The Female General and Xiao Fu's Wife

In the early morning, the morning glow reflected into the bedroom, Shen Zhaoping picked up a flower branch, carefully inserted it into the vase, then picked up a pair of scissors on the table and patiently trimmed the branch. The maid in the palace bowed her head and reported, "Ma'am, Shen Jieyu is here."

Shen Zhaoping was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, raised his head, Shen Zhaoan walked in swaggeringly, and said upon meeting, "Oh, my sister is so elegant, it seems that she doesn't care about the recent major events at all. "

"Big event?" Shen Zhaoping smiled, "You mean Princess Qiuci's coming to Beijing?"

"Otherwise, is there anything else going on?" Shen Zhaoan approached with her hands on her hips, "As for Shen Zhaoxue's stinky girl, let's put it aside for now."

"Zhaoxue? What does it matter to her?" Shen Zhaoping became suspicious.

Shen Zhaoan realized that she had slipped her mouth and quickly covered her mouth, and immediately shifted her attention, "Sister, I want to say that although we are three sisters, Zhaoxue has married into the Sima Mansion, and only the two of us are A grasshopper on a rope."

"Oh?" Shen Zhaoping turned his face away, and continued to toss his new vase, "I never thought that we were connected by the same rope, and when we were in the house before, sister, you also regarded me as a thorn in your side... ..Looking at it now, it's just because I'm not favored and my rank is lower than yours, so I don't think I'm a threat."

Shen Zhaoan was a little stunned and embarrassed for a moment when his thoughts were pierced.

Seeing this, she quickly grabbed Shen Zhaoping's arm, "Sister, how can you say that? As the saying goes, today is different from the past, and people must keep pace with the times. Moreover, in the palace, the closest thing to me is My dear sister is you."

Shen Zhaoping turned his head and glanced at her, thinking that this girl could really pretend to be pitiful, so he followed her way for the time being to see what kind of tricks she wanted to play.

Then he turned around and held her arm, "It's true what you said."

Shen Zhaoan nodded again and again, looking pitiful.

"Let's go sit over there and talk." Shen Zhaoping said and dismissed the maids in the bedroom, and the two closed the door to chat.

"Sister, now that we have encountered foreign enemies, we must unite to fight against foreign enemies. Although my sister may not have done well in many places in the past, no matter what, we are also related by blood. Blood is thicker than water. In any All places are reliable, I think my sister should also understand this truth."

Shen Zhaoping nodded pretending to understand, "The foreign enemy you are talking about refers to Princess Qiuci, right?"

Shen Zhao'an nodded vigorously, "Sister, you don't know, that Princess Qiuci is just a vixen, not to mention coquettishly dressed, and dangles in front of His Majesty all day long, His Majesty's eyes are staring at her."

Shen Zhaoping couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "I see, even if Princess Qiuci is really interested in His Majesty, the one who should face the enemy most is Lady Zhaoyi, and it's not the turn of the two of us."

"But if she really succeeds in marrying in, with her status, she will be a queen after all. By then, it will be too late for us to deal with her."

"What does that sister mean, there is already a countermeasure?" Shen Zhaoping asked, trying to trap her.

"That's it..." After speaking, Shen Zhaoan whispered in her ear.

Shen Zhaoping was shocked when he heard this, "Isn't this bad?"

"..." Shen Zhaoan leaned over and added a few more words.

"Sister, if the enemy doesn't move, then I will move and seize the opportunity."

Royal Garden.

Except for some evergreen vegetation, most of the flowers have only bare branches, waiting for the baptism of the next spring.

The cobblestone walkway was cleaned cleanly, without any trace of snow or water, but the snow in the flower bed was white, like freshly cooked rice, but it was not steaming.

Su Changjin was wearing a pink plum-colored snow fox padded jacket, as if blending into the vast expanse of whiteness, like a few wintersweet flowers blooming in the snow, cool and elegant.

Walking quietly with Xiao Qi side by side, enjoying the peace and beauty of this quiet moment.

"Are your hands cold?" Xiao Qi asked.

Su Changjin shook her head, and was about to answer that she was not cold, but Xiao Qi grabbed her hand and put it to her lips, breathed out, the warm air spread out in the palm of her hand, instantly changing Get warm, "Look at your hands are red from the cold, wear more in the future."

Su Changjin blushed and bowed slightly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Qi glanced at her, and said what she had been thinking about for a long time, "When the new year comes, how about I make you queen?"

Su Changjin was shocked, feeling that she was so virtuous and capable, "But Your Majesty, Chang Jin has not yet been able to give birth to a dragon heir for His Majesty, and the civil and military officials may not be convinced."

