It's been a long time, and it's time for the princess to rest and rest.

"Jing'er, everything is ready, and the pro-guard army will take the first step to clean up the palace outside the city. Of course, there are ......?" Luo Chuan lowered his head, and his tone became lower and lower.

After a while, Luo Chuan slowly raised his head and couldn't bear to look at Gong Xuanjing. looked at her with a pair of lost eyes, and said with feeling: "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle." The scenery is there, and things are not people. The past should be resolutely let go, and the more you are involved, the less strength you have to move forward. ”

Lingji raised up slightly, carefully observing the left guard in front of him, he was stunned, maybe in Lingji's heart, he was not the chief of the guard, but a little friend who frolicked and played together as a child, she turned around, looked into the distance at the ghost valley that was deep in her heart, but long gone, and asked herself countless times in her heart, do you really want to leave? Do you really want to forget? Do you really want to let go? And what about the person who can't let go of her heart? She lowered her eyes, returned to her senses and said to Luo Chuan: "Let's go." ”

The corners of Luo Chuan's mouth were raised, and he smiled lightly and walked towards the black horse, but he stopped by the saddle, but he turned around and approached Lingji and said, "Princess, do you remember the way home?"

Lingji was stunned, she has lived in Luoyang for a few years, everything occupies the whole heart, she has long forgotten the family and country behind her head, as long as there is the third brother Gong Xuanyin and sister Su Xi in her heart, it is home, a warm home, but now it is ....... In the red eyes, tears were constantly swirling, and they seemed to be overflowing, but they couldn't bear it.

He used his left hand to help Lingji get on the horse, Lingji covered his hand with his left hand, and at this moment, he clenched his fists to break free from her hand, but she once again clenched the other's hand, and kept looking him in the eyes.

At this moment, he was relieved, and his heart was moved, it turned out that in her heart, I was Luo Chuan, not the chief of the left guard, and there was always a place of her own size in her heart, and she did not forget those youthful pasts, nor did she forget the agreement between them.

Lingji fell into deep thought.

"Run, Jing'er. Run, run, run....... ”

"Luo Chuan, my feet are grinding out small bubbles, I really can't run. ”

She was so tired that she was about to kneel on the ground, moving forward step by step, Luo Chuan had to turn back to pick up Jing'er, if the two of them didn't run, they would definitely be caught, the princess might be fine, but she would definitely be beaten up by her father.

"I'll carry you away. ”

"Good. ”

After running for a while, I heard a continuous sound.

"Stop, stop, you two stand for me......" The two big men shouted after him.

"Luo Chuan, let me go, you go first, otherwise both of us will be arrested and sent to the master, you and I will be miserable. ”

"No, I can't let you go, otherwise, my father will beat me. ”

"Why?"

"Because you're a princess. ”

"What's the reason for that?"

"What then?"

Seeing that he was about to be chased, Xuanjing said, "Put me down, let me go." ”

Xuanjing took Luo Chuan's hand and said to the two big men, "I am a princess, but I am hungry, I took your fruit to fill my stomach, and I turned around and ordered the maid to come back here and pay your silver taels." ”

"Princess, if you are not in the palace of Que Kingdom, how can you fool around outside? Who can you fool? You learned to steal at a young age, how do you teach you as a father and mother. ”

"Again, it's not stealing, it's taking, and then you'll pay for it. ”

"They look like thieves, and it's best to send them to the Governor's Mansion. ”

Luo Chuan rushed to the front and knelt on the ground and said, "Please, don't send us to the Governor's Mansion, we were wrong, even if we are hungry, we shouldn't steal, please forgive me!"

I saw that the two big men sent them to the Governor's Mansion one by one, and Lord Du Wei sent the two big men and apologized.

The princess was sent to the palace, but Luo Chuan was sent to the General's Mansion, and was whipped by his father, and he had to stab this stinky boy who went off the wrong path with a sword, but fortunately, which sword was hijacked by Gui Lao, but unfortunately Luo Chuan held the blade of the sword with his hand and scratched the palm, leaving a scar from then on. Under the persuasion of Gui Lao's kind words, he gave up and ended the matter.

Lingji buried her delicate feelings for Luo Chuan in her heart and didn't want to show it. She was a woman who didn't speak much and didn't communicate much, and her love was all put into deeds and forbearance.

She stroked Luo Chuan's scar back and forth, as if she wanted to say something, but she wanted to stop talking.

"Princess, say whatever you want. ”

"You came to Luoyang City because of your father's intention and Gui Lao's intention, right?"

When King De learned of the whereabouts of the princess, he immediately sent his guards to Luoyang City to confirm, and then secretly sent Luo Chuan to greet the princess in person, which shows that King De is very concerned about the princess. ”

"What about Mother?"

"After the sound of the princess, she has been recuperating in the harem due to serious illness, and is not in charge of harem affairs. ”

"Qilinzi, who is it?"

