Princess Xuanhuai Li Wanqing is the biological sister of Emperor Yingzong.
Emperor Yingzong was the grandfather of Emperor Xianlong.
Therefore, Princess Xuanhuai was Emperor Xianlong’s aunt according to her seniority.
Of course, Princess Xuanhuai is better known as the youngest daughter born to Emperor Sejong and Empress Wu.
Later, when Sejong died, Wu launched a coup and proclaimed herself empress, but did not change the country's title.
The empress ruled for nearly thirty years, and returned to the Li family in her later years.
Up to this point, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty was extremely taboo about the Wu family, and people were not even allowed to mention the Wu family's name.
Therefore, later generations only know that the queen's surname is Wu, but they do not know what her first name was.
Zhao Xun feels that this period of history is very similar to the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, but not the same.
Deviations occurred in some details, and together they produced unpredictable changes.
So much so that Zhao Xun, a liberal arts student with an academic background, had to consult a large number of files in the archives to understand the history of the Great Zhou Empire.
Of course, Zhao Xun knew very well that not everything in the dossier could be trusted.
The matter involved a palace struggle and the face of the royal family, and the history books had to keep it taboo.
So Zhao Xun decided to learn about Princess Xuanhuai from more people's mouths.
The best target is naturally Li Taiping, the lord of Yonghe County.
As a clan daughter, Li Taiping should know more or less what happened to Princess Xuanhuai back then.
In Zhao Xun's view, if you want to know why Princess Xuanhuai's tomb was stolen, you have to understand Princess Xuanhuai.
Isn’t this what bad people do?
Peel off the cocoon and pick out the gold.
Sift through seemingly clueless pieces of information to finally get directional clues.
Other clans might hide it from Zhao Xun, but Zhao Xun knew that Li Taiping would not.
…
…
In the garden of Prince Qi's Mansion, Li Taiping, the lord of Yonghe County, was sitting in the pavilion, looking at the koi in the pond in trance.
In the past two days, what came to her mind were the scenes of Zhao Xun speaking in perfect detail at the Qujiang Poetry Festival, with his tongue shining like a lotus flower.
As a clan girl, Li Taiping couldn't be too excited on such occasions. She had to be reserved and maintain the image of a clan girl.
But in fact, Li Taiping's heart was about to explode.
How can Zhao Xun be so good?
In Li Taiping's view, it is not an exaggeration to describe Zhao Xun as a poet.
Handsome and unrestrained, born into a noble family, and well versed in poetry, Zhao Xun has almost no flaws.
Such a person is worthy of being her sweetheart, Li Taiping.
"County lord, county lord, Duke Chengguo's eldest son Zhao Xun wants to see you!"
Just when Li Taiping was lost in thought, his personal maid hurried towards Zhao Xun, her face full of joy.
"What?"
In the palace, Li Taiping naturally no longer had to worry about his manners and instinctively exclaimed.
"It's Zhao Xun, Young Master Zhao is here."
Li Taiping bit his lip tightly with his white teeth. He couldn't get carried away, at least he couldn't show it in front of Zhao Xun.
but…
When she thinks of Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun can also think of him. Is this what Zhao Xun calls "a clear understanding of the heart"?
After tidying up his appearance a little, Li Taiping regained his composure.
If you want to take the initiative in your interactions with Zhao Xun, you can't be too enthusiastic.
And girls themselves have to be reserved. This has nothing to do with Li Taiping's status as county head.
After a short time, Zhao Xun was led by the servants of the palace, passing through the moon gate and walking towards the pavilion.
"Your Highness the County Lord, you have lost weight."
The first words Zhao Xun said when he saw Li Taiping made Yonghe County Lord unstoppable.
Have I lost weight?
She instinctively touched her cheek with her bare hands, and was really surprised when she found that it was really sunken.
Why is this?
"Your Majesty, lovesickness is the most painful thing. I understand your thoughts best."
Zhao Xun came prepared. When it came to the golden words for flirting with girls, Zhao Xun was not arrogant. The entire Great Zhou Empire probably could not find a match.
The relationship between Zhao Xun and Li Taiping has always maintained a delicate balance.
Taking a step forward will make you appear closer, taking a step back will make you appear farther away.
"you…"
Li Taiping didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhao Xun said everything, and Li Taiping really didn't know what to say.
"Not seeing you for one day is like three autumns. Your Majesty, I tossed and turned last night and really couldn't sleep. So, after returning from the academy, I went to the Yamen and rushed straight to Prince Qi's Mansion."
Zhao Xun had already written a manuscript, and his words were like a torrent of river water, continuous and continuous.
Li Taiping listened quietly, enjoying this state of affairs.
Don’t talk too much about love, no matter how sad it is.
This is Zhao Xun’s experience in flirting with girls for many years.
Love words are especially effective for girls like Li Taiping who are new to the world.
Of course, Zhao Xun is by no means a sea king or a hot dog, but a warm man.
He is a warm man with connotation.
After chatting for a long time and seeing that the groundwork was almost done, Zhao Xun sighed: "What a pity. I thought I could spend more time with His Highness the County Lord recently, but who knew that another major case was suppressed? Your Majesty was furious and asked the bad guys to be arrested within ten days."
Find out the truth within five days. During this period, I am very busy."
Zhao Xun brought it out naturally, without any deliberate effort.
Sure enough, Li Taiping frowned when he heard this and said, "Why is this happening? Is there something wrong with the feng shui in the capital recently? Why are cases happening one after another?"
"Who knows..."
Zhao Xun spread his hands and looked innocent.
"What case?"
Zhao Xun deliberately held back his words, and as expected, Li Taiping took the initiative to ask.
"The case of Princess Xuanhuai."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Princess Xuanhuai's tomb has been robbed. I am actually not familiar with this princess. After consulting some files in the archives, I only have a general understanding."
"Princess Xuanhuai..."
Li Taiping's expression changed, and there was a hint of panic on his face, but she quickly hid it.
Sure enough there is a problem here!
Zhao Xun naturally caught Li Taiping's micro-expression.
He knew that as long as he dug deeper step by step, he would be able to learn more about this princess who had been dead for decades.
"Your Majesty, can you help me? I have no clue now. If this continues, I will definitely be scolded by Mr. Feng."
"this…"
Li Taiping seemed a little embarrassed. He wanted to speak several times but swallowed the words again.
Zhao Xun knew that Li Taiping must know some royal secrets and could not easily tell outsiders.
Zhao Xun didn't rush him at this time. He knew that haste makes waste, and he would only speak out without reservation after Li Taiping figured it out for himself.
After a long time, after a fierce ideological struggle, Li Taiping sighed and said: "Zhao Xun, do you want to know what happened to Princess Xuanhuai back then?"
"May I know?"
"Yes, but you have to promise not to mention it to outsiders."
Zhao Xun nodded: "I promise never to mention it to anyone."
"This is considered a taboo of the royal family. I have only heard some mentions from my father..."
Li Taiping hesitated for a moment, sighed and then spoke.
