"Auspicious?" Yu Jin looked a little strange.
If he remembered correctly, Jixiang was the white cat that was often seen in Yu's study or Yangxin Palace and ignored the emperor?
Its size gradually became similar to the one that Erniu was leaning against.
Because he noticed that the white cat named Jixiang was not interested in competing for the emperor's favor, the sensible eunuch brought two more cats that were very funny. However, Emperor Jingming still liked this white cat and often liked to feed it good things such as meat strips and dried fish.
Although Jixiang seemed to ignore his owner, it did not affect his willingness to eat dried fish, and he gained weight over time.
Emperor Jingming saw Yu Jin's strange expression and straightened his face. He said calmly, "I just happened to think of it. Let's go."
Just kidding, it's just a cat, would he be so anxious to get it back? Of course he would, but he had to wait until he got rid of his son, otherwise where would he put his dragon face?
Worried that Jixiang would run around and be bullied by ignorant people, Emperor Jingming quickly gave Pan Hai a look.
Although Pan Hai received Emperor Jingming's gaze and understood his meaning, he acted as if he knew nothing.
He won't look for it!
As for that lazy and cunning white cat, it might stay in Yuquan Palace to watch Concubine Xian throw cups in anger. Wouldn't it be troublesome to go there now? Moreover, Jixiang ran away without any reason. If it was disturbed by it, the emperor would not make a decision for him at all, and he could only blame himself.
The old eunuch, who vaguely sensed that her position in the emperor's heart was surpassed by the white cat, walked forward without looking around.
Emperor Jingming was upset when he saw that the old eunuch, who always shared his thoughts, had no reaction.
Pan Hai was usually very tactful, so what happened today? He didn't react, so what was the reason for that flash of anger?
Rather, it was like the expression he occasionally saw on the faces of some concubines when he visited a concubine's palace.
When this thought flashed through his mind, Emperor Jingming was frightened.
He must be overthinking it!
As they were about to reach Yangxin Palace, Emperor Jingming, who was anxious to find a good fortune, paused and coughed softly: "Ahem, Seventh Brother, you can go back."
He has followed me all the way to Yangxin Palace and still refuses to leave. How come this kid doesn't have any sense at all?
"My son is leaving." Yu Jin bowed politely, nodded slightly to Pan Hai, and was led out of the palace by a young eunuch.
When Emperor Jingming saw Yu Jin walking away, he turned around and walked back in a hurry.
Pan Hai hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, Commander Han is still waiting for you."
Emperor Jingming glanced at Pan Hai and said unhappily, "Why, Han Ran can't wait for me?"
Humph, knowing that he is cuckolded, it is good enough that he did not kill Lao Han, why should he be unsatisfied.
Pan Hai pretended to hit himself: "I am sorry for talking too much. Are you going to -"
"Of course, we should go back to find Jixiang!" Emperor Jingming said impatiently and turned around first.
He was sure that Pan Hai must not have used his brain today and his reaction was far less clever than usual. Did he go back to see Concubine Xian instead of looking for Jixiang?
Ahem, it’s not that he is heartless towards Concubine Xian, but he has already visited her twice today. Even the visits to the Empress Dowager were not so frequent.
The eunuch who went to invite Prince Qi had just walked outside the palace gate when he met Prince Qi who was entering the palace to pay his respects to Concubine Xian.
When he saw that it was a eunuch from Yuquan Palace, Prince Qi frowned subconsciously: "Where are you going?"
The eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you have arrived at the right time. Her Majesty was just about to invite you into the palace."
"What's wrong, Madam?"
"The Queen just had a quarrel with the Prince of Yan, and even the Emperor has passed away..."
King Qi's expression changed slightly: "Is this true?
There was no need to say much to a young eunuch, so Prince Qi quickened his pace and hurried to Yuquan Palace.
In Yuquan Palace, the mess on the ground had been cleaned up, but Concubine Xian was still in a very bad mood.
She didn't have much affection for Lao Qi, and she knew that Lao Qi was not close to her, but she never expected that Lao Qi was not only not close to her, but also did not have the slightest sense of being a human being.
She now had no doubt that even if she died, that evil son would not shed a tear, and would even clap his hands in celebration.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.
Fortunately, a eunuch soon reported that Prince Qi had arrived, breaking the icy atmosphere in Yuquan Palace.
Concubine Xian sat on the beauty couch and looked up at the King of Qi walking in. She felt a little warm in her heart: "Why did you come so soon?"
The Prince of Qi was happy to please Concubine Xian, and said, "My son thought that my seventh brother came back yesterday, and he might come to visit me today, so I came here to meet with me and my seventh brother. After all, it is not easy to get together on weekdays."
He walked forward quickly, his face showing worry, "Why doesn't mother look well?"
Concubine Xian motioned for the palace maids to leave and sneered, "It's good enough that you didn't get pissed off to death by that evil beast, Old Seven. How good can it be?"
"Mother, what's going on?"
Concubine Xian recounted the whole story. As she recalled everything that had just happened, her bad mood took over again. She said coldly, "You are such a fool. You still want to get closer to that evil beast. I think he wishes we were dead so that he could become even more reckless!"
"Mother, my seventh brother wouldn't do that..."
Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Fourth Brother, kindness depends on the person. Give up on Seventh Brother and stop fantasizing about brotherhood. How can a person who is so heartless to his own mother be good to his brothers?"
King Qi sighed and whispered, "My son, I never thought that the seventh brother is such a person. I thought that brothers would support each other and -"
Concubine Xian waved her hands and warned, "Now is a critical moment. The King of Shu is your biggest opponent. I am afraid that the Seventh Prince will hold you back. You must be careful in the future."
King Zheng of Qi nodded: "Son understands."
Concubine Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
That wicked son really pissed her off enough, relying on the emperor's protection and thinking she could do nothing about him. So just wait and see, when the fourth brother succeeds, he will be dealt with.
"The Emperor has arrived—"
This report startled both Concubine Xian and King Qi, and they looked at each other in surprise.
While he was hesitating, Emperor Jingming had already walked in. He took a quick glance and saw Prince Qi, and couldn't help but frowned: "Fourth Brother, why are you here?"
How come the fourth brother is already in Yuquan Palace when he was away for such a short while?
Emperor Jingming suppressed his unhappiness and looked at Prince Qi.
The Prince of Qi secretly thought that this was terrible, and hurriedly greeted Emperor Jingming, explaining, "My son is here to visit my mother."
Emperor Jingming glanced at Concubine Xian and said calmly, "Well, Concubine Xian is not feeling well. The fourth prince came here so quickly. His filial piety is commendable."
Is the Prince Qi's Palace too well-informed?
Prince Qi's face froze, knowing that Emperor Jingming had misunderstood, and he hurriedly said, "I didn't know that mother was unwell, but I just thought that I hadn't visited mother for some time, so I went to the palace to see..."
Emperor Jingming's expression remained indifferent: "Well, let's go back home after reading it."
Would he believe such a coincidence?
Humph, explanation is just covering up, that’s why he is too lazy to listen. He might as well go find Jixiang instead of spending his time like that.
