A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

After the banquet, Jiuzhu saw that there were many officials talking to his Royal Highness around his father, he secretly pulled his sleeves, and whispered in his ears: "Your Royal Highness, I will go to see the fireworks outside the hall with my sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law."

"Okay." Yun Duqing saw that although she was pulling her sleeve with her hand, her mind had already flown to the two sister-in-laws, and she took a light gauze cloak and put it on her: "Don't go out to play for too long."

Jiuzhu nodded with a smile, lifted the hem of the long skirt, and ran down the steps, happy as a carefree bird.

The official who talked to the prince saw his gaze following the prince, until the prince and the two princes walked out of the hall, and then smiled and withdrew their gaze, knowing that the status of the prince in the eyes of the prince was extraordinary.

"His Royal Highness and the prince concubine are deeply affectionate, and the Weichen is moved."

A prince who knows how to cherish affection is better than cold heart.

Yun Duqing sent these officials away in two or two sentences, and took the flask to sit down beside Wang Huai and Wang An.

"Prince, you..."

"The two brothers still call my fifth brother to listen." Yun Duqing poured a glass of wine for each of them: "As the saying goes, the brothers are of the same heart, and the profit is cut off. The two brothers, see those who come by. Your lord, help me block it."

"Okay, no problem." Wang An happily responded.

Wang Huai sighed in his heart, and he knew that the fifth child would automatically get close to them, and there must be no good.

"Hey, fifth brother." He slapped Yun Duqing lightly with his elbow: "I think the fifth brother and sister are pure and innocent, so do you just follow her?"

"Brother knows, why did I become the prince?" Yun Duqing took the wine glass, poured it on herself, and gently clinked with Wang Huai: "She is holding the best heart to me, and I will take this heart well. Hold, protect, and cherish."

"Only to live up to her."

When the fireworks bloom, they are as bright as stars.

Jiuzhu looked obsessively, smiling sweetly and contentedly.

"Jiuzhu." Princess Huai looked at Jiuzhu's side face, and stood beside her, blocking the gaze of the other maidens if there was nothing to look at: "I didn't expect that you would appear with the prince."

In fact, what she wants to say is that this kind of non-compliance is best not to be done. Because civil servants and courtiers would not accuse the prince of doing a bad job, they would only verbally criticize the woman, accusing Jiuzhu of fascinating the prince.

"Because I know that if I accompany His Highness to the high platform, he will be happy." Jiuzhu still looked up at the fireworks in the sky: "The higher you stand, the fewer people you can accompany him. I can't bear it."

"What can't you bear?"

"I can't bear him alone." Jiuzhu lowered her head and smiled at Princess Huai: "The moon in the sky is accompanied by stars. Why can't Your Highness?"

Hearing this, Princess Huai's heart trembled and she opened her mouth to speak, but at the moment when the fireworks were in full bloom, she stopped all the words she wanted to say.

There are too many trade-offs in Jingcheng. Few people will say "because he needs it, so I gave it." Pure heart is a scarce product in Jingcheng.

The fireworks spread out like thousands of meteors flickering.

If the meteor can make people's wishes come true, I hope the prince will not bear this rare sincerity.

The ceremonial officer rang the chime and the fireworks stopped.

The hour is approaching, and the ceremony of the prince is completely over.

Jiuzhu and the two sister-in-laws returned to the main hall. She saw Yun Duqing beckoning to her secretly, and ran to him with small steps to sit down. The two were shoulder to shoulder, their heads leaning against each other.

"Does the fireworks look good?" Yun Duqing poured a glass of juice to her mouth.

"It looks good." Jiuzhu held his hand and drank: "Sister-in-law said that she has been married to the palace for several years. This is the grandest firework gift she has ever seen."

When Emperor Longfeng saw the young couple close together and whispered, he coughed and raised his glass: "The prince is still young, please help the prince with all your heart and benefit the people of the world."

All the ministers stood up together and congratulated Dacheng for the ten thousand years of Guozuo, and the world was peaceful.

The bell of the child time rang, and the day finally ended successfully.

The prince has been established, and it is not appropriate for the other princes to live in the palace. Taking advantage of Emperor Longfeng's good mood, some officials proposed to let the prince move back to the palace and go back to the Sixth Department for experience.

The officials who made these suggestions are all from a family. Emperor Longfeng glanced at his silent third son, King Jing, and nodded slightly: "Everyone, Aiqing is right..."

"Report!" A messenger walked in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the tomb of the western suburbs just now made a loud noise. After Jin Wuwei used clairvoyance to inquire, it was found that the tombstone in front of the Emperor Xian's tomb was broken!"

The joyous atmosphere suddenly stagnated.

