auspicious time has come

Winter snow melts, spring arrives.

Old branches sprout new buds, and young leaves are vigorously stretched. When the green is thick, there will be summer cicadas hiding among them, singing tirelessly.

At the beginning of July, there was a heavy rain, which added to the coolness overnight.

So far, it has been more than a year and a half since Shi Jingzhi led troops to the Western Regions under the order.

……

The tall young man was wearing armor, and the armor was covered with night, and dismounted in front of the military tent.

"General!"

"The general is back!"

The soldiers saluted one after another, their movements were serious, but there were many smiles on their faces.

Shi Jingzhi nodded to them, and led Meng Dazhu into the commander's tent.

Not long after, Yan Ming, who had just changed the medicine for Shi Jingzhi, saw a soldier quickly approaching the tent, stopped him first, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Military doctor Yan, someone outside the camp is begging to see the general!"

"Military newspaper?"

The soldier thought for a while, then shook his head: "No."

"Then I won't see you." Yan Ming frowned and said, "What time is it, he has to recuperate now."

For more than a year, he hadn't seen anyone spend a good day in the tent!
This battle is finally over, and it's time for people to rest——

Otherwise, when he returned to the capital, he would not look like a human being, not only would he not be able to explain to the princess, but he would also be unable to please his "father-in-law", not to mention that there would be someone who sent letters "greetings" from time to time. "He's a saint!"

"But..." The soldier looked around, then lowered his voice and said: "But there is a lady among the people who came, and the driver of that lady even took out the general's Jiedushi token!"

Order of Jiedu?

Yan Ming was stunned.

"Although that lady was sitting in the car, she looked at her faintly. She was very handsome... and there was a girl in her teens, Doctor Yan, do you think they are...?" The soldier glanced Dazhang looked nervous and curious.

Although knowing too much is not a good thing, but... what I love is the blood-licking gossip on the tip of the knife!
That piece of Jiedu envoy is an old thing from when the general was still in Yingzhou!

Could it be that it was the romantic debt left by the general in his early years... the illegitimate daughters are so old? !
A beautiful outer room with a daughter chasing her husband thousands of miles away!

But in this way, how will the general explain to the princess!
This, hey!
The soldier's expression gradually became worried and embarrassed.

"I'll go and have a look." Yan Ming quickly walked outside the camp.

The soldiers hurried to catch up—doctor Yan is going to send the "mother and daughter" away for the general?
When Yan Ming arrived, Heng Yu had just got off the carriage.

The soldier really saw that face clearly, and couldn't help but be taken aback—just now this lady was sitting in the car and couldn't see it very clearly, just looking at it like this...how does she look like she's in her twenties?
Looking at the ten-year-old girl again, the soldier couldn't help but realize that the speculation just now was somewhat untenable.

At this time, I saw that Yan Junyi had already raised his hand to salute——

"Meet the princess, princess."

Soldier:"?!"

"I haven't seen Doctor Yan for a long time."

"Why did the princess come here?"

Heng Yu walked over with Jiayi with a smile, and looked at the lights of the barracks behind Yan Ming: "I heard that the battle is about to be settled, so I stopped by to have a look—is he in the camp?"

Yan Ming smiled: "Princess, please come with me."

Jiayi followed Hengyu and walked into the barracks, looking around curiously.

There are also countless pairs of more curious eyes falling on them around them.

"Wang... princess?!"

The burly man walking towards him recognized Hengyu and saluted in surprise.

Heng Yu smiled and stopped: "Vice General Zhou."

"The princess still remembers her subordinates!" Vice General Zhou was flattered, and hurriedly said to his subordinates beside him: "Quick, the princess is here, let someone kill something!"

Jiayi was surprised—what to kill?
"Don't be afraid! It's killing sheep, killing sheep!" Deputy Zhou, who had never seen Jiayi, laughed "haha", led the way, and followed Heng Yu to the coach's tent.

Soon, the news of the princess's arrival spread.

"Why is it so noisy?" Hearing the movement outside the tent, Meng Dazhu said: "We have won several battles, but we are so overwhelmed with complacency."

