After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

"What's wrong, sister?"

Qian Yue smiled apologetically and pointed to the horse pulling the cart:

"Perhaps I caught a cold. My horse is tired after two days of riding. It's getting dark now, and there are only about ten miles left from Kyoto. Can I borrow my sister's horse?"

Wang Yixia looked up at the sky, then at the man and woman.

The girl is beautiful, and the man is also very handsome. They must be a young couple.

"But I am also in a hurry to go to Kyoto. What will I do if I lend you this horse?"

"My carriage is quite spacious. If my sister doesn't mind... how about the three of us riding together?"

"This... you couple are loving each other. Isn't it appropriate for me to sit aside?"

Qian Yue covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister, I misunderstood. We are not husband and wife. He...he is my cousin."

"Sister, there is no need to worry. We are coming from Qinghe County. We are going to Kyoto to find relatives and see if we can do some business in Kyoto."

When Wang Yixia heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"My sister is from Qinghe County? But your accent sounds a bit different!"

Qian Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly sighed:

"Hey... to tell you the truth from my sister, my family fell into decline when I was young, so I had to leave Qinghe County with my father to make a living in the country of Yue."

"I remember that I was only five years old at that time. After living in Yue for a long time, I acquired the accent of Yue. On the contrary, I have forgotten all the local accent."

"No, our family has finally gotten better over the years."

"When I was in Yue Kingdom, I heard that the regent implemented good governance and gave merchants great opportunities... My father was homesick, so he and his family returned to Qinghe County."

"My father thought that he couldn't miss such a good opportunity, but he had no children, so he had no choice but to ask me to come to Kyoto."

Qian Yue glanced at Shen Jiye, then her eyes fell on Wang Yixia's face, and said with a smile:

"It was naturally inconvenient for me to come as a woman, so my father invited my cousin to go with me."

"Oh……"

Wang Yixia nodded and suddenly asked again:

"Does my sister know the people of the Cui family in Qinghe?"

Qian Yue's heart skipped a beat again, "The Cui family of Qinghe is a wealthy family. Our Wang family is far behind them. Even if we want to reach higher, we can't reach them."

Wang Yixia was a little disappointed. After all, the marriage was a finger-to-tip wedding.

After all, she and her fiancé Cui Yu have not yet met.

It's not that Taiyuan is far away from Qinghe, but that she has been fond of martial arts since she was a child, so she went to Xiangshan to practice martial arts with an expert hermit.

As she grew up slowly, from a girl to a young girl, her love interest gradually opened up, and naturally she became extremely curious about her fiancé.

When Yicheng came down the mountain, he thought that the marriage was about to take place, but unexpectedly he heard that Cui Yu had gone to Kyoto to take the exam.

This was originally a good thing.

He writes articles and I use swordsmanship, which is a combination of civil and military skills, but I heard that Cui Yu doesn't like martial arts!

He even hates people who practice martial arts!

He said that the martial artist was vulgar, ignorant of etiquette, and unruly!

and many more!

This made Wang Yixia feel very uncomfortable.

You may not like my appearance, but you cannot dislike my heroic demeanor!

Therefore, Wang Yixia rushed to Kyoto, and what he wanted was to find Cui Yu and ask what happened——

If there is no chance, then break off the engagement early!

The engagement of a dignified regent can be annulled, so what's the problem with a little scholar like you being annulled?

Therefore, the fourth lady of the Xia family came to Kyoto just to see her fiancé, have a good chat with him, and then... have a good time together!

After all, they are from aristocratic families. Breaking off the engagement will definitely cause some loss of face, but it is better than forcibly getting them together and spending the rest of their lives hating each other.

This place is not far from Kyoto. When we get to Kyoto, we must first find our three brothers and get to know Cui Yu first. It is not too urgent, so we will make it easier for the two cousins.

Just like that, Wang Yixia sat in Qian Yue's carriage.

Her bay-red horse reluctantly pulled up the carriage and headed towards Kyoto.

……

……

Under the sunset.

Twilight is golden.

The wintersweet in the plum garden is already in bud.

Those goose-yellow wintersweet flower bones seem to have a layer of bright red light.

Wu Qin was wandering on the bluestone corridor among the plum trees, looking at the plum trees with different styles and the vibrant flower buds on the plum trees, but did not notice the flower buds under the sunset. A different kind of beauty.

Just because her mind is not on flower viewing.

The girl's face turned red.

Her hair was fluttering in the autumn wind, and her autumn-like eyes reflected flower buds, but what she saw deep in her eyes seemed to be Li Chenan. He's finally coming back!

After he comes back...

Wu Qin stretched out a hand and placed it on the plum branch, with a smile that was more beautiful than the sunset on his face.

It's not that he will ascend the throne as emperor when he comes back.

But with him by his side, my heart seemed to have a place to rest.

Will you live here or in the palace in the future?

She found that she liked this plum garden.

The Plum Garden also has walls, but they are not as high as the palace walls.

The plum garden is not as big as the harem, but it makes me feel very comfortable and not at all depressed.

Although life in the palace is worry-free, it is full of worries.

He saw a lot of things that happened in the palace, heard a lot of darker things, and met a lot of ordinary people along the way. Wu Qin found that although the people lived a hard life, their thoughts were far less than those in the palace. complex.

This may be what Qiu Balou said.

Classes are different.

The goals pursued are different.

Ordinary people just want to have enough to eat and clothing to wear. If they can have a little surplus in a year, they will be very happy.

But in the palace...

That place is power, money, and a life-and-death struggle!

If an official wants to become a bigger official, he must deliberately try to curry favor with the superior, stepping on the corpses of his colleagues and climbing up step by step.

They eat honey and sword.

They are calculating every moment.

Are they happy?

Qiu Balou said that their happiness is temporary. When they take a step upward and look back at the corpses of others at their feet, they will smile like a winner.

Then you will continue to climb on thin ice.

This is the current state of officialdom.

When I asked Qiu Balou what he had to say, he said...

Maybe he can figure it out!

He is Li Chenan.

This has been the status quo of officialdom for thousands of years. Can Chen An really solve it?

How can we make officials focus on serving the people instead of pursuing greater power?

Wu Qin smiled hoarsely, this was not something she could have imagined.

This is a man's thing.

My own business...

In addition to caring for her husband and raising children, she also spends time spinning.

He promised to make me a better spinning wheel, but did he forget that?

Just when Wu Qin was thinking about this, her personal maid Huan'er hurried over.

"Your Highness..."

"Shoufu Wen and Zhongshu ordered Mr. Nian Chengfengnian to ask for an audience!"

Wu Qin calmed down and followed Huan'er.

Wen Boyu and others were outside the Painted Plum Pavilion.

He was wearing green clothes, with his hands behind his back, looking at the towering big-leaf banyan tree deep in the plum garden.

Nian Chengfeng looked at Wen Boiyu:

"What's so nice about that tree?"

Wen Boyu sighed slowly:

"It's better looking than the one in Fengyi Palace..."

"Only twenty years have passed, and the four big-leaved banyan trees in Kyoto have all grown into big trees, but the mother tree in Fengyi Palace... I'm afraid it won't survive this winter."

"This is the replacement of the old with the new."

"It's just the traces of the passage of time."
