The prince does not fight for the heir

Perhaps it was because the men were still fighting the rebellion on the front line. Mrs. Xie was restless and hadn't gone out much for a year. She originally said that she wanted to start seeing her husband's family for Fu Xuechen. Anyway, Fu Xuechen was only sixteen and was infatuated with being The female gentleman always relies on her work in Jinghua Garden and refuses to come back to stay at home, so Mrs. Xie followed her first.

The good news is that at Fu Rushuang's in-law's house, Lin Jiashu finally got rid of the obedience. In the days to come, the two parents only need to discuss together and set a formal wedding date.

But to Fu Xuechen's surprise, the family letter from Fu Chuanyi and Fu Yuchen came again a few days ago. The tone of the letter was light and cheerful. towards.

"I really let Xuechen say it!" Mrs. Xie was surprised and deeply moved by Fu Xuechen's prediction that the war would not last more than a year and a half.

But Fu Xuechen suddenly felt that the reborn is not so useful. After adding variables to many things, the process of development will also change. Comparing the two lives, it seems that there is only one more Fu Yuchen. He did not go in the previous life, but he went in this life. It is because the war has come to an end half a year earlier than in the previous life, and the soldiers who went out are about to return to the dynasty.

Coming out of Jinghua Garden, Fu Xuechen was about to board the carriage and go back to the residence, when Li Zhen's voice came from the direction of the gate: "Miss Fu, wait! Miss Fu, please wait!"

Following the prestige, I saw Li Zhen jogging over from the gate with a face full of joy, ran to the front, immediately bowed to salute, but held a small package high above his head with both hands, and sent it to Fu Xuechen.

"Miss Fu, this is my highness's handwritten letter from Xijiang just now. Please accept and read it for Miss Fu." Li Zhen spoke earnestly, with a hint of expectation.

It is said to be handwritten, but it looks more than simple handwritten. I don't know what else is added in it?It wasn't the first time that Fu Xuechen received a letter from Yoon Zuo in Jinghua Garden, but it was the first time he received an item, so he couldn't help taking it curiously, and opened the small package on the spot.

It was half a white jade pendant, the top-grade suet jade, carved with exquisite dragon patterns, but it was broken, and only half was left, which was wrapped in thick cotton balls and carefully protected.

What does it mean?Fu Xuechen was puzzled, but saw Li Zhen's complexion changed drastically.

"What's wrong?" Fu Xuechen asked hurriedly.

Li Zhen blurted out: "This is the jade pendant that my Highness has worn around his neck since he was a child! Why, how did it break?"

Fu Xuechen was also taken aback when he heard the words, and when he saw the letter beside him, he quickly unfolded it and read it.

It turned out that a few days ago, Hui Qiang could not hold back the soldiers of the Darong Empire, and once again expressed his willingness to surrender to the Darong Empire. Yun Zuo and Fu Yuchen were invited to the king's tent of Hui Qiang as envoys for peace talks. Unexpectedly, there were rebels on the spot Making trouble and wanting to assassinate the envoy to disrupt the peace talks, Yoon Zuo was dodged by a dagger that grazed his neck and broke the jade pendant in two.

Fortunately, the traitor was quickly arrested and beheaded on the spot, and the peace talks continued...

Yoon Zuo was also shocked into a cold sweat after the incident. Looking back on this dangerous situation, he felt that it must be the effect of the Ping An knot presented by Fu Xuechen, which saved him from disaster. Under his thoughts, he simply sent the half jade pendant back , as a gift to Fu Xuechen in return, and agreed that when he returns, the jade pendant will be combined into one and will not be separated again.

Fu Xuechen: ... I always feel that there is something in Yoon-joo's words, hum!
Did such a thing happen in the previous life of the prince sorcerer?It's a pity that the reborn man answered whatever he asked, and he didn't know how to speak up if he didn't ask, otherwise he wouldn't have to wait until now to be shocked by Yun Zuo's sudden encounter.

Looking up at Li Zhen's expression of wanting to know the contents of the letter, Fu Xuechen apologized: "Sorry! Your Highness asked me not to tell you about the matter, so don't tell the noble concubine if you are wronged about Yupei." Your Majesty, His Highness is safe now, there is no danger, when he comes back, if he wants to tell you, you will always know!"

Li Zhen couldn't help being disappointed, and reluctantly watched as Fu Xuechen put the half jade pendant and the letter back away, took it in his hand, got into the car and left.

Although he didn't know what happened, why His Royal Highness's jade pendant was broken into half, and why he sent the broken jade pendant back to Fu Xuechen, and asked the other party to keep it a secret, but Li Zhen was relieved to hear that His Highness was safe and sound. , couldn't help but began to guess the master's intention again.

