Crossing the East Palace

The eldest princess is the daughter of Concubine Qin Shu.

In the eighth year of Tianyuan, King Ping and Concubine Qin Shu's mother's family, the Qin family, rebelled together, leaving no one behind in the Qin family.Concubine Qin Shu was imprisoned in the cold palace. Because she gave birth to the eldest princess, Emperor Tianyuan retained her title.

However, under the instigation of traitors, the eldest princess caused Chen Baolin to have a miscarriage, so she was decreed by the empress dowager to go to the nunnery to practice together with the fifth princess, who was not yet one year old at the time.

From the eighth year of Tianyuan to the fourteenth year of Tianyuan, the eldest princess grew up in the nunnery from seven to 14 years old before returning to the palace.Among them, the age when the daughter's family should be favored wantonly, the eldest princess spent in the nunnery of the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.

The nunnery is indeed quiet.

The fifth princess is too young, has never seen the scenery outside, and is frightened by the palace people around her, so although it is boring, she can stay here.

But for the eldest princess, penance in the nunnery is tantamount to torture.She remembers the scenery of her princess, the flattery and flattery of everyone, the gold, silver, pearl and jade jewelry, all kinds of cloth and costumes, and even those dim sum meals that she doesn't like... But in the nunnery, Nothing at all.

Morning scriptures, wooden fish and green clothes, bald head, and meals without a trace of meat, these are all that the princess has in the nunnery.

The eldest princess didn't want to think about such penance.As for the fifth princess who was with her in the nunnery, the eldest princess was both jealous and disdainful.

At the same time, the nunnery was being repaired, the eldest princess's mother died cleanly, the mother and concubine lived in the cold palace, and the empress dowager and the empress dowager only remembered her during the festivals; and the fifth princess?What about the fifth princess who was easily fooled by the palace people?The Shen family firmly remembers that the fifth princess always sends something up every now and then. The fifth princess's biological mother, Concubine Xin, does not need to think too much about it, and she often sends things here. The clothes on the fifth princess are all sewn by Concubine Xin herself. , and for some reason, the queen cared about the fifth princess.

If the fifth princess was confined in the nunnery like her, and was lonely and unattended, the eldest princess might still have some feelings for the fifth princess.However, everything is more difficult, the eldest princess has been left out in the cold, and her mother is all dead, how can she get used to the fifth princess living well?

Because of all kinds of resentment in this heart, the eldest princess often intervened on the way of the fifth princess being raised.

Although the Eldest Princess didn't understand at all, why did she plan against the Fifth Princess, but the Fifth Princess still trusted her as before?

Even the fifth princess thought about it herself, and she did something about the twelfth princess... The fifth princess didn't dare to tell anyone, but she just told her.

The eldest princess was sitting in the carriage, thinking of this, she smiled strangely.Look, jealousy is in everyone.The queen forbade the fifth princess to recognize her own mother, and raised, pampered, and protected the fifth princess as if she were the first-born princess. Didn't she raise the fifth princess's heart?In order to be favored by the queen alone, to be the only daughter under the queen's knees, and even to do such things, to kill the twelve princesses who have always been healthy?

There was a mocking smile on the corner of the eldest princess's lips—although, if it was her who had been raised as the first-born princess for so long, she would have delusions in her heart, and she would even be jealous, and she might be like the fifth princess. The princess is so hands-on.But, at least, she won't be so confused and tell the news to someone who obviously has bad intentions for her.

With the fifth princess's life gate, the eldest princess thought that if the fifth princess was disobedient in the future, it would be a breeze for her to handle her.

"not yet?"

"Princess, don't worry, it's almost here. But, we have to change our outfits so we can go there."

The Eldest Princess thought that the place where the Prince made an appointment with her was a waiter's hotel in Chang'an City that was opened in the past two years, so she couldn't help but be silent for a while, and said after a while: "Change your clothes, make another turn, and make a detour."

The eldest princess's maid naturally agreed not to mention it.

The eldest princess sat in the carriage, thinking in her heart, even if the crown prince obtained the evidence that the fifth princess killed the twelfth princess, to her, she was at best a crime of not reporting - but the twelfth princess was her Younger sister, the fifth princess is also her younger sister, if something really happens one day, maybe she can use the reason of "I have already lost one sister, and I don't want to lose another sister" to win the trust of my father?

