Loyalty Hou Tiansheng rebellious

There is a separate courtyard at the back of Sanqing Mountain, which is the hermit residence of Li Yan's mother, the former empress.Now she is Li Yan's imperial sister, the place where Princess Changqing practiced - Princess Zhaoyang returned to the capital from the northwest, and when the dust settled, she asked to change her title and prayed for the country on the mountain.

Light snow was still falling, and the snow suddenly crushed the dead branches with a soft click.

There was a broken candle on the table, and Princess Changqing was looking through scriptures by candlelight.She was dressed in plain clothes, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Li Yan's, but her gestures showed endless gentleness.

The little girl sitting opposite took the scissors to cut the candle wick, and persuaded: "Sister, it's late at night, go to sleep."

The little girl is the thirteenth sister of Princess Changqing, only sixteen years old, and her maiden name is Rong.Princess Ruoning was conferred the title of Princess Ruoning years ago, and together with Princess Changqing, she prayed for the country in the other courtyard on the mountain.

Her mother and concubine died young, and her elder brother Li Yu was raised by the concubine.The imperial concubine is domineering, and she and her brother are not getting along well.Later, Li Yuyuan sealed Minzhong and became Prince Shun, so she accompanied Princess Changqing to Sanqing Mountain.

Princess Changqing said: "Arong, if you are tired, go to bed first, I will watch for a while."

Princess Ruoning stood up with a smile: "Then I will make the bed for sister first, and when it is done, sister will come to sleep."

Princess Changqing turned over a page of the book, pressed her fingertips on the old year's ink, and said: "No need, just go and call Xing Zhi'er."

"It's so cold, she's going in and out of the quilt, she's easy to catch cold, I'll do it, it's okay." Princess Ruoning walked to the couch and shook off the folded brocade quilt.

Princess Ruoning knelt on the bed to make the bed, she said casually: "Today I went down the mountain with Xing Zhi'er, and I heard something..."

Listening to her words, it seems that she intends to whet her appetite.

The candlelight flickered on the table, Princess Changqing ignored her, but felt her eyes were sore, so she turned her head and let her eyes go blank, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Princess Ruoning continued on her own: "On the [-]th court, the emperor abolished a prince, and it's the first time this year that he's going to court."

Princess Changqing smiled, walked to the side of the couch to help her make the bed, and joked: "It's not Prince Shun who is useless, what are you so obsessed with?"

"It's the Lord of Loyalty."

Princess Changqing was startled, and asked back, "Loyalty?"

"Yes, the news spread quickly. He didn't go to the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet on the fifteenth night. At that time, there were already some faint signs. As expected, he was abolished on the first sixteenth day."

"What's the reason for that?"

Princess Ruoning whispered a word in her ear, Princess Changqing was startled, her eyes flickered, she suppressed her emotions, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, the emperor has a sense of proportion, you and I can't control it. "

After saying this, she turned her head and blew on the lamp: "Go to sleep."

——Loyalty Hou Chen Hen.

Princess Changqing's fingers wrote these five characters on the brocade quilt, but she was not as calm as she had just turned over the scriptures.

Don't say that other people can't figure out what Li Yan means, even she, the older sister, can't figure out what Li Yan means right now.

Princess Changqing turned over, put her hands on her head, and thought about things quietly.

—— Chen hate.

She and the former crown prince were twins. When the crown prince was free, he often took his younger siblings out of the palace to play.At that time, Chen Hen was just a servant beside the eighth prince, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

Until one time, when she went to Changle Palace to pay her respects to the queen mother, it happened that Li Yan was also there.

My mother is a daughter of a Jiangnan family. After coming to Chang'an, she still misses her hometown Jiangnan.

When she went there, her mother learned that Chen Hen was also from Jiangnan, and she was asking Chen Hen some questions in Jiangnan dialect, and Chen Hen also answered them in Jiangnan dialect.In the end, the queen mother also rewarded him with many things.

Since then, the queen mother often called him to speak.

When the two people from Jiangnan talked, they spoke softly, like a breeze brushing over the tip of one's heart, making one's heart tremble like the tip of a curled lotus leaf.

Not only the mother, but also the eldest brother Huang and Li Yan liked him very much.

At that time, she was younger and more energetic, and she thought that Chen Hen was tactful, had no temper, and had good means, so she didn't like him very much.

