Adore Trick of Beauty

At the end of the first year of Yingguo's Wude year, the emperor issued a letter asking Qi to join him in attacking Qin. Qi readily agreed and sent 50,000 troops from the northwest across the Lingshan Mountains to attack the north of Qinjing. Yelutu was attacked from both sides and suffered terribly. The cold ground was freezing, and there was a shortage of supplies in the Qin capital city, which caused many people to freeze to death and suffer frostbite. The city was filled with mourning, and many people risked their lives to escape from the capital and did not want to die for the country and the city together with Yelutu. The morale of the Qin army began to collapse. Yelutu was furious and killed many generals and soldiers who retreated or wanted to surrender to the enemy.

The destruction of Qin Jing is just around the corner.

…

When Xiao Fengming received the battle report, he wiped away the gloom in his heart for the past few days and smiled happily. Nie Wushuang looked at the smile in his eyes, but felt something different in her heart. Because the news she heard amid the turmoil at the end of the year was lagging behind, but it was still recent - Gu Qinghong resigned from office and returned home to recuperate.

Resign? A faint sneer flashed through her heart: Wasn't it just for his bright future that Gu Qinghong tried every possible means to bring down her father Nie Weicheng?

Gu Qinghong, Gu Qinghong, when you framed my father for being unfaithful and unjust, was it really not for your glory and wealth, but for your blood feud?

Nie Wushuang felt a twinge in her heart when she thought of Gu Qinghong's secret that Xiao Fengqing had told her that day. What kind of hatred made him endure it for so many years, and he couldn't change his mind even after being married for three years?

Nie Wushuang's thoughts surged in his heart and he could not calm down. The past cannot be pursued, and no matter what kind of hidden secrets Gu Qinghong has, it is the same to her - it can only be washed away with blood.

It's just that seeing how Gu Qinghong has ended up like this despite his dedication to serving the country, I'm afraid there may be another hidden reason behind his resignation at this time. Maybe she was right. Gu Qinghong's achievements were so great that the Emperor of Qi was afraid of the military power in his hands. Now he is not dead, but his reputation in Qi State is too high. The Emperor of Qi was afraid that killing him would chill the hearts of his ministers.

Gu Qinghong... Nie Wushuang was stunned. It turned out that he had already had such a difficult life before she took revenge on him.

Does the sky really have a pair of invisible hands arranging it in the dark?

…

The battle ahead is about to be won, and Ying Guo's rear is already bustling with preparations for the New Year. The queen of Yingguo's harem presided over the overall situation and held two or three state banquets and palace banquets in a row. It's grand in scale and enjoyable. This time, the Queen specially ordered Nie Wushuang to assist. Now that Nie Wushuang is the imperial concubine, her status is different from before, so there is nothing wrong with the Queen's move. It's just that Nie Wushuang didn't care about the trivial matters in the palace, so he simply dragged Concubine Jing along. Concubine Jing is mature, and Nie Wushuang is very knowledgeable. One of them is smart, the other is familiar with affairs, and they complement each other very well when doing the things assigned by the queen.

Concubine Shu didn't have much leisure time this year. She didn't seem to be in a hurry and just took the second prince to leisurely time every day. On the other hand, the queen was very busy, so she seemed to be watching with a cold eye.

This year, except for sending troops to attack Qin, there were no major events in Ying's country. After two years of good weather and good harvests in various places, Xiao Fengming's benevolent policy of light corvee and light taxation was very popular among the people and was also a policy that nourished the people. The people have food to eat and clothes to wear, so Yingjingzhong is already full of New Year spirit even before the New Year arrives.

When Nie Wushuang was idle in the palace, she thought of her elder brother who was away in a foreign country. Taking advantage of the upcoming Chinese New Year, she invited Zhan Ying into the palace to accompany her several times. Zhan Ying is now the mistress of the Nie Mansion. Although she is young, she is kind-hearted and fair, and is deeply loved by the servants of the Nie Mansion.

Nie Wushuang felt relieved when he saw that she was more stable and generous than when she was a girl.

In the Nuan Pavilion, the aunt and sister-in-law were sewing winter clothes. Nie Wushuang watched her effortlessly move the needle and said with a smile: "Brother is so lucky to have married such a virtuous woman as my sister-in-law, who is so proficient in female work."

Zhan Ying's face turned slightly red when she heard this: "Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me."

Nie Wushuang looked at the men's embroidery pattern in her hands and asked curiously: "Is sister-in-law sewing clothes for eldest brother?"

Zhan Ying raised her eyes shyly and responded in a low voice: "Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I want to sew... a new dress for him, but I don't know if it will fit."

Nie Wushuang looked at the exquisite patterns and thought: "Sister-in-law, please teach me. I also want to sew one for the emperor."

Zhan Ying was in a dilemma: "But I'm afraid it will be too late depending on the time. How about your Majesty sewing a jacket for the Emperor? It would be simple and quick."