After speaking, he went to check outside the account.

However, the movement outside the tent soon became noisier.

The noise was mixed with joy.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Su, who was sitting next to Yan Junshi on the left and right, looked out of the tent in puzzlement.

Shi Jingzhi also looked up.

The next moment, the curtain was raised.

A figure wearing a sandalwood cloak suddenly appeared in his sight.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Shi Jingzhi stood up abruptly: "Ah Heng!"

Heng Yu smiled at him, then looked at Junjun Yan and Mr. Su: "Did you disturb your discussion?"

"It turns out that Mrs. Ji has arrived!" Mr. Su got up with a "ah" and was very pleasantly surprised: "I said, why is it so lively outside!"

Shi Jingzhi had already walked over from behind the case, and came to Hengyu, with a smile in his eyes: "Since you have come to the Western Regions, why don't you send a letter in advance? Can the journey be smooth?"

Heng Yu looked at him with a smile, and didn't answer his words immediately, but looked at Jia Yi who walked in behind.

Shi Jingzhi followed her gaze, his face returned to normal, and he raised his hand in salute: "Princess."

Jiayi hurriedly returned the gift, calling him "Uncle Shi Shi".

Others in the tent also saluted Jiayi one after another, making her feel uncomfortable, and said embarrassingly: "You are all heroic elders who have fought against the enemy in the Western Regions for a long time, regardless of your life and safety, so Jiayi should be ashamed to accept it—"

As he said that, he took a step closer to Hengyu's side, and said in a sincere tone: "I came with the teacher this time, and I don't intend to disturb the army. Please don't stick to etiquette, let alone worry about Jiayi."

Looking at the eldest daughter of the emperor who was young but not a bit extravagant and arrogant, Junjun Yan and the others all smiled and nodded.

Sensing that a finger touched her hand, Heng Yu held it, and raised her eyes to meet a pair of smiling brows.

……

Because of Hengyu's sudden arrival, the atmosphere in the barracks was high.

Soldiers slaughtered sheep, roasted meat and made soup, a bonfire was lit, and Heng Yu and Shi Jingzhi drank and had fun with the soldiers.

Mr. Su was in a good mood and began to recite poems.

"...You guys, let's cheer up the princess!" The deputy general surnamed Zhou ordered a few capable subordinates to perform "talent".

Some danced with knives, some with guns, some with fists and feet, and they worked very hard.

Hengyu was also very supportive, clapping his hands with Jiayi and applauding.

Shi Jingzhi took a sip of his wine and glanced at her: "Can you dance well with me?"

Heng Yu blinked: "Then why don't you dance?"

Seeing that he was really about to raise his sword, Yan Ming at the side immediately pushed him down: "You are injured, why are you dancing!"

Winners and losers need to be divided into situations, okay!

"Are you injured?" Heng Yu smiled, and immediately snatched the jug out of his hand: "Then what else do you drink? Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

"It's right on the chest, almost hurting the heart!" Mentioning this, Yan Ming began to chatter endlessly: "When changing the dressing every day, it's all about luck, and you can't even see the shadow of a person! It will be fine when the princess comes, and I am now Return him to the concubine, and if anything goes wrong, it has nothing to do with me!"

Shi Jingzhi didn't interrupt his words, and heard him talk about his injury like an exaggeration, he just felt that it was different from the usual pleasantness.

Heng Yu wished he could immediately drag him back to the tent and strip off his robe to check his injuries.

Half an hour later, she did indeed do so.

At first she felt that the injury was indeed serious——

Afterwards, she felt that the injury was still too light...

……

……

Unlike the lively atmosphere in the Shi family's barracks, the Tubo army, which had been defeated for several months, was already demoralized.

Shi Jingzhi once again personally led the army to pursue the victory. After several days of fighting, the Tubo army lost tens of thousands, retreated steadily, and the fortress in the back was also cut off.

……

"Tubo has surrendered!"

"The General of Time has won!"

The good news spread throughout the cities and counties of the Western Regions, and the common people rushed to celebrate.

……

The desert has no end in sight, and the horseshoes are galloping, raising sand and dust.

