The king's apex spoils him and is reborn

After the news that the Chijin Kingdom wanted to send another envoy was sent back to the capital, it did not arouse too many noises.After all, with the lessons learned from the past, their faces have been fully exposed, so there is no need to discuss any more.

Now, the court only waited for the celebration banquet to reward the three armies, and then Zhao Ke escorted Bailiye and his party again.During the period, apart from the people sent by the palace, Ji Muqing also secretly ordered his subordinates to monitor the Sifang Pavilion, but none of them found any communication between the people inside and the outside world.

The two sides lived in peace for a few days, and in a blink of an eye, it was midsummer, and on the day of the celebration banquet, the cicadas rang for a day.

After finally surviving the sweltering daylight, Ji Muqing was looking at the green splashed with ink in the courtyard happily, when he was suddenly called away.

"Tell me about you, the celebration banquet does not require the emperor to allow officials to bring their families." Ji Huaiyuan in official uniform pulled him to talk about something in front of the mansion.Originally, Ji's mansion only used two wives, but an extra palace carriage arrived earlier, and after asking, I found out that Ji Muxi was also on the banquet list.After that, Ji Huaiyuan knew whose arrangement it was without even thinking about it.

At this moment, seeing people's faces of "what should I do", he explained earnestly: "Your cousin is just about to get married, and our family has finally rejected so many marriage proposals from generals. This is good, in such a Showing your face in front of many sergeants, the threshold of the Ji Mansion is about to be trampled down."

Hearing this, Ji Muqing touched her chin.He just suddenly recalled that he hadn't fulfilled his promise to Ji Muxi, so he thought of taking this opportunity to take her to the palace and enjoy the palace food that she never forgets. He never thought of "sending sheep to wolves".

Afterwards, he said very sincerely: "I really didn't know that, so the brothers like my cousin who is so prickly."

"You cousin, what else can you do besides hurting her." Ji Huaiyuan frowned, furious.

Ji Muqing was momentarily at a loss for words.On weekdays, he fights with Ji Muxi, but he is not a person who doesn't feel sorry for her.He curled his lips and retorted: "It's not just Mu Xi, the flower, but also civil servants and military generals. The family seats are still inside, separated by a screen..." Seeing Ji Huaiyuan staring at him viciously, he slapped his tongue. Turning around, he hurriedly continued: "Whoever dares to blatantly glance at him, this general will be the first to break his leg."

Ji Huaiyuan: "..."

"It's not a big deal." At that time, Mother Ji also finished her makeup and came over. "At that time, my second sibling and I will sit here separately, and those who beg to see will be blocked." Afterwards, she saw that the father and son were still facing each other. , and patted Ji Huaiyuan on the back, "Okay, okay, let's get on the palace carriage."

Today's celebration banquet was probably the grandest in ten years. Xiao Tianze hosted a banquet at the open-air Dream Flower Terrace and invited nearly a hundred generals.

While the sky was still glowing with faint yellow light, the palace was already lit with candles.On both sides of the red carpet in Phnom Penh, glazed lanterns in the shape of petals hang on the trees to complement each other, and there is a clear spring and waterfall not far away.

Suddenly, the evening wind blows, and the hibiscus on the bank falls lightly into the spring, like falling into a misty cloud mountain.

From a distance, someone stopped at the gate of the Moon Cave, and Ji Muqing borrowed the palace lantern of the person beside him, and approached with a smile, "Have you been waiting long?"

"No." The corners of Xiao Beichen's lips curled up slightly, and just as he stretched out his hand to keep his forehead and hair away from his eyes, he saw the person behind him approaching him. "Teacher, Mrs. Ji." Xiao Beichen slowly withdrew his hand and saluted respectfully.

"His Highness the Crown Prince welcomes you personally." Mother Ji was very happy when she saw this move.Immediately afterwards, she turned her head and saw that Ji Muqing was only playing with Xiao Beichen's sleeve intently.

After a while, I saw that there was no trace of them in my son's eyes.The second elder had no choice but to walk away with the leading eunuch helplessly and with a broken smile.

Seeing that his parents finally stopped staring at him, Ji Muqing switched to holding hands. "Where should I sit?" He asked slightly closer.

"You are the hero tonight, so naturally you are the lord." Xiao Beichen nudged his forehead with his fingers.There will be no one around, so they can indeed make out for a while. "However, if you must share the table with me, it's not impossible, or do you want to read the marriage decree tonight?"

Ji Muqing lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her head along the hand that was caressing her cheek, "Forget it, let's celebrate tonight, don't overwhelm the host."

Afterwards, he narrowed his eyes, covered Xiao Beichen's hand warmly for a while, and then said a little seriously: "Oh, just so I have something to ask you."

