Qin Se was still smiling, there was no trace of anger on his face, and he said goodbye happily: "The eldest princess is serious, Qin Se retired." ”

That evening, the eldest princess closed the door and discussed the matter with her husband.

She took out the three notes and asked Guo Yan: "This is the candidate selected by the queen mother, I look good, but I don't understand the affairs of the DPRK and China, which one is the most promising?" ”

Guo Yan took the note and looked at it, these three people are indeed good, but none of them are the best choice. As far as he knew, there were more prominent, more talented, and more age-appropriate important ministers in Chang'an City, and even the sons of princes and princes who had not married, which were more suitable than these three.

Besides, if the daughter marries the prince who is crowned, not only will she be the right person, but she will have a prominent life, and she will not have to leave Chang'an, the best of all three!

But he couldn't guess the queen mother's idea, and it was inconvenient to tell his wife clearly, so he said: "These three people are indeed good, but as far as I know, one of them has been determined to be released, and the other two are about to be transferred." The Queen Mother is looking for these three people, does she have to let Yue'er marry far away? ”

"That's exactly what the Queen Mother had in mind." The eldest princess sighed and repeated what the Queen Mother had said a few days ago.

The more Guo Yan listened, the more confused he became, but after thinking about it, the Queen Mother would not harm Yue'er, but what was so good about these three children, or was it more compatible with Yue'er's temperament?

So he said: "Since the Queen Mother has arranged it, let's see you first." The left and right are borrowed in the name of incense, and they can't talk about it anymore. ”

Early the next morning, Xilingyue was pulled up by the eldest princess and dressed up, saying that she was going to Anguo Temple to repay her vows, and asked Acui and Adan to serve with her.

Xilingyue heard the cause and effect of the vow, so she naturally couldn't refuse, so she let Atsui dress up and travel with the eldest princess. Although she wondered in her heart, shouldn't she dress plainly in front of the Buddha? Why should she dress up in fancy clothes? Not to mention that the eldest princess repeatedly showed excitement along the way, and there was a hint of nervousness in the excitement.

The group set off with maids and guards, but before the carriage reached Anguo Temple, it was blocked in the middle of the road - the carriages of various families stopped one after another, blocking the road to Anguo Temple.

After the coachman's inquiry, it turned out that Anguo Temple had a murder last night, and all gatherings were canceled today, and the door was closed for the next seven days. The carriages on the road were all people who had come to attend the rally or to make incense, and at this moment they all turned around and went back, which blocked the streets.

The eldest princess was quite discouraged when she learned the news, and Liandao was not suitable for travel today.

Xilingyue had a sense of foreboding, and vaguely guessed who the victim was. In order to confirm her conjecture, she insisted on going to the temple to inquire, but the eldest princess couldn't resist her, so she had to obey her wishes.

Just two streets away, due to the siege, the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion traveled for half an hour. When I arrived at the gate of Anguo Temple, I saw that the temple gate was closed, and only a team of bad people were guarding outside, driving away pilgrims.

She sent someone over to inquire, and sure enough, she confirmed her suspicion - last night, Venerable An Cheng was killed.

Xilingyue wanted to enter the temple to inquire about the details, but was blocked by the eldest princess on the grounds that it was not suitable for everyone to set foot in the land of blood and light. Xilingyue finally persuaded her to change her mind, and was stopped by bad people, even if she showed the identity of the eldest princess and the Guo family, she didn't show any mercy.

Xilingyue had to be moved by the bad people guarding the door: "This little lang, I hit it off at first sight with Master An Cheng, and we had tea together a few days ago, and Zen Master Guangxuan, the abbot of Anguo Temple, also knew about it. Now that the Venerable Master has been killed, it is reasonable that I should at least be allowed to see his remains, otherwise how can I be at ease? ”

Xi Lingyue shed two tears as she spoke, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. It's not all acting, as soon as she heard that Venerable An Cheng had been killed, her first reaction was shock and worry, and as soon as she calmed down a little at the moment, that kind of sadness hit her heart.

But the bad guy who guarded the door was still resolute, and replied politely: "The county lord's mind is admired by the villains. But if you want to hang yourself and see the body, you can do it at his transcendent puja or ritual, so why don't you go to that bloody place right now? It also makes it difficult for the little ones. ”

Xiling Yue had only been talking for a long time, her mouth was dry, and seeing their resolute attitude, she felt helpless. After all, she bears the status of the daughter of the Guo family, so it is really not suitable to break in.

The eldest princess waited in the carriage for a long time, and when she saw that the bad people still refused to let her go, she became annoyed first. She originally reluctantly agreed to Xiling Yue entering Anguo Temple, but now that the bad people insisted on blocking the door, and there were many carriages of the family around, she suddenly lost face and was secretly angry.

"Yue'er, you're back!" She lifted the curtain and stretched out her hand to recall Xilingyue, "These little officials have a lowly status, what are you talking nonsense about a county lord with them?" ”

Xilingyue was very embarrassed: "But they are guarding the gate." ”

The eldest princess snorted coldly, turned her head and ordered the chief guard: "Go, call Wu Yuanheng from Jingzhao Mansion!" Just say that I, the eldest princess of Hanyang, invite him! ”

The chief guard didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly beat his horse forward, and the eldest princess leaned in the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Xilingyue's heart jumped when she heard this name, for no other reason, just because Wu Yuanheng was the current Jing Zhaoyin! On the day Adu was killed, she was mistaken for an accomplice by bad people, and after being questioned for a few hours, it was Li Chengxuan who asked Wu Yuanheng to rescue her!

And the eldest princess still doesn't know about this. Xiling Yue was afraid that Wu Yuanheng would expose this matter in public, which would make the eldest princess angry, and she was worried in her heart.

The mother and daughter sat in the carriage and did not speak, but fortunately, Jingzhao Mansion was not far from Anguo Temple, and it happened to be closed today, and the hundred officials did not need to go to the court, and the chief of the guard quickly invited someone over. Xilingyue lifted the corner of the curtain and saw Wu Yuanheng riding a tall horse from a distance, hurrying under the escort of the chief of the guard, followed by several subordinate officials, who seemed to be the county commander and the county lieutenant of Wannian County.

The Tang Dynasty is the world that came immediately, and the sons of heaven in all dynasties are good at riding and love horses. Many officials are also accustomed to riding horses, not riding cars. Although this Jingzhao Yin Wu Yuanheng is an official who worships the three products, he is able to write and martial arts, and he is nearly fifty years old and does not want to take a car, and rides every day.

I saw him riding to the eldest princess's carriage, dismounted neatly, bowed down and said, "Xiaguan Wu Yuanheng, I have seen the eldest princess of Hanyang." ”

The officials behind him also dismounted and saluted one after another.

Acui lifted the curtain of the car with great eyes, revealing the arrogant face of the eldest princess: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Bo Cang is not harmed?" ”

Wu Yuanheng, whose name is Bocang, great-grandfather Wu Zaide is a cousin of Empress Zetianwu, so he is the great-nephew of Empress Wu. He was talented, became famous at a young age, and was the leader of the imperial examination in the four years of Jianzhong, and his grandfather Dezong admired him very much when he was alive, and repeatedly promoted him to the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, and called him "the instrument of the prime minister".

When the first emperor Shunzong ascended the throne, he favored Wang Shuwen and Liu Zongyuan and others, and it happened that Wu Yuanheng had different political views with them and had personal grievances, so he was degraded to the right concubine of the prince by Shunzong, and went to assist Li Chun, who had just become the prince at that time.
