Chapter 23 Recruitment

When Yang Jinghe arrived at Yong'an Palace with Jinxin, Chen Guifei had already prepared refreshments and waited, and when she saw Yang Jinghe come in, she greeted her with a smile on her face.

Fang was on the viewing platform, the two sides were too far away, she didn't see Yang Jinghe's appearance too clearly, at this time the two faced each other, she really saw it clearly, the other party was beautiful, her eyes were bright, and she was heroic, she was really not an ordinary woman.

Thinking that such an excellent woman might become her daughter-in-law in the future, Chen Guifei was very satisfied, and couldn't help but have a sincere heart for her.

She affectionately took Yang Jinghe's hand and welcomed her to her seat, as if she was already her daughter-in-law, "Come, county lord, the emperor rewarded some high-quality Biluochun a few days ago, and the county lord tasted it." ”

Yang Jinghe looked at Chen Guifei, who had a good face and a smile like a flower, and was very affectionate to her, and didn't feel much. How could she not know her purpose, just now the maid next to the concubine told her that when the concubine wanted to invite her over, she didn't want to come in her heart, but because of her status as a concubine, and King Jing'an's previous instructions, they should not be in a hurry to refuse their wooing, so she came.

Thinking of this, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and hugged her fists and thanked her: "Xie Guifei Niangniang, Jinghe lives in the military camp all the year round, eats military food, drinks the water of the Nuluo River, such a good tea, Jinghe may not be able to taste one or two after drinking it, wouldn't it be an insult to this good tea."

After hearing this, Chen Guifei said with a smile: "What did the county lord say, you guarded the border for my Jiang country, resisted foreign enemies, and worked hard, and this tea was fortunate to be drunk by you, which is its blessing."

Hearing the concubine say this, she knew that there was no reason to refuse, so she took a sip, although it was not good, but it was really much more fragrant than the tea in the barracks, and she couldn't help but praise: "It's really good tea."

Seeing that Yang Jinghe liked it, Chen Guifei was very happy, her eyes signaled to the brocade heart beside her, and the brocade heart understood, and after a while, she brought a beautiful porcelain jar.

"Since the county lord likes it, the palace will give this pot of tea to the county lord to talk about the heart of the palace."

Yang Jinghe hurriedly got up and excused himself: "This tea was given to Niang Niang by His Majesty, it is extremely precious, how can Jinghe win people's love."

Chen Guifei motioned for her to sit down, and said: "The county lord is wrong, since His Majesty has given this tea to the palace, then the palace has the right to transfer it to others, the palace and the county lord have a good eye, and it is appropriate to give it to the county lord." Besides, if Your Majesty knew that the tea was given to the lord of the county, he would not blame me. ”

"Having said that, Jinghe is a military person, thick and leafy, it is really not suitable to drink such good tea, and the military rules are strict, Jinghe, as a general, how can he defy the law and accept gifts privately?"

Seeing Yang Jinghe's firm attitude and showing no mercy, Chen Guifei felt a little unhappy in her heart, but thinking that she was still useful to herself, she also held back her anger and reluctantly smiled: "The county lord has strict military laws, and this palace admires it, even so, this palace is not strong."

"The Queen Mother."

At this time, Jiang Yihuan also came to Yong'an Palace, he has always been exquisite, good at observing words and feelings, seeing that the concubine's face was unhappy, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, he knew that their conversation was not very pleasant, so he smiled and said: "It turns out that the lord of Anguo is here, and this king is polite."

Yang Jinghe looked at the King of Anyang in front of him, with a long body, a handsome face, a gentle and polite appearance, but there was a trace of imperceptible coldness in his eyes. She sneered in her heart, what a king of Anyang, it was obviously planned by the mother and son, but she pretended not to know anything, and sure enough, as outsiders said, she was clever, hypocritical and cunning.

Although she thought so in her heart, she was not shocked, got up and saluted him, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Anyang."

"The county lord doesn't have to be polite," King Anyang said politely: "The county lord doesn't let the county lord shave his eyebrows, this time the Zhiping rebels, this king admires it very much, and if he has the opportunity, he will ask the county lord to teach him, and the palace can also ask the county lord for a lesson or two."

Chen Guifei also echoed: "Exactly, although Huan'er practiced weekdays, Wen Taowu did not fall behind, but he has never been on the battlefield and lacks actual combat experience, and the county lord you are strong in this aspect, in the future, the gate of my Yong'an Palace will always be open for the county lord, and I hope that the county lord will come and walk around more and teach Huan'er a lesson or two."

"The concubine Niangniang and the prince have tormented Jinghe, the prince is the prince, and there is naturally a virtuous and respected master in the palace to teach, Jinghe is a female streamer, from a humble background, and his qualifications are still shallow, how dare he say the word teaching to the prince."

King Anyang said with a smile: "The hero doesn't ask where he comes from, the county lord is humble, your ability is obvious to all, and with the teaching and help of Father Ling's brother, the county lord will definitely be able to be like General Yang in the future."

Hearing them flattering and flattering themselves so much, Yang Jinghe couldn't find the right words to be polite, so he simply smiled silently, waiting for them to say their purpose.

Sure enough, Chen Guifei saw that Yang Jinghe was quite polite to King Anyang, and said with a smile: "The county lord is straightforward, and the palace will not beat around the bush, and now there is only one side concubine and a concubine in the Huan'er Mansion, and the palace has been thinking about accepting a princess for him, but there is no suitable woman." Seeing the county lord in this palace today, I like it very much, and I want to ask His Majesty to marry Yu Huan'er, I don't know what the county idea is? ”

Yang Jinghe said in her heart, and finally said the purpose, she said: "The marriage event has always been the words of the parents and the matchmaker, and Jinghe is all up to her father."

