I didn't want to marry him anymore. "Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to get green plums."

I didn't want to marry him anymore.

"Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to get green plums."

His name is Zhao Hengzhang, and his name is the same, such as cutting like a knife, like a mill. He is the eldest son of the great general Hu Ben, the prince accompanies the reading, and has been reading with the imperial brother since he was a child.

Among the disciples of the family, his martial arts were outstanding, and he also had the talent of Uncle Ji, Xiao Xiao was like a pine downwind, tall and Xu Ying, and he was always dazzling.

Listening to my maid Xiao Lan, the women in the capital have always been backwards to greet him, throwing fruit and car.

I am not exempt from the vulgarity, since the general horn fell into the water in the royal garden and was rescued by him, it has been eight years, and I like him for eight years.

Every time you see me, your concern for me is always meticulous. However, I am an unloved princess, and I have not had many opportunities to meet him since I was a child, and there is no deep friendship to speak of.

On the day of her birth, her mother was grounded in changchun palace by her father, and she was very fond of her mother's sister Yi Guifei, and Yi Guifei's son Song Jin was also made crown prince.

Since childhood, Concubine Yi guifei has pretended to be kind to me, cared for me in the name of her aunt, and sent many things to my palace, but she always used all kinds of means against me behind my back to prevent me from getting better. Sending a powerful palace maid to the palace, under the pretext of taking care of me, is actually surveillance.

Since I was a child, I have been dependent on my brother in the palace, and he tried hard to protect me behind me, so that I would not be bullied by others, and often sneaked me into the Changchun Palace to see my mother. If the Father and Emperor were to leave me and my brother, they would have more opportunities to meet than to meet the grounded Queen. Later, the emperor had a family, and the father gave him a southwest fief and the title of King An.

I like Zhao Hengzhang, he is one of the few people in this high-walled red-tiled palace to give me warmth.

I want to marry him.

Ever since I was rescued by Zhao Hengzhang, every time I went to see my mother, I would mention him, and the queen listened, always laughing. At that time, I firmly told my mother, "I Song Qinghong will not marry Zhao Huangzhang in this life." ”

She listened for a while, laughed at me stupid, and said, I know it is impossible, but I still want to be extravagant. I'm not stupid, I just like Zhao Hengzhang, and I don't know why I like him so much later.

Father Emperor believed, and in his early years he invited many Daoist monks to ask the heavens and pray for blessings, and he lived in the Sanqing Temple in the palace.

One day, when I sneaked to the Changchun Palace to meet my mother, I met a gray-robed and white-haired Taoist monk, an old dragon bell, who blocked my way straight, looking like he had something to say.

"Poor Dao Sanqingguan Void Valley has seen Princess Chitose."

"Governor." I was slightly blessed and continued to walk forward, not intending to ignore him, after all, an unloved princess like me would not be able to get close to me.

"The princess stays."

He said that he directly handed me a copper mirror, the mold and rust on the back looked terrible, I saw a layer of goosebumps, and hurried back to him.

"What is the Governor doing?"

"Princess Highness, the poor Dao just saw you from a distance, and saw that the top of your forehead was glowing, and you are a person with the Heavenly Edge dao, who can see and understand this too clear and mysterious." The past, the future, family affection, marriage, you can see it from the mirror. Poor Dao can meet the princess, it is also a fate, so poor Dao wants to say that this too virtual mirror to give to the princess, is a gift. ”

"No, thank you sir."

I walked around him. It was insane that what he said was so insane that people did not want to believe it. But he raised his voice and stopped me in the back.

"Princess Highness, have no one ever mentioned to you why the empress dowager's mother's family served the emperors of the three dynasties behind the foundation of the dynasty, the wealth was monstrous, and the protégés were everywhere, but your mother was reduced to the point of being grounded."

The Daoist priest was obviously coming for me, and I stopped and smiled, "Dao Chief, Dao Fa is natural, this worldly fate law is complicated and difficult to understand, Dao Chang mo is not joking with me." ”

"If the princess doesn't believe it, then you can take care of it."

In fact, his words really said in my heart, I looked at the mirror of the letter and doubtful results, and the result was that the sky was spinning, and I seemed to have come to the illusion, there was a man in white who raised his sword and stabbed at my brother's chest, he turned around, and I saw Zhao Hengzhang's face change from clear to blurred. Then I saw a man in a robe standing under the cloister covered in snow, quietly looking at me sitting on the swing, with a soft face.

Then the picture turned to the Changchun Palace, the mother's hair was scattered, the usual dignified she had a look of pain and embarrassment at this time, covering her chest and pointing to The Yi Guifei in front of her, her red eyes could not hear what she was saying, she spat out blood and fell to the ground, the father and emperor walked in in a yellow robe, looked at her indifferently, and left without turning her head.

I was anxious to go up and help my mother and queen up, but the scene in front of me spread like fog, and I returned to the road to Changchun Palace, where a few palace eunuchs walked past me with things and saluted me, but the Taoist priest disappeared.

I picked up the mirror and looked at it twice, but there was nothing, everything I had just done was an illusion. I closed the letter in the mirror suspiciously.

The sun shines on the glazed tiles, and it will be late. My maid hurried to me.

"Xiao Lan, what's the matter, you are in a hurry to become like this."

"Your Royal Highness has arrived and is waiting in your bedchamber."

"Brother Huang has arrived?"

In two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, the imperial brother was ordered to enter the palace only half a month ago he just came to the letter, did not expect that now it will arrive, I pulled Xiao Lan quickly to the palace.

The imperial brother is standing on the plum tree in my courtyard, the plum blossoms are not blooming, and the branches are still green. The faint shadow of the emperor's brother under the sunset was stretched very long, and there was a smell of a single shadow. I suddenly remembered what I had just seen in the mirror, and my hand unconsciously froze.

My brother and I were born as mothers, ten years older than me. When I was not born, my father and mother were incomparably loving, and the emperor was diligent, and the young man showed his talent, and the father and emperor were happy, and once said that when I was born, I would make my brother the crown prince.

However, once the grace of the dynasty, but because of the mother's mother's grounding and my birth, the father and emperor did not have anything overnight, I often felt guilty, and the imperial brother comforted me every time that I did not need to mention the past, and had nothing to do with me.

When I was still very young, the emperor's brother often took advantage of the guards' inattention to sneak me into the Changchun Palace, and later I didn't know who had told my father and noble concubines, and there were many more guards in the Changchun Palace, and since then the father and emperor have stipulated that I can only meet with my mother and queen during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Later, the noble concubine even felt angry when I met my mother and queen on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and found various reasons to say goodbye in front of her father and emperor, and the day of the meeting was a few days earlier, he was always like this, that is, he could not see our family well.

Brother Huang stood so alone that my nose couldn't help but sour.

"Brother..."

"Hong'er!"

Without saying a word, I threw myself into my brother's arms.

"When Hong Er grows up, why do she still cry so much?"

Brother Huang rubbed my hair and felt his warmth, and I felt aggrieved in my heart, "Brother Emperor, I haven't seen you in two years..."

That night, with two cups of tea, I said a lot to my brother.

"Brother Emperor, bandits in the southwest are frequent, the environment is harsh, and things are tiring, but you should not be too hard."

"Got it."

My nephew, who is only six years old, is very good at reading and writing, like a very young brother. Half a year ago, the imperial brother added a new daughter, and now he is also a child. The imperial brother strives to govern, high wind and discipline, generosity and benevolence, has the world in his heart, and has been wise since he was a child, I think the southwest land must let him govern very well.

The people in the palace had already been spent by Xiao Lan, and I choked up, "Brother Emperor, my mother has lost a lot of weight in the past two years, and she is always very sad when she mentions you, and she misses you very much." ”

"I miss my mother too."

"Let's sneak up on our mother like we did when we were children."

"Silly kid, what a stupid thing to say." However, Hong'er, you are at ease, the imperial brother will definitely see you every day after your mother, at that time, our family will be reunited. “

"Brother..."

In two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival Feast.

On the high position of the main hall, the father emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and he was still very spirited when he was more than half a hundred years old. On the seat next to him were Concubine Yi and the ladies of the palaces.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat opposite me and the Imperial Brother, and he raised his wine glass to salute the Imperial Brother from a distance, very proudly, glanced at the corner of his mouth and toasted with the person next to him. Only then did I notice that the seat next to him was empty, I think it was absent, and then there was a man wearing a Yongguo costume sitting, the ornaments on his clothes were extraordinary, and he must have been prominent.

The emissaries who came from the Yong Kingdom heard that a few days ago, because of the border affairs, they entered the palace for peace talks, but they just happened to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. The emperor of the Imperial Brother told me before that the current emperor of the Yongguo kingdom is Zheng Chongyu, the younger brother of the former emperor Zheng Chonglu, who summoned his courtiers to the bedside at the time of his death, so that his son Zheng Bokao would still be the crown prince, and Zheng Chongyu would be made emperor.

After Zheng Chongyu succeeded to the throne, he obeyed the wishes of the former emperor and still made the crown prince Zheng Bokao crown prince. However, it has annexed a small neighboring country, ZhongshanGuo, for several years. Now it's provoking the frontier again. They came to talk about peace, and the person across from them was Zheng Bokao.

I glanced at the Imperial Brother, only to see that the Imperial Brother glanced at the Father Emperor on the high hall, and his eyes swept over Concubine Yi and the Crown Prince, and then turned around and looked at me gently, without saying anything, and directly drank the wine in the cup.

The imperial brother must have missed the mother and queen, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family reunion, but that is someone else's reunion, me and the imperial brother here, but it seems superfluous.

The chips are staggered, and the wine and meat do not stop. In the main hall came several women, dressed in red and dressed in lily buns that were popular in Yong. Orchestral silk bamboo ensemble, red sleeves flying, dancing postures.

This dance was obviously liked by the Father Emperor, and he drank several glasses of wine in succession.

"Your Majesty, I have come here on behalf of the emperor to negotiate peace, and I also hope that the frontier will open up mutual markets and that our two countries will have mutual exchanges."

"The messenger is drunk, so if you continue to watch the song and dance, these days we will only drink and feast, and do not talk about state affairs."

The prince suddenly stood up and said, "Father Emperor, Hong'er" Qinghong has been good at dancing since childhood, so it is better to let the imperial sister dance for everyone, which is also a pleasure. ”

What is to help the messenger, he clearly wants to insult me and the royal brother. I saw that the imperial brother clenched his fist under the table, the imperial brother has always been cautious, and I knew that he was forbearing.

"Emperor, her royal highness the princess has just drunk a few glasses of wine, I am afraid that there will be more inconvenience."

Zhao Hengzhang came out to organize, and my heart was warm, but the messenger looked at me recklessly and said, "Well, I have eyes today." ”

The father emperor was silent and did not say a word, and Concubine Yi Guifei sat on the side to watch the play. I moved to the temple, "Father Emperor, since the messenger also has intentions, then Qinghong will dance a dance for everyone to help entertain." “

"Well, Hong'er dancing is just a common pleasure, or don't let outsiders see and laugh, Hong'er, I see that you are also tired, let's go down and rest first."

"Yes."

I didn't understand what my father meant, and I looked at my brother incomprehensibly, only to see him silent and nodding his head twice without moving. I went out of the side hall and went to the door to hear the dance stop, and a man's voice was round and deaf, and his words contained a little apology.

"See Your Majesty. Sorry, I'm late. ”

"Oh, haven't you always been like this?" This was the voice of the emissary of the Yong Kingdom just now. I think people are also from the Yong Kingdom.

Before I could reach the Imperial Garden, the Imperial Concubine caught up with me.

"Hong'er, don't pay attention to the things in the great hall."

"Sister-in-law, I understand that in the peace talks between the two countries, the Yongguo has 200,000 iron horses, and all kinds of provocations are inevitable, and I understand them."

"The DPRK is clear, the prince is in power, even if your imperial brother is far away from this place of right and wrong, he will not be in trouble for a second, and you must be careful after Hong'er."

"Although I am in the palace, I can more or less understand that the imperial brother has carried too many things in his planning over the years, and they were all tired of me in those years, and these years have also affected your sister-in-law and your suffering."

"It's all family, what are you saying?" There is a lot of inconvenience in front of people, and your brother asked me to tell you that there is still one year at most. The suffering that Hong'er has suffered over the years, he will make up for it one by one in the future. “

"You guys?" I stopped and looked at the imperial sister-in-law worriedly, and I also cared about the imperial brother.

"Peace of mind." The royal sister-in-law clapped my hand and said.

The imperial sister-in-law came out by sobering up, stayed unchanged for too long, and then went back again. I stepped into the small pavilion next to the Tailiu pool, blowing a cool evening breeze, and staring at the small pavilion that was covered with microwaves.

A long time has passed, the willow branches on the moon, the round moon reflection in the pool, very beautiful.

"Cut the moon in the laurel, the clear light should be more." Not far away, there was a voice, only to see that under a few pomegranate trees, the white moonlight cast a figure through the leaves, there was no light, only a vague figure, but a little like the royal brother.

