At this time, my father knocked on the door, and both of us were shocked, so I hid behind the Buddha statue with Zhao Xiunian, which opened the door for my father.
My father came in, he stood, I knelt, Yu Guang glanced at the snacks brought by Zhao Xiunian that had not been hidden, my brain was tight, and my father snorted coldly.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiunian played Xiao Xiwu, my father was a down-to-earth literati, he held his breath, and my father did not find him.
"Wan'er, you have always been steady." My dad stared at me, "What happened to the queen today?"
Naturally, my father did not believe that I had accidentally broken the bracelet of the Queen's Reward.
I replied bluntly, "Daddy, my daughter doesn't want to marry the third prince."
"What are you talking about?!" My father stopped me in a low voice and looked around, "Heavenly Concubine, can you guess around!"
"Even if the Empress Dowager really intends to do so, it is your blessing!" My dad said in a low voice.
"This is not a blessing for the daughter, this is the robbery of the daughter." I was extremely calm, kneeling straight, "The threshold of heaven is so high, my daughter can't climb high."
"You..." My father pointed at me angrily, and then pointed to the pastries on the ground, And Xu Xiangfang's three words were clearly printed, "You have been privately dating people for life?"
"Not really." My father didn't breathe a sigh of relief, and he choked me back again, "But my daughter has someone in her heart."
"Bullshit!" My father was so angry with me that his fingers were shaking, "This is the good daughter I taught, your female virtue has read into the belly of the dog, you are not good at learning what people teach privately!" 」
I knelt there stubbornly and wouldn't let go.
In this life, I will fight for myself to say anything.
My father didn't say anything about me, he was so angry that he wanted to hit me, but he still couldn't get his hands down, and the last slap hit his face.
"Daddy!"
He stopped me, so disappointed that he refused to look at me, "It is the father's negligence to teach you like this."
"You should reflect in the Buddhist hall." He said, "Don't come out if you don't have anything to do."

My dad is gone.
He instructed his subordinates to look after the small Buddha Hall and not allow others to take a step closer.
I knelt where I was, and Zhao Xiunian walked out from behind the Buddha statue.
He got down on one knee in front of me and held me.
I woke up from my trance and heard him say with difficulty, "Wan'er."
I know he has a lot to ask, like who I like, like why I don't want to marry the Third Prince.
I couldn't stop kneeling, my whole body was shaking, almost relying on Zhao Xiunian to support me, I didn't fall to the ground.
"Zhao Xiunian," I earnestly called his full name, "do you like me?"
He looked at me and nodded very slowly, very slowly.
Formal.
"I like you too." I laughed, but the tears fell, "... I like you a lot too."
He held my hand and trembled slightly, and carefully took me into his arms, and the two of us sat on the ground on our knees, and I heard the teenager's heart beating faster, his lips trembling, but he didn't know what to say.
"You don't want to marry the Third Prince, so why don't you marry me?"
「...... When you meet you, I will come to the door to propose to you." He spoke nervously, and his usual magnetic voice was now a little bumpy, "Will you marry me?"
I rested on his shoulder and shed tears of grievance.
"It's too late." When I talked nonsense, the light in the Buddhist hall was dim, and my eyes were hazy, and for a while I couldn't distinguish between this life and the previous life, "I'm going to marry Liu Sheng."
"Zhao Xiunian, I don't want to marry him." I was aggrieved to death, tears falling down, "He is not good for me at all, he is not good for me at all."
"Then marry me," he coaxed me, "I swear I'll be good to you..."
"It's no use," I cried, "you're gone!"
"You went to the northwest, went for more than ten years, didn't hear from you, and never came back!"
"I have lived in the palace for more than ten years," I closed my eyes, "and every day I open my eyes to empty beds, empty tables, empty halls, and I guard this palace, day after day, year after year."
"But then I was finally relieved, because I was dead..."
I trembled and slipped into Zhao Xiunian's arms, "I don't want to marry him, I don't want to enter the palace..."
"Wan'er, Wan'er!" Zhao Xiunian saw that I was frightened and called out to me in a hurry, but I muttered repeatedly, "Please, don't let me enter the palace again..."
"Wan'er," he held me, "no, no, no one can force you into the palace, you, you and me, I will never let you enter the palace..." I collapsed softly, I could not hear his words, and I knelt in the palace for so long in the morning, I was still frozen.
He touched my forehead and it was hot.
"Wan'er, you have a fever." He picked me up and hugged me, "You're probably confused, I'll take you to Langzhong."
I let him carry him out of the small Buddha Hall, I couldn't really hear the screams of the bearded woman, and Zhao Xiunian wrapped me tightly with his cloak.
All I knew was that my dad looked at me with a darker face, as if we had been caught in bed by him.
But as his only child, he still had a straight face and honestly picked up the butler and ran quickly to ask Lang Zhong.
I lay groggy on the bed, and Zhao Xiunian was slipped away by my father.
I dreamed.
In the dream, I returned to Fengyi Palace.
My child came to see me, he came to invite Ann, I wanted to touch him, but hula rushed to a group of palace people who could not see their faces to take him out, I wanted to chase him out, but they were also held down by a group of palace people who could not see their faces, unable to move, watching my children being taken away by them, getting farther and farther away from me, and gradually disappearing.
Quercus!
I screamed in a hurry, but I could only watch him disappear.
I woke up.
Zhao Xiunian sat on the edge of my bed.
He held my hand, and the warm touch reminded me that this was the next life.
My oak child, who died of human pox in his previous life.
He died of the human pox planted for him by his father's willful will.
"Who is Oak?" Zhao Xiunian squeezed my hand tightly and looked concerned.
I shook my head, unwilling to talk to him.
"When you had a fever, you kept calling him." He said, "It's heart-wrenching."
"Wan'er, I don't know what you've been through, but you don't want to say it, and I don't ask," he sighed, "but if you have anything, you should always tell me that I can do it for you, and I will do my best."
He got up and tried to pour me a glass of water, but the movement was a little stiff, I did not let go of his hand, "You were beaten by my father?"
"Kidnapped his precious daughter, and it's worth a beating."
"Rest assured, when you are ready, I will come to the door to propose to you." He looked at me, "I said I would marry you, and I would marry you."
The teenager's eyes burned, so sincere that I could not continue to hide from him.
I believe in him.
"Zhao Xiunian..." I said with difficulty, "Do you believe in past lives and this life?"
His hand reached my forehead, but I grabbed it with my other hand, "Do you believe me?"
He nodded in disbelief.
"I know, what I say next, you may have a hard time accepting, after all, I still can't believe that I am alive again." 」
"But in my previous life, I did die."
"In my previous life, I married Liu Sheng." I looked at the curtain of the bed, as if to say to myself, "You went to the northwest, you were knocked unconscious by your grandfather and taken away, Liu Sheng became the prince, I became the princess, and then he ascended the throne and became the emperor, I became the empress, I didn't like him at all, but then I got pregnant, I had a child named Que'er, he was very contentious and well-behaved." I've been a queen for many years, and I'm so lonely and boring. The only motivation to keep me alive was Oak, and I thought I had to raise him. But then he died, he died in the spring, and then I couldn't live anymore..."
I spoke incoherently, almost without coming up, and I breathed a few breaths, "Then, I opened my eyes again, and I actually went back to fourteen years old."
"Was it that wind chill?" He listened quietly, but suddenly asked.
I nodded.
"No wonder." He stroked my forehead, "I always think you're different from before, but I can't tell you where you're weird."
"Probably you're not so easily amused by me."
I wanted to shed tears in grievance, and I always felt that I really like fourteen-year-old Lin Wan now loved to cry.
He wiped away my tears for me, "Don't cry, your eyes are swollen with crying."
"By the way," I suddenly remembered something, and said urgently, "On the twenty-eighth day of the 28th lunar month this year, the old general Zhuang went to the outskirts of the countryside on a whim, and as a result, he fell off his horse and died!"
Old General Zhuang is one of the oldest generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty, a set of marksmanship can be magical, he has no children and no daughters, how many Big Zhou Erlang wants to worship under him, but he has never picked the disciples who have closed the door, and the others have just learned a fur.
This year he was only fifty-seven or eight, and no one would believe him if he could fall to his death on his horse, after all, the old general Zhuang grew up on horseback, but he was drunk and then encountered wolves, which killed him.
"If you go to the apricot grove in the countryside in the afternoon, you will be able to save old General Zhuang."
I hurriedly hugged Zhao Xiunian, and in the previous life, he had heard that the old general Zhuang had died and regretted it for a while, after all, the Zhao family was good at sword techniques, and if he talked about marksmanship, it was the Zhuang family.
I couldn't push him, "You believe me!"
"Well," he pushed me back on the bed, "I believe you."
"It's just that you should take good care of your illness first." His eyebrows were no longer as relaxed as before, and he had a touch of solemnity, "You and I."
「...... I've never believed in any kind of ghost, but I know that Wan Er will never lie to me."
"I promise you, I'll marry you, I'll protect you, nothing in your dreams will happen, no one can keep you in the palace, and no one can kill your children."
"Wan'er, I will definitely marry you."
The teenager in front of me seemed to have grown up overnight, and his eyes were stained with a few traces of fortitude, and he promised me word by word to protect me.
Protect me.

After Zhao Xiunian went back that day, I was still lying down to recuperate.
My dad wouldn't come to see me either.
He was angry and especially disappointed in me.
He always thought he had a virtuous daughter, like my mother.
But I don't know why I was suddenly so bold, as frivolous as those dusty women, and actually confessed to the sons of others.
I didn't know how to convince my dad for a while, just waiting for an opportunity.
On the twenty-eighth day of the month, Zhao Xiunian did indeed go to the outskirts of Beijing.
On the afternoon of the twenty-eighth day of the 28th month, I heard that Zhao Xiunian happened to pass by and saved the drunken old general Zhuang.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, after the old general Zhuang sobered up, he greatly appreciated Zhao Xiunian and decided to accept him as a disciple of the closed door.
On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the Chinese New Year's Eve.
This night my dad finally agreed to see me, I smiled sarcastically, and my dad kept his face shut.
"Your mother left early." He poured me a small glass of cider, "Before I died, she told me that I must raise you well."
"I said yes."
"So I have refused to continue all these years, because I am afraid that my stepmother will not be good to you." My dad paused, "I'm also afraid I'm not good to you."
"When your mother was alive, she always wanted to teach you to be a bridesmaid."
"So over the years, I have taught you piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, reading, and reading, and taught you to learn the Female Virtue and Women's Classics," he said, "I have always felt that I have raised you well, at least not to live up to your mother's expectations."
"But now it seems like I'm not very good at raising children either."
My dad said he drank it all, and the table was silent for a while.
"Daddy."
"You're a very good daddy."
"I know you want me to be a woman like my mother."
"I used to think it was good, but then I was scared."
"When I entered the palace that day, I saw Concubine Ling." I said to myself, "She is Uncle Zhou's sister, my favorite aunt Ling when I was a child, and when my mother was still alive, Aunt Ling often came to play at home."
"I remember Aunt Ling's face is round, she loves to smile, she has two small dimples on her face, her palms are hot, and she will make many pastries."
"But Lady Ling, sitting on a high palanquin, is very thin now, dressed gorgeously, and nodded at me coldly, without saying a word to me."
"The little palace lady who led the way said that Concubine Ling was in a hurry to see the emperor, so I should not pay attention to it."
"But Daddy, I was scared when I saw Concubine Ling." I don't want to be the next her."
"I have entered the palace many times, and I have seen many ladies and ladies, all of whom are the same gentle and silent, the same gorgeous clothes, full of pearls, like a shadow." 」
"Daddy, I don't want to be them."
"My mother said that she hoped that I would become a bridesmaid for everyone, but my mother also said that she hoped that I would be safe and happy."
「...... I'm sorry Daddy." In this life I may have to live up to your expectations.
