Emotional Stone Cherry Blossom
Beauty Passes Away: I still remember that the emperor of
Qi Dynasty died on the first day when I married him, and then Prince Ling Yi ascended the throne.
At night, someone takes off my shoes and socks and touches me with infatuation. Who else can it be if it is not Ling Yi? When I
opened my eyes, I looked at my pupils, which I was pondering, and scolded in amazement, “Beast, I am your father’s concubine!”
He held the soles of my feet tighter.
“The princess, who is embedded in the moon, has come to marry. What is the difference between a father and a son?”.
Ling Yi used to be a proton. It was June when he arrived in my mother country, the pagoda. The cherry blossoms in the pagoda were very luxuriant.
I love this flower so much that my mother and concubine accompany me to go out to watch it every day. It was at this time that
Ling Yi burst into the sea of flowers. The accompanying palace people saluted us and quietly pulled Ling Yi’s sleeve, but I saw his face full of anger and had no intention of saluting at all.
The mother imperial concubine is always amiable, waved a hand to let the palace person get up, that palace person just opens a mouth.
“Empress, this is the second prince of the Qi Dynasty. He just arrived today, and the slave is going to take him to rest.”
The mother princess nodded gently and walked away. I looked at the tall figure and asked the mother princess.
“Why did the two princes of the Qi Dynasty come here?”
My mother gently touched the top of my hair.
“If he does not come, we will go.”
That year, I was only eight years old, and I didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence at all. It was not until Ling Yi returned home and gradually seized power that he spared no effort to attack the tower. The once small country became a tiger and swallowed up my mother country one by one. My father had no choice but to use the marriage in exchange for life.
The Qi Dynasty sent an emissary to designate the person, and designated the most honorable little princess in the country of Tanei, the princess embedded in the moon.
Appointed me.
Marry the sick old emperor of the Qi Dynasty. When I was
fourteen that year, I saw through my father’s helplessness and understood that it was all your revenge.
He hates me.
Ling Yi is a proton and is not treated well in the tower. At that time,
I always liked to go to see him, but I felt that he was very different from my brothers.
White face, slender figure, love to wear white robes, and, he seems to be a mute.
Ling Yi never spoke, no matter how others teased him, or beat and scolded him, he did not say a word.
My imperial brothers and I are not the same mother, and Taneiguo’s upbringing of princes has been full of violence and blood since childhood, so that this prince from the Qi Dynasty has become their common target of bullying in an instant.
Beating and scolding the slaves could not satisfy the pleasure of the emperor’s brothers, so they came to the residence of the emperor every three or five times to provoke him.
And Ling Yi, at first, was able to fight with them until they were together.
Later, news came from the State of Qi that his mother had hanged herself.
This news is the emperor brothers, deliberately said to prick the heart of the nebula, and the nebula, smashed the teacup on the table, took the fragments to prick my fifth brother. The
matter is very big, make nebula was punished to beat ten big buttock stick, father emperor dare not beat a person to death after all, will leave him half life.
At that time, Taneiguo stepped into the cold winter, and there was a world of ice and snow everywhere. I stayed in the arms of my mother and concubine, squinting and dozing. It was very pleasant. Remembering this, I asked my mother and concubine.
“Ah Niang, what would happen if someone lost his mother?”
My mother did not answer until I was about to fall asleep when I heard her soft voice.
“Then this child will be a poor child from now on.” Before I
fell asleep, I thought, Ling Yi, he is really a poor child.
I went to see Ling Yi again, but I didn’t dare to go into his room. I only pretended to throw maracas with the maid of honor and slowly approached his room. The
maid threw the maracas steadily and accurately, flying straight into his window, flying into the window, and then disappearing.
The maid wanted to make amends and pick it up for me, but I didn’t let her.
I just went in to get a maraca, that’s all.
Although the door was wide open, there was no candle, no light, no sound. I was
scared, and I was backing out and leaving.
A hand clung to the back of my neck and quickly dragged me into the room. I didn’t even have time to exclaim before he strangled my breath. In a whirl
, I fell on his bed, and the shadow fell on me, and his hand covered my lips but not my eyes.
I finally saw Ling Yi’s face.
The comely, white face, with a look of hatred and some fear.
“Who are you?”
Ling Yi frowned and asked me, and I immediately realized that he might have taken me as the emperor’s brother, thinking that he was coming to humiliate him again, so I caught him first regardless.
I motioned him to let go.
“I am the crescent moon.” I didn’t put down my
vigilance, and I don’t know where I got the courage to reach out and touch his face.
Naturally, he quickly dodged.
He was like a wounded deer, and he dared not let anyone approach him easily.
I smiled at him and whispered, “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”
“I just wanted to come in and pick up a maraca.”
“My maracas have fallen in.”
Ling Yi got up from me and looked around. Sure enough, he found the round thing in the corner. He went over, picked it up, and handed it to me.
I took the ball and looked back at him.
Do you want to play with us? It’s fun.
At that time, Ling Yi was obviously childish, but the strong sadness in his eyes had quickly separated him from his childhood. I looked at Ling Yi, and he looked at the ball, only laughed at himself, and then shook his head.
He said, “Don’t ever come here again.”
He seems to see through my thoughts.
Ling Yi is not a mute. His voice is very nice.
The tone is cold and deep, which is the voice that the men in the tower can’t imitate. The ladies around
me were all lovely people, especially the apricot, who saw that I paid a lot of attention to Ling Yi, so the fifth brother went to find fault with Ling Yi when he was recovering from a serious injury, and she immediately told me the news.
At that time, my mother had just peeled an orange for me. I had no time to eat it. I just held it in the palm of my hand and hurried away. My mother asked me in the back, and I answered her in the distance.
“My son, go and help the poor man.” When
I arrived, the palace man beside the fifth elder brother was raising his long stick to hit Ling Yi, and Ling Yi was lying on the ground, apparently suffering many times. I didn’t have time to think about it, so I rushed to Ling Yi before the stick fell, and took the stick for him.
Perhaps it was my wailing like killing a pig that startled me, and he looked back at me in disbelief, his eyes full of shock.
I don’t know what my dizzy behavior is, but I just smiled at him.
He stretched out the orange flesh that had been squeezed out of juice by me.
“Well, my mother and concubine peeled it for me and gave you half.”
