Chapter 18

Such a thing happened before the banquet, and the emperor and the empress felt as if they had swallowed a fly, but at night, the two of them looked the same as usual, and even became more energetic because of "Princess Dunsu's return to the court".

The emperor was having fun with the princes and ministers in Beijing in front of him. The queen was entertaining the imperial edicts in the inner hall of Tingfeng Tower. At the second hour of the Youth hour, Princess Dunsu's chariot arrived. The ceremony and music stopped, and the singing and dancing were gone. All the imperial edicts of Tingfeng Tower gave great gifts to Princess Dunsu. Even the empress stood up to greet her. Such a grand show could not be given to the legitimate princess.

Princess Dunsu turned his head and explained. The palace servant bent down slightly and sang loudly to invite everyone to get up. Queen Feng invited Princess Dunsu to the full seat. Princess Dunsu resigned and then sat down after Queen Feng. Princess Dunsu spoke politely with the queen, and looked at the old women at the table closest to her and smiled gently: "I haven't come back for a long time. Are the old ladies doing well?"

Several first-class ladies in their sixties quickly stood up and said, "Hello, after a while, the ladies who came with their new wife took the opportunity to recommend it to Princess Dunsu. Princess Dunsu kept listening with a smile. When she saw the bride, she said to the innocent family: "Mrs. I am blessed, and my uncle and aunt are rare to be kind." She said to the family with a weak child: "Mrs. I will have many children and many children in the future." Although I didn't say much, it was rare that it was gentle and friendly, and every sentence could be spoken to people's hearts. Even Queen Feng couldn't help but admire her secretly.

Speaking of which, Empress Feng was not familiar with Princess Dunsu. Princess Dunsu had already been married when the emperor married, and he didn't move around much. Moreover, the emperor was just a concubine's prince. The Feng family that Emperor Wen married for him was not of high status. Queen Feng never entered the palace when she was in the boudoir, and only saw Princess Dunsu from afar at other families outside the palace. It was nothing compared to Princess Dunsu and Empress Xiaoxian's handkerchiefs.

At that time, Empress Feng admired the intimacy and tacit understanding between Princess Dunsu and Empress Xiaoxian. She once heard that when Empress Xiaoxian first married, Princess Dunsu had to go to the Prince's Mansion at that time almost every day in order to take care of Empress Xiaoxian who had just left the house. She personally took Empress Xiaoxian to meet the royal family and imperial edicts. Because Princess Dunsu, Empress Xiaoxian, who was the first to be a crown prince's concubine, did not have any problems. For a moment, the good reputation of "dignity and generosity" and "dun's courtesy" spread throughout the imperial city. Empress Xiaoqin in the palace was very satisfied when she knew about it, and even praised Empress Xiaoxian as a mother in the world.

Whether Princess Dunsu was trying to take care of her younger brother's first wife or as a person who came here to consider handkerchiefs for having a good relationship since childhood, Princess Dunsu was doing her best. Queen Feng looked at Princess Dunsu's exquisite and decent words, thinking about her situation when she first got married, what about when she got married? Princess Dunsu ignored her.

It was only then that Queen Feng realized how different the legitimate and illegitimate were in the royal family. Therefore, when her husband wanted to fight for the throne, Queen Feng supported her with all her strength, and the final result also proved that her decision was correct at that time. But after so many years, every time she was with Princess Dunsu on such an occasion, when she looked at Princess Dunsu, who was noble in every move, Queen Feng still remembered her shabby and humbleness at the time.

Princess Dunsu's words and deeds reminded her that wealth is born with great power and granted heavenly power.

Queen Feng felt distressed. If Qi Hua could not succeed to the throne, what would happen in the past and what would happen in the future?

The one who understands the mood of Empress Feng is probably the emperor who praised Qi Xiao in front of the Duke and Marquis. There are many court officials entering the palace today. A few ministers who have long retired have also asked their children and grandchildren to support them into the palace. Are these people coming to see Princess Dunsu? They come to see themselves? The emperor sneered, I am afraid they all come to see Qi Xiao.

In order to make the old ministers silent over the years, the emperor never dared to make small moves on Qi Xiao behind his back. He just wanted to raise the rich clothes and eat, and it would be fine if he praised others. Unexpectedly, Qi Xiao had an idea since he was a child. No matter how he indulged him, he would not be too much. Everything has rules. Although he is a little cold, he can't pick out anything else.

