Chapter 353: Harmony
"Your Majesty." Yang Jiaojian stepped forward and knelt down on his knees and said urgently, "Weichen has no military merits, how can he take on the position of commander, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be convinced." ”
He knew in his heart that once he took control of the military power, the prime minister's plan to seek power would be gradually implemented, as a son of man, he must not confess his father's rebellion to the emperor, so that the Li family would be destroyed by the whole family, Yang Jiaojian could not be ruthless, so he had to shirk If General Yun insisted on obeying the ancestral teachings, Weichen proposed that the emperor should choose a talented person among the generals to take charge of the military power. ”
"Lord Yang is bold and dares to shirk the heavy responsibility entrusted by the emperor." Li Chengxiang pointed at it with a serious face.
"Yang Aiqing has to resist the order?" Empress Dowager Duan asked majestically.
"Wechen doesn't dare."
The questioning of the two made Yang Jiaojian's face pale slightly, and he knelt on the ground and bowed his head slightly, praying that the emperor would accept his request.
At this time, the ministers exchanged heads and discussed one after another, there was a slight commotion among the generals, and some people's indignant expressions clearly revealed displeasure, and the scene was slightly out of control.
"General Yun, I sent Jiao Jian to act as your agent for a few military affairs, I still say the same thing, the commander of the three armies must be you, I will allow you to go back to Yizhou to rest for a while, and think about it carefully." Xuanyuan Rui spoke decisively, suppressed the rioting hall, and turned his eyes to look at Yang Jiaojian, "Jiaojian, I have appointed you as the deputy commander General Wei Zhen, and General Yun will leave the post for a period of time, and you will temporarily take charge of the military power, Jiaojian, take the order." ”
"Your Majesty...... Wechen took the order. As a last resort, Yang Jiaojian took the will.
"The generals listened to the ......" Xuanyuan Ruishu returned to the main story and continued to confer meritorious soldiers.
Prime Minister Li looked at the golden handsome seal in Yang Jiaojian's hand, and the corners of his mouth faintly showed a smile, and no one in the people wandering in the festivities was aware of it, but Yang Jiaojian clearly captured the sinister smile of his biological father, and Yang Jiaojian's heart swelled with turbulent waves, as if a catastrophe had come to him.
Xuanyuan Rui rewarded the heroes, everyone returned to their seats and sat down, the celebration banquet began, the monarch respected the heroes, the ministers respected the emperor, the music in the palace sounded, the palace eves danced, and the ministers raised their glasses to congratulate.
Yun Xiao saw that the situation was resolved satisfactorily according to her wishes, and got up and retreated.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are a little tired, so they will retire first."
"Go and rest."
The emperor celebrated with the Aiqing, and the mourning family also went back to the palace. After that, Empress Dowager Duan originally didn't have much of a holiday with the queen, if it weren't for the disturbance of the Yun family's threat theory, she would still be willing to get along with the queen, and now Yun Fengjin has resigned from the army, but she has a heart problem, and next, she wants to ease the relationship with the queen.
The Queen Mother smiled kindly at Yunxiao, "Queen, the mourning family and you haven't been together for some days, let's go to the mourning family for tea." ”
"Thank you, Mother." Yun Xiao didn't understand why the Queen Mother's mind suddenly changed. Yun Fengjin resigned, and the Yun family's threat theory came to an end, and the palace should also be.
The Queen Mother is a woman who is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, and the reason why she treats herself coldly these days is because she is worried that the Yun family threatens the imperial power. In this strict palace, no matter who is stained with the breath of imperial power, they will become self-defeating and hard-hearted.
"Queen Mother, please go down the jade steps carefully." Yun Xiao understands Empress Dowager Duan's thoughts, and she should be respectful to her husband's mother in terms of obligation.
"Don't worry about the mourning family, the mourning family has hard legs and feet, you have to take good care of yourself. Xiaowan, Jade Cicada, you hold on well, you must not be negligent for half a point, and the queen can't be touched by the dragon heir. ”
"The slave obeys." Xiao Wan replied respectfully, looking at the Queen Mother who was like two people on weekdays, and felt very surprised.
Although Empress Dowager Duan and Yun Xiao were still a little jerky in their hearts, they still slowly walked down the jade platform together, the ministers sent each other with courtesy, the two walked out of the hall side by side, Xuanyuan Rui sent the two to the outside of the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids of the two palaces waiting outside the hall greeted each other with courtesy.
Empress Dowager Duan walked slowly along the front porch of the main hall, looked sideways at the silent queen beside her, and spoke first, "The mourning family will return the phoenix seal to you another day, and the harem must be led by the queen." ”
"The queen mother, the concubine is pregnant and has difficulty moving, so Fengyin should let Yu Cairen continue to manage it."
"Some time ago, the mourning family was not thoughtful, and the rest of the people had no talent and no wisdom, and they couldn't hold up the phoenix seal, and you really couldn't care about this phoenix seal." Empress Dowager Duan set things right, as a generation of strong women, she must have the measure of being able to stretch and bend.
"The concubine obeys the decree of the queen mother." Yun Xiao's heart was as calm as water, and she didn't show a trace of excitement. Rights are not important to her, what matters is to be close to the heart of the beloved.
"The mourning family asked the imperial doctor, you are pregnant with the prince in this birth." Compared with the two of them, the Queen Mother is more enthusiastic.
"After having a mother, she still cares about her concubines." Yun Xiao accosted her, although her tone was soft, it seemed to have a bit of teasing.
