Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Knowing that Chang'en had already entered the palace and Chu Ran was being taken care of by Wu Mi, Chen Mo left Chu Ran's bedroom and asked someone to summon Chang'en to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I am Chang'en." Chang'en walked in slowly, and after looking at Chen Mo, he immediately lowered his head and bowed.

"No need to be polite, come and take a seat." Chen Mo raised his eyes and said with a smile, but at the moment he raised his eyes, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised.

Because there is a red number "1919" on Chang'en's forehead.

After Jia Yin brought in a royal chair and left the imperial study, Chen Mo asked, "Chang'en, have you entered the upper third rank?"

After Chang En sat down, he smiled and nodded, saying respectfully: "Thanks to your majesty's great blessing, I was fortunate enough to enter the realm of supernatural powers at the beginning of the year."

"Good good."

Chen Mo shouted happily three times, feeling very excited.

You know, there are only a handful of top-three-grade warriors in the Wei Dynasty. Every additional one means that the Wei Dynasty has added a new "weapon of mass destruction" that can be used continuously, which is also a significant enhancement to the overall strength of the army.

The most important thing is that Chang'en is in his prime and is not even 40 years old. Unlike Wu Yanqing and Xiao Jing, the older generation of martial artists in the supernatural realm who are over 70 years old, he can still serve the country for decades and is worthy of intensive training.

Especially as Chen Mo wants to hand over the throne to the crown prince as soon as possible, Chang En is the important team that Chen Mo leaves for the crown prince.

"Youzhou is a cold and harsh place with poor living conditions. In the past two years, I have asked you to guard the border. Do you have any complaints against me?" Chen Mo stood up and walked up to Chang En and said.

Chen Mo was standing, and Chang En certainly didn't dare to sit down anymore. He immediately stood up and said respectfully, "I am only grateful to Your Majesty. In the past, I followed the order of my master and entered the world without any sense of propriety. It was Your Majesty who took me in. Later, Your Majesty asked me to be filial to my master and to bury him. This gave me the opportunity.

Afterwards, even though I had not done anything, Your Majesty appointed me to an important position in the army. This is such a great favor. I am willing to repay Your Majesty with my life. I will go through fire and water for Your Majesty without hesitation and will not have any complaints.

Moreover, if it weren’t for the training I’ve received at the border over the past two years, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to enter the realm of supernatural powers.”

Chang'en bowed heavily towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo looked into Chang En's eyes and could see that he had grown a lot in the past two years. If it were the Chang En two years ago, he would definitely not have been able to say these words. Moreover, his words were so emotional and meaningful that it gave people the feeling that what he said was the same as what he thought.

Chen Mo was very satisfied with Chang En's answer and said, "I am letting you return to Beijing this time because, firstly, you have worked hard guarding the border, so you should come back and have a good rest. Secondly, I intend to add some burdens to your shoulders, and I don't know if you can handle it, Chang En."

"As long as Your Majesty commands me, I am willing to be your vanguard." Chang En said.

"it is good."

Chen Mo reached out and patted Chang En on the shoulder, then said, "You have made great contributions in guarding the border. I plan to appoint you as the captain of the Shenyong Guard, and concurrently as the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, to coordinate the entire Shenyong Guard army."

Chang'en was shocked when he heard this. The Shenyong Guards were the most powerful army among all the armies, except for His Majesty's personal guards (Imperial Guards), and they also had the best equipment.

He has only been in the army for a short time, but he has been entrusted with such an important task. This shows how much Your Majesty values ​​him.

Moreover, he is the Minister of War and the second-in-command of the Ministry of War.

"Your Majesty, this."

"Didn't you say I'll do your bidding?"

Chen Mo seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say and interrupted Chang En directly.

"Your Majesty, the position of the Captain of the Central Guard of the Divine Brave Guard is held by General Cui. Your Majesty wants me to be promoted to the Captain of the Central Guard of the Divine Brave Guard. What about General Cui then?" Although Chang'en has changed a lot, his character is still very simple. He feels that he is somewhat sorry for Cui Shuang by doing this.

"I have other arrangements for General Cui, Chang'en, you don't need to worry." Chen Mo said.

In this case, Chang En accepted the order: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Mo took his hand off Chang En's shoulder, looked at Chang En and said, "Chang En, how old are you this year?"

"Your Majesty, I'm thirty-three." Chang En said.

"Thirty-three? You're not young anymore, but you haven't started a family yet. This won't do."

