People say I love Chang’an
. When Song Yu was studying in the Academy, I lived with him in the same room for two years. He always thought I was a man and his good brother. When I was studying in the Academy
with Song Yu, I lived in the same room with him for two years. He always thought I was a man and his good brother.
He doesn’t know that I’ve been coveting him for a long time. My
name is Du Nanxing, and I am the most notorious dandy in Luoyang.
Look! That’s Du Nanxing! Tu Nan-hsing has come out. Run!
Seeing my iconic white horse of sweat and blood, the big girls and little daughters-in-law on the rosefinch street screamed one after another. As he retreated and fled in panic, he could not help peeping at my face through his fingers.
woman!
I raised my hand and touched my face. Yes, the reason why I have been riding roughshod over the countryside for so many years without being beaten is that I have a good face.
The skin is like jade, the eyes are beautiful and the nose is beautiful. When a woman is beautiful, when a man is handsome, people drop their pants.
Don’t be afraid. Calm down. Tu Nan-hsing is a woman! What’s the big deal about being molested by her? Grandma Wang, who
sells sesame cakes, shouted loudly, and the rioting crowd quieted down in an instant. The crowd held their breath, and their curious eyes hit me like a searchlight.
I am busy holding my head high. I’m not wearing a chest wrap
today. I’m not blowing. Even a blind man can see my exquisite figure under a streamer brocade robe. Is
she really a woman? Eight times a day in a brothel. Is there a woman like that in the world?
A man with a square face carrying a peddler’s load questioned him, and I listened to him with sharp ears.
Fart! Three times a day at the most. Who says eight times?
I rolled up my sleeves and glared at him, but I got a blow on my forehead. I turned around and saw that my father, Yongchang Hou, was taking back the long stick in his hand, blowing his beard and staring at me.
“Star, keep your mouth shut. We’re going to talk about marriage today. Pay attention to your image.”
Oh, yes, when I think of Song Yu’s handsome face, I feel happy.
Song Yu, the word Chang’an. If I am a negative example of everyone shouting in Luoyang City, Song Yu is the legendary child of someone else’s family. At the same age of eighteen, I only knew how to fight dogs and gamble. Song Yu was already the Number One Scholar in high school, and became the editor of the Imperial Academy appointed by the emperor.
He has both talent and beauty, and his family background is noble, and the women who miss him can line up the whole rosefinch street. But what’s the use? In the end, it has to fall into my hands?
When we were studying in Bailu Academy, we lived in the same house for two years. Lonely men and women, young and vigorous, if they say that they have nothing, even I do not believe it. I pulled my hair countless times and wondered if Song Yu had plotted against me while I was sleeping.
After thinking about it for a long time, only a few hazy pictures flashed through my mind.
The first time, after I took a bath, I forgot to wear a chest wrap in a hurry. I sat on the couch with my clothes in my arms and sneezed. Song Yu walked up behind me and took a handkerchief to help me twist my hair. As he twisted, his hand slowed down and stopped on my head for a long time. I could feel his heavy breath on my neck, hot and itchy.
“Sung Chang-an, you’re a little weak. You’ve just run a few steps outside and you’re panting like this?” As soon as the
scalp tightened, Song Yu dropped the veil to cover my face and got up and got off the couch.
The second time, I came back from the toilet in the middle of the night. As soon as I entered the door, I had a pair of deep eyes. I was startled, and Song Yu’s angry voice floated over.
“Where have you been? What took you so long?”
“Why, do you have to take care of the toilet?”
Song Yu is stupefied, jade white slender finger stretches out to come over, on my forehead one flick.
“Remember to close the door when you go out. The wind is so cold, don’t give me a cold.”
With that, I was surrounded by the warmth of a large amount of pine fragrance on my shoulder.
“Put it on. Don’t pass it on to me if you have a cold.”
The third time, well, no, I don’t care. These are the evidence that I have lost my innocence. I will not marry him.
Song Fu is the imperial censor of Zuo Du. He is very elegant. At this time, he held the teacup tightly in his hand, and the decent smile on his face could hardly be maintained.
“Marquis, absolutely not!” As soon as
my father pounded the table, he stared at him with round eyes. “Why not?”? My daughter has been sleeping in the same room with your son for two years, and he has taken all the advantages. If you don’t marry him, who else can you marry?
Song Mu pinched the veil and laughed beside her.
“The Marquis — ahem, Miss Tu is very precious. We’re from a small family, and we really don’t deserve it.”
That’s more like it. My father nodded with satisfaction and opened the dowry post in his hand and put it on the table beside him. I
know you don’t deserve it, so I can’t let you take advantage of it for nothing. I specially asked the emperor for a favor, and when they get married, my first son will have the surname of Tu, and he will go back to the Tu family to succeed me as Marquis of Yongchang.
What? Isn’t that asking me to marry her?
Song’s father and mother, like being struck by lightning, were stunned together. I know they must scold in the heart, this God damn Yongchang Hou, the whole family is a warrior, tyrannical, vulgar.
But what can I do? My family’s contribution is so great. My grandfather carried the first emperor out of the battlefield, and my father blocked an assassin for the new emperor. As soon as it was hot, the
old man lifted his collar in the hall, revealing a shocking scar. When the emperor saw him, he not only did not punish him for his indecency in front of the palace, but also often gave him a reward. Let’s put
it this way, my Du family, as long as it’s not to rebel, no matter what the emperor has done, he can’t haggle with us.
