The child only started to giggle after he fell into his mother's embrace and smelled the familiar smell. Hua Rong coaxed his son and saw that his husband was still dumbstruck.
Yue Pengju beamed as he received his son. He hugged his son with one hand and pulled her hand with the other as he walked out. Although Yue Pengju did not wear much, he had changed out of his numbed robe from a long time ago. Wearing a silk scholar's uniform, he had a "extravagance" that he had never had before.
The audience was set up by the three Great Generals, Zhao Deji set up a feast to welcome the three Great Generals. During the banquet, he never mentioned about the matter of the retreat, he only praised the three of them for their outstanding achievements, and especially praised Yue Pengju's "loyalty to the world".
During the banquet, there was no trace of killing intent in the eyes of the Emperor. Zhao Deji personally toasted to the three and said with a sigh: "Ever since our Southern Clubhouse, we have racked our brains for our country, until we were not even forty years old, and our hair had already turned white. "It's a good thing that the situation of the country is different now. The Fourth Prince is extremely vicious and greatly disrespectful. We have long since known that he would not be able to become a great person …"
At this point, the three understood that Zhao Deji's imperial decree had more or less been consolidated. The Jinguo could no longer threaten half of the southeastern part of the mountain. Now that the mountains and rivers have been consolidated, what should she do? Naturally, she had to hand over the military power.
Zhang Jun took the initiative to express his stance, "The armies of the world are the troops of His Majesty. In times of war, this subject will do his best to kill the enemy and repay the nation for his actions. "If there is no war, this official is only willing to be a peaceful old man who enjoys a clean and easy life …"
Zhao Deji was very satisfied. Han Zhongliang naturally couldn't boast like Zhang Jun, but facing the Emperor who was planning to give up his military authority, he had no choice but to express his support for him.
Zhao Deji finally turned to look at Yue Pengju, and Han Zhang and Su Yun also looked at Yue Pengju, but seeing that he was not flustered, they remained calm and composed: "I am a farmer, and only because of the gift of the Son of Heaven, can I have a noble official. After many years of war and slaughter, he had long thought of his crimes, and was tired of war. He only thought that when peace was at peace, he should go to the temple and recite scriptures for the dead. Right now, all of my subordinates, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and the others are loyal and have courage and plans, but I have a great responsibility to take them down, and seek your permission to return to Donglin Temple, and ask for your grace, your majesty. "
Zhao Deji had always known that Yue Pengju had an unyielding personality and had already prepared to deal with the grievances and vents that would arise once he withdrew his troops. However, when he heard Yue Pengju's words, he did not have any angry words nor did he complain, but only openly declared that he would convert to the buddhist faith, and was still shocked.
Zhang Jun and Han Zhongliang were also shocked.
Zhao Deji's gaze landed on the silk robe on Yue Pengju's body. He had known Yue Pengju for many years, and was seeing him dressed like this for the first time, so he said: "Today, Yang Yizhong has just lost. Yue Qing is the one who knows most about the war between the two rivers. No! "The land of the Da Song still needs the protection of its fangs and fangs …"
"But I would not dare to renounce everything that I need from a kingdom."
Zhao Deji was very satisfied with his answer.
Yue Pengju had nothing else to say, so he praised the three of them again. After leaving the imperial court, he summoned Hua Rong. Since they were at the rear palace, Yue Pengju naturally could not accompany them, so he could only wait outside the hall.
Zhao Deji was more impatient to see Hua Rong than to meet the three Great Generals, he could not wait any longer. had actually given birth to a son with a terminal illness.
In the harem, Hua Rong was already accompanied by Zhang Yingying and the rest of the women. Thinking back to the Empress Dowager and the others, now that things had changed, both the Empress Dowager and Wan Wan had also gone. Hua Rong was deeply saddened, she only paid her respects to the empress dowager's spirit hall with incense and then followed Zhang Yingying to the Warm Pavilion to wait. After all, they had known each other for many years, and ever since she had gotten married, Zhang Yingying had experienced all sorts of bitter and bitter experiences, and had long since lost her heart of suspicion. Seeing her son, Bai Fatty, was so adorable that she could not stop teasing her, and she felt both envy and jealousy.
Just as they were speaking, they heard Shangguan Family coming over, so everyone anxiously bowed, Hua Rong also hugged her son and bowed.
Zhao Deji said the word "skip" and personally gave the seat for Hua Rong and her mother to sit down. He could not wait to look at the child. He didn't know what was going on in his heart. He was envious and jealous at the same time. He wished with all his heart that this son was his.
When he looked at Hua Rong again, he saw that she was in high spirits, her face was radiant and radiant. She was dressed in a tailored Shu brocade gown, wearing a set of red jewelry, with a hairpin on her head. Each step she took was a lifetime's worth of grace and elegance, and within her elegance, there was a plentiful and mature beauty that he had never seen before.
After going through the painful baptism of childbirth, her earlier emaciation and weakness were all gone. Replacing them was a 100% female brilliance. Compared to the purity of a young girl and the charm of a young woman, there was an indescribable comprehensive sense of beauty. She was even more beautiful than all the beauties he had ever seen in his life — a kind of jealousy and jealousy that surged up within him. It was simply uncontrollable. After a while, he was unable to make a sound.
Seeing his strange eyes, Hua Rong had already prepared herself. Seeing that he had lost her composure, Zhang Yingying coughed as well, and anxiously asked: "Rong Er, medical officer said that your health is not good, how did you manage to recover without taking any medicine?"
Hua Rong said unhurriedly: "I must really thank Shangguan Family for the precious lingzhi root. The fact that Hua Rong's tiny body could be completely healed is all thanks to Your Majesty's kindness."
