Chapter 129

Bai Zimo withdrew his gaze, and said slowly: "Your Highness the crown prince's noble body, how can you do such things in person, these things should be left to the servants to do."

"A small injury is nothing to worry about." Xuanyuan Cheng pressed the wound with one hand. This precious body has never been injured like this since childhood, and it is burnt, so it will definitely leave a scar.

But for the dignity of a man, it is impossible for him to tell the truth of the matter.

"The national teacher is here, but there is news about the Ninth Prince?" Xuanyuan Cheng asked casually.

"Not yet. The news that the Ninth Prince has returned to the Northwest has been spread everywhere in the city, and the city lords of each city are required to prepare to fight. Now, no one in the Northwest may be aware of this." Bai Zimo said slowly.

"It is true." Xuanyuan Cheng echoed, "In the opinion of the national teacher, the Ninth Prince will really throw himself into the trap?"

"What kind of bad situation has he never experienced? Please make arrangements earlier, Prince."

"Of course I know, what is Father still thinking about at this time? The situation in the northwest has long been under control, and the military power is all in the hands of Father's confidantes. I'm afraid that his nine princes will be able to stir up the entire Northwest. Is it the opposite? !"

Speaking of the things that made him extremely passive, he was a little depressed.

"The emperor has his own considerations." Bai Zimo didn't speculate too much.

"We can't attack the Ninth Prince openly, and we always suffer in the dark, but opportunities can be created, and we can always find an opportunity to deal with him openly and honestly." Xuanyuan Cheng smiled slightly, recalling the time before he left. The flirtation with the father.

Anyway, Emperor Father had already ordered that Xuanyuan Qing must die!
In his mind, he already had some plans.

"His Royal Highness! The Ninth Prince has arrived outside Muda City, and the city lord has gone to pick him up! I am here to ask my subordinates to report to the Prince." A notification suddenly came from outside.

Xuanyuan Cheng stood up immediately, "So fast, you can't even wait for one night!?"

Bai Zimo's eyes were dark and he didn't answer the words. I'm afraid that the Ninth Prince's eagerness was because of Qian Yue.

"General Chuancheng, come here." Xuanyuan Cheng ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes!" The people outside quickly retreated.

"Zimo will leave first." Bai Zimo stood up slowly, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Cheng.

"The national teacher does not have to avoid it."

"If the prince needs my help, tell him directly. As for other things, Zimo should not intervene. Resign." Bai Zimo walked out slowly.

In the Dayin Dynasty, the status of the national teacher has always been respected and favored, but he has always been on the sidelines when it comes to state affairs, so Bai Zimo will not set this precedent.

Cheng Siji was appointed by Xuanyuantian himself as the Great General of Hanbei, commanding all the troops in several cities in the northwest.

The Cheng family was related by marriage to the mother's family of the current empress, and according to seniority, the prince had to call Cheng Siji uncle.

However, the city lords of the several cities in the northwest are still the original city lords, native Northwesterners, who are in charge of the affairs of the area under the jurisdiction of the city, and the position of the city lord is also hereditary, passed down from generation to generation.

In the northwest, there are actually two forces, one is the powerful family, and the other is the city lords of the cities. Now, the cities are not in harmony.

But Cheng Family is the overlord of the northwest land, no one dares to be as famous as Cheng Family.

……

According to regulations, the gates of the city were not closed during the Xu period, and the city gates were not allowed to be opened privately without urgent matters.

But this time, it was the Ninth Prince who came, and the guards who guarded the city did not dare to delay, so they went to communicate.

Zhuo Da, the lord of Muda, came in person and greeted him respectfully with the same etiquette as the prince.

A mile away from the city, a group of people and horses could be seen vaguely. The leader was standing on the back of a horse in black fur.

It was too dark to see his expression clearly, but that upright figure had made everyone's eyes sore.

I heard that the Ninth Prince is unparalleled in style and beauty.This is a rumor that no one in the Northwest knows.

But no one has really seen the Ninth Prince.

Now, the Ninth Prince has actually come to Muda City, which is even more sensational than the Prince's arrival.

"Zhuo Da welcomes His Highness the Ninth Prince!"

Outside the city gate, Zhuo Da greeted him on his knees. He was over half a century old and had a fat body, secretly raised his head, and quietly looked at the Ninth Prince in front of him.

Xuanyuan turned over and dismounted, walked forward, stopped in front of Zhuo Da, leaned slightly, and helped Zhuo Da up.

"The city lord please rise."

Zhuo Da was flattered, and his voice trembled uncontrollably, "Many, thank you, Your Highness Ninth Prince."

"Back then, my mother told me that the city lord had injured his knees when he fell from a horse when he was young. In the future, he doesn't need to kneel like this." Xuanyuan Qing said slowly.

Zhuo Da finally raised his head uncontrollably, even though he had made all the mental preparations, but seeing this indescribably beautiful face, he still couldn't control his breath.

I saw the Ninth Prince with a calm expression. Although his face was a little too pale, he didn't look sickly weak. When he said this, he was like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years. He didn't show any deliberation. It warms the heart.

"His Royal Highness..." Zhuo Da choked up a little. It can be said that in those days, as long as they were men from the Northwest, no one would not have a little longing for the Queen.

