Princess Celestia held a white dove and sat in a luxurious carriage, and the team immediately set off. Tao Ziyun remembered that the white pigeon was the pigeon that passed the book to the eldest princess flying pigeon at the Qixi Festival party in Sanyin that year. Tao Ziyun rode a Mongolian horse brought by the eldest princess from the Mongolian tribe and walked side by side with the carriage.

At the front of the procession was the people and horses brought by the eldest princess from the Mongolian tribe, and behind it was the honor guard that the emperor asked Tao Ziyun to take as a guest.

Tao Ziyun rode close to the window of the carriage and asked the eldest princess inside, "Princess, do you know Prince Jin?"

"Know some. What's wrong with him?" the eldest princess replied simply, and strangely lifted the curtain and asked, "You are in charge of the Zhan Mansion, how can you take care of Prince Jin's affairs?"

"Because he is a relative of the emperor, most people don't know much about his situation, and now I am walking with you, so I will ask you about his situation. Here's the thing, I know a man named Li Bao, he entered Prince Jin's mansion, and later heard Cang Shangshu of the Criminal Department say that he was a general under Prince Jin. Li Bao once went to the south and kidnapped a county official in order to avenge a scoundrel named Xixiao'er, because Xixiao'er's father had rescued Prince Jin outside the Guan. ”

"So, Counselor Li has committed a crime in the south, and you want to bring him to justice? You don't care about these things, I don't want to tell you this. The princess said, and lowered the curtains.

Tao Ziyun insisted on continuing with the princess: "Li Bao committed a crime in the south, we didn't find him, we just asked him to let the county official go, and it was over." What I am concerned about now is that Prince Jin repaid the washing family back then, and he really gave up the money and gave the washing family a lot of gold and silver. He is so rich, I inquired, the local government always said that there was no money, and the imperial treasury also said that there was no money, so I was thinking. Is the money in the treasury embezzled by people like him?"

The eldest princess was silent in the carriage for a while, and then replied to Tao Ziyun: "Do you suspect that he is a corrupt official?"

Tao Ziyun affirmed and said: "That's right, I asked the minister of the court, and Cangshangshu of the Criminal Department knew a little about Prince Jin, and the others replied that they didn't know. I was thinking that Prince Jin had committed a crime, and the Criminal Department had kept his case record, but as a relative of the Emperor, the Criminal Department did not punish his crimes. ”

"That's because. Even if he is a corrupt official, there is no need for the criminal department to punish him. The eldest princess's explanation made Tao Ziyun cry and laugh: "Because of Prince Jin's official position, it is now the housekeeping order of the family affairs office, and it is the highest official of the family affairs office. However, the housekeeping government is in charge of housework, and the housework cases that are difficult to be decided by the clean officials have to be decided by corrupt officials. Corrupt officials are able to handle domestic cases. ”

Tao Ziyun resolutely said: "How can this be done? If there are such people, the treasury will run out of money. After I return to the court, I must assist Cang Shangshu and close the case committed by Prince Jin. He can't be allowed to continue to do the housework order of the housekeeping office anymore. ”

The eldest princess opened the curtain of the carriage again, and she eagerly stopped Tao Ziyun and said, "Don't be so stubborn! If you cause royal infighting, I'm worried that I won't pay attention to you anymore!"

When he said this, he seemed to be not speculative: "If you ignore me, ignore me." Why don't you marry Ling Zhuangyuan? You make me feel sorry for Ling Zhuangyuan. It's actually quite embarrassing for you to value me now and let me go to the Mongolian county king as a guest. You ignore me anymore. I don't have to go to see that Mongolian king again. ”

The eldest princess seemed to understand something: "It turns out that you have been worried about my non-marriage to Ling Zhuangyuan? Just because he followed me to San'in to find my princess sister? Do you think that I am very close to him and very good, so you respect me? You regard him as a good friend and think about him, so you think I should marry him?"

Tao Ziyun replied embarrassedly: "So to speak. ”

After a series of rhetorical questions from Celestia, she remained silent for a while, but did not lower the curtain of the carriage again. Tao Ziyun gradually surfaced a feeling of unease, the matter has come to this, the more clearly he speaks to the eldest princess, the more embarrassed the eldest princess may be. Thinking of this, Tao Ziyun felt scared for a while.

After a while, the eldest princess sighed and said slowly: "In all areas of the world, it is inevitable that you can't help yourself!"

"Yes, where is it as simple as people in the rivers and lakes who can't help themselves, but as the princess said, in all fields of the world, they can't help themselves!" Tao Ziyun praised the eldest princess, and then comforted the eldest princess and said: "Princess, things are already like this, you have to take care of yourself, you must be happy." ”

"Well, if you want me to be happy, think about what you should do? Because if you want to be happy, in addition to your own efforts, you have to have a little influence from others. The eldest princess thought for a while, and tactfully made a small request to Tao Ziyun.

"Well, I'll tell you some jokes to make you laugh. Tao Ziyun said, and began to tell all kinds of jokes to the eldest princess.

With Tao Ziyun's joke, the eldest princess laughed softly in the carriage and kept laughing.

