The princess of time travel is not stupid

Chapter 49

At the end of November in the 22nd year of Xuanwu, the Northern Qi Dynasty sent envoys to report that the monarch's deadline was approaching, and the princess Qi Yan was expected to return to preside over the overall situation.The empress refused to let people go without reason, natural disasters happened again and again, if the north was also in chaos, it would be worse.

After the imperial court, Xia Mi came to pay her respects as usual, but the empress rarely let her go back, there was still a map on the desk in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xia Mi glanced at it and lowered her head as if she hadn't seen it.Drinking the warm tea in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the whole body is warmed from the stomach to the feet, coupled with the abundant carbon fire, it is very comfortable.

Well, by the way, I also ate a few pieces of pastries, which are exquisite in style and just the right size for one bite, and I am very satisfied.

The empress glanced at her and said with a smile, "You have a very good appetite."

Xia Mi nodded, "On the top is the mother emperor, and on the bottom there are all civil and military officials. My Dacang is prosperous and powerful, and my ministers are naturally generous and have a good appetite." These remarks made the empress laugh, and the empress nodded Xia Mi twice. Shaking his head again and again, he said to Qing Wu: "Listen, this kid is getting better at talking."

Qing Wu echoed with a smile, but didn't say anything.

After dinner, Xia Mi helped the empress walk in the house to digest food. During the chat, the empress suddenly mentioned the problem in the north, and turned to Xia Mi: "Second brother, what do you think?"

Xia Mi thought for a while, but said in no hurry, "My son is stupid."

The empress sat on the couch and motioned her to sit on the side, "It's okay, let's talk about the daily life as a mother and daughter, don't mind."

It's not that you don't say anything, but it depends on how you say it. Before you say it, you have to ask for a pardon. In case you say something bad and offend someone, right, there must be an emperor covering you.Therefore, Xia Mi was the first to say what the empress said.

The location of Dacang is about to the east, but it is connected to the ocean in the east. In later generations, having a bay is a gift from the creator, but it is not the case today. The navigation technology is not developed, and people have a natural fear of the ocean, and there are even living sacrifices for the sake of The meaning of the weather is good, although the imperial court expressly prohibits living sacrifices, the folks still have this trend, so let's not mention it for the time being.

And most of the other three sides are adjacent to other countries, and small countries are ignored. In terms of size, there are Qi in the north, Liang in the south, and Qi in the west. women, but it cannot be denied that their ambitions are still there.

At some point, I will take a bite, and it is difficult for Dacang not to lose a piece of meat.

Let’s not mention anything else for now, but the old emperor of Northern Qi is about to die, and no one has any reason to stop his only daughter Qi Yan from going back. The key is that once she goes back, will other countries have to come to greet them? female?Should Da Cang also show the mighty grace of the emperor?

This person needs to be let go, how to let go is the safest way, this is the key.

Xia Mi only said: "I heard that the Northern Qi Emperor has a younger sister, she is an idle prince, but she is the same father and compatriot as the current Holy Majesty."

The empress nodded, "There is such a thing, what do you say?"

"A few days ago, my son was thinking about the floods in the north and looked at the map," Xia Mi said slowly, "If I remember correctly, there is a state named Huaiyang near Dacang in the Northern Qi Dynasty. There are no merchants here, so I want to come to the same place. The prince eats, drinks and has fun."

The empress listened for a long time, half-closed her eyes, looked serious, and said after a while, "You mean..."

It doesn't matter what you say, she didn't mention any solution, she just told the truth, as for what to do, that's the emperor's business, it has nothing to do with her.

Xia Mi smiled faintly, "The tea here is very fragrant and mellow."

"Qingwu, bring some tribute tea to the second child." The empress said happily, and after Xia Mi thanked her, she walked out slowly with the tea leaves. She sighed, but she was a little relieved, and smiled, "Old man Er, this person usually looks like he doesn't show mountains or water, but he is full of bad water."

These words could enter Qing Wu's ears, but could not exit her mouth, so Qing Wu just listened silently and added tea with a wink.

On December 22, the [-]nd year of Xuanwu, the empress summoned the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty to announce her will.A series of irrelevant nonsense, and then said that the two countries have friendly exchanges, and today you want to take the child back, that's fine, but anyway, after so many years of raising with me, I still feel a little bit reluctant.How about this, I see that your prince has the temperament of Qi Yan's child, so of course you won't let him come all the way to Dacang.

Let the prince stay in Huaiyang Prefecture, it's close to me, so it's convenient to visit, everyone should exchange more feelings.

The envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty were dumbfounded after hearing the decree. Is this... a split?The prince got the emperor's will to stay in Huaiyang, which is equivalent to being in the fiefdom. This...she was in a hurry, but she had no choice but to agree, right?If you don't agree, will the princess not be able to go back?

The envoy gritted his teeth, accepted the order, and said that she had no right to deal with it, and it all depended on the will of the princess.Okay, let's bring the princess back first. Before leaving, the old emperor repeatedly asked to bring his daughter back. What she didn't finish, I have to rely on my daughter to complete.

Qi Yan accepted the imperial decree without saying a word, and immediately explained to the envoy to follow the decree.

Three days later, he bid farewell to the empress and returned to Northern Qi. The accompanying escort led by Xia Wu personally sent him to the northern border of Dacang.

