At this time, Li Jinzhong came in and told him in a low voice: "The queen is seriously ill, and the prince has come to ask the grandson to visit." ”

Hurried to the gate of the East Palace, the prince was already waiting. Don't say much, let's go to the Queen's Palace together. After the eunuch passed the word, he took the two into the palace. The queen lay on the bed with a pale face, her eyes looking straight at the top of the tent, and Wanli accompanied her on the chair next to her.

Hearing the sound of the two coming in, the queen turned her head and said with a happy face: "Good grandson, come here." Zhu Xiaoqi stepped forward, first saluted Wanli, and then knelt in front of the bed, holding the queen's hand, tears flowed out: "Grandma, what's wrong with you." "He still knows in his heart who is good to him, and the queen is not good to him without any utilitarianism, so he still has feelings for the queen.

The queen touched his head with her other hand, and said with a smile: "Hard-working child, don't cry, the imperial grandmother is fine, I am happy to hear you call me grandma today." "On weekdays, I want to call the emperor's grandmother, today Zhu Xiaoqi revealed his true feelings and called out his grandmother, the queen not only did not blame, but also felt very relieved, the royal family rarely has true feelings, the queen saw him like this, and felt that he did not feel sorry for this grandson.

The queen turned her head to look at Wanli: "Your Majesty, the concubine has enjoyed glory and wealth all her life, and when she leaves, she just doesn't worry about this grandson and my daughter, I hope the emperor can take care of it more." ”

Wanli said with tears in his eyes: "Don't think nonsense, the imperial doctor said, the illness will be cured soon." "He still has feelings for this queen, although he has favored Concubine Zheng over the years, but after all, he has been married for decades, and the queen has always managed the harem in an orderly manner, and he has never asked for anything, so he has always been in love with the queen, although respect is much more than love, but it is already very good. Now that the queen has made such a request, of course he will not fail to satisfy her: "Send a decree that Princess Xuan Rongchang and her son will enter the Hajj and visit the queen's palace." ”

Soon Princess Rongchang came in, and she was just in time to get the news, but her son was still at home and had already been called. As soon as she came in, she rushed to her mother's side, Zhu Xiaoqi moved to the side, gently handed the queen's hand into her hand, and called her aunt.

Princess Rongchang ignored him, looking at her mother's appearance, she couldn't help but feel sad, her mouth opened and she wanted to cry, Zhu Xiaoqi saw it in her eyes, and immediately squeezed her hand with her hand, she reacted and glanced at her nephew apologetically.

The queen saw it in her eyes, smiled, grabbed Zhu Xiaoqi's hand in her hand, and pressed it on Princess Rongchang's hand: "Such a big person is not as good as a child." In the future, you brothers, sisters, aunts and nephews should be more close, and the family will be a family after all. The prince hurriedly nodded yes, and Rong Chang also choked up and said, "Follow the instructions of the queen mother, my daughter will." The queen looked at Zhu Xiaoqi, Zhu Xiaoqi looked into the queen's eyes and said, "I won't allow anyone to bully my aunt." The queen nodded slightly: "Good boy, you are a good boy." ”

The imperial doctor gave Wanli a salute, and Wanli said: "Let's retreat first, don't disturb the queen's recuperation." And they withdrew. The prince had returned to the East Palace beforehand, and Zhu Xiaoqi and Rong Chang were waiting outside.

At this time, Rongchang's sons came, good guys, five boys, named Yang Guangkui, Yang Guanggao, Yang Guangdan, Yang Guangyi, Yang Guanglong, the eldest Yang Guangkui was in his twenties, and the youngest Yang Guanglong was only five years old. Rongchang introduced them to Zhu Xiaoqi one by one, and Zhu Xiaoqi and his cousins met one by one.

After saluting, Zhu Xiaoqi asked, "What position does my cousin have now?" Yang Guangkui replied: "Yin Jinyi guards are all commanding envoys. Zhu Xiaoqi understood that this was just a pseudonym, but in fact, he didn't care about anything, and asked: "I don't know what my cousin is interested in?" ”

"The boy is ambitious in all directions, and Guangkui only wants to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but Jiaci is worried that the sword and gun have no eyes, and he is not happy with the child's ambition." Yang Guangkui whispered, glancing at his mother next to him as he spoke.

I didn't want Princess Rongchang to hear it: "Look at your appearance, do you look like someone who can go into battle to kill the enemy?" "Yang Guangkui is on the thin side, and he really doesn't look like a brave person.

Yang Guangkui's face flushed: "The child can eat more, grow stronger, and practice martial arts, will the mother let the child go to the battlefield then?" ”

Of course, Princess Rongchang doesn't want her children to go to the battlefield, her husband died early, Yang Guangkui is the eldest son, quite similar to his father, he has a compassionate heart, and he usually can't even bear to kill cattle, such a character is actually not suitable for the battlefield. However, Yang Guangkui has always wanted to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, so she is very distressed, but she can't do anything.

"Guangkui, I know you want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but your mind is too soft, you can't bear to look at the slaughter of livestock on weekdays, when you get to the battlefield, do you dare to kill?"

"The child has mercy on the animal because it is innocent. Jiannu kills my border people, occupies my city, it is not as good as a beast, and killing it alone is like killing a chicken. ”

Zhu Xiaoqi clapped his hands and praised: "My cousin said it well, since I have a heart, my cousin has an idea, of course it is a war achievement to go into battle to kill the enemy, but if you train an elite soldier, even if you don't go into battle, can't it be regarded as a war achievement?" My cousin also wants to kill Jiannu, but I can't go to the battlefield, so I want to learn how to train soldiers, but my talent is limited and I don't know how to train soldiers. ”

Princess Rongchang is overjoyed, this method is good, and there is no need to go into battle, there will be no worries about life, and it can meet the wishes of the eldest son, this nephew's brain is flexible, not bad. Yang Guangkui knew that his mother would not let him go to the battlefield, and the idea put forward by his cousin also satisfied him: "Brother Foolish is familiar with military books and military training, but he has a lot of experience. ”

After a hasty dinner, everyone continued to stay outside the Queen's Palace. Zhu Xiaoqi and Yang Guangkui discussed the method of military training, Yang Guangkui also read the "New Book of Ji Xiao", and highly respected this book, the two found common ground and discussed more enthusiastically, but took into account that the queen in the palace was sick, so the voice was very small, and later even the second Yang Guanggao also participated, Zhu Xiaoqi was pleasantly surprised to find that this cousin, who was two years older than himself, was also familiar with the "New Book of Ji Xiao", and had his own unique views in many aspects during the conversation, such as the mixed use of firecrackers and pikemen, and the coordination of tiger squat artillery and infantry, There are some novel ideas, although they may not be very correct, but at least in Zhu Xiaoqi's mind, it should be possible to achieve better results, it seems that the children of the nobility are not all rice buckets. These two people can be used in the future, and they are reused, after all, they are their own cousins, and the loyalty should be one hundred, needless to say.
