Chapter 9: For My Sister

The little eunuch sent to Yikun Palace to report had just arrived on the front foot, and the queen mother and queen on the back foot had just arrived.

"Your Majesty, you're not coming?!"

The Queen Mother asked.

The little eunuch observed the words and expressions from afar, and everyone in the group seemed to have suffered a lot of anger, so they cheered up the spirit.

When the Queen Mother and her entourage approached, he saw Aunt Su Lan covering half of her face, but she couldn't cover the mark of being slapped......

The little eunuch didn't dare to get up at all, and kept kneeling and replied again:

"Your Majesty said that I will come back to you another day to say goodbye."

He said it word for word, he was a messenger, but he didn't want to suffer this nameless fire.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter, why didn't you come suddenly?"

The queen asked clearly.

She thought to herself that it was not a little goblin who was ignorant, so bold that she even dared to rob the queen mother's 'pet'.

"Returning to the queen mother, after Your Majesty came out of the Imperial Palace, the Ouchi guards passed the legend that the four young generals of the Yuan family entered the palace..."

It's the Yuan family again!

Before the little eunuch's words were finished, the Queen Mother walked directly past him angrily.

Seeing this, the queen did not follow, and the little eunuch was so frightened that she simply lay on the ground.

The four young generals of the Yuan family have entered the palace.... The queen didn't need to think about it, she knew that they came because of the fact that the concubine had entered the cold palace.

But Concubine Yuan has been abolished, how can it be so easy to come out again!

Why should the Queen Mother be so annoyed...

"Let's go back."

The queen turned to Yuqi behind her and said.

After tossing for a while, the queen felt that her bones were about to fall apart.

When everyone left, Shuangxi hurriedly reminded the little eunuch who had been kneeling on the ground.

"Master, where are you? Take me there. ”

Shuangxi wanted to report what he saw in the cold palace to His Majesty as soon as possible.

______________

Fourth brother Yuan Cheng gave Yuan Jian a look: Big brother, why don't you mention my sister's matter in the cold palace?

They entered the palace in such a hurry, wasn't it just for this matter.

Yuan Jian waited for Taijing to go out first, raised his hand and patted the fourth brother's shoulder, indicating that this was the palace, and there were many people...

The three younger brothers have always listened to the words of the eldest sister Yuan Fu and the eldest brother Yuan Jian since they were children, of course, although the two of them are not much older than the seven younger brothers, they have always been very capable and take good care of their younger brothers.

The relationship between the eight sons and one daughter of the Yuan family has always been very good, and it is also well-known among all the big families in Wangjing.

Yuan Cheng didn't say anything anymore, and followed Yuan Jian out of the Imperial Palace first.

...

The Lin De Hall is the place where His Majesty generally holds family banquets, while the Weiyang Palace is used for banquets and some large-scale celebrations for foreign courts.

The four young generals of the Yuan family followed their father-in-law all the way and went to the inner hall of the Lin De Hall first.

"Generals, Your Majesty asked you to change into light clothes here first, and then go to eat together."

They were indeed too dusty, and the original ten-day journey forced them to stay awake and arrive in three days.

After Yuan Jian thanked his father-in-law who led the way, when he saw that there were only four of them left in the inner hall, he said in a low voice:

"What I want to talk to Your Majesty today is about family matters. Since my sister has already married into the palace, she is His Majesty's person. We don't know why we opened our mouth in the Imperial Palace, which deals with government affairs, which is not conducive to saving my sister out, you know. ”

The three younger brothers, especially the fourth brother Yuan Cheng, suddenly understood the deep meaning.

...

After the four of them simply freshened up, they changed into a blue and white brocade dress with a flower pattern, and instantly transformed, with the delicate appearance of a noble son in the capital.

The father-in-law who was waiting outside the door, seeing the four of them walking out gracefully, seemed to be the 'Four Youths of Beijing'.

And these four people are also a lot taller than just now, I don't know if the iron armor is too heavy, or because of the brocade clothes, which reflects their true body proportions.

"Four generals, Your Majesty is already waiting in the main hall, please come here."

On the main hall, Tai Jing sat upright, and two food tables were placed on each side.

"Long live Your Majesty."

The four of them saluted in unison.

"There is no need to be formal at the family banquet, Yuanjian quickly let your younger brothers take a seat."

Yu Taijing raised his hand and gestured.

Su Yu on the side poured the wine bottle in front of him with wine.

"Come, give you four brothers a glass and celebrate your victory."

Yuan Jian and his three younger brothers hurriedly picked up their wine glasses, faced Taijing, and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The four of them waited for Taijing to drink first, and then drank it all, abiding by the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.

