Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 360 Banquet
It wasn't until she flung herself into her mother's arms and smelled the familiar smell that the child started giggling again. Hua Rong coaxed her son, but seeing her husband still dumbfounded, she gave him a look: "Pengju, are you stupid?"

Yue Pengju took his son with a smile, hugged him in one hand, took her hand in the other, and walked out.Although Yue Pengju didn't dress up very well, he also changed out of the earlier numb gown and wore a silk Confucian uniform, which was a "luxury" that he had never had before.

The audience was held together by the three generals, and Zhao Deji set up a feast to entertain the three generals.During the dinner, he never mentioned the withdrawal of troops, but only praised the three men for their outstanding military exploits, especially calling Yue Pengju "loyalty and bravery".

During the banquet, the monarch and his subjects were in harmony, without any murderous intent.Zhao Deji personally toasted the three of them, and sighed: "Since I traveled to the south, I have devoted myself to the country, so that my hair is graying before the age of 40. Fortunately, the situation of the country is different from the past. The fourth prince is vicious and vicious. I know he can't become a master..."

At this point, Zhao Deji's decree, the three of them roughly understand that this is the consolidation of the country, and the Kingdom of Jin can no longer threaten the half of the country in the southeast.The country has been consolidated, what will the Titans do?Naturally, surrender military power.

Zhang Jun was the first to express his opinion: "The soldiers and horses in the world are your Majesty's soldiers and horses. When there is a war, I should fight the enemy bravely and serve the country. If there is no war, I only want to be a peaceful old man who enjoys peace..."

Zhao Deji was very satisfied.Naturally, Han Zhongliang couldn't be as boastful as Zhang Jun, but he had to express his stance and support in the face of the emperor's plan to give up his military power.

Zhao Deji finally turned to Yue Pengju, and Han and Zhang looked at Yue Pengju together, but they saw that he was not in a hurry, calm and composed: "I am a farmer, and it is all thanks to the emperor's favor that I have a high official and rich salary. I have been fighting for many years. Killing into rivers, I have long thought about the serious crimes, and I am tired of wars. I only think about the time of peace. I should go to the temple to chant sutras for the dead. Now, my subordinates Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others are loyal, brave and resourceful, and they can be great responsibilities , I ask myself to return to Donglin Temple, and ask Your Majesty for permission..."

Zhao Deji had always known that Yue Pengju had a strong temper, and he was already prepared to deal with the anger and vent he would have after he withdrew, but he was still surprised to hear that he didn't express any resentment or complaints, but just openly declared that he would convert to Buddhism.

Zhang Jun and Han Zhongliang were also taken aback.

Zhao Deji's gaze fell on Yue Pengju's silk brocade robe. He had known Yue Pengju for many years, and it was the first time he saw him dressed like this. You are in such a beautiful age, how can you talk about retiring? No! The Song Dynasty still needs the protection of the country's minions..."

"But how dare I refuse to ask for the needs of the country?"

Zhao Deji was very satisfied with this answer.

Yue Pengju had nothing else to say, so Zhao Deji praised the three of them, and after he retired from court, he summoned Hua Rong.Because they were in the harem, Yue Pengju couldn't be with him, so he had to wait in the outer hall.

Zhao Deji was more eager to meet Hua Rong than to meet the three generals, it could be said that he couldn't wait.Without him, it was naturally Hua Rong who gave birth to a son with a terminal illness.

In the harem, Hua Rong was already accompanied by Zhang Yingying and other female relatives.Back then, there was the queen mother and others, but now things are different, the queen mother has gone, Wan Wan has gone too, Hua Rong felt deeply sad, and only saluted and offered incense for the queen mother's mourning hall, and then followed Zhang Yingying to the warm pavilion to wait.Although she and Zhang Yingying have never been friends, they have known each other for many years after all, and Zhang Yingying has experienced the ups and downs of these years since she married, and has long since lost her suspicion. Seeing her son is fat and cute, he is very happy and can't stop Teasing, envious and sad at the same time, I thought, if I have such a son, how wonderful it would be?

While talking, they heard the officials coming, and everyone hurriedly saluted, Hua Rong also hugged his son to salute.

Zhao Deji said "Excuse me", personally offered a seat for Hua Rong's mother and son to sit down, and couldn't wait to look at the child, the child was fat and strong, Yuxue was cute, and his facial features looked like Yue Pengju's feet.He didn't know what it was like in his heart, he was envious and jealous at the same time, he only wished that this son was his own.

Looking at Hua Rong again, I saw that she was energetic and radiant, wearing a well-tailored Sichuan brocade embroidered dress, a set of red jewels, a hairpin on her head, and a graceful posture with every step. The plump and mature beauty that has never been seen before.

That is the unique charm and beauty of a woman after giving birth. After experiencing the baptism of childbirth, her haggard and frailty earlier are all gone, replaced by a 100% feminine brilliance, compared to the purity of a girl, young woman The charming, more an indescribable comprehensive beauty.She was three points more beautiful than any beauties he had ever seen in his life—a perverted psychology of not getting it and jealousy surged up, and it was almost unstoppable, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.

Seeing his miraculous eyes, Hua Rong had already been on guard. Zhang Yingying coughed when she saw him losing his composure. Zhao Deji came to his senses and asked eagerly, "Rong'er, the medical officials said that you are not in good health, why did you manage to recover without medicine?" Heal?"

