Chapter 88

Eating Su Jin's grape skin, Chen Fu remembered many years ago, when the fourteen-five-year-old Su Jin leaned in his arms and kissed him shyly and nervously. At the age of fourteen-five, that was probably the best time for a girl. She gave all the beauty to him without any warning. However, after he got it, he abandoned her for the glory and wealth that was within his reach.

A moment of Yini was replaced by guilt. Chen Fu looked at the little woman opposite and whispered: "My grandma, I..."

Su Jin was disgusted by Chen Fu's actions just now, and stood up with a frown, interrupting him coldly: "Don't bother Archer anymore, I can treat you as an old friend, otherwise we won't even have to do old friend."

Chen Fu pursed his lips.

Su Jin left without any nostalgia.

Chen Fu looked opposite the stone table, Su Jin's footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and he never turned around. It was not until Su Jin's carriage turned around and returned along the original path. Chen Fu smiled. Su Jin loved money, and no matter how tired of him, she would not be unable to get along with money. Chen Fu was deeply relied on Emperor Zhengde. During the conversation between the king and his ministers, Chen Fu could guess the holy intention based on clues, so he was very sure that Su Jin went to Peiping to buy land, which would be beneficial but not harmful.

In August, Emperor Zhengde led his troops to the fortification. The emperor went north and Dali, the southwestern border, was ready to move. Finally, he rose up to disturb the territory at the end of October.

The 800-mile-rushing war report reached Jinling. Due to the critical situation, people were sent to the desert to hand it over to the emperor to decide. After King Duan discussed with the cabinet, King Duan and the cabinet chief Chen Fu came to meet the queen together and asked the queen to make a decision together.

The queen fell ill during the Dragon Boat Festival, perhaps because she was used to the climate in the north. The autumn and winter in the south of the Yangtze River were not as cold as the northern ones, but the humidity was heavy. The queen's illness not only did not improve, but instead showed an increasingly serious trend. She spent most of her time in bed every day. When she learned about Chen Fu and the purpose of King Duan, the queen hurriedly cleaned up and came out to see the guests.

"My son is incompetent, I am bothering my mother." King Duan quickly stepped forward and helped the queen for the maid. King Duan was the biological son of Concubine Xian, but he always respected the queen. King Duan was like a brother to the third prince Zhou Yuanfang, and King Duan was much closer to Zhou Yuanfang than the second prince Ying. Therefore, all the civil and military officials in the court praised King Duan's virtues.

The queen smiled weakly at her eldest son.

Chen Fu looked up and saw that the queen was pale and sweat appeared on her forehead for a short period of time. He was shocked. He had long heard that the queen was sick, but the queen had been in the inner palace for a long time, so Chen Fu rarely had the chance to meet her. Unexpectedly, the queen was so sick.

All kinds of thoughts flashed by, Chen Fu's face was as calm as usual, and he calmly reported the situation of the battle.

Since there is a war, a general needs to be selected to lead troops to meet the enemy. King Duan recommends veteran Chai Xiong, and Chen Fu recommends Huguang General Yao Jichang. Both of them have half of their ministers to support them, so the queen needs to decide.

Feng Che, the third prince's companion, is Chen Fu's son. Although Su Jin and his son have never admitted it, Chen Fu has never expressed their opinions, the ministers have long been tacit. King Duan looked at the weak queen on the chair and was a little worried that the queen would stand on Shen Fu's side because of Archer.

The queen looked at the two, tired but unwilling to be disobedient: "The Meng family has been guarding the southwest for generations. They are familiar with the complexity of the southwest terrain and the strange climate, and are well versed in the strategy of Dali's military use. Meng Kuo, the former town's west marquis, violated the law and was expelled from the title of the former emperor because of his poor family management. However, his father and son were both generals who were rare in a century. Now the emperor is far away in the desert and the border is in a hurry. In order to repel Dali and deter other countries that are waiting for opportunities, this battle must be decided quickly, and only wins but not defeats. Therefore, I suggest that the court grant Meng Kuo and his son the generals and let the Meng family commit crimes and make meritorious contributions. What do you think?"

