Half a month later.

"The border army has won a great victory!"

"The border army defeated the Tatar cavalry and killed five thousand enemies! Victory! ”

The border soldiers on fast horses shouted loudly and kicked their horses in the belly hard, and their horses galloped like the wind under their hips. The good news of the great victory at the border pass also spread quickly.

The people on both sides of the street were overjoyed and excited.

"Great! The border army won a great victory. ”

"This time, the Tatars should be completely killed. lest they come back in the future. ”

"That's right. Defeat them thoroughly, and let them pay tribute to our Great Chu! ”

The war report was sent to the DPRK, and everyone was happy. Emperor Xuanhe was so happy that he got up from the dragon chair and laughed: "Good! Good! Good! ”

Three good words in a row, it can be seen how happy Emperor Xuanhe is!

Wei Guogong arched his hand and smiled: "Border Pass is a big victory!" Pingxi Hou made great contributions, and the border army also made great contributions. Please also ask the emperor to reward meritorious deeds! ”

On the side, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, Jinning, and the Marquis of Yong'an, also came out of the ranks, and asked the Son of Heaven to reward the border army who had made great achievements and the Marquis of Pingxi, who led the troops to the battle.

Da Chu has the heaviest military merits. With the merit of guarding the border passes, the Pingguo Mansion ranks among the first noble families, and no one disagrees. Pingxi Hou led the troops to reinforce the meritorious, and now he led the troops to a big victory, with the temper of Emperor Xuanhe, there is no reason not to be rewarded!

Sure enough, Emperor Xuanhe smiled and said: "Pingxi Hou has made great contributions, and I want to reward him!" Spread my will, reward Pingxi Hou Liangtian Qiantian, and then reward Pingxi Hou the second son of the viscount. ”

Ministers: "......"

The Marquis of Pingxi is a hereditary title, and according to the rules of the court, the title will be passed on to the eldest son in the future, and it has nothing to do with the second son. Emperor Xuanhe opened his mouth and rewarded the second son of the Marquis of Pingxi with the position of viscount, which was indeed very generous.

However, Zhu Qijue, the second son of Pingxi Hou, is the future concubine of Princess Kangning and the quasi-son-in-law of Emperor Xuanhe. The Son of Heaven is so generous, obviously because the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders......

The ministers silently slandered in their hearts, and then slapped their sycophants and sang praises one by one! The emperor is wise!

The eldest prince and the second prince were also happy, but they were annoyed in their hearts.

How could such a good opportunity for meritorious service be snatched away by that rude and reckless man of Pingxihou? How good would it be if his uncle Zhenyuan Marquis (Yong'an Hou) went to the border pass?

……

The border army won the battle, Xuanhe Emperor Long's heart was happy, and the harem was also full of joy and jubilation.

Empress Pei passed on the oracle with a smile and sent a double monthly order to all the palace attendants in the harem. I also rewarded Cheng Jinrong with a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets.

This pair of sheep fat jade bracelets is a tribute treasure. The jade is delicate, smooth and transparent, worn on the wrist, and the wrist is also like a jade carving. Such a treasure, priceless.

Cheng Jinrong smiled and excused herself: "Niangniang has already rewarded me with many good things, and I dare not accept this pair of mutton fat jade bracelets." Let's keep it for yourself! ”

Or keep it, and when the six princes get married, you can make a meeting gift for your daughter-in-law!

Empress Pei seemed to have a glimpse of Cheng Jinrong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are still a lot of good things in the private treasury of this palace, and you can take them for you." ”

"This time the border pass won a big victory, thanks to Pingxi Hou's meritorious advice. He Xiaowei escorted the Tatar prince to the border pass, which was also a great achievement. Rewarding meritorious deeds is the emperor's business. This palace is also happy in my heart, so I will reward you with a pair of jade bracelets. You take it! ”

Wives are more expensive than husbands. Cheng Jinrong is He Qi's fiancée, He Qi has made great contributions, and Queen Pei's appreciation of Cheng Jinrong is also reasonable.

