In the imperial city, a quaint mansion is located in the West Lane of Emperor Street, which is only separated by a wall by the courtyard wall of the Imperial Palace.

In the mansion, Zhao Xuan was dancing with a knife and a gun in the courtyard of his mansion, and suddenly saw the housekeeper coming in a hurry.

"Master, the father-in-law of the emperor's side came to the palace to announce the decree, and the person has arrived at the gate of the mansion."

When Zhao Xuan heard this, he stopped the movement in his hand, and as a result, the face towel on the little girl's hand wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said, "Do you know what the will my father gave me this time?" ”

Zhao Xuan, who had never been loved by Zhao Yun, was puzzled, and Zhao Yun suddenly gave him an order.

The housekeeper said to Zhao Xuan about some things he heard, I heard that the emperor was going to ask the master to lead an army of 300,000 to Yuzhou to support General Mu and recover Jingzhou. ”

Zhao Xuan heard this and nodded.

At this time, a shrill voice had already sounded outside the gate of the mansion, "The Holy Decree has arrived!" ”

Zhao Xuan found the voice and looked towards the door.

The person who came was the chief attendant of the eunuch beside Zhao Yun, and I saw him holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand and walking towards the mansion.

Zhao Xuan took the sweat towel in his hand to the little servant on the side, and then walked towards the chief eunuch.

The eunuch saw Zhao Xuan walking out with everyone in the prince's mansion and said, "Three princes, please listen to the decree." ”

After Zhao Xuan's words fell, he took the people in the prince's mansion to kneel down to accept the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Zhao Xuan, the third son of me, Zhiyong Shuangquan, is now the main general to lead an army of 300,000 to Yuzhou, and together with the forward general Mu Kun, drive the Batu army out of the territory of our Heavenly Empire, and recover the lost land of my Jingzhou. Choose a day to set off, and here! ”

Although Zhao Xuan had already learned the general outline of the holy decree from the housekeeper, but now that he heard the eunuch read out the content of the holy decree, Zhao Xuan was still surprised in his heart.

In terms of intelligence, the eldest prince Zhao Ye is not inferior to him, in terms of marching and fighting, the fourth prince whose relative is the general of Pingxi has more advantages than he who has never been on the battlefield, Zhao Xuan can't figure out how his father, who has never liked him, would let him be the main general and lead an army of 300,000 to Yuzhou to recover the lost territory of Jingzhou.

"Zhao Xuan takes the order!" With doubts in his heart, Zhao Xuan took this holy decree that made him feel very strange.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan received the holy decree, the eunuch said, "The old slave is here to congratulate the three princes, the victory of the flag, and the triumphant return!" ”

As a close eunuch beside the emperor, of course he knew why the emperor ordered Zhao Xuan to be the main general.

The eunuch sighed in his heart, "I can't imagine that the third prince, who has never been taken to heart by the emperor and ignored by everyone, will one day leap into the dragon gate and become the only prince who holds a quarter of the heavy troops of the Celestial Empire." ”

Zhao Xuan politely thanked the eunuch for his words, and then motioned to the housekeeper behind him, and took out a certain amount of silver and stuffed it into the hands of the eunuch.

"Father-in-law, let's take it, it's been hard all the way!"

The eunuch repeatedly pushed and finally took a certain amount of silver from the housekeeper after Zhao Xuan's words, and then said goodbye to Zhao Xuan and left.

After the eunuch left, the housekeeper glanced at Zhao Xuan and said in a full voice, "Your Majesty, this is the time when you finally remembered the master, master, you finally have a bright future." ”

When Zhao Xuan heard this, he put away the smile he had just pretended to be in front of the eunuch, and said, "Whether he really remembered me or if there is some conspiracy behind this, I don't know." ”

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the main hall.

When the housekeeper heard Zhao Xuan's words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was also a prince, but his master had never been loved by the emperor, and he had a very difficult time in the palace.

Fortunately, with the help of Concubine Mu, Zhao Xuan was able to persist from the harem full of poison and scandals to the door of the palace to stand on his own.

After so many years of warm and cold feelings, only the housekeeper who has been following Zhao Xuan's side can understand Zhao Xuan's misery.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan had already walked towards the main hall, the housekeeper retracted his thoughts and followed closely.

"Is that a matter of place?"

The housekeeper suddenly heard Zhao Xuan's question coming from in front of him, and then replied, "The old slave has already been to check near the City God Temple, but so far, there is still no trace!" ”

Thinking of his own master, for a joke when he was young, he pushed down the marriage that the emperor had pointed out for him, and for so many years, he has ordered everyone in the prince's mansion to inquire about the whereabouts of the little girl back then.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan fell into silence after hearing his words, the housekeeper opened his mouth tentatively, and said, "Master, maybe the person is not in the capital, maybe it is not in the capital, after so many years, if that woman is still there, maybe she has been married to a woman, why should the master worry about her!" ”

The housekeeper's words did not make Zhao Xuan dismiss the idea of searching.

Recalling the stubborn person who hid in the corner and cried, but refused to cry, Zhao Xuan couldn't forget it.

For many days and nights, she often appeared in her dreams.

Ten years have passed in a flash, has that little girl been slim back then? Do you still remember the encounter in the City God Temple ten years ago? Have you ever remembered the promise that you would not marry?

