When the little lady entered the Ganlu Palace, she saw the crown princess Wang coming up.

"Sister, Your Highness has not eaten, drank, or spoken all day, and he has not responded to us when we say it. I had to invite you over, so go and persuade him!"

The little lady frowned: "The saint died, and the court was in chaos, the prince had to preside over the saint's funeral and prepare for the enthronement ceremony in the near future, how could he still have time to play his temper here?"

"Who knows, maybe he's too sad!" Wang was so anxious that he burst into tears, "Please go and persuade him, sister, now he can listen to it except for you, we can't do anything no matter how anxious we are!"

"I know, I'll go. The little lady nodded, and walked in.

In the hall, the crown prince Li Shi was lying on the couch, motionless, almost unable to see much anger. A group of palace maids and eunuchs waited on both sides, but they didn't dare to take a sip of the atmosphere. Look at their faces, they all have a worried face. But when they saw the little lady coming, their eyes were shining with hope.

The little lady walked over slowly, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the prince raised his head suddenly, and a gleam appeared in his eyes. "Sister, you're here!"

"Yes, I'm here. If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you, His Royal Highness the Prince, who should have been busy all the time, were lazy here now!" The little lady said coldly, and stepped forward, and suddenly grabbed his ear.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, Sister spare!" The prince quickly bared his teeth and shouted.

When the crown princess Wang and others saw it, they all looked surprised and nervous. Seeing this, the prince's personal eunuch subconsciously stepped forward to stop him, but was scolded by Wang: "Don't move." ”

And the little lady also grabbed the prince's ears for a long time, and continued to snort coldly: "As the prince of a country, look at what you look like now? If you want to die or live, decadent and not enterprising, where is the slightest bit of heroic spirit as the emperor of the future New Tang Dynasty? How can you believe that this dynasty can flourish when it is handed over to you?"

The prince was trained to tears. "Sister, I was wrong, please spare me first, okay?"

"Spare you, well, you swear first that you will not run away from such decadence again!" said the little lady.

"Yes, I swear!" the prince quickly raised his hand and swore in a loud voice not to mention it.

When he finished speaking, the little lady let go of her hand.

Who knew that the prince suddenly shouted again: "Sister!" and hugged her waist and buried his head in her arms.

The little lady was stunned, but the crown princess Wang and others quickly bowed their heads, turned around and went out.

The little lady looked speechlessly at the man who kept drilling into her arms like a child, and said weakly: "Do you know whether men and women kiss or not?"

Moreover, he took the initiative to give her a hug in front of his wife, and he could do it!

"You are my sister, not someone else. But the prince said.

The little lady was even more speechless.

"Okay, then you can rely on it if you want! When you have enough, remember to tell me. She whispered, and patted him on the top of his head.

Not enough, not enough at any time, he hated to lean on her for the rest of his life! The prince cried out in his heart, his hands tightened, and his body was closer to her.

"Sister ......" he continued to whisper, his voice full of sadness and helplessness, "At the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, my great-grandfather and grandfather and father fled one after another, but they left my aunt in Chang'an, causing her to be captured by the rebels, and then she disappeared. Later, Daddy searched for her for ten years without success, and I was already a child without a mother. Later, I experienced a series of turmoil, and now Daddy has also passed away, leaving me with such a big mess. The wars in various places have not yet completely subsided, the people are still to be appeased, the eunuch party dictatorship in the DPRK and China, and the feudal towns below have a faint dominance trend, all of which now need to be dealt with one by one. I'm scared just thinking about it!"

Why didn't she know about his current situation?

The little lady sighed lowly: "It's useless to be afraid." Now that you've come to this point, do you think you still have room to back down? If you attack with your head held high, no matter what the result is, but at least you work hard and do what you should do, even if you regret it, people won't say anything about you. But if you retreat because you are afraid, then you are a coward, a bad seed! Do you think the people of the New Tang Dynasty would recognize such a person who could not even bear the responsibility as their saint?"

After a pause, she said: "My aunt once said that you are in the big family and have enjoyed the glory and wealth brought to you by this big family since you were a child, so you must pay the corresponding price in the future, which is called fairness." The same applies to you. As a child of the royal family, you have enjoyed the wealth and honor that many people in the world cannot enjoy, so now is the time for you to pay, you must stand up bravely and give with all your might, in order to repay the people for their support to you for so many years, understand?"

