Ye Lan'er assassinated the Eighth Prince with a mortal heart, wanting to make a big deal out and avenge her family. The assassination was unsuccessful, which was expected by her, but she didn't expect that the Eighth Prince not only did not punish her, but listened to her grievances and made decisions for her.

On the day of the Governor's fall, she wept at her family's grave, but her family would never come back, she was just a lonely ghost still alive in this world.

She was arranged to serve by the prince's side, and the eighth prince has always taken her to paralyze the forces of all parties, and for the only woman accepted by the eighth prince, all parties were very polite to Ye Lan'er, and the words were very flattering. Maybe the eighth prince also learned from His Majesty's affection, and how the imperial concubine favored the harem alone, but it was widely spread.

Gradually, Ye Lan'er also had thoughts, she said that she was just to repay her kindness, she had nowhere to go, so she stayed by His Highness's side as a little girl serving tea and pouring water to repay His Highness's kindness.

His Majesty came to Jiangnan, and I heard that His Majesty brought a lot of famous ladies to choose concubines for the princes, and the concubines of the eighth prince were also among them, Ye Lan'er followed to the banquet, she saw the women on the table who were smiling and smiling, and her heart was sour and jealous, although she felt that her appearance was not worse than them.

But the identities are very different.

When they arrived in Jiangnan, the ladies did not live in the palace, but went to their own families, whether they could be elected as princesses, the quality of women only accounted for a small proportion, it depended on the operation of each family.

Tang Xiaoyun returned to her grandfather, but she didn't tell her grandfather about the ship like other girls, and what the harem lady thought of her. Tang Su wanted to go for a walk on the street, so she changed into men's clothes and went out with her.

Jiangnan has a rich land, and the business on the street is very lively and developed, and it has not shrunk at all because of the change of sky, but because the saint has come, it has become more lively.

In just a short way, I heard no less than three people saying that they came to the state capital on purpose to sense His Majesty's Tianwei.

"I came to Gangnam once 30 years ago, and it was very different from this time. Tang Su said with emotion, "Your Majesty's southern tour, His Royal Highness's loose outside and tight internal arrangement has caused people to criticize, and the risk is too great, but they don't know that this real peaceful and prosperous era is what Your Majesty wants to see." ”

"Although he is not by His Majesty's side, His Highness's thoughts are accurate. ”

"If you feel it accurately, you must also be willing to take responsibility. Tang Xiaoyun said, "If there is no prince in Jiangnan, even if everyone knows what His Majesty wants to see, it is not just a matter of calling some people who know the roots to act for His Majesty." ”

Tang Su nodded, "The same is true of officialdom, it's not that you can't do things, you can't do things, you just don't want to take responsibility, you push me, I push him, one push is a hundred, it may not be meritorious, and if you don't do it, you will definitely not make a mistake." ”

"Isn't there a rating system for officials?"

Tang Su shook his head, "I can't control the top and bottom, and I can't care about it." ”

"Fortunately, now that Heqing Haiyan is in the country, there is no war in the country, and these people will be over, if it is very timely, these people will bring disaster to the country and the people. ”

"Grandpa doesn't have to worry. Tang Xiaoyun said, "How many officials in the imperial court, if they are really as active and enterprising as His Royal Highness, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it." ”

"Yes. Tang Su said.

"Tang Xiang. The two grandfathers and grandsons were interrupted when they were talking, Tang Su raised his head, ah, sure enough, don't talk about people behind your back, say that everyone has arrived, which one is not the eighth prince.

The Eighth Prince stopped Tang Su's hand that wanted to salute, "Since you met outside, you don't need to salute so much." ”

Tang Xiaoyun bowed, retreated behind his grandfather and lowered his head, the eighth prince was only a junior of the Tang Su family, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, he just looked at Tang Su with a smile, "I don't want to think about anything else outside the gate, I just want to think about Tang Xiang's strategy." ”

"I thought about Tang Xiang's homework. ”

Tang Su was crowned the crown prince and young master, but now there is no prince, he only goes to give the princes a half-day class, and he will use the affairs of the court to assign them homework, which is deeply liked by the princes.

