Chapter 207: The division does not merit the general and returns to Yecheng

"I like it," Gao Yuanjun's heart jumped slightly, and she lowered her eyes and replied, "As long as the husband likes it, the concubine likes it." "There's no way she can't care less than Yuan Shanjian. She's a smart person, not scheming. But she couldn't ignore the feeling that others cared about her. Especially since this is none other than her husband.

Whether this kind of care is true or fake, but her feelings are real, and she is too sensitive to this feeling of being cared for. In the Jiaofang Palace, the former owner was her eldest sister Gao Changjun. Now, when she really became the master of the Jiaofang Palace, she understood the dilemma of her eldest sister at that time.

Gao Yuanjun, she is not the eldest sister Gao Changjun. She also understands that his father, Gao Huan, the prime minister, is different from before, at least on the surface, he is respectful to the emperor and he is humble. Her eldest brother, the prince Gao Cheng, and the emperor at least did not have any superficial contradictions.

"The general was defeated, and he was wounded, and he was afraid that he would not be happy, so he wanted to welcome him in the suburbs and take him back." Yuan Shanjian's tone was calm, as if he was discussing with Gao Yuanjun. He didn't look at Gao Yuanjun, and looked down at the clothes on his body as he spoke.

Gao Yuanjun stared at the dazzling grand dress on Yuan Shanjian's body, "The Lord still doesn't have to go, otherwise how can the eldest brother be grateful to the Lord for his grace?" Her tone was soft, but her heart shook violently. Plain clothes welcome the suburbs, how to listen to how it seems that the army is worried and welcomes it with a funeral, in order to sacrifice the fallen soldiers.

The emperor's move was not considerate to her brother, but a sarcasm for him, but he was afraid that the eldest brother would be even more unhappy when he saw his husband. She knows the temper of the eldest brother, but she is afraid of having conflicts with the emperor. Not to mention that Fujun has to take the initiative to provoke.

"It's just a meeting, a family, why be grateful at every turn." Yuan Shanjian said lightly, he also seemed to be unhappy.

Gao Yuanjun is an extremely smart person, so naturally he will not tease the emperor's original rebellious psychology at this time. She endured. To talk about this, her personality is very close to her second brother Gao Yang, and she is diametrically opposed to her eldest brother Gao Cheng.

Gong sent the emperor out of the Jiaofang Palace, Gao Yuanjun knew that she couldn't stop the emperor from going to the suburbs to greet him, so he simply put the matter aside. Because she has other things: the emperor's sister today, who is also her eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law, the princess and princess Feng Yi, Yuan Zhonghua, is going to enter the palace to see her. To appease Yuan Zhonghua well, this is a secret effort, and it is also extremely important.

This is her husband, Emperor Yuan Shanjian, who ordered Lin Xingren, a regular servant, to go to the General's Mansion to pick up the princess into the palace. Since the general Gao Cheng left Yecheng on his second expedition to the west, the princess Yuan Zhonghua has been ill almost all the time, that is, she has just recovered a few days ago.

These Gao Yuanjun all knew, the emperor almost every day ordered Lin Xingren, a regular attendant, to visit the general, and she also constantly sent people from the Jiaofang Palace to inquire about the condition of the illness and reward all kinds of things. finally waited until the eldest sister-in-law's illness improved, and when he heard the news of the eldest brother's new defeat, Gao Yuanjun's mood went up and down, and it was simply indescribable.

Her feelings for Princess Yuan Zhonghua, the eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law, are also like those for her eldest brother Gao Cheng, which is a bit complicated. She and Yuan Zhonghua grew up together since childhood, although they are not very close, but after all, there is a sense of affection. But Yuan Zhonghua is obviously a person who can't completely fit her mind, knowing that she is important, but she is too close to her. And she found that her husband was not so distressed about this sister who had married into the Gao Wangfu as a princess since she was very young, most of them were just on the surface. Maybe it's the same in Yuan Zhonghua's heart, how to say it, he was separated from childhood, Yuan Zhonghua grew up in the Gao Wangfu.

After all, Fujun Yuan Shanjian is the emperor of Great Wei, and he wants to use this nominal brother and sister relationship to envelop the general.

Gao Yuanjun knew that his husband was the eldest brother Gao Cheng who went to the suburbs to meet the injured and newly defeated and returned in frustration. specially ordered her to take the general's wife Yuan Zhonghua into the palace, and then the emperor would take the general back to the palace, and set up an internal banquet in the palace to appease the general.

Maybe the emperor had good intentions, Gao Yuanjun always felt that the emperor's idea was not good, and her eldest brother might not appreciate it. Or according to the general's temper, it is estimated that he will not endure such a secret ridicule.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess is here." The voice of the palace maid came, and it immediately woke up Gao Yuanjun.

