After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

After returning to Chang'an City, Li Tan and Xiao Yansui separated naturally.

Because he walked a lot of mountain roads today, and because he really got some clues from Master Daojue that he had neglected in the past, Xiao Yansui's body was a little tired, but his spirit was always in a state of excitement.

After saying goodbye to Li Tan, Xiao Yansui put down the curtain of the carriage, shut himself in the silence of the room, rested his chin on one hand, leaned on the table with his elbow, and looked at the front with a little slack and unfocused eyes. direction.

She discussed with Li Tan all the way, and she probably got a little idea of ​​the reason why Princess Wan'an hated Li Linfu and Xiao Song, but she was still a little confused about why Princess Wan'an rejected becoming a female Taoist priest so much.

After all, with her status as a princess, being a monk in the Tang Dynasty as a female Taoist priest is actually not difficult, and she even has more freedom.

Xiao Yansui would understand if a young girl was afraid of her parents and rejected them, but Princess Wan'an was a monk and had always lived in the palace.

In addition, looking at her behavior and her personal relationship with Monk Daoyuan, it is obvious that Princess Wan'an does not restrict her character, and even, in Xiao Yansui's opinion, Princess Wan'an is far more playful than Xuanzong's own sister, Princess Yuzhen, and others were even more exaggerated.

--After all, among the guests of Princess Yuzhen, there are obviously Wang Wei, Li Bai and other characters. However, they first came into contact with Princess Yuzhen, in fact, because Princess Yuzhen also had the intention of recommending her.

The world has never lacked rumors about gifted scholars and beauties, and romantic anecdotes under the moon and moon. However, if it is a princess and a monk, especially a princess who is a monk and a female Taoist priest, and a young and famous eminent monk, these words will not be so pleasant. ...

Considering these, it is not difficult to conclude that Princess Wan'an has really not suffered much in these years.

Especially when Xiao Yansui almost had an accident, Xiao Song went straight up in front of Xuanzong. Princess Wan'an did such a crazy thing, but she was only grounded, and she let it go without hesitation.

The more she pondered, the more Xiao Yansui felt that there must be a reason for this--if she just became a monk and became a Taoist priest, Princess Wan'an should not have been aggrieved these years. Under normal circumstances, her resentment Emotions should not be so big.

Xiao Yansui can understand that a person hates because of love, but it's strange that she can hate so much when Princess Wan'an doesn't love anyone in the Xiao family.

Regarding Princess Wan'an, it was like a jigsaw puzzle that was about to be put together, but the most important piece of information was missing, which made all previous speculations shrouded in an impenetrable fog.

Xiao Yansui was still thinking wildly, when suddenly, the carriage stopped slowly, Axiu's voice came, and then she gently opened the curtain of the carriage - already home.

Still not stepping on the pedal, Xiao Yansui jumped from the carriage to the ground neatly and steadily. When she looked up, she saw a useful maid beside Pei's who was in a hurry and dared to come. Greeting with a smile: "Liu Niang is back."

Xiao Yansui nodded, and before the maidservant continued to speak, she asked, "Aniang is waiting for me?"

After finishing speaking, he continued: "I'll go back and change my clothes before I come. I happen to have dinner at A Niang's place."

The maid naturally responded immediately, with docile and drooping eyebrows, she quickly swept over the little weeds and leaves that Xiao Yansui's lower edge of her skirt was somewhat stained with because of her trekking in the mountains.

Xiao Yansui took Axiu and turned around to go to her own yard, and the maid immediately returned to Mrs. Pei, seeing Mrs. Pei was already waiting in front of the courtyard gate, she hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Liu Niang, go back and change clothes first." Yes, come over later."

Only then did Mrs. Pei finally feel relieved, but she blamed her in the mouth, "I said I went to the mountains to enjoy the maple leaves, but I finally didn't want to come back until the sky was getting dark and the sun was about to set."

The servant girl next to her said with a smile: "Don't worry, lady, it will take some time to walk out of the city. Liu Niang is home now, so she has to hurry a bit."

When the group returned to the house, the maidservant who went out to greet her just now whispered to Mrs. Pei: "Liu Niang is still in good spirits, but the maid looked at her, she must have walked some distance in the mountains, and her face was somewhat tired. .”

"This child..." After hearing this, Mrs. Pei couldn't help feeling distressed.

Obviously, according to Xiao Yansui's schedule, unless she got to the place where the maple leaves were admired, she just sat down and had a picnic, otherwise, Xiao Yansui must have gone to the mountains to play.It's not that Mrs. Pei refused to let her go, but she couldn't help but mutter in her heart, a little lady went to the mountains to play for a day, and she and Li Tan from the East Palace were alone, what's the point... …

Thinking of Li Tan in the East Palace, Pei frowned slightly.

——She herself has no opinion on Li Tan, but when she thinks of his background in the East Palace and Xiao Song's alienated attitude towards the East Palace before, she can't help but mutter in her heart.

No matter how much she pondered in her heart, Mrs. Pei knew in her heart that her daughter's interests and hobbies were somewhat different from those of other young ladies. Even though Li Tan was good-looking and had a good personality on weekdays, but At this moment, Xiao Yansui may not have any girlish feelings for Li Tan at the moment, she is just getting along with playmates who get along well.

However, his daughter is pure-minded, but Li Tan, or Dong Gong behind him, may not have such thoughts.

Not to mention the crown prince whose status has not been stable and who has always been interested in wooing Xu Guogong's mansion, he is a saint. If Xiao Song told him, I want to find my granddaughter from your grandchildren's Xiaolang. Husband-in-law, Xuanzong probably waved his hand, thinking about the countless grandsons in his family, he asked directly, which one do you like?

In particular, Li Chu, the eldest son of the prince with a relatively special status and status, is already married, and the age difference between him and Xiao Yansui is not small. Marrying a wife has little impact on the court situation, Xuanzong must be willing to let Xiao Song choose.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but praise in her heart, Xiao Song insisted on delaying Xiao Yansui's marriage ceremony until she was 20 years old.

In five years, people with too many other thoughts probably can't wait.

If you can wait, if nothing else, at least, this sincerity to the Xiao family and to Xiao Yansui's marriage proposal must be enough.

The only thing that makes Mrs. Pei a little uneasy is that in the past five years, there may be other variables.And, dragging on and on, the young man of the right age will inevitably have less and less choice...

Thinking about it this way, if five years later, the situation in the East Palace is stable, and Li Tan has always been like this, he is indeed a pretty good candidate.

And while Mrs. Pei was still thinking about her daughter's future marriage, Xiao Yansui, who had bathed and changed, came out of her yard and saw that the guard her grandfather Xiao Song had given her, We are waiting outside.

Xiao Yansui's heart twitched slightly. After even Axiu retreated, she walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
