"Although it's not in the style of calligraphy, I can write characters. Since I had money to buy paper and pen, my wife has been practicing small regular script for hairpins and flowers in order to save ink and paper."

"Only when writing underground with branches, can you write more generously."

Lin Yanniang explained seriously, obviously she was still calculating about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her embarrassed expression was so innocent that she looked at it.

A man who is familiar with her nature curled his lips slightly and thought to himself that his wife was going to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?

The emperor didn't think much about it, just pretending that she was eager to show off, so he waved his hand with a smile.

"Okay, I know you can. You don't have to worry about what others think of you. You are the second-rank imperial edict I have granted. There are not many imperial edicts as young as you in the capital. You can raise your head and be confident."

"Yes, my wife obeyed the order." Seeing that the emperor had said this, Lin Yanniang accepted the favor as soon as she saw that she was happy and thanked her.

The emperor glanced at Guo Ruiyu again and saw her standing there with an angry look on her face but pitiful look on her face.

Thinking of the family behind her, he sighed and comforted: "Don't be depressed, girl Ruiyu."

"You are not familiar with each other at first, and it is reasonable that you can't guess that she makes a misjudgment. You are not losing here, but your subsequent performance. Do you understand?"

After hearing the emperor's comments, Guo Ruiyu saluted with a panic look on his face and hurriedly said, "It's Ruiyu who is anxious and has bad behavior. Please forgive me."

As soon as he said to forgive his guilt, the emperor's eyes sank. Thinking of what Lin had said before, he felt a little displeased.

He even put a hat on him for no reason to be asked to be guilty just to show his fear?

I think she doesn't have the courage, maybe she is born with a scheming.

"Forget it, just playing the piano." After the emperor said that, he turned around and sat down next to the queen.

The queen looked at him inquiringly. He smiled slightly, waited to sit down and then looked at Prime Minister Shen and his daughter Shen Hanxiang who had not left on the other side.

Thinking of Shen Hanxiang being good at the doodle, he suddenly turned his eyes and looked at the little woman who had already held the child in his hand. He suddenly asked with a smile: "Lin, do you know how to dance?"

"Reported to the emperor, my wife has been practicing martial arts, practicing boxing, shooting archery since she was a child. She is accustomed to running in the mountains, climbing trees, and catching fish by the stream." Lin Yanniang leaned forward again while holding the child, explaining respectfully.

Looks like a simple and honest girl, she is eager to show her questions and answers.

But the emperor understood that this eagerness to show off was not to show off his heart, but to prove his strength and gain the recognition of his grandmother.

Because I understood this thought, I felt more and more pity for the young wife. The emperor knew that she had poor understanding and did not explain, so he smiled and said, "Forget it, you can sit down and rest."

"Yes." Lin Yanniang smiled and looked at Yun Jingning after sitting down. Yun Jingning was already looking at her, with a smile on her face. She angrily glanced at her, but she didn't say much.

It was the child who stretched out his hands to greet his father from time to time.

Lin Yanniang thought that she had been out for a long time, so she gave a wink in consultation.

Yun Jingning nodded, whispered a few more words to his grandmother on the other side, then stood up and walked forward.

Lin Yanniang hurriedly held the child and followed.

Yun Jingning said that the child had not yet had a rest and had to take the child back, so the reason for leaving was that simple.

Can the emperor, an elder, not agree? He immediately waved his hand and asked them to retreat.

The old Marquis and the old Marquis went forward and then took their leave.

They were originally from behind, and the emperor and the queen didn't make things difficult for them. Princess Huichun sat next to the eldest princess and didn't stand up, lowering her eyes and wondering what she was thinking.

Before leaving, the old lady Hou glanced at Princess Huichun and left without saying anything.

Prime Minister Chen hurriedly followed and said, "Ruiyu and Hanxiang are both sisters in the boudoir. I will give them a good marriage."

With the emperor's words, the two girls who like Yun Jingning were anxious to make trouble in the palace, their hearts suddenly became cold, their eyes were full of panic, but they did not dare to disobey, and they twisted the handkerchief with a grievance.

Yun Jingning didn't even have any impression of Guo Ruiyu, let alone Chen Hanxiang? The rest of the world was just the candidate for the wife that Princess Huichun liked back then.

When he left the central palace and walked out of the palace, the old marquis looked at Yun Jingning first, then reached out to the back: "You are doing very well today, so let's take a break now, the little guy let me hug you."

Lin Yanniang didn't want to bother her grandfather, but then she handed the child over.

Then she took out a silk palette and wiped the sweat from Yun Jingning's forehead, and asked with concern: "Is there a place to rest here? Do you need to apply medicine again?"

Her nose was sensitive and she could naturally smell the blood on his body.

"No, I will endure it and go back. Then you wipe my sweat with me and apply medicine. I need to rest and not move around anymore."

God knows how uncomfortable the ant bites it feels, much more uncomfortable than when he was recovering from his injuries at her home last year.

Fortunately, I finally told my wife about this incident successfully, and she endured it. She performed so well in the central palace just now.

What is most surprising is that the emperor actually gave her enough face and protected her.

But at this time, there was no need to say much. Not long after, footsteps came from behind. Prime Minister Chen and his daughter caught up with him. The people on both sides exchanged a few more greetings on the palace road and then left the palace together.

Chen Hanxiang wanted to come forward to say hello to Yun Jingning and Lin Yanniang, but when they saw them holding hands, their eyes were gloomy and they lost the courage to move forward.

The words Lin's mocking Ruiyu were still buzzing in her ears, making her afraid to take risks, and using the words that would hurt the family's reputation.

The Shen family is not the Heyang Marquis Mansion. It has no support from the eldest princess, so it cannot withstand those gossips and jokes.

