Ao Lang's army fought fiercely with the Turhutes at the Lengge River. The enemy saw that the Qing soldiers were brave and invincible, so they retreated one after another. Only one female general resisted and refused to retreat. She chased alone to the Gourd Valley and was ambushed. She fought with the Qin deputy for more than a hundred rounds. Finally, she was exhausted and was picked off her horse by the Qin deputy. She was tied up by the soldiers and captured back to her tent.
"Hahaha! What a shrewdness! I like it!" Deputy General Qin carried the female general with one hand and pulled the reins with the other. With a push of his foot, the horse galloped. The group of people rode their horses and quickly returned to the camp.
"Vice General Qin, you've won! What handsome skills." When he returned to the camp, the soldiers surrounded him and led his horse.
"Our Vice General Qin is not much inferior to Great General Ao!”The two soldiers took advantage of Deputy General Qin's excitement and took the opportunity to flatter him.
"Hahaha! I'm happy today! Everyone will be rewarded!" Deputy General Qin got off his horse and carried the female general whose hands and feet were tied up. He brushed the tent cage and strode in.
General Ao Lang was discussing tomorrow's battle with a few deputy generals in the tent. The deputy generals were pointing at the map and analyzing the mountains and rivers. Ao Lang listened carefully and answered from time to time while wiping his sword.
"Reporting…reporting to General Ao, we have won a fierce battle with the Torhuts at the Lengge River and captured a female general!”A soldier was gasping for breath as he knelt in the tent.
Ao Lang knew that the situation was not good when he heard that Deputy General Qin had tied up the enemy female generals and brought them into his tent. He suddenly put away his sword and strode to Qin Kuang's tent, but he was stopped outside by Qin Kuang's soldiers.
It should be known that Qin Kuang had always been lustful towards women. The female captives who fell into his hands would not be spared from being defiled. Ao Lang didn't pursue the other battles and turned a blind eye to them. However, this time, the Emperor personally appointed my Ao Lang as the commander. I know that the importance of this battle can't be underestimated. The Emperor didn't want to expand this battle and make things difficult for them. He just wanted to teach them a lesson. If they leave the territory of Qing Dynasty, they can still be on good terms with them and bring peace to the four directions. The identity of the female general of the enemy has yet to be ascertained. I heard that she was very brave and single-handedly defeated the First Deputy General of the Qing Dynasty, Qin Kuang, for a hundred rounds. I know that this female general is not simple. If she is really an important person, it will ruin the Emperor's entire plan.
Qin Kuang excitedly carried the female general and walked into his own tent. After entering the tent, he ordered the soldiers to keep an eye on him and not allow anyone to disturb his elegant mood. Seeing this, the soldiers had already guessed in their hearts and quickly agreed, and still received the reward.
After entering the tent, Qin Kuang threw the female general on his shoulder onto the felt bed, shook his arms and stretched his muscles. Seeing the female captive struggling on the felt bed aroused his great interest. During the battle just now, the dust was flying and she was wearing armor, so he couldn't see her face clearly. Now that he looked at her carefully, she was very beautiful.
She had a pair of small lotus feet, and her red boots were inlaid with gold, making her look especially attractive. Qin Kuang grabbed her small feet and sniffed them, intoxicated and slightly drunk. He sneakily looked up at her small feet and saw that she was also wrapped in fiery red armor, which was more prominent and well-proportioned. Qin Kuang couldn't control himself. He lost his little feet and pounced on the woman. The woman struggled violently.
"Stop!" Ao Lang roared angrily when he saw Qin Kuang's frivolous actions.
Qin Kuang was lost in thought for a long time. He only came back to his senses after hearing Ao Lang's roar. He got down from the female captive unhurriedly and bowed to General Ao Lang absent-mindedly before leaving the tent.
"Qin Kuang!" The deputy general angrily called out to him.
"Why are you calling me?" Qin Kuang had already lifted the curtain, but now he turned around and asked.
"Deputy General Qin, how can I, Ao Lang, control you?”Ao Lang said calmly.
"Great General Ao is brave and resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and has outstanding military achievements. Naturally, no one in the army disagrees.”Qin Kuang said.
"Does the people in the army include you, Qin Kuang?”Ao Lang asked.
