Saburo heard that his aunt had been waiting outside, and was at a loss for a while.

In fact, after hearing that his maternal grandparents sent his mother's cousin and his aunt into the palace, and they were named virtuous concubines, San Lang didn't know what it was like. The best for their family, I also know that even if there is no aunt, other women from the Gong family will be sent to the palace, but when he thinks that this woman came in instead of his mother, San Lang feels a little uncomfortable taste.

Before he could get into a good mood, he looked up and saw a beauty in palace costume and several palace people waiting on the corridor over there, looking towards the Chengming Palace from time to time, and saw the figure of Sanlang appearing outside the gate of the palace, his face The expression on his face seemed to be looking forward to, but also seemed to be disturbed and annoyed.

Saburo had no choice but to go to the side hall to call out his eldest brother, and then walked slowly towards the woman in palace attire.

"Sanlang..." Concubine Xian looked at the fair and handsome boy with cat ears approaching slowly, covered her mouth, her eyes turned red involuntarily.

"San Lang pays respects to Auntie!" San Lang bowed his hands in salute.

"Get up!" Concubine Xian helped Sanlang up, stared at him with beautiful eyes, cried for a while, and couldn't help laughing for a while, "You really look like elder sister!"

Sanlang's human figure looks more like Concubine Gong, his eyes are especially like their Gong family, looking bright, Concubine Xian grew up with Concubine Gong since childhood, and has a deep affection for this elder sister who is five years older than her. It's just that after the eldest sister married into the palace at the age of 14, the two sisters never met again. Pingnanhou's mansion is too far away from the imperial city, and I thought it would be difficult to see each other again in this life. After the sad news of my sister's death, the world changed its master. Prince Yu ascended the throne as the emperor's younger brother.

And she, because of the right age, was selected into the palace and named a virtuous concubine.

She is not dissatisfied with serving His Majesty. His Majesty is handsome, gentle and considerate, and is the most honorable man in the world. I don't know how many people envy her good luck.

However, the eldest sister died of illness, and the only son heard that he also left the imperial city, and he didn't know where he was going. Concubine Xian once tried to ask her mother's family to help her find her, but she was told that Saburo was well, and asked her not to worry about it, but to serve His Majesty with peace of mind. Strive to give birth to a prince with pure blood as soon as possible.

Concubine Xian did not expect that her nephew, who she thought would be difficult to see again, would come back so soon!and--

"Our Saburo has grown up, and he is so handsome!" Concubine Xian held Saburo's hand and couldn't help crying again.

"Your Majesty, reunion is a good thing. It is rare for the King of Lingjiang to come back. Your Majesty will reward you. I promise you that you can keep Saburo for dinner before leaving the palace. Why don't you invite the King of Lingjiang to return to the palace first?" The waiter next to him said. The big palace lady comforted in a warm voice.

"That's right ~ we'll talk about it when we go back to the palace!" Concubine Xian tightly held on to San Lang's hand and refused to let go.

However, Saburo also saw Concubine Xian's love and care for him, and the discomfort in his heart just now dissipated a lot.

"Auntie, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are still inside, let me say hello to them?" Sanlang was worried that his elder brother would be anxious if he couldn't find him when he came out, so he thought of going to talk to the uncle first, and he also wanted to say hello to his aunt In other words, he knew that his aunt must also want to know about his mother's recent situation.

At this moment, Saburo didn't know that in the Gong family, apart from the old man, the old lady, and his eldest uncle, there was no fourth person who knew that Concubine Gong had not "died of illness".

"What? You, you said elder sister, she is actually still in the world?" In Chonghua Palace, Concubine Xian heard Sanlang say that Concubine Gong did not die of illness, but when she left the palace to live with him, her whole body was in a state of panic. shocked.

"But, but I clearly, clearly saw the elder sister's spirit seat..." Xianfei murmured.

wrong!

