Xiao Xuan was really bored in the palace, she begged Emperor Liu for a long time, saying that she wanted to go to the Great Prince's Mansion or the Sixth Prince's Mansion to see her nephews and nieces.

If it were a normal day, Emperor Liu's concubine couldn't resist Xiao Xuan's begging, and she was willing to ask for a few times, and Emperor Liu's concubine agreed.

But at the moment, the imperial capital is not very peaceful, and the Red Lotus Sect that came out of nowhere has caused one incident after another in the imperial capital. Half a month has passed, and Jing Zhaoyin personally led people to squat, but he couldn't even catch the shadow of those Red Lotus Sect members.

Those members of the Red Lotus Sect were like ghosts that came and went freely, unable to see or grasp.

Emperor Chu was angry several times in the court for this matter.

Jing Zhaoyin couldn't catch anyone because he was in a hurry, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and several bizarre violent deaths occurred in the imperial capital. The deceased all said that the Red Lotus Sect was not in public, and now they are all inexplicably dead at home.

If those dead were ordinary people, it would be fine, but one of them was a son of a noble family.

That person is the second son of the Earl of Yongchang - Liao Yongnian, to say that this Liao Yongnian is really a little unlucky. In the early years, Liao Yongnian and the eldest son of the prince of Zhenguo competed and fought in the Qinglou Pavilion, and Liao Yongnian's legs were broken, which was not conducive to becoming a cripple.

A few days ago, when he was drinking with someone in a restaurant, he said something about the Red Lotus Sect. As a result, within two days, he fell in a dark alley on Luoshi Street, where he was strangled to death, and his tongue was cut out after his death.

This is amazing, Liao Yongnian's mother is Yongchangbo's stepfamily, or the daughter of the eldest princess of Qinghe, and Liao Yongnian's sister is still the second prince's side concubine.

After learning the news that his son had died and that there was still no body, Yongchangbo's stepwife immediately convulsed. However, the eldest princess of Qinghe could hold it, and together with her son-in-law Yongchangbo, she brought back Liao Yongnian's body from Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and went back to be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Liao family.

Therefore, Yongchangbo and Princess Qinghe wrote one after another, asking Emperor Chu to pressure Jing Zhaoyin to find out the real murderer of Liao Yongnian as soon as possible and severely punish the murderer.

Jing Zhaoyin didn't want to catch the murderer quickly, but now he didn't know who the murderer was, but those sect members were really elusive.

The emperor is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he doesn't know how many years there has been no such serious case.

Jing Zhaoyin's already sparse hair on his head was even less than handfuls of hair.

After Liao Yongnian's death, the noble families in the imperial capital couldn't help but be afraid. In fact, it is not only those high-ranking families, but also the ordinary people are frightened.

Every day, every family locks the door from the inside early, turns off the lights and goes to bed in the morning.

The Gaomen family watched their own door closely, and let the strong families in the mansion patrol all over the mansion day and night. For example, there are guards in the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongshou and the palaces of the princes, and the guards are also patrolling day and night.

In the past, the eldest princess and the sixth princess would bring the children in the palace into the palace every month to talk to Emperor Liu. It's just that in this situation now, Emperor Liu's concubine naturally sent someone out of the palace early to bring news, so she didn't have to bring her children into the palace during this time.

So now that Xiao Xuan wants to leave the palace, Emperor Liu's concubine is also resolutely refused.

"Mother, can't I go out during the day and come back during the day?" Xiao Xuan seemed to have no bones, and she was by the side of Emperor Liu, and said coquettishly. "Besides, every time I leave the palace in the past two years, my father will let the pennant guard escort me."

In the past two years, Xiao Xuan has grown older, and Emperor Chu has become more and more important to Xiao Xuan's safety.

"Xuan'er, obedient." Concubine Liu Huang straightened Xiao Xuan's body, looked at her eyes and said. "The imperial capital is not very stable at the moment, and the court is also making a fuss about these things. You stay in the palace in peace first, if you are really bored, go to find Ning Guiren to ride a horse. Did you crave a barbecue a while ago? Today I asked the kitchenette to set up a shelf in the yard and bake it for you. ”

In order to appease Xiao Xuan, Emperor Liu's concubine made a lot of conditions.

After Ning Guiren left the palace and Xiao Xuan became acquainted, although the two were a little different in age, they had the same smell. Xiao Xuan didn't want to study and learn calligraphy well, Ning Guiren didn't want to compete for favor and have children, both of them had a heart that liked to play, and they naturally became New Year's friends.

Ning Guiren, who grew up in Saibei, is a woman, but her riding and archery skills are very outstanding, and she is not inferior to men at all.

When Ning Guiren knew that Xiao Xuan wanted to learn riding and archery, he taught her hand in hand. Therefore, now Xiao Xuan's riding and archery skills can't even be compared to the princes.

Xiao Xuan is playful by nature, and she has to go to the horse farm every few days to ride a horse.

