MTL - Emperor’s Conquest-Chapter 41 Affectionate

Summer hustle and heat faded away, autumn sense gradually came.

On the day my brother returned to Beijing, the weather was clear after the rain, the sky was clear, and the sky and clouds covered the distant mountains.

Outside the Chaoyang Gate, Jingying fluttered, yellow umbrellas and green fans, Zhu Pailong Banner, and the honor of the Governor of the river, King Jiangxia came. The elder brother's purple robe belt, Yunjin Fenghua rolled over, first riding over the crowd. This man who shines like a star and the man who dumped countless young girls in Emperor Jing is my proud brother. I stood beside Xiao Yan, staring deeply at my brother. For one year, the softness of Jiangnan's rain and rain, instead of adding love to him, he carved a little calmness between his eyebrows. Xiao Yan and his elder brother stood on their shoulders and marched side by side. The elder brother bowed his head slightly, and with a smile, it seemed to me that Xiumei raised his eyebrows slightly, and his faint demeanor of his father's status was extremely faint. At this point, my dear two men, holding their arms together, finally stood together.

Too late to wash off the dust, his brother rushed to Ci'an Temple to worship his mother. Before the mother's spirit, our two siblings were facing each other quietly, as if I could feel the mother's gentle gaze on our eyes.

Another spring, summer, autumn, and winter passed silently, my mother was gone, my brother came back, and I broke through countless wind swords and frost swords.

"Ama", my brother called me softly, his eyes filled with deep sadness, "Brother is really stupid."

I leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled slightly. "Stupid brother makes me bully."

My brother rubbed my head and caught me. "Smelly girl, it's still so stubborn."

I closed my eyes and laughed, "Who makes you so stupid."

"You have been wronged all these years." The elder brother sighed lowly, the scent of hibiscus on the placket was warm and calm, "in the future the elder brother will always be by your side and will not let you alone."

I leaned on his shoulders and closed my eyes tightly so that tears would not fall.

When I returned to Beijing with my elder brother, in addition to a few Ji Ji, there was also a villain that surprised me. Shi Yan Zhu Yan gave birth to her brother Yu Yuxue's lovely daughter, named Qing Yi. The elder brother said that, among his children, Qing Yi looks most like me when I was young. I don't know if it is because of this sentence, even Xiao Xiao, who has always been away from children, loves this child.

After bathing at night, I had wet hair, and lazily leaned on the broth, waiting for the long hair to dry.

Xiao Yan was by his side, while watching the twists and turns, playing with my wet hair.

I thought about Qing Yi ’s lovely appearance, and suddenly came up with a whisper, “Let ’s bring Qing Yi up to be a daughter, okay?” Xiao Huan froze, and his face was immediately covered with frost. Yes, don't think about it all day long. "I lowered my head, my heart was dark, and I was speechless. He embraced me, his eyes soft, "when you get better, we will have our own children."

I do n’t want to overdo it, and smiled reluctantly, and turned away, "Qing Yi didn't get out of the way. When my brother marries Zheng Fei in the future, I don't know if I can meet her."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "It's hard to say, Wang Xi Ji Ji is in a group. If the future Princess Jiang Xia is half jealous of you, I'm afraid the house will be restless."

Seeing me raising his eyebrows and glaring at him, Xiao Yan busily smiled and changed his mouth. "It can be seen that Qiren's blessing is really deceiving."

"Really, I remember someone who seemed to have had the blessing of Qi people." I smiled at him.

Xiao Yan coughed awkwardly, "Nothing to mention about old things ..."

In October of the 2nd year of Yongli, the prince Xian led the marshal and the 300,000 South Army army division to return.

The captured Southern Clan was escorted to Beijing together. In the past, the princes and relatives of the past were reduced to prisoners under the ranks, and they were imprisoned across the city.

Xiao Yi led a hundred officials out of the city to meet, and personally led the public to visit the camp. Xiao Yan in the Chaotang is the regent above him, while Xiao Yan in the Chaotang still has not given up the bravery of the warriors.