"I, Qin Kuang, admire Great General Ao greatly. However, I have never been disciplined. I will do what I think is right. If I want to do something wrong, no one can control me. I came here to fight for the Qing Dynasty. She is an enemy female general, so what if I teach her? Even if the emperor came, I wouldn't listen.”Qin Kuang generously said.
"What a good body to fight for the Qing Dynasty!”Ao Lang's serious expression turned into laughter when he heard this." Hehe, you're quite heroic. However, this female general can't be touched. After we win the battle, I, Ao Lang, will invite you to the best brothel in the capital for a drink! If I ask for a few hundred or a thousand at the right time, I, Ao Lang, won't even frown!”
Ao Lang put one hand on Qin Kuang's shoulder and brushed the curtain with the other. Qin Kuang was reluctant, but he was forced by Ao Lang's arm to hold his sore shoulder, so he had to follow Ao Lang.
When the other deputy general saw this, he stood there and didn't understand Ao Lang's meaning. He could only shake his head. General Ao's actions were always unexpected and he always had a unique calmness.
Just as the deputy general was about to leave the tent, he heard a " mm " sound in his ear. He turned his head and remembered her. He walked over and bent down to remove the cloth from her mouth. He thought that she would scream and shout, but he did not expect the woman to cry out and look pitiful.
The deputy general was a military general and had been in contact with men since he was young. When he saw the woman crying, he panicked and did not know what to do. He had to say all the good things.
"Come here! I have something to say!" The woman saw that the deputy general was honest and simple, so she decided to escape from him.
"What is it? Are you Ge Ge?" The deputy general was so scared that his mouth was wide open, and he was stunned.
"I called you over! Are you deaf?" The woman became even more arrogant as she spoke with an inviolable aura.
" Oh…" The deputy general scratched his head and walked over.
"I'm Ge Ge now, and after I get married…I'll be a woman of the Qing Dynasty. With my status, it'll be easy for me to kill you. Your entire army will die because you won't let me go now!”the woman threatened.
"Ah!" The deputy general was frightened by her words. He quickly cut the rope on the woman's body with his knife and let her go.
A faint smile appeared on the woman's lips as she got up and escaped.
Ao Lang was hiding at the side of the tent. Seeing her run away, he smiled.
In the Peaceful Life Palace, the Grand Empress Dowager was chatting with the Empress.
"Empress, have you been feeling better recently?”The Empress Dowager asked with concern, occasionally sniffing at her snuff bottle.
Time passed peacefully and slowly.
"Many thanks for the Empress Dowager's concern.”Although the Empress replied like this, her expression was depressed.
"Empress, if your body is not feeling well, just let the imperial physician prescribe the best medicine. Royal Grandma saw that you were frowning all day and looked haggard. She was very worried.”The Empress Dowager took the Empress 'hand and gently patted it.
"Mu 'er is really fine. Royal Grandmother, you don't have to worry.”The Empress responded faintly, still unable to open her face.
"Although Imperial Grandmother lives in the Peaceful Life Palace, she sees the children's matters. Aijia understands that the emperor has been busy with state affairs recently and must have neglected the empress. The Empress had been like this since she was young. She was dignified and quiet, and did not speak much. Royal Grandmother valued these advantages of you even more, so she chose you to be the mother of the world. Of course, all these years, you have maintained the six palaces and have been praised by everyone. However…our Emperor is also a man. As a man, he can't help but like those lively and lively women. Imperial Grandma said until here, the Empress should go back and think about it herself…Bi Wen, help this widow rest.”The Grand Empress Dowager looked at her meaningfully before being supported by her servant maids into the inner hall.
"Farewell, Grand Empress Dowager." The Empress stood up and bowed.
The Empress listened to the ancestor's words and thought carefully. All these years, although the Emperor had been polite to him, he was only putting on the appearance of a loving couple. Although I, Hesheli, am not considered the best among the Eight Banners women, I am still quite beautiful. The emperor is also a man, but he doesn't even look at me. Didn't they say that there was no man in the world who didn't love beauties? He is not in my eyes.
Could it really be like what Royal Grandmother said, that I don't have the vitality of an ordinary woman? However, since she was young, Mother did not teach her like this. Mother said that the most important thing for a woman was etiquette. She had to sit dignified, walk gently, look straight, chew slowly, speak softly, and treat men with feminine virtues. She could not be unrestrained or unrestrained... Was Mother wrong, or was the ancestor wrong? Or did the Emperor never love any woman?
