Rong Xuan

The main reason why Sima Xuan dared to drag his family from Chang'an City to Jingyang Village at the stand where his "fourth younger brother" Sima Kun was charged with murder and sent to prison for trial was nothing more than because there were some things that could make him She took out her elder sister Sima Yingxian cleanly.

In order not to fall into the difficult situation like eight years ago again, with the enemy in front of the back, coerced by others, and without any choice.

She, Sima Xuan, in this life, in life and death, does not want to repeat the mistakes of that year, not at all.

It was dark in the middle of the night, the thunder faded away, and there was only audible heavy rain outside, and the stuffy heat in the room disappeared at some point.

Sima Xuan shook his head, feeling that he was awake and had an incredible dream—probably because he had an obsession, which is why such a dream appeared—she actually heard Cao Hui say that he was afraid Don't want her? !

So, she tried to raise her hands and put them on Cao Hui's shoulders to push, but she pushed her away without much effort.

"Maybe my legs really hurt a lot, Yuanrong," Sima Xuan, who had lost his snuggle, was unsteady, and sat directly on the incense table under the window that was as tall as Cao Hui's waist.

She tilted her head slightly, staring at the person in front of her for a moment, with a smile on her pale and bloodless face as if she had heard some joke, and said, "Could it be that I just had hallucinations just now? Or when In a dream?—I, I hear you say, you say you're afraid I don't want you,'

As he said that, the man with gentle brows and eyes slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes reflected the dim yellow candlelight beside him, so warm and soft, "But why would I not want you, you are Yuan Rong."

You are Cao Yuanrong.

What is a harp played to the sky in Kyushu Palace, which attracted the call of Kunshan Jade Broken Phoenix, and hundreds of thousands of praises of hibiscus crying dew, fragrant orchids, what teenagers' tongue wars with envoys from many countries, amazed the civil and military, and made the world pour out talents, etc. All kinds of things, putting aside all the false names, you are you, you are Cao Yuanrong.

Sima Xuan slightly raised his eyebrows——

In the sixth year of Jingchu, the Xiongnu Xindan Yu Bingfa Wulu lit the beacon towers of the seven city gates on the western front of the northern border overnight. The stark contrast between life and death.

When the smoke was rising, the three thousand tiger brigades in the Hu Ben camp in the north were holding their knives and reining in their horses, looking north at the boundless mountains and rivers, their war horses hooting and neighing, waiting for the general to return, and with an order, the son of the north will not hesitate to die!

Jinyi battles, civil and military whispers.Like countless times before, I took off my Xuan Chang and put on my military uniform, even though that night—— was my wedding night that I was looking forward to but was too timid to face.

But that time, when I was holding the Wuhen long knife and holding the helmet and was about to lead the troops northward, a girl in red with long hair chased me and ran out of Jinglinghou Mansion.

She was dressed in red, and her blue hair was like a waterfall.

She stood under the gilt door plaque that said "Decree to build Jinglinghou's Mansion", and stood under the two red lanterns that were as tall as a person, and said to me with a smile, "Your Majesty, I will wait for you at home. "

This person is you, Cao Yuanrong.

In the seventh year of Jingchu, I led troops to inspect the right-wing defense line of the Northern Border Army. When I returned to the Yueguan Pass, I had a head-on fight with King Xiaoyouting of the Tuha tribe. After several knives, a hunting arrow with a barb pierced my left shoulder obliquely. The trace of the arrow piercing the flesh and blood was only two fingers away from my heart, and I narrowly escaped death.

After I woke up from the coma, everyone came to offer advice and advice to me, saying that the Major General of the Northern Territory Army could not bear this kind of humiliation, and asked me to kill King Tuha Xiaoyouting in the Autumn Harvest Battle.

But there was only one person who silently brought me a bowl of soothing and pain-relieving soup when I was in so much pain that I couldn't sleep well for three nights.

This person is also you, Cao Yuanrong.

It was you, it was your appearance that made me think "I must return safely" before going to the battlefield for the first time, and it was your appearance that made me feel nostalgic for the word "home" for the first time.

When I was very young, my mother died of dystocia. When my mother's body was buried with the child who died before it was born, I really lost my home.

My father soon married a new wife. They formed a new family and gave birth to a very cute little son. Whenever the family sat together for dinner, I envied them very much.