"I don't care if they accept it or not. If I want to establish a queen, can they stop it?" Xiao Qi patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry about the Dragon Heir, just let it take its course."

Su Changjin nodded and smiled at him happily.

"Your Majesty, is there any new progress regarding the search for the eldest princess?" Su Changjin suddenly asked.

Xiao Qi put one hand behind her back, and put the other on Su Changjin's shoulder, and the two walked forward together, "I have got some news, but I received a secret letter to respond, and someone is also looking for it." She, and got the clue first."

"Could that person be the remnant party?" Su Changjin opened her eyes wide.

"It's not impossible." Xiao Qi frowned, "Anyway, we have to hurry up."

Su Changjin nodded, "Chang Jin's father also has some connections in the capital, so maybe he can share some of His Majesty's worries."

"No need, don't bother the Duke, this matter... I don't want to say anything about it for the time being, otherwise it will be used by people with ulterior motives, which may threaten the safety of the imperial sister."

"Your Majesty cares so much for the Eldest Princess, the Eldest Princess will be blessed and will be reunited with Your Majesty soon."

"Thank you, Concubine Ai, for your kind words."

Now that the clues have been locked in the capital, Xiao Qi knows that if he uses his power to turn the capital upside down and interrogate from house to house, he can indeed find the imperial sister in the fastest time. When he finds the imperial sister, he will be used by people with ulterior motives. If he is one step ahead, then the imperial sister will be in danger. It's not the last moment, he doesn't want to do this.

Secret investigation is the safest way to get cash. He has been on the throne for less than a year, and his foundation is not yet solid. There are many people who covet his position. Even he can't protect it.

Since Rachel found this book for herself, Shen Zhaoxue locked herself at home all day, reading it hard.

This book "He Li Ji" is very famous. It was written by a princess in the previous dynasty. Because he was dissatisfied with his parents' order and the matchmaker's words, the husband was hastily settled. Under the difficult situation, he steadfastly stood by his belief and fought to the end, and finally succeeded in persuading the husband. A family, complete and leave.

After that, she wrote her personal experience into this book, which has been handed down to this day, giving courage and experience to many women who dare to jump out of the shackles of unhappy marriages.

The divorce system includes "divorce" and "reconciliation". The former will make women feel inferior and even return to their natal homes, while the latter will be handled in a much more peaceful way. Divorce is not a simple divorce from a husband.

However, one condition is required to achieve peace and separation, that is, the husband must sign the "Wife Release Letter", also known as the peace and separation letter.

In He Li Ji, the former princess also mentioned the content of himself and Li Shu.

"As for the cause of a husband and wife, the three lifetimes in the past are the only way to become a married couple in this life. If the relationship does not match, it is like an enemy, so they come to each other. Since the two hearts are different, it is difficult to be unified. I hope that after the wife is separated, she will re-comb her temples, shave her eyebrows beautifully, show her slender posture, and choose the master of the high palace.

"One difference and two wide, everyone is happy..." Shen Zhaoxue murmured and repeated the last sentence. For some reason, she actually felt sadness from it, the kind of mellow and poignant, the kind of lingering, unknowingly, Tears fell down.

She may have been inspired by it, or read something, closed the book, and Shen Zhaoxue sat in a daze for a long time.

"You'd better come back next time. My lady might come back later. It's cold outside today, so go back quickly."

Seeing that the other party was about to close the door, Rachel had no choice but to quickly get up from the steps, patted her buttocks, straightened her luggage, and headed home in despair.

Now that she can't even find a helper, Miss Su actually disappeared at the critical moment, what should I do.

Rachel knows that she has no culture and knowledge, and she has only known a few words with Miss De all these years, but the book "He Li Ji" is so famous that almost everyone knows it. What to do with this book, the answer is only one she guessed, that is, she had the idea of ​​making peace with the general.

Although the young lady has not had a very good life since she married into Sima's mansion, but at least she has some independent rights. Master Sima assured her to take care of the shop. Now the business is booming and the benefits are excellent. It's like the days when I was at my mother's house.

The young lady is a concubine, and she was not treated well since she was a child. The second lady, Mrs. Meng, in the house targeted her everywhere and made her a stumbling block. Fortunately, the young lady has a temperament of not fighting or snatching, and she lives in the small courtyard by herself, so she can live safely until today , because the young lady is too gentle, has no temper, and has an indifferent temperament, so Rachel takes the initiative to take on many important responsibilities. She is also very afraid at times, but she has to stand up, let herself be more fierce and domineering, and let others know her Miss Jia can't be messed with either.

