After several months of traveling from the capital, Sizhen and her entourage finally arrived in Guilin, Guangxi, from the capital where she had lived for 14 years.

The third prince of the line, Yuxuan, and a number of officials and generals in Guangxi went out of Guilin Mansion and greeted him three miles outside the city gate, and it seemed that he was very happy about the arrival of Sizhen, and he looked respectful and obedient.

When I arrived at the main gate of the Dingnan Palace, a large number of people were there to greet Sizhen.

Sizhen got out of the carriage, looked at the past, didn't see the line Guoan, really felt unexpected, as far as she knew, the old general was loyal to their Kong family, this time to ask for a leave, a large part of the reason was to receive a secret letter that she wanted to return to Guangxi, back then, she came to Guilin, if it wasn't for the old general who was the commander of the capital at the time, the group of people in the line Yuxuan didn't know how many blocks to add to her.

For the sake of the Kong family, even for his son, the old general did not show mercy to his subordinates, because of the events of that year, he simply demoted Lu Yuxuan's official position by three levels...... Therefore, Sizhen respects the old general very much, and has never been prejudiced against him because of the ill-intentioned people under the command of Lian Guoan and the actions of Lian Yuxuan......

A veteran like Lian Guoan, who is very virtuous and loyal to their Kong family, will not come to greet her after her retirement, which really made Sizhen not expect.

Could it be that something is wrong, or that you are sick?

As if seeing what Sizhen thought, Yu Xuan said: "My father is a little unwell, and I didn't come to greet the princess today, and I hope the princess will forgive me." ”

After listening to the explanation as expected, Sizhen smiled slightly: "It's okay, Lu Shibo is my elder, and now he has taken a retirement, reasoning, he didn't have to come to meet me, besides, he is still sick." When I have settled down, I will go back to visit Seb. ”

As soon as Sizhen got out of the carriage, the crowd at the gate of Dingnan Wangfu suddenly swarmed over, and the first fat man in his fifties with a white face and long beard knelt down at Sizhen with a pop, kowtowing and crying: "Princess, princess, you are here, the old slave can be regarded as seeing you again...... The old slave Ma Caiwang greeted the princess. ”

When the people behind saw him like this, they immediately knelt down in a big way, and said auspicious words to greet him, and the door of Dingnan Wangfu suddenly became a mess.

Sizhen looked at the man at his feet coldly and did not speak.

The old servants in the palace have long died in the fire more than ten years ago, this Ma Caiwang and a group of subordinates are all after the palace was repaired, and Yuxuan arranged it in the name of his father, although for the sake of the old general's face, these people have not been replaced, but Ma Caiwang and she don't have much master-servant friendship at all, this will cry and wipe tears, who is it for?

Seeing that Sizhen didn't speak, Lu Yuxuan coughed lightly and said: "The princess has been absent for a long time, and the people in the palace are so happy to see you, it can be seen that the princess treats people generously, and even these of them who are slaves are very grateful......"

Will Lu Yuxuan be so kind and promote a good reputation for himself?

Sizhen turned his head and glanced at Yu Xuan suspiciously, and then said, "Are you ...... Don't kneel, let them all get up. ”。

As soon as Sizhen's voice fell, Dai Liangchen, who was standing behind her, took two steps forward to help Ma Caiwang, but Ma Caiwang couldn't stand on the ground, and continued to kowtow on his stomach, Dai Liangchen looked at Sizhen in embarrassment, Gan Jianfeng moved forward from behind Sizhen, and gently supported Ma Caiwang's armpit, only to see Ma Caiwang full of cleverness, and the whole person stood up.

When the people behind Ma Caiwang saw him get up, they also stood up one after another.

Gan Jianfeng's support seemed to frighten Ma Caiwang, he was stunned for a while, and then he hit Sizhen a thousand, bent over and bowed his back and said: "The princess, please get in the car and go directly to the house, I heard that you are coming back, the third prince has already ordered, let us open the gate and invite the princess's carriage to drive directly in, lest the princess walk, come, the old slave waits for the princess to get in the car." ”

Sizhen sneered secretly in her heart, Yu Xuan was really uneasy and kind, if she really wanted her to go in directly in the carriage, she should open the gate and let people answer all the way, how could Ma Caiwang and others stop the car at the door in the name of greeting? What's more, listening to the meaning, she, the person from the Dingnan Palace, is actually obedient to Yuxuan, so where did she put her, the daughter of the king of Dingnan?

This singing and fighting is just to tell her that this fixed domain should be managed by him Yu Xuan.

Thinking that Sun Yanling had not yet come over in Hengzhou, and the situation here was unknown, Sizhen said casually: "No need, since I have come down, I will go in, I am all by boat and car all the way, my legs are numb, just take a walk." ”

Seeing that Sizhen refused to get into the car, Ma Caiwang stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Princess, please calm your anger, the old man has been sick for several days, today he wanted to struggle to come over and wait for the princess to return home, but he really couldn't get up, early this morning, the third prince sent someone to ask for a doctor, and he was busy welcoming the son, it is inevitable that he will make mistakes in the busy, and I hope the princess understands." ”

Although Ma Caiwang deliberately lowered his voice, his voice was not small, and the officials and generals who were close to him could hear it clearly, and after hearing it, they all looked at Sizhen, and a thin man even said loudly: "Her Royal Highness the princess has a noble status, but she shouldn't be so arrogant, after all, Liandu has been in charge of the Dingfan for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, she looks like she doesn't look down on what the Lian family does!" ”

Glancing at Lu Yuxuan, whose face did not change, Sizhen snorted sullenly, and said in a loud voice: "What Steward Ma said seems to have determined who I want to blame, it seems that the person picked by the third prince is really clever and capable!" ”

Lu Yuxuan said innocently: "Where did the princess start with this? He is a person in your house, although he has been in charge of it all these years, but in their hearts, the princess is the master of this Dingnan Palace. The princess said this, but is it to blame the lowly and overstepping the position? ”

As he spoke, he winked.

