to push the door open and go out, he felt that there was something missing, so he turned back to look at her.
In the thirty-eighth year of Yongchang, it was the time when the party struggle was at its most intense. Whenever she left Beijing on business, she would hug his waist when leaving and hang a big red peace charm on his chest without explanation. Then he whispered to him: "Sanlang, I'll wait for you to go home."
He stood still and whispered: "Aling..."
Qin Juan instantly understood what he was saying, bowed and said softly to him: "I wish your majesty a speedy triumph and safe return."
Xiao Yu smiled.
After years passed, this man's skin remained the same as before, except for a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
My eyebrows are not always smiling, but when I smile, I am more than handsome.
After a while, Nanny Yuan appeared in front of Kunning Palace with the little prince in hand.
Xiao Yun made a grand gift in a dignified manner, "My son, I respectfully send my best wishes to my father."
Xiao Yu was not as serious as before, but walked up to him and tapped his nose meaningfully.
The drums sounded, and the strong man playing the drums moved his wrists faster and faster, the drumbeats became more and more intense, and the soldiers raised their swords and shouted.
Today, under the gaze of the people again, he drove thousands of horses to leave the capital.
After leaving the city, while feeding horses along the way, Xiao Yu took out a faded peace charm from his arms and wrapped it around the handle of his knife.
****************
Xianfu Palace.
Qingyue added a piece of clothing for Concubine Xue and said softly: "Empress, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. We... also go to Kunning Palace to say hello to the Empress."
When it comes to Kunning Palace and Qin Juan's face, Concubine Xue is like a defeated rooster, silent.
Qing Yue advised: "Empress..."
"It's good now, she has become the queen. I don't know how she can hold grudge against me..." Concubine Xue sighed, gritted her teeth and said, "In this palace, Concubine Liu still belongs to her. She is so thoughtful that as soon as His Majesty issued the decree, she handed over the power of the Sixth Palace to Kunning Palace. She is truly a master of flattery and makes me feel inferior to her."
Qingyue rubbed Concubine Xue's shoulders and said, "As soon as the queen was sealed, didn't the empress guess it when she came back from Lishan Mountain?"
When Lishan Mountain was mentioned, Concubine Xue became even more irritable. On the night when Lishan Mountain caught fire, she could still see the image of the Queen riding away on horseback. The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Concubine Xue said: "Qingyue, do you realize that in addition to the appearance of Qin, the Queen and the Queen, even their demeanor..."
Qingyue immediately interrupted: "Your Majesty, I must never say this again in the future."
"What can't be said?"
Qingyue said: "Hey, empress, if you think about it carefully, you will understand. The empress doesn't mind, but who knows what she is thinking? After all, she is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, so if you mention this again They have similar looks, but I’m afraid they’re also at odds with each other in their hearts... It’s better to have one less than one more, so let’s not mention it in the future.”
Concubine Xue pushed her away, squinted her eyes and said, "I'm not talking about her appearance, I'm talking about her demeanor and temperament. I can't tell. Anyway, the more I look at her, the more she looks like her... .."
Qingyue knelt on the ground with a "pop" and said, "Empress, you can't even say this."
Although Concubine Xue stopped talking, her face was darker than before.
After thinking about it, I suddenly looked for the remaining charms to exorcise ghosts from the last time, stood up and stuffed them into my sleeves as a comfort.
The emperor left the palace, the queen mother was seriously ill, and Qin Wan had the final say in all affairs of the six palaces.
As soon as Xiao Yu left the city gate, the harem concubines were waiting outside Kunning Palace to say hello.
Zhu Xin said: "Mother, everyone is here."
Qin Juan nodded and said: "Ask them to come in."
The concubines said in unison: "I send my regards to the Queen."
Qin Jing said calmly: "Everyone, get up."
Others looked as normal, but Concubine Xue was startled and broke into a cold sweat. Thoughts are like seeds in the soil. Once watered, they will surely take root and sprout.
She swallowed hard and sat aside.
After Zhu Xin brought the tea, Qin Chan said: "My pregnancy is really not a worry. My morning sickness has not gone away and I am always sleepy and weak..."
Actually, Concubine knew in her heart that if she greeted her on the first day, she would be in a show of disdain no matter what she did next, but she didn’t expect it. Qin Juan just said next: "So from today on, there will be no need to make arrangements for morning and evening. ”
The concubines looked at each other, feeling ecstatic and afraid to show it.
Concubine Liu still said politely: "I know that the empress is merciful, but the empress is not feeling well. How can we take some time to hide in peace, otherwise we have to have a rest outside Kunning Palace every morning... "When Concubine Liu said this, Concubine Xue almost couldn't control her expression.
Qin Juan interrupted her and said: "Dongyue is prone to fatigue, so there is no need to pay attention to this rule."
