   Chapter 392 Soldiers approach (2)

   Before, everyone was still worried about why the Yan army didn't attack the city, but now the news of the attack has really reached their ears, and everyone looked more flustered.

   Especially the Empress Dowager Zhao, her face turned pale and her whole body trembled.

   Concubine Qin hurriedly stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager Zhao, with a worried look on her face: "The Empress Dowager, don't be impatient, with General Liang here, the Yan army cannot enter the capital."

   Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't listen and looked at Lu Mingyu eagerly.

  Lu Mingyu said solemnly: "General Liang will definitely be able to defend the city gate, and the imperial grandmother can wait for the good news with peace of mind!"

   The same words, spoken by different people, have completely different effects.

   Empress Dowager Zhao took a deep breath, and her beating heart quickly calmed down: "Prince Concubine is right. Everyone, don't panic."

  Concubine Qin: "..."

  Concubine Qin twitched the corners of her mouth, silently let go, and returned to her seat to sit down.

   Empress Dowager Zhao thought for a while and said to Concubine Meng: "There is a war outside, let the first prince and concubine lead the child into the palace to live, the palace is always safer."

  General Liang was born and died for Wei, so he should be nice to General Liang's daughter.

   Concubine Meng nodded in response.

  Everyone sat there, thinking about the Yan army's siege of the city, and had no mood to speak at all. Lu Mingyu was the first to get up: "Grandmother, grandson-in-law will go back to Jiaofang Palace to stay first. If there is any news, send someone to Shouning Palace to deliver the letter immediately. No matter what the news is, please hold on to the grandmother."

   Empress Dowager Zhao was reluctant to let Lu Mingyu leave like this, and opened her mouth and said, "The queen is ill and needs to recuperate in peace. You might as well stay in the Shouning Palace, and it is convenient to discuss anything if you have anything."

  Lu Mingyu said warmly: "The stewards are used to going to the Jiaofang Palace to report something, and the grandson-in-law is also used to being the director of the Jiaofang Palace. The grandmother is good to rest, don't think about it."

   After saying that, he got up and left.

   As soon as Lu Mingyu left, the Queen Mother Zhao lost her interest in talking, and sent Concubine Meng and Concubine Su to leave. Only Concubine Qin stayed and continued to accompany the Empress Dowager Zhao.

  …

   After Lu Mingyu returned to Jiaofang Palace, he went to see Queen Qiao first.

   Queen Qiao also received the news at this time, and hurriedly asked: "The Yan army has really attacked the city? Can the Zhengdemen be able to defend it?"

  Lu Mingyu smiled to appease Queen Qiao: "There are the most soldiers guarding Zhengdemen, and General Liang is guarding it himself, and he will definitely be able to hold it. The mother doesn't have to worry about it."

   Queen Qiao gave a wry smile: "That's what I said, but Ben Gong's heart is up and down, it's really not at ease." Then she sighed apologetically: "These days, I have to support you in everything, I'm suffering."

  Lu Mingyu reached out and held Queen Qiao's hand: "I don't feel hard. I just hope that the mother will get better soon."

   Queen Joe's hands were cold.

  Lu Mingyu's hand was warm and powerful.

   Being held by Lu Mingyu's hand, Queen Qiao's hand quickly warmed up.

   Queen Qiao calmed down and asked Empress Dowager Zhao softly. Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "The grandmother didn't like to see me before, but now she likes to see me very much. She calls me every day. Today I heard that the Yan army has attacked the city, and she wants me to stay in the Shouning Palace. !"

   Queen Qiao was amused: "The queen mother is so old, she can't stand things, and looking at you feels at ease."

   More than Empress Dowager Zhao, she is the same.

  Lu Mingyu didn't need to do anything, just sat in front of her with such a peaceful expression, she felt at ease in her heart.

   In the evening, another news came.

  The Yan army was unable to enter the city gate, and suffered a lot of casualties and had already retreated.

   After hearing the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  Lu Mingyu frowned secretly.

   This Yan Tuo, cunning and insidious, how could he be repelled so easily? Could it be that some wicked plan was secretly prepared!

  Lu Mingyu thought about it, and wrote a letter with a pen, which was sent to General Liang.

  …

   For the next few days, news came that the Yan army had attacked the city but was repelled. The people who were originally anxious, finally calmed down

  The praises of General Liang were overflowing, and the eldest prince and concubine Liang was also surrounded by everyone and said good things.

   The eldest princess felt relieved and joyful when she heard everyone complimenting her own father.

   The eldest prince injured her right leg, and she also fell ill. But no matter how sad and unhappy in my heart, the days have to go on. After she recovered from her illness, she stayed in the First Prince's Mansion, and was more concerned about Tang Ge'er than before.

   Entering the palace for a short stay this time, the eldest princess brought Brother Tang into the palace.

  The safety of the capital depends on General Liang, and Concubine Meng treats the eldest prince and concubine better than before, smiling and complimenting: "I haven't seen you for so many days, Brother Tang has grown up and sensible, and this is all your credit."

   After entering the door for so many years, it was the first time that my mother-in-law had a good face.

   The eldest prince concubine secretly sighed, and replied with a smile on her face: "This is all a matter for the daughter-in-law. The mother-in-law praised it so highly, and the daughter-in-law deserves it."

   Concubine Meng said cheerfully: "You live in the palace with Brother Tang, if you need anything, just open your mouth, don't take advantage of yourself."

   said this as if she was in charge of the palace affairs.

   Palace affairs are all in the hands of Lu Mingyu, and Lu Mingyu is also in charge of clothing and food. When the Yan army arrived outside the city, Lu Mingyu took the lead in reducing the cost of the East Palace, and the cost of the other palaces was also reduced by 30%. Concubine Meng didn't even say a word.

  The first prince concubine silently murmured in his heart, and thanked Concubine Meng with a smile: "Thank you mother-in-law for your concern. Brother Tang and I live in the palace, and we have everything we need to eat, drink, and wear."

  The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would gossip, and there was really nothing to say.

   Concubine Meng's eyes fell on Brother Tang, and she greeted with a smile, "Brother Tang, come to my grandmother."

   Brother Tang was born weak and often sick. Now more than two years old, he is about the same size as brother and sister Xuan, and his face is not fat.

   Brother Tang's eyebrows and eyes are like those of his dead mother. In terms of appearance, he is even more handsome than the eldest prince when he was a child.

   Moreover, Tang Geer is not naughty at all. After entering the Yanxi Palace, he has been sitting obediently, neither running nor making a fuss.

   As soon as Concubine Meng beckoned, Brother Tang obediently got up and came over and called out grandmother.

   Concubine Meng put her arms around Brother Tang and asked Brother Tang, "Are you used to living in the palace? Why don't you eat more at each meal? Look at this skinny look."

   Brother Tang spoke late, and now he can only jump out with two words: "Habit."

"full."

   Compared with the clever, smart, and snarky sister, Brother Xuan, it is far worse.

   Concubine Meng felt a little dissatisfied, and glanced at the eldest concubine: "Brother Tang is half a year older than Brother Jue, so he can't speak as much as Brother Jue."

   Hehe, I really can't stand it for a moment, I'm going to pick on the thorns.

   The eldest prince lowered her eyes and replied softly, "Daughter-in-law will definitely teach Brother Tang to speak carefully in the future."

   Concubine Meng was about to scold, when a palace servant walked over quickly, with panic in his voice: "Qi, Concubine Meng, I heard that Yan Jun used a poisonous trick and almost attacked the city gate!"
