Ai Min of Fomalhaut's Self-written Book

?The north of Songshan Mountain is Yin, and the south of the Yellow River is also Yin. Sandwiched in the middle, Gongyi is the land of dragon veins.

We hired a carriage and left Kaifeng overnight. The road was bumpy and difficult, and the moonlight was as cold as frost, leaving only a vague outline.

The little brother was silent all the way, I knew he was not feeling well, but I didn't know how to comfort him, so I just held his hand tightly.

His hands are cold, as cold as sapphire dew and morning frost, no matter how I cover them, I can't cover them.

One night, he was stupefied for several hours, and when he opened his eyes again, the carriage had stopped, the sky by the window had gradually brightened, and the little brother's face was stained with tears like a child's.

No, he is no longer a child. He has grown from that skinny little brother to a handsome young man like Cong Zhan. The world is his, and he will and must have enough ability to compete with the so-called The Empress Dowager contended.

We got off the car and looked at the Huabiao at the forefront of Shinto, the elephant and the elephant trainer, followed by the auspicious birds and beasts, the horses and the horse controllers, and the guest envoys holding treasures, a total of three pairs , is the appearance of a guest envoy from a neighboring country who attended the funeral of the first emperor. Behind the guest envoy are military officers and civilian officials, arranged in the order of worship.Further back is General Zhenling, wearing armor and holding an axe.

The little brother walked all the way over and couldn't stop shaking. The mausoleum envoy who guarded the mausoleum checked the little brother's letter before letting us in.

The underground palace of the mausoleum is large and spacious. There are stone statues of servants standing at the four corners. There are lamp towers with stone bases on both sides, and the windows are protected by copper wire. Surrounding the underground palace is the sacred wall of the mausoleum. There are corners in the four corners.

"Father has been here for ten years, but I don't know what his resting place looks like until now." The little brother forced a smile at me, but the tears in the corners of his eyes remained.

He knelt down straight, and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times towards the mausoleum.

After knocking, I helped him up and went to the side hall, which is where the concubine's tomb is placed.

He staggered a little along the way, entered the side hall, and saw a few white candles lit in front of a mausoleum, offering some fruits, which should be his queen mother.

The little brother used to push the lid hard, but he lost his strength and generally couldn't push it open.

The Shouling next to him naturally didn't know the identity of the little brother. He looked at us coldly for a long time, and finally said impatiently: "What are you doing? The palace still needs an autopsy? Li Shunrong is really dead."

The little brother obviously froze and stopped the movements of his hands, but he didn't look back at Shouling.

I gave some money to the mausoleum guard, and they went down.

I held the tip of the candlestick to lift the lid a little higher, and the coffin lid was lifted only after my little brother exerted some strength.

The younger brother's mother and queen lay quietly inside, dressed in plain white, her face was pale, her cheeks were thin, like a withered flower that had withered on the cold bed.

She is a great woman!For the sake of his own child, he abandoned everything about himself until he became the emperor, willingly guarding the imperial mausoleum for his safety. The window was covered by the unwarmed night.

The little brother did not cry, but still clenched his teeth and shed tears quietly. After watching for a long time, I gently said to him: "Forget it."

The road back seems not as bumpy as it was when we came here. Barren weeds can be seen everywhere on the road, high hills, and half slopes. The sun is here, dim and dark, and everything around seems to be filled with sadness. suffering.

"What's your home like?"

The little brother asked me quietly, he seemed to have calmed down a lot.

I whispered: "My parents are ordinary people." I paused, and then said: "When I was in my mother's womb, my mother knew that I was twins, so she named me Ai Min. Do you know what it means? ?"

I took my little brother's hand and wrote my name stroke by stroke in his palm.

"Does it mean remembering the green Luoqun, pity the grass everywhere?"

I shook my head slightly, "No. My mother said that the world is full of fame and fortune. We are ordinary people, so my elder sister is Ai Min, and my younger sister is Ai Li."

The little brother looked out of the window and said dumbly, "So you have a twin sister."

"No." I lowered my head, feeling even more uncomfortable, "My sister died before she was born, because I competed with her for nutrition in the mother's womb, and she lost."

The little brother's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

He had this blank expression all the way, he must have felt extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't even shed tears.

I held his hand and said slowly: "So, every moment I think now, no matter whether this life is sad or happy, only the darlings of heaven can have it. If you are not lucky, you can't get these."

The little brother was still looking out of the window, with the sound of hooves, I don't know if he understood what I said, so I could only comfort him, "Don't think about the future now, think about it first... What you want to say when you meet the Queen Mother later.”

The little brother didn't return to the palace for two days and two nights, and the soldiers guarding the mausoleum didn't just eat for nothing. If anyone visited the tomb, they would have to report to the higher levels. Presumably the queen mother is already waiting for the little brother in the palace.

The little brother was silent for a long time, and tears fell down again. His eyes were full of red blood, and his eyes looked hazy like a layer of cotton. He wiped his tears and asked me: "I will leave tomorrow morning I personally announced that my mother was concubine Chen, what expression should I use to say it to those who know about it? If they pity me, what should I do?"

I do not know either.

The little brother's brows were twisted, with sadness in his eyes, "I was... still thinking, I am the only biological child of the empress mother, what is she arguing with her son... But, it turns out that I am not... ······I am the same as everyone else, a person who has nothing to do with the queen mother······If I don't learn to fight with the queen mother in the future, I may... be Prince Zhanghuai·· ·········································································································································································································································································································<·

He said a lot in tears, and the broken and hesitant sentences were not integrated, so he just said it together, "Why don't you take me to your place where no one knows me, and I will help you grow orchids. We're together, okay?"

He suddenly pulled my sleeve and begged me.

I looked into his dark eyes, tears welled up, and I put my arms around his shoulders, "Are you really a child? Where can you escape? Where are you going to escape?"

I calmed down and whispered in my little brother's ear: "You are an orthodox emperor, and those who support you are naturally justified, not to mention that your mother and queen have been in power for many years, so it is inevitable that you will have many opponents. You have grown up. She will not be your opponent. Don't worry."

These troubles will eventually pass, you just wait quietly.

The little brother didn't say yes or no, and choked for a long time, then lay down on my lap and fell asleep quietly.

Even in his sleep, he frowned slightly, his lips curled up in pain, and all the sorrow and sorrow were written on his face. I looked at him quietly for a while, and I felt heartbroken. Who would have thought that he was as noble as an emperor, but I have to bear so much life and life.

By the time he woke up again, we had already returned to the capital.

When I got out of the car, my knee was numb for a while because my little brother had been sleeping on his pillow for a long time, and my feet were unsteady and I fell on my little brother.

He helped me up.

"It doesn't matter, it will be fine soon." I brushed his temples, which were somewhat messy from tears, and said lightly, "Just pretend that you don't know anything."

The little brother nodded, expressionless.
