If yes

After the Anshi Rebellion, Luoyang, the eastern capital, is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and the newly renovated palaces are no longer as grand as they used to be.

However, the emperor is still the same, and the singing and dancing are still the same. No matter how turbulent the mountains and rivers are, as long as you step here, you can still hear the original neon clothes song, lingering endlessly.

"Father..." Prince Li Shi frowned, he couldn't watch the song and dance in front of him at all, he hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said, "Father, I have something to say..."

Emperor Li Yu waved his hand to signal the dancer to step down, squinting at the musician and servant on the right, "You all step down."

"promise."

Li Yu watched them all leave the hall, and the hall suddenly felt empty, "You want to ask me, why do you treat Yun Wanxiao like this?"

Li Shi nodded, "Father, General Yun...but he is one of our own."

Li Yu shook his head, stood up from the dragon chair, and walked to Li Shi, "It's not counted now." After finishing speaking, Li Yu patted Li Shi on the shoulder, "Huanger, do you know why I want to keep you ten years later?" Third uncle is in Chang'an?"

Li Shi shook his head, "Your minister is dull, please tell me clearly."

Li Yu took a deep breath and said, "The Shence Army is now in the hands of Yu Chaoen. It is really difficult for me to take back the military power by myself. There are too few people in the court who can rely on it. Your Thirteenth Uncle is uneasy again. Those who are separated are thinking about my dragon chair. He and Yu Chaoen are undoubtedly pinching my neck, making it difficult for me to sleep or eat!"

Li Shi was even more puzzled, and asked: "Since this is the case, why did the father push General Yun into the fire pit? General Yun is alone and alone. If something goes wrong, wouldn't the father lose another general?" ?”

Li Yu just smiled lightly, bent down and picked up the three-legged jug on the wine table, and said, "Chang'an is a den of dragons and tigers, but one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. I left your thirteenth uncle in Chang'an in order to form the three-legged jug. .”

Li Shi seemed to understand what his father meant, "Then this foot is the cloud..."

Li Yu nodded and said: "When your Thirteenth Uncle and Yu Chaoen are in a fight for power, Yun Wanxiao is the one they want to win over. If my guess is right, when Thirteenth Brother sees the situation in Chang'an clearly, he will definitely win over Yun Wan in advance Xiao, conspiring with Yu Chaoen to hold the military power of the Divine Strategy Army." As he spoke, Li Yu put down the three-legged jug with some pride, "Back then, it was the thirteenth brother who indirectly killed Yun Wanxiao's biological father. Based on this, Yun Wanxiao He's someone I can rest assured of, besides..." Li Yu hesitated for a moment, but didn't finish his sentence.

Li Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "My son thought you, father..."

"Guo Linggong and Wei Guogong are both old, and they are already my confidantes. If they come to seize power, they will definitely fail. Therefore, after the calculation of this matter, only Yun Wanxiao can share my worries. After Li Yu finished speaking, his eyes fell on the dragon chair, "This dragon chair has a strong fishy smell. Emperor, in order for you to sit firmly on this dragon chair in the future, Yun Wanxiao must make this chess piece to replace the dragon chair." I have completed this game of dark chess."

Li Shi was startled when he heard that, "If... If it's General Yun, he..."

"Yun Wanxiao's life has long been the life of my Li family. When the time is right, I should also marry Yun Wanxiao, so that I can be regarded as my own." After Li Yu finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Li Shi. , "I will put this throne in your hands safely and securely."

"Father wants General Yun to be a son-in-law?" Li Shi was slightly startled, but he felt happy in his heart. If his younger sister could marry such a hero, it would be a hundred times better than marrying the children of those dandy families.

"Consort?" Li Yu twirled his beard meaningfully, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Shi thought about his younger sisters of the right age, and after much deliberation, only one of them reached the marriageable age, and that was his fifth younger sister, Princess Huayang.

It's just a pity... a pity...

Li Yu said meaningfully and quietly: "Huayang has been in the temple for many years, and it's time to go back to Chang'an."

"But the imperial sister's health has never been good..."

"I don't want to allow her to give Yun Wanxiao, but I just want to let the wild wolves in Chang'an see that Yun Wanxiao may have a chance to join my Li Tang royal family. The more you can win over Yun Wanxiao, the faster this matter will be done."

"Father, you are sending the imperial sister into...to..."

Li Yu sighed, and said: "Now that things have happened, as a member of my Li Tang royal family, she should be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Besides, Chang'an has Wei Guogong and Yun Wanxiao to protect her, so she will be fine. "

Li Shi sighed worriedly, "But there are a lot of refugees along the way, it's not peaceful..."

Li Yu pondered for a moment, then asked suddenly: "Has Mr. Guo Ling returned to court?"

Li Shi nodded and said, "Mr. Ling is already on his way back."

"As long as Guo Linggong returns to Luoyang, it will be much safer here." After Li Yu finished speaking, he suddenly said seriously, "You help the emperor draw up an order, and order the servant Lu Chen to personally escort Huayang back to Chang'an." After thinking about it, Li Yu Yu added, "There should be more people to help Duke Wei, so that Lu Chen and his family can return to Chang'an from the Eastern Capital."

Li Shi took a deep breath and replied, "No."

In Chang'an, the night was quiet, but Duke Wei's mansion was extremely lively.

"I heard that General Yun is coming to our residence for a short stay?"

"That's right, I saw General Yun in the front hall just now, he looks really handsome..."

"Does your lord intend to match Miss and General Yun?"

"Shhh...be careful if the lady overhears you..."

"Actually, it's not bad for Miss to marry General Yun, it's better than marrying that brothel..."

"Ah! Miss!"