I am the eldest son of Du Qihou's mansion, but I am especially envious of the third younger sister Sima Bing, who was born as a concubine, because she also has her own aunt.

My eldest sister Sima Ying and I depend on each other for life, but I also know that my eldest sister will marry in the future and start a family of her own.

My identity is too special, I dare not get close to anyone easily, so I can only choose to be alone, choose to look at other people's family harmony, warmth and happiness from a distance and coldly.

However, after all, I am just a mortal with seven emotions and six desires - I also long for a place where I can rest my emotions, and also long for a home.

In the spring of the sixth year of Jingchu, I severely injured the cavalry of the Changshengtian warriors who were the most proud of the eighteen tribes of the Xiongnu. took the head of their Batulloy Grand Chanyu.

I, Sima Xuan, achieved success as a young man, and I am appointed as a general and marquis.

It was the late spring of that year, when the imperial decree of marriage came down, I immediately realized that I was being plotted against.

I am naturally unwilling, but when you said the phrase "I'll wait for you to come back" to me at the door of the Hou Mansion, even though I hadn't seen your face clearly, I was already thinking, this Jiao Didi Girl, from now on, I, Sima Xuanpin, will personally protect the glory and wealth of my life...

Thinking of this, Sima Xuan's thoughts suddenly pulled out of the memory, she smiled at Cao Hui in front of her, showing the two pointed white canine teeth in her mouth.

Her two canine teeth are not prominent - they get along with other neighbors in harmony and grow neatly, but besides the pointed appearance, they also have a magical Function--

When their master often has a sneer on his expressionless face, the two canine teeth will show a little bit sharp, making their master look like a bloodthirsty Shura who returned from hell, but when the master smiles warmly, the two Unsurprisingly, his presence makes the master more gentle and lovely.

Sima Xuan smiled and said to Cao Hui: "I just want to give you the best things, buy you the most beautiful silk and satin in Dachao Kingdom, and see you wear the most beautiful and fashionable clothes, rouge and gouache. , gold and silver jewelry, I will also give you the best, you are so good, I think only the best things in the world can match you."

"I also patted my chest to assure the general that if your Cao family can support people, I, Sima Xuan, can also support them." At this time, Sima Xuan leaned sideways on the window lattice, smiling mockingly, his pupils tinged. Glittering at night:

"The general smiled and told me that you are the only daughter of your Fuguo Duke's mansion. You are spoiled and spoiled. I was afraid that I would not be able to support me, so I went back to the general and said that you will be the one to toss about more than a hundred acres in Jinglinghou's mansion. If you I think the Hou's Mansion is too small, and I still have dozens of Zhuangzi under my name, adding up to more than [-] mu of land, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, so you can play around as you like."

When Cao Hui's elder brother Cao Zheng was alive, he led troops to guard the 26th pass in the west. At the age of [-], he was called "Chao" together with Sima Xiu in the north, Zhang Bufan in the east, and Meng Yi in the south. "National Fourth General", even if he was accused of rebellion, people in later generations would respectfully call him "General" when they mentioned him!

Cao Hui's thoughts could not linger on her brother Cao Zheng who was suddenly mentioned, she heard Sima Xuan's next words.

"But in the end, I did a hundred kinds of courteousness, but I forgot to ask you, are you willing to accept these things I gave you..." Sima Xuan's mouth curled up into a sudden smile, and he sneered coldly: "At that time, the general If you don't believe that I can protect you, now it seems that he is right."

In Cao Hui's cognition, Sima Xuan and her elder brother Cao Zheng are very similar in some aspects-they are the kind of people who talk less and do more. Keep silent.

Cao Hui felt that her body was a little unconscious now, and even her mind was a little unable to think. These words of Sima Xuan shocked her like thunder.

"You, you... I don't know this, I don't know that you and my brother had these conversations, I..." Cao Hui propped his forehead, and fell weakly into the chair behind him, speaking incoherently.

Sima Xuan didn't speak any more.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the rain outside gradually subsided, and perhaps Cao Hui and Sima Xuan also calmed down.

Liu Sheng suddenly knocked on the door.

"Master, there's news from Changding that the eldest son-in-law has disappeared on his way to the Shanqi camp!"

