"Your Majesty! Think again! A person who didn't go to suppress the bandits is now openly accepting the reward! What do you want the rest of your retainers to think!? The Seventh Prince saw that his old ministers had slandered the prince, and it was almost time for him to take action, so he came out and said with some righteous indignation.

The emperor was puzzled when he thought of his courtiers, but he didn't expect that even the Seventh Prince, who listened to him very much on weekdays, was not convinced.

So the emperor stroked his beard, and then said: "In this matter, your prince brother is very concerned about the suppression of bandits, and he has helped the third prince a lot, is there anything wrong with me rewarding him!?" ”

Suddenly, everyone saw that the emperor's voice became higher, and suddenly no one dared to say that it was not, leaving the seven princes alone to stand in the center of the main hall and accept the scrutiny of everyone's eyes.

When Tuoba Heng saw this scene, the corners of his mouth were gently hooked, and there was a kind of peace in his heart that he had never felt before.

The Seventh Prince snorted angrily, and then replied busily: "Don't dare, Erchen doesn't dare to question it." ”

The emperor saw that the Seven Princes were speechless, and the anger in his heart was slightly extinguished.

"That's it! Retreat! I'm tired! The emperor gave an order, and the eunuchs shouted loudly to retreat from the court, and the civil and military officials bowed very politely and then dispersed.

The emperor has just had a good dragon body recently, so he is very interested in going out for a walk, and it just so happened that the weather was still good on this day, so he instructed Gonggong Su beside him to prepare Luan to go to Concubine Yang's palace for a turn.

Father-in-law Su responded happily, it happened that he hadn't visited Concubine Yang for a few days, and the emperor should be happy to have this interest, so Father-in-law Su immediately asked someone to follow the emperor to get on the Luan car and go to Concubine Yang's palace.

When they arrived at Concubine Yang's palace, the little eunuch was about to pass the word, but the emperor ordered them not to tell Concubine Yang about his arrival, and the emperor wanted to surprise Concubine Yang, so he didn't let his subordinates report, but secretly walked into the palace.

At first glance, Concubine Yang didn't know that the emperor was coming, and she was still treating her injuries according to the prescription secretly prescribed by the imperial physician, and applying a medicine patch to the affected area on her face.

At this time, her little eunuch rushed into the house in a hurry, and then looked at Concubine Yang with a very ugly face and said to Concubine Yang: "Concubine Yang is not good!" ”

Concubine Yang looked at him anxiously and didn't ask anything, but the door of the main hall behind the little eunuch was opened suddenly.

A bright yellow dress appeared in the doorway, and he followed the light to glance inside and walked in quickly.

Worst! Concubine Yang shouted in her heart that it was not good, but the appearance on her face was very ugly, and she didn't know what to do with the plaster, and the emperor happened to have his eyes on her face at this time.

When the emperor took a look, he saw a woman with a swollen face and a plaster on her face sitting on the soft floor where Concubine Yang usually sits, and at this moment she happened to be staring at him.

"Your Majesty, why are you here!?" Concubine Yang was anxious for a while, and immediately blessed the emperor.

The emperor was still wondering who this person was, but when he saw that her movements and figure were exactly the same as Concubine Yang, he immediately determined that this woman was his concubine, Concubine Yang.

The emperor was immediately furious, he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for half a month, this Concubine Yang actually made her face look like a pig's head, and dared to live in this palace, and as soon as he came to see her, she was embarrassed to call herself Concubine Yang, and called him Your Majesty.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, this disgraced woman, who had completely lost her proper appearance by making her face like this, and now calling her Concubine Yang, the emperor felt that she was disgusting, how could he like such a woman who was unblessed and had an ugly face full of pimples.

The emperor was angry, his eyes were bloodshot for a moment, and then he looked at her stupidly before he spoke: "You are Concubine Yang!?" Are you lying!? ”

Concubine Yang saw that the emperor was angry, her face was full of anger, and she immediately didn't dare to speak up, thinking of the hardships she had suffered for this face in the past two days, she couldn't help but shed tears sadly.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness! Concubine Yang, she didn't mean to scare you like this. "Or the eunuch beside Concubine Yang on the side saw that His Majesty was already angry, if he didn't intercede again, it was estimated that Concubine Yang's fate would be very miserable.

When the personal palace maid saw the eunuch pleading, she immediately reacted, and immediately knelt down to kowtow to the emperor to ask for guilt.

"The emperor forgives her sins, Concubine Yang Niangniang she accidentally ate something sent from the queen's palace, so her face will give birth to such a look, the imperial doctor said, as long as her face will be restored to the same as before, Your Majesty, you spare Niangniang! She really didn't mean to do this. The personal palace maid cried and trembled her shoulders, and knelt loudly in front of the emperor and pleaded.

The emperor was angry, glared at the palace maid angrily, and then glanced at Concubine Yang with an indifferent look in his eyes, and then said: "Bastard, who let you speak ill of the queen nonsense!?" Spread my will, Concubine Yang was immoral, she accidentally ate something and caused disfigurement, I punished her to be grounded for a month, and she could not leave the palace until the injuries on her face were all healed! ”

Suddenly, when Gonggong Su saw that the emperor was angry, he immediately signaled a grandmother next to him to come forward and pull this personal palace maid aside to slap her mouth.