Later, when the eldest brother Huang had an accident, his father was furious, and he was questioned in court, and the light in the Yangju hall was lit all night.

In the early morning, when the dust settled, the pavilion followed the holy will, issued several decrees, and sent the eldest brother Huang to prison, and also finalized the matter of her going to the northwest to get married.

She helped her mother back to Changle Palace, and her mother patted her hand and told her that Ah Yan and Chen Hen supported each other and would go on.

She didn't believe it at all then.

Send mother back to Changle Palace, after leaving Changle Palace, she went to Mingcheng Palace.

The waiter said: "I have been to the Yangju Hall with Mr. Chen several times, but Eunuch Gao blocked them back. The two sat on the couch and listened to the sound of rain all night. Just now, Mr. Chen persuaded Mr. Chen to sleep for a while. Grandpa just closed his eyes."

She nodded, and when she pushed the door and went in, it was indeed like this.Chen Hen held Li Yan's hand, and Li Yan was also frowning in his sleep, looking very restless.

Chen Hen turned to see her, and called out in a low voice: "Princess."

Li Yan didn't fall asleep at all, and opened his eyes as soon as he heard the movement: "Sister Huang."

"Yeah." She looked at Li Yan's loose hair and said, "I haven't tied the crown yet, sister Huang will help you."

Yesterday was Li Yan's birthday, he was supposed to put on his crown yesterday, but he was disturbed by a lot of things.

Li Yan still wants to ask something: "Sister Huang..."

She smiled wryly: "What? You dislike the emperor's sister as a girl's family? Don't you deserve to wear a crown for you?"

"No, I just..."

"Emperor Sister will tie the crown for you first, if there is anything to do, we will talk about it after the crown is tied."

Chen Hen understood, got up and went out to order the palace servants to prepare, but was stopped by Princess Changqing: "Don't bother, you just bring the crown."

She paused, and then said: "There is no need for ancestral plaques or portraits of ancestors. A Yan, he... wears a crown in front of heaven and earth."

Chen Hen glanced at Li Yan again, seeing that he didn't speak, he turned around and held his jade crown.

The jade crown was chosen by Li Yan's elder brother personally, and the crown prince also prepared a long sword and a jade pen for him, in the hope that he would have both civil and military skills, but it was a pity that they could not be given away.

Chen Hen sent the palace people to the back hall, while Li Yan only knelt on the flat ground in front of the hall.The continuous rain did not stop, and it fell on the face and hair mistyly, forming small drops of water.

Princess Changqing put her hands around his hair, and just opened her mouth, her throat was choked up, and she couldn't speak.

"Princess." Chen Hen called her softly, and held the jade crown in front of her.

She made up her mind, picked up the hair crown, and said: "A Yan, you are a man, you..." She looked up at the sky, but only saw the palace walls standing everywhere, she sighed: "You are not kneeling on these four Square sky, do you understand?"

Li Yan clenched his hands in his sleeves, and he nodded slightly: "Sister Huang, I understand."

After hearing his words, Princess Changqing couldn't bear it any longer, she lowered her head, and quickly closed her eyes.She stuffed the jade crown to Chen Hen: "Li Ting, you wear it for him."

After saying this, she left without looking back, with hurried steps, the water on the ground wet the hem of her skirt, and it was stained with a gloomy color.

Finally, it was the crown worn by Chen Hen for Li Yan. He bowed his head and put the hairpin into Li Yan's hair: "The minister has surpassed."

Li Yan didn't answer.

When Princess Changqing looked back and saw the appearance of the two of them, she thought that it was her mother who knew people with her eyesight, and it was not certain that the two of them could go on like this.

After that, she married far away in the northwest, and before leaving, she went to Sanqing Mountain to meet her mother.

In this room, my mother burned incense with her bare hands, and devoutly worshiped a statue she didn't recognize.

The mother pulled away the broken hair on her forehead, and said softly: "My mother will protect you in Chang'an."

At that time, Li Yan had already gone to Lingnan, and his mother mentioned it to her as if talking about family matters: "The day Ah Yan left, he came to see me, and Li Ting also came to see me. I left Li Ting and was alone with Ah Yan. Said a few words."

Because she was going to the northwest, she felt uncomfortable, so she pulled herself together, smiled, and asked, "What did mother say?"

