Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 607 I call you the master

  The eldest princess Qinghe sighed slightly, nodded at the eunuch, and said, "This palace understands, I changed my clothes and went to the palace to meet your majesty."

   The **** hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The servant girl is here waiting for you to enter the palace with you."

   The nine princesses frowned slightly: "Why, are you afraid that Ben Gong will run away?"

   The eunuch's face changed greatly, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "My servant does not dare, but your majesty ordered me to discuss it with your highness in a hurry, so the servant wanted to take your highness directly into the palace, which would be more convenient."

   The eldest princess frowned and said, "There is nothing inconvenient. This palace needs to dress up and change into a formal attire to be able to face you. Father-in-law should go back first."

Ordinary ministers may not dare to refuse the meaning of the eunuchs in the palace, especially the eunuchs who came to pass the imperial decree. After all, no one knows whether it is the meaning of His Majesty the emperor, and these eunuchs are the emperor's close ministers. These outsiders are very close, and the ministers are inevitably a little bit afraid, and they have always been polite to these eunuchs.

   But the eldest princess doesn't need it. She is the princess of the Tian family. In theory, these eunuchs are her family's slaves, at least her parents' slaves. Besides, the emperor is her elder brother, so she doesn't need to be polite to these eunuchs.

   The eunuch's face turned pale, and he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes, this servant will retire first."

   After he finished speaking, he turned back, stepped into the sedan chair, and left the Marquis of Jing'an.

   After the **** left, the eldest princess turned her head to look at Yu Linwei who came to deliver the letter, with a smile on her face: "Could you still bring me a message?"

   She knew in her heart that the people who could be sent back by her husband to deliver letters to her home were absolute confidants, so she was quite polite in her words.

  Deng Feng bowed his head deeply and said respectfully: "Back to the eldest princess, Lord Hou also told the humble officer to let the eldest princess wait at home with peace of mind these few days, and try not to let the family go out."

   "Master Hou said that everything will wait for him to return to Beijing..."

   The eldest princess nodded with a complicated expression and said, "I see."

   "Brother Deng has been busy all the way, and it's hard work. Go and rest."

  Deng Feng bowed deeply and said solemnly, "Retire from my humble position."

   After saying that, he also turned and left.

   Her Royal Highness Princess felt a little depressed.

Since a few months ago, the royal brother called her into the palace and said that he would bring Zhong Xiaoxiao into the palace and make her a princess, she had been keenly aware that something was not right, although she had no way to inform Li about it. Letter, but for a few months, she has been pressing down in her heart and has not forgotten it.

   Now, her husband returned to Beijing triumphantly, but a message came back to tell her family not to go out, which made her feel that something was not right.

Thinking of this, the eldest princess turned back and squatted down, stretched out and took Zhong Xiaoxiao's little hand, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, you are staying at home these few days, no matter who asked you to go out, you should not go out, I understand. Is it?"

  Xiaoxiao has always been a very disciplined person, so she nodded obediently when she heard the words.

   "Got it, Sister-in-law."

Only then did the eldest princess stand up, with a solemn expression on her face, and turned to the maid behind her and said, "Cui'er, change my clothes."

  Tui'er bowed her head and said, "Yes."

  …

   When it was near noon, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess entered the palace slowly. Under the guidance of several eunuchs, she came to Weiyang Palace to wait for the decree.

   It is worth mentioning that the center of the palace has been completely transferred from the Changle Palace of the Chengde Dynasty to the Weiyang Palace. The former Changle Palace no longer has the prosperity of the Chengde Dynasty.

   When it was almost noon, a **** walked up to the eldest princess and kowtowed: "His Royal Highness, your majesty is waiting for you in the side hall, please come in."

  The eldest princess stood up from the seat, glanced at the eunuch, and said slowly: "Lead the way."

   Not long after, they arrived at the side hall of Weiyang Palace, which is also the place where Emperor Taikang ate.

   At this time, the emperor was sitting at a table full of food.

   After the nine princesses entered the side hall, she said a thousand blessings to the emperor.

   "I have seen Your Majesty."

  The emperor was in a trance at first, when he heard the words, he was shocked. Then he looked up at his sister and smiled: "Why haven't we seen you for a while, and have so many births, so you don't even call an emperor brother?"

   "Come and sit down."

  The eldest princess did not sit over, but said with a smile: "Before, the younger sister did not understand the rules. The mother and queen told the younger sister a few days ago, and asked the younger sister to call her majesty."

   Said, she glanced at the table in front of the emperor, and said softly: "The younger sister does not dare to share the table with the emperor."

  The emperor usually has his own table and has to eat "alone".

   Emperor Taikang waved nonchalantly.

   "What are the rules and regulations, you are the sister-in-law of one of my mother's compatriots, and you are a family at all times. If you are asked to come and sit, you will come and sit."

In desperation, the eldest princess could only sit down on the right side of the emperor, then looked down at the food on the table, and smiled: "I heard that the emperor has become more frugal after he ascended the throne, and only eats four dishes at a time, how can I have an appetite today? so good?"

   The emperor laughed.

   "One is that the country is going well, the southwest has been settled, I am happy, and the other is that Xiao Jiu, you are coming, I specially ordered the royal chef to make a few more dishes."

   "It's all what you used to like to eat."

   Said, the emperor pointed to a plate of meat skewers on the table, and said with a smile: "There are a few in the royal kitchen that I brought from the Wei Palace, and I asked them to grill some meat skewers for you."

  The eldest princess felt warm in her heart and bowed her head: "Thank you, Brother Huang."

  The emperor smiled and said: "You, before you got married, you were not so polite. You can eat whatever you want in Wei Wang's mansion, and you can take whatever you like, like a little bully."

   Nine princesses looked sullen and a little embarrassed.

   "At that time, the younger sister was young and ignorant..."

  The two brothers and sisters chatted for a while, and then the emperor returned to the topic and said with a smile: "I called you over in such a hurry, I actually wanted to give you a surprise."

   As he spoke, he took out an official document from his sleeve and handed it to the Nine Princesses.

   "This is the official document I just received this morning. I know you miss someone, and as soon as I receive it, someone will call you into the palace."

   Princess Jiu knew in her heart that this official document was the news that Li Xin was about to return to Beijing.

   She didn't open it and said with a smile, "Is it the news that Chang'an is coming back?"

  The emperor said in surprise: "How did you know?"

  The nine princesses covered their mouths and smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, my sister also received a letter from Chang'an in the morning, saying that he will be back in a few days."

  If Emperor Taikang was very concerned about Li Xin's side, then Li Xin's sending people back would not be able to hide from him, so the nine princesses simply told the truth and did not hide this matter.

  The emperor put the official document aside and smiled: "It seems that Chang'an still misses you, and sent a message to you and the court at the same time."

   "He doesn't miss me."

   The nine princesses snorted softly and said, "Not long after they got married, they went out to fight. It took a year or two to go. If he cared about me at all, he would not go to the southwest."

   "It is inevitable to fight for the country."

  The emperor glanced at the nine princesses and said with a smile: "So, when he returns to the capital, I will give you the mastery and let him stay by your side forever, how about that?"
