It was still early spring when he left Beijing, but it was already autumn when he returned to Beijing.

Looking at the big and small sitting beside him, Zhu Yunxuan smiled, and the ups and downs of his mind finally calmed down at this moment.

The chariot stopped outside Ganlin Palace, and Zhu Yunxuan took Xu'er out of the car. The child was curious about everything, and his eyes almost couldn't turn: "This place is so big and beautiful! Daddy, is this our home?"

Zhu Yunxuan smiled and touched his son's head. In the past, he felt that the deep palace was lonely and lonely, no different from a prison, but now Xu'er said that this is their home.

Well, their, home.

Liang Zhen stepped forward and picked up his son: "Go, father brings the little baby in to open his eyes."

Zhu Yunxuan has been away from Beijing for more than half a year. The Ganlin Palace has been renovated. The children are dazzled by the sight, twisting and falling to the ground, running around in and out, looking around and smiling.

Liang Zhen also felt a lot of emotion, and laughed and joked with Zhu Yunxuan: "Who would have thought that the concubine still has this blessing and can come back here again."

Zhu Yunxuan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and took Xuer's hand: "Daddy will take you to see your bedroom."

Xu'er's residence is arranged in the west side hall next to their sleeping hall. It has already been tidy up. All kinds of decorations are decorated according to Xu'er's preferences. There is a bird cage hanging under the corridor and an oriole that is singing. Mu Bingbing used to be solemn and solemn. The cold Ganlin Palace is also more childish.

The eunuchs and eunuchs went out beamingly to greet the prince. They were all newly deployed to serve Xu'er, and they had repeatedly screened innocent, honest and capable people. Looking around, there were dozens of people in the dark, and Xu'er was a little frightened by the posture in front of him, and pulled Zhu Yunxuan's clothes to hide behind him. When he was in the General Military Mansion, there were many people who served him, but compared to now, he was still insignificant, and children were not used to being surrounded by so many people.

Zhu Yunxuan motioned for Gao An to stay and explain the rules to everyone, pick up Xu'er and go inside.

The child has lost his previous interest, and sullenly hugged Zhu Yunxuan's neck, lying on his shoulder without saying a word, Zhu Yunxuan fiddled with the rabbit-shaped wind chimes under the window and asked him, "My dear, look at this, do you like it? "

Xu'er raised her eyes and glanced, nodded, and lay back again.

Zhu Yunxuan smiled helplessly, Liang Zhen stretched out his hand to hug the person, and scratched his son's little nose: "What's wrong with the little thing?"

The child's eyes were red, and he said aggrievedly: "I don't want mammy, I just want father and father."

Liang Zhen was speechless, what if he really wanted to spank this little brat?

Zhu Yunxuan said hesitantly, "Why don't we take Xu'er to sleep for another half a month. After all, he just came back. He probably isn't used to it here. Let's talk about it when he gets used to it."

Liang Zhen said with a smile: "I'm almost four years old. It's fine if I don't go to the East Palace. I have to stay on the dragon bed every day. I've never seen a prince like this."

East Palace? It would take a quarter of an hour to ride the chariot from Ganlin Palace to the East Palace, and throw Xu'er there. It is estimated that they will have to cut off the father-son relationship with them tomorrow.

Xu'er didn't know if she understood, so she pouted: "My father is bad, my father doesn't want Xu'er anymore."

Liang Zhen: "..." You little conscience.

Zhu Yunxuan couldn't bear it, and sighed, "Forget it, we owe him after all."

So the matter was settled, Xu'er stayed in the west side hall of Ganlin Palace, and sometimes disturbed the night life of Zhu Yunxuan and Liang Zhen, until he gave lectures at the age of twelve, and offered to move to the East Palace. , of course, these are later stories.

On the second day of returning to the dynasty, the emperor officially announced the establishment of the queen and the canonization of the prince at the great court meeting, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day to hold the wedding ceremony and the canonization ceremony.

The boat is done, even now the civil and military people of the whole dynasty know that the future queen Xiao Nian is the Zhao King Liang Zhen who was executed for treason, but His Majesty said that he is Xiao Nian, he is Xiao Nian, and His Majesty said that he will be established Since he will be the Queen of Dayan in the future, why bother jumping out at this time to annoy His Majesty for the sake of Xiang Shang's head and Wusha hat, forget it.

After the early dynasty ended, Zhu Yunxuan left the six auxiliary ministers in the cabinet alone, and summoned them to the imperial study, where, in addition to the emperor, there was the future empress who showed off her might.

Liang Zhen started with Zhu Yunxuan, his hands folded into his sleeves, and he looked at the cabinet ministers who came in one after another with a half-smiling smile. These people are the mainstays of the Dayan Dynasty and the pillars of the country. Two of them came after he left three years ago. Those who were promoted to the cabinet, the other four are all old faces.

While he was looking at each other, the people on the opposite side were also looking at him with complicated eyes. The three people who had seen him before accompanying Zhu Yunxuan on the tour were better. The other three, especially the first assistant, their expressions changed a bit. How ugly how ugly.

Knowing is one thing, seeing it with his own eyes is another, not to mention that this first assistant is also a close friend of Zeng Huai. After Zeng Huai was exiled, he jumped from the back of the cabinet after his recommendation. Sitting on the position of first assistant, thinking of the past, and seeing Liang Zhen in front of him, how could he not be annoyed.

