Wang Ye is a strict husband [Rebirth]
Chapter 38 Longyan Joy, Rewarding Treasures
, are all high-ranking officials and nobles. Although the groom is not a son-in-law, his character and talent are outstanding in every way, and there is no concubine in the family, and the family is quite harmonious. Now that she is a relative of the emperor, it is even more impossible for Su Rou to have a bad life in the future.
Su Nuo and Jing Wenhao had already prepared gifts, and on the day of Su Rou's marriage, they packed their bags early and brought a large number of people to congratulate them.
As a concubine, Su Rou, although the wedding scene was much different than when Su Nuo first married into the palace, she was still quite respectable among the high officials and nobles in the imperial capital. In addition, the mistress of the house did not intend to treat harshly, so the whole wedding ceremony was held. It was very lively, and there was no accident that damaged the face in the slightest.
Although the Su residence is Jing Wenhao's Yue family, if only a concubine from the Su residence marries, even if Jing Wenhao doesn't come, he just asks someone to bring some gifts, and others will not think it is impolite.
Unexpectedly, Jing Wenhao brought Su Nuo to the Su Mansion to congratulate him, which can be regarded as giving Su Shangshu a lot of face, and other officials, big and small, who were eager to make friends with Xiaoyao King, also brought Su Nuo with him when they got the news. If the gift arrived in person, I was afraid that I would miss the good opportunity to flatter King Xiaoyao.
The two of them stayed until the afternoon before going back home in a carriage, and changed out of their solemn and cumbersome clothes. Jing Wenhao and Su Nuo got tired of it for a while, and went to find Song Hong obediently without resting for a while.
After such a long period of practice, Jing Wenhao's internal and external skills have improved a lot, so starting today, Song Hong decided to teach him archery. The best, but definitely a hit.
When Jing Wenhao arrived at the training ground, Song Hong was sitting at the stone table drinking tea. Seeing him coming, he stood up and picked up the bow and arrow on the table. He casually shot at the target indifferently, and the arrow feathers shot into the red heart.
The arrow came out from behind the target, but it couldn't be seen from Jing Wenhao's position, but it couldn't stop him from showing surprise.
Jing Wenhao stared at all this in a daze, only to recover after a while, and looked at him adoringly. He never thought that General Song was so powerful that he could hit the bull's-eye without any mistakes.
Song Hong turned around and handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Jing Wenhao, saying, "My lord, try it first."
Jing Wenhao took it without saying a word, and pulled the string with a serious face to shoot the arrow. After a while, the arrow feather flew out, but it was shot from the edge of the target and hung tremblingly on the target. Fortunately, there was no arrow. Plant it directly on the ground.
Jing Wenhao was instantly depressed, and wanted to dig a hole directly into it.
Song Hong looked at this scene, but did not say anything to criticize, but began to tell him some rules and precautions of archery.
After practicing all afternoon, Jing Wenhao finally got out of the clutches, went back to the yard, took a cold shower, and went to the study to find Su Nuo.
Jing Wenhao walked to the door of the study room, saw the door was wide open, walked in lightly, and came to Su Nuo's side, wanting to see what he was writing with a brush.
He leaned over to take a look, only to find that Fulang was drawing a picture, and on the paper was a man, looked closely at his facial features, and found that the person in the picture was himself, so he felt proud and moved, So Fu Lang already cared so much about him?He even started to paint for him.
In Su Nuo's works, Jing Wenhao is dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with fluttering sleeves, plump and handsome, with excellent charm, holding a big knife in his hand, sharp eyes, and exuding an aura of pride and ambition all over his body. The posture of practicing martial arts is quite different from that of Jing Wenhao who is not serious.
After Su Nuo finished his last stroke, Jing Wenhao whispered in his ear: "Fu Lang painted Wei Fu so heroically, I don't even know how to thank Fu Lang."
Su Nuo seemed to have just realized that Jing Wenhao was beside him, and asked, "Why is Yizhi here? Isn't he practicing martial arts?"
Jing Wenhao chuckled a few times, hugged him into his arms, and said, "It's the time of You now, isn't it because Fu Lang is painting and forgets the time?" Sure enough, Fu Lang's favorite person is him?In order to draw him, he even went to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.
Su Nuo put down the pen, picked up a book from the side, and was about to cover the painting. He wanted to cover the person in the painting, but Jing Wenhao hurriedly reached out to stop him, picked up the painting on the table, and said, "Fulang's The painting is so good, don't ruin it, or you will die of heartache for your husband." He looked at himself in the painting with relish, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was becoming more and more handsome, and he was so handsome that everyone was angry.
Su Nuo put the book back to its original place, feeling a little hot in the ears, a tinge of joy in his heart because of Jing Wenhao's praise, but insisted on saying: "It's just that I have nothing to do, just draw casually, how can it be called that?" Shang Yizhi is a good word."
"What did Fu Lang say? As long as it is your painting, there is nothing wrong with it. If someone else painted it a hundred times, it might not be as good as yours. If you don't dare to say anything else, just say it." The person in this painting is really dignified, with a beautiful tree facing the wind, so it is no wonder that Fu Lang regards him as a character in your painting."
"It's getting late, let's go have dinner!" Su Nuo glared at him directly. He didn't expect that Jing Wenhao was not only thick-skinned, but also so narcissistic that he brazenly praised himself. He hadn't noticed it before. This point, is Jing Wenhao hiding it too well or is he too stupid?
No matter what Su Nuo was thinking, Jing Wenhao was fascinated by his husband's little eyes that seemed to be angry and angry, and he almost didn't know where to go. Hearing this, he nodded quickly and walked away together Going out, he said, "May I give this painting of Fu Lang to my husband?"
Su Nuo rolled his eyes at him: "If you want it, just take it, it's not something valuable."
Therefore, Jing Wenhao happily handed over the painting to the servant, and asked him to frame it, and then hang it in the middle of the outer room of the room, making sure that he can see the portrait as soon as he enters the door.
A few days later, Jing Wenzhao and Li Xueyan suddenly visited Xiaoyao Wangfu. Jing Wenhao and Su Nuo got the news and went out to meet them together.
A luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, followed by several guards and maids, and in front of a tall horse was sitting Prince Rui, whom Su Nuo had already seen.
As soon as Jing Wenhao and Su Nuo walked out of the door, they saw a beautiful young woman jumping off the carriage with a smile on her face. Before the maid next to her could step forward to support her, she just bowed her head silently when she saw her jumping off. , and stood aside again.
After Li Xueyan landed on the ground, she clapped her hands, looked at Su Nuo and the two standing not far in front, and immediately strode forward, looked at Su Nuo openly, with a look of amazement, and smiled at Jing Wenhao : "Fourth brother, this is brother-in-law, right? Famous is not as good as meeting him, and he looks as good-looking as in the legend." Finally, he nodded in agreement.
Su Nuo called 'Second Brother' and 'Second Sister-in-law' to the two respectively.
Jing Wenhao was overjoyed when he heard that his husband was being praised, but said modestly: "Second sister-in-law's appearance is not bad either."
Standing beside Li Xueyan, Jing Wenzhao also nodded to the two of them and said, "Fourth brother, brother-in-law."
"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, let's go in first and then talk!" They chatted casually, and Jing Wenhao welcomed them into the mansion.
When the four of them entered the mansion, Li Xueyan found an excuse to go to the courtyard with Su Nuo for a casual stroll, leaving space for Jing Wenzhao and Jing Wenhao to talk alone.
Standing in the yard, Jing Wenzhao saw the two walking away, and then said to Jing Wenhao: "Let's go to the study, this is not suitable for discussing serious business."
Although he didn't know what the business was so mysterious, Jing Wenhao nodded and followed him straight to the study.
