Capital.

The news that the crown prince will return has already arrived.

When the crown prince reached the age of forty-four, he finally grew up, took the initiative to apply for disaster relief, and also got things done, which made the emperor very happy.

He is already high in the spring and autumn, the life of sixty sixties has passed, and the time is short, if the prince has been so dim-witted, he will not worry about handing over Nanxia to him; But don't hand it over to him, watch the sons compete for succession, which is also what he doesn't want to see.

Therefore, as early as when the emperor heard that the prince was going back, he was already in charge of the Ministry of Rites to welcome the ceremony.

It's just disaster relief, this is the prince's duty, and the emperor is already happy to be like this, as if what he did was not disaster relief, but a triumphant return on the battlefield.

It can be seen that the previous prince was not successful, and in the eyes of the emperor, he was already overjoyed just by doing his duty. Expectations for him are really not high.

The Ministry of Rites knew the emperor's intentions and was also interested in handling this matter.

However, this matter, as of yesterday.

Hurry up and hurry, and finally arrived at the capital on the day when the prince returned to Beijing, at the gate of the city, Huangfu Yuxuan said: "Go around to the west gate." I will greet my father personally! ”

Fei Liang said: "Son, after the emperor received the excerpt from His Royal Highness the Prince, he was very happy, and he has ordered the good students of the Ministry of Rites to handle the greeting matters, but I am afraid that most of the courtiers have gone to the West Gate to greet him, so we have to go and occupy a good position as soon as possible." ”

This made Huangfu Yuxuan very happy, that's right, he just wanted to go to occupy a good position early, so he didn't enter the city, and went directly to the west gate. It is of great significance for my father to accomplish this. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes in the next step and doesn't cause the emperor's grandfather to be angry, the crown prince's position will be stable. As for cockfighting, spending time drinking, these are all trifles.

The horses galloped, and it only took two quarters of an hour for Huangfu Yuxuan and the two of them to rush to the West City Gate.

The west gate is wide open, and there are flags fluttering to welcome the honorable ceremony of the heroes, red, green, yellow, and orange...... Facing the wind, it looks extraordinarily good.

However, the place where the courtiers were supposed to stand to greet them was somewhat empty, because there was no one there.

Not even from the Ministry of Rites.

Even for the smallest standard of greeting ceremony, someone from the Ministry of Rites has to come.

Even if Duan Hongyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, didn't come, the left and right attendants didn't even arrive.

Huangfu Yuxuan's eyes were deep, and his gaze became gloomy and cold. The handsome eyebrows and eyes were slightly distorted by the gloomy, and anger burned in his eyes.

These people, such a big guts, even if they are ordinary courtiers, if they do such an errand, the Ministry of Rites will come out to greet them, not to mention that the father is the crown prince?

Could it be that these people saw that their father had become more and more discouraged by the sacred heart of the emperor's grandfather recently, and the emperor's grandfather valued King Zhuang and King Fence more much, and they also praised the high and low?

At this moment, Fei Liang didn't dare to say a word.

He is the second housekeeper of Huangfu Yuxuan's mansion, mainly responsible for collecting news in the capital, as well as dealing with some trivial matters, and his identity is clear. He knew that Childe had other people who were more important to deal with more important things, but those people needed to come forward in the dark, so they could use him.

When he left Beijing, there was a lot of joy in the capital, all because the prince's disaster relief errand was done beautifully, and the Sacred Heart was happy.

Something must have happened in between.

However, he left Beijing for a few days, and even when he came back this time, he didn't have time to ask about it with his son. He had no way of knowing what had happened in the past few days.

Looking at Huangfu Yuxuan's gloomy face, he felt uneasy in his heart. finally said in a low voice: "Childe, things are a little abnormal, why don't you wait for the villain to inquire about the news first?" ”

"Wait!" Huangfu Yuxuan's face was expressionless.

There is no need for Fei Liang to say, of course he also knows that something has happened, and Fei Liang does not dare to lie, let alone exaggerate. But now it is completely different from what he said, with a few dares from the Ministry of Rites, does the Ministry of Rites dare to disobey the Yang and Yin of the Holy Will?

Fei Liang didn't dare to say any more, so he could only accompany Huangfu Yuxuan to stand at the gate of the city and wait.

As the shadow of the sun shifted, in the distance, I saw the shadow of the prince's car.

Fei Liang greeted the light, blocked his eyes with his hand, squinted his eyes, and said happily: "Childe, His Royal Highness the Prince's car has arrived!" ”

Huangfu Yuxuan didn't hear it, and his face was gloomy.

What about when you arrive? No one came out to greet him, not even the officials of the Ministry of Rites, this matter must be not small. But now he doesn't know what's going on, and he doesn't even have a way to deal with it.

He trusted his father too much and did not send anyone to follow, which was what he regretted the most.

The prince's car is very pompous, and everything is according to the highest specifications of the prince's regulations. This alone made Huangfu Yuxuan want to curse in his heart.

How did my father live to be in his forties, and did he grow up to be a dog? Even if the disaster relief is successful, why should it be so publicized? Be humble and prudent, and he will never learn. The more meritorious, the more low-key it should be. With such fanfare, showing off his might, fortunately there were no courtiers to greet him, otherwise, this is the matter, and it is enough for Yu Shitai to refer to him a few copies.

How could he have such a stupid father?

Huangfu Yuxuan's face was pale, his eyes exuded a cold light, and even the air around him became a little colder.

The carriage was getting closer, and the prince's carriage was a four-horse cart, so the originally wide road was crowded a little, and the prince's entourage saw Huangfu Yuxuan, approached the prince's carriage window and whispered something.

The curtain of the prince's car was lifted, revealing a white and round face. The pampered prince had no look of being in a hurry on his face. Also, such a wide carriage, the carriage has good wine, good tea, food and snacks, covered with brocade, and soft cushions on the walls of the carriage, whether it is sitting or leaning, leaning or lying, it is extremely comfortable.

Where is this carriage? It's clearly a moving palace.

What made Huangfu Yuxuan almost grit his teeth was that the moment the curtain of the car opened slightly, he saw that there was a beautiful woman leaning on the prince's lap.

The prince is so sexy, this is not a secret in the court.

For this reason, the imperial grandfather does not know how many times he has been reprimanded.

But is this his time to be? He's going for disaster relief!

There was a flame burning in Huangfu Yuxuan's heart, but the ceremony could not be abolished, he turned over and dismounted, walked to the front of the carriage, and bowed down to salute: "The child greets his father!" My father worked hard all the way to disaster relief! ”

Fei Liang had already knelt down on the side.

The prince's lazy and casual voice came: "Xuan'er, is it you?" Why is it just you? ”

Huangfu Yuxuan then remembered that it was only him, and even his brother Huangfu Hongyi did not come.

Huangfu Hongyi inherited everything about the prince, he was lustful and playful, good wine and greedy cup, he didn't come, Huangfu Yuxuan was not surprised, but he was afraid of where he was drunk, and he didn't even know if his father returned to Beijing today.

However, combined with the fact that all the courtiers did not arrive, is there another reason for the absence of Huangfu Hongyi?
