I didn't tell my mother that I never wanted to stay out of it. I've done a lot of things in the dark these days, just waiting for the right moment.

The little maid who served tea carefully looked at my face, and was tiptoing to make a new pot of tea, I said, "This princess is greedy, and I want to eat soft beef sausage, grilled shrimp, tenderloin ròu, and West Lake fish soup for dinner. There is milk stewed jī, bamboo shoots can be fried on a plate, and cakes come to cage gold rǔsu."

The little palace maid was dumbfounded and said, "Is Your Highness, Your Highness, dining alone?"

"What's wrong?"

The little palace maid shook her head again and again, "This servant will go to the imperial pantry."

Isn't it just ordering a few more dishes, why is there such a fuss.

If everyone can turn their grief and anger into food when they are unsatisfactory, don't know how many disputes can be avoided.

I stretched my hand into my arms and unfolded the note in my palm. This is the biography of the flying eagle from Song Langsheng last night: The Great Ceremony of Sacrifice to Heaven, Nie Dang will definitely act.

I followed the breeze and looked out the window. The clouds on the horizon were soft and soft. The tranquility before the wind and rain made people feel a little dizzy. I thought that it was time to wake up the prince and let him increase his troops in the palace and outside the palace. Now, although Song Langsheng told me to be at ease, being at ease does not mean that I can take it lightly.

Since I made a special trip to prepare the Prince's favorite food, it's okay to invite him to the Changle Palace for dinner. I pulled up my robe and went out when I heard the voice of the palace maid: "Your Highness Princess, Princess Jiayi is here."

Before I could say anything, Jiayi pushed open the door and entered, waving a kite in her hand and smilingly said, "Sister Huang!"

I rubbed my forehead, and then I remembered that I casually coaxed Jiayi to accompany her to fly a kite outside the hospital, so I said, "I have something important to discuss with the prince, so why not fly the kite another day."

Jiayi looked disappointed, and she didn't dare to play tricks, so she nodded obediently. I couldn't bear it, so I stopped her and asked her to wait for me outside for a while.

I rummaged around in the cabinet, and I collected more than one or two rare treasures from small to large. Anyway, most of them have never been touched at the bottom of the box, so it's okay to find them now for Huangmei to play with.

Sure enough, there were a lot of interesting things hidden in the large wooden boxes under the cabinet. I picked up a stack of them and was about to send them to Jiayi when I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a sword.

The scabbard of this sword is made of bronze and carved with dragons and auspicious clouds. It is extremely majestic. When it comes out of the scabbard, it can break the hair, cut the iron like mud, and wave it like a stream of autumn water.

This sword was the sword used by the father and emperor to conquer the country. Later, he gave this sword to the elder brother of the emperor. At that time, all the brothers were envious, and waited until the elder brother left the imperial city with the beauty. On the day of his parting, he gave the sword to the elder brother. I said that he had no face to return the sword to the emperor himself.

When I brought the sword to my father, my father said, "Since he gave you the sword, keep it well."

I put the sword away, hoping that one day when the eldest brother comes back, I will return the sword to him, but after that farewell, he has never heard from him again, just like the wind of leaving...

Thinking of this makes my heart sink.

Lan is the wind in the mountains, leaving with the wind is the wind.

I closed my eyes and warned myself not to fantasize about things out of thin air. Right now, I should focus on helping Jingyan get through the difficulties.

At noon, Jingyan really did not stop, and still rushed to write and review the memorials before several cases.

I didn't let Eunuch Cheng pass the message, so when he looked up and saw that it was me, he was obviously taken aback, "Sister Huang..."

I sat down beside him on my knees, picked up a memorial, looked at it and said, "It seems that the Qingliu in the court doesn't agree with your tyranny..."

Jing Yan lowered his head, "Is Huangjie here to ridicule me?"

"How could I not know the prince's intentions? Daqing can be regarded as an internal and external trouble now. Zhao Shoufu has such a huge power but is watching the fire from the other side. His heart is unfathomable. I can't think of a better way to win over Zhao Gengnian..." I put down the book and sighed, "It's just that you don't know Zhao Yanran very well, I have had some contact with her, although she is expensive as the head and daughter , is not the same as other famous ladies, and she is not attached to the power and glory under the high walls of the harem. If she is unwilling to marry, you may not be able to marry if you want. This move shouldn't be like this."

Jing Yan turned to me in surprise, "You, you mean..."

"I will visit the Shoufu Mansion in person," I said.

Seeing me lifting up my robes, Jingyan hurriedly stood up, "Since Huangjie and Zhao Qianjin are in a good relationship, Jingyan really doesn't want to be embarrassed by you, this is still..."

"Guarding Daqing is not only your responsibility, but also the royal sister's." I smiled slightly: "Mother is right, you have always done a good job, but I was too reckless."

Jing Yan shook his head, "If it wasn't for me, Huang Jie would have been more comfortable than now..."

I didn't follow his words and patted him on the shoulder, "When I come back later, you can come directly to Changle Hall to dine with me. The emperor has already asked the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite food."

Jing Yan looked at me fixedly and nodded, "Yeah."

When I turned to leave, I let out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps, the days when the royal sister can stay by your side, there are not many opportunities to accompany you to eat.

Second update- -

When it was dark, the autumn water of a lake in Zhao's mansion was sparkling in the setting sun.

I followed the servants of Zhao's house and walked leisurely beside the waterside pavilion. When I turned back, I saw Zhao Gengnian hurried across the corridor. When he was close to him, he finished his kowtow. He raised his hand and motioned me to take a seat in the hall. When the princess arrives, there is a loss to welcome you, and I hope the princess will not take offense."

