Chapter Ninety-Three: There is a change in the East Palace
Ji Yao walked back to Changfu with a stomach full of questions, and to her shock, the carriage of the East Palace actually stopped at the gate of Changfu, and the groom was anxiously pacing back and forth in front of the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Is your young lady really not in the house? Then when will she come back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting. ”
"The eldest lady is really not in the house, this ...... We can't help it......" The subordinate who guarded the door looked very embarrassed, his embarrassed eyes flashed, and he caught a glimpse of Ji Yao walking slowly, and shouted, "Miss, you are back! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sending someone to find Miss!"
Hearing this, the groom turned around quickly, and when he finally saw the person he was looking for, he relieved his nervousness and said hurriedly: "Miss Chang hurry up and get into the carriage, the little one has been out for almost an hour, and if you don't go back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should punish the little one." ”
Although Ji Yao didn't know what the prince's idea was, he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ...... with you."
"Don't go!"
The high voice smashed from behind, Ji Yao looked sideways, and saw that it was Chang Jiyang, who had a rare straight face, couldn't help but laugh and said: "Big brother, I'll go back as soon as I go, you don't have to worry about my body, I'm almost fine." ”
Chang Jiyang heard that she was trying her best to round the field for herself, but she didn't want her to go to the East Palace alone, so she hurriedly pulled her to the side and whispered: "Silly girl, I just met His Royal Highness King Ding, His Royal Highness said that the prince is very cunning, and most of this illness is pretended, and he is ......"
When he said this, he cautiously glanced at the groom who was standing not far away, and lowered his voice again: "Moreover, the crown prince is looking for a suitable crown princess, what good can you do in the past at this time?"
"Crown Princess?" Ji Yao was very curious when she heard these words, and couldn't help but make her voice louder, seeing Chang Jiyang frowning, she hurriedly withdrew her happy expression, and said seriously, "The eldest brother is an official in the court, and anyone who offends the East Palace should offend him, even if the king has the ability...... But at present, it's not that nothing has been accomplished? If the eldest brother stands in line early, the eldest brother will be a disaster to me and the Chang family. ”
"I know, I know, His Royal Highness King Ding also told me so, I will pay attention, but this time I say nothing to let you go to the East Palace to wade in this troubled water. It's not like you don't know the prince, I think His Royal Highness is much better than the prince......"
While speaking, Ji Yao looked him up and down several times with a pair of eyes, listening to him say His Royal Highness King Ding, this is really determined to follow King Ding, it is really strange.
"General Chang, Miss Chang, the hour is not early, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting, this ......"
The groom really couldn't wait, so he opened his mouth in a hurry, Ji Yao took advantage of Chang Jiyang's still chattering, quickly turned around and walked towards the groom, and said loudly: "Hurry up, don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait for a long time!"
Without waiting for Chang Ji Yang to object, Ji Yao had already climbed into the carriage, and finally poked out a celebratory head and waved at him.
The carriage suddenly shook, so frightened that Ji Yao hurriedly retracted his head, and muttered to himself in his heart, this groom is really in a hurry, even if he has that meaning, he won't be so anxious.
Could it be that you can still run?
Thinking of this, Ji Yao's heart was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but gasp, if he had an accident in the East Palace, then even the eldest brother who was a general would only be afraid that he would not be able to get half an explanation, but it would affect the entire Changfu.
It is not difficult for a prince of the East Palace to kill a person unknowingly.
Ji Yao regretted it in his heart at the moment, but the carriage was all on, and looking at the horseman's anxious appearance, I was afraid that it would be impossible to find an excuse to let him stop, and this time he could only resign himself to fate.
However, after a stick of incense, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Ji Yao was about to lift the curtain to take a look, when the horseman's respectful voice came from outside: "Miss Chang, it's here." ”
Ji Yao lifted the curtain in disbelief and saw that the word East Palace was really engraved on the familiar palace gate in front of her, and the old man who had been waiting in front of the palace gate for a long time greeted him with a happy face: "Miss Chang, please, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for us in the main hall." ”
Perhaps because he thought that the prince had a ghost in his heart, Ji Yao always felt that walking under this red wall, the atmosphere around him was so gloomy.
"Miss Chang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you inside. The old man pulled up a smiling smile, and pointed to the closed Zhumen with his withered hand.
Ji Yao secretly gritted her teeth and pushed open the door of the main hall, to her surprise, in addition to the prince, there was still the queen sitting in this hall.
Looking at the two of them looking directly at her, her spine inevitably felt cold, and after a little calm, she stepped forward and saluted: "The people's daughter meets the queen mother, and meets His Royal Highness the prince." ”
The expected word "exemption" did not come for a long time, Ji Yao maintained a posture of owe and did not dare to move, Yu Guang was about to take a look, the queen had slowly spoke: "Get up, this palace knows that you have a great relationship with the prince, so you don't have to be so formal." ”
"Huh?"
Ji Yao didn't quite understand what the queen meant, and her heart couldn't help but tighten when she saw her slightly smiling eyes, and turned her head to look at the prince, only to see that he also looked like this, which could be said to be the same as the queen.
"Queen Mother, Ji Yao is very smart, and she knows the overall situation and knows how to plan, sometimes I am ashamed of myself as a man. The rumored seriously ill prince was full of joy at the corners of his eyebrows at the moment, and he looked at Ji Yao from time to time while talking, as if he was talking about a commodity with someone.
When the queen heard this, she really glanced at her twice, and said silently: "It's really good, this palace thinks it's much better than Wu Qi'er." ”
Ji Yao raised her eyes in amazement, but she didn't expect that it was really as her eldest brother said, the prince wanted to find a new crown princess, and what was even more ruthless was that the prince actually pulled the queen in.
In this way, she wants to refuse, but I am afraid that it will be a difficult thing to compare, Ji Yao has not yet figured out how to refuse, the queen has already gotten up, and she has the intention of leaving.
"Queen Mother, Son Sends ......"
The crown prince also got up, but saw that the queen shook her head slightly, but her eyes fell on Ji Yao's face: "No need, you do what you have to do, this palace ...... Waiting for the good news. ”
Ji Yao's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what to do to get out smoothly without offending the East Palace or offending the queen, so she even forgot to say things like sending the queen off.
"Ji Yao, don't stand stupidly, sit down. The prince smiled at her, and the whole person had the intimacy of a good old man.
Ji Yao twitched the corners of her mouth, but she sat down slowly, and before she could sit down, the prince's words had already reached her ears in a hurry: "Ji Yao, you are so smart, you should understand the meaning of this king and the queen mother, right?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Ji Yao felt that it was inappropriate to do this, so the Crown Princess had an accident......"
Ji Yao was only halfway through his words, and the prince waved his hand impatiently, looked at her with a torch, and said cautiously: "This king also knows that he is in such a hurry, and it is inevitable that he will be tongue-in-law, but you don't know that Shen Qingzhi, this old horseman, has a ghost idea for no reason, and he actually plans to ask his father and the emperor to let you be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family!"
"What...... The Shen family?"
Ji Yao looked at the prince in disbelief, this Shen family had never had anything to do with the Chang family, how could he marry the Chang family for no reason? This is really strange.
And as far as she knows, the Shen family has never participated in any party disputes, and stands neutral in the court, although the power is dominant, but it is also deeply favored by the emperor, such a knighted general's mansion actually plans to recruit a commoner's daughter as a daughter-in-law, which is too incredible.
