Qingluan didn't expect that before Chaoyang set off for Nanzhao, her family received the emperor's holy decree.

On the holy decree, let his father Wei Dehou leave Beijing on the same day and go to the fief.

However, there was no mention of his stay with his mother.

The meaning of this decree could not be more obvious, that is, it was not intended for her mother and daughter to go with her.

How could the emperor's uncle let her family be separated from each other from now on?

After receiving the holy decree, the most angry person was the eldest princess.

Does her good brother want to stay in Beijing and stay a widow for the rest of his life?

So, the eldest princess took her daughter into the palace and asked to meet the emperor.

However, after begging for half of the begging, the emperor was only willing to see his own sister.

Qingluan was alone by the imperial pond to watch the pond full of koi water lilies.

"Yo, isn't this Jianing County?" A voice sounded behind Qingluan.

Qingluan turned to look, only to see Xiao Yan standing beside Princess Fushou and Fang Qingru, giggling at her, and said in a contemptuous tone:

"It's a good thing that the eldest brother didn't marry you, otherwise he would have married back a broom star."

Qingluan glanced at the three of them, and said with a light smile: "No matter what star is stronger than you bedbug, Xiao Yan, if you don't have your eldest brother sacrificing his blood to support you, I'm afraid you don't know which pig's nest you fall in." ”

In his previous life, when he was in Chenzhou, Xiao Yan was returned home by Zhang Fu for some reason, and lived in Xiao Mansion for a while.

Not long after, this Xiao Yan married someone inexplicably, and she didn't know who she was marrying.

At that time, he was imprisoned in the courtyard by Xiao Boyan and couldn't go out, so he didn't know everything.

But rumors still reached her ears that Sister Xiao had done something to make her husband's family ashamed, so she was suspended.

It is reported that Xiao Boyan is in charge, and she is married to someone else.

"You!" Xiao Yan was angry.

Don't look at her mean and cheap, she really fights with Jianing, but she always loses the upper hand.

She couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and immediately said without choosing a word: "What are you! It's just a ...... discarded by my big brother."

Before the words fell, Xiao Yan's chest had been kicked by Jianing, and the whole person flew out and landed heavily on the ground covered with tiles.

"Wow......" Xiao Yan cried in pain. The two palace maids hurriedly went to help.

"Jianing! Licentious! Princess Fushou said angrily: "How dare you ......?"

Qingluan flicked his robe and chuckled: "Didn't Princess Fushou hear that cheap maid insulting me, the lord of the county?" Is it just because she's your cousin and niece that you can despise the emperor's authority? ”

Princess Fushou's face turned red, and she pointed at her and said, "You are too rampant! How can the imperial sister teach such unruly people! ”

Qingluan smiled coldly, his eyes swept over Xiao Yan, who was supported by the palace maids, and sighed: "Princess Fushou, if you are dissatisfied with my mother, you can just talk to her in person, how can my tutor not allow others to slander at will."

However, if I hear any foul language flowing out of the mouth of the Xiao family again, it will not be this kick. ”

Princess Fushou raised her eyebrows, "You dare to threaten this palace?" ”

"How dare Jianing threaten the princess, you are Xiao Boyan's cousin."

Qingluan helped the golden hairpin with sideburns, raised his eyebrows and said: "In case Xiao Boyan soars, won't we, the descendants of the surname Li, be settled by him and be unlucky?" ”

Princess Fushou's face froze, and she immediately scolded again: "What are you doing!" ”

"I'm not nonsense, mine is what if. Alas, King Yue is only thirteen years old this year, and there are still five years to reach adulthood. ”

Qingluan smiled and blessed Princess Fushou: "Jianing won't accompany Princess Luan, farewell!" ”

and walked away.

Xiao Yan, who was helped up by the palace maid, listened to Jianing's inexplicable words, tried the tears in the corners of her eyes, pointed at her and said to Princess Fushou: "Aunt Cousin, she is already crazy, hurry up and let someone arrest her." ”

Princess Fushou frowned and glared at her, and shouted, "Shut up!" ”

Jianing's inexplicable words were only understood by her.

