Ch.1 — 云鬓添香

Page (1/3)

Now that she has discovered that she is not as good as others, Empress Zong will be more polite when talking to her majesty and her two daughters-in-law, and her whole temperament will become reserved and measured.

Even Aunt Zhou couldn't help but praise her, saying that the queen is now more dignified, elegant and dignified.

The empress, who had become more solemn, looked at the Yanyan Yingying in the palace with a calm heart.

After all, she knew that no matter how good-looking she was, in the eyes of her husband, she was just something that could be beaten to death with a stick. What was there to be jealous of?

Moreover, there has been no other heir in the palace for so long, so she can guess it no matter how stupid she is.

In this way, even if Zong's mind is empty, because he has confidence in his heart, he has a more stable temperament after a country.

Not long after the palace incident was cleared, while the stone slab in front of the Meridian Gate was still spattered with blood, Su Luoyun finally took the time to prepare a greeting card from her father Su Hongmeng.

In the past few days, Su Hongmeng's heart was like being put into a shaking diabolo, flying up and down violently.

When he first fled back to his hometown, he was shocked to hear that the prince of Beizhen had ascended the throne. He was so ecstatic that he couldn't believe his ears.Now he asked his servants to pack their luggage and rush to the capital to meet his daughter's uncle and claim the future title of father-in-law.

However, he never expected that even though he had submitted several invitations to enter the palace, his daughter Su Luoyun would always avoid seeing her with excuses.

Su Hongmeng was so angry that he cursed angrily at home, saying that his daughter had become a success and would not recognize me.Unfilial piety is a grave sin!She is not afraid of impeachment by the admonishment officials!

Fortunately, although his daughter avoided seeing her, everyone from all over the country knew that his daughter had become the crown princess, and there were a lot of favors and favors coming to her these days.

Su Hongmeng was really moisturized for a while.Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and soon came the news that the crown prince's eye disease had relapsed and she and the prince had divorced.

Now it's great, all the people who came to deliver benefits have turned against him.Even the widow he remarried came to make trouble with him, saying that Su Luoyun was as brave as a bell and actually asked to go.

It's a good time now. The wealth and honor that have been scattered all over the sky can't be picked up. If not, life will be difficult because of offending the prince.

After Su Luoyun moved out of the palace, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Su Hongmeng.

It's a pity that this time I was the one who avoided it.After Su Hongmeng heard about his renewal, he just sent someone to send a letter of righteousness to Su Luoyun, saying that she could not abide by women's ways and serve the prince well, which had brought shame to the Su family. He, Su Hongmeng, could only treat her as a daughter.

However, Su Hongmeng had randomly agreed to many errands that he couldn't accept. Even for things like helping to change the land registration, he had to agree to several errands with his relatives.

Now Su Luoyun was kicked out of the East Palace all at once, and all the benefits he had received in the past had to be returned.

Unfortunately, due to the war, the cash flow in his shop was not good, and all the benefits were put in. How could he get it back?

As a result, several angry people reported him to the Yamen.When he was in a state of despair, how could he take care of his divorced daughter?

Su Luoyun had anticipated Su Hongmeng's reaction a long time ago, and she just sneered in her heart, but she was not very sad either.

But she didn't expect that someone she didn't expect would come to Qingyu Alley to visit her.This person is her half-sister Su Caijian.

With Luo Yun's help, Cai Jian sued her villainous cousin who had tainted her innocence and had a place to live. Although she had to work hard to help out with some work every day, she finally took root.

Because she was expelled from the Su family, she also changed her name and worked as a helper in the drug store.Not long after she was kicked out, her mother, Ding, also fell seriously ill. Because she had been defrauded of all her money by her brother and sister-in-law, she had no money for medical treatment. She breathed her last breath alone and miserably.

Caijian was now considered to be without a father and mother. The assistant drugstore proprietress felt pity for Su Caijian's situation, and was entrusted by Su Luoyun to help her all the time, so she could still have a living.

However, Caijian actually found a marriage for herself.

The man she knew, Zhao Wu, was a medicine dealer and an old bachelor. He used to work as a helper in a pharmacy. After learning the skills, he went out to sell medicine on his own.

His family was too poor, which delayed his marriage, and he also had high standards, so he would not look down on country girls with tanned faces and vulgar language.

It was fate that he fell in love with Caijian who was helping to keep the drug store.After all, Su Caijian is a rich girl. She also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from Hua Yinzi since she was a child. Her beautiful calligraphy is also very capable of bluffing people.

Zhao Wu often came to the drug store to do business, and the two of them only exchanged a few words during the transaction at first.

