After the martial arts exercise, Emperor Yongdi Li Yuan asked with a smile: "Changle, what do you think of Xiahou Yuanfeng?" ‘

Princess Changle said lightly: "Not bad. ‘

Li Yuanxi said: "If you take him as the emperor's concubine, what if you are happy?" ‘

Princess Changle said lightly: "Although his person is good, his heart is like water. ‘

Li Yuan said again: "Since you don't like this person, then there are so many civil and military heroes, Changle You can have someone you like." ‘

Princess Changle suddenly burst into tears, stepped forward and bowed: "Father, although the son has to return to the knee of the father, he is still the queen of Southern Chu, and the lord of the country is still alive. ‘

Li Yuan was furious and said, "I am bent on choosing a good son-in-law for you, but you are so stubborn. Standing up angrily, about to reprimand, but saw Princess Changle kneeling on the ground, tears rolling, although Yurong is not as haggard as when she first returned, but still has no youthful young woman due brilliance, Li Yuan sat down dejectedly, and said for a long time: "I shouldn't force you, Emperor, don't worry, I will never embarrass you again." ‘

When this matter reached my ears, somehow, I was a little happy in my heart, Princess Changle is still as virtuous and courteous as I remember, no matter what she does to the lord of the country, but she still fulfills her responsibilities, even if she really remarries in the future, I will not look down on her.

This matter did not subside like this, although Li Yuan temporarily gave up the plan to let Princess Changle remarry, but the others did not give up, Queen Dou and Yan Guifei, Ji Guifei all came to persuade each other, Princess Changle can neither drive them away, but also unwilling to change her mind, on this day, Princess Yong Gao entered the palace, heard about this, and persuaded the eldest Sun Guifei to let the princess live in the Yongwang Mansion for a few days, and wait until the fifteenth to return to the palace.

The eldest grandson did not agree immediately, she glanced at the Gao family hesitantly, there are some things that only she knows, the matter of Princess Changle is that others don't ask, she also has to ask, then back to the palace, she asked the palace maid around her, but pay attention to who the princess pays more attention to, to her surprise, the palace maid Lu'e replied: "The princess is always cold and indifferent, but when King Yong came, the slave saw the princess looking at the man next to King Yong, and smiled very happily, but in a blink of an eye it was the same as usual. 'The eldest grandson and concubine know who that person is, Jiang Zhejiang Suiyun, if he goes to Cuiluan Palace, he often sees his daughter holding a scroll of poems, which is full of Jiang Zhe's poems, some of which are his daughter's handwriting, and some of them are the handwriting of a stranger, he once asked, but Jiang Zhe sent it into the palace when he was in Southern Chu, it turned out that the person he liked was actually the minister of Southern Chu, but he once interrogated the maid who served his daughter, and said that his daughter abided by the rules of the women's palace in Southern Chu, and never violated etiquette. Those poems were also sent to the palace after Liang Wan asked Jiang Zhe, and he only said that his daughter liked that person's poems, and now it seems that my daughter has long been in her heart, but she didn't show it because of her identity in the past, of course, it may be that her daughter didn't have this mind, and now when she mentions the matter of choosing a son-in-law, she has this idea. If you let your daughter go to King Yong's mansion, maybe you can let your daughter meet that person.

But the eldest grandson Guifei frowned, if it is a Dayong person, no matter how humble the position is, as long as the character is good and her daughter likes it, she doesn't care, but that person is a minister of Southern Chu, even if her daughter is willing, that person may not agree, after all, her daughter was the queen of Southern Chu, after thinking about it, the eldest grandson Guifei said in her heart, no matter what, her daughter went to Yongwang's Mansion, she will definitely be able to distract herself, as for her intentions, I will also explore it, and make up her mind, and the eldest grandson Guifei said: "Changle is good to go to your place to play, Lu'e, you have always been cautious, Follow the princess too, and if the princess has anything, let you come back and tell you. She made up her mind to let Lu'e secretly pay attention to Changle's behavior and actions, so as to see what her daughter's mind was.

