The screams continued into the early hours of the next morning.

As the day dawned, His Majesty and our group returned to our usual palace complex, feeling as if we had returned from hell to earth.

"The queen hasten back and rested. Today, General Fu and the Huns entered Beijing, and you were asked to deal with it for me. He said calmly.

I looked at him worriedly, his eyes were bloodshot, and the blackness and tiredness in his eyes made me feel uneasy. I wanted to persuade him a few words, but I opened my mouth but I didn't say it after all, only one word remained, and the concubine retired.

Back in the palace, tossing and turning, lying on the collapse and unable to sleep. After a night like this, I didn't feel sleepy at all.

I got up and called Zhiyu in.

"Niangniang is scared?" Zhiyu leaned down and whispered softly to me.

She held a small lamp, and the light was warm, and I felt a trace of warmth.

I patted the seat next to me and motioned for her to come up, she shook her head and was about to excuse herself, I frowned and pouted, and she sat across from me with a smile and looked at me with a caring face.

"Zhiyu, I'm a little scared, I'm not afraid of that kind of scene, I'm a little afraid of that kind of Your Majesty." I buried my head in my arms.

Zhiyu stepped forward and touched my head, after I was reprimanded by my father when I was a child, she also touched my head like this, and said, "Miss, Yu'er is with you." ”

"Niangniang don't be afraid, the slave can see clearly, Your Majesty is different from others."

I smiled, "How can it be different, everyone in the world is the same in his eyes, but I didn't do anything to be sorry for him, and I am his queen, it looks different." ”

Zhiyu sighed, "Niangniang, the slave and maid dare not talk about Your Majesty, but the slave and maid feel that Your Majesty is usually not strict with his subordinates, and he is also lenient with his courtiers. Niangniang will not anger His Majesty, so there is no need to be afraid. ”

I hope so.

I didn't sleep, and the next day His Majesty announced that he was ill, and that I and the Ministry of Rites were responsible for everything the princess entered Beijing today.

I want to wear formal clothes today, and I asked Zhiyu to use makeup powder to press down the blue and black under my eyes, but how haggard I looked, I used more rouge than usual, and my face was more ruddy.

I waited quietly in the palace, ate a small food cushion to make up for it, and asked His Majesty if he got up, Xiao Quanzi said, at the Qinzheng Palace, the door was closed overnight, and it has not been opened yet.

Someone came to report that the princess had entered the gate of the capital, and I got up and stepped on the road and headed towards the palace gate.

As the mother of a country, you must walk upright, sit straight, and bring out a momentum, especially if you are likely to see the Xiongnu princess today, I can't help but put on the shelf again when I think of this.

The backbone courtiers, all of them have arrived, lined up in two rows, His Majesty should have arrived, but he is estimated not to come today, my father is on the side, I am in the center, and next to it is the Ministry of Rites. We stood in the middle, quietly waiting.

Yesterday, the new mission had already joined the third brother princess, and the one who would meet in a while was the entire Hun mission. I couldn't help but be a little worried, afraid that they would come up with some difficult ideas. But I heard my father whisper, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, everything is a father." ”

This sentence calmed my heart like a needle in the sea, and I turned my head to look at my father, smiled, looked back, and looked into the distance.

Here it comes.

Flags fluttered in the distance, and the first to bear the brunt was the flag of our Korean army, led by a man with a tall head. Even though it was far away, even if I hadn't seen it for a long time, I recognized it at a glance that it was the third brother.

I was so excited that I looked behind me, and was followed by a carriage with two pairs of guards on either side of the carriage and the armor was my soldier. Behind the car were the attendants, the Huns, and then behind them were the banners of the Huns.

I only felt the change of the third brother when I walked in, I haven't seen him for a few years, his face has obviously more precipitation over the years, it is much darker, but the lines of his face are a lot more handsome, and his arms are extremely wide, but he is extremely reliable.

There was a bandage on my left arm, thinking that it was a previous injury on the mountain, and I turned my head to look at my eldest brother and father, and I also looked proud.

I'm looking back at my third brother, well, that's good.

His Majesty is also very good-looking, but he is more than handsome, not powerful enough, and looks like a little white face.

Unlike my third brother, he is handsome and extraordinary, and he is a peerless good man at first glance.

I looked at him with a sweet smile, and he also saw me and my father, a little stunned, and then came back to his senses and smiled softly.

I was in a trance.

It's really a thing, he's no longer the hairy boy who took me through the streets and alleys. I'm not a grinning little henchman who follows his ass.

When they walked in front of them, he turned over and dismounted, and said loudly, "Minister, Fu Yiyu, the escort mission is late, I hope Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will forgive you." ”

I smiled and said, "General Fu, please hurry up, Your Majesty is ill today and cannot welcome General Fu back to Beijing, so the special palace will be rewarded as usual." ”

Gonggong Zhang cleared his throat, "Spread His Majesty's will!" ”

We bowed down together, "Your Majesty has a will, Fu Shanyu has a meritorious escort, Yu Sheji has a meritorious service, and I have a meritorious service." The general Fu shirt is known as the Shenwei general, Xu Jingcheng opened the mansion alone, 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and Qin this. ”

I turned my head to look at my father, who looked at me, and we both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

To be honest, I didn't expect this bounty to be so big.

