Unlucky

That night, the autumn wind blew across the silent lake under the moonlight, and the two reunited after a long absence leaned on each other, counting the time that missed each other.

Tianxiang's voice is low and soft, melodious and melodious, lingering in the hearts of the listeners.

Feng Suzhen has been holding her hand and holding her in her arms, with a tense expression on her face, worrying about gain and loss that cannot be hidden.

She was always afraid that this was a dream about to wake up.

She hugged the warm body tightly in her arms, wishing she could rub it into the bone marrow and seep into the flesh and blood.

"At that time, I really thought that I might not survive..."

As soon as Tianxiang opened her head, she keenly noticed that the person hugging her stiffened, and the strength of the hug deepened. She frowned in pain, "The cliff is too high, and the water is so strong, I lost consciousness in pain."

As long as she closes her eyes, she can still picture that scene in her mind.

Her disabled and broken body was washed to the downstream rock by the current, the blood under her body soaked her clothes and hair, and her body exuded a strong fishy smell.

The injuries were severe, none of the internal organs and limbs were intact.

Pain ate away at her consciousness, and her will to live was weakened by pain and despair.

A crow twittered from the mountains. She had read in books when she was a child that crows like carrion the most. At this moment, she must have been attracted by the smell of blood on her body.

Her heart began to fear, and when she closed her eyes, swarms of black crows would surround her body and peck at her flesh and blood bit by bit.

The picture she imagined made her feel horrified and disgusted, and she almost wanted to vomit.

She wanted to die, to be free.

But he was afraid of what would happen after his death.

As the sky darkened a little bit, the voices in my ears became clearer, mixed with the sounds of insects and running water.

She felt that most of the wounds had dried up, and no more blood flowed out, but the part immersed in the water, she couldn't imagine, seemed to have turned white...

If she died like this, no one would find her dead body in the wilderness, and the crows would eat up her body and swallow the last of her in this world.

Thinking about it this way, I can't help but fear, and I have the desire to survive.

But she didn't know how to live, whether someone would show up, or whether he could wait for that person?

In fact, it wasn't too bad. Her body was submerged in the water, and she could still drink the water with her head tilted. She wouldn't be thirsty to death within a while.

The wound was involved while drinking water, she was so painful that she almost fainted, but she tried her best not to fall asleep.

A piece of the bamboo flute slipped from her chest and met her eyes, and she felt sour and compassionate for a moment.

This was the first gift Feng Suzhen gave her, she loved it so much, she always carried it with her, and she couldn't put it down.

At this most desperate moment, only this little bamboo flute witnessed her panic of death and despair of reality.

I miss that person so much that I almost forget the pain.

If she could have spoken first four years ago, wouldn't the days have passed by long ago?

They managed to get out of the fog in their hearts and mustered up the courage to face up to their own hearts, but they were about to die forever.

She hated it so much, so unwillingly.

She didn't want to die, she was afraid that Feng Suzhen would suffer too much after death, and that Feng Suzhen would be miserable for the rest of her life.

But she was also afraid that Feng Suzhen would slowly forget about her and Ren Suiyue would wipe her out.

She has always been a domineering and persistent woman, and she has established the belief that she must fight for everything she wants since she was a child.

She felt that it was absurd that the love she had finally won would end because of her birthday.

She can't.

So she resolutely said to herself in her heart, Dongfang Tianxiang, hold on.

For Feng Suzhen, live.

It was not until the morning of the third day that Feng Nanshi, who was chopping firewood, was attracted.

At that time, she was on the verge of death and began to have hallucinations. She only smiled and reached out to the man in a blur, "It's useful..."

But at this moment, regarding these things, Tianxiang just looked at Feng Suzhen and smiled softly, "When I was almost unable to hold on, Brother Feng saved me."

Feng Suzhen lowered her head to kiss her bright eyes lightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears fell into her pressed lips.

Hot and scorching, I don't know if it's the temperature of tears or lips.

