Xiao Jingheng held the reins tightly with one hand and walked in the direction of the palace, and where he passed, everyone knelt down and kowtowed, shouting Long live our emperor.

Listening to the familiar and unfamiliar voice, Xiao Jingheng continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard it, until the curtain was raised, revealing Chu Yunning's pale little face, and the two looked at each other and smiled when they looked at each other.

Facing the breeze, she saw Xiao Jingheng's tiredness, and said with some distress: "Since I am back, the first thing must be to visit the Queen Mother."

This coincided with Xiao Jingheng's thoughts, he nodded, stopped and handed the reins in his hand to the guards, took Chu Yunning's hand, helped her dismount, and then went to help Beibei after she stood firm.

Beibei hugged Xiao Jingheng's neck, rubbed his head lightly between his neck, and muttered in a low voice: "Uncle Huang, my mother is seriously injured and looks very bad, someone must have bullied my mother." ”

Xiao Jingheng stretched out his big palm and rubbed Beibei's head: "Uncle Huang knows, don't worry about it, there is still Uncle Huang here." ”

"Good. ”

Chu Yunning looked at the two of them muttering, couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to lead Beibei.

The three of them walked forward one after the other, Xiao Jingheng walked in the front, his pace was very steady, and one hand was on the saber at his waist.

Chu Yunning deliberately took two steps back to open up some distance, she knew that the ancients were very well-behaved, and suddenly Xiao Jingheng slowed down, as if he was deliberately waiting for her, and when he saw that she couldn't keep up, he simply stopped.

"Ah Ning, what are you worried about?" Xiao Jingheng's tone softened a lot, he didn't have those thoughts of male superiority and inferiority in his bones, and Chu Yunning had paid too much for himself, he didn't want to wronged her.

Remember the URL

A-Ning is different from those women in the harem.

Chu Yunning smiled, and kept up with Xiao Jingheng's footsteps, like a family of three.

"How is Chu'er?"

"Everything was fine. Chu Yunning said a few words briefly, Xiao Jingheng nodded, and it was too late to ask.

Soon arrived at Cihe Palace, and Aunt Su had already learned the news, so she stopped at the gate of the palace.

She bowed her head and saluted: "The slave maid greets the emperor." ”

"Aunt Su doesn't have to be polite, how is the queen mother recently?" Xiao Jingheng asked worriedly, for more than a year, thanks to the queen mother's support of the harem, it is really hard.

Aunt Su glanced at the direction behind Xiao Jingheng, there was a group of civil and military officials, and she knew that the emperor still had a tough battle to fight.

So she sighed lightly: "The Queen Mother is old, and her body is getting worse, and she has been disturbed by several ministers in the past few days, and she is always tossing and turning at night, and her spirit is not very good." ”

This is all true, the queen mother is old, and her body almost burned out in the harem when she was young.

knelt at the gate of Cihe Palace and didn't leave, so angry that the Queen Mother had a heart attack, and her body was getting worse and worse.

Xiao Jingheng heard that her eyebrows could be knotted, and Aunt Su saw this and looked at Xiao Jingheng and Chu Yunning standing side by side, she said: "Why should the emperor embarrass the queen mother, you are the king of a country, there are some things that you don't have to ask, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, and the queen mother can't refuse." ”

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Su said: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has instructed, let the Queen Mother recuperate well, it is not appropriate to disturb, you have come to ask for peace, her old man knows your filial piety." ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Jingheng and Chu Yunning are both smart people, so it is clear that the Queen Mother does not want to interfere and does not favor anyone.

"Tell the queen mother that I will come to visit her later after I have finished my official duties. Xiao Jingheng lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down on one knee, and kowtowed three times in the direction of the main hall of Cihe Palace: "It's the son's unfilial piety, so the queen mother is worried." ”

Aunt Su hurriedly helped Xiao Jingheng to stand up: "Your Majesty, hurry up, the Queen Mother will be distressed if she knows." ”

At this time, the old prince suddenly rushed over, and burst into tears at Xiao Jingheng, crying a handful of snot and tears, kneeling on the ground and not being able to stand on the ground: "Your Majesty, it is the old minister who has no way to teach, but for the sake of such a bloodline in the palace, spare Princess Xiao." ”

In terms of generation, the old prince is Xiao Jingheng's elder, and his status is noble, several of his descendants died on the battlefield, and he is a hero at the southern end.

