Princess, how am I from you?

Time is like an hourglass, it seems to be leaking slowly, but it keeps leaking, and time is passing quietly in a seemingly slow but not slow manner.The few in Chang’an City have been writing letters to Luoyang. Except for Changyi, who is not dragged down, who often travels between Chang’an and Luoyang, the others all have families and mouths. It’s not easy to come out once a year. It is not easy for Zhongneng to come to Luoyang for the last gathering.What Guan Xin never expected was Li Qingyu. This little girl really came here once a year as she had guessed, and she didn't stay long each time. She would leave in a few days, but she would come every year at that time , Just like when she went to Princess Changle's mansion, she would visit on a fixed day every month.Three years later, Changle moved to Luoyang for three years, and Li Qinghuang visited three times.

It is now the end of October in the 21st year of Zhenguan, and the fourth year is about to pass.Guan Xin felt more and more that there was something tricky between Chang Le and Li Qinghuang.In the first year, Yuzhang was still jealous. After all, Li Qinghuang had vague feelings for Guan Xin. Although it was not revealed, the gift of the sachet and the parting farewell were easy to make people feel this way. Guess.But now after three years, even Yuzhang felt that Li Qingyou's target should be her elder sister, not Guan Xin.

"According to the days, celadon is coming again soon. I said, Lili, there is a question that I really can't figure out, please explain it to me."

"Call Lili again, be careful I'll hit you. If you want to ask something, just say it."

Yuzhang and Changle were reading at one end of the heated kang, while Guan Xin was writing at the other end.Suddenly remembering the doubts in my heart all the time, I couldn't help asking.

"Okay, okay, Wu Niang, I want to ask, didn't Chang Sun Chong stop you when you took this step? I think your relationship with him seems to be fine. Every time he returns to Luoyang, he still knows to visit you. How can you let you be like this, hide your name like this?"

Chang Le put down the book, seemed to think about it seriously, and then said, "I have known him since childhood. Although he is a son-in-law, he is also a cousin. Naturally, our relationship is very good, but he and I both understand that between us, family love More. Besides, you didn’t warn me that you can’t give him any more offspring, for fear that the child will get sick, but his lineage needs offspring. Why don’t you answer this question now that he can marry again and I’m free? satisfied?"

"What's my dissatisfaction? I'm not Li Qingyao. Speaking of which, do you have an affair with her? Don't forget that you don't give a clear answer. , don’t get sick on the road.”

"Oh, don't bother you, she is healthier than you imagined now." Chang Le picked up the book again and continued to read.

Guan Xin curled her lips, ignored her, and stopped asking. Anyway, she didn't come to look for her, and even if she was sick, it wasn't her turn to worry about it.

"Yuyu, come quickly." Guan Xin hid on this side of the wall, beckoning to Yuzhang with a subdued voice, and then continued to hunker down, tiptoeing through the crack of the door to look at the other side.

Guan Xin is located at the junction of the two houses. On this side of the wall is the garden of Yuzhang and Guan Xin’s family, and on the other side of the wall is the garden of Changle. There is a door on the wall. The two sisters want to You don't even need to go out the door when you visit. Walking through this door is going from here to there.Yuzhang was aroused by Guan Xin's actions, so he couldn't help lying on the crack of the door and looking at the opposite side. After only one glance, he straightened up and pulled the enthusiastic Guan Xin away.On the other side of the door, it was Li Qingyong and her elder sister who had arrived as promised.

Guan Xin was extremely reluctant and hadn't seen enough. "That sick child has been tossing and tossing for four years. Every year, he came all the way to visit. Your sister is really willing to do it. I don't know how much Li Qinghuang's paper physique can stand after such a toss. Back to this kind of tossing. They are old and young, if you like it, hurry up and get together, don't regret it when it's too late."

Yuzhang paused, then took another step forward, "Don't meddle with you, sister can tell the difference." It shouldn't be too long, judging from the expression of sister she saw just now, it should be tempted.

A few days in the mountains, thousands of years in the world.Although the few people living in Luoyang do not live a life of seclusion, the troubles in the world are no longer what they need to worry about.Changle and Yuzhang seldom go out, and Guan Xin takes care of everything outside, and she doesn't like to pay attention to those people who are in trouble, and she only cares about making money to support her family.So under the deliberate forgetting of several people, many years of peaceful, ordinary and carefree days have actually passed.

On this day, the Li Mansion welcomed a distinguished guest, an old friend who is not what he used to be.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years. The former Wu Cairen is already a distinguished empress."

"In front of my sister, Meiniang is still the old Meiniang. Meiniang will always remember the kindness my sister gave to Meiniang back then."

Not long after Guan Xin left Chang'an, Princess Changle suddenly found her one day and gave her a letter that Guan Xin had left for her.Before seeing the content of the letter, she thought it was an ordinary farewell letter, but after reading the content, she was full of puzzlement and doubts.The content of the letter emphatically reminded her how close she should be to His Royal Highness Prince Jin, and also told her not to give up when she was in a difficult situation. Only by taking the initiative can she have the glory that belongs to her.This is not the first time that she is reminded that she will be in trouble. Guan Xin hinted once when the two princesses were taken care of by Guan Xin.But she didn't care at first.It is unusual to emphasize so much in the letter now.Get close to King Jin?In trouble?Puzzled, but looking at the silver bracelet on her wrist, she still decided to trust Guan Xin, because Guan Xin had no reason to harm her.

Not long after, the first doubt was answered, King Jin was no longer King Jin, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was under one man and over ten thousand people.Guan Xin is asking her to establish a good relationship with the new Crown Prince in advance!Then in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, the imperial court changed, Emperor Taizong passed away, and left a decree before his death. She and those concubines who had no children were sent to Ganye Temple to become a nun. She understands the second question, this is her predicament, remembering Guan Xin's reminder back then, she can only take the initiative.So she did not give up on herself. Although the life of Qingdeng Ancient Buddha was difficult and difficult, she seized every opportunity she could seize and finally achieved her current status.