The whispering of the two servant girls was clearly heard by Du Qingqing who was passing by, and she walked up to the two servant girls with a cold face, and said harshly: "Is the front hall finished? Since you are so idle here Why don't you go and help in the kitchen instead of chewing your tongue?"

"Yes, yes, Miss, I'm going now!" The two servant girls hurriedly ran away with their heads down.

Du Qingqing gritted her teeth and said to herself: "Who wants to marry that sick child!" She rolled her eyes and thought of Huo Xiaoyu in the small courtyard. Now that Yun Wanxiao is also living in the residence, he and her can be said to be very close .

Du Qingqing sighed in disappointment, walked to the entrance of the other courtyard involuntarily, and looked in through the small corridor——

The moonlight is clear and the sky is full of stars, making this courtyard look extraordinarily quiet.

The blue tiles are green, the white walls are under the willows, and the snow clothes are vague. I just sit quietly on the stone bench and stare blankly at the bright moon in the sky.

Du Qingqing had never seen such a quiet Huo Xiaoyu before, just this one glance made Du Qingqing feel that Huo Xiaoyu was so beautiful, like a white jade Guanyin carved out of respectable jade.

Not one point more, not one point less, Du Qingqing couldn't help but praise her graceful figure, "It looks good."

"Miss Du?"

Zheng Jingchi's exclamation suddenly sounded behind him, which not only surprised Du Qingqing, but also caused Huo Xiaoyu from the other courtyard to look over here.

"Mrs. Huo." Du Qingqing nodded in embarrassment, but didn't know what to say next?

Zheng Jing held a positive image and said with a smile: "It's rare that Ms. Du still misses our mother and daughter. The front hall is really lively today."

"How could I forget Miss Huo... and Mrs. Huo?" Du Qingqing felt that her tongue was suddenly lost, and wanted to take another look at Huo Xiaoyu, only to realize that Huo Xiaoyu had come to her side.

Huo Xiaoyu called Zheng Jingchi with a smile, "Mother, it's so late, why are you here?"

Zheng Jingchi frowned, the smile on his face remained undiminished, but there was worry in his eyes, "Mother is here to discuss with you, now that Chang'an is safe, it's not good for us to stay here... "

Du Qingqing's complexion changed, "Are you leaving?" She stared at Huo Xiaoyu with startled eyes, thinking that she would be as shocked as she was, but she didn't expect that Huo Xiaoyu was as calm as before, not surprised at all.

"Mother, do you mean Huixiangying Xiaozhu?" Huo Xiaoyu asked quietly.

Zheng Jingchi didn't expect her daughter to have no objection, so she quickly smiled and said: "Well, after all, that's our home, if we live in the Duke's Mansion, I'm afraid that our mother and daughter will never be able to understand this kindness in this lifetime." .”

Huo Xiaoyu nodded and said with a smile: "Mother's words make sense, we really should go back earlier."

"You too..." Du Qingqing hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said, "Aren't you used to living in my house? General Yun is going to stay at my house for a while, isn't it a good time for you to stay here?"

Huo Xiaoyu shook her head and smiled, "It's precisely because she wants to stay here for a while that I want to go back to Xiangying Xiaozhu earlier."

"Why?" Du Qingqing didn't understand. In fact, thinking about it carefully, she really didn't guess Huo Xiaoyu's mind a few times.

Huo Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Which girl from a decent family would live like this?"

In fact, it was she who didn't want Mrs. Yun to think that Huo Xiaoyu was a prodigal son who loved vanity and would never leave after living in Duke Wei's mansion...

Zheng Jingchi was heartbroken when he heard it, "Xiaoyu, it's mother..."

"No wonder mother." Huo Xiaoyu shook his head quickly, looking far away in the direction of the front hall, "Mother, we will go back tomorrow morning."

"Okay... okay..." Zheng Jingchi nodded again and again, very happy, "Xiaoyu, you can figure it out, mother is really pleased. General Yun has been promoted now, and he is a person who cannot be provoked. My mother and I It's better to stay away."

Huo Xiaoyu asked with a smile: "Why do you hide from her?"

Zheng Jingchi sighed: "Xiaoyu, didn't you hear what the neighbors are talking about? General Yun has done a great job this time, maybe the emperor will give him a marriage, and then he will become a member of the royal family. We common people can climb high?"

"Really?" Huo Xiaoyu's eyes darkened, feeling a little disappointed, "So, General Yun is going to be a son-in-law most likely?"

Du Qingqing had all sorts of feelings in her heart, and she didn't know whether to persuade her or not. This king's heart is unpredictable, and no one knows whether the next moment will be honor or misfortune?

"Miss, so you are here, adults are looking for you everywhere!" The servant girl hurried over and bowed to Du Qingqing.

"They are drinking and drinking, what do you want me to do?"

"My lord didn't explain it, but he said he wanted the lady to go over."

Du Qingqing sighed, and could only reluctantly say to Huo Xiaoyu, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Huo Xiaoyu watched Du Qingqing and the servant girl go away, and suddenly asked Zheng Jingchi quietly, "Mother, if Daddy didn't leave so fast back then, would I also be a princess?"

She was originally born in a golden branch and a jade leaf, but now she is born in a brothel that the world despises...

"Xiaoyu..." Zheng Jingchi choked up for a while, not daring to answer Huo Xiaoyu's words.

If... If the prince was alive back then, maybe today would not be like this...

Huo Xiaoyu chuckled dejectedly, and put his arms around Zheng Jingchi's shoulders, "Mother, it's getting late, and we should go to bed early. Tomorrow morning will be like saying goodbye to Mrs. Du, and go home early."

"Yeah." Zheng Jingchi nodded, "Then mother is going back to rest first."

Huo Xiaoyu also nodded, "Well, I'm also planning to go back and rest."
