Chapter 585 - Reasonable
Chapter 585 is reasonable
The flowing guzheng rhyme is transmitted through the palace curtain for a long time, and the aftermath lingers.
Occasionally, he was accompanied by a somewhat soft voice singing, although the lyrics were not too real, Chen Kefu from outside could hear that this was a northern minor.
Several palace maids standing in front of Princess Chen's bedroom saw Chen Kefu's arrival, and they all showed a look of surprise on their faces. As the palace maids and eunuchs beside Concubine Chen, they care more about Chen Kefu's favor for their master than the eldest grandson Wuji. Princess Chen is always so open-minded and never takes the initiative to compete for favor, but they always hope that King Chen can come to Princess Chen more often. They had to inquire every day about where King Chen had stayed the night before. If they heard that they were spending the night at another lady's place, they would tell their eldest grandson about it.
When the palace maids outside the door saw Chen Kefu, they seemed to be happier than any reward, and stepped forward with a smile on their faces to lead Chen Kefu into the palace.
"Princess, Your Highness is here!" The palace maid couldn't wait to say loudly.
Chen Kefu stepped into the hall, and the melodious sound of the guzheng and the beautiful singing voice just now also came to an abrupt end.
The eldest grandson Wujian sat on a soft chair given to her by Chen Kefu with his feet, and his white jade hands were still caressing the guzheng. She looked up at Chen Kefu who walked in, with a slight smile in her eyes. It's been almost five months since she was pregnant, and she's gradually becoming pregnant. The eldest grandson followed Chen Kefu's advice, and when he stayed in the palace, he no longer wore those prosperous palace clothes, nor did he wear those heavy jewelry, let alone apply those cosmetics containing a lot of lead powder on his face.
Under the red candle light, a black hair is a little unkempt but adds a bit of lazy beauty, and when he looks up, the elegant silk palace skirt on his body flashes with the light of the candle flame.
"Honey!" Chen Kefu stepped forward in two steps, hugged the forehead of the eldest grandson and kissed it gently, "You are really getting more and more beautiful, they all say that pregnant women are the most beautiful, and sure enough, the concubine exudes a holy maternal brilliance all over her body." ”
Although the eldest grandson Wujian and Chen Kefu have been married for more than half a year, they are still a little uncomfortable with Chen Kefu's intimate actions.
A face instantly turned red, his eyes were full of shy sweetness, and he didn't forget to take his eyes to look at the palace maids on the side. Seeing that the palace maids were holding back their smiles with their hands over their mouths, I felt even more shy.
"Your Highness." The eldest grandson lightly tapped Chen Kefu's chest.
Chen Kefu chuckled, and with his eldest grandson, it seemed that the endless court, military, and cumbersome things were gone, and all that was left in his heart was warmth and relaxation.
"I still remember the meeting on the Shaomuro Mountain, it was the first time I saw you, but I already saw that you were different from ordinary women."
The eldest grandson also chuckled, as if remembering the first meeting.
"Does Your Highness think that the concubines do not have the gentleness of everyone's ladies?"
"How come, I just think you are generous and temperamental, and you left a deep impression when we met for the first time. If you change the general lady, I am afraid that I will burst into tears when I encounter the events of that day. ”
The eldest grandson Wujian chuckled, "The concubine is actually not a lady in the first place, although our ancestor is the Xianbei Tuoba clan, he is also a royal family. But I moved from Pingcheng to Luoyang with Emperor Wen very early, although our grandfather and father were officials in the Sui Dynasty, but my father died early, thanks to my uncle who took me and my brother Wuji. Although I have lived in Luoyang, Kyoto for more than ten years, I don't have many happy memories in my impression, and I have relied on each other since I was a child, so I haven't learned the virtuous ladies of everyone, but some of them are like wild girls who understand the hardships of life early and are precocious. ”
Chen Kefu took the eldest grandson's hand and stroked her bulging lower abdomen, "Speaking of which, although the hardships of life in the early years made you suffer a lot. But it also makes you more atmospheric and virtuous, if when I first met you, you were just a lady like those princes and nobles in Kyoto, maybe we wouldn't know each other today. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you. ”…,
"Marrying a virtuous wife like you is a blessing for me. With you helping me take care of the inner room, the harmony in the home saves me a lot of attention. And your eldest brother Wuji and uncle Gao Shilian are both rare talents in Anbang to help the world, and with them helping me, the court is also a lot more comfortable. ”
The eldest grandson Wujian frowned slightly, "Your Highness, the concubine still has something to say to His Highness." Although Wuji and his uncle are talented, one of them is the brother of the concubine and the other is the uncle of the concubine. Even if they are talented, they are also relatives of the descendants. Although he didn't read much, he also knew that his relatives had too much authority, which was easy to cause his relatives to interfere in politics, which was not a good thing. Especially Wuji, who is only twenty-two now, is already ranked as the prime minister, and he really shouldn't, just for fear of provoking criticism from others. Not only will it damage His Royal Highness's good name, but it will also have a bad impact on the eldest grandson's family and Wuji. ”
