Ziyu wanted to hug her tightly, but her mind suddenly recalled the scene when she and Li Wei spoke for the first time.

"Do you know me?"

"You are the princess of Chaoyang, my sister. ”

His hand loosened.

She is his interpretation flower, she is his song of forgetting worries, but she is also the princess of Chaoyang and his sister.

She didn't notice Ziyu's silence, she caught a glimpse of a low stone behind him, so she struggled twice to stand up, lowered her head and asked, "Brother, did you fall and hurt?"

Ziyu was silent.

Li Wei immediately went to check his back: "Did it really hurt?"

Ziyu shook her head at this time: "No." I'm scared of you!"

Leaving the hippie smile: "I knew you would catch me!"

"Great Prince, Great Prince!" came the sound of a call in the distance.

Ziyu said to Liwu: "It's Ah Chang who has come to look for me! ”

Li Wu waved his hand at him helplessly, thinking that the sword practice he had said was about to be in the soup again.

Seeing what Ziyu and Ah Chang were talking to, Ziyu made a gesture with her from afar that I was leaving, and then left with Ah Chang.

Looking at Ziyu's back, seeing that it was still early, it seemed that he had another day of idleness.

Ever since she was ten years old, Rhett hadn't asked her to go to school again.

I hoped that she could learn a musical instrument or sing and dance, but it turned out to be too naughty and she didn't learn anything.

When I go home at this point, I will be forced by my mother to learn the guqin, and it is uncomfortable to think about it.

No, before he could get to his room, he was caught by Rui'er.

"Princess, Concubine Hua asked you to go to her when you come back. ”

Li Wei turned his head and glared at her fiercely, but he still walked over according to his words.

Concubine Hua's room was lit with incense, it was the smell of gardenias, and she took a deep breath, she liked this sweet taste.

"Come here. Concubine Hua beckoned to her.

"Mother, Sorrow really can't learn Nuhong and Guqin. She grimaced.

Concubine Hua didn't speak, just pointed to the small stool in front of her, and had no choice but to sit down.

"I know you don't like those, and from today onwards, I'm not going to push you anymore. Concubine Hua's voice was not blamed.

Li raised her head blankly, but saw her mother looking at her helpless smile.

"Mother, are you disappointed in me?" asked Li with a sad face.

Concubine Hua didn't answer him directly, but turned to something else: "Your uncle was summoned by your father yesterday, and he will soon go to the south to fight. ”

The name of the country where Liwu is located is 'Wei', and there has been no war for 50 years.

"Has the situation become so serious now?" she was full of anxiety, after all, as the princess of a country, the honor and disgrace of the country were closely related to her.

Concubine Hua half-lowered her eyes and said: "Ten years ago, there were often small disputes in the south, but the scale was not large, and the soldiers stationed in the city were still capable of suppressing it. Coupled with the fact that your father treated the emperor with benevolence, and delivered grain and livestock to help them every year, this faded down. ”

"Then why don't you attack them with the whole country at the beginning? It's just a small country, where do you need your father to beat them every year?"

"Worry, no matter how sharp the knife is, it will be dull if it is not sharpened often. It has not been a war for 50 years, and if it resumes, it will inevitably damage the national body. Even if there is a victory, how many people will be displaced? Moreover, the decline of national power will only provoke other countries to attack. The land of the Central Plains, rich in products and pleasant climate, is the coveted land of every country, where can your father act rashly. ”

Thinking about Concubine Hua's words, he nodded.

"Then, if you don't plan to fight, why do you want to send your uncle there!"

"Because the past ten years of nurturing and appeasement have turned a small country into a country that cannot be underestimated. Since the beginning of the year, the people there have been plagued by drought, and the aid given to them by your father is not enough at all! I don't know which thief put forward the slogan 'It is better to occupy the Central Plains than to rely on the Central Plains,' so this battle finally reached a situation where it had to be fought. Hua Fei then explained.

"But once it starts, maybe it won't end..."Li Wei felt panicked in his heart, "Because the good days are coming to an end, so, mother, can you do whatever I like?"

Hua Mo was silent for a while, but in fact, her original intention was not like this.

The Southern 'Governors' were determined to go to war because they did not believe that the Hindu would always provide them with food and necessities. But it is not impossible for them to believe, and the easiest way is to 'get along'.

In order to avoid war, ancient monarchs would marry their own daughters to warless countries.

In this way, the two countries will become one family from two families, and there will be no need for the kingdom to fight against the other countries.

After all, rivers of blood and lives are a sight that every monarch does not want to see.

Although there are three daughters of Ruidi, if he really wants to take the step of harmony, he will definitely pick out the best one to show his sincerity.

Judging from Hua Qi's position, he didn't want his daughter to go to that wild place. But if you are proficient in female celebrities and musical instruments, let alone a princess, I am afraid that there is no one more suitable and friendly than her in this country. So, it's better not to touch those things.

Hua Mo didn't want to add trouble to Liwu Pingbai, after all, Rui Di didn't have the idea of revealing harmony, if he said it for no reason, it would just add to the chaos.

