4. Love each other.

The two loved

each other, and the old friend sighed, “I don’t care about the end of the song.

The emperor’s son-in-law has taken another concubine.”.

My son-in-law told me about it himself.

Soft gold embroidered clothes, tassel brocade tent double Mandarin duck.

The east wind breaks the warm and blows the red fragrance, and the fallen flowers grow longer.

He leaned over my ear and whispered, “Chaoyang, I have redeemed Xiaoqing.”

He called my title intimately, and I pursed my lips, did not speak, and looked at him indifferently.

Xiaoqing is his lover in Zihualou.

I didn’t speak. With a muffled snort, I clenched the Mandarin duck quilt under my hand and twisted it into a ball.

He is my son-in-law, Cui Qing, whose courtesy name is Hanzhi.

Cui Hanzhi was originally not a small official in the court, Zhongshu Shiren and Guozi sacrificial wine, the fourth grade.

A princess’s son-in-law is not allowed to be an official. This is the rule laid down by my brother, who is the emperor today. The reason is that the harem interferes in politics and disturbs the palace.

But I know that the emperor did this not only for my stability, but also for my sake.

I ruined Cui Hanzhi’s career. He hates me.

The next day, when the sun was rising in the east, I got up. The maid who was waiting beside the bed was so excited that she hurriedly called someone to come in and serve me. There are some crabapples scattered in the

golden basin. I don’t know if this is what Cui Hanzhi meant. Seeing my cold face, the maid next to me asked someone to remove the washbasin and bring it over with clean water in person. It is well known in the capital that

Princess Chaoyang loves Begonia.

I ate, but I felt that this day’s food was not the same as yesterday’s.

I put down the jade chopsticks, frowned slightly, called the pear flower, and asked her if the new cook was not interested in cooking.

Ewha lowered her head and dared not look at me. When I was about to open my mouth, I heard the pear flower muttering in a low voice, saying that the emperor’s son-in-law had gone to beg.

I didn’t say anything, but I picked up the jade chopsticks and poked them at random, but I still couldn’t go down. “Why don’t you stop me?”

I asked lightly.

Ewha gritted her teeth and knelt down to reply, saying that she could not stop her. I looked at the hall of red flowers and green willows kneeling, did not say anything, nodded to let them get up.

The food had been served for a long time, and it was a little cold. I waved my hand and let people go down.

Ewha is my personal maid, and she is in charge of all the chores in the house. I also told her that if the son-in-law wanted to do something, he would let him go. At that time, Ewha was also like this. She knelt down and begged me to accept her words. Ewha seemed to know that Cui Hanzhi would humiliate me by taking a concubine.

Ewha stood at my side, untied her hair for me, and said that the girl was not feeling well and could not come to pay her respects to me.

I have always been like this, after breakfast will be relaxed, also loose hair bun, lying casually reading some books to pass the time.

“Let her be.”

I glanced lightly at the woman in the bronze mirror and combed her hair with the comb in my hand.

Ewha was a little angry when she saw my submissive appearance, but she didn’t dare to lose her temper with me. She took off the last suet jade hairpin for me and threw it on the dressing table.

“What’s the matter with you today? You can’t hold your breath?”

I glanced at the pear flower, picked up the hairpin and put it gently in the red lacquer wooden box.

Ewha did not speak and was about to go out with red eyes.

“Don’t go.”

I shouted, the pear flower stopped, turned to look at me, tears fell down.

Ewha is going to trouble the new concubine.

“Princess, you are also a noble person in the palace. The Empress Dowager is always coaxing and hurting you, and she is afraid that you will not be satisfied. Even the emperor is clinging to you. How can she be allowed to humiliate you as a woman in a flower house?”

Ewha began to cry and spoke intermittently.

I didn’t say anything, but picked up the silk handkerchief at my side and wiped away the tears for the pear flower. “Don’t cry, it’s not you who are wronged.”

Ewha saw that my expression was still light, a look of indifference, pulled the veil in my hand and ran out.

I didn’t care about Ewha. I knew she had to cry for a while, and I couldn’t coax her.

Ewha has been close to me since she was a child, and her feelings are different from those of others. I also know that she is worried about me, but I am not good, and she has a good intention. I called someone to draw some satin brocade from the cabinet and found someone who could look at it and send it to the pear flower.

I looked at the sky outside the window, it was almost the Winter Solstice days, and the plum blossoms in the yard should open one after another.

Brother Huang knew that I liked to see plum blossoms, so he specially asked the people in the greenhouse to cultivate some red plum blossoms that could bloom early and move them to my yard to amuse me.

Outside the window or some light snow, from last night began to fall, there is a small wind blowing, some fell in front of the window. I picked up a brush and swept away the snow in front of the window. As soon as I lowered my head, my hair drifted out of the window. There was some new snow on the end of my hair. I brushed it away carelessly, but after a while it fell again. Although

the snow is small, but also to float for a long time, according to the usual, I am afraid this day is not out of the door.

Mother refused to let me go out in a snowy day, for fear that I would catch a cold and cause a cold, and she would be distressed to death. When

my mother gave birth to me, she was cheated by a concubine who had a heart, and almost lost her life. I walked through the gate of death, but I was full of vigor and vitality, and I was more noisy than my brother.

In spite of this, my mother still loved me the most. She sent me some pilose antler ginseng every other day. I told her that I was not the imperial concubines in the imperial palace. Where was she so delicate. My mother scolded me with a cold face, and then she cried. She took my hand and said a lot of words. It turned out that when my mother gave birth to me, she was bleeding heavily, and almost both mother and daughter could not be saved.

Later, I let my mother send me, and let people store all those good things in the warehouse, without moving.

Mother knew that I refused to use it, so she sent someone to boil the blood swallow every day and let the aunt in the palace stare at me and drink it. I eat a bowl every day, and my face is ruddy and shining, but I don’t waste my mother’s good intentions.

I leaned against the imperial concubine’s couch and lay lazily. I picked up the book I had not finished reading yesterday and turned it over page by page. The maid waiting outside the door saw me looking at the book and brought in some cakes. The book

I read is very ordinary. The one in my hand is called “Beyond the Palace Wall”, which describes the love between the emperor’s brother and his concubine. The folkway of the

capital is open, the court is also conniving at these things, the people are able to move a few days of noble things to the book, although not on the table, the court is also turning a blind eye, as long as there is no big deal.

I looked at it and laughed out loud. The book said that my brother liked Xiao Fei the most. In fact, my brother didn’t like Xiao Fei the most. Because Xiao Fei’s mother was the founder of the country, she had some prestige in the court. Even if my brother didn’t like Xiao Fei, he had to make a show.

My brother once whispered to me secretly that Xiao Fei had body odor. I showed my brother the medical book and pointed it out to him, saying that body odor could be cured. He had to pinch an egg under the creaking nest and run thirty miles away without turning back. The body odor was cured.

Brother Huang laughed and poked me on the forehead, saying, “Do you believe such nonsense? I see that you have come to laugh at me.”

I covered my mouth and gave a snicker. “Brother Huang found out.”

Brother Huang pulled my medical books and said, “You, you,” but he didn’t want to punish me. After

reading for a long time, my neck was a little sore, so I put down the book and looked up. The maid who

served me looked up and knew that I was a little tired, so she took a soft pillow at my hand and put it on my shoulder.

This little maidservant has a good technique. She must be the one sent by the emperor’s brother yesterday. I wanted to ask her name and let her serve in the room later, but I heard a sound of silk and bamboo outside.

5

“Who is it?” I waved my hand and stopped the maid. When the maid who

poured the tea heard me, she put down her work and replied respectfully, saying that she was a new girl. After listening to her words,

I did not make a sound, folded a corner of the book, and listened carefully to the movement outside the window. The maids in the room thought I was angry and knelt on the ground submissively, not daring to breathe. In fact, I don’t have much anger in my heart. This Qing girl is good at learning music. She is more spiritual than musicians in the palace. I just want to have a look.

I got up and walked out the door without my clothes on. The boy outside the door saw me out of the door, hurriedly put up a paper umbrella, and a maid came forward to put on a short rabbit hair cloak for me. If the

princess wants to go out, let the maidservant go to warm up Mrs. Tang. It’s still snowing outside, and soon your hands will be frozen. Don’t freeze, Princess. Shaking

my head, I let the boy with an umbrella follow me and sent all the people behind me down. On the left side of

my bedroom was a small pavilion, from which the sound came.

I turned to the boy holding the umbrella and told him to wait, so I went up to the pavilion. The first time

I saw my son-in-law’s lovely man in Zihualou, it was really unusual.

Yuqing looks beautiful, with sad eyebrows and eyes, like a small Jasper. She wore a string of golden bells on her

feet and danced, while the musician played a ditty beside her. She stood on tiptoe and danced like a light butterfly.

Cui Qing smiled and patted the soft collapse on his side, and snow fell in his eyes.

I lightly glanced at Yuqing, Yuqing saw me come and stopped jumping, standing aside softly and weakly, not daring to look at me. I told Cui Qing that I just came to have a look.

“Chaoyang, you are separated from me.” Cui Qing smiled and was about to pull me into his arms.

I opened Cui Qing’s hand, untied the short rabbit hair cloak on my body, and threw it to Yu Qing. Yu Qing didn’t know what I meant and was shocked.

I looked up and said it was for her.

Yu Qing took the cloak trembling and looked at Cui Qing hesitantly.

“If the princess gives you a reward, you can wear it.” Cui Qingchong Yuqing raised his eyelids, did not say anything more, and then turned to look at me, looking ambiguous.

I didn’t look at Cui Qing. I looked at Yu Qing to see whether she was wearing it or not. All my things are given by the emperor, and they are carefully done by the people in the palace, for fear that something will go wrong. Yuqing status is low, in the end is the person of Zihualou, should see the quality of things, imperial things, where she dare to move. Still not listening to Cui Qing,

Yu Ching began to kowtow to me, saying, “Princess, calm down.”.

I’m not a good person. According to my usual temperament, she should slap her mouth.

Yuqing’s voice is pleasant to hear, just like the cry of the thrush that the emperor’s brother raised in the palace. I can’t help feeling pity when I listen to her tone of fear, not to mention Cui Qing, such a man.

Cui Qing picked up Yuqing in the past, held Yuqing in her arms, and comforted her in a gentle voice. I glanced at her coldly, but I didn’t say anything.

Cui Qing appeased Yu Qing, with a smile, got up and walked towards me, and asked me in a low voice why I had a child’s temper.

I raised my head and looked at Cui Qing lightly. “This is the Princess Mansion.”

Cui Qing chuckled and leaned close to me, her slender fingers picking up my unmade hair.

“Yuqing is my sweetheart, you know.” Cui Qing’s handsome and charming eyes were full of affection. When he looked at me like this, I was in a trance for a moment. I don’t know if the snow in his eyes melted in my heart.

My name is Jiang Ying, and my character is Yantao. My character was not taken by my son-in-law, but by my brother. Cui Qing hated me so much that he refused to make a show of it.

“He Li.” I closed my eyes, some dare not look at Cui Qing, I am afraid I can not be ruthless.

Cui Qing laughed twice. He was closer to me again. I could smell the faint fragrance of ink on his body. Cui Qing kissed the lachrymal mole in the corner of my eye and called me “Banquet Peach” softly, saying that he didn’t want to divorce, as long as I divorced him.

I had quarreled with Cui Qing before when he married those concubines, and I also said this. In

his first concubine, I made the most trouble. I smashed all the jade and porcelain bowls in the princess’s house. I cried for several days and nights, but Cui Qing refused to change her mind. I threatened to divorce him, but Cui Qing just looked at me with a faint smile. He knew I was reluctant to part with him, because I had knelt down outside my brother’s bedroom for seven days and seven nights to get married with Cui Qing. After that, my knees were not good.

I was ill for a long time, and all the doctors in the palace came to my house. Later, I softened my posture and asked Cui Qingmo to marry the concubine, and I would be good to him. But Cui Qing didn’t care about me. He took away a few books in my room and said he wanted to relieve his little wife’s boredom.

