First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 493 Going to Court



Chapter 493 Going to Court

Chen Jianian immediately stood up, bowed, and ran out the door.

His mother's look made him feel uncomfortable, as if his whole body had grown hair. He had no choice but to run away first.

His servant heard the news that his master had returned home and had been waiting outside early. When he saw Chen Jianian coming out, he hurried out from the dark to greet her.

"Master, you have suffered a lot!" He looked around at Chen Jianian. Although he said this, Chen Jianian's clothes were clean and there was no sign of imprisonment on his body.

So he grinned in his heart. His master was of such high status that the people in the Ministry of Justice probably wouldn't dare to do anything to him.

"What bad luck!" Chen Jianian shook his sleeves, sniffed the smell on his body, and said with disgust, "Hurry up and prepare some water, your master needs to take a bath!"

"Hey, hey, hey, the water is ready!" The servant nodded hurriedly, then lowered his voice and laughed, "Even the young lady who will accompany the master in the bath has been found. She has changed into clothes from our mansion and was brought in from the back! Master, don't worry, the family hasn't been keeping a close eye on it these days, so His Highness won't find out!"

When Chen Jianian heard this, he immediately laughed.

He was taken away by the Ministry of Justice these days. Although he was only locked up in a small room in the Ministry of Justice and provided with good food and drink for two days, he had already become insignificant.

Now that he came out, he thought he would be beaten by his father, but his father just took him to the princess's mansion, and his mother didn't even care about him. This was like pie falling from the sky!

And so on!

Chen Jianian quickly hooked her servant's neck and walked towards her yard.

Chen Jianian had a wild and noisy night at home and fell into a sound sleep in the early morning. The prostitutes who were called by the servants were secretly sent away through the back door.

However, these flower girls had not walked far when they were taken away by a carriage waiting on the roadside!

The next day.

Your Majesty is in the morning court, and Wei Ling is also here today.

He is the Marquis of Zhenbei. If he returns to the capital, he should attend the morning court like other court officials.

However, as soon as he arrived in the capital, His Majesty summoned him to the palace and had a detailed talk to appease him. Not only did he commend him for his many years of achievements at the border, but he also exempted him from the morning court for one and a half months, which was equivalent to giving him a vacation.

Now that the time for the morning court session has come, he should attend.

He could have used the excuse of a relapse of his old illness to ask His Majesty to continue to skip the morning court session, but with so much excitement in the capital recently, he felt it was still difficult for him to get up early and attend the court session.

After all, there is a hungry and hungry crowd at home, Su Jixiang.

Recently, the undercurrents in the court have come to light, and he and Su Jixiang don't want to miss out on this good show.

Wei Ling came, and Prince Chenliu also came.

Even Xue Ziyi appeared in the lounge in front of the court.

Xue Ziyi's skin was as white as snow, and he was also given the title of Purple Marquis. So he wore a purple court robe and stood among a group of military generals while talking to Wei Ling.

His face was as beautiful as a spring flower, even prettier than that of a girl. If it weren't for his raised eyebrows that carried an unquestionable heroic air, people would probably believe that he was a woman disguised as a man.

"When did you arrive in Beijing?" Wei Ling asked with a smile, looking at his childhood companion whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Just two days ago." Xue Ziyi laughed, "I heard your old illness relapsed?" He raised his hand as if to punch Wei Ling in the chest, but Wei Ling quickly waved his hand, "Spare me, if you hit me with that punch, I'd probably be bedridden for a few days! I'm just barely able to move now!"

"You are so weak, are you going back to the north?" Xue Ziyi retracted his fist.

"That depends on your majesty's arrangements." Wei Ling said.

The two people looked at each other and understood each other tacitly, that walls have ears.

They both studied at the Imperial College when they were young. Both of them were outstanding figures and came from wealthy families, so they were called the Twin Pillars of the Imperial College.

However, both of them later encountered misfortunes in their families. One was exiled to the north, and the other was exiled to the southern barbarian land.

When Emperor Longchang, who was then the King of Huainan, started a rebellion, Wei Ling joined Emperor Longchang's team. Xue Ziyi also formed his own team at that time. When he heard that Wei Ling was on Emperor Longchang's side, he decisively came to join Emperor Longchang.

It can be said that if Wei Ling had not helped the King of Huainan, Xue Ziyi would probably have gone to help the King of Chenliu.

The reason why he helped King Huainan was very simple. He didn't want to fight with Wei Ling on the battlefield.

His family and friends were almost gone, and only Wei Ling represented the best years of his youth in his heart. Besides, Wei Ling fought without regard for his life, and he didn't want to become an enemy of a madman like Wei Ling!

"I heard that my sister-in-law is a delicious cook. She will definitely come to visit in a couple of days. Don't hide anything then!" Xue Ziyi said with a smile.

"Don't come! I don't want my wife to be tired!" Wei Ling rolled his eyes at him and smiled.

Xue Ziyi laughed and nodded at Wei Ling. This guy has grown strong now. He even spread rumors about his marital discord with Su Jixiang before. Even he heard it while stationed in the south. Now he said it directly. Isn't he afraid of nothing? It seems that his influence in the north has become quite influential!

Xue Ziyi was sincerely happy for his brother!

Naturally, their jokes would reach the ears of Emperor Longchang.

Both of them are princes guarding a certain area, and both have heavy troops under their command. Emperor Longchang wants to use Wei Ling and Xue Ziyi, but he also has to be on guard against them.

After all, he himself was an emperor who rebelled, and what he feared most was that his subordinates would also rebel against him.

If it weren't for the Prince of Chenliu, he would have had to free up his hands to deal with Wei Ling and Xue Ziyi.

Prince Chenliu also walked into the palace where he was resting with square steps.

As soon as he arrived, the many officials waiting to attend court in the room automatically parted to make way for him.

At present, there is only one prince in the Daxie Dynasty, the Prince of Chenliu, and others have also been given titles, but the highest title is only a prince of a county.

So when Prince Chenliu came over wearing a white four-clawed dragon robe, everyone immediately fell silent.

"What? You all stopped talking as soon as I came?" Prince Chenliu said with a smile, "Today is the first day that I come to court. Don't be restrained. You are all so quiet as if I shouldn't be here." He smiled gently.

After he finished speaking, all the court officials came to their senses and bowed one by one to pay their respects to the Prince of Chenliu.

Chen Xinghe arrived after Prince Chenliu. He did not enter the house, but stood at the door and watched everyone salute Prince Chenliu. A meaningful light flashed in his eyes.
