In the Imperial Study——

"The son asks his father for peace, and may his father be blessed and safe." Jin Ge met the emperor alone, and she knelt in front of the bookcase in purple clothes.

"Why are you riding horses in the city?" The emperor played with the jade bead bracelet and asked directly.

Danqing has a law that except for war, it is not allowed to ride a horse in the capital, let alone gallop a horse.

"Back to my father's words, my son's ministers ......" Jin Ge paused, hesitating how to answer the emperor.

"Your important thing is to be anxious to see King Xiang." The emperor said in one word. In fact, it is not difficult to think that since the "fireworks incident", the matter between her and Ling Zisu has basically become a household name, and even become a thing that ordinary people talk about after dinner.

"The son knows his mistake."

"Do you really know what's wrong?" The emperor asked rhetorically, and it was obvious that he did not believe it, "You don't know what is wrong, and if you know what is wrong, you will not make it knowingly." "You and Jinxuan are both princesses, one is out of the plug to marry, and the other has to envelop the subordinates, which is the responsibility of the princess."

Jin Ge raised his head when he heard this, his eyes mixed with grief and indignation. The two looked at each other in silence, and suddenly Jin Ge smiled sadly: "The courtiers really thanked Your Majesty for the reward." ”

She was not a princess, but she wanted to become the so-called necessary princess Linglan for Danqing and Jinxuan, which was all the emperor's selfish desire, just because he loved his daughter.

The rulers of all dynasties were ruthless and clean, and the current emperor is naturally no exception. The Qingyang Marquis Mansion is full of loyal martyrs, leaving only Jin Ge as a descendant, but despite this, he will not let go of the last trace of value of the Mu family.

"You blame me." The emperor's rare calm, which is more like an objective statement of a thing. "Do you think it's better to be Miss Houfu?"

Jin Ge didn't speak, so he acquiesced.

The emperor took a sip of tea, threw the bracelet on the table casually, got up and walked to Jin Ge, and looked at her condescendingly: "I will tell you the fate of being Miss Houfu." If the Marquis of Qingyang had not died in battle, and your brother Mu Hongyu was still alive, he would have guarded the territory for me, and he would be a general on a par with Su Ze, no matter whether he was a master or not in the future, you would only have one way to go. ”

Enter the palace and be a concubine.

“……”

"When Gu Zike comes back is completely up to you." The emperor looked directly at the Lingxiao flower golden hairpin on Jin Ge's head, and said coldly: "You have your own queen mother to reward a pair of lily of the valley golden hairpin, so you don't need to bring other flowers." ”

You have your own queen mother and me in charge, don't be noisy and lose your senses.

Jin Ge was silent for a long time, and finally took off the Lingxiao Flower Golden Hairpin and gave it to the emperor with both hands. After he took it, he said: "Go back to your princess's mansion and think about it behind closed doors, and you can't go out unless you are forgiven......"

"Slaves and maids visit the emperor." Aunt Li, who was next to the Queen Mother, came in from outside the imperial study and saluted.

"Aunt Li, please speak." The emperor motioned for her to get up, he knew that Aunt Li must have come to pass on the words of the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother instructed Princess Linglan to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and the Queen Mother has not seen the princess in the past few days.

The emperor rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "The queen mother is old, if she can't kneel in heaven and earth, don't kneel, Ling Lan should go and accompany her." ”

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The Queen Mother said that Princess Linglan has been weak since she was a child, and she has been sick for a long time, so it is not suitable to go out, but don't suffocate her, which is not conducive to recovery. ”

"I know what the Queen Mother means." After the emperor paused, he handed the Lingxiao flower golden hairpin to Aunt Li, "Please ask the queen mother to put this golden hairpin away." Immediately, he beckoned to Jin Ge again: "Go, go and accompany the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha." ”

…………

After Jin Ge finished the Buddha, he went out and found that there was an extra line of guards at the door of Shoukang Palace, saying that because Jin Ge was always assassinated before, the emperor specially sent guards to protect her, and Jin Ge "thanked the Lord Long En" and went back to the princess's mansion directly under the "escort" of the guards.

The entrance of her house is still quite spectacular, guarded by a circle of Praetorian Guards, and at a glance you can see that it is the emperor's handiwork. The emperor allowed others to visit her, but she could not take half a step out of the palace gate, and declared to the public that Princess Ling Lan was in poor health and needed to recuperate.

"Your Highness......" Peach thought about what to say to comfort Jin Ge, but she didn't know where to start.

Jin Ge looked at the plaque on the door, but without saying a word, he lifted his skirt and walked into the door.