The prince's body stiffened slightly, and he slowly raised his head: "Sister, I understand what you said." As the crown prince of the New Tang Dynasty, I naturally know what I am going to bear. Rest assured, I will not back down and I will do my best to do my best. It's just that...... Now you can let me be decadent again? Just for a while, for a while!"

"All right!" the little lady touched his head again, "just once today." For a while, you must not do this again. ”

"Well, thank you, sister!" the prince immediately showed a happy smile, and threw himself into her arms happily.

After about half an hour, an attendant walked in: "Qi Qi Sage, the Duke of Huai Guo has come to pick up the Duchess of Guo and return to the house." ”

Hearing this, the little lady quickly pushed the person in her arms away, and said with a smile: "Brother Nanshan came to pick me up? Then I should go home!"

The prince was unexpectedly pushed up by her, and a trace of obscurity flashed in his eyes.

But he immediately raised his smile again: "Originally, I planned to leave Sister A, and you would eat in the palace before leaving." Now that my brother-in-law is here, it's not good for Gu to keep you any longer. Thank you Sister for your enlightenment today, I already understand it in my heart. Starting tomorrow, the Lone Club will go out to meet people, strive to be a good emperor, eliminate the shortcomings, and return the people of the New Tang Dynasty to a prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

"Okay, I believe in you!" the little lady immediately nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, the prince immediately smiled even more happily.

Seeing that the crown prince was finally excited, the chamberlains were very happy, and the crown princess Wang was also so happy that she shed tears.

She personally sent the little lady out, and while holding the little lady's hand, she sighed: "Now thanks to Sister A, we really don't know what to do! Speaking of which, Sister You are really the lucky star of His Royal Highness the Prince." When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in trouble, you rescued him, took care of him all the way, and returned him to Emperor Xuanzong. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost his mother, so he became more and more dependent on you. This dependence is now. To this day, he listens to you the most, and a hundred words we say are not worth a single sentence from you. So in the future, please come into the palace more often to see him. In this way, we can also rest assured. ”

The little lady blinked. "In the deep palace forbidden, how can I, a foreign wife, come in from time to time? Now the situation is special, I will come once, forget it, the person who will accompany the prince in the future is you, you should naturally think about how to accompany him and enlighten him in the future. I also have husbands and children at home, and they need my care even more. ”

When the crown princess heard this, a ghostly light flashed in her eyes.

"Sister A's lesson is that I was so excited that I even said such a thing!" she hurriedly laughed, "By the way, I remember that Sister, the third lady of your family will be in time soon?

"It should be too early! Her father spoiled her so much that he was reluctant to marry her off so early, saying that he would stay for another two years. The little lady said.

"Is that so? I also said that our Shichiro is about the same age as her, and he will be very happy if he told the prince about it. Shichiro is his favorite child. Wang said.

The little lady didn't seem to hear her hint, and continued to say coldly: "Forget it! The prince has always regarded me as his own sister, and he has regarded my children as his own. Asking my child to marry Shichiro seems to me to be no different from a brother and sister. ”

The corners of Wang's lips twitched again. "So that's what you think, sister, but you and the prince are not biological brothers and sisters after all. ”

Not only are they not their own siblings? Is it better for the prince to be older than her? It's just because of a joke he made at the beginning that the prince actually let the prince admit it. After so many years, he called Sister Ah very smoothly, so that everyone had already recognized her as his Sister! Even the crown princess and the concubines in the East Palace rushed to call her Sister A, desperately currying favor with her, and wanted her to help them say good things in front of the prince.

These people can't help but look down on her too much.

The little lady smiled lightly: "In my opinion, we are biological brothers and sisters, and the prince thinks so too." If you don't believe me, you go and ask him?"

How dare she ask such a thing? At the beginning, she saw that the prince seemed to rely too much on the little lady, and she also said a few sour words. She thought she had said it vaguely enough, but who knew that the prince was immediately furious and almost didn't put her in the cold palace!

He said to her word by word at that time: "She is Lone's own sister, and Lone has to respect people for a lifetime." If you can't respect her, then Gu has to consider whether to let you go back to your parents' house, and let your mother's family teach you what respect is!"