As soon as he saw his eyes, Ma Caiwang showed a very frightened look, bent his knees and wanted to kneel down and beg Sizhen for mercy, but fortunately, Gan Jianfeng stepped forward with an arrow, stretched out his hand and grabbed one of his arms, and said with a smile on his face: "The hour is not early, Ma Da Steward should hurry up and invite the princess in, let the master stand at the door and speak, what's going on?" ”

Ma Caiwang was caught by Gan Jianfeng, grinned in pain, and hurriedly said: "Since the princess doesn't want to take the carriage, let's take the sedan chair prepared in the house, otherwise, from this main gate to the main courtyard, the road is not close, and the old slave is afraid that the princess will be tired." ”

Sizhen nodded, got on the soft sedan chair, Ma Caiwang breathed a sigh of relief, followed the sedan chair, and led people all the way to the main courtyard.

"Concubine to the princess please ......" On the stone steps of the main house, Aunt Mei stood and stepped down.

At that time, Sun Yanling went to Hengzhou, the old lady was afraid that he would not be taken care of, and asked Aunt Mei to accompany her, after receiving the news that the imperial court asked Sun Yanling to move directly from Hengzhou to Guilin Mansion, she thought that the palace had been uninhabited for a long time, and she had to clean up and welcome the princess for the reason, and was escorted by the guards to take the first step, but she came to Guilin, because Lu Yuan's correspondence was not so fast, Sizhen did not know. Therefore, seeing Aunt Mei appear here, Sizhen couldn't help but be stunned.

Just when Sizhen was stunned, Aunt Mei Xu was so excited that she stepped on the air with one foot and fell forward.

There are six steps in the main house of Dingnan Palace, which is half a person high, and Aunt Mei is afraid that she will fall down immediately.

On the first day of his return, he saw blood, which was obviously not a good sign. Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, she will also feel that she, the main mother, treats the concubine room meanly, and she actually scared the concubine so much that she couldn't even stand on her feet at first sight.

Sizhen came back to her senses and screamed: "Aunt Mei be careful!" And he leaped to his feet.

At this moment, if it was someone else, Aunt Mei's fall would definitely inevitably fall, but Sizhen is a person who practices martial arts, and her movements are sensitive, and she jumped up, she took advantage of the momentum to pounce forward, and fell from turning over to the top of the steps, just catching Aunt Mei who was planted, but because Aunt Mei fell head-on, Sizhen took this connection, and her whole person was equivalent to smashing over, Sizhen stretched out her arm to take advantage of the situation and sent her body away, and she had a back bridge, and after unloading the momentum, she happened to lean on the shoulder of Huang Ying behind her.

Rao is Sizhen is martial arts and handled it properly, but she was also dizzy and dizzy by Aunt Mei, her chest was tight and short of breath, and when she heard the voice of the people in the palace screaming and calling Aunt Mei, how could she not understand, she turned her face to look at Bai Ling, and after winking at her quickly, she closed her eyes and fell into Huang Ying's arms.

Aunt Mei was sent by Sizhen just now, although she did not fall into the air, but she fell on her back on the stone steps, and her back was touched on a stone step, and she was about to faint while taking advantage of the situation, so that others could misunderstand that Sizhen was sending her down, but Sizhen fainted one step ahead of her, and Bailing was shouting and screaming, saying that the princess was knocked unconscious in order to save Aunt Mei, and those people around Sizhen said that Aunt Mei was too careless and tired of the princess, and said that the princess was in a shirt, Regardless of his own safety, it is really a high wind and bright festival......

Gan Jianfeng's eyes were cold, he asked Huang Ying and the others to carry Sizhen into the room, stood up with Yuhua in his arms, and arched at Yuxuan and the others: "Third son, please forgive me, the princess is probably not lightly injured now, I am afraid it is not convenient to greet you today, and please go back first, and wait for the princess to wake up, and then set up a banquet to entertain you." ”

Gan Jianfeng is not only a first-class guard on the palace of Princess Sizhen, but also the long history of the princess's mansion, although it is only a false title of the third grade, but it was given by the empress dowager to wear a peacock feather, in front of these officials and generals in Guilin, he is also a person with a head and a face, Sizhen "fainted", it is appropriate for him to say this.

Lu Yuxuan nodded when he heard this: "In this way, I hope that Gan Changshi will keep an eye on them and take care of the princess, so as not to have that useless person, not to mention that he will fall and bring the princess tired." ”

Before leaving the house, the old lady had instructed Aunt Mei to seize the opportunity to ruin Sizhen's status in the eyes of the soldiers of the Dingvan as much as possible, and help Sun Yanling truly become the ruler of Guangxi...... Today's thing is that Aunt Mei took this opportunity to let the people of Guilin City see how arrogant Sizhen is to these concubines on weekdays, and ruin Sizhen's reputation, but in exchange for such a comment, she can't help but be angry.
