On the day of the first snow in the capital, Princess Shenghua brought a message to Tilian that the sixth princess of the Starfall Dynasty, who came to make peace, died in childbirth, and the mother and son were not saved.
Di Lian thought that in the seventeenth year of Kangshun, the two dynasties signed a ten-year friendship without war, and now there are still seven years to go, and the sixth princess is gone, and there will soon be the next political marriage.
It is the end of the year when the grounding is completed, and the snow in the capital is extremely lush this year, people say that the snow is a good year, and the Rui Emperor is relieved, and the atmosphere in the capital has been sluggish since the death of Empress Aijing, because the emperor decided to 'winter hunting' The news is full of anger.
The goose snow is flying, and Shanglin Yuan once again ushered in the hustle and bustle of Xia Lan's gathering of hairpins in the capital after a few years.
Jiang Luoxiu didn't approve of Di Lian following this trip, after all, there were many people, and she appeared in a dense place just after the ban was lifted, which was really bad.
But I couldn't bear to say a word to Di Lian and wanted to come, and Princess Shenghua, who was supposed to stay in the house, followed with peace of mind.
It was noon on the first day when the team arrived at Shanglin Yuan, and in the afternoon they had to rest in the camps, and they would start to dabble tomorrow.
He turned over and dismounted, and without hesitation, he raised his hand to wrap Tilian in a sable cloak, and the two of them whispered in a low voice, attracting the sideways glances of the people around.
"Shanglin Yuan is empty, and it is cold at night, so don't walk around."
The moon's eyes were slightly bent, and Tillian bowed her jaw, "I know." Then he said, "Grandmother is here?" โ
Xie Hengxu shook his head lightly, lowered his hand and reached under the mink fur to hold her hand, "The daughters of the Xie family have not come." โ
Her eyes moved slightly, she knew that she shouldn't have come, but she couldn't come if she didn't come.
Standing in place and looking around, Tilian looked at a large orange tent not far away, and her lips hooked indifferently.
Xie Hengxu followed her gaze, then withdrew his eyes, and led her to the camp tent of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion with a relaxed expression, while whispering in a casual voice, "Recently, the Three Princes Party has been in the limelight, which has aroused the sideways attention of His Majesty, and a few days ago he also presented a beauty, His Majesty not only canonized that woman as one of the nine concubines, but also only brought her alone this winter hunt." โ
The eyelids were slightly raised, and Tillian looked at him sideways, "The Three Princes? Now, have you started to stand? โ
"His Majesty has passed fifty years, and in recent years, he has gradually begun to be extravagant and vocal leisurely, as if he has completely changed his temperament. , the implication is that it has only been a few years since the throne changed hands.
Tillian smiled, "Daddy is really in power now." โ
Xie Hengxu also smiled, "Everyone knows that the Xie family and the Su family are married, and the Zuo Xiangfu and the Rongguo Mansion also have you and my relatives, so they directly regard my uncle as a princeling, but fortunately, His Majesty still trusts his uncle at the moment, so he will speak out to defend him many times." โ
Tilian shook her head, "Daddy is now too deeply involved in political affairs, which is not a good thing, if someone really instigates His Majesty to be suspicious one day, with just a little suspicion, the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion can be completely destroyed, and the matter of approval must be stopped." โ
"Your Majesty is still relying on my uncle now, where can I stop it so lightly."
Di Lian said word by word, "You can let the crown prince and the three princes manage the government together, and Your Majesty will consider it." โ
"Empathy?" , lifted the curtain to lead her in, Xie Hengxu followed slowly, frowned and said, "The crown prince is the prince of a country, and it is reasonable to deal with the government and politics, but the third prince, how can he let him touch the power, not to mention that the two are now-for-tat, which is inappropriate." โ
Sitting sideways, Tillian smiled lightly, "If you want to catch a turtle, of course, you have to lead it into the urn first." โ
Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, the horn sounded in the camp, and Tillian and Princess Shenghua lifted the curtain and stood outside the tent to see that hundreds of knights had gathered in the snowy meadows in the distance.
These are the children of wealthy families who are going to participate in this winter hunt.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Princess Shenghua looked worriedly, "Why do I feel so uneasy?" โ
The clear moon eyes were slightly bent, and Tilian said, "I'm afraid the princess is too worried." โ
Last night, my father mentioned to His Majesty that he wanted the crown prince and the three princes to manage the government together, and it must be known to everyone that once people are complacent, they are easy to relax their guard, and Di Lian's eyes were slightly dark.
"I hope so." , Princess Shenghua frowned and muttered.