The palace maids serving on the side poured wine again for the four young generals of the Yuan family, and Taijing continued:

"This second cup, as your brother-in-law, I'm glad that you can all return safely!"

This time, the four of them drank together with Tai Jing... to show closeness.

In the palace, the palace maids also began to serve food one after another, and Yuan Jian led his younger brothers to pay tribute to His Majesty, cup after cup... I haven't seen each other for two years, and between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, several people seem to have returned to their childhood.

... After three rounds of drinking.

Tan Taijing suddenly asked:

"It was originally scheduled that the army would arrive at the Wangjing Imperial Capital in ten days, why did you leave the team without permission?"

He just asked casually, after all, he still knows the four young generals of the Yuan family very well, especially Yuan Jian, if it wasn't for something important, he wouldn't leave the army without permission with his younger brothers.

The four of them immediately straightened up and knelt in the center of the main hall.

In a moment, the silence in the Lin De Hall was terrifying, maybe this is the emperor's majesty, even if Taijing waited until after the three rounds of wine to ask, after all, no matter how they answered, they couldn't do anything after drinking.

"For my sister."

Yuan Jian replied cleanly.

At the same time, before Yuan Jian's words fell, the same three times sounded again in the hall, exactly the same answer, but the voice was slightly more immature each time.

"For my sister."

The second brother Yuan Xiao replied.

Followed by the third brother Yuan Yuan and the fourth brother Yuan Cheng replied:

"For my sister."

They didn't say that it was for Concubine Yuan, they showed their intentions, knowing that Yuan Fu was beaten into the cold palace, and without his title and position, he could no longer be called Concubine Yuan, and a sentence of sister showed the deep love between sister and brother.

What Taijing asked was why they left the team without permission, so the four young generals of the Yuan family also answered one by one.

All the palace people and guards around the main hall also heard it, and they listened to it four times.

The words 'for my sister', I don't know why they said it so loudly!

When Shuangxi returned to Su Yu's side, he also happened to hear it.

Looking at the four handsome young men in the hall who could not hide their sharpness even if they were kneeling, they thought about the concubine they saw in the cold palace today.

If they knew that Concubine Yuan was beaten in the cold palace, it would not be worth it.

...

Originally, Yuan Jian also wanted to ask His Majesty what happened to his sister to be beaten into the cold palace.

But when he looked up at His Majesty's deep fawn eyes, he seemed to have an answer.

It seems that he has drunk too much, and it seems that he has not drunk enough, and his face, which usually makes people unable to see any emotion, is floating with a touch of pink at this time, and a pair of deer's eyes reveal indescribable helplessness and gentleness like water.

Yuan Jian immediately understood, this may not be the cold palace that His Majesty wants to put his sister into... Maybe he has something unspeakable.

Because his eyes haven't changed, after so many years, he still has a strange light because he hears his sister's name, which is the best proof that he loves his sister deeply...

As the eldest brother, Yuan Jian no longer asked anything, and the three younger brothers followed and kept silent.

Tang Taijing felt that he hadn't drunk enough, even if he drank a little more, he could directly order Yuan Fu to be released from the cold palace at this moment.

...

He began to pour glass after glass, eager to get himself drunk until... The wind and moon are boundless, and the time of the palm lamp.

The four young generals of the Yuan family just went out of the palace, and after a few people replied, they kept kneeling to watch Taijing pour wine and drink...

"Big brother, that's all for my sister?"

Third Brother Yuan Yuan asked.

"Wait and see, three days later it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and if my sister hasn't come out yet... Let's go into the palace again. ”

Yuan Jian said very firmly.

"Can my sister come out before Chinese New Year's Eve?"

The fourth brother Yuan Cheng asked with wide eyes, and when he mentioned his sister, his face was completely like a teenager, and he couldn't see the blood on the battlefield at all.

I haven't seen each other for two years, and the four of them don't miss their sister very much.

Yuan Jian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and he just said it casually, it was a feeling: I felt that His Majesty would not keep their sister locked up all the time.

The four of them, dressed in fresh clothes, drove down the long street again.

This time, the pedestrians on the road were not like the small traders and hawkers who came out early in the morning, and they were recognized at a glance.

Within a few hours, all the ladies in the entire Wangjing City who were waiting for the word boudoir knew the news that the four young men of the Yuan family had returned.

Among them, Lin Anqing's daughter-in-law Lin Yinyao, "Yuanjian is back?" ”

"Yes, young lady, all beards and tails are back, and they are still riding horses, and many people have seen them."
