Chapter 4

Not only the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, but everyone who had gossiped about Chang'e before was terrified.Previously, they only thought that Chang'e was a woman who had sex with no matchmaker and was abandoned by men, so they abused her vigorously in order to show their noble character.But now it seems that they are not dating without a matchmaker, but serving the emperor!The "wild species" in their mouths is the emperor's species...

"See Your Majesty, see Your Highness!" The smartest person in charge bowed down with the imperial envoy, shouting Chitose.

The others hurriedly knelt down, grabbing the ground with their foreheads, trembling.

Chang E finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the group of people kneeling in front of her, tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth that were about to grin, pinched her thigh, and said reservedly: "My lord, please come up."

After the imperial envoy thanked him, he stood up, followed by the armored guards behind him, while the people in the farm were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

"The room is simple, sir, don't... don't dislike it." Chang'e tried her best to smile, and asked the imperial envoy to come in and sit down for a while, holding out a few polite words that she could speak.

"My minister, Di Yeqing, is a bodyguard in front of the imperial court. Your wife can just call the minister by his first and last name." Di Yeqing looked to be in his 20s. He was dressed in a blue dress without any decorations, and he wore a handful of ebony around his waist. The long knife in gold, with piercing eyes, should be a master.

The emperor was very eager to find the prince who was left behind by the people, and sent several people to bring him back to the palace immediately if he found it.So, according to Di Yeqing, they are leaving today.

"How can Master Di be sure that we are the prince and concubine?" Chang'e finally calmed down and asked the reason.

"The minister has checked for a long time, and there is no mistake. Please take a look, my lady." Di Yeqing took out a piece of kraft paper, on which many words were densely written, and there were many handprints and seals, which looked like a confession.

Chang E lowered her eyes for a moment and said, "I can't read."

Di Yeqing: "..." He had no choice but to put away the paper and explain the ins and outs to Chang'e in a low voice.

Chang Qi looked at a group of neighbors kneeling outside the door, feeling very delicate in his heart.He had previously boasted that his father would pick him up in a canopy carriage to enjoy the glory and wealth, and it turned out to be true in a blink of an eye!

"Little Qi... Oops!" My aunt pulled my cousin and tried to get closer. The armored guard in front of the door immediately drew his knife and motioned her to back away. "I am the prince's aunt. I have something to say to him."

The guard approached the knife expressionlessly, the threat was self-evident.The uncle immediately stepped forward, pulled the aunt aside, gave her a hard look, and forbade her to speak any more.

The farm steward, who was kneeling on the ground, wanted to look up to see the situation. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Youde in the crowd, and was immediately frightened out of his wits. He quickly winked at him to let him go.Thinking about what I did to try to pimp the imperial concubine, I suddenly felt chills on my neck.

And Zhang Youde also thought so.By the time Chang Qi's mother and son got out and boarded the car, the Vajra Sect disciple who had vowed to marry the beautiful woman had long since disappeared.

The mother and son had no property, so they packed a few sets of clothes.Chang Qi ran to the bottom of the wall and dug out a small pot he had buried. Inside was the small money he had saved by cheating and abducting, and stuffed it all into socks.

The octagonal and exquisite canopy chariot is pulled by four high-quality bay red horses.There are star anises on the car, each with a sachet with a bead in the mouth of an auspicious beast, and the breeze blows, and the fragrance is pleasant.The maid wearing an emerald green skirt and a hanging bun stepped forward to hold Chang'e's hand, her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were pleasing, very polite.

"Why are you dragging me? We have raised them for nothing for so many years, and now they are flourishing, so you can't repay us!" The aunt broke away from her uncle's hand, and shouted at the mother and son who were about to get into the carriage, "Sister-in-law, you are just like this!" Gone?" At least let the imperial envoy give them 800 taels of silver, and then find an official for her husband.

Chang E turned her head, looked at her sister-in-law, and then at her brother, without saying a word.Back then, the Vajra Sect wanted to sacrifice her, but her elder brother did not stop her. Later, when the man left, the Sect also gave their family compensation.After all, she owed Chang Sheng nothing at all.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while, Chang Sheng slapped his daughter-in-law to shut her up, blushed, and finally choked out a sentence: "When you arrive in the capital, write a letter to your family to report your safety."

Chang E let out a "hmm" and got into the carriage with Chang Qi in her arms.

"His dad, you're still clever. If you have been in touch with the imperial concubine, our family has hope." The aunt said suddenly.

Uncle didn't speak, but just kept looking at the canopy carriage until he couldn't see it anymore.

"The maidservant's name is Biyun. The maidservant will serve the empress and Your Highness along the way. If you have any orders, just call the maidservant." The little maid in the green skirt said while kneeling on the footrest.

"Okay, I don't need you here for now, go and rest." Chang E sat stiffly in the carriage and waved her hands.

"Yes." Biyun responded, and moved to sit outside the curtain.

This carriage is very large, divided into two layers, inside and outside, covered with curtains.

After Biyun left, Chang E stretched her neck to have a look, then put down her shoulders, looked around excitedly, took Chang Qi's hand, and whispered: "Son, I'm a concubine! Hehehe... ..."

"Hey hey hey, I'm a prince!" Chang Qi bared his teeth, lying on the cushion and kicking his legs, looking at the intricate and gorgeous decorations on the roof, the more he looked at it, the happier he got, and he got up, touching here and there.

The entire interior of the carriage was covered with a thick layer of cushions, and because of the hot weather, a layer of soft bamboo mats were carefully laid out.Wooden grids are inlaid on the wall of the car, and incense burners and books are placed, which is very elegant.