At this moment, I heard a warm voice in my ear, "Sister Huang." โ
Tilian and Princess Shenghua turned their heads sideways, and saw a young man in a clear yellow suit coming here, followed by a saber guard and a white-faced eunuch, who was born with slender eyebrows, long eyes, gentle facial features, and natural dignity and majesty.
Princess Shenghua smiled gently, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not going to dabble in today. It should be an inquiry, but it is a declarative sentence.
Prince Xiahou An smiled gently, her soft eyes looked at the girl on the side, she stood slender in the green tent and snowfield, Yan Zi brocade robe was surrounded by silver threads with Chanzhi ancient rhyme, a double branch and pedicle from the side of the skirt winding to the waist, the fiery red fox Qiu Demon Ye Yonghua, the black bun like clouds piled up the distant mountains and ink dai, the most beautiful is the pair of clear and clear eyes.
Seeing him look over, Tilian smiled lightly and curtsied, "His Royal Highness the Prince." โ
The crown prince bowed his head and said in a clear voice, "Tilian doesn't have to be polite. After saying that, Princess Shenghua said gently, "This place is not as good as the capital, and the imperial sister and Tilian still stay in the camp to avoid hurting their bodies from the cold." โ
Princess Shenghua lowered her head and nodded, "Prince Xie cares." โ
Tillian droops, Tillian? When did she become so familiar with Prince An? Since you can call it by name.
The prince came over to say a few words, and then took two attendants to the hunting platform on the east side of the pasture, where the terrain was high, and the Rui Emperor and the officials who did not end the field were sitting there to watch the feast, waiting for the young men to return with rich prey.
Seeing the prince walking away, Princess Shenghua said, "Let's go back to the account." โ
At noon, the horn sounded again, and with the neighing of horses one after another, the sons of the involved families returned to the camp one after another.
Putting down the account book in her hand, Di Lian sat on the couch and looked sideways, the person who came to the lake was a broad and sturdy rider, it was Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was panting, sweating on his forehead in winter, his face was slightly pale, and he looked at the two people, "The tiger fence in the west is in disrepair all the year round, and the tiger has just scratched the fence when he heard the movement, and he has not seen any trace of the third prince so far." โ
Princess Shenghua's gentle expression was startled, and she said nervously, "What about the Su family and the Xie family?" โ
Slowly getting down from the couch, Tilian interrupted Princess Shenghua's words and asked lightly, "Who are the people left in the forest, and the news of the tiger's slaughter has reached the viewing platform?" โ
Jiang Li's throat rolled, his lips trembled, and then he said in a low voice, "After I fell into the crowd returning to the camp, there were already guards riding horses to the viewing platform, looking at the wolf, right now, Your Majesty is afraid that I have received the news." I was in a hurry to deliver a message to the princess and my sister, but I didn't know who was in the woods. โ
Princess Shenghua was anxious, looked at Di Lian and said, "That beast is a carnivorous, if the people of the Su family and the Xie family also stayed in the forest." โ
With her jaw slightly raised, Tilian glanced at Princess Shenghua and said lightly, "The poisonous tiger is crazy and hurts people, but they have something on them, and the beast doesn't dare to approach." โ
Princess Shenghua was stunned, hesitated and whispered, "Lian'er, you." At this point, she couldn't say any more, because when Tillian looked sideways, her eyes were cold and cold.
With a hook of her lips, Di Lian said slowly, "What I helped was never the prince, but the Xiangfu and the Xie family, and the princess must keep this in mind." โ
Looking at her departing back in a daze, the fire-colored fox fur was blown by the cold wind outside the tent, Princess Shenghua shivered inexplicably, she understood the meaning of Tilian's words, today this matter must be her plan, she will design the three princes, but not for the prince, one day if the prince also comes to target the Zuo Xiangfu and the Xie family.
At this time, there was chaos on the hunting platform, and when Tillian and the others stepped onto the open platform, the Imperial Forest Army of the Rui Emperor faction had already entered the forest for a while, and everyone was worried about the tiger's loss of shackles and sat like pins and needles.
Sitting silently, Tilian glanced at Princess Shenghua, Princess Shenghua looked at her with a complicated expression, and after a moment, she stepped up the stairs to approach the golden throne, appeasing Emperor Rui worriedly.
Seeing this, Jiang Luoxiu, who was standing next to the dragon seat, went down the steps, stepped in front of Di Lian, and looked at her with a solemn face.
Her eyelids moved slightly, and Tillian raised her eyes to meet them, smiling gently.
"If it's to repay him for targeting the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion last time and affecting your reputation, it's fine, but if it's to help the prince and the Xie family, Lian'er, you know, Daddy will be disappointed."