She suddenly remembered that when the eldest sister died of illness, she was still in the residence. If she really died of illness, His Majesty ascended the throne. For the sake of the Gong family, why should the eldest sister be named a noble concubine?His Majesty has never issued a decree to posthumously, and she has only paid homage to the elder sister's spiritual throne, and has never been to the elder sister's tomb to sprinkle sacrifices...

"My mother just misses me too much. Besides, she doesn't like life in the palace. Aunt, you don't know. After my mother lives with us, even though she doesn't have the luxury of the palace, she is much happier. You have raised a lot of chickens and ducks." When mentioning his mother, San Lang had a smile on his lips.

Unlike the noble daughters of ordinary families, my mother doesn't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor does she like to paint or paint. What she loves most is traveling in the mountains and rivers. Recently, she also likes raising chickens and ducks. Every morning, there are more than a dozen big roosters in the house Squatting on the top of the wall with his head held high and whistling, every time he provoked him, he couldn't help but want to turn into a prototype and rush over...cough!

"Pfft~ You don't know, your mother raised rabbits when she was a child, but she didn't expect them to be so good. That litter of rabbits gave birth to many little rabbits. In the end, there was nothing I could do, so I had to send them all to Zhuangzi. Don't let us kill and eat them, and say the rabbits are white and cute, and I can't bear to eat them." Talking about the happy time with her eldest sister in childhood, Concubine Xian couldn't help laughing, her eyes were as bright as stars, and Concubine Gong is exactly the same.

"Auntie, as long as you know that my mother is still alive, you must not spread it to the outside world. Since my father has already announced that my mother is gone, if this matter is publicized, I am afraid that my father will lose face. In short, my mother is here Qinghe is doing very well, now I have a title and a fief, and my father even privately gave me an extra fief, ordering me to take care of my mother, so just pretend you don't know anything, and your mother will live well."

"That's right~ how happy the outside world is, how can it be like inside the palace walls..." Concubine Xian's beautiful face was filled with sadness. Which woman would not wish to have a husband who loves and respects her wholeheartedly?However, this kind of love is unthinkable in the inner courtyard of the palace, just like her, no matter how favored she is, she can't surpass the Empress Empress, and she doesn't dare to ask His Majesty to go to her sister's tomb to pay homage...

"Let's not mention that, what is your mother missing over there? Li'er, go quickly and get the little red sandalwood box that I packed up." Concubine Xian instructed her personal maid to take the box that she had prepared a long time ago. The good things were brought over, and they were stuffed into Saburo's hands without any explanation, and asked him to hide them and take them back to Eldest Sister.

"Aunt, what is this?" There was a small lock hanging on the box, Saburo couldn't open it, so he couldn't help looking at Concubine Xian.

"Look at my memory, I've been so busy giving you the box, here, here are the keys." Concubine Xian took a bunch of small keys with necklaces hanging from the palace maid and stuffed them into Saburo's hand, "This is a little aunt's kindness , it’s not easy for you to live in the countryside, I’m afraid that everything will cost money, and when the county prince’s mansion is built, the stewards in the mansion will need monthly money to support them, you are not married yet, it’s not wrong to save more money.”

"When Eldest Sister married into the palace, her family was not like it is now, and she couldn't afford a lot of dowry money. I'm afraid there isn't much left over these years. Be good, Saburo, these things are saved by my aunt herself. You take it back, at least you can make some money for the family."

"Aunt~ I-I can't accept this!" Saburo refused with a blushing face.

"Be obedient! Take it! From birth to growing up, your aunt has never bought you a single gift. There was no way in the past. If you finally come here, my aunt will give you all the gifts that I owe you all these years. You're done, it's a matter of your mind."

"Don't worry, I live in this palace. Every plant, tree, meal, and tea are all from the palace. Your Majesty often rewards you. Your natal family is also in the imperial city. Are you afraid that your aunt will be short of money to spend?" Is it you? Where is Qinghe when you go so far away? My aunt has never heard of it! You are young, and you have to take care of your mother and support your family. How is this a life of a prince? Empress is too cruel!" Concubine Xian couldn't help complaining about Empress Empress as she spoke.

