Walking slowly, two days before New Year's Day, the carriage arrived at Lanjing in Beixiao.

The carriage entered the imperial city directly without waiting outside, and the emperor did not come to greet him.

After all, there is no reason in this world for a father to go out of his way to welcome his son.

So Xiao Changyin simply packed up and took Yun Zhao to Guangming Palace with the child in his arms.

He went to pay his respects to his father, whom he had not seen for two or three years.

When the emperor learned that the prince had arrived at the East Palace and was preparing to come over, he couldn't help but feel restless.

As for Concubine Ping, who was walking in the imperial garden, she felt thunderbolts coming from the clear sky one after another.

He almost couldn't stand, and he was dizzy. It was only the palace attendants around him who supported him that kept him from falling.

For one thing, when the prince came back, the regret in her heart was like raindrops falling into the sea.

Secondly, when the queen comes back, she must return the power to manage the harem to the queen no matter what.

And it can be said that she has been busy for so long in vain.

The Queen Mother held the power tightly in her hands at first, but later she suddenly figured it out and pushed everything to Concubine Ping.

Concubine Ping was happy, but at the same time she wanted to be strong and didn't want others to know that she couldn't do it, so she really put 100% of her energy into it.

How happy and tired it will be, how despairing and regretful it will be.

She clenched her hands tightly, letting her sharp fingertips touch her delicate palms.

When he spread his hands again, there were many crescent-like red and purple marks on his fair skin.

Concubine Ping took a deep breath and decided to go back to the palace first.

As for the queen, prince, and princess... she didn't want to see any of them.

He simply reported illness and hid in the house.

She felt that even if she pretended to be sick, no one would deliberately expose her.

As for the Phoenix Seal, she naturally wanted to return it, but not to the queen, but to the emperor.

After all, the Phoenix Seal was given to her by the emperor.

But sometimes things just happen to be so unlucky. Concubine Ping had already thought of everything, and when she was about to implement it, she turned around and saw Xiao Changyin, Yun Zhao, and the child in Xiao Changyin's arms.

Concubine Ping was stunned for a moment and looked at that in a daze.

Because Yun Zhao needed to take care of her children, she didn't put anything on her face, so she looked stunningly beautiful.

The child in Xiao Changyin's arms was shrinking obediently, with his whole body leaning towards Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao took a ring with a red thread hanging from it and dangled it in front of his eyes to tease him.

As for Xiao Changyin, Concubine Ping only took one look at him, and her heart plummeted.

She had been hoping that her legs would heal, but it was just a fabrication to preserve her position as the crown prince.

Or even if it is healed, the legs will not return to their previous state, and there will be some lameness and the like.

But when she looked at it, she couldn't see any problem.

The prince's legs are really healed.

Concubine Ping almost fainted. Seeing this, the palace attendants on both sides quickly helped her and then sent her back.

Concubine Ping was exhausted, and the regret that emerged in her heart almost overwhelmed her.

To say that she loves Xiao Changyin, that's not true. She just wants to stand in a very high position, and Xiao Changyin, the prince of Northern Xiao before her legs were injured, is undoubtedly the best candidate to fulfill her wish.

So she worked hard to be the crown prince's concubine at all costs.

As a result, after some tossing, she had no choice but to choose the inferior one, the prince's father, the current emperor.

Although the emperor is the real dragon emperor, and the prince is still some time away from becoming the real dragon emperor, the emperor is old after all. He is the same age as her father, and he is just like the sunset over there, no matter how gorgeous it is,

It didn't take long for the night to come.

The more Concubine Ping thought about it, the heavier her heart became. Before she even took two steps back to the yard, her body went limp and she fell to the ground.

At this time, Xiao Changyin had arrived at Guangming Palace and was kneeling on the ground to plead guilty.

Xiao Yandi patted Yun Zhao's hand and blinked, and Yun Zhao understood what he meant, so he half-crouched and put him down.

After being freed, Xiao Yandi staggered towards the emperor, walking unreasonably but firmly.

He waited until there was a foot away before he stopped, then saluted in a decent manner, and then said very slowly, "Greetings to the emperor's grandfather."

The emperor smiled, a rare joy from the heart.

After all, this is his direct grandson, and he is well-behaved and behaves according to the rules.

He is still such a young person, how can he be unhappy when people see him?

So the emperor, who had a sullen face at first, immediately responded and bent down to pick up Xiao Yandi, "One by one, right? It's all your father's fault. I should have been able to see our little one one by one."

After saying this, he couldn't let Xiao Changyin kneel down like this, so he asked him to get up with a faint voice.

Xiao Changyin stood aside, while Yun Zhao sat on the stool brought by Shouan.

Xiao Yandi coaxed the emperor to take out all the jade medals from his waist and stuff them into his arms.

Xiao Changyin's eyelids trembled when he saw this. This jade token can be said to be like seeing the emperor.

When Xiao Yandi came out of Guangming Palace, he was holding various rare jade beads in his hands.

The boxes held in the hands of several chamberlains behind him were heavy, and they were sweating on their foreheads as they moved them.

When they arrived at the East Palace, Su Xi had already led a group of palace people waiting at the door.

Because the New Year was approaching and I learned that they were coming back, red silk and lanterns were hung inside and outside the house, making it look particularly lively and joyful.

The emperor here just saw his grandson leaving the house, and he felt reluctant to part with him.

Shou'an guessed the emperor's thoughts, but he didn't want to come up with any ideas at all.

But there was no need for Shouan to come up with an idea, the emperor had already come up with one.

He planned to let the queen raise Xiao Yandi, which happened to be an excuse for him to go to Yongning Palace.

Obviously, he has not given up on what he has been persisting in for more than 20 years.

As soon as he said this, Shou'an couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Shouan has served the emperor for so many years. It can be said that he understands the emperor better than anyone else in the world.

Your Majesty thinks he is deeply affectionate and indulges in it with pleasure.

It's just that he looked on coldly, and His Majesty never did anything affectionate.

Shou'an decided to make it clear boldly, "Since the queen has returned to the palace, she must be managing the harem, so there is no time to raise a child."

The emperor thought to himself, why don't you carry it yourself? Why don't you just leave it to the servants?

But then he thought about it and felt that his plan was not very appropriate.

After all, he is the prince's first child, so it would be awkward not to grow up in the East Palace.

He gave up the plan, still feeling a little unwilling.

"Where is the phoenix seal sent by Concubine Ping?"

Shou'an said quickly, "This servant is waiting for His Majesty's instructions to send it to Yongning Palace to the Queen."

The emperor waved his hand, "No need, I will go there myself."

A quarter of an hour later, the emperor appeared in Yongning Palace.
