Chapter 288: Return
In the Yongning Palace late at night, the emperor was holding the beauty in his arms, and his eyes showed irrepressible joy.
"Your Majesty, the three princes have made great contributions this time, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the three princes are so caring, they can share the emperor's worries, they really deserve to be the prince of Wuguo." Concubine Shu snuggled in the emperor's arms and said coquettishly.
The emperor smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Our child will definitely be as well-behaved and sensible as his third brother in the future, and become the pride of heaven in my Wu Kingdom." Looking at the woman with a slightly bulging belly in her arms, now that the concubine has been in her arms for three months, her originally thin body has become plump because of her pregnancy, and even the emperor loves her very much. There are thousands of charms between gestures.
Now the emperor's favor of the concubine is full of favor, and she comes to Yongning Palace every night, although the concubine is not arrogant and arrogant, but she has aroused the dissatisfaction of other concubines in the palace, saying that she monopolizes the emperor's favor. Hardly anyone wanted to associate with her. However, Concubine Shu did not complain to the emperor because of this, after all, none of the women in the harem wanted to make the emperor feel bored.
"Yes, the concubine and the emperor's child will definitely be a sensible and considerate good boy in the future." The woman's delicate voice came, causing the people around her to itch for a while.
"Back to the queen, the emperor went to Yongning Palace again today." Honggu stepped forward to reply.
"I went to the slut again. The emperor is not tired of panicking. Closing the teacup in his hand, there was a sense of anger in his eyes that people did not dare to look directly.
The queen has long been dissatisfied with Concubine Shu. She has been in charge of the harem for many years, and she has never seen the emperor so fond of anyone, and this concubine has broken the rules, of course, she has to teach her some lessons.
It's just that now she is pregnant with a dragon heir, but she is afraid that she can't move. Honggu understood the queen's thoughts at a glance, and waited quietly for the queen's order. "Step down, the emperor will come back in a few days, and if you don't want to have more rights and wrongs, you should think of it as a blessing for him."
"Yes, the queen's mother is kind-hearted, and the prince will also trust the blessing of the mother." After saying that, Honggu retreated.
Last night's drink under the moon, Mo Li's words made Shen Mei sleepless all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Mu Qingfeng led the mighty army into the capital, and the people who came to watch after hearing the news along the way respectfully knelt in front of the city gate to welcome the return of Mu Qingfeng and others.
Zhao's father and son were still in high spirits and walking side by side with Mu Qingfeng, while Qiu Rong'er followed behind them, and who was the person in this carriage was sitting, which caused the people on the side of the road to secretly speculate, and there was a discussion below.
In front of the palace gate, hundreds of officials are waiting for their triumphant return, and the majestic morale envelops the entire capital for a while, rendering a touch of bright color, which is exciting.
The people on the roadside shouted in unison, all of them delighted at their return.
The hundred officials saw the military flag raised in the distance, "I'm back, look!" Somebody spoke up and drew everyone's attention.
Several people on horseback and wearing silver light armor appeared in front of everyone, and Mu Qingfeng's appearance of changing into armor with a proud majesty made people admire.
Even the battle-experienced Zhao father and son failed to seize half of his momentum, like a golden light, winning everyone's attention, people's eyes involuntarily followed him and moved, such a man only has such a majestic state of royal blood, and the pride of the sky should be like this.
Mu Qingfeng and several generals came to the pilgrimage in front of the Jinluan Palace, the true dragon son of heaven was sitting on the high hall, and the queen was wearing a red dress with gold silk embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and sat beside the emperor in a dignified manner. Seeing the visitor, a hint of surprise flashed in the queen's eyes.
Hundreds of officials on both sides of the main hall were ranked, and Mu Qingfeng stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "Participate in the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The retainers did not fail in their mission and came to report to the emperor. ”
"Good, good. Feng'er, get up quickly, let your father take a good look at you. "The emperor rarely showed his kindness in front of everyone. Then came up the Zhao father and son, "Weichen came to restore his life." ”
"Get up, this time General Zhao led the soldiers of Wuguo not only to quell the war at the border pass, but also to recover the territory for our Wuguo, and to make great achievements, I want to be rewarded." The emperor was excited for a while, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was awe-inspiring.
Zhao Meng humbly stepped forward and said, "The minister doesn't dare to be, the three princes are the real leaders of the troops along the way, the matter of reversing the war and recovering the territory is that the prince defeated the enemy with his own knowledge, and the minister led the troops to fight for many years, the first time I saw a military wizard like the prince, congratulations to the emperor, it is a great blessing for the Wu Kingdom." ”
This remark won the emperor's heart, and there was a satisfied expression in his eyes. The eunuch beside him was heard reading the holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Zhao's father and son have meritorious service in protecting the country, Zhao Meng's general Su Wei Zhongzheng, Xuande Mingen, observance of festivals and friendship, and Ansheji, very satisfied, and crowned as the general of Sima Zhenguo, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, gave a yellow coat, walked in front of the emperor, Zhao Linrui, the son of Zhao Meng, because of his meritorious service in protecting the country, he was specially named Yundu Lieutenant, rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, and a mansion. Chin this. ”
"Wechen thanks the emperor for his gift." The Zhao father and son knelt down together to thank him.
Next, Mu Qingfeng's reward was read out, and a trace of nervousness flashed in Mu Lingxuan's eyes on the side, and he raised his eyes to watch the emperor's expression change, hoping to find out something he wanted to know from it.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The third prince, Mu Qingfeng, as a prince, was not arrogant or impatient, asked for his life for the country, made great contributions to the Wu country, rewarded 100,000 elite soldiers, and handed over the tiger talisman to the three princes. Chin this. After this holy decree was announced, there was a burst of discussion from the people below.
"The emperor actually handed over the military power to the three princes, but I'm afraid that the emperor's intention is not here." One of the ministers said in a calm voice.
"Yes, this tiger talisman symbolizes the supreme power of the emperor, it seems that the emperor has made up his mind to pay attention..."Sensing Mu Lingxuan's gloomy gaze, the officials around him motioned to the minister to speak carefully.
The two looked at Mu Lingxuan cautiously, seeing that the green tendons on his forehead were rising, they held back their emotions and did not show them.
"I have one more purpose." The emperor looked at the person in the bead curtain, and said slowly after receiving a response.
"The daughter of Xuanqiu Taifu, come to see you." The sound of the summons passed through the main hall, so that everyone did not know the intention of the emperor's move.
It didn't take long for Qiu Rong'er, who had changed into clothes, to come, with a good gait and a dignified appearance, this down-and-out and generous appearance made people can't help but speculate about the emperor's thoughts.
