The three women talked nonchalantly about their own thoughts, but they did not mention the labor habits of Jinchangfang.
When Yunchu was here, there were laboring troops and long banquets, but when Yunchu went on an expedition, there was nothing.
Li Si walked in, shaking a rattle, followed by the Yun Jin brothers and sisters. Li Si walked very fast, so the two younger ones had to catch up with their short legs.
Yu Xiurong opened her arms, and all three children got into her arms. The hair on Li Si's big head was still sparse, and his scalp could be seen.
Yu Xiurong pulled twice and said, "I've been washing my hair with Polygonum multiflorum for two months, but it's not getting any better. Why not wash your hair with ginseng seeds boiled in water? It should be useful."
Ms. Cui said with a smile: "The old fairy said that this child is born with deficiencies and lacks energy. It is already good to grow up to what he is now. If he grows up for another two years, his vitality and energy will return, and this little hair problem will be cured."
Yu Xiurong said angrily: "How can a girl's hair be a minor problem? If the hair cannot grow, how can this child survive?"
Mrs. Cui muttered: "This is what the old god said, not what I said. Why are you angry at me?"
Yu Xiurong said: "It's just because I can't get angry with the old god that I get angry with you specifically."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui immediately picked up her sewing basket and ran away.
The male owner of the Yun family is not here, and the female owner doesn't like anyone.
Yu Xiurong looked at Li Si's big head for a while, and then said to Naha: "Take her to find the ancestor again. The hair will never grow back. I'm worried to death."
Naha snorted and said, "The emperor and the queen don't care about me. Why are you, an adoptive mother, so anxious?"
Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "You know what, this child belongs not to whoever gives birth to it, but whoever raises it.
I didn't go through ten months of pregnancy, but I got such a good princess daughter. I'll treat her well now and enjoy the blessings later."
Naha came over and patted Li Si's big head and said, "Except for being a little stupid, there really isn't anything wrong with me." Li Si giggled and said to Yu Xiurong, "I'm not stupid."
Yu Xiurong looked at Li Si, then at Naha, and then left Li Si to Naha. The two stupid ones could play together, as long as they took good care of the two younger ones and the smart ones.
"Why don't you think the prince has come to our house for so long?" After playing with his two biological children for a while, Yu Xiurong suddenly thought of Li Hong.
"Can't come."
"Why?"
"I was imprisoned in the East Palace. It seems that some time ago, I said something I shouldn't have said and done something I shouldn't have done at someone else's birthday party.
His Majesty had his family manipulated. For half a year, I couldn't go anywhere. I could only recuperate in the East Palace, study, and grow onions."
"That child is so pitiful, why didn't you go to the East Palace to visit him?"
"Can't get in."
"Why can't you get in?"
"There were eunuchs guarding us. I rode to the East Palace on horseback, but was blocked back. I was not allowed to disturb the prince's study."
"Will the queen stop her even if she goes there?"
"No way, that's his mother-in-law."
"There are some unsatisfactory cakes made from chicken head rice collected last year at home. You first go to Qujiang Palace to see the queen, and then try to convince the queen to visit the prince. In this way, you will have a chance to meet the prince."
Naha felt that what her sister-in-law said was very reasonable, so she carried a basket of cakes and prepared to see the queen. When she was leaving, she saw Li Si looking at her stupidly, as if she wanted to ride a horse, so she brought Li Si up
He got on horseback and took her out of Chang'an City.
Mrs. Cui looked at Naha's back and said to Yu Xiurong: "Do you think Naha can see the queen while carrying a basket of cakes?"
Yu Xiurong shrugged and said, "How will you know if you don't try? If you don't see her, she'll just come back."
Ms. Cui sighed and said, "Poor little lady Naha, what will we do in the future?"
Yu Xiurong said: "Who dares to bully her?
Being ruthless and dull by nature is the Buddhist nature that people in Buddhism strive for. According to Buddhism, people who bully people like her will definitely receive retribution. Even if the Buddha does not send down retribution, the old monks in Buddhism will punish that person.
The retribution imposed on Naha by those who bullied her, I think, the retribution imposed by the old monks must be even more terrible than the retribution imposed by the Buddha."
Cui said: "It is still too rude of you to send Naha to see the Queen with a basket of cakes."
Yu Xiurong smiled and said: "Of course it would be rude for me to go, but it would not be rude for Naha to go.
You see, there is a 80% chance that Her Majesty the Queen will allow Naha to see the Crown Prince. After all, the Queen also knows that Naha is the only friend Li Hong can talk to outside."
She is a mother just like me. Children should be punished if they do something wrong, but it is not okay to remain unforgiving to the child after being punished.
Once or twice is enough. If it happens too often, the mother and child should be separated.
If others interfere in the affairs of the royal prince, the emperor and the empress will definitely think a lot about it. It is appropriate for our family to go anywhere, not too big or too small.
This trip can not only untie the knot in the prince's heart, but also prevent the emperor, queen and prince from losing their friendship, which is very suitable."
Wu Mei is about to give birth, and the humid and hot place of Taiji Palace is very uncomfortable for her. Because the emperor has a large army to march eastward, he can only sit in Chang'an. Naturally, it is not convenient for her to go to Wannian Palace to escape the summer heat.
