The sky is dark, the fallen trees are rustling, and there is autumn rain and cold.
The flowers in the garden have all fallen, the trees are bleak, and the pale yellow leaves are wetted by the rain and fall to the ground one after another. In the flower hall of Linchuan Princess Mansion, Princess Gaoyang is sitting in front of the open window, leaning slightly, her perfect profile is like a painter's painting
A beautiful and dignified lady with smooth skin, slender neck and picturesque eyebrows.
He was staring at the desolate and bustling garden, feeling a little dazed.
The originally bright eyes were a little dim, the plump cheeks were also a little thin, and the whole person had an aura of haggard and hesitation, which made people feel pitiful...
Reports of the battle in Hexi are delivered to the capital every day and are delivered to the desks of the prince and ministers. Naturally, the house also receives special family letters.
In a letter from home a few days ago, Lang Jun mentioned that Tuyuhun's tens of thousands of cavalry were already only a few dozen miles away from the mouth of Dadou Bago Valley, and could arrive overnight.
Counting the time, in just a few days, the war will begin.
Even if Princess Gaoyang admires and trusts Fang Jun, the situation of this battle between 20,000 and 780,000 people still makes her worried.
just in case……
She quickly shook her head, she simply couldn't imagine the outcome.
A slender, slightly cool palm stretched out and gently held her hand.
Princess Gao Yang turned around and saw Princess Chang Le next to her with a smile on her face and whispered: "Ji people have their own destiny, so my sister should have confidence in him. Back then, he was able to lead an army of soldiers out of Bai Dao.
Xue Yantuo, who had hundreds of thousands of men who controlled the strings, was destroyed in one day. How can he be defeated by Tuyuhun now? Relax, maybe in these two days, good news will be delivered."
Princess Gaoyang held Princess Changle's palm with her backhand and smiled.
At the beginning, she kept trying to comfort Princess Changle, saying that her husband was good at fighting and brave enough to win the three armies, so he would come back victorious and shine in the world. In just a few days, she actually changed her mind and became worried.
, but Princess Changle needs to be comforted...
My character is still a bit worse.
The two of them held each other's hands, looked at each other and smiled. They both felt that their hearts were for the same man. Not only did they not become separated from each other, but their relationship became closer than before.
"Hey, what are you two doing? Look at this enthusiasm, the sisters see it and are so jealous."
Princess Ankang on the side couldn't help but cover her lips and smile when she saw the expressions on the two people's faces.
Princess Changle smiled but said nothing.
Princess Gaoyang was about to speak when she heard someone on the side sighing: "Why is Ankang talking like this? Didn't you see that Sister Gaoyang looked sad and full of lovesickness? My husband is leading the army outside. If you are not careful, there will be a disaster."
How can we not be worried about a big defeat? He has lost a lot of weight. It's not that Gao Yang is narrow-minded. The swords and arrows in this battle formation have no eyesight. What if something unexpected happens... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really pitiful.
."
Princess Gaoyang immediately glared at her.
Who else can speak like this except the owner of this place, Princess Linchuan?
Prince Consort Zhou Daowu is a son-in-law whom His Majesty Li Er relies on very much. Among the sons-in-law, he is the first to lead an army and is responsible for guarding Liaodong. He is young and promising, with a bright future. Although his family background may not be as good as that of the Prince Consort, in terms of popularity
, in terms of future, few among the Prince Consort can match it.
However, since Fang Jun suddenly emerged, he has completely stolen the limelight from Zhou Daowu.
What is particularly irritating is that this stick not only became more and more famous and won the favor of his father, but also repeatedly clashed with Zhou Daowu, suppressing Zhou Daowu to the death, causing his face to be lost and his reputation to be ruined.
Under such circumstances, Princess Linchuan naturally shared the same hatred with her consort, and she became increasingly displeased with Fang Jun and Princess Gaoyang.
This time, the troops in Guanzhong were empty, and Fang Jun had to lead the army on an expedition. Some people in the court admired his determination to not be afraid of difficulties and stand up to shoulder heavy responsibilities, but many people ridiculed him for overestimating his own capabilities and seeking death. They are waiting to see him.
A joke about the overwhelming defeat.
Princess Linchuan is one of them...
Originally, due to the conflict between Fang Jun and Zhou Daowu, the two families had no contact. Although Linchuan and Gao Yang were both daughters of His Majesty Li Er, the Tian family was inherently indifferent.
We were not close emotionally at that time, but now we treat each other with respect and dislike each other.
Since Zhou Daowu went out with the army, Linchuan returned to Chang'an from Youzhou. Apart from the most basic greetings, the two families would not meet at all.
