The autumn breeze blows, the leaves fall one after another, and the golden color of the main hall renders the coming of autumn.

On the outskirts of the city gate of Kyoto, Qingguo, the carriage stopped under a willow tree, Jiang Zuiyao was wearing a dark red and silver embroidered butterfly skirt, wearing gold and colorful jewelry, pearl tassels swaying with the autumn wind, interviewing powder, and dressing solemnly.

Sitting next to him was Prince Gong, who was also dressed in formal clothes today, wearing a cloud brocade chrysanthemum pattern robe, his long hair was tied up by a golden crown, and his waist hung with a warm yang jade pendant.

It seems that it is a very formal place to attend.

Shao Ziqing stood outside the carriage, wearing the pure black satin on weekdays, the golden silk unicorn showed the atmosphere, and through a car window, he said to Prince Gong: "There are many crises here, everything is going according to plan." ”

Prince Gong said with deep eyebrows: "Remember what you promised me." ”

These words covered Prince Gong's distrust of Shao Ziqing, and Shao Ziqing said: "With Zhang Zinuo by my side, are you still afraid that I will cheat?" ”

Also, Zhang Zinuo is aware of the plan from beginning to end, but if Shao Ziqing has the slightest intention of harming Prince Gong, Zhang Zinuo will definitely not tolerate it, not to mention, he is also a crucial part of the whole plan.

Even so, such a major event cannot tolerate the slightest negligence, Shao Ziqing glanced at Jiang Zuiyao, and said again: "My woman will be handed over to you, if she has a little difference, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Prince Gong replied indifferently: "As long as you keep your word, I will definitely keep my promise to give you everything you want, and return her to you intact." ”

Shao Ziqing looked at the sky and said, "It's not early, let's go." ”

The carriage went slowly, accompanied by the shaking of the carriage, Jiang Zuiyao's heart also trembled, she knew very well what she was going to face this time, and subconsciously glanced at Shao Ziqing, in front of interests, he could really send her into the fire pit.

After entering Kyoto in Qingguo, Su Su looked at the traffic outside and sighed: "I haven't been back for a long time, but Kyoto is still so lively." ”

Su Su's existence is nominally Jiang Zuiyao's maid, and she is also the eyeliner that Prince Gong placed beside her, and her every move can't escape Prince Gong's eyes.

But this did not bother Jiang Zuiyao, after all, Su Su was a good person, and it was reasonable to arrange for someone to monitor him by his side for such an important matter of seeking power and usurping the throne.

Su Su's words made Prince Gong also turn his head to look outside, once, he was the crown prince here, living in the gorgeous and noble Prince East Palace, after many years, he became the most humble in the royal family, Prince Gong with no real name but no real power.

For a while, he couldn't help but sigh at his downfall, and he was also destined to make a comeback.

At this time, passing by a shop, Su Su said excitedly: "Your Highness still remembers this restaurant, in the past, you loved to eat the dishes of this restaurant, and the slaves and maids always came, and now it is still so lively." ”

Although Prince Gong didn't reply, his unwavering eyes were enough to prove that he also cared, even if the carriage passed by, he still watched.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the guards confirmed the identities of several people and let them enter the palace.

The carriage walked to the wide corridor, surrounded by a dozen or so guards, who said they were escorting, but in fact they were defending, but if they made any rebellious move, they would be taken down immediately.

The carriage went all the way, attracting questioning glances from the palace people, and many people gathered together to whisper.

"Look, it's His Royal Highness Prince Gong's carriage!"

"I heard a long time ago that Prince Gong was going to enter the palace, I thought it was nonsense, but I didn't expect Prince Gong to really come back."

"Do you see a woman in red sitting in the carriage?"

"It's too far away to see too clearly, who is it?"

"I don't know who it is, but I heard that it was dedicated to His Majesty."

"Really?"

"I personally heard what the eunuch in charge of in front of His Majesty said, where would there be a fake, but I just don't know if it's her."

"Could it be that Prince Gong entered the palace to present a woman to His Majesty?"

"How can it be such a trivial matter, you see, Prince Gong is here, I'm afraid that something big will happen."

With the sound of discussion, when he finally arrived in front of the main hall, Prince Gong said lightly: "Get off." ”

Su Su took the lead in getting out of the carriage and helped Jiang Zuiyao get out of the car.

Jiang Zuiyao took out the palace fan that was prepared first to cover her face, and the palace fan was silkened and embroidered with a big red peony, which was very beautiful.

Jiang Zuiyao got out of the car, and the surrounding palace people looked at her curiously, and through the gap, they saw her face, thinking that this woman is not a country and a city, and there are many women with such appearances, how could Prince Gong dedicate such a woman to His Majesty.

went up the steps, the eunuch went to pass the word, and Jiang Zuiyao followed Prince Gong into the main hall.

This is the first time Jiang Zuiyao has entered the palace of Qingguo, compared to Rongguo, although the decoration is different, but it is the same luxury.

After passing through the two doors and coming to the front of the main hall, I saw a man in his early thirties wearing a dragon robe sitting on the dragon chair, which should be the Emperor Qingguo.

Prince Gong walked to the center of the main hall, knelt on the ground and saluted, "The minister bows to see Your Majesty." ”

Jiang Zuiyao and Su Su also knelt on the ground with Prince Gong.

The emperor looked at Prince Gong's younger brother, but his face was indifferent for a while, and he didn't want to be close: "I haven't seen you for many years, how is Prince Gong doing?" ”

"Brother is all right." , short words, but perfunctory and cold, Prince Gong is in the place where the bird does not, where will it be good.

When I arrived in Kyoto, Jiang Zuiyao knew that Qingguo was not a place full of yellow sand, and the temperature in Kyoto in autumn was pleasant, and it was very comfortable.

Beside the emperor sat a woman about fifty years old, dressed in a red brocade phoenix robe, with full pearls hanging from the corners of her skirt, under the grace and luxury, she couldn't hide her old face, raised her finger and pointed at Jiang Zuiyao, and asked, "This is the woman you want to sacrifice to Your Majesty?" ”

When she raised her hand, several blood pigeon gems on the jade escort flashed a dark light, she was the emperor's biological mother, the most noble queen mother of Qingguo.

Prince Gong nodded and replied, "Exactly." ”

"Put the fan down and let the mourners see." , The Queen Mother's voice was lazy and cold, and her forehead shook slightly between the words, causing the jewel tassel on her head to sway gently.

Jiang Zuiyao put down the palace fan in his hand, and the moment his face was revealed, the emperor and the queen mother looked at it together.

The two of them were somewhat disappointed, they both thought that Prince Gong would definitely present a beautiful woman, although Jiang Zuiyao was not ugly, and she could be regarded as a flower like jade, but such a woman was not lacking in the palace.

"This is the woman you want to sacrifice to me?" , The emperor's words were full of dissatisfaction and disdain for Prince Gong.

Prince Gong said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you can take a closer look." ”