"Xiao Anzi, the palace is going to rest." Jin Ge took off the cloak and handed it to Taohong to hang on, and after Xiao Anzi stepped back, he stood at the door with Taohong and Liulu, not letting anyone enter the room. Jin Ge lay on the couch again and read the poetry collection for a while, then undressed and went to sleep.

She was dreaming of the vicious, lightning and thunder of the northwest border pass, and was suddenly woken up by a "bang" sound, she sat up in shock and saw Jinxuan standing at the door, next to the upside-down wooden door.

"Ah Xuan, what are you doing to embarrass Xiao Anzi."

Jin Ge rubbed the corners of his forehead, and Xiao Anzi, who looked aggrieved next to him, had tears in his eyes, and he almost cried.

"He went too far, he wouldn't let me in!" Jinxuan looked at the "weak" Xiao Anzi and wanted to punch him in the face.

"I told him to guard the door and not let anyone in. You saw that you couldn't open the window, so you simply kicked my door out. ”

"Who knew that your door was so unpushed, in disrepair, and my father didn't say to repair it for you." Jinxuan retracted the foot she had just kicked the door, adjusted her skirt and strode into the door, leaving the teary-eyed Xiao Anzi at the door with a jet-black back of her head.

"What did my father tell you, why are there so many Praetorian Guards at the gate," Jin Xuan recalled the strength of the guards at the door, "I remember that the leader seems to be in charge of the security of the palace before, and it seems that his surname is Bai." ”

I had caught her many times in the palace before, so that she subconsciously wanted to hide when she saw that face.

Jin Ge: "...... Naturally, it was because of Brother Zisu. ”

"The eldest brother has gone to the border, and my father is still angry? I'm a little stingy. Sent people to guard the waiting house, not allowed to enter or leave, and there are some people in the market who say it now. ”

"Ah Xuan, be cautious."

“…… Eh, don't talk about this, after my father found you, he summoned me over, and asked me to learn more rules, saying that I am not too young to be willful all day long, good sister, you can save me, then the priest will come to my palace to walk around, and the ash of my palace gate can accumulate three feet high! ”

Jinxuan sat down on the stool without seeing anything, picked up the pot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and then said to himself: "I really think that my father has been a little wrong recently, it seems that everything has to be controlled, and now even I have to be chattered twice when I leave the palace, and today I even sent someone to watch me all the way back to Fengyang Pavilion, for fear that I would run away, if it weren't for Cuizhu, I would still be in the palace waiting for the ceremony." ”

Jinxuan seemed to be more and more energetic the more she spoke, and the bitter water of the past few days poured out:

"The eldest brother was sent to the border gate, and the second brother didn't move, I don't know what to do in the house, and even Sister-in-law Nuoye didn't hand me a post recently to invite me to come over the house to chat." Jinxuan looked at Jin Ge with a pale face, and couldn't help worrying, "You are also now, you seem to be carrying a thousand catties of burdens every day......"

"The Holy Admiral took the Ling Xiaohua Golden Hairpin." Jin Ge had already put on her clothes when she was talking at Jinxuan Bar, she sat in front of the dresser and tied her hair up casually, and said lightly.

Jinxuan opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, she was shocked and upset for Jin Ge, and the golden hairpin knew at a glance that it was her eldest brother Yu Jin Ge'er's love token, and her father actually beat the mandarin duck.

"Let's go, go to the back garden."

"That'...... Let's find a way to get the golden hairpin back," Jin Xuan followed Jin Ge to the back garden, "Let's go and ask the imperial grandmother!" Grandmother loves you the most, she ......"

"Not necessarily." Jin Ge picked a flower and pinched it in his hand to play with it, "Brother Zisu will definitely give me a better one in the future." ”

Jinxuan: ???

Jin Ge put the flower on Jin Xuan's head and explained: "This golden hairpin was given to Emperor Huimin by the imperial grandmother, and Brother Zisu gave me the golden hairpin to return it to the imperial grandmother by the hand of the saint." She looked at the flower and Jinxuan's mismatch, and took the flower off and threw it into the pool with a disgusted face.

"As soon as you say that, I remember," Jinxuan glanced at the flowers that were stubbornly floating in the pool, "I heard that when my father was the prince before, I thought about marrying the imperial concubine as the main concubine, but unfortunately the imperial concubine's family declined, and the imperial grandfather looked down on it, so he chose the queen mother as the main concubine for his father. But the imperial concubine has a high temperament and refuses to be a side concubine, so her father is good at talking, so she agreed. But later, she had a miscarriage of her first child and was estranged from her father, and the imperial grandmother gave this pair of Lingxiao flower golden hairpins in order to comfort the imperial concubine. ”

Jinxuan watched Jin Ge look at herself with eyes that had always hated iron and steel, and when she became white, her little sister might mistakenly think that she was going to inquire again.

