Parking in the courtyard is a gold-lacquered heavy armor dragon chariot.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Rites transferred the dragon chariot from the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites to here overnight, just for today's test ride of the eldest princess.

Because of Liu Xinyan and Li Dong, not only important members of the Ministry of Rites gathered in the courtyard today, but also Wang Shangshu and Wang Ze of the Ministry of Officials were also there.

At this time, the eldest princess had not yet arrived, and the officials of the two ministries chatted casually.

"Thanks to Lord Wang's help this time, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was in a rare mood at this time, and there was a trace of relaxation.

As soon as Sun Shangshu said this, the surrounding officials of the Ministry of Rites all gathered around Wang Shangshu to pat themselves.

"I have long known that the Ministry of Officials is full of talents, but I didn't expect that the project that caused the Ministry of Engineering a headache was easily resolved by the Ministry of Officials."

"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, you have such a capable person under your command, and you are talented!"

Seeing that many officials of the Ministry of Rites were about to shift their focus from Wang Shangshu to Liu Xinyan, Wang Ze hurriedly spoke: "Your Excellency has praised you, the officials are all under the leadership of Lord Wang, how dare we subordinate officials take credit."

The officials present were all shrewd people, and when they heard Wang Ze's words, they immediately understood.

As a result, the scene once again sounded a "happy and convinced" praise, and the praise was all around Wang Shangshu, so that the real heroes Liu Xinyan and Li Dong have long been forgotten.

Liu Xinyan and Li Dong, who stood on one side, were in stark contrast to the many officials who flattered each other on the other side.

The two are like isolated people who have been excluded, and they are like sober bystanders in the world.

Li Dong said indignantly: "Look at Wang Ze's kid, staying by Wang Shangshu's side, looking like a villain. What do you say has to do with him today, and those who don't know think he has done something great."

Liu Xinyan glanced over there, his mind was tied to Long Yuan at this time, and he didn't say anything.

The eldest princess was late, and the officials knelt down.

The eldest princess stepped out of the car, although the officials and people in the imperial capital were maliciously rumored in private that the eldest princess was already an "old girl", but the moment the eldest grandson saw the eldest princess, a sentence still appeared in his mind.

The elegance is peerless, and it is shocking.

I saw that the eldest princess was green like a waterfall, there was no complicated and cumbersome princess bun, just a simple hosta of bamboo blue hairpin, red lips like cherry, skin like mutton fat, the most outstanding is that pair of extremely talented eyes.

That's right, it was because of the glimpse of those eyes that the eldest grandson had the description of "peerless" in his mind.

Today is a test ride on the gold-lacquered heavy-armored dragon chariot, so the eldest princess did not wear a gorgeous and bloated neon dress, but wore a well-fitting cyan brocade robe.

The simple style of brocade clothes not only did not fall into the identity of the eldest princess, but highlighted the eldest princess's bumpy figure to the fullest, coupled with the cold temperament of the eldest princess, making her like a white lotus with clear ripples but not demons.

Today, the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, and its literary and military style is more open than that of previous dynasties, which also makes there be less red tape and more sincerity between monarchs and ministers.

At this time, the eyes of the officials looking at the eldest princess were very sincere, in addition to the awe between the monarch and the minister, there was also a trace of scorching heat hidden in the depths.

The eldest princess is definitely a first-class beauty among the women the eldest grandson has seen, and women such as Tang Yuyan and Pu Ruili can match it in terms of beauty, but the talent in her eyes can only be compared with Si Qin.

And the eldest princess also has a majesty that has been in a high position for a long time, which makes her weak with a natural oppression that makes people unconsciously surrender.

The eldest princess met with many officials in private, which not only showed appropriate approachability, but also awakened the difference between monarchs and ministers in the hearts of officials in just a few words, making everyone hide the heat in their eyes deeper.

The eldest princess came to Liu Xinyan, "I heard Sun Shangshu say that the transformation of the dragon chariot this time is thanks to Lord Liu?"

Even a scholar like Liu Xinyan, who prides himself on being high, looks terrified in front of a royal family member like the eldest princess who holds real power.

"Serving the imperial court is the lifelong wish of the lowly office." Liu Xinyan replied sincerely

。

But such an answer is not the right answer in front of the eldest princess.

"Serving the Imperial Court?" The eldest princess repeated Liu Xinyan's words with interest.

Liu Xinyan's answer is logically said to have no problems, and it is natural for the imperial court to appoint officials to serve the imperial court.

But today's court is the court of Emperor Yaozong.

The eldest princess didn't explain it, but all the fritters present were old fritters, just this seemingly unintentional repetition of Liu Xinyan's words, everyone understood the meaning of the eldest princess.

Wang Ze was secretly happy in his heart, he was still afraid that Liu Xinyan would leave a good impression in front of the eldest princess and it would be detrimental to his later plans, but this Liu Xinyan was really naïve, he was so inflexible, and such a good opportunity not only did not slap the eldest princess, but committed the taboo of the eldest princess.

However, not all of the people present wanted to see Liu Xinyan offend the eldest princess, Sun Shangshu was one of them.

After all, this Liu Xinyan was recommended by Sun Shangshu to the eldest princess, and he praised it in front of the eldest princess yesterday, so Liu Xinyan can't offend the eldest princess at this time.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Liu didn't mean that. He wanted to say that it was an honor for him to serve Her Royal Highness." Sun Shangshu appeared in time to relieve Liu Xinyan, and at the same time lowered his head and kept glancing at Liu Xinyan.

