The eldest princess of Qinghe sighed slightly, nodded at the eunuch, and said, "The palace knows, change your clothes and go to the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

The eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The slave maid is here waiting for you to enter the palace together." ”

The ninth princess frowned slightly: "What, are you afraid that this palace will not be able to escape?" ”

The eunuch's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The slave maid doesn't dare, but His Majesty ordered it, saying that there is an urgent matter to discuss with His Highness, and the slave and maid want to take His Highness directly into the palace, which is also more convenient." ”

The eldest princess frowned and said: "There is nothing inconvenient, the palace has to dress up, change into formal clothes to face the king, and the father-in-law will go back first." ”

Ordinary ministers may not dare to refuse the meaning of the eunuchs in the palace, especially this kind of eunuchs who come to pass on the holy decree, after all, no one knows whether it is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, and these eunuchs are all close ministers of the Son of Heaven, and the distance between them and the emperor is much closer than that of outsiders, and the ministers are inevitably a little jealous, and they have always been polite to these eunuchs.

But the eldest princess doesn't need to, she is the princess of the heavenly family, these eunuchs are theoretically her family's house slaves, at least they are also her mother's house slaves, and the Son of Heaven is her brother, she doesn't need to be polite to these eunuchs.

The eunuch's face turned pale, and he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes, the slave and maid will retreat first." ”

After speaking, he turned back, stepped into the sedan chair, and left the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

After the eunuch left, the eldest princess turned her head to look at Yu Linwei, who came to deliver the letter, and a smile appeared on her face: "Can Master Hou still let you bring a message?" ”

She knew in her heart that the people who could be sent back by her husband to deliver letters to her family were absolute confidants, so she was quite polite in her words.

Deng Feng bowed his head deeply and said respectfully: "Back to the eldest princess, the Hou Ye also said to the humble position, let the eldest princess wait at home with peace of mind these days, and try not to let the family go out." ”

"Master Hou said, everything is waiting for him to return to Beijing..."

The eldest princess nodded with a complicated face and said, "I know." ”

"Brother Deng has been busy and hard along the way, so let's go and rest."

Deng Feng bowed deeply and said in a deep voice: "Retire from your humble position." ”

With that, he also turned to leave.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess felt a little depressed in her heart.

Since a few months ago, the imperial brother called her into the palace and said that he would take Zhong Xiaoxiao into the palace and be crowned a princess, she keenly felt that something was not right, although she had no way to inform Li Xin of this matter, but for a few months, she had been pressed in her heart and had not forgotten it.

Now, her husband has returned to Beijing triumphantly, but people have sent a message back to tell the family not to go out, which makes her feel that something is not right.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess turned around and squatted down, stretched out her hand to take Zhong Xiaoxiao's hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, you have been staying at home for the past few days, no matter who asks you to go out, you don't want to go out, understand?" ”

Xiaoxiao has always been a very well-behaved person, and nodded obediently when she heard the words.

"Got it, sister-in-law."

The eldest princess stood up at this time, her face was solemn, and she turned back to the maid behind her and said, "Cui'er, change my clothes." ”

Cui'er bowed her head and said, "Yes." ”

…………

When it was close to noon, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess entered the palace and under the guidance of several eunuchs, she successfully came to Weiyang Palace to wait for the decree.

It is worth mentioning that now the center of the palace has completely shifted from the Changle Palace of the Chengde Dynasty to the Weiyang Palace.

When it was almost noon, a eunuch walked up to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, kowtowed, and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the side hall, please go in." ”

The eldest princess stood up from her seat, glanced at the eunuch, and then said slowly, "Lead the way." ”

After a short time, they arrived at the side hall of Weiyang Palace, which was also the place where Taikang Tianzi ate.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was sitting at a table full of food.

After the ninth princess walked into the side hall, she made a blessing to the Son of Heaven.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven was originally in a trance, and he was suddenly startled when he heard the words, so he looked up at his sister-in-law and smiled: "Why haven't you seen you for a while, and you have been divided so much, and you don't even call an imperial brother?" ”

"Come and sit down."

The eldest princess didn't sit down, but said with a smile: "In the past, the courtiers didn't understand the rules, but a few days ago, the queen mother told the courtiers to let the courtiers call her majesty." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the table in front of the Son of Heaven and said softly, "The courtiers dare not share the table with the imperial brother." ”

The Son of Heaven usually has his own table and wants to eat "alone".

Taikang Tianzi beckoned nonchalantly.

"What are the rules and regulations, you are the sister-in-law of my mother's compatriots, and when you are a family, you will come and sit when you are called."

The eldest princess had no choice but to sit down on the right side of the Son of Heaven, then looked down at the food on the table, and said with a smile: "I heard that the imperial brother has become more and more frugal since he ascended the throne, and only eats four dishes at a meal, why is his appetite so good today?" ”

The Son of Heaven laughed.

"First, the state affairs are going well, the southwest has been calmed, and I am happy, and secondly, Xiao Jiu is coming, I specially ordered the imperial chef to let them get a few more dishes."

"It's all what you used to like to eat."

As he spoke, the Son of Heaven pointed to a plate of meat skewers on the table, and said with a smile: "There are still a few in the imperial kitchen that I brought out from the Wei Palace, and I asked them to grill some meat skewers for you." ”

The eldest princess's heart warmed, and she bowed her head and said, "Thank you, brother Huang." ”

The Son of Heaven smiled and said: "You, you were not so polite before you got married, you can eat whatever you want in my Wei Palace, and you can take whatever you like, like a little overlord." ”

The ninth princess looked pale and a little embarrassed.

"At that time, the courtier's sister was young and didn't know anything......"

The brother and sister talked about the old for a while, and then the Son of Heaven got back to business, and said with a smile: "I called you over in such a hurry, I actually wanted to surprise you." ”

As he spoke, he took out an official document from his sleeve and handed it to the Ninth Princess.

"This is the official letter I only received this morning, I know that you want someone, and as soon as you receive it, you will be summoned to the palace."

The ninth princess knew in her heart that in this official document was the news that Li Xin was about to return to Beijing.

She didn't open it, and said with a smile: "Is it the news that Chang'an is coming back?" ”

The Son of Heaven was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

The ninth princess covered her mouth and smiled: "It's a coincidence, my sister also received a report from Chang'an in the morning, saying that he will be back in a few days." ”

If Taikang Tianzi was very concerned about Li Xin's side, then Li Xin couldn't hide the matter of Li Xin's sending someone back from him at all, so the Ninth Princess simply told the truth and did not hide it in this matter.

The Son of Heaven put aside the official document and said with a smile: "It seems that Chang'an is still thinking about you, and sent news to you and the imperial court at the same time." ”

"He doesn't miss me."

The ninth princess snorted lightly and said: "Not long after I got married, I went out to fight, and it will be a year or two for him to go, and if he cares about me a little, he will not go to the southwest." ”

"It's inevitable to fight for the country."

The Son of Heaven glanced at the Ninth Princess and said with a smile: "In this way, when he comes back to the capital, I will make the decision for you and let him be by your side forever, how about it?" ”
