Just when everyone thought that General Fuguo would teach the troublemakers a lesson, he wiped his face without changing his expression, and continued to walk forward calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Everyone praised General Fuguo for his good temper and magnanimity, which was very different from the rumors.
Yue Lingyin secretly peeked out and saw that General Fuguo had already walked away. She muttered to herself, "It doesn't seem so scary after all."
Feng Mian's expression was complicated. How had the Empress Dowager managed to smash the cup? Wasn't this clearly an offense? Although General Fuguo didn't blame her for some reason, he decided to avoid bringing the Empress Dowager out more often in the future to avoid further trouble.
She is a little too bold.
When the excitement gradually died down, the two climbed over the wall and returned to the palace.
At noon, Dong Lizheng did not go to Qinghan Palace, but stayed with General Fuguo to reminisce about the past.
"He An, you should stay in Beijing for a few more months this time. You are already grown up, and it's time to think about your lifelong affairs."
He'an is the courtesy name of General Wei Jinzhi, the pacifying general.
Wei Jin took a sip of the tea in the cup, then raised his eyebrows with a hint of a smile, and said in a playful tone:
"Isn't it the same with you? Didn't those old-fashioned people at court force you to fill your harem?"
"Of course not, but I withstood the pressure." Dong Lizheng tapped the table with his fingertips. "I am different from you. You have been stationed at the border for many years. It would be best if you could leave a child when you return to the capital this time. That way, your father, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, would feel more at ease."
The Wei family has been a single-line family for four generations, and the family is small. Seven years ago, a neighboring country invaded, and Marquis Zhongyong was seriously injured on the battlefield. Although he survived, he lost his left arm permanently.
Wei Jinzhi, who was only sixteen years old, withstood the pressure and followed in his father's footsteps and went to the front line. With his outstanding military talent and fearless courage, he repeatedly commanded the army to defeat the enemy. He not only successfully defended the beautiful land of Dongli, but also continuously expanded the territory and made great contributions to the country.
Wei Jinzhi was not very interested in getting married and having children. When Dong Lizheng mentioned this, he just responded indifferently.
"My country is my priority. I don't have any plans in this regard right now."
"That's because you haven't met the girl you like yet. When you meet her, you won't think so." Dong Lizheng had a smile on his face. The two were good friends and could talk about anything. He talked about his experiences without any hesitation.
"Do you believe in love at first sight? There are some people you'll want to possess just once."
Wei Jinzhi suddenly thought of the woman he saw in the morning, but she was already accompanied by another man, and she was probably promised to someone else.
He scorned: "I won't be a beast like you."
Dong Lizheng smiled faintly: "I'm waiting for the day when you'll slap me in the face."
Wei Jinzhi was very confident: "I have seen everything in military campaigns and battles, so I do have some self-control. If a person cannot control his own oblivion, what difference is there between him and an animal?"
Dong Lizheng was deeply moved. Intellectually, he knew that he couldn't make the same mistake again, but emotionally, he couldn't give up and was willing to sink into depravity.
So he was unable to refute and after holding it in for a long time he could only utter one sentence.
"you're right."
As he was talking, Dong Lizheng got to the point.
"You have made great contributions in defeating Xicang, and you deserve a reward. Is there anything you would like?"
Wei Jinzhi had everything he needed, and he had the family business to inherit. The late emperor even gave him a fief in the northwest, so he didn't want anything.
Dong Lizheng was worried because none of them had any desires. If the reward was too low, he was afraid that it would discourage the soldiers, but if it was too high, he was afraid that it would disrupt the balance of the court.
The reward must be given, "In this way, I will give you a red letter of credit."
The "Red-lettered Iron Certificate" is also known as the "Golden Medal of Immunity from Death". It can exempt the holder from the death penalty once and can be passed down to future generations even if it is not used.
It can be seen that Dong Lizheng trusts Wei Jinzhi very much, or rather, trusts the Wei family very much.
Wei Jinzhi's lips curled slightly as he slowly stood up, gracefully and calmly performing a standard salute to the emperor. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will defend my country with all my heart and soul, devoting myself to it until my death. I will never let Your Majesty down."
Dong Lizheng said, "There's no need for us to discuss this. Take a good rest these past two days. Tomorrow night I'll host a palace banquet for you to congratulate you on your triumphant return."
Wei Jinzhi had a lot of things to deal with when he returned to the court, so he left the palace not long after sitting there.
Dong Lizheng went to the imperial study to handle state affairs. As he was looking around, he suddenly asked Eunuch Cao who was serving beside him, "What is Yue Lingyin doing?"
Yue Lingyin? Eunuch Cao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother was called Yue Lingyin.
Eunuch Cao asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you going to Qinghan Palace?"
Dong Lizheng stood up and sat down again, pressing his brows with a headache. He was an emperor and could not play as he pleased. He had a pile of memorials to read yet, so he would go there in the evening.
………………
Yue Lingyin was lying on the chaise longue, and Feng Mian was half-kneeling on the ground massaging her legs.
The force was neither too strong nor too light, and she was so comfortable that she closed her eyes and felt drowsy.
Feng Mian took a deep breath, and the elegant and charming fragrance filled his nostrils. His big hands gently rubbed her tender ankles, and then her calves. Seeing that Yue Lingyin closed her eyes and did not refuse, the movements of his hands became more and more outrageous and excessive.
"How does the Queen feel?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Lingyin opened her beautiful eyes and parted her red lips: "Comfortable, comfortable."
After receiving a positive answer, Feng Mian seemed to be possessed, moving closer and closer...
After a long time, Yue Lingyin's face showed a satisfied and lazy look. Feng Mian knew when to stop and helped her put on her clothes and covered her with a thin blanket.
Yue Lingyin closed her eyes tiredly, her long eyelashes cast shadows on her face, and her cheeks still had a blush that had not faded, making her look seductive and alluring.
Feng Mian's heart was itching to make a move, and he suddenly understood the emperor and why he would rather risk the whole world's disapproval to get her.
In the evening, Dong Lizheng arrived at Qinghan Palace and dismissed everyone.
