After the groom escaped from marriage, she married Jiangmen

Chapter 17
The news from the frontier was naturally sent to the palace first. Knowing that Cheng Junyue was worried about her younger brother, the crown prince told her specifically, and said: "This time Beidi went south and destroyed several cities in Suzhou. It was because the officials and generals in Suzhou didn't do anything. The defense is empty. Junze is led by soldiers transferred from the capital. At first, he was quite constrained by that side, but fortunately, he has gradually straightened it out. I heard that Beidi is ready to send people for peace talks."

"That's good!" Zheng nodded. As a mother, she also cared about the war in the north, but she was more concerned about the safety of her eldest son. She only mentioned peace talks, "Is it to discuss peace?"

"Beidi wants to negotiate a peace, but there are two factions in the court who are fighting for peace." Cheng Junyue's eyes darkened, "The main war thinks that Beidi's peace is only forced by the situation. If this is the case, Beidi will definitely make a comeback when he recovers, so Advocate to continue to march north, even if they can't destroy Beidi, they have to pay enough price. But Zhuhe thinks that the war wastes people and money. Let the people rest and recuperate."

The two voices had their own reasons, and naturally they were quarrelsome. Cheng Junyue sighed and said: "Last year, there was a severe drought in Hebei, and there were many people who supported the peace negotiation. I heard from His Highness that the Emperor is unwilling to negotiate a peace. The treasury is really empty right now."

After hearing the words, Mrs. Zheng understood that there was a severe drought last year, and a lot of relief had been spent on disaster relief. This year's food supply has not yet come down. It must be known that the war is not only about soldiers, but also about the strength of the country. Although Da Chu is in a dominant position right now , but if the war continues, it will inevitably drag down the country.Even in front of her daughter, Mrs. Zheng would not randomly comment on the gains and losses of the government, and only sighed: "So, can Junze return to Beijing?"

Da Chu regained the lost ground, but as far as Bei Di was concerned, it did not hurt the fundamentals. If there is a peace negotiation, he must have effective generals stationed in Suzhou.Zheng naturally hoped that the eldest son would be valued by the emperor, but after all Cheng Junze had just married, she still hoped that the eldest son could come back to the capital to reunite with his daughter-in-law and his wife, it would be better if he could embrace his grandson as soon as possible.

"His Highness said that the emperor intends to transfer Lord Chen Suchen to Suzhou to be the magistrate, so Junze will probably go to Beijing with Beidi envoys." In the end, even if he agreed to negotiate a peace, the emperor still had doubts about Beidi, so Cheng Junze went to Beijing together. Calling it protection is actually surveillance.

Lu Hanzhi didn't interrupt, but listening to Cheng Junyue and Zheng's conversation, Lu Hanzhi secretly thought about the deep meaning.Chen Su is currently the left servant of the Ministry of War. To be the magistrate of Suzhou is a drop in rank, but if you know a little bit about the court affairs, you will know that Chen Su has been an official for more than ten years and is known for his uprightness. Chen Su's going to be the magistrate of Suzhou was not to demote officials, but to clean up the official circles in Suzhou.

After talking about the business, Cheng Junyue asked about the affairs of the family, Mrs. Zheng talked a little bit, and it was getting late, Cheng Junyue helped Mrs. Zheng get up, and said: "Mother and younger siblings go first, I will take Brother Chun later over there."

Knowing that Cheng Junyue, as the Crown Princess, still has a lot of things to deal with, although there are still many things she wants to say to her, she nodded and said: "You are busy with your work, we will go there by ourselves."

Although the little emperor's grandson is of high status, he is a child after all, and all the clan and relatives are invited for the first-year banquet. Lu Hanzhi followed Mrs. Zheng to the place where the banquet was held, and Mrs. Wang, the wife of the prime minister's mansion, greeted her, "Sister Zheng, come and sit down!" , Is this from the Crown Princess? This is the nephew's daughter-in-law, she is really beautiful and intelligent, Junze is so lucky!"

"Xiu Ru came so early!" Mrs. Zheng nodded with a smile, and said to Lu Hanzhi, "This is Mrs. Wang from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Lu Hanzhi saluted and said hello, but he didn't take Wang's praise seriously. Hearing what Zheng said, he knew that Mrs. Wang was the mother of Concubine Yang of the Eastern Palace. Although she didn't know how the relationship between Concubine Yang and elder sister was, she kept smiling in front of others Politeness is enough.

"When Xueran gets married, our two families will be relatives. Why should Sister Zheng be so polite!" Mrs. Wang smiled, and then pointed to the girl sitting not far away, "Look at my fourth mother, she is already twelve years old. She is still so naughty, if she has three points of calmness with her nephew and daughter-in-law, I will be thankful."

Lu Hanzhi looked at Mrs. Wang's fingers, and saw several twelve or thirteen-year-old girls sitting there, seeming to be playing drums and passing flowers. One of them, who resembled Mrs. Wang, was holding a flower ball and laughing so that the flowers trembled. It was Yang Qian, Wang's youngest daughter.

"Little girl, it's better to be more lively." Zheng smiled and chatted with Wang about the children in the family.Lu Hanzhi was like most new daughter-in-laws, who sat and listened to the elders talking honestly, and occasionally answered a sentence, and at some point, there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl beside her.When one of Lu Han turned around and saw the other party, he was still in a daze. Just as he was about to stand up and salute, Princess Qingyun pulled Lu Hanzhi's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Cheng, I want to talk to you."

Mrs. Zheng was talking about the marriage between Cheng Junxu and Wang Xueran, when she heard this, she said: "You guys just go and play, you don't need to accompany us."

Lu Hanzhi is not familiar with Princess Qingyun, but she is the princess, she came to Lu Hanzhi, Lu Hanzhi couldn't refuse, so he nodded when he heard what Zheng said, and said, "Okay."

Princess Qingyun wanted to talk to Lu Hanzhi in private, so she led Lu Hanzhi out of the garden, found a gazebo in an open place, and asked the little maid to guard it, then pulled Lu Hanzhi to sit down.Lu Hanzhi was led out by Princess Qingyun, and he couldn't help guessing what Princess Qingyun wanted to say to her. Could it be that Princess Qingyun still admires Cheng Junze?It was only after thinking about Cheng Junze's limited time in the capital, and the fact that Princess Qingyun had no ill intentions towards her, that he gave up this idea.

Princess Qingyun's daughter is King Jing's daughter, and King Jing is the younger brother of Emperor Taiping. Lu Hanzhi didn't have any friendship with Princess Qingyun before, so he didn't know what to say to her at the moment. He just heard her say: "Mrs. Can I call you Sister Lu?"

Princess Qingyun has a noble status, but she is gentle and even a little timid when talking to Lu Hanzhi. Lu Hanzhi doesn't know what her personality is, but when she heard her say that, he nodded and said, "Naturally."

Lu Hanzhi didn't refuse, Princess Qingyun felt less nervous when she thought of what she was going to ask, "Sister Lu, I have something to ask you, um, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
