Whether it's jealousy or hatred, resentment or sorrow, Jun Chengyan's life has come to an end. Even if he is alive, he has no chance to do anything.
Back at the palace, Ling Qiyang was eating breakfast. Jun Lixuan touched his rosy face, and then his stomach, as a greeting to him and the children.
"Jun Chengyan has already been sent," Ling Qiyang asked, feeling that Jun Lixuan came back earlier than he expected.
"En." Jun Lixuan nodded, and sat on the side to accompany him.
"I think the emperor is kind enough to arrange a quiet place for him. If he really stays with those crazy people, even good people will go crazy." As a doctor, Ling Qiyang also understands a normal person If a person is locked up with a madman, that kind of despair will really drive a person crazy. This is why most of the people in the cold palace have gone crazy, and those who haven't gone crazy are just a matter of time.
"Royal father probably felt sorry for him. After all, royal father never valued him. The Rong family not only used him, but also killed his mother and concubine. Even if he was wrong in every way, he didn't really hurt others. Take revenge for your mother and concubine." Jun Lixuan guessed that Emperor Yanxi was not exiled for this reason. Besides, it is almost the end of the new year, and everything should be postponed and lightly sentenced, so as to accumulate blessings for the new year.
"Well, that's fine. Anyway, Rong's party has been wiped out, and Jun Chengyan won't be able to cause any more disturbances. Let's forgive others." Ling Qiyang laughed. The days after that are considered unclean, and other things are not so important. As for the First Prince, they never put him in their eyes, so naturally they have nothing to fear.
Jun Lixuan nodded, changed the subject, and said, "Second Brother will go to Beijing in a few days. It is rare for Second Brother to come back during the Chinese New Year. This year must be even more lively."
"Yes. Has the emperor arranged for the second prince's residence?" Ling Qiyang asked. Doing the math, it has been a full year since he married into Prince Lin's Mansion, and the time flies by, it is really amazing.
"Not yet, I guess it will be arranged in these two days." Thinking about it, this matter should not fall on him.
"Even if I didn't arrange it for you, you should take care of one or two. After all, when we went to the second brother's fiefdom, he was quite considerate to us." Although Jun Chengjing is the prince, he has been away from Beijing for many years, and it is rare When he came back during the New Year's Eve, he naturally couldn't make him feel strange.
"Well, don't worry. I'll let someone arrange it." Jun Lixuan said with a smile.
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Yanxi entrusted Jun Liyuan with receiving the second prince and arranging the residence.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, six departments will close their pens, and they will not resume work until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jun Chengjing and his party arrived in the capital, and Jun Lixuan and Jun Liyuan went to pick him up at the gate of the city.
Jun Chengjing didn't lead many people, and a small team was not very conspicuous. At most, it was regarded as a party of merchants. The guard in the lead obviously recognized Jun Lixuan, and hurriedly signaled to stop, then got off his horse and said to Jun Chengjing in the car: "Master, His Highness Lin Wang is here."
Hearing this, Jun Chengjing immediately lifted the curtain of the car, and said with a smile, "Seventh brother. The third brother is also here." The guard had never seen Jun Liyuan, so it was natural that he didn't inform him.
"Second brother." The two walked over.
"It's so cold, have you been waiting for a long time?" Jun Chengjing felt a little sorry, "Come up and get warm."
The two of them didn't see each other and got into the carriage. As generals, neither of them is afraid of the cold, it's just that the second brother is kind and they haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they want to exchange pleasantries.
The leading guard led the convoy and followed Jun Liyuan's guards to the arranged post house, while the three of them were chatting about the old days in the stable carriage.
"Where's the sixth brother?" It stands to reason that both of them have come, and the sixth brother will definitely follow, but he didn't see anyone, so he asked.
Jun Liyuan smiled helplessly: "Lao Liu is angry with the emperor, and also asked the emperor to divide the fief, and wants to go to the fief like you."
