The cherry blossoms are all withering in this season, and the rough palace people have just finished spraying the trees, and the dark green leaves are glowing with a little vitality, and the tips of the leaves are still dripping with water droplets, which makes people feel cool.

Qu Xiaobai didn't know this kind of tree, and asked the palace people on the side, what kind of tree is it, and the palace people replied that it was Bi Ying, and the palace people were reliable people transferred in by Yang Ling, so they naturally wouldn't talk nonsense, but the palace people also reminded her a few words, saying that this Bi Ying Garden is Rong Guifei's favorite, and she has to come to stay for a few days every day when the Bi Ying is in full bloom.

Qu Xiaobai asked casually: "Did you come this year?" ”

The palace man nodded: "Well, I came, but I didn't live here, it seems that something happened that day." ”

The palace people didn't know the real situation that day, and they didn't know much about it when they asked again, Qu Xiaobai only heard that it seemed that the emperor's children were there that day, even Yang Ling was there, and in the end, in addition to the matter, one of the princes was also implicated and disposed of. The palace people didn't dare to say that a princess died here, for fear that it would cause Qu Xiaobai discomfort.

Rao didn't know that there was still a part of the princess dying in the palace, and Qu Xiaobai couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart, but he didn't know how lively it was. It's a pity that she wasn't there in person.

Although it is lively, you can also imagine the degree of danger, and the shape of Yang Ling's trip to the capital is even more dangerous than imagined.

She walked around the cherry blossom garden for a while, let the palace people open the palace door, and went in to "visit", there is nothing to see, but it is more delicate than other palaces, but because it has been uninhabited for a long time, it is less popular, and it makes people feel cold in the summer.

Qu Xiaobai didn't like the atmosphere here, and soon came out of the blue cherry blossom garden, and when he walked to the hot spring hall, he saw a group of people coming over from a distance, led by a young man in brocade, but he looked like a third prince, and behind the young man was surrounded by brightly dressed maidservants, and there were several followers.

Qu Xiaobai stopped. When the group of people got closer, it was really the third prince, Qu Xiaobai suddenly remembered that he mentioned to Yang Ling last night about inviting the third prince to chat.

This is what Yang Ling invited? It seems that yes, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the gate of this palace easily. The third prince walked up to Qu Xiaobai and bowed, "Imperial sister-in-law." ”

The third prince has recently been on bad terms with Yang Ling, and on the day the prince was invited to the east, he also teamed up to tease him, speaking of which, the third prince is also able to bend and stretch enough, the weather is like that, and now he can appear in front of her with a hippie smile, and can respectfully call her "imperial sister-in-law" on the surface, which can be regarded as a character.

Qu Xiaobai looked behind the third prince, but did not see Yang Ling's figure, the third prince saw what she meant, and said, "Is the imperial sister-in-law looking for Brother Ling?" There is no need to look for it, Brother Ling Huang didn't come back, something in the palace was delayed, and he asked me to come over and talk to the imperial sister-in-law first. ”

Qu Xiaobai nodded politely at him and smiled, "That day in Guangyuan Building, did you make the third prince unhappy?" It's hard for the three princes to come here regardless of their previous suspicions, which shows that the three princes are really broad-minded. ”

The first half of the sentence stimulated the anger in the heart of the third prince well, and the second half of the sentence pressed his anger back.

The expression of the third prince was very indescribable, and he said, "The imperial sister-in-law has a good reputation. How can I really be angry with my brother and sister-in-law. Is the imperial sister-in-law enjoying the scenery? I'm familiar with this palace, take the imperial sister-in-law around? ”

Luo Luo hurriedly gave a salute and said, "The third prince forgive me, our princess was injured yesterday and is not tired, and she is about to go back to the hot spring hall to rest." The three princes, please come over together. ”

Qu Xiaobai nodded: "You girl, talk a lot." Third Emperor Brother, it's cooler over there in the hot spring hall, why don't you move over there? ”

The third prince hurriedly asked about her injury, "I also heard from the people below on the way here that the subordinates in the Fifth Emperor's Sister's Mansion rebelled and rebelled, and were discovered by Emperor Ling and the imperial sister-in-law, and the imperial sister-in-law was also injured by thieves, and today I also came to see the imperial sister-in-law." The royal sister-in-law's injury is not a big deal, right? ”

Qu Xiaobai said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a skin injury." Our prairie woman is solid, this injury is nothing. ”

The third prince said: "The imperial sister-in-law is really strong, this has to be changed to those girls in Kyoto, not to mention that it will cost half a life, it will also be earth-shattering." I really admire the will of the imperial sister-in-law. ”

Qu Xiaobai walked forward with him, one left and one right, and said with a smile: "What is there to admire this, I am just rough skin and thick meat." ”

Qu Xiaobai didn't speak at all with the arrogance and hypocrisy of those girls in Kyoto, on the contrary, she spoke with a very down-to-earth feeling, which was disdainful of the three princes, but she had to say that she was very comfortable.

It's not that Qu Xiaobai doesn't know how to handle those delicate styles, but she doesn't want to. Making herself fake and tired, that's not what she wants.

