green bamboo dream

What's wrong?

Ever since Brother Xi was born, Cheng Xunxun, who was never happy or angry, had a smile on his face. Although he didn't smile often, the corners of his eyes and brows were extremely soft. Why is it so cold like ice cubes today?

After all, Cheng Xunxun had strong self-control, and the coldness on his brow disappeared in no time, but the tight corners of his lips showed that he was definitely not in a good mood at the moment.

"Brother is going to the north." Without waiting for Yu Zhu to ask, Cheng Xunxun said: "...the emperor ordered my brother to wear the seal of General Zhenglu today at the court, as the commander-in-chief, and leave immediately."

Yu Zhu was shocked, and blurted out: "Where's the original general soldier?"

Cheng Xunxun has completely calmed down now, and shook his head slightly, with a helpless look in his eyes that are almost exactly the same as Brother Xi: "General Huo's training is okay, after all, he is old and his body is not as good as before. If you really meet I am afraid that we still have more than enough energy to go to war.”

When Cheng Xungong was asked to come back, how could he have thought that the old Khan would die so quickly and the new one would be so mighty?

Yu Zhu nodded to express her understanding, and then asked hesitantly, "Is that Xu Liewu's new Khan very powerful, and the emperor attaches great importance to it?" In her impression, although the relationship between the court and Mongolia was not good, they just kept confronting each other. To the point of life and death.

Cheng Xunxun patted Yuzhu's head, smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about it, take care of yourself quickly...I'll go to the front yard to have a look."

Deng De was waiting at the door of the instrument, and seeing Cheng Xunxun coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master is waiting for you in the study." While talking, he glanced behind Xunxun casually, and saw that two strange little boys followed him. Maid, I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Cheng Xunxun nodded and strode towards the study.

"Coming?" Cheng Xungong sat on the sandalwood board with gold and sea patterns, playing with something in his hands, and didn't lift his head when he heard the movement, continuing to focus on the matter in hand.

When Cheng Xunxun approached, he realized that it was actually a lucky man in the process of carving. The rough outline had been completed, and it was the appearance of Feng Xu Yufeng—the clothes were blown up by the wind, filled with immortal energy, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes... Cheng Xungong was carefully Carefully carve the facial features.

"It's for Brother Xi." Cheng Xungong lowered the knife quickly and steadily, and quickly finished the rest, blowing away the crumbs, and looked at it carefully for a moment, before throwing it in Cheng Xunxun's direction.

"I can't catch up with the little guy's full moon gift." Cheng Xungong put the knife into the box and said with a smile, "I'll give you a gift in advance."

Cheng Xunxun raised his right hand to catch Fu Weng, and stroked the smooth wood silently. It was black with purple in it, very calm, with a satin-like luster, and the top end was very high-grade rosewood.

"Be careful"

In the end it was just one sentence.

This time was different from the previous ones that just trained soldiers and organized several confrontations - Xu Liewu raised more than [-] warriors as righteous brothers, rewarded them generously, aroused the ferocity of the Mongolian men, and then stocked up more horses and weapons, aggressively stationed troops to suppress the border .

Moreover, there have been several trials of varying sizes, and the casualties of General Huo's men were not small.

I don't know how many people are calling the new Khan a lunatic - head-to-head is something only barbarians do

In any case, Xun Gong packed his simple luggage on the second day, took a few guards with him, and left Beijing for the north.

As the news spread, the most disturbing thing was Princess Zhuyi.

"...what is he going to do...what is he going to do..."

Mother Yu took Princess Zhuyi into her arms with distress, gently patted her trembling and disfigured body, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, we are far away now, he can only grab food at the border, Can't get here."

"He's like a wolf, he won't just give up like this, he won't just give up like this..." Princess Zhuyi gradually calmed down with her warm embrace, and she smiled sadly: "Snatching food? How could he be so rare about that little food?" ...Arucha and Borokqin are not clear, how can I not know? He has worked hard all these years for Arucha's driving, and he has turned a blind eye to Borokqin's frame-ups several times. Why is this? Isn't it every battle? After returning, the gold and silver brocades are piled up to the full, and I am afraid that not even half of them have been handed in..."

Mother Yu thinks about it the same way, the eldest prince is very low-key outside, but there are many rare treasures in the account, some rare things are not even available in the palace.

"Princess..." Yu's mother's lips moved, but she finally swallowed the rest of the words. It's really a bad fate.

At the beginning, because of the heavy casualties in the "Battle of Jiyuan", the last emperor could not stand for a long time. In order to preserve his strength for the civil strife, the first emperor reached a peace treaty on the terms of marriage.

The former queen was very sad, but the emperor's life was too difficult, so she had to reluctantly prepare a dowry for the princess. She was also selected because of her proficiency in medicine.Afterwards, she was honored with gold and jade, and the princess who was raised by the empress like pearls and treasures began the nightmare of marrying far away.

