Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 22 Mr. Bai returns to the palace
It's funny to say that.

Yuan Qingbai and Yuan Chunye were engaged, and the marriage was granted by Emperor Jing'an.

Before the engagement, the two had never met.

That's all.

Yuan Qingbai's elders had never seen Yuan Chun, including Emperor Jing'an, and Yuanchun's elders had also never seen Yuan Qingbai, except Jia Daihua.

This is one of the ancient ethics.

Today, the second day of November, is Yuan Qingbai's birthday, and it is also his first birthday after time travel.

Now, as a junior grandson living in the palace, and it is not his adult birthday or full birthday, this birthday will naturally not be a big event.

Fortunately, Emperor Jing'an liked him very much, and even his grandmother Yi Fei also liked him.

On his birthday, Emperor Jing'an and Concubine Yi both gave him gifts.

Emperor Jing'an even took him to have a meal with Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi is the biological mother of the third prince, and her surname is Wang.

The day after my birthday, the third day of November.

Because the third prince requested Emperor Jing'an, Yuan Qingbai would return to Prince Yiqin's Mansion that day, and the Prince's Mansion would celebrate his birthday. At the same time, people from Rongguo Mansion would come to visit the Prince's Mansion.

The third prince specifically requested that Yuan Qingbai return to the palace the day after his birthday, and specifically asked Yuan Qingbai to stay in the palace on his birthday so that Emperor Jing'an could celebrate Yuan Qingbai's birthday.

This is also a kind of scheming of the third prince.

Oh, despite his severe and mean character, he is known as the cold-faced king, but he is not a person without scheming intentions.

In terms of scheming, looking at the many princes of Emperor Jing'an, only the fifth prince can fight with the third prince.

Maybe the fifth prince is not as good as the cold-faced king in this area...

……

……

A carriage came out of the Shenwu Gate, the north gate of the palace.

The carriage was surrounded by a palace guard and many officers and soldiers.

The palace guard who followed him was named Zhao You. He was a second-class guard, a fourth-grade military attaché, and a martial arts scholar.

Many officers and soldiers came from the pro-military camp.

The palace guards and pro-military camps are mainly responsible for protecting the emperor and guarding the palace.

Among them, there are more than 600 palace guards and 2,000 pro-military camps.

The palace guards are all military attachés. The first-class guards are of the third rank, the second-class guards are of the fourth rank, and the third-class guards are of the fifth rank...

The pro-military camp is managed by the Guards Department. Like the palace guards, they are equivalent to the emperor's personal soldiers.

Emperor Jing'an was already concerned about Yuan Qingbai's safety.

Yuan Qingbai sabotaged the prince's rebellion, and may have been retaliated against, or may have been assassinated by other princes and grandsons...

Emperor Jing'an specially arranged a second-class guard and multiple pro-military camp officers and soldiers to protect Yuan Qingbai.

Although Emperor Jing'an knew that even if Yuan Qingbai was only twelve years old, with the physical strength and martial arts of the emperor's grandson, he would not be a match for several adults, and the Shenjing City had strict control over firearms, bows and crossbows.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

Emperor Jing'an felt more at ease as he was protected by guards and soldiers from the military camp.

At this time, Yuan Qingbai was sitting in the carriage.

There was another woman sitting with him. This woman was naturally beautiful and good-looking. She was Lingxue, his maid in Prince Yiqin's palace.

Ever since Yuan Qingbai followed Emperor Jing'an back to the capital city from Chengde, he had lived in the palace.

He did not forget the servants he had in Prince Yiqin's Mansion, including his uncle Su Zhidun, his cousin Su Yin, the eldest maid Lingxue, the rough maid...

Naturally, all inconveniences were brought into the palace.

I only brought one, and that was Lingxue.

Under the protection of the bodyguard Zhao You and the officers and soldiers of the pro-military camp, the carriage left the Shenwu Gate and walked through the bustling streets with rows of shops, dense crowds and busy traffic.

Yuan Qingbai looked out the window through the rolled up car curtain.

Thinking about his current status as a guard, plus his life experience after being raised by Emperor Jing'an...

At this moment, he felt more strongly that in this life, he was a phoenix son and grandson.

Like the countless people in the city outside the car window, the ordinary people are born in one world, but they live in two worlds. People are born unequal.

At this moment, he was once again grateful that he had a good tire in this life.

"Third Master, why are you so startled?" Lingxue, who was sitting next to him, asked softly.

"I'm thinking about something." Yuan Qingbai said.

"What's going on?" Lingxue was curious.

"What is life?" Yuan Qingbai smiled slightly.

Lingxue: "..."

……

……

The carriage meandered to Prince Yiqin's Mansion east of the Imperial Academy in Dongcheng.

There are soldiers guarding the gate of the palace.

Su Zhidun and Su Yin were waiting, as if they were waiting for a relative who had returned home in fine clothes and with great honors.

"Brother Bai."

Su Zhidun and Su Yin hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Yuan Qingbai happily while helping Yuan Qingbai get out of the carriage.

Soon, Chief Historian Lu Yanzhong led a group of housekeepers and servants to welcome Mr. Bai Sanye back to his home, who had now climbed the high branches of the emperor.

People from Rongguo Mansion have arrived, including Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zhu, and Yuanchun.

Yuan Qingbai entered the palace and took the lead to the residence of the third prince on Neifu Middle Road. He met the third prince, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu.

"The son greets his father."

Yuan Qingbai first bowed respectfully to the third prince, and then greeted Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu.

He has met Jia Daihua of the Jia family before, who died long ago in the original work.

The Jia Zhu we see now also died long ago in the original work.

He originally wanted to take a good look at the father and son Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu.

However, when he greeted the father and son, the third prince said: "Go to the princess's place and meet the old lady of Rong Mansion before returning here."

The third prince had just met Yuanchun with his own eyes.

He was satisfied with Yuanchun's appearance. As for his character, the short-lived side was naturally uncertain, but this side of Yuanchun at least left him with an impression of elegant behavior, and he was even more satisfied.

Although he himself is not greedy for beauty, he still hopes that Yuan Qingbai's future wife will have a good appearance and character.

Because Yuan Qingbai has suddenly become the most important son in his heart!
……

……

Yuan Qingbai came to the residence of Princess Xiahou again.

This place is more lively than the third prince's place.

There are the princess Xiahou, the side concubine Du, and the side concubine He.

There are Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang.

There are also a group of maids, wives and mothers-in-law...

Yuan Chun was originally there, but because it was inconvenient to see Yuan Qingbai, when she learned that Yuan Qingbai was coming, she hid in the inner room.

In fact, it's not really lively. There are just a lot of people, but the atmosphere is not very good.

Princess Xiahou is respected here, and Xiahou's dislike of Yuan Qingbai is even worse than before, and she is even more jealous.

Because Yuan Qingbai really climbed up the high branch of the saint.

Also because...

This autumn, Yuan Qingzhe hindered Yuan Qingbai in the competition. Afterwards, the third prince personally interrogated him and confessed that he did not want Yuan Qingbai to climb the high branches of the saint. He even confessed that Xiahou knew about it.

The third prince ordered someone to beat Yuan Qingzhe severely, and also reprimanded and warned the Xiahou family.

Now that the Holy Emperor has granted marriage to Yuan Qingbai, people from the Rongguo Mansion came to visit the palace. Although the Xiahou family did not dare not to meet Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Yuan Chun, they really could not pretend to have a good face or a good tone.

The atmosphere was naturally not very good.

In this not-so-good atmosphere, Yuan Qingbai came...
