The capital streets were bustling with people, and crowds of people gathered on both sides of the streets to watch Princess Beiteng being escorted into the palace by a large number of guards.
I saw two groups of guards walking on both sides of the street. In the middle was a luxurious sedan chair. On the sedan chair was a light purple flower curtain. The breeze blew through the curtain and created layers of purple waves, which was very beautiful in an instant.
In the sedan chair, He Yilan's face was rosy, her skin was like cream, her apricot eyes seemed to be shining with light, and her lips, which were soft but delicate, had a slight smile, which was soft and charming.
She wore a butterfly-playing Luo brocade skirt, a simple flying moon bun, and a begonia pearl in her hair. As the sedan chair moved forward, she swayed leisurely, adding a touch of elegance to her simple and elegant dress.
Partly charming.
She stared at the onlookers, her eyes scanning the crowd, as if looking for that familiar figure.
But until the sedan chair arrived in front of the palace gate, she didn't find that figure, and there was a hint of disappointment on her pretty face.
Seeing the disappointed look on He Yilan's face, the maid beside her quickly reminded her softly: "Your Royal Highness, the sedan carriage has arrived in front of the palace gate. After passing this palace gate, you will enter the palace. Your Royal Highness, the princess, must show your joy.
Just a little bit!”
He Yilan frowned, looked up at the vermilion palace door in front of her, sighed secretly, turned to look at the maid beside her, and lowered her voice: "I understand, princess."
A group of guards entered the palace gate and went straight to Taihua Palace.
After a stick of incense, the sedan chair stopped in front of the palace gate of Taihua Palace. A group of palace maids and eunuchs came out to greet you, knelt down and bowed their heads and said: "Slave, please see the princess!"
He Yilan got off the sedan chair, glanced at the kneeling palace maids, and said: "Everyone, get up!"
Several palace maids stood up after thanking him and welcomed He Yilan into the Taihua Palace. One of the older palace maids led He Yilan and said, "The queen has said that if the princess doesn't like the palace,
The furnishings can be replaced by those in the Taihua Palace."
He Yilan glanced at the yard. The fragrance of flowers was lingering. There was a small bridge running over the water in the yard. There were blooming pink lotuses floating in the pond. It was fresh and elegant, and the layout was simple, but not without nobility, which suited her perfectly.
.
She stopped next to a rhododendron, smelled the fragrance of azalea, and said, "The Queen is interested. I wonder how far the Taihua Palace is from the Queen's Nianxue Pavilion."
The palace maid said respectfully: "Back to princess, the distance between Taihua Palace and Nianxue Pavilion is only a cup of tea."
He Yilan raised her beautiful eyebrows, turned to look at the palace maid, and said: "This princess is entering the palace today. She should go to the Queen to ask for a gift of thanks. You will lead the way."
After hearing this, the palace maid lowered her head and said: "The queen has given orders. The princess has just entered the palace and is weak. She needs to have a good rest and not rush to Nianxue Pavilion to pay her respects."
He Yilan frowned, looked at the azaleas in front of her, pondered for a few seconds, and then said, "That's fine."
In the Nianxue Pavilion, Mu Tianxue was sitting in the courtyard sipping tea carelessly. When she saw the red peony root entering the courtyard, she put down the tea cup in her hand and said, "Have you been taken into the palace?"
Hongshao walked up to her and said respectfully: "Back to the queen, Princess Yilan has already moved into Taihua Palace."
A faint smile appeared on Mu Tianxue's lips, "Go ahead, Princess Beiteng is a distinguished guest of the imperial dynasty, and she will be well served."
"Yes, the Queen," Hong Shao responded respectfully, but there was a look on her face that was hesitant to speak.
Why did the Queen Mother give the order to bring Princess Beiteng into the palace? Doesn’t this mean that the Queen Mother wants to accept the princess who is getting married?
"What's the matter, you have something to ask?" Mu Tianxue saw Hong Shao's puzzled look, but always hesitated to speak, so he asked, "Do you want to ask why Princess Beiteng was brought into the palace?"
Hongshao nodded nervously and said in confusion: "The emperor only has deep love for the empress, and has not agreed to the marriage with Beiteng Kingdom at all. Doesn't the empress also disagree with Princess Beiteng and Guan Dynasty? Why did he order Princess Beiteng to be brought in?
palace?"
Mu Tianxue crossed her legs, played with a strand of black hair on her chest, and said with a smile: "I have my own reasons for bringing her into the palace. Do you think it is easier to deal with the enemies under the nose, or the enemies lurking in the dark?
"
Hong Shao's eyes lit up, "The Queen Empress took her into the palace to monitor her in order to prevent Princess Beiteng from secretly contacting Prince Hexuan who was lurking in Kyoto?"
Mu Tianxue smiled meaningfully and waved, saying: "That's bad, that's bad!"
Hong Shao's face was full of confusion. Didn't the Queen think so?
Seeing Hong Shao's puzzled face, Mu Tianxue smiled lightly, jumped up from the chair, patted his clothes, and said to Hong Shao, "You go and prepare some food, I'll go to Tianlao for a walk."
After Hongshao responded, she immediately stepped back to prepare. After a while, she carried the lunch box from the kitchen and walked to the yard. "My Lady, everything is ready. I will accompany you."
"No need." Mu Tianxue took the lunch box from Hong Shao's hand and left Nianxue Pavilion.
In the sky prison, Lianyue leaned against the stone wall and stared blankly at the stone wall above her head. There was no expression on her face. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking about at the moment, or perhaps she was not thinking about anything at all.
"Princess, princess," Xi'er, who was already in tears beside her, shook her body and cried: "Princess, please say something, even if it means crying, you can't do this.
"Shut up, if you don't cry, it will hurt your body. Don't scare me!"
Since being imprisoned in the sky prison last night, the princess has not said a word, has not cried or made any fuss, and has just been in a daze.
No matter what method she used, the princess remained silent, sometimes laughing, sometimes expressionless, as if she was a body that had lost its soul.
She would rather the princess would cry like she did a few days ago and talk to her when she was sad, rather than suppress all the pain and despair in her heart like she did now.
For many months, Xi'er's call turned a deaf ear, and she looked into the void with empty eyes, as if she saw scenes from the past. In the pictures were her father and brother who loved her, and her mother and queen who were reluctant to part with her in tears before parting.
There are also the happiest scenes from childhood.
In the blink of an eye, those scenes flashed away, replaced by the army pressing the border. She was tied to the city gate and looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the city gate. She looked at the imperial brother who led the troops to attack the city. Finally, she saw
His head rolled off the city gate.
Tears flowed down involuntarily, and the pain centered on her heart quickly spread to her limbs, making her unable to breathe, and her brain fell into a brief suffocation.
Her father, who had been like a treasure to her since childhood, treated her like a pawn and pushed her into the abyss. The imperial brother who loved him in the past was no longer what he was before, and because of her persistence, the person she loved the most almost died.
If she had not insisted on staying at the beginning, how would she have become a pawn, and how would she have given the eight imperial guards a chance to assassinate Long Chenyi.
It was all her fault. The fault was that she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have loved.
The mistake was that she couldn't get it, but she still wanted to get it.
