   Chapter 369 General

  Some people are indeed born talents.

  For example, Li Hao, the third prince, had never led an army before, and he served as an overseer for more than half a year, mostly in the rear of the army. Once the lead troops go into battle, they will shine like a sword out of its sheath.

   In the first battle against General Yan, he won a great victory. Sweep away the decline of the past two months. The morale of Da Wei, who had been somewhat depressed at first, was also boosted.

The good news of   's great victory soon reached the ears of Emperor Yongjia.

  Emperor Yongjia was overjoyed, and said to the generals: "My sons, all of them are heroic."

  The eldest prince injured his right leg after defeating the battle, no one mentioned it again. All the generals praised the three princes one after another.

  The third prince is the son-in-law of the Marquis of Guangping. The Marquis of Guangping also felt a light on his face, and said to Emperor Yongjia with a smile: "His Royal Highness has made many military exploits. I never imagined that the third prince is also so brave. My congratulations to the emperor!"

  Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the Xingyang Army. The father and son of King Xingyang worked hard for His Royal Highness, and they held the name of being good at fighting.

   With the temper of the Marquis of Puyang, he wouldn't hold the third prince like this, it would be good if he didn't hold back.

   In such a situation, the third prince led the army for the first time and won the battle, and the victory was clean and neat, which had to be amazing.

  Emperor Yongjia flashed arrogance and self-satisfaction in his eyes: "My sons are all good. The third prince came from a low background, but he is talented and both civil and military."

  The Marquis of Guangping certainly didn't mind adding to his son-in-law, so he immediately smiled and said, "From the minister's point of view, His Royal Highness the third prince is most like the emperor when he was young.

   The eldest prince is useless. Guangping Hou adjusted his direction flexibly, and it was a pleasure to hold his son-in-law.

  Emperor Yongjia wrote a letter to the third prince himself.

  …

   The court got a good news, the officials were overjoyed, and the condensed atmosphere in the palace quickly relaxed.

   Empress Dowager Zhao, who has been ill for many days, is in a good mood and can stay at the hotel in just two days. Rarely took the initiative to summon Concubine Su, and said pleasantly: "The third prince led the troops to a great victory, which inspired the morale of Da Wei. Appreciation of merit will have to wait for the future. Right now, Aijia will reward you."

   The maid on the side brought some fine brocades.

  Things are nothing, what matters is the decency.

   Concubine Su was flattered and quickly got up to thank her: "My concubine thanked the Queen Mother for her grace."

  The mother is more valuable than the child, this statement is not true at all.

   Concubine Su entered the Li family's house as a dancer, and after giving birth to a son, she was carried as a concubine. In the past few years, he has been able to gain a foothold in the palace because he gave birth to two sons in succession.

  The third prince made a military exploit, Concubine Su's face was bright, and she straightened her back wherever she went in the past few days.

   Empress Dowager Zhao said with a smile: "There is no shortage of food and clothing in the palace, and you can't do without silk and satin. This is a little bit of Aijia's heart, you just accept it."

   Concubine Su thanked her again and happily accepted the reward.

   Yes, Yihua Palace does not lack food and clothing, but what is lacking is decent honor.

   Empress Dowager Zhao has already rewarded Concubine Su, and Empress Qiao did not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and said with a smile: "The queen mother rewarded Concubine Su, and her daughter-in-law also got married and rewarded Concubine Su once."

   Queen Qiao rewarded Concubine Su with a set of head and face jewelry.

   Concubine Su thanked her with a smile on her face. The figure is much lighter than before.

   Concubine Qin, who was sitting beside her, was bubbling with sourness. But it was inconvenient to say anything. On that day, the fourth prince led the army to win the battle and returned to the capital, and Queen Qiao and the Queen Mother Zhao also received many rewards.

   Now that the person in the limelight has been replaced by Concubine Su, Concubine Qin can only endure the sourness and congratulate her.

   Concubine Su was in a good mood and said with a smile: "I am in the palace, and I don't know about leading troops to fight. I am very happy that the third prince can contribute to the great Wei."

  Lu Mingyu looked at Concubine Su who was proud of the spring breeze, a little dazzling, and quickly looked away.

   Li Hao was able to sit on the dragon chair in his previous life, because of his luck, and because of his bravery and skill, he won a lot of battles.

   No matter how much she hates Li Hao, she can't deny it.

After returning to Jiaofang Palace from Shouning Palace, Queen Qiao took a deep breath and whispered to Lu Mingyu: "It's not that this palace is narrow-minded, but this palace is also happy when the third prince leads the army to win the battle. The virtue of the villain's success is like swallowing a fly. It's really disgusting!"

  Lu Mingyu calmed down and reassured Queen Qiao with a smile: "Mother Quan Dang didn't see her."

   This kind of thing will not be less in the future.

Queen Qiao knew something in her heart, so she couldn't help but sighed softly: "Those who have the ability and ability can't hide it. After this battle, the third prince became famous, I'm afraid that the limelight will soon overshadow the prince. already."

  Lu Mingyu's expression was calm: "The queen mother is too worried. His Royal Highness, the crown prince, has made great achievements in battle, and no one can surpass His Highness. Taking a step back, even if the third prince has more achievements in battle, it will not shake His Highness's position."

   Queen Qiao was silent for a moment, then said softly: "The prince leads the army to fight, but Ben Gong has always been reluctant. Now that I think about it, it's fortunate that the prince has gone."

   Otherwise, you can only stay in the capital and watch the Third Prince stand out like this.

  …

   After this victory, what followed was good news.

  Li Hao led the Zhao army to win successive battles, and the Xingyang army did not give up. On the Chu side, good news also began to come. The two armies of the Great Wei and the Great Wei have won the battle, and there is a trend of breaking the bamboo.

  The boulder that was hanging in everyone's hearts quietly fell.

   At this time, the only people who still remember the eldest prince's leg injury are Concubine Meng and Concubine Meng.

  The eldest concubine fell ill and will be raised for more than two months. She has lost a lot of weight, and she is finally able to stay and walk. She entered the palace and went to Yanxi Palace to visit her mother-in-law.

   As soon as they met, the eldest prince was taken aback: "Why is the mother's face so ugly?"

  Concubine Meng lay sickly on the bed, her whole body was so thin that she almost lost her traces, her complexion was sallow, her eyes lost the brilliance of the past, just like a dying flower.

   Hearing the voice of the eldest prince, Concubine Meng raised her eyes slightly and quickly lowered her eyes. Not even interested in talking.

  The eldest princess was anxious and afraid, and looked at Princess Jing'an beside the bed: "Sister, the concubine has been sick for so many days, hasn't she gotten better?"

  Princess Jing'an stayed beside her mother's bed for two months, her beautiful cheeks were no longer rosy, and she looked rather gloomy. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly: "The imperial doctor in the palace comes every day to ask for a pulse, and I also comfort me every day. But the mother-in-law is thinking about the emperor's brother every day and refuses to drink the soup, and the disease is getting worse and worse."

The eldest princess felt the same, and her eyes were slightly red: "His Royal Highness is seriously injured, I don't know how it is now. When I think of this, my heart is like fried in flames. However, no matter how sad and sad, life will go on. With Brother Tang to take care of, I force myself to drink medicine every day."

   Concubine Meng didn't seem to hear anything and didn't move.

  Princess Jing An was very filial, and her eyes quickly turned red, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
