People came and went on the street, but they did not block their sight.
Looking at each other, the expressions of the two of them seemed to pause slightly.
Generally speaking, when strangers look at each other, there will be a layer of embarrassment in their hearts, and there is an illusion of peeking at the captured bag. Even if it is just a coincidence, they will subconsciously want to avoid it.
But at the moment, neither of the two avoided, just staring at each other so blatantly.
It is not surprising that the monarch has such confidence. After all, he is the Son of Heaven. He will openly look at whoever he wants. On the contrary, the person who is looking at him should immediately bow down and feel the aura of his ninth-five honor. Resolutely look away.
Xiao Heng looked away, but he was not guilty or embarrassed. His expression was very calm, like an ice lake without waves.
The monarch still looked at Xiao Heng for a moment.
Zhang Dequan had a panoramic view of the monarch's expression, and he thought something bad. He forgot that the monarch and Queen Xuanyuan met at the gate of Lingbo Academy.
Empress Xuanyuan likes to kick Juju, and Lingbo Academy has the largest kicking field in Shengdu.
The monarch went to school in Lingbo Academy. Once, he was knocked unconscious by a polo thrown by Queen Xuanyuan when he was passing by the juju field.
He fell to the ground and opened his eyes to see Empress Xuanyuan who came to investigate his injuries.
Afterwards, the monarch told Zhang Dequan's godfather, the former chief of the inner circle, that he had seen a fairy.
Zhang Dequan could not speculate on the monarch's mind, but he was certain that the monarch had deep feelings for Empress Xuanyuan.
In the years when Empress Xuanyuan was put into the cold palace, the monarch did not let people report the news of the cold palace every day.
Queen Xuanyuan had countless opportunities to come out of the cold palace, but she herself was unwilling.
Rather than saying that the monarch imprisoned Queen Xuanyuan in the cold palace, it is better to say that Queen Xuanyuan did not want to see the monarch again until she died.
"Do these eyes look a bit like the Empress Xuanyuan back then? The monarch must have taken a fancy to others and want to bring them into the harem?" Zhang Dequan muttered in a low voice, and he was frightened by this guess.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
The little princess was dissatisfied with the monarch's trance, and jumped up to pull the monarch's sleeve down the window.
Unfortunately, dragged a lonely.
The monarch retracted his gaze, looked at her and said, "I made friends on the first day. It seems that you like it very much here."
"Well, I like it!" The little princess nodded.
This is the first time that the little princess has shown great interest in going to school. The monarch is quite satisfied. Sure enough, sending someone here is the right one: "Then do you still come to school tomorrow?"
The little county owner hurriedly said: "It's coming!"
Not only will I come by myself, but I will also bring birds here to compete with my friends!
The king said, "I don't have time to send you tomorrow."
The little princess snorted: "I can go myself!"
Do you really like it here
This morning, I don't know who is holding his thigh and crying, don't abuse her, don't punish her to come so far to go to school.
The king said: "Get in the car and go back to the palace."
"I'll tell them!" The little princess rushed over and said politely to Xiao Jingkong and Xiao Heng, "Goodbye Jingkong, goodbye Sister Jingkong!"
Xiao Jingkong waved his hand: "Goodbye."
The little princess and Zhang Dequan, who was holding a book bag, returned to the carriage.
It was the first time that the little princess made friends of the same age. It was very novel. The wheels were turning, and she couldn't help lying on the window, stretched out her little head, and waved at Xiao Jingkong: "See you tomorrow, Jingkong! "
Xiao Jingkong also waved to his little playmate: "See you tomorrow, Xiaoxue!"
The carriage came from the rear and gradually approached Xiao Jingkong and Xiao Heng. The moment they passed each other, the pure friendship between the two Xiaodouding was greatly sublimated in their goodbyes.
The monarch was also able to take a close look at Xiao Heng.
Xiao Heng didn't look at the monarch anymore.
The carriage was far away, and the little county owner was still lying on the window and waving at his little friend.
And the monarch's eyes are always looking in the direction of Lingbo Academy.
Zhang Dequan's heart is shaky, the monarch doesn't really like it, right? Have a face, Your Majesty, that's your niece's classmate's sister.
Zhang Dequan bit his head and asked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites seems to have come to ask a few days ago, is there still no draft selection this year?"
