princess is everywhere

Just when Anyang was knocking sideways to find out what happened back then, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Xu Mu, Xu Mu had already left the palace.

She is a border general who returns to Beijing to report on her duties. She has no position in Beijing and China, so naturally she doesn't have much official duties to speak of.In addition, she planned to stay longer when she came back this time, so even the Ministry of War was not in a hurry, and walked leisurely on the bustling streets of the capital after leaving the palace.

Xu Mu was born in the north and grew up at the border. In fact, there are not many opportunities to come to the capital, and he is not very familiar with this prosperous capital.The last time she came back was seven years ago, when she just came back from the grassland.The Northern Expedition was triumphant, and the first emperor was also overjoyed when he learned about it, so he announced her return to Beijing to reward her, but she took the opportunity of entering the palace to face the saint, and handed over the evidence of the king's collusion with the enemy.

It's a pity that Xin Wang is too cunning, the letter was not written by him, and even the seal is fake.Even though many people knew at that time that King Xin was guilty, the first emperor still thought of his brotherhood and saved King Xin from death.

King Xin was only expelled from the fiefdom, and Xu Mu, who reported on King Xin, did not fare well—when he was young and vigorous, Xu Mu even thought about taking advantage of the opportunity of King Xin to leave the capital to take up the feudal domain, secretly leading his own soldiers to intercept and kill him. up.Of course it didn't work out in the end, and the royal family wasn't that easy to kill. The late emperor also got tired of her stubbornness, and drove her back to the northern border.

After that, Xu Mu never returned to the capital. Even though the barbarians in the north fled far away, the late emperor dispatched her to fight everywhere and made great achievements in battle, and he never called her back to the capital again.She did not return to the capital until Jinshang succeeded to the throne.

Seven years have passed, and the prosperity of the capital remains the same, even more so than before.

Xu Mu walked on the street with his horse, watching the young masters in brocade clothes walking together, the scholars in Confucian shirts and scarves talking loudly, and seeing the traffickers walking along the street... There is a prosperity that is not found in the northern border, and there is something that the northern border does not have. of tranquility.

While walking, Xu Mu suddenly stopped in front of a small stall.

The person who set up the stall was an old woman with gray hair. She simply spread a piece of cloth on the ground in front of her, and put some gadgets on it.Such as rattle drums, tiger-head shoes, tiger-head hats, etc., are all small things for children, not exquisite and expensive.

The old woman had been guarding the stall for a long time, and finally saw someone stop, and hurriedly looked up.Seeing that it was a young man wearing an official robe, he subconsciously became a little cautious, and asked carefully: "My lord, what did you fancy? These are all made by the old woman and her family, and the workmanship is very careful. Take a look. But if you like it, it’s good to take it home to amuse the children.”

Xu Mu was slightly taken aback when he heard this, she didn't have a child to coax, and it wasn't for the purpose of coaxing children.But she couldn't tell anyone this, so she knelt down, picked up a puppet from the stall, and asked, "How much is this?"

Seeing that she really intended to sell, the old woman lost a little timidity on her face, and smiled wrinkledly: "Your Excellency, just give me twenty Wen."

The puppet in Xu Mu's hand was a little tiger, it was not big in his hand, but the old woman was deft in making the puppet alive.Xu Mu took a closer look at it, only to feel that the puppet tiger was full of vigor, and it was ten to ten like a certain little tiger in her memory.At that moment, she liked it a little in her heart, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she gave the money without hesitation.

The old lady was very happy to receive the money, and greeted warmly: "My lord, look at the others, what else do you like?"

Xu Mu waved his hand with the puppet and stood up: "No need, this is enough."

The old woman didn't force her when she heard the words, she smiled and took out a puppet to put on it, and said a customary greeting: "The old woman often sets up a stall here, if the child likes it, the adults will come again next time."

Xu Mu smiled, turned around and left without saying anything else - she didn't take this little tiger to amuse children, but she was going to give it to the noble eldest princess in exchange for her palace lantern.As for making the "return gift" by herself, she didn't agree, and she didn't waste time on these insignificant things.I don't know how the eldest princess will react when she receives this gift?

Thinking of this, Xu Mu looked at the tiger puppet with more meaning.But just when she was about to put the puppet away, the street suddenly became lively, but a team passed by, and there were too many servants and guards, almost blocking the street.

This is not a big deal in the capital, there are too many princes and nobles here, and everyone travels like this.

The common people are used to it, and when they saw this situation, they avoided it one after another, and the stall operators quickly closed their stalls, and quickly made way for them.

The other party was not considered a nuisance, so Xu Mu didn't care much when he saw this, he casually glanced at it and planned to lead his horse away.But at this glance, her gaze suddenly froze, and the hand holding the rein gradually tightened...

In the queue not far away, surrounded by servants and guards, is a gorgeous carriage.When Xu Mu glanced over, the curtain of the carriage just opened, revealing a middle-aged man in a python robe and a gold crown inside—Xu Mu had only seen that man twice, once at the Xuanzheng Hall and once at the gate of the capital.But even if it was just a quick two-face many years ago, it was enough for her to remember this face deeply.

What a coincidence, or as expected, all the people who should come have arrived.

****************************************************************************

In the palace, outside the Xuanzheng Hall, Anyang finally got on the sedan chair and went back to the palace.

