Li Huang

In the warm pavilion, there are also smaller ice sculptures, still decorated with phoenixes, with a cold breath.

I pressed the palm of my hand, and a deep coolness rose, and I stuck it stubbornly, until I felt my hand numb, then took it away, shaking slightly, but I had calmed down.

The most important thing now is to rescue Haoyue. Besides, I tried my best not to think about it, but I knew that I cared very much. I just wanted to know about Wang Yu as much as possible.

Hui Ju brought in new melons and fruits, all of which had been immersed in ice water.

I smelled the clear fragrance deeply, picked up a honeydew melon and played with it, until he came in, I didn't put it down.

"The concubines welcome the emperor to the holy driver."

I saluted me, he smiled and lifted me up, but his face was a little tired.

I handed him a plum, and he took it and looked at the deep purple for a long time.

I walked behind him and pressed his temple lightly and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the emperor?"

He didn't speak for a long time, just closed his eyes, and I waited until he finally spoke.

"There was a report this morning. The southwest border bandits have been rampant recently. I am worried about who I can send to wipe out the trouble without leaving any future troubles. If it is natural to let Xi He go in normal times, but now he is hurt." He shook his head. , Looks melancholy.

I said softly: "My Daxi can conquer many generals, why don't the emperor choose from other generals?"

"Yes, there are a lot of people who can be good at war, but the only ones who are familiar with the situation in the southwest are Meng Hanzhi except Xihe."

There was helplessness in his tone: "Meng Hanzhi is getting older, and Xihe’s injury will not heal for a while. I think I can only use other generals, and I am afraid that people who are unfamiliar with the sinister place in the southwest cannot be completely wiped out once. Eliminate future troubles forever."

I looked down at him, the scarlet golden hairpin on his head glowing with a faint light.

In fact, there is one other person in this dynasty who is also familiar with the environment in the southwest. That is my second brother. The second brother had been in the southwest defending army for a year before, but now he is the general guarding the northwest. The emperor probably forgot.

I wanted to speak. Liu Fei's words rang in my ears today. I am a joke, he knows it, but he just wants to transfer the second brother when he can't think of other candidates.

After all, the second brother had a lot of military power and made a lot of contributions. This is a good thing for my Ling family, but for him who wants to get rid of the Ling family in his heart, it may not be a good thing.

But the national security cannot be underestimated, so he is in a dilemma.

I straightened the scarlet gold hairpin for him, and looked at the drops of water about to drip from the bottom of the ice sculpture in front of me, and the light reflected in my eyes.

I smiled faintly: "The emperor, the concubines don’t know how to fight, but the concubines think that the ancients said that **** is old and hot. Then, to deal with the enemies that have remained for so long, you still have to use veterans, and the emperor can send young ones. The new will go to experience, as long as everything follows the veteran's arrangements."

After I finished speaking, he did not move. He was worried in his heart, worrying that the veteran and the new would not be able to merge and be completely wiped out at once, but he did not want to use the second brother.

For a long time he looked at me, his eyes watered: "You mean to let me use Meng Han's? Why don't you mention your brother? Isn't he familiar with the Southwest?"

I heard the words and knelt in front of him: "The emperor, the concubine's elder brother already has the military power of the Northwest Defender, and it should not be growing. What's more, the court also needs to support new generals for emergencies."

He nodded and helped me up, his eyes filled with smiles.

Meng Hanzhi is Li Fei’s father, so I just put the glory that can be obtained once victory on her. That’s good, Liu Fei will naturally be promoted to the fourth concubine after her birth, so as long as the southwestern crime is resolved smoothly , Li Fei can also get rewards, and naturally she can also be promoted.

All I have to do is to maintain the balance of this harem.

The next day, the generals who would defeat the Southwest were determined. As I suggested, the chief will be Meng Hanzhi, and the deputy will be a capable general under King Yu.

Li Fei's momentum gained momentum for a while, Li Fei did not know where she had learned that it was my suggestion to the emperor, and she thanked me specifically.

She is a straightforward person who loves and hates and seems to be on my side. But how did she know that I recommended her father with her own plan. But in this harem, one less hostility is good.

At night, Shen Xiyao came, and I was using the lamp to trace the new embroidery look, which Hui Ju had brought from the women's workshop earlier.

He stood behind me and looked at it for a long time. I finished the last stroke and looked up and smiled: "The concubine heard that the emperor had turned over the sign of Li Fei, but did not expect the emperor to come over."

He smiled straight at me: "Li Fei will be sent to Yulu Palace in a while, I want to come and see you."

I smiled shyly, but I didn't feel the same feeling when I heard it before. He took the paper I traced and looked at it and nodded.

I saw Zhang Dehai probe his head outside the door, knowing that the time was almost up, I got up and smiled: "The emperor, you should have passed by."

He looked at me heartily, put down the paper in his hand, walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "The next day in the afternoon, I will have a family dinner, and my eldest brother Wei Wang has returned from Suhang."

I nodded: "The concubine will arrange it."

He said again: "I can rest assured if I leave it to you." Before going out, he turned his head and looked at me.

I responded with a sweet smile, and he said: "There is no one in Xihe’s mansion to take care of him, so I want him to go to the palace to recuperate. You will follow me to visit him in Haiyantang tomorrow morning. After all, you sister-in-law, he has not seen him. ."

My heartbeat missed a beat, and I was deeply blessed after a moment of shock.

"Yes, the court concubine sent off to the emperor."

The night wind hit the edge of the carved window, and I could not sleep, the brocade was smooth and cold, and when I turned over, I slid aside.

After a day of scheming, I feel tired. I have never felt like this. I have never felt like I don’t know myself at all. I have never hated my actions like I do now.

But I know that I have to continue, if I want to protect myself in this deep palace, or even protect my family.

Tears slid across his cheeks quietly, and he returned to this palace tonight. Will he have a different state of mind in the place where he grew up.

Thinking of him, my heart shuddered, as if someone was gently pinching the softest part of his heart with his hands. Even lightly, he felt unbearable pains.

Suffocating my breath, feeling the cool air at night, I grabbed the embroidered pillow and buried my face deeply. The darkness around me fell and I finally fell asleep.

Hui Ju came to call me early in the morning and served me to put on complicated, beautiful and dignified clothes, and once again bring those golden dazzling jewels, I just fixedly look at the figure in the mirror that I am less familiar with, lightly He sighed lightly, and walked to the main hall with Hui Ju's hand.
