The beauty of April in the world is over, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom!
The cherry blossoms in Yuzhen Temple are about to wither, but the peach blossoms are beginning to bud and bloom beside the green grassy official road of the ten-mile long pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing.
It's a pity that no matter how good the spring is, the sorrow of separation is getting far away and endless. Before he can show off his head in the capital and make achievements in the officialdom, he is inexplicably involved in the lion dance case and has to leave Chang'an city temporarily.
Wang Weijing sat in the carriage, opened a corner of the curtain and looked towards the end of the official road. Not seeing the person he was waiting for, he reluctantly lowered the carriage curtain.
"I won't come, let's go!"
"Did you really leave Chang'an City like this?"
The servant was anxiously advising: "Even if the princess doesn't come to see her off, the young master can actually go to Yuzhen to see her. Your Majesty loves the eldest princess so much. If the eldest princess is involved, he will definitely be able to get the young master out of this lion dance case." come out."
Wang Wei burst into laughter when he heard the servant's innocent words.
Let the eldest princess go to ask His Majesty?
It must be known that everything has its own cause and effect. It was precisely because he played a song of Yu Lun Pao to express his ambition during the flower viewing banquet at the Manlu Hall that the lion dance case was implicated.
Between fame and fortune and the cold and noble princess, he chose the former, so what qualifications did he have to appear in front of her?
Ask her to help him go to His Majesty to plead for mercy?
What's more, the reason why he has reached this point is because someone figured out the emperor's thoughts and acted accordingly.
"You are the eldest princess, how can you get everything you want?"
Wang Wei felt pity in his heart: "She grew up in a deep palace since she was a child. She saw too much strife in the palace, and she wanted to get rid of her involvement with the palace, so she escaped into the Taoist gate and found peace in her heart."
The servant was puzzled: "What do you mean by these words?"
"She has escaped from the place where she was born and raised. Is it because of me that she will be involved in the royal struggle for power again and go back to the life she was afraid of?"
Looking at the bright spring scenery outside the carriage, he sighed: "From the moment she escaped into the Taoist gate, she was destined for the honor of the Tang Dynasty to no longer be able to have children and live like an ordinary woman."
"But I am just a common person with earthly ties, expectations from my parents and relatives, and family honor and burdens on my shoulders."
He looked at the direction of Yuzhen Temple from a distance: "If you can't give her what she wants, why not turn around and leave as soon as possible..."
Aunt Zhen, who had been with Princess Yuzhen since childhood, was afraid that her master would become depressed because of Wang Wei's departure.
But because Li Sixu accompanied her to burn incense and play the piano, make tea, arrange flowers, and meditate, although their eldest princess sometimes fell silent suddenly, most of the time, she would smile at the little princess who came to watch with her.
For example, on a spring afternoon, when the little princess was tired of counting the cherries half the size of her pinky finger among the green leaves, she hugged the white fox and leaned on the hammock among the cherry trees to take a nap. laugh.
"It's hard for her to have such a character and come to Guanli to accompany me for so long."
Princess Yuzhen told Aunt Zhen in a gentle voice: "Have someone bring a small shawl to cover her. Although it is not cold under the sunshine in the afternoon, the place where she sleeps is shaded by trees. Don't turn around and catch the wind and cold."
Aunt Zhen is busy getting the little shawl!
After the incense in the incense burner burned out, she replaced it with a new one: "The younger one loves the eldest princess, and the older one also loves the eldest princess. She is so reluctant to leave our tenth princess. The little princess is accompanying her in the audience. During these days, I didn’t even send someone out of the palace to urge me.”
"The Emperor didn't send anyone here, so it's obvious that he loves the Empress. The Fish Empress and the Tenth Princess were there during the Lantern Festival, but he ran to the temple the next day."
"Does he love me, or is Yu'er preventing me from taking Xiao Shi back?"
