Chapter 337 Genetics
Pang Cheng followed Yu Li and the others back to the capital, and was first taken to the Regent's Palace to thank the prince and princess for their kindness. Luo Li sent Mu Xiu to take him to the Big Foot Women's Army camp to reunite with his family.
The mother and her two sons hugged each other and cried bitterly. Mother Pang learned that her son who had been on the run was found by the children around the princess, and that her son's case was closed and his household registration was restored. She was so grateful that she bowed repeatedly in the direction of the Regent's Palace to express her gratitude.
Pang Cheng visited the barracks of the Big Foot Women's Army Corps and saw the female soldiers training hard on the training ground. He asked the girl with envy, "Girl, if I want to join the army, can I join your team?"
Pang Ying couldn't help laughing, "Brother, we are the Big Foot Women's Army. Although you have Big Foot, you are not a woman, so we won't accept you."
Seeing Pang Cheng's disappointed expression, Mulan said, "Brother Pang, if you want to join the army, you can go to the Moyun Cavalry Camp. The prince will definitely accept you."
Pang Ying's eyes lit up, and he encouraged his elder brother, "That's right! Brother, you are extremely strong and skilled in martial arts. With some formal training, you will definitely be a fierce general. The prince loves talents and will definitely accept you."
"Okay! I'll go to the Moyun Cavalry Camp tomorrow and give it a try. With your little sister's reputation as the princess of your regiment, the prince will probably accept me as a soldier." Pang Cheng immediately made up his mind. ...
The stumbling blocks on the road to the implementation of the new policy reforms have been removed one by one. Although there are still undercurrents, they can no longer hinder the general trend.
The prairie fire of the New Deal reforms swept all the way south from Western Shu and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
The border was stable, and the Liao Kingdom, whose army of nearly 100,000 had been wiped out, no longer had the ambition to expand its territory to the south. They would be thankful that they were not invaded and destroyed by the Song Dynasty.
Yang Yanzhao had been awarded the title of Third Rank Champion General for his outstanding military exploits. There was no fighting at the border, so the emperor issued an imperial decree to transfer Yang Yanzhao back to Beijing to marry the princess.
When the people in the capital learned about this marriage, they talked about it. Some envied General Yang for becoming a royal relative, while others admired the beautiful and gentle Princess Yongqing.
There were also those who sighed and lamented that General Yang was the bravest of the three armies and had made great military achievements, but because of his marriage to the princess, he became a prince consort who had a reputation and status but no real power. It was such a pity.
After the grand wedding of Princess Yongqing and General Yang, the common people who were discussing the wedding scene learned that although Yang Yanzhao had become the son-in-law of the emperor, the emperor had granted him the right to still hold military power and lead troops into battle. This unprecedented news set off another wave of heated discussions in the capital.
This decision broke precedent, and all the civil and military officials in the court knew that it was the intention of the regent. Some worried whether it would lead to the monopoly of power by the relatives of the emperor, while others secretly praised the regent for his wisdom, confidence, broad-mindedness, and vision.
After hearing these discussions, Luo Li and Zhao Defang joked, "Zhao Defang, if there is a monopoly of power by foreign relatives in any dynasty in the future, the literati will definitely put the hat of the initiator on your head, and it will be recorded in the history books and passed down through the ages."
Zhao Defang, who was playing a puppet game of two armies fighting each other with his son, said indifferently, "I have never cared about the false reputation in the future. Let them say whatever they want."
"Daddy, daddy..." Lin'er grabbed a wooden horse, stuffed it under his butt and rode on it. The small wooden horse could not bear the weight of his small butt, and he was so anxious that he called for daddy for help.
Zhao Defang immediately smiled, "Li'er, my son loves riding horses. When your Night-Shining Jade Lion gives birth to a foal, I'll give it to my son to ride."
Thinking of the pregnant BMW, Luo Li also looked forward to the future appearance of the foal. "The foal born from the mating of Wuyun Gaixue and Yezhao Yushizi, will it take after the father or the mother?"
The maid Yingchun was amused by the princess and smiled secretly. When the prince wanted to mate his BMW Wuyun Gaixue with the princess's BMW Yezhao Yushizi, the princess insisted on holding a marriage ceremony for the two horses before letting the shadow guard take them away.
Zhao Defang picked up his son and said, "Whether he takes after his mother or his father, he will be an extraordinary and handsome colt. Just look at the son we have."
Luo Li laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter. She explained it with scientific knowledge, "Good genes! The genes of parents determine whether the next generation will be excellent or not."
Yingchun thought hard about the parents and children she knew, and said in agreement, "It's true! People always say that a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes.
Children whose parents are handsome are also handsome, and children whose parents are ugly are also ugly. Our young master gave birth to a handsome man, and Ruhua’s child will not be ugly. "
Banxia asked leisurely, "Yingchun, what do you think the child born by Shen Qiu and Pang Ying will look like?"
Yingchun chuckled. She really couldn't imagine this.
Luo Li smiled and explained their doubts, "Most of the time, daughters take after their fathers and sons take after their mothers. It would be best if Pang Ying and Shen Qiu's child combined the good genes of both parents, with the height taking after Pang Ying and the appearance taking after Shen Qiu."
The two maids were amused and laughed out loud. The young master Zhao Wubing didn't understand what was going on. He looked at the two maids with his big black eyes and also laughed out loud.
Princess Yongqing got married, and the Empress Dowager Song became more and more lonely in the palace. Although her daughter-in-law, the Empress Dowager Zhaoning, often went to chat with her, the Empress Dowager was still not happy and was sickly and listless every day.
Someone leaked the message to Luo Li, and she then remembered that she had forgotten to fulfill her promise to take her mother out of the palace after Yongqing's wedding.
He quickly carried his son into the carriage and entered the palace. He said hello to the Emperor and Regent Zhao Defang, and went to the Cining Palace to personally pick up his mother from the palace to go home and stay for a few days.
The moment she sat in the carriage holding her grandson, Empress Dowager Song was in a happy mood, with a smile from the heart on her brows, eyes and lips.
"Li'er, isn't it said that if a person is in a good mood, he will be in good health? When the queen mother held her grandson in her arms and sat in the carriage to leave the palace, her body felt much more relaxed because of her good mood."
Luo Li could imagine the miserable days that the Grand Empress Dowager had endured in the palace over the years. When she first met Queen Song, her brows were filled with unconcealable melancholy. She was definitely a patient with depression.
Ever since the first time she, who was already the Empress Dowager, was taken out of the palace and stayed in the hot spring villa for a few days, she felt very happy. She no longer had that dull and depressed look on her face. She became lively and energetic.
"Mother, how about you not return to the palace in the future? Just live in the Regent's Palace, where you can see your son and daughter-in-law every day and enjoy the happiness of playing with your grandchildren. Is that okay?"
The Empress Dowager Song was very happy about this, but what about the royal rules?
Never mind, haven’t Defang and Li’er violated the royal rules enough?
"Li'er, then go talk to the emperor and see if he agrees."
Luo Li patted her chest and said, "Mother, I will take care of this matter. I will make sure you can do as you wish."
