Dream Hua Embers Records

Don't fight anymore?Yan Qihao recalled the emperor's decree for Yan Yin to enter the palace before sending out troops this time.

Yingge died of illness, and Yanyin had no one to take care of her, so she had to enter the palace to raise her.If you don't want your son to enter the palace, you can hand over your military power and stay in the mansion as Prince Anle to take care of the child.Or continue to let the son be taken care of, but this violates the vow when he married Yingge.In the final analysis, I am afraid that the emperor's third brother is still brooding about Yingge's marriage back then...

And what about myself?Abandon Yan Yin, keep the military power.

On the one hand, I still want to fight, and I can still fight, and I want to fulfill my youthful aspirations: Immediately mount Wushan, raise troops to the Yangtze River, and bring the fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River into Dayuan's territory.Besides... News came from the south that Kang Mao returned to Daliang and was about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.Southern Zhao's army is ready to fight with Da Yuan. Now that King Chong has passed away, Da Yuan is the only one who can take command and lead the army. The arrow is on the string, so he can't help but retreat.

On the other hand, giving Yin'er to the third brother's upbringing is also a favor for the third brother. After all, it was my own fault for Yingge's matter, and the third brother has been very tolerant of himself... just wronged Yin'er ...

Thinking of this, Yan Qihao sighed, "How can we not fight? Your uncle died of illness, and the two imperial brothers are young. One is brave but not resourceful, and the other is resourceful but not brave. The only ones left in Dayuan who are good at fighting Daddy is gone... You, and those little princes, need to grow up quickly, and take over from your father's generation."

After washing their bodies, the two put on brand new plain white coats, and lay side by side on the boulder by the hot spring.Because the atmosphere of the earth is warm, the boulder is warm and doesn't feel cold at all.Yan Qihao took a cloth towel and wiped Yan Yin's hair carefully.

"Daddy...can I not go to the Zhongdu Palace? Can I stay in Yanjing?" Yan Yin asked timidly.

"No...Yin'er." Yan Qihao held Yan Yin in his arms, "Daddy is going to lead the army to fight, and there is no one at home to take care of you. You can go to the palace to study and practice martial arts with other princes. The emperor is your third uncle." , is also Daddy's closest elder brother, and he loves you so much that he took you to the palace."

Yan Qihao paused for a moment, but still told about Yingge, "Back then, your mother was married in the country of origin, and she was going to marry the emperor, but in the end, her father took her away. That's how I got you."

"Really?" Yan Yin's eyes lit up, "Daddy, you are really capable!"

Yan Qihao laughed loudly, those old things flooded into his heart, like this sparkling water wave, rippling, surging, endless.

"But... the third uncle is the emperor, does the emperor have things he wants but can't get?"

"Yes, the emperor is not omnipotent, not to mention..." Yan Qihao narrowed his eyes and smiled sweetly, "Besides, the third brother loves my little brother, no matter how unwilling he is, he will give me good things. so……"

"Yeah!" Yan Yin nodded, "The elder brother and the second elder brother gave way to me as well."

"So...you have to honor the emperor like you respect your father. If he didn't let your father marry your mother to your father, there would be no you." Yan Qihao smiled, intentionally making this topic easy.

"If the emperor doesn't let daddy, then I will become the prince." Yan Yin also giggled, and blurted out this sentence.

Yan Qihao's face darkened in an instant, and the movements of his hands froze there, the hand holding the cloth scarf was clenched tightly, and the veins bulged.

Yan Yin felt her hair tighten, she turned her head and called out, "Daddy..."

Yan Qihao felt that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly gave away his hand. Just as he was about to say something to cover up, he suddenly heard a faint singing voice from not far away, "Young and rich, you are tired of beautiful clothes, and you have grown up in the palace to accompany Zunyang. Today you are tired and homeless." In a foreign land, it is good fortune to die quickly.” After one song, there is another song, “I used to live in the sky, and I lived in the palace of pearls and jade palaces; now I am in the grass, what can I say? When I humiliate my ambitions, when will I hate Snow? Quickly return to the spring, this worry will never end..."