I walked over, and there was still a dozen steps away, and the man noticed me, and the moonlight was projected straight onto me, and by the moonlight he could see what I looked like, only to see him turn slightly, facing me, bowing his hand and leaving.

It turned out not to be the royal brother. I stopped delving deeply and went back to my bedroom.

The imperial brother has his own fiefdom, and staying in Beijing for a long time will only leave a handle for others, and it will be easy to give birth to right and wrong, so once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, he will have to return to the fiefdom.

When the emperor left, I handed him a brocade box, which contained a pair of bracelets and a hairpin, and when the queen went to see the queen a few days ago, she asked me to give these things to the imperial sister-in-law on her behalf.

I saw the Imperial Brother perform a salute in the direction of the Changchun Palace, and his eyes were red.

Seeing the two lonely backs of the imperial brother and sister-in-law leaving hand in hand, I flashed the matter of the imperial brother being attacked by Zhao Hengzhang in my mind, and hurriedly trotted to the door and supported the door frame.

I fixed my gaze on him and said, "Precious." ”

Later, after half a month, the peace talks yielded no results, and the emissaries of the Yongguo Kingdom also left the capital.

The picture in the mirror was like a spell, disturbing me from sleep, and I was often awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night.

Later, I went to the Sanqingguan to find the void valley daoist and wanted to ask him about the mirror, but the Taoist priest there told me that there was no void valley in the three qingguan.

Although I saw some pictures in the mirror that day, no matter how I looked at them later, I couldn't see anything.

One day I was rummaging through the closet, knowing where I had placed it before, and even Xiao Lan didn't know it, but the mirror had disappeared.

All the inexplicable things stacked on top of each other made me feel terrified.

Sometimes I even wondered if I was hallucinating, I had misremembered the previous things, there was no old way, no mirror, no sword that Zhao Hengzhang stabbed the emperor brother.

Maybe this is just a hint from the gods of heaven and earth, the gods of the four directions who have mercy on me and deliberately give me.

Just by comforting myself, and with the soothing incense that Xiao Lan had given me in the temple, I could barely fall asleep.

In this way, after more than a month, the imperial brother set out from the imperial city and took the imperial sister-in-law's carriage and horse slowly, and it was almost time to go to the southwest fiefdom.

A purse that I had secretly embroidered before the Mid-Autumn Festival was almost good, it was sewn for Zhao Hengzhang, and it was covered with lotus flowers and lotus seeds, but it was not ready for him.

It's been sewn up for a few days, and I'm afraid of being seen, so I keep it on my body.

The imperial city was already in charge of the lamp, and I walked alone in the palace without an attendant. Unconsciously, through the archway, I walked into The Palace of Concubine Yi Guifei.

I walked in the dark, but I told two attendants on the road to look around, as if they were releasing the wind. I never paid any attention to this kind of pickle in the palace, and turned in the direction of the small pond.

"Your Highness, a hundred jianghu killers have been ambushed in the southwest land, and everything is ready only to owe the East Wind." I was pretty sure it was Zhao Hengzhang's voice, and I stayed where I was.

"He is carrying a woman, and there are many inconveniences in walking, and this time, I want to know him thoroughly, so that my mother and I can sleep peacefully."

"Then how do you explain it to Your Majesty?"

"Confess, what do I have to confess, his own life is not good, he has been banditd, and he has nothing to do with me and He."

"Got it."

"By the way, you sent a letter to the pigeon tonight and told them that after the end of the couple, you should kill his two children as soon as possible, so as to avoid any trouble."

"Rest assured, Your Highness."

Frightened, the purse I grabbed in my hand did not hold it and accidentally fell to the ground, and under the environment of the two people's quiet conspiracy, there was a noise.

"Who? Who's where? ”

Zhao Hengzhang immediately became vigilant and walked towards here. Frightened, I hurried back and hid in an abandoned side temple.

The crown prince took Zhao Huanzhang and the two retinues and came to this side. I covered my mouth with my hands, almost afraid to even breathe for fear of being heard by them, and silently shed tears.

No, I don't believe...

I meditated in my heart.

What do they want to do! Fortunately, they did not find it here and went elsewhere.

I squatted weakly on my legs and began to worry about my brother and my nephews. I don't know if he was meticulous and prepared.

I always remember that when I was eight years old, Zhao Hengzhang, who was a partial teenager, went into the palace with the great general Hu Ben to meet his father and rescued me from the Night Pool.

That year, the imperial brother just left the palace, it was winter, the people who waited for me were all so-so, I accidentally fell behind, he rescued me from the lake, I heard that after returning home, I was also sick.

Later, every time he called me, he was like the royal brother and took good care of me.

One year when Concubine Yi guifei mentioned this matter, she openly and secretly accused me of not understanding things, and even my father and emperor were silent, and it was he who stood up and spoke for me.

I suddenly remembered a sentence from my mother, she said, "Hong'er, don't look at the wrong person." ”

She obviously couldn't do anything, and she had already seen everything clearly.

I ran back to the dormitory in a panic and wrote a letter to tell the emperor brother, but it was still too late.

On that day, I was making tea in the palace, a small red clay stove, and listening to the four directions with my eyes closed, and my father came to me with a heavy face.

"The emperor has arrived."

"Sons and daughters see the Father."

"Like your mother, you like to make tea."

"Sons and daughters like to drink tea."

"Go inside and say, it's cold outside, it's easy to get wind chills."

Good.

I served tea to my father and stood quietly aside. Over the years, he rarely came to my palace, and when he came, he said a few words, and I have always responded to changes with no change.

"Say it." The Father Emperor looked at Gonggong Zhang, who had come with him, and commanded.

"Princess Highness, the imperial court today sent a quick horse urgent report, An Wang and his wife will be assassinated by bandits on the way southwest, unfortunately fell off a cliff, the two little highnesses in the palace were also taken away by bandits, missing whereabouts."

“……”

"Princess..."

I looked at my father and emperor in disbelief, my eyes slowly soured, and I suddenly remembered the conversation between the prince and Zhao Hengzhang a few days ago, and I felt that the sky was spinning, and I fainted.

I lay in bed and burned for more than a month before I would get better. Xiao Lan said that in the past month, the father and emperor have been sending people to find the whereabouts of the emperor's brother's family, and there is no news until now.

"The Queen Mother... Does the queen know? ”

My eyes were still hot, and tears rolled out between my words.

"The emperor has decreed that at this time no one can reveal a word to the empress dowager in the front article, otherwise it will be a capital offense."

"Is it?" I laughed sarcastically.

The Father and Emperor often came to see me, and the number of times they saw me in this month was worth the number of times they had been paid in a year.

However, on this day, when the father emperor came, he brought Zhao Huanzhang, as well as noble concubines and crown princes.

I threw away all the meekness that had come, picked up the dagger that had been prepared under the bookcase, and made up for it toward Zhao Hengzhang.

"Despicable villain, I'm going to kill you."

I was quickly unloaded by the crowd, and in the midst of the struggle, I grabbed the yantai with my bare hands, used all my strength, and smashed the prince hard.

His indigo clothes were inked by me, half of his face was black, and his forehead was smashed with blood.

Because I made such a fuss, my father didn't ask a word, so he directly locked me up. I knew that even if he really knew that the crown prince had killed the imperial brother, he would not care, how much he hurt his son.

When the Father came to call me, he sat down silently in front of my bed.

I prayed, "Father Emperor, the sons and daughters know that they are wrong, and they should not be rude to His Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao." ”

"I understand, you are so sad."

"Father Emperor, can you please let your sons go to the southwest to find the Imperial Brother, I don't believe that the Imperial Brother is really gone."

"What nonsense, his own son, naturally will send soldiers to find, whether dead or alive, must be clearly understood."

When I heard this, my heart was so lost that I jumped up from the bed and knelt before my father.

"Father Emperor, even if you don't think about the father-son relationship for so many years, but you have hurt him for ten years, just look at the share of this decade, let me go to him." Please. ”

"Please. Please. Please... Please. ”

I prostrated my head countless times, my voice getting quieter and quieter, but with a crying voice.

"Pull him up." The Father said impatiently.

I grabbed my father's robe, "Father, please, let me go." ”

As a result, he threw me to the ground with all his might, and since then, the Father has seen me from the future.

Day by day, the days passed until Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Father gave me a grace to allow me and my mother to meet. But how should I face my mother?

I got rid of the people sent by my father to follow me and went to Meiling alone.

This plum ridge is in the depths of the royal garden, the ridge is planted with red plums, I heard that this was planted by the father and emperor for the mother queen, and then the mother was grounded, and others did not dare to move.

I remember that before it was also the New Year's Day, I ran out of the banquet, ran and ran, and unconsciously came to Meiling like tonight.

As soon as I came in, I saw a plum tree in the distance, and the royal brother was leaning on the trunk of the tree to drink.

"Brother."

"Hong'er, how did you get here?" Come over and give the royal brother a hug. ”

I obediently ran over and leaned against my brother's chest. The royal brother really drank a lot of wine, and the wine on his body was full of wine.

I was twelve years old that year, and my nephew had been born more than a year ago.

"Hong'er, I miss my mother."

"Does the imperial brother also think of his mother, and Hong'er thinks of his mother every day."

"Hong'er, you can rest assured, the imperial brother will definitely protect Hong'er well, protect your nephew, your imperial sister-in-law." Hong'er has a mother and a brother. ”

"Mm-hmm. Hong'er knew. ”

Probably because I was dependent on my brother since I was a child, I was particularly close to him, and he was the only one I relied on in the palace.

I also secretly drank the emperor's wine, and he just laughed at me and didn't drink it, but I didn't bother, and I drank it.

Later, the emperor carried me back to the dormitory, and on the way he actually met Zhao Hengzhang.

At that time, the imperial brother carried me on his back, and when he heard Zhao Hengzhang's voice that was like spring wind and rain to me, he was half awake. Zhao Hengzhang stretched out his hand to carry me on his back, but he was blocked by the imperial brother, and I still remember that he coughed twice in embarrassment, and followed us back to the dormitory before leaving.

At that time, I once thought that Zhao Hengzhang was worried about me, and I even liked me during that time, a general Who thought he was personable. This is probably the most ridiculous thing in my life. He and the prince murdered the royal brother who hurt me the most.

So I love my brother, without the love of my father and emperor who is accompanied by my mother, my brother tries to make up for it from him. He played the roles of brother, father and mother alone, and he was willing to eat for many years. I once asked him why he was drunk, and he said that before the queen was grounded, I asked him to take care of his sister.

How can I be worthy of the royal brother.

I walked around the plum ridge a few times, picking out the places with more plum trees. Plum blossom Ling Han opened alone, so stubborn, and had a proud bone.

There were only a few lights on Meiling, and the road could not be seen very clearly, so as I walked, I suddenly hit a person's chest.

The broad chest and strong arms held me, and I didn't fall backwards. Chinese New Year's Eve night, the lanterns were hanging outside, the lights were bright, all parties congratulated, who would come to Meiling at this time, I was pleasantly surprised to think it was the imperial brother, and I called him "Imperial Brother." ”

The man seemed stunned and coughed falsely.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has confessed to the wrong person."

He pulled away from me, and by the faint light I squinted my eyes for a long time, only to find that the face was so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

"It's late at night, Merlin's road is not good, the princess is careful."

"Thank you."

His voice was steady and low, like the music of the frontier and the sound of the wind mentioned by the imperial brother in his letter, and he spat out every word without hurry.

"The years have passed, but the Slovaks still cherish it."

"Huh. treasure...... Dude, did you bring wine? I smiled bitterly.

"Bring it." After saying that, he asked the person behind him to get the wine, and I saw that there was a person standing behind him.

I ripped open the plug on the gourd and looked up and took a big sip.

"Cough cough cough... What kind of wine is this, so good? ”

"This is the wine of the frontier."

"No wonder, I haven't drunk the wine of the frontier, the imperial brother said very bitterly, it turned out to be true." The royal brother also said that no matter where the wine is, it is not as mellow and delicious as the wine I cooked. ”

"The royal brother also told me that in the near future, our family will be reunited."

"Brother Huang said he would protect me."

“………”

"Brother Said......... Cough cough cough... There's no more wine..."

"Princess, this wine is strong, it is better to drink less."

I angrily threw the empty wine jug to his chest, "I don't care, give it to me." ”

He really, he handed me another jug of wine, and another one that he didn't know where he was, leaned against the tree with me, and drank it with his own care.

As soon as the night wind passed, the red plums of the ten thousand trees fell and blossomed, and I stood up happily, holding the wine jug in one hand and turning in a circle under the tree, turning around several times, adding the strength of the wine, and I fainted.

I saw a figure standing precariously in front of me, and I was held by this. I don't know how long it took before I was slightly sober, my eyes were facing each other, and Zhao Hengzhang's face suddenly flashed in my mind.

I wrapped my hands around him from behind, tiptoed up, kissed him, dragonflies a little watery, and then, all of a sudden, I bit his lip hard.

