Chapter 1: Face Saint

Next Chapter

There was a carriage that drove straight to the palace from afar, without the slightest hesitation, and the carriage was tattooed with the common Lingzhi cloud pattern, faintly revealing a mysterious atmosphere. I don't know whose carriage would be so plain. The guards on both sides of the palace did not give the approaching carriage a single glance, as if they did not see it.

However, as the carriage approached the palace gate, the speed of the carriage did not decrease.

Tension suddenly spread among them. In the past, no matter which noble person it was, he would always slow down his speed when he approached the palace gate. And today this carriage ...... Obviously something is not right, this momentum is obviously going straight to the palace!

Everyone's hands were already on the scabbard at their waists, and when the carriage approached, they would be unsheathed, and the compelling would stop them in front of this palace gate, and they couldn't help but approach this palace gate half a step!

Just as the carriage was about to break into the palace gate and the atmosphere was about to erupt, with a long hiss, the carriage, which had been walking fast before without slowing down, suddenly stopped.

Since he can stop, he must not be a thief.

"Huh...... I haven't seen you in a long time. A plain hand reached out and pulled up the curtain, and a woman could be seen sitting in the carriage. And the unarmed master, who lifted the curtain, sat at the door of the carriage, dressed as a maid in blue clothes. The man driving the carriage was dressed in a blue robe, with a resolute face and an inexplicable expression.

A few guards suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the emperor summoned the nine princesses who had lived in Jingshan Taoist Temple for a long time. According to the schedule, it will arrive today. Could it be that the woman in this carriage is the Ninth Princess?

Thinking of this, several people looked a little respectful. I don't know what the emperor did when he summoned this nobleman back, and I don't know the emperor's attitude towards this nobleman, they can only treat this nobleman respectfully.

A token came out of the curtain that was rolled up, and the handsome coachman took it and handed it to the guard. After the guard inspected, he made a gesture of release.

"Welcome the Ninth Princess back to the palace."

"Xuan Ling." A voice came from the carriage, full of indifference to the surroundings, "Let's go." ”

The carriage that came all the way from Jingshan did not have any time to rest, and it drove straight to the door of the emperor's imperial study. Someone, who has been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess has arrived." The eunuch with white hair bent down again and said respectfully. There was a hint of excitement in those cloudy eyes, and the old emperor who was reading at the desk didn't see it.

Hearing this, the old emperor's pen shook, and a drop of ink dripped on the plain paper, "She's back...... Declare. ”

The incense table in the imperial study was burning with incense that didn't know what it smelled like, and the somewhat stagnant air in the room was eased a little. Shaking the light sat below, a pair of eyes swept the bonsai placed here by the palace maids, as if he didn't know that this room was a place to decide on important affairs in the country.

"You're back." The emperor, who was sitting upright, raised his eyes and glanced at the ninth girl who had been sent away by himself at a young age. His face was complicated, and he didn't know how to treat this little daughter who was sent to Jingshan by himself since she was a child.

"I'm back." Shake your lips slightly and sit in a more comfortable position. The robes were scattered on the ground, and the quaint patterns loomed.

"How have you been for the past eight years?"

"Emperor Xie cares, the environment on Jingshan is quiet, and the body of Shaoguang is also much better."

"That's good." The old emperor nodded, and suddenly asked, "Are you resentful?" Jingshan is sparsely populated, and I didn't give you the ...... you deserve as a princess."

"Resentment?" Shaking the light didn't care, she looked straight at the emperor, and suddenly smiled, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty, if there was no emperor at the beginning, how could there be the current shaking light?" If it weren't for the emperor, it would be impossible for the illness of Shake Light to recover so well. How dare you shake the light...... What about the emperor? ”

"You...... Forget it, you go and see your fourth emperor brother. The Emperor looked straight at Shake Light, as if to find some human shadow in her, but he found that he had not. A hint of disappointment crossed his eyes, and then, taking his gaze back, "He...... It's for your own good. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known how hard you had been on Jingshan. The old emperor seemed to be a little stunned, "It's me, I'm sorry for your brothers and sisters, among all my children, he is the most like me, but he is also ......." ”

"Brother Four Emperors, he doesn't have any lofty ambitions, he just likes the battlefield, and he just wants to protect the peace of Daning. Bathed in blood for Daning, even if he died, he did not regret it, what he wanted was just a peace. Since he won't regret the four emperor brothers, so your majesty, where are you sorry for my four emperor brothers? It was his own choice to go to war. Since he had made this choice, he was ready to sacrifice at any time. Shaking the light and opening his mouth, his tone unconsciously carried a little pride. Although Shaoguang has not interviewed the Four Emperor Brothers, the Four Emperor Brothers have sent letters to Jingshan over the years, and Shaoguang still understands him. ”

After speaking, Shaking Light shot his gaze straight to the emperor, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

Your Majesty, don't you know why the Fourth Emperor Brother wants to be peaceful? is obviously a royal son and grandson, and he can spend his life in peace and security, but he chose the bloody battlefield, what he wants and does, Your Majesty, don't you really understand? Do you really not understand, or do you not want to understand?

