The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1065 Exit

Outside the city of Kyoto, the eldest princess of Hong'an was quietly stroking the strings of her musical instrument in a distant pavilion on a high platform, watching the rush on the post road from a distance from time to time.

It wasn't until she heard the sound of familiar footsteps not far away that she slowed down her strumming speed.

"The concubine should not have come here at this time." Holding the remaining sound of the strings in her hands, Hong'an Princess Zhen Quan sighed and slowly looked behind her.

But he saw Mrs. Cen walking to the side and sitting down unconcernedly.

"Isn't the eldest princess looking forward to my coming?"

Zhen Quan twirled the strings with his fingers, his disapproval attitude seemed to come out of his eyes: "My guards saw the bugs following the concubine from a long way away."

"Oh?! Haha, it's common for some insects to appear in this hot summer." Concubine Cen chuckled and asked, "What's more, I don't think that meeting the eldest princess is not open to outsiders."

"The concubine is really eloquent and eloquent, which really puts Hong An to shame." Zhen Quan snorted, watching the tea maid leave, and couldn't help but curiously asked, "I just don't know what the concubine did when she entered the palace, to attract so many people. Our dignified and virtuous queen is furious? "

Hearing her question, Concubine Cen was not surprised, but still smiled gently: "I didn't expect that things in the palace can't be hidden from the eldest princess!"

"When it comes to being well-informed, I'm afraid I can't compare to you, the concubine!" Zhen Quan didn't bother with Concubine Cen and the affairs in the palace, but asked about his previous doubts, "I have worked hard to plan. It’s just to reunite with my children and grandchildren; but I don’t know what you want, concubine?”

"I said before that all I want is stability!" Concubine Cen looked into Zhen Quan's eyes and said seriously, "I have said this several times, but it's a pity that the eldest princess prefers herself to others and refuses to trust her!"

"Safe?" Zhen Quan withdrew his gaze and looked towards the direction of the imperial city, "It's not easy for people trapped in the whirlpool to find stability!"

Concubine Cen also moved her eyes away and looked at the opposite place: "Without desires and pursuits, you will naturally be at peace."

"Have no desires or desires?" Zhen Quan seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help but laugh out loud. After a while, he slightly opened his lips in a rather mocking manner, "Hong... I have lived for most of my life, and I have been since I knew something. I have no desires and desires. All I want is a stable life, but look, am I stable? "

"Why is the eldest princess so unstable? Although she lost her fiancé when we first got engaged, her position as princess is unbreakable. Although she only had one daughter after marriage, her relationship with the prince was dull, but the prince's fall did not affect you. The life of mother and daughter; three generations of emperors have taken care of her for the rest of her life, so why is it not stable? "

"If you put it this way, wouldn't it mean that the concubine is more stable? For half of her life, she has been treated leniently by Emperor Chengyuan and cared for by Queen Mother Xiao and Wen. Now she has retreated to the palace and is extremely quiet and contented. Why do you have to get involved in this muddy water?" Zhen Quan sneered and turned his face, "In that case, why do you and I need to discuss and plan? Why don't we each go back to our families and wait for the emperor to be merciful and release the descendants of our families!"

Concubine Cen was not angry when she saw her rude words. She waited for her to finish her words before saying, "What a great idea! It's a pity that you have a restless daughter, and I also have two restless grandchildren." , If the plan is not right, it is better not to let it go than to do something that will affect the descendants in the future. "

"The concubine has thought carefully." Zhen Quan's face softened a little, and he lowered his head and stroked the silk string, "The former Chen Zhen family has never been sorry to the great Chu Jiang family. Although the Jiang Chu royal family has never cut off the incense of the Zhen family, the Zhen family should also deserve it. To continue the inheritance, I have given a memorial to the Emperor not long ago... I hope that Xing'er's family can change her surname back to Zhen, and record her name in the former Chen royal family's ancestral certificate, and pass on the incense of her maternal ancestors, so that I will sleep for a long time in the future. I am worthy of my father and mother." "..." Concubine Cen's hands trembled slightly under her sleeves, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said, "The princess is good at unlocking... I hope the princess will do what she wants."

"I have a way out for the time being, but I don't know how the concubine will solve the problem." As Zhen Quan spoke, he opened the drawer of the piano table, took out a token, and handed it to Concubine Cen through the brocade handkerchief.

"Although it is a good idea to leave Dachu, the Chen family and the Jiang family have lived in Gyeonggi for many generations. After all, it is difficult to leave their hometown. I am afraid that I will live up to the concubine's good wishes. If your majesty agrees to my request, I will wake up with you." My son and her children will return to the Zhen family’s ancestral land to live in peace. If you have the opportunity to take your two grandchildren out, please arrange for them to leave the Central Plains and cross the sea!"

Concubine Cen looked at the familiar token in front of her, her eyelids trembled, and she took it neatly.

"That's a good idea." Concubine Cen made a request unceremoniously, "The emperor is kind and generous, and the detention of the clan is just for the sake of the children. The eldest princess has a plan to have both sides, and I think the emperor will definitely agree. I only pity the second son of Prince Jing." , because Princess Yongping withdraws, I am afraid that she will have to face a bigger storm... I only hope that the eldest princess can give me a few words of kindness. "

"This is not a difficult task, it's just a piece of cake." Zhen Quan deserves to be happy.

Concubine Cen looked at her gratefully: "The ancestors of the former Chen Zhen family first settled in Qizhou, and the eldest princess mainly brought Princess Yongping and his children back there... It is also a good thing for the people there. It has been so long since the former Qi returned to Chu. , the influence of the old customs of the former Qi Dynasty has not been lost. If the eldest princess and the princess Yongping can guide one or two to achieve something, when the princess Zhaode grows up, it is impossible to say that the Zhen family will return to the capital and be used by the queen. "

Her proposal seemed to be a reward for Zhen Quan's help in advance.

But it made Zhen Quan's suspicion lessened a little.

"The concubine suggested to Dashan that if the emperor allowed me to leave the capital, I would also ask the emperor to let the Lang family and his two sons escort me out of the capital... I think the emperor would treat them as going to sea in the name of the Da Chu royal family. It’s a pleasure to expand territory.”

……

"Wei Yi, have you found A Zhi?" Returning to the eldest princess's mansion, Zhen Quan looked at the captain of the bodyguard given to her by Emperor Chengyuan and asked in a deep voice.

Wei Yi shook his head: "The clues in my subordinate's hands point directly to the direction of Nuerhan, but I think it's not true...I'm afraid we still have to look near Qizhou."

"Qizhou?!" Zhen Quan felt his forehead tightening slightly, "I intend to change Yongping and the others' surnames. If we send people to leave the capital at this time, I'm afraid it will cause misunderstandings in the palace."

"But if you don't go to find out the situation, I... will feel a little uneasy." Zhen Quan has felt something is wrong since A Zhi left. After testing Concubine Cen today, this uncertainty and anxiety became clearer, "Concubine Cen asked me to Gong's intuition was wrong... She made the emperor think that the second son of the Lang family was not the biological son of Prince Jing. Was she really just trying to pull them out of the whirlpool? Are those two princes the sons of Prince Jing? She went there again! where?"