Princess Changle is also very happy to leave the palace for a while, to the Yongwang Mansion, the princess accompanied the princess to the garden to play, the garden of the palace is divided into the inner garden and the outer garden from the lake, separated by flowers and trees, Yongdao, etc., there is no very clear boundary, but the inside and outside are clear, the sky is clear today, in the pavilion in the garden of the inner house, the princess ordered people to put on the fruit, let the slave maid take the son Li Jun and the two daughters and Roulan together, frolicking outside the pavilion, and he took the two side concubines to accompany the princess to watch in the pavilion, Not far away is the lake, at this time the weather is sunny, the lake water is clear, as clear as jasper, a few children laughing and playing, very innocent and interesting, Princess Changle looked at it for a while, felt very happy, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, I remember that when I left, Brother Wang had no children, and I didn't think that now I have a son and three daughters." ‘

The princess smiled and said, "The princess guessed wrong, your brother and sister are difficult, except for Jun'er, there are only two daughters, the youngest is called Roulan, and she is the daughter of Jiang Zhejiang Sima. ‘

Princess Changle's hand trembled, and she said in a cold voice, "Oh, is Jiang Sima already married? ‘

The princess did not notice the princess's uneasiness, and said: "This is Jiang Sima's daughter, very cute, I heard the prince say that Sima is alone, worried that he will not be able to take care of his daughter, so he sent to the back house for me to take care of, I told the prince that Jiang Sima is twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he should marry a wife, but the prince said that Jiang Sima is unwilling, as if it is because of the unfortunate death of his former fiancée, alas, such an infatuated man is really rare." ‘

Princess Changle was sad in her heart, but she was faintly happy, and when she thought about it, it was impossible for herself to be with this person, although it seemed that she was free and easy from this person's poems, but it seemed that she was not a deviant person, and if she wanted this person to do something like a minister's wife, I am afraid it would be impossible. Thinking of this, Princess Changle is even more sad, this man who he loves silently, but he has no fate with himself, remembering that when he read his poems and texts, he admired his talent in his heart, and Liang Wan led him to meet him, and he was even more fond of him, but the monarch and the minister were different, and he never dared to show the slightest thought, and then he was belittled, and he was secretly happy, thinking that he didn't have to worry about being convicted by Dayong after the fall of Southern Chu, and he didn't think that he was still captured by Brother Wang and brought back to Dayong, and he was worried all the way, worried that he would not surrender, was executed by Brother Wang, and now he has become Dayong's courtier, and he is worried that he will be affected by the second brother Wang, but no matter what his thoughts are, it is impossible to combine with him after all, and he can't even show his affection for him. Thinking of this, Princess Changle reluctantly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, bring Roulan over and let me take a look." ‘

The princess let people take Roulan, Princess Changle looked at this little girl, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she couldn't help but hold her in her arms, Roulan had not yet learned to walk, she had been playing on the felt carpet under the tree just now, seeing the beautiful and elegant Princess Changle, she curiously stretched out her hand to grab the princess's bun, and suddenly messed up Princess Changle's green silk, but Princess Changle was not angry, but laughed, and continued to tease the cute little girl. Her laughter made the princess very happy, but Lu'e, who was standing on the side, understood the princess's thoughts.

Just when everyone is happy, across the clear lake, there is a faint sound of music in the distance, the sound is not silky and bamboo, but it is moving, this is a popular song in Southern Chu, every year, it is the time to enjoy the plum together, you can always hear this song, this song is called "Hanmei" Although it is just a simple and cheerful tune, and the person who plays it has no skills, but it sounds like a blue sky, the cold plum blooms, and the heart is open. Princess Changle listened attentively, and after a while, the song stopped, and she muttered: "Is it Jiang Sima, is he missing Nan Chu?" ‘

The princess's heart moved, looked at the princess, and said, "It's Jiang Sima who is playing the music, I don't know what kind of musical instrument it is?" But I always feel that the sound is very ancient. My sister is in a good hurry today, it should be Jiang Sima enjoying the scenery in Linbo Pavilion. In his spare time, this Jiang Sima goes to the lake from time to time to enjoy the scenery, that is, he reads books and plays chess in the guest house, which is very comfortable, but he is not as busy as other staff members. At this time, a young man in Tsing Yi walked in the distance, but he was weak and old, and his appearance was delicate, but with a hint of femininity, and those maids recognized him, so he did not stop him, and the young man walked to the front of the pavilion and said respectfully: "Princess, my son-in-law asked the slave to pick up Miss Roulan." ‘

