Chapter 24: Peace
To be honest, what I am happiest now is because of the news of the third brother.
Since the mark of the third brother has been found, it proves that the person is fine.
It's best if you're fine, but in fact, I don't think it's okay to have less arms and legs. I just don't know what happened to the princess of the Huns.
My eyes were a little solemn, I was afraid that the Hun princess was more auspicious, if the third brother could take her when he could escape, it would be good. What would happen if the Hun princess died, or stayed in the mountain bandits' den...... That's really tricky.
When I returned to Chonghua Palace and lay in bed, I began to think about what had happened for so long.
The person behind the Sun Miaohua incident has not been found yet, what is her purpose? Is it a plot to murder the emperor's heir? So why is Wang Meiren safe and sound?
If she only went to Sun Miaohua, why didn't I remember that she had offended anyone in particular.
Or maybe because Wang Meiren did that incident, her child is safe and sound. But what does Wang Meiren have to do with Li Shangshu's distant nephew? I never saw through this layer
And Zhifei's problem is also very tricky, she doesn't want to be close to Jiu Lan at all. I began to wonder, is Jiulan treating her badly?
Why is she so resistant to kissing? I even think that she stayed in my palace for some purpose, but what is the purpose?
Hurt me? But she is the person sent by Jiulan, Jiulan has gone to the Huns, what is the use of her staying with me?
Alas, the more I think about it, the more my head hurts, and I have to finalize the name of Wang Meiren's child tomorrow. The third brother and the Xiongnu princess can come back safely, and they will also be escorted to Beijing.
Alas, forget it, tomorrow's business, think about it tomorrow, old lady now, immediately, immediately, to sleep.
The next day, I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs
After several discussions, the name of the eldest princess was finally finalized.
Xiao Mingyan.
Qin Tianjian said that the eldest princess's life is extremely high, and it is best to bring some fireworks in her name. Now her birth can be regarded as the so-called "auspicious omen from heaven", and she needs to bring some fireworks to press down.
Need a "smaller" milk name.
This is in the hands of Wang Meiren, no, she should be called Wang Jieyu now. Wang Jieyu named her breast, Su'er.
Xu means corn, a drop in the ocean, said big or not, said small is not small.
The name of the child's side was finalized, and I began to inquire about the situation on the third brother's side every day.
When I was sitting at the window bored, my head empty, His Majesty suddenly came in with Grandpa Zhang.
He sat across from me with a mysterious and happy face, and I asked him what was wrong.
He said, "Queen, I have good news for you."
I hurriedly asked for some good news! Is there any news from the third brother? How about finding the three? Are you okay?
He smiled mysteriously at me.
Ah, you're laughing, hurry up. "Your Majesty, don't make fun of the concubines anymore, tell the concubines quickly!"
"I set up a circle at the foot of the mountain, thinking that if General Fu could go down the mountain, I would respond in time. Just now came the news that the eight-hundred-mile urgency came, and General Fu found it! ”
I was overjoyed, but I remembered the others, but before I could speak, he stopped me.
"The most important thing is that he also took the princess of the Huns, although both of them were injured, but they came back with all beards and tails"
Oh my God, the Hun princess is also back, does that mean that there will be no more war?
"Now it is important to get them to Beijing as soon as possible, and I have already sent the minister to pick up General Fu in person. The garrison of Jiangguan Valley will also send them to the capital. ”
"Fu Shoufu and Mrs. Fu, I have told you that the queen does not have to worry."
Oh my God, great, this is simply the best news I've ever heard! Could it be that Xiao'er is really a little lucky star? As soon as she gave birth to her third brother, there was news, and I hurriedly thought in my mind, I have some precious gifts here, and I must send them to Wang Jieyu quickly.
I jumped up and down happily, not knowing what to do, and when I looked back at him, he was there with his head propped up and smiling at me.
"Is the queen happy?"
"Of course the concubine is happy, this is a matter of good fortune for the concubine's family, the country and His Majesty, what's wrong with the concubine's happiness?"
He slapped his thigh, "Then in order to celebrate General Fu's return, why don't you hold a banquet in your palace tonight?" ”
There's no need to have a banquet, right? That's too much fanfare
I thought about it and said, "Your Majesty still doesn't need to hold a banquet, when the third brother comes back, it's not too late for Your Majesty to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him."
He pretended to think about it and said, "Then there will be no banquet, tonight to celebrate the return of General Fu, I have a good drink at your place, how about it?" ”
Have a drink at my place...... What kind of? You usually want to come to me and drink with me, what can I stop you?
"It's better to be respectful than to obey, the concubine is waiting for Your Majesty tonight."
Am I sick? Why not reject him? Forget it, since it's a celebration of the third brother's safety, it doesn't hurt to have a few drinks with him, maybe he can't drink me?
He smiled and walked away.
I don't do this kind of thing, just order the imperial dining room and the small kitchen, and my mind is full of good news about the third brother's return.
Zhiyu said to me, "Great, I'll just say it, the third young master will definitely be fine!" ”
Alas, if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, I hope that the third brother can really come back this time, as His Majesty said, stay in Beijing for more time and find me a third sister-in-law.
————
The gin bottle of the god is eliminated, and the incense burner shines on the soul.
Hazy came back to his senses, and I had been drinking with him several times. The dishes were almost eaten, and several pots of wine had been drunk.
