My lord, wake up

The host and guests enjoyed the meal, Xing Chenxiu didn't know if Wei Lin saw something, but for him, this was just his first step.

Show the intimacy between Wei Lin and Yang Yunfei, so that they can understand that Wei Yan is different from anyone else to him.

After the banquet in the Hou's Mansion, the days passed by more than a month quickly, and it seemed that it was close to the time limit Xing Chenmu had agreed to return to the palace.

But before Xing Chenmu returned to the palace, a major event happened.

Emperor Cangchuan passed away, and Helian Chunfeng ascended the throne smoothly, and he also sent a peace agreement to Ran Ying Kingdom as agreed before.

Different from the simple armistice agreement a few years ago, this time apart from the peace talks, Helian Chunfeng also put forward a proposal for trade between the two countries. In order to show sincerity, Cangchuan sent thousands of good horses to Ran Ying.

Ranying's soil and water are not as suitable for animal husbandry as Cangchuan, and it is difficult to replenish the horses worn out in previous wars. This gift from Cangchuan solved a major problem in Ranying's army.

After deliberation by the ministers, Xing Chenxiu ordered to send an equivalent amount of grain to Cangchuan as a gift in return. In this way, it was officially opened the prelude to the trade between the two countries.

In addition, due to the effective of the armistice agreement, Xing Chenxiu revised Ran Ying's current decrees, reduced taxes in various places, and encouraged the people to grow food crops.

During the few short months when he temporarily took over the government, there were many rumors about the assistant king again among the people. This time, the people all praised him, but the trend of the rumors happened to be the same as Xing Chenmu's marching route. , without even thinking about how they spread.

Having such a younger brother who doesn't forget to worry about him during the game, I don't know whether to say it is good or bad.

Xing Chenxiu put together the notebook, walked outside the door and wanted to move his body, the next moment there was a pair of powerful big hands on the shoulders and necks, kneading for him with moderate strength.

"tired?"

"Well, there are some." Xing Chenxiu felt the familiar breath, relaxed his body and leaned back, "When did you come back?"

"About half an hour ago." Wei Yan was on duty in the palace yesterday, and he only changed shifts near noon. After returning to the mansion, he went back to the house to take a shower, changed into clean clothes, and immediately went to the study to look for Xing Chenxiu.

"Why don't you take a good rest in the house?" Xing Chenxiu frowned disapprovingly when he heard the words, "Staying up late hurts your body, you need to have a good rest during the day."

In front of Xing Chenxiu, who is a disciple of a genius doctor, Wei Yan naturally did not dare to refute, so he had to obediently respond: "Understood, isn't Zimu tired? Let's go back to the room together."

But Xing Chenxiu shook his head and said: "There are still memorials that have not been approved, and I need to go to the palace in the afternoon. I have sent someone to inform my mother before, and I have made psychological preparations for so many days. I can't run away."

"You're going to tell the Queen Mother about our relationship." Wei Yan was taken aback for a moment, then became nervous, "I thought at least I'd wait until the Holy Majesty came back before making any plans."

"The matter between the Holy Majesty and Master Zhuo, it will not be too long before it will be announced to the public. He and I must confess to the Queen Mother first. Why don't I pave the way for him first."

The truth is true, Xing Chenxiu has told Wei Yan more than once that the Queen Mother's temperament will not make things difficult for him, but Wei Yan is still worried, and said seriously: "I will go with you, I will wait for you outside the palace .”

The courtiers were not allowed to enter and leave the harem at will. No matter how worried Wei Yan was, he would not be able to accompany Xing Chenxiu to meet the Queen Mother. This was what made him feel powerless the most.

Xing Chenxiu was very calm, took his hand and went to the bedroom: "I should accompany mother after dinner and then come back, A Yan can rest in the mansion, if you are really worried, it will not be too late to pick me up outside the palace after Shenshi. "

Xing Chenxiu was extremely strict on all matters related to Wei Yan's health, and he did not allow the slightest bit of criticism. After watching Wei Yan take off his shoes and socks and go to bed, he said, "I will wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

"Obey, my lord." Wei Yan had no choice but to close his eyes and sleep obediently.

Xing Chenxiu sat by the bed and watched, and got up and left after confirming that he had fallen asleep.

After reviewing the rest of the memorials, it was already too late, he didn't dare to delay any longer, got up and planned to go to the palace, but stopped when he walked to the carriage, thought for a while, turned back to the house, and took the piece that belonged to him Put on the jade.

"Xiu'er is here? It's hot outside, hurry up and have some tea to relieve the heat."

Seeing Xing Chenxiu, the Empress Dowager was obviously in a good mood, refreshments were prepared early, when Xing Chenxiu arrived at the Fulu Palace, she was greeted by the Empress Dowager and seated before she could salute.

"How is the queen mother recently? It's the son's fault that I can't come to pay my respects to the queen every day."

"Mu'er slipped out of the palace and left all state affairs to you. Aijia only hopes that you don't get exhausted. Please don't ask me how much trouble you have." After a while, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "It seems that Xiu'er seems to have become a little rounder recently, but it's still a bit worse than ordinary men. You can take care of Mu'er after she comes back."

