Miaoyan had already recovered a little calm in my arms, but at this time, he saw the people outside in panic and frightened, and began to tremble again.
I thought about it, let go of her, and slowly walked to the door with her hand.
"What are you doing?"
There were two maids who were frightened and were about to run out of our door. When they heard me ask them, they all stopped and were panting: "Miss Yan..."
I frowned and said, "Stop it all!"
The people also stopped one after another and looked at me in a daze.
I asked, "Have the enemy already entered the city?"
A man said cowardly: "It's not yet."
"Has the city gate been broken?"
“No, either.”
"The enemy has not entered the city and the city gate has not been broken, but you are panicked, what is the moral of you!"
They didn't care about me at first, thinking that it was just a noble person who was following the queen. Now, seeing me suddenly feeling harsh, everyone was at a loss. One of the older servants came over carefully and said, "Miss Yan, we - we are not going to do anything, we just heard that the fight outside was very good, so -"
"I'm very good at fighting, but Is it the reason why you have no rules and run around?!"
“…”
"The Empress is still in the yard. If you startle her, can you afford to take care of her?!"
When they heard my words, they immediately became quiet. When they saw Miaoyan behind me, they looked pale and even looked a little scared, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.
After all, it was not only disturbing the queen but also disturbing His Highness the Princess, but this crime was enough for them to suffer.
Everyone was in a mess just now, and even if it was inappropriate, I didn't think anything was wrong. After all, the law did not punish the crowd. But once I stopped them, the whole courtyard became quiet, and reason seemed to have returned to myself. When everyone came to their senses, they immediately understood how rebellious their actions were. Besides, although there was a war outside, it was indeed as I said, the city gate was not broken, the enemy had not entered, and the outcome was unknown. They just clamored that if the enemy was repelled and Linfen City returned to peace, they would be all guilty of death.
For a moment, everyone became extremely frightened, fearing that some blame would really fall on them.
Seeing everyone's words and caution, I said coldly: "Everything goes down and do what you should do! If you don't know what to do, just take it quietly. Before the city is broken, you will be yourself obediently. If the city is broken... you'd better remember how to be yourself!"
Hearing my words, they looked at each other in a hurry, and they didn't dare to speak out. They all slowly retreated out.
When I turned around, I saw Miaoyan's face was not as pale as before.
Just then, Kouer came.
She also saw those people exit carefully, looked at me with a serious look, probably also understood what was going on, and walked over and said in a low voice: "Miss Yan, Your Highness, they didn't disturb you, right?"
I shook my head: "It's okay. What's wrong with it outside?"
Kou'er said, "We don't know very well, but we know that Lord Zhang seems to have taken people out of the city and said he is going to attack the enemy troops coming to invade head-on. The battlefield is not far from the city gate, and it is said that their voices can be heard in the south of the city."
It turned out that Zhang Ziyu did not intend to defend the enemy allegedly, but instead took the initiative.
This is not bad. After all, if the three armies gather together, it would be a big threat to Linfen City. Now the three teams are coming at different times. In terms of time difference, Zhang Ziyu can indeed give him a chance to defeat him.
I originally wanted to ask how the war was, but it seems that Kouer would not know.
She only told me that the city had been completely martial law since last night. Today, there was no one on the streets of Linfen City, and even the officials were not allowed to step out of the gate. Everyone locked the doors and windows.
I asked, "Where is Your Majesty the Emperor?"
"The emperor has been staying in the study."
"Then, where is the Queen, do she know?"
"The Empress was punished to think about her mistakes behind closed doors, and she stayed in the room without any movement."
"Oh... let's go and have a look."
When Kouer heard this, he immediately took us over happily and went to Chang Qing's study. I walked to the window and saw that she was still sitting there, quietly looking at a book. I don't know if it was a collection of poems or Buddhist scriptures. She was as quiet as a jade carving Guanyin. No chaos outside could alarm her hair.
Kou'er also looked at it for a while, as if she wanted to go in and accompany her, but I turned around and said softly: "Let's go."
She hesitated and looked back, and I said, "Let's go, since it's the Emperor who punished her to think about her mistakes behind closed doors, the Empress will never come out in advance. Don't bother her."
