Chapter 287
The noisy Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly became quiet. Yan Zhen walked out of the hall and turned around and left alone. This matter was a starting point, and this vacancy must be filled by someone. The eldest prince and the eighth prince would definitely not let this piece of fat fall into the mouths of others. According to reason, there would definitely be no result. This farce is worth watching, but the longer the farce is, the more unfavorable it will be for him. The breakthrough that was finally torn open was filled.
After thinking that after he had not been to the harem to meet his mother for a long time, Yan Zhen did not stay too much, but no one followed a prince, which was extremely shabby. In sharp contrast, the eighth prince and the eldest prince were following a large number of followers.
He was very familiar with the roads in the palace and did not need anyone to lead the way. He soon arrived at Yuxiu Palace. This small palace was where Yan Zhen’s mother was, but he was away all year round and rarely came recently. The road was unobstructed, and the palace maids were already very familiar with him, so naturally they had to play with him.
"The Fourth Prince hasn't come to see Empress Hui for so long. Have you met any aristocratic girl outside?" A palace maid said with a smile.
Yan Zhen, who was dressed in court uniform, smiled helplessly with his handsome face: "There are no girls from aristocratic families? You are becoming more and more beautiful. I have met good talents outside. Let my mother be a matchmaker for you at that time."
"Talents and so on, we only like people like the Fourth Prince who are both civil and military. I wonder if your prince doesn't know a few of them." The naughty little palace maid said with a smile.
"Of course, if you have the chance, please bring him over to you to know. Not only does he have excellent swordsmanship, but he is also very good at poetry and literary talent." Yan Zhen said with a smile. He was so unkind that he actually sold Zhang Kaifeng like this.
At this moment, a cold-faced woman walked out and the palace maid who was teasing Yan Zhen hurriedly walked away. When the woman in a blue dress appeared, the atmosphere changed instantly. She was the person who assisted Empress Hui in charge of this place and was known for her severity. Over the years, she had made a lot of contributions to Empress Hui not falling from her status because of Emperor Yan's favor.
The harem is a place where gunpowder is filled with smoke, and hidden arrows are hard to prevent, and there is no blood in killing people. No one knows whether the next knife will be aimed at him. The battle between concubines is no terrible than in the court, and it is even too much.
"Shuangqing doesn't have to be so serious every time." Yan Zhen took off the crown on his head and handed it to Shuangqing and said with a smile.
This woman who stayed with Concubine Hui for many years had no choice but to say: "Your Highness is so spoiled by these girls on weekdays. You shouldn't have the etiquette you should have. If you spread it, wouldn't it make other concubines laugh at the palace maids we taught in Yuxiu Palace who don't understand the rules."
"Uh, is there any?" Yan Zhen was stunned and smiled, "But I feel relieved to have you by my mother."
Shuangqing shook her head, her black hair fell down and said, "That's really thankful to Your Highness. I just hope that every time I come, I will tease these girls. They will make a fuss in the future, and see what you do."
"Let's talk about it then." Yan Zhen waved his hand.
The main owner in front of him was obviously the boss who was the one who was the one who was in the hands of the shopkeeper. Shuangqing understood that she had just gotten away with a mess. While the two of them had already crossed the palace wall, and the flowers bloomed on the way. This was the inner courtyard.
"My son, please pay tribute to your mother." Yan Zhen walked in and knelt on one knee at Concubine Hui and said, "It's good that Mother Mother comes in."
"Get up!" Huifei was dignified and elegant, putting down the teacup in her hand.
"Thank you, Mother!" Yan Zhen stood up and sat aside.
Hui Fei looked at her son who was entering the front and joked, "You brother and sister are surprised today. Your spoiled sister has just left, and you are here now. Have you made an appointment?"
"Have Qingqing arrived just now? I don't know here. My son just came back from the court meeting." Yan Zhen said in surprise, but he could guess what Qingqing was doing. He sighed secretly, but the headache was that the guy seemed to have no abnormal movements. Could it be that he, his brother, wouldn't be able to do it?
