Dad always said that if I had Artie's wisdom, he and his aunt wouldn't worry about me.
I wanted to marry to Beijing since I was a child, and I also made a wish not to marry my brother.
Who knows that fate makes people jealous that my brother died in a fire and I married his brother.
1
I really hate Jiang Nianpo.
It's not just annoying, almost to the point of hating the cold.
I don't hate him that much,
But he ran to the first emperor and said categorically that he fell in love with me at first sight and I would never marry him in my life. If the holy authorities don't allow him, he will never marry.
The first emperor was stupid, I was stupid, and my dad was stupid. A room full of people knelt in front of the first emperor's case and looked at each other. We first emperor was the first to react, clapping our hands and laughing wildly:
"Be, be, little stranger is my future daughter-in-law! 」
My name is Yimou, but all the women in the palace like to call me Xiao Mo.
In my time, I was not interested in picking up characters from girls' homes, but my father was the Hou of Zhenbei, and all the children of Yu's family had to learn martial arts, regardless of sex, so all the girls had to pick up characters.
So when I was born, my father leisurely pushed open the window sill of the house and took a look at the building outside the window. "Yimo" became my maiden name, and the year I died became my word again.

Actually, I don't know Jiang Suipo very well either. All I know is that all the ladies in this palace are afraid of him.
When I was a child, I followed my dad to Beijing to report my work. My favorite person is actually my brother.
He was crowned king at a young age and was the eldest son of the first emperor. Not only the little ladies in the palace like him, but also the ladies in Beijing who are proficient in poetry and songs seize the opportunity to attend the palace banquet, just to see him in the crowd.
/kloc-when I was 0/2 years old, I jumped on the tallest silver willow tree in my family and loudly announced to my father that I would marry my envious brother's family as a side princess. As a result, my dad pulled me down from the tree and told me that I would never marry in Beijing.
I refused to accept it, so I blushed and clashed with my father. Later, my father really didn't take me to Beijing for three years.
The person who took my class became my brother, and every time I saw the boy's triumphant appearance after he came back from Beijing, I was so angry:
When your sister and I were in Beijing, your boy was still nursing in your mother's arms!
But in fact, I also understand that it is impossible to admire my brother for liking me.
During my three years in Lingbei, I listened to my smelly brother vividly boasting about the details of the harmony between his royal highness and the princess of Qi.
I was a little depressed, so I scolded him to stop talking.
Chen Yuxi made a face, and learn to dad's tone to pretend:
"Don't I ridge north how many my hero is not as good as the city that help weak childe? 」
Brother Xian is not a weak son. I muttered something in my mind.
But not long after I returned to Beijing, the son of heaven married me to Jiang Suipo.
A broken woman who has searched all the scattered memories in her mind but can't find any trace.
So I rolled my eyes angrily, trying to find out who this Jiang Suipo really is and why she is so hostile. I just met several times and I can't wait to marry me.
The latter noticed my eyes, just gently tugged at the corners of his mouth without changing color, and then slowly knelt down to thank him: "Father understands my son, and my son is grateful." 」
"Your majesty, it seems that ..." My dad wanted to refuse in a flurry, but before the word "inappropriate" could break through between his lips and teeth, it was blocked by this hateful Jiang Suipo.
"I will fall in love with the patent, affectionate! 」
His voice echoed in the hall of hall of mental cultivation, and Black Line's father was choked to silence. The ministers and queens watching the war looked different, but the first emperor crossed his hands and called him good.
Asking for a compliment is really affectionate. After only a few meetings, he said he wanted to marry me. That's what the kid who lied to Goulan's little lady did!
three
My name is Yu, and the word Mo. I am the only daughter of Beihou, a town in the dynasty. I am sixteen this year.
On the New Year's Eve, my father took me into the palace to claim the title of monarch, and by the way, I met the Empress Dowager and many relatives in the palace whom I hadn't seen for three years.
I didn't know that the princess was not sealed, but she was inexplicably married by the son of heaven.
Gloomily, after eating the wine on the New Year's Eve, I don't know what the five emperors are thinking. How can I be attracted by this piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?
Am I too beautiful to catch him?
"What are you thinking!" I was severely knocked on the head by the accompanying Yu Shu.
