Deposed Empress General

Chapter 8: Go back to the barracks

Views:

Since Rong Chang'an sent someone to invite him, Li Hai naturally did not refuse, and after dealing with the matters in hand, Li Hai went to Rong Chang'an's palace. Seeing him sitting down, Rong Changan poured a cup of tea for him: "Suddenly invite the emperor to come over, I'm afraid I'm disturbing the emperor's affairs?"

"It's okay, remember, I haven't come to see the queen for a long time." Li Hai picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I invite you to come over today, but what's the matter?"

Rong Changan poured himself a cup of tea and put the teapot on the table: "The Empress Dowager met with my concubine today and said something to this concubine. The concubine thought that I should tell the emperor about this matter."

Hearing that the matter was related to the Queen Mother, Li Hai's expression froze slightly: "What's the matter?"

"Before that, my concubine would like to ask the emperor a question. Is this concubine able to make the decisions in the harem?" Rong Changan put down the cup in his hand, and looked at Li Hai with clear eyes.

Li Hai took a sip and put the cup on the table: "Since you are the queen, you are also the master of the harem. Naturally, you can be the master of matters in the harem."

"With the emperor's words, the concubine is relieved. The empress dowager told the concubine today that she wanted Miss Ziyan to enter the palace as a concubine, but the concubine refused."

Hearing the name "Zi Yan", Li Hai's face changed slightly. Sensing the change in Li Hai's face, Rong Changan pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, revealing a smile.

It seems that what happened that day left a deep impression on Li Hai. I'm afraid that even if the queen mother really sent Ziyan to Li Hai's side, Li Hai might not be interested in her.

"As for accepting the concubine, let the queen do whatever she thinks it should. I will explain to the queen mother." Li Hai approved Rong Changan without much hesitation.

Rong Chang'an nodded: "Then I would like to thank the emperor. I am not a jealous person, but I just think that now is not a good time to let sister Ziyan into the palace."

"You can do whatever you want." Li Hai didn't like Ziyan, but if the queen mother insisted on sending her to the palace, he would never have a conflict with the queen mother because of this matter.

Now Rong Chang'an declined this matter for him, which saved him trouble. It's just that Rong Chang'an refuted the Queen Mother's meaning, and the Queen Mother might embarrass her even more in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Rong Changan lowered his eyes slightly, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I have been in the palace for a few days, and I want to go to the barracks."

Hearing Rong Chang'an's words, Li Hai's face darkened: "Queen, you are now my concubine. It is inappropriate for you to go to the military camp with your status."

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been in the military camp for many years. Even if she enters the palace as a concubine, she is still a general in the army. This point will never change in my life."

Rong Chang'an has already made great achievements, and this has always been a knot in Li Hai's heart. It was also because of this that Li Hai married Rong Changan and made her queen.

Facing Rong Changan's eyes, she was full of firmness. In her past and present lives, this was something she absolutely could not let down. That is the most important thing in Rong Changan's life, even if she loses her life, she will protect it.

The two confronted each other for a long time, but Rong Changan had no intention of giving in. Li Hai picked up the teacup in front of him and put it to his mouth: "If you want to go, go. But, you are out of the palace, wearing men's clothes, let Yan Li go with you."

It was not easy for Li Hai to give in, so Rong Changan naturally didn't care about who would accompany her: "My concubine, thank you, Your Majesty."

Early the next morning, Rong Changan changed into a man's attire, and went out of the palace with Chuntao, who was also in a man's attire. As soon as he left the palace gate, Rong Changan saw Yan Li standing not far from the handrail.

Seeing Yan Li, Rong Changan remembered that Li Hai asked Yan Li to accompany her to go there yesterday. From this point of view, Li Hai trusted Yan Li very much. Since Yan Li was going with her, she sent Chuntao back to the palace to wait.

Rong Changan stepped forward and stood still behind Yan Li: "I'm afraid I will trouble Yan Yushi to accompany me for a walk today."

"It's my honor to be able to accompany the queen." Yan Li turned around when he heard the sound, pursed his lips and chuckled, "Let's go."

Rong Changan nodded, and walked forward: "It seems that Li Hai trusts you very much, and asked you to accompany me to the military camp. I want to see what kind of expression he will have if he knows your true identity." .”

"I think you don't want to see his expression." Yan Likuo walked beside Rong Changan with a slightly serious expression, "You and I are mutually beneficial, so the queen won't trap me in injustice, right? "

Rong Chang'an pursed his lips and smiled lightly, and reached out to pat Yan Li's shoulder: "Yan Yushi, don't worry, and, since you are outside, don't call me queen. Call me Chang'an, I don't wear men's clothes." It is suitable for the word queen."

"Okay, Chang'an. Who gave you your name?" Yan Li didn't refuse, and called her Chang'an very smoothly.

"My father." The figure of his father appeared in Rong Chang'an's mind, with a sense of sadness in his heart, "Father named me Chang'an, because he hoped that the people would live in peace and well-being for a long time and not suffer from wars. It's a pity that the long-cherished wish at the border has not been realized until now."

When he said this, Rong Changan's eyes were full of sadness. For the sake of Chang'an, she has been in the border for many years, and now she is forced to be trapped in the palace, which is naturally full of regret.

"Yes, the word Chang'an will come true one day."

Rong Changan turned to look at Yan Li, and saw seriousness on his face that he had never seen before. She thought that although Yan Li was the former prince, what he wanted was Chang'an.

"What about you? Who gave you the name Li?" Rong Changan looked away and looked forward, "Is it also your father?"

"I took it myself." Yan Li was not called Yan Li at first, the previous dynasty was destroyed, and his relatives were separated. Yan Li took the word Li as his own name, and they were already separated and could not be reunited.

He stopped talking all the way, and soon arrived at the barracks. Hearing about Rong Changan's arrival, the soldiers in the barracks were very excited. Rong Chang'an has been in the army for so many years, and she already has her own prestige.

"General." The man in military uniform lifted the curtain and entered, knelt down on one knee in front of Rong Changan, "General, you are finally back."

Rong Changan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help him up: "Since you call me general, how can I not come? Come during my absence, thank you for your hard work."

The person who came was Song Qiang, Rong Changan's deputy general. When she was away, Song Qiang was handling the affairs in the barracks: "It's not hard, but if the general doesn't come again, I will go to the palace to rob people."

"If you look like this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the gate of the palace." Rong Changan reached out and patted him on the shoulder, showing a generous smile, "Don't worry, this kind of life won't last long."
