Chapter 561 Xie Ruiyuan Returns to the Palace
However, Emperor Wu Wen pretended not to understand what his son said, but quickly took the medicine bottle from Xie Ruiyuan and began to drive people away.
"Yuan'er, I have nothing to do here. Please go to your mother's palace and take a look."
"Father, don't you see what time it is now?"
Emperor Wu Wen glanced out the window and saw the night sky as dark as ink. Not even a star could be seen, let alone the moon.
"Well, it's dark and windy now. You can go to your mother's palace so that you won't be easily discovered."
Xie Ruiyuan knew that what his father said was right, but he just wanted to make things difficult for his father. It was his fault that he let his guard down and gave Concubine Rou an opportunity to take advantage of.
Now in order to tie down the troops of King Yue, Concubine Rou cannot be punished. Instead, Concubine Rou must be allowed to enter and leave Qiankun Palace freely.
You should know that the Qiankun Hall was the bedroom of emperors of all dynasties. Concubines were not allowed to enter, let alone stay overnight in the Qiankun Hall.
Normally, if the emperor wanted to favor a concubine, he would not do it in the Qiankun Palace, but would go to a special palace or stay overnight in the concubine's bedroom.
Even though Emperor Wu Wen and his mother were so loving, his mother never stayed overnight in the Qiankun Palace over the years.
But Emperor Wu Wen broke the precedent. Although he had legitimate reasons, he still felt uncomfortable.
But he also knew that he had no position and no reason to stop it, or even if his father didn't do so, he would still persuade him.
After all, the King of Yue secretly sent 100,000 elite soldiers from outside the capital to the capital, and this was no joke.
The key point is that he also secretly received news that the number of troops of King Yue around the capital was not just 100,000, but 200,000.
However, he only found 100,000 soldiers, and the other 100,000 disappeared out of thin air. No matter how he sent people to search, there was no news. This made him extremely alert. Even if he returned to the capital, he did not dare to enter the palace openly. He could only sneak into the palace after dark to see his father and mother.
"Father, give me the portraits of the quadruplets. I want to go see the Queen Mother."
"Let's go, let's go together."
Having said that, Wu Wen stood up, pulled Xie Ruiyuan and walked out the door.
Xie Ruiyuan had no choice but to take his father to his mother's palace.
In less than half a minute, Xie Ruiyuan and Emperor Wu Wen arrived at the Queen's Kunning Palace.
The empress was very excited to see her son whom she had not seen for more than half a year. Before she could take a good look at her son, she was attracted by the portrait in Emperor Wu Wen's hand.
"What is this? Let me see."
"Queen, let me tell you, this is the first treasure, this is the second treasure, this is the third treasure, and this is the fourth treasure."
"You don't need to tell me to bring it here. I know it's written here, isn't it?"
When Emperor Wu Wen took a look, he saw that indeed in the lower right corner of each piece of paper, there was a mark of Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, and Si Bao.
He had just received the album and was so excited that he didn't notice this at all.
But it doesn’t matter whether you look at the names or not, because the first picture is a portrait of four babies together, arranged from left to right from big to small, namely Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, and Sibao.
After just one look, he memorized the appearances of the four babies.
Because all four babies are delicate and cute. Although they are quadruplets and look very similar, their personalities are very different, which can be seen from their expressions.
"Queen, don't you think Princess Sibao is very beautiful?"
"Of course. Don't you see whose granddaughter she is?"
The queen looked at the portraits of the four babies and felt extremely proud.
But after a while, the queen's eyes were still on the quadruplets. She was smiling with joy and she didn't even remember her son Xie Ruiyuan at all.
Xie Ruiyuan knew that his father and mother would definitely like the quadruplets very much when they saw them.
But he didn't expect that both of them loved the four babies so much. He believed that if the quadruplets were here, his father and mother would definitely hold them tightly and never let go.
He could see that after having four babies, his father and mother no longer had eyes for him.
However, he did not feel disappointed. Instead, he was very happy that the four babies were recognized by their father, the emperor, and their mother, the queen.
After all, no matter what, the quadruplets were not born within marriage, and morally speaking, they are illegitimate children.
Moreover, his father and mother have never met A Yue, and he is also worried that his father and mother will not accept A Yue and have opinions about A Yue.
But now seeing how much his father and mother loved their four babies, he felt that he really had no need to worry.
"Father, Emperor, Mother."
Xie Ruiyuan called out three times in a row, but no one paid any attention to him. Emperor Wu Wen and the Empress' attention was always on the album.
Seeing that he had really fallen out of favor with his father and mother, Xie Ruiyuan sighed helplessly and left quietly.
He entered the palace secretly this time just to see what his father's attitude was towards his eldest brother. Now that he knew the answer, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
After all, he still has a lot of things to do. In addition to making good arrangements to prevent the King of Yue from leading his army into the capital and helping the eldest prince to successfully force the emperor to abdicate, the palace also needs to be well arranged.
In less than forty days, A Yue and the four babies will arrive in the capital, so he has to have someone arrange a place for their family to live in advance.
There is no need to think too much about which courtyard to live in. The five members of their family can just live in the main courtyard.
A Yue has to take care of four babies herself, so it is impossible for him to be separated from them, so of course they have to live with them.
Thinking that in the near future there would be a hostess and four lovely babies in the mansion, his heart began to beat fast. He was so excited that he quickened his pace.
When Xie Ruiyuan returned to the palace, he called the eunuch Gao Lin to the study.
"Master, are you tired? Are you hungry? I will ask the kitchen to prepare the meal right away."
"It's getting late. Don't bother. Just cook a bowl of noodles and send it over."
"Oh, my Lord, you work so hard outside, how can I let you suffer in your meals. Lord, don't worry about it, I will arrange it right away. In addition to the noodles, I will also add two more side dishes."
"Well, I have something important to tell you."
"Master, just give me your orders."
"The mansion needs to be renovated, especially the main courtyard, and more things for women and children should be added."
After hearing this, Gao Lin was stunned and didn't react.
"Hey, what's wrong? Didn't you understand?"
"Ah, Master, I just don't understand what you are saying. What women and children? Where do women and children come from in our house?"
Xie Ruiyuan has always felt that Gao Lin is smart, and no matter what he arranges, everything can be done properly.
What happened today? He had explained it so clearly, but he still looked confused.
Gao Lin was worthy of being someone who had followed Xie Ruiyuan for many years. In just a moment, he understood what his prince meant.
In fact, it’s not that he didn’t understand at first, but the literal meaning made him a little unbelievable and doubt what he heard.
