Don't come back home in the spring.

The wind drifted into the hall with the rain, the veil rose and fell in the air, flowing like water waves on the bright palace bricks, and the shoulders and arms of the maids and their faces flickered and darkened.

Princess Yang Zhai, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat under the drape, and her fingers dyed impatiens caressed her chin.

She is undoubtedly beautiful, but she is too frivolous and frivolous, so that she is recognized by the minister as a disaster for the country.

"Jiudi." Yang Zhai smiled deeply and looked at Tongqing, who was speechless, "You don't like them?" He used a silver chopstick to put a piece of pastry on the plate in front of Tongqing.

"No, it's not." Tongqing shook his head, "They're cute and outstanding. "But without a common word, we can't get together.

Yang Zhai smiled strangely, she rolled up her sleeves to cover her lips, and said to the girls: "The musician's pipa is the first in the Jin country, why don't you ask him for advice if you want to improve your piano skills." The girls said yes.

When the lamp on the eaves of the palace is lit, there is a long fire dragon that winds and leaps over the house, with no head or tail in sight.

The young empress opened her gentle eyes in the deep night, like two stars falling into the world, staring at Yuan Lingjun who was walking towards her.

"It's so lively over there, even if I stand here, I can hear the beautiful singing of the girls. Liudi is the most proficient in music and dance among the sisters, and she is the same age as them, so you shouldn't miss this kind of occasion, don't worry about me, go play with them. ”

The rain gradually stopped. Yuan Ying took Yuan Lingjun's hand and walked on a path in the garden, "Liudi, don't shirk, it's rare to come back to celebrate together, and our sisters can't get together a few times a year." ”

Yuan Lingjun was afraid of the difficult Wang Guijiaojiao, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "No, sister, it's not like the foreign minister is staying in the harem, since the rules are set, you still have to abide by them." There can be no exception to the key at the palace gate, and the minister has to go back to the hall before that. ”

"Hmm. You don't follow the rules......" Yuan Ying whispered.

Yuan Lingjun pretended not to hear. She was so cold that she was chilled, her nose was sour, and she hoped that the emperor would let her out of the palace as soon as possible.

Yuan Ying didn't know what she was thinking, and ordered her followers to serve in place. She didn't speak, and Yuan Lingjun could only follow.

They entered a pavilion and looked up at the same night sky. The sound of silk paulownia came intermittently from the opposite side.

"I have something to ask Liudi, this matter bothers me, and I don't have a clue."

The wind blew the shawl on the empress's shoulders. Yuan Lingjun stiffly pulled the corners of his mouth: "What does Your Majesty want to ask?" As long as the minister knows, he knows everything. ”

Yuan Ying said: "In Liyang, Changshan, there are three thousand wind and rain riders belonging to the Lanyi Hou Qu family, known as three thousand, and the exact number of people I have not yet obtained. If I'm not mistaken, Qu Yi seems to be from Liyang. ”

I heard Fan Jiang talk about it in Changshan Palace, and it is not clear who the people involved are, but Qu Yi, who is the queen of Boyu, is definitely among them. Yuan Lingjun's entire scalp was clenched, his upper and lower teeth were pressed together, and it became quite difficult to breathe, "There is such a thing." The minister also heard about it for the first time, but Qu Yi, the minister didn't know, His Majesty wanted to know that he could let people go to check the jade of the sect, and the father left his life there......"

Yuan Ying's probing gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, made her feel uncomfortable like a pinprick all over.

"So, Liudi wants to help me ask." Yuan Ying interrupted from this, and his gaze stopped on Yuan Lingjun's face that kept smiling from beginning to end, "It doesn't matter who it used to belong to, but in the future, if we want to change the way and meaning of existence, we and the country need this strong and brave army, political conflicts, wars, we must have a more convincing backing." ”

Her righteous expression was awe-inspiring, her chest rose and fell violently, her emotions were excited, and her hands under her sleeves trembled uncontrollably, showing that the anger hidden in her heart was aroused.

Yuan Lingjun was dumbfounded: "The whole world is all His Majesty's, and there are those His Majesty can't get." ”

Yuan Ying stopped talking.