At that time, she was so shocked that she quickly knelt at the feet of the prince and cried. "The concubine knows that she is wrong! The concubine was deceived by the ghost, and she actually slandered the elder sister, the concubine is at fault! In the future, the concubine will never dare again, and the concubine will definitely respect the Duchess of Huaiguo as her own sister in the future, and never talk nonsense again!"

After listening to her repeated vows, the prince let her go. But he still said again: "What Sister said in the future, that's what loneliness means, do you understand?"

"The concubine understands. She nodded busily.

The crown prince has already said it so clearly, how can she dare to talk too much? If she makes the prince angry again, and after he ascends the throne as emperor, she will not crown herself as the queen, then she will lose a lot!

Sister Ah smiled. The crown princess laughed dryly twice, and quickly rounded up the topic.

However, since the little lady has already stated that she will not marry her daughter into the royal family, she can also breathe a sigh of relief. After all, with the prince's affection and respect for her, if her daughter enters the palace, then she will definitely win the prince's favor, and her husband will also follow the chicken dog to heaven, which is not a good phenomenon!

Just now, she just wanted to use this topic to test the little lady's attitude. Now that she has the results, she is relieved. Although she got a few cold receptions from the little lady halfway, it didn't matter, who told her that she had the prince behind her back now?

Anyway, as long as I can successfully become the queen, I can endure this little thing!

After sending the little lady to the palace gate, the crown princess returned with a small twist.

When the little lady went out of the palace gate, she saw Nanshan riding on a tall horse, looking quietly ahead. When he saw her appear, his cold and solemn eyes immediately softened, and the person quickly turned over and strode to her.

"Persuaded?" he asked.

The little lady nodded. "Persuade. ”

"Then let's go home!"

"Hmm. ”

The two held hands and sent her to the carriage, and Nanshan turned over on the horse by himself, escorting her all the way back to the old county palace in Fanchuan Villa - the little lady was reluctant to part with Daddy and Auntie, so they have always lived with Mu Jiaojiao and his wife. After Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu moved to Fanchuan Villa, they also moved over.

After entering the mansion, the two of them naturally wanted to go to greet Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu.

When they entered the courtyard gate, they found that the atmosphere inside was not quite right. The little lady hurriedly asked the maid: "What's the matter?"

The word 'again' indicates that this kind of thing has happened more than once, and she has become accustomed to it. Now that she asked again, she wasn't too nervous, but just planned to figure out the situation in advance, so that it would be convenient to persuade when she went in.

When the little maid saw her, she was like grasping a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Isn't it the old county king?" Today, the little ladies came to play, and the kitchen made a few pastries, all of which were sweet, and made in the shape of rabbits, cats and dogs, which were very cute. The old king saw that the little ladies were eating very sweetly, so he was also interested and ate several pieces secretly. When the old princess found out, she didn't allow him to eat any more, saying that he was too old to eat too much sweet. But the old county king didn't follow, he had to eat, and the old princess had to stop him. As a result, the old county king got angry, and now he ignores the old princess!"

The maid said helplessly, and the little lady and Nanshan husband and wife were also speechless.

She's a daddy, and the older she gets, the more willful she becomes. Now this temper is even bigger than a child, and Ah Niang can still control him.

Several black lines fell from her forehead one after another, and she shook her head and sighed, "I know, I'll go in." ”

When they entered the room, they saw Mu Jiaojiao teaching the little ladies to read medicine, and the little ladies also followed along. Cui Pu was lying alone on the couch next to him, looking so pitiful alone.

So don't think about it, this battle must have ended with Mu Jiaojiao's complete victory. Cui Pu lost miserably, but he couldn't pull it down, so he directly shrank aside and had a cold war with her, waiting for Mu Jiaojiao to turn around and coax him again, give him enough face, and then let him step on the steps and go down.

However, looking at Mu Jiaojiao's appearance, she didn't plan to let him get his wishes too early.

The little lady secretly stuck out her tongue and walked slowly to Cui Pu's side. "Daddy. ”

Finally someone paid attention to him!

Cui Pu immediately turned over and sat up, but his face was still deliberately stiff.

"You're back. "He was hard-hearted.

