After the court was dispersed, Emperor Xuanhe immediately set up a return to Baohe Hall. He had to rest for at least two hours before he could summon important officials to Baohe Hall to discuss matters.

Xuanhe Dilong was weak and the ministers knew more or less. No one dared to discuss this matter privately.

As soon as the court scattered today, the ministers gathered together and talked about this memorial from the Marquis of Pingxi.

Yong'an Hou was in a little heavy mood.

Yuan Silan is the fiancé of Princess Shouning. She was originally a great help from the second prince. Now, Princess Shouning is still "restoring" in the princess's mansion. If Yuan Silan goes to the border again to "persuade" the Tatar cavalry...

It is definitely not good news for the second prince.

However, there was a lot of support in the court, Emperor Xuanhe obviously became interested. Even when he was in the court, he could only express his support.

How to recover from disadvantages?

After thinking about it, the Marquis of Yong'an finally got an idea. At noon that day, he went to the Second Prince's Mansion.

The second prince had a very well-informed news. As soon as he saw the Marquis of Yong'an, he asked anxiously: "Uncle, in your opinion, will the father issue an order to order Yuan Silan to go to the border?"

Yong'an Hou's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "In less than three days, the emperor will definitely issue an order!"

Second Prince: "…"

The second prince's face suddenly became not very beautiful. The second prince paced back and forth in annoyance, walked around the study twice before stopping: "Uncle, what should I do now?"

The Marquis of Yong'an whispered: "It's over, your highness can only make up his heart and the hero has cut off his arm."

"Before the emperor has not issued an order, your highness will first go to the palace to meet the saint, and then explain the pros and cons of this matter to Yuan Silan. It is best to persuade Yuan Silan to volunteer to go to the border. If this spreads, it will be better for the emperor to have the face."

"As a Son of Man, Your Highness should share his worries for his father."

The second prince's eyes were bright and dark, and there was still a hint of hesitation: "I went to Baohe Palace in person that day, asked my father to give him a marriage and ordered Shouning to marry him. Now, if I do this again, it is no different from Guan Yuan Silan taking the initiative to die..."

Not to mention what Yuan Silan would react, Mr. Shouning mainly knew about this, and he would be afraid that he would completely hate his brother and sister. There is no possibility of recovery from his brother-sister relationship.

The Marquis of Yong'an seemed to see the second prince's thoughts and said coldly: "Who is more important, Your Highness might as well think about it carefully."

Did he be dragged down by Yuan Silan and continued to be neglected by Emperor Xuanhe?

Or take advantage of this matter to make a comeback?

The second prince's expression changed again and again, and he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay! I'll enter the palace later!"

The face of the Yong'an Hou calmed down slightly: "A quick decision and take advantage of the situation. Just let Your Highness understand. There is no need to rush to enter the palace immediately. The emperor should rest for two hours at noon as usual and call the important ministers to discuss politics in the afternoon. After Your Highness enters the palace, you might as well go to the Jiaofang Hall first and invite the Queen to the peace."

Speaking of Empress Pei, the second prince subconsciously snorted: "It's enough for mother to have a little six, so how can I see me?"

A strong sense of jealousy and unconcealed sourness appeared in his tone.

A trace of chill flashed in the eyes of Yong'an Hou, and he comforted in a low voice: "It's not surprising that my mother loves my youngest son anywhere. The one whom the Empress values ​​most is His Highness."

The second prince snorted again: "I don't need to say these nice things to coax me. Since I was young, my mother has been lukewarm to me and has never been as intimate as ordinary mothers and sons. In the past, my mother was cold to Xiaoliu, but I was afraid she pretended to be cold. Now that Xiaoliu is growing up, she has gained favor from her father, so my mother doesn't have to worry about anything anymore."

"Now, the mother is openly favoring Xiao Liu. What if I am a son, what if I am not satisfied?"

As a son, he only has the word filial piety to his own father and mother.

In the Tian family, before this "filial piety", there is also another "loyalty".

During this period, the second prince was frustrated, but he had no choice but to do anything. After entering the palace, he had to pretend to be nothing, be particularly intimate with the sixth prince, and was particularly filial and close to Empress Pei.

No matter what is inside, at least, in the eyes of everyone, Empress Pei is firmly in the position of the Empress of the Central Palace and the sixth prince is in a strong position, which means that he, the second prince, has not completely lost favor.

The Marquis of Yong'an looked at the second prince deeply: "Don't worry, your highness, it's not the time. One day, I will share your worries for you."

It is obviously not the first time the second prince has heard such meaningful and suggestive words. Every time he listens, he always feels a little joy that cannot be expressed in his mouth.

The second prince stretched his eyebrows and smiled.

...

In the afternoon, the Pepper Room Hall.

Emperor Xuanhe summoned important officials in the court to discuss matters. Empress Pei returned to the Jiaofang Hall, and Cheng Jinrong followed Empress Pei. Concubine Gu led Princess Kangning to come.

Princess Corning is getting older and looks become more and more beautiful, and her every move is full of gentle and bookish spirit. Her voice is gentle and gentle: "Cangning has seen her mother."

Empress Pei smiled and said, "No need to be polite, sit down and talk!"

Princess Corning smiled and thanked her, and sat beside Concubine Gu Shu.

After Gu Shufei took charge of the palace affairs, he reported all the affairs of the harem to Empress Pei every three days. Compared with the manner when Concubine Zheng was in charge of the palace affairs, Gu Shufei was cautious.

Empress Pei also wanted to re-establish the rules of establishing the harem, so she also accused her.

Xuanhe Dilong was weak and had not entered the harem in the past six months. The concubines in the harem could not even see the emperor, let alone compete for favor. In addition, the imperial concubine Zheng was deposed and imprisoned by Zhongcui Palace, they were all honest and peaceful. The harem was unprecedentedly peaceful and peaceful.

There is no intrigue in the harem, which is nothing more than trivial palace affairs. It is almost the same as the backyard of the inner houses of wealthy families.

After Gu Shufei reported for half an hour, she finished speaking.

Empress Pei smiled and said, "You do things carefully, I feel relieved. By the way, the fourth and fifth princes will be married next year. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will also start building a mansion for them!"

When talking about this, Concubine Gu couldn't help but sigh: "I'm not hiding it, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is making things difficult for this."

"It is not a trivial matter for the prince to build a mansion. The fourth and fifth princes build a mansion at the same time is really expensive. But a few days ago, the emperor issued an order to allocate one million taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve as military pay. The silver in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' account was immediately reduced by 30%.

"It's really a bit difficult to build a mansion for the two princes."

When a prince builds a mansion, he has his own regulations. At least he has to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. When two princes build a mansion at the same time, it is indeed a lot.

Empress Pei thought for a moment and said, "You have sent oral instructions to the General Manager of the Office of the Internal Affairs. Now it is the most urgent time for war, so everything should be simple. The fourth and fifth princes set up the house and simplify the regulations and reduce one-third. The palace will personally talk to them."

Concubine Gu breathed a sigh of relief and responded softly.
