Duanmu Fei sent someone to bring the news the afternoon the day before, so Feng Yan had been waiting at the Yimen for a long time, waiting for it. Duanmu Fei didn't come again, Feng Yan wanted to go to Duanmu's house to pick her up in person, but he was afraid that the two of them would miss it on the road.

"Vera!"

As soon as Feng Yan stepped forward, Bi Cicada had nowhere to stand, so he had to retreat to the side with interest, and Feng Yan personally helped Duanmu Fei get out of the car.

After that, Bi Cicada felt that she was superfluous at all, so she had to silently keep a certain distance from Duanmu Fei and Feng Yan, her eyes turned flexibly, and she said in her heart: Today's weather is so good, the sky is really blue, the clouds are really white, and the flowers are blooming so well......

After a while, they came to Yuhuatang.

Anping personally took Duanmu Fei to the small Buddha hall in Yuhua Hall, enshrined the scriptures copied by Duanmu Fei in front of the jade statue of Guanyin, and bowed down to the incense reverently before leaving the small Buddha Hall.

The breeze outside blew away the smell of cigarettes on the three of them, and An Ping looked at Duanmu Fei on the right side with a soft expression, and praised: "Zhen Zhen, your hairpin flower is really well written, juan Xiu Yayi, without losing your muscles." At your age, the palace was arrogant, and he couldn't calm down to copy the scriptures, and the queen mother often said that the words of the palace were sharp, just like a wild monkey, and the words were really like people......"

The queen mother in Anping's mouth naturally refers to the first queen mother who has long been immortal, and she is also the original wife of the first emperor.

Duanmu Fei looked at the bright and noble Anping, and couldn't match her with the "wild monkey" in her mouth, and silently lowered her eyes.

Anping seemed to see the entanglement on Duanmu's little face, laughed out loud, and said with a hearty smile: "When Bengong was young, it was when he was a young man in fresh clothes and angry horses, and he saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ”

An Ping's tone was filled with a bit of nostalgia for the past.

The spring breeze accompanied by the bright sunshine and falling petals slowly blowing, blowing the clothes of the three people, the sideburns are slightly messy, the red gold inlaid ruby phoenix hairpin on Anping's head is also swaying with the wind, and the three strands of beads on the head of the phoenix collide with each other, making a crisp sound.

Duanmu Fei said playfully: "Your Highness, people are not reckless young people. After a pause, she pointed at herself seriously and said, "I'm also 'frivolous'!" ”

When Anping heard this, he smiled even more happily, and the happy laughter fluttered away with the flying petals in the wind.

She raised her hand and rubbed the top of Duanmu's soft hair, and said in a coaxing tone: "Well, Scarlet is really good." ”

"......" Although this is not the reaction that Duanmu Fei expected to hear, but this is also a compliment, isn't it? Duanmu Scarlet Paradise thought.

Looking at the cute appearance of the little girl, the smile on An Ping's face deepened, and he turned his head to look at the stupid son whose eyes had long been straight, and his heart was very funny.

She quickly blinked her left eye at Feng Yan from an angle that Duanmu Fei couldn't see, and said with a smile: "Ah Yan, the weather is good today, you take Fei'er to all parts of the mansion to have a good time." ”

Feng Yan reacted slowly, cleared his throat and said, "Zhen Zhen, I built you a swing in the garden, do you want to try it?" ”

Duanmu Fei suddenly became energetic, nodding like pounding garlic, Anping could almost see a restless cat tail behind the little girl wagging wildly, wanting to play.

These two children are really what kind of pot and what lid, absolutely not. An Ping looked at the backs of the two children leaving with a smile, and the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised did not let go.

Anping suddenly wanted to write.

An Ping stood in the courtyard for a long time, letting the flying petals fall on her, and many memories of the past flashed in her beautiful phoenix eyes.

