The Double Ninth Festival is coming, and the homonym of "Ninety-nine" is "long-lasting", which means a long time, so whether it is the folk or the palace, the Chongyang Festival is a grand festival that is extremely important.

Because of the hidden intentions, Wan'er is somewhat depressed, since talking with Princess Taiping's birthday, the two have met many times, but they have not talked in detail, they seem to have a tacit understanding with each other, no one mentions all kinds of that night, but suddenly the lord is humble and humble, and Taiping is much closer to Wan'er at will.

Wan'er also has contact with the two brothers Li Xian and Li Dan, the king of England, Li Xian still likes to joke with Wan'er, teasing her for fun, although Li Dan is younger, but he is much calmer, and often blames his brother for being too reckless. Li Xian felt that Li Dan defended Wan'er everywhere, but he was more keen to play with Wan'er. Wan'er knows that this is somewhat unorthodox, catering is not, refusal is not, and it is also a different kind of dilemma.

But the people I wanted to see still didn't see them. She secretly asked someone to inquire, only to know that the prince went to Guanzhong to inspect, thinking that this was another reason for the prince to escape the Chongyang family banquet, she couldn't help but sigh, this gloomy appearance naturally could not escape the eyes of Lin Xiuwu, the head of the female official.

"Wan'er, I see that you have a lot of worries these days, could it be that there is something at home?" Lin Xiuwu asked tentatively.

Wan'er shook her head: "Thank you for the care of the Linshe people, my mother is very good, and there is no more concern at home." ”

"Is that a busy schedule of official business, and lack of energy?"

"The people of Lin She have taught well, and Wan'er has gradually adapted, although she dare not say that she can cope with it, she will not make those ridiculous mistakes again." Wan'er denied it again.

"Could it be that the heart is budding?" Lin Sheren smiled, half of it was joking, half of it was real worry, Wan'er was in the prime of her cardamom years, and she was beautiful and intelligent, this age is too easy to go out of sorts, and it is okay for folk women to be emotional, but in this inner palace, the love between men and women is like a flood beast, and the warmth is hideous and terrifying.

Wan'er's face was slightly red, and she replied categorically, "No." Where do I have the heart to think about this, not to mention that I don't have a suitable man by my side, you are really worried. ”

"Didn't you? It's true? Lin Xiuwu asked two short questions in a row, and her tone was questioning with humor, "I've heard that His Royal Highness is very close to you, is it-"

Wan'er hurriedly grabbed the words: "It's purely a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, who the king is and who Wan'er is, it has nothing to do with it." ”

"Wan'er, don't get me wrong." Lin Xiuwu saw that she was in a hurry to clear up, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, besides, if His Royal Highness really sympathizes with you, this is a good thing, in this palace, this is a good home, and the queen of heaven will gladly agree." The question is you, Wan'er, what are you planning in your heart? ”

Wan'er only then knew that she had been hanging her mind too much on her face recently, which would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others, but fortunately, the person who asked at this time had no malicious intent, so she bluntly said, "Let's talk about personal matters until after the twenty-five...... To be honest, I've been really distressed lately, I want to do something, and I know that I can't do it, but like a magic barrier, I just want to do it. ”

"Why do you want to do this? For yourself, or for someone else? How can it be done, and what if it can't be done? It's all you need to weigh up for yourself. Seeing that you are embarrassed but have a heart, you will know that it is not a light thing. As long as you are not rebellious and disregard for your conscience, you can do whatever you want, and the opportunities in this life are often inadvertent, and it is not wise to suffer too much from gains and losses. Lin Xiuwu didn't ask in detail, just said so.

"Rest assured, the things you despise are also deeply hated by Wan'er. This matter is just a moth to a fire, and I am willing to bear it with loneliness and the rest of my life. Wan'er's words were very powerful, and her expression was also very resolute.

"Come and read a poem for me." Lin Xiuwu found a reason, and her sigh was so soft that Wan'er didn't notice it.

It was getting closer and closer to the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and no one expected that there was a major incident when the soldiers were inspected in the prince pass, and a general embezzled military salaries to cause a mutiny.