"She is the most spoiled princess of King De. ”

"Are you ready for everything I want?"

"Gui Lao has been preparing for a long time, but only the princess has returned. ”

"After so many years, it has changed too much, I don't know all the things that happen in and out of the palace, how to deal with personnel when I go back, and I am not good at government affairs. ”

"With Gui Lao and her father here, the princess will soon be able to take office. ”

"Thank you. ”

After the two got on their horses, they set off for the country of Que.

——

Outside the palace, I saw a woman pacing back and forth in the verandah, looking very anxious.

"Fan fan, what's wrong?"

"Tell the chief of the left guard that he will return to the palace tomorrow, and the slave maid will serve the princess, but at this moment the princess is unwilling to change into colorful clothes. ”

Through the screen window, Gong Xuanjing sat quietly in front of the mirror table, and the moonlight shone on the princess's ice muscle and jade bones, as pure as a fairy in the moon. Luo Chuan drowned a mouthful of saliva and hesitated for a long time, he was afraid in his heart, the things that the princess couldn't let go, the people who couldn't forget, would something go wrong tomorrow.

After thinking for a long time, he said to the fan fan: "Go and order, let the guards set up the princess's step, and enter the palace tomorrow." ”

"What about the colored clothes?"

"It's all up to the princess. ”

"Yes. The fans left and arranged them one by one.

——

The next day, the fish showed a shallow belly, and the guards had prepared all the equipment. At this moment, Gong Xuanjing in the sedan chair has mixed feelings, time is testing his patience, how to deal with the entanglement in his heart, the family relationship between his father and the queen of Yin, and some secrets mixed with his father, the thoughts of his brother Gong Xuanyin, the love and affection of his brother Gong Xuanyin, the sisterhood of Suxi as deep as the sea, and the marriage contract with Luo Chuan, there is more ...... She lifted the curtain, scene by scene projected in her brain, unconsciously lowered the curtain again, rubbed the corners of her skirt with her hands, bit her lips lightly with her teeth, sat on the futon and swung left and right, not placed.

"Princess, we're in town. Dare to ask, why don't you change your colorful clothes. ”

"I have my thoughts, but the chief of the left guard should not worry. If there is anything wrong, this princess will bear it alone. ”

"You know, that's not what I want. ”

"I'm sorry. ”

"Do it in your own way, Luo Chuan has always supported the princess. ”

——

Entering the city, it is a long and wide road, according to the regulations of the Que Kingdom, all the wooden buildings are black in color, in order to proclaim the priceless treasure of the country, righteousness and virtue, the roof of the house is blue tile, and the subjects like to write in regular letters, upright. Therefore, it is named Rende Avenue. The warm and simple people on the roadside had happy faces and shouted "The princess is back, the princess is back...... Or, "Princess, Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

"Princess, the people are welcoming you, will you meet them?"

"No...... See. ”

"There's something I want to say to the princess, but I'm afraid of ......?"

"You say?"

"Gong Xuanjing is Gong Xuanjing, and Lingji is Lingji. Since you are in the country of Que, you should put down a lot of Luoyang, you can put it in your heart, and you can't take it out to vent. Joy and anger are not good, the princess has always been like this, but now it is different, the princess is about to be the next king of the Que country, she should learn to be happy and greet the people with a smile. ”

Gong Xuanjing lowered his head and didn't speak, Luo Chuan was reluctant, but he still had to instruct. Otherwise, it will fall into the words of the dictator.

"Know you're not at ease. There will be many opportunities to meet with his subjects in the future. There is no rush in this matter, there is no hurry, take your time. ”

Carriages, horses, and pro-guards walked mightily on Rende Avenue, and were driving into the main gate of the Que Palace, with two rows of pro-guards dressed in black costumes with straight waists and mighty faces, paving the way for the princess to enter the palace, which was the etiquette system used by the princess of Que Guoyan.

I saw Gong Xuanjing get out of the car, white dress, long hair draped over the waist, no beaded hairpin jade, light makeup and pure, she seemed to want to look up but hesitated, and finally put her hand on the left shoulder of the pink fan, walked into the palace wall in small steps, stepped on the ladder, the pink fan walked on the left side behind the princess, Luo Chuan walked on the right side behind the princess, just entered the palace wall, Gong Xuanjing said softly: "Go down." ”

Fan Fan and Luo Chuan bowed back one by one.

Gong Xuanjing slowly knelt on the ground, nine steps and three kowtows, standing at the gate of the palace Gong Wunian and Yin, hurriedly walked down the ladder, and the unicorn on the side grabbed the hem of the king's clothes and said: "Your Majesty, Queen, you must not, otherwise you will lose your physique, you are the princess's father, you are also the king of the Que Kingdom, and your subordinates are all behind your back, what do you want them to say about you?"

After two quarters of an hour, the blood had oozed out of the white hakama, and the pain was pure and sweaty, but it hurt in the heart of the queen.