It's just that in recent years, Emperor Liu's concubine was worried that she often hurt her demeanor by riding a horse, and she was not allowed to ride a horse often.

"Well, I made a note of it."

After noon, I took a nap.

Xiao Xuan took snacks and went to find Emperor Chu.

When he was about to pass through the Imperial Garden, Xiao Xuan, who was walking in front, saw a familiar figure. Xiao Xuan was startled and quickly stopped.

The green forest behind her, which was very close to her, didn't stop all of a sudden, and hit Xiao Xuan headlong.

"Oh, princess, why did you stop all of a sudden?" Lu Lin covered his sore nose and asked puzzledly.

"Shhh Xiao Xuan lowered her voice as if she had done a ghost, covered Lu Lin's mouth, and dragged her back.

He made another gesture and motioned to the palace maids who followed him to quickly retreat.

Like thieves, their master and servant hid behind a lush tree.

"Whew, it's gone." Xiao Xuan looked at it several times before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

"What did the princess see?" Green Forest asked.

"Nothing, let's go." Xiao Xuan didn't want to say more, and walked out directly.

The person who walked over just now was Xiao Lu.

In the middle of last year, Liu Changjun suddenly proposed that his mother Ouyang go to a family to propose marriage.

Ouyang, who was in a hurry to turn gray for Liu Changjun's delayed marriage, was overjoyed when she heard the news, and after being happy for a long time, she remembered to ask Liu Changjun which family of girls she had a fancy.

Liu Changjun, who has always been quiet and indifferent, was asked by the Ouyang family, and he blushed silently.

The Ouyang family was shocked, you must know that her little son is always moody. It's good now, I just asked him a word, and I blushed like that.

Since Liu Changjun was five years old, she has not seen him blush.

She hurriedly asked her son, only to know that the girl Liu Changjun fancied had a normal family background, and the girl's father was born in a low-end family in the imperial capital, and for some reason, it was only a county in the suburbs of the imperial capital.

Speaking of which, Liu Changjun is the grandson of the eldest princess of Yongshou, and his father is leading the troops outside, but it can be regarded as a positive second grade. Liu Changjun chose such a girl, and her family background is really a little unworthy.

However, Ouyang's background is also not obvious, and the most important thing for the eldest princess of Yongshou when she married the two was not her family background, otherwise the Ouyang family would not have married into the eldest princess's mansion so smoothly.

Liu Changjun has looked down on the girls selected for him by his family over the years, and everyone in the Liu family is used to children, thinking that there is no obstacle to a man's late marriage, and he has never been forced to get married.

It's just that the eldest princess in the palace is eyeing him, and although the Ouyang family doesn't urge him, he is eager in his heart.

Now that Liu Changjun has taken the initiative to relax and is willing to get married, the Ouyang family is not unsatisfied. As long as there is no major problem with the girl's conduct and appearance, it is okay to have a lower family background.

"Alright, I've written it down." Liu Changjun's marriage Ouyang family can't be arbitrary, and he still has to inform the eldest princess of Yongshou and her husband before he can make plans. "I still have to talk to your grandmother and father about your marriage. If the girl you fancy is really good, your mother will help you marry her back. ”

"Thank you mother."

In order for his son's marriage to go smoothly, Ouyang's actions were quite efficient

That night, Ouyang immediately wrote a letter to her husband, who was stationed abroad.

Early the next morning, she was the first to rush to the courtyard of the eldest princess of Yongshou. She came early, and the eldest princess of eternal life had not yet gotten up.

"You're early today." When the eldest princess of Yongshou got up, Ouyang personally went in to serve the eldest princess of Yongshou to wash. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Mother is clever." Ouyang said with a smile. "Mother, Changjun came home yesterday and said that he had taken a fancy to a girl from the family and wanted me to come to the door to propose."

"Really?!" When the eldest princess of Yongshou heard this, she immediately asked happily. "Don't lie to me."

"How dare I deceive my mother for such a big thing." Ouyang smiled embarrassedly. "But I asked Changjun and learned that the girl's family background is not obvious, and I am afraid that she will not be compatible with Changjun."

"Family background is not important, if I really want Changjun to marry a noble girl, it is better to let him recommend himself to Princess Shang a few years ago. No matter how you say it, it is all the blood of the Heavenly Family, and there is no more noble one. The eldest princess of Yongshou said happily. But marriage is a lifelong event, and I would rather let my children live a smooth and happy life in the future. Therefore, it only depends on the girl's character and whether Changjun really likes it. ”

"Don't you know Changjun's mother? If he doesn't really like it, where will he ask me to go to someone's house to propose marriage. Ouyang said. I thought I might as well send my strict-mouthed men to inquire first, and then quietly invite the girl to the house to show her mother. As long as there are no major problems, hurry up and settle this marriage. ”

"Good, good, good." Over the years, Liu Changjun's marriage has not only been embellished in the heart of the Ouyang family, but also a matter in the heart of the eldest princess of Yongshou. "Do as you say."
