Fragrance Returned

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xunxiang moved into Kunning Palace.

Gao Guang has been practicing the canonization ceremony these days, and will come to Kunning Palace for dinner in the evening.

Queen Ye asked Gao Guang to make various tricks in the kitchen to make Gao Guang's favorite vegetarian food. She would add a small amount of eggs and persuade Gao Guang to eat some.

"It's hard work, I need to eat some eggs to strengthen my body."

Gao Guang especially enjoyed the way Queen Ye gently persuaded him to eat.

Xun Xiang would be deliberately jealous and said with a pout, "Oh, the Queen's grandmother has the Eighth Emperor's uncle, so I have to take a back seat."

Queen Ye was overjoyed and said angrily, "I'm about to get married, and I'm still jealous of my uncle."

Gao Guang smiled proudly.

After the meal, Gao Guang would talk about what happened during the day, some happy and some confused. Queen Ye listened very carefully, happily rejoicing with him, and confused as she told him how to deal with it.

After dinner on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gao Guang felt a little uncomfortable. He would pull the sleeves of Queen Ye and Xun Xiang from time to time, and his eye circles were a little red.

He will live in the East Palace after the ceremony tomorrow, and there will be much less chance of meeting them.

Highlighting and emphasizing affection are the advantages of a king and he will be a benevolent king.

Sometimes it's his weakness.

Queen Ye was excited but also a little disappointed. This son was considerate.

She pulled Gao Guang into her arms and said, "I know that you are a good boy who is benevolent and righteous. When you become the prince, you are a blessing to the people and a blessing to Dali. The responsibility is great, and you must learn from the emperor and teachers how to govern the country." "

Gao Guang nodded heavily, "Yeah."

From the day after tomorrow, as the crown prince, he will not go to the study room to study. Instead, he will be accompanied by an attendant to "lecture" in the Wenhua Hall.

The prince's study is divided into two stages, "enlightenment study" before the age of eight, and "lectures outside the cabinet" after the age of eight.

It's all learning, just called it differently.

The prince's chamberlains were several Hanlin Academy officials, including Xun Yibo.

He also had several teachers designated by the emperor who took turns teaching, including Xie Shoufu, Zhang Shangshu, Song Hanlin and others.

Not only should we talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, but we should also talk about the strategies for governing the country.

The two senior brothers who taught Hong Yi before were rewarded with one thousand taels of gold each, were appointed to other official positions, and no longer taught the prince.

While Xunxiang was happy for Uncle Xiaoba, she was also disappointed.

There will be less time to see each other in the future.

Xunxiang sent Gao Guang to Wuyang Palace, and Gao Guang stubbornly sent Xunxiang to Kunning Palace.

Seeing the figure disappear into the night, Xunxiang sighed.

In such a huge palace, the relationships that should be close cannot be close.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sun was shining high, the sky was blue, and the white snow on the roof was particularly dazzling by the sunlight.

Xunxiang supported Queen Ye and stood in the corridor of Kunning Palace. They were dressed in heavy makeup and couldn't hide their excitement when they heard the faint sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of salutes.

At this time, the grand ceremony for canonizing the prince was held grandly in Fengtian Hall.

Xun Xiang imagined Gao Guang wearing a nine-stringed crown and a golden five-clawed python robe, and was filled with emotion.

The cute little monk who was suffering from a strange poison many years ago and longed for family affection became the crown prince.

And among those princes who fought for the crown prince at all costs, some were killed, some were imprisoned, and some were seriously ill.

A young monk who never thought about imperial power had the last laugh.

No one is too strong to survive! This sentence is idealistic and cruel, but it is an unavoidable reality.

Although there is plenty of sunshine, the cold wind is still biting.

After standing for a while, Xunxiang helped Queen Ye into the palace to rest.

Before sunset, Eunuch An reminded, "My dear, it's time."

Before the ceremony ends, the prince will pay homage to his mother in the Fengtian Palace, and the officials will also congratulate the queen.

