Invasion from Beiting

There were no secrets in the harem, and the news of Lu Meiren's pregnancy immediately spread throughout the palaces, and Emperor Yan's blessing to be promoted to the throne had also reached the Summer Palace.

Lu Meiren was promoted to concubine Yi. Emperor Yan Xu had not had any new heirs for many years. The reward for concubine Yi this time was so generous that it made other concubines who were favored become jealous with envy.

Yuan Yuan naturally got the news of his concubine's happiness from the mouths of the palace maids. During lunch, he carefully observed Yan Huai's expression and only mentioned the matter in front of him after confirming that he was not in a sad mood.

Son.

"I've never seen that concubine Yi. I heard that her eyes are very beautiful. Have you seen Yan Shenzhi? I don't know whether the baby she gave birth to is a boy or a girl." Yuan Yuan took a bite of the braised pork ribs, today's meat

It's a bit hard and strenuous.

"Didn't the young master give you any homework today?" Yan Huai mentioned her homework in confusion. Yuan Yuan immediately picked up a few pieces of ribs and put them into a bowl, looking at him warily.

Yan Huai didn't expect that he just teased her once or twice, but his image in her mind was already comparable to that of a wolf, tiger, and leopard, and she actually started to be wary of him?

"I just want to ask, why are you so nervous?" Yan Huai reached out and gave her a small piece of crispy meat, and Yan Huai calmly calmed down Yuan Yuan's wariness.

Yuan Yuan obviously had a shadow after being deceived by him before, so he preemptively stated that he was very busy, "Young Master has assigned a lot of homework, you are not allowed to give me rehearsals again, I will be angry!"

"No, I will take you to catch rabbits for the spring hunting in a few days." It is already mid-February, and Emperor Yan has already made arrangements for the spring hunting in the past few days. As the prince, he naturally has to participate

one of them.

When she heard that she could go catch little rabbits, she would have looked at him with bright eyes. She hadn't been to spring hunting yet!

"Yan Shenzhi, I want to go! I want to eat roast rabbit! Roast venison! It must be delicious!"

At the end of February, Emperor Yan led all the ministers and concubines from Yanjing to the royal hunting ground fifty miles away for spring hunting.

Yuan Yuan was catching up on her sleep in the camp. The little girl was so excited yesterday that she fell asleep for half the night. She set off early this morning. Even after sleeping in the carriage all morning, she still couldn't cheer up. Yan Huai was worried about her.

, he forced her to rest in the tent and went to Emperor Yan's tent.

When Yuan Yuan woke up after a full sleep, Yan Huai had already returned from hunting with Emperor Yan. He shot two rabbits and three pheasants. Because he was still young, he could not finish hunting the more ferocious animals on his own for the time being.

.

Seeing Yan Huai squatting outside the tent and roasting rabbit with Chai Feng, the fragrant smell made her even hungrier.

"Yan Shenzhi, it smells so good! Is this the rabbit you beat for me? It's such a fat one!" Yuan Yuan took the pony from Qing Yi and sat down next to Yan Huai.

"Young Highness, you don't know that Your Highness showed off his skills in front of the ministers this afternoon. He shot two rabbits and three pheasants! It was so awesome! The second prince picked up a sick bird whose leg was injured by others.

Rabbit, look how happy he is."

Xiao Dezi was very disdainful of Yanchi's behavior of picking up leaks. His Highness was the most powerful one and had won the honorable title. There was no need to pick up other people's things.

Yuan Yuan's achievements in Yanhuai's achievements are naturally comparable to those of Yourong. Although Yanhuai usually likes to bully others, Yanhuai's excellence cannot be erased. Yuan Yuan also proudly agreed to Xiao Dezi's words, "Of course.

, Yan Shenzhi is very powerful!"

