The Queen Mother nodded. It would be easier for the Emperor to solve the problem by just informing him.
"Then I will go and discuss it with the emperor first."
After Feng Nantian went out, there was a gloomy light in his eyes, and he quickly came to Qianqing Palace.
"I see you, Your Majesty."
"Uncle, please get up, but you have something to discuss with me."
"Your Majesty is very determined on the border. Because we do not agree to trade with each other, and taking advantage of the current epidemic in the capital and the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, we have no time to take care of the border. Yesterday, we led troops to attack Qiming City. The troops there are limited, so I think the imperial court should send troops to assist."
"Oh? This Libige is really overestimating his abilities. I wonder if the emperor has anyone in mind for him?"
"I feel that the most suitable candidate for the Donglin Wang family is Donglin Wang. He is good at using troops and is brave and good at fighting. He is a rare brave general."
"Let everything be done according to the wishes of the emperor. I will immediately issue an order to announce that King Donglin will enter the palace."
Feng Minyi was at home repeatedly watching Wang Yiyao pass a letter to him. Her handwriting was very handsome, a font that was not available in this era, and he liked it very much.
Ever since Lengfeng entered the shantytown, Wang Yiyao would send him a letter almost every few days, each time just a few lines long, but he couldn't get enough of it.
"Your Majesty, there is an imperial edict from the palace."
Feng Minyi returned to reality from her thoughts and came to the courtyard to receive the order. At this time, it was announced that there must be something urgent for him to enter the palace.
Li Qing prepared the carriage, and Feng Minyi arrived at the palace without any delay.
"Greetings to the Emperor, may the Emperor be blessed."
As soon as she entered the gate of Qianqing Palace and saw the regent there, Feng Minyi had a bad feeling that nothing good would happen every time he appeared.
"Without any gift, let's show King Donglin some tea."
Feng Minyi sat opposite the Regent. Their eyes met, and a malicious smile appeared under the Regent's cold and dark face.
"Your Majesty has something to see your younger brother."
"Well, I have an important thing to ask you. Libige from the frontier fortress took advantage of the epidemic and the floods in the south of the Yangtze River to lead his troops to attack Qiming City. After discussing with the regent, I want to send you to support."
Feng Minyi knew as soon as she heard this that this must be the regent's idea.
He killed two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he suppressed Libige, and on the other hand, he tested his own strength. Hum, this abacus was really good enough.
"My brother will live up to the emperor's trust. He will lead the troops to Qiming City tomorrow." Feng Minyi stood up and saluted the emperor, then left the palace on the pretext of going back to the palace to explain the matter.
Feng Minyi had never crawled before going on an expedition, but the current epidemic had not completely subsided, and Wang Yiyao was not feeling well. He was worried that the regent would have murderous intentions towards Wang Yiyao once he left.
No, he has to go to Juying Tower. Before leaving, he should tell Bai Yu, the envoy of Tianji Pavilion, to take good care of Wang Yiyao.
After returning to the mansion, Feng Minyi sent a letter to Bai Yu, and then took Li Qing to Xinghanyuan.
In the past, when Wang Yiyao was here, Feng Minyi rarely came here, but since she went to the shantytown to treat the epidemic, Feng Minyi would come over every few days to see their children, and even sent a few girls to help. Huan'er.
"Xiaolan, go and see if the egg custard in the kitchen is cooked?"
Now Huan'er has become the aunt in charge here. She only cares about the young prince and leaves the rest to these girls.
When Feng Minyi came in, she was coaxing the young prince to catch butterflies in the yard.
"Slave, please pay homage to the prince."
"Okay, get up, Xuan'er is doing well recently."
"Reporting to your lord, your son is fine. He just learned to walk recently and often falls."
"It's okay if the boy falls a few times. Don't help him. Let him get up on his own."
This statement coincides with that of her young lady. When the young lady was here, she was never allowed to feed the child, and he ate all by himself.
This biological father said today that he would not let him help him even if he fell down. The two of them really deserved to be husband and wife, and their ideas were surprisingly the same.
"I will go out to fight at the border tomorrow. Take good care of Xuan'er. If anything happens, go to A Qing and Li Qing. I will send someone to protect your safety secretly."
"Then the prince has a safe trip. My servant and Xuan'er are waiting for you and the young lady to come back."
Looking at Feng Minyi's back, Huan'er couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes. Not long after this young lady left, the prince had to go to the border to fight again. He took pity on the child and had to be separated from his parents since he was a child.
She couldn't help hugging the young prince tightly and pressing her face against his. Aunt Huan'er will take good care of you, my good Xuan'er.
It was almost time for the appointment with Bai Yu, and Feng Minyi called Li Qing over.
"Prepare the car. I am going to Juying Tower for a drink. I will get drunk again before leaving."
When we arrived at Juyinglou, we had a few bottles of wine and a table of dishes.
"Come, Li Qing, sit down and drink with me."
"Your Majesty, this..."
Li Qing declined on the surface, but he was already drooling over these delicacies.
"Let you sit down, hurry up. I'm not here during this period. You have to take good care of the palace, especially the young prince. Then take care of the servants in the palace. Come and give you a toast."
Li Qing was not a good drinker. After a few glasses of wine, he fell asleep on the table like before. Feng Minyi patted him a few times, but there was no reaction at all.
He turned around and went to the private room on the second floor. Bai Yu had been waiting here for a long time.
"The Pavilion Master is so anxious to summon his subordinates, but there is something urgent?"
"The war at the border is urgent, and the emperor sent me to provide support. I asked you to come here because I want you to send more people to help me guard the palace. Although there is a cold wind over the princess's side, you should check it at any time."
"My subordinates must live up to the trust entrusted by the Pavilion Master."
After the two briefly talked, Feng Minyi went downstairs, woke up Li Qing, and the two came to the training ground. It was a long way to the border and the task was arduous, so he had to explain it properly.
"Soldiers, we will set off to the border tomorrow. I hope you will make adequate preparations and settle down your family."
Feng Minyi didn't say much. These soldiers had been with him for many years. He gave them half a day in the afternoon to say goodbye to their families.
After dinner, Feng Minyi returned to her bedroom, picked up the white mask hanging on the bedside, looked at it for a long time, then lay down on the bed and slept with her clothes on.
Early the next morning, at the west entrance of the capital, the emperor, the regent, the queen mother, and Chu Wanting all came to see Feng Minyi off.
"Royal brother, I'm waiting for your triumphant return, so take care of yourself along the way."
"King Donglin, I hope you can live up to the great trust and return victoriously as soon as possible." After the regent finished speaking, he patted Feng Minyi hard on the shoulder and looked at him with provocative eyes.
Feng Minyi came to the Queen Mother and Chu Wanting.
"Yier, take care of yourself. Your mother will pray for you in the palace to ensure your safe return."
"Brother Yi, Wanting will also pray for you together with the Queen Mother."
Feng Minyi walked down the tower, mounted his horse and moved forward. Before leaving, he glanced back at Feng Nantian on the tower, with an unsuspecting smile on his lips.
