Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 472
Without the interception of the Chu army, the group returned to the southwest border smoothly.

The uninjured soldiers were asked to take the wounded ones down for treatment, and Lu Xing and Xue Gang ordered the rest to rest.

After the soldiers left, the two came to the General's Mansion together, and reported the night attack to Su Qinghan, who had been awake all this time.

"Thank you for your hard work, but are you injured?" Looking at the two of them, Su Qinghan asked with concern. The two of them killed many people, so their bodies were covered with blood.

"Don't worry, general, the two of us are not injured, and our casualties are not serious." Lu Xing glanced at Xue Gang, saw him shaking his head, and then answered Su Qinghan's words.

"If you have time, you can make a list for me, and I will hand over the list to the emperor, and ask the emperor to appease their families."

People are dead, and there is only so much they can do.

"It's getting late, you have worked hard, go down and rest, I will arrange other people to do the inspection in the morning."

Seeing that it was almost dawn, Su Qinghan looked at Lu Xing and Xue Gang, and gave orders, the two of them responded, saluted, and retreated.

After Lu Xing and Xue Gang left, Su Qinghan came to the desk and wrote down the situation of tonight on the rice paper. After Lu Xing and Xue Gang sorted out the list, he would send someone to send the letter back to the capital together. .

three days later.

"My Majesty, now that the Qing Kingdom has withdrawn its troops and the victory at the northwest frontier is truly a joy in Xing'an, I suggest that a palace banquet be held to celebrate such a happy event."

In the morning, Xiao Peng opened his mouth and reported to Emperor Jing that as soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and echoed Xiao Peng's words.

Emperor Jing sat at the top, with a smile on his lips, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"What do you think?" Although a few ministers stood up, Emperor Jing did not respond in a hurry. He sat on a chair and glanced over everyone. It took a long time before he spoke.

"Reporting to the emperor, I think it is inappropriate. Although it is a great victory, the soldiers who won the battle have not yet returned. It is meaningless to celebrate now."

Shen Chengzhong has always been against Xiao Peng. Although his son won the battle, he hasn't returned yet, so there is no need to hold a palace banquet.

If the person has already returned, because of his son, it would be good to hold a celebration banquet.

"Master Shen, aren't you happy that General Shen won the battle for Xing'an? Although General Shen is not coming back now, he will be back sooner or later, and then there will be another palace banquet, won't it be enough?"

The ones who spoke were those who followed Xiao Peng. At this time, Xiao Peng would not say too much, so as not to be suspected.

"Although that's what I said, it costs money to hold a palace banquet. Now that the war is over, you should save it. A palace banquet really doesn't cost much money, but it can add up to a lot. Is it possible that you have to pay When the money comes out, will you hold a palace banquet for the emperor?"

After glaring at the minister who was speaking, Shen Chengzhong spoke again. What he said made the minister speechless.

Emperor Jing sat at the top and didn't speak again. Although the matter will be resolved in the end, in order to make Xiao Peng not suspicious, he still had to put on a show.

"Master Su, you should say something!" Turning to look at Su Zhiyuan, Shen Chengzhong spoke, motioning for him to express his opinion.

"Well, what does Su Qing think?" After hearing Shen Chengzhong's words, Emperor Jing looked at Su Zhiyuan and motioned him to share his opinion.

"Reporting to the emperor, I feel that it is not a bad idea to hold a palace banquet. After all, the Northwest Border Pass did not hurt a single soldier this time, and let the Qing Kingdom retreat. It is really worth celebrating."

Seeing Emperor Jing asking himself, Su Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, and then he answered that he knew everything about the northwest border.

Shen Chengzhong did not expect that Su Zhiyuan would agree, but thinking about the reasons he said, there is some truth to it.

"Su Qing said so, this palace banquet can be organized, how about it, let me think about it, and I will talk about my thoughts when I go to court tomorrow morning."

When Emperor Jing said this, all the officials immediately responded, and said everything that should be said. Emperor Jing ordered a few words, and then the morning court ended.

"Master Su, I didn't expect you to agree with Xiao Peng's words." After Emperor Jing left, Shen Chengzhong moved closer to Su Zhiyuan, with some dissatisfaction in his words.

"It's not that I agree with Mr. Xiao's words. I just think that this suggestion is good. If it's useless, I won't say anything more."

Walking out together with Shen Chengzhong, Su Zhiyuan smiled and explained to Shen Chengzhong.

"It's true. After your explanation just now, I think it's pretty good. There should be a palace banquet."

Nodding their heads, the two left together. Xiao Peng stood in the hall, looking at the backs of the two, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Walking out of the apse, Emperor Jing went straight back to Longgan Palace, where Su Qingyan leaned on the couch to read as usual.

Now everything about her is planned by time. When it is time to eat, she will eat, when it is time to take a walk, she will go for a walk, and when it is time to rest, she will also rest obediently.

Seeing Emperor Jing walking in from outside the hall, Su Qingyan put down the book in her hand, sat up straight with a smile.

"Ah Qing, it's only been a few days, you need to pay more attention, but you must have someone check everything you touch before using it."

What Emperor Jing was most worried about was that Xiao Peng sent people to attack Ah Qing and the children, and the secret guards were sent out to secretly protect the safety of Su Qingyan and the children.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will pay attention." Emperor Jing had instructed her before, and Su Qingyan naturally took it to heart, "Is there anyone protecting the Eldest Prince, Princess An, and the Second Prince?"

"Well, there are people protecting them, don't worry." Seeing that Su Qingyan was thinking about his other children, Emperor Jing couldn't help but smile.

If it were someone else, they would only think about themselves, and even hoped that the rest of the people would be hurt, but Ah Qing was different, she would not think so.

"That's good. Concubine Rong, have you found a suitable female teacher?" Nodding her head, Su Qingyan asked again.

"Not yet, let's look for it slowly, there is still a while." Because of the Xiao family's affairs, Emperor Jing couldn't care less about finding a female teacher for Princess An these days.

"Speaking of which, when my mother came last time, my concubine said something related to the female teacher. There seems to be a candidate for my mother. When I find a chance, I will go to Yichun Palace and ask Concubine Rong what she thinks. .”

After all, she was the one who looked for it, and Su Qingyan was worried that Concubine Rong would not accept it, so it would not be too late to ask her questions before making plans.

"That's hard work for you." Responding with a smile, Emperor Jing said a few words to Su Qingyan before leaving Longgan Palace. What he has to do now is to make more detailed arrangements...