He took a breath of pain, as if to push me away, to buy a robe that I grabbed deadly, and he had no choice.

When the last breath smelled of blood, I pushed him away.

But he stepped forward again, grabbed his wrist, and pleaded, "Son, do you have a sword or a dagger?" Can you lend it to me, please. ”

He looked at me silently for a long time and said, "Princess, you are drunk. ”

He gently pushed my hand away, silently put the fox fur draped on his body next, sent it for me, and then left again.

At that moment, looking at his back, there was an urge to catch up. However, between the activities, there is a light aroma that makes people feel at ease.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, the noble concubine came to ask me on behalf of her father and emperor what I did that night, and I chose what I did not matter, and said truthfully, "The son-in-law did not know how to face his mother, so he hid himself and secretly drank wine." ”

"Oh, Hong'er, you are still very sick, how can you drink?"

At this moment, in the face of the noble concubine's face, I only hated myself for not being able to slash six holes in three knives and avenge my brother.

In the dark night, the only light in the dormitory, the yellow candlelight was wrapped in a faint red around it, and I looked at the red light and felt more and more like blood.

That night I had a dream, and suddenly it was like someone had been pushed into the lake, and I was about to call out Zhao Hengzhang's name.

In a trance, I saw the royal brother lying in a pool of blood, and my sister-in-law fell next to him in my arms, holding two children in my arms.

Later, when I slept at night, I was also awakened by this dream, and when I thought back, I cried out in pain, crying, "Brother," Sister-in-law, my nephew..."

Xiao Lan had just fallen asleep, was awakened by my screams, pushed the door in, hugged me and comforted, "Princess, it's all right, it's all right, it's a dream, it's just a dream." ”

Many people heard the movements that came out of my palace that night, and the palace was spreading that Princess Qinghong was crazy. The noble concubine went along with the flow and spoke in the father's ear, saying that I was insane and should be recuperated in the palace, so the father and emperor locked me up like a forbidden mother.

I don't know who deliberately said something to the queen of the mother, telling her that the imperial brother's family was dead, and I was crazy. The queen mother directly coughed up a mouthful of blood when she heard it, fainted, and couldn't afford to be sick.

When Xiao Lan told me this, I only hated myself, with my own powerlessness, and hated myself for being too impulsive at that time. But now that I'm stuck here, I can't do anything.

"It's so cruel, they don't even let go of the children, so they want to kill them all?"

I haven't slept well these days, I'm leaning on the bed, Xiaolan is feeding me porridge, when the silver spoon is handed to my lips, I open my mouth, and then look at Xiaolan in horror.

"Princess, what's wrong..."

I glanced outside and said two words with my lips, "Poison."

She was so frightened that the porridge also shook out of the bowl, quickly closed the door, took the silver needle to try, at first there was no change, Xiao Lan tried again, and quickly turned black.

"This..."

Xiao Lan looked at me in surprise.

"There are many people in the dormitory who are princes and noble concubines, so be careful in the future, and you will personally watch when the kitchenette is done."

I pulled Xiao Lan over and whispered.

The spring is cold, the warmth is still cold, the emperor has not heard from him for more than half a year, and the people sent out by the father have searched along the entire river and the surrounding villages, and there is no trace of the emperor.

In the end, the Father emperor did not listen to the little man's nonsense, or removed all the guards at the door of my bedchamber, lifted my grounding, and specially allowed me to go to visit my mother.

The queen mother lost a lot of weight again, her eyes were covered with blood, and when she saw me, she was in tears all the time, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. After so many days, I finally did not hold back, and Threw myself into the arms of my mother and sobbed. Xiao Lan was on the side to persuade us, but the more she said, the more tears I had.

The queen gently patted me on the back, and coaxed me to take a nap to comfort me when I was a child, "Hong'er, don't cry, you want to see people die to see corpses, so long no news is good news, it will definitely be no Ji Tai to come." ”

The Shangwei Festival has arrived, and for the first time in so many years, I have gone to the Chengqian Palace to find my father and emperor and beg him to let me go out of the palace to see and turn around. But he obviously did not trust me to leave the palace, in fact, he was afraid that I would go to find the whereabouts of the imperial brother.

"The father, the emperor, the sons and daughters swore in the name of the queen, put on the lanterns, and returned after seeing the fireworks."

The Father Emperor groaned for a long time before he said, "Forget it, you go." ”

The moon is on the willow tip, and the person is about after dusk. On the Festival, the world is not bustling, there are rabbit lights everywhere, and people gather in one place to guess the riddles. When I was a child, I often heard people say that the outside of the palace was as lively as it was, and I was pestering my brother to take me out of the palace, but I never had a chance. And today I came out just to pray for the blessing of the imperial brother, pray that he can do everything in a fierce way.

I was dressed in plain clothes, dressed as a daughter of a normal family. I only brought Xiao Lan out, with all kinds of laughter and songs around me, and I was really not interested in participating. I picked up a lantern and walked to the small river.

There were many people who put on the lights tonight, and everyone was whispering something, very religiously. Many lamps converge from the river bank to the downstream, and a river of lights illuminates the imperial city even more lively.

I knew that my father and emperor did not trust me after all, and sent people to secretly follow me from a distance, but no matter what the father's intentions were, I was tired of being tracked and monitored. Taking advantage of the BMW carving cars on the street and the people coming and going, I took Xiaolan to the most crowded place, circled around a few times, knew that the two disguised guards were missing, and walked into the folk streets and alleys, from the West Market to the East Market.

"Xiao Lan, since we came out, let's go eat a bowl of Lantern."

There are young girls, brides and uncles on the side of the road, all supporting this stall to buy lanterns, a few pieces of money and a bowl, and a few young men and girls around several stalls are performing acrobatics. Looking at everyone smiling and smiling, I thought, this is what the Emperor Brother often said in his heart about the fireworks of the dawn people.

"Boss, come and have two bowls of Lanterns."

"Well, the guest officer will wait a moment."

Xiao Lan looked around uneasily and said, "Miss, do we want to go to the tea house to eat?"

"Don't worry, they won't be able to find it here."

I looked at Xiao Lan, I wanted to reassure her, but I saw a man in the distance wearing a plain white dress, holding a folding fan in his hand at will, and there was a small squatter behind him. When our eyes collided in the noisy crowd, I felt a little more uneasy in my heart.

Thinking back to the absurd acts I had done to him before, I felt a little self-conscious.

He nodded at me, a courtesy, and I nodded slightly across the noisy crowd. The Lantern Was Already on, and as I ate, I couldn't help but quietly look in the direction of the front, and as a result, he was gone.

Absent-mindedly after eating the Lantern Festival, I felt a little tired, so I let XiaoLan lead me to a secluded place.

I was no longer interested, and I casually looked at these arrangements on the dimly lit long street, but I saw a prince approaching me, and he also looked at me with some surprise.

"Girl, don't come unharmed."

At this moment, although he called me a girl, I did not feel any disrespect, but I was grateful, he did not reveal my identity, including the time in Meiling, he listened to my nagging so patiently.

"On that day, thank you very much for giving you wine, your big dick, I will return it to you another day when I have the opportunity."

"It's just a matter of raising your hand, it's not enough to hang your teeth."

I hesitated.

"Dare to ask the prince's name?"

"Don't dare to be, Xiaosheng Li Chengye, is just an aide to His Highness the Crown Prince."

He could accompany the Yongguo delegation to the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet in Da Liang, and he could also know the news of the death of the imperial brother, thinking that he was a noble prince, and his status was extraordinary, since he did not say it, then I did not ask much.

We walked to the stone bridge on the river, and suddenly there were fireworks, and the sky suddenly became unusually bright, and we invariably raised our heads.

The colors come and go, the sounds and lights come and go, and they bloom in the air in groups, like a hundred flowers in a flower field.

"It's beautiful. Fireworks have never been so good-looking before. I couldn't help but sigh.

"Probably because the occasions are different."

"Maybe." I understand what he means, before looking at the fireworks in the palace, I only felt gorgeous, and here, although it is messy, it is stained with folk atmosphere, making people feel that it is very lively, not so lonely and lonely.

I don't believe that the imperial brother was really murdered by that group of villains so easily, but so far the whereabouts are unknown, thinking about it, the mood has become heavy, "It's just a pity that it is fleeting, and after looking at the dark and heavy sky afterwards, what sound, what color and light are gone, I feel that I have been deceived." ”

Li Chengye drew the corners of his mouth, smiled softly, pointed to the flower lantern on the river surface, and said, "Why be so pessimistic, the world is uncertain, beautiful things always pin this hope, you see this flower lantern, with the river flowing, I don't know where the candle flame will be extinguished, then it will only be a ball of paper, nothing can be seen, but this is not the wish of the people at dawn after all." “

I looked at him inquiringly, this unborn prince, now there are only a few sides of the relationship, he seems to be a fan, this heart of the world, but it is the same as the imperial brother.

"What's wrong with the girl, what's wrong with what I said?"

"No, I just think it's a blessing for His Royal Highness the Prince to have an aide like you."

He may understand what I'm talking about, or maybe he doesn't understand, but he just chuckles and shakes his head.

At this moment, two young girls happened to pass by us, holding a tuan fan in their hands, half of their faces were whispering, and we heard them clearly.

"You see how well this Lang Jun stands with the lady next to him."

"I must have made love and come here to meet on the occasion of the Shangwei Festival."

"Right, right, you see, the two of them are standing so far away from them, they must be embarrassed to eavesdrop on them."

"I envy them..."

Their eyes looked back and forth around me and Li Chengye, even if I had nothing to do with him, I still couldn't help but blush when I was talked about. I didn't dare to look at Lee Seung-yeol's face until they were far away.

"Son, it's not too early, I'll go back first."

"Well, precious."

"So are you."

I hurried past him and headed in the direction of the palace.

”……“

He seemed to be saying something, but the fireworks were up again, and there was a lot of noise around, and I couldn't hear what he was saying.

As the queen mother said, things will always be extremely Tailai, it may be a trip to the palace, experience the folk Festival, and make a wish to the gods, feel that the atmosphere around them has become better, and the mood is also comfortable.

I moved a chair to take a nap under the plum tree, but suddenly heard that my father suddenly fainted after leaving the morning court, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital gathered in the Chengqian Palace to diagnose and treat the father.

They said that the father emperor was the root of the disease left by the imperial conquest, because of overwork suddenly attacked, this time, the father emperor could not afford to be ill, and the prince acted as the government.

However, less than half a month after the crown prince acted as a government official, Zhao Hengzhang impeached the imperial brother in the southwest fiefdom for many years in the courtroom, plundering the people's fat and people's anointing, colluding with the bandits in the southwest to exploit the people, and more importantly, he impeached the imperial brother for colluding with the border generals, intending to rebel against the country, revealing to the Yongguo the map of the frontier and the map of the marching formation.

Now the noble concubine mother and son alone control the harem, and one person stands firmly in the court, like the sun in the sky, and many people are stuttering. By virtue of a few so-called witnesses from the Western Fiefdom, they convicted the imperial brother and made him a traitor with no king and no father. There was no excuse for the crime, but no one in the whole court stood up and said a word for the imperial brother.

Later, the party of princes and princes of the DPRK and China jointly wrote a letter, stripping them of the title of imperial brother and degrading him to a waste, saying that the empress was immoral and that The empress Dowager Yi was made empress.

Although I have been in the palace for so many years, my brother is not dead, and I must not be deceived like this.

I went to the Chengqian Palace to look for my father and emperor, but I was blocked by the noble concubines with the concubines. "Qinghong, the emperor just took the medicine and fell asleep, you can come back another day."

"Then I will go in and see how my father is doing, and I will never disturb him to rest."

"Hong'er, Lin'er sat down so many ugly things, your father and emperor are even more sick, although these things have nothing to do with you, but these days you still don't come, this can make the emperor's illness get better."

"Noble Concubine Niangniang, I have come to visit Your Majesty as the son of the Middle Palace, and I want to know if Your Majesty is in good health, Niangniang, do you want to stop him?"

"Qinghong, what are you talking nonsense, the empress has been grounded for so many years, and the people in the palace are secretive, what do you want to do?"

"Noble concubine Niangniang, the noble concubine is a noble concubine after all, and no matter how favored she is, the phoenix seal is still in the hands of my mother." Hand in hand with my father and emperor, the mother of the country who looks at the world side by side is my mother's queen and not you, a concubine of the Xu family.

The Father forbade the mother's feet and had no other will. My mother is the original match, put in the folk, you are just a concubine.

At that time, the two of them were so loving, decades of husband and wife love, and now the father and emperor are seriously ill, the mother queen is grounded and cannot come to serve the sick, I, the daughter, naturally want to replace the mother queen to visit. Xu Shi, you are a concubine, are you also worthy to stop me? ”

Yi Guifei did not expect that after so many years of being well-behaved and docile, I would say these prickly words, tear her face off, and humiliate her in front of everyone.

Her face was blue and purple, and she was about to hit me with her raised hand, and in the past, all the virtuous and virtuous and calm and heavy she pretended to be was thrown away by him.