Hua Rong said calmly, "I really want to thank the officials for the precious Ganoderma lucidum. Hua Rong's recovery is due to His Majesty's kindness."

Zhao Deji naturally did not give up, and asked again: "Rong'er, can you recall, what other medicines have you taken?"

"Only taking Ganoderma lucidum and tiger bones, such a year, I really don't know how many good things I have wasted, just to save my life..." She smiled sweetly, "A few medicines from Doctor Wang also contributed..."

Zhao Deji naturally has nothing to say here, he knows how many medicines Wang Jixian took, but it doesn't help him.Seeing his expression, Hua Rong said slowly: "If it wasn't for the great kindness of the officials back then, Hua Rong would have died long ago, why would it be today? There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say it..."

When Zhao Deji heard her mention the events back then, he thought for a while, and sighed: "Rong'er, you and I are old friends, you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

"Back then, Hua Rong was rewarded with Ganoderma lucidum by the government, and hunted tigers in the deep mountains, and was able to survive from a desperate situation. Maybe these two combinations have magical effects, but he was afraid that the physique of men and women would be different and damage the sacred body of the government, so he dared not Easy to suggest..."

Zhao Deji was startled when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed: "Why did I never think of this? Naturally, there are plenty of tiger bones..."

"It is estimated that fresh tiger bones are needed. There are few tigers around Lin'an..."

"What's so difficult about it? You can go to another place to find it..." He immediately ordered Zhang, the eunuch on duty today, to go down and arrange to hunt fresh tigers.

Zhao Deji was overjoyed when he got this suggestion, and said: "Rong'er, you and your wife fought for the country and made great contributions. You are a heroine, and you personally go into battle to kill the enemy. I will reward you a lot..."

Zhao Deji had another reward for Hua Rong's mother and son, and Hua Rong did not refuse at all, accepting all of them, thanking him, and then casually said: "Hua Rong is visiting Hangzhou these days, and saw a beautiful garden..."

"Since you like it, I will reward you."

Hua Rong was overjoyed: "Thank you, officials..."

Seeing the joy and brilliance brought by wealth in her eyes, Zhao Deji felt a little regretful, thinking, this woman also enlightened too late, why did she have to wait until she got married and had children to know the beauty of prosperity and wealth?Zhao Deji faces harem fans every day, carefully scrutinizes Hua Rong from head to toe, and finds that every detail reveals luxury, and she is definitely not dressed in a hurry. Xiao Liu and Zhang Yingying are even better.

Hua Rong's mother and son Xie En leave, Zhao Deji watched her go away, turned around, only to hear Zhang Yingying sigh: "Mrs. It's a woman in her thirties..."

Hua Rong was a few years older than Zhang Yingying, Wu Jinnu, etc. Zhang Yingying sighed inadvertently, but Zhao Deji heard it, but he didn't feel it. With this luxurious clothing, it can be seen that most of them are still trying to gain fame.And he himself put on an exquisite robe.In front of high-ranking officials and rich salary, who can truly remain unshakable for a lifetime?Reminiscent of what Eunuch Kang reported at Dongting Lake back then, Hua Rong has become more and more extravagant, liking "beautiful clothes and fine food", and even sighed: "In this world, is there any woman who has suffered for many years? Especially a woman with a bit of beauty will not be content with the eternal Jingchai sarong..."

Zhang Yingying naturally knew his remarks of "greedy but not ambitious, ambitious but not greedy", but she didn't dare to say a word, and she was not sure what the emperor's husband had in mind for Hua Rong and his wife, and was thinking about how to act against her will. He said a few words of flattery, but saw Zhao Deji walking to the high platform in front, looking in the direction of the north gate.

She followed. From here, one could clearly see Yue Pengju and his wife leaving the palace with their child in their arms.These two people, the male is heroic, the female is handsome, and the child is fat and cute.Zhao Deji saw it, especially Yue Pengju, who was so majestic and victorious, he could be called the most stalwart man in the empire.As for himself, after becoming impotent, the words "majestic" and "stalwart" were completely insulated from him.He saw that his heart was furious, but an extremely awkward and vile lust surged up: "She" is so plump and beautiful, if she is, can there be a miracle and give birth to a son for him?
............................................................

"The official family..."

Zhang Yingying called out three times in a row, Zhao Deji turned around.Seeing his strange gaze, Zhang Yingying's heart shuddered.She naturally knew that Xiao Liu's family was favored, and the official family could snatch the clan's aunt, but would she covet the general's wife?But the little Liu family was robbed before entering the family, so it would not cause too much repercussions, but Yue Peng's name spread all over the world, and his power shook the north and south. Wouldn't it embarrass the world that the majestic emperor coveted the wife of a first-rank official?She tried to comfort herself, but based on her knowledge of the emperor's character over the years, she felt a little chilled, but seeing Zhao Deji's lustful eyes, she couldn't speak for a moment.

Zhao Deji showed a smile on his face: "I see Hua Rong, her beauty is better than before, maybe it's because of the birth of a son, her body is much plump, and she is no longer as dry as before..."

Zhang Yingying didn't even dare to talk with him about the appearance of the minister's wife, but she didn't dare to show any signs of fear. According to the habit she had developed under years of lust, she said obediently: "Maybe."

"I was thinking, my harem is full of beauties, but why are they infertile? Maybe it's because they are often in the deep palace, their bodies are weak and they are not easy to conceive..."
