Fragrance Returned

The Eighth Prince spent two days getting acquainted with each other in the palace. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he went to study in the study on the morning of the 16th, and his life was back on track.

Xunxiang still lives in the palace.

In the Youshi period, the eighth prince came directly to Kunning Palace after school. After dinner, he chatted and laughed for a while before returning to Wuyang Palace.

These days, the emperor also comes to Kunning Palace for dinner and rests here.

Through the efforts of Xunxiang and Queen Ye, the emperor was also willing to cooperate. These people got along like ordinary relatives, talking and laughing softly, understanding each other, and the whole room seemed to be filled with spring.

It also made the eighth prince feel a little attached to the emperor and queen.

Xunxiang asked Feifei and Shuangshuang to be taken into the palace. They played in Kunning Palace during the day, sometimes lived in Kunning Palace at night, and sometimes lived with the Eighth Prince in Wuyang Palace.

With them by his side, the Eighth Prince gained another level of happiness.

The Ye family heard that the eighth prince was recorded in the name of the queen, and that their own family was likely to become the future emperor's maternal wife. They were very happy and sent a message to the palace to meet their "nephew."

Queen Ye didn't see her.

He also told the emperor, "I want to catch any good thing, how dare I think about it."

The emperor said, "The queen did the right thing. Xiaoba grew up next to Master Mingyuan. He is benevolent, righteous and peaceful, and has great love. Don't be delayed by those so-called maternal relatives."

He always felt that the ambition of his other sons was influenced by his biological mother and maternal family.

The old couple did not avoid the fragrance and highlights.

They knew that the emperor did not like Gao Guang to have too much contact with his real maternal family, the Mi family.

Gao Guang had always wanted to meet the Mi family, but after hearing the emperor's words, he didn't dare to make this request.

Ever since the eighth prince was registered in the middle palace, courtiers began to petition Zhezi to make the eighth prince the crown prince.

The eighth prince was a legitimate son, and King Kang's party had disbanded, with very few opponents.

The emperor did not agree immediately, saying that the eighth prince was kind and virtuous, and wanted to see his abilities again...

He must be cautious when appointing a prince, as he does not want people to say that he is too biased towards his younger son.

After dinner on August 23, Xunxiang told her about leaving the palace tomorrow.

Gao Guang has initially adapted to life in the palace and has become closer to the emperor and queen.

The Eighth Prince was extremely reluctant to give up, but he couldn't stop him.

He told the emperor, "Father, at the end of the month, Xiu Mu'erchen wants to visit the fourth-grade study. I have heard Xiangxiang talk about it for several years, but I have never seen it."

In fact, the Eighth Prince wanted to visit the Ding Mansion more. He liked the Ding family and the food at home. But the emperor didn't even want him to get close to the Mi family, and he didn't dare to get too close to the Ding family.

The emperor nodded. Xiaoba grew up in a temple and wanted to see more people and things in the secular world and learn to get along with others.

The emperor said, "Yibo, Gao Shen, Zhang Zheng, Zhao Xunwei, these young people are all good."

Except for Xun Yibo, who is much older, the others are only two or three years older than Gao Guang, and they are all in school.

Xunxiang knew that the emperor wanted Gao Guang to spend more time with those people. Said, "Okay, let my brother ask them out."

When the eighth prince returned to Wuyang Hall, Xunxiang stood up to see him off.

The night is dark, the sky is full of stars, and the palace under the clear light is even more solemn and quiet.

Two palace ladies walked in front carrying palace lanterns.

A group of palace people followed behind.

There was almost no sound when the palace people walked, except for the two sets of footsteps of Xun Xiang and Gao Guang, which were a bit abrupt.

Gao Guang stood down, looked at the night sky, and said softly, "I miss Master."

When he said goodbye to his master, he said he would stay in seclusion for a year without seeing anyone.

Tomorrow Xiangxiang will leave the palace again. This family is very tight, with many rules and no freedom... This is something he must overcome, but he can only tell Xiangxiang what is on his mind.

