"Princess, the royal sacrifice is coming, every year Your Majesty basically has to bring your family members and go to Daotian Temple to pray for the deceased together, in the past, you always stayed alone in the cold palace for this sacrifice, and this year Your Majesty finally ordered to take you!" Xiaohe helps her remove the hairpin behind Expediency.

"What's so good to be happy about, this road is long and long, I don't know how many eyes are staring at me, and each has no kind eyes." Expedacy sneered.

She knew what her situation was, because of Ji Fu, everyone was staring at her, afraid that she would climb the big fish, and maybe the situation in Beijing would change greatly.

When Xiaohe heard her say this, she was a little flustered: "Red Princess, what should we do then, is it difficult for us to resign." ”

Expedient shook his head: "Naturally not, the sacrifice is a royal event, if I shirk it at this moment, it will cause my father's dissatisfaction, wouldn't it be as they wished." ”

"Then ......" Xiaohe became more and more unable to understand what her princess meant.

"Naturally, we have seen the move, tomorrow when Manqing enters the palace, we will discuss countermeasures together, the time is not early, you should go and rest quickly!" Expedient patted her hand and motioned for her to go down and rest.

Xiaohe bowed and retreated.

In the council hall, Ji Fu was arguing with Zhao Zi, and You Xin had to fight with Zhao Zi against Ji Fu.

"Can you shut up?" However, Zhao Zi did not accept his affection, and begged him not to be greedy for the affairs of the two.

Yusin touched his nose and turned around stupidly.

The emperor sat behind the table, holding his head with his hands, and let the three of them make noise, until finally quieted down, and then he had the right to speak: "This is a sacrifice, a royal event, but the palace cannot be left unguarded, I let the three of you come to decide who goes and who stays." ”

"Your Majesty, if the minister remembers well, the two adults were responsible for the safety during the hunt, but in the end, they still let people take advantage of the situation and almost hurt Your Majesty." Ji Fu sneered at the incompetence of the two last time.

Zhao Zi was not convinced, stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has always followed Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is not in the palace, let the minister stay in the palace, the minister is really worried." ”

"Lord Zhao, how can you guarantee that you won't let people take advantage of the loophole like last time, last time it was Your Majesty's blessings, and I don't dare to put Your Majesty's safety in the hands of the two of you again!"

In the end, the three of them still couldn't decide a winner, and Kwon Duo waved his hand to let the three of them retreat, saying that he was discussing.

Expedient happened to be holding the nourishing soup made in the small kitchen, and Grandpa Su outside told her that His Majesty was discussing the matter and asked her to wait a while. Then she heard the three of them arguing.

I was a little curious, what the emperor said on weekdays was why there was such a big battle, and the three of them had to fight for the victory.

She was thinking about it, when the door of the palace was opened, and Zhao Zi was the first to come out, and bowed to her: "See the Seventh Princess!" ”

Quan Yi smiled faintly: "Commander Zhao doesn't have to be polite, get up!" ”

You Xin came out immediately, and just as he was about to salute, he immediately turned his head and walked a few steps to Ji Fu's side, smiling brightly: "Master Hou is also here." ”

Ji Fu still had a cold face, and his expression eased when he saw her, "Why is the princess here?"

"I heard from the palace that my father has been infected with a cold recently, so I specially ordered the kitchen to make some soup to keep warm from the cold, and the princess bothered the Hou Ye and left first."

Ji Fu bowed his hand: "Princess, please!" ”

Gonggong Su led the expedient into the main hall, the emperor was bowing his head to read the official documents, and Gonggong Su stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the seventh princess is here!" ”

Quan Duo stopped his hand and looked up, Expediency's days were a little more mellow than before, no longer weak, and seemed to be more generous than before: "Expediency, why are you here?"

"Father, my son-in-law heard that day that you had a dry throat and chapped lips, thinking that you should be uncomfortable, so I specially asked someone to make a warm soup to ward off the cold, you can taste it, and thank you for letting me go to the sacrifice a few days later!" Quan Yi said that Gonggong Su beside him presented the soup.

