The princess' little concubine wants to reconcile [Rebirth]
Chapter 74 [Ten Thousand Words 1 Update]
It was foggy in the morning of late autumn, and the chariots and horses were already ready to go.
Sister Dai was sent off by the local officials, and Liu Meier was among the officials, looking at the flag of the Jiang State that was faintly engulfed in the mist.
Liu Meier knew that Sister Dai had a heavy responsibility, and it was not easy for her to come to see her.
So no matter how reluctant Liu Meier was, she still dealt with affairs as usual, and because of the secret drawings that Sister Dai handed over in private, Liu Meier had one more task in her daily life.
The water channel under the new capital has always been the most complicated and critical project. Simply looking at manual excavation is too time-consuming and laborious, so Liu Meier used the water of the river channel to scour and excavate it day and night.
After carefully examining the drawings given by sister Dai, Liu Meier deliberately selected illiterate craftsmen who did not speak the same language to build a secret passage under the princess mansion.
In order not to make the officials suspicious, Liu Meier was simply responsible for the project planning of the entire street.
In this way, when the heavy snow came, most of the city walls of Xindu were built, and the houses on the main street had begun to show their scale.
The most important palace in Xindu has been built with palace bricks and tiles, and a large number of craftsmen are working in it, the scene is particularly spectacular.
The vermilion palace road became more and more red because of the white snow. Liu Meier held an umbrella with one hand and stepped on the snow to check the condition of each palace wall over and over again.
In the beginning, in order to facilitate the improvement of construction progress, Liu Meier gradually divided many fortifications to different officials early on, and the officials only need to arrange for their craftsmen to complete the projects at hand one by one.
This can greatly reduce the time required, but it is also prone to some problems.
For example, because the scale of Xindu is too large and the communication between officials is not timely, it is easy for some handover fortifications to be flawed.
If the problem lies in the high-rise buildings on the city wall, there will be accidents of collapse and death, and if it occurs in the underground waterway, it will cause more problems.
For this reason, Liu Meier had to convene the officials to discuss the fortification drawings over and over again, and communicate the details of the fortifications in their hands in advance.
The strong wind and snow made Liu Mei'er's cheeks ache, and even the hand holding the oil-paper umbrella was red and swollen.
"My lord, the wind must be too strong." The servant Xiaofeng shivered from the cold.
"After half a month, the wind and snow will be even bigger." Liu Meier's eyes showed melancholy, as the snow became deeper and deeper, the fortifications had to be delayed.
After all, there will be several inches of ice in the ice and snow, and I am afraid that the construction of high-rise buildings in the streets will need to stop for a while.
That's why Liu Meier had to make inspections and arrangements in advance, otherwise, in the twelfth lunar month, she could only focus on the fine work of furnishing and decorating the palace.
When the wind and snow enveloped the entire Jiang country, Jiang Guo Chaotang was discussing extremely intensely how to deal with the matter of Mo country returning to the tribe.
Nine out of the thirteen tribes of the Mo country surrendered to the third prince, Mo Tai, while the remaining four tribes were filial and loyal to the eldest prince, Mo Yao.
The nine tribes of the third prince Mo Tai were hunted down and only four tribes remained, but the heads of these four tribes all returned to the Feng people.
The eldest prince Mo Yao and the second princess Mo Yang fought back and besieged the two armies all the way. In the end, only one of the four tribe chiefs survived.
It is reasonable for the foreign army to besiege the major tribes of the Mo country as a joint effort to fight against the enemy, but the third prince Mo Tai pretends to cater to the banquet, instead first kills the eldest prince Mo Yao who is the successor to the orthodox throne, and is later captured by the Feng country and takes the initiative to proclaim himself a vassal.
According to the report from the front line, Jiang Guo captured Princess Moyang and the youngest son of the eldest prince Mo Yao. If he ascended the throne with the orthodox blood, it is natural that the youngest son of the eldest prince Mo Yao is the successor of Mo Kingdom.
After all, only in this way can Jiang Guo take advantage of the situation and coerce the youngest son to control the scattered tribes and vast grasslands in the Mo country.
But Fengguo strongly recommended Moyao, the third prince of Moguo, as emperor, and even made him a prince himself.
Now that the country of Mo has existed in name only, the relationship between the country Jiang and the country of Feng seems to be in danger.
The courtiers each have their own views, but generally they can be divided into two factions for the time being. One side is the officials of the main combat faction who think that they should take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and severely damage Fengguo to unify the world in one fell swoop.
The peace faction on the other side thinks that the war with Mo country is already the limit of Jiang country, and the supply of food and grass is not enough in the cold winter months. If the army does not return for a long time, it may easily fall into the sand.
Prince Jiang Hui looked hesitantly at the courtiers' dispute, but her aunt kept silent, so she only temporarily suppressed the matter in her heart.
When the morning court was over, Prince Jiang Hui personally asked, "Auntie, do you think we should fight Feng Guo or not?"
Jiang Changdai looked at the Chinese script in her hand and said, "Does the prince want to rule the world?"
"I thought about it myself." Prince Jiang Hui has read poetry and books since he was a child, including many history books from many countries.
I am deeply saddened by the fact that Jiang was humiliated and nearly destroyed by neighboring countries many times in the past hundred years.
"Then be ready to fight and deal with any harsh conditions proposed by Fengguo." Jiang Changdai closed the document and looked at the young prince, suddenly feeling that he was not really like Jiang Feng, but more like his mother, Concubine Song Xian.
"However, Jiang Guo's army has traveled a long distance, and it is too difficult to attack Feng Guo." Prince Jiang Hui looked embarrassed, and naturally knew the dangers of the frontline soldiers, "How about defending the territory of Mo Guo first?"
Jiang Changdai was quite satisfied to see that his mind was so calm, but sometimes he was cowardly if he was too calm.
"A truly outstanding emperor will not let people guess what he wants." Jiang Changdai slowly got up and walked towards the half-open window, and the heavy snow fell into the hall with the cold wind, "As long as Fengguo doesn't know the prince's intentions , she will let go, otherwise Jiang Guoguo may lose most of the territory of Mo country."
After all, Feng Kingdom occupies a lot of favorable terrain, so it is hard to guarantee that tigers will not be infested.
"What does Auntie mean?" Prince Jiang Hui didn't quite understand.
Jiang Changdai touched Feixue who went to court clothes and said: "Sometimes the more you think about something, the more you should cover up your thoughts, otherwise once the other party figures out your bottom line, they will not be able to stop wanting to trample on the temptation."
The prince Jiang Hui stood beside him and looked at his aunt. He felt that his aunt was like a chess player who had been plotting the world for a long time, as if she knew everything about the situation.
"I have sent General Yue Yue to the southwestern border where Jiang and Feng are in contact. I think there will be news soon."
"Auntie, does it mean that she wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take over Fengguo?"
Prince Jiang Hui couldn't help but be shocked by his military god.
"Feng country is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is impossible to conquer it in one fell swoop." Jiang Changdai just wanted to make Feng country feel the crisis.
Prince Jiang Hui thought for a while and responded: "Auntie is trying to make a fuss?"
"That's it."
After all, the most important thing right now is to consolidate the territories and cities of the Mo Kingdom.
Due to the edict of the eldest princess, Yue Yue rushed to the border between Jiang country and Feng country without stopping, and intentionally made some actions according to the plan to disturb the soldiers and people of Feng country.
Soon the Queen of Fengguo received urgent military information from the southeast.
In order to concentrate on dealing with the Mo country, the Feng country has already gathered all the troops in the northwest, and now it is too late to send troops to help.
At this point, the court of the Feng Kingdom was also a little panicked. Jiang Guo was already under attack from three sides. If a war was really to be triggered, the Feng Kingdom's army, which was already exhausted from fighting against the Mo Kingdom, actually had little chance of winning.
At that time, I am afraid that the territory of Mo country will be lost, and the city of Feng country will also suffer.
For a while, Fengguo had no choice but to send envoys to negotiate peace, and was even willing to give up part of Moguo's territory to show its goodwill.
When the news reached Jiang Guochaotang, Prince Jiang Hui realized that everything was as expected by his aunt.
Most of those originally disputed territories and cities belonged to Jiang Guo, and soon the two armies signed a contract to withdraw their troops.
However, the once powerful Mo country was completely destroyed. Many Mo people migrated hundreds of miles away, and many old members of the Mo royal family were executed by Feng country.
The third prince, Mo Tai, who originally thought that he could sit back and relax by relying on Feng Kingdom, was soon regarded as an abandoned son by the people of Feng Kingdom and sentenced to death.