Still later, he took a second concubine, and I made the whole house so noisy that even the emperor’s brother couldn’t bear to see that he wanted to behead Cui Qing. I pulled the emperor’s brother’s sleeve and said not to touch him.

Brother Huang was so angry with me that he refused to see me again, but his mother loved me and told me to divorce Cui Qing and not to be wronged. Cui Qing wanted me to divorce him at that time, but I didn’t. I just asked Cui Qing if he wanted to divorce. Cui Qing shook his head. He said I was lying to him.

Cui Qing is a wise man, and I am really lying to him.

Later, the third concubine, I also knew that Cui Qing was angry with me. She splashed on the concubine and became a shrew, so she let Cui Qing go. Because the servants in the mansion said that Cui Qing went to the concubines every night, but he couldn’t hear anything inside. After that, I settled down, knowing that Cui Qing was thinking of my unhappiness, so I followed his heart.

But this is different. Last night my mouth was dry, and I thought of drinking tea to moisten my throat. When I turned sideways, I found that the bedding beside me was cold. At that time, I was shocked for a moment, and I suddenly thought of “Xiao Qing” in Cui Qing’s mouth.

I was running barefoot in the snow with no shoes on, and the maid behind me couldn’t catch up with me and shouted “Princess.”. As I ran, I stopped. I heard a noise in the attic next to my bedroom. They had the window open.

Although it was night, I could also see two overlapping figures, shaking in the snowy night.

I thought, maybe it’s someone else. The maid in the back caught up with me and came over to dress me and let me go back. I took her by the arm and asked her if it was Cui Qing in the attic. The maid bit her lips, panted, and lowered her head and dared not answer me.

When I saw that she didn’t speak and was afraid of me, I knew that Cui Qing finally didn’t want to see me anymore. As

I listened to Cui Qing’s words, tears came from the corners of my eyes. I said in a trembling voice, “Take care.”.

I was reluctant to part with Cui Qing. I knew he was not happy to move to the Princess Mansion, so I gave in to him everywhere, and I tried my best to ask my brother for what I could give. But Cui Qing hated me so much that he married three concubines to insult me. Counting Yu Qing, this is the fourth one.

Cui Qing was stunned and let me go.

I opened my eyes and looked at Cui Qing indifferently. I told him that even if he wanted to marry Xiao Qing, I wouldn’t care. The snow in the

capital was heavier again, and I heard the sound of snow falling outside. My brother once told me that the snow this year was heavier than usual, and it fell intermittently for half a month, collapsing the eaves of a small courtyard in his palace. When

I pinched my cold fingertips and turned down the wooden ladder in the attic, I heard Cui Qing shouting “Jiang Ying” from the attic.

I went down to the attic and said to the boy holding a paper umbrella at his side, “Go and tell your brother that I won’t make any more trouble with him.” The boy

beside him was stunned and finally nodded. The fact that

I divorced Cui Qing caused a sensation in the capital. Everyone in the

capital knows that Princess Chaoyang is infatuated with Lord Cui, and that I can kneel in the palace for seven days and seven nights for him, and tolerate him to take several concubines. But no one thought, I pestered Cui Qing for three years, or let him go.

Cui Qing’s three concubines have already wiped the face of the son of heaven, but the emperor’s brother let me, not angry with me, I can not help but know good or bad. The man sitting on the throne is not only my brother, but also the son of heaven.

I went into the palace to see my brother, who was waiting for me in my mother’s bedroom. I went in with a few boxes of snacks.

I coaxed to say some words, but the emperor brother must give Cui Qing some lessons, I know I can not stop the emperor brother. The matter of Cui Qing and Yu Qing, besides the people in the Princess Mansion, is my brother and mother. Brother Huang just can’t bear to see that I have suffered a great grievance.

I fed my brother a snack and looked at him with a smile. When

my brother saw that I didn’t stop him, he didn’t believe me. I told my brother that I didn’t care about Cui Qing any more, and I said some disgusting words that made me spit sour water. Finally, I coaxed my brother and mother to believe that I was really disheartened by Cui Qing.

I came out of the palace with a large crowd behind me. When

my brother knew that I had broken up with Cui Qing, he was afraid that I would be sad, so he went to find Cui Qing again. He rewarded me with three or four faces and a lot of silks and satins and jewelry. I was followed by a large group of people.

When I got into the carriage, Ewha saw that I looked a little tired, so she left a well-behaved and obedient one to wait on me in the carriage.

I was reading a book in the carriage, and I was very upset. I always have a book in my carriage, and even I don’t know when I had such a hobby, but the pear flower remembered it for me.

“What’s your name?” I closed my eyes, smelled the incense of the carriage, and leaned on the soft pillow, dazed.

“If you reply to the princess, you haven’t given her a word yet. The emperor says you’re waiting for the princess to give you a word.” The voice of the head was soft and glutinous, which made me feel a little cute. I looked up at him and saw that he was really good-looking, like a white dumpling.

I asked him if he liked the word “banquet peach” and pinched his face with a smile, which was soft and really diluted the sadness in my heart.

“Princess.” He lowered his head in fear and dared not look at me again.

“Don’t be afraid. From now on, I’ll call you Su Huan.” I patted Su Huan on the head and asked him to look up at me. I really wanted to be good to him.

New love and old love, I learned the way of Princess Anping in the former Dynasty.

I was too lazy to name it, so I let the pear flower take the Book of Songs and pick out a few well-intentioned words from it to reward them, and then let them settle down in the yard. I can’t treat the people who are rewarded by the emperor’s brother harshly.

Su Huan is really clever and plays the flute very well. Every time Su Huan plays the flute, I always feel that my mood is far away, and even the matter of Cui Qing can be stopped for a while.

Ewha saw my preference for Su Huan and placed Su Huan in the side hall to facilitate my summons. The

capital has not been peaceful in recent days, and there have been two or three light snowfalls in succession. Although a timely snow promises a good harvest, I always feel nervous.

“It rained again last night, and the window paper in the side hall was torn and never pasted. I don’t know if Mr. Su has caught a cold.”

The pear flower adds the new charcoal fire for me, I roast my hands, and my heart is warm.

“Change the window paper in the side hall. Just use the ones the emperor’s brother gave you a few days ago. Pick a clean color and change it.”

I closed my eyes and rubbed my eyebrows, wondering if I should ask the imperial physician in the palace to feel Su Huan’s pulse.

The side hall was always prepared for Cui Qing, who was my son-in-law at that time.

Cui Qing refused to be in the same room with me at first. I thought Cui Qing had a heart of stone, but I didn’t know he had no heart at all.

Cui Qing does not like me, I will depend on him, only feel that I get along with him for a long time, must be able to let him feel my good. Candles are always lit in the

side hall, and when people go to clean up in the daytime, the wax on the table is always very difficult to clean. I knew that Cui Qing had been reading all night with a candle lit, and that he would rather read all night than share a bed with me.

I was so spineless that I cried secretly. Even I can’t count how many times I cried for Cui Qing. Sometimes I feel my tears are running dry. For Cui Qing, my sweetheart.

The next night, my eyes were red and swollen, and I quietly looked at Cui Qing through the small door of the side hall. The main hall is connected with the side hall, and there is a secret door in the side hall that is connected with the main hall. At this time, Cui Qing did not know when she entered the Princess Mansion, but I did. Cui Qing read a book all night, in fact, not because I understand him, but because I watched him all night. It’s not good for the eyes to

read. There was light in Cui Qing’s eyes. I wanted to protect the light in his eyes, so I asked someone to change the window paper of the side hall into bright paper. I sent someone to light a glass lamp outside the window. It was not so bright, and I was not afraid that Cui Qing would notice my careful thinking. If he knew, he would be even more disgusted with me.

Cui Qing never accepted my kindness to him, which he thought was a blasphemy. The imperial physician from the

palace said that Su Huan was not a big problem, but I was still not at ease. I just let them prescribe a few prescriptions for recuperation. I think Su Huan is too weak. I want to treat him as a brother. When

Su Huan learned that I had spent silver to take good care of his body, he knelt down in front of my temple as if he had been frightened. At that time, I had not dressed up yet. Su Huan also stopped the servants from communicating with them, saying that it was even more a sin to be afraid of disturbing me.

Su Huan knelt outside for half an hour before she came in. Because there was no sweetheart in the house, I didn’t care about dressing. I let the pear flower comb my hair at will, and tied up my hair with a hairpin. I let the pear flower go to pass the meal, looking at Su Huan’s head hanging low, tickling my heart.

I held my cheek in my hand and looked at Su Huan with a half-smile.

Su Huan stammered and could not speak, but he wanted to kneel down again. I saw his grievance, as if he was going to shed tears, which was really painful.

I asked Su Huan what he ate in the palace on weekdays. Su Huan only talked about the food of ordinary palace people. Maybe the palace people didn’t expect that I could be entangled with Cui Qing for half a lifetime, and I didn’t care about his diet.

I asked the pear flower to pass on and prepare some glutinous rice dumplings for Su Huan to taste. The pear flower listened to my words and quietly ordered the cook to put more sugar. Ewha has been with me for a long time, and even her temperament is similar to mine.

Su Huan listened to my words and wanted to thank him again. He knelt down three times in a row to thank him. Even the pear flowers laughed out loud.

Su Huan is too well-behaved and well-behaved, which makes me feel uneasy, but I still want to bully him.

I asked Su Huan what he did in the palace, and Su Huan said that on weekdays he followed his husband to learn books and string and bamboo orchestras. During

the meal, Su Huan was also standing. I asked him to sit down several times, but he refused. I looked at Su Huan’s embarrassed appearance and let him go.

I was in the mansion, listening to Su Huan singing and playing the flute every day, but I didn’t know that the sky was already in chaos outside.

I still know from the mouth of the pear flower that Cui Qing was put in prison by the emperor’s brother.

At that time, I was listening to Su Huan playing the Suqin, lying on her side on the beauty couch, holding her forehead in one hand.

“Don’t worry about it. Keep playing.” I ignored the pear flower, just let Su Huan continue to play. Even if

Cui Qing is executed by Ling Chi, I can’t control it. Not to mention my enmity with him, just because Cui Qing touched the emperor’s beard, this is also a matter of the court, I can not intervene as a woman in the palace.

Ewha said I should be cruel. I think Ewha is right. I should be cruel. I asked the pear flower to go back to the emperor’s brother and said don’t worry about me.

I told Su Huan to let him have dinner with me.

The princess’s meal, which was the meal of the nobles in heaven, was not the turn of others to serve together. From now on, all the people in the mansion should take a high look at Su Huan.

Su Huan had a delicate mind and could see that I was not happy with the dishes when I was eating, so he whispered to me that he had recently learned a new song and asked me to listen to it. I followed Su Huan to the side hall and let those people stay in the main hall to hear what new music he learned.

I smiled and asked Su Huan what the song was, knowing that he was still a child.

Su Huan lowered his head and stammered that he had not learned the new song yet, and his face was red again.

“Then why did you ask Ben Gong to come?”

I pinched Su Huan’s nose and said with a smile that he didn’t know the rules.

This is early in the morning, I have no appetite, just think hard for Su Huan to have this idea, then rewarded some golden barley for him to play with. The

midday sun was strong, and it snowed last night, and it was white, and I was in a trance.

I read the book all morning, and my bones were sore. Just as I was about to call people, I remembered that I had let them all go out, and I couldn’t call them for a while.

When I got off the couch, I didn’t find any shoes, so I folded the corner, put down the book, and went out barefoot.

Out of the house, the wind outside was so strong that my cheeks hurt. There was an earthworm in the house, and the pear flower was afraid that I was hot, so she put an ice bucket in the house.

