The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

Chapter 163: Great Victory in the Northern Territory

"My queen! But Xiao Liuzi brought bad news?"

Seeing that Nanxiang looked a little worried, Kikuhei asked immediately.

She was the one who had been communicating with Xiao Liuzi all along, so she could hear some things from Xiao Liuzi more or less.

But Nanxiang never mentioned it, and she tactfully didn't ask.

"Nothing serious. Just a little tricky."

Nanxiang shook her head slightly, and the ripples on her brows smoothed out.

After hearing this, Kikuhei gave up the idea of ​​asking further questions.

In the letter that Xiao Liuzi sent to Nanxiang this time, a key person was mentioned, Lord Li, the Minister of the Military Department.

He is sincere and honest, a rare kind person.

However, concubines in the harem are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and it is an indisputable fact that Qin Chenyang was arrested by the military.

It would be undesirable for her to contact Lord Li. If she wanted to do this, she had to keep it secret. At least, she couldn't let anyone find out that she had any contact with him.

The most important news in the letter was that Lord Li wanted to get to the bottom of things and investigate, but in the end it came to nothing for some reasons.

However, this fact has prevented Nanxiang from running around like a headless fly and ending up with injuries.

Of course, Nanxiang didn't want to interfere in politics, she just wanted to cooperate with Lord Li.

What she was really thinking about at this moment was whether she should test Luqi's attitude, for she was afraid that she was already loyal to Concubine Huang. No matter what she said now, the other party would definitely not listen. It might even arouse Concubine Huang's attention, making all her preparations for so long go to waste.

"Forget it! Let's observe her for a while."

Nanxiang sighed softly, and immediately put the letter sent by Xiaoliuzi on the candle flame and burned it.

After all, she didn't quite understand Luqi's current personality and character, so this was too risky.

She had memorized the contents of the letter, so in order to avoid future trouble, it would be safer to burn it.

Then Nanxiang asked Kikuhei to clean up the ashes on the table.

She continued to paint on the paper roll.

……

At noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky.

The entire Northern Dynasty Palace was shrouded in the scorching sun, emitting the highest temperature since the beginning of spring in winter.

Nanxiang was sitting on the couch in the main hall of Yanxi Palace, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand and waving it gently. The wind slowly dissipated the heat from her body.

"Did Caiyun go to pick up Chen'er and Xuan'er?"

Nanxiang lay on her side and glanced at Kikuhei indifferently, without any intention of moving.

"Your Majesty! Caiyun set out half an hour ago. She should be on her way now."

Kikuhei said softly.

"Hmm! Bring me some mung bean, lily and lotus seed soup."

Nanxiang said this casually, and then she felt sleepy and closed her eyes slightly.

However, before she fell asleep, she heard two clear and pleasant children's voices.

"Mother! Chen'er is back."

"Xuan'er is back!"

Hearing the voices of the two little ones, Nanxiang immediately opened her eyes with a faint smile on her lips.

It is true that no matter what era children are in, the first thing they do when they get home is to call for their mother.

Now she has some understanding.

As soon as she sat up, she saw two little ones appear in front of her, with their big round eyes open, looking at her quietly like two round radishes.

There was a smile on his lips.

"Chen'er pays respect to mother!"

"Xuan'er pays respect to mother!"

The two kids spoke in unison.

Nanxiang pursed her lips, gently causing the dimples on her lips.

"Did I cause trouble to Master today?"

"Chen'er and the Imperial Sister are really serious. The Master also praised me and the others. He said we are smart."

Gu Yuchen raised his little head, a little proud.

Gu Jinxuan was much quieter, her eyes never leaving the mung bean, lily and lotus seed soup on the table.

The temperature has gradually risen in the past few days, and cool and delicious things are the most attractive.

Seeing this, Nanxiang quickly asked the two kids to start eating.

"Hurry up and eat the mung bean, lily and lotus seed soup. Mother prepared it especially for you."

"Thank you, mother!"

After a long time, the two little ones, who had had their fill, lay quietly on the couch covered with a mat and fell asleep.

Caiyun and Juping were fanning them.

Nanxiang was checking their homework on the side.

Although they are still young, they still have to do the basic homework. They cannot be careless when laying the foundation.

While Nanxiang was having dinner just now, she heard some news about the war between the Northern Dynasty and the Northern Territory Kingdom from the two children, but it was only a few words.

I heard that a remarkable figure had emerged in the military, leading the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty to victory after victory, causing the kingdoms in the Northern Territory to be defeated one after another and even give up some of their territory.

After hearing this, Nanxiang became interested, so she asked the two little ones some questions indirectly.

But the two little ones don’t know much.

News of this war reached Emperor Gu Junshen two days ago, and the entire Northern Dynasty should know about it by now.

The young master must have been in a good mood, so he told the two children about the war as a short story in class.

The two children had loved listening to stories since they were young under the influence of Nanxiang, so they listened to this war story.

But things like war were boring to listen to, so the two kids didn’t hear much.

If this war did not involve the military and had something to do with Qin Chenyang, Nanxiang's current troublesome person, she would definitely not inquire about such news.

After a while, the small notebook brought news about the war in the Northern Territory.

After listening for a while, Nanxiang had already made up her mind.

It turned out that the army had a military strategist with excellent military tactics. He set several traps and lured the enemy into them. Then he caught the enemy off guard and won a great victory in the war in the Northern Territory.

It seems that since the last time the military department was reminded by Gu Junshen, in order to restore its image in Gu Junshen's mind, it has made reforms and absorbed many talented people, just to win the battle in the Northern Territory.

She thought that Gu Junshen should be very happy now, after all, the war that had troubled him for many days finally ended in a great victory.

However, this matter had nothing to do with the information she wanted to know, and she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"It seems the time has not come yet!"

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

At this time, Gu Junshen's deep and loud laughter was heard in the hall, echoing in the inner hall.

This made the eunuchs outside feel confused.

Liu Sheng had heard some of the details a long time ago, so he became much calmer after hearing the laughter.

The moment the laughter stopped, he immediately walked into the inner hall and loudly congratulated Gu Junshen.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Under Your Majesty's wise command, the war in the Northern Territory has been won!"

Gu Junshen raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Sheng, then smiled and said, "Reward! I'll give you half a year's salary!"

Liu Sheng was immediately delighted after hearing this and hurriedly thanked Gu Junshen.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"

Then, Gu Junshen calmly picked up a yellow roll of memorials on the table.

After checking for a while, he couldn't help but frowned deeply.

"Is this Northern Territory Anguo actually asking for peace like this?"