Heng Yu and Shi Jingzhi rode their horses in front, Meng Dazhu and Cheng Ping protected Jiayi and followed behind.

"This is the desert!"

After dismounting, Jiayi held the rein with amazed eyes.

The boundless desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and a round of golden sun is about to set.

Hengyu and Shi Jingzhi walked side by side leading the horse, walking forward slowly.

……

The news of the great victory in the Battle of the Western Regions soon spread back to the capital.

In the early court, Emperor Guan Ning looked very happy, but he couldn't help but sighed: "There are many grasslands and highlands in Hehuang in the Western Region, and there is always a long-distance march, circuitous raids, and difficult steps... This is really a hard battle."

"It's really not easy to win this time."

"When Jingzhi comes back, I will definitely reward him and all the soldiers!"

While all the officials agree, they have their own concerns about King Fan Yang's great contribution again, but it is undeniable that this battle can be won, which is really exciting.

The common people are also very excited about this.

In the eager anticipation of the people in the capital, the triumphant division finally returned to Beijing on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The common people lined up to greet each other.

"The Shi Family Army is back!"

An old man nodded with tears in his eyes: "Yes, Shi Jiajun is back..."

"Has Weng thought of Duke Shu?" The young man beside the old man was also touched.

However, at the next moment, I saw my own A Weng let out a "hey" and stretched his head to look at the young general in charge. The grief was swept away on his face: "No, who is the girl riding a horse next to General Shi!"

As he said that, his eyes were shocked, and he said in a shocked voice: "...Could it be like in the story book, the general went out to fight, and when he returned to Beijing, he brought back a lonely woman who lost her family in the war. Yes……"

"Ah Weng..." The young man helplessly interrupted the old man: "Look carefully, isn't that Scholar Ji?"

"Scholar Ji?" The old man took a closer look again and heaved a sigh of relief: "Oh, oh...ah, it's all right."

The mansion of King Fan Yang in the capital is very lively at the moment.

In addition to Madam Xiao, everyone from the Ji family, Jiang Zhengfu, Doctor Bai, etc. were also waiting here.

This battle lasted for two full years, and Heng Yu traveled with Jiayi for a year and a half. This time, the two returned home safely, and when they stepped into the gate of the palace, they were immediately surrounded.

"It's back!"

"Ah Heng, come and tell me to take a look... Take this hand stove!"

"Little aunt, little aunt!"

"How did you lose weight?"

"This battle is really not easy..."

"Quick, go in and talk!"

"..."

Amidst the laughter, Heng Yu and Shi Jingzhi were almost pushed into the hall.

……

Emperor Guanning paced back and forth in Ganlu Hall, and would ask his servant from time to time: "Have you come?"

The queen on the side laughed and sighed: "Your Majesty is too anxious. King Fan Yang has been away for a long time, and he has to go home first to meet the two elders. After washing the dust and changing clothes, he will come to meet His Majesty."

"Yes, human nature, within the rules..." The young emperor nodded, and finally sat down. After a while, he got up again——

Sighing heavily: "I originally said that I would go outside the city to greet her in person, but you all disagree!"

The queen became more and more helpless: "Your Majesty's wind and cold are so severe, and he was so happy that he almost didn't close his eyes last night, how can it be suitable to go out of the palace?"

Sitting on the couch beside her, Jiayi coaxed her younger sister to play with the Luban lock, and sighed: "Father is actually the most annoying one now."

She also came back with the army, but left when approaching the capital, and returned to the palace two days earlier.

The emperor laughed and sighed when he heard the words: "We, Yi'er, went out to increase our knowledge, and we actually despise the father."

Saying that, he sat back again: "Waiting is waiting, why don't you tell Father about what you have seen and heard over the past year—"

The queen looked at the eldest daughter who was becoming more and more calm in words and deeds, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

They are so smart—choose the best teacher for themselves.

……

King Fan Yang returned to the capital for a few days, so there are many awards and rewards needless to mention, and every morning after the court, the emperor would inevitably stop him and stay in the palace for dinner.

According to the servant who sent the message, King Fan Yang refused on the first day.

