During the southern tour, Rainstorm was pregnant, Xiao Xieyi thought about it, and when the southern tour was over and returned to Beijing, he and Fengfeng would be released from the palace. It's a pity, but Rainstorm is his own brother, and his lifelong happiness is more important. He always keeps people tied up, and the late emperor might come to him in a dream.Later, there was an accident in Xiayi, the heavy rain lost the child in order to protect Gu Wei, Ji Meng also said that she might not be able to have children in the future, Xiao Xieyi felt extremely guilty.

The queen passed away, the southern tour was over, Yu Jia returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, Xiao Xieyi asked the heavy rain whether to go back with him, or to take care of his health in the south of the Yangtze River.Rainstorm was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xiao Xieyi meant, where he was, he was there, why did he ask him.

Xiao Xieyi just said what he meant. Although the child is gone, the storm is always together. It is inconvenient for him to keep them in the palace, so after returning to Beijing, he will let them out of the palace. They want to have fun in Jiangnan, so they can go back later.

Rainstorm panicked at the time, pulled Xiao Xieyi's sleeves and asked if he didn't want him anymore, and he wanted to go to his mother's mausoleum to file a complaint.Xiao Xieyi was baffled, while comforting Rainstorm, saying that she had no intention of not wanting him, while thinking in her heart, did he say something wrong.

Although Xiao Xiyi repeatedly assured that he had no intention of driving the violent storm out of the palace, the heavy rain still asked relentlessly: "Since you didn't want me, why did you drive me and senior brother out of the palace? Did we do something wrong?" His The eyes are clear and bright, looking extremely innocent.

Xiao Xieyi was helpless, he couldn't figure out how Xuanying taught Rainstorm back then, and why he was so devoted to him, but he still patiently explained: "Rainstorm, I really didn't want you, you see you and Stormwind are together , it’s not very convenient to be in the palace every day.”

"What's the inconvenience? We've always been like this." Rainstorm's life has always been simple. Before he was ten years old, he was in the valley of Phoenix Mountain. After ten years old, he was in the palace, beside Xiao Xieyi and Feng Qi. Never thought that one day I would leave them.

Xiao wrote that Rainstorm insisted on staying in the palace, so he didn't say anything about letting them out of the palace, but changed their identities from darkness to light. The riding and archery master named him, saying that he was asked to teach Qiuran martial arts, but in fact he was asked to play with Qiuran and protect his safety by the way.Rainstorm is very satisfied with this arrangement, and he is very active in going to work every day. Now that he has a more beautiful face, he has more fun. Poor few friends who are studying, he is so weak that he trains him every day.

After all, Qiu Ran started practicing with Rainstorm when he was less than three years old. He is extremely talented and not afraid of hardship, so it doesn't matter.Qiuyan has been in Kunyang Mountain for five years. Apart from studying, she is practicing martial arts with Wei Lang every day. He has a good foundation and is a few years older, so he doesn't feel strenuous.It’s different for the little companions. Except for Longjian, the other children are from scholars. At first, they wanted to go to the palace to accompany the prince to study. They didn’t expect to accompany the prince in the riding and archery class, but the master’s requirements were strict. Terrible.

And even if you want to complain, the two princes are meticulous, they do what the master says, they don't dare to speak out at all, they can only do it with a bitter face.This afternoon, on the martial arts training ground in the palace, a dozen or so boys ranging in age from five to ten stood in two rows according to their height, and they were squatting. The dragon sword beside the second row lightly touched Xiao Qiuyan. arm.Seeing that Rainstorm was correcting the movements of a child in the first row, Xiao Qiuyan turned to look at him and asked him what's the matter, Long Jian blinked but said nothing.

It was not until the rest time that Long Jian pulled Xiao Qiuyan aside, asked him in a low voice, did he give the things he gave to Princess Yuanyang for him last time, and how did she react when she received the things he gave.Xiao Qiuyan shook her head in embarrassment. Although he and Yuan Yang are sisters and brothers, they are already nine years old and are about to turn ten years old. They don't meet each other in private. Yuan Yang lives alone in Tangli Pavilion, and he also entrusts Dan Yang , he transferred the things to Yuan Yang's hands. As for Yuan Yang's reaction after seeing it, he didn't know.