Today Jing Wenzhao came to see Jing Wenhao because he had a very important business, and it happened that Li Xueyan was bored in the mansion, and wanted to see what Su Nuo looked like, so he brought her here with him.
Jing Wenzhao entered the study, closed the door, and the first thing he said to Jing Wenhao when he turned his head was: "Fourth brother, do you want to do something big?"
Jing Wenhao looked at him in surprise, a little puzzled, and just asked, "Why did Second Brother ask me like that? Did something happen?"
Jing Wenzhao said solemnly: "Father received a report a few days ago, and Mu Guo seemed to be premeditated, and kept finding excuses to increase troops on our borders. According to my guess, Father just told me this news today. Let me be mentally prepared, maybe I will be on the battlefield at any time."
Although he has been on countless battlefields and killed many enemies, he still doesn't like to fight, because as long as he fights, it means that many people will die. People and soldiers, whether it is the enemy's country or his own country, this is not what he wants to see , but if the enemy is not repulsed, more people will die, so he never shows mercy.
After hearing what he said, Jing Wenhao's expression became serious, and he frowned and said, "Want to fight again?"
He hesitated to speak, and wanted his second brother not to go, but he still couldn't say it out. Although he believed that his second brother was superb in martial arts, excellent in strategy, and invincible, he was still worried that something might happen to him on the battlefield .
If he prevents the second brother from going to the border to fight against the enemy, it is really unreasonable, because the second brother is the prince of the Jing Dynasty, and their father is the emperor of the Jing Dynasty, and it is their duty to defend the family and the country. Even if they die in battle, It is also a worthy death.
Jing Wenzhao continued: "This matter is a secret. I shouldn't have looked for you, but I also hope that you have achieved something. Your martial arts have improved a lot these days. You must have been influenced by your brother-in-law. With this ability, you will naturally have to do something to keep your current position. Although the battlefield is full of dangers, it is a good place to make meritorious deeds. As long as you have the ability, you are not afraid that you will not be able to make your debut."
"Father and I can protect you for a while, but we can't protect you for a lifetime, and I have no intention of being emperor. His Royal Highness is the future Ninth Five-Year King. If you don't have some power in your hands, not only can't you protect yourself, even you The people around me can't protect me."
Jing Wenhao naturally knew these truths, but he thought that these were still far away from him. Today, when he suddenly heard his second brother say these things, his mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to respond.
He has always known that in this imperial capital, intrigues with other people will not accomplish much, and throwing his head and blood on the battlefield is what a good man should do.
However, he was very resistant to going to the battlefield. When he thought of going to the battlefield, he would have to be separated from his husband for several months or even years. Had to keep silent.
Seeing him like this, Jing Wenzhao sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and changed the subject:
"Fourth brother, if you still can't think about it for a while, you can continue to think about it. I'm going to the military camp tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"
Although he didn't think about other things, it would be no problem to go to the barracks, so Jing Wenhao readily nodded and accepted the appointment.
Then, Jing Wenzhao also reminded him not to tell anyone what he said today, not even Su Nuo. With Jing Wenhao's assurance, the two talked about other things before going out to find Su Nuo and Li Xueyan
Chapter 57 Mishearing Rumors, Partial Listening and Partial Belief
Outside the city gate of the imperial capital, there are two horses, one black and one white, running one after the other on a small road. The two men on the horses are both dressed in black costumes. Silk, flying with the wind.
Jing Wenzhao and Jing Wenhao went out of the city gate, rode their horses for about a cup of tea, and finally rushed outside the barracks.
When they got off their horses, the two soldiers guarding the door ran up immediately when they saw Jing Wenzhao, and saluted with fists together: "This subordinate has seen the general."
Not only did Jing Wenzhao often visit the barracks, but he was also their top general. Even though the status was very different, these ordinary soldiers definitely had no reason not to know him.
Jing Wenzhao handed the reins to a soldier casually, and said, "Ben will inspect the barracks in the future."
Two soldiers took the reins, and one of them asked Jing Wenhao's identity cautiously. Seeing that he took out a token and knowing that he was the Xiaoyao King, he retreated obediently.
The two entered the door and walked all the way to the field where the soldiers usually practice. Jing Wenzhao introduced the layout of the barracks to Jing Wenhao while walking.
Regardless of the fact that this military camp is relatively large, there are at most a few thousand people living there. These troops stationed outside the city are usually divided into several military camps. Although there is no battle now, the soldiers still practice martial arts hard every day. There is no looseness in the entire military camp. In addition to a few soldiers doing other things, many soldiers are now practicing on the school grounds.
Soon, Jing Wenzhao rushed to the destination with Jing Wenhao.
This school field is in the middle of the entire barracks, with a very wide range. Thousands of soldiers are holding big swords, moving in unison and quite powerfully, shouting slogans from time to time. Walking around among the soldiers, when they met those who were lazy, they flicked their whips twice vigorously, a burst of dust, and a few reprimands in their mouths, those who wanted to be lazy suddenly became more honest.
Jing Wenhao took a few glances at these soldiers, and then was attracted by a pair of cavalry beside the school grounds. Those soldiers on horseback were all heroic, with bows and arrows in their hands, and they were running and shooting arrows.
Just when Jing Wenhao was concentrating on looking at the cavalrymen with eyes full of admiration, several people came from a distance. The leader was a strong man, wearing a suit of armor, with a hearty smile on his face, and met Jing Wenzhao. Li, looked at Jing Wenhao a few times, and asked: "General, I don't know who this is..."
The leader of the speaker was Pianjiang Cao, who mainly assisted Jing Wenzhao to take care of the affairs in the army. When Jing Wenzhao and the two first arrived at the gate, someone immediately came in and reported the matter to him, so he brought A few men hurried out to greet him.
Although Cao Pianjiang stayed in the barracks all year round, he also knew many things about the imperial capital. After Jing Wenzhao revealed Jing Wenhao's identity, he looked at Jing Wenhao with subtle eyes, but he still clasped his fists respectfully and said: "My subordinates have met Prince Xiaoyao, but they don't know that the prince is here. I ask the prince to forgive me if I miss you." Several people behind him followed suit to salute.
No wonder Cao Pianjiang's attitude towards Jing Wenhao is so subtle, it's really because he has heard too many deeds of King Xiaoyao, and knows that his reputation has always been bad, not only acting arrogantly, but also doing nothing. Jing Wenzhao has fought on the battlefield and made countless military exploits. Cao Pianjiang has always poked his nose at those moths who are enjoying themselves, wishing to point their noses at these people and scold them.
Of course, Jing Wenhao is a prince, he can only keep these thoughts in his heart, and he doesn't dare to be blatantly disrespectful to him.
Jing Wenhao noticed the look in his eyes, but he didn't understand what it meant. Although he felt that Cao Pianjiang's words were perfunctory, but thinking that this person was someone close to Jing Wenzhao and had been on the battlefield, he had some respect for him. I don't care about so much.
Seeing Cao Pianjiang's bad attitude, Jing Wenzhao felt a little displeased, so he made a point to mention it. Cao Pianjiang quickly admitted his mistake, and put away his contemptuous attitude, and showed a lot of respect to Jing Wenhao. just give up.
After chatting for a few words, a few people came to the high platform, looking at a large group of soldiers practicing underground, Cao Pianjiang reported the situation of the barracks these days, Jing Wenzhao either nodded or said "hmm" with his nose, After he had nothing to say, Cao Pianjiang rubbed his hands, hesitated for a long time, and then went to Jing Wenzhao's side, and said with an embarrassed expression: "General, you see that you haven't come for so long. I miss you so much, just now my subordinates are eager to learn from you, what do you think the general will do?"
Jing Wenzhao did not answer immediately, but asked Jing Wenhao: "Do you want to have a sparring with Cao Pianjiang, the fourth brother?"