“Marquis, I am a single descendant of the Song family for three generations. I beg you to show mercy. We can’t cut off the incense.”
Father Sung’s face was livid, and Mother Sung was about to cry. Seeing that the situation had reached a deadlock, I quickly got up and said,
“Aunt Sung, how could you cut off the incense?”? My father only wants one grandson, and Sung Yu and I have ten or eight sons. We will never lose your share of the Sung family. There was a chuckle
outside the door, and Sung Yu lifted the curtain and walked in. Today, he wears a royal blue robe with wide sleeves, a high jade crown, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes shine in the sunlight, which is a little more charming than when he was in the Academy. As soon as
our eyes touched in the air, my heart suddenly missed a beat. Damn man, please stop emitting your charm. It’s so handsome. I’ll play the bad guy later, and I won’t be able to do it.
Seeing Sung Yu, the Sung family had a backbone in an instant. Sung’s father breathed a sigh of relief. Sung’s mother stepped forward and held her son’s arm: “Jade, explain to the Marquis quickly. You didn’t ruin Miss Du’s innocence.”. Miss Tu disguised herself as a man and befriended many of the men in the Academy. How can this be blamed on us alone?
How dare I refuse to admit it? Anxious, I walked up to Sung Yu and pulled his arm toward me. “Good brother,” I said in a low voice, “I’m usually good to you. If you recognize this, you will be in good stead.”
Song Yu raised his eyebrows.
“What good will I lose my life?”
Had not waited for me to put forward a condition, Song Mu suddenly used a shameless trick.
She took my hand and used all the beautiful words to praise me, such as Yushu Linfeng’s superb gambling skills, which made my father’s toes dig on the ground. Miss
Tu is so excellent that I really want to hire her as my daughter-in-law. Daughter, it’s a pity we don’t have fate. Our daughter has already been engaged to her cousin.
I took her hand in mine and smiled warmly. “Aunt Sung, if that’s the case, I can only blame my cousin for being a little girl. I think he will be very happy if my aunts love my son.” Then
I put my hands on my stomach and winked at Song Yu.
Song Yu one is stupefied, the corner of the mouth obviously pumped, unexpectedly did not speak to deny. He couldn’t deny it, because my father had jumped up and put a knife to his father’s neck.
Damn it, even my grandson has been tossed out, and you’re still pretending here! Get me married at once!
At the request of my father, the Song family took all the three media and six hires within three days. The wedding was very grand. My father almost emptied the family property. One hundred and eighty dowries were more decent than emperor’s marriage to the princess.
Wealth moved people’s hearts, and the world turned from envying me to envying Song Yu. After all, marrying me was tantamount to lying flat on the golden hill. On
the wedding night, when Song Yu lifted the veil, I saw a flash of surprise in his starry eyes.
I pursed my lips and smiled, and the corners of my mouth were dimly visible. I knew it was beautiful, and I couldn’t help it if I was a man.
Sure enough, Song Yu is just an ordinary man, his hand reached over, lifted my robe, pressed on my flat abdomen.
“When did you conceive it, and I don’t even know?”
“It depends on your ability.”
I reached out and hooked Song Yu’s neck.
Sung Yu chuckled and bit my ear, his voice hoarse. “Little liar, how can you hide it so well?”
My heart was beating like a drum, my mind was blank, and I tried to calm down. I can’t lose. What scene haven’t I experienced?
I gritted my teeth, pushed his face away, puffed out my chest and laughed twice.
“Oh, are you satisfied with what you see?”
Song Yu increased the strength of his hand, and all my strength seemed to slip away along his hand.
He chuckled, his chest trembled, and his voice was as clear as a string.
“Well, not bad.”
Soon, he couldn’t laugh.
Because I glanced down and said, “Let me see if you have the same capital.”
Sung Yu gnashed his teeth and said, “Tu Nan-hsing, you really refuse to admit defeat in any situation.”
“Each other.”
I put my legs around his waist, and from my line of sight, I could see his strong brow bone and clean jaw line.
This man, damn it, is really growing every inch according to my heart.

On the second day, we went to offer tea to my parents-in-law. As soon as she entered the main room, Song’s mother nervously came over and took Song Yu’s hand.
His eyes were blue and blue, and he knew at a glance that he had not slept well last night.
“Oh, Nanxing, our girl is a beginner. You should take it easy.” As soon as the
voice fell, Song Yu’s eyebrows twitched, and Song’s father lowered his head in embarrassment.
I smiled and reached out to embrace Song Yu’s waist.
“Easy to say, easy to say.” After
offering tea, Song Yu’s face was still not good. It was his own mother who made him unhappy, but she asked me to be angry with him. Naturally, I didn’t do it. When I got to the
garden, I saw no one around and gave him a quick twist in the face.
“Little girl, give me a smile.”
Song Yu’s face is darker.
Don’t laugh? Then I’ll give you a smile.
Sung Yu couldn’t help but laugh, and then habitually flicked his finger at my forehead.
“Are you sleepy? Would you like to go back to catch up on your sleep?”
“Cousin, brother Nanxing.”
Not far away, under the flowers, stood a beautiful young girl. On such a big day, she wore a plain white moon dress, coupled with a pale face, as if she was going to attend a funeral for someone. When I
saw her, I remembered that what my mother-in-law had said about my cousin was not an excuse.
My cousin’s name is Gu Wanrong. As her name suggests, she is graceful and gentle. She lost her father at an early age and has been living with her widowed mother in the Song family. When we
were still in Bailu Academy, we often went out to play together, and we often received all kinds of snacks from our cousin. I followed suit, and most of the delicate snacks went into my stomach.
