In the Chonghua Palace, the prince was lying on a chaise longue with a red sandalwood belt and a mud-inlaid brocade throne under the Lingxiao flower stand, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Under the tightly closed pair of eyelids, those eyeballs were turning back and forth, obviously restless and unable to sleep.

The crown princess Tang Shi Wanyi sat quietly on the side, holding a pair of ivory carved handles in her hands.

The surface of the fan is as thin as a cicada's wings, and it shines with a beautiful luster unique to fine silk in the morning light.

On the fan surface, a peony has just been half embroidered, and the gold and silver threads used as female red gongbi stand obliquely on the lifelike peony petals.

Her eyes were lowered, looking at the needlework in her hands, but she glanced at the half-lying prince on the side, her eyes were already red, but she didn't dare to say anything.

"Master Yue, I should have left, the time for the dynasty has arrived."

The prince finally couldn't help it, and opened his eyes, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to the princess without a match.

His gaze was fixed on the high sky outside the walls of Chonghua Palace.

"Well, it's time to leave, so you can't miss the hour." Crown Princess Tang replied softly.

She was still puzzled in her heart, why her husband, as the crown prince, was willing to imprison himself in this square inch of land, willing to be a bird in a cage and a frog at the bottom of a well.

Although he did make mistakes before, the prince has always behaved like this, why is the situation so different now

She is a female generation, and she doesn't understand the situation in the court, let alone the power struggle between men and women.

She only knew that she was the crown princess of Dajing and the daughter of the Tang family

Her father has never been a rampant and unreasonable person before the court today, but he came to Chonghua Palace alone to break through the palace gate, it must be a big thing in the family

Thinking of this, her daughter's tears couldn't help but burst into her eyes, and she cried softly and asked

"Can the prince let his father enter the palace for a while, although he invited himself to live in seclusion, but his father is his own family, come to see his daughter, those who love to chew their tongues and make small reports, they can't say that we have broken the rules."

The prince sat up from the recliner at once, looked out the door faintly, and said

"I said you women, even if you have long hair and short knowledge, we are now sitting in a city of sorrow, and this is not the same as in the past."

Originally, his crown prince still thought that he could rely on this extremely popular minister, Lord Yue, to save himself from the crisis, and take advantage of his closed-door thinking to re-establish his prestige as a prince.

It is expected that as long as he, the prime minister Tang Yuanzhi, does not fall, he Lu Zhao will have a chance to make a comeback.

Unexpectedly, relying on the mountains and mountains to move themselves became the only life-saving straw for the family of Prime Minister Tang Cheng

When the crown princess looked at his face, she also understood his thoughts, and persuaded him politely

"I know that my husband is worried right now, maybe my father has another trick, why don't you teach my father to come in first, you sit together and discuss. After all, a family has to help each other a little bit before they can go far. ”

The prince didn't say anything, just looked at the corners of Tang's slightly trembling lips, waiting for her to continue.

too

The concubine suddenly hesitated a little, lowered her head, and said softly

"There are some things that the concubines don't know whether to say or not."

This crown princess Tang Wanyi, although she and her brother Tang Boen are biological siblings of the same father and mother, their words and deeds are very different from their brother.

How presumptuous and domineering Tang Byrne is, how gentle and graceful her sister is.

Although the crown prince and his brother-in-law Tang Byrne have the same smell, they have always respected him, the princess of the main family, who is marrying the door with the great gift of the country, and there is not much affection and closeness.

However, Tang's temperament like water made the prince, who had always been arrogant and willful, salute her a little.

She has always been dignified and modest, and Tang Wanyi has always been silent about everything that involves the situation between the DPRK and China, does not make presumptuous discussions, and avoids suspicion a lot, and will not fall into the harem for half a minute.

Today, when the prince saw that she was always so cautious when talking to him, he suddenly felt a sadness, and sighed long

"Well, it's all family, and it's all relatives I care about. On weekdays, I am used to the stars holding the moon and being lively, and now the scenery is gradually getting bigger, and I can see the hypocrisy of the people around me. Now there is only you around, but even you don't dare to be honest with me. I only hate myself for being born in the family of the ruthless emperor."

The prince said, and gently attached his palm to the princess's slender and dexterous hand.

With a long sigh, he put the soft and boneless hand between his big palms and rubbed it continuously.