Their Queen of the North Desert, a goddess-like existence, just disappeared in the Dayin Harem thousands of miles away.

How many memories can this sentence bring back?
In the cities in the northwest, the lords of the cities are quite honorable. Before the Queen succeeded to the throne, she was already famous throughout the entire Northern Desert.

They were still young at that time, and they would often go to the royal city together.

The queen is hospitable, and every time, she will treat them well.

At that time, I really thought that I could be carefree for a lifetime in this vast land in the northwest.

Horse races, bonfires, singing and dancing, and the frank and sincere queen...

Thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime away.

Zhuo Da came to his senses, and suddenly seemed to realize something. Back then, it was rumored that the Ninth Prince was born weak and might not live to be 20 years old. Now, counting the days, it is exactly [-] years old, right?

Once again, he carefully looked at the Ninth Prince in front of him.It was indeed very similar, especially the eyebrows, which seemed to be carved out of the same mold as the queen, but the face of the Ninth Prince was even more gorgeous, as if carved out of white jade, without any blemishes at all.

So, aren't those rumors all untrue? !
"Your Highness has been exhausted all the way, first enter the city to rest, and welcome His Highness into the city!" Zhuo Da raised his left hand to his chest, and then saluted Xuanyuan Cheng.

This is their northern desert etiquette, this is the greeting ceremony for the most honorable king.

Xuanyuan Qing stepped forward and headed towards the city, "I heard that His Royal Highness is also in the city."

"Yes, but don't worry, His Highness Ninth Prince, Zhuo Da has already arranged another residence for His Highness Ninth Prince." Zhuo Da said with a smile, he had already made arrangements in his heart.

The palace has been repaired for many years, it is just a decoration, otherwise, before the prince came, they had rebuilt it, and it was already a bit old.

Now that the Ninth Prince has come to Muda City, he naturally wants to treat him well.

"Don't bother, I believe the palace is enough for me to live with the prince." Xuanyuan Qing said suddenly.

Zhuo Da paused slightly, afraid that he had heard wrongly.

Two princes living in one palace?Such a thing is really unprecedented.

"Your Highness Ninth, I have another courtyard in the city. It was repaired just last year, and it is no worse than the palace. Your Highness Nine might as well rest in another courtyard temporarily, and you don't have to share a palace with your wife." In Zhuo Da's heart, there was still something Selfish.

Compared with the Ninth Prince, the Crown Prince is of course more inclined to the Ninth Prince.

"With Lao Zhuoda bothering, the palace will be fine." Xuanyuan Qing didn't hesitate at all.

"Yes." Zhuo Da didn't dare to persuade him any more, and followed closely behind.

Xuanyuan Qing came to the palace with ease.

The guards in front of the palace were all brought by the prince from the imperial capital, and more than half of them had seen the Ninth Prince.

They never thought that the city lord would invite the Ninth Prince to the palace.

Those who have seen the Ninth Prince are still in shock and have not recovered, and those who have not seen it are even more confused.

"You can't be polite when you see the Ninth Prince!" Suzaku shouted, and walked forward.

"See Your Highness the Ninth Prince." Only then did the crowd come to their senses, and they all knelt down to salute.

"Where does the prince live?" Xuanyuan Qing's voice sounded faintly.

"Go back to His Royal Highness Ninth Prince, His Royal Highness is staying in Dongzheng Palace." The guard tremblingly responded, not daring to lift his head.

"Suzaku, tidy up the Xizheng Palace." Xuanyuan Qing ordered softly, and walked towards the palace gate.

Zhuoda looked at the situation in front of him. In the cold winter night, he was sweating and followed closely.

The guards looked at each other, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.

"Quickly report to His Royal Highness."

Long before entering the city, Suzaku had sent people to investigate the terrain in the city, and he knew the layout of the palace relatively well, so he found the Xizheng Palace directly without anyone leading him.

Dayin's palace system is divided into east and west main palaces, plus the south courtyard and the north courtyard, and several side halls. The east palace is prepared for the emperor, the west palace is the place where the accompanying concubines live, the south courtyard is the place to collect houses and discuss government affairs, and the north courtyard It is the accompanying ministers and so on.

Xizheng Palace, of course, is not far behind.

Xuanyuan leaned slowly towards the main hall, Suzaku immediately ordered people to clean up everywhere.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, do you have any other orders? If there is anything I need, I will prepare it right away." Zhuo Da asked softly.Fortunately, when the palace was cleaned up, even the Xizheng Palace was cleaned up.

"It's getting late, you go back first, if you need anything, I will order someone to notify you." Xuanyuan Qing's plain voice sounded slowly.

"Yes." Zhuo Da stepped back.

Walking outside the hall, he turned around and told the people behind him: "You guys, stay and wait. By the way, prepare more charcoal fire. If the Ninth Prince needs anything, please let me know immediately!"

"Yes!"

Zhuo Da turned around slowly, glanced at the brightly lit palace, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, I heard that the Ninth Prince was married, why didn't he see the Ninth Concubine?
On the prince's side, the national teacher personally brought back an unidentified woman.

However, these things seem to be beyond his scope of concern.Next, he had to rack his brains to think about how to serve these two gods well.

He didn't understand why these two chose him, Muda city!
