However, there was no change on Fu Liu's face until the letter came into view. The three words "Chen Yalan" on it made a light flash in Fu Liu's eyes.
"This is, this is a letter from Sister Chen."
In an instant, Fu Liu's body seemed to be filled with strength. He sat up directly from the bed, opened the letter from Chen Yalan and read it carefully.
After reading the letter, Fu Liu realized that Chen Yalan was safe and sound, so she naturally didn't have to worry about anything anymore.
Well, since Chen Yalan is fine, she naturally can't give up on herself anymore.
"Cuihe, bring me something to eat. Boil the medicine so I can drink it after I finish eating." After reading the letter, Fu Liu realized that he had not much strength left, so he called the palace maid beside him.
When the maid heard Fu Liu wanted to eat, she was so excited that tears almost fell. Fu Liu had given up hope these past few days. Not only did she not take good care of her body, but she also abused herself, often only eating one or two bites.
And now that she had received Chen Yalan's letter, she actually started to ask for it. Moreover, she had always been reluctant to take the medicine, and this time she took the initiative to mention it. How could the palace maid not be excited?
At the same time, in the court.
"Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the team that was killed last time was just a small team, and there were no important people." The situation has been clarified, and the minister reported the matter to Situ Yao.
Although no generals were killed this time, this incident made them realize that the situation on the front line was very urgent and might not be that simple.
At this moment, the Prime Minister suddenly stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, it is clear that pacifying Tubo is not that simple. Now that Chen Yingda has replaced General Chen Yi to fight on his father's behalf, this matter is a foregone conclusion. I don't want to say more, but Your Majesty should also see that Chen Yingda doesn't seem to be able to change anything. I think we should still send General Xu Mao to provide support."
This was the nth time that the Prime Minister had recommended General Xu Mao to go to the border to pacify Tubo. Situ Yao had no way of refusing the Prime Minister's repeated recommendations.
And just as the Prime Minister said, even if Chen Yalan went to fight in place of her father, she could not change the situation on the front.
At this moment, the threat of the Prime Minister wanting to seize military power was far less than the threat of the border town being handed over to Tubo.
After thinking about it, Situ Yao felt that perhaps the Prime Minister's proposal was not a bad thing.
So, he said, "Since the Prime Minister has repeatedly recommended Xu Mao, my dear minister, then if I don't give him a chance, wouldn't it make me seem too selfish?"
When the Prime Minister heard Situ Yao's thoughts, his face was filled with joy. He had originally thought that Situ Yao would reject him this time as he had done before.
Xu Mao had previously been imprisoned by Situ Yao for a period of time for secretly detaining envoys from the Western Regions. However, Xu Mao was a disciple of the Prime Minister, so after a period of time, Situ Yao released him.
At this moment, Xu Mao heard Situ Yao say this and knew that he was determined to send him to the battle. He immediately stood up, bowed to Situ Yao and said, "I am terrified. Even if the emperor does not allow me to go, I understand that the emperor is doing this for my own good."
Seeing that Xu Mao was also a smart person and immediately jumped out to save his face, Situ Yao felt a little better.
After he had finished relaxing, Situ Yao spoke, "People like you, my dear, naturally want to shine on the battlefield. Xu Mao, listen to my orders. I command you to rush to the border immediately and fight against the foreign enemies together with Chen Yalan."
Xu Mao was extremely happy. After such a long time in the imperial court, he finally had the opportunity to fight on the battlefield.
"I will obey your orders, Your Majesty. Please rest assured that I will live up to your expectations."
Time passed quickly like running water, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the full moon.
Because he is the emperor's first son, and born to the queen, Longyao's full moon banquet is naturally a very important event.
Among the princes and ministers, anyone with a bit of respect was invited.
At the banquet, everyone had arrived, and the ministers gathered in twos and threes to discuss what had happened during this period.
And those ladies also gathered together with their friends, chatting and laughing.
The banquet was quiet and peaceful.
"The Emperor has arrived, and the Empress has arrived."
As the eunuch's shrill voice rang out, the ministers immediately fell to the ground and knelt down to kowtow to the emperor and empress.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor. Long live the empress, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
Situ Yao and Su Mengyan walked side by side to the highest seat and sat down, then asked everyone to stand up.
Although today is their son's full moon party, the way they are both dressed can definitely be described as formal.
The wet nurse followed Su Mengyan, holding the little Longyao in her arms. At this moment, Su Mengyan had already sat down, so she reached out and held Longyao over.
"My dear ministers, today is the full moon day of my son Longyao. I hope you can eat well and have fun." Situ Yao said to the ministers with a smile on his face.
After the usual formalities, the ministers finally took their seats. The ladies followed their husbands and fathers and took their seats in the women's section.
Because this was the emperor's first son, these ministers were all very smart and praised him with nice words one after another.
"My fellow ministers, Longyao is my eldest son and the daughter of the empress. He is qualified to be the heir or the eldest son. So, since today is his full moon banquet, I will make him the crown prince." Situ Yao seemed to be really happy and immediately announced the news that Longyao would be made the crown prince.
However, compared with Situ Yao's excitement, the ministers were not so excited. After hearing the news, everyone was surprised.
"It seems a little inappropriate for the Emperor to make his new son the Crown Prince."
"Although this child is the Queen's, he is still young after all. His moral character is unknown. How can he be made the Crown Prince?"
"Since he is the eldest son, it is natural that he will take the throne of the Crown Prince. It is just a matter of time."
For a moment, everyone was talking about it, some agreed and some were unhappy, and these people's reactions were all within Su Mengyan's expectations.
When Situ Yao told her that a crown prince would be appointed today, she had already made preparations. Among these ministers, there were those who were loyal to the emperor, but naturally there were also those with ulterior motives. Now that a mere child was to be appointed crown prince, it was natural that there would be people who would criticize him.
Facing these, Su Mengyan remained calm and stood up directly: "What do you ministers have to say about this matter?"
