Chapter 2 The Palace

The guards who had already escorted him went to show the prince's token and opened the palace gate.

When He Qianwei also boarded the soft sedan chair, the group stepped into the palace unhindered.

Mama Chen followed her young lady's sedan chair, and she only felt happy in her heart. With He Qianwei's identity, he can't sit in a soft sedan chair, but he has this grace, and he will rely on it in the future.

The sedan chair man has enough strength, and when he gets up the sedan chair, he only shakes it slightly, and the walking room is even more stable, and He Qianwei, who is sitting in the sedan chair in the palace for the first time, is full of interest, and is curious about the handrail.

Xiao Zaiyang is used to walking on weekdays, but this time, considering that He Qianwei is young and has traveled a long distance, and it is not appropriate to let her ride in a sedan chair alone, she boarded the soft sedan chair together.

However, he did a better job of managing his expression, and he didn't take out half of his eyes, until a eunuch came up next to the sedan chair.

The name of the person who came was Ji Xiu, who originally worked in the Yuan Harem, and was later pointed out by the emperor to the East Palace as a steward eunuch. Previously, Xiao Zaiyang hurriedly went out of the palace to pick up He Qianwei and left him in the palace, but now he obviously has something to say.

Xiao Zaiyang turned to the side cooperatively, listened to Ji Xiu's report, and said with a cold voice: "I don't know if there are guests, I just cleaned Duyue Xuan in a hurry and invited the girl to move in, and then move to other palaces in the future?" ”

"Yes." Ji Xiudao, "Your Majesty is busy with affairs, and Miss He's affairs in the palace will be handed over to Concubine Rong." Your Highness remembered this matter today, and the servant sent someone to ask, and this is the reply from there. ”

"More than a few months have passed since the Battle of Wancheng, and it was not a whim for my father to decide to bring the general's orphan into the palace, he had already told Concubine Rong in advance, but now he said that he didn't know about it?" Xiao Zaiyang's anger surged into his heart, he really couldn't imagine that there were such bold people in the palace!

Today's Yuji has been in the past ten years, and it is the dying country, but with the talent of the world, it has swept away the traitors and villains in the harem step by step, and the Great Apocalypse is even more revival. If there was such a short-sighted person in the early years, Xiao Zaiyang would not have suffered losses, but now that the imperial power is stable, how can there still be people who disobey the yang?

"An Lehou has raised a good daughter." After all, the prince who was an emperor from elementary school, Xiao Zaiyang quickly adjusted his mood and knocked on the handrail on the sedan chair, the meaning of which was unclear.

Concubine Rong's mother family is Anle Houfu. However, she is only the daughter of the side branch, and she once borrowed the east wind of the daughter of the powerful minister to enter the draft and was included in the harem.

This matter probably has nothing to do with An Lehou, after all, just listening to the title, you can know that this person is a pleasure-minded, and he has never found trouble for anyone in the most difficult times in the past, let alone participated in the battle for succession, which gradually emerged later, and the emperor has a little blue eyes, and he deliberately takes care of it to appease the old ministers.

However, Concubine Rong thought that she had done a foolish thing, and let An Lehou know that she was afraid that she would be so angry that she beat her chest, and she just hated not being able to share the table with her.

Ji Xiu was a little pitiful and good-tempered An Lehou, but his face was silent and he didn't say a word.

"Father, is the emperor still in the Qinzheng Palace tonight?" Xiao Zaiyang asked.

Ji Xiu said: "Gonggong Tang said so during the day, and he also asked His Highness if he would use it with His Majesty for dinner. ”

Xiao Zaiyang sighed. He mostly had to accompany He Qianwei for dinner, and most of the time he couldn't go, but since his father wanted to approve the folds, it would be almost impossible to go back later.

"I won't go to dinner." Xiao Zaiyang said, "Tell Gonggong Tang that I have something to ask my godfather emperor tonight." ”

It's about to sue.

Ji Xiu thought, Your Majesty really loves and spoils His Royal Highness, and I am afraid that there is no prince in the world who is so comfortable.

Ji Xiu respectfully responded, and listened to Xiao Zaiyang's instructions: "Go to the East Palace for dinner first, and tell the palace people to clean the Yaoguang Palace." ”

Yaoguang Hall is the palace built by the founding emperor for his sister, the materials are exquisite, the scale is no less than the Fengqi Palace where the queen lives, and even comparable to the emperor's house, which has always been distributed to the most favored princess.

Now there is only one son under his knees, and he is named the prince, so he naturally wants to go to the East Palace; As for the harem that has not come out for many years, I can't find anyone to live in, I thought that the Yaoguang Palace would be empty for a long time, but today I accidentally bumped into a new master.

- If Concubine Rong doesn't be a demon this time, Xiao Zaiyang has no reason to refute her arrangement openly, and although the emperor can, he won't lose face for the concubine for this trivial matter.

But it's not important, there must be an aftermath that makes Concubine Rong uncomfortable.

Ji Xiu was ordered to leave, and the prince's guard of honor headed towards the East Palace.

Mama Chen, who had been observing carefully, recognized that this was the way to the East Palace, and she was inevitably a little apprehensive in her heart, could it be that Your Majesty didn't see them?

Although Mama Chen can be regarded as reliable, she still doesn't know much about the court after all, and she subconsciously wants to look at Qingyu, so she can control herself at the last moment.

She comforted herself that the prince's position was stable, and there was not much difference between the prince's personal welcome and His Majesty's summons.

In the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor finished approving a pile of folds and was relaxing and wanted to take a break.

Tang Zhengde, the chief eunuch, served tea with his vision.