Instead of trying to please others, it is better to entertain yourself.

The third prince smiled: "It's really interesting for the imperial sister-in-law to speak. ”

"Our Di Yi is not as cultural as Da Liang, and we have little knowledge, so it's good that the three emperor brothers don't laugh."

"The imperial sister-in-law is too modest, who doesn't know in Kyoto now, the imperial sister-in-law has compared the five imperial sisters and the first talented girl Rongrong in a piano and a dance, who dares to say that Di Yi's women are talentless?"

"Those are just small skills of carving insects, the real cultural heritage, it has to be said to be Da Liang. I heard that there are several great Confucians in the court, but they are all equal to their writings, and we have few scholars in Diyi, and the style of study is not so strong, but they are dancing and swords, and they are quite good. ”

"Does the imperial sister-in-law also know martial arts?"

"I won't. If I could, I wouldn't have hurt yesterday. My father admired Da Liang's Confucianism, and since I was a child, I was not allowed to dance with a knife and a gun, and only let me learn some qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I have the active nature of the Diyi people in my blood, and I have also learned half-heartedness in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, not good. ”

"If the imperial sister-in-law wants to say this, let those cool women put their faces somewhere."

"No, it's that they're humble."

"By the way, sister-in-law, do you know, the fifth sister is sick." The third prince finally turned the topic back to business.

"Sick? What's going on? Wasn't she okay the last time I saw her? Qu Xiaobai pretended not to know, looking surprised.

"I don't know, I've been taken into the palace by the concubine Niangniang to recuperate, I was going to visit, but the Niangniang didn't allow it, so I had to give up."

"So, is it very sick? Isn't it because the servants at home are actually plotting to rebel, so they are angry? Speaking of which, whoever rests on it will be angry. ”

"The imperial sister-in-law has never suspected it, is she also involved?"

Qu Xiaobai hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't you dare to think so, how could she, a delicate girl, be involved in such a thing?" ”

"Also, although the Fifth Emperor Sister is usually arrogant and domineering, it is absolutely impossible to rebel, after all, she is the most favored child of her father." The third prince paused, "I heard that the person who injured the imperial sister-in-law at that time has not been caught yet, and that person has extremely high martial arts, I am afraid that he has escaped from the capital." Brother Ling Huang is too, why don't you let your father send troops to chase after him? ”

Qu Xiaobai smiled bitterly: "That person is wearing a veil, I didn't see his appearance, and it's been so long, it's been early if he wants to run, the vast sea of people, where to catch it?" ”

The third prince didn't get any useful information, and said, "Yes." ”

"Brother Ling Huang is such a smart person, why is he so confused this time, he should have sent a letter to the palace at that time."

"At that time, there were 5,000 elite soldiers of Lord Rong here, and he thought that he would not let the thieves go. And the thief was wounded by my secret weapon. I really didn't expect to escape. ”

The corners of the third prince's mouth revealed a touch of disdain, "Elite soldiers? I heard that there were about 1,000 people on the mountain at that time, and all the 5,000 elite soldiers were wiped out. ”

Qu Xiaobai only pretended not to understand, and said, "If there were no soldiers from Lord Rong at that time, Yang Ling and I are afraid that we would have been killed by Si Daofeng's people." I'm sorry he lost so many soldiers. ”

The third prince: "......" was silent for a moment, and then said: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the country supports them, not only to let them eat and drink enough to look good, their duty is to protect the family, defend the country and protect the safety of the people." ”

Qu Xiaobai seemed to smile: "The third prince is very right. ”

When these words came out of his mouth, why did he not like them so much? Although it is the duty of a soldier to protect his family and defend the country, as a prince, he does not know how to be loyal and sympathetic to the people, who is he qualified to say such a thing?

"It's just that after so many people died, I still felt uncomfortable."

The third prince also looked down on Qu Xiaobai's words. Di Yi has been committing Daliang Frontier for many years, causing many people to die in the Frontier every year, where did she get her fake kindness to cry here and cry mice?

Aren't all Diyi supposed to be cold-blooded and cruel?

Qu Xiaobai saw his expression out of the corner of his eyes, and knew what he was thinking, chuckled, and said, "Third Emperor Brother, is it a bit false that I said this?" Di Yi and Da Liang have fought every year, and how many people have died are simply uncountable, so what qualifications do I have to say that? In fact, like the third emperor brother, I was born and raised in the deep palace, and those wars were things far away from me, and it was not until yesterday that I faced death for the first time. ”

Later, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, "I persuaded my father to put down his arms and put down his body to negotiate peace, just because I didn't want to see war anymore and saw so many people die in war." ”

While speaking, he had already reached the stone steps in front of the hot spring hall, Qu Xiaobai wiped a handful of tears, and said: "Look at me, where did you go, don't talk about these boring things, Third Emperor Brother, did Yang Ling say that why invited you to come?" ”

"Brother Ling Huang only said that the drawings in some parts of the palace were lost, let me come over and take a look, and wait for him to come back and study them together."

She thought that he had found some kind of reason to let Lu Gon come, it turned out to be such a reason. It's a perfect reason.

"It turned out to be for this, the hard work of the three emperor brothers."