Nie Wushuang suddenly remembered that she had sewed men's clothes in the past, but her thoughts at that time were now ruined...

She suddenly lost interest, lowered her long thick eyelashes, and said calmly: "That's all, the Emperor's clothes are all taken care of by the clothes bureau, I... don't worry about it anymore."

Zhan Ying saw that she was in high spirits just now, but now she had a sad look in her beautiful eyes. She didn't know what was going on for a while, so she quickly changed the topic and talked about something else.

Nie Wushuang saw her talking about his eldest brother and wanted to find out interesting stories about the two of them. Zhan Ying hesitated, lowered her head as she talked, and in the end she turned away, not daring to look into Nie Wushuang's searching eyes.

Seeing how shy she was, Nie Wushuang smiled and joked: "We've already had weddings, why are you still so shy?"

Zhan Ying's eyes darkened, and she tried to change the topic with a forced smile, but Nie Wushuang caught something wrong in her eyes.

Nie Wushuang was so smart, his face darkened slightly, and he shook her hand: "Did brother... haven't touched you yet?"

When Zhan Ying heard this, she panicked and quickly knelt down and said: "I am my concubine... my concubine... my concubine, my concubine is not good..."

Looking at her appearance, Nie Wushuang knew that he had guessed correctly, and felt a sense of sourness in his heart. After a long time, she said: "It's not that you're wrong, it's that I'm wrong."

When Zhan Ying saw that she was hurting herself, she quickly said: "Your Majesty, please don't do this. It's all my fault for not being like this."

To please General Nie. He...he said...he was afraid of delaying me, but I didn't care. When will General Nie understand my concubine’s feelings..."

Nie Wushuang looked at her stammering, feeling even more bitter in her heart. She helped Zhan Ying up, feeling extremely guilty: "Miss Zhanjia... what do you think?"

Zhan Ying's eyes flashed with determination: "I, my concubine, can wait!"

"Wait?" Nie Wushuang asked.

"I can wait until General Nie understands. The more he thinks about me, the more I feel that he is not only loyal and patriotic, but also a considerate and good husband. Isn't that what a woman wants to live with in her life?" Zhan Ying There was no shyness in his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"So I can wait until General Nie accepts me." Zhan Ying said.

Nie Wushuang looked at the determination in her eyes and felt his heart become heavier. If you wait until a man who doesn't like you comes back, then you'll be lucky. What if you can't wait...

She sighed and said nothing.

…

After Zhan Ying left, Nie Wushuang was unhappy. Sometimes I thought of my own sadness, and sometimes I thought of Zhan Ying's sad eyes... In a daze, I lay down on the beauty's bed and fell asleep.

She had been busy for a few days, and now she was depressed. After sleeping for a while, she began to dream. It was strange and bizarre. She couldn't tell what the dream was, but it was also unsettling.

I don't know how long it took, but someone seemed to lift the curtain and walk slowly over. A familiar aroma came to her, and she tried her best to wake up from her sleep. Sure enough, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Fengming's gentle smile. He still carried the cold air outside, and his eyebrows were burnt by the charcoal fire in the house, and the snow melted into Qingjun's face. On the face, the features are even clearer.

"Why don't you go to sleep on the bed?" He tucked her quilt and asked warmly.

Nie Wushuang's heart was heavy, and he responded vaguely, stood up and buried himself in his arms: "Why is the emperor here?"

In the past few days, he was busy with the government affairs at the end of the year and had no time to come and see her.

Xiao Fengming pushed her away, put her back into the quilt, frowned and said, "Don't hug me, I'm wet and cold."

Nie Wushuang remained silent and stubbornly hugged his waist again, breathing heavily: "Your Majesty, let me hold him for a while."

When Xiao Fengming saw the look on her brows, she stopped moving away and asked, "Why are you unhappy? Didn't Mrs. Nie come in to stay with you this afternoon? Are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I'll call the imperial doctor."

Nie Wushuang shook his head, buried his head in his arms, and told Xiao Fengming what he had guessed today. Finally, he blamed himself: "It seems that I made a mistake. After all the hard work, I always thought that my eldest brother would like the second son of the Zhan family." Miss, but..."

There were tears in her eyes as she spoke. From the completion of Nie's mansion to the final marriage of the two of them, what was the matter that she did not personally take care of and handle? Now I actually know that the eldest brother has not yet accepted the second daughter of the Zhan family. Then wouldn't all her worries be in vain?

The more Nie Wushuang thought about it, the sadder he became. Xiao Fengming was silent for a while and then said with a smile: "Isn't there a saying, a couple fights at the end of the bed and ends at the end of the bed. In a few days, your eldest brother will definitely know how good the second daughter of the Zhan family is. Besides, I think the second daughter of the Zhan family is a good character. Your eldest brother is a sensible man and will definitely not let her down."

Nie Wushuang knew that he was just comforting him, but he sounded much more comfortable. She raised her head from his arms and asked hesitantly: "Is it true that love lasts for a long time?"