The queen stood up and went to the center of the courtyard, facing the Fengtian Hall to receive the prince's remote worship and congratulations.

After the ceremony, the prince went directly to the East Palace to live.

The emperor did not come in the evening, and only Xunxiang accompanied Queen Ye to dinner.

Queen Ye said, "I'm used to Xiaoba coming to eat every day, but I'm not used to Leng Ding not coming. I'll leave tomorrow when Xiangxiang leaves, and it will be quieter here."

Xun Xiang comforted, "The prince can come one day every ten days, and the emperor's grandfather, my mother, and I will come occasionally..."

Queen Ye said, "I have relatives and wives coming to see me. I am better off than the women in the palace, so I must cherish my blessings..."

The next day Xunxiang left the palace.

On the way, she was still thinking about the dream she had yesterday.

It wasn't a fragrant dream, it was a normal dream. She actually dreamed of Xun Feng.

They still looked like they did when the two families recognized each other at the Jinwuwei Yamen, holding Dongyang's clothes stubbornly and refusing to let go no matter how hard Dongyang pushed...

There is one spot left this year and it’s time to use it.

Xun Xiang came to the palace gate, and Jiang Xi, who was waiting here, reported in a low voice, "Princess Princess, Duke Qiu has something important to do with the Princess. He will go to the Fourth Grade Study Room early this afternoon."

What important thing could Qiu Wangzhi want to do with him?

The only secret between them is that they all know that Dong Yihe is still alive...

Could it be that something happened to Daddy Dong?

I don't think so. Daddy Dong has completely cut off contact with Dali. Even Dong Ping doesn't know about him, so how could Qiu Wangzhi know about it.

Xunxiang got into the car feeling anxious.

As soon as they returned to Ziyuan, they saw Feifei and Shuangshuang chasing and playing with Heiwa.

Xunxiang was in a bright mood again after not seeing this couple for nearly half a month.

He walked over and smoothed Shuangshuang's hair first, then smoothed Feifei's hair, and said angrily, "Either when I go into the mountains or when I'm visiting, I feel so wild."

Shuangshuang was blinded and could not understand.

Feifei didn't understand the first half, but he understood the second half, and called Xunxiang "quack" several times unhappily.

It means that you won’t play with us or let us smell the fragrance when you come back. Of course we have to find a fun place to play.

Xunxiang probably understood what it meant and pinched its head with her arms.

Feifei figured it out, and excitedly spread his wings and ran around and around, with Shuangshuang and Heiwa running behind it.

Aunt Wei reported in a low voice, "The princess has gone to the Xun Mansion. It seems that Sister You is sick again."

Xun You is the daughter of Xun Yitang. She was in poor health due to premature birth.

Now Princess Dongyang is determined to be a good wife and will go back to the Xun Mansion whenever something happens.

Xunxiang also felt sorry for her little niece, who was just over three months old and had been taking medicine continuously.

But I can’t eat the little Ganoderma lucidum on my hand.

After lunch, Xunxiang went to Sipin Study Room.

She had just waited in her private room for less than two quarters of an hour when Qiu Wangzhi arrived.

He was wearing the official uniform of a second-grade military attaché, which made him more stable and majestic.

Qiu Wang had only been promoted two days ago, and became the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard and the envoy of the North Town Fusi.

Xun Xiang stood up and said with a smile, "Qiu Guogong has achieved great success at a young age and has a bright future."

Qiu Wangzhi cupped his hands toward the palace, and said with a smile on his lips, "The grace is so great! Qiu is so loyal and willing to do whatever it takes for the emperor to do anything for him."

The flattery is serious.

The two of them sat down and Qiu Wangzhi whispered, "According to reports, a top-notch shopkeeper suddenly appeared in Qinyin Tower in Qianzhou last month, named Li Wanwan."

PS: There is only one chapter today, sorry. The author has something to do and will take eight days off. I will update as normal on the 26th.
