Chapter 78

the capital.royal palace.

The furnishings in Chengqian Palace have not changed at all, and the painting table in the quiet room is still the same as before, and even her makeup box is exactly the same as the day she left.If there is anything different, only the plaque of the palace has changed.

It is no longer Chengqian Palace, but Wanyue Palace.

The palace people knelt on the ground and saluted.

"The servant pays homage to the Eldest Princess."

At this time, a figure sprang out from the side and rushed to Qi Guang.

Jiang Dezhong wiped away his tears and snot.

"Your Majesty, I have been looking forward to you for a long time! I have been looking forward to you day and night, hoping that His Majesty will take you away, but I have been looking forward to it for a year, and there is no news from Your Majesty. Until a few days ago, that..." He gritted his teeth He seemed to want to say something, but when he saw the gloomy eyes of the palace people around him, he held back again, and changed his words: "New... the new emperor asked someone to pick up the slave and come back. At first, the slave thought that the new emperor was trying to play some trick again. did not expect……"

Having said that, Jiang Dezhong wiped away his tears again.

"It's hard! After going around for a while, His Majesty was still arrested."

Qi Guang patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is the fate." After a pause, she said again: "I am no longer Your Majesty, Jiang Dezhong, you should call me...Eldest Princess."

She couldn't guess what Qi Xuan was planning at first, but judging from the current situation, he didn't intend to kill her.

Jiang Dezhong only felt sad, and after calling out "Elder Princess", his eyes were wet.

After not seeing His Majesty for a year, Your Majesty has lost a lot of weight?No, Jiang Dezhong's eyes widened. His Majesty did not lose weight at all. On the contrary, he became much plumper, with a ruddy complexion and a high spirit. He had never seen such a Majesty in the palace.

Jiang Dezhong asked: "Your Majesty...cough, where has the eldest princess been this year?"

Qi Guang smiled and said: "I have been to many places, and I also gave birth to a little girl named Wan Wan. I will let you meet later. As for other things, there are too many, and I will talk about it later." tell you."

Qi Guang's eyes darkened slightly.

She looked at the palace servant who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "Everyone, get up and talk."

The palace people responded tremblingly.

After Qi Xuan came to the throne, he directly replaced most of the palace people, and almost none of the people who served Qi Guang stayed in the palace.Now the palace people in Wanyue Palace are all from Qi Xuan's palace before, and they all know about the things between Qi Guang and Qi Xuan.

When they were in the palace, they had already heard that Qi Guang was moody.Now that her throne has been taken away, and she has been arrested all the way back, she must not be in a good mood. They, the current people, can only be used as punching bags.

The palace people lowered their eyelids one after another, not daring to take a breath.

Unexpectedly, Qi Guang said kindly: "I won't embarrass you, I've been traveling for many days, and I'm a little tired, so go prepare hot water. If the emperor comes, you can let him come back tomorrow. If you want to hold a cleansing banquet , and leave it until tomorrow, I'm tired."

As if thinking of something, Qi Guang said again: "Let the emperor find the nanny who took care of us before."

Qi Guang yawned.

"Let's all go back."

The palace people responded quickly, they really did not expect Qi Guang to be so kind.It was Jiang Dezhong who was furious, he said: "Your Highness, are you... not angry?"

Qi Guang smiled and said, "There's nothing to be angry about. I didn't want to be an emperor in the first place. Along the way, Da Zhou is more prosperous than before. My younger brother is indeed more suitable than me to be an emperor. It's good that I am like this."

After speaking, Qi Guang looked out of the window, and then said with a smile, "I'll take you to see my daughter."

The sound is getting smaller and smaller.

The black shadow lying outside the window left quietly. "She really said that?"

Qi Xuan put down the memorial and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I can hear you clearly. I heard from Master Zhou that Her Royal Highness the Princess is always kind and friendly all the way from Xiang County to the capital. It was the same in Wanyue Palace just now, and she only cared about her daughter."

The person who answered Qi Xuan's name was Bai Xing, and he was one of Qi Xuan's confidantes.

Then Bai Xing told Qi Xuan exactly what Qi Guang had said. In the end, Bai Xing complained a bit, and he said: "Princess...it seems that she doesn't take Your Majesty seriously. Your Majesty is the one who decides, and it should be your Majesty who decides whether to hold the cleansing banquet or not."

Qi Xuan didn't care.

He said: "Her temperament has always been like this." If she really becomes trembling and puts him first in everything, he will be worried that she has other plans.Qi Xuan showed a slight smile and said: "Since the eldest princess is tired, the dust-cleaning banquet will be postponed until tomorrow. Today, there is no order from the widow, and no one is allowed to approach the Moon Palace." Early the next morning, before the rooster crowed, Qi Guang got up.