The year before last, when Xiao Yurong came back from her southern tour, she went to Yumen Pass again, where she arrested Long Jun and forced her to marry her.She has already made up her mind, if Long Jun doesn't agree, she will give up and travel around the world by herself.I don't want Long Jun to be entangled by her for so many years, I don't know if he is annoyed or moved, but he nodded.Xiao Yurong was overjoyed, and when she returned to Shangjing, she wanted Xiao Xiyi to decree a marriage. Xiao Shuipin, the two of them wandered around, but they still came together, which was very surprising. However, Long Jun himself agreed on the marriage, and he agreed. don't say anything.

Because Xiao Yurong was really old, Concubine Luo didn't object, and watched the House of Internal Affairs make all kinds of preparations, and married her last year.To Xiao Xieyi's expectation, Xiao Yurong and Long Jun are living a good life, probably due to more ups and downs than in the previous life. Long Jun has been stationed at Yumen Pass all year round, and Xiao Yurong has never asked Xiao Xieyi to beg for mercy. But after the newlyweds, they followed Long Jun with all their burdens.The eldest princess accompanied the army in person, which greatly moved the soldiers of the Northwest Camp.

At the beginning of this year, Rouran people invaded Yumen Pass, Concubine Luo was terrified, and wrote several letters to Xiao Yurong, urging her to come back quickly.Xiao Yurong ignored her at first, and only replied to a letter two months ago, which meant that she would not come back.Along with the letter came back a two-month-old baby, Long Jian and Long Qin's little brother, Long Ji.The Long family was really surprised and happy when they received the child. Long Jian and Long Qin had never seen Xiao Yurong except that they had greeted Xiao Yurong on the second day of their wedding. It was very strange to see the little brother suddenly at this time.

Xiao Xieyi rewarded Long Jun with great victory at Yumen Pass, but he and Xiao Yurong were not in the capital, so he made Long Jian the grandson of the Duke of Wei, which also showed the attitude of the royal family, although Long Ji was the son of the eldest princess , but the title of the Long family will still be passed on to the eldest grandson.

Then there was Longji's hundred-day wine. Concubine Luo felt sorry for her grandson, she separated from her parents at a young age, so she begged Xiao Xinyi to serve him wine in the palace.Xiao Xieyi felt that this was also a good way to show grace to the Long family, so she agreed and handed over the matter to Concubine Luo.

My younger brother's hundred-day wine, Longjian and Longqin are definitely going to enter the palace, and I met Yuanyang somehow, Longjian has a good impression of her, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to make a deep friendship, so I asked Xiao Qiuyan to give it to Xiao Qiuyan. Gift, unexpectedly there is no more text, naturally I feel a little uneasy.

No one noticed Long Jian and Xiao Qiuyan who were whispering. Qiu Ran had her eyes on them at some point, and was hiding beside them to eavesdrop on their conversation, listening with great interest. It turns out that Cousin Long Jian likes the big sister, Qiu Ran is dark and bright His eyeballs rolled round and round.

After class, Qiu Ran found Dan Yang and asked her if she had helped Qiu Yan pass things to Yuan Yang, and Dan Yang nodded.Qiu Yan asked her if she knew what it was, and asked Yuan Yang if she was happy to see Gao.Dan-yang glances at him and says it’s a secret, and she won’t tell him.

Qiu Ran went back to the palace unhappily. He didn't want to do anything bad. He just wanted to give Sesel some gifts, but he didn't know what to give, so he wanted to refer to it. If Yuan Yang liked what Longjian gave him, he would According to the same, send a copy to Sese to Jiangdu.

To add, Sese is the name of the fourth girl of the Jiang family.The year before last, not long after Shengjia returned to Beijing, the Liu family gave birth to Jiang Yichun's sixth daughter. Last year, the Qiao family gave birth to another seven daughters.Because Qiu Ran and Jiang Sesur had correspondence, Feng Qi and Xiao Xieyi also knew about it.

Both of them were full of sympathy for Jiang Yichun. They married two wives and gave birth to Seven Fairies. What a blessing.Maybe because he felt that the daughters were growing up, and it was unreasonable to keep calling them by rank, so Jiang Yichun chose the names of all seven daughters in one go.

Jiang Sesur told Qiu Ran about it immediately, and she finally had a name.Qiu Ran wrote back to congratulate him, and gave him a gift with the letter. As a result, Jiang Sesur received the dead fireflies sent from the capital to Jiangdu all the way, and cried on the spot.

