Chapter 437: What Do I Want to Say?
"Ah Xuan, Sister Yu'er."
"Look at this."
After listening to Li Xuan and Yu'er's thoughts on Chai Rongrong's visit today, Princess Ankang smiled and took out a note from her sleeve.
On the note was a line of handwriting.
"The carriage that His Royal Highness received at the Chongyang Banquet was the exclusive car of Concubine Xiao back then."
When Li Xuan saw this note, he couldn't help frowning.
He didn't even find out when Chai Rongrong handed the note to Princess Ankang.
Chai Rongrong has no cultivation, Li Xuanben didn't care about this woman, but he didn't expect to underestimate her.
Yu'er's eyes widened and confirmed, "Your Highness, is this true?" ”
"This note was handed over to me when Chai Rongrong and I were separated just now." Princess Ankang replied.
"Since she is an old friend of the concubine, there is no need to lie to me about this kind of thing."
"And this matter, just ask the old man in the palace to confirm it."
Princess Ankang said, but her eyes looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "You said yes, right?" Ah Xuan? ”
Hearing Princess Ankang's tone, Li Xuan secretly said badly.
But before he could find a chance to slip away, Princess Ankang grabbed the back of his neck and put her little face in front of Li Xuan.
"Ah Xuan, say it quickly!"
"Did you already know something?"
Li Xuan didn't expect this little girl's reaction to be so fast, and immediately pouted a little unconvinced.
Seeing this reaction, Princess Ankang immediately confirmed her answer, and said angrily:
"Okay, I'll just say that your little kitten wasn't surprised at all when he read the note!"
"Say, why are you hiding it from me?"
Princess Ankang rubbed Li Xuan's cat head mercilessly, and asked for a while.
Li Xuan was silent and let Princess Ankang knead wantonly.
"Ah Xuan already knew?"
"Won't it?"
Yu'er looked stunned on the side.
"Hmph, the little cat still dares to have a hard mouth!"
Princess Ankang saw that Li Xuan had no intention of explaining, so she couldn't help but snort angrily.
"I can guess if you don't say it."
When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but get nervous.
Then, Princess Ankang stared at Li Xuan's big eyes and began to analyze:
"This carriage has long been us."
"But this month, my father specially rewarded us as a prize for this month."
"On the day of the Chongyang banquet, we entered the palace in a carriage in front of all the guests early in the morning, and after the Keju competition, in front of everyone, we officially decided the current ownership of this carriage."
"And this carriage happened to be the exclusive frame of the mother concubine before her death."
Hearing Princess Ankang's analysis becoming more and more reliable, Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help but flutter.
Seeing Li Xuan's reaction, Princess Ankang confirmed her conjecture more and more, and came to the conclusion with a slight smile:
"My father deliberately pushed me onto the stage on occasions like the Chongyang Banquet."
"He wanted me to play a role."
"Playing a role that is very important in the capital and even in Daxing."
Princess Ankang's face was full of seriousness.
Li Xuan sighed and closed his eyes silently.
On the day of the Chongyang banquet, after he learned that the carriage rewarded by Emperor Yongyuan originally belonged to Concubine Xiao, he did not immediately inform Princess Ankang because of this concern.
Princess Ankang didn't need to understand Emperor Yongyuan's intentions, and she shouldn't understand.
These things were originally owed by Emperor Yongyuan to Princess Ankang, but now Emperor Yongyuan has a purpose to return these things that originally belonged to Princess Ankang.
Li Xuan didn't want to disappoint Princess Ankang, nor did he want Princess Ankang to understand the intentions behind Emperor Yongyuan.
They stayed in Jingyang Palace and took care of themselves.
No matter how chaotic this great xing is, Li Xuan will cultivate hard and protect the safety of the three of them.
Li Xuan had already promised to help Emperor Yongyuan, but he didn't expect Emperor Yongyuan to be so greedy that he didn't even want to let go of such a help as Princess Ankang.
The cold strife of power can no longer tolerate the slightest warmth of family affection.
This made Li Xuan feel sick.
This is also the reason why he doesn't want Princess Ankang to understand Emperor Yongyuan's intentions and have some contact with Chai Rongrong, the old concubine Xiao.
Princess Ankang was only twelve years old, and she shouldn't have been involved in such disgusting things.