"Uh, the mourning family cares about the imperial grandson in your belly, hahaha......" Empress Dowager Duan covered up her embarrassment with a string of laughter.
"Queen mother, the concubine misses the second prince, please fulfill the queen mother." Speaking of the prince, Yun Xiao was a little more eager and wanted to get closer to the second prince. These days, I have been to Ningshou Palace with the emperor to ask for peace, and I have met the second prince a few times, but I just met and said a few affectionate words.
"Fulfillment, mourning for the family to fulfill you, mother and son are connected, the second emperor and grandson also want you as the queen mother, the queen will come over often in the future, the second emperor and grandson are very smart, the writing has made great progress than before, and can recite poems."
"There is a queen to teach the emperor." Yun Xiao's eyes immediately turned red when she received the Queen Mother's ban, and when she saw that the Queen Mother was already so refreshed and had no mustard, she also untied her heart knot and integrated into her enthusiasm.
Empress Dowager Duan has also spent her days in a tangled situation, on the one hand, she is heartbroken in the face of Yun Xiao's punishment in the cold palace and being poisoned, and on the other hand, she has to suppress her all the time, if it weren't for the Xuanyuan family, she wouldn't treat Yun Xiao like this. Today, Yun Fengjin took the initiative to let go of the military power in the main hall, and showed his loyalty to Dongchen with his actions, and the queen mother's heart was suddenly relieved, the crisis was lifted, and the next step was to appease the queen's traumatized heart.
"Queen, the mourning family likes the second emperor grandson very much, after you give birth to this imperial grandson, the mourning family wants to remind the emperor to canonize the second emperor's grandson as the crown prince." Empress Dowager Duan chatted with the queen as if she had been reunited after a long absence, so as to eliminate the rustiness of these days.
At this moment, what Yun Xiao cares about is the reunion of mother and son in the true sense, and she is like an arrow to Ningshou Palace. Regarding the queen mother's statement about appointing the second prince as the crown prince, Yun Xiao wanted to stop it but was unable to do it, the crown prince will be the second prince sooner or later, even if he doesn't want his son to be the emperor, it won't help much. The second prince is a descendant of the Xuanyuan family, and his intelligence was revealed at a young age, and the emperor and the queen mother's mother and son of course love it, and they must be established as the crown prince and be the prince of succession, so let it be, this is also the fate of the second prince, and the mandate of heaven cannot be violated.
Yun Xiao and Empress Dowager Duan walked down the high platform of the Purple Gold Hall together, and the two of them sat separately on their own double phoenix luan car, which was more luxurious compared to Yun Xiao's Luan car.
"The Queen Mother starts driving Ningshou Palace!" Yikang preached loudly.
"The queen mother drove Ningshou Palace!" Li Yuan preached loudly.
As soon as the voices of the eunuchs in charge of the two palaces fell, Feng Luan got up, and the two people formed a road, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, and moved towards Ningshou Palace.
The second prince sat under the yellow parasol to watch the sword dance performance of the palace guards, Zixuan stood beside him to serve, and suddenly a high voice came: "The queen has arrived." ”
"The mother is behind!"
The second prince jumped up from his seat and ran to the palace gate as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Zixuan chased after her worriedly.
"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." Met the queen mother in the corridor, and the second prince knelt on the ground excitedly and saluted.
"Emperor, why are you out of breath?" Yun Xiao squatted down and took the emperor into her arms, and asked heartache.
"Erchen wants to hurry up to meet the queen mother." The second prince reached out and hugged Yun Xiao's neck, Yun Xiao wanted to pick up the emperor, but she couldn't hold her when she was pregnant.
"Have you had lunch?"
"Erchen has used it."
"It's time to take a nap at this hour, can the queen mother take a nap with you in her arms?" Yun Xiao took her son's hand and walked to the dormitory.
"Queen mother, my son misses you so much, my son wants to take a nap with my mother every day." The second prince was flattered and very nostalgic for the happy time with his mother when he was a child.
"The queen mother promised you that from today onwards, even if you can't do it every day, the queen mother can often accompany the baby to take a nap. Baby, wash up quickly and go to bed together. Yun Xiao pinched her son's small chin affectionately.
"Yes, Queen Mother. Mama Wan, Mai Huang, you hurry up and serve. The second prince hurriedly ordered his subordinates to act, for fear that the queen mother would leave in the blink of an eye.
"Second prince, be careful of scalding." Mai Huang immediately brought a basin of warm water, and Sister Wan waited for him to wash his face, hands and feet.
The second prince was anxious for a while, and for the first time in the world, he took off his coat by himself, and couldn't wait to climb into bed and get into his mother's arms, Yunxiao covered the two of them with a quilt.
How many days have you not slept in bed with the emperor? It's sad to think about. Yun Xiao kissed her son's little face a few times, wiped the tears she shed, and held her son in her arms sourly.
"Baby, close your eyes and go to sleep." Gently kissing her son's forehead, Yun Xiao coaxed gently.
"Mother, the child can't sleep." The second prince stared at his mother, not sleepy at all.
"Are you afraid that your mother will leave?"
"Yes."
"No, my mother will never leave the baby again, go to sleep." Yun Xiao hugged her son's small body, and tears rolled down to the pillow.
Xiao Wan watched the mother and son hugging each other, her eyes were red, and she dropped the veil and asked everyone to withdraw and wait.
The warm days pass so quickly, and in half a month, Yunxiao will be in labor.
"Niangniang, Mrs. Situ is here."
Xiao Wan led Xia Li into Yun Xiao's bedroom, Xia Li held a food box and bowed to salute, "The courtiers see the queen's mother." ”