Jing Wenhao was excitedly watching the soldiers practicing martial arts below, when he suddenly heard his second brother say this, thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.Speaking of which, he has been practicing in the mansion before, and he has never fought with anyone. Even Song Hong has no intention of fighting him. Today is a good opportunity to verify what he has learned in the past few months. It's a waste of time.
Only then did Jing Wenzhao say to Cao Pianjiang beside him: "If you want to compete with this general, that's all right, but you have to win Xiaoyao Wang first."
Cao Pianjiang immediately turned his head and looked at Jing Wenhao's whole body. He felt a little disgusted, but he still clasped his fists and said, "Okay, that's the deal. General, don't play tricks for a while." Then he said to Jing Wenhao: "During the martial arts competition, if Lao Cao offended the prince a lot, please forgive me. I don't know if the prince has thought of a way to compete?" Seeing Xiaoyao Wang's weak look, he thought about the news from the city and said He is just a showman at all, and after only learning some three-legged cat skills, he has a contempt for him, and he doesn't think that Xiaoyao Wang can beat him at all.
But... damn it!It's really embarrassing for him to speak so politely as an uneducated old man.
Jing Wenhao saw several weapon racks with several weapons on them, so he turned his head and said, "Let's compete with weapons!"
Cao Pianjiang readily agreed.
At this time, Jing Wenzhao led the others to retreat to the edge of the high platform. Just as a soldier moved a chair, he sat and watched the two of them walk towards the weapon rack.
Jing Wenhao didn't hesitate, but directly chose the broadsword that he liked more.
Cao Pianjiang chose a hammer and waved it a few times with one hand before turning around and standing opposite Jing Wenhao.The two stood on the high platform, posing separately, but they both looked at each other, standing still, and after a while, Cao Pianjiang attacked Jing Wenhao with a hammer in his eyes sharply.
Jing Wenhao dodged sideways, and slashed at Cao Pianjiang with the big knife in his hand. Cao Pianjiang turned around and blocked the big knife with a hammer, but he was bent over by the force he used.
Cao Pianjiang waited for an opportunity to use his strength, and moved his feet, sweeping towards Jing Wenhao's legs. Jing Wenhao had no choice but to temporarily let go of the suppression on him.
Jing Wenhao's every move pays more attention to moves, less evil spirit, tends to be gentle, and also has some reservations and considerations; while Cao Pianjiang's movements are more direct, more lethal, and more rude, completely desperate Posture, but no moves at all.
The two seem to be evenly matched, evenly matched.
At first, Jing Wenhao felt his hand go numb when the hammer collided with the big knife in his hand. Then he found that Cao Pianjiang's attack was so relentless that he almost couldn't resist it. After a long confrontation, he finally found out Doorway, also let go of his posture, and started a big fight with the other party.
Because of such a wonderful fight above, the soldiers below all moved in disorder. The military Sima who supervised their drills thought that the drill time would be over, so they simply stopped them.
As a result, those people immediately put away their weapons and gathered around the high platform in groups of three or five, discussing a lot. Many people who didn't know Jing Wenhao asked each other about his identity.
The military Sima who supervised their martial arts practice also gathered around the front of the stage to watch.
I don't know when, a few more people came from a distance, and they came over on horseback. They were several school captains in this barracks. The man reported that his general had come to inspect the barracks, and he rushed back immediately.
No, when I came back, I saw Jing Wenhao and Cao Pianjiang fighting hard.
In the end, it was Jing Wenhao who narrowly won, and picked up Cao Pianjiang's iron hammer with the big knife in his hand, and the hammer slammed on the ground, stirring up dust all over the ground, and Cao Pianjiang himself was also kicked by him in a roundabout Kicked to the ground.
A thin layer of sweat overflowed Jing Wenhao's face, and some dust was also stained on his body, but he didn't show any distress at all. As soon as he stopped, Cao Pianjiang jumped up like a normal person, patted the dust on his body, Walking over, he looked a little bit ashamed, and clasped his fists at him and said: "The prince is superior in skill, and his subordinates are willing to bow down, ashamed! Ashamed!"
Although he was respectful on the surface just now, he still didn't think much of Jing Wenhao in his heart, and now that Jing Wenhao beat him to the ground himself, he realized how stupid his previous thoughts were, and he also felt guilty for his partiality. Annoyed, he also admired King Xiaoyao more and more in his heart, thinking that the rumors about the imperial capital might be simply confusing the public.
Jing Wenhao didn't get carried away, but just put on a disapproving look, waved his hands and said, "General Cao's martial arts are not bad, besides, this king is also a trick, if not, I'm afraid I can't beat you."
Although he said so, Jing Wenhao was actually a little bit proud of himself, but he still overestimated his own strength, thinking that Cao Pian would be easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that the two had been stalemate for so long, and if it wasn't for him The sneak attack from behind was indeed his own defeat, not General Cao's.
It seems that he should put away his previous pride, and shouldn't be complacent just because he is taught by Song Hong. You must know that there are people beyond others, and his current martial arts skills are probably nothing in this army.
Several school lieutenants gathered under the stage saw that Jing Wenhao's appearance was somewhat similar to Jing Wenzhao's, and then thought that Jing Wenzhao had a younger brother with the same father and mother, and instantly guessed the young man who defeated General Cao. It was Xiaoyao Wang, so they whispered, and the others pushed the man in the middle a few steps forward, urging him to come up to the stage and compete with Jing Wenhao.
The man glanced at the rest of the people before he walked onto the stage helplessly, introduced himself to Jing Wenhao, and asked him if he could compete with him.
Jing Wenhao just wanted to increase his actual combat experience and discover his own shortcomings in the battle, so he nodded and agreed.
The first lieutenant to play did not beat Jing Wenhao, he just persisted for a while before being kicked off the stage, and then several lieutenants came up to compete with him one after another, and their attitudes were quite polite.
Although Jing Wenhao narrowly won every time, his clothes were cut several times, and his arm was even cut open by a weapon. Fortunately, the wound was shallow and there was no serious problem. His school lieutenant, Jing Wenhao, didn't blame him either, but was reprimanded by Jing Wenzhao and fined to run a hundred laps around the school grounds.
In this way, Jing Wenhao happily found someone to practice with in the barracks, and stayed until the afternoon without paying attention, and returned to the city with Jing Wenzhao until the sun went down.
Chapter 58 Concubine matters, the prince is angry
The imperial concubine was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and was sitting on a soft couch, with a lotus-like forehead ornament inlaid between her eyebrows, which made her look brighter.
She was sitting in a dignified posture, with gentleness and kindness in her brows, she smiled and said to Su Nuo who was sitting at the bottom: "I have talked so much today, you see, I haven't talked about the real thing yet."
Su Nuo lowered his eyes slightly, stroked the pattern on the teacup with his hands, and asked in a somewhat cold voice: "I wonder what's important for the concubine?"
She took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but thinking that you and Hao'er have been married for four or five months, but there has been no happy news, I feel a little anxious." Well, I just called you to the palace today, so I ordered someone to go to the imperial hospital to call an imperial doctor in advance, and plan to check your body, Nuo'er won't mind!"
Hearing this, Su Nuo glanced at the imperial doctor standing in the middle of the palace, and suddenly realized, so although he was a little displeased, he said: "I don't mind, my concubine is thinking about the reproduction of children." It's an important matter for the royal family, and it really cannot be ignored." It's just that it was a little too hasty, he and Jing Wenhao have only been married for less than half a year, how can there be such a happy news so soon, thinking of this, Su Nuo felt a little nervous Somewhat uncomfortable.
The imperial concubine sized him up a few times, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about his face, she waved for the imperial doctor to come forward to diagnose and treat Su Nuo.
