352 Four years later
The disappointed tone in his daughter's mouth made Shangguan burst into laughter. There was always an inexplicable jealousy between him and Wei Che.
Qingluan was too lazy to pay attention to Shangguan Jue's little thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Brother, how good is my grandmother? Where are my sister-in-law and Brother Yue? And Si Si, I, the aunt, have never met her.
Yeah." Si Si is the second child of Wei Che and Liu Qianqian, and is only a little over one year old now.
"Grandma's health is very good, and everyone else is also very good." Wei Che said as few words as ever, but there was a tenderness in his tone that belonged only to family members.
Qingluan can't wait to go to Weiyuan Hou to have a look, but he also knows that this is not realistic. After all, he is now a member of the Shangguan family. Regardless of whether there are elders in the Qin Palace, he must at least go to the palace to pay homage to the queen, and he is afraid that it is Shangguan.
There are definitely many things to discuss with the emperor.
"Grandma said that you should settle down at home first. Since you have returned to Beijing, there will always be a chance to meet." Wei Che added.
Qingluan nodded and said yes, but then he heard Shangguan Jue say: "We have nothing to do on the official road. We are only an hour away. If you have any questions, we can talk about it back to the palace."
Wei Che glanced at him, and then got into the carriage. Shangguan Jue stuffed his daughter and son into the carriage, and then watched his beloved wife get into the carriage before changing horses. Anyway, he would not neglect anything in front of Qingluan.
Wei Che's.
Because they were about to enter the city, Qingluan put away the chessboard and hugged a pair of children.
The little girl is very curious. She has always been in the northwest, but what she hears most about is Shangjing. She knows that her parents grew up in Shangjing, and this is their root.
The emperor and queen in the palace, mother said they are the most noble people in the world, so what do they really look like?
While answering the little girl's dumbfounding questions, the carriage slowly drove into the city gate. After five years, she entered the capital again. Thinking of the last time she left the capital, she almost felt desperate.
At that time, she didn't even think she had a chance to come back. Then a few years later, she came back, and her two children came back with her.
When the carriage passed through the busy city, Xiaoxiao tried to lift the curtains of the carriage several times, but was stopped by Qingluan. Seeing the little girl pouting in grievance, Qingluan had to agree to take the two siblings with him after they settled down.
People go out for a walk.
His ears were filled with familiar language, and Qingluan really felt as if he was in another world. The sound of the wheels rolling on the stone road seemed particularly vivid.
Wei Che directly drove Qingluan and his entourage back to Prince Qin's Mansion before saying goodbye. Qingluan didn't stay too long and decided to return to the Weiyuan Mansion with his children in three days to visit the old lady and Liu Qianqian.
There are not many owners in Prince Qin's Mansion. Ever since the old prince died and the second room and his family were sent away to Beijing, the entire Prince's Mansion has been vacant, leaving only some trustworthy servants to clean and tidy it up. This time, King Qin and Princess Qin's
The arrival finally brought a touch of life to this house that had been dormant for several years.
The servants who stayed behind in the palace had tidied up the house a month ago, and everyone's face was beaming with joy. After all, the master's return seemed to have a backbone for the servants.
After entering the main courtyard and taking a short rest, Shangguan Jue Qingluan and the twins changed their clothes and prepared to enter the palace.
Although Shangguan Jue has not returned to the capital for a long time, his deeds are not less spread in the capital. The former dandy founded Hongye Villa without others knowing, and his business spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty. Now he has also extended his business to Beirong.
It can be said that he is extremely wealthy.
Coupled with the peace treaty signed with Beirong, it directly solved the most serious military crisis in the Xia Dynasty and became another meritorious person after the God of War.
There are all kinds of rumors about why Shangguan Jue pretended to be a playboy in the first place and why he slandered his reputation, but there is no doubt that Shangguan Jue is definitely the hottest topic in Beijing today.
Outside the palace gate, the emperor's second most trusted eunuch, Wei Wei, was waiting for the carriage of Prince Qin's palace with a smile on his face.
After the emperor got the news, he sent himself to greet him at the palace gate. It can be seen that Wei Wei valued King Qin so much that Wei Wei did not dare to put on any airs at this time.
When the carriage belonging to Prince Qin's palace stopped, Wei Wei stepped forward with a smile on his face and said: "His Royal Highness, Prince of Qin, my servant Xiao Weizi, is waiting here at your Majesty's command." Only a soft response was heard from inside.
Wei Wei waved his hand behind him. The soft sedan prepared was for Princess Qin and the twins.
After entering the palace, Shangguan Jue and Qingluan separated. Shangguan Jue went to the Chengqian Hall where the emperor was, while Qingluan went to the Qifeng Hall of the Empress.
This palace is still solemn and solemn, but I don't know how many beauties have been ruined inside. An An is clinging to Qingluan's side quietly as always, and even Xiaoxiao is puffing up his cheeks and saying nothing, just looking around with his eyes open.
