It turned out that Zhao Zhen heard that Fan Yu had entered the palace to meet the two queen mothers, so he also came over to have a look.

Fan Yu went to Liao this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return in a short time. Zhao Zhen came here to see off Fan Yu.

As a result, Zhao Zhen had just entered Cining Palace, but found that the two ladies stared at him with a little blame.

Fan Yu and Princess Huanyu saluted Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, it's all a family in private, so it doesn't have to be so cumbersome." ”

"Xie Guan's family." Fan Yu and Huanyu thanked them.

Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth and said, "Official, why did you send Yu'er to Liao. You are an elder brother, how can you treat your brother-in-law like this. At this time, Yu'er and Huanyu were newly married for only a few days. One is your brother-in-law, the other is your sister-in-law, how can you keep them apart for so many days. Don't say whether there is any danger in going to Liao, just say that you let the newlyweds separate, and it is already a little wrong. ”

Zhao Zhen was questioned by his biological mother like this, and he couldn't help but speak, so he turned his eyes for help to Empress Dowager Yang.

Empress Dowager Yang saw that the official family couldn't answer, so she said to the Empress Dowager Li: "Sister don't be angry with the official family, the official family asked Yu'er to go to Liao, and also let him contribute to state affairs." There are many ministers in the DPRK and China, presumably there is no suitable candidate like Yu'er. ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, big lady, no one is more suitable than An Lehou." ”

Princess Huanyu wanted to say something, but she was a sister of an official family, and she was not senior enough to speak. Therefore, Princess Huanyu could only pout and get angry.

"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and I haven't seen anyone take it less when I received it, but there is no suitable thing for it." Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but say angrily: "The official family looks at the court, which one is younger than Yu'er." Being a mother is not biased towards Yu'er, on the contrary, he can contribute to the country, and his mother will be happy. It's just that I can't get used to those corpse vegetarian people stealing and playing tricks, I'm afraid that Yu'er will come back with a meritorious service, and these people will still talk nonsense. If the court is full of people who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, what is the use of the official family to support them. ”

Zhao Zhen was a little embarrassed on his face, and he regretted it even more in his heart, he shouldn't have listened to Lu Yijian's words and asked An Lehou to envoy to Liao. It's just that the matter has been decided, and if it is changed the day before leaving, I am afraid that it will fall into a laughing stock.

Fan Yu saw that his stepmother, Empress Dowager Li, was angry and reprimanded the official family, so he persuaded: "Mother, don't blame the official family, this matter was agreed by the child to the official family." The ministers of the court and the central government have their own things to do, and they are not idlers. The aunt and the official family are not wrong, this time to the Liao State, there are indeed some things that others can do. The child is friendly with Liu Liufu, the Liao envoy, and the official family knows it. Therefore, it is most convenient for children to go to Liao. ”

Zhao Zhen gave Fan Yu an approving look, just when he was not able to say it himself, An Lehou was too timely.

Only then did Empress Dowager Li's expression soften and said, "I think it is Yu'er's meritorious service that she will ask for her life." In this case, the old body is wrong to blame the official. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also a little jealous in his heart. How could his biological mother love An Lehou so much, which made him a little psychologically unbalanced.

"The eldest lady doesn't have to be like this, it's really the child who can't explain it clearly, and I can't complain about the eldest lady." Zhao Zhen had no choice but to laugh.

Fan Yu saw that his stepmother was no longer angry, so he bowed to Zhao Zhen and said: "When the minister entered the palace this time, he met the two queen mothers and the official family, and bid farewell to the official family and the two queen mothers. Early tomorrow morning, we will go north to the land of the swallows. Therefore, if I think it will be less than one month or more than two months, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the official family and the two queen mothers. ”

"The hasty appointment of this time has made you feel wronged." Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "You are the deputy envoy of the Liao State this time, if there is something to do, you must be the main envoy, don't easily overstep your authority." With Duan Qing's steady and good argumentation, he will be fine with you. You're still young, so you can see more and learn more. If there is anything unclear, you can ask Duan Qing for advice, presumably he will not refuse. And that Liu Liufu, you also have to ask more about the domestic situation in Liao from his mouth. ”

Fan Yu said in his heart, that section of Shaolian had been driven away by himself, and he didn't want to see him all the way. As for asking a rotten Confucian, that's anyway.

