Chapter 5 [Secluded Palace]

The autumn rain in the county capital continued, and the last green leaf of Lechang was also crumbling in the wind and rain. Standing in front of the window, the prince carefully reached out to touch the green leaves on the dead branches outside the warm pavilion, and the water droplets slid down his slender fingers.

"Your Highness, if the rain continues like this, the north will definitely be flooded. Concubine Jiang Guifei has already asked Prince Mu to inspect Shuofang. ”

The appearance of a shadow-like existence behind him interrupted the prince's thoughts, and with a pause in his fingers, the leaves fell scattered,

"A blind leaf,"

There was no trace of greenery outside the window, and the prince smiled self-deprecatingly,

"Father, can you play it?" the warm jade voice carried a natural coercion.

No wonder even with a glance, Jiang Guifei was still afraid of His Royal Highness, Ying Wei thought to himself, and replied more respectfully:

His Majesty did not reply, and Prince Mu is still in the capital. ”

The prince stroked the scar on his right eyelid and put on a half-bronze puppet mask.

"So... Stand down, pass on the valley summer to serve and change clothes, and the palace wants to meet the saint. ”

Comb the bun, wear a purple official uniform, fold the scarf with soap yarn, and pass the rhino gold and jade belt, the prince is in the Qinzheng Palace, and the Dayong Emperor who is reviewing the chapter personally went to the palace to help him,

"Why do you have to come to see your father today, I haven't seen you come to the palace for more than a month, but Fu Yin is busy with errands and forgets your father?"

"Your Majesty is blessed. The retainers have something to ask for. ”

The prince bowed again, slightly avoided the emperor's elbow hand, and got up with a gesture, others seemed to be helped up by the saint, and only the two parties knew the embarrassment.

The old emperor sighed softly, he and the only child of his wife who died early still complained about him, right? Unconsciously reached out to touch the mask on the prince's right eye, and when he saw the prince's head slightly sideways, he stopped his movements, and patted the prince's shoulder with his outstretched hand, and said gently:

"What do you ask for? As long as it is not for the stars and the moon in the sky, they will allow you. ”

The prince was still humble, his thin lips were pursed on his exposed face, his eyes were lowered, and his eyelashes cast a cloudy cloud, covering the brilliance in his eyes.

"My son is willing to lead the order to inspect the floods in the north, and ask Your Majesty to fulfill it. ”

Emperor Dayong was stunned, a few days ago, Jiang Guifei just asked for Qian'er to inspect, and she was worried about how to refuse, how could Chen'er also intend to go...

The flooding in the north will be a foregone conclusion, and Shuofang County has begun to deal with it, and the inspection of this matter is very beneficial and popular with the people. Qian'er is already a prince and can't enter again; Jiang Guifei is already in charge of the harem and can't be crowned; the Jiang family has produced a lot of powerful ministers in recent years, and they must be suppressed, and then send this to Qian'er for a reward, the Jiang family's relatives are afraid that the power is monstrous, so naturally they can't.

I originally intended to send the children of the family to go on a trip, even if the reward was to do it for an idle official, but now Chen'er asked for his life to go, as the emperor, he must allow this matter, but the concubine is indispensable to some entanglement.

Although Emperor Dayong had a headache how to deal with Jiang Guifei, he still lovingly asked the prince at this time:

"Do you have the reward you want when you return to Beijing?"

The emperor's questioning was to show the spirit of Corporal Jingxian, but it was by no means really asking for something to give.

Of course, the prince understood this principle, and did not let the saint perform the drama of fatherly love like a mountain, so he bowed to himself and said:

"The sons and daughters have little need, and it is a gift to be able to benefit the people and share the worries of His Majesty. ”

Looking at the well-behaved prince, Emperor Dayong felt a lot of feelings. He, the eldest man, is as broad-minded as his mother Queen Xiao, and he only follows Empress Xiao indifferently, lacking the power and calculation that the emperor should have, and he will not operate like Erlang to please himself since he was a child, and he is even more escaping from the world after a glance.

