After the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Xuanhe immediately drove back to the Baohe Palace. You have to rest for at least two hours before you can summon the important ministers to the Baohe Palace to discuss matters.

Emperor Xuanhe was weak, and all the ministers knew some of it more or less. No one dared to discuss the matter in private.

As soon as the dynasty dispersed today, the courtiers gathered together and talked about the twists and turns of Pingxi Hou.

Yong'an Hou's mood was a little heavy.

Yuan Silan is the fiancé of Princess Shouning. Originally, it was also a big help for the second prince. Now, Princess Shouning is still "recuperating" in the princess's mansion, and if Yuan Silan goes to the border pass to "persuade the Tatar cavalry to surrender......

For the second prince, it is by no means good news.

However, there was a voice of support in the court, and Emperor Xuanhe obviously also moved his mind. Even if he is in the court, he can only open his mouth to echo.

How can we recoup the disadvantage?

Yong'an Hou thought about it and finally had an idea. At noon that day, I went to the Second Prince's Mansion.

The second prince was quite well-informed, and when he saw the Marquis of Yong'an, he asked anxiously: "Uncle, in your opinion, will my father make an order to order Yuan Silan to go to the border?" ”

Yong'an Hou's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "In less than three days, the emperor will definitely make an order!" ”

Second Prince: "......"

The second prince's face was not very good at all. The second prince paced back and forth in annoyance, walked around the study twice before stopping: "Uncle, what should I do now?" ”

Yong'an Hou said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this, His Highness can only be ruthless, and the strong man has broken his wrist." ”

"While the emperor has not yet issued an order, His Royal Highness will go to the palace to face the saint, and then go to explain the stakes to Yuan Silan. It is best to say that Yuan Silan took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border pass. If it is spread out like this, it will be more able to save the emperor's face. ”

"As the son of man, His Highness should share the worries of his father."

The second prince's eyes were uncertain, and there was a hint of hesitation: "On that day, I personally went to the Baohe Palace to ask my father and the emperor to give him a marriage, so that Shouning could be reconciled." Now, if I do this again, it will be no different from persuading Yuan Silan to take the initiative to send him to death......"

Let's not talk about what Yuan Silan's reaction will be, Shou Ninggong mainly knows about this, and he is afraid that he will completely hate his brother. There is no possibility of recovering the brother-sister relationship.

The Marquis of Yong'an seemed to see the thoughts of the second prince, and said coldly: "Which is more important, Your Highness may wish to think about it carefully." ”

Was he dragged down by Yuan Silan and continued to be snubbed by Emperor Xuanhe?

Or is it to turn over in one fell swoop?

The second prince's face changed again and again, and he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay!" I'll be in the palace later! ”

Yong'anhou's face softened slightly: "Make a decision immediately, take advantage of the situation, and your Highness can figure it out." There is no need to rush into the palace immediately, the emperor has to rest for two hours at noon as usual, and summons important ministers to discuss politics in the afternoon. After His Royal Highness enters the palace, he might as well go to the Jiaofang Hall first and say hello to the queen. ”

Speaking of Empress Pei, the second prince subconsciously snorted lightly: "It's enough for the queen mother to have a little six, where do you want to see me." ”

There was a thick jealousy and undisguised sourness in his tone.

A hint of coolness flashed in Yong'an Hou's eyes, and he comforted in a low voice: "It's not uncommon for my mother to love my child. The most important thing in Niangniang's heart is still His Royal Highness. ”

The second prince snorted coldly again: "Uncle doesn't need to say these nice things to coax me." Since I was young, my mother has been lukewarm to me, and she has never been as affectionate as ordinary mothers and sons. In the past, the queen mother was cold to Xiaoliu, but I was afraid that she was also pretending. Now that Xiaoliu is growing up and is favored by his father, the queen mother doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. ”

"Now, the queen mother is openly favoring Xiaoliu. I, as a son, can I be dissatisfied? ”

As a son of man, he has only one filial piety to his father and mother.

In the heavenly family, before this "filial piety", there must be another "loyalty".

During this period of time, the second prince was annoyed in his heart, but he was helpless. When he entered the palace, he had to pretend to be casual, and he was very affectionate with the six princes, and he was even more filial and close to Queen Pei.

No matter what is inside, at least, in the eyes of everyone, Queen Pei sits firmly in the position of the queen of the Middle Palace, and the sixth prince is in full swing, which means that he, the second prince, has not completely fallen out of favor.

Yong'an Hou glanced at the second prince deeply: "Your Highness, rest assured, now is not the time." One day, I will share your worries for Your Highness. ”

Such meaningful and suggestive words, the second prince obviously did not hear it for the first time. Every time I listen to it, there is always some pleasure in my heart that cannot be expressed.

The second prince stretched his brows and smiled.

……

In the afternoon, the Jiaofang Palace.

Emperor Xuanhe summoned important ministers from the court to discuss the matter. Queen Pei returned to the Jiaofang Palace, and Cheng Jinrong followed Queen Pei's side. Concubine Gu Shu led Princess Kang Ning over.

Princess Kangning is getting older, her appearance is becoming more and more delicate, and her gestures are full of Sven's bookish air. The voice was warm and soft: "Corning has seen the queen mother. ”

Queen Pei smiled and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk!" ”

Princess Kangning smiled and thanked her, sitting beside Concubine Gu Shu.

After Concubine Gu Shu took charge of the palace affairs, every three days, she reported all the things in the harem to Queen Pei. Compared with Emperor Zheng's style when she was in charge of palace affairs, Concubine Gu Shu can be described as cautious.

Empress Pei also wanted to re-establish the rules of the harem, so she also acquiesced.

Xuanhe Emperor Long was weak and didn't enter the harem for half a year. The harem concubines can't even see the face of the Son of Heaven, let alone serve and compete for favor. and then Emperor Zheng's concubine was cut off and imprisoned in Zhongcui Palace, and they were honest and peaceful. The harem is calm and tranquil like never before.

There is less intrigue in the harem, and it is nothing more than trivial palace affairs. It is not much different from the backyard of the inner house of a large family.

Concubine Gu Shu reported for half an hour, and then she finished speaking.

Empress Pei smiled and said, "You are careful in your work, and this palace is very relieved." By the way, the fourth prince and the fifth prince will get married next year. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has also begun to build a government for the two of them! ”

At this time, Gu Shufei couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Don't hide it from Niangniang, the head of the Internal Affairs Office is embarrassed by this matter." ”

"It is not a trivial matter for the prince to build a mansion. The four princes and the five princes built a mansion at the same time, and the cost was really not small. But a few days ago, the emperor decreed that one million taels of silver were allocated from the Internal Affairs Office as military salaries. The money in the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly decreased by thirty percent. ”

"It's really a bit stretchy to build a mansion for the two princes."

The prince built a mansion and had his own regulations. To say the least, it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The two princes built a mansion at the same time, and the cost was indeed very large.

Empress Pei thought for a moment and said, "You pass the message to the head of the Internal Affairs Office on behalf of the palace." Now is the time when the war is at its worst, and everything is simple. The four princes and the five princes built a government, and the regulations were streamlined, minus one-third. Hongu will personally share it with the two of them. ”

Gu Shufei breathed a sigh of relief and responded softly.

At this moment, a palace maid came in to report: "Queen Qi, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has come to ask to see you." ”
