Chapter Forty-Eight: Jade Ruyi

Yu'er soon came to the East Palace. As soon as the people in the East Palace saw Yu'er, they hurriedly greeted Yu'er, flattered Yu'er, and asked, "Miss Yu'er, I don't know, are you going to the crown princess or to His Royal Highness the crown prince?" ”

Yu'er and Xi smiled and said, "I have been ordered by the queen mother to go to see His Royal Highness the Prince, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?" ”

The palace man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just summoned the minister, and now he is in the big study to approve the folds." I showed the girl the way. ”

Yu'er smiled slightly, and followed the palace man to the prince's big study.

She has been in the palace for so many years, and she knows the rules of the palace the most, so she walks very slowly, leaving enough time for those palace people to report to the prince and give the prince time to think.

Therefore, when she slowly came to the door of the big study of the East Palace, the prince was ready to greet her. She only paused for a moment, and the palace people smiled and said to her, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites the girl in." ”

Yu'er nodded slightly and entered the big study of the East Palace. Bowed in a proper manner. The prince's gentle voice came: "Miss Yu'er doesn't need to be polite. I don't know what the queen's will is? ”

Yu'er stood up slowly, she was used to the courtesy of the prince. She smiled slightly, looked at the prince's beautiful and handsome face, and did not speak, but looked left and right. The movements are elegant, and the amplitude is so small that if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to see it.

But the prince saw it clearly. He said to the people around him, "Go down, all of them." Retreat to the outer court. ”

Those people were busy, and they didn't hesitate at all. Because there are so many such things. Everyone is used to it, and in the palace there are not only princes, everyone has secrets.

It wasn't until these people slowly withdrew that the prince remembered that Yu'er seemed to be dressed up a little more enchanting today. The makeup is not the usual kind of formal makeup, but looks very spiritual, charming, pleasant, and expectant.

For women, the prince feels that he already knows a lot. After all. Now he is the concubine of the East Palace. The concubines are no less than the emperor. He has seen all kinds of women, some beautiful, some dazzling, some delicate. There are bewitching ones. There are daughters of the family. There is a civilian background.

So the prince just noticed the changes in Yu'er today at a glance. In fact, Yu'er is in her thirties this year, and she was only a little bit of a look. After years of washing, there is not much left. To say that this makeup was painted specifically to seduce the prince, the prince really didn't believe it.

There are too many women in this palace who want to be favored by the prince, but they definitely don't include Yu'er. Both of their ages are there. Yu'er is much more than him. Moreover, Yu'er is the queen's confidant, and she is above 10,000 people under one person. Even if you want to be polite. If you are favored and become a concubine, or a concubine, you will not have your current status. Yu'er is such a smart person who has long been very clear. So why is she dressed up like this today?

With doubts, the prince stared at Yu'er tightly. After waiting for the palace gate to close, and after waiting for a while, Yu'er was sure that all the people had exited. She slowly took something out of her arms and respectfully placed it on the prince's bookcase.

When she did this, Yu'er didn't make a sound at all, but her face showed a happy look.

The prince stared at the little jade Ruyi closely. The crystal jade, the smooth carving, so beautiful. But the prince's face was a dark cloud.

This Jade Ruyi Prince Liu Yan remembers it too clearly. This is his biggest secret, a secret between him and Empress Chen. is his wife, the crown princess, his favorite Bai Liangdi, Ma Liangdi doesn't know. is Liu Jingyuan, whom he trusts, and Zhao Chongyi doesn't know.

This secret was that when he was about to marry the crown princess Chen Wenfeng, he was summoned by Empress Chen, who was still Concubine De's mother at the time, and Empress Chen made a deal with him.

Empress Chen promised him that she would do her best to help him ascend to the position of crown prince and remove all obstacles for him. Empress Chen's own strength, and the power of the Chen family behind Empress Chen will help him.

However, Empress Chen asked him to promise one thing. Something that made his heart tremble. It was when he saw this jade Ruyi that he had to cooperate with what Empress Chen was about to do. In exchange for jade Ruyi, it was a golden hook. The little golden hook was placed in the secret mezzanine of the study behind him.

Since then, Empress Chen has kept her promise, helping him cross one pass after another and helping him eliminate one enemy after another. He and Empress Chen should cooperate with each other, step by step, Empress Chen became a concubine from Concubine De, became an imperial concubine, and finally became a queen.

As for him, from a county king, he became a prince, and finally became a prince.

He thought that Empress Chen used this jade Ruyi to ask him to help her ascend to the throne, but when she was sealed, Empress Chen did not take it out.

Later, after his position was stabilized, he thought that this Jade Ruyi Empress Chen would be used after he became the emperor, either to ask for something for Princess Lichuan or for her honor. Whatever it was, he had to say yes.

