(I have made a special explanation in the book review section, but it seems that some readers still don't know much, so I will repeat the explanation of the noun here: the emperor's aunts, sisters, and daughters are called "eldest princess", "eldest princess" and "princess" respectively according to their generations.) Jin Yang and Liyang are both sisters of the same generation as the emperor, so both of them are "eldest princesses", which has nothing to do with their age rankings, and after Jing Yan ascends the throne, Liyang will become the "eldest princess", and Jing Ning's generation will become the "eldest princess". As for the ranking of royal women, it is not very important, generally everyone will call and distinguish them by their respective titles, if you really want to talk about the age order, add a number, such as the fourth princess, the seventh princess or something

Xiao Jingyan grabbed Mei Changsu's arm and patted it gently. He knew that Lin Shu's disappointment at the moment was really good, and he was also a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, he didn't have much hope for the eldest princess of Liyang, and he knew that there was no point in coercion, so he followed Mei Changsu's words, took the sachet from his aunt's hand sideways, and said, "Thank you, you can send your nephew to appreciate the deceased." Mr. Su and I still have something to discuss, and my aunt will not send it away. ”

He sent off the guests without extra lobbying, but it made the eldest princess of Liyang a little overwhelmed, and she wanted to say something, but she felt speechless, and finally had to turn around and silently bow her head and walk out. Xiao Jingrui bowed down and saluted the prince, caught up with his mother in two or three steps, and gently held her arm.

Leaving the main pavilion and walking through the outer courtyard paved with white jade to the shadow wall, the eldest princess of Liyang suddenly paused, raised her eyes and looked at her son: "Jing Rui, do you think...... Mother is a little too ruthless to do this? ”

Xiao Jingrui groaned. Said: "Whether you do this thing or not has its reasons, it depends on which side of your heart you value, mother." Anyone else. Neither the child is qualified to influence the mother's decision. What's more, once this huge case is overturned. Thank...... Xie Hou's crime is to rebel against him, although he is dead, he is bound to be connected to the second and third brothers. Mother does not want to be trapped in a desperate situation by her own hands, this loving heart Jing Rui understands. ”

Liyang was in tears. patted the back of his son's hand, "You still understand your mother's thoughts." But depending on the prince's determination, the case will be overturned sooner or later. If it is really for the sake of Bi Erxu'er, it would be a solution for me to come forward and give them a forgiveness. I originally thought that Mr. Su was very shrewd, and he would naturally use this to persuade me...... That's just what I said. He was actually angry......"

Xiao Jingrui thought about it and felt doubts in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I met Brother Su at the beginning. It was to admire his talent and bearing, despite all the things that happened later. I've always felt ...... Fighting for power is not his style. Since he had long known the truth about the Chiyan case. Then maybe his purpose was for this case all along. As for who to take refuge in, who to assist is just a means. ”

"It seems that this Mr. Su is not an outsider......" The eldest princess of Liyang, Liu frowned lightly, her eyes were heavy, "Who is he?" What does Chiyan's case have to do with him? ”

"Now it doesn't make much sense to study this in detail, whether Brother Su is a person in the bureau or just a prince and a minister, since the two of them chose to publish Xie Hou's suicide note in public, it can be seen that the heart of Xue has been as strong as a golden stone, leaving no way out, which makes the child very admired, but unfortunately my identity is embarrassing, and many things cannot be done on behalf of my mother......"

"Jing Rui, if you transpose with your mother, you must definitely agree to their request, right?"

Xiao Jingrui thought about it seriously and said: "The child and the mother are different, it is impossible for two people to have the same thoughts, there are many dilemmas in the world, the mother's contradictions are sour, how can the child not be considerate?" ”

Princess Liyang let out a long breath, looked at the Nine Dragons colored sculptures on the shadow wall of the main entrance, thought for a long time, and finally slowly turned around and said, "Good boy, you can accompany your mother to go back." Xiao Jingrui didn't seem surprised by his mother's decision, nodded and held her hand tightly: "Mother and child swear to you, no matter what the situation is in the future, our family will share weal and woe, and if anyone wants to hurt mother and brothers, they must first step on the child." ”

The eldest princess of Liyang's heart was hot, and she grabbed her son's hand hard, and the two supported each other and re-entered the door of the East Palace cabinet.

Xiao Jingyan stepped forward and bowed slightly as if she had seen the eldest princess for the first time today: "Auntie, please sit down, do you have anything else to say?" ”

"I promise you." The eldest princess of Liyang said succinctly.

"Has my aunt thought about it?"

"When I go and come back, I naturally think twice." The eldest princess of Liyang smiled gloomily: "Actually, no matter how much I think about it, I just can't really stand by and watch." If I step out of the gate of your East Palace today, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep at night in the future. ”

"Okay," Xiao Jingyan raised his eyebrows and said, "My aunt has this kind of affection, and my nephew can also assure you here, after the Xue Chiyan case is cleared, all the children in your land will be pardoned, and they will never be involved." ”

The eldest princess of Liyang couldn't help but be shocked and said, "You actually know ......"

