When I was asleep, I was sent back to the palace by the carriage, and I didn't go to the other courtyard to escape the summer and enjoy the coolness. According to the maid who was assigned by the prince to serve by the prince next to me, the prince Yue personally carried him into the room in front of all the mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law and maids in the house, and everyone did not dare to raise their heads according to the instructions.

Hearing this, I calmly held the tea and asked her: "At that time, was the phoenix bead on my bun and the emerald gold silk step shaken?" ”

The maid looked more calm than me: "The princess's hair was all messed up at that time, how can you see that hairpin." ”

I put down my teacup and replied to her succinctly.

This maid is a Qingqi, since I was carried back to the house by the prince to wake up, she has been ordered to come to my bedside to serve, see me open eyes, very formal to me bowed, said directly: "The princess is well, the slave is about to return, it is the maid sent by the prince to serve and monitor the princess." ”

I was silent for a while, and then I directly ordered, "Bring me a bowl of tea." ”

I lived with this maid for three whole days, and during these three days I was like a prisoner with plenty of food and clothing, giving whatever I wanted, and one day there were two live rabbits sent in by outsiders just for me to play with, but they didn't let me go out, and I couldn't step out of the threshold with half a foot.

The prince never came to see me again.

Ask the maid a sentence, the people who are waiting outside say that the prince is busy with government affairs, and he will come to accompany the princess when he has free time, I threw this question to the general with a little bit of inquiry, and she also answered me truthfully: "The princess is angry with the princess, and the princess thinks carefully about how to offend the princess, so she can coax it." ”

How did you offend? He tossed me half to death and asked me how I had offended him. I was silent for a while, and then I commanded, "Bring a bowl of tea." ”

She took the imperial poetry pile mud purple clay pot on the table, added tea and water directly in her hand, raised a pretty face and said to me: "Clear-eyed people can see the dangerous aura lingering around the prince, if the princess doesn't do some action, the minions of our mansion will be unbearable." ”

I sighed, how can this be coaxed?

Concubine Xian is a wonderful person, since I returned home, every day on the pole to the fixed point to ask for peace, a few days ago the maid woman stopped her outside and did not let in, she made a cold bench outside every day, but I couldn't be picked out of anything wrong, I was tired of talking to the general today, as soon as I heard that Concubine Xian was going to enter the door as usual, I thought about it, and raised my hand to let her in.

Jiang Gui didn't say much more, helped me to sit on the main seat of the main hall, I didn't apply the powder to look at it as if she was sick, she, a peach pink dress, the head jewelry is new and precious, a pretty face is full of joy, I don't know what happy things I get.

When Concubine Xian entered the door, she was a little more restrained, she was first soft and short, and said in her mouth: "Please princess." ”

I deliberately hung her, played with the teacup in my hand, and said, "Seeing the concubine Xian's face showing joy and beauty, I don't know what kind of happy event it is?" ”

I didn't say anything to let her get up, so she didn't get up obediently, maintained an awkward posture of saluting, and could raise her face and smile and talk back to me: "The princess is also very happy about this, our father is conscientious for the country, and yesterday the saint worshiped his father as the secretary of the military department, and he was in charge of a department, isn't it a happy thing for the whole family?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I was stunned for a moment, and the doubts in my heart were already heavy and heavy. However, seeing that Concubine Xian was already a little unstable and crumbling, she waved her hand compassionately first, gave her a seat, and let her get up and rest.

The Tang family dared to hang the sign of Xiangguofu, that was because Tang Chengjue and Tang Xiangguo were actually cabinet scholars, and the noble errand in front of the saint was accompanied by the great dignity of the family being praised by the emperor, and the Tang Mansion could be regarded as deeply favored by the emperor. But up to now, I still haven't heard of any major political events that Tang Chengjue has done for the country, the monarch and the people, but he is famous because he married the daughter of Guanzhong Shengcun.

What is the position of Xiangguo?

Zhang Yi of the Qin State, dismantled and merged the vertical, fixed the horizontal, lifted Zhao to die in Han, and laid the foundation of Qin's great unification; Han Dynasty Han Xin, the backwater war, the siege, the destruction of the overlord, the reputation of the world's unparalleled warriors, the so-called Xiangguo is the backbone of the country, or Wen Tao or Wu Luo, this kind of talent is worthy of the name of the country.

And the Tang family, Tang Chengjue, the position he listed is more like a vain and powerless position, the so-called Xiangguo, the head of civil officials or the respect of military generals? Can you have a student strategist in your hand, and can you have military power in your house? No, it's just that he took on the name of a university scholar for nothing. So what is the difference between him, Xiangguo, and the mascot placed in the court?

The problem is that he is still very favored, even a few years of corpse vegetarian meals did not let him lose the black yarn, and now it is even more terrible, after a few years of Xiangguo and worship the military department Shangshu, the classification is a playful civil official, what is the reason for this emperor to give the military general to the Tang family?

