The eldest princess of Yuyang simply put down her identity and begged, "Wulang, what Cao Lixin is trying to do is just a military power, it is better to take the position of overseer of the Northern Army with him." ”

Shao Ding was silent for a moment and said, "Cao Lixin's wolf ambition is not what we should be most worried about, do you understand?" ”

Seeing that the eldest princess of Yuyang looked at her suspiciously, Shao Ding pondered and said, "Not to mention whether the position of overseer can satisfy Cao Lixin's appetite, just this time, he invited His Majesty to hold a memorial for the first emperor, and secretly instructed the same party to build a queen mother to go to Mount Tai to pray for the first emperor, the internal reason is that the queen mother has always supported the investment of large taxes from the treasury into military funds, and Cao Lixin only seeks peace talks, denounces the war with the Qiangrong people as a reckless force, and spares no effort to suppress it by various methods, seeking to conquer the northern army and the southern army, The authority of the commander of the three armed forces of the Central Army. If the Empress Dowager arrives in Mount Tai and stays away from Longchi, Cao Lixin implements a new policy, and there will be less great resistance to the reduction of military funds. ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang said anxiously, "Then you can't let the queen mother go to Mount Tai!" There has been no war in the territory under the jurisdiction of the two armies of Xiangnan and Dingzhong for many years, only the Northern Army is really defending the frontier in Dicheng, Goro, even if it is for yourself, you have to stop Cao Lixin! ”

Shao Ding shook his head, "Although Cao Lixin is now forming a party in the DPRK and the central government, covering the sky with one hand, in the final analysis, he is just the younger brother of the queen's mother, and he is born weak, and it is difficult to adapt to the life of the Kurama Tour, and he is a relative who cannot enter the prime minister." A relative, even if he gets what he wants and forces the queen mother away, it is never him that we have to worry about. ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang said, "If it's not him, who else can there be?" "Cao Lixin forced the Queen Mother away, intending to seize power, anyone can see it," Shao Ding said in a low voice, "Can't Your Majesty see it?" “

The eldest princess of Yuyang finally understood what he meant, and muttered, "This is impossible, the second brother was just deceived by Cao Lixin." ”

Shao Ding was silent, and the eldest princess of Yuyang walked a few steps to the side in despair, sat on the stone bench next to the path in the garden, and whispered, "Yes...... It was His Majesty who supported Cao Lixin and wanted the queen mother to leave here. ”

Shao Ding said, "On the chess scale, the two sons in the hands are evenly matched, so as to balance and stabilize." Since the battle with Qiang Rong, the Queen Mother, including the Queen Mother and I outside, seems to have become a little sick with His Majesty's heart. ”

"When the Qiangrong people attacked Fengnuma City, the eldest brother put on his armor and took the lead, and finally the outer city wall of the Jade Broken Dragon Pond. The first emperor abandoned the city in advance and fled to the fiefdom of the second brother, and on the way he heard that the Qiang Rong people were only ten miles away from him, so he was scared to death. The queen mother lost her father and son, but she did not slump, but quickly took into account the overall situation and cheered up and listened to the government. After quelling the Qiangrong Rebellion, the queen mother resigned from the post of supervisor of the country and elected the second brother to the throne...... When the second brother entered the Dragon Pond that year, he obviously cried and thanked his mother's ......" The eldest princess of Yuyang seemed to be caught in the memories of the past, and finished talking about these old things with blank eyes.