Divide the jade pendant into two halves, give half to Miss Fu, and don't plan to let the imperial concubine know, what do you mean?No, it wouldn't be what he thought, would it?Li Zhen was sweating in his heart.

Fu Xuechen happened to have a semi-finished long-knot purse in his room, and just took it out to continue weaving, and put the half jade pendant in the purse.

This thing is too expensive, even if it is only half of it, it can be sold for a high price, and it feels unsafe to put it anywhere, and it would be bad if it was stolen!

If she was not at home, let the little girl who cleaned her find it, she would inevitably chew her tongue and let others know...Fu Xuechen finally chose to carry it with her, so no matter whether she changed clothes or took a bath, no one would dare to open her up and sew her to death Small purse.

……

Unknowingly, the Mid-Autumn Festival passed again, and on a certain day in late autumn, Beijing suddenly became lively.

Many noble ladies in the Jinghua Garden have temporarily asked for leave, and they want to go to the teahouse and restaurant on the street with their families to watch the fun. Fu Xuechen also received an inquiry from Mrs. Xie, asking if she would like to go together, and the second prince led all the teachers to return. Towards!
Fu Xuechen was a little dazed when he heard Xie's question, it was too fast!Unknowingly, not only the end of the war was several months earlier than the memory of the eldest prince's previous life, but also the day when the army returned to court quietly came. .

The streets were extremely lively, different from the solemnity of sending the army back to the expedition. Because it was a triumphant return, the good news spread. Many people who came to join in the fun bought flowers and so on. While waiting in the street, they chatted happily. With the sound of the voice, I can already feel the festive and joyous taste like a new year's festival.

Following Mrs. Xie to the teahouse, took a seat by the window, ordered several dishes of food, sipped tea and waited for the generals to enter the city, Fu Xuechen's thoughts drifted back to the past life experience that the prince and mage said back then.

According to what he said, when he came back this time, the second prince was granted the title of king of Qin, while the sixth prince still stayed there for two years, in order to sit in charge of the seven guards of Huiqiang who had just stopped fighting. This is also a kind of exercise. Military and political disposal capabilities.

So this time, Mrs. Xie might be disappointed. Fu Chuanyi would most likely be able to come back, and his son would not come back so soon. The prince and mage said that Fu Chuanyi came back with injuries, but the war ended several months earlier. Maybe Fu Chuanyi is okay?
Looking at the happy appearance of the people on the street, no matter what the second prince's character is in private, it is a fact that he won the battle. The people can't see how he is, but they can see that he has won many battles and triumphant With the trend, his reputation should reach a relatively peak position in a short period of time, so it is really strange that he cannot be established as the heir apparent.

Not long after, the noise from the street suddenly increased by an octave, and the first guard team came over!

In the teahouse, people who also came to occupy seats and wait to see the triumphant return flocked to the window to look out. Fu Xuechen also looked out of the window. It was completely opposite to the silence of the crowd when the army arrived last time. This time, the people cheered wherever they went. up.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The people on both sides of the street below were shouting at first, and soon the voices converged into a relatively neat and rhythmic roar. Under the jubilant momentum, even the sergeants were smiling, singing triumphantly, without any evil spirits .

Behind the banner, the second prince's high-spirited figure appeared. This time, there were no generals clearing the way in front of him. He took the lead and led the victorious army to the Desheng Gate of the Imperial Palace to be greeted by civil and military officials. After that, you have to go to the Taimiao, where you will offer victories and sacrifices to your ancestors under the auspices of the emperor, and finally accept the emperor's reward.

Due to the peace talks between the two parties, the Hui and Qiang returned to the empire. This time the triumphant return canceled the part of the prisoner offering. This was something that the triumphant soldiers had already announced to the world by the Ministry of War one day before their arrival. Therefore, everyone who came to watch None of the common people expected to see the traitor captives in the triumphant procession, but an accident happened.

Just after the second prince passed by, a group of Huiqiang warriors appeared in the middle of the team. They were not tied up, nor did they carry large weapons. They were just like ordinary guards, dressed in uniform, and marched solemnly.

And under the protection of these Hui Qiang warriors, a golden domed incense chariot pulled by two horses slowly drove up behind, and a total of eight young Hui Qiang women followed on the left and right sides of the incense chariot.

Seeing that there was a Qiang woman in the triumphant team, the people on the side of the road were very surprised. They were quiet for a while, and then a bigger commotion erupted.

How is this going?Didn't you say that there will be no prisoner offering ceremony this time?What happened to these Huiqiang warriors?Why are there still young Huiqiang women?Who is sitting in the incense car that is tightly surrounded by cloth curtains?

