Chapter 22: Three Days of the Ligong Palace (3)

"Wei Niangniang is good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Taiping rarely wore a palace costume, smiling and standing next to the rose bush.

The sunlight slanted from the ridges in the northwest, dyeing the roses and leaves golden and innocent, shining brighter than the phoenix hairpins on their heads.

"Princess Taiping," Concubine Wei also smiled, her face was covered with a thick layer of floating powder, and she was so white that she couldn't get rid of it. "Princess Qinghe is not here again?"

"My sister went to my father's place. Taiping said, "Didn't Sister Yongtai and Sister Yongan also go?" Wei Niangniang didn't know?"

The smile on Concubine Wei's face almost couldn't be hung up: "Yongtai Yong'an is naughty, he tore the blue yarn tent of Chongyuan Hall a few days ago, and he is receiving punishment these days." Every day I go to His Majesty's place, just copy and write. ā€

Taiping said: "My sister just goes to grind ink every day to accompany her. Wei Niangniang, don't worry, even if you don't come to your sister every day, your sister will take care of the two younger sisters. ā€

Concubine Wei looked at Taiping for a while, and saw that she really didn't know anything.

"Princess Taiping, her mind is pure. Concubine Wei half sighed and half envied, "Princess Qinghe, gentle and kind." You two sisters are much more sensible than Yongtai Yongan in this palace. ā€

Taiping couldn't help but look at Concubine Wei suspiciously.

At that time, Concubine Wei was chasing after Taiping for the crime of fornicating with a foreign man, if it weren't for Qinghe's unexpected stubbornness, I'm afraid Taiping's reputation would have been ruined at this time.

"Wei Niangniang praised me so embarrassed. Taiping said, "Yongtai Yongan is my father's favorite daughter, and my sister is my father's most distressed daughter, and I will only be reckless to make my father angry." You see, my father never summoned me. ā€

Concubine Wei said: "If you don't summon it, it doesn't mean that Your Majesty doesn't have you in his heart." ā€

When I was summoned, I didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Taiping smiled: "Yes." I'm on the tip of the bull's horns. Thank you Wei Niangniang. The sacrifice is about to start in a while, shall we go to the altar first? The two younger sisters of Sister and Yongtai Yongan will definitely come with the royal car at that time, and the mother does not have to wait for them. ā€

Concubine Wei nodded and said, "It's okay." ā€

Taiping followed Concubine Wei half a step behind, blocking between everyone and the roses without a trace. Seeing this, the palace people next to them also took a few steps back and followed behind them.

A large group of people brought by Concubine Wei left in a majestic manner. The rose bush is quiet again.

The sun had sunk, and even the last rays of light had been collected, and at last there was a rustling sound in the rose bushes. Clusters of flowers and branches trembled, and a person emerged.

Zhao An was wearing a blue-black regular robe, and if it weren't for a few light pink petals on his shoulder blades, he would almost melt into the dull twilight.

He brushed the flowers and leaves from the crown of his head expressionlessly, trying to stretch his muscles and bones slightly, but his back hurt, and he stopped.

Zhao An chuckled, turned around and walked towards the brightly lit place.

The Haohao soup soup of the Wei River is reflected by the candle fire on the riverbank like a roll of grenade-colored gold silk, as if fluttering in the evening breeze, gentle and sparkling. On the altar, the emperor was taking a cup of wine from the ceremonial officer and slowly pouring it into the rushing river from a high place.

The aroma of wine suddenly spreads, as if there is a lively girl, with colorful sleeves flying, diligently persuading wine.

The candle flame flickered, and the emperor's expression was a little stunned.

The people below all lowered their heads, and naturally they didn't see the eyes of that moment.

Tian looked at it coldly, but because of the darkness of the night, he could only see a blur on the emperor's face. Rao was like this, just by that figure, she could imagine the emperor's expression at this moment. Tian subconsciously raised his chin, which was completely different from the people around him who didn't dare to raise their heads.

The Emperor was still standing, ignoring the basket of lotus flowers and branches handed to him.