There is no doubt that the Meng family was the best candidate to fight against Dali. However, the late emperor withdrew the Meng family's title, so the court officials did not consider the Meng family. Now the queen recommended the Meng family, Duan Wang, and Chen Fu immediately expressed his approval.

"The next thing is for you, the prince and all the ministers." The queen closed her eyes and waved her hand to signal the two to retreat.

King Duan, Shen Fu left one after another.

After leaving the queen's palace, King Duan looked back and sighed to Chen Fu: "My mother is wise and decisive, and she is not inferior to the heroes of the world."

Chen Fu nodded silently, but it was a pity that God was jealous of talent.

Zhou Yuanfang and Archer's two young boys came to their minds. Chen Fu looked at the introverted and steady King Duan in front of him and felt a little heavier.

The queen recommended the Meng family, and Meng Kuo and his son lived up to their responsibilities. In just two months, they turned the Dali Kingdom into a grandson, presented countless gold, silver and jewelry to surrender, and bowed down to their posts.

Shortly after the good news came in the southwest, in March, good news came from the north. Emperor Zhengde led his troops to defeat the Xiongnu Tatan tribe that attacked the frontier. In the battle of the 100,000 Tatan army, he lost 50,000 troops. Tatan Khan had no choice but to pay tribute to Emperor Zhengde. Then Emperor Zhengde led a large army to continue patrolling the grassland for a month, shocking the grassland troops, and then led his army to triumph.

Su Jin's heart, which had been worried for more than half a year, finally fell steadily.

In early July, the sun was scorching, and Xiao Zhen arrived in Jinling with him. After some red tape, the sun sets in the evening and Xiao Zhen rode home on a horse.

Su Jin led Aman and stood at the door of his house waiting for him.

Xiao Zhen turned into the alley where the Hou Mansion was, and saw the mother and daughter from afar. Su Jin was wearing a red dress, as beautiful as a fiery red peony. Although the seven-year-old Aman grew one year old, it seemed that there was no big change from last year. He stood beside his mother in small eyes. Seeing him, the girl ran towards him happily, calling "Dadfather".

Xiao Zhen's heart was almost melted, he jumped down from the horse's back and raised his daughter above his head.

The laughter of a man like a yellow oriole suddenly sounded in the alley.

The father and daughter were close together, and Xiao Zhen held his daughter with one hand and strode towards Su Jin in the sunset.

Su Jin looked at him like he looked at the goods.

After a year of not seeing Xiao Zhen's skin was tanned again, but such a tall and burly man looked good only with black spots, and it would be strange to grow into a white white. A man born in the north was still not used to the heat of Jiangnan. His sleeves were rolled up high, revealing his two strong and thick forearms, like stones.

But those pair of stone-like arms were extremely powerful, and they could easily pick her up.

Su Jin bit her lip, and she also wanted her stupid man to hug her.

However, the guard was beside him, and his daughter was also beside him, and it was not dark. Su Jin was embarrassed and stared at Xiao Zhen who was getting closer and closer with a pair of beautiful eyes.

But Xiao Zhen understood her eyes and came to Su Jin. He bent down slightly and hugged Su Jin with his left hand, with the mother and daughter on one side.

Su Jin pretended to be reserved and patted his strong arms and said angrily: "Let me down quickly, what a moral character!"

Xiao Zhen hugged her tightly, his black eyes burning.

Su Jin looked up and met these eyes, and suddenly she lost her strength.

Aman looked at his parents and smiled.

Aman missed his father, and Xiao Zhen missed Aman, but for the first time in his life, Xiao Zhen felt a little curious about his daughter and answered his daughter's various simple questions absent-mindedly, and couldn't help but look at Su Jin secretly. Su Jin pretended not to know, and the father and daughter were talking, and she was eating grapes leisurely, her lips were red and bright.

Xiao Zhen couldn't stand it anymore and coughed. He smiled and said to his daughter, "Dad's body is full of sweat. Go and take a shower first. Aman goes back to the room first. Dad will go to see you after finishing the shower?"

Aman said sensiblely: "Dad, go and wash, I'll wait for you with my mother."

Xiao Zhen:...