The blood feud between Fengguo and Moguo back then is naturally merciless now.
And Mo Yang, who was transported all the way back from the country of Mo, was tightly tied up with ropes, his whole body was in a mess, and he sat in the prison car with a numb expression.
Rong Yue was ordered to take her back to Jiang Guo's capital to accept the surrender. Now that all ethnic groups in Mo State have surrendered, Princess Moyang is naturally also a subject to Jiang State.
Naturally, it couldn't be easier for a courtier to meet the monarch.
"What are you crying for!" Mo Yang looked at the Moren woman with chapped lips and couldn't stop her anger.
Most of these are old aristocratic women from the Mo country, and some of them are the concubines of the emperor brother Moyang.
If it weren't for the capture of the youngest son of the emperor's brother, Mo Yang would rather die in battle than survive in such a collusion.
Rong Yue looked at Princess Moyang who had been refusing to eat, because she was afraid that she would commit suicide, so she had her hands and feet tied up on purpose.
"Come here, give her some saliva, don't let her die." Rong Yue took the rein and ordered.
"Yes!"
Mo Yang was forced to drink a few sips of water just now when his acupuncture points were tapped, but the humiliation in his eyes became more and more intense.
How can one not hate that the dignified princess of a country has been reduced to such a miserable state!
Due to the wind and snow, many roads were impassable, when the group of people took a detour to Yicheng, Rong Yue saw Liu Fuma and Yue Yue who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Why did the general come here to rest?" In fact, Yue Yue had already received the news that Rong Yue would pass by, so he hurried back to Yicheng.
Liu Meier at the side was a little puzzled, obviously Miss Yue said yesterday that she was ordered to pick up General Rong, why did she suddenly change her words today?
"Soldiers and soldiers, please go to the city to rest." Liu Meier specially arranged an inn in the city to entertain the soldiers who were busy with travel.
Rong Yue got off the horse lightly and didn't want to talk to Yue Yue who was making trouble on purpose, so she just nodded to Concubine Liu: "Thank you."
I knew that the scale of the new capital was much larger than the capital, but when I climbed the city wall and looked at it with my own eyes, Rong Yue couldn't help but be amazed.
I really have to admire this Concubine Liu's ability to handle affairs.
Seeing that Rong Yue didn't even look at her, Yue Yue was furious and muttered in her heart: "Stinky donkey, I came to pick you up so kindly, but I didn't appreciate it. If I had known, I would have died of freezing and starving to death!"
Along the way, Liu Meier felt a little panicked when she heard Miss Yue's chatter.
In the afternoon, the wind and snow were getting heavier, and Liu Meier was alone in the office of the newly built Ministry of Industry to deal with trivial matters.
Rong Yue carried the wine jar into the room and said, "Lord Liu, are you busy?"
At that time, Rong Yue saw the intimacy between the eldest princess and the son-in-law Liu outside the Changyang Guan camp tent, and the jealousy in her heart almost made her dizzy.
But now as time goes by, Rong Yue has slowly looked away.
The word love cannot be controlled at all.
Since the eldest princess has already chosen her, he has no right to pester her.
"Not busy now." Liu Meier put down the scroll in her hand, stepped forward, and smelled a strong smell of alcohol, "General Rong, do you have something to discuss?"
Rong Yue sat sideways at a long table beside her, put two wine cups on the desk, raised the wine jug with her palm and poured out the wine, "I have something private to talk to Master Liu, why don't you have a drink?"
Liu Meier entered immediately, but did not drink to explain: "I am not good at drinking, General please forgive me."
"It's okay, alcohol is not a fun thing anyway." Rong Yue drank all the wine on her own.
Cup after cup poured into my stomach, but I never heard half a word.
The yamen was quiet for a while, only the cold wind whistling outside, Liu Meier, who was sitting upright, looked blankly at General Rong, who was drinking, thinking, did she really come to talk to herself?
After drinking for the third time, Rong Yue let out a long sigh and said, "I crawled out of the bone pile because of the eldest princess' rescue, and I will never forget the grace of saving my life."
"That's why all these years I've been on the saddle for the Eldest Princess, and I've sent troops to fight several times to repay the kindness." Rong Yue's brows and eyes were full of pain and sadness that couldn't be concealed. Pull up some energy, "I have seen the eldest princess stay up all night thinking about Jiang's great cause, and I have also seen the eldest princess, who is the proud daughter of heaven, holding a sword in the cold night, so I even thought that as long as I can help the eldest princess win Even if I die, the world will not regret it."
"General Rong's contributions will be remembered by the people of the Jiang Kingdom. The eldest princess will definitely hold a banquet in the capital to reward you." Liu Meier looked at General Rong enviously, because she had no strength to restrain the chicken. , except for being able to hold a pen, I really can't help sister Dai a little bit.
"What a commendation." Rong Yue couldn't help laughing at herself, raised her eyes to look at Concubine Liu, who was sitting upright, her eyes were full of sadness, "But I want to never be a reward."
Rong Yue had always hoped that maybe she could help the eldest princess to pacify the world, and then she would have a chance to express her deepest love to that proud girl of heaven.
But the eldest princess has always been extremely intelligent, Rong Yue knew that she couldn't hide her affection at all.
Sometimes there is no response, it is also a response.
What is more cruel than expressing your heart and being rejected is that the other party does not give you any hope of responding at all.
These older princesses intentionally kept a distance from themselves, and even Rong Yue was thinking that perhaps it was wrong for two women to fall in love with each other.
After all, the eldest princess's resolute avoidance is already an obvious refusal.
Rongyue had deliberately handed the pair of jade pendants to the princess's desk, but they were ignored before she opened her mouth.
For a long time after that, Rong Yue didn't mention her affection any more, she just hoped that she would stay by the eldest princess's side all the time, then this life would be enough for her.
Who would have thought that the eldest princess, who was too alienated from anyone, would fall in love with a little girl.
"Then what does General Rong want?" Liu Meier was overwhelmed by such sentimental emotions, and she even felt a little sad, "If it's inconvenient, I can also inform the eldest princess."
The poem said that once a general succeeds, all bones will be wiped out, the cruelty on the battlefield, Liu Meier has only experienced it once, it is enough to remember it for a lifetime.
What's more, General Rong, who broke through the rain of swords, guns and swords many times, feels even more uncomfortable when he thinks about it.
Seeing Prince Liu being so gentle with others, Rong Yue couldn't even say what was on her lips, so she could only shake her head with a wry smile, and when she drank all the bitter wine, she stood up and walked out the door, saying solemnly: "Lord Liu, Rong I wish you and the eldest princess a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Such a sudden sentence made Liu Meier a little at a loss.
In winter, the sky always gets dark very quickly, and the wind and snow outside the door quickly covered General Rong's figure, Liu Meier looked at the wine jars and cups left behind and fell into deep thought.
General Rong, what happened today?
Just as Liu Meier was packing up her belongings, the gate of the yamen was kicked open with a bang, and many blueprints almost flew off.
Liu Mei'er was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she almost smashed the heavy wine jar.
"Did Master Liu see Rong Yue?" Yue Yue walked in unhappily.
"Well, General Rong just left not long ago." Liu Meier carefully put down the wine jar and asked hesitantly, "Miss Yue, General Rong seems to be very preoccupied. Could it be that something unpleasant happened?"
Yue Yue snorted lightly and said, "Her stubborn donkey deserves to be upset."
After finishing speaking, Yue Yue turned around and hurried out of the Yamen.
Only the word "stubborn donkey" echoed in Liu Meier's head, and her originally somewhat dazed thoughts gradually became clear.
"Could it be that Miss Yue likes General Rong, and the person General Rong likes is Dai and sister!"
Yue Yue, who was running around looking for it on a snowy night, found a messed up alcoholic in the inn.
"How long have you been drinking?" Yue Yue dragged Rongyue into the room forcefully with both hands behind her.
The drunken drunk fell down without a word, Yue Yue sat sideways, spread out the quilt and said indignantly: "You are enjoying the blessing, my own father is not treated like I serve you."
Seeing her frowning, Yue Yue reached out to smooth her out, but she didn't expect her to hold her wrist tightly.
"Don't go, please..." Rong Yue murmured in a drunken way.
"Hmph, now you know I'm fine!"
Yue Yue lowered her head and looked at Rong Yue's rather heroic eyebrows, and described it interestingly with her fingertips, "Hey, you are actually quite handsome, but it's a pity that you are completely different from the gentle scholar like Liu Concubine. "
The man who smelled of alcohol just kept murmuring: "Please, don't go."
