Eunuch Yue clenched Fuchen's hand slightly, and then said: "What the young master said is that prosperity, decline, survival and death are all natural principles, and you can't get it by asking for it."

However, Eunuch Yue didn't know that Xie Yuan's tiny abnormal reactions had actually fallen into Xie Yuan's eyes, which made Xie Yuan more sure of what he was thinking.

However, he knew that if he made such a detour with Yue Gonggong, he might not be able to get him to admit it until dark, so Xie Yuan simply stopped concealing it and said: "Natural principles, my father-in-law said it very lightly, but please ask my father-in-law." Ask your own heart, hide your name in the palace, or even lower your status to be a palace man, just pass your life like this, all your abilities are useless, Uncle Shi, are you really willing?"

Eunuch Yue suddenly raised his head and said, "Uncle Shi...? Who are you!?"

Xie Yuan's expression suddenly became a little sad, and said: "Uncle Shi may not remember me, but I still remember Uncle Shi clearly... Back then, if Uncle Shi and Brother Heng hadn't rescued me from the sea of ​​fire, Now... how can there be such a person?"

Eunuch Yue moved his lips twice, his eyes turned red, and he said, "Are you... Xiao Yuanyou?"

Xie Yuan lowered his head, made a deep bow and said, "My nephew is unfilial, I'm pleading guilty to Uncle Shi..."

Eunuch Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help Xie Yuan up, looked him over carefully from head to toe, then sighed, and said, "You are... so old, it's thanks to you that you still remember me after so many years. ..."

Xie Yuan said: "When I saw those jade towers back then, I knew that Uncle Shi must still be alive."

Eunuch Yue shook his head helplessly, with some reminiscence in his eyes, he said to himself: "Yulou..."

When the royal family moved their capital in the previous dynasty, they needed to build another imperial palace. The Yue family in southern Xinjiang was well-known, and the emperor summoned the whole Yue family to Chang'an with an imperial decree, including Yue Bai, who was still very young at the time, who is now disguised as a palace man. father-in-law.

At that time, countless craftsman families wanted to win the favor of the royal family, and spent a lot of money to build relationships, just hoping to climb this high branch.However, in the end, the Yue family, who was far away in southern Xinjiang and had never paid half a penny, won the championship in one fell swoop, which angered many craftsman families in the capital and even the dignitaries behind them.

Therefore, after Yue Shi had confirmed the standard of the imperial palace, these people jointly submitted a statement, claiming that the imperial palace designed by Yue Shi had a demonic wind from the southern border, which would damage Daqin's luck.

The emperor believed it was true, and was furious immediately. An imperial decree put the whole Yue clan into prison.

And Yue Bai is the main writer of the Yue family.At that time, he was only focused on construction and design, how could he understand the turmoil in the temple, once he was arrested, he really thought that his design was too crude, which made the emperor unhappy.

The Yue family first came to the capital, and they were not familiar with the place where they lived, so it didn't matter that they could take care of them. Seeing that they were going to be executed all over the house, Yue Bai was sweating profusely in prison from the very beginning, until he begged to see the emperor several times later. , I knew very well that bad luck was bad, and I was already desperate.

However, on the night before he asked to be killed three days ago, a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old came to him.

She has crooked eyebrows and a snow-white jade hairpin in her black hair. According to the guards around her, she is the daughter of the emperor's late brother. She grew up in the palace and is one of the emperor's most beloved princesses.

She didn't dislike the filth in the prison, she squatted down in front of him with her skirt up, her eyes were bright, she propped her chin with one hand, and asked him with a smile: "Hey, big fool, I can save you and your people!" , but there is a condition, are you willing?"

Yue Bai didn't believe that this girl he didn't even know could really save him. He only wanted to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and said without even thinking about it: "Okay, I will agree to any conditions."

The girl smiled, very happily, and said: "Then it's settled, after you get out, you want to marry me."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and bounced away, leaving a series of crisp ringing bells on her body.

Yue Bai didn't think that she could really take over the Yue family, and he forgot about it after that time.

However, three days later, the jailer opened his cell door and said, "Let's go, Mr. Yue is innocent, you can go."

He returned home in disbelief, and after escaping, he cried with his clansmen.Later, he found out that Princess Changning knelt in front of the emperor's study for two days and one night, neither eating nor drinking, until she fainted on the steps and finally begged the emperor for mercy.

The girl's smile from that day was still lingering in front of his eyes, and it was only then that he slowly recalled that it was not that he had never met Princess Changning.

His father's fief is in southern Xinjiang.

And when I was a child, I often followed my father to visit the palace in southern Xinjiang. At that time, there was a little girl with a runny nose in the palace, who always loved to pester him.

Looking back, everything in southern Xinjiang seemed like a dream, and Yue Bai couldn't remember clearly.

However, what made him a little bit disappointed was that, for some reason, after that, Princess Changning met him, but didn't mention the marriage he promised that day, as if it was just a joke of hers, but Only if you take it seriously.

He looked at her at the banquet in the palace, talking and laughing at Yanyan, bright and moving, I don’t know how many princes and nobles courted her. Skewers of candied haws.