"Your Majesty!" The close maid turned pale with fright.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Sanlang, tell me again, did your mother mention me?" Concubine Xian looked at Sanlang expectantly.

"Eh~" Saburo was a little embarrassed for a moment, because his mother never mentioned a single word of his mother's family these years. People and things in the palace.

"Didn't you mention us at all?" Concubine Xian's expectant eyes dimmed instantly.

That's right, when the elder sister was in such a difficult time in the palace, the family couldn't help anything, and she had to support herself in the back house of the palace. Even Sanlang was sent to another courtyard by the princess, and he couldn't go to the prince to intercede.

Come to think of it, elder sister must be very disappointed with them, right?So much so that after leaving the palace, she never even returned to her mother's house, let alone sent a single word back...

"Sanlang, the family is sorry for Elder Sister..." Thinking of this, Concubine Xian lowered her head in shame, tears fell instantly.

"Auntie, the matter is over. Mother never mentions my grandfather's house. Thinking about it, I don't want to cause any trouble for my grandfather and uncles." Sanlang paused, and whispered in Concubine Xian's ear, "Actually, Daddy Uncle once sent someone to find me and secretly gave me 5000 taels of silver notes."

"Brother must feel that he has no face to see elder sister, so he secretly sent someone to find you?" Concubine Xian burst into tears, but couldn't help nagging a few words, "In that case, if I give you these things, you will Don't tell the eldest sister, keep it secretly, just say that you earned it yourself, and slowly supplement it to the family. If the elder sister finds out, I'm afraid she won't want it."

"That, that's fine! Thank you, auntie!" Sanlang had no choice but to accept the small box. Seeing that Concubine Xian was still worried, he pulled her and slowly sorted out the interesting details of their mother and son's life in Qinghe County. After talking about it in detail, it wasn't until it was getting late that he went out of the palace together with the other things that the concubine Xian bestowed on him to look for his elder brother without mentioning it.

While Sanlang was talking to Concubine Xian, His Majesty the Emperor was also talking to Wang Kunfeng in the Chengming Hall, but one can see from the expressions of the father and son that the content of their conversation should not be pleasant.

"Niezi! Is this the way you talk to your father?" His Majesty the Emperor scolded with a cold face.

"Didn't Your Majesty know that his son has such a temper? But yes, His Royal Highness is taught by his own father, so he is naturally loyal, filial, benevolent, and extraordinary. Unlike me, who has no father and no mother, he is naturally a wild monster who does not know how to behave... ..." Wang Kunfeng sneered.

As soon as Uncle Cat got angry, he refused to call "Father Emperor" and called him His Majesty directly.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor was furious, and habitually picked up the teacup at hand and threw it at him.

However, he was afraid that he had forgotten that the eldest son in front of him had always been lawless, so why would he stand there and let him beat and scold him?Wang Kunfeng dodged to avoid the oncoming teacup, with a trace of impatience on his face.

"Your Majesty, just say what you have. If you play charades like this, my son hasn't read a few books. I really don't know the meaning of your words. If you don't say anything, the son will leave? It's getting late, and the son should Take the county princess back to the post house to rest, and there will be no hot water to take a bath any later."

"You, you, you..." His Majesty the Emperor pointed at him tremblingly, almost getting angry at Parkinson.

But I couldn't find anything to reprimand him.

What Wang Kunfeng said is correct. Over the years, his father has indeed not cared enough for him and Saburo. The children in the mansion are invited to teach them all are great Confucian scholars, and from time to time they have to participate in various literary meetings and poetry competitions for the children of the rich and powerful. Will wait, only Wang Kunfeng and Sanlang lived in other courtyards since they were young, and no one ever thought of hiring a husband for the two of them. Wang Kunfeng can read a few words and it is already good. What else can he ask for?

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help feeling dissatisfied with the gentle and virtuous Queen.He has a lot of affairs to deal with, so naturally he can't consider the children's affairs well. As the lord of the harem, the empress was also the hostess of the palace when she was hiding in the mansion. How could she not even handle this bowl of water?