I walked alone in the snow, carrying a wide dress, feet on the snow, a few bright red. I just dyed Kou Dan a few days ago. It was Jin Fengrui that my brother arranged for people to practice overnight, but it was cheaper for me. Before I

dressed, I felt that the plum blossoms in the yard were blooming brightly. I broke off a branch and wanted to take it back so that the pear blossoms could be mashed and squeezed out to make some Rouge. After

careful selection, I broke off a red plum from the root of the wall and held it in my arms to go back, which was really a little cold. Stepping on the snow to look for plum blossoms, I don’t know when I became hypocritical.

16

The princess stays. After three years, have you forgotten about me?

A clear voice opened behind me, and I looked back and saw a man climbing over the wall, dressed in blue clothes, with a high bundle of hair, holding a flute in his hand.

He bowed his eyes and said to me, “I’m sorry.”.

I looked at the flute in his hand, carved with complex crabapple patterns, is my favorite pattern, exquisite and exquisite, this handwriting, I recognize.

“Ho Shao-ming.”

I turned around and looked at him. He Shaoming, the prince of King Jing, was a minister guarding my brother on the Wanli River. He was a young man riding the dust on the battlefield. He was also a lover waiting to be married in the spring boudoir of the capital. He was also my childhood playmate.

“Yes.”

He Shaoming raised his head and smiled at the corners of his mouth. When I look at him, I feel like a lifetime ago.

Riding a horse leaning on the bridge, Manlou Hongxiu Zhao.

This is the day when He Shaoming went out of the street, with a silver saddle, a white horse, an indigo robe, and a jade crown, which attracted others to write poems for him.

I went there that day, too, but in a carriage. He Shaoming walked and stopped for a while. He was afraid that my carriage would be too slow to catch up with him. The girls on the road frequently looked askance and blushed, but He Shaoming did not understand the amorous feelings and looked back lazily. He only asked me if I liked the carving he gave me today. I lifted the curtain, looked at the mossy steps on the side of the road, and nodded.

He Shaoming looks beautiful, his eyebrows are light, his eyes are sharp, his figure is long, and he has an official rank and a rich salary. He is a young man who is one in a million.

He Shaoming turned slightly sideways and asked me if I could take him around. I didn’t want to talk to him, so I just turned around and said, “Prince, help yourself.”.

Ho Shao-ming lowered his head and chuckled.

I took the red plum in my arms, rubbed off a few flowers waiting to be released in the cold, and decorated them in the snow. The red plum planted by

my brother is very fragrant, and I didn’t care about it before.

He Shaoming followed me, and I heard him whisper that I was out of line and walking barefoot in the snow. I

don’t want to talk to him. I want to run away when I pick up my skirt. He Shaoming grabbed my sleeve, and the red plum in his arms messed up the snow on the ground.

“With hair and a blue shirt, the prince only said that the palace didn’t know the rules.”

“The princess is becoming more and more impersonal.”

He Shaoming said that I let him chill. I looked at him and knew that he was used to fooling people since he was a child.

“Princess, come up.”

He Shaoming put the flute into my arms, turned his back to me, knelt down on one knee in front of me, put his hands back and turned his head to me.

My feet are really cold, and I’m afraid I’ll catch a chill if I run around in the snow again. He was not polite to him, so he jumped on his back.

He Shaoming practiced martial arts all the year round and was a living warm stove. I leaned on his back and saw that he was wearing only a thin layer of clothes.

I asked He Shaoming if he was cold, and He Shaoming’s footsteps were slightly stagnant, saying that he was so cold. After a while, he added that if he didn’t dress up, he would have to let me go out.

I ignored him and told him that my red plums were still in the snow and would be frozen. He Shaoming replied to me that he didn’t care about the snow, just the one on his back.

He Shaoming carried me to the hall, and the pear flower had already greeted me at the door. When he saw me coming in, he was stunned. He brought me a bowl of ginger soup to drink to dispel the cold, and invited several people to the inner hall to dress and change for me.

I changed my clothes and came out. Seeing that He Shaoming had also changed his clothes, I frowned and glanced at the pear flower, blaming her for taking the initiative. The pear flower was a little scared by me, so I gently let a few servants step down and closed the door. Every year I send someone to make new clothes for

He Shaoming, and then leave them in the side hall where he used to live. But I don’t know what he looked like in the past three years. I just made a general estimate. Now I see that the cuff is a little short.

He Shao-ming used to stay at my house, and he said that he would take care of my Tang Mu-yi in the future. I called him “home order” for a long time. But later, He Shaoming went to guard Ximen Pass, isolated for three years, and I never heard from him again.

He Shaoming changed into an indigo robe, and I remembered the situation of that day in the street, the early years of yuanhe.

Now it is five years since yuanhe. He Shaoming is twenty-three, and I am twenty-one. We have known each other for fourteen years.

I kicked my shoes at random and leaned on the couch and asked He Shaoming when he returned to Beijing. I looked out of the window. It was snowing again.

He Shaoming’s slender hand clasped the table and made a slightly dull sound. He did not answer me, but only talked about me and Cui Qing.

“If a military officer beats a civil official, the emperor will remove my official hat.”

I gave a faint “hmm.” I knew what he was trying to say. I know why He Shaoming insisted on leaving. I didn’t ask him, and he didn’t tell me the truth. He just played tricks and teased me.

19 I didn’t know the day

he Shaoming left. Yesterday

he collected a large basket of things for me from the market to relieve my boredom, and the next day he left without saying goodbye. I sulked. I was angry with him for three years. I didn’t send him a letter for three years.

I looked out of the window, looking at the snow outside, He Shaoming was looking at me, watching me enjoy the snow. He Shaoming and

I are not like this.

At that time, there were no red plum trees in my house, but all peach trees. On the third day of March, all the peach blossoms in my house bloomed, reflecting the red sky of the capital. The third day of

March is the day of hunting.

I didn’t want to go, but I heard that there was a snow fox paying tribute, so I asked my brother for a reward. The emperor’s brother was only in his twenties at that time, and his temper was not as steady as it is now. He only said that he wanted me to accompany him. I curled my lips and agreed. On a sunny day in

March, I was a little stuffy. I was used to being spoiled in the palace. I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw the bright light.

Ewha chattered beside the carriage, saying that I should go out more to take care of myself and not always be lazy in the palace. Unwilling to listen, I lowered the curtain of the carriage and replaced the fragrance of the spirit in the carriage with the fragrance of fruit, feeling a little cooler in front of my eyes.

I suddenly opened the curtain of the car and glanced left and right. There was no indigo figure. He Shaoming did not come.

I pulled down the curtain of the car and felt that He Shaoming was too narrow-minded. He is angry with me because I quarreled with him the other day. The

carriage was not slow, but it was bumpy all the way. The pear flower saw my expression and brought me a lot of seasonal melons and fruits. I pushed them away and held my head and looked at the floating in the distance.

I asked my brother if he was going to change his uniform. He pretended not to hear me. He knew I was fooling around.

Passed for a long time, the emperor elder brother sees the childe in hunting ground gallops on horseback, some are moved, I nodded a few words gently, the emperor elder brother changed military uniform.

“Brother Huang wants to bring back the rabbit, alive.” After

the elder brother left, I asked the pear flower to take the yellow fruit on the elder brother’s desk, only to see the elder brother’s father-in-law often squint at me. I pretended not to see and ate the whole plate of fruit.

I don’t know what the fruit is called. I don’t remember these. I have eaten all the fruit on my own table.

Waiting for a long time, listening to the pear flower nagging which childe came back, I lazily raised my eyelids, as usual, He Shaoming is the first prize. Every time he can bring live rabbits, snow-white dumplings, lovely tight, I have been raising. Your family raised a lot, and two died. I cried for a long time, secretly, and others did not know.

Ewha bent over and whispered to me, saying that it was Mr. Cui who was standing in the distance. I raised my eyebrows and saw her blush. I’m used to seeing my little daughter’s feelings. I have heard the name of the second son of Cui. My brother often talks to me. He is the red man in front of my brother.

Sixteen-year-old young man, with picturesque features, white robes and wide sleeves, Zhilan Yushu, gentle and elegant, a gentleman.

He is a handsome young man.

See by mistake for life, Cui Qing to me, probably is such a person. Tall

on horseback, bookish in every move. The word

“Cui Qing” murmured in my mouth. I hung my head, blushed, and turned into a pink. It was the first time in fourteen years that I blushed at a man.

Cui Qing has a good skin, and her belly is full of knowledge, so she can’t blame the young girl for thinking of spring. On the third day of

March, the peach blossoms in my house are the most beautiful in four years.

I brewed the peach blossom wine with my own hands, and I want to give it to Cui Qing with my own hands. I wonder if he likes it. From that day on,

I let people ask a lot about Cui Qing. He hasn’t married yet, and he hasn’t married yet. I laughed secretly. He Shaoming saw

me laughing again. He was wiping the new sword at that time. He lowered his head and asked me what I was laughing at. I told him that I was laughing at him. Sixteen years old, it’s time to find a good family.

He Shaoming took a deep look at me, and his eyes were filled with emotion.

“Ah Ying, if you have a sweetheart, tell me.”

I nodded, but I didn’t want to tell him, or he would ignore me in a fit of pique. When I was

thirteen years old, I met a young man in Taixue. He was cute and likable. I asked He Shaoming casually, but He Shaoming didn’t tell me. He asked me whether he was good-looking or the young man was good-looking. I was annoyed by him and said he was ugly. He Shaoming had a black face and did not speak for three days. At that time, I felt that he Shaoming was quarreling with me like a little girl and didn’t care about him at all.

I gave Cui Qing peach wine, Cui Qing accepted, I was very happy, that day to eat a dish of snow crisp. I just didn’t dare to do anything more. If my brother knew it, he would scold me for being rude. Later,

I couldn’t hold back and sent things several times. Cui Qing accepted them. Every time I saw him send someone to thank him, I was always very happy. It’s just that Ewha is a little unhappy. She feels that Cui Qing has no manners. He should have come to thank him himself. I shook my head and said she didn’t understand.

I naively thought that Cui Qing was shy and did not come to see me.

My princess mansion was given to me by my elder brother when I was ten years old. My elder brother especially favored me, because the concubines in his harem were so restless that they were afraid of disturbing me, so he wanted me to move out early. It’s just that my mother couldn’t bear to part with me. The night before I moved to the princess’s house, I listened to my mother all night in the palace. The mother cried again as she talked

at night with candles.

Now that I am thirteen years old, my mother is more and more at ease with me. I think that when I reach the end of the year, I will let Cui Qing move into the Princess Mansion. After

that, I became the little tail behind Cui Qing.

I went to the palace frequently this year, and I said that I missed my brother, but in fact, I just wanted to see Cui Qing more. I stood waiting in front of my brother’s study, braving a sunny day, just waiting for him to come out and call me “Your Highness.”.

This time I was a little bolder and talked to Cui Qing.

Cui Qing saluted me as usual and said, “See the princess.”. I heard his cold voice and wanted him to stop calling me Princess and call me “Ah Ying.”.

I smiled at him and told him to get up, and as I sidled past, I asked him quietly if he liked what I had given him. Cui Qing bowed and said that all the things I sent were good.

I lowered my head and thought about what he meant by this. When I looked up again, I heard Cui Qing say, “I’m going to retire.”. I looked at Cui Qing’s tall and straight back like a pine, and felt that he was indifferent to me and did not take me to heart. Maybe I’m spoiled by others, but it’s all right. I like him to be cold.

In this way, after more than four months, it is already late autumn.

Cui Qing is still light to me, I can not hold my breath, feel that he really did not put me in mind.

Every time Cui Qing saw me, she would salute and call out “Your Highness.” I pretended to be reserved and said “um,” like a stranger. But he took all my things. When I entered the palace

that day, I heard the orioles raised by my brother on the long corridor, and I was fascinated for a moment.

The ladies of the court were whispering, but I didn’t really take it to heart. I only heard them say, “Lord Cui.”. They are carrying tribute plates and talking about my sweetheart.

