"Little Tangtang, is your wedding ceremony ready?" The fifth princess suddenly remembered this, and hurriedly asked her, who already felt a little bored.
"It's fixed, it will be on the eighth day of the next month." Tang Junyao replied.
"I want to be a liker!" The fifth princess' eyes lit up and she said loudly.
"I originally planned to invite you!" Tang Junyao pursed her lips and smiled, she hadn't considered anyone other than the Fifth Princess at all.
The fifth princess was very happy, she walked quickly to her side, took her hand and looked up and down, and finally said with a consoling look: "My little Tang Tang has finally grown up, and I don't know how cheap it will be in the future. What stinky boy."
When talking about the stinky boy, she winked at Tang Junyao and smiled badly.
Tang Junyao of course understood that she was alluding to He Shaoting, but she just pretended not to understand and blinked innocently.
The fifth princess smiled, pinched her face, and lowered her voice to tease: "Pretend, you continue to pretend to this princess!"
Liang Yuyan was stunned, then walked over with a smile: "It turns out that sister Yunyao's wedding ceremony is coming soon, and I only found out just now."
"The date was finally set last night, and the post has not yet been written, so I haven't had time to inform everyone." Tang Junyao replied with a smile.
The girl in front of her has an apricot face and peach cheeks, a pair of dark and bright eyes, watery eyes, eyebrows that are not drawn, and lips that are not dotted. Very people.
Her eyes were a bit complicated, but she quickly concealed the past and said with a smile: "Just now, Wu Huangmei said something but she was right, my sister looks like a flower and jade, and I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future. "
Although she had a smile on her face and her tone was very calm, Tang Junyao could still hear the tentative meaning in her words, and was even more puzzled at the moment, only pretending to be shy and leaning on the fifth princess.
The five princesses laughed more and more maliciously: "It must be the best man in the world to be worthy of it!"
Liang Yuyan smiled and was about to leave when Gong E walked in and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has picked up Niangniang and returned to the palace."
She was stunned, but the fifth princess covered her mouth and smiled: "The imperial sister-in-law hasn't been here for a while! The imperial brother hurriedly came to pick him up, and he really couldn't leave for a while."
Tang Junyao also looked at her and smiled.
The future Empress Liang was still very young, and her relationship with the Crown Prince was at its most harmonious. She had not yet been forced into embarrassment by her opponent and had to find a helper.
In fact, at this time, in the Crown Prince's East Palace, she was the only one who really had a reputation as a mistress, and the mortal enemy Li Concubine Hu Yanyi, who had made her devastated in her previous life, had not yet appeared.
"Let's go, let's return the royal sister-in-law to the prince and brother, so that he won't be in a hurry." The fifth princess smiled and hugged Liang Yuyan's arm and led her out.
Tang Junyao smiled and followed.
Outside the hall, Zhao Yuanyou stood quietly with his hands behind his back. Hearing the footsteps, he turned around and a helpless smile appeared on his face: "Jing An, did you do something wrong again?"
"How can I do bad things? I'm clearly being considerate of you! I heard you came, and I even sent the Queen's Sister-in-law to you. You said, am I being considerate?" The fifth princess smiled and said authentically.
Zhao Yuanyou was discussing politics in the imperial study just now. When he came out, he heard that the Crown Princess was in the Palace of the Fifth Princess. He thought that since he was on the way, he might as well pick her up and go home. I didn't expect to be teased by this ghostly five emperor sister.
He doted on the authentic: "Yes, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess is really a considerate girl."
After a pause, he said, "Sister Yunyao is also here! I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just have good news to tell my sister."
Tang Junyao was curious: "Good news? What good news?"
"Fang Caigu heard good news from the father and emperor. The front line sent back a good news. General He defeated the enemy and was approaching the border of Dongdi."
"Really?!" Tang Junyao was surprised and delighted. After a year, she finally got the conclusive news of He Shaoting.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Master Tang when you go back." Zhao Yuanyou said with a smile.