Su Jin didn't expect his daughter to say this. The grapes choked and covered her mouth and coughed repeatedly.

Aman looked at his mother in confusion.

Su Jin's face was flushed. Because of her cough, she obviously revealed her equally longing heart in front of Xiao Zhen.

Since she wanted to do it, Xiao Zhen took the initiative and said to his daughter seriously: "Your mother wants to help her father wash his hair."

Aman also wanted to say that she could help her father wash, but Qiuju could no longer listen outside, so she came in and took the lady away, and left with a blushing face.

There was only a couple left in the room. Su Jin became nervous inexplicably. It was really Xiao Zhen's body, like a mountain of flames, making people love and fear.

She lowered her eyes and waited calmly.

Xiao Zhen walked over and squatted in front of her.

Su Jin glanced at him.

Xiao Zhen grabbed her little hand and clenched it tightly, "My grandma Jin, I'm back."

He promised that he would not leave him alone, and that he would do it. She would never want to be a widow in her life, let alone remarry Shen Fu.

The man's hands were like a ball of fire, which was so hot that it was scary. Su Jin's mouth was so thirsty that he hummed incomprehensiblely: "So what if you come back?"

Xiao Zhen looked at her clothes, suddenly grabbed Su Jin and pulled him to him. The next moment he carried the delicate little woman and stood up, saying hoarsely: "Come back and have a baby with you."

Su Jin blushed and his heartbeat was lying on his shoulders, and the corners of his mouth were raised high.

It’s good to have a baby, she likes to have a baby with Xiao Zhen the most.

The small separation is better than the newlyweds. When Xiao Zhen held Su Jin to give birth, in the palace, Emperor Zhengde sat in front of the queen's bed with concern, holding the queen's thin hand. Emperor Zhengde felt more and more uncomfortable and denounced the imperial physician: "I have only been away for a year, and the queen has been cured like this by you. Don't you want to live anymore!"

The imperial physicians had long been kneeling on the ground and apologized in unison.

The queen smiled and advised the emperor: "This is the root cause of the disease caused by the mother's womb. I used to be young and could hold on. Now I am old and it's all the time. The emperor must not take his anger on all the imperial physicians. If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I wouldn't see it..."

"Stop your mouth." Emperor Zhengde whispered.

The queen could only smile and looked at the emperor with greed.

Emperor Zhengde was unbearable.

This was his first wife. As early as when he was a prince, the queen married him. He vassed Liaodong. The queen followed him north with a sick body, and she couldn't afford to get sick when she arrived in the north. After several years of recuperation, when the queen finally adapted to the climate of the north, he rose up and returned, and the queen was struggling again.

After barely calming down, Emperor Zhengde held the queen's hand and asked the imperial physicians how to treat his wife's condition.

In addition to taking medicine and food supplements, the imperial physicians also proposed climate reasons. Jinling's summers are stuffy, dampness and cold winters are not conducive to the queen's condition.

Emperor Zhengde narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was born in Jiangnan, but Emperor Zhengde lived in Liaodong for almost thirty years. He had long fallen in love with the distinct climate of the Northland year by year. The climate is still a small matter. The most important thing is that the Huns on the grassland are stronger day by day, and the two countries will fight one after another. However, Jinling is too far away from the grassland, and every time they move troops, they have to travel thousands of miles, which is a waste of time and wastes the soldiers' physical strength and food.

Emperor Zhengde had long had the idea of ​​moving the capital, and Peking was the best choice. This long journey of the Northern Expedition strengthened Emperor Zhengde's idea of ​​moving the capital. Now the queen is terminally ill again...

Emperor Zhengde was reluctant to leave the queen. This was the relationship between them and their husband and wife, and it had nothing to do with which prince was appointed as the crown prince.

After the imperial physicians retreated, Emperor Zhengde lay gently beside the queen, whispering while stroking the queen's long and shiny hair: "Beiping is similar to Liaodong. I want to move the capital to Peiping. What do you think? When you get there, your illness will be cured."

The queen leaned into his arms and closed her eyes and said, "I will accompany you wherever the emperor wants to go. Don't worry, just do it."
