Comfortable and slim [fragrant honey + white hair + others]

A year later, outside the capital of Wei State.

The banners of the Xiqi army, covering the sky and the sun, fluttered in the wind.The green grass under the feet has turned yellow, and the loess underneath is intermittently exposed.

The sound of "dong dong dong" gongs and drums sounded, and it was time for dinner again.The soldiers gathered in front of the pot and stove in an orderly manner with bowls in hand.

"Next!" the gang leader shouted.

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and came over with a bowl.The gang leader gave him a spoonful of porridge from the stove, knocked on the edge of the stove, and called the next person to come forward.

The soldier made the porridge and wolfed it down into his stomach. After drinking it in two or three bites, he couldn't help sighing.

"Drinking porridge every day will make you weak." He licked the rim of the bowl and swallowed the last drop of porridge.

An older veteran beside him also sighed: "After fighting for three years, it's good to have some porridge!"

This resonated with others, and the soldiers started talking about it.

A small leader raised his chin and looked towards the capital of Weiguo: "We are not bad here, those Weiguo people are much worse than us!"

The other soldiers quickly gathered around and asked curiously: "You are well informed, tell us?"

The little boss looked around the circle and lowered his voice: "Yesterday, I heard from General Liu that the grain and grass in the capital of Wei Kingdom were burned again!"

"What, it burned again? How many times is this?" The soldiers were surprised.

The little boss stretched out three fingers: "The third time, they have already run out of food!"

"That's terrible." A veteran sighed.

The little boss nodded and continued: "I heard that in the city, it has reached the point where bones are broken for cooking and children are eaten!"

"Ah!" The soldiers were shocked, and they all felt that they still had porridge to drink, which was already good.

At this time, the situation in the capital of Wei Kingdom was as dire as that little boss' description.

Aihong spread all over the countryside, starved to death in all ways.On the road, you can see people who are starving and emaciated, and people who are lying on the ground, not knowing whether they are dead or alive.

In the palace of Weiguo, Emperor Wei was eating white rice and was furious.

"Trash, it's been half a year, and Xiqi hasn't retreated, and the Kingdom of Chen hasn't rushed to help?"

A minister knelt on the ground, as thin as a bamboo pole.

"Your Majesty, the capital of the country is now surrounded like an iron barrel, and we have lost contact with the outside world. All the messengers sent to Chen Kingdom for help were also killed by the people of Xiqi."

How could Emperor Wei not know this, he just had nowhere to vent his anger.

Seeing that there was no fishy smell in the bowl, Emperor Wei became even more depressed.He inspected the circle hall, and casually pointed to a court lady who looked delicate and tender.

"It's her today."

The maid quickly knelt down and wailed in despair: "Your Majesty, don't! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Immediately a guard came over and dragged the struggling maid down.

An hour later, a large bowl was brought up, which was full of meat.

Seeing Emperor Wei serving the meal with meat dishes, the stomachs of several ministers were churning, and they almost vomited sour water.

After a while, the ministers left one after another, but a beautiful woman came outside the hall.

The beauty waved away all the palace people in the palace, and came to sit next to Emperor Wei.

"His Majesty……"

Wei Huang raised his head, picked up a piece of meat and fed it to her lips: "Aifei, come and eat a piece of meat."

The beauty blocked the meat he pinched, and suddenly stretched out her hand to touch his acupuncture point, Wei Huang couldn't move immediately.

"Aifei, you..."

The beauty stunned Emperor Wei, went to the incense burner, threw something into it, and left the hall quickly.

A few hours later, the death knell of Weiguo Palace rang, and Weihuang was found to have died suddenly in the palace.

The next day, Prince Wei wanted to ascend the throne, but was dragged down by the other princes in the name of killing his father and king.The princes fought among themselves, and Prince Wei died tragically in court.

The remaining few princes refused to accept each other, and dispatched the only armed force to fight against each other.

Five days later, in the middle of the night, a broken arrow fell from the city wall of the capital of Wei State, without disturbing any defenders.

There were already people waiting under the city wall, picked up the broken arrow and rushed to Xiqi camp.

The next day, Xiqi soldiers gave out two big steamed buns each, and even the porridge was much thicker.

The soldiers knew that this was about to launch a general offensive.

Half a year of siege without attack has already exhausted the patience of the soldiers.Now that the order has been issued, everyone is gearing up.

"Listen, everyone. The general attack is imminent. Your Majesty has an order. Everything will follow the previous example: whoever kills one enemy will be rewarded with ten acres of fertile land; whoever kills ten enemies..."

The generals came to their respective barracks, and the simple pre-war mobilization aroused the high fighting spirit of the soldiers.

With the beating of war drums and the fluttering of battle flags, an order was issued from the camp of the Chinese army, and the Xiqi army, as dense as a black cloud, roared like a tide, rushing towards the capital of Wei State.