The emperor took it, drank the tea, and opened his mouth when he put the cup back: "How is the prince today?" ”

Without waiting for the other party to reply, the emperor said to himself: "I suddenly came to me to ask for leave, saying that I was going to stop my class for a day to pick up the girl from the He family, but I didn't even see him on my birthday in the past!" ”

The emperor originally wanted to go by himself, but he was intercepted by the prince halfway, so he had to sit back to the Qinzheng Hall and continue to approve the folds.

Tang Zhengde knew where His Majesty's words came from, and replied with a smile: "Your Highness knows Your Majesty's high expectations, and you have not slackened for a day, and you have taken the initiative to share your Majesty's worries, who doesn't praise the prince when you see it?" ”

He then replied to the conversation between Xiao Zaiyang and Ji Xiu at the palace gate today, and at the same time quickly changed a cup of tea with his hands and feet.

"Concubine Rong." The emperor turned this person out of his memory, originally thinking that he would appease the old ministers to give her some decency, but who knew that he was a fool.

"That's when the little rabbit can think of me." After the emperor scolded with a smile, he had an idea in his heart: "Later, you will go to Zhaochun Palace for a trip, and tomorrow I will give a gift to An Lehou." ”

There are seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, and if one concubine is not well managed, there can always be a good one.

When the sky is dark, the East Palace is lit with lights, and clusters of sparks are lit up one after another, illuminating the interior brightly, and the figures are clearly visible.

Usually at this time, Xiao Zaiyang would go to the Qinzheng Palace to contact the emperor with the father-son relationship, but today he sat firmly in the main hall. He was only dressed in a bamboo-blue regular clothes, with a green hairpin pinned to the back of his head to fix his hairstyle, two strands of hair fell on his chest, and bangs were combed on his forehead.

Xiao Zaiyang has been learning etiquette in the palace since he was a child, even if he is sitting on pins and needles at this moment, he can't see anything unusual at all.

This also directly caused He Qianwei's heart to turn over the flower rope was still full of enthusiasm, and brought the frightened Qingyu and Mama Chen to point to the red rope hanging between Xiao Zaiyang's fingers and chatter.

Qingyu is better, gritted her teeth and survived, after all, the emperor and the crown prince had no less conflicts in the past, and she couldn't escape the activities under the noses of the two big Buddhas; In comparison, Mama Chen was much more panicked, and she couldn't find a reason to persuade her own young lady, so she could only listen to He Qianwei complain that the prince's skills in turning the flower rope were too poor, and she had to teach her step by step, which was much less fun.

Ji Xiu lowered his eyebrows and shrank in a corner, trying his best to hide his sense of existence, fortunately, Miss He thought he was clumsy and sent people away at the beginning.

Your Highness's excitement is not so pretty.

Ji Xiu shook his head, gave the palace maid standing next to him a look, and quietly withdrew with the other party.

After a while, the person who went out returned to the hall, Ji Xiu first asked An to interrupt He Qianwei's train of thought, and then immediately pushed it away to let the palace maid open her mouth and smiled: "Your Highness, the end of the Yaoguang Palace has been cleaned, and the slave maid took it upon herself to ask the girl, can you go and see if there is anything you are dissatisfied with?" ”

Xiao Zaiyang immediately broke free of the red rope in his hand as if he had been amnestied, and changed the topic without a trace by the east wind.

"Yaoguang Hall is only a few steps away from the East Palace, go and see it first?"

He Qianwei was feeling a little bored, and when she heard this, she changed her interest and asked, "Is Yaoguang Hall where I want to live in the future?" Can Mama Chen live with me too? ”

"Yes." Xiao Zaiyang stood up first, slowly straightened out the temporarily requisitioned red rope into his sleeve, and replied to her in a warm voice, "Naturally, you can go wherever you want, and you will be in charge of the Yaoguang Palace in the future." ”

"Then I'm going!"

"I'll send you." Xiao Zaiyang said, "When the time comes, I will take a good walk in the Yaoguang Palace, and tell the palace people what I want to add and replace, how comfortable I am, just like at home." ”

He Qianwei said: "Is Your Highness going to watch it with me?" ”

Xiao Zaiyang was stunned when he heard this, and then declined the invitation with a smile: "I won't accompany you much when I get to Yaoguang Palace, I have to go to see my father first." ”

He Qianwei expressed some loss at this, but suddenly realized: "In the past, I had to go to my father every day to test my homework, and His Royal Highness couldn't escape it." She looked at Xiao Zaiyang with a sympathetic gaze, and comforted the other party with eloquent words.

Xiao Zaiyang couldn't smile bitterly, and said yes, and when he saw the little girl leading Mama Chen into the Yaoguang Palace, he immediately turned around and went to the Qinzheng Hall with Qingyu and Ji Xiu.

The emperor, who was still doing his best for the Great Apocalypse, threw the pen when he saw him, and said: "The prince has finished turning over the flower rope, can he remember your lonely father?" ”

When the prince mentioned this, his face darkened, and he sat directly on the chair of the head of the head without paying a word.

The emperor didn't let him get his way: "Otherwise, I'll find a folk craftsman, and I won't fall behind when I encounter this matter next time." ”

"Father!"

"Why are you in such a hurry to say a few words?" The emperor seemed to roll his eyes and beckoned Xiao Zaiyang to come to his side.

Xiao Zaiyang reluctantly paced over, thinking that if he was ridiculed again, he would turn around and leave, without hesitation.

The emperor didn't hold on anymore, and said: "If you don't want me, I won't force me to learn, maybe I'll have to study by myself in the future, where can I be this wicked person." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Zaiyang to speak, he quickly changed the topic: "However, it doesn't matter if you don't attend class occasionally, it's just that you can't escape some things that should come." ”

Xiao Zaiyang's face was expressionless: "I'm still young, and I haven't eaten for more than ten years before I can help you approve the fold." ”
