Chapter 34 The Prince Returns to the Palace

"Can you?" Leng Chang'an bowed again, with a modest and moderate attitude.

Qin Yunuan looked back at Leng Changxi and saw that although there was a trace of indifference in Leng Changxi's eyes, he did not mean to refuse. He nodded and said to Leng Chang'an, "It's okay if you have something to say."

Leng Chang'an apologized and said, "I heard about the matter between Ruyi and his third sister last night. It's wrong. Although Ruyi is a little arrogant, she is not bad-minded. I hope the third sister-in-law don't mind."

What Leng Chang'an said was about Ruan Ruyi and Tang's joint competition with Qin Yunuan for the three shops. In fact, it was just a small matter, but Leng Chang'an took the initiative to apologize humbly, which seemed that Qin Yunuan was unreasonable.

Qin Yunuan only nod and said, "Big brother is too worried. My sister-in-law and I are just a little friction. Brother Lao came to explain in person whether it was Yu Nuan or not."

Leng Chang'an nodded, and then looked at Leng Changxi and said, "Has the third brother heard about it? The seventh prince was attacked in the imperial mausoleum. Leng Chang'an said while looking at Leng Changxi with a deep and leisurely look, as if he wanted to find out something from the slight change between Leng Changxi's lips and eyebrows, but what disappointed him was that Leng Changxi behaved extremely calmly, as if he had heard an irrelevant relationship.

"Oh, I heard." This is Leng Changxi's answer. There was no superfluous words. After saying that, he didn't even look at Leng Chang'an.

Leng Chang'an smiled awkwardly and said, "The third brother is really well-informed."

"I know it's normal for everything you've heard." Leng Changxi didn't raise his eyebrows. After saying coldly, he took Qin Yunuan and left.

Back in the yard, Man'er and Ting Xue helped Qin Yunuan and Qin Baochuan clean up the house, leaving only Qin Yuannuan and Leng Changxi, Qin Yunuan asked while combing Leng Changxi's long dark hair and asking, "Big brother seems to be very concerned about the seventh prince."

Leng Changxi closed his eyes slightly for a while before he replied, "It's not just him. As everyone is worried about this matter today, the opposition is naturally their own ideas to deal with it, and the supporters are busy how to clear the obstacles for the seventh prince."

"I don't quite understand," Qin Yunuan tied the disbanded bun for Leng Changxi. "Although the biological mother of the seventh prince is a famous family, the seventh prince was expelled to the imperial mausoleum at a young age. He can only return to the palace once during the Spring Festival, but why are the people in the court so nervous about this seemingly lost his power? ?"

"Because of a rumor," Leng Changxi turned around and held Qin Yunuan's little hand, kneaded it in his arms, and played repeatedly. "When the seventh prince Sima Qiu was born, a profound Taoist said that he saw the dragon spirit above the palace of the Empress Shu. At that time, he affirmed that the seventh prince must be the dragon among people in the future. At first, the emperor Shang had great expectations for the seventh prince. In addition, the Empress Shu was favored and invited the best teacher to teach the seventh prince to practice calligraphy and ride a horse since she was a child. If it hadn't been for the case of witchcraft later, the seventh prince would have been the most powerful competitor for the position of the prince.

"So this time the seven princes returned to Beijing..." Qin Yunuan thought slowly.

"That's right," Leng Changxi replied determinedly, "this will greatly change the pattern of today's competition for the position of prince in the capital."

"no wonder." Qin Yunuan suddenly thought of what Leng Shuang said, "No wonder Sima Rui has such a big movement, and the eldest prince who has never been out of the palace will also take Princess Sai Chun to the first floor of the capital to find the cake for the birthday banquet for the Empress Dowager. If I guess correctly, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet next month will be the first appearance of the seventh prince. , right?

"Smart." Leng Changxi pinched the tip of Qin Yunuan's nose with a smile, went down again, picked Qin Yunuan's chin, and his eyes fell on Qin Yunuan's still flat abdomen. He said in a low voice, "Nuannuan, when will you give birth to a baby for me?"

In this case, Qin Yunuan has heard Leng Changxi mention it many times, but...

As long as she thought of the musk in the sachet, Qin Yunuan had a lingering heart. When she went to the old lady's place, she had ordered Man Er and Ting Xue to search carefully in the yard. The result of the search surprised her. Not only did she know the sachet, Qin Yunuan's daily incense powder, the pancreas used for washing her hair, or even the close-fitting clothes. He was smoked musk.

I think so. Although Qin Yunuan's body has been tossed in the back room for so many years, it was later well raised by Liao's mother. Even many years of body cold has been married into the Ning Palace and the money has recovered. Leng Changxi is even stronger and often loves each other. There is no reason that the two have been married for several months, but there is no news. The very simple answer is that Qin Yunuan was tricked. No matter how careful she was, she was still tricked.