Yue Yue saw that she was not in the right mood, so she stopped joking and whispered: "Rong Yue, you hurt me."
The strength of that wrist was really light, Yue Yue turned her eyes slyly and lay on her side, pinching her nose with her fingertips and responding: "If only you were so gentle to me normally."
Before he could finish speaking, the drunkard read with thin tears from the corners of his eyes, "Eldest Princess..."
The smile on Yue Yue's face disappeared in an instant, and she sat up like a firecracker ignited by fire. She raised her hand and drew a knife against her throat, saying, "I see you, you really can't say anything with your mouth!" What a good word!"
The drunkard wasn't afraid at all, Yue Yue withdrew his hands discouragedly, and immediately wanted to get up and leave.
But her wrist was still restrained by her, Yue Yue couldn't break free from the threat: "If you don't let go, I will cut off your hand!"
Yue Yue looked helplessly at the drunkard who didn't compromise at all, and felt a little sleepy for a while.
"Since you insist on grabbing me, then don't blame me for relying on you." Yue Yue leaned lazily by her side to make a plan, and went to untie her belt with her own hands, slipped into the quilt and muttered with a smirk.
In the middle of the night, Liu Meier came out of the Yamen with the blueprints in her arms and walked through the newly built streets.
Xindu is quite big, but now it has not moved into the common people's residence, Liu Meier only feels a little horrified when walking through the street alone.
It's easy for people to think too much on a cold, windy and snowy night, but fortunately, Liu Mei'er soon heard the boisterous noise of border soldiers drinking, and she regained her composure.
The inn was surrounded by war horses and weapons. Liu Meier specially sent officers and soldiers to watch the night for the soldiers to have a good rest.
Originally, Liu Meier did not find the prison carts placed in the rough streets and lanes.
It's just that Liu Mei'er could not help but stop when she heard the faint sound of crying.
The prison car was covered by a white cloth and couldn't be seen clearly, Liu Meier walked forward holding the lantern.
Because of Jiang Guo's decree on preferential treatment of captives, most of the Mo people were taken into the inn to shelter from the wind and snow. Only Mo Yang was too fierce, and the soldiers dared not let her out.
The alley is still sheltered from the wind and snow, but it is far less warm than the shelter inside the house, Liu Meier cautiously said: "Who is it?"
The crying stopped suddenly, Liu Meier hesitantly lifted the white cloth, only to see Princess Moyang.
How confident and beautiful Princess Moyang was at the beginning, but now she is a prisoner, the scene of desolation is indescribable.
"What are you looking at!" Mo Yang fiercely looked at Concubine Liu who was stunned, feeling ashamed and annoyed.
Seeing that she was only wearing thin clothes, Liu Meier's complexion was even paler and she asked urgently: "Are you crying just now?"
Mo Yang tilted his head to avoid the looking pity eyes and said with a sneer: "I am a dignified princess of Mo country, how could I cry!"
"But..." Liu Mei'er stopped talking and had to change her words, "Then why are you resting outside alone?"
"Why?" Mo Yang asked back, eyes full of hatred, "Isn't it because of Jiang Guo's treachery and Feng Guo's surprise attack on Mo State that I ended up in this situation?"
Liu Meier didn't respond immediately, but temporarily put the accompanying items aside, and then entered the inn.
Seeing her turning around indifferently, Mo Yang thought she was going to leave, so he didn't look at her again.
However, the wrists were tied too tightly, Mo Yang had no way to break free, the wrists were being ground and bleeding.
The soldiers in the inn were drinking to their heart's content, Liu Meier asked one of the soldiers: "Why did you lock Princess Moyang outside?"
"Master Liu, you don't know the cruelty of that Princess Moyang. Several of our brothers were wiped off their necks by her. No one dares to get close to her now."
"We couldn't beat her without eating or drinking along the way. If we let her go, it would be a big trouble."
"Yes, if it wasn't for our kindness, we would have killed her long ago to avenge my brother." A soldier said indignantly with red eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Meier didn't ask any more questions, just ordered some food and hot tea and left the inn alone.
Mo Yang looked at the people who had gone and returned, his eyes were a little surprised but he didn't make a sound.
"It's cold, if you don't eat something, you will really starve to death." Liu Meier wrapped a meat pie in oiled paper and handed it to her through the cage.
"I don't need your pity!" Mo Yang tilted his head to avoid gnashing his teeth and scolded, "You Jiang people can't destroy Mo country, and we Mo people will definitely come back and kill you all in the future!"
Seeing that she refused to eat, Liu Meier had to respond: "If you don't eat or get hungry, you will starve to death. How can you take revenge on Jiang Guo in the future?"
Mo Yang was slightly stunned and said nothing, with tears in his eyes, he said: "I don't need your hypocrisy, if you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"
"We won't kill you." Seeing Mo Yang's eyes flickering, Liu Meier said hesitantly, "Maybe you don't believe it, but the demise of the Mo country is more of its own fault. If it weren't for the internal turmoil in such a powerful empire, wouldn't Jiang Can the country and the Feng country be destroyed?"
"What did you say!" Mo Yang glared, opened his mouth and bit Liu Fuma's wrist fiercely.
"Hiss..." When blood dripped from her sleeves, Liu Mei'er couldn't help but burst out in pain.
Right now, Jiang Guo's soldiers are already dissatisfied with Mo Ren, if he speaks out, he is afraid that Mo Yang may be treated more harshly.
Captives are never treated as human beings in other countries.
If sister Dai hadn't ordered it, Jiang Guo's soldiers would have killed Mo Yang long ago.
When warm tears dripped silently to the back of her hand, Liu Meier watched the person who had bit her loosen her mouth.
Mo Yang spat out the blood in his mouth and said in despair: "Why didn't you call someone!"
If she yelled at the soldiers for help, Mo Yang felt that she might be saved by death.
"I don't want you to die, and the eldest princess doesn't want you to die either, you should live well." Liu Meier almost lost consciousness from the pain in her wrist.
"If I live well, I will definitely lead the Mo country iron cavalry to conquer every inch of your Jiang country!" Mo Yang threatened.
Liu Meier reached out and picked up the fallen meat pie and put it aside, then took out a clean pie and handed it over, "Then you have to eat enough before you can return to the country."
Mo Yang has never seen such a strange person open his mouth to bite the pie and threaten viciously: "After I return to the country, I will be the first to kill you."
"Yeah, I know." Liu Meier was worried that she would choke if she ate too fast, so she poured some tea for her, "Be careful, drink it slowly."
"Don't be hypocritical, I won't be fooled!"
Liu Meier saw her drinking tea in big gulps, guessing that she really didn't eat anything all the way.
After all the food brought out from the inn had been eaten, Liu Meier packed the tea bowls and prepared to get up.
"Why did you say just now that the demise of our Mo country is our own fault?" Mo Yang looked at the slender scholar in front of him dissatisfied.
"The struggle for power by the princes of the Mo country has made the country unable to meet the enemy, and your elder brother was killed by his brothers. This is a fact." Liu Meier hesitated to say what was in her heart.
Mo Yang said sadly, "I will definitely kill that bastard Mo Tai in the future!"
My imperial brother trusted him so much that he even promised the result of the alliance...
Seeing that she didn't seem to know the news of Mo Tai's death, Liu Meier said, "I heard that Mo Tai has been executed by Feng Guo, so you don't need to do anything."
"What?" Mo Yang didn't expect the people of Feng Country to be so vicious that they even killed Mo Tai who voluntarily surrendered.
"He's really stupid!" Mo Yang couldn't stop laughing with tears in his eyes, "My emperor brother trusted Mo Tai so much, but Mo Tai killed him, what a retribution!"
Seeing her crying like rain, Liu Meier didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's just that when returning the tea bowl to the inn, he sent someone to transport the prison cart into the inn.
In the middle of the night, when Liu Meier returned home to sort things out, she raised her hand and opened her sleeves, the hideous wound on her white wrist was particularly eye-catching.
This bite really almost broke my hand.
Liu Mei'er was in so much pain that she didn't dare to move her right hand. Fortunately, Chang prepared all kinds of ointments when she went out.
After applying the medicine, Liu Meier clenched a section of the gauze between her teeth, and carefully wound the gauze tightly.
The heavy snow in winter never stops all night, and the dawn is especially early.
The people in the new capital city are already working one after another, the street carts and horses are pulling huge logs and heavy equipment, and most of the soldiers in the inn have finished their breakfast.
But at this time, General Rong, who always got up early, was nowhere to be seen, and the soldiers were still confused.
"Hey, why don't you go and see if General Rong is awake?"