In this way, even the crown prince can do nothing to her.

The eldest princess calmed down a little, and wanted to make herself feel at ease, but the prince's prestige resounded throughout the hall, and the reputation of dementia was spread on the Hundred Days Banquet. When he caught Zhou, he caught the same thing as the founding emperor Wudi. After his first birthday, he was sent to Fujian. He studied Buddhism at Baifo Temple and returned to Chang'an when he was three years old. Breaking it back, except for some lowly women who had to bind their feet in order to survive, the rest of the nobles and ordinary women were ashamed of footbinding...

Such a prince, even if he is only 12 years old, an ordinary person at this age, is just an ignorant and playful child.But in the prince's place, it is obvious that he can't treat it like this.

The eldest princess held the handkerchief closer. She thought that she might have to think about how to negotiate with the prince later, so that she could be the one in control.

However, when she arrived at a private room in the Guanguan Pavilion, the eldest princess saw the prince who was painting, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the other party first.

"Princess Jin'an." Lian Qiao saluted, then led the princess to a table, pointed to the things on the table, and said, "The prince said, let you take a look at these first. Wait for him to be Mr. Qing Huan." After finishing the painting, I will talk to you again."

Qing Huan was referring to the young lady who was getting older.

The eldest princess was slightly disgusted in her heart, but it was hard to say what was wrong with Tang Luojin, so she had to sit down, try her best to calm down, and look at the things on the table.

As a result, she just casually picked up the hard paper like a bookcase on the table, opened it, and was immediately stunned.

The death of the twelve princesses, the eldest princess really just didn't stop the fifth princess.If Tang Luojin threatened her with that matter, at most she would just be scolded.

However, the death of the twelve princesses has almost nothing to do with her, but what about the sixth and seventh princesses?

The sixth and seventh princesses disappeared on the day Tang Luojin officially returned to the palace in the tenth year of Tianyuan.

On that day, the Eldest Princess and the Fifth Princess were still practicing in the nunnery, so naturally they did not make a move.However, the eldest princess's concubine is still there.

In order to find a backer for her only daughter, the eldest princess, Concubine Qin Shu brought along the party members left behind from King Ping's rebellion, and selected Concubine Xiang and the eldest prince.Then as a "certificate of nomination", Concubine Qin Shu arranged for those people to make the sixth and seventh princesses sick when Tang Luojin was about to return to the palace.

The Sixth Princess and the Seventh Princess were the children born by the Empress one after another, and their bodies were weaker than ordinary children. At that time, the Queen's most thought was how to deal with Tang Luojin and the Fifth Princess who was suffering in the nunnery. The daughter she was expecting was not so important.As a matter of course, the queen, the birth mother, doesn't take her seriously anymore, and the palace people below will inevitably be lazy and not careful enough to take care of her.

Therefore, Concubine Qin Shu's people did this very quickly, causing the two little princesses to fall ill one after another when Tang Luojin returned to the palace, and even died together on the day Tang Luojin returned to the palace.

Concubine Qin Shu no longer had her natal family, and she was imprisoned in the cold palace again.The only thing in my heart is the future of the eldest princess.She knew that Emperor Tianyuan hated the fact that the Qin family colluded with King Ping, and that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager didn't like the Eldest Princess either, so she could only rely on the Eldest Prince and Concubine Xiang, hoping that with such a backing, the matter of the Eldest Princess' marriage would be settled in the future.

Because of all kinds of reasons, Concubine Qin Shu made a decisive move, killing the two little princesses.

The eldest princess knew all these things when Concubine Qin Shu handed over the remaining power of King Ping to her.

It's just that her hands trembled slightly, but she was thinking in her heart, Tang Luojin...how did he know these things?If he knew that Prince Ping's power was in her hands, then, would Tang Luojin have guessed that she was responsible for the three consecutive attacks on the paddock five years ago?

The eldest princess shook her hands and looked at the other things on the table, feeling a coldness in her heart.

It’s over.

This was the first thought in the princess' mind.

He knows it all.

Not only did he know, but he also brought all the evidence and showed it to her. It was obvious that he knew everything and understood everything.Calling her here was not to ask her for confirmation again, but... The eldest princess' eyes suddenly lit up.