"Invite the eldest princess in." Gao Yuanjun subconsciously commanded the moment he had not fully returned to reality from his contemplation. There was already a slight expectation and excitement in her tone, as if she had been waiting for Yuan Zhonghua, the general's wife.

The eldest princess naturally refers to the general's wife, Princess Feng Yi, Yuan Zhonghua.

Sure enough, it didn't take much effort, and when Gao Yuanjun had completely come back to his senses, he saw that the palace maid had led Yuan Zhonghua into it. She smiled and watched Yuan Zhonghua come closer, and Yuan Zhonghua naturally wanted to see the monarch and the minister. Gao Yuanjun saw that she was still a little thin, the more she looked icy and jade, her face was a little pale, and it was obvious that her body had not fully recovered as before. I always feel that her brows are frowning, and when she looks at it, she knows that she is sensitive and thoughtful, and her heart is heavy. It's no wonder that she must also know that her husband, the general Gao Cheng, was defeated and injured, so she inevitably had to worry.

"Hurry up and help the eldest princess up." Gao Yuanjun watched Yuan Zhonghua kneel and bow, owing his body, and finally sat down and didn't get up, but just eagerly instructed the palace maids.

The palace maids were very attentive to each other. Not because of Yuan Zhonghua's status as the eldest princess, but because she is the general's wife, which is the top priority of her identity. Even the palace maids also understood in their hearts that although the general's wife paid a great salute to the queen, her status was as important as the queen.

Yuan Zhonghua is not a frivolous person, since he wants to salute, of course he will not give up halfway, and Gao Yuanjun's order is not timely. By the time the palace maids complied with the instructions to help, Yuan Zhonghua had already finished the salute.

"The eldest sister-in-law is not cured, so she doesn't need to work so much." Gao Yuanjun said politely, and instructed the palace maid to set up a seat and serve Daigo, and treated each other very courteously.

This made Yuan Zhonghua a little uncomfortable, in fact, her relationship with Gao Yuanjun has always been similar to close but not intimate, and not so intimate. I don't know why, since Gao Yuanjun entered the palace, every time he meets again, he is more affectionate than before.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yuan Zhonghua actually didn't know why the queen suddenly took her into the palace. But she is not an eventful person, presumably when the queen picks her up, she will definitely take the initiative to say, so naturally she doesn't need to ask. And Yuan Zhonghua felt that because it was the girl in white who led her into the palace in that nightmare, there were so many terrible things later, so she really didn't want to enter the palace in her heart.

"Sister-in-law must know too, right?" Gao Yuanjun changed his tone, a little heavy. She asked slowly while looking at Yuan Zhonghua. Gao Yuanjun actually didn't know in his heart what Yuan Zhonghua knew and what he didn't know. She's been seriously ill, who would dare to let her worry about it more? "Big brother is going back to Yecheng today. The lord has already left the palace to greet him, and then returned to the palace with his eldest brother. The Lord is considerate of the eldest brother and wants to set up an internal banquet to suppress the shock of the eldest brother, so he will bring the eldest sister-in-law first and wait for the eldest brother here. ”

Today? Yuan Zhonghua was a little surprised, she really didn't know. However, she did not object, and only replied "yes". The husband did not order anyone to send her a letter, not even a person who came back and forth in advance. He's coming back today, and she doesn't know it. Yuan Zhonghua's heart was full of uneasiness.

Gao Yuanjun saw that Yuan Zhonghua didn't say anything, and thought that she was for the reason why the eldest brother was injured, and persuaded again, "Sister-in-law don't worry, although the eldest brother has been injured, it must not be very troublesome." Otherwise, Hou Jing, Gao Aocao, Chen Yuankang and others would have been blunt. Since the lord and the second brother Taiyuan Gong don't know, maybe it doesn't matter. Gao Yuanjun was a little complicated.

Hearing Gao Yuanjun say "I was hurt a little", Yuan Zhonghua's heart hurt fiercely. Defeated in vain, wounded again...... What's going on? She never thought he would get hurt. It seems that it is only now that it is suddenly understood that fighting in the field itself is a very dangerous thing, and since this is the case, injuries cannot be avoided.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and Her Royal Highness the Queen for your thoughtfulness." Yuan Zhonghua was already a little absent-minded, and he had to say these words of thanks.

Gao Yuanjun smiled and didn't speak again, a bit like a cover-up, holding the Daigo in the jade cup. She had already seen something strange, the eldest sister-in-law didn't seem to know that the eldest brother was injured, and she didn't seem to know that the eldest brother would come back today. She suddenly thought of the dancing girl in Dongbai Hall, and she also knew that it was given by the emperor, but it was not directly given to the eldest brother.