"Don't be sad, I just came back to life, I can tell you what you want to know now..."

Feng Suzhen held her in her arms, like a treasure, and asked in her ear over and over again, "Does it still hurt?"

Her face was pale, but she shook her head with a smile, "It's not hurting for a long time."

Then he took Feng Suzhen's hand and clasped it in the palm of his hand, continuing to speak.

"Brother Feng was very down and out at the time, poor and full of debts, and he could only make do to feed me some wild vegetables with rice soup. At that time, I thought dejectedly, maybe I would starve to death due to malnutrition."

Feng Suzhen didn't say a word, just stroked her slender wrist over and over again, her eyes were full of distress.

"But lucky people have their own nature. Brother Feng carried me to the biggest drugstore in the city. At first, because he had no money and no one was willing to rescue me, he kept blocking the door and refused to let people open for business. " She laughed aloud at this point, "I've never seen anyone as thick-skinned as him. He used almost everything, and finally let the pharmacy boss save me."

"Your physical condition at that time required a large number of rare drugs."

"That's right, so of course the pharmacy owner wouldn't be willing. Brother Feng took this opportunity to abduct his daughter, so my illness has been on the line of life and death for more than half a year. If the pharmacy owner's daughter can steal some medicinal materials I will eat some, if not, I can only endure the pain..."

"Tianxiang..."

"Fool, I don't even cry. Why are you crying? It's my fate. In the winter of that year, Brother Feng went up to the mountain to collect herbs. He accidentally stepped on a Ganoderma lucidum. After the identification of the pharmacy owner's daughter, it was found that it had been killed for thousands of years. For a hundred years, my body was weak and I just needed that Ganoderma lucidum tonic, so Brother Feng let me eat that Ganoderma lucidum. After sleeping for a few days, I woke up and could get out of bed and walk a few steps. Being able to get out of bed after a complete recovery is the second The beginning of spring..."

Feng Suzhen was silent, she was already very grateful to Feng Nanshi in her heart, she had already secretly got Tianxiang's pulse when they met.

Although Tianxiang's body is weak, she is really not seriously ill. It's just a pity that she has no internal energy, and now she may have become a person with no strength to restrain a chicken.

It felt like cutting flesh and blood with a knife in my heart, it was extremely painful.

"You see, I have to repay such a big favor from Brother Feng, so I played an indispensable role in matching her and sister-in-law!"

She turned around and raised her head slightly, looked at Feng Suzhen and said with some pride, "I encourage Brother Feng to elope with his sister-in-law first, and then go back after they have children. Good guy, the owner of the pharmacy is also a powerful old man. He is so shrewd." Very, so I fought wits and courage with him..."

Listening to her lively description, Feng Suzhen gradually relaxed her brows, with a smile on her face, pampering and gentle.

At such a moment, she just felt that Tianxiang was still that smart, quick-witted, always energetic princess.

"Then it was your suggestion that Feng Nanshi become the champion of the new department?"

"That's not true. I'm used to the court's intrigues, and I don't want Brother Feng to get involved again. It's not my sister-in-law's stubborn old father. He bluntly asked him to agree to their marriage, and insisted that my elder brother get fame! "

"Your elder brother is a rare talent, and it's not a bad thing to be able to show off your ambition."

Feng Suzhen combed her hair with a smile, but added in her heart, Feng Nanshi should have come to Beijing, and he brought you back.

"Why didn't you meet Ah Jing when you came back?" Feng Suzhen looked at her and asked the question that had been buried for a long time.

"Because I'm still not sure if he's really as bad as the rumors say, sometimes when I get anxious, I think that if that kid is really that bad, I'll simply leave here and never bother with him again. From now on, I'll find you. "

After saying that, he smiled foolishly again, "However, fortunately, I didn't, otherwise I don't know when we can see each other. Then how do you know it's me?"

"By guessing and intuition, in the past three years, I have never felt that you are so close to me like this time. I can feel that you are in the capital."

