"It's all my fault," Yang Feng'er wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She has not stopped crying since she learned the news until now that Yang Xiaoyu has been buried. Whenever she mentions it, she can't help it.

"Xiao Yu didn't hate you either, and that wasn't your decision alone." Yang Nian comforted her.

"Tell me, I chose the style of her wedding dress, why am I so..."

"Okay, the queen mother is also sick because of this, and I have to rely on you to spend more time with her," Yang Xiaoyu was the most beloved junior in the family, and this incident made everyone in the Yang family deeply saddened.

"Hey, where's third uncle?"

"I heard that my third uncle handed over the memorial yesterday and wants to resign."

"You have to leave before you can wake up," Yang Feng'er sighed, "Cheng'er is okay, the daughter-in-law who hasn't passed the family yet..."

"He's not feeling well either. It's been rumored outside that he has too much killing karma and that he has killed his wife."

"How do you say that!"

"Don't get excited, he just has no intention of marrying a wife, and the emperor also sympathizes with him, and has no intention of marrying him again." Yang Nian felt wrong when he saw Yang Feng'er's tone, "In the future, you should worry less about his marriage, don't worry about it anymore. Get this out."

Yang Feng'er pursed her mouth, tears were about to fall again.

"Don't feel bad, it's not all your fault." Yang Nian poured a cup of tea for Yang Feng'er to ease her mood, "You also just take advantage of this opportunity to get in touch with the queen mother more, after all, you are always suppressed by the concubine Zhen. Things are not easy to do."

Yang Feng'er nodded, indicating that she had listened.

"The position of Commander of the Forbidden Army is vacant, do you have any ideas?" Li Sheng asked Yang Nian.

Yang Nian dropped his voice, "Listen to you first."

"I want to recommend Ling Xin, but he is too young to convince the public."

"Ah."

"Besides, I just promoted Ling Xin to be the second-rank servant. If I add another title, it will definitely cause gossip from others and make the emperor feel jealous."

"It's quite clear. I know that Ling Xin is your absolute confidant, but the commander of the Imperial Army needs more than just the ability to lead the army. This position involves a lot of things, and it can't be done without certain means. Ling Xin is pure in heart, absolutely not Suitable."

"Who do you think will do?"

"Historically, the commanders of the Forbidden Army were promoted by the second-rank generals of the extreme north, northwest, southwest, and the Forbidden Army itself. There has been no war in the Northwest all year round, and the renewal of sergeants is very slow. The four second-rank generals must be three hundred years old together; South Vietnam The wars in the northern part of the country are all small fights, which are rarely taken seriously, and naturally they are not considered; although the generals in the extreme north have outstanding abilities, they basically have no background, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the capital."

"If you say that, it must be someone from the Forbidden Army?"

"No, no, you forgot, there is a second-rank general with a very strong background in this session of Extreme North."

"You mean?"

"That's right, Shen Miao is the grandson of Rong Guogong. His parents died early, Rong Guogong raised him personally, and loved him far more than others. If it wasn't for his surname Shen, he might be the next Rong Guogong. .”

"Then why did Duke Rong put him in the extreme north?"

"It is said that he was hated by the rest of the disciples in the capital, and Rong Guogong wanted him to make some military exploits to silence those people, so he was pushed to the extreme north. Now is the time to call him back. "

"But I think Shen Miao likes Jibei very much, so he won't come back with us this time. I don't know if he is willing to ask for this favor."

"He likes Jibei?" Yang Nian sneered, "He likes Jibei, right? If you give him the title of Commander of the Forbidden Army, he will be one level higher than Sister Kang Qing. It's too late for him to thank you."

"he?"

"You fool, still can't see it?" Yang Nian said proudly, "In this way, there will be our people in the imperial army, and Duke Rong will definitely appreciate your kindness. Shen Miao is not humble and talented He is not low-handed and has close contacts with all the officials in the capital, he is a good candidate, and even if the emperor is suspicious, he is also jealous of Duke Rong, and will not shift his attention to you."

"That's right." Li Sheng smiled, "Nian'er, why are you so smart?"

Yang Nian stretched his body, moved the chessboard away from the two people, and lay himself in Li Sheng's arms, "Who knows?"

Li Sheng smiled and brushed off the broken hair on his forehead, lowered his head, rubbed Yang Nian's with the tip of his nose, and repeated in Yang Nian's tone, "Who knows..."

Yang Nian was so teased by him that he couldn't bear it, turned around and looked at Li Sheng, "I gave the prince such a good idea, how does the prince plan to repay me?"

Li Sheng looked at the light in his eyes that he had been chasing since he was a child, his heart was so excited, he pinched Yang Nian's chin and kissed him.

"You said the relationship between the young master and the prince is so good." Yao'er stood outside the door, looking at the shadow reflected in Yang Nian's room, and sighed.

Ren Xiaoxiao stood beside her, taking the tonic prepared for Yang Nian as her own, "It's not bad, you don't even know how boring you are in the military camp."

"I think I'll send in the supplements as soon as it gets dark in the future, otherwise there will be no chance later."

Ren Xiaoxiao nodded with a mouthful of hot soup.

Shen Miao's reply came very quickly, and it was full of compliments to Li Sheng. Yang Nian couldn't help but laugh when he read it, "Shen Miao is really good at flattering."

"He really is the material to be the commander of the Imperial Army."

"He is indeed both ambitious and talented. You have to thank sister Kang Qing for such a person to be yours." Yang Nian also thought that the first thing Shen Miao received the imperial decree was to ask Kang Qing to be his adjutant. He really hated it. Since I wasn't there, I couldn't see Kang Qing's expression.

"When will they enter the dynasty?"

"After seven days."

"It's pretty fast."

"Ling Xin has already arranged the handover," Yang Nian said, "he has also made great progress recently, and Xiao Xiao is also very good."

"By the way, I've already raised a lot of money, should I report back to the emperor?"

"How many?"

Li Sheng whispered a number in Yang Nian's ear, seeing Yang Nian's surprised look, a smile crept up the corner of his mouth, "It's all thanks to Master Yang's kindness."

"That's natural. Tonight we will prepare a memorial, and we will wait for the big reward tomorrow. By the way, we must not forget that Jiang Ruofeng must be mentioned before the emperor."

"Of course I won't forget."

"Master!" Yao'er knocked on the door, "I brought in the tonic."

"Come in."

"I put it here." Yao'er put the tonic on the table, smiling.

"Is this something happy?" Yang Nian was curious.

"Oh," Yao'er couldn't say that she had the right timing, "Today the imperial doctor said that Mrs. Shi might be pregnant with twins, and I was very happy."

"Really!?" Yang Nian asked, "I think her stomach is too big, and this time Xiao Shitou will go crazy."

"That's right."