The little lady bowed her head and sat down beside him: "When I came back, I saw that there were freshly baked Yujia zongzi for sale, so I asked my brother to buy some and bring them back for you to eat." But Daddy, you and Auntie can only eat one each. ”

As she spoke, she asked Nanshan to bring the zongzi over, peeled one by herself and handed it to Cui Pu.

Cui Pu took the zongzi, and couldn't help but mutter: "Why can I only eat one?" I'm in good health, it's okay to eat more!"

"Daddy, don't be willful! Who ate a few more zongzi last time, made a stomach ache in the middle of the night, and let A-Niang stay awake all night to help him get needles to cure his illness?"

Cui Pu stopped talking. After eating a zongzi in small bites, and then letting the little lady wipe his mouth clean, he squinted his eyes with satisfaction: "If you don't let you eat more, you won't eat more, but your attitude is better!

This was deliberately said to Mu Jiaojiao! It's a pity that Mu Jiaojiao didn't bother to pay attention to him.

After teaching the children to finish a page of the book, she beckoned to the little lady. The little lady hurriedly picked up a peeled zongzi and handed it over.

While eating zongzi, Mu Jiaojiao asked her, "What did the crown princess call you into the palace for today?"

The little lady quickly told the matter.

Cui Pu immediately snorted coldly: "That kid is definitely pretending, just to deceive you into pituring him! As the crown prince, he has experienced so many things since he was a child, where can he not cope with the current scene? When Emperor Xuanzong and Emperor Suzong died one after another, wasn't he still helping the saint and handling the funerals of the two emperors in an orderly manner?"

"I know, but he is my brother, and he says that he is sad and sad, and of course I have to appease him as a sister!" said the little lady, "and I don't think his fear today is a lie." can only say that he is not afraid, but he is not afraid of that. In front of outsiders, he will inevitably act like an emperor, but in front of me, he will cry twice and say a few weak words, and that is nothing! Isn't it normal for people to show their weak side in front of their loved ones?"

"You, you, you kid is too simple! I was deceived and I helped you count the money!" Cui Pu shook his head weakly.

Mu Jiaojiao said: "That's fine." There will always be something to fear in people's hearts, and seizing the opportunity to talk about the fear in their hearts, and then allowing someone they trust to soothe can help him minimize his fear. In this way, it is also more convenient for him to do the next thing with peace of mind. You did the right thing today. ”

"You deliberately went against me, didn't you?" As soon as he made a negative comment, he didn't want Mu Jiaojiao to affirm his daughter's actions, and Cui Pu glared at him very unhappily.

Mu Jiaojiao glanced over lightly: "Am I not right?"

Cui Pu was intimidated.

"Yes, of course yes, what you said is right, lady!"

"Then you still say that I deliberately went against you?"

"No, no, it's my idle madness that is against you, it's all my fault!"

Hey, she knew it. The little lady sighed again in her heart.

Daddy and Auntie's so-called quarrel won't last long at all. Anyway, Daddy went crazy indirectly, and then was suppressed by Auntie, and in the end, he had to take the initiative to come over and give in.

It's like this every time, and I don't know why he still enjoys it.

However, since the elders were reconciled, she was also relieved, so she quickly retired with Nanshan and took the children back to the room.

Returning to their rooms, let the children go and review what Mu Jiaojiao taught today, and the couple also closed the door and whispered.

"Brother, you're not angry, are you?" Looking at Nanshan's face, the little lady asked in a low voice.

Nanshan shook his head. "How could I be angry with you? The matter between you and the prince has never been hidden from me, and I believe you. ”

"Well, I know brother, you will definitely believe me!" the little lady hurriedly smiled at him.

is already at this age, her temperament is still so innocent, and her smile is clean and beautiful, which makes people feel comfortable. Nanshan saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked, which was regarded as a smile.

"It's just that although the prince likes you and has always treated you as a sister, I'm afraid that others won't think so. The first to bear the brunt were those concubines in his harem. So, in the future, you should stay away from them and don't deal with them too much. He taught her in a serious way.

The little lady nodded like a good student. "Well, I remember. Today, the crown princess and I mentioned the children's family affairs, and I also refused. I'm not going to let the kids go on this trip!"

