，

Wuyang quietly looked at the westward slanting sun outside the window for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he was a little nostalgic, a little missing, and a little hesitant.

After a while, she spoke: "Qingfeng, you go to the palace on behalf of the palace, go to see the queen mother, and tell the queen mother that the palace is going back to Jianning Temple." ”

It has been almost two months since Wuyang returned to Beijing, leaving only Princess Jian and Jun Lingxi's mother and daughter in Jianning Temple, and she is also a little worried.

She is now the daughter-in-law of the monarch, and she has her own responsibilities as the eldest daughter-in-law.

Originally, she never left, on the one hand, she was worried about the Xie family, and on the other hand, she was also worried about the queen, and now Cen Yin has not killed the Xie family, so naturally he will not make a move against a queen who is no longer a threat.

Now that the Xie family's affairs are over, Wuyang feels that he should also go back to Jianning Temple.

Of course, Wuyang can also rely on Duanmu Fei to enter the palace again, but after thinking about it, let the queen mother calm down again, and if there is no Xie family to provoke the queen mother in the future, the queen mother should be able to figure it out slowly.

Wuyang withdrew his gaze from afar, and quietly looked at the purple magnolia that was blooming in the courtyard.

Magnolia is the queen's favorite flower because there is an "orchid" in the queen's name.

In the courtyard, the spring breeze is slow, and the purple magnolia flowers tremble slightly on the branches, exuding bursts of fragrant fragrance.

Wuyang looked at those purple magnolia flowers in a daze, and many memories of the past flashed through his mind.

I hope that the next time she returns to Beijing, the queen mother has already figured it out!

Seeing that the corners of Wuyang's lips curled slightly, Qingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly took the order: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Qingfeng left in a hurry, leaving Wuyang alone in the room with a dazed expression.

Little by little, the sun set in the west, and Wuyang sat motionless, as if she had no idea of the passage of time.

When the sun was halfway down, Qingfeng came back from the palace.

Qing Feng's face was a little strange, and Wu Yang guessed what must have happened in the palace at a glance.

Sure enough—

"Your Royal Highness, the queen wanted to intercede for Chengengong, so she went to the Heart Cultivation Palace to ask to see the emperor, but she was stopped and failed to enter the Heart Cultivation Palace."

The queen mother was so angry that she almost fainted and was carried back to Fengluan Palace. The queen mother fell ill again, and she had already been seen by the imperial doctor, saying that it was no big problem and that she needed to be carefully raised. ”

As soon as he heard that the queen was sick, Wuyang stood up suddenly, clutching the handkerchief in his hand with both hands.

She wanted to go into the palace to see the queen mother......

But she had only taken half a step, and then she forcibly retreated, and sat down again.

Wuyang closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were slightly red, and he ordered: "Qingfeng, go and pack your luggage, we will leave early the day after tomorrow." ”

Her voice was slightly hoarse and dry.

"Yes, Your Highness." The only thing Qingfeng can do is to receive orders.

The courtyard was busy from that night until the early hours of the next morning.

As Wuyang planned, Wuyang and his party set off in the early morning of February 20, and Duanmufei got up early in the morning on that day and went to see Wuyang leave Beijing in person with Hanxing.

At this time, it was only halfway through, and there were not many people near the West City Gate, but Wuyang's Zhulun was driving slowly, and Qingfeng knew that the three masters had a lot to say, so he specially instructed the horseman to walk slowly.

"Sister Wuyang, look, this is the paper kite that my sister and I tied for you, if you are bored and bored, you can go out of the temple with Xiaoxi to release the paper kite and scatter your heart."

"And this, this is the peach blossom tea I made recently, it's fragrant!"

"This is a snack that my sister made for you when she got up in the morning, and it's still hot, you can eat it on the way."

Although he knew that Wuyang lacked nothing, Duanmu still brought a lot of things.

Han Xing also brought some things to Wuyang, "Sister Huanghuang, this is the jewelry that the palace asked people to give you, you see, these jewelry are all hand-drawn by the palace, isn't it very beautiful?" ”

"Sister Eldest Emperor, you have to keep filial piety, so the palace only let the master make silver jewelry and white jade jewelry."

"Even if you keep filial piety, you can also dress up yourself! Dress up beautifully to be in a good mood! ”

Han Xing and Duanmu Fei tacitly did not mention the affairs of the Xie family, and casually talked about some inconsequential topics.

When he was about to reach the West City Gate, there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind the Zhulun Chariot, and the street was also in an uproar, and the Zhulun Chariot and a group of accompanying guards temporarily avoided the side of the street.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, and hundreds of forbidden soldiers wearing bronze helmets and iron armor galloped past, mighty, led by a young general, a silver-white armor shining in the light of the rising sun.

