Chapter 201 The wolf in sheep's clothing
After the fifth princess rested, Gu Yuling took the food boxes and left Yuehe Palace.

The next day the Great Court Meeting.

Not only officials of fourth rank and above were required to attend, but nobles above count were also ordered to attend the court meeting. Not only that, envoys from Honglu Temple from various countries also came outside the palace. I heard that it was the order from the regent that these people were allowed today. Meet the emperor.

Most of the nobles in the capital who had not participated in the imperial government were already retired, and they were quite panicked when they were suddenly notified to attend the imperial meeting.

Even Zhenbei Palace, which had been hidden among the court officials for more than ten years, was notified.

Xuan Cang went into the study to tell Qin Shuhuang the news. Qin Shuhuang raised his head from the document and looked at Xuan Cang.

"Tomorrow is the court meeting. Do you want to take leave to deal with personal matters?"

Xuan Cang was startled by Qin Shuhuang's question and glanced at Qin Shuhuang with a slight frown. Did His Highness have doubts about his identity?
It can be seen that Qin Shuhuang lowered his head and started to read the documents again, with no change in his expression. Xuan Cang gave up the idea again. It was probably because he had asked for leave several times before that His Highness asked him this question.

However, Qin Shuhuang's question blocked his way to ask for leave.

Xuan Cang said: "My subordinate's family affairs have been taken care of and I won't ask for leave."

"That's good. I'll accompany you to the palace to attend court tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

Looking at Xuan Cang's back, Qin Shuhuang held up his chin, wondering how Brother Canwang could conjure up two people by himself tomorrow morning.

In the evening, Qin Shuhuang went back to the palace to rest and asked Nanny Su to find Xie Xuanye's court clothes in advance and iron them.

At five o'clock the next day, Qin Shuhuang woke up.

Today is the great court meeting. The officials entering the palace have many honors and honors, so they must get up early to prepare to go out.

As soon as his eyes opened, there was no one around him.

Qin Shuhuang called Ruihe in to wait on him and asked, "Where is the prince?"

Ruihe said: "I went to the martial arts field half an hour ago."

Xie Xuanye was avoiding her on purpose. Although Xie Xuanye had to do morning exercises every morning, he didn't get up so early.

"Let Shilan Shiyu come in and take care of you. You go and call the prince back. After a while, I will pack up and I will go out to the palace with the prince."

Ruihe called Shilan Shiyu in, and she went to the martial arts field to find King Zhenbei.

But after Qin Shuhuang changed into court clothes and simply ate two eggs and a small bowl of milk, Xie Xuanye still didn't come back.

Xie Xuanye didn't come back, but Ruihe did.

Ruihe said: "Butler Xie Dian has something urgent to do with the prince. The prince said that he was changing clothes and eating in the study in the front yard, and would wait for His Highness in the front yard to go out together."

Qin Shuhuang chuckled.

When it was time to go out, Qin Shuhuang first returned to the eldest princess's mansion through the side door of the Zhenbei palace, and then went out from the eldest princess's mansion.

Arriving at the gate of the eldest princess's residence, Qin Shuhuang saw Xuan Cang standing beside her carriage.

As she thought, Xie Xuanye did not ride a horse today, but chose to ride a carriage. At this moment, Xie Xuanye's carriage had stopped at the gate of the palace.

Qin Shuhuang glanced at Xuan Cang, and then said to Xuan Cang: "The palace's carriage is not as spacious and comfortable as my carriage. Xuan Cang helps me ask the prince if he wants to ride with me."

Xuan Cang stiffened for a moment, then immediately accepted.

Immediately, Xuan Cang, who was dressed in black soft armor, led two guards and walked quickly to the carriage of the palace, "Your Majesty, Your Highness invites you to ride together."

It took a while for a voice to be heard from inside the carriage, "Go and tell His Highness that I woke up this morning feeling cold, and for fear of infecting Your Highness, I will not share the ride with Your Highness."

"Yes, my lord."

When Xuan Cang raised his head, his sharp eyes glanced at the people in the carriage, his eyes full of threats and warnings.Sitting in the carriage, Xie Zhuo, wearing the clothes of King Zhenbei and a mask of Xie Xuanye, was shivering.