No one dared to rush him, and the whole ritual stopped here.

Tian retracted his gaze and found that Concubine Xu was also looking at the altar. Tian couldn't help but laugh.

"You are so with all your grievances, and so am I. Tian thought, "All of them are murderers, just look at who can't die well." ā€

The emperor over there had enough of staying, threw the lotus and pearls into the river, read a sacrificial sentence perfunctorily, and waved his hand to let people clean up. Soon the sacrificial rites were over, and the palace attendants came to pass the dinner. The outer court of the inner palace is divided into two columns, separated by a huge screen, with an emperor on one side as the head, and a concubine of Emperor Tian Xian on the other side, and the feast begins.

The candle flame jumped, sweeping away the gloomy and dreary time of the sacrifice, and the atmosphere became lively again.

The banquet was noisy, and the nobles played the game harder than usual, not knowing if it was a kind of compensation for the solemnity that they had not dared to speak before. There was a lot of excitement, and everyone decided that they had to go home tonight. Zhao An found a gap and said a few words in Zhao Gou's ear. Zhao Gou kept laughing while holding his wine glass, making people wonder if he heard it.

The emperor was quite far away from them, and when he saw this, he asked the eunuch Zhong Si to call the two brothers over.

Zhong Si passed through a field of nobles, and many small treasures were secretly stuffed on the road. He only nodded slightly, and did not pause.

Soon Zhao Gou and Zhao An came to the emperor's seat, and the nobles' playing seemed to be lighter. How many people, just watching, have already been frightened.

Zhao Gou staggered over, almost hanging on Zhao An, and walked to the throne, just doing the usual salute of a courtier.

Zhao An looked trembling, and threw himself to the ground.

The emperor laughed: "There is no need to be so restrained. Your brother also grew up under my watch. "It's as if someone else was going to kill someone in Shanglin the other day.

Zhao Gou said: "It's not that my cousin-in-law is too scary. ā€

The Emperor laughed and said, "Just say this to you, and I will take off your head." ā€

There was silence on the scene.

Zhao Gouzhi sat on the ground like a scoundrel and burped: "Pick it, pick it." This life of the minister was originally His Majesty's. ā€

The emperor blinked slyly and said, "Come on, send your head here first, and come here, I have something to ask you." ā€

Zhao Gou said: "How can there be a reason to send it, pick it or not, give a quasi-word." ā€

The emperor snorted, pointed his finger at Zhao Gou, and said to the left and right: "This kid, is it exactly the same as Zhang Pinghou back then?"

The Chang servants are all children of young families, so they naturally don't understand what the emperor means, only Zhong Si smiled and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Zhao Dutong's appearance of playing tricks after getting drunk is indeed the same as that of Zhao Houye." ā€

The emperor nodded and sighed, "Twenty-five years have passed in a blink of an eye. Back then, Zhang Pinghou fell out with Zhao Xiang, ran away in a bad mood, and played tricks at the drinking party to ask me to hand over the northwest to him. I succeeded to the throne at the beginning, and I was in a hurry, and the northwest was in constant trouble, so I let him go. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, we have never met again. If it weren't for the Yan rebellion eight years ago, your father came all the way to Chang'an, I didn't know that he would have frosted on his temples. After speaking, there was a little tear in his eyes.

Zhao Gou said: "My father also misses Your Majesty. When I was in the Northwest, the biggest thing of the year was to prepare for His Majesty's New Year's gift. My father hated to move the entire northwest to Chang'an. ā€

The emperor smiled: "So he left you in Chang'an." ā€

Zhao Gou also smiled: "Yes." Chen was fifteen years old when he left his father, and he was still crying. ā€

The emperor sighed: "It's hard for you. Chang'an is not as comfortable as the Northwest in the end. ā€

Zhao Gou shook his head: "I can be loyal to my father, and I have no regrets when I die." Besides, the roast sheep in Chang'an is indeed better than the roast sheep in the northwest, and my father is honest and does not deceive me. ā€

The emperor shouted a few times and said, "Give wine!"

