Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 661 Queen Xuan and Concubine Yue
Emperor Wen pointed at Yang Jiao, turned his head and smiled:
"Haha, Zi Tong, did you see that this guy has exposed his flaws after all?"

Queen Xuan said softly:

"Zi Yan has a young mind. He has lived in a deep palace for a long time, and it is understandable that he would like to be freer."

Emperor Wen smiled inexplicably:
"You are underage and have always been under the control of your mother and concubine. If you want to issue a warrant for leaving the palace, you must first ask your mother and concubine to agree, and I will give it to you."

Yang Jiao looked helpless:

"If I could really talk to my mother and concubine, why would I go to my father?"

Emperor Wen was furious:
"Shuzi, do you want me to give it to you?"

When he said this, he immediately realized that it would be unseemly to continue talking, so he immediately changed the subject:
"Zi Sheng, don't let this guy ruin the fun of this family dinner. You have been fighting on the battlefield for three years and always charge forward in every battle. This time when you come back, you must repair yourself and stop working so hard."

"If something happens to you, how can I explain it to the dead Brother Huo?"

Ling Buyi below said seriously:
"As a general, you are naturally ordered to forget your home and yourself when facing the enemy. You must be personally involved in the situation and take the lead, so that you can annihilate the enemy in one go."

Emperor Wen sighed:
"You are also a stubborn person who refuses to listen to what is taught. From now on, you must remember that you are the only one left in the Huo family. You cannot let the Huo family cut off their incense. From now on, on the battlefield, don't Wherever there is danger, we will rush forward.”

"I told you before that I wanted you to get married and have children as soon as possible, and I specifically selected Yuchang, but you just don't agree to it."

Ling Buyi said expressionlessly:
"Your Majesty, if you still want me to marry Princess Yuchang, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the capital for a little longer and will have to continue to fight against rebellion."

Emperor Wen waved his hand:

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it."

He glanced at the sons present who looked increasingly displeased, and scolded:

"Why are you still standing there? Zi Sheng has been in the army for three years. He has destroyed countless rebels and bandits, and he has gained more scars. Why don't you give me a toast to thank me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince took the lead in picking up the wine glass with a sincere look on his face:
"Zisheng, the many contributions you have made really put Gu Gu to shame."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others followed closely, and Yang Jiao also followed the trend and toasted.

half a month later.

Yangde Palace.

Yang Jiao was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory, and Tok Fang walked in quickly:

"Your Highness, I have sent someone to find out the news about the Cheng family."

"There are three sons in the Cheng family. The eldest son Cheng Shi is in the army and is currently fighting in the field. He is a school captain. The second son Cheng Cheng has inconveniences and lives at home. The youngest son Cheng Zhi is studying at Bailu Academy."

"Among them, Cheng Shisheng has three sons and one daughter, and Cheng Chengsheng has one daughter."

"My servant also found out that because Cheng Shi and his wife have been away fighting all year round, for some unknown reason, they took their three sons with the army, but left their only young master at home."

"That's why Mrs. Cheng is often treated harshly by her eldest mother and second aunt."

"From time to time, Mrs. Cheng would be driven back to the country farm in the name of discipline. During this period, she was driven back to the country farm again."

Yang Jiao raised his eyelids:
"Have you found out the specific location of the farm?"

Defang took out a piece of white silk from his arms:
"My slave specially asked someone to draw a route map."

Yang Jiao took the white silk, then stood up and asked:
"How did you go with the horizontal kung fu I taught you before?"

Defang was all smiles:

"Your Highness, this servant has already entered."

Yang Jiao patted his shoulder:

"That's good. If you get punished and get slapped in the future, for you, it will actually help you practice."

Tokufang looked confused:
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Yang Jiao's lips curled up slightly:

"You will understand in the future. When I go to Changqiu Palace, you don't have to follow me."

After that, he stepped out of the dormitory.

Because of Yang Jiao's temperament and behavior that he has developed since childhood, the relationship between his mother-in-law Yongle Palace and Empress Xuan's Changqiu Palace is not as clear-cut as other princes and princesses.

In his opinion, the world is vast and martial arts training is the largest. He likes to stay wherever he feels most comfortable.

The most important thing is that although he is in the harem where the imperial power is most concentrated, the scenes of jealousy and jealousy in the past dynasties have never appeared in his father's harem.

It wasn't that his father knew how to weigh the harem, it was just that he had two women who knew right from wrong and knew justice.

Empress Xuan accepted her fate, while Concubine Yue sobered up. One got a high position, but never cared about the power in her hands. The other was favored in the harem, and all she wanted in her life was to be with her lover.

They are two completely different people, but they develop a feeling of sympathy for each other. They should be tit-for-tat enemies, but their relationship is so harmonious that it is unbelievable.

Empress Xuan has been pushed forward since she was a child. At a young age, she suffered from being dependent on others. Because she was born with a too weak heart, she is always grateful.

Her temperament and temperament were not suitable for the tumultuous harem, but she was still squeezed in and sat in a high position. In her heart, she had always been the most envious of the Yue concubine, who was lower than her.

Concubine Yue was a truly sober person, free and easy, daring to love and hate, and she was in love with Emperor Wen's childhood sweetheart.

So even if Emperor Wen did not sit on the throne of God, she would still marry him.

Then she entered the palace as a concubine. Even though Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan felt they owed her, she never felt aggrieved from the beginning to the end.

After all, what she wants and cares about is always in her hands.

When Emperor Wen was on his own expedition, Concubine Yue followed her around, and the children they gave birth to were generously handed over to Empress Xuan to raise with peace of mind.

Because she believed that Queen Xuan would treat all children equally, and Queen Xuan had indeed lived up to her trust.

After returning, Concubine Yue will help Queen Xuan manage the harem in return. She will do all the things that Queen Xuan cannot do due to her soft heart.

Over time, Concubine Yue was also rumored to have a reputation for being arrogant and domineering because of her great favor, but rumors were just rumors after all, and they could not interfere with her free life at all.

In the end, it evolved into a situation where Empress Xuan is cautious about her words and deeds every day, but Concubine Yue is the one who speaks out for everyone in the palace.

Whatever Queen Xuan cannot say, she will say it, and whatever Queen Xuan cannot do, she will do it.

In this way, the two maintained the most rare tacit understanding between the palace and the beloved concubine.

They are neither hostile nor intimate, neither far nor close. There has never been any conflict, let alone any contradiction. They each guard their own courtyard and live their own lives.

Even in the original plot line, even if the other person's child had an accident, they would not doubt the other person. This unconditional trust is their absolute recognition and trust in each other's personality and character.

Therefore, before Yang Jiao was 12 years old, he either lived in Changqiu Palace or Yongle Palace. He had no intention of competing for savings and did not care about the number of slaves, food, or the size of his future fiefdom.

As a result, I felt much more comfortable in the Changqiu Palace of Empress Xuan than in the Yongle Palace of my mother-in-law, and my relationship with Empress Xuan was extremely close.

This also has a lot to do with the son and daughter she gave birth to.

Since my son is a prince, he is busy with official duties every day and cannot get too close to him.

As the fifth princess of the dynasty, her daughter was domineering, impulsive and brainless, violent, intolerant, and arrogant. How could she be loved?

Changqiu Palace.

Empress Xuan sat on the couch in a friendly manner:

"Ziyan, why do you have time to come here today?"
