After Zhao Linger's words, the women present really quieted down.
Even Zhu'er, who was always laughing, kept her mouth shut.
Zhao Linger is the queen. Even if people don’t respect her as the queen, they should respect her as a good sister.
With Zhao Linger around, Zhang Wuji really saved himself a lot of trouble.
After receiving an appreciative look from Zhang Wuji, Zhao Linger unfolded the intelligence report in her hand.
After taking a quick glance, she said to Zhang Wuji, "Young Master, it is exactly what you think."
"The current situation has not changed for the time being."
"Chang and Xu, keep your troops in place near Dadu."
"In recent days, their casualties have been almost zero."
Although it was expected, Zhang Wuji still shook his head helplessly.
He said: "It is not a solution to continue to be in a stalemate like this. Right now, our power is the smallest. If we continue to drag it on like this, I am afraid that in the end, it will only benefit Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiangnan."
Zhao Linger said: "Young Master, there is no need to worry too much."
"The situation on the battlefield has always changed rapidly. Who can guarantee that Zhu Yuanzhang will not be the next Chen Youliang?"
"Thinking back then, Chen Youliang's army of 600,000 was completely wiped out in one battle."
"When we have a decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang, let him also have a taste of Poyang Lake."
After Zhao Linger said this, Zhu'er followed up by saying: "That's right, my brother Wuji is invincible in the world."
"When the decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang comes, I guarantee that he will be defeated even more miserably than Chen Youliang was defeated back then."
The words are spoken unintentionally, but the listening is intentional.
When the three words "Poyang Lake" were mentioned, a hint of excitement appeared on the faces of all the women present.
But there was a hint of sadness on one person's face.
Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang, these six words brought back many memories for her.
The first person to discover this situation was Zhou Zhiruo, who usually didn't like to speak in such occasions.
Zhou Zhiruo first glared at Zhao Linger, then glanced at Gong Yu next to her.
There was no verbal communication between the two of them, but Zhao Linger immediately understood what Zhou Zhiruo meant.
Then, Zhao Linger used her foot to gently kick Zhu'er under the table.
Zhu'er was a little dazed by this kick.
Just when she wanted to ask Zhao Linger why she kicked her, Han Zhao beside her whispered in her ear: "Miss Zhu'er, don't talk about Chen Youliang anymore."
Zhu'er is not a fool either.
Although she is usually not serious, Han Zhao was able to wake her up with just one sentence.
Zhu'er glanced at Gong Yu opposite her.
The expression on Gong Yu's face is difficult to describe in words.
Seeing this, Zhu'er was a little at a loss.
She also understood her own character. Especially at times like this, she should keep her mouth shut. Otherwise, with her character, she might say something inappropriate.
At this moment, the queen Zhao Linger was in the same dilemma as Zhu'er.
After all, she was the one who brought up this topic first.
Just when Zhao Linger was feeling a little lost, Zhou Zhiruo next to her took action first.
She raised her hand, first picked up a piece of food for Gong Yu with chopsticks, and then said to her: "Miss Gong, you have a baby in your belly."
"Your most important task now is to eat and drink well, and don't think about things you shouldn't think about."
Han Zhao also followed and said: "That's right, Miss Gong, you don't know how much I envy you."
"It hasn't been long since you got married, and you're pregnant with the young master's child."
"Unlike me, my stomach is not very good at all. It's just a waste of all the food I ate from you young master."
Gong Yu quickly said: "Sisters, I'm fine, don't think too much, I'm fine, I know what my most important task is now."
Zhao Linger also took over the conversation.
She said to Gong Yu, "Miss Gong, none of the sisters here have bad intentions."
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and you are pregnant now."
"Don't take it to heart."
Gong Yu knew that Zhao Linger's words were already an apology to her.
She hurriedly said to Zhao Linger: "Sister Queen, I really didn't think much about it, even though I am pregnant with His Majesty's child now."
"But my body is not made of clay. You are just caring about me a little too much now."
"I don't think I deserve you to be so nice to me."
Zhao Linger said: "My dear sister, what you said is wrong."
"Sister has always treated everyone equally. We are all your women, so how can I not pay more attention to you?"
"Tell your sister if you have any requirements regarding food and clothing now."
"Even though we live in Hexi now, even if you want to eat fresh fish from the South China Sea, I will find a way to get it for you."
Gong Yu was horrified.
It would probably cost several taels of gold to ship a fresh fish from the South China Sea to Hexi.
Gong Yu quickly said: "No, Queen Sister, I have lived in Jiangnan for many years."
"When I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I didn't eat much other things, but I ate a lot of fish."
"Now, whenever I see fish, I feel like vomiting."
"At this moment, I am already very content just to have a simple meal in this mansion."
"And my silly sister, she is also well taken care of by you, the young master, and all the sisters during this period."
"I don't know how to repay you now."
Zhao Linger said: "Sister, don't worry, we have never treated Gong Wu badly."
"My sister treats her the same as we do."
After saying this, Zhao Linger suddenly remembered something.
She turned her gaze to Zhou Zhiruo.
She asked Zhou Zhiruo: "Sister Zhou, I just remembered how you persuaded that girl Gong Wu?"
"She has become very well behaved since you met her once."
"Every day, we eat all the meals without leaving any leftovers."
As soon as Zhao Linger asked this question, Zhou Zhiruo put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands.
She chewed the food in her mouth for a long time before swallowing it with difficulty.
Zhou Zhiruo said: "There are some things that cannot be said. I am not afraid of anything, but I am afraid that after I say it, it will be bad for Gong Wu."
Gong Yu on the side said to Zhou Zhiruo: "Sister Zhou, what's wrong with it? It's rare for Xiao Wu to become so obedient. Just tell your sister how you did it."
"Sister, let me learn from your experience. In the future, if Xiao Wu is disobedient again, I will use the same method you used to deal with her."
