Chapter 360 Returning to the Palace
On April 26, the court affairs, which had been suspended for nearly a decade, returned to normal. On the first day of the court, countless courtiers impeached King Rui. pile.

"Your Highness, this..."

Seeing that Chu Yuan had read a few books, he beckoned to the servants to clean up these memorials. Gu Dahai asked aloud without understanding.

"Send it to Rui'an Palace, let King Rui take a look, don't always think that everyone else is a fool, he is the only one who is smart."

Chu Yuan made a rare joke in front of the palace people.

Although there might be troubles in the future, but after all, the big thing is over, Chu Yuan felt relaxed.

After instructing the palace servants, Gu Dahai went and returned, "Your Highness, King Yong asks to see you."

After King Rui left yesterday, King Yong was dawdling, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

In today's morning court, although some people questioned King Yong, compared with the impeachment of King Rui, those who rushed to King Yong seemed insignificant, and King Yao returned to the palace in the past few days. Thinking about it, King Yong was also I'm a little timid.

"Tell him, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when the king comes back."

Chu Yuan waved his hand, lowered his head and looked at the memorial in his hand again.

Three days later, news came from the palace that King Yao's guard of honor had set off.

King Yao was ill, so he tried his best to drive smoothly. The distance that could be covered in one day might take two days.

In Shangyang City, although the teahouses and restaurants were unaware of the chaotic discussions of the previous few days, everything was in order, and it was comforting to see.

Concubine Han is in charge of the palace. Although the situation in Shouchang Palace is constant, the rest of the palace is safe and sound, which can make people feel at ease.

In the Hall of Xuanyi, Fang Ruxuan told Ding Xiang, "In the next few days, call Yuqing back. Xinlan is not here, and it would be boring to let her stay in Lianqiu Pavilion alone."

When Xinlan and Luwu entered the East Palace, Fang Ruxuan arranged someone next to them, and Yuqing was the one beside Xinlan.

The maid next to Luwu didn't know whether she had benefited from Luwu, or she was sure that with Luwu's good looks, she would serve as a servant in a short time, and after a few months, she turned to really plan for Luwu, and the other party Ruxuan As far as it is concerned, it is equivalent to a waste chess, Fang Ruxuan decisively discarded it.

Now, naturally there is no reason to recall.

Before lunch, Chu Yuan came back from the imperial study, went to Nuan Pavilion to look at Mingzhu, and then came back, and asked Fang Ruxuan for advice: "Mingzhu's full moon ceremony has been delayed, wait for the father and the others to come back, do you want to pick a day to start again?" Do it again?"

Fang Ruxuan shook her head with a smile, "The days are over, let's forget it. Besides, when the father comes back, maybe it will not be as peaceful as it is now, and one more thing is worse than one less thing."

King Rui's rebellion, King Yong's sway, and Queen Mother Lou and Queen Zhou's respective schemes, these King Yao must have known it well in his heart. When he comes back this time, old accounts and new accounts will be settled together. It is a headache to think about. At that time, who would care about giving a baby a full moon?
Knowing that Chu Yuan wanted to make up for Mingzhu, Fang Ruxuan said with a smile: "When it's one year old, just do it like Brother Ming, let's forget about the full moon gift."

Sure enough, Chu Yuan's face was filled with self-blame, "I always said to give her the best, but now, I feel so wronged."

How can a child who is only over a month old understand this?It was clearly Chu Yuan who cared about his daughter.

Fang Ruxuan laughed, but felt warm in her heart.

At sunset on April [-], the mighty chariots and horses drove into the palace from Donghuamen, and King Yao's chariots did not stop until they reached Qian'an Hall.

Under the scorching gazes of everyone, King Yao slowly got off the carriage and entered Qian'an Hall.

Although the pace was slow, and the whole person looked a little older, it was still much better than what everyone had guessed before.

Queen Zhou and Concubine Fang followed closely behind, but after entering for a while, they went back to Fengming Palace and Lanyue Pavilion respectively.

After that, Madam Su went to visit on behalf of the Empress Dowager Lou, but Li Sheng also blocked her from the gate of the palace.

That night, Li Sheng went to Rui'an Palace to pass the order, and King Xuanrui had an audience.

No one knew what King Yao and King Rui had said. At that time, in the East Side Hall of Rui'an Palace, Princess Rui was screaming hoarsely on the delivery bed.

When she heard the news, Concubine Jing was still banned from leaving Chongxi Palace, and Queen Zhou had just returned to Fengming Palace, so Concubine Han had to go to Rui'an Palace in person. The king is still King Rui, and Princess Rui is still a first-rank princess.

When Fang Ruxuan arrived, Concubine Han sat in the main hall calmly drinking tea, and when she saw Fang Ruxuan coming, she waved to her in a good mood, "Come on, this is the tea I brought from Changle Palace. The Yuqian Longjing that was just sent to the palace a few days ago is extremely fragrant..."

The teas made before and after Qingming often have very different tastes, even though they are separated by a few days.

After making it, it will be sent to the palace quickly, probably in the next few days.

