The ministers walked through the main entrance, and there were two side entrances. One of the side entrances was used by the people in the inner palace, and the other side entrance was quite close to the emperor's bedroom. The emperor usually summoned his concubines to attend his bedroom, and this was where the concubines came from.
Side entrance.
Today, two figures came out of the side door.
The handsome Prince Yingchuan walked slowly and slowly. He stretched out his hand to support the Crown Princess Yingchuan and gently told her: "Walk slower, don't fall."
The Crown Princess of Yingchuan did not make a sound and followed her husband with her head lowered.
She had tidied up her appearance, her hair was combed again, and her clothes were neatly arranged. Her downturned face was glowing with a delicate red color, making her extremely charming.
Like a thief, she had no courage to look up at her husband, let alone the courtiers who were saluting.
She has been living in the palace for more than a month, and she has come to Fuyou Hall three times. Each time she came to Fuyou Hall for as little as half an hour and as long as half a day. Even though Prince Yingchuan accompanied her every time, even if Empress Su gave her a harsh sentence.
Despite the gag order, there were still constant rumors in the harem.
Prince Yingchuan obviously doesn't care...he wouldn't be able to do such a shameless thing.
The teasing and mocking glances of the other princes and princes did not matter to Prince Yingchuan whether they were hurt or not. To him, the visible benefits were the most important.
Apart from anything else, he is now the most frequently summoned by the emperor among the vassal princes. Moreover, Emperor Yongming also asked him to enter the clan's mansion and serve as a clan order.
Xu Jing was born and died in Jizhou, and the credit and halo belonged to the prince. He was different. He didn't have to contribute, but he could get real benefits and benefits by just having a little green hair on his head.
"You go back to the palace first." Prince Yingchuan stopped and was particularly kind to Prince Yingchuan's concubine: "I want to go to the clan mansion."
The Crown Princess of Yingchuan responded in a low voice.
Prince Yingchuan suddenly stretched out his hand, lifted her chin, and smiled very gently: "Why do you keep your head down? Lift your head and smile happily. I just like the way you smile."
Princess Yingchuan had no choice but to smile.
Prince Yingchuan was then satisfied and casually ordered: "Go back and have a good rest. I will go back early to accompany you in the evening."
Then he left.
Princess Yingchuan bit her lip hard and walked back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Princess Yingchuan secretly cried for a while before going to the bathroom and washing herself carefully with hot water.
"To the Crown Princess, Aunt Muzi is here."
Mushroom Zi is Empress Su's confidant, and everyone in the harem knows it.
The Crown Princess of Yingchuan did not dare to neglect and immediately stood up to greet her.
After Muzhi came in, she didn't say much to the Crown Princess of Yingchuan. She only said: "The Queen felt pity for the Crown Princess's hard work, so she specially gave her a bowl of tonic soup and asked the Crown Princess to drink it."
Princess Yingchuan's ears were burning. She gritted her teeth and thanked her, and drank the bowl of "Tonic Soup" in one gulp under Mushi Zi's gaze.
…
Mushizi returns to Jiaofang Hall to resume her life.
Queen Su's eyes were full of disgust and she said calmly: "In the past few days, there are always people in the harem talking nonsense. Send someone to spread the word that no one is allowed to talk nonsense."
The prince led the troops to Jizhou and won a great victory first. Empress Su was extremely happy for such a happy event. However, when she turned around, she was extremely disgusted.
Muzhi responded and comforted her master in a low voice: "Madam, please relax. Your Highness, the Prince, is stable in Jizhou, which is better than anything else."
Yes, as long as the son is fine, who cares about the disgusting things Emperor Yongming did.
Empress Su calmed down and smiled softly: "Send someone to the Su Mansion to deliver a message asking Jin'er to come into the palace. I haven't seen her in some days."
Mushi Zi smiled and responded.
Half a day later, Su Jin entered the Jiaofang Hall.
A young girl in her prime is as delicate and beautiful as a flower on a branch.
Queen Su also really liked this niece. She smiled and waved to Su Jin: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to salute. Come sit here and talk."
Su Jin did not dare to be coquettish, and bowed respectfully before walking over and congratulating Queen Su with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the troops to a great victory in Jizhou. This is a great happy event."
Empress Su's eyebrows relaxed and she said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you make meritorious service or not. I just hope that the prince can come back safely."
Emperor Yongming had only one son, and the Jin Dynasty had only one prince. From the day he was born, Xu Jun was favored by everyone. Everyone expected him to grow up safely. Even if he was stupid or had bad habits,
It doesn't matter.
The prince grew up under the careful care and upbringing of Queen Su. He was smart and kind beyond everyone's expectation. The only pity was that he was a little weak.
Therefore, the fact that the prince should get married as soon as possible and have an heir has long been a top priority for everyone in and outside the palace.
Queen Su looked at Su Jin as if she were her future daughter-in-law. She was very satisfied with everything, and her tone could not help but reveal something: "When Jun'er leads the troops back to Beijing this time, the emperor will issue a decree to grant Jun'er a marriage."
Already."
Su Jin lowered his head and remained silent.
Queen Su thought her niece was shy, so she couldn't help but smile and quickly changed the subject.
…
"...I went to the battlefield for the first time in my life. Prince Dingguo saw that I shot Zhang Chong to death with an arrow, and praised me for my amazing power and unparalleled martial arts. In fact, my legs were weak that day. There were corpses and blood everywhere on the battlefield.
It was like a river, with heads rolling everywhere, and broken limbs everywhere. After the battle, I hid secretly and vomited. For two days in a row, I couldn't eat a bite of meat..."
Zhao Xiyan held the letter and felt like laughing while looking at it, and her nose felt a little sore.
After the good news of Jizhou's victory reached the capital, it took five or six days for Xu Jing's letter to arrive.
She couldn't bear to read the dozen or so thick pages. She always had to read one page five or six times before she was willing to turn to the next page.
Xu Jing was born into wealth and grew up in a splendid society. The greatest grievance he suffered in his life was that he had to enter the palace. Even in the palace, he did not suffer any sin.
Nowadays, it is extremely difficult to go out with the army, not to mention food, clothing, housing and transportation, and to lead the troops into battle.
With Xu Jing's temper, he would never show weakness and timidity in front of others. In fact, he was just a teenager. Facing the cruel battlefield, there would be times when he would be frightened or frightened.
Zhao Xiyan turned to the next piece of letter paper.
"...This victory is over, and there are more battles to be fought next. It is indeed a wise decision for the prince's cousin to come to Jizhou. Under the banner of my cousin, wherever I go, the morale of the military is greatly boosted. Cousin
He also ordered the government offices to open warehouses to release grain, so many hungry people had a mouthful of rice, and their hearts became much more stable."
"I just look forward to finishing this battle as soon as possible and returning to the capital as soon as possible. I haven't seen you for so many days and I really miss you..."
Zhao Xiyan felt sweet in her heart and lowered her head to kiss the letter.
It was like kissing Xu Jing's handsome face through the letter paper.