The princess was about to agree, glanced at the princess, and suddenly said: "Mr. Jiang is too polite, he has been in the palace for a long time, he doesn't have to be so restrained, now the princess is here, she likes soft blue very much, and she is reluctant to let go, if you don't see outside, let Mr. Jiang come over, the prince will come over soon, and it won't be in the way." ‘

Xiao Shunzi was stunned for a moment, looked at the princess and princess, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she still said: "The slave obeys." ‘

At this time, Li Zhen, the king of Yong, came from afar, saw Xiao Shunzi, and asked with a smile: "Why, come to pick up Roulan again, your master will come to coax his daughter whenever he has free time." ‘

Xiao Shunzi said: "Your Royal Highness, the princess said that the princess likes Miss, let the princess not see outside, come over once." ‘

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, but he believed that the princess must have her own plans, so he said: "That's right, go and invite your son-in-law to come over." ‘

Xiao Shunzi was even more surprised, his eyes quickly turned around, but he didn't see anything abnormal, at this time, his eyes fell on the princess, only to see the princess holding Roulan, smiling, and couldn't help but move in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was cranky. But he no longer hesitated, and hurried back to Linbo Pavilion.

I was drinking with Gou Lian in Linbo Pavilion, and when I saw Xiao Shunzi, I smiled and said, "Roulan, why didn't you bring it over, Brother Gou still wants to see my good daughter?" ‘

Xiao Shunzi said: "Today, Princess Changle went to the palace to relax, I like Miss very much, and I refuse to let go, the princess said, the son is not an outsider, if the son is willing, you might as well go over, the prince is also there." ‘

I frowned and said, "That's not good, forget it, let's go another day." ‘

Gou Lian listened, but said: "Suiyun, since the princess has already said this, you should go for a trip, otherwise the princess will blame you." ‘

I thought about it, too, if the princess didn't say it, it's fine, if I said it's really bad if I don't go, look at Xiao Shunzi, he is also nodding. Then he said to Gou Lian: "Then I'll go, Brother Gou should drink a few more cups." Gou Lian smiled and waved his hand: "You go quickly, Brother Dong will come in a while, and I will explain it to him for you." ‘

Li Zhen sat down, looked at Princess Changle, and said with a smile: "Changle, it's right for you to come out for a walk, the palace is very dull, if you like it, you will often come and walk in the future." ‘

At this time, Roulan suddenly struggled, as if she was in a hurry to play, Princess Changle smiled slightly, handed her to the maid, asked the maid to carry her back, and said with a smile: "Actually, the palace is not dull, I saw a few younger brothers and sisters who were born after I left, they are all cute, but the rules in the palace are too strict, not as easy as outside, Brother Wang, I heard that Jun'er is going to Youzhou, such a young child will leave his parents, and Brother Wang is too ruthless." ‘

Li Zhen smiled and said: "This is no way, Jun'er is the son of King Yong, he has his responsibilities to fulfill, Changle, don't feel sorry for him, our royal people, how many of them can be independent." ‘

Princess Changle's eyes were a little gloomy, and she was about to speak, when a young man walked in the distance, he was dressed in a moon-white Confucian shirt, and that kind of carefree look made people feel happy and happy when they saw it, and the young man in Tsing Yi who followed him was like his shadow, obviously under the sun, but people turned a blind eye. The eyes of the people were focused on this master and servant, as if they also felt the pleasure in their hearts.

When I got closer, I stepped forward and saluted, saying, 'Your Highness, the princess and the princess. ‘

Li Zhen smiled and said: "It's okay to be idle today, don't be rigid with the clouds, let's sit down together." ‘

My eyes swept over the princess and I smiled, 'Excuse me, should I call the princess or the princess?' ‘

Princess Changle bowed and said, "Lord Jiang, this palace knows that I can't afford to Nan Chu, so please forgive me." ‘

I didn't have any resentment against her, but when I saw her like this, I also reciprocated and said: 'Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, whether Your Highness is the queen of the past or the princess of today, he is always the king of the minister, and the minister must be respectful, so there is a reason for resentment. ‘

When Princess Changle saw that I was very sincere, she was overjoyed in her heart, and she smiled, and this smile was like a spring flower blooming, and immediately added a little light.