Zhao Deji was naturally unwilling to give up, and asked again, "Rong Er, can you recall what other medicine you have consumed?"
"Only consuming Lingzhi and tiger bone would waste so many good things in a year, and only then would one be able to preserve a mere life …" She smiled sweetly. "And also, medical officer Wang's medicine, they must have played a part as well …"
Zhao Deji had nothing to say after arriving here. He was clear about how many pills Wang Jixian had taken, but to him, it was useless. Hua Rong saw his expression and said slowly: "If not for Shangguan Family's great kindness back then, Hua Rong would have died a long time ago. There is a saying that I don't know if I should say it … "
When Zhao Deji heard her talk about what happened that year, he pondered deeply for a while, and also sighed emotionally, "Rong Er, an old friend of yours, if you have something to say, you might as well say it."
"At that time, Hua Rong was bestowed with a Ganoderma by the Shangguan Family. Maybe these two together have some miraculous effects, but I m afraid that there would be differences between the physiques of males and females which would harm the holy body of the Shangguan Family, so I don't dare to lightly suggest it … "
Zhao Deji was startled, and then overjoyed: "Why did I never think of that? "Of course there's plenty of tiger bones …"
"They probably need fresh tiger bones. Vicious tigers are rare around Lin An …"
"How hard is that? "We can go and find him …" He immediately ordered the eunuch Zhang Quwei, who was on guard duty today, to arrange for the fight with the fresh tiger.
After receiving this suggestion, Zhao Deji was overjoyed, and said: "Rong Er, your husband and wife went to war for our country, and made a great contribution. You are such a hero, I reward you greatly by personally going up to kill the enemy."
Zhao Deji had something else he wanted to reward Hua Rong and her mother, so Hua Rong didn't decline either. He accepted them all, thanked them, and then casually said: "Hua Rong has been playing in Hangzhou these past few days, and has seen a beautiful garden."
"Since you like it, I'll reward it to you."
Hua Rong was overjoyed: "Thank you, Shangguan Family."
Looking at her eyes, Zhao Deji felt a little regretful, thinking that this woman had awakened too late, why did he have to wait until after marriage and give birth to a child before knowing the beauty of wealth? Zhao Deji had been facing the fat powder of the imperial harem every day, and after carefully examining Hua Rong from head to toe, he discovered that every detail seemed to be extremely luxurious, and it was definitely not because of the rush. Her dress was extremely meticulous, and was even better than the Xiao Liu and Zhang Yingying who were known for their beauty.
Hua Rong and his son, Xie En, bade farewell. Zhao Deji watched her figure disappear into the distance, and turning his head, he heard Zhang Yingying sighing: "How diligent and thrifty was Madame Yue in the past, now with Ling Luo's brocade on her body, and on top of being extremely talented, she is also extremely beautiful, so much so that he can't tell that she's a woman of about thirty years of age …"
Hua Rong was a few years older than Zhang Yingying, Wu Jinnu and the others. Originally, Zhang Yingying was not in the mood to sigh with emotion, but when Zhao Deji heard this, he did not have any feelings, and thought in his heart, everyone said that Yue Pengju was thrifty and worked hard together with the soldiers. As for himself, he had put on an exquisite robe. In front of a high official, who could remain unmoved for the rest of their lives? Thinking about what the Kanggong had reported to him back then, Hua Rong started to become more and more extravagant, liking beautiful clothes. Precious food and food ", and even more sigh:" In this world, which woman can actually suffer for years after years of suffering? " Especially beauties, they would never be willing to become Jing Chai cloth skirt s forever … "
Zhang Yingying naturally knew of his words of "greed but not ambition." However, she did not dare to say even half a sentence, and could not figure out what kind of thoughts the emperor's husband had towards Hua Rong and her wife. She was thinking of disobeying her will and saying a few words of flattery when she saw Zhao Deji walk to the podium in front and looked in the direction of the north gate.
She followed along. From here, she could clearly see Yue Pengju and his wife carrying their child and walking out of the palace. Of the two, one was a handsome man, the other was a woman, while the other was a young and cute girl. In Zhao Deji's eyes, especially Yue Pengju, he was the most handsome, valiant, and victorious man in the Empire. And he himself, after impotence, the words "grandeur" and "grandeur" were completely cut off from him. He was infuriated as he watched, but he also felt an extremely awkward and despicable lust: "She" was so rich and beautiful. If it was her, would it have been possible for a miracle to happen to her so that she could give birth to a son for him?
"Shangguan Family …"
Zhang Yingying shouted three times before she turned around. Seeing his strange gaze, Zhang Yingying's heart shivered. She naturally knew that the Xiao Liu was heavily favored, that the Shangguan Family could take away her clan aunt, but would she not covet the general's wife? However, the Xiao Liu was robbed before he could even pass the gates, and it did not cause much of a reaction, but Yue Pengju was famous throughout the world, and his power shook the north and south. She tried his best to comfort himself, but because of his understanding of the emperor's character all these years, he was a little cold, but when he saw Zhao Deji's lecherous gaze, he was unable to say a word.
Zhao Deji revealed a smile on his face, "We think that Hua Rong is even more beautiful than she was in the past. Maybe it's because she had a son, but her body is much healthier, and no longer dries up like before …"
Zhang Yingying was even more afraid to judge his wife's appearance together with hers. However, she did not dare reveal any expression of fear.
"I am thinking, why is it that my harem beauties are unable to conceive? Maybe they are often in the palace, their bodies are weak, and they aren't easy to conceive … "
