Emperor Chu was still alive and at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he proposed to make Xiao Jin the prince at this time, and let him go to the fief to become a vassal, that is, Ming Sheng and Secret Descend.

As long as Xiao Jin leaves the imperial capital, it is equivalent to completely leaving the imperial capital.

"Does the father only need the second brother to leave, or will all the elder brothers except the eldest brother leave the imperial capital?" Emperor Chu's disposition really surprised Xiao Xuan. "Could it be that the sixth brother is going to leave in the future?"

"The father didn't mention anyone else, only said that the second brother would go to the fief alone." Xiao Yu said.

"The dust has finally settled now." Concubine Liu looked up at the children around her and said with emotion. "Thinking about everything that has happened recently, in fact, your father is aware of it. The reason why he hasn't spoken up is just to see how we react to things. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yu said respectfully. "The father is magnanimous, the second brother is not too disproportionate in doing things, and the queen is still the wife of the father and the emperor after all. Now that the Jokhang country is prosperous and the four borders are stable, both the father and the Jokhang will need a prince of the East Palace who can keep it in the future. My father gave me the position of the East Palace, and let the second brother go away, so that I and his brothers would not really come to the point where they would turn their faces. ”

"You're right." Emperor Liu thought about it carefully, nodded and said. "Things have finally settled down at this point."

Xiao Xuan left the palace in a daze, and only after boarding the carriage did she suddenly react and called out to the green forest.

The green forest outside was about to board the wheel, and when he heard Xiao Xuan sitting in the car and screaming coldly, he hurriedly climbed into the wheel and lifted the curtain.

"Princess, what's wrong?" Green Forest asked.

"You go to the palace of the king of Jinjun immediately, and invite the princess of Jinjun to come to my house tomorrow for me, and say that I have something important to say to her."

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

After returning to the princess's mansion and settling Brother Min'er, Xiao Xuan had just changed her clothes, and the green forest outside came back, and Hu came back with her.

"Why did the second sister-in-law come over now?" When Xiao Xuan heard that the Hu family was coming, he immediately got up to greet him. "The words I let the green forest pass should be ....."

Xiao Xuan pulled Hu Shi to sit down and looked at the green forest around him.

"The girl in the green forest didn't say anything wrong, but today the county king went out early in the morning and entered the palace, and when he returned to the county king's mansion, there was another big fuss. He made a lot of noise, and it happened that the people around me saw the girl from the green forest asking to see her outside the door, and quietly led her to my yard. "Coincidentally, Lu Lin was just about to let the people at the gate of King Jinjun pass the word, and he happened to be bought by Xiangdong's husband and met him.

Xiao Xuan's Dan Tang and Green Forest were the people who had followed her the longest, and Xiangdong's husband recognized her at a glance.

stepped forward and pulled her, and let her follow the carriage that purchased supplies into the county king's mansion from the side gate of the county king's mansion, and quietly entered the courtyard of the Hu family.

Now that there is no spring night, Hu has no eyes and ears in the front yard, and a lot of news is impossible to know.

But she still knew the news that Xiao Jin entered the palace in the morning, but Xiao Jin returned home after half a day's work, and she didn't know what happened to him in the palace, but as soon as he returned to the front yard, there was a bigger movement, even if Hu Shi was sitting in his courtyard, he could hear it.

Lu Lin came to the door at this time to deliver a message to Xiao Xuan and invited her to meet at the house tomorrow.

Hu Shi listened to Lu Lin's words, where can he still sit still.

In order not to alarm Xiao Jin's people, the Hu family didn't even bring a person who was waiting around him, and changed into the clothes of a servant woman in the house, took off the beads and jewelry on his head and body, changed his hair into a simple bun, and followed the green forest out of the palace of Jinjun Wangfu.

"And the second sister-in-law's outfit?" After sitting down, Xiao Xuan realized that Hu was dressed in the coarse cloth clothes of a servant.

"After His Royal Highness King Qin took the two children from the county king last time, the county king suspected that something was wrong with the people around him. Although the eyeliner I planted in the courtyard of the county king was withdrawn in time, the county king was still suspicious of me and Concubine Liao, and he was only suffering from the fact that there was no real evidence to deal with us. Hu said with a wry smile helplessly. These days, there are often his guards around my courtyard secretly observing, so today the princess sent the green forest girl to come over to pass the word, I was anxious to wait for tomorrow to come back, so I had to change this set of clothes to hide my whereabouts and go out, which really made the princess smile. ”

"It's really bitter for the second sister-in-law." Xiao Xuan looked at Hu Shi and said with some guilt. "It's also my fault that I didn't think about it for my second sister-in-law, and I was tired of my second sister-in-law."

"What the princess said, the thing is something I am willing to do, I can help the princess and His Royal Highness King Qin, and it is also for me and the children to form some good karma in the future." Regarding the matter of communicating and talking to Xiao Xuan in private before, Hu has never regretted it in his heart. "Now the princess doesn't have to gossip with me, just say anything."

