Although the princess left the palace to live in the court did not spread widely, Emperor Yongjia still felt wronged his daughter. Chu Ling moved out of the palace and actually took the princess out of the palace to move out of the palace and moved to the princess's mansion.

The court officials knew that Your Majesty was angry with them and did not stop them. Your Majesty wanted to love his daughter, and they also had to do what they should do. Otherwise, if Your Majesty continued like this, one day he might really have the idea of ​​passing the throne to his daughter and son-in-law. How did these old ministers explain to the ancestors of the Age of Revelation?

Chu Ling moved in the sunshine, and the mansion next to the Duke of Xiangguo Mansion was very lively in the morning. The mansion that had just been decorated was busy and ready to welcome the new master. On a huge gold-painted plaque above the gate of the mansion, there were a few big words written on it... The Princess Shenyou Mansion, but the inscription was written by Qingshui Mountain Mansion. Others don’t know who the Qingshui Mountain Mansion is, but the important officials in the court know it. Over the years, most of the calligraphy and paintings given to the court officials by Emperor Yongjia have mentioned this name.

The people of the Duke of Xiangguo also came to help early in the morning, and several nearby imperial edicts also brought their own big and small families to wait outside the princess's mansion. After all, others can think that if they don't know, they are a little unfavorable if they pretend not to know. In the future, they will be neighbors, even if they are not His Highness, they will have to get along well, right?

Although the Princess's Mansion was renovated, it was actually a new house that no one had lived in. The Tianqi court had just moved south, and many high-ranking officials and powerful people had no mansions. Pingjing originally had old nobles and rich people, so they could not steal other people's places. So the court built a large group of mansions around the original palace, which was now the imperial palace, to give homes to the powerful people who moved south. The size of this house next to the Duke of Xiangguo Mansion was slightly higher, so there was no suitable master and it was empty. Now it was just right to repair and give it to Princess Shenyou as a mansion.

Facing the street towards the palace, golden dragon chassis came from afar. The imperial guards in front of him were leading the way, and the eunuchs behind him were holding incense burners and other objects to guide the way. Then behind him were the dragon chassis carried by thirty-two people slowly moved forward. Emperor Yongjia was not an emperor who liked to show off. Usually, he rarely used such a solemn show when he went out. This time he spared no effort to support the scene for his daughter. Therefore, he naturally attracted passers-by to stop and watch, but because of the bright weapons in the imperial guards' hands, he dared to look from a distance and talk in a low voice and not to get too close.

In a teahouse not far from the intersection of the street, a man watched the dragon gallop slowly walk by and reached out to close the window. The light in the wing room was not as bright as the outside, and it looked even more dim as soon as the window closed. The man was tall and straight, but he looked very slim. He was wearing a navy blue cloth dress and a felt hat on his head. The curtains that were several inches long were just covering his eyes and nose. Only his slightly pursed lips and a small half of his face were exposed outside. He looked like an ordinary gangster.

Although Tianqi lived in a corner, Pingjing is still several times more lively than Shangjing, and is still the most prosperous and wealthy place in the world. The imperial court has weak control, and all kinds of people naturally come one after another. On the streets of Pingjing, especially in the outer city, you often see some gangsters or Western merchants, and not many people will be curious.

The man slowly took off the felt hat on his head and revealed a thin and handsome face. His facial features were deep and firm, and the wheat-colored skin seemed to make his appearance less color, but it also added a kind of wild and firm charm. However, his eyebrows were slightly frowning at this time, and he didn't feel very good. There was an inch-long scar on his left eye, which made him look more murderous.

If Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan were here, they would definitely recognize each other.

It was Tuoba Yin, the fourth prince of Northern Jin who had been missing for many days.

"Fourth Prince." A man walked in and lowered his voice.

Mop Yin looked at the other party and nodded and said, "What's the matter with me?" The man said, "Your Highness asks you when will you go back?" Mop Yin said, "What's the use of me going back now?" The man sighed and said, "Now Tuoba Liang is pressing step by step, and the Your Highness is alone in Shangjing. Does Your Highness bear to let Your Highness face Tuoba Liang's threats alone in Shangjing? Your Highness said, if Your Highness doesn't go back, it will be difficult to go back in the future. Tuoba Liang has sent a message to Emperor Tianqi to assist in the search of the Fourth Your Highness. If Your Highness falls into the hands of the Age of Qi, I'm afraid..." Even if Age of Qi does not kill Your Highness, how could Tuoba Liang have committed this good opportunity to eradicate the strong enemy and also blame Tianqi?

