The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 87
In the three years of war, there were victories and defeats. The barbarian cavalry in the southern border were brave, and the Xiqi warriors also killed the enemy in blood. The two sides seemed to be fairly evenly matched, but I knew that after many years of fighting, the external strength of the Western Qi had already been greatly weakened.

Last year, there was a severe drought in northern Gansu, and the old emperor wanted to open warehouses to release grain. In order to reassure the people, he exempted ten cities in the frontier from taxes for two years.In this way, the hearts of the people are stabilized, but the treasury is also empty.At this time, Concubine De, the mother of Helian Yunzhang, stepped forward.

She took out all the jewellery, gold and silver, and took off Luo Jin and changed into commoner clothes. Sooner or later, the bird's nest was replaced with porridge and radish, and all the money saved was donated to the poor.

His majesty the emperor felt his virtue, and after the next month, an imperial decree was announced to the world: Concubine De is a virtuous and virtuous concubine, gentle and compassionate, with a lofty heart, concerned about the country and the people, and agrees with her mother to honor the world. Palace, palm phoenix seal.

Three days later, the ceremony of the imperial concubine's phoenix crown swept away the vacancy in the harem that had been vacant for twenty years.

His son, He Lianyunzhao, asked for orders to go to the border to supervise the army the next day. His Majesty agreed to give him the title of King of Zumyuan, and he set off on that day.

The new queen and the new king are all serving the country. Xiqi Prince He Lianyunhong seems to be worried because of thinking, and three months later he caught a cold.

On the second day of the next month, in the middle of the night, at the hour of Hai, he died.

Prince Shang, the princes are naturally in turmoil and ready to move.The old emperor saw it, but he didn't care about it. After a few months, all the princes' strength was damaged in the open and secret battles, but the second prince, He Lianyunqi, stood upright.

And the marsh far king Helian Yunzhao has won several battles one after another since he went to the border. It is said that he is sympathetic to his subordinates and has far-reaching strategies, which spreads the name of the sage king and god of war.

One is the shrewd prince, and the other is the virtuous war god prince. It is really difficult to choose between the two. The reserve position of the East Palace has always been left vacant. Fortunately, the old emperor's spirit of dragon and tiger has not caused any disturbance for the time being.

After late autumn, it snowed heavily for several days in a row, and the winter plum blossoms in the princess’ mansion were competing to bloom. When the plum blossoms were at their peak, it was the coldest time in Xiqi. After the new year, I would be 14 years old.

Time is like a river, flowing slowly in spring, autumn, east and summer, with cicadas spinning silk in spring and butterflies flying in autumn.

That emaciated Su Qingmu has been washed away by the river of time, and my beauty has emerged from the cocoon.

I have grown taller and fuller, and my skin color has changed from a yellowish one that lacks nutrition to a fair and clear one. Although my waist is still slender, the vast grassland in front of me is not as flat as it was yesterday.

She has a pointed face, cherry lips, narrow and long eyebrows, and those watery eyes are watery, as if filled with a clear spring.

I don't like words, so there is a little more arrogance between my brows. There is a folk song in Shengjing, "Spring has spring, summer has hibiscus, and the colorful begonias are not as good as Leng Ningxiang."

It means that spring welcomes spring beautifully, and hibiscus flowers in summer are beautiful, but even the colorful begonias cannot compare to the cold and proud Leng Ning.

The Leng Ning they are talking about is me, Princess Ning'an.

The daughter of the Su family is beautiful after all.

"Fluttering..."

A white pigeon flew down to the window and cooed twice. I walked over and grabbed the white pigeon, took off the thin bamboo knot tied to its leg, and pulled out the note inside, which read: All daily life, The fish did not swim.

The fish hasn't swam yet, but it's almost there.

Shake the paper lightly, a burst of flame bursts out, and the paper is reduced to ashes.I smiled slightly, took a shallow step and sat on the chair, picked up a glass of red plum wine, and took a sip.

Three years is enough for me to grow my wings.

In the past three years, I have opened 63 casinos, 59 red houses, 41 banks and [-] banks, and [-] restaurants.

Xiqi, Dongmu, Beili...

The children brought by Li Jiuxun in the past have long since grown up, and were scattered all over the place with various identities, becoming my dark chess.

New children are admitted every month, and new dark chess are assigned every month.

My chess pieces have changed from a few pieces to ten, hundreds, and more...

I know what everyone knows, and I also know what others don't know. I have grasped the weaknesses of many people, and I have used these handles to make friends with many people...

