Drunk House

 Chapter 781 Entering the Palace (1st update)

Yan Huisheng sat in the princess mansion for half an hour before leaving the princess mansion.

Qingping and his consort were about to get up to see each other off, but Yan Huisheng stopped them. Qingping could only let Duanhua see him off, but Yan Huisheng waved his hand and said that Duanhua was tired today and asked her to rest early, and he could just go by himself.

So, Duan Hua really stopped sending him off and just waved his hand, "Prince cousin, go slowly. If you are annoyed by the courtiers again one day, send someone to find me and I will rescue you."

Yan Huihui laughed, "Okay."

 After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Qingping was stunned to see Duanhua being so casual in front of Yan Huisheng. After Yan Huisheng left, she poked Duanhua's forehead with her finger, "You kid is going to die. How could you talk to His Highness the Crown Prince like this?"

"Mom, the prince's cousin doesn't have any objections. What do you think? You don't want to spend the rest of your life with me." Duan Hua pouted dissatisfiedly, "He told me not to be afraid of him in front of him and to be more casual."

Qingping choked.

The prince consort was amused, so he grabbed Qingping and said, "Okay, the prince indulges her. You didn't discipline her much before, so don't lecture her now."

Qingping was discouraged, "It's really hard for the prince."

Duanhua giggled and asked Qingping: "Mom, have you seen the jade pendant that the prince's cousin is wearing? Does the strap look good?"

"I saw it." Qingping said angrily, "It's hard for you to keep trying for half a day in the East Palace."

"After the prince's cousin returned to the East Palace, he handled the memorial, and I took care of it. I thought it was very good." Duanhua propped his chin, "If I live like this in the future, I think it is what I want."

Qingping was surprised, "How do you get along with each other like this? I thought you were fooling around and asked him to play with you in the East Palace."

"How is that possible?" Duan Hua looked at her mother, "Mom, you have misunderstood me too much. Am I such an ignorant person?"

"Who are you."

 “It used to be, but it’s not now.”

"Okay!" Qingping was amused, "It would be best if you can get along well with each other, and you are satisfied with it, and the prince is also satisfied with it."

"Well, I feel very satisfied, and the prince's cousin is also very satisfied with me." Duanhua said happily, "He even let me hug him today."

Qingping and the Prince Consort looked at each other, and Qingping asked: "Did you take the initiative?"

"The prince's cousin is so nice, I couldn't help it." Duan Hua said happily: "But he said that he was afraid that you would scold us for being inappropriate, so he didn't dare to let me hold him for too long."

"Okay!" Qingping felt tired and waved to her, "Your father and I are both tired, please go back quickly!"

She was afraid that her silly daughter would stay any longer and told all the details about how she got along with the prince. As parents, they didn't want to hear too many details about how their children got along.

Duanhua nodded, happily stood up and left.

 After she left, Qingping was angry and laughed at the same time, "It's really hard for the prince to be so childish."

"Perhaps, the prince is like this, a dignified and prudent girl, young lady in the capital?" The prince consort patted Qing Ping's hand and said, "Get some rest quickly! You have to enter the palace tomorrow."

Qingping nodded.

 The next day, early in the morning, after breakfast, Qingping entered the palace. The prince-in-law was worried and sent her to the palace gate before going to the Yamen.

After Qingping entered the palace, before the emperor came to court, she went to the side hall to wait as before. After the emperor came down from the morning court, he heard from the palace people that Princess Qingping had entered the palace. He was puzzled for a moment, thinking that his imperial sister attached great importance to this baby. The month was light, so logically speaking, she shouldn't be out and about, except for a few people. He knew it and kept it a secret from the outside world. Why did he come to the palace to see him now?

He knew that Qing Ping always came to see his imperial brother, and he would always go to the Three Treasures Palace for any reason. Whenever he came back, he would either sue someone or ask for something from him. Now he was going to be a mother again. What was the reason for this?

 He came to the side hall. When Qingping saw him, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Brother Emperor."

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Why don't you come to the palace to raise your baby if you don't have a good time? How important is it for you to come to see me in person?" the emperor asked.

"It's a very important matter." Qingping said solemnly, "Brother Emperor, are you looking good lately?"

The emperor was mentally prepared. He hummed softly, sat down and said, "Tell me, what important matter is it that requires you to come in person? The prince has been taking care of court affairs recently. I'm not tired, so I naturally look good."

He really felt relaxed after truly delegating power to the prince. He had never felt more relaxed during his years in power.

Qingping also sat down with him, took out a gift list from his sleeve and handed it to the emperor, "Brother, look, this is the congratulatory gift that Su Rong sent a caravan to Duanhua yesterday."

Hearing this, the emperor took it over doubtfully. After reading it, he took a breath and said, "Is this what Su Rong gave to Duan Hua?"

"Yes, it is said that they were robbed from the private treasury of the King of Southern Chu." Qingping sighed, "Brother Emperor, among the hundreds of things, none of them are defective, they are all top-grade. What's more, there are seven or eight items that are... It’s priceless, you know, my sister can’t afford to repay such a gift, so she has no choice but to come to the imperial brother.”

The emperor's beard trembled, "I knew it was not good for you to come to me."

"Why isn't this a good thing? Duanhua is going to marry into the East Palace. The gifts Su Rong gave her have been put into her private treasury. When she gets married to the prince in the future, they will accompany her to the East Palace. She gave birth to children and passed them on to the royal family. Where are your grandchildren, I can’t get them.”

 The emperor coughed, "So, what do you mean, do you want me to help you repay this gift?"

"Just help my sister pay back a few pieces. The prince said he would help Duanhua pay back some." Qing Ping said.

 The emperor inhaled, "How many pieces?"

 “Depending on your mood, it’s for your niece anyway.” Qingping said.

The emperor was not angry, "But with your help, Su Rong left the capital and went to Nanchu, but she didn't write a letter to me. In my eyes, she doesn't have an uncle like me."

Qingping looked at him and said, "To be honest, brother Huang, you were not very kind to Su Rong when Su Rong was in Beijing. How could you cultivate so much uncle-nephew love in such a short period of time? I can't blame her."

 The emperor sighed, "Those days were all court affairs, and major cases happened one after another in the capital. How could I be in the mood?"

Qingping stopped talking.

The emperor looked at the gift load again and said, "The King of Southern Chu's private treasury is full of good things. This girl Su Rong is very willing to give up to Duan Hua. Let's do this. I will open the private treasury and select a few items later to send to your house. .For the rest, you can figure it out yourself.”

When Qingping saw that he agreed so readily, even if he only gave a few pieces, she was satisfied and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, brother."

The emperor glared at her and said, "How many good things have you taken away from me since you were a child? Tell me yourself?"

Qing Ping smiled and said, "Who asked me to be your brother?"

 The emperor laughed angrily.
