The third undercurrent

Emperor Zhaoming smiled and said that if Huangfu Yongning was an excellent one, he would marry her into the royal family, and the Queen Mother did not show it at all, but she secretly had a heart, and she moved away from the topic without a trace and asked: "So the emperor has decided to let Huangfu Jing Deban return to the court?" ”

Emperor Zhaoming smiled excitedly: "This is natural, Queen Mother, my son plans to wait for the army to arrive in Beijing to personally go out of the palace to greet him, and the most solemn ceremony of offering prisoners will be held outside Zhengyang Gate, Queen Mother, you will also go then." "Zhengyangmen, is the place where the king of Nadu Khan coerced the emperor to write a book of surrender and Nashun table, in the past 20 years, Zhengyangmen is a place of shame in the hearts of all the people of Dachen, and no one has entered and exited the capital from Zhengyangmen for 20 years, which has become a barren place with weeds without knees.

"Yes, yes, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony will be held in Zhengyangmen, the mourning family is going, the queen is also going, the emperor, this is the biggest happy event for our royal family in the past 20 years, and it will be done successfully." The Queen Mother immediately responded and said.

"Uh...... Okay, just follow the words of the queen mother. Queen Mother, you rest first, and the son will go to summon Huangfu Jingde to return to the court, and he has to quickly arrange for people to re-correct Yangmen. Emperor Zhaoming was obviously a little reluctant to the Empress Dowager to attend the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, so he found an excuse and left in a hurry. When the queen mother saw her son hiding something, she hurriedly left, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, this emperor and queen discord is not a sign of prosperity, and you have to do some water grinding work slowly.

The Queen Mother was shaking her head, and Emperor Zhaoming suddenly turned back, bowed to the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, the matter of Huangfu Jingbian is Huangfu Yongning has to be kept secret for the time being, and how to reward her has to wait for me to see before I can make a conclusion." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "The mourning family is awake, you can go and get busy." Emperor, which concubine you favor will not interfere, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, and today is fifteen. Emperor Zhaoming frowned and replied helplessly, and hurried away again.

Emperor Zhaoming went through the Manchu generals in his mind, and selected the British Duke Feng Shichang to take over from Huangfu Jing to guard the border pass. The British Duke was originally the deputy marshal of Huangfu Jingde, who was seriously injured three years ago before returning to Beijing to recuperate, and now his body has completely recovered and he is just going back to take charge of military affairs. The Kura people have basically been wiped out, even if there are still three or two fish left that can't set off a big wave, so Huangfu Jingde can rest assured that all the military affairs will be handed over to Feng Shichang, and he will take the "righteous son" Huangfu Jingbian to escort the king of Nadu Khan and other Kura nobles back to Beijing to offer prisoners.

Before Huangfu Jingde and his entourage arrived in the capital, all the powerful ladies in the capital had already started to think about the arrival of Huangfu's father and son. Huangfu Jingde has not remarried since he lost his wife ten years ago, and now he is at the age of thirty-five, and has made great contributions. Therefore, the ladies of Yanjing City are holding back their strength and want to marry their own girls to Huangfu Jingde as their stepwives.

Not only was Huangfu Jingde remembered by those noble ladies, but even Huangfu Jingbian became the most ideal husband in the hearts of Yanjing's famous ladies. That is the greatest hero of the capture of the King of Nadu Khan, a fifteen-year-old young general, and a general who has accumulated military merits with a knife and a gun, this is simply an unprecedented miracle in the history of Da Chen, all the girls in Yanjing City who have just fallen in love with each other are excited when they think of the little general Huangfu Jingbian, their eyes are shining with excitement and their faces are red.

In the ardent anticipation of everyone in Yanjing City, Huangfu Jingde led Huangfu Jingbian and 3,000 soldiers of the Dingbei Army to escort the nobles of Khura and finally arrived at Liulin Fort, twenty miles outside Yanjing City. According to the will of Emperor Zhaoming, the army will rest here for one night, and go to Zhengyangmen early tomorrow morning to hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

Early the next morning, Huangfu Jingde led the army to Zhengyangmen, Emperor Zhaoming, the Queen Mother, the Empress Zhang, the concubine Liu, and all the princes were already waiting on the Zhengyangmen Tower. When the Queen Mother and the Empress saw Zhaoming taking Concubine Liu Guifei with her, their faces were a little unpleasant. Especially the queen mother's face was very gloomy, when Liu Guifei stepped forward to greet her, the queen mother didn't even pay attention to it, just snorted coldly and turned her face to talk to the queen.

Liu Guifei was very embarrassed, and glanced at Emperor Zhaoming with infinitely aggrieved eyes, and the distressed Emperor Zhaoming pinched his old heart. He hurriedly helped Liu Guifei up, and said in an extremely gentle and doting voice: "Aifei, hurry up." The Queen Mother snorted coldly when she heard Emperor Zhaoming's words, and her dissatisfaction with Concubine Liu Guifei deepened in her heart. Immediately took the queen's hand and commanded slowly: "Queen, the mourning family is old and their eyes are not good, you can take care of Huan'er more for the mourning family when you go back." ”

The queen immediately curtled her knees and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, as soon as Yu'er heard that Huan'er was also coming, she ran to find him." Go back and let both of them follow the concubine, and the concubine will definitely take care of them. When the Queen Mother heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Among the princes, Qi Jingyu, the fifth prince born by the queen, has the best relationship with the most distressed grandson of the queen mother, the only son of Emperor Zhaoming's younger brother, and Qi Jinghuan, the youngest prince of Da Chen.

Concubine Liu Guifei listened to the Queen Mother's order for the queen to take care of Prince Gu Le, Qi Jinghuan, and she was angry in her heart. Both the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhaoming regarded Qi Jinghuan as heavier than the prince, which made Liu Guifei, who gave birth to three sons in a row, really unbearable. In Liu Guifei's opinion, the one enjoyed by Qi Jinghuan, the prince of the sick Yangzile, was all robbed of her son.

A squeaky sound sounded, and everyone looked up, only to see two sturdy guards carrying a sedan chair made of Xiangfei bamboo, walking steadily from the horse road. Walking beside the sedan chair was a handsome young man dressed in a light gold thin silk dragon prince suit.

"The emperor's grandmother, father, mother, and son came up with Cousin Huan." The handsome young man shouted loudly, his voice was clear and bright, and it sounded like a clear spring, which made everyone's hearts immediately calm down because of the scorching sun above their heads.

"Yu'er is such a good boy!" The Queen Mother smiled and praised first, and the young man's white and pure little face immediately flew with two blushes, which looked particularly attractive. The queen saw such a son, no matter how unsatisfactory she was, she was scattered at this time, no matter what, she still had a good son who was filial and considerate, even if Emperor Zhaoming didn't have her in his heart, she would not live in vain in this life.

The bamboo sedan chair of Xiangfei stopped, and the two little eunuchs who followed the sedan chair hurriedly stepped forward, one of them opened the bamboo silk sedan curtain, and the other bowed down and handed over his arm for the person in the sedan chair to use as a handrail. A boneless and white hand slowly stretched out and put it on the little eunuch's arm, and then, a person with a delicate white jade Ruyi crown and a delicate white jade crown tied his hair, like a fairy, slowly walked off the sedan chair......