I burst into tears, and the hall was silent.
My dad sighed, "Mo is crying."
"You crying nature, you really follow your mother."
He reached over and touched my hair, "You don't want to go into the palace, Daddy won't force you."
"These days Daddy has figured it out." He sighed, "My daughter-in-law's peace and joy are more important than anything else."
"Daddy." I lowered my head, but leaned over my dad's shoulder.
My dad touched my hair with his other hand, and without saying a word, I put my arm around my dad' arm.
I secretly wiped away my tears, "Daddy, let's eat."
"Okay."
The two of us ate and talked, talked about homely words, and talked about interesting things about my childhood, and the house was extremely warm for a while.
Late into the night, fireworks were set off outside the window.
I froze, but I smiled again, "Daddy, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
Happy New Year.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, my father took me back to the Zhao family.
Her grandmother is still very strong, she also followed her grandfather to the battlefield when she was young, and now although she is older, she is still heroic.
My grandfather was stationed in the northwest, and the red envelope sent back was really thick, with more than a dozen pages of long talk... Just ignore it.
My aunt was gentle and pulled me to ask East and West, and since the death of her uncle, she was determined to keep the festival and devote herself to worshiping the Buddha and... Stewed soup, I drank three bowls of goji berry chicken soup from my aunt before being released.
Then I saw Zhao Xiunian again when I was wandering around the back garden of the Zhao family.
The young man stood tall and jade, standing between the snow colors, and I only had four words in my mind.
"Wan'er." He called me forward to take off his big hat for me, "I'm not cold," I stopped him, "my aunt took the duck down cape for me, and I was very warm."
"Hands are cold." Naturally, he warmed my hands and said, "Go in and say."
The two of us entered the small pavilion in the back garden, and if it was cold today, the pavilion was surrounded by thick curtains and lit with charcoal fires, which were also warm.
"Old General Zhuang said he wanted to take me as an apprentice." He looked at me, "When I met him, he was really fighting the wolves."
"I really didn't lie to you." I lowered my head, quite a bit of a gamble, no one wants to open their scars over and over again to show others, he doesn't believe me.
"I didn't disbelieve you," he paused, "I just think, in my previous life... You must be having a hard time."
"Why didn't I come back in the Northwest for more than a decade?" He looked sad, "You shout so hard in your sleep... How can I give you up?"
"It's not that you're willing, it's that you can't come back." While roasting the fire, I said as calmly as possible, "After the Lin family took sides with Liu Sheng, he ascended the throne and became emperor, liquidating many families... My grandfather detained you in the northwest to save you."
"Liu Sheng has always suspected that I have a private affection for you, so I have always avoided suspicion of you, and I dare not communicate with each other, let alone see each other."
"I didn't blame you." I bowed my head, "But I also had a dream that I wanted you to take me away, even if you took me to the northwest to suffer from frost and sand with you, I would be happy."
"But we can't be so selfish, there are two families standing behind us, the Zhao family and the Lin family, the Zhao family of thirty-four and the Lin family of one hundred and twenty-one."
I lowered my head, but I was grabbed from behind, and I crashed into a warm embrace, and he whispered in my ear, "In this life, here I am, you are in front of the Zhao family and the Lin family."
I cried silently, and he wrapped his arms around me and gently wiped my tears for me, and I blamed him fiercely, "You made me cry again."
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Wan'er, Don't cry." He didn't argue and coaxed me over and over again with great patience.
After a long time.
I stopped the tears and asked, "Do you still want to know what happened in your last life?"
"In my previous life, have I ever made a big mistake because I trusted someone or something?"
"Not really."
"In my previous life, have I ever missed anyone or anything?"
「...... It's just me."
"In this way, I have only lost you in my previous life."
"I'm the one who lost you."
"Then you can't afford to lose me in this life."
「...... Definitely."
He kissed him, and I didn't hide.
It was our first kiss.
Green but sweet.
In his mouth was the taste of the best bamboo leaf tea, very sweet.
I didn't kiss and neither did he.
Not in this life, not in the previous life.
But fortunately, he is very gentle, and it is not too bad to experience the city and plunder the land little by little.
Long.
"What else do you want to ask?"
"Gone."
"Gone?"
"Forget the past, because it won't happen in this lifetime."

This year's Lantern Festival, the empress dowager still invited me to the palace.
I thought that the empress should have abandoned me, and when I received the post, I was still a little surprised, and I thought about it, but I was afraid that it was Liu Sheng's meaning.
As it happens, I think that when I enter the palace, I will meet the deceased.
If I remember correctly, this year's Lantern Festival, Liu Sheng should have taken the daughter of the Sun family as a concubine.
Sun Fuxiang, the concubine of the previous life, and later the concubine of Virtue.
How much does she love Liu Sheng?
Liu Sheng was assassinated, and she desperately blocked a knife for him, and she could not have children from then on.
But Liu Sheng gave her something, guarding the empty room alone at night.
She could not give birth to children, and in Liu Sheng's eyes, she lost her qualification to serve as a bedchamber.
But fortunately, she took back her heart in time, put on Shushun's dignified shell, and achieved the first of the four concubines all the way.
Later, when I died, I entrusted Princess Shun's daughter to her again.
So in this life, I still want to help her.
I found her in the corner of the Lantern Feast.
"Sister Sun." I smiled sincerely.
At this time, she was still a cold and strong Sun family girl, and she was still wary of me, and she didn't care, "Is there something wrong with Miss Lin?"
"As soon as I saw my sister, I felt that I was in love, and the veil in my sister's hand looked like a good Su embroidery."
"It's just a little thing I embroidered and played with," she said, interested, unfolding her veil and showing me, "here is the embroidery of lamei."
I did what Princess De taught me later, and returned it to her without any hesitation, and I heard Sun Fuxiang praise it one after another, saying that my embroidery method was good.
The two of us chatted vigorously, and we didn't even care about the little palace girl who came to pull us.
In the previous life, Sun Fuxiang had obviously been branded in last year's draft, but today, she was tricked by Liu Sheng into going to the small forest behind the royal garden, and the little palace girl came to invite Sun Fuxiang, which was to invite Jun into the urn, but it was just to give Liu Sheng a chance to save the United States as a hero.
Liu Sheng wanted to use the strength of the Sun family.
But naïve as Sun Fuxiang, he really fell in love with Liu Sheng at first sight.
The two of us talked about the banquet, Sun Fuxiang did not get up, she is the young daughter of the family, today Mrs. Sun is sick and did not come, only Mrs. Sun Er took her to the banquet, which gave Liu Sheng the opportunity to take advantage.
I think that Mrs. Sun will not be cured of illness in a day, and she will be able to protect this simple girl who loves embroidery wholeheartedly.
The two of us cling to each other, the words are not at the palace gate, she only feels that she and I see each other as they were, she has a "wan sister", I have a "grand sister", and I have made an appointment to see each other later.
As for Liu Sheng, let's blow the wind behind the Royal Garden.
11
Before the first month, my father was busy socializing with each family, and I couldn't go out behind closed doors, except for Jingjing and Sister Sun, other people's posts were not accepted.
On this day, Liu Sheng came to visit my father, and it happened that my father went to zhang mansion for a banquet, the status of the three princes was noble, and it was not like waiting in the entrance hall, and there was no serious lady sitting in the family, so I had to come out to entertain guests.
I secretly asked Zhao Xiunian to come, and I remembered that he was fine today.
Grind yourself and rub yourself to the front hall to entertain guests.
"The courtesan has seen the Three Princes."
"Let everyone else go down first, I have something to say to Wan'er's sister."
I waved my hand and told the butler to go down first, and he didn't dare to do anything to me.
"Lin Wan," he said, holding up his teacup, "I dreamed last night that we had a child named Que Er."
How he deserves to mention Oak.
I glared at him with hatred, but suddenly he raised his head and happened to be in sight with me.
"The Three Princes Respect Themselves!" I preemptively attacked, "The courtesan and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are innocent, where are the children!"
"The three princes are not informal, please consider for the courtiers, the Lin family is extremely strict, and the three princes want to force the courtiers to die?!"
"I'm confused," he said, smiling, "just a dream."
"Nature can't be true." He laughed hypocritically and I just felt sick.
"What dream makes the Three Princes so obsessed?" Zhao Xiunian's voice came from outside the door, "The minister has read some miscellaneous books on dream interpretation, and I don't know if he will have the honor of interpreting dreams for the Third Prince?"
He walked in and held me behind him.
"Wan Er is timid, and the Third Prince should not scare her."
"Naturally I don't scare Lotus Treasure." Liu Sheng smiled defiantly, "I came to visit the teacher, what did Zhao Gongzi do?"
"The minister came to see the fiancée of the minister."
"How did I not know that Lian Bao was the fiancée of Prince Zhao?"
"Your Highness," I explained "kindly," "the courtesan and the brother are married, and they were promised to the brother long before the courtesan was born, but the father felt that the courtesan and the daughter were weak and did not know whether they could successfully fulfill the marriage contract, so it was not made public."
"It's just that Brother Nian is indeed the fiancé of a courtesan."
I quietly held Zhao Xiunian's hand, and the two of us clasped their fingers together, without shying away.
"You just said that the Lin family's style is extremely strict, why, when you get here with Zhao Xiunian, this is not strict?"
"Unmarried couples, who are not alone in the same room, what is there to avoid?" Zhao Xiunian did not back down in the slightest.
The two of us brushed together to look at Liu Sheng, who was extremely obstructive in the room, and almost did not give him a crooked nose, and the room was silent for a while, only the sound of Liu Sheng drinking tea.
Until my father returned, the two of us still held hands generously, and my father glanced at me, and I reluctantly withdrew my hand.
Liu Sheng was called away by my father, and Zhao Xiunian sent me back.
I looked at Zhao Xiunian, and my eyes were full of worry, "He has also returned, and Liu Sheng of the previous life has also returned, what should we do..."
"Don't be afraid," he said, holding my hand, "with me."
I fixed my mind, a little less panicked, and afraid that he would think more, "Lotus treasure is my breast name, he didn't know it in his previous life, but then I was about to die of illness, and my nursing mother came into the palace to see me, which made him know..."
"In his previous life, he never called me, he was always a queen... He also took in a folk woman he liked very much, Na as a lotus concubine."
I pouted, it was a matter of indifference, but I was disgusted by Liu Sheng, and my heart was somewhat unhappy.
"Okay, what did you just call me?" He teased me with a smile.
I knew that he must also be unhappy in his heart, but just to coax me, his face would not be revealed, and I deliberately coaxed him, and shouted delicately, "Nian brother."
After shouting, he first disgusted myself, and I looked disgusted, but he was happy and laughed loudly in my little yard. I was so ashamed that I reached out and punched him, but he was practicing martial arts, and a body of tendon flesh made my hand hurt, and he rubbed my hand for me in turn.
At the end he put his arms around me and whispered in my ear, "Don't be afraid of anything, what if he comes back, you just have to remember, you still have me."
Yeah, I still have him.
12
Out of the first month, Zhao Xiunian was busy. Old General Zhuang took him as an apprentice, took him to practice fiercely every day, and from dawn to evening, he refused to spare him for a moment, and he practiced no less than a thousand times just by turning around and carrying a gun and getting on the horse.
I was busy with another thing.
After An Jingjing died in the previous life, I have been checking the cause of her death.
The people in the hospital are all first-class national hands, and if they are ordinary diseases, they cannot be cured without them.
Even if it is not cured, it is impossible not to find out.
I flipped through the ancient books, and quietly went to the folk to inquire, and finally in the fourth year after Shunfei's death, there was a folk lang who said that Shunfei's illness he might have seen.
This is not a disease from the north, this is a disease from the south.
People in the southern Fujian area like to eat raw fish and snails, snails with parasitic eggs in the middle, if they are eaten, the eggs enter the human body, they develop into adult worms, parasitizing in the human body.
