princess is everywhere

From the end of spring to the beginning of autumn, Anyang followed Xu Mu for several months.The two of them lived a comfortable life in Lucheng, and they were a little bit reluctant to miss Shu, but the emperor in the capital had been thinking about this sister all the time.

On the day when the army returned to Beijing, the emperor did not go out of the palace to meet him, but he also sent people to keep an eye on the movement.

In the hall of Xuanshi, the emperor had just exchanged two copies of the memorial, when the head servant came in hastily.He didn't raise his eyes, but the head servant reported quite interestingly: "Your Majesty, General Xu led his army back to the city, and he just entered Mingde Gate."

Mingde Gate is the south gate of the capital. In other words, people who have just entered the city are still far away from entering the palace, at least half an hour.

The emperor knew it well, nodded casually and did not speak, calmly flipped through the memorabilia in his hand, and then picked up the ink pen to write down the instructions, as if he didn't care.Seeing this, the head servant consciously stepped aside, but he didn't dare to take the emperor's "not caring" seriously.He stood silently by the side, but whether he glanced outside the hall or not, he looked more attentive than the emperor.

About half an hour later, the head servant saw a little servant rushing outside the hall, and he hid outside the hall and waved to him.The head servant secretly took a look at the emperor, seeing that the latter was still concentrating on reviewing the memorial, so he walked out lightly.

After a while, the chief servant came back after listening to the servant's message, and reported to the emperor who was still holding a pen: "Your Majesty, General Xu has just entered the palace gate and is heading for the Xuanshi Hall."

Hearing this, the emperor finally stopped writing in his hands, but he still finished approving the memorial before putting down the pen.

He didn't say anything, but just glanced at the chief servant, who immediately lowered his voice with a wink and said: "The princess came back with General Xu, and didn't go back to Yongning Palace, she is coming this way."

Only then did the emperor snort softly, his expression not very good: "She still knows to come back?!"

The head servant hurriedly put on a smiling face, and persuaded: "Your Highness is young, and he acted a little impulsively. It is because His Majesty loves my sister. After this time, His Highness knows that you have missed you these days, so you will not dare to do it next time. Besides, Your Highness will come back in a hurry. Didn't rush back to the bedroom to clean up, came here in a hurry, didn't you just come to apologize to His Majesty?"

It wasn't the chief servant who spoke for Anyang, it was someone else who was mature enough to figure out the emperor's mind long ago—anger is anger, but it is impossible to punish the eldest princess.No matter how many days the eldest princess left Beijing, His Majesty the Emperor has been thinking about his sister's days. No matter how hard he speaks, as long as others don't mind a word of persuasion, he can go down the slope immediately.

Sure enough, the emperor snorted again when he heard the words, but his tone softened a lot: "She is just bold, knowing that I don't want to do anything to her, she dares to do any absurd thing. When she comes back, I will wait for her to come back." She is not allowed to leave the palace!"

What kind of punishment is not allowed to leave the palace?Before the princess got married, few people left the palace.

The chief servant slandered in his heart, and after a few words of persuasion casually, the emperor really calmed down.And the speaking effort counted the time, and the people were coming soon, the emperor couldn't sit still, so he pretended that he was tired from sitting for a long time, stood up and moved his hands and feet, strolled to the gate of the hall, and glanced out a few times calmly.

Not disappointing the emperor, Xu Mu and Anyang came very quickly.

Seeing the figures of the two on the palace road from a distance, the emperor immediately sized up his sister.

An Yang followed Xu Mu's side, his steps were brisk, and he didn't seem to have suffered much outside.The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't want his sister to find out that he was waiting for her, so he turned around and went back to sit behind the case.

Glancing at the table in front of him, the emperor picked up the memorial and pretended to read it seriously.

Not long after, Xu Mu and Anyang arrived outside the hall.

In the past, the emperor doted on his younger sister, and when Anyang arrived, there was almost no need to communicate, and he could enter the palace directly.But this time she also knew that she was wrong to leave Beijing rashly, and she didn't dare to be as careless as before, so she waited outside the hall with Xu Mu.

The servant on duty quickly entered the hall and passed the message: "Your Majesty, Princess Anyang and General Xu are asking to see you."

The emperor slowly read the memorabilia in his hand, and then slowly took up his pen to write down the instructions, leaving the people outside the hall to hang out for half an hour, then raised his eyes lightly, and said to the servant who passed on: "Let them come in." .”

The servant quickly went out to communicate, and after a while, Xu Mu and An Yang stepped into the Xuanshi Hall together.

Before entering the city, Anyang changed back to women's clothes. At this time, she and Xu Mu stood side by side, and they saluted the emperor together, looking inexplicably right.The emperor looked sour, and felt aggrieved that his own cabbage and pigs ran away, so he lost his face when facing the two people who were saluting, and asked, "Are you two guilty?!"

Xu Mu heard that he knelt down on one knee honestly, and felt a little guilty about the fact that he ate someone when he went out: "I am guilty, and please punish me." After a pause, he pleaded for Anyang: "Mr. The princess is young, it is the minister who failed to give advice, everything is the minister's fault."

The emperor mostly vented his anger towards Xu Mu, but his complexion improved after hearing this.

