Chapter 844, close up

  The empress dowager often recruits imperial concubines, princes, and princesses to talk to Cining Palace on the pretext of being sick. Among them, the most frequently summoned are the princes who work as errands in the dynasty.

In the Qianqing Palace, I heard that the eldest prince had gone to Cining Palace again. The emperor only gave a faint ‘um’, while Xiao Yeyang, who had come over to report the errand, silently lowered his head.

  After the death of Jiang Shizi and Jiang Jinghui, the queen mother and Cheng En Gong knew that the Jiang family was unable to cultivate a sensible little prince, so they set their sights on the adult prince again?

  There are still a lot of resources in the hands of the Jiang family, and I wonder if the princes can withstand the test?

  After reporting the errand, Xiao Yeyang left the palace, and when he was approaching the gate of the palace, he actually met the fourth prince.

  The four princes first greeted Xiao Yeyang: "I also want to go out of the palace, let's go together?"

  Xiao Yeyang glanced at the fourth prince, nodded in agreement, and asked casually as he walked to the palace gate, "I heard that you and the eldest prince went to see the queen mother in Cining Palace together, why are you coming out soon?"

The four princes looked at Xiao Yeyang and knew that he had come from the Palace of Qianqing. His heart said, the father really saw their visit to Cining Palace in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "I have never been happy with the queen mother. I went to Ci Ning Palace for the second time, and I came out after asking for peace."

  Xiao Yeyang nodded, and did not continue to ask more.

  The fourth prince hesitated for a moment, and tentatively said: "You have entered the palace, why don't you go to see the queen mother?"

  Xiao Yeyang raised his eyebrows to look at the Fourth Prince, and smiled: "The entire capital city knows the Queen Mother’s attitude towards me now, so why should I be boring?"

  Speaking, paused, and smiled meaningfully.

  "Furthermore, since the queen mother is ill, I think it is better for us to stop disturbing her elderly to recuperate."

Hearing this, the four princes moved their hearts. Seeing Xiao Yeyang speeding up, he didn't want to say any more, so he changed the subject with a smile: "You like to eat the dim sum Mosong sent by your younger brother and sister. When you go back, I thank my younger siblings."

  Xiao Yeyang: "Just a little snack, thank you no matter where you are."

  The last time I went to Four Seasons Villa, the family of the Four Princes was also in Tangyushan’s Zhuangzi. Daohua invited this family to the Villa as a guest. When he left, he brought a lot of food to Mofeng.

  As they spoke, the two had already left the palace gate. Xiao Yeyang swiftly said goodbye to the fourth prince, and then turned on his back and left.

  Looking at Xiao Yeyang's back in the distance, the fourth prince carefully recalled what he said just now, and immediately decided to go to Cining Palace with the eldest prince and the others for peace.

  The lantern fire on the Lantern Festival, although the investigation revealed that it was caused by the error of the palace staff, he instinctively felt that something was going on here.

  The more and more subtle relationship between the father and the queen mother, and the Jiang family, all faintly made him feel that something was wrong.

  Father is secretly paying attention to their going to please the Queen Mother, which shows that he cares.

  Maybe this is just a team.

  Father the emperor, or the Jiang family, he naturally chooses the former, even if he has ear problems and misses the throne, he can be valued, it is better than being marginalized.

  Not long after the four princes went out of the palace, the eldest prince and the fifth prince also went out of the palace one after another.

  The princes who do not want to be emperors are not good princes. If the adult princes who are officials in the dynasty say that they do not want to sit on the throne, it is estimated that there are only four princes suffering from ear problems.

The eldest prince and the fifth princes also wanted to win the favor of the queen dowager in order to get the support of the Jiang family, so as to improve their chances of ascending the throne. The Jiang family and the Queen Mother walked too close.

  The two also vaguely felt that the emperor was deliberately suppressing the Jiang family, so they put away their minds.

  Ping Xitang.

After Xiao Yeyang came back, he told Daohua about the eldest prince's visit to Cining Palace. Unless it was a confidential errand, he would tell Daohua about other things so that she could learn more about the situation outside. Be pitted.

   Daohua: "The queen mother and the Jiang family want to gather the prince, for their own use?"

  Xiao Yeyang especially liked the transparency of Daohua. He didn't need to explain many things, so she could understand what he wanted to express.

   "The Jiang family has always been very courageous. Their purpose is probably to pull the uncle Emperor down, and then push a prince who can control him to the top, just as the uncle Emperor continued to do."

   Daohua was curious: "You said, which prince does the queen dowager fancy?"

  Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "I can't see it now." He said, smiling at Daohua, "What do you think?"

Ina Huachu chin meditated and said: "Several princes of the upper dynasty have some power behind them. To be well controlled, you should definitely choose the weakest. The four princes are the worst of the princes, but he has ear problems. Exclude directly."

   "The remaining princes, second princes, third princes, and fifth princes are not bad in their mother clan. If I want to choose, I must choose the one who has the handle in my hand."

   said, looking at Xiao Yeyang.

   "How many princes, have they done anything particularly bad, the kind that will ruin their reputations once they are announced?"

  Xiao Yeyang's eyes narrowed: "I really don't know about this." With that, he touched his chin, maybe he should pay more attention to the princes afterwards.

  The first day of August is Daohua’s birthday.

  Because Xiao Yeyang had tossed till late at night before letting go of the rice flower, it was three poles in the day, and the rice flower slowly opened his eyes.

   Daohua rubbed her eyes and sat up, and saw Xiao Yeyang wearing a shirt, standing in front of the desk and holding a paintbrush while painting: "What are you doing in the morning?"

  Xiao Yeyang glanced at her with a smile, did not speak, and continued to concentrate on painting.

  Taohua got out of bed and put on her clothes. When she walked to the table, she saw a portrait of her sleeping face lying on the bed.

  Xiao Yeyang drew the last stroke and looked at Daohua: "Today is your eighteen-year-old birthday. I will draw your eighteen-year-old appearance. When you grow old in the future, I will watch it slowly with you."

   Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang slantingly, with a deep smile in her eyes: "Is it too unpretentious to paint a portrait of a sleeping face?"

  Xiao Yeyang smiled: "What are we going to do so solemnly when I saw it? I just rushed a little bit today, or I will draw me too."

  When Daohua heard this, she shook her head quickly: "Forget it."

  Xiao Yeyang: "Why, you don't want to paint with me?"

  Ina Flower: "Of course not. Co-painting in daily life is all right, but it can't be when you fall asleep."

  Xiao Yeyang laughed and said, "I said it, it's us."

  Inahana carefully blew the ink on the painting: "The portraits you painted for me, I have a good life to put away." She said, smiled, "I will show it to our children in the future."

  Xiao Yeyang hugged Daohua from behind and asked with a smile: "Why, do you want a baby? I think you like that little guy Mofeng."

  Ina Flower: "The child is so cute, I naturally like it, but I am about to give birth to a child, I am afraid I will not be able to take care of it." Her expression was a little worried.

  Xiao Yeyang was speechless: "There are nurses, maids, and women."

Daohua rolled his eyes back: "Please, the child is ours. Give it to the nanny and the maid. You are really capable. I can tell you in advance that we are going to have children. You have to spend time every day. accompany him."

  Xiao Yeyang quickly said, "I will definitely."

   Daohua talked about Zhou Jingwan again: "Jingwan is going to give birth this month, and I don’t know which day it will be? I haven’t prepared a gift yet."

Xiao Yeyang thought that every time he saw Yan Wentao in recent times, Yan Wentao would pull him and let him guess with him whether his first child was a son or a daughter. He also began to fantasize about him and Daohua’s children. .
