No more fairy tales, the wind rises in the harem

A year has passed since the Northern Border Army fought with Dayu and Beiyan.

This year, Xiao Tingsheng devoted himself to imparting the art of war, military affairs, and martial arts he knew to Xiao Xin. He did not expect him to become the second Emperor Wujing, but at least he could pass these things on to his son, hoping to be able to employ people. No doubt, no doubts, the soldiers can avoid the tragedy of the former Changlin Mansion.

A year passed, and it was time to return to Beijing to report on their duties. The Xiao brothers packed up and returned to Beijing with Brother Fei Liu, who had been discovered by the reborn Xiao Tingsheng long ago, and a few personal soldiers.

Back outside the capital city, there were servants waiting for a long time, they dismounted to receive the order, His Majesty allowed them to go back to the mansion to freshen up first, and then enter the palace to face the saint.They hurriedly thanked each other, they broke up, one returned to Changlin Palace, the other returned to East Palace, Fei Liu flew away towards Changlin Palace at the moment Xiao Xin returned to East Palace.

After the two brothers cleaned up quickly at home, Xiao Tingsheng entered the palace before he even had time to see his wife and children; as for Xiao Xin, he also entered the palace without seeing his concubine.

The two brothers met at the gate of the palace, greeted each other, entered the palace gate together, and went straight to the Yangju Hall to face the saint.

Today, His Majesty Xiao Jingyan had already received a notification from the two children, and hurriedly called for quick announcement, and the two sons entered the palace together.

The two knelt down and kowtowed to His Majesty, and said: "My son respectfully asks Father, Emperor for peace!"

His Majesty asked them to get up, and began to ask about the military situation in the northern border.The two brothers' debriefing was very long. At noon, when His Majesty was preparing to give them a meal, the Palace of Mercy sent a message saying that His Majesty the Empress Dowager and the Central Palace had prepared lunch for the father and son.Please Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Changlin move to the Palace of Mercy for dinner.

His Majesty thought for a while and said, "Move to the Palace of Mercy."

The crown prince and King Changlin said, "Observe the decree."

When the father and son arrived at the Palace of Mercy, the maid hurriedly informed that His Majesty had arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Changlin Wang had arrived.When they entered the main hall of the Ciren Palace, they greeted Empress Dowager Jing first, then Empress Liu led everyone to greet Her Majesty, and the prince and King Changlin greeted Empress Liu again.

After everyone has paid their respects, Empress Dowager Jing will give seats to others after Her Majesty sits down.At this time, the father and son discovered that not only Queen Mother Jing and Queen Liu were there, but also Concubine Changlin Zhou, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Meng Shi, Mrs. Lin Shi and their children were also there.

Empress Dowager Jing said: "This is a family banquet, so you don't have to be polite!" Then she called the maids to serve.Although Empress Dowager Jing said so, how can His Majesty truly relax in the presence of everyone!

After the meal, His Majesty thought that Xiao Tingsheng hadn't seen his children and nephews, and Xiao Xin hadn't seen his nephews either; so he told Empress Dowager Jing to let the two brothers rest for a long time and report back tomorrow, and he went back to his care first. Rest in the palace.

The two brothers quickly thanked, and then Empress Liu led everyone to send off to His Majesty.

Empress Liu got a signal from Empress Dowager Jing, and called the nurses to bring the children out, and the two brothers approached the children.

Empress Liu introduced: "This is General Lu's son, Yuan'er, this is General Meng's daughter, Yingniang, this is Shenger your own son, named Pingjing by Your Majesty, and this is General Lin's daughter, Qingniang. "

The two brothers were amazed. It turned out that Pingzhang was the year before Yuan'er was born, and Mrs. Meng had to wait three years before giving birth to her daughter Qianxue. The daughters of Pingjing and Lin's family were even younger than Xiao Yuanqi. .In this life, Pingzhang and the daughter of the Meng family were born together. A year later, Pingjian and the daughter of the Lin family were also born together. Except for Xiao Yuanqi, wouldn't everyone be there!Is it the butterfly effect again?

The two brothers looked at Zhonggong at the same time, Empress Liu blinked and said, "Don't worry, the gift for the children is ready!"

The maids of Zhonggong Ming came out with gifts, all of which were longevity locks, jade ruyis and so on.

The concubine Zhou and the three wives hurriedly expressed their gratitude. Her Majesty the Empress Dowager and Zhong Gong said with a smile that if you want to thank you, you can thank the two Highnesses. They are just preparing gifts for you!

Princess Zhou and the three wives quickly thanked the two Highnesses.

Seeing that it was getting late, Empress Dowager Jing signaled Zhong Gong to lead the crowd to retreat, and she was going to rest.

Empress Liu led the crowd to retreat, and when they got out of the gate of Ciren Palace, Zhonggong said: "Princess Changlin and the three wives must be tired, go back to the mansion first, and bring the children to pay their respects some other day."

They withdrew.Zhonggong signaled the two Highnesses to come back to Zhengyang Palace with her for a reunion.
