Fragrance Returned

Cai Guishu curled her lips. The eighth prince didn't look like the emperor. He looked like Concubine Mide. I thought so, but didn't dare to say it.

The emperor smiled while stroking his beard, and sighed, "Time flies by like a fleeting horse, and in the blink of an eye, both the queen and I are old."

The Queen patted the Eighth Prince's hand again and said, "We, the two of us, have this fate. If you have any difficulties, just tell the Queen directly and don't talk to anyone else. You and Xiangxiang got along very well before, and you will get along well with each other in the future. And those things Brothers, sisters, and sisters, we all need to get along well.”

It was the first time that a female elder held hands and got so close to him, and the eighth prince blushed even more.

"Thank you to your mother for your kindness."

Seeing their loving mother and filial son, especially the excited and loving eyes of the queen, the emperor was extremely satisfied.

"Tomorrow, I will have Xiaoba's name written down on the Jade Spy of the Clan Mansion. I will hold a family banquet in the evening and meet my brothers, sisters and relatives. I will go to the study room to study in two days..."

The Queen added, "Please, Your Majesty, please allow our wife to kiss and kiss you more often, and let the Emperor come to Kunning Palace for dinner in the evening."

The emperor promised, "Xiaoba should spend more time with the queen to enjoy herself."

The Eighth Prince bowed and said, "Yes, I obey."

The emperor then asked the eighth prince to pay tribute to the concubines and his eldest sister, Princess Dongyang.

There is no need to kneel down when you see them, just bow and bow.

Several palace concubines and Dongyang gave him meeting gifts.

Afterwards, the Eighth Prince sat down, his little sister Gao Mingjing was held by the nanny to greet him, and then the juniors Xunxiang and Gao Ping greeted him.

Xunxiang bowed her knees to him and said with a smile, "Xiangxiang has met the eighth uncle. I wish the eighth uncle long blessings, good luck and good fortune."

The Eighth Prince smiled so brightly that he said, "Xiang...Xiang, I can call you by your name."

Hahaha, it’s so magical. It’s much more affectionate than calling me “female donor”.

From then on, Xiangxiang was his "real" niece, and they had a close relationship with her.

Gao Ping bowed again and said, "My nephew has met the Eighth Emperor Uncle."

The eighth prince gave each of his younger sister, niece and nephew a pair of sandalwood bracelets.

After chatting for a while, the concubine, the seventh princess, and Gao Ping left.

The Emperor and the Eighth Prince stayed in Kunning Palace to have lunch.

There were mostly vegetarian dishes on the dinner table, and there was also a small amount of meat. They were placed far away from the eighth prince.

The Eighth Prince doesn't want to eat meat for the time being because he feels guilty when he sees meat.

He put his hands together and chanted "Buddha" several times before picking up chopsticks to eat, always with vegetarian dishes.

The emperor didn't care about him, so he had to get used to it slowly.

Queen Ye had someone scoop out a small bowl of peach gum and bird's nest soup for the eighth prince, and said with a smile, "I heard from Xiangxiang that the prince likes to eat sweet soup..."

After the meal, the emperor went to the Taiji Hall to deal with the court affairs. Queen Ye, Dongyang, and Xunxiang talked with the Eighth Prince, mostly Queen Ye asked him about his previous life in the temple.

Because Xun Xiang was there, the Eighth Prince didn't feel restrained.

At the end of the day, Xunxiang accompanied him to his temporary residence, Wuyang Hall.

Wuyang Hall is adjacent to the North Back Garden, one of the four imperial gardens. It is a bit far away from Kunning East, and it takes about three-quarters of an hour to walk.

Xunxiang introduced where it was to the Eighth Prince.

Looking at the high red walls, the golden tiles shining brightly in the sun, and the countless pavilions, the Eighth Prince felt uneasy again.

He whispered to Xun Xiang, "Please stay with me more."

Xunxiang smiled and said, "Okay."

The emperor also knew that Xiao Ba had just returned to secular life and was not suitable for secular life, let alone palace life. He asked Xunxiang to stay in Kunning Palace temporarily during this period and spend more time with him.

