Yang Xu'er of the Prince of Lanling

The author has something to say: Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish everyone a happy holiday and a happy reunion!

After the celebration banquet, I kept avoiding Fourth Master and even Xue Wu.Because, I really don't know what to say to them.The crown prince sent someone to send news that the emperor of Qi State wanted the fourth master to return to Yecheng immediately, and enter the palace to face the saints, including me and Xue Wu.The plan to return to Baishan Village had to be postponed again.

I pushed my bike and stood in the middle of the line.

"Xu'er, are you going back to Yecheng by bicycle?" Fifth Master asked with a troubled expression.

"What's the matter? Can't it work? The carriage is closed and I'm prone to motion sickness; I don't know how to ride a horse, so of course I have to ride a bicycle. Besides, His Royal Highness didn't say that I can't ride this back!" I replied with a look of reason.In fact, he didn't want to share a carriage with Xue Wu to avoid embarrassment.I don't want to ride a horse with fourth master, so I have to ride a bicycle.

"If Xu'er doesn't want to be a carriage, you can ask fourth brother to drive you!" Fifth master said, and looked at fourth master again.

"No need." I immediately refused.

"What's going on?" Fourth Master came over, but unexpectedly the Prince also came on horseback.

"I don't want to be a carriage." I replied, "But I don't know how to ride a horse." I said with some shame.

"This is easy to handle. Come here and bring a docile horse over for the goddess to ride. By the way, you will be led by the goddess along the way. With Gao Wei's order, all problems will be solved. Efficiency. However, When was he so kind? Strange, forget it, anyway, it can solve the urgent need.

"Thank you, Prince." I asked someone to put the bicycle behind the carriage, and then went to ride the horse myself.

Well, the horse is a little taller.In the past, when riding a horse, it was the fourth master who dragged me up.It seems like an impossible task for me to go up by myself now.The soldier who led the horse for me immediately lay down on the ground when he saw me like this, and said to me: "Miss Tiannv, step on my body and get up!"

"No. That's fine!" I refused.I thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a solution, "How about I step on your hand. It's actually not very heavy." I said embarrassedly.

I took a deep breath, stepped on the soldier's hand, and jumped onto the horse with my counterforce.Then I tried my best to hug the horse's neck. Fortunately, it was a docile horse, otherwise I would definitely struggle if I made such a big move.I tidy up my clothes and join the army.

Along the way, at first I looked at the surrounding scenery leisurely, but after a long time, I became sleepy.After all, someone is leading the horse and leading the way, so I really don't care much about it.Simply lie on the horse's back, hug the horse's neck, and slowly fall asleep.When I woke up, I was already at the gate of the palace.I don't know what happened on the way, the prince has already left the army early, leaving only fourth master, fifth master, Xue Wu's carriage and soldiers on foot.I yawned in a daze, and looked at Fifth Master inexplicably, is there something on my face?Why do you keep looking at me and laughing?Or am I not sleeping well, disfigured?

Turning around, seeing fourth master, he couldn't help laughing again.I whispered to the soldier leading my horse, "Brother, did anything funny happen on the road?"

"Reporting to the heavenly girl, no."

Seeing that there is nothing to ask, I don't want to know anyway.I was about to get off the horse, looking at the height, hoping not to fall.I got off the horse sideways, and suddenly a pair of powerful arms wrapped around me, hugging me tightly to prevent me from falling.

"Thank you!" I turned my head and saw that it was the fourth master. I don't know when he came to my place. He was obviously still on the other side of the horse just now.

I broke free, "Fourth Master, let's go in quickly. It would be bad if the emperor waited for a long time."

Sure enough, in the court hall, everyone, including the emperor, was waiting for Si Ye alone.Seeing a middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes, sitting on the lower right side of the emperor, she should be Gao Wei's mother, the current empress.She seemed very impatient to wait, and looked at fourth master with no good face.

"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor! The audience is late, and I ask the emperor to make amends."

Seeing Fourth Master and Fifth Master kneeling and prostrating, Xue Wu and I also knelt down.Even if you don't want it in your heart, the one above is the emperor, someone who can kill someone with a single word, so it's better not to make fun of yourself and provoke him.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When I raised my head, I really saw the person sitting on the dragon chair above.It seems that the Gao family has good genes. All the Gao family's royal families I have seen have good-looking men.However, the person in the seat has a more majestic feeling than anyone I have ever seen.Worthy of being an emperor.

"You are the heavenly girls Yang Xuewu and Yang Xuer." The emperor asked.

"Little girl Yang Xuewu pays her respects to the emperor." Xue Wu replied in a panic.

I just came back to my senses, and immediately replied: "Little girl Yang Xuer pays homage to the emperor."

Xue Wu continued: "Your Majesty is serious, my little girl and sister Xu'er are not heavenly girls."

"You're welcome, I've heard about your deeds a long time ago. This is the blessing of my grand qi. You and your sister are indeed qualified to be honored as heavenly women by the people. You must not shirk this title in the future. Otherwise, you will be against the decree." Kindly said to Xue Wu.

"Little girl obeys the order." Xue Wu and I replied together.

"I know that you are already Chang Gong's concubine, and I hope that you can help Chang Gong wholeheartedly in the future. Chang Gong, you are really envious of everyone for being able to marry a heavenly girl as your concubine!" The emperor turned to the fourth master and said, not knowing That's what he thought in his heart.As an emperor, you should be very concerned about someone's too popular opinion, which threatens your position.In addition, the fourth master holds the military power, and it is not known whether the emperor really treats the fourth master with respect, cherishes talents, reuses them, or something else.

