Jiuyou[Rebirth]

The next day, Chen Xi went to Weiyang Palace and told Empress Shen about Cheng Qing.

Empress Shen didn't say anything, although she didn't agree with Cheng Qing and Meng Junze's behavior of going away, but remembering what Cheng Qing's old father did back then, she couldn't think of any way to ease the relationship between the two, she might as well wait for Cheng Qing to calm down After a period of time, persuade her to come back. After all, Cheng Zhen is old, and he might be gone when he is gone. If Cheng Qing refuses to go back to Cheng's house because of the barriers in his heart, and misses seeing his old father for the last time, she is worried that Cheng Qing will be depressed. , I don’t know what unfortunate things will be involved.

Chen Xi didn't add any details, but only told Empress Shen about Cheng Qing's current life. Seeing that Empress Shen was in a trance, she also guessed that she was worried about Cheng Qing.

Chen Xi felt that Empress Shen and Cheng Qing had a very good relationship, and the age difference was nearly ten years. I heard that it was Empress Shen who helped Cheng Qing to enlighten him, so he was considered half a master.

In fact, Chen Xi doesn't really understand how the relationship between women is maintained, especially after Empress Shen has been 'dead' for so many years, Cheng Qing has been a concubine all these years, but she doesn't know that her child is Meng Junze's seed, his cheap Dad is not crooked, he is many times better than that Meng Junze, how come Cheng Qing has not been tempted in the slightest?

It wasn't Chen Xi's villainous heart, after all, he had some doubts in his heart, but Chen Xi didn't mention these thoughts to Queen Shen.

He is not stupid, he still can't tell whether some words can be said to Queen Shen?

After chatting with Empress Shen for a while, seeing that Empress Shen was still not in the mood, he took advantage of Emperor Qingren's arrival to leave.

This time he spent nearly three months away from Beijing. He left Beijing at the beginning of September and only returned at the end of December. This year the palace was deserted. In previous years, except for Cheng Qing and a pair of children who went away with Meng Junze, all the concubines were executed. So much so that there was no need to watch the palace fights in the palace in the past few years.

The lingering prestige of the execution of concubines and evil species has not dissipated so far, just seeing that those wives dare not hand over signs to enter the palace to say hello, you can get a glimpse of it.

"These days are really getting more and more boring," Chen Xi began to complain after returning to the East Palace, "In the past, I could still watch those concubines committing suicide, but now there is no such scene."

Su Ze smiled and said, "Didn't the emperor order the Ministry of Rites to prepare for your crowning ceremony? This time is the most unbearable waste. We have been together for almost three years in a blink of an eye. Are you still thinking that time is passing slowly? "

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Now that I'm talking... I remember it. After New Year's Eve, it's Jingren's 21st year, right? I remember that Zimo's birthday is only a few days away from mine? On the first day of February, Zimo Are you two years old? Sigh... time flies so fast."

"It's true that the weather has calmed down a little bit these days, but it's understandable." Su Ze said, taking a copybook for his son to practice calligraphy.

Chen Xi thought for a while, then smiled, "It should be lively after the new year."

"Yeah, Zixuan got married in March, and Muxue got married in June. Zixuan's couple is fine. I heard that the girl who made an engagement with Muxue is the only daughter of the Ye family. She just had her wedding ceremony. Although She is three years younger than Mu Xue, but she has a very strong temper, and I don't know if Shen Yu knows how to be sympathetic to women." Thinking of the few friends who became monks around Chen Xi now, Su Ze didn't know who to light the wax for.

"In this way, don't we have to deal with Qing Yan as soon as possible?" Otherwise, it would be bad to delay the major life events of a few friends.

Su Ze smiled and said nothing, he knew that Chen Xi was just looking for something to talk about.

In this deep palace, it is indeed too deserted.

Even before those concubines were executed by the cold palace, this deep palace was not lively, let alone now?

As New Year’s Eve approaches, even though there are no concubines in the palace, there is still a New Year’s Eve palace banquet. Now only a few royal relatives are eligible to participate, the princes, princes’ sons, relatives of Prince Su’s Mansion, Prince An’s Mansion, Prince Xian’s Mansion, and Prince Wu’s Mansion. Concubine, as for side concubines and concubines, they were not eligible to participate in the New Year's Eve banquet in the Daqing Dynasty.

These four princes, the first King Su and the first King An are the sons of Wenzong, and now they have passed on the throne to their own sons. The current King Su is Chen Ju, the eldest son of King Su, and Chen Ju is the current cousin. Be slightly larger.

Emperor Huizong of Xiandi was the third son of Emperor Qingwen (Wenzong), and King Laosu was the fifth son of Emperor Qingwen. Although King Laosu was younger than Emperor Huizong, his son was older than Chen Zhu today. The ninth son of the former Emperor Huizong, and the current King Su is the eldest son of the old King Su, Chen Zhu was born later than Chen Ju.

In addition to the old King Su who is the son of Emperor Qingwen, there is also King Lao An who is also the son of Emperor Qingwen, ranking seventh.Emperor Qingwen is the son with the fewest sons of the four emperors in Daqing so far, and this old King An is the youngest son of Emperor Qingwen.

Old King An is now old, half of his foot is buried in the ground like King Su, so he passed the title to his only son Chen Ji early on. The current King An Chen Ji is one year younger than Chen Zhu today, but He looked like a beautiful uncle in his thirties.

