Chapter 269: I want to recruit a horse
At dinner, Xiao Chenghan arrived at Yongning Palace. The main hall of Yongning Palace has begun to set up dinner, and Princess Xiao Yunxi of Le Yao is also there tonight, this is the opportunity she tried her best to accompany her father to dinner. She also wanted to take this opportunity to ask for a favor for herself.
After dinner, Concubine Yan Shu accompanied Sheng Shang to drink tea, and Xiao Yunxi also chatted.
Xiao Yunxi saw that the time was almost up, and said, "Father, can the sons and daughters choose their own horses?"
Xiao Chenghan was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Oh, Le Yao wants to choose a colt by herself? But have you got someone you want?"
Xiao Chenghan knew that the eldest princess's mansion held a flower-viewing banquet last time, and the eighth child went with Le Yao, guessing that his daughter had fallen in love with someone's son-in-law at that flower-viewing banquet.
Xiao Yunxi thought of the side she had seen An Lehou, and thought of An Lehou's great achievements, she felt that only such a young talent could be worthy of herself.
Xiao Yunxi's face flushed, and she said a little shyly, "Father, the person who the son has taken a fancy to has made great contributions to our Great Jin. Moreover, he is both civil and military, has a good character, and is very good-looking."
Xiao Chenghan is very curious, who has made great contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty and has not married, is it Shao Yichen? Because he has just made great achievements recently, only Shao Yichen has the highest status.
He understands that his daughter will never look for a person with a low status.
Xiao Chenghan asked, "Who is it?"
Xiao Yunxi said: "Erchen saw him once in his aunt's mansion, and he was really a jade tree in the wind, handsome and beautiful. Now he has made a great contribution to our Dajin. The person that Erchen likes is An Le Hou Chu Jingyan."
Xiao Chenghan, who was drinking tea at this time, couldn't help but squirt out when he heard a sip of tea, and coughed directly after choking on the tea. Han Li hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted the saint on the back and handed him the veil.
Xiao Chenghan picked up the handkerchief handed by Han Li and wiped his mouth, looking at Xiao Yunxi with a strange look in his eyes, "You said that the person you like is An Le Hou Chu Jingyan?"
Xiao Yunxi nodded, "Father, the son finally took a fancy to someone, and asked for his father's permission."
At this time, Concubine Yan Shu, who was next to her, also said good things for her daughter, "Your Majesty, Xi'er has been talking to me many times. This An Lehou is indeed a young talent, and he is also a good match for our family Xi'er. Let's recruit him as a colt, which can be regarded as a reward for meritorious heroes."
Xiao Chenghan sneered in his heart when he listened to the words of the mother and daughter in front of him, thinking that this Yan Shufei was really a good calculation, and now that he saw that An Lehou was able to excel and made great contributions, he would definitely have a bright future in the future, and he was ready to use his daughter to help the eighth child win over An Lehou. In this way, one of the arms of the fourth child can also be broken.
Hmph, these people are really calculating, even calculating their daughter's marriage. But this time it was going to disappoint them, Chu Jingyan was a woman, and it was impossible for him to become a colt. She is destined to become the daughter-in-law of the fourth child.
Xiao Chenghan's face sank and said, "Le Yao's marriage has already been arranged, and An Lehou can't."
Yan Shufei froze in embarrassment when she heard this.
Xiao Yunxi's eyes immediately turned red when she heard that her father had rejected her request, and her tone of voice was aggrieved, "Father, the son really likes An Lehou, father, you can let the son of the minister." No one but his sons."
Xiao Chenghan's face immediately sank when he heard this, "What. You're still threatening me?"
Concubine Yan Shu immediately stood up and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty is angry. It's all because the concubines didn't teach Yunxi well."
Xiao Yunxi shed tears of grievance there.
Xiao Chenghan stood up irritably and glanced at Concubine Yan Shu, "Don't mention this matter again in the future. In the future, don't let Le Yao run around the palace again, and let me learn the rules in the palace."
After speaking, Xiao Chenghan flicked his sleeves and left Yongning Palace.
Xiao Yunxi saw that she and her mother begged her father so much, but the emperor did not agree to her request, and cried sadly.
Yan Shufei looked at her daughter's crying sadness, patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't cry. If your father doesn't agree, there is no way for us to do it, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Xiao Yunxi suddenly rushed to her mother, hugged her mother's leg and cried, "Mother, please help your daughter." My daughter really likes Chu Jingyan. If Chu Jingyan becomes his daughter's concubine
Ma, in the future, my daughter will definitely let him help the starling more. I'll do my best to pull him to Starling's side."
Xiao Yunxi knew that the most important thing for the concubine was the starling, and she could only start from the starling.
Of course, Concubine Yan Shufei hoped that An Lehou would marry her daughter and become her son's help. Even if it can't be completely a help for his son, it's good to be able to separate the relationship between An Lehou and the fourth child.
Xiao Chenghan returned to Zichen Hall angrily, thinking that he had to summon the fourth child and Chu Jingyan back as soon as possible, give them marriage as soon as possible, and handle the marriage, which would also make some people's thoughts better.
Now the British government is worried about Chu Jingyan, and her daughter, who doesn't know her identity as a woman, is also worried about Chu Jingyan. Those who don't know Chu Jingyan's true identity don't know that there are still many families who are worried about her.
Xiao Chenghan immediately issued an edict asking Xiao Yilin to handle the border affairs as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible.
——
Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi, who are at the border, are a little happy to be together every day. The two often go up the mountain together for "treasure hunting".
Xiao Yilin handed over the construction of the pass to Shu Shenglun, and he only had to ask occasionally. The affairs of the barracks were easy for him to handle, and it didn't take much time at all.
So every day, after Xiao Yilin finished handling official business, he accompanied Jing Yi into the mountains to collect medicine. They really went into the mountains to collect medicine, and did not look for any mineral deposits.
Where are the mineral deposits so easy to find, and Xiao Yilin thinks that it is good to have a copper mine in the north now. If there are other mines, maybe this northern border will not be peaceful. The Northern Yan may take risks to start another war for the sake of these mineral deposits.
The future is quite possible, if not now.
There is only one copper mine in the north, which is easier to keep secret and safer. It's also easier to mine.
There are many precious herbs on the mountains near Xiangzhou, and Jingyi harvests a lot every day. She has accumulated a lot of herbs in her hands, and even the blessing bag has secretly received a lot.
Jing Yi also found several kinds of fruits in the mountains, although they were wild, but Jing Yi also collected them, and with the mother parent, she could breed more and better varieties.
Jing Yi also made a lot of hemostatic powder for Xuanweijun, as well as medicine to treat bruises.
In the barracks, there were daily drills, and bruises were common among the soldiers.
Many of the soldiers who were seriously injured in the Xuanwei Army this time Jingyi had undergone surgery, and the military doctors were eye-opening, but they didn't expect to be able to deal with the injured like this.
Many military doctors followed Jing Yi to learn about surgery.
Later, everyone settled down, and Xiao Yilin arranged for Jing Yi to teach the military doctors from time to time to teach surgical knowledge, as well as some first-aid knowledge on the battlefield.