Chen Hanxiang lowered her head aggrievedly, looking a little weak.

Prime Minister Chen, who was walking in front, looked at Lin Yanniang curiously.

Suddenly he praised: "General Zhenbei's wife is such a strange woman. When he saw him today, Chen opened his eyes. He deserves to be the person chosen by the general."

As a first-rank prime minister, he was called General Yun Jingning, but he called himself Chen rather than his official position, which shows his low attitude.

Yun Jingning was about to speak, but Prime Minister Chen spoke again.

He smiled and said, "It's just that in the capital, the general is such a dazzling person. If you want to have a pair of people for a lifetime, it's very difficult. Take care of your wife."

Yun Jingning immediately glanced at Prime Minister Chen with a deep look.

"Thank you for your warning. Yun's attitude and Yun's position have been shown to the emperor today. If someone ignores the emperor, he will break up Yun and his wife. It is not a problem of offending Yun, but a rebellion, and his intentions should be punished."

His voice was cold, but he was not impatient or impatient. He just explained a fact indifferently. Fighting against the emperor was intriguing.

"Of course, Yun's princess mother has made trouble and beat him up, so that's it." If you want to use his mother's temperament to make trouble, you have to think about it.

"What the general said." Prime Minister Chen smiled, not displeased by Yun Jingning's bad words, but just said the facts he thought were the most reasonable.

"In fact, as long as the general and his wife take a step back and take one or two concubines, all the problems will be solved, why not?" He smiled and said calmly.

"The Prime Minister is such a bad thing." Yun Jingning immediately retorted and looked behind Prime Minister Chen with a slightly mocking look.

"Fortunately, Yun did not believe that the daughter of the prime minister's family was willing to be a concubine, otherwise he would have thought that the Prime Minister was selling his daughter."

"The general is worried too much. Chen's daughter has already been taken by the emperor and is about to choose a suitable partner to give her a marriage." Prime Minister Chen hurriedly explained.

"Then congratulate Prime Minister Chen on finding a good son-in-law to ride the dragon." Yun Jingning smiled and said happily, "As a civil servant, the Prime Minister is not aware of the idea of ​​a military general's family."

"You are in the capital, where you are jealous and jealous, and you are in the back of the capital, but this is exactly what our generals fear the most."

"I am afraid that I will fight to the battlefield and that my concubine in my family will plot against my wife and son. How can I settle down if I am uneasy in the house? How can I settle down if I am uneasy in the world?"

"Especially, our generals on the edge of Xu have not returned home for several years. No matter what happens at home, it is difficult to relieve the fire in the near future. How can we protect the peace of our country even if we can't even protect our own wife and children?"

"The generals guarding the border for many years can take their wives and children away. If there are three wives and four concubines and beautiful women, is this going to perform military affairs or go out for spring in the countryside?"

He said, ignoring the embarrassment of Prime Minister Chen's face, and smiled and said, "The general is a bloody man. He wants to see his virtuous wife and son when he goes home, and not be distracted by ordinary people."

"Instead of being addicted to the land of gentleness, being blinded by beauty, eroding one's nature, and forgetting the original intention of being full of energy when he was young."

"I think the Prime Minister should be able to agree with this. Beauty is a misleading person, especially when he is in a high position, the gentle place is a cemetery."

With hints and ridicule in these words, Prime Minister Chen, who already has more than a dozen beautiful concubines in his family, suddenly turned red and agreed awkwardly: "Yes, what the general said is exactly what we think."

Pingbai was scolded by a young man, and Prime Minister Chen was upset and changed the subject.

He glanced at the child in the old marquis's hand and smiled, "The general's son is quite loved by the emperor, and he looks very loving."

Since Yun Jingning said that he was talking about the children, he didn't say anything, and the old marquis came to socialize.

The two smart people in the court naturally understand the exquisite language, and the atmosphere of chatting and laughing is not so awkward.

Only Yun Jingning and Lin Yanniang spoke mercilessly, but they always made people unable to refute it, which was really not pleasing.

Just chatting all the way, when I was about to leave the palace, Eunuch Zhang suddenly led someone up.

It turned out that the emperor rewarded Lin Yanniang.

Unlike the morning gifts and rewards, this time it was given to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Seeing that there was a reward, Yun Jingning and Lin Yanniang wanted to kneel down and take it. Eunuch Zhang hurriedly stopped it and said with a smile: "The emperor said, please don't kneel down, and you don't have to thank you anymore, just take it away."

The two of them agreed and bowed to the other side of the palace again.

Eunuch Zhang asked someone to offer the gift from the emperor, and the first one was a seven-stringed lyre with red marks like flames embroidered in black.

"This Jiaoyang Qin, the emperor said that this is very suitable for Lin's family, and he sent him to practice the Qin with Lin's family." Eunuch Zhang explained.

Lin Yanniang was already full of excitement, took it with both hands and hugged it in her arms.

"There is a Linglong game chess score, an guqin score, a set of famous copybooks, and two volumes of birds singing in the mountains by Mr. Changlin. It just happened to combine the chess, calligraphy and painting, so that Lin can practice more."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yun Jingning and Lin Yanniang thanked each other with gratitude. Yun Jingning took over the small box containing the chess, piano scores and copybooks. The other two volumes of calligraphy and paintings were taken over by Mrs. Lao Hou.

Later, the mothers who followed the palace helped him take it and exchanged a few more greetings with Eunuch Zhang. Because Prime Minister Chen was envious and congratulated him, he was not good to give him any more money for tea.

Eunuch Zhang also understood that he should pay attention to his identity in the palace, so he clasped his fists and hurried back to report his life.

"Haha, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wife, the emperor is very confident in your talented woman. You must practice hard and don't let the emperor down."
