Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 716 The Return
The imperial decree has been issued, and the marriage between the eldest princess and Xie Junyan is completely settled.

It is inevitable to be busy for a while, and the Dianzhong Province has to prepare auspicious clothes for the princess and the son-in-law.

Most of the time, the eldest princess is in the palace, and occasionally goes out of the palace to her own princess mansion to see the progress of the mansion.

In the future, she and Xie Junyan will live in the Princess Mansion, if she wants, she can live in Xie Mansion.

Probably because the princess mansion is not far from Xie mansion, and occasionally, the eldest princess will meet Xie Junyan.

He hadn't been married before, so when they met, he didn't feel anything. The imperial decree had been issued, and when the eldest princess saw him again, she was always a little embarrassed.

The same is true for Xie Junyan. Although he doesn't spend much time with the eldest princess, he still has a good impression of the eldest princess.

"Jing An, is that Xie Junyan?" The little princess walked along the street with Jing An and Chang Xi, saw the two talking in front, and asked Jing An next to her.

He was also in court, so he naturally knew Xie Junyan, and the relationship between the two was said to be pretty good.

"It's him, that's the eldest princess, right?" Although the eldest princess was wearing men's clothing, seeing Xie Junyan's gentle expression when he spoke, she knew that the person in front of her was not a man.

Since it is not a man, the most likely one is the eldest princess.

"Okay, let's take a detour, so as not to embarrass them." Anyway, the eldest princess is a girl, so it's inevitable that she has a thin skin. When she knew it was her, the little princess smiled and said.

The three of them changed directions and walked towards the two roads. They made an appointment yesterday and went to the bookstall today.

The eldest princess and Xie Junyan didn't know that the meeting between the two was taken seriously by the little princess, but Li Tong was still there. Even though they were an unmarried couple, it was inappropriate to meet alone.

For this, Li Tong also expressed helplessness, feeling that he was an eyesore, but there was nothing he could do, who would let himself be the companion of the princess?

During the recent period, apart from being busy with the eldest princess' affairs, Concubine Hui was also busy with her affairs.

Obviously, they want her and the eldest princess to get married next year.

She is one year older than the Eldest Princess, and the Eldest Princess is married, so it is naturally impossible for her to stay with the Eldest Princess forever.

…………

In the palace, Su Qingning sat aside and watched the Emperor Chen play chess with the second prince.

Although the position of the crown prince has been decided, the second prince can still stay in the capital with the emperor's order.

He is still under 15 years old, so he doesn't have so many rules. Besides, if he has a heart for the crown prince, the current crown prince may not be a little princess.

When making the decision at the beginning, Emperor Chen took special care of his mind.

"This game, my son lost again." The second prince's chess skills are good, but he still can't succeed in front of the emperor.

"You are still young, in a few more years, I will no longer be your opponent." Looking at the situation on the chess game, Emperor Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine." Hong Jin came in from outside the hall, holding the medicine for the emperor, the emperor responded, took it and drank it down.

The second prince sat across from him. The second prince was already very clear about his condition, and his eyes flashed worry.

"Father, the Chinese New Year is about to come. Will the Eldest Prince come back?" The Eldest Prince is at the northwest border, and unless there is an imperial edict, he cannot come back.

"Well, I went to the letter. This year's Chinese New Year, I should make it in time. After Hui'er gets married next year, let him go back to the northwest border."

The Eldest Prince is very talented in leading troops and fighting. Although he has a fief, he prefers to stay at the border.

Gu Sheng occasionally wrote letters, and Shen Xiao also praised the eldest prince.

"It's been a long time since I saw Brother Dahuang, and I don't know if he and Erchen are still the same?" The two are twins, with the same appearance and height.

If it wasn't for people who were extremely familiar, it would be impossible to tell who was who.

"I think it's different. Your eldest brother has practiced in the military camp every day. I'm afraid he's got a lot of tan, and he's also a lot stronger. If you don't have the same body shape, you can be distinguished."

For the eldest son, Emperor Chen also missed him very much, he had already sent someone to send a letter, thinking that he could come back a few days before the coming year.

Concubine Hui wanted to arrange the eldest princess's wedding and choose a son-in-law for Li Tong. This year's New Year's Eve was all handled by Su Qingning.

There is nothing busy, this year is the same as usual, she wants to have a reunion year, a family reunion year, so there will be no palace banquet.

Everyone in the harem had no opinion on this, after all, it meant that they could go home for the New Year again.

At this time, the eldest prince was on his way back, probably because he had been away for a long time, so he was eager to return home and walked very quickly.

In at most ten days, they will be able to reach the capital.

With him, there is also Shen Xu. When the eldest prince comes back, it is not easy to throw him at the northwest border.

Knowing the news that the eldest prince is coming back, the children are very happy, especially the eldest princess, it is very happy to be able to have fun with her brothers and sisters before she gets married.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the eldest prince finally returned to the capital. Just as the emperor thought, he and the second prince could indeed be clearly distinguished.

In contrast, the first prince was a lot darker and stronger. The second prince had been in the palace all along. Although he insisted on practicing martial arts every day, he couldn't compare to the intensity of the first prince's training.

The children were all there, and the happiest thing was Su Qingning. She pulled the eldest princess and asked a few more questions.

The eldest prince's residence is still the same as in the past, it is cleaned every day, and after returning, he can rest immediately.

"Unexpectedly, the one who became the crown prince in the end turned out to be the little emperor's younger sister." After resting for two days, the eldest prince looked at the little princess and teased with a smile.

I always thought that the second prince would be the crown prince.

"Don't worry, I will hand everything over to the border gate in the future." Now, the northwest border gate is guarded by Shen Xiao, and in the future, he must be replaced.

The eldest prince has this talent, and he is the little princess's own brother. With him around, the little princess is of course very at ease.

"Brother Eldest Prince is here, so I'm naturally very relieved." The Eldest Prince will be the person who guards the border for her, the Second Prince will be her eyes, and the little princess's heart is indescribably ironic.

The children were chatting and laughing together, and it was very lively. Among them, only the eldest princess was engaged, so they all had to tease her.

It's also fortunate that the eldest princess is an older sister, so she can handle teasing from her younger siblings with ease.

"Speaking of which, I have something I want to ask you." After joking for a while, the eldest prince looked at the little princess with a serious expression.

"Brother Dahuang, just say what you want." Seeing his serious face, the little princess also became serious.

"Father's health, how is it now?" The eldest prince has long heard about the emperor's poor health.

It's just that I was at the northwest border before, and it was not easy to write a letter to ask, I was afraid that I would not be able to ask the truth.

Now that I'm back, I naturally have to inquire carefully to see what's going on.

Hearing the eldest prince's question, the little princess hesitated for a moment, "Father's physical condition is not particularly good, but the condition is under control and is considered stable."

　The health is not good recently, the update is not stable, thank you for your understanding.