Tianxiang smiled, then relaxed her body, leaned down on her legs, closed her eyes, "I'm so sleepy, let me sleep on my back for a while."

"it is good."

"Are you sleeping?"

"I am not sleepy."

"Well……"

She seemed to be extremely sleepy, and she lazily responded and fell into a deep sleep.

Feng Suzhen covered her with her robe, wrapped her tightly, and then looked down at her, concentrating and fascinated.

Feng Suzhen knew about it. Regarding the past three years, Tianxiang said lightly that she didn't want to tell Feng Suzhen about the hardships she had suffered, and she didn't want her to feel sad and blame herself.

But it is the two ends of life that separate each other into a shore.

☆, mid-autumn night

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is very round, and for some people, it is finally unnecessary to travel thousands of miles away.

Feng Suzhen looked at the person on the opposite side who didn't know how many mooncakes she put into her mouth, and finally frowned and raised her hand to take off the mooncake she took a bite of and put it back on the plate, and said helplessly, "Who would eat mooncakes as a meal?" ?”

"How can anyone make such delicious mooncakes?" Princess Tianxiang asked with a rascal smile.

Feng Suzhen's eyes were full of tenderness, she smiled and filled tea for her and handed it over, "Well... next time I will remember to put less honey and fruit puree."

Hearing that, the man immediately glared at her dissatisfied, "You..."

Feng Suzhen shook her head with a smile, took her hand and put it on her lips and kissed it softly, her tone was gentle, her eyes were fond of "I have no other wish, I just hope you are well, Tianxiang, can you do it?"

Feng Suzhen looked at Tianxiang economically, no one else could have eyes as beautiful as hers, there was tenderness like water belonging to a woman in them, but there was firmness and cherishment in them, so attractive and involved in the heart, Tianxiang was in such a situation I saw my reddish face and happy smile in my eyes, then nodded lightly, and replied, "I can."

No one understands the importance of life better than her, and no one understands how good it is to live better than her.

Feng Suzhen pinched her palm lightly, in return for her soothing smile.

Three years later, there were countless gaps between the two of them.

Even if you love deeply, you are often powerless.

There is a wound in my heart, which has scabbed over, but still hurts.

When Feng Suzhen went back that day, she didn't tell Dongfang Jing that the person she met was Tianxiang. This was Tianxiang's request. She didn't ask, but silently agreed.

But in fact, she was very willing in her heart.

Some people think that Tianxiang died three years ago, so now she is at least missed, she doesn't have to be burdened, doesn't have to be calculated, and she isn't coveted by anyone, she just belongs to her alone.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, she specially learned how to make mooncakes from Susu. Although she knew that eating too much sweets was bad for her health, she couldn’t help but deliberately mixed honey when she thought of the man’s satisfied face when facing the sweets. and purees.

Before going out, Xiao Xiangyi grabbed the corner of her clothes, and the little girl looked aggrieved, "Will Daddy not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with us?"

Feng Suzhen touched her head, her tone was gentle, "Xiangyi is with uncle, daddy... go to accompany someone."

"Who? More important than Xiangyi?"

Thinking of this, Feng Suzhen couldn't help but smiled and looked down at the person who was leaning on her shoulder looking at the full moon in the sky. After thinking for a moment, she said slowly, "Tianxiang, I almost brought someone with me before I went out."

Tianxiang snorted lightly, without much reaction.

Feng Suzhen's eyes were soft, and she guessed that she must have thought that she was talking about Dongfang Jing so she reacted this way, "When I turned back that year, she was being held tightly by someone, and she struggled fiercely and desperately. , the person holding her was covered with bloodstains from her claws, and the deep tooth marks on the wrist kept oozing blood..."

