Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 30 Princess Wannian
A certain princess was granted the title of Princess Wannian in the third year of Guanghe's reign.

——"The Tenth Annals of the Queen in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty"

When the footsteps sounded slightly, Liu Ying thought it was his imagination.

Yuntai had been guarded before, and they were all people who spoke with accents she couldn't understand, but they were all removed recently, and only the Jiade Gate was still guarded.

Must have heard wrong
Liu Ying pinched his thigh hard to wake himself up quickly.

At this time, she was slumped on the couch, with a red color on her face that was about to turn into blood drops, like a flower blooming with dew on a high place.

"Liu Ying, Liu Ying, don't do this next time."

Her skin was fair and tender, and when pinched, it immediately left a striking mark. However, the pain on her legs gave her a sense of atonement. She raised her head and looked piously at the gloomy sky.

Can God really see this empty cloud platform with his eyes?
Yuntai is the place where the portraits of the "Yuntai 28 Generals" were placed at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, this place was also used as a secret prison to imprison those who were inconvenient to be thrown directly into the cold palace.

After General Dou Wu and Grand Tutor Chen Fan failed to kill the eunuchs, Empress Dowager Dou was placed in Yuntai by Emperor Ling, effectively placing the benefactor who granted him the title of emperor under house arrest.

Liu Ying was imprisoned here by Li Ru and became another noble prisoner in Yuntai.

Princess Wannian Liu Ying was named after her fiefdom and food settlement was in Wannian County in Guanzhong. She was the eldest sister of the three children of the late Emperor Liu Hong and the least favored one.

Because her mother was Liu Hong's first queen, Queen Song.

The Fufeng Song family has always had the gene for producing beauties. As early as Emperor Zhang's time, a Song nobleman was born, who gave birth to Liu Qing, the Xiaowang of Qinghe.From then on, the Song family and the old Liu family have always been related, and the Song women of this generation were directly named nobles as soon as they entered Yeting.

Liu Hong was originally a young marquis in the Hejian Kingdom. The Dou family, a relative who was in power at the time, chose him to succeed him as a side branch because he had no power and no background in this young man.

If nothing happens, the young emperor Liu Hong will be the puppet of the Dou family for at least half his life. If he is unlucky, it is not impossible for him to be the puppet for the rest of his life.

However, in August of that year, General Dou Wu and Grand Tutor Chen Fan conspired to kill the eunuchs. Wang Fu, Cao Jie and others obtained the information. The eunuchs launched a coup that night and completed the desperate counterattack.

Regardless of the far-reaching impact of this "September [-] Coup", it is undoubtedly great news for Liu Hong - it means that he can put aside his relatives and become a true emperor.

Therefore, it is not completely incomprehensible for him to say, "Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother." Some people risk their heads by killing their relatives to take chestnuts from the fire for you and help you become the true emperor. I would also be moved by you.

Returning the favor, Liu Hong fully respected the opinions of the eunuchs on the matter of choosing the queen - choose which concubine you like to be the master of the harem yourself.

In this way, Song Guiren became the Queen of Song. The reason was very simple. In the eyes of the eunuchs, she was born to be a queen.

Eunuchs' aesthetics towards women are different from those of normal men. They lack the control of hormones on the brain and do not like sexy hot girls. Also, because of their physical disabilities, they generally have an uncontrollable inferiority complex and tend to worship that kind of goddess. A cool and dignified beauty.

Everyone looked around in Yeting. Isn't this the noble Song?

Although Liu Hong canonized the Song family, he didn't like his first queen very much.

For him, a country marquis, the world of the Han family was just a free toy. He was short of money to build a garden, so he clearly marked the price of his official title. He liked calligraphy, and those who could write well could prosper.

Empress Song may have been a very competent empress, and she was very proud of the emperor in front of her ancestors and ministers, but her noble and distant look prevented Liu Hong from having a strong physiological impulse.As a person who has been addicted to vulgar taste all his life, although Liu Hong's relationship with the eunuchs is as good as wearing a pair of trousers, the aesthetics are still very different.

To put it simply, he is a pervert and likes people like Wang Meiren and Queen He who are not from a high background but have excellent communication experience.

From the time Liu Ying can remember, his impression of his mother is that of a person like the bright moon. Although she has a somewhat indifferent temperament, she never burns people.Even if he is ignored by his father, he will not vent his anger on the servants. Instead, he is very kind to the regular servants and Xiao Huangmen.

When she was a child, she realized that she was not liked. Her father would go to the West Garden to play whenever he had time. Even if he came back to live, he would stay with his favorite Wang Meiren and would never come to Changqiu. The palace looked at their mother and daughter.

She was also left out. As a child, Liu Ying could not be as calm as her mother. She would lose her temper and smash things. In the end, she found that no matter how much trouble she made, Liu Hong would never appear in the Changqiu Palace to coax her like a father.

Liu Ying spent his entire childhood in anticipation and disappointment.

When she was 6 years old, Empress Song was falsely accused by the eunuch Wang Fu of using witchcraft to curse the Ling Emperor. Her seal ribbon was taken back and she was thrown into the cold palace. Liu Ying also moved out of the Changqiu Palace with his mother.Soon, Queen Song died of depression, and her father and brother were imprisoned.

Those regular servants and Xiaohuangmen who worked in the palace felt sorry for the injustice of Queen Song, and together they collected money and materials to bury Queen Song and Song Feng and his son in the Gaomen Pavilion at the old tomb.

A year later, Liu Ying was awarded the title of Princess Wannian.

Over the years, her appearance has become more and more like the Empress of the Song Dynasty, and her figure and temperament are better than her predecessors, as if the prisoner of the Changqiu Palace had come back to life.

And a person like Liu Hong will not be ashamed if he does something wrong. He will only not want to see the victim even more, even if it is his own daughter.

Just like her mother, Princess Wannian was forgotten, and Liu Hong didn't even bother to arrange for her to marry a young man from a wealthy family.

But Liu Ying didn't care. She calmly accepted her fate: some people are born prisoners, and even if the shackles they wear are made of gold, there is no essential difference.

It's just that the place where she was imprisoned changed from Changqiu Palace to Yuntai, and the person who imprisoned her changed from her father to Li Ru.

During the long period of house arrest, craft work became a pastime for the untrained. No one taught Liu Ying these things. Her mother had died in the cold palace when she was 6 years old. Liu Ying just instinctively felt that this was not good, but There was nothing else to do.

"I am a sinner."

Liu Ying stood on the towering attic of Yuntai, looking at Nangong's chancery and murmuring to himself.

"dong dong dong"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the sound of stepping on the steps was extremely clear.

It's not an illusion, someone is really here!
Liu Ying wanted to find a place to hide, but in this Yuntai Pavilion, where could he hide? Can he hide in the portrait of General 28?
She quickly straightened her clothes and regained her goddess-like majesty.

[When you get on the platform, you see a woman standing on the railing. Her eyes are a little blurry and her face is slightly flushed. You feel like you have disturbed other people's business, and you don't know whether you should leave first. 】

On the high platform, the skirt of the woman opposite was fluttering in the wind, as if she was alone in the world, but what she said shocked Xu Jiashu.

"Are you here to kill me?"
