Chapter 93 The Prince Returns to Beijing(1/2)
A luxurious carriage was moving forward steadily on the official road outside the capital, with fully armed royal guards on both sides.
The huge marching force could only hear the sound of strong wind blowing through the flags and the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground. In addition, the air was holding its breath and concentrating, which made people respect it. Wherever they went, pedestrians avoided it.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you will have ten miles to the capital." Suddenly, the guards' respectful report came from outside.
There was no response in the car, and it was silent. The guard raised his hand to signal the carriage to continue moving forward. The royal majesty was as bright as the sky.
A gentle smile appeared on the lips of the noble man who was half leaning against the soft collapse and closed his eyes to rest. Xueer, I'm back.
"Report to the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess welcomes His Highness back to the capital at Shiliting."
Xueer? Xuanyuan Jue immediately opened his eyes and said majesticly: "Stop."
Immediately someone lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the prince got off the carriage, locking his eyes on the figure standing tall under the warm sun, and smiling at him.
His Xueer actually came to pick him up? Xuanyuan Jue quickly stepped forward, stared at her beautiful cheeks in obsession, and said dotingly: "Why are you here?"
The familiar warmth came to his face, Baili Xue smiled, "I welcome the crown prince back to Beijing."
"When did you learn so naughty?" Xuanyuan Jue's gaze fell on her lower abdomen and said softly: "Is the child good?"
Baili Xue's figure was not visible, and her red lips raised, and she said coquettishly: "I just remember the child, don't you ask me if you don't ask me?"
Xuanyuan Jue burst into laughter and suddenly picked her up. "It's a lot of sank. It seems that I'm not here for this period and I'm well raising it."
Bailixue's face turned red, and her pink fist hit his chest, and said fiercely: "I think I am fat?"
"Just just now, I can only hold you alone for my husband. I don't have to worry about holding you left and right for my husband."
"Because you are struggling with the journey, I will not be bothering you." Baili Xue pretended to be angry, wrapped her hands around his neck, and said with a smile: "I wonder if your highness will have an affair when he leaves Beijing this time?"
Xuanyuan Jue smiled deeper on his lips. He carried Xueer onto the carriage and said seriously: "Yes."
"Come on the truth." Baili Xue acted like a three-in-one judge and sit upright, "Is she beautiful?"
Xuanyuan Jue nodded and cleared his throat, "It's as beautiful as Xue'er."
Baili Xue leaned on him lazily, but her eyes became more and more fierce, "As gentle as me?"
"yes."
"As as understanding as I do?"
"I am still pregnant like Xueer."
Baili Xue couldn't help laughing and said fiercely: "If you dare to steal fish outside with me on your back, I can't spare you."
Xuanyuan Jue stroked his eyebrows helplessly and said with great distress: "In the palace, you are looking at me, outside, and my brother-in-law is looking at me, I need to have a chance."
A silver bell-like laughter came from the car, and Baili Xue's eyebrows were shimmering in the spring breeze. "I heard that woman from the Beiming family is amazing in beauty?"
"Xue'er's ears and ears are everywhere. It seems that you can't escape your devil's claws in your life." Xuanyuan Jue looked at Xue'er deeply and chuckled: "Why did you run so far to pick me up? Don't you notify me in advance?"
"Don't you want to give you a surprise?" Baili Xue adjusted a comfortable position in his arms, "Are you happy?"
"Of course, I'm just afraid that you will be tired." Xuanyuan Jue smiled softly and his big hand slashed across Xueer's cheek. "Now is not as good as before. Be careful, is the child good?"
"I'm not very good." Baili Xue said distressedly: "The prince said that this child will most likely be a demon king in the world in the future."
"How dare I torture my baby Xueer, why not let my husband beat him up." Xuanyuan Jue hugged Xueer tightly with heartache.
Bailixue burst out laughing, smelling the fresh fragrance on his body, and teased: "She is your little princess, I'm afraid that you will not be able to bear to beat him after she is born?"
