Lonely non-good minister

"Mother, don't worry, I understand this truth." Song Chun knew what she wanted to say: "It's just that I'm busy with government affairs, so I really don't have time to go to the back house."

Naturally, Queen Shen would not believe such a reason, and looked at him with a headache: "What do you like? Tell me, Queen Mother will definitely find it for you."

"Mother, don't worry about it." Song Chun got up: "Wei'er is fifteen now, a girl of his age is really a child."

Empress Shen also got up, walked up to him and took his arm: "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. You are in your prime, so it's not shameful to have a few young girls to bear children for you." For the present thing, if they can give birth to children, it is also their blessing, why should they be ashamed?
The crown princess is not too young anymore, and she can't be expected to give birth. I won't force you to neglect her, but those young concubines are in a good time to give birth, so you shouldn't neglect her. If you fulfill your duties as a husband, you should go to their house to rest more often, especially Liang Di. "

This remark made Song Chun even more repellent, he didn't want to hear it anymore, so he could only respond perfunctorily: "What the queen mother said is true, my child has remembered it."

He was dealing with himself, and Empress Shen could tell that she was helpless: "Just remember, heirs are the most important thing."

"Yes, I've made a note of it, baby." Song Chun hurried away after speaking, he really didn't want to be nagged by Queen Shen.

As soon as he returned to the East Palace, he learned that Sangong was waiting for him to discuss matters, so he could only arrange to go to the palace to inquire about the origin of the great witch Zhiyan. Now Emperor Hongming is indulging in wine and sex in the palace, regardless of government affairs, and the courtiers have no objection to this.

Rather than making detours with Emperor Hong Ming, it would be more efficient to discuss with Song Chun what to do.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, it was supposed to be the rainy season, but Song Yuan and his party did not encounter many rainy days. Since they left Tianshui County, they saw barren mountains and sandy land. The woods are thin and disorganized, and it doesn't make sense to look at.

They had been walking for more than half a month before they met the garrison pass. The other party stepped forward to ask their identities and checked the imperial court's will. After confirming that they were correct, they were allowed to pass.

"Your Highness, the sixth master's garrison is right ahead." Wei Yan immediately pointed to Song Yuan, "If you want to go around, you'll have to walk for a few more days. Your Highness, do you want to make a detour?"

Song Yuan reined in his horse and squinted his eyes for a look. The scorching sun made her feel uncomfortable all over, and the feeling of being dried in her body before the sweat broke out made her very uncomfortable.

"I'm here to go to work, and the detour is too deliberate. Since I'm passing by, I'll pay a visit." Song Yuan was quite reluctant. She really didn't know these brothers well. She was afraid that no one would remind her when she met them on the road. She couldn't recognize her for a while, and she was helpless for her brother to do this.

But she is here to take up the post, and she will have to deal with it in the future. If she hides at this time, it will be too embarrassing when she needs to deal with her later, so no matter how reluctant she is, she has to bite the bullet.

Seeing her helplessness, Wei Yan immediately said: "You don't have to stay for long, just rest your feet and say that the deadline for your appointment is coming soon. They don't have much chat with His Highness, the most they can do is chat with His Highness about the cotton supply they need in winter." A few words."

"Yeah." Song Yuan was mentally prepared and rushed to the garrison of the sixth brother Song Qian with his troops. When queuing up to enter the city, Song Yuan squinted at the big banner on the hill not far away and asked: "The garrison is there." Right? Why did you choose it there?"

Wei Yan glanced at it and explained: "The terrain is high there. Once the city is besieged, the enemy can retreat there, and there are no high mountains and dangers in front. If the foreign enemy drives straight in, it is impossible to defend. You can look farther there. It’s good to respond in time.”

"Oh." Song Yuan learned.

When it was their turn, the guards stepped forward and handed over the tokens. The soldiers guarding the city saw it, and immediately came to Song Yuan and saluted with fists together: "See Your Highness."

"Is my sixth brother in the mansion?"

"The lord will stay in the barracks and is not in the city. His Highness will come soon, but you can go to the mansion first and later. At the end, the general will send someone to report quickly."

Song Yuan glanced at Wei Yan, he nodded to confirm that he could act like this, and Song Yuan agreed.

The city gate guard specially arranged for two people to take them there. After entering the city, Song Yuan found out that there was an urn city behind it. With so many eyes on it, it's almost impossible to sneak in.

Passing through Wengcheng, the narrow streets and low-rise houses are almost covered with yellow sand. Although there are many pedestrians, most of them are wearing khaki linen clothes and turbans. There are no silks and satins. Everyone's face has been covered with sand The traces of polishing look rough.

As soon as their line of expensively dressed people appeared, they attracted a lot of scrutiny. Song Yuan was watching carefully, when a gust of wind blew towards her, and the yellow sand brought in blew her mouth and narrowed her eyes. Made her very uncomfortable.

The mansion is on the main street, and they arrived soon. The people in the mansion also got the news. The one waiting at the door was a boy about ten years old. Beside the two middle-aged people, when they saw Song Yuan, they immediately cupped their fists.

"Nephew pays respects to Uncle Jiu."

Song Yuan quickly responded, and when he got off the horse, he was still thinking about the baby's name.

There are too many elder brothers, so there are also many nephews and nieces. After the elder brothers got married, they left Zhongshan with their wives and did not go home for several years. She didn't even recognize her sister-in-law, let alone her children.

"Hurry up and be polite." Song Yuan helped him up, and even though he didn't know him, he patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically: "It's grown so big."

The boy looked up at her: "Uncle Jiu has worked hard all the way, hurry up and have a cup of tea."

After finishing speaking, he enthusiastically took Song Yuan's hand and led her in, and said: "A lady has a wedding at home. The day before yesterday, my mother took my sister to a congratulatory banquet. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it for a while. When I came back, my father went to the barracks and hasn't come home yet, but he has already invited someone to pass on the message, it's impolite, I'm here to entertain Uncle Jiu, I hope Uncle Jiu can't be blamed."

"I came here suddenly, I took the liberty." Song Yuan had a good impression of the child: "Are you practicing boxing?"

"Well, the master taught boxing today, and I'm still learning. I will check when my father comes home, so I dare not slack off." He led Song Yuan into the room, and after Song Yuan sat down, he sat down obediently: "Father said that Uncle Jiu is coming to take up his post, and he told me early in the morning that if Uncle Jiu comes, even if his parents are not at home, he must be treated well."

Song Yuan looked at him with a smile: "How many brothers are there in your family?"

"The four of them, the eldest sister and the second younger sister have all gone out, and the younger brother is still a child under three years old, so he should still be sleeping at the moment." He replied obediently: "Both parents are not at home, and the nuns are taking care of them."
