Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

On the eighth day of April, the emperor went out of the palace to the Taimiao to pray for the common people. This was a custom formed in the Daning Kingdom, and the route was also arranged by Leng Yu in advance according to the rules of previous years.

As the daughter-in-law of the royal family, Luo Lan naturally also had to travel together. Apart from Leng Yu, Leng Xi, Leng Ming, and ministers of some status in the court were accompanying her.

Among the several princes, only the prince Leng Yun and his concubine Wu Linlin were not listed, and no one dared to mention it before the emperor.

After the emperor's dragon chariot left the palace, it went straight to the Taimiao along Longsheng Street.

At this time, the people who had already heard the news were surrounding the two sides of the street, waiting for the emperor's arrival. This was a rare opportunity in a year to see the emperor's dragon face, and the people naturally didn't want to miss it.

After a while, the bustling crowd quieted down, and a row of soldiers with long swords rushed over and directly built a human wall to keep the common people behind.

At the same time, the general protecting the country of Daning Kingdom, apart from the regent Leng Yu, who has the highest status in the current imperial court, is wearing a dark green gown, riding a tall horse with a serious expression, and slowly walked out from the intersection. Behind him, followed A group of people dressed in fine costumes walked slowly around the emperor's dragon chariot, and behind them were several carriages, one of which was Luo Lan's ride.

Luo Lan, who was wearing a blue and white long dress, was sitting in the carriage with a serious face. She sometimes opened the car curtain door to look out, and sometimes frowned and closed her eyes thinking about something.

After a while, she opened the car curtain door and asked softly,

"Ah Hong, where are you?"

A Hong glanced forward, and whispered back:

"We're almost at the gate of Wangxiang Tower."

Luo Lan frowned, and said slowly with a dignified expression:

"Go ahead and have a look! Come back and let me know if there is any movement."

"Yes, Princess." A Hong took the order and walked forward.

The people secretly looked up at Leng Yu on horseback with a serious face, Leng Xi with a calm face, and Leng Ming who was slightly excited and looked around from time to time.

At this moment, there was a commotion right in front of the crowd. Suddenly, a disheveled woman came out from nowhere. She broke through the soldiers' obstruction, knelt down in front of the crowd, and cried loudly:

"Your majesty, please be the master of the women, the women have been wronged."

Seeing this scene, Leng Yu waved his hands with a cold face. After seeing his gesture, the marching team stopped immediately. He rode up to the woman and let the horse circle around in place, while he asked sternly. road:

"Since you know that the person in the dragon chariot is the emperor, you dare to make a noise here, you are really audacious."

The disheveled woman kneeling in front of people was Xiaoyu who lived in Prince Yu's Mansion before.

She was pale, looked at Leng Yu with horror on her face, and cried loudly:

"The woman wants to see the emperor, the woman has been wronged, I beg the emperor to be the master of the woman."

"Hmph! Your Majesty takes care of everything, you have a grievance, go to Shuntian Mansion to play drums, my lord..."

As soon as Leng Yu's voice fell, Yu Shiming, who was dressed in an official uniform, quickly walked up to the people, and sternly said to Xiaoyu who was kneeling on the ground:

"Bold woman, if you dare to stop the emperor in the street, if you have a grievance, you can go to Shuntian Mansion to beat drums and complain, and this official will naturally make the decision for you."

Xiaoyu looked at Yu Shiming and shook her head vigorously, "Shuntian Mansion can't take care of my affairs, only the emperor can take care of it, please let me meet the emperor!"

"Hmph! I, the Shuntian Mansion, can't control the big and small matters in this capital city. You, a commoner, really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth."

Hearing this, Xiaoyu looked up at Yu Shiming, gritted her teeth and said:

"What I want to say is related to the crown prince, can Shuntian Mansion take care of it?"

Hearing this, Yu Shiming was taken aback for a moment, he looked up at Leng Yu, and asked angrily with a livid face,

"Prince? Do you know the prince?"

"I not only know the crown prince, but also know him very well, so please let me meet the emperor, only the emperor can make decisions for women!"

The emperor who was sitting in the dragon chariot was a little displeased when he heard this, but because he was in front of the common people, he could only say to Liu Xi outside in a cold voice:

"Call someone over."

Liu Xi trotted over after responding, and said softly to Leng Yu:

"Prince Yu, the emperor asked her to go over and ask questions."

Leng Yu's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she said loudly to Xiaoyu:

"The emperor told you to go over, in front of the emperor, don't talk nonsense, be careful to offend the emperor."

Xiaoyu nodded, hurriedly got up from the ground, followed Liu Xi directly to the emperor's dragon chariot, couldn't help but knelt down on the ground again, and began to cry,

"Your majesty, I beg you to be the master of the women and let the prince return my child to me."

Xiaoyu's words made the emperor's originally calm face suddenly covered with cloud. He directly lifted the curtain of the dragon carriage, looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, and shouted sharply:

"What did you say?"

Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, and said again word by word:

"The woman said... I beg the emperor to save my son. My son is in the prince's mansion and the prince has rejected him as his own."

Her words, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, made the emperor stunned.

His eyes blinked a few times, and then he said to Liu Xi:

"Bring this woman back to the palace, I have something to ask."

Since this matter is related to Leng Yun, he can't say it in front of so many people, lest she really say something inappropriate and hurt the face of the royal family.

At this time, Leng Yu came to the emperor and said softly:

"Father, my son feels that since this matter is related to the prince, it is better to go directly to the prince's mansion to confront the prince in court, lest this woman frame the prince out of nothing."

Listening to Leng Yu's words, the emperor pondered for a while, then nodded,

"Okay, take this woman to the Taimiao first, let me ask what's going on, and then make a decision."

After saying this, he put down the car curtain of the Dragon Chariot again. Although he tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger the moment he put down the car curtain.

Leng Yun's temperament, as his father, is better than anyone else. He is not quick-witted, nor is he a generous person. The father and son have disappeared, and he is about to find a reason to abolish the prince for the future of Daning Kingdom.

However, what this woman said gave him a bad premonition. A few days ago, the Prince's Mansion just gave birth to a baby boy. Although he didn't show anything, he was still a little bit happy in his heart. After all, it was from the grandson's generation. people.

But who would have thought that a woman who identified the child would come out now, and it is not known whether this woman's child has anything to do with the child born to Wu Linlin.

Thinking of this, the emperor slightly closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

This group of people started on the road again under the leadership of Leng Yu, and Xiaoyu was taken on the road together.

A Hong came back to Luo Lan's horse and replied softly:

"Princess, everything is under control."

Luo Lan nodded, a bit of worry increased between her brows.

Although the Taimiao was some distance away from the imperial palace, it was still in the capital, so the group arrived at the Taimiao in less than half an hour.

According to the rules in the palace, the emperor took Leng Yu and others to burn incense in the temple, and then called Xiaoyu to the backyard of the Taimiao, where there is a courtyard specially prepared for the emperor.

The emperor sat upright, and below sat Leng Yu, Leng Xi, Leng Ming, Luo Lan, Liu Dechang and Yu Shiming, and the rest were all waiting outside.

Looking at Xiaoyu who was kneeling on the ground, the emperor asked with a cold face,

"Tell me, what's going on?"