I thought hard and couldn't understand, but the concubine was smiling: "Our Yue Wang Ye is the head of the generals, and the official residence is the minister of the guard, so ordinary, isn't it the relationship between Dashui and the Dragon King Temple?" ”

I replied to her with a smile: "The water washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family can't recognize the family." ”

Concubine Xian didn't pay attention to my sarcastic remarks, but asked me, "The princess still doesn't know?" Because of the Sun family's affairs, the prince was not allowed to be reused in the previous dynasty, and worshiped our father as the secretary of the military department, mainly for the Sun family's case. ”

I pretended to exclaim: "The Sun family's case is just a crime committed by mountain bandits, and now the thieves have not been arrested?" ”

"So the court scolded the prince for doing a bad job."

I slumped my body on the couch, sighed slowly, and said, "Women like us are busy working around, and their minds can't even step out of the threshold of this deep mansion compound. The side concubine has a lot of ability, and she actually inquired about the affairs of the government and the opposition clearly. ”

Concubine Xian said: "The princess is really joking, the prince and the princess were going to go to the countryside to escape the heat, but there was no one to speak in the huge palace, and the concubine was really depressed, so she had to go to her mother's house to beg for suspicion." It is well known that my father loves my mother, my mother was born in Guanzhong Holy Village, and she has a good understanding of the means, and my father also loves to tell my mother about his errands. ”

"That's pretty good," I said to her, "then I'll have to talk to the concubine in the future, and I can listen to some interesting stories from the gentlemen." ”

As soon as the concubine went out, she called someone to come in and wipe the table and sweep the floor, and I felt that the concubine had defiled my noble realm.

I couldn't help but laugh: "It doesn't have to be like this. ”

"There is no need to be like this, the princess does not look at this woman's face," Jiang Gui said angrily, "She is a married woman, what does she look like when she runs to her mother's house every day, is it less of her food or less of her clothes, I don't know, I think our house has treated her badly!" ”

"With legs on other people's bodies, can you still stop them?"

Jianggui continued to scold: "Also, it's just that the old man of the family has been promoted to the title of Shangshu, and he is so happy that he doesn't know the southeast and northwest at this moment?" I have been a slave for more than ten years, and I have never heard of a daughter-in-law who dares to chew the root of her husband's tongue behind her back. ”

"She can't be called chewing the root of the prince's tongue, and the words "It's not good to do a bad job" came out of the emperor's mouth, is it possible that you still have to ask the emperor?" I comforted her and said, "Calm down, where is the prince?" ”

I put on a little makeup and was about to go out, but sure enough, I was stopped by two strong mothers-in-law outside. If they dare to stretch out their hands to stop me, according to my temper, I am not allowed to beat them, but they don't give me any physical contact, seeing that I want to go out, they directly brush and kneel in most of the yard, and a bunch of maids and daughters-in-law lost the broom and rag in their hands, and kowtowed to me directly with tears.

"I want to see the prince."

The mother-in-law standing next to me seemed to be deaf, and raised her face and asked me, "Who is the princess looking for?" ”

"Lord," I repeated twice, "I'm going to look for Lord." ”

The people in the courtyard all got up again, a happy scene of amnesty for the rest of the world's life, I couldn't figure it out, or the mother-in-law explained: "The prince ordered, if the princess insists on coming out, I have to repeatedly make sure that the princess is out to find him." ”

Jiang Gui sighed: "The princess has finally come out." ”

What a prince, what a yard of mothers-in-law who pretend to be confused.

I hated it so much, but I just couldn't scold a word, looking at these innocent-looking subordinates, I took a deep breath and asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

Standing outside, the Phoenix Tour is so dark that it can't be done, the prince really doesn't like to light the lamp, I took out the key from my sleeve pocket but it was useless, the door was not locked at all; I pushed open the door and entered, and at a glance I saw the figure in the darkness, looking up at the top of my head, not knowing what I was thinking.

The prince is deaf and clear-sighted, so he naturally knows that I entered the door, but he doesn't know what he is thinking, so he just doesn't speak out loud. I was not afraid of embarrassment, so I walked straight to his side and saluted, saying, "Say hello to the prince." ”

Prince Yue laughed softly, "The princess can be regarded as coming out." ”

It's not up to you to decide that I can't come out, I pursed my lips and got angry, I didn't dare to show it on my face, and I saluted again: "Thank you, Lord Wang, for raising your noble hand." ”

The prince finally moved his noble body, turned his face to look at me, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

I touched the cold beads hidden in my sleeve, and picked a reason that sounded extremely virtuous and virtuous and replied to him: "Hold the lamp for the prince." ”

"You don't need to hold the lights in the Phoenix Tour, you look up."

It would be an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers in this dark room, it seems that the construction is not tight, and you can seem to see a little light everywhere, but you can't find a light source anywhere, until the prince mentioned it, I didn't see the upper floor of this house.

The seven-storey pavilion beams the stars, the stars are full of stars, the dots are like broken ink, and they embrace the bright moon.

Lord Yue moved the entire starry sky into his library.
