Rebirth of the Princess She is weird
Chapter 8: The General's Triumphant Return and the Concubine's Pillow Wind
In the imperial study, General Lu walked in from the door. He was wearing armor, looking cold and imposing, and as steady as a mountain. His piercing eyes were as attractive as a tiger's, and his face was full of courage and fortitude. He knelt down and saluted.
Lu Jiangzhi looked around and saw no one. His Majesty urgently summoned him and his son back to Chang'an, thinking that something must have happened.
"Your Majesty!" He walked over and handed the battle report to Emperor Yuan Zhen.
"Everyone, please don't be polite. General Lu has worked hard on the journey." The emperor's eyes were slightly warm. He personally helped Lu Jiangzhi up and took a deep look at Lu Yanxiu beside him. "I guess this must be Botang. He has grown so big in the past few years."
Lu Jiangzhi paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's my son."
The emperor touched Lu Yanxiu's hairy head and said kindly, "Oh, you've grown so big now, can we get married?"
The young man saluted with his fists in high spirits, and then, thinking of the woman he had just seen, he blushed and said, "Your Majesty, not yet."
"So what do you think of my eldest princess?" the emperor asked suddenly.
The eldest princess? No impression. He had followed his father to fight all over the world since he was a child, focusing on military strategy. He was surrounded by stinky men. He really didn't know about this eldest princess.
Your Majesty, what do you want to do by asking this?
He stammered, "...I...I'd better think about it..."
"How dare you find fault with the princess?" Lu Jiangzhi frowned and scolded this evil creature who didn't read the emperor's mood.
Then he turned around and said in panic, "Your Majesty, with his rudeness, even a country girl wouldn't want him, let alone a princess."
"Hey, General Lu, you are wrong," the emperor raised his eyebrows, picked up the battle report and said with a smile, "General Lu is bold and careful, he can do anything in the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he has a bold personality, which is a perfect match for my daughter who lives a secluded life."
"Can..."
Lu Jiang had no idea what the emperor was up to, so he returned to the court secretly ahead of time, praised his son highly, and wanted to marry the eldest princess to Bo Tang.
He was really panicked, and knelt down and asked, "Your Majesty, did I do something wrong?"
"General Lu, what are you doing?" Emperor Yuan Zhen quickly helped him up, looking unhappy, "I know General Lu is afraid, never mind, in a few days Polo will let Bo Tang go and see, the Queen Mother is there choosing a husband for the eldest princess. Thinking about you fighting for the country and the eldest son of the mansion still unmarried, I want to make up for you a little."
Lu Jiangzhi opened his mouth and said, "Thank you for your grace."
Didn’t the princess say she was going to marry into the Shen family? Why did she suddenly decide not to marry?
Today, Prime Minister Shen was not here to discuss government affairs, and even the father-in-law, Helian Taifu, was nowhere to be seen. On weekdays, he would see these two people fighting openly and secretly here. He was really tired as a military officer, so he took his son to the border to recover the territory in those years.
"My dear minister, thank you for your courtesy." Are you so happy? The emperor's eyes became dark and he tightened his dragon robe.
Lu Jiangzhi felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Where are the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister Shen? Why aren't they here today?"
The emperor looked unhappy and snorted coldly: "The two of them, one is with the Queen Mother, and the other is accompanying his son to learn the rules!"
Seeing the emperor's anger, it was clear that the matter was serious. Lu Jiangzhi asked, "Your Majesty summoned me to return to the court early, but did something happen in the court?"
The emperor looked embarrassed, "I won't hide it from you. I found out a few days ago that someone in the court was trying to win over the princess and make friends with the rich and powerful to expand their power. I'm afraid the prince is ready to seize the throne."
He omitted some of the dirty stuff and only talked about the important things.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you at your will. Please give your orders!" Lu Jiangzhi, Lu Yanxiu and others knelt down and swore an oath to the emperor.
"Well," the emperor took his seat, spread his face and said happily, "My dear minister, you are so righteous. I am very grateful to you."
"It is my duty to share your Majesty's worries."
There must be something behind the eldest princess's breaking off of the engagement. Your Majesty has no one under his command at the moment, so he urgently summoned him back. He will go back and ask his wife first.
After the meeting in the Imperial Study, Emperor Yuan Zhen was alone in the study reading through memorials.
Xu Congxing brought the jade token early, and also brought a food box with the Jinle Palace logo, and consoled him: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Concubine Xian is crying in the palace and wants to see Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuan Zhen pondered for a moment and said leisurely, "Hasn't Yu Fei's marriage been settled? What else can she make trouble for?"
"That's true," Xu Congxing said with an apologetic smile, "but Your Majesty should still go and take a look."
