Chapter 55: reward

Chapter 55 Rewards

These words aroused the emperor's competitive spirit almost effortlessly. There is no small matter in military equipment. Dongwa is indeed a small country, but the key point is that it is just southeast of Dayong, and they can look at each other from a distance. It has been heard, and the Eastern Japan has always harassed the southeast coast. It has always been Dayong's ringworm and scabies. It does not hurt life temporarily, but if it is ignored, it will lead to serious troubles over time.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then figured out the key point. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Yan, "Ah Yan, what do you think of this firearm camp?"

Lu Yan smiled at the corners of his lips, bowed his waist, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think that the commander of this firearms battalion must not only know how to fight, but also be a famous Confucian general."

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"Dayong's firearms battalion has been stationed in the capital since the previous dynasty. The equipment is renewed every year, and a lot of money is allocated every year. However, whether it is the bird gun or the general's cannon, it is still the same, and it has not improved over the years. Instead, let the Yi people of Dongwo run to the front."

Speaking of this, the emperor was also full of anger, he thought about it, and suddenly remembered a person, "Ah Yan, I think of a person, who has both civil and military skills, and there is really one in the whole court."

Xie Yuanbai!

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and the emperor suddenly laughed. He pointed at Lu Yan and said triumphantly, "There are times when you don't think of it? Back then, I ordered his Tanhua Lang, and his daughter saved your life. "

"Your Majesty is saying thank you General?"

"it's him!"

Lu Yan suddenly realized, "You are still the emperor's sage. I heard in a trance that General Xie has a long-term memory. He likes to play with some tricks and tricks and was admonished by Mr. Xie. Later, he traveled all over the world for a year, and his knowledge is very extraordinary. After going to the military camp, he was good at using soldiers and won several battles."

"Well, who would have thought that he is a feeble scholar, and all his military achievements are earned by himself. It's him!" The emperor made a decision, "If Xie Yuanbai is appointed to command the affairs and lead the firearms battalion, if he can give my supervisor a plan to cross the East I will not be stingy in rewarding Japanese firearms."

Lu Yan knew a long time ago that the emperor had his eye on Xie Yuanbai. The Xie family was the first of the four major families to submit to the royal family back then. Compared to the past, the Xie family is not as good as before. The inner house cannot be raised, and a family is about to go downhill.

The emperor no longer has so much fear of the Xie family. People from the Xie family can use it, of course they have to use it.

The fact that the queen is pregnant is known in the entire palace, except for the eldest princess and the people who serve the queen, only the emperor knows.

In the palace, there are things that can be hidden from the emperor, but there will never be things that can be hidden from Lu Yan.

The emperor and the empress are very affectionate, even if they are not resting in Fengzhi Palace, they will come over every night to have a look, or the empress will go to greet the emperor and meet the husband and wife. After the queen is pregnant, the emperor will come even more, and he will stay a little longer every day.

On this day, the emperor even sent someone early to say that he would have dinner at Fengzhi Palace later.

The queen personally drew up the menu, and ordered the imperial dining room to do its best.

The eldest princess came to pay her respects to the empress after school. Now, the empress, on the grounds of her poor health, goes deep into the Fengzhi Palace, and even the concubines are exempted from the morning and evening rituals, and the princes and daughters are less and less used, and only the eldest princess can see the empress .

"Your father is coming to have a meal today, you should go back earlier, the queen mother will not keep you for a meal today."

"The son will go back in a while, but the son will watch the mother eat the medicinal food before leaving."

The queen knew that the eldest princess had a knot in her heart, and that the eldest princess was her heart, so she smiled helplessly, "Go and bring the medicinal food."

Grandma Xi brought a bowl of medicinal food to the queen, "Madam, Miss Xie said that this medicinal food should be used for three meals a day on time, and the princess is so considerate."

Xie Zhiwei wrote several medicinal recipes to the queen at Famen Temple that day. After the queen's pulse condition stabilized, she also repeatedly told her not to take any medicine during pregnancy to avoid affecting the fetus. The queen listened to it in her heart, she showed Xu Yi the medicinal recipe, and Xu Yi said it was perfect.

Nanny Xi followed these medicinal diet recipes three times a day to make herbal diet. After eating these days, the Empress gradually blushed. Although her appetite was not as good as before, it was darker than when she was pregnant with the eldest princess. So much better.

The eldest princess watched the queen finish the medicinal food, talked with the queen for a while, and then left.

In the evening, the emperor came and was greeted by the people in Fengzhi Palace. The empress was waiting at the door and was about to salute.

"The courtier and concubine are the masters of the harem, and they are the mother of the world. If they don't even pay attention to etiquette, how can they set an example for all people?"

The emperor didn't say much, he just took the queen's hand, and the two entered the side hall, drank a cup of tea, and chatted some gossip, when Mammy Xi came to ask if the meal was set, the emperor ordered it to be served because he still had something to do. meal.

The queen didn't eat much, she only picked up some light food and took it into her mouth.

After dinner, seeing that the emperor was worried, the queen hurriedly said, "This concubine is already very good, and I can still eat three bowls of medicinal food every day. Today, the imperial doctor Wang came in to ask for the pulse of the concubine. The pulse condition is very stable, and the concubine is also very relieved." .”

"I don't worry too!" The emperor was looking forward to the empress to have a son-in-law, and now he felt that the son-in-law came at the right time. He was in the prime of life, and he could live for at least a decade or two. king of a country.

If the queen gave birth to a legitimate son early, it may not be a blessing for the community.

"Speaking of which, the empress is dangerous and dangerous this time. If it weren't for Miss Xie, I'm afraid it will be all over again." Although the emperor didn't see it with his own eyes, but thinking about it, he still has lingering fears, "Ah Yan was also saved by Miss Xie. One life, today we are talking about rewarding and thanking the young lady, does the queen have any suggestions?"

The queen has been thinking about this matter, the more she has to wait, the more she feels sorry for Xie Zhiwei, if it wasn't for finding the real murderer, why would she let Miss Xie suffer such grievances? Right now, thanks to Lu Yan's incident, Xie Zhiwei was rewarded, and she felt a little more at ease.

"Your Majesty, Xie's family is noble, a century-old family, looking at Miss Xie's noble background, but in fact, who can really understand the bitterness of it?"

The empress said, her eye circles were red. The emperor was stunned, "Miss Xie is the eldest daughter of the family, why, will the Xie family still treat her harshly?"

"The things in the inner house are hard to describe. Miss Xie is the most embarrassing member of the Xie family. Her grandmother is a step-grandmother, and her mother is a stepmother. Yuan's stepmother is said to be a good concubine. With Feng's step-mother-in-law, I can barely live my life, even if I want to protect Miss Xie, I can't do it."

These trivial things in the house, if you talk too much, the emperor may not like to hear it, and the queen will stop talking.

"Your Majesty, if you really want to thank the eldest girl for something, the concubine thinks that it is better to give her a protective umbrella. Money and the like, a girl who has not left the court is really useless."
