Chapter 1260: Unexpectedly

But when he saw that the emperor's hand holding the letter paper was shaking, his expression was also very excited.

Suddenly, Zhou Hong stood up and sat back with a sigh.

"Father?" Seeing that his father was so excited, Zhou Jian was very worried and whispered.

"Zhou Jian, you immediately lead the Praetorian Guards, hurry to Qucheng, immediately, immediately." Zhou Hong put the letter in his hand on the case and ordered the eldest prince.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" A minister asked anxiously.

Zhou Hong ignored them, still looking at the eldest prince Zhou Jian; "Yanguo arranged for someone to send Fei Fei back, they are already on their way back, hurry up and pick them up."

Yes? No way?

In the main hall, most people were skeptical, unable to believe that this was true.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, don't be hasty."

"That's it, Your Majesty, it's the same if someone else picks it up." Some ministers began to speak in a panic to dissuade them.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, since the letter has been delivered, I will leave below." The messenger ignored the voices around him and spoke.

Zhou Hong listened, hesitated for a moment, and ordered Zhou Zhi to send it.

didn't stay, didn't say any words of thanks, Zhou Jian also left the hall with him.

"Your Majesty, what if this is a conspiracy of the Yanguo people? The eldest prince is here, it's dangerous. Another minister said worriedly.

Zhou Hong leaned back and picked up the letter again; "Conspiracy? So far, Zhong Aiqing thinks that if Yanguo really wants to do something to my Xixiang, what kind of conspiracy is needed? ”

He waved his hand and signaled to retreat.

The ministers listened to the emperor's words just now and became silent, yes, what His Majesty said is the truth!

After the ministers retreated from the main hall, Zhou Hong looked at the letter in his hand in a daze, the content of the letter was very concise, only said to send those children back, let this side also go to greet them, other than that, there was nothing else.

How can the people of Yanguo do this?

"Your Majesty, are you also worried that there is a problem here?" Gonggong Chen asked in a low voice.

Zhou Hong shook his head; "You step aside, I want to be alone."

Gonggong Chen retreated in response and cautiously closed the door of the palace.

It didn't take much effort for Empress Shangguan Xia to learn the news and hurried over.

Gonggong Chen hurriedly stepped forward and told him that the emperor wanted to stay alone for a while.

Shangguan Xia grabbed Gonggong Chen's arm; "What they said is true, did the people of Yanguo really send the emperors back?"

"If you go back to the queen's mother, it should be. The letter was personally opened by His Majesty, and the old slave did not see the content on it. Chen Gonggong reported truthfully.

When Shangguan Xia heard this, she looked at the closed door of the palace, hesitated again and again, but did not step forward, did not leave, and stood in place.

She was only sure of one thing, that is, those children in Yanguo, with the care of Mrs. Napin, should not suffer and be safe.

Originally, I thought that when my husband figured it out, he would arrange for a delegation to go to Yeonguo to express his gratitude and sincerity.

And then at least in another year or two, when the relationship between the two countries is really relaxed and stable, and then we will discuss the issue of those children.

However, I didn't expect that Yeonkook would send those children back now.

"Queen Mother, why don't you go into the side hall and wait? It's cold outside. Gonggong Chen asked tentatively.

"No need, Hongu is back." After Shangguan Xia finished speaking, she glanced at the door of the hall again, and turned to leave.

Waiting for the palace maid not far away, as well as Yu Guifei and others, they also followed back.

In a short time, the queen's bedroom was crowded with people.

The concubines, nobles, and several princesses of the palaces all rushed over after hearing the news.

A few days later, at noon, Zhou Jian finally arrived in the capital with thirty-seven royal children.

As soon as they entered the palace gate, the children in the carriage lifted the curtains and saw the queen mother who had been waiting there for a long time, and the concubines immediately got out of the carriage and ran towards their mothers.

For a while, the little ones didn't care about the ceremony, and the adults looked for their children in a panic, found hugs, and cried.

The youngest Lian'er was still asleep in Xun Fei's arms, and was woken up by crying, and she also cried, the third princess hugged her child, looked at the child's little face and was fatter than when she left, and quickly coaxed the child softly with tears of joy.

"Okay, the children are back safely, it's a happy thing, don't cry. Hurry back and wash up, and go to see Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. Shangguan Xia wiped away her tears and spoke.

As soon as she said it, the others realized that they were out of shape, and hurriedly took their children and hurriedly went to the dormitory to wash up.

Half an hour later, the thirty-seven children who came back washed and freshened up, gathered in the queen's bedroom, and then went to see Zhou Hong together.

Looking at these children in front of him, Zhou Hong's heart was finally steady.

Looking at the children's ruddy faces, Zhou Hong was finally able to determine that what Xun Ying said before was not exaggerated or untrue.

Yanguo people are indeed good to these children.

Zhou Hong looked at every child carefully, and except for Xun Ying, they really came back.

Zhou Hong has also thought a lot about it in the past few days, and he really didn't expect that as the king of a country, he would be so nervous about these children for the first time in his life.

At this moment of seeing the children, Zhou Hong suddenly felt that he was a little like an ordinary father in an ordinary family.

In my heart, in my eyes, in my head, all I was thinking about were these children, not about state affairs.

"Father, the son must grow up quickly, and the father will also find a powerful master for the son, and the son must be like the Nine Emperor Brothers, practicing kung fu diligently to protect my Xixiang." In the silent hall, Xun Qing opened his mouth first.

"Father, son."

"Erchen is too, Erchen grows up to be a general, a general who can go into battle to kill the enemy." With Xun Qing taking the lead, the other children also followed.

"Ahem." Shangguan Xia coughed softly, wanting to remind the children not to lose their temper.

However, it didn't work.

"Okay, Father is waiting for you to grow up." Zhou Hong's nose was sour, and he responded with a smile.

"Huh? Grandfather Huang, it seems that he is not as fierce as before. A glutinous voice sounded, it was Zhou Lingxiao, the youngest daughter of the eldest prince Zhou Jian.

When the eldest princess heard this, she hurriedly looked at Zhou Hong nervously, fortunately, His Majesty showed no signs of anger, and she was relieved.

Zhou Hong naturally stood up, and he blamed himself very much when he heard the words, it turned out that he was a very fierce person in the eyes of the children!

Because I received the news that noon would come, whether it was the emperor or the queen, lunch was useless, and I didn't see the child come back safely, where could I eat. So, I didn't eat lunch.

Zhou Hong personally ordered a banquet for the children to catch the wind and wash the dust.

During the banquet, Zhou Hong noticed that several children were whispering something.

"Little Nineteen, what are you talking about?" Zhou Hong asked casually with great curiosity......
