After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 200 The Decree
When Qi Zhengrong returned to the imperial study, the Minister of Rites had already left.Seeing Qi Zhengrong coming in, the emperor asked, "Have all the palaces been notified?"

"Yes!" Qi Zhengrong bent down and replied respectfully: "According to His Majesty's order, we have all been notified. The Queen Mother's side is the servant who went there in person."

"En!" The emperor nodded, and asked again: "Have you seen someone?"

Of course Qi Zhengrong knew who this was referring to. He immediately bowed and replied, "Yes! I saw it. It really is quite different from before."

Qi Zhengrong was the emperor's personal servant, so of course he had met Shangguan Jing and Xiao Jingheng before.This pair of heartless and brainless young couples used to be the empress dowager's pistachio, and they were often brought into the palace by King Huaiyang these years. Of course Qi Zhengrong was very familiar with them before.

"Oh?" Hearing Qi Zhengrong's answer, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you say it?"

"Responsiveness, advances and retreats are measured." Qi Zhengrong replied: "It is very different from the previous performance in the palace. It can be seen that what Master Mo said is true."

"Heh..." The emperor chuckled lightly: "Sure enough. He is capable."

"Do you want to meet, Your Majesty?" Qi Zhengrong asked again.

The emperor didn't answer immediately, but started to walk back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back, and after a long time he shook his head and said, "No rush. According to my order, move him to Pingkang Palace."

Hearing the emperor's words, Qi Zhengrong was taken aback for a moment.Pingkang Palace is in the northwest corner of the palace, very far away, no one has lived in it for many years, and I don't know why the emperor thought of this place.

"Your servant will send someone to rush to clean out the Pingkang Palace." Qi Zhengrong hastily bowed and agreed, and then asked one more question: "Your Majesty, will His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess also temporarily move to Pingkang Palace? Over there It's quite far away from the Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace, so it's not convenient for the eldest princess to visit the Empress Dowager every day."

"No!" The emperor waved his hand: "Mingrui also lived in the palace for a few days, let her go back. By the way, let her send the youngest daughter of Marquis Wuding back to her natal home first."

? ? ?Qi Zhengrong couldn't help raising his head, and looked at the emperor with a question mark on his face.

Didn't the emperor say that the eldest princess should live in the palace temporarily and help take care of Xiao Jingheng?Why did the eldest princess leave the palace suddenly?Also, since Xiao Jingheng was asked to move to Pingkang Palace, why did he let his little daughter-in-law go back to her natal home?

"Choose a few people yourself and send them to Pingkang Palace." The emperor continued to order as if he hadn't seen Qi Zhengrong's strange face: "From today on, you should watch the food yourself. If there is a mistake, you are the only one who asks."

"Yes!" Qi Zhengrong was startled, and quickly bowed his head in agreement.Of course he knows the severity.This Xiao Jingheng is now the emperor's only prince, if something happens to him, then ten of his heads are really not enough to cut off.

But precisely because Xiao Jingheng's safety is very important, Qi Zhengrong was even more puzzled. Wouldn't it be safer for this person to stay in the Empress Dowager's Palace temporarily and let the Eldest Princess take care of him?Why do you have to move to the remote Pingkang Palace?Wouldn't it be more troublesome if someone with a heart took advantage of the loophole?
"The other thing is to ask Mo Chenfeng to send a few reliable guards to work in Pingkang Palace." The emperor didn't care what Qi Zhengrong thought, and continued to order: "Aside from these two, I don't care about anything else. Let him go to Pingkang Palace alone first." Stay in the palace and wait until the princes' funerals are over."

After the funeral?Qi Zhengrong counted with his fingers. The three princes were mourned according to princely rites. The emperor stopped court for five days, the palace wore plain clothes for three days, and the family members wore plain clothes for a hundred days.

This... Calculated in the shortest time, it would have to be a hundred days later before it can be called "after the funeral", right?Sending Xiao Jingheng's daughter-in-law back to her natal family, leaving her alone in the remote Pingkang Palace for three months, and not allowing the eldest princess to accompany and protect her, what does the emperor want to do?

But doubts are doubts, Qi Zhengrong absolutely dare not ask more questions.He could only agree to deliver the decree.

Xiao Mingrui and his wife in Shouan Palace, Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng didn't expect that Qi Zhengrong would go and come back again, and the purpose he brought back was even more incomprehensible.

"What did you say?" Xiao Mingrui raised his eyebrows after hearing the order: "Let me take Jing'er out of the palace? Liu Heng'er is alone in the palace? Are you going to move to Pingkang Palace? What is the emperor thinking?" of?!"

"Returning to Your Highness," Qi Zhengrong said with a helpless expression on his face, "I don't even know."

"I'll go and ask myself." Xiao Mingrui stood up and wanted to go out, so flustered that Qi Zhengrong hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness! Your Highness! The emperor ordered that no one should disturb you. It's useless if you go."

"Aunt." Xiao Jingheng also chased after him, and stopped Xiao Mingrui with his hand: "You take sister Jing out of the palace, don't worry about me. I don't think the emperor made such an arrangement casually, you just went to see the emperor, I'm afraid it can't change anything. Aunt, you don't need to be so worried about me, I'm no longer a child, and sooner or later I have to face many things alone. "

Xiao Mingrui paused, looking at Xiao Jingheng who was already taller than her, suddenly feeling a little emotional.Time flies so fast, it seems that in the blink of an eye, the lonely and helpless child has grown up, like a green pine facing the sun, and has begun to have the ability to bear the wind and rain.

"Can I be alone?" Shangguan Jing took a step forward and took Xiao Jingheng's sleeve: "I think the emperor probably wanted to find out about you, so he asked my aunt and me to go out of the palace, leaving only you Alone in the palace. It won't be easy."

"Yes." Xiao Jingheng smiled at Shangguan and nodded firmly: "I can take care of myself, you trust me. I promise you, I will wait for you to come back in the palace."

"That's good." Shangguan Jing trusted Xiao Jingheng's promise, so she nodded without hesitation: "I'm going out of the palace, and I'll go back to my mother's house for a few days. After the funerals of the princes, I'll wait for you to pick me up."

"Okay." Xiao Jingheng stretched out his hand and touched Shangguan Jing's face: "Wait for me."

At this time, Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng didn't know that their separation lasted for a whole year.

Shangguan Jing followed Xiao Mingrui out of the palace early the next morning.The empress dowager still refused to see anyone, so Shangguanjing only greeted her through the door before leaving the palace.

The prince's funeral was imminent, and when Shangguan Jing left the palace, some palace people had already changed into plain clothes, and the atmosphere in the palace was gloomy and mournful. It was on such a day that Xiao Jingheng moved into the remote and deserted palace with a few books in his hand. Pingkang Palace.

After leaving the palace, Shangguan Jing was taken back to her natal home by Mrs. Wu Dinghou not long after she returned to the Princess Mansion.
