small farm girl in pastoral space

Chapter 87
"My lord, the carriage is ready."

The man standing with his hands behind his back hummed, and the attendant stopped talking and retreated obediently.

The sky was gradually getting late, and the brightly lit Hengwang Mansion took on another color.Pavilions, towers, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings all show how precious the identity of the owner here is.The neatly trimmed flowers and plants, as well as the carved window lattice, the candlelight flickered on it, everything looked peaceful and beautiful.

As the current emperor's younger brother, King Heng is undoubtedly a figure under one person and above ten thousand in the entire Beizhao Kingdom.The first emperor had four sons, but unfortunately one son died early and the other died in battle, only the second prince Xiao Xuanyi and the fourth prince Xiao Xuanyun remained.

From outsiders' point of view, the two brothers have deep feelings for each other, but they can guess what they actually look like even if they don't say it clearly.The royal family has been ruthless since ancient times. The first emperor died of illness and appointed the second prince as the new emperor. How could the fourth prince, who is the younger brother, have no idea?
However, Xiao Xuanyi's succession to the throne was justified, and the former emperor had said before his death that He Lianfeng would be the regent after the new emperor succeeded, so there was really no room for him to exploit for a while.

Xiao Xuanyun stood for a while, and suddenly asked: "Li Yu, what do you think this king's elder brother is up to?"

The guard in black who was waiting at the side replied: "This subordinate dare not speak nonsense!"

"But it doesn't matter! This king just wants to see if his mind has reached the point where it is obvious."

"Yes! This subordinate feels that although the emperor seems to be choosing a concubine for the second prince, he is actually choosing a concubine for the prince. The emperor is probably trying to restrain the prince."

Xiao Xuanyun finally turned around.He glanced at Li Yu with a smile that was not a smile: "You can see it, there's no reason why others can't see it. Then guess again, who will he point to this king?"

"This... this subordinate is stupid."

"It's not that you're stupid, it's that this royal brother is too shrewd!" Xiao Xuanyun flicked his sleeves and walked out of the study.The servants waiting outside saw him coming out, and immediately bowed down to salute.

The palace banquet is about to begin.Although Xiao Xuanyun knew what kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, he still had to go.This is the difference between a king and a minister.

The gorgeous carriage drove all the way to the gate of the palace, and the guards did not stop the inspection but let it go directly.Although people in the palace were not allowed to ride horses and chariots except the emperor, there were two exceptions.One is Heng Wang Xiao Xuanyun, and the other is Regent King He Lianfeng.This is the privilege given to them by the emperor.

"My lord, we'll be here soon." Li Yu reminded from outside the carriage.

Xiao Xuanyun, who rested his head on his head, did not open his eyes and asked directly: "How long will it be until the palace banquet begins?"

"About another quarter of an hour."

"This prince is an idle prince, and it doesn't fit his status to go so early. Liyu, go to Shenyue Palace first."

Shenyue Palace is the palace where Xiao Xuanyun's biological mother used to live. Unfortunately, she raised Xiao Xuanyun until she was ten years old and passed away.After Xiao Xuanyi came to the throne, thinking of brotherhood, he separated Shenyue Palace and gave it to Xiao Xuanyun.Xiao Xuanyun's biological mother loved flowers and plants the most, so Shenyue Palace is very close to the Imperial Garden.

The carriage went straight towards Shenyue Palace, Xiao Xuanyun could vaguely hear voices coming from the direction of the Imperial Garden.He lifted the curtain of the carriage window slightly and glanced in the direction of the imperial garden. When he looked back, he suddenly saw candles lit up in the palace that had not been inhabited for a long time.

"Li Yu, go and see who is in Xingchen Pavilion?"

Li Yu's toes disappeared into the night, and after a while he quietly returned to the carriage again, and said to the people inside: "My lord, this is a woman I have never seen before. She also brought a pot of flowers, which should be He is the Kao of this year's Famous Flower Festival."

"Woman? She is the one who has made a lot of noise in the city these days! In previous years, the people who entered the palace for an audience were all arranged to wait outside the imperial garden? Why did you arrange people in the Xingchen Pavilion this year?"