Zhao Gou was not polite, he took the wine brought by the waiter and drank it, he didn't drink enough, and he had to pull Zhao An up from the ground: "Don't pretend in front of Your Majesty." Chang'an peach blossom brewing, you can't find it anywhere without Your Majesty. ā€

Zhao An raised his head and looked at the emperor, and when he saw the emperor nodding with a smile, he went to get the wine glass handed over by Zhao Gou.

The emperor said: "You bring your brother to be greedy, wait for Zhang Pinghou to know and see how he punishes you." ā€

Zhao An snorted: "There are a few people in the Zhao family who are not greedy for cups, and my father himself can't leave wine and meat." What's more," he raised his glass and saluted the emperor from afar, "Your Majesty gives wine, who dares not to drink it?"

The emperor said, "After drinking my peach blossom brew, you are about to confide in the truth." ā€

Zhao Gou put down his wine glass and deliberately didn't look at the surrounding crowd who didn't dare to come out.

"Your Majesty has something to say, just ask. If Zhao Gou has a false word, he will punish me Zhao for dying violently, and the bones will not exist. ā€

This was said so seriously that even the emperor was stunned for a moment.

The Emperor said, "Yes, you have a good temperament, and unlike those who have evil intentions, I like you very much." ā€

The nobles and courtiers around him had different expressions.

"Zhao An came to you, did something happen to Chang'an?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Zhao An opened his mouth to speak, but was pressed down by Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou's eyes were smoked by the smell of wine, as bright as a star, and the whole person exuded an aura between chic and solemn.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Gou said, "the Zhao family is here, and nothing will happen in Chang'an." ā€

The Emperor smiled, "I know. ā€

Zhao Gou knelt upright and kowtowed: "In the past few decades, the Zhao family has been arrogant to the point of offending the Son of Heaven. Weichen dared to apologize to His Majesty on behalf of the Zhao family. ā€

The emperor waved his hand: "It's all over." ā€

With this sentence, tens of thousands of blood since the beginning of the year can be wiped out.

Zhong Si hunched his back and stood with his hands down, like a clay statue. There was a sudden gasp among the young attendants.

I don't blame them, it's that this sentence carries too much weight.

The emperor's mood improved significantly: "Get up." The terrain here is low and humid, and if you kneel for a long time, your knees will be cold. I also count on your brothers to lead troops to war and expand the territory for me. ā€

Zhao Gou and Zhao An knelt on the ground to thank him, kowtowed three times, and then stood up.

Maybe he really knelt for too long, and when Zhao Gou stood up, he stumbled slightly.

The emperor saw it in his eyes and continued: "During this time, Wan'er has also suffered a lot. I plan to canonize her as a concubine, what do you think?"

Liu, Wei, and Chen in the seats next to them immediately wanted to speak, and just started: "Your Majesty......"

Zhao Gou interrupted them and said, "Your Majesty's family affairs, naturally obey Your Majesty's wishes. Zhao Wan'er is impatient, so it's good to temper it. ā€

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "I have already sent the message to Chang'an yesterday. ā€

Everyone was stunned again. The rumors have been spread, and the news has been concealed so well, since the emperor has made up his mind, why should he ask again?

Ji Xiang reacted first, but he didn't come out by himself, but pushed Sima Taiwei beside him, Sima Taiwei was clever, and immediately said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on regaining her beauty." The others hurriedly chimed in.

The emperor laughed, and the monarchs and ministers looked happy.

There was an uproar on the other side of the screen, as if something strange had happened at the banquet over there.

When the woman in the palace was frightened, she was surprised, delicate and earnest, and pitiful. There were a few children present who were usually prodigal, and they had already shown their ugly appearance.

The emperor's eyes were a little cold. Zhong Si stepped forward and whispered, "Wine can mess with sex, adults think it's drunk." ā€

The emperor smiled and said, "I don't know what happened to the imperial concubine, someone came, and the screen was removed." ā€

Wang Chen, the third son of the Wang family, sat on the fifth seat on his left hand, and when he heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, there is a difference between the inner palace and the outer court, please let the ministers retire first." ā€

Some people from the Wang family, the Ji family, and the Helan family echoed this, but there are still too few people who can stay sober.

