In the evening, several carriages drove forward slowly, and in the direction they were heading, a faint gray shadow of the city pier could be seen, but the distance was too far to make the shadow clear even if they looked hard.

The carriage stopped in a town outside the city, the carriage was very luxurious, and the cavalry escorting it was even larger, at a glance, there must be at least three or five hundred people, the carriage stopped, and a maid lifted the curtain, revealing a face that was almost perfect - Princess Tang Yun.

Hundreds of cavalry dismounted, greeted the princess got off the car, this place, is the last stop before entering Chang'an, this half a month, the princess after several twists and turns, finally came to Chang'an outside the city, she raised her eyes to look at the capital for many years, a smile appeared on her face, a slight smile, it was like a cardamom blossom.

Although she was a little impatient and wanted to enter the capital as soon as possible, she had to stay here for the night because the envoys from the capital, the representatives of the court officials, and the complicated and elaborate princess honor guards had been waiting outside the city for the princess's return a few days ago.

The second carriage drove slowly at this time, the curtain was lifted a corner, and the old man Ning Qing gently stroked his gray beard, but it was a pity that his slender white beard had already been cut off in half during the battle, and now it looked nondescript.

The princess settled in the inn, which was a royal station.

Ning Qing is a great cultivator, and he is also the imperial history of Qin Tianjian, and he is also the princess's guard, so naturally he also followed the princess into the post station.

There is no snow in Chang'an City, it's not that Chang'an City doesn't snow, but this year's Chang'an City doesn't have much snow, it has already melted, and now Chang'an has entered spring, but the first spring rain that is as expensive as oil has not yet come.

"Ning Lao, drink tea and warm up. ”

The princess had a lot of respect for Ning Qing, not only for the old man, but also because Ning Qing was a great cultivator, she personally poured a cup of tea for Ning Qing and handed it to Ning Qing.

Ning Qing is old, he is the most respectful person at his age, facing the princess's tea, he immediately took it with both hands, knelt on one knee, and said flatteredly: "Your Highness, I can't help it, the old minister ......"

"No," the princess grabbed Ning Qing and said, "Ning Lao, you watched me grow up and traveled thousands of miles to Changling County to pick me up for this kindness, how can you be grateful for a cup of tea?"

What the princess said was sincere, at least her expression was very sincere, Ning Qing stood up, sighed, and said, "Then, old minister, I'm ashamed!"

The princess smiled slightly, sat in front of Ning Qing, poured a cup of tea, did not drink it, but put it on the table, raised her head to look at Ning Qing, and said, "Ning Lao, do you have any plans in the future?"

"Plans?" Ning Qing frowned and said, "The old minister is already this age, what else can he plan?"

"I've been back to Beijing, it's been five years, and I think my younger brother Mo Yi has grown up, and my father is a little old, I need to make another plan!"

The princess still had a smile on her face, and her tone was very calm, but when it fell on Ning Qing's ears, it seemed to carry a fierce killing intent, which frightened him to his hands.

Heaven is ruthless,

These four words, he has been in the capital all his life, and he has seen too much, how can he not understand the meaning of Tang Yun's words?

Today, the saint has passed fifty, but he has never established a prince, and Tang Moyi, the royal brother of the third princess Tang Yun and her mother, is now almost in the age of establishment, and he is one of the candidates for the prince.

Tang Yun is back, she naturally has to make a plan, and there is only one plan, to support her younger brother to become the prince.

But Tang Yun is now mentioning this matter in front of Ning Qing, he is forcing Ning Qing to stand in line, but he has already half of his body in the ground, is it necessary to do this?

However, Qilingyi resisted the enemy, and Weicheng invited soldiers, it was he who begged Tang Yun to go, and Tang Yun also went to the matter of nine deaths and a lifetime!

Ning Qing was very entangled, he suddenly remembered Gu Qingci, I don't know how this young man who admired him would react to this kind of thing?

Tang Yun didn't ask, she knew that it was too late, so she smiled and said, "Elder Ning, what do you think of Gu Qingci?"

Ning Qing was in a long mood, and when he had the steps, he naturally stepped on it, and immediately said, "Master Gu...... He is the only young man that Lao Chen has admired for so many years, he is iron-clad, proud of the world, upright, and a very strategic person, and he is a rare talent. ”

Such an evaluation is really rare. Tang Yun held the teacup in his hand and said softly: "I am also very curious about this person, he should wake up now, he should come to Chang'an in the near future, and when the time comes, he should have a good contact." ”

Ning Qing opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Highness wants to recruit Lord Gu, I'm afraid it won't be easy to ......."

Ning Qing and Gu Qingci did not have deep contact, but he felt very deeply about Gu Qingci, he felt that Gu Qingci was not like the kind of character that could be suppressed, Gu Qingci's personality was more like a Jianghu person, everything was entourage, and officialdom was not suitable for Gu Qingci.

However, before Ning Qing could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock outside the door, and a guard announced: "Her Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, Ma Shangshu asks to see you!"

Tang Yun and Ning Qing both raised their eyebrows, this Ma Dongyang didn't come at the right time.

Ma Dongyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the representative of the court officials who greeted the princess this time, Tang Yun was a little shocked when he first knew that it was Ma Dongyang, which is very unreasonable, Ma Dongyang is a dignified book of the Ministry of Rites, and he will not come to greet a princess.

Now that Ma Dongyang has visited suddenly, it is basically certain that the situation may be a little special.

Tang Yun met with Ma Dongyang.

She is not familiar with Ma Dongyang, nor is she a stranger, when she was in the capital in the early years, the two of them had not met less, after many years, when she saw Ma Dongyang again, she couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly remembered that Ma Zhibai, who was very proud of his reading bones, was really carved out of the same mold as his father.

"Minister, Ma Dongyang pays a visit to the princess. When Ma Dongyang saw the princess, he immediately saluted.

Although Tang Yun is arrogant, although she is a royal princess, she doesn't have much capital in front of Yipin Shangshu, and said slightly: "Ma Shangshu doesn't have to be polite, I don't know if you suddenly visited, what's the matter?"

Tang Yun got straight to the point, but Ma Dongyang was slightly stunned, but he was only slightly stunned, and he felt a little emotional, no wonder he heard that the third princess returned to Beijing, and several princes in the capital were a little flustered.

If it were a normal day, Ma Dongyang might still want to take back the initiative, but thinking of the purpose of this time, he also said directly: "Her Royal Highness the princess has just returned from Changling County, do you know that Changling County respects Gu Qingci?"

"Naturally!" Tang Yun said: "This palace has crossed paths with him. ”

Tang Yun didn't say much, just right, and stopped abruptly.

Ma Dongyang listened to Tang Yun's tone and knew that the princess was wary, so he said directly: "Your Royal Highness the princess, can you know how much credit Gu Qingci has......? He can't afford it even in a small county order!"
