Chapter 678: The Cuckold King
After the case was handled, the capital quickly quieted down, but behind the scenes, people were panicked.
Ye Qiu stood in the study with a gloomy face, he naturally guessed what others could guess, and it was more accurate.
The crown prince, Lin Jingxian, he will not let go of any of these two!
Here, Lin Jingxian was very uneasy for a while after knowing that the plan failed, but seeing that there was no other news coming out of the palace, she temporarily put her mind at ease, and could only sigh that Ye Qiu had a good life, but she really wanted to see the prince again, but she didn't have a chance, so she could only wait patiently.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the New Year, she must find a chance to discuss it with the prince again, after the New Year, the two side concubines should enter the mansion, and she must deal with Ye Qiu before they enter the mansion.
On the occasion of the New Year, even Beihu and Xiwolf, who had always had a bad relationship, sent envoys to discuss the armistice, and Emperor Xingwu was overjoyed and held a state banquet in the palace.
On such occasions, Lin Jingxian could no longer shirk the fact that the dragon and phoenix fetus were not in good health and could not participate, and the two of them were dressed up warmly, which was particularly festive.
But their little faces were inferior by two points when facing Ye Heng, who looked like Ye Qiu, the two children didn't count so much, but Lin Jingxian vomited a little blood, and the look in Ye Heng's eyes was not quite right.
Ye Qiu hugged Ye Heng and got into the carriage in front, Lin Jingxian and the dragon and phoenix tires sat in the back car together, but the dragon and phoenix tires didn't look very happy, and they wanted to be with Ye Qiu and Ye Heng, Lin Jingxian wasted a lot of energy before coaxing over.
"Father, isn't my brother and sister really Heng'er's own brother and sister?" Ye Heng sighed and said after getting into the carriage, seemingly a little frustrated.
Ye Qiu touched his head and whispered, "Father also wants them to be." ”
There are a lot of people who participate in the palace banquet, basically the dignitaries and nobles above the fifth grade in the capital are here, although Ye Qiu is not favored, but he is also a prince, so the position is relatively high, and next to him are the seven princes and the ten princes.
Emperor Xingwu sat on the main seat, and the queen sitting on both sides was the now favored Concubine Hui, because the fifteenth prince was young, and she was also held in her arms.
Emperor Xingwu also teased this old man from time to time, and Concubine Hui smiled and talked Yanyan, which made the queen sitting on the other side a little redundant.
Maybe it's because of the New Year, the queen is dressed very heavily today, and she doesn't have the appearance of being seriously ill as in the legend, her behavior is very dignified and generous, looking at everyone with a light smile, her appearance of not fighting or grabbing makes people feel that Concubine Hui can't get on the stage.
But think about it, no matter how heavy Concubine Hui's dress is, three years ago she was just a peasant girl, everything today is just because she gave birth to a good appearance, how can her knowledge be compared to Queen Liu, who was born into a nobleman?
After looking at the three people on the main throne, everyone's eyes couldn't help but move down, and the first place was His Royal Highness the Prince, who had never declined, but His Royal Highness the Prince's face was a little unpleasant today?
Look at Concubine Hui, who resembles the former queen, the courtiers feel that they have it, no wonder they haven't seen the prince come out to be active for a while!
However, what they don't know is that the crown prince did not come out for activities during this period of time, not because of Concubine Hui, but because he himself was imprisoned by Emperor Xingwu, although the news of his hiring of murderers and siblings was suppressed by his father, but he was locked up for several days, and he was not released until today's New Year.
Prince Ye Zheng didn't expect that Dali Temple and Fu Yin were so capable, and they really found out about themselves.
Thinking of his father's cold treatment of him during this time, he poured a sip of stuffy wine.
The crown princess Shen Xiu and the fifth princess Lin Jingxian, who were always paying attention to him, were worried when they saw this, and Concubine Hui raised her eyebrows, the crown princess cared about the prince is right, what is the urgency of these five princesses? It seems that her palace maid's guess is really correct, this matter is interesting, she is worried that she doesn't have the handle of the prince in her hand!
Lin Jingxian saw that the prince looked sad, and she was worried, so she ignored the dragon and phoenix fetus a little, but it was the first time for the dragon and phoenix fetus to see so many people, and she didn't have time to pay attention to their mother concubine, so she obediently and skillfully followed behind Ye Heng.
Because the dragon and phoenix fetus is still the first appearance since birth, many people don't know each other, and they all greet Ye Heng, as if they recognize him as the eldest son of the Five Princes' Mansion, after all, it is Ye Heng who often goes out with Ye Qiu to see the world, and the two fathers and sons look alike, resulting in many people not knowing the sons and daughters of the Five Princes' Mansion, only knowing him as the eldest son.
Seeing that Ye Heng was more popular than the dragon and phoenix fetus, Lin Jingxian was shocked, and she couldn't care about the prince's side, and while dealing with people, she sold the dragon and phoenix fetus.
"It's well-behaved." An old princess praised, "Why haven't you invited the prince and the county lord yet?" ”
Lin Jingxian glanced at Ye Qiu quickly and said with a smile: "Their father said that they were originally dragon and phoenix fetuses, and they were born in poor health, so they are afraid that they will not be able to suppress the blessing." ”
"That's right." The other Mrs. Hou nodded, "But the two children look good, and it's time to ask for a seal, so as not to be remembered by others." ”
There is a reason why this Mrs. Hou said this, originally her father-in-law was a high-powered grandfather of the country, because he favored the concubine, and later made a lot of jokes, her husband was able to inherit the position of the prince, and later it was the head of His Majesty, so she also hated the concubine who robbed the limelight of the concubine, and saw that Ye Qiu favored Ye Heng more, so she said a few more words when she was dissatisfied.
Lin Jingxian still maintained a dignified smile when she listened: "It depends on what Hou Ye means." ”
Mrs. Hou couldn't get used to her not fighting or grabbing, and admonished: "Don't take it to heart, there are some things that you can't let go, so as not to worry about the corruption of morality." ”
"Jingxian has been taught."
Hearing her so modest, the Mrs. Hou nodded with satisfaction.
"Madam, the fifth brother naturally has the reason for the fifth brother to do this, and Mrs. Hou still cares less about other people's affairs." When the conversation between several people was hot, Xia Yixiao on the side said lightly.
"What do you mean by this, the Seventh Princess?" The lady frowned and said.
Xia Yixiao took Ye Heng and chuckled: "It's not interesting, this princess just thinks that her family affairs are clear and she doesn't need others to intervene, and Heng'er is very good, not the kind of morally corrupt concubine you say." ”
"You ......" Mrs. Nahou was slapped in the face by Xia Yixiao on the spot, her face turned a little red, although the seventh prince was not favored, but he was also the prince, not to mention that there was a lady in the palace, it was not something that a woman like her could question, so she had to throw her sleeves back to her table angrily.
"The seventh brother and sister seem to like Heng'er very much?" Lin Jingxian looked at Xia Yixiao with a light smile, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
Xia Yixiao didn't care: "Heng'er is well-behaved, beautiful and motivated, of course I like it." ”
