[Red House] Lixian

Chapter 191 The Third Southern Expedition

In the Zichen Palace, the ceremonial officer sings:

"Invite the newlyweds to offer tea."

Situ Tao wears red and five-color auspicious dragon mending clothes, and Li Feiya wears auspicious red cloud and phoenix fairy clothes.With sweet smiles on their faces, the two raised their teacups and offered tea to their boss, Situ Yun and Wei Qian.

In the last year of Situ Yun's ten-year expedition to the South, he actively prepared for various things, the first of which was the prince's wedding.

The first month was chosen to salute, and the two received happy tea. Wei Qian said: "Prince, you were seriously ill when you were young. Fortunately, Concubine Cao and Concubine Kong took care of you. Now on your big day, you will bring the princess and concubine to offer half a cup of tea to your two concubines." .”

Hearing this, the prince offered tea to Concubine Cao and Concubine Kong standing beside him.Because they took care of the prince in the past, the two ascended from Baolin to the sky and became concubines of nine concubines.Over the years, the two devoted themselves to taking care of the prince. Since they had no children of their own, they gave the prince all their motherly love.

After hearing what Wei Qian said, the two became excited.According to the status of the two of them, where would it be the crown prince's turn to offer tea to them?

Even Wei Qian, if she is not currently in charge of the Six Palaces, plus she is the No. 1 harem, she might not be in her turn.

Didn't you see that Concubine Wen Shu and Concubine Jingde are not qualified to receive tea from the crown prince?

The little Concubine Chen was conferred the title of Concubine Jing by Situ Yun, implying that she respects the Lord and abides by her duty.As long as she is sensible, Situ Yun will give the Chen family a good way out.If she thinks she shouldn't get up, then even her mother's cousin will not be able to stay.

These two concubines sat under Wei Qian's hands, neither of them had the crown prince to respect them.The other concubines stood beside them with envious expressions on their faces.Letting the prince serve tea undoubtedly shows the prince's filial piety. As long as this affection exists, it will be beneficial for the prince to ascend the throne in the future.

"This, this can't be allowed." Concubine Kong paid attention to etiquette and dared not accept it.

"You two have taken care of the prince for many years, so this cup of tea is also worthy." Situ Yun said, the two drank half a cup of tea each, with tears in their eyes, and each gave the gift they had prepared early to the prince and his wife.

After the ceremony was completed, Situ Yun said: "The crown prince is considered a real adult when he gets married. I will go south for several months this time, and I will never return it until I break Jinling. At that time, Concubine Ning, you and the crown prince will guard the capital, and I can rest assured. If there is something urgent time, you can make your own discretion.”

Situ Yun and Wei Qian discussed the details of the third southern expedition.The prince was startled: "Father is going to leave now?"

"Your father should have left long ago. Now that the three armies in the south have been ordered to act, the pre-war has already begun." Wei Qian said with a smile: "This time, the preparations are well prepared. If the whole country crushes Jinling, Jinling will surely be broken and China will be unified. .”

The two cooperated tacitly, treating others as nothing to discuss the formation and march, and finally sent the concubines away and let Concubine Wen take the others down.

Concubine Wen pulled the princesses, and said to the prince and his wife: "You also know the temperament of your majesty and sister, go back and rest."

"Yeah, you newlyweds should take good care of it, we ladies are waiting to have grandchildren." A concubine joked, and then took Concubine Wen's hand to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.

At present, the harem is harmonious, only three princes and seven princesses, and the crown prince and Concubine Ning are very powerful, most of the concubines have given up competing for favor, and waited peacefully for Wei Qian to allocate time.Fortunately, Wei Qian never spoiled him, except for the fifteenth, he pushed Situ Yun out most of the time.But no matter how hard everyone tried, there were only three princes in the harem, and no new prince was born.In this regard, we can only call it God's will.

Wei Qian secretly went to ask Mingjun, Mingjun didn't want to tell the truth, but only said that Situ Yun would have princes in the future, but the number would not be more than his father.

Seeing this situation, the concubines lost even the thought of having a dragon son.Give birth to a group of princesses, waiting to marry in the future?Let's just have fun in peace.

The concubines are in peace, playing various games as companions on weekdays, and gradually learning Wei Qian's straightforward temper.There is no desire to be strong, there is no desire to fight, and the harem is unprecedentedly harmonious.