If Tang Luojin wanted her to die, why bother to call her here again?Although she didn't know what Tang Luojin wanted her to do when she was called here, she obviously had no way out.

This is the Waiter's Hall, and it is also a place where Tang Luojin often comes.However, if Tang Luojin was able to come, outsiders could at most read a few non-painful notes and sigh "The prince is romantic", what else can he do?But if she doesn't agree to Tang Luojin's request, what awaits her is not only the exposure of these evidences, but also the fact that she came to the waiter's house this time will probably be spread.

The eldest princess couldn't help shivering.

Tang Luojin...he didn't leave her any retreat at all.

On the other side of the room, Tang Luojin finally put away the pen.

Qing Huan is now 27 or [-] years old.At this age, among young people, he is already considered old.Fortunately, since he was "nurtured" by the crown prince, apart from occasionally going on stage to play the piano and blow the flute, and to teach the younger generation, he has long since stopped receiving guests.

Qing Huan knew that his leisure today was all thanks to the little boy in front of him, so he would do whatever Tang Luojin said, without blinking his eyes.

Seeing that Tang Luojin had painted for him now, Qing Huan walked over to take a look, and then smiled: "I was thinking that if His Highness did not draw well, I would pretend to pretend that His Highness did a good job. Praise His Highness, but I didn't expect that His Highness's painting skills are getting better and better, and Qing Huan's paintings are even more beautiful than real people."

Qing Huan was lying halfway in the room, but in Tang Luojin's painting, the place was changed to under the peach blossom tree.

Peach petals all over the sky, half-clothed half-clothed drunk youths, and wine jugs lying on the ground, isn't it just a picture of a leisurely and lonely beauty?

Tang Luojin was also very satisfied with this painting.

He traveled through once, not only his memory improved, but he also learned those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting things much faster.Especially in terms of painting skills, Tang Luojin can always draw amazing paintings.

"You keep it." Tang Luojin said generously, "Qing Huan has worked very hard to take care of this place for Gu, Qing Huan just keep it."

Qing Huan was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "Since it was added by His Highness, Qing Huan accepted it because of his disrespect."

Tang Luojin nodded slightly, then cleaned her hands, and glanced at Qin who was standing aside.

Qing Huan walked over and started playing the piano, calm and leisurely.

Tang Luojin liked Qing Huan's piano the most, and after listening to it for a while, she walked inside, and happened to see the eldest princess trembling all over.

"Eldest Miss?"

The eldest princess was thinking about such and such things in her head, and when she was called by Tang Luojin, she turned around and saw that there were only people who served her on weekdays beside Tang Luojin, she gritted her teeth, her knees softened, and she knelt down Tang fell in front of Jin.

"Elder Sister, what is the meaning of this? Although Gu is the crown prince, Eldest Sister is also my Princess Datang, and she is still an orphaned Imperial Sister, so you don't have to be so ignorant." Tang Luojin knew why the Eldest Princess knelt down, but he Not urgent.What is urgent is the eldest princess.So he asked lightly, then sat down and picked up the things on the table and opened them leisurely.

The eldest princess could have knelt down in front of her younger brother who was six years younger than her, but she already lowered her face, and Tang Luojin was still pretending to know nothing, feeling annoyed and hated in her heart. He couldn't resist anything, so he had to open his mouth.

"Those things..." Although the eldest princess has a thick skin, she can only say at this moment, "Those things are the fault of my mother and concubine and me. We, mother and daughter, didn't know each other clearly in the past, and only regarded the eldest prince and mother as good people. He will protect me and promise me to a good family, that's why he did such things, harmed, killed the sixth and seventh imperial sisters, and caused the seventh imperial brother to be frightened several times in the paddock."

