Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times

Chapter 41

In the lively courtyard, all the guests attending the full moon banquet gave the second prince a lot of face and said congratulatory words one after another.

But what is going on in my heart, I don’t know.

This is the first eldest grandson in the royal family, and in the heart of the emperor, he is naturally extremely valued.

I just don’t know if the emperor will be particularly fond of the second prince because of the fact that the second prince has his eldest grandson?

After all, the royal family values heirs, and now that the second prince has an eldest son, he might have more success in becoming a prince…

Thinking of this, the smiles on the faces of all the guests became more attentive, and the compliments became more sincere, which made the Second Prince feel refreshed, and let out the depression he had been reprimanded by his father these days.

Jiang Libai sat on the spot, looked at King Rong who was overjoyed in the crowd, pouted, and didn’t go up to say more congratulatory words to him.

Gu Yun looked back and saw that the Seventh Princess had no expression on her face. After thinking for a while, he moved to the opposite side of her and asked in a low voice: “Does the princess not like the second prince very much?”

Jiang Libai nodded, and also replied in a low voice: “He has a bad brain, always thinks that he is the eldest son of the father, so he puts on a picture of the elder brother being the father, that’s fine, but he often makes some incompetent things. It’s just disgusting.”

So there was also a reason why she kept a distance from the second emperor brother in the past.

Hearing this, Gu Yun raised his eyes to look at the surrounded second prince. Hmm… It really doesn’t feel very stable.

Then the emperor probably wouldn’t choose him as his successor.

The two were bored watching all kinds of good shows ahead, killing the time, and planned to leave this boring place after noon.

After a while, all kinds of rewards from the palace came down, and they were sent to Rong Wang’s mansion like flowing water.

That’s all for the rest, everyone took a deep breath when they saw that there was an eight-treasure gold safety lock among the things rewarded by the emperor.

This safety lock was bestowed by the late emperor when the emperor was just born!

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually rewarded this to his newborn eldest grandson. I don’t know what this means? Could it be that he has placed high hopes on the first eldest grandson, hoping that he can be a leader in the future? !

However, before everyone had time to close their shocked jaws, they heard Eunuch Sun, who had come here by order, shake his whisk and smiled beamingly: “The emperor said that the second prince is very lucky, and he has his first eldest grandson, so I have to give it to you personally.” Give it a name.”

Hearing this, everyone looked different.

The second prince was a little excited for a while, and called his concubine to come over with the child, and they knelt down respectfully together, “I don’t know what name Father gave you?”

“The emperor gave the emperor’s eldest grandson the name Jinqian, hoping that he will live a long life and be talented, prosperous and prosperous…”

It’s just the only favor of giving a name, but I didn’t expect the emperor to give the word ‘dry’. This word will not be used easily on princes and grandchildren, once it is used, it must really have high hopes for them!

The second prince was so happy that the corners of his mouth were going to the sky, and he looked excited, “Thank you, Father, for giving me the name! Jin Gan will definitely live up to Father’s expectations, and in the future, he will help Father to solve his problems.”

Eunuch Sun looked at the eldest grandson in the concubine’s arms, and his face was full of joy: “The emperor is busy with government affairs today, so he couldn’t come and see the eldest grandson in person, so he asked the servants to drink a cup of tea for him to celebrate the birth of the eldest grandson. “

“Thank you, Father, for your attention.” The second prince made way for Eunuch Sun, who came on behalf of Emperor Yu, and led him to the main hall, “Eunuch Sun, please.”

The banquet officially started, and everyone flocked to the main hall that had been properly arranged.

When the crowd had almost left, Jiang Libai slowly got up.

In the late pregnancy, her body is bulky, and she has to hold her stomach when she moves, and she is very careful.

Gu Yun wrapped his arms around her waist, carefully helped her up, and walked slowly to the main hall with her.

Before the two got close, they heard that there seemed to be a dispute inside?

Seeing that there were so many people inside, Gu Yun was worried that someone would bump into Seventh Princess, so he helped her to the steps outside the door.

Then let the wooden boat move a comfortable chair, and let the seventh princess sit here.

“Princess, I’m going to see what’s going on inside.”

