The next day, on the orders of the sage, Li Hui and Princess Changning came to the Yue Palace. However, after being confined by Jin Wuwei for dozens of days, the elegant and beautiful Yue Wangfu in the past has already revealed a dilapidated atmosphere. The grass was overgrown and the ground was full of dust, as if all the halls and pavilions had lost their color with the autumn wind and fallen leaves. In the huge palace, except for the ladies who lived in the main courtyard and a few cronies and servants who served them, there was no one occupied.

Li Hui stood outside the main courtyard, looking back at the empty courtyard in the distance, and couldn't help but think of the scene of people coming and going in the Yue Wangfu before. When it comes to heirs, Li Heng is the leader in a group of brothers and sisters, and there is no shortage of sons and daughters, and there are many sons and daughters. Because Li Heng was unwilling to split the family, in the past, both adult and underage children lived in the mansion, and almost every courtyard was inhabited by the master, which was very lively.

But what about having a strong offspring? The overthrow of the Yue Wangfu was, in the final analysis, that the two brothers who had never been educated well, the King of Guizheng County and the King of Langling County. Perhaps, the rebellion case of the Yue Wangfu has also made many discerning people finally wake up - having many sons is not a blessing, well-raised children can bring blessings, and poorly raised children will only harm others and themselves.

Wang, Gao and others, who had been under house arrest for many days, were also dressed in plain clothes, and they came out to receive the order with tired faces. When he heard the edict saying that the concubine Li Huanniang asked to guard the Zhaoling Tomb, the sage felt that his filial piety was commendable, retained his title of the county lord of Xin'an, and the king of Xin'an County immediately escorted her to the Zhaoling Tomb, the Wang family and the Gao family were stunned.

The county lord of Xin'an accepted the edict very calmly, and his eyes were full of firmness: "Thank you for your help with your cousin." She used to envy Princess Changning for having a happy young man, and she also regretted that they couldn't be together. She also fantasized about raising eyebrows with her future husband, but what the Wang family did made it unbearable for her to bear it anymore. She is a noble daughter of the clan, how can she swallow her anger for the sake of wealth and stability? Living with a man she felt ashamed of?

Rather than being miserable and tormented for decades to come, it is better to give yourself a sense of peace. Even if she wasted her youth, it was difficult to get a good marriage, and it was not bad to live a quiet life for the rest of her life. What's more, filial piety for grandparents should have been done, and at the same time, maybe it can also win back some praise for the father and brother who ruined their reputation for rebellion?

"Huanniang...... You...... You're such a stupid boy......" Wang said in a daze, and tears flowed down his face in an instant. At this moment, she is extremely remorseful - why did she insist on letting her young daughter marry back to her parents' family in the first place? And let the young son marry the daughter of the Wang family as a concubine? Ah Lang has told her several times that the Wang family is not as good as the next generation, and his vision is too short-sighted to enter the court. She insisted on not believing it, and blamed him for not helping the Wang family to seek high-ranking officials. It was her aunt and Concubine Wang who reminded her several times that she should not be swayed by her mother's family, and she did not take it to heart.

Now, her children have been humiliated by the Wang family, and she still wants to compromise and let her daughter marry under the fence, which is really too naïve!! Yes, a strong mother's family can make a woman raise her head in her husband's family, but if her mother's family is no longer credible, no longer protects her, and no longer cherishes blood and family affection, why should she hurt the hearts of her family members by taking care of them?

"I just want you to live a more stable life, ......" After wiping away her tears, Wang sighed lightly, "It should be good to stay in Zhaoling, your grandmother is still here, and Yue Niang and Xuanqi will also take care of you...... "She should be glad that whether it is Princess Changning or Li Hui, they are both credible good children." Moreover, the rebellion did not involve the princess, and she would definitely try her best to protect her granddaughter.

"Auntie, rest assured, I will definitely ask my grandfather and grandmother's spirit in heaven to bless you to reach Lingnan safely, and then return to Chang'an as soon as possible." The county lord of Xin'an knelt down in front of her and bowed his head. Then, she said to the much haggard Gao: "In the future, Sister-in-law Lao will be filial to my grandfather and aunt for me." ”

"Sister, don't worry." Gao replied with his head bowed, neither envious nor jealous, still calm as usual.

She has never been the daughter-in-law that the Wang family likes, but now it seems that the young daughter-in-law she likes is far inferior to the eldest daughter-in-law. Moreover, after they were placed under house arrest in the Yue Palace, the Wang family was busy drawing a line, and the Gao family was silent on the surface, but secretly sent a lot of money, food and clothing, and it was indeed a loving and righteous family.

"I want to take Yingniang away." The county lord of Xin'an said again.

