Chapter 3603 Wives and Concubines
The Guanlong rebels once again increased their troops, and the fighting in the Taiji Palace gradually escalated. The two sides fought to the death around every palace and tower, fighting for every inch of land and fighting to the death. A small half of the Taiji Palace was reduced to scorched earth, and the rebels poured in from Chengtianmen. , and Donggong Liu led a deadly battle around Taiji Hall for a whole day and night, and the battle was fierce.
However, although the rebels once again increased their troops, the exhausted and exhausted Donggong Sixth Army received the support of Youtun Guards. Three thousand elite soldiers entered Taiji Palace from Xuanwu Gate, and Cheng Chubi, who stood guard on the front line of Taiji Hall and Liangyi Hall, The troops changed their defenses, and Cheng Chubi's troops withdrew from Taiji Palace and went to the Youtunwei camp for repairs.
The addition of new forces increased Donggong Liu's combat power, and they refused to retreat after losing the Taiji Palace. The battle situation once again fell into anxiety.
However, the situation of the war has been completely reversed. Although the Guanlong army has a large number of people, the Youtunwei and Anxi army are elites in hundreds of battles. The combat power of the Guanlong army against the ragtag army is much greater. The only thing the Guanlong army can rely on is With the numerical advantage, since the imperial city was conquered, every step forward has been taken at the cost of human lives.
But how long can an army that only has family self-interest in its eyes and no faith support be able to persist in the face of increasing battle losses?
After Fang Jun led his troops back to reinforce and arrived outside the Xuanwu Gate, the Xuanwu Gate, which could only be defended impregnably by half of the Youtun Guards, became even stronger, and it was almost impossible for Guanlong's army to capture the Xuanwu Gate. If the East Palace makes up its mind to drag out the war, it only needs to defend the Xuanwu Gate and mobilize a large number of soldiers into the Taiji Palace to fight fiercely with the Guanlong army to defend the palace city. It will be difficult for the Guanlong army to gain a local advantage, even if they have more troops.
There are more and more opinions inside and outside Chang'an that the East Palace is about to turn defeat into victory.
*****
Hundreds of private soldiers with helmets on their heads and armor on their waists and swords on their waists patrolled back and forth around more than a dozen tents, forming a "camp within a camp", surrounded by a series of military camps on the right.
In the tent, Princess Gaoyang washed herself under the service of the maid, and changed into a set of black palace clothes. Her skin was whiter than snow, and she was exquisite and pretty. However, her expression was weak. When she sat on the couch, she wore a white Covering the small mouth of the cherry with her delicate hand, she yawned.
The whole person is lazy and delicate, exuding an elegant style.
Wu Meiniang and Jin Shengman had breakfast, entered the tent one after another, and sat on the chairs beside them. Their eyes looked up and down at Princess Gaoyang with great interest. Hong, I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart when I saw Yu's pitiful face.
It is a beautiful talent, but now it has been moistened by wind and rain, and it has a completely different style, which is breathtaking...
Princess Gaoyang, who was suffering from severe lack of sleep and was feeling unbearable, held her sore waist and cursed in her mind that the scoundrel was shameless and had to make those weird postures, which made her feel like she had lost bones... Suddenly she felt something abnormal, and her eyes Opening your eyes wide, you met two pairs of meaningful and envious eyes...
"What are you looking at? It's weird."
Princess Gao Yang blushed, took back the hand that was massaging her waist, and glared at the two of them, not saying anything nice or angry.
Wu Meiniang blinked and said softly: "It is the twelfth lunar month of winter. Your Highness should keep warm at night and never step on the quilt. Otherwise, you will catch the cold and be caught by the wind and be unable to sleep from tossing back and forth in the middle of the night. This is no joke." br>
Jin Shengman never dared to say such words, but he just couldn't help it and covered his lips and smiled.
Princess Gao Yang blushed even more and glared at Wu Meiniang fiercely. She looked around and said, "It's snowing heavily today and the weather is getting colder. I'll find some fox furs later and send someone to the army to deliver them to Lang Jun. Return them." Yes, Lang Jun came back from the Western Regions. He was lightly dressed and ate very little food. He must not have brought any tea. Drinking was not allowed in the army, so he could send some good tea to General Gao Kan. "
Wu Meiniang hurriedly agreed and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have prepared my body. I just wanted to wait until the husband comes back in the evening. Since Your Highness is concerned, I will send someone to send it over later."