"Yeah." The king replied in a deep voice.
Zhang Dequan breathed a sigh of relief.
It should be unimpressive to respond so bluntly.
In other words, he is just a student of Canglan Academy. What kind of heart does he have in his relationship with him
After the monarch and the small county master left, Xiao Heng also took Xiao Jingkong's hand and returned to the Canglan Academy next door.
Han Shizi came out of the wing room on the second floor of a tea shop near Lingbo Academy, and was about to go to Canglan Academy to arrest someone, when suddenly a guard of the Han family came running on his horse, stopped in front of him, turned over and dismounted. Report: "Sir, the old man told you to go back! There is something important to discuss!"
The old man, the current head of the Han family, the grandfather of Han Ye.
Han Ye looked at Xiao Heng's retreating back and frowned, "You're lucky!"
Han Ye went back to the Han house non-stop.
The Han family held a solemn family meeting. Grandpa Han, the five elders of the Han family, and his father and second uncle were all there. Everyone discussed how to divide the military power of the Nangong family.
As the heir of the Nangong family, Nangong Li's death caused an irreparable blow to the Nangong family. Although the old man Nangong is still alive, he is getting old and Nangong Li's eldest brother is unbearable. However, with the help of the Han family, there was a little infighting.
In short, the Nangong family is now a mess.
If you don't take this opportunity to divide the military power, it will be difficult to shake them when the Nangong family has overcome the current difficulties and the whole clan is single-minded.
As a junior, Han Ye didn't have much say in front of his grandfather and several clan elders, he just listened quietly.
His participation is not to offer advice, but as the future heir of the family, he has the right and duty to know any changes in the family.
Grandpa Han and the clan elders had disagreements. One party advocated to do it now and directly apply to His Majesty to transfer the Han family’s children to take over Nangong Li’s position in the army; Let the stumbling, let them go wrong, take the fact that the Nangong family has no successor, and then let the prince ask for the Han family.
Han Shizi thought to himself, what's the use of fighting infighting now? If the crown prince's status is not guaranteed, let alone the military power of the Nangong family, the Han family will also have to let go.
Han Ye is a person who can keep his temper, and he couldn't help but shake Xiao Liulang's affairs because he felt that they had made a mistake.
For two full hours, the old guys quarreled with spittle, but in the end they did not quarrel, and decided to continue quarreling tomorrow.
After all the elders left, Han Ye set off and returned to his yard.
The confidant guards walked over cautiously and reported in a low voice: "Sir, Lord Shao, who is beside the prince, has been here. I want you to visit the prince's mansion tonight."
Han Ye avoided everyone's sight and went to the Prince's Mansion.
In the middle of the night, the prince still hadn't rested.
"Your Highness."
In the study, Han Ye put down his black cloak and bowed to the prince who was standing in front of the window looking at the bright moon.
The prince waved his hand and turned around: "No need to be polite. How is the situation today? Has your majesty seen him?"
"I see." Han Ye said.
The prince's expression changed, and he stepped forward: "Then..."
Han Ye said: "He also saw His Majesty, but judging from the reactions of the two, His Majesty probably didn't recognize him."
Xiao Liulang was wearing the uniform of Canglan Women's Academy, and covered his face with a veil, which would be impossible for anyone to recognize.
The prince asked, "Where is Xiao Liulang? How did he react when he saw His Majesty?"
Han Ye said, "No response."
The prince frowned: "No response?"
Han Ye recalled what he saw and said with emotion: "He's a calm person, which is surprising."
How powerful is the king's aura? There are very few people who can turn a blind eye to the monarch without fear.
The prince said again: "He didn't say anything to His Majesty?"
Han Ye shook his head: "No, they didn't speak. His Majesty was sitting in the carriage, and he was standing at the door of Lingbo Academy."
The prince said thoughtfully: "Since I have seen it, why don't you speak?"
Han Ye analyzed: "I guess, either he doesn't know his background at all; or, even if he knows, he doesn't recognize His Majesty."
The crown prince clenched his fists, placed it on the window sill, and said with a deep gaze: "I can't let him see the monarch, if he tells the monarch about Nangong Li's assassination of him, and bites Gu Ji out, he will be afraid of being a prince. It's done too."