Tao Ziyun suddenly interspersed a so-called joke that was not funny, and the eldest princess still laughed when she heard it, Tao Ziyun asked the eldest princess: "Princess, is it really funny?"

The eldest princess reminisced about the so-called joke just now, and blamed Tao Ziyun: "Hey, are you blaming me for laughing wrong? Dead Tao Ziyun! Can't you keep telling funny and ridiculous jokes? You even fooled me with unfunny words!"

Tao Ziyun shouted loudly: "Oh, princess, you also think that paragraph just now is not funny and funny! You are still laughing because of inertia, right?"

The Grand Duke replied thoughtfully: "It's because of inertia, and because of respect for your efforts for me, you make me happy, can I not laugh?"

Tao Ziyun said with a little regret: "Alas, I hope you can laugh sincerely at the jokes I said that can make you laugh; It's not always perfect to make the princess smile reluctantly!"

Princess Celestia smiled generously and replied, "It's okay, it's extra joy to have you tell me jokes." ”

"I'm not here, you can let the forehead tell you a joke. Tao Ziyun then asked the eldest princess and said: "Princess, if I am not here, you must be as happy as you are now, you have to live a long and healthy life for your friends, so that you can be worthy of being a princess." ”

"Well, Princess Ben already knows. The eldest princess inevitably asked about the life of Tao Ziyun and Miss Huang, "Let me ask you, are you happy with Miss Huang?"

"Well, I should be content, so, what I'm going to say is - I'm having a good time now!" Tao Ziyun finished talking about his previous feelings, and then worried about the next situation, "It's just that when I get to the Mongolian tribe, I don't know if I will have a happy time." ”

The eldest princess replied affirmatively, "When you get there, we will try to make your stay as happy as possible, because now I invited you to the Naadam Convention of the Mongolian people, which is a grand festival with a long history and tradition of the Mongolian people, and it is very fun." ”

"Oh, so that's the case, then I'll move forward with confidence!" Therefore, Tao Ziyun relaxed his mood, and along the way, he chatted with the eldest princess in the sea and the sky, along the spacious post road, traveled during the day, stayed in the post house at night, and after a few days, he came to the green grass and shaded prairie!

They continued to lead the team forward, and according to the hint of the eldest princess, they were almost to the tribe where the eldest princess was attached!

The eldest princess suddenly said to Tao Ziyun in the carriage: "Tao Ziyun, I want to sue you now, Efu proposed to me, and I was instigated by Prince Jin, and this is what I heard him say after I got married to Efu." At first, I didn't understand why Prince Jin was so enthusiastic about Efu and strongly encouraged and supported him to marry me. Now that I heard you talk about Li Bao going to deal with the washing of the family, I understand that it is because you have a holiday with Prince Jin's life-saving benefactor, the washing family, and you let the washing family turn from prosperity to decline, so Prince Jin doesn't want me to marry you!"

Tao Ziyun listened to the words of the eldest princess, and his mood suddenly declined: "It's possible, Prince Jin wants to take revenge on me with this." But it's come to this, and in order to have a happy Naadam conference, don't mention him now. ”

Princess Celestia continued without saying anything: "Don't say no now, I have to prepare you for it." Because, when you go to the Mongolian tribe this time, you will meet Prince Jin! You know, he did not appear on the day of the poem in the Imperial Garden. In fact, the day before yesterday, he had privately asked him to take the first step and go to the Mongolian tribe together. This is what was attached to me before we set out on the road. I will choose the people officially sent by the imperial court, and he will privately invite Prince Jin, who will help him successfully propose to me!"

"Oh my God, I'm about to face Prince Jin, I have to be mentally prepared!" Tao Ziyun exclaimed and continued to ask the eldest princess: "Then did you tell Prince Jin that you asked me to lead a team to the tribe as a guest." ”

Princess Celestia said firmly, "No." The carrier pigeon has always been in my hands. I don't need to let them know in advance, it's you who came to the Mongolian tribe as a guest, and whoever comes over will have to be warmly welcomed and warmly received!"

Tao Ziyun exhaled and plucked up the courage to reply, "Okay, I'll deal with them carefully." ”

At this time, the grassland they passed through, red flowers and green grass, herds of cattle, sheep, and horses, all kinds of livestock were so fat and strong, and there were more yurts.

A group of men and horses, both men and women, galloped in joy on their horses and dressed in festive costumes.

A man dressed in the official uniform of the Qing court rolled his saddle and dismounted, and bowed down in front of the carriage of the eldest princess: "Prince I welcome the eldest princess!"

Tao Ziyun reined in the horses and muttered, "He is Prince Jin!"

A big man dressed in Mongolian clothes got off his horse and went straight to Tao Ziyun to salute Mongolian, and at the same time he shouted: "The blue and white winged god of the Mongolian county welcomes the distinguished guests of the imperial court!"

At this time, Prince Jin raised his head, he had paid great attention to Tao Ziyun before, and knew Tao Ziyun, when he saw that the visitor was Tao Ziyun, he exclaimed: "You are Tao Ziyun!"

Before this, Tao Ziyun hadn't noticed Prince Jin, but now facing him, he felt a sense of hostility, Tao Ziyun couldn't help but say: "You are Prince Jin, the housekeeping order of the Family Affairs Office!" (To be continued......)