Chen Kefu shook his head, "I don't need to say much about my concubine, I have always used people on the basis of merit, and I don't shy away from relatives." The use of Mowgli and Gao Shilian is not entirely because they are your brother and uncle, but because they are both talented and loyal to me. Wuji is indeed only twenty-two years old, but I am only twenty-seven years old now, and Xuanling, Ruxuan, and Chen Jie are all about thirty. Our court is full of young people, and I am eclectic in using talents. ”
"I let Wuji go south with the army last year, and then let Wuji enter Hedong, this time it was born and died, and Wuji never complained, he could help me so much, how could I live up to him. Last time, Wuji hurriedly returned to Beijing and Chaoji, stayed for three days and hurried back to Hedong, it was really hard for him. By the way, I remember you also have a half-brother named Anye, right? ”
"An Ye is a concubine and Wuji's half-brother, after my father died, he was the one who drove me and Wuji out of the house regardless of family affection. If it hadn't been for my uncle, my brother and sister would have starved to death on the streets. What does Your Highness ask him to do today? When he was kicked out of the house, the concubine and Wuji had already sworn that they would have nothing to do with him. ”
Chen Kefu said: "A few days ago, he brought me a letter through a businessman who traveled to and from Hebei, hoping to move his family to Beijing. I also know the old things about the three of you, but you are now Princess Chen, and you will be my queen in the future, and if you refuse to settle down, it will inevitably be criticized in the future. You don't have to worry about this matter, I have already sent someone to pick them up from Beijing, and then I will arrange another idle position with him, that is. ”
The eldest grandson Wujian understood that Chen Kefu would definitely not like a person with such a despicable character as An Ye, but for the sake of his own reputation and Wuji's reputation, he still took the initiative to bring An Ye over, which made the eldest grandson grateful. But today, Chen Kefu always revealed a bad feeling in and out of his words, which made her a little uneasy.
"Is Your Highness going on another expedition?" The eldest grandson looked directly at Chen Kefu, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
Chen Kefu nodded, "There is news from the grassland that Zhao Qi, who sent the envoy to the grassland, has successfully broken the alliance between the Western Turks and the forces of the Central Plains. Moreover, he used a trick to kill the Shooter, and now he has provoked a fight between the younger brother of the Shot, the Yehu Khan, and the new Great Khan Daro. Daro and Tongye Hu have started a war, and the two sides are currently winning and losing each other, Daro has retreated to Shule, and currently Daro occupies the western places such as Shule, Khotan, Shaye, and Tocharo. And Tong Yehu captured the Western Turkic Khan's Tent Sanmi Mountain, and occupied Qiuzi, Yanqi, Gaochang, Tiele Xue Yantuo and other countries in the Western Regions, and now the tribal alliance that invaded the Eastern Turks is also subject to him. The powerful Western Turks have been divided into two by the Sanmi Mountains and the Chisha Mountains. ”
Speaking of the upheaval in the Western Turks, Chen Kefu's voice couldn't hide the excitement and excitement. The chaos in the Western Turks not only removed a huge threat from the north, but also cut off the support of the separatist forces in the northwest. Seeing that it was too late for the Daluo Khan and the Tongye Hu Khan to fight with each other, how could they have time to reach out to the Central Plains again. …,
Chen Kefu stared at the northwest direction, where he was about to fight.
Holding the hand of the eldest grandson, Chen Kefu said calmly, "In a few days, I will lead the army to Hedong." This battle in Hedong is about whether our Chen family can win the north and get the world. This time the stakes are so high, I have to personally lead the army to the expedition, maybe this expedition will take a long time, maybe by the time you give birth, I will not be able to rush back. ”
The eldest grandson leaned his body against Chen Kefu's chest, "Chen Lang is the most trusted concubine, you can always take on great responsibilities, always conquer everything, and be invincible." Of course, Hedong wants to get it, and Datang certainly wants to win the world, but if Chen Lang has any accidents, the concubine would rather Chen Lang be just an ordinary person, and he can weave with the concubine for a lifetime. If you take Hedong today, you will still take Hedong in the future, but if there is no Chen Lang, even if the imperial court really unifies the Central Plains, what can it do? ”
Chen Kefu stroked her back and comforted, "Actually, there is no danger in going to Hedong this time. Now that all the main forces of Li Tang are going south, Taiyuan is empty, and it is the time for the imperial court to take Hedong. I'm just a little relieved that you and the baby in your belly. When I think of you giving birth, I can't be by your side, and I always feel indebted to you. ”
The eldest grandson straightened up, wiped his moist eyes, and broke into a smile, "Actually, the concubine was also worried for a while, with the bravery of His Royal Highness, this expedition to Hedong will definitely be successful." His Royal Highness does not need to worry too much about concubines and children, the ancients said that the major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong. Conquest is a big deal, and it must be done. Don't worry, you have to do it, you still have to do it if you are worried, it is better to do it with confidence. When he returned victoriously, His Highness had time to spend with his concubines and children. ”
"Concubine Ai said it well, it is really reasonable, the biggest thing in the country is indeed sacrifice and war. I can only temporarily wronged your mother and son, and when the world is unified in the future, I will compensate you well. Chen Kefu gratefully embraced the eldest grandson in his arms.
