Imperial capital, Imperial City, xuanming palace.
Emperor Xingping looked at her niece, Princess Qingxin, not far away. The 18-year-old golden branches and jade leaves had fully revealed the natural beauty of her mother. Even though I was wearing only plain clothes and a round and unadorned hairpin, sitting there quietly, I still felt so beautiful that I wanted to admire it unconsciously.
Such a beauty, no matter in prosperous or turbulent times, is entitled to win a legend of beauty and misfortune.
It's a pity
First the Shen family, then the Su family, and now Huo Zhaoyu. It's not convenient to contact when it's in the filial piety period, or there are enough capable women in the backyard to stare at. Even though emperor Xingping tried everything, he couldn't find the opportunity.
Recently, he has been looking for insufficient candidates.
Wei Xinyong is not interested in marriage at all.
Shen Shuming fell in love with this unique look, but the elders behind him had planned for him, and he was not willing to let him go.
Emperor Xingping believed that his niece, even if she was a little girl, would not be able to get ahead with her love. The problem is that Wei's room will decline again. Now she is not dead. The hall princess is rushing to make a little girl for a reading boy How can Shenjia look up?
The less face you have, the more face you need to keep.
Although emperor Xingping hoped to save his life with the help of this beautiful niece, he also knew that although Qingxin was beautiful, there was no city proper for her beauty. Compared with those concubines who have been involved in sex affairs, her only strength is that she is a princess, a real princess.
Without this heavy identity to raise her price, even if she can be favored for a while by virtue of her beauty, it will not become a climate after all.
It's just that although Weishi is still alive, it's no different from nothing. How long can Qingxin be a princess?
It's impossible to rely on this niece to protect her life.
Emperor Xingping thought over and over again, and thought that it would not work if he didn't listen to that suggestion.
He stroked his beard, and Wen Yan said to Qingxin, who looked at him silently for a long time and seemed a little nervous: "I have something for you to do."
Princess Qingxin had lost her pride when she was a child. Although she was not very close to her uncle, she knew instinctively that it was better not to disobey him. Although emperor Xingping has been a puppet since he came to power, her Princess is not worth anything. At the moment, although I don't know what emperor Xingping wants her to do, I still carefully said, "yes."
"Take a chance to give this letter to Shen Shuming." Emperor Xingping took out a letter which had been prepared for a long time from his sleeve, and said, "take another message, let him read it, and then soak it in water again."
Princess Qingxin got up to take the letter and found it was sealed. She took a sip of her mouth and tried to say: "Uncle Huang, in the letter?"
She knew that emperor Xingping was afraid of Huo Zhaoyu, and Huo Zhaoyu was very critical that the Xiliang army would not consider returning to Xiliang until Shen zanning got married to the full moon.
On this eye joint bone, Emperor Xingping wants to hand in a letter to Shen Shuming that he has not read She's really worried.
She knew how cruel her brother-in-law was.
What's so strange about being able to deal with people who have always treated and trusted Su Xiuming like that and the Shen family's children? Even Huo Zhaoyu's only sister is married to the Shen family. When the capital city was broken, the Shen family arranged for her to hide in the secret chamber with Shen cangning.
But how much does Huo Zhaoyu care about this sister? There is nothing that can't be abandoned these days. Didn't Xu Zongwen send all his sons and nephews to the emperor to be human beings?
Qingxin's mind is in a mess. She is worried that she will be involved in this matter. She knew that Huo Zhaoyu and Angie knew what she had said to Wei Changfeng. Huo Zhaoyu hasn't had a picture with her since she arrived at the imperial capital. She doesn't have a chance to make amends with her brother-in-law Angie came to question her and beat her.
It was Emperor Xingping who rushed to Yuanchang, but Qingxin knew that Angie would not let her go as long as there was a reason.
Angie tried to descend to Huo Zhaoyu in order to live a stable life and stay away from the messy things of the royal family.
But she dragged her and her son-in-law back
"You don't have to worry about that." Emperor Xingping said lightly, "you just need to remember. If Angie asks what you wrote in your letter, you will say that the world is not peaceful now. You want to find a safe home, OK?"
"If it is such a letter, my niece can write it by herself," said Princess Qingxin
"Do you really think Shen Shuming will pay you back?" Emperor Xingping looked deeply at the beautiful niece, who was not intelligent enough, and said, "do you think Shen family will agree?"
"He said he would ask his little aunt My niece and Shen zanning used to be very good. " Princess Qingxin's way is not enough.
When she said this, she remembered that when Shen zanning came out of the pavilion, although she was also invited to congratulate her, after the meeting, they had lost the kindness they had when they were young, and even had nothing to say
Emperor Xingping said lightly, "have you forgotten who your four sisters in law are? It's Shen zanning's first sister! The royal family has never done such a wrong thing, but they boast that they will never do it! It's impossible for the Shen family to let Shen Shuming marry you. What's more, Shen zanning is just a Shen's daughter who has left the pavilion. How much do you think Shen Shuming, the eldest son of Shen's parents' house, can talk about? "“……” Qingxin is silent.
