"Your Majesty." The palace attendant stepped forward and saluted.
Zhang Jingshu immediately saw the palace attendants helping her up: "You don't need to be like this."
The palace servant's face was full of gratitude: "Thanks to the protection of the empress, this slave can survive in the palace, otherwise I am afraid that... I will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the second master."
"Shh..." Zhang Jingshu looked out the door, "Don't mention this matter again in the future."
The palace servant nodded: "I understand." It was only when I got to the palace that I realized how terrible it was. Many people died in the palace in the past few months. She has not been found alive until now, all because of Concubine Jing and the Zhang family.
maintenance.
"No one will come to this place," Zhang Jingshu said, "As long as you obey my arrangements, I will let the baby in your belly be born smoothly."
A firm look appeared on the palace man's face: "I will definitely do a good job."
Zhang Jingshu said: "I can't stay too long. If you feel depressed..."
"I won't feel bored," the palace servant said. "The Zhang family is very kind to my whole family. The eldest master and the third master have gone, so I should do something for the Zhang family."
Zhang Jingshu said no more, turned around and walked out of the house, then walked out of the concubine's residence through a small door and went straight to Cining Palace.
Even if someone found her here, she would say that she was going to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother, and with the Queen Mother covering her up, she would not be afraid of being discovered.
Zhang Jingshu walked into Cining Palace, her face immediately changed to an excited expression, she walked quickly into the hall, and when she saw the Queen Mother, she immediately saluted: "The Queen Mother, Second Uncle... Mr. Zhang won the battle in Northern Xinjiang."
"Why are you panicking? There is no etiquette at all," the Queen Mother looked at Zhang Jingshu, "I have been in the palace for so long and I still have the same temperament. It has not changed at all."
Zhang Jingshu pursed her lips and did not dare to speak anymore.
"Get up," the Queen Mother said, "the Ai family has known this for a long time. If Zhang Yuchi did not have this ability, the Ai family would not dare to help him solicit so much military resources.
His military exploits like this not only consolidated the position of our Zhang family, but also let everyone in the imperial court know that those in Northern Xinjiang could not only rely on Song Chengxuan. If the emperor had trusted the Zhang family at that time, Zhang Yuchi could have killed Li Xu and attacked Li Xu.
Retreat the Tatars."
Zhang Jingshu stood up and served tea to the Queen Mother, then took the place of the palace and kneaded the Queen Mother's legs: "The Emperor specially called me to the Yangxin Hall and asked me what was going on here with the Queen Mother. I said that the Queen Mother was also worried about the situation in Northern Xinjiang, so she
At this moment the battle report came in...The emperor was very happy."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jingshu choked up slightly.
"Okay," the Queen Mother pulled Zhang Jingshu up, "You have worked hard these days, and your father's incident is considered a punishment for you. Now that the Zhang family's life is getting better, you don't have to be so worried."
Zhang Jingshu's mind recalled the scene when she begged the palace servants in the cold palace. At that time, she knew that no matter whether the queen mother or the emperor, the only one she could rely on was herself.
"The Queen Mother," Zhang Jingshu said, "after going through so many things, I have no other extravagance. I just want to stay in the palace safely."
"Oh, how can it be so easy to find stability? The Zhang family has both prospered and suffered losses. I told you before, but you refused to believe that it has ended up where it is now." The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Jingshu, "Fortunately, we can
Regain your authority. I am getting older and cannot protect you all the time. You should also think more about it."
Zhang Jingshu nodded: "Jingshu has remembered all the teachings of the empress." She will never make the same mistakes again.
Letting the Queen Mother protect her is worse than taking time to protect herself. That day is coming soon.
…
In the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The emperor read the battle report in his hand dozens of times, and the Tatars finally bowed to him. It was not enough now, it was just the beginning. He wanted the Tatars to know that if they acted rashly, they would face the Zhou Zunzun artillery.
He would not summon their envoys until the Tatars completely surrendered. He was very patient about this. He had endured it for so long. At this time, he would let King Wei's evil descendants live for a while longer. Song Chengxuan governed the southeast well.
