wait for another year

Chapter 79

Just after the Lantern Festival, the imperial court ordered Deng Xiang to be the general of Zhengsu, and Deng Fuyu and Deng Chengfeng to be the vanguards. In addition, Deng Ao, as the Marshal of Rebellion, continued to lead Deng Guanxing to conquer the rebels.

Deng Fanyun, who had not yet arrived, paid homage to his servant, and at the same time took the title of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, took charge of the capital, and was responsible for the food and grass of the two armies.

Cui Jinghu, who had just become a father, had not yet returned from the battlefield of suppressing the rebels, but he joined the army and went to Suzhou, which shows that the Deng family valued him.

The two armies set off on the same day, traveling day and night, and it is said that within two months, they will reach the city of Suzhou.

"It seems that Deng Yan still prefers Deng Xiang." Zhao Xu was thoughtful.

Xuanyuan Hui has been going out early and coming back late recently, except for going to bed, he is almost rooted in the army, all other affairs are in the hands of Zhao Xu and Shen Mi, both of them are too busy to touch the ground.

"That's right, Marshal Goni, sounds pretty, but now that the traitor is going to vote for me in Suzhou, isn't Marshal Goni also living under General Zhengsu?"

Zhao Xu put down the official document and looked out the window. It was bitterly cold in the northwest, even though it was the Chinese New Year, but it was still ice and snow. "After 24 came back, let him come to see me. How much is the military supplies? Has he figured it out?"

Shen Mi raised his forehead, "Although this young man is diligent and meticulous, he is also too fussy. Although he is precise, he still wastes time."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Isn't it just a matter of pennies and pennies? If Ling Ai follows this iron cock in the future, she will definitely not suffer and end up poor."

"Wangfei is joking..." Shen Mi was about to say something when he saw Bai Shao, who was beside Wangfei who had met a few times in the past, hurriedly begged to see him.

Seeing Bai Shao's expression, Zhao Xu smiled and asked, "But it's done?"

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" Bai Shao immediately reported back, "I'll report back first, I'll be here in two hours."

Zhao Xu stood up and straightened her clothes, "Bai Su, go quickly to the camp to find the lord, and you said that the concubine is coming, please ask the lord to lead me out of the city to meet her."

Xuanyuan Hui was full of surprises, and when he arrived at the gate of the city, Zhao Xu was already dressed in court clothes and led the crowd to wait.

Xuanyuanhui stepped forward quickly, but couldn't help but pause—Zhao Xu was not wearing the imperial concubine Su's crown, but a purple gown. It was obvious that what was waiting here today was not Xuanyuanhui's Suwang Concubine, but Suwang Zhao Situ.

Zhao Xu glanced at him quietly, then raised his eyes to Zhizhi Guandao, his meaning was self-evident.

The Dugu family is the founder of the country, and they have not been friendly with the gentry who have been intertwined since the previous dynasty for 300 years.

Concubine Dugugui has lost her son, King Su is her only reliance in the world, she will never tolerate him sinking and forgetting himself for a man.

She lost her husband and son within a few years, and was demoted to be a commoner. She has suffered too much and done too much for Suzhou.

In terms of emotion and reason, they must not let her feel sad and anxious again.

Xuanyuan Hui could only feel that his mouth was full of bitterness, the joy of the adoptive mother leaving the tiger's lair and the reunion of mother and son after a long absence had been diluted by seven or eight.

In the distance, I saw an extremely simple green gauze car, Xuanyuan Hui stepped forward first, and knelt in the middle of the city gate.

Zhao Xu knelt down diagonally behind him, her forehead resting on the frozen sand.

Shen Mi hesitated for a while, but after all, he was still not on par with Zhao Xu, and knelt back again.

When Concubine Dugu got out of the car, she saw such a scene, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips in satisfaction, and said lightly: "The emperor is free."

Xuanyuan Hui stood up, took a step forward to support Concubine Dugu's arm, choked up and said, "Mother, you have suffered."

His aunt is Empress Dowager Deng, and according to etiquette, Concubine Dugu is just his mother and concubine, but he calls him "mother". It can be seen that King Su has lost half of his face and doesn't want to give Chang'an any more.

"My Shiro has grown up so much..." Dowager Dugu's eyes flashed with emotion, but she quickly restrained herself.

She glanced lightly at the officials kneeling in the dust, "It's so cold, I'm so sorry to bother you, old woman, to wait for me for a long time. You are too inconsiderate, my son."

Her gaze swept across the group of officials, and finally settled on Zhao Xu who was in the front, and then moved away in a blink of an eye.

Some courtiers were already ready to move, and their figures shook slightly.

Shen Mi quietly raised her eyes, Zhao Xu still didn't move, and seemed to have no intention of speaking.

Xuanyuan Hui looked impatient and said with a smile: "Mother, you and the concubine have only met once, and haven't seen each other for six years, right? Can you still recognize them now?"

Shen Mi silently recalled the quarrel between his wife and his old mother just after entering the house, and looked at Xuanyuan Hui with a little more sympathy in his eyes.

"Zhilan Yushu, so romantic, there are few people in the world, why can't you recognize them?" Princess Dugu walked in front of Zhao Xu, and said with a smile, "You took a lot of effort to save me from Beijing this time, The concubine has not thanked you yet."

Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "Since he followed me to call you mother, it is natural for a son to be filial to his mother, so what is there to thank you for?"

Zhao Xu respectfully said: "This is the prince's plan, Xu dare not be greedy for credit."

Concubine Dugu smiled, "Zhao Xu is not only your first wife, but also the humerus of the imperial court. It's freezing, so you let him kneel like this? Why don't you hurry up and help him up?"

Xuanyuan Hui couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he had no choice but to go to Zhao Xu's side, just as he was about to reach out to help Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu stood up by himself and glanced at the officials behind him.

Xuanyuan Hui understood, "Please come up, Shen Changshi, you will treat everyone with a banquet on behalf of the king, the concubine, and the concubine."

Concubine Dugu smiled and handed her left hand to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu paused for a moment, still supported the concubine through his clothes, and said in a low voice, "Concubine, be careful."

Xuanyuan Hui immediately supported the concubine from the other side, and smiled brightly, "I have been exhausted all the way, mother will rest for a few days, and then I will accompany mother to take a good tour of Suzhou City."

Shen Mi and the others watched the family walk away, feeling a little confused.

The making things difficult and cold eyes in the speculation did not appear, Zhao Hue was relieved, but also faintly uneasy, quietly fell behind Shen Mi, "Master Shen..."

Shen Mi turned back to look at him, but Zhao Hue couldn't ask any more questions, thinking that I can't ask: "Lord Yuezhang, please help me find out whether Princess Dugu is satisfied with my cousin or not?"

He was looking forward to Ai Ai, but Shen Mi could see what he was thinking, and shook his head and said, "You, don't worry about things in the inner house. The more pleasing to the eye."

Zhao Hue felt relieved, "That means the concubine doesn't intend to embarrass my cousin?"

Shen Mi sighed: "If it's difficult, it's easy to handle."

I'm afraid that it's like today, people are trying to save face, and taking advantage of the laws of nature and humanity, if they really want to make trouble, how can there be half a point to fight back?

He was a little worthless for Zhao Xu.
