Taiping Inn

The so-called Zongrenfu, originally named Dazongzhengyuan, was later renamed Zongrenfu, which was in charge of the affairs of the royal clan, including the royal family roster, compiling jade books, recording the legitimate and illegitimate children of the clan, their names, titles, birth and death dates, marriages, posthumous titles, funerals, and also recording crimes and faults. There are three chief officials, namely: Zongrenling, Zuozongzheng, and Youzongzheng, all of whom are first-rank officials.

Today, the Zongrenling is held by the most powerful Prince Jin, the oldest Prince Yan is Zuozongzheng, and Princess Xuanzhen is behind them as Youzongzheng. It also roughly explains the status of Princess Xuanzhen in the clan, second only to Prince Jin, Prince Yan, and Prince Tang, and nominally higher than Prince Tang.

The status of the rest of the clan, including Prince Qin, Prince Liang, and Prince Shu, is far inferior to Princess Xuanzhen. Moreover, in terms of seniority, Prince Shu and Emperor Tianbao are of the same generation, which is lower than Princess Xuanzhen, who is of the same generation as Emperor Muzong.

After seeing the Grand Princess Xuanzhen, the King of Shu showed a respectful look and bowed slightly to greet her.

Grand Princess Xuanzhen said to Xu Shisan: "You go out first."

Xu Shisan obviously knew Grand Princess Xuanzhen for a long time. After respectfully accepting the order, he stepped forward and pulled Miss Song and left the attic.

In this way, only the King of Shu, Chu Zunliang, Nalanxu, Shangguan Wan, and Grand Princess Xuanzhen were left in the attic.

Grand Princess Xuanzhen looked at the King of Shu and frowned: "King of Shu, what's going on?"

The King of Shu felt that he had figured it out at this time. It turned out that the boss behind Songzhu Pavilion was not this Qixia County Lord, but Grand Princess Xuanzhen! No wonder a mere county lord dared to ignore him. It turned out that he relied on the power of Grand Princess Xuanzhen. Today, he was in the wrong. If he was not careful, he would be hated by Grand Princess Xuanzhen, which would be troublesome.

Shangguan Wan also roughly understood the cause and effect. The reason why she wanted to see Xu Shisan was to see the Grand Princess Xuanzhen through Xu Shisan. Unexpectedly, Xu Shisan directly invited the Grand Princess Xuanzhen to come. The two came to Songzhu Pavilion one after another, and this happened. From the outside, the Grand Princess Xuanzhen was the boss behind the Songzhu Pavilion.

Shangguan Wan couldn't help but think more deeply. Could it be that all this was deliberately arranged by Xu Shisan? If Xu Shisan hadn't planned it long ago, the Grand Princess Xuanzhen wouldn't have come so timely.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xu Shisan had a close relationship with Miss Zhu. Shangguan Wan didn't believe that Xu Shisan didn't know that the King of Shu would come to Songzhu Pavilion today. He deliberately set the date today so that he could use this incident to link Songzhu Pavilion with the Grand Princess Xuanzhen. Even if he was not in the Imperial Capital in the future, Miss Song, Miss Zhu and the Grand Princess Xuanzhen would be his backers, and ordinary people would not dare to provoke him. At the same time, it was logical to put her in touch with the Grand Princess Xuanzhen. To outsiders, it seemed that the Princess of Qixia County had known the Grand Princess Xuanzhen for a long time. After all, they were both from the royal family, and the Grand Princess Xuanzhen was the Right Clan Chief of the Imperial Clan House. Moreover, the age of Xu Wan in the Jade Book was not much different from that of the Grand Princess Xuanzhen, so it was reasonable that they had known each other for a long time.

Killing two birds with one stone, Xu Shisan!

After Shangguan Wan figured this out, he cursed Xu Shisan for being cunning. None of these Qi Wang's retainers were easy to deal with. They even included him, and he pretended to be nothing. He would definitely find a chance to get back at them in the future.

However, Shangguan Wan also knew the importance of things and would not point out Xu Shisan at this time. It was clearly the first time he met the Grand Princess Xuanzhen, but he still pretended to have known each other for a long time. He stepped back a few steps and lagged behind the Grand Princess Xuanzhen by half a body.

Seeing this, the King of Shu was more certain of his guess. He did not dare to attack Xu Wan anymore and took the initiative to explain: "It was a misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding. My nephew and the Princess of Qixia had a little conflict because of a misunderstanding."

The Grand Princess Xuanzhen looked at Chu Zunliang and Nalanxu and said softly: "You asked the two priests to help you because of your private affairs. This is an abuse of public resources. Just based on this, I can report to the clan leader and record it for you."

