Chapter 16 Change the Sky (Turn)

Xue Zhen did not delay for too long. He chose an auspicious day to gather several uncles and brothers and noble courtiers in the court to pay tribute to the secret decree left by the previous emperors. His inheritance of Dabao is actually a certainty. Although the Eighth Prince tried his best to obstruct it, who would pay attention to his short-sighted and powerless prince now that he has seen the blood book of the former emperor? When the Eighth Prince was in power before, he was also a person who blindly spoiled the horse. Most of the really hard-do ministers were not reused because they were not good at flattery. Now that the wind has turned, those who used to serve him carefully are naturally more busy expressing loyalty to Xue Zhen than anyone else. His miserable situation now is really obvious.

After the accession to the throne in January, Xue Zhen was already the quasi-emperor. Although the original royal palace was good, it was no longer suitable to live in it. The palace man responsible for settling him and Shen Xuanji sweated and didn't know where to place their family. Xue Zhen himself asked to live in the "Yunyang Hall" where he lived before leaving the palace. Now even if it is his former residence at the time of Long Qian, no one will say anything.

He let the palace people who had been following him retreat and came to the Empress Dowager's "Shou'an Hall" one by himself.

The furnishings in the "Shou'an Hall" are exactly the same as those of the Empress Dowager. It can be seen that after a ridiculous game, the former emperor still had three feelings for his biological mother and did not let the Noble Concubine Li deal with the furnishings in the hall without authorization. Xue Zhen was not around when the Empress Dowager died, which became a great regret in his life.

There is no one else in the hall except a few people guarding the palace. Xue Zhen sat gently on the edge of the Empress Dowager's couch, just like when the Empress Dowager was alive. He gently closed his eyes and put his face on the Yunxiang soft pillow commonly used by the Empress Dowager. The soft touch of silk reminded him of the Empress Dowager's soft and warm hands, which seemed to gently smooth his hair.

Xue Zhen's tears fell on the pillow along his ear, stained with silk and mottled.

"Grandma, my grandson is back." He whispered.

He seemed to see the familiar figure of the empress dowager, still wearing a dignified and precious brown woven golden nine phoenix robe, wearing a gold-embedded jade crown representing the dignity of the empress dowager, and looked at him with a smile. Without the usual majesty, only an ordinary grandmother loved her beloved grandson.

At the same time, Shen Xuanji also returned to the long-lost Anguo Mansion accompanied by Lan Qing and others. From Mrs. Ye and Wei Han to the servants who went down to the house, they all knelt neatly at the door to greet each other. Although there were many people, they did not hear a sound.

Shen Xuanji now has a different identity. He is sitting in an eight-treasure Zhuying carriage, and the eight horses pulling the carriage are all snow-white, incomparable.

As soon as she lifted the curtain and saw her grandmother and uncle kneeling on the ground to greet her, tears suddenly came to her eyes. An arrow stepped down the car and picked up the two and said, "Are grandma and uncle going to break me like this?"

Mrs. Ye has been much older over the years, her hair is as white as snow, and her face is yellow, which is very different from Shen Xuanji's appearance when she left Beijing. When she saw her granddaughter, whom she had not seen for several years, she was not excited and cried so much that she couldn't speak. Wei Han was still patient and said to Shen Xuanji, "The ceremony cannot be abolished. The princess is now valuable, and the courtesy of the minister deserves it."

Wei Jue and Wei Wei seemed to be crying when they saw that they were going to cry. They were afraid that Mrs. Ye would cry, so they quickly came up and welcomed them into the room. Although this family reunion is soaked in tears, happiness is more than sadness.

Shen Xuanji returned home and did not forget to go to Wei Yeling to pay a memorial service first, and then came to Mrs. Ye's Xuanxi Hall.

Mrs. Ye gradually got better when she entered the room. Shen Xuanji served tea in person and gently stroked her vest for her. Only then did she calm down and told Shen Xuanji about Coral's becoming a monk. Shen Xuanji was stunned for a moment, and his heart was mixed. After digesting it for a long time, he still smiled and said, "That's also a personal fate. It's good to serve in front of the Buddha. The old lady doesn't have to worry about this matter. I will naturally see her when I go back." Mrs. Ye felt calm when she saw that she had no intention of blaming her family.

