Chapter 269: The Imperial Expedition
"You're right, doesn't my father have time to deal with political affairs until late?" Princess Fengqing nodded, asked people to remove all the cold rice and cold dishes on the table, and then asked people to go to the dining room to ask for a new table of food, and also asked for a cup of stew.
After eating a few bites of a table of food, Princess Fengqing went to Jianzhang Palace with the stew.
In the imperial study, Luo Chengjing heard Lian Yongwang report that Princess Fengqing had sent stewed soup, he frowned slightly, and said, "Send the soup in." ”
Lian Yongwang understood, the soup was sent in, and as for the people, there was no need to see them.
After Lian Yongwang went out, he said to Princess Fengqing with a smile: "Concubine Xian, the emperor is discussing with several ministers in the imperial study at this time, and it is not convenient to see you, but the emperor knows that you gave her stewed soup, so he specially ordered the little one to bring the stewed soup to him." ”
Princess Fengqing was still very polite to the great eunuch who served beside Lian Yongwang, and when she heard this, she asked Xin Yan, who was reaching out, to hand over the food box in her hand to Lian Yongwang, and nodded slightly at Lian Yongwang, "Trouble father-in-law." ”
"Concubine Xian is polite."
Princess Fengqing saw Lian Yongwang go in with the food box before turning around and leaving with Xin Yan.
And the food box that was sent to the imperial study, Luo Chengjing, never opened it from the beginning to the end.
It was already late for Luo Chengjing to finish the discussion, and he stayed in Jianzhang Palace directly.
After Princess Fengqing returned to Biyun Palace, she waited for a long time, and finally waited for the news that Luo Chengjing had gone to bed, and she did not give up.
Princess Fengqing entered the palace on the first day, and everyone in the harem was naturally very concerned about whether the emperor would go to Princess Fengqing's palace at night.
Knowing that the emperor was busy with political affairs, some people sympathized with Princess Fengqing after not going to Biyun Palace that night, and some people were secretly happy.
In Ruichang Palace, Concubine Kang pinched the leaf card in her hand, smiled and said to Lu Yuning: "It would be nice if there were more political affairs in the court, when the emperor is busy with political affairs, there will definitely be no time to spoil the virtuous concubine, so that you can also kill the arrogance of the virtuous concubine." ”
When Lu Yuning heard this, she smiled and said: "I'm afraid that this matter is really for you to say, the emperor really doesn't have time to spoil Concubine Xian for a while." ”
Lu Yuning received a letter from her uncle yesterday, the recent war between Dayong and Xirong is not optimistic, and the emperor intends to drive the expedition in person.
In the past few days, the emperor has summoned his ministers to discuss so diligently, on the one hand, to prepare for the imperial conquest, and on the other hand, to arrange various affairs in the court.
Lu Yuning knew that Luo Chengjing was going to drive the expedition in person, but he didn't expect Luo Chengjing to leave in such a hurry.
Since Princess Fengqing entered the palace, Luo Chengjing has not entered the harem for three consecutive days, and Lu Yuning has not seen Luo Chengjing.
On the fourth day, Lu Yuning took the four princesses to the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace to greet the Queen Mother's mother when she met Luo Chengjing.
Lu Yuning was about to say goodbye with the fourth princess, when Luo Chengjing walked in from outside.
The fourth princess, who hadn't seen Luo Chengjing for several days, pounced as soon as she saw Luo Chengjing: "Father." ”
Luo Chengjing smiled and hugged the fourth princess, and said to Lu Yuning, who was saluting on the side, with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, so the concubine doesn't have to be polite, sit down." ”
Lu Yuning smiled and thanked her, and after glancing at the fourth princess who was tired of being in Luo Chengjing's arms, Lu Yuning had no choice but to continue to sit down.
"Why did the emperor come here to mourn his family?" The Queen Mother asked Luo Chengjing with a smile.
Luo Chengjing said: "Queen Mother, Erchen has already decided to drive the expedition in person, and he will set off tomorrow." ”
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Do you have to drive the expedition in person?" Isn't there a general on Sijon's side? General He guarded the frontiers of Dayong and Xirong for decades, and a temporary defeat did not mean anything. You haven't fought before, so what role can you play? And the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, in case it ......"
The Queen Mother wants to say, what if you have three long and two short?
But after thinking about it, he felt that this was unlucky, so he changed his words: "If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, you are the emperor, and you should not put yourself in danger." ”
The fourth princess sat in Luo Chengjing's arms, and did not understand the meaning of Luo Chengjing's words with the Queen Mother, and played with the jade pendant on Luo Chengjing's waist with her little hands.
Luo Chengjing saw that she was struggling to bend over and grab the jade pendant, so he simply untied the jade pendant on his waist and stuffed it into the fourth princess for her to play with.
Then he returned to the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry about Erchen, Erchen knows what he knows, this time he is talking about Erchen's personal expedition, but even if Erchen goes to the frontier, he will not go to the battlefield, and Erchen will be fine." ”
He won't lead his troops to fight, if he really goes to the battlefield to command, it will be to add to the chaos, and the purpose of his personal expedition this time is not to go to the battlefield to fight.
"In that case, why bother with the expedition?" The Queen Mother said.
"The queen mother, the sons and daughters are in order to improve morale." Luo Chengjing said.
When the Queen Mother saw Luo Chengjing say this, she sighed again and said, "So many ministers can't persuade you, and the mourning family can't persuade you, since you have made up your mind, then go, the mourning family will help you take care of the harem." ”
"Thank you, my son." Luo Chengjing said: "After the sons left, the harem continued to worry about the sons and daughters, and the ministers of the previous dynasty handed over to King Ning, and also pointed out that the household department and the officials were to assist. ”
"Hmm." The Queen Mother nodded, "With King Ning and the three of them watching, there will be no major events in the court." ”
Lu Yuning listened quietly to Luo Chengjing and the Queen Mother on the side, without interjecting a word, and she couldn't intervene in what the two were talking about, let alone interject.
After Luo Chengjing and the Queen Mother finished talking about business, the two talked about family affairs for a while, and then Luo Chengjing got up to say goodbye.
By the way, he also took Lu Yuning and the fourth princess.
Coming out of Shou'an Palace, Luo Chengjing asked Lu Yuning: "Did you hear what I said just now?" ”
Lu Yuning nodded, thought for a while, and said, "The emperor must take care of his body when he goes here." ”
"Hmm." Luo Chengjing smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Concubine Ai, I will definitely return safely." ”
After that, Luo Chengjing went back to Ruichang Palace with Lu Yuning and spent a day in Ruichang Palace.
Concubine Kang and Concubine Xian originally made an appointment with Lu Yuning yesterday to play leaf cards together today, but when they heard that the emperor had gone to Ruichang Palace, they did not go to Ruichang Palace to disturb.
And Princess Fengqing, who has been looking forward to Luo Chengjing going to her Biyun Palace for the past few days, heard that after Luo Chengjing went to Ruichang Palace, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was also torn by her.
Lady !!
As early as when she was in Dongchi, she heard that Dayong's concubine was favored, and at that time she knew that if she really entered Emperor Dayong's harem, this concubine would definitely be her fierce rival.
Therefore, at that banquet, she deliberately provoked Concubine Shu, wanting Concubine Shu to make a fool of herself, who would have thought that Concubine Shu would be so powerful, not only did she not make a fool of herself, but she almost embarrassed herself.