But what he said in his mouth was: "What the official said is that if there is anything difficult, the minister will definitely ask Duan Zhige for advice." That Liu Liufu is familiar with the government of Liao, and the ministers will also keep an eye on him. ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it, and finally felt that he had gone too far with Fan Yu. was newly married, and was sent to Liao, and in front of the two queen mothers, he couldn't help but express it.

"Chen Lin, order someone to take a hundred taels of silver and reward it to An Lehou, thinking that he is paying for his journey." Zhao Zhen said.

"Officials, ministers don't need it." Fan Yu hurriedly conceded: "The use of the envoy to the Liao State has its own burden from the imperial court. The officials have always been frugal, and they have just withdrawn a large sum of money, so they should not reward me again. ”

The words of the official family have been exported, so it is golden. Although Zhao Zhen was a little heartbroken when he heard Fan Yu's words, he still wanted the face of this official family and couldn't take it back.

"The burden of the court belongs to the court, and I, as your brother, will reward you with some silver taels, which is a little of my heart, so as to strengthen your deeds. If you accept it, don't refuse. Zhao Zhen's face sank deliberately, as if reprimanded.

But in Zhao Zhen's heart, he felt that An Lehou still understood himself. I have been thinking about my frugality, and it is worth it to have this heart, and this silver is not wronged.

Zhao Zhen finally gave a banquet, and in Cining Palace, the whole family used a reunion dinner.

When I returned to the palace from the palace, it was already dark. Because they set off the next day, Fan Yu and his wife also rested early.

Princess Huanyu couldn't sleep, staring at the roof with two big eyes.

"Husband, how long you are going to go this time, there is a certain number." Princess Huanyu asked.

Fan Yu closed his eyes and said in a daze: "Who knows, it's one month shorter, and two months longer." The envoy to Nanjing, Liao State, will be nearly a month round trip. If you can't go and come back, wouldn't that be child's play? If there is no accident, when a few days have passed in Liao, they will return. ”

"In this case, wouldn't the husband have to live in the Liao Kingdom for a month and a half?" Princess Huanyu complained.

Fan Yu opened his eyes, looked at Princess Huanyu and said, "What, is this a long time?" Jingyi, if you are lonely in the house, you can move to the palace to live for a while. When I come back, I'll take you home. ”

Princess Huanyu nodded sullenly and said, "That's okay, but you have to come back earlier." ”

Fan Yu stretched out his arms and hugged Princess Huanyu and said: "This is nature, the Liao Kingdom is freezing and snowy, but what is there to live in." If it's all right, I'll be back as soon as possible. ”

"By the way, husband, I heard that although the Liao country is cold, the women there are enthusiastic and unrestrained. And the women of the northern country are tall, with long legs and skin as white as ice and snow, do you say yes? Princess Huanyu said suddenly.

"Hahaha, Jingyi, who did you listen to." Fan Yu couldn't help but ring the alarm bell in his heart, but said in his mouth: "This is just a rumor, in fact, the north is windy, sandy, and cold. Compared with the south, most women have rough skin, but there are few white. ”

Princess Huanyu smiled and said, "In this way, the husband has experienced a southern woman?" ”

Fan Yu's brows furrowed, can he still speak well.

"No, husband, I'm still young, where do I have so much knowledge." Fan Yu hurriedly shook his head and denied it.

"I don't care, my husband wants to be filial today!" The jade princess is wrapped around like a snake.

Fan Yu couldn't cry or laugh, who was filial piety to him, but his body was very unproductive.
