Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 529: Return (1)
The news of Su Guiren's miscarriage soon spread to Shouning Palace.
The Empress Dowager Zhao felt a little regretful.
A few days later, when Emperor Yongjia came to greet him, Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't help but mutter a few words: "Aijia knows that you are not happy. However, there are many ways to vent your anger. Why bother involving the child. The princes and princesses in the palace married one after another and left the palace, leaving only one little princess. The Aijia is still looking forward to another little prince..."
Emperor Yongjia's face sank.
The Empress Dowager Zhao immediately changed her tone: "Ai's family means that when the emperor is free, he will go to the harem more. Maybe in a year or two, there will be good news in the palace."
Emperor Yongjia was reluctant to talk about this, even to his own mother. Get off topic quickly.
The Queen Mother had to keep her mouth shut.
After Emperor Yongjia left, Empress Dowager Zhao sighed in front of Concubine Qin: "Now the emperor's temper is getting worse. If Aijia said a few words, he would slap his face. You said, what did Aijia say just now? What's wrong? He doesn't want to see Su Guiren, and he should wait for the child to be born before disposing of it. Then he can take it to the Aijia's Shouning Palace to raise him."
Concubine Qin thought of the gloomy look on Emperor Yongjia's face just now, and she had lingering fears, and hurriedly whispered: "The emperor is not willing to listen to this, and the empress dowager should not mention it in the future. Su Guiren has already given birth. The emperor is not happy."
The Empress Dowager Zhao snorted softly: "I don't want to mention it. The child is gone, so what's the use of talking about it."
The Empress Dowager Zhao is old and has some problems with her mouth. In half a day, I still talked a few times.
Concubine Qin patiently appeased the Queen Mother Zhao and sighed inwardly.
Su Guiren was unlucky to suffer. While she was watching the excitement, she was also a little scared. The sentimental and righteous Li Yuan in the past has completely changed into another person.
Heavenly Son of Great Wei, Tianwei is magnificent.
These days, even Concubine Meng rarely leaves the Yanxi Palace.
The palace seemed calm, but there seemed to be an invisible undercurrent surging. I don't know when the huge waves will erupt.
……
In a flash, another five days passed.
On this day, the crown prince Li Jing returned to the capital with the officials of the East Palace and a group of guards from the East Palace.
With Li Jing, there were also several prison cars. In the car were five or six prisoners, all corrupt officials from Zheng County. The people in the capital were the most lively, and they came over to watch the fun.
His Royal Highness, dressed in a bright yellow prince's uniform, rode a black horse and stepped forward under the admiration of the people.
"His Royal Highness is truly majestic!"
"It's more than that. His Highness the Crown Prince made great achievements in the conquest of Yanchu. In order to relieve the disaster, he stayed in Zheng County for a few months. It can be said that he loves the people like a child. Look, His Royal Highness's face has turned black and thin."
"Bah! It's so far away, how can I see the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly. It's a slap in the face!"
"What a fool. I don't have to look at it, I can think about it. Anyway, it is a blessing for me and other people to have such a kind and generous His Royal Highness."
"Exactly. The Great Wei Dynasty has a bright son, a benevolent prince, and the country will be prosperous and peaceful for thousands of years."
The state-owned prince has peace of mind. This sentence is not true at all.
For the common people, if they have food to eat and clothes to wear, the emperor is the sky, and the prince is a towering tree. With the prince here, there is no need to worry if the sky falls.
"The people are praising His Highness!" Li Yan, who was riding a red BMW, turned his head and shouted at Prince Li Jing with a smile.
Li Jing was amused when he heard it: "We are so close, I can hear it even if the voice is quieter. What are you yelling at?"
Li Yan grinned and said, "I called out for fear that His Highness would not hear."
Fang Zizhan and Zhou Li followed behind on horses, laughing when they heard this.
Both of them were graduated from the imperial examinations, and their riding skills were mediocre. However, in the past few months in Zheng County, I have often been rushing around with His Royal Highness the Prince, and his riding skills have improved a lot.
What the people are saying, they can't really hear it. However, from the enthusiastic cheers of the people, it can also be seen that the people love His Royal Highness the Prince.
They are all officials of the East Palace, and they are naturally happy to see this scene.
I don't know which commoner it was, and suddenly shouted: "His Royal Highness, Chitose!"
With a sound, many people soon followed and shouted.
His Royal Highness, Chitose!
Li Jing smiled and waved at the people. Immediately, the cheers on both sides of the street became louder and busier.
Li Jing turned his head and instructed Li Yan: "Send a few people in the prison cart to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and then go to the palace for a banquet."
Before Li Jing returned to Beijing, he sent a memorial to Beijing. Emperor Yongjia and all the courtiers knew his itinerary. After entering the palace, there must be a palace banquet.
Li Yan responded with a smile, and rode his horse to the prison car to arrange not to mention it.
Li Jing and Fang Zi Zhan Zhouli and others rode their horses all the way into the palace.
……
“Enable
Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the palace gate and will soon arrive at the Wenhua Palace. Eunuch Liu stepped into the hall quickly and reported with a happy face.
Emperor Yongjia didn't see much joy on his face, so he nodded slightly: "I see."
Qiao Ge's old eyes flashed, he took a step forward, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness is busy with disaster relief in Zheng County, relieve the people's worries, and share the worries for the emperor. With such a prince, ministers and others will also feel relieved."
Luo Shangshu also stepped forward and said with a smile, "What Qiao Ge always said is true. His Royal Highness has worked hard all the way to return to Beijing~IndoMTL.com~I want to come out of the palace to welcome you, please allow the emperor's permission."
Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and Qiao Ge have different views on old politics, but they respect and love His Royal Highness the same. With a smile, he cupped his hands and said, "I also want to go out to greet His Royal Highness."
The rest of the ministers agreed.
Emperor Yongjia's eyes flashed and he said with a smile, "Alright, Zhu Aiqing will go out to greet the prince." He then instructed the eldest prince and the fourth prince: "You two will also go to welcome the prince together."
The eldest prince and the fourth prince responded with a smile.
The crowd went out to greet each other.
Emperor Yongjia sat on the dragon chair, watching the backs of everyone.
Eunuch Liu suddenly had a fast heartbeat and quickly lowered his head.
He served Emperor Yongjia for many years and was very familiar with Emperor Yongjia. A slight change in Emperor Yongjia's expression could not be concealed from his eyes.
Prince has been busy for several months and worked hard. Judging from the look on Emperor Yongjia's face, he was obviously not very happy about the prince's return...
Think about it too. Once a person has a grudge, everything is wrong. Anything can be picked out.
Liu Gonggong thought, and the voice of Emperor Yongjia suddenly sounded in his ears: "Liu Gonggong."
Eunuch Liu came back to his senses and respectfully replied, "The servant is here."
"The prince is quite popular!" Emperor Yongjia said in a vague way.
Eunuch Liu's heart skipped a beat and replied respectfully, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, sympathizes with the common people and loves his ministers. He is also polite to the humble servants. It is reasonable to be loved by everyone."
Emperor Yongjia smiled.
A moment later, Prince Li Jing entered the Wenhua Hall surrounded by all the officials.