And Yu'er on the side heard it for a while, and couldn't help asking:
"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"
Princess Ankang smiled at Yu'er, then let go of Li Xuan's cat head and hugged him into her arms.
"Sister Yu'er, my father gave me a task vaguely."
"Of course, it's up to me to decide whether to do this or not."
Princess Ankang explained.
"Mission?"
Yu'er's heart suddenly became uneasy.
What does Emperor Yongyuan need Princess Ankang to do?
That's certainly not a simple thing to do.
And Princess Ankang said earlier that Li Xuan deliberately concealed that the carriage originally belonged to Concubine Xiao, and I am afraid it was also because of this matter.
Thinking about this, Yu'er immediately worried about Princess Ankang.
"Your Highness, this task ......"
"Is it dangerous?"
Without waiting for Princess Ankang to answer, Li Xuan, who was in her arms, immediately opened her eyes and nodded vigorously.
Seeing Li Xuan nodding, Yu'er's brows wrinkled unconsciously.
"Your Highness, can't we do this task if we don't do it?"
Yu'er asked for the first time.
She didn't know much about these twists and turns, and she didn't understand any big truth.
She only knew that her duty was to protect Princess Ankang from all dangers.
Princess Ankang smiled softly and shook her head slightly.
"Sister Yu'er, born in the royal family, there are many things that I can't avoid."
Li Xuan silently raised his head and looked at Princess Ankang.
Princess Ankang raised her hand and touched Li Xuan's head dotingly.
"If I don't take on this responsibility, someone has to carry the weight for us."
Yu'er also followed Princess Ankang's gaze and looked at Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms, and the softness in her heart was also touched.
Of course, she also understands that the life of Jingyang Palace is not better on her own.
Where she and Princess Ankang couldn't see, Li Xuan must have put in all kinds of efforts.
Yu'er has also suffered from the hardships of cultivation.
This is still when she has the guidance of a famous teacher, and Li Xuan constantly finds resources for her.
And when Jingyang Palace was still poor and white, how did Li Xuan suffer these hardships?
Although Yu'er doesn't know much, she also understands a simple truth: no one in this world will be good to herself for no reason.
Yu'er, who was sold by her biological parents, has a deep understanding of this truth.
A lot of things are just an exchange.
Whether it's interests or feelings......
The same is true of sincerity, but it is especially difficult to change.
Seeing Yu'er's expression change, Princess Ankang continued:
"Sister Yu'er, I'm not a child anymore."
When Li Xuan and Yu'er heard this, their hearts were touched at the same time.
"So, let's face it together, shall we?"
"Ah Xuan, Sister Yu'er."
"Let's face it together, there will be no problem!"
Li Xuan and Yu'er glanced at each other, revealing the same look.
They all understood at this time that they could no longer change Princess Ankang's decision.
And, really, as Princess Ankang belongs, she is no longer a child.
"This little girl, not only has her body become better, but her brain has also become so bright."
Li Xuan didn't expect that Princess Ankang's political sense would be so sensitive now.
You must know that Princess Ankang spent almost most of her time in the closed Jingyang Palace before this.
Except for her daily communication with Yu'er, Princess Ankang has almost no communication with others.
In such a situation, where can she learn about these intrigues?
But just a note left by Chai Rongrong, Princess Ankang thought of everything.
In this regard, Li Xuan couldn't help but ask Princess Ankang curiously how she figured out this.
"Hee-hee, I wasn't stupid when you were sneaking out to play."
Princess Ankang smirked.
It turned out that in addition to practicing, she either read books or talked to the people in Xingqing Palace.
The books that Princess Ankang had read before were all about the northern realm, and there were many historical records in them.
As the saying goes, take history as a mirror, and read history wisely.
By reading the historical records of the North, Princess Ankang learned a lot of principles about how to behave in people.
In addition, she was willing to practice, and communicated with the subordinates of Xingqing Palace without any shelf, chatting with them about some trivial daily life, and gradually began to gossip about the contradictions between these palace maids and eunuchs.
There are some things she can't figure out, and she will ask Manager Shang.
Often Mr. Shang can point out the key in one or two sentences, so that Princess Ankang can be of infinite use.
And who is the head of Shang, who is it, he has lived a handful of years and safely retired from the position of head of the Internal Affairs Office, the former chief eunuch.
Mr. Shang could naturally see Princess Ankang's intention to end these trivial matters, so he didn't dare to give too many instructions.
