Chapter 683 Scared

After Yuchen had dinner, he took the maidservant for a walk in the garden. In the courtyard, Yuchen met two sisters from the Yu family.

The two saluted Yuchen, and Dayu smiled and said, "Sister also came for a walk? That's right, the prince has been staying at Mrs. Xiang's place recently, and my sister is free." This sentence is naked sarcasm .

Yuchen didn't seem to understand the meaning of Dayu's words, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xiang is clever and lovely, and it's normal to be liked by the prince." No matter how much Yan Wushuang dotes on Mrs. Xiang, that woman can't threaten her status.

Dayu's face was a little ugly: "I hope my sister can always be so magnanimous." If you want to say that the person who is most jealous of Mrs. Xiang's favor is Dayu's.

Yuchen smiled and said, "Naturally." It's not that Yuchen doesn't have water chestnuts, it's just that they rarely show them.

At night, Yuchen scattered her black hair. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Yuchen touched his face and said, "Nurse, do you think I am old?" It would be a lie to say that Yan Wushuang dotes on Mrs. Xiang and doesn't care at all.

Nanny Gui took the ivory comb and walked forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is getting old, she is still the same as before, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off."

Yuchen laughed, and said: "Thirty people, how can I compare with when I was sixteen or seventeen." After finishing speaking, Yuchen showed bitterness, and said: "I don't know if it's because of my age. , I always think about the past, especially when I was a child in the Duke's Mansion. Last night I dreamed about my grandmother!" The ten years in the Duke's Mansion were the happiest days of her life.

Nanny Gui paused her hands, and quickly said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what did the old lady dream about?"

Yuchen shook his head and said, "I don't remember, but grandma is still so loving." After speaking, Yuchen said with some melancholy: "When grandma was alive, I couldn't be filial to her." This is what she regrets the most thing.

Nanny Gui comforted: "At that time, the empress was involuntary. The old lady loves the empress so much, she will definitely not blame her." A woman married into the royal family can go home wherever she wants. Not to mention that Concubine Song was still staring at her master like black corns at that time! At that time, there was no room for error.

Yuchen sighed faintly and said: "Grandmother's greatest wish is to revitalize the Han family and bring the Han family back to their former glory. It's a pity that grandma didn't see the Han family prosper until she died."

Nanny Gui said: "Your Majesty, don't think so much."

Yuchen couldn't help thinking: "Big brother and second brother are doing well in the Northwest, and the Han family is also one of the best in the Northwest. Grandma's wish, big brother is half done." Han Jianming was a rebel to the imperial court, and secondly, Yuxi was only entrenched in the northwest area.

Nanny Gui thought for a moment and said, "Now Shanxi, Henan, Hubei and other places are at war. Once their defense line is breached, the northwest will be lost." When the northwest fell, Yunqing and Han Yuxi's lives would be in jeopardy. The future still depends on Sanfang.

Yuchen shook his head slightly and said: "It's not that easy. Yu Baojia and the prince are not of the same mind at all. It is a dream to capture several provinces in Shanxi just by relying on the 200,000 troops sent by the imperial court." After a pause, Yuchen said : "And once we lose the battle ahead and allow Yunqing to occupy Jiangnan, the capital will be in danger." Once they occupy Jiangnan, Yuxi's next goal will be the capital.

Nanny Gui's heart was shocked, and she quickly regained her composure and said, "Your Majesty, worry too much. The military power in the south of the Yangtze River is in Baojia's hands. Even if it is lost, it has nothing to do with the prince. But the general soldiers in Hebei and Shandong are the prince's confidantes. With the prince's ability, it is wishful thinking for Yunqing to break into the capital." Nanny Gui is still very confident about Yan Wushuang.

It's not that Yuchen doesn't believe in Yan Wushuang, it's just that many things are not as people think.

Yuchen sighed and said: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Back then, who would have predicted that Yuxi and Yunqing would have what they are today?" The prince did not pay attention to Yunqing before, but Now Yunqing is standing shoulder to shoulder with his own prince. Therefore, no one can guarantee what the future will look like.

At this moment, a crisp voice sounded from outside: "Mother, why bother to spoil your prestige with other people's ambition." After speaking, Abao came to Yuchen's side like a gust of wind.

Yuchen frowned and said, "How many times have I told you that a girl's house should look like a girl's house."

Ah Bao sat on the chair, put the whip on the table beside him and said, "Mother, if everything is done according to the rules, it will be very tiring." In fact, Ah Bao has learned the rules very well. Compared with Zao Zao, then Absolutely one day at a time.

