Concubine, she rises step by step

Chapter 176 Defend the Country

In the Zhengxin Hall, Huo Jiting stood quietly and waited with fear and caution.

As soon as Huo Jiheng walked into the hall, Huo Jiting knelt down and bowed his head.

Apart from his love of playing, playing cards, and eating, drinking, and having fun, this younger brother has almost no shortcomings. The reason why Huo Jiheng has not been on guard against him for so many years in power is because he knows his younger brother too well. No matter how willful he is, he has no objection to Daikin. There was no disrespect to the emperor's brother or involvement in the imperial power. It was all because of his interest in the military camp. But when the late emperor passed away, he once taught Huo Jiheng that if there is no one available, don't let your youngest son take over the military power. No. The late emperor didn't trust his youngest son because he didn't trust his queen. He knew clearly that the queen favored his youngest son. If he allowed his youngest son to take over the military power again, it would not be impossible for him to one day encourage his youngest son to overthrow Huo Jiheng and listen to the government from behind the curtain.

After the death of the late emperor, only Huo Jiheng knew that Huo Jiheng had not been loved by his mother since he was a child. In order to gain the approval of the Queen Mother, he would never disobey the Queen Mother in small matters. Huo Jiheng also tried to deal with his younger brother. Let him contact and lead the troops. Although the scale is small, it can make the younger brother happy for a long time. If the younger brother is happy, the queen mother will be happy, and Huo Jiheng can feel a little comfort in his heart.

As for the Queen Mother, she always said that Huo Jiheng was cold-blooded, because she felt that he was really harsh on all aspects of his younger brother. If someone reported that Prince Yu's palace had misbehaved, Huo Jiheng would be the first to step forward and investigate his younger brother. For this reason, the ministers privately said that the Emperor Jealous, but Huo Jiheng has never explained that the reason why he is like this is because he is afraid that his younger brother will be a bad learner. The deeper reason is that he really does not want to let the brotherly love only stay in this generation because of the imperial power. He wants his younger brother to learn from it. Remember to abide by the law in his bones, so that the glory of Prince Yu's palace can continue. If he really wants to reuse Prince Yu's heirs, he will have no scruples.

Now, seeing his brother being so cautious, Huo Jiheng couldn't bear to say, "Did you take the cane?"

Huo Jiting was stunned.

Immediately, he realized that the emperor brother was joking with him, and his face looked as ugly as crying and laughing: "Brother Huang..."

"You, you are standing on a thorn bush in the middle of the night to plead guilty. If the people see it, you can't point it at my nose and say that I can't tolerate you!" Although Huo Jiheng's words were serious, his tone was half reproach and half endearment.

Huo Jiting's face turned red, "Zehong is spoiled by my younger brother. He doesn't say anything big or small, so I'm afraid it will make my eldest brother think too much. My younger brother has already taught Zehong a lesson at home. In the future, he will definitely not do it again." Things like this happen!”

Huo Jiheng said angrily, "They are all children. What's the fuss about? It's worth your time and effort to beat him."

Huo Jiting disagreed and said sternly: "They are lucky enough to be born in the royal family. They must lead by example when doing things. They cannot become playboys. They can't control them at such a young age. How can they do it when they grow up? They can still be disciplined by the left and right. At your age, you just need to control your temper."

Hearing these words, Huo Jiheng couldn't help but nod, "Discipline belongs to discipline, but we can't go too far. I still hope that these two brothers can help me!"

As soon as these words came out, Huo Jiting's eyes lit up, and his face suddenly looked better. He scratched his head and said, "The two children are used to following my brother, so I'm afraid it will give the emperor a headache."

Huo Jiheng said in a relaxed tone, "Just in time to enter the palace, I will keep them tight!"

The joke made both men breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Li Qing instructed the eunuch to bring a jar of old wine.

Seeing this, Huo Jiheng pointed at the wine and said, "Just put it here!"

Huo Jiting was startled, "This wine..."

Huo Jiheng patted the soil on the wine jar and said meaningfully: "Isn't this the wine we buried under the South Pavilion when we were children? At that time, I also said that I would wait until 20 years later to have a good drink with you."

Perhaps he was moved by the emperor's words, perhaps he felt that brotherhood was precious, and Huo Jiting, a grown man, actually had red eyes.

"What? Are you moved by your brother?" Huo Jiheng teased him.

Huo Jiting quickly wiped away his tears, calmed down, picked up the wine jar, and poured wine for Huo Jiheng respectfully, "Brother, it was Jiting who was ignorant in the past. Today, Jiting apologizes to you!"

Huo Jiheng looked at the clear and sweet wine bowl, and said to Huo Jiting with sincerity: "I only have you as my brother, and I also hope that I will have you as my brother in this life. Over the years, I have been stricter with you than anyone else, just because I hope that our Brotherhood can last forever..." Huo Jiting choked up and glanced at Huo Jiheng, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp!

"My brother also hopes to follow the emperor in this life!" Huo Jiting said solemnly.

That night, Huo Jiheng talked a lot to his brother. It seemed that he had said everything he had not said for so many years. Huo Jiheng also set a bottom line for himself. This was the first time he said this, and it was also the last time. If he talked too much, he would lose his words. If it is valuable and affectionate, it will no longer seem precious. I hope my brother can understand his helplessness in weighing the throne and his siblings...

When I woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Waking up with a hangover, especially with an uncomfortable tightness in the throat.

Before he could say anything, Shenyi brought the hangover soup over to him and said, "Your Majesty, please have a bowl of hangover soup first."

Huo Jiheng pushed himself up and stood up, "Why are you here?"

Li Qing said from the side: "I forgive you for talking too much. Last night, Your Majesty kept calling Concubine Sheng's name. I couldn't help it, so I went to invite Concubine Sheng over. Concubine Sheng stayed with you all night."

Huo Jiheng said emotionally: "Thank you for your hard work."

"My concubines have no hard work. They try their best to protect everyone. The emperor really works hard." Sheng Yi said sincerely.

Throughout the whole process, Kindness did not mention the word "tired", but asked gently: "Are you feeling better now?"

Huo Jiheng nodded, pointed to his temple, and murmured: "There is still some discomfort here."

Sheng Yi rubbed Huo Jiheng's temples in a tacit understanding, "You, when you drink again, eat something. Drinking on an empty stomach like this will hurt your stomach."

Huo Jiheng said in a low voice: "Yes, I remember."

"Also, when you drink, you can't blow cold wind. Yesterday, I came over and your heart was so cold. What if you catch a cold?" Sheng Yi really felt that Huo Jiheng was the only one who cares about her. Don't cherish it.

Huo Jiheng still closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Yes, I remember."

Next to him, Li Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. If the other empress had been nagging her, the emperor would have kicked her out long ago.

"Is my concubine very noisy?" Sheng Yi suddenly asked.

Huo Jiheng smiled softly, "You still know?"

Just when the goodwill was about to show up, Huo Jiheng said again: "However, it's hard to buy my love for a thousand dollars."

Sheng Yi raised her face arrogantly, "That's not true. Ordinary people, I don't even bother to tell him..."

Deep down in her heart, she seemed to have forgotten that she did not belong to this era, and this feeling slowly penetrated every nerve of Shenyi. The promotion and salary increase that had been deeply ingrained in her heart seemed to gradually fade away, and what she wanted more in her heart was Help your husband protect this country...
