At this time, a female official came to report, saying that Zhao Lingyue, the princess of Changle, was visiting.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Lingyue was dressed in a vermilion palace dress, and under the guidance of several female officials, she walked through the pavilion and water pavilion and came to Queen Song.

"Xu'er, look at it, this person just can't stand the chatter......"

Looking at her little daughter like a hibiscus out of the water, Queen Song shook her head and smiled.

"Lingyue has seen the queen mother," Zhao Lingyue saluted Queen Song Yingying, her eyes turned to look at Zhao Xu, and said with a smile, "Hey, the second brother is also here with the queen mother?" ”

Zhao Xu looked at the little sister and said with a smile:

"Aren't you here to see the queen mother?"

Zhao Lingyue sat beside Queen Song, glanced at the remaining half of the pastries on the table, and ruthlessly dismantled her brother's table.

"Second brother, are you here to see the queen mother, or are you here to grab the pastries made by the queen mother with your little sister?"

"Little sister, who are your second brother and I, don't you know? These pastries were made by the queen mother for your second brother to taste. ”

When Zhao Lingyue heard Zhao Xu's explanation, her eyes showed suspicion.

The second brother has been hostage in Qi for three years, and the queen mother often misses it, and now it is difficult to come back, and it is reasonable to make some pastries to compensate the second brother.

However, she has always been sharp-minded, and she always feels that there is something wrong with it.

At the moment, her delicate nose wrinkled slightly, and Zhao Lingyue smiled: "Since the second brother came to see the queen mother, did you bring a gift for the queen mother?" ”

When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but look stunned.

He got the will of his father and went to the Yangxin Palace to discuss the rebellion in Miaojiang, and then his father got up and asked him to come to visit his mother.

"Hmph, let's show the stuffing."

Looking at Zhao Xu's eyes, Zhao Lingyue covered her mouth and chuckled, and said:

"When I lie, my eyes roll, my second brother was like this when I was a child, and it seems that it hasn't changed in so many years."

"Okay, Lingyue," Empress Song, who was smiling and watching the brothers and sisters arguing, said in a round voice, "It was your father who asked your second brother to come to the palace." In a few days, your second brother will lead his troops south to Miao Xinjiang to quell the rebellion. ”

"Mother, is this true?"

When Zhao Lingyue heard this, her expression changed slightly, she glanced at Zhao Xu, and found that the corners of his mouth were full of wry smiles, and she couldn't help complaining in a low voice:

"Father is really, the second brother has been back for less than two months, and he first led the troops to Jingshan to sweep the bandits, which made him lead the troops south to quell the rebellion, can't the second brother be allowed to rest for a while?"

Sensing the strong concern in his words, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel deeply moved in his heart.

Although this little sister is eccentric, she still cares about her brother very much.

"Little sister, family affairs are private, state affairs are public, second brother, as a child of the Zhao family, enjoy the worship of all the people, so I naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibility. Whoever wants to wear a crown must first bear its weight. My father has an edict, and I take state affairs first. ”

Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Lingyue and said such a thing.

"Your second brother is right, this is our responsibility as a royal family. Speaking of which, this matter was proposed by this palace to your father. ”

Empress Song sighed and said quietly.

If it were possible, how could she be willing to let her son Fang return from the enemy country and be sent to the battlefield again.

It's not because the imperial court really couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while......

Whoever wants to wear a crown must first bear its weight.

Xu'er's words are very good, but is he using this sentence to express his attitude towards the throne to the palace?

"Whoever wants to wear a crown must first bear its weight?"

Zhao Lingyue muttered to herself, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

The words of Empress Song and Zhao Xu obviously touched Zhao Lingyue greatly.

"But the queen mother, in less than ten days, won't it be my father's birthday? The second brother led the troops to quell the rebellion, and it took more than ten days to come and go. In this way, didn't you miss your father's birthday? ”

Suppressing her thoughts to the bottom of her heart, Zhao Lingyue frowned and said softly.

When the father and emperor have a birthday, the son is not by his side, if this is spread, wouldn't it be a big unfilial piety?

She didn't want her second brother to have such a reputation.

Empress Song saw the worry in her daughter's heart at a glance, and smiled and said with relief:

"Silly boy, you forgot, it was your father's will for your second brother to lead the troops to quell the rebellion. With your father's endorsement, no one can say whether it's right or wrong. ”

Zhao Xu also said:

"Little sister, isn't it the best birthday gift for my father to lead the troops to quell the rebellion in Miaojiang for my brother?"

The two of you said a word, and I said a word, and finally calmed down this little girl and let her regain her innocent temperament again.

As a child of the royal family, Zhao Lingyue naturally received a good court education, although the cardamom girl was more interested in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but under the teaching of the palace female officials and Hanlin scholars, she also read some history books, and naturally knew the cruelty of war.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years...... One man attached a book to, and two men died in a new battle...... And so on and so forth, nothing more than that.

It's just that she knows that no matter how worried she is now, it will be useless, and she can only hope that her brother can successfully quell the rebellion and return safely.

In order not to worry the queen mother and brother, Zhao Lingyue took the initiative to change the topic.

"Second brother, what's delicious and fun there in Miao Jiang?"

Feeling Zhao Lingyue's gaze, Zhao Xu had a prank in his heart.

The original body was bullied by this sister with pranks when he was a child, and now, it should be regarded as recovering some interest from the original body.

So, Zhao Xu showed a devilish smile in Zhao Lingyue's eyes, and said with a smile:

"Brother Wei has never been to Miaojiang, what is delicious and fun there, Brother Wei doesn't know. However, my brother has heard people mention that Miao Jiang's roasted insects are a must, what roasted centipedes, roasted spiders, roasted bamboo insects, roasted bee pupae ......"

As if reporting the name of a dish, Zhao Xu said the names of more than a dozen insects in a row, and Zhao Lingyue's face was pale.

Sure enough, even in another world, the woman was still full of fear of those fluffy crawling insects.

"Xu'er, don't tease Lingyue, I didn't see what she was afraid of!"

Queen Song on the side glared at Zhao Xu angrily, this bastard boy said something, and she was a little worried in her heart.

"Hmph, I know, second brother, you scare me again!"

Zhao Lingyue, who reacted, glared at Zhao Xu angrily, her mouth pouted, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Well, it's another trick......

Since childhood, there has been a conflict between the two, as long as Zhao Lingyue cries, in the end, she can only be punished by herself......

Who made himself a brother.

Seeing the begging for mercy in her brother's eyes, the corners of Zhao Lingyue's mouth turned up slightly, and said:

"Second brother, when you come back from Miaojiang, you have to bring a few beautiful gifts to Lingyue."

Seeing Queen Song's gaze, Zhao Xu nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, well, I promise you for my brother!"

Coax this little ancestor first, and then say, save this girl a while and then open her mouth!
