The last time Princess Gu'an returned, Princess Jinxian was still smiling, but now she has finally returned to Luoyang, the eastern capital, but she can only face that god, and her heart is inevitably gloomy.

After asking Princess Yuzhen to take her to worship and return to the Anguo Female Taoist Temple, she only felt that the breathless depression after returning to the Eastern Capital at first time was relieved a lot. Because of Du Shiyi's matchmaking, Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian helped her a lot at the beginning, so she also deeply respected the two, but even so, a lot of preparations she made before returning to Beijing, and even the big deal she made in Turkic, was absolutely impossible to say to anyone. Therefore, after a long absence, she reunited and said goodbye, and asked: "Lord, I wonder how everyone is now?" ”

"Gongsun?" Princess Yuzhen didn't expect Princess Gu'an to ask Aunt Gongsun, and after being slightly stunned, she smiled and said, "She is the camp general of Liyuan, and her brother's grace is important, and I don't know how many people in Lu Dao learned sword dance from her, and she can be regarded as a busy person." After so many years, the people who coveted her back then are now dead, and she has a lot easier to get in and out on weekdays. I forgot, her precious disciple is now married and is in Yunzhou, but she asked you to visit Gongsun? ”

"Exactly." Since Princess Yuzhen had guessed so, Princess Gu'an naturally nodded, "Yue Wuniang has always wanted to come back to see her, but the palace gate is deep, and it is always inconvenient." Coupled with Yue Wuniang's temper, she hates the two capitals where the powerful and powerful gather, so they have been separated from their master and apprentice for many years, and they only exchange letters, but they haven't seen each other for many years. ”

"It's easy to do. When others invite each other, most of the grandsons can shirk it, but when I invite them, she will always give a little thin noodles. What's more, knowing that you are temporarily living in my place now, she should be able to understand. After Princess Yuzhen agreed with a smile, she summoned Huo Qing, "You go to the pear garden in the palace to send a message, just say that Yuan Niang and I have not seen Gongsun Jianwu for a long time, and ask her to come over and talk about it." ”

Huo Qing left in response, the two of them had very different identities, but they were both lonely golden branches and jade leaves gossiping about the past, and for a while they felt that time was like a white horse passing by, and they were very melancholy. For more than ten years, they are all old, their faces are no longer there, and what is even more irresistible is the old state of mind, I have seen too many ups and downs, joys and sorrows, where is there still the beautiful mood of a girl? The two were silent for a while, but Princess Gu'an suddenly thought of another person who she hadn't seen here today, and asked suspiciously, "By the way, why didn't you see Taizhen today?" ”

As soon as she talked about this beloved apprentice who was almost like a daughter, Princess Yuzhen revealed deep helplessness. In front of Princess Gu'an, she didn't hide anything, and straightforwardly told Concubine Wu Hui that she wanted to hire a jade slave as Princess Shou, and sure enough, she saw Princess Gu'an's color change suddenly, and she had to explain the joints with a wry smile.

"To say that Taizhen is the same age as King Shou, if she is hired as Princess Shou, she will not be dishonored, but Junli is obviously extremely unhappy about this that day, and even specially begged me for this to find a way to stop this. And I grew up in the emperor's family since I was a child, and I know how difficult it is for this princess to do. Moreover, although Eighteen Lang is handsome and dignified, he has also learned to be a brother in terms of women, and he is suave, and there are more than ten favored palace people around him, not to mention more than ten people, and the princess of Yu Nu must not be good! But the Yang family was very enthusiastic about this, and invited her back today. Alas, even if Taizhen is a female crown, but the female crown is not a bhikshuni, I am really afraid that I am sorry for the entrustment of Junli! ”

In Princess Gu'an's heart, her biological mother died early, although her biological father is still in the world, and she has her mother, the county lord of Lantian and many half-brothers and sisters, but for her, those people are just familiar strangers, without any affection, and the real relatives in this world are Du Shiyi's righteous brother. Therefore, his relatives and friends are her relatives and friends, and his apprentice is also her apprentice, not to mention that Princess Yuzhen and Sima Chengzhen took the jade slave north to Yunzhou, she once took them to enjoy the scenery, and she also loved the innocent jade slave very much.

Even if the crown prince's position in the East Palace is in jeopardy, if Concubine Wu Hui finally succeeds in planning the East Palace to change hands, Yunu can become the crown princess of the East Palace from Princess Shou in one fell swoop, but she doesn't think this is a good thing at all.

There have always been so many princesses in the Tang Dynasty, but there is a good end? Not a single one! Either he became a concubine with the deposed prince, or even if he could be canonized as a queen by the crown princess, he was deposed, and then there were people like Empress Wei who were killed in a disorderly manner!

Therefore, when she followed the maid to the residence arranged by Princess Yuzhen for herself, she sent Zhang Yao out of Lu to inquire about the current situation of Yunu. After about half an hour, Zhang Yao hurried back and said, "The real lady is back!" I went to see the Lord first, and the Lord told her that your lord is now temporarily living in the Taoist Temple of Anguo, so she will come over to greet your lord in about a while. ”

As Zhang Yao said, it was only a moment before the jade slave came in a hurry. Although she is dressed as a female crown, she can wear it on her body, but it makes her skin as white as snow and her jade face as picturesque. The two had not seen each other for many years, and Princess Gu'an was immediately surprised and delighted when she saw her, so she actually got up and walked a few steps, and pressed Yunu's shoulder unwillingly.

"It's eight years since I said goodbye, good boy, I didn't expect you to be so old!"