From the irrelevant population, I learned that my sweetheart was leaving Beijing, and the destination was Huaiyun County, Jingzhou. Cui Qing was raised by the geomantic omen of the capital. He was not used to living in a remote place like Jingzhou, not to mention being a county magistrate. Cui Qing has great ambition. I don’t know what brother Huang is thinking.

I did not listen again, ran straight to the emperor brother there, but saw Cui Qing came out.

“Jingzhou, it’s very far away.”

I stood in front of Cui Qing. Cui Qing saluted and called out “Princess.” Then she looked at me lightly and said, “My duty is to me.”. Cui Qing knew that I had a stubborn temper, so she just fobbed me off with her brother. When

I was young, I blurted out that I would intercede for him. I just thought Cui Qing didn’t want to go.

“How dare you bother the princess?”

Cui Qing’s eyes are light alienation, what he does is light, I suddenly do not want him to be like this. I don’t know how I think of the swan geese in the sky.

Before I could say anything, I saw my brother come out. I haven’t told brother Huang about me and Cui Qing yet. I bit my lip and couldn’t talk to brother Huang.

I went back to the mansion, and I thought about where I was not good to Cui Qing? Every time I went to the palace, I would pace in front of my brother’s study for a long time. On a sunny day, I just wanted to see Cui Qing. It’s the first time I’ve been so attentive to people

since I was a kid. In the past, my mother often told me that only others were worried about me, and I couldn’t let me worry more. Smiling, I asked my mother what to do if she had a sweetheart in the future. My mother just held me in her arms and said that it was a great blessing to be taken in by me.

Ewha saw that I didn’t eat much dinner and asked me what was wrong. I shook my head and rested on the couch. It is reasonable to say that I should not interfere in Cui Qing’s private affairs. This is taboo. I have a sense of propriety.

It was almost time for Cui Qing to leave, so I secretly wrote to him, “Have a safe journey.”. Cui Qing replied to me very quickly, with only one polite word: “I’m sorry to bother the princess.”.

He doesn’t want to be close to me.

Cui Qing is intelligent by nature, and there should be no lack of women’s secret love since childhood. He knows my mind, but he doesn’t respond to me. As long as

he agrees, he will not be an official. Cui Qing has the ambition of Jiuzhou. He wants to be an official, but I don’t. I want him to be my son-in-law.

Although there were no clear rules, as long as the princess recruited the emperor’s son-in-law, the emperor would promote the emperor’s son-in-law, but they were all empty positions. At the end of the day, it’s all about pleasing the princess.

I give Cui Qing things Cui Qing is no way not to accept, born people, let me difficult to distinguish Cui Qing’s heart.

Cui Qing left, I want to find him, go to Jingzhou to find him. I passed my birthday in the

twelfth month of the lunar year, but Cui Qing was not in the capital. Did he know that I had died?

He Shaoming asked me when to throw Hydrangea, I ignored him, He Shaoming insisted on pestering me, but also said to rob my Hydrangea. If I throw Hydrangea, it will only be thrown into Cui Qing’s hands.

I said to He Shaoming, I want to go to Jingzhou to play. My mouth is clumsy, and I can’t speak in a roundabout way. He Shaoming can see through my mind.

He Shaoming looked at me and asked, “Ah Ying, are you going to find Cui Qing?”

I was silent for a moment and stared at him.

Ah Ying, he doesn’t wear the purse you embroidered for Cui Qing. Shall you sew one for me, and I will wear it every day?

“How do you know?”

It was daytime, and I listened to the wind blowing frost outside the window, sitting opposite He Shaoming in the Princess Mansion.

“Ah Ying, originally we had a baby to kiss, but you didn’t know.”

He Shaoming did not answer me, but told me that he and I were a natural couple.

He Shaoming delighted me. I found it the year before last.

He Shaoming said that he carved my flute with crabapple flowers and asked me to go to his house to get it. I couldn’t wait, so I went early.

That day, I was defeated and ran away.

I went to Jingwangfu, and it was said that He Shaoming was not there, so I waited for him in the study. I waited for a quarter of an hour, but He Shaoming still didn’t come, so I turned around in his study.

I saw that the picture hanging on the wall behind He Shaoming’s desk was a picture of crabapple after rain. I smiled. I had drawn it for him, but he was a treasure. When

I was walking, the cuff pulled the inkstone on the bookcase, and one of them accidentally knocked over his inkstone. He Shaoming said that it was the inkstone that the emperor’s brother had given him, but he had been reluctant to use it. The

ink spilled all over the floor. I was in a hurry to pick up the inkstone. I looked up and saw a hidden compartment on one side of the case. I looked sideways. There was a small lock hanging on one side, but it was not locked.

Inside was a slender box. I took it out. He Shaoming was used to it. I didn’t know what he would hide. The

box is made of sandalwood, carved with crabapple flowers, and the flavor becomes stronger and stronger after being placed in the dark for a long time. When

I opened it, there was a wind outside the window before I took out the contents. The wind was so strong that the rice paper in the box was blown out of order. There was a rush of footsteps

outside the door, and Ho Shao-ming called out “Ah Ying.”.

He Shaoming had just returned from the racecourse, and his Hu clothes had not yet been changed. He stood on the edge of the door frame, his broken hair sticking to his forehead, and his breath was slightly confused. He Shao-ming watched me scrambling to pick up the rice paper that had fallen all over the floor. The wind had not yet stopped, blowing the rice paper in my hand, which was densely covered with the word “Ah Ying.”.

I raised my head and looked at He Shaoming. The wind blew up my broken hair and blocked the light in my eyes. After

that day, He Shaoming and I pretended that nothing had happened.

Later, when I died, He Shaoming told me that he wanted to marry me.

I had a fight with He Shaoming. He broke the rules and broke the paper. And I have someone in my heart. It’s Cui Qing. I won’t promise him. After

that, He Shaoming and I seldom spoke, and when we met, we just exchanged greetings. He Shao-ming was no longer alone with me. I looked at him coldly. He was surrounded by red flowers and green willows. I felt a little uncomfortable. He should have burned the rice paper with “Ah Ying” written all over it. On the ninth day of the

fifth month, the emperor’s brother went south to make an inspection tour. I took advantage of the loophole and ran away from the capital.

I packed the soft gold and silver and ran over the wall in the night. There are guards around the

princess mansion, they found me, after all, I did not learn the real skills, only some three-legged cat kung fu, or He Shaoming taught me, He Shaoming also laughed and said that my fists and feet seemed to tickle him.

I can’t hide from these guards. I can’t hide. The palace is strictly forbidden, and the script is full of lies.

They didn’t catch up with me because I put the knife on my neck. I was too bold. In fact, I don’t usually make these jokes, but I really miss Cui Qing.

I saw a group of guards panicked and ran out in a panic.

I got into the carriage that had been prepared for a long time and walked away. The

carriage had been going for a little more than half an hour when it suddenly stopped.

I don’t think I can run much longer, because I heard in the carriage that I was lockdown of a city. Because of me, lockdown of a city, the emperor’s brother is not in Beijing, but the mother is still in the harem. I changed my clothes in the carriage, got out of the carriage, gave the coachman some silver, and let him go. He didn’t recognize me. I only told him that I had escaped from debt.

I hid in the crowd and listened to the people around me complain. I’m not sure for a moment, and I don’t know whether to go back or not. Just when I was hesitating, the gate suddenly opened, and the soldiers guarding the city said that the man had been found.

I went out of the capital and walked along the road. I had already remembered the road. I had been thinking about this idea for half a year.

Out of the capital, is the water. I found a fishing boat, got on the boat, and unloaded the bundle I was carrying. I was lying on the fishing boat, looking at the blue sky and the light clouds. Suddenly I was afraid. I was too bold. I laughed. After a long day

of tossing and turning, it was already evening when I reached the shore. I picked out a number of inns and finally booked them. I asked for a first-class room and rested down. I slept deeply.

Early in the morning, I was woken up by the cries of hawkers on the street. I called out “pear flower” irritably, but no one answered me.

I didn’t eat anything yesterday, because I was thinking about running, and I didn’t attend to it. Now I just feel empty.

I pushed open the door, and the bartender came up gallantly and asked me what I wanted. I asked him to bring some light food, and he could see that I was a spoiled young lady who would not leave. When I sent him away with a reward, I was a little disgusted and threw some broken silver to him.

Small porridge steaming, looking at Keren, I only ate a mouthful, then spit out. This porridge is too sticky, and this rice is not the imperial Zengcheng Simiao rice I often eat, this rice is too old and hard to eat. The palace is used to comfort, these things, eating the heart is uncomfortable. When I

left the inn, I found a carriage, and the driver saw that I was dressed in extraordinary clothes and sitting on the ground with a shy face. I frowned at him and spat at him fiercely. After asking a number of rickshaw pullers, he finally picked one with a kind and talkative face. I didn’t bring much money with me, so I saved as much as I could.

When I told him I was going to Weishui, he nodded and told me that there was some chaos there, so I should pay more attention to my daughter’s family. I hesitated for a moment, the nearest way to Jingzhou is through the Wei River.

I looked out of the carriage, and I saw all kinds of things that I had never seen before, grasshoppers and wooden gadgets, and I met people playing with guns, and there were a lot of people watching, and there was a lot of noise, and I felt strange and strange. Someone in the crowd looked at me, and I was stunned and put down the curtain with a guilty conscience.

I arrived at Weishui in the middle of the night, and I wanted to find an inn to stay as I did the day before yesterday.

Weishui is not as busy as the previous place, and the road is very cold. When it was dark, I walked faster.

Suddenly someone walked quickly past me and reached out to pull my bundle. I clenched it very tightly. When the man saw that I wouldn’t let go, he shouted. Several people ran out from the wall. They were all dusty, in the mouth of the pear flower. This kind of person is called a beggar.

Weishui is very poor, but I didn’t expect to meet a beggar. I was raised in the palace when I was born, and I seldom left the palace.

The beggar was still pulling my bundle, and one of them said that if I didn’t let go, he would break my arm. I was so frightened that I pulled out the dagger from my waist and waved it without any rules. The bundle contains all my softness. If I lose it, it will be difficult for me to go back to Beijing alive. One of

them hit me on the hand with something, and I ate the pain and scattered the bundle. Seeing this, they grabbed my bundle and left. I saw that the bundle was gone and my hands were beaten blue and purple. My heart became more and more sour. I squatted in the corner and secretly wiped my tears.

The streets were clear and cold, and no one saw me.

I covered my hands and remembered that at this time, the pear flowers served me to sleep, and the fruit fragrance of the princess’s house, which I always liked very much, even to sleep. If only I hadn’t left the palace, I thought, crying out of breath.

When I think about these two days, it seems that I have suffered a great grievance. I’ve only been out of the palace for two days, and I’ve been robbed of money. I often hear people say that good women have been bullied, but fortunately they are only greedy for my money.

I couldn’t stop crying. The evening breeze of the Wei River was very gentle. My tears were blown askew. I looked at my clothes. Because of the trouble just now, I cut my clothes.

30

“Ah Ying, come back when you are tired of running.”

A clear voice sounded above my head, and I looked at the indigo figure in front of me with tears in my eyes and rushed to embrace him. He touched my head gently, and I cried in his arms, bitterly.

I followed He Shaoming into the carriage. He asked someone to prepare a meal for me. I had no appetite. He Shaoming saw the tears on my face and wanted to wipe them off for me. I reached out and patted him away. He Shaoming was stupefied, even I was stupefied, and then we had nothing to say. When the

carriage was about to turn around, I lay on the carriage, closed my eyes and asked He Shaoming about the city gate.

“Yes.”

He Shaoming only replied to me with one word. He knew I had not suffered enough and would not turn back.

I don’t open my head and bite my lip. He Shaoming knows me too well. He knows everything I do like the palm of his hand. He Shaoming told me that he had been sending people to follow me for fear of my accident. I asked him if the beggars who robbed money were arranged by him. He Shaoming shook his head and told me that the people he arranged would not hurt me.