Yun Ling pinched a clear green jade wine glass, tilted her head and didn't know what she was thinking. He was low, sat far away, and the candle behind him was bright and dim, hiding his expression in the evening breeze. The emperor's place was brightly lit, and everyone's demeanor was as clear as a puppet on the stage. The wine glass that Zhao Gou had poured himself before leaving was still opposite Yun Ling, and Yun Ling suddenly wanted to take it over and have a good time. Zhao Dutong, I'm afraid it will no longer be Zhao Dutong soon.

On the other side of the screen, a waiter hurriedly turned around and whispered a few words in Zhong Si's ear. Zhong Si obviously pondered it for a while before returning to the emperor.

The Emperor smiled at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't look unhappy at all.

"It's rare to come to Weishuibin, so don't keep these false courtesies. Come on, remove the screen. ā€

The silk screen embroidered with mountains, rivers, flowers and birds was folded and moved, revealing a group of women in palace clothes behind the screen.

Ambilight, people are more delicate than flowers.

Tian had already received the report, and took a group of concubines and princesses to bow down: "Long live Your Majesty Chang'an." ā€

The emperor smiled, walked over with his attendants, walked halfway, turned his head and beckoned: "Zhao Gou and Zhao An come over together." And not an outsider. ā€

Zhao An didn't move, and Zhao Gou said, "Your Majesty, the ministers can't wait for the wine." ā€

The emperor looked at him with disgust: "The amount of alcohol is not as good as your father's." He didn't care, he continued to walk to the top and sat in the seat where the imperial concubine Tian was sitting before.

Tian stood aside.

"What's the fun?" the Emperor asked, "and I'm having fun." ā€

Tian said: "It's nothing. The concubines drank and played games, and then they drew wine sticks. ā€

Concubine Wei smiled: "Niangniang, just now we not only drew a wine stick, but also prayed to the Weishui undead." The undead are willing to come back on the Midyear Festival, and it is extremely effective to ask for signatures. ā€

The emperor saw Concubine Wei rushing to talk, but he didn't blame him: "Oh." What did you smoke out?"

Tian didn't speak.

Concubine Wei had no choice but to sing the full set of operas: "The concubines ...... asked about the princess's future. ā€

The emperor also cooperated: "Asked whom?"

Taiping stood up with a cold face: "I." ā€

Qinghe wanted to pull her, but it was too late, so he could only look at his father in fear. When the emperor saw this, he comforted her with his eyes, and the child looked too much like her mother.

Taiping didn't realize it, and only walked forward step by step: "In the Midyear Festival, the soul of the mother concubine will also come back, father, do you say yes?"

The mother concubine she said must not be Helan Shuyuan who is standing aside at the moment.

The emperor looked at Taiping and said gently: "Concubine Yan has a spirit and has been taking care of your sisters. ā€

Tian Shi was unfazed and stroked his nails slowly. Concubine Xu quietly took a step back and hid herself in the background of flowers.

Taiping stood up straight and said, "Wei Niangniang said that Lord Yun Lingyun brought a gadget from Chu Land, claiming to be able to communicate with the deceased. Originally, the imperial concubine said that it was not suitable, but I had to take it to play. She was full of you, me, and me, and the emperor was not angry, but just listened attentively. Taiping has grown so big, and it is the first time to see the emperor listen to himself so seriously and gently, and he can't help but cry a little imperceptibly. "I asked my mother if she was okay...... Asked her if she remembered us. The sand table answered yes, the mother said that she was very good, and she always remembered you and her sister. ā€

The Emperor listened quietly.

"Then everyone said that they would ask me about my sister's fate and see if my mother had made any arrangements. My sister refused to draw lots, so I drew first. The lottery was not good, and everyone was shocked. The mother said on the sand table that she blamed me...... Blame me for killing her. Taiping straightened his back and said, "Father, you allow me to go to the monk's house." Her eyes were red, but she wanted to be strong, "You all say that I am a hindrance to my father and mother, and my husband is harmful to my son, and even caused the decline of the country's fortunes and the disintegration of the royal family." Then I'll go to the monk's house!"