Shao Ding stood beside her and sighed slightly, "Your Majesty has been a great treasure for more than ten years, and I have grown up at his desk, and I also know a little about him now, and it is not enough to take the position of an overseer as a concession. ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang sat on the stone bench for a moment, silently got up and bypassed Shao Ding, and said, "In this case, in Wulang's place, this situation is no longer solvable, so I will leave." ”

Shao Ding said to Yuyang, who passed by, "Does Yuyang think I'm too selfish?" ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang stopped, shook her head and said sincerely, "That's not the case, I know very well that Gorou is a person. It is precisely because I know that you value love and righteousness, so I can't ask you to give up the Northern Expeditionary Army that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has formed faithfully in the past dynasties. ”

Shao Ding said, "Thank you." ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang smiled reluctantly and was about to leave. Songyan just caught up from behind the two, and when he saw that the two were finished talking, he walked over with a smile and said to the eldest princess of Yuyang, "Princess, let's go to the flower hall, let's finish the feast, so that we can thread needles and beg for fun." ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang waved her hand to the female officials who were consciously guarding in the distance, and said softly and slightly perfunctory to Songyan, "The palace suddenly has some urgent things to do, and I am afraid that the begging thing will disappoint the kindness of Mrs. Dingyuan, and next time Yuyang will definitely hold a banquet in the mansion to make amends to you." ”

Songyan was a little overwhelmed for a while, and asked confusedly, "Are you leaving?" Because you have specially prepared some very delicate begging fruits and seasonal food on the stove of Houfu, you might as well stay and taste one or two. ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang insisted on leaving, but Songyan saw that Shao Ding was silent and did not want to stay in Yuyang, guessing that the two might have a disagreement, and he was a little hesitant to keep the eldest princess of Yuyang.

The eldest princess of Yuyang saw her sincerity, so she said, "The day before the Zhongyuan Festival, the palace invited a few guests and the Hongyang Zidao chief of Chenghai Temple outside the city to discuss together, if the lady is interested, it is better for you to come to the house as a guest then." ”

Songyan didn't dare to refuse, and he didn't care if he was timid, so he agreed again and again.

The eldest princess of Yuyang left the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, and Songyan sent her to the weeping flower gate again, and instructed Xue Ya to put the begging fruit in a food box for the eldest princess of Yuyang to take away. The eldest princess of Yuyang said goodbye again and again, and before turning around to get into the carriage, Songyan couldn't help but say to her, "Princess, if the Hou Ye has a dispute with you, don't take it to heart. ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang was shocked, thinking that Song Yan had heard the conversation between the two of them, so she asked Song Yan quietly, "What did Madam say?" ”

Song Yan said boldly, "Master Hou is just not good at words, he seems indifferent and ruthless, in fact, he has received everyone's favor, he has remembered it in his heart, and once he has the opportunity, he will silently reciprocate." I saw the appearance of Hou Ye when he got along with the princess today, it was a comfort that I have never felt in the past few years, you must be very important in Hou Ye's heart, but he will not express it. ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang looked at Songyan to explain to Shao Ding, and said with a smile, "It can be seen that the rumors are not credible." ”

Songyan asked confusedly, "What did you say?" ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang didn't explain, and got on Fengyu and left.

The female official with a smile on her lips opened a box of begging fruit to show the eldest princess of Yuyang, and praised it in her mouth, "The cook of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has moved his mind, this begging fruit is so exquisite." ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang took a closer look with her fingers, and after a while, her thoughts drifted to where she went.

When the female official saw that the eldest princess of Yuyang was on Fengyu, she leaned on the pillow a little awkwardly, so she took out a beauty hammer, thumped the legs of the eldest princess of Yuyang, and chatted with the eldest princess and said, "Princess, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis deserved to be known as the first beauty in Fengnuma back then. When I saw it today, I really looked outstanding. ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang said casually, "At the queen's hairpin banquet, the palace also met Mrs. Dingyuan, who was not married. If you had seen it at that time, I was afraid that you would have been a little disappointed with the current Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis. The first beauty of Fengnuma back then, her beauty seemed to have thorns, and she was gorgeously aggressive. ”

The female officer said curiously, "Isn't it as beautiful now as it was then?" ”

The eldest princess of Yuyang threw the begging fruit back into the suitcase and said, "Yes and no, it's just that the fairy fell to the ground and was stained with the breath of the world, so it was not as awe-inspiring as when she didn't eat the fireworks in the world, right?" ”