Thinking of all the hints he had just made, Wang Kunfeng always had an expression of "I can understand all the words you said, but I don't know what they mean when you put them together", and he was almost laughed out of anger.

That's all!Let's put it more plainly~ This kid probably really doesn't understand, and he didn't mean to annoy him.

"On the coast of the East China Sea, the country of Hanlan, which is separated from our Chao Strait, has repeatedly pretended to be pirates to harass the border. The fishermen are unbearable, and the catch is greatly reduced. This has caused the price of seafood catches in the imperial city to increase greatly. Ten years ago A catty of sea crabs was transported to the imperial city, but only two hundred copper plates, and now even five taels of silver per catty can only buy average-quality sea crabs, let alone those big fish in the sea. Years after year, we submitted papers in the court hall, asking the court to send troops to attack the Hanlan Kingdom, but it is a pity that the first emperor was indecisive and refused to make a decision on this matter."

"Now that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, there are a large number of half-demons who are idle at home and have nothing to do. Instead of letting them stay in the country and cause trouble, I thought, it would be better to find a family for them."

"I have already negotiated with the royal family that the main purpose of the court's conscription is to recruit a group of half-demons who are good at water warfare. If anyone volunteers to join the army, he will be given a household registration booklet. Those who have made meritorious service will be rewarded like ordinary soldiers. Great achievements have been made to the country, and it is not a problem to crack the soil and become a marquis, and to add officials to the ranks."

"You mean to let your son join the army?" Wang Kunfeng curled his lips, not interested in this proposal at all. He is a half-demon who is preparing to get married, and he has never worried about his livelihood. Why do you go to serve as a soldier so well?What are you talking about cracking the earth to seal the marquis, he is now the king of Qinghe County, okay?Can you still give him a prince?Even if His Majesty agrees, maybe the clan will not agree, right?

"Nonsense! I asked you to go to be a nobody?" His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, "Those half-monsters are used to being unruly, if you send some pure-blooded monsters to command them, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. When there was a commotion, Bie Hanlan didn't succeed, but it brought us a half-demon rebel army."

"It's good that you know." Wang Kunfeng smiled unkindly in his stomach.

"So, I plan to ask you to lead an Eastern Expeditionary Army to capture the few islands closest to the coast of Hanlan Kingdom first. You know the temper of the clansmen. If I give you a reward for no reason, as long as I'm afraid that those old things will hit the pillars, if you make great contributions, I will also give you a promotion."

"Without the title, my son can live well." Uncle Mao habitually rebelled in front of his father.

"Can you live well without a title?" His Majesty laughed angrily at his words, "I'm afraid you have forgotten the grievances that your mussel essence suffered in Zhengyang Palace today?"

"Now you are just a county king with no real power. Your mother stopped you if she wanted to, and she just found a reason to kill you on the spot. Who can avenge your grievances?"

"However, if you are a prince recognized by your clan, in Zhengyang Palace today, would your mother stop you so unscrupulously?"

"If you hold the military power in your hands, how dare the Imperial Forest Army humiliate you like this?"

Wang Kunfeng lowered his head halfway, looking at his palms that had become rough due to years of hard work, and said nothing.

He always thought that with his own ability and ability, without relying on the royal family, he could take good care of the wet nurse and aunt, as well as protect his mussels, but today, the reality gave him two slaps!

The power he thinks of is nothing in front of the mighty imperial power!Even the nanny around the queen can do whatever they want, because of his arrogance, his pride, and almost killed He Mu!

Of course he knew why that woman stopped them, but he just couldn't see that he was living a good life. The humiliation he brought to her in the past probably would never be repaid in his life. Once he saw him, he couldn't help but think of the humiliation in the past Unwilling, if he hadn't been born as a half-demon back then, how could the Empress Dowager have an excuse to send those two side concubines into the palace?How could she be willing to see him inseparable from He Mu?

Seeing that his expression was a little loose, the emperor sighed secretly. If possible, he would not poke his son's wounds with this matter. To the mother and son is simply the mortal enmity in the previous life, and I don't know what kind of evil fate, but this life has become a mother and son!