There was a muffled "bang bang" sound, and a series of tinkling and rolling sounds came from the room - Sima Xuan accidentally knocked over the copper incense burner on the incense table.

It is well known that the head of Yongjia County does not follow the rules. Right now, because the order from above has not been completed, the Minister of Honglu Temple, who has been rejected by Wuwen Garden six times, has no choice but to bite the bullet and visit for the seventh time.

This time, the old man Siqing Wang was smart. He asked people to find out all the time when Princess Yongjia was out of the garden in the past two days in advance, and then hid in a corner of the alley, taking advantage of Zhao Qingjia's unpreparedness, and killed him in one fell swoop. Zhao Qingjia, who was about to bend down and get into the carriage, blocked the gate of Wuwen Garden.

"It's so early, Wang Siqing," Zhao Qingjia stepped down from the carriage, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation to the gate of Wuwen Garden, and said bluntly: "The weather is getting colder, Siqing moved to the garden to eat A cup of hot tea?"

"..." Wang Siqing, who had been shut down six times, failed to react in time, and after a long while, trembling gray goatee, cupped his hands to salute Zhao Qingjia, "I'm bothering you, I'm really ashamed..."

Zhao Qingjia led Wang Siqing to the Wuwen Garden, and after hearing what the old man said, she couldn't help muttering: "You come to bother me even though you know you're ashamed, none of you have the truth in your mouth."

"..." Wang Siqing was thinking recently that it's normal for him to have deafness once in a while because he's getting old. Well, he just pretended he didn't hear anything.

Walking into Wuwen Garden, Zhao Qingjia invited Wang Siqing to the West Flower Hall, which was specially used to entertain guests.

"Si Qing came so early, I wonder if we can eat?" Zhao Qingjia personally poured tea for Wang Si Qing, and the frightened old man stood up in trepidation, and took the teacup with both hands.

Symbolically licking his mouth, Wang Siqing gradually gathered a smile of admiration and awe in his cloudy eyes.

He said: "The last time I was lucky enough to taste the fragrant tea in Wuwen Garden was when the garden was completed more than 20 years ago."

As he said that, the old man put down the teacup, unconsciously raised his hand and stroked his beard, recalling: "At that time, the empress was still young, and she was held in the arms of Princess Xiansizhui. She was extremely cute and cute, white and fat. No matter who saw it, they couldn't help but want to hug and tease, but in the blink of an eye, things are different, things are different..."

"Princess Sizhui" is the abbreviation of "Princess Siren, Xiaomin, Dunchun and Keli chasing the eldest princess". This is the posthumous title of Zhao Qingjia's mother, the first eldest princess Zhao Li. The posthumous title of Emperor Zuwu is missing two characters, which shows that the Tian family has a deep affection for this elder sister.

"Wang Siqing has served in three dynasties, and is even more experienced in the imperial court. He has always supported the sky of Honglu Temple and is deeply dependent on the inner curtains. However, Siqing came here this early in the morning. Could it be that he just came to recall the past with me? Mother?" Zhao Qingjia took a sip of tea, Qingling's smile didn't reach his eyes.

Wang Siqing paused, as if he suddenly realized what he had just said, and blamed himself endlessly.

He hurriedly bowed his hands to Zhao Qingjia, explained to Zhao Qingjia in repeated voices, and said: "My lady forgives my sin, my lady forgives my sin. I'm getting older now, and I always remember some old things in the past recently. It's not because I want to bring up thoughts Chasing the eldest princess, and making your empress feel sad, your empress will forgive me..."

"Forgive me, forgive me," Zhao Qingjia narrowed his dark brown eyes, looking at Wang Siqing with obvious puzzlement and faint inquiry, "Honglu Temple and Wang Siqing's mansion are both within walking distance of me." The garden is far away, and it is not easy for Wang Siqing to make this trip, so let’s talk about it if you have something to do, and the Crown Princess of Zhenhai Palace invited me to play polo outside Jinming Pool."

"..." Wang Siqing's hands hidden in the sleeves of his official robe couldn't help rubbing each other, and finally talked about his future intentions with Zhao Qingjia.

Taking advantage of the Dongshan Xinggong, which is currently being repaired and expanded, the East Palace wants to transfer some people from the six ministries and the five temples, three mansions, and the fourth courtyard and two guards under the cabinet to help build the Xinggong. The garden that was given to the eldest princess is now just blocking the expansion of the Dongshan Palace.

