reborn princess

Chapter 649
The emperor was silent for a while, and said quietly: "I have always liked that girl Rou'er, and I think you all know that I want her to be the crown princess. However, the crown princess can only be determined after a draft. big."

Xuan Chen said: "I have a plan, but I am a little disrespectful to the emperor!"

The emperor said bluntly: "Say!"

Xuan Chen said a plan in a deep voice, "The emperor can pretend to be sick, so that he can meet the envoy of Xidi Kingdom late, and then use the excuse of the emperor's joy to draft in advance!"

"Nonsense!" Xuan Yu scolded his son. "If the emperor claims to be sick, it will be a major event that shakes the foundation of the country!"

"No!" Shen Luo said. "This is a good strategy. Firstly, it can delay my meeting with the envoys of Xidi Kingdom and buy time. Second, it can let Rou'er enter the palace smoothly. Thirdly, it can test the great prince of Xidi Kingdom. If he can't help it and does something that shouldn't be done, it will be their fault. At that time, even if the Sidi Kingdom wants to send troops, there will be no excuse."

The emperor nodded slowly, "Very well, I will follow Brother Chen's idea!"

Since he came to the throne, the emperor has decreed that the harem is full and there is no need for a draft, so there has been no draft for several years.

However, because several princes are of the right age, and many royal children are of the right age, they are planning to start the draft in March next year.

At this point, it's okay to advance the draft time.

"The emperor..." Xuan Yu still frowned, not quite agreeing with the emperor's idea.

But the emperor waved his hand at him, with a gloomy expression on his face, "Don't stop me anymore, I also want to take this opportunity to see how many monsters and ghosts there are in this palace!"

Xuan Yu had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, leaning forward slightly, and the eunuch beside the emperor brought in Shen Weilan, Bailixue, Song Jiayin and Chen Xiaofu who were waiting at the door.

Everyone saluted the emperor respectfully. Song Jiayin and Chen Xiaofu entered the palace for the first time, and they didn't know the rules very well. They just looked at Shen Weilan and Bailixue, followed their example, and greeted the emperor.

Xuan Yirou, who had just been sent out, was also invited back.

The emperor didn't speak, just closed his eyes and rested his mind. The eunuch brought a cup of tea to the emperor. After a while, the empress dowager and empress were also invited over.

The queen supported the queen mother with a respectful expression.

As soon as she entered the door, the queen mother smiled and asked, "What's the big deal? The emperor wants to invite Ai's family to your imperial study?"

The emperor hurriedly stood up to welcome the queen, and helped the queen mother to sit on the upper seat, then sat back in his seat, and said: "It's not that the son wanted to disturb the queen mother, it's because what happened today involves a lot of troubles in the capital city. Among the daughters of several aristocratic families, I am a man, so it is inconvenient to interrogate, so I invited my mother and queen to come here, so as to uphold justice."

As he spoke, he recounted in detail what he had just heard from Xuan Yirou.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother and the Queen couldn't help frowning together. After a long time, the Queen Mother said: "This matter involves Princess Lingji of Xidi Kingdom. It is really difficult to handle!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a burst of crying from outside, and then a little eunuch came in to report, "Report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Empress Empress, Concubine Wen Gui is here!"

The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress looked at each other, and said, "Let her come in!"

The little eunuch turned around and went out, and after a while, he saw Concubine Wen Gui stumbled in from the outside, holding a handkerchief, crying with tears in her eyes, very charming.

After entering, she knelt down with a plop, looked at the three sitting behind the Longshu table with teary eyes, and said, "I beg the queen mother, the emperor, and the empress to make decisions for my concubine, my nephew Wen Xiao, by the emperor's grace, served as the head of a hundred households of the Yulin Army. Today, she was ordered to protect Princess Lingji of Xidi Kingdom to appreciate the scenery of our Canglan Dynasty, but she was beaten unreasonably by the prince of Changping County. Seriously injured, I am afraid that my life will be lost, and I beg the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Empress to give justice to my concubine and nephew!"

It turned out that Princess Wancui and Wen Lanxin saw that something was wrong, because Xuan Chen arrived in time, Wen Xiao was seriously injured, and Xuan Chen and others made it clear that they were going to go to the palace to file a complaint, so they made a decisive decision, entered the palace, and found Concubine Wen Gui, tell me what happened.

Concubine Wen Gui naturally looks towards her own nephew, especially Wen Xiao, who is her favorite nephew. She grew up in front of her and would go to the palace to pay her respects almost every month. What shameful thing does she have? , also sent Wen Xiao to help her. Hearing that Wen Xiao was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread, he immediately decided to come and seek justice for his nephew.

Shen Weilan and Xuan Yirou couldn't help but glanced at each other, they thought to themselves, this Concubine Wen Gui would really confuse right and wrong, she even skipped Princess Lingji's finding fault and fighting, and blamed Xuan Chen for everything.

