Chapter 64: Half an Empty City

The first sentence was said to Tao Ziyuan, and the latter sentence was said to the four people who followed.

"Childe clearly wants to take Master Tao to see the world, so women in the boudoir like us won't join in the fun. ”

Yan Baoqian said that she greeted Xiao Han, and the two groups of people passed by, I don't know if it was Tao Ziqi's illusion, and for a moment Li Xiangqing's eyes flashed a trace of ...... Abhor.

But it soon disappeared.

Tao Ziyuan looked at the bracelet on her wrist, thinking that she could only thank Wei Qingyi in the future.

Originally, she thought that the prince was just talking casually, but she never thought that she would really take herself to the restaurant and meet the people playing chess.

The second floor is a whole floor, because there are people playing chess, it has been emptied, except for the guy who is responsible for conveying the process of hand talk in the store, only Xiao Han and Tao Ziyuan are watching.

Looking at the alternation of black and white on the chess game, Tao Ziyuan only had a feeling of crying and laughing.

I can't read it, I really can't understand it.

I don't know if my emotions are too strong, so that Xiao Han next to him looked over and smiled meaningfully, and Tao Ziyuan was heartless.

However, the weakness of heart did not hinder her from being drowsy, and it was not until the end of the chess game that the person next to her pushed herself, and Tao Ziyuan woke up, only to see Chen Yan with a disgusted look.

"Lin Feng. Xiao Han called.

"The subordinates are here. ”

"You adults are awake, and the hour is not early, take her back to rest. Xiao Han smiled,

"It's nothing to fall asleep here, but you have to be in the palace to be in good spirits. ”

Xiao Han left after speaking, his long figure gave people a sense of elegance, Tao Ziyuan pursed his lips depressedly, but Lin Feng next to him was smiling happily.

"What are you laughing at, what's so funny, isn't it boring if you can't understand it?" Tao Ziyuan asked.

"Yes, no problem, can we go back and rest, my lord?"

Lin Feng said with a smile, obviously perfunctory to her.

However, Tao Ziyuan doesn't care about these anymore, no matter how gentle a gentleman is, he will leave traces when he is disappointed in someone, and Xiao Han left her such a feeling.

turned around, went downstairs, and found Mrs. Lin and the others in Lin Mansion, Tang Xi, as soon as the group arrived in Lin Mansion, someone from the Prince's Mansion came over, saying that it was for the prince to send a message to Tao Ziyuan.

After the others dispersed, Tao Ziyuan asked the eunuch who came to deliver the message, "This father-in-law, I don't know what the prince has to explain?"

The eunuch glanced at Tao Zikite, and then said with a chuckle, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructed Miss Tao to go to the East Palace to learn to play chess after meeting His Majesty tomorrow. ”

Tao Ziyuan was slightly stunned, and sent the eunuch away in a half confusion, still a little difficult to come back to her senses.

————

The palace is not as splendid as imagined, but it is majestic and majestic, like a lion entrenched in a corner of Yandu, looking down on all living beings.

Changing into the palace dress sent by Chen Yan when he got up early, Tao Ziyuan followed Chen Yan and walked on the corridor of the palace, shuttling back, thirteen thresholds, and fifteen corridors wearing flowers, before walking to Weiyang Palace.

Kneeling on the cold floor, next to the burning stove, but Tao Zikite still didn't feel a trace of warmth, but broke out in a cold sweat.

Under the majesty of the emperor, it is a natural reaction of her body to have difficulty raising her head, and even if she has the heart, it is difficult to resist the momentum that she lost at the beginning.

"Chen Yan said that you saved the lives of half of the people on the border with one person against the Hu people, and I originally wanted to give you a great credit, but the princess of the Hu people was also killed by you, do you know that this matter makes me have a headache when negotiating with the Hu people. ”

The emperor said in a deep voice.

This emperor succeeded to the throne at a young age, and it can be said that he finally held power in the oppression of various forces, and expelled the Hu people on the border and greatly promoted the prestige of the country.

It can be said that no one hates Hu Ren more than him, because his sister was forced to marry Hu Renqin when he was young.

If we really have the heart to negotiate, we will not be able to sharpen our swords and sharpen our knives, and we will not be expelled and pursued again and again.

"The whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land, is it not the king's ministers, the border people of our dynasty are also the people of His Majesty, since the Hu people dare to provoke my Langtian Dynasty, we must be ready to be flattened, the Hu people only died a princess, but there is a half empty city in our dynasty, the people of Li have lost their relatives, and the generals and soldiers have been killed and injured countless times, how can the pain in the heart of my majesty be compared with a princess of the Hu people?"

Tao Ziyuan said, thinking of the scene of the river of blood, it was inevitable that her body would tremble.

"Yes, how innocent the people of Li are. The emperor glanced at Tao Ziyuan on the ground with appreciation, waved his hand and motioned for Chen Yan to help her up, looked at the ten-year-old girl in front of him, with thin shoulders, and asked

"Aren't you afraid of death? I heard that you could have escaped, or that you could have more than enough to protect yourself. ”

"I'm afraid. Tao Ziyuan lowered her eyes, "But those people, don't deserve to die, at least they shouldn't be pigs and sheep under the butcher's knife to be slaughtered." ”

The emperor was watching her, and that deep gaze made Tao Ziyuan feel as if a mountain was pressing on her body, making her breathless, as if she would become a ghost under the mountain if she was not careful.

"Purple Kite, is the name given by the second boy of Li Shiqiu's family?" The emperor's words suddenly changed, making Tao Ziyuan puzzled, not understanding what he meant, whether the answer just now was in line with his heart.

But after thinking about it, even if it doesn't suit his heart, he is powerless to recover it now. In front of such a shrewd person, perhaps all hiding is better than being true to yourself. This is what Chen Yan said.

"Yes. Tao Ziyuan replied.

"Purple kite, stay by my side in the future to do things, you don't need you to serve tea and water, you are responsible for reading to me, I am old, and my old eyes are dizzy and I can't see those things clearly. Don't think it's such a simple thing, go ahead, I'll let people announce you if there's something. ”

The emperor said, and very heroically kicked Chen Yan and Tao Ziyuan out.

Tao Zikite at the gate of Weiyang Palace was confused,

"So what the hell am I doing...... Is it in your favor or not?"

The palace people next to him were the inner eunuchs who served by the emperor's side, Liang Dong, looking at Tao Ziyuan's puzzled look, smiled and pursed his lips and said,

"Your Excellency doesn't know, our Majesty has always been able to make good use of it, and if it doesn't suit Your Majesty's wishes, Your Majesty will never stay in front of the palace. Congratulations, sir. ”

"Ah, Father-in-law Xie Liang, I'll go and familiarize myself with Lord Chen's route in the palace. ”

"Adults go slowly, and then rush back to Weiyang Palace after dinner, and Your Majesty will review the article after dinner. ”

Liang Gonggong said, like this, the people who serve in front of the king have become fine, Tao Ziyuan thanked him and followed Chen Yan to leave Weiyang Palace.

Going around all the way, I don't know if it was a coincidence or the route chosen by Chen Yan, I successfully avoided the nobles in the palace, and finally walked to a relatively open but slightly desolate courtyard.

Open because it's really big, and desolate because there's really no one.