I looked at the smiling man in front of me, and suddenly felt how good it would be if he wasn't the queen, he wasn't His Majesty.
"What's wrong? Why did the queen drink with a melancholy face? General Fu is back, you should be happy."
"The concubine suddenly felt that this was the first time the concubine had drunk with His Majesty, and then the wine found that His Majesty seemed to be happier today than usual, is it because of the third brother?"
He shook his wine glass, looked up at the night sky, and said, "The safety of General Fu and Princess Hun can be regarded as part of the reason!" With that, he put the wine glass on the table and made a crunching sound.
He looked at me with a smile, as if there were a thousand layers of deep meaning in his eyes. I don't know what he meant by that look.
"Queen, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you." He spoke softly.
I looked up at him and motioned for him to continue.
"Queen, what kind of existence am I in your heart?"
Hearing this, my drunken spirit immediately sobered up, and I suddenly realized that this might be a problem that tested me.
What kind of presence is he to me? Actually, I don't even know it myself.
I thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is the husband of your concubines, the Son of Heaven of our dynasty, the supreme king admired by all people, and Your Majesty's talent is brilliant. In the hearts of the concubines, you are an honest and honest Majesty, and you are also a Majesty who loves the people like a son, and you are even more ...... Your Majesty who doesn't stick to the subsections. ”
Actually, I just wanted to say that he is a majesty who is not confined to love.
He sat up suddenly, leaned back in his chair, his hand shaking his glass, and looked at me with a dissatisfied look on his face. Did I say something wrong?
He stared at me for a long time, and when he looked a little hairy at me, he looked down and smiled softly.
"Looks like I'm not doing enough."
"What's not enough?"
Not big enough? Not diligent enough? Or what?
He didn't answer my question, he raised his glass at me, and I had to raise my hand to give him a glass.
As the saying goes, wine and meat are sad, but at the moment, I only have the idea of being happy, and I don't have much of it.
So does he have any melancholy?
I saw that he felt that His Majesty was a little drunk, and I actually blessed her, "Your Majesty's time is not early, do you want to ......?"
He waved his hand and said that he would stay in my palace tonight, and it would be okay to drink more.
He said so, what else could I do? I had to sit down again, watch him quietly, and wait for him to speak first.
He tapped his finger on the table, "What does the Empress have of thoughts about the upcoming peace ceremony?" ”
"The concubine thinks that now that the princess is safe, she must be escorted to Beijing to take care of her carefully in the past few days After such a long time, the princess card must have been frightened. At the same time, the Xiongnu were ordered to escort a mission, and General Han was transferred to the north, and the new mission was escorted into Beijing by the north. The pro-pro ceremony proceeded as usual. ”
"The concubine went to the Ministry of Rites, and normally it should be a banquet first, and then the banquet should last for two days, and the princess was sent to the palace on the first night. The next day, Jiulan left Beijing for the Xiongnu. In the two days of this back and forth, where was the Xiongnu mission placed? Who cares for it? Are there any travel restrictions? It's all big questions. ”
"The queen and I thought about going together, I have already thought about it, on the first day, the Hun princess arrived, and there was no objection to this process. When the mission enters Beijing, it is good to find a palace to arrange, and there is no restriction on travel, but we must follow our own people when traveling, and we will never let them have any opportunity to contact others.
"As for Kuran...... Watching her go to the ceremony to finish putting on her makeup, she was forcibly sent to her, that is, if she said something crazy, she directly plugged her mouth with a cloth. ”
Tsk tsk, worthy of the emperor, it's really ruthless, but it's still quite to my liking. The thought of her mouth makes me die of annoyance.
In this way, there is no link that I need to think about anymore, and I can leave other complicated matters to the Ministry of Rites.
"One more thing, Your Majesty."
"Say."
"The palace maid who was sent to the concubine's palace before. Well, it's the one who danced that day...... She didn't really want to kiss her. ”
"It doesn't matter if she wants to or not? Can't you just order her to go? Send her directly to Jiu Lan and let her go to the Huns with Jiu Lan. I didn't know that the queen was such a benevolent person, why did she have to ask the opinion of a palace maid? ”
"The concubine felt that she was not normal, and it stands to reason that if she was a bystander, the concubine thought that she should want to go to the Huns more, but she showed that she attached great importance to the concubine and wanted to stay in the palace of the concubine. The concubine was puzzled. ”
He smiled with his wine glass and took a sip, "Maybe someone brought a mission to your palace." ”
I thought for a moment and said, "What mission can I bring?" Do you harm your concubines? But the concubine only assigned her to do some special ordinary work in the outer courtyard, and she didn't even have the opportunity to see other people, and she also found someone to watch her, what other opportunities could she have? ”
Unexpectedly, he suddenly fell on the table, so close to me, so close that my heart began to pound.
The next moment, he actually lightly tapped my nose with his hand and said, "The queen is so stupid, others are sincerely hiding from you, when you want to do something, can you still watch her?" ”
This action made me stunned, is he crazy? Did he drink too much?! He's too bad for drinking, why is he tapping my nose with his hand? No, I can't stand it!
I got up and saluted him indiscriminately, saying, "Your Majesty's concubine is not strong enough to drink, and the concubine will go to rest first, you... You can find a local store and live wherever you want. ”
With that, I ran back to the dormitory.