Ling Yi, you eat, this winter’s orange, can be sweet. The eyes that
had always been hostile suddenly softened, and the two of us looked at each other as if no one else existed. I saw Ling Yi take the orange meat from my hand and stuff it into his mouth, and the juice flowed down his lips.
I asked him, “Is it sweet?”
Make nebula nod his head.
Later, in the palace of the State of Qi, Ling Yi fed me oranges. He ate them into his mouth and then pressed them against my lips and teeth. I felt the juice with the fragrance of oranges slowly flowing into my lips. Some of them overflowed carelessly and were kissed back by Ling Yi.
He also asked me, “Is it sweet?”
At that time, the country of Tane was destroyed, and I lost all protection. In the second year
of Lingyi’s stay in the pagoda, Apricot married a man and married the eunuch in charge of internal affairs in the palace. This was not allowed, but for the sake of serving me for many years, my mother and concubine asked for a decree for them.
Not as happy as I imagined, I was caught off guard, and my maid apricot became the wife of the eunuch.
I secretly asked apricot what it was like to get married. At that time
, apricot was married for the first time, and her face was always smiling for fear that others would not see her.
“Slaves don’t understand poetry or music, but they know that if they can marry someone who pleases each other, it will be the happiest thing in the world.”
I shook my head. “Do you like him, too?”
The apricot looked back and smiled. “If I don’t like it, I won’t marry.” I was nine years old
that year, but I suddenly understood what a woman’s integrity was. At this time, I did not know that the arrogance of an ordinary woman, falling on the princess, was self-willed to the extreme.
I am a princess, the only princess in the country of Tane. If my country needs something, I must sacrifice all of myself.
Women’s integrity and the princess’s mission are always contrary.
But I asked her, what is Xinyue?
The apricot frowned and thought bitterly, “Everyone else thinks the eunuch is a dirty thing without roots, and so does the slave, but the slave doesn’t think he is, and the slave only feels sorry for him.” Brother
Wu’s resentment against Ling Yi became more and more serious. When I came back, I scolded Ling Yi. He also said that Ling Yi was a dirty thing, a wolf cub from the Qi Dynasty.
I said but five elder brothers, I blame myself for not being able to defend the nebula, and at this time, I feel that the nebula is pitiful.
This is not his country, but he will be humiliated here because of his country.
I love Tane because this is my mother country, I have a father and a mother, and I enjoy everything here.
But Lingyi doesn’t love it. I know. He hates it.
No matter how I ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to withhold anything from Ling Yi, or even if I gave him half of my own, or even if I told everyone so bluntly, I ordered not to bully Ling Yi again with the posture of a princess.
It’s no use. The stone cherry blossoms in
the pagoda represent many meanings. The flower language of
children to their loved ones is: never be eroded by the disease, representing the meaning of wishing their loved ones healthy and safe.
But the woman to the man’s flower language is: The sentiment moves. In
the pagoda, there is a folk couple who is in love with stone cherry blossoms.
Five elder brother Su likes to go out of the palace to play, always like to bring me some gadgets, once brought two pieces of stone cherry blossom jade pendant, is a pair, all give me to play.
Later, when I asked the apricot to share something with me, I specifically told the apricot to send one of the jade pendants. Of course, the apricot knew the moral and laughed at me.
“Is the princess in love with that proton?”
I covered the quilt and blushed, scolding her in a deep voice. “You dead girl, the princess wants him to be healthy and safe.”
“Oh, the princess wants him to be healthy and safe.” The apricot was still laughing, and my heart was beating so fast that I stopped opening my mouth.
I thought he would be happy to receive my gift. I also thought he had a good life under my protection. I naively hoped that he would have a good impression of the tower.
Even I think so. I’m good to him. I just don’t want anyone to hate Tane.
I asked him, “Do you prefer Qi Chao or Ta Nei?”
Just like when I was a child, my father and mother always teased me who I liked more. It was just a harmless joke.
But his face darkened in an instant, and I saw my reflection clearly in his eyes.
But in any case, I can’t see him clearly.
He said, “I hate the Qi Dynasty, I hate it very much.”
I laughed to hear the answer I was satisfied with.
But then, he was extremely cruel and interrupted my laughter. Are you satisfied with what
Ling Yi said? Little princess? Although
I was young, I could understand the meaning behind this sentence. I was afraid to speak, but I still insisted on looking for a final answer from his mouth.
“What about inside the tower?”
He chuckled, in contrast to when I invited him to play maracas last year, when he laughed at himself, but this time, he seemed to be laughing at me.
He said, “What kind of prisoner loves prison?”
I haven’t seen him for a long time, but I haven’t sent him any less. I don’t know what to do to him except these things. At the New Year’s Eve banquet of the
second year, I saw Ling Yi in the distance across the sea of people.
He was still wearing the clothes of the Qi Dynasty that he had brought when he came, a silver-gray robe and a black fox fur cloak. Although his clothes were old, his face, which broke away from childishness day after day, complemented each other with the clothes full of bearing, and compared them with my brothers who wore gold and silver.
But when he saluted my father in the center of the hall, I clearly saw the stone cherry blossom jade pendant hanging on his waist, shaking with his body. Naturally, I was not the only one who
saw it, but also its original owner, my fifth brother.
The jade pendant caused trouble after all.
My fifth brother, as if he had grabbed his pigtail, stood up and asked loudly.
“May I ask Your Highness, why is the jade pendant inlaid with the moon given by this temple here?”
Everyone looked at Ling Yi, but Ling Yi was silent and only looked at me in the distance.
At this glance, I really don’t know what to do.
“This jade pendant was originally a pair, but it was all given to me in this temple to be inlaid with the moon. It was made of jade from the East China Sea. It is extremely precious, and there is no other pair in the world.” When
the inlaid moon is young, how can it be so easy to give away what this temple has given to others? If it wasn’t a gift, could it be that Your Highness has brought the means of the cats and dogs of the Qi Dynasty to the tower? I understand the meaning of
this. In the past, the Qi Dynasty fought with the pagoda, and the means were inferior. They loved to steal the barracks in the pagoda. The marching style made the people in the pagoda despise it. Therefore, the people in the pagoda described the Qi Dynasty, and always said that they were cats and dogs.
