Chapter 312 Return to the Palace
Back to the palace—In Fengqi Palace, Lan Qingwu was watching the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess playing. Ruhan entered the hall to report, "Your Majesty, our Sixth Prince is incredible! He won a great place in his individual martial arts performance, and the Black Eagle Battalion he commanded also won the battle. Your Majesty is very pleased, and he will return to the palace soon."
Lan Qingwu was naturally very pleased, but there was also a bit of heartache. Although the Sixth Prince was as gifted and astonishing as the Shenwu Emperor, he also made arduous efforts at a young age.
"Chu Ming is still young, so he will definitely participate in the military camp battle, but he will definitely be led by another general."
Lan Qingwu thought that the Sixth Prince was still young after all, and it was unlikely that the commander of the Black Eagle Camp would let the Sixth Prince command the battle!
Ruhan smiled gently, her eyes brightened. She leaned close to Lan Qingwu's ear and whispered a few words, and Lan Qingwu was also surprised.
It turned out that the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince who participated in the military camp battle really relied on other main generals to fight the military camp battle, but the Sixth Prince had studied his opponents, and then trained with the main generals of the Black Eagle Camp, secretly took over the command, and used unexpected and unfamiliar military tactics to disrupt the opponent's formation. After winning, the Black Eagle Camp burst into cheers, and the sound waves were higher than the other waves. The Black Eagle Camp won so beautifully that the other military camps watching the battle and the judges on the high platform all looked at it with admiration. Then the deputy general Lu Cheng revealed that the main commander was actually the Sixth Prince himself, and the people on the high platform were even more excited. Although the Emperor Shenwu showed pride, he still suppressed the joy of the ministers. He did not want the Sixth Prince to be high-profile anymore, and he just wanted to proceed steadily and step by step.
Some are happy and some are worried.
Lan Qingwu was just waiting for Emperor Shenwu and his entourage to return to the palace.
When Emperor Shenwu returned to the palace, Lan Qingwu led the six concubines, seven princes and princesses to wait for the emperor's return at the main gate of the inner palace.
The imperial carriage finally arrived at the palace, and Emperor Shenwu stepped off the dragon chariot.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you back to the palace!"
Emperor Shenwu stepped forward and personally helped Lan Qingwu, who was kneeling in the front, to his feet: "Queen, please stand up! Concubines, please stand up!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang then stood up with the other concubines. The other princes also dismounted from their sedan chairs and bowed to Lan Qingwu and the others.
After the princes and princesses exchanged greetings, Emperor Shenwu did not let go of Lan Qingwu's hand. Instead, he asked gently, "Is everything alright in the palace?"
He asked in the palace, but he was staring at Lan Qingwu's expression.
Lan Qingwu replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Queen Mother is doing well, and the harem is peaceful."
Emperor Shenwu naturally knew Lan Qingwu. Although she was usually too lazy to take care of things, once she took over, she would do it perfectly. However, Emperor Shenwu did not want Lan Qingwu to work too hard, so he usually shared power with Lan Qingwu in the harem.
"Thank you for your hard work, Queen!"
Lan Qingwu shook her head gently: "I am not tired at all. Imperial Concubine Jiang and the others are also there to help me share my worries."
Emperor Shenwu then turned to the concubines in the six palaces and said, "Good! Everyone will get a reward!"
As he said that, he took Lan Qingwu's hand and walked forward.
The concubines and princes and princesses followed closely behind.
Emperor Shenwu then issued an order, ordering all the palaces to return to their own palaces. They were exhausted today, so he would host a banquet tomorrow and invite all six palaces together.
Emperor Shenwu naturally went to Fengqi Palace. The concubines didn't need to fight for it, so they dispersed and returned to their respective palaces.
In Fengqi Palace, before Lan Qingwu had a chance to take a good look at the Sixth Prince, Emperor Shenwu directly picked him up and carried him across the front yard back to his bedroom.
Ru Ping Ru Han quickly asked the palace maids to settle the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince, and tactfully told the Sixth Prince that he would meet his mother later!
The Sixth Prince smiled calmly and pulled the reluctant Seventh Prince back to his own palace. At this time, he and his brother were no match for their father.
In the bedroom, the Emperor was filled with longing. He kissed Lan Qingwu until she was breathless. When Lan Qingwu's eyes were confused and her face flushed, the Emperor let go of her red lips and asked, "Have you missed me these days?"
Lan Qingwu had no choice but to nod.
"Are you tired these days? Is there really nothing going on in the palace?"
Lan Qingwu said: "I am not too tired yet, but if Brother Heng doesn't come back, I will be tired!"
The half-hearted, half-fake coquettishness greatly pleased the Emperor Shenwu: "Didn't I hurry back?"
"There are no major events in the palace. Everything is stable. The minor issues are not worth mentioning. The weak ones have all been resolved."
Emperor Shenwu jokingly said, "I think so too. Ruo Ruo has always been smart and capable."
She simply refused to do more, and of course, he was reluctant to do so. The main reason was that Emperor Shenwu was concerned about Lan Qingwu's health. After so many years of using Jiuzhi Flower Dew to nourish her body, Lan Qingwu's physique had gradually improved. However, Emperor Shenwu didn't want her to worry about it. In short, everything was based on the Empress's health.
Lan Qingwu hooked his arm around the neck of the Shenwu Emperor: "Brother Heng, Chu Ming..."
Emperor Shenwu gently hooked Lan Qingwu's belt with his bony fingers, then turned to kiss the snow-white neck of the person in his arms.
Lan Qingwu paused for a moment: "Your Majesty, would you like some food?"
Her original intention was to remind the Emperor Shenwu that it was still broad daylight. But why would the Emperor Shenwu care about this?
Emperor Shenwu fanned the fire with his hands and said in a low voice, "When we were close, you called me 'Brother Heng', but now you call me 'Your Majesty'. Are you trying to remind me?"
The end of the Shenwu Emperor's tone was dangerously hooked: "Hmm?"
Emperor Shenwu had not favored Lan Qingwu for many days, and he bullied Lan Qingwu until his whole body was trembling and his legs were weak. Finally, his consciousness became blurred. Emperor Shenwu didn't know how many times he shouted "Father" before he let him go.
In a daze and confused by love, the Emperor Shenwu whispered in Lan Qingwu's ear: "Ruoruo gave me a good son!"
