The fourteenth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

Qilan, Zhicheng.

A letter from home came from Chang'an.

Accompanied by this letter from home, Zhicheng was the mighty black armor guard stationed under the city.

"Parents are on top, and everything is fine with the unfilial daughter Qiyun. However, when I was infected with a slight illness in autumn, and I missed my younger brothers and sisters, I couldn't do well. Fortunately, the prince was considerate and sent an envoy to welcome his younger brother and sister to Beijing for reunion. Unfilial daughters can't serve their parents nearby, and they are tired of their parents worrying, and they are terrified in their hearts, and they weep and knock repeatedly. ”

The queen read her daughter's letter and was about to speak, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that King Qilan was staring at a secret letter on the case with a gloomy and complicated expression. After a long time, he whispered: "He is not at ease after all." ”

"What does the emperor mean?"

"The one in the East Palace has always been cautious, and such an action is naturally acquiesced by the emperor. It's just ......" King Qilan's expression was a little hesitant, "What I want to take this time is not only Huan'er, but also Ayin, but it may be the prince's plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"In this way, isn't Yun'er really in bad health!" The queen's expression changed dramatically. Although Qiyun is not the queen's own child, she grew up beside the queen since she was a child, and now she is far away in Chang'an, and the news is vague, which naturally makes people anxious.

King Qilan was silent. In the eleventh year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Xiao Qiyunyuan, the eldest daughter of Wang, married Liu Ke, the prince of the East Palace. The emperor's holy grace bestowed the honor of the princess of the Xiao family's Great Zhou, and the scenery was unlimited for a while.

In the end, it is an endless undercurrent.

"Lord of the country, Lu Zhan of the East Palace asks to see you." The chamberlain came in and broke the silence.

Lu Dingfu walked into the hall in small steps, followed by only a sergeant who was also dressed in Xuanyi. The sergeant actually stepped across the sword and went to the hall, but King Qilan only frowned slightly.

Lu Dingfu is as respectful as he was back then.

"Your Royal Highness greets the lord and the mother, and hopes that the prince and the lord will pack up as soon as possible and leave within three days."

King Qilan did not answer. There was a loud bang behind the screen. It turned out that it was Xiao Yin, the young daughter of King Qilan, who learned that there was an envoy from Chang'an, and pulled the royal brother Xiao Huan to hide behind the screen and eavesdrop. Lu Dingfu is just a mere East Palace Zhan Shi, but he is only respectful on his face, and his words are so sloppy, Xiao Yin was angry for a while, stood up suddenly, and actually knocked down the porcelain bottle on the case next to him.

"Who!" The sergeant in the dark clothes stepped forward with his sword.

Xiao Huan patted his sister lightly, turned out from behind the screen, and shouted: "I am the prince of Qilan, what kind of person are you, you dare to cross the knife into my royal court!" ”

Lu Dingfu was unhurried, scolded the sergeant to retreat, owed to Xiao Huan, and said, "The sergeant is ignorant and collided with the son." Please also ask the lord of the country and the prince to bear with me. ”

Xiao Yin saw through the crack of the screen, and saw that the person outside the screen was just putting the knife in the sheath, but there was still no look on his face. "This person seems to be a little familiar," Xiao Yin was a little dazed for a moment, and then thought, "It's a pity that he's a nasty ghost." ”

Xiao Yin hated all black armor guards at all. Last time, the black armor guard came to Zhicheng, and my sister went to Chang'an. Now, it's her and the fourth brother's turn again. Chang'an is a long way, when can I return to Qilan?

Queen Qilan has no more than a daughter and a son, but now she has gone to Chang'an, and she is reluctant to give up, but unfortunately she can't help the emperor's order. Always advised, after all, it can't be worth three days, even if you set off.

King Qilan stood on the gate of Zhicheng, looking at his children and his entourage to get into the carriage. It has never been treacherous, and peaceful and indisputable days are rare. Back then, he entered Chang'an as the son of the world, which was really a touching story. At that time, the emperor was just an ordinary prince of Da Zhou. Later, he made the right bet, and the emperor won.

He still remembered the most beautiful winter in Chang'an, yes, it was the winter of the first year of Qianyuan, and it was the queen of the princess who gave birth to Ayin. The emperor affectionately called his cousin, happily teased the infant Ayin, and said, "This daughter of yours is really well born, and she is the same age as my dynasty." It was at that time that Ayin became the first lord of the Qianyuan Dynasty to be crowned, and Qinghe County was taken as a food town.

King Qilan even felt that that winter was more beautiful than the winter in the second year of Qianyuan, when he finally returned to Zhicheng after many years of absence and succeeded to the throne as King Qilan. In the first year, although he was still in Chang'an, he had the illusion that all the haze and coldness had been dispelled and would never come back.

Unfortunately, things came back and forth. "It's only ten years......" he couldn't help but lose his mind. The queen stepped forward and put on a robe for him, "It's still a little cold, so let's add some clothes." ”

There are gusts of wind, and this chill is a little like when I was still in Chang'an. But no, it was the cold wind of Chang'an that blew to the edge of the Zhijiang River. And the two of them looked at the innocent sons and daughters of the city from afar in the wind at the head of the city.

The gate of Zhicheng opened, and a group of old maids walked out with Xiao Huan and Xiao Yin.

"The old minister asked the prince, Weng Zhu'an," Lu Dingfu stepped forward and said: "This is the prince's palace Deng Duhu, this is going to Chang'an, the mountains are high and the road is far away, so he will protect everything for the masters." Lu Dingfu said, and signaled to Deng Yao beside him, who knew that Deng Yao didn't react, just looked ahead, as if he had lost his mind.

In front of him, Xiao Yin was wearing a lotus pink feather satin, revealing a long skirt in pine color, and her face became more and more delicate. The person in charge of escorting this way turned out to be the nasty ghost who crossed the sword to the temple that day, Xiao Yin cursed secretly in his heart, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but show a slight resentment, but it was like a peach blossom in the corner of his eyes, which added a bit of vividness.

Deng Yao was stupid.

Xiao Huan was angry for a while, ignoring that Lu Dingfu was still standing aside, snorted, and strode into the carriage. The sergeant lost his temper, but Lu Dingfu was calm, and just drank to make Deng Yao apologize.

Xiao Yin held the girl's hand and walked to the carriage.

There was a little dust on the road for a while, and Deng Yao knelt beside the road. When Xiao Yin walked by, he didn't look up again, only saw a begonia flower on the horn of her blue feather, moving step by step, as if she was about to break away and dance among the dust.

Deng Yao kept kneeling. Xiao Yin got into the carriage and rolled up the bamboo curtain to look, he was still kneeling there until Lu Dingfu asked the black armor guard to give the order and set off.

"Damn, it's just a house slave in the Prince's Mansion, and he is so proud." Xiao Huan was still very angry.

Xiao Yin laughed out loud: "When my brother said this, I can't tell which one is scolding." ”

Xiao Huan looked at his sister, his tense face also relaxed, and said: "This is called a raccoon dog, you don't have to distinguish it so clearly." After laughing, Xiao Huan remembered something, and his expression became gloomy again, "I don't know if the eldest sister is okay." ”

"It's a pity that we are in a hurry, and we can't see that person before leaving."

"I hope the eldest sister still lets it go."

This sentence made Xiao Yin silent, and he just lowered his head and played with the little jade tiger in the embroidery bag hanging on his chest.

A group of people and horses wandered along the Zhijiang River to the north. Dada's horse's hooves stirred up the high autumn tranquility of this clear river and clear water.