So, she embraced her sorrows in her arms, hugged her and said, "I don't want my child to be good, but I want you to be happy." I hope you can get everything you want, but you won't meet any grievances. ”

"Mother, concubine..."Li Wei felt that his mother was very strange today, but he couldn't say why.

On the second day, Liwu went to look for Ziyu again, but he couldn't find his shadow for half a day.

She couldn't think of a reason, so she had to grab Ah Chang and come over to ask.

"My good chief, where is my brother?"

"At the Emperor's place! I haven't been back since yesterday. "Ah Chang knows that the eldest prince is very fond of Princess Chaoyang, and he knows everything and says everything.

"Didn't you come home overnight?"

Ah Chang nodded.

Let him go, and the mystery in his heart is getting bigger and bigger.

Why did my father suddenly summon Ziyu, and why did he have to talk all night?

The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt, so she simply walked to her father's palace.

If you want to know the truth, just ask?

As soon as I reached the root of the courtyard wall of the main hall, I heard the voice of Queen Yan.

I know that Suo Suo is a little unreal.

Li Wei took out the 'amplification grass' that he had asked Mo Yi for from his arms and stuffed it into the root of his left ear, and the sound of a clear conversation flowed in.

"In this way, there is a general of labor. ”

"Queen, don't worry! As long as this great prince is out of the palace, he will not be able to help him! Even if he has three heads and six arms, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to this palace. ”

"I want to be careful. ”

"Yes. ”

Li Wei felt trembling all over, and she stood tightly against the base of the wall, until she heard the footsteps of Empress Yan and General Qian moving away.

There was a sentence circling in his mind repeatedly: Empress Yan is going to kill Ziyu!!

She knew this General Qian, and he was his uncle's protégé. The correspondence is also relatively close, and the things that my uncle brought into the palace for her and her mother several times were all through his hands.

Thinking of this, my heart is pounding, is it unbelievable to be so close to someone?

When did Empress Yan arrange her own people to their side, and was there anyone else besides General Qian?

She didn't dare to think about the rest of this, and now she wanted to tell Ziyu this. Mo Yi said that Ziyu was his elder brother, and they had to take care of each other.

I didn't dare to disturb Emperor Rui anymore, so I obediently went to the palace of Ziyu to wait for him.

When the sun sets, Liwu finally looks forward to his return.

A golden-red halo fell all around him, and he looked up at her and smiled, as beautiful as a painting.

I was stunned by my worries, I didn't feel these preciousness in the past, but now I am afraid that I will lose them.

"Why are you still here at this time, have you eaten?" Ziyu asked.

Li Wei shook his head: "What did my father tell you? Why have you been talking for so long? You can't hide it from me!"

Ziyu smiled faintly: "It's a long story, I haven't eaten for a day, I'm very hungry, can you stay and eat together?" ”

Li Wu nodded vigorously.

Ziyu asked the palace people to prepare the food, and asked Ah Chang to go to Luhua Hall to tell Concubine Hua that Princess Chaoyang was here with him, so there was no need to worry.

Li Wei saw that his small bowl was sandwiched by purple jade and piled up into a small mountain, but he couldn't eat a bite.

"What's wrong, uncomfortable?" Ziyu asked, putting down the bamboo chopstick in her hand.

"It's okay, I ate too much at noon and I'm not hungry now. Brother, eat quickly!" Thinking that he hadn't eaten for a day, he couldn't talk to him about such a serious topic right now, which disturbed his appetite.

After the meal, the palace people held the tea, Ziyu took a sip of it, and began to talk about today's things.

"When I was discussing with my father today, your uncle was also there. ”

"So, is it really going to war?"

Ziyu smiled: "It must be Concubine Hua who told you something! But it's not necessarily, this battle will definitely happen, but there must be some preparations." My father asked your uncle and 300 elite soldiers to go to the border between the two countries first. Maps and places where you can hide, hide, and rest must all be clear. ”

"Where is 300 elite soldiers..."

"Your uncle is experienced, and a hundred elite soldiers are enough! It's just that my father wants me to learn from General Hua and let me go with him, so he is more cautious. ”

Li Wei bit his lip: "Why does it have to be you? Father and Emperor are not the only son. ”

Ziyu was stunned, knowing that she was angry, but she didn't know why.

"I thought you'd be happy. It was precisely because my father took a fancy to me that he deliberately only let me go. There are not many opportunities like this, if it goes well, maybe there will be military power and fiefdoms!" Ziyu understands his current position in the palace, and all this glory and wealth is his bearing the name of the eldest prince.

But in the battle in the palace, this kind of reputation can't keep anything! He hopes that there is a force that can protect Li Wei, and if he holds the military power, even if it is only a part, no matter who wants to move him, he will think a little more.

"What's the use of those wants, I just want my brother to be safe!!" Li Wei suddenly whimpered and threw himself into Ziyu's arms.

Ziyu was dazed.

He lowered his head, the real tears already wetting his heart through his thin clothes.

Ziyu remembered that in ten years, this was the second time she cried for him...