"Empress mother, children will become bloated if they continue to raise them."

"Oh? Since when did Xiu'er start to care about his appearance?" In fact, since Xing Chenxiu stepped into the Fulu Palace, the Queen Mother noticed the jade pendant around his waist, and was just waiting for him to explain. At this point, the Queen Mother took advantage of the situation and said, "Tell me, which girl can be appreciated by Xiu'er, and the Ai family will propose marriage for you."

Rao had rehearsed these words several times in his mind, and at this moment Xing Chenxiu was still a little nervous, he put down his teacup, sat up straight, and said with a wry smile: "If my son says it, the queen mother must promise not to be angry."

"As long as Xiu'er thinks it's right, Ai's family has nothing to be angry about." The queen mother took his hand and patted it, "Besides, Ai's family believes in your vision, and the person who can make me Xiu'er fall in love with him must be almost the same. Where are you going?"

There are a lot of things about Tianhuang's noble marriage, especially the choice of the main concubine, who must be of the right family, but Xing Chenxiu has had a hard journey all the way, and the queen mother herself has an ordinary background, so naturally she will not ask him for these things.

Xing Chenxiu was indifferent since he was a child, and he only seemed to be close to many people, including the first emperor, but in fact he held a steelyard in his heart, and he grasped all the scales just right, but he was the one who was tired.

After returning to the palace this time, the Queen Mother finally understood what the two brothers had done these years. As a mother, she was not only proud of the tacit understanding and trust between their brothers, but also felt sorry for Xing Chenxiu's sacrifices over the years.

She had long wanted to fix Zhang Luo's marriage for Xing Chen, but because of the other party's temperament, she was afraid that she would choose the wrong person, so instead of being able to solve his problems, it would only increase his worries and burdens.

"He's really not bad. Queen Mother, he's a very good person. My son and I have learned a lot from him, and we can always relax when we're with him." Relaxation is nothing but the norm for ordinary people, but for them For people with high status, it is almost a luxury.

The Empress Dowager naturally understood this truth, but it was just a bit of an accident. It was not easy for Xing Chenxiu, who grew up in such a harsh environment, to meet someone he was willing to trust wholeheartedly: "Then why do you think the Ai family would angry?"

"It's just because he's not a woman." Xing Chenxiu twitched the corners of his lips in the empress dowager's surprised expression, perhaps because he thought of the person in his heart, and his whole person seemed much softer, "The empress mother has actually met him before, and he was once General Zhenbei, now the commander of the Jinwei Army in Yuqian, Wei Yan."

After Wei Yan woke up, he immediately rode his horse and waited outside the palace. He waited and waited but couldn't wait for Xing Chenxiu to come out. Sneak into Fulu Palace to investigate.

Fortunately, just when he couldn't bear to take action, he saw Xing Chenxiu's carriage drive out of the palace gate and stop in front of him.

Wei Yan couldn't wait to get into the carriage, first inspected Xing Chenxiu carefully from top to bottom, and seeing that he was unharmed, his heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell to the ground.

"Well, what did the Queen Mother say?"

Xing Chenxiu had a serious face: "I'm fine, it's just..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Yan had already hugged her into his arms: "Don't be sad, it's normal for the queen mother to not accept it, let's persuade her slowly."

Wei Yan knew how important the queen mother was to Xing Chenxiu, so he was anxious to comfort him, but Xing Chenxiu smiled in his arms: "I'm fine, but you have something to do, the queen mother said, if you treat me badly, she must go to the Holy Majesty Make it clear that the Holy Spirit will remove you from your post."

It is a taboo for the harem to meddle in politics, but it shows a mother's most sincere protection for her children.

Wei Yan couldn't believe it, and didn't care that he was being tricked by Xing Chenxiu, so he just asked: "The Queen Mother accepted?"

"En." Xing Chenxiu nodded with a smile, but the corners of his eyes were uncontrollably moist.

When he first finished talking about Wei Yan's identity with the Queen Mother, he could see the inner resistance of the Queen Mother, and even refused to discuss this topic with him for a while, and his face was still very ugly until the meal.

But when he was about to leave after dinner, the Queen Mother suddenly stopped him and said that sentence to him.

How could he not understand that the Empress Dowager didn't want him to be troubled by this, so even if this kind of thing was against common sense and destined to attract criticism, the Empress Dowager was still willing to stand on his side.

The queen mother is not his biological mother, but she has given him infinite care over the years. If there hadn't been someone in the harem who treated him like this, he didn't know if he would lose himself in the struggles and become the kind of person he hated the most.

Wei Yan saw Xing Chenxiu's emotions, and kissed the corner of his eyes lightly: "Then wait for the Holy Majesty to come back now, and when you are free, we will plan how to confess to my parents."

"Okay." Xing Chenxiu agreed, and according to the news sent back by the shadow guard, he was thinking about the day when Xing Chenmu would return to the palace.

It's just that none of them thought that the first imperial decree issued by Xing Chenmu after returning to the court shocked the government and the public, and at the same time left a strong mark in the history books...