Later, after getting to know each other, Zhao Wu also felt yearned for her when listening to the poems that occasionally appeared in Caijian. He felt that if this woman was not so rough, how could he, an illiterate villager like him, meet her?

This is the only chance in my life to reach the golden branch.Even the golden branches in distress are pitiful.

So after this back and forth, he actually proposed to marry Cai Jian, so as to give her unborn child a status.

Cai Jian was helpless, and now when she looked at the man, she was no longer as focused on looking for the beautiful young master as before.This Zhao Wu is an honest man and has a lot of business acumen. He now has a lot of savings in his hands. According to the boss's wife, he is also an honest man who can be trusted for life.

So she readily agreed and married Zhao Wu.After the two got married, Caijian gave birth to a boy named Zhao Kang.Zhao Wu didn't dislike him at all and regarded him as his own.

Now Caijian is pregnant with Liujia again.When she first heard that her sister had become the crown princess, she felt ashamed and was too embarrassed to show her face. After all, she was not on the Su family's family tree now, so how could she have the nerve to take advantage of her sister.

When she heard that her sister's eyes had recovered, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But later I heard from her husband who went to Beijing to do some shopping that the Crown Princess seemed to have a recurrence of her eye disease. When the Crown Prince kicked her out of the palace, Cai Jian cried silently all night.

It's not because of anything else, but deep self-blame and belated repentance.

She felt that it was her unintentional push that caused her sister to suffer from this incurable disease.We obviously have a bright future, but we have to miss it miserably.

Caijian is no longer a young and ignorant girl. Thinking of all the things her sister has done to her, guilt comes out like a torrent.

As a result, Zhao Wu heard her wake up crying in the middle of the night, so he asked her why. His eyes widened as he listened, and finally he glared and said, "I didn't even know your sister was still the princess of the dynasty!"

Caijian has now changed his surname to Su, so naturally he has never publicized these things.She felt that she had been expelled from the Su family and her reputation was ruined. Why should she show off and ruin her sister's reputation?

After Zhao Wu heard this, he immediately said: "In this case, your sister is in trouble, you have to go and see her!"

Caijian whispered: "I'm worried about her too, but people say she offended the prince and was kicked out of the East Palace. I'm afraid..."

Zhao Wu said with the naivety of a countryman: "Isn't it just to reconcile with the prince? How can such a big prince be as narrow-minded as a needle's eye? If you can't survive, just find someone else with Li? The leader of the Iron Mask Army is also a man who is upright and upright.How can you embarrass your wife who is married to you?Besides, she is your sister, her bones are broken and her muscles are connected to help each other in times of crisis.What if you don't comfort her?"

The two couples discussed it, and Zhao Wu chose a large ginseng from his own medicinal materials, as well as various medicinal materials and mountain products, and took a carriage all the way to the capital. After asking around, he went to Qingyu Alley to visit his sister.

Su Luoyun really didn't expect that when her life was "bad", this half-sister who had long been forgotten by her would not be afraid of being implicated. She followed her husband and came all the way to visit her, bringing medicinal herbs, eggs, and dried mushrooms and other local products.

Although he was pretending to be blind and was afraid of being exposed, Luo Yun did not go to see his sister and brother-in-law in person.

But the visitor was a guest, so she asked Vanilla to prepare several bolts of fine fabrics and two hundred taels of silver as a return gift, which was regarded as a make-up gift for Caijian's child.

However, Xiangxiang said that Zhao Wu only accepted a piece of cloth, saying that this was the aunt's intention for the child, so he should accept it and go back to make clothes for the child.

But he refused to accept the money. He only said that he and his wife were here to visit relatives and were not begging. There was no reason to take the money back.

Besides, my sister-in-law is now living alone from the palace with a big belly. There will be too many places to use money in the future, so she can't defeat others like this.

After a lot of pulling and pulling, the money was not collected in the end.Caijian just thought that her sister was sad and didn't want to see anyone. She only told Vanilla to take good care of her sister and go back to the couple for help if they had anything to do.

Sometimes, whether the friendship between people can survive depends on whether there is sincerity and goodwill.

That day, Luoyun secretly looked at his sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time through the window.

Although she doesn't have the gorgeous clothes she once had, her cheeks are rosy and her eyes are bright, so she must be living a good life.That Zhao Wu also seemed to be a down-to-earth and honest person.

Although my sister Caijian is stupid, her life is pretty good and she meets a good person halfway through her life.

Although this brother-in-law, who was of a low background, did not read much, he was very sensible and had a sense of loyalty, which made Luo Yun secretly nod.

At least with the influence of a simple-minded husband, Caijian will never make mistakes or commit stupid things in the future.

