New·New Consort

I don't know how long Tianxiang spent in the chaos.

She thought for a long time in the abyss of consciousness, and couldn't stop recalling the little things she had with Feng Suzhen, the anecdotes she told, the scenery she had seen together, and the plays she had heard together.

In a daze, I realized that I already had so many memories with that person.

So far, even if it is a dream, it is worth it...

No, not satisfied.

Even though there are so many pasts, it is still hard to satisfy.

I still want to, I still want to create more newer and more interesting life experiences with that person...

All of a sudden, she loosened her consciousness, all five senses were connected, a sense of astringency welled up in her throat, her lips were covered with a different kind of soft feeling, as if some liquid had been forcibly poured in.

In confusion, the mist in front of her eyes lit up, and she saw a face that was close at hand.

Her heart skipped a beat as she realized what had happened: someone had given her the medicine by mouth.

Thinking of what she had seen before, she couldn't help feeling a little hopeful, is, is it you?

But the flame in her heart dimmed in an instant——

"Huh, it's okay, the Eldest Princess finally took the medicine." Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the liquid medicine from Tianxiang's lips with a silk handkerchief, and then wiped the corners of his own mouth, "Tianer, Take the medicine bowl away, and I will continue to give acupuncture to the Eldest Princess."

Sweetie?

Could it be that Li Tian is also here?

She tried to see Li Tian's appearance clearly, but she was lying down and unable to move, so she couldn't see where the child was at all. She could only see through the gaps in her eyelids that Li Xiang was unbuttoning her clothes, The silver needles were twisted on his body.

Is she actually at the mercy of others... Tianxiang's heart is full of melancholy.

"Sister, when will the Eldest Princess wake up?" A childish voice rang out.

"I don't know... Maybe, I will never wake up..."

"How come? Elder sister's medical skills are the most powerful! Didn't brother Rui say that the eldest princess opened her eyes the day before yesterday?"

"The emperor's visit that day only aroused her consciousness suddenly, but her body did not wake up. Tian'er, although I am a doctor, a doctor can only treat illnesses, but not save lives," Li Xiang shook heavily. Shaking her head, "Her body has reached its limit, and her consciousness has sunk into the void. All I have done is to preserve her body and delay her life."

"If that's the case, why do you still treat her so hard?" Li Tian was very puzzled.

"Tian'er, everyone is going to die. Just because of this, I can't give up all my efforts and work hard. I may not be able to change the fate, but as a doctor, I should do my best to save her."

Li Tian's voice came closer, and Tianxiang saw a hairy head: "Sister, this person is a princess, she must be very powerful, right?"

Li Xiang moved that head away a bit: "What's so great about it? A princess or a commoner is just a mortal body. You sit obediently and don't move around."

But Li Tian still couldn't help being curious: "Sister, what's her name?"

Li Xiang replied: "The eldest princess is titled Jingci, but I don't know what respect and taboo are."

Li Tian was puzzled: "What is Jingci? Isn't it a name?"

Li Xiang laughed: "No, this is the title—you sit down, I have a copy of "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu" in my medicine cabinet, you can read it first. After the diagnosis and treatment are over, my sister will take you to the store for snacks .”

The furry head tilted and disappeared from view.

Li Xiang twisted, twirled, stabbed and vented on Tianxiang's body. He was busy for more than half an hour before he finished the treatment.She breathed a sigh of relief, slowly pulled out the silver needles one by one, and leaned back on the chair to rest.

She casually turned her head to the side, and suddenly smiled: "You little sleepy, how can you fall asleep after reading this book?" She got up and left Tianxiang's sight, and a voice sounded from a little distance away: "You have been in the past few days You are all staying with me in Miaozhou mansion, but you are not used to sleeping? My father sent someone to pick me up several times, why don't you go back to the mansion?"

It turns out that this is the Miaozhou government office?Tianxiang was a little surprised, but turned the corner after a second thought. Her body could not withstand the bumps of the journey, and there was no palace here, so naturally she could only be placed in the Yamen of Miaozhou...