The emperor's old eyes were a little dazed, as if he didn't want to think about why his son pursued the battlefield so much. He looked at the shaking light sitting below him, with a hint of nostalgia, "You are really like her in some places. ”

"Your Majesty, the deceased is gone, so why bother." Shaking the light seemed to think of something, and there was not the slightest wave in his eyes.

'Him'? Or 'she'? Shake the light doesn't want to care anymore.

The trance was only for a while, and soon, the emperor's eyes cleared again. He withdrew his gaze from Shaoguang, and said meaningfully, "In this palace, it's better for you to call me 'Father'." ”

Shaoguang pinched a strand of his hair and stared at the uneven length of the ends, "Father, forgive me, Shaoguang just left the palace for a long time, and he has been listening to the people talking about the emperor, and he hasn't changed his words for a while." ”

"I've sent someone to clean up the princess's mansion for you, you can go and see your brother in a while, and then go back and rest." Your mother used to live in this house, so you'll love it. ”

"Shake the light, thank you, father." Shake the light and salute, turn around and walk to the door. The seemingly simple clothes revealed the simple patterns carefully woven on them while walking, and the whole person showed a faint nobility. Her back was straight, and the emperor looked at the shaking back, and for a moment it overlapped with the figure in his memory. The person in her memory, she is the same......

This is her daughter. Her daughter was born so young, and now she ...... It's grown so big. Will he be able to control her?

"In the future, I hope you can restrain your temperament." The majestic voice came from behind her, shaking the walking figure for a moment, and in front of her was the blinding sunlight outside the door. But she felt that the chill seeped into her bones, "The capital is not as good as Jingshan, this is a place where rules are spoken, I hope you can restrain your casual and casual temperament." As a royal princess, you should have the demeanor of a royal princess! ”

"Rules?" Shaoguang turned around, turned his back to the door and looked at the emperor sitting in the high seat, "Father, doesn't the emperor know that Shaoguang was sent to Jingshan by you since he was a child, where do you know what rules?" The royal sisters did it, is the father not satisfied? ”

"Shake the light now that there is no mother, no brother, father, isn't it good to shake the light to be a princess who is safe and secure?"

"Your mother wasn't what you are now. Your mother is gentle and generous, and she is a role model for all women. Even if you can't be like your mother, you should at least know some rules. Look at what you just did, sitting or not, how can this be? ”

"Shake the light as ...... The emperor's wishes. Hearing the old emperor talk about his mother, a trace of complexity flashed in Shaoguang's heart. She turned around and walked towards the door without hesitation, as the back of the shaking light disappeared from sight, the indifferent voice reached the main hall, the old emperor looked at this back, and couldn't help sighing. He...... Is it right to recall her back to the capital? Why does he feel that some things are out of his control?

"Princess, you're out." Seeing the figure of shaking light, Xuan Ling and the maidservant Lu Su stepped forward.

"Let's go, go to the Four Princes' Mansion." Shaoguang looked back at the three words 'Imperial Study' hanging on the door frame of the palace, and a glimmer of light crossed his eyes.

"Have you arrived?" Sensing that the carriage had stopped, Midori asked. Xuan Ling didn't reply for a long time, Lu Su lifted the curtain, "Xuan Ling, why are you ......" seemed to see something unbelievable, and Lu Su's remaining questioning words were all swallowed in his throat.

"Princess...... We ......" Green Su quickly turned his head and looked at the shaking light spread out in the carriage.

"It's okay, let's get out of the carriage and go in." Sha Guang saw the scene outside along the curtain lifted by Lu Su, and sighed in his heart, with an indescribable amazement in his chest. How good would it be if his royal brother was still alive?

What does a king need? popular hearts, and prestige. The people's hearts are returned, the prestige is reachable, and he has all of these, but it is a pity that the hero's life is short and he falls on the battlefield. If it weren't for that, the one sitting upright in the palace would not have thought of summoning her as the brother and sister of the Four Emperors back to the capital because of the guilt that suddenly rose. It's just that what's the point of calling her back? Rather than staying in this capital and intriguing with others, it is better to stay in Jingshan and end up idle.

The people spontaneously formed a memorial procession densely surrounding the Four Princes' Mansion, and everyone had grief on their faces, and all the solemnity spread in the air. Shaking the light looked at this scene, and the look in his eyes was uncertain. It is false to say that there are no regrets, maybe this is the jealousy of talents, and they will not let a perfect person exist in the world.

She didn't even know what her brother looked like, was he like his father or his mother, or was he a little like her? In the end, I didn't have a chance to see it. The light lowered her eyes, and gathered all the sadness that had just been inadvertently displayed, and replaced it with the usual nonchalance on her face.
