Chapter 293 Stop

The team has entered the outskirts of Beijing. The weather along the way has been excellent. There was only one snowstorm on the way, and it was not big. Small snowflakes fell to the ground and melted quickly.

Mrs. Xuanyuan decided to rest at the inn for one night and then go to the city early tomorrow morning.

Although it was late afternoon and she had time to enter the city, she did not notify the emperor when she returned to the capital. Her sudden return to the capital today would definitely alarm the entire harem. Why bother messing with others while eating?

Even if there is to be a shock, everyone must be given time to prepare.

And when she brought Xiaojiu back, how could she return to the palace in a low-key manner? Of course, she had to be greeted by the entire harem!

So after asking Xuanyuan Que's opinion, the Queen Mother decided to enter the city early tomorrow morning.

After the post officer at the post station settled the Queen Mother and her party, he immediately sent a message to the palace.

At that time, the emperor was summoning the prince to go to Qianqing Palace to have dinner with him.

After learning that the Queen Mother and Xuanyuan Que had returned to the capital and were staying at a post station on the outskirts of the capital tonight, the Crown Prince immediately said, "Father, I would like to go out to welcome the Imperial Grandmother and the Ninth Emperor's younger brother back to the palace."

emperor:"."

He wanted to say this too.

He hasn't left the palace for a long time! No, haven’t you seen the Queen Mother and Xiaojiu?

But he had to go to court tomorrow, and it was impossible to go out of the city to meet his mother. He could only greet her at the palace gate with all the civil and military officials and concubines of the harem after the morning court.

When the queen mother returned to the outskirts of Beijing, she did not immediately enter the city to return to the palace. Instead, she stopped at the inn. This gave him enough time to prepare and welcome her back to the palace.

The emperor knew that the prince could not wait to see the queen mother and Xiaojiu, so he said: "Then you go to the post station to greet the queen mother on my behalf and escort the queen mother back to the palace safely."

"My son, my order!"

Then the prince no longer wanted to have dinner with the emperor, but he was still patient and finished the dinner as leisurely as usual, making it impossible to see the slightest impatience.

The emperor knew that he was eager to leave the city, but he was very satisfied when he didn't show any signs of it.

As a prince and future emperor, he must behave in a way that makes people guess what he is thinking at all times.

Of course, appropriate emotional exposure is also necessary, just like what I did just now.

After all, people are not sculptures, they have seven emotions and six desires. If the people closest to you don't react at all when you come back, that would be too cold-blooded.

The news that the prince left the palace with a royal army in the evening reached the ears of the empress immediately.

The Prince of the East Palace lives in the palace. He has a noble status and is connected to the country. For safety reasons, he cannot leave the palace easily.

The prince leaves the palace, and brings a royal guard army with him, so something big must happen.

After receiving the news, the queen immediately ordered the most trusted nanny around her: "Let someone follow the prince and find out why he left the palace."

"Yes!" Nanny Yan responded and immediately went out to find out the news herself.

The queen felt uneasy and frowned unconsciously.

Not long ago, there was a snowstorm at the beginning of winter in Northern Xinjiang. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate a batch of grain to be shipped to Northern Xinjiang to help the people.

Because the grain in the Northeast Granary had been stored for several years, the emperor decided to gradually replace it with new ones, so he transferred it from the Northeast Granary.

However, when adjusting the grain, I discovered that all the grain stored in the granary was moldy. And it’s so moldy that you can’t eat it anymore!

The Northeast Granary is the grain reserve of Xuanyuan State, which stores a lot of grain. It can be said that it has been stored since the founding of the country. All the grain taxes paid by the three northeastern state capitals in recent years have been stored in grain reserves and have not been touched.

These grains will not be moved easily unless there is a national crisis.

Now millions of stones of grain are all moldy. The official in charge of the imperial granary is her natal nephew. At the very least, he will be charged with dereliction of duty and be dismissed from his post!

But she was afraid that the emperor would chop off his head.

Her nephew is already handling this matter, but it hasn't been settled yet.

If the prince left the palace this time to investigate this matter, it would be troublesome!

Queen Su was wondering if she could arrange an accident so that he would never come back?
The queen knew that the prince left the palace, and the other concubines also soon knew about it. After learning about it, the concubine also said to her subordinates: "Go and find out why the prince suddenly left the palace."

The masters of each palace sent people out to find out why the prince left the palace, and then the emperor's message was also sent to each palace: "Tomorrow's concubines and above will go out of the palace to greet the queen mother at the beginning of Chenshi."

Then the whole harem exploded.

The Queen least wanted the Queen Mother to come back, but even if she didn't want it, she would have to personally take people to decorate Cining Palace and Xuanyang Palace where the Ninth Prince lived, to show her virtuous character.

However, she had always wanted to go into the palace where Xuanyuan Que lived, and she always felt that Xuanyuan Que was too smart.

Not as smart as a child, but like an old fox!
After she became the queen and took full control of the harem, she placed people around Xuanyuan Que and the prince.

But as long as it was the person she arranged, Xuanyuan Que would cry as soon as he came into contact with Xuanyuan Que, and he would try his best, and then all her people would be transferred away by the emperor.

Not only did she set it up, but so did the other concubines.

As a result, the Prince's East Palace and Xuanyang Palace are now impregnable.

She, a queen, was even ordered by the emperor not to interfere with their two servants.

Today she thought it was a good opportunity.

Xuanyuan Que's palace has not allowed anyone he doesn't like to enter since he was seven or eight months old and started to talk.

Except for the palace officials he personally selected, usually only the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Prince could enter.

Moreover, there are no maids in Xuanyang Palace, only two eunuchs.

At this moment, the Queen and a group of palace attendants came to the gate of Xuanyang Palace. As the Ninth Prince was coming back soon, the Queen, as the Queen Mother, came to see if the Ninth Prince's palace had been cleaned well.

Unfortunately, he was blocked from the door by the eunuch of Xuanyang Palace.

The maid next to the Queen angrily yelled: "How dare you. The Queen is the mother of the Ninth Prince, and she has personally come to decorate the palace for the Ninth Prince. Do you dare to stop her?"

The eunuch knelt down and said, "I don't dare, but the Emperor has ordered that no one can enter the Ninth Prince's palace! Please don't embarrass me."

"Bah! Those were the rules set when the Ninth Prince was still in the palace. Now that the Queen has come to clean the Ninth Prince herself, you still dare to stop him? Doesn't this make the world think that the Ninth Prince is disrespectful to the Queen and has let down the Queen as a loving mother? You are trying to do something wrong to the Ninth Prince! Get out of the way! Don’t blame me for being rude!”

"I don't dare!" The eunuch refused.

"How dare you! How dare you disrespect the queen and disobey the queen's orders?" The eunuch beside the queen kicked the eunuch of Xuanyang Palace away!

The emperor personally went to Cining Palace and found that the queen had arranged it according to the queen mother's preferences. Then he went to his son's palace to have a look. After all, Xiaojiu was withdrawn and didn't like outsiders to enter the house where he lived, and he didn't know how to clean it. How about that, and then I happened to see this scene.
