When the eunuch shouted "the prince is here", many people were shocked. The crown prince is clearly out of town for disaster relief, why did he suddenly come back
Cheng Yujin was also surprised at first, and then finally realized what happened, and immediately walked out quickly: "His Royal Highness!"
Li Chengjing had already entered the hall. He had just arrived in the capital. He was wearing an indigo-colored uniform, with narrow sleeves and a waist, slender and straight. Different from the wide robes and large sleeves of the previous dynasty, this dress is leaner and more aggressive.
He walked into the hall, obviously without too many words, but the aura of his body naturally caused everyone to disperse backwards, making a long passage for him. Li Chengjing's eyebrows were frosty, and his every move carried the killing spirit that he had cultivated from the Shura field in the disaster area. In the past few months, Li Chengjing has been facing the dead, natural disasters, man-made disasters, death, plagues in the disaster area all day long. The scene in this is beyond the imagination of the people in the splendid piles of Beijing.
Li Chengjing's aura also changed completely.
Li Chengjing's aura didn't restrain, until he saw Cheng Yujin walking towards him in the crowd, Li Chengjing's brows relaxed, revealing a rare warmth.
Cheng Yujin jumped to Li Chengjing's side. She had been calm and rational all this time, and she would not give in an inch when she saw the move, but at this moment, she seemed to be filled with infinite grievances, and her voice unintentionally brought a cry: "His Royal Highness."
Li Chengjing quickly took two steps forward and caught Cheng Yujin. Li Chengjing saw Cheng Yujin's red eyes and Shui Yingying's eyes, and his whole heart clenched into a ball. He wiped the tears from Cheng Yujin's eyes and said softly, "I'm back, it's alright."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Cheng Yujin behind him and looked up at the people above, from his eyebrows to his eyes to his aura, the whole person was different: "I am alone in disaster relief, not in the palace, so you are treating the crown princess like this. and the orphaned child?"
Empress Yang was a little embarrassed, why did Li Chengjing come back at this time. She smiled and tried to cover it up: "The prince's return is a happy event. It's too late for us to be happy. What does the prince mean by this?"
"Happy? If this is the happiness of the Queen Mother and the Queen, I'm afraid Gu can't bear it." Li Chengjing said indifferently, "Gu rushed to Beijing today, but when he first entered the East Palace, he learned that the Queen Mother's concubine's calling month has returned. On the way, I also vaguely heard some remarks about orphans.”
Empress Dowager Yang had no scruples towards Cheng Yujin, but when she saw Li Chengjing coming in, her back subconsciously straightened. Even the old nun, who had just looked like a man, lowered his head at this moment and quietly gave two steps to the side, not daring to face His Royal Highness.
Everyone was a little embarrassed, and the clan princes who were watching the excitement were like quails at the moment, and they didn't dare to have the slightest sense of existence. The emperor's face was also a little troubled. He coughed lightly and said, "Prince, why are you back? Why didn't you send any news back?"
"Erchen has arranged everything in the disaster area and immediately set off to return to Beijing to return to his life. The memorial to the imperial court is also on the way, but Erchen is faster than the troops at the post station and arrives in Beijing one step ahead of the memorial." Li Chengjing finished speaking, yes The emperor surrendered: "Fortunately, my son has not been disgraced, the plague has been eradicated, and all the victims have been properly accommodated. When my son left, the reconstruction of the house was on the right track. My son returned to Beijing to return to the Holy Master."
Listening to this, the floods, plagues and even post-disaster reconstruction in the south of the Yangtze River have all been dealt with. Hearing that the emperor was overjoyed, he immediately threw away the ghostly things just now, and said loudly: "Okay! The prince has done a good job on his errand, and he will be rewarded."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Li Chengjing finished speaking, there was no happy expression on his face after receiving the reward. Instead, he turned the topic and glanced at the Empress Dowager Yang suddenly with sharp eyes. It’s easy to come back alive from the plague land. I wanted to go back to the East Palace to take a rest and restore my face. But when I returned to the palace, I found that the East Palace was empty. I asked the eunuch who was watching the door, only to know that the princess was called away by the queen mother early. Except for the prince The concubine, your majesty, the queen and even the clan relatives are all in the Cining Palace today. Gu didn't want to disturb others, so he came to the Cining Palace alone, but when he entered the door, he heard a wonderful inference."