"Okay, then I'll briefly tell my second sister-in-law about today's situation." Xiao Xuan took a deep breath before he said. "In fact, the second brother is not the only one who entered the palace today, and at the same time, my eldest brother and sixth brother went to Lingyun Hall to meet my father. The position of the East Palace has been decided, and the disposition of the second brother has also been decided. ”

As soon as Xiao Xuan's words came out, the strength of Hu's body seemed to be drained away, if Xiao Xuan hadn't been holding her hand, she would have almost slid off the chair with a limp of her body.

"The position of the East Palace has never been something I have in mind, so I won't ask." Hu Shi couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart, and she forced herself to keep her composure and asked. "I knew that I wouldn't be able to hide from Your Majesty for long after the things that the county king did, so now I ask the princess to tell me directly about His Majesty's disposition."

"My father said that he would establish the crown prince of the East Palace at the same time, and at the same time promote the second brother to the prince of Jin." Xiao Xuan said this, and after seeing Hu Shi's eyes widen in surprise, he continued. "It's just that the second brother becomes Prince Jin, and he has to go to the fief immediately to become a vassal and become the lord of a vassal from now on, and he can't leave the fief for half a step without an edict."

"It should have been expected a long time ago." Emperor Chu's disposition like this, the Hu family actually had a plan in his heart. "It seems that His Majesty is still a loving father after all, although he ordered the king of the county to go to the fief immediately, but he still gave the king of the county an honor and allowed him to leave the imperial capital as a prince."

"My father's will should be promulgated in the near future, and it is precisely for this matter that I hurriedly invited my second sister-in-law to come over today." Xiao Xuan also had hesitation in her heart, but the Hu family did help her a lot, and she finally made up her mind. "The second brother is not bad to take care of even if he is around the domain, but the children in the mansion are still young, can the second sister-in-law be willing to live in the imperial capital with the children temporarily?"

Speaking of feudal kings, it is also an old practice to leave their wives or minor children in the imperial capital to continue to live.

Xiao Jin is the adopted son of the queen, and the fief promised to him is not the best, but it is not a barren and bitter cold place, but there is still a big gap with the residence of the emperor like the imperial capital.

Xiao Xuan knew the reason why the Hu family was willing to help again and again, probably in case the second brother lost power in the future or after the incident, he could try to protect the children in the second brother's mansion.

"My relationship with the county king has long been bad, and it is naturally good to be able to stay in the imperial capital with my children for a long time." After listening to Xiao Xuan's words, she thought of her and Concubine Liao's children in the mansion, and she forced herself to regain her clarity.

Originally, there was not much left of the relationship between her and Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin was kicked out of the imperial capital by Emperor Chu, and selfishly, she naturally didn't want to leave the imperial capital with Xiao Jin and go to the fiefdom of Emperor Tiangao.

"But this may not be possible, right?" Unable to be happy, Xiao Jin may be more willing to pull himself out of the imperial capital, Hu Shi said worriedly. "Where will the king of the county easily fulfill me, besides, the children in the house are not all from me, Concubine Liao has been attached to me for the past few years, I am worried that if she leaves with the king of the county, she will be even more affected by me."

"It's man-made, my father has always valued the children of his grandchildren, and this matter may not be as difficult as the second sister-in-law imagined. Since the second sister-in-law wants to stay, I will fulfill the promise I made to the second sister-in-law and try my best to help the second sister-in-law complete this matter. Xiao Xuan said solemnly. Concubine Liao is weak, and her sister is also weak, but she is afraid that she will not be able to travel long distances. Second sister-in-law rest assured, there are still a few days left before the Ming Decree summons the Four Realms, and I will try to find a way to facilitate this matter before the second brother takes office. ”

"Princess." Hu couldn't stop crying. "Thank you, princess, for planning for us."

"Second sister-in-law doesn't have to tell me this." Xiao Xuan saw her crying, her eyes couldn't help but become sour, she took her handkerchief and handed it to Hu Shi to wipe her tears, and said. "The second sister-in-law's maiden family can also make some efforts, the Duchess of Liguo only has two daughters under her knees, and the sister of the second sister-in-law has been married far away, if the Duchess of Liguo is seriously ill at this time, it is inconvenient for the second sister-in-law to leave the imperial capital if she wants to fulfill her filial piety. As for Concubine Liao, her body is already weak, and it is not too late to stay in the imperial capital for a few years. ”

"I have written down the princess's orders." Xiao Xuan's suggestion is reasonable, if you want to promote this matter, Xiao Xuan's mediation alone may not be successful, if you add the Liguo Mansion and the Yongchang Earl's Mansion behind Hu and Concubine Liao, it will be an extra layer of protection. "When I return home today, I will immediately contact my mother's family to deal with this matter."

"There is one more thing, if the second sister-in-law and Concubine Liao both want to stay in the imperial capital, there will only be some concubines and concubines around the second brother." Xiao Xuan thought and thought, and then said. "I remember that last time I saw an aunt in the county king's mansion who was quite loved by the second brother, she should also be from a good family, and she wanted to serve the second brother on weekdays with all her heart. The second sister-in-law might as well find her in private to find out the situation, allow her to be the prince's side concubine, and let her go to the fiefdom with the second brother. After arriving in the fiefdom, without the second sister-in-law and Concubine Liao, she could be a family. ”