"I told him to discuss everything with Li Ting, and he agreed." The mother paused, "I also told him to get along with Li Ting, and he agreed. He didn't answer the last sentence. Guess what it is. "

"What is it?"

"I asked him to recognize Li Ting as a righteous brother in private, but he refused."

She thought for a while and replied: "Ah Yan has always been stubborn and arrogant, and he is unwilling to bow his head. If he asks him to recognize Chen Liting as a righteous brother, he will definitely not agree."

Mother smiled and just clapped her hands.

Before leaving, the mother got up and turned the statue she didn't know, revealing the two tablets behind it.

One belonged to her eldest brother Huang, and the other belonged to Young Master Shen of Shen Yushi's Mansion.

The mother smiled at her tenderly: "Come on, come and burn incense sticks for your two elder brothers."

"Master Shen?"

"He didn't even want his life to collect your brother's body. This is a great kindness. The Shen family was ransacked again. No one in this world remembers him anymore. When I set up a card for your brother, I also set up a card for him. "The mother smiled gracefully, "The two of them have been inseparable since they were young, and until now, they are considered complete."

Princess Changqing raised the three sticks of incense above her head, thinking, if my brother is alive in heaven, don't ask her to stay in the northwest for too long.

Sure enough, Princess Changqing stayed in the Northwest for several years until her elderly husband passed away.

Li Yan rode his horse into the Huns' camp, took her by the hand and led her onto the horseback.

The wind whistled past her ears, she turned her head, only to see that Li Yan had broad shoulders, and he had grown into a man.Teach her to think of the former eldest brother Huang unconsciously.

Afterwards, there was a commotion everywhere, the camp was on fire, and the fire dragon moved forward quickly, and when the flames flickered, she shed tears.

Tears dripped on the back of Li Yan's hands, and he whispered: "Sister Huang, don't be afraid, I will take you home."

Princess Changqing couldn't stop crying.The wind and sand in the northwest blinded her eyes, but she hadn't cried for several years. Today, she was caught by the flames and couldn't stop.

When she got to a safe place, she fell off the horse and kept wiping away her tears with her sleeve.

"Sister Huang, don't cry." Li Yan coaxed her frantically, as if she was still the half-grown boy from before.

She barely stopped her tears, and forced a smile with the corners of her mouth curled up: "A Yan, you have grown up."

Li Yan was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and he was holding on to talk to her, but seeing that she stopped crying, he felt relieved, his body softened, and he knelt down on the ground.

She held onto Li Yan's hand tightly, and when the accompanying military doctor treated Li Yan's injuries, she still held on tightly.

The accompanying military doctor cut open the flesh and blood on Li Yan's back with a burnt knife, and threw the cluster of arrows into the wooden tray with a muffled sound.When taking out the arrow cluster, Li Yan also gritted his teeth, and swallowed the pain back into his stomach, turning it into a muffled hum.

Princess Changqing was close, and although Li Yan spoke lightly, she could hear clearly that Li Yan was in great pain, maybe his mind was blurred for a while, and he called Liting.

Just calling his name, no matter how great the pain is, it is not so severe.

When he returned to Chang'an, Chen Hen was injured, and Li Yan placed him in the Yangju Hall to recuperate.

She went to Yangju Hall to visit her sick.

The curtains with talismans drawn with cinnabar hang down to the ground long. When the door of the temple is opened, the cold wind pours in and blows the curtains up in all directions, like some kind of weird sorcery.

That man was lying on the couch with a pale face, Li Yan watched over him, when he saw Princess Changqing, his eyes turned red as if he had lost something precious when he was young.

She patted Li Yan's shoulder, and could only say one thing: "Don't worry."

She also went to the time when he was granted the title of Marquis Zhongyi in the first year of Yongjia.

At that time, she joked to Li Yan: "Ah Yan, this doesn't look like a marquis, but a queen."

Li Yan held his neck and said nothing, just stared at Chen Hen who was wearing a heavy court dress and secretly rubbing his neck, and seemed to recognize it.

Only then did Princess Changqing understand why Li Yan didn't recognize him as a righteous brother at that time.

But even so, how could Li Yan abolish him so easily?

The charcoal fire in the room was burning brightly, Princess Changqing put her arms under the quilt and sighed faintly.Turning around, he saw that the little girl beside the pillow was fast asleep, so he tucked her in the quilt.