"Lieutenant General, it's not that you don't know that General Rong doesn't like people to disturb her sleep."
"Countless, go and have a look, otherwise the court will blame you for delaying the trip, can you afford it?"
At this time, in the inn building with the doors and windows closed, Rong Yue looked at the messy clothes all over the floor in panic, and the headache from last night's hangover suddenly disappeared.
Yue Yue probed and pulled the quilt to cover her body, pretending to be surprised: "Rong Yue, you are responsible for me!"
"Calm down, I'm absolutely innocent." Rong Yue put her hand on her forehead and was so drunk last night, how did she get to hang out with this little girl!
"Woooo, are you planning to be a heartbreaker!" Yue Yue pretended to cry, and then quickly changed her face to threaten, "I don't care, I will tell my father Rong Yue to take me..."
Rong Yue covered Xiao Nizi's rumor-making mouth with her hand, turned her head to look at the figure scurrying outside the house and muttered: "Little ancestor, please keep your voice down!"
"General, are you awake?" the soldiers outside the door asked curiously.
"What's the noise, go downstairs and wait!" Rong Yue quickly scolded.
"Yes." The soldier immediately dismissed the idea of eavesdropping when he heard the energetic voice.
All the soldiers in the hall stared at the person running down the corridor and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think there is someone in General Rong's room!" the soldier said in a low voice.
"Ah!" But the whole hall shouted in shock.
The gossip of this group of elders scared the waiter serving tea to the side.
At this time, Yue Yue upstairs looked at Rong Yue with sly eyes, kissed her palm intentionally and asked ambiguously: "You are guilty now, aren't you?"
Rong Yue was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand, and hurriedly sat on the side, picked up the clothes with her hands and threw them to her like sparks: "I didn't do anything, why are you guilty?"
"Okay, then I'll tell my dad that you touched my body, and we'll see what you will do then!" Yue Yue didn't expect Rong Yue to be so stubborn, and she was even more angry.
"What can I do?" Rong Yue didn't dare to look at the undressed person, she put on her boots guiltily, "I was so drunk last night, how could I touch you..."
Yue Yue hugged Rong Yue tightly behind her, bowed her head and kissed her side face threateningly: "Okay, then I will yell now and let your subordinates see how you abandoned me!"
Rong Yue's old face blushed and she couldn't break free and replied, "Don't mess around, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, are you going to kill me?" Yue Yue wrapped his arms around Rong Yue and refused to let her get away.
"Why are you being unreasonable?" Rong Yue grabbed her arm and pushed her away, "I told you not to mess around, otherwise it will affect your own reputation."
Today's Rong Yue doesn't care about the eyes of others, but Yue Yue is only in her early twenties, so she is really not afraid of her reputation being delayed in the future.
Seeing Yue Yue burying her head and laying straight on the quilt, she suddenly stopped responding, Rong Yue leaned closer and muttered in bewilderment: "I'm not very strong just now."
"Hey, don't pretend." Rong Yue picked up a piece of clothing to cover her, thinking that only young people don't know the cold weather.
But before Rong Yue retracted her hand, Yue Yue threw her arms around Rong Yue's neck and bit her directly.
Rong Yue couldn't bear the pain and pushed her away, only when she stroked her palm did she realize that she saw blood.
This little girl's teeth are really ruthless.
"Are you a dog?" Rong Yue angrily wanted to reprimand her, but she caught a glimpse of a figure moving outside, and stopped talking quickly.
It is said that seven aunts and eight women love to gossip, but in fact, the elders of the military camp prefer to eavesdrop on the corner.
Rong Yue was worried about Yue Yue's reputation, so she had to get up and tell her: "Little ancestor, put on your clothes quickly!"
Then Rong Yue didn't stay any longer, but went outside to deal with the group of elders.
Yue Yue's lips were stained a little red, looking at Rong Yue who hurriedly left the room and muttering: "Hmph, let me see how you explain it now."
The corridor was full of soldiers, Rong Yue leaned against the door and scolded: "What are you looking at, hurry up and get ready to go!"
"Yes." The soldiers looked at the tooth marks on General Rong's neck in surprise, and suddenly became more curious.
When the sky was bright, the wind and snow were a little lighter, and the chariot and horse troops slowly drove out of Yicheng.
Liu Meier stood on the city wall to see them off, and saw Miss Yue playing with the jade pendant between her fingers, she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Miss Yue, didn't you come to take General Rong back to the capital?"
"I'm not going to pick her up, she doesn't care anyway."
Such a reaction made Liu Meier doubt her guess yesterday, "Is General Rong the one Miss Yue likes?"
Yue Yue met the probing eyes and responded: "Master Liu, do you want to ask more about things that you shouldn't ask, otherwise..."
"I'm sorry, I was too talkative just now." Liu Meier quickly stopped her suspicions.
But the jade pendant in Miss Yue's hand, General Rong seems to have the same jade pendant.
Well, is it really okay?
Rong Yue, who was rushing on the road in the wind and snow, only felt the tight pain in her neck, and couldn't help saying between her teeth: "Little bastard, your mouth is so heavy, your father doesn't even dare to treat me like this."
The accompanying lieutenant general hesitated to eavesdrop, but after being slapped across the face by General Rong, he immediately glanced in fright and pretended to look at the snowy mountains and forests.
"Lieutenant, how did I get back to the inn last night?"
The deputy general only thought that General Rong was testing whether he was clever enough, so he quickly shook his head and pretended to be stupid, and replied, "Well, the brothers all drank too much last night, and the last general doesn't remember."
Before he finished speaking, Rong Yue raised his hand and rewarded him with a chestnut, and blamed him: "You brat, what use do I need you for!"
I was so drunk last night that I couldn't really do something, right?
Thinking about it like this, Rong Yue felt a little restless.
"Oh." The lieutenant raised his hand to hold his helmet, thinking that General Rong is quite strange today.
The group of people did not stop in the afternoon, the horses ate food and grass, and the soldiers simply ate some buns to satisfy their hunger.
Mo Yang in the prison car was wearing a robe, his expression was still dazed, Rong Yue took a second look in confusion: "A few days ago she was dying, why did she suddenly take the initiative to add clothes today?"
"Return to the general, these are the clothes Mr. Liu bought."
Rong Yue has nothing to say about Master Liu's handling of people and affairs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentleman.
But Yue Yue left Yicheng in the early morning of the next day, the wind kept blowing, and now it is not far from New Year's Eve.
"Master Liu, are you really not going back to the capital?" Yue Yue originally thought that she would not go back to the capital to listen to her old father's nagging, but she also thought that Rong Yue would spend the New Year in the capital this year, so she wanted to go back and give her a run for her money.
"Well, please trouble Miss Yue to deliver the package to the eldest princess."
Liu Meier exhorted a little shyly.
"Don't worry." Yue Yue held the rein with one hand and didn't look at the package's hearty response, and quickly led the team to disappear into the wind and snow.
Liu Meier didn't want to go and see Sister Dai and Chang's.
It's just that the project is too tight now, and many people and officials are struggling to stay in Yicheng. As the chief inspector, he can't neglect his duties.
When Yue Yue braved the wind and snow day and night to rush back to the capital, it was already the evening of New Year's Eve.
Chang was taking loquat cream because of a cough, and Jiang Changdai specially told the palace people to take care of her.
"The biggest shortcoming of this child is that he takes everything too seriously." Chang could not help but feel emotional when she heard the Eldest Princess read her child's letter.
They haven't seen each other for more than a year, why doesn't Chang want to see what her child looks like now.
It's rare for Jiang Changdai to have the same idea as Chang's, and he sent Yue Yue to be with her in order to pick her up for New Year's Eve.
However, she refused Yue Yue's proposal to return to the city on the grounds that she could not be selfish because of her position. When Jiang Changdai asked Yue Yue for details, why didn't she complain about her wooden head.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Changdai accompanied Mrs. Chang back to the courtyard to rest, and just now she entered the main house of the consort's mansion alone.
The furnishings in the house are still the same as when she left the capital, even the incense is her favorite peach blossom, Jiang Changdai can still faintly feel a little breath of her existence when she sits softly.
Taking out the objects brought back by Yue Yue from one side, Jiang Changdai looked carefully at the candlelight.
This new pouch is different from the pattern of crabapple flowers that she always embroidered in the past, but the pattern of acacia beans.
Probably this is also where she is rarely enlightened.
At this time, Liu Mei'er in Yicheng was still checking the engineering drawings in the government office. The craftsmen and the common people had a New Year's Eve dinner together, and even the officials had a rare half-day holiday.