"Elder sister, you have a good look in the mirror. Which of these young ladies who go to Beijing is as white as snow and as gentle as you? 」
I am a little angry: "This little lady who goes to Beijing won't ride a horse and shoot arrows like me!" " 」
"Elder sister, you are the only daughter in Zhenbei. The border between Dameng and Beiqiang depends on Dad. Why do you think he married you? 」
However, it turned against the laughter of the past and began to analyze with me:
"Now you envy brother gone, five prince jiang in the east is sui broken minutes. 」
Northern Qiang is a menace to Meng. My father has been a soldier on the battlefield all his life. I don't know how many times he scared off the northern Qiang fighters at the Mongolian-Qiang border. The people in the north and north of Lingbei respect him very much, which is why the emperor called me into the palace as a king to show his appreciation.
Yan said so, I didn't react. When I married my emperor and my father, it was no longer a simple relationship between monarch and minister. Only when I married my in-laws could I be more stable.
But I don't want to marry Jiang Suipo. I don't know him at all.
There is a rumor in Beijing that Jiang Suipo set a fire in Xiangmanlou and burned my envious brother to death. After Wang Qi died, he could sit firmly in the hands of the emperor.
I don't believe it, but I told him that it is very common for this son of heaven to kill his brother for some power.
I was in a trance, so I received the news of my brother's death. I leaned on the silver willow at home for a long time and felt a little like crying, but I couldn't cry while waiting.
I'm not what people like. Who am I crying to now sitting under this tree?
But how sad Princess Nagi was. The man who agreed to grow old with Whitehead left like this without even saying goodbye to her.
I was struck by the jealousy of my brother's death, so I didn't go to Beijing with my father's summary. I really listened to my father's words and began to pay attention to my hero in Lingbei. Who knows, it didn't take long for me to pick the passbook that sealed the princess in the palace.
This is fate, maybe I am destined to enter the palace.
"Sister," Yan Zhi said, "remember, if you are wronged, you must tell us. Although Houfu in the north of the town is far from Beijing, if you are wronged, my father and I will come to seek justice for you. 」
The first time I saw him talking to me so seriously, my nose became sour and I began to cry unwillingly.
However, Zhenbei's father stopped his voice in a low voice: "Why are you crying? Unlike my daughter! " ! 」
I was so scared that I only dared to poke my nose occasionally and sit up and listen to my father's lecture.
"Five prince looked at is not easy to get along with, you later in the palace, wronged to tell town north Hou Fu. 」
Dad's tone this time is very calm, without the pent-up anger like the first time.
My nose is getting worse. I know this is the only thing my father can do for me in this involuntary marriage. /kloc-In the past six years, his tone of speaking to me has never been so helpless and powerless as it is today.
four
I don't know if Jiang Suipo can get along well, but since I got the title of quasi-fifth prince and princess, my every move in the palace has been carefully watched by all kinds of people.
For example, Empress De Fei, as the biological mother of Jiang Suipo, has a pair of eyes that look exactly like Jiang Suipo in some ways.
She always took my hand and said with a smile, "Little Mo 'er should be kind to Pearl. ",
However, when she doesn't look at me, I always feel that there is a faint cool thin in her eyes, just like her hand on the back of my hand, which is always cold.
And miss Lu, the second daughter of the Hou family in Wu' an. She is really a freak.
The first time I met her, she was surrounded by a group of governesses to discuss poems and songs by Weiyang Lake.
I stood in the back and listened, but the voice was too low. I just heard them discussing how to embed the word "stranger" in the poem, which sounded unconventional.
Graceful ladies have been working hard on this for a long time. They either "blossom on strangers" or "dance on strangers".
It seems that this "stranger" is not only associated with the meaning of "field ridge", but also can't think of a better understanding, and makes everyone feel petty.
However, Lu came to a fascinating conclusion:
It can be seen that this strange word is not atmospheric, and it is used less.
Hardly had her voice fallen when she stood up angrily. Isn't this obviously arranged for me? !
Before entering the palace, I heard that the two daughters of the Hou family in Wu 'an were obedient and perverse. One became a princess of Qi, and the other loved the unpredictable five princes for many years. The latter is Lu.
At the moment, with a contemptuous expression on her face, she repeated the word "stranger" in her mouth, and all the ladies in Beijing here knew its meaning at once.