Two days later, Wei Guoguo was destroyed.

The flag of the lieutenant flag on the city wall was cut off and fell heavily to the ground.

The new Longtenghu flag, instead of the Wei flag, was raised.

This battle was extremely bitter, and it lasted for three full years. The two countries ran out of ammunition and food, and it was absolutely unsustainable. In the end, Xiqi narrowly won.

Since then, the world has been divided into two, and three quarters have fallen into the hands of Xiqi, and Xiqi has the same momentum for a while.

It's just the remaining quarter, but it's a hard bone.

Two months later, the Xiqi army returned to the court.

Rong Shu and Empress Dowager Fu Yuan, leading civil and military officials, waited outside the city gate.

"Da da da……"

The sound of hooves came to the ears, and the ground shook slightly.On the distant horizon, a black cloud-like army gradually appeared.

The army was getting closer and closer, and at the head of it was a man riding a black horse and wearing green armor, urging the horse and galloping forward.

The black horse ran fast, and soon came to a stop in front of Rong Shu.

Immediately, the man reached out to her and called her name with a smile.

"Shu'er, I'm back."

She frowned and covered her hands with a smile.

"Ace, welcome home."

----

Three years later, Xiqi Palace.

The red palace lanterns hung high under the eaves, exuding festive brilliance, and the lights were brilliant everywhere.

Today is the Qianqiu Festival. To celebrate the queen's 25th birthday, the whole country of Xiqi celebrates.

A banquet is being held in the palace, and the banquet is full of joy, and the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

Rong Qi holds Rong Shu's hand and sits on top.

Below, many ministers of civil and military affairs and princesses and ladies accompany around.Prince Ling Zongzheng Wuyou also brought his concubine Rong Le here.

Because King Ling contributed a lot in the war three years ago, now he has obtained the qualification to freely enter and leave the palace.

Three years have passed, the relationship between Rong Qi and Rong Shu is still like glue.Zongzheng Wuyou saw it in his eyes, and felt depressed in his heart, and he felt a bit bitter in his expression.

Rong Shu looked at him sideways, and asked with concern: "Prince Ling, Concubine Ling, why didn't you bring Ying'er to the banquet today?"

Concubine Ling Rong Le's face froze, and she forced a smile: "Miss Lao, please remember that Ying'er had a high fever the day before yesterday, and he hasn't fully recovered yet, so it's inconvenient to come here."

Rong Shu nodded, and asked the maid to send a hundred-year-old ginseng, and then stopped asking.

At this time, a six or seven-year-old boy next to him secretly sipped the wine in his glass, with a dazed expression, and leaned over to Rong Shu.

"Queen, this wine is delicious..."

Rong Shu hugged the drunk little boy, touched his forehead, and found it a little hot.

She turned to Rong Qi and said, "Aqi, Zhe'er is drunk, I'll take him down to rest first, and come back later."

Rong Qi tidied up the intertwined bead curtain on her back crown, and said: "Go and come back quickly, otherwise the Qianqiu Banquet will be boring without the birthday party."

After she left, King Ling smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really kind to Prince Liang's son. I think she will be a good mother when she has her own child."

Hearing this, the banquet fell silent, and everyone kept silent, secretly watching the face of the emperor above.

Rong Qi glanced at him and nodded lightly, but the hand under the table clenched into a fist.

He and Shu'er have been married for six or seven years, and they have nothing to do with each other until now, and there are heated discussions between the ruling and opposition parties.

Zongzheng Wuyou's words were talking about Rong Qi's pain point.

At this moment, the queen mother came to sing "here" from outside.

Fu Yuan appeared at the banquet wearing a black embroidered golden phoenix dress with a long tail.Behind him, followed by two beautiful women who were dressed as official girls.

After she sat down, she glanced at the empty queen's seat and snorted dissatisfiedly.

"What about the Queen? Don't you even show up for your own birthday banquet?"

These words showed that she was dissatisfied with Rong Shu.

Rong Qi glanced at the two girls behind her, and frowned slightly: "I told her to go back first."

"You think you have no face to be a queen?" Fu Yuan's face became much colder, "A hen that doesn't lay eggs."

"Mother!"

Rong Qi stood up abruptly, and shot Fu Yuan with sharp eyes.

In the past, Fu Yuan had expressed her dissatisfaction with Rong Shu many times before, but she had never shown Rong Shu's face in such a public place as the Queen's birthday banquet like today.

Fortunately, Rong Shu was not present, otherwise Rong Qi would not know how she would feel if she heard this with her own ears.

Fu Yuan winked at the two girls behind her, and the two official girls came to Rong Qi's side and poured wine for him.

Rong Qi took the wine bottle they brought and put it to his lips.

