Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

The matter of bringing back Queen Qin was settled. Emperor You'an discussed a few more details about the funeral ceremony for Crown Prince Duansu Yaohui, and then handed over other matters to the Minister of Rites Liao Guangyuan.

After the court was dismissed, Liao Guangyuan was in a state of confusion. He was worried about his future. What should he do in the future?

He saw the back of King Rui from a distance and called out softly. King Rui paused, looked back, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Just when Liao Guangyuan was thinking about following and having a proper discussion with Prince Rui, he was stopped by Murong Xuan.

"Master Liao, please stay."

"Oh, oh, yes, Your Highness." Liao Guangyuan had to put away his thoughts and bowed to the prince: "What instructions does Your Highness have?"

"It's not so much an order as an order. The imperial decree has just been issued. Lord Liao has followed the imperial order and prepared the ceremonial procession for me to welcome the queen back to the palace." Murong Xuan spoke in a gentle tone, with an official attitude: "The queen is the mother of a country, and the ceremonial procession she uses is limited. As the Minister of Rites, you know it best. I will give you one hour to prepare. Is that okay?"

"This..." Liao Guangyuan hesitated for a moment, and was about to say that it was too urgent and he couldn't do it, but he glanced again and saw the hurried figure of King Rui disappearing, and his mind suddenly became clear.

How can the thief-like Prince Rui compare with the legitimate prince who was born to the Empress?

He immediately replied respectfully, "Yes! I will return to the Ministry of Rites immediately and ask them to prepare the ceremonial guards. I will go to the temporary palace with Your Highness to welcome the Queen back to the palace."

Murong Xuan nodded calmly: "Go."

Liao Guangyuan is a spineless man, but he does things properly. There is no need to be too picky with him, and naturally there is no need to get too close to him.

......

Prince Rui's idea of ​​seizing the throne had just begun when he was easily defeated.

Just now, Minister Liao clearly showed his intention to surrender to me, but was stopped by the Crown Prince... Is the Crown Prince going to target me?

Really, isn't the prince weak and sickly? How come he hasn't died yet after almost two years?

Why couldn't Prince Duan poison the Crown Prince as well?

Now, there is such a troublesome prince left here to demand his life!

He hurried back to Prince Rui's Mansion, and when he saw Princess Rui coming towards him, he stopped straight and suddenly opened his mouth and burst into tears. He felt so wronged!

Princess Rui was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to help Prince Rui up: "Wasn't the prince fine when he left this morning? What happened?"

“My king, my king…” Prince Rui’s face was filled with fear. He grabbed Princess Rui and pushed her towards the backyard.

Back in the backyard, Prince Rui drank two cups of tea under the comfort of Princess Rui, and then he slowly calmed down. He looked at Princess Rui and was very sad: "My royal brother is dead, and there is a hierarchy of seniority. It is my turn to step forward. The crown prince, he is too bullying..."

Princess Rui lowered her eyes and said nothing.

It is true that there is order of seniority, but the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children cannot be ignored!

Especially the royal family... The Crown Prince is the legitimate son of the Empress, and the Crown Princess is well-known for her virtue. Naturally, she is more favored by the Emperor than you, Your Highness Prince Rui!

But as Princess Rui, she naturally couldn't say this directly.

"Your Highness, being angry is harmful to your health. Calm yourself down..." Princess Rui tactfully advised, "When Prince Yao and Prince Duan were here, didn't we live a peaceful life?"

"But now they are both dead...passed away!" Prince Rui immediately retorted.

“Your Highness,” Princess Rui reached out and held the hand of Prince Rui, and said softly, “Even if the eldest prince and the fourth prince are dead, the emperor is only in his forties, in the prime of his life. In addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Concubine Liang now has a seventh prince. If there is someone new in the harem in the future and they give birth to children, everything is still unknown…”

Prince Rui took a deep breath, a look of panic appeared on his face, and he quickly grasped another key point: "A newcomer? ... Then my mother will have even less chance of success."

"All we want is a stable life." Princess Rui repeated vaguely.

Even if there were no new people, it would not be Concubine Fang's turn to be favored... After so many years, has the Emperor ever thought of Concubine Fang?

With an unfavored mother, a prince without followers, and weak relatives, what qualifications do they have to compete?

"It seems to me that the capital city cannot be stabilized." Prince Rui murmured.

"Let's just take care of ourselves." Princess Rui still advised patiently.

Prince Rui said nothing more, and it was unknown whether he heard it or not.

......

Murong Xuan and Shen Xiyue, accompanied by the ceremonial guards of the Ministry of Rites, arrived at the Yancheng Palace at the beginning of the day.

Unlike the last time I came, the Yancheng Palace is now surrounded by mountains, quiet and desolate.

The ceremonial officer had already conveyed the emperor's will to the guards and shouted loudly: "Open the main gate!"

This time, welcoming the Queen back to the palace was the Emperor's idea, and the Crown Prince was personally welcoming her. And since the one being welcomed was the Queen, they had to leave through the main gate in a dignified manner, return to the capital, and then enter through the main gate again.

The guards never expected that such earth-shaking changes would take place in the capital city, and without giving it much thought, they hurriedly pushed open the palace's doors layer by layer.

The ceremonial officer led the way, and an empty luxurious carriage drove in first, followed closely by the carriage carrying Murong Xuan and Shen Xiyue.

Queen Qin stood far away at the entrance of the main hall, standing straight with squinted eyes, looking at the strange yet familiar queen's ceremonial procession that filled the entire courtyard.

Then, her son and daughter-in-law got off the carriage and walked towards her hand in hand.

After just a few months of not seeing him, Xuan'er was as calm as usual, and seemed to be in better spirits and no longer "sickly"... I guess he was planning to take off the disguise of being "frail and sickly".

Xiyue was still as bright as ever, and her eyes were extremely clear and gentle, looking wise.

Queen Qin liked this daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

Murong Xuan stopped and looked at Queen Qin, and everything was said without words.

He turned to face everyone, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Welcome mother back to the palace."

"Welcome Her Majesty the Queen back to the palace!"

"Welcome Her Majesty the Queen back to the palace!"

"Welcome Her Majesty the Queen back to the palace!"

Queen Qin nodded slightly amidst the deafening shouts and said, "Go back."

She didn't have much stuff, and her maid had already packed a small bag.

The bottle of elixir that she had asked the Taoist to refine had already turned into black pills and was put into a porcelain bottle, which was placed in her sleeve.

Without any delay, Shen Xiyue and Murong Xuan helped Queen Qin sit on the queen's carriage, and then the group left the Yancheng Palace.

Queen Qin lifted the curtain of the carriage, took one last look at the palace guards kneeling on the ground and the palace that had trapped her for more than twenty years, then she withdrew her gaze, lowered the curtain, and everything was over.

At 1 p.m., Queen Qin's procession entered the Taihe Gate.

The mourning hall for Crown Prince Duansu Yaohui was set up in the Renzhi Hall of the previous dynasty.

The mourning hall for Prince Duan who was sentenced to death and Concubine Qi who died of illness was set up in the vacant Buddhist temple in the harem, Yuhua Pavilion.

Queen Qin's procession stopped in front of Kunning Palace. Queen Qin got out of the car and walked slowly towards Yuhua Pavilion.

The wives of all the officials in the court had already arrived. At this moment, they were all silent, looking at the indifferent Queen Qin with different thoughts as she walked in step by step.
