Not long after Rong Xu's family was convicted, the family accepted Xiao Nanyin as a concubine before they left, and begged the prince Rong Zhao, who was transferred by the prince, and finally the family was exiled to the jurisdiction of King Yu, Rong Xu made money again, moved the Xiao family to the nearest military office from the eastern capital, and exempted the Xiao family from servitude, promoted Xiao's father to the supervisor of the military office, and placed a courtyard in the county, and the brother was also studying.

"You're going today?" The new moon glanced at the hour, and now goes, and will stay overnight.

"Yes" Xiao Nanyin didn't feel anything wrong.

Crescent Moon looked at her, wondering if she had come here early in the morning.

"Let's go" Xinyue still has something to do today, and she really doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of King Yu's mansion anymore, so she didn't pursue Xiao Nanyin anymore and didn't say hello to herself, so she privately set a time to leave the mansion.

"One more thing"

"What?" Seeing that the porridge was almost cold, Xinyue picked up the spoon and prepared to eat her own breakfast.

"The little prince is also going with him."

"Yes, I see." Xinyue didn't react, and what she cared about most was a meeting with King Yu in a while.

"The concubine wants to take that fight..."

"Since the little prince is also going with him, let someone set up the double-frame paulownia carriage, the journey is fifty miles back and forth, and in that big carriage, the little prince can also rest and rest."

"Yes" Xinyue said so, Xiao Nanyin, who had originally planned to do so, naturally had nothing to say, and retreated.

"Madam, the double-frame carriage is a carriage that can only be ridden by the wife. The paulownia carriage in the house was made by the princess at the time, and the prince and the lady have never taken it a few times, you, you are..."Fei'er is worthy of being taught by the grandmother next to Princess Yu, and the vehicles in the house are very clear about the behavior of every grass and tree. If you still want to survive in this Yuwang Mansion, this Fei'er is a usable talent, but Xinyue pinned the broken hair in front of her ears behind her ears.

However, I don't want to stay here any longer.

"I haven't ridden once." Xinyue began to eat her own breakfast, full of white porridge, with refreshing melon vegetables, and after a while, she finished her breakfast.

"Madame, do you have a good appetite today?" Feng'er was also indignant when she heard Fei'er say this, but she saw that Xinyue had eaten a lot of breakfast, and she didn't think that her mood was disturbed by anything.

"It's not early, call a sedan chair, don't let the prince wait." Xinyue rinsed her mouth and slowly stood up from the dining table, and Fei'er immediately went out to call a sedan chair.

Xinyue didn't want to take a sedan chair to the main courtyard, but she thought that because Xiao Nanyin had wasted time and had an injury on her forehead, the road to the main courtyard was really not close, so why bother walking over.

The crescent moon came out of the courtyard, and the palanquin driver was waiting for the sedan chair, and the crescent moon bent down and sat in the sedan chair. Feng'er handed Crescent Moon a felt sleeve warmer and dropped the curtain.

Crescent puts her hand in the warm sleeve and places it between her knees. was about to close his eyes and squint slightly for a while, but Feng'er leaned over and said through the curtain, "Madam, the little prince is coming this way." ”

"Well, let's keep walking." As soon as the words fell, the sedan chair stopped, and the sedan chair driver bowed to Rong Xu.

Feng'er opened the sedan curtain, and the new moon was about to rise, but was stopped by Rong Xu with a gesture to "sit"

"Yes" At this time, he was about to go out of the backyard, and when he arrived at the bridge connecting the two courtyards, Xinyue didn't quite understand why he came back here to find himself.

I saw that Rong Xu was wearing a pitch-black suede cloak and boots on his feet that were easy to ride a horse, and he looked like he was going out, why was he here?

Thinking so, Xinyue looked at the direction of Rong Xu's coming again, and should have just come out of King Yu's courtyard.

"You're going to see your grandfather?"

Crescent Moon nodded "yes"

"Grandfather already knows what you told me yesterday" Rong Xu's expression was unhappy, and it seemed that he had been reprimanded by King Yu.

The concubine thought, the prince called the concubine over this time, and he should have said the same thing. After all, you and I must indeed get the consent of the prince. Crescent Moon glanced at the main house on the other side of the bridge, and the stone on the side of the corner of the bridge, on which Crescent had fallen that day and fainted.

Rong Xu followed Xinyue's gaze and looked in the direction she was looking, then looked away, and said a little unnaturally, "What are you angry about?" ”

The new moon was sitting, Rong Xu bent over, one hand on the edge of the sedan chair, lowered his head, and condescendingly talked to the new moon in the sedan chair.

Xinyue raised her head and said to Rong Xu, "You should be a concubine, but you must do everything I told you." Let's go. As he spoke, the new moon ripped off the sedan curtain.

The sedan chair started again, and Feng'er asked, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Crescent looked at the tears that flowed from her warm sleeves, hummed, and said for a moment, "He always looked at what I said lightly than cotton." ”

"Madame..." Feng'er wanted to open the curtain, but the sedan chair stopped, and Xinyue didn't sit in the sedan chair for long, bent down and lifted the curtain by herself and walked out.

