"You have the best craftsmanship in the hibiscus musk cake. The chefs in this palace still cannot compare to you for many years!" Emperor Liang put down the jade chopsticks in his hand with an unsatisfactory look at Du Xiurong who was cleaning the table with gentle eyes. "No matter how you say you are the lord of the palace, you have left all these things to my servants." Emperor Liang reached out to hold the palms that had been stained with the creases of time, and held its owner close to him, "Today, you can talk to me."

Du Xiurong gave a palace ceremony calmly, sat upright at a stool from Emperor Liang, raised his head and looked at the man in front of him with a faint smile. Du Xiurong's skin was fair and only put on a little makeup, and the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and mouth could not be covered. A simple cloud-like bun was tied with three jade hairpins, wearing a lilac palace outfit, the not-so-wide skirt was carefully closed, covered with a transparent white gauze, and a green jade-colored waist wrapped around his waist. Such a figure was already considered beautiful among women of this age.

"Fu'er, you are still like this, you don't fight or compete, and you are indifferent to fame and fortune. You are truly unique in my harem."

"Your Majesty is a mistake. My duty is to take good care of Your Majesty's daily life." Just one short sentence has already shown Du Xiurong's voice, clear and pure, like spring rain and winter warm sun.

"If everyone in the harem could be as worried as you would!"

"If that is the case, Your Majesty should feel bored. The sisters have their own merits to make the harem full of vitality. If Your Majesty feels that something else is disturbing, come here to be quiet; Your Majesty feels boring, you can go to another palace to find the excitement."

"Hahaha, what you say is to make me feel relieved!" Emperor Liang held Du Xiurong's hand again, "It is a mother like you that can raise a prince like King Yu!"

"Your Majesty is a damn evil spirit. Yun Qi's success depends on His Majesty's careful training and his own training. I really don't dare to take credit for it."

"Okay, don't be so humble here with me. King Yu has revitalized my country's prestige this time and destroyed Donghu in one fell swoop. Do you know what this means?"

"I don't know"

"I have long felt that Donghu was annoying. I occupied a land of water and plants, but I was often stumbling behind my back, so that I could not concentrate on using troops to the north. What was hateful is that I dared to communicate with the court officials to secretly swallow the ore of Daliang, build weapons and form an army, and make ill-intentioned plans!" When talking about Donghu, Emperor Liang was full of seriousness and disgust, and facing Du Xiurong, he changed his gentle face again. "The King of Yu led his army to annihilate Donghu in one fell swoop, expand my territory in Daliang, and completely eliminate future troubles. I am really happy!"

"As a prince, he is also the commander of the Xuanjia Army, Yun Qi has this responsibility. I... I just hope he can come back safely."

"You have been in the harem all year round and have short-sighted knowledge. I don't blame you. Today I am telling you that King Yu is not only intact but also has outstanding military achievements. You can rest assured!"

Du Xiurong, who had always had a calm expression, finally showed a gratified smile when she heard her son's safety. "It's great. Furong Musk Cake is also one of Yun Qi's favorite pastries. I haven't made it for him for a long time."

"They are already on their way back to Beijing and will be able to enter Beijing within a few days. At that time, I will definitely let King Yu live in the capital for more time and let you and your mother and son reunite!"

Du Xiurong stood up quickly, performed the palace greeting with great gratitude, and said with some trembling words: "I thank Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, you are always so restrained." Emperor Liang grabbed Du Xiurong and sat back on his seat. "I know that I have treated you mother and son badly over the years. Alas..." Emperor Liang stopped Du Xiurong's momentum of speaking in time and continued: "Your mother and son are together for many years after King Yu guarding the border. It's not only my fault. This time, not only will you make up for this marriage for King Yu."

"His Majesty?"

"Look, among my five adult sons, only King Yu is still alone. Yun Sheng, Yun Hong, and Yun Rui are not younger than Yun Qi. They have already decided on the princess. I have calculated that Yun Qi is already thirty this year, and this marriage cannot be delayed."

"Does Your Majesty have a candidate in your heart?"

"You understand my heart, yes, I have a candidate. I send an envoy to marry my Tang Dynasty. I want Princess Tang to marry my Tang Dynasty. After much thought, the only one I can match is Yun Qi."

"Go to Tang?"

"Aren't it all intimidated by Yun Qi's military power! Originally, Tang and I have been constantly in conflict with each other. It was this time that Hu Hao shocked Tang. He didn't immediately send the princess to ask for marriage. Princess Tang is the princess's own sister this time. I don't feel wronged Yun Qi, what do you think?"

"Yun Qi is already an adult, and I can't control it. Since Your Majesty thinks the marriage is appropriate, I naturally have no objection. But... Your Majesty knows that Yun Qisu has a suggestion. If he doesn't want it, can Your Majesty forgive this child?" After saying that, Du Xiurong was about to kneel down. Emperor Liang immediately helped her up and explained, "It's also my son. How can I not know about his temperament? I'm discussing with you. If Yun Qi really doesn't want it, I can't force it. Maybe Yun Qi can't be attracted to the princess at a glance. I heard that Princess Tang is very beautiful now!"

Emperor Liang looked at Du Xiurong with a look of distress and continued to comfort him: "Yun Qi is already a prince, but he has not added a pearl. I plan to add the title of Prince of Five Pearls after he returns to the palace. At the same time, you have been serving me for so many years and it is time to be promoted. I also plan to promote you to a concubine on the day I will."

"His Majesty!"