Na Langzhong said that he had traveled south and north for more than ten years, and had only seen it in the southern Fujian area, and this disease would not kill people in a short period of time, but it would make people's limbs more and more emaciated, and their stomachs would be bigger than a day.
I calculated that Jingjing should not be sick yet.
When Jingjing was eleven years old, her father and several other officials somehow collided with the emperor and were demoted to minnan, until later the new emperor ascended the throne, pardoned the world, and revived her father.
When I was fourteen years old, I had not seen her for four or five years, only correspondence, presumably because of the illness she had contracted in southern Fujian in the past few years.
I informed Zhao Xiunian of this matter, and I wanted to discuss with him how to stop this matter and save Jingjing's life.
Who knew that Zhao Xiunian this person was really hun, directly to Jingjing her father, Lord Yushi'an gave a solid laxative, Anda took seven days of sick leave and failed to go to the dynasty, and when Lord An recovered from illness and returned to the dynasty, several other officials had already gone to Minnan to suffer, and Lord An touched his nose and did not dare to say anything more.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiunian still had some conscience, and he went to find some famous Langzhong in southern Fujian, and informed them of the relationship between this strange disease in southern Fujian and raw fish, shrimp, snails and crabs, and also provided them with new ideas for preventing and controlling this disease.
I wanted to beat him up and avenge the drugging for Lord An, but this man received my letter and went to the door to beat him up, and I couldn't get my hands on it.
The reason is none other than him.
Zhao Xiunian had been trained too hard by Old General Zhuang, and there was no place on his body that I could do.
Instead, I was so distraught by his accusations that I took advantage of him again.
13
Unconsciously, it was actually time for the Spring Festival Feast.
Great Zhou folk customs, wish the spring gods to plant well, pray that this year the wind and rain will be smooth, the crops will grow smoothly, the autumn harvest will be good, and the winter will be better.
I received another invitation from the Empress Dowager.
I really have a headache, this must still be Liu Sheng's meaning.
How could I not know that In my previous life, Liu Sheng had such a deep affection for me.
On the family lineage, on the help, the concubine of the previous life, Li Shujun, is now chasing and beating him hard, if he is willing to marry Li Shujun as a wife, it is also a great help to the throne.
Could it be that he values my ability to reason? I couldn't figure it out, but I had to go into the palace.
After all, I have rejected the post of the queen mother twice.
I entered the palace, and the little palace maid took me into the royal garden, and my heart was clear.
Liu Sheng still wants to play a hero to save the United States.
I did not hesitate to get on the stone bridge and quietly waited for Liu Sheng to appear.
After all, he doesn't know water.
"Sister Wan'er," Liu Sheng walked over with a gentle and elegant shell, and I had to endure the nausea and deal with him, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince."
"The night view is so good, Wan'er's sister also came out to admire the moon?"
"The courtesan was led the wrong way by the little palace girl." I cursed, "Didn't you tell me to come over?", but I had to pretend to be gentle.
"The moon is so bright tonight." He tapped the palm of his hand with a fan, "It reminds me of my second girl, Jing Shu."
"She was also born on such a good day."
I just couldn't understand what he was saying, "The Three Princes are demonized, you haven't even married the Three Princesses, where are the children?"
"Well, it's a pity." He sighed, "I'm so good to Jingshu, but she blames me for not marrying her to Yuanlang."
"She was depressed later, she didn't see how many things I sent, and finally died of depression, exactly the same disease as my wife." 」
"Liu Sheng—" I was very angry, staring at him, but I still accidentally exposed the truth that I was also reborn.
"Lin Wan, you're back." He sneered, "I knew you were back from the moment you stopped me from Nasun Fuxiang."
I gritted my teeth and stared at him, but I suddenly changed into a pitiful look and shouted, "Please also ask Your Highness the Third Prince to respect himself!"
Then he jumped into the lake in grief.
The spring lake was still a little cool, and I snorted, holding my breath, and letting my body sink.
Liu Sheng stood on the bridge, gritting his teeth but helpless.
He doesn't know water.
In his previous life, he had kept everyone secret from knowing.
Only later did he become emperor, and once Jin Cai invited favors in the soup pond and almost drowned the emperor.
After returning from that trip to the hot spring palace, Jin Cairen hanged himself in the cold palace, and all the waiters were beaten to death with sticks, which I also calculated.
Liu Sheng stood on the bridge, behind him were the emperor who was interested in admiring the moon and a group of family princes.
I had already seen Zhao Xiunian, and only then did I dare to gamble with my life.
Sure enough, my teenager flew in, desperate.
The light under the lake was dim, I couldn't see his face clearly, I just felt that the teenager came against the light, I struggled and fell in the darkness, he was the god who came to redeem me.
Back on the shore, I was already tightly wrapped in Zhao Xiunian's coat.
The emperor valued the three princes, and deliberately made big things small and small things small, "This is whose girl fell into the water, and she is not quick to go down and change her clothes."
"Emperor!" I knelt down and prostrated my head, bound to make a big fuss about this matter, "Lin Wan, the courtesan daughter, accused the third prince of flirting with the courtesan daughter, and did not speak inferiorly——"
"Lin Wan?" The Emperor narrowed his eyes, "But Lin Zhiyuan's daughter?"
"It's the courtesan."
"Since lin zhiyuan's daughter, presumably virtue can follow her father, your father is upright and noble, and he believes in you once, and you tell me, how did the third prince flirt with you?"
"Emperor, the three princes knew that the courtiers and daughters had already had a marriage contract, and they also spoke out many times to the courtiers, and today the three princes led the courtiers to the imperial garden, and they were full of nonsense, saying that the courtiers and the three princes had children, and the courtiers were really afraid, and only asked the three princes to respect themselves, who knew that they had angered the three princes, and the courtiers were helpless, and they could only die!" 」
"The emperor, the subject and the Lin girl refer to the marriage contract for the abdomen, but it is only because the Lin girl is weak, and she has not yet participated in the draft, and has not been made public." Zhao Xiunian knelt beside me and took a step forward without a trace, protecting me behind him.
The emperor was silent, and he intended to make the third prince the crown prince.
Flirting with the courtiers is small, and the gibberish is strange and powerful.
I'm still gambling, betting on Liu Sheng's arrogance.
In the previous life, he had been the emperor for so long, and the imperial garden was naturally his manpower, but in this life, he was just a third prince.
This royal garden is so big, how can it not hide other people?
The emperor was silent for a while, "It's cold on a spring night, the Lin family girl will first go to change her clothes, and she will naturally give you an explanation."
Zhao Xiunian protected me, did not hide his friendship, and the two of us went to change into wet clothes.
When we came out again, the palace people greeted us in a disciplined manner and went to the main hall of the Spring Festival Feast.
The two of us entered the main hall with a calm look on our faces.
Liu Sheng knelt there, bowing his head and not speaking.
The two of us consciously went forward and knelt down, but I heard the emperor ask my father, "What does Lin Aiqing think about this?"
My dad came up and gave me a slap, "Evil obstacle!"
"Emperor, they are all micro-ministers who teach women to have no way." My father knelt in front of me and blocked me, "I died early, Wei Chen was busy with official duties, and the emperor entrusted the teaching of the Three Princes to Wei Chen, and now it seems that Yu Gong and The Minister failed to teach the Three Princes well, and in private, the subjects taught the women without a party."
"Emperor," my father took off his crown, "the subject asked himself for his trust in the emperor, and the minister was unable to take on this great responsibility, so the minister asked him to resign and return to his hometown."
The Spring Feast was really unpleasant, and the Empress still wanted to persuade the Emperor, but was stopped by the Emperor's eyes.
"The Third Prince has been overworked and has a high fever in recent days, so he is really confused." The Emperor began, "If that's the case, go back to your house and recuperate."
"Look, years ago it couldn't get better."
"Today, the Lin family girl fell into the water, the Zhao family boy was not only rescued, but also a good story, since you two have a marriage contract, you will give marriage for the two of you."
"Ask someone to make an auspicious day, and you should also add makeup to the two of you."
"Lin Aiqing," the emperor came down and personally helped my father, "you have been in the army for twenty years, and all these years of your hard work have been seen in your eyes, and you are busy with the affairs of the court and the teaching of the crown prince, which is really too hard."
"Even so, let me make you the Zhongshu Ling, or ask you to cultivate your self-cultivation and accompany you for a few more years."
Zhongshu Ling is a fictitious position.
But it was exactly what my dad wanted.
Because of this, the Lin family and the three princes were officially untied.
14
On the carriage back, my father and I had just sat down, and Zhao Xiunian squeezed up.
"Does it hurt?" My dad asked me, and I shook my head, knowing he was there to protect me.
"Daddy, why are you..." I looked at him, I really don't understand, why my father wants to resign now, I can't say that he really just wants to give me a breath.
"It's me." Zhao Xiunian clumsily but gently applied the ointment to me and said, "I told my father-in-law."
"Lin Zhao and his family want to support other princes to ascend to the throne, and I can't hide it from my father-in-law." He whispered an explanation, and I kept my head down and stared at him.
"Those three princes, are they all true?" My dad half-closed his eyes and glanced at me silently.
I bowed my head and obediently obeyed the discipline.
"If Zhao Xiunian hadn't jumped down to save you today, you would have drowned or failed?!"
"What, you live again, tell Zhao Xiunian that it is okay, tell you that your father is not successful?!"
"I'm afraid Daddy won't believe me..." I whispered.
"What is your idea of daring to sue the Third Prince in front of the Emperor today?" Isn't it a gamble that he has a big heart? Bet that he is the emperor's state of mind, the status of the emperor, but Lin Wan, you are not a queen now, you, a fourteen-year-old stinking little girl, outside, at home, your role is not as good as your father's finger."
My father was so angry that he poked me with his finger, I knew that I didn't dare to hide, and Zhao Xiunian protected my forehead for me, "Father-in-law, don't be angry, maybe it's because you were too confused in your previous life that Wan'er didn't believe you..."
"Then you say, how confused was your father in your previous life?"
"In the previous life, the Emperor gave me a holy decree to enter the Eastern Palace as a crown princess... I don't want to go, Daddy, you knelt down and begged me," I bowed my head, "please consider for more than a hundred people in the Lin family..."
I shook Zhao Xiunian's hand, "... You said I wouldn't get up if I didn't promise you, you said I didn't promise to be sorry for the patriarchs, sorry for my mother, sorry for your nurturing grace."
"So... I said yes." I sipped my lips, "Actually, later you regretted it, after Liu Sheng ascended the throne, he was ungrateful, he suppressed you everywhere, and then I became pregnant... In order to save me and my children, you took the initiative to resign and return to your hometown."
「...... And then I never saw you again."
The carriage was extremely quiet for a while, Zhao Xiunian jumped down the carriage with interest, frightening me into a cold sweat, seeing him waving at me, I was relieved, I don't want to be married today and widowed tomorrow.
My dad closed his eyes and didn't speak, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
"What you say is true?"
I nodded and made no sound.
"Then in my previous life, I was really not a good father." He laughed and wept and shook his head, "I'm so sorry for you and your mother."
"No wonder you don't want to talk to me."
He burst into tears and told me to panic, "Daddy, I don't blame you..."
I fell on his lap and he touched the top of my hair, "In my life, I will strive to be a good father."
"At the very least, I have to fight for my daughter-in-law."
"Daddy." I fell on his knees and whispered, "... Daddy is the best."
……
15
When the water lilies in the pool will not bloom, I will be ready.
I asked Jingjing's mother, Aunt Ann, to add a hairpin for me, she and my mother are close friends, her eldest daughter Zhen Zhen played with me very well when she was young, but unfortunately, I lost my mother, she lost her daughter, she treated me as her own daughter, and she treated me as her own daughter, and she was better to me than Jingjing.
"Aunt." I called to her, "Come in and sit down."
"Wan Er is also a big girl." She naturally straightened the hairpin on my head for me, "My aunt came here today, but she brought you good things."
