On both sides of the Liangyi Hall of Ziwei Palace are the bedroom area, which is the residential area of ​​the emperor, concubines and princesses who have not left the palace. It is also close to Xi Neiyuan, and there is a beautiful Yuhuā Garden. In the past, it was Princess Izumo’s favorite place. There is even a small one there.

Pianyuanpu was cultivated and cared for by the princess himself.

However, the princess has not been there for many days. At this time, the Lord of Izumo is staying in his own Izumo Palace. Although Izumo Palace is called the name of the palace, it is not very big, but just a larger huā Garden. Izumo Palace has always been the hā place in the past. Dozens of palace maids and Princess Izumo live here, and there are always many fun things all day long.

The princess is only fifteen years old, but she is the age of playing. However, the princess is different from the women in many noble families in Kyoto. The princess' love of playing is limited to dàngdàng swings, hunting butterflies, and raising some birds, insects and fish. However, since she came back from burning incense in the Shaolin room, she rarely saw the princess' smile again.

Every day, I no longer go to Xi Neiyuan to take care of the grass, but just stay in the palace and look at the big bird cage in front of the window, where the two geese brought back from Shaoshi Mountain were brought.

If the princess hadn't looked at the birds, she must have been watching the arrow in the chuáng of the bedroom.

"Where is Princess Izumo?" A gentle voice sounded, and a young man in a palace dress wearing a wide-sleeved robe walked into Izumo's Palace.

Two palace maids standing in front of the door hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "If you go back to the princess, the princess is in the room!"

The one who came was the sister of Izumo Palace, Yang Guang's eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang. Princess Nanyang had already married Yuwen Shu's third son Yuwen Shi and Princess Nanyang looked a bit like Princess Izumo, but the two were ten years apart and were half-sisters of the same father. However, Princess Nanyang was beautiful and gentle, and what was even more rare was that she was well-educated. When Yuwen Shu's three sons were almost all famous young masters in Chang'an City.

However, after Princess Nanyang married Yu Wenshi, although she did not use her princess identity to suppress her husband, she successfully used her gentleness to persuade Yu Wenshi. Now Yu Wenshi has long lost the kind of disbelief of Yu Wenshi and Yu Wen Zhiji.

Princess Nanyang shook her head. Although she had already left the palace to marry, she was very loved by Yang Guang and could enter the palace at any time. She knew that this sister must be in a daze with the arrow in the house again.

This sister had already died before she was born. It was her mother who was born after she died, so she was named Izumo. But it was because of this sister who was even more loved by everyone since she was a child.

Not only did her father dote on him, but even Empress Xiao regarded her as if she had left her. Even Princess Nanyang has been taking her with her since she was a child until she left the palace to get married.

She had seen the arrow and the pair of wild gooses, and even heard the palace maid Mingyue talk about the events that day. She knew that the man touched his sister's heart. What she also knew was that the man was Chen Pojun. Although his sister loved him, they could not have a result. The reason was that Chen Kefu was engaged to the daughter of Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, and even the emperor had issued a marriage decree a few days ago.

Since Chen Kefu is engaged, Princess Izumo, the daughter of the emperor, naturally cannot marry Chen Kefu. Although he is the emperor's daughter, he cannot compete with the minister's daughter for her husband, not to mention that the minister is Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang who has just become the prime minister.

Princess Nanyang vaguely persuaded the princess once, but Princess Izumo fell hopelessly into lovesickness and was acquaintance. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Princess Izumo blushed and hurriedly hid the silver arrow that she had been stroked by her for thousands of times under the brocade quilt.

Princess Nanyang clearly saw all this, but just sighed, but didn't say anything. When Chen Kefu was invited back to the mansion by Yuwen Shu that day, she secretly looked at him from behind and found that Chen Kefu did have the charm of those young girls. Even herself, she admitted that Chen Kefu was very impressed. But she knew even more that Princess Izumo's lovesickness for such an impossible result would be harder to dispel herself in the end.

Gently grabbed her sister's hand and put it in her hand. Nanyang smiled and said, "Are you thinking about him again?"

Princess Izumo's face turned red and she turned her head shyly, "Sister, what are you talking about!"

"Do you know? She will marry the third lady from Duke Tang's mansion in a few days.

I have seen that third lady. She is heroic, very beautiful and generous, and can ride and shoot."

