Yuan Qingyu didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, the carriage started moving and he slowly opened his mouth and told everything.
Yuan Qingyao really didn't expect that he would be missing a sister after only three days in the examination room. No, he would not see his other sister either. It was really that he actually did such a stupid thing. No wonder Fang Shaohua wanted to break up with him.
It seems that this incident has already happened, and there is no easing of the situation. It's a pity, he really thinks highly of Fang Shaohua.
At this time, Fang Shaohua also followed the servant to the side of the earth boy Ruyan: "Ruyan, I'm out."
Tong Ruyan burst out laughing: "What are you talking about? I'm glad we found you. When I saw so many people being carried out, I thought you would be carried out too. Fortunately, you are okay."
Fang Shaohua looked at Tong Ruyan with a smile on his face: "Your husband is in very good health. Let alone taking the exam for three days, even if we take it for a few more days, there will be no problem."
Cao Suixin was reluctant to disturb the two, but unfortunately time was running out: "Okay, brother and sister-in-law, let's go back and reminisce about the past."
Fang Shaohua nodded, and the group got on the carriage and headed back to the palace. Tong Ruyan was still curious: "Is there anything going on in the palace today? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
She also wanted to take her husband out for a nice meal! Cao Suixin explained with a smile: "My senior sister is coming back today, and my brother has been in the examination room for three days. Go back and take a shower and have a good rest."
When Tong Ruyan heard that the princess was coming back, excitement flashed in her eyes. She hadn't seen the princess for such a long time, and she still missed her very much.
"Then let's go back quickly. When will the princess be able to get home?"
Cao Suixin shook his head: "I'm not sure, anyway, he said he would be back today, but he will go to the palace first after he comes back. We just need to wait for him at home."
Tong Ruyan thought about it and it was true. After all, the princess was still with the two princes! After not seeing each other for such a long time, the emperor and empress must have missed the two little princes and wanted to send them back to the palace first.
At this time, Beibei's group of carriages also came in from the city gate, and then went directly to the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, a young eunuch immediately ran to report to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Ankang is back."
The emperor was having lunch with the queen. When he heard the eunuch's news, he was stunned. Then he smiled and said, "This guy, he came back at the right time. Go and invite everyone over."
The Queen was also amused and a little excited: "Are Ren'er and Qi'er back too?"
The emperor nodded and said, "Beibei is back, Xiaoer and Xiaosan must be back too. Just wait, I'll have someone bring them over for you to see."
Sure enough, not long after, Beibei came with Xiaoer and Xiaosan. Jiang Hu also came with them, and he came to report the task assigned by the emperor.
"My son has met his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen."
"My son has met his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen."
Beibei also bowed: "Greetings to the Emperor's uncle, and greetings to the Emperor's aunt."
Jiang Hu also spoke at the same time: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get up. It's been a long time since we last met. I feel like Xiaoer and Xiaosan have grown a lot taller. They must have eaten well on the island."
When the Second Prince heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Father, Mingyue Island is great. It's very free, and there are a lot of seafood and mountain delicacies. By the way, Father, my sons brought back a lot of seafood, all fresh, for you and mother to try."
The third prince had already rushed to the queen and said, "Mother, I miss you so much."
Faced with her son's coquettish behavior, the queen softened her heart and said, "Mother misses you too. Fortunately, you are all back. We can meet anytime in the future."
The third prince looked at his mother's big belly and said, "Mother, will my little brother be born soon?"
The belly is so big! The third prince couldn't help but touch the queen's belly and laughed. The queen couldn't help laughing when she saw her son's cute appearance.
"Well, the baby is about to be born. He will be a big brother in the future, so you have to learn to take care of your younger siblings, okay? You must be tired after such a long journey. Have lunch quickly and have a rest after that. Jiang Hu, come with you."
At this time, Jiang Hu was lucky enough to be able to stay and have dinner with the emperor and empress.
After lunch, the second and third princes were taken back to rest. Beibei stayed to chat with the queen for a while, and then followed the emperor and Jiang Hu to the hall where the emperor worked.
"Tell me, what did you get this time? Where are the others? Why didn't you bring them back?"
Not to mention that Wang Yanran was not brought back, even Lu Yang did not seem to come back with her. Beibei did not hide anything and said directly: "Wang Yanran's ability is gone, and she has been imprisoned in Mingyue Island."
The emperor nodded: "So that's the case, then there doesn't seem to be any problem. In that case, do you have anything else to report?"