"What the county lord said is that the main palace will see General Yang another day and discuss it with him." Chen Guifei said this, but she sneered in her heart, you are a little county lord, it is your blessing to be able to marry the most favored prince of the dynasty, and if I ask Your Majesty to give me a marriage, Your Majesty will allow it, will he Yang Jingye still resist the decree?

Yang Jinghe saw that their goal had been achieved, and he hugged his fists and said: "Jinghe has been away from the table for too long, I am afraid that I will lose my courtesy, Your Majesty will blame, and I will ask the concubine to allow me to retire first."

Chen Guifei nodded in agreement, and Yang Jinghe bowed to the two of them and withdrew.

After Yang Jinghe left, Chen Guifei's face suddenly turned cold: "This Yang Jinghe, I don't know how to lift, this palace takes a fancy to her, it is her blessing, and she dares to disobey this palace!"

King Anyang smiled and comforted his mother: "Mother, concubine is angry, although Yang Jinghe doesn't care much about our solicitation, but I just observed her attitude, at least she doesn't reject us, in this case, if I ask my father for marriage, I guess they won't refuse."

Chen Guifei said with a solemn face: "The emperor is thinking too simply, now that Yang Jingye has made miraculous achievements and is in the limelight, your father must have a lot of grace to them, for this marriage, your father will inevitably ask for his opinion, if Yang Jingye insists on disagreeing, presumably your father will not be reluctant."

King Anyang listened to what the mother concubine said, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Then the mother said that what should we do?"

"As you just said, at least Yang Jinghe does not reject us, in this case, we still have a great chance, for the sake of today, we have to rush ahead of the queen and take the lead in asking your father for marriage, if Yang Jingye agrees to the marriage, then he has no reason to marry the queen again, in this way, we have another powerful helper, and it will be just around the corner to bring down the queen's party."

"That's what the mother said."

Chen Guifei explained: "In the past few days, you go to get along with Yang Jinghe more and enhance your relationship, Li Wei's side, I also asked him to step up efforts to win over Yang Jingye, and make sure he belongs to our camp."

"Yes, Princess."

On the side of the Imperial Garden, the queen took advantage of the fact that the Queen Mother and King Jiang were tired and drove back to the palace and passed Yang Chengzhi over.

When Yang Chengzhi arrived at the garden pavilion, he saw the queen, the prince and a strange woman present, so he understood what they wanted.

Sure enough, seeing him coming, the queen smiled and pulled the woman behind her in front of her and introduced: "This is the niece of the main family of the palace, her name is Biyun, Biyun, this is General Yang Chengzhi."

Zhang Biyun raised her eyes and glanced at Yang Chengzhi, only to see that his face was tough, sharp and angular, and he was a strong man, even so, she did not have a trace of joy in her heart, and only politely blessed him: "Biyun has seen General Yang."

Yang Chengzhi was as calm as ever, and he also politely returned the salute.

The queen asked, "This palace heard that General Yang's wife has passed away for many years, and the general has never remarried?"

When it comes to his wife, Yang Chengzhi only felt a bitterness in his heart, and painful memories came to his heart, he and Yan Yu raised their eyebrows and fell in love, but he didn't want Yan Yu to die in childbirth, and he didn't even keep the child, which was a lifelong pain in his heart.

The queen saw Yang Chengzhi's sad face, knowing that it had evoked his sad past, and said with concern: "This palace heard that General Yang and his wife have a very good relationship, but Mrs. unfortunately died early, the general is the pillar of the country, and he fought on the battlefield for my Jiang country, and the palace really can't bear the general to be alone, so I want to draw a red line for the general.

"The queen's kindness was well received by the general, Yan Yu had a deep affection for me, and when she died, the last general swore that she would never marry a wife again in this life."

Hearing what he said firmly, Zhang Biyun couldn't help but look at him twice, and admired him in his heart.

"Having said that, life in the army is hard, if Mrs. Ling is alive, she will not bear the general to be alone, why should the general be so strict with himself?"

"What the queen mother said," the prince interjected, "General Yang, the queen mother is dedicated to your sake, you must not live up to her kindness."

"The last general has made up his mind, and I hope that the queen will be fulfilled!" Yang Chengzhi decisively refused, and his voice was loud.

The prince said angrily, "Don't be ignorant."

"Brother Huang, since General Yang is unforgettable to his wife, Brother Huang shouldn't make it difficult for others."

After Princess Anping sent the Queen Mother back to Fushou Palace, she passed through the Imperial Garden, and happened to hear what the imperial brother said, so she stepped forward to persuade.

"Imperial sister, you're here."

The prince has always looked at other brothers and sisters unpleasantly, but he only doted on his sister, and when he saw Anping stopping him, he understood that she must have thought of his own life experience.

In the years when the horse just died, the queen mother felt sorry for her daughter's widowhood, afraid that she would indulge in grief, and chose a lot of suitable men among the nobles in the palace, and wanted her to remarry, but the royal sister refused, indicating her attitude, and never married, and then the queen mother could not persuade her, so it was up to her.

Yang Chengzhi saw that the princess was helping him speak, and smiled at her gratefully.

"The queen mother, the son is in the same situation as General Yang, and he can deeply understand his feelings for his deceased wife, since the queen mother is good for General Yang, why not follow his wishes?"

The queen knew that with Anping here, today's things would not succeed, so she smiled and said: "Since Anping has said so, this palace is not difficult to force others, but this palace still hopes that the general will think more about himself, and if he understands it, he can come to this palace at any time."

After speaking, she returned to the palace with the support of Princess Anping.