The noble concubine looked at me condescendingly, angrily, clutched the silk in her hand, gritted her teeth, but only smiled, and the words spoken by the flaming red lips made people feel gloomy and cold, "Well, you go in, after all, it is just a dying struggle." ”

As soon as I entered, all I saw were unfamiliar faces, and the previous internal officials and palace ladies had all been replaced, all of whom were noble concubines. I walked to my father's bed, but I was startled, which was the same as the father and emperor I saw at the Lantern Festival.

He had lost a lot of weight, his face was pale, he didn't look angry, and he didn't have the majesty of the past.

Seeing such a father, I went forward and shook his hand in pain. He suddenly opened his eyes, his lips gently opened and closed, and called out two words, and the corners of Yu Yu's eyes even overflowed with tears, leaving a faint tear mark on the black and white sideburns.

It turned out to be the maiden name of the queen mother.

"I'm sorry for you, our children, our children... He's dead. ”

Father, the Emperor, recognized me as a queen mother.

"Father Emperor, you have recognized the wrong person, I am Qinghong."

Father Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, threw away my hand with force, and knocked over the medicine cups on several cases with his arm. The group of people standing outside all knelt down.

"You all give me out!" The Father Roared, his hands covering his chest and coughing in pain.

The man on his knees did not move for a moment, and the Father Emperor said, "Why, if you want to talk to your daughter, do you also have to ask the noble concubine and the prince first?" ”

"The Emperor forgives sins." The people at the bottom whispered in unison.

I looked at my father and emperor in doubt, what has happened these days, why is this the situation in the Chengqian Temple, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, my father, why is there no Weiya.

The father was extremely angry, and with a wave of his hand, he broke a precious vase next to the bed, but he almost fell off the bed, and I hurriedly supported it.

"Get out!"

I vaguely understood something, the noble concubine and the prince crossed the sea in secret, wanting to set up the father and emperor, and the group of people kneeling in the palace were also playing for the tiger. Coupled with what they had done to the Emperor Brother before, I was angry from the heart, pulled out the sword by the father's window, and walked straight to the kneeling person.

Pointing my sword at them, I ordered, "Get out." ”

"The princess is angry." Facing the long sword, they were slightly frightened again, so that they didn't seem to move. I smiled, "Put your head up." ”

They all raised their heads, and I looked at them, at one of them who looked like a chief eunuch, clutching the hilt of his sword with both hands, and with all his strength, he stroked his hand, and the blood quickly flowed through his arm and to the ground.

Seeing my bloody heart, I felt sick in my heart, and the hand holding the sword was loosened, but I tried to control the expression on my face and keep myself majestic.

A few palace ladies screamed when they saw this, and everyone ran out, and I followed closely behind, and the noble concubine roared in disbelief, "Qinghong, what are you doing, what is crazy today?" ”

I put the knife directly on her neck and said defiantly, "If you let people in again, you won't just scratch your arm." ”

The few ladies and ladies who followed the noble concubine sighed. I didn't bother, and I went back to the dormitory without turning my head.

When he walked to his father's bed, he knelt down, "Father Emperor, it has just been a disrespectful son, please ask the father to atone for his sins." ”

The Father pulled me up and sat down in front of his bed, "Just here, I was really confused, and I recognized you as your mother." ”

The doubts that have not been solved for many years have been answered here.

It turned out that many years ago, General Hu Ben was only a deputy commander of the frontier. The man's name was Liu Xi, who guarded this frontier for his father's emperor, and his mother grew up with this Liu Xi general Qingmei Zhuma, and had a deep affection for his father, who was still the crown prince at the time, and later, when his mother married his father, General Liu Xi went to the frontier town with his father and did not return for many years.

A year Chinese New Year's Eve, the young general returned Old friends of the past put wine and joy. However, someone told his father that he had seen his mother and General Liu Xi enter a side hall, and they had not yet come out, and those two were the current great general of The Tiger Ben and an uncle of the mother queen's mother's clan.

Soon after, my mother became pregnant with me, and my father had always been angry about the love between my mother and General Liu Xi's green plum bamboo horse, and even personally questioned my mother, and the mother queen had only four words from beginning to end, "The qing is self-purifying." ”

Later, the 150,000-strong army of the Zhongshan Kingdom suppressed the border. However, at that time, the matter between the mother and the empress dowager and General Liu Xi spread in the army again, the military's heart was shaken, and the pre-war disrespect, General Liu Xi and his 5,000 elite soldiers were besieged by 100,000 enemy troops of the Yan State, and Ma Ge was wrapped in corpses.

When his father's men arrived at the body of General Liu Xi, he still had in his arms the purse that his mother had embroidered for him when she was in the boudoir.

The empress dowager felt ashamed of General Liu Xi, and as soon as I was born, she named me Qinghong. The name Qinghong was a joke made by her mother when she was playing with General Liu Xi when she was a child, and if the two of them became relatives on the day, the daughter would be called Qinghong.

The father and emperor were very angry about this, and coupled with the swaying of others at that time, the father and emperor grounded the mother queen, but the mother herself let people tell the father and emperor, "I will not see you in this life."

"In fact, I have never believed other people's words, I just hate, she is not willing to explain to me, all these years I don't want to see him, but I don't know how to face it." Your mother must have thought that I killed Liu Xi, and between us, there is no way back to the beginning. ”

The Father Paused for a moment and then said, "Whenever I see you, I always think of him." He was one of the few close friends I had when I was young, and I owed him after all. ”

"Qinghong, don't blame your father."

I only said, "Father Emperor, why is it that only the old disease has recurred, but you are so sick?" ”

The prince had already heard the news and rushed to him, and before he could see him, he heard his voice, "You should still care about yourself first." ”

The crown prince and the noble concubine walked in from outside and glanced at a pool of blood on the ground, "Imperial Sister, after so many years, I didn't even know that you still have such a skill, but it is different from your imperial brother who is nesting." ”

I was trying to argue for my brother, but I heard my father say, "You go out, and I don't want to see you now." ”

"Father Emperor, my patience is also limited, so you should hurry up and write the Edict of Zen." I can kill your son, and next time, I can kill your daughter, and your queen. ”

"You... You have lost all your conscience, forcing your father to kill your brother, and you have been born a man. "I rushed forward, but I was slapped to the ground by the prince.

The Father Emperor pointed angrily at the noble concubine, "Look, this is the good son you taught." ”

"Emperor, after so many years, you and I know in our hearts that I am just a stand-in for the one in Changchun Palace, so over the years, I have learned to do what she hopes to do, her personality, all of her things, but now I am tired and fed up."

"Shut up." The Father scolded.

"Get out."

"Father Emperor, the sons and daughters have been the crown prince for twenty years, and they have done enough, and I hope that the father and emperor will consider it carefully." The prince turned to the noble concubine again and said, "Queen Mother, let's go." ”

The prince looked at me twice and said again.

"Oh, yes, Father Emperor, the frontier has been in a hurry recently, the Yan Kingdom and the Yong Kingdom's half-million-strong army have already approached the city, and there were still generals Liu Xi stationed on the frontier, but now it is different, the sons are worried about no countermeasures, your daughter looks like a heavenly immortal, and is solving a big problem for the sons, you say, the sons sent him to the Yong kingdom and the relatives."

The prince stared at me again and said, "Come, man, send the princess back." ”

To me, all of this seemed to be an overnight affair, the father was sick, and I was also put under house arrest by the prince in the name of recuperation, and only XiaoLan was waiting by his side.

I have been living in danyou lately, what will the prince do to his father and emperor, if he does not agree to Zen to give up the throne, will the prince have something to do to his mother, and the brother has no whereabouts.

The light rain on tianjie is as moist as crisp, and the winter snow of the girder has long since melted away, and the first spring rain of the year has begun. The gentle rain fell on my face, and I was reluctant to go into the house.

Xiao Lan hurriedly took an umbrella from the house to support me above my head, the cold in the early spring was the most afraid of entering the body, she was afraid of my sick, and took the cloak from the house to me, but it was the one that Li Chengye gave me at the beginning.

I looked down at the fluff between my necks, and Xiao Lan asked incomprehensibly, "What's wrong, is this one too thick?" ”

"No, it's good."

Actually, I wanted to drink. Sitting under the eaves, Xiao Lan arranged the charcoal fire for cooking wine one by one. A bottle of wine, a plate of green plums, so uncomfortable, but unfortunately, came an uninvited guest.

The long-closed gate was opened from the outside, and Zhao Hengzhang appeared in the misty rain wearing a light purple dress and a paper umbrella. I was in a trance for a moment, wasn't that what I'd often seen in my dreams over the years?

I was already a little smoky and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"The courtier Zhao Hengzhang has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Zhao Gongzi came by coincidence, I am driving hot wine on the stove, Xiao Lan, give the seat."

Zhao Hengzhang sat down across from me, and I poured him a glass of wine. But it is relatively silent.

"Princess, I haven't seen you in many days, are you okay?"

"With Lao Zhao Gongzi hanging up, Qinghong is all right."

"That's fine." He looked at the wine in the glass for half a moment, looked at me, and gently raised his lips and said, "Princess, this wine is so good." ”

My heart trembled, and I panicked not to go over, and quickly responded, "Zhao Gongzi is busy with official business, or drink less, don't get drunk." ”

"Princess." Zhao Hengzhang slowly stood up, bowed to me, and said, "Princess, the subject is here today..."

He groaned for a long time before he said, "The minister wants to tell you today that the Yongguo of Yan has agreed to withdraw its troops, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been preparing for peace affairs with the Yongguo." ”

After listening, I was also stunned for half a moment, and I once comforted myself that the prince just wanted to threaten his father and emperor and try to tease me. I had been running away, thinking that if I didn't think about it, it would not exist, and at this moment, I really wanted to drive away Zhao Hengzhang. As long as he doesn't say it, I don't know anything.

Seeing that I did not answer, I helplessly performed a salute and said, "In the next step, I will retreat." ”

He silently turned around, looked back at me again, and left. I hurriedly shouted, "General Zhao stayed." ”

He turned around again and patiently waited for me to speak, "General Xiao Zhao, the mountain is high and the road is far away, it is good for you to send me a kiss." ”

"Okay." Looking at Zhao Hengzhang's back, the youngest and most promising general of the Great Liang, I would still think, which one is the real him, the killer of the Imperial Brother's family, the one who killed the decisive one, or the gentle and elegant one at this time, or none of them.

After more than a month, the new emperor Song Jinjing personally came with Zhao Hengzhang, as well as Zheng Bokao, the prince of the Yongguo Kingdom, and Princess Qinghong of Da Liang and the state letter of his relatives.

After he left, he left only a few words, "Imperial Sister, you represent the face of Da Liang, the father and emperor and I have prepared a very rich dowry for you, but it is ten miles of red makeup, the day of the summer solstice, it is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and I personally send you out of the city." ”

Yes, it was the new emperor, Song Jinjing lost his conscience and threatened his father with his mother's life and the five cities on the frontier, if the father did not allow it, he would depose his mother on the grounds that General Liu Xi had done, and gave the five cities on the frontier as part of my dowry to the Yong kingdom.

Song Jinjing knew the weakness of his father, and for an emperor, these two things were a great shame, so he compromised, and that night at the Chengqian Palace, I personally saw my father press the jade seal on the edict that Song Jinjing had already drafted, and handed the jade seal to him.

However, within a few days, Song Jinjing ascended the throne, and the dignity of Da Liang, he did not depose his mother, nor did he take the title of imperial brother, and even on the second day of his ascension to the throne, he named me Princess Gulun and Jing, giving me a very beautiful and decent identity.

"Princess, what can I do about this?" Do you really want to marry into the Yong Kingdom, and Da Liang is not only a princess of you? Why did the emperor come to force you? ”

"He didn't deal with me like he did with the imperial brother, but he performed the posture of a MingJun who was dressed in an embattled way, and that was because he couldn't, if I died in the palace for no reason, the two children of the mother and queen died for no reason, and how would the world look at him as the new emperor in the former dynasty, how would he evaluate him, and how would his throne sit firmly." However, he personally admitted in front of me that the imperial brother was sent by him to kill him, and how could he be at ease when he left me in the palace. ”

"Then we can only resign ourselves to it?"

"Xiao Lan, peace and relatives did not force me, if there is a war on the frontier, the people will certainly suffer from it, fifteen conscriptions, eighty parties return, too bitter, if the imperial brother knows, it will be difficult to live day and night."

After Xiao Lan retreated, all four of them were quiet, and I had only thought about it before, if I couldn't marry Zhao Hengzhang, at most I would only be promised by my father and emperor to the famous nobles to win over the courtiers. It turned out that my destination was thousands of miles away, and the thought that my husband was not Zhao Hengzhang still hurt in my heart.

I had seen Zheng Bokao, and at the dinner party in the previous palace, I thought of his arrogant attitude and the flow on his face, as well as the complicated political situation in Yongguo, and my heart began to worry. I can't see the road ahead.

