In the palace, several eunuchs and palace maids who followed the royal car were busy packing up their things, the battle was over, the western Xinjiang was pacified, and the general of Zhenxi, Rong Shuo, continued to guard Xiliang City after being crowned, and the emperor should also return to Luan.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yue is here, waiting outside, and Concubine Yue's younger brother Rong Zhao is coming." Zhang Wanshou replied in a low voice.

The emperor, who was leaning on the wolf's skin mattress and watching the folds, closed the folds in his hand and said with a smile: "Come in." ”

"Yes." Zhang Wanshou bowed in response, turned around and went out, and it didn't take long to lure Rong Yue and Rong Zhao sisters and brothers in.

"The courtier Rong Yue (Chen, Rong Zhao) See Majesty Xià, Majesty Xi à Long Live!" Rong Yue and Rong Zhao staggered one step after the other, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor together.

The emperor saw that today's Rong Yue was wearing a long skirt embroidered with white plum blossoms today, with a short jacket embroidered with moon white embroidered hibiscus, which was different from the heroic posture of the sword dance last night, but had another gentle temperament, and he liked it even more for a while, so he got up and stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said gently: "Get up." This concubine's decree has been passed down, and you should change your words. ”

Rong Yue lowered her head and smiled gently, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Rong Yue is grateful." It's just that this canonization gift is not yet complete, and Rong Yue does not dare to transgress recklessly. Please also ask for forgiveness. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I saw you heroic yesterday, and you were only a straight person, but now it seems that although you were born in the northwest and grew up in a military general's family, you are also a very educated woman." ”

"Emperor Xie's false praise, these are all taught by Rong Yue's mother." Rong Yue replied gently.

The emperor pulled Rong Yue to sit on the low couch where he was resting, patted her hand with satisfaction and said, "Well, your mother is good, when I return to Beijing, I will tell the queen that I will give your mother a life." ”

Rong Yue hurriedly got up and bowed slowly: "Rong Yue Xie Xi à Longen." ”

Seeing this, Rong Zhao also hurriedly knelt down and thanked him together.

"Get up." The emperor stretched out his hand towards Rong Yue again.

"Your Majesty, please forgive Rong Yue for being presumptuous, Rong Yue has another request." Rong Yue knelt on the ground and didn't get up.

"Oh?" The emperor's face paused, and he said, "What kind of request, let's hear it." ”

"Your Majesty, you must know something about the situation of our family. Rong Yue's mother has been sick in bed for many years, and Rong Yue has been serving by her side all these years, and now Rong Yue is naturally grateful to be able to serve by the emperor's side, but Rong Yue's heart really can't let go of her sick mother and weak brother. Rong Yue said, her voice choked, and her eyes turned red.

"You are really a person who values love and righteousness, and I am very relieved." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

Rong Yue said, kowtowed again, and said: "So, Rong Yue is brave, please give your majesty another gift, please make an order to make my brother Rong Yue the prince, so that Rong Yue can leave home and enter the palace to serve the emperor with peace of mind." ”

"Your younger brother is General Rong's son-in-law, why can't he be the son of the world?" The emperor said, looked up and asked Zhang Wanshou next to him: "What about General Rong?" ”

Zhang Wanshou hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, General Rong is rectifying military affairs, and I came here in the morning, when His Majesty was still sleeping, the general said that there was nothing important, so he didn't dare to disturb the emperor." ”

"Well, send someone to announce him." The emperor said.

"The minions obey." Zhang Wanshou promised to turn around and go out.

The emperor glanced at the two sisters and brothers kneeling on the ground again, and suddenly smiled: "Speaking of which, Yue'er, your brother is five points similar to you." ”

"Your Majesty's eyes are blazing, and Rong Yue and Zhao'er's eyebrows and eyes are like our mothers. It's just that Zhao'er is a man's family, and he has more manly spirit than Rong Yue. Rong Yue chuckled.

"Well, indeed." The emperor glanced at Rong Zhao again, and said with a smile: "What? Your sister praises you for being a man, but you're here like a chicken? ”

"Zhao'er?" Rong Yue looked at Rong Zhao's stunned appearance, and also reminded him in a low voice.

Rong Zhao was shocked by Rong Yue's sudden proposal to make himself the son of the world, originally he was thinking of finding an opportunity to tell the emperor that he wanted to take someone to send his sister to the capital, but he didn't expect Rong Yue to say this first, and he was caught off guard for a while and was thinking about countermeasures, but he didn't expect those two people to pull the conversation on his head. So he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was just thinking that my sister is going to enter the palace as a concubine, should the minister, as a younger brother, prepare a few decent congratulatory gifts to congratulate my sister." ”

"Huh! You have a heart. The emperor was very satisfied when he heard this, patted Rong Yue's hand and praised: "Your younger brother is a careful person, not like a child of a military general's family." ”

"What the emperor said is that compared with the eldest brother and second brother in the family, Zhao'er is indeed squeamish. It's really because he almost lost his life when he was a child, and his mother has been pampering him since then. He's a little masculine compared to this woman, but he's a little feminine compared to the other two men in the family. ”

"The photo book says that boys, girls and girls are all blessings. Therefore, your younger brother will definitely be a blessed person in the future, and you, as a sister, should not worry too much about him. The emperor smiled.

"The emperor is the true dragon emperor, and Rong Yue is naturally convinced of your words." Rong Yue said busily.

"Well, you can just believe me." When the emperor heard this, he immediately felt that his whole body was comfortable.

Rong Zhao had long felt that it was redundant for him to stand here, and at this time he finally found a chance to speak, so he knelt down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has something to discuss with his brother, so please step down first." ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "When I came back from the battlefield a few days ago, I remember that the imperial guards captured a lot of high-quality furs from the enemy camp, so go and pick out some of your favorite ones to make winter clothes." It's only September, and Xiliang City is the same as winter. ”

"Thank you for your majesty's reward, and the minister will retire." Rong Zhao kowtowed again to thank him, and then followed a eunuch out to the warehouse next to him to pick furs.

In fact, Rong Zhao didn't care much about furs, what he really cared about was the precious medicinal materials that the emperor's imperial guards captured from the Qiangrong tribe. He has been thinking about this for more than a day or two, but he has never had a chance, so he just took the opportunity to take a look at the fur at this time, and if he needed it, he could find a way to get it.

Rong Shuo, who went to deal with military affairs, was soon summoned to the palace by Zhang Wanshou, and the emperor happened to talk to Rong Yue for a while, and drank a few cups of tea brewed by her, and was in a good mood. Seeing Rong Shuo speak, he was also very kind: "Rong Qing! I will return to Beijing in the near future, and I want to take Yue'er with me. Yue'er still has one more thing on her mind, and I will give you a will today. ”

"Your Majesty has orders, and the minister dare not obey." Rong Shuo bowed and bowed.

The emperor smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I know that you have three sons, the eldest son and the second son are all from the lord of Linyang, and the third son is from your wife Ye family." Now that you have the position of marquis, you will be the son of the prince after the title of marquis. Although it is your family affair to establish a son, in my opinion, the third child of your family is very sensible, although he is still young, but with more experience, he will definitely be better than you in the future, just ...... Make him a son. ”

Rong Shuo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he picked up his robe and knelt down to thank him: "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty." ”