The prince has studied with Wei Qian for many years, and Li Feiya is the female official next to Wei Qian, the young lady of a noble family in the city.It was only after Wei Qian got in touch with Si Tutao that they met.The two of them knew Wei Qian well and hurriedly said they didn't mind.

After saluting Concubine Wen, the two left straight away.Concubine Wen took a group of concubines to the Imperial Garden to guess lantern riddles.

Before leaving, the prince glanced at the second and third princes.

After returning to the East Palace, the Crown Princess asked, "Your Highness is worried about the Second Prince?"

"Father is marching south, and he will follow him south." The crown prince said with a worried look on his face, "At that time, he will use this to accumulate military merits, which may not be good for me."

The crown prince and the second prince have been disliked since they were young, and they even had a murderous revenge back then.The crown prince wished he could kill the second prince and his mother concubine Jia Shi together.Back then, the second prince sought refuge with Wei Qian, and it was the prince who made trouble for him.Over the past few years, the second prince has been oppressed by the prince, both openly and secretly.

The rift between the two was born early, and the second prince's temperament became more and more stern. This time, he took the initiative to ask for orders to participate in the Southern Expedition, and he might have the intention to compete with the prince for favor.

Husband and wife are one, the princess thought for a while and said: "A few years ago, I was serving my mother. I used to see the second prince often go over to say hello. But then I don't know why I didn't go there again. I heard from Aunt Xiangling and the others that it seems to be the same as in the past. It's about old things."

"It's not good for you to get involved in the secrets of the court." The prince frowned and reprimanded the princess.He did this, so naturally he didn't want the Crown Princess to know.

subsequently.He looked relieved, hesitated for a while, and said: "Concubine Jia plotted against me and Concubine Ning in the past, and we have already had enmity with each other. The second child knows this, so he will not get close to Concubine Ning. This crown prince and Concubine Ning The interests of the mother and concubine are the same, in the future you need to serve carefully, and you must not put on the airs of the crown princess."

The Crown Princess smiled: "Could it be that the concubine is so ignorant in His Highness's eyes? The concubine is a person from the Qing Si Palace."

Being able to serve the female officials of the Qingsi Palace itself means talent and aptitude.After leaving the palace, the worst thing is to have the position of Honored Lady, and even the settling benefits after leaving the palace are well prepared by Wei Qian.

When the Crown Princess left the palace, Wei Qian conferred the title of Shang Palace to show her favor.After that, she stayed at home to get married, and only re-entered the palace a few days ago.

Another reason why the prince chose Li Feiya was because of her status as a palace official of the Qing Dynasty.

Walking out of Qing Si Temple and gaining Wei Qian's favor, the cooperation between the two parties deepened.

You must know that although Wei Qian has been hiding behind the scenes for these years, she has accumulated a large number of potential forces in her early appearances in the court.Everyone knows that this empress can influence the emperor's decision-making, and she doesn't use it as a charm to win favors. Instead, she really stepped onto the political stage because of her decisiveness in several major issues, and convinced the neutral courtiers.

Although the conservatives opposed Wei Qian's public appearance, they gradually became divided with each action.Some people praised Wei Qian for having "the ability to be a good woman" and "the virtue of the three empresses", while others called him "the prime minister of Lu Wu" and "the cock of the morning".

But the voice of the opposition is weakening day by day.In addition, they fought against Wei Qian according to the unspoken rules of the imperial court, and they did not regard her as a concubine in the harem.

This influence made others look sideways, not to mention Wei Ying and Jia Lian were beside Wei Qian.With the powers of Jia and Wei in hand, her attitude is enough to affect the structure of the court.

If she gave up supporting the prince and changed her target to another prince, the prince would have to eat a pot.

In the past, provoking the second prince and Wei Qian was not only selfish but also the result of considering the overall situation.

After participating in the wedding of his precious son, Situ Yun was busy arranging the Southern Expedition, so he led the troops out within two days.

This is an emperor who loves martial arts, and he has left a lot in the future history books.Looking at the number of personal conquests in his life, it is in the forefront of all dynasties.

As soon as the emperor left, Wei Qian discussed with the prince, and the two went to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors and pray for Situ Yun.

The chariot arrived in front of the Taimiao, and the prince went to comfort the ancestors.

Wei Qian and Li Feiya got out of the car, reached out to hold Li Feiya's hand: "You and Bengong go to meet the generations."

Li Feiya's hands and feet were cold, this was the first time she participated in the grand ceremony as the crown princess.I'm afraid that one will accidentally make a fool of himself in front of the ministers.