The imperial doctor walked up to Su Nuo and knelt on the ground. Su Nuo stretched out his hand at the right time. The imperial doctor put the medicine box in his hand on the ground, took out a silk handkerchief from it and put it on his wrist, and pressed it lightly with his fingers. After a while, he got up and said to the imperial concubine: "I would like to report to the imperial concubine, the pulse condition of Your Highness is not abnormal."
The imperial concubine asked unwillingly: "Is there any good news?"
The imperial doctor replied cautiously: "I report back to your empress, but there is no happy pulse."
Su Nuo had already guessed the result, so he didn't react too much to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, and his heart didn't fluctuate, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The imperial concubine pondered for a moment, waved the imperial doctor back, and then said to Su Nuo: "You should understand how a mother feels, Hao'er is my child, even though he has been mischievous since childhood, he is still in my heart Bao, although there are countless wives and concubines in Zhao'er's backyard, there has been no good news for so many years, so I naturally have to put more thoughts on Hao'er, hoping that he will have children around his knees in the future, and he will be well-off."
Said, the imperial concubine wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and continued: "I know that Nuoer is a person who knows the general situation, so I definitely don't care about these things, so the real purpose of my calling you here today is naturally for Haoer The matter of taking concubines. When it comes to this matter, I will not hide it from you. I started planning for this matter a few days ago. I secretly observed the concubines and concubines among the high-ranking officials and nobles who have not left the court, and drew portraits for them one by one. I want you to take it back to Hao’er to have a look, and let him choose a few suitable candidates, in case you can accept them as side concubines or concubines after a year of marriage.”
Su Nuo thought it was true, thought for a moment, and said: "If the prince knows that the concubine is so considerate of him, he will be happy, but the minister and the prince have only been married for more than four months, isn't it too early to discuss these things?"
The imperial concubine smiled and said: "It's a bit early, but I have already communicated with your father about this matter, and he agreed. If not, I would never dare to tell you that. It's not a matter of carrying people into the palace immediately, it's nothing serious."
Su Nuo knew that he couldn't evade, so he nodded his head, and the imperial concubine ordered someone to hand over the portrait to Xia Qing and Xia Liu.
Su Nuo took a look at those portraits. There were about twenty or thirty portraits. He thought that if they were all brought back to the palace, the backyard would be turned upside down. Thinking about it is a headache, but the key still depends on Jing Wenhao's choice .
The imperial concubine told him that if Hao'er fell in love with some women or twins, he would order people to go to the palace to report to her, and she should inform the parents of these people earlier so that they could make plans for this matter.
After explaining the business, the two chatted casually, and the imperial concubine allowed Su Nuo to leave.
Su Nuo took Xia Qing and Xia Liu out of the palace gate without saying a word, waited for the carriage, and then Xia Qing who got into the carriage said: "This royal concubine doesn't think much of you, my concubine. No matter how you say it, you are the prince's righteous monarch, and you and the prince have only been married for a little over four months, so she couldn't wait to let the prince take a concubine, and I don't know what she was thinking."
Su Nuo, who was sitting in the middle, gave him a squinting look, and said expressionlessly: "It's fine to talk about this kind of thing in private, but it's absolutely forbidden to say it out loud."
He doesn't know what the imperial concubine is thinking, but one thing is certain, the imperial concubine must be dissatisfied with him, but I don't know why, but he didn't do any bad things, saying that he has no heirs, and he just got married For more than four months, this reason is too far-fetched. The only thing he did was to make Jing Wenhao change his ways. Could it be that this is also hindering the imperial concubine?
But how is this possible?Not to mention that Jing Wenhao is the biological son of the imperial concubine, for so long, he has seen with his own eyes how the imperial concubine dotes on Jing Wenhao, even more deeply than the doting on Jing Wenzhao. Thinking of this, He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
In any case, there must be something strange about this matter, and it seems that we need to investigate it carefully.
Xia Qing stuck out her tongue and said: "I see, Wangfei, I also fight for you. This pregnancy is not something that can be controlled by human beings. The prince is not very old, so why rush at this moment? This concubine should wait until a year later." Let’s talk about it after a year!” The imperial concubine’s behavior was really out of proportion, she thought that the concubine of their family had angered the emperor and the imperial concubine, and made the prince dissatisfied with him, so she was so eager to prepare to take a concubine one thing.
However, Xia Qing knew that these words could only be said when there were no outsiders. If it was spread, not only would he not be able to protect himself, but his master would also be implicated.
After returning to the palace, Su Nuo asked the two of them to bring the portraits to the study together, and then asked the rest of the staff to find some shelves to hang up the portraits one by one, and let him watch and watch, to see what kind of women and twins could enter the study room. It caught the eyes of the imperial concubine.
Jing Wenhao and Jing Wenzhao parted ways, rode back to the palace, rushed into the door, grabbed a servant from the side and asked, "Do you know where the princess is?"
The servant replied tremblingly: "Go back to the prince, Her Royal Highness Wangfei just came back from the palace, and she is currently in the study."
Jing Wenhao was about to let him go and go to the study, when he heard the servant say: "His Royal Highness just told us to rush to the study immediately if we see the prince returning to the mansion. His Highness has something to discuss with you."
Jing Wenhao patted him on the shoulder in a happy mood, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will go right away." Fu Lang must have missed him since he hadn't seen him for a day, well, it must be like this, so he couldn't wait to see him He said that there was something to do, but it was actually an excuse, just to see him, well, that's it, it must be true!
Jing Wenhao thought he had guessed the key point, and hurried to the study with quick steps.
It's a pity that he was not mentally prepared. When he opened the door, he was shocked by the scene inside. Fortunately, he found Fu Lang standing in the middle of the room, so he didn't turn around and left. He thought he had gone to the wrong place, but from those Going around beside the easel, watching while walking, seeing some familiar faces, I roughly guessed the reason in my heart, I was so disgusted in my heart, and immediately showed a disgusted expression on my face, when he walked to Su Nuo, he asked in doubt. Asked: "Fu Lang, what are these things? Did someone send them or did you buy them?"
Su Nuo carefully looked at the portraits, raised his head and said: "These are brought back by the mother and concubine, and all of them are women or twins who have not been out of the court among high-ranking officials. I said that the prince can choose whatever he wants. If he thinks it looks good , and after eight months, they can be taken together as concubines."
Jing Wenhao's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted to the door: "Come here!"
Xia Qing and Xia Liu, who were guarding outside the door, walked in immediately, and said to Jing Wenhao, "What is your order?"
Jing Wenhao pointed to a large pile of portraits in front of him, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Take out all these messy things and burn them. I will never want to see these portraits again." Su Nuo's expression changed again, and his tone was comforting: "My husband, don't think too much. I said that if you don't know how to take concubines, you won't take concubines. You will never break your promise. The concubine mother forced me to do this, and I will resist to the death, you must believe me, you know?"
Xia Qing and Xia Liu stood still, although they were terrified of the angry prince, they obviously didn't dare to dispose of these portraits casually, if the imperial concubine knew about it, they might be so angry, let alone spread it to the ministers in the court In my ears, I will definitely say that the prince has no respect for his elders and acts recklessly, or that the prince is instigated by the princess.
Su Nuo was not frightened by Jing Wenhao's appearance, but continued without changing his face: "Why should the prince become ashamed from anger? Don't worry, even if you want to accept a few side concubines, the minister will not object. Why do you have to anger the Holy Majesty and the imperial concubine for the sake of my ministers?"
Although Su Nuo tried his best to ignore the strange emotions in his heart, when he heard Jing Wenhao say that he would never accept concubines and concubines, he had to admit that his heart was moved. However, the reality does not allow Jing Wenhao to do so. It's all imperative.