"Madam..."Without waiting for Feng'er to help, Xinyue had already walked into the main courtyard where King Yu lived.

The whole palace of the king of Yu is divided into four parts, the east and west, the north and the south, the king of Yu lives in the main courtyard in the north, after the death of the princess of Yu, the huge courtyard, only a Taoist temple where the incense is not dispersed, some people are popular, the other houses, are tightly locked with an iron lock, no one is allowed to clean. In the courtyard, except for the old man in front of King Yu and the princess, there was no one left.

As soon as the crescent moon stepped into the door of the north courtyard, Baoding burned incense, and the three-story building along the shape of the four was standing in the courtyard, and the crescent moon looked up and looked at a plaque hanging on the door of the palace, with the word "Jiangguan" written on it.

Da Mama stood at the door of the hall and waited for the new moon, and the new moon nodded slightly, "Mama, please pass it on." ”

"Madame can go in directly, the prince is already in the palace." Da Mama pushed the door open for the new moon, and the back of King Yu was behind the door.

Xinyue walked into the hall a few steps, and Feng'er was stopped by Da Mama, in addition to the daily cleaning of the palace, King Yu did not allow any servants to enter, not even Da Mama.

"Ask Wang Ye'an" said, Xinyue bent her knees and saluted King Yu.

"Well, get up." King Yu with his back to the crescent moon, standing in front of the long table in front of the temple to place tribute, behind the long table, three statues of gods more than one person high are enshrined, incense is burned in the hall, flowers are offered.

King Yu's head was not crowned, and his gray hair was wrapped in a pale turban, and the wooden hairpin was fixed. The first month of the year is also a cold winter, he only wears a cotton linen robe, the length of the robe is knee-length, the sleeves of the robe are wide, hanging down to the side, the trouser legs are tied up with cloth wisps, and his feet are on the clouds. This outfit doesn't look like a prince who has a fiefdom for thousands of miles and is good at fighting and commanding troops, but a Taoist priest who is beyond the world and cultivates hard.

"No" King Yu did not look back, he could see the new moon holding incense and wanted to worship the gods of the three Qing" clay sculptures, why worship. ”

"Yes" Xinyue didn't ask much, but put the incense pillar she had just picked up back and waited for King Yu to speak.

"Do you know why the king called you?" King Yu's voice was strong, and his gestures were even more aristocratic.

"Granddaughter-in-law doesn't know" Xinyue put her hands in front of her abdomen, lowered her head, and stood respectfully.

"You say, you want to reconcile with Rong Xu?" King Yu is worthy of being the commander of the army, and his tone is slightly raised, and he is full of oppression and shocks the new moon.

The crescent moon lowered its head deeper, but said without fear in language, "Yes, please allow me, my lord." ”

"You're so bold, and as a woman, you're really bold."

"Please also ask the prince for permission." As she spoke, Xinyue leaned down and knelt down, "Although the granddaughter-in-law has empty courage, her courage is useless. This matter, the granddaughter-in-law understands that only the little prince and the granddaughter-in-law, the two of us want to do this, but in fact, we can't. It's up to you to decide. ”

"You can see clearly, yes, momentary courage is of little use, and besides, this king will not agree to your peace. Your brother doesn't look like the one who will let you go back. King Yu's words are simply to the point.

After the death of her parents, Xinyue was taken care of by her aunt and the Queen Mother, and she grew up with all kinds of care, while Xinyue's brother Xu Xinkang lived alone in the original Hou Mansion after inheriting the title.

The brother and sister will only meet in a hurry during the banquet in the palace every year, and the relationship between the two is not an exaggeration.

Xu Xinkang is one person younger, carrying the Xu family, a gate lord who has the merit of founding the country and has been loyal to the martyrs for generations, joined the army at the age of fourteen, and is now under the command of the Western Border Defenders, serving as the general of Yinfeng, commanding 50,000 troops. And the cold wind of Biansai over the years has made his character cold and stubborn, and he can't tolerate anything that insults the door.

If the matter of Xinyue and Rong Xu's reconciliation and separation was spread to Jinling, Xu Xinkang was afraid that he would immediately carry a long sword and come to the door to kill Xinyue, and he would not allow her to do such a thing.

But in this matter, Xinyue has long had a plan, "After the granddaughter-in-law and the little prince reconcile, they will not return to their own family to live." When my mother-in-law was alive, I bought a village on the outskirts of Jinling, which was originally used for the world... The father-in-law used to recuperate, but because the father-in-law passed away, it has not been effective. When the granddaughter-in-law returns home, she will live in that village. ”

"What about the Queen Mother?" The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles, and King Yu now has to figure out all the plans of the new moon before he can make the next step.

"Queen Mother, I will agree." Xinyue was still kneeling on the ground, and at this time, she saw her eyes cold, looking at the clay statue on the high platform.