"What's the good stuff?" I deliberately amused her, "Drunken Fairy Lou all drunk lees duck? Rose cake in Hibiscus Court? Or the candied cherries that Mother Mi made herself?"
"You," she nodded at me angrily and amusedly, "how can you still be like a child?!"
She opened the ebony box in her hand, and inside was a whole set of dotted green noodles.
"This is the gift that I have prepared since you were born, but it is too old, it is inevitable that it will be a little old, and I have found someone to wash it again."
I obsessed with her, "Wan'er likes it."
She brought them for me one by one, and at first I wore such solemn jewelry a little heavy, but fortunately, in my previous life, I brought more and quickly adapted.
"I'm not going to be a kid anymore." She carefully drew her eyebrows for me, "In the future, when I marry a woman, I must know how to be polite and obedient, it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law, and I should not fall into the handle."
"Auntie," I laughed happily, "my mother-in-law is my aunt."
"Look, just hold me and say bad things about me," my aunt walked in, "what, I'm afraid I'm not good for Wan'er?"
The aunt made a gesture to beat her, "I can tell you, not only do you look at Wan'er as a daughter, but Wan'er is also my daughter."
"Fortunately, I married into your family, and if you are not good to Wan Er in the future, I may go to the door to make trouble."
"Just come and see if I'm okay with my daughter."
"That's not easy to say, mother-in-law, I'm afraid it's a good mouth."
I just smiled shyly and watched the two elders fight each other, but my aunt asked, "Wan'er, are you good to your aunt?"
"My aunt was naturally very good to me, but the two mothers fought a war of words, and the daughter helped each one to make the other mother chill."
"You've got a bowl of water." My aunt smiled and tried to twist my cheeks, but because of the freshly coated fat powder, she had to bend her fingers and tap my forehead.
After a while, Wen Zhi came in and invited us out, saying that the guests had arrived, Wen Xing jumped after her, but asked her to train several times, Wen Xing was in tears but did not dare to cry, I said: "Well, Wen Xing is only a few years old, Wen Zhi, you don't have to be too harsh on her, tell her to be lively, I am happy to see it."
After Wen Zhi's death in the previous life, Wen Xing grew up almost overnight, and soon succeeded Wen Zhi as the great palace girl beside me, greeting and sending, checking accounts, managing the warehouse, managing the palace people, and did not let me worry about it for half a minute.
Wen Zhi muttered helplessly, and I smiled as I watched Wen Xing jump and run away.
After all the ceremonies, I am an adult.
My dad gave me a fine jade seal with my name engraved on it.
"With this seal, you can mobilize all the shops, silver and manpower of the Lin family."
I blinked and tried to refuse, but I heard my dad say, "Take it... Daddy can protect you."
I listened and obediently put it away.
Zhao Xiunian sent a golden butterfly, and the lifelike butterfly wings will also fan, looking as if there are really butterflies staying for the beauty.
"Do you like it or not?"
I nodded, "Where did you get this strange thing?"
"Naturally, I painted it myself, found the craftsmen of the best jewelry shop in Beijing, and did it three times before I succeeded."
On the back of the golden pillar, a small euphemism is engraved.
This word, really... It's ugly, not like the craftsmanship of a craftsman.
I took his hand, his fingers slender, his palm warm and dry, and in the palm of his left hand, there was a blister in the palm of his left hand—he deliberately curled his left hand today, and he didn't open it.
My fingers swirled around the blisters, but I refused to touch them, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." He turned his wrist to show me, "Just burn it, Ming'er will be fine."
"It's not good to leave a scar," I took out a bottle of scar medicine and smeared it on the palm of his hand, but still put the bottle away by yourself, "you yourself are not used to it, you must be wiping it for a day, and in the future, every day in the Lin Mansion, I will medicate you."
The two of us are married by the emperor, but there is no need to deliberately avoid suspicion, naturally I am not afraid of other people's gossip.
"Okay." The corners of the teenager's eyebrows were spoiled, "Dr. Kobayashi can have a snack on me."
"Yuck." I spit on him, "Dr. Kobayashi's medical skills are one by one."
The teenager's eyes burned, and my voice lowered, "... It's also a top-to-one heart for you."
16
The second month after I met, Zhao Xiunian came to say goodbye to me.
He's going to the Northwest.
I thought that he had been a vanguard general in his previous life, although there was no great achievement, it was always safe and secure, and then instructed him, "When you get to the northwest, don't be greedy and adventurous, everything is safe, it's cold in the northwest, you add more clothes, I made a few gloves for you, you remember to bring, don't freeze your hands, and the northwest is dry, you drink more water, sleep early at night, light more candles, don't hurt your eyes..."
He listened patiently to me like an old mother.
"Also, when you go to the northwest, you are not allowed to provoke other girls." I added fiercely, "Neither can a woman."
Zhao Xiunian listened amusedly, and forced himself to smile and assured me that there would be no other women within ten meters of him.
"Also, when you get to the Northwest, remember to write to me." I lowered my head and said sullenly.
"My little ancestor, Wan Wan'er, why are you crying again," he put his arms around me, and I listened to the voice of the teenager ringing from the top of my head, "At most two years, I will definitely come back and marry you."
He's going to the Northwest to earn a future and come back and marry me.
He said that when he came back, he would have the capital to protect me.
He said, when he comes back, let me wear a phoenix crown, ten miles of red makeup, and the scenery and scenery to marry.
He said that at that time, I would not be Miss Lin Jia, nor would I be Miss Zhao Jiabiao, but Zhao Xiunian's wife, General Zhao's wife, and the only hostess of General Zhao's mansion.
I said yes.
I'm waiting for you.
When you come back, I will be crowned with phoenix, and the scenery will be beautiful and married.
The sound of the horse's hooves gradually drifted away, and I watched Zhao Xiunian's figure gradually disappear.
It's not willing, but it's worth it.
As early as the day I was there, he explained to me the direction of the various factions in the DPRK and the current pros and cons.
The Lin and Zhao families were planning to give up supporting the three princes, and it was necessary to make good friends with other princes, otherwise the first thing Liu Sheng did when he ascended the throne as emperor was to liquidate the Zhao lin and Lin families.
It's just that we bet too late in this team, the other older princes already have the support of the powerful matriarch and family behind them, and the Zhao Lin and Lin families are now in the game, but they are afraid that they can't even share the meat foam, and it is even very likely that they will use them to win over Liu Sheng.
The sixth and seventh princes are still too young, and they are still nursing in the arms of their nursing mothers.
There are only five princes.
The fifteenth prince of fourteen years old.
The mother of the five princes is not low, his birth mother Jia Guifei was born in the Heyang Wang clan, a thousand-year-old family, But Jia Guifei Xian died for many years, the current relationship between the Wang family and the Heavenly Family is not good, the wang family lord Wang Renfu is stubborn and pedantic, and he is not accustomed to the current emperor - of course, people have this capital, so they are not concerned about the five princes, the five princes are not valued by the emperor, they cannot be supported by the mother, and they are young, so they are not outstanding.
But Zhao Xiunian said that the fifth prince had great talent.
It's just that at the moment, Taoguang is obscure and doesn't dare to stand out.
The fifth prince had the support of my father and Zhao Xiunian and wanted to emerge in the court, but my father told him to wait.
When Zhao Xiunian took the northwest military power, the five princes had enough capital to shine.
I have seen the fifth prince Liu Zhe.
He was much more knowledgeable than Liu Sheng, and knowing that I was Zhao Xiunian's fiancée, he wouldn't even look at it. He has a noble atmosphere between his hands and feet, and he is not humble and unobtrusive between conversations, making people feel like a spring breeze, not sleek, but he can always take care of the left and right, and refuse to snub a person.
Very good.
I remember that in his previous life, he was the only brother who was crowned prince by Liu Sheng.
I'm afraid it's not a simple character.
18
Liu Sheng was re-appreciated by the emperor in the spring of the following year.
Because Liu Sheng sacrificed human pox.
Big Sunday sores are prevalent, every spring day, there are always children who die, too hospital to develop prescriptions for many years, but there is no big progress.
Now Liu Sheng sacrificed human pox, but it solved the emperor's heart problem.
I went to inquire about Liu Sheng's human pox.
In the previous life, in order to promote human pox, he insisted on experimenting on the only child of the two of us, and as a result, Oak Er failed to resist the past and died here, and human pox has always been a shadow in my heart.
But Wen Zhi came back to tell about the human pox, which was different from the previous life's Oak vaccinated.
According to Liu Sheng's propaganda, human pox has been improved several times, and now only the scabs of the cured person need to be ground into powder and blown into the nose of the child, and the pox can be successfully received.
All those who receive acne survive.
In the autumn of this year, the third prince, Liu Sheng, made meritorious contributions to the people and was made crown prince.
After Liu Sheng was made crown prince, I received a letter from Zhao Xiunian from the northwest.
He said, Wan Wan Er is not afraid.
I settled down suddenly.
I always thought that I could change a lot of things in my life, but Liu Sheng was still made a prince, and that night I dreamed of my previous life, and the various concubines in the palace took my hand and begged me to save them.
That dream overwhelmed me.
I woke up for a long time, until the nursing mother came in and I didn't ease up.
It's okay, it's okay.
Someone has been protecting me all my life.
Zhao Xiunian went to the northwest for more than a year, climbing all the way from lieutenant of the Eight Pins to the vanguard general of the Zheng Wu Pins.
He had obtained the trick of the old general Zhuang Zhenchuan, and the enemy army only knew that he was the only grandson of General Huwei, and he did not know that he could also use the Zhao family sword method in addition to the Zhuang family's marksmanship.
The set they used to deal with General Hu Wei in the past didn't work.
Zhao Xiunian did not talk about martial arts.
The battlefield has always been the best place to hone force and wisdom, and General Zhao Xiao was known to everyone in the northwest for a while.
I really wondered how he could climb so fast in this life, after all, in the previous life, he had only achieved the vanguard general.
Soon he wrote back to me, and the letter said, Wan Wan'er, mixing up a life is not the same as earning a future.
Earn a future.
My teenager was very serious about earning his future and marrying me.
Step by step, he fulfilled his promise.
19
In the second year of Liu Sheng's appointment as crown prince, the emperor married him and The Queen of Hubu Shilang.
Wang Ci was the girl who came out on top at the Plum Feast of Princess Shunning.
In this year, Zhao Xiunian became famous for cutting off the head of the Fourth Tribe Khan of Northern Di.
He was only eighteen years old.
The emperor said that he had the style of Huo de-ill in the Han Dynasty, and made an exception to award him the title of General of Zhengxi.
He came back to marry me as promised.
The wedding date is set for the seventh day of the first month of September.
I set the wedding date, and my father also kept me in the house to embroider the wedding dress.
In fact, my wedding dress was embroidered as early as a year ago, and Sister Sun always came to play with me, and even I knew Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun is keen and intelligent, and I only vaguely mentioned a few words about a little palace girl we met that year, and she knew that Sister Sun was afraid that people would be targeted.
Therefore, Sister Sun quickly betrothed her to Zhang Yuanhui, the third son of Zhang Of Qingmei Bamboo Horse, and Lady Sun no longer allowed her to enter the palace.
Now she came to help me embroider some small things, and I quipped to her, "Is my sister's wedding dress embroidered?"
"Nature is embroidered." She lowered her head, revealing a red ear root, and ignored me.
"Sister, have you seen your brother-in-law recently?"
Engaged couples still have to avoid suspicion, like me and Zhao Xiunian, they have to be laughed at behind their backs.
But who cares.
Naturally, avoid suspicion, stupid. Sister Sun didn't want to pay attention to me, turned around to embroider the purse, but the red halo on her ears could not be eliminated.
"Sister, I heard that Zhang Jiasanlang's literary talent is outstanding, and he has already passed the examination at a young age."
"Isn't my sister going to marry Tanhualang?"
