The next day, Ye Fuxun went into the palace to pay his respects to Concubine Yue. Aunt Ding was waiting for Ye Fuxun at the entrance of Yunxiao Palace. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly walked down the steps and said, "I have met Princess Chen."
"Aunt, please get up quickly." Ye Fuxun helped Aunt Ding up and asked with a smile, "How is your health these days?"
"It seems that the empress is looking forward to the princess coming back." Aunt Ding led Ye Fuxun to the inner hall. Concubine Yue, who was originally looking out, saw the figure in light pink palace clothes walking in, and her face darkened.
Pretending not to see anything, she leaned on the soft couch. Aunt Ding smiled at Ye Fuxun and winked at her. Ye Fuxun walked to Concubine Yue knowingly and said softly, "Concubine.
"
Concubine Yue closed her eyes and fell asleep. She turned away and ignored Ye Fuxun. Ye Fuxun coughed lightly and said flatteringly, "Concubine, my son is back."
"You still know how to come back!" Concubine Yue snorted, sat up sideways, tapped Ye Fuxun's forehead with her bare hands, and said, "You, you ran to Bianbei without saying a word, do you know how powerful I am?
Worry."
"Concubine, my son is back safely." Ye Fuxun held Concubine Yue's arm and said coquettishly. He leaned against Concubine Yue and smiled. In Concubine Yue, Ye Fuxun felt the maternal love that he had been missing for many years.
"You are used to misbehaving, so you should be punished by the Holy Spirit."
"Then the mother and concubine must be willing to bear it."
"Why are you reluctant to part with it?" came a smiling voice. Tang Fengchu was wearing a crimson embroidered Luo shirt and a pearl white lake crepe skirt. On his melon-seed-shaped face as white and tender as jade, there was a slight twinkle between the cheeks.
Pear dimples, a light application of rouge, make the cheeks look like a newly opened viburnum, white and rosy. The long black eyebrows are not like paintings, and a pair of eyes that yearn for light, those seductive eyes
, black and white, rippling with intoxicating charm. Today, Tang Fengchu is different from the past. The three thousand black hair is only tied up with a pearl white wide ribbon, and the originally black and elegant long hair exudes a fairy-like feeling.
Her temperament. She has long hair that hangs down to her waist. She wears a white and pink intarsia beaded hair chain on her forehead and temples. Occasionally, one or two disobedient beads hang down, which actually adds to the sense of authenticity.
She is so beautiful that she wears a milky-white jade bracelet on her wrist. The warm mutton-fat white jade exudes a kind of silent brilliance, which complements her plain dress. She wears a thin silver necklace around her neck, which is vaguely...
It seemed to have a purple luster. After a closer look, it was just a purple spar. He walked in slowly. Usually, Tang Fengchu was dignified, generous, graceful and luxurious, but today there was an aura of a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world, and there was a smile on his face.
With a faint smile, he looked at Concubine Yue slightly and said, "I have met my concubine."
"The Crown Princess's outfit today is quite unique." Ye Fuxun laughed and teased. Tang Fengchu made a squeak, "It seems that Bian Bei didn't suffer enough, so he took a dig at me."
Then he looked at Concubine Yue and said, "Concubine, look at Concubine Chen's mouth."
"Okay, you two, please stop teasing each other." Concubine Yue held her hands with each other and said with a rare smile. Tang Fengchu's smile faded slightly, "Today, my father already knows that Princess Chen is back."
"I will go and bear the thorns to plead guilty to my father in a moment."
Concubine Yue patted Ye Fuxun's hand comfortingly. Although Emperor Xuankang wanted to support Ye Fuxun publicly, in private, Ye Fuxun's actions were not approved by Emperor Xuankang.
Inside Qianyuan Hall.
"Your Majesty, Princess Chen is asking for forgiveness outside the palace." Eunuch Li bowed his head and reported.
"Cough cough cough..." Emperor Xuan Kang coughed a few times, took a sip of tea, suppressed the itching in his throat, and said, "Let her in."
Ye Fuxun walked in with his head lowered, knelt down in the center of the hall and said crisply, "I pay homage to my father. Today I am here to apologize to my father and ask him to punish me."
"Ahem, cough, cough." Emperor Xuankang put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Tell me what crime you have committed."
"Without permission, he left the capital and even went to Bianbei."
"I thought you didn't know what you did was wrong." Emperor Xuankang snorted coldly and stood up, "You are becoming more and more courageous. Do you think your head is too heavy?"
"The minister has also made meritorious service." Hearing what Emperor Xuan Kang said, Ye Fuxun couldn't help but quibble in a low voice. He raised his big, smart eyes and rolled them around.
"What did you say?!" Emperor Xuan Kang raised his voice, stood with his hands behind his hands and looked down at Ye Fulun, but there was no trace of blame in his eyes.
"It's nothing. I said that my father taught me a lesson, and I won't dare to do it next time." Ye Fuxun said immediately and rudely.
"Tell me how you want me to punish you."
Ye Fuxun raised his head and saw that Emperor Xuankang didn't really want to punish her. He smiled and replied, "Father, my son has also done a lot of things in Bianbei, which can be regarded as benefiting the people of Bianbei and for father himself."