I asked him why he didn’t come to save me when I was robbed of money. He Shaoming shook his head and said I was stubborn and refused to bow my head.

He took the medicine for me and asked me if I wanted to find Cui Qing. I nodded. He Shaoming was stunned and turned the car around.

I opened my eyes and looked at He Shaoming. His eyes were full of smiles, as if he was laughing at me.

He Shaoming sent someone to report back to the palace. I don’t know what excuse he used, but he really took me to Jingzhou.

Jingzhou, Huaiyun County, not as remote as I thought, Cui Qing led people to rebuild the levee to prevent floods, and built Jinling Temple to distribute grain.

The local people say that Lord Cui is a God sent from heaven to save people.

I told He Shaoming that I would go to see Cui Qing alone. He Shaoming lowered his eyes and said hello.

I secretly climbed over the wall and slipped to Cui Qing’s residence. There was no one in his residence, only a handyman and a cook. I concluded that Cui Qing was in the study, so I slipped into the study and opened the paper window of Cui Qing’s study.

“Cui Qing!”

I looked at him in surprise and shouted out. I hadn’t seen him for a long time. Cui Qing became colder and more handsome.

“Princess, how did you..”

When Cui Qing saw me, he hurriedly put down his brush and hurried out. He looked at me and frowned slightly.

“I came to you secretly.”

I smiled brightly at him and wanted to ask him how he was doing.

When I came here to see Cui Qing for the first time, I thought that since he had a cold temper, I would put down my posture and warm him up. I used to be too arrogant and always put on princess airs. Since it’s the one I care about, it doesn’t matter.

Cui Qing looked at me indifferently and said that I was fooling around and wanted to send me back to Beijing.

I looked at him and felt that Huaiyun County was in the dog days of summer.

Cui Qing said nothing more, but held the brush tightly in his hand.

I lowered my head and muttered, “I know.”.

In fact, I cried, but I lowered my head, and I don’t know if Cui Qing saw it.

Cui Qing called someone to hire a carriage for me. I watched the man coming and staring at me. I didn’t care. I just lowered my head and didn’t speak. Finally, I looked up and said, “No.”.

Cui Qing saw the tears on my face and frowned again. He really had no affection for me.

I turned around to walk out of his residence and saw He Shaoming leaning lazily on the door and looking at Cui Qing carelessly.

“There’s only one person worth thinking about. Chiang Ying, you really don’t have a good eye.”

He Shaoming’s voice is not small, Cui Qing heard, looked over, I was afraid of Cui Qing’s eyes, pushed He Shaoming out. When I

got into the carriage, I still cried. He Shaoming was tired of hearing this, so he threw a book on the carriage. I was startled by him and stared at him.

“Chiang Ying, I seldom see you cry.”

“If you feel wronged, I’ll beat him up for you to vent your anger.”

He Shaoming’s eyebrows and eyes were full of impatience, and his tone of voice was somewhat undisciplined. After

I fell out with Ho Shao-ming, he no longer called me “Ah Ying,” nor did he call me “Princess.” He just called me “Jiang Ying.” We had a lot of differences.

I shook my head and turned away from him. With a “tut,” Ho Shao-ming turned his eyes away irritably and left me alone.

I thought about Cui Qing’s cold eyes and what would happen if I was robbed of money that day but He Shaoming didn’t come.

I should die, I do not have any craft, but was raised by the emperor brother, was spoiled by many people, let me forget the suffering of the world. Cui Qing and

I are not the same kind of people.

He Shaoming thought I had suffered enough and was disheartened by Cui Qing. When he returned to Beijing, he was as intimate with me as before, but he refused to call me “Ah Ying” any more.

Brother Huang came back early because of me. The emperor’s brother and mother went into the princess’s mansion and asked me if I was safe on the way, scolding me at the same time, which made me feel at ease.

A few days later, I suddenly remembered that I met a beggar in the Wei River that day. He Shaoming came to pick me up, and he called me “Ah Ying.”.

He Shaoming treated me better and better than before. I told He Shaoming to stop treating me as a treasure. I would not marry him. He Shaoming did not listen, or every day in front of my eyes.

I made it clear to He Shaoming, but He Shaoming was like an earless root. I even broke the carving he gave me, but He Shaoming stopped for a few days and came again. I just kept him cold and let him make a scene. In fact, I feel guilty, He Shaoming seems to be holding me to the sky, but I will not please him.

So after a long time, it was time for Cui Qing to return to Beijing.

When Cui Qing returned to Beijing, I went to see him quietly and took a distant look. He was dressed in white and stood like a pine.

I think I still have him in my heart.

It’s just that I fell on him in my life.

I began to send things to Cui Qing’s house like running water. Master Cui and his wife knew about it and were flattered to bring many people to thank me.

I looked at the frosty Cui Qing and smiled.

As the saying goes, men chase women, separated by mountains, women chase men, separated by yarn.

My brother and my mother knew about it and asked me what it meant. I told them that I had a happy person a long time ago. The emperor’s brother wanted me to marry Cui Qing, but I didn’t agree. I wanted Cui Qing to put down his official position willingly.

Later, I learned that I was too naive, someone spoiled me, and I forgot myself.

I sent things, Cui Qing returned intact every few days, this trouble, all the people in the capital know.

Chaoyang Princess Chang is infatuated with Cui Er’s son.

The emperor elder brother also knew, cold face is about to punish, I hurried to stop. It’s just that Lord Cui beat Cui Qing on the board, and he was punished because of me. I personally went to Cui Fu to see him, Cui Qing lying in bed, a little pale, but still forcefully said to me, let me not bother here.

I lost my voice for a moment like a lump in my throat.

He Shaoming did not make a deadlock with me because of this matter, but I can see that he came to me a lot less often and talked less.

I have been to Cui Fu several times, but none of them was declined by Cui Qing. Someone in the

house gave me advice, and I listened to it. I asked around what Cui Qing liked. If he liked the guqin, I would learn it. If he liked poetry and books, I would also learn it. He liked to be an official. I even went to the emperor’s brother to ask for an official position for Cui Qing, but the emperor’s brother drove me out and grounded me.

I think impassability, I am right Cui Qing, really on the heart, but why is he more and more cold to me.

Later, when I went to find Cui Qing, Cui Qing was lying on the bed. I looked at his pale face and threw myself in front of him and asked him what was wrong. Cui Qing looked at me with his deep eyes and did not speak for a long time. Only then did

I realize that my brother had punished him and demoted him because I had asked for an official position for Cui Qing. This was not my intention. After

that, Cui Qing didn’t want to make false promises to me. As soon as he saw me, he walked away and kept silent, as if he were hiding from the God of pestilence. Everyone in

the capital is spreading my jokes, and even a bunch of people in the princess’s mansion are being ridiculed.

35

That night I went to bed and let all the servants in the temple go out. When I was about to lie down, I heard a noise at the window. When I got up to look, I saw a figure jumping in. I opened my eyes wide and was about to shout when he covered my mouth.

It’s He Shaoming.

“Jiang Ying, I beat up that coward Cui Qing.”

“Chiang Ying, if you humiliate yourself like this again, I’ll beat him.”

He Shaoming finished and looked at me quietly. His eyes were a little gloomy.

He Shaoming hooked his lips and suddenly bent over the hand he had covered my mouth and kissed it. Without his hand, he would have kissed my lips.

I stared at him, He Shaoming was just a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, so he put down his hand, jumped out of the window neatly, looked back at me, and laughed wantonly. The moon fell on him that night, like a layer of soft light, the moonlight in June, brewing ambiguous feelings. My heart moved and I read his name, He Shaoming. After

that, I restrained myself and became indifferent to Cui Qing. I was afraid that Cui Qing would suffer.

I am seventeen years old, and my brother asked me to choose a candidate as soon as possible.

My mother has told me many times that He Shaoming is my lover. I don’t listen. I still have Cui Qing in my heart.

Recently there has been some gossip in the capital. Li Hua gritted her teeth and said to me, “Cui Qing, we’re getting married!”

At that time, I was playing with the carved jade ring of crabapple in my hand. With a clear sound, the jade ring fell to the ground and broke into two halves.

I personally asked Cui Qing, Cui Qing said yes, then pulled away my hand pulling his cuff, and never spoke to me again.

I smashed all the things I could smash in my house. When Ewha saw me like this, she cried and ran to find her brother. I held her back and wouldn’t let her go. Cui Qing also went to the palace banquet

Lunar New Year’s Eve. I drugged Cui Qing. Because his wedding day with the young lady was in February after the New Year.

I asked someone to put medicine in Cui Qing’s food. Cui Qing ate some food and felt that she was not clear-headed, so she went out for a walk. I followed him quietly and saw him fall in the snow. It was cold on the snow. I rushed up and picked up Cui Qing. This was the first time I held Cui Qing.

I couldn’t carry him on my back, so I dragged Cui Qing along the path. There was no one on the path, and there were few people on this road at ordinary times. I dragged Cui Qing to a side hall. In fact, I had already prepared it.

I dragged Cui Qing to bed, panting and wiping my sweat. I’m too bold.

I carefully untied Cui Qing’s clothes, took off his boots, and then took his hair crown. I carefully described Cui Qing’s handsome eyebrows and eyes. I could only do this. I drugged Cui Qing and made him fall asleep. I dare not use aphrodisiacs. Cui Qing will hate me.

I just looked at him all night.

I had already prepared a statement for Ewha and asked her to go back to Lord Cui, saying that Cui Qing had been left behind by the princess, but he dared not say anything more. At first, Ewha tried to stop me from doing this. I didn’t care. I just said that if she didn’t help me, I would expel her from the princess mansion.

Cui Qing woke up and wanted to get up. I saw that he was struggling, so I went to help him. When Cui Qing saw me, she was stunned, then saw the clothes scattered on the ground, and suddenly lost her voice.

I whispered in his ear, “Cui Qing, let’s get married.”

Cui Qing did not speak for a long time, and he turned his back.

Cui Qing Cong Ying, he naturally knows that nothing happened, just lonely men and widows in the same room, if it gets out, my reputation will suffer a disastrous decline in the future.

“Chiang Ying, do you think I should have feelings for you?”

I straightened my clothes, Cui Qing’s tone was cold, and there was a mountain between us.

I want to pull Cui Qing to go out, Cui Qing shook off my hand, put on clothes, a person went out. I followed him closely, and the cold wind blew in my face with a blade in my mouth. My eardrop fell to the ground with a “patter”, and no one cared. It was

passed on to my brother’s study, but he refused to see me. I knelt outside the hall for seven days and seven nights, and there came Cui’s son-in-law, who refused people thousands of miles away and had no affection for me. He Shaoming didn’t come on

my wedding day. I heard from others that Prince He was going to guard Ximen Pass and set off today. After marrying

Cui Qing, his temperament changed greatly. He was no longer cold to me. His eyes became affectionate and he drank every day to drown his sorrows. I know that Cui Qing and I can never go back. Ewha also said that I had changed. She said that I had become a little like Cui Qing. I had become light on many things, except for my son-in-law.

“Princess.”

I was stupefied for a moment. It was He Shaoming who called me. He called me with a slight smile. In a trance, I thought I had returned to the past.

I glanced at He Shaoming, picked up the book on the couch, and looked at the trivial life inside. In the five years of yuanhe, Princess Chaoyang and Prince Cui left.

He Shaoming talked with me about the past, and I told him to shut up with some annoyance. He Shaoming did not listen, continued to say, I simply turned my back to him, looked at the book, this book is not good-looking, net is some small things that couples get along with.

He Shaoming talked alone for a while. Seeing that I ignored him, he mentioned Cui Qing, saying that he was not doing well in prison and asked me if I was distressed. He looked at me leisurely and made tea by himself.

I put down the book, Cui Qing will be all right, the emperor brother is only a small punishment, will not always lock up Cui Qing. Brother Huang is an open-minded gentleman. He won’t punish people because of his face stabbing. It’s just that Cui Qing has bad luck, plus my reasons. It’s just that brother Huang’s method is really not good, and it will arouse people’s criticism.

