The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant - Chapter 129
Chu Jinyao came out of Kunning Palace and walked directly to Ciqing Palace without talking or laughing. Linglong didn’t have any thoughts of joking, until they walked into Ciqing Palace, Linglong dared to ask questions: “Prince, the queen…what will the emperor do?”
Who knows, the emperor said that he had his own decision, but the honest officials kept doing their own affairs, just because no matter how clear and bright people are, they will be blinded by emotions, and the emperor is not a clear person.
Linglong and Dingxiang also realized that this momentum was very unfavorable to them. Dingxiang couldn’t help but said: “The princess has already put out all the evidence. The Qiu Shuang’s words are obviously suspicious. Why doesn’t the emperor believe in the princess?”
“It’s not that he doesn’t believe in me, he doesn’t believe in power.” Chu Jinyao said as she entered the door, looked up, and was shocked, “His Royal Highness, why are you back?”
Qin Yi was reading a book in the east, and when he heard the movement, he put down the book and walked out. As if the situation in the past was reversed, Chu Jinyao could not count how many times she went to the door to greet Qin Yi, but it was rare that Qin Yi came back before her.
Seeing the prince, Linglong’s maids quickly unloaded Chu Jinyao’s heavy clothes outside, and then bowed their heads and walked back. Chu Jinyao sat with Qin Yi in the east room, and Qin Yi asked, “I heard from Xiao Linzi that you went to Kunning Palace. How’s it going?”
Chu Jinyao shook his head. Qin Yi was not surprised by the result. He smiled casually and comforted Chu Jinyao: “Don’t care too much, just do your best.”
How Chu Jinyao didn’t know the truth of doing everything to do with the destiny, but the reason why the great principle is the great principle is because everyone can say it, but not a few people can do it.
Chu Jinyao came into contact with his calm eyes, and felt unhappy for some reason. No one was born with an iron-hearted heart, and Qin Yi has become such a kind and calm appearance now, I am afraid the emperor has made a great contribution.
Chu Jinyao’s tone couldn’t help but soften: “His Royal Highness, since you are back, why not go to Kunning Palace?”
“I went, the situation will only get worse.” Qin Yi said this sentence very calmly, as early as when he ordered the refusal to negotiate peace, or earlier, when he was in charge of the country, he had already expected this day. .
Since ancient times, emperors have been fortunate, the most ruthless emperor. The prince of every dynasty and every generation can’t escape the end of suspicion, and he is the same. There are many flaws in the situation of Concubine Shu, but as Chu Jinyao said, a person will only see what he wants to see, otherwise, even if Chu Jinyao and Qin Yi put these under the emperor’s eyes, he would ignore it.
Up to now, it is no longer the question of Empress Xiaoqi’s death. This is the question of the emperor’s willingness to believe that Qin Yi is still King Su.
Qin Yi didn’t care much. Instead, he looked at Chu Jinyao’s belly very carefully: “Your belly is getting bigger and bigger. Although it is stable for four to eight months, you can’t work too hard. What are they willing to do? So be it, you just care about raising the baby without worrying about them.”
Chu Jinyao also felt annoying, she was just a little regretful, and it seemed that she could only let it go for the time being. Chu Jinyao was about to say something to Qin Yi, but suddenly looked startled, and then said to Qin Yi in surprise, “Come on, he is moving again!”
Qin Yi was also refreshed. Since entering the first month, the fetal movement has become more and more obvious. Qin Yi had heard Chu Jinyao say that the child would kick her, but because of his busy political affairs, he had no chance of seeing her until everything settled in the first month. It also became more frequent that Qin Yi personally felt the fetal movement.
The first time Qin Yi touched the fetal movement, he was deeply surprised. Now, he once again put his hand on Chu Jinyao’s belly, still feeling incredible. There is a child who has the blood of him and Chu Jinyao. , In three months, he will be able to come out.
The child seems to feel that his parents are not in a high mood, and is now trying to show his sense of existence. Chu Jinyao smiled lightly: “Did you hear that too? I’m blaming us for neglecting you again. When you come out, Beijing happens to be the spring season, when my mother will take you to see the peach blossoms. You must like it.”
Qin Yi softened his expression unknowingly, yes, his most precious gift is about to come in spring.
In Qianqing Palace, the emperor felt that the emperor’s sleep was empty for the first time when facing the palace made of gold carvings and jade.
Obviously only a few months have passed, but the emperor deeply felt that he was getting old.
This feeling became more obvious when he saw the six Shangshu who came to play.
Today’s six skeletons were all promoted by Qin Yi during the war, and the whole court said it was a big change of blood. Even the emperor’s familiar faces could not be seen anymore.
If the emperor was willing to think about it, he would be able to think that the reason he could no longer see his familiar faces was because these high-ranking officials died in the Xuanfu Incident.
However, the emperor only sighed and didn’t think deeply. He called an official from the Ministry of Rites to express his thoughts: “The queen has been with me for fifteen years and has given birth to a son and a daughter for me. She is so much younger than me. But I left early. I didn’t rush back to see her for the last time, so I had to do more to compensate her in the funeral. The queen’s funeral should be handled well.”
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites and his deputy minister looked at each other, both showing embarrassment. The Book of Etiquette took a step forward, and asked, “Your Majesty, what do you mean by comparison with what you are talking about?”
The emperor felt that this question was inexplicable: “At least it can’t be worse than Wen Xiao. The two of them are compatriots and sisters. There is no priority, just follow Wen Xiao’s original specifications.”