"The court meeting, does it seem that the border generals guarding the border seem to have been robbed?" Huifei said with majesty in her tone: "Are those thieves so bold? Are you not afraid that the court king's law will kill the nine clans?"
"Well! But it hasn't been investigated clearly yet, so it's not easy to make a conclusion so quickly." Yan Zhen nodded.
"You're hungry!" Huifei looked at her son's tired look and ordered: "Shuangqing, please go and order some pastries for the Fourth Prince."
"Thank you, Mother," Yan Zhen said with a smile.
"It's not a trivial matter that something happened to the general guarding the border. Has the negotiation resulted?" Hui Fei asked.
After a while, the pastry was already on hand. Yan Zhen picked up a piece of green flower cake and said with a wry smile: "It's not that easy. My father is now recuperating. The court is full of the elder brother and the eighth brother. The two sides are quarreling. My son believes that there will be no result in the short term."
"Nothing is happening, the border general is missing, and the border military affairs cannot be handled without anyone. It is acceptable in the short term. It is not a good thing to go on in the long run." Huifei sighed and said, "The Daqi in the south is eyeing you. It is really a troublesome time for your father to recuperate at this time."
Yan Zhen finished eating the pastries on the table and looked a little solemn: "Have you seen your father recently?"
"No, I went to Yangxin Palace to ask for a meeting. Your Majesty did not see me either. He just said that he could take care of the eldest prince's mother, Concubine Yun." Concubine Hui was confusing and soon heard something was wrong from her son's words and asked back: "Are you suspicious of the eldest prince and others-----?"
Before he finished speaking, Yan Zhen had already made a low gesture to Concubine Hui and said softly: "Now that the father is recuperating, the eldest brother is in charge of the country and monopolizes the power. Mother, don't you think that Concubine Yun has been much arrogant recently, and she always asks trouble for other concubines and picks on her."
"This is true. I heard that even the eighth prince's mother, Concubine Yu, was called to scold her by Concubine Yun recently?" Concubine Hui said.
"No wonder, no wonder the people under the Eighth Brother in the court today attacked the Great Emperor's Brother so unceremoniously." Yan Zhen touched his chin, as if he had found the key. In the past, these two people would not have broken up even if they fought openly and secretly. However, today the Eighth Prince's attack was too obvious. It turned out that there was still this level of thing.
"Recently, the concubines in the harem have no choice but to do anything to Concubine Yun. Everyone is afraid that they will be accidentally brought to him by Concubine Yun. They all want to ask His Majesty to be fair, but there is no news." Concubine Hui thought for a while and said.
"Concubine Yun didn't ask for trouble for her mother!" Yan Zhen suddenly became nervous.
"Silly child, my mother has been in the palace for many years. There are still some precautions. You don't need to worry about me." Huifei smiled, then remembered something and said in confusion: "By the way, Zhen'er, have you ever met Eunuch Gao recently? He seems to have disappeared for a long time."
"Eunuch Gao, who is in charge of the imperial kitchen? I haven't seen him for a long time." Yan Zhen said in confusion: "Is there something wrong with this person?"
"I can't say that even Eunuch Hai, who usually takes care of His Majesty, looked cold when I went to Yangxin Temple several times to ask for His Majesty." Empress Hui said, "You think something happened to Your Majesty?"
"Mother, are you thinking too much? My father has been overworking for state affairs recently, and he is just recuperating. Besides, my father has some experts around him to protect him and there will be no trouble." Yan Zhen comforted him and said with a smile: "Hey, if my son remembers correctly, my mother misses her father for only two months. She is still so old and old, but she is still so attached to her father. She is not afraid of others laughing about it if it is spread."
"What do you know, a child?" Huifei scolded her and said happily: "Qingqing is much more cheerful now, and seems to have come out of her sadness. As long as you are fine, your mother will have nothing to worry about."
While the mother and son were having a happy conversation, Shuangqing walked in outside the door and said, "Empress, the court meeting is about to begin, it's time for the Fourth Highness to pass."
"Go!" said Huifei.
"I will come to see my mother again in a few days." Yan Zhen took the Chaoguan, turned around and left the room, and soon walked out of Yuxiu Palace and headed towards the Taihe Palace.