But now at such a time, Fang Ruxuan really admired Concubine Han Guifei's ability to calm down and drink tea.

As soon as she was seated, Gu Qiu served tea, Fang Ruxuan took a few sips, and then praised her endlessly, and Concubine Han smiled even more.

The shouts in the East Side Hall seemed less disturbing.

"My concubine thinks, how will the father deal with King Yong and King Rui?"

Fang Ruxuan asked in a chatty manner.

Concubine Han Gui smiled, looked at Fang Ruxuan jokingly and said, "Didn't the crown prince tell you?"

Fang Ruxuan shook her head, "I reckon, Your Highness knows something in his heart, but everything is inconclusive, so he didn't say it out loud."

"A man should be like this..."

With a soft compliment, Concubine Han glanced at the chaotic courtyard, and said softly: "King Rui is a little impatient after all, he can wait for the king to go to the funeral, and then do this matter. However, by then, the prince will be fine. Regardless of King Yong, it is inevitable for brothers to fight against each other, and the loss of life cannot be ignored, so I have to say that this has a lot to do with the king's secret connivance."

"Father did this on purpose."

Speaking as if drawing conclusions, Fang Ruxuan probably had a guess in her heart.

Concubine Han nodded, "As I said that day, His Majesty is the one who stands at the highest place and has the most insightful thoughts. Inside and outside the palace, he knows every move in his heart, and it is precisely because of this that he does not I would like to see all of this happen. And the appearance of the prince is an anomaly among them."

Seeing that Fang Ruxuan was puzzled, Concubine Han Guifei asked her with a smile, "If the crown prince is still in Da Yuan as a hostage and has not returned to Yao country, among the current princes, who do you think is most likely to aspire to the throne?"

King Yong?He is hesitant by nature, and he is not decisive enough in doing things. When he swings from side to side, he misses the best time for things, which is the biggest taboo of the superior.

King Xuan, it is deep enough, but I still feel that something is missing.

All in all, although King Rui has a lot of shortcomings, comparatively speaking, if Chu Yuan is not around, he is more suitable to be the heir apparent, or the future King Yao.

Fang Ruxuan said her thoughts, and Concubine Han smiled noncommittally: "Actually, I don't know either. But, it will definitely not be King Yong, King Xuan or King Rui."

Fang Ruxuan looked surprised, Han Guifei explained: "It is a good thing to be good at hiding one's clumsiness, but showing one's sharpness is the biggest shortcoming. If King Rui ascends the throne, Yao Kingdom will definitely develop too fast in the next few years, but after that, it will develop rapidly. Going to failure, this is not what the king wants to see. Moreover, with the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Lin'an here, the king will not hand over the world to King Rui at all."

No king wishes to have a powerful mother clan standing behind him, a mother clan who can control him.

Although the Marquis of Lin'an might not be strong enough to control King Rui, for King Yao, from the day King Rui chose the Marquis of Lin'an, he had missed the throne.

However, this is all on the premise that Chu Yuan is already the crown prince. Thinking about it, after King Yao chose Chu Yuan as the crown prince, he never considered King Rui again.

"That being the case, why did the king choose His Highness?"

If King Yao really cared about the Marquis of Lin'an, then the mutual benefit between Chu Yuan and Concubine Han would not have made the Han family the ones standing behind Chu Yuan, Fang Ruxuan felt a little confused.

Concubine Han smiled softly, "Whether it's the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion or the Lin'an Marquis Mansion, they have always supported and supported King Yong and King Rui with a clear-cut banner. Treat the prince like this?"

Fang Ruxuan thought about it carefully, only to realize that there really didn't seem to be any.

Even though Chu Yuan and Concubine Han had the same idea that day, they wanted to rely on each other to go further and more steadily, but since Chu Yuan returned to Yao Kingdom, the members of the Han clan seemed to be hiding all the time. He did not oppose those who did not support Chu Yuan in the court, nor did he exclude those who had objections to Chu Yuan in the military camp.

Their every move seems to always be with Yao Wang as the top priority.

"So, neither King Yong nor King Rui will be considered by the king. The king has a long-term vision and will not allow any family to become bigger and let them become the veritable lords of different surnames in Yao Kingdom. "

Han Guifei said with a final word.

In Fang Ruxuan's heart, something gradually became clear.

The footsteps in the courtyard became more and more flustered, but Princess Rui's cry of pain gradually became subdued. After an unknown period of time, a baby's loud cry came from the delivery room.

After a cup of tea, a midwife came over with a happy face and replied, "Go back to the imperial concubine, the crown prince, and Princess Rui gave birth to a little prince."

As she spoke, she seemed to feel that she had made a slip of the tongue, and the midwife's face was blushing, which was quite embarrassing.

Although King Rui's rebellious act has not yet been determined, it is not a good thing after all. If the title of prince is removed, the child born to Princess Rui will not be regarded as a child of the royal family.

Seemingly unaware of the embarrassment of the midwife, Concubine Han smiled and said "All are rewarded", then turned her head and told Gu Yu to go to Qian'an Palace to report.