The redness on her face was like a good rouge, and today Zhang Jiasanlang came to visit my father, and although my grandmother came to help me embroider my purse, her heart was not here.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhang Jiasanlang was afraid that he would finish talking to my father, and Sister Sun could not sit still. I smiled and pushed her out of my boudoir and stuffed her with a purse she had just embroidered.
It took her a while to come back with a red face, and for a while she was still smiling at herself.
"My sister is so happy to see my brother-in-law?" I narrowly said, "I don't know if my brother-in-law is happy to accept my sister's purse?"
"Oh," she replied, "Oh, how did I give him that purse, I didn't even embroider the lace."
"Sister Mo Qian, in the future, I will have a lot of time to embroider when I become a parent."
She was angry and shy, came up and pinched my face, I couldn't hide, I went to tickle her again, and the two of us played for a while, and then I lay breathlessly side by side on the bed.
When we were closest in the previous life, we were just four hands folded together, and where did we dare to lie side by side like a boudoir.
How nice.
In this life, we can marry someone we like.
20
On August 15, Zhao Xiunian rushed back from the northwest.
After seeing his grandmother and aunt, he swung over the wall into the Lin Mansion – of course, the guards of the Lin Mansion were not so lax, but my father turned a blind eye.
"Wan'er." He sat reclining against the wall and called out to me, and I couldn't see his face clearly at night, but I knew it was him just by looking at his immodest appearance.
「...... Coming back." I held my breath for half a day before I choked up and said a word, "How come I came back so quickly, and the journey from Beijing to the frontier is less than half a month..."
He jumped down and walked toward me, and I was wrapped in a warm, broad embrace.
He must have been bathed, and he still had the aroma of soap horns on his body.
"You are in a hurry, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the wedding date." I whispered, but my head was still buried in people's arms, there was no half momentum, and there was a little bit of childishness.
"I want to see you." He said sullenly, "I miss you."
「...... Me too." I wrapped my arms around the man's waist, and I realized that he had grown a lot in just two years, "You... Did you get hurt?"
"Rest assured," his laughter was muffled, coming from the top of his head, "I am careful, if I have a scar, I am afraid that the bride will dislike it."
「...... Then naturally I want a very good-looking groom." I blushed shyly, hid in his arms and whispered, the three words of the bridegroom are really too shameful.
"Wan Wan'er wants a good-looking groom official?" He still teased me, "Do you want to be pure?"
"Well," he said to himself, "if I don't come back in vain for half a month, and Wan Wan'er can't see it, then General Ben will have to go and rob his relatives."
"When this bride comes into my arms, I will not let go."
He clasped my waist, and the two of us hugged each other like this. The autumn night was somewhat cold, but I didn't feel cold, I just felt that there was a small tree sprouting in my heart, which tickled the walls of my heart extremely.
21
I have not seen Zhao Xiunian since August 15, and my father unceremoniously ordered his subordinates to chase and intercept General Zhao Xiao who tried to climb over the wall, in short, setting up an iron wall and a net of heaven and earth to prevent the two of us from meeting again.
Zhao Xiunian is not a sticky master, but the partial birth of these days one after another to send letters, the letter wrote the whole process of our wedding room decoration, even with what kind of hi futon is written in great detail, he is arrogant, all things must be bought the best, undecided to write a letter to ask me what I like, afraid that I do not know which is good-looking, but also specially sent two to let me choose; the aunt is not at ease with the people below to do things, all things must be carefully checked; grandmother is even more uneasy about the next person to do things, He called everyone over and admonished them.
In short, before my young grandmother of the Zhao family had passed the door, the people at the bottom already knew how high my status was in the hearts of several of their masters.
On the Lin side, the Lin family was in full swing to prepare my dowry, not only my mother's dowry my father let me take it all, but most of the Lin family's shops were also included in my name.
My father said, let me hold it, the girl with the support of the mother's family is tough.
Mrs. Ann, my good aunt, tucked in a dowry again, for fear that others would not know that she regarded me as her own daughter.
Mrs. Sun is a volunteer Mrs. Quanfu, her children are complete, her in-laws and parents are there, and the husband and wife love for ten years as a day, which is really a blessed woman.
It is no wonder that Sister Sun yearns for true love.
The first ten days of September, good days.
The weather was exceptionally sunny on this day.
Five more up, I still have a little sleepiness, always feel that together is really unreal.
Mrs. Sun combed my hair, and my nursing mother put on my makeup for me, and I was obedient and clever, and I was at the mercy of several aunts. Jingjing and Sister Sun whispered congratulatory words in my ear, and the girls I had befriended in the past came to add makeup to me.
I had no brothers, and my father wrote early to call his disciples back and send me to marry in the name of my brother.
The auspicious hour was approaching, and when the firecrackers came from the front yard, it was he who came to pick me up.
Wen Zhi put a big red cover on my head, and the crowd gathered around me and stood up, and everywhere I looked was big red, and I came back to my senses, and the tears fell down.
I'm going to marry him.
I was actually able to marry him.
My fingers slipped into the palm of my hand, and the feeling of pain woke me up, it wasn't a dream.
The aunts only came to persuade my father when I was reluctant to do so, but until Zhao Xiunian entered the Qinglan Garden, I was still in the bar to shed tears.
He knows what's on my mind.
I'm still afraid.
Afraid that it was not Zhao Xiunian but Liu Sheng who walked in.
"Wanwan'er," his hands held my hands, and the warm touch gave me the strength to reassure, "it's me."
"I've come to marry you." His thumb moved slightly, rubbing my own finger marks for me, and he whispered in my ear, "Not a dream."
This is not a dream.
The events of the previous life are over.
I nodded, crying so hard I could say a word, but I could only shake his hand and tell him what I meant.
His palms were warm and his palms were large enough to wrap around my hand.
We held hands, he held me who couldn't see the road, and I handed myself to him with confidence, and we were going to the front yard to say goodbye to my father.
This is not in accordance with the rules, but no one disputes it.
Because none of the people standing behind me want me to be well.
22
My father sat on the main seat, barely maintaining his former majesty, but the corners of his red eyes still betrayed him, and I could not see his expression, so I could only go up and hold his hand.
My father patted the back of my hand, tried to tell me several times, but he could not speak, I remembered that he had told me in his previous life that my wife was a virtuous woman, and he had not yet opened his mouth, but he heard my father say: "If I am wronged in the future... And Daddy to support you."
I cried and nodded, solemnly kowtowed to my father, and was carried by my brother to the flower palanquin.
Joy played again, Zhao Xiunian rode a high-headed horse in front, the palanquin was lifted up, and walked precariously towards the Zhao family.
After walking two streets, we arrived at Zhao's house.
The imaginary kicking door did not happen, but a bone-sharp hand reached in. I picked it up and let him lead me out.
Cross the brazier, worship the heavens and the earth, and send them into the cave.
The surrounding erlang coaxed, clearly familiar, but they all shouted to see the bride, Zhao Xiunian was one enemy ten, and all of them were thrown out, and the erlang outside the door was not at ease, patting the door and coaxing to pour Zhao Xiunian wine.
"Wait until I get back, soon." He squeezed my hand and walked out.
He didn't make me wait too long.
When it was first dark, he pinched a little back and lifted his head.
As soon as I entered the marriage room, the groom official, who was originally paralyzed on the other side, suddenly stood up like no one else, causing people around him to shout "cunning", and he ignored it and carefully lifted my hijab.
The young man's eyes contained starlight, and inside reflected my face, he stood in a daze, my face was really burning, first lowered my head, removed my gaze.
The people around him giggled and pushed him, saying that he looked at the bride silly, and then he came back to his senses and raised a big smile, like a silly boy who had just opened his heart.
His hands shook more than I did when he drank the wine.
After eating raw dumplings, everyone began to make a cave room, I don't know which family's son Lang had such a bad idea, he hoisted a grape with a thread, and told me to eat it separately, I was still a little overwhelmed, Zhao Xiunian had already taken a bite of the grape, and came to me again.
I didn't take a few sips of juice, but I almost choked on it.
The people around me were loudly coaxing, I was really ashamed to see people this time, I was eager to cover my head back, Zhao Xiunian began to pick people up with a thick face, and even WenZhi did not stay.
There were finally only two of us left in the happy room, and I began to look at our wedding room.
Everything was arranged according to my preferences, all that came into my eyes was a bright red joy, the big red dragon and phoenix candles with thick arms had not been extinguished, and there were a lot of dried fruits such as peanuts and cinnamon on the bed, and I turned my head to look around, but I refused to look at the teenager who was coming towards me step by step.
His eyes were burning, and I couldn't ignore him.
"Wan'er." He came up to me and stopped, I just felt my face burning badly, but I didn't know what to say, the teenager's face enlarged in front of me, I just felt that my head was wooden, until the wet touch on my lips made me realize what was happening.
"You're a very beautiful person today." He was spewing hot air in my ear, I just felt that the root of my ear was about to burn up, I wanted to hide but he fell on the bed, the teenager's long arm was extended, I was locked between him and the bed, the tip of my nose was against each other, the ambiguous atmosphere spread, my heartbeat almost stopped, such an ambiguous moment, I was suddenly hit by the peanuts under me, "Pain."
I accused him with my eyes, he quickly reached out and pulled me up, Wenzhi was called in to remove my makeup, and Zhao Xiunian carefully cleaned the dried fruit on the bed.
When I removed the heavy crown of wind and took off the complicated and exquisite dress, I could relax a little, I leaned on the chair, Wenzhi intimately rubbed my shoulders for me, and I didn't know when there was a change of people behind me.
"I'm sorry, Wanwan'er," he confessed while rubbing for me, "the first time I became a parent, I had no experience."
His hand pressed and pressed down more and more, to the waist, I was lifted up by him, the two of us held each other face to face, I exclaimed, scared to wrap my arms around his neck, his lips overbearingly pasted up, but swallowed the second half of my sentence of fright.
Then I was half coaxed and half deceived and brought to the bed, this time the bed was cleaned up, and I was imprisoned by him between him and the bed.
The tip of our noses touched each other, and his kiss went all the way down from his forehead, soft and serious. His lips roamed over me, bowing down inch by inch, like my most devout believer.
The bed was soft, the room was hot, his movements were gentle, it really made me relax and squint my eyes, half asleep and half awake, his fingertips brushed, my clothes opened up like lotus petals, and at the end, the water lilies bloomed.
Later.
Later, in the middle of the light and half darkness, someone coaxed me to undo his belt for him.
Then he sheathed his sword and attacked the city and plundered the ground, leaving no piece of armor behind.
The big red candle burned, a pair of people on the bed turned upside down, the best pulling bed was also shaken straight, the people on the bed cried and begged for forgiveness, but they were coaxed by the sentences of "baby" and "heart and liver" to continue, the birds and finches outside the house flew up, and the moon hid in the clouds in shame, only when nothing was heard.
23
On the second day, I had to get up early, I had to pretend to be calm, Ren Wenzhi combed a woman's bun for me, changed into a new red dress, and went to the front yard to ask for peace in a while.
In fact, my legs were shaking.
The culprit obediently followed behind me, touched his nose and did not dare to urge me, I said that he got up and he did not dare to lie down, I asked him to change his clothes he did not dare not listen, since returning from the northwest he tanned a lot, the original face of the jade-like teenager a little more heroic... However, it is still very good to wear red.
I was helped by Wen Zhi to the front yard, behind me a group of bearded women and Zhao Xiunian, who did not dare to urge me to hurry.
I met my grandmother first, and when she saw me, the two of them happily closed their mouths, and fiercely stuffed a large amount of silver tickets into the red seal for me--her old man came from a poor background, and in her opinion, there was nothing more than giving money to express her love for me.
I received the red seal, and she told me to go to see my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law was already waiting for the two of us in the main room, and when she saw what I looked like, she immediately glared at Zhao Xiunian fiercely, accepted my tea, and told me to sit down.
