After September, the weather gradually becomes cooler.
Princess Changning sat in front of the fence of Qushui Pavilion, looking at the koi in the pond.
"Princess." Xu Yin's voice came from behind.
Princess Changning turned around and smiled, then stood up to greet her: "Have you finished your work?"
"Well, just some daily chores." Xu Yin said, holding her arm, and the two of them returned to the fence and sat down.
Jin Shu immediately came up to serve tea.
Seeing that her arm was still wrapped in gauze, Xu Yin said: "I have told you many times that there are many maids working in the house. It is only proper for you to take good care of your injuries."
Jin Shu smiled, glanced at Dan Mo who was arranging his clothes, and replied: "Our injuries are almost healed. We don't do any heavy work on weekdays. We just bring tea and pour water for the princess. It's okay."
Princess Changning also said: "Yes, Xiao Man watched her very closely and wouldn't let her move before. Now that her injuries are almost healed, she agreed to allow them to do some light work. You see, my injuries are also healed."
It’s almost done.”
Xu Yin looked carefully at her outstretched hands. Sure enough, the cuts made by the thorns had healed, leaving only light pink scars.
"Why are there still scars? Didn't Doctor Huang prescribe medicine?"
Princess Changning pursed her lips and smiled: "It's only been a few days, it will subside slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Xu Yin looked at her and sighed secretly. After such a big change, the princess' temperament was completely different. If it had been her before, she would have complained hurriedly, saying that Dr. Huang's medicine was ineffective.
The two drank tea for a while, and Xu Yin whispered: "My sister's fiancé, Prince Li of Dongjiang, has returned."
Princess Changning was startled for a moment and looked up at her.
Li Wen has been here for several days. Princess Changning has been recuperating in Qushui Pavilion. She has only heard of such a thing, but has never seen anyone.
She knew that she was in an embarrassing situation. The Xu family did not dare to announce her identity. Once it was announced, it would cause a storm, so she understood that Li Wen did not come to visit and thought that Xu Yin would not mention it.
——Who am I now? Without her father and brother, she, the princess, is just a hot potato. It’s good enough that the Xu family still treats her respectfully. Do you expect them to immediately start an army to avenge her father and brother? Nanyuan didn’t
Such a powerful force is too embarrassing.
As for what the Xu family wanted to do with this news, she had no control or control.
Xu Yin glanced at the two girls. Princess Changning bit her lip and said, "Jinshu Danmo, I want to eat shredded chicken and sour bamboo shoot soup for lunch. You guys go to the kitchen and have a look."
The two girls looked at each other, bowed in agreement, and left.
Xu Yin continued: "You should have guessed what he came for. Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are in trouble, King Duan has rebelled and usurped the throne, and the world is about to be in chaos. We all have to deal with it, so we invited him here."
Princess Changning was not sure what she meant and said hesitantly: "I know, you don't need to tell me specifically."
"No, I must tell the princess." Xu Yin looked into her eyes and spoke softly, "The princess lives here, no matter how respectful we are, we will feel uneasy. What will we do, how will we treat you in the future... I don't
I hope that because of your 'self-knowledge', you feel that you are incapable of interfering and become increasingly depressed, which will damage our friendship over time."
Princess Changning moved her lips, and a glimmer of water appeared in her eyes: "Ayin..."
"We are friends, so we must treat each other sincerely. As long as the princess wants to know, I will tell you everything."
Princess Changning's tears fell down, and she couldn't help but stretched out her arms to hug her, crying: "Ayin, I have no ability. I want to avenge my father and brother, but I can't do anything... I hope you can defeat the rebels."
Thief, but I know this is too much to ask for, so I dare not say..."
Xu Yin stroked her gently and said: "My father and brother were killed, and the princess's thoughts are not excessive. It is natural. If someone harms my father and sister, I will kill him even if I travel to the ends of the world!"
Just like Fang Yi in her previous life, she would send him to hell even if she died!
When she stopped crying, Xu Yin helped wipe away her tears and continued: "Besides, King Duan has conspired to usurp the throne, and the whole world will fight against it. But things have to be done step by step. We in Nanyuan are not strong enough. If we raise troops now, we will
He wants to stand out, so my father is not taking a stand at the moment."
Princess Changning nodded: "I understand."
Xu Yin looked at her carefully: "Princess, can you accept this cruel fact? The Great Zhou Dynasty is about to run out of energy."
Princess Changning was silent for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh: "After the Green Forest Rebellion, the members of the Gao family's royal family withered away. Apart from my father, there were only King Duan, King Yi and some side bloodlines left. Now that the emperor's uncle has rebelled, those of me
My brothers are probably gone too, so why should I care if Dazhou can continue?"
Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "If King Duan kills the king, the world will not recognize him. So the world will soon be in chaos, and then all the heroes will compete with each other until the common leader is decided."
"That you……"
Xu Yin patted her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, princess, as long as the time is right, we will raise an army to fight against the rebellion. This time, we invited Prince Li here just to deal with this matter. Our Nanyuan power is not big, so the first
The first step is to form an alliance. My sister's marriage has been brought forward and she will get married next month. As for me, if the Duke of Zhao wants to get married, my father will agree."
"Yan Er?" Princess Changning showed a long-lost smile and teased, "You have admitted it."
Xu Yin pursed his lips and smiled: "If we can establish an alliance with these two families, we will be confident."
"Yeah." Princess Changning nodded obediently and counted on her fingers, "Dongjiang, Nanyuan, Guanzhong, these account for three or four out of ten in the world, right? There is hope of defeating the emperor's uncle."
Xu Yin smiled and nodded, watching as her face finally regained some vitality.
"Don't worry, I know it well." Princess Changning said, "I'm not in a hurry. I will hold back my sorrow and wait for the day when you help me take revenge."
Xu Yin couldn't help hugging her again, and said softly: "This month's 23rd is my fifteenth birthday. My father invited Princess Da Liang to give me a hairpin ceremony. Can you be the one to give me a compliment?"
Princess Changning was so excited and moved that she couldn't help but raise her voice: "Really? Can I do it?"
"You are my good friend and sister, of course you can."
Princess Changning immediately became worried again: "Then how are you going to introduce me? Will this expose my existence? Will it bring you trouble?"
Xu Yin said: "Just say the name, so what if they guess it? We don't say the princess is here, we just don't want to get into a fight too early, not because we are afraid of them."
Princess Changning breathed out: "That's good."
She narrowly winked at Xu Yin: "We're going to get married when we get hairpins, right? Then I'll wait to drink your wedding wine."
