Twin Brocade

Chapter 903 Depressed
"Get up." Emperor Qinglong said.

"Yes." Princess Baochang got up and stood upright.

Emperor Qinglong pointed to a chair and said, "Sit." Princess Baochang walked over and sat down, not daring to say a word.

"Where's the son-in-law?"

"Going back to the emperor, the son-in-law went hunting and has not returned yet." In front of Emperor Qinglong, Princess Baochang dared to say that she did not know the whereabouts of the son-in-law.

"You went to Yanqing Palace today?" Emperor Qinglong asked lightly.

Hearing him ask about this matter, Princess Baochang couldn't sit still, she knelt down on the ground again with a thud, and said, "My child knows that I was wrong. Thinking of my father's daily affairs, I went to the emperor's grandmother to ask for advice."

"Just asking for advice?" Emperor Qing Long glanced at her and said, "You tell me the truth."

He was not angry but mighty, Princess Baochang knelt on the ground dripping with cold sweat and said: "Father, the son-in-law made a big mistake, the child is flustered and doesn't know what to do, I beg Father for advice."

She didn't make an excuse to deny it, which calmed Emperor Qinglong's anger a little, and he hated the iron but said: "You say you, what kind of life is this life. Husband and wife, one is prosperous and the other is damaged. This principle, don't you Understand?"

Princess Baochang listened to the reprimand with her head down, secretly happy.

As long as the father will teach her a lesson, it means that he will take her daughter seriously.

She knelt and walked a few steps, reached Emperor Qinglong's feet, raised her head and said: "Father, my daughter knows that I was wrong. I have asked someone to go to the son-in-law and return to Beijing immediately, so that he can confess his mistake to you."

"From now on, my daughter must strictly control her and prevent him from getting into trouble again."

"Admit my mistake?" Emperor Qing Long narrowed his eyes slightly.

"We did something wrong, and it's only right to admit our mistakes to the emperor." Princess Baochang replied.

"Is there nothing else?" Emperor Qinglong asked again.

"Others..." Princess Baochang looked blank, what else is there.

Emperor Qinglong sighed heavily, waved his hand in a dispirited manner, and said, "Go down. From today onwards, you can't go half a step out of the Princess Mansion. The monthly schedule of the Princess Mansion should be halved. When will you figure it out?" Now, when will you send someone to report to me?"

This is grounding her.

"Father!" Princess Baochang was not willing to leave, she begged again and again: "Father, what did my daughter do wrong, please tell me clearly."

Emperor Qinglong waved his hand, two eunuchs came up and carried her out.

In the imperial study room, silence was restored again.Knowing that the emperor was in a bad mood, all the serving eunuchs held their breath and were cautious.

Emperor Qinglong glanced at the large basket of memorials impeaching the aristocratic family, got up and said, "Come with me for a walk." His tone was bleak.

Wu Guangqi agreed, and followed Emperor Qinglong, out of the imperial study and along a small path to an abandoned hall.

This is the forbidden place in the palace, and it is also the place where Wei Yixin plotted against Wei Jiahang that day.

Weeds were overgrown outside the hall, and the lintel plaques were covered with dust.Cobwebs were knotted on the beams of the house, and rats scurried past in panic in the corners.

It was dusk at this time, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, this abandoned hall looked particularly desolate.

Here is the Prince's East Palace established by the first emperor during his reign.

But at that time, although Emperor Qinglong had the title of crown prince, he was never favored by the late emperor.After the Prince's East Palace was built, the first emperor did not issue a decree for a long time, and he did not even live in it for a day.

How could he not know that this is the palace that the late emperor built and wanted to leave to King Ruyang?

In the original Prince's East Palace, the floor was paved with bright bricks, the floor was covered with gold and red lacquered pillars, and the carved beams and painted buildings were magnificent.It's a pity that no one lived in it for a day, so it was so deserted.

Here, he had a final contest with King Ruyang, and he won.

So what if he didn't live in the Prince's East Palace, he became the emperor directly.

Now that he revisited the old place, Emperor Qinglong couldn't help thinking: If he had made a wrong step that day, there would be no him now.But his descendants, it seems that none of them satisfied him.

The prince has a vicious temperament, if he becomes an emperor, I'm afraid his other bloodlines will be hard to protect.

King Qi, no matter how well he hides, Emperor Qinglong can see his suspicious nature.Because of this, he has always lacked affection for this son.

The king of Qianyang was punished for treason.

The king of Chu has a free and easy temperament, but indulges in sensuality, and has no intention of competing with his two elder brothers.

The other concubine princes are even more incompetent and not worth mentioning.

Thinking again, Princess Baochang who just didn't know how to repent at all.

Could it be that the heavens punished him for not having a descendant who could inherit the throne because he thought he was not in the right position?
Since he ascended the throne, he has been busy with government affairs with great efforts, and the original pride is still there, but his body is not as good as before.The chaotic court situation and unworthy descendants made him feel a sense of sadness from the bottom of his heart.

The heights are extremely cold, and the ancients never deceived me.

Wu Guangqi followed behind him, knowing that he was in a bad mood, so he said cautiously: "Your majesty, why didn't you explain clearly to the princess just now?"

What's the use of speaking clearly?

Emperor Qinglong shook his head, and said: "Let her think for herself. If she can't figure it out, she won't come to see me in this life."

She is also a princess, but Baochang is not a star behind Zhaoyang.

If Zhaoyang had been a man, he would not have hesitated so much.In terms of character, temperament, ability, and determination, Zhaoyang is the best candidate to inherit this great lineage.

Unfortunately, now he has to marry Zhaoyang and his relatives far away.

Back then when Khitan sent envoys to propose marriage, it was not that he had no other choice.Letting Zhaoyang go is because she is afraid that she will stay in Gaomang, and when she dies, no one will be able to restrain her and cause turmoil.

Zhaoyang is different from Jing'an.

Both have the foresight and the means.

But what Jing'an wants is peace in the world.In order to calm things down, she knows some things clearly and won't reveal them.Once something happens, she's the one who puts out the fire.

Zhaoyang is different.

Hidden in her youthful gaze is great ambition.Only by letting her go away and leave Gao Mang can Emperor Qinglong feel at ease.

Thinking of Zhaoyang, Emperor Qinglong asked: "How is the princess's dowry prepared?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the empress also invited the Minister of Honglu Temple to the palace yesterday to check the dowry list." Wu Guangqi replied.

When the princess gets married, Zongzheng Temple is usually in charge.But Princess Zhaoyang married Khitan far away, and Honglu Temple was responsible for the relationship between the two countries.

Emperor Qinglong turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to Changle Palace."

At this time, he just wanted to talk to Empress Cao.

Empress Cao is not the love of his life, but she is someone he respects, who can discuss things, and who makes him feel at ease.

The turmoil in the court and Princess Baochang's grounding did not cause much trouble in Beijing.The only one who paid attention to this matter was Quan Moxian.

"Young Master, do you want to proceed to the next step?" Mu Chuan asked.

"No hurry." Quan Moxian shook his finger and said, "No hurry." Let Princess Baochang taste the feeling of being grounded first.

The whereabouts of the son-in-law was unknown to Princess Baochang, but the whereabouts of the son-in-law were all under his control.But he is not in a hurry, it is not his purpose to arrest the son-in-law and bring him to justice.