Jiang Libai didn’t want to join in the fun, so she waved to Gu Yun: “Go and see what’s going on.”

Gu Yun walked to the entrance of the hall and found an inconspicuous corner. As soon as he stood still, he heard someone shouting in front of him, “Why is this man sneaking here?”

Fortunately, there was no one blocking her view. When she looked over, she saw a trembling man kneeling above him.

He curled up, as if he was protecting something in his arms.

The second prince stood in front of him, with cold eyebrows, and shouted loudly: “Get out quickly! Don’t be ashamed here, it will spoil everyone’s happiness!”

This man is a second-class servant who cleans his courtyard, he is usually honest and honest, but today he is so reckless that he can’t even clean the main hall. Hearing that people were coming, he was so frightened that he fell down from above.

It’s embarrassing for him to look so unstable!

Hearing the second prince’s scolding, the man stood up tremblingly, and was about to leave the main hall.

Some people frowned and looked at him, then turned their faces away in disgust.

The second prince ignored him, and was about to invite everyone to sit down, but suddenly heard someone behind him exclaim: “What are you holding in your hand?!”

He frowned and looked, and saw that the servant was about to rush out of the hall in a panic, but he tripped over the threshold, fell to the ground, and the things in his arms fell out.

“What is this?!” Someone picked up the object at once.

The bright yellow clothes are embroidered with a majestic five-clawed golden dragon, shrouded in auspicious clouds, it looks like the dragon robe worn by the emperor at first glance!

Everyone froze in place.

How could there be a dragon robe that can only be worn by the emperor in the second prince’s mansion? !

Eunuch Sun’s face was serious, he took the dragon robe and checked it repeatedly, the more he looked at him, the uglier his face became.

He held the dragon robe and looked at the stunned Second Prince, “His Royal Highness, this thing…”

All eyes followed him to look at the second prince.

“This… this…” The second prince’s mind went blank, and he couldn’t say anything at all.

Seeing this, Eunuch Sun didn’t dare to treat it lightly, so he hurriedly asked the young apprentice who followed him to pass the news into the palace.

In the corner where no one was paying attention, Gu Yun looked at the different expressions of the people around him, then looked away lightly, dusted off the corner of his clothes, turned and left the main hall.

The courtyard that was bustling just now became quiet.

Gu Yun walked towards Seventh Princess who was dozing in the chair, and patted her arm, “Princess, we can go back.”

It’s not easy for such a thing to happen in Prince Rong’s mansion. I’m afraid there will be a series of fun to watch in the future!

Jiang Libai opened his eyes, still a little sleepy. She stood up slowly with Gu Yun’s extended hand: “What happened?”

The two ignored the commotion behind them and left Prince Rong’s mansion without a sound.

Walking on the road, Gu Yun briefly told Jiang Libai what happened in the main hall just now.

After getting into the carriage, Gu Yun looked at the dignified appearance of the Seventh Princess, and rubbed her hands, “Secretizing the dragon robe, this matter can be big or small, it depends on what the emperor thinks.”

Jiang Libai suddenly laughed, but the smile was very cold: “Whether the dragon robe has anything to do with him or not, but he already has the intention of coveting the Ninth Five Lord.”

“It’s just that I’m afraid Father is about to get married.”

However, this incident was beyond Jiang Libai’s expectations.

As soon as night fell, the emperor ordered the second prince and his family to be grounded, and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to station around the Rong Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

That night, the guards sent by Emperor Yu to investigate Rong Wang’s mansion found a complete set of dragon robes and seals in the gap above the plaque in the main hall.

When these things were presented to Emperor Yu, even though he knew that King Rong coveted the throne before, he still couldn’t help being furious.

And ordered a thorough investigation into Prince Rong’s conspiracy to rebel.

The night was thick.

Without the bustle of the day, the Rongwang Mansion is now enveloped

In the dead.

In the dark study room, there was only one dimly lit candle burning, and the candle flame danced like a monster with teeth and claws, adding a bit of weirdness and chill to the world.

Jiang Shen sat alone at the head, with a gloomy expression on his face.