Now that I have long passed the age of the crown, I am about to go to the border, and I don't know how the war is going, and where is the you who haunted me and searched for you?

"She must not be married yet!" Zhao Xuan heard the housekeeper's words, and he didn't want to go back.

He believes that how could a woman at such an age but with such tenacity marry casually.

This is also Zhao Xuan's comfort to herself in her heart, comforting herself that she still remembers what he once said that Fei Qing would not marry.

Looking at Zhao Xuan who was so stubborn, the housekeeper had no choice but to continue looking for it according to Zhao Xuan's intentions.

The housekeeper seemed to think of something, and said to Zhao Xuan, "Master, this time you led the army to the border, do you want to go to the palace to say goodbye to Concubine Mu?" ”

Hearing that the housekeeper mentioned it, Zhao Xuan immediately nodded, "Tomorrow I will enter the palace to say goodbye to Concubine Mu." ”

"Remember that after I leave, you have to take good care of the prince's mansion, and try to avoid the eldest prince, the second prince, and the fourth prince."

Zhao Xuan knew in his heart that Zhao Yun's order to make him the main general of the recovery of Jingzhou this time would definitely attract the dissatisfaction of several other princes who were already displeasing to him.

After he leaves, they will definitely try their best to find trouble in the Three Princes' Mansion.

"If there is a need, you take the token I gave you and go into the palace to find Mu Guifei for help, no matter how you say that she is also my nominal concubine, she will not sit idly by and ignore the Three Princes' Mansion in this situation."

The housekeeper nodded and listened carefully to Zhao Xuan's arrangement.

At this time, in the palace Kunning Palace, it was learned that the third prince Zhao Xuan was appointed by Emperor Zhao Yun as the chief general to recover Jingzhou, and he had an army of 300,000 in his hands, and the fourth prince Zhao Si looked angrily at the queen sitting on the phoenix couch.

"Mother, what is the father and emperor going to do, he actually let that nemesis be the main general this time, and he has an army of 300,000 in his hands, that's 300,000!"

Empress Nie looked lovingly at this son who made her proud.

She is the lord of the middle palace, the queen of the world, her son is the prince of Emperor Zhao Yun's relatives, although the eldest prince Zhao Ye is the former queen, but he is a prince without a mother, even if he is loved by Zhao Yun, he thinks he can compete with her son for the position of prince? Not to mention Zhao Xuan, the third prince who has no power behind him.

"Why is Si'er so anxious, even if Zhao Xuan has an army of 300,000, what can he do?"

Empress Nie hooked her lips and smiled, "Now that the border is in chaos, Batu's more than 400,000 troops are pressing the border, Zhao Xuan has never been on the battlefield, how can he march to fight, he will not come back alive if he goes this time!" ”

Zhao Si was relieved when he heard Empress Nie's words, and then thought of something, "But if Zhao Xuan dies on the battlefield, won't Yuzhou be lost again?" ”

Empress Nie glanced at Zhao Si and said, "Mu Kun is the little god of war of the Celestial Empire, and he was able to win the battle against the 400,000 army of the Mi Kingdom with an army of 200,000, and Batu's army of more than 400,000 believes that he will also be able to drive Batu's army out of the territory of the Celestial Empire." ”

Zhao Si was confused by what Empress Nie said, and couldn't help asking, "But Queen Mother, wouldn't Zhao Xuan be able to come back, then if he succeeds in recovering Jingzhou, his father will definitely be impressed with him." ”

When Empress Nie heard Zhao Si's words, she shook her head and said, "You stupid boy, Zhao Xuan will definitely die on the battlefield." I'll leave your uncle and let him arrange all this. Si'er, you have to remember that in this Celestial Empire, there can only be, and only you are the prince of the Celestial Empire, and no one can compete with you for the position of prince. ”

Empress Nie was thinking in her heart while explaining to Zhao Si.

She is the queen of the Celestial Dynasty, but she is the step-queen, and the person Zhao Yun has always loved in his heart is the former queen, even if he is nostalgic for the harem, except for the fifteenth of every month, he never comes to Kunning Palace.

Her status in the palace, except for the position of a queen, has nothing, even the seal that symbolizes the queen in charge of the six palaces, Zhao Yun also ordered it to be kept by Mu Guifei and manage the six palaces on her behalf.

If she wants to become a human being, then her son must be the prince. Only when Zhao Si sits on the throne of the prince and becomes the emperor of the Celestial Empire, then she can become the queen mother of the main palace and become a human being.

Empress Nie squinted her phoenix eyes slightly, and a trace of viciousness flashed on her face.

Then Empress Nie continued to speak, and said, "So Si'er, you should learn from Taifu now, only if you learn well, can you help your father and emperor take charge of the government." And like now, I only know how to linger in the flowers. You must know that when you become the prince in the future and sit in the biggest position in the Celestial Empire, at that time, what kind of woman do you want to get? ”

Zhao Si heard such a general reprimand from Empress Nie, and said dissatisfied, "After the queen mother, the sons and daughters know!" Every time you come to Kunning Palace, you always can't forget to say such a thing to Erchen, you are not annoyed, my ears are calloused, Erchen left first! ”

Seeing Zhao Si turn around and leave after saying this, Empress Nie was almost smoked by the angry Qiqi and fainted.