At this time to see the Lord, I do not know why, I suddenly have a sense of shame to be a thief.
My cousin’s eyes were staring at the arm of Song Yu on my shoulder, and her eyes were slowly red.
“Star, go back to your room first. I have something to say to my cousin.”
Song Yu was more uncomfortable than I was. He gave a low cough and motioned to his cousin to follow.
The two men went around to the back of the flowers and blocked the view outside.
If he asks me to go back to my room, I will go back to my room. Does this girl want to lose face? With a cold hum,
I shrank my neck and crept up to eavesdrop.
“Wanrong, let bygones be bygones.”
Cousin, it was you who promised me! Now that you’re married, what about me? What am I? What are my feelings for so many years?
Cousin’s voice with a clear cry, Song Yu look embarrassed, low voice said a few words.
My cousin suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into Song Yu’s arms. Song Yu was silent for a long time, sighed and stroked her back.
I crouched outside the flowers and felt as if I had been punched in the chest. It’s not that
I can’t accept my predecessor, but since you are so affectionate, Song Yu worked too hard last night, right?
Bah! Men really don’t have a good thing!
Fortunately, my purpose is not simple. This round, we’re even.
I married into the Song Mansion in order to find something that could kill my father, the Marquis of Yongchang.
Song Yu, I naturally like it. But if he doesn’t like me, it’s not a big deal.
Two-legged toads are hard to find, and three-legged men are running everywhere.
I quickly picked myself up and tried to pretend to get along with Song Yu without any hard feelings. Only when I went to bed at night, I refused him on the pretext that I was not feeling well.
I know I shouldn’t be like this, but what can I do? I am very angry!
Fortunately, Song Yu did not find that I was always a qualified fine work.
After a few days of peace, I finally found a chance for Song Yu to go to the study alone. The study of the
Song family is very large, hidden behind a clump of green bamboos, especially quiet and quiet in the hot summer sun. Wearing a thin gauze skirt,
I rolled up my sleeves and began to rummage bit by bit on the rosewood bookshelf against the wall.
Just as my hand touched a delicate plum vase, Song Yuqing’s voice appeared behind my back.
“Looking for something, huh?”
The last word almost clung to my earlobe, Song Yu’s whole body clung to my back, and a familiar pine fragrance penetrated the tip of my nose. The
cold tone reminded me of my cousin’s cold face in the garden that day.
I became irritable in an instant.
“Look for a book. What are you doing sticking it so close? It’s so hot!”
Song Yu stepped back, and his jade-like eyes were so dark and turbulent that people could not figure them out.
Looking for a book? Hsing’er, I haven’t seen you turn over a book in two years at White Deer Academy.
Shit, what a bad excuse that doesn’t fit my character. My heart was beating wildly and I laughed a few times.
“Ha ha, isn’t that the past? Now that I’m married to the Number One Scholar, I can’t promote myself, otherwise I won’t be qualified to add fragrance to my red sleeves.”
I do not know which words please Song Yu, he looked down at me, lips slightly up.
“It’s rare that a wife is willing to make such progress and help you find it for her husband.”
Song Yu deceived me and trapped me between his arms.
He rummaged on the bookshelf with one hand over my head, his thin lips close to my ears, and his hot breath ran down my neck into my thin gauze skirt.
“What kind of books does your wife like to read?”
The voice was dull, provocative, and intoxicating.
Damn it, he played tricks on me. I pushed him in the chest and glared at him angrily.
Song Yu lowered his eyes and smiled, and between his handsome eyebrows, he was full of brilliance, implying graceful romance.
My legs are suddenly weak.
The enemy’s fire is too fierce. What can I do? Of course, it’s a counterplot.
I stood on tiptoe and nibbled on his chin.
“Whatever you like to see, I like to see.”
Song Yu’s Adam’s apple rolled suddenly, lowered his head, and covered my lips. When I was pressed by
him on the bookshelf, I couldn’t turn the corner.
Blue sky and white sun, study? What about
the gentleman?
But then the feeling of familiarity came, and my mind went blank. Before I
lost my balance, I grabbed the plum bottle in front of me. Hands can not help but a force, the plum bottle along my strength turned half a circle. The other side of
the bookshelf moved slowly to the side, revealing a small darkroom.
Oh, oh!
How does it end! Both of
us had a moment of silence. At the critical moment, Song Yu reached out to cover my eyes and finished the unfinished business.
So, man, hehe.
Star, my father is an imperial censor, and there are many things in this darkroom that cannot be made public. Don’t come to the study anymore, do you know?
Song Yu made light of it and took my hand and left the study.
I didn’t look back, look or not, everything was there and I couldn’t run away.
Pick a day, I went back to my mother’s home.
Dad pulled me aside to whisper.
“Is he good to you?”
“It’s all right.”
“Did you find it?”
I nodded.
“I found a dark room in the study. I’ll give you the picture, and you can ask the shadow to get it.”
“Ah, Hsing-erh, you’ve wronged yourself by marrying so hastily.”
Dad was very sad, and I waved my hand. What are you
talking about? We’ve been planning for so long. What’s there to be wronged about. Father, what’s going on in the court these days? How’s the old emperor? As soon as
my father heard this, his face became even more melancholy. He pitifully played with the amulet on his waist and looked like a resentful woman. When I was
with you, I praised you for your childlike innocence. It’s not good now. I have a new person, and I’m rude and reckless. Ah, Star, men don’t have any good things.