"It was fine just now. Why did something bad happen when the other princes returned to the sixth department?" An official of the Ministry of Rites suddenly whispered.

Just now, suddenly, with clairvoyance, these words are desperately telling everyone that this matter has nothing to do with the prince.

Although his voice is small, because Zhengyang Temple is too quiet, everyone can hear clearly.

The Qintian Supervisor stood up in the eyes of everyone: "Your Majesty, since the first emperor has given instructions, how about putting a few princes back to the sixth department for now?"

When the prince banquet was conferred, the stars and the moon were still bright and auspicious. As soon as the banquet for the canonization of the princes was over, the tombstone of the first emperor broke when several other princes were mentioned.

It means that the prince is okay, and the problem is one of the princes.

"Then, according to what Jianzheng said, this matter will be put on hold." Emperor Longfeng smiled gently: "It seems that the father also knows that I am reluctant to leave a few children with me, so let them stay with me for a little longer."

The ministers said yes, but there was still something wrong with the eyes of the princes.

Wei Jieyu almost crushed the wine glass in her hand, and the banquet dispersed. She walked behind the concubines and turned to look at Du Qingke who was standing under the corridor, her eyes full of coldness.

Fortunately, at the banquet for the canonization of the prince, the tombstone in front of the tomb of the first emperor was blown up to show that the canonization of Yunduqing as the prince had an ominous omen, and then the princes took the opportunity to return to the palace and walk to the sixth department for the future.

As a result, the ominous omen did happen, but the timing was stuck when His Majesty agreed to let the three princes walk back to Liubu.

Does Du Qingke want to help her, or the undercover agent sent by Su Meidai?

"Mother concubine." Jing Wang walked beside her, holding her arm: "Erchen will send you back to the palace."

Princess Jing let go of the hand holding Wei Jieyu, her footsteps paused slightly, one step behind the mother and son.

"Du Qingke is not credible." Wei Jieyu whispered to Jing Wang: "I suspect that he is pretending to cooperate with us to confuse us, so that Yun Duqing can successfully canonize the prince."

If it weren't because she and the emperor were in the harem and couldn't intervene in a lot of things, how could she give this kind of thing to Du Qingke.

If it weren't for fear of the matter being exposed, she would not have waited until yesterday to tell Du Qingke of the plan. She thought that doing such a small matter with the strength of the Du family was just a matter of a few hours, but she didn't expect such a big mistake.

Yun Duqing didn't get it, but instead smashed her own foot. What a Du Qingke!

Wei Jieyu was trembling with anger, but she had to keep a polite and decent smile under everyone's eyes.

He Du Qingke is unkind, don't blame her for being unrighteous!

The housekeeper of Du House finished his work and was caught by Jin Wuwei on the way back.

It was Yu Jian who caught him. The neighbor of Yu Jian when he was young was a fireworks shop, so he was very sensitive to the smell of fireworks. The steward of Du Mansion and some of his henchmen rode past him, and he smelled it and drew his sword to stop them.

"Guardian, here is the butler of the Du Mansion, who has just returned from an errand outside." The butler of the Du Mansion took out his waist card, as well as the records of entering the city from other states and counties.

Yu Jian took the waist card and handed it to the brother behind him, walked to the horse's side, and removed the petals from the horse's tail, which he did not know when.

If he remembers correctly, there are most of these flowers outside the imperial mausoleum in the western suburbs.

Legend has it that this kind of flower was brought to the world by the blue bird in front of the West Queen’s seat. The royal family believed that as long as this kind of flower was planted around the tomb, the soul would be brought back to the sky by the blue bird and become a fairy.

"The road to Beijing from other places will probably not pass through the imperial tombs in the western suburbs." Yu Jian packed the petals in a cloth bag and waved his hand: "Take people away."

"My lord, I am the housekeeper of the Du family. If you take us away indiscriminately, you are not afraid that the Du family will trouble you?"

"I've been arrested by the Patriarch of the Du family, I'm afraid you are a housekeeper?" Yu Jian sneered: "I suspect that you are related to the destruction of the tombstone of the first emperor. Before the case is cleared, you will stay in the jail in the Jingzhao Mansion."

If it doesn't thunder or rain, how could the tombstone explode as soon as it is said to be exploded? They Jinwuwei does not engage in superstition.

Today is a good day for King Chen to confer the crown prince. It is inevitable that someone will hide from some shameful means. So early this morning, he took Jin Wuwei's only clairvoyance tube.

Unexpectedly, there really was a lot of credit to him.

For such a great achievement, I am sorry for the clairvoyance of the treasure on his waist.

"Not only the people, but also the horses. Take off their shoes and coats and check them carefully to see where they have passed."

