Qingwan coughed twice unnaturally, then changed the subject and said, "It's almost time for the fifth prince to enter the palace now, right? Do you think we should join in the fun?"
Ji Lanjin saw through his joking in her eyes, looked at her with a smile and said, "I thought you just came out of there and wouldn't want to go in again?"
Qing Wan's face showed the embarrassment of being seen through, but she said bravely: "It's rare to see a good show, it would be a pity to miss it. Besides, didn't you also promise to help the fifth prince? If you don't go, he is afraid
You can't even get through the palace gate, right?" According to the fourth prince's personality, it is very likely that he would have stopped him right at the palace gate.
At the end, he added: "You just promised to help him." Qingwan thought, even if she couldn't take over the man's position, it would still be good to create some trouble for him.
Ji Lanjin had helplessness in his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if he really doesn't have this ability, our help will be in vain. After all, he is also the prince of the Great Guard Kingdom. The emperor is mourning. He will come back to see him off."
The spirit is also normal. No one will stop him from entering the palace, which will easily leave criticism. Furthermore, even if we don't take action, there is still the queen. He is her biological son. Do you think she will do anything?
Don’t you want to do it?”
"That's right." It seemed that the emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was.
The emperor's coffin is still in the palace, and it will take seven days before it can be buried in the imperial mausoleum. At this time, white sails are hung everywhere in the palace, and it looks like a plain white scene from a distance.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace. Ji Lanjin was not in a hurry to get out of the car, as if she was waiting for someone. Not long after, she heard the clatter of horse hooves not far away. Qingwan opened the corner of the curtain and saw a person.
Riding on a horse, he was running towards the palace gate. The man on the horse was wearing armor and a military uniform. Who else could he be if he wasn't the fifth prince?
Qingwan subconsciously turned around to look at Ji Lanjin, feeling that this guy had accurately calculated the time for the other party to enter the palace and waited here specially.
Ji Lanjin smiled and said nothing, pointed in the direction of the palace entrance, and motioned for her to watch the show.
Qing Wan followed his gaze in confusion and saw a man guarding the palace gate. The man was dressed like a eunuch and held mourning clothes in his hands. When he saw the man coming off the horse, he immediately bowed to greet him and said: "
When the Queen Mother learned that the fifth prince had returned to Beijing, she specially asked the old slave to wait here. After the fifth prince changed into his mourning clothes, he followed the old slave directly to the front of the palace to keep vigil for the emperor."
It turned out to be someone close to the Queen.
The other party was waiting for the fifth prince at the gate of the palace with great fanfare. He made it clear that he had followed the empress's order and took him to pay filial piety to the emperor. Even if others wanted to stop him, it was not convenient for him to do so at this moment.
First of all, that person is the queen and the mother of the country, and the fourth prince has not yet ascended the throne. If he openly refutes the queen's decree at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hide the words of the world, and he will be accused of being disrespectful and unfilial by the world. Furthermore, the five
As the emperor's direct son, it is only natural for the prince to return to the palace to guard the emperor's body.
But with these two points, no one can stop the fifth prince from entering the palace.
Unexpectedly, the matter would be resolved so smoothly. Qingwan didn't know what to say for a moment. Sitting in the carriage, she watched the fifth prince leading his people and swaggering into the palace with the old eunuch.
. curled her lips, and when she looked away, she saw the person beside her standing up gracefully, opening the curtain on one side with her white jade-like hands, turning back to look at her and saying, "Let's enter the palace too!"
