On the day of the full moon banquet, the female members of each family entered the palace one hour before the banquet was to begin.

Without the desire to seduce the emperor, there is no point in them entering the palace too early.

The lessons learned from the girls who had offended the Queen a few years ago had ingrained in these women their fear of Gu Lanzhi.

Now, no one dared to speak nonsense in front of the Queen when entering the palace. Everyone was trembling with fear and trying to gather their courage.

Of course, we are talking about those people who once had the intention to plot against the queen. Those open and honest people got along very well with the queen.

The female relatives were all amazed when they saw the three plump and white princes and princesses.

Except for their queen, no one else has ever seen three babies born in one pregnancy.

The main thing was that the queen gave birth to three children at once and nothing happened, which made them even more surprised.

It’s not that they hoped something bad would happen to the queen, but in this era, it was really an incredible thing.

These three children were very well behaved when they were in Gu Lanzhi's belly, and they are still the same now, even when they are sleeping, and they don't make any noise or make any fuss when they wake up.

The baby was sitting next to the stroller, looking at his three sleeping brothers and sisters. He touched this one's little face, pinched that one's little hand, and poked that one's little feet. He loved them so much.

Ever since the three children were born, Bao Bao doesn’t even have time to play with Yan’er. After class, he goes to the three little babies.

When the babies are awake, Cong'er will hold them and play with them one by one. When the babies are not awake, Cong'er will stay by their beds, watching them and touching them gently.

The women from various families all smiled as they watched the eldest prince dote on his younger brothers and sisters.

It was also at this time that they realized how wise it was for the emperor not to have a harem.

If there were more people in the harem, would we still be able to see this warm scene as it is now?

How can the children be so harmonious with each other if their mothers are different?

It's easier when the children are young, but when they grow up, which prince doesn't want to fight for the supreme throne?

The princes of the previous dynasty were friendly and respectful to each other on the surface, but in private, who didn't hope for the death of others? There was so little competition.

There are also those who are unwilling to even put in superficial effort, and their words are full of swords and sabers.

Like the emperor and the empress, the children belong to both of them, so whoever ascends to the supreme throne in the end will own the seat!

Then there would be no competition among the princes, and given the wisdom of the emperor and empress, they would not give other court officials the opportunity to divide the children.

All the female members of the royal family felt that the princes of this dynasty were definitely the most harmonious and respectful to each other.

The palace banquet went very smoothly because everyone knew that the war on the border was raging and the emperor was in a bad mood.

No one is a fool and no one dares to cause trouble for the emperor at this time.

Just a few days after the child’s full-month banquet, Li Beichen received news of another defeat at the border.

The Xilin people launched a surprise attack at night. General Zhang was unable to react in time and the Xilin people burned several pieces of food and grass, causing heavy losses to his soldiers.

Although the city was not captured by the army from the west, it was still a defeat.

Li Beichen received the battle report when he returned to Fengqi Palace in the evening, and Gu Lanzhi also read it.

After reading the battle report, Gu Lanzhi sat in silence for a long time, and Li Beichen did not dare to talk to Gu Lanzhi.

Because Li Beichen knew very well that as long as he talked to Gu Lanzhi, Gu Lanzhi would definitely tell him about going to the battlefield.

Although Gu Lanzhi's health has recovered very well in the past month, physical weakness cannot be restored in just one month. Li Beichen is confident in Gu Lanzhi's ability, but not in his health.

How could going to the battlefield be like being in the palace? Everyone watched Gu Lanzhi take supplements and did not miss a meal.

Once he goes to the front line, it’s hard to say whether Gu Lanzhi will have time to eat, let alone replenish his body.

Li Beichen was also caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was concerned about the war at the border and hoped that Gu Lanzhi could lead his troops to the border to retake the lost city, but on the other hand, he was worried about Gu Lanzhi's health.

Gu Lanzhi is the one who will accompany him for the rest of his life. If he gets any illness from going to the battlefield, it will affect his lifespan.

Li Beichen simply cannot bear to lose Gu Lanzhi, so he is extremely conflicted now.

The living room was quiet. Even if the servants were walking around in the living room, they dared not make any noise.

Gu Lanzhi thought about it for almost half an hour, and finally spoke.

"I go."

Just two words decide everything.

Li Beichen closed his eyes, ultimately he couldn't escape this moment.

As an emperor, he had no right to stop Gu Lanzhi from leaving. As a husband, he had no reason to stop his wife from doing what he wanted.

Li Beichen was silent for ten minutes, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

The two men studied the war on the front line for two hours before they washed up and went to bed.

At the morning court the next day, Li Beichen announced the news that the queen would lead troops to the border in two days.

For a moment, the ministers in the court were talking about it.

When Gu Jingcheng heard the news, he just lowered his head and closed his eyes. He knew that his brother would definitely go, and it was already very good to be able to wait until his brother was out of confinement before going.

Gu Jingcheng understood his brother, so he had no intention of stopping him.

After the court officials discussed for a while, the Grand Marshal was the first to stand up.

This general is also an old official and was not promoted by Li Beichen.

The general first knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Beichen, and then said in a passionate voice: "Your Majesty, I know that the queen was a great general with great military achievements, and she helped Dongshun regain the lost territory.

But now the Queen is the Queen, the Queen Mother of Dongshun. How can it make sense for the Queen Mother to wear armor and go into battle?

How is the Queen Mother's going to war any different from Your Majesty leading the army in person?

Your Majesty, I think this is not possible!"

Although this old minister did not go along with those who opposed Li Beichen, he did not show that he was on Li Beichen's side and remained neutral.

As for old ministers, Li Beichen would give them some face as long as they were not against him.
