"After the emperor ascended the throne, he made the crown princess the queen, accepted the current Qing Guifei, and canonized a number of concubines. In the next year, the queen, Qing Guifei, and a Zhaorong gave birth to a prince successively. ”

"But except for the five princes born to Concubine Qing, the other two princes did not live past their first birthday. Later, the six princes born to the queen and the seven princes born to Concubine Qing were all raised. The five princes and the six princes have been favored by the emperor since childhood, but because the six princes were born to the queen, they were made the crown princes, and the five princes were named the kings of Jin. ”

"Later, the six princes born to the queen and the seven princes born to Concubine Qing were all raised. The five princes and the six princes have been favored by the emperor since childhood, but because the six princes were born to the queen, they were made the crown princes, and the five princes were named the kings of Jin. ”

Mo Jinhua's narration made Mo Li feel that his head was too big, no matter which dynasty the royal family was really complicated, I am afraid that the death of those children who died early was not so simple.

"It is a matter of time before the prince is crowned king, and this kind of appeasement is believed to have no effect on the five princes, it is just a temporary check and balance on the court, and he probably wants more than just the name of a prince. Which of the five princes or the six princes does my brother think is more suitable to be the emperor? ”

Mo Jinhua was taken aback by her sister's blatant question: "Xi'er, this is unspeakable. ”

"Brother, don't worry, I know the severity, and I'm just talking to my brother." Mo Liwaner, of course she knew that the ancients had no freedom of speech at all, especially this kind of thing, if it was heard, it would lead to death, but she still wanted to know the trend of the court in the future.

Mo Jinhua shook his head helplessly, since his sister came back from Xidaying, it was like a different person, he couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad, but subconsciously he believed that his sister was a measured person and would not cause trouble for no reason, so he still patiently explained his sister's doubts.

"The two of them are comparable in talent and learning, and it can be said that they are both ambitious and ambitious people. In fact, although the five princes are more conceited, they are not people with means, and the six princes are relatively gentle, but they are not very open-minded. But the six princes were born by the queen, so it was natural to be made the crown prince. ”

"Which side does my brother prefer?" Mo Li knew that Zhong Hanchi had been trying to win over Murong Chu, so he wanted to know what his brother thought.

"I am only loyal to the emperor." Mo Jinhua raised his eyes and looked at Mo Li, "Does Xi'er have any ideas?" ”

Mo Li pursed her lips and smiled: "What can I think of a little woman." However, my brother agrees with the general. ”

"After asking so much, I just want to know if Brother Murong and I will become political enemies one day, right?" Mo Jinhua snorted slightly, "If there is really such a day, what will Xi'er do?" ”

This question is indeed a bit difficult to answer, on one side is his brother, on the other side is his sweetheart, and either side will break the heart of the other.

However, Mo Li blinked mischievously: "Since my brother has seen through Xi'er's thoughts, do you still need to ask this question?" I don't understand the affairs of the court, and I don't have the noble complex of national righteousness, I only know that being loyal to the superior and not standing in line casually is the best way to protect myself. ”

Mo Jinhua touched his sister's head dotingly: "Xi'er can rest assured this time, today is just you and my brother and sister have not said anything." It's not too early, so let's go back and rest. ”

In the blink of an eye, it was the day to set off, and I first went to Puning Temple to do the rituals, and then the team set off to the west.

This time, Ruoping and Xia He accompanied them, and brought Mama Li to take care of Mo Li's food and drink on the way.

Fifteen and seventeen did not hide in the shadows this time, but rode with them. In the past few months, Xu Dazhuang has learned a lot of kung fu from the two of them, and the three of them have become acquainted, chatting without a word along the way, which is also very interesting.

In the evening, when he entered Yunxiu Town, a servant had already booked an inn in advance.

Mo Jinyu went out for the first time, everything was new, and he wanted to go to the town for a walk, but Mo Li couldn't stand his soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to ask his brother.

Mo Jinhua saw that it was still early, and there were fifteen and seventeen followers, so he didn't detain them anymore, just gave a few words, and let the sisters and brothers out of the inn.

Yunxiu Town is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but now it is the end of summer, and the breeze is blowing, but it is a little cool.

Although the town is not as lively as the capital, the main street is also full of shops and people come and go.

After all, Mo Jinyu is still a child, along the way, the east family will take a look, and the west family will take a look.

Until he was almost finished walking a street, Mo Li always had a feeling of being stared at, but when he turned his head, he only saw the bustling crowd on the street, and did not find any suspicious people.

Just when she was suspicious, Ruoping whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Ah Ming has gone to check, let's go back to the inn and wait for him first." ”

After returning to the inn for dinner, Ruoping asked Xia He to serve Mo Li back to the room to wash up, and went out by himself.

When Mo Li was ready to go to bed, Ruoping came back, entered the room, and sent Xia He to Mama Li's house next door, then he lowered his voice and said, "That person is very alert, Ah Ming didn't catch up." We had just taken a closer look around the inn and there was nothing suspicious. ”

"I just got out of the capital and was eyeing it, this person is really a little impatient." A hint of mockery appeared on the corners of Mo Li's lips.

Ruoping patted the back of her hand: "Miss, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

"Well, pay more attention to my brother and Jinyu, I have this now, and self-protection shouldn't be a big problem." Mo Li patted the shadow-chasing silver needle on her waist, and as soon as she left the capital, she tied the mackerel belt in her belt.

"Miss, rest early, I'll have to hurry tomorrow." Ruoping left a small candle lamp, extinguished the other candles, and checked the doors and windows again, and then rested on the soft collapse.

The night was peaceful, but nothing happened.

Because I have to wait to meet Murong Chu, I don't need to rush to the road these days, every day the sun rises high before I set off, and I will find a town to rest without waiting for sunset.

At noon on this day, they marched to a mountain forest, and the team stopped to rest.

The servants set up the pot to prepare lunch, and Mo Jinyu got into play, caught a cicada out of nowhere, and teased it there.

Mo Li sat in the shade of the tree, rubbing the emerald jade flute in his hand.

Ruoping handed over the newly brewed one: "Miss, are you thinking about the master?" ”

"They should have left yesterday, and they don't know when they will catch us." Mo Li put away the jade flute, held the teacup in his hand, and turned his head to look at Ruoping.

Before Ruoping could answer, a terrible scream came from the forest, and several birds were so frightened that they flew out of the forest.

Everyone became nervous, and Fifteen gave everyone a slightly calming look, signaled Xu Dazhuang and Seventeen to protect Mo Li, and brought a few guards into the forest.