I thought of Song Yu and nodded approvingly.
“Yeah, it’s really not a thing.”
Fortunately, the prince protected us, told us what had happened early, and gave us advice.
Star, Song Yu there, you have your own number, just play. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, your father will find you a better man than him.
I suddenly nodded, “OK, OK, you give me the shadow first!”
Shadow is the dark guard raised in our house since childhood. He has extraordinary martial arts skills. His eyebrows are somewhat similar to Song Yu’s. He is very handsome. Dad, of course, was reluctant to part with me. He said a few perfunctory words to me and sent me back to the house.
Song Yu came back with my favorite sugar steamed cheese and watched me eat it with a smile.
Crisp cheese is very sweet, a mouthful down, from the tip of the teeth has been sweet to the stomach, I looked at Song Yu’s face close at hand, full of emotion. Look at
this outfit. It’s much better than me. Now I am in love with my concubine, but his father has already United with other imperial censors, just waiting for a letter to hand over, to my Yongchang Hou Fu full of life.
When my father dies, what will Song Yu do to me? For the sake of my golden mountain dowry, it should not be too cruel to me.
Taking a spoon to stir the crisp cheese in the bowl, I suddenly didn’t want Song Yu to feel too good.
“Song Changan, let me ask you a question.”
Song Yu raised his eyes.
“If I fight with your father one day, who will you help?”
Song Yu:??
He twisted his eyebrows with a very strange expression.
“Star, why did you fight with my father?”
I shrugged my shoulders and took it for granted.
“I used to be a dandy, but maybe I still want to gamble and drink flowers. Your father’s rules are so strict that he must discipline me. Then I can’t just stand there and be beaten.”
Song Yu chuckled, reached out and stroked the cheese on my lips, rubbed it for a moment, and leaned up with her lips.
“No one can bully you in front of me, not even my father.”
My heart missed a beat and I closed my eyes.
Song Yu, if it wasn’t for my cousin, I almost believed it. The
shadow should have got something, because the next day, Song Fu was furious and disposed of several slaves in the house. He also said that valuables were missing in the study and began to look for thieves all over the house. The
servants gave me up as a matter of course, saying that I went to the study alone yesterday and stayed there alone for a long time.
Father Song squinted at me.
Nanxing, what are you doing in the study? Why did you stay so long?
I shrugged my shoulders.
“I went with Sung Yu. Why did it take so long? Father, do you want your son to hurry up?”
Father Song was stupefied and suddenly blushed, and the maids and servants around him began to whisper to each other.
“Uncle, she’s lying. My cousin was playing chess with me yesterday and didn’t go to the study.” At
the critical moment, it has to be my cousin.
Father Song ordered me to be locked up in the woodshed. There is a big crabapple tree outside the window of
the woodshed. The scenery is good, but I am a little hungry because I don’t give lunch.
I leaned against the stack of firewood and thought about Song Yu. A star of hope rises
in my heart, the lying cousin, the wronged wife, do I have to win this game? The
wooden door creaked, and my cousin came in with a food box.
The food box was laid out with several delicate snacks inside. It’s all Song Yu’s favorite food, and it’s also my favorite food.
Cousin should not be crazy enough to poison me now, right? I looked at her doubtfully. She smiled and drank tea first and ate a few snacks.
I immediately relieved, forget it, people can not always have a hard time with the food.
The cake is soft and glutinous, with sweet osmanthus and red bean stuffing inside, fragrant and sweet, just like my cousin in front of me.
“Brother Nanxing.”
My cousin still stubbornly called me that, as if she was deliberately reminding me of the unruly history of women disguised as men.
“In fact, in your position, if you are unhappy, there is no need to force yourself.”
The delicate hand rested on the back of my hand, and my cousin’s almond eyes were wet, like a misty lake. A capital question mark in
my mind wronged me, gave me a snack, and pretended to persuade me to divorce? What kind of operation is this.
I’m just a glutton, not a fool.
I waved my cousin’s hand coldly, and my cousin gave a cry of surprise, and her eyes quickly turned red. I turned my head and saw that, sure enough, Song Yu was standing in the doorway with a black face.
“Star, what are you doing?”
Nervous tone, wary look, afraid I bullied his cousin.
My heart was sour, my throat was like cotton, my mood was rolling, and I was about to open my mouth, but my cousin stole my lines.
“It’s none of your business.”
Three points of grievance, three points of injustice, three points of coquetry, men listen to the soft legs, women listen to the roll of their eyes. Before
I could roll my eyes, Song Yu was already soft. He sighed and went to appease his cousin.
I clenched my hands, and my mood changed from sour to angry and then slowly calmed down.
Guess wrong, I am willing to gamble and admit defeat.
Song Yu left with her cousin, and I still sat in the woodshed with my knees in my arms, watching the sky outside get dark inch by inch, and the gorgeous petals of the crabapple tree turned into a thick shadow. The moonlight
like water sprinkled into the window, and Song Yu’s figure appeared again.
In the house, the moon was shining, and Song Yu stepped on the moon and returned, like a banished immortal.
“Hsing-erh, my cousin has a spoiled temper. Don’t haggle with her.” Only those who
are spoiled are qualified to be spoiled. I smiled sadly and nodded sensibly. What is missing from the
mansion? Father is so angry.
Song Yu was silent for a moment and crouched down in front of me.
