Chapter 0691 more than fighting(1/2)
Jiang Yu brought two bad news to Bo Langjun:
First, the Xiongnu defeated the Dayuezhi and forced the Dayuezhi to move elsewhere; second, the murder of the Yan king in order to compete for the position of Prince Yan, leaving the Yan king missing.
The Huns' sphere of influence continued to expand, which made the emperor worried.
The ministers in the court only suggested strengthening the defense of the border, and there was no other way.
Bo Langjun entered the palace with the emperor's oral order. He and the emperor had a secret conversation in the imperial study room for half an hour.
On the morning court the next day, the emperor issued an order to reduce various expenses and reserve military supplies.
As for Yan State, it ordered the descendants of Yan to take responsibility for the King of Yan and strive to find the whereabouts of the King of Yan.
Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao accompanied Bo Ji in the palace.
At night, Luo Jiaojiao asked Bo Langjun if he knew the life and death of King Yan?
Bo Langjun said confidently:
"I'm afraid I'm no longer alive!"
"Then why did you ask the descendants of Yan to be responsible for the King of Yan?"
"The struggle between the princes of Yan State continues for a day, the more beneficial it will be for the emperor."
Bo Langjun's words made Luo Jiaojiao open her mouth wide.
"Is it possible that the emperor has the intention to withdraw the county and state?"
"These vassal states should have been abolished long ago! They have become a climate now and have posed a threat to the imperial power!"
Bo Langjun's words made Luo Jiaojiao understand his intention.
Fortunately, the King of Dai took office, otherwise he might have been a restless person! That's probably the case for those counties and countries!
On the day of the Little New Year, the palace is full of joy, just like outside the palace.
Each hall was replaced with red palace lanterns. A beautiful potted potted flowers were also placed in front of the door. A copper wire stove was placed next to the potted flowers.
Although the weather was a little cold, the faces of the eunuchs and maids guarding outside the palace gates were all red.
The red carpets were also spread to the gate of the yard.
The emperor and the queen walked into the garden where Bo Ji lived. Behind them were the prince and other princes.
Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Yin walked at the end.
Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao, who were sitting opposite Bo Ji, saw the emperor and the queen arrive and salute together.
"Forgive!"
The emperor and the queen took everyone to bow to Bo Ji and sit down.
A happy smile appeared on Bo Ji's face.
"Come on! Come on with my grandmother!"
Bo Ji brought the children around her.
Luo Jiaojiao, who loves the fun, smiles and pours tea for everyone.
Bo Ji ordered her personal maid to pick up the purse she sewed with her.
The children were very happy to receive the gift.
The fourth prince, King Liang Huai, secretly opened his purse and saw that there were five golden croakers inside. He was extremely happy and snuggled beside Bo Ji and smiled happily.
"I really don't know!"
The prince scoffed at King Huai of Liang.
The second prince, King Huaiyang, liked his half-brother very much. He stuffed his purse into the hands of the fourth prince, King Huai of Liang.
King Huai of Liang did not dare to ask for it, so he stuffed it back.
The emperor and the empress dowager smiled gently when they met.
Brothers, brothers, brothers, respect are the ones they most like to see.
The queen was very anxious when she saw the prince's face showing contempt. Although the second prince was also her, she still cherished her eldest son very much.
"The eldest princess and the prince consort are here!"
The Huang eunuch outside the hall shouted at the top of his voice.
"Is this released?"
Luo Jiaojiao looked up at the entrance of the hall.
A pink jacket and a black dark red robe set off the princess' fair and hungry face, which made her look particularly beautiful.
"I have met the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the uncle!"
The eldest princess bowed her head slightly and bowed.
The son-in-law Yang Zisheng also bowed together to salute.
"Come and sit next to my mother!"
The queen called the eldest princess lovingly.
"Thank you, my mother!"
The eldest princess walked respectfully to the queen and sat down.
Yang Zisheng sat on the side case and looked up at Luo Jiaojiao.
"Look at what I do? There are so many people!"
Luo Jiaojiao unnaturally lowered her head to cook tea.
Bo Langjun was very dissatisfied with Yang Zisheng's rude behavior, but he did not show any sign of it on his face.
During lunch, everyone followed the Queen Mother and the Emperor to go to the living room for the banquet.
The dishes are still exquisite, but they are much simpler.
"The eldest princess seems to have changed, and her every move shows the demeanor of a lady."
This satisfied the emperor and the empress dowager.
When the queen saw this, she was a little confused.
Although the eldest princess was a little domineering, she was not good at disguising herself. Now that she has wrapped herself up, it means that some kind of change has occurred in her heart.
It is terrible for people who don’t like to show off! The queen looked at Bo Langjun. She didn’t want the eldest princess to look like him, which made her feel so uneasy.
The eldest princess's transformation was not surprising at all. She recently invited a Taoist priest who had a deep knowledge of Taoism to her. The Taoist priest gave her some advice and made her look like she is now.
"It's been a long time since my bride, why haven't I seen any movement in my stomach?"
Mrs. Shen put down her chopsticks and asked with great concern.
"Isn't it the same for madam?"
The eldest princess replied without annoyance or impatience.
"Too!"
Mrs. Shen asked for something boring, so she stopped talking.
"How was Gillian's conditioning?"
Bo Ji turned her head and looked at Luo Jiaojiao.
"She is insisting on taking the medicine and it will take a year and a half before she can recuperate! No hurry!"
Bo Langjun took the conversation for Luo Jiaojiao.
Lier looked at Luo Jiaojiao with concern. Luo Jiaojiao smiled when she saw it.
The emperor also picked up vegetables for Mrs. Shen around him.
"The Father has always been partial!"
The eldest princess muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Pai'er! Don't talk nonsense!"
The queen immediately spoke out and stopped the princess's words.
"Mrs. Shen is weaker, so it's time to make up for it!"
The emperor looked at Mrs. Shen, wearing black hemp pattern, with guilt.
"I am not very proud!"
Mrs. Shen's eyes turned red, she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"The prince consort is also very concerned!"
The queen turned to look at Yang Zisheng who was drinking alone.
"Yes! Yang Zisheng keeps the queen's teachings in mind!"
