Although Dongling Yuanyong was a little curious about the fox, he didn't ask anything.
He didn't ask, but Dongling Yuanhao continued to explain automatically without stopping:
"When I first met the Queen's Wife, I found that the Queen's Wife seemed to be particularly afraid of the cold. Every time I saw her later, she would be close to the stove. I accepted the Queen's Wife with such a good thing, so I thought
I need to peel off the fox skin and let the craftsmen make a fox jacket for the emperor's wife as a thank you gift..."
When Dongling Yuanyong heard this, he turned cold for some reason. He looked at Dongling Yuanhao angrily and said:
"Are you so worried about risking your life as a tiger to snatch a fox just to make a coat for Ximen Yourong?"
"Yes, the fox's fur keeps you warm."
"Is Ximen Yourong going to die of cold, asking you to work so hard?"
Dongling Yuanhao knew at a glance that Dongling Yuanyong was angry, but he was not very afraid and even added fuel to the fire and said:
"Brother, don't tell me. I wouldn't be surprised if the emperor's sister-in-law really gets sick from the cold one day. I have never seen any queen dressed so shabbily. In this winter, she is wearing plain clothes.
It is so thin that the female relatives of ordinary wealthy families are more beautiful and warmer than her. And her jewelry, any big palace maid's head is more attractive than hers. When she goes out, no one knows that she is the queen...
She eats so much... tsk tsk, she might be the poorest queen in history."
Dongling Yuanhao pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, but Dongling Yuanyong listened with a blank face. He knew that Dongling Yuanhao was hinting to him that the treatment he gave Ximen Yourong did not meet the Queen's standards at all.
But in fact, except for the fact that he specifically told Ximen Yourong not to give Ximen Yourong too much courtesy at the beginning, he basically didn't care about what Ximen Yourong ate or wore.
He only officially entered Lengyue Palace two days after his wedding. To be honest, the changes in Lengyue Palace surprised him.
He didn't expect that Ximen Yourong was planting flowers and trees in the dilapidated Lengyue Palace, enjoying himself so much that he kept the Lengyue Palace in order.
He didn't know why, but he didn't think Ximen Yourong's simplicity was ugly, and he didn't think it would suit her if she was covered in gold, silver and jewelry.
However, when Dongling Yuanhao said that Ximen Yourong looked "poor", he felt uncomfortable. It was as if Ximen Yourong was not poor, but he was poor!
Although there was some undue irritation in his heart, Dongling Yuanyong did not show it or respond to Dongling Yuanhao's joke. He instead explained:
"Let me prepare. We are resting in the army tonight, and tomorrow morning we will inspect the military exercises."
When Dongling Yuanhao heard this, he probably guessed that the reason why Dongling Yuanyong came out of the city to the military camp today was because Dongling Yuanyong originally planned to come to the military camp after his wedding to personally review the strength of the imperial army.
It happened that he was injured, so Dongling Yuanyong came to the military camp in advance to complete the inspection of military affairs.
On the second day, after Dongling Yuanyong watched the step-by-step drill in the army, he was generally satisfied with it, but if it were to be used on the battlefield, it would inevitably be a bit inflexible.
So, he divided the two teams into practicing battles with real swords and guns on the battlefield.
Dongling Yuanyong went into battle in person, and the one who was "hostile" to him was the deputy commander-in-chief Zhang Xianyan.
After a more realistic exercise, the lieutenant generals of the army felt the reality of actual combat in the "confrontation" between Dongling Yuanyong and Zhang Xianyan. Therefore, the divided soldiers on both sides did not dare to deal with it at will...!
Finally, the half-day exercise was completed with the duel between Dongling Yuanyong and Zhang Xianyan.
However, I don’t know if it was because he was too serious that Dongling Yuanyong was stabbed in the abdomen by Zhang Xianyan. He was asked by the military doctor to return to the palace and rest for a period of time, and not to make any major movements again.
As a result, one of Dongling's two children and grandchildren was bitten by a tiger and the other was injured during a military exercise. They both had no choice but to leave the military camp and return to the palace to recuperate.
On the way back to the palace, Dongling Yuanhao, who was also in the same carriage, looked at Dongling Yuanyong who closed his eyes and meditated and asked hesitantly:
"Brother Emperor, are you dissatisfied with the military formation I have reorganized in the past few months?"
During the first military exercise just now, although Dongling Yuanyong did not express dissatisfaction, he went into battle himself and randomly changed some formations for practical use.
Dongling Yuanhao not only saw that Dongling Yuanyong's formation was more rapid and effective, but also saw that Dongling Yuanyong was somewhat dissatisfied with the existing military formation.
Dongling Yuanyong slowly opened his eyes and looked at the somewhat shocked Dongling Yuanhao. He said impartially:
"Your preparation incorporates the essence of the military manual. It is usable, but it is not fast enough."
"oh……."
Dongling Yuanhao was not comforted. His imperial brother was indeed dissatisfied, but he had actually put a lot of effort into being his commander-in-chief.
He originally thought that what he did would be praised by Dongling Yuanyong, but now it seems that he is still a little bit behind.
Dongling Yuanyong saw his negativity, so he scolded him:
"Yuan Hao, remember your identity! You are the commander-in-chief of the imperial city. Even if you don't do it perfectly, you can't belittle yourself."
"I'm not belittling myself, I just feel that I have tried my best to do it, but I still haven't satisfied the emperor, so I feel a little ashamed of his importance." Dongling Yuanhao said dullly.
"Who says I am not satisfied with what you have done?"
"Brother, you don't need to comfort me. After I saw your formation, I knew how ordinary my formation was. Facts have proved that it is easy for me to talk about military affairs on paper, but when I actually go to the battlefield, my brother knows how to use troops better than me."
