Nangong Yitian hasn't had a meal with Leng Xiao for two or three days. He just had time for dinner today. He originally wanted to go back and have a meal with his family of four. When Master Wei reported that his father had asked him to inquire about political affairs, he said: " You go back and tell the Crown Princess that I will wait for her to get up early tomorrow morning for breakfast and not go back to eat tonight."
"Yes!" Master Wei responded.
Nangong Yitian immediately rode his horse into the palace. He probably knew what his father wanted to ask. It should be about officials from all over the country taking turns to come to Beijing to report on their duties.
This year he led the Ministry of Civil Affairs to help rectify the officials, but Taifu Lu suggested that the local yamen should first conduct cross-examinations, and then report to the capital after the interrogations.
Although he disagreed at the time and believed that a special investigation office should be set up to carry out the investigation, his father agreed. He also felt that he could check the situation first because they were investigating each other and if there was cover-up, they could be found out by looking back.
This is an important matter. Officials represent public power and face the people directly. To put it bluntly, they want to stabilize the people's hearts through the management and governance of officials.
The officials are about to arrive in Beijing. If he wants to hand over this matter, his father will definitely have many details to ask clearly.
Therefore, he only thought it was this matter and did not know that his father secretly arranged for him to meet Princess Qing.
Princess Qing has been waiting in the palace for a long time. Early this morning, her father sent a message to her, saying that she could arrange a meeting today.
She was very excited and dressed up for a long time. She put on the most beautiful clothes and the most exquisite makeup. Her heart was trembling all the way into the palace.
The mother-in-law has always asked her to forget, but she can't forget, and she can't bear to forget.
From the first time she saw him, that handsome young man was deeply imprinted in her heart. As time went by, it became even more engraved in her bones. How could she forget? How could you be willing to forget?
Sitting in the Fengyun Palace, it was as warm as spring, and the cold wind outside could not blow in. She wrung her handkerchiefs to hold back the excitement. She must not say those things when she saw him, and she had to rebuild the old relationship with him first.
No matter what request he made, she would agree to it, even if it meant going to apologize to Leng Xiao, she would be willing to do so.
But she also said silently in her heart, Ayi, this is the last chance I give you. If you don't cherish it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Finally, she heard footsteps, raised her head suddenly, and saw him striding in, with steady steps and quick movements, still the resolute style of the past.
Her heart couldn't stop shaking with excitement. She stood up, her voice almost disappeared in her throat, and she shouted with difficulty, "Ayi, long time no see."
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she tried hard to hold back, trying hard to show a gentle smile on her lips.
Nangong Yitian glanced at her and then looked around the Fengyun Palace, but his father was nowhere to be seen.
He turned back and asked Eunuch Qing, "Where is your father?"
Eunuch Qing bowed and said, "Your Highness, wait a moment, the Emperor will be here soon."
Nangong Yitian glanced at him, and when he saw his eyes dodge, he knew that his father had deliberately arranged for him to meet Nangong Qinglan.
His father actually lied, just to help Nangong Qinglan meet him, which made him really unhappy.
Princess Qing knew him well, and when she saw his slightly depressed expression, she knew that he had understood.
She hurriedly said: "Ayi, I begged my father to let you enter the palace, meet with me, and clarify the misunderstandings."
Nangong Yitian said coldly: "What misunderstanding do you and I have? Everything is clear and clear, there is no misunderstanding."
"Yes, I want to tell you clearly about what happened that day, and about Leng Xiao." Princess Qing took a step forward, wanting to get closer to him.
Nangong Yitian's eyes turned cold, and she stopped in fear, "Okay, okay, don't leave, I'll tell you here."
