The architectural pattern of the main courtyard of Taichang Princess Mansion is very square, as if drawn by craftsmen with a ruler. No frills.The houses and pavilions in this mansion are all made in this way. There are no trestle bridges and flowing water, and there is no moonlight in the lotus pond.However, because it occupies a huge area, it creates a kind of spaciousness and a kind of solemnity.In the shadows under the high wall, there was a rather thin figure walking slowly, and he didn't meet any maids along the way, making this person's arrival soundless and silent.

When someone entered the yard, he walked around the main house and walked to the backyard without any guidance.After walking for half a cup of tea, I finally came to a large pool of water.The scenery of the backyard is quite different from that of the main house. If the main house is dignified and grand, the backyard is very delicate and charming.

In a pond with a clear bottom.Embellished with colorful pebbles, green and soft ripples, rippling comfortably with the breeze, a simple and elegant embroidered building stands quietly on the opposite bank, with a layer of white gauze floating, which makes people feel happy when they see it .

However, at this time, the visitor was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the Taichang Princess' mansion.He lifted his feet and walked onto the nine-curved corridor bridge built of white jade.Go to the embroidery building which is quiet as if there is no one there.

He seemed to come here often, pushed open the door of the embroidery building familiarly, and walked in quickly.

Hearing the movement at the door, Princess Taichang, who had been meditating while holding a teacup, raised her head, and Jin Qiaoer, who was talking beside her, also closed her mouth, and stood up with her mother.

Surprise flashed across her delicate face.But seeing that his mother was not surprised, he knew that mother and the visitor had made an appointment to come here to meet.

Princess Taichang still had a serious face, bowed to the visitor who was about to kneel down, and praised: "There are so many guests in the house today, Your Majesty really shouldn't take the risk to come here."

The thin young man dressed as a servant hurriedly stepped forward to help the eldest princess, "You don't need to be polite, Aunt Huang. I also know that there are many guests in the house today, so I really shouldn't come here in person. But I don't want to come here in person. There’s always some anxiety in my heart.”

Princess Taichang raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "Your Majesty is worried that I will mess things up?"

When she said this, there was clearly some displeasure in her eyes.

The little emperor hurriedly laughed and said, "Where am I worried that my aunt would mess things up? I was thinking that Zhou Dafu was so cunning that he might not be easy to deal with. The aunt only dealt with her once, so I'm afraid she didn't know her well enough. After all, I have met her twice, so I came here on purpose to get to know her better, and the chances of winning will be better, don't you think?"

He was very respectful when facing the Taichang princess, really the attitude that a junior should have when meeting an elder.At this moment, seeing Princess Taichang's expression softened a bit, she turned her head and smiled at Jin Qiao'er who was still a little confused: "Sister-in-law is back too, how are the people in Dingguo's mansion treating you well? If someone is disrespectful to you, Even though I told you, I will make the decision for you, and I must beat them hard, but I can't let my sister suffer a little bit of grievance in Dingguo's mansion."

Jin Qiao'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Majesty is thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with it, but recently my mother-in-law dislikes me in every possible way, she dare not do anything to me on the surface, but she instigates sister-in-laws to make me feel uncomfortable, It's really annoying."

The little emperor just said it casually, but Jin Qiaoer really started to sue, and the little emperor's originally amiable face became embarrassing.

Princess Taichang glanced at her own daughter, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, don't pay attention to her. After marrying Dingguo Duke's mansion, she is a member of Dingguo Duke's mansion. It is her own duty to be filial to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. It's not up to His Majesty to make decisions for her even if she suffers the slightest grievance. These inner affairs are beyond His Majesty's control!"

Saying this, Princess Taichang's complexion completely fell, she stared at her daughter who was pampered in every possible way and said in a deep voice: "There is no empress dowager or queen in the harem, you asked your majesty to put his hand into other people's mansions. And it's still a house in the backyard What do people think of His Majesty with that point? If you say such nonsensical words in the future, I will kill you first!"

Not to mention the relationship between the little emperor and the Duke of Dingguo, it's just that the little emperor wants to intervene in the affairs of his courtiers. Once such a thing gets out, the little emperor's reputation of being unfilial will not escape.In addition, everyone in the world will laugh at his womanly behavior!

When the little emperor saw Princess Taichang come back for him, the expression on his pale face eased a lot. He saluted as a junior to Princess Taichang, "I still love my aunt the most."

Although Dingguo Duke's Mansion is not the little emperor's natal family, it is the ancestral home where his mother, Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun, grew up.Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun lost her mother since she was a child, and her father reunited soon after. The old matriarch of Dingguo Mansion, that is, Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun's grandmother, worried that she would not be able to make a living in the hands of her stepmother, so she was picked up by someone. Come here, and have been kept by my side ever since, until Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun was favored by the late emperor who was still the prince at that time and married as a side concubine.

Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun achieved the position of empress all the way.But she never benefited her biological father's family, instead, she relied on Dingguo's mansion in every possible way, and even the title of Dingguo's mansion was won by her.She regards Duke Ding's Mansion as her natal family, and the little emperor is a filial person, so naturally Duke Ding's Mansion is very different.

When Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun was still there, Duke Dingguo's mansion was naturally a scene of flowers and brocade cooking fire, and it was the object of many people's pursuit and fawning.And at that time, the marriage between Jin Qiaoer and the eldest son of Duke Dingguo was also arranged by Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun when they were young.

Because of this incident, Jin Qiaoer was very dissatisfied with Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun.

