On the second day after Xiao Jingchen returned to the court, he was granted the title of Marquis of Pingding, and the emperor's celebration banquet was held three days later.
Bai Wan'er was pregnant, and after experiencing that storm in the palace for the first time, Xiao Jingchen didn't want her to enter the palace again, so she happened to be pregnant, so she used an excuse to avoid it.
The celebration banquet was hosted in the Emperor's Qianqing Palace, besides Xiao Jingchen, the Empress, the Empress Dowager and King Ning were also there.
Probably the emperor did not expect that King Ning could really predict the flood and prevent it in time, so he appreciated him a little more. In the past, King Ning and King Wei looked similar, each with its own differences Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Although King Wei does not have the courage of King Ning and is a bit rigid, he has many rules on the contrary. It's just too lustful.
But since returning from this disaster relief, it seems that he has finally opened up, sent away a bunch of women in the temple, and did not linger on those days and nights anymore. Not only that, but the whole person looks a lot more stable.
The emperor was very pleased, and lamented that this person should go through hardships and see a life and death with his own eyes, so that he can grow up thoroughly.
To a certain extent, the emperor was quite grateful for this disaster. He didn't want the prince he established to be pushed up as a last resort, but he himself had that qualification.
For King Ning's contribution this time, the emperor also has rewards, but those are not enough compared to the prestige that King Ning has gained in the hearts of the people.
From the capital to the north, King Ning saved more than 200,000 people along the way, not including Lincheng. There are countless finances such as fertile land and shops that have been preserved.
Even the method of diverting water through the canal was praised by local officials. A disaster made King Ning an instant hero in the hearts of the people.
Everyone only knows that it is King Ning's credit, and only he knows who the biggest contributor is. If it was changed before, King Ning would not feel that there was anything wrong with it. He would do anything to get the position above his head. , but now, he is not happy at all.
Whether he wants a country or a beauty, he doesn't even have the right to choose. From the beginning to the end, he was never given the right to choose a beauty.
From the very beginning, it was impossible for him and Bai Wan'er to get acquainted with him as the general's wife, so it was doomed that no matter how much he thought about it, it would be in vain.
King Ning toasted several glasses of wine to Xiao Jingchen. He was a little drunk, and kept his emotions under control until the queen mother brought up Qin Muwei's matter.
"That bastard, it is not a pity to die, but after all, he is also a member of my royal family, and the death penalty cannot be escaped, so the public display is avoided. I am afraid that when the time comes, people will be humiliated, and our royal family will also lose face. Already." The Empress Dowager opened her mouth when the few people sitting there were almost drunk.
After she found out about Qin Muwei's matter, she was so angry on the spot that she almost turned her back, scolded countless ugly words, and hated herself for feeling sorry for this white-eyed wolf in the first place.
But the scolding is all scolding, after all, she is still soft in her heart. If she is dead, she sent herself to this point just because of a man, so what is it if she is not stupid? If it wasn't because she wanted to take revenge on Bai Wan'er, would she have taken the risk and completely lost her mind?
Originally, she was fine, and she was going to march and fight, but she was driven to Lincheng by Bai Wan'er, and got under her nose to make her make mistakes.
Of course she was wrong, so she could be executed, and there was no need for her to go through a street parade.
Over the past few days, the Empress Dowager sent people to look for the emperor several times for Qin Muwei's affairs, but the emperor always found various reasons to not see her. She had no choice but to speak in front of Xiao Jingchen on the wine table.
"What do you think, the general?" After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she did not ask the emperor, but directly asked Xiao Jingchen.
The room was instantly quiet, and no one made a sound.
Xiao Jingchen was still holding the wine glass in his hand, his expression was flat and no emotion could be seen, but when he raised his head, the cold light in his black eyes swept across the face of the Empress Dowager, even if the Empress Dowager lived to such a long age, she still Some fear.
How should I put it, he is also a great general with a heavy army in his hands, and he has just been conferred the title of Lord Marquis. The innate domineering aura in his body makes him intimidating.
Before Xiao Jingchen could speak, King Ning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, "Grandmother is probably drunk, Qin Muwei is a crime of treason, and she was spared from sitting in Prince An's residence. My royal family opened the back door and gave her a special gift." The emperor's grandmother said that she was afraid that she would lose face to my royal family, and this matter is easy to handle. Before the crime is judged, she will be relegated to the status of a princess and demoted to a commoner, so that it will not be a shame to my royal family."
As soon as King Ning finished the call, his face flushed a lot, and he staggered from side to side for a while, and finally?Being hit on the forehead by the memorial, his forehead was scratched immediately, and blood dripped down his face, but he still gritted his teeth and replied, "My son understands."
"Do you really understand?" Seeing his miserable state, the emperor probably felt distressed.
"My son will follow the teachings of my father." King Ning knocked his head on the floor, and showed all the attitudes that should be shown, which can be regarded as a choice in his heart.
If you can't get it, it's fine to guard her silently with the highest right for the rest of your life.
The blood on King Ning's forehead printed blood on the floor, and the emperor waved his hand, "Go back."
Hmph, I'm afraid that disaster relief is fake, but protecting beauties is real.
"Whoever spreads rumors indiscriminately will be buried directly." After King Ning left, the emperor said to the eunuch behind him.
Since he knows his identity, it's easy to say.
King Ning returned to Zhaoyang Hall. Princess Ning stood up in shock when she saw the injury on his forehead, and her heart skipped a beat. The first thing she was worried about was that he was drunk and had a conflict with today's great hero.
"It's okay, I knocked on the corner of the table after drinking too much."
Princess Ning felt at ease after hearing this, and turned her head to announce the imperial physician to come in. After the imperial physician treated King Ning's wound, she asked about today's celebration banquet. She just had her menstrual event today, and it was not convenient to attend, so she didn't go with her .
"This time, General Xiao seems to be supporting the prince with all his strength, or the prince was thoughtful and asked the concubine to go to the general's mansion in advance. When the fighter comes back, his heart is cold because of the ruthlessness of swords and guns. The person who is most afraid of seeing each other is the family. Chaos, this kind of favor, the general must remember us anyway.¡± (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
