C377 On Marriage

Although it was already the New Year, it was still chilly outside. Yuwen Di leaned on the bed to rest, only Eunuch Ming accompanied him.

Yuwen Di was dozing off, but he suddenly seemed to remember something. He raised his head to look at Yuwen Di, waved his hand at him, and said: "Do you have any news about the Southwest Battlefield in the next few days?

"Eunuch Ming thought for a moment, then nodded at Yuwen Di. Two days ago, the Southwest Army Report reported back that General Wu Shan had already gained his morale and led his soldiers to fight a victory. Right now, the countries under the Southwest are unable to hold on any longer, I believe that General Wu Shan will be able to return to the capital in a few days.

Hearing Eunuch Ming's words, Yuwen Di couldn't help but reveal a joyous expression.

Wu Shan wasn't very old, but he was a teacher to his grandfather, Old General Wu. He had been familiar with the military strategy since he was young, and now that he had won numerous battles, not only did he manage to protect the territory of the Jin Country, he also served as an explanation to the people of the Wu Family.

"At the beginning of the new year, seeing the Southwest Battlefield go so smoothly, I am relieved." Yuwen Di leaned on the side of the bed and laughed, his eyes flickered continuously as he said: "Wu Shan, this child truly cannot be underestimated. When he returns from the battle, I will reward him well. The Wu Family does not have much power in the imperial court anymore, and the Queen's mother was the only one. If we were to continue like this, the world would truly change its name. "

Eunuch Ming naturally understood the worry in Yuwen Di's heart, and did not dare to say more, as he stood to the side and waited.

A report suddenly came in from outside the hall: The Empress had arrived.

Eunuch Ming was startled when he heard it, turning his head to look at Yuwen Di, not knowing what to do.

Yuwen Di laughed softly and said to himself: "You really know how to speak. As I was talking, she came right after me. "

"Your Majesty, this …" Eunuch Ming stood at the side and hesitated for a moment, looking at Yuwen Di with a complicated gaze.

Yuwen Di did not mind, and waved towards Eunuch Ming, "Go and invite the empress in."

Hearing the Emperor's words, Eunuch Ming nodded and walked out to invite the Empress in.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor. My respects to the Emperor." I pay my respects to the Emperor. Yuwen Di slowly sat up. The Empress quickly walked in and greeted Yuwen Di with a bow.

Yuwen Di opened his eyes slightly and waved towards the Queen, indicating her to stand up, while casually saying: "It's cold outside, why did the Empress take the chance today to come to my place?"

Only then did the Queen slowly stand up and give a look to the palace maid beside her. The palace maid then quickly brought the food out and placed it in front of Yuwen Di. Only then did the Queen smile at Yuwen Di and said, "Now that it's the New Year's Eve, there's nothing important in the palace. This concubine has personally made some pastries and brought it over to the Emperor, so it can be considered as my concubine's intentions."

As the Queen spoke, she opened the box and took out a piece of cake from within, passing it to Yuwen Di. With a face full of smiles, she said, "Your majesty, quickly taste this concubine's cooking skills."

Yuwen Di, however, did not react. He only gently pushed away the empress's hand and said indifferently to the empress, "We are not hungry right now. Let's put the empress aside first."

Hearing Yuwen Di's words, the empress could not help but feel embarrassed, but she still let go of his hand and placed the pastries into a box at the side before nodding at Yuwen Di. Then, let the palace maid take it and warm it up. When the Emperor is hungry, then we can give it to the Emperor to eat. "

As the Queen spoke, she called for the palace maid beside her to pack up the food. Yuwen Di gently clapped his hands and nodded towards the empress.

"Your majesty, the Fifth Prince has already left the capital for three months. In these past few days, he's been rushing about in the Jiangnan Province and can be considered to have suffered a lot. "Although this child doesn't have much ability, he still knows about filial piety. I hope that your majesty will remember his filial piety." The empress sat by the emperor's side and thought for a moment before finally speaking to him.

However, Yuwen Di remained unmoved. With the same faint smile on his face, he nodded lightly towards the empress. "I naturally know this. As long as the Fifth Prince does his job well, I will naturally not treat him unfairly."

"Your majesty, the Fifth Prince has always listened to you the most since he was young. He works hard at studying all day just so that he can help you share some of the burden." In any case, the empress had plotted for the Fifth Prince.

He heard that the empress had been trying to get close with him all day long, contacting the ministers of the court to help him out, and had constantly written down orders for Yuwen Di to make the Fifth Prince his Crown Prince. Yuwen Di had already started to fear the Empress's mother's family, but he never expected her to not know how to restrain herself, and she actually became even more serious.

Yuwen Di had long hated the empress's words, before she could finish, he waved his hands at her and said, "Since the empress is here today, I suddenly remembered something and want to discuss it with his."

The empress thought it was something important and quickly nodded towards the emperor. She smiled and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty has anything to say to chenqie, but please feel free to say it. Chenqie will do her best."

Yuwen Di hesitated for a moment, then looked the Empress in the eye and said: "Empress, you are the master of the harem, so all the children in the palace have to respectfully address you as their mother. You see, Thirteen is already very old, she and the Chu Yang of the Mu family are considered childhood friends, if you get the chance, go and discuss this matter with the Prince's Wife Mo, and settle the matter regarding the two children's marriage, you and I will not have to worry about the both of them anymore."

When the Empress heard that Yuwen Di was doing it for Duan Yunfei, her expression immediately turned ugly. But she still blinked her eyes, withdrew the expression on her face without batting an eyelid, and nodded towards Yuwen Di: "Your Majesty said something important, and chenqie has always been thinking about this matter. But Thirteenth Princess has a very good personality, and he doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. If these two were to get married, who knows how far the sky and earth would turn inside the palace. "

As the Empress spoke, she lifted her head and gave Yuwen Di a probing glance. Therefore, this matter, I ask that Your Majesty reconsider. "

Hearing the Empress's words, Yuwen Di couldn't help but raise his head and look at her meaningfully. His eyes seemed to have a myriad of sharp blades.