"How could I not believe what His Royal Highness said." Knowing that He Shaoting had won the battle, Tang Junyao was very beautiful in his heart, and even his smile became brighter. stop.
Zhao Yuanyou couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
People in the world often say that seeing each other in one day is like three autumns apart. This girl and her crush have been separated for so long. Now that she has received good news from the other party, no wonder she has a bright smile.
Liang Yuyan watched them calmly, seeing Zhao Yuanyou and the fifth princess laughing for no reason, and Tang Yunyao also smiled with joy, and suddenly felt a strange feeling of being excluded.
It was not until she walked with Zhao Yuanyou on the palace road back to the East Palace that she asked casually, "My concubine looks at Sister Yunyao and seems to be very concerned about the front line, but she doesn't know why?"
Zhao Yuanyou naturally knew the reason, but it was not easy to tell her clearly. After all, Tang Junyao was still a girl who had not yet decided on a marriage relationship.
But he also didn't want to lie to her about it, he could only laugh without saying a word.
Seeing that he didn't even want to perfunctory herself, Liang Yuyan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she still smiled thoughtfully and stopped talking, not wanting to worry about the matter.
Zhao Yuanyou sent her back to the bedroom and went to the study room to review the documents sent by Emperor Tianxi. Liang Yuyan sat in front of the dressing table, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness is really considerate to the empress."
However, Liang Yuyan was a little absent-minded. Hearing this, she smiled slightly, thinking of the words she heard from Xu Tingwan earlier, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
In the past, when she went to Wuhuangmei's place, she did not see His Highness specially coming to pick her up, and she did not know if His Highness knew that Tang Yunyao had also entered the palace, so she went to see her in the name of picking up her.
Thinking again that Tang Yunyao was the candidate for Princess Yu who was favored by the first empress, and His Royal Highness was also willing at that time. Although she did not know what happened to make this marriage impossible, she could be used as a "substitute". It's a little bumpy.
She knew she shouldn't care about these things, but she couldn't control it. And looking at the ease and harmony of His Royal Highness with the Fifth Princess and Tang Junyao, this uncomfortable feeling became even stronger.
When Tang Junyao came back from the palace, he saw Tang Huaimian smiling at her at a glance, and quickly stepped forward in surprise: "Third brother, are you back?"
After thinking about it again, he smiled again: "Is it time to call Tang Juren?"
Tang Huaimian scratched the back of his head foolishly, and laughed.
"I said he was very smart, but he never wanted to spend more time studying. Otherwise, he would have passed the exam early in the morning, and would it have been delayed until now?" Tang Huaizhou also laughed.
"Your words are exactly the same as what my father said. Fourth younger brother, you can't do this. The fourth younger brother and sister have not yet come to the door, and you are already talking like an old man. Be careful of being rejected by the fourth younger brother and sister." Tang Huaimian smiled. typical.
Tang Huaizhou glared at him angrily, and simply ignored him.
"Daddy is back?" The three brothers and sisters had been together for a while before Tang Junyao asked.
"I came back a long time ago, and I'm talking with Cousin Chen in the study now!" Tang Huaizhou replied.
"Chen Zhaoyong? Is he here to pick up Tang Yunyu?" Tang Yunyao asked in surprise.
"It's him. Listening to what he said, he really came to pick up Tang Yunyu. At this moment, Tang Yunyu and her mother-in-law are with their grandmother, and her mother is also there."
Tang Huaimian also learned from Tang Huaizhou's mouth what happened in the big house while he was away from Beijing, and sighed: "Fortunately, everything is over now."
He thought for a while, and then asked suspiciously, "I remember that cousin Chen's grandmother loved him very much. How could he agree to his father's severance of father-son relationship with him and kick him out?"
"That's because his dandy image of accomplishing nothing is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he offends King Xin. Although the Qian family loves him, he cares more about his son, not to mention his father's concubine gave him a smart younger brother. ..." Tang Junyao replied meaningfully.