Gao's eyes lit up slightly, and without hesitation, he went back to the room and hugged his daughter, who was only half a year old. She is also quite difficult in terms of childhood, and she has been married to Li Wei for many years, and now she only has a daughter from Yingniang. After learning that her family had been exiled to Lingnan, she panicked in her heart - her daughter was too young to travel thousands of miles to Lingnan in the cold winter, and it was very likely that she would die halfway. Originally, she wanted to entrust the child to her mother's family or the princess, but now the county lord of Xin'an actually offered to take her niece with her, but it couldn't be better.

Seeing that the county lord of Xin'an was carefully holding his little niece, Wang wanted to open his mouth and ask her to bring her two grandchildren with her. However, if you think about it, you may be able to turn a blind eye with your little granddaughter, but the grandchildren are too eye-catching. Moreover, the county lord of Xin'an has very shallow feelings for his nephews, and he probably won't agree to this.

"Second mother, rest assured, my nephew will send Huanniang and Yingniang to Zhaoling safely." Li Huidao. After receiving the holy decree, he made full preparations to ensure that the county lord of Xin'an had no shortage of food and clothing in Zhaoling.

Princess Changning also said: "As long as I am here, I will never allow anyone to bully Sister Huanniang and Yingniang." She has quietly put her cronies into the Zhaoling Tomb under the pretext that she will be able to take care of her cousin and niece in the future.

In fact, there are not many people guarding the tomb in Zhaoling. There are those who voluntarily guard the mausoleum - such as some low-level military and civil officials who were deeply impressed by Emperor Taizong and took the initiative to resign; There are also those who have been punished for guarding the mausoleum - such as Li Ge, the youngest son of King Jing, and other children of the clan who have made mistakes. After all, the identity of the county lord of Xin'an was different from them, so the sage made an exception to let her live in the palace outside the Zhaoling Tomb. Li Hui took the opportunity to plant some eyeliner nearby, and ordered them to focus on monitoring Li Ge's movements while protecting the Xin'an County Lord and his niece.

With Li Ge's "naivety" and "stupidity", Li Hui has no doubt that as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely pit King Jing ruthlessly. Even if the Jing Wangfu plugs all the loopholes, as long as Li Ge is still there, it will bring opportunities for the eldest princess An Xing and her henchmen.

After placing Yiqiē properly, Li Hui hurried back to Chang'an, just in time to see off everyone in Yue Wangfu's mansion.

Completely different from the old Chu kings who left Chang'an in a mighty vein, they looked even more depressed - because they had been deposed as concubines, exile to Lingnan was also a punishment, so everyone was dressed in plain clothes, and even the luggage was very shabby, not to mention what money and belongings they carried. Moreover, there were about 50 Jin Wuwei guarding the side, responsible for "escorting" them all the way.

The only people who saw them off in person were their relatives, and they had no world friends. Among the royal family members, all the elders did not appear, only the eldest princess of Linchuan and the eldest princess of Qinghe came in person, the county lord of Xuancheng and his husband, as well as Li Hui, Princess Changning, Princess Yong'an, Qin Cheng, Qin Yun, Zhou Jian, Zhou Yi and other juniors; Only the Gao family sent the lady in charge, and the Wang family only had a few juniors.

The Wang family ignored the younger generations of his mother's family, and just affectionately held the county lord of Xuancheng and the eldest princess of Qinghe, and talked to the eldest princess of Linchuan and the lady of the Gao family. Gao took two or three taciturn brothers and sisters to accompany him - in addition to the prince of Guizheng County and the king of Langling County, there were also several princes of the county who really had no sense of zài in the Yue Palace, and this time they were also implicated and exiled with their families.

The young ladies of the Wang family were completely ignored and had to stand aside in embarrassment. And their husbands also tried their best to talk to Li Wei and Li Jing, but the two brothers were no longer as soft-hearted as before, and they also regarded them as nothing. After such an insult as repentance, how can the people of the Yue Wangfu still be willing to associate with them? If you don't turn against the Wang family of Qi County, you are already looking at the face of the princess and the Wang family!!

"Hmph, this family affair is extremely ruined!" Li Jing didn't care if these cousins could hear it, and sneered loudly, "If I really marry her, I won't be able to benefit at all!" I can't say that as long as she sees me up and down in the officialdom, she can't wait to reconcile with me!! You can only share wealth and prosperity, but you can't share hardship, what good is it to marry such a lady?! ”

"Now that this matter is in the past, you don't have to take it to heart." Li Hui glanced at the Wang family who blushed, "Why bother with such a villain?" There's a lot more to think about. ”

"Yes, why is the eldest husband without a wife." Princess Changning also smiled and said, "If you go back to Chang'an in a few years, I promise to help you find a suitable cousin-in-law?" Like cousin Jiqing, only by marrying the woman you like can you live comfortably. "When she descends, she will be able to hold a feast in her princess's house. When the time comes, the little ladies of the high-ranking officials and families in Chang'an City can be invited to come and see each other, and they are still worried that they can't find a cousin-in-law?

