After the Chongyang banquet, the three little ones returned to Xingqing Palace and returned to their previous rhythm of life.

In addition to his own cultivation every day, Li Xuan helps the two girls to cultivate, and then walks around the city when he has free time.

The capital is so big, he hasn't finished shopping until now.

There are always unknown corners waiting for Li Xuan's exploration.

But staying in Xingqing Palace during this time made Li Xuan familiar with the capital a lot.

At least it won't be like when I first left the palace, and I couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest when I went out.

Xiao An, who came with her mother, grinned, blinked her eyes, and looked at Princess Ankang.

The only person who is most likely to interact with the outside world is the family cat.

Concubine Xiao was the only princess of Northern Liang back then, the youngest daughter of the first emperor of Northern Liang, and she was the most favored.

No matter how small General Ning Yuan's official is, he will never get close to a cold palace princess like himself.

In this aristocratic class, she is still isolated and helpless, and she is still in the cold palace.

"It's just that times have changed now, and she has ...... Niangniang"

In today's situation, it is difficult to say how many people still miss the old love and are dedicated to the good of Princess Ankang.

"Mrs. Qiao, Xiao An."

Yu'er was afraid that Princess Ankang would be confused, so she said in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao An, who had played games together at the Chongyang banquet before, and followed her mother to find her.

She couldn't help but sigh, but she also realized her gaffe, wiped the moist corners of her eyes, and then regained her spirits.

Compared with Li Xuan's three-minute heat, the two girls are obviously much more tenacious.

Then the people of Xingqing Palace served tea and snacks.

Princess Ankang said with a smile, remembering the game with Xiao An and them that day.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

She asked a little nervously, "...... you and your mother are?"

Many people did not support themselves in this process, and there were not a few who were forced to leave the power center of the capital.

Although it can benefit all people, it is too painful and tiring.

According to Princess Ankang's heart, if she takes power in the future, I am afraid she will have to work hard all her life.

"And it's a visit from a woman?"

But Princess Ankang knew that Xiao An should just be a reason.

Li Xuan also found that this general Ning Yuan's wife would always look at Princess Ankang with deep eyes, and the emotions contained in it were indescribable.

Those obscure books, the more they chew them, the more they taste them.

The three little ones are now only worried about themselves, and they are going to be anxious, how can there be air traffic control for these marginal petty officials who have lost their power.

In this regard, Princess Ankang welcomed it.

"But fortunately, His Royal Highness is safe and sound now, and even shines at the Chongyang banquet, which can be regarded as a pitiful sight."

He brought up the matter first, but it turned out that Princess Ankang and Yu'er went to learn the formation and alchemy for him.

But the specific details are not something that her level can know.

Back then, Ningyuan's general Qiao Wanyun was one of the people who escorted Concubine Xiao from Beiliang to Daxing.

Therefore, even though Concubine Xiao is no longer by her side, Princess Ankang always pays attention to her words and deeds, and she doesn't want her mother to worry about her.

"General Ningyuan's Mansion?"

Li Xuan, who had been listening to it for a long time, was already frowning.

At the signal of Manager Shang's eyes, the others exited the room one after another.

"Your Highness, the old slave will retire first."

After chatting for half an hour, Chai Rongrong took Xiao An to say goodbye and leave.

Mr. Shang bowed and retired, leaving room for them.

Princess Ankang never forgot this.

Then, the two sides began to chat.

At this time, Chai Rongrong had already left with Xiao An, and there were only the three of them left in the room.

"Your Highness, you are really similar to Concubine Xiao, especially this pair of eyes."

Princess Ankang muttered softly.

But Li Xuan really hoped that Princess Ankang would not get involved in this.

"General Ningyuan's Mansion, Chai Rongrong."

Because of this, I got acquainted with Concubine Xiao.

Seeing Chai Rongrong nodding, Princess Ankang couldn't stay calm anymore.

Power is definitely the most addictive thing in the world.

"I don't trust people so easily."

It's no wonder that Princess Ankang is nervous, when Concubine Xiao was alive, she was all enemies, which made Princess Ankang think that this huge palace was full of people who were difficult for them.

"How did Madame Joe meet her mother?"

Who would visit such a princess so blatantly?

After a while, the visitor was brought in by Mr. Shang.

confirmed that Chai Rongrong was not Concubine Xiao's enemy, and Princess Ankang was also relieved.

The responsibility of power is too great, and he does not dare to carry it, nor does he want to carry it.

