Chapter 244 The Third Prince Returns to Beijing(1/2)
The capital is in sight!
The third prince Xiao Chengyi rode his horse, regardless of the cold wind, and was filled with excitement of returning home.
The guards had to catch up with him and guard him tightly.
The eunuch was sitting in a carriage and followed behind.
He shouted loudly, "The weather is very cold, your highness should hurry up and get a hot tea! Be careful of catching a cold and delaying the matter."
Xiao Chengyi laughed, "You are right, I cannot fall ill at this time."
He was as good as a stream of good deeds, abandoned his horse and got on the carriage.
The eunuch quickly presented a cup of hot tea.
Mr. Xue, a counselor, accompanied him, "The situation in the capital is dangerous. Your Highness will not be too hasty when he returns to Beijing this time, and he must not show any intention in front of His Majesty."
While drinking hot tea, Xiao Chengyi asked, "Sir, do you want your Highness to fight and rob? At the beginning of the year, his father said in front of the court officials that I was 'like him'."
Mr. Xue shook his head repeatedly, "One time and another time! When Your Highness left the capital, Your Majesty and the court officials could be called harmonious with the monarch and ministers. Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that he turned against him and became enemies. At this time, all your thoughts are about how to suppress officials of aristocratic families. Anyone who reveals a slight intention of his Majesty will definitely make His Majesty dislike him."
Xiao Chengwen frowned, and finally felt a little unwilling to accept it.
Mr. Xue was afraid that he would miss the matter, so he comforted him, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. You finally returned to the capital and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. When the spring begins next year, look at God's face, and the government will soon become clear."
Xiao Chengyi nodded, "Mr. What the hell is right. The father and the aristocratic family are all due to a severe drought this year. As long as the weather is good next year, the thieves will naturally retreat most of them. At that time, the aristocratic family will not be that easy to make trouble."
Mr. Xue nodded in praise, "That's the reason!"
Xiao Chengyi smiled, his mind was surging, and his mood was a little relaxed.
The eunuch joked: "Your Highness took advantage of this time to rest and try to add another brother."
In one sentence, Zhong Shuyun pulled into his memory.
He had no expression on his face and did not comment.
The eunuch panicked and never mentioned Brother again.
The convoy successfully entered the capital.
The manager of the Third Prince's Mansion was waiting early to pick up people at the city gate.
Finally, I received someone and smiled happily, "Mrs. I was so happy to hear that Your Highness was back. I ordered the kitchen to buy food and drinks early in the morning, all of which were what Your Highness likes to eat. My brother has grown up a lot, and can crawl, laugh, and babble..."
The manager is nagging and talking nonsense.
Xiao Chengyi listened with a smile.
He still cares about his first child very much, and he is also a legitimate son.
This time, the disaster relief was completed successfully thanks to the mother-in-law Princess Chengyang's strong help.
It was dangerous. If it were not for Princess Chengyang's support, he would have already admitted his defeat and returned to the capital in shame.
It was also because of this experience that he deeply realized the ferocity and danger of the aristocratic family.
Many times, life hangs on the line.
Thanks to the loyalty of the guards around him, who were not bribed and vowed to protect him to the death, he was able to escape from danger again and again and save his life.
After more than half a year of training, he is no longer the noble of the third prince who was a little naive and ideal when he left Beijing.
He has already recognized the reality and the hearts of the people in the world.
Go back to the prince's mansion first.
Zhong Shuyun led the women in the backyard to greet them at the second door.
She had a smiling face, looking bright and passionate.
For some reason, Xiao Chengyi was originally a stern heart, but at that moment, she was touched by her smile and became a little soft.
"Your Highness is back!"
Her smile was very infectious. She was sincerely happy and sincerely welcomed him home.
Xiao Chengyi suddenly smiled, walked forward, and pulled Zhong Shuyun's hand, "It's such a cold day, why don't you rest in the house? What are you doing to greet me? Be careful of catching a cold."
Zhong Shuyun was happy, raised her face, her eyes full of admiration, "Your Highness has been away from the capital for half a year and finally returned to the capital smoothly. How can I wait in the house? I wish I could go to the city gate to greet Your Highness in person."
The other concubines also spoke, "Yes, yes, I wish I could go to the city gate to welcome Your Highness."
Xiao Chengyi laughed and said, "Get into the house! You can't freeze you. The winter in the capital this year is obviously colder than in previous years."
