Red makeup against the world

Chapter 887 Laughter
Empress Dowager Xiao said with a smile: "Brother An just said that he was going to go to the battlefield to help Brother Prince. The Ai family was praising him for his ambition, and he knew how to kill the enemy at a young age."

Concubine Shi De heard it, and the Luopa in her hand was almost torn in half by her.Prince An is so young, what do you know!It wasn't that Concubine Fu Xian was cunning and taught him these words to please the Queen Mother.

Seeing the expressions of the two concubines, Empress Cao had no intention of quelling the strife between them.Turning to look at the young Prince An, he beckoned him to come.

Logically, Empress Cao is his aunt.It's just that she raised her own son and daughter by herself, and she put all her thoughts on the present prince, planning for him with all her might.

Now that the emperor's lifespan is limited, Prince An might be his last prince.

Such a young child is really not a threat to Empress Cao.So he was placed in Concubine Fu Xian's palace, and he was not seen often.

Prince An and her are not very familiar.

Seeing her calling at this time, Prince An glanced at Concubine Fu Xian.Seeing the concubine mother nodding at him, she jumped off the stool, walked up to Empress Cao arrogantly on her short legs.

"Meet the queen mother!" In his sonorous voice, there was a child's unique softness, which was extremely cute.

"An Ge'er has this ambition, and the queen mother will reward him!" Empress Cao hadn't dealt with such a young child for a long time, looking at him seemed to see the prince's childhood.

"What do you want?" Empress Cao asked, holding him half in her arms.

Prince An tilted his head and thought for a long time, then asked: "Whatever I want, can Queen Mother reward me?"

He spoke in a childlike manner, but Concubine Fu Xian was afraid that Empress Cao would be unhappy, so she hurriedly said: "That's natural, the empress and empress respect the world, what do you want?"

Empress Cao nodded with a smile. Concubine Fu Xian wanted to win over her relationship, and she had no intention of fighting against her.

"I don't want anything, I just want a younger brother who can play with me." Prince An's crisp and childish words echoed in the hall.

In today's palace, he is the youngest.There are only two concubine princesses on it, and it is impossible to find a playmate of the same age.For young children, it is really lonely.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was silent for a while.They all knew that his wish would never come true.

Thinking of Emperor Qinglong's current body, Empress Dowager Xiao even turned her head away, pressing the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"What's wrong?" Feeling this unusual silence, Prince An was a little scared, "Queen, did I say something wrong that made you unhappy?"

"No, no." Empress Cao quickly denied, comforting him.But it would be too powerless to fail to meet Prince An's request.

Princess Chunhe on the side couldn't bear it. Under the care of his mother and concubine, this half-brother was as proud as a proud little rooster, cute and tight.I really can't bear to see him being hit.

"Mother's Empress." Princess Chunhe suggested, "In two years' time, the emperor's younger brother should also be enlightened. Why don't you choose a few companions to enter the palace and study together."

this is a good idea.In the former dynasty, the descendants of the ministers in the court were all proud to be able to enter the palace to study with them.In this way, the prince and the ministers can deepen their understanding, and they will cooperate more tacitly in the future.

It's just that since the founding of the Gaomang Dynasty, there have only been two generations.Emperor Qinglong was the prince who accompanied the late emperor to conquer the country. The children born to Empress Cao also grew up in the hidden mansion, and this practice was not formed in the palace.

Prince An's future is almost set. When he becomes an adult, the prince will already be enthroned as emperor, so he only needs to be a rich prince.

Now that Emperor Qinglong had just cleaned up the court, he summoned the descendants of courtiers and nobles to study with him in the palace, which can also calm people's hearts.

Princess Chunhe couldn't bear the loneliness of her younger brother and came up with an idea, but Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Cao looked at each other and smiled, and they both wanted to understand the benefits behind it.

Empress Cao looked at Prince An in her arms, and said with a smile: "Even if my concubine wants to give birth to a younger brother for you, there is no time to play with you."

"Why don't you call a few children into the palace. Let's play with you first, how about going to school with you in the future?"

Prince An's eyes lit up when he heard that, he only asked for a younger brother, but he had a few more playmates.He nodded heavily, and then said uneasy: "I want a boy, a boy!"

Girls are no fun at all, and the two older sisters he likes aren't interested.

Everyone was amused by him, even Empress Dowager Xiao laughed and said, "Okay, I will help you supervise the queen, and I will definitely find a boy for you."

……

This day was not only in the palace, but everywhere in Luoyang city was full of joy, as if the new year had passed ahead of schedule.

Unlike the Tubo war a few years ago, Tubo is far away and is a foreign race.Although everyone in Beijing is concerned, it is really hard to empathize with them.

This time, it was the Ba family army who made a rebellion, which really threatened the safety of the capital.Another big case of Guan Jinghuan's conspiracy broke out, which suppressed the air in central Beijing to an extremely low point.

Therefore, this great victory made everyone feel extraordinarily valuable.

However, the discrepancy between the military situation before and after, although the people in the city didn't see anything wrong, in the deep house compound, some people shuddered.

Among them, Prime Minister Zhu Zihou can be regarded as one.

Ever since he learned the news in the morning, he locked himself in the study room and didn't even leave his study room. Even his lunch was brought in for him by servants.

The family was very puzzled by this, what happened to him?
Only he himself knows the real fear in his heart.The news of the Great Victory in the North was really a coincidence. According to his years of experience in the officialdom, all the coincidences were man-made.

He didn't believe it, the news just happened at this time, whether it was sooner or later?

If one day earlier, the emperor wanted to execute Guan Jiamanmen, Anping Hou and Changping Hou, it would definitely cause all the officials to write a letter.

Even with his eyes closed, he could think of the contents of the booklet. It was nothing more than hard work and meritorious deeds. There was hard work without credit, and the emperor should spread these words of grace.Of course, quotations from scriptures are also indispensable, and Emperor Qinglong must be persuaded to put down the butcher knife.

Only in troubled times can heavy codes be used. In such turmoil, Emperor Qinglong dealt with these families cleanly, and no one dared to question them.

If it is one day later.The emotions that have been suppressed for a long time in Beijing may explode.People's panic is easily contagious, and the meek people in the past will turn into mobs.

Troops were sent out to suppress the situation, and the blood flowed like a river, and the capital city would become more and more depressed.

However, the only person who could control the news so well, Zhu Zihou analyzed and analyzed, was Emperor Qinglong in the deep palace.

He shivered deeply. It was obvious that the emperor was paving the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne.

Then, as an old minister, he should also be wise.

It seems that the emperor is going to start to establish a government team to assist the prince.He planned to submit a letter to beg for the bones tomorrow, following Emperor Qinglong's arrangement.
