The next day, Tao Yao first went to Webster's, and after obtaining permission from the queen's mother, she took Hongfu to the mansion of Princess Taiping in a carriage.

Because she was afraid that Princess Taiping would go out if she had something to do, she would pounce on herself, so when she decided to visit, Tao Yao asked Hongfu to hand over the prayer post first. Therefore, when they arrived, Princess Taiping had already sent Akihara to wait at the gate of the mansion.

"See the county lord of Taoyao, the county lord Wan'an." After the salute, Qiu Yuan took a few steps forward and helped Tao Yao get out of the car with a thoughtful manner: "I haven't seen you for many years, the little county lord is getting more and more beautiful, and he is still the water and soil of Chang'an." ”

"Aunt Akihara is still beautiful, just looking at it is very heartbreaking." Tao Yao has been a sweet-mouthed person since she was a child, as long as she wants, she can coax anyone very happy: "I wonder how Her Royal Highness the princess is doing lately?" When Tao Yao first returned to Shendu, I only heard that His Royal Highness had been busy, but he didn't dare to disturb him, I wonder if he could be presumptuous today? ”

"Where did the county lord say?" While leading Tao Yao and the two to the depths of the mansion, he slowly replied with a decent smile, Qiu Yuan's attitude was as good as many years ago, so that people couldn't find fault with it, that kind of natural and proper like a spring breeze, so that Hongfu, who was following behind, just looked at it and her eyes lit up: "Her Royal Highness the princess is looking forward to you coming, when I received the greeting post yesterday, I blamed you for being too polite, and you are not an outsider, you can come at any time, and it seems that the door of our house is too high to hand over a post." ”

Distracted by the unusually magnificent layout of the Princess Zhenguo Mansion, and then looking at the various cherished peonies planted in the flower beds along the road, Tao Yao just smiled and pursed her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed: "I haven't been in the Shendu for many years, and now the situation in Beijing is different from the past, so it is inevitable to be a little more careful in my actions, and I will save His Highness any more trouble." ”

This kid is still as cautious as he was back then. Sighing silently, Qiu Yuan noticed Tao Yao's eyes, and changed the topic by the way: "Your Highness's favorite is peony flowers, so after opening the new mansion, he specially asked the florist to collect all kinds of precious varieties to plant, I don't know how the county lord looks?" ”

"Rich flowers grow in rich land, which is naturally worthy of the name and the most appropriate." Tao Yao did not hesitate to praise the scene: "Your Royal Highness has always had extraordinary taste, and the decoration of the mansion is very elegant, and it is indeed beautiful." It's just that she prefers the peach blossoms of the tree to the overly bright and beautiful flowers. Although the appearance is delicate and thin, and the beauty can't withstand a sudden wind, after all, it is wanton and free, and has a soul of its own. This is a state that she has longed for but has never been able to achieve.

Just like that, they greeted each other all the way, and finally Akihara took them through the flowers and willows around a moon gate and came to the flower hall of the princess of Zhenguo's mansion. And facing the top seat at the door, there was already a princess Taiping dressed in homely clothes, and at this moment she was holding a cup of tea, looking at Tao Yao approaching with a smile, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"Yao'er met Her Royal Highness the princess and made Her Highness wait for a long time, it was rude for Yao'er." Walking forward quickly, Tao Yao bowed down for the first time, and there was a little panic on her face at the right time, and Princess Taiping couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth: "Okay, it's all your own people, so you don't need to be so foreign, I'm willing to wait for a while, what does it have to do with you." As she spoke, she raised her hand and gave her a hand: "Get up quickly, I haven't seen you for many years, let me take a good look at what you have become." ”

Yi Yan got up and looked up, and sat down at the bottom, Tao Yao smiled and couldn't help but seriously look at the appearance of Princess Taiping. The years have always treated this woman favorably, even if time passes, now it is not what it used to be, she is still as beautiful as ever, except that the lines at the corners of her eyes seem to be slightly more when she laughs, Princess Taiping has not even changed the haughty color of her eyebrows and eyes. As if Wu Cao's affairs had no effect on her, she was now sitting in the newly built mansion, condescending, looking down on all living beings, still the beautiful princess who had enjoyed thousands of favors and held countless privileges. But thinking about it, she is the daughter of Gaozong's relatives, the authentic Princess Li Tang, whether she changes the sky or not, whether she changes people or not, it is actually insignificant to her. As long as she can think openly and let go, no one can shake her identity and status at all.

"When I first saw you, I knew it was a beautiful embryo, but I didn't expect this eyebrow to grow and it turned out to be a beautiful country." Slightly gratified eyes slowly lingered on the girl's delicate face as smooth as jade, Princess Taiping seemed to not remember the disappearance of the two during the Cold War before leaving, but revealed a sense of pride that my family had a girl growing up: "This kind of glorious color, just along the way, I must not even be able to avoid you in the peony in my garden, but I dare not call you for the flower viewing banquet on another day." ”

Moreover, the older she is, the more she looks like Prince Zhang Huai, and she looks like her peerless gentle brother, which makes people have to sigh at the magic of the bloodline. She seems to be able to see her brother's smile through this face, and it is no wonder that her mother often wants to see this little girl even if she is in Shangyang Palace.

"The peonies planted by His Royal Highness are true national colors, how dare you be a child, you don't have to make fun of me anymore." waved her hand again and again, Tao Yao really didn't want her appearance to be linked to words like stunning. You know, Li Bao'er still holds the title of the first beauty in the Tang Dynasty, if she is rumored to be a national beauty and a fragrance again, that person must not immediately rush to the Lanyue Palace to kill her. That woman is no better than Li Jijiang, the cruelty of her means and the poison of her mind are far beyond imagination, and she doesn't want to face her for the time being.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Princess Taiping's eyes instantly became smiling: "This is not a joke, in my opinion, the name of Li Bao'er, the number one beauty, should indeed be replaced." ”

I'm really afraid of something. Tao Yao wanted to cry without tears, and even the smile on her face gradually became bitter. Please, this is not what she wants, the name of the first beauty is hung up, she is afraid that she will have to lose her life, or don't do it.

"You said hello to Webster before you left the palace today?" Princess Taiping looked at her expression, as if she thought it was very interesting, and suddenly asked a question that seemed to be unrelated.

"Yes." Tao Yao replied truthfully: "But the queen mother is still sick, and I didn't see her with my own eyes, but just passed a few words through internal history." ”