As he said this, Chen Mo turned around, put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he turned around and looked at Chang En, saying, "I plan to arrange a marriage for you. What do you think?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Chang En, who had a simple and honest face, blushed suddenly.

Warriors are naturally energetic, and Chang'en has lived in the mountains for twenty or thirty years, and has been suppressing his energy for twenty or thirty years. He joined the army and experienced the worldly life, which has made him even more energetic. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't miss women.

But for Chang'en, who had never experienced sexual intercourse, he felt a little embarrassed about what Chen Mo said. He hesitated for a long time and did not answer.

Seeing him like this, Chen Mo immediately smiled and said, "What's this? I'll make the decision for you. In a few days, I'll select some good girls for you to choose from."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chang'en's face flushed red, and he was very happy, even happier than if he had been promoted.

"I value you very much, and I hope you will not let me down." Chen Mo patted Chang'en's shoulder again.

Upon hearing this, Chang En immediately expressed his loyalty to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded and smiled, then took his hand back and talked about something else: "I remember you said at the beginning that you had a junior fellow apprentice named Huicheng. Do you still remember him?"

Chang'en nodded. He remembered talking about this, but he was confused as to why His Majesty told him this.

"Before in Songjiapo, when I was fighting against the coalition forces of King Chong, I captured an enemy general named Huicheng. After investigation, I found that he was the junior brother you mentioned to me." Chen Mo said.

Chang En was shocked and immediately expressed his opinion: "Although Hui Cheng and I are brothers in the same sect, he colluded with the rebels and took the wrong path. He deserves to die."

He thought Huicheng was dead. After all, Prince Chong and Prince Huai had already been labeled as rebels.

Huicheng, can you still live?

He felt that His Majesty asked him this because he wanted to know his opinion on the matter.

"He's not dead." Chen Mo said.

"Not dead?" Chang En was shocked again.

"At that time, I only destroyed his cultivation. After learning that he was your junior brother, I locked him up in prison. Now that you are back, I will leave him to you to deal with." Chen Mo left Huicheng's life and death to Chang'en.

This is Chen Mo's method of further winning over Chang En.

As for Huicheng, his cultivation was wasted, and Chen Mo didn't care whether he was dead or alive.

Chang En: “…”

Such a favor made him feel a little overwhelmed.

……

night.

In Chu Ran's bedroom.

The hall was warm and the flame in the stove was burning brightly. There was an incense burner shaped like a unicorn, and smoke was rising from it, covering up the faint smell of blood that permeated the hall.

Wu Mi would check Chu Ran's pulse every hour and keep a close eye on her condition.

After taking the pulse, Wu Mi wanted to instruct his subordinates to prepare a bowl of meat porridge for Chu Ran.

At this moment, Chu Ran, who was lying unconscious on the bed, had his eyelashes trembling slightly, and his pale lips moved, and from time to time, words burst out of his mouth: "Shui Shui."

Wu Mi leaned in close to hear these words, and quickly poured a glass of water for Chu Ran. He even placed the water in the cup in a boiling iron kettle to warm it up before feeding it to Chu Ran.

After drinking the water, Chu Ran slowly opened her eyes. Her pale face was filled with pain. When she saw Wu Mi, she said weakly, "Queen, why are you here?" "Sister Jingfei, you're awake." Wu Mi was delighted and quickly told Chu Ran not to move. She covered her with the quilt and said, "Sister Jingfei, you fainted due to heavy bleeding during childbirth. His Majesty asked me to take care of you. You're fine now. You need to rest well and don't move around."

"Heavy bleeding?"

Chu Ran's face turned even paler, and he looked around in panic, his lips trembling as he said, "Where's the child? Queen, where's my child? No... Is there something wrong with the child?"

Her eyes were red, and she propped herself up and tried to get out of bed.

Wu Mi quickly stopped them and said, "Sister Jingfei, don't move. The child is fine."

"What about the child?"

"Someone, bring the little princess here." In order to put Chu Ran at ease, Wu Mi asked someone to bring the baby girl over.

The baby girl was taken away by the midwife to be fed. After hearing the Queen's words, the female official waiting outside the palace immediately went over and brought the baby girl over.

Although Chu Ran had never seen the child she gave birth to, the moment she saw the baby girl, it was as if her blood was awakened, and Chu Ran knew at a glance that this was her child.

"Daughter, my daughter, come here and let me see her." Chu Ran raised his hand to hug her.

Wu Mi took it from the female official, and then placed it next to Chu Ran, saying: "Sister Jingfei, you are weak now, just watch it like this, so as not to drop the child."

