Donggong: If Li Chengyin remembered first

It was very windy and snowy that night.It was all white outside.

On the second day, news of the Zhao family raid spread throughout the capital.All Zhao's relatives were imprisoned.Pei Zhao came to the East Palace early in the morning to report the matter, and at the end, he suddenly said: "There is another interesting thing. The Zhao family and his son were imprisoned, and they met the Gao family who have not yet been released. I heard that the scene was very exciting."

"Hmph, dog eats dog. Let them bite, maybe there will be more troubles."

"The Gao family and the Zhao family have colluded for a long time, I'm afraid it won't be clear in a while."

"Then try it slowly, the person is already in prison, so why worry."

"His Royal Highness has been acting frequently recently, and Zhao Gao's family is a wealthy family. They were uprooted overnight. I am afraid that the consequences will be far-reaching. People in the court are panic-stricken. I am afraid that Your Highness has to handle it carefully..."

I nodded and said, "Zhao Gao's family has been in business for many years, so they have many cronies. It's just that I have spent many years worrying about this matter... Is it possible that I can still be bitten by my own dog?"

"Then Zhao Liangdi? Your Highness plans to...?"

"she?"

The snow on a green pine in the courtyard suddenly fell, rustling a few times, revealing green branches and leaves, which startled the two of us.The snow cleared and the snow melted.A few breezes are blowing in front of you, it really seems like spring has come.

I was about to say something when suddenly there was some commotion in the front yard.

"what's the situation?"

A little Huangmen ran in in a panic and said: "Your Highness, Emperor Liang heard about the raid on Zhao's family, and committed suicide by taking poison."

I gave a slight "hmm".He said to Pei Zhao, "Look, everyone has their own destination."

Pei Zhao was stunned for two seconds before saying, "Yes."

I went to Zhao Sesur's yard.This path is perhaps the one I'm most familiar with.Now this scene finally has the result I want, but the mood is not as relaxed as I imagined.I used to think that my life was nothing but hatred.Before the result comes, even if things fail, the heart remains the same, calm as stagnant water.Later, because of Xiaofeng, I seemed to come back to life a little bit, those resentments gradually turned into possessiveness and concern.But now that Zhao Sesur is dead, I feel a little confused.This calm state of mind with a clear sense of heaviness makes me always feel that I have returned to my heavy childhood, as if I was born into the royal family and I am doomed to be hard-hearted and cold-blooded, and the East Palace is still a stuffy and suffocating palace.

The cool breeze brought by Xiaofeng can't blow away the decay and staleness here.

There was a gloomy atmosphere in Zhao Sese's courtyard.The palace servants, who were rather arrogant in normal days, were all lying down in the palace, sobbing softly as best they could.When I went, the palace maid was dressing her up.There was no trace of taking poison and committing suicide on the face that had been repainted.Whether it is domineering or scheming, it will still be peaceful and beautiful in the end.

I was in a trance when Xiaofeng came.

She stood aside, looked at Zhao Sesur for a while, and then at me, her eyes were a bit cold.Before saying anything, the person in charge of the funeral came to inquire about the system of packing rituals.

Xiaofeng always didn't care about the miscellaneous things in the East Palace, but this time she rushed to speak: "Let's choose a dress that she likes most in daily life."

The female official responded to the call and went to the inner hall to look for it. After a while, she took out a dark blue five-color pheasant-shaped gown, adorned with twelve flowers, vermilion gauze singlet, collar, red and green belt and white jade. Dashou, all of them.

When everyone saw it, Qiqi's face changed, only Xiaofeng said: "This...why did I see the queen wear it?" She turned her head and asked me with a puzzled face: "Did the queen give her this dress?"

After finishing speaking, I remembered that the empress had been deposed and imprisoned, and hurriedly added: "I'm talking about...the abolished empress..."

"This is the dress that the empress can only wear when receiving the book, offering sacrifices to the heavens and ancestors, and court meetings. Naturally, it was not given by the empress..."

"Then how could she have it?"

"Maybe I want to be a queen." I said lightly, and I saw her reckless appearance the day before, and I remembered the first time I saw her many years ago. .She asked me crisply: "Will you be the emperor in the future?" I didn't answer.She chased after him and said, "If you become the emperor, how about marrying me as the queen?"

I have never liked her, but the words are still in my ears, that she is gone, even if I am not heartbroken, there will always be a sense of desolation in the world.It seems that all the hatred and resentment have become light with the downfall of the queen, the Gao family, and the Zhao family. The thorn in my heart that made me restless day and night is now like a feather that can blow away with the wind at any time. In my heart, there is no weight, which no longer scars me all over, but I still remember the heaviness clearly, so that it cannot be blown away by any wind.

It was also like a long-lasting wound, which finally showed signs of healing at this moment. After the pain, it gradually became numb, and lost the joy that should have existed.

Xiaofeng saw that I was lost in thought, and said on her own, "If that's the case, let's change into this one."

Yong Niang secretly grabbed her sleeve and said softly: "Your Majesty, no. Let His Highness make the decision."

Xiaofeng turned to look at me and said, "Actually, it's just a piece of clothing. Now that her family is ruined and her family is dead, what's the point of pursuing it?" With a look on her face, Zhao Sesel was quite pitiful.

