Chapter 452: Mission Accomplished
"The Queen Mother!" The palace attendant quickly walked into the palace with a slightly anxious tone, "The news just came over there that Mr. Yu was punished by Her Majesty the Queen."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ladies who were having tea in the Queen Mother's Palace all changed.
Yu Jingyi stood up suddenly: "What's going on?"
The Queen Mother's face immediately turned ugly: "Why?"
"I heard it was a disgrace before you..."
Yu Jingyi couldn't wait any longer, so she turned around and walked out.
"Second Miss Yu." The palace man stopped her quickly, "Young Master Yu has been sent out of the palace."
Yu Jingyi nodded hurriedly: "I understand." She quickly walked away.
As soon as she left, Yun Yao, the young princess of Prince Rong's Mansion, also stood up: "The Queen Mother, please rest first, I will leave."
Yun Xian, the young lady from the Prince's Palace of Kang County, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please leave."
Several other girls stood up one after another and were gone in the blink of an eye.
The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair and watched them leave one by one without saying a word. Her face was as sinking as water, and she slowly tightened her grip on the tea cup in her hand.
The news that Young Master Yu was beaten with a cane in the palace soon spread, and the Young Masters from the imperial capital's family couldn't help but start talking about it after dinner.
"Is Her Majesty the Queen not interested in men now, or does she simply look down on the Yu family?"
"Maybe it's because he doesn't get close to men. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the harem has been empty. It's very different from his previous style. It's probably because he doesn't like these proactive methods of getting closer."
"Although the Yu family is no longer as prosperous as it once was, Tutor Yu is highly respected after all. It should be impossible for Her Majesty the Queen to deal with the Yu family... Moreover, the Yu family did not favor any prince in the fight for the heir in those years, and he is not considered to be anyone's party member. ”
"That's true."
"But it seems that the wishful thinking of many officials is in vain. Her Majesty the Queen does not seem to have plans to fill the harem at the moment. Those young men from aristocratic families who have ideas will be old in a few years."
"What are you afraid of when you get older? A new generation of young men has risen again. As long as Her Majesty the Queen wants to choose one, she will not worry about not having a suitable candidate..."
This is true.
Those who are anxious are always those who want to enter the palace or who want to send their sons to the palace. As for Her Majesty the Queen, she is definitely not in a hurry. Anyway, no matter when the draft is held, there will be young and handsome men for her to choose from.
Chu Qinghuang had no interest in paying attention to these outsiders' thoughts.
Yu Qiubai's appearance was just an episode to her. Even though this man was knowledgeable and somewhat arrogant, it was nothing strange to her.
First, polish his aloofness. If he can understand this clearly, he can be reused in the future. If he always insists on that unnecessary aloofness and cannot let go of his excessive self-esteem, even if he can become an official, he will be doomed. Can't reach too high a position.
In late February, Fucang came back.
After escorting the grain and grass to the border safely, he rode his horse back first, and Qi Ling took over the grain and grass. At the same time, Zhong Zhongjin sent a batch of heavy bows and arrows to Qi Ling in the name of the court, which undoubtedly increased Improved the fighting morale of the soldiers.
Protecting the home and country is the duty of the military. However, with the king's strong support from the rear, military pay and food can be fully guaranteed, which obviously gives soldiers more confidence and reduces worries.
After being out for nearly two months, Fucang has become obviously calmer, his posture is upright, and his eyebrows are stained by wind and dust, giving him a bit more tempered sharpness and restrained demeanor.
"Fortunately, my subordinates have lived up to their orders and delivered the grain and grass safely to General Qi at the border." Fu Cang knelt down on one knee and said in a calm and powerful voice, "Everything goes well in the border war. Please rest assured, master."
Chu Qinghuang had a lot of information at hand, but at this time she didn't want to waste any more time on piles of government affairs.
Standing up, she walked to Fu Cang, looked at him for a while, and said calmly: "He seems a little haggard."
Fucang reached out and touched his face: "It is inevitable to be exposed to wind and sun when transporting food and grass. It is normal to feel haggard."
Chu Qinghuang hummed and asked him to stand up: "Did anything unexpected happen along the way?"
"No, it went very well." Fucang shook his head, "The head of the Zhou family also helped a little. He also prepared a batch of grain and grass from other cities and sent it over. The grain in the border granary will be enough for three months. It's just the new addition. The fodder used by the war horses was not included in the calculation, and there was a slight shortage. Later, we worked hard to make up for it. "
Chu Qinghuang nodded: "Yes, he is becoming more and more like a person who does great things."
Fu Cang lowered his eyebrows, his eyebrows were soft and soft: "They are all cultivated by the master."