The eighteen-year-old and nineteen-year-old man was heroic under the bright armor, like a sharp sword out of the box, flashing with a killing aura.

Wuyang looked at the other party's familiar and handsome side face and raised his eyebrows.

Not only Wuyang recognized him, but Hanxing also recognized Mu Jinfan.

Mu Jinfan obviously also noticed the Zhulun car parked on the side of the road, glanced at Wuyang and Hanxing, nodded slightly, and rode away without stopping.

The guards at the west gate also gave priority to Mu Jinfan and his party, and after a while, the group went out of the city gate and went west along the wide official road.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves faded away, and at the same time, the passers-by in the streets also moved again, and those who went out of the city went out of the city, and those who entered the city entered the city, and those who set up stalls set up stalls......

The Zhulun also continued to drive towards the city gate under the sound of the horseman's whip, and Wuyang was still looking at the direction in which Mu Jinfan and his party were leaving, guessing in his heart: Could it be that Mu Jinfan is going to the north to support?!

Duanmu Fei guessed what Wuyang was thinking, and took the initiative to say, "He should go to the north." ”

Wuyang and Hanxing looked at Duanmu Fei in unison.

Han Xing knew that her grandfather Duanmu Xian would talk to Duanmu Fei about court affairs from time to time, she may have heard some words, and asked casually, "What did you listen to your grandfather?" ”

Duanmu Fei nodded, leaned over to the two, and said in a low voice, "He wants to send a batch of firearms to the north." ”

Duanmuxian told her about this matter two days ago, Duanmuxian was full of praise for the new type of firecracker, and after hearing it, Duanmufei was almost a little weak-hearted, and didn't dare to tell Duanmuxian that these firecrackers were designed by her and given to Feng Yan.

Not to mention, in addition to the firecracker, she also sent the design drawings of the Fengyan artillery......

Wuyang raised his eyebrows suspiciously. The firearms that Dongchang searched from the Cheng'en Mansion are well known, and the disposal of these firearms has also attracted attention, as far as she knows, these firearms have all been destroyed a few days ago.

Wuyang is a smart person, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood that the batch of firecrackers sent to the north was not the batch that was searched from the Cheng'en Mansion.

Wuyang closed his eyes, and couldn't help but feel sarcastic in his heart.

She can imagine that her eldest uncle Xie Wan secretly got a batch of firearms must also be to win the heir, he thought that these firearms would be able to determine the storage position, but he didn't want him to just sit in the well and watch the sky, the imperial court had more firearms, and even more powerful, so Cen Yin gave up the batch of firearms in the Chengen Mansion.

Wuyang opened the curtain again and looked in the direction where Mu Jinfan left, at this moment, the figure of Mu Jinfan and his party had already disappeared at the end of the official road.

Wuyang hooked his lips slightly.

In any case, with the firearms sent by Mu Jinfan, the strength of the northern army will definitely increase, and the battle situation in the north will definitely be more favorable to Dasheng.

Duanmu Fei held one of Wuyang's hands and said with a smile: "Sister Wuyang, the northern border will definitely be victorious soon, and Junran will return triumphantly then!" ”

Not only the north, but also the south will soon have good news.

Thinking of him who was now thousands of miles away, Duanmufei's eyes shone brightly.

Wuyang let out a low "um" with a soft expression. Yes, the north will soon be victorious, and Junran will soon return triumphantly!

The carago didn't know when it left the city gate, and went west along the official road without hurrying.

Qing Feng reminded them outside that they had arrived near the Sanli Pavilion, and Han Xing was reluctant to part, and said, "Sister Huanghuang, let's send you to the Shili Pavilion." ”

Han Xing grabbed Wuyang's other hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Emperor, when will you and Xiaoxi come back?" You're not here, I want to kill you. She stared at Wuyang with an eager expression.

"You girl!" Wuyang stretched out his finger and pointed at Hanxing's forehead, picking out her intentions, "You, you want to find Xiaoxi to play with you!" If you're such an adult, you still know how to play! "This girl doesn't want to think that Jun Lingxi is still guarding filial piety, even if she returns to Beijing, she can't accompany Hanxing to bow, play polo, hunt or something.

"Why!!" Han Xing raised his chin without any intention and said, thinking beautifully: What's wrong with being fun, anyway, Cousin You said that she was good like this.

Han Xing moved her eyebrows, and Wuyang knew what she was thinking, and nodded on her forehead again speechlessly.

The two sisters laughed, but they washed away the sadness of parting a little.

Han Xing didn't realize that Wuyang didn't answer herself at all when she would return to Beijing, but Duanmu Fei knew that Wuyang and they would not return to Beijing until the day when Jun Ran returned triumphantly.

It's almost there, too. Duanmu hooked his lips and smiled, they will all be back again soon.