That being the case, could it be, could it be that this was Feng Suzhen's boudoir when she was young?

Tianxiang was in a trance.

Li Tian's childish voice was still full of ignorance and coquettishness of waking up: "Well...don't...I slept pretty well here," she yawned, "By the way, sister, I think this second state government The layout of the scenery here is very friendly.”

Li Xiangqi said: "What is the layout of the scenery? Aren't they all flowers and plants in the garden, and indoor gold and stones?"

Li Tian said: "My sister has only been married for a few years, don't you remember what the garden at home is like?"

Tianxiang also seriously recalled the appearance of Li's garden, but she couldn't remember it.The only time she stepped into the Li Mansion was because of Feng Suzhen's death, her heart and soul were shattered, so she didn't pay attention to the layout of the garden.

Li Xiang let out a "huh" as if he had thought of something, but he didn't pay much attention to it: "Well... maybe my father has been to the Miaozhou government office before, and he thinks this layout is suitable for Feng Shui, and it can benefit the descendants of his family, so he copied it. "

"Oh..." Li Tian didn't get too tangled up, but lowered her voice, "Sister, our whole family is blessed, but I am the only one who is unlucky."

The childish voice said such old-fashioned words, Tianxiang felt sore in her heart, and couldn't help regretting: I have been ignoring Feng Suzhen's two daughters because of my hatred for Li Zhaoting in the past ten years, is it too unfeeling?

"You silly boy, what are you thinking about?" Li Xiang was startled, and then angrily said, "Did someone in the family talk nonsense to you?"

Li Tian remained silent for a while.

Li Xiang was distressed and angry at the same time: "Tian'er, just tell me if you have been wronged. Although I have left the cabinet, I am still the eldest daughter of the Li family and the former wife of the family. If someone bullies you, I will Absolutely will not spare him!"

"No... elder sister... no one in my family dares to bully me, yes... yes..." Li Tian hesitated, "When my aunt gave birth to my first brother, I was still young and didn't know anything. Later, when my stepmother gave birth to my second brother , cried for a long time, and a lot of blood came out of the room. I just realized that it turns out that giving birth is so painful..."

"But Wen Po said that the stepmother had a smooth birth and didn't suffer too much...I couldn't help but think of my mother...Our mother, she, she died of dystocia..." As he spoke, Li Tian's voice With a crying voice, "Sister, I was the one who killed my mother... If it wasn't for me, my mother would not have had dystocia, nor would she have died." After the words fell, it had completely turned into sobbing.

Li Xiang's voice was also choked with sobs: "You silly boy, why didn't you come to me these two months and tell me, what are you thinking about alone?!"

The two sisters cried in a muffled voice, crying until Tianxiang felt her unconscious body and eyes ache, and the autumn-colored bed curtain in front of her eyes was also covered with layers of water mist.

Li Xiang's voice sounded again: "Okay, okay, let's stop crying. Tian'er, don't blame yourself. It was my mother's choice to bring you into this world."

She paused, concealed the remaining sad emotions, and said in a serious voice: "Before I went out, you were still young, and you rarely talked about your mother. And my father is a man of dumb words, and I'm afraid he wouldn't know what to say. Let me tell you. Now that you are ten years old and the governor, I will tell you."

Li Tian sobbed and hummed.

Tianxiang couldn't help pricking up her ears to listen carefully, she was really curious about what kind of life Feng Suzhen lived outside of the shopping mall during the ten years when she didn't meet each other in her previous life.

Li Xiang began to speak slowly: "When I was young, my mother always said that I was too calm. It would be better if I was more active and lively. Later, she saw that my temper had settled down, and she joked that it seems that I can only Another one. However, since she gave birth to me, she has not been able to conceive again. Until the spring of that year, she went to Dule Temple to pray for blessings, and when she came back, she diagnosed a happy pulse. Mother was so happy that she asked Dule Le Si donated [-] gold."

