As soon as Yunxi walked to the entrance of the courtyard of Kunning Palace, he heard a joyful voice saying: "Daddy." Yunxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Min'er running over with a happy face.
Yunxi picked her up and said with a smile, "Why aren't you playing with your sisters in the house?"
"My daughter was originally playing with Aunt Baoqing, Sister Siqi and Aunt Xianqin in the house, but after noon she was sitting at the door waiting for her father," Min'er said.
"Why, are you still worried that daddy won't come back? When did daddy never keep his word?"
"It's true that dad never keeps his word, but my daughter is still afraid that dad won't come over."
Yun He hugged Min'er tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, daddy will always be by Min'er's side from now on."
"Um."
Xianqin stood at the door of the palace and was very emotional when she saw this scene. Her father Zhu Shu used to be a mixed person. Except for taking a little care of his eldest son, he didn't care much about other children. After experiencing the Luxie Rebellion, he changed
She was alone, but she became a monk, and she was even more indifferent to her original child. Xianqin went back once, but Zhu Shu only told her "you must not do evil, and do one good deed every day" and there was nothing else.
As a result, she has almost never felt her father's love.
"It would be great if my father could do this to me, even for just one day." Xianqin murmured.
Siqi stood next to Xianqin, and naturally heard her words and was moved. Siqi was different from her. Her father passed away before she was born. After she was born, her mother died in childbirth and she was taken into the palace. She has always been Yun.
Yunxi, Xiyao took care of her, and she grew up in a caring environment. But after all, Yunxi was not her father, and Xiyao was not her mother. Although she was treated the same as Miner, she could always learn from it.
I can feel the difference in the subtleties, so I am full of longing for a real father.
However, Yunxi immediately came over with Min'er in his arms, and Siqi immediately put her thoughts aside. Her father would never appear again. Instead of hoping for something that was simply impossible, it was better to seize the life in front of her.
Xianqin also put away his emotions, walked up to Yunxi with a smile, said a few words, and walked into the hall together.
Sisters Xiyao and Xiyi have come back. On a normal day, they would probably keep their families until noon and have lunch together before letting them go back. But today Yunxi said that they wanted to come back for a meal, so they talked for a while and then let their families go.
gone.
He specifically told the eldest brother and the second brother: "Brother, most of the yamen related to military preparations are currently preparing for the war against the Kingdom of Samarkand, and the navy is much more relaxed. But eldest brother must not slack off. Don't do too much in other guard posts.
No matter what, your men and horses must be well trained."
"When the war with the Samarkand Kingdom is over, the Emperor will definitely still have naval forces. When the time comes, he will be happy to see your troops at their most organized. Not only will my eldest brother be favored by His Majesty, but we sisters will also have dignity in the palace."
"I must strictly follow your empress's teachings." Xue Xiran immediately agreed.
Xiyao turned to Xiyang again: "Second brother, you should study hard and prepare for the provincial examination the year after next."
"You must study hard! Our family is all warriors, and you are the only one who has the seed to study. In the future, whether you stay in the court or go to the vassal to help Wen Qi, Wen Yin and the others will be fine."
"Brother, I know."
"It doesn't matter." Xiyao smiled and said, "Although according to etiquette, you have to call me empress, the emperor doesn't care about it. You just need to pay attention in public. You don't need to be so strict in private."
He also asked his parents to take care of their health. If there was anything missing, tell her and it would be allocated to them from the inner treasury of the palace. He remembered something again and said to Xiyang: "Sister, I heard that your wife is pregnant? Ask Zhiyi to get some anti-fetal medicine." , then go to the imperial doctor at the imperial hospital to have a look, and be sure to ensure safety. A woman’s first child is the most important.”
Their parents also gave them a few words of advice, and told Xiyi to take good care of her body. Seeing that it was getting late, they got up and left.
Xiyao stood up and was about to reply when she suddenly thought of something and said to her eldest brother Xiran: "I almost forgot. The emperor ordered me to read more books about the West."
"Western?" Xue Xiran agreed, bowed and stepped back.
Xiyao immediately ordered her servants to serve Xiyi when she came back. She returned to Kunning Palace first to deal with the matters that could not be postponed until tomorrow. She also ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare cooking. She heard a voice coming from the door and hurriedly got up to greet her. .
Naturally, Yunxi was exempted from the gift. He carried Min'er and went to the dining hall with her. While chatting, he waited for the lunch to be delivered from the royal kitchen. After the lunch was delivered, the family ate happily.
…
…
At the same time, Li Shaer was also having dinner with her brother. Li Jiqian, like Xue Xiran, although he returned to the capital with Yunxi, he stayed in Liujiagang for nearly twenty days and returned to the capital a few days ago. A month's leave.
Although Li Sha'er had met her brother several times on the way back, she was still very excited when she saw her today. She talked for a while, and it wasn't until the palace maid came to whisper that it was already noon that she sent someone to order the royal meal. Prepare lunch in the room.
Li Sha'er is now considered a popular figure, so the imperial kitchen's response is very quick. Of course, the first-class chefs will not have their turn when the emperor is not dining with her. Several second-class chefs with the best cooking skills will serve Xu Miaojin. After the lunch was ready, it was cooked for her and sent over.
While Li Shaer was eating, she was still talking to her brother. "Brother, this time the battle is over. Brother, you have been promoted to the commander. If you get promoted further, it will not be so easy. Not only do you have to perform meritorious service, but you also have to have people." Take care of me. I think, brother, you should stop thinking about getting promoted. Let your step-brother continue to work hard to get promoted, and live a long life in the Navy."
"Sha'er, I'm only forty years old this year, not sixty years old, and I haven't reached my old age yet." Li Jiqian said with a smile: "Besides, although the commander is a third-grade official, he is only in charge of one guard. There are only a thousand men. The Ming Dynasty has nearly 400 guards. A commander is a bit small. Why should I be a commander in the Donghai Navy?" A commander is responsible for several people in the navy. Ten large ships, although they don't have many people, their status is very important.
Li Sha'er naturally didn't want to continue taking such risks, but she had no choice but to let him go. And because he was her closest relative, she had to plan carefully for him.
Li Shaer racked her brains to think of something she could give her brother. Suddenly she thought of something and said, "Brother, if you really want to make meritorious deeds, you should learn more about Majapahit."
"Although His Majesty let the big witchcraft case in Guangzhou go in the end, he actually still hates his country very much in his heart. He just has to deal with Samarkand first, so he let it go for the time being, but there will definitely be wars in the future."