"I'm talking about the grandmother in the palace, so I should know more about my father~"

Jinxuan snatched a few fish food from the Jin singer, and said: "I'm white, my eldest brother's move is to make love with you, the second is to ask the emperor's grandmother to protect you, and the third is to show my father's love for you." ”

Jin Ge stopped talking, she took the fish food jar from Liu Lu's hand, and began to concentrate on feeding the fish.

"So...... What did my father tell you? Jinxuan quickly broke her peace, out of curiosity and concern.

"He said that no matter which path I take, I am destined not to be with Brother Zisu." Jin Ge impatiently poured all the fish food into the pool, turned around and sat on the stone bench, picked up the mung bean cake and spit it out after eating it: "It's really unpalatable." Pink, where did you get your cook? I don't care so much. ”

"Really? I'll taste it. Jinxuan listened to Jin Ge's rare resentment towards the slave, so she also picked up a piece and tasted it, "It's not unpalatable...... she wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered that Jin Ge was in a bad mood, most likely because she didn't want to eat.

Jinxuan ate a mung bean cake and racked her brains to think about how to comfort Jinge. If you can't think of it, eat a piece of mung bean cake, or you can't think of it, eat another piece of mung bean cake...... So, she finished a plate of mung bean cakes, but she still didn't come up with it.

The brain is empty and the stomach is full.

"Peach, you go and get the third princess soup." Jin Ge rubbed the corners of her forehead, she was so busy that she didn't notice that her mood affected Jinxuan.

After walking away everyone around her, she sighed and asked, "Now that there is no one else around, I will ask you, who do you think will be the crown prince and ascend the throne?" ”

"This ......" Jinxuan rubbed her stomach and thought about it carefully: "My eldest brother's temperament is more suitable for being an emperor, but everyone with yin eyes can see that my father and emperor like my second brother." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Yubai is like an emperor, his mother is favored, and he has been raised under the queen's knees since he was a child, so he is naturally the best choice for the heir. And Ling Zisu, although he is the eldest son of the emperor, he is dragged down by the past between his mother and the emperor, and every time the emperor looks at him, he will only increase his sadness.

"What do you ask for?"

"If my brother were still around, who do you think I would be pointed to?"

Seeing that Jin Xuan was silent, Jin Ge knew that she had an answer in her heart, and Jin Ge continued: "I'm just afraid of ......"

"If Brother Hongyu is still there, he will definitely be reluctant to let you suffer the slightest grievance. Even if you are accused of marriage, not to mention how you and your eldest brother are, my second brother and Sister-in-law Nuoye will definitely not allow it! The more Jinxuan spoke, the more excited she became, she slapped the table, stood up and said, "My father deliberately said it to you in order to dispel your thoughts, this is his usual method!" Jin Ge'er, don't be depressed! ”

Jin Ge sighed, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Jin Xuan: "Jin Ge'er, think about it calmly, in fact, my eldest brother should have a way." If he didn't have a way, how could he go to the northwest to guard the customs with peace of mind?! ”

Jin Ge's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt as if Jinxuan had a large glowing plate on top of her head. She took a sip of tea and suddenly smiled: "You're right. ”

"Your Highness, this is a soup for the third princess, and the slave maid just asked the new cook......"

"It's not important, let them prepare dinner," Jin Ge waved his hand to interrupt the returning Taohong, "Ah Xuan, do you want to go back to practice?" ”

"I ......"

"Cuizhu, if you go back to the Holy Heaven. said that the palace kept the third princess for dinner, and she would not return to the palace today. Jin Ge helped her directly make the decision.

Jinxuan exclaimed in her heart.

The two of them turned around the back garden, and went back to the main hall to drink a few teas, and the cooks cooked their meal. After eating, he took a walk in the Qingyang Marquis Mansion to eat, and returned to Jinge's boudoir while walking.

"Goo." There was a carrier pigeon in front of the window, and it looked like it had been there for a long time.

"Wow, I've read the book of the flying pigeon." Curious, Jinxuan approached the carrier pigeon, took a note from its foot, and handed it to Jinge.

After Jin Ge opened it, he saw that it read:

"I've rested at the station, all is well, don't read it."

It's Ling Zisu.

Jin Ge smiled, put the note away, sat down in front of the bookcase, and wrote, "Good night." ”