“The emperor is dying. The prince’s behavior is absurd. My father has evidence that he swallowed up the silver of the Henan disaster. He joined six imperial censors to report it. Now, that evidence has disappeared.” With a tremor in my
heart, I suddenly raised my head and faced Song Yu’s deep and cold eyes.
He’s lying. What his father wants to participate in is clearly my Yongchang Hou Mansion.
If what he said is true, then who is lying, the prince, or my father?
My heart was beating wildly, and I dared not think any more deeply. Song Yu put his hand on the back of my hand. His fingers were long and white, like his appearance, and looked cold and clear, but with the temperature of hot boiling soup.
Star, I answered your question the other day. Now I also have a question. If I fight with your father, who will you protect?
I managed to pull out a little smile.
“Don’t be ridiculous. My father was a military general, and the two of us together couldn’t beat one of his fingers.”
Song Yu was stunned and touched my head and stopped talking.
The theft incident was not settled, but my cousin was still a thief. From time to time, she brought snacks to our yard and said some inexplicable words.
I didn’t want to talk to her. I was lying on my back on the deck chair to enjoy the cool. I had won. There was no need to whip the corpse.
Talking about the fun of childhood sweethearts, my cousin covered her veil and smiled with a shy face. I rolled my eyes and put my hands over my ears. The
accident came unexpectedly.
Suddenly there was a noise from the servants, and the people in the house were running around, and there was a lot of screaming outside. When my cousin
and I came to the garden, the dark Royal Guards had already stood in a circle. The
prince took the lead. When
he saw me, he smiled and waved to me.
“Nanxing, where did you put your dowry?”
To my puzzled eyes, he pointed to Song Yu not far away.
The Sung family joined forces with the two princes to frame the king. The evidence is conclusive. The father has decreed that the whole family be exiled.
I’ll ask Sung Yu for a letter to release his wife, and you can take the dowry back.
I was dumbfounded, my palms were sweating, and my heart sank to the soles of my feet.
So, what Song Yu said is true, I was used.
My cousin had already rushed into Sung Yu’s arms and wept, pointing her hand at me in disbelief. You really stole it
that day. Are you the prince’s man? Du Nanxing! I was really wrong about you!
The panic passed, and I gradually calmed down. Song Yu looked at me with an expressionless face, a pair of dark eyes as if there was a fire burning.
He came to me step by step, his sleeve robe rolled up the breeze, not embarrassed, and his posture was still impeccable.
“Star, will you come with me?”
Jade-like eyes looked at me without blinking, and the mood inside was obscure and unclear, as if it implied expectation?
Yes, do not want to let me this enemy, want to take me to die, like my cousin, and treat me as a fool. Before
I could answer, the prince had rushed over, and he slapped Song Yu in the face. Song Yu’s delicate white jade crown fell to the ground and her hair fell down.
“Do you deserve to be a prisoner?”
The prince’s face was full of anger, and he slapped Song Yu twice, and then he spat at him disdainfully.
Looking at Song Yu’s red and swollen face, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. What a pity to break such a handsome face.

“Your Highness, my dowry is in the storehouse over there. I will take you there.”
I stretched out my hand and pulled the sleeve of the prince. Our backs disappeared in front of the corner. Song Yu’s clear voice suddenly came.
Du Nanxing! Not allowed to remarry within three years!
My back suddenly froze.
Neuropathy, it’s going to rain and your mother is going to get married. What do you care? Besides, who are you to sign your wife’s letter?
Song Yu so disappeared in my life, someone said, when young can not meet too amazing people, otherwise the rest of my life can not be spent in peace. I don’t believe
that. Look at me now. Is my life not peaceful? Drink tea and eat every day, listen to music and watch plays, and have a good life.
Miss, this is salt! Why did you add it to the cheese?
“Oh, no wonder it’s not sweet at all. The more you eat, the more bitter it gets.”
I dropped the spoon, and my father looked at me apologetically.
Star, I didn’t mean to hide this from you. If I had told the truth in the morning, you would have been exposed.
Sure enough, my father understands me.
I waved my hand and continued to eat the cheese.
My father sighed a long sigh.
“It’s time you found a man.”
This reminds me that there is a man in our house whom I like.
I called out the shadow, looked at his eyebrows and eyes like a distant mountain, froze for a moment, and reached out to touch it. The
shadow’s brow twisted into a knot in disgust.
“I’m a secret guard, not a boy toy.”
Then he jumped on the roof and flew away.
I’m so angry. You are not as handsome as Song Yu. I don’t want to be my boy toy.
Life was so boring that I could only go to the brothel to drink flower wine again. After drinking for a few days, the street suddenly became chaotic. The doors of
all the shops were closed, and all day long there were soldiers marching in neat rows through the streets, and my father forbade me to go out again.
According to him, the emperor’s death is in the next few days. Upward the atmosphere is very tense, the prince and the two princes tit for tat every day, almost hit the dog brain out.
My father is also very nervous, is another fifty years of wealth, or end up like the Song family, the answer will be revealed in the past few days.
Maybe I feel that the atmosphere is too depressing, and I need some happy events to ease it. Picked a Huang Chen auspicious day, the prince unexpectedly came to my house to propose marriage.
The prince held my father’s hand with a sincere face.
“Father in law, only when we become a real family can I rest assured.”
My father had a stiff face and a rare tremor in his voice.
My star has a bad reputation, and he’s married. How can he be worthy of the crown prince? What’s more, it’s really not appropriate for the emperor’s holy body to be unwell now.
