Chapter 48

In the third year of Zhaoning, the Khitan raided the border of the Zheng'an Dynasty, captured Yingzhou City, and slaughtered thousands of people in the city, causing countless deaths and injuries.Duan Xiaoyao, the youngest brother of Emperor Zhaoning, set out to fight in his brother's place and led his cavalry to recapture Yingzhou City within two days. Thousands of Khitans, including the Khitan Great Khan's younger brother, were completely wiped out, leaving no one alive. The Khitan people were hit hard, and the Khitan Great Khan led the tribesmen to go far to the north, and Zheng'an border has no worries for several years.

Xiaoyao Wang was highly praised by the court, and he was even more popular among the people, especially the people in the border cities that had been invaded by Khitan for many years were very grateful to him, but Ren Zhi didn't care much about them.He only does what he should do and what he wants to do, but he doesn't bother to care about what other people think.

Shortly after returning to the palace, Duan Yixian adopted Ren Ping as his daughter, named Duan Qingya, titled Princess Shaohua, was raised by Xiaoyao Wang Renzhi on his behalf, and lived in two places in Xiaoyao Wangfu and the palace.

Duan Yixian ordered people to prepare to leave the side hall in Funing Hall, and arranged for a wet nurse and servants to help take care of the little princess. Ren Ping officially moved into the palace, and Ren Zhi lay in front of the cradle, staring at Ren Ping's little face After a long time, Duan Yixian finally couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull Ren Zhi over, and whispered in his ear, "You have been with her for so many days, and now you have finally returned to the palace, should you also accompany me?"

Ren Zhi glanced at him with a smile, bent down and kissed Ren Ping on the face, raised his head and told the wet nurse, "She usually wakes up once in the night because she is hungry. If there is any other situation, go to Xiao Ping and call him." calls me."

The nurse looked at Duan Yixian timidly, then lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take good care of the little princess."

Duan Yixian looked back at Xiao Ping, "You take a look here, if you have any needs, you can make your own preparations, and you don't need to report to me."

Xiao Ping nodded knowingly, knowing what His Majesty meant, he didn't want to be disturbed by anyone tonight, so he winked at the two little eunuchs behind him, and the two little eunuchs followed Duan Yixian and Ren Zhi back to the inner hall obediently.

The two young eunuchs were all trained by Xiao Ping. They had winking eyes, few words, and a very submissive attitude towards Ren Zhi. Naturally, Duan Yixian couldn't be picky if he pleased Ren Zhi.Ren Zhi and Duan Yixian entered the door, and the two young eunuchs closed the door from the outside, leaving only the two of them in the hall.

On the way back to Beijing, the two of them had no chance to get close because they brought Ren Ping with them. Now that Ren Ping was finally settled, there were only two people left before the palace door was closed. Duan Yixian turned around abruptly and locked Ren Zhi's waist with both hands. , bowed his head and kissed.The passionate kiss made Ren Zhi's body respond quickly, his hands unconsciously penetrated into Duan Yixian's shirt, and rubbed on his hot skin.Duan Yixian paused, his lips left Ren Zhi's, kissed his earlobe, and whispered in his ear, "I never want to give you a chance to leave me for such a long time."

Ren Zhi felt that his whole body was weak, the corners of his mouth were turned up, panting/breathing: "Your Majesty must not miss important things for the sake of appearance."

Duan Yixian chuckled lightly, "Then I'd like to try the short night and delay the morning court."

With nimble fingers, he untied Ren Zhi's outer robe, stripped off all his clothes, and threw them aside casually, and pressed Ren Zhi's whole body on the desk beside him, bullying him onto it.

The two had been intimate all night, but Duan Yixian got up from the bed early the next morning to go to court. He let him torment him all night before falling asleep. When Duan Yixian got up together, he felt a chill, Opening his sleepy eyes, he glanced at Duan Yixian hazily.

Duan Yixian was putting on his jacket lightly, seeing him open his eyes, he couldn't help but bent over and kissed him on the lips, "You don't have to go this morning, so you can sleep and wait for me to come back to have dinner together. "

Ren Zhi fell asleep again in a daze, not realizing what Duan Yixian just said, turned over and wrapped himself with a quilt.Duan Yixian looked funny, shook his head, covered his exposed feet, pulled back the curtain, and called Xiao Ping in to help him change.

Xiao Ping came over with the crown robe, turned his head and saw Duan Yixian still had a smile on his lips, and couldn't help but say, "These days, I finally see that His Majesty is in a better mood."

Duan Yixian looked at him with a smile, "I didn't lose my temper a few days ago, did I?"

"That's not true." Xiao Ping said while helping Duan Yixian to dress, "Your Majesty seldom loses his temper, but these days when the Prince is away, His Majesty's overall mood is not high, seldom like today. Always smiling. His Majesty may not be aware of it, but those of us around us can most notice that when the prince is around, His Majesty is generally in a good mood."

Duan Yixian raised his hand and touched the corner of his lips, shook his head, looked back at the tightly covered bed, and then smiled, "I feel at ease when he is by my side, otherwise I have to worry about him all day long." Are you doing well outside, will you be injured, how can you be in a good mood?"