Just now, the King of Shu accused Shangguan Wan of a big hat, and now the Grand Princess Xuanzhen used the same method to treat him. The King of Shu had no choice but to say: "My nephew was wronged. I dare not ask the two priests to help me for my private affairs. It's just that my nephew invited the priest Chu to a banquet here and had a conflict with the Princess of Qixia. The priest Nalan happened to be nearby, so he rushed over to help. There was no abuse of public resources. Please understand, Grand Princess."

The Grand Princess Xuanzhen said nothing and just looked at the King of Shu.

The King of Shu took a deep breath and bowed his head and said, "The two priests can testify for me."

Nalanxu did not speak, Chu Zunliang said, "Grand Princess, I can testify that it is indeed as the King of Shu said, it is just a little misunderstanding."

Grand Princess Xuanzhen was silent for a moment and said, "I don't think you dare to do anything wrong."

The King of Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shangguan Wan, "It was a misunderstanding just now. It was my fault. I will hold a banquet to apologize to the county lady another day. I hope the county lady will not be stingy with the honor."

Shangguan Wan did not speak, but looked at Grand Princess Xuanzhen, as if she was following Grand Princess Xuanzhen's lead.

Grand Princess Xuanzhen said, "Let's talk about the matter another day."

The King of Shu immediately understood the hidden meaning, "My nephew will take his leave first."

Grand Princess Xuanzhen nodded.

The King of Shu left in embarrassment with the priest Chu Zunliang, and Nalanxu did not say much, retreated the same way, and left by boat. Although these great masters of the heavenly realm have surrendered to the imperial court, they still maintain a transcendent status and are not bound by conventional etiquette.

Shangguan Wan first glanced at the direction of the King of Shu leaving, then looked at Nalanxu's back, and thought to himself: "If you have a chance, you should fight it well and see what qualifications are you so arrogant, so Don't take others seriously."

After Nalanxu and her boat disappeared completely, Princess Xuanzhen whispered: "You are too bold in your actions."

Hearing the word "you", Shangguan Wan immediately understood that the eldest princess Xuanzhen also realized that something was wrong. She felt a little lucky that her future allies were a very reliable and smart person, but she still explained: "I was also that They have planned."

Princess Xuanzhen nodded with a very small amplitude and said, "It seems that Xu Shisan has taken his own initiative."

Shangguan Wan said, "I will find an opportunity to teach him a lesson."

Princess Xuanzhen was silent for a moment and said, "I haven't had a deep conversation with Xu Shisan."

Shangguan Wan interrogated: "The eldest princess can have a deep conversation with me."

Princess Xuanzhen said, "I'm very curious, who has sent 'Qingpingle'?"

Shangguan Guan’s heart moved, which pointed out that the Qingping Association was clear, and Xu Shisan was not a member of the Qingping Association. However, as the head of the sect, Shangguan Guan was still qualified to attend the Qingping Association and said directly: "Yu Meiren."

Princess Xuanzhen was silent for a moment, "You are one of the three new members. So that's it. So introduce yourself and Hanting Qiu."

Shangguan Guan immediately had an impression, and was secretly surprised that Li Xuandu's methods were perfect. Qingpinghui was indeed as he said, and most of the members had a good identity. At the same time, she was a little curious, why did Princess Xuanzhen join the Qingping Association? Is she not satisfied with the identity of a princess? What benefits did Li Xuandu promise her?

However, when we first met, we were not familiar with each other, and Shangguan Wan was not easy to ask each other.

There was a moment of silence between the two, and Princess Xuanzhen said, "Don't call me the eldest princess in the future, you can call me Yuying."

Shangguan Wan said, "My name is Xu Wan, and I can also call me Shangguan Wan."

Yuying was stunned and showed a look of surprise, "It turned out to be the famous Shangguan girl. I didn't expect you to join Mr. Qingping's command. So the rumors of Song Zheng's defeat have a lot to do with you?"

Shangguan Wan did not deny it, and made a default.

Yuying sighed, "Mr. Qingping is really a good and evil way, and he has his own people in the temple and the world. Before he arrived in the imperial capital, he has already caused a huge imperial court to be in a panic."

Yuying's feelings happened to be what Shangguan Guan thought, and she couldn't help but interrogate: "If he himself came to the imperial capital in person, wouldn't it be a world-changing?"

When the two women looked at each other, they felt a bit like a close friend.

Shangguan Wan said, "What are those so-called offerings?"

Yuying had no intention of hiding it and said bluntly: "The masters recruited by the court. They claimed to be from Kunlun Mountain. Is there an additional Kunlun Sect in this world?"

Yuying's words completely confirmed Shangguan Wan's speculation. She sighed, "It's not Kunlun Mountain, but the 'Xuandu Purple Palace'."
