Chapter 415 Parties
A palace banquet was set up in Baohe Hall, and Yuan Silan and the second prince and the sixth prince attended. He Qi, who was strong in the holy family, also attended.
The eldest prince was so angry that he died of anger when he learned about this.
In the past, he was the habit of eating with his father. This jealous and holy favor was also his. But at some point, he gradually lost his father's favor.
His biological mother was deposed as a concubine, demoted to Zheng Jieyu, and imprisoned Zhongcui Palace. It was almost a fatal blow to him. During this period, he was tolerant, low-key, cautious and cautious in everything, but unfortunately he had little effect. Emperor Xuanhe was very cold to him.
Now even the palace banquet is not available.
Seeing that the eldest prince's face was gloomy and ugly, several aides had their own thoughts. They all expressed their consolation: "I heard that the palace banquet tonight was specially set up for His Highness the Prince of Tatar. He is the fiancé of Prince Shouning. It is normal for human beings to be closer to the second and sixth princes."
"The emperor held a small banquet, but I think he didn't want to give the Tatar prince too much decent. It's hard to say whether the Tatar prince will live or die or not, whether he can come back."
"That is, in three days, the Prince of Tatar will leave the palace and leave the capital. The Emperor appointed 200 imperial guards and 2,000 imperial guards to accompany him to protect the Prince of Tatar. Your Highness can find a way to arrange a few people to join the list. In this way, you can grasp the whereabouts and current situation of the Prince of Tatar at any time."
The eldest prince was finally not overwhelmed by jealousy, nodded and adopted the advice of his staff.
The imperial guards are all children of nobles. Most of the soldiers in the imperial guards are from generals or innocent people. The imperial guards are personal soldiers of the emperor, and the imperial guards are absolutely loyal to the emperor.
With the ability of the eldest prince, it is already good to be able to insert a few eyeliners.
...
The fourth and fifth princes in the palace were not in much better mood.
The two of them are fifteen years old this year. After this year, they will be sixteen years old and will start a wedding next year. Once they live outside the palace, they are far less convenient than living in the palace.
But now, they are still in the palace, and the father's eyes can't see the two of them. It's really frustrating to set up a palace banquet in Baohe Palace and specially summoned the sixth prince to the banquet, but did not call them to go there.
The fourth prince had to swallow his anger. The fifth prince was so angry that he went to Concubine Wei Xian's bedroom and complained to Concubine Wei Xian:
"...I know I am not as favored as my elder brother and second brother, nor as favored by my father as the younger six. But I am also the son of my father, why is my father so favored one and the other?"
Wei Xianfei looked at the fifth prince who was full of displeasure and was frustrated, and she felt uncomfortable, and sighed: "What is it now? Only when your father has appointed the crown prince will you know what it means to be favored by one or the other."
The fifth prince: “…”
They are both princes and sons of the father. The difference is not big at the moment. When they have a crown prince in the future, the brothers will immediately have a difference in height.
Think farther away, when the father passed away and returned to the west, and as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, how could they have their place in the capital?
There are precedents for several emperor uncles who "dead early"!
The fifth prince felt more and more unhappy. After holding it in for a long time, he squeezed out: "Mother, I am really unwilling to accept it."
Why is he not as good as the eldest prince and the second prince? Now, the young Xiaoliu is deeply favored by his father and has suppressed the limelight of the eldest prince and the second prince.
The fifth prince is the only one prince left.
Concubine Wei Xian smiled bitterly: "Mother's mother is not willing to accept it. Back then, I was also the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion and went to the palace to be a concubine. It sounds nice, but it is actually no different from the concubine. There is an empress and a concubine Zheng in the palace. I, Concubine Wei Xian, have been through so many years in embarrassment."
"It's all the mothers who are not useful, and they are inferior to their sons who are implicated."
Concubine Wei Xian said, her eyes slightly red.
In the harem, the son has always been the noble mother. She, a virtuous concubine, was not favored, and the fifth prince was also a mediocre relative.
Seeing that Concubine Wei Xian was so sad, the fifth prince immediately regretted it: "I just said it casually and never complained about my mother's wife. Don't take it to heart."
Concubine Wei Xian wiped the corners of her eyes with a veil and said softly: "The future is long, and what will happen in the future? I will only know in the future. Mother knows that you are depressed, but you have to endure it now."
"Xiao Liu is pleased by your father, so you can have a lot of contact with Xiao Liuduoduo. How does Xiao Liu please your father? Learn more."
The fifth prince felt even more depressed after hearing this.
He wanted to learn, but his father only asked Xiao Liu to go to Baohe Palace to serve in the pen and ink, and he could only stare at him with envy.
The fifth prince cheered up and responded with a smile.
Concubine Wei thought about it and whispered: "The matter of Yuan Silan leaving the palace and going to the border has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved in it."
The fifth prince responded without changing his expression, but thought in his heart that he would at least have to put some eyeliners in it. Otherwise, if he didn't even know what happened, he would not talk about how to deal with it, and even use the situation to gain some benefits for himself?
...
This palace banquet went smoothly.
Emperor Xuanhe was in a good mood, Yuan Silan and the second prince were chatting and laughing, and He Qi was calm.
The sixth prince stayed in Baohe Palace for a while and gradually became familiar with political affairs. He also learned to look at Yuan Silan's departure from Beijing from a political perspective.
Shake the morale of the Tatars and win this battle as soon as possible. The worst result is that Yuan Silan was regarded as a traitor by the Tatars. Anyway, it is not harmful to Da Chu.
The Sixth Prince was not just kind and soft-hearted. He knew that Yuan Silan's life and death were uncertain, but he had no feeling of pity and regret.
In his opinion, people like Yuan Silan who have bad intentions are not worthy of being his brother-in-law at all. It’s better to die on the border!
After the palace banquet ended, the second prince and Yuan Silan left together.
He Qi said with a whisper, and Emperor Xuanhe smiled and said, "I will give you two days off and go back to the Duke of Pingguo's Mansion for two days to get some clothes. You can choose the imperial guards who accompany you. Two thousand imperial guards, let Zhenyuan Hou order troops for you."
Zhenyuan Hou was the commander of the Imperial Guardian and knew the soldiers in the Imperial Guardian. It was indeed the most appropriate for Zhenyuan Hou to order troops.
He Qi responded with respect and said, leaving.
Emperor Xuanhe had not drunk alcohol for half a year. He had a whim tonight. After drinking a few glasses of water and wine, he felt a sense of Xunran. At this time, he was drunk and he was a little unsteady when he was together.
"Be careful, Father." The sixth prince immediately reached out to support Emperor Xuanhe.
Emperor Xuanhe didn't care and said casually: "You go back and rest earlier, so you can have your mother accompany me."
The sixth prince was worried and insisted on helping Emperor Xuanhe back to his dormitory before leaving.
Empress Pei smiled and reached out to support Emperor Xuanhe's arm: "I have already asked someone to prepare hot water, so the emperor will take a shower and change his clothes first."