.”
Dongling Yuanyong heard Dongling Yuanhao's self-deprecation, he smiled and said:
"Yuan Hao, don't forget what your imperial brother has been doing during his fifteen years of exile in the frontier! But it's really rare for you to be able to do a rigorous layout despite not having much experience. Therefore, as long as you have the opportunity to hone more, with your
With your talent, in the future you will definitely become the right-hand person who can help us stabilize our lives."
Listening to what Dongling Yuanyong said, Dongling Yuanhao gradually understood that Dongling Yuanyong's expectations for him were not urgent, but gave him time and space to grow.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand when you think about it. During the fifteen years of his imperial brother's exile, it was common for him to face battlefields with real swords and guns. Therefore, it is normal for him to be familiar with actual battle formations.
But he grew up in a stable and generous environment. He didn't have much actual combat experience, so even if he had the talent to be a general, he wouldn't be perfect just because he had been a commander for a few months.
With Dongling Yuanyong's encouragement, Dongling Yuanhao's heart suddenly became clear.
As soon as he felt relaxed, he laughed again and promised that he would work harder to become a qualified commander. Then he changed the topic and asked curiously:
"Brother Imperial, your martial arts skills are obviously much better than Zhang Xianyan's. Even if you were serious during the exercise, Zhang Xianyan would not be able to hurt you, but you...!"
"On the battlefield, swords and swords are dancing wildly. No matter how good a person is in martial arts, it is inevitable that he will get injured from time to time."
"Really...I think it still doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense...!"
"Okay, don't think about it anymore, let me rest for a while."
Dongling Yuanyong is indeed a little sleepy. I don’t know if he has changed places. He didn’t sleep well last night. In addition, he got up early this morning and was busy with military exercises, so he was still injured. Therefore, he was even more
Feeling sleepy is coming!
After returning to the palace, Eunuch Cao grandly invited Dr. Ai to the Longtai Hall to check on Dongling Yuanyong's injury.
Soon, the news that Dongling Yuanyong was "seriously injured" spread throughout the palace.
For a time, there was an endless stream of people who came to Longtai Hall to say hello, but most of them were persuaded to leave by Eunuch Cao. Only Concubine Yi and You Kouyi were able to see Dongling Yuanyong.
Concubine Yi saw Dongling Yuan Yong Sha lying on the bed with a pale face. She was already worried and worried, but when she saw Dong Ling Yuan Hao also hanging an injured arm, she suddenly became even more anxious.
When she found out how the two brothers were injured, she was really furious.
Concubine Yi raised her hand and wanted to hit Dongling Yuanhao, but in the end her hand couldn't hit it. She could only look at the standing people and then the lying ones with anger and distress. She put her hand on her forehead and lamented.
:
"Your Majesty, as an emperor, you have many capable men and generals, whether you want to conduct military exercises or fight, so why do you need an emperor to go into battle in person and act in a real way? You can just move, how can you still... Oops, Fuxuan
Sister, if there is something wrong with Your Majesty, how will I see you when I go down in the future...?"
Concubine Yi was talking with tears in her eyes. Dongling Yuanyong struggled to sit up with the help of You Kouyi. He looked at Concubine Yi and comforted her in a weak voice:
"My injury is not that serious, mother and concubine don't have to worry too much!"
"Yes, concubine, your crying and shouting are too exaggerated..."
"Shut up, you are also an unfilial son. You said that your imperial brother was injured because of national affairs, and I have nothing to say? But what about you, a majestic commander of the imperial city? Why don't you do it? Go and fight with the tiger.
What a fox, the key is that you can't even defeat a tiger, and in the end you brought a disabled arm to your mother to be an eyesore. You are deliberately making your mother miserable, and it's even more heinous!"
"I...!" Dongling Yuanhao was choked by Concubine Yi and regretted that she should not have spoken.
"What are you, you, you didn't let me worry about you when you were just a lump of flesh..."
"Concubine...um..."
Dongling Yuanyong groaned, as if he was in unbearable pain. Concubine Yi's anger was diverted by this, and she quickly stepped forward to care and blame herself:
"Your Majesty, are you okay? Is the mother-in-law too noisy?"
Dongling Yuanyong's weak cry of pain made Concubine Yi forget about scolding her own son. She only looked at Dongling Yuanyong with loving eyes.
"Mother, although I am fine, I am really feeling a little overwhelmed right now and want to rest..."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi thought something serious was wrong with Dongling Yuanyong. She looked at Doctor Ai and asked:
"Is your Majesty okay?"
Doctor Ai bowed his head to Concubine Yi and respectfully replied:
"Your Majesty is seriously injured, but as long as you stay in bed for a few months and rest for a while, your Majesty will definitely be able to return to normal."
"Then why does Your Majesty look so sleepy and yet still awake?" Concubine Yi still felt uneasy.
"The concubine is at peace. That's because I gave your majesty sleeping pills. The purpose is to make your majesty sleep peacefully. At this moment, your majesty is afraid that you are sleepy, so you are not energetic."
You Kouyi, who was sitting next to Dongling Yuanyong, looked at the sleepy Dongling Yuanyong, and she said thoughtfully and softly:
"Your Majesty, in that case, I, my concubine, and others should retire first and not disturb your Majesty as he recovers from his injuries."
Dongling Yuanyong opened his eyes and looked at You Kouyi. He forced a smile and nodded. Then he closed his eyes and took a shallow breath. He seemed to have fallen asleep.
After everyone exited the Longtai Palace, when no one was watching, the gentleness on You Kouyi's face was completely gone!
