Chapter 721
Jiang Yu brings two bad news to Bo Langjun:
One is that the Huns defeated the Dayue clan, forcing the Dayue clan to move to other places; the other is that the princes in the Yan Kingdom murdered the King of Yan in order to compete for the crown prince of Yan, which made the King of Yan disappear.

The expanding sphere of influence of the Xiongnu made the emperor very worried.

The courtiers in the court only suggested strengthening the defense forces at the border, and there was no other way.

Mr. Bo Lang entered the palace following the emperor's command.He had a secret conversation with the emperor in the imperial study for half an hour.

On the morning of the second day, the emperor issued an order to reduce various expenses and reserve military supplies.

As for the Yan State, the descendants of Yan were ordered to perform the duties of the King of Yan, and tried their best to find the whereabouts of the King of Yan.

Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao accompany Bo Ji in the palace.

At night, Luo Jiaojiao asked Mr. Bo Lang if he knew whether King Yan was alive or dead?
Mr. Bo Lang firmly said:
"I'm afraid he is no longer alive!"

"Then why do you let the descendants of Yan perform the duties of King Yan?"

"The fight between the princes of the Yan Kingdom lasts for a day, the more beneficial it is for the emperor."

Bo Langjun's words made Luo Jiaojiao's mouth open.

"Could it be that the emperor intends to withdraw from the county?"

"These vassal states should have been abolished a long time ago! They have become a climate now and pose a threat to the imperial power!"

Bo Langjun's words made Luo Jiaojiao understand his intention.

Fortunately, he is acting as the king, otherwise he would be a restless master!It's probably the same for those counties!
On the day of the new year, the palace was full of joy just like outside the palace.

All the halls were replaced with red palace lanterns.There are also delicate potted flowers in front of the door.A copper wire stove is placed next to the potted flowers.

Although the weather was a bit cold, the faces of the servants and maidservants guarding the gates of the palaces were all blushing.

Red carpets were also spread to the entrance of the courtyard.

The emperor and the queen walked into the garden where Bo Ji lived.Behind them followed the prince and other princes.

Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Yin walked last.

Sitting opposite Bo Ji, Bo Langjun and Luo Jiaojiao saw the emperor and queen coming, and saluted together.

"no!"

The emperor and queen led the crowd to salute Bo Ji and sit down.

A happy smile appeared on Bo Ji's face.

"Come on! Come to grandma!"

Bo Ji gathered the children to her side.

The lively Luo Jiaojiao poured tea for everyone with a smile.

Bo Ji ordered her personal maid to fetch the purse she sewed by herself.

The children were very happy to receive the presents.

The fourth prince, King Huai of Liang, secretly opened the purse and saw that there were five golden lockets inside.He was overjoyed immediately, snuggling up beside Bo Ji and smiling extra happily.

"I really don't know anything!"

The prince scoffed at King Huai of Liang.

The second prince, King Huaiyang, liked his half-brother very much.He stuffed his purse into the hands of the fourth prince, King Huai of Liang.

King Huai of Liang didn't dare to ask for it, so he stuffed it back.

The emperor and the queen mother smiled gently when they saw it.

Brothers and friends are what they are most happy to see.

The queen was very anxious when she saw the contempt on the prince's face.Although the second prince is also born of her, she still cherishes her eldest son very much.

"The eldest princess and the son-in-law have arrived!"

The servant Huang outside the hall shouted at the top of his voice.

"Is this going to be released?"

Luo Jiaojiao looked up at the entrance of the hall.

Wearing a pink coat and a black robe with dark red flowers, the eldest princess's fair and hungry face is extraordinarily beautiful.

"I have seen the queen mother, the emperor, the queen mother, and the uncle of the country!"

The eldest princess bowed her head slightly to salute.

Consort Yang Zisheng also bowed to salute.

"Come and sit next to the queen mother!"

The queen called the eldest princess affectionately.

"Thank you mother!"

The eldest princess respectfully walked to the queen and sat down.