“Embedded in the Moon?” My father turned his eyes and called me in a rough voice. I saw his eyes narrowed, knowing that my father certainly didn’t want me to kick their table at the moment.
He also did not want, his most precious princess, really this jade pendant with special flower language, easily promised people, but also promised a humble proton.
“The kingdom of the pagoda has never wronged anyone. It is inlaid with the moon. Did you give this jade pendant to His Highness Qi Chao?” I
knew I could no longer escape. I stood up slowly. I looked at Ling Yi, and Ling Yi looked at me. His silent face seemed to accept whatever I answered him.
I want to say, yes, I gave it to him.
But looking at the majestic face of my father and thinking of the words in the tower, I could not reveal the word on my lips.
Instead, on the neck, extremely stiff, slowly shaking his head.
I see it.
What I thought was impossible was a crack that suddenly chapped my face.
He smiled again and stopped looking at me. I knew that I had completely hurt Ling Yi, the kind of injury that could not be remedied.
He untied the jade pendant in front of all the people and threw it gently to the ground. The jade pendant broke in half in an instant. I
thought I hadn’t seen him for so long, and I wouldn’t feel fresh to him any more. But now, the jade pendant was broken on the ground, and my heart was like that. The place where it was broken gurgled into the wind, and the grievance and bitterness spread everywhere. The tears in his
eyes made me unable to see him any more, but I heard his voice, and he was defending himself.
“If I had known that the East Sea Jade was indestructible, it was just a small thing that we got by chance in our temple, and it could have a relationship with the Princess Inlaid with the Moon. Your Highness, you’d better take a closer look to see if it’s true. Don’t let the Princess lose her reputation because of our temple.”
My fifth brother couldn’t believe it at this time. He went up and picked up the jade pendant. It was similar in shape and color, but it was not the one he gave me.
Instead, he deceived all the people in the hall.
So, Ling Yi did it on purpose? This is just to see my reaction?
But sure enough, I disappointed him. At the end of the
banquet, I was surrounded by palace people and left, but I always felt that there was a look that always followed my back.
Like the feeling in the dark, I look back, across the sea of people to the line of sight, that silent, fragmented line of sight.
Many years later, I finally understand that the look in your eyes at this time is a small animal trapped in the swamp expecting to be saved. The person appears, but leaves again. It is the disappointment after hope, the winter after warmth, and the darkness after light.
I always felt that I was the chivalrous woman who saved him from fire and water, but I was in trouble just to admit a piece of jade pendant. Perhaps, in the palace of the pagoda, the most abominable person was not the palace people and the emperor’s brother who bullied him every day, but me.

“Is the princess worried because of the proton?”
Apricot is the person who knows everything. At that time, she was undressing and washing for me. She saw my upset mood and hit the nail on the head.
I looked at her with a slow tear in my eye. “I shouldn’t have provoked him.”
I don’t know why I use the word “provoke”, just because my past with Ling Yi was all my wishful thinking, and I irresponsibly dragged him into the two of us.
The apricot gently brushed away my tears and said, “Princess, there’s nothing wrong with it. God lets two people know each other. There must be a reason for him.”
“Princess, don’t try to resist. If you still want to see someone, go with your heart.”
I cried even more bitterly, and my snot and tears were all on my face.
Sobbing and choking.
Ling Yi, I.. I still want to see him, and I still want to see Ling Yi.
When the nebula came, the palace guard did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly invited him in. Although
I had rested, I hurried up to make up. Standing in the middle of the hall with his
back to him, it was still the black fox hair cloak.
I frowned slightly and shouted, “a blind dog slave, how can you let your Highness stand like this?” The slave waiting beside him knelt down hurriedly.
Ling Yi turned around and waved his hand. “Don’t punish the princess.” Sharp-eyed,
I saw another jade pendant hanging from his waist, which was the one I had given him. A touch of warmth in my heart was surging up, but I saw him bow his head and untie the jade pendant.
Xie Yupei’s time was long enough for me to see the two hands clearly. The raw finger bones were as white and slender as cold jade. Until he came to me, I was still staring at his hands in a trance.
The slender fingertips held the stone cherry blossom jade pendant and handed it back to me.
At first, I put the jade pendant into the sundries that were sent with it. Later, I asked him if he liked Taneiguo. Until then, I never felt that he had really accepted the jade pendant. I only felt that maybe it was still in the pile of sundries and had never been found.
But until the New Year’s Eve banquet, until now, it was really taken out, it was returned, I know, Ling Yi saw, he accepted this jade pendant, I dare not do, let him do not want to accept, let him want to return to me.
My tears welled up again, and I took it in a fit of pique and ferociously, and threw it on the ground again. The jade pendant was made of Donghai jade, and it only rolled around a few times, and then it lay intact on the ground motionless.
I saw Ling Yi sighing lightly, and his eyes returned to the estranged and estranged look I had when I first saw him.
Make the nebula turn away.
I tried to grab his sleeve in a panic, but his hand was already hidden in the cloak. The surface of the fox wool material was slippery and cold, and I couldn’t catch anything. I didn’t even notice that I had tried to keep him behind him. He didn’t see it. The slaves on the ground lowered their heads and didn’t see it. Only I knew it.
I stretched out my hand and saw that there were still a few strands of fox hair that had just been pulled down in my palm, and finally I broke down in tears.
The fox hair flies away, the stone cherry blossom jade pendant is put into the deepest box, and I will not go to see your shadow again.
The fifth elder brother was rarely absent from my tenth birthday banquet. My mother told me that the fifth elder brother sneaked into the carriage of the diplomatic envoy and followed him to the Great Yan Kingdom. I knew that the fifth elder brother always acted perversely and liked to visit the mountains and rivers everywhere, but I didn’t know that he was so bold. The envoy’s trip was for state affairs, with the aim of promoting diplomatic relations between the two countries. It didn’t matter if he went with him, but he made his father very angry. In June of
the same year, the fifth elder brother returned home. When he came back, he was given ten lashes by his father. Before I could stop him, the fifth elder brother came to me with his body after the torture.
He was badly beaten, his back was mottled with blood, his eyes were congested with blood, and his words were gnashed.
“How dare those dog thieves of Dayan!”
“Dare what?”
“Dare to covet..” When the words came to his lips, Brother Wu stopped, and I saw his eyes suddenly soften. “It’s all right, the moon. Brother Wu won’t let this happen even if he fights for his life.”
