Chapter 309: Festival returns to Sulou Town
Probably afraid that something would happen to the emperor because of him, Ji Qirui hurriedly admitted his mistake and said, "Father, the son knows that he is wrong, don't hurt the dragon body." Otherwise, let alone his position as the crown prince, even his life may not be guaranteed. So no matter what, he can't let the emperor have an accident because of himself.
Shu Rong heard the movement and hurriedly came from outside with warm water and medicine, and when she saw the emperor sitting on the chair to ease up, she turned to Ji Qirui and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has been chest tightness and shortness of breath recently, and the Imperial Doctor said don't get angry, you better go back first." When Your Majesty is better, it will be good for you to come and see you again." If Ji Qirui continues to stay here, I'm afraid the emperor will have to be angry with him.
Ji Qirui knew the severity, so he went down the steps given by Shu Rong, bowed and retreated and left the palace in a carriage.
The emperor looked at his departing back, coughing continuously, but he looked much better, took the water handed by Shu Rong and drank it, and said, "Why did this prince become the way he is now?" I remember that when I was a child, Ji Qirui was very smart, filial and sensible, and promised Xiao Xirou, which allowed the emperor to make him the crown prince, but I didn't expect that as he grew up, he became what he is now, which is really unexpected, especially the emperor who cultivated him with his heart.
Shu Rong couldn't comment on Ji Qirui in a rebellious way, although he had already figured out the reason in his heart, he couldn't say it, so he comforted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, this world is unpredictable, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a moment of confusion, as long as he understands these truths, he will be lost, and he will not be wrong again and again." After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is your flesh and blood, how can he not be of the same heart as you?"
The Emperor sighed and replied, "Maybe it's really not the same heart as me." After all, he grew up beside Xiao Xirou since he was a child, and his eyes are full of those so-called fame, fortune and interpersonal relationships, and the family affection between them is just profitable, I thought that his teaching could make Ji Qirui go to these, but after all, he was wrong, so he is such a prince, how to govern the country in the future? How can I trust him with peace of mind?
Now all that is left for the emperor is remorse and melancholy.
Shu Rong wanted to speak and stopped, and stopped speaking for the emperor.
Regent's Palace.
"Second brother!"
Ji Changye was fiddling with the newly delivered bonsai in the front hall, and suddenly saw Ji Qimu walking in, looking hurried as if there was something important, so he hurriedly put down his things and asked him, "What's wrong?" Don't worry."
"Second brother, you misunderstood, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing." Ji Qimu looked around cautiously, and then pulled Ji Changye to the hidden place in the backyard to tell the story of Ji Qirui being impeached by the ministers and reprimanded by the emperor.
Seeing that Ji Qirui has now become the target of public criticism, Ji Qimu can be regarded as having a bad breath, not to mention how hearty it is in his heart.
And these things have long been expected by Ji Changye, so he was not as happy as Ji Qimu imagined, and after asking, he learned that this was Ji Changye's plan, Ji Qimu couldn't help but admire Ji Changye: "My Majesty didn't expect that you still have this hand, second brother."
At the beginning, the emperor and Ji Changye joined forces just to get rid of the power of the queen mother's family and let Xiao Jia'an guard himself, but he didn't expect Ji Changye to secretly move his mind to make Ji Qirui mess up, and pushing the boat down the river attracted the emperor's disgust and reprimand. In this way, you will not be discovered, but you can also achieve your own goals, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
At this time, Song Qian came with tea.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Ji Qimu thanked him after taking the teacup.
Song Qian replied, "The Ten Princes are polite."
Ji Changye took the tea tray in his hand for Song Qian: "Just let the people below do these things, why bother to make a trip?" He didn't know how many times he asked Song Qian not to do these rough jobs, so as not to be hard and injured, but Song Qian didn't listen, which really made Ji Changye a little sad.
Seeing Ji Changye talking about this matter again, Song Qian hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Lord, I came here to discuss something with you, I don't know if it disturbed you and the Ten Princes." She walked to the door only to find that the two were talking, so she brought the plate in the hands of her subordinates, and took this opportunity to talk to Ji Changye about what she had been thinking about in the past few days
Something to be examined.
Ji Qimu had already finished what he wanted to say, so he spoke: "Don't bother, second sister-in-law, if you have anything, just tell the second brother, I happen to be leaving."
"Ten princes, eat hot pot at night, why don't you stay." Song Qian opened his mouth to keep Ji Qimu.
The other party and Ji Changye glanced at each other and agreed.
Ji Changye asked, "Song Niangzi, what do you want to say to me?" He faintly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion, so Ji Changye's expression was worried.
Seeing this, Song Qian hurriedly explained to him, "It's not a big deal, so I want to take the ingots back to Sulou Town to have a look, after all, it's been out for so long, and there are still some things to deal with there, and I'll come back when I'm done." She can't just leave those things in Sulou Town all the time, can she?
Ji Changye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he thought it was something important, it turned out that he just wanted to go back to Sulou Town, thinking that he couldn't restrict Song Qian, so Ji Changye agreed and replied: "Since Song Niangzi wants to go back, then I will arrange a carriage and an entourage tomorrow morning to go back with you, and then escort you and Yuanbao back when things are dealt with, why don't you let Changfeng follow."
