The autumn sun is a bit harsh, but it's not hot.

Xi Ning followed the emperor out of the imperial study and stood on the white marble platform.

"Go back to the East Palace, I won't implicate others in this matter. What's more, whether Long Yu is treason or not remains to be discussed. Although the emperor's words gave in, the tone was still not good.

Mu Tianhong kowtowed and apologized, and left with the support of Gonggong Jiang.

The emperor stood at the top of the steps, looked at the eaves of the palace wall, and sighed with emotion: "Xi Ning, I am afraid that you are the only one who can understand my mood now." ”

Xi Ning understood what he meant, only he and himself were in charge of a country, and they could understand the helplessness.

"Your Majesty, relax, the sky is always blue, and there is no endless road to the sky." Xi Ning smiled lightly.

Yu Wangfu, the eldest princess Jingchen, who just wanted to enter the palace to beg the queen mother, stopped in front of the gate of Yuwang Mansion: "The prince has been forgiven by the emperor?" ”

"The crown prince was not blamed by the emperor at all," Gu Mama replied, "His Royal Highness Xi Ning of Hua Xu went to the imperial study immediately after the emperor went to the early court, and after saying some words, the emperor came out, saying that Princess Long Yu's affairs had nothing to do with other people, and that it was not certain whether Princess Long Yu was guilty of treason!" She was also amazed that the change was unexpected.

The eldest princess of Jingchen was silent for a moment: "She actually said good things for Princess Long Yu?" Before the words fell, a long-lost voice had drifted around him.

"Xi Ning has always been a person who takes care of the overall situation," Xia Yichen said lightly, walked out of the gate of King Yu's Mansion, and ordered, "Go to the East Palace." ”

The eldest princess of Jingchen was speechless.

In front of the Queen Mother, Xia Yixue was under Chenghuan's knees.

Xi Ning was talking to several concubines and concubines on the side. A concubine quipped: "It's been a long time, and now the lord of Lixue is going to leave the cabinet!" ”

Xia Yixue blushed when she heard this, and bowed her head slightly.

The Queen Mother didn't know the news yet. When I heard this, I was a little puzzled: "Yo, this is not just coming back yesterday, when is the news?" ”

Xi Ning smiled: "It can be seen how satisfied Yu Shangshu is with this daughter-in-law, as soon as the lord of Lixue came home yesterday, he came to the door to say goodbye!" Lord Lixue is so blessed! ”

"His Royal Highness Xi Ning......" Xia Yixue was a little embarrassed, but more complicated.

Xi Ning, Ah Ugly. This morning, help Princess Long Yu speak, help the prince break the siege, and help her solve the crisis. But he wants to go back to Huaxu alone.

"In our Huaxu, the bride is not so shy," Xi Ning said like an overseas anecdote, these concubines. I've been in the palace for a long time. I like to hear this, "When we get married there, the bridegroom will take the bride around our city, and people passing by will send blessings and throw wreaths to them." There is also a saying that the newlyweds receive the most wreaths, and the days to come will be full of flowers! ”

One of the concubines smiled: "It sounds very fresh, but I just think that there are so many flowers." It's a bit of a ruin! ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

The Queen Mother's face is not very good-looking.

After Xi Ning noticed. changed the subject: "Actually, the affairs of this child's in-laws are all fate. Sometimes we look good, but after all, we don't have a little fate and can't make it. Sometimes, it's just that the time hasn't come. I didn't mention this this year, but I didn't succeed, and maybe I will mention it again next year, and I can't force it. Therefore, the lord of Lixue County must cherish a good marriage! ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face turned slightly pale - maybe the time has not come, isn't this not yet married? The county lord of Yuwang's Mansion is married, and the Yu family is also everyone, and the three media and six hires have to be tossed for at least a year. Before we reached the last step, things still had a turnaround.

"Hey, it's a pity for Princess Longyu," a concubine sighed, "This child has grown up watching, why did he become ...... like this?"

The Queen Mother shook her head: "Long Yu has always been strong, and she is afraid that she will follow her father." Now this situation, hey! The emperor also has his thoughts, why doesn't this kid be considerate of his father? We have a lot of heirs in our Mu family, and it wouldn't be a big deal to lose her! ”

Xi Ning felt a little embarrassed in her heart: the Queen Mother had no heart to send the eldest princess Jingchen to the Yuwang Mansion, and now she is also ...... to Princess Longyu

"It's all the meat that fell from the parents, that is, the impulse of the moment and a half, and it will be fine in a few days!" Xi Ning persuaded.

Then, I immediately changed the subject, only picked out interesting things, and the atmosphere was warm again.

When she left the palace, Xi Ning kept walking dozens of steps behind Xia Yixue, and she felt a lot more relieved until she watched her get into the carriage of Yuwang's Mansion.

"I'm afraid that someone will stumble on her, especially the people of the fourth prince. If something happens at this juncture, it will not be the handiwork of the Queen Mother, it must be the handiwork of the fourth prince. At that time, the Yu family, the Yu Wangfu, and the Fan family will all fall apart. Xi Ning sighed.

"Coincidentally," Xu Ziyu smiled, "The fourth princess will invite you tomorrow, what kind of idea do you say she played?" ”

"How do I know about the Dao? The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they are most afraid that she will move the tiger away from the mountain. I think it's best for Xia Yixue to pretend to be sick tomorrow," Xi Ning thought about it, took out a beaded flower, and instructed Qingying, "You catch the carriage of King Yu's Mansion in front of you and tell Lord Lixue about this strategy." ”

Xia Yixue, who returned to Yuwang's Mansion, was immediately pulled by the eldest princess of Jingchen to ask long and short questions.