The prince smiled faintly and looked down at me.
“There is a folk saying that a lonely king takes a side concubine and gives it to his father. What’s wrong with that?”.
Side concubine? You have a big ***ing face.
Before leaving, the prince made a special reminder.
“Father in law, that one hundred and eighty dowry can’t be taken away.”
My father was silly in the same place, and his appearance was somewhat funny, but no one laughed.
The prince does not need six ceremonies to marry the side imperial concubine, not to mention the tense situation now, my wedding is very hasty, that 180 dowry is the only bright spot. When the
veil was lifted, the dragon and phoenix candles in the room were burning brightly. I narrowed my eyes and saw the prince standing in front of me with a red face.
He stared at me with some surprise as if he had found out for the first time that I was a woman.
“Tu Nan-hsing, I didn’t expect you to dress up carefully. It’s not bad.”
Candles danced in his eyes and burst into orange-red light.
I smiled, rubbed my hands wretchedly, and went to pull his robe.
“It’s getting late. A night of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Your Highness, the prince, take off your clothes.” The waistband of the
wedding robe was tied with a concentric knot of “a hundred years of harmony.” It was a little complicated. I was so anxious that I pulled it a few times and spat into the palm of my hand.
“Damn it, I don’t believe you can’t untie it. Get a knife.”
The prince changed his face and pushed me away, looking unappetizing.
He stepped back in confusion and stood in half the shadow, looking uncertain.
“I don’t have to wear Sung Yu’s broken shoes to be a prince.”
Then he slammed the door and left.
I breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to take off the phoenix crown on my head and threw it on the ground.
Such a thing is worth so much thought from Dad. This game, I lost, my father also lost, our family brain is really not very good.
But what can we do? The emperor has only a few sons, the prince is absurd, the second prince is cruel, and the third prince is a lame cripple.
From the age of sixteen, the drunken second prince stopped me in the side hall, dressed in men’s clothes, and we had no choice.
The outside is still very lively, the guests are noisy and the people are noisy. I pinched the dagger and hid it in my sleeve. How appropriate such an opportunity is.
Sure enough, the second prince wanted to go with me. The noise
outside was louder, the weapons rubbed, the sergeants ran, and the screams and cries of women and children made people headache.
I was so annoyed that I pulled some cotton wool out of the quilt to plug my ears, and then scratched the table with a dagger. The black iron dagger, which
cuts iron like mud, is carved on a good yellow rosewood table, and a gentle press is a mark.
I swear I just hand itch, unconsciously pull a few times, but why wait for me to withdraw my hand, but two words appeared on the table:
Song Yu. I
‘m so angry, I’m not thinking about him! Ashamed and annoyed,
I dropped the dagger, which landed on the table with a clear “clang” sound. At the same time, the door behind me suddenly opened.
I froze in place, suddenly a little afraid to turn around and face. If the prince
comes, I should be able to be a side concubine for fifty years. If the second prince comes, it means that the old father is dead, and our whole family is finished.
The end was about to be revealed. I was very nervous. I took a deep breath and was about to turn around slowly when a big hand suddenly grasped my back waist. There was a heavy gasp
behind him, with a strange smell of alcohol and a chill.
The man was so strong that he put me on the table with one hand. My
whole body is as stiff as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
This will not be the prince, the prince lost. The hands
behind me continued to make trouble, tearing my belt as if to vent their anger, and then all the way up the waist.
I began to struggle hard, waving back the dagger in my hand.
The head slanted to one side and knocked down my dagger without any effort. He twisted my hands behind my back and leaned over me. The
cold armor poked at my shoulder bone, very cold, very painful.
A breath of hot air came to my ears.
“You said you couldn’t remarry. Tu Nan-hsing, can’t you wait so soon?”
Sound like buckled jade, like rustling snow.
Shit, Song Yu, the big bastard.
My eyes quickly accumulated water light, do not know why, suddenly wronged. I twisted my hand hard, Song Yu loosened slightly, turned me over, and we faced each other.
He was dressed in cold armor, his face was clear and cold, and there was a touch of blood on his forehead, which ran down his eyebrows to the corners of his eyes, making his eyes scarlet.
Seeing my tears, Song Yu was obviously stunned, and then the blood in his eyes was more abundant, and he gnashed his teeth and lowered his head.
“It wasn’t the prince who came. Are you so disappointed?”
Then he continued to pull my belt, and I was so rudely treated by him that I was frightened and angry. Without thinking about it, he raised his hand and slapped it hard.
“Pow!” After a moment of silence, Song Yu’s whole body seemed to be lit by the sound of firecrackers, and his whole body was almost so angry that he was about to burst into flames.
“Who are you defending yourself for, Tu Nan-hsing?” With a force
on my hand, my wedding robe fell off layer by layer like petals.
Song Yu pinched my neck, came over and bit my lips, and I bit back hard, my mouth full of sour rust.
We are entwined together, like two little beasts that refuse to admit defeat. The
cold armor hit me, and my mind was in a mess, and there was a roar. Why did
Song Yu appear here?
The Song family belongs to the second prince. He is here. The prince is defeated. My father is defeated. Where’s
my dad? With a tremor in
his heart, he reached out to touch the dagger. Just then, there was a sound of orderly footsteps outside the door. Song Yu was stunned and was in a hurry to straighten out my robe.
Moments later, the footsteps stopped at the door, the door was pushed open, and the second prince came in laughing.