She raised her eyes to look at the blue sky, and said in her heart: If the royal brother and sister-in-law have a spirit in the sky, they should be relieved to see Ah Yan like this now. Their Ah Yan is so good.

Feng Yan took Duanmu Fei to the garden, and the swing was set up on the branch of one of the oldest and thickest old locust trees in the garden, and when the wind blew, the swing shook slightly in mid-air.

Duanmu stared at the swing with burning eyes, his eyes were surprisingly bright.

As soon as she grabbed the rope of the swing, she found that the tentacles were unexpectedly soft, and the rope that strung the swing board was not a hemp rope, but a stronger and more flexible rope.

"This is a leather rope that I have asked to make a whip and then tanned it with leather." Feng Yan said that he was also afraid that the hemp rope would wear Zhen Zhen's hands, so he specially found someone to customize this leather rope.

Duanmu Fei couldn't listen to it for a long time, and sat on the wooden board of the swing eagerly, holding the leather ropes on both sides with both hands, and her toes could just point on the grass below.

She gently applied her foot force, and the swing swayed slightly, and it felt like a boat on a lake.

A brisk smile appeared on Duanmufei's little face.

Because of heart disease, she has never swinged, and she has only seen Wuyang play with a few Chu family sisters with envy, and this is the first time

It's so much fun!

Duanmu Fei tentatively shook her toes several times, and soon this feeling like a dragonfly could not satisfy her.

Before she could say anything, Feng Yan, who was good at observing words and feelings, had already come over attentively, "Zhen Zhen, I'll help you push it." ”

Feng Yan cautiously helped her push the swing, again and again, with gentle movements, making the swing gradually swing higher and higher......

Duanmu Fei, who was sitting on the swing, felt that she was flying higher and higher, and she was blessed by Feng Yan before she climbed the wall and climbed the roof, she didn't have any discomfort at all, but felt that the feeling of flying was very interesting, and laughter like a mountain stream and a clear spring escaped from her mouth, and her white cheeks seemed to be glowing, and her spirit was flying.

Feng Yan looked at Duanmu Fei's smiling face stupidly, his eyes were slightly in a trance, and he overlapped this face with another completely different face.

He still remembered many, many years ago, when he entered the palace once, he saw Ah Ci from a distance watching Wuyang playing on the swing with envy......

Now she no longer has to be disturbed by heart disease, and finally she doesn't have to be so careful, and she can finally live wantonly. That's nice.

Feng Yan squinted, a pair of gentle phoenix eyes overflowed, and the cicada not far away was almost blind.

Bi Cicada silently looked away, anyway, Feng Gongzi is here, her own girl can't have an accident, she still enjoys the flowers, the peach blossoms in this garden are really good!

After Duanmu got on the swing, he was reluctant to come down, until a housekeeper ran panting and said: "Son, Gonggong Li in the palace has come to pass on the message." ”

Duanmu stopped the swing and stood up busily, not wanting to, she had just been swinging on the swing for a while, and as soon as she stood up, she felt that her eyes were a little dizzy, so she didn't step on it, she felt a stumble under her feet, and fell forward in embarrassment......

What is happiness and sorrow, Duanmu Fei understood it profoundly, just looking at the green grass on the ground infinitely enlarged in front of her eyes, she still had the heart to rejoice: fortunately, there were no stones in the grass...... No, this is the meadow of the princess's mansion, and it is natural that there are no stones.

She was thinking wildly, when she suddenly felt a tightness at her waist, a strong arm wrapped around her waist accurately, and then she was grounded again.

Before Duanmu Fei could react, he stupidly stepped on the grass with his feet, patted his slightly undulating chest, and looked up at Feng Yan gratefully, "Feng Gongzi, fortunately, you reacted quickly." ”

Feng Yan met her bright eyes, and for a moment, her mind was blank, only feeling that her cheeks were delicate and flawless, and she could be broken by blowing, and her skin was flushed with a layer of peach blossom-like redness, as if she had been smeared with rouge.