The bookshelf behind him that occupied the wall for more than half a year suddenly moved. He looked sideways and said in a low voice, “No one.”

The bookshelf was carefully pushed open a gap, and as the gap widened, a figure wearing a black cloak stepped out from it.

“What’s the situation outside now?” Jiang Shen has been unable to receive news from outside since he was grounded.

Fortunately, he had already made preparations before, and dug a secret passage under the study.

It’s just that the situation is still unclear, and he doesn’t plan to escape from the secret path for the time being.

He had to discuss with his disciple Mr. Yu first.

Mr. Yu took off his veiled hat, revealing a very ordinary face.

“After the dragon robe and seal were found, the emperor issued an order to thoroughly investigate the Rong Palace. Some people under His Royal Highness were already trembling and couldn’t help but want to reveal the news to the emperor.”

Hearing this, Jiang Shen clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk.

“The more you get to this kind of time, the more you can see who is the one who really supports this king!” He looked at Mr. Yu coldly and asked, “Who are there who are going to betray this king?”

Mr. Yu said a series of names.

In the end, he lowered his voice and asked the second prince: “Although the remaining people are loyal, but if the situation continues like this, I’m afraid… I’m afraid they will be implicated.”

“Besides, the third prince is obstructing it. It doesn’t take long for all our plans to be interrupted. In that case, once you are held accountable by the emperor, Your Highness, I’m afraid those of us…”

Jiang Shen understood what Mr. Yu meant.

“Sir, what do you mean, this king is the first to strike first?!”

“Exactly.” Mr. Yu analyzed the situation for him, “Now that His Highness is imprisoned, under the fury of the emperor, the dragon robe and seal will become evidence of your intention to rebel.”

Rebellion is not a trivial matter. Once such a crime is convicted, the second prince will never be able to stand up again.

“It’s better to take advantage of the fact that everyone’s eyes are still on the matter of investigation, and His Highness presses the palace first. As long as you sit in that position, no one will be able to blame you again!”

Hearing this, Jiang Shen’s uneasy heart suddenly became hot.

yes! As long as he becomes the emperor, he doesn’t have to be a little fudao anymore!

only…

“Now the king doesn’t have many soldiers to use, I’m afraid… it will be difficult to accomplish anything!”

Mr. Yu waved his hand at him, “Soldiers are precious and fast. Your Highness has enough soldiers to force the palace overnight. As long as the emperor is forced to write down the imperial edict before dawn, the dust will be settled!”

“Winner and loser, you only have to sit in that position, and how to write history books is up to you, Your Highness…”

With Mr. Yu’s persuasive and persuasive guidance, the second prince’s already wavering heart completely turned to the side of forcing the palace to rebel.

“Okay!” He stood up resolutely: “Success or failure depends on one stroke! After the matter is completed, the king will definitely appoint Mr. as the assistant minister to relieve the king’s worries and problems!”

Once you have made up your mind, this important event cannot continue to be dragged on.

Jiang Shen didn’t look at his wife and children who stayed in the mansion again, and followed Mr. Yu to escape quietly through the secret passage behind.

…

Just after that, the sound of shouting, beating and killing sounded in the capital, waking everyone up.

In the princess mansion, Jiang Libai, who had been sleeping soundly with Gu Yun by her side, was also woken up.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and heard the faint sound of horseshoes outside.

“What’s going on outside?”

As an alpha, Gu Yun has excellent ears. After listening quietly for a while, she said: “There are many people galloping on horses, and…” Hearing the sound of soldiers charging, her face became serious: “Princess, someone is leading the army. Entered the capital.”

Lead troops into Beijing? !

Isn’t that just rebellion? ? ?

In an instant, Jiang Libai grabbed the quilt tightly, her face turned pale, “Mother Concubine and Father Emperor are in the palace!”

“Who wants to rebel?!” The shouts came from outside, making her more and more uncertain.

Gu Yun hurriedly got up, took off the clothes and put them on, and dressed the Seventh Princess one by one, “The situation is unclear now, and the capital is not safe. The princess should hurry up and call all the guards in the mansion.”

She said coldly, “Safety is the most important thing.”