Not only that, but she hasn't written to Qiuran for three months. Qiuran can't figure out why Sese is angry. It is through Yuanyang and Jiang Yuanniang's bridge that they resume diplomatic relations.Later, Qiu Ran gave Jiang Sesur a radish badge, which was "Sether" engraved by him.

But when the radish chapter arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, it was already a rotten radish, and the words on it had long since disappeared. Although Jiang Sesur didn't cry, she was still very angry. I don't know what Qiu Ran meant, did she deliberately play tricks on her, or Feng Qi helped Explain to make things clear.

From then on, Qiu Ran didn't dare to give Jiang Sesur anything. Gold, silver and jewelry were boring, and they looked tacky, but he didn't like the fireflies he caught and the radish chapters he carved by himself, and he didn't know anything else. , he also wanted to carve a jade chapter, but he was not strong enough.

That's why when he saw Longjian giving Yuanyang something, he wanted to refer to it. Not wanting Danyang to be very trustworthy and resolutely keeping the secret, Qiu Ran went back to the palace unhappy.Feng Qi just came back from the Ministry of War, and seeing her son was gloomy, she asked him what was wrong, but Qiu Ran shook her head and refused to say anything.

"Qiu Ran, did you quarrel with Sesel?" Feng Qi recalled that Qiu Ran was unhappy the last two times because she had a misunderstanding with Jiang Sesel.

Qiu Ran still shook her head, seeing Feng Qi staring at her all the time, she asked him: "Daddy, what are you giving gifts to Father?"

Feng Qi was stunned immediately, he was not surprised by his son's problem, but he found out that he had known Xiao Xieyi for 20 years, and he never seemed to have given him anything in private except for gifts for various festival banquets every year, but Xiao Xieyi, Every now and then, I will give him a little surprise.

Seeing that Feng Qi didn't speak, Qiu Ran thought that he was having the same headache as her, so she said with a bitter face, "Daddy, what do you think Sese likes? Why do I make her angry every time I give her something?" He's clearly been working hard.

Feng Qi touched Qiu Ran's head, and smiled lightly: "Qiu Ran, it's good that you want to make something yourself for Seser, but..." To be honest, Feng Qi felt that his son was very caring. Right in the capital, I would be very happy to receive a small gift from Qiu Ran. Unfortunately, Qiu Ran didn't think about it. His gift was too time-sensitive. In order to keep it secret, he refused to ask for their opinions before sending it. Making such a low-level mistake resulted in two misunderstandings. If they hadn't helped explain it, he still wouldn't be able to figure it out.

"But what?" Qiu Ran asked, he didn't dare to give Thurse anything now.

"The capital city is so far away from Jiangdu. The things you gave to Sese will be broken before they are delivered. Which girl will be happy when she sees a bottle of dead bugs or a rotten radish?" Qiu Ran and Jiang Sesur are young and have limited literacy. Their so-called communication has more circles than words, and there are various pictures, but that's it, the meaning may not be clear, and Feng Qi is occasionally asked Write it with Jiang Yichun, otherwise with Qiu Ran's level of secrecy, Feng Qi really wouldn't be able to understand their correspondence.

"Daddy, I understand." Qiu Ran clapped her hands and cheered, "Next time I give Sesel something, I want it to last longer, right?" It was broken, and Sese didn't see it at all.

"What do you want to give Qiu Ran?" Feng Qi planned to steal the teacher, and he suddenly felt that occasionally he needed to surprise Xiao Xieyi.

"I don't know yet, I haven't figured it out yet." Qiu Ran secretly made up her mind not to make any more problems this time.

Her son couldn't provide any advice for the time being, so Feng Qi thought for herself, but after much deliberation, she couldn't figure out what Xiao Xieyi liked. In the past few years, it seemed that as long as she gave him a good face, he would be very happy, and there was never any extra. Request, Feng Qi fell into distress.

What Feng Qi is worrying about, Xiao Xieyi doesn't know, the focus of his attention recently is the war in the northwest.Don't look at Long Jun's good response, Rouran people attacked several times, but he beat them back, but the drought in the grassland is too serious, Rouran can't be counted by repelling.