The faces of the two men were less than a foot apart, and the thin and almost transparent fuzz on each other's faces could be seen closely.

Bang bang bang!

Feng Yan only felt that his heart was beating like a drum, and his heart was beating faster and faster, and he subconsciously raised his right hand that was originally wrapped around her waist, wanting to touch her cheek......

However, his hand was only raised to the position of Duanmu Fei's shoulder, and Duanmu Fei had already turned around, turned around briskly, and said, "Feng Gongzi, let's go find His Highness." ”

Feng Yan's face was red, and his ears were frozen in place, and the roots of his ears were about to burn.

The housekeeper who came to deliver the message also saw the scene just now, looked at the ignorant Duanmufei, and then looked at the shy Feng Yan, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, planning to tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in private later.

On the surface, the grandmother still looked like she had no relatives, and said to Duanmu Fei affectionately: "Fourth girl, Your Highness is in Yuhua Hall." ”

Someone from the palace, it stands to reason that they are going to greet each other in person at the Yimen, but Anping is not an ordinary person.

In this court, except for the emperor and the queen mother, no one is qualified to let Anping greet him in person.

Feng Yan followed Duanmu Fei in the direction of Yuhuatang, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile and a smile, and he vaguely guessed a little bit of the emperor's intentions in his heart.

When Duanmu Fei and Feng Yan arrived at Yuhua Hall, Xiao Lizi happened to arrive.

Of course, Xiao Lizi also knew Duanmu Fei, and she was a little surprised.

He settled down, stepped forward to salute An, and then politely relayed the emperor's meaning: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the emperor asked His Royal Highness to take Feng Gongzi into the palace immediately, and go to Huangjue Temple with the holy driver tomorrow." ”

Then, Xiao Lizi looked at Duanmu Fei, who was sitting on Anping's left hand, and his originally respectful and polite smile suddenly became very attentive, and he said with a smile: "Fourth girl, our family was going to Duanmu Mansion, but this is a coincidence." The emperor also gave an edict to the four girls, asking the girls to enter the palace today and live with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

"......" Duanmu pursed his lips, his expression was a little subtle.

She also understood the emperor's intentions, tomorrow was a big day, and there was no room for things to go wrong, and the emperor was afraid that Anping would take the opportunity to make trouble, so he planned to take care of Anping and Feng Yan without a trace.

It's just that......

Why do you want to enter the palace yourself?!

Duanmu wanted to cry and sighed in her heart without tears: She won't go home this night, and the little starling is going to be angry again!

The smile on the corner of An Ping's mouth turned cold, and he said lightly: "The palace will enter the palace as soon as it is cleaned up." ”

Of course, Xiao Lizi saw that he was peaceful, and he didn't stay long, so he retreated after saluting.

Duanmu Fei beckoned to Bi Chan and ordered: "Bi Chan, you go back and talk to your sister, and let her tell your grandfather, just say that I entered the palace with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Feng Gongzi." ”

It was the first time Bi Chan encountered this situation, and the whole person was stunned, and there was always an illusion in her heart that "she seemed to have lost the girl".

But the emperor's order cannot be violated, she is just a slave, and she can only receive the order, and then she muttered: "Girl, I only came out today with an extra gown and a pleated skirt......"

Duanmu Fei raised his hand to interrupt Bi Chan, and said disappreciably: "It's okay, I'll go into the palace to find Cousin Hanxing to 'borrow' it." "Anyway, there are people in her palace.

As she spoke, she also winked at Bi Chan mischievously, and Bi Chan, who was still a little apprehensive, settled down and said: Yes, there are four princesses. It's not the first time that my own girl has entered the palace to "stay".

Bi Cicada blessed Duanmu Fei, her expression was a lot calmer, and she hurriedly went to the carriage to pack up the things she brought out this time, and sent them to Duanmu Fei, and after that, she sent away Duanmu Fei, Anping and Feng Yan at the Yimen, and then took her own carriage back to Duanmu Mansion.

