Chapter 689: The New Man Wins the Old Man
689
Suddenly, another month or two passed, and it was already spring.
The streets of Zhaoyi suddenly became extremely lively, and it turned out that the second prince had returned victoriously.
The people greeted and cheered loudly. The second prince was riding on a horse, and his complexion was obviously much darker, but he was full of spirit and heroic.
Long before that, good news had already reached the palace.
The queen's originally anxious heart finally fell to the ground, and then she couldn't help but be relieved.
The subordinates of Fengyi Palace are also happy one by one, and when they saw Cuiming Palace, they inevitably felt a little unbearable on their faces when they saw Cuiming Palace, but now it is different, the second prince is a person with military merits, which makes them more confident.
"His Royal Highness lives up to expectations, it's really a long face for the mother!" Bai Lu said to the queen with a smile in his eyes: "I heard that the Holy Lord really praised Long Yan Dayue in the previous dynasty, and those ministers who were a little unconvinced before have also changed their tunes this time. I don't dare to talk nonsense in the future, so what if Concubine Zeng Li has five princes? It's just a nursing doll, how can it be compared to the crown prince and the second prince who can share the worries of His Majesty! ”
"As a prince, it is within our duty to share the emperor's worries, and we must not be proud of our achievements." The queen taught: "Beware of being used by those who have a heart, and merit will become excessive." ”
"Yes, yes, or the mother is far-sighted, and the slave is just happy." Bai Lu hurriedly slapped his mouth lightly.
Although the queen said so, of course she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, just like Bai Lu said, the second prince has made military achievements, which will only make the prince and the queen sit more firmly in their respective positions.
Concubine Zeng Li is certainly favored, but the emperor should also have a relatively fair measure, otherwise those courtiers will not agree.
"Speaking of which, this Miss Yu is really a female Zhuge ," Bai Lu couldn't help but praise Yu Shan: "This is indeed a wonderful move, our move can be regarded as the right one." ”
"yes, that's a good idea. It's a bit risky, but it's effective. The queen nodded approvingly and said, "It's a shame that the crown princess still came to me at that time to persuade me bitterly, saying that it is inappropriate to say anything, and the risk is too great." Could it be that she is literate and does not know the phrase that wealth and wealth are in danger? ”
At that time, Xiao Qingqing heard that the second prince was going to lead the army to suppress the bandits, and immediately came to the queen.
The queen already had a grudge against Xiao Qingqing, and she was naturally very unhappy to see her say this, so she was still a little uncomfortable when she thought of what happened before.
"The crown princess is really too cautious, just like the previous Wei girl." Bai Lu said: "People like them can protect themselves at most, but it is too difficult to take the initiative. ”
"Yes, Yining was too cautious back then, she was indeed smart, but she was conservative." The queen commented: "Yu Shan, this girl is very bold, I didn't like such people before. But now it seems that when it comes to a real crisis, you have to be such a person. ”
"What Niangniang said is very much, it's all this time, we can't blindly let others slaughter, I think that Concubine Zeng Li has to inch in, if she doesn't kill her arrogance, I'm afraid she will have more thoughts."
"Okay, let's not talk about her." The queen still doesn't like to mention Concubine Zeng Li: "Speaking of Yining, I don't know if she has any news?" A few days ago, Duanmin was so anxious that he sent people around to find her. ”
"The minion listened in a trance and hadn't found it yet. Miss Wei had been looking for her brother outside the Saiwai for months, and there had been no news. The slave probably encountered an accident, otherwise he would have come back a long time ago, and even if he couldn't come back, he should write a letter to his family and report his safety. ”
"Alas, it's really strange and pitiful, this child has been miserable since he was a child." The queen couldn't help but sigh: "Thinking that when she first entered the palace, I was going to give her to Mao Ji, but now I think about the past like a lifetime." ”
"Why should Niangniang be sad for her, I want to read the two companions around the county lord at the beginning, and Niangniang has always been gracious. But at first, Wei Lanqi refused to serve, and then the Wei family deliberately violated the mercy order, which seems to not take you seriously. Although Wei Yining has done her best, she is not loyal to you, but just to rehabilitate her father. In fact, these two people have lived up to the high expectations of the mother, why can't you let them go? "The head of what Bai Lu said is the Tao.
"Alas, I have suffered losses in this life, and I have suffered losses in my heart." The queen smiled bitterly and said: "Now that I think about it, except for those who are connected by blood, the rest of the people have their own hearts. ”
"Niangniang, don't be sad, presumably in a while, His Royal Highness should enter the palace." Bai Lu hurriedly picked up the happy words and said: "The servants went to the imperial dining room and asked them to prepare a table of noodles, the queen will be in Fengyi Palace today to give the second highness the wind, the emperor will definitely come." ”
"Yes, then you can go down and prepare." The queen's expression really became happy: "By the way, I have to think about what is good for rewarding Yu Shan." This girl has really helped me a lot. ”
"Miss Yu has no father, no mother, no family, and the queen is her relative in this palace." Bai Lu said: "She doesn't depend on who you rely on." ”
"She is so loyal to me, I naturally will not treat her lightly, I have always been a person who does not hesitate to reciprocate."
The queen is also telling the truth, although she doesn't have a city, she is better than having a soft temperament and giving grace casually.
The second prince entered the palace at noon, and he didn't have time to change his clothes to meet the queen in Fengyi Palace, when the prince and princess were in Fengyi Palace.
"Although it's only been a month or two, Uyoshi is a lot older than before," the prince said with a smile: "Such a heroic posture is really a general's demeanor." ”
"It's much more interesting outside than in the palace, and it's really fun to fight." The second prince looked excited: "It's a pity that those bandits can't help but fight, to be honest, I haven't fought enough!" ”
"Talking like a child!" The Empress said, "Be cautious when speaking in front of your father and the Emperor's ministers. ”
"Don't worry, I can tell the difference between inside and outside." The second prince said.
The queen was very pleased, but there was also a faint sadness in her heart. Although the second prince is a little reckless, he has been in good health since he was a child, unlike the prince, everything is good, but his body is weaker and he often loves to get sick.
As soon as the mother and son had spoken for a while, someone from the palace came in to report that the emperor had arrived, and everyone got up.
The emperor was obviously much happier than usual, and said, "Get up, don't be formal!" Uyoshi pacified the bandits this time, benefited the people, and supported Sheji, which can be regarded as a hero of the country. ”
"The father and the emperor praised falsely, but the sons and daughters did their best, and the real credit should be those soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy and the blessing of the father." The second prince said respectfully.
The queen didn't expect his second son to be able to say such decent words, and she couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
