At the beginning of May, the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu returned to the capital.

He entered Beijing at night, and he didn't attract much attention at the time, but a few things happened afterwards that made many people have to pay more attention to him.

On the second day after returning to the capital, Xuanyuan Yu, Xuanyuan Che, and Shi Yunqing went to Xue Mansion.

At that time, Xuanyuan Fen's coffin had already been buried. After burning paper and incense in front of Xuanyuan Fen's spirit tablet, Xuanyuan Yu went to the courtyard where Xue Qi was alone.

At that time, in order not to disturb the conversation between the two of them, there was no one left in the room.

But as a result, after Xuanyuan Yu left, Xue Qi's originally scarred body had new injuries. It takes 100 days to break his muscles and bones, and it is estimated that he will need to recuperate on the bed for 100 days.

And after Xuanyuan Che came back this time, he didn't know what he reported to the emperor, but after he left, the emperor summoned the prince.

The father and son talked for a long time in the imperial study, and when the prince came out of it, he hid his face with one hand.

On the way back, an official met the prince, and when he saw this, he was a little strange, and couldn't help but care: "His Royal Highness the prince, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay," Xuanyuan Hao shook his head and said, "It's just that there is a toothache." ”

When he walked over, he accidentally saw the official with half of his face covering his mouth secretly. A toothache can hurt a slap mark, and I really owe it!

Then the prince was rumored to be recuperating in the East Palace and not going to court for the time being.

This doesn't seem to be anything on the surface, but on the other hand, the four princes who have just come back can be described as proud.

First of all, the emperor decreed that Xuanyuan Yu and Xin Shumin would be married on June 18, and gave them the house of a prince in the inner city.

Then, the four princes were praised by the emperor for their courage and resourcefulness because of their merit in exterminating a group of thieves who occupied the mountains in Luzhou.

These may seem ordinary, but in fact they have their own meanings.

The emperor's marriage indirectly supported the marriage between the four princes and the Xin family, making Xuanyuan Yu's backer more stable. And the house given, although it was left by the prince of the previous dynasty, is the closest to the imperial city in the inner city, and it is also the largest and most luxurious mansion.

As for the gang of thieves that Xuanyuan Yu exterminated, it happened to be Prince Xuanyuan Hao's private troops in Lucheng. It was also the team that Lumei and Liu'er's father were in at that time. This time, he was completely exterminated by Xuanyuan Yu and his people.

His own people were damaged, but Xuanyuan Yu's reputation was fulfilled. also gave Xuanyuan Yu that evaluation. The crown prince understood that the emperor was not only a reward for Xuanyuan Yu, but also a warning to himself. Although he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he dared not speak out.

On this day, in the palace of Empress Yin.

Queen Yin and the crown prince also have Yin Zhengde, Yin Quan's father and son, the four of them sat together and talked.

Although Yin Zhengde is responsible for the position of prime minister, he has been recuperating at home due to illness. Rarely go to court.

But during this time, because the prince lost again and again, he had to go back out of the mountain. At least once he arrives in the court, he can suppress the sloppy hearts of many courtiers.

Today, he came over with his old wife to send some things to the queen.

"Prince," Yin Quan looked at Xuanyuan Hao, sighed lightly, and said, "You still have to discuss with us more about what you do in the future, or you won't come to this point." ”

"Yes," Xuanyuan Hao was depressed in his heart, and when he heard him say this, he was even more angry. But he also knew that at this time, there were people who cared about and supported him the most, and it was true that he didn't tell them what he had done before, so he was found out by Xuanyuan Yu.

"Hao'er," Empress Yin saw Xuanyuan Hao's appearance, and knew that he hadn't listened carefully to what they had just said, so she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. I just wanted to reprimand, but was stopped by Yin Zhengde, who was sitting at the top, waving his hand.

"Hao'er," Yin Zhengde coughed lightly and said, "What do you think we should do next?" ”

"Grandfather," Xuanyuan Hao looked up and saw that Yin Zhengde was still smiling, and his originally tense heart relaxed slightly. For this grandfather, who accompanied the emperors of the two dynasties, he was still very respectful. After thinking about it, he said: "Although the current situation looks bad for me, my grandson thinks that my father does not mean to kill me. ”

Seeing Yin Zhengde's encouraging nod, he motioned for himself to continue.

Xuanyuan Hao continued: "I know a little bit about my father's temperament. Although he slapped me a few days ago, it made me feel a little at ease. If my father ignores me, the consequences will be the most serious. ”

"What I said is," Yin Quan nodded and said: "The emperor will be strict with whoever he uses, and the more kind he is to whom, or let it go, that is, he doesn't want to reuse it at all." ”

For example, the second prince and the third prince, the emperor has always been kind and pleasant to them, and rarely spoke harshly. It is estimated that as long as he doesn't violate his bottom line, he won't even care about them.

Yin Zhengde hummed lightly and said: "Hao'er, the fourth prince entered the palace that day to face the saint, and it is said that the emperor was expressionless throughout the whole process. Later, when the four princes left, it seemed that there were still things left that had not been presented. ”

The prince didn't feel a little happy when he said the previous words, but when he heard the back, his face sank again. Xuanyuan Yu still has something to hand over to the emperor, so doesn't he still have his own evidence of guilt?

Yin Quan and Queen Yin obviously thought of this, and couldn't help but look at Yin Zhengde with a little nervousness.

Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Yin Zhengde sighed lightly and said, "Hao'er, now that the emperor is healthy, it is your blessing." As he spoke, he stared deeply at Xuanyuan Hao.

"Grandfather," Xuanyuan Hao only felt that the sweat on his head came out, and he said with a little guilt: "I will definitely tell you what I do in the future, and I won't let you worry about it anymore." "I originally thought that if I did a few things well, I would definitely be looked at differently by these elders, but I didn't expect that not only did I not succeed, but they all became the handle in Xuanyuan Yu's hands.

"Okay," Yin Zhengde nodded and said, "I believe you can do what you say!" Hao'er, you are the future monarch, and the main task is to think about how to govern your courtiers and subordinates, rather than doing things yourself. ”

"Hao'er has been taught!" This time, Xuanyuan Hao nodded sincerely.

Seeing this, Yin Quan and Queen Yin couldn't help but glance at each other. It's still the old man who is powerful, but it just took a few words to reach Xuanyuan Hao's heart. It's just that I hope he really figured it out, and he won't do that kind of stupid thing in the future.

"Also," after a deep groan, Yin Zhengde said again: "Be kind to that girl of the Liu family in the future." ”

"She," Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help frowning, pursed his lips before he spoke: "Grandfather, the Liu family is unreasonable. But don't worry, Liu Yunyan will sit firmly in her position as the crown princess. ”
