"Sister Hongfu, how long will it take for us to get to Luoyang?" Gently rubbing the calves that had been sitting in the carriage until they were stiff, Tao Yao wrinkled a delicate little face, which looked particularly distressing. Since she was born, she has basically never stepped out of the Yongwang Mansion, and she has been on the road for so long for the first time, and she is really not used to coming.

With pity in her eyes, she reached out and combed the broken hair on the side of the little girl's sideburns, this girl named Hongfu spoke softly, and coaxed her little master very patiently: "The slave has asked the coachman, probably this afternoon you can enter Luoyang City, the little county lord should bear with it more." ”

As the first big girl to use by Liu's side, she can be regarded as watching the young lady grow up little by little to today, and it is really not easy for such a snow-like delicate ** baby to speak after so many days of bumps. Although she also knew that in order to take care of this side, General Gao and his party had reduced their speed to the minimum, but after all, they were women who had lived in the backyard for a long time, and even if they did a lot of work, they were by no means as solid as ordinary men.

"yes, I see." flattened her small mouth and responded, although Tao Yao was extremely tired, she was sensible and did not lose her temper. Raising her hand and lifting the curtain a little to look out, her immature voice was a little curious: "Sister Hongfu, is Luoyang better than Chang'an?" ”

Because she was too young, she hadn't visited Chang'an much, but in her impression, the place where the peach blossoms burned all over every spring was always the most beautiful. However, since even people like His Majesty the Emperor choose to live in Luoyang, it means that the gods should be as good as the place where they grew up. Of course, this kind of problem, she only dares to mention it to Hong Futi, otherwise, if she meets her third brother, it will be strange if she doesn't laugh at her petty family.

"Luoyang is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the weather in Chang'an is very different." Hongfu is the son of the family, and when she was young, she also went out a few times with her parents who were in charge of purchasing, and her knowledge was far from that of ordinary maids, which was one of the reasons why Liu was relieved to hand over her daughter to take care of: "But the peony flowers in Luoyang are extremely beautiful, and now is the time to bloom, if the little county lord has a heart, he might as well take a closer look." ”

Gao Xianzhi, who had been riding his horse and following the car, vaguely heard the sound of the conversation, and a warm smile appeared on Ruyu's face, but it disappeared in a flash. Tao Yao is her, obviously she is just such a young child, but she ......

"It's fate." Seeing through what his son was thinking at a glance, the high house chicken on the other side sighed, and his eyebrows, which already had traces of wind and frost, were full of indifference and depression that could break the world: "The more you get, the greater the price you have to pay, and God is often so stingy that you don't even give you the opportunity to choose." Once you are born into this world, apart from death, you can only endure, endure, and live well. ”

"Father ......" didn't expect that someone who had always been open-minded and cheerful would suddenly come up with such a profound argument, Gao Xianzhi was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't know how he should react for a long time. To be honest, he didn't think that Gao Sheji's words were aimed at him, but if it was aimed at Tao Yao, it would be a little too abnormal. After all, a five-year-old child's wisdom is limited, and those few words are too subtle to be understood by being smart and clever alone.

waved his hand, and Gao Sheji didn't seem to have the meaning to say more: "It's just a moment of emotion, you don't have to dig too deep into anything, it's enough to think more about my words in case of trouble." ”

Nodding thoughtfully, Gao Xianzhi was not a person of many words, so he continued to hurry in a muffled voice after taking the conversation. The group worked non-stop, and finally entered Luoyang, the divine capital, before sunset.

"Little county lord, it's getting late today, let's just rest for a night, and let's enter the palace tomorrow." After pausing for a moment at the city gate, Gao Sheji leaned over to inform Tao Yao in the carriage of his decision, and his tone between the lines was very soft, not slacking off at all because she was a child.

poked her head out of the window slightly, Tao Yao smiled with her eyes, and just responded coquettishly: "Everything is up to Uncle Gao." Although she is still at an age of little and no more, because of her family background, she knows very well that this Luoyang City is not a place where she can do it at will. For now, or maybe for a longer period of time in the future, the man in front of her is her only reliance here. So, no matter what, you can't always go wrong with him.

"Okay, then I can only grieve the little county lord for one night in my mansion." Qingjun's face revealed a doting look peculiar to a loving father, Gao Sheji smiled slightly, and immediately ordered the team to go in a direction close to the imperial city.

Since he entered Beijing three years ago, the emperor has given him a general's mansion to show his favor and facilitate his long-term residence in Luoyang. Now with Tao Yao, there is such a mansion, which is indeed a lot cheaper.

And almost at the same moment as they entered the city, Wu Cao, who was in the palace, got extremely detailed information. While listening to the reports of the people below, she continued to review the folds without raising her head, looking a little unconcerned: "So, the county lord of Taoyao is with Gao Sheji?" ”

"Yes." Half-hanging his head to answer, the black-clothed man kneeling on one knee was thin and slender, and the voice turned out to be a woman: "My subordinates followed me all the way, and I didn't find any people from Yongwang's Mansion in secret, and the county lord only brought a few attendants and servants, and none of these people knew martial arts." ”

It's also strange to think about it, I heard that King Yong loves this daughter very much, but I can rest assured that such a young child can go on the road alone, even if there is General Gao escorting him along the way, it is an outsider in the end. Or is it that in order to dispel the emperor's concerns, King Yong simply played a hand to abandon the pawn to protect the car, thinking about exchanging a daughter's life for the safety of the whole house?

Zhu Bi froze slightly on the paper, Wu Cao snorted lightly, but he couldn't hear half of his joy and anger: "He is relieved." As she spoke, she closed the last notebook, put down the pen and stood up straight: "Since you have settled down in the General's Mansion, you will leave them alone for the time being." Let's go to Taiping, let her remember to enter the palace tomorrow. ”

"Yes, as His Majesty commands." Responding more and more respectfully, the woman in black bowed and retreated, and after gently closing the door, she disappeared into the vast twilight with a single leap, as silent as when she came.

In the imperial study, Wu Cao, who was standing alone in front of the window, squinted at the phoenix eyes, but a touch of desolation faintly flashed on his majestic face: "It's cold in high places." "Even future generations have to avoid many taboos against themselves, is she really so unforgivable?
