188 Grand return to the palace
The carriage stopped, and when Ruotang got out of the car, she saw Baili Wenhan standing at the door with her hands in her hands, waiting for her.
Although he still had a smile on his face, that smile was too far-fetched in Ruotang's eyes.
Baili Wenhan came up and stopped the ninth princess from getting out of the carriage. "Xiao Jiu, it's not early, you should go back to the palace."
After that, without waiting for the little princess to respond, she directly ordered her guards and grandmother, "Escort the ninth princess back to the palace." ”
The little princess looked at Ruotang with blank eyes, as if she wanted to hear what she said, but Ruotang didn't realize it, and the little princess showed a look of disappointment on her face, waved her hand, and lowered the curtain.
After the carriage started, Ruotang raised his head. I watched the little princess go to the palace in a daze.
I don't know what happened to Chu Qianlan right now.
Baili Wenhan glanced at her with heavy eyes, "Let's go in first." ”
Ruotang also looked up at him and pulled the corners of his mouth: "If you can't laugh, don't laugh, it's really not good-looking."
Baili Wenhan listened to her pretending to be a relaxed teaser, and really suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and quickly returned this sentence to her: "This is exactly what I want to tell you." You're laughing so ugly. ”
"It's already good that I can still laugh at this time." Ruotang's mouth was faster than his brain, and he fought back.
"yes, it's all this time, why are you still smiling?" Baili Wenhan asked her strangely.
"Do you want to cry?" Ruotang pouted, "But is it useful to cry?" ”
If it worked, she would have cried a long time ago, okay?
The two of them talked casually as they entered the door.
"Don't worry too much, even if King Xiang enters the palace, he will be safe and sound at this time." Baili Wenhan comforted her, "Go back and rest." ”
"When are you going to enter the palace?" Ruotang also saw the Tsing Yi scribe waiting under the vermilion corridor, and thought that he had something to discuss with Baili Wenhan, so he would wait here.
"Later." Baili Wenhan said lightly, "What's the situation with King Xiang." I'll let you know as soon as possible. ”
"Thank you." Ruotang saluted him, and glanced at Mr. Gu who was looking at them from afar, and then turned around and went to the main courtyard.
……
Ruotang's figure disappeared around the corner, and Mr. Gu couldn't wait to greet him: "Your Highness, what's going on in Jing'an Temple?" It's not that it's foolproof, how could the prince of Xiang take the initiative to recognize the identity of the Seventh Prince? ”
Baili Wenhan briefly explained the process of his trip to Jing'an Temple, "If Chu Qianlan wants to recognize that identity, he will not be unable to hold on to them. I could tell that they didn't want to admit it, but the decree came suddenly...... No, according to my understanding of Chu Qianlan. Even a holy decree could not suppress him to bow his head, there must be other reasons. ”
Mr. Gu nodded thoughtfully, his eyes flickered, and said: "Indeed, King Xiang will not be a person who nods and bends his waist to people easily, and only ...... can make him give up his principles and nod to be the status of the Seventh Prince."
He paused and looked at Baili Wenhan.
Baili Wenhan was also looking at him, and both of them had a look of realization in their eyes.
"It must be because of Ah Tang." Baili Wenhan clenched his left hand into a fist and hit it the palm of his right hand.
He remembered the strange poisonous pill that Ruotang had eaten, and his mind turned sharply, and his face showed remorse, "Chu Qianlan has been looking for the Divine Doctor Huangfu Zhong. ”
Mr. Gu's face was surprised, and then he suddenly realized: "The Huangfu Bell is in the hands of Concubine Shu!"
Baili Wenhan's face became more and more calm and cautious: "This woman, I used to underestimate her too much."
Because it's a woman. Because he knew that she was not simple, he first gave birth to contempt in his bones.
Sure enough, contempt was the worst mistake he ever made.
Mr. Gu comforted him and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to be discouraged now, even if Chu Qianlan recognizes the identity of the Seventh Prince, this is just the beginning." We have only lost this one move, and if we are in a state of collapse, what are we talking about? In the future, many things can be planned, so it is too early to admit defeat. ”
"Lose?" Baili Wenhan sneered, "How hard I have worked over the years to get all this now, it is absolutely impossible for me to admit defeat!" ”
Mr. Gu nodded, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
……
The return of the seventh prince to the palace is a solemn thing.
Because it was too hurried, although there was no grand scene of welcoming hundreds of officials, the ministers who came to the Qinzheng Palace and the cabinet elders were all rushed to the gate of the palace like ducks by Baili Huang to welcome the seven princes back to the palace.
Waiting for Chu Qianlan's car to drive into the inner palace, the ministers got up.
"Elder Yan Ge, what do you think of this Seventh Prince?"
The gray-haired Yan Ge Lao touched his carefully cultivated tiger whiskers and played Tai Chi with a smile: "Very good, the dragon and phoenix among the talents, worthy of being the dragon and the phoenix."
The corners of the minister's mouth twitched, just now the car passed by, the seven princes didn't even show their faces, they didn't even raise their heads, how did this old fox see the dragon and phoenix among the talents?