The emperor strode away, Concubine Yang was frightened and waited for her face to fully recover, didn't it take a long time!? What is the difference between that and being locked in the cold palace Suddenly Concubine Yang burst into tears, and then suddenly rushed to the feet of the emperor who walked to the door of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, you have spared your concubines! The concubines were wronged, and some of them deliberately wanted to send me such cold and poisonous food! Your Majesty, don't go, you have to administer justice for your concubines! Concubine Yang cried while holding the emperor's feet and crying loudly.

When the emperor saw her face, he felt disgusted and very unhappy, so he moved his leg that was pressed by her, and then said, "Concubine Yang, do you still think that your appearance can serve me!?" Don't look in the mirror to see how you look now! I'm already very polite and merciful if I don't send you to the cold palace, so you'd better not expect anything more. ”

As soon as Concubine Yang heard the emperor's words, and looked at herself with eyes full of mustard, she no longer had the feeling of affection and honey in the past, and suddenly Concubine Yang only felt a cold feeling like falling into an ice cave, and she unconsciously let go of the hand that was holding the emperor tightly.

The emperor immediately raised his feet and left Concubine Yang's palace.

"Drive the Kunning Palace." The emperor's voice came from a short distance outside the hall, and suddenly Concubine Yang's heart hurt as if it was torn, and she lay on the ground and cried bitterly for a long time.

In this palace, a woman's appearance is everything, how can a talented and good-looking woman get the emperor's sincerity? Concubine Yang only now feels how stupid and stupid she is, delusional that the emperor can remember the old love without imprisoning her, after all, it is her wishful thinking.

It is estimated that the only woman the emperor has in mind now is the queen, and there is no Concubine Yang in her heart.

The personal palace maid came back from corporal punishment, and her face was also swollen from being beaten, and the palace maid immediately rushed to Concubine Yang's side and helped her up.

Concubine Yang had no choice but to get up crying and sit on the side alone.

Li time, the news that Concubine Yang fell out of favor in the palace and was grounded spread everywhere, the Seven Princes fell out of favor because they collided with the emperor's decision in the main hall, and it was rumored that his mother's disgrace scared the emperor and fell out of favor, because of these two things, the power of the Seven Princes in the court suddenly dimmed.

The next morning, the emperor remembered that he still had something important to announce, so the court read out the reward for Tuoba Heng.

"The three princes Tuoba Heng has made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits, and I remember his hard work, and I specially awarded the title of the third prince King Qin, and rewarded five thousand taels of silver."

As soon as the emperor's words fell, a burst of applause suddenly sounded in the hall, and many people were congratulating Tuoba Heng and saying that he really had a rare achievement today.

Tuoba Heng walked up to the front of the main hall and immediately knelt down, and then said, "The son has thanked his father for the reward. ”

"Alright, you go down, I have one more thing to announce." The emperor was full of satisfied smiles.

The emperor glanced at Tuoba Heng and the courtiers, and then continued: "I heard that this time in the army, Su Cimo and Yang Baihao, students of the Beijing Normal Academy, helped a lot in the army, and the military advisor said that Su Cimo repeatedly came up with many strange tricks to help the three princes repeatedly achieve miraculous feats, and Yang Baihao led troops to support the army to attack a gang of thousands of bandits on Cuiyun Mountain. I was really pleased in my heart, and rewarded Su Cimo and Yang Baihao for being promoted to the supervision of the Internal Affairs Office, and then promoted in the future. ”

Su Cimo and Yang Baihao are not in the court, so this time the rewards of the two of them can only be known through Tuoba Heng.

Tuoba Heng knew etiquette very well, and immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to bow to the emperor and said: "Erchen thanked the emperor for the two students, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Hahahaha." The emperor immediately nodded and laughed out loud.

"Well, it seems that these two are very good friends with my son! I am very happy, in the future, people like this can be introduced to the imperial court, and the imperial court also needs these fresh blood to maintain a steady stream of vitality. The emperor said these words happily for a while.

Tuoba Heng raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the emperor, and then he thought of Song Bibai, he also put forward a lot of pertinent opinions when he came to the army, and Song Bibai's intelligence is not under Su Cimo and Yang Baihao, and the relationship between the three is very good, if this time he only rewarded Su Cimo and Yang Baihao, and only did not reward Song Bibai, then I don't know how Song Bibai would think about Tuoba Heng behind his back, maybe he would think that he deliberately did not give him a reward.

"Yes!" The courtiers replied to the emperor's words.

"Your Majesty, there is one more person to recommend your son!" Tuoba Heng took advantage of the fact that he had not yet retreated, and the emperor happened to ask about it, and immediately shouted to the emperor.

As soon as the emperor heard this, he was immediately interested, so he said, "Oh!? Who are you recommending, and why? ”
