The next day, Yin Yu got up before dawn, practiced his knife in the courtyard as usual, until he was sweating profusely and venting his excess energy, he carried a bucket of water bare-chested and took a shower, and then returned to the bedroom to tidy up his appearance.

The area of the Royal Palace, which is not much smaller than the Princess Mansion next door, is less than twenty people combined, except for the personal soldiers of the courtyard, that is, the servants who sprinkle and sweep, in the words of the old family, the Royal Mansion does not even have a mosquito.

Yin Yu spent most of his time fighting outside the country during these years, eating and living with the soldiers on the march, and he was ready to make do if he could, and he was doing with it, and his life was quite rough.

He searched the wardrobe, but he could not find even a decent garment.

"Isn't the prince not going to court today, where are you going?" Lao Jia Cheng stood at the door of the bedroom at some point, and asked with his sleeves copied.

"Go hunting in the eastern suburbs with Zhan Shilang." Yin Yu didn't want to say that he was going to see the princess, for fear that his hometown would come to scold him again.

"Then why do you have to pick a change of clothes for a long time?"

The old man has sharp eyes, yesterday when the prince went to the last court, he was still mourning, and when he came back from the next court, he was alive and well, and even his footsteps were brisk, there must be something boring.

Yin Yu was uncomfortable stared at by him, and replied, "The princess will go too." ”

Lao Jiacheng looked like this, and then turned his head and left: "Wait, Wangye." ”

Yin Yu didn't know what he was doing, so he continued to rummage through the cabinets, and finally found a Hu suit that he didn't often wear, and put it on his body, only to find that the buttons on the placket couldn't be fastened, and the sleeves were half short.

When he was worried, Lao Lao Cheng came back, still holding a new set of robes in his hand, along with leather belts and boots.

"The prince put on this and take a look."

Yin Yu was puzzled: "Where did you get the new clothes?" ”

Lao Cheng was proud: "On the day the prince took the princess back to Beijing, I made it for you, thinking that it would come in handy one day." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to help Yin Yu change his clothes, and it really fitted perfectly, but it was just ......

"Isn't the color too bright?" Yin Yu awkwardly touched the dark lines on the cuffs.

Lao Cheng sneered: "How can you look young if you are not fresh?" ”

Yin Yu is quite sensitive to the word young, and immediately felt that this dress was pleasing to the eye, stood in front of the mirror, and looked from head to toe, but found that there was a place that was very unpleasant.

Yin Yu tugged at his thick beard.

Lao Cheng was prepared, took out a razor from behind him, and smiled.

Yin Yu hurriedly retreated and resisted: "I don't shave my beard. ”

Thinking that when he led the army for the first time, he was not yet twenty years old, and everyone in the army laughed at him for daring to come out to fight before his hair was full, and the soldiers did not obey him. Since then, he has never shaved his beard, and as he has more and more beards, and more and more people believe in him, this beard has become his confidence, and it is absolutely impossible for him to shave it.

Lao Cheng sighed and put down the razor: "Forget it, anyway, there are already two young and good-looking Langjun around the princess, even if you shave your beard, you may not be as good as others." ”

Yin Yu's face darkened, and the feeling of scratching his heart and lungs came again, he didn't want to think about it, and stretched out his hand: "Take it!" ”

***

Zhan Yaofei waited at the gate of the city for half an hour, but did not see Yin Yu come to meet him.

He Qiong and Zhan Youjing urged him over and over again, but he lost his patience, so he just thought that he had been released by Yin Yu, and he didn't wait any longer, and rushed to the eastern suburbs with his wife and daughter.

Located 10 miles northeast of Kyoto, the Eastern Suburbs Enclosure was enclosed during the reign of the Emperor Patriarch for the royal nobles to hunt on horseback, and was bustling with activity in spring and autumn.

No matter how fierce the war outside the customs is, it will not prevent the magnates in Beijing from having fun.

This time, it was the eldest princess of Yongning who was the east, and she had set up a big tent on the horse farm at the entrance of the paddock early.

At this time, there was a lot of laughter in the tent, and the eldest princess Yongning sat on the main seat, enjoying the compliments of everyone.

She is wearing a new spring dress cut by the Shangfu Bureau, the material is only five tributes a year, and she wears a complete set of rubies and gold beads on her head.

As for why it was worn on the head of the eldest princess of Yongning, everyone knew it.

On the day when the royal master returned to the court, how many pairs of eyes were sent into the palace like hundreds of treasure chests.

The Empress Dowager is not in Kyoto, but her niece Empress Dowager Rong is here, and the palace is abundant, so the eldest princess of Yongning is indispensable.

Zhan Yaofei's family of three sat in a position that did not move forward or backward, looking at everyone with envy and jealousy.

Zhan Youjing leaned into He Qiong's ear and said: "It's good that we didn't wear new jewelry when we went out, otherwise it would be bigger than the gem on the eldest princess's head, and it would be strange if she didn't hold a grudge." ”

He Qiong nodded happily, Li Lingyu gave Zhan Youjing the box of gems, there were one hundred and ten, and if you pick one out, it is bigger than the one on the head of the eldest princess of Yongning, and the color is better.

Zhan Yaofei didn't know what the two of them were muttering, so he glanced at the vacant seat beside the eldest princess of Yongning, and asked He Qiong in a low voice:

"Why hasn't the princess arrived yet?"