The queen mother squinted her eyes in displeasure. She had just learned about the incident from the emperor. At this time, she heard that Concubine Wen Gui planted her nephew and grandson at once. Naturally, she was not happy, so she spoke to The queen said: "The Ai family is getting old, and I don't want to hurt my god, so I will leave this matter to the queen."

The queen heard the words and said, "Since the queen mother has an order, the concubines will follow the queen mother's order."

After all, she looked at Concubine Wen Gui, "Concubine Wen Gui, you said that the prince of Changping County beat Wen Xiao unreasonably. You are in the palace, so it is impossible to see it with your own eyes. So, who told you this?"

Concubine Wen Gui choked, sobbed and said in a low voice: "It was Princess Bancui and the concubine's niece Lan Xin who just entered the palace and told the concubine. There are also a few young ladies from aristocratic families who can also testify!"

"Okay, then you can bring all the people who told you this into the palace!" The queen stared at Concubine Wen Gui, bluntly planning to call people to confront her.

From the emotional point of view, no matter whether this matter is Xuan Chen's unreasonable beating or not, her heart is still on Xuan Chen's body. Who told her to be inseparable from the princess of Changping County?

Back in the day, when she was still the Ninth Prince Concubine, she was murdered by the Crown Princess at that time, causing her to have nothing to do. If the Princess of Changping County hadn't discovered the mystery and helped her, she would not be able to give birth to a prince now, and would not be able to sit on the throne. this seat.

Her natal family is weak. Over the years, she has been sitting firmly in the middle palace. Even concubine Wen Gui, who jumps up and down like a clown, can't do anything to her, and they all rely on the Changping County Prince's Mansion.

Therefore, even if today's situation is really unfavorable to Xuan Chen, she will think of a way.

"And that Princess Lingji, please come too!" The queen presided over the affairs of the palace, and she was not a cowardly and incompetent person, so she asked Concubine Wen Gui to call all the people involved in the case, and then she seemed to have amnesia , Forgot to let Concubine Wen Gui fall down.

Concubine Wen Gui had no choice but to ask someone to call Princess Bancui and Wen Lanxin.

These two people are still in her bedroom now, so it is easy to find, the eunuch who delivered the decree did not need to leave the palace, so he brought them here.

When Princess Wancui came in, she found that Concubine Wen Gui was still kneeling, and she couldn't help but "thump" in her heart, with an ominous premonition.

She and Wen Lanxin knelt down a little behind Concubine Wen Gui, and greeted the three people in the seat.

Only then did the queen speak: "Get up and answer!"

After kneeling for a long time, Concubine Wen Gui, whose legs were numb from kneeling, cursed the queen secretly, then stood up, but staggered a bit when she got up.

The queen selectively ignored the fragility and helplessness she showed at this moment, just took a bowl of tea handed over by the little eunuch, and then said: "The king of Changping and Mr. Shen have been standing for a long time. Is the emperor Should I also be given a seat?"

The emperor laughed, "Look at me, I forgot, come, give me a seat, and serve tea!"

Xuan Yu and Shen Luo each got a seat and a cup of tea.

After another half hour, the eunuch who was going to see Princess Xuanlingji enter the palace came in panting, "I would like to report to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and Empress Dowager, the servant was ordered to invite Princess Lingji to enter the palace, but Princess Lingji insisted I'm going to enter the palace with a whip, and I'm going to fight at the gate of the palace with the Imperial Forest Army guarding the gate!"

"What?" The emperor was immediately annoyed when he heard the words, and slapped the Longshu case hard. "It's really too presumptuous, Sun Mo, you go and bring me into the palace!"

"Yes!" There was an elderly eunuch next to the emperor. Hearing this, he hunched over and walked out tremblingly.

Seeing him walking slowly, Shen Weilan slightly raised her eyebrows, thinking in her heart, the old eunuch looked old and tired, as if he couldn't even walk well, but after careful observation, he could find that his footsteps landed on the ground At that time, it was light and silent, clearly a master.

It took about two cups of tea for this Eunuch Sun to go, when everyone heard Princess Lingji screaming from outside the imperial study room, "You dead eunuch, fake man with no roots, let go of me, Princess!"

Immediately afterwards, Eunuch Sun walked in with Princess Lingji under his arm, and threw Princess Lingji on the ground mercilessly.

It was miserable to see Princess Lingji, with red palm marks on both cheeks, Shen Weilan's two slaps were merciless.

Under Shen Luo's training, although she didn't develop the ability to smash a city wall with a single slap, she still has no problem breaking a brick with a single slap.

So Princess Lingji received these two slaps firmly, and it was not obvious when she just finished the slap, but now she is swollen, and she looks fatter.

In addition, Princess Lingji's clothes were also messed up, and the golden crown on her head, which looked very valuable, disappeared. Her short pale golden hair curled up on her head, and her miserable look She looked like an ugly old witch.

Eunuch Sun bowed to the emperor and said: "Report to the emperor, the servant has already invited Princess Lingji!"

"En!" The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and then said. "Rest aside!"

Eunuch Sun still stood behind the emperor, like an invisible person.