Yuchen knew that it was useless to say more, so he ordered the maid to prepare water. Ah Bao went to practice this afternoon and was sweating all over, so he must wash off well.

A Bao leaned on the chair and said: "Mom, you can't say such depressing words in the future, Dad will be unhappy when he hears it." Although A Bao is a bit arrogant, he is very smart and knows how to please Yan Wushuang.

Yuchen hummed and said, "Got it." Yuchen was defenseless against Abao, so she didn't know that Abao walked into the room. But Yan Wushuang was different, not to mention that every time Yan Wushuang came to the servant girl, she would tell her, even if no one told her, she could still hear Yan Wushuang's footsteps.

Abao thought for a while but couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Mother, what kind of person is Han Yuxi?" Because Yuxi was a traitor to the court, so Abao called her name and no one picked her. wrong.

Yuchen was a little surprised, and asked, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Abao said: "Many people say she is very powerful, I just want to know how powerful she is. Mom, you grew up with her, no one knows her better than you? Tell me about her about it?"

Yuchen shook her head and said: "When she was young, she liked reading books and was good at embroidery, and she was not outstanding at all." Among the ladies in the capital, Yuxi can only be regarded as upper-middle-class in terms of appearance and talent, and cannot be a top-notch task.

Abao looked disbelieving: "Really?"

Yuchen sighed quietly and said, "What did your mother lie to you for? In fact, not only your mother, but even your great-grandmother don't know that your fourth aunt is so secretive."

A Bao pouted and said, "Mother, she is a traitor, and even our enemy, how can she still be called Fourth Aunt?" Calling her by her first name is already respecting her.

Yuchen was silent for a while and said: "No matter what, she is mother's biological sister, and this can never be changed."

Abao shrugged and said: "It's mother's business what mother thinks, anyway, I won't recognize this fourth aunt." These thoughts were instilled by Yan Wushuang, and Yuchen couldn't correct them.

At this moment, there was a sound of sonorous footsteps outside. Yuchen was a little surprised, but he quickly stood up and bowed to the person who came in: "My lord."

Yan Wushuang nodded, and said to Abao: "Don't practice so late in the future." He will not raise his daughter into a manly wife like Yunqing. Yan Wushuang asked A Bao to practice martial arts because she thought that she could protect herself with martial arts, but she didn't want her to lead troops to fight in the future.

Ah Bao hugged Yan Wushuang's arm and smiled coquettishly: "Father, I forgot the time today, and I won't next time."

Yan Wushuang said: "I have already told Master Rong that I can no longer teach when the time comes." It means that even if Abao wants to extend the time next time, he can't.

Ah Bao muttered, "Understood [UU Reading 00ks]."

Shi Xiang walked in lightly and said: "My lord, empress, princess, the water is ready." Ah Bao is very particular about taking a bath with fresh petals, but what Ah Bao likes most is to use rose petals. If not, Jasmine and Chrysanthemum can barely make do. Fortunately, there is a large greenhouse in the palace, which can supply A Bao's needs. But this expense alone is not a small sum.

Abao let go of Yan Wushuang's hand and said, "Father, mother, I'm going to take a bath." She didn't go out until Yan Wushuang nodded.

Yuchen asked with concern: "Your Majesty, your complexion is so bad, is it because you are not feeling well?"

It's strange to be comfortable, these days Yan Wushuang has been thinking about what is the purpose of Yunqing leading the troops to Lanyang? But no matter how I think about it, I can't figure it out. Feeling irritable, he walked to Yuchen's side as he walked.

Yan Wushuang said: "There have been too many things recently, and I'm a little tired." Thinking about it made her brain go crazy, and she didn't have a clue.

Yuchen didn't ask too much, because Yan Wushuang wouldn't say too much, "Why don't the concubines play a song for the prince?"

In these years, apart from serving Yan Wushuang and taking care of the two children, Yuchen's other thoughts are all on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Up to now, her attainments in piano art have reached the level of a master.

Yuchen played the famous song "Yangchun Baixue". As long as she plays the piano, Yuchen will devote herself wholeheartedly, and when she finishes playing a piece, she finds that Yan Wushuang has fallen asleep.

Yuchen didn't wake him up either, but took a blanket and put it on him. But Yan Wushuang was very alert, and woke up before Yuchen approached.

Looking at the murderous look in Yan Wushuang's eyes, at that moment Yuchen really felt that Yan Wushuang was going to kill her first.

When Yan Wushuang got up, he realized that his reaction was a bit too much, and said with a cold face: "You should rest earlier!" After speaking, without looking back, he walked out with big strides.

