5. Chapter 5
Guiyun Building.
Tang Yu led the third princess into the threshold and found that the first floor was very spacious, the north side was full of books, row after row of bookshelves, like a large study, and the fragrance of books floated. The south window is bright and bright, and there are two words hanging on the wall, the pen is strong and powerful, and the cold is pressing, and there is no payment on it.
Seeing these two words, Tang Yu inadvertently appeared in his mind with Song Qin's indifferent eyes, and vaguely guessed the person with the inscription.
Guiyunlou should be an important place in the palace, and the third princess is a child, how could she think of coming here to wait for her?
"Sister Yu, sit. The third princess led Tang Yu to the desk like a little master.
Tang Yu first hugged the girl to the chair by the window, and asked her curiously when she sat down: "Everyone else is enjoying the flowers in the garden, why didn't the third princess join them?"
If it is a temptation, then in Guiyun Tower, there will never be only two pairs of their masters and servants.
Tang Yu's back was cold.
"I don't like them, so I'm here to wait for Sister Yu. The third princess said a little aggrievedly, "Why did Sister Yu come so late?" I want to go to the third floor to see if you have arrived, but the imperial uncle's guards will not let me go, and I will only be allowed to play on the first floor. β
Tang Yu smiled and touched the girl's head, "Sister Yu has something at home, it's delayed, give, this is Sister Yu's gift to the third princess." β
The third princess likes to receive gifts the most, happily took the sachet in Tang Yu's hand, touched the delicate pattern on it, and then raised it to her nose to smell the taste, she liked it very much, "Sister Yu is so good." β
Tang Yu looked down at the little girl, and found that the third princess's face was much rounder, and her complexion was also very good, not like she had been wronged. I wanted to lead the third princess to the lake to enjoy the scenery, avoiding Song Qin's ears and eyes to ask about the current situation of the third princess, and in an instant, he felt that with Song Qin's majesty, he really wanted to know her conversation with the third princess, frowning The third princess would definitely explain honestly, but at that time, it would seem that her motives were not pure.
She waited patiently for her chance.
The third princess didn't return to the palace for a long time, thinking about the queen mother and the royal brother, and asked Tang Yu if she had entered the palace recently.
Tang Yu nodded and said softly: "I just went there at the beginning of the month, and the Queen Mother invited me to enjoy the chrysanthemums. β
Song Qin hid in the corner above, looking at the little girl who was talking cautiously by the window through the gap in the handrail, and his eyes were even more interested.
He knew the Queen Mother's secret order, but he didn't expect Tang Yu's calm reaction.
Sure that Tang Yu's words and deeds would not show his handle, Song Qin turned around and walked up, still silent.
Hearing Tang Yu mention the Queen Mother, the third princess's black and white eyes showed a trace of envy and longing, because the imperial uncle was not around, she whispered to Sister Yu, who she trusted, "I think the Queen Mother misses the imperial brother, do they miss me?"
Tang Yu smiled, "I think about it, but the Queen Mother said that as long as the third princess is happy, it will be the same wherever she lives." Look at you, you're fatter than before you got sick, don't you like the prince very much?"
Even if it wasn't to inquire for the Queen Mother, Tang Yu was also very concerned about the life of the third princess in Duanwang's Mansion.
The third princess nodded vigorously, and when she mentioned Uncle Huang, her eyes were brighter than when she mentioned the Empress Dowager, "Uncle Huang likes me very much, every day before I go to bed, he will come to see me, but Uncle Huang is too busy and only comes back every night, and he will not accompany me on my birthday today." β
Pouted, bowing his head to play with the sachet he had just received.
Tang Yu was very surprised, she didn't expect the third princess to like the ghost prince who killed people without blinking, perhaps, the third princess couldn't tell what real care was, thinking that Song Qin was good to her when she looked at her before going to bed? In this way, the queen mother is indeed not as good as Song Qin, the queen mother has the emperor to take care of, and she has to take care of the harem, it is impossible to take care of the third princess like a real mother.
However, seeing that the third princess was so happy, Tang Yu didn't say anything, almost everything she wanted to know was known, Tang Yu coaxed the third princess, "Let's go to the garden, let's go to the garden, so many guests came to celebrate the third princess's birthday, but the two of us are whispering here, and it's not good to be known." β
The third princess pouted, and finally obediently agreed.
Tang Yu hugged her down, led the third princess out, turned to the door, and faced the python-robed man who was only a dozen steps away from the door, wearing a jade crown on his head, his face was cold, and his ink-colored robe further highlighted his solemn majesty. Seeing her, the man frowned and stopped.
Tang Yu was afraid of him, bowed his head and stepped out of the threshold, and saluted Song Qin, "The courtiers pay their respects to the prince." "Keep your eyes fixed on the ground.
The third princess had already happily run in front of Song Qin and looked up at him, "Uncle Huang came back so early today!"
Song Qin glanced at his niece lightly, and his gaze moved to Tang Yu again, "Why are you here?"
For some reason, he preferred to see her talking softly with her niece, and now he was so dull and hypocritical, he didn't like it.
Tang Yu's eyes were lowered, and he replied calmly: "When the courtiers entered the mansion, the porter told the third princess to wait in Guiyun Tower, so ......"
The third princess testified crisply: "Uncle Huang, I invited Sister Yu over. β
The niece protected her, Song Qin was silent, stared at Tang Yu for a while, and said coldly: "Stand down." β
Tang Yu stood up straight and glanced at the third princess, but before the third princess could react, Song Qin opened her mouth and asked the third princess to go with her.
He didn't have her patience to coax the child.