Leng Changxi saw Qin Yunuan's worries, and also knew the results of Man'er and Ting Xue's thorough investigation in the yard in the afternoon. He got up and hugged Qin Yunuan tightly and buried Qin Yunuan's little face in his arms: "It's my negligence. I also know how much you are eager to have a child of us. Now the matter of Baochuan has The dust has settled, and I will never let such a thing happen again. Trust me.

"Hmm." Qin Yunuan also hugged Leng Changxi tightly.

That night, Qin Yunuan was very tired and went to bed early, but when she woke up the next morning, Man'er suddenly whispered and told Qin Yunuan that some people said that Leng Changxi and Princess Ning had a big fight last night for no reason. The people in the house dared to mention this matter, because the third young master and Princess Ning have always been mother and filial. There will be no conflict, and I don't know what happened this time, so Qin Yunuan doesn't have to go to Princess Ning's place today.

Soon came to the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Early in the morning, the nobles in Beijing carefully prepared birthday gifts. The Empress Dowager's phoenix was elegant and noble, and she had never seen anything good, so these dignitaries in Beijing who wanted to make a good impression on the Empress Dowager could only start from novelty and fun. Some people heard that the Empress Dowager liked flowers and birds, so they sent them away. All kinds of flowers and thrush birds came. Some heard that the Empress Dowager believed in Buddhism, so they asked the senior monks to send them from those ancient temples. In short, they were all strange tricks.

When Qin Yunuan arrived at the gate of the palace, she was a little early. She happened to see Qin Yuzhao, who attended the birthday banquet with Sima Han, who had been named the king of Fu. Since Qin Yunuan married to the Ning Palace, the two had never met again. This chance meeting really surprised them.

"Third sister." Qin Yuzhao's current dress is no longer the little girl who can only pick up the remaining shabby clothes. She has exquisite pearl white jade hairpins, gorgeous life clothes, and begonia flowers embroidered on the cuffs. It can be seen that Sima treats Qin Yuzhao very well.

"Yu Zhao." Qin Yunuan showed a happy smile. She saw Qin Yuzhao's wife's imperial uniform at a glance, which means that Qin Yuzhao is also a high-grade woman like her. "Let me see, this is the grade that His Royal Highness Fu asked for you?"

"Well," Qin Yuzhao nodded happily. "He grinded the emperor for a long time and said that after giving me a grade, I don't have to worry about being bullied when I go out alone. I don't know whether the emperor understands him or is really tired of being milled by him. He really gives me a six-grade Anren."

Although Qin Yuzhao did not say half a good word of Sima Han, his eyes have flowed the sweetness and happiness of the newlywed life.

"That's right," Qin Yuzhao suddenly remembered something, "when I came back a while ago, I heard that my father had expelled the third sister from the genealogy, is it true?"

Qin Yunuan smiled. In her heart, she did not feel that it was a disgraceful thing to be kicked out of the genealogy by Qin hostage. She had the bloodline of the Shangguan family. Although she has not yet let everyone know yet, there is such a dignified and elegant mother like Yang and a kind and kind grandfather as Shangguan Yi. Blessed.

"That's right, from now on, I can't enter the ancestral hall of the Qin family, the ancestral temple of the Qin family, and Baochuan can't go to the Qin family," Qin Yunuan said. Looking at Qin Yuzhao bowing her head regretfully, Qin Yunuan smiled. "But as a concubine in the Qin family, I have never been valued by my father, and there are few opportunities to enter the ancestral temple and ancestral halls. It's rare, and Baochuan is ready to enter the national prison. How can the Qin family learn anything? Yuzhao, after getting out of the fire pit of the Qin family, I lived a better life.

"I understand," Qin Yuzhao is not like this. She was disliked in the Qin family, but she was regarded as a treasure in front of Sima Han, the king of Fu. "It's just that my sister still doesn't understand." Qin Yuzhao took a look at Qin Yunuan and then said, "I'm afraid the third sister doesn't know yet. My mother has asked her matchmaker to lead her sister and the second young master who lost his wife three years ago. I guess she will marry my sister on a good day."

The sister in Qin Yuzhao's mouth said that Qin Yuwan. Unexpectedly, the second girl of the Qin family, who was about to die because of Shangguan's concession, was about to get married now. She was still Leng Changxi's second brother, and the sister became a sister-in-law, and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

"I heard about it." Qin Yunuan nodded and did not say much that the banquet was ready. Today's banquet was held in Xianxi Palace, the largest and most luxurious palace in the palace. The golden pillars held up the hall high, majestic and solemn, and there were some nobles. Qin Yunuan followed Princess Ning sitting in the east seat, and Leng Changxi sat Close to the emperor's position and talking to the emperor from time to time, people with eyes can see how much the emperor attaches great importance to the first general of Daqi.

Princess Ning looked a little haggard. Qin Yunuan accompanied her, but she thought of the last time Man'er said that Leng Changxi and Princess Ning quarreled for no reason. It seemed that this matter still had an impact on Princess Ning.

Just waiting for the people to be almost there. When the banquet was about to start, the eunuch guarding the door suddenly sang, "The seventh prince is here."