Tilian smiled meekly, "Lian'er said that the baht must be rewarded for its flaws, and no one in this world can take advantage of himself." Moreover, in Lian'er's eyes, the Xie family is just the Xie family, and it has nothing to do with the prince. โ
Looking at her clear moon eyes fixedly, Jiang Luoxiu stretched the traces between his eyebrows, and nodded with his hands, "You have always been exquisite, next time you want to intervene in these disputes, you have to tell your father in advance, no matter what you do, your father is well prepared, remember?" โ
Reaching out to wrap her arms around him, Tillian whispered, "Don't take it as an example." โ
Jiang Luoxiu smiled, nodded her forehead, and glanced at the empty snow-colored grassland under the stage, "This kind of thing is too risky, in case Lian Ziyuan Zixu is also injured by that beast, even if it succeeds, it will be more than worth the loss." โ
Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and Di Lian said, "What Daddy said succeeded, Di Lian didn't want the third prince to leave like this." Besides, the person who can really win the throne will never be injured by a few beasts. โ
"Otherwise, what is the purpose of risking such a game? Daddy thinks that with your temperament, you won't just want Zhao Yushi's life. Jiang Luoxiu raised his eyebrows.
"Kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys." , Tillian whispered word by word and smiled softly. This time it's just a small warning, and the next time it may not be.
At this moment, listening to the uproar of the crowd, Jiang Luoxiu lowered his eyes and looked at the grassland under the stage, and saw the sent Imperial Forest guards returning, surrounded by a few people in brocade clothes but wolf bรจi, and there were six people at the back of the team carrying a lying corpse.
Hearing the exclamations of many female dependents, Tillian lowered her eyes to the side and looked up at the few people who had climbed the stairs.
The few people who were welcomed back were all wolf, their clothes were disheveled and bloodstained, and their eyes went straight to Xie Hengxu and Xie Hengyuan who were walking at the end.
With a touch of his gaze, Xie Hengyuan gently bowed his head, Di Lian looked at Xie Hengxu who was one step behind him, Xie Hengxu smiled at Di Lian comfortingly, and the essence of the phoenix eyes was like a shell like a morning sun.
The moon's eyes were soft, Tillian smiled back, looked at him carefully, and then the moon's eyes sharpened, regardless of everyone's eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward, tearing off his silver and black cloak.
The black and purple military uniform was plain and traceless, and the inner brocade of the silver and black sable fur bloomed with blood and red, looking at his roughly bandaged but still bleeding left arm, and the broken feather arrow was still inserted in the forearm, Di Lian's eyebrows were frowning and her eyes were cold.
Gently hugging her, Xie Hengxu opened his mouth softly, as if caressing her back comfortingly.
"It's just a minor injury, don't worry about it."
Pushing his chest open, Tillian asked in a cold voice, "Whose arrow!" โ
Xie Hengyuan shook his head lightly beside him, "Lian'er, don't pursue it anymore." โ
Tillian pursed her lips, she understood that this time the goal had been achieved, and if she looked into it in detail, it would definitely not end well.
After a long glance at the three princes and others who walked to the stage, Di Lian sneered, the old things have been calculated and the new accounts are coming again, it seems that they are destined to not get along in harmony.
Gently shaking her hand, Xie Hengxu and Xie Hengyuan followed a few people.
Di Lian returned to her original position and stood side by side with Jiang Luoxiu, watching Emperor Rui express his concern for a few people, and watching the imperial doctors step forward to treat the injuries of a few people.
As far as the eye could see, he suddenly met a person beside the third prince, who looked at Tillian for a while, and then withdrew his gaze to look at the imperial doctor who bandaged him.
Tillian frowned, stared at him thoughtfully, and lowered her head to ask, "That man looks good." Before she finished speaking, her mind flashed away, and Di Lian remembered that it was the second son of the mighty general Feng Xie who had met at 'Diner Huan' three years ago.
At that time, Feng Xie was still a hearty young man who was as graceful as jade, and he spoke casually and amiably with Xie Hengxu, and regarded him as a close friend from birth to death.
Jiang Luoxiu followed her gaze and said with a low sigh, "Feng Xie, the second son of the mighty general, is now the left arm and right arm of the third prince. โ
Di Lian lowered her eyes, and the coldness in her eyes finally subsided, for Xie Hengxu, the friends who used to go in and out of the battlefield are now enemies, which can be regarded as a matter of regret for life, no wonder he did not pursue it, the arrow was so powerful that it almost pierced through his arm, and its owner must be Feng Xie.