When Duanmufei and the three of them entered the palace, the sun was already slanting to the west, and the three of them quickly divided into two roads, and Feng Yan went down to the five places in Qianxi where the prince lived under the guidance of the inner servant, and Duanmufei followed Anping to Chaohua Palace.

Chaohua Palace is the residence of Anping in the palace when he was not married.

When Emperor Chongming was in power, he left this palace to Anping, so that she could go back to the palace at any time even after marriage. Later, when he ascended the throne, he did not give Chaohua Palace to other princesses for his "kindness".

However, although Chaohua Palace is kept, since he ascended the throne today, Anping has never lived here for more than ten years.

The emperor had ordered someone to hurriedly clean the Chaohua Palace and sent palace people to serve him, but even so, this palace was still filled with a desolate atmosphere.

After An Ping stepped into the gate of the palace, he subconsciously stopped, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar palace in front of him, the bright yellow glazed tiles on the roof sparkled in the sun, dazzling so dazzling that people were almost dazzled.

Anping felt that her eyes were a little sour, she clenched her fists, as if she was suppressing something, her eyes swept around the yard, and finally landed on a willow tree not far away.

An Ping casually flicked it, and the fingertips dyed red with impatiens juice had a tuft of white catkins.

"This willow tree was planted by the royal brother himself when he was a child." An Ping's phoenix eyes narrowed, the expression on her face was complex and deep, and the swaying willow branches in front of her made her eyes seem to ripple.

"In the past, the imperial brother and the main palace used to sit under the willow tree and play chess...... Scarlet, is it okay for you to play a game of chess with this palace? An Ping suddenly turned his head to look at Duanmu Fei and asked.

Duanmu's crimson voice responded.

The two sat down at the stone table under the willow tree, and the palace people of Chaohua Palace hurriedly went to hold the chessboard, and at the same time, the palace maids Yue and Mama Fang brought by Anping hurriedly went to command the palace people to clean up the house, and sent people to find the fourth princess Hanxing to "borrow" clothes.

The people around were busy, coming and going, and they were all too busy to stop, forming a strong contrast with An Ping and Duanmu Fei, who were sitting leisurely at the stone table, as if there was an invisible barrier separating the two from the others.

This is probably the most serious game of chess played by Duanmu Fei, with full attention, and every piece is played just right.

An Ping was a little absent-minded at first, as if she had countless things on her mind, but gradually, her slightly frowning eyebrows relaxed, her attention was on the chessboard, and she was stunned.

Her sunspots are messy, and she is also barely maintaining a "evenly matched" situation thanks to her white son working so hard.

Looking at the dotted chess game in front of him, An Ping smiled, and suddenly brightened.

They have worked hard to get "this game of chess" to this point, what does she mean by being sad here, what has happened has happened, time cannot be reversed, no one can go back to the past, she and Ah Yan, Wuchen, and ...... I can only continue to move forward.

An Ping raised his hand and rubbed the top of Duanmufei's soft hair, and said with a smile: "Fei'er, go, go with the palace for some dinner, you can rest early tonight." I'm afraid I'll have to get up before dawn tomorrow morning. ”

As An Ping said, early the next morning, when the sharp rooster crow just sounded, Duanmu Fei was woken up by the palace people.

The entire palace also woke up, and the palace lamps were lit up in the palace everywhere, and the palace up and down to the emperor and prince, down to the palace people, and the forbidden army were preparing for today's Huangjue Temple.

Halfway through the day, the emperor and queen Chen managed to drive the halo book as a guard of honor, leading the prince and princess, the nobles of the clan, and the civil and military officials and their families above the third grade to the Huangjue Temple.

The sky was still a little gray, and the rising sun was just peeking out of the eastern sky.