***

Most of the people present tonight are generals who have lived in the western region for a long time. They were sent to the desert when they joined the army. Most of them have never entered the palace, and some have even never been to the capital for most of their lives.

The palace banquet was about to begin, and they sat on the side with their backs straightened, not knowing what to do.Fortunately, Ji Muqing took his seat at this time and greeted them in a row, so they relaxed a lot.

Zhao Ke was sitting at the top of the military commander's seat, and his expression was the most nervous.Ji Muqing sighed secretly in his heart, and stepped forward to comfort him: "General Zhao, don't panic, your majesty is celebrating your achievements tonight, and it's not to punish you."

Zhao Ke frowned tightly, and the lines on his face became much clearer.He sighed: "In the past, when I was first promoted to the chief general, I served the country with all my heart. On the night I got the tiger talisman, I galloped to the western region. Now counting, I haven't been in the palace for a long time, so I don't know how to speak."

It turned out to be worried about not choosing what to say.Seeing this, Ji Muqing was sitting on his right, and said with a light smile, "The general is kind-hearted. The procedures and ceremonies of the palace banquet have been arranged properly, and the list of rewards for your majesty has already been made. Just thank you all the way - at most, I will give you something else." Reward, you can just say one."

"What did the old man say?" Zhao Ke took a step to the side and leaned over to ask.

Ji Muqing paused for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suggested: "You might as well ask a daughter-in-law to go to the western region with you to take care of your food and clothing."

"The old man is too old, and I don't have that kind of thought now." Zhao Ke shook his head and sighed softly, "I can ask some cooks to improve the food in the army."

"A few cooks are enough, those who feed the horses, those who wash clothes, those who chop wood to make a fire..." Ji Muqing said something casually along with his words, and finally came to a conclusion: "Just ask your majesty to form another army. "

As soon as these words came out, both of them were startled.

"Now the guards at Moyan Pass are all sent by the former western border guards. They are getting farther and farther away from the main camp, and all supplies and food have to go from the desert - it was obviously a self-sufficient city before." Zhao Ke said with a long breath, "Again Forming an army is an idea, but who will be in charge?"

Seeing him staring at her, Ji Muqing suddenly had an idea, and said leisurely: "Muqing naturally chooses to start a family, but I don't mind General Zhao mentioning my name, maybe this will make the court work faster."

Seeing the unconcealable smirk of the person in front of him, Zhao Ke covered his eyes and realized, "I don't want to do such nonsense."

Not long after, the monarch arrived at the scene.After Xiao Tianze said some emotional words, he began to reward his meritorious deeds.In the end, Ji Muqing really got it right, and he fixed his gaze on Zhao Ke.

Sitting in a high position, Xiao Tianze hesitated for a while, before asking warmly: "Zhao Aiqing has been stationed in the Western Territory these years, it has been really hard, and now it is rare to return to the capital, so feel free to ask for any reward."

Zhao Ke's body trembled when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said, "I don't want anything, I just hope that the border will be peaceful."

"Hey, Zhao Aiqing doesn't have to be cautious." Xiao Tianze quietly glanced at the person next to him.Although the main credit for recovering Moyan Pass should belong to Ji Muqing, Zhao Ke's due diligence was responsible for guarding the closed gate afterwards, and logically, he should be rewarded heavily, so Xiao Beichen made this suggestion earlier.

Seeing people hesitating and still hesitating, he said again: "Zhao Aiqing, tonight is the home field of the soldiers."

Zhao Ke was convinced by these words.He secretly turned his head to glance at Ji Muqing, and then said slowly: "Then I will ask for some rewards for the troops stationed at Moyan Pass."

"Although the western border is vast, most of it is covered with yellow sand, and there are only a handful of oases. The land closest to the border guards that can be used for grazing and growing grain is only the northern part of Moyan Pass. But... after Moyan Pass was recovered, it has been used as a The army’s garrison, the previously dilapidated houses were only repaired for less than one street, and the refugees have been accompanying us guards, patrolling the city wall every day.”

Xiao Tianze frowned when he heard this, and sighed, "I have been watching this all the time, but the small towns on the border of the western border that were brutally fought in the war only started to rebuild after a few years, and Moyanguan is really out of reach now."

This is indeed the case, and Zhao Ke also knew the difficulty, so he fell silent for a while.

Su Er Xiao Beichen stood up unhurriedly, and saluted: "Father, General Zhao. The situation in Moyanguan is still unstable, and it is not appropriate to send a large number of people there rashly. It is better to persuade the refugees to move to other places first, so The imperial court is also easy to appease."

Zhao Ke was stunned, "This..."

Xiao Beichen was slightly serious, "I know that Moyanguan is short of manpower now, and there used to be tens of thousands of guards leading troops there. But now the generals in the court have not yet come up with a feasible plan, so it's really hard to send a general there at will .”