Xunxiang knew that he was not used to it, so he had to persist even if he was not used to it.

She smiled and said, "We can meet in a few days. From now on, I will often go to the palace to accompany you." Then she whispered, "In addition to the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother, Gao Shen and Zhao Xunwei are also good. You can spend more time with them in the study outside." say."

Gao Shen is the grandson of Prince Qing, and Zhao Xunwei is his companion. The emperor said that they were good friends and could get along with each other.

Gao Guang nodded and walked forward quickly.

The figure in the night grew taller and walked hurriedly.

The next day Xunxiang left the palace and went directly to Ding Mansion.

Yesterday, she asked Feifei to send a letter to Sun Yumu, asking Sun Yumu to have dinner at Ding's house that evening.

After not seeing each other for more than ten days, she missed him.

Seeing his granddaughter coming back, Ding Zhuang smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Haha, yesterday I went to Hexian County to see the villa you sent me to. It was well repaired and only a few steps away from your villa. After I went to the countryside, I went to your place to eat every day."

Xunxiang smiled and said, "That's what I think."

Zhang was concerned about the eighth prince, "When will he be crowned prince?"

Xun Xiang said softly, "Just these few months, it won't be postponed until next year."

Mrs. Zhang said something that her husband and son loved to say, "The eighth prince is benevolent, righteous, wise, and aware of the sufferings of the people. His being the prince is a blessing to the people."

In the afternoon, Dong Ping and his family were invited again.

Xun Xiang briefly talked about the situation of the eighth prince in the palace, especially the matter that Queen Ye asked the eighth prince to go to Yishou Palace to pay homage to his late mother. Sisters Mi Hongmian and Mi Honglan were also invited to play in the fourth-grade study at their thirties.

The men were playing in one private room, and she invited some women to play in another private room.

The eighth prince wanted to meet the Mi family, which was human nature.

It's not easy to let him meet the elders of Mi's family right now, so he can meet the sisters privately, take a look and say a few words.

Mi Hongmian was so happy that she took Xunxiang's hand and said, "Thank you Xiangxiang, thank you Queen."

She always knew that Xunxiang had a good relationship with her family and would help them.

It turns out that Queen Ye is also so organized. If it were any other woman, in order to capture the eighth prince, she would definitely not take the initiative to let him worship his biological mother and think of his real maternal family.

Xunxiang knew what Mi Hongmian was thinking. She did this not entirely to help the Mi family, but to help Uncle Xiaoba who longed for family affection.

In the evening, Ding Zhao, Ding Lichun, Sun and Mu came back from the Yamen one after another.

Xun Xiang and Sun Yumu didn't get a chance to talk alone, so they were satisfied with just seeing and talking.

On August 30, the four masters of Dongyang Princess Mansion all had breakfast in Qijin Hall.

Today the eighth prince will come here to visit his eldest sister-in-law first, and then go to the fourth-grade study.

Dongyang told Xunxiang and Xun Yibo, "Let the eighth emperor brother have as little contact with the Mi family as possible. If we see each other too much and develop feelings for each other, we will make wedding clothes in vain."

Xun Xiang said, "The Mi family is the eighth emperor's uncle's maternal family. This cannot be denied. If we try our best to stop it, it is likely to make the eighth emperor uncle feel disgusted. It is up to the eighth emperor's uncle to decide whether to meet or not, so we should not interfere."

Dongyang wanted to say something more, but Xunyi persuaded him again, "Mom, my sister is right. If the Eighth Prince wants to get close to the Mi family, no one can stop him. Even if he can stop it now, he will not be able to stop him in the future.

"Only by doing what he wants can he really get close to us. Look at the imperial grandmother, taking the initiative to ask the Eighth Emperor uncle to pay homage to his deceased mother..."

Consort Xun said, "My son and daughter are right."

He was very relieved that he no longer had to worry about political matters. When his son and daughter's marriage is completed next year, he will be able to go out and visit the beautiful places again.