King De was puzzled: "What does Jing'er mean by this?"

Qilinzi responded: "The king doesn't know, and the concubines naturally don't know." The concubine thought that the queen loved the princess, and the queen should know it very well. ”

After the sound sobbed, she said: "Jing'er is guilty of not serving her father and mother, and she feels uncomfortable with the great gift of three bows and nine bows. ”

"I hope she's sincere. ”

"Alright, don't say it. ”

Gong Xuanjing climbed the ladder, the sound queen was already in tears, sobbing and running to her, Gong Xuanjing got up and hugged the sound queen and cried loudly.

"Jing'er, what are you doing here, how do you want the queen mother not to hurt?"

"After many years of being outside, I have not been filial piety, and my daughter is ....... ”

Empress Yin stroked Xuanjing's bun back and forth with her right hand, sobbing and crying, "The queen mother can't see you clearly, you know? ”

After the sound of holding up her daughter with both hands, she glanced at the King of De next to her, Xuanjing knew that she was crying silently, and moved to the front of King De, did not kneel to worship the King of De in front of her, the father of her own doing, she tilted her head, folded her hands, and looked at it with tears in her eyes, thinking in her heart: "If the sentence is true, how can you be in the palace? If what is told is proven to be false, then what is the secret?" Gong Xuanjing fell into her thoughts, her eyes had already exposed the deep worries in her heart, she was sure that all the secrets would eventually be revealed here, no matter what the outcome was?

"Gong Xuanjing, don't you know your father? Or have you forgotten your father?

"Jing'er, don't you know your father?" said King De, who stepped forward and took the princess's hand.

"You can forget anything, but how can Jing'er forget your father and mother? It's just that both your father and mother have added a lot of gray hair and a little wrinkles, and Jing'er can't bear to look at it. ”

"Go, Father has a lot to tell you, but you have to change your clothes before your servants can bow down. ”

"But...... But...... Third brother Xuanyin?"

"Your father has known about you in your secret letters. Jealous of talents, ...... my Xuanyin?"

Qilinzi said impatiently: "Today's reunion of father and daughter is a happy event, why should it be so sad?"

"Yes, let's hurry back to the palace, my mother has arranged for the maid to clean up your simple palace, go and see if you like it? ”

Gong Xuanjing nodded, and King De and Empress Yin each took her hand and entered the palace.

——

In the evening, all the ministers gathered in the Rende Hall to welcome the princess palace Xuanjing back to the palace, and the queen fidgeted in the Wuyu Palace, thinking about her daughter who had not lived in the court for a long time, for fear that she would develop the habits of the Central Plains and forget the rules and etiquette of the Que Kingdom.

"Are you worried about the princess?" said a maid who stepped forward and took her hand by the queen's hand.

"yes, I don't know how she prepared. ”

"Don't worry, Qiong'er can help you. ”

"Really?"

Qiong'er knelt at Yinhou's feet and said with a serious expression: "Qiong'er knows that Yinhou is worried that the princess will forget our rules and etiquette, and she is also afraid that the princess will be humiliated by Qilinzi because of this matter, and the ministers under the seat will talk about it. It is inconvenient to go after the sound, but Qiong'er is a maidservant, so it is convenient to convey the instructions of the queen of the sound, and it also helps the princess to familiarize herself with the etiquette in the hall as soon as possible. ”

"Thank you, Qiong'er. ”

"After the sound saved Qiong'er's life, not only gave Qiong'er food, but also continued to teach. There is difficulty after the sound, how can Qiong'er endure it. ”

After the sound helped the dome up, she said, "Remember, you must say it, let the princess do the same, and be cautious." ”

"Don't worry. Dome knows how to do it. After speaking, Qiong'er left with her hands.

———

"Tell the princess, the chief of the left guard asks to see. A handmaid said.

Gong Xuanjing thought in his heart, what is he doing at this time? I didn't think so much, so he said, "Yes." ”

"See the princess. Luo Chuan said.

"Get up, what's the matter?"

"Princess, how are you preparing?"

Gong Xuanjing knew that many things here had been forgotten by time and experience, and she was also afraid that if she didn't do well, it would affect the prestige of the Que Kingdom and the dignity of the royal family, so she only bowed her head and was silent in front of Luo Chuan, saying: "This palace is worried that she can't do it well." ”

"I'm worried, Luo Chuan is also very worried, so I'm ready to ask for help after the sound. Unfortunately, I met Sister Qiong on the road, and I had the same concerns as Weichen after knowing the news. ”

"Sister Qiong, come in. ”

"The slave maid meets the princess. Dome approached and said.

"With Sister Lao's teaching, Jing'er thank you. ”

"Since it is in order, the subordinates will retire. Luo Chuan said.

"Hmm. Luo Chuan kept looking at Gong Xuanjing, his eyes full of anticipation and joy.
