That summer day in the twenty-seventh year of the early years of the Jing Dynasty, many people still remember it clearly, all because of the bloody change.

"Is there any news from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing?"

In the alley closest to the imperial city on Wenqing Road, in the flower hall with a deep door, the woman dragged the floor-length peacock silk robe and walked back and forth anxiously. Even though her face was in a hurry, her hair bun was still the most popular upset in the imperial capital, and on one side of the bun was a phoenix with a little emerald gold silk around the branches, gently swinging between her bright eyes and teeth, adding a bit of dazzling light to the woman.

"Back to the princess, not yet."

The servant waited quietly on either side, and when she heard her inquiry, someone stepped forward and replied.

"Why haven't you come back?" Xiao Xiangwan looked uneasily in the direction of the porter, Luo Zhu'an had been out for nearly four hours, and it was common sense to infer that he should have returned to the princess's mansion at this time, but now he was still nowhere to be seen.

"Don't worry, eldest princess, His Royal Highness King Qing and his concubine went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to discuss important matters, and there was a delay in arranging the situation with General Xu in the camp, so he would not return for a long time." Compared with Xiao Xiangwan's anxiety, some people sat firmly on the red sandalwood chair next to them as if they were settled, and drank the tea in their hands quite leisurely.

"Rou Jia is not in such a good mood as Lord Baili." For Bailiguang, who took refuge halfway, Xiao Xiangwan has never had a good face, and such traitors can turn their backs on Xiao Yu and naturally turn their backs on her and Xiao Yuli. It's a pity that no matter how she persuaded her, Xiao Yuli refused to give up on him.

In the face of Xiao Xiangwan's hostility, Bailiguang smiled indifferently and tasted the tea in his hand intently. It is really the extremely favored Eldest Princess's Mansion, and even the tea used to entertain an unwelcome guest like him is the best Xinyang Maojian. The entrance is fragrant, and if the person who makes the tea cares more, the tea will taste better.

Xiao Xiangwan ignored Baili Guang, but at the moment, he was really helpless and didn't know what to do. King Qing and the concubine went out of Beijing to meet General Xu, who was in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and it was a confidential matter, so she naturally couldn't send people out to look for them with great fanfare, and all she could do was wait for news in the princess's mansion. This matter between her and Xiao Yuli is already on the bow, and it is time to have to send it.

"Princess!"

After stepping into the princess's mansion, the person dressed as a little maid ran all the way until he came to the flower hall.

"Toshiyuki, what's going on?" Xiao Xiangwan, who had just sat down, saw someone coming and immediately got up to greet him. The person who came was none other than Xiao Yuli's personal follower Minzhi, who also followed Xiao Yuli to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

Min Zhi was very cautious, although he couldn't hide the joy on his face, he still attached it to Xiao Xiangwan's ear and whispered: "The prince has agreed with General Xu that after the soldiers and horses from Yizhou and Yuzhou arrive in Beijing tomorrow night, they will start at the day after tomorrow." ”

"That's very good." When Xiao Xiangwan heard the news, the big stone in her heart finally landed, she exhaled a long breath, and her whole person was rippling with a soft smile. She and Xiao Yuli are siblings, but her appearance is more like Xiao Feng, beautiful and dignified, far less than Xiao Yuli's stunning city. "What about the prince and the colt?"

"The prince and the concubine are behind, they are afraid that the princess will be worried, so they specially asked me to come back first to report the news."

"Okay, you go down and rest first."

Xiao Xiangwan instructed the servant on one side to take Minzhi away, and then sat back in his seat, sipping tea leisurely like a hundred miles of light.

"Lord Baili, Roujia hasn't congratulated you yet. I heard that Sister Ling, Concubine Baili is already pregnant, and after seven months, the identity of Lord Baili will be even more different. ”

These words alluded to Baili relying on his sister's nepotism to ascend to the top, which was undoubtedly an unacceptable insult for a virtuous minister. But Bailiguang still couldn't move, and said lightly: "Xia Guan also congratulates the eldest princess first, and she is going to be the imperial aunt." ”

Xiao Xiangwan thought that he would shoot back a few sentences, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to be congratulated by her. For a while, apart from the word "Tongxi", she really couldn't find anything else to say. However, Baili Guang didn't have to be proud for long, what kind of identity is Bai Liguang, no matter how much she is favored, it is impossible for her to give birth to King Qing's eldest son in her lowly body. You must know that three days later, they will succeed, and King Qing's eldest son will be the future prince, the destined prince.

A sneering light flashed in her eyes, and she could see it clearly through the teacup. It's still early, and it is not known who killed the deer at this time, and this eldest princess of Roujia is inevitably too proud.

He continued to fiddle with the tea bowl in his hand, sipping the fine tea slowly, and leisurely watching the development of things.

Compared with the strange atmosphere of the princess's mansion, it is a prosperous scene outside the imperial capital. The streets of Beads are crowded with vendors from all over the world, enthusiastically selling all kinds of gadgets in their hands, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

Among the crowd was a petite teenager, wrapped in a fashionable turban, hurrying forward. As he walked, he looked back from time to time.

"Little brother."

Just as he turned around, a swarthy man came out of nowhere in front of him, grinning stupidly at him.

"Meng ......" The young man lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong and was caught by his brother on the street, and whispered, "How does the eldest brother know that I am here?" ”

The man pulled the boy by, and the two walked side by side in the direction of the city gate. The pedestrians behind him only heard the man constantly counting the young man: "You sneaked out like this, of course Grandma didn't worry, so she specially asked me to come out to find you." Grandma is waiting for you at home outside the city now, and you can't run around anymore this time. ”

It turned out that the elder brother came to catch the younger brother who ran away from the greedy play, and the pedestrian shook his head, muttering that the younger brother who worried his grandmother was really unfilial.

This scene quickly disappeared into the vast crowd, like a small wave in the sea, merging into the sea and disappearing without a trace.

At the mouth of Fuqin Alley, which is a few streets away from Zhuzi Street, two brightly dressed men walked out slowly, one of them wearing an inappropriate hat, teaching people to see his appearance clearly.

"What's wrong?" The man in the hat suddenly stopped, provoking another man to ask.

The man in the hat looked back at the crowded city gate, stared at it for a long time, and said, "Immediately send someone to inform the city gate that from today onwards, you will not be allowed to enter or leave without King Qing's token." ”

"Is the prince afraid that he will contact someone outside the city?"

"Brother-in-law," Xiao Yuli raised his hat, a pair of bewitching eyes fell on Luo Zhu'an's body, and said sharply: "Du Bocheng and Rong Jingcheng haven't moved recently, doesn't my brother-in-law think it's too strange?" ”