On the second day, His Majesty was reminded by the princess and thought of a good idea.

"Your Majesty invites the prince to go to the Ganlu Palace for lunch—"

"Trouble reporting back to Your Majesty, let me tell you——"

The servant went on to say, "Scholar Ji is also here."

"...by the way, this king will go here."

Therefore, Hengyu spent seven or eight days in the Ganlu Hall for lunch.

It was snowing that day, and after the meal, the emperor stayed while Jingzhi was talking, and Heng Yu was dragged by Jiayi to the study of Ganlu Hall to enjoy the plum scenery in the snow.

"Teacher, look, isn't this plum tree very different, quite majestic?" Jiayi pointed to Xuemei outside the window and asked Hengyu.

Heng Yu looked over, distracted for a moment.

She had never been here before.

But a long time ago, she had heard another person mention it with a smile and admiration—there was an old plum tree outside the study of Ganlu Hall, which was extremely graceful.

The heavy snow rustled like goose feathers.

"My lady... the snow is getting heavier, go back to the room."

In Xiaoye Temple, a blue-gray figure stood under the corridor, his eyes were fixed, and he didn't know where he was looking.

The cloak covered her crippled arm on one side, her figure weakened like a withered plant, but there seemed to be endless flames burning in her eyes.

"...He's back, isn't he?"

"Yes." Qi Zhen answered in a low voice behind her: "Prince Fan Yang has returned after a great victory... The Western Regions have been settled, and the war in Nanzhao has also subsided."

The skinny figure let out a low and piercing laugh.

"It's really..." The voice gritted its teeth slightly and said, "Good luck."

"Do you think that even the heavens are partial to them?" She raised her eyes, staring at the blue-gray sky with endless snowfall: "Why are all the good things and good luck taken away by them? Where is the difference in my palace! I have the ability to quell the war, but why do you never give me a chance! Is it just because I was born a daughter!"

"Heaven and earth are pregnant with men and women, so why is it so unfair!"

"The same surname is Li, the emperor's brother is stupid and incompetent, Chang'er is kind-hearted and soft-hearted... and I have never had a weakness, so where did I lose!"

She asked loudly, and suddenly coughed loudly.

Qi Zhen hurriedly helped him up: "My lady..."

"Tell me, tell me...why is God so unfair? Just because of the difference between men and women...do you want to obliterate all my efforts!"

"..."

Snow kept falling.

"...You have been back to Beijing for more than ten days, and I have only seen you twice!"

As soon as Heng Yu left the Ganlu Hall, he was stopped by Pei Wushuang.

"You are really a busy person now." Pei Wushuang took Heng Yu's hand, his tone was reproachful, but his eyes were always smiling.

"I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, and there are many things in the Chongwen Museum that need to be taken care of." Heng Yu smiled and said, "Why don't you follow me to the Chongwen Museum to listen to lectures?"

"Then how can it be... I am a concubine in the harem, how can I go to the Chongwen Hall." Pei Wushuang shook his head: "Let those censors know, it's time to point out again."

"It's just a quarrel at most, they can't quarrel with me anyway." Heng Yu's tone was indifferent, but he also felt the change in his friend.

Even though the emperor and empress are benevolent, in this deep palace, how can they really be unrestrained.

"Forget it, forget it, it won't work, as a person like me, I will doze off when I hear those words.

Ah Heng, you don't know that I was late the day before yesterday when I greeted the queen, but they made a good joke of me. "

"I finally understand why women in the palace are so prone to tit-for-tat since ancient times, and they can't sleep well all day long. It's because everyone is angry about getting up."

"...Little princess Jia'an is so cute, I want to steal her to my Qingyu Xuan to raise her...Shhh, you can't say that!"

"Aheng, where have you been this past year?"

"Have you passed Jiangnan?"

Still as talkative as ever.

But...it must be lonely, right?
Heng Yu took her friend's arm, answered her words, and walked as slowly as possible, and more slowly.

……

Two days later, Pei Wushuang and the empress greeted each other and returned to Qing Yuxuan, almost jumping up for joy.

