Su Zhen secretly raised her eyebrows. Xiao Chuhong looked like he was late on purpose to make the emperor wait for him.
Everyone looked like they were waiting for a good show, but Shang Yuzhen waved his hand, "No problem, the two generals will take their seats without any courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Immediately, two young eunuchs came forward, pushed the wheelchair and took him to his seat.
Looking at the food and wine on the long table, Xiao Chuhong raised his wine glass with both hands and faced the emperor, "Thank you for holding the palace banquet for me on my return. I am very flattered."
Shang Yu frame raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp, "General Xiao has made great military achievements for our court. You left in a hurry back then, and you won't have time to congratulate me in the future. Today, you should be able to cleanse yourself from the dust, General Xiao."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"
The Queen smiled and asked, "I haven't seen you for eight years. Has General Xiao's leg injury gotten better?"
"Thank you for your concern, I have visited famous doctors, but no one can cure me. This leg... is probably really useless."
"That's such a pity. By the way, why didn't Mrs. Xiao come? We haven't seen her for several years, and I miss her very much."
The queen's eyes were kind and sincere, and there was no trace of deception at all.
"My Lady Lao is thinking about me. My mother is not feeling well today. I will wait two days before entering the palace to pay my respects to the Emperor and the Queen. After all, I plan to stay in Beijing for a long time when I return to Beijing. If my mother wants to see my mother, she can come to the palace to see you from time to time."
"So good."
Unlike the empress who had a warm attitude towards him, most of the courtiers were quite critical of his return to Kyoto. They also planned to find a way to send him away early, but who knew what to do if he planned to stay for a long time.
Shang Yici, on the other hand, looked at Xiao Chuhong and secretly plotted in his mind, thinking about how to kill Xiao Chuhong and return his military power to the imperial court.
In addition to the 100,000 brave and capable Xiao family troops in his hands, even the commander of the Forbidden Army, Xiao He, once belonged to Xiao Mohan, and now he is no different from belonging to the prince.
Different from the fact that they clearly had their own thoughts, they greeted each other with smiles and toasted Xiao Chuhong repeatedly. Those official ladies who had just begun to have a love affair never took their eyes away from Xiao Chuhong. There was only one person whose eyes were full of contempt and ridicule.
Fortunately, their father broke off their engagement back then. Otherwise, what kind of future would there be if they married such a waste?
Xiao Chuhong was not unaware of this disgusted gaze, so he sipped his drink lightly to hide the sneer on his lips.
If Ji Mengping had not followed his advice and ruined the engagement, he might have found an opportunity to kill him and take the Xiao family army as his own. But he gave himself a chance to breathe. When they come back this time, none of them can escape!
His father! Three thousand Xiao family troops! And tens of thousands of people in Jiacheng! He will recover this life debt for them bit by bit!
The night was as dark as ink, the waning moon hung in the sky, and the stars were dim.
Yu Ziye left the Shaohua Palace where the palace banquet was held, and stayed away from the hustle and bustle. His ears suddenly became quiet. He took a deep breath, pretended to be careless and walked away, followed closely by Qing Xuan.
He walked towards the Queen Mother's palace. On the way, the eunuchs or maids saluted him when they saw him entering the harem.
As he got closer to Shouning Palace, Yu Ziye's steps became much brisker. The vermilion door was clearly in front of him, but he stopped and wanted to turn around and go back.
Qing Xuan was puzzled, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Do you think it would be too abrupt for me to show up so rashly?"
Qing Xuan wanted to say something, maybe that girl wouldn't remember you at all, but he swallowed the words forcefully.
"Then shall we go in?"
"Come in! You're here anyway. If you don't go to say hello, you will definitely be gossiped about. Even though you are empty-handed, the Queen Mother probably won't mind."
Sure enough, after staying with Su Zhen for too long, the eldest son of his family became shameless!