She took out a pair of gold-inlaid jade heads, which was her most precious dowry.
In the previous life, she used this to add makeup to me, but in this life, this face still came into my hands.
I took it, the tip of my nose sour, "Mother..."
"What are you crying," she gently wiped away my tears, "I have no daughter under my knees, but I have always regarded you as a daughter, and now that you are married to my son, you have really become my daughter." I was going to leave this face to my daughter, and it should be yours."
"Thank you ma'am." I sniffled.
"Mo cried." My mother-in-law took me up, "I've stewed the soup, so go back and get some sleep when you're done drinking."
My mother-in-law served me soup, and I stood up to pick it up, and then my mother-in-law pressed me to the seat and told me to drink it while it was hot.
Zhao Xiunian did not have a share, he was not annoyed, he did not know how many times he had been rejected by the three women in the family when he got up early, and now he was cold by his mother-in-law and did not dare to make a sound, only obediently eating.
After breakfast, my mother-in-law went to recite the sutra by herself, and I was taken back to our small courtyard to catch up on sleep, and Zhao Xiunian still obediently went to the old general Zhuang's mansion to seek advice.
It was already afternoon when I woke up again.
There was one more person on the bed.
This man did not have the habit of taking a nap, but took a soldier's book and sat on the bed to read it, and for fear of waking me up, he carefully turned the page.
"Why don't you go to the study, the light here is not good." I had just woken up, I was weak, and I was in no hurry to get up, just lying down and asking him.
"There's no beautiful lady in the study." He raised an eyebrow, "Where is the comfort next to the warm nephrite jade?"
"It is clear that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, so it can be seen that General Zhao Xiao did not look into it." I snorted softly, closed my eyes again, it was really sleepy, but this person was very annoying, and he came over to talk again, and the hot air sprayed on my face, "Lady Mo Vinegar, for the husband to see the art of war, if there is a beauty in the book, I am afraid that it is also Zhang Yide's physique."
He took off his coat and lay down with me again, his left hand on my waist, and before he could do anything, I stopped him, "... It still hurts."
"Rest assured," he put his arm around me, "I just want to lie with you for a while."
The man's arms were so warm that I couldn't help but arch into his arms, and unconsciously fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already dark, and as soon as I opened my eyes, the room was pitch black.
"Awake?" He still put his arms around me and lay on the bed.
"Well, what time is it?"
"It's not time."
"How did I sleep for so long?" I wanted to sit up, but I couldn't move the man's arms, "Ben said he would eat with his wife at night."
"I went to the main courtyard and said, let my mother eat first, there is no need to wait for us."
「...... My mother also scolded me and said that I was not light or heavy."
I rolled my eyes at him in disgust, "Since you are awake, you first go to dinner with your mother-in-law, why are you still lying down, there is no courtesy at all."
"The mother has not risen, and the husband does not dare to move." He said shamefully, "Autumn is getting colder, and the cold is so cold that the mother goes straight to the arms of her husband, and I am distressed that our Wanwan'er is weak, so she does not dare to move, and makes bedding for Wanwan'er, how can Wanwan'er wake up, and she still hates that there is no courtesy for her husband."
He touched his chin, "Even if these things are of no use except freezing us wan'er, it is not for the husband."
I was so ashamed that I wanted to punch him, but the man was still in his arms, but he had no momentum at all, so he had to bury his head in his chest and refuse to come out, "Zhao Xiunian!"
"Look at how iron our hearts are," he continued to tease me, "there is really something to miss my brother, nothing to do Zhao Xiunian."
There were clearly only the two of me in the room, but I was too ashamed to want to cover his mouth, how did I not know that he was so poor in his previous life, just between the bed, it was really impossible to stretch, the two of us were originally hugging each other, I reached out to cover his mouth, he did not hide, but how to look like a fight between husband and wife, half of the anger can not be seen.
I was ashamed and angry, so I simply got up and didn't want to pay attention to him, who knew that as soon as his long arm was extended, he brought me back, and then wrapped the quilt tightly around me, "It's cold at night, go get clothes for your husband."
He was only wearing a jacket, barefoot to get me a coat, this day is not yet the time to open the dragon, but Zhao Xiunian always likes to walk barefoot in the room, I think I should always ask Wen zhi to take out a carpet to spread it.
I was wandering, but I saw him come back from the closet with his clothes, and his cool fingers scraped the tip of my nose, "What does the lady think?"
I looked at his bare feet, and he lowered his head in frustration and hurried to step on his shoes, while I slowly put on my coat myself, half frozen.
The two of us got dressed and went to the main courtyard.
When my mother-in-law saw me coming together, she smiled happily and busied herself with soup, and during the period, all kinds of dishes did not need to be elaborated, they were prepared by my mother-in-law.
After dinner, the two of us gossiped with my mother-in-law until late at night, and it was time to go back, and my mother-in-law slipped Zhao Xiunian aside, and I couldn't hear something in my ear, I couldn't hear it clearly, I could probably guess it, and I could only pretend not to know with a red face.
She leaned against the gate of the main hall, watched the two of us walk back, and kept telling me to slow down.
Tonight it was a good moon, Zhao Xiunian held my hand, and the two of us paced back slowly.
"Wan Wan'er," he squeezed my hand, but his mood was a little low, "if you have time in the future, we will spend more time with my mother."
"I can see that she is really happy today."
My uncle died early, and he didn't take a sip of the bride tea I respected, he liked me very much when he was alive, and if he knew that I had married into the Zhao family, I didn't know how happy I should be.
Since her uncle left, her aunt did not want to remarry, but only guarded the Zhao family, guarded the host, honored her parents, raised her young son, was strong and self-reliant, and was virtuous and dignified.
I squeezed his hand, and without too many words, I understood each other's intentions.
"I thought," I said with a light smile, "we can have a few more children in the future."
"At the very least, you have to give birth to two girls."
"Mother is the most hungry daughter," I shook the hand I held, "if you have two granddaughters, I'm afraid I don't know which one is better."
"When the time comes, a granddaughter on the side," I said, "all pestering their mothers, this one wants to eat snacks, that one wants to pick flowers, so that the mother can't be busy, if she hugs this, that one doesn't depend, if you hug that, this is not dependent..."
I spoke very softly, and suddenly he was wrapped tightly in his arms, and he was silent, and the throat knot rolled a few times, "Wanwan'er, thank you."
I put my arms around his waist, and my heart was in his heart.
24
After the seven-day wedding leave passed, Zhao Xiunian had to get up early every day, and the emperor handed over to him the southeast camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and he ran between the Zhao mansion and the camp every day, so it was not hard.
The atmosphere in the court these days is also very tense.
The emperor is getting older, the crown prince Liu Sheng's position is becoming more and more stable with the experience of the previous life, at this time the fifth prince Liu Zhe is gradually showing his head, the emperor is panicked that the prince is powerful, and suppresses Liu Sheng everywhere, and the fifth prince is now emerging, just into the eyes of the emperor. The emperor began to support the five princes to oppose Liu Sheng, and even handed over the southeast camp to Zhao Xiunian.
And my father, after a year or two of leisurely life, was appointed by the emperor, this time it was Tobe Shoshu.
My father's hair was a lot whiter, because Hubu Zuo Shilang was the prince's father-in-law and the father of the future crown princess Wang Ci.
However, due to the death of Wang Ci's mother, the two have not yet completed their marriage.
Liu Sheng was not in a hurry now, and while he was deeply affectionate with the crown princess Wang, and from time to time he went to the Wang family to send a warmth, while at the same time wooing the courtiers, he won a good reputation for meritocracy in the court.
I thought about it, the emperor died in the spring of the following year, but there is still more than a year to go.
As long as Liu Sheng stabilizes the overall situation and maintains his own advantages, he will certainly be able to ascend the throne smoothly.
There is not much time left for us.
I remember that in the previous life, the emperor died of a stroke. The reason for his stroke was because the second prince had an affair with the palace concubine.
The second prince was born of a concubine, the mother of the concubine was weak, the second prince was born with mediocre qualifications, but the concubine was deeply liked by the emperor, and the second princess was the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, with the support of the Duke of Zhenguo, who had 300,000 soldiers in his hand, and the second prince was expected to ascend to the throne.
I reckoned over and over again in the house.
The eldest prince was hopeless because of his disability, the fourth prince died prematurely, the sixth and seventh princes were too young, and now only the second prince, the prince, and the fifth prince still have the qualifications to compete for the highest.
Liu Sheng was born again, and he knew everything in his past life, and he naturally coped with it with ease.
But...... What if things exceeded his expectations.
He has been an emperor, naturally arrogant, how can he be squeezed and suppressed without waves, he is just waiting, waiting for the second prince and the palace concubine to have an adulterous affair in July next year, the emperor has a stroke, the second prince is imprisoned, he sits on the fishing profits, and is honored as a great treasure.
However, what if the emperor is still alive in the spring of the following year, or even better?
If the emperor is healthy, he will live for another ten or twenty years without a problem... Can Liu Sheng still bear it?
I was spinning around the room, the corners of my mouth up, my eyes cold.
Can he bear it?
scold.
25
Over the years, the emperor's body became more and more decayed, and Liu Sheng finally couldn't hold back and began to secretly move in the palace.
The power of the Zhao family was far beyond my imagination, or rather, Zhao Xiunian's ability was far from being as mediocre as I thought.
On the seventh day of march, Zhao Xiunian came back and told me that Liu Sheng was preparing to report the second prince.
The next day, I handed over the post to the Zhenguo Gongfu and went to accompany the Zhenguo Duchess to enjoy the cherry blossoms for a day.
March 15, The Great Morning Meeting.
The emperor said a few words of condolence, and then discussed this year's spring, just when the heat was in full swing, a small eunuch ran into the Fengtian Temple in a panic, saying that the two princes had an affair with The Talented People and were broken by Chi Jieyu, and the empress dowager felt that the matter was important and asked the emperor to make a decision.
Tai Hospital too first came to check, Yu Cairen has been pregnant for nearly three months.
You must know that Yu Cairen's self-entry into the palace is just a grace, like such a nameless and nameless little talent is full of harems, and now that he is pregnant, he has really touched the emperor's reverse scales.
The emperor was furious, and The second prince xuan met with Yu Cairen at the Fengtian Temple.
When Yu Cairen entered the palace, he cried and cried, disturbing the emperor with headaches, and the crown prince Liu Sheng accused her of not keeping the woman's way and causing trouble in the palace, who knew that Yu Cairen claimed to be Chinese New Year's Eve feast and was threatened by people, so she became pregnant and lived today, but only to seek justice for herself.
The emperor was furious, and Yu Cairen took out a purse, saying that he had dragged it from the thief's body and asked the emperor to make it clear.
Although this purse is ordinary, it is indeed a pattern that can only be used by the prince, and this stitching method can only be used by the birth mother of the third prince.
Liu Sheng's face changed dramatically.
Yu Cairen added fuel to the fire, "The concubine still remembers that the man has a red mole on his left shoulder, the size of a sesame seed, and the concubine will never admit it!" The words ended with the talent touching the pillar and dying, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.
The second prince knelt straight, and in order to prove his innocence, he asked the doctor to examine himself.
The head of the Tai Hospital personally took the pulse, the second prince... There is no fertility.
The courtiers in the court talked a lot, and the second prince tore open the clothes on his left shoulder, and there was nothing on his smooth arm.
Liu Sheng gritted his teeth, how dare he undo his clothes.
He did have a red mole on his body, right on his left shoulder.
The emperor was furious and ordered the crown prince to be detained.
On this day, Zhao Xiunian came back very late.
Although things proceeded as we calculated, every step was truly thrilling.
He was afraid for a day, afraid that one step would not be calculated, and he would lose everything. He was so tired that he closed his eyes and lay on my shoulder, refusing to move.
I didn't push him away and quietly settled down by him for a moment.
