My Princess Has Been Reborn

The third prince returned to Beijing only last night.He came back in the middle of the night through the wind and snow, and he also knew that not only was he ugly, but he would inevitably be held accountable by the emperor, so he was very careful when he came back, and did not disturb others.Coupled with the fact that Qi Yang's wedding yesterday distracted a lot of people's minds, the news was kept hidden for a long time, and it was not until this afternoon that the news spread.

It was not too late for Qi Yang and Lu Qipei to receive the news, but the information they got was quite limited.I only know that the third prince fled back after being defeated in the war, and now he has been summoned into the palace by the emperor, but I don't know anything about the rest.

This made Qi Yang a little anxious, and his pretty brows were frowned: "There is no new battle report from Northern Xinjiang, and I don't know what the situation is now." She stood up and said to Lu Qipei: "No, I want to enter A trip to the palace."

Lu Qipei knew that she was worried about the prince's situation, and also understood the current position of the two, so he stood up immediately: "I'm with you."

Qi Yang didn't refuse, the two of them sent Zhi Ting to prepare the car, then went back to the inner room and changed their clothes for going out.Lu Qipei specially added an extra scarf for her to cover her neck, and then said solemnly: "It's windy outside, please block it."

Qi Yang glanced at her quietly, did not refuse, and straightened her clothes with his backhand.

Because of this little action, Lu Qipei's heart felt sweet, and his eyebrows and eyes also frowned.Before going out, she held Qi Yang's hand and comforted her: "It's okay, even if the battle situation in northern Xinjiang changes, but as the crown prince, if something happens, there will be news. Now only the third prince is back, what? There is no news, the prince will be fine."

Qi Yang nodded, the two didn't say much, Zhi Ting ordered the carriage to be prepared and set off for the palace.

When a princess gets married, in some respects, it is no different from ordinary daughters getting married.The first two days are spent at her husband's house, and on the third day she will bring her son-in-law back to the palace to thank her, and the emperor will give some rewards according to the etiquette.

Now that Qi Yang's wedding has just passed, it stands to reason that he will have to wait two days before returning to the palace, but the appearance of her and her son-in-law does not seem to be surprising.In fact, not only Qi Yang, but also the other princes rushed to the palace after hearing the news.

Compared with the crown prince and the third prince, the other princes have no advantage in winning the throne.But both are princes, but everyone has ambitions, so in these days when the two of them are away, these brothers have also emerged one after another.

Suddenly hearing about this change, everyone was astonished, but why didn't they have other plans in their hearts?

The Lu residence and the imperial palace were not too far away, the carriage drove through the snow for half an hour and arrived at the gate of the palace, and then entered the palace alone as before.When he was changing into the sedan chair, Qi Yang took a look, and sure enough, he found that the carriages of several princes were already there.

And when Qi Yang and Lu Qipei rushed to Xuanshi Hall, they saw several princes being blocked outside the hall by Zhang Jian: "Your Highnesses, Your Majesty is busy with something, so I don't have time to meet you right now. It's cold outside, Your Highnesses should go back first." .”

The emperor had a total of six adult sons, the crown prince was the eldest son, the second prince died early, and the third to seventh princes were all concubines.Except for the third prince who was able to compete with the prince in the court because of his mother's powerful family, the other brothers were suppressed by the two, and it was hard to make waves in the court.It was also because the prince and the third prince were absent recently that these princes had some voices in the court.

At this time, the four princes were all blocked outside the Xuanshi Hall.The leader of the fourth prince was the first to speak: "I heard that the third brother came back from northern Xinjiang. My brothers and I don't know how the situation in northern Xinjiang is, so we rushed to the palace and wanted to see the third brother."

The fifth prince next to him immediately said: "That's right, we just want to see the third brother, so please don't stop us from Mr. Zhang. If the father has no time to meet, I won't bother the father, just wait outside the hall that is."

Several people argued with Zhang Jian for a few words, and inquired about the situation in the hall without any trace.Just who is Zhang Jian?How can someone who can be the head of the emperor's servants not have a seven-orifice exquisite heart?Therefore, his smoothness is much better than these princes. No matter what the other party asks, he can talk about his fooling around.

Until Zhang Jian saw the young couple of Qi Yang who came on the snow, he left a few princes and went up to say hello: "Why did your highness enter the palace today? Your majesty was still talking about it yesterday. After your highness left the palace, the palace was deserted." many."

The princes next to him curled their lips secretly when they heard the words, and looked at Qi Yang with displeasure.

Qi Yang ignored them, smiled and said to Zhang Jian: "I heard that Brother Sanhuang is back, and I was a little worried about the situation between Brother Huang and the battle in Beijiang, so I went into the palace to have a look." She said, and walked towards the closed palace door behind Zhang Jian He took a look: "I don't know how the current situation is?"

The smile on Zhang Jian's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "Your Majesty is talking to His Highness the Third Highness, if His Highness wants to wait, you might as well go to the side hall."

After saying this, Zhang Jian turned his head and looked at the other princes as well, as if treating them equally.But God knows that these princes talked around him for a long time before, and the head servant didn't let go, but his attitude softened as soon as Qi Yang came, it was almost suffocating.

Qi Yang didn't bother, after thanking Zhang Jian, he greeted several princes, and then led his son-in-law to the side hall.