Jing Wenhao clenched his fists, glared at Xia Qing and the two, and scolded: "What? Didn't you listen to my king's orders? Did you hear that you were told to burn all these portraits? Everyone's ears are Not deaf?
Su Nuo and Jing Wenhao had already prepared gifts, and on the day of Su Rou's marriage, they packed their bags early and brought a large number of people to congratulate them.
As a concubine, Su Rou, although the wedding scene was much different than when Su Nuo first married into the palace, she was still quite respectable among the high officials and nobles in the imperial capital. In addition, the mistress of the house did not intend to treat harshly, so the whole wedding ceremony was held. It was very lively, and there was no accident that damaged the face in the slightest.
Although the Su residence is Jing Wenhao's Yue family, if only a concubine from the Su residence marries, even if Jing Wenhao doesn't come, he just asks someone to bring some gifts, and others will not think it is impolite.
Unexpectedly, Jing Wenhao brought Su Nuo to the Su Mansion to congratulate him, which can be regarded as giving Su Shangshu a lot of face, and other officials, big and small, who were eager to make friends with Xiaoyao King, also brought Su Nuo with him when they got the news. If the gift arrived in person, I was afraid that I would miss the good opportunity to flatter King Xiaoyao.
The two of them stayed until the afternoon before going back home in a carriage, and changed out of their solemn and cumbersome clothes. Jing Wenhao and Su Nuo got tired of it for a while, and went to find Song Hong obediently without resting for a while.
After such a long period of practice, Jing Wenhao's internal and external skills have improved a lot, so starting today, Song Hong decided to teach him archery. The best, but definitely a hit.
When Jing Wenhao arrived at the training ground, Song Hong was sitting at the stone table drinking tea. Seeing him coming, he stood up and picked up the bow and arrow on the table. He casually shot at the target indifferently, and the arrow feathers shot into the red heart.
The arrow came out from behind the target, but it couldn't be seen from Jing Wenhao's position, but it couldn't stop him from showing surprise.
Jing Wenhao stared at all this in a daze, only to recover after a while, and looked at him adoringly. He never thought that General Song was so powerful that he could hit the bull's-eye without any mistakes.
Song Hong turned around and handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Jing Wenhao, saying, "My lord, try it first."
Jing Wenhao took it without saying a word, and pulled the string with a serious face to shoot the arrow. After a while, the arrow feather flew out, but it was shot from the edge of the target and hung tremblingly on the target. Fortunately, there was no arrow. Plant it directly on the ground.
Jing Wenhao was instantly depressed, and wanted to dig a hole directly into it.
Song Hong looked at this scene, but did not say anything to criticize, but began to tell him some rules and precautions of archery.
After practicing all afternoon, Jing Wenhao finally got out of the clutches, went back to the yard, took a cold shower, and went to the study to find Su Nuo.
Jing Wenhao walked to the door of the study room, saw the door was wide open, walked in lightly, and came to Su Nuo's side, wanting to see what he was writing with a brush.
He leaned over to take a look, only to find that Fulang was drawing a picture, and on the paper was a man, looked closely at his facial features, and found that the person in the picture was himself, so he felt proud and moved, So Fu Lang already cared so much about him?He even started to paint for him.
In Su Nuo's works, Jing Wenhao is dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with fluttering sleeves, plump and handsome, with excellent charm, holding a big knife in his hand, sharp eyes, and exuding an aura of pride and ambition all over his body. The posture of practicing martial arts is quite different from that of Jing Wenhao who is not serious.
After Su Nuo finished his last stroke, Jing Wenhao whispered in his ear: "Fu Lang painted Wei Fu so heroically, I don't even know how to thank Fu Lang."
Su Nuo seemed to have just realized that Jing Wenhao was beside him, and asked, "Why is Yizhi here? Isn't he practicing martial arts?"
Jing Wenhao chuckled a few times, hugged him into his arms, and said, "It's the time of You now, isn't it because Fu Lang is painting and forgets the time?" Sure enough, Fu Lang's favorite person is him?In order to draw him, he even went to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.
Su Nuo put down the pen, picked up a book from the side, and was about to cover the painting. He wanted to cover the person in the painting, but Jing Wenhao hurriedly reached out to stop him, picked up the painting on the table, and said, "Fulang's The painting is so good, don't ruin it, or you will die of heartache for your husband." He looked at himself in the painting with relish, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was becoming more and more handsome, and he was so handsome that everyone was angry.
Su Nuo put the book back to its original place, feeling a little hot in the ears, a tinge of joy in his heart because of Jing Wenhao's praise, but insisted on saying: "It's just that I have nothing to do, just draw casually, how can it be called that?" Shang Yizhi is a good word."
"What did Fu Lang say? As long as it is your painting, there is nothing wrong with it. If someone else painted it a hundred times, it might not be as good as yours. If you don't dare to say anything else, just say it." The person in this painting is really dignified, with a beautiful tree facing the wind, so it is no wonder that Fu Lang regards him as a character in your painting."
"It's getting late, let's go have dinner!" Su Nuo glared at him directly. He didn't expect that Jing Wenhao was not only thick-skinned, but also so narcissistic that he brazenly praised himself. He hadn't noticed it before. This point, is Jing Wenhao hiding it too well or is he too stupid?
No matter what Su Nuo was thinking, Jing Wenhao was fascinated by his husband's little eyes that seemed to be angry and angry, and he almost didn't know where to go. Hearing this, he nodded quickly and walked away together Going out, he said, "May I give this painting of Fu Lang to my husband?"
Su Nuo rolled his eyes at him: "If you want it, just take it, it's not something valuable."
Therefore, Jing Wenhao happily handed over the painting to the servant, and asked him to frame it, and then hang it in the middle of the outer room of the room, making sure that he can see the portrait as soon as he enters the door.
A few days later, Jing Wenzhao and Li Xueyan suddenly visited Xiaoyao Wangfu. Jing Wenhao and Su Nuo got the news and went out to meet them together.
A luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, followed by several guards and maids, and in front of a tall horse was sitting Prince Rui, whom Su Nuo had already seen.
As soon as Jing Wenhao and Su Nuo walked out of the door, they saw a beautiful young woman jumping off the carriage with a smile on her face. Before the maid next to her could step forward to support her, she just bowed her head silently when she saw her jumping off. , and stood aside again.
After Li Xueyan landed on the ground, she clapped her hands, looked at Su Nuo and the two standing not far in front, and immediately strode forward, looked at Su Nuo openly, with a look of amazement, and smiled at Jing Wenhao : "Fourth brother, this is brother-in-law, right? Famous is not as good as meeting him, and he looks as good-looking as in the legend." Finally, he nodded in agreement.
Su Nuo called 'Second Brother' and 'Second Sister-in-law' to the two respectively.
Jing Wenhao was overjoyed when he heard that his husband was being praised, but said modestly: "Second sister-in-law's appearance is not bad either."
Standing beside Li Xueyan, Jing Wenzhao also nodded to the two of them and said, "Fourth brother, brother-in-law."
"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, let's go in first and then talk!" They chatted casually, and Jing Wenhao welcomed them into the mansion.
When the four of them entered the mansion, Li Xueyan found an excuse to go to the courtyard with Su Nuo for a casual stroll, leaving space for Jing Wenzhao and Jing Wenhao to talk alone.
Standing in the yard, Jing Wenzhao saw the two walking away, and then said to Jing Wenhao: "Let's go to the study, this is not suitable for discussing serious business."
Although he didn't know what the business was so mysterious, Jing Wenhao nodded and followed him straight to the study.
Today Jing Wenzhao came to see Jing Wenhao because he had a very important business, and it happened that Li Xueyan was bored in the mansion, and wanted to see what Su Nuo looked like, so he brought her here with him.
