The next day, at just seven o'clock in the morning, Man Hengren arrived at the princess's residence. He was really worried about his appearance. Man Tianyun was also used to his younger brother's speed when doing something, so he prepared everything in advance. It had been a long time since she had woken up so early. Her eyes were a little sleepy. The maids who served in the princess's mansion for a long time, everyone was familiar with Man Tianyun's appearance when she woke up. In their eyes, that was when Man Tianyun was the most gentle. When she first woke up, her phoenix eyes were dreamy, unable to see the usual sharpness. Therefore, looking at Man Tianyun, it is difficult to see her usual appearance.
When Lian Xin brought her clothes into Man Tianyun's palace, that was when she had just woken up. The day before, knowing that the emperor was coming, Man Tianyun asked to wake her up early. Although it was normal, all the palace maids had to wait for the head princess to wake up and then get her consent before they dared to enter her room. But today, Lian Xin is allowed to enter her room without Man Tianyun's consent. Because today is a special day.
Man Tianyun's clothes are sewn with gold thread and embroidered with a magnolia flower with silver thread, which stands out on a blue fabric background. The palace maids in the princess's palace. Everyone quickly did everything assigned. No one dared to delay because they knew, if they were late, what was waiting for them in front of them. By the time Man Tianyun finished eating breakfast, Man Hengren had already arrived at the princess's residence. He stepped inside, followed the instructions of the palace maid, and went to Wang Lou Tai. Wang Lou Tai is the place Man Tianyun uses to welcome guests whenever they come to the palace. This place was built quite far from her private room, in the middle of a lotus pond planted in the palace. People who come to Wang Lou Tai will hear the birds singing and will enjoy the smell of lotus flowers all year round. Indeed, the scenery there is very charming!
Man Hengren has never been to the princess's residence. Until now, it was Man Tianyun who went to the palace to visit him and also entered the palace to raise the court. Later, when Man Hengren grew up, he did not often see Man Tianyun appear anymore. She only came to the high court and then went back to the princess's residence. Originally, he always wanted to go to the princess's residence once, but remembering the attitude of the royal sister every time he was in high court, he didn't come anymore. Man Hengren always felt that Man Tianyun was a bit distant from him. Compared to the bodyguard who was always by her side, Man Hengren was actually not as close to her as Shen Tianfeng. He feels a little cold in his heart, but who knows? He and the royal sister are no longer the same as when they were children.
When we were children, we always thought that there would always be each other, beside each other. When we grew up, we knew that it turned out that they were all dreams and words. Ordinary people were like that; people living in the palace would be even more like that. Who doesn't want to be rich? How does anyone not get passionate about power? The initial wishes are just wishes. Like a butterfly in a dream, you can see it and catch it, but when you wake up, there's only an empty space left in your hand. Everyone must understand and be aware of this principle.Even if you want to escape, no one can escape.
"The head princess, the emperor, has arrived."
Lian Xin gently lifted the curtain outside, and slowly spoke to the person sitting inside. Man Tianyun nodded gently. She had heard the footsteps of others coming from earlier. Originally, according to the rules, Man Tianyun, even though she was the eldest princess, still needed to follow the rituals for Man Hengren. But, in Man Tianyun's eyes, Man Hengren will forever be her little brother, so she won't follow those rigid rules. And Man Hengren also understands his royal sister, and even more, does not need Man Tianyun to perform complicated and complicated rituals. Perhaps this is the only bit of love that the two have for each other.
"My royal sister, I heard that a few days ago, the princess's residence was attacked by assassins. Are you okay? "
As soon as he sat down on the chair, Man Hengren asked. There's no one who doesn't know about the story of the princess being attacked by assassins. Even the ordinary people know this. They also whispered to each other, saying why the assassin didn't take Man Tianyun's life without a knife and let her live. In the eyes of the hundreds of thousands of Tiandu people, Man Tianyun really looks like a person who deserves to die. As long as she is dead, the country will be at peace. How funny! It is clear that she is the one who built the current Tiandu, giving them what is called "peace and prosperity". But now, everyone wants to kill her. Well, Man Tianyun doesn't care anymore. If they want to scold, they can scold. Ears grow near the mouth; when they curse, they hear. Those curse words reached the head of the princess, who was afraid that the wind would blow them away.
"There's no harm in that either. Fortunately, there were Mo guards to help. It seems that Hengren hasn't met the Mo Guard yet, right? It wouldn't be bad for the royal sister if I didn't introduce you to this person. "
Man Hengren's tea drinking movement suddenly stopped. He glanced at the man who slowly appeared behind the screen, then continued to drink tea as if he didn't care much about Mo Xuanqing. But he didn't know that his every look and every movement had been seen by Man Tianyun. She just didn't want to expose it. She has her younger brother and mother. How could she not notice every little change in him? Man Tianyun lifted a cup of lotus tea in her hand and took a small sip. The tea had already cooled down. She ordered Lian Xin to prepare a new pot of tea.
"The head princess has so many bodyguards, but the royal sister's close bodyguards only have two people. You see, it's really not safe at all. Or like this, I will report to Mu Jian and recruit more people to the princess's residence. That way, there are more people next to the royal sister, and it's safer. What do you think, royal sister? "
The more people, the more unsafe. You also know that the head princess' residence does not have a musketeer like in the capital. If something really happened, the head princess herself would not be able to escape. Fewer people are better. After all, I only needs people who are loyal to me. It's like you have a horse. To tame it, you must trust it, know what it will bring you. That way, I can know if I can use this steed. "
Suddenly, she paused for a moment, taking a sip of her tea. The bitter taste of tea lingered in her throat, causing Man Tianyun to cough.
But, no matter how good a steed is, it can't be used without loyalty. And the horse under my hand, if it can't be used, no one else can use it. No matter how merciless, that steed only had one choice. That is death! "
The hidden meaning of Man Tianyun was understood by Man Hengren. He also said nothing more. Everyone in the royal family knows that Man Tianyun doesn't like having a lot of strangers come in and out of her princess's residence. She is one of the three people who hold the power of the country. Just a stranger infiltrating the princess's mansion is enough to kill her. Man Tianyun has never used strangers; only those she knows and has researched before can enter the princess's mansion to serve her. In the end, Man Tianyun's thinking is not without reason. She was cautious but not too meticulous. Living in the royal family, just a little mistake can be killed by others. Everyone has to take precautions.
Moreover, Mo Xuanqing stood right next to him looking down. His eyes saw Man Tianyun's face reflected from the tea cup. He understood that the steed she was referring to meant something. If he has entered the palace of the princess and has served Man Tianyun, there are only two options. One is to be absolutely loyal to her, not to be double-minded. Two is death. Truly a cruel woman! Mo Xuanqing lamented about Man Tianyun's inability to know how many times this had happened.