"Since Your Highness said so, when the old minister goes back, he will sort out the homework of these years and send it to His Highness, and there is no hurry to hand in the homework, just wait for His Majesty to return to Beijing on the day he returns to Beijing. Tang Su said.

Originally, it was just a polite remark, but it attracted a lot of homework, and it was good for the eighth prince to invite Tang Xiang to dinner. Tianxianglou is a three-storey octagonal building, to say that it is a place to eat, it is too extravagant, but it is a serious place to eat.

"Tang Xiang guesses who is the owner behind this building?" After taking a seat, the eighth prince chatted with Tang Xiang.

Tang Xiang didn't answer, and asked Tang Xiaoyun, "Guess?"

"Since His Highness asked like this, could it be Liu Yunliang the owner behind this building?" Tang Xiaoyun replied without thinking. Liu Yunliang is the soil emperor who was pulled down by the eighth prince.

"How do you guess it's him?" the Eighth Prince asked curiously, "I ask that, can't it be my inheritance?"

"His Royal Highness wants to buy property in Jiangnan, and he will not choose such a conspicuous Tianxiang Building. Tang Xiaoyun glanced around, "Such a luxurious restaurant, if there is no hard stubble behind it, it is like a child holding gold in the city, it can't last long, I just heard that this building has been open for three years, and Liu Yunliang was promoted to governor three years ago." ”

The Eighth Prince nodded, "The children of the Tang Xiang family are really good, and their speculation is reasonable. ”

After Liu Yunliang was promoted to governor, the brother-in-law left the partner and monopolized the Tianxiang Building, Liu Yunliang stepped down, and the brother-in-law also went to prison. ”

"This building was bought by a wealthy businessman, the name was not changed, and most of the guests did not know that this building had changed owners. The Eighth Prince said.

"The world is like this, and if you don't know, you won't delay continuing to live. Tang Su said. Even if you change to a big one, change an emperor, how should these people live?

Some things don't matter, and some things don't matter.

"I just don't understand something, Liu Yunliang is so arrogant, why didn't my father kill him?" asked the eighth prince.

"If it weren't for your conclusive evidence, Your Highness, Your Majesty would not have believed that Liu Yunliang would have done these things at first. Tang Su said, "Liu Yunliang is the first champion personally appointed by His Majesty after he ascended the throne, and he is a beautiful person, a good poet, and His Majesty cherishes it very much." ”

"He has been guarded by His Majesty all the way up, and he has not failed His Majesty's holy grace, and he is very good at being an official, otherwise he would not have become the governor of Liangjiang at such a young age. Tang Su said, "In the case of Liu Yunliang, it was Your Majesty who was hit the hardest. ”

The Eighth Prince nodded thoughtfully, and then raised his teacup to salute Tang Su, "Xie Tang Xiang pointed." ”

"It's nothing. Tang Su said, "His Highness will ask Niangniang about this matter, and Niangniang will also tell His Highness." ”

"Don't you dare to stay with your mother for a long time now, and after a long time, you have to ask me who I choose?" said the eighth prince with a smile, "Now I don't even know the name of the person, so how can I choose." ”

"However, His Royal Highness got married earlier than other princes. Tang Su said.

The Eighth Prince looked at Tang Su, "Actually, according to what I mean, there is nothing wrong with getting married later." ”

"But my father wants me to get married, so I'll get married earlier." The Eighth Prince said.

"Your Highness's filial piety, Your Majesty will be pleased. Tang Su said.

After saying goodbye to Tianxianglou, Tang Su and Tang Xiaoyun went back, "I met His Highness today, but I couldn't have a good time, so I'll go another day." Tang Su said.

"It doesn't matter, we have to stay in Jiangnan for another month. Tang Xiaoyun said, "Grandfather, I have a place I want to go, can I go?"

