Chapter 709: Qianqiu Festival
Bai Jingyu entered the room and saw Qin Shengrui fighting crickets on the Arhat bed sitting in front of the west window. He said that this man was mud and mud was useful, but he was useless.
"Your Highness won't go to the yamen today?" Bai Jingyu asked.
Because of the Shanmeng Camp, the emperor scolded him severely and punished him to close his closure in the mansion. After less than half a month, the Empress pleaded with him, and then he was relieved of his closure. After all, he was his biological son. The emperor was afraid that he would become more and more abolish, so he asked him to take a free job in the Ministry of Revenue.
"There is nothing to do in the yamen, what will I do?" Qin Shengrui said without raising his head.
"I'm afraid it's not right at home?"
"No matter whether he is suitable or not, Yunying is right. The court is now in serious disputes with internal and external troubles. As the legitimate son, the throne belongs to me sooner or later. It is better to watch it on the wall to avoid doing more mistakes."
"What did Concubine Jiang say?"
"Well, she's much smarter than you."
Bai Jingyu lowered his eyes and thought, obviously Qin Shengrui was very helpful to Jiang Yunying's suggestions. But the emperor hoped that he could do something, so he put him in the Ministry of Revenue. However, Jiang Yunying left him idle, which meant that he became more and more useless.
But this is good, so he won't always cause trouble when he goes out.
After ten days, it was Qianqiu Festival.
The day before yesterday, Lu Chang'an rushed back to Shengjing and brought back the Xiyue princess rescued by the bandits, and arranged to move into the palace directly.
At night, Liu Yunxiang was about to go to bed when Yan Mu sneaked in.
Seeing that he was agile, Liu Yunxiang knew that his injuries were almost healed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tomorrow is the Qianqiu Festival, and the emperor will definitely give him a marriage." Yan Mu sat on the bed and hugged Liu Yunxiang in his arms. "I will resist the order at that time, and the emperor will definitely be furious, but he will not do anything to me now, considering the military strength of Zhenbei, he will come over tomorrow morning. If you take your two children away from Beijing, he will escort you to Zhenbei all the way."
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she couldn't help but hold on to Yan Mu's clothes, "What about you?"
"I will leave if I handle the matter in Kyoto-zhong well."
"I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave just by wanting to."
"Don't worry, I'm ready."
Liu Yunxiang lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will invite the old prince to the palace to persuade the emperor."
"You can invite this old guy?"
It is said that after the Chinese New Year, he left Shengjing and continued to travel around. In the past few days, many people have sent me a visit, but he has not seen anyone.
"What he owes me will definitely help me, but..." But he may not be able to persuade him, "I know you are betting that even if you resist the order, the emperor will not break up with you. First, the emperor only has two sons, you and the Fourth Prince. Second, in the eyes of the internal political parties, the emperor has to use your power to stabilize the rules and force you to rebel, which will not do him any benefit."
This is how reason analyzes it, but there is one thing to consider, that is, the emperor is stupid and may not be willing to take the overall situation into consideration.
"Anyway, before noon tomorrow, you must leave Beijing with Xue Changfeng. There will be changes here, and I will send someone to chase you."
Liu Yunxiang looked up at Yan Mu, and saw his brows frowning and his face was filled with worry. She knew that he was worried about her and the children, not for himself.
She turned around and hugged Yan Mu's waist, "I'll listen to you, but you must also promise not to let yourself take risks."
Hearing Liu Yunxiang's words, Yan Mu's expression tightened, "I don't know what to do, I dare not..."
Liu Yunxiang burst out laughing, climbed Yan Mu's shoulder, and kissed his chin, "I know you don't dare."
Yan Mu's face turned red and he snorted, "I am naturally afraid of whoever asked you to always use leaving me as a threat."
At night, Yan Mu wore her for a long time, and when he got up the next day, it was almost noon. Yan Mu entered the palace, Xue Changfeng was waiting outside, and after Liu Yunxiang finished washing, he went to the old prince's place first.
The old prince still gave her face and promised her to enter the palace to persuade the emperor.
"It's just that the emperor has never listened to advice, and because I have a close relationship with Mingyong, he is so cautious about me." The old prince stroked his beard and said.
Liu Yunxiang silently said, "When King Suping Lu Chang'an and King Anqing Qinfei, please ask the emperor, if there is no Yan Mu, who will check and balance with them."
The old prince frowned, "King Anqing is also a member of the Qin family, and Yan Mu and him should not be enemies."
"You said this because you haven't seen clearly what kind of person he is."
"He is Mingyong's son, so he will not be too bad."
Liu Yunxiang shook her head and laughed, "In short, if the court cannot check and balance each other in this situation, the emperor may not be able to sit steadily."
The old prince widened his eyes, "I owe you money, but I don't owe you life. Why did you let me say these lifeless words in front of the emperor!"
Liu Yunxiang said with a plea: "The truth is the truth, please be more tactful."
When Liu Yunxiang came back from the old prince, she was thinking about returning home, so she took her two children out of the capital with Xue Changfeng. But when she returned home, she saw Xue Changfeng frowned, and the house was empty, so she didn't see the two children, Jin Yan Zijin and the others.
"The people from Feifeng Palace conveyed the queen's will to let you enter the palace. If you are not at home, they will take away the two children first, and your two maids will follow you." Xue Changfeng sighed.
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "The queen had a long time ago and would not let our mother go out of the city. Since that's the case, I'll just go to the palace. Our family of four is together and we are not afraid of anything else."
Liu Yunxiang hurriedly packed up and entered the palace. At night, the palace was decorated with lights and joy everywhere.
After noon, all officials and their subordinates lined up to enter the palace.
After getting off the carriage, Liu Yunxiang walked towards the palace gate and saw the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and the eldest princess in front of her. She was not in the mood to get entangled with them, but by chance, the eldest princess looked at her and saw her. There was no way, Liu Yunxiang had to take a few steps quickly and salute the eldest princess.
The Duke of Zhenguo saluted her, and the three of them saluted each other.
"In order not to let Lao Qi marry a side wife, you ran away from home. Now, Quansheng Kyoto knows that you are a jealous woman."
As an elder, the eldest princess scolded Liu Yunxiang with the posture of an elder.
"What others think, that's someone else's business, I can't control it." Liu Yunxiang replied lightly.
"You have lost all the royal decency!"
"Decent is for everyone. Whoever loses the most is definitely not me."
"Hmph, you are sharp-tongued and have the ability to give the emperor an order to marry him. You can resist the order in public!" The eldest princess shook her sleeves and said.
"Although you said that, Princess, I dare not."
"you!"
When the Duke of Zhenguo saw the two of them facing each other, he hurriedly said: "Today is Qianqiu Festival. You two have prepared birthday gifts for the queen. I have prepared a pair of jade Ruyi. The queen lacks nothing, so use this jade Ruyi to get a good start."
Liu Yunxiang had to give the face to Duke Zhenguo's wife, so she would not say anything at the moment.
The eldest princess didn't say anything else, and the three of them walked in awkwardly.
The man's house entered from the other side of the palace gate. Liu Yunxiang looked over there casually, saw Lu Chang'an at first sight, and naturally saw the general Wuwei who was walking with him.
