Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

The moonlight is clear, under the shadow-penetrating pavilion, and under the white jade fence outside the back hall of the Wansui Palace. It was originally a flower garden. Later, Xiao Huran said that she wanted to raise horses. Among the things she brought from Liao, there were indeed several good horses to take care of.

Her palace was not big enough to accommodate a horse farm, and Xiao Huran, who was raised outside the city, was worried about her precious horse.

In the end, Emperor Shi waved his hand. There are too many empty places in the apse of his Long Live Palace, so let's go there and raise them.

The palace of Emperor Shi in the Long Live Palace was larger than the palaces of all the concubines combined. At the beginning, Emperor Shi thought it was too wasteful. He could not live in such a large palace by himself.

Xiao Hunian liked to ride horses very much, and Emperor Shi often took her to Shanglin Garden and to the Yellow River to ride horses.

Although he didn't value the women who married from the Liao Kingdom at first, he didn't have any feelings, and it was all about business, but he didn't expect that there was something in Xiao Huran that really attracted him. That kind of freedom was always running through her. Although it is difficult to escape the shackles of the times, it has a unique charm.

Although he also loved Zhao Shijian, Fu Liumei, Empress Dowager Fu, Zhou Xian, Fei Shi, Xiao Huanghua, etc., Emperor Shi felt that he was a qualified husband overall.

He respects his wives and wants to create an environment for them that he likes, when he can.

Emperor Shi watched from a distance that Xiao Hu Nian was feeding her beloved horse. After a while, she explained a few words to the people in the stable, and then came over. Her lower abdomen had obviously bulged, and now she could no longer ride a horse. .

Emperor Shi also made time to accompany her, as he did when every wife was pregnant.

After a while, Shi Congyun led her to rest under an old tree, and the maids laid out the cushions that had been prepared.

"I think he's so annoying that I can't even ride a horse." Xiao Huran caressed his bulging belly in dissatisfaction. Although his movements were gentle, his words were not polite at all.

Emperor Shi smiled: "You will be more annoying when you are born, especially when you are a child." He also reached out and stroked it.

"When do you want to go to Jiangnan?" Xiao Huran asked.

"Let's go at the end of this month, and I'll take you alone next time, but there are water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, so it's not easy to run horses." Shi Congyun said: "I think it's better to go to Chengdu, there are many mountains outside Chengdu, but there is a flat river near Chengdu. , It is suitable for horse racing. To the south is Jingchu. The fish in that piece is very delicious. It is not uncommon for them to send tribute to Daliang.

When I have time, I will take you there to fish on the Dongting Lake and cook while fishing. It will be delicious.

To the south is Lingnan, where it is very hot, you can only go there in winter, otherwise you will be unaccustomed to the soil and water, the lychees there are delicious, and there are two-story-high elephants that can be ridden like horses.”

Emperor Shi talked about his country like a treasure, and Xiao Huran listened to it with brilliance in his eyes.

"Oh, I really hate this little guy who gets in the way!" She stroked her stomach, and she dared to say that, it was a dragon seed.

After a while, she leaned on Emperor Shi's shoulder and whispered, "They told me that the baby will be born in three or four months, and I want to go to Jiangnan not to see places I haven't seen before, but I can't make up my mind."

Emperor Shi stroked her hair and asked curiously, "What's the decision?"

Xiao Huran held her hand tightly, so hard that even made Emperor Shi feel a little pain, he was surprised but tacitly did not speak.

"You know, I was very scared before I came here. I thought that in the most powerful country in the world, his emperor would be a terrifying and unattainable person. His power and wealth would be unattainable.

So I kept telling myself not to bow my head, not to back down, or I would be looked down upon by others. "Xiao Hunian suddenly told him.

"But after coming here, I found out that it's not like that." She said, cradling into Emperor Shi's arms, like a lazy kitten: "I have a good life here, and I like it very much."

"What do you like!" Emperor Shi grabbed the key and asked quite contentedly.

Xiao Hunian didn't answer, just squeezed his big hand: "But because of this, I started to worry again, worrying about whether I am the daughter of the Daliao Princess or the concubine of Qin."

Emperor Shi suddenly understood what she meant. The current relationship between Qin and Liao is very complicated and delicate. On the surface, they maintain peace. But everyone knows that the two countries are mortal enemies. .

Under such circumstances, Xiao Hunian came to Qin State, the contradictions and hardships involved are unimaginable.

"You can do whatever you want. You don't have to think so much. No one dares to force you." Emperor Shi said softly, stroking her hair.

"You don't have to blame yourself or think nonsense. I have calmed more than a hundred states in the world and ruled tens of millions of people. I won't accept you because of your Khitan people, and I won't let you be conceited about your family. Those are all things to me. No, at a large level, I prefer to uphold morality rather than petty interests.

Just be yourself, I like Xiao Huran like that, independent and lively, galloping like a cheerful pony and unwilling to stop. "

For Shi Huang, he thought about using Xiao Huran, but the biggest use was to hope that Xiao Huran would give birth to a son of the Xiao family of the Liao State for him, and also strengthen the legitimacy of his descendants to the north.

Apart from that, he never thought of anything else. Although he was cautious, Emperor Shi, who had not met an opponent for more than ten years, did not feel that Liao was his opponent.

Xiao Huran leaned against his chest, "I'm not your pony!"

After being quiet for a while, she said, "But I now know who I am. I am the imperial concubine of the Great Qin Kingdom, a noble woman in the world, and the wife of the Lord of Ten Thousand People."

"I always wanted to go to Jiangnan, I just wanted to be by your side and give myself some time, so that I can hesitate again, now I don't want to push it, I have a lot of things to tell you, because now I am your wife, Qin Guo The princess, our child will be born in the summer."

The shadows of the old trees blocked the sunlight for them, and the fine beams of light rendered a dream world of light and shadow intertwined.

Xiao Huran quickly put down his worries and told him a lot of things, about her father Xiao Siwen and Gao Xun's plans, and about the secrets of Yongxing Palace.

After saying this, she completely determined that she was the imperial concubine of Qin.

Emperor Shi thought that she must have been suffering and conflicted before. She wanted to tell herself, and she felt that she would betray her family and country, but she was already the concubine of the Qin state. Although Emperor Shi used more methods to get her, But in the past two years, their relationship is actually very good.

When their child was about to be born, Xiao Huran made her last choice. She was a wife, a mother, and no longer the daughter of the Xiao family.

Emperor Shi had guessed before, but after getting confirmation from Xiao Hunian, he finally felt completely relieved, and he could invest resources without any scruples. From Xiao Hunian's mouth, he also learned more detailed details.

However, he also thought that if his army went north in chaos in the future, all the guilt in the Liao Kingdom would be placed on Xiao Huran's head, and she would also blame herself very much.

So in order to eliminate her guilt, Emperor Shi also told her that he had seen through the plan of the Southern Academy from some subtle information, and also directly told her that the purpose of going to Jiangnan this time was to let him His father relaxed his vigilance and launched a coup d'etat, and the fact that his army of more than [-] people was already waiting on the northern border.

Xiao Huran was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. At the same time, his guilt was much relieved, because in this way, even without her betrayal, the result would be the same.