Wu Mei had no choice but to come to Qujiang Palace, which was relatively cooler, to escape the heat.
The Qujiang River in July is picturesque, with willows on the embankment supporting the wind, and lotus flowers in the pond in full bloom, covering the ground in pink and white.
Wu Mei was wearing a large robe, and her towering belly made it difficult for her to sit down, so she lay half on the brocade couch, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the Qujiang River and watching the spies sent from all directions.
memorial.
As the Eastern Expedition came to an end, the civil servants' patience with the generals finally came to an end.
In the past, the most talked about in the memorials was the invincible bravery of the Tang Dynasty army, sweeping across the wilderness. Now, the memorials mostly talk about the various mistakes made by the generals during the Eastern Expedition.
A memorial about Yun Chu being deceived by Jin Fengshan in Kayang City, which resulted in the army being trapped in Kaye City and losing the opportunity to encircle Jincheng, soon fell into Wu Mei's eyes.
After she saw the whole cause and effect of the incident, she sighed and said to the female official who was guarding her: "Although Yun Chu is cunning and changeable, in fact he cannot escape the behavior of a bad good person."
The female official who had also read the memorial said: "I think the general should be more careful under such circumstances.
After all, regardless of whether there is the cooperation of the general and his troops, it will only be a matter of time before Jincheng is captured. When the overall situation is determined, there is no need to let our own troops suffer more battle losses."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "The Duke of Ying said in his memorial that Yun Chu, commanding three thousand soldiers and horses, dared to conquer the world without fear, even if he had to march thousands of miles to seal the wolf as his subordinate, he would dare to do it.
Commanding 6,000 soldiers and horses, he dared to cross his sword and leap on his horse, treating the heroes of the world as if they were nothing. He could capture the king and kill all the generals among a million troops without fail.
However, if you give him 20,000 soldiers and horses, he will become cautious, use them to defend the city as solid as a rock, and use them to attack, he will stick to his duty without any highlights."
The female officer smiled and said: "To put it this way, I really didn't expect that Mr. Ying would have such a high opinion of Yun Chu."
Wu Mei laughed and said: "Yinggong hasn't finished speaking yet. Why are you so happy? Yinggong also said that if you give Yunchu an army of fifty thousand, he will shrink back. No matter how the battle turns out, he will definitely be able to give you five hundred thousand troops."
Wan Dajun was brought back safely.
If Yun Chu is given 100,000 troops...the imperial court will be waiting for the bad news that he will lose his army and humiliate the country."
The female officer said in surprise: "Why is this? The smaller the number of people, the more invincible the world is. If the number of people is large, how come they end up losing their master and humiliating the country?"
It shouldn’t be like this, right?”
Wu Mei sneered and said: "I don't know if Mr. Ying's evaluation of Yun Chu is selfish, or if this is Yun Chu's true ability.
However, it can be seen from Yun Chu's dream that if he becomes a Jing Zhaoyin from Chang'an, it will be the end of his career as an official.
Then commanding an army of 20,000 people should be the limit of his ability."
The female officer sighed and said: "I have always liked this funny young man. I thought he would become a famous general in the new generation of our Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be just a pioneer general."
Wu Mei said: "What's such a pity? Such pioneer generals are the talents that Datang needs most. What does Datang need so many generals for?"
With more commander-in-chief, Your Majesty will have to devote more energy to deal with and guard against it.
If it's not handled well, the commander-in-chief will certainly die without a burial place, and your majesty will also have a bad reputation as a rabbit that dies and a dog is cooked.
It would be better to have a vanguard general like Yun Chu. A victory is certainly gratifying, but a defeat, the Tang Dynasty can afford this loss.
Now, except for one Tibetan who has a little bit that I can use to strangle with my army, the rest of the people in the world can be pacified by Yunchu's command of 20,000 troops."
The female officer nodded repeatedly and said: "That's true, but he is only twenty years old this year. Maybe in a few years, when he grows older and has a more mature mind, he might be able to lead more troops."
Wu Mei looked at the female official and said, "You have always been cautious, and I rarely hear you say good things about a person so intensively. How come you are here at Yun Chu and you are so unconcealed that all your words are good things?"
The female officer chuckled and said: "Because this slave just took a bite of the cake given by Miss Naha. Miss Naha has repeatedly asked this slave to speak more kind words to her brother. This slave is also soft-spoken.
I have no choice but to do so.
Hahaha, Queen... Didn't you see the silly girl's weird way of giving favors and singing along with Princess Anding? Even if you listened, you would say a lot of good things to her brother... Hahaha, Queen, slave.
I've lost my temper, I really can't bear it..."
This personal female officer had been with Wu Mei a long time ago, and later they entered Ganye Temple together, and were fished out of Ganye Temple together by Li Zhi.
Therefore, she was the only female official who could be so bold next to Wu Mei, who was always serious and cold.
As long as Wu Mei thought about the jokes Naha made in the past, she would be very happy. When she heard that her daughter was also here, she said to the female official: "I gave you a piece of cake, and I will give it to me too."
Isn’t it worth it?”
Hearing Wu Mei ask this question, the female officer laughed so hard that she almost died. She held her support on the pillar and panted for a long time before saying: "It's a piece of cake that Madam Naha secretly took out from the basket of cakes given to the Queen... Hahaha... You
I didn’t see her shrinking back..."