Gonggong Su scooped a spoonful of soup from the bowl on the side and handed it to the emperor, the emperor stirred a few times, scooped up a spoonful, put it to his mouth, and after repeating it a few times, his frowning brows slowly unfolded, and there seemed to be a smile on his face.

"This is what your mother often boiled for me, and it seems that she handed it over to you!" Kwon Duo looked down at the soup in the bowl, as if he was stuck in a memory.

Quan Yi laughed lightly: "The concubine's craft, Erchen has only learned less than half of it, and it is far less than the concubine's skill." ”

"You don't have to be modest, none of your imperial brothers, none of the imperial sisters are more attentive than you, you have a heart." Quan Duo waved his hand, handed the bowl in his hand to Gonggong Su, and got up and walked in front of her from Zhuo Hou.

"When you were a child, you saw me, there was no fear, I don't know when you became cowardly, but now you seem to be back when you were a child, the past sacrifice you were sick and weak, it is not good for you to follow, now you are also seventeen, this time I went to Daotian Temple to pray for your mother's concubine!"

Expedient: "The words of my father, the sons and daughters will take it to heart." ”

"Okay, you go down and prepare, you can't let go of it here." Quan Duo waved back to the table.

Expedient went out of the palace gate, and a force rushed from nowhere, pulling her aside. But Expedient was relieved, because she asked about the man's exclusive aura.

Ji Fu directly pulled her into the carriage that came out of the back door, and gave her a word to go, and the carriage moved.

His face was still black, and he was still in a bad mood.

"Master Hou pulled me here, wouldn't it just let me see your black face?" Puzzled, he got up and sat down beside him.

"Let's talk about it, what can make Hou Ye worry like this, is it not a conflict with Zhao Commander in the main hall."

Ji Fu raised his eyes to look at her and leaned back, "Not really, I remembered an old thing." ”

"Something to do with Commander Zhao?"

Ji Fu didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"You don't seem to want to say it, then I have something to tell you, every year the royal sacrifice, the father is just a matter of one sentence, but today I summoned all three of you, knowing that the three of you are not in harmony, you don't want to know what your father means."

Expedient said and poured him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him. Ji Fu stretched out his hand to take it: "Your Majesty is testing what my relationship with Zhao Zi is, but I think he has seen what he wants." ”

"This shows that my father wants to leave you alone, Zhao Zi is the commander of his forbidden army, and you are the Marquis of Shuofeng, if you two still don't distinguish between you and me as before, he will be very suspicious and jealous of your two positions towards the prince, thus threatening him."

Ji Fu nodded, and looked sideways at the head of the analysis is expedient: "Princess, I can't see you clearly, after all, it's your father, and you actually arranged your father in front of a foreign minister." ”

"On the side of the emperor, how can I allow others to sleep soundly, my mother and his childhood sweetheart, love and affection, but he loves his country more than power, I just plan for myself. , I have a plan to make my father less wary of you, does the Hou Ye want to hear it. ”

Expedient raised his eyebrows, playfully tight, Ji Fu snorted, "Let's hear it." ”

Quan Yi whispered a few words in front of his ear, Ji Fu's expression kept changing, and in the end, he actually smiled a little. Looking at her meaninglessly, "Is the princess's plan for the sake of this wait, or is it just for her own selfish interests?"

Expediency was not weak when he was exposed, and shrugged his shoulders, "Master Hou is so smart, if you think about it carefully, you will know if this princess is for personal gain." ”

She deliberately boiled soup in front of Ji Fu today that only her mother would have, intending to evoke Quan Duo's memories and sell it miserably by the way. If Quan Duo in the past naturally disdained her measurements, but now that Quan Duo is getting older, he cares more about family affection and what his heirs think of him.

At this time, it is expedient to bring up the deceased again, which is to make him weak-hearted, so that he can't speak, and naturally he will try to make up for the living person with that guilt.

Therefore, there is no possibility that the plan she gave Ji Fu will fail.