Seeing the incense chariot and women's team like this, the common people didn't care about the dozens of gift carts following behind the incense chariot, and another group of Huiqiang warriors following them and escorting them. Wondering who the hell will be in the car?There is a team of women accompanying him. Could it be that the person sitting in the incense car is a woman?
It's a pity that the curtain of the incense chariot is always tightly closed, through the curtain, no one can see what's going on in the chariot, and the people can only regret that there is no wind today, so the curtain can be blown open for people to find out.

Even the ladies and gentlemen in the teahouse were dumbfounded, discussing in private, wondering what was going on.

On the contrary, Fu Xuechen's expression was strange. The scene in front of her gave her a sense of sight as she traveled through the world of Huanzhugege. The difference was that the fragrant car in Huanzhugegeli was unobstructed. In the story, Concubine Xiang entered Beijing with her father, and her momentum was very grand.

The incense chariot escorted by the Huiqiang people in front of us is more like a prisoner, rather low-key and downcast, and it is closer to the one mentioned in Jin Yong's novel. The scene of the emperor.

Could it be that the second prince also came up with this trick, bringing back Princess Huiqiang as a spoil of war, right?
Did the prince sorcerer have such a thing in his previous life?Fu Xuechen began to secretly complain about the prince's sorcerer's temperament that he would push and move, but he wouldn't move if he didn't push. If he didn't ask, he didn't know what important information he would take the initiative to say.

The entire Huiqiang team passed by, and it was the turn of the two princes who went to the expedition. They were both gray-bearded veterans in their fifties, but they were still strong and fully dressed, riding on the horse, looking forward.

The Duke passed by, and he was the Marquis. At this time, the two sisters Xie and Fu Xuechen saw Fu Chuanyi's figure. It seemed that Fu Chuanyi was fine and in good spirits. His face was refined and his temperament was honest. If it weren't for the armor, he looked more like a civil servant than a general.

There are so many taverns and teahouses with two or three floors on both sides of the street, and Fu Chuanyi couldn't know in advance which building his family would be watching in, or if no one would come at all, so he kept his eyes on the road and didn't care about the roadside surroundings at all. audience.

Mrs. Xie had long been used to it and didn't care. Seeing that her husband was fine, she smiled happily.

It's a pity that when the whole team passed by, Xie couldn't see the figure of the sixth prince and his own son, and couldn't help sighing. In fact, Fu Yuchen had mentioned in the last family letter that this time he would stay with the sixth prince in the border area. He won't follow the army to triumph, but he always has the idea of ​​​​what if in his heart, and there is always some regrets if he can't see people.

After watching the excitement and returning to the mansion, before the buttocks were warmed up, a servant came from the palace.

Mrs. Xie warmly entertained her, and taking advantage of her husband's triumphant return, she gave the servant a lot of rewards, but the servant was sent by Concubine Xie. The Marquis of Jingbei will be promoted soon, and the servant's attitude is much more respectful than before, and the two get along very happily.

After the servant left, Fu Xuechen was called to him by Mrs. Xie, only then did he realize that there was a celebration banquet in the palace tonight. The generals and their family members who returned triumphantly from the banquet were also invited. The concubine entertained her according to the order, and Mrs. Xie was going to take her with her.

Since Fu Xuechen is the concubine of the Hou family who has not yet been engaged, this is allowed, not to mention that Fu Xuechen has already known from the prince's mage that after this war, Fu Chuanyi will be able to accumulate meritorious service and be promoted to the Duke of Jingguo. The daughter of the Hou's mansion is now the daughter of the Duke's mansion!Even Xie's wife's level can be increased accordingly.

In fact, even though the imperial decree of the award had just been issued, before the document informing Fu's mansion to change the door plaque from the Marquis' mansion to the Duke's mansion had not yet been sent to the mansion, the servant told Mrs. Xie the news that Fu Chuanyi was about to be promoted to be the Duke of the state. The first time she went to a palace banquet, she could be called the Duke's wife, and Fu Xuechen was already the daughter of the Duke's mansion.

But Fu Rushuang has already engaged in a marriage, and according to the law, she can be regarded as the wife of the Lin family's Shulin Tanhua. The imprint of the daughter of the Marquis family on her body will be greatly reduced, and she is no longer suitable for entering and leaving the palace. Unfortunately, she loses the qualification to go to the palace banquet together.

Fu Xuechen did not refuse the Xie family's arrangement to bring her to the banquet. She had Princess Zhiling as a good friend in the palace, and she also made good friends with the noble daughters of various families. embarrassing situation.

Now, with her status as an outstanding graduate of Jinghuayuan Girls' School and a teacher who stays at the school, she has become an outstanding existence among the noble girls. She can stand upright wherever she goes without fear, and there is no need to hide home.

What's more, the distinguished guest who came back to Qiang might show his true face at the palace banquet tonight. Will the other party perform a dance like the concubine Xiang in the story?Fu Xuechen was very curious, but she didn't want to miss the chance to eat melons.
