After coming here, Jiang Shishi stayed in the palace all day long, and she hadn't left the palace to play.

Now that I know that I have the opportunity to go out of the palace to play, I can't help but be happy.

The key is that the prince will be in trouble this time, and she will follow the prince out of the palace, which is convenient for spoilers for the prince.

"It's a great thing to be able to swim in the lake and taste the delicious fish." A satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Shishi's face, "That... The concubine is here, thank Your Highness in advance. ”

The matter was settled, and the prince drank the cup of tea and left with his minions.

That night, the news that the prince was going to take Jiang Meiren out of the palace to play spread all over the East Palace.

In the backyard of the East Palace, some people are so jealous that they can't sleep.

Concubine Tang is such a person, she doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, so she asks the palace maid and eunuch to clean the palace and wipe the ornaments in the house.

was still muttering that she was hungry, so she asked the palace maid to go to the imperial dining room to get her food.

If the minions are careless, she will scold a dog with blood, and if it is serious, she will be corporal punishment.

The minions who knelt on the ground in the inner room were all trembling.

One of the palace maids asked tentatively, "Little master, or... Let's take advantage of the fact that His Royal Highness hasn't taken Jiang Meiren out of the palace yet, and give her some color to see? ”

Concubine Tang: "Your Highness will take her out of the palace tomorrow, let's do it now, it's too late, it will inevitably be in a hurry, and if you don't do it, it will cause Your Highness to be disgusted." ”

With a sneer, she said jealously, "Wait... When Jiang Meiren returns to the palace, I'll give her some color and see! ”

**

Early the next morning, Pei Xuanling got up before dawn.

After some washing, I didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so I went directly to the Ministry of Etiquette to arrange the guest ceremony and receive foreign guests.

After the arrangement, Pei Xuanling took the chariot to the Baohe Palace.

As soon as he sat down, Huang Dechang secretly handed the prince a note and whispered: "Your Highness, our people have found the inn where those assassins are staying in the capital, and they have also found a secret letter from their guest room. ”

Pei Xuanling took the secret letter and read it, and the letter wrote in detail how to plot to assassinate him in the imperial tomb.

There is also a seal letter in the lower right corner of the secret letter, although it looks vague, it can also be recognized as the seal letter of the Ministry of Rites.

After reading the letter, Pei Xuanling's eyes turned slightly.

Although this official seal is stored in the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the seal key is worn by the attendants of the Ministry of Rites.

And the Ministry of Rites Si Shiro and the Wai Lang also have the right to use it, and they only need to return it to the Ministry of Rites after using it.

That's a bit tricky......

Moreover, as soon as the envoy from southern Xinjiang arrived today, the other party asked them to find out such news, which made him have to think about it more.

Pei Xuanling's tone was calm and low, "Don't make a noise about this beforehand, just continue to investigate." ”

Now, he and the Ministry of Rites are arranging guest gifts and receiving foreign guests, if there is infighting at this time, there is no joke for Southern Xinjiang.

Huang Dechang: "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Hey, I don't know if the Ministry of Rites is dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and deliberately engaged in moths.

The emperor is also right, knowing that the Ministry of Rites does not like His Royal Highness the Prince, and he still wants to hand over the Ministry of Rites to His Royal Highness as a reward.

It stands to reason that His Royal Highness won the battle last time, and the award is also from the Ministry of Soldiers, what kind of award is the Ministry of Rites?

This kind of behavior is really incomprehensible.

By the time the prince arrived at the Baohe Palace, the envoys of southern Xinjiang and some princes and ministers had already arrived.

After a while, when everyone had arrived, the sound of the eunuchs singing was heard outside.

"The emperor has arrived!"

As soon as they heard this voice, everyone in the temple stood up and bowed deeply.

"Emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

Emperor Jianyuan, wearing a Ming and yellow dragon robe, strode to the top, and then sat down on the dragon chair.

The sophisticated eyes looked down at the bottom of the hall, and his voice was deep and majestic, "You don't have to be polite, just get up!" ”

After everyone got up, they sat down again.

An envoy from southern Xinjiang with a beard walked to the middle, put his right hand on his left chest, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we have come all the way from southern Xinjiang to offer some special products from southern Xinjiang, and I ask Your Majesty to accept it with a smile." ”

As he spoke, a group of envoys from southern Xinjiang came in carrying hundreds of large and small Huali official suitcases and lined up neatly.

A minister of the Ministry of Rites read aloud according to the gift list: "In March of the 28th year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, 200 stones each of raisins, jujubes, wolfberries, and walnuts were presented in southern Xinjiang, 800 square inches of carpets in southern Xinjiang, 1,000 strong cattle, 100 pieces of jade carvings, and 30 pieces of Hetian jade rough stones......

Except for the cattle kept in the royal farm, the rest of the tribute was all on the spot.

"The lord of your country has a heart." After the minister of the Ministry of Rites finished reading the gift list, Emperor Jianyuan had a light smile on his face.

"Your envoys are very hard all the way, I will let people set up a banquet, and when the banquet is over, the prince will take you on a cruise in the West Lake, you are rare to come, you will have to play in Beijing for a few more days, and we will do our best in Dongliang."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness." The envoy from southern Xinjiang said in a broken Central Plains dialect: "It's just that we have come to the capital from southern Xinjiang, and it has taken several months on the way. Now that the tribute has been delivered, we have to return to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible to resume our lives, and we will not stay in your country for long. ”

Hearing this, the Ministry of Rites and the prince showed pity on their faces.

In the past few days, they have discussed and used a cruise ship to lead the envoys from southern Xinjiang to enjoy the scenery of Dongliang.

Now that everything is ready, as a result, the envoys from southern Xinjiang will not swim in the lake, so won't they waste their efforts?

In addition to thinking of this layer, the prince also thought of Jiang Meiren in the East Palace.

He has made an appointment with her to take her out of the palace today.

If the envoy from southern Xinjiang was in a hurry to go back, the matter would have to be stopped.

The envoys all said so, and Emperor Jianyuan did not force him to stay, only nodded in understanding.

Pei Xuanling pondered for a moment and thought of a compromise method.

"You are eager to return to the country, and you can understand it, but the cruise ship can't be delayed for much time, and by the way, you can still take the waterway, and let the Ministry of Rites send you out of the capital, so... It can be regarded as a sightseeing trip, what do you think? ”