Tianxiang's figure trembled, and her eyes moved back from the sky to Feng Suzhen's face, and a stubborn and immature face was reflected in her mind, "I was so desperate at that time that I was about to give up, but when I looked at her, Knowing that you named her and accepted her as a daughter, I suddenly felt that I should live. I should live, even she was angry and sad because of you, why did I think of despair first, I told myself that you had waited for me for four years, and I should have waited for you for at least four years. So I entrusted her to Ah Jing and then went to deal with some things and then returned to her. I have been nurturing her with all my heart for the past three years. Tianxiang, our daughter Xiangyi, she is smart and cute, she can already speak fluently, she reads a lot of books, loves sweets like you, she is well-behaved and sensible. How about you? Do you still remember her?"

Tianxiang's eyes were red, and she nodded with a smile, "I remember. At that time, I was very unwilling, and I was afraid that I would die like that, leaving nothing behind. The way she cared and attached so much made me feel very satisfied and felt At that moment, I was really needed. So I wanted to leave her a rich life, so I simply recognized her as my daughter. Listening to you, I feel very guilty. I have never paid her anything, and it is considered a white confession. lost this daughter."

She didn't say that she was selfish at that time, she seemed to expect that Feng Suzhen would come back, so she left this child behind, she wanted Feng Suzhen to live, and she also wanted Feng Suzhen to never forget her and remember her in her life, she also played tricks in love Be so careful.

That's why she named the child Feng Xiangyi, connecting her and Feng Suzhen.

"Have a chance, how about meeting her, she already wanted to call you."

Tianxiang rubbed her arms hard and nodded.

After eating moon cakes, admiring the moon, and visiting the market, Feng Suzhen sent Tianxiang to the door of Shangshu's mansion.

"Whenever this happens, I feel that our current status is very bad."

Tianxiang couldn't help laughing when she heard her say this, but her heart was full of sweetness, she couldn't help kissing her cheek lightly, and whispered in her ear, "Goodbye, Feng Suzhen."

Feng Suzhen watched the back of her briskly going all the way in, and raised her hand to lightly brush her cheek, where there still seemed to be the residual warmth of her lips. When she raised her eyes, the moon in the sky was like a jade plate, which was extraordinarily beautiful.Close your eyes and read softly: "I wish you a long life."

Shangshu Mansion was extremely lively that night.

The top three in the new department gathered together to enjoy the moon and chat.

When seeing Liu Qingyan again, Tianxiang almost forgot about this man who had met several times in Suzhou.

The man stood up and looked at her sideways, making her slightly embarrassed.

She is not unfamiliar with that look at all, Zhang Shaomin has had it before, and Yi Jian Piao Hong has also had it before.

"smell……"

"Brother Qingyan, this is my sister-in-law."

Liu Qingyan was in a trance that night, he could no longer recite poems or eulogies, his mind was full of thinking about the smiling woman who suddenly appeared in front of him.

Three years had passed, but they finally met again.She is much lighter, but it seems to be more exciting.

Tianxiang held her head, smiled and listened to the chat of the three, and remembered the time when she was a girl, Feng Suzhen, Li Zhaoting, and Liu Changying a long time ago.

At that time, they often chatted together without saying a word. Has the youth who didn't know the feeling of sorrow gone away after all?

So sad.

But she didn't care who Liu Qingyan was, nor did she care how he looked at her.She was able to reject it outright three years ago, so naturally she doesn't mind ignoring it more thoroughly three years later.

She sometimes laughs at herself, and she becomes more and more narrow and stingy in front of her feelings, and she is reluctant to pay more attention to irrelevant people.

☆, old friends

In the Mingyue Tower, singing and dancing are still extravagant, and laughter and cursing are endless.

The man in the room sat quietly on the wheelchair with his back to the woman behind him.

The woman lowered her head, looking respectful.

"Is there any news from the palace?"

"Mr. Hui, someone reported five days ago that the Dongli Kingdom's mission will arrive in the imperial city tomorrow."

"Dongli Kingdom has been keeping a low profile these years. It is no longer a small and weak country in the past. Every time it causes countless disturbances in the southeast coastal area, it will not be a good thing to come this time."