"You, your aunt, and your daughter of the Xu family are all so insightful and thoughtful. also looks weak on the surface, but in fact, inside, the heart is as hard as iron. King Yu stretched out his hand, picked up a silk flower on the side of the table, and played with it in his hand, "It is the same as this flower, no matter how similar it looks, it is also a bone made of wood, which is stronger than a real flower." This king is boasting to you. ”

Although King Yu has always turned his back to the new moon, he can always feel the changes in the new moon's expression and heart, just like now, the new moon wanted to defend his aunt together, so he was the first to be informed by King Yu.

"Please also ask the prince to decide." The crescent moon fell to the ground and begged King Yu to give him an answer.

"Little Xu's" King Yu has always called Xinyue's aunt Xu's, and Xinyue is naturally Xiao Xu's.

But when he said this, he was not saying it to Xinyue, but saying to himself, "Do you know how important you are to the Yuwang Mansion?" ”

"The granddaughter-in-law knows, and the mother-in-law told the granddaughter-in-law." Speaking of this, Xinyue's eyes were closed, and her teeth were tight, "Daughter-in-law, it's from the Yuwang Mansion, a life talisman." ”

"Since you understand, why do you need to ask this king, how can you get out of this palace of King Yu."

"I beg the prince to have mercy." The crescent moon lowered her body again and said loudly.

"This king, the first king of Yu, the younger brother of the first emperor, and the uncle of His Majesty today, was deeply respected in the first emperor's dynasty, commanding 300,000 troops, and never had half of the suspicion of the first emperor. But now Your Majesty can't do it, he, he is..."Speaking of this, King Yu looked up at the statue of Sanqingzun, and continued, "He is the son of a palace maid"

"Prince" Xinyue didn't expect to be able to say such a thing in the mouth of King Yu.

"You are also the descendant of that palace maid" King Yu glanced at Xinyue, this was the first time that King Yu looked at her after Xinyue came in.

His Majesty is the uncle of the new moon. The first emperor reigned for twenty-one years, with a total of five sons and three daughters, and His Majesty was the youngest of the princes, and he was the least likely person to inherit the throne.

Among the five sons of the first emperor, the eldest son was named the crown prince at the age of fifteen, and at the age of twenty-five, he fell from a horse and died. The son is the queen's concubine, but unfortunately he is weak and sick, he died at the age of eleven, after the death of the prince, the third prince and the fourth prince competed, and in the end the fisherman profited, but it was the most unappreciated, the five princes born to the queen's maidservant, had to succeed to the throne.

And the queen's maidservant is the Empress Dowager Jiang who is now in power. This Empress Dowager Jiang is the daughter of the owner of the dance workshop, so she has been good at dancing since she was a child, and she is also beautiful and charming. Later, the country was mourned, the dance shops all over the country were closed and could not operate, and what made matters worse was that his father was sick and urgently needed medical treatment, and the Empress Dowager Jiang was mastered by her mother and sold into the Chai Wangfu as a slave, first the maid of Huanyi, and once when she sent the clothes to the county lord of the Chai Wangfu, she soiled the clothes of the Cheshire Lord, and that dress was originally the Chinese clothes that the Cheshire Lord was going to wear when he entered the palace, and it was originally to be beaten to death by the steward of the house, and when the Cheshire Lord who was successfully selected as the crown princess returned to the house, she wore new clothes and appeared in the backyard of the firewood house that she had never set foot in. asked her if she would like to marry into the East Palace with her.

Originally, it was the kindness of the Cheshire Lord, and he couldn't bear to let this little girl be beaten to death. Later, the Lord of Cheshire became the crown princess and the queen of Chai, and died of depression because of the death of his only son. And the little girl who was almost killed was fortunate to be pregnant with His Majesty today, and gave birth to a daughter, that is, Xinyue's mother, who became a virtuous concubine, and finally became the queen mother.

It is no wonder that King Yu said that His Majesty is the son of a palace girl, and he has never been cultivated as a prince, and he has low self-esteem and deep suspicion. And King Yu is the person he feared the most after he ascended the throne.

Xinyue knew that King Yu's arm, the son, and the youngest son of the second brother of the prince were all ...

"He won't let go of even a child. Ang'er was only five years old, because he wanted to put pressure on me, when Ang'er died, his lips were purple, and he was covered to death by his nursing mother, and the princess was also because she witnessed Ang'er's tragic situation, so she couldn't afford to be sick and finally died. Speaking of Princess Yu, Xinyue looked at the statue of Sanqingzun, and there was a tablet of Princess Yu, and in front of Princess Yu's ranking, incense pillars were burned.

"If it weren't for you, married into the Yuwang Mansion, the Queen Mother couldn't bear you like your mother, young, no husband, this king also handed over the military power, talent, can keep the peace of the Yuwang Mansion, although I don't want to admit it, but you, is my Yuwang Mansion's life talisman, don't say you want to leave, you are dead, and you can't get your wish. Therefore, this king advises you to die of this heart. "The new moon listened to King Yu word by word, and when he saw this, he couldn't get King Yu's answer.
