When Sicang left the palace, Yu Ruyi had already been sent to the prince's mansion. The two eunuchs responsible for sending Yu Ruyi off met the prince when they went out. They knelt down and saluted quickly: "See your highness, the prince."
Si Cang hummed and stepped across the threshold.
He is not worried about Yu Ruyi. The things rewarded by the palace - no matter what they are rewarded or who sends them, they must be tested for poison before they are sent to the princess. Those that cannot be tested are temporarily sent to the warehouse.
, don’t let anything of unknown origin get close to the Crown Princess.
He had set such a rule long ago. The stewards of the Prince's Mansion and the people appointed by Qifeng Palace were all reliable people. Everyone was strictly abiding by this rule, so there was nothing to worry about.
When she returned to Qifeng Hall, Yun Zishu was reading an invitation. When she saw Sicang coming back, a smile naturally appeared on her face: "Leng Yue said that the palace sent two jade Ruyi handles, and they took them to the warehouse.
Already."
"I know." Sicang walked over and asked, "Who handed the invitation?"
"Chu Chu." Yun Zishu put down the invitation, "The general's palace should have invited a lot of people to celebrate Chu Chu's birthday this time."
Sicang sat down next to her: "After coming out of Situ's house, I went into the palace."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Because of Yu Ruyi's matter?"
"Yes." Si Cang nodded, "The jade Ruyi was given to me by Concubine Gua. The emperor said that you are pregnant. You often play with the jade Ruyi in your hands. It is good for your health."
"What good can it do?" Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "It's impossible to let our child turn into a son of God and descend to earth, right?"
Si Cang narrowed his eyes: "Just ignore her."
"Concubine Gua is indeed quite capable. She figured out that I was pregnant so quickly." Yun Zishu leaned on the couch, the corners of her mouth raised slightly mockingly, "Originally I wanted to hide it for three months.
It seems I can’t hide it anymore.”
Next, let's see how many people know about her pregnancy. If Concubine Gua has a pure mind, then she should know that the woman is pregnant without having to spread it to everyone. The fewer people who know, the better.
If she had bad intentions...
Yun Zishu stroked her belly gently and her eyes turned cold. Anyone who wanted to take advantage of her child would never give up.
After lunch, Yun Zishu took a nap for half an hour. Sicang went to the study and ordered Leng Shuang to bring over two handles of jade Ruyi.
"Did you notice anything unusual?"
"My subordinates and Lianyue have tested it, and it's non-toxic." Leng Shuang frowned, "It's just that the jade Ruyi does have an indescribable comfort in the hand, which makes people put it down. The subordinates are not sure yet that this feeling is from the jade itself.
energy, and other reasons.”
Sicang's eyes fell on the two jade Ruyi in front of him. There was enough light in front of the window. Under the sunlight, he could see that the green jade body was crystal clear, as if there was water flowing in it, and the color was pure without any impurities.
The value of jade is already very high, and the Ruyi jade offered as tribute by other countries is of excellent quality and extremely valuable, so there is nothing to say about its color or feel.
Sicang was silent for a moment: "Take it away and put it back in the warehouse."
"yes."
Things are good things, but at this juncture, Sicang will not take any risks.
"Lotus Moon."
Lianyue, who was standing outside the door, walked in and looked at Sicang without saying a word.
Sicang ordered: "Send a message to Tangyue and ask her to come to Dongyou as soon as possible after finishing Ji's family affairs."
"yes."
"There will be a banquet at the General's palace tomorrow. Please pay attention to the list of all invited guests. Except for Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang, no one is allowed to approach the Crown Princess at will."
Lianyue hesitated: "Do the girls from the Fu family and the Xi family also need to be on guard?"
Lianyue was not sure whether Miss Fu and Miss Xi were also invited. The reason why she asked was because the Fu family and the Xi family were princelings, and she also knew that Miss Fu had a good relationship with the crown prince.
Sicang was silent for a moment: "Beware."
"yes."
Sicang closed his eyes and thought for a while, "The Situ family has also sent people to keep an eye on it for the past two days. Be careful if someone jumps over the wall."
"Yes." Lianyue turned and left.
The sadness in Guojiu's residence did not affect the excitement of other residences.
Huangfu Chuchu's birthday is coming soon.
General Wang Huangfu Liyuan made great military achievements in his life. During those years, he followed the emperor in the south and north, and the friendship between the emperor and his ministers was unshakable.
What is admirable is that not only did he have outstanding achievements, he was granted the title of the only king with a different surname in Dongyou by the emperor. He was also single-minded and loyal in his love. Compared with the ordinary three wives and four concubines, the inner house was full of mist, and there were many concubines and concubines.
The noble family, the great general and the prince's style are so upright that it is almost impossible to find faults.
Therefore, among the women from the imperial family, I don’t know how many of them dream of Huangfu Lingfeng, the legitimate son of the general’s palace. Even though Huangfu Lingfeng has a reputation of being unruly and unruly, it cannot stop the women from dreaming of having a powerful and unruly man.
A man who is flirtatious and not sentimental should be his husband.
However, at the same time, the men of the aristocratic family had completely different attitudes towards Fu Chuchu, the direct empress of the Huangfu family.
Most women want a dedicated husband, but men like to have three wives and four concubines.
The status of the legitimate daughter of the general's palace is so prominent that any man would be under pressure to marry her, not to mention the risk of not being able to take a concubine. Those with a weaker family would not dare to think about it, while those with a strong and prominent family would have to think twice.
After all, joining forces means that the limelight will overshadow the royal family, and few people dare to take this risk.
So Huangfu Chuchu's marriage has been delayed so far, not entirely because Mrs. Huangfu wanted to keep her for a few more years, but also because there were too few people who sincerely wanted to marry the Huangfu family - except for the three princes who once wanted to compete for the heir apparent.
Huangfu Liyuan mentioned this matter when he was thinking about it, but Mrs. Huangfu rejected it.
Today's birthday banquet is actually a husband-choosing banquet in disguise.
Sicang and Yun Zishu arrived in a carriage outside the general's palace. There was already a lot of traffic in front of the door, and there were many guests. The noble ladies from various families walked into the palace gate with their maids. The maids and servants were holding exquisite and luxurious things in their hands.
Brocade boxes or expensive and elegant screens were carried, and there were a dazzling array of various congratulatory gifts.
"Today's battle is bigger than I thought." Yun Zishu opened the car curtain and took a look, "This shows the influence of the General's Palace."
The carriage stopped, and Sicang got out of the car first, then turned around and took Yun Zishu out of the carriage: "Most of the people here are young people, so don't be too restrained."
When celebrating a birthday at the daughter's house, all the ladies and young men of the same age are invited, and the ladies only invite a few who are particularly close friends with Mrs. Huangfu, so there won't be too many people who don't want to be present.
"The Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess have arrived——"
As the announcement rang, people who got off the carriage or stood inside and outside the door came over to salute, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince, I have met His Highness the Crown Princess."
Sicang's tone was indifferent: "No need to be polite, let's go in together."
