"After Dong Lingyue stumbled this time, everyone else should be calm for the time being, but calmness is only on the surface. The more aggressive the prince is, the more uneasy they will be." Fu Nanchuan's posture was upright and his voice was calm and calm, "This
The royal palaces were particularly busy during the two days, especially at night, when people came in and out of the back door of the palace, and several officials in the court were like ants on a hot pot."
Huangfu Lingfeng sat down on the chair and said, "They are nothing more than grasshoppers after autumn, nothing to be afraid of."
The prince had been living abroad for twenty years, and the emperor had been childless, so that all the princes had the idea of adopting their own sons as heirs. In these years, several princes in the court were competing against each other and planning their own plans.
The intensity of the intrigue is no different from that of a prince competing for the heir apparent.
Except for a few civil and military officials who have always remained neutral, others are more or less biased, so that there are many factions, and the struggle between the DPRK and the Central Government is flourishing.
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was suddenly found, which caught everyone off guard. It is normal for the princes and princes to feel unhappy because their wishes were frustrated.
"Your Highness should be more careful." Qi Jin frowned, "Power makes people lose their minds. It's hard to guarantee that someone won't be desperate and jump over the wall."
"I think we can take advantage by striking first." Huangfu Lingfeng held his chin, thoughtfully, "Anyway, Aventurine Zhang is not a good thing. We can find a way to let him leave a clue."
"Don Ling Yue committed an unforgivable crime and has now been deprived of the title of Crown Prince. Now it is business to bring over the courtiers behind Prince Xuan and his son." Fu Nanchuan said calmly, "Although His Highness has the support of military commanders, we cannot ignore it.
The influence of civil servants in North Korea and China.”
"Don't civil servants have a chief assistant and a Taifu?" Huangfu Lingfeng turned and looked at Xifeng and Qi Jin, "One of you is the son of the chief assistant and the other is the son of the Taifu. You won't even do this.
Not sure."
Xi Feng and Qi Jin were silent at the same time.
"The general has no son." Huangfu Lingfeng picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, "The chief assistant and the Taifu are the civil servants of the court. If you two can't handle this matter, it will make people laugh.
.”
The original serious atmosphere of the discussion was gone forever due to the breakfast delivered by Aunt Shi. As the four people talked to each other, the serious discussion turned into informal nonsense.
Sicang ate his breakfast quietly, without saying a word from beginning to end.
Huangfu Lingfeng looked at him: "Your Highness is not worried about the Crown Princess?"
The queen held a flower-viewing banquet in the palace, saying that she was inviting noble ladies to watch the flowers. The main purpose was to get to know the new crown princess Dongyou. However, only the queen herself knew what the real purpose was.
With so many noble ladies gathered together, it was quite lively today.
Sicang's voice was indifferent: "She can handle it."
As April approaches, the weather is already warm and the sun is shining brightly. The morning is quite cool, but by noon you can clearly feel some heat.
The ladies entered the palace relatively early. When Yun Zishu's sedan stopped in the inner city, there were already several carriages and gorgeous sedans parked next to it.
You have to be searched when entering the inner city.
Even if the noble ladies of the aristocratic family are delicate, the rules in the palace must not be violated. The two nuns stood at the door and inspected the noble ladies entering the palace one by one, and there was no room for negligence.
Seeing Yun Zishu, who was dressed in rich clothes and bringing four maids, into the palace, the two maids bowed respectfully and then apologized: "There are rules in the palace. Please forgive me, Princess."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
She was not interested in embarrassing them on such a trivial matter, and simply cooperated with the inspection. The two nuns also conducted a simple search as a routine, and after confirming that they did not bring any sharp objects, they bowed and allowed Yun Zishu to enter first.
However, when Leng Yue and Leng Shuang were found, the expressions of the two nuns changed: "Are you two carrying sharp weapons?"
"This is a self-defense item." Leng Yue took out the dagger and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given permission, and he has ordered us to protect the Crown Princess."
The two nuns frowned: "The palace rules cannot be violated, so please cooperate."
"It doesn't matter." Leng Shuang said indifferently and handed the dagger to them casually, "You can keep it for now and return it when we leave."
Leng Yue didn't say anything, and simply gave the dagger to her mother.
Anyway, whether or not they have a dagger doesn't stop them from protecting their master, so they don't bother to talk to them.
"Yes. Thank you both for your cooperation."
Yun Zishu did not comment on this, and quickly led the four of them into the inner city. Under the guidance of the chamberlain, they walked towards the imperial garden.
Yun Zishu arrived quite early, but the others were obviously earlier than her.
This season, the peonies in the Dongyou Palace are in full bloom, with colorful purples and reds, and colorful butterflies and bees flying... The eyes are filled with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and all kinds of elegant dresses are flying, almost dazzling people's eyes.
Yun Zishu paused slightly. The noble ladies from the aristocratic family had obviously arrived. Look at the parade in front of her, as if they were here to choose a concubine. They were all dressed in delicate colors and brightly dressed. They really competed with each other in beauty.
.
When the chamberlain was about to report loudly, Yun Zishu turned to look at him: "There is no need to report."
The chamberlain shuddered, lowered his head and responded: "What the Queen wants is for the Crown Princess to get acquainted with the ladies of the aristocratic families first, and it would be best if they can get along with each other. Even if they don't, I hope you can maintain the demeanor of the Crown Princess as much as possible.
"
"The Crown Princess's demeanor?" Yun Zishu half-smiled, "Does it mean that I won't be able to fight back when hit or scolded?"
"No, this is not what I meant..."
"I know what's going on." Yun Zishu said calmly, "You can go and get busy."
"yes."
As soon as Yun Zishu entered the garden, she attracted the attention of some people. A woman's question came from not far away: "Who is this person who just came? Why have I never seen him before?"
The two companions who were with her turned around when they heard this, and their eyes fell on Yun Zishu, looking at her with eyes: "She looks pretty good, but since she is someone we have never seen before, she probably doesn't come from a noble family.
of."
"Don't jump to conclusions easily." Princess Wuyang, who was standing next to them, said unhurriedly, "You haven't seen her, and you don't know her, but you should know the clothes she's wearing, right?"
Several noble ladies took a closer look, and their expressions suddenly changed.
She...she actually wears a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin?
The highest-ranking queen in the harem can wear a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, followed by the imperial concubine wearing a seven-tailed phoenix hairpin. This woman is so young and beautiful, so it is obvious that she cannot be the imperial concubine, and it is not like they have never seen the imperial concubine before.
So who is she?
Look at the gorgeous red dress Yun Zishu is wearing. The long skirt is also embroidered with a seven-tailed phoenix pattern...
"Your Highness the Crown Princess!" Huangfu Chuchu, who was staying in the pavilion in the Peony Garden, saw Yun Zishu from a distance and quickly waved to her, "Come here and sit down."
After she shouted this, all the ladies in the garden turned their heads and looked over, and dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Yun Zishu in unison.