Jing Wenzhao entered the study, closed the door, and the first thing he said to Jing Wenhao when he turned his head was: "Fourth brother, do you want to do something big?"
Jing Wenhao looked at him in surprise, a little puzzled, and just asked, "Why did Second Brother ask me like that? Did something happen?"
Jing Wenzhao said solemnly: "Father received a report a few days ago, and Mu Guo seemed to be premeditated, and kept finding excuses to increase troops on our borders. According to my guess, Father just told me this news today. Let me be mentally prepared, maybe I will be on the battlefield at any time."
Although he has been on countless battlefields and killed many enemies, he still doesn't like to fight, because as long as he fights, it means that many people will die. People and soldiers, whether it is the enemy's country or his own country, this is not what he wants to see , but if the enemy is not repulsed, more people will die, so he never shows mercy.
After hearing what he said, Jing Wenhao's expression became serious, and he frowned and said, "Want to fight again?"
He hesitated to speak, and wanted his second brother not to go, but he still couldn't say it out. Although he believed that his second brother was superb in martial arts, excellent in strategy, and invincible, he was still worried that something might happen to him on the battlefield .
If he prevents the second brother from going to the border to fight against the enemy, it is really unreasonable, because the second brother is the prince of the Jing Dynasty, and their father is the emperor of the Jing Dynasty, and it is their duty to defend the family and the country. Even if they die in battle, It is also a worthy death.
Jing Wenzhao continued: "This matter is a secret. I shouldn't have looked for you, but I also hope that you have achieved something. Your martial arts have improved a lot these days. You must have been influenced by your brother-in-law. With this ability, you will naturally have to do something to keep your current position. Although the battlefield is full of dangers, it is a good place to make meritorious deeds. As long as you have the ability, you are not afraid that you will not be able to make your debut."
"Father and I can protect you for a while, but we can't protect you for a lifetime, and I have no intention of being emperor. His Royal Highness is the future Ninth Five-Year King. If you don't have some power in your hands, not only can't you protect yourself, even you The people around me can't protect me."
Jing Wenhao naturally knew these truths, but he thought that these were still far away from him. Today, when he suddenly heard his second brother say these things, his mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to respond.
He has always known that in this imperial capital, intrigues with other people will not accomplish much, and throwing his head and blood on the battlefield is what a good man should do.
However, he was very resistant to going to the battlefield. When he thought of going to the battlefield, he would have to be separated from his husband for several months or even years. Had to keep silent.
Seeing him like this, Jing Wenzhao sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and changed the subject:
"Fourth brother, if you still can't think about it for a while, you can continue to think about it. I'm going to the military camp tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?"
Although he didn't think about other things, it would be no problem to go to the barracks, so Jing Wenhao readily nodded and accepted the appointment.
Then, Jing Wenzhao also reminded him not to tell anyone what he said today, not even Su Nuo. With Jing Wenhao's assurance, the two talked about other things before going out to find Su Nuo and Li Xueyan
Chapter 57 Mishearing Rumors, Partial Listening and Partial Belief
Outside the city gate of the imperial capital, there are two horses, one black and one white, running one after the other on a small road. The two men on the horses are both dressed in black costumes. Silk, flying with the wind.
Jing Wenzhao and Jing Wenhao went out of the city gate, rode their horses for about a cup of tea, and finally rushed outside the barracks.
When they got off their horses, the two soldiers guarding the door ran up immediately when they saw Jing Wenzhao, and saluted with fists together: "This subordinate has seen the general."
Not only did Jing Wenzhao often visit the barracks, but he was also their top general. Even though the status was very different, these ordinary soldiers definitely had no reason not to know him.
Jing Wenzhao handed the reins to a soldier casually, and said, "Ben will inspect the barracks in the future."
Two soldiers took the reins, and one of them asked Jing Wenhao's identity cautiously. Seeing that he took out a token and knowing that he was the Xiaoyao King, he retreated obediently.
The two entered the door and walked all the way to the field where the soldiers usually practice. Jing Wenzhao introduced the layout of the barracks to Jing Wenhao while walking.
Regardless of the fact that this military camp is relatively large, there are at most a few thousand people living there. These troops stationed outside the city are usually divided into several military camps. Although there is no battle now, the soldiers still practice martial arts hard every day. There is no looseness in the entire military camp. In addition to a few soldiers doing other things, many soldiers are now practicing on the school grounds.
Soon, Jing Wenzhao rushed to the destination with Jing Wenhao.
This school field is in the middle of the entire barracks, with a very wide range. Thousands of soldiers are holding big swords, moving in unison and quite powerfully, shouting slogans from time to time. Walking around among the soldiers, when they met those who were lazy, they flicked their whips twice vigorously, a burst of dust, and a few reprimands in their mouths, those who wanted to be lazy suddenly became more honest.
Jing Wenhao took a few glances at these soldiers, and then was attracted by a pair of cavalry beside the school grounds. Those soldiers on horseback were all heroic, with bows and arrows in their hands, and they were running and shooting arrows.
Just when Jing Wenhao was concentrating on looking at the cavalrymen with eyes full of admiration, several people came from a distance. The leader was a strong man, wearing a suit of armor, with a hearty smile on his face, and met Jing Wenzhao. Li, looked at Jing Wenhao a few times, and asked: "General, I don't know who this is..."
The leader of the speaker was Pianjiang Cao, who mainly assisted Jing Wenzhao to take care of the affairs in the army. When Jing Wenzhao and the two first arrived at the gate, someone immediately came in and reported the matter to him, so he brought A few men hurried out to greet him.
Although Cao Pianjiang stayed in the barracks all year round, he also knew many things about the imperial capital. After Jing Wenzhao revealed Jing Wenhao's identity, he looked at Jing Wenhao with subtle eyes, but he still clasped his fists respectfully and said: "My subordinates have met Prince Xiaoyao, but they don't know that the prince is here. I ask the prince to forgive me if I miss you." Several people behind him followed suit to salute.
No wonder Cao Pianjiang's attitude towards Jing Wenhao is so subtle, it's really because he has heard too many deeds of King Xiaoyao, and knows that his reputation has always been bad, not only acting arrogantly, but also doing nothing. Jing Wenzhao has fought on the battlefield and made countless military exploits. Cao Pianjiang has always poked his nose at those moths who are enjoying themselves, wishing to point their noses at these people and scold them.
Of course, Jing Wenhao is a prince, he can only keep these thoughts in his heart, and he doesn't dare to be blatantly disrespectful to him.
Jing Wenhao noticed the look in his eyes, but he didn't understand what it meant. Although he felt that Cao Pianjiang's words were perfunctory, but thinking that this person was someone close to Jing Wenzhao and had been on the battlefield, he had some respect for him. I don't care about so much.
Seeing Cao Pianjiang's bad attitude, Jing Wenzhao felt a little displeased, so he made a point to mention it. Cao Pianjiang quickly admitted his mistake, and put away his contemptuous attitude, and showed a lot of respect to Jing Wenhao. just give up.
After chatting for a few words, a few people came to the high platform, looking at a large group of soldiers practicing underground, Cao Pianjiang reported the situation of the barracks these days, Jing Wenzhao either nodded or said "hmm" with his nose, After he had nothing to say, Cao Pianjiang rubbed his hands, hesitated for a long time, and then went to Jing Wenzhao's side, and said with an embarrassed expression: "General, you see that you haven't come for so long. I miss you so much, just now my subordinates are eager to learn from you, what do you think the general will do?"
Jing Wenzhao did not answer immediately, but asked Jing Wenhao: "Do you want to have a sparring with Cao Pianjiang, the fourth brother?"
Jing Wenhao was excitedly watching the soldiers practicing martial arts below, when he suddenly heard his second brother say this, thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.Speaking of which, he has been practicing in the mansion before, and he has never fought with anyone. Even Song Hong has no intention of fighting him. Today is a good opportunity to verify what he has learned in the past few months. It's a waste of time.
