Chapter 396

Hey, didn't you say that the imperial sister-in-law came? ”

When Princess Qi saw her daughter looking left and right, she couldn't help poking her head and pretending to scold, "What do you look like?" After that, she explained, "The crown princess is pregnant, and she has had severe morning sickness recently, so your second sister-in-law went to visit the East Palace first." ”

As soon as these words came out, a kind of woman began to think again. Now the royal heirs are thin, and in addition to the crown princess, there are only three ladies in the East Palace, which is really not much. Before the crown princess gave birth to a son, it was already considered to have strengthened her position, and at the same time, it also raised the prince's status. Unexpectedly, the East Palace, which has not been out for many years, ushered in good news again, and it was from the crown princess.

It seems that in the future, they will also have to move around more with the princess's mother's family.

Princess Qi saw a thoughtful look in everyone's eyes, her eyes flashed slightly, and then she talked about the side.

Today, after the prince went down to the court, he looked for himself to pass the qi, saying that the king of Su felt that the limit was approaching due to old age and decay, so he wanted to return to Beijing to incense his ancestors. In addition, the queen mother's birthday is approaching, and he also wants his children to pay a filial piety, so he specially handed over an excerpt and asked to bring his family to Beijing.

His excerpt was very earnest, and he cried to many officials in the fiefdom, which made the emperor a little embarrassed. Finally, after the courtiers deliberated, it was decided that the royal family would send the Praetorian Guard to fetch the people back in person.

King Su, after three dynasties, can be regarded as the uncle of the first emperor. I heard that back then, he was beneficial to compete for succession, and he also did a lot of tricks and feet, so that Emperor Chengzong almost crossed the middle palace and made him the crown prince.

Fortunately, the news that the queen at that time was pregnant later made the courtiers admonish and jointly suppressed the idea of Emperor Chengzong. In the end, the queen gave birth to the first emperor in one fell swoop, which stabilized the dynasty.

Now, although he is over 70 years old, it is difficult to guarantee that he has no other thoughts.

It is precisely because of this that King Qi asked Princess Qi to specially spread the news that the crown princess was pregnant again, in order to stabilize some people's hearts in advance. After all, there were many people who had a relationship with King Su back then.

Because of Princess Qi's hospitality to Xu Chu, coupled with Xiao Mingzhu's close friendship with her, the ladies also had great insight and did not say anything harmful. It was mostly flattering and congratulating Xu Chu.

And those ladies with ulterior motives just now naturally didn't dare to find bad luck at this time. After all, Xu Chu's cold and casual tone still made them feel uneasy.

The ladies were at peace, even if they looked at Xu Chu out of curiosity or taboo, most of them were restrained and didn't dare to show their contempt in public.

On the men's side, it's much more lively. I have to say that Xiao Qinglang drank a lot of wine for the first time.

In the beginning, because of his prestige, no one dared to toast. After all, who doesn't know that Xiao Qinglang, the third law secretary, is a cold-faced person, and even if he participates in a banquet, he has never talked eagerly with anyone. This time, a reckless military general drank too much, and congratulated Xiao Qinglang with a big tongue on his will to give marriage.

The people who also participated in the banquet on the side, seeing the general's eagerness and hospitality, couldn't help but sweat for him. Who doesn't know that the prince's marriage object is Xu Sicheng of Dali Temple? said that it was a temple, but in the final analysis, isn't it just a female servant?

Originally, a woman was a fool, which was already a shocking thing. What's more, it is a temple that shows up in front of people and has nothing to do with virtuous and virtuous virtues.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor always valued the prince, I was afraid that they would all suspect that the emperor issued such a holy decree completely to suppress King Jing'an. And even if you know that this possibility is very small, but some people will inevitably think of this.

And now, the military general rushed up without an eye, and he really didn't have a heart.

But when the big guy pinched a cold sweat for the general, Xiao Qinglang, who looked solemn and cold, looked at him, and suddenly raised his glass and said, "Thank you, General Huang, on the day of this king's marriage, I also invited General Huang to enjoy his face and eat the wedding wine." ”

When General Huang heard this, he didn't think there was anything wrong, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Seeing King Jing'an talking in a familiar tone with the little-known little general, many people looked at each other, and even began to whisper about the origin of the general.

It turned out that General Huang was the one who led the troops to support after the prince exposed the Jinzhou City case. If it is said, he should have some friendship with the prince and Lord Xu, no wonder he is so attentive.

