Chapter 267 A Premeditated Dream

The young man thought for a moment and asked, "If you are successful in suppressing the rebellion, will you be rewarded?"

"able."

The young man nodded and followed the eldest princess's order to lead troops and horses to put down the rebellion.

On the eve of the prince's accession to the throne, the power of the government was basically in his hands. He, a fledgling young man, led the army to put down the rebellion, which would naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of many powerful families - because leading the army to put down the rebellion was also a problem for the children of the military general family. An opportunity to accumulate military merit and experience.

The opportunity that should have belonged to the children of the aristocratic family was snatched away by this young man who was looked down upon by everyone. All of a sudden, the courtiers wrote letters begging the eldest princess to take back her life.

But in the end it didn't work out.

The young man at that time had no idea how much resistance the eldest princess had to endure to suppress the dissatisfaction of all the courtiers, just to give him a chance to make military achievements.

After more than four months, under the scorching sun in June, the young man returned triumphantly with the first batch of loyal soldiers under his command, bringing victory and glory.

The sun was exceptionally bright that day, making people dizzy.

Sitting on a tall horse, the young man could see the figure standing in the wind on the tower at a glance. It seemed that all the light in the sky was eclipsed. In his eyes, he could only see the beautiful figure who had been tortured by longing for more than four months, and nothing else.

The girl's gentle and smiling face is the cinnabar that is carved into his bones and blood forever and cannot be erased.

He jumped up from the horse, jumped up to the high tower under the shocked and angry eyes of everyone, knelt down, and saluted his favorite princess, without a trace of unwillingness or grievance, and sincerely offered his loyalty.

In full view of everyone, he took her delicate white hand and put it to his lips and kissed her: "The princess promised to give me a reward, so can I make a request of my own?"

More than four months after he went out to fight the rebellion, the young man's appearance is still delicate and handsome, but his facial features are obviously tougher, and his eyebrows are a bit more cold and upright that he didn't have before.

Her Royal Highness the Princess has always been tolerant of him. After hearing this, she nodded without hesitation: "What request do you want to make?"

The young man hesitated for a moment. There were thousands of words in his heart, and one after another inappropriate request was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say a word.

He knew in his heart that even if the princess agreed to him, he could not make too many demands because of his status, otherwise he would overestimate his capabilities and put her in a dilemma.

The eldest princess saw his hesitation and said with a faint smile: "If you have any ideas, it's okay to say it."

"After you ascend the throne, can you... not choose the royal husband to enter the palace?" He lowered his head and his voice lowered unconsciously, "It's just for the time being..."

After all, he didn't dare to go too far. His "temporary" sentence had already exhausted his maximum courage.

The eldest princess was silent for a while and nodded gently: "Okay, I promise you."

When the young man heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into joy: "Really?"

The eldest princess nodded, her voice calm and gentle: "Really."

In fact, according to the practice of Dongling dynasties, after each emperor ascends the throne, the first draft after the new emperor ascends the throne will be held the next month. The eldest princess's enthronement ceremony is in September, and in these two days, the details and candidates for the selection of the emperor's husband have been submitted to the imperial court one after another.

On the desk in the study room of the eldest princess's mansion, there are also several names of nearly unofficial wives.

But all this will be put on hold because of the boy's request.

But the eldest princess thought this was nothing.

Huaijin should be rewarded for his military exploits, not to mention the little joy in his eyes, she felt it was worth it.

The next situation seemed to have not changed much. The young man who had achieved military exploits was still inseparable from Her Highness the Princess. Even though the emperor and ministers said that this was inappropriate, and the children of the powerful also felt that it was against the rules, Rong Huaijin never paid attention to the outside world. In words, I usually go my own way.

However, something is different after all.

After more than four months of separation, the deep-seated longing made the young man fully understand his feelings for the eldest princess. The once unruly and rebellious edge had completely disappeared after this triumph. His feelings in front of the eldest princess His attitude became gentle and gentle, and he carefully guarded the most important person in his heart.

The eldest princess did not hide her concern for this young man.

But the emperor's feelings are never a child's play, but are related to the country, the country, and the alliance between the monarch's power and his ministers' power.

Therefore, no matter how pure the feelings were in childhood, once you sit in that position, many things will happen out of your control. He can only protect his feelings as much as possible within a temporarily limited scope and not let anyone trample on them easily.

During the coronation ceremony in September, Her Majesty the Queen officially entered the Taisho Palace, and the boy became the most loyal shadow and the most special existence around him.

Although he does not have a cleansing body, he can enter and exit Her Majesty the Queen's bedroom at any time and at any time, personally attend to Her Majesty the Queen's daily life, go to court with Her Majesty the Queen in the morning, and go to the Royal Study with Her Majesty the Queen to discuss matters after court.

He became the number one master in the palace, the number one general walking in front of the emperor, and the sharpest sword in Her Majesty’s hand.

Everyone in the civil and military dynasties knew that he was Her Majesty the Queen's "retainer" and the person Her Majesty the Queen cared about the most. The Queen valued him more than any of her powerful children, and she cast too many eyes of hostility on him, both overtly and covertly.

But in his eyes, there was only the Queen.

…

This night's dream was very long, but Nan Xi was not awakened in the middle of the night.

The scene in the dream was like a slowly flowing river, bringing the boy from the age of fourteen to the age of sixteen, transforming him from the unruly wolf cub into a young general.

The transition of the picture was clear and natural, without any abruptness. Everything looked so beautiful. Even the hostility of the children of the powerful and aristocratic families seemed to be covered with a layer of fog in the dream, hazy and soft, not very clear.

Nan Xi did not open her eyes after waking up, but emptied her mind and lay quietly on the bed. After about an incense stick of time, she began to try to recall all the key points that appeared in the dream, and strung this "premeditated dream" with the story of Empress Jinghua told by Rong Yu yesterday afternoon, and then quietly fell into thinking.
