In the golden autumn of October, the weather was clear and crisp, and Xiao Chuyun, Marquis of Zhenbei, returned from Mubei City.
Jiang Wan'er deliberately held a grand court meeting in the middle of the month.
Zhao Hao also participated.
At the grand court meeting, Xiao Chuyun's achievements were fully praised.
However, Xiao Chuyun looked at Zhao Hao, and then said to Jiang Wan'er: "Your Majesty, I have only made a small contribution. If you want to be the biggest contributor to defeating the barbarians..."
"It must be Lord Zhao Hao!"
Some civil and military officials in the court appreciated his words, while others were puzzled.
His Majesty clearly wanted to give him this great achievement, but he actually pushed it away.
This is the case. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.
After listening to it, Jiang Wan'er smiled and nodded: "The fact that the Marquis of Zhenbei can say this is enough to prove that he has an upright heart and a noble character."
"Don't worry, Marquis Zhenbei. I know Zhao Hao's achievements."
"Now, just tell me about yourself. If there is anything you want, I will give it to you!"
Xiao Chuyun immediately took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I... do have an unreasonable request!"
Hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help but look at him curiously.
Everyone knows that Xiao Chuyun grew up in the army and has a straightforward personality.
In the past, no matter how great his contributions were, he never took credit for himself, nor did he take the initiative to ask for any rewards.
Today's incident is really unprecedented.
Jiang Wan'er smiled and said, "Zhenbei Hou, go ahead!"
Xiao Chuyun bowed and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, I want to..."
In a word, he only said the word "want" and couldn't say anything more.
I thought about it over and over again, my face turned purple, but I still couldn't think of a zodiac sign.
Everyone was waiting for him to continue speaking, but Zhao Hao's eyelids suddenly twitched twice, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
This guy, doesn't he want to...
Sure enough, Xiao Chuyun, who had been holding back to his limit, finally said the rest of the words after gritting his teeth several times.
"Your Majesty, this is the golden autumn season. I would like to invite Your Majesty to Shanglin Garden for hunting."
"I wonder if Your Majesty would approve it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
Jiang Wan'er's eyes moved when she heard this, and she immediately said, "You made it sound so difficult, I thought it was a big deal."
"Shanglinyuan..."
Jiang Wan'er paused for a moment and said, "My dear nobles, since the Marquis of Zhenbei has proposed this, I think it would be better to do this."
"Three days later, I will go hunting in Shanglin Garden. Any noble family that wants to join me may go with me!"
Hearing this, everyone knelt down and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the court session, Xiao Chuyun grabbed Zhao Hao in high spirits, and the two went to the first floor together.
In the private room upstairs, the two soon started chatting while drinking.
Xiao Chuyun drank a glass of wine suddenly and said, "Brother, please don't laugh at me. You don't even know how I said that in the court just now."
"My teeth are almost broken."
"Fortunately, fortunately, His Majesty agreed, hahahaha!"
Xiao Chuyun's excitement was beyond words.
Zhao Hao also smiled and said, "Brother, I am sure that what you were thinking about in the court was definitely not inviting His Majesty to Shanglin Garden."
Xiao Chuyun's face turned red, and he said, "Brother, it turns out that I can't hide anything from you."
"But this is already good. Three days later, when we get to Shanglin Garden, I'll still have a chance!"
Zhao Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Brother, His Majesty said that in three days, any minister who wants to go can go."
"You don't want to... confess your feelings to His Majesty in front of so many ministers, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuyun showed an expression that said, "You know what?"
Zhao Hao immediately asked in confusion: "Why, what I said is wrong?"
Xiao Chuyun tapped his fingers twice and said, "After three days, there won't be that many people here, so don't worry."
Zhao Hao was even more puzzled: "Brother, His Majesty said this in front of all the civil and military officials in the court."
"That's hundreds of people. His Majesty has already said so, who can not go?"
Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "Brother, this is what you don't understand."
"Don't think that your majesty said that, but there won't be many people who actually go there at that time."
"Only the Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister, Prince Kang, Shang Lao, and yes, your father."
"If there are any of these people who can't get away, there won't be many left."
"This is an unwritten rule in the officialdom. Do you really think that just because His Majesty said so, everyone is qualified to go?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Hao's eyes widened: "Can this still be done?"
He is indeed ignorant of this.
I didn't know there were so many twists and turns in it.
"Okay, I wish you immediate success, big brother!"
This time, he is not going anyway.
It’s better to stay at home and be with my wife and children.
Xiao Chuyun smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words. By the way, brother, I heard that you have a son and a daughter. Please let me go and see them later!"
"As an uncle, I brought gifts for the children."
Zhao Hao nodded: "It's a deal, our children won't accept any bad gifts!"
The two chatted while drinking.
After drinking, Zhao Hao took Xiao Chuyun back to the princess's mansion.
It was the first time that Xiao Chuyun saw the two children. As soon as they met, he said, "Brother, this daughter looks a lot like you, but this boy doesn't look like you at all!"
When Zhao Hao heard this, his face suddenly froze. Seeing Zhao Hao's expression change, Xiao Chuyun realized that he had said something wrong.
He quickly added: "Well, these are two longevity locks, one for each of the two children."
As he said this, he placed the longevity lock next to the two children.
After playing with the two children for a while, he left in a hurry.
As soon as Xiao Chuyun left, Yongning came over, touched Zhao Hao, and said, "You are not really angry, are you?"
Zhao Hao was startled and shook his head: "How could that be? I'm not such a petty person!"
"Besides, it was an unintentional mistake by Brother Xiao. I don't know what happened."
Yongning said, "Who knows? Look at General Chuyun. He left without saying a word."
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "He is jealous. Look at the way he looked at my girl just now. His eyes were squinting and full of jealousy."
Yongning couldn't help laughing: "Just now I heard from you that the emperor's sister is going to Shanglin Garden?"
"Are you going too?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "I don't know how to hunt. If I don't go, I might as well stay at home and accompany you and the children."
Yongning smiled and took his arm: "Aren't you curious about how the emperor will reply to General Chuyun?"
"Actually, I think General Chu Yun is pretty good."
"I have been waiting for my sister for so many years."
"My sister is old enough to get married."
"If you delay any longer, your best years will be wasted."