"Master Liu, will you not rest tonight?" The accompanying officials really liked this knowledgeable and talented Liu Da.
Sister Dai was sent off by the local officials, and Liu Meier was among the officials, looking at the flag of the Jiang State that was faintly engulfed in the mist.
Liu Meier knew that Sister Dai had a heavy responsibility, and it was not easy for her to come to see her.
So no matter how reluctant Liu Meier was, she still dealt with affairs as usual, and because of the secret drawings that Sister Dai handed over in private, Liu Meier had one more task in her daily life.
The water channel under the new capital has always been the most complicated and critical project. Simply looking at manual excavation is too time-consuming and laborious, so Liu Meier used the water of the river channel to scour and excavate it day and night.
After carefully examining the drawings given by sister Dai, Liu Meier deliberately selected illiterate craftsmen who did not speak the same language to build a secret passage under the princess mansion.
In order not to make the officials suspicious, Liu Meier was simply responsible for the project planning of the entire street.
In this way, when the heavy snow came, most of the city walls of Xindu were built, and the houses on the main street had begun to show their scale.
The most important palace in Xindu has been built with palace bricks and tiles, and a large number of craftsmen are working in it, the scene is particularly spectacular.
The vermilion palace road became more and more red because of the white snow. Liu Meier held an umbrella with one hand and stepped on the snow to check the condition of each palace wall over and over again.
In the beginning, in order to facilitate the improvement of construction progress, Liu Meier gradually divided many fortifications to different officials early on, and the officials only need to arrange for their craftsmen to complete the projects at hand one by one.
This can greatly reduce the time required, but it is also prone to some problems.
For example, because the scale of Xindu is too large and the communication between officials is not timely, it is easy for some handover fortifications to be flawed.
If the problem lies in the high-rise buildings on the city wall, there will be accidents of collapse and death, and if it occurs in the underground waterway, it will cause more problems.
For this reason, Liu Meier had to convene the officials to discuss the fortification drawings over and over again, and communicate the details of the fortifications in their hands in advance.
The strong wind and snow made Liu Mei'er's cheeks ache, and even the hand holding the oil-paper umbrella was red and swollen.
"My lord, the wind must be too strong." The servant Xiaofeng shivered from the cold.
"After half a month, the wind and snow will be even bigger." Liu Meier's eyes showed melancholy, as the snow became deeper and deeper, the fortifications had to be delayed.
After all, there will be several inches of ice in the ice and snow, and I am afraid that the construction of high-rise buildings in the streets will need to stop for a while.
That's why Liu Meier had to make inspections and arrangements in advance, otherwise, in the twelfth lunar month, she could only focus on the fine work of furnishing and decorating the palace.
When the wind and snow enveloped the entire Jiang country, Jiang Guo Chaotang was discussing extremely intensely how to deal with the matter of Mo country returning to the tribe.
Nine out of the thirteen tribes of the Mo country surrendered to the third prince, Mo Tai, while the remaining four tribes were filial and loyal to the eldest prince, Mo Yao.
The nine tribes of the third prince Mo Tai were hunted down and only four tribes remained, but the heads of these four tribes all returned to the Feng people.
The eldest prince Mo Yao and the second princess Mo Yang fought back and besieged the two armies all the way. In the end, only one of the four tribe chiefs survived.
It is reasonable for the foreign army to besiege the major tribes of the Mo country as a joint effort to fight against the enemy, but the third prince Mo Tai pretends to cater to the banquet, instead first kills the eldest prince Mo Yao who is the successor to the orthodox throne, and is later captured by the Feng country and takes the initiative to proclaim himself a vassal.
According to the report from the front line, Jiang Guo captured Princess Moyang and the youngest son of the eldest prince Mo Yao. If he ascended the throne with the orthodox blood, it is natural that the youngest son of the eldest prince Mo Yao is the successor of Mo Kingdom.
After all, only in this way can Jiang Guo take advantage of the situation and coerce the youngest son to control the scattered tribes and vast grasslands in the Mo country.
But Fengguo strongly recommended Moyao, the third prince of Moguo, as emperor, and even made him a prince himself.
Now that the country of Mo has existed in name only, the relationship between the country Jiang and the country of Feng seems to be in danger.
The courtiers each have their own views, but generally they can be divided into two factions for the time being. One side is the officials of the main combat faction who think that they should take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and severely damage Fengguo to unify the world in one fell swoop.
The peace faction on the other side thinks that the war with Mo country is already the limit of Jiang country, and the supply of food and grass is not enough in the cold winter months. If the army does not return for a long time, it may easily fall into the sand.
Prince Jiang Hui looked hesitantly at the courtiers' dispute, but her aunt kept silent, so she only temporarily suppressed the matter in her heart.
When the morning court was over, Prince Jiang Hui personally asked, "Auntie, do you think we should fight Feng Guo or not?"
Jiang Changdai looked at the Chinese script in her hand and said, "Does the prince want to rule the world?"
"I thought about it myself." Prince Jiang Hui has read poetry and books since he was a child, including many history books from many countries.
I am deeply saddened by the fact that Jiang was humiliated and nearly destroyed by neighboring countries many times in the past hundred years.
"Then be ready to fight and deal with any harsh conditions proposed by Fengguo." Jiang Changdai closed the document and looked at the young prince, suddenly feeling that he was not really like Jiang Feng, but more like his mother, Concubine Song Xian.
"However, Jiang Guo's army has traveled a long distance, and it is too difficult to attack Feng Guo." Prince Jiang Hui looked embarrassed, and naturally knew the dangers of the frontline soldiers, "How about defending the territory of Mo Guo first?"
Jiang Changdai was quite satisfied to see that his mind was so calm, but sometimes he was cowardly if he was too calm.
"A truly outstanding emperor will not let people guess what he wants." Jiang Changdai slowly got up and walked towards the half-open window, and the heavy snow fell into the hall with the cold wind, "As long as Fengguo doesn't know the prince's intentions , she will let go, otherwise Jiang Guoguo may lose most of the territory of Mo country."
After all, Feng Kingdom occupies a lot of favorable terrain, so it is hard to guarantee that tigers will not be infested.
"What does Auntie mean?" Prince Jiang Hui didn't quite understand.
Jiang Changdai touched Feixue who went to court clothes and said: "Sometimes the more you think about something, the more you should cover up your thoughts, otherwise once the other party figures out your bottom line, they will not be able to stop wanting to trample on the temptation."
The prince Jiang Hui stood beside him and looked at his aunt. He felt that his aunt was like a chess player who had been plotting the world for a long time, as if she knew everything about the situation.
"I have sent General Yue Yue to the southwestern border where Jiang and Feng are in contact. I think there will be news soon."
"Auntie, does it mean that she wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take over Fengguo?"
Prince Jiang Hui couldn't help but be shocked by his military god.
"Feng country is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is impossible to conquer it in one fell swoop." Jiang Changdai just wanted to make Feng country feel the crisis.
Prince Jiang Hui thought for a while and responded: "Auntie is trying to make a fuss?"
"That's it."
After all, the most important thing right now is to consolidate the territories and cities of the Mo Kingdom.
Due to the edict of the eldest princess, Yue Yue rushed to the border between Jiang country and Feng country without stopping, and intentionally made some actions according to the plan to disturb the soldiers and people of Feng country.
Soon the Queen of Fengguo received urgent military information from the southeast.
In order to concentrate on dealing with the Mo country, the Feng country has already gathered all the troops in the northwest, and now it is too late to send troops to help.
At this point, the court of the Feng Kingdom was also a little panicked. Jiang Guo was already under attack from three sides. If a war was really to be triggered, the Feng Kingdom's army, which was already exhausted from fighting against the Mo Kingdom, actually had little chance of winning.
At that time, I am afraid that the territory of Mo country will be lost, and the city of Feng country will also suffer.
For a while, Fengguo had no choice but to send envoys to negotiate peace, and was even willing to give up part of Moguo's territory to show its goodwill.
When the news reached Jiang Guochaotang, Prince Jiang Hui realized that everything was as expected by his aunt.
Most of those originally disputed territories and cities belonged to Jiang Guo, and soon the two armies signed a contract to withdraw their troops.
However, the once powerful Mo country was completely destroyed. Many Mo people migrated hundreds of miles away, and many old members of the Mo royal family were executed by Feng country.
The third prince, Mo Tai, who originally thought that he could sit back and relax by relying on Feng Kingdom, was soon regarded as an abandoned son by the people of Feng Kingdom and sentenced to death.
The blood feud between Fengguo and Moguo back then is naturally merciless now.
