Chapter 543 The Prince’s Shock

In the Vientiane Palace, all the prime ministers have left.

Qiu Dianjun has not left yet.

She was waiting in the corridor outside the hall, waiting for the Queen's private summons.

In the third memorial just submitted, in addition to requesting that Su Xian be made a marquis, it also mentioned recommending Su Xian to join the inner guard.

It's not easy to talk openly about the internal guard's affairs. The Queen will definitely meet her alone.

Originally, Princess Lanling and Su Xian conspired to get the position of the Imperial Guard, but Qiu Dianjun didn't know about it. In order to arrange for her to enter the capital this time, Princess Lanling stopped hiding it...

After waiting for a while, Nangong Wan'erlian walked up to her, looked at her and said with a smile: "Qiu Dianjun, please come here, Your Majesty wants to see you."

Qiu Dianjun thanked him and followed Nangong Wan'er, twisting and turning, to a side hall in the Wanxiang Palace, where the Queen was waiting.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I have already read what you wrote in the second half of the memorial."

The queen picked up the memorial, glanced at it casually, put it back on the table, and when she looked at Qiu Dianjun again, her face became solemn and her eyes deepened.

Qiu Dianjun raised his eyes and looked at the Queen, and inevitably felt a thump in his heart. It seemed that the Queen was still very conservative.

"Su Xian is indeed very good in all aspects, but... the inner guard is too special. You can't just join if you want to." The queen's voice was very calm, and no emotion could be heard.

However, this is already very obvious.

It means rejection!
Qiu Dianjun sighed softly in his heart. The princess's expectant look before departure was still before her eyes, but she failed to handle the matter well, which made her fall into deep shame...

At this moment, the Queen suddenly said: "So, I decided to meet Su Xian first before talking about it."

Qiu Dianjun suddenly raised his head, looked at the Queen uncertainly and said, "Your Majesty?"

"After you return to Yingzhou, ask Su Xian to prepare for a trip to the capital. The internal guard is too important. I must see him in person before I can make a decision." The Queen said.

"According to the order!" Qiu Dianjun was secretly happy, finally there was still a glimmer of hope.

"You wait in the palace for a while. When Wan'er prepares the imperial edict to confer Su Xian, you can take her back to Yingzhou with her." The queen added.

"According to the order."

"By the way, give me another message to my mother and Su Xian. What they have done has contributed to the country. It is not enough to just confer the title of Marquis of Su Xian County. After this matter is resolved, they will be rewarded based on their merits."

"According to the order!"

"..."

Qiu Dianjun exited the side hall and waited for about a quarter of an hour before Nangong Wan'er delivered an imperial edict and a family letter and handed them into her hands.

The matter of entering the capital has been settled. Qiu Dianjun thanked Nangong Wan'er again and left the palace. Before resting, he left Shendu and rushed to Yingzhou, Hebei Province that day.

……

……

East Palace.

study.

The bright sunshine comes in through the window, and the study is bright and warm.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was playing chess with the Crown Princess. The two looked attentive. Several palace maids were standing beside them, and the study was quiet.

The prince held a sunspot in his hand and played with it carefully, waiting patiently for the hesitant prince with a confident smile on his lips.

Snapped!
In the end, the princess fell in love with Bai Zi.

The prince immediately dropped the black piece in his hand and said with a hearty smile: "My dear concubine, you lost again!"

"His Royal Highness's chess skills have become more and more advanced, and I am willing to show my displeasure." The Crown Princess complimented with a smile.

The prince smiled and nodded, turned to look at the maid waiting beside him and asked: "What time is it? Has the small court meeting in Wanxiang Palace ended? Hasn't Qian Zhongshu sent someone to deliver the news?"

The palace maid replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, there is no news yet."

The Crown Princess advised him to wait patiently and said with a smile: "Maybe there will be a result in another game of chess."

"No more." The prince waved his hand. Just when he was about to say something, a young palace maid volunteered and said, "Your Highness, I can go to the Wanxiang Palace to explore the situation."

"it is good!"

The prince was very happy, and with a wave of his hand, he directly rewarded the young palace maid with ten taels of silver.

The maids next to him were immediately jealous and secretly regretted that they had not thought of this kind of attentive way.

Although they didn't know why the prince was so happy today, such an opportunity was rare. The prince had already rewarded several people with various amounts of gold and silver...

"Then Su Xian will definitely be pushed out by Lan Ling to take the blame. Concubine, what do you think he will be convicted of by Your Majesty?" The prince looked at the princess, playing with a chess piece in his hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"It's hard to say. I think it won't be a death sentence. After all, Su Xian has old skills." The Crown Princess shook her head, suddenly had a thought in her mind, looked at the Prince and suggested:
"Your Highness, this time Su Xian was pushed out by Lan Ling to take the blame and be punished. We can intercede on his behalf, grant him favors, and then win him over..."

"..."

Before she finished speaking, the prince interrupted her with a smile: "My concubine, there is no need to mention this matter again. I used my best efforts to win over this person, in fact, it was mainly to fight against Lan Ling."

"This person does have some talents, but he must be arrogant and arrogant. There is not much benefit in wooing such a person, and maybe..."

"Lan Ling's reputation has been damaged this time because he was dragged down by this person. Don't let such a rebellious person do it! Don't mention this again, my dear wife."

The Crown Princess sighed softly, shook her head and said, "Okay!"

At this time, someone outside the house reported: "Your Highness, the people sent by Qian Zhongshu have arrived..."

The prince jumped up suddenly, with an excited smile on his face, and strode to the door in person to meet the person sent by Qian Zhongshu.

"Your Highness, please be patient for a moment." The Crown Princess quickly stopped him.

The prince came to his senses, suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart and returned to his original position to sit down.

The Crown Princess ordered outside the house: "Bring people here."

After a while, a small official entered the house. When he saw the prince with his head in his arms, he paid homage: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness, and to the Crown Princess."

"No need to be polite... tell me, what will be the outcome of the small court meeting?" The prince could not hide his excitement and anticipation, his eyes were shining.

"Uh..." Seeing the prince's expression, the junior official hesitated for a moment, fearing that the prince would implicate him later, so he couldn't speak for a while.

The prince didn't notice at all and laughed loudly: "Let me take a guess first. Su Xian is probably going to be thrown into the Prison Department's prison and will be tortured, right?"

"This...His Royal Highness..." The little official looked pale, hesitating and hesitating.

"Isn't that right?" The prince completely entered the state of "directing and acting by himself". After pondering for a while, he smiled and said, "Could it be that... His Majesty sentenced Su Xian to death in anger?"

We can no longer let His Highness make random guesses... The clerk secretly gritted his teeth, steeled himself, suddenly raised his head and looked into the Prince's eyes and said:
"Your Highness, Su Xian was not sentenced to death, but...but...but was made a Marquis! Marquis of Fanyang County!"

"What did you say? Marquis?"

The prince's voice suddenly jumped up. His face was extremely shocked and disbelieving. His eyes were as wide as copper bells. He almost rushed over and grabbed the clerk's collar and asked him why he was talking nonsense?
