The night of Taiji Palace is extremely beautiful, but if you remove those bright lights, only endless darkness and loneliness remain.

No laughter, no crying.

Countless lives existed silently in the Taiji Palace, and then disappeared silently. Only a few people will leave a mark on the historical materials, and more will dissipate in the long river of history with the wind.

Li Ke accompanied Xiao Xiang and slowly walked back to the Manna Palace, Xiao Xiang was silent along the way, and he was speechless.

Along the road, there are juju flowers, which bloom in full bloom in accordance with the scene, and even in the dim candlelight, it looks very brilliant. At this moment, the bright moon is in the sky, as clear as water. The white moon was reflected on the steps on Xiao Xiang's head, like a star falling into the world.

Xiao Xiang's heart was extremely depressed, as if he had pressed the boulder, and he couldn't breathe no matter how heavy he sank. She didn't want to be sent to get married, and Li Shimin naturally wouldn't be willing to let her go...... But in this way, she is going to marry Fang Yiai.

For the emperor, no matter how much he loves and loves his daughter, she is just a daughter.

The daughter is a tool used to consolidate the imperial power.

What's more, Li Shimin must not think that marrying him to Fang Yiai is a bad thing. A wry smile appeared on Xiao Xiang's face, this was the sadness in ancient times. Women do not have the right to choose the person they love, three from four virtues...... What a terrible word.

Her brow furrowed and she sighed unconsciously.

"Don't be afraid," Li Ke's voice sounded to the side, "Father won't let you go and kiss." ”

Xiao Xiang turned his head, Li Ke was stretching out his hand, which happened to caress her cheek, his fingers were so cold that there was no trace of temperature. Xiao Xiang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and subconsciously took a step back.

The sky was already dark, and even if there was a candle flame, they could not fully see each other's expressions. Xiao Xiang only felt that Li Ke's whole person was hidden in the dark, and he could only see his outline clearly and hear his breathing.

His breathing sound seemed a little rapid, which was different from the past, and before Xiao Xiang could react, he spoke again: "I know that you won't like that bereavement either, but if Tu Fan really invited Princess Shang this time, I'm afraid that my father will definitely let you let him." He stepped forward and suddenly held Xiao Xiang's hand, "If you don't want to, just tell me, I will definitely do what you want." ”

Xiao Xiang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, so he couldn't help but say stupidly: "What can I do?" Can you disobey your father's will? ”

Li Ke held her hand and suddenly strengthened it, pinching her in some pain. She couldn't help but pull her hand back, but she didn't want his hand to be so strong that she couldn't take it back.

"I ......" Li Ke's words also stayed in his throat, and he was speechless for a long time, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Xiao Xiang didn't say much, and continued to walk on his feet, but his heart was even more bored. She is only 14 years old, is she going to get married? If it weren't for the fact that she had traveled through time and space and taken away the sacrifice of Princess Gaoyang, I'm afraid this princess would still be a child, right? Why are you getting married......

She was full of worries and walked slowly all the way back to the palace.

And the next morning, as Li Chengqian said, the carriage and horse from Tufan slowly drove into the post house. The entire Taiji Palace knew about it. The treasures and treasures brought by the envoys of the Tu clan were sent into the Taiji Palace one by one, and the palace used to stack the tributes was jeweled for a while.

The things that were sent to the Manna Hall alone were piled up into a small mountain, and Xi Xi held the gift list, almost breathlessly reading it. Xiao Xiang took the list in her hand with a smile and looked down.

A pair of gold-inlaid white jade bowls, two groups of red jade screens, a jade dragon tooth bed, 10 bucket chicken cups, 15 Tianshan snow lotus, 6 pairs of pure gold embroidered shoes, 6 pieces of gold and silver money weaving wide sleeves Liuxian Palace, 2 Hetian jade Ruyi, 500 white jade carved hand beads, a set of silver needles, a set of gold needles, ten boxes of pearls, a pair of blue and white porcelain vases with a height of five meters, five pieces of double fish mouth blowing pearl jade pendant, 10 pieces of carved phoenix Xiang Tianyu pendant, 10 pieces of natural cranes, 10 pieces of white sable fur clothing, and a large tortoise shell.

There is a long list of names below, Xiao Xiang really can't stand it, this paragraph alone has already made her dizzy, this Tu vassal country seems to have made a heavy investment, if you can't ask the princess to go back, I'm afraid it will be a big loss of face.

The heart became more and more annoyed, they sent so many things to the Manna Palace, I'm afraid they already know their name, right? Perhaps when the envoy came to the court, he was ordered to marry him back.

Xiao Xiang stood up violently and walked back and forth in the hall...... It's a headache, this thing.

Things that made people even more annoying followed, and Li Shimin sent someone to announce the edict, saying that it was a banquet in the Lin De Hall in the afternoon, and she was invited to attend. This made Xiao Xiang completely puzzled, Li Ke said last night that this time it was Lu Dongzan, the minister of the Tu Domain, who came this time, and it was normal to have a banquet for him in the Lin De Palace.

But if Li Shimin doesn't want to let himself go to get married, and the reason is to avoid his edge, how can he let himself appear in front of the Tufan people? She really couldn't understand it.

But no matter what she thinks in her heart, she still can't resist the will.

After Xi Xi served and changed his clothes, calming down, Xiao Xiang turned around and walked out of the Manna Palace. I don't know what Li Shimin's intention is to give a banquet in the Lin De Hall this time?

After passing through several corridors and twisting the Taiye Pond, the famous Lindeokjeon is located on the west high ground 90 meters away from the west wall of the palace.

There is a brick wall around the palace, it is rectangular, it is more than 130 meters long from north to south, about 77 meters wide from east to west, it is divided into two floors, the hall, the corridor are built on the upper pedestal. The floor and pavilion of Lin De Hall are all built on the rammed earth high platform, and the pavilion corridor sets off the three halls, and looks at it from afar, it is quite spectacular.

However, this Lin De Hall is a place where the emperor held banquets, watched acrobatic dance and music, and performed Buddhist services. As the saying goes, you can only see far when you climb high, and you can't see the whole picture from a low place, and the pavilion is built at a high place, which is precisely to consider such a problem.

There are still dozens of meters away from the Lin De Palace, and you can hear the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo floating in the distance. Xiao Xiang raised his eyes and saw that there seemed to be many people over there, and the sound of bamboo ...... It doesn't sound like the music often played in the Tang Palace, but it is somewhat similar to the music in Tibet that I heard at that time.

"The princess hasn't heard this tune." A soft voice came from behind him, and Xiao Xiang looked back and saw that it was Xu Hui who only had one side. It seems that she is indeed favored, and she is even present at such a banquet.

"I've seen Xu Yunrong." Xiao Xiang bowed slightly, took a step back, and looked at Xu Hui carefully.

Unlike her own dress, Xu Hui's clothes are extremely plain, there are no superfluous decorations, everything is according to her grade. Sure enough, she is the future virtuous concubine. She nodded secretly and said with a smile: "Xu Yunrong rarely attends these banquets, and today is really rare." ”

Xu Hui also nodded: "Yes." He didn't say much, but slowed down a few steps and motioned for Xiao Xiang to go first.

Xiao Xiang didn't shirk either, she didn't have much of an impression of Xu Hui, she only remembered that she was martyred for Li Shimin. There are too many things she has to face at the moment, and it is not important to explore Xu Hui's situation in comparison.

With a smile on her lips, she walked slowly.