And Mo Yang, who was transported all the way back from the country of Mo, was tightly tied up with ropes, his whole body was in a mess, and he sat in the prison car with a numb expression.
Rong Yue was ordered to take her back to Jiang Guo's capital to accept the surrender. Now that all ethnic groups in Mo State have surrendered, Princess Moyang is naturally also a subject to Jiang State.
Naturally, it couldn't be easier for a courtier to meet the monarch.
"What are you crying for!" Mo Yang looked at the Moren woman with chapped lips and couldn't stop her anger.
Most of these are old aristocratic women from the Mo country, and some of them are the concubines of the emperor brother Moyang.
If it weren't for the capture of the youngest son of the emperor's brother, Mo Yang would rather die in battle than survive in such a collusion.
Rong Yue looked at Princess Moyang who had been refusing to eat, because she was afraid that she would commit suicide, so she had her hands and feet tied up on purpose.
"Come here, give her some saliva, don't let her die." Rong Yue took the rein and ordered.
"Yes!"
Mo Yang was forced to drink a few sips of water just now when his acupuncture points were tapped, but the humiliation in his eyes became more and more intense.
How can one not hate that the dignified princess of a country has been reduced to such a miserable state!
Due to the wind and snow, many roads were impassable, when the group of people took a detour to Yicheng, Rong Yue saw Liu Fuma and Yue Yue who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Why did the general come here to rest?" In fact, Yue Yue had already received the news that Rong Yue would pass by, so he hurried back to Yicheng.
Liu Meier at the side was a little puzzled, obviously Miss Yue said yesterday that she was ordered to pick up General Rong, why did she suddenly change her words today?
"Soldiers and soldiers, please go to the city to rest." Liu Meier specially arranged an inn in the city to entertain the soldiers who were busy with travel.
Rong Yue got off the horse lightly and didn't want to talk to Yue Yue who was making trouble on purpose, so she just nodded to Concubine Liu: "Thank you."
I knew that the scale of the new capital was much larger than the capital, but when I climbed the city wall and looked at it with my own eyes, Rong Yue couldn't help but be amazed.
I really have to admire this Concubine Liu's ability to handle affairs.
Seeing that Rong Yue didn't even look at her, Yue Yue was furious and muttered in her heart: "Stinky donkey, I came to pick you up so kindly, but I didn't appreciate it. If I had known, I would have died of freezing and starving to death!"
Along the way, Liu Meier felt a little panicked when she heard Miss Yue's chatter.
In the afternoon, the wind and snow were getting heavier, and Liu Meier was alone in the office of the newly built Ministry of Industry to deal with trivial matters.
Rong Yue carried the wine jar into the room and said, "Lord Liu, are you busy?"
At that time, Rong Yue saw the intimacy between the eldest princess and the son-in-law Liu outside the Changyang Guan camp tent, and the jealousy in her heart almost made her dizzy.
But now as time goes by, Rong Yue has slowly looked away.
The word love cannot be controlled at all.
Since the eldest princess has already chosen her, he has no right to pester her.
"Not busy now." Liu Meier put down the scroll in her hand, stepped forward, and smelled a strong smell of alcohol, "General Rong, do you have something to discuss?"
Rong Yue sat sideways at a long table beside her, put two wine cups on the desk, raised the wine jug with her palm and poured out the wine, "I have something private to talk to Master Liu, why don't you have a drink?"
Liu Meier entered immediately, but did not drink to explain: "I am not good at drinking, General please forgive me."
"It's okay, alcohol is not a fun thing anyway." Rong Yue drank all the wine on her own.
Cup after cup poured into my stomach, but I never heard half a word.
The yamen was quiet for a while, only the cold wind whistling outside, Liu Meier, who was sitting upright, looked blankly at General Rong, who was drinking, thinking, did she really come to talk to herself?
After drinking for the third time, Rong Yue let out a long sigh and said, "I crawled out of the bone pile because of the eldest princess' rescue, and I will never forget the grace of saving my life."
"That's why all these years I've been on the saddle for the Eldest Princess, and I've sent troops to fight several times to repay the kindness." Rong Yue's brows and eyes were full of pain and sadness that couldn't be concealed. Pull up some energy, "I have seen the eldest princess stay up all night thinking about Jiang's great cause, and I have also seen the eldest princess, who is the proud daughter of heaven, holding a sword in the cold night, so I even thought that as long as I can help the eldest princess win Even if I die, the world will not regret it."
"General Rong's contributions will be remembered by the people of the Jiang Kingdom. The eldest princess will definitely hold a banquet in the capital to reward you." Liu Meier looked at General Rong enviously, because she had no strength to restrain the chicken. , except for being able to hold a pen, I really can't help sister Dai a little bit.
"What a commendation." Rong Yue couldn't help laughing at herself, raised her eyes to look at Concubine Liu, who was sitting upright, her eyes were full of sadness, "But I want to never be a reward."
Rong Yue had always hoped that maybe she could help the eldest princess to pacify the world, and then she would have a chance to express her deepest love to that proud girl of heaven.
But the eldest princess has always been extremely intelligent, Rong Yue knew that she couldn't hide her affection at all.
Sometimes there is no response, it is also a response.
What is more cruel than expressing your heart and being rejected is that the other party does not give you any hope of responding at all.
These older princesses intentionally kept a distance from themselves, and even Rong Yue was thinking that perhaps it was wrong for two women to fall in love with each other.
After all, the eldest princess's resolute avoidance is already an obvious refusal.
Rongyue had deliberately handed the pair of jade pendants to the princess's desk, but they were ignored before she opened her mouth.
For a long time after that, Rong Yue didn't mention her affection any more, she just hoped that she would stay by the eldest princess's side all the time, then this life would be enough for her.
Who would have thought that the eldest princess, who was too alienated from anyone, would fall in love with a little girl.
"Then what does General Rong want?" Liu Meier was overwhelmed by such sentimental emotions, and she even felt a little sad, "If it's inconvenient, I can also inform the eldest princess."
The poem said that once a general succeeds, all bones will be wiped out, the cruelty on the battlefield, Liu Meier has only experienced it once, it is enough to remember it for a lifetime.
What's more, General Rong, who broke through the rain of swords, guns and swords many times, feels even more uncomfortable when he thinks about it.
Seeing Prince Liu being so gentle with others, Rong Yue couldn't even say what was on her lips, so she could only shake her head with a wry smile, and when she drank all the bitter wine, she stood up and walked out the door, saying solemnly: "Lord Liu, Rong I wish you and the eldest princess a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Such a sudden sentence made Liu Meier a little at a loss.
In winter, the sky always gets dark very quickly, and the wind and snow outside the door quickly covered General Rong's figure, Liu Meier looked at the wine jars and cups left behind and fell into deep thought.
General Rong, what happened today?
Just as Liu Meier was packing up her belongings, the gate of the yamen was kicked open with a bang, and many blueprints almost flew off.
Liu Mei'er was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she almost smashed the heavy wine jar.
"Did Master Liu see Rong Yue?" Yue Yue walked in unhappily.
"Well, General Rong just left not long ago." Liu Meier carefully put down the wine jar and asked hesitantly, "Miss Yue, General Rong seems to be very preoccupied. Could it be that something unpleasant happened?"
Yue Yue snorted lightly and said, "Her stubborn donkey deserves to be upset."
After finishing speaking, Yue Yue turned around and hurried out of the Yamen.
Only the word "stubborn donkey" echoed in Liu Meier's head, and her originally somewhat dazed thoughts gradually became clear.
"Could it be that Miss Yue likes General Rong, and the person General Rong likes is Dai and sister!"
Yue Yue, who was running around looking for it on a snowy night, found a messed up alcoholic in the inn.
"How long have you been drinking?" Yue Yue dragged Rongyue into the room forcefully with both hands behind her.
The drunken drunk fell down without a word, Yue Yue sat sideways, spread out the quilt and said indignantly: "You are enjoying the blessing, my own father is not treated like I serve you."
Seeing her frowning, Yue Yue reached out to smooth her out, but she didn't expect her to hold her wrist tightly.
"Don't go, please..." Rong Yue murmured in a drunken way.
"Hmph, now you know I'm fine!"
Yue Yue lowered her head and looked at Rong Yue's rather heroic eyebrows, and described it interestingly with her fingertips, "Hey, you are actually quite handsome, but it's a pity that you are completely different from the gentle scholar like Liu Concubine. "
The man who smelled of alcohol just kept murmuring: "Please, don't go."
Yue Yue saw that she was not in the right mood, so she stopped joking and whispered: "Rong Yue, you hurt me."
