Nine days before King Yu's wedding

Since the marriage of King Yu was confirmed, the palace of King Yu has been in full swing, and all kinds of imperial relatives, civil officials and military generals have been sent to it, and Emperor Liang's rewards have been continuously sent into the house, but fortunately, the wing room where Xuan Shaoning is located has not been polluted by the noise in the most remote corner of the house.

It has been more than half a month since he returned to Beijing, and he finally got free after a series of various entertainments, and even Rouge returned to Mobei with the Xuanjia Army, and Xuan Shaoning was once again left by King Yu as before, but he couldn't help at all with this royal wedding, the only thing he could do was to disturb as little as possible, but Xuan Shaoning instinctively felt that King Yu was not as happy as ordinary people but had some melancholy. Opening the side door of the palace, Xuan Shaoning quietly came to the street and walked towards Leng Yuezhai.

"Your heroic performance in the battle to exterminate Hu has spread all over the capital, and you are a great glory for me Leng Yuezhai!"

"Wantong, don't make fun of me."

"King Yu is married, and the master will come!"

"Oh?" Xuan Shaoning's eyes widened, "Really?" ”

"Do you think I'm someone like Xiao Moyan? This is what Senior Brother Ye Kai told me personally. ”

"That's great!" I have been thinking about the master in my heart, although I plan to take the time to go back to Qingshan Academy to have a look, but I have repeatedly delayed, this time I really want to apologize to the master, "By the way, what about the silent words?" ”

"Like Ke Ran, they are all preparing for the marriage of His Royal Highness King Yu!" Qi Wantong quipped, "It's you, as the deputy general of King Yu, you are so empty." ”

Xuan Shaoning shook his head and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I can't figure out why His Highness kept me by my side, I really can't help anything." ”

"Some people don't feel at ease because they can help, but just because they're around." Qi Wantong's seemingly unintentional words inadvertently touched Xuan Shaoning, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his chaotic thoughts, is he really so important to King Yu?

Seeing Xuan Shaoning stunned, Qi Wantong shook his hand vigorously in front of him, and reminded: "You may be able to find an opportunity to remind King Yu that Tang will send the princess and relatives at the juncture that Liang has just won, and the deep meaning of this must not be overlooked." ”

"What? Do you think there is something wrong with this wedding? Xuan Shaoning was quite surprised.

"It's not that I think so, but Senior Brother Ye Kai mentioned it when he came to me before, and it was the suspicion that they and the master came up with after analyzing the information, so since then I have also asked the singers to pay attention."

"What's the catch?"

Qi Wantong shook his head, "The master has always been cautious in doing things, and if you come today, I will convey it, after all, compared to several other princes, I also think that King Yu is the most suitable candidate for the throne."

Eight days before King Yu's wedding

The southwest border of Daliang, the god killing barracks, the head of Jinchang City, the more than fifty years old Tai Guizong stands far away, Jinchang City is fifty miles south of the Tang Dynasty, he as a Qianwei general led the command of the god to kill the cavalry to guard the southwest has been more than ten years, and his Tai family has been living in this land for more than 100 years, to his generation is already the seventh generation.

The Tai family rose as a non-official eunuch family in the Tang Dynasty a hundred years ago, after the war, the ancestors of the Tai Dynasty stayed in the southwest as a soldier on the border, and his descendants with military merits step by step to build the family into the first family in the southwest today, like the southwest Tusi, even if the southwest county guards the patriarch of the Tai to give three points, the general of the three products of the Tai Tai has been the most prominent in the family, but what really makes his status unshakable is that his daughter married the current prince and became the princess, What an honor it is to make the Tantai family a relative of the emperor! This is the time when the Tai family is closest to power for more than a hundred years, once upon a time, the Tai Guizong was ambitious, but just before the tenth month, the news came from the capital: the prince was grounded, so the Tai Guizong used all the connections between the DPRK and China to help secretly, originally saw that the turning point was coming, who knew that after the King of Yu won the battle and came back, Emperor Liang became more and more disgusted with the prince, and the prince's situation took a sharp turn, and even the letter from the baby daughter had not been received for half a month.

Ay....... Lantai Guizong sighed deeply, what made him suffer the most at this moment was no longer the threat of the Tang Dynasty but the status of the crown prince, which was directly connected to the fate of the family, but he had not received a letter from his daughter Tantai Xiru for half a month. Tai Guizong is six feet tall, and his perennial battlefield battles have trained him with tiger arms and bee waist, huge fists and bearded physique, and the facial features on a red face are also as rough as the physique, and the enlarged version of the Ziqi armor wraps the body to show the demeanor of the military general to the fullest.

"General, there's a letter from the capital!" A guard presented a gray carrier pigeon, and the Tai Guizong only glanced at it and could tell that this was not the Chu Nan carrier pigeon that the Tai family was accustomed to, although he was puzzled, but when he heard that it was from the capital, he immediately took the carrier pigeon and untied the small copper pipe from the claws, and if he looked closely, he could find that the copper pipe was engraved with the word "Ling".

"Go down!" After the guards walked away, Tai Guizong carefully opened the copper pipe and threw out the letter that was only the thickness of a silver needle, and unfolded it: King Yu is powerful, the crown prince is in danger, and Xiru is okay for the time being. Holding the note into his hand, Tai Guizong began to think, this copper pipe is not visible to the people, but is the Shang workshop for the royal forging of yellow tungsten iron, and the lettering shows that the letter comes from the King of Ling, the meaning of the letter of the King of Ling is very clear, the strong rise of the King of Yu has threatened the position of the prince's East Palace, and Xiru is temporarily fine under the protection of the King of Ling.