I have gradually become stronger, and the time for revenge is almost here...

"Princess, the Empress rewarded fresh deer's blood this morning, and said that it is very good for warding off the cold and nourishing the body. The maidservant iced you with ice cubes to remove the fishy smell. You should try it." Qingteng held the bowl Whispering behind me interrupted my thoughts.

I turned my head, looked at the red bowl, and said softly, "Go down first."

"Yes." Qingteng replied and withdrew.

I picked up the plum wine on the table and took another sip.

Since I was conferred the title of princess three years ago, His Majesty called me into the palace every once in a while. The Empress gave me amber today, and gave me old ginseng to make up for my health in a few days.

Everyone thinks this is an honor, but I don't feel flattered.

Su Huo has been in the frontier for four years, winning countless battles, big and small.

Ranked marshal, he is no higher than the king, and His Majesty can no longer receive rewards.

Ever since something happened to Su Qingxue and Ji Li, it was difficult for her to gain a foothold in Shengjing, so she went to Wu Wanhua's relative's house that night, and Su Hong was dishonored after what happened, and after a few months, she went to court to invite her. resignation.

Although His Majesty did not agree and offered an official position, he also lived in seclusion from then on.

There is no one in the Su family anymore, His Majesty's praise and favor to me is just for show, to reassure Su Huo's army in the frontier.

The emperor's family, after all, only talks about the emperor's policy.

I lightly took a sip of Hua Niang, and from a distance, I saw Luzhu running towards her.

"Miss, Princess Nineteen's chariot has arrived at the door. She told you to go out quickly, saying that she wants to go to the suburbs of Beishan to enjoy it together."

I glanced out the window, although today is clear and sunny, but it is only the beginning of spring, the grass in the mountains is not yet green, so why go for a picnic?
Just as he was thinking, he saw a red figure running in, giggled and said, "Oh, why are you so slow, I've been waiting for you at the door for a long time, hurry up."

Saying so, the nineteenth princess ran over, pulled me and ran, I couldn't hold her back, so I followed her, and when I got to the door, I realized that there was not only the princess's car, but also Ji Yunchang, Rong Bawang, Chen Xiangnian and Liu Ronger.

In a few years, I am changing, and everyone is changing.

Ji Yunchang has grown into a gentle and introverted young man, Rong Ziyang has grown a lot, but he still looks like a dandy, the nineteenth princess is born more and more beautiful, compared with the Heshuo princess Helian Yunpei back then, she is even more beautiful Nothing less than that.

Chen Niannian is like a hibiscus, Liu Ronger is long past her wedding date, but she is still in her boudoir.A few days ago, there were even rumors that His Majesty intends to make her a princess and make peace with Bei Li, but the holy will is unpredictable, who knows.

"Hey, why are you so slow, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Rong Ziyang raised his head and cast a glance at me.

Ji Yunchang smiled faintly, and said, "Don't listen to him, we just came here."

I nodded, the butler has prepared the carriage for a while, I saw that Ji Yunchang and Rong Ziyang were both riding horses, so I simply asked the butler to bring the bloody horse, smoothed the horse's mane a few times, jumped lightly, and turned over .

A group of people rode their horses and whipped their whips, and soon arrived at Beishan.

Although it is called Beishan, the mountain here is not high, because there is a lake in front of it, and there are always some young ladies and gentlemen who come here for an outing every spring.

"Hey, let's go over there and build a boat." The princess pointed forward.

I looked over there, and the weeping willows by the lake had just sprung green, and several colorful brocade boats were randomly parked on the lake, and the boatmen were calling for business.

There was really nothing to enjoy in the bare Beishan. The picture boat had windows on all sides, and you could still enjoy the scenery while sitting on the boat. Everyone nodded, and the princess giggled.

"Hey, boatman, I'll take care of your boat." The princess pointed to the largest painting boat with her slender finger.

The storekeeper immediately nodded and said, "Okay, miss, I'll give you a board."

"Wait!"

The boatman set up the pedals, and the princess pulled me to lift my feet, when a voice came from the slant, and then several burly people came over.

I looked up, and when I saw the face of the leader, I muttered in my heart, how could it be him?
The man at the head was dressed in an ancient pine and chestnut robe, striding over, glanced first at the princess, then at me, with a deep sense of amazement in his eyes.

The princess frowned slightly, "Hey, what are you calling us for?"

In the warm early spring, the man took out a folding fan from nowhere, shook it nondescriptly a few times, and said, "I've taken a fancy to this boat, and I'm going to take it. You can take care of the others."

