The wind of wonder in Tianyue rises from the frontier fortress

After listening to Wang Ben's arrangement, everyone dispersed.With Zhao Ning in mind, Chu Qingxi walked towards her house.At this moment, I saw Chun Yu chasing up slowly, gave a slight salute, handed over a letter, and said softly: "Sect Master, this is left by Li Wanhua, and I told the servant girl to hand it over to you. "

It was only then that Chu Qingxi remembered that she had not seen Li Wanhua after returning to the General Military Mansion, so she took the letter and asked, "Where is she?"

Chun Yu replied: "Yesterday, the suzerain chased Miss Zhao away, and the empress looked a bit unhappy. Later, someone from Xixia sent an urgent letter, the empress read it, left only this letter, and left in a hurry."

Chu Qingxi opened the letter paper while walking, and saw a beautiful handwriting on a piece of pink paper pinned gold paper, which read: "There is an important matter in the court, and it is too late to say it in person. When everything is settled, we will try to reunite ", the handwriting is rather scribbled, as if written in a hurry, it is Li Wanhua's imperial pen.

It turned out that during the days when the empress was out of the palace, all state affairs were temporarily handled by Zhongshu Ling Wang Yansong.This Wang Yansong is more than upright, but not flexible enough, so when Li Wanhua was around, he was still able to mediate for him. Now Li Wanhua has temporarily entrusted him with the whole burden. This Mr. Wang's old-fashioned and pedantic character immediately taught many state affairs what to do. Do, gradually accumulate.

This time, the officials at the grassroots level were full of complaints and suffered unspeakably, even the civil and military officials in Yuan Qitai, Chaozhong Yuan, were tortured enough by his rigid routine. Discords and frictions emerged endlessly, and above the court, there was more and more intrigue, and the situation was treacherous.

It was also fortunate that the Empress Dowager Zhang was also quite knowledgeable about political affairs, seeing Li Wanhua leaving the palace, he kept his eyes open, and through the influence of her natal family as eyes and ears, she knew the relationship between the several factions in the court very well.Seeing that Wang Yansong couldn't restrain the forces of several parties, if he was allowed to go on, the court might cause great chaos, so Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly revised a letter and sent it to Li Wanhua immediately, ordering her to return to the palace as soon as possible to clean up the chaos.

Although this Li Wanhua wanted to take off the yellow robe from the bottom of her heart, and live a carefree fairy life with Chu Qingxi in the rivers and lakes, but after seeing the letter from the Queen Mother, she still couldn't let go of the thousands of miles of country: "Now the Queen Mother I am old, and the emperor is still in my infancy. If there is any change in the palace, who can protect them well? Even if I am not the emperor, the world of Great Xia will still be safely handed over to the emperor. It won't cut off my Li clan's heir."

When Li Wanhua thought about this, she couldn't help feeling sad.She knew that she was going to say goodbye, but she didn't know when she would meet Chu Qingxi. What's more, when she saw Chu Qingxi chasing after Zhao Ning without looking back, she knew that she was infatuated, maybe After all, it is the emptiness of the mind.

Chu Qingxi had seen Li Wanhua's letterhead, but she didn't know what it was like in her heart.She didn't know Li Wanhua's feelings for her, not to mention that she had received many favors from her, if she said she didn't have the slightest affection for Li Wanhua, it would seem that she was unreasonable.But in terms of sincerity, Chu Qingxi had already given all of her sincerity to Zhao Ning, so how could she share some of it with Li Wanhua?

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.Chu Qingxi folded the letter paper, handed it to Chun Yu and said: "Put it away." Then he walked towards Zhao Ning's room: "Go, go and see An Tai."

Since Zhao Ning followed Chu Qingxi and others back to the General Military Mansion, he had already received the message from Xia He, so he went back to the room alone to avoid being recognized by Wang Ben.Coupled with the fact that his appearance was completely ruined, there was a trace of inferiority in his heart after all, so Zhao Ning naturally didn't want to see people if he could see them.