The Xuanzheng Palace was in the former dynasty, and it was quite a distance from the Yongning Palace, but Anyang didn't say a word on the way back to the palace.Dong Ling at the side looked at His Highness's face, but did not dare to speak, for fear of disturbing His Highness's thoughts.

Anyang's thoughts are really messed up right now, his mind is full of what the brother Huang just told her about the past.On the one hand, she was annoyed by Xin Wang's cunning, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for Xu Mu's experience. In the end, all her thoughts fell on the other news that the emperor told her--Xin Wang was coming to Beijing for an audience this year. The memorial said it would arrive at the beginning of the year.

This is actually not such unexpected news. After all, if the assassination on New Year's Eve succeeds, King Xin will have to take the next step.If he was far away in the fiefdom, even if the emperor in the capital died, he would not be able to do anything in time.

After all, there are more than one or two royal clans in Beijing, who is not ambitious?

According to the emperor, if the king of Xin has the heart of disobedience, now is a good time.First, he went to the fiefdom to hide his strength and bide his time for many years, and no one knew how much strength he had accumulated.The coming emperor had just ascended the throne not long ago, and the power in the court had not been taken into his hands, and his position was not very stable yet.It is much better to change the dynasty at this time than to worry about it after many years when the advantages will no longer exist.

Anyang always didn't care about these things. After listening to Brother Huang's analysis, he felt a little anxious, and then thought of Xu Mu, and asked at that time: "Xu Mu has a grudge against King Xin. I heard that she hasn't returned to Beijing for many years. What's the matter?" The next time you came back, it happened that the two bumped into each other?"

The emperor smiled after hearing this: "What a coincidence, I specially announced her return."

Then Anyang knew another secret, that is, the Xu family took refuge with the prince many years ago.Or in other words, the Xu family didn't take refuge in anyone, but just loyal to the prince.When General Xu died in battle, Xu Mu wanted to sue King Xin after he entered Beijing, and the emperor who was still the crown prince also intervened in it. In the end, Xu Mu angered the first emperor, which was the emperor's request.

Although many years have passed, King Xin is still the emperor's confidant, and it is even more impossible for Xu Mu to forget the revenge of killing his father.It was also a tacit understanding that the monarch and his ministers once again joined forces to eradicate King Xin.

As for the tacit understanding between the two, or what kind of plan they had, these emperors did not elaborate with Anyang any more.

Anyang didn't ask either, she naturally had her own sense of propriety, she knew what to ask and what not to ask.It's just that after knowing these inside stories, she also realized the turbulent situation that was going to happen in Beijing, and raised Xu Mu's heart for no reason.

The palace man who carried the chariot had excellent leg strength, and walked fast and steadily all the way, and he had returned to Yongning Palace before Anyang recovered from his thoughts.

Only then did Dong Ling speak: "Your Highness, we are here."

Anyang nodded, and the brows that subconsciously frowned all the way relaxed a little.She got off the sedan chair, returned to her bedroom, thought for a while and told Dong Ling: "King Xin is going to the capital today, you send someone to watch when he arrives. Then send a few people to the general's mansion to watch, be careful." , don’t let anyone find out.”

Dong Ling naturally took orders, but after hearing Anyang's orders, he hesitated to speak.

It's not the first time Anyang saw this expression on Dong Ling's face, she didn't pay attention to it before, but now she had something on her mind but couldn't see it, and finally asked: "Dong Ling, what do you want to say?"

When Dong Ling heard the words, she glanced at Anyang cautiously, and then said insincerely: "I dare not."

Anyang couldn't understand her small thoughts, so he said angrily: "Speak up if you have something to say, what are you hesitating about?!"

Dong Ling has been by Anyang's side for many years, and the friendship between the two of them is naturally more than that of others. Some words that others dare not say, Dong Ling can also say a few words by Anyang's side.Therefore, hearing what the eldest princess said, Dong Ling hesitated for a while, but finally said: "Your Highness, I don't understand why you are so interested in General Xu all of a sudden?"

Anyang never concealed anything, and whenever he wanted to ask or investigate, he directly ordered Dong Ling to do it, because Dong Ling didn't talk too much.However, everything has a limit, at least in Dong Ling's heart, His Highness has already crossed this limit.

After Dongling's words, Anyang also realized this, but she didn't want to say: "You don't need to ask more about it."

Dong Ling stopped asking, and just said: "Your Highness intends, servants don't dare to comment, but I hope His Highness can listen to a word." She paused, seeing that Anyang didn't intend to tell her to shut up, so she continued Said: "My servant knows that you treat General Xu differently, but if you really want to, you might as well ask His Majesty..."

Anyang was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't comprehend what Dong Ling meant for a while.But she wasn't stupid anyway, and quickly realized that Dong Ling thought that she paid so much attention to Xu Mu because she liked Xu Mu, and asked her to ask the emperor for a marriage!

When she realized it, she couldn't help laughing, she wanted to say that Dong Ling really thought too much, it's not like she didn't know the secret of Xu Mu's disguise as a man, how could she be tempted by a fake boy?

But she couldn't say that.Not only was Xu Mu's secret unable to be revealed, but also because she had an intuition for no reason, as if if she said this, she might be slapped in the face in the future?
