Chapter 40: The Usurper General's Concubine
On the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, Jiang Yingxi didn't make much of a show, I don't know if it was because of Xu Kaize's relationship, after all, the emperor was originally in charge of everything, only at the end of the palace banquet, he seemed to remember this person, summoned him to come forward to meet him, praised the merry young man, and let him retreat.

At the end of the palace banquet, the emperor summoned Jiang Yingxi alone, and after Jiang Yingxi shouted three times and knelt down, he only looked at it coldly, and did not shout, and after a long time, he asked: "You are Jiang Shilin's concubine?" ”
Jiang Yingxi said respectfully: "Long live, the grass people don't know, the grass people lost their mother when they were young, and they never saw their father, and no one told the grass people who their father was. ”
"Humph!" The emperor snorted coldly: "I heard that you spent your childhood in the General's Mansion. ”
"Yes, but there are many children of servants in the General's Mansion, except for my aunt in the General's Mansion, no one has spoken to the grass people, and the grass people dare not make judgments."
"Do you know what it is to deceive a king?" The Emperor accentuated his tone.
Jiang Yingxi seemed to be frightened: "Grass people, grass people know their crimes!" ”
"Then you dare to say that you have lived in the General's Mansion for decades, and no one has spoken to you except your aunt?"
"Yes, the grass people know their mistakes, I think that when they were young, the grass people's biological mother should have also talked to the grass people, but the grass people were still young at that time, and they don't remember it anymore."
The emperor frowned slightly: "Since then, how did you live in the General's Mansion?" ”
Jiang Yingxi's face was ashamed, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "The grass people shrink in the stone crevices of the garden rockery during the day, and go out at night to find something to eat, if it is summer and autumn, they also pick some fruits in the garden to satisfy their stomachs, and when it is cold in winter, they can only ......."
Seeing that he "could only" for a long time, and there was no answer, the emperor ran out of patience: "What can I do?" ”
"I can only ...... I can only grab some food from the mouth of the concierge in the house......"
The emperor sneered: "Are you complaining to General Daojiang and his wife for mistreating you?" ”
"Naturally not, Mrs. is kind-hearted, the weather is cold and freezing in winter, and the grass people can't resist it several times, it is Mrs. who sent someone to feed the grass people with medicine, and Mrs. is kind to the grass people and rebuilds, and the grass people are grateful in their hearts."
"You are a grateful person, get up, blessed, now there is Jiang Ruyu, an old disciple of Xu, who is humble and respectful, and I am very comforted, with a bounty of one hundred taels, two Luofu brocade yarns, kneel down."
Jiang Yingxi thanked him and pushed him out respectfully, and the emperor beckoned: "Go, check this Jiang Yingxi for me." ”
The emperor spoke, the speed was naturally fast, early the next morning, someone handed over a fold, which included Jiang Yingxi's life in detail, which was basically the same as what Jiang Yingxi said, the emperor frowned and flipped through a few pages, and then asked: "The matter in the General's Mansion has nothing to do with this Jiang Yingxi?" ”
"Your Majesty, Jiang Yingxi has been with Xu Lao and a few classmates in those days, and he has never been alone every day, day or night."
"Talking like this, it really has nothing to do with him, it seems that he is a blessed person, and the Chu family thinks that it is because of his evil heart that he has this retribution."
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the border pass came with good news, the Agerha tribe withdrew from the northern Xinjiang, the war came to an end for the time being, the war is too manpower and financial resources, after all, the Agerha tribe is not as large as the Great Zhou, the people can not be attacked for a long time, and this year's wind and rain are smooth, the food can be full, and after such a long battle, regardless of the people and horses, they are all tired, and they should rest.
The emperor naturally issued an order to summon him back to Beijing.
This emperor is actually difficult to do, think about it, people go out to fight, the family is dead, for the stability of the border pass, the previous emperor did not dare to tell him, this, when he comes back, how to speak?
Regardless of the emperor's eighteen turns, Jiang Shilin is still back, Rao is he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he is used to seeing life and death parting, but the knife is different from piercing others, and people in their forties can't help but wipe a handful of tears in the palace, but what can be done, who can blame for this?
Resentful of the Emperor? He didn't have the guts. Complaining that the Chu clan didn't take good care of these children? But seeing the withered appearance of the Chu family now, how can he bear to open his mouth after being married for so many years? It's really a disaster, probably because of the will of God, think about it, it was he who caused too many killings, so he deserved this catastrophe, and he was pitiful for this general who had dominated the battlefield for many years, and finally he couldn't believe in his fate.
The war lasted for four or five years, and according to his previous achievements, it could only be without merit, but the emperor still praised him heavily, and after that, the imperial study summoned him and told him that he had a child and that he was still quite good.
What is more comforting than when a person learns that his family is dead, and his heart is like ashes, and then tell him that there is actually another one who is not dead?
Jiang Shilin's heart, which was like a dead ash, snorted and burned again, and his hands were shaking with excitement.
The emperor showed him the investigation report, and he also remembered that he had heard that she had given birth to a son after the spring breeze with the servant girl back then, but he had a very strong relationship with the Chu family back then, and he always felt ashamed of her, and even had a little complaint about the child, and there was no such thing as a bento.
Now I found out that he owes a lot to this child, that is his son, these years, it has been like this, if it weren't for the kindness of the Lin family, thinking about it, he would not even have this son, for a while, he couldn't help but cry.
The emperor can't say anything about him, after all, there are parents in the world, that is someone's child, people love to beat and scold, love to kill and kill, this is the minister's backyard business, and he is too lazy to stretch out his hand.
Jiang Shilin went back to the house to wash up and went to see the Chu family, the Chu family was still the half-dead appearance, Jiang Shilin held her hand, slowly told Jiang Yingxi about the matter, and stroked her hair at the end, and said: "Don't be sad, God still left us a child, and when I take him back, I will record him in your name, and honor you instead of the three unblessed ones." ”
He is still thinking about his father's kindness and filial piety. Chu Shi grabbed his hand tightly, his nails sank deep into the flesh, his face was hideous, and he cursed with tears: "Why, why did my child die, that slut's child still dared to live, to die, to die, why didn't he die, why didn't he die, why, the sky has no eyes!" ”
The Chu family was almost crazy, Jiang Shilin hugged her tightly and comforted: "Don't be like this, Lan'er, he will be your child in the future, if you really don't like him, then take a few more concubines for your husband, and bring you to raise you under your knees after giving birth to a child, and raise him when he is young, always close." ”
Chu Shi pushed him away violently: "Don't dream, that's your child, it's not mine, you say these words, it's nothing more than to ask me to remember him as a concubine under his name, and have a good reputation outside, you dream, I won't let that cheap seed occupy Rui'er's position when I die, I want to call him to die when that wild seed is born, but I found that life is sometimes more torturous than death, I hate him for so many years, I hate him so much, you get out, get out of your cheap seed, I don't want to see you again." ”