"It's nothing to let Xue'er work so hard, and she's reluctant to let her husband go." Xuanyuan Jue said naturally: "If you don't beat him enough, just beat him a few times, okay?"
Bailixue couldn't help but smile, "You can't bear it, but I can't bear it. You have been leaving the capital for so long, have you missed us?"
"Forty-eight days, I spend every day in my miss of Xueer." A smile bloomed on Xuanyuan Jue's handsome face, and he said charmingly: "Does Xueer miss me?"
He actually remembered so clearly? Baili Xuexin was as sweet as honey, putting her little hand in his big hand, "I miss you too."
"So good." Xuanyuan Jue smiled with satisfaction, clenched her little hand, gently bit her earlobe, and murmured: "I've been four months, right?"
The hot temperature of his body made Baili Xue understand his hint, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she pretended to be confused: "What four months?"
Xuanyuan Jue curled his lips gently, showing an evil smile, "Long-term separation is better than a newlywed. Let your husband love you tonight."

Imperial study room.
"My son will meet with my father and pay tribute to him." After the prince returned to the capital, he came to the imperial study to pay homage to the emperor.
"The prince is back?" The emperor said lightly: "You went to the front line to patrol the emperor, demonstrating our country's power, and your achievements are in the country. What's the war now?"
"The soldiers of Jiangxia are in a state of great power, and Asaiguo is just around the corner." Xuanyuan Jue said.
"Well!" For some reason, the emperor was obviously absent-minded, as if the unspeakable barriers between him and the prince did not exist, and the father and son were still in love with each other as usual. Cihe said: "The Queen's birthday is coming soon. You are back just in time, and the family is reunited."
"yes."
Today, the emperor looked very bad. After sending the prince away, he was ready to go back to Xiangyun Palace to rest. However, the palace servants of Zihua Palace sent Concubine Ning a sincere letter, which was full of longing for the emperor.
The emperor thought for a moment. Concubine Ning had been in jail for a long time. As the queen was about to have her birthday, she waved her hand and said, "The ban on Zihua Palace was lifted."
Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "Abide by the order."
Concubine Ning chose this time very well. When the empress’s birthday was in the harem, the emperor wanted to pardon Concubine Ning, so it was justified.
---
The Empress's birthday banquet was held in a particularly grand manner. All the important officials and relatives of the royal family came to celebrate the Empress's birthday.
Tonight, Queen Xue wore a nine-bead phoenix crown and a gorgeous phoenix robe. She was graceful and noble, and became more and more beautiful under the illumination of the bright yellow palace lanterns.
Concubine Ning, who had just been lifted from the confinement order, also appeared in front of everyone. After being locked up for so long, she thought she would definitely lose favor, but she would make a comeback.
She was wearing a royal blue cloud brocade dress, and she just formed her slim figure. Her eyes were charming and she burst into a variety of charms, which was so beautiful.
Unlike the colorful and colorful concubines in the harem, Ming Fei wore a moon-white brocade palace outfit, which looked fresh and elegant, unique.
Seeing the women in the harem fighting for beauty, Baili Xue smiled coldly. The emperor was blessed with a strong blessing, and even reached his hand on his daughter-in-law. Could it be that he really responded to the saying, "Wife is worse than a concubine, and it is better to steal than a concubine, and it is better to steal than to steal?"
Even if he is as noble as an emperor, he still has the romantic and despicable nature of an ordinary man?
She is the crown princess, and today she chose a gorgeous red palace outfit, revealing her unparalleled noble identity and luxurious demeanor.
Three beautiful ladies who are as famous as Donglan are gathered in Changchun Palace tonight. This is the first time that the emperor has seen Bailixue after breaking with the emperor in the Wude Hall last time.
As the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing, the emperor captured the intimate interaction between her and the prince, and his eyes were cold. Princess Anning didn't know why, so she presented a fine wine with charming appearance and said cutely: "Your Majesty, I wish you a cup."