Chu Qingxi gently knocked on Zhao Ning's room door, and heard the answer from inside: "Who?", just then whispered: "It's me." The door opened in response, and it was Qi Yun who came out. , she let Chu Qingxi into the house, and smiled softly: "Miss Chu is here."

Chu Qingxi greeted her with a smile, while laughing in a low voice, "Where's Antai?"

Qi Yun pursed her lips and smiled, and pointed to the inner room quietly: "The princess is playing with the child." Chu Qingxi couldn't help smiling when she heard this, "She looks like a child herself, but she falls in love with the child. "

Before her words fell, she heard Zhao Ning's coquettish laugh in the inner room: "Ah, why are you so fat? Ah, why are you so fat?", the baby giggled from inside, Babbling, the whole room was filled with anger and laughter.

Qiyun couldn't stop pursing her lips in joy, the child was the flesh that fell from her body, even though she was bullied by Yelu Huala in the Liao Palace, since she was pregnant with this child, she devoted herself to this child. all my love.

Seeing that Zhao Ning loves her child so much, Qi Yun's original heart suddenly fell to the ground, and she naturally served Zhao Ning wholeheartedly, just like in the past when Mu Zong was still alive.

When Chu Qingxi stepped into the inner room, he happened to see Zhao Ning lying on the edge of the cradle with half of his face covered, playing with the little baby.She was holding a colored ball in her hand, which was making the child giggle, and she still stretched out her small lotus-root-like arms, humming and chirping, trying to grab the little colored ball in her hand.

Chu Qingxi walked up to Zhao Ning's side in a few steps, gently wrapped her arms around her waist with one hand, and waved gently in front of the baby's eyes with the other, allowing him to reach out and grab her own fingers.Strange to say, the baby saw Chu Qingxi at the first sight, and immediately grinned, grinning with a small mouth that has not yet grown teeth, smiling like a Wuxi mud fu, it can be described as naive and extremely cute.

Seeing her smiling like this, Chu Qingxi and Zhao Ning couldn't help laughing.Zhao Ning originally wanted to put on airs for a while, but now it seems that he can't pretend anymore.Therefore, she slightly tilted her body and leaned into Chu Qingxi's arms: "Did you see Wang Ben?"

"Well." Chu Qingxi roughly told her what everyone discussed with Wang Ben, and said, "I never imagined that you and I would break out of the Liao Kingdom that day and cause such a catastrophe. This Empress Dowager Xiao Sending troops to conquer the Song Dynasty will inevitably cause the loss of life on the border between the Song and Liao Dynasties and the displacement of the people. It is said that I will not kill Boren, but Boren died for me. Since this matter is caused by you and me, we naturally cannot just sit idly by."

Zhao Ning nestled tightly in Chu Qingxi's arms, and frowned when he heard the words: "The battle between you and Xu Huan in the past still left me with lingering fears. The Liao soldiers were fiercer than the Song people. If they were among thousands of troops, Wouldn't it be more frightening?" She frowned around Chu Qingxi's waist, and sighed softly: "Although you are very capable, you can't beat four hands with two fists, so how can I let you rest assured? Let's go charge with those soldiers."

Chu Qingxi said softly: "It doesn't matter. I still have thousands of people under my command, and Chu Ge, Chu Zheng, Zhi Shan and others take care of each other, so I won't hurt my life." She thought for a while , and said: "What's more, Zheng'er is so focused on sharing the country's worries, how can I, as a senior sister, watch him get into danger and remain indifferent?" She couldn't help but sighed in a low voice as she spoke. : "If something goes wrong with him, I'm afraid Master will really peel off my skin."

Zhao Ning said strangely: "Your master is so eccentric."

Chu Qingxi said with a smile: "There is a reason for this. Chu Zheng's mother was Master's first love in the past, so it is normal for the so-called Ai Wu Ji Wu to give him extra treats. And at the time when Chu Zheng was born, He has been carrying cold poison since his mother's womb, and his body is much weaker than that of ordinary children. Therefore, since he was a child, Master gave him more care and care. In the eyes of us brothers and sisters, we have long been accustomed to it. up."

