Chapter 1587
When I returned to Beijing, it was the hottest summer, and now it is autumn.
Today, the Young Master's Mansion welcomed two distinguished guests. One was Emperor Mingde, and the other was Crown Prince Xiao Zhi, formerly His Royal Highness Prince Ling.
Shi Anxia and his wife led Shi Yunqi and a group of people to the door to greet the father and son, and they chatted and laughed as they entered the Young Master's Mansion.
Although Emperor Mingde and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were on a secret visit, they did not deliberately avoid being seen.
The powerful and analytical people knew that the emperor's favor for Princess Haiyan and Marquis Jian'an would last for at least several dozen or even hundreds of years.
I have mixed feelings. If I had known earlier, I would have made friends with the Jian'an Marquis Mansion when it was in decline, I could still borrow some light from them now.
No matter what people outside say, the young master's mansion is extremely harmonious.
The fragrance of tea, wine, flowers and fruit fills the air.
Prince Xiao Zhi sighed, "My sister's house is truly a beautiful place on earth."
Shi Anxia responded sincerely, "If you like, Prince, please come and visit often. I will certainly prepare a bed for you."
Xiao Zhi's eyes were clear, "Then I take it seriously, my sister, don't just say it casually."
Shi Anxia pursed her lips and smiled.
Although the two had met before, they were always in a hurry and didn't have time to chat. At that time, Qingchen's plan was just being implemented and the overall situation was not yet determined. It was rare for them to sit down and chat like today.
At this moment, it can be said that the hard-earned peaceful time is good. Perhaps everyone has thought of this, and it seems like a dream for a moment.
Emperor Mingde, in particular, had previously suspected that these people were forming a clique for personal gain.
It was not until Jin Hai, the steward of Prince Ling's Mansion, presented the correspondence between Cen Yuan and Xiao Zhi that he truly learned that the so-called factionalism was just Cen Yuan directing Xiao Zhi to run around.
Wherever there was a disaster, there was His Royal Highness Prince Ling. At that time, Xiao Zhi was away from the capital for a long time, but he was repairing the North Wing.
That year, all disasters, big and small, were resolved by Prince Ling, and some were not even reported to the court.
Emperor Mingde looked at Shi Yunqi, then at Cen Yuan, and then at his own son, thinking that at last there was someone worth showing off, otherwise they were all cowards. How could they have the face to see their ancestors?
Everyone drank tea and ate together, just like a family. Just when they were having a great time, they heard the doorman come to announce that Shi Chengxuan had arrived.
Tang Chujun's eyelids twitched: What is he doing here?
Shi Yunqi: He must have heard the news that the emperor is coming and came here to make himself known.
Shi Anxia: He must want to meet Emperor Mingde and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so that he can brag about it when he goes out.
Now that they are here, it’s hard to chase them out.
When Shi Chengxuan entered, he heard the doorman say that not only the Emperor had come, but also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come.
He knelt outside the steps and kowtowed, hesitating in his words: "Your humble servant, no, your humble official, uh, that's not right, your humble commoner... kowtows to the Emperor, kowtows to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Long live the Emperor, long live the Crown Prince, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."
He couldn't get up unless Emperor Mingde called him.
While people were having dinner in the hall, he knelt outside the hall and drank the northwest wind, which was very desolate. So he raised his voice and shouted again: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the prince."
Emperor Mingde finally responded, "What else?"
What else? What else? Shi Chengxuan couldn't figure it out for a moment.
There was no sound inside again, so we continued with our meal.
There was no sound outside, and Shi Chengxuan was puzzled.
After a long while, Shi Chengxuan was hungry and his legs hurt from kneeling, "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the prince! A thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
Emperor Mingde's voice came out again, "What else?"
Shi Chengxuan regretted coming here a little. He was thirsty, hungry, his legs ached, and he had to guess riddles.
Chang Wu couldn't help but whispered, "Master, do you still need to pay respects to Princess Haiyan?"
Shi Chengxuan raised his head and said, "Why would it be necessary? Why would my own daughter wish me good health?" But he still tried to save the situation and said, "Long live Princess Haiyan."
Emperor Mingde snorted coldly, "Just now I remembered that there is a princess present."
