Xilingyue silently wrote down the time, and was afraid that something would happen that day, so she took the initiative to propose: "Lieutenant Tutu, why don't we agree on a code word?" That's ...... It's more reassuring. ”

Tutu Chengguang smiled, as if approving her caution: "Since you are going to Qianling, it is better to use the poems of the Empress Wu as a code word." ”

"The flower whiskers are sent overnight," he said, "and the latter sentence is ......"

"Don't wait for the wind to blow!" Xiling Yue answered immediately.

Tutu Chengxuan shook his head with a smile: "No, this sentence is known to the world, you have to answer 'Ming Dynasty tour Shangyuan'." ”

The Ming Dynasty traveled to the garden, and quickly reported the spring.

The flowers are sent overnight, don't wait for the wind to blow.

This is a flower-urging poem made by Empress Wu "La Ri Xuan Zhao Xing Shangyuan". It is said that the queen of martial arts visited the garden in winter, and wrote this poem after drinking, and ordered the flowers to bloom overnight. On the second day, the sky was clear, the frozen pool froze, and the flowers were in full bloom. Only the peony was not released for a long time, and the queen of Wu was angry and transplanted the thousands of peonies in the palace to Luoyang, and since then there have been no peonies in Chang'an City.

Xilingyue didn't believe that Empress Wu had this ability at all, but because of this allusion, this flower-urging poem was extremely prestigious. Tutu Chengxuan took out two unrelated sentences from it, and reversed the order, which is really not easy to guess.

Xilingyue immediately responded: "It's still Lieutenant Tutu who thinks thoughtfully, I wrote it down." ”

"The county lord is going well." Tutu Chengguang didn't get out of the car to send her home, nor did he give the eldest princess and his wife a chance to thank him, and went straight back to Daming Palace.

Xiling Yue looked at the carriage and walked away, and secretly said that Tutu Chengguang was really a strange person. said that he didn't know etiquette, but he was a favorite minister of the Son of Heaven, and he started as a eunuch; It can be said that he knows the etiquette, but he doesn't see the eldest princess and his wife at all, and he doesn't even take the opportunity to make friends with Guo Jiapan, and he doesn't know if he is too conceited or what.

However, this thought only flashed in Xiling Yue's heart, and she cheered up and prepared to deal with the anger of her parents.

As of that night, she had been missing for two days and one night, and the whole house was in a hurry, but she kept it from the outside world, for fear that the news would damage her reputation even more.

The eldest princess was really annoyed and angry this time, and without waiting for her to explain, she locked her in the firewood room, and said sharply: "Before Pei Fu makes up her mind, no one is allowed to let her out!" ”

Xilingyue didn't expect it to be so serious, for fear of missing the opportunity to go to Qianling, so she hurriedly pleaded: "Mother, my daughter knows that she is wrong, and she won't dare anymore!" ”

The eldest princess's face turned pale: "It's useless to say anything!" It's just that I indulge you too much on weekdays to teach you to make such a big mistake! ”

Xiling Yue saw that she was angry, and went to see the faces of Guo Yan and Guo Zhongting, and saw that the two of them were also annoyed, and hurriedly explained: "Father and mother, Brother Zhongting, I am thinking of saving the prince!" ”

"How dare you say that?!" The eldest princess was even more angry when she heard this, "Don't you know the rumors in the palace? Now you don't know how to converge, you ...... You...... I'm so! ”

"Mother is angry," Guo Zhongting relented after all, and opened his mouth to persuade, "Yue'er is also confused for a while, isn't the saint angry with her." ”

"Not angry?" The eldest princess asked coldly, "The Holy Lord wants to send your Uncle Fu Wang, who in the court dares to speak?" The Guo family has been favored for decades, and the king of Fenyang County has retreated, just knowing how to protect himself! Why don't you make your aunt the queen when you are a saint? Aren't you afraid of the Guo family? Now that Yue'er is making such a fuss, isn't it just an excuse to give the saint! When the eldest princess said this, she seemed to be still angry, and continued to reprimand Xiling Yue, "Why hasn't the saint established a prince?" Don't you just don't want to be the king? Now how many princes are eyeing the position of the prince, and they are about to grasp the shortcomings of the Guo family, you are in a hurry to give people a handle! ”