I looked at him slowly, his face was more haggard than the last time I saw him, "Elder Ge is busy with business, it was Xiangyi who made him abrupt."

Zhao Gengnian ordered the servants to watch the tea, and when the cakes were ready, Fang said, "I don't know why His Highness is here."

I said, "Bengong is here today because he made a special trip to visit sister Yanran."

Zhao Gengnian's expression did not change, but there was a slight surprise in his eyes, "Oh? Don't you want the princess to know the little girl?"

I smiled and said: "I have had a few relationships with Ling Ai, and it is considered a good deal. Recently, I heard that Yanran's sister didn't think about eating and drinking because of the prince's choice of concubine, and she was very worried, so she came uninvited. What do you have? If you are in trouble, you might as well tell it frankly, and if there is anything you can help, this palace will definitely help.”

Zhao Gengnian expressed his gratitude: "Thanks to the princess' love, it's just that the old minister is too indulgent to the little girl on weekdays, and she is so used to her that she dares to disobey the marriage of His Royal Highness the prince. Hey, the old minister is really shameless to face the prince..."

"It's because of Yan Ran's nature, and Elder Ge doesn't need to blame himself." I said, "If that's the case, can Elder Ge bring Ben Gong to see her?"

Zhao Gengnian nodded slightly, got up and led the way, "Princess, please."

I guess Zhao Yanran should have been on a hunger strike for several days.

When entering the house, the sound of opening and closing the door was so loud that she turned a deaf ear and sat motionless by the window looking at the clouds in the sky. It seemed that the blow she suffered was not small.

I pulled up a chair and sat beside her and stared at her for a long time. She finally discovered my existence, and when she slowly turned her head, she was startled, "Princess?!"

I looked at her dark eyes and sighed, "Long time no see, you've lost a lot of weight."

She asked me with her eyes, "Why did you come to my house?" After thinking about it, she immediately understood, "Yes, the prince wants to marry me as a concubine, how could you not know. Princess, are you here to help me?"

My heart was aching, Zhao Yanran's hands were already on my shoulders, her eyes gleamed like a resurgence, "You know, you know who the person I really like in my heart is, I can't marry the prince, I can't marry Entering the palace, princess, can you help me? You are the elder sister of the prince, so maybe he can hear what you say..."

"Yanran, I..." My lips moved, but she didn't say anything, Zhao Yanran was so smart, she seemed to understand the helplessness in my eyes, she slowly let go, "You didn't come to help me... ...Why? Is it because I stole your party?"

I shook my head, her eyes gradually turned angry, "Why is that?"

"For the prince." I was silent for a moment, "The prince needs your father's help, but your father also has your father's concerns. If you are made a concubine, the prince will enthrone you in the future... For your father, Only in this way can you keep your Zhao family standing, and as far as the prince is concerned, only in this way can you get your father's full support..."

Zhao Yanran raised her hand to interrupt me, "What does this have to do with me?! Did you ask me about my wishes when you were making private decisions?! Could it be that you can sacrifice my feelings and my life in order to stabilize your power? Princess, It’s fine if you don’t help me, and now you are uniting with them to deal with me, ask yourself, how will I, Zhao Yanran, treat you, and how will you treat me?!”

I bowed my head and couldn't help but choked in my throat, "You treat me very well, you tried hard to save my life when I was in trouble, and after Xu Fang disappeared, you told Nie Ran the truth..."

Zhao Yanran was taken aback for a while, "Is this what Brother Ran told you?"

I nodded.

"In that case, how can you..."

"Yan Ran," I said solemnly, "Even if you don't want to marry the crown prince, you can't be with Nie Ran."

"why?"

"Maybe you're still being kept in the dark, so I'll tell you—the Marquis of Xiayang and Nie Guangyi conspired, and Nie Ran was also involved." I said, "Now the prince has ordered someone to spy on him, and he will only be arrested when the incident occurs. Arrest."

Zhao Yanran stood up abruptly, her face full of disbelief, "You are talking nonsense! How could my brother have the intention of treason..."

"He told me himself." I closed my eyes, then opened them again, "You've known him for so long, I don't believe that you really can't see any clues—if you still don't want to believe it, you can Go ask your father, if you don’t believe it, go to the Imperial College to find Nie Ran and see what he has to say.”

She held the edge of the window with trembling fingertips, as if caught in memory. After a long time, she asked, "If this is the case, why did you tell me all this? Aren't you afraid that I will tell Brother Ran to let him escape?"

I said, "You can give it a try. It's best to make sure that he can escape safely. Otherwise, fleeing and arresting in fear of crime will push him to death in advance and convict him of the crime."

Zhao Yanran was shocked, and her face was as pale as snow, I gritted my teeth and said, "It's just that no matter if this is successful or not, you will be regarded as your own party, and the Zhao family will also face extinction. You can give up you in order to save Nie Ran. Your own life, but can you really give up your relatives and your family?"

She looked like she was going to collapse at any time, and the anger she had been holding on since I came in instantly dissipated without a trace, "You told me this because you wanted me to give up on brother Ran and marry the prince... …”

"You place great importance on righteousness, and you don't want your family to be implicated because of you. If Nie Ran dies because of this, you will feel ashamed and hated, how could you possibly marry the prince?" I turned my head away, "You will follow Nie Ran's lead. However, go, like this, Fang will live up to the depths of your life."

Zhao Yanran's beautiful eyes showed despair, "Princess really is the person who knows Yanran best..."