They turned the corner to a palace that had been uninhabited for many years. Even if someone cleans it every day, it still looks gloomy and lonely.

This is the Yishou Palace where Concubine Meade lived before, and Gao Guang was born here.

It was Queen Ye's intention to bring him here to pay homage to his deceased mother. Can a person who doesn’t even recognize his biological mother still recognize others?

Hearing that this was Yishou Palace, Gao Guang had tears in his eyes.

"Amitabha, if my mother had not given birth to a son, she would not have died. And you, like me, have been exiled for more than ten years because of the struggle for imperial power. It is better to be born in an emperor's family than in a common people's family."

Xun Xiang said, "We can't choose where we are born, but we can choose what kind of person we want to be."

Gao Guang nodded, went into the room, kowtowed, burned incense, sat down, took off the rosary beads from his wrist and chanted the sutra for more than a quarter of an hour.

The two of them walked around the front and back of the hall before going out.

Gao Guang said softly, "Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you Xiangxiang."

He knew that without the Queen's consent, Xiangxiang would not be able to bring him here privately.

Wuyang Palace is where the previous princes lived when they were unmarried. The eighth prince lived in a small courtyard on the far left.

He was assigned two young eunuchs aged fourteen or fifteen, an older nun, two palace ladies, and several rough servants.

They knelt in front of the door to greet their master, "I have met the Eighth Prince."

Eunuch An had already arrived here in advance and introduced the palace guests, "Xiao Hezi, Xiao Qianzi, Mother Ma, Qing Yao, Yi Fen..." and then said to them, "I will serve His Highness the Eighth Prince well in the future. I am not good at serving you." , watch your skin carefully.”

Mi Mansion, Mrs. Mi and many other masters were waiting anxiously in the house.

Dong Ping, Mi Hongmian, and Dong Youcheng also came back to wait for news.

Finally, when Mr. Mihou returned from the office, Mrs. Mi came forward and asked, "Is the Eighth Prince really recorded in the Queen's name?"

Yesterday Xun Yibo told Mr. Mihou about this matter. The Mi family is very happy, but it is not stable until it is finally implemented.

Mr. Mihou was filled with joy. He looked around at his family and said with a smile, "The Eighth Prince entered the Jinluan Palace this morning and kowtowed to the Emperor, calling him 'Father.' There is a degree, and the emperor likes it very much.

"My hair has also grown longer, about an inch... In the morning, the emperor will accompany me to Kunning Palace to kowtow to the empress. I will go to the Jade Spy tomorrow..."

Uncle Mi smiled and said, "The eighth prince is recorded in the name of the empress. He is from the middle palace, and he is rightly named the prince."

Although the Eighth Prince is recorded in the name of Queen Ye, the Mi family is still the maternal family of the Eighth Prince's direct relatives.

Queen Ye is not related to the Ye family, and Mi Honglan is the future daughter-in-law of Queen Ye's direct grandson. In the future, when the Eighth Prince ascends to Dabao, he will still recognize the Mi family as his maternal family.

Mr. Mi Er said, "I didn't expect that the emperor played a big game of chess. He was raised in another courtyard and let the princes fight. When the eighth prince grew up, he took him back to the palace."

Mr. Mihou said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming, has always remembered the late Concubine Xiande."

Mr. Mi Hou said again, "From now on, we must be more cautious in our words and deeds. We must not embarrass the Eighth Prince, nor let anyone take advantage of it to make the Emperor unhappy. When Princess Xiangxiang leaves the palace, Hong Lan will go to her to inquire about the news. , it would be best to meet the Eighth Prince."

Uncle Mi's eldest son, Brother Yan, is seven years old. He has always had a problem that he can't figure out.

"Grandpa, the eighth prince became the younger brother of Princess Dongyang, but the third aunt is the eighth prince's aunt. Marrying the son of Princess Dongyang, doesn't it change the generation? Should the third aunt be called the eighth prince's uncle or cousin?"

Everyone laughed, Mi Honglan's face turned red.

Mr. Mihou laughed and said, "The power of the emperor is greater than that of the sky, so of course I will follow the emperor's call." (End of Chapter)