Seeing that I shouldn't, she tugged on my sleeve and said: "Li Chengyin, you have been in love with her for three years... Whether it is true or false, you probably never gave her what she wanted. Now she is dead , it’s just a piece of clothing, are you so stingy?”

I frowned and looked at her, a Concubine Liang privately kept the dress that the Empress received, the meaning of it, I don't know if she really didn't understand it or pretended not to understand it, she even said that I was reluctant to part with a dress and was stingy.

"You are so generous!" I was a little angry, and said with the corner of my mouth curled up, "Since the Crown Princess doesn't mind, then change it as the Crown Princess ordered."

The female officer was startled, looked at me and then at Xiaofeng hesitantly, and said softly: "Princess Concubine, Zhao Liangdi is already a criminal woman. Although the charges have not yet been determined, Liangdi's title is still there, after all... this dynasty Kaiyuan At the beginning of the year, after the abolition of Wu, the empress cursed Concubine Xu to be deposed as a commoner, not to mention that Zhao Liangdi killed the crown prince for a curse, and committed suicide... Burying in the empress's robes would not only be against the rules, but also... too shocking. Spread the word... and please think twice!"

All the palace attendants attending the funeral knelt down and said, "Please think twice, my lord!"

She frowned, and stared at me with rounded eyes.Neither speak.

I had no choice but to open my mouth and said: "Changing the plain gauze to white is no longer the queen's ceremonial system. If the rest is simple, let's bury it as Concubine Liang. As for spreading the word..." I said coldly: "You guys Won't!"

The palace man trembled in fright, and went away in response.

My complexion was very bad, I grabbed her arm and walked out.

While struggling, she urgently said: "Li Chengyin!"

"Li Chengyin!"

It has been going to a very remote place before stopping.

She struggled all the way, being dragged and dragged by me, didn't pay attention to the road, and touched the falling snow on the flower branches in the garden.

As soon as I stopped, she threw her hands and pushed me away, saying: "Li Chengyin! Why are you so crazy!"

Unexpectedly being pushed by this, I took a step back and bumped into a sour jujube tree in the garden.It smashed the unmelted snow on my face.He hurriedly brushed off the falling snow on his body, and accidentally caught his hair caught in a branch.I was angry and anxious, and I couldn't get it out for a long time, and I was in a rather embarrassing situation.Xiaofeng watched from the side, but didn't help, at first he still held his stomach and hilariously, but then he burst out laughing.

I didn't mess with the tangled hair anymore, I raised my hand and broke the twig, letting it hang on my head.Standing under the tree with folded arms, he said, "Have you laughed enough?"

She endured and endured, finally stopped, looked at me with frowning eyes, and said: "Li Chengyin, you are really stupid sometimes."

"I'm stupid?" I laughed angrily, "I'm stupid, but you're smart. The queen's ritual system says you can give it away, and you don't care at all!"

"Anyway, it's the Queen's, not mine. Why should I care?"

When she said this, Yan Xiaoyan's natural expression hurt me.

"Xiaofeng, don't you...don't want to be my queen?"

She was taken aback for a moment, and she lost her joy.Said: "I...I..."

I waited for a long time, and she suddenly said: "Li Chengyin, then you become the emperor, do you want me to be the queen?"

I hurriedly said, "Of course it's you!"

She blushed and laughed.And as if thinking of something, the smile froze, like a firework half-bloomed and suddenly extinguished, the smile faded instantly.She said softly: "Li Chengyin, actually I... don't really want to be a queen."

"why?"

She laughed again, that smile was quite forced, and it was very unnatural on her face.She said: "I married you because I came here for the sake of good relations between the two countries. I am not a Han, and I have the title of a princess. I don't understand anything about your palace. Those twists and turns I can't understand what's going on in my mind, I don't know how to say the convoluted words, even the layers of clothes look good, but I just find it cumbersome. I don't understand and am not interested in the things in the court. I don't like staying in the palace. I've been looking at this square sky and high palace walls for a long time, and I feel stuffy. I always want to sneak out. It's so fun outside, why do you have to marry someone? Locked up in the house properly? If you become a queen and you are not allowed to go out of the palace for the rest of your life, wouldn’t it be boring every day, and you will have to suffocate people to death.”

"What if I let you go out?"

She was obviously very surprised, she was taken aback, and said: "I don't want to. I...Although I don't quite understand what happened, but the things in the palace, I looked scared. You don't know how worried I was the day you were assassinated You. Later, I took the wooden sign that A'Du snatched back from the assassin, and the emperor scolded the queen when he saw it. The straightforward truth also made me afraid... and the matter of Xu Baolin and Zhao Liangdi. I... ...When I think about these things, my heart is always very confused..."

"Having said so much, you just don't want to be a queen, it's not... It's not that you don't want to continue being a husband and wife with me?"

She was stunned again, and her face turned red when she realized that she was a little shy.

The string in my heart suddenly loosened, and I said, "You like me, don't you?"

She suddenly got low and grabbed several fistfuls of Xue Yang from the ground and threw them on my face, "Li Chengyin, you! You are too shameless..."

Ruddy complexion, shy and timid.

I hugged her against the wind and snow, and said seriously: "Xiaofeng, will you stay by my side all the time? I will definitely treat you well."