Every time I think of Yongguo, I will think of Li Chengyelai, judging from his temperament, he is not a prince's staff, he must also be a prince and a grandson. He is a person who has appeared in the mirror of the too virtual, is there any entanglement between him and me?

I have been locked up in the dormitory, Song Jinjing specially loved someone to teach me the etiquette of Yongguo, the sun rises and sets, the clouds cirrus cloud Shu, I spent in a long wait, in my heart, and relatives are not a fixed number, but even I don't know myself, what I am waiting for, when no one is waiting, I look for it over and over again in the makeup cabinet and various corners, hoping to find the one that is too quiet, maybe from the inside, I can know something.

But until the night before the peace, when Song Jinjing came to me, I found nothing and did not wait for anything. He gave me a dagger and told me never to forget Princess Gu Lun and Jing, the princess of Da Liang, and his meaning could not have been more obvious, and I took it silently.

On the day of my marriage, I finally met my mother, in front of everyone, she could only say some words of etiquette and rules to me, but there were tears in her eyes, and I understood that there were too many meanings, and I could not do anything.

The carriage carried me away, and when I left the city gate, I still couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace wall, only to see the father and emperor supporting the mother and looking at me, and when they saw me, they saw the queen wiping her tears with a square towel and waving goodbye to me, I could only look at them gently and said, "Take care." ”

On this day, Song Jinjing really personally sent me out of the city, and Zhao Hengzhang also fulfilled his original promise and personally escorted and pro-team. Thousands of people are empty alleys, and the people are looking at each other. For some reason, when the wind blew up the curtain, I saw a very familiar hairpin, which was obviously given to the imperial sister-in-law after my surrogate mother that day.

I hurriedly opened the curtain again and took a look, and between the two familiar backs, dressed in plain clothes, with their backs crossed the sea of people, they quickly left. That's it, brother! This time I would never admit it, it was him.

In order to prevent Song Jinjing and Zhao Hengzhang from seeing the beginning, I sat back down again, and my heart went up and down.

The carriage went outside the city, and the red makeup in front of and behind the carriage spread as if there was no end in sight, and Song Jinjing said, "Imperial Sister, you see how the dowry prepared for you is." ”

"Ten miles of red makeup, Qinghong is not very grateful."

But when Song Jinjing stayed under the city gate and Zhao Hengzhang continued to escort me north, I understood that this political marriage between the two countries had tied me to a dilemma, and if there was a dispute between the two countries one day, how should I let it go. How did my husband, whom I had never met, treat me?

But there is one thing I also understand, looking at the pair of hands on the skirt that were tightly held by the mother queen, which seemed to still have the temperature of the mother queen, I gently read, "Father Emperor, Mother Queen, Imperial Brother, Hong'er from today onwards, is the woman of the Yong Kingdom." ”

Xiao Lan saw that I was so sad, so she comforted, "Princess don't be sad, Xiao Lan will always accompany the princess." ”

I nodded my head silently, but as if thinking of something, she covered her mouth in horror, looked at me with wide eyes, and said, "Princess, you said, the emperor is suspicious by nature, he knows that you will not look forward to killing your brother, will he, will he let General Zhao do something to you on the road!" ”

"Xiao Lan, don't be afraid, the black clouds press the city, the soldiers of the Yan kingdom and the Yong kingdom will come back at any time, he is for the peace of the frontier, he will let me marry far away, he wants to play the Ming Emperor who rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, rest assured, there will be no problem."

Xiao Lan and I whispered or were discovered by Zhao Hengzhang, who approached the carriage road, "Princess, what happened?" ”

"Nothing, the general continues to hurry."

Along the way, I always think back to the back I saw when I was in the Imperial City, that is, the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law were not wrong. However, the imperial brother was a man with great ambitions, how could he allow someone like Song Jinjing to sit on the throne, and more importantly, on that day, did he come to send me with such an act?

Yes, the royal brother also knows that I went to peace to stop the war, he will not be unwilling, but why is he obviously alive, but he does not come to me?

At this moment, I have more mysteries in my heart, about Zheng Bokao, about the imperial brother, about Zhao Hengzhang.

The farther north you go, the closer you get to Yongcheng, the border between the two countries. One night, Zhao Hengzhang and his team camped in the forest, and I deliberately avoided everyone and called Zhao Hengzhang into my carriage.

He sat down in the carriage in his uniform, and although he pretended to be calm, I could see his uneasiness.

I said unhurriedly, "Zhao Gongzi, you will be in Weicheng in two days, do you have anything to say to me?" ”

"Nothing."

I slowly leaned closer and asked again, and he stared into my eyes, and in my heart, it was still like boiling water, burning painfully.

He slowly raised his hand, stopped in mid-air for a long time, and finally put it back. I tried to catch a trace of emotion in his eyes, but it was so chaotic inside that I looked inside, like entering a dense forest and getting lost.

"Zhao Gongzi, have you ever had a heart for me?" Seeing a slight tremor in his eyes, I continued to ask, "Even a little?" ”

"Not really."

So determined. "Okay, I see."

I laughed. Taking advantage of his lack of attention, he used all his strength to plunge the dagger that the prince had given me into his chest. I only hate myself or my heart is soft, the dagger is stabbed, and it is still a little distance from the heart.

Zhao Hengzhang looked at me in disbelief and spat out a mouthful of blood in pain.

"General Zhao, from today onwards, we will not owe each other anything. What you owe my brother, today I will use the wound to pay you back. From this day forward, I will not think of you, life or death. ”

He looked at me dumbfounded and muttered, "Good." ”

After he left, I still cried without controversy, feeling like my heart was cut by a blunt knife, and the blood around me was slowly dried up, Xiao Lan hugged me and comforted, "It's all right, after crying, everything is just a passing cloud." ”

The next day, someone asked about his injuries, but he and the gangsters sneaked up on this kind of name to cover up the past, and I laughed at this, and what did I have to do with it?

Arriving in Weicheng, waiting for the pro-team to step on the border of the Yong Kingdom, I never opened the curtain to see Zhao Hengzhang's last glance, in fact, from the very beginning of the year, we are the special way, strangers, between me and him, there has always been only my fantasy, perhaps, I should not be too persistent.

Yongguo is half a snow country, although the water in the river melts, but it flows with winter snow melting on the high mountains, so it still feels cold.

At night, it was still cold, and the general in charge of escorting and pro-teaming asked everyone to set up a fire. Only to hear the sound of the flute outside, the Qiang pipe leisurely, full of moonlight, I called Xiao Lan over.

"Xiao Lan, call the general over."

Every roll of screens, I asked, "General, who is playing the flute?" ”

"Princess don't blame, I told them to stop immediately."

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask, who is playing the flute. This flute sound makes people feel quite nostalgic in their hearts. ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, we were stationed at the border pass with Her Highness the Prince, and then When Her Royal Highness the Prince returned to Beijing, we were left behind, and we have not returned home for three or four years.

Will Zheng Bokao still garrison the frontier? At this moment, I can't help but think of another person, who is more like the person who came back to the frontier to garrison.

"As it is, thank you general for telling me, you go down."

We walked on the road for more than ten days before we arrived at Yindu, which is the imperial capital of the Yong kingdom. Sitting in the carriage, you can also feel the bustle of this city, which is known as the world's first capital, the carriage stopped outside the city, some people went out of the city to greet you, I heard the general you shouted, "Your Highness the Prince."

This is that Zheng Bokao, last year's Mid-Autumn Festival feast, although I only met once, but I was disgusted and disgusted with him from the bottom of my heart, in the future, the same room as husband and wife, how can I live it.

The general walked to my carriage and said through the curtain, "Princess, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, the boat and the car are tired, please go to the translation hall with the pro-team first to rest, and the matter of becoming a relative will be held the day after tomorrow." ”

"There's labor."

A gust of wind blew through, lifting the corner of the carriage curtain, and at the front of the crowd, a man in green clothes rode on a white horse, and only that glance had a vague sense of familiarity, as if the deceased had reunited.

In the translation hall, the etiquette of Yongguo, or the etiquette of Zheng Bokao, was thoughtful everywhere, and he was worried that the people I brought were not familiar with here, and he also sent a few maids to serve my living, jade plate zhen shy, silk silk, gold and jade.

On the day of marriage, I was called up early to dress up, the prince took the concubine, there was a lot of red tape, I stepped on many thresholds, and the number of steps to walk into the temple to kneel and worship the emperor was also exquisite, just like the red silk that the prince and I each held a corner, after several hours, many forms, I was tied to him.

In this land of other countries that used to be almost like a war, I was like duckweed floating on it, helpless, worried, these hours, originally very long, but also fast, unconsciously I have sat in the cave.

The candlelight illuminated the new house brightly, and I looked at the red hijab in front of me that blocked the view, and looked down at the happy shoes leaning together, and my heart was indeed full of mixed tastes.

I can't help but think of Zhao Hengzhang, in the past many years, I used to think that this wedding dress, as well as the section "Happy today's red rope is tied, the beads are combined." Bu Ta Nian White Head Yong Kai, Gui Fu Lan Xin. "The words were for me and him.

However, the one who is married today is "Princess Gulun and Jing Princess Rou Jia Shu Shun, Graceful and Graceful, Dignified Shu Rui, Ke Ling Ke Rou, An Zhen Ye Ji, Yong He Pure, is the pearl in the palm of His Majesty the Emperor of Da Liang." Crown Prince Zheng Bokao, who was earnest and respectful, said that he was diligent and diligent, filial piety was achieved in nature, and the son's way was not lost; Qing Cao was in his life, and he did not slacken off; he read the meticulousness of the cardinal and saw the calmness of the ceremony, and he was the nephew of Yuan. It is a good match, may the Liang kingdom henceforth marry the beauty of Qin and Jin, and be friendly for generations. May the two of you pass on the story of QinSer and Ming from now on. ”

The words of the celebrant were still ringing in his ears, and someone pushed the door in.

He stopped at the door for a moment, then closed it again and walked straight toward me, his steps very light. But I looked nervous, my heart was pounding, and I subconsciously pursed my lips.

The heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and the face of a person flashed in his mind, he was draped in fox fur, his facial features were upright, and he stood quietly in the distance looking at me, which was the appearance I had seen in the tai virtual mirror, when Li Chengye.

He got a little closer, and I could smell the slight drunkenness of his body, his hands hidden under his sleeves, unconsciously and nervously tugging at his clothes, not daring to move, not even daring to breathe.

A pair of hands with reddish nails appeared in front of me, and then the head was lifted, the candle was bright, and I finally saw the arrogant Zheng Bokao clearly. But I never thought it was Lee Seung-yeol!

"Prince......... Your Highness. I asked carefully, but in fact, I was happily relieved in my heart, and I suddenly remembered the four words that my mother said, "No Ji Tai Lai", no matter what, I always felt like the dark clouds that had been hovering overhead gradually dispersed.

"Princess, don't come unharmed."

"Don't come unharmed, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

I obediently led me to a table draped in red cloth and sat down, silent.

"Confined to etiquette, I couldn't see you two days ago, this line, the road is long, the car and horse are bumpy, are you all right?"

"All good."

"There are many ceremonies for becoming a relative on this day, and it is hard for you. You haven't eaten on this day, do you want to eat a little first? ”

"Okay."

I don't know why I didn't dare to look at him, so I could only stare at the pastries on the table and put them in my mouth and bite them, and the red candles in the new room flickered, and the silence returned, only some liveliness could be heard outside. Zheng Bokao poured me another cup of tea.

"Don't choke."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"If you are unfamiliar, just call Your Highness."

The red candle flickered, it had been burning for more than half a day, and he sat quietly across from me, and I still did not dare to look at him, but I could feel his calm gaze. As for Lee Seung-yeol's matter, he didn't mention it, he didn't mention it, and I didn't ask.

"Well eaten?"

"Hmm." I nodded gently.

Between words, he took two steps to me, bent down to pick me up, put me on the bed, and untied the red bird tent. Before I could react, warm lips kissed, and he hugged me, my head pressed against his broad chest...

I woke up in the middle of the night, his arms around me, the red tent still burning in the red candle, crackling from time to time. He glanced at the man overhead and turned his back gently to him. Unconsciously, there was a bit of a trance, the boudoir woman became a parent, three books and six ceremonies, the cave flower candle, how big a thing kiss, how meaningful, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I became a bride.

Looking back on everything today, who else is beside this prince, Zheng Bokao is also Li Chengye, and it is so real. I turned around gently, carefully traced his nose and lips with my eyes, raised my arm that still had his marks, and gently stroked his lips, and in the middle of the night, there was a love between men and women, and for me, he was different from any other man or even with Zhao Hengzhang.

Breathe softly, and tears gently slip from the corners of your eyes.

He suddenly opened his eyes, "Awake? ”

I panicked and moved my hand away. But he saw the tears on my face, raised his hand to wipe them gently, he looked at me, there was nothing in his eyes, and it seemed that there was everything, his lips moved slightly, as if to say something, his lips squirmed, but in the end he didn't say anything, and he held me tightly in his arms, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

The next day I woke up empty, but I reached out and touched it, and there was still some temperature. The temperature slowly flowed from my fingertips to all parts of my body, until the maid who had groomed me pushed the door in and I didn't react.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, drawing eyebrows, the morning light through the window paper from the outside to invite in, on the outside of the porch when someone walking around with something, the sound of clicking disturbed my heart can not be calm, should be preparing for breakfast.