The emperor looked at the crowd and said, "Take the sign and take a look." ā€

Tian said: "Your Majesty, it is the fault of the concubines to condone the harem today. The princess was just angry for a while, please don't be angry with the princess. ā€

Over there, Zhong Si had already brought up the stick, and the emperor ignored Tian's words.

A bucket full of skewers, the one that had been drawn out was set aside. The emperor calmly pinched it and looked at it carefully, and suddenly smiled.

"Silly boy, you've been tampered with. ā€

Taiping was so aggrieved that she didn't have time to react, so she heard her father continue: "This must be someone joking with you." When I was a teenager, I also liked to bluff people with this method. You listen to your father's words, what undead witch Gu, what gods and monsters prophesy, you can't count. You are the princess of Da Zhou, and your father will ensure that you will be rich and safe all your life. ā€

After saying that, the stick was casually thrown aside by the emperor.

The children sitting secretly went to look at it, and saw a red word signed on it:

Tianjiao Jade Ruyi, marry the north wind.

Fly 10,000 miles, and it is difficult to get together after you go.

Say goodbye to your father and mother with tears, and endure your flesh and bones.

Everything sometimes declines, and the mountain is long repaired.

The sea has been too peaceful for a long time, and it is difficult to know the joy and sorrow.

Hu Ji eighteen songs, blowing dreams to Liangzhou.

The emperor glanced at the people with different expressions below, and sneered: "Taiping is not sensible, you have experienced the scourge of witchcraft sixteen years ago, are you not sensible?"

Tian, Xu, Wei, and Helan knelt on the ground. The rest of the concubines were still young, and they also knelt down one after another under the look of each other.

Tian was the head, and he bowed his guilt: "Your Majesty ......"

The Emperor interrupted her and said, "You don't have to say much. Concubine Wei, come forward. ā€

Concubine Wei was suddenly pointed, and she almost fell down in panic.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Concubine Wei hurriedly argued, "The concubine is to see that the princess misses her mother, and the concubine is well......-intentioned."

The emperor said, "You have no good intentions. You are stupid. ā€

Concubine Wei had a pool of tears in her eyes, crumbling, pitiful.

Yongtai Yongan is the youngest, but he is also calm. Yongtai knelt beside Concubine Wei and said sharply: "How can my father blame my mother for nothing! Sister Taiping drew the lot by herself, could it be that the mother concubine forced her to draw it!"

The emperor sighed, decided not to bother with Yongtai, turned his head and asked, "Where is Yun Ling?"

Yun Ling came over and saluted without humility or arrogance.

The emperor raised his chin and said, "Tell me." ā€

Yun Ling Daonuo.

"As we all know, the minister is from the Southern Yun Clan, and it is rumored that the Yun Clan has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods. Concubine Wei probably took the legend seriously, and a few days ago she specially asked the minister for a technique that could communicate with the dead soul for a short time. The minister thought that Concubine Wei wanted to take advantage of the Midyear Festival to say hello to her deceased family, so she didn't tell Niangniang, the technique was just a trick. Who would have expected that Niangniang would actually have such a mind. ā€

When Taiping heard this, his eyes widened: "Blinding the eyes...... The words in the sand table were not written by the soul of my mother?"

Yun Ling said gently: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you asked Concubine Yan Niang Niang'an, did you want to get the answer 'An' or 'Uneasy'?"

Taiping said: "Naturally, it's 'An'." ā€

Yun Ling nodded: "Then the sand table will write 'An'." This is what you want to write yourself, and whether you have a spirit with Concubine Yan Niangniang or not, you don't want to do it. ā€

Yongtai said: "Father, since this so-called prayer of the ghosts and gods is fake, then the concubine naturally has no sin! Everything is Sister Taiping herself is too serious!"

The emperor frowned, but he didn't get angry in the end: "Who prepared the sign?"