When it came to Concubine Xiao's death, Princess Ankang was not too sad.

But Princess Ankang was not in a hurry, and patiently talked to Chai Rongrong, teasing Xiao An from time to time, and the atmosphere in the room was harmonious.

It has been almost a year since Concubine Xiao died, and Princess Ankang has gradually accepted this fact.

"Is Your Highness's life in the palace okay now?"

"Where, speaking of which, Xiao An also took care of me a lot at that time."

Mr. Shang asked Princess Ankang for instructions.

Yu'er saw that Princess Ankang was chatting happily with Chai Rongrong today, but she still persuaded her.

The capable person is in power, and he will work hard for a lifetime.

Because of her identity, Princess Ankang has the initiative to the topic, and she also has a deeper understanding of the identities of the mother and daughter.

This can't help but make Princess Ankang even more confused.

This General Ning Yuan's wife found herself, and the reason would definitely not be so simple.

At a glance, Li Xuan was too hard.

Princess Ankang is very clear about this.

And Concubine Xiao's supporters also fell into bad luck.

If it's not an enemy, it's an old friend.

Thinking of this possibility, Princess Ankang's mood was even more nervous than at the beginning.

She knew that if she was sad, Concubine Xiao would also be sad.

As for the future, let's talk about it later.

"Sister Yu'er, do you think they have ulterior motives?"

Therefore, when Chai Rongrong said that he knew Concubine Xiao, Princess Ankang subconsciously worried that she was here to seek revenge.

Today, through Chai Rongrong, she knows a little more about her mother.

Li Xuan stayed aside, looking the mother and son up and down.

"We have to kill their minds before it's too late."

Today they talked a lot about Concubine Xiao's past, but Princess Ankang was very useful.

It is rare to be able to support it in the capital until now like General Ningyuan's Mansion.

"They can't even do one."

He also understood Chai Rongrong's intention.

Speaking of these past events, Chai Rongrong's eyes couldn't help but redden.

The full days passed day by day.

When she was asleep late at night and haunted by her dreams, although she would still miss Concubine Xiao, Princess Ankang would no longer be sad when she mentioned Concubine Xiao.

"Can you tell me about it?"

In Jingyang Palace, Princess Ankang has little contact with outsiders.

There is no reason to climb her by climbing high branches.

If it weren't for the fact that someone hated them, how could life be more and more difficult.

Although Princess Ankang is young, she still understands the truth.

Princess Ankang smiled and raised her hand to them.

When the incompetent are in power, they are full of evil.

But the more this is the case, the more people can't figure out their intentions.

Chai Rongrong came to the door today, just taking Xiao An to catch up, and didn't even say anything, how did Li Xuan see it?

Princess Ankang has even begun to enter the practical stage, and asked Mr. Shang to get a lot of basic materials for the formation, and compare them while reading the book to deepen her impression.

According to Chai Rongrong, a lot of things happened during this period, which eventually led to Beiliang's choice of Daxing.

Li Xuan saw that the two girls were studying so seriously, but he was embarrassed.

"I received a lot of kindness from Concubine Xiao back then."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness." Chai Rongrong realized his gaffe at this time, looked at Princess Ankang with some pity, and said, "I brought up a topic that shouldn't be mentioned." ”

And since they lived in Xingqing Palace, it was the first time that someone had paid such an official visit.

Even if they have an old relationship with Concubine Xiao, it is all in the past.

"Has anyone embarrassed you because of your mother?"

Speaking of this, Chai Rongrong sighed.

The three little ones looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"You can tell me anything at any time."

At the beginning, Beiliang originally had two choices for marriage, Da Mo and Da Xing.

Then, Chai Rongrong talked about his past with Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao did not live up to the support of these people, and became a strong contender for the back position along the way.

"Is there someone else behind it?"

Li Xuan doesn't have such a high consciousness, he just wants to take the two girls to live happily in the world.

"Do you know Ankang, but Jingyang Palace hasn't been in contact with the outside world for many years?"

But before Li Xuan could find out, Chai Rongrong was the first to speak.

Then, she turned her head and asked Li Xuan:

"Ah Xuan, what do you think?"

But then, Xiao An remembered something, immediately straightened his face, made a serious appearance, and secretly glanced at his mother to see if she found herself snickering just now.

Princess Ankang shook her head, not paying attention.

Concubine Xiao once told Princess Ankang that she would turn into a star in the sky in the future, always accompanying her and watching her.