Princess Yuzhen smiled sarcastically: "Brother Huang knew that he was innocent in the Yellow Lion Dance case, but he still demoted him to Jeju. Brother Huang himself felt guilty, but he knew to let us ten princesses watch over me for him. .”
Aunt Zhen said helplessly: "Elder Princess..."
"It's useless to talk more. He also has his helplessness. The emperor pays attention to the way of checks and balances, and human feelings are outside the law. I understand these principles. There is no need to persuade Chi Ying. After so many years of brother and sister friendship, how can Chi Ying do it because of this? Did things create a barrier between him and him?"
"It's just the mastermind behind the false accusation and conspiracy against Wang Wei. This palace will definitely find out."
"I have been burning incense, playing the piano, meditating and meditating these days, but I still haven't figured it out. What is the intention of the person behind the scenes to touch a small official of Taichang Temple?"
"Because I don't know, I feel even more uneasy! After all, that stupid Yu'er is still in the palace."
Princess Yuzhen asked Aunt Zhen: "I asked you and Quan'er to help investigate the matters at the Jiaofang. Has there been any progress?"
Aunt Zhen looked at Li Sixu, who had her eyes closed and long eyelashes under the cherry tree.
It looked like she was asleep and wouldn't wake up for a while.
Aunt Zhen thought about it for a while and reported: "Princess, the emperor has handed over the matter of preparing the lunch banquet in the palace to Xue Xiu."
Princess Yuzhen was a little unexpected.
She asked Aunt Zhen: "Chang'er's fiancé?"
"He is also the brother-in-law of His Highness the Crown Prince and the biological brother of the Crown Princess."
Aunt Zhen continued: "After Tai Lecheng was involved in the yellow lion dance in Jiaofang, the actors who were imprisoned in Tianlao bit their tongues and committed suicide for no apparent reason."
"Then, the people we placed in the classroom wanted to find out the replacement list, and they found Mrs. Gongsun."
Ordinarily, at this point in the matter, it can almost be concluded that Aunt Gongsun is the most suspicious.
But Aunt Gongsun was called into the palace by Wang Wei to perform the sword dance at the luncheon. After Wang Wei was demoted, she should have left the workshop, but she still stayed. This is puzzling.
If it was really her handiwork, she should have disappeared from the palace as soon as possible after Wang Wei's accident!
Aunt Zhen told Princess Yuzhen her inference, and then said: "This matter is really confusing, the evidence points directly to Aunt Gongsun, and because Tai Lecheng was demoted, the people who took over the Jiaofang and benefited were the princes. "
"Don't alert the enemy yet. Keep an eye on Mrs. Gongsun for me to see who she has close contacts with behind her back."
"As for my nephew Li Siqian?"
Princess Yuzhen thought thoughtfully: "If he is really so brainless, the emperor will not allow him to secure his position as crown prince. I am afraid someone is using him as a cover-up to this matter..."
Aunt Zhen and Princess Yuzhen just thought of themselves as little people leaning on the hammock next to the pavilion, hugging the little white fox nestled in her arms and falling asleep. In fact, what they didn't know was that Li Sixu was faking a nap.
She was about to fall asleep after squinting her eyes and listening to the piano for a while, but when she heard Aunt Zhen reporting the incident at the Jiaofang, involving Mrs. Gongsun and the prince, she suddenly fell asleep.
Sure enough, as she expected, the mastermind behind Wang Wei's frame-up wanted to blame everything on Aunt Gongsun.
This is why Li Sixu insisted on keeping Aunt Gongsun in the palace!
But what the hell does this matter involve her prince brother?
Aunt Zhen only said that it was the prince's family who benefited from the teaching, but she did not say that she had found evidence that the incident was related to his brother. She put this clue aside for now and focused on Aunt Gongsun's side.
Her aunt's people were able to track down Aunt Gongsun. If what she expected was true, Aunt Gongsun's skills should be able to uncover the person who was trying to frame her. We would have to wait for the news from the palace.
