Chapter 764: A stab in the heart!
Queen Mother
Lin Shian was stunned for a moment, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your trust."
"I wonder if the general has heard of the incident involving the Jinzhou rebel Chang Weihao?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I just found out about it yesterday." Yesterday, after chatting with officials from the Honglu Temple, I learned that such a big mess had occurred in Jinzhou in the past six months.
During this war, Zhou Yuqi's son Zhou Yiqing became a young general and made great military achievements!
Today, when Zhou Yuqi and Wei Shuying came to congratulate him, he also congratulated Zhou Yuqi.
The three agreed to meet again in a few days.
But, why did His Royal Highness Prince Chen bring up this matter?
Xiao Chen said, "General, the Emperor has given you a reward for your military exploits, but my mother prepared some small gifts for a few close friends of mine. I hope you won't despise them."
Lin Shian's breath was choked.
Did Su Yun also prepare a gift for him?
"How could this be? I am so terrified. How could I trouble the Empress Dowager to worry about me?"
"Not just you, the Duke's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion also have them."
Lin Shian breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but laugh at himself. Did he really think she would treat him differently?
He had no place in front of the Queen Mother. After all, even Rong Xun didn't get a place.
"Then I would like to thank the Queen Mother for the reward."
"They are not rewards, but Jiangnan specialties, small items, floating brocade and other useless things."
"I am deeply grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Xiao Chen opened his mouth. General Lin was really - extremely cautious.
He clearly stressed again and again that it was just his mother's kindness to her close friend and it was not a reward or anything like that, but Lin Shian seemed to be extra cautious.
That's it.
Anyway, General Lin was the one promoted by his father, and he absolutely supported Yao'er's policies, so he couldn't say anything else.
Then, Xiao Chen called Jian Wu over, and arranged for Jian Wu to prepare the gifts in front of Lin Shian, and then send them directly to the general's mansion.
Next, there was singing and dancing.
Xiao Yao drank a few more cups and then waved to Xie Yunchu.
Xie Yunchu stood up and walked over, clasping his fists and saying, "Your Majesty?"
"I'm drunk." She touched with her hand, but found nothing. Xie Yunchu had no choice but to move forward and let her support him.
Xiao Yao stood up and gave Tang An some instructions, then said to the ministers, "My dear ministers, today is a happy day, you can drink as much as you want, tomorrow's morning court session can be extended for two hours."
All the ministers stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yao walked away with the support of Xie Yunchu.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty..."
Seeing that her sister had left, Xiao Zhenzhen took the wine glass and went to find her brother, and toasted Lin Shian by the way.
Lin Shian already knew that Xiao Zhenzhen had been named King of Yue and would soon be setting out to conquer Yuecheng State. He looked at her with great satisfaction and said, "I wish His Royal Highness the King of Yue a victorious return!"
"Thank you for your kind words, General." Xiao Zhenzhen held up the wine glass and drank it all with Lin Shian.
Xiao Chen saw Xiao Zhenzhen drinking one cup after another. If she continued drinking, she would be drunk soon. So he looked at Ying'er and Zhongfu and asked them to take the King of Yue away quickly.
Zhongfu, Ying'er understood and immediately came over to take the person away.
Xiao Zhenzhen smiled and said, "General Lin, see you again."
She just turned her head and bumped into Zhou Yiqing's arms. She smiled and wanted to reach out to touch Zhou Yiqing's face, but was stopped by the young man, who then pulled her out of Deyuan Hall.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the ministers are leaving one after another. If they see Your Highness in this state, people will spread gossip." Ying'er reminded in a low voice.
Xiao Zhenzhen frowned and said while pulling Zhou Yiqing, "Who, who dares!"
Ying'er: "..."
Zhongfu: "Your Highness, please go back to the palace first. You are drunk." At least once they return to the palace, Your Highness will not be able to say dirty words or take advantage of General Zhou.
Anyway, General Zhou was very tolerant of the prince.
Anyway, they will get married sooner or later, as long as they don't make a fool of themselves in public.
"Who, who said that I was drunk?" Xiao Zhenzhen was a martial artist after all, so she pushed Ying'er away in an instant.
Ying'er pursed her lips and looked at Zhongfu and Zhou Yiqing with grievance.
Zhou Yiqing took a deep breath, looked at Zhongfu and said, "Go and prepare the carriage."
"Yes."
Ying'er was about to speak when Zhou Yiqing said, "You go too."
Ying'er: "..."
"Yes."
After Zhongfu and Ying'er were sent away, Zhou Yiqing frowned and said, "Zhen'er, if you are obedient, I will listen to you later. You can do whatever you want, but now..."
Zhou Yiqing had already seen that the ministers were walking out of Deyuan Hall one after another. The most terrible thing was that his father, General Wei, and General Lin came together.
"Now what?"
"It's not convenient now, just listen to me, and I'll listen to you later."
Do you listen to her?
"Then I want a kiss..."
Zhou Yiqing quickly covered her mouth and pulled her away. Even though Xiao Zhenzhen was unhappy, she would not argue with Zhou Yiqing.
She happily let Zhou Yiqing pull her. Under the influence of alcohol, she felt dizzy and excited.
Zhou Yuqi just saw Zhou Yiqing going to find His Royal Highness the King of Yue.
This scene in Deyuan Hall was like seeing that brat actually dared to drag His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue and run away. He wanted to shout but didn't dare.
Wei Shuying said, "The one who just pulled His Royal Highness the Prince of Yue seemed to be your son."
Zhou Yuqi smiled slightly.
Lin Shian hung crookedly on Wei Shuying's shoulder, "You still have the mood to tease Yu Qi?"
Wei Shuying: “…”
Zhou Yuqi said, "You should think about how to explain this to Madam Ling when you get back. I'm afraid she's already crying her heart out."
Wei Shuying opened her mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.
Ever since hearing the news of the great victory at the border, Hillya had become dull, sensitive and depressed.
As her husband, he should naturally feel sorry for her and comfort her.
But as a general of an enemy country, the desert is the enemy country, and defeat is inevitable, so he should cheer.
Zhou Yuqi saw Wei Shuying's expression and quickly called the eunuch over, "Send General Wei away."
Judging from the way he drank heavily at the table just now, he was clearly struggling internally.
There was also Lin Shian. As a victorious general, he could only look at the toasts from the emperor and the two princes and offer them some courtesy. However, he drank the wine from everyone else one by one. Anyway, except for him, the other three people were all staggering and quite drunk.
"Yes." The young eunuch came over to support him, "General Wei, please come this way."
Wei Shuying hesitated to speak, sighed, and said to Lin Shian, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Let's meet again some other day."
Lin Shian smiled slightly.
Wei Shuying said, "You are not in the capital..." He said halfway and stopped talking. Forget it, let Zhou Yuqi be the bad guy. "Let Governor Zhou tell you."
After saying that, Wei Shuying left with the young eunuch.
Lin Shian looked at Zhou Yuqi.
Zhou Yuqi's lips moved. No, he had no intention of saying it at all. Anyway, Lin Shian would definitely know it after he returned home.
"Well, actually, don't think too much about it. Anyway, it's the same to raise one, two, or four or five. It's not like we can't afford them." Zhou Yuqi felt a little guilty. After all, this was like stabbing Lin Shian right in the heart!
