Early the next morning, the emperor announced that the crown prince and King Pei returned to the palace, and said excitedly: "The military department Shangshu sent someone to send a letter, saying that he had successfully captured Li Qi, the king of Xiangyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As long as Li Qi, the king of Xiangyang, is captured, the other three vassal kings will lose their leaders, and they will only be captured.

The crown prince and King Pei were both very excited and hurriedly congratulated the emperor.

The emperor smiled and drank a few sips of tea, looked at the prince and said, "You came up with the plan this time, so you have a lot of credit this time, and I will reward you when they return triumphantly." ”

The crown prince Zhao Yuliang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor said to Zhao Yuxian, the king of Pei, "Since the troubles in the southwest and northwest are about to be cleaned up, I can also relax and go hunting." King Pei, it's rare for you to come back, why don't you stay and accompany me and the prince to the Longhua hunting ground for a few days to hunt before returning to the domain? ”

The Longhua hunting ground is a royal hunting ground, but it is not in the capital, but in the northern suburbs of Beizhili, which is very close to the Monan region, the domain of King Pei Zhao Yuxian. There are thousands of pine waves, vast grasslands, sea of flowers, frost forests, and countless rare birds and beasts.

Every autumn, the emperor would go there to hunt, sometimes for ten or twenty days at a time, and the shortest one stayed there for eight days.

In the past, King Pei often followed the emperor and the crown prince before he became a vassal, but he has not been there since he became a vassal.

Hearing what the emperor said, Zhao Yuxian, who thought that he could stay with the prince for a few more days, nodded vigorously and said, "Okay." ”

"We will leave early the day after tomorrow, so you can go back and rest today." The emperor said.

The crown prince and King Pei immediately went to Qingxin Villa to see Empress Jingzhuang.

Originally, he came back to visit Queen Jingzhuang, but he had to spend most of his time on other things, and Zhao Yuxian, the king of Pei, was quite reluctant to go, so he chatted with Queen Jingzhuang for a long time this night.

"When the time comes, you will go directly back to the domain from the Longhua Hunting Ground, right?" Empress Jingzhuang looked at him and asked.

Zhao Yuxian nodded.

"When the time comes, you can go back with confidence, don't worry about me, I feel much better now." Empress Jingzhuang said, holding his hand.

"Okay." Zhao Yuxian nodded again, suddenly his eyes were a little hot, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug Queen Jingzhuang and said, "Queen Mother...... Although your child knows that you have a lot of worries on your mind, I still hope that you can relax, after all, the body is the most important thing. ”

Empress Jingzhuang patted him on the back and said, "I know, don't worry, Xian'er." ”

While the two were talking, the crown prince Zhao Yuliang came in with the medicinal soup he had made himself.

Empress Jingzhuang separated from Zhao Yuxian and talked to Zhao Yuliang with a smile.

The mother and son chatted for a while.

The sun was slanting in the west, and the crown prince Zhao Yuliang said to Zhao Yuxian, the king of Pei: "Brother will come to the East Palace tonight for a walk?" ”

"You don't say I'm going too." Zhao Yuxian said.

The two brothers then bid farewell to Empress Jingzhuang and returned to the East Palace in a carriage.

Wen Yingsu had seen King Pei once from afar, so when King Pei came in, she immediately understood his identity.

She curtsied at him.

King Pei usually doesn't pay much attention to these palace maids, but when he swept his gaze over Wen Yingsu's face today, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and at the same time, he couldn't help but fix his eyes on her.

Wen Ying hurriedly lowered her head slightly to avoid his gaze and thought to herself - judging from Pei Wang's eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, he should not be a simple character.

But he is full of peace, and he probably won't be so bad, right?

Wen Yingsu hurriedly served them refreshments with Yaoxue.

King Pei looked around and said, "There has been no hostess in the East Palace for several years, shouldn't Your Highness consider the issue of establishing a crown princess?" ”

Zhao Yuliang was making tea, and when he heard the words, he replied unhurriedly: "When the time is right, it will naturally stand." ”

Zhao Yuxian approached him a little and asked, "What kind of timing do you want?" ”

The prince smiled again and replied, "That's to tease you, but I don't really want to think about it." ”

"Don't you want to have children of your own sooner? My family is now pregnant with their third child. ”

The crown prince raised his eyes and looked at King Pei and asked, "The princess is pregnant again?" When was this? ”

"I didn't know until the beginning of this month that I was conceived shortly after returning from the full moon wine of the four emperor brothers." Zhao Yuxian said, it was difficult to hide the joy on his face.

The prince hurriedly congratulated, and did not forget to quip: "Your second child seems to be only ten months old now, right?" ”

The second child is less than a year old and there is a third child, which is indeed a little faster.

Zhao Yuxian said a little embarrassed: "We didn't sleep in the same room during the time when I went back to Beijing with her to participate in the full moon wine of the Four Emperor Brothers, so it is inevitable that we will think about it more...... After I went back, I **** night and night...... So she got pregnant very quickly. He touched the Buddha beads on his hand and said, "Although I have taken vows in many things, I can't do anything about this matter, I love her very much, and I can't help it when we are together...... You're a man anyway, you know. ”

The prince smiled and nodded.

Zhao Yuxian seemed to think of something again, and asked Zhao Yuliang: "Then again, don't you have six ladies?" They've been following you for two or three years, right? Why don't you move your stomach? ”

Hearing this, Wen Yingsu unconsciously pricked up her ears, and Zhao Yuliang also raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Wen Yingsu.

Wen Yingsu saw him looking at herself, and her face turned red. She turned her head away.

Zhao Yuliang coughed lightly, leaned close to Zhao Yuxian's ear and said.

Because Zhao Yuliang's voice was extremely low, Wen Yingsu didn't hear it clearly, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Zhao Yuxian heard Bi Zhao Yuliang give a thumbs up and said, "Your Highness is still thoughtful." ”

The prince smiled slightly, turned to Yao Xue and said, "Go and let the kitchen make some osmanthus cakes and mochi." ”

These two things were King Pei's favorites, and the prince always remembered them.

Yaoxue hurriedly took the order to do it.

Wen Yingsu saw that the tea in their teapot was about to run out, so she retreated and went to the pantry on the side to boil the water.

Seeing that there were no idle people in the house, Zhao Yuxian stared at the prince and asked, "Fang is more petite, and the palace maid looks like a Peugeot." ”

The prince only laughed silently.

"In my opinion, none of your ladies are as good as her."

"Brother Mo doesn't have a crush on her?" The prince quipped.

Zhao Yuxian waved his hand again and again, looked at Zhao Yuliang and said meaningfully: "I will not take away the loved ones, especially His Royal Highness." ”

"What do you mean by that, brother?" The prince asked with a smile.

"I can see it just now - she likes you, and you like her." Zhao Yuxian replied in a low voice.

The prince smiled and asked after a while, "How do you say this?" ”

"She didn't even look at my face when she poured me tea, but she looked at you several times when she poured you tea. When I asked about your six ladies, she reacted very nervously, and you were also a little nervous, and you couldn't help but look at each other at that time. Also, she blushes when you look at her. ”

The prince sneered, noncommittal.

Zhao Yuxian said in a harmonious voice: "If you really like it, then accept her as a lady, anyway, there are no such examples in the first dynasty." ”

The prince tapped his right hand on the table, pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "She can't be my lady yet." ”

Zhao Yuxian was about to ask why Shi Wenyingsu walked in with hot water. Zhao Yuxian hurriedly stopped. (To be continued.) )
