Passing by a few counties, most of them encountered resistance, so they simply went directly to the state capital of Songzhou.

But when they faced the refusal of the state order again, Wuguo was completely annoyed.

As soon as the holy decree was thrown in her hand, there was a burst of anger for no reason, and she sat on the stool, looking at the minister who was respectful to her on the surface, and her heart was displeased.

Along the way, these officials either shirked for the interests of the county, or for their so-called political achievements, and even more clearly did not want to support her work and wanted her to embarrass her in front of the court.

She sneered: "My lord, not to mention that this is the will of my father and the emperor himself, is this repeated prevarication really what you, an official of Yingnan, should do?" ”

The wine glass in his hand was shattered, and his eyes were full of fierceness: "I heard that I have been an official for many years and have neither fault nor political achievements, but the inspection of the officials is imminent, and I don't know what agreement has been reached!" ”

The eldest uncle looked at her, his eyes full of disagreement, but after seeing her angry face, he finally said nothing.

The state commander stood at the foot of the hall, bowed his waist, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness is joking, how dare you do this." ”

It's just the time to say this, with a smile on his face, but no remorse.

Before coming back, her wife told her that the Song Zhou Governor was treacherous and cunning, and he had to smile at anyone he saw, and he was a guy who didn't eat oil and salt.

At that time, the family couldn't win over, but was sent here to make a small state order.

However, now it seems that it really responds to Taifu's words - "It's a difficult guy." ”

Wuguo looked at her, with anger on his face, but he was overwhelmed by the other party's fluttering smile.

At this moment, a laugh came from the door.

Everyone looked up, and saw that the eldest prince was wearing a purple robe and ribbon, with a smile on his face, and walked to Wuguo with a hanging appearance, folding the fan in his hand, and called out like that: "Little sister." ”

Hongdou poked his head out from behind him, and he looked like a proper woman from a small family of jasper without palace clothes.

The emerald green ruffled shirt showed half of his wrist, and his face without any makeup had a smile like that of the great prince.

At the same time as Cheng Yang opened his mouth, he also shouted: "Princess." ”

The two have a tacit understanding, as if they have agreed.

Wuguo looked at the two of them in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while, but saw Cheng Yang holding a jade pendant carved with Qingluan and handing it to the state order.

The Qingluan relief is hovering on the jade gemstone with a vivid and flexible appearance, and its preciousness is faintly visible.

Seeing Yu Pei, the cong adult immediately knelt down, and the face that had always been smiling and grinning was gone, but he solemnly kowtowed in the direction of Wuguo: "The minister will definitely do his best to do this." ”

It's just that the head just now doesn't know whether it's for Wuguo or Chengyang on her side.

The eldest uncle stood not far away and looked at this well-dressed man, and suddenly felt that the other party was unfathomable.

Wuguo looked at Cheng Yang dumbly, and under the urging of the other party, he sent the state order before facing him with a serious face: "What's the matter with that jade pendant?" ”

Cheng Yang knocked the folding fan in his hand on Wuguo's forehead, then got up and said proudly: "Of course, it is your brother's righteous and brave deeds." ”

Hongdou was just smiling next to him, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of people.

Wuguo looked left and right, his brows furrowed, and it took a long time to suddenly realize.

She looked back at the eldest uncle, but lost interest in gossip in the other party's gaze outside, and the whole person tugged at the sleeve of the red bean: "My good red bean, have you brought pastries, I have been starving to death recently." ”

Red beans take out the pastries from the backpack, red beans, mung beans, pear crisps, you name it.

It's all to her liking.

In fact, Wuguo doesn't know how he raised his preference for sweets. After thinking about it for so many years, she finally had to live in the south in her previous life.

I chewed on the sweet and greasy taste inside, and I couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing this, Cheng Yang just walked in front of the eldest uncle, and took the person out with a hook of his hand.

Wuguo saw it and hurriedly shouted, but blushed in the other party's words "I won't abuse my brother-in-law".

When the two of them disappeared completely, Wuguo looked at the red bean in front of him with a serious face: "Tell me honestly, when did you get together." ”

Hongdou repaid the smile: "It's probably when the painting workshop arrests people." ”

Wuguo frowned: "But my father has just agreed to the marriage of my brother and the daughter of Taifu Yang." ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Hongdou's face was gone.

She turned around and picked out the pastries, and said for a long time: "Your Royal Highness, Hongdou was five years old when she entered the palace and accompanied the eldest prince and princess, at that time, my mother was partial to the two highnesses, and when I was framed and fell into the ice lake and almost half died, she treated me, the princess is the one I have to protect when I die." Under the fierce gaze of my mother, I engraved that sentence in my heart. ”

She handed a piece of pastry to Wuguo and continued: "But then I watched your mother grow up, from a small one to a remarkable flower. ”

"Your Highness is probably the same existence for me."

What everyone didn't know was that she fell into the ice and it was an unintentional act of a boy who saved her, saying, "The palace is festive now, who allowed people to die." ”

Dotted with stars, she remembered a dark robe, and the green luan jade pendant around her waist exuded a different kind of light in the warm sun.

Looking at her appearance, Wuguo twisted his eyebrows: "But now, it's impossible for you to be his wife." ”

Hongdou smiled brightly: "I can be his concubine." ”

Hunting in the cold wind that day, she said to his back: "The flash flood broke out, the Tianhe River flowed backwards, and the red bean died to protect him." ”

Wuguo lowered her eyes, she knew that the word "love" was the biggest dilemma in the world, and she was not trapped in it.

In the courtyard, Cheng Yang looked at the eldest uncle, and there was no smile in his eyes, but after so many years, he still looked disdainful.

He chuckled, he really didn't understand why his sister liked him, so he reluctantly handed him the jade pendant in his hand for a long time.

"In the early years, I managed some contacts for Xiao Wuguo in the court, and this jade pendant was a secret letter to them."

"Including the people of the Qi family?" The eldest uncle raised an eyebrow.

"Of course."

Cheng Yang walked over: "Wuguo will have to participate in the battle for the throne sooner or later, and I, as the imperial brother, naturally want to help her take care of everything." ”

"Why don't you use him to support yourself on the throne."

"Because that position was originally Xiao Wuguo's."

Uncle Chang's eyebrows flickered a few times, naturally knowing that he might have reached some agreement with the former empress, but he couldn't help but admire his wrist when he thought that even the Qi family's army, which was in the iron bucket, was also beaten into the minister.

Such an ability, in any era, is an emperor through the ages. But at this moment, he gave up everything for the one in the house.
