The next day, Mrs. Guo's Lin, Mrs. Tian's young lady Tian and other Guo daughters visited the pregnant woman Xiuniang in the Xinyue Hall of the East Palace.

Xiuniang was almost two months pregnant, and she began to react a little big.

In the end, Mrs. Guo was not very worried about her daughter, so she decided to stay in the Xinyue Hall for a few more days to accompany Xiuniang.

The prince couldn't ask for it, because he was busy with political affairs.

With his mother-in-law accompanying Xiuniang, he can handle external government affairs with peace of mind.

This is probably Guo Wei's idea for his wife, because he understands the current pressure on the prince.

In the first half of May, the weather becomes very hot.

There is a lotus pond water pavilion on the landlord side of the west study, near the rockery and lotus water, quiet and cool.

In the afternoon, when the weather is the hottest, the prince will move here most of the time to work.

The curtains on both sides of the pavilion are lightly rolled, and they are hung high with four-clawed golden cicada hooks, but the ethereal veils hang down naturally, and only when the breeze blows, will a small corner be lifted.

Ten landscape screens are placed in front of the rockery pool, and ice porcelain red cups are placed on the sandalwood square table on the cloud pattern desk, and cold soup is served.

When Gao Jin led the people to come, the prince was sitting on the ground, concentrating on official business.

The Four Tigers Bingjian, which was used to hold the ice, exuded a cold air, and through the curtains, only his tall figure could be vaguely seen.

Gao Jin, the chief administrator of Ouchi, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, someone has brought it." ”

The prince raised his head slightly, put down his hand, and said lightly:

"Let her in."

A faint fragrance wafts in with the wind.

The sunlight is bright, as if it can shine into the fair skin and penetrate the hearts of people.

Lin Yuqian's head was covered with a black veil, which looked quite mysterious, but it couldn't hide her slender figure.

I saw her soft silk embroidered shoes walking, Yingying knelt down in front of the steps and saluted, "Respectfully Your Highness." ”

The sound is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, with a slender waist, especially the soft posture of the beauty.

Gao Jin retreated to the side, and the two palace maids bent down and raised their hands to lift the veil, revealing the face of the prince, clear and elegant.

Most of the music on the desk had been dealt with, and the prince raised his hand and asked the eunuchs to move back to the study.

"Qiu Guan, you all stay away."

"Yes."

Qiu Feng bowed, turned around and waved his hand, and left the Water Pavilion with the female eunuchs of the palace.

It is extremely rare for the prince to let Qiu Feng take the initiative to avoid it.

Anything that she avoids is definitely a very confidential matter or person.

Autumn Wind now knows the rules here.

"Come here and sit down." The prince said indifferently.

He was still a little wary of Lin Yuqian, who had not seen him for almost a year, that is, suddenly came from Jiangnan.

Lin Yuqian clenched the fan in her hand and took broken steps.

For her, the prince is both a lifesaver and a hidden nightmare.

I haven't seen it for a year, and the prince's strength has long been different.

Whether it is the ability to control the government, or the military power and financial resources in hand, it is far beyond the outside world's predictions for him.

Approaching the prince, Lin Yuqian didn't know what to do, and she was slightly nervous.

The pink fingertips turned slightly white, and the heart seemed to jump out.

Yesterday, she came to the East Palace several times in a row, handed the letter in, and sent it back untouched.

I've been stopped so many times, but I didn't expect to be brought in today.

She knew very well in her heart that it was the special relationship between Princess Wencheng of the Eastern Turks and the Ning Palace.

And she is the niece of King Ning's side concubine and the former female official of the Eastern Turkic Khan's tent.

The tension between King Ning and the crown prince is already an open secret.

Her ambiguous identity is not to be seen on the prince's side, which is also reasonable.

She stepped forward calmly, took off her hat and put it on the desk, and her slightly powdered face was delicate and flawless.

This made the only person standing a few feet away, Jiang Wulang, a guard with a knife, take a look at it, and turned sideways with a blank face.

She is one of the best beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, and she is also known as a flower in the desert.

Lin Yuqian didn't dare to behave lightly like last time, but knelt down in front of the desk very upright, put down the fan, Luo skirt was clean, and said:

"Why does Your Highness refuse to send people thousands of miles away?"

"You're thinking too much, I'm lonely these days, and I don't have time to meet you."

Lin Yuqian pursed her lips lightly, and her hanging heart was slightly lowered, "Is it because the crown princess is happy?" ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and the light in front of him flashed, and then it was as faint as water.

As the leader of the Jade Shadow Gate, it is inevitable that there will be her shadow in the palace.

What's more, the crown princess's pregnancy is not a highly confidential matter.

He wasn't as reckless as those hairy boys, but his eyes were deep and quiet enough to seem to see through everything.

Lin Yuqian didn't dare to look at him head-on, and her eyes were slightly avoided.

He suddenly opened his mouth and whispered, "Go down." ”

Lin Yuqian's eyelids jumped slightly in shock, thinking that she had provoked him again.

Just as he was about to ask the last question, the palace maid who delivered tea with the curtain responded and hurriedly retreated.

The prince picked up his own special teapot, filled the teacup in front of Lin Yuqian with his own hands, and then slowly put it down, and said:

"I heard that Ashina Moxi is seriously ill and can't survive this month, Du Ji is already arranging a succession, you were ordered to go back in a hurry, why do you want to come to Chang'an for a while?"

Lin Yuqian pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Your Highness is well-informed, it is true, but the courtiers are not in a hurry to go back, let alone see the dying old khan."

The crown prince bowed his head and said indifferently: "That's good, how many days are you going to stay in Beijing?" ”

He said it lightly and ambiguously.

There is no mention of the dynamics on both the Eastern and Western Turkic sides after the death of Mosi Khan.

After Moxi's death, Princess Wencheng married Duji, and was still the Eastern Turk Kedun.

But the question is whether she can control the strong Duji.

When Duji came to power, what was the attitude of Helu of the Western Turks?

Lin Yuqian is so smart, of course she knows that the prince wants to know these insiders, but she deliberately pretends to be indifferent.

It's all millennium foxes.

She also pretended to be ambiguous, and threw a flattering look at the prince and said:

"How many days the courtiers can stay in Beijing depends entirely on His Royal Highness the Prince."

"If Your Highness doesn't welcome the courtiers, I'll leave Jingshi immediately and go back to Dali City, cluck..."

Before the prince could speak, the back of his broad hand was covered with a green white and slender jade hand, which was still gently rubbing.

But he didn't react, and said indifferently:

"Princess Yuqian, your itinerary depends on your goal achievement rate, not loneliness."

The prince hit the nail on the head and was unceremonious.

"You've always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let's say, what tricks do you want to play this time, and let the lonely fool help you a lot?"

"But Lone wants to tell you, you can only be fooled once, this time you don't want Lone to do those stupid things that cost people and money."

"Your Highness, please rest assured, this time you will definitely reap both wealth and make a lot of money."

Lin Yuqian smiled and lowered her eyes and slowly got up, walked behind the prince, gently wrapped her hands around his bear's waist, her head pressed against his broad back, and whispered softly.

"Your Highness, do you want to know how King Ning and the others are going to play the card of the Eastern Turks?"

"And the idea that the Western Turks also want to fight the Eastern Turks?"