After a pause, the emperor took out a talisman made of fine iron from his sleeve, pressed the switch, split it into two halves, and stuffed one half into Wang Kunfeng's hand: "Take it! Only with it can you protect the talisman you want. those who are to be protected."

The half tiger talisman that was disassembled, with some edges and corners, was held in the palm of the hand, and the pain from the palm of the hand went all the way to the heart.

He should have known earlier that his biological mother had hated him all his life, and his father, if he didn't want to use him, how could he have given him the tiger talisman?

Fighting across the sea, narrowly escaped death.

Because he was reluctant to send other sons with pure blood to die, so he thought of himself, the son of a half-demon, right?Because he knew that he couldn't refuse such a temptation, even if he risked his life...

Because his life, in his eyes, is worthless!

"Okay! My son takes orders! I will live up to your majesty's entrustment!" After a long time, Wang Kunfeng gripped the tiger talisman tightly and knelt down slowly.

"Still angry? What's your name, Your Majesty? Father!" Seeing that he agreed, the emperor's complexion improved a lot. He walked over to help him up, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "That's good! You You have made meritorious service on the front line, and the emperor will give you a promotion and seal!"

"That matter should not be delayed, Erchen will send Chunsheng and Sanlang back first..." Wang Kunfeng was a little confused, and he didn't know how to explain to his family that they had originally agreed to get married during the New Year's Eve, but in the end An imperial decree delayed the marriage, but now, after receiving the fatal talisman, he dared not mention the marriage with He Peng.

The lifespan of a half-demon is longer than that of mortals. If something happens to him, will his oysters live in pain and sorrow?He can't bear it!

"Don't worry, I have ordered someone to go to Qinghe to pick up your wet nurse and auntie. Conscription is imminent. I'm afraid you don't have time to go back. Just take them all over. After you get married with Chun Sheng, I will meet you." I will give you a general's mansion, and when you go out to fight, let them stay in Qinghe, and I will have someone to take good care of them for you." The emperor smiled and patted the back of his hand.

The blood all over Wang Kunfeng's body became cold in an instant!

This is... If you can't trust him, do you want to detain Chun Sheng and Ah Xie in Beijing as hostages?

"Don't think about it too much, I won't do that kind of thing that would chill the hearts of loyal and good people." The emperor saw his face change instantly, as if thinking of something, he patted his head dumbfoundingly, "It's just that this is the ancestor According to the rules established, the generals must stay in the imperial city while the general is fighting, this is also a kind of protection for them, it is just to prevent the enemy from sending people to assassinate and kidnap them secretly."

"You don't want you to go out to fight, and the family members are always worried about being assassinated?"

"Thank you, Father~It's just Saburo~" Wang Kunfeng reminded Mrs. Gong who was still waiting for Saburo in Qinghe.

"After you get married, Saburo can go back naturally."

"I would like to thank my father for your kindness! It's getting late, and I will leave!" Wang Kunfeng glanced at the emperor and offered to resign.

It could be seen that the eldest son did not want to stay in the palace for the banquet, and the emperor wanted to talk to the queen, so he rewarded some rare medicinal materials and let them go back to the post house first.

The General's Mansion that was bestowed on him would take some time to repair. Before leaving, the emperor generously gave them a garden in the imperial city for a while and ordered them to move there tomorrow.

Wang Kunfeng even accepted the Tiger Talisman, so how could he refuse Yuanzi who doesn't want money?What's more, His Majesty himself often went to play, and the scenery must be very good, so he happily accepted it immediately. I'm afraid their river mussels have never lived in the emperor's garden in this life, so they must live for a while!

He doesn't know what the future will be like now, he only knows that in his lifetime, he will treat his family better, build the general's mansion better, and keep more money, so that even if he has an accident on the battlefield in the future, With these, their Hemu no longer have to work hard to set up a stall outside to make a living.

He is willing to work hard for a better future for them.

However, this does not mean that he will reject those things that should belong to him and should also compensate him!
