The white horse passed by, and it was the first day of June in a blink of an eye. There were still fifteen days before Jiapo and Qin Keqing's wedding. Ever since Emperor Longchang issued the decree to confer the marriage, the entire etiquette department had already started busy with Jiapo's marriage.
"Your Majesty, all the invitations have been sent to Beijing County Prince's Palace, Nan'an County Prince's Palace, Dongping County Prince's Palace, and Xining County Palace. Everyone said they would be there." Zhang Zong reported the invitation to Jiapo.
The date of Japer's wedding is approaching, and he is living separately and living separately. Jia She is still "recuperating" and cannot come out. So you can only handle these things yourself.
"There should be no mistakes or omissions in what I asked you to prepare. I owe the princess too much these years, and I don't want any mistakes to affect the marriage between Gu and the princess." After listening to Zhang Zong's report, Jiapo looked at Zhang Zong with a serious expression and warned.
"Don't worry, my lord, all the gifts totaling 1,600 tons have been counted and sealed. I will check them every day." Zhang Zong said seriously. He knew how much his prince cared about his princess, so naturally he didn't dare to be careless.
"Furthermore, the Empress sent people to send phoenix crowns and harems to the princess, and His Majesty the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Supreme Emperor also sent people to send many valuable things in the palace." Zhang Zong said with a smile.
"What did you say? When did you send it?" Jiapo was shocked when he heard the news and stood up, staring at Zhang Zong closely.
It would be okay if it was only given by the Queen, it only shows that the royal family values the couple, but it would be wrong if both the Emperor and the Queen Mother gave it as a gift.
"My lord, it was sent this morning. I heard that it was all hand-picked by the emperor and the queen mother." Zhang Zong didn't know why his prince lost his temper, but he said quickly without hesitation.
Hearing Zhang Zong say that those things were hand-picked by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, Jiapo knew in his heart that the emperor in the palace might have confirmed Qin Keqing's identity and told the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Otherwise, even if he, Jiapo, got married, he wouldn't need to do that. The two old men personally selected the gift, which could only be for Qin Keqing.
"You know, right?" Japer looked up at the palace and muttered to himself.
"Has there been any abnormality in the palace recently? Has the troops been mobilized?"
He didn't know what the emperor's attitude was towards Qin Keqing's identity, so he could only prepare for the worst.
"Back to your lord, there has been no troop movement in the capital recently. The Soldiers and Horses Department, the city defense camp, the Imperial Army, etc. are all normal except for drills."
"This morning, the palace sent gifts to the princess. Among the entourage, an old woman and an old man looked strange and a little excited when they saw the princess." Zhang Zong did not dare to hide anything and quickly told everything he knew.
"Send people to strengthen the guards of the Qin Mansion. Anyone with evil intentions will be killed." Hearing Zhang Zong's answer, Jiapo breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to take it lightly.
"It's the prince!" Although Zhang Zong was very confused as to why Jiapo was like this, as a servant, he didn't dare to ask more questions and retreated.
"Since I returned to Beijing, I have not touched the military power or have close friendship with the civil and military forces, just to reassure you. I hope that you and I, the monarch and the minister, will not go to that point. As long as you don't hurt her, I will never do anything sorry for you." Japer looked towards the direction of the palace and muttered to himself.
He has already guessed who the two old people are. The appearance of the two old people will not be detrimental to Qin Keqing, but what he is afraid of is the emperor. The current emperor is no longer as unstable in the court as he used to be. At the risk of being deposed, he has completely controlled the military power after several months. As for the officials in the court, many officials have also been changed. Now even if the Supreme Emperor comes out, it will have no effect.
After Niu Jizong returned from Taiheguan two months ago, his title was promoted to the title of Marquis of Zhenguo. The former Jingying Jiedu envoy Wang Ziteng served as the Jiubian inspector and went to Jiubian for inspections. Later Niu Jizong took charge of Jingying and served as the Jingying Jiedu envoy. The soldiers and horses of Shenjing City are all under the control of the emperor. All this shows that the emperor has begun to take action against nobles.