Xiao Xieyi has been the emperor for two lifetimes, and she can feel the thoughts of the grassland people. In the year of the catastrophe, the Rouran people could not survive, so they could only run south. If you grab something, grab it, if you grab more things, the days will go on.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t win the war. People die in wars. The more people die, the less food they need. Don't be afraid to kill me until the weather improves.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The Rouran people are the ones who are barefoot. They have nothing, and they are already forced to survive by God, so they don’t need to mobilize when they attack the pass. The only way to survive.

Da Zhou wears shoes, so the situation is much more troublesome. As long as they are prepared, it is not difficult for them to repel Rouran, but what is the use of repelling, they can come back. As for rushing outside the pass to fight against Rouran , Xiao Xieyi didn't want to do it again after having the tragic victory experience in her previous life.

The war in the Northwest is constantly raging, and Long Jun will not stop asking the Ministry of Accounts for money and food. Although the treasury has money now, Xiao Xieyi still feels a little heartbroken seeing the money flowing out in vain. Officials have different views on the Northwest War.

The peace faction said that although Dazhou had the upper hand, the money spent in the war was no less than what was robbed by the Rouran people, and even if they won, they would not get anything back from the Rouran people. , There is no need to continue fighting endlessly, it is better to sit down and negotiate.

The reason why the main fighters don't do it is that it's nothing to negotiate when they can't win. Now they are obviously suppressing the other party, so why do they still need to negotiate? However, it is true that people will never dare to invade the Central Plains.

The peace advocates retorted, whoever said that if you have the upper hand, you can’t negotiate a peace, it is only at this time that you can talk to the other party, so that you can negotiate with the other party.People from the two factions aired their opinions and quarreled endlessly, making Xiao Xiyi's ears ringing.

In fact, from Xiao Xieyi's point of view, he wants to make peace. Fighting with the Rouran people is incompatible with Westerners. No matter how miserable they are, they will not gain much. Anyway, the Rouran people are poor and useless. It's useless to collect their grassland Da Zhou.

Naval battles are different, he was really attacked by Westerners, that is to cut off Xiao Xieyi's financial resources, it's no wonder he doesn't work hard with others.However, in the current situation in the DPRK and China, the war faction clearly has the upper hand, and many of them have military merits, and Xiao Xieyi can't do too much to give them face.

When it was time for dinner, Xiao Xieyi sent a message to Qifeng Palace before he finished approving the papers, saying that he would not pass, and asked Feng Qi to take the children to eat first.Danyang and Qiuran were a little disappointed, but they didn't say anything, they still ate their food obediently, and even peeked at Feng Qi from time to time.

Feng Qi had just passed the most difficult period of the first three months. Although she could not vomit after eating, her appetite was not very good. Both children had eaten, and there was still more than half a bowl of rice left in his bowl. It didn't work, but I ate some green vegetables and small pickles.

Danyang looked at him worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Daddy, are you still not feeling well?" For the first two months, Feng Qi was so sick that she almost didn't even dare to go to the dinner table. They couldn't eat anything, and Danyang and Qiuran were very worried after seeing it.

Feng Qi shook her head and said with a smile: "Daddy is fine, we will eat with Father later." Feng Qi thought for a while, and planned to send some food to Xiao Xieyi, but she heard from Huanxi that he was very busy these days Quite often, the meals delivered by the imperial dining room are all randomly picked and pulled, and two bites are considered a meal.

"Oh." Danyang nodded vigorously, dragging out his voice meaningfully, thinking of something.

Sending the two children to play in the Imperial Garden, Feng Qi took the food box and went to the Imperial Study Room. Unfortunately, he couldn't remember what Xiao Xieyi liked to eat, so he had to pick a few things he liked. He remembered He usually puts these dishes in his meals.

Xiao Xieyi was so busy that she was very happy to see Feng Qi came, so she dragged him to sit down in the side hall, and greeted her warmly.

"Huai Jin, did you come here specially to deliver food to me?" Asking Feng Qi's reason for coming, Xiao Xie Yi suddenly became a little excited.You know, this is the first time that Feng Qi came to the Imperial Study Room not for political affairs, but for him. How did he get enlightened? He must thank that person.

Feng Qi nodded as a signal, opened the food box with her own hands, and took out the plates inside, and then a little eunuch came over and took down the empty food box.While watching Feng Qi's movements, Xiao Xieyi couldn't help laughing, such a virtuous Feng Qi is really rare.

"Your Majesty, why don't you eat?" Feng Qi picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but seeing that Xiao Xieyi didn't move, she couldn't help asking.

