Tang Yini returned to the Taiming Palace, this morning's ceremony was really cumbersome and complicated, but he was tired and sweaty, but he just saw General Mo Lin sitting below, I don't know if Brother Yao came to the palace today?

She was born in the palace, and she is the eldest princess, her delicate status naturally can't always go out of the palace, but a few years ago, she occasionally called the imperial dining room to make Brother Yao's favorite pastries to see Brother Yao, and sent it to herself, and it actually attracted some gossip, saying that the princess fell in love with the young general, and the general's mansion was going to marry the emperor, but she was angry enough, and there was not much time to go to the general's mansion in the future, after all, in the palace, she still had to learn female virtues such as three from the four virtues, and occasionally trained to ride a horse and archery.

"Princess Qiyu, the little masters of this general are all gathered in the front yard, and they are trying to test their riding and archery martial arts there, do you want me to go to the front yard to have a look and see if there is a major general?" Frost Butterfly saw the princess lying on the Arhat bed, her brows tightly locked, and immediately stepped forward and said.

Tang Yini saw that Frost Butterfly sped up her pace and walked out of the palace, and walked to the front yard, she sat up, walked to the dresser, looked at herself in the rhombic bronze mirror, and couldn't help but sigh that time passed quickly.

She is fifteen years old, and the queen mother also whispers in her ear from time to time how the princes and nobles of which family look like and how big their skills are, and she knows the thoughts of the queen mother, but why doesn't the queen mother know her thoughts? It is rumored in the palace that she likes Major General Mo Xingyao, hasn't the queen mother heard these gossips? However, among so many candidates, Mo Xingyao was not mentioned.