Empress Dowager Yang didn't dare to look at Li Chengjing, and turned away silently. Li Chengjing glanced at Empress Yang coldly, and then turned to the old nanny with a wise face: "Master, who did you say is ominous and who you said you want to move outside the palace? Say it again in front of Gu. "
The old nun folded his hands together and said "Amitabha", looking at the ground, where can he still speak. Li Chengjing took a step forward, his eyes slowly swept across the many princes and princesses on both sides: "Do you think so too?"
Everyone hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and even scattered back, with a very embarrassed expression on their faces. Seeing that no one answered, Li Chengjing nodded slightly and looked at Empress Yang: "Is that what the Empress meant?"
Empress Yang was a little embarrassed. After the people around her dispersed, she stood in the middle, neither advancing nor retreating, and she was very unable to come down to the stage. Hearing Li Chengjing's words, she forced a smile and said, "The prince was busy giving the crown prince a favor as soon as he came back. It must be too anxious. The matter of the crown prince has nothing to do with this palace."
"If Gu is not in a hurry, or comes back two days later, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the crown princess and the unborn child." Li Chengjing sneered, eyes full of swords and swords, "The queen can't remember, that Gu Lai Remind the queen one or two. Gu Yi was criticized for being ominous when he was born. At the age of five, he was moved to recuperate outside the palace for the same reason. Then that year, the mountain torrent swept down the Qingxuan Temple and nearly lost his life. Now the queen wants to take the crown princess Also moved outside the palace, this time, could there be some natural disaster too"
Empress Yang was forced to step back again and again, unable to speak. She was the successor, the eldest son of the empress who was originally married, and was naturally weak. Empress Dowager Yang was annoyed when she heard that, she straightened up from the sickbed, and said, "Prince, the queen is your mother-in-law. You talk to her like this. Could it be that this is your style as a prince?"
"Serving the country alone, the queen mother first listened to the inexplicable rumors, and asked the maid, who specializes in abortions for palace maids, to touch the fetus for the crown princess. Now, the queen has invited the nuns of Faling Temple, and kept saying that the princess was in the womb. The fetus is fierce and ominous, colliding with the elders, and moving the dignified princess to the outside of the palace. Is this the way the queen mother and queen are elders?"
Li Chengjing's voice was clear and solemn, implying majesty, and he actually stunned everyone. Empress Dowager Yang was also unable to speak under such pressure, Li Chengjing swept his eyes across the crowd, and held Cheng Yujin tightly in the other hand, and said, "The solitary is an ominous person. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu was born on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, which is already the worst in the world. Even if the fetus in the crown of the princess is really ominous, the father of the guru is Gu, who is willing to do it. If the queen mother wants to get rid of evil, the first one will Dispose of it alone."
The prince's words are very offensive. He was a negligent in the palace when he was living in the people. Although no one mentions the prince's unlucky birthday and poor parenting now, but in those days, the harm of these words was real. of. Since Li Chengjing came back, everyone has deliberately avoided what happened in the past, but now Li Chengjing personally tore it bloody, and no one can speak.
A prince next to him is always kind and enthusiastic, and is the most popular in the clan. He heard the words and smiled and cupped his hands: "Prince's words are not good. Although you were born on the Dragon Boat Festival, how can a mere birthday determine the fate of a person's life. About The auspicious and unlucky words of birthdays are just being said by everyone to make fun of it. There are different schools of ghosts and gods, and sometimes they cannot be trusted. Besides, ghosts and gods are also changed by living people. All the victims of the disaster can be rescued, it can be seen that the dragon's spirit is pure and pure, and God blesses it. With the prince here, he is just sneaky, and he will not dare to do it again."
With the beginning of the prince, others also responded. When the royal family quarreled, it was inevitable that these honored Buddhas could not be expected to find their way down the stairs. The emperor, the queen mother, the queen, and the prince, none of these people can afford to offend them, and they can only make peace with them.
When the atmosphere gradually calmed down, the emperor came out to smooth things out: "Okay, the prince has been on the road for several days, and the boat is tired. I must be tired. The prince will go back to rest first, and I will call the cabinet in a while, and the prince will also come to the Qianqing Palace to resume his life. The matter in Jiangnan is no trivial matter. No delay."
Li Chengjing responded. After the emperor finished speaking, he had the title of dealing with national affairs, and went out justifiably. With the emperor at the head, the others followed suit, intending to leave the stage. The crowd dispersed, Li Chengjing shook Cheng Yujin's hand reassuringly, and Cheng Yujin shook his head at him, indicating that he was fine.
