Compared with last year, the prosperity of Chang'an City is still the same, like a peaceful and prosperous era, and the war in Jizhou has not affected here.

Outside the city gate, Li Zhong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was responsible for welcoming Xiao Ming and his party.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor ordered the officials to wait here for a long time, please follow the officials into the palace."

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, his gaze interlaced with Li Zhong for a moment, and he saw a trace of unnaturalness in Li Zhong's eyes.

The secret guard has now compiled a list of the various forces of the Great Yu Kingdom, and this Li Zhong has been compiled in the line of the King of Chu, in addition to Concubine De, the third prince Xiao Zhen.

This time he came to Chang'an, Xiao Ming was careful, and it was precisely because of this that he asked the military workshop to specially build a pair of short-barreled muskets for his self-defense.

And Li San also infiltrated Chang'an in advance to collect intelligence for him, so as to prevent him from becoming blind in Chang'an.

Like last time, after entering Chang'an City, Luo Hong appeared in front of him, and he arranged the soldiers led by Luo Xin and Qi Guangyi to the camp of Jin Wuwei to repair.

The place where he lives has not changed, but the difference is that the plaque in front of the door has been replaced with the plaque of "Qi Wangfu".

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor said that this will be His Highness's residence in Chang'an in the future." Feng Deshui said with a smile.

"Father really has a heart."

Xiao Ming smiled, except for the prince of the domain, he couldn't have his own palace in Chang'an City, and now Xiao Wenxuan made an exception and gave him a palace, which shows Xiao Wenxuan's attitude towards him now.

Li Zhong also smiled, but this smile was really fake.

If Xiao Ming only changed Xiao Wenxuan's opinion of him in the Battle of Cangzhou, now that the danger of Jizhou has been lifted and Shanhaiguan has been conquered, Xiao Ming's reputation is now faintly comparable to that of the prince who has the support of the vassal king behind him.

Because, Xiao Ming has changed from an inconspicuous vassal king to a person as important as other princes.

Ordering Aster and Luluo to settle down in the palace with their servants and servants, he followed Li Zhong straight to the palace.

In the Bishui Pavilion, he met Xiao Wenxuan and Empress Zhao.

"Son-in-law, see father, queen."

When Li Zhong led Xiao Ming to the Bishui Pavilion, Xiao Ming was still a little surprised, because normally, Xiao Wenxuan would only summon the prince and ministers in the study.

However, when he saw his mother and Empress Zhao sitting side by side on both sides of Xiao Wenxuan, while the other concubines were just sitting at the bottom, he communicated.

His cheap father is very shrewd, and he must understand that no matter what reward is given to Xiao Ming now, it is not as effective as bringing the relationship between father and son closer.

"Ming'er, don't be polite, you must be tired after a long journey, come, sit down here and rest."

Xiao Wenxuan showed a fatherly smile, without the frame of an emperor, but like an ordinary father.

Empress Zhao was the same, beckoning to him and said, "Ming'er, don't stand, this is a harem, there are not so many rules, just think of it as a family getting together." ”

If it was Xiao Ming, the predecessor, he would definitely be very moved at this time, after all, he had not been treated so favorably since he was a child, and Xiao Wenxuan would not talk to him so affectionately.

"Thank you, Father, Queen."

When Xiao Ming spoke, he glanced at Concubine Zhen, who was looking at him lovingly, her eyes full of pride.

Now she is a mother and a son, and she always needs to be patient everywhere in the palace, but now, every concubine in the palace does not dare to provoke him, even the queen treats him politely, like a sister.

After thanking him, Xiao Ming sat down under Concubine Zhen.

Xiao Wenxuan smiled lightly and said: "Ming'er, it is rare for you to go back to Chang'an once, this time you are married again, it is a double happiness, tonight my father specially set up a banquet in the palace Fulin Palace, when the princesses and princes will be present, your third emperor uncle and fourth emperor uncle will also arrive, take this opportunity, our royal family can get together, so as not to be rusty, after all, now in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, only our royal family is one heart." ”

"Yes, father, my sons miss the relatives of Chang'an very much." Xiao Ming followed Xiao Wenxuan's words, and now he is basically sure that Xiao Wenxuan is playing the emotional card.

But on the other hand, when an emperor plays the emotional card, it also means that he attaches importance to this person.

Throughout the ages, it is better than that.

Xiao Ming's words made Xiao Wenxuan smile comfortably, he knew that he was very strict with Xiao Ming before, although it was also for his good, but Xiao Ming didn't necessarily think so.

Therefore, he wanted to take the opportunity to re-establish the relationship between father and son, monarch and minister.

"Well, since that's the case, my father won't say more, I won't talk about state affairs today, only family affairs, you and your mother will talk for a while, and my father will talk to you at the banquet in the evening."

Xiao Wenxuan stood up at this time, his goal had been achieved.

He summoned Xiao Ming in the Bishui Pavilion, and arranged Concubine Zhen's position in this way to tell Xiao Ming his current attitude.

Xiao Wenxuan left together, and the other concubines also got up and left, at this time, Concubine Zhen and Xiao Ming sent Xiao Wenxuan and the others out of Bishui Pavilion together, and then turned back.

"Hey, this battle is really not small." Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

He was accustomed to being free and easy in Qingzhou, and this was full of etiquette in the palace.

Concubine Zhen sighed, pulled Xiao Ming to sit down on the chair, and said, "Such a big battle is not for you to see, you have such a great credit, can your father not pay attention to you?" In the past, only when the vassal king with a different surname entered the capital, your father would take them to meet with the corresponding prince and concubine. ”

After a pause, Concubine Zhen looked at Xiao Ming and said, "However, the mother concubine is also a mother and a son now, Ming'er, you are really good now." ”

"The mother concubine has won the award, this time it's just that the son picked up Jin Wuwei's cheapness, otherwise this barbarian clan will not be easy to beat." Xiao Ming told the truth.

Concubine Zhen nodded, she didn't pay much attention to these national affairs, but said: "It's hard to come back once, don't talk about these fights and killings, let's talk about your marriage to Fei Yue'er." ”

Pursing her lips and smiling, Concubine Zhen suddenly said, "Have you received the aster and pothos?" ”

Xiao Ming was stunned when he heard this, and he said helplessly, "Mother, isn't this your will?" ”

Concubine Zhen smiled and nodded, "This is also to let you know some personnel in advance, but you have to distinguish between priorities, pothos and aster are just maids, and they will only be maids, and Fei Yue'er is the only princess, now you are no longer the king of Qi six years ago, the princes of Chang'an City are staring at you, eager to kill you, and marrying the Fei family means that you have a mouth to speak for you in this court, which is why there is this marriage, although the mother knows that you are not happy to participate in these messy things, But now this situation can't help you. ”

Concubine Zhen has always been smart, and she can see the problem very accurately.

What she said at this time was exactly what Xiao Ming was thinking, so he said, "Mother, my son-in-law remembers." ”
