When Qi Han entered the palace, he saw Xu Yin walking slowly alone.
She hurriedly stepped forward: "Why didn't the princess ask someone to support her? With such a big belly, it's too dangerous."
Xu Yin smiled and said: "I don't want to help you. The imperial doctor said that the day is coming soon. It's better to move around more and it will be better."
Qi Han sincerely wished: "The princess is in good health and will give birth to Lin'er smoothly."
Xu Yin accepted her blessing: "I hope it's as you wish." Then he asked, "What about you? It's been several months since we got married. When will there be any news?"
Qi Han blushed at her teasing: "Oh, I don't know that either!"
Her shy look made the maid nearby laugh.
Qi Han was also familiar with these maids, so he kept his face and pretended to be angry: "If you still laugh, I will ask the princess to marry you all!"
Then the girls made a fuss, leaving behind a string of laughter.
Xu Yin listened with a smile, and was helped by Xiao Man to sit down, stroking his belly and sighing: "I didn't expect that one day I would even have to be helped while sitting."
Xiaoman said: "It's only for these two months. Princess, just bear with it."
In fact, she is not used to it. She has followed the third lady since she was a child, and there is nothing she can't do in heaven or on earth. But now she is trapped by a child.
Thinking like this, Xiao Man sighed: "When I heard the Legend of the White Snake before, I always felt that the White Snake was so powerful, but why did she lose all her power when she was pregnant with the child, and let Fa Hai take advantage of her? Now looking at the princess's appearance, I finally understand. Okay.
The princess does not need magic power, and there are so many people around to protect her, so she will be able to give birth safely."
Xu Yin picked up the teacup to cover the smile on her lips, and thought to herself, this is not necessarily the case. Aren't some people just waiting for her to be like the White Snake?
After the laughter was over, Xu Yin asked the maids to retreat, leaving only Qi Han to speak.
"You came today because things have been settled?"
Qi Han bit his lip, stood up and knelt down to apologize: "I didn't do it, and I'm dead."
Xu Yin froze his gaze: "No more? When?"
Qi Han lowered his head: "It was said that he died of illness. Counting the time, he contracted the disease not long after leaving Beijing."
Xu Yin smacked, put the tea in his hand on the table, and said calmly: "I also thought that the person with a soft temperament was determined at this moment. She was definitely not good at all, but she didn't feel sorry for him at all.
.”
Qi Han looked sad: "I was not careful, please punish me, Princess."
Xu Yin raised his hand: "Let's find a way to remedy it first, we have other bargaining chips."
"yes."
…
The victory on the front line plunged the capital into a joyous atmosphere.
Jiang Yi is dead, and the traitor who helped the false emperor to rebel has received the punishment he deserves. The Zhangzhou Zhao family finally handed over their congratulatory form and surrendered to the new emperor. I heard that Jiangdong was also negotiating, and soon
Envoys will be sent.
The world is unified and the world is peaceful and prosperous!
After experiencing the turbulent decades of the Green Forest Rebellion, the people are all longing for this day.
After the celebration, everyone began to look forward to the return of King Jin's master, and everyone in the streets was talking about it.
After a few days of this, the atmosphere cooled down slightly, and something suddenly broke out in the court.
Last month's military supplies had been settled, but unexpectedly, a prison official who had been deprived of his post and sentenced came to Beijing to beat the drum.
The woman was beaten thirty times and sued Qi County Sima Hongqing, claiming that her husband had obeyed Hong Qing's orders throughout the whole process and that the fire in the grain truck that night was also caused by Hong Qing's transfer.
This is great, the court exploded. Who doesn't know that Hong Qing is a disciple of the Xie family, and to accuse Hong Qing is to accuse the Xie family, and to accuse the Xie family is to accuse the prince.
The King of Jin is fighting on the front lines, while the prince’s in-laws are using military supplies in the rear? This is simply a huge scandal!
However, the King of Jin was at the height of his power, and the news spread to the market. For a time, everyone had different opinions, pointing the finger at the prince.
Xu Huan was so surprised that he called Du Ming privately and asked, "We didn't do this, right?"
Du Ming respectfully said: "Sir, I will never know anything about this matter."
Xu Yin now lives in the palace, and Qi Han basically relies on Qi Han to tell him about things outside. If Du Ming doesn't know, it has nothing to do with Xu Yin.
Xu Huan was puzzled: "Who did it? Now...is he a disciple of His Highness?"
Du Ming told the truth: "General, I don't think so. Your Highness is bent on fighting, and all matters in Beijing are entrusted to the princess and you. If they have such a plan, they will definitely send someone to ventilate the situation."
He paused and then said: "Moreover, I think this is not a good time. His Highness has not yet returned to the capital, and he has created such a momentum. Doesn't it tell others that their brothers are not getting along? This is a time when His Highness's popularity is soaring.
, doing this now is not worth the gain.”
Xu Huan nodded, he thought so too. What impression would it give to others if he started fighting among himself just after the external enemy was defeated? Yan Ling had already risked his life in exchange for his illustrious military exploits, so he couldn't do anything wrong.
——It should be noted that Yan Cheng occupies the title of the eldest son, and using the younger one as the eldest son will attract criticism. If one person does not do well, he will gain notoriety in vain. Therefore, do not be impatient.
"So it turns out that we have met." Xu Huan sighed, "I really don't know whether this is good or bad luck."
Du Ming nodded and said yes: "I will try my best to restrain the people around me and not let them get involved, so as not to cause trouble to His Highness and Princess."
"What you said is very true." Xu Huan agreed, "His Highness' disciples had better go and take a breather."
Du Ming responded: "Yes."
…
Yan Cheng knelt in front of the Mingguang Hall, bowing his head and waiting for the summons.
The courtiers coming and going were all seen.
Not long after, the chamberlain came over to invite someone.
Yan Cheng entered the hall and knelt down again: "Father, the child has come to plead guilty."
Emperor Mingde coughed and raised his hand to him: "My father just told you to wait, why did you kneel outside for a long time? Get up, our family doesn't like this."
"Thank you, father." Yan Cheng raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, stood up and said, "Father is tolerant, but I can't take it lightly. I was negligent in this matter, and I didn't expect Hong Qing to lie to him. But father, you know it.
, I also punished Hong Qing, and I definitely didn’t mean to indulge intentionally.”
Emperor Mingde snorted and said: "Did you listen to the words of those villains and think that my father thinks that you are using military supplies behind your back? It doesn't have to be like this. If I had doubts, I would ask you to ask."
Seeing his attitude, Yan Cheng felt relieved, with a look of shame on his face: "My child is overthinking."
Emperor Mingde sighed inwardly and said: "Acheng, our family has been through thick and thin together. As a father, I hope that we can still be that warm family, instead of being turned into a ruthless imperial family by the cold and cold Gangchang. Things like this,
There is no need to panic, as my father believes that you and Xiaoer will never do anything like brothers fighting against each other."
These words came from the bottom of his heart, and Yan Cheng felt warm in his heart, as if he had returned to Tongyang again. It was so good in the past, when the family was cordial and harmonious, and his father devoted himself to training him. How could it be like now, when he is placed in the position of the prince, but
It does not receive corresponding attention.
Emperor Mingde waved him over: "Okay, let's take care of this matter quickly, lest the waiter comes back from the war and have to face these rumors."
Listen, waiter, waiter, my father is not worried about him being criticized, but he is worried that waiter will hear these words.
