The next morning, when Emperor Hongjia came to court, he saw a dancing figure standing not far from the main hall. He frowned and looked at Eunuch Pei beside him, and said coldly, "Who is that woman? How can she dance there?" , why don’t you hurry up and ask her to get out of here.”

When Xuanyuan Yuzhen saw this scene, he walked up to Emperor Hongjia and said respectfully, "Father, that person is the granddaughter of Marquis Jingguo."

When he heard Xuanyuan Yuzhen mention his name, Marquis Jingguo's whole body tensed up. He seemed to be waiting for what Xuanyuan Yuzhen would say next.

Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at the expression on Marquis Jingguo's face and raised the corners of his lips, "I heard that Marquis Jingguo's granddaughter offended her mother-in-law and was sent to dance there. If she doesn't get the approval of her father, she will Just keep jumping there.”

Listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words, Marquis Jingguo frowned. Ning Yuelan was sent to Ning Sicai's palace. How could she appear in Qilian Yuran's palace now and offend Qilian Yuran.

Emperor Hongjia took all the expressions of Marquis Jingguo into his eyes. Looking at the expression on his face, Emperor Hongjia snorted in his heart. Looking at the dancing woman, he felt even more indifferent in his heart, "In this case, let her Just keep jumping there.”

After he glanced at Marquis Jingguo, he turned and left.

Marquis Jingguo looked at Emperor Hongjia who turned away and dared to follow him to plead for his niece. Looking at the woman dancing gracefully in the distance, Marquis Jingguo already had concerns in his heart.

"Master Hou, please don't worry. Maybe you just offended your Majesty. If you really made your Majesty unhappy, this is probably not what happened." Murong Jingxuan walked up to him and said coldly, "I think the Marquis must want it very much." It's better to plead for my granddaughter, but now is not a good time."

Marquis Jingguo shuddered when he heard Murong Jingxuan's words. What happened in the court this morning could be regarded as completely offending Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan, but all this is not important. The important thing is that as long as Xuanyuan Yu If you can successfully ascend to the status, then everything will not be a problem.

"Whatever the prince said, I am just telling the truth." Marquis Jingguo looked at Murong Jingxuan and said calmly, "I think the character of the fourth prince is naturally to breastfeed the second prince, otherwise there would be no need to behave like this. "

Ah. Murong Jingxuan sneered in his heart, but he did not listen to Marquis Jingguo's words.

After all, what they want now is to let Marquis Jingguo attack them first. In this way, not only Xuanyuan Yufan's winter will be obvious, but even Marquis Jingguo's motives will be very obvious.

Marquis Jingguo looked at Murong Jingxuan's retreating figure, his eyes narrowed, and a plan was brewing in his heart.

When Emperor Hongjia arrived at Qilian Yuran Palace, Qilian Yuran was pruning flowers and plants in the garden. When she saw Emperor Hongjia, she put down the shuttlecock in her hand and said with a smile, "I have met your Majesty."

"Ran Ran, why did that Ning Yuelan provoke you? Why did you let her go dancing?" Emperor Hongjia walked to Qilian Yuran and helped her up.

Listening to Emperor Hongjia's words, Qilian Yuran covered his lips and smiled, "What's wrong with you? I'm just looking for an excuse to let Marquis Jingguo take action. Yan'er and the fourth child said that the best way now is to let Marquis Jingguo take the initiative. Take action, so that even the second child will take action."

Listening to Qilian Yuran's words, Emperor Hongjia thought of what Marquis Jingguo said in the court hall this morning. Su Yun and Luo Guancheng are naturally ashamed of the prince, but there are also many people who support Xuanyuan Yufan, but the only one who helps Xuanyuan Yuzhen is There were not many of them, but Emperor Hongjia naturally understood the expression on his face.

After all, it's not the time to stand out yet. The last resort now is to lie dormant. When everything is ready, you can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Looking at the expression on Emperor Hongjia's face, Qilian Yuran said with a smile, "I told you not to bring matters from the previous dynasty to my palace."

Emperor Hongjia listened to Qilian Yuran's words and held her hand, "Marquis Jingguo said some things this morning, and they were all aimed at the fourth child. It seems that they don't know that the fourth child has begun to prepare for the inheritance."

"Oh!" Qilian Yuran said with great interest, "In that case, doesn't the Fourth Brother just happen to be in hibernation, so that when the throne falls into the hands of the Fourth Brother, they will have nothing to say."

Emperor Hongjia agreed very much with what Qilian Yuran said, "Ran Ran, the fourth child was still helping the prince to say good things in the court this morning, but the prince didn't seem to take it seriously. I think the prince should have better means by now. "

Thinking of what the queen had said before, Qilian Yuran raised the corners of his lips, "The queen is from a famous family, so naturally there will be many people willing to help the prince. In addition, General Luo and General Su are now on the side of the prince, so naturally he is Feel confident."

"Of course, the military power in the hands of Su Aiqing and Luo Aiqing cannot fall into the hands of the prince." Emperor Hongjia felt extremely sick when he thought of the triumphant expression on the prince's face.

"Your Majesty, since you are here, why don't you accompany me to trim the flowers and plants here." Qilian Yuran said and put the scissors into Emperor Hongjia's hands, "Did you know that the flowers and plants in this yard have been carefully decorated by me in the past five years? Nursing.”

Emperor Hongjia looked at the scissors in his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, then I will also experience the happiness of ordinary people."

When Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan arrived in the garden, they saw Emperor Hongjia bowing down and accompanying Qilian Yuran to prune flowers and plants in the garden. The scene looked very harmonious, as if they were just ordinary people's blessings, not the emperor. and concubines.

"Mother, concubine, father, when we arrived here, Marquis Jingguo had already gone to Concubine Xian's palace, presumably to question why Ning Yuelan appeared in your palace." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at them. The figure from behind spoke slowly.

"However, Concubine Xian has already given instructions, so we don't have to worry." Murong Jingxuan continued what Xuanyuan Yuzhen said, "But according to Marquis Jingguo's character, Concubine Xian is expected to be injured."

"No." Qilian Yuran looked at them and said calmly, "If Ning Sicai would have been injured before, then she will definitely not be injured now, and the injured one will definitely be Marquis Jingguo."

Thinking of the people around Ning Sicai, Murong Jingxuan's lips curled up, "What the mother-in-law said is true, but Jingxuan was negligent. After all, Xu Yao is now the person next to Xian Concubine and he only listens to Xian Concubine's words. If Xian Concubine If he is injured, Xu Yao will definitely not let Marquis Jingguo go."

"Xu Yao stayed with Concubine Xian just to protect her, but Concubine Xian is also an honest person." Qilian Yuran couldn't help but praise when he thought of Ning Sicai's character.