"I have never heard of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince from His Majesty's mouth, but I didn't expect that once I returned to the palace, Your Majesty would attach so much importance to it, it seems that in the future, the wind in this court should change." Someone said with a sigh.
Although it was so vague, everyone understood it in their hearts. His Majesty's surviving princes, plus the seven princes have a total of five, the eldest prince is mediocre and incompetent, and he has devoted his life to being an idle prince who eats, drinks and has fun, and the biological mother of the three princes is humble, but his means of dealing with the world are sleek and sophisticated, and his own ability is not bad, and he treats his subordinates well, so the courtiers who support the three princes account for at least half. The fourth prince is a good young man who is quite upright, but some of them are too upright, except for loyal and upright officials, those treacherous or greedy ministers can't climb up if they want to. However, the timing of the four princes is deeply loved by His Majesty, and he is often summoned to the palace to teach. The most pitiful thing is the eighth prince, who had a serious illness when he was a child, but when he got better, he became an idiot who didn't understand anything. His Majesty thought he was embarrassed, and even when he was an adult, he did not let him out of the palace and build a mansion to live on his own like other highnesses.
So before the Seven Princes returned to the palace, the status of the Three Princes in the court was obvious.
But now that the Seven Princes have been welcomed back to the palace by His Majesty in such a high-profile manner, I think that in His Majesty's heart, this Seven Princes is also a prince of great importance.
It's good that the Seven Princes don't intervene in the court affairs, otherwise there will be no peaceful life in this court.
The ministers walked back in twos and threes.
The elder Yan Ge deliberately slowed down his pace just now, walked side by side with a man dressed as a military general, and talked quietly: "Marquis Xiao, what do you think of this Seventh Prince?"
That Marquis Xiao's thick eyebrows and big eyes, as soon as he spoke, he spoke like thunder, but at this moment, he spoke softly to Yan Ge Lao: "The Seventh Highness is naturally blessed, everyone should be sent to the palace to recuperate in the Seventh Highness that year, and he can't live, and he doesn't want to return once, he is such a graceful character." Elder Yan Ge, what do you think? ”
Yan Ge Lao touched his baby beard and said with a smile: "The old man also thinks it is very good, but unfortunately, the old man's family does not have a daughter of the right age, so he does not have that blessing." Upper peasant demon rowing.
He looked like he had insight into the opportunity, and smiled at Marquis Xiao, "Marquis Xiao's blessing is still to come, the old man has to congratulate him in advance, and then Marquis Xiao should not be stingy and reward the old man with a few more glasses of wine." ”
Marquis Xiao smiled and played Tai Chi with him: "Where is it, but I still borrow the auspicious words of Yan Ge Lao, if there is really good news, your good wine must be indispensable."
The two looked at each other and smiled, but in just a moment, they separated again, looking distinct.
But this scene still fell in the eyes of those who have a heart.
……
As everyone knows, when it comes to the last palace gate, even the most favored three princes will also get off the horse and get off.
But in front of everyone's eyes, the car of the newly baked Seven Princes slowly stopped until it reached the front of the palace.
Bai Lihuang stood on the high steps and looked condescendingly at the young man who jumped off the frame.
He was accompanied by a concubine who couldn't help crying with joy.
And Queen Shangguan, who was dressed in a phoenix robe with a cold face, stood on the other side of the emperor, her face was no longer young and had already been engraved with the traces of the frost of the years.
Bai Lihuang's originally happy eyes immediately turned into the coldest and most poisonous cold arrow in the world and shot at her, if it weren't for the sake of grandeur, in order to build momentum for the return of his and Rong'er's child, he wouldn't want to see this poisonous woman at one more glance!
Seeing this, Concubine Shu hurriedly timidly pulled Bai Lihuang's sleeve, "Your Majesty." ”
Bai Li Huang glared at the queen again in warning before retracting his gaze.
When he looked at Concubine Shugui, his eyes were no longer as cold, ruthless and ruthless as he looked at the queen.
The queen watched them quietly, her eyes unwavering, but revealing hatred deep into her bones. Break up the wife's contract
Chu Qianlan stood at the foot of the steps, still wearing the smoke-colored shirt she wore before, raised a pair of calm eyes and glanced at the steps, then lowered her eyes again, and knelt down without any psychological pressure or burden, "Erchen knocks to see his father and mother, and please say hello to his father and queen mother!" ”
The corners of Concubine Shugui's tearful and smiling mouth stiffened slightly.
Bai Lihuang patted the back of her hand, as if comforting, and Concubine Shu shook her head at him understandingly, indicating that she would not mind.
"Hurry up, come forward and let me take a good look." Bai Lihuang opened his mouth happily, and after not caring about Concubine Shugui's mood, he finally remembered to take a good look at this son who was rumored to look very similar to him.
Chu Qianlan walked up the steps as she said, and stopped when she walked to the middle position.
His handsome face has always been very calm, and the calm and unprovoked made Concubine Shu a little uneasy.
Bai Li Huang looked at him carefully, laughed with satisfaction, and said to the palace concubine behind Shuguifei: "Not bad, Xiao Qi really has my demeanor!"
