Yang Siqiao left Guanzhong at the end of the king's mourning in mid-March and returned to the Shendu to contact Guyi, in order to delay the date of the king's return to the capital. Naturally, I don't know what happened later and why.

But even if he knew, seeing Her Royal Highness the princess's nagging and complaining again and again, he really didn't dare to refute it, so he could only bow his head and be trained.

Princess Taiping summoned Yang Siqiao, but she didn't have any specific purpose, just an emotional vent. She is angry in her heart, and she is not dedicated to Li Tong alone, aside from these miscellaneous dissatisfactions, she still attaches great importance to this nephew, otherwise there would not be so many complaints.

After a bit of nagging, the depression in her heart eased slightly, and she pointed to Yang Siqiao and asked, "Your king has explained your affairs, have you finished it?" When to go to Xijing? ”

"It's almost over, and I'm going to Xijing in the near future."

Yang Siqiao replied respectfully, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but say: "Her Royal Highness the princess has all kinds of words and teachings, and after the slave went to Xijing, he has been the king of Chen. But selfishly, he had the courage to defend the king, although the king was only weak in the age of the crown, but there was no lack of long-term plans in his mind. Even if there is a loss of favor, it must be because of the persecution of the times. There may be hidden thoughts that can't be detailed, but the king does things for love and never disappoints. ”

"I know that he has this talent, so he also loves to train deeply. If he is just a dolphin who is raised in the idle court, why bother to miss him! ”

Princess Taiping was still angry after hearing this, and after a little silence, she said again: "I know that he will not lose his weight, and everything he does has his own considerations." But if all the feelings are hidden, it will inevitably make the relatives who care about him unclear or misunderstood. When you returned to Xijing this time, you told him that he did not have a personal watch, and he wandered far away for a long time. ”

"Although the situation in Shendu is still turbulent, with his ability to make a living in his old years, he will never have no place to stand. On the contrary, the old relationship has been lost for a long time, and the old family may decline. Although Guanzhong is the ancestral court, but the perverse world, the old can't, even if he stays in Xijing, he is young and knowledgeable, and the rules he can do are limited, so it is better to return to the gods to see the inherent feelings. ”

Why is the young king reluctant to return to the Shendu early, Princess Taiping also has considerations when she is idle. She thinks that the more reliable answer should be that this kid thinks that Xijing is far away from the focus of the current situation, and will not receive too much attention, and has the heritage of the Tang family's old business, so he wants to accumulate some personnel.

But Princess Taiping felt that this idea was still imprudent, the current situation has been carried out to this day, and the old feelings of the characters in Guanzhong are scattered and unstoppable, even if the young king can be entrenched, it is difficult to make a long-term hope. On the contrary, there are many deeds in the god capital in the old years, which is impressive. Conspiring can penetrate into the heart of the Holy Emperor, which is the biggest advantage that he can really live in this world.

What Princess Taiping values most is also the endowment of the young king. In recent years, under her heart-to-heart welcome, coupled with the Holy Emperor's own care for family affection, the relationship between mother and daughter has been greatly eased.

But even so, many times Princess Taiping often has a high and unpredictable sense of providence, so she attaches more and more importance to the astuteness shown by the young king in the old years.

The kings of the Wu clan are in the center of the divine capital, and they divide the Holy Emperor's grace as their private power, and Princess Taiping is also very unpleasant in her eyes.

Although she and Wu Youji have the name of husband and wife, but the relationship between husband and wife is inevitable, at least it is not enough for her to have any sense of belonging to the Wu family, and she hopes that her father can stand up for a character to maintain a sense of existence, and the nephew of the king of Hedong is the natural choice, and he has done it before.

Based on these reasons, Princess Taiping felt that Li Tong's careful thinking was a bit of putting the cart before the horse, and only by re-inviting the favor of the Holy Emperor could he protect him in the stable world, and those old doors in Guanzhong were already in danger, and it was not enough to bring any help to the young king.

Today's Princess Taiping is no longer a hesitant woman who suddenly encountered family changes in the old years, and while maintaining the scene, she has gradually gained experience in dealing with people and things, and has her own views on people and things.

She values this nephew and wants to exert more influence on him, to steer him on the right path and to do what is really supposed to be done.

After a little muttering, she said again: "That kid is proud of his reputation and is nothing more than a young maniac. He has such a Yaxing, it's not good to be too cold in terms of people, and later my Ah Lang will pack up, and you will go to Xijing with him. ”

After sending Yang Siqiao away, Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and said: "The long-distance journey is really tiring, Ah Lang is immature, I'm afraid I can't help it." The king of Hedong is stubborn in his private schemes, but he doesn't understand the good teachings of his relatives, why does Her Royal Highness the princess need to make Lang Jun go on a long trip to help the fun? ”

"The branches are withering, but this is the only show. If I ignore him, who else can I care? Ah Lang is not young, and he has no father's shadow to fight the power, so he should be diligent in human relations, confined at home all the year round, only for two or three women, even if he grows up safely, it is just a waste. ”

Princess Taiping sighed, and then asked: "This eunuch Yang Jiu, visiting the old narrative in the capital, what are the portals for moving around?" ”

"He is the fake son of Sigongtai Yang Laoweng, and the king of Hedong made him return to the capital, thinking that he was also greedy for a little convenience in and out of the forbidden area. Visiting a few houses outside, there is nothing worth talking about, nothing more than a few officials from the old Wangfu who are not in their positions, and there are some merchants in Nanshi......"