Feng Shenwei general, to give the right to open a separate mansion, that is all required to make military merits. At present, although he rescued the Hun princess, he will not have such a big reward.

Kill.

It's a word that pops up in my head subconsciously. In the third brother's "Thank You for Your Majesty's Longen", I forcibly pressed down again.

How is it possible, my family is honest and does their duty, why do they kill it?

The third brother accepted the reward and stepped aside. This was followed by the Xiongnu mission.

I don't have a smile for them.

"Minister, Huerda, bring the Hun delegation and Princess Herin, to meet the queen mother."

I put on a queen-style smirk: "The envoys are invited, and they have worked hard to eat and sleep in the open along the way." ”

"What does the queen mean?" The envoy smiled and said, "The customs and customs of your dynasty have always been yearning. ”

"However, along the way, it is indeed very hard, after all, our Huns sent two pairs of people and horses in a row, and it is not us who are hard, but those of us who are buried in the Gui Dynasty and can't go back." After saying that, he smiled defiantly and stroked his beard.

What do you mean? Isn't it just about the mountain bandits robbing the road, and when I bring it up again, I'm afraid I don't want to give up.

I was a little angry, and just as I was about to speak, my father spoke, "The envoy reminded this official that banditry has always been my heart disease, not because we can't exterminate it, but because we don't know where the location is, but the guards of your country's mission can be looted by my mountain bandits in an instant, it seems that our efforts to suppress bandits need to be strengthened." ”

As soon as these words came out, there were already people laughing below, and the Hun guards were chased and beaten by the mountain bandits like paper paste, and they didn't know who was embarrassed.

"If the Huns want to know how to lead the troops, we can send some generals to guide you, this official sees, General Fu is very good." This time, it was Mr. Jiang who spoke.

Mr. Jiang has always been his father's political enemy, and his words are really vicious.

On the surface, these words were a satire on the Huns' inability to lead troops, but the latter sentence pointed directly to the third brother and directly brought the limelight to the third brother.

The last sentence of this sentence is my father's, and this insult can be counted almost directly on the head of our Fu family, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

Sure enough, the third brother immediately bowed down, lowered his eyes and said, "The last general doesn't dare, Master Jiang has tormented the last general." ”

I can't imagine that this fight is endless, "Why not, I think the Huns' army is just like this, and on the battlefield, it must not be the opponent of the Fu family's army." ”

He used this trick to make trouble to Shuidong very well, the Hun envoy, his face was gloomy and could drip water, and when he saw that he was about to get angry, I answered immediately.

"Bachelor Jiang, this is not right, since this time it is for peace, wouldn't it hurt the peace of the two parties to mention the old things, this palace feels that since peace is negotiated, the soldiers of the two sides are naturally ......"

The Hun envoy sneered, "So I asked one of you to sing with a red face and the other with a white face." If the Fu family's army is really so powerful, there will be a lot of casualties when they encounter mountain bandits, if you are really powerful, why do you want to negotiate peace with us? In my opinion......"

"Uh-huh."

A crisp cough interrupted his speech.

It came from a carriage.

The voice inside continued, "Khulda, we are here for peace, aren't you ruining your father's intentions by doing this? Besides, General Fu is my savior, you can't be rude! ”

After speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a bare hand, and a woman poked her head out, lifted her skirt, got out of the carriage, and bowed to me, "Horin greets the queen mother." ”

She doesn't have a strong exotic style like Zhifei, and at first glance she can't see much difference from the Central Plains, but on closer inspection, you can find her typical northern appearance.

I remember the last time I said that Zhou Cairen was cute, also because Zhou Cairen was actually from Jiangnan, and he was also the gentle appearance of Xiaojia Jasper.

And her facial features are indeed wide open and closed, her eyebrows are high, her eyes are slightly wider, and her lips are also very angular, like a female general galloping on the battlefield.

She looked at me with a slightly probing gaze.

"The princess is exempt, it is true that we have not entertained well along the way, so that the princess is tired, Your Majesty has arranged the best accommodation conditions for everyone in the palace to the mission, please rest well."

"Tomorrow the pro-family ceremony will be officially held, and the day after tomorrow, Princess Jiulan will work with you to return to the Huns."

It's all about this, and they don't embarrass me, I have always been very concerned about this princess named Herin, when she said goodbye, she glanced at the third brother, and the third brother glanced at her quickly, and lowered his head again.

She just helped us out, and I'm grateful to her.

The courtiers dispersed, and I took advantage of Mr. Jiang's departure, glanced at him fiercely, and then turned my head to meet the third brother.

My father and eldest brother had already walked up to him and started laughing with him, and when I looked at my father, he was also full of emotion.

"Yu'er, it's good to come back safely, it's good to be safe, your mother is very worried." His father patted him on the shoulder.

The third brother breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I lived up to the mission of this trip and sent the princess back safely, otherwise I would really be a great sin." With that, he turned to look at me.

"Yue'er has really grown up."

I looked at him with disgust, "Do you know that there is a sister like me?" When I got married, you and the second brother were not there, the eldest brother was so old, and his body and bones were not good, and he carried me on the sedan chair, you said, should you fight. ”

Big brother: "Huh? You little girl? Who has bad bones? Who's old? ”

The third brother laughed, and the eldest brother punched him, and at such a beautiful moment, a will broke it.

"Your Majesty has a will! Xuan, General Kamui is here! ”