"If you don't mention something, if you want to say thank you, I should thank you. If you hadn't delivered the letter to the fifth princess in time, I wouldn't have gotten out of trouble so easily."

Empress Wu looked at Guan Xin's side face, and chuckled, "We sisters don't want to thank each other, because of birth, we hit it off with my sister back then, and today Meiniang is still the same as before. Meiniang was only a fifth-grade talent and couldn't help her. What a rush, if my sister is in trouble now, Meiniang will definitely help her."

Guan Xin didn't dare to take it seriously, but she had a bright smile on her face, "I won't be polite if you have Mei Niang's words."

"It's been a long time since then. If my sister and the princess miss Chang'an, they should go back and have a look. The emperor always misses you."

"Let's talk about it. I've gotten used to living here these years. I have a hunch that Meiniang will come to Luoyang often in the future, so it won't be difficult for us to meet."

"My sister has always been very prescient."

Guan Xin avoided Wu Meiniang's meaningful eyes, and joked, "I'm a god, I can pinch and count, haha."

Empress Wu smiled lightly, not taking it seriously, everyone has secrets that she doesn't want to be known by others, she just needs to make sure that Guan Xin is harmless to her, "Maybe it's true, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, my sister still looks good, even the two The appearance of the princesses is almost the same as back then, Mei Niang remembers that my sister is ten years older than me, and now she looks about the same age as me, is it because the water and soil in Luoyang are particularly nourishing, allowing the three sisters to stay young forever."

Guan Xin's smile was as bright as a flower, "The mouth is so sweet, I believe it. I'm in my forties, how can I compare with you guys in your early thirties. But in terms of mentality, I really don't accept the old, keep a young mind, yes My secret, I won’t tell anyone else.”

Empress Wu smiled all the time. She believed in this sentence. Although she didn't spend many times alone with Guan Xin, every time she came into contact with him, she could feel Guan Xin's unique vitality and charm, and that kind of vitality was especially easy to affect those around her. people.

In the corridor in the distance, Yuzhang and Changle were sitting together, and they looked at the two figures in the gazebo at the same time.Yuzhang sighed leisurely, "I think back then when Guan Xin said that martial talents would achieve high achievements, I didn't take it seriously at the time. I thought how high the achievements could be, and it would be impossible to become a queen. I never thought that she I failed to become the queen of the father, but became the queen of Jiulang."

"Yes, as a woman, serving the emperors of two dynasties, and being able to achieve the position of empress, the means are really powerful." Chang Le also sighed quite a lot.

Yuzhang withdrew his gaze and landed on Changle's face, "When will Qingyou come back? I've been away for more than ten days. If I insisted on telling her your thoughts, I don't know what would happen to the three of us today after she knew it. Such a sight."

Changle felt disappointed, "I will never be as comfortable as I am now. Qingyou is very good. Sometimes she is like you and needs to be pitied. Sometimes she is like her, very mischievous. Sometimes she is completely different from you. But now that girl is being led astray by Guan Xin. Now, I can't catch this kind of ambition anymore, I just sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday, and I have to go to Xiangyang to inspect it."

From Elder Sister's tone, Yuzhang could feel that what Elder Sister said was sincere, and the love in her words was not a lie. As long as Elder Sister was happy, she would be at ease, "Who told Elder Sister you I'm used to the two of them opening so many shops, otherwise I wouldn't need to run so far, but it's fine to run around like this, I see that her body is getting better and better over the years."

"That's true, the three of us are also thanks to Guan Xin's care."

Empress Wu didn't stay long, and before leaving, Guan Xin avoided the crowd before sending Empress Wu to the car, and said in a low voice, "If the eldest grandson's family is in trouble in the future, I hope you will treat the eldest grandson Yanwang for the sake of the fifth princess." one side."

Empress Wu paused a little, then moved forward, nodding slightly.While driving, he bid farewell to everyone and made an appointment to visit with Li Zhi again at another day.

The rolling of the wheels is like the continuous forward movement of history, leaving deep or shallow traces.The past is like smoke, and life is short.Forty years of cold and heat pass by in a hurry, whether you like it or not, life will eventually come to an end.

When Guan Xin finished the final touch, sealed the sealant, put the two letters in the golden nanmu box that once filled her heart, and handed them to Li Xinri, who was almost middle-aged, those long-lasting memories The memory came to mind again.Recalling the outrage and uneasiness when I saw the contents of the letter, I smiled idiotically.This life, it really is interesting to be unknown.If her destiny is a circle, then now she is about to reach the end of the circle in this life, and will soon coincide with the starting point.There is no longer the idea of ​​wanting to change her fate at the beginning. At this moment, she is looking forward to the next reunion with her fate.

In the first year of Hongdao, Dongyue 23.Guan Xin leaned in Yuzhang's arms, looked at the face that he had never seen enough in his whole life, and closed his eyes with infinite nostalgia.Yuzhang personally placed the hearts that Guan Xin had broken for her on Guan Xin's chest, and then lit the firewood. Watching Guan Xin's sleeping face gradually being engulfed by the flames, Yuzhang murmured to himself, " Wait for me, I'll be here soon."

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Yuzhang passed away suddenly after leaving a genealogy of the founding clan of Guan Li's Qingjue.And the only last word she left was to be cremated and her ashes buried together with Guan Xin.

On Yunmeng Mountain, on the hillside facing Luoyang, there is another joint tomb next to the joint tomb of two Li families written on the tombstone.
