Song Qin took the third princess, and Tang Yu silently retreated to Wei Zhao's side, standing on Wei Zhao's side to watch the fireworks.

The people on the street were amazed, and the third princess also screamed again and again.

Although the people who accompanied the lanterns were too unexpected, Tang Yu was still attracted by the night scene tonight, looking at the fireworks blooming everywhere in the night sky, his eyes were dizzying, until the sound of the wooden steps stepping on the wooden steps suddenly came from outside, getting closer and closer. Her heart moved, looked at Wei Zhao, and the cousins and sisters turned around together.

"Lord Wang, Imperial Doctor Shen has prescribed a prescription, please take the third princess back to the house quickly. The black-clothed guard knelt down on one knee in front of the door and replied in a deep voice.

Tang Yu looked at the third princess with a happy face.

The third princess looked at the guards blankly, as if she didn't understand the meaning of what she had just said.

"It's time for Nuan Nuan to drink medicine, and Uncle Huang will set off fireworks for you tomorrow. Song Qin held his niece in his left hand and put on a hat for her with his right hand.

The third princess nodded her head and turned her head to say goodbye to Tang Yu, "Sister Yu, I'll go back, I'll play with you when I'm well." ”

Tang Yu responded with a smile: "Okay, when the third princess is well, I will go to the palace to see you." ”

The third princess smiled happily.

After the niece finished speaking, Song Qin ignored Tang Yu and the others, hugged his niece and left quickly.

"Let's go, too. "This is Song Qinding's restaurant, and Wei Zhao doesn't want to take advantage of him.

"Wait, I'm afraid there will be gossip when we are seen leaving with him. Tang Yu returned to the window and said in a low voice.

Wei Zhao thought about it, it made sense, looked downstairs, and frowned: "The third princess has always been weak, this time I don't know what evil happened, the queen mother couldn't sleep and eat for this, and there was no big celebration in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year." Now it's okay, King Duan took the third princess back to the palace with his front foot, and the doctor on the back foot found a prescription for the disease, and the credit fell on him. ”

"Those who are clear are self-turbid, cousin, don't worry too much, the queen mother is open-minded and won't mind. Tang Yu stared at Song Qin's master and servant who had just walked out of the crane tower, and his eyes fell on the little girl in the man's arms, "I just hope that Imperial Doctor Shen's prescription will be useful and cure the third princess." ”

"Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the third princess will be fine. Knowing that she was more worried about the third princess, Wei Zhao said softly.

Tang Yu nodded, and saw Song Qin and his party go away, she put on her cloak and hood, and went downstairs with Wei Zhao.

On the night of the second day, fireworks were still everywhere in the capital, among which the fireworks in the Duanwang Mansion were the most prosperous. Xungui lives near the imperial city, Jingning Hou's Mansion and Duanwang's Mansion are only two quarters of an hour's carriage away, Tang Yu sat in the hexagonal pavilion with a cloak, looking at the fireworks above Duanwang's Mansion, imagining the excited little face of the third princess, and couldn't help but smile.

Mo Lan Huilan didn't know what happened last night, seeing her looking over there and laughing, Hui Lan whispered: "It's really strange, in previous years, Duanwang's Mansion was deserted no matter what festivals, and not a single firecracker was released, why is the prince so interested this year?"

"We only watch fireworks, regardless of whether people are right or wrong. Tang Yu lightly reminded the maids around him.

Hui Lan admitted her mistake in a low voice.

Tang Yu uncontrollably remembered last night's chance encounter because of Hui Lan's words, thought of Song Qin's long sword that threatened her, and those cold eyes without any emotion. has no good impression of the master's house, no matter how brilliant the fireworks are, they have lost their luster, Tang Yu hides his face and looks sleepy, and goes back to the room to rest.

At the end of the month, I heard about a big event.

The third princess gradually recovered, and the queen mother sent someone to take her back to the palace, but King Duan did not allow it, on the grounds that he had no children and no daughters around him, leaving the third princess to be filial piety in the house, and the uncle and nephew shared the family. The Queen Mother's people didn't even see the third princess, so they were "invited" out by the guards of Duanwang's Mansion.

Tang Yu couldn't help but frown when he got the news.

Since ancient times, only the emperor and queen took the princess and county lord into the palace to raise her, and I didn't hear that the queen mother was alive, and the imperial uncle took the princess and niece back to live in the palace for a long time. And he didn't pick up early or late, but took his niece back to the house to take care of him after the third princess fell ill, didn't he tell everyone that he felt that his niece was neglected in the palace, so he had to raise it personally?

Thinking of Wei Zhao's words, and then thinking back to Song Qin's careful care of the third princess, and the brilliant fireworks that night, Tang Yu had to wonder whether there was more truth revealed or more ingredients, but she only took pity on the third princess, who was only five years old, and didn't know that she had become a pawn for her trusted uncle to bully the queen mother.

bullying, but it made the Queen Mother speechless, after all, the third princess was sick in the palace, and it would be fine to leave the palace, so she could only carry this black cauldron.