My brothers, in fact, are very good to me, perhaps because I am particularly favored by my father, so they have to be good to me, even if it is acting, and some people, acting into reality, such as my fifth brother. He’s actually kind of cute when he’s
not annoying. After all,
I knew what the fifth brother had not said.
The Great Swallow intended to marry our country and attempted to marry the most noble princess in the pagoda.
If it is ten years ago, the big swallow must not dare, but now their national strength is not what it used to be, the border of the tower was repeatedly attacked and provoked by the big swallow, after the tower took the initiative to send troops to fight, tens of thousands of soldiers are numerous bones buried outside.
From ancient times to the present, marriage is the best way to solve unnecessary wars. Of course
I don’t want to.
I was only ten years old.
My father and mother are naturally unwilling, but what can be more important than peace and stability? The Great Swallow is no better than Qi Dynasty. With the passage of time, they have gradually become more talented and prosperous, and our defeat at the border has deeply revealed the message of the law of the jungle. Inside
the pagoda, Qi Chao was eyeing the tiger covetously, and in front of him, there was a big swallow acting as a jackal to the tiger. Although the pagoda was strong enough, what it faced was not a mole ant that could be trampled to death, but two leopards that could take a piece of flesh at any time.
If only the harmless method of marriage can ease the tense atmosphere, why should we fight to the death? My father is my father, but he is still the king of the world.
He is a statesman, an emperor, a leader who leads all people to live happily. In June of the third year after the
order came to the pagoda, the pagoda signed a peace agreement with the Great Yan, ordering the pagoda to be inlaid with Princess Moon and the Queen of the ceremony, and to marry the Great Yan Emperor. The
matter was finally settled, and the three-year proton career ended with the peace agreement. It’s time for
him to return home. After three years, he has grown from a young man three years ago to a young man, who can make people feel shy and timid at a glance.
That’s good. He’s going back.
Qi Chao those ladies, how many people will admire him? Will it be like me?
I finally took out the box containing the stone cherry blossom jade pendant, but I didn’t have the courage to open it after all.
Ling Yi, I’m sorry that I denied my affection for you that day. But now, I don’t owe you anything. You go, go far away, go home, Ling Yi.
I made a deal with my father.
Growing up in the royal family, I can do many things, just like I have long known that my father will not let him return home safely, how can he let Qi Chao this little wolf cub go back safely? The most capricious moment in
my life is now. I was forced to die for Dayan’s engagement, but in order to let Linyi go back safely, I nodded and bet on my marriage for the rest of my life.
In fact, I did not think so much, I know, if I do not do this deal, I will marry.
Then why not, in order to make up for my debt to Ling Yi? At first,
my father was just shocked. It was quiet in the Chenggan Palace. He should have been recalling the question he asked me at the New Year’s Eve banquet one year. At that time, I was forced by his dignity and shook my head hurriedly. He probably never thought that his little princess would nod and marry because of the nebula.
I knelt on the ground, my heart firm, my voice clangorous, “Father, let Ling Yi go, let him go back.”
“After that, the crescent moon will be ready to marry, and peace will be kept between the pagoda and the Great Swallow forever.”
“Ling Yi, he is the most pitiful child I have ever seen. He owes nothing to the tower, but he has been humiliated in the palace for three years. Father, even I have abandoned him. Father, you should feel all the guilt of the moon. Father..”
“Father, inlaid on the moon, please..”
I kowtowed again and again, and I felt dizzy and tearful, but my father was silent, and I knew I couldn’t stop.
“Enough.” The old but harsh voice of the
father finally came.
“Go, let him go.” Blood on
my forehead poured into my eyes, mixed with tears, and I looked dimly at my father’s old figure, suddenly feeling that no matter what I did, I was a sinner.
Or, is the sinner of the nebula.
Or, the sinner of the country.
Apricot a face of regret for me to put on the wound medicine, I will say with my father told her, apricot just sigh.
“Princess, do you remember that you are also a child?”
I was stunned and suddenly remembered what I had said to my father, Ling Yi was the most pitiful child I had ever seen. When did it
start?
Perhaps it was the first time we met, under the stone cherry blossom, although his face was stubborn and refused to salute, I saw the fear hidden in his eyes under his stubborn foundation. It happened when I was about
five or six years old. At that time, I went out with the palace people on my back, but I got lost and went into a forest. I couldn’t find a way out. It was quiet everywhere. I cried loudly. At that time, I was the same. I panicked and was full of fear.
I’m scared. I think he’s scared, too.
That year I did not appear chivalrous to protect each other, but with a cavity of solitary courage out of the woods, but now, I want to become a chivalrous man to save him from fire and water.
Maybe after a long time, I will repent and hate because of this decision, but now, I can’t close my eyes, and I can’t forget those frightened eyes from my heart, so let me go home. On the most luxuriant day when the
stone cherry blossoms were in full bloom, the shadow was gone.
His departure did not stir up any waves in the palace, including me. On that day, I got up as usual, washed, went to class, ate, and then bathed and rested. There was no sound in
the huge palace, only on the bedside, the shoulders that shrugged again and again told the night how sad and sad the people on the bed were. Two years later
, Dayan tore up the peace agreement with her own hands and sent troops to the border. Only then did
everyone realize that the peace agreement was just a smokescreen. In the past two years, the Great Yan Emperor cleaned up the country’s two-minded chaotic party, and finally freed up his hands to show his former ambition, peace? Big Yan wants to annex other countries to achieve unification. The emperor
of Dayan is a madman.
In the Qi Dynasty, the third son seized the throne, and the various forces refused to give way to each other. He had become the one with the best chance of winning. Only then did I know that the man I let go was ambitious.
On the one hand, I am happy for it, so happy that no one can finally bully and humiliate it.
On the other hand, I am worried about it. I am afraid that if he ascends the throne in the future, he will become an enemy of the tower. Day after day,
in the midst of mixed feelings, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty made Yi the crown prince and immediately ascended the throne. On the same day, King Rong of the Qi Dynasty rebelled and was killed by Yi. These things were not what I, a woman in the palace, should know, but the eunuch that apricot married more or less revealed to apricot, and they were all passed on to me.