Zhao Ning looked at the baby in the cradle with a smile, and couldn't help laughing: "That's right. Look at her, although she wasn't born by me, but no matter how I look at her, I think she is cute."

The little baby played for a long time, and had already fallen asleep.Now the long eyelashes are trembling slightly with the breath, and the small face is pink like a red apple, and it looks more and more like a pink face, like a golden boy born into the world.

Chu Qingxi couldn't help poking her soft little face with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Don't say it's you, even I feel very happy." Zhao Ning hurriedly grabbed her sleeve and said with a smile : "She's falling asleep so well why do you poke her? Look at Qiyun and feel so distressed."

Qi Yun happened to bring two cups of tea, and she couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not a blessing she got in her previous life that this little brat won the favor of the princess and Miss Chu, so why should I feel bad about it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ning couldn't help laughing, and said jokingly, "According to what you said, why don't you just accept her as a righteous daughter?".

When Qiyun heard this, she was stunned for a moment and was overjoyed. She knelt down at Zhao Ning's feet with a "plop", and kowtowed her head: "If the princess loves you, this is really a great blessing for Qiyun's mother and daughter. The princess is very kind, Qiyun ...Qiyun..." She was so excited that she stuttered.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Ning couldn't help being moved: "Qi Yun please get up. You and I grew up together since we were young. Although we are called master and servant, I have always regarded you as my sister." She couldn't help stretching out her hand lightly. He patted the baby in the cradle: "This child is really cute. If you agree, I will take him in as a righteous daughter. If you don't want to, I will naturally not force you."

Qi Yun tremblingly said: "I am willing. Of course I am willing." She herself came from a humble background. Although Zhao Ning valued her, she was only a maid in the palace after all.Although the baby's father is the current prince of Daliao, in the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty, after all, it is only of barbarian blood.Now that the four princesses of the first emperor are willing to accept her as a righteous daughter, isn't this child's identity, who has undergone a world-shaking change in one fell swoop, and in such a situation, this Qiyun is naturally wishing and wishing for nothing.

Seeing Qiyun agreeing, Zhao Ning was also happy in her heart, she turned to Chu Qingxi and said: "Let her be named Chu, okay?" Chu Qingxi was startled, and then understood her intention: "Everything As you say."

When Qi Yun heard this, she wept with joy.Since Chu Qingxi agreed to let the child's surname be Chu, he naturally recognized this relative.Thinking that Miss Chu possessed peerless martial arts knowledge, even if she casually taught this child some skills in the future, at least she would have a skill to follow, so that she would not be bullied.

"Then give her a name." Zhao Ning snuggled into Chu Qingxi's arms and said softly, "Think of something nice."

Chu Qingxi smiled and said: "You should come and pick it up. Although I can read and write, how can I compare with you. If you let me pick it up, it will be nothing more than flowers and grass. It will inevitably fall into the cliché. It is still you Think unique, just now it is worthy of our fat baby."

Hearing what she said, Zhao Ning knew that it was the truth, so he didn't refuse any more immediately, and said with a smile: "Nine is the number one, Qing is a noble person. Since she is the righteous daughter of the palace, she is naturally worthy of Jiuqing. Two words. You see, how are you?"

"Chu Jiuqing." Chu Qingxi said silently a few times, nodded in praise and said, "It's catchy, but the so-called Gonghou Jiuqing, she's just a girl's family, so it's possible that you still think she's not good at getting married."

Zhao Ning smiled and said: "Since she is my adopted daughter, her status is naturally no lower than that of a prince. There is something wrong with her name Jiuqing." She took off a drop-shaped suet from her neck Meiyu tied it around Chu Jiuqing's little neck with a smile: "It's just that I am a princess in trouble now, and I don't have anything valuable on me. Only this piece of jade was a personal gift given to me by my father when he was alive. Pass it on to you little guy."