Rong Xiaobawang lost his temper, "Hey, why are you so short-sighted, you understand that everything comes first, first served? We need this boat first, and if you want to swim on the lake, you can find other things." After finishing speaking, He was about to walk on the board with big strides.

I saw the leader put away his folding fan heavily, and two big men behind him stepped forward, one left and one right stopped Rong Ziyang.

Rong Ziyang smiled, hugged his shoulders and glanced at the two of them, saying, "What's the matter, want to fight? Hey, my forehand is itchy. Come on, let's practice."

The leader looked at the princess without saying a word, but took out a 500 tael banknote from his waist, stuffed it directly into the boatman's hand, and said, "We are gentle people, how can we fight and kill at will? Come first, then tell, that’s okay, I’ve already paid the money, so what do you say.”

"Why are you so unreasonable!" The princess was angry.

The man snorted, squinted and said, "Strength is the truth, and I have already explained the truth."

"You, do you know who I am?" The princess was so angry that she pinched her waist, her willow eyebrows fell down, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger.

The man was interested, and he raised his head arrogantly and asked, "Tell me, who are you?"

"I am..." In the middle of her words, I hurriedly pulled her. Others don't know, but I know who this person is.

Tuo Bahong, the second prince of the Southern Xinjiang Khan!

It's just strange, my letter has been reported, he should have entered Shengjing in three days, why did he arrive today.

The Nineteenth Princess was taken aback, seeing me slightly shaking her head, she seemed a little puzzled, but she still snorted and said, "Forget it, I don't care about you barbarian, boatman, we want to hire another boat, so we can just buy another one." The one with the pink hydrangea."

"Okay, okay." The boatman nodded immediately.

Who knows, that person actually said again, "What a coincidence, we also have our eyes on the other one."

After speaking, he took out another 500 taels from his waist and stuffed it into the hands of the boatman.

"You! Unreasonable!" The princess was completely angry.

Tuoba Hong smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, I am a barbarian, and I just like being so rude. Not only did we charter that boat, but we also chartered all the boats on this lake. We also talked about it." Reason' people!"

He intentionally emphasized the word reason, and then pulled out a dozen banknotes from his waist and stuffed them all into the hands of the boatman.

That stack of silver bills is worth tens of thousands of taels, which is enough to buy a boat on this lake, let alone a package.The boatman's hands were trembling with excitement, and he bowed to salute, "Thank you, guest officer, thank you, guest officer!"

"You kid, I'll hit you!" Rong Ziyang was furious, and was about to throw a punch when he came up. I had quick eyesight and quick hands, and I walked over with a quick step, before he undid the move.

"What are you doing." He was a little annoyed, but not punching.

Ji Yunchang glanced at me, and said directly to the man, "Since my friend has booked all the boats, let's go elsewhere and say goodbye."

After finishing speaking, he came over and shook his head slightly at Rong Ziyang.Although he was angry, he was not reckless, and put down his fist angrily.

I grabbed the princess who had been glaring at Tuobahong, and said softly, "Let's go."

"Yeah, let's go, there seems to be a new wild flower blooming over there, the petals are very beautiful, let's go and have a look." Liu Rong'er also came over to persuade.

"Yeah, it's windy today, we don't wear much, I'm afraid it will be cold, let's go." Chen Xiangnian also came over.

Although the princess was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. She stomped her feet, hummed a barbarian, and followed us away.

Tuobahong seemed a little proud, snorted arrogantly, turned around and stepped on the boat.

Or it could be said that extreme joy begets sorrow, as we were talking, the boat had already shaken a little, and the plank was placed between the boat and the case, and it was a temporary step, and the ship was shaken, and the plank was not stable, he kept going. When he stepped down, the board tilted and turned him directly into the water.

"Puff...cough cough" he coughed.

"Grandpa...Grandpa, are you okay." A few rough men hurried over to pull him.

The water on the shore was not deep, and the followers quickly dragged him up.But his clothes were already soaked, his hair was soaked with water, and his fan was soaked into a pile of waste paper, so he was in a mess.

We didn't go far, and we took all this scene into our eyes.The princess seemed to be relieved, took two steps, then turned around, and actually let out a giggle.

At this time, the nineteenth princess didn't know how overwhelming her smile was, nor did she know what trouble this smile caused.

Spring breeze turns into rain and hibiscus tent, looking back and smiling, Baimeisheng...

I had something in my heart, so I walked a few steps and turned my head to look. Sure enough, I saw Tuoba Hong's astonished face, looking at the princess's back and staying in place.