Only then did Jing Wenzhao say to Cao Pianjiang beside him: "If you want to compete with this general, that's all right, but you have to win Xiaoyao Wang first."
Cao Pianjiang immediately turned his head and looked at Jing Wenhao's whole body. He felt a little disgusted, but he still clasped his fists and said, "Okay, that's the deal. General, don't play tricks for a while." Then he said to Jing Wenhao: "During the martial arts competition, if Lao Cao offended the prince a lot, please forgive me. I don't know if the prince has thought of a way to compete?" Seeing Xiaoyao Wang's weak look, he thought about the news from the city and said He is just a showman at all, and after only learning some three-legged cat skills, he has a contempt for him, and he doesn't think that Xiaoyao Wang can beat him at all.
But... damn it!It's really embarrassing for him to speak so politely as an uneducated old man.
Jing Wenhao saw several weapon racks with several weapons on them, so he turned his head and said, "Let's compete with weapons!"
Cao Pianjiang readily agreed.
At this time, Jing Wenzhao led the others to retreat to the edge of the high platform. Just as a soldier moved a chair, he sat and watched the two of them walk towards the weapon rack.
Jing Wenhao didn't hesitate, but directly chose the broadsword that he liked more.
Cao Pianjiang chose a hammer and waved it a few times with one hand before turning around and standing opposite Jing Wenhao.The two stood on the high platform, posing separately, but they both looked at each other, standing still, and after a while, Cao Pianjiang attacked Jing Wenhao with a hammer in his eyes sharply.
Jing Wenhao dodged sideways, and slashed at Cao Pianjiang with the big knife in his hand. Cao Pianjiang turned around and blocked the big knife with a hammer, but he was bent over by the force he used.
Cao Pianjiang waited for an opportunity to use his strength, and moved his feet, sweeping towards Jing Wenhao's legs. Jing Wenhao had no choice but to temporarily let go of the suppression on him.
Jing Wenhao's every move pays more attention to moves, less evil spirit, tends to be gentle, and also has some reservations and considerations; while Cao Pianjiang's movements are more direct, more lethal, and more rude, completely desperate Posture, but no moves at all.
The two seem to be evenly matched, evenly matched.
At first, Jing Wenhao felt his hand go numb when the hammer collided with the big knife in his hand. Then he found that Cao Pianjiang's attack was so relentless that he almost couldn't resist it. After a long confrontation, he finally found out Doorway, also let go of his posture, and started a big fight with the other party.
Because of such a wonderful fight above, the soldiers below all moved in disorder. The military Sima who supervised their drills thought that the drill time would be over, so they simply stopped them.
As a result, those people immediately put away their weapons and gathered around the high platform in groups of three or five, discussing a lot. Many people who didn't know Jing Wenhao asked each other about his identity.
The military Sima who supervised their martial arts practice also gathered around the front of the stage to watch.
I don't know when, a few more people came from a distance, and they came over on horseback. They were several school captains in this barracks. The man reported that his general had come to inspect the barracks, and he rushed back immediately.
No, when I came back, I saw Jing Wenhao and Cao Pianjiang fighting hard.
In the end, it was Jing Wenhao who narrowly won, and picked up Cao Pianjiang's iron hammer with the big knife in his hand, and the hammer slammed on the ground, stirring up dust all over the ground, and Cao Pianjiang himself was also kicked by him in a roundabout Kicked to the ground.
A thin layer of sweat overflowed Jing Wenhao's face, and some dust was also stained on his body, but he didn't show any distress at all. As soon as he stopped, Cao Pianjiang jumped up like a normal person, patted the dust on his body, Walking over, he looked a little bit ashamed, and clasped his fists at him and said: "The prince is superior in skill, and his subordinates are willing to bow down, ashamed! Ashamed!"
Although he was respectful on the surface just now, he still didn't think much of Jing Wenhao in his heart, and now that Jing Wenhao beat him to the ground himself, he realized how stupid his previous thoughts were, and he also felt guilty for his partiality. Annoyed, he also admired King Xiaoyao more and more in his heart, thinking that the rumors about the imperial capital might be simply confusing the public.
Jing Wenhao didn't get carried away, but just put on a disapproving look, waved his hands and said, "General Cao's martial arts are not bad, besides, this king is also a trick, if not, I'm afraid I can't beat you."
Although he said so, Jing Wenhao was actually a little bit proud of himself, but he still overestimated his own strength, thinking that Cao Pian would be easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that the two had been stalemate for so long, and if it wasn't for him The sneak attack from behind was indeed his own defeat, not General Cao's.
It seems that he should put away his previous pride, and shouldn't be complacent just because he is taught by Song Hong. You must know that there are people beyond others, and his current martial arts skills are probably nothing in this army.
Several school lieutenants gathered under the stage saw that Jing Wenhao's appearance was somewhat similar to Jing Wenzhao's, and then thought that Jing Wenzhao had a younger brother with the same father and mother, and instantly guessed the young man who defeated General Cao. It was Xiaoyao Wang, so they whispered, and the others pushed the man in the middle a few steps forward, urging him to come up to the stage and compete with Jing Wenhao.
The man glanced at the rest of the people before he walked onto the stage helplessly, introduced himself to Jing Wenhao, and asked him if he could compete with him.
Jing Wenhao just wanted to increase his actual combat experience and discover his own shortcomings in the battle, so he nodded and agreed.
The first lieutenant to play did not beat Jing Wenhao, he just persisted for a while before being kicked off the stage, and then several lieutenants came up to compete with him one after another, and their attitudes were quite polite.
Although Jing Wenhao narrowly won every time, his clothes were cut several times, and his arm was even cut open by a weapon. Fortunately, the wound was shallow and there was no serious problem. His school lieutenant, Jing Wenhao, didn't blame him either, but was reprimanded by Jing Wenzhao and fined to run a hundred laps around the school grounds.
In this way, Jing Wenhao happily found someone to practice with in the barracks, and stayed until the afternoon without paying attention, and returned to the city with Jing Wenzhao until the sun went down.
Chapter 58 Concubine matters, the prince is angry
The imperial concubine was wearing a gorgeous palace dress and was sitting on a soft couch, with a lotus-like forehead ornament inlaid between her eyebrows, which made her look brighter.
She was sitting in a dignified posture, with gentleness and kindness in her brows, she smiled and said to Su Nuo who was sitting at the bottom: "I have talked so much today, you see, I haven't talked about the real thing yet."
Su Nuo lowered his eyes slightly, stroked the pattern on the teacup with his hands, and asked in a somewhat cold voice: "I wonder what's important for the concubine?"
She took a sip of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but thinking that you and Hao'er have been married for four or five months, but there has been no happy news, I feel a little anxious." Well, I just called you to the palace today, so I ordered someone to go to the imperial hospital to call an imperial doctor in advance, and plan to check your body, Nuo'er won't mind!"
Hearing this, Su Nuo glanced at the imperial doctor standing in the middle of the palace, and suddenly realized, so although he was a little displeased, he said: "I don't mind, my concubine is thinking about the reproduction of children." It's an important matter for the royal family, and it really cannot be ignored." It's just that it was a little too hasty, he and Jing Wenhao have only been married for less than half a year, how can there be such a happy news so soon, thinking of this, Su Nuo felt a little nervous Somewhat uncomfortable.
The imperial concubine sized him up a few times, and seeing that there was nothing unusual about his face, she waved for the imperial doctor to come forward to diagnose and treat Su Nuo.