Jiang Libai put on her clothes, stood up from the bed, and held Gu Yun’s hand tightly, “Okay, I’ll call everyone in the mansion to the main courtyard.”

At this time, everyone will work together to tide over the difficulties.

As soon as the two of them left the room, Chunxi’s hurried voice came from outside: “Princess! There’s a fight outside!”

She ran over panting: “It’s the second prince! He’s going to force the palace to rebel! Some officers and soldiers wanted to force their way into our mansion, but luckily the guards arrived in time and blocked them.”

“But there are more and more officers and soldiers in the back, I’m afraid someone will take advantage of the gap and force their way into the mansion!”

Hearing that it was the second prince who wanted to force the palace overnight, Jiang Libai’s heart trembled violently.

Her imperial brother was out of tune at all, but she actually rebelled like this? ! I don’t know if he will succeed? If she succeeds, then her mother, concubine and father…

Jiang Libai didn’t dare to think about it any further.

She grabbed Gu Yun’s hand that was supporting her, and told Chunxi to call everyone in the mansion.

“Some guards stay at the gate and the back door, and the rest guard around the main courtyard.”

After making various preparations, Jiang Libai’s nerves were still tense.

She was very afraid that Jiang Shen’s idiot could really succeed in forcing the palace, and she was even more afraid that he would not show mercy to her mother and concubine.

But now she can’t do anything at all.

Maybe her princess mansion will also fall in the end, and she will become a prisoner together, and everyone in the mansion will have no way out.

“Princess.” Gu Yun held her hand, giving her a touch of peace of mind, “The second prince forced the palace overnight, and he has a bad reputation. If he can really succeed, he will definitely not be too harsh on the people in the palace, so the noble concubine There is probably no need to worry about the lives of the empress and the emperor.”

“What we have to guard against now is that there may be officers and soldiers who fish in troubled waters and force their way in.”

Jiang Libai closed her eyes, she didn’t know if she and the people in the house could continue to live at that point.

Thinking of this, she stared at Gu Yun in the light of the fire in the sky, as if she wanted to deeply imprint her eyebrows and eyes in her mind.

“If officers and soldiers break in, the guards will be defeated…” She grasped Gu Yun’s hand tightly and put it close to her ear, her voice was slow and gentle: “Sister Gu, then I will marry you in the next life, okay?”

The shouting and shouting outside the house became louder and denser.

Under the light of the fire, Gu Yun and Jiang Libai clasped their fingers together, “Okay.”

It’s just… no matter what the situation is tonight, even if she tries her best, she will protect the seventh princess.

She looked at the people who had already gathered in the courtyard, with different expressions, but they were all panicked.

If she really got to that point, she could only say sorry to these people.

Her abilities are limited, and she can only protect the Seventh Princess alone.

And…the second prince brought officers and soldiers, but she still doesn’t know, maybe she won’t be able to protect him in the end…

She cut off such bad thoughts in time.

“General, there are many officers and soldiers outside, and there are still outside the city gate.” Yixing had no choice but to use his star power again, expanding its coverage by more than several times, to find out the number of people who forced the palace for Gu Yun.

“It’s a little strange… Except for some people who fish in troubled waters, most of the people seem to try their best to avoid the Princess Mansion!” Perceiving the movements of those officers and soldiers, Yixing was extremely surprised.

Avoided the princess mansion?

Gu Yun looked at the stiff seventh princess beside her, and thought that her relationship with the second prince was not good, so she asked, “Princess, does Jiang Shen have any friendship with you?”

Jiang Libai looked up blankly: “No.”

“I hardly have anything to say to him, and we just say hello when we meet.”

That’s weird.

The second prince has the courage to force the palace to rebel, so he can actually order his officers and soldiers to avoid the princess mansion? !

She said to Jiang Libai with ambiguous meaning: “The officers and soldiers outside…most of them have no intention of invading the princess mansion.”

What does it mean? !

Jiang Libai felt that she didn’t understand.

“You mean, those officers and soldiers don’t want to touch me?!”

But how is this possible!

She is the only daughter of the imperial concubine, the granddaughter of the Zhao family. According to Jiang Shen’s temperament, he didn’t tie her up as a bargaining chip?