Everything means that she is very curious about all of it.
Qifeng Palace is magnificent, dignified and grand.
What greeted the queen at the palace gate was Sang Qing. She was Xing Youyou's dowry. She had been by her side since Xing Youyou married into Prince Wei's Mansion. She can be said to be the most proud person around her. Now Xing Youyou
After becoming the mistress of Qifeng Palace, Sang Qing's status has also increased. People in the palace now call her Aunt Sang.
Aunt Sang's personal greeting is enough to illustrate the Queen's attitude towards Princess Qin.
"My slave, please pay your respects to Princess Qin. The empress has been nagging her since early in the morning." When Aunt Sang saw Qingluan, she smiled and made a blessing ceremony.
Qingluan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help her, and said: "There is Aunt Laosang."
"The princess is so ashamed of her servant." How dare Sang Qing pretend to be Qingluan's aunt?
"These are the young prince and young lady, they are so good-looking." Sang Qing was chatting with Qingluan while casting his eyes on An An and Xiao Xiao, with a glimmer of envy in his eyes. Princess Qin is really
She is a lucky person. She endured such a difficult environment back then, and it was difficult for her to
The good news is that King Qin never abandons her and does not take those rumors to heart at all. For these years, there is only Princess Qin around her and such a pair of children. Not everyone has such a blessing.
Yes, at least their mother-in-law does not have this blessing.
After seeing the envy in Sang Qing's eyes, Qingluan couldn't help but feel a little heavy in her heart. The queen had encountered unfair treatment in the palace when she was the Crown Princess of Wei, and she aborted the child in her belly that time. So far,
There has been no news about the queen's belly, and the emptiness of the heirs in the harem inevitably makes people feel uneasy. What's more, for the emperor, having only two women in the harem is indeed a bit empty.
After the emperor had observed the late emperor's filial piety according to the day and the month, courtiers continued to report to the emperor to select girls. Now there are many more women in the harem, and Concubine Jing gave birth to the emperor's first prince.
In this way, the queen, who seems to be in a position of infinite beauty, also has her own troubles.
As she spoke, she had already entered the inner hall. The marble floor was shiny, and Xing Youyou was sitting on top wearing a bright red peony embroidered silk robe. Her facial features were still the same Xing Youyou in Qingluan's memory, but she was exuding
The momentum she came out with was not comparable to that of the original Princess of Wei.
Qingluan stabilized his mind and bowed respectfully, while An An and Xiaoxiao beside him had already received the instructions. After Qingluan bowed, they also followed suit and bowed.
"Sang Qing, please help Princess Qin up, why should I be so polite?" Halfway through the ceremony, the queen's harmonious voice was heard.
Sang Qing on the side quickly helped Qingluan, gave him a seat, and served tea.
The queen's eyes were quite nostalgic, she glanced at Qingluan and the twins, and then said: "Princess Qin, we haven't seen each other for many years. I didn't expect that your children are so old. I keep listening to you."
The emperor mentioned the twins, now you can finally see them, come, come, let me take a closer look."
An An glanced at Qingluan, saw her nodding her head in encouragement, and then walked forward holding her little hand.
The queen herself has no children. Although there is an eldest prince in the palace now, the two princesses are not her children, and she is not willing to raise other people's children. However, women at this age are more or less overflowing with maternal love, especially when
Seeing this twin who looked like a golden boy and a beautiful girl, the look of love on her face could no longer be concealed.
The queen held one by the other and asked a few questions. Xiao Xiao was a little reserved at first, but when she found out that the queen was quite easy to talk to, she let go. She leaned into the queen's arms and said softly: "Your Majesty, your place is so beautiful.
ah."
The little girl spoke clearly and had a sweet smile. Queen Xidi pulled her into her arms and said, "Xiao Xiao, do you like it here?"
"I like it." Xiaoxiao Jianjian responded. When it comes to wealth and grandeur, there is no place like Qifeng Palace.
"Then, how about Xiaoduoduo coming to the palace from now on?" The queen gently pinched the little girl's face. She really wished she could regard the little girl as her own daughter. If her child is still there, there must be Xiaoxiao too.
So clever.
"Okay." Xiaoxiao thought for a while and added, "Mom, come too."
This sentence made the queen laugh, and she sighed towards Qingluan: "People say that this daughter is the mother's little cotton-padded jacket. Look at this girl, she is always thinking about you even at such a young age."
What the little girl is best at is coaxing people, and her mouth is extremely sweet. She doesn't know where she can come from so many sweet words at such a young age. Qingluan smiled and said: "This girl has been like this since she was a child. Speaking of
The good news is that it’s all in one set.”
"That's good." The queen talked to Xiao Xiaoxiao, and then asked Sang Qing to give them a meeting gift. The gifts were very heavy, and Qingluan hurriedly thanked them both.