Xiao Ping responded with a smile, "Your Majesty is blessed with great destiny, and with His Majesty's blessing and favor, he will naturally live a long life."

Duan Yixian glanced at Xiao Ping with a smile, and asked casually, "How was Ping'er last night, did you make trouble?"

"The little princess is very obedient. The nanny said that she has never seen such a good child as a princess. She is beautiful and obedient. She will go to bed obediently when she is full. She will not cry or make trouble. They all like it very much." Xiao Ping substituted for Duan Yixian. After he tied up his hair and put on his crown, he bent down and straightened his robe.

Duan Yixian nodded, "Since this is the case, you should use your heart. I will reward you for taking good care of the little princess." After straightening out his robe, Duan Yixian turned and walked out. After walking a few steps, he looked back at Xiao Ping, "Let him Let him continue to sleep there, and have dinner with him after I go down."

The busy emperor ordered everything he could think of, and went to court with great pains, while Prince Xiaoyao fell asleep comfortably in the emperor's bedroom with a quilt in his arms.

In the court hall, he was caught in an argument, and he couldn't leave the court for a long time. It was Ren Zhixian who woke up first. He rubbed his eyes, turned his eyes around, and remembered that he had returned to Beijing, and now he was lying on the dragon bed. , shaking his head, let him lift the bed curtain and get out of bed.The little eunuch beside Hou Zai greeted him, put his middle coat on Ren Zhi, Ren Zhi looked out the window, frowned and said, "What time is it?"

"Go back to the prince, it's six o'clock." The little eunuch replied.

"Your Majesty hasn't come down yet?" Ren Zhi put on his middle clothes, walked to the window and looked.

The little eunuch followed with his robe, "I have something to discuss at the court today, so I haven't been able to leave the court until now. Director Xiao sent someone back to say that if the prince wakes up, he can eat first without waiting for His Majesty."

Ren Zhi let the little eunuch wait for him to put on his robe, "Forget it, let's wait for His Majesty to come back together. How is Pinger, I'll go and see her first." Ren Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed his sore waist, went to I left the side hall.

When he arrived at the door, Ren Zhi saw a few servants standing outside the door, and after a quick glance, he recognized that they were not from Funing Palace, but from Yiyuan Palace. He frowned and turned around and asked, "Yes?" Who's coming?"

The little eunuch woke up in the morning and waited for Ren Zhi to wake up. He didn't know who came to the side hall, so he could only shake his head, and Ren Zhi glanced at the servants before turning around and entering the hall.

He saw Ashina Lan standing aside with a smile, and Prince Duan Bingzheng lying on a low stool in front of Ren Ping's cradle.Ren Zhi put away his emotions and said, "So it's the emperor's wife."

Ashinalan pointed at Duan Bingzheng, "It's Zhi'er, I heard that a little sister came to Funing Palace, she woke up very restless early in the morning, and quarreled with me to bring him over to play."

Duan Bingzheng turned around and opened his arms towards Ren Zhi, "Uncle Huang, Zhi'er hasn't seen you for a long time."

Ren Zhi picked him up from the low stool, kissed his little face, "Little Huangshu hasn't seen Zhi'er for a long time."

Duan Bingzheng put his arm around Ren Zhi's neck, and leaned his head on his shoulder, "Uncle Xiao Huang said you went to fight, what is the war for, is it fun?"

Ren Zhi reached out and tapped his forehead, "Wars are not fun at all. If possible, I hope I never have to fight again."

Duan Bingzheng looked at Ren Zhi with some puzzlement, but after all, he turned his head and pointed to Ren Ping who was blinking his big eyes in the cradle and looking out curiously, "Is this my sister?"

Ren Zhi nodded, "Yes, my sister is still young and can't speak yet. If Zhi'er is free in the future, he can often visit her and play with her."

"Then can Zhi'er live in Funing Palace with her younger sister?" Duan Bingzheng asked again.

Ren Zhi raised his eyes to look at Ashinalan, shook his head, "Zhi'er is the son of your mother, so he will live in Yiyuan Hall to accompany your mother."

Duan Bingzheng glanced back at Ashinalan, then at Ren Zhi, "Then Zhi'er is also the son of the father, shouldn't he be with the father?"

Ren Zhi was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to answer, Ashinalan stretched out his hand and tapped Duan Bingzheng's forehead, "Because your father is the emperor and has to deal with a lot of things every day. You should listen to your master and learn more. In the future Help your father to share more, so that your father can have time."

Duan Bingzheng agreed with a vague understanding, slipped from Ren Zhi's arms to the ground, climbed onto the low stool again, and continued to hold the cradle to look at Ren Ping. Ren Ping looked at Duan Bingzheng curiously for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, Squeezing his face, Duan Bingzheng raised his hand to hold Ren Ping's little hand, and turned to Ren Zhidao happily, "Sister is so small, her hands are soft."

Ren Zhi responded casually, and raised his eyes to look at Ashina Lan, "The emperor's brother is busy with state affairs, and the emperor's sister-in-law has to take care of Zhi'er by herself. It's really hard work."
