Six years later, the Qing Dynasty unified the Central Plains and regained the Dashun, Nanming and other regimes. All Han people have been oppressed, humiliated and struggled. After a long period of time and precipitation, most people have chosen to remain silent and accept it.

After all, for the people, it doesn't matter who is their king. What they want is to live and work in peace, not to flee all day long with wars and vagrants.

They are just ordinary people, not adventurers. Heroes are made in war, and the bones are exchanged for the country, but they are mentally retarded.

If someone can end all of this and give them shelter from the wind and rain, and a life with enough food and clothing, they already have three points of gratitude in their hearts.

Winter is approaching, and the weather in the twelfth lunar month, although sunny, is still cold.

At this time, an edict became the hottest topic in the capital, and the regent Dorgon issued an edict to go hunting in Saibei.

The great achievements of the regent Dorgon were unmatched in the Qing Dynasty. Today, Emperor Shunzhi respects him as the emperor's father and regent. However, in recent years, his health has not been very good. The old illnesses caused by war injuries many years ago seem to have been In the relapse, not long ago, he was ill for a while, but he did not listen to the dissuasion of the imperial physician and insisted on hunting in Saibei.

No one knows the purpose of his trip?

Before leaving, he took his only daughter, Dong'e, to the harem, the Compassionate Ning Palace, which is the palace of the empress dowager today. When Dong'e, who was more than five years old, saw the empress dowager, he called out happily: "The emperor's aunt!"

The queen mother hugged her lovingly and said, "Dong'e, you haven't entered the palace for a long time!"

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager ordered her maid to invite Dong'e to play, and seeing Dorgon silently, she said for a long time: "You..."

The fact that she executed Princess Changping privately back then made Dorgon hate her and Xiao Yu'er after all. Over the years, he saw her as if he had met a stranger, and even oppressed the emperor politically. She also kept marrying wives and taking concubines. She felt sorry for her younger sister, Xiao Yu'er, who finally became disheartened and died of depression three years ago, leaving the child Dong'e in the world.

"I'm going to go outside the Great Wall and let Dong'e live in the palace for a while!" Dorgon said.

The queen mother was relieved that he still loved Dong'e and believed in himself, but she didn't regret that one thing, but Dorgon couldn't let it go.

In the cold wind and snow, Dorgon left with his men and horses. The queen mother stood on the high wall, watching his leaving back, and said silently: "Dorgon, you found her, didn't you?"

In this world, who else can understand Dorgon better than her?

After crossing the alpine glaciers and the biting cold wind, Dorgon finally arrived at the legendary Saibei Jiangnan.

"The orchards at the foot of Helan Mountain are formed, and the south of the Yangtze River is famous in the past." The rough desert, the majestic Yellow River, the beautiful lakes, the boundless plains, and the scenery of the frontier fortress complement each other. This place looks like the beauty and charm of Jiangnan.

Huijiang women wear different clothes from the Qing Dynasty. They are beautiful and colorful, and they gather in groups in twos and threes, laughing or fighting, or discussing with a passing guest from afar.

Their sheep were grazing leisurely on the grass, and Dorgon recognized the woman he was looking for in the crowd at a glance, and walked towards her.

When the women next to him saw it, they greeted each other in Hui language, but he couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to understand it.

She was wearing a moon-white kimono, with a snow-white veil around her head, embroidered with a few purple snow lotuses, talking in a low voice with people in the crowd, her left sleeve was empty, but it was not that he recognized her s reason.

"A-Ning..." Dorgon stood behind her and called softly, his terminally ill body couldn't help coughing violently because of his emotional excitement.

Seeing that the visitor was looking for her, the Hui girls next to her gathered together to watch the excitement. Dorgon was annoyed and winked, and the guard next to him immediately said something back, and they scattered and fled.

Seeing this situation, the woman was startled and wanted to leave, but her hand was held by someone, so she couldn't escape.

"A-Ning!" Dorgon called again, and she finally knew that this person was looking for her.

"Sir, I'm mistaken. I'm not Aning." She gently pulled her hand away, her eyes filled with strangeness.

"You are the Aning I'm looking for!" He said firmly.

"But my name is not Aning!" She also insisted.

"Would you like to hear me tell a story? You will understand after listening!" Dorgon said.

"Listen to stories?" The woman's eyes moved, and she said with interest: "My husband also likes to tell me stories, I like listening to them the most, tell me!"

"Okay!" He replied, she had such strange and exploring eyes, as if she had returned to the time when they first met.

He opened his mouth slowly, and began to tell the story of their acquaintance in an intermittent voice. After hearing this, she was so moved that she felt that the princess was unfair and treated unfairly.

"Girl, if you were Aning, would you forgive him?" After a fit of coughing, he asked after calming down.

The woman thought for a while and replied: "I don't know, but I think that Aning might hate him, but if Jin Rui can really benefit the people and think about the people of the world, one day, Aning will forgive him."

After she finished answering, she suddenly saw the guest in front of her with a relieved smile, and asked her back: "Girl, let me tell you about you. Are you happy in your current life?"

Although she was a little puzzled, she had a feeling of deja vu to the guest in front of her. She nodded, thinking that her husband was so kind to her, and said with a smile: "Of course!"

"You don't know! My husband and I are both Han Chinese. I was seriously ill a few years ago. My husband took me here to ask for medicine and saved me from the gate of hell. Although I have forgotten what happened before, my husband is very serious. I'm fine, and I don't dislike my disability, my husband is a man of talent, he can recite poems and compose odes, and he is the only teacher in the village, many girls envy me!" She said triumphantly, without any feeling of inferiority for her broken arm .

The sun was gradually setting, and snowflakes suddenly fell in the sky. The woman shuddered and tightened her clothes. Seeing that she was cold, Dorgon was about to take off his cloak for her, but he heard someone calling from behind: " Ma'am, the weather has changed, I will take you home for my husband!"

The woman ran to him with a smile, and he tied the cloak he had prepared for her, and she replied with a smile, "Okay!"

When her husband saw Dorgon, his complexion changed, he hurriedly protected her behind him, and looked at him warily. At this time, the woman pulled his sleeve, whispered something in his ear, and ran to Dorgon. The side said: "Guest, I'm going home. The weather has changed, so hurry up and find a place to live!"

Dorgon nodded, stopped the guards from chasing him, and watched her and her husband hold hands and yell at the sheep until they disappeared.

Snowflakes danced wildly, goose feathers fluttered, and the beautiful mountains and rivers soon turned into a world covered in silver. Dorgon turned around and got into the carriage, and left in the opposite direction.

The wheels imprinted deep car marks on the snow, the wheel, the long road covered with snowflakes, the people on the carriage smiled and walked into eternal sleep...