I stood in the main hall of the Yin Wangfu House, with my eyes closed slightly, thinking about the grandeur of the army outside the Chaoyang Gate, the banner of the sun, and the glorious appearance of the sun. I saw a clear face in front of me-Xiao Yan proud shore, my elder brother elegant, Song Huaien silent and firm, Hu Guanglie Feeling alive ... Finally, it was the back of Bai Xuesheng Xue when Ziyu was leaving.

At this moment, I brought a royal family to stand in the newly completed Xianwang Mansion and welcome the son-in-law back.

The setting sun outside the door fainted in front of the sky, and it was time to return.

I slowly stepped out of the door of the temple and set foot on the red felted sands' martyrdom. Qian Jin's veil rolled up like a fly, leading the Chinese people behind to welcome Zi Zi's car.

The guard of honor was in front of the house. As soon as the elder brother rode on the white horse, the purple eagle carved a saddle, and the **** of abundance was like a jade. Behind him was a car ride, with curtains hanging down from all sides, but no child was seen. My brother was dismounted and stood beside me. The housekeeper sang, "Welcome His Royal Highness to the House-"

The front curtain was lifted by the waiter, and a pale slender hand protruded, leaning on the waiter's arm, a cough came from behind the curtain. Once hitting the children of the azure dragon robe, the golden crown and the purple sapphire jade belt, they were carried on the side by the left and right, and the wide robes and wide sleeves were blown up by the wind. The setting sun glowed on his snow-white face, as if transparent.

I settled on him, my heart was choking and I couldn't breathe. Everyone at the left and right bowed down to see the salute, and I leaned down stiffly. When I lifted my eyes, I saw the child looking at me quietly, and the warmth of his eyes suddenly disappeared into a faint smile.

The elder brother stepped forward and stood among us, holding one's arm with one hand, holding my shoulder with one hand, and laughing with his usual puppet smile. The ceremony is waived. You haven't seen the newly-built Xianwang Mansion, but it took a lot of hard work for Grandma, even my Shuyu Bieyuan could not reach it. "

I smiled and looked sideways, "His Royal Highness the King has been working hard and rested for a while. Tonight, Grandma has prepared a thin wine, and used the new residence to wash the high dust."

"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness." Ziyi smiled lightly, failing to say a word, suddenly covering his lips and coughing again and again.

I was frightened, looking at my brother, touching his anxious eyes, and feeling anxious.

At the beginning of the lantern festival, the banquet opened a new residence.

During the dinner, the silk bamboo lingered, and the chips were staggered, and if you saw the former royal prosperity again. Sitting in the first seat, Ziyi has changed into a faint blue shirt. After three rounds of wine, a strange blush was revealed on his cheek, but his face was almost pale. Even the left and right seemed to be aware of his fault, and stopped to steal the glass. He still filled himself with wine and kept toasting.

I frowned and looked at my brother. The brother got up and laughed, "I haven't seen the moonlight of Puyuan for a long time, Ziyu, would you like to see with me?"

Ziyi was a little drunk, but he didn't smile. He let his brother pick him up forcibly, took the hip flask in one hand, and walked away slightly with his feet.

I rubbed the painful forehead, but the sound of buzzing from the left to the right came from my ears.

I got up and looked around, and there was no silence all around.

"It's getting late, and His Royal Highness has already left the party, and I'll end this feast today, everyone is gone." I said lightly, and walked away, not willing to do more with the embattled royal relatives. Entangled. These people rely on a bit of cranial blood, full of food all day long, high toes, and once reduced to the flesh of others' swords. Speaking of which there are many of my uncles, there are many famous men in those days, but today I am in front of me in every possible way, seeing all the colors. I stepped out of the main hall, was blown by the evening breeze, was so cold all over the body, my head was sober, and I couldn't help laughing. It really became more and more Xiao Xiao, and he was used to looking at the family from the position of the Han people.

"Where is King Jiang Xia?" I frowned, but there was no trace of him or his son in the courtyard.