"You're doing the right thing. Nanshan nodded hurriedly, "Moreover, after this time, you will not enter the palace again for at least three months." Let them toss their own affairs! Let's not meddle indiscriminately, not only if something happens, but the hat will definitely be buckled on our heads. ”

"Well, brother, you're right, I listen to you!" The little lady nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and then stepped forward to touch his belly, and suddenly her little face changed, "You haven't eaten until now, have you?"

"Didn't I eat a zongzi just now?" Nanshan said in a low voice.

Because Cui Pu was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to eat too much in front of his father-in-law, otherwise his father-in-law would definitely point the finger at him again - that wayward old man would definitely be able to do it. Originally, until now, he still felt that he robbed his little lady, and the resentment in his heart has not completely dissipated!

"It's only one zongzi, how is it enough? You have to eat a lot of things every time to be full!" the little lady hurriedly said, then held him down and sat down, "You sit here first, and I'll cook for you." ”

Nanshan pulled her up. "I'll be with you. ”

"Okay!" the little lady did not refuse, so she took his hand, and the two of them went into the small kitchen together.

Standing in the kitchen, Nanshan Machinery added firewood to the stove, but his eyes kept staring at the figure running back and forth. Listening to her chanting words: "Brother likes to eat meat, but the anger is too big, and the mutton has to be dealt with first." But the meat is too greasy, so you have to make some refreshing side dishes to balance it out. And there is a dessert, too, but it can't be too sweet, he doesn't like it......"

The little mouth is chattering, and the hands are constantly busy.

Gradually, the corners of Nanshan's lips became higher and higher.

This little wife of his, who has not changed her name for so many years. He also once asked her to change her words, but after she tried to call her husband, she looked at him pitifully: "Brother, it feels weird to call you like this, I'll continue to call you Brother, okay?"

Mighty and majestic like him, he has been around him since he was a child. Later, he was captured and sold, and if it weren't for his arrogance, he wouldn't have been able to hold out to the end. And when they arrived at Da Langjun's side, they also fought up and down, and later joined the army and went into battle to kill the enemy...... There was hardly anything soft on his body. However, he knew that deep down in his heart, there had always been a small soft place, which was reserved for her.

As early as when he entered Cui's house, the little lady smiled sweetly at him, and the soft little hand took his hand and softly called out 'Brother', he was completely fallen.

Later, her call of 'Brother' seemed to become his salvation. No matter how irritable he is, as long as he sees her and hears her call him, he can quickly calm down and soften. He knew he couldn't live without her.

Therefore, although he knew that he would be hated by Cui Pu, who raised him, if he proposed to marry her, and he would also be scolded and even beaten by the Da Langjun brothers who grew up together, he still did it.

As long as you can get her, what if you are beaten and scolded a few times? Just like now, she is by his side, the two have supported each other for so many years, she has given birth to children for him, washed her hands and made soup for him, and can always care about him and remember his tastes, which is enough to appease him from the abuse he received from his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law.

Such a soft and sweet little lady, no matter what kind of request she makes, as long as he listens to her voice and looks at her innocent and pitiful little face, he can't be ruthless. So, as long as she asks, he will definitely agree.

He knew that he didn't look like a man in this way, and it was very different from the image of his indifferent, serious and impersonal in the hearts of his soldiers. But there was no way, the one who begged him was her, how could he bear to refuse her and see her sad?

As for her relationship with the crown prince...... No matter what the prince thinks in her heart, as long as she thinks that they are sisters and brothers, then they must be sisters and brothers. He believed in her.

This villain seems to be soft and glutinous and easy to speak, but in fact, the bottom line in her heart is clear, and the things above the bottom line, no matter how you toss, she doesn't care. But once she touches the bottom line, she will be like a cat that has only been violated, erecting the hair all over her body and waving it with one paw.

If the prince truly admires her, then he will definitely respect her decision. Otherwise, he will wait for the rest of his life to be put in prison by her and never see each other again!

Really.

A month after the saint was laid to rest, the crown prince announced his accession to the throne.

After ascending the throne, the saint issued a series of holy decrees, one of which was for the little lady-

“...... The county lord of Yongzhen is hereby named the eldest princess of Yongzhen, and she enjoys 1,500 households in the city, and she admires this!"

The eldest princess, the treatment that only the saint's own sister can enjoy, is now given to her. This is enough to show the saint's respect for her sister.

So much better.