"What's the matter?" Jun Chengjing asked puzzledly. He knew that their father was the best for Jun Liche, how could he make Jun Liche so angry
"He took a fancy to his young son, but my father didn't agree." Jun Liyuan said simply: "So he got angry, so he didn't ask about any political affairs, and just waited for his father to order him to leave Beijing. Pick you up Although the matter is a family matter, it can also be regarded as a political matter, so he did not follow."
"Who is that Qingzi?" Jun Chengjing asked again.
"It's Qi Yang's cousin, the child from his father's side, now registered as a householder." Jun Lixuan said. The matter of raising a shadow guard was originally raised without telling others. Now that Xiaoying has an official status, there is no need to mention the matter of the shadow guard. And for Jun Chengjing, one thing more is worse than one thing less.
"The sixth one wants Feiqing not to marry?" He didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to Jun Liche.
"En." Jun Liyuan nodded, "That's him, if it were someone else, father would definitely be furious."
"Father has high expectations for Lao Liu, and I think he would rather marry a woman. Li Xuan has already married Qingzi, and you and Lao Liu have no concubines. It is only natural for Father to plan carefully." Jun Cheng Jing paused, then continued: "The emperor's concubines are all women. This is the rule set by the ancestors. Although it's okay to be a queen in the palace, a woman is always a good son. If Li Che marries Qingzi, everyone's eyes will be on her." They will all stay with you, and your choice of concubine will also become the focus of discussion in the court."
"I..." Jun Liyuan sighed slightly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my father's wish..."
Jun Chengjing looked at him unexpectedly, "You..."
Jun Liyuan smiled helplessly, "The person I like is not a woman."
Jun Chengjing was speechless for a while, then sighed and said: "I really convinced you two. Well, the most important thing is that you are happy about this matter. If you need help, just tell me that you will do your best for my brother."
"Well, then thank you second brother first." Jun Liyuan nodded, it's always good to have one more person to help.
"How is my younger brother?" Jun Chengjing knew that he couldn't care too much about their affairs, so he changed the topic.
"Well, it's not bad." Jun Lixuan said with a smile, "It's been eight months, and they are twins. They say they may be born prematurely at any time, so be careful."
"It's actually twins. Congratulations. It's so fast, you're going to be a father." Jun Chengjing laughed.
Thinking of her child who might be born at any time, Jun Lixuan couldn't help but feel happy, "Qi Yang wanted to come along, but the temperature in Beijing has dropped sharply recently, so I let him stay at the house."
"It should be, we are not outsiders, it's important for my younger brother to take care of myself. I will go to your house to see him after I finish meeting my father." Jun Chengjing laughed.
"Okay." If he wanted to come, Jun Lixuan would naturally welcome him.
The three talked about the journey, and after sending Jun Chengjing to the posthouse, considering his hard work along the way, Jun Lixuan and Jun Liyuan left on a new trip, and made an appointment to meet again in Prince Yi's Mansion in a few days.
The next day, Jun Chengjing entered the palace to face the saint. After greeting Emperor Yanxi and talking about the situation of the fiefdom, he went to Yakun Palace to meet the queen.
The queen felt very sorry for this child who left Beijing at a young age, asked him carefully how his life was, and told him to pay attention to his body. In the end, he left him in the Yakun Palace, saying that he would return to the post house after the ceremony at the beginning of the year.
Jun Chengjing was very moved by the empress's concern, and gave the empress the prayer beads she asked for personally, expressing her filial piety. The emperor heard the report from the maid in the queen's palace, saying that the queen would like to invite the second prince to stay in the palace for a few days, he didn't say much, just nodded. He knew that the empress was benevolent, and it was reasonable to keep the child here.
On New Year's Eve, as usual, it is a feast for the entire palace, and all the princes and relatives must participate. Xiaoying and Mo Qingge are not qualified to go, even if Jun Liche doesn't want to go, he can't make things difficult for the emperor and queen on this day. Fortunately, Ling Qiyang has already considered this issue, and made an agreement with his father and master to bring Xiaoying and Mo Qingge to the house together, and have New Year's dinner with them.
