Chapter 560 Taking over the Position of Commander of the Imperial Guards

On the first day when the empress and the regent returned, the Dazheng Palace was undoubtedly bustling.

It was like the New Year.

The table was filled with a variety of dishes, delicious and colorful.

There were also many people at the table, including Rong Yu and Nan Xi, the eldest princess, Xuanyuan Qi and Chu Hongyi, and Lin Jia who was called to eat together after settling down.

The topics discussed at the table were all lighthearted and interesting.

"Qier, the one who felt the most wronged during your absence was Qi'er." The eldest princess laughed jokingly, teasing Xuanyuan Qi who was alone in the empty room with a lot of resentment, "You were forced to live alone with your lovely wife not long after your marriage. You must have accumulated a lot of emotions in your heart, Qi'er, do you want to take this opportunity to complain?"

Xuanyuan Qi raised his head silently.

He had waited for several months, and finally waited for the day when he could enter the palace to take his wife and children back home, so he was particularly happy today.

The annoyance of being annoyed by the Wei Wang family during the New Year holidays, and the resentment and dissatisfaction of living apart from Hongyi finally disappeared.

But when the princess mentioned it, he suddenly felt that the imperial court meal in his mouth was not delicious.

Accusation?

Xuanyuan Qi quietly looked at a certain regent who was concentrating on feeding His Majesty, and quickly retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Auntie, you are joking. It is the duty of a minister to share the worries and difficulties of the king. How can I be dissatisfied?"

Joke.

Accusation in front of the regent?

He finally waited for this gentleman to come back and reunite with the couple in red. What if the regent was dissatisfied after the accusation and separated them for a few months, would he jump into the river to commit suicide?

No matter how dissatisfied he was, it was before today, and there was no need to mention it again.

It would not do him any good to mention it.

How can you not bow your head when you are under the eaves?

Besides, the regent had just returned to the palace and had to deal with the mess that Xuanyuan Yan had made. When he entered the palace just now, he heard that Commander Yang had been dealt with. The regent was probably not in a very good mood at the moment.

Even if he was crazy, he would not run into the hands of the King of Hell at this time.

"Duty?" The princess looked at Chu Hongyi with a half-smile, "Hongyi, how sincere do you think your husband is in this sentence?"

Just as Chu Hongyi was about to speak, a crispy chicken leg was put into her bowl.

Silently turning her head to look at Xuanyuan Qi, Chu Hongyi wanted to remind him that this was a meal with Her Majesty the Queen, and he had to know the rules when eating, and he couldn't be as casual as in the palace.

But seeing that Xuanyuan Qi didn't seem to have any scruples, he said gently: "You've worked hard during this period, eat a chicken leg to replenish your body."

Chu Hongyi could only be speechless for a while.

But the princess couldn't help but answer the question, she quickly said: "Aqi has always been very sincere."

It was true that he was resentful and dissatisfied before, and it was also true that he was in a good mood now.

It was true that he dared to complain in his heart, and it was also true that he didn't dare to accuse him in person.

So Chu Hongyi felt that Xuanyuan Qi was indeed a very sincere person.

"My wife still understands me." Xuanyuan Qi couldn't help but pick up another piece of fresh fish for her, "Eat more."

The corner of the princess' mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

As expected, the pot should be matched with the lid.

Chu Hongyi and Xuanyuan Qi are really a perfect match.

Lin Jia sat on one side with the princess, occasionally looking at Rong Yu who was feeding the empress in the first seat, and then looked at Xuanyuan Qi who was as beautiful as a flower and caring for his wife. For a moment, he felt that he seemed to have become a superfluous person again.

Fortunately, there was still the princess.

Lin Jia lowered his head silently, no longer watching others show their affection like a self-torture.

"If you really have dissatisfaction, you can raise it." Nan Xi smiled gently, and her beautiful and delicate eyebrows were calm and composed. "Rong Yu loves the people like his own children, and has a broad mind. He will consider the demands of the ministers again and again and try to meet them."

Xuanyuan Qi's expression was just like this.

Loving the people like his own children, and having a broad mind?

As expected, the regent in the eyes of his cousin is flawless.

Xuanyuan Qi coughed lightly and put down his chopsticks: "I am not dissatisfied, but I have a request. I hope that Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent can show some grace."

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere at the moment and Chu Hongyi's meritorious service in protecting the little prince, Xuanyuan Qi felt that it was okay to make some small requests at the right time.

Nan Xi raised an eyebrow: "What request?"

"There are not many things in the court for the time being. The court in Dongling is calm, and the foreign countries have temporarily settled down. I wonder if I can let Hongyi stay in the palace to rest for a while?"

Nan Xi heard this, but shook her head slowly: "This is probably not possible."

Xuanyuan Qi's face changed.

Nan Xi smiled lightly: "Chu Hongyi, listen to the order."

Chu Hongyi was slightly stunned, then stood up neatly and knelt on one knee: "I am here."

Xuanyuan Qi also stood up and knelt.

"Starting tomorrow, you will take over the position of the commander of the imperial guards and serve me from now on." Nan Xi said in a light tone, "However, in view of your meritorious service in guarding the Dazheng Palace this time, I will grant you a three-day holiday to rest well in the mansion, and enter the palace to accompany the emperor in half a month. You need to be on duty for three hours every day. Do you understand?"

When this imperial decree came out, Xuanyuan Qi and Chu Hongyi were almost stunned at the same time.

Is this an unexpected surprise?

Enter the palace to accompany the emperor and take charge of the imperial guards?

And you only need to be on duty for three hours every day?

This...

is simply a good thing that you can't even dream of.

Chu Hongyi was the first to come back to her senses and bowed her head to thank him: "I accept the decree and thank your majesty for your grace."

Xuanyuan Qi thought to himself, could it be that the regent also felt that it was unkind to separate the newlyweds, and felt guilty, so he gave them such compensation?

The position of the commander of the imperial guards is simply too suitable for Chu Hongyi.

Chu Hongyi originally held military power, but she was a woman after all, and now that she had a child, her focus would mostly be on the family. Military generals needed to stay in the barracks all year round. If there was a war at the border, they had no choice but to lead the troops.

Although Xuanyuan Qi unconditionally supported his wife to soar, emotionally speaking, it was naturally a happy thing for the family of three to stay together often, so holding the power of the imperial guards was an unexpected surprise for Chu Hongyi and Xuanyuan Qi.

Not only did the power not decrease, but it was easier than when she led the troops before.

And most importantly, Her Majesty the Queen said that she only needed to be on duty for three hours a day... The distance from the palace to the inner city palace was not far, and the time spent on the road was limited, which meant that Chu Hongyi could stay at home most of the day.

The previous dissatisfaction was completely dissipated from this moment on. Xuanyuan Qi bowed his head sincerely to express his gratitude: "I thank your majesty for your grace, and thank the regent for his grace."

"No need to be polite." Nan Xi smiled faintly, "Get up."

When Xuanyuan Qi stood up, he quietly glanced at Rong Yu. When his eyes touched that cold and noble face, Xuanyuan Qi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Rong Yu did not raise his eyes, or even look at him. He took care of Nan Xi to eat and drink enough, and then he lowered his eyebrows and began to eat. His movements of eating were naturally noble and calm.

However, the more indifferent and calm he was, the more the chill in Xuanyuan Qi's heart slowly fermented, and it went straight to the top of his head.