I wish Yunxuan no ambiguity, and straight to the point: "I keep you here because I have something to tell you, the Queen will also join the cabinet from tomorrow, he is still young and lacks qualifications, you can take more care, and I will come down later. Holy decree."

Several cabinet ministers are all stunned, the queen is in the cabinet? The big joke of slipping the world!

After looking at each other in dismay, Shoufu was the first to raise an objection: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is now full, and the ministers and others have worked diligently to serve His Majesty and the court without the slightest fault. Dare to ask Your Majesty what this means?"

Zhu Yunxuan said calmly: "Jiang Qing's words are serious, I don't want any of you to make room, the number of ministers in the cabinet set by me when the country was founded was seven, and it was changed to six after Emperor Taizong, and now I only have I just want to restore the old system.”

"But according to the old system of the harem set by Emperor Taizu, you can't do politics! The queen is the head of the harem, how can she enter the cabinet again to mess up the ruling class, and make the world laugh!"

The second assistant on the side also echoed: "Since the founding of the dynasty, whether men or women, as long as they are married, they are a wife and a wife, and they can no longer easily show their faces, let alone enter and leave the court and become an official. The ancestors' rules are bad. No way! Since the queen is the queen, she should be the harem and set an example for the world, spreading branches and leaves for the royal family, rather than entering the pavilion to worship the prime minister!"

Liang Zhen sneered, narrowed his pupils lightly, and looked at the two pavilion elders with red ears in front of him maliciously: "Mother Yitian? Spreading branches and leaves?"

The two opened their mouths, and it was really hard to say anything. Who didn't know that the prince was born by His Majesty, but...

Zhu Yunxuan tightened his eyebrows, and said in a low voice after a while: "If that's the case, then change it, I will marry him, and the title of Queen will also be waived, and I will ask the Ministry of Rites to look through the ancient books to see if there is any more suitable title. , so the ancestral system is not broken."

"No!" Several cabinet ministers were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground, crying and pleading with Zhu Yunxuan, "Your Majesty must not do this! You are the emperor! How can you marry someone else's wife? Where is the prestige of the country! Where is the majesty of Your Majesty!"

Liang Zhen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Zhu Yunxuan to say such a thing. Even if he was frightening these cabinet ministers, he was satisfied.

Both sides refused to give in for a while, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was a bit stalemate, until there was a burst of giggling from the apse.

Xu'er ran out of the apse, saw Liang Zhen shouting "father", and burst into his arms with a sweaty face and a smile.

Several little eunuchs took him to play hide-and-seek in the apse, and one of them let the little prince run out by himself without paying attention, and the servants chased after him.

Liang Zhen picked up the man with a smile, took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The child saw Zhu Yunxuan sitting behind the court with Yu Yu again, shouting "Daddy", and twisted off Liang Zhen's body. , ran to Zhu Yunxuan's side, and raised his master to ask him to hug him.

Zhu Yunxuan reluctantly picked up the person and let him sit on his lap. The child pulled the memorial on the imperial case and reached out to touch it when he saw it.

Zhu Yunxuan held his hand and reminded him in a low voice, "Be good, Xu'er, don't move."

Only then did the child notice that there were a lot of people kneeling down, his eyes turned around, and fell on the first assistant who was looking up at him, grinning: "This uncle's beard is about to fall off, okay? Ugly."

Chief Assistant: "..."

This little idiot, Xu'er, can't remember what Liang Zhen told him before that he shouldn't call these people uncle. In his knowledge, as long as a man with a beard, no matter how old or young, he will always call him uncle. It was the first time he saw Liang. When he was in Zhenshi, he looked like a sloppy beard, so he was also an uncle.

As for the Lord Shoufu in front of him, he has always been proud of his neatly groomed beard. He never thought that the beard was fake, he put it on himself! Poor Master Fu's beard is still sparse even though he is old. He is afraid of being looked down upon. He started crying a bit, then raised his hand and wiped his face a few times. He didn't notice it, and the people next to him didn't remind him, but he was revealed by the innocent little prince.

The old Shoufu was embarrassed and annoyed, and hurriedly glued his beard back again. When he thought that he would definitely become the laughing stock of the court, he wished he could kill him on the pillar of the Ganlin Palace.

Colleagues held back their laughter and lowered their heads, but Liang Zhen sneered at the slightest: "Old Jiang Ge, who made your fake beard for you, I'm afraid it wasn't intentional to deceive you, right? It's really a disgrace to call you the old royal. It's too insignificant."

The old Shoufu was dying of shame and anger, and the whole person was stunned. Without the slightest bit of aggressiveness, Zhu Yunxuan coughed lightly, restrained the smile he was holding back in his eyes, and lowered his voice: "About joining the cabinet..."

The first assistant has been completely defeated and lost his soul. The second assistant watched him several times, and he wisely shut his mouth when he saw him no longer uttering a word. The others were even more embarrassed. didn't squeeze them out, what if love them.

So the matter was settled, several pavilion elders resigned in despair, Liang Zhen stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pinched Xuer's chin across the imperial case: "You little brat is really useful, It’s not worth it for your father to spoil you so much.”

Xu'er giggled: "Uncle is really ugly, Xu'er doesn't like it."