No matter how much the pagoda is now threatened and oppressed by foreign enemies, the war of the former Dynasty can not blow to the harem after all, I am still leisurely and carefree to be my princess embedded in the moon, until.
Until the rear of the tower, that is, the qi Dynasty, finally because of the nebula ascended the throne, back to life.
In the year of the ceremony, the pagoda was attacked from both sides. My brothers all entered the battlefield and fought to the death. In the pagoda, there was a tendency to collapse.
My father never said to the outside world that I would make him return home, so he suffered silently for me when the former imperial censors impeached him. I don’t know what to say, and I don’t know whether I should regret it or not. I thought to myself and others that if it wasn’t for him, if someone else became the new king of Qi Dynasty, maybe they would do the same.
But I also know that it won’t, at least it won’t be as good as Ling Yi and attack so quickly. The wolf cub
I let out finally turned around and bit me. Seeing that we were attacked from both sides,
the Great Swallow became even more crazy. They even increased their troops, intending to join hands with the Qi Dynasty to carve up our tower. The people in the tower were in a constant state of anxiety, and I was gambling. I was gambling whether Ling Yi would join hands with the Great Swallow.
Time passed day after day, and the book arrived.
This time, not the big swallow, but the Qi Dynasty.
This time, no one asked me whether I was willing or not. My father quickly drew up an agreement, and he also sent troops to make a detour to attack Dayan as stated in the agreement, which solved the urgent need in the tower.
Qi Chao and Dayan have a special geographical location. Now most of Dayan’s forces are on the border of our country, and Qi Chao’s troops are just the weakest place for Dayan’s forces. If they continue to attack forward, or join hands with the tower..
Big swallow dare not bet. After
they captured the two cities in the tower, they withdrew their troops and returned to the court. At the same time, they also held a grudge against the Qi Dynasty.
I held up the imperial edict of peace and marriage and read it carefully word by word.
「…… The princess inlaid in the moon, with a pure heart, gentle, upright, respectful, virtuous, and benevolent, was given the title of “peace” and went to Qi Heqin to honor the imperial concubine, and there was no war with the Qi Dynasty for ten years in the pagoda. Imperial Concu
bine Taishang.
I murmured these words, now the qi Dynasty, heard that the emperor is terminally ill, is dying, I know this is the nebula deliberately, but there is no way.
Marry who is not married?
If I can keep the tower with my body, I am naturally willing.
Three years ago, in order to make up for that feeling of guilt, I promised to kiss Dayan. At that time, I would never owe you any more.
Three years later, in order not to be attacked from both sides in the tower, I promised to marry Qi Chao, so far, I have completed my mission as a princess.
Half a month later, the wedding procession set out from the tower and headed in the direction of Qi. I knew that I could never go back to the tower. There would be no more stone cherry blossoms.
17 When I
arrived at the palace of the Qi Dynasty, it seemed that the identity of the princess and I could not make them treat me with courtesy. I could not remember how many palace maids had been replaced all over my body, and how many curved porches had led me around. I only remembered that when I stepped through a corner door in pink clothes, a little girl in the front garden leaned on the arms of a beautiful woman, pointed at me and asked the palace people.
“Who is she?” The
palace attendants saluted one by one, saying, “Princess Chang, this is the princess who has come from the pagoda to make peace. She will soon be the imperial concubine, and she has not yet been given a title.”
The pretty woman waved us away.
Behind her, the little girl’s voice was crisp, as if she didn’t understand what the palace people were saying. She only caught the first few words and pestered the beautiful woman to ask, “The princess in the tower?”? Why did you come here?
“Silly child, if she doesn’t come, she will be our princess.” The soles of
my feet froze there as if they had taken root.
Many years ago, I was as ignorant of the world as that little girl, and I had to ask everything clearly and thoroughly, and my mother and concubine had said that to me.
Now, everything has come true after all.
Ling Yi, I’m coming.
You have walked in the tower, now, I am in the Qi Dynasty, also take a walk. The palace of the
Qi Dynasty seemed to have forgotten that there was still such a person as me. There was no imperial edict to serve me, and no ceremonial eunuch to tell me what to do. The only palace people
around me were apricot and the eunuch she married. Only then did I know that the eunuch’s name was Wen Cheng, and he was really as gentle as jade. No wonder apricot could take a fancy to him.
Apricot doesn’t want me to come. If she comes, can Wen Cheng not come? In the final analysis, I hurt them, but they are willing to come, but I did not stop, because I am afraid, if there are two familiar faces around, the heart is more comfortable.
I could not see the overlord, that is, the husband I married, trapped in my Chaochun Palace all day, looking at the sky outside, I thought my life would be destroyed in this palace.
But the nebula came. In the middle of the night, he did not light the lamp. He just sat by the bed and looked at me.
I was a dreamless person, but because of the strange breath, I finally woke up, but I saw the tall shadow beside the bed, when I was frightened to make a sound, I made the shadow cover my mouth and nose, leaving only my big open eyes.
I remember the first time I went to his house that year, he locked me on the bed, and I looked at him.
After many years, we have grown up.
Grow up, so each other are a little difficult to speak.
“The princess inlaid with the moon sleeps well, but I don’t know how my father sleeps.”
Ling Yi finally spoke. The
tone was contemptuous and playful.
I could not help feeling a little heartache and felt that I could not see him clearly. I stretched out my hand to light the lamp, but I was caught by his wrist.
“At that time I never lit a lamp.”
“Because of the burning of the lamp, your brothers will be able to find me easily.”
My heartache is getting worse.
“I’m sorry for the royal brothers.” Instead of
letting go of me, he grabbed my shoulder and forced me to look up at him. He was so close to me, but I felt so far away.
“Many times I wanted to kill them, but I knew I couldn’t do it. I had to come back alive.” After
gradually getting used to the darkness, I saw Ling Yi’s face again, which was much thinner. Through his eyes, I seemed to see the swords and cruel killing behind the struggle for the throne,
which meant that Ling Yi was no longer the Ling Yi I knew at the beginning. “You must
thank your father for sending me back with all my whiskers and all my tails.”
“Princess Inlaid in the Moon, how does it feel to marry an old man?” I was eager to see an expression of grievance, fear and hatred on my face, but I didn’t.
I have only pity and prayer for him from beginning to end.
But I don’t know where to provoke him, he waved the bedside candlestick and shouted at me.