Tuoba Yin frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, saying, "I understand. I still have something to deal with in the Apocalypse. Go back immediately after the processing is done. Tell my elder brother, don't worry about me." Seeing that Tuoba Yin could not persuade him, the man could only nodded and said, "I understand. Now there are some undercurrents in Pingjing Imperial City. Please take care of your highness."

Tuoba Yin nodded, and the man quietly retreated. Tuoba Yin also put on a felt hat again. After a while, he stood up and picked up the sword on the table and walked out.

Chu Ling followed Emperor Yongjia from the dragon chasing and saw that the three layers inside and outside the three layers inside and outside the gate of the Princess Mansion were surrounded by people. Emperor Yongjia nodded to the couple of Xiangguo Duke's Mansion and pulled Chu Ling into the Princess Mansion. Chu Ling didn't even have time to explain a few words, so he had to nod apologetically to the Duke's wife Xiangguo. The Duke's wife understood and took the initiative to come forward to greet the powerful people who came to greet the princess. After all, although the Princess Mansion did not intend to hold a grand event in an extravagant manner, the people had already come to greet and congratulate him and could not let someone go back like this.

Emperor Yongjia took Chu Ling around the garden with great enthusiasm, and a group of people had to follow behind them. Chu Ling had probably seen the appearance of the princess's mansion before, but seeing Emperor Yongjia's high-spirited appearance, he didn't want to disturb his interest.

Emperor Yongjia pulled Chu Ling while walking, and said, "You see, this lake is natural, but the landscape by the lake and the pavilion in the middle of the lake are all drawn by me personally. Do you think it's good?"

Chu Ling looked carefully. The rockery by the lake was piled with flowers, which were magnificent but not vulgar. The lake surface was winding and twisting, reaching the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The quiet and profound people only felt that the summer heat was swept away. There were weeping willows by the lake, and the water waves were like green. A few water lilies were slowly spread in the water. There were even a few pairs of mandarin ducks playing in the water, which only made people feel that the fragrance of flowers was filled with pleasure.

Although Emperor Yongjia is not a qualified emperor, he is obviously a qualified artist. This garden is not bad at all than the gardens Chu Ling has seen in Shangjing with many years of history and origin.

"Very good, it made my father worry. But..." Chu Ling nodded and said, "But what? Do you think there is something unsatisfactory about it, and my father immediately changed it." Chu Ling shook his head and said, "How could it be? I just think that I can't live in many places alone. Isn't it that the court officials feel that my father is too squandering?" Emperor Yongjia snorted and said, "Don't worry, this garden is all spent on my own money, but I didn't get money from the treasury. What can they say?" Emperor Yongjia really doesn't think he has spent much money. Not to mention anything else, he has fewer concubines than the emperors of all dynasties. There are only one princess, and there is no prince. What's wrong with building a garden? Who can say what else?

Chu Ling sighed in his heart, looking at Emperor Yongjia who looked forward to him, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She said this was too extravagant and wasteful? Or should she use this money to do more meaningful things? Not to mention what things are more meaningful in the eyes of Emperor Yongjia. I am afraid that this money will not be truly meaningful.

When he was in Xinzhou, Chu Ling briefly had contact with people in the Apocalypse Army, and naturally he also learned about some things in the Apocalypse Army from Zhao Bo'an. Even generals from aristocratic families cannot avoid being exploited, let alone elsewhere?

But if you do nothing, you just enjoy it so comfortably? Then what should she do when she comes back? It would be better to stay with people from Jingbei Army or Cangyun City in the north. If you were a simple daughter, Chu Ling would be happy to have such a father who loved her. But it has to be said that Emperor Yongjia is indeed not a qualified emperor, or even a qualified leader. He was able to successfully stab the Regent in the back, but it was not that he could seize the opportunity and win the hearts of the people, but that the powerful and scholars of the aristocratic families did not want to endure the regent with a strong and iron-blooded regent.

Emperor Yongjia did not see what Chu Ling was thinking, and pulled Chu Ling to stroll the entire princess's mansion. Chu Ling was in good health but it was irrelevant, but Emperor Yongjia was unable to bear it. It happened that someone from the palace reported that the Privy Council had important military information and asked His Majesty to decide. Emperor Yongjia had to regretfully take the lead back to the palace. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Chu Ling to go back to the palace every seven days to accompany his father for a few days.

After seeing off Emperor Yongjia and following the two, Duke Xiangguo, who had been following the two, then he waved away the people who were following him as if he was planning to talk to Chu Ling in private. Chu Ling looked at Duke Xiangguo and said curiously: "Uncle, do you have anything to say?"

Duke Xiangguo looked at Chu Ling and said, "Did the princess... want to persuade Your Majesty?"