"It is said that the princess of Dongli Kingdom is among the people who came here."

The man turned the wheelchair and turned around. A face became clear in the candlelight. His handsome face was thin and his eye sockets were sunken. His eyes were like stagnant water in a dry pool. It was Li Zhaoting who had just arrived in the capital. "There are many women in Dongli country, but few men. She has always been the head of the women's party. The queen of Dongli is deeply loved by the queen. I think it's a good show this time." After speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, revealing a cold smile Meaning, "Send a message to the palace, let her blow the pillow, I want this princess Dongli to come and go."

"Yes."

The woman responded respectfully.

"Is there something unusual about Dongfangjing recently?"

"It's not unusual, it's just that someone came to make trouble not long ago, and he hasn't been here for a long time since then."

The man smiled mockingly when he heard the words, "What? Feeling chilled?"

"My subordinates dare not."

He snorted coldly, "Yan Yu, you should know that everything is just a show."

The woman lowered her head even lower, "Subordinates, remember."

How could you not know?That person was just pretending to be with her all over again, seemingly licentious, but had he ever really gone out of line?

After all, everyone was playing tricks, and he pretended to be an extravagant, lustful and inactive person, and she pretended to pander to him, but after all, they were all too sober, and no one really fell into it.

Li Zhaoting seemed to have remembered something, looked up at the candlelight, his eyes became distant, and after a while he closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired, let's go down."

"Yes."

After the door was closed, he opened his eyes with a painful expression, "Suzhen, do you really think you can keep him? Hehe, the more you care about him, the more I can't let him go."

Li Zhaoting, this man, at some point, he has changed himself beyond recognition.His hands have already been stained with blood, his mind is full of calculations, his heart is full of hatred, and his life is full of pain...

He is so hateful and pitiful.

He also dreamed back at midnight, thinking of the past boyhood, the beauty and nostalgia that he and Feng Suzhen used to be in love with each other, and the frank friendship with others, and the youthful and frivolous but extremely candid.

In the dream, he was in good health, rich and handsome, with an open mind.

He said, Suzhen, let's get married.

Feng Suzhen was laughing all the time, at first the smile was gentle and reminiscent, then it changed a little bit, turned into sarcasm, turned into sneer, became full of hatred and hatred.

He woke up covered in cold sweat, shivering from the cold, Feng Suzhen's last resentful and ferocious face could not be shaken off in his mind.

He violently tore off the tablecloth, and all the tea sets and candle holders fell to the ground. He was angry and crazy, "Hahaha...why do you hate me, she should die, she should die, hahaha..."

He beat his already unconscious legs hard, his nails pierced into the flesh, and blood flowed out between his fingers, but his eyes were scarlet, and he could no longer feel the pain.

The door was kicked open vigorously, someone quickly came to him, grabbed his crazy hands, and said in a sad tone, "Zhao Ting, calm down."

The man hugged his waving arms to stop him from hurting himself further. Finally, he had no strength left. He lowered his head, his face was pale, his eyes lost focus, and he could only mutter, "I hate her, I hate Feng Suzhen, I hate myself, I hate ..."

"I know." The man clasped his trembling hands tightly and comforted him in a deep voice.

The candlelight reflected his handsome side face, time flies, the gentle prime minister in the past is now a calm and restrained mature man, there is no immaturity and timidity on his face, but a bottomless calmness and self-control.

Time is what transforms people the most.

Liu Changying and Li Zhaoting are back, back to the capital city that gave them countless years of youth, those pains, those glory, those good and bad, finally have to face again.

But there is no longer a little princess who walks through the streets and alleys with sugarcane as a teenager, and there is no more female consort who is as versatile as a man in civil and military skills.

They are still them, but they are no longer what they used to be.

Live now, but for hatred.

——Boundary——

Feng Nanshi looked at the person on the opposite side who fell down and then quickly rolled up, rolled his eyes weakly, and simply lay down on the table waiting for her to decide which step to take.