“Stop looking at me like that!” Why do
you pity me? Now. It’s time for me to pity you!
He sealed my lips, and the tip of the snake got into my mouth like a small snake. I was frightened, but I couldn’t push him.
I never knew that two people could be so close to each other, so firmly stuck together, and the feeling of being invaded was so strange that I was afraid.
I frantically pushed Ling Yi, but I couldn’t move him. He was like a mountain pressing on my chest. It’s
so heavy that I can’t breathe.
This is a very strange feeling, sweeping, spreading to the dawn. Later,
I realized what Ling Yi had done to me, and I thought I should cry, as a metamorphosis from a girl to a woman.
Apricot found traces on my body when she helped me bathe next day. She was shocked for a long time until I said the name of the man.
She took my hand and asked me, “Princess, are you happy?”
There was a touch of red clouds creeping up her cheek, and I replied, “Better than someone else.”
The next day, the Qi court summoned me and ordered me to serve the overlord tonight. I didn’t know what the order meant. A palace man bathed me and then took me into the overlord’s bedroom. There was no one
in the palace. I followed the sound of coughing. Then I saw the overlord on the bed. He was obviously very ill. He didn’t even have the strength to lift his eyes.
I hesitated to go, but the door opened again behind me.
It was Ling Yi who came in.
He leaned close to me and sniffed the scent around his neck. “It smells good.”
And a meter away, my nominal husband, and his father, was lying there motionless.
Confused, I pushed him away and said in a trembling voice, “Ling Yi, don’t do this.” But
he was not unhappy at all, as if it was just a game to play tricks on me.
“Doesn’t the princess want to protect her father like a jade?”
“Did the princess forget what happened last night?” Ashamed and anxious,
I waved my sleeve and fanned him, but still did not stop him. I grabbed my hand and sat me on him, facing his father, smiling.
“Rise up, father, and see the new concubines I have brought for you.”
I felt his hatred.
At this moment, he took me as a knife to stab his father. My heart ached badly, but I couldn’t do anything. I let him peel the orange on the table and feed it into my mouth. The overflowing juice was kissed away by him.
Ling Yi, don’t do this.
He asked me, is it sweet?
The Great Swallow never gave up her long-cherished wish to unify the whole country. The flames of war finally spread to the Qi Dynasty. I may not have seen Ling Yi for a long time. I didn’t see him, but I saw the fifth elder brother. The fifth elder brother always came and went without a trace. This time, he flew into the Qi Dynasty’s harem and found me.
I was overjoyed to see him, and my yearning for him for a long time was finally released, and I held him in my arms and cried with joy.
But the fifth brother didn’t come for anything else. He came to take me away.
He said that his father had decided to join hands with Dayan to attack the Qi Dynasty, and it was dangerous for me to stay here. The
dramatic turn of events made me nervous, but the first thing I thought was, if there was a war, would you die? The
fifth elder brother set the date on the ninth day of the first lunar month, which was my seventeenth birthday.
He will bring people to meet, only to take me out, but I think of apricot and Wen Cheng, please five elder brother will also take them away.
At night, Ling Yi came to my bedroom, but at this time I was quite depressed because of something in my heart. Ling Yi seemed to see something but did not say anything. He did not rush at me as usual, but became gentle.
I was amazed at his transformation, and I was a little puzzled, but I just thought he was playing a different way.
Dazed, I listened to him in my ear, saying no longer those sharp words, but.
“Shall I make you queen?”
Like a stone thrown into Qingshui Lake, the ripples were hard to calm down, and I almost burst into tears immediately. How could
I not know?
Ling Yi has been on the throne for many years, but there are no concubines in the harem. He will protect me well in this man-eating harem.
When it comes to bullying, only he can bully me.
“Let you be the queen, and you will accompany me for the rest of my life.”
He bent over me, his eyes met, and the fire burst.
“If you shake your head again, your head will be cut off.”
I can’t find my fifth brother. I want to tell him that I don’t want to go.
I want to stay with Ling Yi.
Birthday banquet that day, five elder brother came, apricot and Wen Cheng has been picked up, five elder brother covered with black face towel, can not help but pull me away, I shook off his hand, just tears, five elder brother can not believe, asked me.
“Are you in love with him?”
I silently acquiesced. For a long time, Brother Wu nodded. I thought he respected my choice, but with a blow to the head, I fainted in his arms. Before I
fell asleep, I heard his voice saying, “Moon, I’m sorry. Brother Wu must take you away.”
The carriage was bumpy. When I woke up, I was already on the carriage out of the city. Wen Cheng sat on one side of the apricot. The apricot helped me up worriedly, but Wen Cheng did not say a word, as if meditating. Before
I could speak, a bow and arrow hit the doorframe with great force.
The carriage was still, and I realized something was wrong. I lifted the curtain and looked out.
Ling Yi stood on the gate tower and looked down at me.
The fifth elder brother had pulled out his knife and flew out. I saw that he had made a bow and archery gesture to the fifth elder brother. In a hurry, I rushed up to block the fifth elder brother’s figure.
I looked at Ling Yi. Sure enough, he put down his hand holding the bow and arrow, but there was no more warmth in his eyes. His eyes looked like they could freeze me. “I’ve been gambling that you won’t leave, but I still lost.” The
tone is full of loneliness, but I can’t control it.
So, this is a game? But where does Ling Yi know?
A knife from behind was placed on my fifth brother’s neck. I looked back and couldn’t believe it was Wen Cheng.
Apricot can’t believe such a change.
I dare not think, I dare not think when did Wen Cheng begin to be loyal to Ling Yi, in the Qi Dynasty, or in the tower?
Ling Yi knew the plan of the fifth brother to take me away like the palm of his hand, just because I never hid from apricot and Wen Cheng, that is to say, I hurt the fifth brother, and Ling Yi really killed the fifth brother. My
face was white, and I was about to kneel down and plead for mercy. But
the apricot rushed up and knocked Wen Cheng’s knife open with his body, and everything was so coincidental that the knife was so coincidentally stabbed into the apricot’s chest. With a
bang, something seemed to explode in my heart. Flesh and blood were flying everywhere. I couldn’t say a word in pain. My tears were like a waterfall. I couldn’t see the face of the apricot clearly.