"Return to the concubine, King Jiang Xia has sent His Royal Highness His Highness back to the Dormitory to rest."

I nodded slightly, and ordered others to stay here, and only took A Yue to go straight to Ziyu Palace. I walked to the front porch of the hall, and suddenly I saw a figure in the back of the quiet place.

"Who's here?" I calmed down and asked.

The man was startled, only listening to a soft familiar voice trembling, "Cai Wei sees the princess." It was her again, and I was relieved before I thought it was Xiao Yanbu's eyes and ears.

"Why are you alone here late at night?" I was upset in my heart, and it was even more displeasing to see her lingering here, and I could not help but be strict. Gu Caiwei knelt down on her knees, her face full of embarrassment, but stubbornly braced her neck and bit her lip without speaking.

I sighed and pity her for being delirious, but I respected her persistence a little, "Did you forget what I said to you that day?" She bowed her head quietly, "The princess taught that day, Cai Wei kept it in her heart. .But, the heart sent it, no complaints and regrets, Cai Wei was wrong in this body, did not dare to have extravagant desires, thoughts and actions, but only from the heart. "I will definitely look at her, this weak and weak Woman, at any time, will be swept by fate to an unknowable distance. Although she inevitably resents herself, she has the courage to say such things, and she can admire them without fear of worldly opinions.

"Get up." I sighed. "From your heart, it's rare that you have the courage ... you can come with me." She stood up blankly, timidly followed me, and walked into the temple together.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the temple, an empty glass was thrown out, and then his brother's helpless voice sounded, "Zi, how can you drink like this to die?"

I stood at the door, and the two men fighting for the hip flask turned around at the same time, watching me hold on. I was anxious and annoyed that my brother didn't know what to do. At this time, I also tolerated Ziji and alcoholism. My brother took the embarrassment from the maid's hand and wiped the wine stains casually. "I can't see him anymore, you came just right." Ziyi glanced at me, his eyes were confused, and he turned to start pouring wine for himself.

"I have told the doctor to come here, there is me, you go back first." I looked at my brother, his brother seemed to want to say something, but shook his head and smiled, "Okay."

I leaned over and said, "I need to bother you now to send this Gu sister back home."

My brother noticed that Gu Caiwei behind me couldn't help it.

Gu Caiwei's face was ashamed and she said nothing.

Watching them go away, I smiled helplessly, there are enough sad people in this world, one less is one.

The left and right attendants retreated far away.

I stood in front of Ziyu, but he ignored it and poured his wine to toast. The pale and slender hand, holding the cup, clearly shook slightly. I grabbed his hip flask in a split hand, opened my mouth and drank. The wine poured by the waterfall splashed my face and face, and the entrance was cold and spicy, forcing me to tears. He leaned forward and pulled my cuff. With a squeaking noise, I raised my hand and threw the flask, and it fell into pieces.

"You want to drink, I accompany you." I look back at him coldly, this sentence seems to have known each other, but now it sounds like a knife. Zi Xi has always been bad at drinking alcohol. Whenever, he also learned to drink such violent wine. He stared at me drunkenly, separated by a mist of water, but there was a flash of water in the depths of his eyes.

"Who the **** are you? Grandma won't look like this, you ... you're not her." Ziyi looked straight at me, already pale as a face, becoming more and more scared,

My heart was miserable, but I had to laugh, "Yes, I am no longer the old grandma, and you are no longer the former son."

"You ..." The child stared, "much like the mother-in-law."

He suddenly smiled, fell back on the chair, and looked confused, "How did Grandma become a mother? I'm really drunk ... Grandma won't change. She said she would wait for me to come back. Waiting for me in the Temple of Light! "

I can't let him talk any longer, and I can't stop this lingering voice. I bit my lip fiercely, took up half a glass of residual wine on the table, and splashed his face, "Zi, you can see clearly, Grandma has changed, and everyone in the world has changed, but you alone are not willing to change That's it! "The wine dripped from his eyebrows, his face raised, his eyes closed, and his tears falling down the corners of his eyes.

