Chapter 506: 508: Good News

After returning to the Hall of Concentric Minds, Concubine Xian asked the servants to take Ji Chong around, while she dragged Chu Pan'er into the bedroom.

"Pan'er, how did Ji Chong treat you?" asked the concubine Xian.

This son-in-law was not liked by her daughter, and the concubine was afraid that she would feel resentful and quarrel with Ji Chong after she got married, and even worried that Chu Pan'er would not even let Ji Chong enter the room.

She is the honor of the princess, if she really wants to make trouble, no one in the Ji family will tolerate her.

Chu Pan'er heard the words, pursed her lips shyly, and said in a low voice, "It's pretty good."

She thought she would hate Ji Chong, and she didn't want him to touch her body, but how could she stand up to Ji Chong's teasing? A new door.

Even though she is still dissatisfied with this marriage, she is still somewhat satisfied with Ji Chong.

Seeing her daughter's shy appearance, Concubine Xian was instantly relieved that there was still something she didn't understand.

"Since you and Ji Chong are married, you should live a good life. The princess mansion has been settled properly and you can move in at any time. When the time comes, you little husband and wife will live together, and there is nothing wrong with it. I will find him a place in a while." With the support of your fifth brother and your uncle, you can always climb up the position step by step."

"Understood, mother concubine."

As Chu Pan'er said, a deep gloom flashed in her dark eyes.

She could have married Shen Chi, the charming son of heaven, but now she can only marry Ji Chong, a dude. How many people are waiting to see her jokes. No matter how gentle Ji Chong is to her, he can't change the fact that he is useless.

But this kind of day will not be too long.

When Fifth Brother sits on the crown prince, and later on the throne, she will be the most honorable eldest princess of Wei...

……

General Shen Da was defeated and injured, and Emperor Chengde was worried all the time.

Although the fall of Changcheng would not put Great Wei in danger, the land belonging to Great Wei actually fell into the hands of other countries. This situation is undoubtedly digging into the flesh of Emperor De.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Cheng De put down his pen and pinched the center of his brows, his handsome face was full of exhaustion.

Hu Qian walked to him with a tray, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, you haven't slept well for two consecutive days. Have a cup of ginseng tea and rest."

Emperor Chengde waved his hand at him, signaling him to put it down.

"Is there any battle report sent back?"

Hu Qian put down the ginseng tea, shook his head and said, "If you go back to the emperor, not yet."

Emperor Cheng De frowned, with a serious expression on his face.

Hu Qian said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for talking too much. There is no news, but it is good news."

At least General Shen still defended Changcheng until the reinforcements from the imperial court arrived.

What responded to him was silence in the room.

Hu Qian pursed his lips, stopped talking, and stood aside to grind for Emperor Chengde.

Suddenly, Xiao Liangzi's excited voice came from outside the hall: "Your majesty... Your majesty... Good news for Changcheng!"

When Emperor Chengde heard this, he suddenly raised his head, stood up from his chair suddenly, and walked out with big strides.

Hu Qian was stunned for a moment, and followed happily.

As soon as Xiao Liangzi entered the imperial study, he saw Emperor Cheng De striding towards him, with a hint of nervousness and suppressed joy on his majestic and domineering face: "Is it really good news?" He asked in disbelief.

"Going back to the emperor, it is indeed a good news." Xiao Liangzi plopped down on his knees, raised his hands high, and presented a letter in his hand to Emperor Chengde.

Emperor Chengde eagerly took the letter and opened it.

The letter is not thick, but the two thin sheets of paper describe in detail their victory that thwarted the spirit of the Jin army.

"Good, good, good!"

Emperor Cheng De excitedly said three good words in succession.

Seeing that Emperor Chengde was in a good mood, Hu Qian asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, is it a letter from General Shen?"

"Exactly." Emperor Chengde smiled, took the letter and turned back to the desk: "Hu Qian, grind, I want to reward you well."

"Yes." Hu Qian hurried over, and said while grinding: "General Shen is really a genius general, and he can bravely defeat the enemy under serious injuries, which is really admirable."

"The letter was written by Shen Xiong, but it was not his military exploits." Emperor Chengde said with a smile: "Three days ago, the Jin army learned that Shen Xiong was seriously injured. The soldiers took the opportunity to attack. Seeing that the city gate was about to be broken, a team of thousands of people suddenly rushed out from behind. With one enemy ten, Lieutenant General Changcheng thought that the reinforcements from the imperial court had arrived, and his momentum was greatly boosted, so he opened the door to meet the enemy. Under the front and back attack, our 5000 people defeated the Jin army's soldiers, and that night, the sudden drop team was led by Fu Ling. In the lead, the granary of the Jin army was burned."

It is taboo to have no food in war.

The soldiers and horses of the Jin army dared not act rashly when the food was burned.

And this move also brought a buffer time for the reinforcements sent by the imperial court.

Hu Qian felt flustered and nervous when he heard it, and finally let out a hard breath: "The emperor is mighty, the soldiers killed the enemy bravely, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

With that said, Hu Qian knelt down and kowtowed loudly.

"Pingshen." Emperor Chengde said in a happy mood: "Fu Ling is a general, I want to reward him well."

Morning the next day.

The haze of the past few days finally dissipated because of the good news from Changcheng, and everyone showed joyful smiles.

Fu Ling was named a school lieutenant, and the imperial decree was rushed to Changcheng from eight hundred miles.

Lucky gambling house.

Lu Xiang sat under the tree in the backyard, holding the information that Huo Yi gave her.

Chu Jinyan left Sheng Xian behind and took Zong Li away.

Huo Yi is in charge of Zhaocai Casino now that it is related to intelligence information.

This guy was suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he hadn't slept well for several nights. He was sitting opposite Lu Xiang with dark circles under his eyes, and his pale face didn't know that he thought he had been cruelly abused.

"Is there no news from His Highness?" Lu Xiang looked up and asked Huo Yi after reading.

Huo Yi was drowsy, when he suddenly heard Lu Xiang's voice, he came to his senses, stunned for a moment, and said, "I haven't received it yet."

A look of sadness flashed across Lu Xiang's eyebrows, and then a wry smile appeared.

Chu Jinyan had only left for a few days, and he might have only arrived in Yangning City with his haste. The matter was so important that he might not have the extra time to write her a letter.

"The good news came from Changcheng. Presumably at this time, the emperor's Long Yan is very happy, and the reward has been sent out. The thousand troops brought by Fu Ling are the secret guards trained by His Highness. Each one will be rewarded, and when the time comes, His Highness' dark forces will eventually appear on the bright side little by little."

There is nothing easier than holding military power in your hands to stabilize your position.

And Chu Jinyan's hole cards are probably more than these.