"So the court is now divided into three factions. One is the neutral party headed by Zhang Shaomin. Most of these people are former ministers but have no real power; the other is the people headed by General Zhu Ke. These people think they have made great contributions. , acting vigorously and resolutely, arrogantly and domineeringly; there is another faction that is the most interesting, and they are all local officials newly promoted from the local area. These people are headed by Du Qin. Lord Shangshu, which faction do you want to vote for?"

Feng Nanshi looked at the chess pieces that finally landed on the chessboard, and said with some resentment, "What did that man teach you? Why did you know the overall situation of the court and China after only a few days of reunion, and came to deceive me when you came back. "

Tianxiang shook her head and said with a smile, "She wouldn't tell me these things. That person doesn't want me to interfere in these matters. Every time I want to ask her, I always change the topic. I'm just wandering around the city these days. Asked around."

Feng Nanshi pursed his lips, "Look, whenever we talk about her, he just laughs. How could he laugh so much in the past few years, and he still looks so stupid."

Tianxiang glared at him, then picked up the piece that she had eaten, a little proud, "I'm called love as deep as the sea."

Feng Nanshi shook his head, "I'm not reserved." Then he turned closer with a look of interest, "You let me see you, you were so injured at that time, the doctor said that there was no way to recover, and you insisted on supporting that person After coming over, I have been curious about what kind of person you are in your heart, and it is worthy of you."

Tianxiang glanced at him lazily, "Who made me worse when I was dying?"

Feng Nanshi immediately felt wronged, smiled ashamedly, and rubbed his nose, "Good girl, what are you doing with these old things? Tell me, whoever you want me to rely on, I will listen to you. Anyway, now that I have achieved fame, my wife will Beg for it, nothing else is a big deal, you just need to pay, and the elder brother will definitely do his best for you."

Knowing that he has been guilty of the past, Tianxiang patted him on the shoulder with a relieved smile, "Brother Feng, the official career is yours, so don't worry about me. My family said it usefully, the way of heaven is impermanent, why bother yourself, many things go with the flow Naturally better."

"Your family is useful, but you can see it." Seeing Tianxiang nodding with his boastful expression, he couldn't help but added angrily, "I just don't know if she knows that a certain second-ranking adult has seen my sister's face since he saw my sister's face." Will you still see it like this after Riri comes to the door?"

"You are not allowed to talk nonsense."

"Where am I talking nonsense, I almost melted into the eyes of Brother Qingyan looking at you, your sister-in-law told me yesterday that he is a good match for you... Hey, what did you do to me, gentleman It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Xiang Junya came out of the house holding the soup and saw the two arguing, she was already used to it, and greeted with a smile, "Stop it, you don't look like an adult like this."

"Sister-in-law, take care of him, a man has a woman's mouth."

"Okay, Tianxiang, come and drink the medicine, or you will get cold and hurt your stomach."

"Is there any sugar today?"

Tianxiang's children usually leaned over and asked eagerly.

"I didn't prepare it, but someone sent it."

Feng Nanshi asked first, "Master Liu sent it."

Tianxiang glared at him fiercely.

Xiang Junya gave him a reproachful look, and said with a smile, "It was sent by a gentleman surnamed Feng. He said that he knew that there was a greedy girl living in our house, so he specially sent it to Xiaona."

"Hmm... I don't know what this greedy girl thinks?" Feng Nanshi approached and asked with a smile.

Tianxiang raised her chin, "Hmph, I never thought she would learn how to please people in the past three years. What kind of candy?"

"Actually, it's the sweet fruit cake."

Hearing this, Tian Xiang almost spat out the medicine she just drank, with a dissatisfied expression on her face, "This Feng, is really so stubborn!"

She had eaten that fruit cake three years ago, and it was bland and tasteless.

"Xiang'er, I heard from my father since I was a child that eating fruit before going to bed every day is the most healthy, but it hurts the stomach and fills the stomach. If you switch to fruit cakes, you don't have to worry about such problems at all, which is good for your health. Don't worry about eating too much and gaining weight. You are a caring person."

