Chapter 97
Zheng Yuanxiang said: "I heard that he didn't even enter the room of the two concubines, and he just spoiled that Zhu Ziting. I don't know what's so good about that woman!"

Grandma Zhang persuaded: "Fortunately, Aunt Zhu is her duty, she doesn't pick and choose, and treats you respectfully."

Zheng Yuanxiang sighed again: "If she is arrogant because of being favored, I would just kill her, which would be easy. But now that she is like this, I can't do it."

Grandma Zhang said: "In this backyard, it's not this Aunt Zhu, there will be other aunts. You are the first wife, and this title is secure. The aunts are just like this, so don't worry too much."

Zheng Yuanxiang sighed: "Look at the way the eldest son treats Zhu Ziting, his love is written on his face. Now I only have the title of a first wife."

Grandma Zhang was also speechless.

Soon it was mid-winter again, and Zhuang Yuyan was working as a director in the mansion when someone suddenly reported that it was an emergency at the border.

Zhuang Yuyan was taken aback, and asked, "Isn't there a truce at the border? Why is it urgent again?"

The person who came said: "The Qiang people were fighting among themselves. The leaders of the seven tribes united, killed Namu De, and elected another leader. Now the eight tribes have joined forces and invaded the border. Only then did the border go to the court to ask for support."

In the court hall, all the ministers were also talking about it.

Someone said: "The Qiang people have no faith, we must defeat them and teach them a lesson."

Someone said: "It's better to negotiate a peace and listen to what they want."

The emperor listened to everyone's words and remained silent.Fang Zhijie was the first to react, and said: "It's war or peace, the emperor has his own holy judgment."

As soon as everyone heard it, they immediately echoed: "The emperor is wise."

The emperor said: "Six ministers, discuss matters in the South Study Room."

After all, stand up.Huang Daban hurriedly said, "Back to court."

All the ministers saluted and withdrew.

South study.The emperor looked at Fang Zhijie: "Fang Aiqing, how much food does the court have left?"

Fang Zhijie immediately understood: "In the past two years, the grain has been ripe, and there are still about [-] catties of grain left."

The emperor said: "How much can you transfer to the border?"

Fang Zhijie immediately fell silent.

The emperor asked: "What's the matter?"

Fang Zhijie said: "Your Majesty, although there is a lot of food in storage, we can't give it all to the border. In case something happens to the court, we can't leave the food in storage."

The emperor asked: "What do you mean..."

Fang Zhijie thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to think of a way."

As soon as Fang Zhijie returned to the mansion, he sent someone to Yongle Palace.After Zhuang Yuyan heard this, she thought for a while: "Go back and tell Fang Shangshu that our Yongle Palace is willing to donate 1 taels of silver, or a thousand dans of rice."

The servant went back and reported to Fang Zhijie, Fang Zhijie also said with a smile: "This Zhuang Shizi concubine is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, so she can make friends with her."

The next day, Fang Zhijie mentioned this matter in the early court, and lamented that the Yongle Palace understands righteousness.The emperor also praised it very much.

Yong'an Palace responded immediately, and also donated 1 taels of silver and [-] dan of rice.

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw this situation, they all went home to discuss it.Especially those with harem concubines at home responded positively.Soon, enough silver and rice were raised, and all were sent to the border.

The battle at the border was stalemate, and battle reports came in every day, the outcome was uncertain, and there were often casualties.

Zhuang Yuyan was worried every day, so she sent people out to inquire about the situation of the battle every day.

On this day, a servant ran in: "Concubine Shizi, it's not good."

Zhuang Yuyan's head buzzed, she managed to calm down, and asked, "But something happened to your son?"