Although it was unbelievable, Jiang Libai’s hanging heart finally let go a little.

He didn’t want to do anything to her, and it seemed that he probably wouldn’t really do anything to her concubine mother and imperial father.

After her nerves relaxed, Jiang Libai wiped the sweat from her forehead.

But then I thought about it, how did Gu Yun know that those officers and soldiers would not do anything to her?

She looked at Gu Yun suspiciously: “You…how did you know?”

Gu Yun would definitely ask this when he knew she was relieved.

Her complexion remained unchanged, and she explained lightly: “The sound of beating and killing outside has been heard for a long time, but no one has actually broken in, which means they dare not come in.”

“In this case, it can only be explained that Jiang Shen said hello in advance and asked them not to hurt you.”

Regarding this, Jiang Libai still finds it incredible.

Because she really doesn’t have any friendship with Jiang Shen!

The girl’s eyes were filled with doubt and confusion, Gu Yun patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: “When the matter is understood, I will go to the prison and ask him.”

Hearing this, Jiang Libai’s panic all night dissipated, she really wanted to laugh: “Are you so sure that Jiang Shen will not succeed?”

Gu Yun nodded: “He is too stupid to sit in that position.” If such an arrogant person sat on the throne, he would look down on the one in his current position too much.

Jiang Libai agreed very much with what Gu Yun said, “You are right. If he can really accomplish something, then heaven will destroy our country of Yu.”

…

Things did not go as expected by the two of them.

As dawn approached, news spread from the palace that the Second Prince had been defeated and fled the capital while taking advantage of the chaos.

Immediately, Jiang Libai’s heart that had been worrying for most of the night was completely relieved.

After dismissing the people in the mansion, she packed up and prepared to go into the palace to see her mother and concubine.

Gu Yun took her hand: “Princess, now is not a good time to enter the palace.”

Jiang Libai stopped in her tracks: “But I am very worried about Concubine Mother, I want to see with my own eyes that she is safe and sound.”

“The imperial concubine and the emperor should be safe.” Gu Yun pulled her to sit on the soft soft couch again, “If they have something to do, when the news of the second prince’s defeat comes, it will also follow that they are injured news.”

Since not, then presumably they should not be injured.

“Now that the second prince’s rebellion has just been quelled, the palace is in chaos. The imperial concubine and the emperor must be busy with the follow-up matters.”

Gu Yun pinched her small face, then touched her belly, “I don’t want to be a concubine, and I don’t want you to enter the palace right now.”

Jiang Libai looked down at Gu Yun’s warm hands stroking her high belly, and her heart softened, “Okay. I’ll go to the palace after the concubine mother and emperor father have settled the matter.”

Although he cannot enter the palace, the news is still passed on.

After figuring it out, Jiang Libai called Chunxi in, and asked her to send the wooden paddle into the palace, and spread the news that she was safe and sound to Changchun Palace.

After everything was arranged, Jiang Libai felt a little unwell.

She rubbed her belly for a while, but still felt a little pain.

“Princess?” Gu Yun saw that her complexion was getting a little bad, and quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Is it because your stomach is uncomfortable?”

Jiang Libai nodded: “Tell Muzhou to call Imperial Physician Zhao.”

Gu Yun hurriedly laid her flat on the soft couch, covered her with a thin quilt, strode out of the room, called the wooden boat over,

“Quickly invite Imperial Physician Zhao to come!”

Seeing that the usually calm son-in-law looked nervous, Mu Zhou quickly took his orders and ran out in a hurry.

Gu Yun returned to the room again.

She squatted on the side of the soft couch, brushing away the black hair scattered around her ears for the Seventh Princess, and released a lot of pheromones.

“How is the princess feeling now?”

Jiang Libai smelled the familiar smell, and the pain in her stomach lessened a little, but she still felt uncomfortable.

Gu Yun pursed her thin lips tightly, then opened her mouth again, a little at a loss: “Is it… Is it going to give birth?”

Her pheromones are useless, could it be that the princess is about to give birth? !

But… the princess is only more than eight months old now, not even a month!