But every two concise and concise instructions can be immediately understood by Princess Ankang, which also gives Mr. Shang a lot of fun to teach.
After coming and going, Mr. Shang saw that Princess Ankang was smart and insightful, so he slowly became bolder.
This benefited Princess Ankang immensely.
During the period of living in Xingqing Palace, Princess Ankang's heart grew up rapidly without Li Xuan noticing.
Who would have thought that a twelve-year-old girl would understand the twists and turns of so many human feelings.
Hearing that Princess Ankang had received the guidance of Chief Shang, Li Xuan was speechless for a while.
When he wasn't at home, Manager Shang secretly gave Princess Ankang special training, right?
As for whether this was Emperor Yongyuan's calculation behind it, Li Xuan didn't bother to think about it.
After all, it was Princess Ankang who made the decision right now.
And now Princess Ankang is no longer a child, just as she said.
She has been able to make her own decisions and is in charge.
In this case, the only thing Li Xuan and Yu'er can provide to Princess Ankang is their support.
"But Your Highness, what is the task that Your Majesty has given you?"
Now that they have decided to support Princess Ankang, Yu'er also wants to figure out what they are going to do next.
"Originally, I thought my father wanted me to be the focus of other people's attention."
"After all, since the beginning of the tournament in the Imperial Garden, this palace has been a lot calmer, isn't it?"
"The haunting before, it's almost never happened again in the past few months."
was said by Princess Ankang, and Yu'er reacted that this was really the case.
"But today's visit to General Ning Yuan's Mansion made me think differently."
"My father doesn't just want me to be the focus, maybe he also wants me to reconnect with these old things that I used to have with my mother."
Princess Ankang's face showed puzzlement.
"But I don't quite understand, what can I do as a cold palace princess, plus these marginal nobles who have been suppressed to the end?"
"We are such a weak force, we are afraid that it is a force in the capital, but it is very reluctant, right?"
At this time, Li Xuan patted his tail and meowed, attracting the attention of the two girls.
Princess Ankang grinned, and immediately put away her puzzled expression and said:
"I knew that Ah Xuanling knew something inside."
The corners of Li Xuan's eyes twitched, and he felt unpleasant being manipulated by Princess Ankang.
"Okay, you're a dead girl, you deliberately 'don't understand' to show me, right?"
Li Xuan wrote a protest with his tail in dissatisfaction.
"Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan!"
"Ah Xuan is the smartest and the cutest."
"Just solve my doubts with Sister Yu'er~"
Princess Ankang immediately became coquettish.
Li Xuan couldn't resist this coquettish attack, and immediately told the information he knew, and attached his own inferences.
"Empress Wu and the Wu family have been vigorously promoting the empress's accession to the throne in recent years."
When it came to this, Li Xuan couldn't help but ask them first:
"Second princess, do you know something?"
Princess Ankang shook her head blankly: "I have never seen it since I attended the Royal Garden Party, and I have rarely heard anyone mention it. ”
Yu'er said on the side:
"Tomorrow's moonlight is not as good as the light of the sun."
"I'm afraid everyone in Daxing has heard this sentence."
Hearing that the empress had ascended the throne, Yu'er understood what was going on.
She immediately introduced the second princess to Her Royal Highness Princess Ankang.
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Second Princess is the descendant of Queen Wu, and she has amazing martial arts talent since she was a child, and she was sent out of the palace at a very young age to visit all the major sects to practice."
"I heard that it's because the master of Ouchi has nothing to teach Her Royal Highness the Second Princess."
It was the first time Li Xuan had heard about this matter from Yu'er, and he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
There is a master of the upper three grades like the old monk Ye in the palace, how can it not be enough to teach Princess Qi?
No matter how wicked Princess Qi is, she won't let these masters in Ouchi be unteachable at such a young age, right?
Li Xuan guessed that there were probably other reasons for this, which made Princess Luo go out of the palace to practice.
Otherwise, according to Yu'er, it would be too terrifying.
Li Xuan and Princess Ankang listened to Yu'er's introduction to Princess Lu, and swallowed and foamed at the mouth.
The three little ones were speechless to each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ah Xuan, what did you want to say just now?"
"Go on."
Princess Ankang said on the side.
Li Xuan blinked his eyes, his brain suddenly went blank, and he wagged his tail and wrote:
"I forgot too."
