In Zhaoyang Palace, because of the sudden arrival of Emperor Chu, the queen moved to sit on the left hand side of Emperor Chu.

The concubines who had just kept quiet and watched the battle between the queen and the concubine Liu immediately became energetic, and they all straightened their waists and smiled.

"The concubine looks at Your Majesty's good mood today." The queen glanced at the concubines below, smiled and asked. "I wonder what is the good thing that makes His Majesty so happy?"

"The Queen's eyesight is really good." Emperor Chu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he did look like he was in a good mood. "The matter of Saibei has been understood, and one of my major matters has finally been resolved."

The empress naturally knew about Emperor Chu's recent troubles, and immediately got up and knelt down when she heard the words.

Concubine De subconsciously looked at Concubine Liuhuang who was sitting opposite her, as if Concubine Liuhuang had known about this for a long time, she calmly bowed her head at Concubine De, and immediately got up and knelt down.

Concubine De also got up, and the other concubines immediately knelt down.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The queen led all the concubines to congratulate in unison.

"Hahaha." Emperor Chu laughed loudly and personally got up to help the queen. "Queen, get up."

"I wonder which general relieved His Majesty's worries so quickly?" Emperor Chu's close empress is still very useful. "It seems that the emperor can give a generous reward."

The concubines below watched the emperor help the queen up, and then got up one by one and sat back in their seats.

"The elder brother in the family already has a knighthood, and now it is his duty to share His Majesty's worries in the army." Concubine Liuhuang, who has been quiet since Emperor Chu came in, suddenly spoke, and the queen was stunned when she heard her words, and turned her head to look at her in some astonishment, and Concubine Liuhuang raised her eyebrows and looked at her and said with a smile. "Generous rewards are not necessary."

"It turned out to be the brother of Emperor Liu's concubine." The queen secretly hated in her heart, compared with the two, her brother had already won the throne of the world, and he only knew the wind and snow, drinking and feasting, and did not seek to be motivated, but the younger brother who was not in harmony with her brother and sister at home was not only more pleasing to his father, but now his career was smoother.

Looking at the two brothers of Emperor Liu's concubine, a civil minister and a military general, they are now the ministers of the humerus reused by His Majesty.

After the rebellion in Saibei started, Emperor Chu had a headache for a long time. But there are so many military generals in the Great Zhao, but it was her brother who came out this time and put down the rebellion of the Northern Saibei tribe.

"Speaking of which, there are still things to worry about the queen to deal with for me." Emperor Chu looked at the empress. "The leader of the chaotic tribe was shot on the spot, and now the remaining scattered tribes have been merged, and the new leader, Nasutu, has surrendered to my court, writing a bloody letter vowing never to rebel again."

"It's so good, I don't know what Your Majesty wants to tell your concubines to do?" The queen listened and bowed slightly.

"Nasutu also has to cooperate with the officials of Saibei to deal with the chaos after the rebellion is quelled locally, and he cannot enter Beijing for a short time. However, he sent his second son to Beijing as a proton and his eldest daughter to the palace. ”

Nasutu was originally one of the leaders of several tribes in this rebellion, but due to the situation and the weakness of his clan, he had to follow the rebels. But later, it was also because of his timely surrender and reporting that the later stage of this rebellion would be so smooth.

"I see, this time there is a newcomer to enter the palace to serve His Majesty, it is really a great joy." After hearing this, the queen's eyes darkened for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, she said to Emperor Chu with a smile on her face. "I don't know what position His Majesty intends to give her after this newcomer enters the palace?"

"That Su Tu sent his eldest daughter Bao Yinge, and he has also made a great contribution to quelling the chaos this time, so let's crown his daughter as Ning Guiren first." Emperor Chu weighed in his heart for a moment before he spoke.

"Your Majesty is really thoughtful." Thinking that the position of the noble person is not too high, and he is just a foreigner, even if he is favored and gives birth to an heir, the queen nodded with satisfaction. "Although the noble position is not high, in the end, his father has made great contributions to His Majesty. The concubine thought that she should give her a little more dignity if she was far away from home, and now that the Lingxi Palace was still vacant, it was better to give the Lingxi Palace to Ning Guiren to live alone. ”

It stands to reason that the main position of a palace is at least a concubine, and now several nobles and concubines with lower status in the palace can only live in the palace of high-ranking concubines.

