Cheng Jinrong seemed to notice, raised his eyes, and smiled at Queen Pei.

Queen Pei was happy in her heart, but also a little sour.

Her daughter is by her side, but she can't call her a mother. No amount of reward can make up for this regret. Compared with the suffering of mother and daughter in the past ten years, it is a gift from God that she can reunite with her daughter.

Empress Pei suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart, and said to Concubine Gu Shu with a pleasant face: "The second son of the Pingxi Hou Mansion also led the tolerance to the border this time. Now that the border has won a big victory, the situation is very good. Maybe they'll be back in Beijing soon. ”

Gu Shufei glanced at Princess Kang Ning with a smile: "Whether you make meritorious service or not is secondary, the most important thing is to return to Beijing safely." It is said that on the same day, the emperor decreed that the marriage was granted, and the second son of Zhu left Beijing the next day and failed to enter the palace to thank him. When he returned to Beijing, the concubine had to be cheeky and summon him to talk. It also made Corning and the future colt officially meet. ”

Princess Kangning's face turned even redder, and she hung her head in shame.

Queen Pei saw it in her eyes and naturally remembered Princess Shouning.

Compared with the supple and obedient Princess Kangning, Princess Shouning is impulsive, irritable and stupid.

Concubine Gu Shu obviously also remembered Princess Shouning, hesitated slightly, and said softly: "Niangniang, the concubine heard that Princess Shouning has been 'learning the rules'. ”

Gu Shufei spoke very tactfully. In fact, Princess Shouning was disgusted by Emperor Xuanhe, which is not new news. Inside and outside the palace, everyone knows.

The eldest princess of the dignified Chu Yan was placed under house arrest in the princess's mansion and followed her grandmother to "learn the rules". Moreover, those two grandmothers are well-known and powerful figures in the palace. The arrogant and willful Princess Shouning fell into their hands, and I don't know how much suffering they had to suffer.

Some people with long tongues chew their tongues behind their backs, and they have to implicate Queen Pei.

Empress Pei's eyes flashed, and she said lightly: "It's not that this palace doesn't feel sorry for Shouning." It's just that she spoke and acted informably, which angered the emperor. Hongu didn't dare to intercede for her. ”

Empress Pei's attitude was cold, and she made it clear that she didn't want to say more, but Concubine Gu Shu was quite knowledgeable and quickly opened the topic.

Princess Kangning bit her lip lightly and plucked up her courage to say, "Queen Mother, my daughter wants to talk to Imperial Doctor Cheng for a while. ”

Empress Pei knew the girlish thoughts of Princess Kang Ning, and nodded with a smile.

Princess Kangning quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng Jinrong smiled.

Cheng Jinrong replied with a kind and friendly smile.

……

Princess Corning's presence in the palace is thin. Cheng Jinrong has been in the palace for nearly two years, and Princess Kangning, who often comes to greet Empress Pei, has hardly spoken.

Princess Kangning and Cheng Jinrong entered the side hall and sent the palace maids away, and Princess Kangning blushed and said softly: "Second Prince Zhu is the cousin of Captain He, I heard that the two of them are like brothers, and Imperial Doctor Cheng and Second Prince Zhu are also familiar with each other. ”

This princess Corning is really gentle and shy, and she is so cautious when she asks about her future husband's temperament.

A smile flashed in Cheng Jinrong's eyes, and he nodded: "Yes, don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess, I am indeed familiar with Second Prince Zhu." ”

Without waiting for Princess Kangning to open her mouth to ask, she continued: "Second Prince Zhu is the second son in the family, and he is quite favored by the elders, and he used to be lazy and playful. During the general election of the imperial guards last year, he was extremely tough, he was injured and beaten, and he survived to the end, won the favor and praise of the emperor, and became the imperial guard. ”

"He has been on duty in front of the emperor for more than a year, and he has acted carefully and prudently, and he has never made a mistake."

can enter the eyes of Emperor Xuanhe, Zhu Qijue not only relies on his background, but also on a handsome face.

Princess Corning listened attentively, and her shyness gradually faded.

"He did his best in the palace, but when he was with a few friends after leaving the palace, he was different." Cheng Jinrong smiled and told a few interesting things about He Qi and the others when they got along.

Princess Kangning couldn't help but laugh: "A few of them are interesting. ”

Princess Kangning's appearance is not top-notch, and she is quite inferior to Princess Shouning. However, she has a gentle temperament, gentle manners, and does not have the domineering attitude of a princess, which makes people feel good.

Zhu Qijue can still be Princess Kangning, which is really his blessing.

Cheng Jinrong and Princess Kang Ning gossiped for a long time, and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious.

Princess Kang Ning suddenly sighed softly: "Imperial Doctor Cheng, I live in the palace all day, I don't know what is going on outside the palace." Actually, I have always been thinking about the royal sister in my heart and want to go to the princess's mansion to see her. However, my mother did not allow me to leave the palace at will. ”

Director Shouning is brutal and often bullies Princess Kangning. The two sisters have a mediocre relationship.

However, Princess Kangning is gentle and kind, and since Princess Shouning moved into the princess's mansion, she is always worried about it. Concubine Gu Shufei was tightly controlled, she wanted to inquire a few words, but she had nowhere to ask.

Cheng Jinrong looked at Princess Kangning and said softly: "The emperor is the father of Princess Shouning, and the queen is her own mother." If it weren't for Princess Shouning who made a big mistake, how could the emperor and Niangniang be punished heavily? ”

Although it was a little cooler to say this, Wei Chen still wanted to persuade Her Royal Highness the princess. When the emperor is completely discouraged, Princess Yun Shouning has entered the palace, and it is not too late for His Royal Highness to see Princess Shouning again. ”

Princess Kangning was quite able to listen to the persuasion, nodded, and did not mention Princess Shouning again.

……

After this day, there are frequent good news at the border gates!

Almost every time Yuan Silan goes into battle, he has to bring some injuries. However, they were all minor injuries that did not hinder their lives, and the divine doctor Cheng Wang personally took care of them, so that Yuan Silan had the strength to go into battle to "persuade him to surrender".

The Tatar cavalry was demoralized, the morale of the army was unstable, and they suffered heavy casualties.

The Tatar Khan Buchi was so angry that he fell ill, which made matters worse.

The border passes have won battles one after another, the battle situation is clear, the people of the capital are happy, and the officials of the court are excited and inspired. Liang Shangshu, who returned to the court to take charge of the household department, doesn't say anything now, and is busy raising grain and grass every day to prepare military salaries.

If the Tatars can be completely defeated, the border passes will be able to usher in a stable stability for several years or more than ten years. It is a great joy for the country and the people. At this time, even if Liang Shangshu breaks his leg and loses his hair, he is happy.

Emperor Xuanhe was also in a very good mood, and ordered to reward the Pingguo Mansion and the Pingxi Hou Mansion.

The eldest princess He, who had been "recuperating" for a year, was finally "cured" and could leave the hospital. I didn't move around in other places for the time being, and I only went back to my mother's house once.

The eldest prince personally accompanied the He family back to the Pingguo Mansion.

The young He Shiro has been training for half a year, and he speaks and acts quite calmly. Accompany the eldest prince to talk in the outer courtyard.

The eldest princess entered the inner hall.

Wei is still lying on the couch and recuperating, and he can't come out to meet people. Zhu stood beside Mrs. Tai with a bigger and bigger belly, and saluted together: "I have seen the eldest princess and concubine." ”

The eldest princess ignored the Zhu family, stepped forward quickly, helped Mrs. Tai with both hands, and said in a very affectionate tone: "Grandmother, hurry up and be polite." ”