Chu Ling was silent and Xiangguo said justice: "I advise the princess not to do this." Chu Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "I thought my uncle wanted his father to be a wise ruler who worked hard to govern, to support the country and regain the northern land."

Duke Xiangguo shook his head and said, "I have never thought about this. Do you know why?"

Chu Ling shook her head. According to her observation, Duke Xiangguo was not a person without ambition or ability. Such a person generally had no low requirements for the monarch.

Duke Xiangguo sighed lightly and said, "Because Your Majesty is not suitable. In fact... the most emperor-oriented person I have ever seen in my life is the late Regent. Unfortunately, he is too low-born and will never be able to ascend the throne unless he usurps the throne. The Duan family has assisted the royal family for generations. Moreover, he did go the wrong way later. He conspired with Tuoba Liang for the throne, which is something that Your Majesty and all the powerful cannot tolerate. In addition, his methods were too violent. Although no one dared to stop the affairs of the Jun family back then, the root of dissatisfaction with him had long been buried. But even so, in the end... he died for his country. Let me tell you the truth, if His Majesty was changed to his position, he would definitely not be able to do this."

Chu Ling was not surprised. If he had a little vision or had a country in his position as Emperor Yongjia, he would probably not be able to do something to get a knife behind his back and run away.

The Duke of Xiangguo looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Actually, this is not your Majesty. No one has taught him these things since he was a child. In those years when the Regent was in power, all the contents of the Grand Tutor's class for His Majesty must be reviewed by the Regent before he can teach. Apart from those useless piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, His Majesty learned not as much as me. If he hadn't thought the Regent would take his life, His Majesty might not have minded living his life. Now these ways of being the king were all figured out by him in dealing with the old foxes over the years. He might not be able to understand what you said to him, especially when you say this, he would only think that his daughter was just pampering her with all her charms. If you think too much, he would not blame you, but he would only think that someone was instigating you behind the scenes."

Chu Ling frowned slightly and said, "Since that's the case, why would the father agree to give me personal soldiers?"

The Duke of Xiangguo smiled and said, "Your Majesty has no prince. You will agree that the most important reason besides your affairs in the north is actually to be angry with the ministers. Anyway, the throne will be cheaper in the end, so why can't you give your daughter more enjoyment? Not to mention three thousand personal soldiers, even if you want other Your Majesty, you will give it to you. But do you think he really thinks you are very powerful and able to expel the clan on the battlefield, or to make you happy?"

"It doesn't matter, but... you can't make him feel that you are standing opposite him. Those courtiers often say those who work hard to govern. However, when His Majesty really wants to make a decision, they will most likely still oppose it. Perhaps in their eyes, His Majesty has no ability to govern the country at all."

Chu Ling leaned his head and looked at Xiangguo Gong and said, "But, don't you think so in my uncle's eyes?"

Duke Xiangguo was stunned and after a while, he laughed and said, "You are right." It turned out that not only those old ministers unconsciously despising Your Majesty, but he himself actually felt that Your Majesty was not good. Your Majesty did not have enough understanding of political affairs, but he was definitely a keen person in love. What would it feel like if a person was surrounded by people who did not trust him? Is it because of this that Your Majesty simply went with the flow?

Chu Ling looked at the changing expression of Duke Xiangguo, comforted him with some helplessness: "Uncle, you don't have to think too much. Father..."

Duke Xiangguo waved his hand, closed his eyes for a while before opening it again, and said, "It's okay, I will think about what you said."

Chu Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, I didn't say it just now."

The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly. In fact, after all, they could not fully trust Emperor Yongjia. Emperor Yongjia was a good father, good friend, and good relative, but he was not a good emperor. At least, he was not an emperor who could give people around him a sense of security. The two met for a long time, and finally Duke Xiangguo had to leave with regret.

What do you need to do if a princess's mansion is configured by a prince? At least one chief officer or a fifth-rank chief officer, one Yiwei Chief, and various dictionaries, restaurants, and temples, etc. These are all of them of grades, but they are not considered court officials but private staff members of the royal palace. These people do not need Chu Ling to worry about, they are all configured by the court, but Chu Ling, as a princess, is qualified to replace people who are not satisfied with at any time. He only needs to write a memorandum to the clan's mansion when the new official takes office, and no one needs to agree.

All the people in the Shenyou Princess Mansion were selected by Emperor Yongjia himself, and the Duke of Xiangguo helped to check. Even if they could not be all reliable, most of them were fine. After sending off the guests in the mansion, Chu Ling had time to meet these subordinates of the Princess Mansion.

"Wei Lian, the left chief of the Princess's Mansion, has seen the princess!"

"Xie Lin, the right chief of the Princess's Mansion, has seen the princess!"