Combined with the information he has in the past year, he agrees with the opinion of King Ling, after recovering Yinzhou and exterminating Donghu, King Yu has won the love of Emperor Liang, while the prince has been grounded for more than a month because of misbehavior. Emperor Liang accepted the peace of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to hold a grand wedding for King Yu in person, join the title of Prince Wuzhu of King Yu, and one day replace the crown prince is not alarmist! If that day really comes, Xiru's fate can be imagined, and although the Tantai family will not be implicated immediately, it is impossible to maintain its current status.

No way! Absolutely not! It took the ancestors more than 100 years to get the status and power of the current family, and they must not be interrupted in their own hands! The nervous chest of the Emperor Tai Guizong rose and fell, and after thinking about it, his family had never had much contact with the King of Ling, why did the King of Ling help this time? By the way, he is also coveting the throne! However, King Ling is different from King Xiang and King Yu, he has no foundation in the army, and this time he wants to sell a big favor to the Tai family to lay the foundation for the future, hum, a good calculation! However, his power in the court is not very strong, and if he wants to help the prince suppress King Yu, he really has to rely on another prince.

In just a stick of incense, Shantai Guizong has already thought clearly about this game of chess, he must keep the position of the prince's East Palace, he must save Xiru's life, and he must maintain the glory of the Tangtai family, he can only choose to cooperate with King Ling to deal with the common enemy.

"Xiru, you must hold on! Father will do his best to help you tide over the difficulties and keep your position as the crown princess, you are the queen of the future Liang! ”

Seven days before King Yu's wedding

"Bold! Retreat, who dares to stop this palace! Xi Ru roared at a group of attendants who were blocking the Hanliang Hall in the East Palace: "This palace is the crown princess, and now there is nothing to eat in the palace, who gave you the courage to starve the prince to death!" This palace is going to meet Your Majesty now, and if you dare to stop it, you will be killed immediately! ”

Xiru kicked over several attendants kneeling at her feet, struggling to lift the deadbolt, but immediately more attendants swarmed in front of the door, neither fighting back nor talking, just kneeling in a black pressure, Xiru and the maiden couldn't open the palace door no matter how hard she tried. In a fit of rage, Xiru raised her hand and slapped the attendants, but no matter how she beat them, until her palms were numb from pain, the attendants still didn't move.

"You guys!" Xiru was anxious and angry, tears had begun to roll in her eyes, but when she turned around, she only saw her husband sitting on the threshold, the husband who was disheveled and tear-stained and leaned against the door and cried to herself. Xiru has always understood that her husband is not a manly person, but for the status of the family, she can only settle and slowly train herself into what she is today, at this moment she hopes that her husband can stand behind her, even if it is a word of comfort, even if it is to hug herself, she feels that she is not alone.

Xiru raised her head and tried to force her tears back, she couldn't give up! She is shouldering the fate of the Tantai family, and she must not give up lightly!

"Xiru .......," the prince spoke, his voice low with fear that he couldn't hide, "I'm hungry....... Xiru ......."

Xiru withdrew her looking up head and raised hand, calmly walked past the kneeling chamberlain and came to the prince's side, slowly squatted down, smiled, and said softly: "Your Highness, you are His Royal Highness the Prince, don't cry in front of these subordinates." The concubine will go to the dining room to make some food for His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will return to the palace first, and after the meal is finished, the concubine will serve His Royal Highness to tidy up his clothes, okay? ”

The prince nodded aggrievedly, Xiru stood up again, and walked towards the dining room, a place that she rarely went to before now she had to go several times a day, but she knew that there was nothing to eat there.

Standing at the door of the dining room, Xiru looked at the messy dining room that had been turned over, and the pain in her heart surged up again.

"Niangniang, slave maid see Niangniang!"

Xiru turned around and saw a very faceless maid saluting herself, and the anger in her heart ignited again, "How is it?" The main palace can't even enter the dining room in its own palace! ”

"Mother's anger!" The maid suddenly raised her head, "Niangniang, the slave maid was sent by General Tangtai." ”

What the! For a moment, Xiru thought that she had misheard, she had been cut off from outside the palace for half a month, and now her father actually sent someone in?

"Don't worry, this is the food that the slave and maid smuggled in." The maid took off a burden from behind her back and handed it to Xiru and said: "The general wants the slave and maid to take care of the mother, and the general wants the slave and maid to tell the slave and maid, 'The crescent moon must hold on, and the father must find a way, and he must take care of his body!'" ’”

Xiru, who was still a little skeptical, completely removed the last line of defense in her heart, Crescent Moon! Yes, the crescent moon is his own milk name, which was given to him by his father, and his father once said that he was like the bright moon in the southwest, and the most beautiful time in Xuanyue, this milk name is only known to the closest people in the Tai Mansion!

"Father!"

"Niangniang, it's not easy for slaves and maids to get into the palace, and there are not many things that can be brought, these foods are enough for Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to eat for a few days, and then the slaves and maids will come again."

Xiru took the package, and before she could open it, she looked around to make sure that no one else was there, and then whispered: "You leave quickly, next time you come back will be here, we will apply for it in about three days." ”

"Yes, slave remember!" The maid saluted and quickly withdrew from Xiru's sight. Xiru hugged the package in her arms and once again gave birth to courage and confidence.