She also heard the second brother Taiyuan Gong Gao Yang say that the eldest brother actually broke into the Taiyuan Mansion and took away the dancing girl regardless of it, which is the character of the eldest brother. It seems that this dancing girl is very favored, and may even be the leader, which caused the eldest brother to alienate the concubine. Merry and erotic, this is also the character of the eldest brother. It is no wonder that King Yuanhui of Jibei was always proud before the emperor Yuanshan met, and the emperor must have known it. Gao Yuanjun understood most of it in his heart, and he took this matter to heart.

Yuan Zhonghua endured the restlessness in his heart and waited patiently in the queen's Jiaofang Palace.

On the outskirts of Yecheng, by the Zhanghe River, the autumn scenery looks really nothing special inadvertently. However, Emperor Yuan Shanjian felt that the autumn situation was particularly pleasant. Standing in the suburbs, looking at Yecheng from afar, is different from when you are in it. It's hard to imagine the looming splendor that he was once in.

The dignified Emperor of Wei, except for Lin Xingren, a regular attendant and a few eunuchs, he didn't bring anyone else, so he drove out of the city so alone. The army is worried, it is not a glorious thing, and he doesn't want this matter to bring too much shock to the current court, so he tries to downplay this matter as much as possible. But he himself didn't mind taking a look at what kind of decadence this uncle and brother-in-law's general should have been frustrated and injured when he returned to Yecheng.

Lin Xingren, the regular attendant, watched Emperor Yuan Shanjian standing in the still bright autumn sun, although it was the desolate scenery of the wild trees in the smoke village, there was nothing to appreciate at all, but the emperor's expression was so happy. He had almost never seen an emperor in such a happy time.

Lin Xingren was actually very happy in his heart. It's just that he has to desperately suppress this pleasure. Because the failure of the Western Expedition was, after all, a great worry for the country, and he should not be so blatantly happy. In fact, he, like the emperor, felt happy because this high-flying and domineering general was actually defeated twice in a row at the hands of Xikou Yuwen Black Otter, which was just their personal grudge.

The emperor and his lieutenants both believed that as long as the general did not control the government so much, there would naturally be people who were pressed by him who would be able to fight for Sheji at that time, and maybe they would defeat Yuwen Black Otter, and they would also be able to destroy the Western Thief and unify Sheji. This is the incompetence of the general, and he is too domineering, which led to this consecutive defeats.

"Your Majesty, it's the general who is here." Lin Xingren whispered beside Emperor Yuan Shanjian. His eyes were on a group of centaurs in the distance.

Yuan Zen didn't speak, but he also saw it.

Presumably because he had arrived in Yecheng, it was not the armored soldiers who escorted the general back, but the general's own guards. Emperor Yuan Shanjian and Zhongchang attendant Lin Xingren only saw the great star Tailang Zhong and the Pingnan general Chen Yuankang on horseback, but did not see the great general Gao Cheng.

Chen Yuankang rode on the side of an ox cart, could it be that Gao Cheng was in the car? Yuan Shanjian's heart was shocked. How could Gao Cheng's temperament come back in an ox cart? Unless he can't ride a horse anymore. If you can't even ride a horse, is it seriously injured? …… Yuan Shanjian thought about it in his heart. Lin Xingren stared at the ox cart with great concern.

Chen Yuankang, who was gradually approaching, also saw clearly, it was actually the Son of Heaven who greeted the outskirts of the city in plain clothes, how could this be possible? It's just so extraordinary. Chen Yuankang ordered to stop, dismount, and then approached the ox cart and looked back at everything he saw through the window.

Gao Cheng in the ox cart was indeed similar to what Emperor Yuan Shanjian thought, his injuries were not healed, and he was in a hurry to return to Yecheng, riding one after another along the way, but then he couldn't hold it down, so he just changed to an ox cart. The injury is not healed, and he is tired, and he is indeed a little atrophied.

"Son, it is the Lord who has come out of the city to greet you." Chen Yuankang's voice was a little surprised, and he waited for the general's orders.

Gao Cheng in the car was originally a little drowsy, and he didn't think it was strange to know that the car stopped. Who would dare to intercept the car he was riding? Even if there is something and Chen Yuankang is there, there is no need for him to show up. Suddenly hearing Chen Yuankang's words, Gao Cheng didn't reflect it at first, and only after a moment did he understand what Chen Yuankang meant.

"Who is accompanying the Son of Heaven out of the outskirts of the city to greet him?" Chen Yuankang heard the prince in the car ask very calmly.

"There are only the lords and the middle attendants." Chen Yuankang took a closer look and replied to him.

Only the emperor and Lin Xingren. Gao Cheng heard it clearly, and couldn't help but feel a little evil in his heart. I don't know if it's to see the excitement? If it was really because the army was worried, the Son of Heaven gathered hundreds of officials to mourn and greet the suburbs to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, and he would admit it. But what kind of ritual is it that such a person who goes out on patrol in such a micro-suit does not bring it and quietly sits in the suburbs? It's more like going to raid.

"Help me get out of the car." After a long time, Chen Yuankang heard the voice of the prince in the car again.