Wan'er, who had been keeping a close eye on the prince's whereabouts, felt that although the timing was not perfect, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Xian returned to the palace at such a moment, and his mood was really bad, and several cronies and ministers of the Empress Wu had always been on the wrong path with him, and at this time, they imposed many crimes on Li Xian out of nothing, one of which was "good joy and self-righteousness".

"Daosheng." Li Xian sat down on the couch, took the hot drink from the maid, and said thoughtfully, "Those sharp-toothed old stubborns probably wish I had a lot of mistakes, and they are unwilling to let me be the prince, is it their idea, or the queen's preference?" "If you don't call the queen but say the queen, the estrangement between mother and son can be imagined.

Zhao Daosheng is the domestic slave of the crown prince Li Xian, who looks as soft as a woman, and is a person trusted by Li Xian.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why bother yourself, this position of prince is not qualified by anyone except you. Besides, the other two highnesses are your compatriots and siblings, and they have no intention of falling in love with power, aren't you still at ease? Zhao Daosheng's voice was soft, but not feminine.

Li Xian hated and said: "When you say this, it seems that I am particularly interested in this identity." If I can choose, I would rather not be this prince, read books, raise flowers, and talk about the piano with three or five friends, how to live freely. ”

Zhao Daosheng chuckled: "I want to be that idle nobleman, who do the subjects of the world rely on?" According to the small one, you are a fate, if you don't want it, you will not take it, you are a mandate to heaven. ”

Li Xian drank slowly, didn't laugh or get annoyed, only said: "When the fifth brother was the prince, all the people admired him, and everyone said that he was the pride of the sky and the glory of my Tang Dynasty...... But so what, isn't it still at the mercy of men, and death is not blind? ”

"Why did Your Highness bother to mention this again? Filial piety to the emperor died, the world died, the emperor personally wrote the "Ruide Ji", mourning, the queen also washed her face with tears, a serious illness...... Why can't you let go? Tuberculosis is an incurable disease, filial piety to the emperor-"

Li Xian threw the cup in his hand, frowning, "Even you said what kind of tuberculosis it is!" Let me ask you, the fifth brother has always been in good health, how could he suddenly have this chronic lesion, and coincidentally die in front of everyone when we gathered together...... This is clearly a wake-up call for our brothers and sisters, to establish prestige for ourselves, whoever goes against her will end up like this, the fifth brother is just pleading for Xiao Shuren's two daughters......"

Seeing that he was angry, Zhao Daosheng stood in a corner with his head down, and slapped him in the face.

"What are you doing here?" Li Xian's brows widened a little, pinched the joints of his fingertips, and calmed down a lot, "You didn't say anything wrong." If I were you, I would say the same thing, after all, everyone in the palace said so, and I can only say that. ”

Zhao Daosheng was grateful for the prince's kindness, but he hated that he couldn't solve the dilemma for the prince, and when he heard the helplessness and bitterness in these words, his eyes were hot, and his words were incoherent, "Your Highness, small, small...... Impotent...... Not only can't, but can't understand the prince's heart...... Also, the crowd ...... Yiyun, sprinkle salt on the prince, heart, and heart......"

"Okay, okay, don't be like a little lady, I don't eat pear blossoms with rain." Li Xian said angrily, but smiled unexpectedly, "Now that I have returned, what I should face is still to be faced, not to mention far away, this Chongyang family banquet is really-"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a servant outside the door say loudly, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is a female official who wants to see you." ”

Li Xian was slightly stunned, Zhao Daosheng quickly wiped his eyes, and asked, "Which female official is it?" ”

The servant replied, "I don't know the little one." ”

"What's the grade? Didn't self-report the source? Zhao Daosheng asked.

The messenger seemed to be very embarrassed, and replied: "It's just from the sixth grade, and I don't want to say my name, I have to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhao Daosheng snorted: "Presumptuous! The female history of the Xuanzheng Palace also dared to run to the East Palace to spread wild! ”

"No problem." Li Xian was curious, bent the corners of his mouth, and smiled meaningfully, "Let her in, I have to see for a long time." He also instructed Zhao Daosheng, "You go and stay behind the screen, and you are not allowed to come out without me." ”

"Yes." Zhao Daosheng bowed his head, and rushed out of the door to tell again, "Please enter the palace." ”