The two took a step ahead, and the rest of them followed behind indignantly, Qi Yang said softly to Lu Qipei: "What do you think they came so quickly to guard outside the hall?"

Lu Qipei raised his eyebrows, and also replied softly: "I'm just here to see the joke about the third prince's downfall." He paused, and then added in a lower voice: "Maybe he was also hoping for something to happen in Northern Xinjiang. over there."

Qi Yang nodded, his face was not very good-looking, and he didn't even want to talk to the group of people behind him.

On the contrary, the following princes saw her two whispering, and couldn't help but curl their lips in disdain—Princess Liang is not allowed to participate in politics, and the war in northern Xinjiang has nothing to do with them. But all those who came to the palace were princes.

Just Qi Yang, relying on the favor of the emperor and the crown prince, would get involved in political affairs from time to time. I don't know where his ambition came from? !

The ground dragon was burning in Xuanshi Hall, making the whole side hall warm and harmonious, almost becoming a world of ice and snow outside.Qi Yang and the others didn't wait too long after entering the side hall, probably only a quarter of an hour before Zhang Jian sent someone to summon him.

The crowd then entered the main hall, saw the emperor, and also saw the emaciated third prince - he had only been to northern Xinjiang for a few months, and he left in high spirits, but now he looks a little haggard when they see each other again.Not to mention, there were obvious traces of tea on the black robe, obviously the emperor threw a teacup and scolded him severely before this!

Seeing the third prince's current appearance, several princes gloated in their eyes, even Qi Yang and Lu Qipei couldn't help but look at him twice more.It's just that the third prince was in a state of embarrassment, and he didn't seem to be injured, so he didn't know if the rumors of his escape were true or not?

Everyone was obviously concerned about this question, but it was not easy to ask directly in front of the emperor.

The emperor glanced over the princes with serious eyes, and when he saw Qi Yang and the son-in-law, his expression eased a bit: "Why did the emperor come back to the palace today? But the son-in-law treats you badly, so he came back to the palace to complain to me?"

The latter sentence was obviously a joke, Qi Yang immediately denied it, and took Lu Qipei's hand by the way to show the love between husband and wife.

The father and daughter laughed and said a few words, and the originally tense atmosphere in the palace gradually relaxed.The third prince still lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly for a moment, but the eyes of the other princes were somewhat disappointed - they were indeed looking forward to the prince's accident more than watching the third prince's excitement.However, seeing that the emperor is still in the mood to chat and laugh with his little daughter at this moment, it is known that the prince is in the northern border.

How could the changes in the expressions of these people escape the emperor's eyes? He snorted coldly in his heart, and said a few words to Qi Yang, and then asked them: "You guys, all of you are here today, what's the matter?" ?"

The princes looked at each other, it was hard to say that they were here to watch the excitement, so they just said: "My son heard that the third brother is back, so I came to see it." After thinking about it, he added: "In addition, I also heard that the war in northern Xinjiang has happened. Change, worries in my heart..."

The emperor stared at the few people and couldn't continue talking. They were not taken seriously, and Xiaosi became even more timid when facing the emperor.But who knew that the more they were like this, the more displeased the emperor was, and without even an explanation, he dismissed them all.

The third prince was also kicked out, and by the way he was punished to close the house and think about his mistakes.

This frivolous handling is not even considered a punishment, it only makes people puzzled.And when these princes had left, only the emperor and Qi Yang were left in the Xuanshi Hall. The emperor's original majestic and self-restraining posture relaxed, and two traces of worry were added to his face instantly.

Seeing this, Qi Yang felt bad, and hurriedly asked, "Father, what happened?"

In fact, the story of the third prince's defeat and escape had been widely circulated since his return to Beijing.However, there is no battle report from northern Xinjiang yet, so the rumor is still a rumor, and the situation in northern Xinjiang is unknown.And it is not only these princes and princesses who came to inquire about the news today, but the emperor has not seen anyone else.

Facing Qi Yang, the emperor seemed to be a little less wary, so he asked her: "The emperor entered the palace today because of your third brother?"

Qi Yang nodded, and said honestly: "I heard that Brother San Huang escaped and returned. He was originally a supervisor, and his identity is there, but even he escaped..." Qi Yang said, frowning: "The situation in northern Xinjiang is probably not good, and the situation of the emperor's brother is probably not good."

The emperor listened to Qi Yang's words silently, stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Does the emperor think about the reason why your third brother was defeated?" : "Your brother was originally in Huaicheng. Seven days ago, the Rong army attacked Huaicheng. Huaicheng was destroyed. Your brother disappeared, and the morale of the army was shaken..."

Speaking of later, the emperor's usual majestic and calm voice also changed, with obvious emotions.

Qi Yang never thought that after the third prince's defeat and fled back to Beijing, the prince would be the first to have an accident.She kept tightening Lu Qipei's hand, subconsciously exerting force, which made Lu Qipei's hand hurt.

Lu Qipei frowned slightly, but stroked Qi Yang's back with his other hand to comfort him a little.

After a while, Qi Yang calmed down a little, and then asked: "Father, how is the northern border now? Why hasn't the battle report been sent back?"

The emperor shook his head. He hadn't gotten any news before the third prince told the matter himself.