"The empress has granted me special permission to go out of the palace and visit at home on the Lunar New Year's Day!"

The personal maid who entered the palace with her was also very happy.

Concubines are usually not allowed to leave the palace, let alone meet with their family members in private. Since they entered the palace two years ago, they have never stepped out of the palace gate.

Looking at Pei Jieyu who was overjoyed at finally seeing her parents, the maid smiled and her eyes felt a little sore for no reason.

……

Soon came the day when the yamen were sealed.

When the last morning of the year was about to leave, the emperor asked his servants to hand over an "experience theory" to the hands of all the officials: "I occasionally got a student's theory, which is quite interesting to read. Appreciate the comments."

All officials should come down.

Therefore, this "knowledge theory" seems to have become a "topic" for officials during the New Year's Day.

Some people tasted it carefully, some tried to figure out the Sacred Heart, and some military generals who were not very proficient in writing were confused and simply put it aside.

Naturally, Shi Jingzhi also got this argument—well, he was the one who left it aside.

After all, it has already been seen in advance.

When Hengyu returned to Ji's house that day, he heard his elder brother full of praise for the "Experience and Hearing Theory", "...the vision and aura are well prepared, and I don't know who wrote it? I read Xingqi last night. I really want to meet him!"

Heng Yu smiled: "I think brother will have a chance sooner or later."

Ji Nanxian didn't delve into the meaning of his sister's words, looked behind her, and asked curiously: "Why, that one from your family didn't come with you today?"

"He was left in the palace to play chess with the saint, and he couldn't escape for a while."

This is true, especially the second half of the sentence——

When Shi Jingzhi left the palace, it was almost dusk, and he rushed back to the palace. When he heard that Heng Yu had gone to Ji's house, he hurried over. Mouth dishes.

Hearing the servants come to report "Young master is here", everyone put down their chopsticks one after another, Heng Yu used chopsticks to tidy up the dishes she picked up just now, and nodded in satisfaction.

When Shi Jingzhi came in, she calmly said: "I knew you would come, I didn't move my chopsticks, I was waiting for you!"

Mrs. Meng Lao Ji Nanxian and others also smiled and nodded tacitly.

Shi Jingzhi pretended not to see the oil stain on the corner of her lips, accepted the face of being sent to the door, and sat down beside her.

"Who loses and who wins?" Heng Yu asked him casually.

Shi Jingzhi picked up the chopsticks and said, "The saint lost three games in a row."

Heng Yu was surprised: "Why do you have such a strong desire to win?"

"If not, he can't let me out of the palace."

"..." Heng Yu nodded: "That's true."

"Eat fish." Shi Jingzhi first added a piece of thornless tender meat from the belly of the fish and sent it to her plate.

As soon as Heng Yu picked it up and brought it to his mouth, he felt that it was too fishy, ​​but he didn't want to disappoint his kindness, but as soon as he swallowed it, he felt his stomach churn.

She frowned and turned her head away.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly asked.

"What happened to Ah Heng?"

"Master Bai is not at home, first go outside and invite a doctor to come and have a look—"

Ning Yu said: "It looks like you caught a cold?"

Yu Shi stood up abruptly: "!"

This situation, this configuration, how could it be a cold!
Usually, it's definitely—

"Ah Heng is pregnant!" the sister-in-law enthusiastically guessed.

There was silence.

"Aheng..." Shi Jingzhi looked at Hengyu, asking nervously.

Heng Yu was also taken aback, counting the days carefully, her heart skipped a few beats.

"What are you waiting for, invite the doctor quickly." Mrs. Meng urged.

……

An hour later, seeing a doctor being sent out of the gate of Ji's house, Doctor Bai frowned when he just came back from outside - he has only been out for half a day, and someone wants to shake his position?

Can't it be some kind of emergency?

Thinking in this way, he walked quickly to the front hall, just as everyone was happily making plans for the future——

"What you said is secondary... If you want me to say, the most urgent thing right now is to tell Aunt Xiao about Ah Heng's happiness as soon as possible!" Ji Nanxian said with a smile.

"What? I'm happy!"