Tian Xiang smiled sweetly at Xiang Junya when she heard the words, "Then, I will reluctantly accept it."

Anping Palace.

Feng Xiangyi put down the brush and turned her head to see Feng Suzhen who was sitting at the desk, still carefully flipping through the book in her hand.

The little girl frowned, a little confused.

Dad always goes out secretly recently, and he smiles more, seems to be much gentler than before.

But what did she do when she went out?Who did you meet?

Could it be that she has forgotten her mother and is no longer sad for her?

Mother... that person, she witnessed her being thrown into the abyss three years ago.

She once combed her hair, bathed her, and hugged her to sleep. Although she was not very gentle, she treated her very well.

She always wanted to call her mother.

"Daddy."

"how?"

"Did you forget mother?"

Feng Suzhen was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied with a smile, "No, Xiangyi."

Feng Xiangyi nodded, showing a relaxed expression.

Feng Suzhen looked at her thoughtfully, and finally patted her head, "Okay, go to bed early."

"Ok!"

Feng Xiangyi hoped to see her in her dream, after all, it has been three years and she almost can't remember her appearance.

☆, Princess of Dongli Kingdom

The imperial city is majestic, and the resplendent palace corridors intersect.Once upon a time, there was a tough woman who refused to give in to her fate. She brewed refreshing chrysanthemum tea. The emperor favored her and broke her wings of pursuit.

There is no Concubine Ju, and now there is Concubine Mei.

The plum and bamboo hall is luxurious and exquisite, and the food and clothing are all the best in the palace, and the plum trees in the garden are full of vitality.

The woman has a slim figure, and the autumn wind blows her excellent silk and satin palace attire.

She always personally prunes, waters and fertilizes hundreds of plum trees.

The green branches and leaves between her white and moist fingers set off each other, forming an indescribable beauty.

The two little maids stood aside and handed her the things she needed, their eyes full of admiration, "The emperor loves plum and bamboo very much. With the empress taking care of it personally, the plum blossoms here are always the best in the palace every year."

"Even without these, with His Majesty's love for our empress..."

"What time is it now?" Interrupting the maid's words, she turned around. In the morning light, those eyes were particularly attractive.

Concubine Mei is not the most beautiful woman in the palace, there are countless beauties in the harem, but she is just above average.

But perhaps it was this appearance that His Majesty loved.

Her eyes are bright, her skin is fair, her chin is small, and she is gentle and approachable when she smiles slightly.

"Go back to empress, there are still two hours before His Majesty will come down, but today it is said that the Dongli Kingdom mission is here, so it will take a little longer." The little girl thought she was saying the answer that Concubine Mei was most concerned about.

Concubine Mei just nodded, and said calmly, "Your Majesty came here and said that I'm not feeling well, so I can't see you."

"My lady..."

"Take these away."

The two little maids looked at each other with puzzled faces.

Concubine Mei is always like this, she can be hot and cold towards His Majesty, she can't see her when she thinks about it.

His Majesty the Emperor who came down to the imperial court really had a closed door, but he probably loved the Concubine Mei too much. Even though she offended Longyan so much, he just nodded with a smile, "Then ask your mother to rest and recuperate. come over."

He seems to be in a good mood.

——Boundary——

Anping Palace.

King Anping's impatience was on his face. He looked at the great god sitting in front of him, feeling quite bored.

Yu Wenxiu, the emperor's daughter of Dongli Kingdom, is a beautiful woman, but arrogant and domineering, with a delicate face full of disdain, as if humming disdain from her nostrils.

"I said King Ping An, you..."

"Are you a pig? This king is [King Anping], not some [King Peace]!"

A trace of surprise flashed across Yu Wenxiu's eyes, but she quickly recovered, and smiled playfully, "Isn't it the same meaning, but then again, why don't you continue to pretend to be respectful like a puppy just now?"