Tianxiang thought, sure enough, Feng Suzhen really likes children...

"My mother has long known that she is not easy to bear children. Since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, the doctor even said it was dangerous, and even her father advised her not to force it. But the mother said, 'The fetus in the womb is a life, it is its own. The idea of ​​giving birth and my desire to be a mother fit together, so it fell into me and fulfilled the contract of mother-child kinship. Since it came as promised, how could I easily break the promise?' Father and I did not agree Again, let the mother put down all the affairs at hand and raise the baby with peace of mind."

The contract...Feng Suzhen, do you think so about the relationship between parents and children?You are so serious about righteousness and promise, even if you are in danger of your life, aren't you afraid?

"Since I was pregnant with you, my mother has been very happy every day, and she will definitely give birth to a lively child. Tian'er, if my mother knows that you have taken these unfounded charges on yourself, I don't know how much she will feel distressed... "

Li Xiang originally wanted to relieve Li Tian's guilt, but she cried even more fiercely when she didn't want to: "It's because I am so unlucky and tired that my mother is unfortunate. I reincarnated randomly, and my mother died to give birth to me What else is my name Li Tian, ​​I am obviously a bitter person! Don’t ordinary people say that a humble name is easy to support? I should just change my name to Li Ku.”

Li Xiang was very sad at first, but he was suddenly amused by his sister's words: "Silly boy, don't change your name blindly."

She straightened her thoughts and explained earnestly: "Your name was decided by my mother before she died, but she had thought about it for a long time. At that time, my mother was raising a baby at home. I searched Shuowen, Posthumous Posthumous Fa, and The Book of Songs to find a name that suits my heart."

"Because my name is Xiang, which means farming in "Shuowen". My mother said that if it is a boy, it will be called Li Tian, ​​and it is a hunter. My father laughed at the time and said that my mother is really full of fishing Woodcutter plowing and hunting. I asked at the time, what would you call a younger sister?"

"My mother told me with a smile at the time that if it was a daughter, it would be called Li Tian, ​​with a sweet tongue. My father thought it was bad at the time and said it was a bit vulgar, so the name has not been decided yet."

"When you were born, you were asleep, and the mother-in-law held you upside down and beat you to tears. The crying was so loud that you could be heard outside the house. My mother spent a day and a night giving birth to you, exhausted her strength, but still It was struggling to hug you. She looked at you and said with a smile: "I want to beat you up. I spent so long for you, but you slept happily." , who can turn the Tongtian Aperture ", since she was born in sleep, and she looks so suitable for anger and happiness, it should be called sweet.'"

"Sweetness in the pillow and dawn, who can turn the Tongtian Aperture..." Li Tian repeated, "Sister, what does this mean?"

Li Xiang pondered for a long time, as if recalling the distant past: "I was young at the time, and I didn't understand what it meant. Later, after my mother passed away, my father mourned too much and couldn't manage. I went to sort out my mother's belongings. I found a copy of "Handan Ji" beside her pillow."

"The opening title of that book is a song "The Pride of the Fisherman", 'A pillow is sweet and faint and dawn. Who can turn it to the sky. It's still early when the day is wrong. Turn around and smile. Pass Handan Road in a hurry.' "Li Xiang smiled, "Sweet here means sleeping, so, mother's name is correct, you are really a little sleepy!" As she spoke, she tapped Li Tian's forehead.

Li Tian suddenly realized: "It turns out that my name came from here! Sister, what is the 'Stupid, Stupid Story' about? I want to see it!"

"It's Handan on Handan Road..." Li Xiang smiled helplessly, "This Handan Story is about the story of Huangliang Yimeng. You may not understand it now."

"I don't understand, sister, you can tell me!"

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Everyone will come to their own opinion after reading this book. I won't tell you first, after you read it, tell me yourself."