"Your Highness is right. Although it only snowed one time this winter, it is particularly cold. Every day it is gloomy and the wind is biting. Your Highness comes back from the south and takes care of you. When you get home, you want to drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."
Zhong Shuyun thought about it very thoughtfully and appropriately.
Xiao Chengyi was so kind that he did not refuse her kindness. He drank a bowl of ginger soup and soon his body became hot.
Wash, change clothes...
Then the family gathered together for a drink.
The child was taken by the nanny, and he looked white and fat, with a lively look, and he looked very smart at first glance.
He finally said to Zhong Shuyun, "Thank you for your hard work in these days when Your Highness is not at home."
Zhong Shuyun was instantly moved, her eyes were red, "It is my duty to share your worries for Your Highness. My brother likes Your Highness and doesn't recognize her child at all. Thinking about the time when Your Highness left the capital, my child and I had not yet passed the confinement period. In a blink of an eye, the child could crawl on the ground."
Xiao Chengyi tried to pick up the child, oh, it was quite heavy.
Little guy, so powerful.
The child really refused to admit his child's birth, and he laughed happily at him, smiling without teeth, and laughed very happily.
Xiao Chengyi was excited and laughed.
That night, he naturally rested in Zhong Shuyun's room.
Zhong Shuyun pulled him and said a lot.
When Yan Yunqi gave birth to a daughter, the second prince not only did not dislike her, but also was very happy.
"It's not a pretended happiness, but a sincere happiness. Once I visited the Second Prince's Mansion twice, I saw the Second Prince holding his daughter with my own eyes and smiling like a fool. It's really surprising that the Second Prince actually likes his daughter."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "My second brother is in poor health. It doesn't matter whether the first child is a daughter or a brother."
"Why doesn't it matter? It's because the Second Prince is in poor health, the first child is more important. If he can't give birth to a child in the future, wouldn't he have only one daughter?"
"Don't talk nonsense! My second brother is young, how could he not give birth to it?"
"The couple got married for many years before there was any movement. The older they were, the harder they were to get pregnant."
Zhong Shuyun is very confident and seems to be able to confirm that Yan Yunqi will find it difficult to conceive a second child.
Xiao Chengyi frowned. He didn't like to hear her say that, he was like a gossipy woman.
He reminded her, "Just just nag in front of me for a few words, don't talk nonsense outside. Be careful to reach my second brother's ears."
Zhong Shuyun pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, cousin, I have a sense of responsibility. I will only say my heart in front of you. In front of others, I will give you enough face and guarantee that I will not embarrass you."
Xiao Chengyi smiled, "It's so good!"
Zhong Shuyun began to nag about the eldest prince's mansion again.
"Li Bingting doesn't go out easily, and she always comes and goes in a hurry every time she goes out. His Highness follows the steps and goes to the yamen to handle the work every day, and it seems that she has no idea."
Xiao Chengyi sneered, "Brother cannot have no idea. He has learned intelligence and knows disguise. If he enters the palace tomorrow, if he can meet him, I will chat with him."
...
The next morning, Xiao Chengyi packed up and went to the palace to report his orders to pay his respects.
Go to Xingqing Palace first.
When Xiao Chengyi saw his father, he obviously had some capital.
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, my father has grown much older. It is obvious that he is overly worried and the struggle with officials of the aristocratic family has consumed too much energy.
His eyes turned red and tears rolled down, "Father, please take care of your health. My son, my son, I feel sad, I just wish I could not share my worries for my father."
Emperor Yongtai felt much better when he saw his attitude, "Get up! The ground is cold, how can you keep kneeling? This time I went out to provide disaster relief, although you have written a specific process in the memorial, I still want to hear you say it in person."
"My son obeys the order!"
Xiao Chengyi sat on a small bench and began to tell the story of what he saw and heard during the disaster relief period, and how he was in danger several times, but he could get rid of danger.
Bang!
Emperor Yongtai punched the table, "It's really too much."
When he heard that Sanlang was in danger, although he didn't say it clearly, Emperor Yongtai guessed that it was the aristocratic family who was making trouble.
Apart from the local aristocratic families, others do not have the courage or strength.
Do you actually dare to commit a crime against the prince? Are you trying to rebel?
"Don't calm down! My son is worried and returns to Beijing safely. He doesn't even have a scar on his body. This trip is extremely smooth."
"I almost lost my life, how can I get better?"
Emperor Yongtai was extremely angry and had a ferocious expression.