Apricot, died under the knife of the person he loved most, in order to protect us. Why is
she so stupid.
Wen Cheng, who seemed to realize what he had done, hugged the apricot crazily and wailed in pain. I rushed to him angrily and beat him with tears.
It’s an apricot! She’s an apricot!
If, if I don’t let five elder brothers take them away, perhaps at this moment, apricot will still be in the Chaochun Palace, and if, at first, I didn’t bring apricot to Qi Dynasty because of a moment of fear, and if, at first, after apricot got married, I will release her from the palace, is it now, she will not die?
I looked up with tears in my eyes and looked at Ling Yi, who was high above me. With a livid face, he ordered people to catch me and my fifth brother.
If there is any most humiliating moment in this life, it is now.
I knelt on the ground and prayed, praying that Ling Yi could spare my fifth brother’s life. I knew that with the relationship between the two countries now, not to mention killing a prince, I kowtowed to Ling Yi again and again. Suddenly, I remembered that when I married Dayan, I also kowtowed to my father again and again.
Can make nebula unmoved, for a long time, he told me. Brother
Wu is dead. After
being captured, the general of the Qi Dynasty personally took the man away. On the way, the fifth brother rose up and was killed by the general.
I don’t believe it.
I don’t believe that the fifth brother doesn’t know the truth that there is no need to worry about firewood if he stays in the green hills, but I really saw the corpse of the fifth brother. Brother
Wu is really dead.
The so-called he rose up and was killed is just the general reported, the tower and qi Dynasty has deep enmity, and recently joined hands with the big swallow attack qi, qi Dynasty courtiers how can people put back, in public but not in private, they are used to.
And make the nebula, still do not have the ability to stare at the sky to the moment, slightly do not pay attention to, five elder brother died in the hands of Qi.
What a ridiculous reason.
At this point, I hated the original decision to return to China.
You imprisoned me in the Chaochun Palace. Day and night, you appeared on my bed without a sound, and I took whatever I wanted. When the
fifth brother wanted to take me away, I didn’t want to, but now, I really want to go back. It’s too cold in this
palace.
Wen Cheng became the chief eunuch beside Ling Yi. Apricot used to tell me that little Wen Zi had no ambition and just wanted to live a good life with her.
I looked at the face that I was so disgusted with and thought, apricot, you are wrong. He is not ambitious. His ambition is obvious.
One day the moon left me. I grabbed his sleeve and asked him.
“Ling Yi, can you kill Wen Cheng?”
But after I asked, I regretted it. Where would Ling Yi do anything for me?
Sure enough, he looked back at me sarcastically.
“Who do you think you are, Princess Inlaid with the Moon?”
I know that when he likes me, he never calls me the princess of the inlaid moon, and when he hates me, he will take the title with his name. At the age of
18, news of victory came from the border of Qi Dynasty. Before the general who had won a great victory returned, Ling Yi held a celebration banquet in a hurry.
Just in time for my birthday.
In the midst of laughter and laughter, I spent my eighteenth birthday. At
the end, the imperial dining room brought a bowl of noodles, to let you eat, meaning the meaning of good luck, and your eyes around a circle, finally fixed on my body.
“I don’t like wheaten food. Take it away.”
The bowl of noodles went round and round to my seat.
A bowl of noodles, an egg, is clearly the style of longevity noodles. At the beginning of
June, there were fragrant flowers and plants everywhere in the Imperial Garden, except for a few dead trees, which stood there abruptly.
I asked the palace people beside me, “Why are there still a few pieces of dead wood?”
My relationship with Ling Yi was no secret in the palace, and the palace man looked at it and said flatteringly,
“The princess doesn’t know. This is a tree that Your Majesty personally ordered people to bring from your motherland. It is said that it blossoms in June and is called” Stone Cherry Blossom. “It is very beautiful, but the slave has been taking good care of it. But he didn’t want it to wither. Your Majesty also came to see it, but he didn’t ask anyone to cut it down. The slave didn’t dare to move, so he stayed here.
I naturally recognize the stone cherry blossom, but do not recognize this flowering tree, obviously no different from the trees here, but simply can not adapt to the land climate of the Qi Dynasty, will never blossom.
I gently stroked the withered trees and imagined that in June, when I was still in the tower, the courtyard was full of flowers. The stone cherry blossoms in
the pagoda can’t blossom in the Qi Dynasty. The moon-embedded princess in the
tower lost her smile in the Qi Dynasty. At the end of
October, Wen Cheng came to see me. It was the first time I had met him since Apricot died.
I wish I could go up and skin him. If he hadn’t leaked the secret, how could the apricot have died, and how could the fifth brother have died.
But Wen Cheng’s next words made me palpitate.
He said, “The moon princess, inside the tower, the sky has changed.”
I don’t know what kind of mood I was in to digest Wen’s words. He told me that in the past few years when I was imprisoned, the regime in the tower was in disorder, and my brothers all had the idea of seizing the throne. They not only tried to control their own forces, but also extended their hands to other countries.
Qi Chao and Dayan were also involved.
At this time of the tower, at daggers drawn, and the big swallow and qi Dynasty, is covetous of the tower, after many years, the tower once again fell into the situation of internal and external troubles.
But my five elder brother’s death, doomed Qi Chao and the tower can not join hands to fight against the big swallow.
His father was old, and he could no longer control the princes he had raised.
Wen Cheng also said that his father had died of illness not long ago, and my mother, who was very sad because of his father’s death, soon followed him.
And this, no one has ever said to me, I know, is not allowed to tell me. Inside the pagoda
at this time, it was already my brother of the six emperors who was in charge, and it was Ling Yi who was closely related to it in private.
Six emperor brother in the palace has always been a transparent person, I am not very familiar with, now he is in charge, must be because of the order of the ship, but, the father’s body has always been strong, where will suddenly die of illness?
Wen Cheng left me a letter and told me to put it on the table. I didn’t dare to open it. It was a letter that Wen Cheng intercepted from Ling Yi. It was indeed the handwriting of Brother Liu Huang.
I finally opened it. Brother
Liu Huang honored Yi as his teacher, and the letter told me exactly how he had usurped power and how he had poisoned my father. I read the whole letter with tears in my eyes, and at the end of the letter, Brother Liu Huang wrote, “Before my father died, he called for the moon to be inlaid. If the teacher wishes, he can get rid of it. What the teacher has given you, you can’t cut the grass without uprooting it.”
