Tang Yi received the news that the two empress dowagers had "eloped" abroad in mid-June. At that time, it was the scorching heat and when he was upset, no one could be happy when he received such a big "surprise".

She is considered a calm and rational person, but she couldn't help smashing her teacup when she saw the queen's letter.

The queen abducted her mother and concubine just like that!

pit!

She has always been the most cherished person in the imperial concubine's heart. To be pushed back suddenly, it was like being abandoned to her, and she naturally felt sullen in her heart.

She definitely couldn't take this anger out on the queen mothers, so she told the few people standing below to take the blame.

"Why don't you stop the Queen Mother and the others? Both of them are elderly people, and they want to go to sea on a whim, and you let them mess around? It's the sea, not a stream. Who can afford it if something happens? responsibility?"

Lin Yu is the "son" of the guilty minister, and he has experienced several changes. The intimacy and wantonness he had earlier when he was a lieutenant in front of Tang Yi has long since disappeared without a trace. King's words.

Bai Feifei wanted to go back, but because of the strange poison in her body, the antidote was needed to suppress it every six months, so she had to rely on Tang Yi, how could she dare to go back?

Before solving her hidden worries, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she bowed her head in silence, and made a full gesture of a loyal minister listening to the hadith.

Chen Er is Tang Yi's cousin, and her brother who fought side by side in daily life. He has a carefree temper, and he speaks informally, and refuses to take the blame. , not to mention how can we shrimps stop the empress dowager?"

"What about the [-] troops I gave you? You can't do it with just the troops from Nanqiang? General Chen, I'm so disappointed!"

Chen Er is a military general, full of blood, and he can't bear others to despise him.

"Your majesty, you have wronged me. My aunt took the initiative to go to sea with my mother, the empress dowager. I can't stop me even if I want to."

He spread his hands and sat down on the floor, looking helplessly aggrieved.

Tang Yi glared at him, "My mother and concubine don't miss me at all?"

She drooped her eyelashes, looking a little bit aggrieved, but she was beautiful, Chen Er, the elder brother, couldn't help but stared blankly, and comforted him: "That's not true, my aunt asked me to bring you a message. "

"What?"

"Don't miss her, she will come back when she has had enough fun."

"Hahaha..." Bai Feifei had been trying to please Tang Yi all the time, and now seeing that she was angry, she felt a little gloating, so she laughed, just to vent, and restrained herself after two yells.

Chen Er felt that his aunt's words might as well not have been taken. Look, His Majesty's face is getting uglier.

roll--

Tang Yi refrained from shouting.

"Bai Feifei, have you taken back the soldier amulet?"

"It's taken back."

Bai Feifei presented Daqi's soldier talisman.

After more than half a year, this soldier talisman returned to her hands.

Feeling the coldness and hardness of the fine iron in his palm, Tang Yi felt that the dragon chair under him was much firmer.An emperor who cannot control military power is a paper tiger after all.

"Why only one piece?" Chen Er asked Bai Feifei.

Bai Feifei pretended not to hear, and did not answer.

Tang Yi saw that Chen Er's expression was different, "What does General Chen mean by that?"

Chen Er glanced at Bai Feifei, saw that the other party did not respond, and said to Tang Yi: "Back to the emperor, the new Nanqiang king came to the throne, but in the past, there was a flood that was rare in a century, and the people were displaced. The Nanqiang king is deeply saddened. Please become my Daqi's vassal state, pay tribute every year, the only request is to ask the emperor to help them tide over the difficulties."

Although the terrain of Southern Qiang is small, it is very important, and Tang Yi is quite tempted.Secondly, Daqi has been established for many years, and finally it is going to increase its territory again. What a great achievement for an emperor.

"How does the King of Southern Qiang want me to help them?"

Chen Er felt that Tang Yi's tone was a bit heavier than before, and he felt a little uneasy, but he still bite the bullet and said, "King of Southern Qiang hopes that Da Qi can lend them some food and medicinal materials, and if it is best, there are doctors."

