Chapter 337 Genetic Genes
Pang Cheng followed Yu Li and the others back to the capital, and was first taken to the Regent Palace to thank the prince and princess for their kindness. Luo Li sent Mu Xiu to take him to the Big Foot Women's Army Camp to reunite with his family.
The mother and her two children cried bitterly. Pang's mother learned that her son who had fled abroad was found by several children around the princess, and that the case was closed and his household registration was restored. She was so grateful that she bowed repeatedly in the direction of the Regent Palace to express her gratitude.
Pang Cheng visited the Big Foot Women's Army Camp, and saw the female soldiers training hard on the parade ground. He asked his sister with envy, "Sister, if I want to join the army, can I join your team?"
Pang Ying couldn't help laughing, "Brother, we are the Big Foot Women's Army. Although you have big feet, you are not a woman, so we won't accept you."
Seeing Pang Cheng's disappointed expression, Mulan'er said, "Brother Pang, if you want to join the army, you can go to the Moyun Cavalry Camp. The prince will definitely accept you."
Pang Ying's eyes lit up, and he encouraged his brother, "Yes! Brother, you are extremely strong and have great martial arts skills. If you are formally trained, you will definitely be a fierce general. The prince loves talents and will definitely accept you."
"Okay! I will go to the Moyun Cavalry Camp tomorrow to try. With the face of your captain's princess, the prince will probably accept me as a soldier." Pang Cheng immediately made up his mind. ...
The stumbling blocks on the road to the implementation of the new policy reforms were removed one by one. Although there are still undercurrents, they can't hinder the general trend.
The prairie fire of the implementation of the new policy reforms swept all the way south from Western Shu and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
The border was stable, and the Liao Kingdom, which had nearly 100,000 troops destroyed, no longer had the ambition to expand its territory to the south. It would be a blessing if it could avoid being invaded and destroyed by the Song Dynasty.
Yang Yanzhao had been named a third-rank champion general for his outstanding military exploits. There was no war at the border, and the emperor issued an imperial decree to transfer Yang Yanzhao back to Beijing to marry the princess.
When the people in the capital learned about this marriage, they talked about it. Some envied General Yang for being a royal relative, and the one he married was the beautiful and gentle Princess Yongqing.
There were also those who sighed and lamented that General Yang was the bravest of the three armies and had made great military achievements, but because of marrying the princess, he became a famous and powerful but powerless son-in-law. It was such a pity.
After the grand wedding of Princess Yongqing and General Yang, the people who were talking about the wedding scene learned that although Yang Yanzhao became a son-in-law, the emperor issued an edict to allow him to still be a general with military power and lead troops to fight. This unprecedented news set off a wave of heated discussions in the capital.
This unprecedented decision was known to all the civil and military officials in the court as the intention of the Regent. Some were worried about whether it would lead to the monopoly of power by the relatives of the emperor, while others secretly praised the Regent for his wisdom, confidence, broad-mindedness, and vision.
After hearing these discussions, Luo Li and Zhao Defang joked, "Zhao Defang, if there is a power monopoly by foreign relatives in any dynasty in the future, the literati will put the stinking hat of the initiator on your head, and it will be recorded in the history books for eternity."
Zhao Defang, who was playing a puppet game of two armies fighting with his son, said indifferently, "I have never cared about the false reputation in the future. Let them say whatever they want."
"Daddy, daddy..." Lin'er grabbed a wooden horse, stuffed it under his butt and rode it. The small wooden horse could not bear the weight of his little butt, and he was anxious and called for daddy to help.
Zhao Defang immediately smiled, "Li'er, our son loves riding horses. When your horse Yezhao Yushizi gives birth to a foal, we will keep it for him to ride."
Thinking of the pregnant horse, Luo Li also looked forward to the future foal. "Will the foal born after Wuyun Gaixue and Yezhao Yushizi get married and mate, take after the father or the mother?" The
maid Yingchun was teased by the princess and smiled secretly. When the prince wanted to use his horse Wuyun Gaixue to mate with the princess's horse Yezhao Yushizi, the princess must hold a wedding ceremony for the two horses before letting the shadow guard take them away.
Zhao Defang held his son in his arms and said, "No matter if he takes after his mother or his father, he will be an extraordinary foal. Just look at the son we gave birth to."
Luo Li laughed so hard that her whole body was shaking with laughter. She explained with scientific knowledge, "Good genes! The genes of the parents determine whether the next generation will be excellent or not."
Yingchun thought hard about the parents and children she knew, and said in agreement, "It's true! The people People say that like father and mother,
like son, like daughter, like daughter, and the son of a mouse will dig holes. If the parents are handsome, the son will be handsome too, and if the parents are ugly, the son will be ugly too. Our young master gave birth to a beautiful man, so Ruhua’s child will not be ugly either.”
Banxia asked leisurely, “Yingchun, what do you think the child born by Shenqiu and Pangying will look like?”
Yingchun laughed, she really couldn’t imagine this.
Luo Li smiled and explained their doubts, "Most of the time, daughters take after their fathers and sons take after their mothers. It would be best if the child of Pang Ying and Shen Qiu combined the good genes of both parents, with the height like Pang Ying and the appearance like Shen Qiu."
The two maids were amused and laughed "hehe". The young prince Zhao Wubing didn't understand why. He looked at the two maids with his big black eyes and laughed "hehe".
Princess Yongqing got married. The Empress Dowager Song became more and more lonely in the palace. Although her daughter-in-law, Empress Dowager Zhaoning, often went to chat with her, the Empress Dowager was still not happy and was sick and listless every day.
Someone leaked a message to Luo Li, and Luo Li remembered that she had forgotten to fulfill her promise to take his mother out of the palace after Yongqing's wedding.
She quickly took her son in her arms and got on the carriage to the palace. She said hello to the emperor and the regent Zhao Defang, and went to Cining Palace to personally pick up her mother from the palace to stay at home for a few days.
The moment she sat in the carriage with her grandson in her arms , the Empress Dowager
Song was in a good mood, and her eyebrows, eyes and lips were all smiling from the bottom of her heart. "Li'er, it is said that if a person is in a good mood, his body will be healthy. Now that the mother is holding her grandson and sitting in the carriage out of the palace, her body is so relaxed."
Luo Li could imagine the miserable days that the Empress Dowager had spent in the palace over the years. When she first met the Empress Dowager Song, she could not hide her melancholy between her eyebrows. She was definitely a patient with depression.
Since the first time she was taken out of the palace by the Empress Dowager, and stayed in the hot spring villa for a few days, she felt happy and no longer looked indifferent and depressed. She became lively and agile.
"Mother, how about you not returning to the palace in the future and living in the Prince Regent's Mansion, where you can see your son and daughter-in-law every day and enjoy the happiness of playing with your grandchildren? Is that okay?" Empress Dowager Song
was very happy in her heart, but what about the rules of the royal family?
Never mind, the rules of the royal family, haven't Defang and Li'er broken them enough?
"Li'er, then go talk to the emperor and see if he agrees."
Luo Li patted her chest and said, "Mother, I will take care of this matter. I will make sure you get what you want."