"My lord understands. In this Mangshan battle, it was thanks to the celestial maiden Xuewu who went deep into the enemy's camp and offered a wonderful plan, and the celestial maiden Xuer's preparation of drugs that greatly thwarted Zhou's combat effectiveness, making our army invincible and invincible. It's really a blessing for the emperor to govern the country to have a heavenly daughter." Fourth Master replied respectfully.

"Yang Xuewu, Yang Xu'er, you have made great contributions to Da Qi, tell me, what reward do you want."

I was thinking about what I would like to ask the emperor. I heard that the imperial pharmacy in the palace has all kinds of rare and rare herbs. Would you like the emperor to reward me with some?It is easy to configure some life-saving pills at critical times.

Xue Wu said in advance: "Xue Wu doesn't want any rewards. But there is another matter, I have to ask the emperor."

"Oh? Tell me!"

"On the way here with King Lanling, my little girl met an old woman who had only one son left in her family, but she still had to be drafted into the battlefield. My little girl wondered if the emperor could show compassion to the people and change the law so that only one son in the family Yier, how about exempting from military service?" Xue Wu said touchingly, but I secretly sighed in my heart.I know that in ancient times, unlike modern times, women's participation in politics and deliberations was absolutely not allowed, and it was even deviant.Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the rooster raising the morning.Xue Wu actually asked the emperor to give the order in public, which is a big taboo for those in power.

"My Majesty, I am very concerned about Tiannv's proposal. In this way, it can not only show the emperor's love for the people, but also can be passed down from one family to another in Daqi. The people are easy to protect, and the country survives." Xue Wu explained, and I was slightly relieved.I hope that the emperor will not mind Xue Wu's recklessness in order to become a benevolent king.

The emperor didn't look angry, but he sighed and said to Gao Wei: "Prince, you know why I didn't investigate Chang Gong's late arrival?"

The prince replied helplessly: "I don't know. It's because you have no love for the people at all. Although I am not in good health and rarely go to court, don't think that I am a foolish emperor." The emperor ordered the prince, and continued: "When you enter When you were in the palace, I secretly sent someone to protect you into the palace. I also knew about the people kneeling on the ground. The people knelt down to tell the people's feelings. As the prince, you didn't turn your head back. You have no love for the people at all. , but Chang Gong is able to suffer the suffering of the people, and even offered me good strategies for governing the country. You are not as good as Chang Gong in everything, and you still criticize him. Don’t you have the slightest sense of shame?"

Gao Wei didn't dare to say a word to criticize the emperor, feeling that the atmosphere around him suddenly became tense.I finally understood why the fourth master was finally tolerated by Gao Wei after he ascended the throne because of his great achievements.Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the emperor praised the fourth master and belittled the prince everywhere.In fact, it made the relationship between the fourth master and the prince worse.

"Your Majesty." I was courageous, occasionally a little brave, and tried to call out. When the Emperor turned his head and looked at me, I knew what to say: "Xu'er is just an ordinary little girl. She doesn't know how to govern the country. But the little girl felt that the prince missed the emperor too much and didn't want to keep the emperor waiting for a long time. The little girl didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so, but as the emperor's child, the prince always puts his father first , must be a person of utmost filial piety. My daughter heard that filial piety is the first priority in everything. My daughter believes that His Royal Highness, who values ​​filial piety so much, will surely become an example for the common people, so that the common people will follow suit. "

The prince didn't seem to think that I would speak for him at all, and neither did the empress.Perhaps the emperor, fourth master and even Xue Wu didn't think of it.

"Father, my son ate something wrong." Gao Wei calmed down the emperor's anger when he saw my words, and immediately admitted his mistake.

Afterwards, the emperor punished Zu Taibu for not speaking out about the prince's love for the people, and at the same time rewarded the fourth master, fifth master, Grand Master Duan, old general Hulu and Yang Shishen.Let the fourth master and others occupy high positions,

"Heavenly girl Yang Xuewu. I will accept the proposal you just gave me."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Xue Wu danced happily and kept saying to Fourth Master, "That's great, that's great. Oh, thank you, Your Majesty."

"As for Yang Xuer, what do you want? You haven't told me yet!" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, Xu'er likes medicine. I wonder if I can let Xue'er visit the imperial hospital? I heard that all the royal doctors are very skilled in medicine. Xu'er wants to ask them for advice." I can't directly ask for medicinal materials. I had no choice but to say euphemistically that I want to visit the Imperial Hospital, but there are no medicinal materials, so at least I can ask the imperial doctor for advice, maybe I can find a way to relieve the blood poison in my body.

"Hehe. I'm sure. I heard that the goddess Yang Xu'er has excellent medical skills and cured the plague within 7 days. You went to the imperial hospital. I'm afraid they want you to ask for advice. Well, I will give you some extra precious medicinal materials. You are allowed to go to my library to get 2 medical books as a reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" I happily thanked him immediately. The royal collection is all out-of-print classics, and the reward is really great.

"Your Majesty, what about the crown prince? The crown prince has also been on the battlefield. He has no credit but hard work." The queen asked.

"Hmph, do you think I don't understand military affairs? The prince has tried it, and he knows it best. In order to fight for merit, he uses his own military power, changes generals in front of the battle, and commits the taboo of military strategists everywhere. If I didn't miss him all the way If you were loyal and brave if you went to the battlefield, I would have punished you long ago."

"Is there anything else you want to do? If there is nothing else, let's stop here."

"I have something to report." Zu Taibu suddenly came out to speak.

"Actually, this performance was also played on behalf of the prince. After the Battle of Mangshan, the prince discussed this matter with his ministers. King Gu Nian Lanling has been fighting abroad all year round, and he has worked so hard that he has no time to think about his life. The village took a concubine, but the king of Lanling is of royal blood. He should formally establish a concubine after marrying the dignitaries."

The emperor's listener felt that it was reasonable, so he agreed immediately.He asked fourth master what he thought, and ordered the selection of concubines.
