Chapter 229: Ordinary Father
Wan Feng didn't understand, what did the emperor mean, when he went to the queen to dine, he also wanted to take himself to see the queen? But since the emperor said that he would go to the queen's place for dinner, he could only follow.
The queen lives in the Jiaofang Palace, Wan Feng looked at these three words, and sighed in his heart, I didn't expect that no matter where it was, the palace where the queen lived liked to be called the Jiaofang Palace.
The emperor walked in front, and Wan Feng stood at the 'door' of the Jiaofang Hall for a while, only to the little eunuch beside him to remind Wan Fengdao, "General Wan? Wan Feng came back to his senses and quickened his pace to catch up with the emperor.
From the imperial study to the Jiaofang Palace, it is not very far, and it takes almost a quarter of an hour to walk, and the emperor's footsteps are a little hurried along the way, and even Wan Feng did not follow, and the emperor seems to have not.
Wan Feng looked at the emperor's back, thinking that the rumor that the queen's favored harem was indeed true, and it could be seen that the emperor was in a hurry to go to the Jiaofang Palace to see the queen's footsteps, but Wan Feng didn't know that the emperor was so excited to go to the queen, not just to see the queen.
The emperor followed Wan Feng into the Jiaofang Palace, and saw a woman in this brocade robe, wearing a phoenix crown, and a soft and gentle face leading a group of slaves to stand at the entrance of the temple' door, holding a four or five child in her hand, white and chubby is very cute, and the 'woman' looked at the emperor with an expectant face, with a gentle smile on her face, just like an ordinary 'woman' waiting for her husband to return home. The female son is the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty who favors the harem, and she has a three-point resemblance to the lord of the county, and she is not a peerless beauty, but she has a soft and warm temperament.
"Concubines (slaves/slaves) see Your Majesty."
"Father." The child in the queen's hand had broken free from the queen's arms and pounced on the emperor.
The emperor squatted down and picked up the child on the ground, and said to the people behind him, "Let's all be flat." ”
Wan Feng, who came behind the emperor, didn't dare to lose it, and hurriedly saluted the 'girl' who was the leader, "Weichen see the queen's mother." ”
The empress looked at Wan Feng with a suspicious look and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, who is this?" ”
The emperor was asking the child in his arms, and he was not well-behaved today, so he turned his head after listening to the queen's words and said, "I forgot to introduce it to Yue'er, this is Wan Feng, the general who protects the country." ”
The queen looked at Wan Feng with a soft smile, "It turned out to be General Wan, I often hear His Majesty mention it, and he is really a talent." ”
Wan Feng said politely, "The queen mother praises falsely." ”
This is the child in the emperor's arms is already making trouble, "Father, I'm hungry, let's eat." ”
The emperor smiled and 'rubbed' the child's face, and said, "Hong'er is hungry, and my father takes Hong'er to eat." As he spoke, he walked inside, and he didn't forget to pull his own queen on the side, and even Wan Feng seemed to forget that he was behind him.
Wan Feng looked at the emperor walking in front of him with some embarrassment, he didn't care about him, it seemed that he wanted to keep himself in this palace for lunch, right?
The queen was the emperor who grabbed her, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is inviting General Wan to come over for lunch together?" ”
The emperor finally remembered Wan Feng who was still behind him, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, but it was also fleeting, and he quickly returned to normal, and said to Wan Feng with a smile, "Wan Aiqing doesn't have to be restrained here, let's go to dinner with me." ”
Wan Feng slandered in his heart, this excuse was really good, and he became restrained, and his mouth still responded respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
The emperor took the child to sit down at the table in the hall, and the queen sat next to the emperor, and the emperor did not ignore Wan Feng this time, beckoned Wan Feng to do it, and said to the servants waiting at the 'door', "Pass the meal." ”
The servant responded, and began to pinch the eunuch's unique voice and shout, "Pass the meal." ”
Wan Feng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes when he listened, it was the first time he had eaten with the emperor, and he had only seen the picture on TV before, but he was fortunate to experience it in a few days.
Immediately after that, the slave began to serve the dishes one after another, and there was a eunuch who tried the dishes, standing aside, bringing a plate of dishes up, with a pair of chopsticks on it, the eunuch who tried the dishes first took the chopsticks and gently pinched a little into his mouth, put the chopsticks that had been eaten aside, and then served another dish, and then took the chopsticks on the plate to eat a bite.
Wan Feng looked curiously from the corner of his eye, thinking that it was really not easy to be an emperor, and he had to be careful when eating, but he sympathized with this eunuch who tried the food, I don't know how many times he has been poisoned, how many predecessors he has?
In the gap between this cloth and vegetables, the emperor introduced the child in his arms to Wan Feng, "Wan Aiqing should be the first time to see Hong'er." ”
Listening to the emperor's words, Wan Feng hurriedly saluted the child in the emperor's arms, "Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the prince. ”
The emperor waved his hand at Wan Feng and said with a smile, "For a child, there is not so much etiquette, Hong'er, call Uncle Wan Feng." ”
This child is well-behaved, although he looked at the food on the table with his eyes blank, he still shouted obediently, "Uncle Wan." ”
Wan Feng listened to the emperor's words, "Your Majesty, this can't be helped, how can His Royal Highness the prince be called Uncle Weichen." ”
The emperor smiled and said, "When can this be done, Yue'er's sister is Aiqing's younger sister, Aiqing is also Hong'er's elder, and Aiqing is also Hong'er's uncle." ”
This is the dish has been served, and before Wan Feng can reply, the child in the emperor's hand has already put his arms around the emperor's neck and said coquettishly, "Father, I'm hungry." ”
The emperor looked at the child in his arms and said with a smile, "Little glutton." ”
The empress said to the child in the emperor's arms, "Hong'er, come down and make a meal by yourself." ”
The child obediently slipped out of his father's arms and sat down between the emperor and the empress, and the emperor said, "Let's eat." He picked up the chopsticks and put a chopstick dish into the bowl of the child's noodles for the child next to him.