The second prince's qualifications are mediocre, he is promiscuous and lustful, and he has no intention of taking the throne, not to mention that the Zhenguo Gongfu has decided to untie the second prince, and the second prince's concubine may soon be separated from the second prince, and the second prince is no longer afraid.
Now there is only one Liu Sheng left.
Today's events were not enough to shake Liu Sheng's foundation.
No matter how jealous the emperor was, he could not depose his favorite heir for a palace concubine.
What's more, yu Cairen has no substantial evidence in this matter except for a small purse and a red mole, and if he wants to completely kill a prince who is "serious about love and righteousness" and "virtuous and talented", it is far from enough.
My original intention was to provoke Liu Sheng.
I was thinking about it, and I touched Zhao Xiunian's spine in my hand for a moment, but he didn't follow me, and reached out and took me to his lap and hugged me very tightly.
I know his reluctance and anger.
Over the years, Liu Sheng's heart for me is not dead, several times the design I have avoided danger, and now I live in simplicity, easily refuse to go out, but the big thing has not been accomplished, and I can't bear to swallow.
Zhao Xiu was angry with Liu Sheng, and even more angry with himself.
He was angry that he had not been able to protect me in his previous life, and he was angry that he himself did not have enough ability and enough grasp to protect me in this life.
I knew what he was thinking and reached out and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Brother." I called out to him, "... When all the dust settles, you can take me to Jiangnan to see the peach blossoms."
"Okay." He whispered yes.
"Brother Nian, you're so nice." I coaxed the awkward man, "You're really good to me."
"I'm sorry." He sighed, "I'm still..."
"You're fine."
"Brother."
"I heard that when you decapitated the leader of the Beidi tribe, you almost died." I tried to be as calm as possible, "The military doctor said that if you go one inch deeper, you will undoubtedly die."
"I'm angry," I held his face, "I'm angry that you lied to me, I'm angry that you don't want to die, I'm even more angry that your wounds haven't healed and you've been running all the way back to Beijing."
"We were still half a month away from our wedding," I stared at him, "do you want me to be widowed?"
"I'm sorry Wan'er..." I reached out and covered his mouth, "but I know that my teenager is really desperate to protect me."
My tears fell.
I looked at him, staring intently.
I kissed him.
It was the first time I had been so proactive.
Then he was anti-guest-oriented, gentle and domineering, attacking the city and plundering the land, kissing me almost out of breath.
I wanted to push him away, but the man was still sitting in his arms, and he could only be slaughtered and could not move.
It took a while for him to let go of me, and the smile in his eyes came back, but he still pestered me not to let go, I reached out to push him, and he couldn't push, he touched my forehead, "I'm sorry, I swear, I will never hide anything from my gentle son again."
"Not for example." With tears in my eyes, I stared at him, "If there is a next time, you will go to sleep in the study!"
"Don't dare, don't dare." He begged for forgiveness, but his hands did not relax, still holding me tightly.
"Loosen up," I said helplessly, and he couldn't breathe, "I don't run."
"Hold on a little longer." He sighed, "Tomorrow I'll have to go."
"Huh?" I looked at him with my eyes wide open, and I was reluctant between my eyebrows, and somehow I became more and more attached to him, and I really didn't want him to go.
"Over there in Shanxi, an iron ore mine was indeed found, and it looks like Liu Sheng's people." He reached out to wipe away my tears, "I'll have to go and see for myself."
In the third year of Liu Sheng's ascension to the throne and became emperor, Shanxi reported a huge iron ore mine, which was the largest since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, providing Liu Sheng with abundant raw materials for recruiting troops to buy horses and train weapons, and in the autumn of the following year, the Sichuan-Tibet region was recovered.
Liu Sheng thus sat firmly on the throne.
Now that he was reborn, he naturally would not let go of such a large piece of fat.
After all, the night is long and dreamy, and it is only when you eat it in your mouth that you can rest assured.
I just don't know, now he can eat a prince.
The stakes are high, and the steps are difficult.
Although I was wronged, I also had to separate from Zhao Xiunian.
"How long have you been going?"
"More than a month." He reassured me, "I'll be back in a month and a half at the most."
"That's forty-five days." I snapped my fingers, "Twelve hours a day, every hour without you."
"I promise that within forty-five days, I will come back."
"Tomorrow when I ride my horse to the Southeast Camp, I will break my leg and rest at home for two months." He whispered in my ear, "These days you are at home with your mother and grandmother, and when I come back, I will take you to Jiangnan to see the peach blossoms."
Both of us knew that the wind and rain were coming, but not only did we not intend to hide, but we even had to break through the dark clouds to see the sun.
I took his hand, "I just want you to be careful, you don't have to worry about it at home, everything has me."
It was too windy outside and we huddled together for warmth.
26
The next morning, Zhao Xiunian pretended to go to the southeast camp to train soldiers as usual, while I sat absent-mindedly on the embroidery pier to embroider flowers.
Sure enough, just before noon, Zhao Xiunian was carried back, saying that in the morning Zhao Xiunian's horse suddenly went crazy, General Zhao Xiao fell off the horse for a moment without noticing, and was trampled on the left leg by the frightened horse.
While I instructed the next person to serve tea and snacks not to neglect the guests, at the same time, I was anxious about Zhao Xiunian's injury, he was also really risky, if he really broke his leg by a horse, how could it be good.
I was worried about his injury, but I didn't have to deliberately perform, just frowned, and the hospitality was a little colder than usual, but it was a good job of managing the image of a newlywed wife who was worried about her husband.
It was so easy to send everyone away, so I went into the room to see Zhao Xiunian.
"Are you hurting?" I asked eagerly, but the man was still laughing heartlessly.
"I'm fine, but I've rolled around in the mud a few times," he smiled and took my hand, "Ben Lei's foot is heavy, and it didn't hurt me for half a minute."
"You've taken the plunge, too." I took a bite out of him, "If you really step on something, I'll see if you still have regret pills to take."
"I have a number, Wanwan." He reached out and stroked my eyebrows, "Don't always frown..."
"What number do you have?" I glared at him angrily, "If you are really trampled by a horse and do something, where will you go to take regret medicine?"
I don't want to cry, the separation is imminent, I also want him to go with peace of mind, but I can't stop the tears, crying straight hiccups, he can't go at the moment, can only coax me at once, but I cry more and more, and finally vomit.
I vomited several times in a row, I thought it was too sad, but thinking about Zhao Xiunian standing in front of me peacefully, how could I cry like this.
"Wan'er, you... Is Aoi Water coming?" Zhao Xiunian asked cautiously, but I was shocked.
A few days ago, I was worried about the second prince, but now I have forgotten about it.
Oak.
Thirty-seven years of Huaihua Oak.
My hands trembled, and Zhao Xiunian summoned someone to invite Lang Zhong.
The medic, who had not yet gone far, was called back again, and I was still in a trance until I was finished.
The medic said I was two months pregnant.
Is he back?
Is my oak back?
I touched my stomach and couldn't stop crying.
Oak Er, the mother must protect you in this life.
Mother gave you a father.
Give you a different identity.
You've got a family that your parents love.
In this life, you don't have to bury your head in hard reading, and no one is forcing you to grow up as soon as possible.
You can also go horseback riding like other teenagers, to write poetry, to learn what you like, to tease blushing girls.
I suddenly became stronger because I was going to be a mother.
Zhao Xiunian held my hand solemnly, and the worry between his brows was self-evident.
"Rest assured, I will take care of my family and wait for you to come back."
「...... Take care of yourself. I'm sorry, I..." He paused, "I shouldn't have let you get pregnant at this time."
「...... Don't you want this child?"
"I don't mean that." He looked at me, "It's just me, I'm just scared."
"I'm leaving soon, but you're pregnant at this time, so what if I can't come back?"
What he was afraid of I knew.
He was afraid I would be the next.
His mother had been tripped by him all her life, and he didn't want me to stumble for him.
"Zhao Xiunian, you have listened well." My mother is not for you to stay in the Zhao family, she is for your father," I said seriously, "I will not stay because of a child, let alone leave because I do not have a child, I have always been for you as a person."
"You don't have to worry about what I'll do if you can't come back, you're dead, I'm not going to live." I'm not kidding.
"Without you, what's the difference between you and the previous life?"
"I swear, I'll come back alive." He hugged me tightly and assured me, "I will never leave you alone."
"I thought, the child's name is Li'er." He knew my thoughts, "Daimyo, my name is Zhao Zhilin."
Zhao Zhilin.
Zhao, Zhi, Lin.
27
Zhao Xiunian was no longer willing to give up, and he still had to leave when it was dark.
Shanxi Road is far away, less than half a month trip, go early and return early.
I smiled as I watched him jump on the wall, turn around and quietly wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes.
How can I cry like this when I'm pregnant?
I have never seen me like this in my previous life.
Probably really spoiled by Zhao Xiunian.
It hurts even more to think about me.
Day by day, zhao xiu on this side had no news, but Liu Sheng was released by the emperor over there, only to hear that Liu Sheng was reprimanded by the emperor fiercely, he knelt in the Qianqing Palace and wept bitterly, and the father and son finally rebuilt themselves, a pair of touching heavenly fathers and sons.
Today is a good day for my granddaughter to get married.
Sun Fuxiang was just a dispensable person in Liu Sheng's previous life, so Liu Sheng didn't bother to design her, but I was relieved.
She put on a big red wedding dress, and her eyebrows were full of happiness and shyness.
Zhang Jiasanlang was happy to explore Hualang in the spring of this year, and he was very happy in the exam, and quickly set a wedding date.
Zhang Jiazi took a fancy to Sister Sun, and we were also happy, only joking around the bride, but telling her to be annoyed and wanted to twist our cheeks. Only when she came to me was worried about my stomach, she let me go, and only nodded my forehead lightly, "They are all people who want to be mothers, and they are still so unstable."
"If it weren't for your big day, I wouldn't have gone out." Now that Zhao Xiunian has not yet returned, Liu Sheng is making waves in the dynasty, and I only live in simplicity, and I refuse to go out of the Zhao family for half a step.
"Also," Sister Sun did not doubt that he had him, "General Zhao Xiao is still lying on the bed, you have just passed the first three months, the fetus is like the first stable, really should not run around."
"I'm here to marry my sister, but it's not a mess."
My protest was ineffective, but Sister Sun still asked Mrs. Sun to take care of me in all directions, lest something happen to me accidentally.
When the auspicious time came, the groom official welcomed the bride away, and I had to eat a meal at Sun's house and then go back.
After lunch, I walked back slowly and leisurely, and somehow I felt that my eyelids were very heavy, and I couldn't open my eyes at all when I got into the carriage.
When I woke up again, I only felt a sore back, and I slept very unsteadily, but when I opened my eyes, it was a very strange environment.
I was shocked and immediately regained my composure.
I only hated that after I got pregnant, I was too lax, but I told Liu Sheng, a thief, to get a chance.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be in a zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.
The time was in a hurry, and Liu Sheng didn't have time to make me far, but he just settled a place first.
I should eat and drink, the mother-in-law who delivered the meal was deaf and dumb, and the service was very sweet, but I ignored my words.
On the third day, I heard a large number of soldiers and horses running outside, and I guessed that Liu Sheng had turned against him.
The movement outside the house has not stopped.
When I heard soldiers and horses entering the city, it seemed that a group of soldiers and horses had come again.
But the house was locked, I couldn't pry it open, and there were two tiger-eyed mother-in-laws guarding it, and they even tied me up these days.
It seemed that after a few more days, the sound of shouting and killing outside finally stopped, and Liu Sheng broke in with wind and fire.
"Lin Wan, I've come to pick you up as empress." He laughed fiercely, "Aren't you happy?!"
I look at him like that, most likely defeated, covered in blood, not embarrassed.
He pressed forward, "Don't you want to?!"
"Would you like anything, to accompany you to hell?" I was very calm, "Liu Sheng, you lost."
