Before the news from the court reached the inner palace, Yelü Yanyun was already waiting for the emperor at the gate of Qianqing Palace, wanting to tell him the good news!
Meanwhile, the pigeon that the lark used to contact the master in the harem did not fly back today, which made her uneasy!
"Your Majesty! Consort Gui has been waiting for a long time!"
Qi Jingxuan knew they must have come to plead for the people of his northern frontier, so he simply said he wouldn't see them.
Yelü Yanyun couldn't understand why the emperor wasn't frugal with himself, since he hadn't done anything wrong!
On her way back, she encountered several concubines, all of whom avoided her by keeping their distance.
"Yun Que, is there something on my face today? Why do they all run away when they see me?"
Yun Que carefully examined Yelü Yanyun's face and then his clothes, but there was nothing special about them!
"Perhaps it's because the news of Her Majesty's pregnancy has spread throughout the palace, making everyone feel ashamed!"
Upon hearing this, Yelü Yanyun instantly became arrogant, and returned to his Lihua Terrace with his head held high.
"My lord, it seems the princess of the Northern Frontier is unaware of this matter!"
"Furong, look at her. She'll end up just like me. What good can a princess of a fallen kingdom do? She'll just be imprisoned here all day. What does a woman have to do with her motherland!"
Seeing Consort Jieyu's emo state, Furong guessed that Consort Jieyu must have thought of herself after seeing Consort Guiji's fate. Now that her father and brothers had all died at the hands of the Great Qi Kingdom, she had to marry the man who killed her father!
"Your Majesty, do not grieve, nor be angry. Remember what your father told you before he died! You must give birth to the son of the King of Qi. When he inherits the throne, you will become the Empress Dowager. At that time, not only the Southern Frontier, but the entire Central Plains will be yours!"
Princess Nanjiang nodded upon hearing this. Her bodyguards had been hiding and protecting her all along, which was perhaps the only reason she had survived. Killing her father's killer was easy, but how could she avenge the millions of people in Nanjiang?
From that moment on, this small woman shouldered a heavy responsibility.
"This servant went to invite His Majesty to dinner today, but was refused. Your Majesty, please rest early and make arrangements for tomorrow!"
Qi Jingxuan went to Yongshou Palace as usual, but he arrived a little earlier today and did not ask the eunuch to announce his arrival. He just wanted to see what these women were doing while he was away.
"Sister, I heard that the Emperor proposed to destroy the Northern Frontier in court today. This afternoon I saw Yelü Yanyun jumping around as if he didn't know anything about it." Qiao Siyu mocked her. The motherland was about to die and she was still kept in the dark. She was a complete liar!
"You know what, General Xu actually volunteered for the mission. You know, there were also General Zhenyuan and General Pingxi, but he actually went against everyone's advice and insisted on going himself! How could such a good father have such a foolish son? It's really sad for General Xu."
Xi Yun was with the child and didn't know what they were talking about. She only knew that Master Liu's business was about to go out of business and that he wanted to send another daughter into the family.
Xi Yun knew, of course, that if Master Liu sent another daughter in, she would definitely lose custody of the Princess. After all, she had already paid back for serving the Liu family for so many years. Now that she had finally escaped her servitude, wouldn't it be better to be a proper lady in the harem?
No matter how much Master Liu threatened her, it had absolutely no effect on Xi Yun, who had no parents!
"Private key, this is a secret between you, me, heaven and earth, you can't say it again!" Qiao Siyu hurriedly reminded her not to cause any more trouble.
Xi Yun, standing beside her, wondered why these two would be hiding something from her. During the time they had spent together in Yongshou Palace, they had become like sisters!
"Sisters, is there something you're not telling Xiyun?"
Fu Lu Siyue and Qiao Siyu looked at each other, "No, no, they're just childhood friends, nothing to say!"
The Emperor went to the door and listened for a few moments, but Ruan Yumu said he had something to do and called the man away.
All the way there, he kept wondering what was wrong with Xu Yuanzhang.
This man was honest and simple. He didn't have any military achievements, but he always completed the tasks assigned to him in a decent manner. To some extent, Qi Jingxuan just felt that this man was not outstanding, but he didn't seem to have made any mistakes.
"Father!" Because Qi Jingxuan had been visiting his two children frequently during this time, the older one had already learned to greet him when he saw him.
"Oh, my son, come and let me see what you've been up to today. Look at your face, it's all dirty, and you're sweating buckets in the middle of winter! Come on, let's go inside and have your mother wash you up!"
As soon as Qi Jingxuan entered the courtyard, he ignored the mud on the young master's body, picked him up, and carried him inside. It seems that they have indeed developed some affection for each other during this time.
"Oh dear, Yunli, you're so dirty! Ziling, quickly take her to wash up and change her clothes. I have important matters to report to the Emperor!"
After the others left, only the two of them remained in the empty room. "Your Majesty, please have dinner. I wonder if you have eaten yet? Please have some with me!"
When Qi Jingxuan heard Ruan Yumu's concern for him, he nodded repeatedly. In his heart, he was his woman and wanted his care all the time. However, now that he had become a man, he had to shoulder the responsibilities of a man. Although this was what he wanted, he also had to be responsible for the country while enjoying it!
"Take a look at this!" Ruan Yumu handed over a small piece of paper, which was densely covered with writing. It was clearly written in the script of the Northern Frontier, and only a professional could understand it. Qi Jingxuan did not recognize it and was very curious about what was written on it.