I have to do something loud to make my brother’s heart fall firmly in his stomach. Others chew the root of my tongue, I am nothing, I am a heartless, but the emperor brother is different.

I put down my notebook and said I was going to see Cui Qing. I glanced at He Shaoming and looked at his expression.

He Shaoming, as if he had guessed, came to me and stretched out his arm. Holding He Shaoming’s arm,

I got off the couch. He Shaoming familiarly picked up the cloak he had already prepared, put it on for me, and tied the belt for me. Watching He Shaoming carefully tie the belt for me, and seeing the tender feelings between his eyebrows and eyes, my eyes were sour.

He Shaoming raised his eyebrows to look at me and asked me softly how he was. I glared at him. He picked up the umbrella from the door and held it for me. I accept all the good intentions of

He Shaoming, but I can’t stop him.

He Shaoming shamelessly squeezed into my carriage. Instead of calling me Princess, he called me Jiang Ying. I frowned slightly and gave a faint “um” to hear him talk about his guard over the years. He Shaoming is funny. I can always be amused by him. I haven’t been so happy for a long time.

I went into the palace and told my brother that I wanted to see Cui Qing. My brother suddenly looked up. He was afraid that I would go back on my word. I comforted my brother and said I wouldn’t. After a long time, my brother promised me to see him. When I

left, I told my brother that I didn’t have to do this for me. My brother sighed and said nothing. The

prison was dark and damp, with a musty smell. He Shaoming saw that I looked unhappy and asked me if I wanted to go out. I shook my head and ran straight to Cui Qing’s cell.

Cui Qing leaned against the wall lazily. I frowned when I saw him like this. Cui Qing sneered and looked at me coldly.

I asked my entourage to throw a bag of things in front of Cui Qing, which contained all kinds of jewelry, which Cui Qing gave me. I was delighted when he gave me something, but he later told me that the jewelry was left over by his concubine.

I saved it well. I asked someone to carry a lot of things, which I gave to Cui Qing, but Cui Qing left them in the house and didn’t take them away.

I took out a carp pattern jade pendant from the bag, which was the best suet jade, threw it on the ground, smashed it into two halves with a clear sound. I smashed all the jade I gave him, and finally poured all the jade in the bag on the ground, breaking all the jade on the ground.

He Shaoming laughed out loud.

Cui Qing is staring at me, and I can’t see through him.

He Shaoming looked at my hand carefully to see if there were any scars, and whispered something that I didn’t hear clearly. He Shaoming began to laugh when he

got into the carriage. I asked him why he laughed. He Shaoming only said that I was really cruel. He Shaoming took out the book and covered his smile with the book, but when I read it, I remembered that he laughed like this when he did bad things.

When I was a child, He Shaoming and I were both studying in the Imperial College. At that time, He Shaoming was wilting. When

I dozed off, he would deliberately make a noise, provoking the teacher to turn around and stare at me, so that I was punished to copy books. He Shaoming admitted that he had hurt me and volunteered to copy the book for me. Three days later, I asked him, and he told me that he had forgotten, and I clearly saw the bad smile on his mouth. So my husband got angry and told the emperor about me, and I was punished by the emperor, all because of He Shaoming.

He Shaoming’s legs and feet are agile, so I always order him to climb the tree and pick fruit for me. He Shaoming picked the fruit and threw it to me honestly when he liked me, or he picked some small fruit and threw it on my head deliberately.

He Shaoming always catches some small insects to frighten me. He once caught a three-inch centipede and held it in front of me. He also said that he would throw it into my bed while I was sleeping. I was so frightened by He Shaoming that I sat on the ground and cried, but he stood aside and laughed so hard that he couldn’t stand up. He Shaoming had been bullying me

until I and him, and then we broke up.

When I got out of the carriage, He Shaoming held an umbrella for me and blocked the wind and snow. I looked at He Shaoming, who was much taller than me, and I couldn’t reach his head on tiptoe. He Shaoming noticed my line of sight, then slightly bent down and talked to me sideways. I always felt that he was laughing at me. After

He Shaoming returned to Beijing, he began to pester me every day.

Cui Qing was released. At that time, I was playing chess with He Shaoming. I was white and he was black. My hand trembled and put it in the wrong place. White was swallowed up. I put down my hand in a boring way. He Shaoming swept away his black chess. I saw that there were very few white chess on the chessboard.

“The princess is a little absent-minded.”

He Shaoming seemed to smile and played with the chess pieces in his slender hands. He asked me if I still liked Cui Qing. I shook my head. He Shaoming pulled up his cloak and walked out of the princess mansion. When he left, he said, “Don’t be afraid. He will support me.”.

“The snow in the capital is getting heavier and heavier today. The princess’s clothes have all been remade. The emperor has specially sent out a cloak for the princess with a new ferret skin. It will be delivered in a few days.”

The pear flower stuffed a hand stove into my hand, and I touched the hand stove, which was carved with crabapple patterns. I do not know when, I use a lot of things, are through the hands of He Shaoming. At this time

in the past, I would go to Qianfo Mountain with my mother and brother to pray for my brother’s rivers and mountains and for the people. A timely snow promises a good harvest. I hope there will be a good harvest in the coming year.

Not only the nobles, but also the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were going there.

He Shaoming crowded into a carriage with me, and I was not surprised. There are some rumors in the capital, I do not know how to say, left is just me and He Shaoming, Lihua said that some people say He Shaoming is an infatuation.

I do not care about these, the emperor brother is looking for someone to suppress, the emperor brother no matter how I and He Shaoming, I just divorced, the emperor brother think I can eliminate some worries is to accumulate happiness for him.

He Shaoming sat honestly and looked at me lazily, which made me a little uncomfortable. In the past, he was the most noisy, and he would not stop until he bullied me and cried. Just as I was about to ask, He Shaoming replied that I would kick him down, followed by civil and military officials, and he was afraid of losing face. I sneered, he is the world’s most afraid of shame, I looked at the accompanying carriage, saw Cui Qing’s carriage, I raised my eyebrows, is to understand.

“Look at you, Chiang Ying. I won’t mess with you.”

I covered my mouth with a book and laughed out loud. He Shaoming laughed with me. It was rare to see He Shaoming so honest.

The world is full of people, and there is no one better than him. Young men here are hard to find.

The prayer ceremony was a little complicated. I finished it quickly and left early. He Shaoming said he would teach me the slingshot and let me go out to look for him. When I left, I felt that there were always people looking at me, but when I looked back, there was no trace.

He Shaoming brought me a slingshot polished with the best jade, which was the best. I glanced at it and said it was a pity that such a good thing was made into a slingshot.

He Shaoming said it was not a pity, so he grabbed the slingshot from my hand, grabbed the stones from the ground, and hit them in the distance. Fruits fell from the trees. I looked at He Shaoming in surprise. He Shaoming raised his eyebrows at me and asked me to pick up the fruit.

I took the slingshot and imitated He Shaoming’s appearance, but I almost lost my sight.

“Tut.”

He Shaoming spit out the green bristlegrass in his mouth, held my hands from behind and taught me to pull the slingshot. I pursed my lips and felt a little uncomfortable. There was a sound in the

temple, and the officials came out of the temple.

I noticed a look, just want to turn around to see, but he Shaoming one hand pressed back, I hammered his arm, stared at him. I know, from behind, it looks like He Shaoming holding me in his arms. I was too close to He Shaoming to guarantee that the officials would not say anything. I didn’t care. I looked up at He Shaoming and only saw his sharp jaw.

He Shaoming doesn’t care about these trifles.

Just now, it was Cui Qing who was looking at me. I have been with him for a long time, and I can feel it. When I

got into the carriage, He Shaoming didn’t pester me any more. I opened the curtain and looked at Cui Qing. He didn’t ride in the carriage, but rode instead. Cui Qing didn’t look at me, but looked straight ahead. Yes, he never cared about me. The

Lunar New Year’s Eve is coming, and the palace is lively. In the past, it was necessary to hold a palace banquet to entertain officials. I was wondering if I was sick, but my brother wouldn’t let me do that. He wanted to see how I felt about Cui Qing. There were more rumors in the

capital, and more or less they entered the princess’s mansion. Everyone in the capital is talking about the marriage between Princess Chaoyang and Prince He. He Shaoming always took me through the streets on horseback

these days, but there was always a seemingly absent gaze staring at me, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Lunar New Year’s Eve beautiful day, the pear flower combed the fragrant bun near the clouds for me, and let people serve the clothes. The gold-engraved butterfly wore a short jacket of brocade, a pleated skirt of brocade, and a plain ferret cloak. He Shaoming and

I arrived at the same time. It was reasonable to say that it was against the rules for him to do so, but the emperor’s brother let him go. Maybe it was because he won the battle. He Shaoming wears a white cloak with golden silk and moire stripes, which is awarded by my brother. He looks like a scholar, but he can’t resist the undisciplined in his bones.

He Shaoming once told me that besides me, his ambition in this life is to be a rich and idle man.

He Shaoming turned over from his horse, and I leaned on the soft pillow to read the book. He approached and lifted the curtain of my car. He reached out and snatched the book from my hand. Ignoring him, I turned sideways and pulled out another book from the box. He Shaoming shook it again and snatched the book from my hand.

I simply threw all the books in the box to him, and he hugged me tightly and asked me if I wanted to come down for a walk. I pulled down the curtain of the carriage and called the pear flower to let the carriage go faster.

He Shaoming turned over a few steps and stepped on the carriage, lifted the windproof curtain and jumped in. He snatched the heater from my arms and said that it was snowing heavily outside and that it was warm in my carriage. He also swept down the snow on his shoulder, which happened to fall on my face. It was cold and made me tremble. My eyes were angry and I stared at his eyes with a hidden smile. For no reason, I have a long-lost loneliness.

He Shaoming suddenly came forward. I smelled the cold wind and snow on his body and the familiar bamboo fragrance. I stared at him and asked him what he was doing. He Shaoming stared at my lips. I felt a sudden panic in my heart, but I was at a loss.

He Shaoming’s slender forefinger twirled my lips. He was an inch away from me, and his breath was warm. His hand is not anxious not slow, my heart seems to be clenched, confused, I heard He Shaoming said my Rouge flower. When I came to my senses, He Shaoming had sat down safely, a little far away from me.

My face blushed, but I looked up and bumped into his wanton star eyes.

He Shaoming is a deviant. I should have known that.

When he saw my blushing face, his smile became deeper and deeper. I breathed a sigh of relief and told him that Cui Qing and I had been husband and wife.

I thought He Shaoming would leave without saying a word as he did three years ago, but I didn’t think he would just say that he would follow me.

I was stunned and lowered my eyes. He Shaoming really loved me deeply. I didn’t know how to treat him.

Just a moment, my mind was distracted, and he Xiaoshizi confused my mind.

I can’t tell how it is. I can only blame it on the loneliness in my heart caused by my separation from Cui Qing. I’m sorry for He Shaoming.

“Chiang Ying, when have I ever disliked you?”

I looked up at He Shaoming and felt that I had failed him all his life. I remembered that the young man covered with the moon turned over my window in the middle of the night and told me that he had beaten my sweetheart.

My mother was very happy to see me coming. She pulled me to sit down, held my hand in the palm of her hand, rubbed it softly, and smiled and asked someone to turn out a cloak for me. She insisted that I put it on for fear of freezing me. I will obey and receive the goodness of my mother. As I

listened to the eunuch sign up, I heard a cry of “Zhongshu Shiren.” It was Cui Qing. My mother’s hand stiffened, and I pulled out my hand to hold her hand and comfort her.