That's right, when was he not in the royal study reading memorials, discussing state affairs with the officials, studying hard, and when was he not reading memorials until he fell asleep? He also did not flip over the green head tokens of the other concubines. His eyes were cold and indifferent to all the concubines. What was he thinking? In the past dynasties, which emperor didn't have many wives and concubines? It was just that he wasn't keen on choosing a beautiful woman. Every year, he only told me to do it hastily and never asked about those who stayed.
The date of this year's talent selection is approaching. I don't know if the Emperor's attitude will change slightly this year. I don't know if there is anyone among the Eight Banners women who can satisfy him. I, Hershel, have never been a narrow-minded person. However, if the Emperor continues to be like this, I'm afraid that I will also be criticized in the imperial court and the harem. What should I do? Royal Grandma was looking forward to hugging her great-grandson every day…
" Sigh..." Herschel sighed again.
"Empress, let's return to the palace.”Cui Huan supported the Empress. Seeing her sigh every day, she was also very worried.
The night was closing in, covering her thoughts.
In the royal study, the Emperor was splashing ink on calligraphy when Cao Yin came in from outside.
"Cao Yin, you came just in time. Come and take a look at my calligraphy. How is it?”The Emperor stopped writing and proudly called Cao Yin over, clearly very satisfied with his own work.
"Hmm…there's an elegant air to it, but it's a little lacking when it's retracted.”Cao Yin said bluntly.
"Cao Yin, you are the only one in the entire court who dares to speak to me like this.”The Emperor smiled.
"I deserve to die." Cao Yin hurriedly knelt down.
"Get up, get up. I was joking. I like people like you who are outspoken. Well said! I'm happy." The emperor helped Cao Yin up, and the two went to the warm pavilion to drink tea and chat.
At this moment, Eunuch Li came in with a tea tray and respectfully placed it on the table. He lowered his eyes and said," Please enjoy, Your Majesty."”
"Eunuch Li, this is?" The Emperor thought that he had just eaten his refreshments, and that they had been sent to the wrong place.
"Reporting to the emperor, this snack was personally made by the empress. The empress was afraid of disturbing you, so she asked this old servant to send it over.”Eunuch Li replied with a hunched back.
"Oh…leave it there. You go down first.”The emperor said coldly.
Eunuch Li put down the tea and left.
Cao Yin smiled and said,"Your Majesty, this snack looks really lovely. I think the person who made it must have put in a lot of effort." Your Majesty, why don't you try it?"
"Very full." The emperor is very happy.
"The Empress is rarely meticulous.”Cao Yin sighed.
"This empress, she makes these every two or three days. Zhen said that she doesn't like to eat, yet she has to send them here every day.”The Emperor was displeased. He glanced at the snacks and ignored them. He only talked about serious matters with Cao Yin.
At this moment, Eunuch Li, who was outside the hall, returned to the Empress.
"Eunuch Li, did the emperor eat the snacks I ordered you to deliver?”The Empress couldn't hide the concern in her eyes.
"The emperor ordered this old servant to put it down and let this old servant come out.”Eunuch Li bowed his head and replied.
" Oh..." The Empress was deeply disappointed. She sighed and left with Cui Huan.
" Your Highness, you wake up early every day and personally go to the kitchen to do this and that. It's been half a month, but the Emperor has never praised you. Your Highness has burned your hands many times and your heart has been burned many times because of this. This servant's heart aches when I see it…" Cui Huan's eyes were wet.
" But, the Emperor never feels sorry for you…" The Empress sighed bitterly.
" Your Majesty…Perhaps the Emperor has been busy recently…" Cui Huan did not know how to comfort the Empress. She knew that the Emperor never stepped into the Palace of Earthly Tranquility except for festivals and the Empress's birthday. He stayed in the royal study every day.
" Maybe…" The Empress understood, but there was still hope in her heart.
Although the emperor doesn't like me, it's impossible that he doesn't like any woman. There's definitely hope. I have to report to the ancestor for this talent selection and give me full authority to handle it. I can't let the emperor end it hastily. I have to personally choose a woman for the emperor and serve him well.