Mrs. Zhang spoke carefully, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Now that the Shendu is boiling in this pool, the ministers of the Southern Ya are all in danger, and most of the extravagant official positions of the king in the old years have also been swept away, how can it be so easy to return to the old state of Shendu." ”

"Auntie would be underestimating my nephew if she said that. His long-term plan is not something you can measure. ”

Princess Taiping laughed when she heard this, and then said, "Yang Jiu visited those people, listed the detailed rules, and let the family members connect one by one later." He has been absent for a long time, and his feelings are old, so I always have to help him consolidate it. There are always considerable characters who can be appreciated by him, and it also saves the eye skills of discerning the virtuous relics. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed again: "When it comes to long-term vision, this kid can really boast." Sigongtai and the central officials have been idle for a long time, but Yang Chong is not an outsider because of the deeds of the old years, he also leads the Eagle Workshop and the idle stable, and assists Yulin and Qianqi. I heard that Yang Chong also led the stable, and Wei Tuan'er also helped him. ”

Mrs. Yang was shocked when she heard this, her eyes widened and she sighed: "The situation of the King of Hedong in the forbidden situation is so profound! ”

"Oh, preaching the scriptures under the throne of the law, whether it is profound or not, is only a thought of heaven's will. His Majesty still cares about her grandson. Everything he welcomes is never a moment of leisure, otherwise do you think that everyone can have this calmness of advancing and retreating? ”

When Princess Taiping said this, she stood up and walked back to the inner room, changed into a bright dress, and instructed Mrs. Zhang: "Prepare the frame, collect a few strange things as gifts, and let's enter the palace." ”

The empress now lives in Shangyang Palace, and Princess Taiping drove along the imperial road to the west after crossing the Tianjin Bridge, and after a short time, she entered the Shangyang Palace.

In early summer, the flowers and trees of Shangyang Palace are flourishing, and they are beautiful everywhere. Princess Taiping got off the bus outside the palace gate, traveled all the way, and unconsciously arrived at the branch courtyard, wearing a cyan round-necked robe and a knotted head Shangguan Wan'er strode out to greet her, and when she saw Princess Taiping, she smiled and said: "Your Majesty is living in the palace council, if Her Royal Highness the princess is not in a hurry, you might as well stay here for a short time, and then enter during the meal?" ”

"I'm just an idler, no matter what urgency is reached, I'll bother people here for a while."

Princess Taiping took Guan Wan'er by the hand and walked to the courtyard of this branch, and at the same time said with some doubts: "Along the way, there are few people I have seen, is it that the palace people are idle?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated a little after hearing this, but still said truthfully: "Master Xue is preaching the scriptures and righteousness in the Lintoe Palace, and the palace people are all going to listen there. ”

When Princess Taiping heard this, her brows suddenly wrinkled: "I'm afraid that floating people will talk nonsense, talk about evil seriously, and mislead others and yourself!" ”

"Princess, please be careful."

After hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er subconsciously looked left and right, and whispered to Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping's eyes turned complicated, and she sighed lightly: "Gossip has accumulated for a long time, except for my true close friends, how dare I tell people in front of me." ”

She was resentful of Xue Huaiyi, or because Xue Huaiyi did not save her ex-husband Xue Shao when he saw him die.

similar resentment, and Shangguan Wan'er who tricked her into palace arrest. But after a few years of dating, it was only after Shangguan Wan'er traveled between mother and daughter that her relationship with the Holy Emperor improved, and the old grudge of anger was naturally gradually dispelled.

However, for Xue Huaiyi, Princess Taiping is really getting more and more annoying. His impersonation of the Xue family has made her feel guilty about her ex-husband, and she can't avoid rescue at the moment of life and death, which also makes her have a good impression of this thief monk.

But today's Xue Huaiyi is no longer a courtier in the old years, he led his troops out several times, and the Turks retreated without a fight, although there was no conclusive achievement, but there was no defeat. Under the rendering of people with a heart, the Holy Emperor really regarded Xue Huaiyi as a blessed general, and his grace was even stronger.

Even if Princess Taiping has grievances, she does not dare to stir up trouble and destroy the mother-daughter relationship that has finally become harmonious.

Shangguan Wan'er introduced Princess Taiping into the leisure hall of the Honzhi Courtyard, and then said goodbye and left in a hurry.

After the empress took over, these female officials in the forbidden world also rose with the tide, and they needed to be responsible for a wider range of affairs. Shangguan Wan'er has a deep family education, and she is the daughter of a criminal household who was promoted directly from the court, so she has less contact with the outer court, so she is more trusted by the Holy Emperor, and gradually surpasses several royal justices who are directly involved.

Princess Taiping sat in this hall, and she was not idle, this side hall is Shangguan Wan'er's exclusive place to rest, and all kinds of arrangements are also quite elegant.

Princess Taiping looked at it for a moment, waved her hand and motioned Mrs. Zhang to put up the gifts she brought, walked to the window bookcase, flipped through Shangguan Wan'er's manuscripts, and found two new works of King Hedong "Sauvignon Blanc" and "Tou Bi Night" that were newly introduced from Xijing to Shendu.

Looking at this paper pattern is elegant and fragrant, the penmanship is beautiful and delicate, and it is obvious that the master's intention to copy is obvious. Princess Taiping unfolded this and raised it to Mrs. Zhang, the corners of her mouth slightly pursed a grimace with a strange smile, and did not take it back into the box, just pressed it on the case and waited for Shangguan Wan'er to return.