Cui Qing obediently saluted, and after the disaster of imprisonment, his complexion was somewhat reduced, but his demeanor remained the same. Without me to bind him every day, he should be much lighter. I gave a wry smile, the past, to find their own unhappy. When

Cui Qing knelt down and saluted, she looked up at me and pursed her lips. I closed my eyes and asked the pear flower to bring me some sour plums. To satisfy my cravings, I asked Ewha to take it with her. Above the

hall, singing and dancing, drinking crisscross, I used to look for Cui Qing in the crowd, used to, some difficult to change. I saw several dancers winking at him, and he sat still.

Not close to women, is the true color of Lord Cui.

I don’t want to squeeze into the Rouge pile, just like Cui Qing humiliated me at the beginning. At that time, I was single-minded and cried every other day, so that my body was not neat, and I still have the problem of crying against the wind.

Now I can sit still, and the pear flowers will set the dishes for me, and I can eat at ease.

I could feel that Cui Qing’s eyes were always floating towards me. I didn’t care. Anyway, I had nothing to do with him. Cui Qing was used to my kindness to him. In the past, when someone coveted him, I wanted to make trouble with him all afternoon. Cui Qing always said that I was vexatious. I shed tears and said that he was my sweetheart.

Brother Huang’s Yuqing Liquor is sweet and smooth. It is a good wine for tribute in recent years. I can’t put it down. I think of He Shaoming, who is addicted to alcohol, and I think he should be like me. I glanced at He Shaoming, who thought he was also looking at me, but I don’t know how long he looked at me. At this time,

I looked at him with a slightly drunk face. He Shaoming smiled at me, as bright as the stars falling all over the sky. He raised his glass to me, and I nodded, smiling like a flower.

He Shaoming really knows me best.

I wanted to go out of the temple to enjoy the breeze, so I asked the pear flower to say something to the emperor’s brother, and then I went out alone. I drank too much wine, and my footsteps were somewhat superficial. The plum blossoms in the

palace were the most beautiful in the Chengshuang Pavilion. I walked in, holding a jade bottle of wine in my hand.

I broke a plum blossom and sat in the snow, leaning against the plum tree and looking at the bright moon in the sky.

When a man is in the middle of the moon, he is as fresh as a new bath.

Behind me, my boots creaked on the fresh snow. I looked back doubtfully, but I couldn’t see the face of the man clearly. Maybe it was because I had drunk too much wine.

He came closer, and I recognized him. It was Cui Qing.

I called out “Lord Cui” in a well-behaved way, just as he had called me “Princess” in an alienated way. In front of and behind people, he calls me “the rising sun” only when he is close to my skin or when he is angry with me.

Cui Qing, dressed in white, stood in the snow, and the red plum was angry behind her. I would have been dazzled in the

past.

Cheng Shuangting, I shouldn’t have come here.

Cui Qing looked down at me without saying a word. Suddenly the wind blew the wine away. I leaned against the red plum tree and asked him what was the matter.

Cui Qing frowned, as if I did not expect to speak to him in such an indifferent tone, Cui Qing had already crushed the fire in my heart.

Thinking about it, I felt that Cui Qing might not trust me, so I told him that I was willing to sign tens of thousands of letters of divorce with him and send people to distribute them to the people in the capital.

Cui Qing still did not say a word, but he bent down in front of me and brushed away the fine snow falling on my hair.

I opened Cui Qing’s hand and asked him what he was doing with a smile.

“They say you are going to marry your prince.”

Cui Qing’s voice is a little hoarse, I deceive myself and others to think, is Cui Qing willing to look at me?

I nodded and took a sip of wine, and my mouth was full of sweetness.

Come to think of it, the last time I met Cui Qing was in prison. I haven’t seen him for nearly three months, but I didn’t realize it. I played with He Shaoming crazily and forgot everything.

Cui Qing did not speak to me again. He turned and walked away. I drank wine alone under the tree, and the jade bottle was empty. I raised my head and squinted at the falling snow, but I saw a man squatting in front of me, warm on his body.

47

“Nice.” I was so drunk

that I pinched the man’s chin and kissed him gently. Then I laughed and lay down in the snow.

The man was stunned and did not know how to act. I listened to his spoiled and helpless sigh, and my whole body was light. He picked me up, his chest was warm, and I was familiar with something unknown.

Later, I forgot all the things with the wine. Ewha only said that He Xiaoshi carried me back to the house.

The next day, I got up early, then let the pear flower in the back garden let people clean up at will, called the emperor brother to reward those face beasts, also have Su Huan. I asked someone to take them to the back garden, and I went to the back garden without dressing myself.

These people were all given to me by my brother to relieve my boredom. They all knew the sound of the harp and the rhythm of the flute. I let them play the music and lay on the couch and closed their eyes to listen. I only let Su Huan play music in front of me. I really love this child like a white dumpling.

After a while, I heard something in the distance. I didn’t open my eyes. I knew it must be He Shaoming who came at this time. He seemed to love climbing over the wall and never went to the front door. A shadow fell in front of

me, and the music stopped, calling “Your Royal Highness” up and down. I didn’t care, and let them continue.

He Shaoming saw that I ignored him, so he picked up my undressed hair and held it lightly in his hand.

He Shaoming is much bolder than before. I can’t figure out his temper after being outside for a long time.

I opened my eyes and told him to stay away from me. He Shaoming did not listen to me and refused to leave. I knew what he wanted to do. He wanted me to drive Su Huan out of the Princess Mansion.

I calmed down and asked Ewha to take Su Huan back to her room.

I knew that if I didn’t move Su Huan out of the Princess Mansion, He Shaoming would stay here all the time. No one else has anything to do with it. I just want to keep Su Huan. But I didn’t say, I just felt that I was a wimp as a princess, and I had to look at He Shaoming’s face.

He Shaoming found out my temperament, and he knew I couldn’t stand it, so he mentioned it every day. After half a month, I was annoyed by him, so I let him go. I just said that I would settle them down and find a good family for Su Huan.

Ho Shao-ming smiled and said, “Yes.”. He keeps his word. I trust him. The weather in the

capital is changing fast. On the third day of March, all the plum blossoms in my house have fallen. Since

He Shaoming returned to Beijing, my home has always been noisy, and I haven’t been so happy for a long time.

People are still talking about my marriage with He Shaoming. I asked He Shaoming. He Shaoming said he wished it was true. I smeared his face with Rouge in my hand. Cui Qing never allowed me to make trouble with him like this. He said I was out of line like that. I asked He Shaoming if he would go back to Beijing this time. He Shaoming said he wouldn’t go if I didn’t want him to go.

I don’t know how I treat He Shaoming at the moment. I know that the young ladies of those big families are gossiping in private. They are mostly scolding me. I stirred up a muddy water in the capital and harmed the young men of the two families.

I have a very bad reputation among the people, and I don’t think I’m worthy of He Shaoming.

In the final analysis, worthy of He Shaoming is at least an innocent woman. I got married with Cui Qing by imperial edict. After three years, even I don’t believe that I have such a deep bond with He Shaoming. More or less, I’m a little tempted. I don’t think I’m worthy of He Shaoming or Cui Qing.

Cui Qing hates me, and I deserve it.

He Shaoming is so nice. I watched him play with guns and swords in my house.

I looked at the green in the distance, and I felt that I should not delay He Shaoming. Some days ago, I did not have Cui Qing, He Shaoming accompanied me, but I feel that my heart is far away.

I thought about things I shouldn’t have thought about, and I wasn’t like that. In the past, He Shaoming turned a blind eye to my kindness and stumbled after Cui Qing. I took He Shaoming away, but now I pretend to have nothing to do with He Shaoming.

He Shaoming is right, my heart is cruel.

I asked He Shaoming to put down his pointed gun and said, “I’m not good enough for you.”

He Shao-ming stopped. He raised his hand to feel the sweat and shouted, “Jiang Ying, if you want to blame me, blame me for being greedy.”

I paused, but after a month or so, I was attracted to He Shaoming. Maybe earlier. Last month or three years ago? I can’t remember. I think carefully again, I to Cui Qing, can be regarded as true affection?

Young throb, is it me to Cui Qing, or to He Shaoming? I’m not sure myself.

In fact, I don’t deserve He Shaoming to treat me like this. I have ruined his sincerity. When I saw Cui Qing

again, it was in the study of the emperor’s brother. Brother Huang asked me how He Shaoming was, and he couldn’t sit still when he heard the rumors among the people. Just as I was about to open my mouth, I was informed that Lord Cui was coming. I received the words, to get up to go, the emperor brother called me, let me stay, I nodded.

Cui Qing is still dressed in white. He loves white clothes and has a gentle disposition. I think of the woman who wanted to marry him in those years, and I heard the pear flower say that it was a rare gentle thing.

Cui Qing didn’t look at me and told his brother about the important affairs of the imperial court. It sounded boring to me, and when my brother saw that I was impatient, he let me go. As soon as I came out of the study, Cui Qing followed me in a hurry. I glanced back at him and walked faster.

Cui Qing stopped me, and I just pretended not to hear.

Cui Qing grabbed my sleeve and forced me to look back at him. Reluctantly, I looked back and waited for him to speak. Cui Ching was at a loss for words and did not open his mouth. He just kept looking at me, looking at me deeply. His peach blossom eyes were full of affection, just like he used to call me “Chaoyang.”.

Cui Qing could not speak, and his face was slightly red. I had never seen him like this. Cui Qing had changed, and he had changed back to the gentleman who used to restrain himself and restore courtesy.

I nodded and was about to pull his hand away from my cuff.

Cui Ching called me “Chaoyang,” which made my ears tingle. I even wondered if Cui Qing found out that I was good. Flirting before the

Imperial Study, aren’t you afraid that the emperor will feel uncomfortable when he sees it?

I turned to look at the man who was shouting in the distance. It was He Shaoming. When I smiled, he was very eloquent and could throw a knife.

He Shaoming waved to me, came forward slowly, and clapped Cui Qing’s hand off. Cui Qing frowned, as if there was a layer of fog between her eyebrows and eyes.

Cui Qing let go of me and looked at He Shaoming again. He Shaoming looked unruly and did not take Cui Qing seriously at all. Cui Qing did not say anything, turned away, I thought, perhaps I and peerless childe Cui Hanzhi, this stop.

In the next few days, Cui Qing and I did not meet again, perhaps he Shaoming looked for Cui Qing, but I no longer care about these. The spring breeze in the

capital crushed the congealed clouds and disturbed the drizzle of embroidery needles.

Xiaoxuan hazy outside the window can not really see, the light rain hit the new green, thousands of bright lights, the view is amiable.

I accidentally knocked over the teacup, wet a piece of sleeve, He Shaoming words also did not practice, came forward to clean up the mess for me.

I asked He Shaoming how much dowry I would need if I got married. He Shaoming shook his head and said that no one wanted me to give it away. Because of folk rumors, I played a lot of such jokes with He Shaoming, and He Shaoming did not take it to heart.

I twisted my hands and asked He Shaoming if he would live in the Princess Mansion in the future. He Shaoming was stunned and said that if I was bored, he would often come to see me.

I turned my head and reluctantly pulled out six or seven pieces of rice paper from my cuff, which were densely filled with the words “Shao Ming.”.

“Ah Ying.”

I nodded. It was the first time in six years that he had called me “Ah Ying.”.

Tomorrow, I want to ask for the imperial edict from my brother. I don’t want to let He Shaoming down for the second time.

Do not see, do not hear, do not speak, and do not move.

My father wanted me to be a famous scholar.

I am a concubine, my mother’s family background is not high, but my father’s heart to me, I can not live up to my father.

Gentle, then gentleman.

I practiced calligraphy, wrote articles and learned, and my father praised me for my intelligent nature.

When I was older, my father asked someone to teach me how to ride and shoot. My father praised me for my intelligent nature and rewarded me with a pair of good jade jue. I didn’t say a word until my father allowed me to speak.

When I was fifteen this year, my father led me to Yuehua Academy. There were a group of people sitting in the main hall, Zhifei, Huajia, septuagenarian, with sticks. My father asked me to pay my respects to the scholars of the previous generation and fight with the Confucians.

Stand like a pine and speak like Twain.