Princess Izumo's face turned pale, and her face turned to the side suddenly became cold, and her eyes even had a fog. "Sister, don't say it anymore, I don't want to listen. I feel a little uncomfortable and want to take a rest, okay?"

"Why are you doing this? The silly girl, the father and mother have already known it. But do you know? The father has issued an imperial edict several days ago to marry Chen Kefu and Li Xiuning, and let the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heavenly Prison organize the wedding together. You know what this means, the father has made up his mind and you will not have any chance. Chen Pojun is very outstanding, but that does not belong to you.

Little sister, wake up, sooner or later, you will marry into a human being like your sister. When my sister married your brother-in-law, she didn’t even know what he looked like, but aren’t she still happy now? When you have children again, you will find that there are more important things in your life.”

"Sister, can you calm me down? I don't want to hear this. I don't want to marry someone else. I... I'm going to marry him. If I can't marry him, I will never marry again in my life." Princess Yeyun shouted loudly, a little out of control.

Princess Nanyang helplessly hugged Princess Izumo into her arms. Princess Izumo could no longer control herself and cried in her arms. First love is beautiful, but secret love is painful. Even if she is the most beloved princess, she can only be like an ordinary mortal when facing love.

The early winter sun shines on people like a small stove, making people sleepy. Li Shimin got up early in the morning, took his war horse, and rushed to the Liao Duke's Mansion with a few servants with a carefully selected gift.

On the surface, he was going to visit his brother-in-law Chen Kefu, but in fact he only knew that he wanted to see the beauty who made him lose all these days again. Since the meeting at the city gate that day, he could never forget her every frown and smile. For no reason, he was instantly hit by an arrow. He knew that the beauty was named Changsun Wugui, and now he lived in the Duke of Liao with his brother. He heard that he would move to Liaodong after the New Year.

He could not imagine what he would do once he went to Liaodong. He is twenty-three years old this year. Although he has not married or had no concubines, he is no longer a young man who has never experienced anything. He has had women, not one or two, once or twice. But no woman has ever brought him such a feeling like a grandson. This is a feeling that people miss him at all times. She is not the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, but it is such a woman that he is deeply attracted by her.

There is no mistress in the Liao Duke's Mansion now, and Chen Kefu did not bring any concubines. Therefore, in the huge mansion, Chen Kefu arranged the brother and sister of Changsun Wugui in a cross-yard in the east, and in the backyard in the west, there was a Hongfu girl. Except for a few maids and Chen Lei, no one in the entire mansion knew that their lord had another beautiful concubine.

Li Shimin has been here every day recently, and he can find various reasons every time. Unfortunately, he has not met Changsun Wugui many times. But just yesterday, he finally found out that Changsun Wugui lived in a cross-yard in the east. Next to that, there were Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao.

When he arrived at the mansion, he went to the study room to meet Chen Kefu. After chatting for a few words, he said he wanted to go to Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao to learn martial arts. Looking at the back that was gone, Chen Kefu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. When he first arrived in the Eastern Capital, Li Shimin looked at him with enthusiasm on the surface, but indifferent on the inside. Recently, Li Shimin's performance made him suspicious. If Li Shimin was really as he had seen before, why did he run up to his mansion so diligently? Shaking his head, Chen Kefu no longer cared about this matter and continued to look at the secret letter from the Special Service Office in his hand.

Li Shimin left Chen Kefu and went straight to Dongqianyuan. He had already inquired about the small courtyard clearly. Looking at the closed courtyard gate, his heart beat faster. He tidied up his clothes, rubbed his face again. After breathing a long breath, he walked forward and gently pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, a beautiful figure in the courtyard was facing away from him, holding a book on a swing beside the wall to watch. She was so focused and so trance that when he entered the courtyard, she had no feelings at all.

The sun shone on her body, giving her a layer of gold. On the delicate face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and two small dimples emerged. Li Shimin felt that his heart seemed to stop beating, and his face was flushed. He couldn't help but stretch out his right hand, as if he wanted to cross a dozen steps directly, embrace the beautiful girl in his arms, hug her tightly, and never separate.

"Mr. Li, are you here to find me?" A voice of words woke him up from his dreamlike state. Li Shimin turned around in a panic and realized that when Changsun Wuji had appeared behind him, looking at him with a somewhat suspicious expression.
