Black-bellied Prince: Princess Ding is 13 years old

Chapter 23
Even the Efang Palace described by Du Mu is slightly inferior to it. Half of Yongle's palace is on the ground and half is on the mountain.As soon as you enter the gate of the palace, you can see the trees and colorful flowers in the middle of the mountain from a distance.Proud to the blue sky, Yongle's imperial palace is as ingenious as it is magnificent. It can only be described as vulgar with its splendor and splendor.Bai Yu still had a dull expression on her face, but she was secretly feeling emotional in her heart.After entering Zhaowu Gate, there was a long line of carriages waiting. It turned out that in the Yongle Palace, they were not allowed to drive their own carriages, but had to take royal carriages instead.Different from the emperor's bright yellow embroidered dragon, the dark yellow embroidery is also very stylish, and the horse is probably one of the best horses in a thousand miles.

A young eunuch saw Situ Ming and hurried forward, "General Situ, please." Then he led Bai Yu and the others to a large and luxurious carriage.

Situ Yu'er suddenly said to Bai Yu: "This is the first time my sister has entered the palace, she must have never seen such a scene before, you can ask my sister if you don't know anything." There was still a hint of showing off on her face.

Bai Yu didn't even bother to talk to her, in fact, she didn't talk to her at all.It's so interesting to show off that you have been to the palace.Bai Yu bypassed her and walked in front of Situ Ming, stretching out his arms.Both Ning and Situ Yuer were taken aback.Situ Ming was also slightly puzzled, then smiled, and carried Bai Yu into the carriage with loving eyes.Ning Shi and Situ Yu'er were about to drop their jaws to the ground. When did the general show such an expression to them?Always a faint look.Situ Yu'er has been in awe of her father since she was a child, thinking that it is his father's might as a general.But now, why can that fool get Daddy's expression, why should he share Daddy with himself?After Situ Ming and Bai Yu got into the carriage, Ning Shi and Situ Yu'er were still in front of the carriage. Not only Ning's mother and daughter, but also some of the general's colleagues around were also guessing who the little girl who was carried into the carriage by the general was.

After being stunned for a moment, Ning Shi was the first to react.He quickly pulled Situ Yu'er into the carriage, how could she stand there and let others see the joke.

In the carriage, Situ Ming had already closed his eyes and rested, unable to see any expression. Bai Yu sat beside him, and when he saw Situ Yu'er staring at him, a mischievous smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.Situ Yu'er was startled, and seeing Bai Yu still had a dull expression, she suspected that she had been delusional just now.In his heart, he made up his mind to become a blockbuster at the dinner later, and let his father know that only she is the best. This fool would never want to share his father with her!
After the carriage walked for a while, Bai Yu sensed the surrounding atmosphere. Sure enough, there were many masters hiding in the palace, whether it was the hidden guards defending the palace or something. In short, we must be more careful today, this palace banquet will definitely not be so simple.

Finally, the carriage stopped, and Bai Yu could hear the music of silk and bamboo orchestra, and knew that he had arrived at Le Shuo Garden.

From the moment she got off the carriage, Bai Yu knew that she would be tied to the political situation of this era, and it was impossible for her to avoid it even if she wanted to.Thinking of this, Bai Yu felt a sense of vicissitudes in her heart. She stopped thinking about it and followed Situ Ming with a dull expression.

A eunuch who had already been waiting at the entrance of the garden stepped forward to lead Situ Ming and the others to their seats.The decoration in the garden is very grand, and a two-foot-wide platform is set up in the middle, which should be a stage for performances later.There are carved tables and chairs on both sides, with fruit cakes on them, and some officials and family members are sitting sparsely.It was still early, and neither the envoys of the two countries nor the queen and prince were present.

Bai Yu consciously sat down on the chair first, and even picked up the pastry on the table and stuffed it into her mouth. Ning Shi and Situ Yu'er saw that she was so impolite, thinking that a fool is a fool, and they looked down with contempt.Bai Yu knew what they were thinking, so she didn't care.Things are not just for eating.

As soon as Situ's family sat down, many officials came to say hello to Situ Ming. Bai Yu saw a court lady standing opposite, glanced at them, then turned and left. Ning got up and left the seat after a while.He also walked in the direction the maid left.Situ Yu'er was talking with several girls dressed as official ladies.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Bai Yu secretly walked in the direction Ning Shi left.The maid just now really came to call Ning Shi, and she saw Ning Shi crossing a garden and reuniting with a middle-aged man with a square face by a lake.Bai Yu dissipated his energy and cloned himself, and the lake surface suddenly fluctuated slightly.

When Ning saw the man, she said, "What's the matter with Daddy calling my daughter here?"

"The envoys and princes of both countries will attend the dinner today, is Yu'er ready?" the man asked.

"Don't worry, Daddy, with Yu'er's strength, she will definitely win the prince's heart." Ning said with a bright face.

"This time, the fourth prince of Xianli came here uninvited. He has the ancient treasure of Xianli, the jade lotus with jade blood, on his body. You need to arrange for Yu'er to get close to the fourth prince of Xianli's single-jaw Jing. She only needs to get the treasure's hiding place."

"It's just like this, what about the prince?" Ning didn't know why her father wanted Yu'er to get close to the fourth prince Xianli, and whether the prince would cause misunderstanding and affect Yu'er's future.

"Prince, don't worry, I will arrange everything myself. And have you found the soldier talisman in Situ Ming's hand?"

"Daddy knows the relationship between me and the general, not to mention that I can't steal the general's military talisman for daddy. What's more, the general is strict in his work, so how can he show any clues." Ning has no way to betray the person she loves, let alone gain her love people's trust.

"Daddy just wants to use the soldier talisman, and it won't hurt the general. Since you don't want to help me find the soldier talisman, you should monitor Situ Ming's every move and report to me. I don't want the general to go the wrong way and affect the safety of you and Yu'er." .”

"Daughter knows that Daddy has worked so hard, so please rest assured." Ning replied obediently.

"Okay, I've been out for a long time, go back to the table." The man patted Ning's shoulder.Ning's salute and leave.The lake surface fluctuated again and then returned to calm.

After Bai Yu came out of the lake, she turned around calmly, pretending to be wandering in the garden, but her heart was absorbing the conversation between the man and Ning just now.Based on the understanding of the information brought by Li, the man should be the prime minister Ning Zhongyong.It really is an old fox, if it is really like what Li said, what kind of role does this Ning Zhongyong play in the meeting between Yongle and Shunchang?Bai Yu was thinking about it when she saw a black spot out of the corner of her eye.Bai Yu could sense that the man's martial arts skills were extremely high, and he was nowhere to be found after a flash.I don't want to pursue it, it seems that there are many masters who came to this palace today.Bai Yu sneaked back to the dinner party while no one noticed. At this time, there were many more people in the garden than before.
