A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 122

Concubine Xu was abolished, and even her name was removed from the royal genealogy. On the day of her burial, only a few low-level officials from the Ministry of Rites were responsible for her funeral.

In fact, if it were not because the emperor did not show aversion to the king, perhaps she would not even have the qualifications to be buried in the mausoleum.

Wang Huai understood that, intellectually, he should not go to the funeral of his mother and concubine.

But on the eve of the mother’s concubine’s burial, he remembered time and time again, when the concubine was confined in the hidden mansion, the mother concubine disliked him for eating too much and was stupid, and allocated the food in the bowl to him.

Early the next morning, he changed into plain linen, took off the golden crown, and replaced it with burlap. Princess Huai saw all this in her eyes and didn’t stop her.

Standing on the upper floor of the palace, Jiuzhu saw Wang Huai supporting the coffin of Concubine Xu and walking out of the side back door of the palace.

The master told her that after arriving in the capital, if there are some things that cannot be understood, it depends on whom the final outcome of the event is beneficial.

She thought that Concubine Xu was ruthless and cruel to the pregnant king, but after her death, everyone accused her and sympathized with the poor pregnant king. No one will make a fuss about Wang Huai’s life experience, and he will not impose the crime committed by Concubine Xu on Wang Huai.

Her evil proved the innocence of Wang Huai.

Jiuzhu glanced at Wang Huai in the funeral procession again. At this moment, she really hoped that Concubine Xu would treat Wang Huai with kindness and love before her death.

Perhaps only Xu Fei understood the truth.

And she is just a spectator.

“Little pig.” Wang Chen climbed up the steps and walked to Jiu Zhu’s side: “Looking at Xu’s funeral procession?”

Jiuzhu nodded: “Big Brother is helping his mother with the coffin.”

Wang Chen did not speak, but reached out to pinch the bun on Jiuzhu’s head.

“His Royal Highness, you pinch my hair again.” Jiuzhu looked at him suspiciously: “The grand ceremony of the canonization of the prince is coming soon, Your Highness, are you… nervous?”

“Just kidding, how could I be nervous.” Wang Chen denied it: “Your Royal Highness grew up in Beijing. He hasn’t seen anything before. How can I be nervous because of the canonized prince ceremony?”

“Okay.” Jiuzhu reached out and took off the hairpin from the bun, and put his head on Wang Chen’s chest: “Pinch it for you, whatever you want.”

“I am luckier than my father.” Wang Chen pressed her into his arms: “I met you when I was young.”

“His Royal Highness is wrong.” Jiuzhu stretched out her white fingers and shook it in front of Wang Chen, and opposed his statement: “Fortunately it is me.”

Wang Chen gave a low laugh. He was young and frivolous, and he did everything according to his preferences and never considered the consequences.

But now he wants to be the best person in Jiuzhu’s heart.

Because he didn’t want this girl who was full of expectations and rushed to him, thinking that her highness, who would shine in her heart, became mottled, and he didn’t want to destroy the beauty in her heart completely.

Some people always say that love is to tear the most unbearable self to the other person.

He didn’t understand. After tearing it apart, he was happy and happy, but would that person who was full of expectations be lost and sad?

Why can’t love mean trying to be the best in the other’s heart?

His little pig is so stupid and naive, his eyes are full of light.

What a beast does he have to be willing to dim the light in her eyes?

Under the shadow of the tree in the palace building, Wei Jieyu looked up at Yun Duqing and Ming Jiuzhu who were cuddling together, and stopped.

“I heard that the Xu family was defeated by the Queen and Princess Chen?” Wei Jieyu turned to look at Princess Jing with low eyebrows: “You can go back to your family’s house in the next few days and talk to your family about this. “

Concubine Jing was silent for a moment: “Mother concubine, the uncle and Xu’s past are just impulsive when they were young, and there has been no contact in these years.”

“When did I say that they are still in contact.” Wei Jieyu put her hand on her daughter-in-law’s wrist: “You are bored, and you tend to think too much. As a prince, this is not good.”