"What's more, the King of Southern Qiang wants Daqi to accept some of the people of Southern Qiang. When the post-disaster reconstruction work in the territory of Southern Qiang is done, he will take back those people."

"Snapped!"

The soldier talisman was slapped heavily on the table, making a loud noise.

"Oh, what a breath!"

"My lord, is there something wrong?"

Chen Er took a careful look at Tang Yi, a little worried that the emperor would reject her outright, and that she would not be able to fulfill the entrustment of the two empress dowagers.

Tang Yi became even more angry, and retorted: "Do you think this is appropriate?"

This idiot knows how to fight and kill, but he doesn't know how to turn his head. Can this matter be proper?

Although Daqi has a vast land and rich resources, and the people are hospitable, it doesn't mean they like to accept refugees.

After the flood, there is often a period of high incidence of plague. Who knows if those refugees have been infected?This is one of them. Furthermore, those who escaped and survived thousands of miles are probably all quick-witted and ruthless people. When they arrive in Daqi, they don’t know how they will bully the people of Daqi. ?

I still want food, medicinal materials and doctors, what is it to be a Daqi?In your own back garden, you can have whatever you want?

Everyone wants a good reputation, but there is no need to sacrifice tens of millions of people in Daqi for the sake of fame.

Tang Yi was about to refuse, but Chen Er made her move first.

"Your majesty, this is also a request from the two empress dowagers."

Queen Mother!

Only then did Tang Yi recall the important point, "When you came back, did the two empress dowagers leave? Is there anything unusual about your body? By the way, do you and the soldiers feel unwell?"

"I don't have any."

"Neither did I have any."

"I didn't either. The two empress dowagers had boarded the ship before we left. There was nothing unusual about it."

The answers from the three people below reassured Tang Yi a lot.

"Although the Southern Qiang suffered such disasters, as a friend and neighbor, I also deeply regret it. Natural disasters are merciless, and people are sympathetic, so I naturally cannot ignore them. Later, I will send the servant of the household department to check the treasury to see if there is any food. Lend Nan Qiang a little."

borrow?

Chen Er pulled Bai Feifei, "Why don't you present to the emperor what the Nanqiang King gave you?"

"General Bai, did you miss something?"

Under the oppression of the monarch and his ministers, Bai Feifei had no choice but to take out the things in her arms.

A piece of jade pendant.

Tang Yi recognized that this was Nan Qiang's soldier talisman, but it was not exactly the same as the one she saw last time. This time it seemed to be a bit bigger. To be precise, it was two identical soldiers' talismans joined together.

"what for?"

"The queen of Nanqiang is willing to take this talisman as a token, and hopes that the emperor can help them tide over the difficulties."

Chen Er took the soldier talisman from Bai Feifei's hand and presented it to Tang Yi.

Bai Feifei twirled her fingers, which seemed to still have the touch of a soldier talisman.

Tang Yi saw Bai Feifei's small movements, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Bai Feifei is really wicked, what reason should she find to kick her away logically?

"Tell me, what kind of person is the Queen of Nanqiang?"

Tang Yi saw such a "generous and kind" king for the first time, and it was also the first time she heard about it. She didn't know whether he should say whether he was big-hearted or stupid, but her curiosity in her heart was getting heavier and heavier.

"King Nanqiang is a good man, kind and kind..."

Bai Feifei heard Chen Er's words, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes. She had never seen such a stupid woman as Deshan, who actually handed over all the military talismans to the monarchs of other countries.

"Stupid, weak."

"What's the point of being weak?"

"The current Southern Qiang King intends to no longer be in court in the mountains and fields. It was the empress dowager who persuaded her so she had no choice but to accept it."

There is also such a reason, it seems that the Southern Qiang king is really big-hearted.Maybe she took the soldier talisman as a token for the sake of the queen mother.

Or, did she feel that she took the soldier talisman and was reluctant to let the soldiers of Southern Qiang die, so she would definitely give them food and medicine to help them?In this way, the Southern Qiang King is not too stupid.