That song has a melancholy tune and a sad meaning, which makes people want to cry after listening to it.

"I've heard this song before. It seems to be sung by the nun in the temple in our backyard."

"Hmm... this is Zhao Guo's ditty..." Yan Qihao murmured.

"Qing Bo said that the nun was insane, so he wouldn't let me go near there." Yan Yin said.

"She is the daughter of Prince Zhao Yongping."

"Ah?! Then she is also Zongji, why did she become a nun in our temple?"

"Our palace is the original palace of Yongping County, and it is also her home... It was rewarded to dad by the emperor when dad captured Yanjing from Xixia people back then."

"Then she is also a prisoner of war? Then why wasn't she taken to Zhongdu as a prisoner like the prince's brother?"

"She was given to my father by the emperor..."

"Ah?!" Yan Yin's eyes widened, "Then she should be my father's concubine..."

"Yes...she is your second brother's biological mother."

"Ah?!" Yan Yin heard too many unexpected things that night, and felt a little bit overwhelmed, "Then why did she become a monk?"

"She doesn't like Daddy..." Yan Qihao sighed.

"Since you don't like Daddy, why did you have a second brother with Daddy?"

"That's what Daddy forced her to..."

"But..." Yan Yin wanted to ask something, but was interrupted by Yan Qihao.

"Yin'er... I'm telling you this today because I treat you as an adult. Adult affairs are not black and white, and they can be explained clearly if there is a reason. Or, there are some things that Daddy doesn't know the answer to. You can ask Daddy Why, it is better to find the explanation that you think is correct."

Yan Yin nodded half-understanding, stunned for a moment, then said softly, "I don't want to be an adult, I want to be a child for the rest of my life."

Yan Qihao smiled and patted Yan Yin's head, "You're talking stupid again, how can a person be a child forever! Come on, let's go and have a look."

The father and son, holding hands, walked around the curtain and followed the sound.

The moon has risen, and the cool glow is sprinkled on the rocks, and the dots of quartz and mica on the rocks reflect fine flashes.

A woman in yellow, with hair all over her head, uses a big rock as an incense table, a pinch of earth as incense, clasped her hands together, and prays silently to the sky.It seemed to be the woman who sang just now.

"What wish did you make?" Yan Qihao asked.

The woman didn't expect that there was someone behind her, she was startled, although her body trembled, she didn't lose her composure, she just turned around gracefully and gave a little blessing, and replied loudly, "Vow to return home."

Yan Qihao shook his head lightly, sighed secretly, and then smiled, "You were the one singing just now?"

"Yes." The woman nodded, neither humble nor overbearing.

"You made your own words?"

"Yes."

"The meaning of the word is too sad..."

"The sorrow of words is not like the sorrow of life." The woman restrained her face and said in a deep voice.

"What's your name?"

The woman frowned, as if she didn't know what to call herself, she paused, and then said, "Zhaoyi Zhu Suhui."

Yan Qihao nodded and sighed, "Everyone around Suzong is so elegant!"

The author has something to say: Bashili from Laizhou to Haiyun Temple.Thirty miles away from Laizhou, I went to the east coast of the sea, overlooking the blue sea, and the sky was as blue as the sky. I had poor eyesight and didn't know where I was going.The temple is half a mile away from the sea, and there are two hot spring pools behind the temple.There is a large island in the east of Wanghai, with Loudian, Cuidubo, and Longgong Temple on it. ——Haiyun Temple is in Liaoning, not near Yanjing.

Qinggong Translation: "Arrived in Laizhou on the 29th. After ascending from Yanshan Mountain, we drove a hundred and fifty miles a day...arrived at Haiyun Temple on the [-]th. On May [-]st, we entered the temple and stationed in horses. The king and concubines washed their hands and burned incense. Concubine Qian Chengdi (according to the author of the translation of the Qing Palace) made a vow in the book, hoping to return to her hometown. The king scoffed at his stupidity, but he couldn't forbid... On the second day of the first day, Wang Ling stayed in the village for a day and took a bath in the hot spring together."—— Feels like everyone took a shower
