The seventh princess insists on letting me eat soft rice

"Return to Your Majesty, I have no such intentions." Gao Jingxi didn't seem to be afraid, she raised her head slightly, her brows were full of rebelliousness, "The Sun Yaowei did not do anything wrong, if Your Majesty wants to punish, I will punish you." Just one person."

These sonorous and forceful words echoed in Chengqian Palace for a long time. The emperor was furious and his breathing fluctuated violently. He even wanted to throw all the things on the imperial table on Gao Jingxi, and then deprived her of the princess title.

But she can't, she can deal with the princes and princesses whose mother's family is weak at will, but although the queen's family has no real power, they are all literati who are doing verbal criticism.

Lian Liejin saw that the usually gentle and calm seventh princess contradicted the emperor for no reason.She suddenly became angry, and the words came to her lips, "Your Majesty, the assassin is actually me..."

Gao Jingxi didn't care about the disgrace in front of the palace, grabbed Lian Liejin and roared: "You don't have to excuse me, you will be punished if you make a mistake." She turned her head to look at the emperor, and said loudly: "Please mother Handle it fairly.”

Seeing Gao Jingxi's stubborn look, the emperor was even more furious. Is she saying that she, the emperor, abused lynching and dealt with things unfairly?

Lian Liejin saw Gao Jingxi's cryptic gesture telling her to back down, so he finally held back and stepped aside.

But He Cheng was deeply moved by Gao Jingxi's generous speech.She originally thought that the Seventh Princess would definitely blame Sun Yaowei for the escape of the assassin.After all, their Sun Yaowei didn't do much to save the son-in-law.

And the assassin escaped from Sun Yaowei's hands, logically speaking, Sun Yaowei should bear the main responsibility.

"Emperor Mother, it was the minister who asked you to lead the Sun Yaowei that day. Now that something happened, the emperor committed the same crime as the common people for breaking the law."

"Hehe, you sincerely apologize, and I agree. However, He Cheng should be severely punished for molesting Concubine Lian." Seeing Gao Jingxi about to speak again, the emperor suddenly felt a headache, "Forget it, let Dali Temple Go to trial."

Concubine Lian became dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, the concubine does not follow me, you have to make the decision for the concubine. Although Mr. He is full of blood and youthful vigor, it is a fact that he is disrespectful to the concubine, and you must not let it go lightly. "

The emperor only glanced at Concubine Lian, then told her to shut up, and then said: "Come here, since the seventh princess wants to bear the crime for the Sun Yaowei, she will be imprisoned in the Zhenxing Division and fined for one year."

Zhen Xing Division is the place where Lan Geng Kingdom specially punished the princes and grandchildren, even Lie Jin only knew about it, and didn't know anything else.Now that Gao Jingxi was arrested just like that, she panicked.

A few guards walked in from the main hall and took Gao Jingxi and He Cheng down.Lian Liejin hurriedly saluted the emperor, and chased after Gao Jingxi.

"Your Highness!"

The wind was strong outside the hall, Gao Jing looked back and saw Lian Lie Jin Qingjun's brows were full of anxiety, and his black hair was flying in the air, like warm jade in the snow, gathering the eternal brilliance.

"Your Highness," Lian Liejin rushed over and looked deeply at Gao Jingxi, "I...what can I do to save you?"

Gao Jingxi smiled helplessly, and helped Lian Liejin tidy up her hair crown again, with a soft light flowing in her eyes, "Then don't get angry with me, okay? When I go home, if you are still unhappy, I will Let me explain it to you one by one."

Hearing Gao Jingxi's voice, Lian Liejin's heart finally calmed down a lot. Although she felt reluctance in her heart, she nodded slowly, "Then how long will it take you to go home?"

"It won't be too long." Gao Jingxi took Mo Yu out of his arms and waved it in front of Lian Liejin's eyes, "Go back quickly, don't stay in the palace for a long time."

Ayou on the side was tearful, and almost burst into tears on the spot.

Watching Gao Jingxi leave, Lian Liejin felt apologetic, if she hadn't acted willfully, maybe His Highness wouldn't have to.

Just when her thoughts were surging, Concubine Lian's very sticky and sweet voice came from behind her, "Seventh son-in-law, why are you here alone? You know, the palace is a big kitchen, no matter where anyone hides their secrets They will be taken care of by a chef with a heart, like the cook who kills the cow, and will take care of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys."

Outside the hall, it was freezing cold.Concubine Lian was only wearing a white tulle, except for her high bun which was black, everything else was as pure white as snow.

"So what? Those who search for secrets will eventually die under secrets. Concubine Lian is too curious." Lian Liejin looked calm, as if he couldn't see the beauty that Concubine Lian deliberately showed off.

"Hehe, don't be so defensive. I just saw that your eyes are so similar to mine, and I have a little sense of intimacy." Concubine Lian came closer, "Speaking of which, your eyes are still the most like that portrait Beauty on the road."

Originally, Lian Liejin was extremely disgusted by Concubine Lian's intentional approach, but this woman seemed to have something to say, so she had to be patient and asked, "What portrait?"

"Of course it's the portrait in His Majesty's study, I've only seen it once." After saying this, Concubine Lian took small steps, Pingting gracefully left Chengqian Palace.