When Li Zhen saw it, his heart moved, could it be that the princess meant--just as he was thinking nonsense, I had already saluted and said: "Today, His Royal Highness and the princess are entertaining the princess, and the ministers are not good to disturb, so I will leave, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me." After that, without waiting for them to agree, he motioned for Xiao Shunzi to hug Roulan, and was about to turn around and leave.

Li Zhen was just about to stay, but he saw a palace maid watching here, so he swallowed his words back, looking at Jiang Zhe's back, Princess Changle was happy and worried in her heart, and now she finally learned that he didn't blame herself, although she was happy, but thinking that from now on, she was locked in the deep palace and never had the opportunity to see each other again, and she was very sad, he said it was right, he and he were always monarchs and ministers, and it was impossible. is grieving, but thinks that she is still a married woman, how can she be in love with other men, so she forces her face to smile, so that others will not see the flaws. It's just that King Yong and Princess Yong are both careful people, and they can't see any clues. The princess just returned it, but Li Zhen fell into deep thought, according to his understanding, he was afraid that Jiang Zhe would never agree to this marriage, and I am afraid that no one would approve, no wonder Princess Changle never revealed a word, presumably even Jiang Zhe himself did not know that the princess was in love with him. Don't talk about others, even you won't agree, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid that the prince will be embarrassed, and if they are instigated in front of their father, Jiang Zhe is only afraid that his surname will be difficult to protect at that time. If Zhao Jia also passed away after he ascended the throne, is it possible? The more Li Zhen thought about it, the more he had a headache, the minister's wife, that was a crime, although Jiang Zhe had already returned to Dayong, but if he was allowed to marry the queen, unless Jiang Zhe completely disregarded his reputation, this was probably impossible.

He thought so much, the princess had another opinion, she thought to herself, if she could marry the princess to Jiang Zhe, then Jiang Zhe would be her own person, she knew that her husband attached great importance to Jiang Zhe, and had racked his brains to convince him, and in the end she didn't know how Jiang Zhe was obedient, but she knew that her husband had a hard night because of this, if she could contribute to this, then her husband would have an extra arm, and the princess would also have a lifelong trust, she relied on the sensitivity of her surname, The young man, who now respectfully proclaimed himself in front of his husband, actually had a temperament that was beyond the world, and if he did not grasp it tightly, he would one day fly away, and in that case, he might make his husband restless again.

I didn't notice what was happening, and I hugged Roulan, and I said to Junko, 'Do you think I should marry a wife and take care of Roulan.' ‘

Xiao Shunzi said lightly: "If the son wants to marry a wife, it is a good thing, but what if you marry a wife you don't like, if you have someone you like, of course it's good, if not, don't force it, Miss Roulan is not no one to take care of." ‘

I smiled and said, 'Where in the world is there a woman like Piaoxiang, and it is nothing if I want to marry an ordinary virtuous woman, but you have a point, if the words are tasteless, it is really painful, that's it, that's it.' ‘

Xiao Shunzi suddenly said, "What does Childe think of the princess?" ‘

I was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, Her Royal Highness the princess has a noble status, and she used to be the mother of the country, how can I think of her differently, if it spreads, wouldn't it be a joke, now there are several horse candidates there, but I am afraid that the princess has not returned to Nanchu, and the princess's horse candidate will be decided." Alas. I sighed and said, "Actually, I am most optimistic about Wei Ying, who will definitely be able to make the princess happy." ‘

Xiao Shunzi pursed his lips and didn't speak, he was too lazy to talk to this master who was very confused about the little things around him, but he thought with a heavy face, he must pay attention to this matter, the princess has affection for the child, this matter can be big or small, if someone hates the son because of this, it will endanger the safety of the child, and if the princess is closer to the princess, I am afraid there will be trouble, thinking of this, he can't help but regret the promise that the princess will let the princess go, he knows that women usually have a sense beyond reason, She used to be very close to the princess at the beginning, and if she saw through it and said that she was the one who kidnapped her, she was afraid that the son would be in danger. Alas, it was so negligent that I didn't expect to see the princess again.