Xia Yixue told the eldest princess Jingchen word by word, and added: "When I left the palace, the people around His Royal Highness Xining chased after me, saying that my beads had just been spent. As a result, I realized that my bead flower had really fallen, but I didn't understand how it fell. Then the man said, "Let me pretend to be sick tomorrow!" ”

"His Royal Highness Xi Ning asked you to pretend to be sick tomorrow?" The eldest princess of Jingchen was a little surprised, and only added after a while, "Perhaps, she found something unfavorable to you." Then you will pretend to be sick tomorrow and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”

Xia Yixue nodded.

In the East Palace, Xia Yichen pleaded guilty to the crown prince Mu Tianhong: "I didn't expect my mother to be so quiet and stir things up like this, which led to today's situation." Mother's actions are really not considered. ”

Mu Tianhong was half-lying on the couch, with the medicine given by the emperor on his knees: "It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with my aunt, who would have expected the current result?" None of your intentions were intended. Long Yu is too fierce, and he acted without consulting me and the queen mother. It's a burden on you, and now your reputation outside is even worse. ”

Xia Yichen smiled: "I'm not worried about this, I don't have a good reputation in the first place, but it gives Cousin Long Yu a good reason to refuse." I'm just worried about the emperor's attitude, and I'm afraid that my uncle will be dissatisfied with His Royal Highness and my aunt because of this matter. ”

"Father's side, it's nothing. Today, my father also came to the East Palace to speak and give medicine. Now I see that His Royal Highness Xi Ning said a word in front of his father, which is more useful than Concubine Zhao. Mu Tianhong was a little helpless.

"This matter is very sensitive, Concubine Zhao Guifei came out to speak, it is undoubtedly a stone, and the queen mother has ulterior motives. His Royal Highness Xi Ning is an outsider, and it is useful at this time. Xia Yichen analyzed.

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness Xi Ning is willing to contribute to the calming of the people, but what should be done later, if Long Yu is recovered, will it be difficult to force marriage? But will my father agree to dissolve the marriage? If you can't find it back, will it drag you for the rest of your life? Mu Tianhong had a headache.

"Your Highness, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Xia Yichen hesitated.

Mu Tianhong waved his hand: "You just say it, now is the time to work together, and everyone should think about the way." ”

"Your Highness thinks that Princess Longyu and I are suitable?" Xia Yichen frowned slightly.

Mu Tianhong was silent for a while: "Long Yu has a strong temperament, sometimes she knows right and wrong, but she still follows her own temperament. For example, this father's marriage is the best proof of this. Long Yu needs someone who tolerates her and even indulges her, and can handle the mess for her. And you, on the surface, are ridiculous, but in fact you have a heart, you are very assertive, and you don't like others to point fingers at you. The next day, you need a woman who is all-round and self-reliant. In that case, you are indeed not suitable. ”

Xia Yichen breathed a sigh of relief: The prince's cousin's judgment of people is still very accurate.

"In that case," Mu Tianhong paused, "It's better to find a way to dissolve your marriage contract as soon as possible, and this king doesn't want to see you and Long Yu become a couple of resentful couples." But how did my aunt come up with the idea of bringing you together? ”

"Your Highness, it's all the minister's fault." Xia Yichen saluted and pleaded guilty.

"Oh? Could it be that there is something else going on? Mu Tianhong couldn't help but be curious.

Xia Yichen sighed: "The reason why my mother is so quick to cut through the mess is because she disagrees with the woman I fall in love with. ”

Mu Tianhong was surprised: "Yichen, you have kept your heart for nineteen years, why did you suddenly say that you fell in love?" Where is it sacred? "This cousin, if you don't make a sound, you're already a blockbuster!

"Please forgive Your Highness, I have fallen in love with His Royal Highness Xining since Jiayuguan. It's a pity that my mother objected, and as a result, it turned things like this, it's all because of my own selfishness, I-" Xia Yichen wanted to apologize, but was immediately stopped by Mu Tianhong.

"What are you doing, it's not a bad thing at all! Today, my father came to see me, and the meaning of his words was to marry Hua Xu! Mu Tianhong revealed.

Xia Yichen was surprised: "Marriage? How to connect? ”

"Father just has a preliminary idea, I think it is to pick the children of the clan. The meaning of the father, Huaxu Kingdom will definitely prosper in the future, if it can form a good relationship with Qin and Jin, the Western Regions will definitely be determined, and when the time comes, they will be able to deal with evil together. Mu Tianhong explained.

"But now my marriage contract with Princess Longyu ......" Xia Yichen gritted his teeth secretly, it really can't be done without asking the prince's cousin for help in this game! Fortunately, the crown prince didn't know what happened to him and Ah Chou in the past, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain it now.

"That's why I have to find a way, after all, neither this king nor the queen mother can look at Long Yu unhappy," What's more, if Xia Yichen can be with Xi Ning, he can ensure that Hua Xu does not support the fourth brother, "But this time you have to learn a lesson, what does His Royal Highness Xi Ning mean to you, if you mess up, the diplomatic relations between the two countries will be over." ”

Xia Yichen bowed his head slightly: "It's good that Your Highness will leave this matter to me, the key is Princess Longyu's matter, what should I do next." (To be continued......)