Today, I'm going to show you what the daughter of Zhenbei Houfu is good at playing!
But when I carried it out, I remembered the "teaching" that Dad and Chan told me when they left Beijing:
It's okay. Let sleeping dogs lie.
I wilted again.
Indeed, before he got married, he made a scene in the imperial garden. Dad's face is so embarrassing, and the face of Hou Fu in the north of the city is so embarrassing.
As a result, I stopped, ready to secretly keep this tone in mind and calculate it next time, but I was stopped as soon as I turned around.
"It's unfortunate, small stranger son how also here? 」
She smiled and said to me, very seriously, biting the word "stranger" very hard.
Take it out. Take it out.
I shun shun qi, eyebrow eye curved also smiled at her:
"A poem written by a willing heart is" When you ride a strange horse, you will find a stone in front of the grave "and" Dance wildly in front of the bottle and help each other when you are drunk ".
People without brains will only talk over and over again around the spring scenery on the ridge. 」
Miss Hou Er in Wu 'an got red in the face with anger, staring at her eyes and saying that I am a bitch from Lingbei.
Passing 18-wheeler, I was startled by Jiang Suipo who came out of nowhere before I knew it.
He like athel Loren cross in front of me and every cold way:
"This is not just my legally married princess, but I know how to make the princess down a peg or two. 」
five
This Jiang Suipo is exactly the same as the rumored rain or shine. A few months ago, he told the emperor that he would never marry in his life. A few months later, he protected his other sweetheart under the clear sky.
Bah! That's disgusting. My envious brother won't do this. He will only devote himself wholeheartedly to his princess.
It can't be this Jiang Suipo. It's not enough to eat what's in the bowl, but also what's in the pot.
"You who love to take this broken princess card, we are all my heroes in the north of the ridge, who will give you a Chen Shimei who can't do anything! 」
I threw this sentence angrily, waved my sleeve and left.
Really speechless. Hou Di's second daughter was born in Wu 'an. How could she not be worthy of his status as a princess?
Why did you come here? I want to marry me. Now I'm losing my freedom day by day, not to mention my freedom.
The night before my wedding, my mother asked someone to send me some silver willows. She said they were my favorite since I was a child, and I was afraid I couldn't plant them on the border of Beijing. If they dry up in the future, I will write back and ask her for more, so that she can take this silver willow into the palace with me.
I miss my mother, but my mother and father don't like to see me cry, so I put colorful silver willows into bottles in different categories. The general servant asked me, and I said that this is the dowry I brought from the Houfu of Zhenbei.
In fact, I don't play with Little Love Silver Willow just because it is furry and cute.
When I first went to Houfu, Zhenbei, I envied my brother for breaking two or three branches from the old silver willow tree at home and praised it as beautiful, so I remembered the way he folded willow in the warm sun that day and looked back and smiled many years later.
Now that I think about it, it was a long time ago.
Where is the silver willow tip on the residual snow window? I stared at them floating around for a long time, but I couldn't settle down.
The next day, I looked at Jiang Suipo's face through a thin layer of red gauze.
It's a pity that he didn't play football. If he hadn't heard the unquestionable tone with his own ears when he was protecting Lu that day, the smile on his lips at the moment really meant to be buried with him.
Looking at that dazzling day with trepidation, I still can't shake my strong sense of disillusionment.
Before 16 years old, I fantasized about getting married countless times.
Or on the edge of the blue sea, or on the highest peak of Guique Mountain north of the ridge, or ... in the Qi Palace,
It never occurred to me that all the Manchu civil servants kneeling in front of this Taiji Hall came to congratulate me on my marriage.
How can it be? I can't imagine why Miss Hou Fu's wedding can be so grand.
It's just that there is no one in the town of Beihou House under this stage.
It is said that the new king of Northern Qiang is ready to go, and will immediately return to the land of the border troops.
If he doesn't go to the battlefield, he will set off daytime firecrackers with hundreds of thousands of brothers in the frontier to congratulate Sister A on her marriage.
So, today, when Shi Mao was changed to the dressing room by Mammy, I simply replaced the two phoenixes in the tail bun with silver willow branches sent by Niang.
When the queen came to marry me, she saw that I was stubborn and willow, so she gave up the idea of persuading me and let me go.
