Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Knowing that Chang En had entered the palace and that Chu Ran was being taken care of by Wu Mi, Chen Mo left Chu Ran's palace and sent word that Chang En had come to the imperial study.

"My lord, Chang'en, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty." Chang'en walked in slowly, looked at Chen Mo, and immediately lowered his head and bowed in salute.

"Quickly excuse yourself, come and give me a seat." Chen Mo raised his eyes and said with a smile, but it was at this moment that his eyebrows were slightly raised.

Because there is a red number "1919" on Chang En's forehead.

After Jia Yin brought an imperial chair and exited the imperial study, Chen Mo said, "Chang En, have you entered the upper third level?"

After Chang En sat down, he nodded with a smile and said respectfully: "Thanks to His Majesty's blessing, I was lucky enough to enter the realm of supernatural powers at the beginning of the year."

"Okay, okay."

Chen Mo shouted three times happily, feeling very excited.

You must know that there are only a handful of upper-third-level warriors in the Wei Dynasty. Each additional one means that the Wei Dynasty has added a new "weapon of mass destruction" that can be used continuously, which is also a significant enhancement to the overall strength of the army.

The most important thing is that Chang En is in his prime and has not yet reached the age of forty. Unlike Wu Yanqing and Xiao Jing, the older generation of magical warriors who are over seventy years old, he can still serve the country for decades and is worthy of great efforts. nourish.

Especially when Chen Mo wanted to hand over the throne to the prince as soon as possible, Chang En was the important team that Chen Mo left to the prince.

"Youzhou is a bitter cold land with poor living conditions. In the past two years, I have asked you to guard the border. Do you have any complaints against me?" Chen Mo stood up and came to Chang En and said.

Chen Mo stood, and of course Chang En did not dare to sit anymore. He immediately stood up and said respectfully: "I am only grateful to your majesty. In the past, I obeyed the teacher's orders and entered the world without any sense of place. It was your majesty who took me in, and even more so later. Following His Majesty's instructions, I had the opportunity to finally fulfill my filial piety for my master and bury my master's funeral.

Later, when I had not made any achievements, Your Majesty even let me serve in important positions in the army. For such a great kindness, I am willing to repay Your Majesty with my life. I will go through fire and water for Your Majesty without any hesitation. How can I have any complaints?

Moreover, if it hadn't been for the two years of training at the border, I might not have been able to enter the realm of supernatural powers. "

Chang En bowed his hands heavily towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo looked into Chang En's eyes and could see that he had grown a lot in the past two years. If it were Chang En two years ago, he would definitely not be able to say these words, and what he said was so profound and meaningful. , giving people the impression that what they say is the same as what they think.

Chen Mo was very satisfied with Chang En's answer and said: "This time I am asking you to return to Beijing. Firstly, you have worked hard guarding the border and come back to have a good rest. In addition, I plan to put an extra burden on you. I don't know if you can, Chang En." Affordable.”

"But at your Majesty's command, I am willing to be your Majesty's pawn." Chang'en said.

"good."

Chen Mo reached out and patted Chang En on the shoulder, and immediately said: "You have done a good job in guarding the border. I plan to let you serve as the captain of the brave guard's middle base, and concurrently as the minister of war, to coordinate the entire army of the brave guard."

Chang En was shocked when he heard this. Shen Yong Wei was the most powerful army among all the armies, except His Majesty's personal barracks (Yinglin Army), and the equipment was also the most sophisticated.

He has only been in the army for a short time and yet he has taken on such an important responsibility, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to him.

Moreover, the Minister of War is also the second-in-command of the Ministry of War.

"Your Majesty, this."

"Didn't you say that you should follow my orders?"

Chen Mo seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say and interrupted Chang En's words directly.

"Your Majesty, General Cui serves as the midfield captain of the Divine Guard. Your Majesty has promoted me to the position of captain of the Divine Guard. What will General Cui do?" Although Chang En has changed a lot, his character is still very simple. He feels that he I feel sorry for Cui Shuang by doing this.

"General Cui, I have other arrangements, Chang En, you don't need to worry." Chen Mo said.

In this case, Chang En accepted the order: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Mo took his hand off Chang En's shoulder, looked at Chang En and said, "Chang En, how old are you this year?"

"Your Majesty, three out of thirty." Chang En said.

"Thirty-three? You're not young yet, but you haven't started a family yet. That's not okay."