Later, when Qi Xiao grew up, the emperor kept staring at Qi Xiao even more. At first, he refused to let Qi Xiao enter the court on the grounds of pity for his weakness. However, when Qi Xiao was fifteen years old, Princess Dunsu, who was far south, wrote a letter to the emperor himself. The letter to the eldest princess did not enter the cabinet and was sent directly to the imperial court in front of the imperial case.

The emperor was thinking about how to deal with Princess Dunsu's hints, but he didn't expect that Princess Dunsu used such a righteous move and opened up the matter in front of the ministers. My nephew is old and can't be confused anymore. It's time to learn from the director, otherwise he will not be the emperor or inherit the throne in the future.

So far, this is the most direct time in the battle between the emperor and the Emperor Wu's direct lineage. It is so direct that it makes people feel that it is simply brutal, but it is more effective than any other method. Princess Dunsu has already said it clearly. When the emperor rejected it at that moment, it inevitably makes people think about Qi Xiao's life experience, and this is the emperor's most taboo.

After that incident, the emperor also asked for compensation. Qi Xiao suffered some losses in secret, but those were nothing compared to entering the court. Since then, the emperor found that things were getting out of control. Qi Xiao, who entered the court, was like a dragon returning to the sea.

The emperor took a deep breath of expectation in the eyes of the old ministers. Maybe he was wrong at the beginning. It wasn’t the emperor who didn’t know that Qi Hua’s mediocre qualifications were, but he valued more the identity of Qi Hua’s legitimate son. Didn’t others still have expectations for Qi Xiao’s bloodline? Well, the emperor would use the method of relying on Qi Hua to compete with Qi Xiao, but now it seems... it’s all in vain.

The emperor's mind was still aching when he remembered the daytime incident. He did not show his face over the years, but he had secretly given Qi Hua a lot of rights and gave him too many opportunities for training. He just thought that one day the time was ripe and let Qi Hua just replace Qi Xiao's position as the prince, but what was the result? In addition to making people from the direct lineage more afraid and careful, nothing was left.

The emperor smiled and spared no effort to praise Qi Xiao, but he had a vague plan in his heart. Maybe... it was time to start paying attention to other princes.

I was in my prime, and as long as nothing unexpected happened, it would be no problem to sit in the dragon position for decades. At that time, the prince he chose was in full swing. After decades of hard work, the people of the direct line should be almost damn. Even if I drag it, I can win this battle.

Qi Xiao was speaking respectfully with the old ministers, and many old ministers were not very good at all. Qi Xiao was not impatient and repeated some questions he had asked several times tirelessly. He silently recalled the relationship between these ministers and the late emperor in his heart, and listened to the hints between the old ministers' words.

Qi Xiao knew in his heart that in the blurry eyes of these old ministers, they were not seeing themselves, but Emperor Wu who died early, the most warlike emperor since the founding of Daxiang. Qi Xiao had never seen the late emperor, but he knew that his biological father was a hero, and it was definitely not the violent and aggressive look that the emperor intentionally or unintentionally described by historians. With the emperor ascending the throne for nearly twenty years, he has not been able to take all the military powers over. No matter who said Emperor Wu was a reckless man, Qi Xiao would not believe it.

His mother passed away for twenty years, and her virtuous deeds are still praised. His father's death for twenty years, Yu Yinneng has always protected him and was favored.

Qi Xiao turned his head and looked at the emperor with a smile. Do you think I could be slaughtered if I had no father or mother?

His father and mother never left.

Qi Xiao could almost see through the emperor's thoughts, and couldn't help but chuckled. Did he finally start to regret it? Finally, he realized that he was not a Qi Hua who could fight? He wanted to rely on another prince again... Haha, Qi Xiao didn't think that Empress Feng and the people behind Qi Hua could have the same tolerance. The enemy's enemy was a friend. The emperor's move added many secret allies to Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao liked Bai Ren more and more. This was a lucky star brought to him by God. Although he did not intend, the balance in the imperial city had barely maintained for nearly twenty years. Today, it was indeed broken by Bai Ren.