The lights in Shouning Palace were brightly lit, because a palace banquet was held in the palace tonight, and most of the maids and chamberlains went to join in the fun, so the palaces were quite deserted.
When the guards outside saw someone sneaking around nearby, they immediately drew their swords from their waists and approached them.
"Stop! Who is it?"
"It's me."
Yu Ziye, dressed in red, still stood out in the dim night. The guards immediately recognized them and hurriedly put away their weapons, lowered their heads and clasped their fists, "It turns out to be Prince Yu. I'm sorry for my poor eyesight. It's just that it's so late, why is the prince here?"
"My prince heard that the Queen Mother was unwell, so I came here specifically to pay her respects."
Yu Ziye was duplicity, but in fact he was thinking about how to speak when he met Yu Qingwan.
"I see, but Princess Jingyao is still inside."
Yu Ziye pretended to be surprised, "What a coincidence? It just so happens that I haven't seen sister Jingyao for a long time."
"Then let me inform you first."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Yu Ziye was not in a hurry to go in. He was originally polite and polite. When the guard turned around, he immediately put away his smile and danced like a crazy rabbit after being burned by fire. He turned around to adjust his clothes and hair, and even kept talking to
Zhu Qingxuan asked him what else was wrong with him.
"My lord, you really don't need to be so nervous."
Yu Ziye lowered his head and was upset. If he had known better, he would have dragged Aning with him.
He rubbed his cheeks and forced out what he thought was a decent smile. Unfortunately, because his facial expression was too tight, it only looked even stiffer.
Qing Xuan looked at him, sometimes nervous, sometimes dejected, sometimes with a silly smile on his face. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and was very speechless.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? Why don't I ask the imperial doctor to take a look at you?"
"I"
He wanted to continue asking, but the soft and melodious voices of women came from inside the palace gate.
When the people inside came out, they only saw the back of Yu Ziye running away.
Qing Xuan was also shocked by his actions, his face was full of embarrassment and helplessness. He had no time to escape with him, so he had to bow respectfully to the visitor, "I see you, princess."
Princess Jingyao compares Ziye to be one year younger. She has a beautiful appearance and a cheerful posture. Her brows cannot hide her arrogance and nobility. She has a fair complexion and is lightly powdered. Her black hair is tied up in a bun, and the blue hair in her hair sways with her steps.
As she walked, she swayed gently like flowing water. She wore a cyan pleated gauze skirt, which made her figure even more slender and graceful.
The woman next to her has ethereal eyes, an elegant and refined temperament, lips like cherry blossoms, and eyes like stars in the sky. She has three thousand blue silk threads tied up in her head, and is dressed in a brocade palace dress. Her hands are folded in front of her belly obediently. A pair of tearful eyes are born to give people a kind of feeling.
The pitiful sight of Chu Chu, the slight frown on her brows, the tenderness but also the tenacity, and even Xizi's flattery, make people feel pity, perfectly showing what it means to be beautiful in the bones but not in the skin.
Qing Xuan raised his eyes slightly. For some reason, he didn't feel that the girl who was at the forefront of his family's heart needed to be carefully cared for.
Princess Jingyao is completely opposite to the shy Yu Qingwan. When she smiles, her eyes are like crescent moons, which is very cute.
"I remember you. You seem to be brother Ziye's attendant, but why did he run away when he saw me just now?"
It would be nice if the little ancestor really avoided her
Qing Xuan replied seriously, "The princess just sent someone to look for her. She said that the palace banquet was about to start. The prince hurried back and came back another day to apologize to the Queen Mother."
Princess Jingyao did not doubt that he was there, "I see. Wanwan, let's go quickly. It will be bad if we miss the time."
"good."
The corners of Yu Qingwan's lips curved slightly, she clenched and unclenched the handkerchief in her hand, and nodded lightly at Qing Xuan, who lowered his head even lower.
"Princess, walk slowly."
After they left with all the maids, Qing Xuan explained to the guards of Shouning Palace and left in a hurry.
