Chapter 1069 I Will Favor You After I Am Done with My Work
Taihuang Palace.
Under the old tree in the yard, Emperor Xuan was lying on a lounge chair, squinting his eyes and looking full of enjoyment. The father-in-law was beating Emperor Xuan's legs.
A leaf fell gently, drifting in the wind, and landed just on Emperor Xuan's face.
Emperor Xuan opened his eyes, covered the dappled sunlight that penetrated the branches and leaves with one hand, plucked the leaves off his face with the other, and then sat up.
"Quansheng, let's count the time. Isn't that brat Ning Chen coming back?"
Eunuch Quan leaned over and said, "According to His Majesty's words, it's time to come back."
Emperor Xuan said with a heartbroken face: "It's really difficult for this child. Daxuan has been in trouble these past years, forcing this child to run around, fighting in the north and south, without a moment's leisure!"
Eunuch Quan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is good at military strategy, and the battlefield is his stage. This old slave enjoys seeing His Majesty.
But now the only thing left is the Northern Territory. Once the Northern Territory is recovered, the prince can rest. "
Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, looked at the blooming flowers in the yard, and sighed: "Time flies so fast... In a flash, General Chen has been gone for several years.
I dreamed about General Chen last night. When Ning Chen comes back, I will let this brat take people to pay homage to the old general. "
Just as Quan Sheng was about to nod, a eunuch walked into the courtyard with small steps, knelt down and said, "To the Supreme Emperor, please see the Regent!"
Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment, then stood up from the recliner with surprise on his face.
Father-in-law Quan was also surprised and his old face turned into chrysanthemums.
Emperor Xuan said: "It's really careless. I was talking about him just now, and now he's back... Please invite him in quickly."
"yes!"
The little eunuch got up and was about to invite him when he saw Ning Chen walking in from the door.
With light steps and a bright smile, Ning Chen came to Emperor Xuan and knelt down on the ground, "My son, please see your father, may your father be blessed with peace and prosperity!"
Emperor Xuan was overjoyed, "You bastard, get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Ning Chen stood up.
Emperor Xuan stared at Ning Chen closely, patted his shoulder and squeezed his arm, "You brat, your body is getting stronger and stronger. Just now I was telling Quan Sheng when will you come back? I didn't expect that. You're back now and gave me a surprise."
Ning Chen smiled brightly, "Father, your face is red and full of energy. You can see that he is in good health and he eats deliciously."
Emperor Xuan smiled and said: "Father, if you stay in this deep palace, where the wind can't blow or the rain can't hit you, what can happen? You, on the other hand, must have suffered a lot outside and lost a lot of weight."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "My son is not thin. Parents all over the world think their sons are thin no matter how fat they are."
There is a kind of love, which is called parents thinking you have lost weight.
Ning Chen said and looked at Quan Sheng, "Lao Quan, how are you doing lately? Do you miss me?"
Quan Shengxiao narrowed his eyes and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine with me."
Maybe it's because I'm older and I haven't seen him for a long time. Instead of feeling strange, I feel more familiar with Ning Chen.
Emperor Xuan's face was full of joy, "It's full, pass on the food... inform the imperial kitchen that there must be roast duck."
"Yes, old slave, go now!"
Emperor Xuan told Ning Chen, "Father knows that you like to eat roast duck from Tianfulou, so he sent the imperial chef to study at Tianfulou. Now the roast duck in the palace tastes the same as the one from Tianfulou."
Ning Chen was filled with emotion, "Did your father send someone to open a roast duck restaurant in Xuanwu City?"
Emperor Xuan smiled and nodded, "Father is old, and that's all you can do for you."
"My son, thank you for your favor!"
Emperor Xuan said: "Okay, don't thank me anymore... Come, sit and chat. It's been a long time since we, father and son, have seen each other. Let's have a good chat."
Ning Chen hummed, grabbed Emperor Xuan's recliner and lay down.
Emperor Xuan smiled and then asked someone to bring a chair over.
There were several plates of snacks on the stone table next to him. Emperor Xuan pinched a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it to Ning Chen, and asked casually: "That man named Kang Xiao was kidnapped from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Do you know this? "
Ning Chen took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, hummed helplessly, and sighed again.
"I know that Kang Xiao is very important, but he has been lost, so don't worry about getting angry."
Ning Chen muttered: "I really admire these two great smarts, Geng Ziyi and Li Zhixing... Kang Xiao is Kang Luo's biological brother. With him, you can... Oh, forget it!"
Ning Chen felt so angry that his liver ached when he mentioned this matter.
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Then what are your plans next?"
Ning Chen took a sip of the tea handed over by Emperor Xuan, and then said solemnly: "In ten days at most, we will march to Xiangzhou and recover the eastern territory."
Emperor Xuan was shocked, "Then Kang Xiao doesn't care?"
Ning Chen said: "Father, these so-called Great Nations and so on are just trivial fights and are not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength.
No matter how powerful the power behind them is, all they can do is use some dirty tricks to stir up trouble...the ultimate goal is to slow down their subordinates.
In front of the army, the likes of the National Congress are of no importance at all, and no one can even think of slowing down the progress of the subordinates.
Now that summer has entered, it is a good time to attack the Eastern Territory. If we are held back by a small World Congress, we will have to wait until next year to regain the Eastern Territory. "
Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen with a face filled with relief, "Father supports you! But there is something that Father thinks is very important."
"What's up?"
Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "When will you and Huai'an give birth to a fat boy for me?"
Ning Chen: "......"
"Father, I am not the only one who has the final say on this matter. Huai'an has only been on the throne for a short time, and everything has not been sorted out yet. Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."
The Emperor Xuan snorted coldly, "If you wait any longer, I will be buried."
Ning Chen was speechless, "Pfft...Father will definitely live a long life!"
That night, Ning Chen, Emperor An, and Emperor Xuan had dinner together.
After eating and drinking, Emperor Xuan drove Ning Chen and Emperor An away.
"It's getting late, go back and have a good rest!"
How could Ning Chen not know what Emperor Xuan was thinking? He smiled and said, "Father, it's still early, can I chat with you for a while?"
"Go, go...If you have something to say, I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm tired, you should go back and have a rest early!"
Ning Chen shook his head helplessly and followed Emperor An back to the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, aren't we going back to the palace?"
Emperor An said, "I haven't been back to the palace for more than half a year. After handling government affairs, I rested in the Yangxin Palace. It's convenient and saves me from running back and forth."
Ning Chen said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, so let's rest early?"
Emperor An glanced at him, walked over and sat down behind the dragon table, picked up a memorial and flipped through it, and said, "I still have government affairs to deal with, you go to rest first."
Ning Chen: "......."
"Your Majesty, we haven't seen each other for so long, you let me sleep alone?"
Emperor An stared at the memorial without raising his head, and said casually, "If you want to sleep with me, just lie down obediently. I will favor you after I'm done with my work."
Ning Chen's mouth twitched fiercely.
