Chapter 342: Rain in the Pine Desert (8)
In the southern suburbs of Shendu, autumn hunting picnics, and they are happy.
This trip, the movement is too big, the foreshadowing is also very magnificent, Quan Ce and Princess Taiping and other people went out of the city at dawn, but an hour, the news spread loudly, many rich and idle gods are rich and noble, competing to follow, but it is worth the trip, I saw a group of dragons and phoenixes galloping horses, bows and hunting, this is not the biggest harvest, someone happened to see the four princesses around the fire, washing their hands to make soup picture, although there are many maids and servants around, many links have special people to do a good job, His Royal Highness is only responsible for some simple and clean operations, which is still amazing, who said that the princess of the Li family is arrogant and domineering, and does not abide by the way of women, looking at the appearance of this kitchen, it is clear that she is a good wife and mother.
The four princesses are having a lot of fun in the mountains and forests in the suburbs, and they are rarely interested in making some food, Quan Ce and others are all sons and nephews, only thank you for your grace, eat in your mouth, but you know whether you are warm or cold, holding a bowl, exchanging strange looks, and swallowing it with difficulty.
"It's still Da Lang well-behaved, come, eat more" Xu is Quan Ce's acting skills are the most outstanding, gobbling up, pleasing Princess Taiping, she personally held the golden ou over, and added some to him, Quan Ce was very grateful, tears were overflowing, the sky was pitiful, two lives, I have never eaten such an unpalatable thing, not only the tongue suffers, but also the throat.
It was not until night fell that everyone returned with great pleasure, and the harvest of hunting was very much, and it was piled up like a hill, and the big ones were deer, wild boars, and goats, and there were hundreds, and the small pheasants and hares were not counted, and the princesses pointed and made some distributions, except for a few families present, and there were also those who were sent to the palace, and some servants had already taken the cages and checked them, and put them in the carriage in different categories.
The group returned to the city in a mighty way, and not long after entering the door, they were blocked by Shangguan Wan'er, who went out of the palace to announce the decree.
"Wan'er met your Royal Highnesses, I heard that there was a big scene this morning, but unfortunately I didn't see it, Your Highnesses must be beautiful...... Yo, all of you Lang Jun are also in good spirits today, they are all good sons and daughters who are skilled in bow horses, look at this car, the harvest is not small...... "Shangguan Wan'er is still exquisite, and she greeted everyone for a long time, her eyes glanced at Quan Ce, and then looked at Princess Yiyang, she was a little unbearable in her heart, she forced her face to strain, and said as tactfully as possible, "Quan Langjun, please follow Wan'er into the palace, Your Majesty may have orders"
Quan Ce has not yet responded, Princess Taiping has already pressed Princess Yiyang's hand and spoke, "The palace is about to enter the palace to offer some prey to the mother queen, so I will walk with Dalang"
"That's it, it's very good" Shangguan Wan'er's mouth was full of thorns, and she couldn't say anything, so she squeezed a smile and was blessed, returned to the chariot, and walked forward to lead the way.
After pressing for a long time, he quietly lifted the curtain and looked out, facing the concerned eyes of Shang Quan Ce, his nose was sore, his eyes were red, and he hurriedly put down the curtain, not daring to look again, Lang Jun entered the palace this time, probably had a seizure, if he could go all the way, hand over a few soft words, how much can be comforting and lovesick, Princess Taiping stabbed out, but let the two of them get along this little chance is gone, I just hope that she can be in front of His Majesty for Lang Jun to forgive.
She herself, she can endure it, and she won't get in the way.
"Minister, meet Your Majesty" Quan Ce bowed his head and saluted, and a volley flew over and smashed on his shoulder.
"What a prodigal talent, merry Langjun" Empress Wu was furious, walked down the Danqi in a few steps, leaned over and scolded him angrily, "The soldiers are in danger, when I am worried, but you use public weapons for private purposes, making the city full of flashy fat powder, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”
"The minister knows the guilt" Quan Ce bowed down and bowed, not daring to refute.
"Mother Empress" Princess Taiping hurriedly ran out, called coquettishly, grabbed Empress Wu's arm and shook it, "Da Lang is for his daughter, everything is in the morning, and it has not interfered with people's livelihood, please read that he is still young, don't worry about him"
"Huh, still young? My great general, several battles in the south and the north, this is a sin, and you have to drag your aunt out to plead? Empress Wu snorted coldly, and her anger dropped a lot, "I originally intended to let you lead the troops to destroy the Khitan, so that I could meet your fiancée, but now it seems that you are willful, how can I rest assured?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a military order...... "Quan Ce took two steps on his knees and swore an oath.