Now both Jun Liyuan and Jun Liche are relieved, after all, no one wants to leave the person they like alone in the mansion during the New Year. No matter how rich the food is, it can't cover up the loneliness of being alone.
After noon, Xiaoying and Mo Qingge came to Prince Lin's Mansion in a carriage. They first said hello to Father Ling and Gu Yao, and then went to chat with Ling Qiyang.
Looking at his big belly, Mo Qingge asked with some concern: "Is it okay for you to go out like this?"
Xiaoying also frowned, feeling that Ling Qiyang really shouldn't go out like this, "That's right, it snowed all night yesterday, the road is difficult to walk, can't you ask the palace for leave?"
"Today is a big day, it's in accordance with the rules not to go here." Ling Qiyang smiled and shook his head. Recently, these two children have become more and more active. Sometimes he was very tired from being tossed by these two little things, and he just wanted to lie down, and he didn't even want to go for a walk.
Sometimes the royal rules are really inappropriate, but there is no way, no one can change the rules of the ancestors.
Seeing that the two still had disapproval faces, Ling Qiyang smiled and said: "It's okay, at worst, I'll go to the emperor's place to rest after eating." The reason why he didn't worry too much is because the child has grown up now, even if he wants to come out, No big deal either.
"Okay. The road is slippery in the snow, you should go early later. There is no need to rush on the road, just walk slowly." Mo Qingge said helplessly.
"Well, I know. You don't have to be too cautious in the mansion, just say what you want to eat." Ling Qiyang said.
"Don't worry. It's also thanks to your thoughtfulness that Xiaoying and I won't celebrate the New Year by ourselves." Mo Qingge laughed. In fact, he had also thought about the scene of eating New Year's dinner alone before, and he knew that he had to let Jun Liyuan go. Now that Ling Qiyang called him and Xiaoying over, it made him forget the sense of loss at that time.
"Yeah." Xiaoying nodded at the side. Originally, he was sad because the emperor didn't agree with him and Jun Liche. Although Jun Liche had been with him all this time and didn't show any worries, he knew that Jun Liche also had a knot in his heart. Because he is not recognized. In addition to Jun Liche's move to stay with him even if he gave up his future, although he was moved, he still felt sorry for Jun Liche, so he could only treat him better to make up for it. With all these things, Xiaoying feels that the pressure is extremely high. Although this will not affect the relationship between them, it is still a problem that cannot be ignored. Now being able to come to Prince Lin's Mansion to celebrate the New Year with Ling Daddy and the others also made Xiaoying, who has been under a lot of pressure recently, feel a lot more relaxed, and her mood is also much smoother.
"Actually, I asked you to come over to celebrate the new year. I also hope that you will accompany my father and master for me. Although they are in the palace, I have to enter the palace. It is really unfilial to not be able to accompany each other." Ling Qiyang smiled. He really wanted to spend a new year with his father and master, especially after knowing that the master was actually his father. But he couldn't, which really made him a little depressed.
Xiaoying smiled and said: "Then Qingge and I will accompany daddy and senior on your behalf, so you can enter the palace with peace of mind." This is also killing two birds with one stone.
"En." Ling Qiyang smiled and nodded.
While the three were talking, Jun Lixuan walked in and said to Ling Qiyang: "The carriage is ready, let's go early."
"En." Ling Qiyang smiled and stood up.
Jun Lixuan took the fox fur cloak on the couch to wrap him tightly, put on the hat again, and said to Mo Qingge and Xiaoying beside him: "Thank you, you are here to accompany Daddy and Senior."
"My lord, you are being polite." Xiaoying said with a smile.
"Yes, we should thank the prince for allowing us to come." Mo Qingge continued.
"After the banquet is over, the third brother and the sixth brother will come to pick you up. If you are afraid of being sleepy at night, you can go to rest politely first." Jun Lixuan supported Ling Qiyang, and said to the two.
"Yes, thank you, my lord." Xiaoying and Mo Qingge replied.
Jun Lixuan didn't say anything more, carefully supported Ling Qiyang and walked slowly towards the gate of the palace...
