Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 294 Returning home
Li Qiang put down the Daqian Emperor's Seal in her hand. Without an emperor, it was not unreasonable for the prince to hold the Daqian Emperor's Jade Seal.

He sat on the chair where Emperor Jingwen used to handle government affairs daily.

"Zhang Yi, you go down first!" Li Qiang waved her hand and said.

Eunuch Zhang Yi bowed and left. There was still a look of shock in his eyes when he left.

The Daqian Emperor's Seal represents the emperor. Even though Li Qiang is still the prince, he has the same power as the emperor.

Through this, it can be seen that the Supreme Emperor will not choose another person. Li Qiang is the Emperor of Daqian, and this cannot change again.

He shook his head and put a smile on his face. He had never been hostile to Li Qiang before, and they treated each other respectfully, and finally it paid off.

"You four, come here!" Li Qiang called the four young eunuchs.

The four young eunuchs came to Li Qiang with anxiety and excitement, and stood with their hands tied waiting for Li Qiang's instructions.

Li Qiang's mind moved slightly and activated the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror'.

Li Qiang did not stop this small group of palace guards, even though the strength of these twelve palace guards was not noticed by him, but since he became the prince, he had to do some things according to the rules.

However, seeing the nervous expressions of the other three young eunuchs beside him, I knew that this might not be a universal ability.

"I am leaving the palace!" Li Qiang said after walking around the palace.

He had to tell his family that he had become the Prince of Daqian. In addition, since he had become the Prince of Daqian, Lin Daiyu could no longer live outside the palace.

Jin Dong stood up and stood obediently behind Li Qiang.

As for things that have been used by others, even this East Palace was used by previous people, so we can't just replace the East Palace together.

"Master, if you don't like the used things, I will have them replaced!" Jin Dong said softly.

Besides, the prince's ceremony has not yet been held, so it would be a bit awkward for him to travel with the prince's honor guard at this time.

Although there is no eunuch in charge of the East Palace, as long as there is a leading eunuch, the other eunuchs will quickly find their respective positions.

There were many books on the bookshelf. He reached out and took down one, and saw the annotations written in small characters in the book. This was the handwriting of Emperor Jingwen.

"My name is Jin Dong!" The young eunuch Jin Dong was surprised, and immediately reacted and knelt down and replied.

The car traveled all the way, and when they arrived at the palace gate, there was a small group of palace guards waiting for them.

When Li Qiang came out, a bright yellow car had stopped outside the East Palace.

Li Qiang was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the palace's education for the young eunuchs had reached this level.

"Okay, from now on, you have to take good care of the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace to prevent any trouble!" Li Qiang waved her hand to let them stand down and explained.

"There is no need to prepare a guard of honor, just the prince's car!" Li Qiang reminded.

"Have you learned how to read?" Li Qiang asked again.

"Jin Dong, please stay with me from now on!" Li Qiang said lightly.

"No need, save yourself the trouble!" Li Qiang shook her head and said.

Don't underestimate the prince's departure from the palace. Although Li Qiang has just become the prince, the corresponding departments in the palace have already been prepared. As long as Li Qiang has any instructions, they will immediately go to work.

But since he has the means to guarantee 100% loyalty, why should he test people's hearts?

"I have been in the palace since I can remember, and I have learned to read and read "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "Confucius' Family Sayings", and "The Classic of Filial Piety"!" Jin Dong replied.

"What's your name?" Li Qiang asked, pointing to a pleasant-looking young eunuch.

Just like now, when Li Qiang is leaving the palace, the prince's chariot is always ready and waiting. Even the team of palace guards are on duty in turns and obey orders at any time.

What he didn't know was that if an ordinary immortal used immortal treasures such as the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror' in the palace, the consequences would be a strong backlash.

They have been trained in this since childhood, and it is a lesson learned with a stick and a whip.

He also understood that even without the use of the 'Fengyue Treasure Mirror', it would be difficult for these four young eunuchs to betray him.

"Master, this slave has taken note of it!" Jin Dong replied while asking the eunuch to step back.

The annotations in these books are quite insightful and are good for daily entertainment.

Although he is the crown prince of Daqian, he just returned to Beijing today and has not returned home yet.

When activating the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' in the East Palace, he felt a little jerky, as if the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' had been greatly restricted.

He is also adapting to Li Qiang's habits, which is a necessary ability for a personal eunuch, otherwise he will not be able to stay as a personal eunuch for long.

He didn't want to make a big fuss by leaving the palace.

