A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Moreover, favoring Daiyu and Lin Ping'an would not cause any problems in the court, nor would it upset the balance among the princes, so the emperor would be more relieved.

Two days later, the ship finally docked and countless people came to greet it. Naturally, the Jia family, who had heard the news, was among them. The emperor had no intention of meeting anyone, but he couldn't help feeling curious when he thought that the Jia family seemed to have someone born with a jade in their mouth.

Daiyu also remembered her mother's instructions and wanted to bring the letter to Lady Jia. She acted coquettishly in front of the emperor, and the emperor took the opportunity to come to the Jia family.

Rongguo Mansion.

The main gate opened and everyone came to the door, wearing court robes and kneeling to greet the emperor.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."

"flat body"

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Everyone in the Jia family received the emperor with trepidation. Daiyu also handed her mother's promise to Grandmother Jia. Seeing the other party's sincere anger, she also breathed a sigh of relief for her mother. At least her grandmother did not interfere in this matter.

Although she was only three years old, she understood many things clearly. If her grandmother had intervened in this matter, her mother would have lived in vain all these years. Fortunately, she didn't.

The emperor also met Baoyu, but unfortunately, compared with Ping'an and Daiyu, Baoyu was much inferior, and the emperor did not feel anything magical, so he gave up.

However, when the emperor met Baoyu, the two children were at Grandmother Jia's place. When the two children returned to the emperor, Baoyu had already left. So from beginning to end, Baoyu and Daiyu never met.

Lin Ping'an and Daiyu followed the emperor to the palace. The concubines who had known about the two of them for a long time tried to inquire about their identities in both open and covert ways, but the emperor rejected all their requests.

Only one dowager concubine was retained by the emperor. Her surname was Zhen and she was a woman from the Zhen family of Jinling. She was an old relative of the Jia family and naturally related to Jia Min.

When the concubine's people came, they spoke very cleverly: "The concubine heard that the emperor brought back two children, and thought that it was considered a relative, so she asked this servant to come and see."

"You are so thoughtful, Concubine. But she is not in good health. She needs to be more careful. Especially, she cannot be without an old man like you to serve her."

"The Concubine Dowager knew that the Emperor would ask this, so she just asked me to ask and then went back to serve." The nanny smiled and explained, "The Concubine Dowager thought that the princess is a daughter after all, and she needs someone to teach her. I wonder if the Emperor has any candidates?"

"I have already made up my mind about this matter, so please don't worry." After hearing this, the emperor knew what the concubine meant, but he didn't want her to get her wish.

While the emperor and the concubine were fighting, Lin Ping'an secretly used a puppet to control an old Taoist priest, intending to let the priest take the blame if any miraculous things happened in the future.

After sending the nanny away, the emperor looked at Lin Ping'an and Lin Daiyu playing, and immediately issued an edict to confer the title of Prince Duan on his adopted son Lin Ping'an and the title of Princess Heshuo on his adopted daughter Lin Daiyu.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, it aroused the jealousy of countless people. The first to be affected were the young princes in the palace. However, their mothers were not stupid after all, so no one was the first to take action.

But soon after, another imperial edict broke the peace in the palace.

The emperor wanted to raise Lin Ping'an and Lin Daiyu in his own Qianqing Palace. The last person to receive such treatment was the deposed crown prince. Now his two adopted sons and daughters were also receiving such treatment. Not to mention the younger princes, even the older princes were a little resentful.

The entire harem began to pay attention to this matter, but unexpectedly, the first person to step forward was not the younger prince, nor the older prince, but the fourteenth prince who was still a teenager and had a good chance of becoming the crown prince.

"Father Emperor, I am your biological son. How can you favor the children of two ministers like this?"

"How dare you! I am your father and you talk to me like this?" The emperor looked at his son and couldn't stop feeling a headache.

"Father Emperor, it's fine that you like the second brother, after all, he is your legitimate son, but what about this Lin Ping'an? Even the eighth brother is much better than him, the son of a mere official!"

The emperor understood as soon as he heard it, that his silly son had come to support his dear mynah brother.

"You feel sorry for your eighth brother, why don't you feel sorry for your fourth brother? He's your brother from the same mother." The emperor said sarcastically to his stupid son.

"My son loves my brother because he is good to me, but the emperor's favoritism towards the son of a minister will shake the government."

"You mean, if I don't listen to you and continue to favor Ping An, the Qing Dynasty will fall?"

"It's hard to say," Yinzhen said stubbornly.

The emperor was so angry that he almost laughed. He threw the thing in his hand away. It hit Yinzhen's head hard and fell to the ground with a loud noise, which startled Daiyu who was standing behind him.

Daiyu ran out on tiptoe and saw that the emperor was scolding someone. She said softly, "Emperor, who made you angry? Yu'er will help you beat him up."

"Bao Bao!" Lin Ping'an, who came out with Daiyu, also spoke.

Yinzhen looked at the two little ones unconvinced, but with just one glance, his anger disappeared and he instantly felt sympathy for his royal father. If he were the royal father, he would also like these two lovely children.

After all, Daiyu is the reincarnation of the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass, and now she has spiritual energy. Any normal person will like her involuntarily.

"Father, I know I was wrong. My younger brother and sister are so cute, no wonder you like them."

The emperor lost his anger when he saw his stupid son change his expression so quickly. He waved his hand and asked him to leave. However, he did not expect that Yinzhen not only refused to leave, but also shamelessly wanted to stay and have dinner with his younger brothers and sisters.

Yonghe Palace.

When Defei saw that her son had not returned for a long time, she thought that the other party's purpose was to use this incident to provoke the Eighth Prince. She felt that her son must have angered the Emperor, but she could not step forward, so she thought of her eldest son, Yinzhen.

"Mother, is there something urgent that made you call me here?" Yinzhen came excitedly. It was hard for his mother to be so anxious to see him. However, after Defei told him her purpose, Yinzhen's face became even colder.

"My son will go back and plead for my fourteenth brother. Mother, please take care of yourself and don't hurt yourself for my fourteenth brother."

When he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he saw the emperor, Yinzhen, Lin Pingan and Lin Daiyu all having a great time. Yinzhen felt his heart sank. He was so jealous because he was lacking love.

"Yinzhen, you've come at the right time. I'm going to have dinner, please come with me." The emperor was in a good mood when he saw his fourth son's cold face, so he asked his fourth son to teach the fourteenth son a lesson.