"What is so difficult for my aunt to perceive what is thinking about human beings?" Xiao Jingyan and Mei Changsu exchanged a look, and said lightly: "Mr. Su didn't want to talk about it just now, but he didn't want to turn this matter into a transaction. Now is the most critical time, and any promise that goes against the heart and is exchanged and forced is uncontrollable and variable. Not forcing my aunt is also to avoid taking the risk of accidents. ”

"The prince said this frankly, and I listened to it easily. It seems that you are not a person who really wants to clear the grievances of the deceased, you don't want to help now," the eldest princess of Liyang turned her gaze to Mei Changsu's face, "Since this is the case, then Mr. Su can stand here, presumably he is loyal and has won your trust, but I don't know how the prince confirmed Mr. Su's sincerity?" ”

Xiao Jingyan pursed her lips and glanced at Mei Changsu, seeing that he was expressionless and looking out of the window, as if he hadn't heard the eldest princess of Liyang speak at all, his heart suddenly felt a faint pain, and he paused and said, "Mr. Su has done everything for me." It's hard to put it into words. What's more, there is no doubt about employing people, I have just said that Mr. and I. As one person. ”

"There is no doubt about employing people...... "The eldest princess of Liyang muttered and repeated, and nodded." Jing Yan: I have always paid little attention to you, and I only realized today that although you and Jing Yu have different temperaments, they are very similar in their bones. ”

"In this life, if he can inherit the legacy of the eldest brother, it is indeed Jing Yan's wish." Xiao Jingyan nodded slightly. "If my aunt changes her mind after she goes back, she doesn't have to force it. At that time, the pressure on the top of the main hall in the face of His Majesty's fury was as heavy as if there was no firm determination, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to finish the words. ”

The eldest princess of Liyang did not respond immediately, but thought about it cautiously and silently. At this time, Mei Changsu turned his face. asked with a smile: "Jing Rui, you have been there for more than a year, you must have gained a lot of experience." How is everything alright? ”

Xiao Jingrui said with a gentle smile on his lips: "Yes." Far from your homeland. I met some people and went through some things. At this time, when you look back on the past, you can see more clearly and think more clearly. Merely...... Brother Su doesn't seem to have changed much, and now I see that you still feel so unfathomable and elusive. ”

After just a few words, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if something in their hearts had been gently revealed, and it was much more refreshing. The eldest princess of Liyang didn't say anything more, nodded to Xiao Jingyan slightly, and left again with her son.

There were only two people left in the hall at the moment, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while. When Mei Changsu took the initiative to come to the East Palace in the morning, Xiao Jingyan was very surprised, but when they met, he was still detached, only talking about business, so he didn't dare to say anything else. And it didn't take long for the eldest princess and mother and son to arrive, and now although the matter has been negotiated, the deadlock between the two has not been completely opened. "Do you think Aunt Liyang is really determined to help us this time?" After being silent for a moment, Xiao Jingyan asked first.

"The eldest princess is no longer an impulsive person, and if she agrees, she is nine points sure. However, just in case, an alternative plan still needs to be drawn up. ”

"That's no problem, Yan Hou will never back down, he assured me that if he is allowed to be wronged by the Golden Palace at that time, even if the Son of Heaven is angry, he will definitely insist on telling all the truth. However, if you want to use Xie Yu's suicide note to open up the case, it is naturally the most logical for Aunt Liyang to come forward. ”

"Hmm," Mei Changsu replied softly, "At that time, the situation on the scene is unpredictable, and it will be up to His Highness to control it." ”

"You can rest assured, I have talked about the courtiers of the clan separately, and the effect is better than I expected, whether it is sincere or homeopathic, they all expressed their strong support. However, in order to prevent some of them from telling my father and the emperor at both ends, I have specially asked my mother to ensure that no outsiders can see my father in the next few days. The forbidden army in the palace was personally selected by Meng Qing, and they would delay time, and no matter how much their father scolded them before their aunt finished speaking, they would not really drag people away. ”

"Your Highness moves so fast." Mei Changsu smiled.

Seeing him smile, Xiao Jingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I contacted the courtiers without consulting you, and I was worried that you would accuse me of being reckless." I heard Meng Qing say that you have always emphasized that you must be steady step by step, so you hide a lot of things from me, afraid that I will be radical. ”

Mei Changsu slowly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "As long as Your Majesty is still in power, it is impossible to overturn the case, it is impossible to be really foolproof, I just want to be a little more sure." Now this is almost the ripe time that I have set in advance. This matter is now under your Royal Highness's leadership, and I really don't ...... Don't want to wait any longer...... So let it all be arranged by His Highness. Whether it is for the wronged and aggrieved people or the people of the world, the meaning of retrieving Zhaoxue personally by His Majesty and retrieving the case after His Royal Highness ascends the throne in the future is always different. ”

"I understand what you mean, and I understand what you expect from me," Xiao Jingyan looked at him deeply, and wanted to call out Xiaoshu's name, but he was a little unstable, hesitated for a while, but endured it, and said, "As long as I can succeed in getting my father to make an order in public, I will definitely turn this case over beautifully, and I will never leave any truth for the little man." ”

Mei Changsu smiled again and slowly raised his eyes, "There is one more thing I want to ask Your Highness......

"What are you polite to me? Just say yes. ”

"On the day of Shouyi, please take your highness with me."

Xiao Jingyan's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at him in surprise.

"I can also be regarded as a guest, although it will still be eye-catching to appear on that occasion, but it is not particularly abrupt. …… After waiting for all these years, whether it is a success or failure in the end, I always want to see that scene with my own eyes......" Mei Changsu said this, and suddenly Jing Yan's expression was wrong, and he paused and asked, "Your Highness, do you feel very embarrassed?" What are you talking about? Xiao Jingyan continued to stare at him, anger had risen in his eyes, "Do you still need to ask me?" You should have been there! It's all your hard work to get to this point, how can I ...... Didn't let you witness the result with your own eyes? ”

"Your Highness......"

Xiao Jingyan suddenly couldn't control himself for some reason, and said with a calm face: "Your Highness, you don't know what my name is?" Did you only know me today? What identity did you just use to tell me that please be my advisor? ”

"Jingyan" Mei Changsu put his left hand on Xiao Jingyan's forearm, pressed it hard, and called his name clearly for the first time after the reunion, "This is also ...... One thing I have to make clear to you......"