“Ha ha ha, brother Yu, I didn’t expect you to be in such a hurry. I can’t wait to enjoy the fruits of your victory.”
Song Yu lowered his eyes and moved two steps to stand in front of me, blocking the sight of the two princes.
“Your Highness laughed.”
“Ha ha ha, beauty first. I understand. I understand.”
The second prince patted Song Yu on the shoulder.
But now is not the time to clean up the mess outside first. For your sake, Marquis of Yongchang, I left a whole body.
I froze in place, doubting my ears. How is that possible? My father is heavily armed. When I went out this morning, I heard that he had transferred thirty thousand military forces to the southwest guard. Before
sending me out of the gate, he was reluctant to part with me and still ate three bowls of noodles with a good appetite.
He keeps in good health. He has to get up every day to practice martial arts. In winter, he still insists on swimming in the river every other day. He is so energetic that he will not stop until he is 100 years old.
The whole body, what on earth is the second prince talking about?
I only seemed to be in a daze for a while, but when I realized it, everything was quiet. I was still sitting alone in the room, and the candle had burned out.
It’s dark, there’s no moon tonight, there’s no stars, I’m a little scared.
I moved to the window, reached out and opened it, and the warm wind blew in, and I realized that the sky outside was gray, and it was almost dawn.
Slowly, the east turned out the white belly of the fish, and the sky was bright.
Song Yu pushed open the door and stood wearily in front of me.
“The prince is dead. You can’t wait for him.”
I nodded and wanted to ask my father, but I didn’t dare.
Song Yu walked up to me step by step, trying to say something, his eyes swept over the table and suddenly stopped.
“What is this?”
He pointed to the name on the rosewood, and his eyes were full of confusion.
“You carved it?”
I looked at him with an expressionless face and didn’t want to answer.
So when I came in last night, you carved this on the table? Du Nanxing–are you thinking about me?
Song Yu’s jade-like eyes lit up little by little, and he first pursed his lips and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. After a moment, he could not bear it and showed his teeth as white as jade.
“Oh, Star, I-”
“You shut up!”
I pulled the dagger out from behind.
“You killed my father, and I’m still thinking about you and thinking about you. You’re very proud, aren’t you?”
I clenched my teeth and threw myself in front of Song Yu, with a fire burning in my heart. Song Yu was caught off guard, and I cut a long cut on her arm.
“Heh heh heh, it serves you right, Star, well done!”
A loud voice sounded behind me, and I stiffened and turned my head in an incredible way.
Dad? What the
hell is going on? Why is my father standing here?
Looking at my head full of question marks, my father waved his big hand.
“Let’s talk about it after a few days. Otherwise, with your intelligence, it’s hard for me to explain to you.”
Hehehe, there are many ways to insult me, why should I choose the most unacceptable? For the
next few days, even if they didn’t tell me, I had a pretty good guess.
Because it was the disabled third prince who finally held the enthronement ceremony. The moment
he stood up from his chair, I heard that many people’s jaws were shocked. How did
a boy who was only fifteen years old lie motionless in bed for more than ten years?
This scheming and patience was enough for him to win.
Star, I didn’t mean not to tell you. In the middle of the last day, Song Yu suddenly appeared with three princes. I was also surprised.
In fact, the prince had a chance to win, but think about it, your feelings for that boy, hey, I can only take refuge in the three princes. Father did all this for you. With a sneer,
I smashed a plate and went out. What kind of feelings do
I have for him? Tu Hung, I think you’re really old and confused. He and his cousin are childhood sweethearts, talented and beautiful, and it’s my turn to have feelings for him.
My father jumped aside, rubbed his hands and laughed.
“I don’t know anything about you young men. Let him speak to you himself.”
I closed the door and covered my head with the quilt.
Joke, who is he? Do I have to listen to what he says? After a few days of
chaos, the three princes held the enthronement ceremony, and everything was settled.
The streets and lanes were decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and people’s faces were filled with excited smiles, talking about the champion who had made a great contribution this time. At a
young age, he was granted the official title of Grand Maester of the East Pavilion and entered the cabinet. After a few more years of experience, he will be the next chief assistant. The Song family changed their family and became the hottest dignitary in the capital.
The most rare thing is that this Lord Song is still single. Although married, but has been divorced, about equal to no.
Yongchang Hou just began to stand in the wrong line, although reluctantly stood back, but the merits and demerits offset, in front of the new emperor’s position is still a bit awkward.
Their family really has no vision.
When I went out to buy jewelry, I listened to all the melons in my ears, which were all from my own melon fields. What’s more, they said these things without avoiding me at all. Angrily,
I threw the Chaohua Golden Crown in my hand on the table.
“Shopkeeper, are you still in business?” When
the shopkeeper saw the golden crown, his face changed. He rushed over and held it in his arms like a treasure. He scolded the servant girl next to him,
“You’re crazy. It was made by Miss Li. Why did you show it to the others?”
I wonder which of the new dignitaries is this time.
“Which Miss Li?” An embarrassed smile from
the shopkeeper.
“She’s a cousin of the Sung family. She went into exile with the Sung family and never abandoned them. Now that a good thing is coming, she’s finally able to keep the clouds open.”
“Yes, yes, the watch girl has a good eye.”
Everyone echoed with one voice, I clenched my palms, my heart was dull, and suddenly I couldn’t stay any longer. Like cotton
under my feet, I got into the carriage and covered my ears, feeling that all the voices I heard were talking about them.
What’s the big deal? You are beautiful and talented. You are a good match. What does it matter to me.