In addition, there are only two sons of the late Emperor Huizong, the Seventh Prince, the current King Chen Chen; and the Thirteenth Prince, the current King Chen Wei.

Originally, Prince Ning’s Mansion, Prince Jingwen’s Mansion, Prince Runan’s Mansion, and Prince’s Peking Mansion were all eligible to participate in the New Year’s Eve banquet.

It's just that the heirs of King Ning's mansion have always been thin, and the current King Ning has become the current crown princess, and the heir he asked to be enshrined was still adopted from his elder brother, and he was too young to support the situation.

As for the Jingwen Palace, the old Jingwen Wang Luo Lian and a few old friends went hunting in the suburbs of Beijing not long ago and fell off the startled horse. He fell half to death and is now lying unconscious on the bed. The current Jingwen King and his son are all sick However, Chen Zhu could open his mouth to let people enter the palace, but Chen Zhu knew that Chen Xi and Prince Jingwen's son Luo Xuan were good friends, so he simply didn't let their father and son enter the palace to attend the banquet.

There is nothing wrong with Runan Palace, it is calm.

Not to mention the Peking Palace, this family is planning to rebel, let them come to the banquet, and create a chance for them to rebel on New Year's Eve?Their rebellion was a small matter, and it would not be wonderful to disturb the first New Year's Eve banquet after Queen Shen's resurrection.

So simply let these four kings with different surnames not participate in the New Year's Eve banquet. Since the four kings with different surnames cannot participate, of course the following three princes, five marquises and twelve uncles should not even think about it.

The New Year's Eve banquet basically became a royal family banquet.

Empress Shen held a table in the side hall, accompanied by the female relatives.

As for Chen Xi and Chen Zhu, in the main hall, apart from Chen Zhu, Chen Xi Su Ze and their son Chen Lan, there are only princes and princes.

As for the married Princess Fu'an and Princess Jiahui, neither of them came.

Princess Fu'an is fine here, but Princess Jiahui is pregnant, so pay more attention in the first three months.

The New Year's Eve banquet is nothing more than a group of people watching the night together, and after half an hour, it slowly ends.

After New Year's Eve is the first day of the new year, and it is very lively.

But it was only for these few days. Once the Lantern Festival passed, the days calmed down again.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Chen Xi and Su Ze went out for a stroll with Chen Lan in their arms. Although they didn't participate in civilian activities, walking around was quite interesting.

After the Lantern Festival, the seal was opened on an auspicious day, and all civil and military officials began to go to court.

The Ministry of Etiquette is particularly busy. They started preparing for the Crown Prince Chen Xi's crowning ceremony before the seal was sealed years ago. During this period, they took a vacation for nearly a month. Absolutely no mistakes can be tolerated, who doesn't know how much Chen Zhu loves and trusts the prince?If there were any flaws in the Crown Prince Chen Xi's crown ceremony, they could wipe their necks and die.

Chen Xi didn't know that the Ministry of Rites was nervously preparing for his crowning ceremony with gongs and drums, and he had already taken Su Ze and Chen Lan to Cheng'en Gong's Mansion.

Before the Lantern Festival, Chen Xi came here once, in the name of his grandson to pay New Year's greetings, but even if his grandson came, except for that careless guy Shen Yu, everyone else still regarded him as a prince. It will also be very depressed.

He didn't come here this time to pay New Year's greetings, but for a purpose.

It has been more than 20 days since Si Yu was placed in the Cheng'en Mansion. If Si Yu knew his background, with his clever head, he would definitely be able to understand Chen Xi's intention of leaving him in the Cheng'en Mansion.

But even if he wanted to pretend to be stupid, it was useless, Chen Xi didn't have much else, he had the most time, and he could afford it.

Si Yu lives in the courtyard next to Shen Yu. It is said that Si Rong and his wife lived in this courtyard. After Shen Yinghao and Si Rong and his wife separated, the house has been vacant. After accepting Si Yu, it must be because of the suppression of his own wishes that he still doesn't like Si Rong as a 'daughter-in-law', otherwise this yard would not have been vacant since Si Rong and his wife separated for so many years No one lives there.

But even if no one lives there, someone still cleans this house from time to time, otherwise Si Rong's generation has passed for more than a hundred years, and if it hasn't been cleaned or repaired for more than a hundred years, the house may have collapsed long ago...

Knowing Chen Xi's arrival, Si Yu rushed out to greet him.

This time Chen Xi didn't stop him, last time it was because Si Yu looked like he would die at any moment, and he didn't like those red tapes, so he stopped him.

But this time it was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the capital city, and in the Cheng En Gong Mansion. There were people watching everywhere, and Chen Xi couldn't avoid Si Yu's gift.

Si Yu seemed to have a clear mind, and didn't complain about Chen Xi's inconsistent behavior.

"Is Mr. Si still used to living in Cheng'en Gong's mansion?" Chen Xi didn't directly cut to the point, but asked with a smile.

Su Ze never interrupted when Chen Xi was talking, but just stared at Si Yu with a heavy expression, that glance made Si Yu's hair stand on end, and he almost lost his composure.

Si Yu forced a smile, "I'm still used to it..."

Seeing that Si Yu was terribly frightened by Su Ze, Chen Xi glared at Su Ze, and then smiled at Si Yu, "Gu didn't ask you before, I don't know if there are any relatives in Mr. Si's family besides the deceased parents? "

Hearing this, Si Yu immediately understood Chen Xi's intentions.

He hesitated for a while, hesitating whether to confess or not.
