Concubine De smiled bitterly, "These words mean that others are flattering me. Why do you, a silly girl, take it seriously?"

"If this palace was really so beautiful, His Majesty would not have given Concubine Xian the right to co-manage the Sixth Palace, nor would he have spent at least half of every month in Weiyang Palace to accompany her and the children. Last month, Your Majesty, Have you come to Changxin Palace once?"

"Today in Huayang Palace, he called Concubine Xian by her name, and he called me by title. His attitude is already obvious."

Mingxin listened and felt sorry for her master.

She was obviously the direct daughter of a wealthy family, but now, she was on an equal footing with a concubine who had just been in the palace for three years.

Not to mention the master, even she felt aggrieved watching from the side.

"The Gu family is very popular, but why does Your Majesty still don't want to see me? Isn't it because I don't have a son of my own yet?"

Having said this, Concubine De felt extremely comfortable in her heart, "Let alone the prince, it is impossible for me to be a princess with my body and bones. Now I can only hope that if anyone in the palace becomes pregnant, I will be able to Raising her children.”

"Even so, I'm still being plotted against."

Ming Xin consoled her, "Your Majesty, the days are long. Don't look at Concubine Xian who is a little proud now. She has no family background and many years of friendship with His Majesty. It will only be a matter of time before she becomes disgusted by His Majesty. Your Majesty is now the one who has been with you the longest. You are a concubine, why are you afraid of her?"

Concubine De didn't say anything else. She picked up the half-made little sock for Wen Jing and continued to work on it. In this huge deep palace, there really was nothing left for those who didn't fight for it.

Not long after this incident passed, Emperor Yinde received good news from the front. Wan Jin defeated Bei Yan, and Shangguan Xiaolin prepared to return to the court.

The moment he read the letter from Shangguan Xiaolin, Emperor Yinde finally let go of his worries for many days.

Half a month later, Shangguan Xiaolin returned to Beijing to resume his duties. Emperor Yinde personally came out of the palace to greet him and held a small banquet in Jinse Hall to entertain his brother-in-law.

It is not appropriate to have a large banquet during a national mourning period, so Emperor Yinde only invited Shangguan Xiaolin's family, Gu Wenkang's family, Concubine De and the second princess Shen Wenjing to attend.

The three brothers and sisters of the Gu family were all gathered together.

Shangguan Xiaolin hugged his son while giving Emperor Yinde's orders, "Beiyan is indeed warlike, but he only has a reckless energy, and his military skills are still lacking. This time, thanks to the constant guidance of the military advisor, Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to defeat Beiyan so quickly.”

"Although I have been studying the art of war for some time, I still feel that what I know is only the tip of the iceberg. I want to call General Wang, the military advisor this time, to have a good discussion with His Majesty and Prime Minister Gu in the next few days."

"This time Beiyan gave up a city. I always felt that it was missing something, and I was too embarrassed to come back to see His Majesty."

After Shangguan Xiaolin said this, everyone laughed.

"After all, this is your first time leading an army in battle. It's already good to have such achievements. I should also fulfill my promise and make you a general. The imperial edict will arrive at my house tomorrow."

After Emperor Yinde finished speaking, Gu Wenkang quickly raised his glass as if in a hurry, "Then I will toast the general first, and ask the general to take care of you in the future."

"Brother, please stop teasing me, come and have a drink." Shangguan Xiaolin raised his glass and gestured to Emperor Yin De and Gu Wenkang, "This glass of wine is for my brother-in-law and brother."

Emperor Yinde picked up the wine glass and drank it down. He felt that Shangguan Xiaolin had grown up. Seeing him so happy that he had done what he wanted to do, he was also happy.

Except for Shangguan Xiaolin, everyone's focus was on the commotion in his arms.

Shijiu was not a quiet master to begin with, and he was still not honest in Emperor Yin De's arms, let alone his own father's arms.

She couldn't even sit on Shangguan Xiaolin's lap. She had to stand on his lap to put down her pouted mouth.

Shangguan Xiaolin was holding his son a little awkwardly, with a nervous look on his face, for fear that he would fall.

But others had smiles on their faces, and Gu Wenkang said directly, "Shiji, if you keep making trouble like this, your father really doesn't want you anymore. Your father actually just wants a daughter."

"Brother, don't talk nonsense." Shangguan Xiaolin said repeatedly.

This is really not what Gu Wenkang said. Shangguan Xiaolin really hoped that the first child would be a daughter. He had chosen the name, Shi Qing, but when he was born a son, the name Shixu was chosen by the eldest princess. .

Emperor Yinde didn't know about this, but Gu Wenkang told everything today.

Emperor Yinde also found it interesting. He didn't expect that the Shangguan young master, who seemed so favored, would be disliked like this by his own father.

"Since you like daughters, then you should hurry up and have a daughter. It would be great to have both children, just like Wenkang."

As Emperor Yin De said, he looked at Gu Wenkang's two children, an eight-year-old brother and a six-year-old sister. They were taught to be particularly sensible, especially Gu Wenkang's son, who looked so unsmiling all day long. Just like Gu Wenkang when he was a child.

"Second child." Shangguan Xiaolin felt a little embarrassed when he looked at Gu Feier beside him, and said, "We are both still young, so there is no need to rush this matter in a few years."

"It's better to have both children at a young age. They can grow up together with Shixu, just like my brother's two children." Concubine De also advised at the same time.

Speaking of which, among the three siblings, she is the most noble, but the loneliest one.

Gu Wenkang and his wife were childhood sweethearts. When they got married, they said they would never take concubines. Over the years, they have been fulfilling their promise. Although they are now the Prime Minister of the country, they still live the most ordinary life with their wives and children. day.

With such a promise, Shangguan Xiaolin had Gu Feier. When Shangguan Xiaolin was given the marriage, he said that he would not take concubines. I don't know how many girls' hearts were hurt because of this, but Shangguan Xiaolin's attitude has always been, Whoever you marry as your wife must be kind to you for the rest of your life.

But Concubine De herself is married to the most noble person in the world, but what?

"Your Majesty, Wen Jing is a little sleepy. I want to send her back first." In order not to lose her composure, Concubine De had no choice but to leave first.

Emperor Yinde nodded, "It's indeed getting late, so you should go back first."

"Wen Jing excuses himself."

Wen Jing obediently bowed to Emperor Yin De before leaving.

Gu Feier, who was sitting on the other side, saw her sister looking worried and followed her with her eyes.

"You go see off sister and Wen Jing." Shangguan Xiaolin said to Gu Feier after seeing it.

After getting Emperor Yin De's permission, Gu Feier slowly chased her out and saw that Wen Jing had been taken back to Changxin Palace by the nanny. Only Concubine De herself was walking aimlessly under the night.

"Sister, is there something unhappy?"

Gu Feier took a few steps to catch up, but she saw the tears in Concubine De's eyes falling down.