“Mother concubine taught me the truth.” Princess Jing dropped her head lower.

Wei Jieyu is satisfied with her obedient and obedient: “Of the five princes, you and the princess are the only ones who are virtuous, and the other princes and concubines are nothing.”

Princess An is frivolous, the four princes and concubines fly alone in a disaster, and the princess Chen looks too naive. If you are a prince, you will regret it sooner or later.

“Daughter-in-law is ashamed.”

“Don’t be ashamed.” Wei Jieyu’s stern face had a slightly indifferent smile: “My palace is very satisfied with you.”

“The weather is fine today, so you will go back to your natal house in the afternoon.”

“Yes.”

Princess Jing returned to her natal house and stayed at her natal house for nearly an hour before waiting for Du Qingke’s return.

He was dressed in plain clothes and a silver hairpin tie. Seeing her only gave a few words, he sat next to him and said nothing.

“Master, you have stains on your robe, take it off and change it.” Madam Du saw the stains on his clothes and spoke actively: “I will let the servant change you a bright dress…”

“No.” Du Qingke raised his eyelids and said lightly: “I don’t like bright clothes in the past few days.”

“Okay.” Madam Du smiled awkwardly, and stopped mentioning changing clothes.

The second elder of the Du family and the second wife sat beside their daughter Jing Wang, pretending not to see this scene, and asked her daughter how to live in the palace, alleviating the embarrassment in the atmosphere.

“Fathers and mothers, please rest assured that everything is fine for your daughter in the palace.” Princess Jing took a sip of her tea: “I just didn’t expect that the five younger siblings seem innocent and kind, and they will get rid of their opponents, but they are merciless.”

“Where do you start?” Father Du frowned: “Then you stay away from her.”

“Concubine Xu passed away. Everything was kept simple in the funeral. Not only was there no title, but even the name was removed from the royal genealogy.” Princess Jing sighed, “In the eyes of outsiders, it might be because Concubine Xu did something to offend your majesty. In fact, he was forced to death by Ming Jiuzhu and Su Empress.”

Du Qingke looked up at Princess Jing.

Realizing that the uncle had noticed what she was saying, Princess Jing struck while the iron was hot: “I don’t know what tactics used by Empress Su and Ming Jiuzhu to lure Concubine Xu into the plot. They took the opportunity to force Concubine Xu to confess all the guilt, and in the end they could only choose to commit suicide.”

“Queen Su… still have these other methods?” Du Qingke touched the mutton jade match on her waist, smiled inexplicably, and said: “It’s not early, and the niece is a princess. I’m afraid I can’t stay outside the palace? “

“I didn’t expect it to be so late.” Princess Jing stood up: “Thank you, uncle for reminding me, I should go back to the palace.”

“Please.” Du Qingke sent Princess Jing onto the carriage, turned around and took off the silver hairpin, and threw it under the tree roots blankly.

“Master.” Madam Du bent down and picked up the silver hairpin: “If you are tired all day, go back to your house and rest.”

Du Qingke looked at her palm, frowned, said nothing, and turned back to the yard.

“The five princes and concubines have such tactics, and her master must come from an extraordinary origin.”

He called a counselor: “Check the origins of the five princes and two masters.”

As long as a person has appeared in the world, he will leave clues, unless he falls from the sky.

“His Royal Highness, you should get up and change your clothes.”

Before dawn, King Chen was awakened by the palace man. He glanced at Jiuzhu who was sleeping soundly while holding the quilt, and stretched out his hand to pinch her nose.

“His Royal Highness.” Jiuzhu sat up in a daze and looked out the window: “It’s still dark, let me sleep for a while.” After finishing speaking, she hugged the quilt and fell on the bed.

“Hey!” Wang Chen stretched out his hand to embrace her waist: “Today is the canonized prince ceremony, you have to accompany me.”

“You lied to me.” Jiuzhu tried to open her sleepy eyes wide: “I have seen the process of the canonization ceremony arranged by the Ministry of Rites. The canonization of the prince does not require the presence of the princess.”

