The emperor's daughter Changping

"Zhou Xian, Minister of the Ministry of War, has made meritorious service in rescuing him. He is young and promising. The emperor appointed him as the crown prince's young master! This is my honor!"

The eunuch who announced the edict was reading the emperor's imperial edict, Zhou Xian and others knelt on the ground, thanking the emperor for his kindness.

The eunuch handed him the imperial decree, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhou, get ready and enter the palace tomorrow!"

Zhou Xian thanked him again and asked his servants to prepare some taels for him to accept, but the father-in-law refused.

He knelt down in front of Empress Zhou and the thirteen young people from Changping, and said, "Slave Wang Chengen sees your empress and the two princesses!"

It turned out that this person was the father-in-law Wang Chengen next to the emperor. Chang Ping saw that his face was still the same as six years ago, but his hair was much grayer, so he hurriedly ordered him to get up.

Wang Cheng'en said: "The servant has already prepared the phoenix chariot, and respectfully invites the empress and the princess back to the palace!"

Queen Zhou said that she was tired and followed Wang Cheng'en. Ah Jiu looked back and saw that in the hall, there were all acquaintances, including her master and wife, Qin Shaoqing, Chunhua Qiuyue, and Zhou Shixian.

She came to the side of Wei Qing and his wife and said: "Master and wife, can you enter the palace with Ah Jiu?"

Wei Qing and his wife shook their hands and said: "Ah Jiu, you know the temperament of master and wife, there are too many rules in the palace, so I won't go!"

Ajiu was a little disappointed and said: "But Ajiu is reluctant to part with Master and Mistress!"

Mrs. Wei smiled and said: "Silly boy, it's not like we will never see each other again. Don't worry, your master and I will come to see you when we have time."

Only then was Ah Jiu relieved, and said to Qin Shaoqing: "Young Qing, Ah Jiu has been taken care of by you these few days and has helped me a lot. Ah Jiu is very grateful. If Ah Jiu is of use in the future, Ah Jiu will definitely go all out." .”

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Qin Shaoqing Fushen, Qin Shaoqing hurriedly stopped her and said: "It is a great honor for Shaoqing to be able to help Her Royal Highness!"

Seeing him as when he first met, Chang Ping smiled brightly, brightly and gently, and said warmly in his heart: "No matter how you say it, I'm very glad to know you as a friend!"

Qin Shaoqing also smiled and said: "Ah... Her Royal Highness, and Shaoqing too, I hope to meet again in the future!"

He probably still wanted to call her Ah Jiu, but remembered that she was already a princess, so he said it temporarily.

Ah Jiu smiled and nodded, thinking in her heart that they will definitely meet again.

"Master Zhou..." Ah Jiu looked at Zhou Xian, and several people in the hall looked at her with reluctance, but only Zhou Xian lowered his head in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

He didn't look at her, and didn't say a word to her, Ah Jiu looked at his farewell words but didn't know what to say to him.

At this time, Zhou Xian said: "My servant respectfully sends Her Highness the Princess, I wish Her Highness a speedy well-being!"

"You...you take care!" My heart sank, and I almost couldn't stand up. Fortunately, Tao Hongying supported me, and it took me a long time to say take care.

"Get up and drive back to the palace!" A eunuch said in a sharp voice, sweeping the whisk away.

The team gradually drifted away, An Jianqing and others escorted Ah Jiu and others back to the palace, Wei Qing and his wife also left the Zhou mansion to go elsewhere, only Qin Shaoqing's master and servant stayed behind.

"Brother Yu, congratulations, you have been promoted to Prince Shao Fu!" Qin Shaoqing smiled while holding a cup of tea.

Zhou Xianzuo smiled, but his face was not happy. Qin Shaoqing was taken aback, and asked, "Why is Brother Yu so sad? Could it be that you have some unspeakable secret?"

Zhou Xian sighed and said: "Brother Jin Xian, you don't know that my father used to be a minister in the court, an official up to Shangshu, but he was upright and offended many dignitaries. Later, he was framed by others and almost died. I was dismissed after I was rescued, and now I am living in my hometown in Shanxi. His old man has always opposed me as an official, but now the world is in chaos, and it is time for the court to employ people. When he saw that I insisted, he said in advance that I should not enter the palace. , now that the Holy Majesty bestows the crown prince Shao Fu, why not enter the palace? How should I treat what my father said?"

Qin Shaoqing put down the teacup and said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be fulfilled. Uncle is also a person who has experienced it. The emperor's order cannot be violated. Shaoqing believes that he will understand you."

Zhou Xian said lightly: "I hope so!"

"Father, who did you send? That bitch is fine, and now she's back in a big way?" In the Forbidden City, in Kunning Palace, Concubine Tian Gui was loudly blaming her father, Tian Hongyu.

"Who knew that Princess Changping possesses martial arts and has a master with high martial arts skills. She is so fateful that she didn't fall to her death from such a high cliff." Tian Hongyu said.

"Didn't that ugly woman say that she is a master at poisoning? Why didn't she just poison them to death?" Concubine Tian Gui gasped, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, almost out of breath.

"Mother and concubine, calm down and take care of your body. The imperial physician said that you must not become angry because of your illness!" Said the young girl in orange palace attire.

She is exactly Tian Zhaoyang, who was at odds with Changping back then, and is now Princess Zhaoyang.

Tian Hongyu said: "The ugly woman said that she has given Princess Changping the 'five-day powder'. Even if she can't kill her for a while, it will also destroy her martial arts."

Concubine Tian's anger eased a little, but she saw a young eunuch rushing in, knelt down and said, "I would like to report to the imperial concubine, the empress dowager and all the concubines have already held a banquet in the Palace of Compassion and Waiting for the arrival of the empress dowager and Princess Changping."

"You dog slave, she's just a waste empress, what do you call empress?" Tian Zhaoyang said, slapping the little eunuch.

The little eunuch knew that he had said something wrong, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy, Concubine Tian Guifei said: "Okay, Zhaoyang, it's time, what are you fussing about with her!"

Then he asked the little eunuch: "I ask you, did your Majesty go there?"

The little eunuch replied: "The emperor is dealing with the government affairs, and the state affairs are busy, so he said that he will not come."

Concubine Tian Gui sneered, thinking that it seems that the emperor doesn't care too much about their mother and daughter!I haven't seen you in six years, so I forgot about it!Zhou Yufeng, this time I see you fighting me!

Instructed the little eunuch: "You go and tell the empress dowager, and say that the palace's old illness has relapsed and I'm not feeling well. Princess Zhaoyang is serving her left and right, so she can't go."

The little eunuch hastily obeyed and resigned.

In the Forbidden City, there are familiar memories along the way, thinking that he will be able to see his father in a while, Ah Jiu is looking forward to it.

After entering the palace, Wang Chengen invited them to get off the chariot and led them to a direction. Ah Jiu vaguely remembered that it was the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion.

After a while, he really arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and from a distance, he saw a white-haired old man touching his crutches, looking at them expectantly, followed by a group of women in various clothes, who presumably belonged to the emperor's father. The concubines, although their faces are somewhat familiar, can't remember how many.

However, Ah Jiu searched carefully, but the father Huang and younger brother Ci Hong whom he most expected to see were not among them.