The next moment, he slammed the wine bottle on the ground, his voice was extremely cold.

"What are your identities? Are you qualified to appear at the queen's birthday banquet and pour wine for me?" His eyes swept across the crowd, "Come here, take off the clothes of these two overbearing women and throw them into the lake go!"

When the guard came in, the two women were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with tears on their faces.

When Fu Yuan heard this, she slapped the table and stood up: "Who dares?"

"These two women are the concubines that the Ai family has sought out for His Majesty, who dares to disrespect them?"

The guard paused and looked at Rong Qi.

Rong Qi didn't get angry and prestige, he waved his hand slightly: "Drag out."

The guards responded immediately, and dragged the two crying girls out.

After a while, the crying outside stopped, and two sounds of falling water came into the hall.

All the princesses and ladies in the palace turned pale for a moment, and secretly dismissed the idea of ​​offering women to the palace.

Humiliated by the emperor in public, stripped of their clothes and thrown into the lake, the reputation of the two women has already been ruined.It will be difficult to find a good husband-in-law in the future.

Compared with them, Fu Yuan's complexion was even uglier.

She was trembling with anger, pointing at Rong Qi, speechless: "You, you unfilial son..."

But Rong Qi didn't care, he cupped his hands and said: "My mother has never cared for my son and minister in the past, and please don't meddle in my son's private affairs in the future. All matters in the harem, my son has his own opinions. If you insist on crossing the line..."

He didn't say any more, but Fu Yuan could see the threat in his eyes clearly.

Rong Qi snorted coldly, turned around and left the banquet hall.

Behind her, Fu Yuan roared: "Emperor, do you really want to sever Xiqi Guozuo for her sake?"

He paused and quickened his pace.

At the same time, Rong Shu put Rong Zhe behind the side hall, fed him some hangover soup, and asked the nanny and maid to take care of him before going out.

At this time, a court lady came over and told her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is waiting for you by the lotus pond."

"By the lotus pond?" Rong Shu frowned slightly, not knowing why.

Thinking of the gifts he gave every year on my birthday, she smiled helplessly: "This time, what surprises or surprises did he prepare for me?"

The maid only said that she knew it when she went.

Rong Shu nodded, put on a cloak, and walked towards the lotus pond.

Not long after she left, a figure entered her palace.

"Where's the queen?" the man asked.

The maids hurriedly saluted: "Go back to Your Majesty, the empress seems to have gone to the lotus pond."

Rong Qi frowned, turned around and walked towards the lotus pond.

On the other side, because the lotus pond was a little far away from the Queen's Palace, Rong Shu walked for a while before arriving.

When they reached the edge of the pool, in the deep darkness, there was no one to be seen.

"Azzie?" she called out.

Footsteps sounded, a pair of arms embraced her from behind, and her warm body pressed against her back.

"Aqi?" She wanted to turn around, but was imprisoned by the people behind her.

The panting sound of the person behind was heavy and heavy, a little weird.

Rong Shu frowned slightly, and immediately reacted.

"You're not Aqi! Who are you? Let me go!"

She twisted her body, and the bead curtains hanging from the crown collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

"Shu'er, I love you so much, I really love you so much..."

This voice...is King Ling!

Her elbow slams back hard, knocking the man to the ground.

Turning around to see, it really is Zongzheng Wuyou!

She glared at him: "King Ling, you tricked me here late at night, what's your plan?"

Zongzheng Wuyou sat on the ground with a slumped expression.

"Shu'er, I really love you, you come with me, we leave Xiqi together and never come back again, okay?"

Her brows were furrowed tightly, and anger grew in her heart: "King Ling, what are you talking about? Also, don't call me Shu'er, I don't like people calling me that!"

Zongzheng Wuyou sneered: "Then why can Rong Qi call you that? Do you know that the six years I stayed in Xiqi were all for you! Seeing that you are worried about the situation in the north, I took the initiative to calm people's hearts; You worry about the military expenses on the front line, I invite you to go to Chen Country to raise money and food for you..."

"Everything I do is for you! Why can't you look back at me?"

"Shut up!" Rong Shu shouted, his face was condensed, "I thank you for everything you have done for Xi Qi, but I will not betray Ah Qi!"

At this time, there was a sound of light footsteps, Rong Shu subconsciously wanted to turn around.

However, Zongzheng Wuyou rushed over suddenly, hugged her in his arms, and shouted loudly: "Shu'er, so you love me too, I'm so happy!"

"What nonsense are you—"

She broke free instinctively, wanting to refute his words, but the voice behind her made her freeze.

"Rong Shu, Zongzheng Wuyou, what are you doing?"

In the shadows, Rong Qi's face was hidden in the darkness, only those eyes that wanted to devour others, and his hellish and cold words remained, showing his wrath.