His Royal Highness, King Chen, has taken over the urgent need, can this be regarded as atonement for his sins?"
"Hahahaha." Emperor Xuankang was in a good mood when he saw Ye Fuxun bargaining with him like a little mouse. He smiled and said, "No wonder your mother-in-law likes you so much. You are such a girl." After saying that, he helped Ye Fuxun personally.
Get up, "Okay, then I will spare you for now because of your ability to raise food and grass for the soldiers in the border area and to control the plague and provide food and porridge in the border area. If you do it again, I will never do it again."
Be gentle."
"I thank my father." Ye Fuxun then stood up and took a good look at Emperor Xuankang, only to see that he was much older. Although Emperor Xuankang was well hidden, Ye Fuxun could vaguely feel that Emperor Xuankang's body was
He was not so tough, so he stretched out his hand to help Ye Fuxun to the dragon chair, and asked with concern, "Is your father feeling better? Have you asked the imperial doctor?"
"It's all the same, nothing serious." Emperor Xuankang drank a cup of tea to calm down his shock and said casually.
Ye Fuxun didn't ask any more questions. Except for the imperial doctor whom he trusted, no one else knew about Emperor Xuan Kang's true physical condition.
"Come and tell me what's going on in Bianbei?"
"How can I talk about state affairs in vain if I am a daughter?" Ye Fuxun lowered his head and said.
"Although you are a female, your knowledge is not inferior to that of a man. If you were a man, you would be a pillar of the country!" Emperor Xuankang said. Ye Fuxun was slightly startled. He did not expect that Emperor Xuankang would give her such a high evaluation.
The two chatted for a while, and Ye Fuxun got up to say goodbye. He passed by the Imperial Garden, feeling relaxed and a little obsessed with this place. He raised his eyes and saw a purple figure. He saw someone with sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a high nose, and
His thin lips showed a faint crimson color, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes. His pupils were dark and deep, like a pool of deep water. His long black hair lay on the back of his head, reflecting his face.
Her fair complexion is becoming more and more crystal clear. Even a gentle-looking person like Song Hanxiu looks more sharp against the backdrop of a purple and gold python robe, giving people a sense of calmness and wisdom without losing the spirit and pride that a young man should have.
.
Ye Fuxun hurriedly walked over and saluted, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Princess Chen, there is no need to be polite."
Song Hanxiuxu gave Ye Fuxun a hand, then stood up with his hands behind his hands and asked, "I heard about what Princess Chen did in Bianbei and I really admire her."
"His Royal Highness, you are so complimentary." The woman smiled, and the imperial garden instantly lost its color. Song Hanxiu still smiled gently and said, "Princess Chen is a strange woman, and the third brother married a good wife and mother..."
Ye Fuxun's face turned red and he said softly, "Farewell."
Song Hanxiu nodded and turned sideways to make way for Ye Fuxun. When he returned to Prince Chen's Mansion, Xiao Ruosu was the first to run out. Qingying followed behind and said with a smile, "On weekdays, it's Sister Qingruo who runs out. This is Miss Su'er.
After that, Sister Qingruo can retire."
Ye Fuxun picked up Xiao Ruosu and said with a smile, "That's true." Qing Ruo walked over with a big red invitation in her hand, gave Qing Ying a charming look, and then said, "Princess
, invitation from Ye Mansion."
Ye Fuxun handed Xiao Ruosu to the maid aside, took the invitation, lowered his head and glanced at it, with a slight sneer on his lips, "Wedding, this is quite interesting." Then he thought of the invitation he brought from Wen Xingcheng.
The ghost-faced man in black asked coldly, "How is the interrogation of that assassin?"
"Back to the princess, you are very tough." Qingyun replied calmly, "However, the servants have found out some clues. These men in black are well-trained and have strong martial arts. They are from Yongying Palace. Yongying Palace has a total of
They are three levels of killers. The person who kidnapped the princess before was just the most common killer in Yongying Palace, but the man in black who assassinated the princess in Wenxing City a few days ago belongs to the second level of killers in Yongying Palace."
"Can we find out who gave the instructions?"
"Not yet, but it has something to do with the Jiangnan Xie family and Ye Mansion." Qingyun said.
In the dungeon of Prince Chen's Mansion.
The dim oil lamp shines on the mottled wall, and the air is filled with the smell of rust and decay. The moss-covered stairs are winding and twisting, leading to the depths. No one has been detained in this place for a long time, and the mice will not be able to see people.
Not afraid, just sneak away in the corner, or stare at people with a pair of dark eyes, which makes people feel numb.
"Princess, you don't have to come, just let the slaves come and interrogate you." Qingyun said as she carefully helped Ye Fuxun to the dungeon. On the torture rack in the middle of the dungeon, a man covered in blood was tied up.
Man, blood and dirt blend together, making people feel numb when they see it.
This scene made Ye Fuxun couldn't help but recall the scene in his previous life. It was too long ago and too real. In front of the torture rack where the man in black was tied, a large carved sandalwood couch was placed.
, Ye Fuxun smiled at that one and sat lazily on the soft couch.
