In this way, the two returned home with doubts, and they were greeted by many people, and the streets were full of people on both sides, and their eyes looked at them with endless excitement and pride.

This is their national strength!

"Very good! In this way, we have one more ally. The emperor took the contract presented by the eunuch, unfolded it and looked at it, and then laughed with satisfaction.

"This time to help the king of Kan Shan put down the rebellion, and the two of you completed the task excellently, and brought back a long-term contract, you can only be rewarded, come, reward!"

The emperor looked at the two figures in the audience, and felt happy in his heart, he can be assisted by such a talented person, instead of encountering such an enemy, it is simply a great blessing in life!

"Thank you for the reward." The two of them gained a lot after returning to China on this trip, although neither of them cared much about rewards and fame, but this does not mean that everyone does not care.

Seeing that the two of them were so favored, the other princes and the powerful adults in the court were a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

The credit of this Lian Yi is already great enough, if it is allowed to develop like this, I am afraid that it will be a high achievement!

Thinking of this possibility, everyone was shocked, and then secretly suppressed this thought, raised their eyes to look at the happy emperor, and sighed secretly in their hearts.

And what they didn't notice was that Du Heng of these people was careful in their eyes, but looking at the emperor's performance, they didn't seem to have such thoughts, so they didn't take it to heart.

Afterwards, the emperor found his confidant minister, and the two drank tea in the palace.

"What does Zheng Aiqing think of the Child?" The emperor was in no hurry to sip tea, and the two of them sat on the pavilion by the lake, and retreated from the envoys around them.

Lord Zheng, who was originally called into the palace by the emperor, was a little panicked in his heart, but after seeing the emperor retreat everyone, he understood that there was something important to discuss.

After hearing this, Zheng Da realized that he wanted to discuss with him about Lianyi, but Lianyi's ability alone was not easy to talk about, but I was afraid that this conversation would be a little difficult.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is able to be civil and martial, and he has made a lot of meritorious contributions for His Majesty, and the people love him very much." Lord Zheng didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this, but he answered cautiously.

And as for what his purpose is, that's none of his business.

When the emperor heard what he said, he didn't answer, and whispered what he said, "Wholeheartedly for me." ”

This made Lord Zheng on the side dare not speak out, try to reduce his sense of presence, and not think about the sacred heart.

"What do you think will happen if I hand over the city's guards to Lianyi?" Suddenly, the emperor's words rang in Lord Zheng's ears.

As soon as these words came out, Lord Zheng immediately raised his head in surprise and raised his eyes to look into the emperor's eyes, but just after facing him, he lowered his head in panic, and his heart was shocked.

The emperor's meaning, isn't that the intention to delegate power to His Royal Highness? Now Lian Yi is already very high in terms of power and prestige, if he gives the city defense army to Lian Yi, won't it make the people in the court even more hateful?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, Lian Yi will have more troubles.

But these were all imagined by him out of thin air, and he didn't dare to say it at all, so he had to follow the emperor's wishes, "His Royal Highness the Prince is now the time to be proud, and now he takes over this title, which is naturally a deep popular heart, and everyone will not have any objections." ”

When Lord Zheng said this, he cautiously raised his eyes to look at the emperor, trying to see some emotions on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, what he saw was only a complicated face.

"Okay, I already know about this matter, you can go back for the time being."

The emperor secretly sank his mind and planned to think about it again, but when he didn't expect it, this matter was still spread out.

"Master Guoshi, Concubine Xiang is invited." The next day, a eunuch came to the National Teacher's Mansion, and after the subordinates arranged the people in the living room, they hurriedly informed Du Heng.

Hearing this, Du Heng frowned, and then walked out.

When Du Heng just walked in to inquire, the eunuch immediately stood up and saluted her respectfully.

Seeing this, Du Heng approached and asked suspiciously: "I don't know what Concubine Xiang is looking for?" ”

They have just returned to China, what will happen to Concubine Xiang finding her at this time?

"Niangniang has been feeling a little unwell recently, and the doctors in the hospital have taken a look, but they can't see what the situation is, no, when the national teacher comes back, he will make the little one come to invite the national teacher to enter the palace to have a look."

After hearing Du Heng's question, the eunuch didn't dare to explain the situation to Du Heng lazy, in fact, this Xiang concubine has been uncomfortable for a long time, but the imperial doctors in the palace can't figure out what the situation is. As soon as he heard that Du Hengman was coming back, he didn't go to ask for a doctor, but directly invited him to the National Teacher's Mansion.