The streets along the way have long been cleared by the forbidden army and the brocade guards, and on the streets along the way, the forbidden troops wearing bronze helmets and iron armor are guarding both sides of the street in ten steps, and some brocade guards patrol the road from time to time to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Today, the emperor led his ministers to do things for Emperor Chongming has long been spread throughout the capital, and it has been less than 17 years since the events of that year, and the people who are a little older still remember Emperor Chongming clearly.

At that time, because Emperor Chongming was charged with "killing his father and seizing the throne", no one dared to mention Emperor Chongming, but not mentioning it does not mean forgetting, many people still remember many decrees issued by Emperor Chongming that year, apportioning the land into the mu, reforming the rule of officials, and reducing taxes...... At that time, Beiyan Nanhuai also invaded Dasheng, but he was beaten by Dasheng and didn't dare to commit it, which is like today!

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Chongming was crowned with a crime that was not tolerated that day, he was actually a Ming monarch like the first emperor Emperor Renzong.

Now that Emperor Chongming can finally correct his name, many people are grateful for his outstanding political achievements, and they come over spontaneously to see each other off on the way from the palace to the Huangjue Temple.

In this mighty convoy, Duanmu Fei was sitting in Anping's Zhulun car, along the way, the carriage was surprisingly quiet, Anping was silent, Duanmu Fei did not speak, and there was no need to speak at this time.

Even if she didn't open the curtains, Duanmu Fei knew that Ben Xiao was outside the carriage, and in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage, she could easily identify the sound of Ben Xiao's hooves and the sound of "bang".

The huge convoy walked unhurriedly in the direction of Huangjue Temple, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

In the sound of horses' hooves, footsteps and wheels, the group finally arrived at Shengjue Street, where Huangjue Temple is located, and the speed of the convoy gradually slowed down.

Even the air seemed to be faintly smelling of cigarette smoke.

Suddenly, the Zhulun car that Duanmufei and Anping were riding stopped, and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels outside also stopped, and the surroundings became quieter and quieter.

"Mother." Feng Yan called in a low voice outside the Zhulun car, personally opened the curtain on the carriage, and helped An Ping to get out of the Zhulun car first.

Many people around looked at An Ping in unison, their eyes deep and their expressions subtle.

The surroundings seemed to be quieter, and the already solemn atmosphere added a touch of weirdness.

In the hundreds of eyes around him, An Ping was still calm, elegant and calm, like the peony, the king of flowers, which made people only look up and dare not blaspheme.

Immediately afterwards, Feng Yan diligently helped Duanmu Fei to get off the Zhulun car.

Duanmu Fei was standing beside An Ping, and it was inevitable that he would also receive a lot of scrutiny.

Duanmu Fei only didn't know anything, she raised her eyes and looked around, at this moment the sun had risen, the sky was bright, today's weather was good, a clear sky, a gentle breeze.

The streets were full of people, and the other princesses, princesses, and eunuchs and concubines also got out of the carriages, and the men all got off their horses, and at a glance, the whole street was crowded.

Duanmu Fei's gaze quickly matched Duanmu Xian, Duanmu Jun, Duanmu Heng and others not far behind, and smiled slightly.

Duanmuxian raised his hand and made a gesture to Duanmufei, signaling her to follow Anping with peace of mind.

No matter what the emperor thinks in his heart and what he is guarding against, since the emperor specially sent someone to take the four girls into the palace, it is to let her appear here in the name of An Ping's future daughter-in-law. It's better for their Duanmu family not to do anything that makes the emperor think about it.

Duanmujun smiled at his sister, and was finally relieved to see that his sister was safe.

She only looked at her sister, and didn't notice that Geng Anhao and Geng Tinglian, two brothers and sisters were looking at her back in a daze, and the brothers and sisters had different expressions, one was enthusiastic and the other was cold, forming a stark contrast.

Geng Anhao clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to step forward, and when he withdrew his gaze, the corner of his eye noticed that Geng Tinglian's eyes were a little wrong.