The pros and cons are completely transparent, and it is impossible to make a decision on the deployment of troops.Zhao Ke was about to agree, when he caught a glimpse of Ji Muqing slowly picking up the wine glass and putting it down gently, constantly giving hints.

Zhao Ke was about to laugh angrily. Now all the eyes of the audience are facing this way. Do you feel that others can't see this action?

He stabilized his figure and said solemnly: "Your Highness is right."

"Besides, if you want to recruit soldiers, you need to be careful." Xiao Beichen is still discussing this matter, after all, this will also be implemented in a timely manner.Finally, seeing no objection from anyone, he said with a sinking heart: "Therefore, I hope General Zhao can wait a little longer."

After speaking, all the audience agreed.

Hearing the discussion gradually subside, the corners of Xiao Beichen's mouth raised slightly, and he calmly replied: "I also hope that General Ji, don't worry."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers would understand, and the generals even laughed out loud.Sitting in the middle, Ji Muqing raised his cup leisurely, with frowned eyebrows, "I respectfully obey, teach, teach."

For a moment, the officials didn't know whose expression to look at.Wave after wave of cheers, but in the end it was his expression that was the most exciting.

And the eyebrows and eyes of the person involved are indescribably charming.

When the noise finally stopped, Xiao Tianze cleared his throat and put the matter on hold, "Then follow what the prince said, and make careful preparations first."

……

After the reward, the banquet begins.After all the officials had a round of eating, they took up their wine glasses and went to the seats of their good colleagues to talk.Xiao Tianze left for the time being, to teach all the officials to relax a bit.

On the seats of the family members, Yun Nishang looked around.After a long time, I finally waited for someone, "Why did it take so long, this is?"

Ji Muxi, who was going to change clothes, slowly revealed the gadgets half hidden in his sleeves, and said: "Just now I met some little generals outside, and they forced them here."

Yun Nishang saw the object clearly and was slightly shocked.She lowered her voice: "How can you carry a sharp blade in the palace, hide it quickly!"

"After all, he is a warrior who never leaves his sword outside. It's not a big deal if he doesn't get close to your majesty." Ji Muxi was not in a hurry.

"You girl," Yun Nishang said with a serious expression, "you have to hit the south wall once before you will reflect on yourself." She was about to persuade her more, when she suddenly saw an eunuch serving food walking in front of her, she stopped her voice in a hurry.

"Miss Ji, this is specially ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Leng Chan'er soup." The eunuch narrowed his eyes, seeing Ji Muxi's indifferent face, he couldn't see anything in the end.He continued: "I only made one bowl tonight, Miss Ji, please use it slowly."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Ji Muxi's other hand quickly blocked the dagger inlaid with a gemstone, and at this moment, he took out a jade bead from his sleeve by the way.

The eunuch's eyes lit up, he took it with a nod and bowed his head, then returned to his original position and stopped peeping here.

"But I'm waiting." Ji Muxi couldn't hide his joy as he looked at the fragrant soup in front of him.Then, just as she was about to speak, she saw other officials and noble ladies beside her couldn't help but swarmed up.

One person bluntly said: "Sister Muxi is lucky, she is indeed the mother's family of the Crown Princess." Another person sighed: "Your cousin loves you too much."

Ji Muxi raised her eyebrows, lowered the corner of her mouth and said, "Where did the rumor come from? I exchanged it with my ability." Then she waved her hand and urged, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, don't look at it. Your saliva is going to flow on it."

Everyone blushed and backed away after hearing this.

After a while, Ji Muxi took a sip and was very satisfied, so she turned her head and asked, "Sister Yun, do you want to taste it?"

"His Royal Highness rewarded you, it's against the rules to give it to me." Yun Nishang shook her head and smiled.Seeing Ji Muxi's eyes kept looking opposite, she covered her mouth and joked again: "But you're picking out your future husband-in-law?"

Ji Muxi blinked, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, shouldn't you worry about your marriage these days?" She paused, and then said in a low voice: "I heard that Mr. Gu was still hesitating when to return to Lucheng to call The family proposed marriage, and my cousin drove him back with a word."

"General Ji has something to ask Yu An to come over." Yun Nishang turned her head, her face was slightly pink.

Ji Muxi took the time to ask back: "The letters came back in a hurry a few days ago, is the dowry still far away?" Then, seeing that the people around her were shy and didn't answer, she also turned her head and started eating by herself.

The screen in front of me is made of tulle, embroidered with black plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.Through the screen, one can vaguely see the figure of the person opposite.

Ji Muxi was gently stirring the soup in the bowl with a spoon in his hand, and happened to see Ji Muqing and a court lady quietly leaving their seats.