It can not only let him let go of his wariness of Ji Fu, but also let him comfort himself in his heart.

Three days later.

Daotian Temple is on the mountain side of the capital, and it is specially ordered to be repaired by the emperor when he was alive, and it is set up as a Taoist hall for royal sacrifices.

The royal sacrifice began, and the escort of the person in charge of security this time was not only Wanhumen, but also Youxin with a pair of people. Zhao Zi stayed in the capital and was in charge of backup.

The group went to the Heavenly Temple in a mighty way, and it was not until the evening that they saw the temple gate of the Daotian Temple. There are already monks waiting here in front of the temple, and the leader should be Master Jiyuan, the presiding officer of Daotian Temple.

Ji Fu was the first to dismount, and the emperor and others dismounted in turn with the support of his subordinates.

Master Jiyuan and his disciples immediately greeted him and saluted: "Amitabha, Your Majesty, it is really hard to travel all the way, the poor monk has asked people to prepare meals and hot water, and you can wash and rest after dinner." ”

The emperor waved his hand, "Ji Yuan doesn't have to be polite, Ji Fu, let people go in and be quiet, don't disturb the monks in the temple to meditate." ”

"Yes!"

After the order, Ji Yuan followed the emperor and entered the temple first, the guards behind him went to settle the carriage, and the prince and princess followed the monk to his meditation room.

Expedient took Xiaohe, Manqing followed a child, the child was less than the waist height of Expediency, and the tiger head was a little cute.

It's just that such an older child has already left home, and there must be no one at home.

When she arrived at the place, the little monk saluted her, and his voice was soft, but dignified and solemn: "A few donors, this is the residence of a few people, and the poor monk will not go in." ”

This momentum does not lose the expediency of a few adults, and the expedient is shallow: "There is a little elder Lao." ”

The little monk saluted again, and then left, and Man Qing also came out after entering the house to check, "Princess, I have checked the house, and there is nothing abnormal." ”

Expediency nodded, "Well, you've worked hard!" ”

As soon as the three of them packed up their things, another monk came up with the food, Xiaohe took it and thanked him, and Manqing had already taken the silver needle and tried it, and there was no problem.

Expedient patted her: "Manqing, rest assured, today is the beginning, it is not good for them to do it so early, if something happens tonight, what my father suspects is that someone is trying to kill him, this is not a trivial matter." ”

"Okay, after a day of driving, my waist is a little uncomfortable in the carriage, so let's go to bed early after eating and bathing."

Ji Fu settled down, and after the patrolling men and horses, the area in charge of Yu Xin was also settled, and the two faced each other when they returned to the house.

"Master Hou also lives?" Yu Xin deliberately disgusted Ji Fu.

Ji Fu snorted coldly, "Isn't it Lord You's meditation room is also here!" ”

You Xin nodded, Ji Fu endured the boredom in his heart, "I think about it, there is still something to explain, Lord You is at his own convenience!" ”

Yun Yi saw that Ji Fu had left, and turned back, and was very puzzled: "Master, didn't you go back to rest, there are subordinates and Yun Ran." ”

"It's okay, it's good to blow a cold wind, it's better than living in the same room with Yushin."

Yun Yi and Yun Ran glanced at each other, indicating that they did not understand.

"Master, in the middle of the night, the Seventh Princess doesn't know how to arrange it, after all, there are only three girls, and Shen Xuzhi's goods came to me on purpose, and asked his subordinates to help take care of Manqing, you see?" Yun Ran had a plan and immediately stepped forward to prompt.

Ji Fu glanced at him, and Yun Yi next to him also began to help, "Ah, yes, master, the meditation room on the princess's side is a little far away from us, if something happens, you won't be able to catch up for a while, you might as well go and see how they arrange it." ”

Ji Fu lowered his eyes and pondered, and after a while, he patted Yun Yi on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Leaving Yun Yi, Yun Ran looked at each other and smiled, this is not the princess that their master took the initiative to find, this is for the sake of the princess's safety.