Her complexion was pale, and the young woman felt uneasy.

"Don't be afraid, you have a lot to do in the future." Wei Qian smiled sweetly, took her hand, and the two walked together in sacrificial attire.Wei Qian said in a low voice: "Since you are already the Crown Princess, then the Silkworm Sacrifice and Hou Tuqi will be with me in the coming year."

Upon hearing this, Li Feiya panicked: "The empress is still here, of course it is the empress who handles this." Li Feiya didn't dare to compete with Wei Qian for the limelight, so she quickly refused.

This empress is deeply respected by the crown prince, she is like a adoptive mother, if she does such things blatantly, will the crown prince feel disgusted?One must know that the side hall where Wei Qian and Concubine Cao Kong used to live is still empty in the East Palace.The prince sent someone to clean it every month to show respect.

In terms of temperament, although the prince is a bit rebellious, he does not lose the way in terms of benevolence and righteousness.Who is good to him and who is not good to him, the prince figured it out in his heart.

Seeing her cautiousness, Wei Qian couldn't help laughing: "Of course I will preside over it, but you will learn the sacrificial ceremony from the sidelines, so as not to make a fool of yourself when you manage it yourself in the future."

Wasn't that the case with the queen back then?It is precisely because the Queen Wang made a fool of himself that Wei Qian had the opportunity to take charge of the Six Palaces step by step.

"There is also palace affairs management. Later, you come to this palace to study with Sister Wenfei. When you become a queen in the future, it will come in handy."

"Of course, you are the daughter-in-law of the royal family. It is inconvenient to meddle too much in the harem. You only learn to manage palace affairs, starting from your east palace."

It is precisely because Li Feiya studied with Wei Qian and loves plum blossoms that she later collaborated with Wei Qian in Fang Temple, and was named "Xiaomei Concubine".

The weather in Chang'an is calm, and the cooperation between the two palaces has not lasted for a day. All the ministers have adapted to the habit of "the emperor is in the court, and the emperor is in the court, and the emperor goes to worship Qingsi".

Even the prince would go to Wei Qian to discuss with him if he had any problems, and Wang Zheng, the protagonist of the previous scandal, is now firmly the leader of the Wang family and one of the prince's biggest supporters.

But when it comes to Situ Yun's southern expedition, in fact, the current scope of the Tongyuan religion is no other than the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.The reason why it is difficult to conquer is entirely because they use formations to defend and use strange rocks to block the army, so it is difficult to break through, which hinders the mortal army.

"Now that the final battle is over, it's about cause and effect. I'll do it myself." Several Xuanmen earth immortals left the field in person and led all the immortals to come.

As for the New Continent, Wei Qian felt that it was time for him, so he asked a few fellow disciples from Lishan to take his Sanyuan Dingxian plate to help defeat the enemy.

By the way, Wei Qian approached Gu Zhenzhen: "Xian Dao conquers demons, but the mortal level has no sharp weapons to break the city. You can dedicate the siege weapons you have studied over the years to Emperor Shunde in exchange for your family's wealth and glory."

Years ago when Gu Zhenzhen ran away from home, she said that she would use her as a parent to fight for a fortune.Now the time of the Southern Expedition is exactly the time for her to show her talent and learning.

When Gu Zhenzhen heard this, she suddenly became homesick.But thinking of the New World's occupation, he hesitated: "What about the New World?"

"Killing and catastrophe sweeping across the world, it is not just one place in China. But it affects each other, and the energy and mechanism blend together." The current catastrophe in China, the New World and the Western world has entered the late stage.

The Ralo Dynasty in the New World was gradually annexed by the Amon Dynasty, and its pantheon would be destroyed in a short time.After a massacre in the western world, a queen also rose.She pays homage to the God of Light, establishes a state religion and develops industries, gradually catching up with the development of the East.

"You go to your mother and choose a few soldiers to go to Jinling. They will return after they have completed their merits and virtues in a few days."

In Qiongshan, an old Taoist priest practiced in Yuhua Palace.Suddenly, on a whim, aware of the changes in Jinling, he sighed: "After all, I am in the Dragon Qi, and this time Yun'er has to go." Then, the immortal went down the mountain to Jinling himself.

This time the Southern Expedition broke the cause and effect, and Mingjun sent his confidantes to watch the battle in person, restraining the soul of death.

The killing and robbery between heaven and earth is concentrated in three locations in three territories, Jinling, Wucheng and the capital of the sun.