"Take all the people and go. Tang Su said, "I need to be summoned by His Majesty from time to time, you go out and see something interesting, come back and tell your grandfather, Quan Dang's grandfather has also gone." ”

But Tang Xiaoyun's idea could not be implemented, every time there was a call in the palace, she was busier than her grandfather, and she was going to the palace to accompany the ladies to the lake this day.

The royal boat is stable, such as walking on the ground, the Jiangnan silk strings are in the button, the words and smiles Yan Yan, full of fragrant wind, Tang Xiaoyun and the people have changed positions, sitting outside must be ah, you can enjoy the scenery very well.

"Look, that's the beautiful concubine of the Eighth Prince. Chang Lei, who was beside her, tugged at her sleeve and whispered. Tang Xiaoyun only glanced at it, it was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, but she quickly looked away, no matter how beautiful she was, it didn't matter to her.

"Do you know how she got in?" Chang Lei continued, "She came in with Lin Ru. ”

"I don't know when they met, anyway, they look like sisters and sisters are affectionate, and it's weird and disgusting to look at. ”

"Lin Ru was able to go from the boat of the third princess to the imperial ship, which was originally a promotion given to her by the palace, but I didn't expect that she just wanted to be small. Chang Lei sneered and laughed, "I didn't dare to talk to her more now when I talked to her on the boat, for fear of being chosen by her, and my sister will marry the sixth prince affectionately." ”

Tang Xiaoyun glanced at her, "How do you know everything?"

"I'm so lively. Chang Lei said. "You are usually indifferent, and others can't think of talking to you about this. ”

"Then why did you tell me?" Tang Xiaoyun said.

"I just like to be lively, I like to talk to people. Chang Lei smiled, "You don't look like someone who will go out and talk nonsense." ”

It turned out that the two were irrelevant, but I didn't expect Lin Ru to take Ye Lan'er to introduce here, although she was on the show boat, but she didn't integrate with those ladies, when she arrived in Jiangnan, Ye Lan'er took the initiative to show goodwill, she found out that she was the person next to the Eighth Prince, and her identity was worse than her, and she found confidence for a while, and the two quickly became intimate.

This cruise also brought her over, and said that he would introduce her to people.

"This is Tang Xiang's granddaughter Tang Xiaoyun, she is very smart, this is Ye Lan'er, and she is also a beautiful Huizhong. Lin Ru's face has always been a faint red, and she is very excited in her heart.

Before Tang Xiaoyun could speak, Chang Lei, who was sitting next to her, said first, "Who is she? Why do you introduce you so enthusiastically?"

"She is the pillow person of the Eighth Prince. Lin Ru gave her a knowing look, "You also want to go back to Beijing with us, we will always meet in the future, it's good to get to know each other first." ”

"The Eighth Prince hasn't given her the title yet, so you go around saying that she is the pillow person of the Eighth Prince, what are your intentions?" Chang Lei asked innocently, "What's more, even if she is really the pillow person of the Eighth Prince, I'm afraid there will be no chance to meet in the future, and it doesn't matter if you recognize each other or not." ”

Lin Ru's face turned even redder, and it was a red of annoyance.

Ye Lan'er was also a little annoyed, and forcibly said, "I'm just a little girl waiting next to the Eighth Prince, thanks to Miss Lin's eyes, she brought me here, and I really don't dare to climb up to the young ladies." ”

"If you are the girl who is serving by the side of the Eighth Prince, why didn't the Eighth Prince bring you here? Since the Eighth Prince didn't bring you, why did you come with Miss Lin?" Tang Xiaoyun couldn't just let Chang Lei absorb the firepower alone, she said slowly, "Besides, the palace maids who serve around the Eighth Prince have to go through a small selection, if you want to follow the Eighth Prince into the palace, you need to prepare well." ”

"It's just to bring someone over to recognize your face, why do you want to humiliate us so much?" Lin Ru trembled and said, "You have always looked down on me, what is so great about you, isn't it just a good birth, a good grandfather, without your grandfather, why can you sit here." ”

"I will be reincarnated, of course, because I have done enough good things in my previous life. Tang Xiaoyun said, she turned her head and whispered something to the wine servant, the wine nodding, and hurriedly left, and after a while, she brought a musician over, Tang Xiaoyun smiled and asked her where she was from, and the musician replied that the slave's surname was Su, a celebrity.