She really couldn't imagine what kind of chaos it would be if the young lady really proposed to reconcile, and what was even more frightening was that if the general agreed to the reconciliation, what kind of life would she and the young lady go back to when they returned to Shen's house? This kind of life, I am afraid it will be more difficult than before marriage.

Training Course.

Army training is still going on intensively, not affected by the weather at all.

As the saying goes, it is necessary to maintain high-density vigilance and the best condition at all times, so as to meet emergencies in a timely manner.

At lunch time, the soldiers lined up to get their meals, while Qin and Sun and the others ate lunch around the stove set up with the general.

In this cold winter, even in the outdoors, surrounded by the stove, I don't feel cold, but rather warm, so hot that I want to untie my coat a little.

Seeing the general eating silently and not speaking, as was Wei Xue, Qin Sun wanted to enliven the cold and silent atmosphere, and asked curiously, "General, how did you go hunting with His Majesty yesterday?"

While eating, Sima Yun replied without raising his head, "No.3."

Qin Sun was shocked when he heard this, "Isn't it, No.3? This is definitely not your real level, general. Then who won the first place? Could it be Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty No. 2." Sima Yun replied calmly, and continued to eat quietly.

Qin Sun's jaw dropped again, "Your Majesty is second, general, you are third, who is the first, I really can't find anyone who is better at archery than you."

Even Wei Xue couldn't help being curious, "Could it be that the general didn't perform well yesterday?" She had heard some inside stories, "However, Princess Alia's strength should not be underestimated. It is surprising that the second son of Duke Su's family Miss, you can actually be tied for first place with Princess Alia."

Qin Sun was stunned. He caught Wei Xue and wanted to hear more news about yesterday's hunting ground, but it was a pity that Wei Xue didn't want to reveal more, so he stopped.

"The general actually lost to the two girls. It's really...incredibly sad. If I had known that I would have joined the hunt yesterday, I would have killed them all."

"Qin Sun, you are not afraid of blowing the cowhide. With the general around, will you let you rush to the front? There is no place for you."

"Hey, Wei Xue, don't you look down on me? We're bound to pass when we're formal. How do you know that my strength is falling behind?"

"..." He couldn't get a moment of peace even after eating, Sima Yun just wanted to finish eating quickly and escape here quickly.

I don't know when it started, but the topic came to her again.

Qin Sun added more firewood to the ground and asked, "I heard that Madam didn't go with her yesterday, maybe it's because she had a conflict with the general and you two."

Sima Yun paused, feeling a little dazed for a moment, if he hadn't reminded him, he might have forgotten the fact that she and her relationship were deadlocked.

Wei Xue seemed to have noticed something, and hurriedly stood up and picked up the back of Qinsun's neck, "Go, go and help me."

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't eaten well yet." Qin Sun complained as he was being dragged away.

"Don't eat it, what else are you going to eat, you've already eaten three big bowls!"

"..."

The voices of the two gradually faded away.

Sima Yun stared at the flame under the stove for a long time, lost in thought. It was beating and swaying with the wind, just like her heart at the moment.

in the afternoon.

It happened to be the time when Su Xiuyan and Aria had agreed to a duel, and she arrived in the east woods ahead of time, and had been waiting for a long time.

I have to say that it was really cold this day. Although there was warmth from the horse's body when riding on horseback, it was only enough to warm the lower body. Su Xiuyan was shivering from the cold, and kept holding her hands Exhale and keep warm alternately.

There was a neighing sound of a horse not far away, and she immediately followed the sound, and sure enough, a beautiful figure appeared in the dry forest, and was getting closer and closer to her.

Seen from a distance, she looks like a snow lotus blooming on the top of Tianshan Mountain, so tall, her eyes are full of confidence, noble and glamorous, incomparable, so special.

With the jumping of the horse's hoof, her body undulates up and down, and her sleeves are fluttering, so beautiful.

Su Xiuyan couldn't help staring blankly.

Then, he pulled the rein neatly, and the horse stopped a foot away from Su Xiuyan. Aria looked at her, "How about it, wait a long time."

"Not long." Su Xiuyan smiled at her.

"Really, I'm not familiar with the way out of the palace, so I've delayed the meeting, so let's not talk much, let's start."

"Hey, wait." Su Xiuyan suddenly stopped her.

Aria was stunned and turned around, "What's wrong?"

At this moment, Su Xiuyan suddenly approached and stretched out his hand towards her. Aria's first reaction was to dodge and back away. Unexpectedly, Su Xiuyan stretched out his other arm to hold her down, and the other hand stretched out. Go to the top of her head and pluck off a dead leaf.