Yunu's mother died early, and her father has passed away for several years, although she has sisters, she can marry people, she is still young, and her uncle Yang Xuanqi is good to her, but after all, she is separated by a layer, not to mention her aunt, it is not as good as Princess Yuzhen to treat her sincerely. At this moment, when she heard Princess Gu'an's words of true feelings, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and after opening her mouth, she spit out the word aunt for a long time. This aunt's call made Princess Gu'an's heart melt, and she hugged the person tightly in her arms for a while, and after a while, she let go of her embrace, but pulled the person to sit down beside her.

"How have you been all these years?"

"Well, I'm fine, let my aunt worry about it." Yu Nu habitually replied like this, but when she saw Princess Gu'an's eyes turn sharply, she was stunned for a moment.

"Don't lie to me, the Lord has told me everything!" Princess Gu'an bluntly pierced the lie of Yunu, and saw that she really showed an irrepressible panic, and then lowered her head, she simply stretched out her hand and took the person in her arms, "Your master and sister have always loved you, and your master knows that I want to go back to Beijing to live, and I entrust me to make sure that you are safe and happy, and not be swayed by others." Even between the lines, they all disapprove of that thing. Yunu, as long as you don't want to, even if you do your best, your aunt won't let you be a princess of Shou! ”

"Auntie...... Aunt! ”

This time, Yunu finally couldn't help but shed tears. This time I went back to see my uncle and aunt, and all her sisters came. Whether it is the eldest sister Yuqing or the third sister Yuyao, when it comes to Concubine Wu Hui's plans, they are all happy, and they all explicitly imply that she must agree. Even the uncle, who said that everything was as she wanted, said nothing more than the benefits of this family affair if it could be done. But compared to these, she came out of the Yang family in a distraught, walked around aimlessly, and finally found a secluded Taoist temple to distract from the person she met, and the words she heard were what made her really hard to decide.

"Don't cry, don't cry, if you have anything to say, just say it to your aunt!"

Knowing that Du Shiyi could call Princess Gu'an a sister, she could pour out all those problems and tell her, but, thinking about the man's admonition, Yunu finally bit her lip, but said in a low voice: "Thank you aunt for your concern, I ...... I'm fine. Don't make it so difficult for you because of my business......"

"What's the embarrassment, what a woman is most afraid of in her life is marrying the wrong person! I am irretrievable, your master is because you don't want to redeem, don't you want to be like your master, marry the most outstanding man, and live in peace and joy? ”

Yu Nu shook his head desperately, and finally suddenly wiped his eyes vigorously, and actually stood up like this, lowered his head and said, "Anyway, auntie, don't worry about me." ”

Seeing that Yunu just turned around and ran out of the house, Princess Gu'an was stunned for a moment, and her heart quickly thought about it. Those men with noble backgrounds and handsome appearances, especially those who are blessed with such a unique fortune as Li Qing, the king of longevity, have always been the ideal objects for the marriage of the eunuchs of the two capitals. And when today's son chooses a concubine for the prince, he often chooses a seemingly famous family, and the eunuchs of his father, ancestors and brothers are very ordinary, from this point of view, the jade slave will naturally not be unqualified. As for what Concubine Wu Hui's selfishness thinks, she can think of it even with her toes, which is nothing more than using marriage to form strong reinforcements for Shouwang Li Qingwai. However, why does Li Longji seem to ignore such a thing?

And Yunu ran all the way until she locked the door and locked herself in the room, and then she sat down on the cold ground softly.

"Dashuai now seems to be modest, and the scenery is unique. But ten years later, the handsome man is only in his early forties, and he is in his prime; Twenty years later, the marshal is not over 50 years old, and most of them are prime ministers of the DPRK and China, and there are few who have just passed 50 and entered the political hall. So, what about 10 years from now? What will happen twenty years from now? Is it that the saint is not jealous, and he knows that others will not secretly harbor jealousy? Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the marriage of the lady, don't you know if it's some kind of temptation? If the lady thinks about herself and the handsome, please ignore this matter, let it be, and just listen to the holy order! ”

Go with the flow and only listen to the Holy Command? In other words, she just needs to wait obediently for the Son of Heaven to show her true heart?

The jade slave stood up with difficulty on the ground, stumbled forward, found the lute, which he used to practice as a child, adjusted the strings back and forth, and then plucked it. In the sound of the pipa, she thought of the scene when Du Shiyi taught herself the pipa when she was a child, the scene when he took him to see the fairy master, and the scene when she returned from the Yazhou coffin, the servant talked about her father's years in Yazhou, full of ambition to govern the party, and sighed that he was fortunate to meet Bole in his life...... Before she knew it, her eyes were covered with tears.

She had also heard some gossip behind her back. For example, the Son of Heaven sent Miao Yansi to Longyou to interview and dispose of the envoy, which also means to check and balance Du Shiyi; For example, Li Linfu, who is now among the three phases of the political affairs hall, and Du Shiyi are opposites, so they are deeply jealous of him; For example, Concubine Wu Hui's marriage this time is not only to hire her as Princess Shou, but in fact, the important thing is to find out Du Shiyi's true intentions and see if he is secretly supporting the crown prince in the East Palace; As for the mind of the Son of Heaven, it is even more inexplicable...... She is no longer a child, and there are some things that she doesn't know, but she just doesn't want to know!

Even if she can't help the master who is far away in Longyou, at least she can't drag her feet and stumble on his footsteps! She can't just resign herself to fate, she must at least really face the Supreme Son of Heaven!
