Mrs. Murong's eyes were red and she packed her son's luggage herself.
Murong Ke was funny but helpless: "Mom, he can go to fight, but he can't go sightseeing. Just bring a few changes of clothes."
Clothing boxes and cages are neatly placed in a room, so two or three carriages need to be accommodated!
Madam Murong wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I have grown up, this is my first time traveling far away. I don't know how long the battle will last. How can I not bring more clothes? He has packed them all, and I have brought them too."
exist."
Murong Ke felt a headache when he saw his mother crying: "Mom, there are military rules in the army. My father and eldest brother have both led troops and fought in battles. Have I prepared so many clothes for them?"
"How can that be the same?" Mrs. Murong glared at her son with red eyes: "My father is a general, and he has someone to take care of him when he travels. My eldest brother used to go to Beihai County to suppress bandits, and he was a general and led thousands of people. I am in the New Army.
I'm just an ordinary captain, with a hundred soldiers under my command. I don't even have any ostentation, so who cares about me?"
The more Mrs. Murong talked, the more resentful she became: "The prince is my biological brother-in-law, and he asked me to join the New Army that month. He originally thought that he was asking for me to be reused and to command the camp of the New Army. In fact, he asked me to be a junior officer in the army.
Waiting for the captain. What kind of brother-in-law is that?"
Murong Ke frowned and whispered: "Then don't say anything later. Third sister is in the East Palace as the crown prince's concubine, and her situation is already difficult. Mother's complaints and begging for permission reached the ears of the East Palace of the crown prince. Third sister's
Wouldn't confinement be more difficult?"
Madam Murong said bitterly: "There are only two of them, mother and son. He feels depressed and unhappy, so why can't he just nag a few words in front of his son? Am I not good at imitating the words in front of the prince?"
Murong Ke had to shut his mouth and listen to his wife's noise.
Madam Murong's suffocating breath was really uncomfortable. It was like a flood opening its gates, and she started to talk endlessly: "It has been almost half a year since Yan'er married into the East Palace, and he won't be able to enter the East Palace to see her until tomorrow.
But the Su family went to the palace to visit Su Huan from time to time."
"The crown prince's heart is almost as strong as his armpits. The empress is also partial to the Su family, pitiful for his Yan'er, who has never had a confinement in the East Palace. The prince doesn't take my uncle seriously...
…”
Mrs. Murong felt sad and cried while talking.
The two concubines of the crown prince in the East Palace are inevitably compared by others. Su Huan's natal family often enters the palace, which is not a clear proof that Su Huan is favored.
In comparison, Murong Yan's situation was much bleak. Even though her father and brother were taking care of her in the palace, the palace attendants outside did not dare to bully her, so she could not resist being favored by the prince.
Prince Diandong has never entered Murong Yan's bedroom, and this matter has become a joke in the capital.
Murong Ke felt uncomfortable in his heart and comforted his mother in a low voice: "Mom, don't cry. My father and eldest brother are both on duty in the palace. Every ten days and a half, I can always see my third sister. I wonder if it is because of this that the queen did not call her.
Mother enters the palace."
Mrs. Murong cried and said: "The prince has not entered Yan'er's bedroom for half a year and has never stayed overnight."
Murong Ke coaxed patiently: "Dian Dong had a heart attack during the Laba Festival last year, and he lay on the bed for several months before he recovered. Did Dian Dong deliberately neglect the third sister, or was he in poor health and weak-minded? That Su Zi
Concubine, there is no good news until tomorrow, mother, don’t be impatient. You are afraid of being late for a good meal, maybe the third sister can get the good news before Concubine Su."
Madam Murong stopped crying, wiped her eyes hard, gritted her teeth and whispered: "The prince is so weak, if he is inhumane, wouldn't he have deceived my third sister?"
Murong Ke was startled, his brows twitched, and his voice suddenly deepened: "Mother, where did those words come from? Is it what they said, or is it mother's random speculation?"
Murong Ke had always been filial and good-tempered, and it was rare for him to be so cold-faced and angry.
Mrs. Murong was shocked by her son's anger. She felt guilty and lowered her voice: "How dare he say such nonsense? He didn't even mention it to my father."
"Don't say it again in the future." Murong Ke warned with a sullen face: "If mother misses the third sister, she will pass the post to the palace. If she passes it a few times, the empress will always soften her heart and nod."
Madam Murong nodded in agreement.
The mother and son were talking when familiar footsteps sounded outside the door.
Murong Ke went to open the door: "Brother!"
No, Murong Shen has returned home.
Murong Shen entered the house, glanced at the boxes and cages on the floor, and twitched his lips: "Why are you bringing so many boxes and cages if you don't want to go out for summer vacation?"
Mrs. Murong's mistake was her eldest son, and she suddenly lost most of her confidence: "He has never fought in a war, how can he know anything about that."
Murong Shen said calmly: "It's enough to bring a box of clothes." Then he patted Murong Ke on the shoulder: "They go to the study and shut up."
Murong Ke nodded and followed his brother to the study.
Murong Shen took out a folded map from his sleeve and gave it to Murong Ke: "That's the map of Qinghe County. He found it specially. I'll keep it with me. Maybe it can be used in the future."
Murong Ke felt warm in his heart and stretched out his legs to take the map: "Thank you, brother."
Murong Shen said warmly: "Brothers from the Jin family, how can you thank me for such a trivial matter?"
"My father is on duty in the palace and has no time to return home. There are some things that his elder brother asked me to tell him one by one."
"This is the first time I am on the battlefield. I am not eager to make meritorious deeds. No matter when I am in the field, I want to save my own life first. When people are present, everything is there. When people are gone, everything is gone."
"Very well, when Mingyue left, the soldiers he brought with him in the mansion were useless if there were not enough of them. He brought a hundred soldiers with him. The only thing they wanted to do on the battlefield was to protect my safety. Even if there was a stray arrow.
, there are also people blocking in front of me."
"When Qinghe County is pacified and I gain military exploits, my official position will be promoted."
Murong Ke nodded in response, unable to hold back, he whispered: "Brother, I have changed a lot in the past few months."
Murong Shen's eyes flashed and he twitched his lips: "How has he changed?"
Murong Ke scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "He can't tell. Does he feel that the eldest brother is much closer than before?"
For more than a year, my brother had been cold and tough, looking at everyone with disdain in his eyes.
Ru Ming is much gentler and more approachable.
Murong Shen smiled and said casually: "He is not an imperial captain and has no right to be proud. Maybe one day, he will be able to step down. By then, he will let everyone know
He’s awesome.”
Murong Ke's smile froze: "Brother, don't just joke around."
Isn’t that disrespectful?
Murong Shen glanced at Murong Ke and smiled faintly: "I was wrong. Don't tell such jokes."
Murong Ke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