Cheng Jinrong had to smile and thank him.

In fact, Cheng Jinrong is on duty in front of the emperor on weekdays, and his dress is extremely simple. The jade bracelet is delicate and fragile, and she never wears these on weekdays. Queen Pei was heartfelt, she accepted the reward, and it was also put into the box.

Empress Pei had a good conversation, and said with a smile: "I have also heard about the battle report. This big victory has nothing to do with Yuan Silan. ”

Cheng Jinrong smiled and hummed.

She received a congratulatory letter yesterday. In the letter, He Qi described the situation of the day in detail, much more carefully than described in the war report.

On that day, Pingxi Hou led 20,000 soldiers out on the march. Yuan Silan stood on a specially made nine-foot-tall chariot, dressed in a tartar robe, and was clearly visible from a distance.

There are special equipment for shouting in the army. Yuan Silan stood on the chariot, holding the utensils, and shouted in Tatar to let the Tatar cavalry surrender to Dachu.

The vanguard battalion of the Tatar cavalry was in disarray and was quickly routed. The Tatar cavalry who came to meet the battle immediately afterwards also heard the shouts of His Royal Highness the Prince, some lost their will to fight, some shouted angrily, and some Tatar generals who had lost their minds stepped forward and wanted to step forward to kill Yuan Silan.

Pingxi Hou had already prepared and set up an ambush with Yuan Silan as bait.

The Tatar cavalry army was unstable and demoralized. This is the other, but the border army is as powerful as a rainbow of murderous intent. This big victory was simply expected.

He Qi went into battle for the "first time" and his performance was dazzling.

He led more than 200 personal soldiers to guard Yuan Silan's side. blocked many "stray arrows" for Yuan Silan. One of the arrows was dangerous, and it almost hit Yuan Silan's chest.

He Qi blocked with a knife in time, and the arrow missed, only hitting Yuan Silan's left shoulder, and Yuan Silan escaped.

“…… Yuan Silan is a scheming person who is good at forbearance. Forced to such a point, he was shouted insults by the Tatar cavalry, but his face still did not change. ”

"I will definitely take this opportunity to get rid of Yuan Silan. It's just that it's not the time for him to die. With him in his hands, the Tatar cavalry was demoralized and the army was in turmoil. Today was a great victory, and then we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely subdue the Tatars. ”

"When that day comes, Yuan Silan will be 'accidentally killed by an arrow'."

……

Empress Pei and Cheng Jinrong were gossiping, and Concubine Gu Shu led Princess Kang Ning here.

Concubine Gu Shu's face was full of joy, and she saluted with a smile: "The concubine has seen the queen's mother." Princess Corning also saluted respectfully and submissively.

Queen Pei smiled: "There are no outsiders, no need to be polite, sit down and talk!" ”

Princess Kangning decided on the family matter, and Concubine Gu Shu's heart went to the biggest one.

Now that the harem is peaceful and harmonious, and the future son-in-law has been rewarded with the title of viscount, Concubine Gu Shu only feels comfortable, and her laughter is much happier than usual.

Queen Pei smiled and quipped: "Concubine Shu's face is full of joy today, could it be that there is something happy?" ”

Princess Corning blushed with a delicate face.

She had seen Zhu Qijue a few times from afar, and she was quite impressed by his handsome face. Her father set this family affair for her, and she was very happy in her heart.

Concubine Gu Shu pursed her lips and smiled: "How can the concubine hide this little thought." The emperor rewarded the Marquis of Pingxi and gave the Marquis of Pingxi the title of second viscount, and the concubines were also very happy. ”

Pity the world's motherly heart.

Queen Pei listened to Concubine Gu Shu's words, felt a little emotion in her heart, and subconsciously glanced at Cheng Jinrong beside her.