I restrained my heart from sadness and laughed awkwardly, "Who told me in the past that nothing is more precious than life! As long as I live, there will be hope! I have spent so much thought to make you live a good life Go down, but you ... how can you hurt yourself like this? "I could n’t say it anymore, and then retreated, only to feel discouraged." If you think you have hurt yourself repeatedly, I will regret it ... Then you are thinking wrong ! "

I resolutely turned around and no longer wanted to see his self-abandonment. Even a glance at it was a pain I couldn't bear.

"Ama!" A low cry came from behind him, listening to his ears, very sad. I was suffocated in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel suddenly hugged by him from behind. His cold lips fell to my neck, warm tears, cold lips entangled in my hair, desperate, hot and lingering ... This embrace is so familiar, familiar and nostalgic.

"Don't go, don't leave me." His hands clasped tightly around my waist, hooping me immovably, as if using all his strength to grab the last driftwood.

"Everything has changed, and we can never go back." I closed my eyes and burst into tears. "Zi, please wake up and live well!"

He trembled, holding me and not letting go. I no longer struggled, and let him hug me quietly, motionless.

For a long time, a long time, I finally gritted his teeth and broke his arms, and ran out of the temple door, and never looked back.

The captured Jiangnan clan, who was convicted of the crime, immediately condemned the dead, his family members or exiles, or degraded into a church; those who did not have enough evidence and convicts were put in a prison, tortured, or confessed, or committed hatred. . Within two months, all the old golden branches and jade leaves were scattered and dried up.

The earliest Yuejun county reported the heavenly auspiciousness, saying that the north had dragon clouds rising, and the sun was covering the sun; then the counties in the world went on the table, or the heavens appeared, and the two days were suspended in the sky; Mang rushed away from the night; the **** turtle came out of Luoshui, and the book was published .... I do n’t know when to start circulating a folk ballad in Jingjing Street Market. The most popular sentence is, "Exercise, double candle." . Seems like an ordinary feast, but some people would say, “Ziji two words, the homophonic sounds of nature, and double is two, the candle homonym, the implied meaning is,“ Tianji exhausted, calendar two masters ” And pour. " As soon as this statement came out, the streets and lanes scrambled to recite this sentence, and some people even talked privately in the palace.

Xiao Zhe, the state and county, played the book of Xiangrui, and he did not know anything about it. He only knew about the market rumors. The courtiers became more and more impenetrable to him, and secretly speculated, afraid to talk lightly.

Everyone knows that the young emperor is now very ill. He lives in the deep palace all year round, and the royal family's roots are exhausted. Only the virtuous king is left to succeed the emperor.

In Fuyunxuan, the leaves are sprinkled with gold.

My elder brother and I were playing against each other with great joy. Although Xiao Xun was not good at this, he stood aside with a smile, watching chess without saying a word.

This game was started by the elder brother's black eye. At first, the elder brother grabbed the field and then took frequent examinations. I went step by step, and seemed to retreat. I deliberately sold a flaw in the middle of the day, leading my brother to make a fast break, and rushed to run a few solitons in the mid-abdomen.

"Good means, good kill!" Xiao Min laughed with his palm.

The elder brother was thinking for a long time, and he was waiting for the fall. He heard Xiao Yu's words, and then he shook his hands again. He groaned, "You are a gentleman when watching chess."

I smiled and said, "Luo Zi is a villain with remorse."

The elder brother shrank to half his hands and froze there, staring at me, and had to fall in place.

Xiao Xiao's chess course also showed that his elder brother was seeking his own way. He laughed, looked at me, and both laughed.

A piece of fallen leaves fluttered into Xuan, and it just fell on the alder chessboard. The golden fallen leaves, agate chess pieces and the ancient wood texture contrasted with each other.

"No more, no more!" My brother simply gave up and gave up, sighing, "But women and villains are difficult to raise."