“That’s the old prince, I’m different.” Wang Chen bent over and kissed her cheek: “Becoming a prince is a great responsibility and very meaningful. Without you by my side, my heart would always feel missing. what.”

I became a better me for you.

So I also hope that you will be with you at important moments.

“Okay.” Jiuzhu threw the quilt aside, jumped out of the bed, and grabbed Wang Chen’s hand: “I’ll be with you.”

Yang Yiduo, who was waiting next to him, wanted to say that this was not in compliance.

But looking at His Royal Highness and the prince concubine, who were bent over and put on shoes, head to head, he swallowed the words back.

The dragon and phoenix who greeted the prince drove outside the Kylin Palace. Under the surprised eyes of the courtesy officer, the king took Jiuzhu and got into the chariot together.

Facing the different moods of courtesy officials, Wang Chen was very confident.

There are dragons and phoenixes on it. What’s the problem with the prince sitting with the princess?

The ceremonial officials were only astonished for a moment, and then they accepted Chen Wang’s behavior.

At the beginning of the marriage, His Royal Highness Chen had surprised them very much, but now it is just taking the future prince to take the dragon and the phoenix together. What is it?

The bottom line is for lowering and breaking.

The dragon and the phoenix stopped at Zhengyang Hall, where the king Chen wanted to change the prince’s clothes and put on the dragon-patterned prince’s robe.

“Little pig.” The prince put on his robe, and he waved back to the courtier who was wearing a four-claw dragon jade pendant, and stretched out his hand to Jiuzhu: “You come and tie it to me, okay.”

“Okay.” Jiuzhu walked to him, preparing to follow the manner of an official of courtesy, half squatting down to tie the jade pendant for him, but he stretched out his hand to support his arm.

“Don’t squat, just tie it like this.” He bent down, so that the Jiuzhu, which was shorter by a head, was as tall as him: “You and I are husband and wife.”

“Hurry up.” He took the opportunity to squeeze Jiuzhu’s face: “The golden crown on my head is heavy, I am very tired when I bend over.”

Jiuzhu smiled softly, and solemnly tied the jade pendant for him.

The two had their eyes facing each other. King Chen stood up straight, turned around and took out a nine-tailed flying phoenix Zhengchai from the box, and put his hands on Jiuzhu’s bun.

“Is it sinking?” he asked.

“Shen.” Jiuzhu nodded, and the phoenix wings fluttered gently.

“Shen is right.” Wang Chen held her hand and whispered in her ear: “The crown princess’s phoenix crown is heavier than this. For the sake of your brain, I deliberately replaced the phoenix crown with a nine-tailed phoenix. hairpin.”

Jiuzhu narrowed her eyes with a smile. She stood on tiptoe and reached out to help Wang Chen to support the golden crown: “His Royal Highness, today is also very beautiful.”

“go.”

“Where to go?”

“Go to the main hall of Zhengyang Hall.”

The ceremonial officer opened the door for the two and watched them walk towards the main hall hand in hand.

“My lord, this is not compliant, do you want to…”

“Hush.” ​​Another courtesy officer whispered: “The prince has even taken the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin that can only be worn by the princess, indicating that your majesty and the empress are also aware of this.”

His Majesty and Queen have no opinion, they can have an opinion.

They are members of the Ministry of Ritual, and the prince is the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Ritual. They are determined not to embarrass themselves, not to mention that the emperor, the queen and the prince are willing to do so.

The main gate of Zhengyang Hall opens, and hundreds of civil and military officials are neatly arranged on both sides, and the emperor sits high on the top.

The edict for the crown prince was read by an old prince of the royal family and the official minister Ming Jinghai.

“Respectfully invite the prince, the princess enters the hall.”

All civil and military officials all turned sideways and saluted at the door.

Yun Duqing, dressed in a four-claw dragon-patterned prince robe, and Ming Jiuzhu, dressed in a prince’s phoenix robe, stepped into the hall hand in hand.

It wasn’t that their ears had a problem just now. It turned out that the prince really brought the prince with the concubine at the canonization ceremony.

This is the first case of the Dacheng Dynasty!