She didn't like her elm-like incomprehensible but ordinary-looking husband at all, after the death of Empress Xiaowen Zhaoshun.She was also glad that she finally didn't have to marry to Duke Ding's mansion, and happily ran to find her mother, wanting her to be the master and let her marry the person she had admired since she was a child.Unexpectedly, how much Princess Taichang dotes on her, and how firm she is in her marriage.He refused to listen to her at all, and insisted on marrying her to Duke Ding's mansion.Over the years, because the regent suppressed the little emperor, Dingguo Duke's House, as the family with the closest relationship with the little emperor, was naturally also the target of the regent's suppression.Those lively and glamorous days in the past are no longer there, and Jin Qiaoer married into Dingguo's mansion.How could a girl like her, who is so proud of heaven, be able to bear such a thing like them, with her tail clamped tight and her life careful?

Unable to reconcile, Jin Qiaoer can only find fault in the mansion to vent her grievances.

In such a huge Dingguo mansion, even the old matriarch had to give her three points.Therefore, when talking about the bad things her mother-in-law treated her, Princess Taichang lost her face first.

Jin Qiaoer was reprimanded by her mother, she turned her head away in displeasure, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing this, the little emperor smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be angry about unnecessary things. I got some new fun things there, and I will ask someone to send them to the mansion when I return to the palace. It doesn't matter if you play with them yourself or give them away." Well, Wan Mo declined, this is also a little bit of my heart for my little aunt."

Jin Qiao'er suddenly turned from anger to joy, and said with a smile: "I missed His Majesty's good things again, then I will not be polite to Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty for always thinking about me, my sister-in-law."

After finishing speaking, he recalled the topic they had mentioned before, and asked curiously: "Who is Zhou Dafu? His Majesty came out of the palace for such a person, so it can be seen that he is a very remarkable person?"

"Don't ask around, it has nothing to do with you. Your eldest sister must have arrived, why don't you go to meet her soon?" Princess Taichang scolded again with a straight face.

Although Jin Qiaoer was unhappy, she was in a good mood after receiving the reward from the little emperor.He didn't bother anymore, got up and said: "I know my mother doesn't want to see me, so I'm leaving now."

He smiled and bid farewell to the little emperor.

Seeing her walk out of the Xiulou gracefully and closing the door, the too long princess and the little emperor continued the conversation just now.

It's just that none of them expected that Jin Qiao'er, who was supposed to leave, was leaning against the crack of the door to eavesdrop.

"Has your majesty found anything?" Princess Taichang asked casually as she handed the newly brewed teacup to the little emperor.

The little emperor hurriedly took the teacup with both hands respectfully, paused before saying: "I sent silver armored guards to the country of Xia, but they didn't find anything. Where is the emperor's aunt here? Do you know that the emperor of Yan country and the prince of Yun country Competing to marry Princess Mingyue?"

Princess Taichang also shook her head, "Xia Kingdom is just a tiny place, its terrain and national strength are not places for military strategists to contend for. Although Yan Kingdom and Yun Kingdom are afraid of Xia Kingdom's attachment to Daliang, they have been living in peace all these years. Something. The sudden abnormal behavior is definitely not because of wanting to win over Xia Guotu to raise troops. Since it is not for Xia Guo, the two countries also named and asked to marry Mingyue Princess, the suspicious point must be Mingyue Princess Zhou Dafu. I saw her in a restaurant last time. I didn't see anything on the surface."

"The emperor's aunt is very true." The little emperor deeply agreed, "It's just that I saw Princess Mingyue twice, but I didn't notice anything unusual about her. When she first arrived in Daliang, I knew that she had a similar relationship with Marquis Wu'an of Xia Kingdom. There are some close relationships, and I once promised that if she would help me with something, I would fulfill her friendship with Marquis Wu An. She also agreed to me at the time, but who knew that she had not done anything for a long time when she arrived at the Prince Regent's mansion. Seeing her, she was already standing beside the Prince Regent, and her words and demeanor were all in favor of the Prince Regent. I had no choice but to suspect that she had already been recruited by the Prince Regent and became one of the Prince Regent's people until the Prince Regent asked for a marriage... these years Although there are many women in the Prince Regent’s Palace, I already knew that he was not keen on female sex, so I refused to marry the main concubine all these years until this Princess Mingyue appeared. Aunt Huang, there must be something wrong with Princess Mingyue What we don't know is what makes the regent want her. Not only is the regent sure to get her, but even the emperor of Yan country and the crown prince of Yun country want her, so we have to think about it."

The little emperor was worried, and his brows were tightly frowned.

The Taichang Princess also looked dignified, but she comforted her and said: "Your Majesty, don't be too impatient. We will find out what ability or supernatural powers you have today. However, if she still refuses to be used by Your Majesty, the Regent If you are desperate, what should your Majesty do?"

The little emperor's eyes were full of gloom and gloom, he lowered his eyes slightly, and tapped his finger on the teacup, "If you can't use it for me, then you must not let the regent get her help! Aunt Huang, what is my situation like now? It is already very difficult, if the King Regent is given more wings than a tiger, I am afraid..."

He said, with a helpless wry smile, "I've gotten used to it over the years, and it doesn't matter what it is, but how could I have the heart to let Sister Xi follow me through that miserable life? I promised Sister Xi that the world would All the best things are given to her... I was too childish at that time, and I couldn't protect myself, so how could I take good care of sister Xi?"

As he said this, even with a little immature face, there was a look of distress and self-loathing, "Otherwise, Aunt Huang would still tell Sister Xi that I can't help her, and I can only let her down." Aunt Huang should take pity on her and find her a good family again."

Jin Yuxi is the eldest granddaughter of Princess Taichang, who is about the same age as the little emperor. She is the little granddaughter of Princess Taichang's heart.

Ever since Jin Yuxi met the little emperor, she felt relieved and threw herself on the little emperor.The secret relationship between the Taichang Princess and the little emperor is probably because of this beloved little granddaughter.