Words are not urgent and slow, but every word is brilliant. Finally, I bowed lightly and said, “The younger generation is disrespectful.”. My father listened to the praise of others, and his face was benevolent. Before I was

sixteen years old, I lived like this. I heard people say that I was a talented person, and I was amazing, but I still didn’t change my face. My mother said I was cruel, like my father. When I was

sixteen years old, I met Princess Chaoyang, who was engraved in my bones all my life.

I don’t love her. I hate her. I hate her to the bone.

I met Jiang Ying for the first time during the hunting season. She was a 14-year-old girl at that time. When I looked at her, she buried her face, and her face turned red. I frowned slightly and then looked away. She was a princess once, and naturally she had nothing to do with me. After

that day, I received the peach blossom wine from Jiang Ying and was caught by my father. When my father asked me who sent it, I clenched my hand and loosened it, saying that it was Princess Chaoyang. My father sighed and told me not to respond, so as not to bring disaster. After that, my father sent someone to keep an eye on my residence, fearing that I would associate with Jiang Ying in private. In fact, at that time, I had just known Jiang Ying’s name.

I do not return what, because the ceremony does not agree, the father said to let someone give the princess a little word, a little thanks. Since I was a child, my father was in charge of everything, so I can’t say much. After

that, Jiang Ying began to send things to me, and my father asked me to accept them and send someone to reply as usual. I frowned and locked everything in the small box. The things sent by Jiang Ying were all imperial products. I had never used them, otherwise there would be trouble.

My father felt that there would be a big mess sooner or later, so he asked the emperor to let me go to Jingzhou to experience. At that time, the emperor valued me, so he promised his father and asked me to go to the palace to explain the matter.

I met Jiang Ying in the palace. Jiang Ying was not as rude and unreasonable as the folk rumors. At that time, I only felt that Jiang Ying was innocent. Jiang Ying asked me if I liked her gift, but I didn’t answer. I shouldn’t have anything to do with her.

Later, I went to Jingzhou and became the magistrate of Huaiyun County. Heaven was about to place a great responsibility on this person. My father taught me from an early age.

Jingzhou is a wild land. Sometimes I would wake up at night. When I woke up, I would put on my coat and drink tea in the yard to enjoy the moon. I sometimes think of Jiang Ying. When Jiang Ying smiles at me, her eyebrows and eyes are curved, like the bright crescent moon in the sky.

That day when I was practicing calligraphy in my study, there was some noise at my window. Just as I was about to get up, I saw a beautiful face in front of the window. She called my name “Cui Qing” happily.

I slightly frown, Jiang Ying this is nonsense.

I want to send Jiang Ying back to the capital safe and sound. Jiang Ying is the treasure of the whole royal family.

Jiang Ying smiled at me and said with a happy face that she had come to me. I can’t imagine how Jiang Ying sneaked out of the capital, a little carelessness, will go wrong. When I spoke, my tone was a little heavy, and Jiang Ying cried. Just as

I was about to say “sorry,” I saw He Shaoming, Prince of King Jing, standing at the gate of my residence. Others said that Princess Chaoyang and Prince of King Jing were two little guesses, which was a rare story. I couldn’t tell what I was thinking, so I went back to the study a little irritably.

Speaking of, Jiang Ying is the first person to give me something, I should not do this to her.

When I returned to Beijing, Jiang Ying seemed to take me more seriously. In fact, when Jiang Ying first sent me peach blossom wine, I knew that she was happy with me.

Jiang Ying seems to want to empty the princess mansion, send things to my house every day, I can not accept, this is the royal gift.

Jiang Ying is a born superior. I am the second son of the Cui family. I can’t be Jiang Ying’s son-in-law.

I returned Jiang Ying’s things intact, and there were rumors in the capital that Jiang Ying was infatuated with me.

My father scolded me with a cold face, and that was the first time my father was angry with me.

Jiang Ying came to see me. I was beaten and still on the bed. I couldn’t get up and salute her. I only felt that the rumor among the people was true. Jiang Ying was rude and unreasonable.

I made Jiang Ying cry again. A gentleman does things clearly. I still went to the Princess Mansion to apologize to Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying is spoiled, just think she is good to me, but do not ask me to be willing.

Jiang Ying asked me why I couldn’t marry her, and I only said that the emperor’s son-in-law had no official career. I am full of knowledge. Not only does my father want me to be my humerus, but I also have great ambition.

Jiang Ying, I can’t marry, and she is not my lover in this life.

Jiang Ying began to meet me everywhere, as long as I leave the house, will be able to meet Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying began to learn poetry and painting, and I watched Jiang Ying outsmart herself in front of me, looking a little happy. In fact, Jiang Ying is a child’s mind, and I shouldn’t haggle with her. Maybe she will understand when she grows up, and she may not be in love with me.

Jiang Ying is crazy. She asked the emperor for an official position for me. The emperor no longer trusted me, thinking that I had bewitched his sister and made her dead set on me. I was rewarded by the emperor, the emperor did not remove my official position, but demoted my official position. I couldn’t get out of bed for three months. In my heart, I had no feelings for Jiang Ying, but now I was disgusted. She was really rude and unreasonable. Prince

Jing came to me and told me coldly not to provoke Jiang Ying again. I replied lightly, “I have no such intention.”. King

Jing’s eyes flashed, and his legs and feet were among the best in the capital. Only then did I realize that when my father said that a hundred paces through the poplar, he should refer to such a person as He Shaoming, not me.

My father arranged the marriage for me and wanted me to get married quickly, otherwise sooner or later, I would be destroyed by Jiang Ying.

My marriage was specially arranged by my father after the Spring Festival, as soon as possible. I didn’t even know who my wife was, so I said yes.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ying drugged me that day, and when I woke up, I saw Jiang Ying’s tired face. She grew up, but her heart did not grow up. I looked at the messy clothes on the ground, but there was no discomfort on my body. I understood what happened last night.

Jiang Ying, she’s crazy!

I had some hatred for Jiang Ying at that time, but in the eyes of outsiders, I destroyed Jiang Ying.

Only I know, Jiang Ying, she ruined the glory of my life, I hate her.

I casually put on a dress and pushed the door to go out. The cold winter wind blew my hair in disorder. I heard a “patter.” It was Jiang Ying’s eardrop that fell on the road. She followed me step by step, lowering her head and carefully.

I married Jiang Ying. Instead of consummating my marriage with her, I read all night and left her alone in the main hall.

Jiang Ying cried secretly, I heard it. I was so cruel that I let her cry all night. Later in the morning, Jiang Ying hoarse voice also for me cloth dishes, asked me the food of the princess house can still eat, I still did not answer, looking at Jiang Ying lonely expression, I just feel disgusted. After

that, I started drinking every day. My official position was gone, and my father no longer paid attention to me. I seemed to be isolated from the world. At that time, I even thought that I would live a lonely life in the Princess Mansion.

When I drink, Jiang Ying accompanies me to drink. Jiang Ying drank more than I did. Her face was reddish and her eyes were shining like peach blossoms at the beginning of spring.

She curled up in my arms, sobbing in a low voice and asking me intermittently why I couldn’t be with her. I did not speak, just pushed away Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying pestered me, the whole person in my arms refused to go.

When Jiang Ying was tired of crying and fell asleep, she carried her to bed and tucked in the bedding. I can’t be cruel to Jiang Ying. My father taught me to treat people and things as a gentleman. I had already noticed the glass lamp that

Jiang Ying put outside the door of the side hall, but I didn’t pierce her. Jiang Ying’s cautious appearance moved me a little. But at the beginning, it was Jiang Ying who personally pulled me into the princess mansion. I sometimes think, if Jiang Ying is an ordinary lady, I will marry her, but Jiang Ying is the princess, the emperor’s favorite princess.

Jiang Ying began to try her best to amuse me, looking for a book from the street market, reading it to me through the wall at night, and wanting me to see her. Jiang Ying knew that I liked the sound of the piano, so she began to compile music and named it “Han Chao Zhi Yang”.

My father began to correspond with me, but his anger did not go away. Asked why I was so unable to control myself, I didn’t tell my father that Jiang Ying and I didn’t perform the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou, which was a crime of disrespecting the emperor.

Father said, as long as Jiang Ying and I leave, I can still be an official. I have thought about it, but my future official career will not be as open and aboveboard as before.

I even wondered if I would spend my whole life with Jiang Ying, but I was not reconciled.

I sent someone to find a woman to make Jiang Ying angry. Jiang Ying made a lot of noise, and finally cried and begged me not to take a concubine. I looked at Jiang Ying crying pear flowers with rain, I hesitated, I think this is not the wind of a gentleman. Perhaps, I have long lost the way of a gentleman, leaving only an empty shell, which makes people laugh. Repeat

the same trick, show mercy everywhere, watching Jiang Ying sleepless all night, I began to hate myself.

I don’t want to stay in the princess mansion anymore. I told Jiang Ying that I had brought Xiao Qing back and that she was my lover. Jiang Ying did not lose her temper with me as usual, but said lightly that I was happy.

My heart is in a panic.

In the middle of the night I went to the attic, and Xiaoqing play, deliberately shake out the figure, want to let Jiang Ying completely give up on me, heard footsteps, I know Jiang Ying saw.

Xiao Qing asked me why I did this. I lowered my head and said nothing. I regretted it in my heart. Jiang Ying is the only one who has ever been married to me in my

life.

Sure enough, I became my Zhongshu Shiren again, and Jiang Ying also became Princess Chaoyang Chang.

Back in my own house, I should have felt familiar, but I was not used to it. In the early morning of the past, it was Jiang Ying who told me to get up. The food in your house is not as delicate and delicious as that in the princess’s house, and my taste is raised by Jiang Ying.

I tossed and turned at night and put on my clothes to enjoy the moon. Remembering the look when I first met Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying blushed, as shy as if she had seen a man for the first time. Jiang Ying smiled at me with curved eyebrows, which made me feel distressed. When

I spoke to the emperor, I accidentally offended the emperor, and the emperor put me in prison with a cold face. I was in a mess in prison until I saw Jiang Ying. She was gorgeously dressed, beautiful and lovely, and beside her stood the charming prince of King Jing. I immediately felt that this was the beauty and the talent, a pair of beautiful people.

Jiang Ying smashed the things she gave me in front of me. I knew that Jiang Ying was no longer around me. She no longer loved me.

Later I met Jiang Ying, I saw her in high spirits, just want to pull her to ask her how she is, but Jiang Ying ignored me.

I lost her heart. It was said everywhere in the

capital that the princess of Chaoyang was going to marry the prince of King Jing. In those days, I didn’t want to eat and drink.

Jiang Ying was drunk, and I watched her talk like a kitten, which was so lovely that people were distressed. There is a way to get both sides

in the world. I didn’t say anything to Jiang Ying after all.

I say more, will only make Jiang Ying more disgusted with me, but I wanted to kiss her forehead at that time, tell her I want to understand, I will not be an official.

I did not hold back, before the Imperial Study, I pulled Jiang Ying. Separated

from Jiang Ying for half a year, I understand that Jiang Ying has long lived in my heart, but I do not know.

Jiang Ying eyes irritability, I see a clear. I am startled, originally in the past, I am such to Jiang Ying. He Shaoming pulled me away, I looked at He Shaoming, a heroic spirit, this kind of talent can protect Jiang Ying, I can not protect her.

Jiang Ying and He Shaoming still got married. I watched from a distance. Jiang Ying was wearing a phoenix crown, decorated with pearls, and made up with emeralds. She was like a fairy concubine in the Nine Heavens. In a trance,

I knew that on the day I married Jiang Ying, I had not even looked at her married appearance. The way of

a gentleman is that it is a great mistake to cut off what others love. Besides, Jiang Ying has put me down, what face do I have to see her again?

I did not bother Jiang Ying and He Shaoming again, but wrote a letter for Jiang Ying and sent it to the Princess Mansion.

I read Jiang Ying’s words for the first time.

Feast peach, I wish you a good life.