"Shut up" Princess Taiping scolded sharply, and turned to pestering the martial arts, "Mother Emperor, my daughter also thinks that it is not appropriate to let Da Lang go on the expedition, he has already fought a few battles, although he has won, it may not be impossible to change people, and he will always be ordered to lead the army, but it seems that there is no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty, those old ministers and generals should have opinions, my daughter is right, Mother Emperor?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded His Royal Highness Taiping, the prince of Quan Lang is the emperor, he has made many merits, and it is not appropriate to move lightly, and what he has done today is frivolous, and the discussion of the government and the opposition is boiling, if he is entrusted with a heavy task, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm the mouth" Shangguan Wan'er said next to her, her words were much sharper, and even faintly hinted at the meaning of the master.
Quan Ce was speechless, Princess Taiping glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, if she hadn't listened to Quan Ce herself, she was afraid that she would have been blinded by her movements, thought about it, and grinded her teeth again, Shangguan Wan'er made a big effort to stop Quan Ce from going on the expedition, obviously this is Quan Ce's sincerity, then this morning's grand performance, maybe it was also in the calculation of the bad thief.
"Hmph, you can't live for your own evil, you ask for orders to let the Blue Ying Army go on the expedition, I agreed, but you yourself are still honestly staying in the gods, and you are just cultivating yourself" Empress Wu made a decision from the good as the stream.
"The ministers obey the order" Quan Ce frowned and was extremely disappointed.
"Get up, you go away" Princess Taiping was unhappy, and gently kicked him with her little feet, wanting him to quit, Quan Ce glanced at Empress Wu with a wry smile, Empress Wu stepped over, pulled him up, and said quietly, "Since you have the ability to toss these singing and dancing tricks, you have made them all out, and I will point you to the spring official of the school, and the matter of the palace banquet of the ceremony"
"Thank you for your majesty's grace" Quan Ce hurriedly thanked him, and accepted it when he saw it, "the minister retired"
Faintly listened to the princess Taiping began to offer treasures with hunting things, and was still showing off her cooking skills, which made the Empress Wu laugh from time to time.
I just hope that this supreme mother and daughter will not have a whim, and then go to cook, Quan Ce is sweating profusely.
On the tenth day of the seventh month of the second year of longevity, Empress Wu issued an order, ordering Su Renshi, the general of the left Ying Yangwei, Zhang Xuanyu, the general of the right Jinwuwei, Li Duozuo, the general of the right Yulin Wei, Ye Huli, the general of the left Yulin Wei, and the Ma Renjie of Sinong Shaoqing, to lead the Northern Expedition of tens of thousands of troops, and ordered Tongfeng Pavilion Luantai Ping Zhangshi and Liang Wangwu Sansi to be the ambassadors of Yuguan Road to pacify them, supervise the grain road, and garrison Shengzhou as the second line of defense to prepare for countermeasures.
In the order, Empress Wu did not forget to give full play to her feminine characteristics, renamed Li Quanzhong as Li Quanxuan, and renamed Sun Wanrong as Sun Wanqi, and first let out a bad breath in her mouth.
Ye Hu led the Lan Ying army of 4,000 people to go to the army, although there was a father-in-law Li Duozuo in the army, but still had no bottom in his heart, before the expedition, he met with Quan Ce to ask about the plan, the battle situation is changing rapidly, Li Quanzhong's movements, Quan Ce can not be insightful, but he is more likely to discuss with Zheng in case of trouble, "Something out of Sun Wanrong, when there is no big problem, the matter is out of Li Quanzhong, be more vigilant, the battlefield against the enemy, you must be brave, praise and take precautions, you must be cautious"
"The general rest assured, the last general and the Lan Ying army will live up to the general's expectations" Ye Huli knelt on his knees and bowed down violently.
Quan Ce knelt on the top, looked at his tiger's back, and nodded silently.
Half a roll of the flag, far out of Luoyang, in the imperial history of Cheng Ge Hui also went to Hebei Province at the same time to rectify the rule of officials.