I just searched around, but I couldn't find snacks and pastries.Chang Qi frowned. He had seen the carriage of the wife of the Vajra Sect leader, and there were a lot of pastries in it. Every time the wife of the head came to the farm, she would bring him some snacks from the carriage.

From this point of view, this carriage is only superficially beautiful, but in fact, it didn't put much effort into it.

"Since the emperor knows that you are here, why hasn't he been in charge of us for so many years?" After the excitement, Chang Qi suddenly thought of this question.

"He probably forgot about me a long time ago, maybe it's because of something that reminded me this time..." Chang E curled her lips, feeling a little uneasy when she said this.

The imperial envoy, Di Yeqing, seldom talked to their mother and son, so Chang'e had time to call Biyun in and asked some questions about the palace.

Biyun is a maid in the palace, so she doesn't know why the emperor wanted them back.

"The regulations in the palace, from top to bottom, there are queens, two noble concubines, fourth concubines, nine concubines, nine Jieyu, nine beauties, as well as Baolin, imperial daughters, and picking girls..." Biyun told some basic common sense Two people, there are still many vacancies for these concubines in the palace.The status of Jieyu and above can raise the prince. If the status is too low, the child will be handed over to a high-ranking concubine.

Hearing this, Chang E suddenly became nervous.If she doesn't get a higher status, her little Qi will become someone else's son...

Because of this worry, Chang E couldn't eat well for a few days: "Little bastard, I regret it a bit, let's not enter the palace."

"Aren't you a little fairy? What are you afraid of?" Chang Qi poked his mother's itchy flesh with his hand, and stuffed a candy into her mouth.

Sweet candies can really make people feel better. Chang E took her son into her arms and rubbed them: "Where did you get the candy?"

"The elder sister who sells tofu in the town gave it to me." Chang Qi said without blinking.

"Tofu seller? I didn't hear you mention it." Chang E muttered.

Chang Qi chuckled, Xiao Ru said that the clients who spend money come to eat tofu.So she can be regarded as a tofu seller... right?

After being bumped in the carriage for more than ten days, Chang Qi felt that the ground was still shaking when he got off the carriage, and he was a little unsteady when walking.

The top of the majestic palace gate can only be seen by looking up. The vermilion painted plaque has two gilt characters of "White Tiger".The south gate is Suzaku, the north gate is Xuanwu, the east gate is Qinglong, and the west gate is White Tiger.They entered through the White Tiger Gate, presumably they went directly to the harem.

An elderly eunuch came out to receive them and carried them to a palace in a chariot.

"This is the Qingping Palace, the temporary residence of concubines who have not been graded. The wronged lady and His Highness will live here first. After the emperor gives you a grade, you can move out." The old eunuch said very respectfully, with an expression on his face. But not so sincere.

"Change your Highness's clothes first, the National Teacher is still waiting." Di Yeqing also came over, whispering to the old eunuch.

"Yes." The old eunuch was very respectful to Di Yeqing, and quickly agreed.

In the Qingping Palace, there are two young eunuchs, a court lady, and the original Biyun, serving them together.Chang Qi, who was still a little dizzy, was dragged by a group of people, washed his hands and face, and changed into a light-colored brocade dress.

This clothes is not the prince's usual clothes, but it is much more beautiful than his coarse cloth clothes.Braid her long black soft hair with a blue headband, wear it with a blue girdle, and put on a light-colored jacket to set off that delicate little face. She is really a golden boy, very cute .

Everyone likes beautiful things, even eunuchs are no exception. Seeing Chang Qi in disguise, the old lady couldn't help but soften her face: "Please, Your Highness."

Di Yeqing took Chang Qi and went directly to Zhang Huatai.From a distance, I saw a person standing tall in the center of Zhanghua Terrace, wearing a Chinese dress with cloud patterns and wide sleeves, the hem of which fell to the ground and spread behind him, like a peacock's tail feathers spread out, which is too beautiful to behold.

"National teacher." Di Yeqing and the palace people behind him knelt down together.

The national teacher turned around and saw Chang Qi standing in front of the people, his eyes seemed to light up, he stretched out his white and slender hand, and took Chang Qi's little hand.

It was only then that Chang Qi saw that there was a round stone like a millstone next to the national teacher. The stone was crystal clear and a little blue.This is the test dragon stone for the royal family to verify the blood.Just watching, a finger knife suddenly popped out from the fingertips of the national teacher, and before Chang Qi could react, it cut his finger.

"Ah!" Chang Qi was taken aback, a drop of blood dripped on the stone, and the stone suddenly emitted a hazy blue light, as if there was a green dragon whistling in the stone.

"It's the blood of the royal family," the national teacher announced loudly, looking down at Chang Qi, "Is your name Chang Qi?"

Chang Qi licked his cut finger, stared at the national teacher warily, and nodded.

"From now on, you will be called Chen Ziqi." The national teacher smiled slightly, Chen is the royal surname.

The inexplicable ceremony ended like this, and Chen Ziqi returned to Qingping Palace in a daze.The guards followed Di Yeqing to answer the emperor, but the old eunuch had disappeared, only a young eunuch followed him.

Without chariots, it was still a long way from Zhanghuatai to Qingping Palace, so Chen Ziqi could only walk back.

This prince is not majestic at all, he has to walk on his own after being cut and bleeding!Passing through a secluded garden, Chen Ziqi, who was so depressed, couldn't help kicking a stone into the flowers.

"Chirp!" A clear and sweet cry came from where the stone fell.

Chen Ziqi picked up the flowering branches curiously, and saw a round, fluffy red chick staring at him with its wings outstretched.
