CHAPTER XXI
In the blink of an eye, in February, the two brothers of the Chen family returned to the capital, and Emperor Shunning transferred Chen Tianwen to the forbidden army as a general, and Chen Tianyu became the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Xiao Yu is now unofficial and unemployed, he is at ease, and he runs to Chen's Mansion from time to time, Chen Le's heart is big, and he has to report to Emperor Shunning, Xiao Yu has some restraint, but if you don't go to Chen's Mansion, you can come to the palace.
"The prince is not going to Chen's Mansion today?" Ye Ran stood aside and looked at Xiao Yu, who was sitting in the courtyard of the palace drinking tea.
Xiao Yu took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, "If you go to Lord Chen again, you will chase me with a stick, I will pick her up later, the Chen Mansion is not here, the palace can." ”
It's you, my lord.
Because of the exam in February, the Ministry of Rites was busy to death, so Lin Tong also ran to Chen's Mansion from time to time, and sometimes lived in Chen's Mansion for a few days, and the two families were on good terms, so naturally they had no opinions.
In Chen Xinyu's courtyard, the two of them were sitting together drinking tea, Lin Tong looked at Chen Xinyu with a smile, "I don't know if King Yan will come today?" ”
"My father may be going to do something to him again, and my father also told the emperor, and the emperor asked him to restrain a little." Chen Xinyu said funny.
Lin Tong sighed, "Not necessarily, King Yan is thick-skinned." ”
Chen Xin Yuxin laughed, "The prince won't come today, my father told the guards at the door today, saying that when the prince comes again, he will tell him the holy edict, telling him not to come to Chen's mansion in the near future." ”
"Sure enough, only the emperor can manage thick-skinned people."
......
The two chatted for a while, and then the little guy at the door came to report, "Miss, His Royal Highness King Yan is waiting for you at the door." ”
Chen Xinyu just took a sip of tea, and now she is choking and coughing up.
Lin Tong teased: "The emperor can't control it."
Chen Xinyu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Go immediately." ”
Chen Xinyu and Lin Tong arrived at the gate of Chen's mansion, Xiao Yu stood beside the carriage, watched the two walk out, and smiled.
Chen Xinyu blushed a little, "Didn't the emperor let you come less recently, and your father will do something to you if you come again." ”
Xiao Yu looked calm, "I didn't go in again, and besides, the emperor asked me not to come, so you can just go with me." ”
Lin Tong gave a thumbs up when he heard it in the back.
Chen Xinyu was stunned, "This? ”
"You are the princess of Yan given by this king, it is not too much to sit in my palace, right?"
Chen Xinyu was still a little stunned, "The truth is such a truth, it is ......"
Before Chen Xinyu finished speaking, she was pulled into the carriage by Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Lin Tong, and said in his eyes that you should understand.
Lin Tong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Oh! I understand, I understand, Xiaoyu, I haven't been home for a few days, I miss my mother, go home today to see her, and come to you another day, hehehe. ”
Lin Tong returned to the Lin Mansion like this.
The two sat in the carriage, and Ye Ran was in front of the car.
Chen Xinyu was a little funny, "I think you are too idle, so you should ask the emperor to find you an official position to sit in." ”
"Your Chen family is now in a high position, I will go to find another official position, will the emperor sleep peacefully?" Xiao Yu looked at Chen Xinyu with a smile, "I am like this every day before the emperor can rest assured." ”
Chen Xinyu nodded, "That's right." ”
"When we get married, we will go to Chang'an, Chang'an is my fiefdom." Xiao Yu continued.
Chen Xinyu leaned on Xiao Yu's shoulder and smiled, "Okay."
Chen Xinyu knew that Chang'an did not have the power of King Yan, and if he went there to be an idle prince, the emperor could rest assured and the Chen family could be safe.
When the two arrived at the palace, they held hands and walked in the palace to relax.
At this time, in the palace, Emperor Shunning was discussing with Chen Lexin about the selection of officials at the beginning of the year, and Zhao Xin came to report.
"There is an urgent report from the emperor's border, the secret guard lurking in the capital of Sujing, entered the palace to assassinate Emperor Chen, and was captured by Wu Desi, and now Xinyang and Xuzhou on the border of Nanchen have each gathered 150,000 troops, and they will attack Daliang in a few days! Now all the border towns of my Daliang are also urgently preparing for war! ”
Emperor Shunning and Chen Lexin were shocked, and Shunning hurriedly deployed, "Summoning Shangshu to enter the palace left and right, and sending the old general Ning in Beijing to send 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing battalion to Handan to prepare reinforcements, it is too late to change the future, and order Xiao Yu, the king of Yan, to rush to Kaifeng immediately and lead the Kaifeng border army!" ”
Zhao Xin took the order and ran out.
Chen Lexin was a little angry now, "Your Majesty, Su Jing's secret guard assassins are just a cover for Nan Chen, they just want to send troops north." ”
Emperor Shunning sighed, "The enemy is strong and I am weak, there is no way, but my Liang is not easy to mess with, it is too much to deceive, my Liang will not give up!" ”
After speaking, he comforted Chen Lexin, "Don't be angry, if you are civil and military, I can be invincible." ”
The news of a war on the border has spread throughout Lingjing.
The holy decrees were passed out of the palace, Shang Shu left and right Cheng urgently entered the palace, and General Ning Lao received the holy decree and hurriedly set off from Beijing, ordered 10,000 soldiers, and immediately set off for Handan.
Xiao Yu and Chen Xinyu looked at the holy decree, and the eunuch who delivered the decree said: "The prince is in an emergency, Nan Chen may send troops to the north in five or six days, the emperor ordered you to leave immediately, and you must rush to Kaifeng Mansion within three days!"
Xiao Yu put away the holy decree with a serious expression, "The minister's decree!"
After the explanation, the eunuch returned to the palace and hurried down to prepare.
Chen Xinyu held Xiao Yu's arm, her expression worried, tears rolling in her eyes, I already knew the meaning of the emperor's decree, but I didn't know that this day would come so quickly.
Xiao Yu touched her face, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive to marry you." ”
Chen Xinyu's tears still flowed out uncontrollably, "I am proud that the prince protects the family and defends the country." ”
"Everything is ready!"
When they came to the gate of the palace, Xiao Yu and Ye Ran had already gotten on the war horse.
The people received the decree and now the streets were empty.
Chen Xinyu stood below and took his hand, "Lord Wang, you must come back alive, I will wait for you to come back and marry me." ”
Xiao Yu didn't speak, he just touched her face with his hand on the horse, and then let go of his hand and shouted: "Go!"
Two horses galloped out of the street.
Chen Xinyu looked at her back, her eyes became resolute, the prince protects the family and the country, as Princess Yan, she is proud of him!
The prince will definitely come back alive, she believes!
