"There is Princess Lanting, who has been very attentive since childhood, has a deep love for brothers and sisters, and remembers the initial recovery from a serious illness, and is allowed to go out of the palace for recuperation. Chin this. ”

The fine bronze burned with contemplative spices, the big red lantern at the gate of the palace flickered, and a group of people kneeling in the room were silent.

Donghua reminded in a low voice: "Princess, the holy decree is indispensable. ”

Stiffened and took the holy decree: "When will Ruyue return to the palace?" ”

The father-in-law maintained his usual dog legs: "The emperor said that at the latest, two years at the latest, the princess will return after recuperation." ”

"Where to go?" Ruyue still asked lightly, unable to tell the joy and sorrow.

"The emperor said, with the princess's pleasure, this day is the holy palace in the south and the north."

"I know, there is Father-in-law Lao."

Sent away Yuan Gonggong.

"Why would he suddenly want me to leave?" Ruyue turned to the side and asked the winter flower. Without waiting for Donghua to answer, he quickly walked out of the main hall and walked towards Yang Guang's bedroom.

Under the moonlight of half of the wall, the figure of Ruyue was elongated, in the early autumn night, the air was cold, Ruyue stood under the path paved with bluestone bricks, Yang Guang's bedroom was full of singing and dancing, the shadow of a man and countless women was reflected in the window, ambiguous and enchanting, countless maids with wine glasses hurried out, and there were countless eunuchs with lanterns and countless women with heavy makeup in two rows.

Donghua walked over, put the cloak on Ruyue's body, and said cautiously, "The princess still doesn't go in." ”

"Go to the Frost Palace."

The Frost Palace is not as brightly lit as Yang Guang's bedroom, it feels a little deserted, and there are only two palace maids at the door, carrying two lanterns, half-asleep and half-awake.

Seeing that Ruyue was coming, she hurriedly knelt down: "Princess Wanfu." ”

Pushing the door in, the huge house was quiet, only an oil lamp was lit, and with the yellowish light, Xiao Hou, who should have been above 10,000 people, was dressed in plain clothes, with his hair scattered, and there was no longer the grace and luxury of his usual days.

"What is this doing?" I gave a salute, and I was a little confused. "Did the queen go to bed so early?"

"No one comes, and time still has to be passed." Empress Xiao bit off a thread with her mouth. "Is this handkerchief pretty? It's always not disgusting to send a princess, right? ”

"The emperor is just angry, it's good if he is angry, you don't know how to compete for favor like this, it's really the world's mother." Ruyue was a little amused and took the handkerchief in her hand.

"He's not coming." Empress Xiao got up, instructed the maid to light the fire, and lit a few more lamps. "I'm afraid it hates me."

After that, I remembered something: "Why do you have time today?" Is the wound on your head healed? ”

"I don't know what happened, he allowed me to go out of the palace to recuperate." Ruyue said casually, "So I'm here to say goodbye to the queen's sister-in-law." ”

She nodded thoughtfully and did not speak, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down. In the end, Ruyue couldn't help but speak: "I heard that he is now less concerned with political affairs, and only cares about having fun with women every day, and he is fortunate to have more than 20 women in one night, and women are not allowed to get pregnant. ”

"He is the Son of Heaven, how can ordinary women such as me guess his intentions?" Empress Xiao glanced at the full moon outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but in the end, it was a matter of the previous life, why bother to say that she was troubled by a little girl, "I'm afraid that when you come back, not only in this palace, but also in the world, you will have a different look." ”

"Since my sister-in-law is really distressed by Ruyue, why do I have to play dumb riddles with Ruyue?"

"Like the moon." The wind blew in, and a few fallen leaves drifted in, and Empress Xiao closed the window, "What if you know it?" The emperor's order cannot be violated, ordinary people like us can only live according to the will of the Son of Heaven, and when it is cold, we must be careful on the road. Hongu is tired, so let's go back. After that, she dragged a long nightdress, leaving Ruyue with a cold back.

"Princess, the mother is going to rest." Winter Flower said in Ruyue's ear.

Ruyue sighed and walked out.

Walking out of Empress Xiao's bedroom, Ruyue stood at the door, and the three words of Frost Palace seemed so lonely and lonely.

"It's not a good name. What woman who is deeply affected by Long would choose such a cold and thin word? ”

"It is said that when the emperor was still the prince, he was not so close to the queen." Winter flower interface.

"You know a lot, so do you know why?"

"The slave maid doesn't know, but the slave guesses that the mother must be too dignified and serious, so the emperor only has respect left."

"But she was so stupid, under the banner of bewitching the lord, she killed the emperor's most beloved woman." Ruyue shook her head slightly, her tone full of regret. changed the topic again, "Do you like Taiyuan, Shanxi?" Why don't you go there for a few days? ”

"The princess likes it, and the slave and maid go the same everywhere."

said that she wanted to clean up things, but in fact, Ruyue had nothing to clean up, and she was used to wiping the jade flute left by Qing Yang every day and gently putting it in the package. In the afternoon, the sun shone obliquely, and the palace maids had begun to light the fire, and there were a few plates of dim sum on the mahogany table, which Xuan'er secretly took a few pieces and stuffed them into the cage of jujubes.