However, the Lingxi Palace has been vacant for a long time, and now there are no concubines living in it. The queen said that if she would give the Lingxi Palace to Ning Guiren to live alone, Ning Guiren would be like the lord of the palace.

"Well, let's just let the queen arrange it like this." Emperor Chu was in his forties, and he was tall and handsome with the royal blood of the Xiao family, he smiled and took the queen's hand and whispered, and the queen's pale cheeks couldn't help but fly two scarlets. "The queen has the queen to take care of all the things in the harem, so I can feel at ease."

At this time, Wu Chuan, who was waiting behind Emperor Chu, looked up and caught a glimpse of a small eunuch who was usually following his apprentice Song Cheng outside the palace gate.

Wu Chuan knew that Song Cheng was going to play with the second princess with the pair of lion dogs today, and this little eunuch had found Zhaoyang Palace at this time, I was afraid that something big and small happened over there, and the apprentice would not be able to pay attention to it before he sent his subordinates to Zhaoyang Palace.

How much Emperor Chu cares about the daughter of the second princess in his heart, Wu Chuan knows it.

Emperor Chu has more sons than daughters under his knees, the eldest princess's biological mother's appearance and personality are not sharp, and she follows the queen all the year round, the eldest princess's personality is arrogant and domineering, so neither mother nor daughter is valued by Emperor Chu.

It's just that this eldest princess can't get used to the second princess, and she has to go to the second princess from time to time to make trouble.

"Wu Chuan, is that little eunuch outside the door your subordinate?" Before Wu Chuan could speak, Emperor Chu had already seen the person outside the door, turned his head to look at Wu Chuan behind him and said.

When Concubine Chen and Emperor Liu rushed to the imperial garden with Emperor Chu and the empress, Mama Zhang had been pushed to the ground by Xiao Lu's palace maids and couldn't afford to struggle, and Xiao Xuan, who was much shorter than Xiao Lu, was also pushed away by Xiao Lu who rushed to her. Xiao Lu is four years older than Xiao Xuan, and naturally her size and strength are much higher than Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan was pushed and stumbled several times in succession, her two feet couldn't stop stomping in one place, and she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell backwards. Mama Zhang just injured her waist, and she couldn't get up at this time no matter how anxious she was to rescue Xiao Xuan, but fortunately, Dan Tangerine was agile, and she pounced on it, put her body behind Xiao Xuan, and protected Xiao Xuan tightly.

"Xuan'er?!" Seeing this, Emperor Liu's concubine no longer cared about the rules in front of Emperor Chu and the empress, and hurriedly lifted the skirt she dragged to the ground and ran a few steps, rushing to the front of the emperor and the empress of Chu and running towards Xiao Xuan.

"Mother." Because of the timely protection of Dan Tangerine, although Xiao Xuan was not injured, she was also scared enough, her eyes were full of tears, and when she saw Emperor Liu's concubine rushing over, she immediately stretched out her little arm and cried and called her.

"Xuan'er, the mother concubine is here, don't be afraid." Concubine Liu gave birth to two princes who were resistant to falling and fighting, and it took many years before she gave birth to Xiao Xuan's baby bump. Don't look at Xiao Xuan's white and fat birth, he was also very weak when he was born, and he was pampered like a jewel for four years before he barely raised his body better.

Xiao Xuan has always loved and laughed, except for a few tears when she was sick and drank bitter medicine, how could she cry so heartbreakingly, Concubine Liu Huang stretched out her hand to Xiao Xuan in distress, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Dan Tang stood up and sent his little master to the arms of Emperor Liu. As soon as Xiao Xuan entered the arms of Emperor Liu's concubine, she shook her body like a little quail, buried her head in the neck of Emperor Liu's concubine, and big tears fell.

As soon as they saw that Emperor Chu and the Empress were also following, the palace people present immediately knelt down.

