An Sui is reading "Song Ci" to Princess Moyu of Zhao Guo in his study, "The princess has been getting more and more interested recently, and the princess of this "Water Tune Song Head" should have read it many times! ”

The eldest princess of Zhao nodded, "'I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. Naturally, I have read it many times, but now that I am in Guizi and my home is in Dachu, I can better understand the emotions on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

An Sui then remembered that it was now August and the Mid-Autumn Festival had passed. It's been almost three years since she left the capital. I thought three years was a long time, but I didn't expect it to pass gradually.

An Sui was just stunned, a white pigeon fluttered its wings and stopped in front of An Sui's study window, An Sui walked over slowly, untied a small bamboo tube from the white pigeon's feet, and then sent the white pigeon out, "Nianqing, go first!" ”

The eldest princess of Zhao Guo approached An Sui with her waist and read out the words on it softly, "Mo Shang flowers bloom, you can return slowly!" ”

An Sui's face turned red, and he said angrily, "The princess is still a princess!" Also peeked at Wechen's letters! ”

"I've been here in this palace for so many years, but I haven't seen my brother send a letter in three days, and sure enough, this royal brother in this palace still feels sorry for you."

An Sui lowered her eyes, she hadn't seen him for three years, whether it was to Wuqi or to Guizi, he always had a way for Nianqing to find her whereabouts, and the connection between him and her was on this Nianqing.

At first, she thought it was strange why Ji Xuanyuan was always able to find where she was, but when she met the Queen Mother who sent a large number of killers to hunt her down, she understood. He even sent one of his cluses to guard her in secret.

She always knew that he had a secret attachment to protect his safety, but she didn't know that for her, he actually combined his hidden attachment into two branches, the code name to protect himself was called "Gan Jiang", and the other was called "Mo Xie", which was used to protect her. He knew from the moment he sent her out of the capital that the Queen Mother would definitely send someone to do it, so he did not hesitate to give her a hidden attachment.

Princess Zhao patted An Sui's shoulder, "It's been three years, it's really time to go back." My brother's thoughts about you are really touching. ”

Princess Zhao pointed to the four treasures of the study on the bookcase, "Reply to my brother!" This palace won't bother you! ”

An Sui was no longer hypocritical, sent away the eldest princess of Zhao Guo, sat down and thought about replying to the letter, and after a while, he wrote two lines of poetry, "The ferry is not going back to the first place, and it is still cold and shallow by the water." ”

An Sui summoned Nianqing, sealed the note with a small bamboo tube, tied it to its feet, grabbed a small handful of millet, and fed it to eat, "Nianqing, I have fed you, you work hard, fly well, fly early." Maybe the next time I see you again, it won't be in Kaizusa, but in the capital. ”

That Nianqing seemed to understand An Sui's words, spread his wings and flew away.

It was almost half a month after Ji Xuanyuan received An Sui's reply.

If you look closely at Ji Xuanyuan, you will find that he has changed, compared to three years ago, he has become stronger and more calm, in the past three years, he has strongly cleaned up the power of the Zheng family and the Yan family, and also controlled the power of the Zongzheng family.

Now he is no longer the emperor who was still controlled everywhere in the court three years ago, and everyone in the entire court knows what a strong and wise monarch Ji Xuanyuan is.

It's just that there is always a little loneliness in the corners of his eyes, and this loneliness will only be eased when Nian Qing appears in front of him.

It's been three years, and in three years, so much has happened.

The Queen Mother's mountain collapsed, Concubine Xian was seriously ill, Concubine Shu and Zheng Guiren had committed suicide, and Qiao Qiao in the cold palace also disappeared.

When the Queen Mother was dying, she called Ji Xuanyuan to the bed, she may not blame Ji Xuanyuan for sweeping away the power of the Yan family, but she always knew that An Sui was still outside the palace. That was her biggest heart problem.

When none of the killers she sent came back, she already understood that Ji Xuanyuan would no longer be polite to the Yan family, and An Sui was his last bottom line.

But she still forced Ji Xuanyuan to swear that she would not let An Sui enter the palace as a concubine, and she would not be allowed to take the place of the middle palace in this life.

Every time Ji Xuanyuan thinks of An Sui, he will think of this oath, he is destined not to appear in front of the world with An Sui.

Ji Xuanyuan gently put down the two lines of poetry written by An Sui, "It's still such a temper, but it's okay, the mission should also come back." ”

Some of the attendants, musicians, painters, and officials at all levels who had been sent before came back one after another, and even Yan Zhe returned to the capital with some of the envoys, leaving a small number of officials led by An Sui still in Guizi, including several household officials in Guizi and the Guizi monarch to discuss matters related to the border trading port.