The most important thing for Tang Yi to want Nanqiang is its geographical advantage. It controls the sea trade channel and has the most powerful and advanced weapons, such as muskets and cannons.This is also the fundamental reason why Mobei and Daqi are afraid of the small country of Nanqiang.

The soldier talisman given by the Nanqiang King was very much to her liking, so even if it was a trap, she had to bite the bullet and jump.

Tang Yi set his sights on Lin Yu.

From the moment she entered the palace, the former jade-faced general, her most powerful lieutenant general, who was once a heart-to-heart friend, kept silent, like a rotten piece of wood, placed in the corner, silent, and there was a strong smell all over her body. Thick gloomy air.

"Ayu, what do you think?"

The log moved, as if it had sprouted new branches, "Ayu, it's dead."

She put her hand on it, her fingers trembled for a while, and finally put it down.

She still didn't dare to show her most ferocious and ugly side in front of the person she had a crush on in the past.

"Deshan is a very simple person."

Good guy, stupid and cowardly, simple.

This is how several of her courtiers knew the new Nanqiang king. Tang Yi suddenly felt that Nanqiang was no longer a difficult bone.

Tang Yi didn't agree, nor refused, "This is a big matter. I will discuss it with the ministers tomorrow morning. You should all step back. Ayu, you stay."

"I don't know the emperor, what is the meaning of leaving the humble minister behind?"

Lin Yu didn't dare to get too close to Tang Yi, for fear that she would see her ugliness, and fear that she would not be able to restrain the hatred in her heart and kill him.

Although she may not be able to beat Tang Yi.

The death of the King of Yunnan is not a pity, but the death of her mother and concubine was a bit wronged.

Tang Yi frowned when he heard Lin Yu's address. It is true that the King of Yunnan murdered her. Except for the King of Yunnan, she has already treated the rest of the palace lightly. Why is Ayu not even willing to talk to her? she says?Could it be that they really can't go back to the past?

"Don't call me the emperor, call me A Yi."

A gleam flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and then it flew away, "Your Majesty, there are differences between monarchs and ministers."

"Since you still know the difference between monarch and minister, why didn't you obey my order?" Tang Yi was a little sullen, and simply ordered.

"Yes, Ayu complies."

It was that rotten log again.

Tang Yi no longer insisted, "Take off the mask."

She waited for a while, but didn't see the other party's movement, so she couldn't help reaching out her hand to remove it, but her hand was held down, and she raised her eyes and bumped into a pair of sparkling eyes.

"Please, don't."

I hadn't noticed before that there were only two people in the hall this time, and sandalwood was burning in the incense burner. Tang Yi felt that the voice was hoarse and deep, as if it had been smoked with sandalwood smoke.

She had only heard about the matter of the two brothers and sisters of the Lin family, but she didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that the impact of the fire on Lin Yu was far greater than she imagined.

Lin Yu is a rare general and her friend, she doesn't want to give up.

"Ayu, I've always reserved your position for you. Are you still willing to go back?"

A true warrior must not want to be far from the battlefield.

"Can I go back? Don't you care that my father murdered you?"

Tang Yi disagreed, shaking his head and explaining, "He is him, you are you. The time you spend with me is far better than the time you spend with the King of Yunnan. I believe in your character."

Indeed, Lin Yu was the eldest son of the Yunnan Prince's Mansion. He entered the military camp at the age of five, and spent very little time at home. He harbored resentment towards the Yunnan King in his heart, and the relationship between the two was not close.So she believed that Lin Yu would not assassinate her for so-called revenge.

"Thank you." Thank you for keeping your trust in me.

"Can I give you a hug?"

Lin Yu begged.

She lost all her family members, and she unconsciously relied on this "man" who had expected to hold his hand until the end of his life.

Tang Yi hugged her.

"Humph!"

***

After sending everyone away, Tang Yi sat in front of the table and concentrated on correcting the memorial, but it was difficult to calm down when he thought of the coquettish shout before.

