The unhappy envoy talks ended. When Gongsun Xiu thought of Cao Shuang leading the Wei army to come, he was very upset and returned to the harem alone.

The dried fish is over one year old now. She has learned to walk first, but her body is not steadily shaking left and right. She speaks happily, and with the personal care of three maids, she happily walks towards Gongsun Xiu.

He smiled on his face, squatted down, opened his arms, hugged his son in his arms, and smiled, "Little guy, he looks a lot older recently."

The father and son laughed for a while. Gongsun Ba seemed to be a naughty master. He grabbed his hair and grabbed his face. His little hands were acting erratic, smiling to the point of no nose or eyes, and he looked very happy.

Gongsun Xiu held his son with both hands and leaned his head back desperately. The little guy scratched his neck with his hands and smiled angrily: "Okay, what's so great? He bullied his father's head. You have to pay attention to the nails of the prince's hands. If it's too long, remember to trim him on time. It's okay to scratch the lonely one, because he's afraid that the prince will scratch his cheek."

The maid covered her mouth and chuckled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, my husband, I will take care of you every day and dare not make any mistakes. The prince's nails were cut to the flesh to prevent him from scratching."

Wang Zhu and Liu Qing walked out of the rockery and spoke on the bridge. Suddenly, they saw Gongsun Xiu, and they all looked happy.

"How come the two beloved concubines are so happy today?"

Gongsun Xiu smiled and handed his son to the maid to take care of him. He went up and hugged Wang Zhu with his right hand, hugged Liu Qing with his left hand, and hugged the two girls tightly into his arms.

The maid left silently with His Royal Highness the Prince, and was very tactful and did not disturb the Prince of Yan's elegant pleasure.

Both Wang and Liu were a little shy. Although one was a mother and the other was more than a month pregnant, they were both shy and embarrassed in such a public hug and intimate manner.

Gongsun Xiu smiled and said with a smile: "What's wrong with me? Have you seen that they have all gone out?"

Wang Zhu said in a senile voice: "What kind of morality does the maid in the palace see?"

Liu Qing smiled and said, "Why did the king come to the palace so early today? I'm afraid it wasn't for the princess?"

Gongsun Xiu joked: "Oh, this is a bad thing. The two beloved concubines are in the world. They are alone here to find you and you are relieved. It is better to go together..."

What to say later is self-evident. Wang Zhu was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He reached out to pinch his waist. Liu Qingxia flew her cheeks, her face was so red that she was about to drip bleeding, and she whispered: "Is this too ridiculous, right?"

The three of them laughed and joking for a while. Liu Qing could see that although Gongsun Xiu was smiling happily, he frowned faintly between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he had something in his heart and did not want to reveal it. He whispered: "Your Majesty may as well say it out if you have any worries, so that I can share your worries."

Gongsun Xiu forced a smile: "I shouldn't have told you, but this matter cannot be hidden. At the latest next year, Cao Shuang will lead the Wei army to attack Dayan, and his troops will be no less than 100,000."

The two girls looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

Wang Zhu frowned and said, "The difference in strength is too great. Even if the king spreads the whole country, he may only have 50,000 infantry and cavalry."

Liu Qing had read many military books and said softly: "It's not just a matter of the number of soldiers and horses. Not only did the big Yan soldiers and horses be scarce, but Wei only used some soldiers and horses. No one knew how long this battle would take. If it delayed for a long time, one would rise and the other would grow, and the big Yan would be consumed."

Gongsun Xiu looked at Liu Qing with praise and nodded, "You are saying it is quite reasonable. Once the battle begins, it will be difficult to stop. If Cao Shuang insists on destroying Yan and Gu will not give up resistance and retreat, this battle may end the destruction of one side. In the border area of ​​Yan State, Wei State has sufficient soldiers and food, and it goes without saying who will destroy the country first."

Liu Qing frowned and said, "Nominally, Da Yan is already a subordinate of Wei. Although he does not listen to the order or the Xuan, he is a nominal monarch and minister. The king of Yan was also granted by Cao Rui and given nine tins. Cao Shuang attacked Liaodong, but in what name is it? If he had a military force that was not righteous, he would be defeated."