, but he can take back Dongnan at any time. In the final analysis, Song Chengxuan is just his slave, no different from anyone else.
So what if Song Chengxuan is allowed to restore the title of King of Wei? He can only surrender at his feet.
The emperor looked at Feng Shun: "Draft a decree to Zhang Yuchi, asking him to refuse peace talks and fight another victorious battle before the end of the year."
Feng Shun responded and immediately stepped back quickly.
…
Changzhou, inside the Song Dynasty.
Xu Qinghuan hadn't heard Brother Chen crying for a long time. She felt very good in the first two days and could sleep peacefully. However, as time went by, she began to worry. The inner courtyard was so quiet, what on earth were they doing.
Xu Qinghuan stood up, and Yin Gui immediately came in to serve him.
"Has the wet nurse been here? Where has Brother Chen gone?" Xu Qinghuan looked at Yin Gui.
Yin Gui immediately said: "The master took my brother away, and then the prince also came."
What were the three of them doing together? Xu Qinghuan felt more and more unusual. With his brother's methods, everyone in the house had been in trouble for a long time.
Moreover, Brother Chen is also very naughty. He started trying to walk when he was less than one year old. He was running around in the garden at one and two months old. Could it be that Mr. Song used some means to restrain his brother and Brother Chen?
Already.
Forget it about her brother. If Brother Chen is too young and controlled too strictly...she feels distressed just thinking about it.
"Where are they?" Xu Qinghuan put on her clothes and looked into the yard.
"It's on the campus of the West Campus. I was afraid of disturbing my wife, so I went there."
Hearing Yin Gui's words, Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go over and take a look!" Anyway, he had already gotten up, so it was better to go and see what was going on, so as not to worry again.
On the school field of the West College, little Brother Chen stood there, staring at the center of the field without blinking, and no longer cared about eating the sweet and sour fruit in his hands.
"uncle……"
As soon as he uttered a single tone, Xu Qingan's whole body fell out and fell heavily to the ground. Then Brother Chen grinned slightly, with a somewhat painful expression on his face.
Xu Qingan was not convinced, stood up, dusted himself off and rushed into the school grounds again.
This time I fell out lying on my stomach.
Brother Chen wiped his nose, as if there was mud on his nose.
"one……"
The wet nurse heard the childish voice and was pleasantly surprised to find Brother Chen counting: "Brother, tell me again, what were you shouting before?"
Xu Qingan flew out again, and Brother Chen immediately pointed to it: "One..."
The wet nurse's eyes lit up, and she often used calculations in the house, and occasionally told her brother. After all, he was too young, and they didn't think about what he could learn, but today he said it.
"Brother is right." The wet nurse looked towards the middle of the field again, now hoping that the prince would be kicked out again so that she could listen to Brother Chen's counting.
With the expectations of wet nurse and Brother Chen, Xu Qingan was beaten out again.
Xu Qingan now had no strength to stand up.
Song Chengxuan stepped forward and looked at Xu Qingan: "If you don't practice your fists and kicks carefully, how will you protect your life in the future?"
Brother Chen stared at his father carefully. He squeezed the fruit in his hand, moved his mouth twice, and then said: "Learn."
The sound is crisp and clear.
Xu Qing'an looked over and saw little Brother Chen standing there with a serious expression. Originally, he wanted Brother Chen to see his uncle's majesty, but the result was unsatisfactory.
"Come again." Xu Qing'an gritted his teeth and stood up. He felt that his brother-in-law's lower body was unstable. If he fell down ten or eight times, he could probably punch his brother-in-law.
Seeing his uncle rushing into the school grounds again, Brother Chen's eyes widened again.
In the following ten years, Brother Chen would see his uncle falling to the ground whenever he was riding and shooting, and if his fists and feet were slightly slack, he would see his uncle falling to the ground. He did not expect that the enlightenment of his plan would be completed on the school field at home.
