Chapter 550: Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army (2)
"Your Majesty, your majesty is watching Miss Wen Zhen making sweet-scented osmanthus sauce in the small garden behind." Sun Defu stepped forward and replied.

"Yeah. Let's all back down." Yun Shuo nodded, and walked across the corridor to the back.

In the small garden at the back, Pingguoer asked someone to set up a bamboo imperial concubine couch under the sun. On the couch were laid an autumn-scented brocade mattress and stone-blue bullet-ink fringed pillows. Han Qian was leaning comfortably on the couch, looking at Wen Zhenyong in front of her. More than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials pickled osmanthus fragrans freshly picked in the morning.

"Put such a big battle, what delicious food can you get?" Yun Shuo walked up to him leisurely and asked with a smile.

Everyone hurriedly got up to salute, Han Qian leaned over and lay down, but was held down by Yun Shuo: "Don't get up, lean on." As he said that, Yun Shuo looked at the dozen or so small plates on the small square table, and asked with a smile: " What are you doing? Aren't these all medicinal materials?"

"Wen Zhen is making sweet-scented osmanthus sauce. These are all ingredients."

"It's so troublesome to pickle sweet-scented osmanthus sauce?" Yun Shuo smiled and shook his head.

"If it tastes good, it will be more troublesome." Yan Wenzhen hurriedly bowed and replied, "The servant figured that after the sweet-scented osmanthus sauce was marinated, the queen's empress would just give birth, so she had to remake the recipe, and the dim sum made with this would be good for her tonic .”

"You really have intentions, no wonder the queen values ​​you so much." Yun Shuo sat down beside Han Qian with a smile, stretched out his hand to crush a little sweet-scented osmanthus, sniffed the lingering fragrance on his fingertips, and said with a smile, "What is your current grade? "

Yan Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, then understood what the emperor meant, and hurriedly leaned back and said, "Return to Your Majesty, this servant has been favored by His Majesty and the Empress, and now she is from the third rank."

"Oh." Yun Shuo nodded, and said with a light smile, "You have served the queen for so long, and you deserve a lot of credit. Especially now that the queen is pregnant, all the daily food and baits are in your hands. It’s really hard work, I will promote you as the second rank today. In addition, I will reward 50 taels of gold, 300 taels of silver, and [-] bolts of silk and satin of various colors. Go down and find the chief treasury to receive the reward.”

"My servant thanked Your Majesty for your kindness." Yan Wenzhen hurriedly kowtowed respectfully.

Han Qian leaned on the couch and looked at Yan Wenzhen, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I said that I would reward you well, but today His Majesty has spoken. You go, I want something light for dinner."

"Yes, the servant will leave." Yan Wenzhen kowtowed again, and then retreated.

Han Qian looked at Pingguo'er again, and said with a smile, "It's time for Little Shitou to be nursed, and Tianxin is also hungry, so you can take the two of them down to nurse them. I don't need anyone to take care of me here."

"Yes. The servant will leave." Pingguoer led everyone back together, and took away Yan Wenzhen's dozens of plates of herbs and a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Yun Shuo put his hands on Han Qian's slightly raised belly, and asked in a low voice, "Is the child good?"

Han Qian lowered her head and put her hand on Yun Shuo's, and said with a light smile, "It's okay. I haven't made any fuss right now."

"That's good. These two little guys are different from Tianxin. They seem to like to toss their queen mother." Yun Shuo gritted his teeth helplessly, pretending to be fierce, "When they are born in the future, I will teach them a lesson. them."

"Look at Your Majesty, you're actually angry with an unborn child?" Han Qian smiled and shook his head.

Yun Shuo sighed, held Han Qian's hand, and said in a low voice, "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Anyway, I never make you laugh when I tell jokes. I'm serious."

"What's the serious matter?" Looking at Yun Shuo's expression, Han Qian knew that he was in a difficult situation.

"I'm going to go out of Beijing in a few days, and I'll be back in about a month and a half. Go to Chengzhou, but you're pregnant and can't walk that far, so I can't take you with me." Yun Shuo held Han Qian's hand hand, and sighed softly, "It really means that you and Tianxin will stay in the palace, leaving Qianye behind to protect you. Then bring your third brother, third sister-in-law, and Han Zheng into the palace to accompany you. But if If you don't like it, you can also go to the Hou Mansion and live with your brothers for a while, how about it?"

After hearing this, Han Qian was silent for a while, and then said, "I am the queen, how could I stay in the Hou's mansion for so long. Besides, His Majesty is not in the palace, so I should stay in the palace to look after the house. Whose house are you looking at?" When the man walks ahead, the woman immediately packs her bags and returns to her natal family?"

Yun Shuo laughed immediately after hearing this: "Okay, okay! The men go out to do business, and the women stay and watch the house."

"However, Qianye can't stay, he has to stay by your side." Han Qian said.

Yun Shuo shook his head and said: "I have Chihiro by my side, and I have to bring a group of generals and royal children with me. I have the Eagle Guard, the Jinlin Guard, and the Dragon Guard. There is no more Qianye, no more, less Qianye There are quite a few of them. And you stay in the palace without someone who is familiar with the inside and outside of the palace to guard you, how can I rest assured?"

"Your Majesty is in the palace, people like Qianye Qianxun are guarding the palace day and night, even if they enter the harem, it's fine. If your majesty is not in the palace, it will be difficult for Qianye and those dragon guards to enter the harem. I don't want to hear some People gossip."

Yun Shuo frowned and said, "Xiao Man and those internal guards are not enough. If there are not enough people to guard the palace, I would rather let the King of Uighur and King of Northern Mongolia come to the imperial capital to have an audience."

Han Qian said with a smile: "Even if His Majesty asks them to come to the imperial capital for an audience, this Qiushou should go to Xishan. Moreover, the harem has to hold a state banquet, which makes it tiring to think about it. Don't ask them to come to the imperial capital, they still want to raise them with peace of mind." What about the fetus?"

"Then what should I do? I don't feel at ease if you're like this!" Yun Shuo leaned against Han Qian anxiously, his fingers gently twisting the emerald ring on her finger.

Han Qian frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "There is someone who just happens to enter the palace to protect me, and can also reassure His Majesty."

"Who?" Yun Shuo looked up and asked.

"The wife of the general Hussar, the princess of Ninghou Mansion." Han Qian smiled lightly.

"Ha!" Yun Shuo suddenly realized, and nodded again and again, "That's right! Princess Wei is indeed a good candidate."

Han Qian smiled and said, "Which one is stronger, Princess Wei or General Qianye?"

Yun Shuo pondered and said: "It's really hard to say. Princess Wei's martial arts is learned from her father, Lord Ning. It is said that when she was a child, she hung around in the Eagle Guard all day long, fisting whoever she caught. But gathering the heads of hundreds of families; if it is about deploying troops, she has repeatedly made great achievements in the southwest, and her fighting ability is more than ten times that of Qianye's."

Han Qian smiled and said, "So, Your Majesty transferred her into the palace to protect me, so you can go to Chengzhou with peace of mind?"

"It's just that this person is hard to control! Her fiery temper is directly proportional to her ability." Yun Shuo sighed, shook his head and said, "Only General Shao can subdue this heroine."

Han Qian smiled and said, "Hey, why is Your Majesty still not able to dispatch a female general?"

"There are military orders for marching and fighting, but let her come to the palace as a guard... I am worried that if she is in a bad mood, and then something happens to my harem, then she will not listen to you." What the queen said, the queen will get angry and say something good or bad."
