“Long’er, you are a prince now. A prince cannot eavesdrop on other people’s conversations, especially since you are sitting on the wall watching openly.”
Cen Ang and He Yi finally understood why the ladies in their neighborhood sighed when they saw them.
This is clearly sympathy!
"I'll just take a look, Mother, just a couple of glances. You have no idea how low their two concubines can fight over a kite. How degrading!"
"So what? What does it have to do with you?"
“It has nothing to do with me. I was just watching. Then I gave each of them a kite, which I made myself. They never fought again. They even passed me snacks over the wall. Sometimes they would come over and learn some tunes from the older girls. Now we get along really well as neighbors.”
"I'm amazing, Mom. Look, your daughter is good at everything. No one in the court dares to mess with me, and I get along well with my neighbors. You have to keep me in check."
Cen Ang and He Yi made eye contact, then quickly looked away. Who are these two concubines from? Is their master alright?
Will I get beaten up if I let those girls from the brothel take care of me?
"Grandpa, how did that go? Did it work out?"
Ignoring the inner struggle of his two mothers, Huo Xiaolong directly asked Eunuch Wang.
"Alright, you can come tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll start intercepting carrier pigeons tomorrow."
"Should Grandpa go to the palace to stop it one last time for you? What if he can't?"
"no!"
Before their daughter could speak, Cen Ang and He Yi stood up, and the woman in black armor looked at the old man and said...
"Godfather, you should stay home and enjoy your retirement. Long'er, you should handle official business these next few days. I'll go to the palace."
"You've worked so hard these past few days. Mom will go and visit the neighbors. Be good at home, okay?"
Huo Xiaolong nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to my mother."
She then walked out of the room with Eunuch Wang, and the two of them sighed together.
"Why is Your Highness sighing? If you're unhappy about something, your grandfather will help you."
"I just feel that even when I'm eighty years old, will my two mothers still treat me like a child like they do now?"
Those two concubines used to be cousins, but they fought every day because they were bored in the backyard. Look how good they are now, they don't miss men anymore, and they don't fight anymore. Isn't that great?
Huo Xiaolong didn't quite understand what his two mothers were worried about.
Little did they know that the traditions of those brothels were somewhat frightening. Which girl didn't know a little martial arts? Could anyone withstand those coquettish little punches?
Can those two cousins sing little tunes over here?
Whether there's something to do or not, can you not take a couple of moves and get by?
If they're having a romantic time in the backyard and one of them punches the master into bed, that would be a disaster.
The Prince of Zhenbei's residence has five lines of defense to intercept the warlord's carrier pigeons. The interception itself is not the main point; the main point is to switch the messages inside.
This is something that needs to be done by professionals.
For example, Xiao Xiaogou, and Jiang Tianyang's little falcon.
Two large birds herded the carrier pigeons into Huo Xiaolong's courtyard like pigs. The two children couldn't distinguish between carrier pigeons; any pigeons wandering around the capital with something tied to their legs were all herded back.
When attacked from both sides by an eagle and a falcon, what pigeon wouldn't tremble?
"Is this it, Brother Tingche?"
The refined man shook his head, fed the pigeon in his hand a little bit of spiritual spring water, and released it.
The people in the courtyard have become numb these past few days. Just arresting people won't work; it would be embarrassing to arrest the wrong person. They should give them some benefits, right?
"This, this is, Long'er."
The little girl grabbed a carrier pigeon and slapped the bamboo tube and letter together in front of Huo Xiaolong.
It clearly stated that Xiao Lanyi could only hold on for a little over a month, and Long'er summoned a sharp sword.
"Your Highness, how should it be written?"
“Write down the words on this page: ‘The borders of the nation are about to be breached, danger looms.’”
"The more serious the better."
A sharp sword wields an ink brush.
Just after dinner, Huo Xiaolong was escorted into the palace by Lu Kai.
"My dear minister, is there really no other way?"
Yuwen Xuanhong looked down at the Prince of Zhenbei. At this moment, only the Prime Minister could make a decision for her. Grand Tutor Xu was bedridden, and the Empress Dowager had been feeling dizzy for several days. The imperial physician took her pulse and said that she was suffering from cold and deficiency, and that the Empress Dowager was old and needed to take good care of herself.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go."
"I am more valiant and skilled in battle than the Imperial Concubine. You only need to send me a troop, and I will certainly live up to your expectations. I will not return to the court until I have retreated to Da'an!"
With such a chatterbox, the Emperor is afraid you won't come back.
The man glanced at the Grand Chancellor of the Imperial Court, and the old man nodded to him.
Over the years, the prime minister has never interfered with the emperor's thoughts, but when he is needed most, the old man will give the answer that is most beneficial to the emperor.
Therefore, Xiao Lanhua had to leave the palace.
"By imperial decree, Consort Xiao is a member of the family of Marshal Xiao. Currently, Da'an is besieging Dongyu for supplies, and the Xiao family needs to go out to relieve the siege. Therefore, Consort Xiao is hereby ordered to don armor and lead the army straight to Dongyu and break camp immediately. This is the imperial decree."
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
This was the first time in many years since Consort Xiao entered the palace that she had willingly uttered these words.
Brother Cheng.
wait for me.
"Your Highness, please start packing now. Military matters cannot wait."
Lu Kai pleaded with Xiao Lanhua, believing that no one in the world would give up wealth and honor to suffer on the battlefield.
Xiao Lanhua nodded.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will set off as soon as possible."
Qingsong and Fuzhong behind them had long since disappeared. Inside the Consort's palace, Shuhua Hall, the two of them kept stuffing gold, silver, valuables, and personal clothing into their bundles.
"This is our first time leaving the palace. Do we need to bring this to the battlefield?"
"Why are you carrying a jade plate? To dazzle the enemy?"
"But our lady loves to eat with this. What if she can't eat without it?"
"You're kidding me. Our lady has one of the best appetites on the battlefield, so don't worry."
"And this one? This hairpin..."
"Alright, alright, go pack your own things, I'll pack for Her Majesty."
Qingsong didn't blame him. Once you enter the palace, you may never be able to leave, especially for people like the two of them who are among the most important people around their master.
Xiao Lanhua also wanted to let the two of them go, but if they both left, how could she endure being alone in the palace?
The long sword, long untouched by blood and dust, hummed as the woman touched it, as if it knew that the woman who had fought on the battlefield was returning to her rightful place.