She paused for a moment, then said softly: "Tian'er, I have told you so much, just to tell you that every step in life is a choice, and the result may be good or bad. Maybe it is good for you but bad for others. The only sure and clear consequence is this: Mortals."

"My mother knew her physical condition, but she still made a choice. She was prepared for the possible bad results. But life is like fighting against Shuanglu. No matter how good your calculations are, you may end up You will lose to luck. Some sufferings cannot be avoided or avoided no matter how hard you try.”

"There are always some sufferings and frustrations in life. No one has a smooth and happy life. But we can't be afraid because of guilt and fear..."

"This life is like a long or short dream. Your sorrows and joys, gains and losses, rich and poor, honor and disgrace are just your whole life. No one can be sure whether you are blessed or not, and no one is qualified Evaluate your mother's luck or misfortune. The only people who are qualified to judge you and your mother are you yourself."

"Don't be tied down by the past, and don't be afraid of the future. You just need to remember that you came into this world with the love of your mother. It is a pity that she owed you life, but she didn't have time to raise her. But it's not worth regretting for the rest of your life, because there will be other people in your life who will accompany you longer."

"All you can do is live your life the way you like."

The two sisters over there were still chatting slowly, but no one noticed that Tianxiang's face over here was already full of tears.

Suddenly, the light in front of her eyes disappeared again, and the whole person sank into chaos as before.

After repeated several times, her eyes became bright and dark, dark and bright again, she vaguely saw the figures of Prince Rui, Nian Zhu and other nephews and nieces.

Finally, she fell into the silent and silent darkness, and her eyes never lit up again.

She still remembers the last scene she saw, the faces of panic or sadness, and the last noise she heard, which was crying.

She finally realized that she was indeed in a dream.

However, that dream was her previous life.

She dreamed of her previous life, but she didn't dream of her domineering teenager, nor of her vicissitudes and solemn middle age, but just dreamed of the period from the onset of her illness to her death.

In her previous life, the Eldest Princess Jingci was still unconscious when she was in a coma. She saw the fleeting images and heard the few words around her.

Even if she couldn't see or hear it completely, she used her own ideas to complete those scenes.

But her body was no longer good, and she recovered her consciousness several times because of Li Xiang's rescue, but somehow, she was still a little bit short, and it was difficult to wake up completely.

I can only let the "sweetness in the pillow and the dawn" be like a deep sleep until the end of life.

After being reborn, she only remembered that she fell in front of the white jade tombstone, completely forgetting this memory.

It's like having a wonderful dream. When I wake up, I only remember the thrilling, but completely forget the content.

And the several times of turmoil since listening to the play before was also because the name Li Xiang disturbed the memory that sank into the depths of her mind, causing her to fall into chaos.

Was her previous life really a dream?Who gave her such a dream?Let her add 20 years of past?

How did this dream start?

No, this is not the key, the most important thing is, how should this dream end?

How should she end this dream, return to her present world, the present world where Feng Suzhen exists...

In Princess Tianxiang's bedroom, dozens of candles were lit, illuminating the whole room very brightly.

Feng Suzhen blinked twice, picked up a handful of cold water from the copper basin, and splashed it on her face.

The cold water eased the soreness of her eyes and the sleepiness of her spirit. She stared blankly at the dark blue sky outside the window, and heard a cock crow.

It was almost dawn, the long night was coming to an end, and the dark blue of the sky was about to turn into indigo.

But Tianxiang hasn't woken up yet.

She talked to Tianxiang all night, read books all night, and even hugged Xiaohua to talk to Tianxiang, but Tianxiang still didn't wake up.

Her throat has become hoarse, and her face has lost its plump luster. In this room brightly illuminated by candlelight, her whole body is gloomy.

Someone knocked on the door.

Feng Suzhen cleared her throat, and said in a hoarse voice, "Come in."

It was Feng Shaoqing who came in. Seeing Feng Suzhen's slumped and absent-minded appearance, his pity was beyond words: "Su...consort, the princess is still awake?"