Not bad! His own brother is only thirteen years old, and even if he wins the throne, he may not be able to sit firmly.

But how did Jianing know this?

Princess Fushou suddenly felt a cold hair on her back stand up. But when I think about it, I feel impossible.

Jianing must be angry that she can't help Xiao Yan by herself, thinking that King Yue will go to the fiefdom at the age of eighteen, and the mother concubine will definitely go with her at that time, so there will be no one to support Xiao Yan.

Jianing, she must mean this!

Princess Fushou returned to Concubine Xiao's palace, Jinyi Palace, with a nervous mood.

By the edge of the imperial pool, Qingluan was angry with the group of women, so he walked to a wind pavilion and blew the wind.

After a while, I saw the eldest prince Li Tong walking over with two eunuchs.

"Cousin! So you're here! ”

Li Tong was very happy to see Qingluan, and ran a few steps to the Wind Pavilion.

"Why are you here today?" Qingluan asked, pinching a handkerchief and testing the sweat on his forehead.

Li Tong is accustomed to studying in the Wude Palace, and he can't enter the inner palace to see his mother if he doesn't have a rest every five days.

"Today is my father's exam to teach me homework."

Li Tong took Qingluan's hand and said, "Cousin, the puppets you brought me that time were so funny, but those people refused to show me, can you go to me and play for me?" ”

Seeing his cousin's pleading face, Qingluan's heart softened, and nodded: "Okay, but only for a while." ”

After seeing the emperor's uncle, my mother estimated that she would go to Fengyi Palace to see the queen's mother.

Qingluan would rather stand outside than go to the queen's palace, just because of the matter of joining forces with Helian Mingyu.

It is estimated that the queen mother does not want to see her at this time.

After all, it's all a sure thing, and if it is suddenly ruined by a divination, everyone will not look good.

Li Tong excitedly pulled Qingluan's sleeve and went to the Wude Hall together.

Not far away, a black-robed figure watched silently for a moment, and then followed along.

The Wude Hall is a place where the princes live and study.

There are more than a dozen courtyards in the entire palace area, which are inhabited by the emperor's younger brother Li Huai, the eldest prince Li Tong, and two seven or eight-year-old princes.

Li Tong's dormitory is a separate place, surrounded by many Praetorian Guards, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace are all carefully selected by Wei Dehou when he was in office.

At this time, Chen Zhanshi, who was in charge of the affairs of Li Tong's palace, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the eldest prince leading the county lord of Jianing to come.

"Master Chen, I'm just here to take a look." Jianing said to Chen Zhan.

She knew that the auxiliary officials in Li Tong's palace all taught him as a prince, and they were very strict with his words and deeds, and she must have been a little surprised and dissatisfied when she saw her visit at this moment.

"That being the case, Lord Shire, please." Master Chen arched his hand towards Qingluan, then turned around and walked out of the room.

Today, the two princes didn't assign homework to the eldest prince, so he didn't want to do anything.

As soon as Li Tong saw that Chen Zhan was gone, he immediately asked the eunuch to bring the box where the puppet was placed, and also moved a white gauze screen.

"Cousin, show me the act." Li Tong couldn't wait.

Qingluan smiled, "Where can I act well alone." ”

"I don't care! Hurry up, and they'll be back in a moment. Li Tong sat on the chair with an expectant expression.

Qingluan had no choice, so he ordered Ru to take a lamp and pick some puppets to perform.

The eunuchs closed the door according to the instructions of the eldest prince, and the windows were also covered with curtains, so that the room was instantly dark, and only the candlelight beside Qingluan was lit.

Qingluan thought about the plot carefully and slowly acted out a story of purple clothes, but the plot was slightly changed by her.

This story was read when she was twelve years old, and it was also the first time she watched a light shadow play, and she has been deeply impressed since then.

At this time, Xiao Boyan also entered the house and stood in the dark and watched her quietly.

The white curtain, the orange candlelight, the girl knelt behind the screen, holding a leather puppet.

Xiao Boyan seemed to see that bright noon, a girl with a smile like a flower running in front of him, holding a begonia fruit in her hand,

"Brother Boyan, this is very sweet, give you a taste......"