"The mother and son decided that he had offended King Xin all his life and would no longer be successful. Naturally, they put their hopes on the newly born young grandson and son, and naturally they would not care about this big one." Tang Huaizhou added. road.
In the past, Chen Zhaoyong was the only seedling, and was naturally spoiled. Now that he has grown up, he can't achieve anything and not only can't honor his ancestors, but also offend King Xin for causing trouble for the family. No matter how much Qian's love for him, at least half of it must be dispelled.
If someone with intentions provokes a few words from it, there is nothing that can't be done.
"I see, why is it so strange! I just didn't think that blood kinship could be broken so easily." Tang Huai mian sighed.
"Now Chen Guangjie and the others are not very happy, the industry has lost a lot, and they have offended a lot of people. That concubine can coax him to break away from his father-son relationship with Cousin Chen. The house is disturbed." Tang Huaizhou shook his head.
While the three brothers and sisters were talking, Chen Zhaoyong had already come out of Tang Songnian's study, and when he saw that the younger generation of the second and third rooms were all there, he suddenly became at a loss.
Especially seeing the slim Tang Junyao, thinking of what he had done, he was so ashamed that he couldn't dig a hole and get in.
Tang Junyao sized him up. If she met him outside, she couldn't believe that the dark-skinned, tall, thin man in front of her would be the fat, white, fat-chested, big-waisted Chen Zhaoyong.
It seems that he has grown through some hardships. she secretly said.
Sure enough, people have to experience setbacks to be more conducive to promoting growth.
That room, Mrs. Ruan had already brought Mrs. Jiang and Tang Junyu over, and handed the burden in her hands to Chen Zhaoyong, and said, "Take good care of your mother and daughter-in-law in the future."
Chen Zhaoyong lowered his head and responded softly.
"Where are you going next?" Tang Huaimian interjected.
"Huaiyao was exiled to Tongzhou, and now we don't even have a home. Why don't we go to Tongzhou? It can be considered to have a care with Huaiyao." Chen Zhaoyong replied.
"That's fine." Tang Huai nodded.
"What about Junyu? Do you want to go back and say goodbye to your aunt?" Tang Huaimian asked again.
"No, she didn't take me as a daughter for a long time, and I didn't need to come to my house to make fun of myself." Tang Junyu replied calmly.
She was persecuted by her father and brother that day, but her mother did not come forward to say a word to stop her, and she never thought of helping her escape from the tiger's mouth.
Such a mother is really too chilling, don't worry!
Tang Junyao was in a hurry to ask Tang Songnian more about He Shaoting. He didn't have the heart to listen to them. He walked quickly to the study with his skirt in hand, not noticing Tang Junyu's hesitant speech behind him. expression.
In the study, Tang Songnian was refilling himself with tea, and when he saw her come in, he just glanced up.
Tang Junyao didn't care about his attitude, and couldn't wait to go to the ground to ask, "Dad, has any news come back from Brother Ting?"
"Didn't you already know?" Tang Songnian replied calmly.
If you can ask this, you already know it.
Thinking of the brocade box that he had just thrown into the drawer out of sight, he felt unhappy again, and taught him: "The girl's family should be reserved, and it is not a child anymore. What a system!"
Tang Junyao was a little confused by his training, and then he finally realized that the old man seemed to be in a bad mood
"Dad, is brother angry with you again? Tell me, and I will teach him a lesson for you." She asked with concern.
"Your brother has been very obedient recently." Tang Song Young snorted.
Isn't it Mr. Tang, is it himself? She has been doing nothing in her own right.
She made an innocent expression of 'I'm not doing anything wrong'.
Tang Songnian glared at her again, and then reluctantly took out the brocade box in the drawer and threw it directly on the desk: "Well, someone sent it back from a public charity."
Tang Junyao was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly reached out and took it open, and saw a jade, pearl and plum blossom hairpin inside, and immediately took it to and fro and looked at it.
Tang Songnian couldn't look down on her appearance, so he said, "The things you sent back with the imperial convict along the way are worthy of your happiness. It's useless!"
