The neighboring building in the west and the Yuyi building in the east are symmetrical, just like a pair of ears in the Lin De Palace.

The furnishings of the room are simple, with a royal chair in the middle, a narrow and long board foot table on each side, and several crescent stools. The most conspicuous thing is the screen behind the royal chair.

The princess walked over, and on the ginger screen, eight colorful flowers and birds were painted. She looked in, and there was a sitting bed in the screen, a low table on the bed, and four drum stools on the floor.

On the day of the birthday, the queen mother accepted the female dependents in the apse, the palace feasted and drank, and the small buildings on the left and right sides were places for rest and private chats, and there was no special arrangement.

"Vice Admiral Yang, what do you say...... On the day of the birthday festival, in addition to the banquet and performance in the palace, what other activities are arranged? ”

"After the feast, there will be a polo match, and maybe the saint will also be out. Just outside the main hall in the square in front of the hall, at that time, the nobles would also go to watch the game. ”

The princess nodded, looked up at Yang Huaixin and asked, "Can I trust you?" ”

Yang Huaixin didn't know the princess's intentions, but he immediately stood up straight and said categorically: "Huaixin swears to be loyal to the Li Celestial Dynasty to death!" ”

"I heard the grapevine and suspected that there would be people making trouble here on Birthday. Despite the suspicions, I hope to ...... You can protect me. ”

The princess's face still has some cute childishness, but her eyes have a mature and determined charm, Yang Huaixin nodded without hesitation.

"These two small buildings must be closely monitored, and no male guests are allowed to enter except my father. If a suspicious person is found, immediately stop the seizure. She paused and said seriously:

"Especially the eldest prince, no matter if he is sober or confused, no matter who sends him over, you must not let him come to the apse."

"The Great Prince? He wants to play polo, how can he ......" He looked at the princess's eyes, didn't ask any more, only said: "Okay." ”

She was in a hurry to find Yang Huaixin, and that was the reason. No one can help him but him.

"Alright! I've seen the sunset, so let's go down. With his word, the princess was much more relaxed.

Yang Huaixin handed back the small cloth bag he was holding in his hand to the princess, and whispered, "Princess, this ...... Thank you. ”

"Haven't you finished eating yet? I brought you something to eat, so you can take it. The princess did not wait for him to answer, and took her skirt and went downstairs.

When they went downhill, the sunset had completely hidden behind the mountain, the twilight flooded the entire Chang'an City, the lights had not yet been lit, and the desire was growing. Everything is ignorant, and everything is unknown.

In Yongxingfang, which was facing Danfeng Street, Yang Xuanyuan was half-lying on a chair and asked the concubine to pinch his legs. The Yang family is a big family among the eunuchs, and there are more than a dozen households living in Yongxingfang.

Back then, Yang Qinyi and Ma Yuanzhen helped King Guang to the throne together, and they made great contributions, and the saint also gave them honor. As his second son, Yang Xuanyuan also achieved the high position of privy envoy in less than two years.

"Huaixin, I heard that you have been very close to the eldest prince and the eldest princess brothers and sisters during this time, why didn't you come back?" Yang Xuanyuan closed his eyes and asked casually.

Yang Huaixin replied honestly:

"It's just a chance encounter, and my son doesn't think it's a big deal. A few days ago, we were practicing in the martial arts arena, and it happened that the eldest prince brother and sister went to shoot arrows, so they said they wanted to join us...... Today, the son patrolled to the Lin De Palace, and the princess said that he would go up...... Looking at the sunset, the son thought it was a trivial matter, so he accompanied her up to have a look. ”

"That's all?"

"My son didn't dare to hide it."

Yang Xuanyuan opened his eyes, looked at this righteous son he cultivated with a sharp eye, and nodded:

"I put you under Ma Yuanzhen's hands so that you can one day take your place, not to let you become his handle against us. The Holy One has been isolating him intentionally or unintentionally, and now he has no rights except for the power of the Divine Army, do you think he is willing? ”

Yang Huaixin lowered his head and looked intently at his toes.

"I got the news that Ma Yuanzhen and Concubine Yuan colluded to make trouble on her birthday, Liu Jieyu is their target, I guess, Concubine Yuan wants to be the mother of the Nine Emperors, and what Ma Yuanzhen wants is an obedient emperor."

Yang Xuanbei waved his hand, and the concubine retreated and closed the door with him.

"It's such a door-to-door opportunity, and we can't afford not to. On your birthday, you happen to be in charge of patrolling outside the palace, you remember, no matter what Ma Yuanzhen and them do, let them go, frame a mere Jieyu, or kill him, we have to sit and wait for him to collude with Concubine Yuan, and then start. ”

Yang Huaixin was taken aback! It turned out that the princess said that there was indeed something to do, but in the princess's words, the eldest prince was also one of the people who were framed. He hurriedly asked:

"Father, Ma Yuanzhen framed Liu Jieyu, who is that man? Could it be a prince or a prince? ”

"What does it matter? We just have to get rid of ourselves. The Holy Lord hates the chamberlain the most for having a personal relationship with the prince and the prince, and once he finds out, he will kick us out without waiting for Ma Yuanzhen to make a move against us. That's why I'm going to remind you tonight, don't get too close to the Great Prince. ”

"Yes...... The son knows. ”

Coming out of his father-in-law's mansion, Yang Huai was confident in his heart. Something was bound to happen on his birthday, but what he should do was not yet clear in his heart.

saved the eldest prince, not only ruined the great event of his father-in-law fighting against Ma Yuanzhen, but also easily bitten by Ma Yuanzhen's old fox that he had a personal relationship with the eldest prince.

Don't save ...... What should I do if I promise the princess?

"Brother Yang, walk well, why are you in a daze?"

Yang Huaixin looked up and saw Xiao Chen in a dark robe, he put his hand on Xiao Chen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiao Fourteen, now that the door is closed, you are still pretending to patrol?" ”

Xiao Chen is a bad person in Wannian County and a friend of Yang Huaixin for many years. Both are about the same age, and they are both adopted orphans.

"It's because the door is not closed that we need to walk more and see more. By the way, I just happened to have something to look for you, our brother is looking for a place to sit? ”

"Tell me to drink again? I don't have the heart to do it today, I'll invite you another day. "Yang Huai has something to do, and he just wants to go back and think about it, what is the best plan.

Xiao Chen was unhappy, and pulled his arm and said, "No, it's better to meet by chance, Sanniang Wine Shop, what I told you today is definitely worth the ten altars of 'Xishi dialect'." ”

Before Yang Huaixin could speak, Xiao Chen had already put his arm under his armpit and ran towards Dongshi without touching the ground.

In the past, Chang'an City had a curfew, and bad people were not only responsible for the security of the door, but also patrolled the streets. Now that the curfew has long since died in name, and the fangmen are no longer forcibly closed, the two cities are more lively at night than during the day.

The management of bad people has also been loosened, and there is no fixed patrol line. There are many people in the east and west markets, and they are prone to trouble after drinking, and they also like to wait for rabbits in these places.

caught two drunken and crazy people in one night, and in the inspection record book, they could hand over the errand.

Xiao Chen sat down in the wine shop, stretched out his hand and beckoned:

"Sanniang, go to the two altars of 'Xishi dialect', don't mix water today, my brother is rich!"