This princess obviously asked Li Lingyu.

He Qiong glanced at him: "What's the hurry, His Highness said that he would definitely come, unlike some people, who don't believe in their words." ”

Speaking of the king, He Qiong was angry, she specially asked Zhan Yao to fly to report the news, she wanted the king to come over to help the princess take down the sweaty horse, who knew that he was so unreliable.

Zhan Yaofei was speechless, he didn't understand what Yin Yu thought in his heart, after more than ten years, he finally brought people back, but he began to be afraid again.

"What time is it?" Yongning asked the maid behind him, and when he learned that it was over, he couldn't help frowning.

Someone below asked: "Your Highness, everyone has arrived, when will we enjoy the horses?" ”

"Wait a minute, our eldest princess of Dingguo hasn't arrived yet."

This cold sentence made the scene quiet instantly.

"Your Highness is right...... Princess Yongsi? Someone asked tentatively.

Princess Yongsi, this is a person who is too familiar and old to everyone.

What is familiar is that fourteen years ago, her name was known to everyone, and for a long time, in the past fourteen years, people have regarded her as a taboo, not to think about it, and not to mention it.

Because when I think of her, I have to think of the bleakest years of Da Liang, and when I mention her, I have to mention the most shameful past of Da Liang.

"Why don't you speak?"

Yongning didn't like this kind of quiet, it was not the scene she expected, and she set her eyes on the eldest princess of Huayang, the only daughter of the Empress Dowager Rong, and the most beloved daughter of the first emperor.

The eldest princess of Huayang laughed coquettishly, breaking the silence, she leaned on the eldest princess of Yongning, and asked innocently:

"Auntie, I can't even remember what Aunt Yongsi looked like, I heard that when she was young, she was the first beauty in our Da Liang, is it true?"

Huayang is only sixteen years old this year, it is the age of fresh and tender can pinch out the water, and his appearance has inherited all the advantages of the first emperor and the Empress Dowager Rong.

Yongning looked at Huayang's face and remembered that people often say that this niece was born like her, but he only felt ironic, if she said that she had three points like herself, then she would have seven points like Yongsi.

"Silly girl, if she wasn't the first beauty in Daliang back then, how could your father ask her to go and kiss, if it wasn't for the first beauty in Daliang, the old khan of the Qiang country would not have fainted, withdrew his troops, and in the end destroyed the country for her and lost his life." Yongning said with a smile in a contemptuous tone.

Huayang blinked, covered his mouth and laughed.

Everyone was infected by the laughter, and they all laughed out one after another.

Only Zhan Yaofei's family had a bad face here, He Qiong clenched his fists with red eyes, his heart was burning with anger, Zhan Youqing was also angry, he was about to stand up and speak, Zhan Yaofei held down their mother and daughter one by one.

"Don't be impulsive, wait until the princess comes."

Zhan Yaofei is not annoyed, but he is calmer than his wife and daughter, knowing that this matter is too big to end, and he is secretly glad that the king is not there, if that guy starts a fire, he really can't stop it, one of those present today is counted as one, and no one can run away.

Huayang laughed enough, and tilted his head to coquettish Yongning: "That's bad, Aunt Yongsi will be the second beauty of Da Liang when she comes back." ”

Yongning shaved her face affectionately: "Say you're stupid, you're really stupid, what age are you, what age is she, your Aunt Yongsi is thirty years old, and she is about to be a grandmother, how can she compare with your little girl." ”

The crowd chimed in.

"Yes, yes, we are all old, and the eldest princess of Huayang is still young."

"Having said that, Princess Yongsi has been married to the Qiang Kingdom for so many years, and she has not given birth to a son and a half daughter to the old khan, I'm afraid it's not because she's not in good health."

"How do you know it's not that old khan who is old and useless......"

He Qiong listened to them more and more excessively, and couldn't bear it anymore, broke free from Zhan Yaofei, and took the case: "Presumptuous, you dare to slander the eldest princess of Dingguo!" What a crime! ”

Everyone was startled, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

Yongning sank his face and looked at He Qiong: "Presumptuous, this palace is here, how can you let you shout!" ”

Zhan Yao flew up, protected He Qiong behind him, and bowed to Yongning: "Your Highness forgives you." ”

Yongning snorted coldly: "It's time for Zhan Shilang to discipline Mrs. Ling well." ”

Without waiting for Zhan Yaofei to answer, Zhan stood up again and said loudly: "The eldest princess should take care of herself, my father taught me when I was six years old, and those who speak ill of people behind their backs are shameless villains!" ”

Yongning was furious, grabbed the wine glass in front of him and smashed it at Zhan Youjing: "Bastard thing!" ”

Zhan Yaofei couldn't bear it anymore, smashed the wine glass with a punch, pulled his wife and daughter, turned around and left, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would lift this big tent and commit a big crime.

Everyone was already dumbfounded.

Yongning got up and shouted angrily: "Come on, stop them for me!" ”

A team of guards rushed in from outside the tent, blocking Zhan Yao's way out, and Zhan Yao stood suddenly, not because he was afraid of them, but because he saw a shadow outside the tent, and he rushed forward.

"It's so lively, it seems that this palace is late."