It's been a long time since she went to bed in the palace, and now that she's back, she's not used to sleeping, especially at night when she turns around and doesn't see Lu Li, it's even more difficult for her to fall asleep.Now Qi Guang somewhat understands why Lu Li relied on sleeplessness to fall asleep in the first place.

In the long night, without a caring pillow by my side, it is really difficult to sleep alone.

But Xiao Wanwan slept soundly.

Qi Guang looked at Wan Wan in the cradle, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.She called the palace servants to bring in water, but she didn't ask the palace servants to help her with dressing. During the year outside the palace, Qi Guang also learned to tie his hair.But after she reconciled with Lu Li, what Wan sent was the joy of their boudoir.

Haven't touched it for a long time, slightly unfamiliar.

Qi Guang groped for a while, and after about a stick of incense, Fang Wan finished her bun.

At this time, a palace official said outside: "Princess, Your Majesty is here."

Qi Guang paused his hand slightly, and said calmly, "I see." After a while, Qi Guang fully dressed and left the dormitory.Before leaving, she called Jiang Dezhong to take a good look at Wan Wan.

Qi Xuan was wearing court clothes and sitting on the main seat, while the palace servants beside him were serving tea.

When he saw Qi Guang, he smiled slightly and said, "Sister, you're awake."

Qi Guang said: "I've been away for a year, and now I'm in the palace, so it's inevitable that I'm not used to going to bed." She didn't salute, she just picked a chair and sat down, and the palace servants at the side offered a glass of Yuqian Longjing.

Qi Xuan said with a smile: "If you're not used to it, you can get used to it after a few days of sleep."

Qi Guang said, "Really?"

The conversation between the two was extremely calm, as if the conspiracy a year ago had never happened.Qi Xuan said again: "When the widow goes to court today, I will announce to the public that I recognize you as my sister-in-law, and I will use your previous name and give you the title of Princess Pingyue."

Qi Guang said calmly: "Alright."

Qi Xuan added: "Tonight's cleansing feast has been prepared by the Ministry of Rites."

"I'll be there," she said.

Qi Xuan said with a smile: "The widow is waiting for sister in the imperial garden tonight."

"it is good."

After that, Qi Xuan didn't say any more, and after drinking the Yuqian Longjing in his teacup, he got up and left Wanyue Palace.From the beginning to the end, Qi Xuan never mentioned Lu Li, let alone Wan Wan.

Qi Guang drank his tea slowly.

She was lost in thought.There are a lot of clothes in her cage, and they have never been moved by anyone, even the court clothes that she used to go to court as the emperor.It's just that after she gave birth to Wan Wan, she became plump a lot, and the clothes in the cage couldn't fit anymore.

As if there was a tacit understanding, in the evening, a servant sent a set of clothes.

The blue color, the fine Sichuan brocade, and the pattern of blooming flowers outlined in gold jacquard are the most fashionable chest-length skirts in the capital.Qi Guang was taken aback by such a gorgeous attire.

She asked, "Who sent the clothes?"

The servant said: "The words back to the princess were sent by Mr. Zhou."

Qi Guang didn't make a sound, and let the servants of Wanyue Palace accept it.Afterwards, she asked people to rummage through the box, and finally found a chest-length skirt, which was quite plain in color, and it was the skirt that Qi Guang often wore when he went out of the palace.

Qi Guang was a little tight after putting it on, and her breasts had grown a lot after giving birth, and she looked extraordinarily magnificent under the breast-length Confucian skirt.

Then she called all the maids in Wanyue Palace, looked carefully and carefully, and finally chose the maid who was almost the same size as her, and said, "What's your name?"

"The servant girl is called Biju."

Qi Guang smiled and said: "Tonight, you will accompany me to attend the cleansing banquet, and the rest will leave." The cleansing banquet organized by Qi Xuan only invited a dozen people, all of whom were young talents from the court, all of them were handsome , Standing together is like a painting.These young talents were all promoted by Qi Xuan later, so it can be said that they are born out of blue.

Zhou Muqing was Qi Xuan's favorite, and the seat was very close to Qi Xuan's.

As the emperor, Qi Xuan naturally did not arrive so soon.

The first to arrive was Zhou Muqing and a group of courtiers. They chatted happily in private, and they were quite harmonious.Zhou Muqing did not participate in the conversation, he sat on the seat and drank in silence.

until the servant shouted—

"Princess Pingyue arrived—"

He just came back to his senses, raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes were burning.

Qi Guang walked to his seat with a smile on his face, and when he saw Zhou Muqing, his expression was the same as usual.On the contrary, Zhou Muqing's complexion changed drastically, he stared at Biju closely, his gaze was as cold as the winter in the twelfth lunar month.