Doctor Bai's expression was shocked, and he rushed into the hall quickly, looking at Hengyu who was surrounded by everyone sitting in a chair, he couldn't help but patted his forehead regretfully - he didn't make such a big prize with his own hands!
If he had known this earlier, no matter how delicious Lao Yan's wine was, he would never have been able to go out! !
……

This New Year's Eve, Mrs. Xiao had "Double Happiness Coming" written all over her face, she couldn't help smiling in front of people during the day, but at night, she would laugh out loud from time to time.

When facing his daughter-in-law, he naturally greeted her in every possible way and cared for her.

When facing his son, he naturally taught his son how to greet his daughter-in-law and how to show concern for his daughter-in-law.

……

Hengyu and Shi Jingzhi have been married for more than two years, this child seems to have come too late.

But for the two of them, it was just right.

Only when the war in the Western Regions is settled can the road to stability be truly opened.

In the evening, the husband and wife returned to the mansion from the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, sat in the room facing the lights, Heng Yu leaned on Shi Jingzhi's shoulder, and heard him ask for countless times: "What do you want to eat?"

Hengyu's appetite has been poor recently, so he asked her differently: "Squab pigeon soup? Or shredded chicken and white fungus? Don't worry about digesting it if you eat it at night."

"Xiao Jingshi, you must have reported all the dishes in your life recently, right?" Heng Yu closed his eyes and smiled, "I don't want to eat anything, I just want to talk."

She had just said something about the academy, and now she brought up some rumors she heard recently: "I heard that some officials are secretly discussing to let the sage adopt an heir from the clan as the reserve?"

It has been the fourth year since the saint ascended the throne, and there is no prince yet.

"There are one or two idlers." Shi Jingzhi rested his chin lightly on the top of her head, "But before it took shape, he was reprimanded by the officials of the Ministry of Education. The saint is still young, and it is too early to talk about the adoption."

"But it is indeed time to think about setting up a crown prince, right?" Heng Yu suddenly looked up at him.

Shi Jingzhi raised his eyebrows: "Look at what I do, when it comes to trying to figure out the Sacred Heart, you are the best—"

Heng Yu blinked: "According to this, I did guess right?"

Shi Jingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her with a smile: "Well...it should be clear soon."

……

At this moment, Pei Wushuang was eating braised pork.

"Look at how our Shuang'er has been spoiled... I heard that the servants in the palace are the ones who watch people order dishes the most. Could it be that our Shuang'er has been treated harshly?"

Dou's eyes were full of worry and distressed.

She and her husband Pei Ding only had this one daughter, so they raised them so indulgently... But who would have thought that the daughter who was raised by them would end up within the palace walls.

"That's not true, it's just that I miss A Niang's craftsmanship." Pei Wushuang grinned, and put another piece of meat into his mouth.

After eating to his heart's content, Pei Wushuang put down his chopsticks and looked at Pei Ding who was sitting there: "Why doesn't father talk? Why, it's because my daughter failed to compete for favor and make a name for herself in the palace. Disappointed?"

Pei Ding sighed, then looked at his daughter, and said in a complex and guilty tone: "Father, this is... I feel ashamed to see you."

"It's father and the clan that dragged you down..."

As Pei Ding spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn red: "We Shuang'er, we should be free, even if we continue to run after that monk, it's good, at least..."

Dou's eyes interrupted her husband's words.

The smile on Pei Wushuang's face froze for a moment, and then returned to normal: "I made the decision myself. What a drag. Didn't my father always say that he expected me to climb the dragon and the phoenix? Isn't this just the way to go?" Your wish?"

"Then..." Pei Ding choked, staring and said: "Then you said that you are not such a material, you must ruin your father's job!"

"Then you still said that people always have to grow up, and I'm just growing up now."

"..." Pei Ding was silent for a while, and said, "Father would rather you never grow up."

Dou's eyes were sore and swollen, so he had to turn his head slightly.

Pei Wushuang pretended not to notice the strangeness of his mother, leaned close to his father, smiled and took his arm: "I won't mention the past, why don't you tell me about the current situation of the clan?"