As he said that, Chen Mo turned around and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he suddenly turned around to look at Chang En and said, "I plan to arrange a marriage for you. What do you think?"

"This" Chang En, who had a somewhat honest face, suddenly turned red when he heard this.

The energy of a warrior is already strong, and Chang En has been living in the mountains for twenty or thirty years. He has been holding back for twenty or thirty years. When he joined the army and experienced the world of mortals, it became even more serious. It is a lie to say that he does not want women.

But for Chang En, who had never experienced anything between men and women, he was a little embarrassed about what Chen Mo said. He hesitated for a while and didn't answer.

When Chen Mo saw him like this, he immediately smiled and said: "What is this? I will make the decision for you. In a few days, I will choose some good families for you to choose."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chang En's face flushed, and he was very happy, even happier than being promoted.

"I value you very much, and I hope you will not disappoint my expectations." Chen Mo patted Chang En's shoulder again.

Upon hearing this, Chang En immediately expressed his loyalty to Chen Mo again.

Chen Mo nodded and smiled, took his hand back, and talked about another thing: "I remember when you first said that you had a junior brother named Huicheng, do you still remember him?"

Chang En nodded. He remembered saying this, but he was confused as to why His Majesty told him this.

"Before, when I was fighting against the coalition forces of King Chong in Songjiapo, I captured a general of the enemy army named Huicheng. After investigation, I found that he was the junior brother you mentioned to me." Chen Mo said.

Chang En was shocked and immediately expressed his position: "Although I am a junior brother with Huicheng, he colluded with the rebels and took the wrong path. He deserves to die."

He thought Huicheng was dead. After all, King Chong and King Huai had been identified as rebels.

Huicheng, can he still live?

He thought that His Majesty asked him this just to know his opinion on this matter.

"He is not dead." Chen Mo said.

"Not dead?" Chang En was shocked again.

"At that time, I only abolished his cultivation. After learning that he was your junior brother, I locked him up in the prison. Now that you are back, I will leave him to you to deal with." Chen Mo handed over Huicheng's life and death to Chang En.

This was Chen Mo's means to further win over Chang En.

As for Huicheng, his cultivation was abolished, and Chen Mo didn't care whether he was dead or alive.

Chang En: "..."

Such a favor made him feel a little helpless.

...

At night.

In Chu Ran's bedroom.

The room was warm, the fire in the stove was strong, and a unicorn incense burner was burning, covering the faint bloody smell in the room.

Wu Mi would take Chu Ran's pulse every hour, always paying attention to her condition.

After taking her pulse, Wu Mi wanted to tell the people below to feed Chu Ran a bowl of meat porridge.

At this moment, Chu Ran, who was lying on the bed unconscious, had trembling eyelashes and pale lips moving, and from time to time, words burst out of his mouth: "Shuishui."

Wu Mi leaned close to hear this, and quickly poured a glass of water for Chu Ran, and even deliberately put the water in the cup in the boiling iron kettle to warm it up before feeding it to Chu Ran.

After drinking the water, Chu Ran slowly opened her eyes. Her pale face was filled with discomfort. When she saw Wu Mi, she said weakly, "Queen. Madam, why are you here?"

"Jingfei sister, you are awake." Wu Mi was delighted and quickly told Chu Ran not to move. She helped her cover the quilt and said, "Jingfei sister, you fainted due to heavy bleeding when you gave birth during the day. His Majesty asked me to take care of you. Now you are fine. You need to rest well and don't move around."

"Heavy bleeding?"

Chu Ran's face turned even paler. She immediately looked around in panic. Her lips trembled as she said, "Where is the child? Queen, where is my child? No. Is there something wrong with the child?"

Her eyes were red, and she even propped herself up and wanted to get off the bed.

Wu Mi quickly stopped them and said, "Sister Jingfei, don't move. The child is fine."

"Where's the child?"

"Come here, bring the little princess here." In order to make Chu Ran feel at ease, Wu Mi asked someone to bring the baby girl here.

The baby girl was taken away by the midwife to be fed. After hearing what the queen said, the female official waiting outside the palace immediately went over to bring the baby girl here.

Although Chu Ran had never seen her own child, the moment she saw the baby girl, it was as if her blood was awakened. Chu Ran knew at a glance that this was her child.

"Daughter, my daughter, bring her here quickly so I can see her." Chu Ran raised her hand to hold her.

Wu Mi took it from the female official's hand, then put it next to Chu Ran and said, "Sister Jingfei, you are weak now, just look at it like this, so as not to drop the child."