Shen Xuanji only felt a little sad in his throat. When he turned his face and saw Wei Zhenjing, he quickly changed the topic, "The third cousin was wronged. Fortunately, your auspicious Tianxiang, and the third cousin's sister-in-law did not abandon you. Now he is full of hardship."

Wei and his wife looked at each other, and their smiles were infinitely sweet.

Lan Qing and Qingying had already gone to talk to their old sisters, but Shen Xuanji was served by Yu Tao and Biluo. Since the two of them, they have also had some true feelings for Shen Xuanji and stayed. Naturally, Shen Xuanji did not treat them badly.

She looked around and didn't see Yao and Wei Ji's mother and son, so she kept silent. Wei Wei was upright. If it hadn't been for his bad intentions, how could Yingluo have separated from his sister and not seen him now? Shen Xuanji had the nature of revenge, all because he knew that Wei Wei had evil retribution and was now in prison, and Yao did not beat the drowning dog. However, it is impossible to expect her to ask again out of kindness.

On the contrary, Aunt Chun's life became more and more comfortable after marrying her daughter-in-law. She is loyal to Wei Han and does not change due to his reputation. She and Wei Han are really a real and difficult couple. Nowadays, no one in the house dares to underestimate her. Shen Xuanji looked at her and smiled, "When I was in Qiyi, because I was not far away, I often wrote letters with my sister Xi. The prince was particularly eye on her. Her life was very good, which reassured the old lady, the master and aunt."

A few years later, Wei Jue's body had already recovered. Ye Dongyu took care of her husband and son and became more and more stable. Today, he saw Shen Xuanji, but remembered the time together. At that time, they were still young women and girls who had not been wronged. Now although her beauty is not old, her heart has long settled down.

Her eyes turned red and was already seen by Shen Xuanji's eyes. She was talking with Qi in her arms. Seeing that Ye Dongyu was sad, she smiled and said, "What's wrong with sister-in-law? But are you angry that I didn't bring Yiran to you to play?

Ye Dongyu wiped his eyes shyly, "The princess is still young. Don't hold her around. It's not good if it's windy."

Shen Xuanji smiled again, "It doesn't matter. I'll come back and show you. If you like it, I will recognize Brother Qi as my son-in-law."

Ye Dongyu knew that she was joking. Yiran is now the princess, and soon after, she will be the princess. His son is good, but she doesn't dare to think about Shang.

The family was talking affectionately, but Shen Xuanji saw Wei Han's face was heavy. She knew something, so she smiled and said, "What's wrong with uncle? But you don't like me to come?"

Wei Han looked around for a week and saw that although they were all family members, it was a big deal in the end, so he arched his hand to Shen Xuanji and said bluntly, "I really have one thing to tell the princess, and I also asked the princess to go to the study."

Naturally, Shen Xuanji would not refuse, nor did he bring Yu Tao and Biluo. He came to his study alone with Wei Han.

Before he sat down, he listened to Wei Han say, "Does the ninth prince still want to keep the eighth prince?"

Shen Xuanji was stunned and looked at Wei Han's serious face and couldn't speak.

"The Eight Princes can't stay!" Wei Han was a little anxious. Shen Xuanji nodded, picked up the blue and white pot on the table and made a cup of tea for him. "Don't worry, uncle, the prince knows it."

Although she said this, she was actually not sure at all. Now the Eighth Prince is at the end of the road. According to Xue Zhen's nature, he may not be killed. Xue Zhen is not a person to be bullied, but he is not a person who must be reported. Although the Eighth Prince has repeatedly instructed people to kill Xue Zhen, he is now very miserable. Xue Zhen has never liked to force people to be desperate. In the face of people who have no threat to himself, he will let them live, not only because he is kind, but also because he is proud.

But Shen Xuanji is different. The Eighth Prince is a huge threat to her, her husband and daughter. Even if this threat is potential, she believes that with the Wolf ambition of the Eighth Prince, she will never be a prince who is not in power.

Treating him well and letting him go is equivalent to feeding the tiger with his body. Shen Xuanji is not going to take this risk.

She looked into Wei Han's eyes and nodded seriously, "Thank you for your suggestion. My nephew knows what to do!"
