After a few rains, summer came unexpectedly, and looking at the Qinling Mountains from Chang'an, it was already thick green.

In the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, Liu Xun, who was sitting eastward, put down the file in his hand and looked out of the door in a daze. There were a few immature cicadas in the courtyard, and Liu Xun said to himself, "In a few days, it will be the summer solstice, and the wheat should be ripe."

Wei Xiang and Shi Gao entered the palace on duty that day, and they also looked at the music in the Xuanshu Palace, Wei Xiang said: "This year's wind and rain are smooth, and it will be a good harvest." With that, he carefully reviewed the recital.

Shi Gao picked out a roll of bamboo slips, opened it and looked at it for a while, with a strange expression, and then read: "Feng Yin, please seal Hou Shu."

"Feng Yin, Feng Zidu? Please be a marquis? Liu Xun was dumbfounded, staring at Shi Gao.

Shi Gao nodded: "It's the old official of Huo Mansion, Taizhong Doctor, Ren Xuanshang." ”

"Feng Zidu is a marquis? This, this is too. Liu Xun muttered.

When Wei Xiang heard this, he glanced at Liu Xun in surprise.

Liu Xun noticed his expression, waved his hand, and said: "I grew up in the people, and I speak like this, and we monarchs and ministers don't need to be crepe here." ”

"Feng Zidu is a marquis?" He repeated it, thinking it was too incredible, so he asked Shi Gao: "Why did he ask for the title of Marquis for a male favorite." At that time, Emperor Xiaozhao wanted to crown Jin Jian, the son of Jin Riyan, as a marquis, and the general said, 'The first emperor has an appointment first, and he has merit to be crowned a marquis'. Emperor Zhao had no choice but to give up. ”

Shi Gao spread out the bamboo slips, lowered his head and pointed, and said, "It's a foreign relative to ask for a marquis."

Wei Xiangdao: "The Han family is a marquis, and there are only four cases of meritorious heroes, princes, relatives and favors. The queen is from the Huo family, and the Huo family is naturally a relative. ”

"The Huo family is a relative, what is Feng Zi?" Liu Xun still didn't understand.

"Song Shu said that he is Huo Guang's adopted son." Shi Gao nodded and said: "The general often plans with him, and is cautious and loyal. ”

Liu Xun was funny and angry, stood up and paced in circles, and kept saying: "Feng Zidu, Feng Zidu." ”

"Feng Zidu? Where is Feng Zi? ”

Suddenly, a half-sized girl jumped out of the door, with a pretty face that was white and red, with a nose and a sandal, picturesque eyebrows, blinking and looking around with big watery eyes, and her mouth couldn't stop shouting.

Wei Xiang was a foreign minister who entered the cabinet and didn't know much about the affairs in the palace, so he was stunned when he saw this scene. After coming back to his senses a little, he quietly looked at it again, and felt that this little girl was neither like a concubine nor a palace maid, so he was puzzled, so he turned his head to look at Shi Gao.

Shi Gao got up with a smile and said, "Shi Gao asked Her Royal Highness the princess to be well, and she will live forever." Seeing this, Wei Xiang also gave a salute and said, "May Her Royal Highness the princess live forever and live forever."

The little princess ignored them and asked Liu Xun eagerly, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Feng Zidu?" Where is Feng Zi? ”

Liu Xun was curious: "How do you know Feng Zidu." ”

The little princess looked disdainful: "Who in this Chang'an City doesn't know 'Silver Saddle Feng Zidu'." ”

"Then you know Feng Zidu."

"I've seen it, that Feng Zidu is really demure and demonic." The little princess said obsessively.

Seeing her innocent appearance, Liu Xun couldn't help but smile slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you meet him?" ”

"The Jiaofang Hall of Changle Palace where the queen lives."

"Ahh

The little princess looked at the three of them with wide eyes, and felt that their reaction was very strange, and muttered, "What's all the fuss about, I've seen it several times, but it's all far away." The queen's mother and sisters often go to the Jiaofang Hall of Changle Palace, and they go there day and night, which is very noisy. Feng Zidu also came from time to time, and he was taller, so I recognized him. However, I never go to the Jiaofang Hall of Changle Palace, the queen treats people coldly, and the queen mother is close to me. I went to Changxin Palace and passed by the Jiaofang Palace. ”

Weiyang Palace also has a Jiaofang Palace, which is the place where the queen lives. Wei Xiang secretly thought: "I want to come to the queen and feel uncomfortable in Weiyang Palace, so I take my family to Changle Palace to play." ”

The little princess said to herself, her expression changing, sometimes delightful and sometimes disdainful. As she spoke, she suddenly noticed that the emperor's face was gloomy, as if he was a little angry, and he hurriedly stopped talking, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Wei Xiang and Shi Gao looked at each other. The little princess also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so she pretended to be relaxed and chuckled a few times, and said, "I'm leaving." Hurriedly turned around and went out, unintentionally bumping into the gilded silver bamboo Boshan furnace by the door. The incense burner shook and fell to the ground with a thud, raising a mist of incense.

