When everyone arrived, a table was set up in the room.

Each person had a cup of soup. Mrs. Xu touched the edge of the warm cup and said, "I know you are coming back today. Taohe Zhai has been stewing it since noon and brought it over in the evening to warm on the stove."

Lin Yunyan opened it, and the golden soup was rich and fragrant.

"Nanny He's craftsmanship is so good." She praised.

Xu Jian took a spoon and took a bite. It was full of flavor.

The royal cuisine in the palace is naturally delicious, but for him, after tasting the cooking skills of Aunt He, the feeling of "going home" was truly profound and at ease.

Mrs. Xu never used much of her dinner, but today she was so happy that she couldn't help but use half a bowl more.

Xu Jian was not in a hurry to leave, but sat and talked with them about relevant matters.

He was willing to say it, and Mrs. Xu would definitely be happy to hear it. The style of Yumen was completely different from that of the capital city, and she felt more knowledgeable just listening to it.

"I heard my father talk about it when I was very young," she lamented, "but it's a pity that I have never seen it with my own eyes."

Xu Jian took a sip of tea: "We defeated Xiliang and recovered several passes outside the pass. Yumen is now considered safe."

Hearing this, Liu Ping, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her eyes and looked between Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian.

Unable to hold back, she asked: "Brother, do you have any plans?"

Since Xu Jian brought up this topic, he would not hide it: "I do have some ideas. I want to go out for a walk while I have some free time. Of course, I have to ask for the approval of the Holy Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Mrs. Xu suddenly realized, thought about it for a moment, and said: "This is good, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon."

"We have to wait until after the New Year, when the spring is warmer." Lin Yunyan said with a smile.

Mrs. Xu agreed.

As the night fell, Mrs. Xu urged them to go back and rest.

Liu Ping sent her brother and sister-in-law out, then came back and asked Mrs. Xu: "Mom, can we go too?"

"Childish!" Mrs. Xu smiled and glared at her daughter, "The young couple went out and had sex with their family? You don't think you are in the way, but I won't get in the way."

Liu Ping laughed.

She said this on purpose, because she was afraid that her mother would say yes, but in her heart she was not so willing, but she was used to obeying.

But her mother's reaction told her the answer.

Mother is happy to see the success.

Mrs. Xu's idea is not complicated at all.

When traveling far away, many people are a burden.

A-Ping hasn't announced her intention to leave the palace, so without A-Jian and the princess, the mansion will not be empty without her alone.

Mrs. Xu has experienced being "alone" in the Duke Fu's mansion for too long. Even at her age, she still doesn't like that feeling.

Of course, she could bear not speaking, but both Ajian and the princess were extremely attentive and sensitive people, and they would consider their actions for her.

If A Ping got married, they would definitely propose it and take her out together.

But the young couple were in high spirits, and since she was followed by an elder, it was inevitable that there would be inconveniences.

Mrs. Xu will never get in the way.

Therefore, if you go out in the spring next year and play for a year or two, several places will be suitable.

The most important thing is that Mrs. Xu knows very well that neither A Jian nor the princess is a playful person.

Rather than saying that I want to go sightseeing, I would rather say that I have to go.

In such a forced situation, it is definitely not a good thing for a family of all ages to leave without any one left.

Mrs. Xu may not have grasped the other truth so quickly, but she was born in a general family. She is the daughter of the border guard commander Xu Mang. What she knows best is that the general who holds military power must have female relatives staying in the capital.

, stay under the nose of His Majesty.

A Jian and the others left Beijing, and of course they were not in a "will be away" situation, but Mrs. Xu still wanted to stay to save A Jian some trouble.

In the past two years, Ah Jian has had enough things to do for Yumen and His Highness.

Mrs. Xu hoped that Xu Jian could take a rest, but Xu Jian got up again before dawn, dressed up and prepared to go to court.

In front of the palace gate, Xu Jian looked for Lin Yu and bowed respectfully.

There were many people and many eyes, and it was difficult for the husband and wife to talk about important matters.

Xu Jian said: "After going to court, I would like to go to the royal study room to meet the saint first, and then return to the uncle's mansion with the princess before noon."

"The old lady was thinking about it yesterday," Lin Yu patted Xu Jian's arm and said, "But business matters are more important."

When their father-in-law and son-in-law were talking, others did not have the shamelessness to approach Xu Jian even if they wanted to show their kindness.

Only An Yibo, who was already familiar with and had good friendships, greeted him cheerfully and agreed to have two more bowls of wine during the Chinese New Year.