Dongfang Jing looked up at the venomous princess sarcastically, and sneered, "His Royal Highness has never heard a saying that people talk to people, hell..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you Daqi people are indeed so duplicity."

"Don't talk about how upright you people in the small country of Dongli are."

"Hey." Her Royal Highness didn't care about his hostility, jumped up to him and grabbed his arm, with a look of excitement, "Hey, take me out to visit Daqi's capital, I saw it in the carriage when I came. , it's lively!"

Dongfang Jing broke free from her in disgust, and frowned, "There are so many officials and princes in Daqi, why do you insist on coming to live in my house?"

The little girl played with a strand of her hair, "Because you are the closest to me in age, and can't you tell? Your Majesty the Emperor is also very happy for me to live in your house."

"Hehe..." Dongfang Jing sneered a few times, "Your Highness, you are really observant."

Yu Wenxiu didn't hear what he said clearly, because she had already walked outside the door, stretched her arms, relaxed and natural, as if she was the owner of the mansion, turned her eyes, and a small pink figure appeared inadvertently. "Dongfang Jing, is that little doll your child?"

Dongfang Jing glanced at her, didn't bother to return her, walked straight to the little figure, and squatted down in front of her, only to find that the little girl was concentrating on looking at the swarms of moving ants on the ground, he smiled and stroked her hair, "Lost son Have you finished reading all the books for today?"

"When did uncle come?" The little girl was so focused that she fell down in fright. Fortunately, Dongfang Jing opened her arms in time to let her fall into his arms.

"Where is the master?"

"out."

"Why so sullen, uncle is going out to play, do you want to come together?"

"Yes, please, uncle quickly take me with you."

"it is good!"

Dongfang Jing took the little man and walked past Yu Wenxiu with a funny face, "Let's go, Your Highness, to see our bustling capital city of Daqi."

The foot of the emperor is naturally very lively, and the market is full of people.

There are two people walking hand in hand among the crowd, their backs are moving and harmonious, just like all the most ordinary couples.

Tianxiang looked sideways at the person beside her, squinting her eyes slightly to look at her with a contented expression, her handsome side face was soft and warm under the sunlight.

They looked at each other unexpectedly and smiled back at each other.

It's so ordinary, but so gentle that it makes people want to cry.

Long ago, this scene only appeared in dreams.

Feng Suzhen squeezed the hand in her palm, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"

Tianxiang rolled her eyes weakly when she heard the words, although she knew that this person loved her dearly, but she had only walked a short distance, how could she be so tired? , his eyes inadvertently touched the shooting stall on the front street, his brows and eyes were stained with an excited smile, and he dragged Feng Suzhen to suggest, "Let's go over there."

The stall was surrounded by a small area, and three archery targets were placed. Arrows and various exquisite objects were placed on the stall within ten steps away, and the different rewards were displayed on the stalls.

The stall was set up by an uncle with beards and a loud voice. Seeing Feng Suzhen and the two arrived at the stall, he stood up and greeted him enthusiastically, "My lord, let's shoot arrows. Ten cents and five arrows will help you My wife won the prize!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Feng Suzhen's face when she heard the words, but Tianxiang looked at her with interest, her eyes were playful, and then she asked with a smile, "Husband, what do you think?"

Feng Suzhen's face was already dyed red, but she was helpless, looking at her dotingly, "What do you want?"

Tianxiang looked at the objects on display, with a flat expression on her face, she was used to seeing all kinds of strange things since she was a child, and nothing of these objects could catch her eyes, but when she thought of her purpose, she became satisfied. He pointed at the small wooden box on top of the pile provocatively and said, "Of course I want the best, but I don't know if my husband shot the red heart?"

Feng Suzhen nodded, took out ten coins from the embroidery and handed it to the stall owner, then walked to the designated position, picked up the bow, and the stall owner handed her an arrow, she turned her head and looked at the stall owner standing aside.