"Hahahaha," he said, "how can you lose?"
"You only need to be with you, and you will be reborn again, you will kill Zhao Xiunian first, and if you get you first, you will be able to win!"
He took the knife and pressed forward step by step, "Lian Bao, don't be afraid, as long as it hurts so much, we will go back, and then our family of three..."
A family of three.
I seemed to understand Liu Sheng's obsession.
"Shut up!" I shouted angrily, "What right do you have to mention a family of three!"
"You killed Oak, you killed my Oak!"
"Nothing!" I don't want to!" He stopped when he heard this, "... There is not a single day in the previous life that I did not regret it, and the oak child who regretted it left the decay early!"
"He is also the heir of the painstaking cultivation, and he has also poured the most effort into him, he is the most talented and outstanding child of the yuan, and his brothers are no match for his virtuousness and courtesy!" 」
"Before she died, she also knew the true face of Deng Lian'er, and she told her that she had never loved Heren, and she joined forces with Princess De to poison her!"
"Just because she wanted the third princess, Nuan Hee, to go and kiss her, they, all the women in the harem, united to poison her!"
They did a beautiful job, much better than when I was alive.
"Lotus Treasure, you have changed everything, and you will not marry so many women into the palace," he hurriedly pulled out a bracelet from his arms, which was the best mutton fat jade, "You see, you liked the mutton fat bracelet the most in your previous life, and you deliberately found someone to beat it."
"You're sorry For Oak, and you're sorry for me." I was very calm, "Do you remember Oak's birthday?"
"Of course, I remember that Oak Was Born in September of the Thirty-seventh Year of Huaihua..." He looked at my stomach and got stuck for a while, "Oak Er..."
"Oak is coming."
"You killed him once, and you want to kill him a second time?"
Liu Sheng was stunned, and then said frantically, "Impossible!"
"He won't be Oak!" His father is not me, how can he be a oak!"
"It doesn't matter who his dad is, what matters is that he's my child."
"He's Oak." I stood up, but my hands were still tied, "Liu Sheng, I only ask you one question, when did Zhao Xiunian die in the previous life?!"
I remember that in the previous life, when I was lying in the Fengyi Palace waiting for death, for a while Wen Xing always secretly cried, and secretly burned paper outside, she pretended to be fine, but I could smell the incense candles on her body.
At that time, I was terminally ill, and I really didn't have the strength to take care of these things.
"He," Liu Sheng laughed, "he died earlier than you."
"The generals of the Yuan have all cultivated, so why should they keep a dog that cares about the Empress of the Yuan!"
"You fart!" I was very angry at him, but I caused Liu Sheng to laugh, "You two really have an adulterous affair."
"Lin Wan, Lin Wan, have you ever thought that Zhao Xiunian is also reborn and returns!"
"He knows the iron ore of decay, the pox of decay, the schemes of decay, if he is not reborn, how can he know everything?!" 」
"He's hiding from you, lying to you!"
"That's what I told him!" I laughed, "I don't like people calling me Lotus Treasure at all, I don't like the mutton fat bracelet at all, all I like from beginning to end is Zhao Xiunian this person!" What he likes is that he calls me Lotus Treasure, and he gives me a bracelet!"
Seeing that his knife was about to stab me in the chest, I didn't close my eyes, but I was sorry and sorry.
It seems that I can't accompany Zhao Xiunian to the end of this life.
Just then, an arrow broke through the window and hit him directly in the neck.
Liu Sheng slowly collapsed, and the rope in my hand was almost torn open at this time.
I pulled off the hairpin on my head, and although it was just a wooden hairpin, it was enough.
"Zhao Xiunian will never lie to me."
"If he comes back from the dead, the first thing he does is kill you."
I closed my eyes and poked the hairpin into his eyes.
Liu Sheng struggled a few times, and then lost his breath.
"In my last life, they did a great job."
I crouched there, and Zhao Xiunian broke through the door.
As soon as he picked me up, his hands were shaking, "Are you okay, are you okay?"
"I'm all right," I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my cheek against his cheek, "I just, I miss you so much."
He tightened his arms and walked out with me in his arms, "I'm sorry Wan'er, I'm sorry I'm late."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
I obviously wanted to comfort him, but somehow, I was more and more wronged by him, and finally I couldn't stop crying, and I was ashamed of the soldiers around me, and only buried my face in his chest, crying out of breath.
Finally he carried me into the carriage, and I cried tired and fell asleep in his arms, still clutching his front flap in my hands.
When we woke up again, it was already night, and the two of us were lying on our bed with good manners.
He was still asleep, presumably tired from months of running, I couldn't bear to wake him, only quietly got out of bed and called Wen zhi in.
There was already LangZhong waiting in the Zhao Mansion, and after taking the pulse, it was good that the child in my belly was fine.
Only then did I ask Wen Zhi in detail about the previous days.
It turned out that I came out of Sun's house that day, the carriage broke down on the road, the coachman went to find the carriage, the guard and Wenzhi stood by the carriage, and I slept soundly in the carriage.
Wen Zhi said that the carriage was protected by the Zhao family guards, but after she was stunned, I disappeared under their eyes.
The Zhao family searched for three days without success, and even Sister Sun and Lady Sun blamed themselves, and when everyone was anxious, the crown prince Liu Sheng turned back.
No less than two days Later, Zhao Xiunian led three thousand light horses from the southeast camp to escort him.
Liu Sheng was captured, but escaped from the Heavenly Prison Secret Passage.
Zhao Xiunian chased Liu Sheng sleeplessly for three days, and just happened to save me.
I sat there and reached for my stomach.
Wen Zhi quietly withdrew, but Another coat was added behind me.
"How did you get up?" I looked back at him.
"Woke up." His voice was a little hoarse, "Hold me for a while."
I leaned on him, and the two of them didn't speak for a while.
After a long time, Zhao Xiunian began to speak.
"Wan Wan'er, why do you ask him how I died in my previous life?"
"I always felt that you shouldn't have died that year." I lowered my head, "We've avoided it to the point where we can't avoid it anymore, but he still can't let you go."
"It's okay." He wrapped his arms around me from behind, "I killed him in this life, and I don't have to avoid you."
"I can hold you and go home generously."
"Zhao Xiunian." I dumbfounded, "When all the dust settles, let's go to Gangnam."
Two lifetimes of intrigue and deception, I am really tired.
"Okay." He said, "Wait a minute, I'll take you to Gangnam to see the peach blossoms."
28
On the second day, Zhao Xiunian stayed at home with me for a day, and the two of us were slimy in the courtyard for a day.
On the third day, he went up to the pilgrimage again.
The emperor's body became more and more decayed, and after Liu Sheng plotted against him, he was angry and vomited blood, and made several decisions when he was sober.
Deposed Crown Prince Liu Sheng, posthumously crowned prince, with the posthumous title of Dim (谥号昏).
Liu Zhe, the fifth prince, was made crown prince.
The general Zhao Xiunian of Zhengxi had meritorious service in escorting the car and was given the title of Marquis of Yiyong.
Hubu Shangshu Lin Zhiyuan, and also the crown prince Taifu.
The following rewards do not need to be mentioned again.
My stomach grew bigger and bigger, fortunately, Que Er was really obedient, and did not want to make me suffer too much sin, I did not have much reaction, Zhao Xiunian was nervous, Li Er's first fetal movement, almost did not scare him to shout Lang Zhong.
In September of this year, when the autumn was high, my oak was born.
I was born for three hours, and Zhao Xiunian stood outside the delivery room like a wooden stake for three hours.
This led to Zhao Xiunian not having a good face for his son.
When the little pink dumplings were handed to me, I knew oak was back.
The mother-in-law was very happy to see Quercus, and the grandmother was also very happy.
The only bad thing is that we don't agree on Oak's name.
My grandmother said that my name was Ping'an Nu, my mother-in-law said that my name was Jin Ge'er, and I naturally wanted to call him Oak Er, and then Zhao Xiunian made a plan... Each is called each.
All right.
When Que Er was one year old, the emperor still could not survive, and he died in Huaihua for thirty-eight years.
The fifth prince ascended the throne and became emperor.
He was a very good emperor.
Zhao Xiu read the letter and asked for resignation.
The emperor did not allow it and was transferred to Hangzhou.
In the first year of Lu He, Zhao Xiunian took us to Hangzhou.
The peach blossoms in Hangzhou are beautiful.
Lu He two years, Sister Sun is pregnant, I was surprised but also very happy, in the previous life she could not be a mother, in this life she can do this wish.
Four years after Lu He, I was pregnant again.
This time it's my twin daughters.
Zhao Xiu read the name, Yue Lin, Ru Lin.
Yuelin Rulin looks almost exactly the same, but her personality is turned upside down.
Yue Lin is gentle and intimate, Ru Lin is lively and bright, the two have grown up under the knees of their mother-in-law since childhood, the degree of eating and wearing is exactly the same, and somehow they have raised such a strange two handmaidens, with the tone of the mother-in-law and helpless and like, that is, a son with his father, a son with his mother.
Later, Jingjing also became a relative, married to General Li Xiao, a deputy general under Zhao Xiunian.
It is said that at the first year of my family's oak wine, Jingjing fell in love with people at first sight, and then stalked and beat them for several years.
The husband and wife are the most able to talk, and the noisy and lively life is also very lively.
Later, Jingjing's first daughter, I took the name, Jingshu.
Aunt Ann sent a letter asking me to help break Jing Shu's temperament and not follow her mother.
Later, Sister Sun gave birth to three sons and two daughters in a row, the chicken flying dog in the family jumped well and was not lively, the partial birth Tanhua Lang was gentle in nature, and could not resist the three leather boys, and Sister Sun had to pick up her sleeve and pick up a bamboo pole to pick up this group of leather monkeys to go to the study.
In her letters, she often complained that her children were born and raised too much, but the words were all happiness, and I replied to her, often joking with her, that God is only afraid that the children who owe you in the previous life will compensate you together.
Later, as Oak Grew Bigger and Bigger, she also had a rebellious mentality, and Zhao Xiunian and I couldn't resist, and he went to study alone at the age of fifteen.
My husband and wife were angry and helpless, and could only comfort each other, and Li Er was both literate and martial, and since he was a child, he traveled with the two of us everywhere, and there should be no accidents.
Well, the little bunny cub is big, and the father can't find it anymore.
Later, the two of us returned to Beijing to accompany my father for the New Year, and his old man was already raising a family in the Lin Mansion, and the emperor felt that my father was idle and idle, so he sent his eldest prince over again.
When we came, we watched the grand prince read with milk and milk, and my father stared at the side, pointing out from time to time, so it was not warm.
That Yen Festival, Zhao Xiunian pulled me to learn those girls and boys and went out to hang out, in the end than the young people have energy, the two of us went to a restaurant to rest, but met the deceased.
Deng Lian'er.
She recognized me because I had quietly sponsored her brother to study.
Now that she is married to a woman, she has opened a restaurant in the best part of the capital, neat and smiling, gentle and strong, and she can't see the soft and weak pet concubine of the previous life.
Zhao Xiunian only cared about peeling shrimp for me, and I heard Mr. Storyteller telling the story of the northwest female general.
Chu Qian.
The Chu concubine of the previous life, the chu concubine who died depressed.
Now happily whipping horses in the northwest.
We all end up being the people we want to be.
The Lantern Festival lights were heavy, and Zhao Xiunian handed the shrimp to my mouth, "Taste."
I said, "Thank you."
He smiled dotingly, "Thanks for what."
Thank you.
Thank you for accompanying me from darkness to dawn.
Thank you for your desperate efforts to protect me.
Thank you for knowing that I am entangled with Liu Sheng and always choose to help me unconditionally.
Thank you for giving me back Oak.
Thank you for taking me through the landscapes of Da zhou instead of leaving me confined to the backyard.
Thank you, for this lifetime, for loving me.
Turn it on yourself