In fact, General Huang really didn't have any intention of complimenting, and I heard others say that King Jing'an was married by the emperor. His first reaction was that he didn't know which daughter of a wealthy eunuch family had this honor, and then he secretly thought, and he didn't know how frightened the daughter who was given the marriage was at this time, after all, the prince's reputation in the capital was not very gentle

He even secretly sneered, if the young lady's family is clean and upright, it will be forgotten, if there are corrupt people who bend the law, I am afraid that this family will also be checked from the beginning because of their marriage with Jing'an Palace. After all, who doesn't know the temperament of the prince, there is no room for sand in his eyes, and he never favoritism.

It is precisely because of this that many official eunuch families have a retreating attitude towards the prince's family affairs, for fear that the gains will outweigh the losses, so they are remembered by the prince.

However, when he heard that the object of the prince's marriage was Xu Sicheng Xu Chu, he became clear. When he was in Jinzhou City, he admired Lord Xu who was bold and careful and had no change in his face when he used the knife on the corpse, and even had a little good feeling. It was also a loss that he was stumped by business at the time, and the case in Jinzhou City was too big, so he didn't dare to let go, so he didn't rush Xu Chu.

Otherwise, General Huang couldn't help but shudder when he thought that he had almost missed the prince's sweetheart

Based on this cognition, when someone mentioned the prince's family affairs, he didn't feel anything wrong. As for the concept of portals, it doesn't seem to be a problem. After all, if you are looking for a daring lady, it may be easy to find. But if you are asked to pick out a woman who can not show her timidity in front of King Jing'an and can dissect the corpse with the usual face among the many ladies in the capital, it is really unique.

Besides, who is King Jing'an?

The emperor's younger brother is deeply trusted by the emperor and has a high position. Such a person, who still cares about the help of his family, and he doesn't have to rely on his wife's family background to climb up.

Therefore, in his opinion, for a person of King Jing'an's status, if he marries, the first consideration must not be his life experience

Otherwise, sometimes Gengzhi's brain lacks roots, and there are benefits of Gengzhi's brain lacking roots. At the very least, there are few twists and turns, and you can always think of things at the root.

It was precisely like this, after General Huang drank a few times more wine, he grinned and congratulated Xiao Qinglang. In this way, he congratulated King Jing'an at the Changyue banquet in the palace of King Qi

However, he got a response from King Jing'an, and he was less embarrassed.

Even if some bureaucrats will sigh that the five big and three rough generals don't know how to be polite, after seeing the unusual attitude of King Jing'an, they will be shocked compared to the little disdain in their hearts.

In fact, it is.

Xiao Qinglang has always disliked to make friends with people, but now he personally invited a military general to drink his favorite wine, which is really surprising. Although even if the prince doesn't say it, they will all come to the door to congratulate them at that time, but with the prince's personal invitation, the weight is much heavier than just receiving an invitation.

King Qi was originally a little annoyed that General Huang didn't look at the occasion, but after seeing the change in everyone's expressions, he felt a little inexplicably happy in his heart. I didn't expect my third brother to have this skill, so in just one sentence, he actually faintly raised the little general under his command.

Although it was not a formal promotion, he was still very comfortable when he saw the expressions on the faces of those civil officials change again and again. This is probably similar to the emperor's thoughts at the beginning, and he didn't expect Xiao Qinglang to be able to deter so many people, but after thinking about it, it did make them refreshed.

The emperor was troubled by the courtiers' war of words, and he had to listen to it. And Xiao Qinglang let those who are good at fighting with words can only swallow the saliva back into their stomachs and slander themselves.

As the god of war, King Qi was the head of the Great Zhou generals. And the military generals have always been looked down upon by civilian officials, and on weekdays, they are even more openly and secretly sarcastic, and the military generals are uneducated, reckless and barbaric. Now, looking at the envious appearance of those civil officials, didn't he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart?

Xiao Qinglang didn't care about this, but anyone who sincerely congratulated him on being with his own Xiao Chu deserves a good look from him.

With the beginning of General Huang, the remaining generals who had been exempted from punishment by Xiao Qinglang for finding out about his spies in the barracks also stepped forward to congratulate him. Those straightforward and rough words, although not as pleasant as those of the literati, are also real and sincere.

So, Xiao Qinglang, a person who never drank much outside, drank cup after cup. In the end, although his posture was still noble and his appearance was still handsome, his always solemn complexion was much softer, and even his cheeks were dyed a little red, and he didn't look like he was so indifferent and unattainable as usual.

However, some people have good eyesight and see that Xiao Qinglang is in such a good mood because he was mentioned to Lord Xu. Naturally, some people couldn't think about it, and secretly whispered on the side, "I don't know what is good about that country girl, even if she is in the limelight now, she is also a person who deals with corpses in the end." We have so many beautiful princes in the capital who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they can't look down on them, and they just look down on a woman who can't do anything."
