Chapter 24 Going to Grandfather's House
As expected by Xuanyuan Ruize, the eldest prince's wife used the facial cleanser he gave her. The next afternoon, she sent a lot of gifts to the East Palace in return, thanked the little prince, and told him to tell her:
"Our princess asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to visit the eldest prince's residence more often when he is free. The family should move around more often."
In the Xuanyuan Dynasty, princes would move out of the palace when they came of age, and only the crown prince would continue to live in the palace. In fact, Xuanyuan Ruize envied his brothers who had already moved out of the palace and established their own homes.
Now that the issue with the eldest prince has been resolved and his second golden thigh is secure, Xuanyuan Ruize is going to go to his grandfather's house to let his uncle and others be prepared.
"Go and report quickly, the Crown Prince is here!" The guards beside Xuanyuan Ruize accompanied Xuanyuan Ruize to the general's mansion.
The Xiao family has been in the army for generations, and every generation has people joining the army to serve the country. However, by Xiao Yi's generation, only he and his sister, Empress Xiao, were left in the Xiao family. Despite this, the family relationship between them was still deep and they had been close since childhood.
The young Emperor Xuanyuan met Empress Xiao, and they had a beautiful love story. The Xiao family also became a strong supporter of Emperor Xuanyuan's ascension to the throne. However, Emperor Xuanyuan did not weaken the power of the Xiao family because of his ascension to the throne, mainly because he truly cared about Empress Xiao and believed in the loyalty of the Xiao family.
Now, the only ones left in the Xiao family are Xiao Yi and Xuanyuan Ruize's grandfather Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan had long since given up his military power and retired. His daughter died young, his son has started a family, and he himself no longer has much ambition.
His only wish was to see his daughter's only son grow up, but as a descendant of the royal family, he could not intervene directly. Therefore, he could only rely on his son to silently protect his grandson.
At this time, the general's mansion was bustling with activity. When everyone heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming in person, they all came to greet him.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Everyone knelt down and saluted.
"Everyone get up!" Xuanyuan Ruize said with a smile.
He looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. This was his grandfather's house and part of his childhood. Now that he was back here again, he felt that nothing had changed.
Xuanyuan Ruize walked into the hall and sat with his family, chatting and laughing.
"Rui'er, why did you suddenly come here today?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile.
"Grandfather, I miss you!" Xuanyuan Ruize said coquettishly.
"Haha, you are such a sweet kid!" Xiao Yi laughed happily.
"Has something happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Xiao Yan asked Xuanyuan Ruize quietly, because in order to avoid suspicion, the little crown prince would not easily take the initiative to come to the general's mansion.
The prince glanced at the servants around him, and Xiao Yan immediately understood and waved his hand for them to leave, leaving only two of the prince's guards guarding the door.
"Grandfather, I came here this time to prepare you. I might be deposed as the crown prince. You must be prepared and don't let me implicate you." Xuanyuan Ruize said solemnly.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi looked at each other with doubtful expressions on their faces: "Even if Emperor Xuanyuan is not happy, with the support of our Xiao family and the military power in your hands, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, it shouldn't be a problem for you to ascend to that position."
"I don't have the confidence that my grandfather and uncle have. My brothers are not pushovers. The last assassination attempt proved it all. It's even a question whether I can survive to adulthood."
Seeing his grandson being forced to this point, Xiao Yan was furious. Seeing his grandfather angry, Xuanyuan Ruize explained to him carefully. At the same time, he explained to them some of his recent actions.
Xuanyuan Ruize looked at the two people in front of him, knowing that they had misunderstood his meaning, and quickly explained: "Grandfather, uncle, it is me who does not want that position anymore. I will find a way to get my father to abolish my position as the crown prince."
Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi were both shocked when they heard this, and asked, "Why?"
Xuanyuan Ruize sighed, a trace of fatigue and helplessness flashed in his eyes: "I am really tired of the intrigues and schemes in the palace. I want to pursue the life I really want."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi finally understood his thoughts. Xiao Yan gently patted his shoulder and comforted him: "In this case, we respect your decision, but no matter what, the Xiao family will always support you."
"Yes, Rui'er, you must remember that the Xiao family will always support you." Xiao Yi also echoed.
"Then we must prepare in advance to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes." The uncles on the side also agreed and began to discuss the specific plan.
“Well, I’ll leave this matter to you.” Xuanyuan Ruize nodded with confidence.
In the following time, everyone talked about some trivial matters and shared each other's daily life. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Time flies and night falls gradually.
"Rui'er, stay at your grandfather's house tonight." Xiao Yi urged him warmly.
"Okay, I haven't spent the night at my grandfather's house for a long time!" Xuanyuan Ruize agreed happily, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.
If it were in the past, everyone would have been cautious and would not have allowed Xuanyuan Ruize to live in the general's mansion. But now that he has no intention of being in a position above everyone else, it doesn't matter. There is no need to worry about Emperor Xuanyuan's suspicion.
So Xuanyuan Ruize stayed in the general's mansion and spent a warm and unforgettable night with his family.
Late at night, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi came to the study
"Father, what do you think?" Xiao Yi spoke first
"Since Rui'er has already identified Wuxin's position, let's make good preparations!"
Besides, their Xiao family is not obsessed with the position of the emperor's uncle. If their daughter had not passed away early, in order to let their only grandson live well in the palace, they would not let their son expand his power in the army.
Now that Xuanyuan Ruize doesn't try to seize that position, the Xiao family will be much more relaxed and safer.