The wind and frost chilled Lian Liejin's eyebrows, she no longer hesitated, and asked Ah You to find the queen, and then she walked into the heavy snow in the palace alone, got on the horse outside the palace gate, and galloped towards the Duke of Yan's mansion go.

The Duke of Yan's mansion is at the southernmost part of Changyong City. It is said that the Lian family army led by Lian Liejin's father conquered the Thirteen Cities, defeated many with less, turned the world around, and defeated the country of Luozi.

The Lian family is full of loyalty and military exploits.

In order to reward meritorious ministers, the first emperor, in addition to rewarding titles, also personally selected such a good land and a good house as the mansion of the Duke of Yan.

To be honest, these descendants are just enjoying the legacy of their ancestors.

In front of the vermilion gate of Duke Yan's Mansion, there are two imposing stone lions.The word Lianfu on the plaque on the door is vigorous and majestic, and it was also mentioned by the late emperor himself.

The sky is getting darker and darker, since the beginning of winter in Changyong City, the snow hasn't stopped.Lian Liejin reined in the reins, stepped forward to knock on the door after dismounting.

After a while, a young man wearing a green and black cap poked his head out, "It's Miss San."

He hurriedly opened the door and shouted inside, "It's Miss San who's back, Miss San is back."

The butler in a thick fur coat hurried over from the side, holding a green bamboo pole in his hand, and greeted the young boy, "What are you shouting about, it's not proper at all."

Then the butler put on a cold face and asked lightly: "My son-in-law, what are your orders when you come here?"

Lian Liejin looked at the withered flowers and plants in the courtyard of the Lianfu, with an even more indifferent expression, "I'm here to find my father, is he at home?"

"Master, he went to the prime minister's mansion for a banquet today, and he might not come back in another hour or two." The butler said dryly, with an expressionless face, "My son-in-law, why don't you come into the mansion and wait for the master?"

Lian Liejin walked directly into the Duke's Mansion, and she immediately felt that the sky was getting darker, and the things that were still alive just now became lifeless.

"In the front yard, the flowers my mother planted, do you just let them wither like this?" Lian Liejin saw that the flowers and branches in the soil were scattered, which should be caused by negligent pruning.

"Master said that since the ex-wife has gone, let these flowers and plants fend for themselves, and follow their masters and do their best for their masters." The housekeeper looked at the flowers and plants with a half-smile, and casually called another servant, "Hurry up and take the son-in-law to the side hall."

"No need, I don't know the way." Lian Liejin waved his hand, walked west, walked through several long corridors, pushed open a dilapidated wooden door, and came to a small courtyard.

This is the small courtyard where she lived with her mother before she was five years old. There is a well in the center of the small courtyard, surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, but it has been left unattended for many years and has been buried by wind and snow. beautiful view.

In the past 13 years, she has not returned to this courtyard once, and even before getting married, she only lived in the inn.

There are only four or five bungalows in the small courtyard, the middle one is her and mother's bedroom, next to it is a simple small kitchen.

When her mother gave birth to her, she and her mother were regarded by the people in the house as monsters who could not use the power of the stars.Three meals a day, basic necessities of life can only be resolved by themselves.They only live in their own courtyard.

Even so, this small courtyard has never been peaceful for a few days.Because of his father's illusory love, not only could he not protect his wife and children, but it caused even greater suffering.

Lian Liejin paced back and forth in the courtyard, walked into the bedroom, and after observing it, her heart gradually calmed down, but she had to pay attention to the strange words said by the emperor and Concubine Lian today.

Whether her eyes resemble that of Concubine Lian is another matter, but they are indeed very similar to Niangqin.

Could it be that the emperor has something to do with his own mother?

Except for the old pillows and bedding, there are hardly any old things left in the room.Niangqin has always been such a carefree temperament, coming and going without much concern.

But is there really no worries?

Lian Liejin smiled knowingly, and took out a small cloth-headed tiger from the cotton wool of the pillow.Mother made this for her by herself, and when she was leaving, she kept it to accompany her instead.

"Third sister, what are you doing here?"

Lian Liejin was still immersed in the memories of her mother, when she heard a voice that made her uncomfortable.

Lian Pingyou was wearing a green and white jade robe, standing slim and graceful by the door, with a gentle and handsome appearance. "If you come here for the seventh princess's affairs, you can return to your concubine's mansion with peace of mind. I will take care of everything for Her Royal Highness Jing..."

"What do you mean?" Lian Liejin's eyes were icy cold, "How did you know that?"

"Hehe," Lian Pingyou glanced at Lian Liejin, and that look was full of ridicule, "Of course I know about the court affairs."

"Now you have no official position, what does Her Royal Highness have to do with you!"

Lian Ping smiled lightly, "Third sister, things in the court are changing rapidly. You don't understand, and it's normal. Her Highness the Princess and I will be officials in the same court in the future, so we will be her right-hand man. Besides, my star map It is the yin-yang chessboard, which is most suitable to be the princess' counselor."

"So what, what are you talking to me today to prove to me?"

Lian Pingyou took two steps forward and looked at Lian Liejin, "For you, I don't need to show off. I'm just telling you the truth. If you're not the daughter of Duke Yan's mansion, you don't have any chance at all. Her Royal Highness, she can say even one word."