However, at this time, when Jiang Suipo lifted my veil, she accidentally touched two silver willows on my temple, but her hands froze for no reason.
Maybe he's afraid I'll be poisoned by this silver willow?
I'm afraid I don't have too much blood on my hands, so I'm uncomfortable walking, sitting and lying down!
He frowned a few times, and then smiled and touched my eyebrow eye:
"Chen, I don't like silver willow, don't wear it next time, ok? 」
Not good! What don't you like about me? This young lady doesn't want to marry you yet!
His deceptive and sticky tone should be left to his Miss Lu Er. We can't afford it.
It's just that people are under the eaves, and it's a wedding night, so they can't kiss each other's faces, so they squeeze out a smile and say, "These are the only silver willows that my father brought to Mo. It's not bad for your highness to leave some thoughts." 」
He seemed to have expected my answer, but he didn't stop smiling. He just stared at my face by candlelight.
I was frightened by his eyes. He really scared me.
The five princes near Weiyang Lake in the imperial garden that day were completely different from the so-called "husband" in front of me now. I refused, without even a sad expression.
He is like an audience under the stage. He left me on the stage to watch my monologue.
Finally, he began to take off the hairpin and ring for me. What the maid should do is that he waved the maid away. I shrink my neck, and his smug expression doesn't seem to be fake.
No wonder you like him so much. Although he looks a little worse than admiring his brother, this skill of pretending to be gentle is really beyond others' learning, and he openly protects her in front of everyone. If I were Lu, I would be tempted for a moment.
It's a pity that I have seen him change his face quickly. He pretends to be gentle now, which can only be equated with hypocrisy in my eyes.
"Close your clothes and sleep." He finally said.
He really doesn't like me, so I'm relieved. Otherwise, I have to keep vigil for Miss Lujia on the wedding night.
If you ask me, he doesn't even have to play with me in front of me, because he has his own heart, and there is no need to say a superfluous word without anyone watching him.
I shivered all night and didn't sleep much, but he slept soundly by dressing.
I finally fainted at dawn, and I was the only one left when I woke up.
Koharu said that his royal highness got off the court and waited for me in the lobby to visit the Queen at Fengyi Palace. I already read it. Tell her to make a bun quickly. The little girl teased me with a smile:
"Empresses know that the imperial concubine was tired last night and won't embarrass you again. 」
I smiled wryly, thinking of Jiang Broken's quiet face and unpredictable temper, and I resisted seeing him again.
When I came to the front hall, he had already left the field, and now even the royal suit has faded. He looked at me calmly, walked over step by step, and his eyes quickly passed a few emotions that I couldn't understand.
I hope that if Lu wears this dress, I can cherish the merits of our family. Isn't he the one who wants to marry me?
Since I asked for it myself, I never blamed him for breaking my desire to stay in Lingbei. What qualifications does he have to be lonely here?
As usual, he took my hand in full view. This kind of love, he didn't even appreciate Qi Mei's plays.
I don't need to describe the later things, except that the empress told me to take care of the whole family for Jiang Suipo and continue his descendants as soon as possible.
After all, Jiang Suipo wanted to marry her at the front door, so he shouldn't touch me.
six
The second month after I married the princess of the Five Princes, Jiang Sui-po was made a prince as Yan said.
It didn't make much waves. After all, there are many times more ostentation and extravagance on our wedding day than the wedding of an ordinary prince. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Suipo fully supports the Chu army.
With his light, I also became a crown princess.
The gate of the East Palace was almost broken by the courtiers who came to congratulate him, but he refused to leave a shadow on others, and Shi Shiran was alone in the study.
It's really unlucky I am a weak woman. I have to thank him in front of the East Palace!
Many reported old people want to send their daughters to the East Palace to be the side concubine of Jiang Suipo. Empress De Fei must also be happy to see the East Palace more lively, so as to have grandchildren as soon as possible.
But only I know that Jiang Suipo still has Lu in his heart. I'm the only one in this huge East Palace, and I'm bored with Koharu every day planning how to escape from the palace so as not to be discovered by Jiang Suipo.