Han Xing and Duanmu Fei sent Wuyang to Shili Pavilion all the way, and said goodbye to each other, standing in place to watch Wuyang and his entourage leave.

The golden red sun hangs high in the blue sky, the air in the suburbs is exceptionally fresh, and the warm sunlight is very comfortable on people.

Han Xing has always been in mood that comes and goes quickly, took a deep breath of the fragrant air, cheered up, and said with a smile: "Cousin Scarlet, let's go back!" ”

After that, the cousins got into the carriage of the Duanmu family and returned to the capital the same way.

At this time, it was already more than halfway through, and the capital was much more lively than when they left the city.

Duanmu Fei instructed the groom to send Hanxing back to the palace first, and the carriage went all the way east, heading in the direction of the palace.

The cousins talked and laughed all the way, talking about materials, jewelry, snacks, drama books, Feipian, Little Fox and Little Starling...... The two seem to have endless topics to talk about.

After the carriage had passed four or five streets, the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down, and there was a faint noise outside.

Han Xing curiously opened the curtain and looked out, blinking, only to find that they had come to the middle street of the town.

A few zhang away is the Cheng'en Mansion, no, now the plaque that reads "Cheng'en Mansion" has been removed, and the bright vermilion lacquer gate has been indiscriminately pasted with two seals.

Since the Xie family has been deprived of the title of Duke Chengen, this Guogong Mansion will naturally no longer belong to the Xie family in the future.

At the gate of the mansion stood six or seven emaciated, richly dressed women, ranging in their early twenties to thirty-six or seventeen years of age, all of whom looked dazed and dazed on their unpowdered faces.

On the side of the street stood some good passers-by, pointing at the sealed gate and the women, and talking to each other.

"Who are those mothers-in-law? Why are they all standing stupidly at the door of Xie's house? A slightly sharp female voice came from the right rear of the carriage.

Immediately, someone replied with great interest: "I heard that those are the daughters of the Xie family who were abandoned by their husbands!" Also, the Xie family has committed a mortal crime, who would dare to leave the Xie family's daughter at home! ”

"Oh, I look weird and pathetic. They are not the ones who are the offenders. Seeing them standing stupidly like this, it is estimated that there is nowhere to go! ”

"What are you doing with poor people? They have enjoyed wealth and prosperity anyway! Look at the jewelry on their bodies, any one of them is enough for us ordinary people to live comfortably for several years! ”

"That's right. As the saying goes, an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. ”

“……”

As Duanmufei's carriage drove away, the conversation behind gradually became indistinct.

Duanmu Fei looked back at the thin figures of the Xie women, frowning slightly.

Han Xing also frowned, and said angrily: "Although it is said that there are eggs under the nest, the sin is not as good as marrying a girl!" The Xie family has just been convicted, and these people can't wait to drive people back, hmph, these in-laws of the Xie family are really not a good thing! ”

According to the laws of Dasheng, in addition to punishing the nine clans for the great crime of rebellion, no matter what the crime is, it is not as guilty as marrying a daughter.

Duanmufei withdrew his gaze, lowered the curtains, and said in a deep voice: "I heard my grandfather say that the girls in the house that the Xie family has picked out for the girls in the house for more than ten years are all families that are helpful to the Xie family. The two parties themselves are married for the sake of interests, and now there is no connection of interests, and they may even be affected, and the other party naturally can't wait to get rid of the relationship! ”

Since ascending the throne today, the Xie family has become a queen, and only then has to be awarded the title of Engong, which is quite a bit of the taste of a chicken dog ascending to heaven. In the past 18 years, in order to consolidate their position, the Xie family has married everywhere in various provinces in Beijing, seeking only profit.

The Xie family only looks at interests, and now they will be abandoned by interests, and there is a cause and effect.

That is, Xie Xiangwei was lucky, and after leaving, Wuyang came to the door in person and forced the Xie family to remove her from the clan, so she was not affected.

Han Xing nodded thoughtfully, "It's still my grandfather's foresight!" "Look at how good the cousin-in-law my grandfather chose for Cousin Heng, and how good Cousin Scarlet and Cousin Yan match!

At this moment, Han Xing completely forgot that Duanmu Fei's marriage was given by the emperor, and it had nothing to do with Duanmu Xian at all.

At this time, the carriage turned right and went in the other direction, Han Xing's body swayed slightly with the turn of the carriage, and she screamed "oops".

Duanmu raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

Han Xing remembered another Xie daughter, her third sister-in-law.