However, I didn't expect that this jade Ruyi appeared today. It appeared at such a time when the snow was beginning to clear.

He had nothing else to think about, he turned back to the inner chamber, and after a while, he pulled out a small golden hook. The golden hook is shining brightly, and there is a thin pattern on it, which can be seen as a plum blossom pattern.

Yu'er saw the small golden hook in her hand and unconsciously showed a slight smile, but soon, this smile disappeared. Yu'er silently saluted, exited the big study of the East Palace, and walked out of the East Palace without stopping and walked towards the queen's bedroom. There, the queen must have been waiting for her reply beautifully.

The whole process, there was no sound at all. Neither the prince nor Yu'er spoke. Even if someone wants to hear something, it's useless.

However, after Yu'er left, for a long time, the prince kept staring at Yu Ruyi. Although I don't know what the queen is going to do today, it must be an earth-shattering event.

What kind of thing is this? Need to exchange the prince position? If the queen supported the third prince or even the second prince back then, maybe he would not be the one in the position of the crown prince today. However, Empress Chen supported him. It's in exchange for what will happen today.

So what kind of things are worth paying the whole world?

The prince looked at Yu Ruyi, and couldn't help but see the folds on the bookcase. What's been going on in the world lately? The Taoist temple is under construction, and the project is very smooth. The two sisters of Chen Guifei also lived in the Taoist temple with great peace of mind. Although the conditions on Concubine Zhao's side are more difficult, she is also very peaceful. The officials in Jiangnan are also doing their own thing, helping Chen Wenhui recruit people.

There was no movement of the tribes in the northwest. Xiao Chen's overseas territory is under construction in an orderly manner, although there was a heavy snowfall in the capital, but under the double relief of the imperial court and Yangshantang, no one froze to death.

Further south, according to intelligence, Chen Wenhui and his wife have caught up with the princess of southern Xinjiang in Lingnan, and they have also confronted the Lan clan of the six major tribes. However, don't worry, with the ability of Chen Wenhui and his wife, and Zhao Chongyi's experience in leading troops, they will definitely be able to settle this small matter.

Further south, Princess Lichuan has already established herself in Siam and is developing well. It's already thriving. To the northeast, the Chan are trying to consolidate the Goguryeo Peninsula they have acquired. The Bai family in the northwest is calculating how much benefit this season's cotton harvest has brought to them. The Li family and the Wang family in the southwest are also living in a low-key and quiet manner.

Nothing big is happening in the world. What could that be? In the East Palace, the crown princess is in power, and the other four Liangdi are living under the pressure of the crown princess. Although the concubines compete for favor, they are all managed well by the crown princess. Bai Liangdi still hates Wang Liangdi very much.

The Wang family is about to fall, and the banks in the capital and the banks in Jiangnan have been crushed by the Dachu Bank. The Wang family has already left the capital. However, he did not let it go, because the officials in Jiangnan and the capital attacked at the same time and impeached Wang Liangdi's maiden family for several major crimes.

Wang Liangdi was too busy to take care of herself, and faced the princess and Bai Liangdi in the palace to join forces to suppress her. The royal family outside the palace was beheaded by him. The men over the age of fifteen were killed, and the women became the maids, leaving only Jiangnan Wang Zhicheng and his divorced wife Wang Lan and Wang Lan's three children.

In order to appease the government that was shaken by the Wang family, he made a decree to forgive Wang Lan and her three children for not being guilty, and they were still good citizens. This is a lawsuit against the ministers of the imperial court and the Wang family, and the affairs of the Wang family will come here, and they will not be implicated.

Therefore, the imperial court and the East Palace are now very stable.

My father's palace was also very stable, because my father's condition worsened, and the imperial doctor said that there were no days left. Therefore, the palace was gloomy, and those concubines were worried about the future, where did they still have the heart to make trouble.

By the way, the prince suddenly remembered, there was no major event in the palace and outside the palace, between the north and the south of the world. But there is a big event in the palace, and that is the emperor's body. Don't? The prince's face turned pale.

At this moment, he guessed something, in these days in the East Palace, he also bought a lot of people, and also noticed some clues, but because he was an alliance with Queen Chen, he chose to be silent. Now, he's not silent. Because just now he chose to agree.

Liu Yan looked at the little Jade Ruyi again, and his heart was surprisingly not panicked, nor sad. It's just that he didn't know why, and suddenly remembered the mother who had been blurred in his memory. The mother from a humble background, when she was still beautiful, was like a flower withering. In this deep palace, there is no sound, leaving him alone to face the boundless loneliness.

Liu Yan chose to close his lips tightly. (To be continued......)
