Not long after, Yunxi ran in, saw Lao Zhu, saluted and said, "Grandpa, my grandson is back."
Lao Zhu's mood fluctuated slightly and he said: "Yunxi, sit down. Su Huai'en, bring two cups of tea." Su Huai'en brought two cups of tea up, and then went down immediately. Suddenly there were only two people in the hall, the grandfather and the grandson.
Lao Zhu smiled gently and said: "Yunxi, take a rest first. We will talk later."
Yunxi took a sip of tea and said obediently: "No need, my grandson is not tired now."
Lao Zhu stared at Yunxi for a moment, and then said: "Then let's get down to business. Next time, you must not take such a risk! The son of a rich man does not sit in the court, and the generals under him will do the war. How can you do that? Do it yourself?"
"This time, I thought that you would have gone to the desert by the time your report arrived in the capital, and it would be safe to lead a large army in the Northern Expedition, and it would be useless even if I ordered you to come back. Grandpa is also old and can't stand it. Such a thing happened.”
Yunxi shrugged his head and said, "I understand, grandpa."
Lao Zhu said a few words to Yunxi again as his grandfather. Seeing how sincere Yunxi was in repenting, he left it at that.
Of course Yunxi would "repent sincerely" because he really didn't want to take risks anymore. No, he had never liked taking risks. What happened this time was an accident. He had always cherished his life in this world.
Then Lao Zhu said: "As for Lan Zhen's handling of things, I think about it this way: This time you were attacked Lan Zhen, you have done your duty, and there are no problems with the layout of the camp, so there will be no reward or punishment. My plan is In the edict, he wrote: "Lan Zhen, the Duke of Ziliang, accompanied the emperor's grandson in the Northern Expedition and made military exploits. However, he was a little negligent and allowed the Mongolian elite cavalry to break into the camp. Many of his highness's bodyguards were damaged, so they will not be rewarded." If there is no punishment, the merit will outweigh the fault. 'What do you think?"
Yunxi said: "Grandpa said it is." Before coming back, Lan Zhen had imagined that she would be punished or even demoted. Yunxi also made the best and most pessimistic preparation, but he was able to achieve a balance between merit and demerit. Of course I won't have any other opinions.
Lao Zhu added: "Cao Xing broke his arm. Grandpa planned to make him an uncle on the grounds of being 'brave and courageous', so that he would have two titles to be passed on to his descendants. The three surviving guards were also awarded: Yang Fengzhi My father was promoted to the rank of hereditary commander, and both Song Liang and Li Bo were hereditary commanders."
Yunxi said: "That's what grandpa said." Lao Zhu's handling was very appropriate, and he had nothing to say.
Lao Zhu added: "Your rewards in the Xuan Mansion are all acceptable, and I have approved them. You also gave Qin Song a wife? Is she the daughter of Zhang Lun, the commander of the security right guard? Yes, you did a good job. You personally It is a great honor for them to be the guarantee. Zhang Lun and Qin Songyou are both capable. It is not bad for two families to be bound by one marriage."
Yunxi didn't think that much at all at that time, it was just a whim. But could he tell the truth at this time? He could only say nothing.
Then Lao Zhu talked to Yunxi about some things, and then said to him: "You go back to Wenhua Palace." After a pause, he said: "Comfort Mr. Xue well, she is also worried about you."
Yunxi said: "Yes, grandpa." Then he stepped back. After walking out of Jinshen Hall, he immediately started running.
In the bedroom of the Princess of Wenyuan Pavilion in Wenhua Palace, Xue Xiyao, known as the Great Xue Family, was talking to her younger sister, Xue Xiyi, known as the Little Xue Family.
Xiyao said: "Sister, you are presiding over palace affairs these days. Is there anyone who disobeys your discipline?"
Xiyi said: "No, he is slacking off. He will be fine after being punished a few times by me."
Xiyao looked at her sister's face and saw that she had no intention of hiding anything, and said, "That's good. By the way, among the maids of Wenhua Palace, who is more honest and responsible?"
Xiyi asked: "What does sister want to do?"
Xiyao said: "When His Majesty comes back, His Majesty will definitely add someone to the Wenhua Palace. Instead of waiting for His Majesty to add someone, it is better for us to find one in the Wenhua Palace ourselves."
Xiyi said: "Sister, must a man have three wives and four concubines?"
Xiyao said: "What nonsense are you talking about! If we marry into an ordinary family, then it's okay if we have the stomach to live up to our expectations; how can the royal family monopolize His Highness? Just write 'The flowers are blooming on the road, and you can slowly return home'
Didn't King Qian Wusu have other concubines besides Queen Chen? Since ancient times, has there ever been an emperor with only one concubine?"
Xiyi kept a calm face and said nothing. She definitely didn't want to, but she knew that what Xiyao said was right. Of course, they didn't know that in history, Zhu Youtang, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, only had one queen and no other concubines.
It is the only one in Chinese history.
Looking at her sister's expression, Xiyao knew that she was unwilling. She sighed and said, "I'll do it myself." After a pause, she said, "Speaking of which, it's already the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and New Year's Eve will be in two days.
Yes, why hasn’t His Highness come back yet?”
At this time, the servant who was waiting outside quickly walked in and said: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Your Highness has returned to Beijing!"
Xiyao immediately stood up and said, "Where is Your Highness!"
The servant said: "Miss, Your Highness has just entered the palace and is now in the Jinshen Palace."
Xiyao said: "Quickly, clean up His Highness's bedroom again; tell Wang Bu that the outer study also needs to be cleaned again." The servant said: "Yes." Then he went down.
Xiyi said: "Sister, you are pregnant, how can you continue to work hard? I am responsible for everything."
Xiyao also knew that her child was the most important, but she didn't trust Xiyi to do things! So Wen Yan said, "It's okay." and then took care of it.
When Yunxi returned to the entrance of Wenhua Palace, Xiyao was already waiting inside the Wenhua Gate with her personal maids and Wang Jin, Wang Bu, Wang Gong and other eunuchs of Wenhua Palace.
When they saw Yunxi, they immediately bowed and saluted. Yunxi came up and immediately helped Xiyao up and said, "What are you doing here in this cold day? How can my family have such false courtesy? What's more, you are still pregnant.
Hold the baby."
Xiyao smiled sweetly and said, "It's okay." But she still obeyed and was helped up by Yunxi.
Yunhe helped Xiyao back to the dormitory of Wenyuan Pavilion, and sent everyone else out, including Xiyi. Then he said to Xiyao, "How are you doing in the capital these days?"
Xiyao said: "I am doing well in the capital. His Majesty takes good care of me. The servants in Wenhua Palace are also very obedient. My mother comes into the palace every now and then to talk to me. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just," she looked at
Yunxi: "Your Highness, how could you go to the battlefield in person? When I found out later, I was almost scared to death."
Yunxi comforted her and said, "This was just an accident. I promise, it won't happen again."
After that, the couple talked about some light things, and it was time to eat. Xiyao called Xiyi over and had lunch together. In the afternoon, Yunxi was too tired to rush for time these days, so he slept all afternoon. Then he ate