He sighed and sat down at the stone pavilion in the back garden. Wang Zhu poured him a cup of tea. Gongsun Xiu drank it all and said slowly: "The name of Cao Shuang sending troops is justified. He wants to hand over the prince and send it to Luoyang as a qualifier. This is the etiquette and law since the Spring and Autumn Period, and it complies with the rules. If Gu does not hand over, he will destroy the Great Wall and fall on the unrighteous side."

He said this on purpose, with the intention of trying out the attitudes of Wang Zhu and Liu Qing.

As soon as these words were said, Wang Zhu immediately turned pale and smiled bitterly: "Do you want the little fish to go to Luoyang to be a proton to end the war?"

Gongsun Xiu thought to himself: "Of course this silly girl feels so distressed. After all, Ba'er was born from her ten months of pregnancy and gave birth. She has a deep friendship. She sent the baby who had just learned to walk and was taught to Luoyang thousands of miles away, far away from her parents and relatives, and no one could do it."

"I am also hesitating for this."

Wang Zhu pondered for a moment and said resolutely: "If the king is in a dilemma, send Ba'er to Luoyang as a qualifying place. Otherwise, the country that has just settled down will be devastated again."

He couldn't help but be shocked, and whispered: "What do you mean is that you are willing to send Ba'er to Luoyang as a proton?"

Wang Zhu shook his head and said weepingly: "If it weren't for the king's country and the people, how could I be cruel and send my own flesh and blood to Luoyang as a gift? Ba'er is only one year old and has not yet remembered it. The only ones who are familiar with are close concubines, and the king's several people are just gone. I'm afraid... I'm afraid... I'm unpredictable. Maybe I'll come back safely and forget my parents. However, when Yan and Wei battle, the corpses are like mountains. I don't know how many people in the big Yan will lose their father, husband, and son. Instead of being covered in the world, it's better for our family to bear it."

Gongsun Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and then he thought that his princess already had the demeanor of being a mother in the world. He felt deeply moved, but he did not express his feelings for him and his eyes turned to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing said: "Cao Shuang has more than 100,000 soldiers, and is in power, and is in power. If the prince sends him to the State of Wei, he will not be able to delay the battle between Yan and Wei. After all, the battle is always unpredictable. If the great Yan wins and the prince happens to be in the hands of Wei, the king will control himself everywhere. It would be better to start a war directly. My concubine and the Liu family must be standing beside the king."

Gongsun Xiu beat him up to the sky and said, "Excellent, amazing. I have two virtuous couples, so I don't have to worry about the uncertainty of the world."

Wang Zhu couldn't help but say "ah" that she was the princess and Liu Qing as her concubine, and she had always been extremely wary. After all, she was beautiful and a famous family. She thought that she would agree directly to send the prince to Luoyang as a charity, but she never thought that Liu Qing had no selfishness and insisted on fighting against the Wei army.

Liu Qing reached out to wipe away Wang Zhu's tears and said softly: "Don't cry anymore. The king is wise and powerful, and he will not do such a heartbreaking thing."

Wang Zhu no longer had any prejudice against her at this moment. He hugged Liu Qing tightly and whispered: "In the future, we might as well call our sisters. Ba'er should respect your mother when she grows up."

Liu Qing gently patted her back, put her chin on Wang Zhu's shoulder, and said softly: "I have married and I have been sisters and are both family members. If I say this, I will be separated."

Gongsun Xiu shook his head and smiled. Of course, he could see that Liu Qing had seen through his strategy and could never hand over the prince as a quality. He had made a favor and brought his relationship with Wang Zhu closer. If he was called sisters, it would not be based on status, but on age. Although the two were the same age, Liu Qing was seven months older than Wang Zhu.

Liu Qing raised his head, blinked his left eye playfully at him, and smiled, meaning that he would see through it and not say it out loud.

Gongsun Xiu was too lazy to point it out. After all, harmony in the harem is more important than anything else. In the next time, you can plan your wholeheartedly how to deal with Cao Shuang.
