In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the peony and the peony compete for beauty, the days pass like flowing water, and the captivity of the little fish seems to be just a nightmare of her own, without setting off a trace of waves in the capital. The initiators of King Ding and the eldest princess did not make any moves.

In addition to the increasingly heavily guarded Hou Mansion, Xiao Yu and Qi Pan were hardly allowed to go out. Even the second prince didn't come to the Hou Mansion much, and Murong Hua didn't have a chance to come to see Xiao Yu, so he just asked someone to bring two small crossbows and some gadgets that he had brought with him after leaving Beijing before.

Hou Ye is idle at home, in addition to seeing some people in the study of the outer courtyard every day, Emperor Tan still seems to attach great importance to this small hair, and from time to time calls Hou Ye into the palace to play chess and talk.

Yue Gongzi's injury gradually improved, but since he recovered from the injury, he has added a cough problem, and he has to cough lightly from time to time, and his already otherworldly appearance has added a touch of weakness, which has attracted the admiration of the girls in the capital more and more.

After several days of inner struggle, Hongxing finally went to the inn where the juggling troupe was located in disguise one day, and it is said that she cried alone for a long time after returning to Huayue Tower.

And Qi Pan, Xiao Yu, and Qi Fei are now taught by Aunt Liu every day in addition to the rules, female red, Mrs. also officially invited a female gentleman to teach a few people the piano skills, Xiao Yu and Qi Pan have to go to Mrs. Qin every other day to learn painting and calligraphy.

Xiaoyu also has to undergo devil training with gold bricks, so she is very busy during this time.

Everything was surging under the seemingly calm surface, and a tense atmosphere began to permeate the capital at some point.

According to the information from Yue Gongzi's investigation, King Ding actually controlled a shadow organization of Emperor Tan, and Emperor Tan trusted this half-brother so much, which surprised Xiao Yu.

On this day, Xiaoyu was learning the piano art, and the queen came from the palace to ask Xiaoyu to enter the palace immediately. This sudden summons startled Xiaoyu, and this was the first time since the queen's birthday.

Xiao Yu hurriedly changed into a formal dress and entered the palace with the eunuch who came to announce the decree. Along the way, no matter how Xiaoyu flattered and sold cuteness, he wanted to talk to the eunuch from the mouth, but the eunuch didn't eat it and turned a deaf ear to Xiaoyu's words.

After Xiao Yu followed the eunuch into the palace, the more she walked, the more she felt that something was wrong, she was surprised to find that the road they took was not the road to Kunning Palace, but to Qianqing Palace, wasn't it the queen who summoned her, but Emperor Tan wanted to see her?

Xiao Yu was nervous all the way, and when the magnificent palace appeared in front of Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu caught a glimpse of the plaque above the palace gate with the three big characters of Qianqing Palace written on it.

Xiao Yu stepped into the palace gate, and another eunuch came over to lead Xiao Yu. When Xiaoyu entered the Qianqing Palace, the person who stood tall was indeed Emperor Tan.

When Xiao Yu knelt down and bowed to Emperor Tan three times and nine times, he didn't call out, but just watched Xiao Yu silently for a long time. Xiao Yu's knees were numb on his knees, so he let Xiao Yu get up, and at this time, the cold sweat on Xiao Yu's back had already wet his clothes.

"I came to ask you, who are you? But you have to tell the truth, and you need to know the sin of deceit. It is to punish the nine tribes. Emperor Tan's words came slowly above the silent hall.

Xiao Yu chuckled in her heart, she didn't know what Emperor Tan knew, but when she asked her like this, she really didn't want to involve the Hou Mansion, the last time she was at King Ding, King Ding almost revealed her true identity.

King Ding also told Xiao Yu about his hatred for Emperor Tan, of course, at that time, King Ding was in his hands, but now Xiao Yu has been out of his grasp, and Xiao Yu has been worried that King Ding will take her life to keep this secret.

Xiao Yu calmed down, straightened her dress, knelt down and kowtowed: "Back to Your Majesty, the little girl is a village girl on the border of West Vietnam, and this matter is not a secret in the capital, the little girl doesn't know what else Your Majesty has any problems?" ”

Emperor Tan snorted: "But recently, someone told me that you are not a country woman from the border of West Vietnam. ”

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth, and continued to pretend to be stupid: "Then what does Your Majesty think of the little girl?" ”

Emperor Tan's voice softened: "Aren't you Yun Churan?" ”

Xiao Yu's heart tightened, but she pretended to be confused and asked, "Who is Yun Churan?" How come the little girl has never heard of it? ”

Emperor Tan slapped the armrest of the throne vigorously and said, "Are you still pretending to be stupid for me?" ”

Xiao Yu was ruthless in his heart, and kowtowed heavily: "Back to Your Majesty, the little girl really doesn't know!" ”

For some reason, Emperor Tan seemed to be in a good mood today, and said with a smile in his tone: "If you don't tell the truth, I will give you to the king, you must know that the king of Ding has recently asked me to marry you!" ”

Xiao Yu's face changed greatly, so he had to raise his head and say, "Your Majesty, please don't give me a marriage to the king!" ”

Emperor Tan said lightly: "Oh? You don't even care about the prince, do you want to marry the prince? “

Xiao Yu bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the little girl only wants to be single-minded, and the white head is inseparable!" “

Emperor Tan sighed slightly: "Before...... Lan Zhi ...... That's what I said."