You can't be a running dog in front of the seat of Chen Wang's Mansion, but being a running dog in Prince Zhan Shi's Mansion is even more beautiful.

"Father, you said that the first emperor's tombstone shattered..."

"Naturally, it was man-made." Ming Jingzhou was sitting on the swaying carriage, with no respectful meaning in his tone: "I have a lot of Ming princes in the Dacheng dynasty. If there is any warning, it is also the tombstone of other emperors cracked. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible. It's him."

Ming Jiyuan was silent.

That said, it makes sense.

If it is artificial, these people may not dare to bomb the tombstones of other emperors, but the first emperor is different. He is faint and lustful and incompetent. If he blows up his tombstone, not only the royal people will not be too angry, maybe they will not even check it. Will check carefully.

"Then who is helping His Royal Highness?"

The fifth prince has just become a prince, and other princes go to Liubu, which is not a good thing for the prince. Once this happened, whether it was man-made or an omen, it was impossible for your Majesty to send them back to the Sixth Ministry, and other officials would not be able to continue to raise them.

"I can't... Your Majesty did it yourself?" Ming Ji swallowed. In order to pave the way for the prince, is your Majesty too... "filial piety"?

Ming Jingzhou coughed dryly: "Don't talk nonsense, your Majesty is filial and kind, it is impossible to do such a thing."

The carriage stopped at the door of Ming's house. Ming Jiyuan got out of the carriage and was about to reach out to help Ming Jingzhou. He saw two Taoists in green robes sitting at the door.

The female priest sitting on the steps was holding a huge steamed bun and eating with gusto. Seeing their father and son getting off the carriage, they looked up together.

"Two Taoist leaders, don't know where they are coming from?" Shen Ying got off a carriage from behind, walked in front of the two Taoist leaders, and gave them a blessing: "The night is dark. If the two Taoist leaders don't dislike it, please Follow me to the humble house to rest?"

Since Jiuzhu's return, the Ming family has been extremely enthusiastic towards Taoists.

"Alright." The master put the steamed bun into the hands of the second master, stood up and patted the ash behind the robe: "There is hot water, let us take a bath first."

"Yes, some." Shen Ying was stunned for a moment: "Dao Master, please come with me."

"Thank you for your work." The master father walked into the Ming family's gate, looked around, nodded and praised: "Your house is upright and clear, and it is a blessed home."

"Thank you for your praise." Shen Ying smiled and thanked: "I don't know where the two Taoists practice in Xianju?"

Master Father paused: "Forgot to tell Madam that we two are the Taoist masters of Jiuzhu. We two don’t pay attention to Taoist names. Jiuzhu has always been called Master Father and Second Master. You also call us Dao Master and Second Dao Master. Right."

"It turns out to be two immortal leaders." Shen Ying stopped, and Ming Jingzhou and Ming Jiyuan also walked forward.

"The grace of life-saving, the Ming family is unforgettable. Please two immortal leaders to be worshipped by us." Ming Jingzhou lifted his robes and was actually preparing to bow down and worship the two Taoists.

"Master Ming, the two of us are predestined with Jiuzhu, adults don't need to be like this." Grandmaster and father alone supported Ming Jingzhou and Shen Ying, with no force on his wrists, but the couple couldn't kneel down.

"You are the people of the world, upright and unyielding, and you were sent to the bitter cold land to be separated from your daughter. God asked us to save Jiuzhu because of your kindness, not our work." The master father said in a light tone: "If you worship us Two of us, we can only worship you on behalf of the people of the world."

"What's more, the appearance of Jiuzhu also brought us a lot of joy. We give her growth, and she gives us happiness, and no one owes anyone."

"Yes." Ming Jingzhou understood what the chief of the road meant, and after she let go of herself, she gave her a deep bow.

"I just watched the horoscopes, and the fate of Jiuzhu has changed." The chief of the road saw that his family was interested, and he would continue to bow down without being sticky, and nodded with satisfaction: "What is important to Jiuzhu today?"

"Returning to the Great Immortal Chief, today is the day when your Majesty canonized the prince, and the prince is the husband of Jiuzhu, Yunduqing."

"So that's the case." The chief of the road looked up at the starry sky and smiled for a moment: "I knew this before, so we don't have to go to Beijing."

Soon after Jiuzhu returned to Beijing, she deduced the natal chart for Jiuzhu nine times, and every time it showed that Jiuzhu will be fateful this year.

But today she squatted at the gate of the Ming family and speculated again, and found that the fate of the robbery disappeared, but it was the appearance of noble energy.

In this capital, she didn't want to stay too much for a moment.

Ran away in vain.