Seeing that Yuchen was motionless, Nanny Gui hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Yuchen was so frightened that he froze just now, and when he came back to his senses, he said to Nanny Gui: "Prepare water."

Nanny Gui was stunned, and said, "Your Majesty, you have already bathed just now."

Yuchen's voice softened a lot: "Go and get some water!" She couldn't tell Nanny Gui that she was covered in cold sweat just now and couldn't sleep without taking a bath.

That night, Yuchen had a nightmare, dreaming that he was strangled to death by Yan Wushuang. When he woke up, Yuchen's forehead was covered with sweat.

Seeing Yuchen sitting on the bed in a daze, Nanny Gui said with some concern: "Ma'am, it's just a nightmare. Dreams are the opposite of reality."

Yuchen hummed and said, "I hope!" That's what he said, but Yuchen couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Compared to Yuchen's ease and ease, Yuxi wished there were twenty-four hours a day. Every time there is a war, everyone in the rear has to be very busy.

Xu Wu walked into the study, lowered his voice and said to Yu Xi: "Princess, Cui Mo has already passed Yuanzhou."

Yu Xi nodded and asked, "No one noticed, right?"

Xu Wu said: "The routes they take are all pre-planned by Yunqing and will not be leaked."

Yuxi said: "You can't take it lightly, you must keep an eye on those details, and solve it immediately if there is something wrong." Once the news leaks out, Yunqing's plan will not succeed, and this time the troops may come back in vain.

Xu Wu said: "Princess, don't worry, our people will never relax for a moment." Before things fail, no one dares to take it lightly.

Every time there is a war, many checkpoints will be set up, and the road to the capital will also be blocked. Because this time, as usual, Yan Wushuang's suspicion has not been aroused so far.

Yu Xi hummed and said: "According to the time, the prince should attack Caozhou in the next two days." Attacking Caozhou is only the first step, and the next step is the key.

Xu Wu nodded and said, "It should be in these two days."

Outside, Xu Daniu raised his voice and said, "Princess, Master Meng, please see me." Because it is the time of war, the stability of the rear is the top priority. Therefore, Meng Fangjun also frequented Pingxi Palace these days.

When Xu Wu went out, he looked at Yu Xi and said, "Princess, you have to take care of yourself." It was also because he saw the blood in Yu Xi's eyes that he said that.

Having been with Xu Wu for so many years, Yu Xi also treats him as one of his own. Yuxi shook her head and said: "I've been worrying about it these days, I can't sleep well." In fact, Yuxi has three hours of sleep time every night, and a three-quarter hour nap at noon, which is enough time for normal people. But after Yuxi knew Yunqing's plan, she had been worrying for the past few days, which led to poor sleep.

Xu Wu has been with Yuxi for so many years, and he also knows that Yuxi is worried about the plan set by Yunqing. Xu Wu said: "Princess, we will definitely succeed." He would not say words of frustration, because it is unlucky.

Yuxi shook her head and smiled wryly: "It doesn't mean that I don't worry, I don't worry. After all, I can't bear it." The main reason is that Yunqing's plan is too risky, and once it fails, it will affect the entire battle situation. Of course, if the plan is successful, they will get twice the result with half the effort to attack Jiangnan.

Xu Wu laughed: "My concubine is too self-effacing." In this world, Xu Wu felt that there was no woman with a stronger tolerance than Yuxi.

This day, Yuxi was too busy to go back until very late. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a person lying on the bed.

Walking to the bed, Yu Xi asked: "You girl, why did you come to Mother's bed?" Since Zao Zao moved out, she never went back to the main courtyard to sleep.

Zao Zao opened her eyes and said, "Mom, you are so amazing that you know I'm not asleep?" After speaking, she sat up.

Yuxi smiled and said: "What kind of mother are you, still don't know." Zaozao is too tired to practice every day, so she snores when she sleeps at night, but the sound is not loud.

Zao Zao said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from mother. Mother, Uncle Xu said that you are worried that your father will not sleep well these days. Mother, I will sleep with you at night from now on, so you can sleep well .”

Naturally, Yuxi would not refuse her daughter's filial piety. It's just that what Yuxi didn't expect was that maybe it was the child's side that reassured her, so she fell asleep really quickly that night. And still sleep until the end of the next day.

Opening her eyes, looking at the empty space beside her, Yu Xi asked, "Where is the princess?"

Mei Lan said with a smile: "The princess got up to practice before dawn." Yuxi slept well, and she was happy watching.

From this day on, Zao Zao came to sleep in the main courtyard every night. Yuxi's sleep afterwards also returned to normal. (to be continued)