Several Tsing Yi attendants were escorted to kneel in front of the palace, trembling.

The emperor glanced at it casually and said, "Even such an ominous sentence was put in the palace banquet lottery, and you also made tricks and feet to let the princess draw it, you are so bold." ā€

Several waiters shouted in a loud voice, crying so much that tears and snot were in a mess, and the dignitaries who sat down couldn't help but feel nauseous.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty spares your life!

"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids are illiterate, and they don't know that the words on the slip are not good, otherwise the slaves and maids will not dare to offend the princess even if they eat the leopard's gall!"

One of them suddenly remembered something, and pointed to a man next to him who was shaken into chaff: "Your Majesty! The slave knows who did it! It's him! He's literate!"

The person next to him was also pressed to the ground by the guards, and without asking, he poured beans into a bamboo tube and said that after the banquet was arranged in the afternoon, Fengzao Palace asked people to come over to check it.

"After Zhao Shanggong left, there were more signs, and the slave maid picked it up and looked at it, it was the one that Princess Taiping pulled out. ā€

Concubine Xu frowned.

Zhong Si whispered beside the emperor, and a purple-clothed female official was used to the ground.

The emperor asked, "Fengzao Palace Shangshu, why do you have any grudges with Princess Taiping, and even take the opportunity to set up witchcraft to intimidate her?"

Concubine Xu had to come out and said, "Your Majesty, this woman has served as a concubine for more than a year, and she is the concubine of the Zhao family's Changping Marquis." ā€

The Emperor nodded: "I remember. ā€

Zhao Pu, the Marquis of Changping, the eldest son of the old Zhao Xiang, was born as a concubine, and when he became an adult, he had to be named the Marquis of a thousand households, and he had retired from the position of the Great Sima for more than ten years, basically eating and waiting for death. In early May this year, he died violently in his Hou mansion, and it is said that he ate too many melons because he was greedy for cold. Because he was not an incumbent official, and he was a concubine, his youngest daughter was not eligible to be selected for the palace. But being a fourth-grade female official, and being a fourth-grade female official under Concubine Xu, who once served Empress Zhao, this Zhao girl's heart is also forbearant enough. Empress Zhao was still there when she entered the palace, and she was able to be arranged to go to Fengzao Palace, I am afraid it was also Empress Zhao's handiwork. A few days ago, she was bullying the Zhao family outside Zhao Wan'er's Feixia Palace, and Concubine Xu always thought that she had a grudge against the Zhao family.

The woman in purple said: "At this time, I know that the surname Zhao who moved out of me is here." Xu Liangzi, didn't you collude with Concubine Wei and tell me to release the lot?"

Xu Liangzi is Concubine Xu's maiden name.

Concubine Wei said loudly, "You lie!" She looked at the emperor with teary eyes, "Your Majesty, the concubine just asked Yun Ling to take the sand table, and the concubine didn't ......"

The emperor said lightly: "If you are stupid like this, stop your mouth in time." ā€

Concubine Wei was aggrieved and frightened, big tears fell down like beads, obviously more than thirty, but she looked only in her early twenties, delicate and willful, but also weak and timid, no wonder the emperor has been favored for so many years. Now I want her to shut up, maybe I am not afraid that she will be involved in it and stir it up more and more.

Concubine Xu didn't know what to feel in her heart, so she only said calmly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has nothing to do with Princess Taiping, why bother to harm her?"

Yongtai rushed out to seek justice for his mother: "Who knows why the noble concubine wants to harm Sister Taiping! The people in the mother's own palace were ordered by the mother to secretly attack, is it still to blame my mother!"

The emperor had a little headache and said, "Yongtai shut up." Zhao ...... Shang Shu," he didn't remember the woman's name at all, "You said that Concubine Wei and Concubine Xu colluded, is there any basis?"

The woman in purple said, "Naturally." Wei Ruxian was worried that the matter of harmony would fall on his daughter, and he hurriedly roared to push Princess Taiping out of harmony; Xu Liangzi's son colluded with Rouran, and King Xiutu did everything possible to ask to marry Princess Taiping, and the two sides hit it off, so there is today's scene. ā€

The emperor laughed, ignoring the uproar on Xungui's side, and many people asked about "King Yan colluding with Rouran", and only said: "Then the Zhao family did not interfere in this matter?"