Li Jing only felt a warmth in his heart, and couldn't help coughing, and the anger in his eyes subsided a lot. Since the rebellion case occurred, he was anxious all the time, and he couldn't be at peace day and night, and he was almost stimulated by the king of Langling County and the king of Guizheng County to completely change his temperament. However, when facing the smiling cousins, it seems to be vaguely back in the past.

At that time, he was blunt and almost naïve, with almost no shadow or darkness in his eyes. Now, there's no going back. Even though a few years later, the Yue Wangfu was able to rehabilitate and return to Chang'an to reunite with them, he knew very well in his heart that all the Yiqiē would be different.

"The King." A gentle voice suddenly sounded next to him, and he followed the prestige, and saw Du Chongfeng coming in a hurry. For some reason, the moment he saw this friend who was not very familiar, he was faintly relieved in his heart. And it seemed that he didn't realize until this moment that he had always wanted to see him again at the time of parting—perhaps only in this way could he prove that they were indeed true friends.

"When did they become so close?" Princess Changning raised her eyebrows, looking at her cousin's rare smile, vaguely feeling as if she was a little familiar and a little unfamiliar.

"Jing Xing didn't look away this time." Li Hui replied, "When he was under house arrest, Du Chongfeng quietly came to visit King Pu's mansion several times to find out his news. If it weren't for my guarantee that Jing Xing would be fine, he didn't know what the rush would be. Actually, he didn't think that Du Chongfeng had regarded Li Jing as a friend. After all, it was Li Jing who took the initiative to look for him, but Du Chongfeng never visited the Yue Wangfu. Now it seems that he really wanted to go wrong.

"Can this person be trusted?"

"We'll have to think about it for a while."

"Brother, we have too few people available. Look at Anxing's henchmen, and then look at us, there is simply no power to fight back. ”

"What kind of counterattack can a mere Du Chongfeng bring?" Li Hui shook his head and said, "Even if he gets the middle head next year, after entering the officialdom, he will be implicated because of the Yang family, and he will not be able to gain the trust of his uncle." Moreover, it is useless to be a school clerk or a county lieutenant. It's better to wait for the Yang family to fall, and then arrange for him to join the office. "Du Chongfeng and the Yang family are too close. And in addition to his reluctance to marry the little lady of the Yang family and his reluctance to be in the same stream with the Yang family, he has no ill feelings towards the Yang family. Such a person may be available, but it must not be trusted.

After hearing this, Princess Changning frowned slightly, and had to sigh: "Brother, in the next two or three years, will our life be particularly difficult?" ”

“…… There's an uncle here. Li Hui said lightly.

"......" Princess Changning lowered her eyes and was silent. In fact, they all understand that once the saint has a suitable heir, no matter how favored their sisters are, they will definitely not be as important as the future prince of the East Palace. It is difficult to say whether the prince will be towards Queen Du, and whether he will really get close to them in the future.

On the other side of the Baqiao, Wang Zixian took He Cheng, Wang Luoniang and Wang Xiangniang to bid farewell to Yuanwu. After the incident of the last Cicada Temple, Yuanwu no longer avoided them, and Sister Wang Luoniang also understood his determination to join the empty gate, so they finally got along. Therefore, when they learned that he was going to travel out of Beijing again, they came over to see him off.

"Be careful all the way." The prince advised, "Don't take any risks and act wisely. ”

"Amitabha." Yuanwu folded his hands, saluted him and his tearful sister, and turned to leave.

As he walked away, Princess Changning spotted a familiar figure in the distance, and her eyes moved slightly. However, in the end, she just watched this young man hidden deep in her heart walk away, without saying a word, and even her expression didn't seem to change at all.

Soon, everyone in the Yue Wangfu is about to set off. Wang, Gao and other female dependents boarded the simple ox cart, Li Heng rode the horse alone, and Li Wei, Li Jing and others could only walk. Seeing this, the county lord of Xuancheng couldn't help but cry in a low voice. She brought several carts of packed luggage to her parents and brothers, and there was still a lot of money in them, but Li Heng refused without hesitation. It's not that he's stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible, but it's too dangerous to go thousands of miles, and it's not appropriate to carry a few carts of luggage and heavy money.

The people of the Yue Wangfu slowly walked away, and there was a huge convoy in the distance, and the ox cart and carriage decorated with jade were still eye-catching, and according to the regulations, it was obviously not very human. When the two boxes were missed, against the backdrop of the huge convoy on the way, the people of the Yue Wangfu looked even more wolf-like. Even Jin Wuwei, who was escorting them, had to avoid this convoy that even the coachmen were a little arrogant.

"Who's that?" Li Hui's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

The prince who came to his side at some point looked at it carefully, and replied leisurely: "King Jiangxia." ”

"Nasty!" Princess Yong'an said in a milky voice the perception of almost all the juniors at this time.

What if they were angry? The eye relationship between people is very wonderful in the first place.