Xiao Lan was holding Shi Dai and preparing to help me draw my eyebrows, I raised my hand to stop, "Xiao Lan, let me paint it myself." ”

"Princess, this is not appropriate..."

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, zheng Bokao walked in from outside, and I quickly got up and slightly bent my knees to salute, "Your Highness." ”

"If only I had painted it for Qinghong."

"Ah..."

He walked over to me, gently pressed me back into the chair, pointed at the bronze mirror, picked up the stone dai and gestured to paint, I wanted to say and stopped.

"Don't be afraid, in the past, I used to draw on rice paper and make up and draw eyebrows, which should be okay."

Several of the waitresses retreated to the side, I raised my eyes, secretly observing the look of Zheng Bokao in the bronze mirror, his lips were lightly closed, very serious look, the movement of the eyebrows was not as smooth as me and Xiaolan, and even a little clumsy, but his cautious appearance also drew the eyebrows very well.

He casually put down his pen and said, "Beautiful." I buried my head shyly.

Xiao Lan continued to dress up for me, coiling his hair and inserting a golden step shake, and Zheng Bokao sat quietly on the side, waiting for me to go to breakfast together.

Today, on the first day of the peace, I was going to enter the palace to meet the emperor. Zheng Bokao and I sat face to face in the carriage, and since he got on the carriage, he had begun to close his eyes and recuperate, his fists slightly clenched.

I couldn't help but secretly look at him, remembering the sudden opening of his eyes last night, and I hurriedly brushed my head away and looked away.

According to the emperor's brother, when Zheng Chonglu was dying, Zheng Chongyu and Zheng Bokao, as well as several cabinet ministers, were summoned to the dragon bed and specified that they would let the prince Zheng Chongyu inherit the unification and take charge of the imperial government, and Zheng Bokao, who was just fourteen years old at the time, was still the honor of the crown prince.

The former emperor was really strange, like he wanted to be alone, but it was more like giving the world to someone else, maybe there was something hidden in it.

I looked back at Zheng Bokao again, but I saw that he was also looking at me, and it seemed that the water in the pool was too deep to see the bottom, and the noise and noise outside seemed to be in full view, and it seemed that all of them were isolated.

He said to me with interest, "Qinghong, sit down next to me." ”

"Hmm."

I was just about to get up, and as soon as his long arm was pulled, he imprisoned me in his arms, and I almost exclaimed, but my mouth was blocked by his wide palm.

Although we have walked through the skin kiss, but also husband and wife, but changed the occasion, but still can not adapt to such intimate contact, the heart began to flutter and jump, the brain is blank.

I tried to struggle, but she said a word, as if I had done something wrong, and I felt ashamed

"Qinghong, don't make a fuss."

He adjusted a sitting position so that I could sit comfortably on his lap, then lowered his head, his lips slowly moving from my forehead to the base of his ear, speaking in a voice that only the two of us could hear.

"The emperor only knows that I have been to Da Liang once, and if he asks about the meeting on the day of the Shangwei Festival, don't say it, but it's good."

Although I didn't understand why, I nodded my head slightly.

"Well, got it, Your Highness."

"The people in the palace, no matter who they are, don't get too close to them, you know?"

I looked at him inexplicably and asked softly, "Your Highness, why is this?" ”

He stared at me for a long time, "For me." ”

I pursed my lips, as if I understood his words, and for a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "It's also for you." ”

At this time, the carriage had reached the palace, and without waiting for me to answer, Zheng Bokao put me on the seat next to me, and someone outside the carriage reminded, "Your Highness, Niangniang, I have arrived." ”

We met the Emperor and the Empress dowager in the Queen's Palace, who sat side by side on the throne, their dark yellow robes showing the majesty of the royal family.

"Prince, I personally watched you get married yesterday, and I also counted a matter of affairs that have been a widow for many years, and I finally have an explanation with the former emperor."

"All this depends on His Majesty's fulfillment, and the Emperor is grateful for his love."

"Bo Kao, they are all family, don't be so constrained." After saying that, the emperor swept over me and said, "The former emperor collapsed the prince of the world, and the widow regarded you as a parent, and I hope that the two of you will live hand in hand in the future. ”

"Emperor Xie."

"Hahaha, hurry up, hurry up, it's all family, no need to be formal." The emperor smiled contentedly, and at the sight of his father and emperor, there was the momentum of the four seas of Weiya, which made me think of the ambitious emperor who annexed the Zhongshan Kingdom.

However, he was fiercer than his father.

The four of us ate around the round table, but I always felt a little scared in my heart, and Zheng Bokao squeezed my hand under the table, signaling me to be at ease.

"Qinghong, you are indeed a very good match for a prince." How's it going, how are you getting along? ”

"Qinghong and His Highness get along very well, and they hate each other late."

"Oh yes, you guys are newlyweds, And Berkau is a good boy and will treat you well." By the way, the last time you saw each other, it's been three or four months now, right? ”

"Back to Niangniang, my royal highness and the crown prince met for the first time yesterday, and the Mid-Autumn Festival feast that I had seen for more than half a year was originally a chance to see me, but at that time I was unwell, so my father and emperor asked me to go back earlier."

"That's the way it is."

The empress dowager still looked at me as she spoke, but she looked at me as if she had inadvertently looked at me.

Back to the Prince's Mansion. Zheng Bokao helped my men out of the carriage, but instead of letting go, he grabbed me with his backhand and dragged me to his study.

And the maid served tea.

"I heard that you were very good at craftsmanship when you were in Liangguo, burning incense in spring and summer to boil tea, and playing the piano in winter and spring to cook wine, which was very comfortable. In the courtyard, Mei Xiang was permanent, reading and writing, leisurely. ”

Qinghong also heard that His Highness was both literate and martial, able to sprinkle literature and ink and raise a glass to invite Mingyue. Silver saddle white horse, fluttering like a shooting star, heroic arrogance, shooting stones and drinking feathers, stepping on snow without a trace. ”

He smiled and turned his back to me, one hand behind his back, his eyes peering through the open window to see the flowers outside.

"Qinghong, have you regretted becoming my wife?"

I looked at his back and broad shoulders. The wind blew outside the window, blowing a leaf from the outside into the window, and it hovered around the room a few times, and finally quietly fell on Zheng Bokao's shadow. I picked up the leaf, thought a lot about it, and frowned, not knowing how to answer.

Originally, I was going to see Liang Di Liangyuan in the Prince's Mansion today, but the two concubines that Zheng Bokao had taken in earlier, one died of illness, the other had difficulty giving birth, and also died, and the child could not be left.

When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little desolate.

As soon as I entered the Prince's Mansion, I asked scholars to take care of the affairs of the palace, and people exchanged feelings, and Zheng Bokao only said to let me take it slowly. Our days were like a normal couple, I prepared water for him to change clothes, we shared a bed, in the morning we listened to him get up louder, dressed him, sent him to the court, had dinner together, he cooked warm soup for him when he was busy in the study, boiled some tea, and learned to make snacks with the master of the dining room, and sent him.

But I would still worry about my brother, I thought that when I arrived at Dayong, he might have a letter to me, but there was still no news, he could not show up, I had a premonition that he was planning something, but still worried about his situation.

The empress always sent some jewelry, cloth or something to the prince's mansion, often invited me into the palace to talk, if Zheng Bokao was there, he could accompany me, if he was not there, I would have to deal with it myself, saying anything had to be thought about in my heart first, tired, sometimes Zheng Bokao was also there, but could not go with me, so she asked people to talk back, saying that I was sick, infected with wind and cold, the queen always sent someone to inquire, send a lot of tonics.

At night, I was reading poems under the lamp, and when I read the ancient poem "That is, to see a gentleman, Yun Hu is not happy", Zheng Bokao came. He also carried a food box in his hand.

"I'll see you eat less at dinner, try this."

It turned out to be a mille-feuille cake, and Yunsheng crisp, which were all pastries often made by the Da Liang Palace, and I had a feeling of being absent for a long time when I ate it, and I laughed happily and said, "Well, it's delicious." ”

Zheng Bokao suddenly picked up the towel and gently wiped the corner of my lips twice, and said softly, "The corners of the mouth are dirty." ”

"Your Highness."

I reached out and handed him a piece of cake to his lips and asked, "Your Highness taste it." ”

Only to see Zheng Bokao lean forward, he took a bite, "Well, delicious." ”

I looked at him in a daze, and it didn't take long for me to react and smile at each other.

He saw the book on my desk, picked it up, turned it over two pages, and read, "Lady, gentleman." ”

I heard it, but pretended to be concentrating on the pastry as if I hadn't heard it.

"Qinghong?"

He called out my name, his eyes reflected the light of the candle flame, and we were so close that I could see a faint shadow in his eyes, and that was me.

"Huh?"

"I'll give you one thing back."

"What?"

Zheng Bokao raised his hand and closed my eyes, and the room was quiet, only the pastries on the table had a seemingly innocent fragrance. All I could hear was the sound of something on the table.

When I opened my eyes, there was only a jade bracelet and a hairpin on the table, something I was all too familiar with.

I looked at them, not daring to touch them, only to feel that my eyes were sour, tears were already swirling in my eyes, and my vision had become blurred.

Teeth tremble softly between mouths, and there is a buzzing sound in the ears.

"Someone deliberately led me to a tea house today, handed me this thing over, and asked me to hand it over to you."

"Brother." I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and asked, "Your Highness, who is that person?" But what else did you say? ”

"I don't know. He only said that the things of the deceased, as a sender, are good for self-cherishing. ”

Zheng Bokao just gently patted my back to soothe, tears fell on his shoulders drop by drop, he didn't ask anything, his fingers gently wiped the tears from my cheeks for me, and left. As soon as the door closed, I finally let out a cry.

When I woke up the next day, my throat was dumb and my eyes were swollen as big as walnuts, and Zheng Bokao was worried about me, and specially invited a doctor from the palace to heal me.

Just when the inner warden in the upper palace came to pass on the message, let me attend this year's Mid-Autumn Festival feast with Zheng Bokao, I was still hesitating, but Zheng Bokao said, "The crown princess has been ill recently, and it is inconvenient to attend, so you can go back." ”

As soon as the inner warden left, the palace people sent by the empress dowager came, brought a lot of medicine, and interrogated a lot.

While covering my mouth and coughing, I replied, "The concubine was sick at the wrong time, disturbing Niangniang Yaxing, please ask my aunt to say a few words to Niangniang on my behalf. ”

The palace man yin and yang said strangely, "At this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, General Zhao Hengzhang of da liang came with an envoy to congratulate the two countries to show that the two countries are good, and if the crown princess does not attend, I am afraid it is inappropriate." ”

Zheng Bokao, who was standing nearby, took me into his arms and asked, "The lonely princess is still sick, you say?" ”

The palace man was obviously frightened by Zheng Bokao's intimidation, said two good words to rest, and then left.

I looked at him again and again, but he said indifferently, "Rest assured, it's all right." ”

Zheng Bokao rarely had time to spare, so he stayed at home with me.

In the evening, the clouds stained half the sky red, and the light scattered on the tiles of the roof of the Prince's Mansion, reflecting the soft glow of the sunset, and the Prince's Mansion was picturesque.

I sat with him in the study and watched the sun slowly sink, and then I said, "The sunset is infinitely better, but it is nearly dusk." ”

"There are many scenery in the world, I don't know the sunset, tomorrow morning, there is also a sunrise, the rain is clear, you see the rainbow, Qinghong does not have to be sad."

I turned to look at him, listening quietly to this, but remembering his words on the bridge that day.

"How does Qinghong see me like this?"

"I remember an old friend who was under the fireworks on New Year's Eve last year, and he was as clear as His Highness." I joked.

"But I remember the two women crossing the bridge saying that you and I were like a match, it turned out to be the truth."

I looked away in shame, but fortunately Zheng Bokao's attendant came in and reminded him to change his clothes.

When I change clothes for him. He looked at me with a look of anguish on his face, and as I sorted out his clothes, I instructed, "Your Highness drink less wine, don't get drunk." ”

"What did Qinghong just say?"

I looked up, but Zheng Bokao suddenly took my lips and kissed from shallow to deep, until then the breathing was staggered, and we ourselves were stunned.

Seeing Zheng Bokao go out, I began to talk to the housekeeper about tonight's affairs. In fact, at the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fuchu had already begun to prepare a few days ago, but I was just watching from the side to see what was wrong.

I looked around and saw a slave looking at me in the distance, and we looked at each other twice, and he turned and walked toward the secluded place. He wasn't like the people in the house, but he seemed to want to lead me over.

Remembering the man Zheng Bokao said yesterday, I followed.

It turned out that he had been waiting for me early behind the rockery.