Tang Xiaoyun nodded and said to Lin Ru, "Let me introduce to you, this is the daughter of the Lin family in the suburbs of Beijing, Lin Ru, who is kind and benevolent, and this is Su Yuan'er, a famous musician in the south of the Yangtze River, who is good at pipa." ”

"Tang Xiaoyun, you deceive people too much. Lin Ru covered her face and walked away.

Tang Xiaoyun said helplessly, "She brought a girl to introduce her for no reason, I'm not angry yet, she wants to say that I deceive people too much." ”

This matter is a small episode, but it still let the concubines know, Concubine Yao called the sixth prince and told her about it, "This matter is her unruly, Tang Xiaoyun is your father's daughter-in-law, don't you think about it, whether she is the seventh princess or the eighth princess, their relationship will not be harmonious, which of your younger brothers are you going to be estranged from?"

Concubine Yao hasn't said that she doesn't understand the rules so much, and she doesn't know how many people she will offend in the future, if you want to marry her as a princess, you will only be made fun of.

The sixth prince said first, "Before, the son was ignorant, but now the son has figured it out, she is not suitable to be a princess, and I haven't said anything about it." But her son touched her body, and she couldn't abandon it from the beginning. ”

"Of course. Concubine Yao didn't expect him to figure it out on his own, and said overjoyedly, "It's just that you have to remember that no matter how much you like her, you can't spoil your concubine and kill your wife." ”

The sixth prince nodded, in fact, he left Lin Ru's gentleness and pettiness, and together with the eighth prince, he had seen several women with the same tone as her, and he was alert in his heart, whether he had fallen into the trap of gentleness, these women said with affection, and they had some true feelings for him, but it was dill climbing a tree.

And the opportunity given to her by the mother concubine, she didn't cherish it, she may not have thought about being a princess at all, everything was forced by him.

Concubine Yao didn't care how he figured it out, she felt that Chang Lei, who was with Tang Xiaoyun at the time, had a hard attitude towards Lin Ru and could treat her, so she discussed it with the six princes, so she went to tell His Majesty happily that she couldn't wait to make an order tomorrow.

When the eighth prince went to his mother's concubine, Qin Yunyi was asking people to send some gifts to Tang to get along, "What are you going to do with that maid?" ”

"I didn't take her to the palace. The eighth prince said, "She is pitiful alone, and the house was given to me by someone else, so I will give it to her, and I can't let her be displaced." ”

"Then give her another place to live, live in your yard, no wonder others think about it. Qin Yunyi said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll let people talk about it." ”

"Forget it, I'll let someone say it. The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "Lest she thinks that you beat the mandarin duck and still don't give up." ”

Qin Yunyi nodded.

"Mother, you said that Tang Xiang's granddaughter is also on the shortlist?"

"What, you like it?"

"I admire Tang Xiang. The eighth prince said, "Let Tang Xiang's granddaughter be my princess." ”

"You don't even need to meet?" Qin Yunyi said, "I like that girl too, but to be honest, the concubine is not the best." ”

"No matter how good-looking she is, she is not as good-looking as her mother, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, the granddaughter of the Tang Xiang family should be no worse. ”

The eighth prince didn't know that he had already had a relationship with the princess, so much so that he said very abruptly on the night of the cave room, your brothers and sisters are really alike, which made Tang Xiaoyun laugh.

I used to see jokes and think about which woman wanted to marry the sixth prince with Lin Ru, but I didn't expect it to be herself, and thought of one hundred and eight tricks to deal with Lin Ru, but I didn't expect that the six princes didn't treat Lin Ru differently, and the tricks she prepared were useless.
