At this time, Cheng Jinrong was in the Jiaofang Palace, saying goodbye to Queen Pei.

Empress Pei retreated, held Cheng Jinrong's hand, and whispered: "This is the first year you have married into the He family." You go back to the house tonight and wait until the fifth day of the new year before entering the palace. ”

All the ministers in the court and the central government returned to the official office on errands after the Shangyuan Festival.

As a physician, he doesn't have so many vacations. According to the practice in the palace, the imperial doctors should take turns to be on duty in the palace. The imperial guards were even more miserable, and there were no holidays during the New Year.

Empress Pei felt sorry for her daughter and son-in-law, and privately made a statement to the Son of Heaven to let the young couple who were on duty in the palace every day return home for the New Year. Emperor Xuanhe has given permission.

Cheng Jinrong responded with a smile: "Okay, I will enter the palace on the sixth day of the new year to greet my mother." ”

Queen Pei looked at her daughter, who had a ruddy complexion and a flower-like face, and her heart was happy and comfortable, and she also laughed: "You are doing well in your husband's house, and I can let go of this heart." ”

The painful past is a thing of the past.

Now she sits firmly in the middle palace, Xiaoliu has become the prince, and Cheng Jinrong is married to a satisfactory husband. God doesn't treat her too thinly.

However, it is not without its concerns.

Cheng Jinrong said in a low voice: "Tomorrow's palace banquet, the second prince and Princess Shouning will attend." Niangniang should be cautious in what she says and acts. "Don't show your flaws.

Empress Pei's eyes flashed slightly, and she smiled faintly: "Don't worry, this palace knows it." ”

In the palace, everyone has several masks. On different occasions, wear different masks, do things that are in line with your identity, and say the right things.

Empress Pei has devoted herself to "cultivation" in the past two years, and it is not a problem to deal with such an occasion.

Cheng Jinrong said softly again: "I heard that the emperor has issued an edict and ordered Zheng Jieyu to appear at the palace banquet tomorrow." ”

Empress Pei snorted, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, I don't know if it was because of Zheng Jieyu or Emperor Xuanhe: "The emperor has decreed that the prince has been established, and the palace must always make a harmonious appearance." Although Zheng Jieyu has fallen out of favor, she is the biological mother of the fourth prince of the eldest prince.

Moreover, Zheng Jieyu has also been imprisoned for more than a year, and it is time to come out to meet people. ”

The mother and daughter gossiped for a long time, and Cheng Jinrong opened his mouth again to say goodbye: "Niangniang, I should go back." ”

Empress Pei didn't stay any longer, and said with a smile: "There hasn't been such a heavy snow in the past two years. Be careful on your way. ”

……

The snow is quite deep, and when you go down, it is a deep foot socket.

Cheng Jinrong stepped on his feet all the way to the palace gate.

He Qi was already waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Cheng Jinrong's figure from a distance, he couldn't help stepping forward, and reached out to hold Cheng Jinrong's slightly cool hand: "Ah Rong, let's go home." ”

Cheng Jinrong pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay." ”

She really likes the word home.

The moonlight is printed with snow, and everything is clearly visible without the need for palace lamp lighting. The joy in Cheng Jinrong's eyes and the smile on his lips clearly reflected in He Qi's eyes.

At the palace gate, it is inconvenient for Meng Lang. He Qi suppressed the commotion in his heart and pulled Cheng Jinrong's hand into the carriage.

There was a charcoal basin burning in the carriage, and it was warm. He Qi hugged his newlywed wife into his arms and scolded Meng Lang.

Cheng Jinrong's face was like a peach blossom, his red lips were delicate, his breathing was a little short and unsteady, and he glared at He Qi. However, this glance is obviously not very powerful.

He Qi laughed silently. hugged the delicate wife in his arms tighter.

The wind was cold outside the carriage, and the spring was warm inside the carriage.

The young couple relieved the pain of lovesickness for a while, and then whispered.

"Ah Rong, the canonization ceremony of the six princes is in March. After March, the emperor will set up the East Palace Zhan Mansion for the six princes. ”

He Qi said in a low voice: "On Wenchen's side, Qian Zhougu and the three Taifu will plan for the six princes. We can't do anything about it, and we don't have to worry about it. ”

The six princes are the princes of the heirs, and they are the princes appointed by the emperor, and they are justifiable. The ministers are the most orthodox and will support the six princes.

Moreover, the benevolence of the Six Princes is known to everyone. The Wenchen, who was firmly pressed by the generals who had won the favor of the saints with heavy troops, had long been looking forward to such a prince who liked to be close to the Wenchen.

Cheng Jinrong nodded slightly.

What He Qi said next was the point: "The six princes were made princes, and several princes must be unwilling. In the future, the six princes should strengthen their defenses. ”

"According to the rules of the palace, the prince can have a thousand personal soldiers. The prince of the East Palace can have two thousand guards. After the canonization ceremony, the six princes will add 1,000 personal soldiers. It would not be good if someone harbored evil intentions mixed in. This matter has to be prevented! ”

"After the New Year, I will go to the Six Princes in private. When choosing the soldiers of the East Palace, you must be cautious. Especially the position of the commander of the East Palace guards is even more important. ”

Cheng Jinrong's expression also became solemn: "What you said is true." Around the six princes, there must be loyal, reliable and good people. ”

Then, Cheng Jinrong glanced at He Qi.

Husband and wife have a heart. Cheng Jinrong didn't say anything, He Qi understood her intentions, and said with a smile: "Since I said so, I have the intention of automatically asking for help." ”

From the commander of the imperial guards to the commander of the guards of the East Palace, he has obviously been demoted by one level.

However, the prince of Donggong is the future son of heaven. In public and private, He Qi had to stand beside the six princes.

Cheng Jinrong was moved in his heart, and leaned his head on He Qi's chest: "San Lang, thank you." ”

"Husband and wife are one, and it's too much to say thank you."

He Qi laughed in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about grandmother, second uncle, they will be unhappy. When the prince was not established, the Pingguo Mansion could not be involved in the establishment of the prince, and I, as the prince of Pingguo, could not take a stand early. Now that the Sixth Prince is the prince, it is only natural for me to be loyal to the future Son of Heaven. When the grandmother's second uncle knows about it, he will definitely approve of it. ”

……

He Qi expected it to be good.

On the morning of the second day, he said goodbye to Mrs. Tai and He Song that he wanted to be the commander of the East Palace. Mrs. Tai didn't mean to stop at all, but said: "You take the initiative to ask for help, and it depends on the emperor's wishes." ”

He Song's eyes flashed: "San Lang and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince have always been very close. In terms of skill, leadership, family background, and loyalty, San Lang is the best candidate for the commander of the East Palace guards. There is no reason for the emperor to disagree. ”

He Qi smiled: "It's good that grandmother and second uncle are in favor." ”

Mrs. Tai laughed: "What's not to approve of. You are on an errand in the capital, and it doesn't matter how high or low your official position is. Anyway, you will always go to the border army to be the main general in the future. ”

"It's a good thing to be able to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Grandmother also hopes that you will do a good job and protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Mrs. Tai's voice His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was extremely natural.

After the Son of Heaven decreed the establishment of the prince, everyone's title was changed. But in the palace, I am used to calling the six princes.

He Qi responded with a smile, and blinked quietly while rushing towards Cheng Jinrong.

Cheng Jinrong's heart is like a spring flower.
