It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 260
Xiao Yue's mood was very complicated.

On the one hand, his biological father didn't want him, and launched a war against Daxing, and he hated him deeply.

On the other hand, his father is not a qualified father, and he doesn't seem to have much affection for him. He hates him for disregarding the common people, hates him for causing all this, hates his lonely heart, and insists on going his own way. .

But if all of this is based on personal feelings, Xiao Yue and Bo Keshan have an insoluble hatred.

However, originally, the two never had the slightest emotion, and they were only said to be father and son by blood.

But is blood relationship the reason for a universal relationship?Bo Keshan doesn't like Xiao Yue, why does Xiao Yue love Bo Keshan so much?
Ji Shaoyuan said slowly: "You can't hate him, it's because Bo Keshan doesn't have the slightest relationship with you at all. If there is, Xiao Yue, you will struggle and suffer all the time."

Ever since Ji Shaoyuan learned about Xiao Yue's past, he has never lacked emotion in his heart.

The fate of a person is one heaven and one earth. No matter how unsatisfactory her life in the Shouchanghou Mansion was, it was much better than Xiao Yue's moment of life and death under the knife point.

When Xiao Yue heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Boke kindly wanted to keep Chu Lan alive, but it's a pity, a pity, Chu Lan was blinded by hatred, and she only wanted revenge."

Chu Lan provoked the tribes in the northern border, and repeatedly provoked the Daxing border. As a general, Xiao Yue had a duty to conquer the northern border immediately.

Ji Shaoyuan smiled, "Chu Lan has to deal with it, and I will accompany you to the northern border."

Originally, the general's family members wanted to stay in Beijing as hostages, but Ji Shaoyuan and Xiao Yue had different identities, and both of them knew martial arts. Emperor Longtai believed that no one could compare them to fighting side by side.

Xiao Yue looked guilty, "I wronged you."

How can a newlywed go to the border with her husband?Moreover, newlywed Yaner, rushing to the front line so quickly is really not decent.

When Ji Shaoyuan heard this, he immediately became unhappy, "Hey, you and I are the best allies. If we are allies, we should fight side by side and live and die together."

To live and die together, to fight side by side, Ji Shaoyuan never took it as empty talk.

Xiao Yue took the initiative to hold Ji Shaoyuan's hand. The big hand was warm and strong, with well-defined joints and slender fingers. Due to years of martial arts practice, there were calluses on the fingertips.

Ji Shaoyuan continued, "The tribes in the northern border were pacified because of you. Those people have always been involuntary, and they have no choice but to get involved in the war. If the general has a way, try not to get too involved."

Princess Shengping told her that the people in the war almost died, and the princesses of Daxing need to love and protect the people even if they are not princes and emperors.

They are members of the Ji family's royal family, fulfilling responsibilities, taking on responsibilities, and shouldering missions. In the eyes of others, it may be hard work, but the princesses who have enjoyed countless prosperity in the world should bear the corresponding responsibilities.

You know, the people at the bottom are far more precarious than the princesses.

Xiao Yue nodded, "The purpose of fighting is to defend peace, not to expand the war and fight for power and profit."

He doesn't like war in his heart. When a war breaks out, so many people have to die, their families are ruined, Xiao Yue is a general, he must find a way to protect his people, so he is willing to put on armor and go into battle.

If he were to resolutely launch a war for his own selfishness, then I'm sorry, it is impossible for Xiao Yue to do so.

Fortunately, Ji Shaoyuan also had the same idea.

"Northern border, I will stick to it with you."

Looking up at the bright moonlight, Ji Shaoyuan made a solemn promise.

In my name, protect my people.

"Ah."

Xiao Yue Ji Shaoyuan smiled side by side, staring at the starry sky.

……

Xin Zhaoyi is happy, and this news has caused quite a disturbance in the East Palace.

Ji Changdeng has a calm mind, but other people are different. They think that Xin Zhaoyi's child is a disaster. Once the prince is born, the advantage of His Royal Highness will no longer exist.

Ji Changdeng was speechless, "I don't know whether you are so concerned about an unformed fetus, whether it is male or female, is it unfounded to worry about?"

It's not that Ji Changdeng is too calm, it's mainly because Emperor Longtai is old and only a few years away from his death.So what if the child is a prince?Xin Zhaoyi has no backing from the court's dignitaries behind her, and she is not as favored as the imperial concubine An Guifei. She has little advantage in competing for the reserve position.

It's unlikely that Emperor Longtai's head will get hot, and he wants to pass the throne to a fledgling child.

Unless Emperor Longtai wanted to subjugate the country early, the child won the throne and won't sit for long.

Ji Changdeng believed that Emperor Yilongtai's IQ would not do such a stupid thing, but his subordinates and staff thought differently.

"Throughout the ages, Lao Lai Zi, Lao Lai Bao, Your Majesty, you have to be careful. Your Highness's mother died early, Princess Xiangli is about to get married, and she has to leave Beijing soon. Your Highness has to make plans for himself."

The staff took the initiative to help Ji Changdeng with a worried tone.

Concubine Ning passed away, Ji Shaoyuan and Xiao Yue were leaving, Ji Changdeng had no one to help him, the disadvantage was obvious.

Ji Changdeng smiled, "It seems that you have forgotten the lonely uncle."