"Yes, Your Majesty has praised His Highness so much! And the Duke gave His Highness a little fox today and said that he would use the fox skin to make a beautiful scarf for His Highness." While the two of them were talking,

The masters were all happy. As Xiao Dezi was responsible for the atmosphere of the East Palace, he naturally had to liven things up and say more nice things to make the masters even happier.

"Really! Grandpa is so awesome! Yan Shenzhi, I'm going to see grandpa to see the fox skin, and leave the rabbit meat for me!" After Yuan Yuan finished speaking, he was about to run away, but Yan Huai stretched out his hand to hold him back.

"The rabbit meat is roasted. After eating, I will take you to find Grandpa Yuan." After Yan Huai finished speaking, he pulled off a fat rabbit leg and handed it to Yuan Yuan.

In the face of delicious food, Yuan Yuan gave in without saying a word, and decided without any hesitation to finish eating before going to see the fox skin that her grandfather had given her.

When she went to Yuan Zhentian's tent after eating and drinking, she was told that Yuan Zhentian had been summoned to the big tent by Emperor Yan. However, the Duke of Guo had left a message. If His Highness came to see the fox skin, he could bring him

Watch her.

The fox skin had just been removed from the fox's body and had been simply processed. Although the hair was still a bit messy, the white hair felt very good and I could not put it down and played with it.

"If you like it, I will give you a fox next year and make it into a cloak to keep out the cold." Yan Huai reached out and handed the fox skin in her hand to Qing Yi, leading her back to his tent.

Just halfway through, Xiao Dezi hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has issued an urgent order to go to the big tent immediately."

"Send Xinxin back." Yan Huai handed the man to Zhui Feng, then changed lanes and headed to the big tent. Xiao Dezi quickly followed.

In the big tent, Emperor Yan was sitting on the dragon chair with a sullen face. Yuan Zhentian was standing beside him with an ugly expression. Also in the tent were Prime Minister Fu and General Guo, both of whom looked very calm.

Yan Huai quickly stepped into the tent and first saluted Emperor Yan to say hello, "My son, I have met my father."

"I have met Your Highness." Yuan Zhentian and others also saluted Yan Huai at the same time.

"Be careful, please sit down first." Emperor Yan heard the eldest son's heavy breathing and knew that he was here in a hurry, so he asked Huan to pour him tea first to calm his breathing.

After seeing Yan Huai take a sip of hot tea, Emperor Yan slowly said, "Beiting unilaterally tore up the peace covenant and suddenly united with several small countries around Dayan to attack our Dayan border fortress. Our army was unprepared and has lost a city.

, my son, what do you think we should do with this battle?"

"It is my duty to fight, regain the lost territory, and level the Beiting." The safety of the family and the country is at stake, and Yan Huai has always believed in responding to the invaders with violence.

"What my son said is true!" Although Emperor Yan was at Yanhuai, he was looking in the direction of Prime Minister Fu and General Guo.

It was not a secret in the court that the prince was a martial artist, but as a civil servant, Prime Minister Fu naturally respected peace as the most important thing. Therefore, before the arrival of Yanhuai, he proposed to reach a reconciliation with Beiting to prevent the people on the frontier from suffering the pain of displacement.

"Your Majesty, I still advocate reconciliation. The cold winter has just passed, and the people are preparing for farming at this time. If a war is launched at this time, I am afraid that the people will not survive." Prime Minister Fu was a typical whip who did not hit himself.

I don't know the pain, I can only talk about some innocuous truths.

Emperor Yan had given up listening to his opinion and turned to General Guo, "Does Guo Aiqing think this battle is safe?"

General Guo is also a fierce general who has fought on the battlefield, so he naturally knows that the war is dangerous, but personal interests aside, if the barbarians invade, if they do not fight, they will just retreat, and the country will be destroyed.

"Back to Your Majesty, I believe that this battle must be fought. It may take four or five years to defeat Beiting, but I am confident that I can win Beiting! Please give me your generals. I am willing to lead the army to conquer Beiting immediately!"