The emperor smiled, "Today is the Queen's birthday, so I should pay homage to the Queen first."
Empress Xue hurriedly said, "Your Majesty said this, but I will ruin my destiny. Your Majesty is the lord of the country and the lord of all people. How dare I drink before Your Majesty?"
"The queen is the birthday star today. Since she is the birthday star, I will grant you a drink today. The queen will take care of the six palaces. I will pay a cup of respect to the queen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Empress Xue gracefully drank all the wine in the glass, followed the emperor's sight without any trace, and indeed turned to Xue'er who was whispering to the prince, frowned slightly. Is the emperor not giving up on Xue'er?
The reason why the emperor did not stop Concubine Ning from being imprisoned was that, on the one hand, the empress's generosity was demonstrated, and on the other hand, with Concubine Ning, the emperor might be able to divert his interest in Xueer.
In the harem for many years, the queen knew that the emperor's interest in any woman was very easy to change, but she did not expect that in the face of a delicate young beauty like Concubine Ning, she still failed to completely dispel the emperor's covetousness of Xue'er.
The emperor's unsuccessful thoughts about Lin Jing's desire have become stronger and stronger for so many years?
"My daughter respects the Empress and wishes the Empress as blessed as the East China Sea. I wish His Majesty and the Empress to be harmonious and grow old together."
Xue Lingwei's voice pulled the queen back from her thoughts. Queen Xue smiled slightly, "Vier is really interested."
Weier dressed up carefully tonight, and her appearance and demeanor stand out among the noble daughters. It makes people suddenly remember that the "peerless two-girl" style that was once famous in the capital is still there.
Many envious eyes fell on her, and Xue Lingwei was generous, "My daughter wants to offer a song to the Empress to congratulate the Empress on her birthday."
"Vier's piano skills have always been superb, and I am looking forward to it!" Queen Xue took all her eyes without a trace and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Empress."
Afterwards, the melodious sound of the piano floated in the hall. Xue Lingwei learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. She learned from famous teachers and had excellent piano skills. With the beautiful music, many people gradually entered a state of fascination.
Because Baili Xue was pregnant, she had no good food for these fine wines in the palace and could only eat the food carefully prepared by the Queen. She ate it while admiring: "Xue Lingwei's piano sound is good."
"Far from Xue'er." Someone said lightly and then put a bowl of Tremella soup for her, "Eat more and be careful to be hungry."
Bailixue looked at the food piled up in front of her, and her mouth couldn't help but twitch. Since someone returned to Beijing, the greatest pleasure every day was watching her eat, for fear that she would eat less and starve to his baby little princess.
He had just returned for a few days and she felt like she had gained weight. The Qingping County Lord beside him was so envious that his saliva was almost flowing down. He smiled wickedly: "Sister Xue, if you don't want to eat, I'm happy to help you."
"Go on the go if you're okay." Someone's cold voice made County Lord Qingping stick out his tongue, and his head stretched out shrank back.
Xue Lingwei's piano sound won praise. Seeing that his daughter was so earning her face, her face was full of pride.
The queen smiled and said, "Vier's piano skills are getting more and more sophisticated, please give me some appreciation."
Aunt Yao presented a jade hairpin to Xue Lingwei. Xue Lingwei was in a state of integrity, "Empress Xie praised her."
Princess Zhending also smiled and said, "Miss Xue's piano skills have indeed improved a lot. I haven't heard such exquisite piano sounds for a long time."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Chu Li beside her, and said meaningfully: "Ali, do you think so?"
Chu Li was calm and nodded slightly, "What my mother said."
Xue Lingjun glanced at the prince's gaze that he was shot over intentionally or unintentionally, and subconsciously moved away and looked elsewhere. The prince was extremely smart, and he would always subconsciously avoid the prince's exploration.
Baili Xue watched coldly. Could it be that Princess Zhending fell in love with Xue Lingwei and wanted to betroth Xue Lingwei to the prince?