Tang Yu went out again as a guest, and sure enough, he heard some gossip. Tang Yu is not very comfortable, the queen mother is gentle and demure, so the first emperor was alive when he gave the title of concubine, when the war was raging, the queen mother lost the emperor's second son, in recent years, the pure heart has few desires to eat fast and read the Buddha, is the most charitable and generous person, why treat a little princess for no reason?

Anyway, Tang Yu didn't believe it.

In September, the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and the Queen Mother summoned her to the palace to appreciate the chrysanthemums, Tang Yu went to the Wei family first and entered the palace with her aunt.

On the way, Tang chatted with his niece, "How is the family doing lately?"

In fact, both Tang Yu and Tang Lin are her own nieces, and when the sisters were young, Tang loved them equally, because Tang Yu lost her mother early, and she couldn't help but care more about her eldest niece. Later, when the children grew up, Tang Lin didn't know who she learned from a small family, and she had to compare her food, clothing, housing and transportation with her eldest sister, for example, she gave her nieces silk and satin materials, obviously just different colors, Tang Lin would always mutter that her sister's was better, and she was accused of being biased.

The little niece is not likable, and Tang's attitude naturally gradually cooled down, and she usually only takes Tang Yu into the palace.

"It's good, with your protection, who dares to bully me. Tang Yu whispered to her elders, her aunt loved her the most, in Tang Yu's eyes, her aunt was no different from her mother, she lived in the Wei family half of the time when she was a child.

Tang pinched his niece's little hand, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he just hoped that his niece would hurry up and marry her home as a daughter-in-law.

Soon, the mother and daughter followed the palace maid to Ci'an Palace.

The Queen Mother is in her early thirties, a few years younger than the Tang family, although she is the Queen Mother, she is dressed very plainly, and she is watching a pot of famous chrysanthemums in the hall. Seeing the two of them, the Queen Mother smiled and quipped: "Why did you come so slowly? I thought you two wouldn't come." ”

The skin is white and the lips are red, the eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, and when it is quiet, it looks like an empty valley orchid, and the smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.

But Tang Yu could see that the Queen Mother had reduced her appearance compared to the last time they met.

The Tang family also felt sorry for this noble sister-in-law, who was widowed at a young age, the emperor's son was young, and there was a regent uncle in the court, the mother and son lived a puppet life, even if it was useless to swallow her anger, they still tried their best to block her.

"When you enter the palace to see the Queen Mother, of course you have to dress up well, otherwise what should the Queen Mother do if she is unhappy?" Tang said affectionately, leading Tang Yu to the Queen Mother, and looked at the various chrysanthemums in front of him rarely, "It's strange, the pots in my house were also given to me by you, why are they not as good as you here?"

The Queen Mother chuckled, "Then I'll give my sister-in-law a few more pots, Yu'er, which one do you like, just say, don't be polite to the imperial aunt." ”

"Aunt Xie Huang, I like you here. Tang Yu smiled sweetly.

"It turns out that our Yu'er is the most greedy. The Queen Mother smiled and took Tang Yu's hand, took a closer look, and asked Tang Clan: "Yu'er seems to be tall again, do you say?"

Tang's chin bowed and boasted proudly: "The eighteen changes of the female college, and the longer Yu'er grows, the better she looks." ”

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement, I don't know what to think, and suddenly sighed softly, "I heard you say that the eighteenth change of the female university, I think of Nuan Nuan, I used to come to me sooner or later to say goodbye, I used to see it, and I let her play with two sentences, but now I haven't seen her for nearly a month, and my heart seems to be empty...... The child grows faster, and I don't know if the face has gained weight or not. ”

The words were full of sentimentality.

Tang Yu is a junior, and when it comes to the grievances between the Queen Mother and the Regent, she sensibly did not intervene and stood quietly beside Tang.

Tang comforted the Queen Mother a few words.

The Queen Mother smiled and cheered up again, "Okay, I'm here to invite you to enjoy the flowers today, don't mention those." ”

The three of them continued to enjoy the flowers.

was chatting about how to raise chrysanthemums, and the voice of the palace maid and eunuch greeting the emperor came from the courtyard, and the queen mother's eyes were gentle, and she said to the door: "The emperor has come back from the imperial study." ”

Soon, the eight-year-old little emperor Song Jin walked in in a bright yellow autumn robe, followed by Wei Zhao, who was in the wind of Yushu, one big and one small, who all looked at Tang Yu first when they came in. The boy simply likes a beautiful sister, and Wei Zhao's eyes are ......

The Queen Mother and Tang glanced at each other, and then looked at Tang Yu at the same time. Tang Yu was embarrassed, bent his knees and bowed to the little emperor, and turned his head to enjoy the flowers after completing the courtesy. The emperor is still young, and the queen mother specially allows them to meet in private without kneeling.

"Mother, aunt. Song Jin respectfully saluted the elders, got permission, and happily walked to Tang Yu's side, "Sister Yu, you haven't been in the palace to play for a long time." ”

"Because I have a lot of things to do every day. Tang Yu lowered his head and explained to the boy in a soft voice, "I want to study, and I want to be a housekeeper ......."