Feng Suzhen shook her head, and asked hoarsely, "Old Man Feng, is your throat healed?"

Feng Shaoqing nodded lightly as an answer, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face: "My son-in-law, do you want to take a break...it's almost dawn..."

Feng Suzhen glanced at the bed, and replied without thinking: "No, she's not awake yet, I have to guard her."

Feng Shaoqing gritted her teeth, took a step forward and said in a low voice: "...Then Yuxian already knows about you. If he is not dead, he will definitely tell the emperor. You, have you thought about what to do?"

Feng Suzhen regained some sanity, she heard the implication of Feng Shaoqing's words.

She pursed her lips tightly, and a complicated expression appeared on her face: "Father, the princess's life is hanging by a thread to save me. At this moment, I can't just walk away."

Feng Shaoqing said urgently: "Su'er, I know, I know that the princess treats you with great kindness. Why not? I saved my life only because of the princess! But, I asked I passed the doctor, she said that the princess's life is now up to God's will, and it's not that you can just stay by my side!"

Seeing that Feng Suzhen was unmoved, Feng Shaoqing continued to persuade: "Whether it is because she is a princess or because she is a lifesaver, our family owes her a debt, and we must repay it. Willingly. But, what's the use of you staying here?"

"No!" Feng Suzhen suddenly raised her voice, and her breath became chaotic, "Father, I stay here not because I feel owed, not because of what I can do - yes, I want to stay, I must stay!"

Feng Shaoqing was taken aback: "Why?"

"Because of her, because she is—" Feng Suzhen calmed down and said every word, "She is Tianxiang."

"She is Tianxiang..."

Tian Xiang, who was silent in the darkness, suddenly became psychic, and was dragged into a vast expanse of white light by the familiar voice.

There was a pounding heartbeat in his ears, his breath was full of medicine, his mouth was full of sourness and bitterness, and his eyes were bright red.She returned to the sensual world.

Tianxiang's eyelids trembled wildly on the bed, and her whole body trembled

The two surnamed Feng in the room heard the strange noise on the bed, and turned their heads to look at the bed.

Feng Suzhen stepped to the bed in two or three steps to check on Tianxiang's situation: "Tianxiang, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Shaoqing hurriedly opened the door and went out to look for the doctors who were on standby day and night.

Feng Suzhen noticed that Tianxiang responded to her call, and her spirit was shaken, so she raised her voice and called out her name: "Tianxiang, Tianxiang, Tianxiang!"

The hoarse voice pierced into her ears, crossed the winding path, overwhelmed Tianxiang's pounding heartbeat, and made her tear up a piece of blood red with all her strength, and opened her eyes.

She saw the one she was familiar with, the one and only, Feng Suzhen who was shining brightly by a room of red candles.

The man excitedly called her name repeatedly, one after another.

She suddenly realized that at the end of her previous life, she couldn't wake up for a long time, what was the "little bit" that was missing.

In that dream, she was an aunt, a princess, a relative of the emperor, and a symbol of imperial power.

No one dared to call her name beyond her name and status.

Don't say it was before the sick bed, in the previous life, she hadn't heard the word "Tianxiang" for ten years.

But in this side of the world, she is Tianxiang, she is herself, she is the person who makes Feng Suzhen's clothes untidy, her head untouched by the pillow, and she wants to be pulled back from the border of death with a hoarse voice.

Name, pretentious also.

The room became noisy, with the sound of messy footsteps, it was the servants and doctors rushing in one after another.

Seeing her own image reflected in Tianxiang's weak eyes, Feng Suzhen was ecstatic: "Tianxiang, you're alive, you're alive!" As he spoke, the tears welling up in the corners of his eyes could no longer be controlled , came out one after another.

Tianxiang wanted to say something, but she was too weak, so she could only quietly watch Feng Suzhen's tears falling on her body.

Yes, I was called back by you.