"Father? Queen mother? Seeing that Xiao Lu, who was finally able to educate Xiao Xuan well this time, suddenly saw Emperor Liu coming and was already retreating, and just wanted to turn around and run away, he bumped into Emperor Chu and the Empress with cold faces.

"Lu'er, don't kneel down yet!" Concubine Chen rushed forward and shouted at Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu was not angry in her heart, where was she willing to obediently listen to Concubine Chen's words and kneel, but as soon as she looked up and saw Emperor Chu's blue face, her legs couldn't help but weaken and knelt down.

"Song Cheng." Emperor Chu watched his little daughter crying pitifully in the arms of Emperor Liu's concubine, and Mama Zhang fell to the ground, obviously not knowing where she was injured, and now she couldn't even get up, so she had to call Song Cheng, who was kneeling on the side, to come over and ask.

Song Cheng is Wu Chuan's apprentice, and when Emperor Chu asks about it, he is impartial enough to tell the ins and outs of the future. But today, Xiao Lu was in trouble for no reason, and there was no need for Song Cheng to say more, Emperor Chu had already made a decision in his heart.

The queen looked at the mother and daughter of Emperor Liu, who were hugging each other and crying on the ground, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

The queen usually doesn't like Emperor Liu's concubine, and she also doesn't like the children born under her knees, and her favorite thing is Xiao Xuan, who is used to being coquettish and stupid in front of Emperor Chu like Emperor Liu.

It's just that Concubine Chen, who has followed her for many years, is not angry, and Concubine Chen is not favored, and she can't even raise a daughter well. Today's matter, she can't directly come forward to turn around for Xiao Lu, after all, so many pairs of eyes have seen Xiao Lu's bullying of Xiao Xuan.

"Your Majesty...."The Empress looked at Emperor Chu's face and just wanted to speak.

"Father." Xiao Xuan, who was nestled in the arms of Emperor Liu's concubine, finally saw a group of people coming from behind, and shouted with a crying voice.

"Xuan'er is good." Emperor Chu treated his sons harshly, but he was obedient to his young daughters. As soon as Xiao Xuan called him, he personally stepped forward and helped Concubine Liu Huang up, and carefully took Xiao Xuan, who was still sobbing from her arms, who had easily stopped her tears.

"Xiao Lu, do you know what you did wrong?" Although the youngest daughter and the eldest daughter have different statuses in Emperor Chu's heart, they are all his own blood relatives and flesh and blood, Emperor Chu endured his temper and asked in a low voice.

"Father, I'm right, I just want to play with those poodles. But Xiao Xuan didn't let me play, and let her slave stop me. Xiao Lu stiffened her neck and replied stiffly. I didn't do anything to her, I just let someone knock down an old slave. ”

"This old slave is a person from your aunt's grandmother's side, and he has a five-grade official body, do you think about it, you can't beat it?" Xiao Lu is his eldest daughter, and Emperor Chu can only teach patiently. "Xuan'er is four years younger than you, you don't want to take care of your sister all day long, but you have to bully and provoke every now and then, I don't know how your mother raised you on weekdays."

In Jokhang, when the princes reach a certain age, they must move out of their respective biological mothers and be brought up in a unified manner. But the princess is not bound by this rule, and the queen concubines who come to Jokhang are all from famous families, and it is more than enough to raise and raise the princess.

Concubine Chen's heart was shocked when she heard this.

"Please forgive your majesty." Concubine Chen pounced and knelt down. "The concubine is at fault, originally thinking that the eldest princess is still young, and she did not strictly control it. In the future, the concubines must be strictly ......."

"She's young, but she's also a sister, don't you even know the truth of at least allowing your sister?!" Before Concubine Chen finished speaking, Emperor Chu was already furious. "I think it's your usual indulgence that makes her so accustomed to her that she can't even tolerate her sister now, and she doesn't admit her mistakes when she makes them, and her mouth is full of truth. Mama Zhang is an old man who has been with her aunt for many years, and even I have to be more courteous, she is good, and she dares to let the palace maids around her do something to Mama Zhang. ”