The child had unceremoniously taken the chopsticks and started eating, and the queen also picked up the chopsticks, Wan Feng then picked up the chopsticks, and slandered this in his heart, it was really tiring to have a meal with the emperor.
The emperor said to Wan Feng again, "Aiqing doesn't need to be restrained, just eat like usual." After speaking, he also began to eat, sleeping without saying a word, it seems that this royal family is doing a good job, Wan Feng is eating silently, while looking at the family, including the children, rarely speak, at most pointing to the dishes that are out of reach in the distance and saying, "I want to eat this." Then his father or mother would help him to put it in the bowl.
The emperor and empress would occasionally pick up vegetables with each other, Wan Feng looked at the three people in front of him, and felt that this was actually an ordinary family of three, if it didn't have the aura of the queen of God.
After eating, the emperor did not let Wan Feng go, but took Wan Feng to a pavilion in the back yard, the child ran all over the yard, and the queen beckoned the child to slow down behind him, for fear that the child would fall.
The emperor's eyes looked at the two people in the courtyard gently, and said to Wan Feng, "I heard that Aiqing is also happy, why didn't you bring it back to see?" ”
Wan Feng didn't hide it, and said, "The child is still too young to stand the 'waves', and there is still a bit of estrangement between the insiders and the old man in the family, so it's better not to meet." ”
Thinking of Wan Feng's family, the elders and generals of the dynasties, the emperor also sighed helplessly, and looked at Wan Feng with some sympathy, "I always have to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, so let's find a chance to bring them back and take a look." ”
Wan Feng nodded, not wanting to continue on this topic, so he changed the topic and said, "Your Highness is more than four years old, hasn't Your Highness sent Your Highness to school yet?" ”
The emperor said, "Hong'er has been weak since she was a child, and Yue'er is reluctant to put it in the school, so she has always taken it with her." ”
Wan Feng said with emotion, "Your Royal Highness is so blessed to be so favored by His Majesty and Niangniang." This is Wan Feng's heart, born in the royal family to be able to grow up so happily, it is really not easy, even if it is himself, he has never been so favored in two lives, his parents were busy with his own business in his previous life, and his parents went to the border early and died innocently in this life.
The emperor also said with deep emotion, "I don't want Hong'er to have the same childhood as me, and I don't want my children to be like my ancestors and me, killing each other for power and profit, but Hong'er is the future prince, and such a happy childhood can only be had when I was young." "Because he had already made a big decision in his heart, but at this time, he didn't say it.
At this time, Wan Feng no longer regarded the emperor as an emperor with great power, and the emperor did not regard Wan Feng as his own courtier, they only regarded each other as an ordinary father, chatting about their children.
Only to the next day, the emperor let Wan Feng out of the palace, Wan Feng stayed in Shangjing for another half a month, the envoys of the Di Kingdom also came to the Great Zhou, voluntarily surrendered to the Great Zhou, and proposed a marriage, the emperor also agreed, there was no suitable candidate in the palace, and selected a cabinet of ministers to be more 'colorful' 'female', named the county lord, ready to marry the emperor of the Di Kingdom.
All this is handled properly, Wan Feng also set off, planning to go back to Xiaowang Village, the emperor often called Wan Feng to the queen's Jiaofang Hall for dinner, looking at this harmonious family, Wan Feng also more and more want to be in Xiaowang Village's wife and children, the speed of the return journey has accelerated a lot, in early April, finally rushed back to Xiaowang Village.
When he returned to Xiaowang Village, Wan Feng's child was almost five months old, much older than when he left, white and chubby, very cute, Wan Feng teased the child in his arms, happy and reluctant to let go.
The next day after coming back, the family went to Peach 'Flower' Source to have lunch together, and after lunch, Lu Ziqi followed Wan Feng to the study, and 'Chun' Cao threw the child in his hand to the 'milk' mother on the side, and also went to the study together.
'Spring' grass knew that if she hadn't made hot weapons first, it was estimated that Wan Feng would not have researched so many hot weapons, so she, like Wan Feng, did not want to start a war, she was afraid that she would become an indirect executioner of the war like Wan Feng.
As soon as he entered the study, before Lu Ziqi Wanfeng could speak, the 'spring' grass had already asked first, "How is it?" ”
Wan Feng said, "I have convinced the emperor, I am not mistaken, the emperor is a good Ming monarch, although he has ambitions, he will not be for his own ambitions, regardless of the life or death of the people and the consequences of starting a war." According to my observation, as long as there is no war and chaos in the Ogi Kingdom, the people are happy, and the Ogi Kingdom does not make a move on the Great Zhou, the emperor will not easily attack the Ogi Kingdom again, and the emperor has already agreed to marry the Ogi Kingdom. ”