Chu Ran nodded, his eyes were fixed on the baby girl, and he was fiddling with the baby girl's little face with his fingers.

The baby girl is asleep now.

Chu Ran did not dare to wake her up. After gently fiddling with her for a while, she asked Wu Mi softly, "Empress, can you tell me what happened after I fell into a coma?"

"Of course." Wu Mi said slowly.

Chu Ran was so frightened that she couldn't help sobbing: "Thank you, Queen, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the blessing to see my daughter."

Chu Ran doesn’t care much about men and women, because she knows that she can’t win no matter what.

"This is what I should do, and I have to thank Your Majesty for responding in a timely manner. Otherwise, it would have been too late by the time I arrived," said Wu Mi.

Chu Ran nodded and said, "But no matter what, I still want to thank the Queen."

"I'm glad that Sister Jingfei is okay." Wu Mi smiled and said, "It's so late, you must be hungry. I'll have someone get you something to eat."

"Excuse me, Queen."

Wu Mi had just finished giving instructions to his people.

A female official walked in quickly and said softly, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Jing, His Majesty has arrived."

Wu Mi and Chu Ran both had expressions of joy on their faces.

Wu Mi was about to get up to greet her when Chen Mo came in. Seeing Chu Ran wake up, he could not hide his joy in his voice: "Jing Fei, you are awake."

Chen Mo nodded to Wu Mi's gesture, then quickly walked to the couch and sat down. He held Chu Ran's slender hand and said distressedly, "How do you feel?"

"With the Empress taking care of me, I'm fine." Chu Ran looked at the baby girl and said, "Your Majesty, please give our daughter a name."

"Hmm," Chen Mo racked his brains and thought about it, and said, "How about calling her Huai'an? She has been through the gates of death, and I hope she can be safe and sound in the future."

"Huaian?" Chu Ran read it and said, "The meaning is good, but it sounds like a boy's name."

"It sounds like a boy's name." Chen Mo looked at Chu Ran's pale face and had no other ideas. He turned his gaze to Wu Mi, hoping that she could think of it with him.

As a result, Wu Mi really came up with a good name.

"How about Le'an? Le means happiness and joy, while An means peace and safety, and it also sounds like a girl's name." Wu Mi said with a smile.

"Le Le An." Chu Ran repeated it several times, his eyes lit up, and he was very satisfied. He said to Chen Mo: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Excellent."

"Le'an, Chen Le'an." Chu Ran looked at the baby girl with a big smile.

Maybe the sound of talking woke Chen Le'an up, and he started crying loudly after waking up.

Chu Ran was too weak to move, so Chen Mo and Wu Mi hurriedly took over and hugged him to comfort him.

After finally coaxing him to sleep, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. The hall was filled with tranquility and warmth.

……

a few days later.

Chen Mo selected a few girls from good families and had them brought to Chang'en for selection.

Chen Mo didn't expect that Chang En would eventually choose Zhang He's daughter Zhang Zhu.

Because of Dai Tu's incident, Zhang Zhu was more or less affected.

Although Chen Mo had promised to help Zhang He find a new husband.

However, any minister of any status in the capital, when they learned that Zhang Zhu and Dai Tu were engaged, even though Zhang Zhu was still a virgin, still looked down on her to some extent.

Chen Mo couldn't force them to do anything and designate one party to marry them.

In this way, even if they get married, they can't stay together until the end.

So Zhang Zhu's matter was delayed.

Chen Mo asked someone to bring Zhang Zhu and other good girls to Chang'en to meet, just as a test. Unexpectedly, Chang'en really took a liking to them.

Chen Mo found Chang'en and told him about Zhang Zhu's situation, saying that it was still not too late for him to change his mind, otherwise he would have no chance once things were settled.

Chang En hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "She is fine."

Chen Mo knew that Chang En really fell in love with Zhang Zhu.

This is a good thing for Chen Mo.

Because this means that Zhang Zhu’s problem has also been resolved.

Chen Mo also gave an explanation to Zhang He.

The son-in-law of a warrior in the supernatural realm is a thousand times better than the previous Dai Tu.

Chen Mo was very happy and planned to arrange the marriage for the two personally.

……

the other side.

Zhang He was very happy when he learned that Chang'en had taken a fancy to his daughter, and he was almost excited to death.

Not to mention Chang'en's own accomplishments, judging from His Majesty's appointment of Chang'en a few days ago, he is definitely a rising star.

The Zhang family has climbed up the "high branch". (End of this chapter)