I can almost imagine what kind of expression the sixth emperor brother wrote this secret letter with. Is it arrogance? Or do you get what you want? In the past, the prince who no one waited for stood on the top of ten thousand people?
It’s just, that’s the father! Before
my father died, he called my name, and I could almost see his face and hear his voice.
“Inlaid in the moon, my little girl..” I
was so angry that a mouthful of blood spurted out of my mouth. I collapsed on the wooden chair, almost out of breath.
Remembering what brother Liu Huang said in his letter, what the division commander taught, what the division commander taught?
So, the person behind the scenes is Ling Yi.
Six emperor elder brother ascended the throne of the road, behind is the nebula in the knife, my father’s mother’s blood, he also contaminated a lot of ah.
I think I must go back to the tower.
But so big Qi Chao, I can ask, unexpectedly only Wen Cheng. After the death of
the apricot, Wen Cheng seemed to be a different person. I really didn’t know how much friendship he had for the apricot, but for the first time, I still wanted to cross the Rubicon. I asked Wen Cheng to arrange for me to leave.
And he did. As
the carriage drove away from the palace gate, Wen Cheng said to me, “Princess, whether you believe it or not, slaves have feelings for apricots.”
“Once upon a time, the slave always thought that the slave only wanted to climb the highest, so that people did not dare to despise such a high climb. It was Your Majesty who gave me this opportunity, so Your Majesty is my heaven, but apricot..”
“In a word, I’m sorry for Apricot. Apricot is dead, and the slave knows that the truth is precious. The slave never indulges in pain and regret for a day, and the slave helps you, not only because of these, but also because of the last words that Apricot said to the slave before he died.”
“She says she doesn’t blame the slave. She only asks the slave to protect you.” Wen Cheng finally choked, this is the first time I saw Wen Cheng’s tears, but I feel more sad, is for the apricot and heartache.
I pulled out the gold hairpin on my head and stabbed it into Wen Cheng’s arm. I watched him bend down in pain. With tears streaming down my face, I bent down and told him.
“I will never forgive you. Save these words for you to say to the apricot in the ground.” Sleeping in the open air
all the way, I finally arrived at the last city of the Qi Dynasty. Out of the city, I drove a hundred miles to reach the border inside the tower.
I thought I could finally go home, but after all. At
the gate of the city, I stand far away from you.
Many years ago, at the palace banquet Lunar New Year’s Eve in the pagoda, I sat high above it and looked at it in the distance.
I stubbornly and firmly refused to stop and let the bow and arrow shoot in front of me, on my left, or on my head.
Out of the city, out of the city, out of the city, is the tower, I want to go home, my father and mother are waiting for me.
Why! Why do you always have to go?
At the end of his patience, he roared at me, as if years of resentment were being vented at this moment.
I vented, too, yelling at him.
“You know!” How did
the apricot die? How did my fifth brother die? How did my father and mother die?
The stone cherry blossom jade pendant made of Donghai jade was taken out by me at this time. I did not shed tears, but my eyes were empty and difficult to focus. I could not even see the face of the shadow.
I said, “Put me back.”
Jade pendant fell, but no longer because the East China Sea jade material is indestructible, it suddenly fell apart, look, in the Qi Dynasty, nothing can live, the tree will wither, jade pendant will be broken. In disbelief
, he hugged me fiercely, as if to crush me into my bones.
But when I knew the death of my parents, I had already broken my love. At this moment, I could not feel the warmth at all. I only looked at the tightly closed city gate and the direction of my hometown.
I stretched out my hand and secretly took down a gold hairpin and hid it in the palm of my hand.
“Ling Yi, if you let me go, I’ll let you go. Will you let me go back to the pagoda? My father and mother are waiting for me.”
Who? Who’s waiting for you? “
” My father, my mother.. ” And the fifth brother, and the apricot.
“But they are already dead.”
I finally shed tears.
“Yes, Ling Yi, they are waiting for me on the way to the afterlife.”
Ling Yi finally understood what I was going to do. His eyes were dark and cruel, but the corners of his eyes were flushed. The young emperor, handsome and beautiful, was infected with love because of me.
I touched his eyes, with a trace of tears, and I finally saw his frightened face again when I met him for the first time.
“Even if I die, I won’t let you go.”
Make Nebula paranoid and hoarse and growl at me.
I smiled at him, as if laughing at his overreach.
33
“OK, let’s go back, Lingyi.”
He couldn’t believe that I suddenly came to my senses. He quickly let me go and looked at me with surprise on his face.
But the next second, the gold hairpin severely cut my throat, blood gushed like a spring, and the moment I fell down, I saw the appearance of extreme fear and grief.
Ling Yi, whether you believe it or not, I am not retaliating against you.
Up to now, I only hate that year when the cherry blossoms opened, you came into my eyes, I fell in love with you, and I let you go.
I can’t accept people around me leaving one by one, and I can’t live happily around you with a good conscience, but if I live alone without you, I have no courage in any case. I saw you for the first time when I was
eight years old. For
ten years, I have witnessed you walk hard and climb to the highest place. I don’t know how much you have suffered in those years when you left, but I can feel it. Because I love you, I hate those who hurt you. Similarly, I hate myself.
I also know that I should not blame you, the emperor’s art, who can not be stained with blood, I just, I just can not be relieved. I’m
afraid they’ll blame me if I go to my grave.
Ling Yi, even in this situation, I still love you.
I looked at the direction of the city gate and opened my mouth to Ling Yi with difficulty. Ling Yi cried like a child. Tears fell on my face and rippled into flowers.
“Open..” Kaesong. The door. Ling Yi..
Open the gates! Open the gates! I roared at the city gate guard like crazy, repeating my appeal. When
the gate opened slowly, I seemed to smell the wind from the country inside the tower, and I seemed to see the snow in the country inside the tower. It never snows in
the Qi Dynasty. I haven’t seen snow for a long time.
Ling Yi, do you know that one winter, I walked with you in the snow of the palace in the tower. We didn’t hold umbrellas, so we turned white together.
But now, I’m sorry, Ling Yi, I can’t accompany you anymore. Goodbye,
Ling Yi. Goodbye,
Ling Yi.
