The Emperor's Sister-in-law

Zhao Su was stunned for a moment. Why did the emperor not be able to see the brother and sister when they came back?

She still had confidence in the emperor. "To be honest, the emperor has promised to come to see me, so he will definitely come."

After saying that, she stood up: "Aunt Chen remember to prepare. My father will come to pick you up tonight. I will go to the yamen to answer the yamen, so I won't leave much."

Chen Han sent her out and saw that she got on the carriage that Hua Xiangrong rushed over, and stopped.

On the way to the Yamen, there was still a bustling crowd that was different from usual. It turned out that it was not only because of today's Chinese Valentine's Day, but also because of the return of Marquis Weiyuan and Princess Yanping.

These two names are well-known, but in fact, it is only now that they realize that their status is indeed extraordinary. In addition to the identity of the royal relative, the eldest princess' contribution during her lifetime is undoubtedly also a bonus.

The carriage walked straight to the palace. Zhao Su didn't plan to go, but he still turned to the Ministry of Rites.

She believed that the emperor would not break his promise. He once clearly said that Princess Yanping was just his cousin, so she had no reason to think randomly and create unnecessary worries.

Cheng Zhuyun will come to report today. She doesn't have her job yet, but it is necessary to get her to familiarize herself with the scope of her duties.

The news that Marquis of Weiyuan entered the city was long before Duan Shu sent people to the palace to report.

At just around noon, in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor summoned Huo Xiu. Huo Mingyu was welcomed by the eunuch from the Cining Palace to the harem.

The king and his ministers met according to the etiquette, so the emperor led him to the side hall to speak. There must be a greeting first, and then the emperor asked: "How did it arrange it in Guangxi?"

"As the emperor's letter, four deputy commanders in the camp took turns to defend the formation. Yu Ze and Chen transferred back two of my cousins ​​to assist in military affairs."

The emperor nodded: "Guangxi had been in constant friction with Nanyue in his early years. After the battle more than ten years ago, they finally defeated their vitality, but they should not be taken lightly. They were always unfamiliar wolves and they had to jump around from time to time."

"Last year, someone tried to cross the border and let the brothers guarding the border go back. Such small frictions are always inevitable. On the other hand, they also sounded the alarm for the soldiers guarding the border, so as not to become numb after a long time."

The emperor signaled him to have tea: "You like Lu'an melon slices. Try it."

Huo Xiu tasted it as he said, and then said, "Last year, the emperor also gave me a few cans, but I still have one left.

The emperor smiled: "It's just that I thought you like it, so I just sent it with someone. It's worth it? The tea will not be delicious after being left for a long time."

Huo Xiu smiled: "The emperor treats his ministers with deep affection, so how can he be limited by the constant limit? Even if he really can't drink it, he will not be willing to throw it away."

The emperor nodded and looked at his hazy face: "For the sake of the princess, these days have you not stopped?"

As soon as he turned to the topic, Huo Xiu's expression gradually faded: "If you don't hide it from the emperor, this has become my heart disease. I can't find this broken armor, and I have no face to treat my mother's heroic spirit."

"I have appointed Marquis of Jingnan to assist you in thoroughly investigating this case. He will come to you in the future. You can go to Dali Temple to inquire about the progress tomorrow."

"Thank you for your grace!"

Huo Xiu knelt down and thanked him.

The emperor stood up, patted his arm and said, "Let's go and meet the Queen Mother. She is looking forward to you!"

...

In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Lu and Huo Mingyu have already started chatting.

"Guangxi is naturally not as good as the capital, but the people are simple and friendly. I have been used to it after two or three months. But I often miss the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and Yu'er are not around to serve you. Are you okay recently?"

"It's OK." Empress Dowager Lu smiled, "If you are not by my side, I have done a lot of things. First of all, I will complete the emperor's lifelong affairs. These days, your princess is by my side."

Huo Mingyu paused: "Sister-in-law?"

"Yes," Empress Dowager Lu looked at her and suddenly said, "Yes! You are staying in the border area, probably not knowing that the emperor is about to get married. The emperor has appointed the lady of the Qingyun Marquis' Mansion as the queen, and the wedding date is set, next year.

"You said your brother was really at the beginning. What's wrong with staying here? You have to take you over. You grew up with the emperor, like a brother and sister, and you couldn't help him with such a big deal.

"I'm not allowed to leave when I come back this time. I can't agree to anything your brother said. I can't bear to let my daughter go to the remote area to suffer, but he's willing to let her go!

"When I slowly find a good man for you, make a marriage, stay in the capital, and never go anywhere!"

"The Queen Mother..."

Huo Mingyu was a little stunned.

Empress Dowager Lu said, "But you can guess that your brother's stubborn temper must have to grind me. He is not afraid, he wants to compete with me, and I even point out his marriage together!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't hide her pride: "What a good idea! It's me, I'm smart!"

Huo Mingyu looked at her and couldn't help but smile. "Yes, the Empress Dowager is the founding queen of the wise and divine martial arts!"

"My mouth is still so sweet!" Empress Dowager Lu couldn't help but pinch her face lightly. Her eyes fell on her face, and her smile gradually stopped. With a sigh, she said, "I really look like your mother as I grow up. How great would it be if she was still there and you who grew up and see the stable situation of this country."

"The Queen Mother."

Sadness also rose in Huo Mingyu's eyes.

Empress Dowager Lu asked, "Have you been to the ancestral hall just now?"

"Because I was anxious to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, I had not had time to go."

"We have to go. She is looking forward to it."

Huo Mingyu nodded deeply.

The curtains on this side sounded, and Gao Shu came in: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and Marquis of Weiyuan have arrived."

"Passing in."

After the words came, two men, who were also tall and handsome, walked in.

The emperor called out "Mother Queen", and the backward Huo Xiu lifted his robe and knelt down on the side of the curtain: "My minister Huo Xiu pays homage to the Queen Mother!"

"Get up!"

Empress Dowager Lu hurriedly waved: "I've been traveling thousands of miles to Beijing, and I'm all my family here, so why are you obsessed with these things?"

Huo Xiu stood up, followed behind the emperor, and called out with a smile: "Auntie."

"Good boy!" Empress Dowager Lu looked at him with a smile, "It's getting stronger and stronger, like your father. As expected, I'm a hero, not to mention both parents! - Gao Shu, go and pass on all the food prepared in the kitchen, and then pass on the order to prepare meals! Go back and hold a banquet in the Imperial Garden."

"Abide by the order!"

Gao Shu stepped down loudly, and Huo Mingyu knelt down to the emperor and saluted: "My sister, please see the emperor."

"Sit!" The emperor sat down and looked at her, smiled and said to Empress Dowager Lu: "It seems a little darker, and it's a little thinner!"

Empress Dowager Lu angrily said, "Can you not be black or thin? You insist on riding a horse into Beijing along the way."

"No wonder." The emperor said. He showed his fan: "But you are not afraid. Your sister-in-law is good at cooking and can help you nourish your skin. She will cure yourself beautifully all day long. If you come back, you will ask her for advice."