One day, after I sent off the doddering assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry who still insisted on coming to pay homage, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Koharu sharply:
"This wuan where don't deserve his second daughter in Hou Di? Why did he refuse to marry someone else and provoke her? 」
Koharu hurriedly covered my mouth and panicked: "Your Highness, you are really crazy. Hou Wu 'an is now extremely powerful in the previous forces. Princess Qi is only one step away from becoming a crown princess. Will the emperor let his family marry another crown princess into the East Palace? ! 」
I was shocked by this tortuous logic again.
Yan said it really well. My elm head is in danger in this harem. Even Koharu knows the truth. It took me three months to understand.
Actually, Mrs. Jiang Sui doesn't like to provoke me on weekdays. He just doesn't like seeing the silver willow branches on my head.
Mindful of the sadness that he left his sweetheart and only loved not to marry, I finally relented and only inserted a silver willow bottle in my room.
Another reason is that he is really busy. I can't see him in the morning. He also took a few quick bites at lunch and hurried to Yangxintang, sometimes not coming back until dinner.
I thought it was good at first, but out of sight, out of mind.
I wonder if it's because we've been together for too long. I was ready to rest at three o'clock that day, but I felt a little distressed when I saw that his news was called to the imperial study by the emperor in the middle of the night, so I stopped him loudly: "I'll ask Koharu to heat your meal when you come back at night." 」
He suddenly had a state, and his hand tied with a cloak and belt stopped for a second or two. The sudden silence made me a little embarrassed, so I added in a low voice, "You always wake me up when I come back at night ..."
"Don't need it. 」
He is high again, a white goose down cloak disappeared in the night, Koharu lightly chastising way:
"My good imperial concubine, on weekdays, you were awakened by your highness one night. Why do you say that? 」
I felt inexplicably guilty about what she said, and decided not to go to bed until he came back tonight, so I sat in the front hall holding the heater, propped my head up, and had a shallow sleep.
seven
The next morning, I woke up on the sofa. When I opened my eyes, I saw Koharu's face covered with black lines.
"ah! 」
I got a fright and sat up quickly, but I knocked Koharu to the ground.
The bedroom door was flung open, and I was worried about Jiang Suipo in a secret suit. Seeing that I was still in my pajamas, his short-lived worry turned into a frown.
Then he quit, and Koharu and I looked at each other.
I was stunned and speechless. It turned out that his Zhang Wannian's face, without sadness or joy, still showed a worried look.
Koharu sat up and criticized the fact that I didn't accompany your highness to have a midnight snack when I fell asleep yesterday, but my mind was still replaying the appearance of him just entering the door and laughing to myself.
He should marry me not only for the name of the important town of Beihoufu, right? Koharu said that he returned to the palace last night and saw me asleep, still hugging me. If he really doesn't like me, he doesn't even want to touch me, does he
Koharu saw me smirking alone and thought I was sleepy, so he put out a finger and waved it in front of my eyes: "Your Highness, what do you think this is?" One or two? 」
"ah! 」
I pushed her away again, but I didn't imagine what he was doing with me in front of me that day.
He's probably just playing along with me again. In case I complain to the Houfu of Zhenbei, I think his face will be hard.
Empress De Fei likes me more and more, thanks to Jiang Suipo's good ability to treat me as a guest before.
Every time you see me, you praise me for being sensible and steady. I secretly wondered why no queen had heard anything about the big fight that day and in the imperial garden.
Instead, from time to time, I advised the prince to take a concubine and marry a side princess, which was clearly inquired by these idle empresses.
"Little stranger, advised pearl concubinage is not a way. You are the master of the East Palace harem, and you should set an example first. 」
She teased me with a smile and wore a dark green gold satin beaded jacket, which sometimes made her look like a queen.
I really feel sorry for the queen.
The queen is the wife of the emperor, but she has no children for many years. When the queen mother doesn't go, she always seizes this point and establishes a new queen for the emperor.
I looked at Empress De Fei, and she smiled tenderly and kindly in front of me, thinking that if Jiang Suipo ascended the throne in the future, Empress De Fei would not do this to me. The queens in this harem are all duplicitous. I really don't know what to do when that day comes.
I smiled shyly and responded to Princess De: "Since Yimo is a crown princess, it is my duty to think of your highness everywhere. It is also urgent to have an heir as soon as possible ... "
Empress De Fei responded, so she asked me to accompany Jiang Suipo back to the East Palace. I don't know why. Today, when I walked arm in arm with him in the palace, I didn't twist like before, but I blushed a little and my hands were a little pumping.