The third princess was a little reluctant, but she still preferred to be with the gentle and amiable Sister Yu and let Tang Yu hold hands again.
Tang Yu led the third princess away, and Song Qin entered Guiyun Tower with an expressionless face.
It wasn't until the sound of the prince's footsteps went to the second floor that the two guards guarding the door quietly glanced at each other.
It's strange, the prince is obviously inside, why did he come from the front again? Could it be that there is a second door in Guiyun Tower?
And Chu Feng, the personal guard who had been guarding the third floor, lowered his head after hearing the footsteps of the prince going upstairs.
He is the only one who knows that the prince has jumped off the building for the first time, and once he shows any different colors, he is afraid that his life will be lost tonight.
As for why the prince jumped off the building, he won't sue anyone if he is killed, in fact, the prince jumped off the building in order to ......
Looking at the eldest girl of the Tang family, the Tang Yu Tang girl who was rumored to be the first lady in the capital at the age of thirteen is indeed worthy of this prestigious Tang Yu.
Frightened, it wasn't until Song Qin walked into the room without stopping in front of him that Chu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the other half had to see if he could survive tonight.

Tang Yu had lunch in the palace, and coaxed the third princess, who was reluctant to let her go, for a while, before leading Mo Lan back to the Jingning Marquis Mansion.
Tang Muyuan went to the military department, Wei Zhao was not worried about her, so he ran over to wait for news without eating at noon.
"How's it going?" sent Mo Lan to guard outside Songfeng Hall, Wei Zhao looked at his sweetheart nervously, "Nothing happened, right?"
"Do you think I'm in trouble?" Tang Yu sat down in his chair and looked at him with a smile.
Wei Zhao sat down opposite her and explained with a solemn expression: "After the early dynasty, he met with a few ministers, and it didn't take long for him to return to the palace, it was too abnormal, I couldn't help but worry. β
Tang Yu was a little surprised, it was almost noon when she saw Song Qin, so where did Song Qin go more than an hour ago?
Forget it, those have nothing to do with her.
"I'm fine, I met when I was talking to the third princess, and he left after the ceremony. Tang Yu comforted him again, "By the way, the third princess looks very good, alas, she is small and ignorant, and if she treats her a little better, the third princess will be satisfied, where can she really distinguish the good." β
Wei Zhao shook his head, and he could guess it.
Tang Yu had just come back from the banquet, and was a little tired, so he got up and asked Wei Zhao to return to the palace early, Wei Zhao was reluctant to look at her, and then left.
Tang Yu returned to Mei Ge, changed his clothes, and lay down in bed to take a nap.
Just when she was in the middle of her dream, Qingcheng, a fortress in northern Xinjiang, sent someone to send an 800-mile urgent battle report, and the Huns led 200,000 iron cavalry to sneak attack!
Song Qin hurriedly entered the palace and convened the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss the battle.
Tang Yu was woken up by the steward in his sleep, and when he learned that the war on the frontier had started, his heart suddenly went up and down.
My father is a military attachΓ©, will it ......
In the end, he was afraid of something, and at dusk Tang Muyuan sent someone to send a message to the eldest daughter, asking the eldest daughter to pack his bags for him, and he would lead the troops to Qingcheng early tomorrow morning.
Tang Yu sat down in a chair, his face pale.
~
Jingning Hou Mansion, Songfeng Hall.
It was dark outside, the lights in the room were dim, Tang Yu had just sat down, the chair was not yet hot, she stood up again, walked to the door, and looked forward anxiously, hoping to see her father's figure.
"Girl, why don't you go back to your room to rest first, and I'll call you when Master Hou comes back?" Mo Lan came back with a hot tea, thoughtful and authentic.
Tang Yu shook her head, her father was going to go on the expedition tomorrow morning, and tonight was the only chance for her to say goodbye to her father, and she would wait until midnight.
Standing at the door looking forward to it, unable to wait for anyone, Tang Yu returned to the chair in annoyance.
Mo Lan poured her tea.
Tang Yu picked up the tea bowl, and when he heard movement in the yard while drinking tea, Tang Yu was overjoyed, and immediately put down the tea bowl and rushed out, but when he went out, he saw Rong leading her maid to come eagerly.
Surprise turned into disappointment, Tang Yu's face sank, and he went back to sit on the chair.
"Yu'er, hasn't your father come back yet? Why didn't you send someone to the palace to inquire about the news?" "The husband doesn't like him anymore, the Rong family treats her husband that day, and now the husband is going to the battlefield where the sword and gun are not long, and Rong's heart is like hanging in the air, after coaxing a pair of children to sleep first, she turned back again.
"My father was discussing the war with his ministers at this time, and sending someone over would only divide my father's heart. Tang Yu explained with a calm face.
Rong Shi thought about it, sat opposite Tang Yu, and complained with a long sigh, "So many ministers, why did you choose your father......?
At this time, he complained that the regent was coming, and he wished to send his daughter to someone's side for a banquet in the morning.
Tang Yu ignored Rong's nagging, she was upset.
My father had an injury to his left leg when he was young, but he didn't think anything about it at the time, but every autumn and winter in the past two years, my father's left leg would have a dull pain, so my father burned charcoal relatively early, and tried not to go out in winter. Now my father is going to the northern Xinjiang, which is colder than the capital, and the Huns are menacing again, Tang Yu ......
Looking at the dark night, Tang Yu raised his chin slightly.
She can't cry, crying is not a good sign.
But she was really afraid, she no longer had a mother, her father was her dearest person in this world, Tang Yu was afraid that her father would have an accident.