Hearing me say this, Kua'er can only nod her head gently.
Follow me back to my room, she looked at me, as if waiting for me to say or do something. I just looked down at Miaoyan: "I came to my mother's place early in the morning. Have you had breakfast?"
She shook her head.
"I didn't wash my face, either."
"No."
I smiled and shook my head, turned my head and told Kouer: "Go and get the hot water towel and green salt, and then let the kitchen prepare our meals."
Kou'er was stunned for a moment. Seeing that I was not joking at all, nor was he nervous, he also ordered as usual. I took Miaoyan to wash up, then sat down to have a meal.
There seemed to be a gust of wind coming from afar outside.
Miaoyan held a bowl of porridge and looked outside the door with wide eyes. I quietly picked up a chopstick of eggs for her and said, "Miaoyan, be fine when eating, don't look around."
When she heard this, she hurriedly lowered her head and ate her food seriously.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The maid standing on both sides saw us eating quietly. Although she didn't say anything, she looked a little surprised.
After breakfast, the morning time passed a lot. I took her to read books in the house and took a few ancient poems. At the beginning, she was a little distracted, so I didn't blame her. I just taught her to read "Watch the Sea" one by one. After reading it for a long time, she slowly began to concentrate and recite it smoothly.
As a reward, I asked the kitchen to send some snacks to her.
As soon as I ordered, the things were delivered soon. In addition to the maids who delivered the things, I could see many maids outside in the corner of my eyes, and looked inward. Sure enough, I looked at Miaoyan and I in the room without any abnormality while reciting poems and eating refreshments, looking happy.
The war was originally going to fight, and some people were panicked. The war outside was officially ignited this morning, which made everyone even more panicked. But now, everyone is watching the emperor and the queen stay in the study and read quietly. I took His Royal Highness the Princess to do her homework and have some tea, and there was no sense of crisis at all when the troops were at the city.
Even after lunch, I took Miaoyan to sleep on the couch.
Gradually, everyone seemed to feel at ease. The busy servants and maids who came and went no longer showed panic and looked almost as calm as usual.
The official office also temporarily got a little peace.
It was not until evening that the faint noise in the wind subsided.
It was time for dinner, and Pei Yuanhao came as soon as the food was ready.
I stood up and saluted him with Miaoyan. He walked in slowly. Seeing the calm and unconventional appearance of us, he looked at the food on the table again, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and then said, "It's time to have supper."
Miaoyan hurriedly said, "Does Father want to use it with us?"
Pei Yuanhao smiled and reached out to touch her hair: "Okay."
So the three of them sat down and had a meal together.
All day today, I was doing it for people outside to see it. Even Miaoyan was infected by my calm appearance and became calm. In fact, only I knew it. I was like a pot of water boiled with a lid. The outside looked calm, but the inside was already boiling.
After the maids finished cooking, Pei Yuanhao asked them to retreat and the door was closed, I asked, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang, he—"
Miaoyan held the bowl and immediately looked up at us.
Pei Yuanhao calmly picked up a piece of fish for Ah, and pointed it into her bowl with chopsticks, signaling her to have a good meal. Miaoyan hurriedly buried his head again, and then he said, "He is back."
“How is the situation?”
"The military report came up and nearly a thousand enemies were wiped out."
"Then we-"
"There were five hundred casualties."
I nodded, buried my head and took a sip of the soup.
It's a great victory.
However, I continued to ask, "Where are the people from all over the place? How many people are there?"
"It's the people from Xuchang, with 20,000 or 30,000 people."
"Only this way?"
"Today, I've only arrived this way."
“…”
I stopped talking.
Although today is a great victory, the situation is still not optimistic. I heard that there are nearly 70,000 troops coming from Xuchang. It is obvious that today this team is just an advance team. Although Zhang Ziyu wiped out a lot of enemies, it is really just a drop in the bucket for the other party.
Moreover, there are teams sent by Lin Sheng and the capital.
When the three teams are all here, Linfen will be under even greater pressure.
I wanted to ask him again what plans he had next, but when he looked up and was about to speak, he winked at me at Miaoyan. I knew that he didn't want the child to hear too much. The news just now was enough to comfort his daughter.