It's just that today is Linchuan's birthday. Two days ago, the prince told Gao Yang not to ignore family ties and to come to the house no matter what, send congratulations and say a few happy words. After all, they are all sisters, at least they can save face.
It should be passable.
But I never thought that although Gao Yang felt some family affection and was willing to accompany Xiao to visit, Linchuan didn't appreciate it at all...
With Princess Gaoyang's coquettish temper, how could she be so angry?
With a cold face, Dang Ji said angrily: "My husband stands upright and stands upright when the country is in danger. He does not care about personal life and death, honor and disgrace. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hero in this world! Now we can sit here safely and enjoy wealth and command.
, it is precisely because my husband led his army to fight the powerful enemy in Hexi! Otherwise, once the enemy invades Hexi and the troops advance to Guanzhong, I am afraid that your golden branches and precious leaves will be plundered by the barbarians, and you will be humiliated and covered with fishy mutton.
You are so angry, how can you have the dignity to sit here and make sarcastic remarks? My husband led the army in the war, knowing that he was almost dead but had no regrets. You are just ungrateful. Instead, you are viciously cursing here. You are simply vicious, mean and stupid!"
These words made all the princesses in the hall speechless and sighed in their hearts.
No matter how I felt about Fang Jun in the past, when the country was in danger, it was Fang Jun who was not afraid of hardships and faced death. He knew that the odds were against him but resolutely challenged him to fight. Who can disapprove of such a responsibility?
Apart from Princess Linchuan, who was angrily scolded by Princess Gaoyang, the most embarrassing one was Princess Baling. It was precisely because General Zuotunwei told Duke Chai Zhewei of Qiao State that he was "sick" and could not go on an expedition that Fang Jun had to
He led half of the Youtun Guards out of Hexi.
In comparison, Chai Zhewei's reputation has long been discredited and he has become a laughing stock. Even his sister-in-law Princess Baling cannot hold her head high...
Princess Linchuan turned blue and was extremely angry.
Others were wary of Princess Gaoyang's delicate and unruly character, but she was not afraid. She was about to retaliate when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside. When she turned around, she saw that it was the Crown Prince Li Chengqian with the Princes of Wei, Qi, Yan, Jiang, Jin and other princes.
Step in.
Li Chengqian walked slowly inside, with a smile on his gentle face. He was originally swollen, but these days he was troubled by many things. He had trouble sleeping day and night, and he didn't know how to eat. He lost a lot of weight, and the lines on his face became clearer.
, actually looked energetic, a bit more capable than before.
Walking into the hall, he was keenly aware that something was not right in the atmosphere, especially when Princess Gao Yang stood there and was being held by Princess Changle's hand. Her face was bulging with anger, and she looked very unhappy. Li Chengqian must have had a headache.
.
He naturally knew that these two families had never been against each other, but he just thought that they were sisters after all, so they couldn't live without each other forever, right? Today was Linchuan's birthday, so it was a good opportunity for these two to relax, and they were not enemies of life and death.
Why is this so?
However, in the current situation, it is obvious that these two people are at odds again...
Sighing in his heart but not showing it on his face, Li Chengqian sat down with the princes and said to Princess Gaoyang with a smile: "The visitor is a guest. My sister is standing and talking like this. Doesn't it seem that Linchuan has not treated her well? Hurry up and take your seats and wait.
Let’s have a few drinks with Gu Haosheng later.”
He also didn't like Linchuan very much. This sister was vain, jealous, and narrow-minded, which was not in line with his character. However, Gao Yang, who seemed to be coquettish and carefree and straight-forward, liked him very much.
However, as an elder brother, he naturally wants a bowl of water to be balanced, and he cannot care about one thing or the other. Furthermore, now that Fang Jun is away on an expedition, Guanzhong's troops are empty, and Chai Zhewei and his Zuotun Guards are needed to deter the scoundrels, so he becomes more and more worried
We need to protect Linchuan more.
You can't let the outside world notice your intention to alienate the Chai family...
Princess Gaoyang didn't pay much attention to those intrigues and entangled interests, but she often chatted with Wu Meiniang and was influenced by her. She also had some understanding of the current situation and understood Li Chengqian's good intentions, so she snorted and said,
He sat down reluctantly.
The prince's current situation is extremely difficult. With Tuyuhun's rebellion, the cannibals have invaded the Western Region, and there is a raging storm in the court. I don't know how many people are secretly planning their own plans. If you are not careful, the prince will fall into a situation that will never be recovered.
The prince has always loved and cared for her, how could she cause trouble at this time?