"The little man has seen the princess."

"Who are you?"

"The little man is a person close to the emperor, and this time he came with the delegation to have something to tell the princess."

"The emperor asked me to tell the princess that he gave you honor, and you also injured General Xiao Zhao in Weicheng, and you don't owe each other anything." Please princess remember that you are the princess of the girder, at all times. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The man handed me a sachet and said.

"The prince of Yongguo, Wanfu Modang, Wen Tao Wuluo, keeping him, will always be a hidden danger to the frontier, this is the emperor specially for the princess to find the soulless dispersion from the Yan country, the princess only needs to go down to the prince's tea and dinner day by day, in less than half a year, he will never wake up, although alive, but also like a dead man."

His Majesty will take the princess back to Da Liang on the grounds that both the Emperor and the Emperor miss the princess, and if the princess wishes, he can let The General Shang Princess of Zhao Hengzhang be the original wife of the main room. ”

I laughed and said, "Brother Huang really made a good calculation, and you told him on my behalf, Qinghong will never forget." ”

I tried again to the man, "Brother Emperor, do you have anything else for you to give me, or do you have anything to say to me?" ”

"No more."

"Okay, I get it."

Receiving the sachet into my sleeve robe, I went back to my bedchamber. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Lan with his attendants cleaning up the yard, so he commanded, "Xiao Lan, you go and help me get a pot of warm water, and I will wash my hands." ”

Pour all the wuluo into the pot, but it is colorless and tasteless, and it is all dissolved in water.

"Xiao Lan, you pour some of this water into the potted plant and try it."

Xiao Lan had just sprinkled water into it according to my words, and the original green leaves instantly withered yellow, and in a few moments they died.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind my back, and sighed, "A good one borrowed a knife to kill people, a calculation of killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Princess, what's wrong?"

I told Xiao Lan roughly the truth of the matter, "This is not a reckless scattering, this is a soul erosion dispersion, I heard the imperial brother say that these two poisons are extremely confusing, the latter into warm water, just a little, pour into the roots of the tree, then the tree will die in three or two days." If someone takes it every day, the toxin accumulates day by day, and then they will die violently. ”

"If the incident occurs, the biggest suspect will be me, and in the end, Zheng Bokao will die, and they will not let me go."

"But Princess, you dumped all this stuff, what are you going to do later?"

"In this life, I have long been inseparable from him."

I poured the rest of the water from the pot into the pot and said to Xiaolan, "You'll ask someone to dispose of this later." ”

Thinking that song Jinjing's people had just said to me, I smiled and sat in the courtyard and watched them arrange them little by little.

It was getting late, and the house was bustling with activity, so I let everyone eat and drink.

I sat quietly in the room, waiting for Zheng Bokao to come home from the banquet.

After a long time, the sky became heavier and heavier, and the moon under the clouds was very bright, and I could hear the movement outside. Zheng Bokao came in from outside, and as soon as he approached, he could smell the wine on his body.

"Qinghong is sick, sitting in the wind so late, why not add more clothes, if you catch a cold again, the illness will be even more difficult to get better."

"Your Highness is back, I cooked you a soup for the awakening, and Your Highness came over and drank the awakening bar."

Zheng Bokao strode over and dragged me toward the house.

Zheng Bokao sat down and asked, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, does Qinghong have anything to do, or do you want?" ”

"I once heard when I was in Da Liang that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the court nobles, officials of the DPRK and China, and every household at dawn would put up sky lanterns to pray for blessings, and I wanted to go and see it."

"Well, I'll go with you in a moment."

Zheng Bokao took me to the front yard, jumped, and carried me to the roof, I exclaimed, and hugged Zheng Bokao tightly.

"Hahaha." He laughed heartily, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”

"Your Highness is really good at kung fu."

"Qinghong also said, I shoot stones and drink feathers, and there is no trace of snow."

One by one, the sky lanterns rose from the courtyards of every household, high, under the skyless night sky, floating around the white moonlight, and looking around, it was the lights of thousands of homes, very bright. And this place under my feet is also the only home of my Dayong.

"Your Highness, do you remember that on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Dayong, we also saw it next to the Tailiu Pool."

"Remember."

"It's been a whole year now."

Behind me, the people in the house also put the sky lantern on, and I wanted to turn around and look, because I didn't sit still, and I almost fell down. Thanks to Zheng Bokao's quick eyes, he stretched out his arms and looked at me in his arms, and there was no danger.

I leaned against his shoulder and heard only his chest beating violently, his undulating heartbeat ringing in my ears, and I looked at the rising skylight and unconsciously hugged him tightly.

We looked up quietly, not disturbing each other, feeling each other again.

"Your Highness, this moonlight is like wine, and I seem to be drunk."

"What, drunk." It won't be a cold. ”

As he spoke, he probed my forehead with his hand.

"It's okay, it's all right."

"It's drunk."

As soon as his hand was withdrawn, I looked up, leaving a kiss on his lips with a little water.

Zheng Bokao blinked slowly, then smiled silently and raised his head.

He suddenly asked, "Yuehua is practicing, drunk and beautiful, and Xiaosheng is bold, wanting to listen to the mother's drunken words?" ”

"Straight talk."

"Well, let's go back."

Zheng Bokao took me back, he walked in front, I followed quietly in the back, bowing my head and stepping on his footprints. The bright moon was hanging above his head, his shadow was short, and I stretched out my hand, engrossed, trying to grab his sleeve on the path.

He didn't know when he had turned around, and I just stared at the shadow, feeling that my hand was really about to fall on his sleeve, but it hit him with a full embrace.

Zheng Bokao gently rubbed my forehead and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Is it okay for me to carry Qinghong back?"

I looked at him blankly, but he had turned around and bent down, "Come up." ”

I lay on his shoulder, and he walked slowly forward, and the moon seemed to be always above us, and the road seemed to never end.

After a long time of marriage, there are often officials and noble ladies in the capital who come to visit and invite me to arrange flowers and tea, and when there is a banquet at the home of a princess, she often sends me posts, inviting me to go, everyone keeps a short distance, in the imperial city, you come and go.

Occasionally, I heard the woman gossip about the diplomatic relations with the Yan state.

It is said that in recent days, the emissaries of the Yan Kingdom have come from the west, and the Carriage Mountain is full of gold cloth, fine wine and beauty, and blood swallows that are stationed and nourished, and that the Yan Kingdom has given exquisite beauties to the emperor, and that the emperor has given countless rewards.

I listened quietly and let them talk.

In fact, the three kingdoms of Da Liang, Dayan, and Dayong border each other, Da Liang is in the south, Dayong is in the north, and Dayan is in the northwest, and there was originally a Zhongshan state sandwiched between these three kingdoms, which was destroyed by Zheng Chongyu in three months. In today's land, Dayong is the largest, followed by Great Liang, and the smallest Dayan.

Great Yan did this, paying tribute every year, thinking that it was also in order not to end up like the Zhongshan Kingdom.

One day I was delivering tea to Zheng Bokao's study, and I heard him talking to one of his young princes about last year's spring hunting, talking and laughing freely.

"Ah, I wanted to ask the imperial brother for a glass of wine, but I heard that the imperial sister-in-law made a good cup of tea, and it seems that today I caught up."

"I've seen the King of Shuping County."

"Why does my sister-in-law call me like this every time, like an imperial brother, call me sixth brother, isn't it close?"

This Shuping County King Zheng Bohao was the sixth son of the former emperor, and he was good friends with Zheng Bokao, and there were often exchanges between the Prince's Mansion and the County's Palace. The two of them played against each other, and I didn't bother to disturb them, so I withdrew.

Many people in the whole imperial city, because I am the princess of Da Liang, always leave half of what I say when I speak, but he treats me very well.

It was the osmanthus season, cutting the candles in the west window, dark incense sleeves, Zheng Bokao held the tea cup and said, "Today the sixth brother also told me, if you were hunting last year, you were also there, he will definitely send the white fox he hunted at that time to you."

"The sixth brother is free and heroic, and he is a very good person."

"Yes, he also asked me if I could take you with me next year's hunt."

"That will disturb your interest, I will not ride a horse."

"No problem, I'll teach you."

"It's not good, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Niangniang, you're on the water."

"Where's the water?"

"It is the residence of king Shuping County."

We hurried out to look, only to see the direction of the County King's Mansion bursting into flames.

"Qinghong, I'll go and see, waiting for me here."

After Zheng Bokao finished his instructions, he took people to the county king's mansion.

Fortunately, it was found in time, and the fire had been extinguished, but Zheng Bohao was attacked by someone who took advantage of the fire and injured his arm.

The emperor rushed to the junwang mansion that night to interrogate the guards who had caught a suspicious person, and under severe torture, he confessed that when the former emperor left, he gave the tiger charm to the king of Shuping County to let him take charge of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and Zheng Bokao asked him to take this opportunity to get the tiger charm, and the person took out the token of the prince's mansion and a handwritten secret letter to testify.

The emperor was silent at that time, saying that he would let Fu Yin try it, and then left.

Listening to Xiao Lan tell the story, I asked, "But really?" ”

"The guards in the palace who followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to extinguish the fire told me, and he stood aside at the time, and he heard it very well."

"What about Your Highness?"

"Still in the county palace."

In the dark night, I couldn't see anything in the direction of the County King's Mansion, and the tea that Zheng Bokao drank when he left on the table was already cold, I stared at the teacup for a long time, picked it up and took a sip, but it was already cold.

.

Xiao Lan looked at me worriedly.

"It's all right, Xiao Lan, unload the ring for me, I'm tired and want to sleep first."

I lay on the bed, my chest beating steadily, looking at the dim candlelight outside the curtain tent, and couldn't sleep.

It wasn't until The Third Change that I heard the movement of fine pieces of undressing in the room, and then Zheng Bokao gently lay down next to me. I held my breath, motionless, and pretended to be asleep. But he concentrated on catching the slightest movement around him.

He had his back to me and I opened my eyes. Look at his back by the faint candlelight.

He only covered the half-corner quilt at random, looked at his thin clothes, looked at it for a long time, the candle flame dimmed again, and finally I raised my hand and closed the quilt for him.

"Did I wake you up?"

His voice fluttered softly, and the exhaustion in his words was evident.

"I'm waiting for Your Highness to come back, and I haven't fallen asleep yet."

He turned slowly, looked at me, and asked, "You know what?" ”

"Does Qinghong believe in me?"

Hearing this sentence, I finally did not hold on, and suddenly buried my head in his chest, grabbed the single clothes on his chest, and choked up, "I am afraid, I am afraid that this is true, but I am more afraid that this is fake." ”

I sobbed, and he carefully brushed my hair and asked.

"That day in the study, I asked you, marry me, do you regret it, you did not answer, now, is there an answer?"

"No," I sobbed, shook my head again, and repeated, "No." ”

His words came from the top of his head, as if the sky had fallen, and it would never be able to crush me.

"Don't be afraid, now that you are married, I will always stand before you."

Later, Fu Yin took the man for interrogation, but who knew that he died in prison. At this time, the clue was broken, and finally Zheng Bohao stood up and said that it was just someone who wanted to separate their brotherly feelings, and three words and some letters could not explain anything, and the matter was so hastily concluded.

The king of Shuping County still came to the palace often, and my dowry had a great healing medicine for the girder, so I sent someone to send it over.

It was only because of the fire that day that this matter somehow spread in the capital, saying that Zheng Bokao had stolen the soldier's charm and intended to rebel, and the king of Shuping County held the military power with him, but he was afraid of offending the crown prince and dared not speak out.

On this day, I was picking osmanthus flowers in the back garden, and I met both of them with serious faces, discussing things as they walked.

"Is the imperial concubine going to cook wine, but is there mine?"

"Naturally there is, and in a few days I will brew a few pots for the sixth brother and send them to the palace."

Looking at the hand he had placed on his side, I asked, "The sixth brother's hand is better." ”

"After using the golden sore medicine that the imperial concubine sent a few days ago, it is already very good."

At night, when I asked about Zheng Bokao, he only said, "Qinghong don't worry, I grew up with my sixth brother since I was a child, my feelings are very strong, he knows me, I also understand him, and I will not be provoked so easily." ”

Today is the ninth day of the first month of September, the Yongguo people are called Chongyang by the name of Chongjiu, and the people of Daliang are called Chongyang, and the two countries are one south and one north, but the customs among them are very different.

In the girder, people often say, "The grass dew is cold, and the mountain wind chrysanthemum wine is fragrant." On this day, people drink chrysanthemum wine to prolong life, put a cocoon in the sachet to ward off evil spirits, before in the palace, the ladies and ladies, as well as the princess and princess have chrysanthemums on their heads, and the father and emperor will ascend to the highest sacrifice.

Folk also hang chrysanthemum branches and leaves on the doors and windows on Chongyang Day, cut the colored paper into the shape of the chrysanthemum flower, ascend to the top, and feast and drink.

In Yongguo, people drink osmanthus wine and eat Chongyang cakes, and the house has been preparing since the beginning of the month. There were also horseback archery, and the emperor led his courtiers to review the army.