The emperor slammed down the golden nanmu table and warned with his eyes: "Don't you think you are meddling too much, Officer Xu!"
Xu Congxing panicked, his knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is really because the queen knelt in the palace and refused to get up. It is a cold spring now. I am really worried, so I report this to you. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
In recent years, the virtuous concubine has indeed been a little arrogant, but at the same time she is obedient and acts very prudently and thoughtfully. If it weren't for the Shen family this time, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been implicated.
The emperor closed his eyes, put down the book, looked up at the ceiling and sighed: "Okay, I'll go take a look tonight."
Late at night.
There were dim lights at the entrance of Jinle Palace.
The virtuous concubine knelt down in front of the door early. At the order of the door attendant, she pulled out the cushion under her knees.
She swayed delicately like a little white flower in the wind. No matter how angry the emperor was, his anger would be mostly relieved when he saw her like this.
Seeing her delicate and charming appearance, the emperor's heart softened. He helped Concubine Xian up and said softly, "Get up."
The virtuous concubine's hands trembled slightly, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. She said in a sad voice: "It's all my fault that I didn't discipline my subordinates well. Not only did I harm the eldest princess, but I also made the queen mother angry with Your Majesty. Because of Yu Fei, the eldest princess's marriage was ruined."
The emperor was moved by her sincerity and all his anger disappeared. He said softly, "You are young, how can you take care of all these things? The queen is ill, so it is inevitable that some villains will take advantage of you."
The two of them chatted back and forth, showing their affection and soon got to the point.
Concubine Xian was still not giving up on Yuan Fuge marrying into the Shen family. She surrounded the emperor and prepared her own arguments based on past experience.
Under the candlelight, Concubine Xian looked shy and tender, "Your Majesty, I am really sorry for what happened today."
The emperor was so confused by the trembling sound that he opened his eyelids and smiled, "It's okay. It happened. There's nothing we can do."
"I thought my nephew was in love with the eldest princess, so I wondered if they could continue their relationship?" asked Concubine Xian timidly.
"How can he still see Shu Wan after he did such a thing?" The emperor felt sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Concubine Xian said softly, "I am sorry to the Princess, but I see that Fu Ge is very interested in Huai Xu, which shows that the children still have some affection for each other. It's all my fault that I have no experience and let my nephew miss this marriage."
The emperor said sternly: "But he has already promised Yu Fei, why does he still want to leave Shu Wan?"
Concubine Xian pushed him and said coquettishly, "Oh, I went down to ask, and Huai Xu said that he was bewitched by a villain and believed in slander, so he committed such a foolish thing. Today, he saw that the princess was not as cowardly as the rumors said, and he was deeply impressed by her noble character."
"Is Yu Fei willing to be my concubine?" the emperor asked.
The virtuous concubine gently tapped the emperor's chest and said softly, "Of course she is willing. She said she knows what her cousin is thinking and is willing to be under her elder sister. She will learn etiquette and live a proper life with her elder sister in the future."
Emperor Yuan Zhen was a little confused at first, but after all, he had just been scolded by his old mother, and his heart sank and he instantly woke up. It was really rare for the Shen family to have sisters sharing the same husband.
He thought for a moment and said slowly, "You have to ask the Queen Mother about this matter. She is in charge of the Princess' affairs now. I can't do anything about it."
The virtuous concubine became anxious and sat up from the bed, saying, "What about the third prince? Does His Majesty not care about him anymore? Do I have to kneel down and beg His Majesty?" As she spoke, tears filled her eyes again.
The emperor remembered the backstabbing of the Shen family, and he still felt the burning pain on his face from the empress dowager's scolding. He said in a deep voice, "Is it my fault that your nephew lost the chance to marry the princess?"
Concubine Xian choked and looked at Emperor Yuan Zhen in disbelief. She didn't expect him to say such a thing. Normally, as long as she acted coquettishly and behaved well, he would always agree with what she said. Why didn't it work now?
The emperor put on his inner robe and stood up. His voice became cold and hard as he said, "Are you really doing this for your nephew, or is it because your brother is instigating you behind your back?"
Concubine Xian looked horrified, kneeling on the bed and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't. I really feel sorry for my nephew."
"You'd better!" The emperor immediately put on his clothes, got out of bed, and went to the queen's bedroom.
Seeing his daughter today, he thought about how he hadn't visited the Queen for a long time. The Queen and he were young couples, so their affection was there after all. Thinking of this, he raised his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Xu Congxing, please go to Lizheng Palace."
"Yes!"
Su Lan came over in a hurry and asked, "What should the queen do next?"
Xianfei was shocked and angry. She was used to being favored and couldn't bring herself to beg the emperor again. She gritted her teeth and looked outside the door and said, "What are you afraid of? Can't I squeeze one person in?"