The conversation fell into silence for a while, Xiao Yu lay on the ground and did not dare to raise his head, and after a while, he heard Emperor Tan on the throne say: "You get up, take a few steps forward, let me take a good look at you!" The little fish didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so he had to get up and walk forward nervously.

Emperor Tan looked at Xiao Yu silently, as if through the slender figure in front of him, he saw another haunting face.

Xiao Yu looked up boldly, only to find that this high emperor had frosted white temples. Her heart couldn't help but be shocked, she remembered that Emperor Tan was only in his thirties now, but the years had already left traces on his face.

Emperor Tan's heart beat slightly when he was looked at by Xiao Yu's pure eyes, and he sighed softly: "Alas, your mother was as old as you are now. It's all my fault, I fell in love with your mother at first sight, but your mother said that I had married the queen, and she couldn't be caught between us and be a third party, but I tried to use the emperor's power to force your mother to enter the palace. “

Under the agitation of Emperor Tan, he had forgotten to use my self-title, he seemed to have decided that Xiaoyu was Yun Churan, regardless of Xiaoyu's denial, and continued: "At that time...... Your mother also said that she is pursuing a couple for the rest of her life, and I can never promise it. In the end, your mother was forced by me to leave the capital and hide in a place where I couldn't find it! ”

"I sent people to walk all over the mountains and rivers of Datan, but I never got a trace of your mother, until a few years later, I didn't know that your mother later came to Xiyue to marry your father." , Emperor Tan looked at Xiaoyu quietly, and then said to himself: "Your mother must have lived a very happy life in this life, I don't know if she will hate me?" ”

Then he sighed again: "Actually, there is no love and hate, I think your mother may have forgotten me!" ”

Xiao Yu silently listened to the sighs of this generation of emperors, and for Xiao Yu, he actually had no impression of the queen and king of Xiyue.

It's just that I once heard the nurse say that the king of Xiyue and the future are a pair of fairy couples, and they are deeply supported and loved by the people. Especially the queen of Western Vietnam.

The queen of Xiyue was not only beautiful, but also very insightful, and she called on the women of Xiyue to go to school.

She not only opened the charity hall and sheltered the orphans, but also implemented the minimum guarantee in Xiyue, so that every person has food and clothing, and put forward many suggestions to her husband to benefit the people.

Emperor Tan then said: "It's all my fault that I am too obsessed, I attacked Xiyue, and I originally just wanted to force her to come out to see me." But I didn't expect your mother to be so strong, she would rather have jade broken than be wronged, and your father is like this, he would rather die with the queen, but fortunately, they still left you. ”

Xiaoyu only then understood the reason why Emperor Tan destroyed Xiyue, and now it seems that Emperor Tan has regretted it. Emperor Tan muttered a lot of past events to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu knelt there silently, listening to this lonely emperor tell the secrets in his heart that he could not talk to outsiders.

In the end, Emperor Tan looked at Xiao Yu and said: "I don't have a daughter, so I treat you as if I was my own daughter in my heart, so let's make you the lord of the county?" ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, the little girl becoming Miss Hou Mansion is already like being roasted on the fire, if the little girl is named the county lord, then the little girl will never have peace?" ”

Emperor Tan frowned and shouted, "Who dare! With me protecting you, what are you afraid of? At this moment, the infatuated and frustrated middle-aged man seemed to only exist in the illusion of Xiaoyu, and the majestic emperor was back.

Xiao Yu boldly continued: "If Your Majesty can, can you remove the name of the little girl, the daughter of the destiny, the little girl is really annoyed to death by this name now!" ”

Emperor Tan smiled slightly: "What are you afraid of?" That's it, I'd like to see who will beat you, the Daughter of Destiny. ”

Xiao Yu was speechless for a moment, she didn't want to be used as bait by Emperor Tan.

Emperor Tan looked at Xiao Yu kindly and said, "Don't worry, the daughter left by Lan Zhi, I ...... I have been ashamed of Lan Zhi in this life, and her daughter I will definitely treat her well. Your marriage in the future...... I want to ...... You must be like Lan Zhi, I will listen to your opinion, don't worry! ”

Xiaoyu was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again to thank him. Emperor Tan sighed slightly: "Your temperament is not like your mother, your mother would rather ...... I'd rather die than bend to the powerful at will......"

Xiao Yu straightened his back and looked at Emperor Tan and said, "If I were like my mother, then Your Majesty would not have seen me a long time ago, and I would have long been out of this world!" ”

Emperor Tan sighed and said, "You have a point, okay, you can step down, and come to the palace to talk to me when you have time in the future!" ”