The little princess stuck out her tongue and kept jumping out.

The lid of the furnace carved with the immortal mountain on the sea rolled to Liu Xun, and Liu Xun stretched out his toes to stop it.

The officials who were waiting outside the door came in and picked up the incense burner and cleaned up the incense ashes sprinkled on the ground. Re-light with agarwood.

The light smoke emanated from the hollow mountain-shaped lid of the Boshan furnace, and the faint fragrance filled the entire room, and Liu Xun's mood gradually calmed down: "That's all for today's discussion, you can go." ”

Wei Xiang and Shi Gaonuo retreated.

Out of the east gate of Weiyang Palace, Shi Gao breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "This little princess is really open-mouthed. ”

Wei Xiang looked puzzled, hesitated and wanted to say but didn't say it.

Seeing this, Shi Gao patted him on the shoulder, and was about to speak, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to pat his shoulder, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "Yushi, the lower official is rude, rude." ”

Wei Xiang also hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Okay, okay." You and I don't need so much courtesy. ”

Shi Gao said: "Yu Shi asked me something just now. ”

Wei Xiang nodded and said, "I'm lonely, and I don't know the origin of the little princess."

Shi Gao sat down on the stone steps, and Wei Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then sat down as well.

Shi Gao turned his face to look at him sideways and said, "Jun Shang lived in our Shi family when he was a child, grew up in the people, walked in the wilderness, and was free. Nowadays, although the monarch is majestic, it is not formal on weekdays. I also grew up in the folk, hehe. ”

Wei Xiang also laughed twice, but he couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "What's going on with the little princess?"

"Do you know Emperor Xiaozhao's eldest sister, Princess Eyi Gai?" Scott asked. Wei Xiang nodded.

"This little princess is the daughter of Princess Gai."

Wei Xiang was puzzled and said, "The emperor's relatives and relatives, I also know a thing or two. The daughter of the eldest princess, why has she never heard of it? ”

Shi Gao said slowly: "Princess Gai Chang and her male favorite Ding Wairen were involved in the rebellion of Shangguan's father and son, and later committed suicide. At that time, the little princess was just over a year old. Emperor Xiaozhao lost his mother at an early age and was raised by his eldest sister, Princess Gai. He cared about the grace of nurturing, and took pity on the little princess who lost her mother at a young age, and had a similar background to herself, so he raised her in the palace. was afraid that she would be wronged, so she was named a princess, and the land of Lantian in Tang Muyi, the eldest princess, was given to her, and she was called Princess Lanyi in the palace. The princess has a childish temperament, and has the tolerance of Emperor Xiaozhao, but she is carefree. Today's monarch is also lost at a young age, and he also pities her and spoils her, and lets her do whatever she wants. However, although the princess was given the honorific title, there was no naturalization, so there was no record file. ”

"I see, I still want to be in the Zongzheng file of Tianlu Pavilion. I have never seen a princess of Lanyi. Wei Xiang suddenly realized.

Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion are the places where the Western Han Dynasty royal family collects books, mainly storing national cultural and historical archives and important books and classics, and are the earliest national libraries in China.

"The king's grandfather, Prince Wei, as well as Princess Gai Chang and Emperor Xiaozhao, are all children of Emperor Xiaowu, so this little princess of Lanyi is a generation older than the king, and she can be regarded as an imperial aunt." Scrook laughed.

It was dusk, and the setting sun had turned the horizon red, and it had drawn a few bright golden streaks among the clouds. In the distance, the mountains were shrouded in clouds and smoke, and it was impossible to see clearly, and a few homing birds passed by and disappeared into the treetops.

The evening breeze blew away the summer heat, and the Zhangtai Street in front of me gradually became lively. Shi Gao suddenly said: "Can't the Huo family settle down?" The two were silent again and sat for a long time.