I angrily told the driver to leave quickly, but the carriage was motionless, a jade white slender finger lifted the curtain, I looked down, Song Yu?
Sung Yu stooped to get into the carriage, looked at me with a half-smile, and ordered,
“Drive the carriage into a nearby alley.”
Shit, is it my driver or your driver?
I was furious and pushed him.
“Get off! Who gave you permission to come up?”
Song Yu took my hand and took me into her arms.
“Star, I’ve been so busy lately that I can’t even take care of you. Are you angry?”
“Oh, are you busy with your cousin’s marriage?”
Song Yu nodded.
You know? There are too many things to do, and I am very tired. Come on, Star, let me hold you.
I was dumbfounded. I never thought there would be such a shameless person in the world.
Song Yu hugged me and sat on his lap, staring at me for a while with his ink-like eyes, and then put his head together.
I turned my head and slapped him in the face.
Du Nanxing! You’re addicted to beating people, aren’t you? There was obvious anger in
Song Yu’s voice. He cut my hands behind my back, forcing me to hold out my chest and look up at him.
I sneer.
Lord Soong is about to get married, and he’s really in high spirits. Why, I’m not cooperating with you, and I’m disappointed? Are you going to arrest me?
Song Yu’s eyes were confused for a moment.
I’m newly married? With whom
All right, Sung Chang-an, stop acting. Is it interesting? May you and your cousin get along for a hundred years and leave me alone, won’t you?
I’m suddenly a little tired of it. You win. You all win. My father and I are a joke. Isn’t it enough to show off in front of me?
Song Yu suddenly chuckled, and he came over and stuck it on my face.
Du Nanxing, what on earth are you thinking about? My cousin is going to enter the palace in a few days. We’re just like brother and sister. She never had any idea about me. How could you think that?
Say that finish, Huan is enlightened. Is that what
you thought before? So that’s it!
I rolled my eyes.
“That’s funny. The way you were before, she didn’t think about you. Did she think about me?” As soon as
the voice fell, Song Yu’s expression was obviously wrong. He turned his head with a guilty conscience and smiled awkwardly.
“Oh, it’s a beautiful day today.”
？
What do you mean, I’m telling the truth, cousin, she’s thinking about me? In
my mind, I went through all my cousin’s inexplicable words, and suddenly I felt that it was a little reasonable. What
the hell is going on! If you don’t tell me, I’ll go to my cousin and find out.
Song Yu hugged my waist, gritted his teeth, and said everything in detail. Then he lowered his eyes and could not lift his head.
It turned out that my cousin had fallen in love with me at first sight three years ago. Knowing that Song Yu and I were classmates, she begged Song Yu to approach me.
So, those snacks were all made for me, and Song Yu was the one who benefited from them.
So, even if I resume women’s clothing, she insists on calling me brother Nanxing.
So, I made a mistake, Song Yu, he likes me?
“Star, I’ve robbed my cousin of her sweetheart. I feel guilty about her. I didn’t mean to be partial to her before.”
Song Yu held my hand honestly.
“Why don’t you come home with me?”
I stared at him and suddenly got a little angry.
“How can that work? With so much dowry, I have to spend half a month on it!”.
Song Yu came up and bit my lips, smiling at the corners of her mouth.
“Then don’t bring the dowry.”
I was even more angry and reached out to punch him in the chest.
“How can you do that, you black sheep!”
Song Yu laughed more happily, and the clear laughter escaped from our lips and teeth.
“Then I’ll help you move it.”
So I went back to the Sung Mansion. Sung Yu didn’t break his promise. He really helped me with my dowry for half a month.
Still later, at the end of the imperial concubine ceremony, the new emperor held a palace banquet and invited only the two of us. After
eating and drinking, I was a little drunk and staggered to one side of the porch chair to enjoy the breeze.
Cousin, oh no, it’s Li Guifei now. She sat next to me with her lips closed. I was a little embarrassed. I didn’t know how to face her. I closed my eyes and began to pretend to sleep.
My cousin sighed, put a blanket on me and left.
Not far away, the new emperor and Song Yu sat on both sides of the chessboard. The new emperor loosened his hands and a sunspot fell.
Song Yu frowned.
“Your Majesty, you are resourceful.”
The new emperor did not know what to think of and chuckled.
“Song Aiqing, how can I compare with you in terms of strategy?”
You set up a trap to make the late emperor suspect the Marquis of Yongchang and force the two Marquis of Yongchang to vote for the prince to protect themselves. He also fabricated evidence of the crime of the prince, and even cheated your father.
Song Yu pursed her lips.
“My father is loyal to the second prince, and it’s rare that the emperor doesn’t care.”
The new emperor laughed heartily.
“I won in the end. What do I have to argue with him about?”
Then the line of sight stayed on me for a long time.
I seek things, and you seek people. We are really suitable for the monarch and his subjects. Did you choose me because of her?
Song Yu coughed lightly.
“Your Majesty, if you don’t lose your son, you will lose.”
A breeze rolled by, with the fragrance of crabapple flowers, my fingers moved slightly, and I continued to close my eyes.
It suddenly occurred to me that I met the second prince in the side hall that day, and the second prince staggered over and pulled my sleeve.
“Miss Tu, would you like to sit inside with the king?”
“Ahem, second prince, my father is waiting for you in front.”
The boy was dressed in a green shirt, with his head half lowered, his hands hanging at his side pale and slender, and he held his robe tightly.
Those hands are really beautiful.