At the beginning, she was secretly happy, because the princess' husband-in-law was the eldest son of the Great Khan, he was handsome, powerful, respectful and courteous to his parents, and besides being a foreigner, he could be regarded as a good match for the princess.

What is even more satisfying is that since he married the princess, he has dispersed all the concubines in the tent, and only guards the princess.Although she doesn't have much ink in her stomach, she still remembers how rare it is that "a couple for a lifetime" is often said by the empress.

I thought that from then on, the princess could be considered to be in her early years. Although the weather was harsh and not as prosperous as in Beijing, it was not too bad, and she could be more free.

Unexpectedly, the princess couldn't get out of bed on the second day after the marriage. She was still a young couple and newlyweds. Yaner didn't know how to restrain herself. When she didn't think about scrubbing the princess, she saw scars all over her body...

After that, every time after intercourse, the princess had to raise her for several days... She even saw the bruise and black pinch marks on the princess's fair and delicate neck a few times.

She never imagined that the quiet and gentle prince would have such a weird habit

But what can they do if they know, they can't even send the news, so what if they take a step back, even if they do, the marriage has already been announced to the world, and the princess will die in Mongolia even if she dies

Fortunately, God bless, what happened to the queen's precious young son, and it was when the eldest prince went out to conquer the beggars. At least this golden opportunity was seized by the princess. The slaves who served in the tent were reminded, and finally Khan Arucha and Queen Borokqin, who were determined to save their son but were reluctant to bleed profusely, reached an agreement to add the princess to the bargaining chip

... She is obviously the daughter of the most honorable Empress Yuan, why is the life of the princess so miserable?

In this world, a woman without the protection of her parents and brothers is worse than that duckweed...

Over there, Cheng Siyi was also arranged by Cheng Xunxun to take a vacant position in the household department. There was nothing to do, but to order a job every day and get a salary. In this way, the Ji family was also very happy, and prepared the official uniform early every day. , courteously sent Cheng Siyi out.

In private, Yuzhu despised Cheng Xunxun a little, because there were too many officials like him who sent people to drink tea and get money, and the treasury couldn't save money.

In a short time, it was brother Xi's full moon, and Yu Zhu had a quick shower, and changed the water three times for her hair. After washing, she changed her clothes and came out, and she felt a few pounds lighter all at once.

I couldn't help but feel deeply thankful, fortunately, it was a clear and crisp autumn, neither hot nor cold, otherwise I might have to suffer.

Because it is the filial piety period, the full moon wine is also very low-key, just invited some relatives and friends to set up a few tables, and the hall party and so on are saved.

The female guests left the table quickly; the men in the outer court were not so quick because they wanted to drink.

Princess Zhuyi accompanied Princess De'an and several old ladies to the yard to see some newly bloomed famous chrysanthemums and Chinese roses, while the younger wives and grandma gathered in the rain bamboo house to talk.

"Look at your little appearance." Second Grandma Cen smiled and wanted to touch Yu Zhu's face, "Tsk tsk, what does it look like tender, and what kind of tonic secret recipe do you take, tell me quickly."

Mistress Cen also gave birth to a son in her first birth, but after giving birth, the spots on her face became more serious, and she was covered with thick powder every day, and it has only disappeared in recent days.Seeing Yuzhu with such a good complexion after giving birth to a son, I couldn't help being envious.

Yu Zhu avoided her outstretched hand, and said with a smile: "Where is there any tonic, this face is given by parents... If it is something to eat, it is just to drink more soup."

Ji Shi laughed happily, her face was clean after giving birth to Sister Ying, without any spots.

While joking, Mother Ruan came in with the baby in her arms.Brother Xi is wearing a miniature blouse today, with a pair of crystal round eyes embedded in his small face as white as jade, as clear as a stream, and his rosy pink mouth is sucking and agitating, As if looking for something.

"Oh, I saw brother Xi..."

Everyone laughed and gathered around to watch.

In the garden, several old ladies gathered or scattered, savoring several famous plants in the courtyard of Cheng Guogong's mansion. Consciously or unintentionally, their footsteps always bypassed a pavilion on the west.

Princess Zhuyi and Princess De'an sat inside and drank tea, and there were several pots of purple clouds chasing the moon in full bloom at the four corners of the pavilion, which were sweet and fragrant.

"My aunt rarely comes to see me when she has time."

Slowly playing with a porcelain cup with painted patterns on the inside and outside, clear flowers and folded mouth, Princess Zhuyi smiled.

A faint memory flashed in Princess De'an's eyes, "...It's been a long time since I talked to you. The last time was when you were nine years old. So many years have passed in a flash."

"Yes, I was cutting peonies for my mother in the imperial garden. My aunt passed by and asked me what I was doing to cut flowers."

"Do you remember?" Princess De'an was a little surprised.

Princess Zhuyi took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile: "I didn't remember very clearly at first... Afterwards, when I arrived in the north, I kept thinking about some things when I was a child. After thinking about it a few times, I remembered everything. It’s etched in my mind forever.”

It's just how many times, even she herself can't remember clearly... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