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette has become more and more embarrassed, not to mention Xiaoqi as a successor, the funeral specifications and the eldest sister and the queen of the Yuan Dynasty are not in line with the etiquette, just talk about the eight years of Jianxing and the current state of the country.
In the eighth year of Jianxing, the world was peaceful and the treasury was abundance. As the mother of the emperor’s eldest son, Empress Wenxiao had no problem with her success, but now? Empress Xiaoqi violated the taboos of the ministers and indirectly killed many people, and the whole country almost couldn’t sustain it. Nowadays, the city has just been rebuilt and the capital has just been rebuilt. It is just when it is necessary to cultivate a healthy life, but spend most of the treasury’s money on the funeral for Xiaoqi?
Not to mention whether the cabinet and the Ministry of Households can agree, even the full-time ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of national sacrifices, would not be willing to such a thing.
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites was silent and said silently. The emperor was very surprised when he saw this. He is a dignified emperor, and now he just wants his unidentified wife who has been with him for many years to have a decent funeral. Isn’t that all right?
The emperor’s face was also pulled down.
Fortunately, not long after the stalemate, the **** reported to the king that he had come. The Book of Rites took the opportunity to retire. When he went out, the Book of Rites saw King Su and stood and saluted King Su: “His Royal Highness.”
“Shang Shu doesn’t have to be polite.”
The emperor is still inside. This is not an occasion for greetings. After a brief greeting, the two parties say goodbye to each other. When he passed by, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites saw a thin scholar in a green shirt. His appearance was the same as that of a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam. But being able to appear in such a place meant that he would not be an ordinary scholar.
The Book of Etiquette did not pay much attention to this person. At this time, he just regarded the scholar in Qingshan as an ordinary close minister. The emperor was also a human being, and he always had preferences and intimacy.
King Su and Fang Pucun walked to the inner hall and bowed to salute: “See the emperor.”
The emperor finally saw a familiar face, and he cordially said to Pu Cun, “Are you still used to living in the capital?”
When the emperor returned from Wala, he naturally brought out the great hero Fang Pucun. The emperor firmly remembered that period of time. The Yihe envoys deliberately delayed the time, and the attitude of the Vara people became worse and worse. Fang Pucun was able to deal with him and rescued him. Seeing Fang Pucun now, the emperor couldn’t express the kindness in his heart.
“Your Majesty, everything is fine with the minister.”
King Su asked with concern: “Father, you caught the cold in Wara. After you come back, can you call an emperor to see it?”
Of course, the Ping An Mai had been invited long ago. The emperor’s body was fine, but because of the fright this winter, and the cold winter outside the Great Wall was no better than the ground dragon burning everywhere in the palace, the emperor inevitably lost his body, and his foundation was a little weak. The emperor drank medicine every few days. Hearing King Su’s greetings, the emperor’s heart surged, and his eyes became kind: “The emperor has been here, so it’s just that. It’s you, who always remembers. My body has a heart.”
King Su traveled thousands of miles away to personally **** the emperor back to Beijing, and the emperor now looks at this son with admiration. Qin Yi is the prince, naturally attracting many eyes, he shines everywhere, and the third prince is the son of Xiaoqi empress, with the help of Xiaoqi empress, the emperor also favors the younger son a bit, so as the second son of King Su Is the most neglected. The emperor discovered only now that the second son was originally a heroic and upright, handsome man, and what was especially rare was that he was extremely pure and filial.
King Su lowered his head and humbly said: “The father is absurd, and the children have no talents and ambitions. All he wants is to live his life safely. It is the duty of the children to do filial piety for the father, and the children do not care. How can my father’s body do trivial things and talk about filial piety compared to the emperor’s brother who shared the grief for his father.”
The emperor’s face fell cold, and he remembered that since his return, Qin Yi didn’t seem to have taken the initiative to ask Ann. Last time, Qin Yi followed a large group of courtiers and asked perfunctorily and officially, and then went to the Wenhua Palace to handle government affairs. Moreover, the emperor slowly discovered one thing, Qin Yi refused to call Xiaoqihou his mother, and he had never called him his father. Whether publicly or privately, Qin Yi always calls him “Your Majesty.”
King Su didn’t seem to notice the emperor’s face, and he still stood respectfully. Fang Pucun looked at it and said, “Your Majesty, you are in poor health now. It is when you need your children to help you. But the prince is busy with political affairs, I am afraid I can’t spare much time.”
King Su immediately took a step forward and saluted: “The sons and ministers are willing to serve the emperor and share worries for the emperor.”
The emperor thought for a while, and said, “After all, you already have a family. It would not be a good thing to leave the princess in Qingyang for a long time. Let’s wait for the weather to get warmer in a few days, and let the princess Su come with you.”
King Su was overjoyed and bowed and said, “Thank you, Father.”
The emperor continued to talk to Fang Pucun, and King Su waited for a while and took the opportunity to leave. Before leaving, Fang Pucun and King Su’s eyes met quickly, and they moved away as if nothing had happened.
Adult princes are not allowed to stay in the capital. As a man, King Su is much more convenient whether he is a fief or returns to the capital, but if the emperor asks Princess Su to move back to the capital, it means different.
The female relatives are also there, which at least shows that the emperor intends to let King Su stay in the capital for a while.
The father and son’s suspicion has reached the point where there is no need to conceal it.