Jiang Hu and Bei Bei looked at each other, and Bei Bei slowly took out something, which happened to be the parchment scroll: "This is what Wang Yanran handed over when she was forced in. It should be a treasure map. It is said that it contains many years of income of Tianzhu Palace. As for Tianzhu Palace..."
He slowly explained the origin of Tianzhu Palace, as well as some of the methods that Tianzhu Palace often used to separate the various Chaoyangs.
This would take a long time to explain, so the emperor asked the eunuch to bring in some tea and gave the two of them some water to drink while he continued talking.
Bei Bei sighed after he finished speaking: "Anyway, they are from Tianzhu Palace. They have many tricks that are hard to guard against. And we still don't know who the representative of Tianzhu Palace is this time. We thought it was Wang Yanran, but now it's obviously not her."
Wang Yanran is just a pawn. If possible, she would alienate the relationship between the Queen and the Emperor, and finally control the Emperor so that he and the Prince break up. In this way, the Great Zhou could at least be divided into two.
Unfortunately, Wang Yanran failed, so Wei Yuanyi came to the emperor's side. Fortunately, the emperor and the queen had a strong relationship and managed to get through it.
But I think that the people from Tianzhu Palace will continue to input talents into the imperial palace. I just don't know if the emperor can notice everyone. Beibei feels overwhelmed when he thinks about it.
The emperor looked at Beibei and said, "You should be careful too. It may not be the emperor. There must be someone in the palace. Maybe someone from Tianzhu Palace has already appeared next to you, but you just don't know it."
Beibei and Jiang Hu looked at each other and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. We will conduct strict checks on anyone who appears around us in the future. So what should we do with this parchment scroll now?"
If I leave this to someone else, I won't be able to rest assured. Besides, I don't know how many people in the court are trustworthy.
Fortunately, there were people from Mingyue Island to help, otherwise the emperor would definitely think that he was so young, but the white hair on his head would be growing out uncontrollably.
"Jiang Hu, you go and do this. If you can find it, that's fine. If you can't, that's fine too. I won't force you."
Jiang Hu glanced at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to take a leave. I want to go back to my hometown to have a look. I haven't been to my hometown since I came back with my master."
It's normal to miss your family. The emperor looked at Jiang Hu with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll grant you the leave. Go home if you want. By the way, Beibei, when you come back, don't run around outside anymore."
Beibei was a little unhappy: "But I still want to go to Brother Jiang Hu's hometown to play. Here, every day I'm either attending this party or that party, it's very annoying. How about I stay for a while and wait for the top scholar to come out before leaving?"
The emperor frowned and said, "Jiang Hu is going back to his hometown. Why are you following him?"
Beibei blushed a little: "Just go with me and play for a while. Besides, his hometown is close to where we are going. The place on the parchment is nearby. Let me go with you, otherwise, I will go secretly."
The place on the parchment scroll is very important, and the emperor also feels that he still needs one of his own. Beibei is definitely one of his own, the kind that can be trusted: "Okay, then you can go with Jiang Hu."
Anyway, in the eyes of the emperor, Beibei must like Jiang Hu, and they will be a couple in the future. There is no need to worry that Beibei will not be used to marrying a wealthy family in the capital. In this way, he actually let Beibei grow up happily.
Beibei immediately jumped up happily: "Thank you, Uncle Huang."
The emperor looked at Beibei unhappily and said, "Well, don't be too happy too soon. Once you leave this time, I'm afraid you won't be in Kyoto for the New Year. Wait until the top scholar is announced before leaving. Spend half a month with your grandmother. Your grandmother misses you very much."
Beibei agreed with a smile: "Okay. Then I will go to see the Imperial Grandmother now. Brother Ahu, you go back first."
He said and ran away with a smile. The emperor shook his head and smiled dotingly: "Jiang Hu, Beibei is a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She has been favored since she was born. You have to watch her more and don't let her suffer any injustice, understand?"
Jiang Hu nodded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will never let Beibei suffer any injustice. If anyone dares to let Beibei suffer any injustice, I will kill that person."
This was really cruel. The emperor twitched his lips and said, "I hope you can keep your promise. By the way, leave this parchment scroll with me. I will make a few copies. When you leave, come and get the original. There is nothing else to do now. Go back and have a rest."
What else can Jiang Hu say? The parchment scroll is in your hands, so he can only bow and say, "I will take my leave."
Beibei didn't walk far at all, looking at Jiang Hu who came out: "Brother Hu, I'll make you wait another half a month, is that okay?"
