What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 255

"The kindness of the emperor's brother is appreciated, the princess really doesn't have to..."

"no!"

The emperor refused, and decided for him: "If you refuse to choose, then I will choose for you, and then you must treat others well."

Xie Chenao scratched his head uncomfortably, lowered his face, and muttered for a while before saying anything.

"Let's discuss the battle on the front line. They should have arrived, and the fight is about the same. They shouldn't need the support of my disciples."

Xie Chenyu patted the thick pile of memorials beside his hands, beat his back after sitting for a long time, and rarely smiled wryly.

"I just finished processing, don't rush"

"Fighted well, especially Zheng Yuxiao. I can't tell that that kid is still a fierce general. He single-handedly attacked the enemy's camp and captured their leader alive. He got a head start."

"When he comes back, I will reward him well"

"It just so happens that the fourth sister can rest assured"

Xie Chenyu couldn't help rubbing his fists, even Duke Shan looked up at him a few times.

"In the past few years, I have been low-key and low-key, and I have raised such a good son"

Xie Chenao was a little uncomfortable.

Although he doesn't gossip or inquire about gossip, he still knows what he should know, and his expression is uncomfortable.

"Didn't the emperor feel awkward?"

"What do you mean?" Xie Chenyu didn't understand for a moment.

Xie Chenao said directly that the empress almost married into the Shanguo Duke's mansion, but the one on the battlefield was your former rival in love.

Xie Chenyu's face turned down: "Don't talk nonsense, that's obviously my brother-in-law."

Xie Chenao's eyes straightened.

To be honest, this is the first time he has heard that the emperor cares about someone.

In the past, they were all monarchs and ministers, but now they are all directly called brother-in-law.

"It seems that the emperor really appreciates Prince Zheng."

Xie Chenyu laughed heartily, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Later, you will go to the Duke of Shanguo's mansion and send the good news for me first. Concubine Zheng has made a great contribution. I will reward them for their meritorious service when they come back victorious." "

"Yes"

-

After sending Xie Chenao away, Xie Chenyu went to Jiaofang Palace.

The queen is sorting out the list of girls to be drafted. Since the two broke up unhappy last time, the two have not seen each other for several days.

Xie Chenyu came here precisely because of the palace selection.

"I was wrong last time, the queen don't take it to heart"

"You arrange the selection of the palace. I will choose one by one. If there are as many people as there are, there will be more. Is it enough for me to spare two days to visit the queen?"

The queen was flattered and looked at Xie Chenyu with purring eyes.

"Enough...enough"

"That's good"

"There is one more thing to ask the queen to prepare. The army is expected to return triumphantly at the end of August. They have won a big victory. At that time, there will be a celebration banquet and a reception banquet. Queen Lao will prepare it."

"This is what concubines should do"

The queen's face was like a mirror, but her heart was ashes and cold.

Victory?Do you still want to celebrate and take the wind and wash away the dust?Wouldn't the Zheng's family, the Duke of Shan, be raised to a higher level, wouldn't the fourth princess be taller again?

She firmly grasped the corner of her clothes with both hands: no, absolutely not.

With a smile on his face: "Don't worry, the emperor, the concubine will definitely arrange it properly."

-

The news of the victory of the Dasheng Dynasty flew from outside the Great Wall to the capital as if it had grown wings, and then spread to the southern land.

The common people talked a lot, and everyone was in high spirits. Even the small vendors on the street had better business than usual.

They whispered to each other about how brave General Xiao Zheng was, how he beat the foreign countries in northern Xinjiang to pieces, and by the way, they led troops to heighten and reinforce the city gate tower, so that the enemy had no chance to take advantage of it.

"With such courage at such a young age, it can be said that the future is boundless."

"The storyteller in Jinlou Theater has already started to say that it's out, are you all going to see it? I'm going."

"I want to go too, tsk tsk tsk, it's really an eye-opener, we rarely have such a hero in Dasheng Dynasty"

"Yes, the blessing of the common people, the blessing of the country"

-

The rumor spread to the palace, the queen knew it, and of course Dowager Qing also knew it.

She even sent a message to the queen, saying don't be afraid, the good news that belongs to us may come soon.

In the side hall of the Longevity Palace, Concubine Qing gritted her teeth at her son's portrait.

"Son, wait a little longer, mother"

"Don't be afraid, my mother will come to you soon after finishing this trivial matter"

"Mother will never let those who harmed you get away with it. They eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Our mother and child are separated by yin and yang. Why?"

Days passed, and the army returned to the court earlier than expected.

If all goes well, they can even catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the main courtyard of Duke Shanguo's mansion, Xie Jingzhi greeted his grandmother with a smile and a pair of children.

"Mother, don't worry, Yu Xiao will definitely bring him back."

"At that time, let's travel together and go to the warmer places in the south. When it's hot in summer, we'll go north again."

Mrs. Shan Guo's wife is not in good health anymore, holding Xie Jingzhi's hand with tears in her eyes.

"Yu Xiao has you as a good daughter-in-law, even if my wife dies, I can rest assured."

"Although you are the princess, you have never put on airs. You only think of yourself as a junior. You care for us and take care of us. You are more than ten times stronger than your son."

"Son, like your third sister, you are a beautiful daughter-in-law in the capital"

Xie Jingzhi shook her head with tears in her eyes: "I'm not, but my third sister is"

While chatting gossip, suddenly there was a servant in the front yard rushing to report.

Mrs. Shan Guogong took a closer look, and found that it was a few young servants who were good at martial arts who followed Zheng Yuxiao to the battlefield.

She hurriedly called the boy in and asked what was the matter and why she came back early.

The boy knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Old lady, Your Royal Highness, the son-in-law was injured and poisoned, and his life was in danger. The doctors in the army were helpless, so I had to sneak back to report to see if I could get some medicinal materials first, and I will go to the palace to report to the emperor later."

The old lady Shan Guogong fainted immediately.

Xie Jingzhi's eyes also went dark, and his body swayed a few times.

"What do you mean, what is injury and poisoning? Didn't you make a triumphant victory?"

"Are you talking nonsense?"

The boy cried and said with a sad face: "How dare you talk nonsense, the son of the world has established his first skills, but he was injured by an arrow on his leg. The military doctor had bandaged it, and the wound healed quickly."

"Then, for some reason, the wound suddenly deteriorated, and now there are abscesses, and the prince is also high fever, you quickly get some medicinal herbs for clearing away heat and detoxification, by the way, a few hundred-year-old ginseng is needed, it all depends on this." fate

Centuries-old ginseng is not easy to find, and those that are 50 to [-] years old in the market are already the best.

The old lady of Shan Guogong still gritted her teeth: "Look for him, no matter how many thousand taels of silver he has, as long as he can find it, he will buy it even if he loses everything."

"I don't want anything, I just want my son to be well"

Xie Jingzhi spoke suddenly.

"There are three plants in my dowry, which were saved by my mother for a long time, and they were all given to me."

After the things were packed, they first sent another person to drive a carriage to deliver the things, and then sent the boy into the palace.

It wasn't until late at night that everything was arranged properly.

At this moment, Xie Jingzhi was lying on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep, her face was covered with tears when she touched it.

Wet and dry, dry and wet.