Liu Xinyan tilted his head to look at Sun Shangshu, in his opinion, didn't the two mean the same thing?

However, although he was sluggish, he was not stupid, and when he saw Sun Shangshu's performance like this, his head also turned around and figured out what was "inappropriate" in his words.

Liu Xinyan frowned, in the hearts of a scholar like him, who had read the books of sages and sages, it was against the rules of the court for women to hold too much power in the court.

But of course, Liu Xinyan would not be so stiff as to show this emotion in front of the eldest princess.

"That's what it means to be lowly." Liu Xinyan paused for a moment to reply after Sun Shangshu finished speaking.

The eldest princess didn't pursue these details too much, but she still glanced at Liu Xinyan before leaving, and everyone couldn't delve into what emotions were hidden under the eldest princess's beautiful eyes.

The eldest princess walked towards the courtyard, which was located on the outskirts of the city, and the interior of the courtyard was unique and covered a huge area.

The annex was originally purchased by the former Ministry of Rites for the royal family, specially used to breed horses and beasts for those princes and princesses, and later the former Ministry of Rites was investigated for corruption, and the courtyard was seized by the imperial court.

However, in the end, the temple returned to the Ministry of Rites and continued its previous mission.

The eldest princess has been in this courtyard for a while, and when Emperor Yaozong did not succeed to the throne, the princes and princesses would come to this courtyard to ride horses and party.

At that time, although the princes fought openly and secretly for the throne, everyone was still able to get along with each other on the surface.

And now, the princesses should be out of the cabinet, and the princes are either expelled from the imperial capital, or they become princes and stay in the imperial capital.

But those who remained in the imperial capital were also intimidated by Emperor Yaozong's methods, and they no longer dared to talk as casually as the prince did, let alone gather.

The eldest princess's eyes showed a hint of remembrance, and the courtyard was full of spring, but the eldest princess had a trace of desolation.

Sun Shangshu followed closely behind the eldest princess, introducing the magic of the transformed dragon chariot from time to time.

"In short, Lord Liu's transformation of the dragon chariot this time can be regarded as turning decay into magic, which did not damage the dragon's strong defense, but also greatly improved the comfort of the dragon chariot. Xia Guan dared to say that such an improvement was made in such a short period of time, even if he asked the soul master of the Ministry of Industry to depict the suspension bridge array, he might not be able to achieve such an effect." Sun Shangshu seized the opportunity to praise Liu Xinyan's transformation.

At this time, the eldest princess woke up from the emotions of memory, and after listening to Sun Shangshu's words, she turned around and said with a smile, "Yes, Lord Liu is so talented."

Liu Xinyan lowered his head, there was no emotion in his voice as always, and replied, "Lord Sun's praise for the humble position is a bit exaggerated, and the humble position is only slightly changed, and it does not have such a miraculous effect."

Wang Ze followed the back of the team and almost burst out laughing.

This Liu Xinyan has never let himself down, as always, elm pimples

, Sun Shangshu made up for him like this, but he dismantled the stage on the spot, which is really strange.

Sun Shangshu's face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, we have arrived."

The eldest princess didn't bother with Liu Xinyan's attitude, she had read countless officials, and she had already roughly figured out what kind of official Liu Xinyan was in just this moment.

What's more, Liu Xinyan has no scheming.

The eldest princess looked at the gold-lacquered heavy armor dragon chariot, and at this time there were already four horses in front of the dragon chariot with the chariot.

It is not enough for the gold-lacquered heavy armor dragon chariot to gallop four horses on the battlefield. But the Son of Heaven is the sixth, this is a symbol exclusive to the emperor, even the eldest princess who has great power cannot be encroached upon.

The eldest princess walked up to the horses and caressed them affectionately, all four of which she kept in captivity.

The eldest princess said intentionally or unintentionally, "I have raised you for so many years, and you have to fight for luck if it comes in handy."

"Although I haven't seen you for many years, I haven't been short of eating and drinking for so many years."

The officials behind the eldest princess heard the eldest princess's words that seemed to be said to the horses, and their hearts were all shocked.

And even more nervous is Sun Shangshu.

"Your Highness the Princess...... These horses will not forget your kindness to these horses over the years, and I believe that this autumn hunt is the best opportunity to show your loyalty."

Where does the horse know how to be grateful and show loyalty, Sun Shangshu is just talking about himself and the officials behind him.

But even if he compared himself to a "beast", Sun Shangshu did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of the eldest princess.

At this time, the eldest princess's gaze shifted from the horses to the "horses", and the "horses" were more humble than the horses when they were prostrate on the ground.

"That's very good." The eldest princess still looked like a spring breeze, but the many officials kneeling on the ground did not dare to breathe at this time.

"Get up."

The test ride began, and the subordinates served the eldest princess and entered the dragon chariot.

The eldest princess looked at the brand-new layout in the dragon chariot and nodded with satisfaction.

I saw that the original solid wood seats in the dragon chariot had been wrapped in pale gold cushions, and the surrounding original simple to a little shabby layout was also embellished with all kinds of magnificent but elegant decorations.

The most eye-catching thing is a pale golden flying carpet hanging in the air.

The flying carpet is windless and automatic, and it flutters naturally in the air.

When the eldest princess walked into the dragon chariot, the flying carpet was like a loyal servant, and immediately "greeted" her.

The eldest princess had never seen any strange treasures, but she was still attracted by the surprising scene in front of her.
