Ever since Xiao Jiayun was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhenbei, the concubines in the harem immediately realized that Concubine Guo was no longer the same person she used to be. Guo Xiner's status was even more noble, and Yuxiu Palace became the most lively place in the palace.
Even the palace maids and eunuchs were in high spirits, walking around with their heads held high. However, Concubine Guo had issued a strict order that everyone in Yuxiu Palace should keep a low profile and not cause trouble.
A second-class palace maid, relying on Guo Xiner's power, actually slapped Madam Xu. When Guo Xiner found out, she immediately rewarded her with several pieces of satin and jewelry to appease her, and then beat the maid with twenty boards and sent her to the laundry department.
At this point, the palace maids in Yuxiu Palace realized that Concubine Guo was strict in managing the household, so they dared not be careless anymore and served her carefully.
At the end of the month, news came from Jiangnan that the prince was about to return.
Returning with the prince were more than 10 million taels of silver and more than 1 million taels of gold.
This trip to the south of the Yangtze River solved the problem of an empty treasury.
Xiao Hanyi received the secret letter, and his heart, which had been hanging for a long time, was relieved. He turned to the Northern Liang envoy Liu Yi with a smile and said, "The prince will be returning to the capital soon. I heard that you two have a good relationship privately. You can have a few more drinks when the time comes."
Liu Yi, “???”
Good relationship?
Where did he hear that? Xiao Conghui, that bastard, plotted against him, he wanted to bite him.
But in front of Xiao Hanyi, Liu Yi didn't dare to be presumptuous and said with a smile, "The prince treats people kindly..."
"With the silver, we can start a war. When we fight with you Beiliang, you..." Xiao Hanyi looked at Liu Yi, "Will you stay here or go back?"
Liu Yi, “???”
Is this a polite question? Did the father and son do it on purpose? Liu Yi was going crazy.
"Look at this," Xiao Hanyi handed the letter to Liu Yi and said, "You were the first to do it."
Last night, news came from the border that a military camp from Beiliang raided the county town of Nanliang. After a night of fierce fighting, the other side claimed that they were thieves in the country and would be severely punished.
Liu Yi glanced at the memorial and was shocked. Why did Xiao Hanyi show this to him?
He was in Southern Liang and could do nothing.
“This thief is too rampant.”
Liu Yi muttered.
Xiao Hanyi chuckled and did not continue the topic. Instead, he took out another imperial edict and handed it to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi took it and took a look.
Um?
this?
She knew that the fourth princess was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhenbei, but what about this fiefdom?
In Beiliang? Liu Yi's mind raced. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Hanyi. Wasn't this guy too arrogant?
"Snap"
Liu Yi threw the memorial in front of Xiao Hanyi, "Southern Emperor, aren't you going too far?"
The envoy cannot lose face, so he has to get angry.
Xiao Hanyi looked at him silently, smiled and said, "Thieves are thieves. I have already sent a large army there. As a token of my respect for them, the Third Princess will be in command."
Also, Xie An was the vanguard.
Um?
Liu Yi rolled his eyes. How could the third princess, a girl, lead troops?
It seems that the border is clear.
......
Twenty days later, Xiao Conghui returned to Beijing.
Xiao Hanyi was very happy and admired the East Palace greatly.
He felt increasingly exhausted, so he issued an order for the crown prince to act as regent.
Xiao Conghui took advantage of this opportunity to replace a group of officials. Someone reported to Xiao Hanyi, but Xiao Hanyi just squinted his eyes and said, "I know."
Liu Qian often went to the palace to ask Guo Xiner for advice and brought some new things to Guo Xiner from time to time. Within a few days, everyone in Yuxiu Palace fell in love with this Crown Princess.
Harmony in the harem...
Two months later, a letter of apology came from the third princess. They accidentally entered the territory of Beiliang while looking for thieves. Unexpectedly, they were able to enter an empty place like a ghost. Now the army was approaching the capital of Beiliang.
Xiao Hanyi closed the letter and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. These two young generals!
After he learned about Ge Hu from Xiao Jiayun, he immediately sent assassins to kill him. Now it seems that Beiliang really has no generals.
"Take a look," Xiao Hanyi handed the letter to Xiao Conghui.
Xiao Conghui just glanced at it briefly. He also received a memorial last night.
"I think we should seize the opportunity to seize the capital of Beiliang."
The father and son agreed immediately.
Xiao Hanyi's confidence comes from the three princesses, Jiang Chi, and Xie An.
Xiao Conghui was even more confident because Liu Qian equipped them with magic cannons.
That thing, siege...
An imperial edict was issued from the Weiyang Palace, and the army sped up eight hundred miles towards the border.
Two months later, good news came from the border.
"Beiliang surrenders!"
......
The court and the capital were in an uproar.
At the banquet, Xiao Hanyi drank two more cups out of joy. Perhaps he caught a cold and developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
The concubines all went to the Weiyang Palace to attend to the illness.
[I feel like the Tyrant Daddy's spirit is weakening.]
He's going to die...
Guo Xiner was shocked when she heard this. Is he going to die?
"Wow"
Xiao Jiayun cried loudly. She felt that Xiao Hanyi didn't have much time left.
This cry filled the atmosphere in the hall with sadness.
If Xiao Hanyi were here, they would be concubines in the harem. Even if they were not favored, their lives would be acceptable. But if... the concubines were childless, they would have to go to the royal temple to pray for the royal family and would not be allowed to leave for the rest of their lives.
When it comes to praying for blessings, isn’t it just the ancient Buddha with green lamps?
The crying disturbed Xiao Hanyi and he said, "Everyone get out!"
He is not dead yet.
After taking the patient's pulse, the imperial physician felt disappointed and shook his head secretly.
Guo Xiner didn't care about being sad, and ordered the palace maids in each palace to strictly abide by the palace rules. Anyone who violated the order would be severely punished.
.....
At the Messenger Station, Xiao Hanyi sat in front of Liu Yi.