"Cousin Scarlet," Han Xing elbowed Mu Fei's waist at the top, and smiled sheepishly, obviously there were no outsiders in the carriage, and she deliberately lowered her voice, "Xie Xiangling is also the daughter of the Xie family!" ”

Xie Xiangling is a married daughter and a princess, so it stands to reason that she will not be implicated in this case, but everyone knows that the reason why the third prince Mu Youjing married Xie Xiangling was to marry the Xie family and seek help to win the heir, and now that the Xie family has fallen to this point, will Mu Youjing, who is the supreme interest, also divorce his wife? !

That's right! Han Xing clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes shining like jewels. Speaking of which, no one in the Dasheng royal family has ever divorced his wife, will she, the third emperor brother, open the first case!

"It would be fun if the Third Emperor Brother really dared to divorce his wife...... It's not right, it's not good to divorce your wife, so don't divorce your wife! ”

"Xie Xiangling and the Third Emperor Brother are really a perfect match, what pot with what cover, the two of them will have to be good for a long time, so as not to harm others again!"

The more Han Xing talked, the happier he became, and he threw a wink at Duanmu Fei, trying to seduce her, "Cousin Fei, you might as well go into the palace with this palace to live for a while, there must be 'lively' in the past two days!" ”

"Don't!" Duanmu shook her head firmly, "I'm busy!" ”

Although she also believed that Hanxing was right, but in order to see the excitement, she entered the palace and was subject to the rules, which was not worth it.

"Busy?" Hanxing raised her eyebrows, doesn't she know about her cousin? "Are you busy sleeping, busy reading a play book, busy putting paper kites, or busy ......"

"I'm busy embroidering a cloak for Ah Yan!" Duanmu Fei said without any heart, "Peacocks are difficult to embroider!" ”

Peacocks are really hard to embroider! Han Xing nodded with concern, just thinking about the color of the peacock, she felt a headache, and gave Duanmu Fei a sympathetic look.

"Cousin Scarlet, are you really going to embroider a peacock for Cousin Yan?" Han Xing leaned his face in the direction of Duanmu Fei again, and couldn't help asking.

Her expression was a little strange, as if she was snickering at joy and expectation. Oops, looking at Cousin Yan wearing a cloak embroidered with an open-screen peacock, that's really, really......

It's so much fun and so exciting!

Just thinking about it, Han Xing's eyes lit up amazingly.

Duanmu Fei always felt that Han Xing's eyes and tone were a little strange, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't this the idea you gave me?" ”

"......" Han Xing choked and nodded subtly, "Of course Bengong remembers." ”

This was indeed her idea, but she was just thinking about Cousin Yan's "opening the screen" at the time, and said it casually, but she didn't expect her proposal to really be accepted.

Han Xing was entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he wanted to pull Duanmu Fei into the palace, and on the other hand, he really wanted to see the finished product of the cloak.

In the end, it was the latter that prevailed over the former.

Han Xing cleared his throat and solemnly admonished, "Cousin Scarlet, then you should embroider a cloak for Cousin Yan." Don't be lazy, next time Hongu goes to your house to see ...... When the time comes, you won't be without a few stitches. ”

Duanmu Fei couldn't help but think of the cloak that hadn't been embroidered for a few stitches, and suddenly felt a little weak, but he still nodded again and again.

In the midst of laughter, the carriage came to the gate of the palace.

Han Xing was reluctant to get out of the carriage, thinking that he might be able to let Duanmu Fei enter the palace to embroider a cloak.

Duanmu Fei saw her thoughts and coaxed her: "Cousin Hanxing, I will rely on you to be my 'eyeliner' in the palace!" You'll have to talk to me about it next time you leave the palace. Duanmu leaned softly on Han Xing's body and coquettishly.

Thinking that he was the eyeliner that his cousin had planted in the palace, Han Xing felt funny, laughed out loud, and nodded again and again: "Mmmmmmmm ”

The cousins laughed and laughed in the carriage.

Hanxing's eldest palace maid Congzhen had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, and she was relieved to see the Duanmu family's carriage coming.

To be honest, she was really afraid that as soon as the fourth princess left the palace, she would refuse to return to the palace like a bird flying out of the cage.

Han Xing rubbed with Duanmu Fei in the carriage for a while, and Duanmu Fei also agreed to draw a paper kite for her, so he got off the carriage slowly and followed Zhen back to the palace.

After that, the carriage of the Duanmu family also followed and reversed direction and drove in the direction of Duanmu Mansion.

Han Xing yawned lazily as he walked towards the palace, revealing a bit of laziness in his description. Congzhen thoughtfully and gently proposed: "Your Highness, you can go back to Micuizhai to rest for a while." ”

This morning, in order to send off Wuyang, Hanxing got up when the rooster crowed, no wonder he is sleepy now.

Han Xing answered, and when she walked to the Qianqing Gate, she suddenly remembered something and ordered: "Congzhen, you ask people to inquire about the third imperial sister-in-law in the palace." ”