"Haha,"
Princess Gaoyang caught the clue, sneered, and said sarcastically: "Oh, look at this ability to know how cold it is and how hot it is. All eyes are on your husband. I'm afraid he didn't sleep a wink last night, right? If I had known this. , I should call you over and wait on you.”
Wu Meiniang couldn't resist these words, her face turned red and she didn't dare to say any more.
After all, this kind of thing has been done more than once before. If Princess Gaoyang talks about it regardless of anything, even if there is only Jin Shengman in front of her, it will be embarrassing enough.
His Highness went crazy, and his reckless energy gave even Wu Meiniang a headache...
I can only apologize: "You are a princess and a lady in charge of the house. Why do you have to worry about it with a concubine like us? It's all my fault. I don't dare to do it anymore."
Princess Gaoyang snorted and raised her delicate chin slightly: "Of all the concubines in the world, which one has your status in our family? There are countless women inside and outside Chang'an City who are so envious. It’s all red, don’t be dissatisfied.”
But as she said, Wu Meiniang's status in the family is really not comparable to that of ordinary concubines. Even she relies on her and obeys her words, so she won't beat too much, and she can't beat him...
Turning to look at Jin Shengman, he said warmly: "This time Langjun returns to Beijing and has a heavy responsibility, so he will not be able to stay in the camp for long. When Langjun comes back tonight, I will ask him to go to your residence. You must serve him well." Keep on working hard and strive to give birth to Lin'er and make the Fang family flourish."
Jin Shengman didn't expect that the topic would suddenly turn to him. He was at a loss and blushed: "Huh? I, I, I..."
"What's there to be ashamed of?"
Princess Gaoyang frowned slightly and scolded softly: "It is the duty of a daughter's family to have children. Our greatest responsibility is to raise the children for our husband and to expand the branches of the Fang family. Otherwise, what will happen to this huge family business in the future?" Pass it on? It is said that the husband has returned after a long journey, and we women should serve him with all our heart and try our best to please him. If he were left in another house, I am afraid that you would not be able to bear the rain and dew. "
After all, Jin Shengman had not been married for a long time. Although she knew that Princess Gaoyang was right, she still couldn't bear such harsh words.
But the truth is correct. The head wives of other families will go to great lengths to guard against concubines. If the male master stays in the house for a few more days, he will beat and oppress him in various ways, and even threaten his status. , the abortion pill Hedinghong takes turns to be used, concubines in wealthy families are almost the same as livestock, and violent deaths are common...
Princess Gaoyang, who not only does not guard against persecution, but also tells you to serve your husband well and get pregnant and have children as soon as possible, is simply rare.
Jin Shengman was not ungrateful. He nodded with a blushing face: "If I know this, I will definitely serve you well and help the Fang family...as soon as possible."
Princess Gaoyang said happily: "That's right! Our daughter's family is dependent on men, so we should do our best to do our own things. We should not let men worry about the affairs of the back house, so that we can devote ourselves to national affairs and make contributions. I am magnanimous and will never Meeting and next to People are so wary of you and cruelly persecute you, just for the sake of the prosperity of your family and everything. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts and work with me to serve your husband, so that your family will be prosperous and harmonious. "< br>
These words were truly sincere. She had always been impatient with those intrigues and jealousies. Since God favored marrying the man she loved, her wish was fulfilled. She didn't care at all whether the man would sleep with flowers and flirt with flowers outside.
As for men, it is their nature to be drunk, lustful and wealthy. As long as they have the ability to make women throw themselves into their arms, why not?
As for the wives and concubines at home, she was too lazy to be jealous. As long as they stayed calm and didn't cause any trouble, she wouldn't even look at them twice. With her status as a golden princess, no matter how much the husband dotes on someone, can he still climb over her head?
As long as her position as the head wife is stable, no one will dare to make trouble. She is not a vegetarian...
Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "We are lucky to have a sister like Your Highness, so we should naturally be content."
With her high and arrogant heart, she would naturally feel resentful when she was reduced to a concubine. However, while she was grateful for Princess Gaoyang's generosity, she also recognized and admired her very much. Putting herself in her shoes, she didn't think she could be so magnanimous...
Everyone has a destiny. Now that she has met a husband who is worthy of her deep love and has such a majestic wife, she has already appointed her, and she will not be unwilling to be lonely and make the family unhappy.
The three women were sitting together, drinking tea and chatting about private matters in the inner house, but the topic inevitably turned to the husband's "playing with women"... (End of Chapter)