The monarch may not favor his wife, or even kill his wife, or more royal blood, but it does not mean that others can, and the power of life and death can only be in the hands of the monarch himself!
Han Ye was surprised: "How come? Your Highness is the Crown Prince!"
The crown prince sneered: "Shangguan Yan was once a princess! Did you see that the monarch showed mercy to her? When he deposed her, he was not at all soft-hearted. This lonely father is the most ruthless. Besides, don't forget , King Ling, King Xu, and King Li are all eyeing the crown prince, and none of these lone brothers is a fuel-efficient lamp! If they make any mistakes, they will end up in pieces!"
Han Ye fell silent.
The prince looked at the bright moon in the sky: "Ye'er."
Han Ye cupped his hands: "Your Highness."
The prince said softly, "I want him, but I won't see the sunrise tomorrow morning."
…
In the palace, the little princess who had been noisy all day finally stopped.
The emperor's bedroom returned to its usual quiet.
The little princess was favored, and many women in the harem wanted to take the little princess to their dormitory to take care of them, but they were all declined by the little princess.
The little princess looked stupid, but she was more sensitive than most children without a mother since childhood.
She could feel that in this deep palace, only the monarch and uncle really liked her without any purpose.
So she was only willing to stay in the king's bedroom.
Her little bed was beside the king's dragon bed, covered with her favorite pink drapery.
The monarch sat behind the desk and reviewed the memorials, listening to her even small breathing, and her expression appeared in a trance for a moment.
Zhang Dequan carefully turned the wick a little brighter.
This is the eighth time that the monarch has been in a trance, and it was like this when he returned from Lingbo Academy.
Zhang Dequan didn't dare to pierce it, let alone ask, so he could only remind him in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's getting late at night, take a rest."
The king asked, "What time is it?"
Zhang Dequan replied, "It's almost time."
The monarch put down the memorial: "I go out for a walk."
"This..." Zhang Dequan didn't have the guts to stop him, so he had to put on the lantern and left the palace with the monarch.
The king came all the way to the cold palace.
He stood in front of the already dilapidated cold palace gate, and stood for a long time without speaking.
Zhang Dequan secretly thought that it was the bad thing that happened to the female student today. Those Ruifeng eyes really looked more and more like the eyes of Queen Xuanyuan.
Zhang Dequan was bitten all over his face. He played the lantern with one hand and fanned the monarch with the other.
Leng Palace is overgrown with weeds, and the mosquitoes are very poisonous.
The monarch didn't seem to notice that he had been bitten several times. He just stared at the door of the cold palace, as if expecting that Queen Xuanyuan would come out.
But how is this possible
From the moment you wiped out her entire clan, she will never come out to see you again.
Zhang Dequan could only murmur a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more on his face.
"Your Majesty, there are too many mosquitoes here, you have to take care of your dragon body..."
"Who!"
In the middle of Zhang Dequan's words, the sound of stepping on a branch suddenly came from the cold palace, and the monarch shouted loudly.
Zhang Dequan was stunned.
The monarch stepped forward quickly and pushed open the gate of the cold palace, only to see a figure jumping out from the wall.
"Escort!" Zhang Dequan hurriedly spread his hands in front of the monarch.
The king said indifferently: "It's gone."
Zhang Dequan thought, "That person's back looks a little familiar..."
The king said: "Shangguan Yan."
Is it a wife
It is not surprising that she is a wife.
She was watched during the day, and only at night could she slip out to cherish the memory of Empress Xuanyuan.
"She went over there and sent someone to take a look."
"Yes."
Zhang Dequan called the palace guards nearby and asked them to catch up and take a look, but don't be alarmed.
After a while, a few people came to report back, and the person in the lead murmured, "Abandoned concubine... I got out of the palace through a dog's hole."
The monarch's face became very exciting. He gritted his teeth and said, "Drilling through a dog hole? Shangguan Yan, you really give me a face!"
Zhang Dequan pinched a cold sweat, too daughter, do you still remember that you are too daughter? Amnesia is not so freeing itself.
"Your Majesty..." Zhang De said wholeheartedly that I would bring someone to bring her back
The monarch's eyes were cold and he said, "Prepare the car! I want to see, she wants to leave the palace so late to make trouble for me!"