Yang Zisheng sat behind the side table and looked up at Luo Jiaojiao.

"Look at what I do? There are so many people!"

Luo Jiaojiao unnaturally lowered her head to make tea.

Mr. Bo Lang was very dissatisfied with Yang Zisheng's rude behavior, but he didn't show it on his face.

At lunch time, everyone followed the Queen Mother and the Emperor to the banquet hall.

The dishes are still exquisite, but simplified a lot.

"The eldest princess seems to have changed. Her every move and gesture shows the demeanor of a lady."

This satisfied the emperor and queen mother.

When the queen saw it, she felt a little perplexed.

Although the former eldest princess was domineering, she was not good at disguising herself.Now that she has wrapped herself up, it means that something has changed deep inside her.

People who don't show their faces are terrible!The queen looked at Bo Langjun.She didn't want the eldest princess to look like him, that would really disturb her.

The transformation of the eldest princess is not surprising at all.Her house recently invited a Taoist priest with profound Taoism.The Taoist priest gave her some pointers, and she became what she is now.

"It's been a long time since the prostitute got married, why haven't I seen any movement in my stomach?"

Mrs. Shen put down her chopsticks and asked with concern.

"Isn't it the same, madam?"

The eldest princess replied neither annoyed nor impatient.

"Too!"

Mrs. Shen made a fool of herself, so she stopped talking.

"How is A-Jiao doing?"

Bo Ji turned to look at Luo Jiaojiao.

"She is insisting on taking medicine, and it will take a year and a half to recuperate! Don't worry!"

Bo Langjun took the lead for Luo Jiaojiao.

Li'er looked at Luo Jiaojiao with concern.Luo Jiaojiao smiled when she saw it.

The emperor also brought food for Madam Shen who was beside him.

"Father has always been eccentric!"

The eldest princess muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Whore! No nonsense!"

The queen immediately spoke to stop the eldest princess.

"Madam Shen's body is weaker, it's time to mend it!"

The emperor looked apologetically at Mrs. Shen who was wearing black linen fabric and said.

"It's the concubine's stomach that doesn't live up to expectations!"

Mrs. Shen's eyes turned red, she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"The son-in-law should also pay more attention!"

The queen turned to look at Yang Zisheng who was drinking alone.

"Yes! Yang Zisheng remembers the queen's teachings!"

Yang Zisheng replied respectfully.

After lunch, everyone went back separately.

Luo Jiaojiao asked Mr. Bo, why did the eldest princess have no children?
"Perhaps too many bad things have been done!"

Mr. Bo Lang said casually.

"I didn't do anything bad!"

This is really unintentional for the speaker, but intentional for the listener.Luo Jiaojiao pursed her lips when she heard Bo Langjun's answer.

"You know I'm not talking about you! Why do you want to hug me?"

Mr. Bo Lang whispered to Luo Jiaojiao.

"But I just don't like it!"

Luo Jiaojiao retorted softly.

"This temper is really a headache!"

Mr. Bo Lang sighed in his heart.

Luo Jiaojiao also felt drowsy when she saw Bo Langjun enter the inner room to rest.

So she lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Feng Yue, who was guarding the door, saw that Luo Jiaojiao was not covered with a quilt, and felt a little anxious, but he didn't dare to enter the hall.

It happened that Jiang Yu came over.He hastened to salute:
"Master and Madam have fallen asleep, it's just..."

Seeing Feng Yue's stammering expression, Jiang Yu frowned.He looked into the side hall with his head and walked in.

Luo Jiaojiao, who was in a drowsy sleep, vaguely felt that someone was coming, so she opened her eyes a crack.

Jiang Yu's blurred figure appeared in her sight.

"I'm not dreaming!"

Luo Jiaojiao struggled to open her eyes.

"It's very cold, do you have to sleep with a quilt in the future?"

Jiang Yu pulled the blanket to Luo Jiaojiao's body.

Luo Jiaojiao responded vaguely.

"It's great to have Jiang Yu here!"
