Chapter 118 Zhichun

In the 14th year of establishment, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Qi Yang, the head coach of the northwest of Dali, led 30,000 personal soldiers to raid Yanmen, the northwest border city of Dayan. The war broke out in the sky and was not settled in a month.

After all, Meng Jiao has lived in Ruizhangtai for a month.

"Little lady, the concubine sent someone to send a message from the Imperial Garden, saying that there were a few red plum trees that were blooming just in time. Please come and take a look with the young lady."

At that time, Meng Jiao was carefully studying the letters sent by Chen Yunchan from Yanmen with her hands. The little maid hurriedly ran in, which scared Meng Jiao.

After hurriedly put away the letter, Mrs. Meng's steps to walk out of Ruizhang Platform became much lighter.

As the letter said, the situation in Yanmen is stable and you will be able to return to Beijing soon.

In the cold winter of the first month, except for the plum blossoms in the imperial garden, all flowers have withered. However, I don’t know if my mood suddenly became much brighter, but Meng Jiao could see signs of prosperity from the depression.

"The Imperial Concubine is inside. Today is the day to send blessings at the end of the first lunar month. The empresses in the palace have been invited to enjoy the plum blossoms."

"That's really lively."

Meng Jiao has seen all the empresses in the palace for more than a month.

Meng Jiao has seen all the friends who are good friends, not good friends, or fence-bearing grass, and the wind blows and falls wherever the wind blows.

The little maid helped Meng Jiao into the depths of the plum forest. Sure enough, the bells and swallows were very lively.

Concubine An saw Meng Jiao at a glance and waved her hand quickly. The little maid could see things and sent Meng Jiao to Concubine An in a few steps.

"I woke up early today. I remember that today is a day to send blessings, so I sent a post to each palace. I originally wanted to bring you here with me. Who would have thought that you slept particularly sweetly this morning, so I didn't want to wake you up."

Concubine An was teasing her gentle words, but Meng Jiao's ears were red unconsciously.

Why do I sleep so well? Because I received a letter from Chen Yunchan last night. I tossed and turned for a long time, but I still haven't been willing to let go when I get up.

Concubine An didn't know this, but Meng Jiao still felt a little embarrassed.

"I think it's because the public life is comfortable, and the young lady has learned to be lazy. Oh, it's the concubine who is spoiled. If the girl in my family is so lazy, I will definitely discipline her strictly."

The person who spoke was another favorite concubine, Li, in the palace. In short, she was also the cousin of the empress dowager and the girl selected by the Yun family branch.

Ten years after entering the palace, he had one son and two daughters. Although his status was not as good as that of Concubine An, he was still favored.

Therefore, I have been incompatible with Concubine An for many years.

"Oh? Concubine Li means that the girls in the Yun family are well-educated and obedient?"

"That's natural. My Yun family's wealthy family naturally abides by the rules. Imperial Concubine, what are the prejudices against my Yun family's daughter?"

Concubine Li fiddled with a plum blossom folded from her hand. Their Yun family daughters were all as dazzling as the red plum in the snow!

Concubine An looked at Concubine Li's smug face, and a smile slowly emerged from the corners of her lips.

"How did I see that Yun Lian, the most precious lady from the Yun family, is very different from what Lifei said about the Deyun family's girl who follows the rules and regulations?"

Yun Lian's name was spoken from Concubine An, and Concubine Li's expression changed obviously.

However, before she could explain anything, she had a good friend to Concubine An and a concubine spoke one after another.

"The Concubine is right. Some time ago, I heard that Miss Yunlianyun went to the Concubine's side in person, and wanted to move the little lady and be the Ehuang Nuying with the little lady!"

"Mrs. Yaohua's words are wrong. I heard that Miss Yun didn't think so much. She only asked for the identity of a maid to stay in the Shen family, which was enough to comfort her lovesickness."

The concubine was talking and laughing. The laughter sounded in Li Fei's ears, which was slapping her in front of so many people.

"Ha! You are all palace concubines. Don't you know that the rumors should not be taken seriously? No one has seen them with his own eyes. Didn't the rumors spread from the palace of the Imperial Concubine?"

Concubine Li sneered, but pointed her finger at Concubine An again.

"If Concubine Li insists on thinking this way, I have no choice. But in the palace, only Concubine Li believes that this matter has nothing to do with Miss Yun."

Concubine An did not care about Concubine Li's provocation. The matter that Yun Lian did was already rumored in the palace. Concubine Li believed it or not, and she could not change Miss Yun, and the Yun family was disgraced in the palace.

As expected, Concubine An didn't want to pay attention to her, and Concubine Li didn't have the chance to speak up again.

I could only feel sulky alone, and I couldn't sit still for a while, so I got up and said resigned, leaving in a hurry.

"She has such a personality. She has been in the palace for ten years and hasn't changed. Gillian, don't care about her words."

"Aunt An has already spoken for me, why do I care about these things?"

Concubine Li was just showing off her verbal pleasure. Meng Jiao was unwilling to argue with others about these rumors, so she naturally would not take this matter to heart.

"That's good... By the way, Gillian, I heard from His Majesty yesterday that there was a good news coming from Yanmen Pass. If the battle situation is stable, the boy of the Shen family will be able to return triumphantly within three or two months."

Although I had already learned the news, after hearing Concubine An said this, Meng Jiao could not control her rising mouth.

Shen Yunchan has made great achievements in combat. Now that Yanmen has received good news, his statement will be further improved.

"Aunt An...I...I want to send him something to the northwest, a bitter and cold place, I don't know what he will lack."

Concubine An looked at Meng Jiao who was a little embarrassed and understood.

The commander of Shen Yunchan's army, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so naturally he will not be short of food and clothing.

The little girl asked this, but she actually wanted to tell the boy who was fighting outside that she was still thinking about him.

"If I say something is missing, I don't know. Gillian, how can I let others decide for you if I want to give it to others?"

Meng Jiao was teased and her face turned red, but she also listened to this.

So, what should I give him something?

Mrs. Meng kept thinking about this question until the night, when she was lying on the couch and tossing and turning, almost falling asleep, suddenly, a faint fragrance of flowers was smelled at the tip of her nose.

Meng Jiao suddenly woke up, and she suddenly remembered a poem that was like that - Jiangnan has nothing, and she talked about giving her a branch of spring.

The capital city is cold and the flowers are withering, so it is unlikely to give a spring branch, but there is no other fragrance to give.

Three or five days later, the war stopped outside Yanmen Pass, and a caravan from the capital was welcomed in the city.

"We were ordered by the nobles in the capital. We were to come here to exchange for some northwest objects and to send things to Shen Shuai."

The noble man in the capital even named something to send Chen Yunchan. General Shen almost immediately realized that he had not taken off his battle robe and hurriedly ran out of the general's mansion.

"Which family from Beijing?"

"In the capital, the Imperial Concubine."

It was indeed his little girl, General Shen, who was intimidating the battlefield, urging people to open the box.

After unboxing, a wintersweet plant that was about to bloom suddenly appeared.

A letter was hung on the wintersweet tree.