On the day of the ninth day, Zheng Bokao got busy, and at four and a half o'clock he got up from bed and went to the palace.

In the evening, there is also a heavy nine-night feast. Zheng Bokao accompanied the emperor to the school grounds to order troops, and when Fang returned, it was already dusk.

When he went out in the morning, he was dressed in white, and when he came back, his lower body was gray, and I grabbed his hand to inquire, only to see that the palm of his hand was also rubbed out of the blood.

"The emperor's sister-in-law should not be worried, today there was a minister's horse that was shocked, and the imperial brother only got this body in order to save him." "Good horse, how can it be shocked?"

I muttered, but I caught a glimpse of King Shuping Junwang next to Zheng Bokao and the sound of the sound, as if there was some tacit secret, and when I saw that their brothers were still as good as before, I didn't have much heart.

Zheng Bokao was bathing and changing clothes in the room, and I also medicated him. Zheng Bohao watched from the sidelines and suddenly said, "Imperial Concubine, tonight's heavy nine banquets, or you still don't go, strange and boring." ”

"Thank you sixth brother for thinking about me, but at the beginning of the month, the empress dowager already had a will, and now I can't find a reason not to go."

Zheng Bokao rode with his sixth brother on horseback, and I sat in the carriage myself. I was originally worried about whether Zheng Bokao was in serious trouble, but I was misunderstood by the sixth brother, who rode on a brown horse and teased.

"Sister-in-law, how do you face my vinegar and eat, you and the imperial brother are like glue, this small road, first borrow the imperial brother for a while."

As soon as I heard it, I only felt that his face was flushed with anger and blood, "I'm not..."

Zheng Bokao stood up and broke the siege for me, "Okay sixth brother, don't be embarrassed for your imperial sister-in-law, let's go." ”

Yongguo has always attached great importance to the Chongyang Festival, with brilliant lights, grand scenes, and extremely luxurious banquets.

The sixth brother sat next to us and kept coming over to talk to us.

Suddenly, he saw a white-bearded minister and said, "I heard that the harem concubine Niangniang is about to come to the pot, and the old minister congratulates His Majesty on the sudden appearance of the white deer today, and it is also a sign of auspiciousness, Your Majesty Hong Fuqitian." ”

"This is a blessing for the people, and it is also a blessing for all."

"Your Majesty is shocked today, And Your Majesty has not blamed him, but he thanked His Majesty for his magnanimity and magnanimity, and the old minister respected His Majesty."

The adult who spoke was Zhao Guogong, the emperor's confidant, it turned out that his horse was shocked, I couldn't help but secretly look at him twice, Zheng Bokao put the dish in the bowl for me, looking at me will smile.

Suddenly, I heard the pianist plucking the strings and changing the stirring melody, only to see a few women in a posture led by a girl dressed in red, holding a sword in her hand, prostrating her head in the main hall and standing up again, twisting her waist, dancing a sword dance, the movement was completed in one go, sometimes jumping lightly, sometimes rounding into a circle, and the goddess of heaven scattered flowers and throwing out many beautiful petals.

It's just that this dance looks strange, not like the Yong Kingdom, not like the Big Beam, not like the Yan Kingdom, but it feels familiar, like where I have seen it.

I saw the woman in red tiptoe up, grasp the red cloth strip that fell from the beam and pillar, and swing it in the air.

I suddenly remembered that when my brother was still in the palace as a child, one year the grand prince of Zhongshan Kingdom came to give him a heavy gift, and at the palace banquet, he also danced such a dance.

It's just that the prince said that this dance was deliberately arranged by the court, and it is difficult for the people to see that the Zhongshan Kingdom has been destroyed, is this the old man of Zhongshan?

It can be heard that Zheng Chongyu personally led the troops to kill the ZhongshanGuo Imperial Palace and slaughtered the entire zhongshanguo palace, how could this be the old people of Zhongshan.

Everyone in the hall was amazed by this dance and was amazed.

Zheng Bokao held my hand under the table, but his eyes looked at the sword in the dancer's hand from time to time, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the sixth brother on the side, and so did he, and the two brothers seemed to have a sharp mind.

"Your Highness, but what's wrong?"

I leaned over to his ear and asked softly.

"Qinghong just needs to hold my hand all the time."

Zheng Bokao still watched the dance in the temple casually.

The violinist's hand deftly picked the strings, and next to them sat a few girls playing the pipa, they kept long fingernails dyed red with hydrangea flowers, and opened their five fingers to play with the strings of the pipa, but the expression on their faces was cold, and those hands, looking at each other twice, were like luocha who were desperate in the night, and their long nails grasped people's heart pulses.

The breeze outside blew up their white clothes, and I couldn't help but shiver. Zheng Bokao felt my uneasiness and held my hand more forcefully.

"Whoops"..."...""Beep-dang", "..."..."

Suddenly, with the sound of several long swords falling to the ground, the dancers fell to the ground one after another, and all of them stared sharply at the man on the dragon chair, spitting out blood in their mouths, laughing miserably, and closing their eyes weakly.

A few ministers who could see the rise could not help but sigh, Zheng Bokao hurriedly reached out to block my eyes, I had a palpitation, grabbed the sleeve robe under Zheng Bokao's desk, felt that the air on the palace was thin, and breathed heavily.

Before everyone could react, they only heard the sound of women screaming everywhere, some people were running, and they tripped over the chair on the ground, there were long swords piercing into the body, some people shouted in pain, and Zheng Bokao had already picked me up and hid behind a big pillar.

Surrounded by masked men dressed in black, Zheng Bokao was holding me while fighting the Assassins with his bare hands.

Suddenly, the scream of a man echoed above the main hall, I don't know who it was, but it was obviously the voice of a man over fifty years old, and he cried miserably, making people's backs chill.

Later, the Yulin Army came to the rescue in time, and the assassins were eventually outnumbered and taken down on the spot by the Yulin Army. The scene was controlled in time, only to see that the previous Zhao Guogong had several swords in his body and fell into a pool of blood.

This unbearable picture made people feel scared when they looked at it, I only felt creepy, Zheng Bokao put me in his arms and comforted, "Don't be afraid, it's all over." ”

That night, I heard that the white deer that had appeared in the suburbs had suddenly died in the palace.

The regent of the kingdom was killed, the white deer died inexplicably, and there was such a rumor in The capital that this was an ominous omen and a warning from heaven, but no one could give an answer.

On that day in Chongyang, everything was vividly remembered, but the assassin seemed to be going to the Zhao Guogong, but he always felt that something was wrong, and when he thought of the eyes of those dancers, his heart was always uneasy.

The emperor's most important and most dependent court doctor was killed by a group of assassins from unknown sources in full view of everyone, and the emperor was furious, and ordered several ministers of the cabinet to jointly investigate the matter thoroughly.

Because of this, many official documents in the cabinet were too late to deal with, so they were piled up on Zheng Bokao's case, and now he didn't even have time to play chess with the sixth brother, not to mention the things of drinking and throwing pots, and the sixth brother came less.

After returning from the Chongyang feast, Zheng Bokao always slept in the study because of his busy official duties, and the winter in Yongguo came early, and recently the north wind began to blow, so I asked people to bring a few futons and a few winter coats to send over.

There was no one in the study, and he was not seen on the bed in the cubicle. Only faintly heard the movement of bathing inside.

I walked inside, through the gray drapery, and I covered my mouth in surprise, breathing heavily, my voice trembling.

Zheng Bokao saw the shadow next to him, and also found me, pulled a single coat next to him and put it on himself.

I slowly moved my steps and walked toward him, my eyes sour, and hot tears swirling in my eyes. Leaning in front of him, with his head bowed, the tears fell into the water, stirring up a small splash.

"Qinghong, what happened, how do you look like this?"

I raised my hand to undo Zheng Bokao's single coat, and between several looming scars, the bruise on my shoulder that was larger than a palm was very conspicuous, and the left arm was hanging as if it were unconscious.

Thinking back to that night, he pulled me to resist the swarming assassins, but there was a cold sweat on my forehead, I thought I was tired during the day, but now I finally understood the reason, and my heart was pounding.

I touched it carefully, looked up and asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness, how did you look like this?" ”

"In the blue sky and white day, you and I are in the house like this, if it is passed out, the women in the capital should talk to you again." He raised his other hand and rubbed my hair and laughed.

"Then let them say it!"

"It seems that Qinghong is really angry, and he doesn't know how to be shy anymore."

I ignored him, helped him get dressed, took his other hand, and helped her out.

"Little girl, your husband hurt his shoulder, not his leg."

I still ignored him and helped him sit down, "Lang Zhongke prescribed medicine?" ”

"On."

"Where?"

I took Zheng Bokao and pointed out to me the snow white gel on his picture. He took a breath in pain, and I hurriedly lightened the movements of my hands and asked him, "Does it still hurt?" ”

I carefully applied the ointment to him, and unconsciously, tears flowed down without hesitation, "What the hell happened, how did you get this look?" ”

"That day, when I was saving Zhao Guogong, I was hit on the shoulder."

He spoke lightly, but my heart was like being pulled by a tree branch, and my heart was extremely painful.

Thinking of so many official documents on the case, he still hurt his shoulder now, but how to deal with it.

"Your Highness, does Your Majesty know about this?"

"You shouldn't know, and few people in the house know."

"So many official documents are pressed, so what should we do?"

"Lang Zhong said that it just looked terrible, after a few days the bruises melted, it was almost fine, it was okay, I could handle it."

"Your Highness, the study is ventilated everywhere, it is not warm at all, you go back to sleep with me, I will not touch you."

"Listen to you."

For the matter of injury, Zheng Bokao said that it was simple and unclear, so I went to his bodyguard He Guang to ask for an understanding.

In the open space in the courtyard, he was practicing his sword, but he saw Xiao Lan standing next to him with a wet step, and when she saw me, she asked for a salute.

I understood her, not long after coming to the Prince's Mansion, I always came to the side room, and when I came, I brought food, wine, meat and cakes, although she didn't say it, I also understood that he liked He Guang.

However, He Guang is cold and indifferent, does not like to be close to women, falls flowers intentionally, and flows mercilessly.

"Ho Shu Wei, you stop, I have something to ask you."

"What does the lady command?"

"Your Highness's shoulder wound, I saw it, he told me, I want to know, what really happened at that time?"

He hesitated, apparently not intending to tell me.

"He Shuwei, he's my husband, I just want to find out what's going on?"

"Your Highness won't let me say, please don't be embarrassed under the mother-in-law." "Please don't embarrass me."

"Don't dare in the next."

Xiao Lan tugged at my sleeve and whispered, "Niangniang, don't you do this." ”

He Shiwei finally said that at that time, he did not know why Zhao Guogong's horse was shocked and ran to the cliff, fortunately, Zheng Bokao saved Zhao Guogong from the horse in time, but his shoulder fell to the stone on the side, and he almost fell off the cliff, fortunately, Zheng Bohao even rushed over and saved him.

He Guang told the story in detail, and I didn't dare to imagine how frightening it was.

When I came back from the study in the evening, I saw that his hand was hanging down, and it must have been very badly injured, so I found cotton and gently applied the medicine.

"When I killed the enemy on the frontier, the knife wounds I suffered were much more serious than this, and although I was spoiled and habitual, I was not delicate, and Qinghong did not have to do so."

I was silent, took good medicine, and blew the lamp and lay down on the bed, and Zheng Bokao was injured and could only lie flat.

"Is Qinghong angry with me?"

I was silent for a long time before I said, "Your Highness, you told me to believe in you, but do you, do you believe in me?" I was so badly injured but I was hiding it from me, and I wouldn't let anyone tell me that if I hadn't bumped into me today, wouldn't you have planned to keep it a secret? ”

"I just..."

"Just don't want me to worry?"

"Your Highness, you know, my brother's whereabouts are still unknown, I can't go back to Da Liang, and now the Prince's Mansion is the only home, and I only have you."

He suddenly became serious and said, "I understand. ”

My face was already full of tears, and I turned to hug Zheng Bokao and feel the temperature on his body.

He told me about the time when he was stationed on the frontier, in the barracks, in the long smoke and sunset, there was only one isolated city in the sky, the yellow sand was full of sky, watching the geese from the south to the north, and the soldiers often drank the spirits of the frontier around the campfire, played the Qiang flute, and sang the folk songs of their hometown to comfort each other.

The barbarians in the north are haunted, always like to sneak attack in the middle of the night, they are not afraid of the cold, and they often come in the middle of the night to steal grain and grass in the cold winter.

In order to prevent sneak attacks, many people had to gather together, drink wine to resist the cold, and stay at night.

"That's the pot of wine you gave me that night Chinese New Year's Eve?"

"Before, I only liked the soft mulberry wine with the entrance, but later in those years on the frontier, I was used to drinking Luofuchun, and as long as I saw the sword and light sword, I often remembered the stories in the mouths of the veterans and the yellow sand of wanli."

This night, it seems that there are not many words to say, three more have passed, we are still awake.
