The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 85 The Queen Understands Very Well

The day of the enthronement ceremony was getting closer day by day, and the rumors in the capital became more and more intense. Seeing that Xiao Yu and Jun Rong were not disturbed at all, the common people also murmured in their hearts.

"Hey, why do you think people don't care at all?"

The speaker stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, and the others immediately understood what he meant.

"What's there to care about? You still don't understand? This capital is four-legged, the Duke of Zhen doesn't get involved in political affairs, he only wants to lead troops to fight, and the Duke of Ding is powerful. Although the regent is gone, the prince is still there , the military power is still there, what is there to be afraid of? Do you think the Xuanying Army brought out by the regent is a vegetarian? One hundred thousand troops, extremely brave, who is not afraid?"

"It's true. If I have so many soldiers and horses, I won't be afraid."

"Huh? Is there going to be a war?"

Someone asked worriedly, complaining endlessly: "The harvest was not good last year. If there is another fight, how will we survive!"

"Cry ass, can you talk about it when you fight!"

While the few people were talking, there was a sound of horseshoes from around the corner, and then a group of guards in light armor with knives came out solemnly.

The common people backed away for a moment and shut their mouths.

The guards moved in unison, guarding the four-horse carriage in the middle. There was a mark with complicated patterns engraved on the outer wall of the carriage. Looking closely, it was the character "Xiao" in the middle. Everyone immediately realized that this was the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace!
Seeing this, they didn't dare to speak anymore, and stared wide-eyed at the carriage passing by.

Jun Rong lifted the curtain on the window curiously and looked out. Seeing the people looking at the carriage with apprehension on their faces, she felt a slight tug in her heart. She turned her head and said to Xiao Yu, "They used to be kind when they saw us. Are you turning your face now?"

Xiao Yu took the curtain from his hand and put it down, "It's cold, Your Highness don't look at it."

Jun Rong replied with a lonely expression, "Oh."

"It's no big deal. After you successfully ascend the throne, the rumors will pass away, and the common people will still greet you with a smile when they know you are good."

"It's too fickle..."

He muttered something in a low voice, but when he thought of the years in the palace, the servants were all flattering, and he was relieved.

Xiao Yu: "It's just human nature. Your Highness has to learn to get used to it. When you are useful, everyone is willing to support you and wish to confess you. However, once you are no longer useful, no one cares. The so-called icing on the cake is easy, Sending charcoal in the snow is difficult, it’s all about the world.”

Jun Rong looked up at him, and suddenly asked: "You are obviously not much older than me, why do you know so much?"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, his light-colored lips evoked a slightly indifferent arc, "The more you see, the more you understand."

Inexplicably, Jun Rong felt that Xiao Yu was a bit difficult to get close to at the moment, as if he had suddenly cut himself off from his surroundings, preventing anyone from going overboard.

He opened his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.

……

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Zhou Xi, who received the news, had already brought people to carry the sedan chair and waited. When they got off the carriage, they immediately got on the sedan chair and were carried into the palace.

Originally, Xiao Yu planned to bring Ning Zhao back, but when something like this happened, taking her by his side might not be able to take care of her, and if something happened, the gain would outweigh the loss, so she still let Ning Zhao stay in the palace temporarily , Wait until the enthronement ceremony is over, and then take over, so this time there are still only the two of them.

After stopping at Xianrong Palace, Zhou Xi stepped forward and opened the car curtain: "Your Highness, please—"

Jun Rong nodded and came out of the sedan chair, turned her head to look behind, Xiao Yu said to Zhou Xi after getting off the sedan chair, "Clean up another room next to my room, and prepare more women's rouge powder."

Zhou Xi was stunned, and gossip flashed in his eyes: "Yes, is there any other request?"

"Not yet, let's do it."

"okay."

Zhou Xi turned his head and told the servants to prepare. Xiao Yu and Jun Rong were about to enter the hall when someone suddenly shouted: "It seems that we came at the right time."

A group of people turned their heads and saw the empress and concubine Lian coming together, followed by a row of court ladies and eunuchs, blocking the entrance of Xianrong Palace.

Xiao Yu smiled lightly: "It's indeed the right time. I originally planned to visit the two empresses for a while. Since you are here, let's come in and talk."

"Wenfeng, prepare tea—"

"Yes."

The four maidservants hurried off to prepare tea.

Concubine Lian and the Empress looked at each other and smiled, and said to the maids behind them after they went up the steps: "You go to the side hall and wait, I have something to say to your highness and son."

"Yes."

Zhou Xi was also stopped outside without any surprise. He was quick-witted, and within a short while roughly guessed the purpose of the empress and concubine Lian's visit. He stood silently outside the door, looked at the cloudy sky, and sighed. Tone: "When will this messy day end?"

Everything in the hall was as usual, the four of them took their seats first and second, the monarch and the empress sat at the top, Xiao Yu and Concubine Lian faced each other.

The few people knew each other's purpose well, and they didn't go around in circles. The queen cut to the chase and said, "We all know the rumors outside. We want to ask you two, what are your plans?"

Xiao Yu likes this kind of straight-forward, and said with a smile: "If the enemy does not move, I will not move. They have set up such a big game. They must want to close the net on the day of the enthronement ceremony. There are still three days left. Once the three days arrive, we will see the result."

"I can see that you look calm. You must be fully prepared. The matter is important. I won't ask about the specific plan. I just want to know how you deal with the concubines in the harem. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, the queen and I came forward, the queen and them There is no conflict, and I will not be embarrassed, but I am Shizi's aunt anyway, I am afraid that at that time, they will take me as a hostage."

This situation is not impossible, Xiao Yu nodded: "Your Majesty's words are very true, so when that day comes, Your Majesty, don't move around, I will send someone to guard by your side."

Concubine Lian frowned and hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's the only way to go."

The empress glanced at her and said: "On the day of the enthronement ceremony, I ask the concubine to follow me all the time. With me, I will take care of her."

As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes fell on her, and the queen smiled calmly, "Can't you trust me?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "Where is it, the empress is willing to help, I am grateful."

As she said she got up and bowed to the queen, the queen accepted it with a smile, "My son, please, it is not so much helping you, it is better to say that I am helping myself. The abolished prince is the son of the former queen, how can he respect me?" Not to mention other people, my biological mother is still alive, once they gain power, my position in the harem will be very embarrassing, controlled by left and right, so of course I want to choose someone who can make me feel at ease."

She looked at Jun Rong while talking, and said admiringly, "His Highness Eighth has a pure heart, so he won't treat me badly, right?"