The strength of that wrist was really light, Yue Yue turned her eyes slyly and lay on her side, pinching her nose with her fingertips and responding: "If only you were so gentle to me normally."
Before he could finish speaking, the drunkard read with thin tears from the corners of his eyes, "Eldest Princess..."
The smile on Yue Yue's face disappeared in an instant, and she sat up like a firecracker ignited by fire. She raised her hand and drew a knife against her throat, saying, "I see you, you really can't say anything with your mouth!" What a good word!"
The drunkard wasn't afraid at all, Yue Yue withdrew his hands discouragedly, and immediately wanted to get up and leave.
But her wrist was still restrained by her, Yue Yue couldn't break free from the threat: "If you don't let go, I will cut off your hand!"
Yue Yue looked helplessly at the drunkard who didn't compromise at all, and felt a little sleepy for a while.
"Since you insist on grabbing me, then don't blame me for relying on you." Yue Yue leaned lazily by her side to make a plan, and went to untie her belt with her own hands, slipped into the quilt and muttered with a smirk.
In the middle of the night, Liu Meier came out of the Yamen with the blueprints in her arms and walked through the newly built streets.
Xindu is quite big, but now it has not moved into the common people's residence, Liu Meier only feels a little horrified when walking through the street alone.
It's easy for people to think too much on a cold, windy and snowy night, but fortunately, Liu Mei'er soon heard the boisterous noise of border soldiers drinking, and she regained her composure.
The inn was surrounded by war horses and weapons. Liu Meier specially sent officers and soldiers to watch the night for the soldiers to have a good rest.
Originally, Liu Meier did not find the prison carts placed in the rough streets and lanes.
It's just that Liu Mei'er could not help but stop when she heard the faint sound of crying.
The prison car was covered by a white cloth and couldn't be seen clearly, Liu Meier walked forward holding the lantern.
Because of Jiang Guo's decree on preferential treatment of captives, most of the Mo people were taken into the inn to shelter from the wind and snow. Only Mo Yang was too fierce, and the soldiers dared not let her out.
The alley is still sheltered from the wind and snow, but it is far less warm than the shelter inside the house, Liu Meier cautiously said: "Who is it?"
The crying stopped suddenly, Liu Meier hesitantly lifted the white cloth, only to see Princess Moyang.
How confident and beautiful Princess Moyang was at the beginning, but now she is a prisoner, the scene of desolation is indescribable.
"What are you looking at!" Mo Yang fiercely looked at Concubine Liu who was stunned, feeling ashamed and annoyed.
Seeing that she was only wearing thin clothes, Liu Meier's complexion was even paler and she asked urgently: "Are you crying just now?"
Mo Yang tilted his head to avoid the looking pity eyes and said with a sneer: "I am a dignified princess of Mo country, how could I cry!"
"But..." Liu Mei'er stopped talking and had to change her words, "Then why are you resting outside alone?"
"Why?" Mo Yang asked back, eyes full of hatred, "Isn't it because of Jiang Guo's treachery and Feng Guo's surprise attack on Mo State that I ended up in this situation?"
Liu Meier didn't respond immediately, but temporarily put the accompanying items aside, and then entered the inn.
Seeing her turning around indifferently, Mo Yang thought she was going to leave, so he didn't look at her again.
However, the wrists were tied too tightly, Mo Yang had no way to break free, the wrists were being ground and bleeding.
The soldiers in the inn were drinking to their heart's content, Liu Meier asked one of the soldiers: "Why did you lock Princess Moyang outside?"
"Master Liu, you don't know the cruelty of that Princess Moyang. Several of our brothers were wiped off their necks by her. No one dares to get close to her now."
"We couldn't beat her without eating or drinking along the way. If we let her go, it would be a big trouble."
"Yes, if it wasn't for our kindness, we would have killed her long ago to avenge my brother." A soldier said indignantly with red eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Meier didn't ask any more questions, just ordered some food and hot tea and left the inn alone.
Mo Yang looked at the people who had gone and returned, his eyes were a little surprised but he didn't make a sound.
"It's cold, if you don't eat something, you will really starve to death." Liu Meier wrapped a meat pie in oiled paper and handed it to her through the cage.
"I don't need your pity!" Mo Yang tilted his head to avoid gnashing his teeth and scolded, "You Jiang people can't destroy Mo country, and we Mo people will definitely come back and kill you all in the future!"
Seeing that she refused to eat, Liu Meier had to respond: "If you don't eat or get hungry, you will starve to death. How can you take revenge on Jiang Guo in the future?"
Mo Yang was slightly stunned and said nothing, with tears in his eyes, he said: "I don't need your hypocrisy, if you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"
"We won't kill you." Seeing Mo Yang's eyes flickering, Liu Meier said hesitantly, "Maybe you don't believe it, but the demise of the Mo country is more of its own fault. If it weren't for the internal turmoil in such a powerful empire, wouldn't Jiang Can the country and the Feng country be destroyed?"
"What did you say!" Mo Yang glared, opened his mouth and bit Liu Fuma's wrist fiercely.
"Hiss..." When blood dripped from her sleeves, Liu Mei'er couldn't help but burst out in pain.
Right now, Jiang Guo's soldiers are already dissatisfied with Mo Ren, if he speaks out, he is afraid that Mo Yang may be treated more harshly.
Captives are never treated as human beings in other countries.
If sister Dai hadn't ordered it, Jiang Guo's soldiers would have killed Mo Yang long ago.
When warm tears dripped silently to the back of her hand, Liu Meier watched the person who had bit her loosen her mouth.
Mo Yang spat out the blood in his mouth and said in despair: "Why didn't you call someone!"
If she yelled at the soldiers for help, Mo Yang felt that she might be saved by death.
"I don't want you to die, and the eldest princess doesn't want you to die either, you should live well." Liu Meier almost lost consciousness from the pain in her wrist.
"If I live well, I will definitely lead the Mo country iron cavalry to conquer every inch of your Jiang country!" Mo Yang threatened.
Liu Meier reached out and picked up the fallen meat pie and put it aside, then took out a clean pie and handed it over, "Then you have to eat enough before you can return to the country."
Mo Yang has never seen such a strange person open his mouth to bite the pie and threaten viciously: "After I return to the country, I will be the first to kill you."
"Yeah, I know." Liu Meier was worried that she would choke if she ate too fast, so she poured some tea for her, "Be careful, drink it slowly."
"Don't be hypocritical, I won't be fooled!"
Liu Meier saw her drinking tea in big gulps, guessing that she really didn't eat anything all the way.
After all the food brought out from the inn had been eaten, Liu Meier packed the tea bowls and prepared to get up.
"Why did you say just now that the demise of our Mo country is our own fault?" Mo Yang looked at the slender scholar in front of him dissatisfied.
"The struggle for power by the princes of the Mo country has made the country unable to meet the enemy, and your elder brother was killed by his brothers. This is a fact." Liu Meier hesitated to say what was in her heart.
Mo Yang said sadly, "I will definitely kill that bastard Mo Tai in the future!"
My imperial brother trusted him so much that he even promised the result of the alliance...
Seeing that she didn't seem to know the news of Mo Tai's death, Liu Meier said, "I heard that Mo Tai has been executed by Feng Guo, so you don't need to do anything."
"What?" Mo Yang didn't expect the people of Feng Country to be so vicious that they even killed Mo Tai who voluntarily surrendered.
"He's really stupid!" Mo Yang couldn't stop laughing with tears in his eyes, "My emperor brother trusted Mo Tai so much, but Mo Tai killed him, what a retribution!"
Seeing her crying like rain, Liu Meier didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's just that when returning the tea bowl to the inn, he sent someone to transport the prison cart into the inn.
In the middle of the night, when Liu Meier returned home to sort things out, she raised her hand and opened her sleeves, the hideous wound on her white wrist was particularly eye-catching.
This bite really almost broke my hand.
Liu Mei'er was in so much pain that she didn't dare to move her right hand. Fortunately, Chang prepared all kinds of ointments when she went out.
After applying the medicine, Liu Meier clenched a section of the gauze between her teeth, and carefully wound the gauze tightly.
The heavy snow in winter never stops all night, and the dawn is especially early.
The people in the new capital city are already working one after another, the street carts and horses are pulling huge logs and heavy equipment, and most of the soldiers in the inn have finished their breakfast.
But at this time, General Rong, who always got up early, was nowhere to be seen, and the soldiers were still confused.
"Hey, why don't you go and see if General Rong is awake?"
"Lieutenant General, it's not that you don't know that General Rong doesn't like people to disturb her sleep."
