Chapter 634 Good News
The Liao army was defeated by the prince's army and suffered heavy losses.
The remaining defeated troops fled back to the Liao Kingdom in a panic.
The prince did not give up and ordered the pursuit to continue.
An army of 80,000 rushed into the Liao Kingdom.
They burned and looted along the way, retaliating for all the actions of the Liao soldiers in Dasheng.
Smoke of war rose throughout the Liao territory.
The Liao soldiers sent out their best troops and fought desperately, and assassins infiltrated the Sheng army with the intention of assassinating the prince.
But no matter what means they used, they could not hurt the prince at all.
Especially when the Liao soldiers saw the arrow flying towards the prince but being blocked by an invisible barrier, they were all terrified.
The scene was really too unbelievable.
It was as if there was a magical force protecting Prince Dasheng.
Although the Liao soldiers were brave, their bravery was only directed at mortals. Obviously, the prince of the Dasheng Dynasty was not among mortals.
Faced with the invulnerable Prince Dasheng, the Liao soldiers began to feel afraid.
They didn't even dare to aim their swords and arrows at Prince Dasheng.
The morale of the Dasheng army grew, while the Liao army was defeated.
As one side gained strength while the other lost, the defeat of the Liao Dynasty was inevitable.
When the crown prince led his army into the capital of Liao, the king of Liao had to lead the princes and nobles out of the city to surrender, ask for submission, and voluntarily present the seal of the king of Liao.
The prince accepted the seal of the King of Liao and ordered his men to send the seized gold, silver, jewelry and prisoners of war back to Shengjing.
The news of the crown prince's victory over the Liao army reached Shengjing.
The people were all delighted, and the court officials also praised the prince highly.
Even those who previously thought that the prince was too impulsive have now changed their tune, thinking that the prince was foresighted.
The team carrying gold, silver, jewelry and Liao prisoners of war entered Shengjing and marched towards the imperial palace in a mighty procession.
Countless people gathered on the road to watch.
Over the years, the Great Sheng Dynasty had fought countless battles of varying sizes with the Liao Kingdom, but they had never broken into the Liao capital, let alone a grand occasion like today.
Everyone just felt very happy.
Marquis Dingbei was particularly happy, and specially called the disabled veterans in the mansion to go to Liuguang Pavilion for a good meal.
They poured the wine on the ground as a toast to their deceased family members and comrades.
The prince led the army to evacuate from the Liao Kingdom and then went to Xiling County.
King You is still alive, and the remnants of the rebels in Xiling County have not yet been completely eliminated, so the war is still going on.
Winter has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Shengjing City welcomed the first snow of this year.
Xiao Xixi put on a thick coat and skirt.
She sat cross-legged on the cushion, holding the heater in one hand and a playing card in the other.
Concubine Li sat on her left and Yao Zhaoxun sat on her right.
Three people are playing Landlord.
Concubine Li was the landlord in this round. She proudly shook the card in her hand and said, "I only have one card left."
The cards in Yao Zhaoxun's hand were not working, so she could only turn around and look at Concubine Xiao, hoping that she could turn the situation around.
Concubine Xiao did not disappoint her expectations. First she had a series of straights, and then two threes for one, and she had no more cards in her hand.
Concubine Li threw the playing cards in her hand onto the table, feeling helpless and furious.
“Ahhh why am I losing again?!”
She felt her purse and it was empty.
When Xiao Xixi saw her like that, she knew she had lost everything again.
Yao Zhaoxun had learned her lesson. Now she was very cautious when playing cards. She always played the role of a farmer with Concubine Xiao. Although she still didn't win as much as Concubine Xiao, she still won some money. Compared with Concubine Li, she was very lucky.
Xiao Xixi smelled the fragrance in the air and knew that the roasted sweet potatoes were ready to be eaten.
She quickly asked Baoqin to dig out the sweet potatoes buried in the brazier.
The fragrant roasted sweet potatoes were placed on the table.
Xiao Xixi invited Concubine Li and Yao Zhaoxun to eat together.
Concubine Li disliked the roasted sweet potatoes as a rough food that was not presentable, but she couldn't control her claws and picked the largest roasted sweet potato.
Peel the sweet potato and take a bite.
So delicious!
Xiao Xixi asked as she ate: "How much do you weigh now?"
Concubine Li froze while eating sweet potatoes.
In order to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, Concubine Li lost weight crazily and finally reduced her weight.
But then she started letting herself go again, eating and drinking without restraint, and her weight soared again.
Now she has become fat like a ball again.
Concubine Li's eyebrows were raised and her chubby white face was wrinkled, like a big meat bun.
"What do you care?!"
Xiao Xixi sighed: "Do you know what is the most unfaithful thing in the world?"
Concubine Li had a feeling that what she was going to say next would not be good, so she immediately shut her mouth and did not respond.
However, Yao Zhaoxun could not suppress his strong desire for knowledge and asked curiously.
"What is it?"
Xiao Xixi: "The most unfaithful thing in the world is money. We agreed to go out together, but in the blink of an eye, it went into someone else's pocket."
As she spoke, she gave Concubine Li a meaningful look.
Concubine Li: "..."
She thought of her empty purse and was speechless.
Xiao Xixi asked again: "Do you know what is the most loyal thing in this world?"
Yao Zhaoxun continued to do his duty and supported the joke: "What is it?"
Xiao Xixi: "The most loyal thing is naturally fat meat, which can't be shaken off no matter how hard you try."
Concubine Li: "I suspect you are implying something about me."
Xiao Xixi: "Be more confident and remove the first three words."
Concubine Li: "..."
Until leaving Qingge Palace, Concubine Li's face was still dark.
She secretly swore that she would not come to Qingge Palace again for this month!
Since the Crown Prince was away, Concubine Jing and Concubine Bai rarely went out, and everyone else was also very well behaved.
The entire East Palace was unusually peaceful and harmonious.
Yao Zhaoxun, a gossip expert, has been feeling very empty as he hasn't been able to dig up any information recently. He often comes to chat with Concubine Xiao. If he runs into Concubine Li, the three of them will get together to play cards.
Every time it ends with Concubine Li losing all her money and then being so angry with Concubine Xiao that she leaves.
Yao Zhaoxun has never been able to understand what the relationship between Concubine Xiao and Concubine Li is?
Do you think they have a good relationship? It doesn't seem like it. After all, Concubine Li always has a bad face when she sees Concubine Xiao.
What if they had a bad relationship? But Concubine Li would come to play cards with Concubine Xiao every now and then.
Women are so hard to understand!
Time goes by day by day.
As the end of the year is approaching, the palace begins to prepare for the New Year.
Xiao Xixi’s biggest thought for the Chinese New Year is to have lots more delicious snacks.
On New Year's Eve, the Queen Mother had a reunion dinner set up in the Bigui Pavilion, and all the concubines, princes and princesses from various palaces were present.
Even the emperor, who was ill, came.
There was a Taoist priest following him.
The Taoist priest was highly regarded by the emperor. Not only was he given a seat by the emperor, but the seat was also very close to the emperor's.
You should know that the seats here are arranged according to status.
The closer you are to the main seat, the higher your status.