"Fifth sister...... Geng Anhui frowned slightly, wanting to warn Geng Tinglian not to target Duanmujun, but Geng Tinglian was already extremely disappointed in her brother, and didn't want to listen to him say those words to protect Duanmujun, she stroked the veil blown by the wind, and walked to Mrs. Geng's side without looking back.

The slight change in the eyes of their brother and sister didn't attract anyone's attention at all.

At this moment, most of the eyes on this street are on An Ping and the emperor.

The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, came down from the golden luanyu with the support of the inner attendants and stood at the front of everyone.

At the end of Shengjue Street, the two vermilion lacquer gates of Huangjue Temple were wide open, and the gray-haired abbot master led a group of monks to come out of the temple to greet them, and those monks stood in an orderly manner on both sides of the gate, with their hands folded.

The abbot led a group of monks to perform Buddhist rituals to the emperor and empress in unison, and the voices were uniform.

"Your Majesty, please."

Then, the abbot greeted the emperor and queen into the temple without humility or arrogance.

Immediately behind the emperor and queen was a slender figure in a red unicorn robe, followed by the prince and princess, the prince and noble, and the first assistant minister...... Everyone gathered behind them according to their grades, like stars and moons.

The scenes that happened in the Taimiao Temple on March 16 are still clearly engraved in the hearts of many people.

Everyone looked at the big red figure, and couldn't help but say in their hearts: Obviously, after the matter of the edict, Cen Yin's status in the emperor's mind is afraid that it has reached a higher level.

And the Patriotic ......

If Wei Guogong can't give the emperor an explanation for this crime, I'm afraid that the court will really turn the world upside down.

There are also many people who secretly glance at Wei Guogong's father and son, their eyes are deep, and they sigh in their hearts.

Hundreds of people entered the Huangjue Temple unhurriedly, and the long procession flowed like an endless stream.

Most people's hearts seem to be pressed against a boulder, and they all act low-key, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, lest they are too ostentatious and displease the emperor.

After about two tea times, these two or three hundred people entered the temple.

The streets were only filled with the forbidden army and the empty cars, and the Huangjue Temple was packed, these monks had never received such a distinguished guest in a day, and they were all extraordinary, and the monks were also cautious, worried, and only prayed for the smooth and smooth of today's rituals.

The emperor who walked in the front had entered the Daxiong Hall under the guidance of the abbot, and the emperor followed the emperor into the main hall as well as the queen prince, the princess, the princess, the princess, etc., Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei also followed An Ping into the palace.

The others were waiting in the courtyard outside the temple, densely packed.

In front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is a huge gold lacquer statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, the Buddha statue has white eyebrows, eyes slightly closed, and naturally looks down, as if it is looking down on all beings, and the Dharma is solemn and compassionate.

There is a mahogany tablet on the incense table in front of the Buddha statue, and the emperor knows that this is the tablet of the emperor's brother even if he does not look at the words on the tablet.

The emperor's figure instantly stiffened like a wood carving, and his pupils shrank.

The empress and others also felt the emperor's unnaturalness, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing, and a solemn and solemn atmosphere naturally permeated the hall.

At the same time, two rows of monks in yellow robes also entered the hall and stood by on both sides of the hall.

In the hall, it was quiet for a long time, neither the queen nor the abbot dared to urge the emperor, silence spread in the hall, and the outside of the hall was also quiet, everyone stood in the light of the rising sun, not daring to move.

The spring breeze blew, blowing the branches of the sycamore trees around the courtyard, and the inside and outside of the hall seemed quieter.

It's time.

The abbot looked at the leak of the pot and found that the auspicious time had arrived, so he recited the sound of the Buddha.

Then, the solemn chanting of the monks sounded in the hall, and the dull sound of the wooden fish, the rhythm was monotonous, but the atmosphere instantly added a holy and extraordinary taste.

The emperor's body trembled, as if he had just come back to his senses, and he lifted his robe and knelt on the futon in front of him.

"Brother Huang, I can't stand you."