Aria took a closer look, and it turned out that a dead leaf had fallen on her hair. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Su Xiuyan threw the leaf in the air with a chic movement, and then it swayed slowly with the wind and rotated several times in the air until it fell to the ground, before she said, "Now, we can start. "

"That's fine!" Aria was full of vindictiveness and competitive spirit, and she tightened the reins, ready to explode.

"Then let me explain the rules first."

The rules Su Xiuyan made were stricter than yesterday's at the hunting ground.

For example, if two people shoot a prey at the same time, it will be invalid and it will not count as a result.

The first-come-first-served discipline is still maintained. During the competition, she is not allowed to cross the border and enter the mountain, because the road is dangerous and slippery after going down the snow-capped mountain. She doesn't want everyone to have any accidents.

No competition, no inferior means to win, otherwise the results will be invalidated.

......

After announcing the rules, Aria felt that it was challenging and interesting.

She tugged on the rope, and now she was riding side by side with Su Xiuyan, "How about it, are you confident that you can win against me today?"

Su Xiuyan smiled slightly, "Of course."

Unexpectedly, Aria replied again, still very confident, "But I won't give you a chance to beat me."

After finishing the words, she rushed out first, followed by Su Xiuyan, forget it, let you run a few more feet, who makes you beautiful.

The horseshoes are running in the snow, splashing a trace of snowflakes. Occasionally, they accidentally splashed into the boots. After melting on the ankles, the ice is cold, and the cold wind blows on the face. It is bitingly cold, but we will do activities later It will be better when you wake up.

Today, the two didn't follow each other closely like they did yesterday to snatch each other. This area is so big, they may get more prey if they spread out and shoot.

There is still a big difference between wild hunting and artificial hunting grounds. The first is the freedom of movement. The prey has a larger escape range instead of being confined within the fence. Relatively speaking, the difficulty is also increased.

After a while, the two people who hunted in different directions had harvested, but the game time ended at sunset, and there were still two hours left, so no one dared to relax.

If it is said that the previous hour was in a state of excitement, then the latter hour will inevitably appear a little weak. Most of the prey in this area have been driven from south to north by the two of them, and most of them have already fled into the mountains, and it is difficult to find them. things.

There were very few harvests in the second half of the journey, so we simply hunted a lot at the beginning.

At dusk, the sun had just completely sunk below the mountain in the horizon, and the two reunited at the meeting place by coincidence.

Su Xiuyan jumped off the horse, threw the prey she had killed on the ground, and counted them, "Hares and wild birds add up, there are twenty in total."

On the other side, Aria just finished counting, but when she heard Su Xiuyan's report, she paused in her heart, she only had nineteen...well...

Aria was convinced, so she stood up and reported truthfully, "I lost, and I am willing to bet and admit defeat, and I am convinced."

Su Xiuyan laughed loudly, "Princess, let's give in."

"You'd better stop calling me princess, just call me Aria." Then she paused again, "I, Aria, have made you my friend."

To fall in love with someone, you must first let her be your friend.

This is Su Xiuyan's principle of doing things. It seems that the first step has gone smoothly.

However... Arya looked down at the pile of "loots" on the ground, "What should I do with these, discard the wilderness?"

Su Xiuyan squatted down all of a sudden, "Why throw it away, of course it's game. It's extremely disrespectful for you to hunt them and then throw them away."

Aria crossed her arms, looked left and right, a little dubious, "Do you want to bake in such a cold place?"

"Why, don't you want to? If you don't try, how will you know? This is a great new experience in your life." Su Xiuyan said, and had already started to deal with the picnic dinner.

"You are really special, just like me." Aria said, looking down at her with her arms folded.

Su Xiuyan smiled slightly, "Are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?"

Aria burst out laughing after hearing this, "Hahahahaha..." Then she paused and said, "I thought girls in the Central Plains were all weak, but I didn't expect there to be heroes like you. "

Su Xiuyan replied abruptly, "That's what you think. My father said that I'm a freak. I'm not as knowledgeable as my sister, and I don't have the demeanor of a lady."

Aria didn't understand, "Why do girls have to live submissively and have a ladylike demeanor, can't it be good to live a chic life and do what you want?"

Hearing this, Su Xiu paused for a moment in lighting firewood, her eyes filled with joy and relief, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she whispered, "I finally know why I like you more and more."

"Well, what did you just say?" Aria was startled, indicating that she didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, I didn't say anything just now." Su Xiuyan smiled, and continued to add firewood.