Li Qiang stood up and came to the bookshelf nearby.

"Thank you, Master!" Jin Dong was overjoyed and knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to thank him.

But the 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' was still activated, and he consumed the souls in the four 'Feng Yue Treasure Mirror' to make the four young eunuchs 100% loyal to him.

Jin Dong went out and called a eunuch.

"No need for these in the future!" Li Qiang jumped into the car and said calmly.

He was able to avoid being backlashed because, first of all, he was recognized by the Dragon of Daqian's Luck, and secondly, what he used was not the Qi of the Immortal, but mana. At least the Dragon of Daqian's Luck could not recognize this magic power.

"Slave, please prepare the prince's car right now!" Jin Dong responded quickly.

A eunuch was already kneeling in front of the chariot, using his body as a step.

If he breaks the rules, the eunuchs and palace guards around him will be the first to suffer.

There are twelve palace guards, including two second-class guards and the rest are third-class guards. They are divided into two teams, the front team is eight people responsible for opening the way, and the four people behind are responsible for protecting the rear.

Although the prince's ceremonial guard was not used, everyone knew from the bright yellow chariot and the escort of palace guards and eunuchs that it was a palace chariot.

However, since the news of establishing the crown prince has not spread among the people, no one knows that this is the prince's trip.

This saved Li Qiang a lot of trouble. At least there were only passers-by dodging along the way, and there was no kneeling to greet him.

"Butler, a palace car has entered Rongning Street!" The young man quickly ran into the house and found Butler Lu Xun and reported.

Today, there are only two really powerful families in Rongning Street, one is Prince Yi Zhong's Mansion, and the other is Lin Mansion.

These two families are considered to be one family, so no matter which family the palace car goes to, it is a big deal for the palace. "Go and inform Miss Jade. Don't disturb Madam for now. Wait until you hear what's going on before deciding whether to ask Madam to come forward!" Steward Lu Xun ordered in a deep voice.

He walked quickly towards the gate, still thinking about how someone could come to the palace when Prince Yi Zhong was not around.

After exiting the gate, he saw the bright yellow car and couldn't help but take a breath. He was not one of those young men. His horizons had also been cultivated. He knew that there were only a few people in the palace with such bright yellow cars. Talents are qualified to be used.

"Is it the Supreme Emperor? Impossible, the Supreme Emperor has never left the palace except for the prince's wedding. Is it the Queen Mother? But the Queen Mother's driving is not like this!" Steward Lu Xun guessed in his heart.

Only when Jin Dong opened the curtain and carefully helped Li Qiang out of the carriage did Butler Lu Xun understand.

"Your Majesty, you have returned home!" Although Li Qiang's use of a bright yellow car was a bit excessive, it might have been the palace's car to send Li Qiang back to his home, so Butler Lu Xun didn't think much about it, he bowed and said.

Li Qiang did not explain anything. He entered the mansion with six eunuchs and twelve palace guards.

The prince's chariot also entered the mansion through the side door, and someone specially arranged the fodder for the horses.

"Your Majesty!" Feicui also arrived at this time. When she saw that it was Li Qiang who was coming back, she couldn't help but smile and bowed.

"You make arrangements to prepare for the move!" Li Qiang ordered with a smile.

"Didn't you say that you would wait until your wife gave birth before moving to Prince Yi Zhong's palace?" Feicui didn't understand why Li Qiang was in such a hurry to move, and ordered the move as soon as he came back after being away for so long.

"We are moving to the East Palace in the palace. You and Qin'er will go there, as well as Xue Yan and the others. I'm a little worried about whether Sister Lin will get used to it in the East Palace. It would be better to bring more people with me!" Li Qiang shook her head and explained.

Jade's eyes widened when she heard Dong Gong.

"Are you moving to the East Palace?" She repeated the confirmation in disbelief.

"Yes, now I have been made the crown prince. There are still some days until the ceremony, and the imperial edict has been brought back!" Li Qiang confirmed with a smile.

Happiness came so suddenly that Jade couldn't accept it. She shook her head vigorously and tried to wake herself up.

"Your Highness, I'll do it right away!" Feicui responded. Just as he was about to leave, he thought of something and asked, "What are the arrangements for Miss Miaoyu, Miss Yunfei, Miss Zhujun and the other girls?"

"Ask them what they think. Those who want to live in the East Palace can go with them. Those who don't want to go can stay in this mansion!" Li Qiang waved his hand and said. He thought about it again and continued: "Let Miaoyu, Yunfei and When Mr. Zhu enters the East Palace together, he says it’s my order, and the others let them choose themselves!”