Those who dare to laugh at Xiao Xuan like this now are afraid that besides me, there is only brother. The two of them have very different opinions on their temperament background. Originally they had different opinions. The older brother regarded Xiao Yan as a sloppy man, and Xiao Yan regarded his brother as a pair of pants. Now letting go of prejudices and walking to one place, I realize that each other is a temperament. In North Korea, I got along with each other privately, but I was quite interested, and I had a good conscience. Rarely today, both of them have leisure. They are smiling, a housekeeper bowed in. "Master Qi Qi, Wu Weihou asked to see outside the hall."

Xiao Yu converged to a smile, frowned slightly, and frowned.

"Is Hu Guanglie still noisy?" I smiled and shook my head.

"You are entertaining. I'll see what crazy Mad Hu is." Xiao Yan also smiled, nodded slightly towards his brother, and turned away.

My brother played with an agate chess piece, smiled, and asked me, "Why is this Hu's girl?"

"What's wrong with Hu?" I looked up at my brother.

"It's not that you can't pick out a lady in the gate. This Hu is very young. I heard that my temperament is very hot. How can I match my daughter-in-law? Isn't this a messy point? Looking to the side, she was full of handsomeness, and it reminded me of Zi Yu's gloomy frown, and I felt a sting in my heart. Since that night, in the name of healing, he neither enters the palace nor enters the palace, and stays closed at the King's Mansion all day.

I never stepped into the King's Mansion again, but Xiao Ye went to visit the King's Mansion personally. I said that he was not willing to go with the disease, and Xiao Ye didn't insist. My elder brother often went in and out of Xianxian Wangfu, and from time to time I gave Ziyi's favorite poetry, calligraphy, paintings and tonics. I heard my brother said that Ziyi is very indifferent nowadays, although he is not talkative, but he is no longer drunk and is willing to take medicine. But my brother, as Jaisuke, was busy with his official duties and couldn't accompany his son-in-law often.

At the same time, Xiao Xuan urged me to choose a concubine for my son-in-law, and I also passed day by day.

Jinger has gradually grown up, and eventually cannot be ill for a long time. Xiao Xun had already thought of abandoning Li, and his son-in-law would succeed to emperor sooner or later. His princess is the candidate of the future queen, and also the lord of the sixth house in name. Xiao Xuan attaches great importance to this, and he wants to choose a daughter of the power minister in the army and place it next to Zi Xuan. I can't directly disobey his will. I can only try to choose a good and loyal woman during the draft.

Originally, I didn't have much hope for the daughter of the chosen gatekeeper. I just randomly ordered a few girls to be elected. I never thought that one of them would make me look.

"You haven't seen Hu. How could she be bad? Hotness isn't necessarily bad." I picked up the dead leaf and played with a smile, "Siluo is not an only child, and she wants to hold trees."

The elder brother's expression seemed to be realized, "You said Zi Zi is Shi Luo?"

I looked up and sighed, "The former daughter-in-law was weak willow, but now it is a dead vine. Only by letting him intertwin with the strong arbor, maybe he can get back to life."

The elder brother silently raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't it Hu's tree you chose, but his tree?"

I smiled dumbly, but couldn't answer my brother's question. Who is whose good wood, who can rely on his life, I am afraid no one in the world can say clearly.

Not only did his brother question this marriage, but Hu Guanglie also refused to marry his younger sister into the royal family. For this reason, he recklessly rebelled against Xiao Xiao and made troubles five times. This rough man really loves his half-sister, just as the older brother cherished me. If I hadn't seen Hu Yao with my own eyes, I would have never imagined that Hu Guanglie would have such a beautiful and lovely sister. Although Hu Yao is young, he does not have the appearance of an ordinary little girl, and he does not have the arrogance of famous Shuyuan. His words and deeds show a straightforward manner, and there is a sense of brilliance. Seeing her red shirt that day, her face was dizzy, and she smiled brightly towards me. I felt suddenly illuminated by the early spring sunshine. With such a woman around, no matter how deep the haze is, it will dissipate. Looking at Hu Yao, even I felt myself dim. She has youth, vigor, and vitality, and I have only a heart hardened by years. Perhaps only a woman as clear and firm as her will be a good companion of Ziyi.
