Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 42 Differences
In the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager was chatting with the Sixth Prince Xuanyuanqi with a smile on her face. Outside the palace, a palace official came in and reported to the Empress Dowager, "Report to the Empress Dowager, Princess Mingyu is here."

Princess Mingyu is the Empress Dowager's biological daughter. When she heard that she was here, the Empress Dowager's smile deepened. She ordered the palace servants to invite Princess Mingyu in.

After entering the palace, before Princess Mingyu could salute, the Empress Dowager excused her from saluting.

"Why are you free to enter the palace today?" In November last year, Princess Mingyu had just given birth to a daughter. When the queen mother came back, Princess Mingyu was unable to enter the palace immediately because of confinement.

During the Chinese New Year, because the child was still young, Princess Mingyu was worried, so she only entered the palace for a while, and then went back to the princess mansion.

Since the queen mother came back, she hasn't been able to have a good chat with her daughter.

"My son and minister are not filial. The queen mother has been back for a long time, but she has not been able to accompany her mother well. Seeing that I have free time today, I hurried into the palace."

Smiling and sitting beside the queen mother, Princess Mingyu looked towards Xuanyuanqi, "Why is the emperor still in the capital, shouldn't he go back to the fief?"

According to the regulations, the princes or princes who are going to the fief are not allowed to enter the capital unless they are ordered, that is to say, Xuanyuan Qi is the queen mother's son, otherwise, it is impossible for him to appear at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve this year.

He was the only one who returned to the capital during the Chinese New Year.

"You child, why did you drive him away the first time you saw your brother? It took a long time for Ai's family to see him once, so naturally they wanted to keep him for a while. Besides, it's not yet fifteen, so why worry?"

Before Xuanyuanqi could speak, the Empress Dowager's face sank. She looked at Princess Mingyu with a slight frown.

"Mother, the identity of the emperor's brother is here, and the rules of the ancestors are also here. By doing this, you are not embarrassing the emperor?"

For the Queen Mother's words, Princess Mingyu disagreed very much, she looked at the Queen Mother, and persuaded her softly.

Her words made the queen mother even more unhappy. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xuanyuanqi's voice, "Don't be angry, queen mother. The emperor's sister is right. The ancestor's rules are in place. After all, the son is just a prince, and he can only follow the rules of the emperor. When the regulations come, the ministers will go back to the fief tomorrow."

"What regulations are not regulated? If it wasn't for the beginning..." After speaking halfway, the Queen Mother stopped, she took a deep breath, and her tone eased, "Even if you leave, why rush to tomorrow? Leave the capital."

"As for the emperor, Aijia will go and say, you just need to stay with peace of mind."

After listening to the Queen Mother, Princess Mingyu wanted to say something, but seeing the Queen Mother's face, she swallowed her words after all. There are only a few days left before the fifteenth day, so it's better not to make the Queen Mother angry.

"My son listens to the queen mother." Xuanyuanqi said with a smile, and after talking to the queen mother, he turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Mingyu, "This time, brother Huang didn't think carefully, it won't be like this in the future, Mingyu won't Because of me, I'm unhappy with my mother."

When he said this, it made it difficult for Princess Mingyu to speak. She knew her emperor brother well. He has always been like this. A few words can block your way and make you speechless .

Don't look at them as brothers and sisters, but since she was a child, she has suffered a lot from the emperor's brother.

"Queen Mother, don't be angry, it's my son's fault, please forgive me, Queen Mother." Sighing inwardly, Princess Mingyu stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother.

After all, it is her own biological daughter, even if the queen mother is angry, it is only for a while.

"Get up, it's rare that you brothers and sisters are all here, let's have dinner with Ai's family together at noon." A smile appeared on her face again, the queen mother looked at the two brothers and sisters, and said with a smile.

"Yes, listen to the queen mother. The son and the emperor are together to eat with the queen mother. By the way, should we send someone to get the emperor up together? It's rare that the three of us are all here, so we can accompany the queen mother together."

Since childhood, the relationship between Princess Mingyu and Xuanyuan Ye has been better than that of Xuanyuan Qi. Although they are siblings from the same mother, she always feels that her sixth brother is not as easy to get along with as her fifth brother.

It was because of this that Princess Mingyu thought about Xuanyuan Ye in everything.

"The emperor is busy with court affairs, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to accompany us, so don't bother him." After Princess Mingyu finished speaking, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face faded a bit.

Seeing her like this, Princess Mingyu couldn't help but sighed, she didn't understand why the queen mother was always so indifferent to Brother Wu Huang, who was also the queen's child.

It was like this since childhood, brother five and brother six were sick at the same time, and the queen mother stayed by brother six all night, but didn't care about brother five.

At that time, it was the palace servants who stood by Brother Wuhuang's side.

When the crown prince was established, it was obvious that the fifth brother should be established, but the queen mother supported the sixth brother. If the father hadn't planned, the current emperor might not be his fifth brother.

Another example is today, the queen mother knew that it would be embarrassing for the sixth brother to stay, but she still insisted on letting him stay, and even she didn't want to have dinner with the fifth brother .

It's clearly not yet fifteen, Brother Wuhuang doesn't have anything to deal with, so why is the court affairs so busy?

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the emperor is here." You wanted to say a few more words, but when you heard the voice of the palace man's reply, Princess Mingyu was overjoyed, and turned her head to look at the entrance of the palace.

The Empress Dowager's voice came out with some reluctance, and the palace servants responded and invited the Emperor into the palace.

After entering the palace, Xuanyuanye saluted the queen mother, unlike Princess Mingyu, after watching him salute, the queen mother let him stand up.

Standing up, Xuanyuan Ye looked at Princess Mingyu who was saluting to him, and said with a smile, "When did Mingyu enter the palace? How are the children?"

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for your concern. The children are fine. If it wasn't too cold, Younger Sister would have brought them into the palace."

Princess Mingyu has two children, the older is a boy, and the younger is a daughter who was born last November.

"Wait until it's warmer and drink it before bringing it into the palace, so as not to freeze." Sitting on the chair, Xuanyuan Ye chatted with Princess Mingyu for a few more words, and then looked at Xuanyuan Qi who was sitting opposite, who was sitting on the chair On, did not get up to salute.

Regarding this, Xuanyuan Ye's expression didn't change at all, he seemed to be used to it for a long time.

Before he could speak to Xuanyuan Qi, he heard the Queen Mother's voice, "The emperor just came, and the Ai family has something to tell you."

Hearing the Queen Mother's voice, Xuanyuan Ye turned his head and looked towards the Queen Mother, "Please tell me, Queen Mother."

"It's rare for the Ai family to meet Qi'er, and they want to keep him in the capital for a few more days, and then go back to the fief after the fifteenth day." The Queen Mother's words did not mean any discussion, but rather an order, Princess Mingyu Frowning slightly, he wanted to say something.

"If that's the case, then let the sixth emperor stay in Beijing for a while longer." The emperor's voice came, with his usual gentleness, he looked at the queen mother, and followed her words.