"I'm a princess anyway, so I don't have snacks, and I still come to steal them." Ruyue teased her.

Xuan'er's face was slightly red, and she walked over, still jingling.

"Sister Yue, are you really leaving?" She sat on the edge of the bed and helped Ruyue sort out her clothes.

"It's also called sister, I'm your sister-in-law according to generation." Ruyue made a gesture and knocked her on the forehead.

She stuck out her tongue: "The royal rank is really complicated, obviously only one year older, and you still have to call your aunt, which is obviously cheap." She muttered to herself, but drew laughter from a room of maids.

"What's so good about Taiyuan?" She continued. Ruyue's heart touched a picturesque man and his smiling eyes.

"Sister Yue, your face is so red!" Xuan'er screamed as if she had found something.

"Nonsense." Ruyue hurriedly interrupted her, covering her hot cheeks with both hands.

"Oh, I'm not messing with you." Xuan'er put away her usual naughty face, and suddenly hugged Ruyue, "I know that people in the royal family don't talk about sincerity, but Xuan'er is sincere to Sister Yue, Xuan'er-Xuan'er will miss you!" A tear fell into my neck, and she took something out of her wrist, stuffed it into Ruyue's hand, and ran to the main hall like a deer.

Ruyue lowered her head, it was the agate coral bracelet that she always showed off like herself, and Ruyue's heart couldn't help but be moved: "Fool"

Li Shimin only said that Taiyuan is unusual these days, it stands to reason that although the Son of Heaven has palaces in various places, the palaces are rare and exotic, gold nuggets and beads, inexhaustible, and they are luxurious enough. Recently, a group of people have quietly come, and they have decorated the palace again and again, he once relied on the moonlight to go in and see, only to see that there is a night pearl as a lamp, white jade as a brick, but the interior is so luxurious and the appearance seems to be the same as before, he even inquired about the government, but all of them were closed, he had a vague premonition in his heart, the flame of hope burned more and more in his heart, almost made him sleep, he couldn't wait for the arrival of the person at the door every day, completely ignored the gentle and lovely lady beside him. Since that day when she saw the Li Mansion, how smart the eldest grandson Ning Xi was, how could the idlers in Tang Guogong's mansion enter at will, and if he was idle and wild cranes, others would not dare to disturb her, so she lingered in the Li Mansion every day, just hoping to see each other again.

She always follows behind Li Shimin, quiet as a virgin, not much to say, and not noisy, her embroidery is unrivaled, even his eldest brother is eager to follow. Occasionally, the house invited a troupe, and she could put on a costume at will to "babble", that is, on Li Yuan's birthday, she improvised swordsmanship as a dance, and danced as ink, as if in the blink of an eye to complete a picture of "Hundred Immortals Celebrating Birthday". Even if he occasionally spoiled his stomach, when she heard about it, she glanced at his face, and then found an unknown weed from the backyard, and after a dose of medicine, he actually became a tiger. Every time everyone was dumbfounded, she looked neither humble nor arrogant, standing behind her shyly, regardless of how many rich sons looked at her. However, Li Shimin did not have any joy, and even his father personally came to ask the young lady of the Li family how she was, he knew that Li Yuan needed the strength of the eldest grandson clan to protect himself. He didn't understand what kind of brow he had touched to provoke a young lady who couldn't find fault with it. He was extremely irritable, hiding in Tibet every day to guard the door of the emperor's palace, once sat on the glazed tile roof of the palace, but did not feel sleeping, in his sleep dreamed that Ruyue rolled his eyes at himself, he thought, if he was hiding from the beautiful lady like a flower and jade for her, how could he still get white eyes. He woke up in a hurry, seeing the stars shining brightly, the streets deserted, and occasionally the little man who fought the watch shouted inarticulately: "The weather is dry, be careful of the candles." Hurriedly let out a breath, and in the next second, the eldest grandson Ningxi suddenly appeared on the roof and took a cloak, looking at himself with affection, he suspected that he was dreaming, closed his eyes, and fell. On that day, he not only broke his buttocks, but was also chased by the soldiers guarding the palace for three streets in pain, and he lay in his own wing, only to feel that the sky was dark. At noon the next day, he was woken up by the smell of things, and the good blue and white porcelain in front of him was full of bone broth and fragrant drunken chicken, he didn't have time to think about it, gobbled it up, and when the maid who cleaned up the mess told him that it was the handiwork of the eldest grandson Ningxi, he lay on the bed weakly and howled: "Yang Ruyue, if you don't show up again, the handsome and dashing son will be robbed by others, you irresponsible princess of flowers!" ”
