The apex pet of the sick lady

Chapter 188 Gentle and Merry Regent VS Puppet Little Emperor (29)

In the afternoon of the next day, the wind in Hui was smooth.

The convoy drove into the capital, and the bright yellow emperor's chariot stopped all the way to the entrance of the Jinluan Hall.

The young emperor, who had changed into a bright yellow dragon robe, came down from the middle, his back was straight, although his figure was thin, his dignified and elegant character already had a faintly compelling aura.

The loyal minister lowered his head and did not dare to look directly. He might have sensed the aura and felt a little terrified in his heart.

I haven't seen you for a few months, but His Majesty has grown to this point.

Really the talent of the emperor.

In the past, she was suppressed by that mother-in-law Wei Zi!
Xiangchen walked into the Golden Luan Hall, stepped on the cloth boots embroidered with golden silk dragon patterns on the carpet, walked at a leisurely pace, looked ahead, and looked at Wei Zi standing on the steps, without giving way.

Wei Zi's brows and eyes flashed a touch of coldness, but she restrained herself in a blink of an eye.

Xiang Chen came to the steps and saluted respectfully, "Empress Dowager."

Very early on, Xiang Chen stopped calling Wei Zi the queen mother.

The corners of Wei Zi's lips curled up into a smile, her eyes were gentle and loving, "Welcome Your Majesty back home."

She offered the wooden box in her hands with both hands, and the precious red sandalwood box was carved with exquisite dragon patterns.

"When His Highness left for Huai'an, Aijia said that if His Majesty's ability can be recognized by the world, Aijia will return the power of personal administration to His Majesty. Now, he will do what he says."

The eunuch came to Wei Zi's side and opened the wooden box.

Inside was a piece of transparent emerald green jade seal.

Xiang Chen took it with both hands, and looked at Wei Zi with calm eyes.

From a very early age, Wei Zi couldn't see through the child she raised since childhood.

At that time, because of this, he took extra precautions against Xiang Chen.

Know it's a wolf cub.

If one is not careful, he will bite back.

It's just to guard against coming and going, but he still took the right from him.

But it doesn't matter.

If you can take it away, you may not be able to keep it.

Wei Zi carelessly helped the hairpin, looking at the jade seal held by Xiang Chen, a dark look flashed across her eyes.

It's hers, and it will come back to her sooner or later.

After the morning court, Xiangchen came to the imperial study to explain other government affairs with Wei Zi.

For example, some memorials.

Wei Zi was dealing with all these before.

The workload is huge and complicated, and it will not be possible for Xiangchen to master it in a short while.

After a few days, the Imperial Study Room completely became Xiang Chen's territory.

Wei Zi no longer listened to politics behind the curtain, she was just a powerless empress dowager in the harem.

Although there are quite a few courtiers in the court who belong to her.

But now that she has shifted from the front to the back, all contact with these people must be completely cut off, at least on the surface.

Once caught, her contacts with those courtiers can easily be charged with infidelity, fighting for power, forming cliques for personal gain, and forming cliques.

After all, women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics.

Many courtiers of Wei Zi's party even saw that Xiang Chen had seized her power, and out of fear, they did not stand in her team.

Either remain neutral, or defect to the Regent.

They didn't dare to stand with Chen, after all, he was Wei Zi's person before, who knows if he will have a grudge?
If you go there, you will not be trusted, and you may even be retaliated against, so it is better to stand on the regent's side.

Everyone knows what kind of temperament the regent is.

Standing aloof from the world, indifferent to fame and fortune.

You don't have to worry about your life being in danger, and you don't have to make trouble when you stand by her side.

Although it can't be said that you can't get more benefits like Wei Zi's, but at least it's safe.

For a while, the two forces that were previously indistinguishable from top to bottom can now see their obvious strengths and weaknesses.

And the royalist party, which survived in the cracks, gradually grew stronger when everyone was ignorant.

Yihexuan.

Yihexuan is a small building on the water. There is a long wooden bridge leading from the bank to the middle of the small building. Under the wooden bridge is a blue lake.

Bamboo forests are planted around this lake. The quiet green color swayed gently in the wind, and the bamboo leaves rubbed against each other to make a comfortable rustling sound.

This was built by the first emperor before his death, saying that he was going to abdicate early and become the Supreme Emperor, so he moved to this beautiful and elegant place to enjoy his old age.

It's just a pity that he passed away just after the Yihexuan was built.

The breeze is blowing, refreshing and pleasant.

Xiangchen and Xun Qi were sitting outside, facing each other, with a chessboard in the middle, it seemed that the situation had been playing for some time.

Xun Qi put down the chess pieces, "Recently, it's very peaceful over there. The queen mother moved to Yaohua Palace, and her movements were restricted. Those people outside couldn't receive any news, so they didn't dare to do anything, and they didn't know how the queen mother was in the harem. It must have started to get messy."

Wei Zi moved to the palace near the Imperial Study for the convenience of handling political affairs.

After returning the power to Xiangchen, he moved back to Yaohua Palace.

That is the real harem, far away from the previous court, far away from the center of power, and she cannot hear any news from the court.

Xiang Chen said "En", and the corners of his snow-white clothes swayed gently in the breeze.

Now Xun Qi has entered the court and is an eighth-rank civil servant.

Xun Qi looked up at the young man's calm and composed appearance, stopped talking about these troublesome things, and concentrated on playing chess.

Today, Xiangchen didn't wear a dragon robe, but a clean and simple white brocade robe. It was not warm yet, he was dressed very thinly, and his figure was thin, but his back was always straight, with a kind of toughness that would never bend down. feel.

After a while, footsteps came.

Xun Qi looked towards the shore, "Vice Envoy Yan is here."

Yan Zhe was wearing a blue robe. Compared with the precocious Xiang Chen, who had an old-fashioned and indifferent temperament, and Xun Qi who was steady and slightly sinister, Yan Zhe was more in line with the appearance of a young man of this age, clear and handsome, frank and sincere.

Xiang Chen concentrated on playing chess.

Yan Zhe came to them and sat down, "The regent is back."

After speaking, he picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, taking a sip.

In a word, the air was silent for a while.

"pat-"

A chess piece held in the youth's light white jade finger fell on the chessboard.

After a few seconds, he reacted, picked up the chess piece, and put it where it should be.

If it weren't for the mistake just now, he could only see calmness and tranquility in the young man.

Xiang Chen: "Continue."

Xun Qi and Yan Zhe looked at each other and remained silent.

Xun Qi continued to play chess with Xiang Chen.

Yan Zhe had no idea what happened between Xiang Chen and the regent.

Xun Qi, who has been building Sichuan City, knows something, but not much.

He knew that the regent had a good relationship with Xiangchen.

I have also heard a few rumors that the two of them have a good relationship with Long Yang, that kind of relationship.

But after getting along with Xiang Chen, Xun Qi didn't believe the rumor at all.

He has great ambitions and has things to do, and he will not allow anyone or anything to block his steps, including the unacceptable love affair.

But think about it from another angle.

The power of the regent king is in the hands of the opposition. If His Majesty wants power and pretends to bow down to the regent king to obtain results, with his forbearing temperament, he may not be unable to do so.

Xiang Chen played chess without showing any obvious emotion on his face.

This young boy is already a hidden emperor.

After a while, Yan Zhe continued: "When I came back from outside the city, I ran into the Prince Regent at the gate of the city. I only took a quick glance and saw her walking in the direction of Zuimeng Street before I confirmed it."

　In order not to be blocked, "she" is commonly used to describe fables.
