They walked along the tall and thick vermilion palace wall towards Fengyi Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids they met on the way saluted them one after another.
Their movements are like copy and paste, just like the common and numerous NPCs in the game.
Rules and solemnity are deeply engraved in the bones of every palace maid, making them unable to forget or escape.
Fengyi Palace was not far from Qianqing Palace. Not long after, Yan Cheng stepped into a palace gate. At first glance, the palace was spacious and the bluestone floor was spotless.
Looking up, the palace is magnificent, with flying eaves, brackets and glazed tiles shining brightly in the sun, demonstrating its supreme dignity.
This is the Fengyi Palace where the empresses of the Great Xia Dynasty lived.
The moment he entered here, the information about the current owner of Fengyi Palace flashed through Yan Cheng's mind.
Princess Nanyou was married to Daxia in the second year of Jingxi. She gave birth to four princesses. She was fair and seldom made mistakes.
As a princess who was married off to a foreign country, she was able to secure the throne of empress, give birth to children, and be praised by the palace ladies. It was obvious that this empress was no simple character.
But the queen was in a bad situation during this period because the two countries were at war.
The purpose of the marriage between Nanyou and Daxia was to maintain peace between the two countries.
Nanyou wanted to maintain its relationship with Daxia on the surface while developing its own strength in secret. Daxia had a new emperor who had just ascended the throne and thought that many things were not settled yet and it was not advisable to waste troops.
In the first few years of the marriage, the two countries were indeed at peace, but after the previous emperor of Nanyou passed away and the enterprising new emperor ascended the throne, the relationship between the two countries became delicate.
A few years ago, the smart people on the Daxia side had sensed the impending storm and thought that the peace between the two countries could last until Nanyou became fully grown. Who could have imagined that the Emperor of Nanyou would be unable to have children?
The Emperor of Nanyou gave up on himself and turned from a diligent emperor into a foolish emperor, causing chaos among the people of Nanyou. The dispute over the succession forced Nanyou to take action against Daxia in advance.
At present, the war between the two countries on the southwestern border has entered a white-hot stage, and the outcome will be decided soon.
Nanyou did not have enough time to bide its time. Although Daxia valued culture over military power, it had once been a country founded on military power and had some foundation. In the battle, Daxia had the upper hand.
Besides, the King of Chu is on the southwestern border.
In the capital, whether it was Emperor Jingxi or the court officials, no matter what they thought of the King of Chu, they all recognized his ability to lead troops in battle, and did not believe that under his leadership, Da Xia would be defeated by Nanyou.
Therefore, the capital was still very peaceful, and the war between the two countries only brought a little bit of news to the capital.
After all, the capital is too far away from the southwestern border, with countless cities in between.
The war situation between the two countries flashed through Yan Cheng's mind, and he naturally thought of the several letters he had received this month.
Kang Jing’s, Yan Miao’s, and his subordinates’.
In the letter, Kang Jing said that he was doing well on the southwestern border. His superiors thought he was brave and resourceful, had people under his command, and had made some minor contributions, so he would be promoted after the war.
From the letter, Yan Cheng learned that Kang Jing had sent several letters to Wuding Prefecture, but for some unknown reason, they were not delivered to him.
This letter was actually brought back smoothly by his men after they went to the southwest to find Kang Jing.
They also took Yan Miao's letter back along the way.
Yan Miao also only reported good news and not bad news. He only said that he had received praise from his superiors over there, saying that he had the talent to be a general and had a bright future in the future, and there was nothing bad about it.
That's a battlefield, how can one live comfortably? How could Yan Cheng completely believe what they said and still be concerned about them?
But I just miss them in my heart. I can't force them to come back because they want to achieve great things.
The content of the letter sent by his subordinates was much simpler, mainly talking about the war on the southwestern border and some good stuff they had obtained there.
Outside the main hall of Fengyi Palace, a palace maid brought the Queen's summons. Yan Cheng, whose mind was wandering, calmed himself down and walked into the hall resolutely.
I was wondering what kind of woman Concubine Yun Shu would be.
Arrogant and domineering? Insolent? Vicious and unruly?
After all, who was the one who gave birth to this body? Although he inferred that Concubine Yun Shu was not a good person, he could not suppress the curiosity that kept surging from the bottom of his heart.
From a distance, one could hear the sound of two women arguing in the hall, each voice louder than the other. The real palace fight was right before one's eyes.
Judging from those sarcastic words, one of them was Concubine Yun Shufei.
Approaching the interior of the hall step by step, Yan Cheng finally saw the face of Concubine Yun Shu on the right.
She is like a red lotus blooming in midsummer, warm and dazzling, with a pair of slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge and distinct contours that add a touch of heroic spirit to her face.
The lingering coldness on her face reflects her confidence and pride, like the cold moon hanging high in the sky.
Although she is already a mother of two children, she looks like she is in her early twenties, which shows that she knows how to maintain herself.
She is worthy of being the woman who gave birth to him and the seventh prince.
The concubines were so engrossed in eating the fresh and hot melons that no one seemed to notice their arrival. Since Yan Cheng had looked at the right side first, he simply looked at the whole thing at once.
Judging from the rank, the woman who was arguing with Concubine Yun Shu should be Concubine Jiang Xian, the biological mother of the eldest prince and the sixth prince.
Compared with other concubines, she looked older and her character was as strong and fearless as rumored. She even dared to confront Concubine Yun Shu, who was at the peak of her career.
The silent and beautiful lady in palace attire further behind should be...
Yan Cheng thought about the nine concubines under the four concubines. The first one was his aunt Yan Zhaoyi, followed by Lin Zhaorong, who gave birth to the second princess.
Normally, the person sitting third from the right should be Lin Zhaorong, but her aunt was in poor health and often took sick leave.