"Xiao Zi, the chief lieutenant of the Princess's Mansion, has seen the princess!"

Chu Ling gave Xiao Shi a sorry look. Xiao Shi was seriously from the deputy commander of the fourth-grade palace who held the heavy power and was demoted to the fifth-grade princess's mansion. This is not just a matter of grade, but even the transfer of Xiao Shi at the same level is considered miserable. After all, no matter how high the grade in the princess' mansion is, it is only a private subordinate of the princess, and there is no comparison with the serious officials of the court.

Chu Ling also advised Emperor Yongjia. After all, although she was optimistic about Xiao Shi, she brought someone with a bright future to her as a personal soldier. She was afraid that Xiao Shi would be angry, but when would she stab her in the back? But Emperor Yongjia obviously didn't care. In Emperor Yongjia's opinion, Xiao Shi was the best person except the commander of the Palace Front Commander. The commander of the Palace Front Commander naturally could not

He was transferred casually, but there was more than one deputy commander. As for the grade issue, wouldn’t it be enough to compensate someone else? So he added a scattered official title to Xiao Shi, General Guide, who was dizzy from the third rank. Chu Ling, who was dizzy by a lot of complicated official titles, didn’t know if Xiao Shi was promoted or demoted, but looking at others’ sympathetic eyes at Xiao Shi, maybe... it’s still a loss?

After everyone in front of him introduced themselves one by one, Chu Ling nodded just now. He took the tea handed over by Jin Xue behind him and took a sip, saying, "Very good. Since my father has sent you to the Princess's Mansion, I believe that you are all your own people, and I hope you don't let me down. Believe me, the consequences of disappointment are not what you are willing to see. In the future, the princess's Mansion will be entrusted to the chief officials of the left and right in the future, and the rest will perform their duties. Jin Xue will be temporarily taken care of by Ming Xuan and Bai Lu Xue Yuan."

"Yes, princess." Everyone responded in unison. These people had never seen the princess before, but they heard that the princess' reputation was. Naturally, they didn't dare to neglect it. But when they saw the lazy and beautiful girl in front of them, they were a little hesitant. Is Your Highness really as cruel as the rumored one?

Chu Ling nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's retreat, General Xiao stay."

Now Xiao Shi has two official positions, the fifth-rank royal palace Yiwei Duwei and the third-rank general Guide. In fact, the one in the front is really useful, and the one in the latter is just a nominal grace and has nothing to do with power or salary. However, when dealing with people in the world, they usually like to call others the highest identity to show respect. Chu Ling felt a little sorry for Xiao Shi, so naturally he didn't want to neglect him.

Everyone stepped back, and Xiao Shi stood in front of him in silence, "What are the princess's orders?"

Chu Ling looked at Xiao Shi and said, "General Xiao, I'll ask you again, are you willing to stay in the Princess's Mansion?" Xiao Shi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It is naturally an honor for his subordinates to be able to serve the princess."

Chu Ling waved his hand and said, "Don't play with me these false things. I can understand what your attitude is these days. However, I hope you understand one thing. I can tolerate capable people, but my patience is not good. Speaking of which, you have suffered this unpredictable disaster because of me. As long as you say, I will personally ask my father to replace him, and I promise that my father will not be dissatisfied with you. Even if you can't return to your original position, it will never be worse than the original."

Xiao Feng frowned and said, "Since that's the case, why did the princess wait until now?"

Chu Ling held his chin and smiled, "It's rare, I always have to try it out. But if General Xiao really doesn't want to, I can't force the civilians to steal."

Xiao Shi was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "I don't know if the princess, can you give me some advice?"

"Oh?" Chu Ling was a little surprised, and Xiao Shi said, "The only one request is left to me."

Chu Ling nodded and stood up with a smile, "Please fight, of course I want to satisfy your wish."

"It seems that the princess is very confident." Xiao Shi said. Chu Ling shrugged and said, "Let's just be sloppy."

"Princess, please." Xiao Shi said seriously.

Seeing that the two of them were about to take action, several people around immediately pushed the railings under the eaves from a distance. Jin Xue looked at him with some concern and wanted to go forward to persuade him, but was pulled by Bai Lu and Xue Yuan.

"Oh? Egret, snowy guy, you..."

Xue Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Jin Xue, why are you in a hurry? Let's watch it, it's hard to say who will lose and who will win or not." Their princess is the future wife of Cangyun City and the young general of Jingbei Army. I heard that even General Yu is not the princess' opponent, so this General Xiao may not be able to do it.

Jin Xue was still a little worried, "Is it really... no problem?" What if something happened to the princess...

"Look at it." Xue Yuan said with a smile.