It was only then that Xiao Xieyi realized that Feng Qi was not watching him eat, but wanted to eat with him. Not only was she unhappy, she was even a little angry, "Huaijin, you haven't eaten yet?" What time is this, Feng Qi Why didn't he eat on time, he is now two people.

Feng Qi smiled and said: "I used a little with my two children, and I'm a little hungry after walking all the way, so I plan to eat some more."

Xiao Xieyi was happy now, he was afraid that Feng Qi would not be able to eat, some time ago Feng Qi vomited hard, and he was heartbroken seeing it, now seeing that Feng Qi has a good appetite, he immediately felt relieved, the two happily spent the night Meal, eat more than usual.

After dinner, Xiao Xinyi didn't let Feng Qi go back immediately, but discussed with him about the war in the northwest.With the current level of fighting, Xiao Xieyi also wants to negotiate peace, otherwise, not to mention, the casualties of personnel and the expenditure of silver taels are really unbearable.

It's just that the border of Dazhou has been stable for so many years, and the military generals have no chance to make meritorious deeds. Their status in the upper echelon has dropped again and again, and finally the people from Rouran came to the door. They have the upper hand again, as long as they go to the northwest In the circle, it is military merit to come back, so many people do not want the war to end as soon as possible, but hope to prolong it indefinitely, so that their nephews can go to the front line to be plated with gold.Xiao Xieyi naturally didn't want to see such a situation, the money he had worked so hard to earn was not for them to squander like this.

"Your Majesty wants peace talks?" Feng Qi is now in the Ministry of War, and he may know more about frontline affairs than Xiao Xieyi.

"If the fight continues like this, the treasury's money won't be able to sustain it, and unless we kill all the Rouran people, this stalemate will not benefit us at all." Xiao Xieyi is not afraid of fighting, but he doesn't want to fight a battle where he will lose money even if he wins. , is really meaningless.

"Since that's the case, what scruples does Your Majesty have?" Since Xiao Xiyi wanted to talk, he could just side with the peace faction, so why hesitate.

"The main battlers have made meritorious service before, and I don't want to chill their hearts." Leaving aside those who followed suit, the few companies that continued to fight all made great contributions when the battle was tight in the early stage. Yes, the current advantageous situation was also created by them. Xiao Xieyi wanted peace talks, so he really had to appease them, otherwise, if there was a war next time, who would work for him.If it wasn't so, Xiao Xieyi didn't have to hesitate, he could send people to talk directly, fight if the talk didn't go well, and keep talking if he won, there would always be a result.

"As long as your majesty rewards you according to your merits, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined, I don't think it's a big problem." Long Jun's first contribution to the Yumen Pass victory belonged to Long Jun, and no one could take it away. His father, Long Teng, was the leader of the main battle faction. Xieyi is very loyal, if Xiao Xieyi wants to talk, he won't say anything else.

Then there is Junli. When the Northwest War broke out, he was sent by Xiao Xiyi to support him. His credit is not small. Behind Junli, the British government and the Dingguo government are involved. Feng Qi is not sure about these two. It can still be won, and the rest are nothing to worry about.

"How do you want me to reward you?" Xiao Xieyi said half-jokingly and half-seriously. If Jun Li was not for Feng Qi's younger brother, he would have photographed Jun Yi long ago. How old is he, jumping up and down all day long? Don't be afraid to show your old waist.

"When Junli comes back, give him and Miss Ye a marriage. By the way, I will also settle the orders of my younger siblings and the titles of my nephew and niece." Feng Qi didn't shirk, and mentioned a few things in passing, all in name only. , but it can satisfy the Jun and Ye families.

"Is it possible to do this?" Xiao Xieyi wondered, those stubborn old men are not so easy to talk to.

Afterwards, Feng Qi summoned Jun Luchuan, told him what Xiao Xieyi meant, and asked him to go home to appease Mr. Jun, saying that the emperor didn't want to fight any more, and told them to accept it as soon as they were good, and not to make too much trouble based on their military merits. , In the end, everyone looked bad.

Over at Long's house, Xiao Xieyi told Long Jian directly that it's time for a boy in his teens to be sensible.Sure enough, once the old men of these families were silent, the momentum of the main combat faction would drop by half. When Xiao Xieyi talked about peace talks, the voice of opposition would be much smaller.
