Chapter Ninety-Two: The Character of a Teenager

(Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and rewarding support) Jinping's mood these days is very complicated. The surprise brought by the emperor's marriage was quickly replaced by concern and longing for her fiancΓ© who rushed to the river to serve the battlefield.

Jing Xuan didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly refer Jinping to Lai Xing'er as his wife. Since the identity of Lai Xing'er's impostor eunuch was exposed, she had seriously considered the matter of matching Jinping and Lai Xing'er, but thinking that the two were not very old, she planned to stay for a year and a half to intercede with the emperor, and allow Lai Xing'er to restore the identity of the descendant of the scholarly family, take the path of the imperial examination, seek fame, and then marry Jinping to him. If everything goes well, Jinping will live a smooth and happy life for most of his life in the future, which is much better than any female official in the intrigue Daming Palace.

But now that Lai Xing'er has gone to the battlefield from Rong, seeing Jinping looking like he is unstoppable all day long, Jing Xuan can't help but be secretly anxious, thinking about when he will see King Mu, and tell him that he will transfer Lai Xing'er back to the Marshal's Mansion from the front as soon as possible, so that the little couple will not have to suffer from this lovesickness.

Coincidentally, Jing Xuan was thinking about meeting Li Qi, the new generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and he came to the door first.

Jing Xuan got Zhu Shuang's report, saying that King Mu would come into the palace to greet him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and intended to invite King Mu into the palace outside the palace gate of Jinping Palace. He hurriedly changed out of the short shirt he was used to wearing, changed into an elegant skirt, and sat in the main hall of the Baoxiang Palace, waiting for the arrival of King Mu.

Soon after Li Qi, the king of Mu, became the generalissimo, he ordered Fu Yi, who had recovered the river, to immediately march eastward, and attacked the rebels led by Li Shu, the king of Ying, with Liu Yi and Zeng Qingze, in an attempt to remove the threat of the rebels to Guanzhong in one fell swoop. Because some time ago, Li Qi was ordered to go to Tibet on the way, Li Qi was placed under house arrest by Li Shu in Jiangling City, and as a result, he did not even set foot in the territory of Tubo, so he accidentally met the old man in front of his great-ancestor such as Xianyuan in Bazhou, and his identity was exposed and he was sent back to Chang'an.

With such a mind, and at the same time eager to show his talents in front of his father, Li Qi passed on the general's order, and immediately asked the emperor for permission to go to Yuzhou to supervise the war. The emperor was very happy after taking over the performance, and immediately agreed to Li Qi's request. Today, Li Qi came to the harem with the consent of the emperor, and he was dedicated to resigning to the two concubines.

Li Qilun's age, although he is only three or four years younger than Jing Xuan, can follow Jinping into the main hall of the Baoxiang Palace, and when he saw Jing Xuan sitting in the hall, he still behaved as respectful as his son saw his mother, and stepped forward to kneel down with his clothes, and greeted: "Son Li Qi has come to his mother's concubine." May the mother concubine live a long and healthy life. ”

Back then, less than a year after Jing Xuan married into the East Palace, the prince was framed by Empress Zhang and was forced to leave Beijing to avoid trouble. After the prince left, everyone in the East Palace from the concubines and princes to the palace people and miscellaneous servants was afraid of each other, and they did not dare to move around each other, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be caught by the Zhang family and the prince himself.

At this moment, hearing that Li Qi had entered the palace and used such old-fashioned words as Fushou Ankang to greet him, Jing Xuan couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, and commanded: "Your Highness doesn't need to be polite." Jinping, watching, serving tea. ”

Because recently, Jing Xuan has also heard some rumors in the palace from time to time, saying that Wanrong has privately revealed her dissatisfaction with the emperor's cronies, so as soon as Li Qi sat down on the side, Jing Xuan asked casually: "Your Highness has gone to Yaohua Palace, have you seen Sister Concubine Li?" ”

Li Qi hurriedly got up and replied: "Back to the mother's concubine, my son entered the palace today, nominally to resign, but in fact, he came to thank his mother, and he only sat in Yaohua Palace for less than a bowl of tea before coming out. ”

Jing Xuan heard that Li Qi had gone to Yaohua Palace to see Wanrong first, nodded with satisfaction, and asked again, "Resign?" Is His Highness leaving Chang'an again? I just don't know where the word thank you begins? ”

Li Qi still stood and replied: "My son has heard that if it weren't for the mother's concubine's advice in front of his father, my father would not have appointed his son as the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses so quickly." In order to live up to the grace of his mother's recommendation, the son has played his father, and he will soon go to the battlefield to supervise the battle. ”

"Oh, that's what it's for. On that day, the palace suggested to your father that you be the commander, following the precedent of the dynasty, in order for the whole country to have a unified order, and you have no special favor for Your Highness, Your Highness does not need to enter the palace to thank the palace for this, just do your best to be a competent marshal. ”

Li Qi listened to Jing Xuan's solemn words, and there was no trace of personal affection in his words, so he couldn't help but feel respect, and said, "My son obeys the teachings of his mother." But the son not only inherited the grace of his mother's concubine, but also got the assistance of such a famous general as Jing Gong, and he was always thinking about trying his best to repay his great kindness, and before leaving, he entered the palace to see his mother and ask for peace. ”

Jing Xuan's heart moved, he looked at Jinping, and was about to open his mouth to ask Li Qi to go to the front, and take care of Lai Xing'er, when he saw Zhu Shuang running in hurriedly again, and reported: "Qi Niangniang, there is a nine-way view of the army outside the palace gate, and Yu Chengen asks to see the adult." ”

Li Qi heard Zhu Shuang's report that Yu Chengen entered the palace to ask to see Jing Xuan, his eyebrows shrugged, and he looked at Jing Xuan thoughtfully, wanting to see if she saw or not. After he became the marshal of the soldiers and horses, the first suggestion he made to the emperor was to transfer Chengen from Jingzhou to Shaanzhou east of Chang'an to garrison, in case he took advantage of the invasion of Tibet, wantonly asked the imperial court for troops and food, and expanded the Shenhe army under his command indefinitely.

To Li Qi's surprise, after Yu Chengen received the order to adjust the defense, he returned to Chang'an so quickly, and hurriedly came to ask Jing Xuan, could it be that there was something involved between him and Jing Xuan that he didn't know?

At the same time, Jing Xuan was also surprised by Chengen's sudden visit to the door, if it was a few days ago, she would not hesitate to see Yu Chengen, no matter what he entered the palace to ask for to see him, first of all, he would order someone to return the original treasure "Heavenly Silkworm Clothes" that he entrusted Xing'er to bring into the palace to give him some time ago, and it was okay to end a matter. However, now that the "silkworm robe" has been handed over to him at Wu Bizhi's request and sold for money to supplement the Chang'an Yulin Guard, and now it has long been gone. Stay for a while, if Yu Chengen sees him and asks for something that is not shared, how should he respond?

But when it came to the matter, it was not a way to turn Cheng En away without saying anything, Jing Xuan had a trace of anxiety in his heart, and told Zhu Shuang to invite Cheng En into the hall. (To be continued.) )