His prince, could you please not let him do such a dangerous thing next time!
When he heard his master's voice just now, he was almost scared to death.

If this happens again next time, he recommends Xie Cheng!
Xuan Cang came back quickly and told Qin Shuhuang what "Xie Xuanye" said.

Xuan Cang glanced at Qin Shuhuang uneasily with his deep eyes, fearing that Qin Shuhuang would insist on riding in the same carriage as "Xie Xuanye" at this time.

Before Qin Shuhuang spoke, Xuan Cang said: "Your Highness, there are many informants today, so please don't get too close to the prince outside."

In the eyes of others, Qin Shuhuang and King Zhenbei were still a bitter couple.

When Qin Shuhuang saw Xuan Cang like this, he couldn't help but want to tease him.

With a serious look on her face, she took two steps forward and walked to Xuan Cang's side. Her voice was a little low, so only Xuan Cang could hear her.

"If I don't get close to the prince, how can I get closer to you?"

Xuan Cang was startled. Although his face was stern, his ears could not help but turn red.

Immediately, he replied: "I don't dare."

Qin Shuhuang glanced at him and stopped embarrassing her brother, the crippled king, and let the maids help him get into the carriage of the eldest princess's palace.

The carriage drove quickly towards the palace.

In a short while, the convoy of the Princess Royal Mansion pulled away from the convoy of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.

The Zhenbei Palace belongs to a group of nobles with no authority. Qin Shuhuang is now the Princess Protector. Her status in the court is not comparable to that of the Zhenbei Palace. The order of queuing up to enter the palace will also be different.

As Xuan Cang said, outsiders, the only way for a couple to stay together is to paralyze their opponents.

When Qin Shuhuang's special carriage arrived at the palace gate, the palace gate was already crowded like a vegetable market.

Carriages from various palaces were lined up at the palace gate, and the officials at the back might not be able to enter the palace gate for half an hour.

Qin Shuhuang did not need to queue and entered the palace through the side door specially provided for royal members.

The great court was not allowed to bring guards, so Qin Shuhuang replaced him with Bu Hu, taking only Ruihe into the palace, while the others could only wait in the corner hall.

The carriages of Zhenbei Palace were lined up among the nobles. The nobles' queue was shorter and faster than the officials', but the two teams were not far apart and could see each other.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, Xie Zhuo, who was sitting in the carriage, was already covered in cold sweat. Why hasn't the prince come back yet?
Fortunately, Xie Xuanye got on the carriage when there was another noble family in front.

Xie Zhuo helped his master change clothes.

Not far away was Gu Long's carriage queuing up.

Just now Qin Shuhuang took the lead in entering the palace, and Chang Sui beside Gu Long had already reported to him.

Now he saw the Zhenbei Prince's carriage lining up through the curtain, and Gu Long sneered. It seemed that the relationship between Qin Shuhuang and Zhenbei Prince was indeed as bad as the rumors outside.

Qin Shuhuang dared to divorce his son, but if she had a conflict with the surly King Zhenbei, she would not be able to escape unscathed like she did in the Gu family!
When the regent succeeds in his great cause, he will make Qin Shuhuang kneel at the door of their Gu family and beg the Gu family for forgiveness!
Gu Long, who was thinking this way, probably didn't realize that he, a fourth-grade official who was idle, only got it through Qin Shuhuang's connections.

After the busy palace gate inspection, the officials and royal personnel entered the court.

With the sound of a long whip at the Meridian Gate, the Great Court Meeting begins.

At this court meeting, the fourth prince Prince Ping also came.

Standing behind Qin Shuhuang.

If Qin Shumin's temperament is noble and majestic, the temperament of the fourth prince Qin Shujue is gentle and peaceful. Like water that can tolerate all things, he always smiles when he sees people, making people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze.

But Qin Shuhuang, who has experienced a lifetime, knows that the real fourth prince is not such a person!
He is a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing!He keeps an eye on the hunting ground all the time, waiting to find the most suitable ending opportunity, and then kills the weak prey with one blow!
