The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

While Yue Mingzhu was busy with her career, Xiao Jingyu was not idle either.

Originally, when the Holy Father urgently summoned him, he should have returned to Beijing immediately, but he was reluctant and stayed at Yue Mingzhu's house for one more day.

But he is not really stupid. He naturally knows that military and national affairs must not be delayed. Not to mention whether his father will blame him, even he himself cannot pass that threshold.

So I could only hurry up and not dare to stop for a moment on the road.

But even if people can hold on, horses can't. They changed horses several times at the inn along the way, and finally arrived in the capital after galloping for a day and night.

It was still dark when we arrived in the capital, and the palace had not yet opened its doors, but the imperial army guarding the city knew that the Holy Emperor was waiting for King Huai, and they had promised him in advance that they would let him go immediately no matter when King Huai came back.

King Huai didn't say much. After entering the palace, although he could no longer ride a horse, he still galloped all the way and quickly headed towards the imperial study.

Based on his understanding of his father, he was definitely not in the mood to visit the concubines in the harem at this time, so he probably just rested in the imperial study.

Sure enough, I saw the emperor's personal eunuch, Eunuch Wang, at the door of the royal study.

Wang Gonggong was quite surprised to see King Huai entering the palace at this hour. He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Hey, my lord, why did you enter the palace at this hour? You didn't travel overnight, did you? The weather has turned cold now. , you can’t catch a cold.”

After saying that, the prince touched Xiao Jingyu's clothes and found that they were damp. Needless to say, they must have been wet by dew. He immediately ordered the young eunuch: "Quickly, serve the prince and change into clean clothes first, otherwise If cold air enters the body, it will make you sick."

King Huai didn't want to go, but the prince and his father-in-law forced him to go, so he had to go. Anyway, it wouldn't take long to change clothes.

He knew that the prince and his father-in-law had treated him well since he was a child.

When he was little, he would be naughty and get his clothes dirty or his hands dirty, and the prince would immediately ask him to change them, just like an old grandma.

After Xiao Jingyu changed his clothes, Wang Gonggong said that the emperor had also gotten up at this moment and was waiting for him in the royal study.

In recent days, the emperor was so busy that he didn't go to bed until midnight and got up before dawn, so he only rested for two hours.

The emperor is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people.

When King Huai heard that his father was waiting for him, he couldn't wait to push the door open and enter.

He hasn't seen his father these days, and he misses him too.

The imperial study room was brightly lit, as if the candlelight had not been extinguished all night long. He found that his father was getting old, and there was a lingering fatigue in his whole body. Even if he had just woken up, he still looked tired.

His eyes suddenly turned sour, and he shouted with a choked voice: "Father!" Then he stepped forward and hugged the emperor, refusing to let go, just like a child who had not grown up.

The emperor felt a little sad because of him. After not seeing each other for a few days, Yu'er seemed to have grown up. Although there was a circle of green stubble around her lips, she must have traveled all night, but she seemed to be in good spirits. .

He touched Xiao Jingyu's head lovingly and said, "You came back all night? There is no need to be in such a hurry. If your mother and concubine find out, she will be heartbroken to death."

Mainly because he felt distressed too.

Xiao Jingyu felt his eyes became even more sore. His father had worked so hard and was still worried about him traveling all night. Isn't he too unfilial? He has only known about eating, drinking and having fun since he was a child, and has never shared anything for his father.

The image of his father in his heart has always been majestic and tall, like an insurmountable mountain and an indestructible rock. However, his father is now old, and his eyes are full of red bloodshot eyes, which makes him feel heartbroken.

He said: "Father, I'm fine. Just take a rest when you're tired. It's not okay to stay up like this all the time."

The emperor was a little relieved that Yu'er had grown up and knew that he felt sorry for him. Yu'er had been so benevolent and filial since he was a child.

He asked Xiao Jingyu to sit on the chair side by side with him, and asked: "Yu'er, do you blame your father for letting you go to the battlefield? Are you afraid?"

Xiao Jingyu looked at the emperor with admiration on his face and said solemnly: "Father, my son does not blame you. My son has grown up. He should share your worries and do his part for Da Qian. My son only hopes that after the expedition , you and your concubine can take good care of yourselves."

The emperor was even more pleased and said: "I will go to court later. If someone says something unpleasant, you don't have to pay attention to it. I will protect you. I went to the battlefield and listened to the opinions of the veterans. Don't act recklessly." Of course, you are my prince, and you cannot let those people take hold of you. You must not be lenient when it is time to establish your authority. The majesty of the Heavenly Family must not be offended. Of course, the most important thing is that you must protect yourself at all times. , don’t be afraid of anything when your father is here, if anything happens, my father will take care of you."

He knew that his Yu'er was not the kind of person who was really willful and mischievous. She was kind-natured, pure and filial, and a sweet-tempered person.

Xiao Jingyu responded one by one and swore in his heart that he would not disappoint his father or Yue Mingzhu this time.

It was almost time to go to the morning court. The prince brought the bird's nest. The father and son drank some bird's nest and went to the court.

At this time, except for the father and son, everyone in the court had arrived.

Seeing King Huai and the Emperor appear together, the princes were so jealous that they almost broke their teeth.

The kind of intimacy and love that the father treated King Huai was unparalleled by any of them.

Looking at the relaxed look on the father's face, it is the first time in these days that he is like this. Isn't he just a prince with a brain disease? He is really a treasure!

No matter how much jealousy and dissatisfaction there is in my heart, I can only suppress it in my heart and shout "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor" together with the courtiers.

Xiao Jingyu is back. The emperor is in a good mood today. Seeing that all the courtiers are pleased with him, he says: "Everyone loves you!"

Usually it is the prince and his father-in-law who say, "If you have a foundation, you will start a memorial, but if you don't have a foundation, you will withdraw from the court." But today is different.

The emperor said directly: "After receiving my urgent edict, King Huai rushed all night. He didn't even bother to drink a few sips of water. He was worried about the war ahead. I am lucky to have such an emperor. King Huai is loyal and patriotic. I believe I will do my best in this expedition, and all my dear friends must follow King Huai's example. Although he has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, he has never been arrogant or extravagant, nor is he a dandy like that. At critical moments, he knows how to share my worries and serve the country."

All the ministers echoed: "King Huai is righteous! Daqian is lucky to have King Huai, and it is a blessing to the Holy One to have such a prince!"

The princes were smiling and saying compliments. They looked like brothers and sisters, but in their hearts they were full of curses.

The eldest prince thought, huh, he was the one who recommended the fourth son to go. If he didn't help, it was still unclear whether the fourth son could go. If he went, he didn't know whether he would be able to come back. He had not made any achievements yet. His father would now praise him. Yes, it’s so biased!

The other princes felt aggrieved. They also wanted to go on an expedition. They also wanted to be loyal to the country, but their father refused. How could the fourth prince be so good? After running out of the capital for such a long time, he must have urgently issued an edict from the emperor. We have to rush back immediately. None of them would dare to delay. What's there to boast about? In the eyes of the father, the fourth child can even poop better than them!