Their troubles in the palace are not small, and there is no need to burden themselves a little.

The mother and daughter saluted respectfully in front of Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang smiled and waved her hand to Yu'er:

"Rest assured, Sister Yu'er."

Princess Ankang was not as fragile as she thought.

However, the daily use of Jingyang Palace has been decreasing, and it is difficult to survive until later.

General Ning Yuan, is a military officer under the fifth grade.

At least for now, Li Xuan doesn't think it's worth getting close to someone like Chai Rongrong.

Princess Ankang exhaled a light breath and said:

"I see."

But Princess Ankang remembered the harmony between them and the conversation before, and felt that this was not very likely.

At that time, Princess Ankang came to the lawn where the children played, and Xiao An was the first to invite her.

"Madame Joe knows the concubine?"

On this day, Xingqing Palace suddenly came to visit, and it was for Princess Ankang.

"Take your little daughter Joan and meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Turning your hands can kill all people, and turning your hands can save people's lives.

Princess Ankang's reaction made Chai Rongrong smile with relief.

She also loves Xiao An's child very much.

How embarrassing it is for the kitten.

It's a pity that Beiliang lost all the news in the cold wave later, which caused Concubine Xiao to lose all the games.

Now Princess Ankang knows who is coming.

These supporters of Concubine Xiao in the past are afraid that they didn't see some unrealistic hopes at the Chongyang banquet.

Princess Ankang looked at the words on the sticker, revealing a puzzled look.

In this capital, he is not a big official, and he does not have any real power, and he is the most inconspicuous category in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Just like the Chai Rongrong in front of him, Li Xuan only felt her snobbery.

Although the three little ones are now in the palace, they can't hide.

But later, Beiliang still chose to marry Daxing, and Concubine Xiao was also married, which led to what happened later.

The struggle for power is a quagmire, and whoever goes in to earn it will have to get covered in mud.

"Please come in and see you."

Those who come are guests, and Princess Ankang has no reason to turn them away.

When Princess Ankang heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"Your Highness, do you want to see you?"

Neither of them cultivated in their bodies, and they didn't feel any malice towards Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan had already thought about it, and he would follow him to General Ningyuan's mansion to take a look and see what they had in mind.

Li Xuan shook his tail and wrote casually:

"Charcoal in the snow, icing on the cake."

But at this time, Li Xuan was also stunned, obviously not having any impression of this family.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Xuan was very unwelcome to Chai Rongrong's visit.

Even though he was in the limelight at the Chongyang Banquet not long ago, his situation has not fundamentally changed.

After there were only a few of them left in the room, Xiao An's mother, Chai Rongrong, spoke:

"During the Chongyang banquet, His Royal Highness took care of Xiao Anduo, and she always talked about you these days, knowing that His Royal Highness is now temporarily living in Xingqing Palace, so she dared to come to disturb her."

"God has no eyes, he actually treats Concubine Xiao like this."

It was the first time they had heard of the general's name, and it had nothing to do with anyone.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er were working diligently in addition to cultivation, studying books related to formations and alchemy.

Concubine Xiao didn't talk much about her past in the past, so Princess Ankang didn't know much about her mother.

Da Mo and Bei Liang are located in the same north, and they are both one of the countries with the strongest background.

"Daxing, Beiliang, Desert ......"

"Xiao An, it's you."

"Your Highness, General Ning Yuan's Mansion is so abrupt to visit, you still have to be careful."

"And how can a petty official like General Ning Yuan have anything to do with the palace?"

Princess Ankang hesitated, but finally nodded:

If the two join forces, it will be a situation of unifying the north and facing off against the north and the south.

And when Princess Ankang saw them, she immediately recognized them.

This couldn't help but make Princess Ankang curious about the other party's intentions.

Especially after Empress Wu ascended the throne, the liquidation of the Wu family made them even more miserable.

Later, Concubine Xiao gained power in the palace, and people who were close to the DPRK and Northern Liang began to gradually stand on Concubine Xiao's side.

After all, her husband, General Ning Yuan, was just one of the people who escorted Concubine Xiao at the beginning.

"Your Highness, these people didn't see each other once before, and we didn't see them ask someone to help us when we were living in distress in the palace, so what good thing is there when we come to the door at this time?"

The mother and daughter immediately got up and thanked them and sat down on the side seats.

Princess Ankang couldn't help but smile helplessly when she saw Li Xuan's reaction.

But looking at Princess Ankang's thoughtful expression, Li Xuan knew that she should have some other ideas.
