Chapter 192: Jing'an Palace
The Xiao family all knew that because Xiao Changde had been the regent for a few years, as the emperor became full-fledged, the Xiao family's merits became higher and higher, and the emperor gradually became jealous of the Xiao family.
The Xiao family is a king with a different surname, and Xiao Changde is not ready to let his descendants inherit the throne, but the emperor, for fear of being criticized by the world, weighed it again and again, and personally named Xiao Junyi, who is in the next generation, as the prince of Jing'an Palace.
But the Xiao family is not particularly interested in the position of the prince, so the people in the house used to call Xiao Junyi the son, and now they call him the young general.
Xiao Changde was overjoyed, and walked to the door in three or two steps, Xiao Junyi had already entered the courtyard: "Grandfather! ”
"Yi'er." Xiao Changde called, stretching out his hands to his grandson.
Xiao Junyi strode forward and held the calloused hands with both hands: "Grandfather, grandson is back." ”
At this moment, Xiao Changde's heart finally returned to his stomach: "My descendants of the Xiao family, how can those gutless rats be calculated!" Did you send someone to inform your mother? ”
Women's family, just can't withstand the wind and waves, since I heard that Yi'er had an accident, the daughter-in-law washed her face with tears at home all day long, Yi'er was dressed in the dust, presumably just arrived in the capital, and came to the palace, not yet to the general's mansion.
"I've asked someone to go and report my mother's safety."
Xiao Changde nodded, Yi'er was very measured in doing things whenever and where, looking at the shallow stubble on his grandson's chin: "Xiao Song." ”
Xiao Song also had a happy face, his face was already full of wrinkles, and now he was happy with folds: "I know, so I will order the kitchen to make some food for the young general." ”
Although Xiao Song is the housekeeper of this palace, he is not ordinary from the family, Xiao Changde does not allow him to call himself an old slave like the housekeepers in other mansions.
Moreover, even Xiao Junyi has a little respect for him: "Thank you Steward Song." ”
Xiao Song happily went out of the yard and went to the kitchen to guard in person, the young general worked hard all the way, it is not suitable for big fish and meat, it is good to prepare some light and digestible food.
The kitchen ladies in the kitchen had just lit the fire and prepared the ingredients, and a girl wearing a maid's costume, but much more delicate than an ordinary maid, hurriedly came over: "Grandpa Song, I heard that the young general came back safely, right?" ”
Xiao Song smiled lovingly: "Wan'er also heard the news?" It's back, it's in the prince's courtyard, the young general is in a hurry, I came to the kitchen and ordered to make some food. ”
"Let Wan'er come!"
The person named Xiao Wan'er is Xiao Bai's granddaughter, and after Xiao Bai's death, Xiao Song regarded her as his own granddaughter.
"Okay, you keep watch, I'll go back to the prince and see if there's anything to call me."
Xiao Wan'er sent Xiao Song out of the kitchen, turned around, took over the work in the hands of the cook, and carefully prepared food for the young general.
The Jing'an palace is very large, and the main courtyard where the prince lives is called Hongxiang Courtyard, which was inscribed by the emperor himself when the Jing'an palace was built.
In the study room of Hongxiang Courtyard, Xiao Changde asked, "Is Yi'er injured?" ”
"Minor injuries, no problems!" His grandfather's question made him think of the woman who was lying on his back to block his arrows.
Xiao Changde asked again: "Are the four winds okay?" ”
once accompanied the first emperor to fight the country, he naturally knew how important a few heartfelt subordinates were!
When Xiao Junyi was very young, Xiao Changde personally selected five boys who were his age, grew up with him, and trained together.