Chu Ran nodded, her eyes were already fixed on the baby girl and could not move away, and her fingers fiddled with the baby girl's little face.

The baby girl is now asleep.

Chu Ran didn't dare to wake her up. After gently fiddling with her for a while, she asked Wu Mi softly, "Queen, can you tell me what happened after I fainted?"

"Of course." Wu Mi said slowly.

Chu Ran was shocked and couldn't help sobbing: "Queen, thank you, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the blessing to see my daughter."

Chu Ran didn't care much about men and women, because she knew that she couldn't win no matter what.

"This is what I should do, and I have to thank His Majesty for responding in time. Otherwise, it would be too late when I arrived." Wu Mi said.

Chu Ran nodded and said, "But no matter what, I still have to thank the Queen."

"I'm glad that Concubine Jing is okay." Wu Mi smiled and said, "It's so late, you should be hungry, I'll ask someone to get you some food."

"Thank you, Queen."

Wu Mi had just finished giving instructions.

A female official walked in quickly and said softly, "Queen, Concubine Jing, the emperor is here."

Wu Mi and Chu Ran's jade faces were both filled with joy.

Wu Mi was about to get up to greet her when Chen Mo came in. Seeing Chu Ran wake up, she couldn't hide her joy in her voice: "Jing Fei, you're awake."

Chen Mo nodded to Wu Mi's gesture, then quickly came to the couch and sat down, holding Chu Ran's slender hand, and said with heartache: "How do you feel?"

"With the Queen taking care of me, I'm fine." Chu Ran looked at the baby girl and said: "Your Majesty, please give our daughter a name."

"Hmm" Chen Mo racked his brains and thought about it, and said: "How about Huai'an? She has also been through the gates of death. I hope she will be safe in the future."

"Huai'an?" Chu Ran read it and said: "The meaning is good, but it sounds like a boy's name."

"It sounds like a boy's name." Chen Mo looked at Chu Ran's pale face, and there was really no other idea. He turned his eyes to Wu Mi, hoping that she could think of it together.

As a result, Wu Mi really thought of a good name.

"How about Le'an? Le means happiness and joy, and An means peace and safety, and it also sounds like a girl's name." Wu Mi smiled.

"Le Le'an." Chu Ran read it several times again, his eyes lit up, and he was very satisfied. He said to Chen Mo: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Chen Mo nodded and said: "Excellent."

"Le'an, Chen Le'an." Chu Ran looked at the baby girl with a big smile.

Maybe the sound of talking disturbed Chen Le'an. After Chen Le'an woke up, she burst into tears.

Chu Ran was too weak to move, so Chen Mo and Wu Mi took over in a hurry and hugged her to coax her.

After finally coaxing her to sleep, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. The palace was quiet and warm.

…

A few days later.

Chen Mo selected several good girls and asked them to bring them to Chang En for selection.

Chen Mo did not expect that the girl Chang En finally chose was Zhang Zhu, the daughter of Zhang He.

Zhang Zhu was more or less affected by the matter of Dai Tu.

Although Chen Mo promised to help Zhang He find a new husband.

But any ministers in the capital with a little status, when they learned that Zhang Zhu and Dai Tu had been engaged, even if Zhang Zhu was still a virgin, still looked down on Zhang Zhu.

Chen Mo could not force them to do anything and designate one of them to marry.

Even if they got married, they would not be able to go to the end.

So the matter of Zhang Zhu was delayed.

Chen Mo asked someone to let Chang En see Zhang Zhu and other good girls, just to try it out, but Chang En really liked them.

Chen Mo found Chang En and told him about Zhang Zhu's situation, saying that it was not too late for him to regret it, otherwise he would have no chance after the matter was settled.

Chang En hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "She's fine."

Chen Mo knew that Chang En really liked Zhang Zhu.

This was a good thing for Chen Mo.

Because it meant that Zhang Zhu's problem was solved.

Chen Mo also had an explanation to Zhang He.

The son-in-law of a martial artist in the supernatural realm was a thousand times better than the previous Dai Tu.

Chen Mo was very happy and planned to personally grant the marriage to the two.

…

On the other side.

Zhang He was also very happy to know that his daughter was favored by Chang En, and he was almost excited.

Not to mention Chang En's own cultivation, judging from the appointment of Chang En by His Majesty a few days ago, this is definitely a rising star.

The Zhang family has climbed up the "high branch". (End of this chapter)