Donggong and Wuwenyuan failed to negotiate, so they sent him to be a lobbyist.

After listening to Wang Siqing's words, Zhao Qingjia said "huh?" in confusion, "It stands to reason that this matter is a normal land issue. The prince's cousin is in charge of this matter, and he directly sent the Dongdian Wufu or the Ministry of Household Affairs to It’s fine if someone comes here, why did you use Honglu Temple, which is dedicated to ceremonial battles, to trouble you, Wang Siqing, to come here yourself?”

"..." Meeting such an empress princess who was pretending to be confused, Wang Siqing felt that his old stomach problem that he hadn't had for many years suddenly had a tendency to flare up.

The old man had no choice but to practice Tai Chi: "Chengming Garden was bestowed by Emperor Wu himself to Princess Sizhui. Even the gate plaque of Chengming Garden was inscribed by Emperor Wu himself. The government and household department, among these people, no one is qualified to talk to you about this matter with your empress."

After speaking, Zhao Qingjia nodded with an "I see" expression on his face. Wang Siqing, who had been in the officialdom for many years, immediately realized that his words were inappropriate, but it was too late.

Hearing Zhao Qingjia protracted his voice, he suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case... If I remember correctly, the East Palace Office is not only independent of the cabinet itself, but also superior to the six ministries and the cabinet. In terms of jurisdiction, Wang Siqing, although you are the elder of the three dynasties, but now you appear in my Wuwen Garden, isn't it a bit..."

Zhao Qingjia didn't say the following words, but Wang Siqing's back was covered with cold sweat - although today's family is a man of great talent and knowledge, but he also has the common problem that emperors would have - jealousy.

The Tian family has always tabooed the various ministries in the court to leapfrog their affairs. If this matter is spread to the ears of the Tian family by someone with ulterior motives, it does not matter whether it is a veteran of the three dynasties or a meritorious person who founded the country, that person will take care of it.

But, but... Wang Siqing took two deep breaths: His two sons who were officials in the court stood by the East Palace. He is the most beloved and beloved child of the Tian family!

Although this matter has exceeded his authority at the moment, he is simply and forced to do things for the East Palace. Honglu Temple stepped forward, half-negotiating and half-threatening, with twice the result with half the effort, and the matter was easily settled.

After the matter is completed, not only will the Tian family not hold Honglu Temple accountable, but they will also be happy that Honglu Temple has taken care of the marriage for Princess Yongjia...

"Furthermore," at this moment, Zhao Qingjia added with a look of "worries for the king": "The East Palace suddenly transferred many officials from the court to the Dongshan Palace. It was said that the manpower was transferred for repairs and expansion, but when they got there, what happened? What to do, others will not know, since they don’t know, wouldn’t they be curious? Now that they’re curious, wouldn’t they send someone to find out?”

"Hey!" Zhao Qingjia suddenly raised his hand and patted the armrest of the seat, sighing: "Wang Siqing, didn't you let someone use you as a gun?!"

Ten thousand war horses from the north neighed and galloped past Wang Siqing's heart at this moment—why no one told him before he came here that this princess of Yongjia was such a two-hundred-and-a-half-year-old rogue, not stingy! !

What is knowing?What is seeing through but not revealing?I'm afraid she, Princess Yongjia, doesn't even know how to write these words!

The old man was so out of breath that he almost couldn't turn over in one breath, and his heartache broke out on the spot.

"Your Majesty—" Wang Siqing spoke while holding her breath, but Zhao Qingjia immediately interrupted her. She suppressed her voice and said with deep meaning: "I'm planning for Mrs. Wang."

After a while, Zhao Qingjia, Princess of Yongjia, suddenly heard a cry for help from the West Flower Hall of Wuwen Garden:

"Come quickly! Wang Siqing has passed out, come quickly, please doctor..."

Wang Siqing, who finally chose to cooperate with Zhao Qingjia: "..."

An old face, flushed with no place to put it.

The author has something to say:

Zhao Qingjia: It’s not about being generous, it’s about being mad and you don’t pay for your life

The people who just finished class murmured in the cold wind: When I remembered, my birthday had passed two days