The woman in purple said: "Although I have the surname Zhao, I am not a member of the Zhao family. She glanced at Zhao Gou Zhao An in the Xungui pile, and said, "The Zhao family has the plans of the Zhao family, and it has never had anything to do with me. I just did what I was told, and now that the matter is revealed, I am only telling the truth. ā€

The emperor looked at her for a while and said, "You have a lot of backbone, maybe both I and the Zhao family underestimate you." However, I don't believe that Concubine Xu would do this. As for Concubine Wei, she is just a protector of her daughter, and she was used by you. ā€

The woman in purple said, "Since Your Majesty has already made a choice in your heart, what else is you asking me to do?"

The emperor nodded: "Okay." Then you can go in peace. ā€

The woman in purple kowtowed slowly and solemnly three times: "Courtier, farewell Your Majesty." ā€

The guard stepped forward and dragged her away, but the woman in purple never cried out for grievances and did not look back.

The ladies in the palace were quiet for a while, and the nobility of the nobles over there was louder:

"Your Majesty, is it true that this woman said that 'King Yan colluded with Rouran'!"

"Your Majesty has refused to send troops several times, is it because you want to choose peace?"

"Your Majesty......"

The emperor raised his hand and pressed down weakly, and the sound on that side stopped abruptly, and everyone looked nervously at the top.

A war is related to the survival and decline of many families. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Zhao family relied on years of conquest, and now even the imperial power has to be feared, even if it is purged, it is necessary to look at the meaning of Zhang Pinghou stationed in Liangzhou, which is the spirit and glory that other families can't think of.

The emperor looked ahead, his eyes seemed to be empty, and he said slowly: "Given, Princess Yongtai, the thirteen towns in the northwest." ā€

Concubine Wei was crazy when she heard this, and the maid next to her almost couldn't hold it. Regardless of her identity, she grabbed the ground with her head, and the pearls on her head splashed out, shattering all over the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Wei said hoarsely, "That's our daughter! Your Majesty! Please! Please! Don't let her go! Your Majesty!"

Yongtai was stunned, and before he could react, he only went to pull Concubine Wei: "Mother, what are you doing...... Aren't you going to give me the town to be Tang Muyi?"

Yong'an obediently stayed in the seat surrounded by maids, so calm that he didn't care about all the turmoil, and she could turn a blind eye to the madness of her own mother.

The emperor looked at Yongtai lovingly and said, "Yongtai, you come up." ā€

Yongtai looked at his mother, "But ......"

The Emperor said, "Come to my father." ā€

Yongtai walked up the stairs step by step and snuggled into the emperor's arms: "Father, since my mother has done nothing wrong, can you let her get up?"

The emperor stroked her hair, helped her push the broken hair on her forehead aside, and said, "Yongtai, my father wants you to go to Rouran and kiss." ā€

Yongtai stood up suddenly: "No...... Isn't it Sister Taiping?Why me?!"

The emperor didn't speak, Yongtai looked at everyone and found that everyone also had blank expressions.

"Then why don't you let Sister Qinghe go?" Yongtai panicked, "Sister Qinghe, Sister Taiping, they are all of the age to be married. I'm only thirteen!"

The emperor said, "Yongtai, you are sensible. Whatever do you want? Your dowry will be the most and most luxurious among the princesses of the Great Zhou, the thirteen towns in the northwest will be taxed to you from now on, the people in the household will give you a servant, and Liangzhou will also build a palace for you, if you miss your father, go to the palace, and your father will find someone to see you. ā€

Yongtai said loudly: "I don't want any dowry, I don't want any palace!" She looked around again, and suddenly saw Yong'an shrinking in the corner, as if she saw some savior, pointed at Yong'an with one hand, and pulled the emperor's sleeve with the other hand and said: "Father, you let Yong'an go! You let Yong'an go!"