Although she is not smart enough, she also knows that Da Wei is like this now. If she doesn't take advantage of her young beauty to find a reliable husband, once Da Wei dies, there is absolutely nothing to wait for her.
But Wei Xinyong is not moved by her beauty. Shen Shuming is moved but may not be able to pass the Shen family What is she going to do?
After a moment of stalemate, Emperor Xingping slowed down his speech: "can I still hurt you? You silly child, although the lives of our uncles and nephews can't be said to be completely linked, I can only rely on you! "
Qingxin looked at emperor Xingping doubtfully and said, "my niece is scared. How can I be the support of Uncle Huang?"
"There was Zhen MI in ancient times. Qing Xin's appearance is not necessarily worse than that of Zhen." Emperor Xingping said kindly, "so don't be afraid. I can still count on you in the future."
Qingxin bit her lips. She felt that there was something in emperor Xingping's words, not just a hint of learning Zhen MI. But what does it mean without obvious clue? He simply asked, "please give me some advice, uncle Huang. This letter?" Just now emperor Xingping said that Shen Shuming may not be able to accomplish this. Is this letter going to change anything?
Strange to say, Qingxin, the candidate of Shen Shuming, never thought of it, because she also knew that Shen Shuming was the nephew of her four sisters in law. It was raised by Emperor Xingping before
"A lot of things you know are not beautiful." Emperor Xingping looked at her and said, "you don't know anything. Even if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter to you. If you know it, you will suffer. In a word, if I want to hurt you, do you think I need such trouble? "
But you have to use my words This idea rolled in Princess Qingxin's heart, but she couldn't say it.
When she was young, she lived too well and suddenly declined after the sudden change, which made her lose her pride and courage to resist at the same time - at least now she still has food and clothing, once she turned her face against emperor Xingping Princess Angie hates her again. She doesn't know what kind of fate she will fall into?
In particular, Emperor Xingping clearly told her that under normal circumstances, Shen Shuming could not still be her. Because they are not in the same generation.
So she can only tell herself that she believes in emperor Xingping: "sooner or later, the great Wei Dynasty will die. How many of the monarchs who have never died will have a good ending? Uncle Huang is expecting me to be beautiful. He will not harm me if he clings to any powerful person and can talk for him. "
She went out of xuanming palace with a low brow. Princess Qingxin looked at the looming palace between the luxuriant plants and thought about her childhood.
At that time, she was still small. She walked in the spacious and gorgeous corridor, but everywhere she went, she could only see people lower than her. Some of those who had fallen on their faces and looked up to her were no longer in the world, but some turned over to be masters.
The palace is also called Wei palace, but it's not long.
Princess Qingxin suddenly remembered that this imperial palace was not built by the great Wei Dynasty. In the previous dynasty, the Imperial Palace was built by the great powers of the whole country. However, it was not passed down for several years and then returned to the Shen family
Now Shenjia is in decline, and it seems that there is no wrong to be taken away by others.
Just why are you born at this time?
Think of sister Huang Linchuan, Lingxian Princess Qingxin couldn't help looking up at the beam above her eyes.
But after a moment's hesitation, she hobbled away with the letter in her hand.
"Maybe I should live at this time, too? Linchuan, Lingxian, these imperial sisters have the courage to die. Angie has a capable son-in-law, and she is also very capable. But I don't have Angie's ability. I dare not learn from Linchuan... " Princess Qingxin is sad to think, "even if I know who is given to me by Uncle Huang in the future, I will flatter him like this for a lifetime, I still Still want to live! "
"Bubble once? Is there any secret language? " Shen Shuming sent all the people out, opened the letter sent by Hu gongnv in the room alone, read the sad and sad words, and sighed deeply in his heart. He recalled the solemn words of the palace girl, and moved slightly in his heart, "does Qingxin want to elope with me?"
The boy who is only 16 years old has been idle before. Although Shen Shuming is familiar with etiquette and morality, he is at a time when he likes to try to violate these rules.
He was a little excited to immerse the letter in the water: "it's nothing to elope, Qingxin a woman dare, what do I have to be afraid of?"
He knew that his aunt and uncle were ashamed of the big room. Even if he eloped with Qingxin, the Shen family could not help him.
And even if they get caught, they'll get beaten at most. Other consequences will be borne by Shen family.
What's more, neither Shen Cangfeng nor Shen Jianshi can really beat him to death. He is Shen Cangli's only son. How can the two uncles explain to their father and brother in the underground?
Since the consequences are not serious, Shen Shuming moved an embroidered stool with great interest, and sat by the water basin and carefully observed the handwriting emerging between the gaps of the original letter
At this time, he did not know how regretful he would be to do so after a certain time.At that time, if he was given a chance to read this letter, he would pay any price, even if he was scared.
It's a pity that there are always some mistakes in this world. There is no chance to repent.
