In the solemn and solemn inner courtyard of the palace, Xiao Xu walked in front, walking without looking sideways.
The father-in-law, who was originally here to lead the way, couldn't keep up with him at this time. He originally looked at him with admiration, but now he can only bury his head in chasing after him.
He has traveled these roads for many years, and spent his youth here for more than ten years, but for some reason, the grass, trees, palaces and palaces in front of him did not feel any familiarity in his eyes, as if he was the Like a passerby.
Following his footsteps, he soon arrived at the entrance of Chaoyang Palace.
Four years ago, when he came out of prison, the closed door opened in front of him.
Luo Yun brought a group of palace servants to greet him with a smile.
"His Royal Highness, you are here, the Empress has been talking about you all day. Today, before dawn, she explained to her old body that she will wait for you at the gate of the palace!" Luo Yun said with a smile after leading everyone to salute.
Xiao Xu didn't react to her words, but responded lightly.
After all, it is an old man in the palace, His Highness's indifferent appearance did not make Luo Yun's face pale, she continued to smile and said, "The Empress is waiting for Your Highness in the palace."
Xiao Xu nodded lightly, then took a big step and entered the palace.
Luo Yun sighed lightly after he entered the door. Before His Highness left the capital, the Empress should not have kept His Highness out of the door. Now the estrangement between the mother and son, I don't know when it will be resolved.
She shook her head and followed quickly.
After the three armies entered the city, Empress Liang was already restless in the palace, looking forward to it.
As soon as Empress Liang put down the teacup, she heard the palace attendant sing, "His Royal Highness the King of England is here."
Her eyes turned to the door immediately.
She saw a tall figure appearing in front of her like a god, a heroic aura that could not be concealed by armor.
Although she was very strict with Xiao Xu, after all, she was born in October, she was just a figure, and she recognized it.
"My son sees my mother."
As soon as he shook his head, the person was already in front of him, knelt down and saluted.
"After so many years, you still know how to come back! It's better to stay in that snowy mountain for the rest of your life to mine! To save this palace from being bored!" After not seeing him for many years, Queen Liang also wanted to talk to him, but he only saluted him. , the coldness of refusing people thousands of miles away, immediately aroused dissatisfaction in her heart.
"My son doesn't want to come back." Xiao Xu replied lightly.
Empress Liang also thought that he could say a few good words, but she never expected to hear him say that, and her face changed immediately.
"You unfilial son!" she yelled angrily.
In the past few years, her dissatisfaction with his unauthorized claims, refusing the Liang family girl she sent, and ignoring her instructions, was suddenly detonated at this moment.
"Xiao Xu, do you think that you have made outstanding military exploits and are capable? This palace tells you, what kind of military exploits are you? When you have absolute power in your hands, then you are really capable!"
After saying this, Empress Liang was not satisfied, she clasped the veil with her fingers, clenched it tightly in her hand, and continued to scold.
"Bengong has worked so hard to arrange the path for you, why don't you go and choose a path that has no future?"
"Empress mother, what you said is wrong. Erchen is no longer a yellow-mouthed child. He knows right from wrong, what is right and what is wrong! Please don't worry about Erchen." Every time you enter the palace, you will endure this storm , Xiao Xu has become accustomed to it.
"Do you know how to distinguish right from wrong? Then why are you still obsessed with it? Xu'er, you can't be a little ambitious! Do you just want to be a reckless man who comes and goes when someone calls you? Those things were originally yours, why do you have to hand them over to others? With your intelligence, it is not difficult to win the favor of your father at all, so why can't you have a heart?"
Luo Yun just came in with a teacup, when he saw that the mother and son began to misalign themselves again, and immediately stepped forward, put the tray on the table, reached out and stroked Queen Liang's back, soothingly said, "Queen Empress, Your Highness has just returned to Beijing, I'm sure I'm very tired, let's talk about it. His Highness is still kneeling now, do you want him to get up first?"
"I have no excuse for what my mother said, and I don't want to defend myself." Xiao Xu felt that his mother's words hurt his forehead, and frowned slightly.
Empress Liang had already been occupied by Concubine Yue during this period of time. Her Majesty's heart was unhappy, but now her son is not caring, so she can't help her. Just hit him.
"You pervert!"
In Luo Yun's exclamation, with a "bang", the teacup slammed into his shoulder, and the hot tea inside poured over him, the pale yellow water dripped down the armor, and the tea fell to the ground.
The floor was soaked little by little, and the clouds of flowers fainted.
Many things, with the dense water vapor, cool little by little.
in the Royal Palace.
Chu Qingyan walked out of the room. She had already changed into a thin scarlet shirt with gold and silver lines on her body. She had just taken a bath, her skin was fragrant and tender, and she felt comfortable.
Because of their return, the house is very busy, Hongyi has already taken people to handle affairs, Huang Yi is preparing dinner, Luyi is making the bed, Lan Yi is tidying up in the study, and now with her are Jasper, Xiaoxi and Qingyi. .
She had nothing to do, so she involuntarily walked under the tall banyan tree. In the past four years, the banyan tree has grown a lot taller, with luxuriant branches and leaves, obscuring the scorching sun.
She looked up at the banyan tree and remembered that in Kyoto that year, many stories about her and the big ice cube happened under this tree, which was really nostalgic.
At this time, Qing Yi looked at her eyes on the banyan tree and couldn't help but said, "Princess Concubine, since you have been away all these years, the servants have sent people here to trim the grass and trees every day, and they have taken good care of them."
Chu Qingyan turned to look at her, "It's hard work."
Qing Yi shook her head and followed her with a smile.
"Are there any scars from the injury back then?" She remembered that Qingyi was seriously injured in order to save her when she was in the inn. Although she recuperated for a while, she was too busy to take care of herself because of too many things that happened, so she couldn't ask questions.
I didn't expect that after so many years, the princess still remembers this incident.
Qing Yi shook her head after being stunned, "The medicine given by Master Kongling is very effective, and now it's all healed up. Thank you Wang Fei for thinking about it."
Chu Qingyan shook her head and said guiltily, "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be hurt. It's right that I care about you."
At this moment, Tu Ling walked in, stood in front of his little princess, bowed his head and said respectfully, "The master has already left the palace, and in another quarter of an hour, he will arrive at the palace."
Chu Qingyan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, inform everyone, go out of the palace to welcome His Highness back."