The concubines said: "I would like to thank you, the Queen."
Qin Juan was not sleepy at the moment, so she took advantage of the medicine to get the four concubines back to the palace.
Back at Xianfu Palace, Concubine Xue composed herself, formed a handful of charms, and threw them aside.
After dinner, Qin Juan was still feeling faint, so she settled in very early.
When she was removing the hairpin on the bronze mirror, an unknown noise came from her ears. She rubbed it and found that the hairpin was gone.
After washing, change clothes and go to bed.
There are many more people serving in Kunning Palace than in Gyeongbokgung Palace.
Lu Shang bowed and said, "Mother, do you want to turn off the lights?"
Qin Chan said: "Leave one."
Fireworks filled the room, and Qin Juan slowly closed her eyes.
At midnight, the candlelight swayed, and she suddenly felt a lightness in her body in her sleep, slowly rising up, as if she was in the clouds.
The sound of horse hooves, war drums, roars, and swords kept attacking her.
The clouds in front of me turned into smoke.
Vultures are circling and flying, and the yellow sand is covered with bones.
This is... the first year of Yanxi, the end of August.
The autumn wind is whistling and the hunting sound is coming,
The city wall of Qingzhou has been stained red with blood, and the color is darker after drying. A flag symbolizing the victory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was planted on the watchtower.
The joy of repelling the enemy troops has not dissipated, the soldiers are excited, cheers and whispers are endless.
The short soil broke through, and the tall soldier sighed: "I can finally go home."
The short soldier replied: "Yes, before we sent out the army, my mother cried her eyes out because she was afraid that I would never come back like those 60,000 people..."
The tall soldier said: "Your Majesty said that we will all be rewarded when we return to the court."
The short man smiled and said: "That's good, I've been anxious to get a wife... Hey, have you married a wife?"
The tall soldier nodded, smiled silly, and said: "I have two sons, and they are all waiting for me at home."
Xiao Yu was lying flat on the withered grass **** by the river, his clothes and hair were already messy, and there were streaks of blood on his face. He breathed steadily and looked up at the sun as it slowly set.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the dense river, and the turbulent water surface calmed down, submerging the remains of bones and stains of blood.
The horse's iron jingled and swayed. Lu Ze turned over and dismounted, walked to Xiao Yu's side with a water bottle, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please drink some water."
Xiao Yu took it and slowly stood up, while Lu Ze supported him from behind.
Xiao Yu subconsciously rubbed his chest.
Looking at the emperor's actions, Lu Ze's eyes darkened, "That traitor Yang Di, it's really easy to kill him with one knife, so he should be hung at the city gate for three days...
Xiao Yu patted his shoulder and said, "He's almost healed, don't worry."
Lu Ze blamed himself very much and said softly: "It's all my fault that I saw Su off... It's all my fault that I was delayed on the road for too long and couldn't come back sooner."
Out of habit, Lu Ze almost blurted out the words "Su Jingming".
Xiao Yu seemed to be relieved, smiled slightly, and said: "Just say what you need to say, no need to hide it, the doctor sent it away?"
Lu Ze nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, his life can be saved."
"Okay, let's talk about the rest later..."
When Xiao Yu stood up, a gust of wind suddenly passed by, and the leaves rustled and swayed down.
He looked at Lu Ze and said, "After tonight, I will return to Beijing first. You can stay and organize the military affairs."
Lu Ze asked in surprise: "Your Majesty will not return to Beijing together with the soldiers?"
The man looked at the yellowing leaves on the ground, and his face covered with wind and sand suddenly smiled, "It's almost September, she's about to give birth, Yan Qing, I'm going to be a father."
I don’t know if he will give her a boy or a girl.
Lu Ze looked at the emperor and when he mentioned the heir, he couldn't help but smile and cup his hands and said: "My lord, congratulations to your majesty on this."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of iron hooves at an extremely fast speed, sending dust flying all the way.
Xiao Yu and Lu Ze followed the sound and saw a soldier in black armor. He tightened the reins, dismounted and knelt on the ground. He saluted and said: "This is sad news in the capital. I have been ordered by the Queen Mother to come quickly to report the news. ."
Sad news.
Xiao Yu's heart tightened for no reason, and he frowned and said, "What sad news is this?"
The soldier raised his eyes to meet the emperor's stern gaze, his chin trembling and said: "Yes, yes..."
Xiao Yu said: "Say."
General Xuanyi took a deep breath and said: "On August 15th of the first year of Yanxi, the Queen died in Kunning Palace."
Xiao Yu looked at him motionless, as if he couldn't hear what he said at all, and time seemed to have stopped abruptly.
I don’t know how long it took, but the man gasped heavily and staggered back half a step.
In an instant, the wind picked up, and the red peace charm wrapped around the hilt of his sword fell to the ground silently.