"You still have to play the piano and paint, don't you?" Wei Zhao leaned over and interjected playfully.

Tang Yu glanced at him.

Wei Zhao smiled, because there were no outsiders in the house, he relied on Tang Yu's side, and he followed Tang Yu wherever he went. The Queen Mother and Tang were not surprised, the two sat on the couch and watched the three juniors laughing around the chrysanthemums. Tang Yu was single-minded, not only to deal with Wei Zhao's witticisms, but also to answer the little emperor's questions, and also curious about what the Queen Mother Tang said, intermittently, hearing Tang mention the gossip outside, the Queen Mother laughed as she expected.

In front of the Zhenghe Palace, a little eunuch walked lightly to the regent, who was sitting behind the desk and watching the folds, and whispered.

The Tang family and the mother entered the palace very diligently, and Song Qin didn't know how many times he had heard of such a reply, so he nodded in response.

The little eunuch stooped down and retreated.

Song Qin continued to review the recitals.

After a busy day, I returned to the palace in the evening.

When the third princess heard that the imperial uncle had finally returned, she hurried over happily. In the palace, there was a royal brother to play with her, and when she came to the palace, the third princess was very bored as soon as the imperial uncle left, and almost crossed her fingers in the hope that the imperial uncle would come back soon.

After almost a month of getting along, the third princess thinks that she has figured out the temper of the imperial uncle, the imperial uncle does not like to laugh or quarrel, and does not like to listen to her say to return to the palace, but as long as she is obedient, the imperial uncle will agree to her whatever she wants.

"Uncle Huang, when is your birthday? I want to prepare a birthday gift for you. The little girl skillfully pounced on Song Qin's legs, looked up and asked with her little face, her face was flushed, she was a little fatter than before she was sick, and there was a shallow pear vortex on her right cheek when she spoke, which was cute and cute.

Song Qin lifted his niece to his lap, touched her head and asked, "Nuan Nuan's September 29th birthday, right?"

The third princess asked him about his birthday just to remind the imperial uncle that she was going to celebrate her birthday, but he didn't expect the imperial uncle to remember that the little girl was so happy that she forgot to continue to ask the imperial uncle, and nodded excitedly, "How did the imperial uncle know?"

Song Qin looked at the girl's clear and innocent eyes and said, "Uncle Huang knows everything, what gift does Nuan Nuan want?"

The third princess thought about it seriously, hugged the imperial uncle and coquettishly, "I want the imperial uncle to accompany me all day." ”

Song Qin frowned slightly.

He was not so idle, he set aside a day to spend with a child, and if it wasn't for his niece's danger, he wouldn't have taken her out to enjoy the lanterns. After the third princess recovered from her illness, he left his niece to live in the palace because the child was innocent, and Song Qin did not want her to die in the palace. But Song Qin didn't expect that his niece was becoming more and more afraid of him, and she didn't have enough food and clothing, so she even asked him to accompany her.

"Uncle Huang is busy, so I don't have time to accompany you. Song Qin said indifferently, not wanting to get used to the girl's inch.

The brilliance in the eyes of the third princess dimmed, and when she looked at the cold imperial uncle, she was about to cry in disappointment, but she endured it sensibly, "Well, then I'll wait for the imperial uncle to come to you when he is done." ”

Song Qin closed his eyes and raised his hand to stroke his forehead, he knew that he should not be kind.

"Does Uncle Huang have a headache?" the third princess asked worriedly when she saw him touching his forehead.

Song Qin's thin lips pursed.

The third princess looked at him nervously.

"Nuan Nuan, the girls outside the palace will invite the sisters from all provinces to come to the house to enjoy the flowers and eat the banquet on their birthdays, who do you want to invite, the imperial uncle will give them a post for you. Song Qin opened his eyes and asked the little niece on his lap who longed for a playmate.

The third princess's favorite playmate is the royal brother, but after thinking about it, the imperial brother is a man, not a sister, and the third princess immediately changed her choice, "I want to invite Sister Yu!"

The delicate face of the little girl when she bowed her head and coaxed her niece appeared in her mind, and Song Qin nodded, "Who else?"

The third princess blinked her eyes, she couldn't think of it, there were not many ladies invited into the palace by the queen mother, she only knew Sister Yu, and there was also Sister Lin, but the third princess didn't like her.

But how could Song Qin only give Tang Yu a post? Even if it did, Tang Muyuan would not let his daughter come.

Song Qin called the steward of the palace and asked him to post to all the officials in the capital who were above the third rank and had daughters in the palace, and asked them to come to celebrate the birthday of the third princess at the end of the month. The steward received the order, and seeing that the prince had no other instructions, he bowed his head and said goodbye, walked to the door, and the cold voice of the prince came from behind him, "Add one more sentence to the post of the Marquis of Jingning, and say that the third princess sincerely invites their eldest girl, please be sure to go to the banquet." ”

The steward promised.