Not long ago, Emperor Longtai granted Ning Zhen the third-class new embo and Hai Shi the third-rank Shuren. Following Ji Shaoyuan's wishes, he also rewarded Ning Zhen's daughters with some gold, silver, jewels, silk and satin, which can be regarded as extra makeup.

Ji Shaoyuan met the girls of the Ning family before, and felt that they were all law-abiding, so he simply gave them a face and rewarded them with a lot of good things. This time, with the reward from Emperor Longtai, the marriage of the girls of the Ning family will not be troublesome.

Ning Zhen's talent is mediocre, and he was enfeoffed as a servant. Ning Zhen's eldest son has a little strength, so Emperor Longtai directly ordered him to be thrown into the Xiaoqi Camp for training.

The other children went to the Imperial College to study. Out of the role of their relatives, they at least trained some learned people to help a group of Ji Changdeng in the future.

As soon as the Ning family was mentioned, some people showed a bit of disdain, "Then what kind of good seedlings can be produced in the family of the last people?"

"Ok?"

Ji Changdeng narrowed his eyes.

The subordinate officials knew that their misfortune came from their mouths, and they accidentally said what was in their hearts, so they had to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"The Ning family is Gu's mother's family. The prosperity and wealth will not be short of them, but that's all. Gu can't force them into other places for their sake."

Ji Changdeng said in a calm tone.

Concubine Ning passed away within a few years of entering the palace because of Ning's family, Ji Changdeng was very worried about this.

Ji Changdeng sometimes felt very regretful about the old couple of the Ning family returning home on a crane. If not, he would definitely seek justice for Concubine Ning.

The Ning family is headed by Ning Zhen and his wife, no matter how dissatisfied, Ji Changdeng can only hold his nose and admit it out of long-term considerations.

Of course, the Ning family was dishonest, and he didn't mind both old and new grudges.

The aide pointed to the sky, "Don't forget, Your Highness, your mother is the first queen, and Dongping County's mansion is your serious natal family."

In order to elevate Ji Changdeng's status, and for the sake of integrity, Emperor Longtai registered Ji Chang under the name of Empress Zhaode, and his nominal natal family was indeed the Duke of Dongping County.

"The prince of the county is a malleable talent, and His Highness will be like a tiger with wings added to this good general."

The staff did not miss the opportunity to compliment Ji Changdeng.

Thinking of the behavior of the Huo family, Ji Changdeng couldn't help laughing, "Sister and brother-in-law are about to go to the northern border, and the safety of the Huo family will be taken care of by Gu."

Without Ji Shaoyuan, Ji Changdeng would not be where he is today.

A subordinate officer suddenly suggested, "Your Highness, it would be better if the daughter of the Huo family has not been married so far..."

"No, Mrs. Xiaozhen and Mrs. Kang Guo have their own ideas about their marriage, and they can't interfere."

Ji Changdeng frowned.

The Huo family and him are always not related by blood, so it's another matter if the people of the Huo family don't appreciate their acknowledgment if they rashly interfere in their private affairs.

The officer who suggested it gave a smug smile, "Yes, the next official was rude."

On the New Year's Eve, there is joy, and the lanterns in the capital are red, just like the gorgeous fireworks, which never stop.

While the palace is busy with the New Year, it is also speeding up the process of embroidering wedding dresses.

The wedding dress is a phoenix coronet and Xiapei that 99 embroiderers must rush to make within three days. In the past, only the queen could use the exquisite brocade. Now Emperor Longtai generously gave it to Princess Xiangli for the bride's wedding dress.The phoenix crown and hijab are made of dazzling colored glaze beads, a piece of bright red, embellished with dazzling orbs. Others can tell at a glance that it is a grand wedding that is difficult for ordinary people to compare.

In order to complete the wedding dress as soon as possible, the embroiderer must be foolproof. From drawing the pattern to starting the embroidery, the painstaking efforts involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Since ancient times, the emperor married a daughter, and the prince married a wife. Has there ever been such a grand gesture?Looking at Princess Xiangli and Princess Shengping, one can see that preparations for the wedding dress cannot be sloppy.

The embroidery room in the palace was busy making the wedding dress for the proud daughter of heaven, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also busy counting the dowry sent by nobles from all walks of life to add makeup to Princess Xiangli. Because the list was too long, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs counted it for a long time before finally counting it. over.

"Eunuch, the dowry is too much."

After drinking the tea, the little eunuch subconsciously slandered.

With so much dowry, all of it is used as the dowry of Princess Xiangli. Are you sure this is not sending a country to Princess Xiangli?
The head of the House of Internal Affairs glared at the little eunuch, and snapped, "What are you talking about? It's an errand assigned by His Majesty and the imperial concubine, and it must not be sloppy. Your Majesty always cherishes Princess Xiangli and arranges the dowry, but no one can expect it." Good job, work hard for the master, don't talk too much. In the palace, talkative people have no way to survive, do you hear me?"

"Yes, father-in-law."

The head of the House of Internal Affairs worried that the little eunuch was ignorant, and then said, "Your Majesty is about to send General Xiao to the north, and the princess has to go with her. Naturally, your majesty has to support the princess, lest some people look down on the princess."

"This..." The little eunuch was very surprised.

"Tell you, this matter has not been made public. After the princess gets married, everyone will know about it soon." The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked serious, "Later, you will hand over the dowry list to the princess for me. Make the princess unhappy, understand?"

"Yes, the slave obeys."