"Shang Ke..." Pei Ding patted his daughter's hand and sighed: "Since you entered the palace, your uncle has been restored to his original post, but... not long after the initial ruling of the court, the power of the clan is meager. There is no rivalry in the matter.”

Pei Wushuang let out an "ah": "Uncle cousin, they are so useless, I've already reached this point, yet they are still the same?"

"They are like this, it really makes me feel that this heroic sacrifice is meaningless."

"You girl..." Mrs. Dou cast a tearful glance at her daughter, and said in a low voice, "...the Pei clan has been in a state of decline for a long time, and it is the grace of a saint to maintain the current situation. It is very difficult."

Pei Ding nodded beside him.

"I can't think of it like this. How can you be so frustrated when I have already entered this palace? I think my father is so good at flattering and flattering. Wouldn't it be a loss if he doesn't become a close minister of the emperor?" Pei Wushuang blinked. : "Father, don't rush to belittle yourself. Regarding this, the daughter holds the secret."

"Shuang'er..." Pei Ding was startled: "Don't you want to fight for the position of queen? Father told you that you must not have the intention of harming others! Besides, you have always only thrown stones at your own feet since you were young. Shuang’er, Dad doesn’t ask you to honor your ancestors, but only asks you not to implicate the Nine Clans…”

"What are you talking about! The Empress has treated me so well, and it's too late for me to thank her for protecting her."

"Then what do you say is a secret or not..."

"I'm talking about..." Pei Wushuang whispered in his father's ear.

Pei Ding was shocked, and his tongue was tied: "You mean, Huang, Huang... How is it possible!"

"How is it impossible? Think about it carefully. You have never thought about the profound meaning behind the saint's previous actions and Ah Heng's entry into the Chongwen Museum as an official? And you haven't got the 'Experience Record', you know Who wrote that?"

"...Thinking that father's official position is impossible to get." Pei Ding said: "But I heard what your uncle said! You mean, that's..."

Pei Wushuang nodded: "Father, what do you think is the secret?"

After finishing speaking, Muhan said with sustenance: "The honor, disgrace and wealth of the Pei family is tied to your ability to adapt to the wind."

Pei Ding settled down, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he really had a glimpse of the secret.

Is it—

I found the elder brother of the Patriarch overnight, read the record of knowledge to the lamp, and then wrote an eloquent praise speech, and solemnly handed it to the elder brother Pei Xuan: "Tomorrow morning, if your majesty asks about this knowledge Brother, I have to read it accordingly!"

Pei Xuan frowned and looked at it: "Although, but...is it too flattering?"

"What flattery, this is Ronghuafu——no, this is called the eye of wisdom!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, when the emperor was about to leave the court, he really asked about this matter.

Words of praise abound.

But most of them are well-behaved scene words-after all, it is not good to grasp the sacred meaning, and it is not a good thing to say too much.

At this time, the golden mean is very applicable.

but……

What happened to Yongningbo Pei Xuan?

Please come out and let it go, how can you boast for a quarter of an hour and haven't stopped!
And what to say-

"The person who wrote this article has quite a way of governing the country. Such a talent should be reused by Your Majesty!"

Good guy.

How dare he say it!
Do you know who is making the fuss, just the way to govern the country!
Well, I finally know why the Pei family has declined.

Or, if you break the pot and smash it, put it here to seek wealth and insurance?
"The minister's opinion is also the same."

——Who else agrees!
Oh, it's King Fan Yang...that's all right.

Whatever this person says, the saint will not blame him.

Baiguan has seen this "preference" clearly.

And on the dragon chair, the emperor is already Long Yan Joy.

"May I ask Your Majesty, who is the author of this article?" Pei Xuan's eyes were full of yearning: "I am impressed by the article written by him. Recently, the President came to visit and ask for advice!"

This exaggerated flow of words was also written by the fifth brother!

If the result is wrong...he must beat this younger brother to death!

Fortunately, the emperor smiled more and more comfortably, but he did not forget to play tricks: "I just said it before, he is just a student who is still studying."

Pei Xuan quickly answered, "You must be very young?"

