Seven days after the winter solstice, it is a good auspicious day of the zodiac, Yongnian issued the holy decree of marriage in the Qianqing Palace, and after a few days, the gift of the Anwang Mansion was sent into the Changchun Palace from the noon gate. It is nothing more than nine kinds of dowry gifts such as Jiahe, dry lacquer, Song Wei, and Shuangshi prepared according to the customs of Dayan, but the most rare thing is the wild goose that starts at the head, not to mention that it looks exceptionally strong, but it is all intact, and a few hairs have not fallen. Concubine Jing asked the little eunuch next to her to look for a long time before she found out that she had been shot through the eye! Concubine Jing suddenly laughed: "It must be the handiwork of the prince, and there is no one else in Dayan." ”

Since beating Murong Xiang into the water, Luo Yan has always felt guilty, but Concubine Jing has been consistent with her, Xiao Jixiang has a good foundation, and she got better soon after a day of fever, and she went back to class every day in a few days, but there were many eunuchs and palace maids in front of and behind her. Luo Yan felt a little at ease, but she still tried to spend as much time as possible to talk and laugh with Concubine Jing every day. It's just that as soon as she heard that it was a bride price from King An's mansion, she returned to her house early, and she didn't let anyone wait, so she entered the study alone and closed the door tightly. Concubine Jing only thought she was shy, and she just smiled.

On the second day, Concubine Xian, who took over the affairs of the six palaces, came to Changchun Palace to sit once, and these days, in addition to the pearls she sent last time, she would send some food and gadgets from time to time. This time, he was not dressed up, only wearing a light yellow moire-trimmed regular dress, but his face was radiant. As soon as she entered the door, Concubine Xian invited Luo Yan from the West Hall and asked her how she had been living recently. After chatting a few words, Concubine Jing talked about the bride price of King An's Mansion on the first day. Luo Yan's heart was tight, but it was difficult to walk away, so she could only bow her head quietly.

Hearing Concubine Jing talk about how the bride price sent by King An's Mansion was extraordinarily exquisite and rich, Concubine Xian sighed: "Princess An is a person with a heart, she has always done things either or not, and if she wants to do it, she must do her best." ”

Concubine Jing smiled: "I have met Princess An twice, and she is the most rigorous and unsmiling person, and she is really reliable." ”

Concubine Xian showed a hint of amazement, sighed and said, "Who doesn't say that Princess An is a cold-faced and cold-hearted person now, but the people who knew her back then ...... Every time I see her, I feel in a trance, how can I not connect this cold-faced princess with the fire phoenix back then. ”

Luo Yan couldn't help but look up at Concubine Xian in confusion, and Concubine Xian said: "Princess An is the concubine of the Mu family, among our group of noble girls, she was the most lively, fiery temper, and she likes to wear red clothes, so she has the nickname of the fire phoenix." Everyone thought she would enter the palace, but I didn't expect King An to run into the palace and beg the queen mother at that time, I don't know how long it took to grind, the queen mother did his thing, King An also said that he would never set up a side concubine...... "Concubine Xian suddenly smiled again: "Look at me, what are you doing with these old things, I heard that the geese sent this time shot the eyes, and the prince is really a good archery." ”

Luo Yan lowered her head and felt that her heart was getting colder and colder: it turned out that Princess An and King An had such a good story, no wonder the princess became like this later, the deeper the love, the deeper the injury! It is said that the marriage of children is a repetition of the marriage of their parents, it sounds that Princess An of the year is so similar to me at the beginning, so will Princess An's today be my tomorrow? If there is a day, it is really better to marry someone you don't like, there is no love and no hate, even if you survive like Du Fu, at least you can live this life peacefully and peacefully...... It's a pity that in this life, she has no choice at all.

Luo Yan looked at her toes, tried her best to suppress the bitterness on her lips, raised her head and said with a bright smile: "Concubine Xian, I heard that the plum blossoms in your palace are blooming very well this year, do you have any tricks to raising plum blossoms?" ”

Concubine Xian and Concubine Jing looked at each other and smiled, Concubine Xian talked about all kinds of exquisiteness in raising Mei, Luo Yan kept paying attention to her eyes, and found that after she started laughing, her eyes did not look disappointed, but seemed to be relieved, and she thought in her heart: She really said it casually, and there was no malice?

Seeing that the banquet, thanksgiving and other items were carried out, and King An's Mansion sent various cages according to the rules, Luo Yan only felt that her heart was gradually becoming anxious like a fire. At this time, she wished that something else could distract her, but there was no movement inside and outside the Changchun Palace these days, and it seemed that the bloody night before the winter solstice had scared the big ghosts and monsters in the palace back. When the weather is warm, Luo Yan will even take those close palace maids to take a walk in the imperial garden, Qingqing is a few worried, but after a few days, they have not met a mouse.

Such a peaceful time passed day by day, Luo Yan was in addition to the irrevocable premarital anxiety, and the other uneasiness in her heart became deeper and deeper, she didn't believe that she would stop there, so she could only relax her guard on the outside and tighten her guard on the inside, and let Delando go to inquire about the news outside the palace.

On this day, Dailan came back from outside, and her face was slightly different from usual. Luo Yan immediately called her to the study, closed the door and asked, "But what's the news?" ”

Dai Lan shook her head and said, "Above the court, there is nothing unusual. Luo Yangang breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that Dai Lan had bitten her lip uneasily.

Luo Yan's heart froze, and she immediately asked, "Is there really nothing?" No matter what the news, you must not hide it from me. ”

Dai Lan said: "There is indeed nothing to do in the court, but there is news that among today's students and scholars, there is a princess's pen and ink circulation, and some people say that you failed to marry in Dali, and you were disgusted by your husband, so you had to go back to Dayan; And again, the reason why you are still ...... is finished, because the marriage proposal is too cheeky, the Du family can't disobey, but they can't accept you as a daughter-in-law. Your words are Linxing's resentment against Du Jiaerlang. Now there is a discussion, saying that our dynasty takes Dali's abandoned woman as the princess of filial piety, which is too undignified in the Heavenly Dynasty, and the emperor should not be separated from state affairs and family affairs. ”

Luo Yan sat on the chair, and her heart slowly sank to the bottom: No wonder the palace is so calm, it turns out that the work has come down here, but Dayan's atmosphere of openness has been used in this, almost a means of impotence, but it can really kill people invisibly! The power of the Heavenly Master she holds is still effective for the lower-class civilians of Dayan or the children of the Xianbei Six Tribes, but few of the literati of the Han people believe in the Heavenly Master, and they are the real public opinion leaders of this era...... The more I thought about it, the more I felt like a huge stone was pressed against my chest.

After being silent for a long time, Luo Yan asked, "Everyone believes this statement?" ”

Dai Lan said: "Not quite, there are also students who are amazed at the princess's talent, and feel that the Du family is blind." It is precisely because of the difference in views that the controversy has become more and more intense......"

Luo Yan nodded: Gossip and arguments have always been the best means to create hot spots in public opinion, and they are really good means.

Thinking of this, a fighting spirit suddenly burst out from Luo Yan's chest: Don't dare to say anything else, create public opinion, I am a professional! How can you be intimidated by this little trick of the ancients! Think about how many methods of hyping up the news and manipulating public opinion I have seen back then, how can I be disturbed and confused because I became the protagonist of the scandal? If she loses in such a professional field, she won't live two lives in vain!

Luo Yan took a deep breath, waved her hand to let Dai Lan retreat, lowered her head and thought carefully for a long time, then called her in again, and ordered: "Please let His Royal Highness King Ye enter the palace as soon as possible!" ”