Under the demure eyebrows, a heart that had not been enlightened for a long time was opened, and it burst out with unprecedented power. She just said that the whole world is all His Majesty's. If she had this kind of consciousness when she was a princess, her father would not have frequently questioned her ability to supervise the country.

She looked directly into Yuan Lingjun's eyes, and there were all kinds of feelings in her heart. Mother was right, she was the emperor first, and the sister second. Writing history books with the blood of compatriots is an inevitable trend in the history of all dynasties.

Yuan Ying suddenly jumped over the gan and jumped down. "Sister, be careful." Yuan Lingjun pounced and grabbed the trunk with both hands.

She almost fainted. Emperor Hongjia slapped his robe and looked up at her flustered face: "Liudi, come down." Let's talk about it like we did when we were kids. ”

Yuan Lingjun climbed down cautiously, and Yuan Ying protected her.

"Your restraint and change because I am the emperor?"

Yuan Lingjun shook his head, and his broken hair flew in front of him: "Your Majesty, it's the minister who has grown up, and the minister hasn't changed ......"

"It's still going to grow up." The empress said meaningfully, and the sigh gradually drifted away in the empty sky. She suddenly turned around and called Yuan Lingjun.

No one saw that the empress in her prime shed tears at the moment.

Yuan Lingjun stood behind her.

She said, "Lingjun, go back." ”

For some reason, Yuan Lingjun was a little flustered, like a figure nailed to the spot, and his facial expression was so stiff that it was difficult to stretch.

Laughter emanated from the main hall, and some of the bold aristocratic maidens began to take over the musician's pipa and the musician's wind music, and they showed off their piano skills to the fullest.

"What are Jiudi's plans for the future? Father, can he leave an edict for marriage before leaving? "Yang Zhai is tentative.

Like a silver bottle bursting, the last bit of heat in Tongqing's heart was poured through.

Tongqing was stunned for a long time, his face flushed and said: "My father left in a hurry, and Tongqing didn't know that there was such an object." Tongqing is just a child who can't make up his mind, and he still needs his eldest sister to call the shots in the future. ”

Yang Zhai was skeptical, and his big smart eyes looked back and forth on her.

"The eldest sister cherishes her sister, and she will definitely arrange Jiudi's home." She wanted to continue, but was interrupted by high-pitched music.

Tongqing tried his best to hide the bitterness in his heart. She almost burst into tears, thinking of her and her mother's current situation, and there was no reason to cry anytime and anywhere.

The prosperity was drowned in the full tears in the eyes, and the situation of living in Yaoguang Temple emerged.

Mother described sleeping in a clean room withered, not waking up for many years, and the once beautiful face has long been decaying in the trajectory of time.

Knowing that she was going to return to Beijing to congratulate her, on the day she left, her mother's expression was unusually refreshing, and she always had endless words when she held her hand: "As a woman, the concubine was also a red luan star when she was young, and she had the throbbing that a twenty-eight girl should have in the spring, even if she was in the harem later, she still pinned her hopes on your father's favor." In the past, I also blindly blamed him for being cold and ruthless, I haven't been too confused after being sick for all these years, and gradually I think through it, if he is a merry man who is everywhere, the heart of the harem woman is afraid that it will be hurt and wounded, and it is worse than not getting it is self-inflicted, I thank your father, he didn't give me hope. Once as a girl, the concubine was envious of the truly favored concubine, but when she became a woman, the concubine never looked up to the queen in the heights. Although it is said that the top is the name of Zhaoyi over the years, and the body is surrounded by the king Rongen, you Ah Weng only dare to call the concubine the slave of the queen outside the court, but fortunately, you were born in the royal family, and you are the emperor's concubine, and you will not be able to be a concubine in the future, so you have to marry a good son to take charge of his family. ”

Whose arm will the red line of marriage be wrapped around in the future, the rest of her life is not something she can control. Tongqing knows very well that the freedom of the princess is completely in the hands of the emperor, and when the temptation of interests far exceeds the emotions of relatives, marrying a princess will bring unexpected political benefits.

She became a stand-in for Princess Yang Zhai to try to get rid of her fate, and she was also a stepping stone for Her Majesty to stabilize the throne.

Tong Qingyuan did not know this.