The emperor smiled and nodded: "Yes, but only 12 years old."

Pei Xuan was incomparably amazed: "This son will definitely do a lot in the future!"

Baiguan: "..."

With such boasting, it is really hard for people not to suspect that the one making the fuss is his own son, Pei Xuan!
But the facts proved that it was not Pei Xuan's own birth——

Born of a saint himself!

"I won't play riddles with my dear friends." The emperor said with a smile: "The person who wrote this article is none other than my eldest daughter Jiayi."

The whole hall was in an uproar, and the sounds of surprises kept coming and going.

"It was actually written by Princess Jiayi..."

"That's right, didn't Princess Jiayi just travel abroad in the past two years? In this record, the local military and agricultural affairs involved cannot be written without personal experience..."

"But this article...doesn't look like a little girl..."

"It's rare."

When Baiguan came back to his senses, it suddenly dawned on him - the co-author Saint wanted to hear people praise his daughter!

But it is indeed worthy of praise, should be praised.

All the officials were relieved, the atmosphere in the hall was relaxed, and there were constant praises.

There were also several ministers who did not say much, but secretly exchanged glances.

Your Majesty's actions... really just want to hear people praise Princess Jiayi?

There are rumors in the harem that His Majesty has no heirs, and it is not impossible to have heirs, but he does not want to have...

At first they only felt that the rumors were just rumors, because there was no reason at all—how could there be such absurd reasons in the world?Not to mention the emperor!
And right now it seems...

can never...

The atmosphere in the hall was warm and harmonious, and the monarchs and ministers were talking and laughing, but many officials felt turbulent waves in their hearts.

This conjecture was quickly confirmed.

Several months passed, and all kinds of signs became clear, and finally on the day of Lixia, the emperor mentioned the matter of establishing a reserve——

Establish the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Jiayi, as the empress dowager!
From the court to the common people, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is earth-shattering.

There are countless voices of fierce opposition.

Seeing that the emperor "would not repent", some officials made great moves to stop the court, claiming in the mansion that they would not recover from illness, and some even claimed that they would show their will by death.

Seeing all these things, Heng Yu was not surprised at all.

"It's inevitable, it's expected." She said to Jiayi.

Jiayi has heard too many belittling words recently, so she took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes became firmer: "Yes, my father said the same thing, there are father and teacher Now, Jiayi is not afraid."

……

In August of the same year, Hengyu gave birth to a daughter, whose baby name is Chenwei.

The dawn is faint, and the dawn breaks. Although it is faint but not blazing, it is the beginning of breaking the chaos.

……

In October, a debate competition was held in the Chongwen Museum, and young clan children were invited to debate with Princess Jiayi, but no one won.

And those who oppose it always have new arguments.

Controversy over the establishment of a reserve has not stopped.

……

In March of the following year, King Fan Yang was ordered to quell the chaos, and when he returned, he brought Dasheng another peace.

……

Spring goes and spring comes again.

……

Throughout the past and present, no matter how fierce the controversy is, no matter how seemingly deviant talk, under the suppression of absolute forces, it will always stop and win the victory.

Li Wei's rebellion indirectly weakened the gentry, disrupted the arrangement of forces, and gave the young emperor a chance to gather real power when he ascended the throne.

Therefore, the emperor's insistence is weighty and meaningful.

Standing behind Princess Jiayi is not only the Son of Heaven, but also the Jin family of the Queen's mother, and King Fan Yang who holds military power. In Liujia, he was also able to scold the two courtiers, and Ji Xueshi, who invited the imperial physician on the spot——

And that family headed by the Pei family who has no character and seems to have peeked at the answer in advance!
There are also many officials who gave up resistance because they gradually saw the situation clearly under the two years of controversy...

Even those young students from all over the world who have just obtained the fame of juren and have not yet entered the imperial court are spreading everywhere that Princess Jiayi has the talent for governing the country, and widely read her articles and theories——

So far, the general trend has gone, the general trend has become.

……

The girl is fifteen and reaches Ji.

This year, Princess Jiayi did not attend the Ji ceremony.

What was waiting for her was the ceremony of Li Chu.
