Chapter 68

Recently, there was an emergency at the border. Ji Ling discussed the war with Ji Yu every day, and it was too late to return, so Hu Yuanyuan's matter was delayed again and again.

Wan'er heard from Mu Hua that Ji Yu wanted Ji Ling to send troops to help quell the invasion at the border, but Ji Ling refused, and always used the excuse that the concubine was ill and he couldn't get away, and she also declined that Zheng Sixi was too young to worry about him Lead the army alone.

"Actually, as soon as I said this, the emperor denied it. Zheng Sixi is only two years old and has battlefield experience, but the prince still declined. The excuse is that Zheng Sixi's father is busy looking for a marriage for him recently. "Mu Hua and Wan'er said.

Seeing him helpless, the people suffering the most in this war are the common people, so it is always a good thing to calm down the war as soon as possible, but the battle between the royal family can never stop, Ji Ling and Ji Yu are not as good as they appear on the surface Well, Mu Hua didn't even count as court officials, and he didn't dare to make more suggestions in front of Ji Ling, so he could only sigh and give up.

"Don't worry, the prince might have his arrangements." Wan'er saw Mu Hua's thoughts, and comforted him with a smile.

Mu Hua's hometown is at the border. It is because of the wars every year that they have lost their food and are afraid of being hit by the fish pond. His family can't bear this kind of suffering, so they took him to escape. Some were killed, some died of illness, some got separated, so he was left alone. Fortunately, he met Ji Ling, so he was very grateful to Ji Ling. After all, he was a child at that time. I met him by chance on the street, but he didn't dislike him in rags, like a little beggar, he would still lend a helping hand to him and keep him by his side to this day. This kind of favor cannot be repaid with words.

In fact, Mu Hua came to Wan'er and said so much, and wanted Wan'er to help persuade Ji Ling, but he didn't say it out, because Wan'er was kind-hearted, and might not reject him very much, but what she said, Ji Ling He may not listen, and if he is not sure, it will make him embarrass her, so it is just a matter of confiding, and after listening to Wan'er's comfort, he just smiled wryly, then shook his head and went back.

This incident actually caused waves in Wan'er's heart, but she has been hesitating whether to tell Ji Ling that Ji Ling came tonight, but Wan'er is still hesitating how to talk to him, after all, what she said is not good, Not only would it make him unhappy, but if it didn't work out, he might even misunderstand that she was helping Ji Yu, and then the matter might really be hopeless.

While stepping on the peach blossoms blown off the ground by the wind, Wan'er was in a mess and had no clue. Mu Hua's words and that helplessness always hit her heart. When should she choose and how should she speak to Ji Ling? What about it.

"Ma'am, it will be the concubine's birthday in two days, do you have any gift plans for Madam?"

Qingfeng, who accompanied Wan'er in the peach garden, suddenly asked softly.

Wan'er has been thinking about things, since she washed up in the morning, after eating a little snack, she said she was going to take a walk, and then she kept walking on the peach blossoms blown by the wind. It has been several hours, and it is almost lunch time. But he never said a word, Qingfeng, who was always good at indifference, couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he found something to tell her.

"Oh, who will come?" Wan'er was interrupted from thinking, and after waiting for a while, she slowly raised her head and asked casually.

"Almost all the ministers in the court will come, and there will be no less nobles and grandchildren. Those who are far away will ask others to give gifts. Even the emperor and empress will personally come here every year to celebrate the birthday of the concubine. Sometimes the queen dowager also comes." Qingfeng didn't think much, and returned to Wan'er in one gulp.

"Well, this is a gift." Wan'er nodded slightly after listening to Qingfeng's explanation.

With so many people here, Ji Ling already has a very good face. As his wife, it's really not good to give some things to his mother and concubine for the first time, especially those troublesome people. There must be something else to say, then Ji Ling will feel that his prince's dignity has been damaged.

"Madam, have you decided to give me anything?" Qingfeng continued to ask.

In fact, she also knew that it was too early to think about what gift to give when she had just said this, but she couldn't stand watching Wan'er keep silent, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Just talking to her a few words can stop her from being so silent, or she can find out some of the reasons why she is like this.

"Let's talk about it when the prince comes back." Wan'er replied lightly, picked a peach blossom casually, lowered her head, and fell silent again. It's messed up, so what can I say if I'm in the mood.

"Zheng is angry, the prince is unwilling to fight at the border, why don't you suggest to the prince to let you lead the army? Seeing that you are a person who likes to make great achievements, maybe you can also use this to get some military merits?"

Cheerful laughter floated in the peach garden, accompanied by some mocking words.

"Lu Jiusi, I have warned you many times, don't call me Zheng dead angry, and I don't want to be overjoyed, I was promoted by the prince, and everything is based on the prince's decision, don't say these words that slander people's reputation in front of me " Zheng Sixi followed with angry words.

Across the sparse peach trees, among the pink peach blossoms, Wan'er saw Zheng Sixi and Lu Jiusi walking towards her.

"Go, don't say that you are so noble. You can climb up and look at others from a high place. Who wants to look up at others from a low place?" Lu Jiusi disapproved of his words and sneered back with disdain.

The two were just talking, and didn't notice Wan'er and Qingfeng who were separated by a few peach trees. Of course, Jiusi's words were meant as a joke. Most of the people who received the information were admiring eyes, and not many people made him look up, but Jiusi's words made him a little angry.

"That's your Lu family. I, Zheng Sixi, always look at people at the same level. I don't look down on others, and I don't admire a person at will." Zheng Sixi replied angrily, because he was talking to Lu Jiusi, and the place here It was different, he was less vigilant, and he didn't notice that there were other people in Taoyuan Garden.

"Zheng Sixi, if you say me, just say me, don't talk about my family, has anyone else in the Lu family offended you?" Lu Jiusi immediately became angry when she heard Zheng Sixi talking about her family.

She has always been straightforward, but she is very protective of her family, which should be said to be her weakness.

"Jiusi, General Zheng? What are you doing here?" Wan'er went out to greet them in time.

This is Ji Ling's palace, and all the plants and trees around him belong to Ji Ling. Except for the people from the palace, not everyone can come here casually.