Before leaving, Qi Yan went to Prince Chun's mansion to visit her younger brother Qi Yang, she sighed, looking at her pregnant younger brother, she suddenly understood the source of the wind in Shangjing.

"Sister, are you going back to China?" Qi Yang couldn't help crying when he saw his sister. Ever since he became pregnant, he has been confined in this room, not even allowed to open a window. Well, the prince sent many people to guard him, in the euphemistic name of protecting him, but he is not a fool. After four years of marriage to the prince, the prince hardly ever enters his house, but on a certain day, he suddenly comes every night.

Later, he heard that the servant of the third princess in the palace was pregnant.

Oh, he is just a pawn.

When he was pregnant, the lord was almost imprisoned, he did not disclose any news, but announced that he was sick and unable to see others.

"Sister, I want to go back too." Thinking about the past four years, Qi Yang couldn't help throwing himself into Qi Yang's arms, so scared that Qi Yan quickly helped him up, gently wiped away his tears, and looked at the people outside the house, I don't know if I heard it.

She put both hands on his shoulders, forcing him to look at herself, "You have to remember, you are the concubine of Prince Da Cangchun, you are already hers, you can't go back to Beiqi." Looking at the stunned brother , she finally softened her heart, "But, my sister assures you, my sister will protect you."

As long as Bei Qi does not fall, she will be his backing, no matter what Prince Chun wants to do, he will be cautious.Qi Yan whispered a few more words in his ear, and patted his head, "You are not alone anymore, you have to learn to be strong."

Qi Yang looked down at his stomach, smiled helplessly, his eyes were pale and helpless.

However, the matter of seeing him off suddenly caused troubles. Most of the people selected by the Ministry of War were old, weak and disabled soldiers, and the weapons were even rusted and dilapidated and unusable.Xia Wu immediately blacked out the company, and rode her horse to Yang Yanyu's house, Minister of the Ministry of War, that is, her uncle's house, to inquire about it.Unexpectedly, the news leaked out quickly, and the civil servants began to impeach Yang Yanyu the next day.

"The guards sent off, they are all losers, not only disgraceful to the country, but even where is the safety of the upper capital?"

"The Ministry of War is not clean, the borders are not secured, and Dacang is in danger."

One by one was harsher than the other.

Xia Mi held a wat, and stood quietly listening to their quarrel, sure enough, never to provoke scholars, even though they can't do it with hands, but it's very powerful to fight with words.

You don't even use dirty words when swearing. It's not the kind of modern greetings that revolve around the eighteen generations of your ancestors.

The water became more and more turbulent, and the Empress couldn't stand it any longer. She asked Dali Temple to investigate Yang Yanyu first, and after the investigation, she ordered the two servants to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, especially the issue of weapons and soldiers.This is the first to solve the problem.

The empress looked at the group of people facing down, and sneered, "Let's solve the problem of escorting the team first, so don't think that you are all clean, who has no oil and water in their hands? I will take my time to figure it out with you." San Chao Afterwards, the empress did not leave for a long time. After everyone had left, Qing Wu asked softly, "Your Majesty?"

Unexpectedly, the empress grabbed the back of the chair and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, which frightened everyone.While summoning the imperial physician, Qing Wu wiped the blood from the corner of the Empress's mouth to give her comfort.

The empress coughed for a long time before she recovered, which is why she didn't get angry in the court.She shook her head, "Pour a glass of warm water."

"Don't say anything about this matter." The Empress rested for a long time before turning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In early December, Xia Wu was ordered to send Qi Yan, a hostage girl from Northern Qi, to the border of Dacang.

And the rumors that there were ominous rumors in the palace, and the follow-up rumors that people outside the palace were dissatisfied and wantonly spread, all stopped.

When it entered mid-December, it finally snowed.One night, the snow was so fierce that Xia Mi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He turned his head to look out the window, and the reflection turned white, and he could vaguely hear the sound of snowflakes pressing down on the branches. Xia Mi lay flat, looked at the ceiling, and suddenly muttered : "Already surprised that the quilt is cold, and the window is bright again. Deep in the night, I know the snow is heavy, and I hear the sound of folding bamboo."

"The poems of the ancients are really amazing." Xia Mi closed her eyes, retracted into the bed, and wrapped herself into a rice dumpling to keep out the cold. Even though the room was lit with charcoal fire, it still felt cold.Every year in winter, she misses the air conditioner, the warm air conditioner.

Mo Mansion, Mo Ya specially added two charcoal basins to the White Tea Room, "If you feel cold, tell me tomorrow." Mo Ya said, and brought her two more quilts, if it wasn't for White Tea Saying that there is no need for so many, it is estimated that Mo Ya will have to bring some more.

Bai Ming thanked her, looked at the white snow outside the house, and said: "I am surprised that the blanket is cold, and the window is bright again. I know the snow is heavy at night, and I hear the sound of folding bamboo."

"I didn't expect that your literary talent is also very good."

Bai Ming shook her head with a wry smile, "Someone read it to me."

Mo Ya knew who that person was, and said something else, "Qi Yan has gone back, I'm really envious."

"how about you?"

Mo Ya shook her head, "I don't know, maybe... Maybe I'll die here." Sitting next to Bai Ming, she bumped her shoulder and said jokingly: "Then you have to accompany me Me, if I die here, at least you will collect a corpse for me or something."

The same people who have fallen in the end of the world, who can be better than the other?
