Tang Qingmei put on her coat, walked to the stable, rode on the Dawan horse, drove to the north, and went straight to Xingqing Mansion, the summer capital. After arriving at Xingqing Mansion, Tang Qingmei went to the Xia Palace.

Tang Qingmei walked slowly into the hall, Xia Chongzong, Li Qianshun and Empress Yelu Nanxian were sitting opposite each other and drinking tea.

Tang Qingmei knelt down and said, "The sons and daughters see the father and the queen mother." ”

Yelu Nanxian said: "Qingmei, how long have you not been back to the palace, so that the palace is worried." After finishing speaking, he helped Tang Qingmei with both hands.

Tang Qingmei said: "It's the son's unfilial piety, which makes the father and mother worried." ”

Li Qianshun said: "Qingmei, you are not young anymore. I ask you: You are the flesh and blood of my Li family, wandering outside, in order to hide the identity of the princess, I have no choice but to change my surname and change my name, but there are thousands of surnames, why did I choose 'Tang'?"

Tang Qingmei said: "Qingmei is puzzled, may my father teach me." ”

Li Qianshun said: "My clan is a member of the party, and my ancestors were given the surname Li, which has been inherited to this day. But our people should not only have the surname of the Han people, but also the culture and skills of the Han people, and my dream is that the Xia country will one day be strong, economically prosperous, and the people will be rich. And 'Tang' is the representative of the prosperity of the Han dynasty, and the surname of the Tang Dynasty king is also 'Li'. ”

Tang Qingmei nodded knowingly.

Yelu Nanxian said: "Qingmei, a hard-working child, has left the palace and your father since he was a child. After finishing speaking, Yelu Nanxian hid his face and wept.

Li Qianshun said: "Qingmei, the ancestors of Cao Fuqing are Han people, I let you grow up in Qinglu Palace since you were a child, one is so that you can learn a skill, the second is to let you see the world, and the third is to let you be exposed to Han culture. ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Erchen knows his father's hard work, and Erchen will not disappoint his father and mother." ”

Yelu Nanxian cried: "Qingmei, you have to take good care of yourself outside. ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Erchen knows, and Queen Xie is worried. ”

Li Qianshun said: "I heard that you have been to the Central Plains with Zhen Yue once before, and you have also been to Liaodong once?"

Tang Qingmei said: "Yes, father." ”

Li Qianshun said: "What kind of favorite man can you meet on the road?"

Tang Qingmei inadvertently smiled slightly, but the smile was immediately taken away and she was silent.

Li Qianshun said: "I think you also understand the meaning of me and Master Cao, so I don't want you to have a personal relationship with your children." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Yes, father." ”

Tang Qingmei has lived in Qinglu Palace since she was a child, and rarely returns to the Xia Palace, she is so unfamiliar with the towers, pavilions, flowers, grasses, insects and fish in the palace, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace are extremely in awe of this princess, because even if the princess returns to the palace, she can't see a few faces, even if she sees a few faces, please Ann Kowtow can't see her face clearly, only know that she was born fair-skinned and beautiful, beautiful and refined.

On the last night of the three days of returning to the palace, Tang Qingmei walked alone in the garden wrapped in a coat, thinking about her fate, feeling that although the previous two long trips were dangerous, but friends trusted each other, took care of each other, and resisted the enemy together, but it was very warm. Tang Qingmei stood by the pond, looking at Xiao Suo's sky, understanding that she was not an ordinary woman and had to shoulder a certain responsibility, Tang Qingmei closed her eyes and warned herself that she must not let her father and master down. At this time, a carrier pigeon flew from the sky, and Tang Qingmei took down the letterhead, which read: "Leave tomorrow." Tang Qingmei looked at these extremely simple words, and her heart suddenly warmed.

Tang Qingmei took out a thin wire and wrote: "Tomorrow morning, we will return." After tying, he stroked the pigeon, and gradually, the pigeon flew out of sight.

After the morning of the next day, Tang Qingmei bid farewell to Li Qianshun and Yelu Nanxian and set off to return to Qinglu Palace. When Tang Qingmei arrived at the foot of Zhongxiu Mountain, she found that Zhen Yue and others had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time. Five days later, Zhen Yue, Yang Tianmu, Lin Xuanxiang, Li Lianyu, Tang Qingmei, and Mo Ruqiu arrived at the foot of Xuantianmen Mountain, and Qingzhou was also snowy at this time.

Zhen Yue said: "The two of you reported that Zhen Yue, Lin Xuanxiang, Yang Tianmu and others came to visit. ”

The disciple of Yishanmen said: "The head of the sect has specially explained, Zhen Yixian does not need to report when he comes, please ask the six to go up the mountain directly." ”

Zhen Yue said: "That's very good. ”

The six of them made their way up the snow-covered stone steps up the mountain.

Lin Xuanxiang said: "Senior Sister Zhen, if you are in the evil land, it is better to be careful. ”

Yang Tianmu said: "Yes, cousin, Lin Nuxia is right. ”

Zhen Yue said: "I don't know, I just don't want this group of wicked people to see our fear." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "Zhen Yixian is reasonable, and if he comes, he will be safe." ”

Mo Ruqiu looked at Tang Qingmei and nodded approvingly.

In the main hall of Xuantian Gate, Xiao Mengyang showed impatience and said, "Prime Minister Cai, today is the seventh day to hear you say: 'Zhen Yue and Yang Tianmu will come'." ”

Cai Jing said: "The young owner is not impatient, and his appearance is never false. ”

Xiao Mengyang said: "Recently, the northern Jurchen dog thieves have been very active, and I am still waiting to go to level them, if it will take so long to 'pull out the thorn' for Prime Minister Cai next time, Xiao can do nothing." ”

Cai Jing said: "As soon as Yang Tianmu and Zhen Yue die, the Liao Kingdom is also very beneficial. The truth still needs to be explained?"

Xiao Ruyu said: "Prime Minister Cai is right, if the people of the Song Kingdom were as kind as Prime Minister Cai, my Da Liao would have been able to exterminate the Jurchens with all his might." ”

Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Master Jingyuan still hasn't heard from him?"

Xiao Mengyang said: "That bald donkey, I have to compete with that blue-clothed girl, what kind of Qinxue swordsmanship, I persuaded him to die early." ”

At this time, Zhen Yue and the other six people walked in, and the six people who were hiding in the dark were very surprised to see that the six people were full of energy, and thought: "Brother Feng doesn't know where he is at this time." I don't know that the water is cold, and Ye Fengshang at this time is recuperating in Caidie Canyon. Before traveling, Zhen Yue deliberately did not inform Ye Feng of his whereabouts, so that he could heal his injuries and prevent his injuries from getting worse.

Zhen Yue said: "Prime Minister Cai, I haven't seen you for many years, and your treacherous face hasn't changed at all." ”

Xiao Mengyang said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to speak, you can talk with your fists and feet." ”

Cai Jing said: "Don't worry, let him say his last wish before he dies." ”

Xiao Ruyu said: "This is what this girl is most interested in. Prime Minister Cai, if you torture these two big men and cry, this girl will sincerely admire you. ”

Lin Xuanxiang said: "It's not necessarily who laughs and who cries. ”

Zhen Yue said: "Cai Jing, it was you who designed me to be kicked out of the house by the Bai family, and so far the mother and daughter have not recognized each other." I'll make a break today. ”