"Okay, these are all what you, mother and son deserve. Don't refuse. I will go back to Chongwen Pavilion now." Emperor Liang held Du Xiurong's hands with one hand and gently stroked the other hand, showing rare patience and tenderness. After seeing Du Xiurong's obedient palace ceremony, he left with satisfaction.

"Empress" Du Xiurong stopped the words of the personal palace maid, and watched Emperor Liang disappear completely before she said lightly: "The emperor's heart is always higher than family affection." She wanted to look into the distance through the copper bell on the eaves, the distance she had been.

Emperor Liang barely sat on the dragon chassis and ordered: "Go to Qiluo Garden". The eunuch Zhang, the close eunuch, quietly approached the dragon chassis and whispered: "Report to Your Majesty, General Yang's scout is already waiting in the side hall." Emperor Liang frowned and nodded. Eunuch Zhang asked, "Set the side hall!"

When Eunuch Zhang pushed open the door of the side hall, the sunlight broke through a gap and shone wildly into the hall, dispersing part of the original darkness, and projected it impartially on a kneeling general. The general was not old, and although he did not have armor protection, his simple outfit had outlined the unique temperament of the soldiers. The general found out that he did not even raise his head and saluted: "See the Emperor!"

Emperor Liang walked to the center of the hall and stood up with the general in front of him. Eunuch Zhang gently closed the door, and the side hall returned to darkness. Only the light cast in the window edge set off Emperor Liang, and the general completely disappeared into darkness again. Before Emperor Liang could speak, the general immediately said: "Che Yashanyu died at the hands of a mysterious man. We are pursuing this person's identity. General Yang found some letters in the inner palace of Donghu and asked the general to send them to the emperor for personal reading!" After that, he took out a stack of letters from his chest and handed them to Eunuch Zhang.

Emperor Liang took the letter and opened it a random letter. Soon after, his originally relaxed expression became serious. As the number of letters read continued to increase, his face became darker and darker. Until all the letters were read, Emperor Liang was already solemn. On this late autumn afternoon, he gave people the coldness of winter. The atmosphere was so depressing that Eunuch Zhang and the kneeling generals were afraid to move. I don’t know how long it took, Emperor Liang finally spoke, and his voice was so cold that he could not feel any temperature. "How about King Yu?"

The general was stunned for a moment. When he thought of this, he asked himself and replied in a hurry: "Report to the emperor, King Yu is well-instructed and did not enter the Donghu Palace as soon as possible."

"Is the command good? How long is the 200,000 army back?" Emperor Liang's sudden scolding was so shocked that the general knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up. Eunuch Zhang stepped forward in time and advised: "Master, take care of the dragon body!"

Emperor Liang threw down all the letters and walked to the doorbar. Before he turned around, the voice came: "I'll leave it to you." After that, he walked out of the side hall. Looking at Emperor Liang's back, Eunuch Zhang bowed respectfully and turned around and said, "Master Duwei, I'm working hard. When I go back and reply to General Yang, he said that the emperor knew everything." The general raised his head and kowtowed gratefully. "Thank you, Eunuch Zhang!" Eunuch Zhang waved his sleeves and said "Go". When the general left the side hall, Eunuch Zhang, with white hair, bent down to pick up all the letters, and folded them into a group without looking at them, igniting the fire note he carried with him to burn all the letters.

Clear stream flows through the head of Bishan

The clear and bright autumn

Thirty miles apart

White clouds and red leaves are faint

Princess Yunxuan, by the pond in Jingye, gently stroked the strings of the piano with her jade fingers, and gently played the same gentleness. Her red lips opened gently, and the music was heard. Along with the bleak autumn, she sang endless thoughts. Yingpin held her skirt and kept her maids from spreading her. She stood quietly outside the pavilion and listened silently until Yunxuan got up.

"Oh, why don't you let the maid say a message when my sister comes?" Yun Xuan was a little surprised and a little embarrassed. "Sister Come in quickly." As she said that, she pulled Yingpin into the pavilion and sat down together.

Yingpin said, "Why does this poem sound like a faint resentment? What's the matter with my princess?"

"Sister, I heard that my father intended to let the fourth brother marry Tang's princess."

"I have heard of it too. Princess Tang is said to be famous for her beauty. How can she feel that she is not worthy of His Highness Yu?"

"The fourth brother is so heroic. Since the other party is a princess, he is naturally worthy, but..."

"Just?" Yingpin looked at Yun Xuan's embarrassment and guessed: "But I worry about her own marriage?"

Yun Xuan looked at Yingpin in surprise, then nodded vigorously, "I know that as a princess, my marriage is never the reason..."

"But your heart belongs to you, and you still can't forget it today?"

"Yeah, for some reason, I miss you from time to time." Speaking of this, Yun Xuan was stained with Hong Fei, and her daughter's shyness was indescribable.

"Okay, only men are allowed to love the women they like, so aren't we allowed to wait for women to love the men? Now that Daliang has just won a battle, even if he wants to marry, another princess will marry to Daliang. You don't need to be the dignified Princess Daliang to marry to another country!"

"Really?"

"What a princess, when did my sister deceive you? The man was not worthy of his military achievements before. But I heard that he made great contributions again in destruction of Hu this time!"

"Sister, tell me quickly, what kind of military achievements has he made?"

Faced with Yun Xuan's excited request for advice, Yingpin smiled helplessly, "I am also a harem woman. How can I know this military and political matter clearly? If you want to know, why do you ask your father directly."

"The father has never let me touch the affairs of the previous dynasty."

"Then... Is it okay to ask him directly then?"

"Which...he?" Before Crazy Red won better, "I don't know how long it will take to return to Beijing."

"Look at you! Since you are so anxious, I will do you a favor."