When he went to court, in the Jinluan Hall, just hearing the voice of the Holy Sage, the ministers knew that he was in a good mood today.

No one can think of pouring cold water on them, and the emperor and his ministers will be happy at the court meeting.

After going to court, Dingbei Hou went to the imperial study room with Xu Jian.

Yesterday, the Holy One said that the Marquis of Dingbei should rest for a few days and settle down his family situation, but the Marquis did not dare to ask for help, so he still came today.

Xu Jian gave way to Marquis Dingbei first. After all, he had a lot of court affairs and family affairs here, and he had prepared some words that the Holy Emperor might not be too happy to hear. It was better not to make Marquis Dingbei feel uneasy too.

"Eunuch Cao," Xu Jian called, "The Holy Father said that if I want to see His Highness, I should mention it to your father-in-law."

Eunuch Cao knew this and looked around, asking Xu Jian to take a step to speak.

"The Zajia family and the Duke of Guo must tell each other from the bottom of their hearts that His Highness's condition is not very good. It is not necessary to meet him."

Xu Jian raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "After all, I have been a monarch for many years, and I am accompanying His Highness to observe the government..."

"The Duke of the State values ​​friendship," Eunuch Cao sighed. "In that case, just show your face for a little while. The miscellaneous family heard from Yuqing Palace that your Highness either slept or talked nonsense all day long. He was really thinking.

I'm afraid I haven't been awake for more than an hour. His Highness suddenly woke up for a while, and the other party quickly reported it, but before His Majesty arrived at Yuqing Palace, His Highness was confused again. This happened several times, so..."

The words were not finished, but Xu Jian understood.

If the incident happened too many times, Yuqing Palace would not rush to report it. He was afraid that the Holy Emperor would complain, and he was also afraid that something would happen halfway.

After all, it is winter, not to mention the cold, and the ground is not easy to walk on, especially when it snows, it is even more difficult to be careless.

Who cares if the Holy One bumps into someone while he is in a hurry?

Xu Jian thanked Eunuch Cao, and Eunuch Cao ordered a servant to lead Xu Jian over.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yuqing Palace is still closed.

The palace maids who handle daily food and clothing are also very careful, carefully checking people and things before handing them over.

With Eunuch Cao's badge, Xu Jian went in smoothly, and was led to Li Shao by Eunuch Guo.

Li Shao was awake and sitting behind the big case. There was a study room above and several notebooks stacked up.

Eunuch Gao was taking care of her. When he saw Xu Jian, he hurriedly said hello.

Li Shao didn't realize it at all. He opened a booklet, stared at it, and suddenly raised his hand and smashed it on the ground: "That's bullshit!"

Several copies have been thrown on the floor.

Xu Jian bent down and wanted to help pick it up.

Eunuch Gao quickly waved his hand quietly, walked to Xu Jian, and said in a low voice: "We will pick them up together later after His Highness has finished throwing them away."

Now that I have picked it up, I just stack it there and wait for Li Shao to continue throwing it away.

"I'll pick up the copy and take a look," Xu Jian said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I won't stab His Highness."

Eunuch Gao had no choice but to let him.

Xu Jian opened it, with a pale expression on his brows.

If Lin Yunyan were here, she could see Xu Jian's hidden unhappiness and anger at a glance, but no one else could.

Therefore, Eunuch Gao only saw Duke Fuguo, who had no expression on his face, and commented on the empty booklet like His Highness, "It really doesn't make sense."

Eunuch Gao was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Duke Fu looking over, he thought for a while and explained: "His Highness had a bad temper when he was ill, and he clamored for reading the brochures. Where can you find them? I had to ask Eunuch Cao for instructions and get some blank brochures. You can

Look, there is a small seal stamped on the back, just to distinguish it and leave it to His Highness."

Xu Jian nodded slightly and asked again: "Besides the blank book, what else have been arranged for His Highness?"

Eunuch Gao pointed to the side: "Your Highness, let me hang up a map."

Xu Jian saw it.

This map only covers the distribution of the Chief Secretary of the state government and does not involve other information such as topography and landforms.

Eunuch Gao added: "Sometimes it's me, and sometimes it's a certain adult in the court. Whatever His Highness tells me, I just nod in agreement. If Your Highness wants to lecture, then just listen..."

It's like singing.

Eunuch Gao was not used to it at first, but as time goes by, everyone in Yuqing Palace can play multiple roles.