After Du Heng heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Okay, please wait a while, I'll clean up and go." ”

Hearing this, the father-in-law who came to deliver the message was naturally respectful and obedient, where did he dare to show any dissatisfaction!

Today's Lian Yi and Du Heng are not easily offended.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Lian Yi coming over, so he quickly put back the emotions released and stood aside respectfully.

"What's going on?" Early in the morning, he unexpectedly saw a figure who shouldn't have appeared, and Lian Yi looked at the person coldly, and then asked.

The eunuch hurriedly recounted the incident again.

At this time, Du Heng had already packed his things and walked out, and as soon as he saw Lian Yihou, he walked over to him, "I'm going to go to the palace, do you want to go together?" ”

At this time, the two of them have just returned to China, and the emperor must also have a lot of state affairs to deal with.

"Be careful." After hearing this, Lian Yi just shook his head at her, didn't say much, raised his eyes and looked at the eunuch, pulled Du Heng aside, and approached her and admonished.

Du Heng raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that he had a solemn face, obviously he was also suspicious of something, but she just went to see Concubine Xiang's illness, so nothing should happen, right?

"Master Guoshi, if you are ready, can you enter the palace with the little one, Concubine Xiang is still waiting!" Just when the two were whispering, the eunuch on the side spoke anxiously.

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of both turned to him, "Okay, let's go!" ”

didn't let him wait too long, and entered the palace on the day that Concubine Xiang asked for.

"Weichen has seen Concubine Xiang." After Du Heng followed the eunuch into the palace, he went straight to Concubine Xiang's palace, and at this time, Concubine Xiang happened to be sitting on a chair eating pastries and blowing the wind!

"Hurry up, please get up, the national teacher doesn't have to be formal." After Concubine Xiang heard the voice, she turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw Du Heng who was kneeling down and saluting, so she quickly got up and helped the person up.

The smile on his face is deeply aroused, and people unconsciously feel a sense of affinity.

"I wonder if the mother feels uncomfortable?" Du Heng's eyes fell on the stone table beside her, and saw the pastries on it, and this was in the courtyard, at a glance, he didn't look like an unwell person!

Du Heng secretly suppressed his doubts in his heart, and then smiled at her, followed her, sat down on the stone bench, unloaded the medicine box on his body, and put it at his feet.

As soon as she heard this, Concubine Xiang's expression paused, and then she stretched out her hand, supported her forehead with one hand, looked at Du Heng and said: "I don't know why, I always feel that my brain hurts a little recently, and I don't know what the situation is, and those old guys in the hospital can't help it, so I want the national teacher to take a look." ”

Du Heng didn't answer after hearing this, just silently stretched out his hand to test her pulse, and then quietly felt her pulse, seeing Du Heng's appearance, Concubine Xiang didn't make a sound again, the majestic wind blew through the branches, hit the two of them, and after a while, Du Heng opened his eyes.

"The national teacher has found out the situation of the main palace?" Concubine Xiang slowly withdrew her hand, her eyes fell on her, her eyes did not blink, and she was expecting that she would diagnose some symptoms.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it's just a little problem, and now this time period is the turn of spring and summer, and it's just a normal reaction of the changing season."

"That's good, that's good, since the national teachers have said so, then the palace will be relieved." Concubine Xiang nodded reassuringly, and then landed the wooden light on a table of pastries, "That's right!" This is the peach blossom cake made by the people, and the national teacher can try it. ”

As she spoke, Concubine Xiang reached out and pushed the pastries on the stone table in front of Du Heng, and said to her with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Hearing this, Du Heng looked at the plate of peach blossom cake, at first glance, it was quite good-looking, but her eyes did not show joy.

The tip of her nose moved slightly, and she slowly stretched out her hand to the plate of peach blossom crisp, and in this process, she could clearly feel that Concubine Xiang was a little nervous.

Du Heng secretly looked at this scene, reached out and picked up one of the peach blossom cakes, and put it in the sun to watch it, "This peach blossom cake is quite good-looking, I used to make peach blossom cakes in this palace, but I have never seen this style, what new tricks have come out of the imperial dining room?" ”

"Isn't it? This is a trick that just came out this year, and I don't know if it was the clever little girl who came up with it, but because it's a new trick, it hasn't been popularized in the palace yet. ”

Seeing that Du Heng picked up the peach blossom crisp, Concubine Xiang's whole person unconsciously tensed, but what she was waiting for was not that Du Heng would eat the peach blossom cake, but that she heard her doubts.
