Lai Xing'er was thinking about how to leave Chang'an as soon as possible, rushed to Jingzhou, assassinated Nasimo, and retrieved the Split Cloud Sword. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, after the fifth watch, Lai Xing'er got up and finished washing, urging Jinping to pack up the daily needs that he brought into the palace, and then took their mother and son straight to Daming Palace.

Because Lai Xing'er is now the commander of the Crane Army, and the Crane Army has just been included in the ranks of the forbidden army by the emperor, the family entered the Daming Palace without much difficulty. There were already eunuchs from the Yellow Gate who came to Xing'er and Jinping to inform the emperor of the news. Lai Xing'er and Jinping were holding the child and were waiting for the emperor to wait in front of the Hanyuan Palace, and suddenly heard someone behind him laugh and said: "Xing'er returned to Beijing this time, why don't you send someone to inform our family." It makes our family so worried. Hey, why are the ladies and children here too, what do you want? ”

Lai Xing'er turned around and saw Yu Chengen, who was dressed in a new purple robe, standing behind him with a smile, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Lai Xing'er has seen the prison envoy. ”

Because Yu Chengen is the founder of the Crane Army, and now he is a favored minister in front of the emperor, his status as a military supervisor is naturally higher than others. Lai Xing'er was already the commander of the Crane Army, and respected him as an elder who had a relationship with his father, so when he saw that it was Yu Chengen, he took the initiative to greet him as a subordinate official to see the superior official.

Yu Chengen was extremely humble, and he bowed to Xing'er and said at the moment: "Xing'er, although you and I have the good fortune of the family, and now we are both serving in the Shenhe Army, but in this Daming Palace, we are all the emperor's courtiers, so we don't need so much courtesy." As he spoke, he glanced at Jinping who was standing beside him with the child in his arms out of the corner of his eye, and asked with pretended concern: "Is there anything important for Mrs. to enter the palace with Xing'er?" The season is now autumn, and the child is so young, be careful of catching a cold. ”

Lai Xing'er hurriedly smiled and explained to him: "Lord Cheng asked, it was originally for Queen Zhenyi's martyrdom, Princess Xueqing lived alone in Baoxiang Palace, it was inevitable to be lonely, and Jinping was the old man who brought Princess Xueqing up, so he took the child to live in Baoxiang Palace for a few days to accompany Princess Xueqing." ”

"Hmm." Yu Chengen was slightly stunned, and immediately gave Jinping a thumbs up, and praised repeatedly, "Madame is loyal, so that our family can admire." A few days ago, the emperor also asked our family whether the house to be rewarded to you has been selected, and once selected, he will send a decree to award you a reward, lest today, your husband and wife are marquis and feudal monarchs, but they don't even have a decent place to live, and they still have to live in the palace of Dongyang County. Our family has now selected two big mansions in the best location in Chang'an City, and it is not sure which one is more suitable for your husband and wife, after staying in the meeting, Mrs. took the child to the Baoxiang Palace to accompany Princess Xueqing, Xing'er, our family will accompany you to these two houses to look at each other, which one was chosen, our family is also a day earlier to the emperor, and officially awarded to you, so that you also have a home of your own in this prosperous Chang'an City. ”

Lai Xing'er hurriedly said: "Thanks to the emperor's grace and the good intentions of the lord, Lai Xing'er's family has thanked me in advance." It's just that, my lord, you also know that Lai Xing'er is in military affairs, and he entered the palace early this morning to see the emperor resign to him, please forgive Lai Xing'er for being difficult to obey. ”

Yu Chengen heard Xing'er say this, but he didn't force him, and asked casually: "I heard that Xing'er, you seem to have returned to Chang'an only before yesterday, why did you only stay for two nights, and you have to leave early this morning?" Although the war in the western Xinjiang is imminent, as far as we know, the 100,000 troops sent north by Tubo from its western border are still stationed in Tuyuhun. ”

Lai Xing'er knew that Yu Chengen was taking the opportunity to inquire about the military situation in the western Xinjiang from himself, but because his rush to Jingzhou was a top secret, he couldn't leak any news, so he said perfunctorily: "Lai Xing'er is going back to Beijing alone this time to tell the emperor that Tubo intends to advance in five ways and launch a war of annihilation against the country. Lead his brothers to enter the defense area designated by the emperor as soon as possible, in case of emergency. Don't misunderstand. ”

"Our family originally thought that the emperor would reward you with the number of the Shenhe Capital, and wanted you to lead a general to garrison the palace to serve as a guard, but I didn't expect that even your men and horses would be sent to the western Xinjiang to wage war with the Tubo people. In this way, our family must also suggest to the emperor that the two capitals and the three capitals of Xiang Zhifei's department be transferred to the western Xinjiang as soon as possible, so as not to make the Tubo people drive straight into Chang'an City again due to the lack of troops. Yu Chengen shook his head and said matter-of-factly.

Lai Xing'er had no intention of entangling with him here, and seeing that the little eunuch who reported the incident ran back from afar, he hugged Yu Chengen's fist, walked forward quickly, and asked, "Little father-in-law, has the emperor agreed to see us?" ”

The little eunuch had been waiting for the envoy at the palace gate for a long time, and saw Yu Chengen standing behind Lai Xing'er at a glance, so he hurriedly responded to Lai Xing'er: "The emperor has an order, and Lai Xing'er immediately goes to Yanying Hall to see the driver, and his wife Jinping does not need to see the driver, and someone can lead him to the Baoxiang Palace to settle down." He didn't allow Xing'er to ask anything more, so he ran to Cheng'en, bowed very neatly, and flattered Yu Chengen with a smile: "It's really a coincidence today, the emperor ordered the little one to invite the adult to Yanying Hall to discuss it, so the little one met the adult here." Adults, you are really considerate of the small. ”

Jinping stood not far away with the child in his arms, and heard that the little eunuch was so numb to Cheng'en, he almost didn't laugh out loud, and forced a smile to ask the little eunuch: "Since the emperor has a decree and someone leads me to the harem to settle down, why do you only see you alone?" Are you leading me to the harem first, or are you going to lead Lord Yu to the Yanying Hall to meet the driver? ”

The little eunuch suddenly ran out of ideas, although he wanted to lead Yu Chengen to face the king first, but he didn't dare to say it, offended Jinping, and only stood stupidly looking at Yu Chengen and smiled, hoping that he would relieve himself.

Yu Chengen knew that Jinping was not used to listening to the meaty words said by the little eunuch, so he deliberately teased her, turned his face down, and reprimanded the little eunuch: "Things that don't have long eyes, our family and the Marquis of Fuyuan went to Yanying to see the driver, and we still need you to lead the way in front, so don't hurry up and lead the lady to the Baoxiang Palace to settle." ”

The little eunuch got Yu Chengen's clear instructions, so he timidly came in front of Jinping, turned sideways and said: "The little one will lead the way for Madame, Madam, please." (To be continued.) )
