Chapter 647 The Eighth Prince Enters the Palace

On August 12, the sweet osmanthus was fragrant and the weather was fine.

At the beginning of the Mao hour, Sun Yumu and Qiu Wangzhi were ordered by the emperor to lead a team of imperial guards and Jinwu guards to Puguang Temple to return to secular life.

Kunning Palace was decorated with lights and was full of joy. Xun Xiang and Dongyang accompanied Queen Ye in Kunning Palace and waited anxiously.

The eighth prince returned to secular life today. After entering the palace, he went to the Jinluan Palace first and met the emperor in the presence of the ministers. Then the emperor accompanied him to Kunning Palace to meet Queen Ye and recorded him under Queen Ye's name.

Queen Ye was still excited. She had never given birth to a son in this life, but she didn't expect to have another son in this way at such an old age.

Although it was a registered name, the child's biological mother was no longer alive. He became a nun at the age of two. He has a calm temperament and a deep relationship with Xiangxiang. They can still develop feelings for each other. It will be good for Yibo and Xiangxiang in the future...

Dongyang was shocked when he entered the palace yesterday and heard that the Eighth Prince would be registered under his mother's name.

It turned out that his father had always favored the Eighth Prince.

Xiangxiang had a very good relationship with Hongyi before. Did she really not know that Hongyi was the Eighth Prince or was she pretending not to know? In any case, the girl once again refreshed Dongyang's cognition.

She also admitted that even if she had nine heads, she would not be considered a girl.

Luckily, she was a real girl.

At the end of the Chen hour, several high-ranking concubines came to Kunning Palace, including the five-month-old Seventh Princess and Gao Ping, who had been living with Concubine Qin Shu.

Yesterday, they heard some gossip that the Eighth Prince Hongyi, who was raised by Master Mingyuan, was really going to return to secular life and would be registered under the name of the Queen Mother.

This was deliberately released by the Emperor and the Queen to let them be mentally prepared.

Concubine Cai, Concubine Qin Shu, and Concubine Jia De were all filled with mixed feelings. If he was named as the Empress, he would be crowned the Crown Prince soon.

The Emperor had already thought of this, so why did he let his other sons fight to the death?

Concubine Cai gritted her teeth, because although her son no longer had the capital to compete for the throne, the Emperor had deceived them.

She wanted to register the Eighth Prince under her own name, but the Emperor disagreed. It turned out that he had this idea.

Concubine Qin Shu and Concubine Jia De were also very disappointed. There was really no hope for their sons. Fortunately, they were just fighting before, and they didn't have much hope. Unlike Li's mother and son, Concubine Cai's mother and son, and Gao Ming, who accompanied the Crown Prince to study for so long, one died, one was half dead, and one was imprisoned.

They were three jokes.

And the other women were just watching the jokes. Some of them only had daughters, and some didn't even have daughters. Fighting for the throne was not their business, and it didn't matter who was the Emperor.

Concubine Cai was still a little suspicious and asked, "Sister, does the emperor really want to register the eighth prince under your name?"

The queen said, "I don't know either. Everything is up to the emperor's arrangement."

Concubine Cai was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. Ye, this old woman, pretended to be virtuous, but she was still planning everything for herself.

Gao Ping greeted the queen and came to Xun Xiang.

Walking back and forth in front of her, he asked with a smile, "Cousin, am I not lame anymore?"

The little boy has grown taller and fatter. He still limps a little when he walks, not because of physical reasons, but because he was used to walking like this before, and he can correct it slowly with practice.

Xun Xiang held his face and smiled, "My brother is normal now, and even more handsome."

Gao Ping laughed.

Except for Concubine Cai's family, Xun Xiang was showing goodwill to everyone in the harem. I hope that after Uncle Eight enters the palace, fewer people will make trouble.

Seeing their interaction, Concubine Qin Shu was a little happy again. Although his son did not become the crown prince, if he had a good relationship with Xun Xiang, that is, with the Empress and the future crown prince, his children and grandchildren would have a better life in the future.

At the beginning of the Si hour, the eunuch came to report, "Report to the Queen, the Eighth Prince has been taken to the Golden Palace and will be here soon."

The noise in the room immediately stopped.

More than two quarters of an hour later, the emperor personally brought the Eighth Prince Gao Guang to Kunning Palace.

Queen Ye brought all the concubines and juniors to kneel down to pay respect to the emperor.

The emperor personally helped the queen to stand up and said, "Stand up."

Everyone stood up and saw a boy of twelve or thirteen standing behind the emperor.

The boy was wearing a four-clawed dragon robe and a black six-combination hat. He had an upright posture, delicate features, and peaceful eyes that made people feel close.

Even with a hat, it can be seen that his hair is only an inch long.

The old people who have seen Concubine Mide can see that he looks very much like Concubine Mide back then, especially the pair of big dimples.

The Eighth Prince was very nervous and sweat broke out on the tip of his nose. But there was no rejection at all. The child had been longing for family affection since childhood, and was still very excited to return to this "home".

This was Master Mingyuan's deliberate attempt to keep his "mortal heart" alive.

Xun Xiang liked this image of him more, moist as jade, a young man.

The Eighth Prince also saw Xun Xiang in the crowd, and his nervous mood eased a little.

The emperor and the queen sat on the Luohan bed with a phoenix-wearing-peony cushion.

The emperor said, "You sit down."

The concubines and Dongyang, Xun Xiang, and Gao Ping sat in their seats, and Gao Mingjing's wet nurse sat on the last embroidered cushion.

The emperor pointed at Gao Guang and smiled, "Queen, this is the eighth Gao Guang. He was poisoned by Li when he was born, and was sent to Master Mingjue when he was two years old. The master not only cured him of the poison, but also taught him to be a kind, tolerant, and talented child.

"He recovered completely, so I took him back. His biological mother died early, and he was only twelve years old this year. I put him in the queen's name, hoping that the queen would cherish him and teach him well. ”

He then said to the Eighth Prince in a gentle voice, "The Queen is gentle and virtuous, and she treated your mother very well before. You must listen to the Queen and be filial to her."

The Eighth Prince bowed and agreed, "Yes."

He took a step forward and knelt down, kowtowed to the Queen and said, "Your son Gao Guang kowtows to the Queen Mother, and wishes the Queen Mother a long life and a thousand years of longevity."

He took the tea served by the maid and raised it high above his head, "Please drink tea, Queen Mother."

The two senior brothers taught him all the etiquette of entering the palace. He also learned that Senior Brother Yu and Senior Brother Jiang were not real monks, but were sent by his father to teach him. And there was also Donor Qiu, who went to Puguang Temple many times, not to find a master, but because his father asked him to see him...

The young man in front of him called himself "Mother Queen" instead of "Queen", and Queen Ye's eyes were shining with tears.

She couldn't bear to take her eyes off the child, took the tea, drank a sip, and said with a smile, "My son, please stand up."

Two maids brought two trays, each containing a top-grade jade ornament with a dragon, a set of top-grade four treasures of the study, and a set of brocade clothes and boots.

The Eighth Prince bowed and thanked him, and the other two maids came forward to take it.

Empress Ye waved to call the Eighth Prince to her side, took his hand and said gently, "He is such a good person, handsome and elegant, and well-mannered. Seeing him is like seeing the emperor when he was young."

As she said this, she also glanced at the emperor. (End of this chapter)