The imperial doctor walked up to Su Nuo and knelt on the ground. Su Nuo stretched out his hand at the right time. The imperial doctor put the medicine box in his hand on the ground, took out a silk handkerchief from it and put it on his wrist, and pressed it lightly with his fingers. After a while, he got up and said to the imperial concubine: "I would like to report to the imperial concubine, the pulse condition of Your Highness is not abnormal."
The imperial concubine asked unwillingly: "Is there any good news?"
The imperial doctor replied cautiously: "I report back to your empress, but there is no happy pulse."
Su Nuo had already guessed the result, so he didn't react too much to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, and his heart didn't fluctuate, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The imperial concubine pondered for a moment, waved the imperial doctor back, and then said to Su Nuo: "You should understand how a mother feels, Hao'er is my child, even though he has been mischievous since childhood, he is still in my heart Bao, although there are countless wives and concubines in Zhao'er's backyard, there has been no good news for so many years, so I naturally have to put more thoughts on Hao'er, hoping that he will have children around his knees in the future, and he will be well-off."
Said, the imperial concubine wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and continued: "I know that Nuoer is a person who knows the general situation, so I definitely don't care about these things, so the real purpose of my calling you here today is naturally for Haoer The matter of taking concubines. When it comes to this matter, I will not hide it from you. I started planning for this matter a few days ago. I secretly observed the concubines and concubines among the high-ranking officials and nobles who have not left the court, and drew portraits for them one by one. I want you to take it back to Hao’er to have a look, and let him choose a few suitable candidates, in case you can accept them as side concubines or concubines after a year of marriage.”
Su Nuo thought it was true, thought for a moment, and said: "If the prince knows that the concubine is so considerate of him, he will be happy, but the minister and the prince have only been married for more than four months, isn't it too early to discuss these things?"
The imperial concubine smiled and said: "It's a bit early, but I have already communicated with your father about this matter, and he agreed. If not, I would never dare to tell you that. It's not a matter of carrying people into the palace immediately, it's nothing serious."
Su Nuo knew that he couldn't evade, so he nodded his head, and the imperial concubine ordered someone to hand over the portrait to Xia Qing and Xia Liu.
Su Nuo took a look at those portraits. There were about twenty or thirty portraits. He thought that if they were all brought back to the palace, the backyard would be turned upside down. Thinking about it is a headache, but the key still depends on Jing Wenhao's choice .
The imperial concubine told him that if Hao'er fell in love with some women or twins, he would order people to go to the palace to report to her, and she should inform the parents of these people earlier so that they could make plans for this matter.
After explaining the business, the two chatted casually, and the imperial concubine allowed Su Nuo to leave.
Su Nuo took Xia Qing and Xia Liu out of the palace gate without saying a word, waited for the carriage, and then Xia Qing who got into the carriage said: "This royal concubine doesn't think much of you, my concubine. No matter how you say it, you are the prince's righteous monarch, and you and the prince have only been married for a little over four months, so she couldn't wait to let the prince take a concubine, and I don't know what she was thinking."
Su Nuo, who was sitting in the middle, gave him a squinting look, and said expressionlessly: "It's fine to talk about this kind of thing in private, but it's absolutely forbidden to say it out loud."
He doesn't know what the imperial concubine is thinking, but one thing is certain, the imperial concubine must be dissatisfied with him, but I don't know why, but he didn't do any bad things, saying that he has no heirs, and he just got married For more than four months, this reason is too far-fetched. The only thing he did was to make Jing Wenhao change his ways. Could it be that this is also hindering the imperial concubine?
But how is this possible?Not to mention that Jing Wenhao is the biological son of the imperial concubine, for so long, he has seen with his own eyes how the imperial concubine dotes on Jing Wenhao, even more deeply than the doting on Jing Wenzhao. Thinking of this, He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
In any case, there must be something strange about this matter, and it seems that we need to investigate it carefully.
Xia Qing stuck out her tongue and said: "I see, Wangfei, I also fight for you. This pregnancy is not something that can be controlled by human beings. The prince is not very old, so why rush at this moment? This concubine should wait until a year later." Let’s talk about it after a year!” The imperial concubine’s behavior was really out of proportion, she thought that the concubine of their family had angered the emperor and the imperial concubine, and made the prince dissatisfied with him, so she was so eager to prepare to take a concubine one thing.
However, Xia Qing knew that these words could only be said when there were no outsiders. If it was spread, not only would he not be able to protect himself, but his master would also be implicated.
After returning to the palace, Su Nuo asked the two of them to bring the portraits to the study together, and then asked the rest of the staff to find some shelves to hang up the portraits one by one, and let him watch and watch, to see what kind of women and twins could enter the study room. It caught the eyes of the imperial concubine.
Jing Wenhao and Jing Wenzhao parted ways, rode back to the palace, rushed into the door, grabbed a servant from the side and asked, "Do you know where the princess is?"
The servant replied tremblingly: "Go back to the prince, Her Royal Highness Wangfei just came back from the palace, and she is currently in the study."
Jing Wenhao was about to let him go and go to the study, when he heard the servant say: "His Royal Highness just told us to rush to the study immediately if we see the prince returning to the mansion. His Highness has something to discuss with you."
Jing Wenhao patted him on the shoulder in a happy mood, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will go right away." Fu Lang must have missed him since he hadn't seen him for a day, well, it must be like this, so he couldn't wait to see him He said that there was something to do, but it was actually an excuse, just to see him, well, that's it, it must be true!
Jing Wenhao thought he had guessed the key point, and hurried to the study with quick steps.
It's a pity that he was not mentally prepared. When he opened the door, he was shocked by the scene inside. Fortunately, he found Fu Lang standing in the middle of the room, so he didn't turn around and left. He thought he had gone to the wrong place, but from those Going around beside the easel, watching while walking, seeing some familiar faces, I roughly guessed the reason in my heart, I was so disgusted in my heart, and immediately showed a disgusted expression on my face, when he walked to Su Nuo, he asked in doubt. Asked: "Fu Lang, what are these things? Did someone send them or did you buy them?"
Su Nuo carefully looked at the portraits, raised his head and said: "These are brought back by the mother and concubine, and all of them are women or twins who have not been out of the court among high-ranking officials. I said that the prince can choose whatever he wants. If he thinks it looks good , and after eight months, they can be taken together as concubines."
Jing Wenhao's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted to the door: "Come here!"
Xia Qing and Xia Liu, who were guarding outside the door, walked in immediately, and said to Jing Wenhao, "What is your order?"
Jing Wenhao pointed to a large pile of portraits in front of him, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Take out all these messy things and burn them. I will never want to see these portraits again." Su Nuo's expression changed again, and his tone was comforting: "My husband, don't think too much. I said that if you don't know how to take concubines, you won't take concubines. You will never break your promise. The concubine mother forced me to do this, and I will resist to the death, you must believe me, you know?"
Xia Qing and Xia Liu stood still, although they were terrified of the angry prince, they obviously didn't dare to dispose of these portraits casually, if the imperial concubine knew about it, they might be so angry, let alone spread it to the ministers in the court In my ears, I will definitely say that the prince has no respect for his elders and acts recklessly, or that the prince is instigated by the princess.
Su Nuo was not frightened by Jing Wenhao's appearance, but continued without changing his face: "Why should the prince become ashamed from anger? Don't worry, even if you want to accept a few side concubines, the minister will not object. Why do you have to anger the Holy Majesty and the imperial concubine for the sake of my ministers?"
Although Su Nuo tried his best to ignore the strange emotions in his heart, when he heard Jing Wenhao say that he would never accept concubines and concubines, he had to admit that his heart was moved. However, the reality does not allow Jing Wenhao to do so. It's all imperative.
Jing Wenhao clenched his fists, glared at Xia Qing and the two, and scolded: "What? Didn't you listen to my king's orders? Did you hear that you were told to burn all these portraits? Everyone's ears are Not deaf?