If it was because of Princess Xiao who ruined the reputation of the old palace, it would not be worth it.

The hundreds of officials behind him knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Xiao Jingheng stood in front of everyone, and a generation of emperors exuded a strong aura of a hegemon, looking down on all officials.

There are still the remorseful cries of the old prince in his ears, as well as the admonitions of civil and military officials who risk death, which are more serious than when they were at the city gate just now, and even more two stubborn officials forced each other to die.

"If the emperor has to take Chu Shanggong as a concubine, this is a sign of the death of the country, since ancient times, how can a daughter marry a second husband, and virtue is not worthy, doesn't this make everyone in the world laugh at our southern end?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen can't deny that Chu Shang Palace has made a lot of contributions to the southern end, but Chu Shang Palace has been married after all, and he is the original partner of your younger brother Xiao Wang, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice. ”

"Your Majesty, what you have said is good, please think twice. ”

The corners of Chu Yunning's mouth curled up with a sneer, and he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am divorced, even if I am unmarried, what crime did you commit to make so many of you crusade against me?"

"The royal face is bigger than the sky, an honest woman will not show up like you at all, once the emperor marries you, other women will follow suit in the future, so what?"

Chu Yunning followed the voice and looked at the imperial doctor, and asked rhetorically: "You also have a mother, a wife, and a daughter, do you have to endure it all the time if they are not happy, and be aggrieved for your so-called face for the rest of your life?"

"Chu Shanggong is sharp-toothed, this is quibbling, a woman should be a husband and a child, and she can't show up casually at all, and how many people like Chu Shanggong are deviant at the southern end?"

In the hearts of civil and military officials, the various behaviors of a woman like Chu Yunning are too outrageous and unacceptable.

Chu Yunning sneered twice, suddenly took out a token from his arms, knelt on the ground and held it high: "Your Majesty, I saved your life on the battlefield that day, the soldiers of the three armies are all witnesses, you once said that you will promise to be in the future, I don't know how to count?"

When everyone heard this, they were furious.

"Back?"

"It's too much. ”

"How can a woman who is divorced be worthy of being the queen of the southern end, it's just outrageous. ”

Chu Yunning looked stubborn: "Since the emperor can't do it, then ask the emperor to take back this token in front of the three armies again." ”

"Presumptuous! How can the emperor go back on his word, doesn't this make the emperor lose his trust and become a joke of the three armies?" A Jiang adult, who was good friends with General Chu, stood up and said: "Since ancient times, the emperor has no jokes, and since the emperor has already made a promise, he should fulfill it. ”

"Nonsense!" Doctor Yushi wanted to refute, but Lord Jiang immediately asked: "Then according to Lord Yushi, what should I do, Chu Shang Palace has collected 300,000 soldiers in the West Sea, and he is a great hero, and the emperor can't easily go back on his words, or execute Chu Shang Palace?"

One sentence made Doctor Yushi's face turn red, and he turned pale for a while, he looked at Xiao Jingheng's expression as if he was about to eat people, and was so frightened that he immediately said: "Weichen didn't mean that, Lord Jiang, don't talk nonsense." ”

Xiao Jingheng looked around, and said in a deep voice: "I bother you Aiqing to think of a way to get the best of both worlds as soon as possible, which can not only protect my reputation in front of the three armies, but also save the royal face, the situation is urgent, you are thinking here, when you figure it out and then leave." ”

The ministers were stunned, and they didn't know what to do for a while, the old prince on the side was still crying, and Xiao Jingheng helped the person up with a smile: "This matter is also bothering the old prince to give a foolproof plan." ”

The old prince knew in his heart that Xiao Jingheng was deliberately giving everyone a problem.