"Countless, go and have a look, otherwise the court will blame you for delaying the trip, can you afford it?"
At this time, in the inn building with the doors and windows closed, Rong Yue looked at the messy clothes all over the floor in panic, and the headache from last night's hangover suddenly disappeared.
Yue Yue probed and pulled the quilt to cover her body, pretending to be surprised: "Rong Yue, you are responsible for me!"
"Calm down, I'm absolutely innocent." Rong Yue put her hand on her forehead and was so drunk last night, how did she get to hang out with this little girl!
"Woooo, are you planning to be a heartbreaker!" Yue Yue pretended to cry, and then quickly changed her face to threaten, "I don't care, I will tell my father Rong Yue to take me..."
Rong Yue covered Xiao Nizi's rumor-making mouth with her hand, turned her head to look at the figure scurrying outside the house and muttered: "Little ancestor, please keep your voice down!"
"General, are you awake?" the soldiers outside the door asked curiously.
"What's the noise, go downstairs and wait!" Rong Yue quickly scolded.
"Yes." The soldier immediately dismissed the idea of eavesdropping when he heard the energetic voice.
All the soldiers in the hall stared at the person running down the corridor and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think there is someone in General Rong's room!" the soldier said in a low voice.
"Ah!" But the whole hall shouted in shock.
The gossip of this group of elders scared the waiter serving tea to the side.
At this time, Yue Yue upstairs looked at Rong Yue with sly eyes, kissed her palm intentionally and asked ambiguously: "You are guilty now, aren't you?"
Rong Yue was so frightened that she immediately withdrew her hand, and hurriedly sat on the side, picked up the clothes with her hands and threw them to her like sparks: "I didn't do anything, why are you guilty?"
"Okay, then I'll tell my dad that you touched my body, and we'll see what you will do then!" Yue Yue didn't expect Rong Yue to be so stubborn, and she was even more angry.
"What can I do?" Rong Yue didn't dare to look at the undressed person, she put on her boots guiltily, "I was so drunk last night, how could I touch you..."
Yue Yue hugged Rong Yue tightly behind her, bowed her head and kissed her side face threateningly: "Okay, then I will yell now and let your subordinates see how you abandoned me!"
Rong Yue's old face blushed and she couldn't break free and replied, "Don't mess around, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, are you going to kill me?" Yue Yue wrapped his arms around Rong Yue and refused to let her get away.
"Why are you being unreasonable?" Rong Yue grabbed her arm and pushed her away, "I told you not to mess around, otherwise it will affect your own reputation."
Today's Rong Yue doesn't care about the eyes of others, but Yue Yue is only in her early twenties, so she is really not afraid of her reputation being delayed in the future.
Seeing Yue Yue burying her head and laying straight on the quilt, she suddenly stopped responding, Rong Yue leaned closer and muttered in bewilderment: "I'm not very strong just now."
"Hey, don't pretend." Rong Yue picked up a piece of clothing to cover her, thinking that only young people don't know the cold weather.
But before Rong Yue retracted her hand, Yue Yue threw her arms around Rong Yue's neck and bit her directly.
Rong Yue couldn't bear the pain and pushed her away, only when she stroked her palm did she realize that she saw blood.
This little girl's teeth are really ruthless.
"Are you a dog?" Rong Yue angrily wanted to reprimand her, but she caught a glimpse of a figure moving outside, and stopped talking quickly.
It is said that seven aunts and eight women love to gossip, but in fact, the elders of the military camp prefer to eavesdrop on the corner.
Rong Yue was worried about Yue Yue's reputation, so she had to get up and tell her: "Little ancestor, put on your clothes quickly!"
Then Rong Yue didn't stay any longer, but went outside to deal with the group of elders.
Yue Yue's lips were stained a little red, looking at Rong Yue who hurriedly left the room and muttering: "Hmph, let me see how you explain it now."
The corridor was full of soldiers, Rong Yue leaned against the door and scolded: "What are you looking at, hurry up and get ready to go!"
"Yes." The soldiers looked at the tooth marks on General Rong's neck in surprise, and suddenly became more curious.
When the sky was bright, the wind and snow were a little lighter, and the chariot and horse troops slowly drove out of Yicheng.
Liu Meier stood on the city wall to see them off, and saw Miss Yue playing with the jade pendant between her fingers, she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Miss Yue, didn't you come to take General Rong back to the capital?"
"I'm not going to pick her up, she doesn't care anyway."
Such a reaction made Liu Meier doubt her guess yesterday, "Is General Rong the one Miss Yue likes?"
Yue Yue met the probing eyes and responded: "Master Liu, do you want to ask more about things that you shouldn't ask, otherwise..."
"I'm sorry, I was too talkative just now." Liu Meier quickly stopped her suspicions.
But the jade pendant in Miss Yue's hand, General Rong seems to have the same jade pendant.
Well, is it really okay?
Rong Yue, who was rushing on the road in the wind and snow, only felt the tight pain in her neck, and couldn't help saying between her teeth: "Little bastard, your mouth is so heavy, your father doesn't even dare to treat me like this."
The accompanying lieutenant general hesitated to eavesdrop, but after being slapped across the face by General Rong, he immediately glanced in fright and pretended to look at the snowy mountains and forests.
"Lieutenant, how did I get back to the inn last night?"
The deputy general only thought that General Rong was testing whether he was clever enough, so he quickly shook his head and pretended to be stupid, and replied, "Well, the brothers all drank too much last night, and the last general doesn't remember."
Before he finished speaking, Rong Yue raised his hand and rewarded him with a chestnut, and blamed him: "You brat, what use do I need you for!"
I was so drunk last night that I couldn't really do something, right?
Thinking about it like this, Rong Yue felt a little restless.
"Oh." The lieutenant raised his hand to hold his helmet, thinking that General Rong is quite strange today.
The group of people did not stop in the afternoon, the horses ate food and grass, and the soldiers simply ate some buns to satisfy their hunger.
Mo Yang in the prison car was wearing a robe, his expression was still dazed, Rong Yue took a second look in confusion: "A few days ago she was dying, why did she suddenly take the initiative to add clothes today?"
"Return to the general, these are the clothes Mr. Liu bought."
Rong Yue has nothing to say about Master Liu's handling of people and affairs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentleman.
But Yue Yue left Yicheng in the early morning of the next day, the wind kept blowing, and now it is not far from New Year's Eve.
"Master Liu, are you really not going back to the capital?" Yue Yue originally thought that she would not go back to the capital to listen to her old father's nagging, but she also thought that Rong Yue would spend the New Year in the capital this year, so she wanted to go back and give her a run for her money.
"Well, please trouble Miss Yue to deliver the package to the eldest princess."
Liu Meier exhorted a little shyly.
"Don't worry." Yue Yue held the rein with one hand and didn't look at the package's hearty response, and quickly led the team to disappear into the wind and snow.
Liu Meier didn't want to go and see Sister Dai and Chang's.
It's just that the project is too tight now, and many people and officials are struggling to stay in Yicheng. As the chief inspector, he can't neglect his duties.
When Yue Yue braved the wind and snow day and night to rush back to the capital, it was already the evening of New Year's Eve.
Chang was taking loquat cream because of a cough, and Jiang Changdai specially told the palace people to take care of her.
"The biggest shortcoming of this child is that he takes everything too seriously." Chang could not help but feel emotional when she heard the Eldest Princess read her child's letter.
They haven't seen each other for more than a year, why doesn't Chang want to see what her child looks like now.
It's rare for Jiang Changdai to have the same idea as Chang's, and he sent Yue Yue to be with her in order to pick her up for New Year's Eve.
However, she refused Yue Yue's proposal to return to the city on the grounds that she could not be selfish because of her position. When Jiang Changdai asked Yue Yue for details, why didn't she complain about her wooden head.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Changdai accompanied Mrs. Chang back to the courtyard to rest, and just now she entered the main house of the consort's mansion alone.
The furnishings in the house are still the same as when she left the capital, even the incense is her favorite peach blossom, Jiang Changdai can still faintly feel a little breath of her existence when she sits softly.
Taking out the objects brought back by Yue Yue from one side, Jiang Changdai looked carefully at the candlelight.
This new pouch is different from the pattern of crabapple flowers that she always embroidered in the past, but the pattern of acacia beans.
Probably this is also where she is rarely enlightened.
At this time, Liu Mei'er in Yicheng was still checking the engineering drawings in the government office. The craftsmen and the common people had a New Year's Eve dinner together, and even the officials had a rare half-day holiday.
"Master Liu, will you not rest tonight?" The accompanying officials really liked this knowledgeable and talented Liu Da.