But how could Anyang be willing to let Xu Mu take the blame?What's more, she has enough confidence in her royal brother's love.Immediately, he took a few steps and walked up to the emperor. He tugged at his sleeve and acted like a spoiled child: "Brother, don't listen to her. It's my sister's fault. My sister hasn't left the capital yet, and she listened to my brother's words." He said that the suppression of the rebellion was not dangerous, so he secretly followed."

Hearing this, the emperor's face turned dark again after he recovered, and he pulled back his sleeves angrily: "Is it my fault for what the imperial sister meant? I shouldn't have stopped you from leaving Beijing, nor I should tell you about counterinsurgency!"

Anyang was not stupid, so he naturally knew that the emperor was unhappy.She cautiously tugged on the emperor's sleeve again, and smiled at the way: "No, no, it's my sister's fault, I was reckless, and I decided to follow. The emperor has been worried for a few months, and it's all my fault. "

After she finished speaking, the emperor didn't respond, but she didn't pull back her sleeves again.

The two brothers and sisters have always had a deep relationship, and when Anyang saw this, he knew that the emperor meant to calm down, so he acted like a baby and apologized even harder.When the words were almost finished, she took out a small brocade box from her sleeve, handed it to the emperor to curry favor and said: "Emperor brother, don't be angry, I have always missed you in Dingzhou. Look , This is a gift I specially brought back for you."

The emperor and Anyang are brothers and sisters, and their tempers are very similar. When they are arrogant, they need someone to smooth their hair.He didn't want to do anything to Anyang at first, but when he saw his sister went out and remembered to bring a gift for himself, the little anger left in his heart also dissipated.

Pretending to be indifferent, he glanced at the brocade box that Anyang handed over. The emperor looked at it with disdain all over his face: "I'm rich all over the world. I don't have any good things. How can I be so rare for this little thing you brought back?!"

That's what he said, but he took the brocade box, opened it, and found a small seal stone inside - the emperor had a small hobby, which was to engrave seals, and when he was satisfied with the engraving, he would give them to those close to him.The seal stone Anyang bought outside is naturally inferior to the collection in the palace, but the victory lies in the unique pattern of this seal stone, which seems to have been chosen with care.

The emperor was a little happy to receive the gift from his sister, and decided not to give away the seal stone after it was carved, but to keep it as a treasure for himself.However, it was still not so easy to let go of the mouth, and the chattering made the number of people drop again.

Anyang knew at a glance that this matter was over, and honestly waited for the emperor to finish his reprimand, then glanced at Xu Mu who was still kneeling, and said to the emperor: "This time it's all my fault, and I know I was wrong. Brother Huang, don’t blame other people." He paused, then lowered his voice and acted like a spoiled child: "Brother Huang, look, your Chang Sheng general just came back from a victorious battle, and you made her kneel like this all the time?"

Seeing his younger sister defending others like this, the emperor felt sour again—it was he who wanted to keep Xu Mu behind, so he gave the marriage to the two of them, but now the younger sister is not married yet, her elbow is turned outward, What did he really think in his heart?

However, the heart is sad, and Anyang's words are not wrong. Xu Mu has made some meritorious service now, so it is not a problem for him to let people kneel down all the time.So the emperor finally let go and said: "Xu Qing, get back down."

Xu Mu didn't interrupt the whole time, seeing that Anyang had coaxed the emperor well, he was really relieved when he got up.

At this time, the emperor restrained all his extra thoughts, looked Xu Mu up and down, and was still satisfied with her ability.When the complexion eased a lot, he said with a pleasant face: "Xu Qing has made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion this time, and the emperor's sister will marry again. From now on, you should stay in the capital. It happens that there is no leader after the reorganization of the Xiaoqi Battalion, why not leave it to Xu Qing to go first Take charge."

The leader of the Xiaoqi Battalion is a military officer of the second rank, which is comparable to Xu Mu's original rank.However, there is no comparison between Beijing officials and border military generals, not to mention that the Xiaoqi Battalion is responsible for the defense of Beijing and China.

Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, he obviously regarded this future brother-in-law as one of his own.

Xu Mu had no idea about official position, but since he decided to be Anyang's son-in-law, he kindly agreed.

On the other hand, An Yang, who was on the side, rolled his eyes when he heard the emperor's words, and asked impatiently: "Brother Emperor, Xu Mu and I walked too fast after you bestowed the marriage before, and we didn't even ask Si Tianjian about the auspicious day. Is it? When is the marriage between me and Xu Mu set? She is not young, and others are already fathers at her age, so it can't be delayed for too long."

When Xu Mu heard this, his expression was subtle for a moment—it was fine if Anyang said she was old, but what the hell is being a father? !

The emperor also saw through Anyang's careful thinking at a glance. He was angry, but he smiled on his face: "Auspicious days, Si Tianjian is counting. It's a pity that the auspicious days for the whole year next year will not match with you two. We have to wait until There will be better days in the next year.”

Anyang didn't expect such an answer at all, and immediately turned pale with shock.

Without waiting for the emperor to say anything, Anyang turned around suddenly, pulled Xu Mu and walked out: "The Sitianjian must have made a mistake, how could there be no good days for the whole next year?! Wood you go with me, I have to Let them recalculate."

Xu Mu was stunned by her turmoil, and he didn't say until he was dragged out of the palace gate: "Your Highness, Your Highness, wait first..."

Anyang's voice came from outside the hall: "Why don't you go, your knee hurts after kneeling for too long? How about I rub it for you?"