The reason why Li Qiang brought Miaoyu, Yunfei and Shengjun into the palace was because it would be very boring for Lin Daiyu to enter the palace alone. It would be much better with these three women accompanying her.

As for why these three girls were brought in, it was because these three girls were confirmed concubines. Lin Daiyu had already arranged this matter and took them in after the child was born.

As for the other women, it depends on their own ideas. Living in the East Palace almost puts the stamp of the East Palace on them.

Even if he wanted to get married in the future, who would dare to marry a woman living in the East Palace.

"Jin Dong, when you get back, I'll ask if my subordinates have been dismissed. What happened to the former subordinates of Prince Yi Zhong?" Li Qiang turned to Jin Dong and ordered.

"Master, according to the previous rules, your old subordinate officers will be assigned to the East Palace. I will inquire about the placement of other subordinate officials when I get back!" Jin Dong bowed and replied.

Although Li Qiang was talking, she never stopped.

He entered the Grand View Garden directly and walked towards Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

When they arrived at the gate of the Grand View Garden, twelve palace guards stayed at the gate, and only six eunuchs followed.

Except for the owner Li Qiang, no man enters the Grand View Garden normally.

This is the backyard of the mansion, where the master and his female family members live.

"The prince is here!" Xue Yan was at the door instructing the little maid. When he saw Li Qiang's figure from a distance, he hurriedly ran into the room and reported to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was chatting and laughing with the girls and was overjoyed to hear the news.

She stood up with difficulty and walked to the yard with Xue Yan supporting her.

"Sister Lin, I'm late!" Li Qiang couldn't help but blame herself when she saw Lin Daiyu's appearance.

Nowadays, Lin Daiyu is already very heavy and her movements are somewhat inconvenient. Counting the days, she will give birth in two months.

But on her most important day, she couldn't be by her side.

"The prince is busy with national affairs!" Lin Daiyu said with a chuckle.

As she spoke, she caressed her belly happily, and a maternal glow flashed across her face.

"Hey, who are they?" Lin Daiyu saw the six eunuchs standing behind Li Qiang and asked curiously.

Li Qiangke never brought eunuchs into the mansion here. All eunuchs stayed in Prince Yi Zhong's mansion.

"Congratulations to the Crown Princess, congratulations to the Crown Princess, our master is now the Crown Prince!" Jade smiled and stepped forward to salute Lin Daiyu.

"Why did you become the prince?" Lin Daiyu was also a little surprised. She looked at Li Qiang and asked.

"The third prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince committed suicide on their own, so the Supreme Emperor gave me the position of crown prince!" Li Qiang explained with a smile.

His explanation made Jin Dong and the other eunuchs lower their heads deeply. Only Li Qiang dared to say such words. Listening to these eunuchs, they felt as if their heads would leave their necks at any time.

"If you become the prince and I become the princess, then our child will be the grandson of the emperor!" Lin Daiyu accepted this matter easily, and her views were particularly strange.

"Yes, our child will be born as the grandson of the emperor!" Li Qiang would not say anything about the possibility of giving birth to a daughter. Lin Daiyu is pregnant now, so she will do everything to her.

"By the way, if you become the prince, will you live in the palace? What will happen to me and the child?" Lin Daiyu thought of something important and looked at Li Qiang and asked worriedly.

"Haha, you followed me into the palace!" Li Qiang never thought that such a smart Lin Daiyu would say such stupid things when she was pregnant.

This is probably what is called being pregnant for three years and being stupid for three years. Of course, he only dared to complain like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.

"We have to move again!" Lin Daiyu looked at her Xiaoxiang Pavilion and said with some reluctance.

She was very satisfied with the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Originally, she was reluctant to wait until the child was born to move to Prince Yi Zhong's palace, but this time she moved directly to the palace.

"There will be an independent bedroom for you in the East Palace, and Miaoyu, Yunfei and Zhujun will also move in!" Li Qiang explained with a smile.

"Can only the three of them enter the palace?" Lin Daiyu said disappointedly.

She also understood that if Li Qiang became the prince, it would be inevitable for her to enter the palace.

It's just that she is not satisfied with the fact that only three girls, Miaoyu, have entered the palace. All the sisters in the family have been playing together for so long, and she has long been accustomed to their company.

"The rest depends on their wishes, we can't force them!" Li Qiang continued.