"There are also a lot of things going on in the imperial capital, so let Changfeng stay by your side, Lord Wang, and you don't need to follow such a big battle with your entourage, you only need one person to follow, after all, we won't stay there for too long, let's keep a low profile." Song Qian said after thinking carefully.
Ji Changye couldn't resist her, so she could only agree, but she still insisted on sending a few more secret guards to watch, and Song Qian also agreed.
In the early morning of the next day, Ji Changye sent Song Qian and Yuan Bao to the carriage prepared at the door and instructed, "Song Niangzi, be careful all the way, if you arrive in Sulou Town, let someone deliver me a letter back." so that he can be reassured.
"I know, Lord Wang, go back quickly, it's windy this morning, and you're sick again if you wear so little." Song Qian and Yuanbao got into the carriage one after another, and then opened the curtain and said to Ji Changye.
However, Ji Changye still insisted on watching the carriage leave, and then reluctantly returned to the palace, and there were many tricky things he had to face, especially the prince's affairs.
Dijing is not very far from Sulou Town, but it is still a little far away, so after four hours of rushing, I finally arrived at Sulou Town, which is no different or changed from when she left.
Returning to the previous courtyard, Song Qian actually found that the lock of this courtyard was open, as if someone lived here.
"Yuanbao, you wait for your mother to kiss in the carriage." Song Qian was afraid that there would be any risks, so he left the ingots outside, and he cautiously approached the yard, but before she could push the door open, someone inside opened the door.
"Who?" The person who opened the door was a thief-eyed man, he stepped forward to look at Song Qian, and asked impatiently, because he didn't know Song Qian at all, and he wanted to send him away as some kind of strange person.
Song Qian hurriedly asked what he was thinking at the moment he closed the door, "Wasn't this Song Mansion before? Why are you here?" No one told her that something like this had happened, so if she hadn't come back suddenly, I'm afraid she would have been kept in the dark.
When the housekeeper saw that Song Qian actually knew about this matter, he understood that Song Qian's identity was not simple, so he gave enough face before saying; "What can be surprising, this house is given to our lord by the county order, saying that it is to honor our lord, but don't you live here? Do you have anything else to do? If not, get out of here." Saying that, he hurriedly went to close the door again, but Song Qian was locked out before he could stop it.
Unexpectedly, it was Zeng Kangan's hands and feet, which made Song Qian a little angry, so after settling the ingots, he came to the county mansion to ask Zeng Kangan for clarification.
"Who?" Zeng Kangan heard that someone was looking for him, and walked out of the backyard unhurriedly, and found that it was Song Qianhou and hurriedly knelt down: "Princess!" The matter of Song Qian becoming a princess has been spread all over the world, and it is difficult for him to think about it, but what he didn't expect was that Song Qian, a country woman, actually turned into a high-ranking princess.
Song Qian was in no mood to say anything else to him, and said straight to the point, "Why do you want my place to live in mine
The yard was given to others for no reason? When did you consult me about this? If I hadn't come back, I'm afraid I'd have been kept in the dark by you for the rest of my life." If Zeng Kangan discussed with her, if he had any difficulties, of course he could help him, but if he was so silent and made an assertion, Song Qian naturally did not agree.
Seeing that Song Qian already knew about this matter, Zeng Kangan immediately knelt down and explained, "The princess forgives her sins, this matter is not a small willingness. It's that person who is really a scoundrel, and when he sees your yard, he comes to the small one to ask for it, and if the small one doesn't give it, he sends someone to beat the small one, and he bothers him every day. The small one went to the emperor's capital, but the excerpt was retreated, maybe the backer behind him was too strong, and the small one had no choice." Now he touched his arm that was almost broken, and it hurt faintly.
Song Qian was skeptical when she heard this, and she didn't believe Zeng Kangan's words very much, but this statement was quite reasonable, so she thought that she would be able to make a conclusion after investigating it clearly.
Zeng Kangan realized that someone could finally stand up for himself, so he hurriedly said, "Princess, now the little one can accompany you there and ask the bully who doesn't know the height of the sky."
"Don't worry, let's investigate this person's identity first." Song Qian shook his head, after all, a person who dared to be so arrogant in broad daylight, a person who could send the excerpt back halfway, his identity was definitely not simple. My identity is not easy to be exposed, what if I encounter a thorn?
Zeng Kangan didn't dare to disobey Song Qian's words, so he agreed again and again.
After Song Qian returned to the place where he lived, he first asked someone to hand a letter to Ji Changye in the imperial capital to explain the matter, and asked Ji Changye to help investigate.
"Mother, why don't we go back to live?" Yuan Bao asked.
This made Song Qian not know how to answer for a while, he couldn't directly tell Yuanbao that it was because their place was robbed, right?
So Song Qian thought for a moment and replied, "No one has lived there for a long time, so it's very chaotic, we will be here for a few days, and we will go back when my mother finishes doing things, will Yuanbao be here for a few days?" Later, my mother will take you out to eat something delicious, okay?"
Yuan Bao nodded, and didn't think much about it.