Why does Jiajia always play tricks like this recently, put the food box at the entrance of the hall, and then dodged it after making a sound, but didn't open the door when looking for her.

Tang Yi originally thought that Chen Jia had menstruation, and his mood was changeable, but this situation has lasted for a whole month, it is impossible for this menstruation to come for a month, right?

She felt that she didn't seem to have offended Chen Jia recently, she couldn't figure it out, and she had a lot of things accumulated in her hands, so she pressed the button for the time being and waited until she was free to solve it later.

But she didn't know that her behavior made Chen Jia feel more and more unwelcome, and held her breath and refused to see Tang Yi again.

Today, when she heard that her second elder brother was back, she ordered the kitchen to make some more side dishes. She planned to have fun with them and ease the recent cold relationship. She didn't know that she heard Tang Yi flirting with a man before she entered the door. .

Hmph, didn't you say that the name Ah Yi can only be called by yourself?

Hmph, didn't it mean that her embrace only belonged to me?

Hmph, why don't you have time to come and see yourself when you have time to wipe away tears?

Liar, big liar!

Chen Jia was angry because she was angry, but she still put the food box in place.

Tang Yi calmed down after approving, his efficiency improved, and he finished the review after a while, looking at the entrance of the hall from time to time.

Seeing her action, the clever palace man showed a knowing smile on his face, went out of the hall, and went to the side hall to fetch the food box.

The two masters don't know why they are angry, but they can't just stare as subordinates. In this scorching summer, even delicious food will be spoiled if left outside for a quarter of an hour. If it is like this, Yongning Isn't the princess' heart wasted?

If the emperor misunderstood that the princess deliberately used rotten food to disgust her, wouldn't the conflict between the two grow worse?

The master is in a bad mood, what good life can these servants have?

The eunuch in charge arranged for the little maid to carry Chen Jia's food box to the side hall, and kept it in ice water to keep the food fresh, so that it could be presented to the emperor at any time.

Today's pack is Lily Lotus Seed Soup, which nourishes the brain and refreshes the mind, and also has the effect of nourishing qi and blood. It is best to cool off with ice cubes.

It can be seen that although Chen Jia is angry, he still puts his heart into preparing these.

After Tang Yi finished using the soup, he found that his ears were too quiet.

She remembered that there was a small forest at the back of the hall. Her father, the king, was a person who paid attention to comfort and did not pay much attention to etiquette. In previous years, the heat was unbearable in midsummer, so he dug a small pond and planted some trees at the back of the hall to cool off the heat. land.

Later, a monk from Xiangguo Temple said that my father's practice had broken Fengshui, but my father didn't care, and even collected exotic flowers and trees from all over the world to plant in it. Year after year, this place is more exquisite than the imperial garden.

Although this is a good place to escape the summer heat, there is one shortcoming, that is, it is noisy.In summer, hundreds of cicadas are squatting on the trees, which is really annoying.

She has been living in this Qingliang Palace for a while, and she is used to it. The cicadas singing one after another are very rhythmic, which can be regarded as a natural singing, but today the singing has disappeared.

"Liandong, come with me and take a look behind."

……

"Stop screaming, if you call me again, I will catch you and throw you into the frying pan to make sauce to explode the cicadas."

"Why are you still screaming, I hate it to death, I will kill you and kill you."

"Hey, are you laughing at me? Believe it or not, I'll hit you?"

……

When Tang Yi and Liandong approached the forest, they heard Chen Jia's angry voice.

"Your majesty, the princess..." Liandong's expression was as if she had seen a mental retardation.

Tang Yi glared at her fiercely, "Don't you think she's so cute?"

cute?Your majesty, are you not blind?

How dare you call that woman cute with her hair loosened by the branches and her big talk?

Although she complained ten thousand times in her heart, in front of Tang Yi, Liandong held back and echoed: "The emperor is wise."

Tang Yi waved her hand to signal her to go down.