As a result, he grabbed it with his arm and pulled it tighter.
It suddenly occurred to me that a few years ago, Zen Wisdom told me that King Kiki and Princess Kiki were walking arm in arm on the palace road, and somehow their noses were a little sour, so they buried their heads lower.
I envy my brother and princess for at least truly loving each other, so what am I standing beside him now?
Maybe all he wanted at first was a princess with good life experience and good temper to help him succeed. Those little details that others seem sincere are just his means of confusing people.
Since he boasted that he wanted to be affectionate with me on the orders of the emperor, the play should be played at least until he ascended the throne and married Lu into the palace.
"Not happy? 」
His sudden voice distracted me. I looked up at him blankly, and he looked at me seriously. I shook my head in panic: "Nothing." 」
Hearing this, he smiled and comforted me and said, "Don't be paranoid. 」
It's really good. Does he smile at me in the same way? But why am I a little unwilling?
He is still far away from me, but I don't hate him as much as I did a few months ago.
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
eight
After I 16 years old married into the East Palace, I was left with much less time to think about many unnecessary problems than I was in Lingbei.
And Lingbei and Beiqiang are constantly rubbing their hands. I think even if I stay there, my parents will take me to the battlefield.
After the cold food festival family dinner, the palace was in a mess.
Koharu said that the emperor's gout was very severe this time, and his kneecap was swollen.
The day after the banquet, he couldn't get up. Empress Empress and Empress De took turns to serve medicine at the front of the collapse every day, and the people who founded the country and governed the country became Jiang Suipo.
In detail, this is both his blessing and his misfortune.
Envy brother went, the second and third died young, and the fourth had no intention of fighting politics. This can be attributed to Jiang Suipo. He stays up late every day, and the other brothers are too young to help him.
I was still the only one in the East Palace, but when I was sitting in the middle of the court with a silver willow newly sent by my mother, I vaguely felt that the weather in the Forbidden City was going to change.
This fear didn't last long, because it was confirmed a few months later.
The emperor barely opened his eyes and saw that it was me and Jiang Suipo kneeling in front of the collapse and struggling to smile. Then he folded his hands and trembled a few times, squeezing out a few thin flies and mosquitoes:
"Xiao Mo ... I'm relieved to have you to protect him ..."
At that time, I didn't understand why I was protecting him, but the old emperor looked so sad that I had never seen him before.
This is the wish of the dying person and the answer. What's more, I really need to accompany him in the endless years to come.
"Pearl ..."
He trembled and held our hands tighter with greater strength. His faded and tired eyes stared at Jiang Suipo, who looked on resolutely: "You must be kind to Jin Lang ..."
Who's Jin Lang?
Jiang Suipo seems not satisfied with the old emperor's answer. He was so excited that he wanted to pick himself up, which scared me, the queen and all the minions to exclaim again and again.
He looked straight at the ginger woman, trying to deter him with the power of the son of heaven that had dissipated in himself:
You swear to me! 」
I can't move because of the sadness that the emperor can't hide in his eyes. Jiang Suipo's expression in the corner is still as calm as water. He held the old emperor's wrist with his free hand and said calmly, "I swear." 」
The old emperor seemed to get a satisfactory answer. He leaned his head heavily on the bright yellow soft couch and looked at the ceiling with his eyes open.
It took the doctor too long to reach out and know that he had left before a bunch of people collapsed.
nine
A sad voice was splashed, and the venue was full of sorrow.
When I put on white clothes and plain clothes, Koharu secretly told me that Jin Lang was the posthumous son of His Royal Highness Wang Qi.
On the day of burial, Princess Qi cried her eyes out. When she went to a hospital, the blood she found was still in her body.
"But how come I've never heard of it in this palace?" I asked her in a low voice.
"The first emperor wanted to take the princess empress into the palace to have children, but the princess didn't want to. She crustily skin of head gave birth to the little emperor grandson in the deserted palace, but she didn't want to take him into the palace ... "
"The first emperor couldn't. Seeing that their orphan and widowed mother's home was pitiful, he made his little grandson his little grandson and sent more people to take care of them under an excuse ..."