And he has always lived in seclusion, and he is afraid of the emperor's suspicion. He understands that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Even if outsiders think that he is deeply favored by the emperor, he has always been cautious and dare not be careless. What's more, there is a prince who is always there. In his palace, he had long been labeled as a prince, and many civil and military officials also tended to move closer to him or to the prince.
royal palace
"Mother, Ke'er is about to get married. You suddenly tell her that you are her grandmother. You will scare her." The Queen Mother was supporting the Queen Mother and comforting her.
"Fifteen years, exactly fifteen years, she was stolen before she was even a year old. The Ai family has been praying to God and praying to Buddha every day for these fifteen years in the hope that she will grow up safely. Now it is not easy to find her, but you don't let her The Ai family recognizes her." The Queen Mother looked excited at this time, her kind face full of tears, looking at the emperor and empress.
"Honey, the Queen is right. It's not appropriate to recognize each other now. You have to let the girl get used to it slowly." The Supreme Emperor was also persuading the Queen Mother. Why didn't he want to recognize Qin Keqing and take good care of him who owed him fifteen years? My granddaughter is 20 years old, but it’s really inappropriate now.
"It's all you! It's all you! It's all your fault. If it weren't for your Ai family's Ke'er, why would you have been living among the people for fifteen years? You old bastard, you think of a way for the Ai family. The granddaughter of the Ai family must not just Get married like this." It was good that the Emperor remained silent, but as soon as he spoke, the Queen Mother became even more excited and was beaten several times by the Queen Mother.
"Queen mother, Yubai loves Ke'er very much. They are childhood sweethearts and love each other deeply. They have waited for each other for many years before getting married. If you really don't want Ke'er to get married, I'm afraid Ke'er will resent your mother. "Yes." When Emperor Longchang saw the Emperor looking at him, he knew that his father could not persuade his mother, so he could only use his trump card and hope it would be effective.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother gradually calmed down after hearing what the emperor said, but she still felt very uncomfortable.
"Humph! Tell that boy that if he dares to mistreat the granddaughter of the Ai family, the Ai family will not spare him."
Looking at the Queen Mother who was gradually regaining her emotions, the father, son, and husband and wife looked at each other. They did not expect that the usually kind and kind Queen Mother would be so excited and difficult to comfort.
In fact, when the emperor confirmed Qin Keqing's identity, he was not at peace either. As for killing Qin Keqing, he never thought about it.
Not to mention that she is just a woman and has no possibility of threatening his throne. Moreover, even after marrying Jiapo, with Jiapo's temperament, as long as he does not deal with Qin Keqing, Jiapo will not do anything wrong to him.
"I didn't expect that this girl Ke'er has been in Shenjing City all this time. If it weren't for Jia Po, I might never see this girl again." The emperor and the empress sighed as they walked side by side on the way back to Longde Palace.
"This shows that Japer is our lucky star. If the eldest brother had not been for those people, how could he have committed suicide." The queen said with emotion.
"Elder brother's revenge will be avenged sooner or later. Daxing's current national strength is not enough, and it needs to be improved as soon as possible to draw them out." After hearing about the former prince, the emperor's eyes flashed with nostalgia, anger, a hint of powerlessness, and horror. Murderous intent.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Their methods are mysterious and unpredictable. Back then, my eldest brother could only use his own life to make them retreat temporarily. You should be more careful yourself." The queen felt extremely distressed when she saw the emperor like this.
She knew that her husband was burdened with the fate of this country, and he was facing a group of aloof beings who claimed to be gods.
If it hadn't been for them, the former prince would not have died, and the emperor and his son would not have been suspicious of each other for so many years.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that I have finally found my eldest brother's bloodline, I'm afraid there will be some changes in those people. The Queen Mother has handed over the Shadow God Guard to you. You can arrange for the two of them to protect the child secretly." The emperor smiled and looked at the Queen. He said, "Nothing can happen to my eldest brother's bloodline again."
"good."
"Second brother, how long has it been since we walked together like this?"
"It's been three years, I can't remember."
"Yeah, three years..."
In the palace, the emperor and the queen were walking slowly, just like an ordinary couple walking and chatting.