The crown princess has never treated her husband so warmly and intimately, and when she thought of the prince's heartfelt emotion just now, she couldn't help but be stunned.

When I looked up again, I saw that his face was covered with a short stubble, and his figure looked much thinner.

Her daughter's grievances buried deep in her heart, the unexpected love and pity, and the anxiety and chagrin of the family's inadequacy were all pouring down in the tears.

She hurriedly put down the needle and thread and fan in her hand, lowered her head and looked for a silk handkerchief in her wide sleeves.

When the prince saw her wiping away tears, he only gently stroked her back, and comforted her softly in a gentle tone that he had never had before

"Cry, cry. In a few days, maybe my position as the crown prince will be abolished by my father. When the time comes, even if your father can't keep the title of prime minister, he will only be demoted, and no matter how bad it is, he will be suspended from his post and fined. I don't open the door now to take him in, for his own good, and for the good of both of us and our children. ”

"Prince" Tang Wanyi held a handkerchief in her hand, but she had no heart to wipe her tears.

She turned sideways, hugged the prince's waist from behind, pressed the tearful cheek against his back, and muttered

"The crown prince, don't think so, the prince is the father's favorite child, the eldest son of the first queen, and the most justifiable pure bloodline who inherits the unification, and today blames the concubines for failing to understand the husband's good intentions."

The crown princess cried so much that she was raining, and said intermittently

"It's all the fault of the concubines, and there are thousands of concubines

Li Wan didn't have to talk to the prince about the prince's temperament, and the prince said this today, and the concubines would say anything to the prince in the future. The prince is in the hearts of his concubines, and he is a real dragon hidden underwater. Don't use the hidden dragon, and be patient when you stay, stay in the green mountains, and there will always be a chance for the flying dragon to be in the sky."

Since the beginning of the New Year, the prince has been locked up in the East Palace, and he has not experienced the long-lost feeling of warm fragrant nephrite in his arms.

Especially the words of the crown princess were so intimate, warm and sensible, which made the prince's chest suddenly rise with excitement and generosity.

Don't use the hidden dragon, until the flying dragon is in the sky

He didn't want to, he didn't want to

It's just that in recent days, he has been disheartened and tiptoeing, just wanting to lock himself in this small Chonghua Palace in peace, ignorant of the world, not asking about the government, no matter where everything will go in the future.

Inviting oneself to be claustrophobic is tantamount to covering one's ears and stealing the bell, but it seems to be full of remorse and sincerity.

The little thorn in his heart, but he didn't expect to be gently said by the weak and inconspicuous woman in front of him, and he pulled it out to dry under the blue sky and white sun.

It was he who had always underestimated the soft-spoken and gentle woman in front of him

Unexpectedly, he Lu Zhao would one day need to draw strength and fighting spirit from her, a weak little woman

He thought that marrying her and entering the door was just to value the big tree surnamed Tang behind her.

Now, he doesn't know whether his Tang family is the big tree he relies on, or whether he is the big tree that supports his Tang family's glory so far

He only woke up today, and from the moment she Tang Wanyi stepped into the East Palace, they had already been connected by blood and roots.

Thinking so, the prince turned around and grasped the slender jade hands that were around his waist with both hands.

He gently held those hands, raised them above his chest, pressed against his chest, stared at her autumn pupils, and smiled bitterly

"Well said, well said, you go on."

In his eyes, which were already dotted with tears, there was a complicated look of impressed Tang Wanyi.

The crown princess has never seen such a gaze from the prince, and when he stared at her like this, shyness, emotion, grievance, and generosity all came to her heart, and the ups and downs were uneasy.

She couldn't help lowering her head, lost her voice for a while, and pondered for a while, but met his approving and encouraging gaze, nodded, and promised

"The prince's bitter concubine knows that the current crisis is not good for a few days ago, and the prince will just live a few ordinary days behind closed doors like ordinary people's homes. I hope that after the emperor is angry, there will naturally be a will. It's just that now, since Daddy came rashly, I'm afraid"

The prince looked at the pink delicacy on her face that had already been mottled with tears on her face, like a cute and pitiful little flower cat, he couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud

"If you have anything else you don't dare to say to your husband, just say it. It's okay to be wrong. ”

The crown princess's eyes flashed with tears and looked at the front with great determination, and said magnificently

"But if you pass this pass, it means that the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains, but the concubine has a plan to get out of trouble, if it is wrong, the prince will not say it to me."