Then the saint directly planned to edict the prince to serve as the supervisor of the imperial history, and the right attendant of the Ministry of Works accompanied him. When the prime ministers of the three provinces learned of this, the prince had already set off for Shuofang County overnight.

Zeqing Palace, Jiang Guifei panted and closed her eyes and fell on the couch of the beautiful woman with red wood inlaid with marble, and Nan Xun, who was already Shangyi, was waiting on the side with warm fresh milk, the room was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

After a while, Jiang Guifei's breath slowed down slightly, and she raised her hand slightly to beckon, and Nan Xun immediately stepped forward to serve and drink. took two sips, but Jiang Guifei was full of tears. Nan Xun glared back, and the palace people with different expressions retreated in recognition of each other.

The years have not left any traces on the face of this pampered woman, and the more years are not confused, the more they cry, the pear blossoms are still raining, and they are moving, but the charm of the mature woman cannot be erased. The corners of her lips hooked, and Jiang Guifei sneered:

"Xiao Xiuying, heh, obviously you have already seen the king of Hades, but you still press me. When she was alive, she was on my side, she was a wife and I was a concubine, and when she died, her son was still the prince, and she could rob Qian'er of her errand. Xiao Xiuying has something that I can't compare to Jiang Qianlan, why is the best of the best is hers, only when she dies can I have a place. ”

Jiang Guifei cried to herself, extremely aggrieved and lonely, and suddenly clapped her hands excitedly and shouted:

"Hehehe, yes, she's dead, but I'm still alive, what if she lives well? I can send her to the west and reunite their mother and son there!"

Nan Xun knew that Jiang Guifei was angry, and she didn't hesitate to say the secret of the harem, fortunately, she scattered all the palace people, but she still cautiously turned around and looked around, you must know that the wall has ears, and if you are careless in this harem that is walking on thin ice, you will lose everything.

"That's what the mother said. Now in the palace, you are the most noble woman under the Queen Mother, and Your Majesty loves you, which can be compared to the first queen. ”

Nan Xun flattered him, but unexpectedly a slap came, ignoring the hot pain on the right side of his face, Nan Xun knelt and kowtowed,

"Mother is angry. ”

Jiang Guifei changed her face, picked up Nan Xun's chin with her fingers, twisted her face with a smile and said:

"The Queen Mother, that old pious woman, if you don't say it, I forgot about her, if she hadn't instigated it at the beginning, the position of the crown prince would not have been so easy to decide. He even wanted to rely on his niece to bind the East Palace and the Shen family, heh, didn't Shen Zhiwei disobey the Queen Mother for the sake of his career, and took refuge in Qian'er? Hahaha, the Shen family is only in the palm of my hand now. ”

Suddenly, he patted the back of Nan Xun's head in a good mood,

"If the Queen Mother has always known each other like she is now, living in seclusion in the deep palace and not asking about the world, I can also let her spend her old age in peace. As for the first honor of the Queen Mother, this harem, this palace is the most noble!"

Nan Xun was in tears, looking at Jiang Guifei, who was crazy in words, and felt afraid.

In the end, the latter position made this noble lady lose her former delicateness, hysterical like a market shrew.

Nan Xun is not afraid of Jiang Guifei, who is vicious and greedy for power, she is only afraid of Jiang Guifei, who is extremely conceited, she is afraid that she will drag herself into the abyss because of her master's unobstructed mouth and arrogance.

Jiang Guifei is arrogant, but Nan Xun can't help but remind Jiang Guifei that this country is still surnamed Yao, after all, Jiang Guifei is in charge of her life and death. But she can't say it too thoroughly, if she falls out of favor, she will be a dry bone in this cannibalistic palace.

Nan Xun said cautiously: "Won't Niangniang go to Your Majesty's place? Now that the errand is given to the crown prince, Your Majesty will definitely double the compensation for Niangniang." ”

Jiang Guifei thought about it for a while, and felt that it was an opportunity, if she could coax the saint to seal herself, it would be the best, and hurriedly asked Nan Xun to sort out her makeup, and the palace people served and changed her clothes.

The figure on the alder beam in the hall flashed, and Jiang Guifei and Nan Xun were unaware.