Imperial court? Tang Junyao played with the plum blossom hairpin for a while, and after a little thought, he asked, "Could it be that Fangyi's remnants of the previous dynasty have been caught?"
"The one named Fangyi has been escorted back to Beijing, and the rest of the followers have already rectified the law on the spot." A murderous look flashed in Tang Songnian's eyes, "If you dare to plot against my daughter, how could I let her die so easily!"
"Dad is right, she can't let her die so easily, at least until the nephew who supports her wholeheartedly is captured, and she can see with her own eyes that all hope is completely cut off. But before that, she can't be allowed to live. It's too easy." Tang Yunyao's tone was quite cold.
Tang Songnian glanced at her thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Baoya, what are you hiding from me?"
Tang Junyao's heart skipped a beat, and asked incredulously, "Which aspect is Daddy referring to?"
"Knowingly asking." Tang Songnian glared at her again before saying, "Which aspect? It seems that you girl has concealed a lot of things from your father!"
Seeing Tang Junyao opening his mouth to speak, he immediately interrupted: "I don't care about you for the time being, just don't try to pretend to be stupid and vague for me, your little tricks to fool people, you father and I My heart is very clear. Tell me, what else did that guy named Fangyi do?"
Tang Junyao was choked by him, knowing that this time he would not let himself pass easily, bit his lips lightly, and lowered his eyes to hide the complexity in his eyes.
Tang Songnian didn't rush, and waited patiently while sipping tea.
Finally, he saw his daughter raised her head slowly, her eyes were slightly red, but there was undisguised hatred on her right face.
"Can Daddy believe that people go back to the past when they die?" he heard her ask.
"There are all kinds of things in the world. Although Dad has never encountered them, he doesn't dare to guarantee that they will not exist."
Tang Junyao took a deep breath: "Yes, I have experienced two lifetimes, and in the previous life, the way of Yaodao Xuanqing succeeded, Tang Yunyao died, and there is one more Xu Yun in the world since then. Yao."
Tang Songnian straightened his back all of a sudden, his eyes were full of incredulity, but he didn't interrupt her and listened to her continue.
"In that lifetime, I don't remember my parents, I don't remember my brother, I only thought that I was an orphan. Since I was a child, I was sold to various places as a slave and a maid, and I have experienced countless backseats at a young age. ."
"And these are all the trials that Fang Yi and others have given me, because they know very well that if they want to be promoted to the throne in the future, they must pass the test.
"However, she simply forgot that I was only a child at that time, so how could I stand it. When I was six years old, I was beaten to death because I was involved in the dispute over the master's back house."
Speaking of this, her body kept shaking, as if she couldn't hold back the grief and anger in her heart.
Tang Songnian was horrified, he couldn't believe what he heard.
If everything the daughter said was true, and there really was a previous life like that, then myself and my wife who lost their beloved daughter...
After he mistakenly thought that her daughter had passed away, Nguyen's series of mourning actions taught him to think that his heart still hurts. If it weren't for his daughter who survived later, he couldn't imagine what his wife would become.
His face was ashen, his hands clasped tightly, trying to suppress his body that was shaking with extreme anger.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Daddy will definitely get justice for you, and he will teach that bitch life is better than death!"
Tang Junyao whimpered and nodded.
It was not until she walked out of the study that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's dangerous, but this time the old man was finally concealed. There is no need to let him know about the flesh-and-blood fratricide in the previous life. The past is the past. If one more person knows, it will only be more painful for one more person.
The moment the door was closed again, Tang Songnian took a few deep breaths, then took a few sips from the tea cup, leaning back against the back of the chair, his eyes deep.
The little girl's ability to fool people has grown again! They all know how to say half a sentence and leave half a sentence. The truth and the false are mixed. After all, the easiest lie to win people's trust is the combination of the true and the false.
He believed that his daughter really had this adventure, and he believed that what she said was true, but he did not believe that she would die like that in her previous life.