"A mistake is a mistake, and I have nothing to refute. However, the wrong things, the lives of the sixth and seventh sisters, and how the seventh brother punishes me are all useless to them." The eldest princess said, "However, if the seventh emperor is willing to give the emperor a chance, the emperor will not hesitate to go through fire and water in the future. I just ask the seventh emperor to spare me once, whether it is the people left behind by King Ping, or the lives of my mother and concubine. My husband's family will be handed over to Seventh Brother. If Seventh Brother says go east, I will not even look west! Seventh Brother and I are blood relatives after all, please Seventh Brother, we must Think about it carefully. My mother and concubine, it is not a pity to die. But what about the people left behind by King Ping? What about my husband's family? The Nine Emperor Brothers have the best family background, the Third Emperor Brother and the Eight Emperor Brothers are the only ones who follow the lead, and the mother and son of the Ten Emperor Brothers have taken refuge in the Nine Emperor Brothers' mother and son. In the court, although it is not obvious now, but the ministers in the court, no one would say a word of praise Brother Erhuang is gentle, upright and polite? Many ministers in the court are proud of being friends with Brother Erhuang. It’s nothing else. Brother Ninth Emperor is young and can’t see anything else, but Brother Erhuang is obviously already in the lead On the way to seize the crown with the Seventh Brother, is it true that the Seventh Brother really wants to fight with the other emperors and emperors only by relying on his father's favor and the power of the Ning family?"

Tang Luojin remained silent.

The eldest princess gritted her teeth and revealed a secret: "Seventh Brother, do you really think that the Ning family will really be controlled by the Seventh Brother? And the Queen, our Empress, she is really because of the Sixth and Seventh Younger Sisters. Did you start not liking the Seventh Brother because of his death? The Seventh Brother probably doesn’t know yet..."

The eldest princess was about to continue, when she suddenly raised her head, Tang Luojin's cold eyes fixed her on her.

"I don't know what?" Tang Luojin stared at the eldest princess, waved all the people around her to the outside, and then said slowly, "Could it be that the elder sister knows some secrets that I don't know?"

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, but she had already said this, and she had no choice but to speak.

"Back then, the Seventh Brother was only two or three months old. When something happened to the Ning family, the records of the Ning family in the court could almost pile up into a mountain. Because of this, the father no longer easily saw the Queen and the Seventh Brother. The Queen valued her natal family, so why was she not in a hurry? At that time, my mother and concubine and I were thinking about what the queen would come up with to win back father's favor and give the Ning family some more time. As a result... the news came that the seventh emperor's brother had a high fever. After a few days, Brother Seventh Emperor recovered from his illness and became dull."

The eldest princess bowed her head and said, "These things had nothing to do with our mother and daughter. But the concubine's mother and concubine's family were confused, colluded with King Heping, and were given death by father and emperor. But the queen turned her gun and said that the illness of the seventh emperor was caused by me. The mother and concubine were harmed. The conscience of heaven and earth, the seventh brother was still so young at that time, and the mother and concubine wanted to adopt Chen Baolin's child at that time, how could she do anything to the seventh brother at that time? But the queen said with certainty that seven The imperial brother's illness is the fault of the concubine mother. Because of this, the concubine mother was completely thrown into the cold palace."

"Although the mother and concubine entered the cold palace, there is no one in her hands. After entering the cold palace, after a few years of investigation, I found out that the seventh brother's illness was caused by the wholeheartedness of the seventh brother's biological mother, the empress." The eldest princess raised her eyes. Looking at Tang Luojin, "Outsiders only say that the queen dislikes the prince because of the death of the sixth or seventh emperor's sister. But our mother and daughter know that the queen has disliked the seventh emperor from the beginning. The seventh emperor may be I want our mother and daughter to die, but I have to say that the empress doesn't like the seventh emperor's younger brother."

The eldest princess couldn't guess more detailed things, but just these were enough for Tang Luojin to consider keeping her for a while longer.

"Forget it." Tang Luojin thought for a long time before saying, "Although the people left behind by King Ping have already taken refuge in others, those people think you don't know, and they often use you—"

"What?" The princess asked in amazement, "How is it possible?"

Tang Luojin shook her head, and said without answering: "Since that's the case, from now on, Elder Sister, if you obey Gu's orders, you won't be afraid of being tricked by those people."

What else can the eldest princess say?I can only reluctantly agree.

Then Tang Luojin arranged the first thing for her - to prevent the fifth princess from marrying into the Shen family.

