Chapter 77 The Prince
The one person in the harem who least expected Xianfu Palace to return its favor was Concubine De.

His eldest brother is still thinking about his past behind closed doors, and he is still being rejected by the emperor. Of course, he doesn't want Yan Ruyi to have a better life than him.

Now his eldest prince will be fifteen next year. Once he enters the court and lets the emperor see his abilities and talents, he will have to establish a prince. After all, he is the eldest son.

Especially now that the biological mother of the second prince, Wang Guifei, went to pray for the royal family for no reason. From her own perspective, she must have made some big mistake and was punished by the emperor to go to the royal temple.

While Concubine De was thinking about these things, a voice sounded outside: "The eldest prince is here."

"Greetings to my mother and concubine." The eldest prince Chengyu walked in, and the sunlight made the young man look even more beautiful.

"Get up quickly, come and sit down. Why are you here today?" Concubine De immediately asked someone to get her son's favorite food, and asked as she ordered.

Chengyu hesitated a little, but after thinking about it he finally spoke: "My son went to the Royal Study Room to find his father to plead for his uncle."

"What?" Concubine De stood up from her chair in shock. "How could you be so impulsive?"

"My father only said that he had been given a lighter sentence and did not punish his son. He just asked him to study hard." Chengyu told the story of that day.

"Hey, I really shouldn't have promised Mr. Yu and let your cousin marry the eldest princess. This is a wrong move."

There are many reasons why Concubine De lost her favor for her. Although she knew that Emperor Qinglong hated her for playing tricks, Yan Ruyi's instigation could not be ruled out.

"Eldest sister has already set a date. My father asked my mother to arrange it in autumn, saying it was a good day." Chengyu continued.

"Concubine, do you want to talk to your uncle and let him take care of what needs to be done around him?"

Although the eldest prince doesn't get along much with the eldest princess on weekdays, she is his biological sister after all. In addition, the eldest princess also went to the imperial study room to plead for her uncle last time, so I hope that if the eldest sister marries her, she will have less trouble. .

"It's just a common roommate. Your eldest sister won't care. We'll talk about this later." Concubine De actually didn't care too much about this. The more important thing was her brother.

"Your uncle probably won't be out until after the Chinese New Year. I don't know what will happen to the court then."

The eldest prince couldn't say much when he saw his mother and concubine acting like this.

"Next year, you should also go to court." Concubine De looked forward to this day very much.

"Yes, I will behave well." The eldest prince responded hurriedly.

"Recently, your second brother, please pay more attention to those who want to help. This is the time to build a good relationship." Concubine De asked. The second prince's mother happened to be away from him. If there are any problems, he can help solve them. This is not a good time to win over people's hearts.

"Mother and concubine, do you know why the royal concubine went to pray for blessings? The second brother even went to see the father. The second brother said that the father didn't explain anything."

The eldest prince was also very strange about this blessing, and there was no warning at all.

Concubine De shook her head: "Don't worry too much about this matter. It's only right to study hard."

After the mother and son finished talking about recent events and had dinner together, the eldest prince Shi Shiran returned to Xuanren Pavilion.After thinking about it, I went to the yard next door.

"Is the second brother here?" the eldest prince asked when he saw the second prince's personal eunuch.

"Here, the eldest prince, please give me some advice, master. We won't use much for dinner today." The little eunuch next to the second prince was very worried. He had been there for half a month.

Ever since Wang Guifei went to the royal temple, the second prince had not had a good meal.

The eldest prince knocked on the door and walked in directly: "Second brother."

Chengli raised his head and glanced at the emperor's brother, then nodded as a greeting.

"Today, I went to my mother and concubine's place specifically to help inquire. My mother and concubine said that the matter concerning Wang Gui's concubine was a direct order from the emperor and asked us not to inquire."

The eldest prince thought about Concubine De's words and still wanted to win the support of the second prince. As long as the second brother did not compete with him, he would be sure of it. After all, the third prince was only four years old and the fourth prince was only four months old.

"Thank you, brother, I'm fine." In fact, the second prince was indeed not sad that Wang Guifei went to the royal temple.

But something else.

Emperor Qinglong told himself privately that the concubine he had called for more than ten years was actually a stand-in. Now he went to the temple just to hide from others. After a few years, the people in the palace would have less impression of Wang Gui's concubine, and the one who came back would be the one who came back. His own mother-in-law.

Emperor Qinglong didn't say much about why there was a substitute. He only said that only he and his father knew about it and it must be kept secret.

"That's good, I'll go over then." The eldest prince saw that it was almost done and expressed his position today before going back.

"Thank you, brother," the second prince stood up and sent him off.Tsk, this is trying to win over myself.

In fact, the eldest prince has always been pampered by Concubine De, and is somewhat naive.On the contrary, the second prince, who has not been close to Wang Guifei since childhood, thinks more and does things more thoughtfully.

No matter what the eldest prince wants to do, he still has to show respect as brothers and sisters, and his father is watching.
