the emperor is my uncle

Autumn has been sad and lonely since ancient times. If my backstage calls me into the palace a few more times, I feel that this autumn, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through...

What my father meant was: "Go, of course, this is the order of the Empress Dowager. Do you want to disobey it? Even if you want to disobey, you have to worry about whether the whole family of Heshun Wangfu, old and young, are willing to die with you. Even if they wanted to—"

What my mother meant was: "Otherwise, find Jiang Huai to help you enter the palace for good or bad luck?"

Disappointed, I went to my master, wanting to ask him some great ways to save my life.

The master stroked his gray beard with his hands, and gave me the four-character mantra: "Speak less, laugh more."

I thought about it, it means how stupid and how come, this is not difficult to do.But when the queen mother recruited me into the palace, nine out of ten things were nothing to do, and there was one thing that had to be guarded against even though the hit rate was low, and that was—find me a husband.

When the queen mother is old, she especially enjoys the pleasure of being a concubine. If I talked less and laughed more at that time, if I was regarded as reserved and acquiesced, I would be hopeless for the rest of my life.

Therefore, I decided that when I entered Longtan this time, I would follow the principle of watching the six directions, listening to the eight directions, and taking one step at a time.

……

The sedan chair stopped outside the palace, Sanyuan tugged at my cuffs and wiped away tears, "Princess, you must be careful."

She exudes the aura of a little widow crying for a grave, I don't want to ignore it, "Just wait."

Who would have expected that as soon as I stepped into the palace, Eunuch Wu had already opened up his position and waited for me to enter the urn, "Princess Xiyuan, this servant is following the emperor's order to take you to the imperial study."

I have long expected that the road ahead will be difficult and dangerous, but I never thought that difficulties and dangers will hit me before I take a full step!It is still far away from the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace through rockery, small forests, pavilions, terraces, and waterside pavilions. In short, the road to rescue soldiers is still too long, and I am likely to be folded into my uncle's hands today.

Seeing that I was speechless, Eunuch Wu said to me again in his extremely awkward voice: "The emperor has already sent a slave to report to the Queen Mother, so the princess can rest assured, let's go with the slave."

"The Queen Mother...didn't say anything?"

"What can the Empress Dowager say? Don't worry about it too much, the princess. I won't be able to afford to offend the emperor's Longyan later on."

No words can describe my broken mood at this moment, and I don't trust any backstage anymore.

I have a hunch that the news that I was sent to the imperial study by the emperor will be sent to the Heshun Palace faster than the horses that pass on military information. Now I hope that my mother can leave the card table and burn incense sticks for me to pray for blessings, but ...it is estimated that there is not much hope.

Passing by autumn trees, stepping on small stones, and walking a thousand turns in the corridor, every step I take brings me closer to my uncle.

My heart finally beat up quickly, I swallowed, and asked Eunuch Wu for a spoiler, "Eunuch, the emperor wants me to go...what is it?"

Eunuch Wu's old face is so sincere that the world can learn from it, "Princess, the emperor is looking for you, can there be anything good!" It seems that there is really nothing good!

After entering the imperial study room, a touch of bright yellow seeped into my spiritual orifices, and my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys trembled in unison.

It's my uncle.

My uncle is still undiminished, he is holding a copy of "National Theory" and reading it, his whole face is expressionless, as cold as a bowl of cold water.

"Your Majesty, the Princess has brought it."

Eunuch Wu leaned closer to the emperor's ear and murmured a few more words, then bent over and backed away, leaving me and the parrot on the bird stand staring wide-eyed...

Don't speak, don't give a seat, don't talk about things, ignore me, my uncle is best at playing cold violence, he wants me to scare myself to death.I just stood obediently like that, watching my uncle drink three cups of tea and turn over eighteen pages of the book, but he still didn't even look at me.