Ansui has done a good job, from the beginning of the establishment to now only a little more than a year, with the border of Jindi and Guizi to start the experiment, has begun to have a preliminary scale. The livelihood of the people in Jindi has always been difficult, and there is not much fertile land that can be cultivated, so it is a good way out for business. In just over a year, Jindi's tax revenue has more than doubled.

Some officials of the household department also began to gradually change their views on security.

The voice of the court's approval of An Sui is also getting louder and louder.

Ji Xuanyuan looked at the notes submitted by Yan Zhe and the household department and praised the affairs of the border commercial port, and was also very happy, "I thought that Ah Sui would do a good job, but I never thought that she was even more powerful than I imagined, and in just over a year, she has been able to handle the affairs of the commercial port in an orderly manner." The Guizi monarch already has the intention of establishing a commercial port with our Great Chu on a large scale, and even Wuqi also intends to establish commercial exchanges with Great Chu. It's a good one, it's really an eye-opener. ”

The eldest princess was on the side but didn't care about this, "Daddy, father, when will Sister An come back?" ”

Ji Xuanyuan was also looking forward to it, "Calculate the time, you will be able to arrive in the capital in about November!" ”

He had been with her for more than three years, and he looked forward to her return more than anyone else.

For more than three years, every correspondence she had with him had been treasured by him in the Weiyang Palace, and the original pieces she presented were also placed in the Weiyang Palace.

Every time he felt tired and irritable in the face of the cumbersomeness of the court, he would go to the Weiyang Palace to sit, or stay in the Weiyang Palace, flip through the things she left behind, and look at her beautiful and free handwriting, and the irritability in his heart gradually dissipated.

In the past three years, he has changed, in order for her to leave a good reputation as a virtuous minister, he strives to make himself a generation of Ming Jun, which is what he promised her. He worked very hard to do it, and Da Chu had gradually moved towards prosperity under his rule. He will become stronger to protect her in front of the world.

Three years ago, he was not strong enough that he had to send her to the border, although it was also to fulfill her wish, but it was mixed with a strong sense of helplessness and powerlessness.

Now he will no longer let her have to leave him because of his helplessness and powerlessness.

And she should have changed, she should be more calm, and her temperament will be clearer. He was most worried about her body, but every time he came back, he said that her body was gradually improving, but he could only relax after he confirmed it.

Lu Yan also followed An Sui to Guizi, and secretly painted a lot of An Sui's portraits for him, most of the portraits were on horses, Ji Xuanyuan thought, she probably likes to ride horses!

"Daddy!" The voice of the eldest princess remembered at the right time, pulling Ji Xuanyuan back from his thoughts, "Daddy actually likes Sister An very much, right?" Shure found out that Daddy, you only laugh like this when you talk about Sister Ann. ”

Ji Xuanyuan smiled and touched her little head, Shu Er was already twelve years old, and gradually understood a little about the relationship between men and women, and he didn't want to hide this daughter, "Yes, does Shu Er like your sister An?" ”

Shu Er nodded, "I like it, in this palace, only Sister An is different from Shuer." Will Daddy take Sister Na'an as a concubine? If that's the case, Shure will be able to call her sister openly in the future! ”

The princes and princesses in the palace call their adoptive mothers or concubines, sometimes referred to as "mothers", but more often they will call them "sisters", so when the eldest princess called An Sui as her sister, she was also laughed at by the concubines in the harem for a long time.

Ji Xuanyuan shook his head, "No, no!" ”

"Why?" Shure can't understand that life in the palace is capricious for her, and if her father likes it, what's not to do?

Ji Xuanyuan's eyes darkened, "Because, even my father can't be disobedient to filial piety." It's like if you like someone and your father doesn't like it, your father won't allow you to marry, and you can't be disobedient. ”

He suddenly realized that although this question was simple, it made him powerless, and he was suddenly a little worried, if An Sui also asked him why, how should he face her?

He couldn't face it.

Shure was obviously stumped by this question, and his face was sad, "What if Shure likes the person you don't like, but I really want to be with him?" ”

Ji Xuanyuan couldn't answer either.

He can't blame the Queen Mother, he can't be wronged, and he can't help but face his heart.

Shure thought for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have figured out something, "Then let's be together secretly!" Daddy, this is the best way! However, Shure felt that as long as Shure liked it, Daddy should not hate it. And Daddy, can you promise Shure that even if Shure likes someone you don't like in the future, you won't treat Shure like your grandmother treats you, okay? ”

Ji Xuanyuan smiled and kissed Shuer's forehead, "Okay, Daddy will promise Shure." Definitely won't embarrass Shure. ”
