   Chapter 529 Return (1)

  The news of Su Guiren's miscarriage soon spread to Shouning Palace.

   Empress Dowager Zhao felt a little regretful.

A few days later, when Emperor Yongjia came to pay his respects, Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't help but mutter a few words: "Aijia knows that you are not happy. However, if you want to vent your anger, there are many ways. Why bother involving the child. The prince in the palace The princesses married one after another and left the palace, leaving only one little princess. The Aijia is still looking forward to another little prince..."

  Emperor Yongjia's face sank.

   Empress Dowager Zhao immediately changed her tone: "Ai's family means that when the emperor has free time, he will go to the harem more. Maybe in a year or two, there will be good news in the palace."

  Emperor Yongjia was reluctant to mention this, and his own mother was no exception. Get off topic quickly.

   Empress Dowager Zhao had to keep silent.

After Emperor Yongjia left, Empress Dowager Zhao sighed in front of Concubine Qin: "Now the emperor's temper is getting worse. When Aijia said a few words, he would slap his face. You said, what was wrong with Aijia? He doesn't want to see Su Guiren, and he should wait for the child to be born before disposing of it. At that time, it can be carried to the Shouning Palace of Aijia's family and raised."

Qin Fei thought of the gloomy face of Emperor Yongjia just now, and her heart lingered, and she hurriedly said in a low voice: "The emperor is not willing to listen to this, and the empress dowager will not mention it again in the future. Su Guiren has already given birth, why should the empress be upset with the emperor for such a trivial matter ."

   Empress Dowager Zhao snorted softly: "It's okay not to mention it. The child is gone, so what's the use of talking about it."

   Empress Dowager Zhao is getting old and has some problems with her mouth. In half a day, I still talked a few times.

   Concubine Qin patiently comforted the Empress Dowager Zhao and sighed inwardly.

  Su Guiren was unlucky and suffered, and while she was watching the fun, she was also a little scared. The sentimental and righteous Li Yuan in the past has completely changed into another person.

   Great Wei emperor, Tian Wei is magnificent.

   In the past few days, even Concubine Meng rarely went out of Yanxi Palace.

  The palace seemed calm, but there seemed to be an invisible undercurrent surging. I don't know when the huge waves will erupt.

  …

   Time flies, and another five days have passed.

   On this day, Crown Prince Li Jing returned to the capital with the officials of the East Palace and a group of guards from the East Palace.

   There were also several prison vans with Li Jing. In the car were five or six prisoners, all corrupt officials from Zheng County. The people in the capital were the most lively, and they came over to watch the fun.

   His Royal Highness, dressed in a bright yellow crown prince uniform, rode a black horse and stepped forward under the admiration of the people.

   "His Royal Highness is really majestic!"

   "It's more than that. His Highness the Crown Prince made great achievements when he conquered Yanchu. In order to relieve the disaster, he stayed in Zheng County for a few months. It can be said that he loves the people like a child. Look, His Highness the Prince's face has turned black and thin."

   "Bah! It's so far away, how can I see the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clearly. What a mess!"

   "What a fool. I don't have to look at it, I can think about it. Anyway, it is a blessing for me and other people to have such a kind and generous His Royal Highness."

   "Exactly. The Great Wei Dynasty has a bright son of tomorrow and a benevolent prince, and the country will be prosperous and peaceful for thousands of years."

  The state-owned prince has peace of mind. This sentence is not true at all.

   For the common people, if they have food to eat and clothes to wear, the emperor is the sky, and the prince is a towering tree. With the prince here, there is no need to worry if the sky falls.

   "People are praising His Highness!" Li Yan, who was riding a red BMW, turned his head and shouted at Prince Li Jing with a smile.

  Li Jing was amused when he heard it: "We are so close, I can hear it even if the voice is quieter. What are you shouting at your throat?"

  Li Yan grinned and said, "I'm afraid that Your Highness won't hear, so I called out."

   Fang Zizhan and Zhou Li followed behind on horses, and laughed when they heard this.

   Both of them were graduated from the imperial examination, and their riding skills were mediocre. However, in the past few months in Zheng County, I have often been rushing around with His Royal Highness the Prince, and his riding skills have improved a lot.

  What the people are saying, they can't really hear it. However, from the enthusiastic cheers of the people, it can also be seen that the people love His Royal Highness the Prince.

   They are all officials of the East Palace, and they are naturally happy to see this scene.

   I don't know which commoner it was, and suddenly shouted: "His Royal Highness, Chitose!"

   sounded, and soon many people followed and shouted.

  His Royal Highness, Chitose!

   Li Jing smiled and waved at the people. Immediately, the cheers on both sides of the street became louder and busier.

  Li Jing turned his head and instructed Li Yan: "Send a few people on the prison cart to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and then go to the palace for a banquet."

  Before Li Jing returned to Beijing, he sent a memorial to Beijing. Emperor Yongjia and all the courtiers knew his itinerary. After entering the palace, there must be a palace banquet.

  Li Yan responded with a smile, and rode his horse to the prison car to arrange not to mention it.

  Li Jing and Fang Zi Zhan Zhouli and others rode their horses all the way into the palace.

  …

   "Report to the Emperor, His Royal Highness has entered the palace gate, and will soon arrive at the Wenhua Palace." Eunuch Liu quickly entered the palace and reported with a happy face.

  Emperor Yongjia didn't see much joy on his face, so he nodded slightly: "I see."

  Old Qiao Ge's eyes flashed, he took a step forward, smiled and cupped his hands: "His Royal Highness is busy in the disaster relief work in Zheng County, relieve the people's worries, and share the worries for the emperor. With such a prince, ministers and others will also feel relieved."

  Luo Shangshu also stepped forward and said with a smile, "What Qiao Ge has said is true. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has worked hard all the way to return to the capital. The ministers want to come out of the palace to greet him, and ask the emperor's permission."

  Yu Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel and Qiao Ge have different views on the old politics, but they respect and love His Royal Highness the same. With a smile, he cupped his hands and said, "I also want to go out to greet His Royal Highness."

   The rest of the ministers agreed.

  Emperor Yongjia's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Alright, Zhu Aiqing goes out to welcome the prince." Then he instructed the eldest prince and the fourth prince: "The two of you also go to welcome the prince."

   The eldest prince and the fourth prince replied with a smile.

   Everyone went out to greet them.

  Emperor Yongjia sat on the dragon chair and looked at the backs of everyone.

   Eunuch Liu's heartbeat suddenly became a little faster, and he quickly lowered his head.

   He served Emperor Yongjia for many years and was extremely familiar with Emperor Yongjia. A slight change in Emperor Yongjia's expression could not be concealed from his eyes.

  Prince has been busy outside for several months, and he has worked hard. But looking at Emperor Yongjia's expression, he was obviously not very happy about the prince's return...

  Think about it too. Once a person has a grudge, everything is wrong. Anything can be picked out.

   Eunuch Liu thought, and the voice of Emperor Yongjia suddenly sounded in his ears: "Eunuch Liu."

   Eunuch Liu came back to his senses and replied respectfully, "The servant is here."

   "Prince is quite popular!" Emperor Yongjia said in a vague way.

   Eunuch Liu's heart skipped a beat and replied respectfully, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, sympathizes with the common people and cares for his ministers. He is also polite to the humble servants. It is reasonable to be loved by everyone."

  Emperor Yongjia smiled.

   After a while, Prince Li Jing entered the Wenhua Hall surrounded by all the officials.