Chen Jia took the net bag and whipped the branches and leaves of the tree vigorously.

"Yeah..."

The gnashing of teeth, the uninformed people may think that she has some deep hatred with this cicada after seeing it?

Her heroic expression of killing the enemy deterred many cicadas, and they waved their wings and left the place, so Tang Yi couldn't hear the cicadas singing in the hall.

After all, if you are a lunatic, you can always hide if you can't provoke it.This is what most cicadas do, but there is still a stubborn cicada that competes with Chen Jia.

Seeing Chen Jia fighting with the cicadas for a long time, Tang Yi saw Chen Jia fighting inextricably, waiting for no results, so he simply picked a few leaves, aimed at the cicadas, and stabbed them all with a wave of his plain hand.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Chen Jia looked at the person who suddenly appeared behind him, the corners of his mouth were raised quickly, but he stopped it forcibly after a while.

Tang Yi picked up the cicada on the ground and was about to throw it into the net bag, but Chen Jia avoided it.

"Aren't you going to be a sauce popping cicada?"

"I won't give it to you after I make it." Chen Jia felt a little offended, turned her head and said, "Anyway, you don't care about what I make."

"Why not rare? What you make every day is better than the day before."

"Really? Have you eaten?"

"Well, of course."

In order to increase his credibility, Tang Yi nodded heavily a few times.

I always thought that the fruits of my labor were thrown away, but I didn't expect that they were all remembered in my heart. The gap between before and after was too big, and Chen Jia was very happy.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Tang Yi happened to be free today, and the place was hidden, so he planned to solve the hidden worries in the near future.

"Jiajia, why did you come here? Was that figure at the gate of Caicai Hall just now? Why didn't you go in after you came?"

It's okay not to mention it, but Chen Jia gets angry when he mentions it.

"Don't dare disturb the emperor's date with a beautiful woman."

Look at this tone, so sour.

"I was talking about business with my courtiers just now, which beautiful woman are you dating? It's too strange for you to eat so much vinegar."

Tang Yi reached out to pinch Chen Jia's little nose, but was slapped away by Chen Jia's palm.

"Nonsense, you hugged her and asked her to call you 'Ayi'."

"Since you heard everything, why didn't you rush in and separate us?"

Tang Yi hoped that Chen Jia could be braver, take the initiative, and be more confident, so that he would not run away from opponents.

Chen Jia didn't understand Tang Yi's thoughts, and only thought that the other party was serious, left his pocket and walked out.

Seeing her posture, Tang Yi knew something bad happened, and chased after her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Back to the palace!"

"Pack your bags and go home!"

Hmph, she is going back home, and she never wants to see this heartless guy again.

Chen Jia walked faster and faster, kicked a tree root, fell to the ground, scratched the skin of his palm, and burst into tears.

Tears mixed with sweat dripped on the wound, salty and painful, so she cried more and more.

Tang Yi picked her up and coaxed her: "Don't cry, I only like you, where did you change your mind?"

The crying stopped suddenly, "Really?"

Sobbing again, he asked, "Then who was that person you hugged just now?"

"It's Ayu, your aunt's son."

"He's a man, how do you hug him?"

"Men also have sad moments, and besides, he is not a man, she is a woman just like us."

thump—

Chen Jia jumped out of Tang Yi's arms suddenly, and asked fiercely: "She is a woman, why are you still so close to her? When did you know her identity?"

"I just found out, I only found out when I hugged her."

"You took advantage of her."

"I don't." Tang Yi felt that his description was getting darker and darker, so he simply didn't answer the question and reversed the situation, "Why do you think of eating cicadas?"

She only heard that eating in Nanyue, Sichuan and Chongqing was informal, but she didn't expect that Chen Jia, who looked delicate and weak, would eat so aggressively.

"Do you really think I'm bored to catch cicadas and eat them?"

"Ok?"

"I was afraid that the cicadas would disturb you, so I went to the back to drive the cicadas away."