Even Guo Jun, who has always been gentle, asked with a reproach: "Yue'er, the matter of the last birth gang, you still know that the overall situation is the most important, why do you have to wade into troubled waters this time?" ”

"That's different." Xilingyue tried to explain, "Last time, the prince took the initiative to admit the crime for the queen mother, and he was willing, but this time he was wronged!" Once this charge is confirmed, will he still have a way to live? ”

Speaking of this, Xilingyue was even more worried in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel sour at the tip of her nose.

What about the eldest princess and his wife? The day before yesterday, the two went to the palace to inquire about the news, and they had already learned all the inside information.

"You can't blame the saint for this," Guo Yan sighed, "He already has a knot in his heart for King Fu, and now that the evidence is conclusive, it is impossible for anyone not to doubt it." ”

"But the prince, he was really wronged!" Xi Lingyue hurriedly pleaded, and went to see the eldest princess again, "Mother, he is your younger brother, you know his character and temperament best, how can he be the orphan of the Wu family, how can he rebel!" ”

However, a trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess: "But Cheng Xuan was indeed not born in the palace, when Jingyuan mutinied...... It's not impossible to be repackaged. ”

"Mother?" Xiling Yue looked at her in surprise.

The eldest princess sighed again: "Yue'er, you don't know, Cheng Xuan has been special since he was a child. Nine out of ten men of the Li Tang royal family have hereditary wind disease, and the saint also has it, and he is fine; He is excellent in martial arts, and he also likes the constellations, and he is an outlier among the princes; Not to mention the female sex, looking at the royal family compared to the top, which is not a group of wives and concubines, only he can hold it. He is indeed not like the man of our Li family, his physique, talent, temperament, and preferences are not the same. The eldest princess spoke in a heavy tone.

Thinking that she was too serious, even Guo Zhongting showed a look of surprise: "Mother, you ...... No jokes? ”

"When is it, and I'm still joking?" The eldest princess's expression was gloomy, and she sighed to Xiling Yue again, "Don't blame your mother for being ruthless. If he makes other mistakes, I, as the eldest sister, can make peace, but I will never open my mouth for major matters related to the country, and I will not let you get involved. ”

"Twenty years of brotherhood, can you really be ruthless?" Xiling Yue asked in a trembling voice.

This time, without waiting for the eldest princess to reply, she heard Guo Yan speak in a deep voice: "Yue'er, do you know the difference between the royal family and the ordinary portal?" ”

"Ordinary portals pay attention to sibling affection; But born in a royal family, the first priority is the supremacy of family interests. Guo Yan pointed to Guo Zhongting as he spoke, "I don't believe you ask your brother, even if he is close to King Fu, will he give up the entire family for this one person?" ”

Xilingyue unconsciously went to see Guo Zhongting, and he was silent.

Xiling Yue gradually felt disappointed. In fact, she knew in her heart that the choice of the eldest princess and his wife was not wrong, and they were taught that the family was supremacy since childhood. She has not heard of it, so she is not qualified to judge right and wrong, but she does not agree.

"Yue'er grew up in a small rich family, and her knowledge is limited, and she only knows that if she has no relatives, her family will be scattered." Xilingyue wiped away the bubbling tears and looked up at them, "Eight months ago, I went to Zhenhai alone for my father-in-law and brother-in-law. If I was afraid of offending Ziqing and the imperial court, I would not have left Xichuan, let alone have the opportunity to return to the Guo family. If it was my father and mother, anyone in the Guo family, even if it was just my friend, I would still do it. Xilingyue's voice was soft, but her attitude was unprecedentedly firm.