Li Chengjing reluctantly settled down, he led Cheng Yujin for two steps, suddenly stopped, and looked at the old nun with a pair of ice-filled eyes: "Master, stop for a while, there is only one thing to ask."
Old Ni really didn't expect to be stopped by the prince in the middle. Her head was big, but she still managed to say "Amitabha Buddha" and said with kindness and kindness: "The poor nun does not dare to be the prince. May I ask the prince, what is the order?"
Although Li Chengjing and the old nun stopped in the middle of the hall, the front and back of the place were smooth. The people who had followed the emperor out before were not finished. The distance from the couch where Empress Dowager Yang was recuperating was only separated by a curtain. Li Chengjing's words were clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. middle.
"Master said just now that the solitary child's golden energy is too strong, which is not good for the five elements. The so-called gold harms the wood, and the East Palace belongs to the wood. Now that the solitary returns to the palace, the wood energy in the palace will not be stagnant again, right?"
The old nun hesitated and didn't think of what to say for a while: "This... The poor nun dare not make a rash assertion at this moment."
"Master is not so sure?" Li Chengjing smiled slightly, but his voice contained a chill that penetrated the skin and bones, "You can't suppress Jin Xiang even if you are a prince alone, is it because of the meaning of master, you are not worthy of being alone? To be a prince?"
How dare the old nun respond to such words, she trembled all over, and immediately knelt heavily on the ground: "The poor nun dare not, the poor nun did not intend to do so."
"This is the best." Li Chengjing said slowly, "Gu see Shitai's research on yin and yang and the five elements is not very thorough. From now on, Shitai should concentrate on practicing in Faling Temple. Walk outside again. If you enter the palace next time, and you say something indiscriminately, you will not only be alone in the collision."
The old nun was drenched in cold sweat and was very afraid of Li Chengjing's almost obvious threat. She knew that she might not be able to come out to meet people for a long time, otherwise, not only would her own life be in danger, but even Faling Temple would not be able to die peacefully.
There was no movement behind the curtain, and the many clansmen who walked to the gate of the palace looked at each other, all with sullen faces, and quietly left.
After returning to Ciqing Palace, Cheng Yujin couldn't bear it any longer, and almost burst into tears on the spot: "His Royal Highness..."
Li Chengjing's fierce armor faded immediately, he held Cheng Yujin's face, and found with distress that Cheng Yujin had lost weight after two months. He sighed and said, "It was me who was wrong. I promised to take care of you, but as a result, you were wronged again."
Cheng Yujin shook his head: "No. As long as His Highness comes back, I will never be wronged."
Li Chengjing saw that Cheng Yujin's belly was round, but his chin was sharper than when he left, and his distress could not be added. He wiped away the tears from the corners of Cheng Yujin's eyes and sighed, "don't cry, I feel more distressed when you are like this."
In fact, Cheng Yujin also wondered what happened to her. She is not a crybaby, nor does she depend on people. Why can't she bear the grievances when she sees Li Chengjing? After Li Chengjing finished speaking, Cheng Yujin was even more embarrassed. She avoided Li Chengjing's hand, wiped her tears, and said, "It's not that I cried, it's that my mood fluctuated greatly during pregnancy, and I couldn't control it myself."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Of course Li Chengjing would not argue with Cheng Yujin. He took Cheng Yujin's hand and carefully supported her, "You are tired from standing, so go to the hall and talk first."
After the two sat in the palace, Cheng Yujin asked, "Your Highness, how is your journey?"
Li Chengjing was noncommittal, and didn't say much: "It's safe and sound, you can rest assured. You're tired this time, go to sleep first, I'll go back to the emperor and the cabinet later, and when you wake up, I'll be back."
Cheng Yujin has been a month old recently, and her energy is really low. After all this trouble today, she has long been tired. Li Chengjing personally helped Cheng Yujin go to bed. Before Cheng Yujin closed her eyes, she saw Li Chengjing sitting in front of the bed tent and smiled at her: "Sleep in peace, everything is up to me."
Cheng Yujin was thinking before closing her eyes, everything really seems like a dream. It even made her feel that as soon as she opened her eyes, she would find that the East Palace was still empty, and Li Chengjing did not rush down from the sky, nor did he lose his temper in the Cining Palace because of her. When she wakes up, she finds that everything is a dream.
