In the picture, she saw his bloody wounds, his lip bitten by pain.

Three sticks, there shouldn't be any broken skin, right?

Xin Yu's gaze shifted downward.

"Miss Xin." He Qingxiao pulled her gaze back in time, "Get in the car quickly, don't let the eldest princess wait for a long time." ”

"Did Lord He come on foot?"

"If you come on horseback, the horse is tied in front." He Qingxiao pointed forward. In fact, I can only lead the horse and walk back, although there are few three canes, it is not convenient to ride for the time being.

"The eldest princess said to let you go back in the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion."

"It's not good to stain the eldest princess's car." He Qingxiao refused, seeing that Xin Yu still wanted to persuade again, he said softly, "It's not a bad thing to suffer some hardships." ”

As a man, it is not difficult for him to detect from the emperor's anger that part of his anger comes from his father's fear that his daughter will suffer.

He willingly suffered punishment for it.

"I know—" Xinyu's voice was soft.

She was just to him, unable to act completely with reason.

When she couldn't help but jump off the carriage heading to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she realized it all too well.

In the future, she may stay in the capital for a long time, at the center of power and strife. Since he can't completely ignore the danger he encounters, it is better to let that person know from the beginning that she values this life-saving grace.

"Miss Xin, get in the car."

Facing He Qingxiao's urging, Xin Yu nodded slightly: "Lord He takes care of his injuries." ”

He Qingxiao went over with Xin Yu and expressed his gratitude to the eldest princess of Zhaoyang.

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang couldn't persuade her, so she had to give up.

The carriage was moving, and the eldest princess of Zhaoyang leaned against the wall of the carriage and sighed: "Although Changle Hou is young, he has been very measured since he was a child. ”

In her early years, she also took care of the child, and when he grew up, she was polite and distant from her, she understood his difficulties, and felt his early wisdom.

Not to mention, he still has such an outstanding appearance and demeanor.

With such a man day and night, it is difficult for a young girl in her youth not to be moved.

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang became curious, so she endured it and didn't ask.

Wait until you're familiar with it.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion was not far from the Imperial City, and the carriage quickly drove in through the side gate and did not stop until it reached the second gate.

"Call the eldest prince and the girl." Entering the main room, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang instructed the maidservant.

After a while, Kong Fu arrived first.

"Mother, you're back." Seeing Xin Yu, Kong Fu's eyes curled, "Sister Kou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang pulled her little daughter and said with a smile: "Don't call Sister Kou, call cousin." ”

"Cousin?" Kong Fu blinked in confusion.

"This is your cousin Xin, she is actually a woman."

The little girl was stunned: "But this is Sister Kou." ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang patiently explained: "The one you knew at the beginning was your cousin Xin. When your cousin entered Beijing, she was mistaken for the cousin girl in their house by the Shaoqing Mansion, but in fact, Miss Kou is long gone. ”

"Mother-" Kong Fu looked at the eldest princess of Zhaoyang in shock, "Have you read too much of the book?" ”

Don't think she didn't know when she was young, since she met Sister Kou, her mother sent people to Qingsong Bookstore from time to time to buy all kinds of books and came back, and gradually became addicted.

Questioned by her teenage daughter, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang couldn't cry or laugh: "It's not a joke, your cousin and your uncle have met today, and they also had lunch with your grandmother——"

There was movement at the door, and Kong Fu turned his head and shouted big brother.

Kong Rui walked in, and his shock was no less than that of his sister: "Mother, what do you mean...... Cousin Xin is actually Cousin Xin? ”

"Hmm."

Kong Ruizai carefully looked at Xin Yu and found that the girl in front of him was similar to Xin Muguo.

"Now that you've made it clear, your brothers and sisters have officially met. Rui'er, your cousin's name is Ayu. ”

Kong Rui hesitated and arched his hand: "Cousin." ”

The cousin who drank with him is gone, replaced by a cousin?

This kind of change is a bit big and a little fast for this young man who has just turned eighteen.

Xin Yu curted his knees: "Cousin." ”

Kong Fu's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he was also blessed: "Cousin." ”

After recognizing their new identity and having dinner together, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang personally took Xin Yu to the arranged accommodation.

This yard is not far from the main courtyard, and it is usually well maintained, and it doesn't take much time to clean it up. The mattresses and curtains were all renewed, and even the jar with water lilies at the door was filled with water.

"I'm sorry for my aunt."

"What are these words, you are the niece of this palace." The eldest princess of Zhaoyang took Xin Yu's hand, and her heart said that her nephew had an obvious advantage of becoming a niece, and she could be closer.

At this time, the aunt and nephew sat on the beauty couch, and retired the people who were waiting, and the eldest princess of Zhaoyang asked the words that were pressed in her heart: "Ayu, you really don't plan to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?" ”

Xin Yu nodded.

"Did you know that with the status of a princess, it is much easier to deal with people?"

Even if he is an important minister, he has to bow his head and salute when he sees the princess.

Xin Yu understood that the eldest princess of Zhaoyang was sincerely planning for her, and confided some true thoughts: "Becoming a princess, especially a princess who has not left the cabinet, has many constraints. ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang thought about it, but she understood Xin Yu's choice.

If Ayu is recognized, the queen mother doesn't know how much to do. Not to mention where she wants to go like now, who she wants to see and whom, I am afraid that she will be detained before she gets married, and she will not be able to leave the palace easily.

"Ayu, have you ever thought about the future?"

There has always been the fact of a princess, without the name of a princess, are fathers and daughters only known as monarchs and ministers?

Xin Yu was silent, and after a while, she said softly: "I want to fulfill her long-cherished wish for my mother." ”

"What long-cherished wish?"

"Reduce the burden of forced labor and taxation on the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer be displaced."

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang sighed when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, this is my own experience, so I can't bear to let thousands of people do the same." ”

Empress Xin was born as a refugee girl, and it was not surprising to have this last wish, in the eyes of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang.

"Over the years, your father has often reduced taxes in disaster-stricken lands. The tax and silver have decreased, but there are many uses, and I heard that several ministers of the household department are often worried about this, and put forward many good policies...... My aunt didn't know much about this, but she didn't think it would be easy to reduce her taxes. ”

"What if there is a strategy that can not only reduce the burden on the people, but also increase the tax and silver of the national treasury?"

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang Huo Ranqi: "Is there such a good plan in the world? ”

"My mother mentioned it to me."

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang sat down: "Sister-in-law does have many new and wonderful plans, but this palace still can't think of such a best of both worlds." Ayu, tell your aunt about it. ”

"There are some difficulties with this strategy. Auntie, when the time is right, I will make it clear to you, and I hope that my aunt will support me then. ”

At the beginning, the mother only mentioned a word, but before she could put it out, she encountered strong opposition and even caused subsequent misfortunes.

Now that she's here, she'll be more patient than her mother, waiting for the best time.