"But the Shen family is the ancestral family of the fifth emperor's sister, and the Shen family has always been progressive. I think the queen mother doesn't like the Shen family, but looking at the men of the right age in the court, the Shen family is indeed worth considering." The eldest princess hesitated. If she wanted to refuse, she saw Tang Luojin's rare eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. The eldest princess was shocked, and immediately changed her words, "However, the queen mother has always favored the fifth emperor girl. I said more in the fifth emperor girl's ear, Fifth Imperial Sister should never want to marry the Shen family again."

"There is one more thing, Crown Princess and..." Tang Luojin paused, and finally swallowed the other person's name, and said, "If there is nothing wrong, let the fifth princess persuade me more, and don't embarrass the queen mother." she."

The eldest princess agreed not to mention it.

After a few days, the eldest princess really did it.

It's just that although the result was right, the process was not what the eldest princess and Tang Luojin wanted.

In order to hug the queen's thigh even tighter, the fifth princess refused to marry without hesitation on the spot when Concubine Xin went to Qingning Palace to marry her nephew, saying that even if she didn't marry, she would never marry the Shen family.

Concubine Xin's expression changed on the spot.

What was even more annoying was that the news that the fifth princess rejected the Shen family quickly spread from Qingning Palace.

The Shen family and Concubine Xin were laughed at by outsiders in private.

—Look, what's the use of having a princess in the palace?As stupid as it is, it's better than nothing.

Tang Luojin's face was dark for a few days, but it was not easy to do it at this time. The eldest princess knew about it, so she did it herself.

I don't know where I found someone who is good at divination, and I gave the fifth princess a different horoscope. Although I practiced in front of the Buddha for six years before the age of seven, the horoscope is still insufficient. When I am twenty, I will marry again.

Only then did Tang Luojin feel happier.

On the day when Jiang Hanyi and Ji got married, Tang Luojin prepared a gift, and went to report to Emperor Tianyuan openly.

Emperor Tianyuan took a look at the gift list, stared at his son for a while, and said, "Red bean bracelet? Pleated skirt with pomegranate blossoms? What a little Qi, who has grown up all of a sudden and knows that he is picking things to please girls .”

Tang Luojin: "..." He picked the red bean bracelet, and the rest has nothing to do with him.

But—looking up at Emperor Tianyuan, he knew that what he said was useless.

"Go, go, although you haven't grown up yet, the Crown Princess has already grown up. If Xiaoqi really likes it, then when you are thirteen next year, you can bring the Crown Princess in first." Emperor Tianyuan said, "There are also folks who get married at the age of twelve or thirteen. In your East Palace, you already have a Liangdi. It is not impossible to lift up the Crown Princess."

Moreover, the prince can officially enter the court only after he gets married and gets married.Otherwise, no edict shall not participate in political affairs.

Emperor Tianyuan felt that with his Xiaoqi's qualifications, he should have entered the imperial court a few years earlier.

"..." Tang Luojin said with a blank expression on his face, "It's only appropriate to marry a wife when you are fifteen years old."

Emperor Tianyuan immediately turned serious: "Master Zhishan said it?"

"Yeah." Tang Luojin agreed, thought for a while, and said, "Last night, Master Zhishan had a dream by accident and told his son to listen. So Father, please don't let your son get married too early."

Emperor Tianyuan: "..." To dream or something, do you think he is really a fool?

After being punished by Emperor Tianyuan for copying books, Tang Luojin came out of Zichen Palace and went to Jiang's house.

The Jiang family was originally a family for many years, and now there is a crown princess, so it is full of people and very lively.

Because the male guests and the female guests were separated, Tang Luojin was not too old or young, so she met Jiang Hanyi's grandmother among the female guests, and then went to the outer courtyard.

Passing a bridge on the way, there is a lake under the bridge, and the scenery is just right.

Of course, it would be even better if there was no woman who fell into the lake.

"His Royal Highness, do you want to be rescued?" Chang Channel said, "I'm afraid that someone knew that His Highness was going to pass by here, and deliberately made a trick, and wanted to use the method of 'promising with your body' to stick to Your Highness and slap the Jiang family in the face." on."

Tangluo Jinyuan thought the same way, but he just lowered his head and looked into the lake, and saw the woman who fell into the water was wearing a green dress, and she described her as a concubine Xin, and she was limping over not far away. The face of the incense burner suddenly changed.

"Save her!"