Today, Caijian came to visit her without hesitation and with a pregnant belly, which showed that the kindness she had reserved for her sister had not been let down.

After the palace was in turmoil, Su Luoyun was personally welcomed back to the East Palace by the prince.To the outside world, it was only said that there was a quarrel between the husband and wife, and the Crown Princess went out of the palace to relax.

A wedding incident in the East Palace is actually just for fun?

Su Hongmeng couldn't help but moan in agony, feeling that he was really being flashed!

When he went to the palace to deliver the greeting card again, Su Luoyun had someone deliver it, but it was the letter to Su Luoyun that he had refused to see last time.

After his initial cold words, Su Luoyun only wrote one more line in person - "Father and daughter have a shallow relationship, so it would be better not to see each other."

As for the lawsuit surrounding Su Hongmeng, it did not disappear with the return of the crown princess.

It was as if someone in the government office had greeted him, but the county magistrate's face was tense and he didn't care about the future father-in-law's face at all.

In the end, Su Hongmeng was beaten with a cane forty times for embezzling other people's money, intending to bribe officials, and obstructing the new emperor's new policy of equalizing land.

When he was beaten, all the gentry and people who came to hear the trial saw it.

For a time, the story of the prince upholding the law and being selfless, and whipping his father-in-law spread widely, and it became another story told by the teahouse storyteller about the selfless and selfless prince of the dynasty.

If you want to ask someone to plead for your land, you should consider how much more valuable your butt is than the future ruler of the country.

The prince doesn't even give the prince concubine face, and the rest of them still have to put themselves to the test?

However, this severely punished the father-in-law and made people suspicious for a while. The pregnant princess was about to fall out of favor again.

But turning his head, the Crown Prince requested an order from His Majesty to posthumously designate the Crown Princess's deceased mother, Mrs. Hu, as a first-grade imperial concubine and the title "Huixian". At the same time, Su Luoyun's uncle and younger brother were also greatly rewarded.

Especially Su Luoyun's uncle, thinking of his several efforts to save the prince, he was promoted from a first-class military general to the Ministry of War.

Su Guiyan was demoted at the beginning and only went halfway to the north. Then he came back and was directly promoted to the second rank to make up for the vacancy in the official department.

Although he was only the second rank, his previous experience was only as an imperial editor and then as a local seventh rank.Moreover, he joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If he was not a great scholar from a well-known family or had outstanding political achievements, how could he join the Ministry of Civil Affairs?

Mr. Su is young and promising, and his future is limitless!

As for Su Luoyun's half-sister who had changed her surname, although she had never been granted a title, she was privately granted the title of Tianyi by the prince.

The couple guarded the land and were more than enough to become wealthy gentry in the area.

It can be said that the family is honored and favored, except for the father Su Hongmeng who got a slap in the butt.

However, when outsiders heard this, they felt that they could not blame the Crown Princess for being unfilial. It was really the future father-in-law who was not up to the task.

Such a clear reward also made people see the direction of the trend - the prince's father had a bad moral character. He had an extramarital affair, was unkind to his wife, and treated the deceased wife's children badly. He was really worse than a beast.

Your Majesty would rather bypass the living father-in-law and only reward the deceased mother-in-law, which is enough to show the direction of the Holy Spirit.

No matter how free those admonishers were, they would not go out of their way to make a speech to offend others or find fault with the Crown Princess for being unfilial.

Su Hongmeng was also ashamed and angry. Although he had a daughter who was a princess, it was a pity that he had offended his daughter and son-in-law so much that he could not receive such wealth from heaven.But it's not contaminated at all.

So after his business in the capital failed, he hid in his old house in the country and didn't like to see people all day long.

Besides, Zhao Dong, who had followed the prince to "tease" Concubine Shu, was ordered to mobilize troops to guard around the imperial city to prevent the vassal king from waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos when the palace coup occurred.

After the rebellion was quickly put down in the capital, he led an expedition and really went to the North.

Just after April, battle reports came from the North.Zhao Dong led the army and conquered the last two states.The good news came and the whole country celebrated.

Your Majesty decreed a general amnesty for the whole world, and a flowing feast was held in the palace, where the king and his ministers enjoyed themselves together.Because Luoyun was getting heavier, he socialized briefly in the front hall, socialized with the ladies, and then returned to the palace to rest.

Since His Majesty ordered the execution of several important families, the implementation of the New Deal has been extremely smooth.

Coupled with the seizure of the properties of You Caishen and several aristocratic families, the national treasury is becoming increasingly abundant.

This time at the celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition, the banquet was much more dignified than the last time the second prince got married.However, Su Luoyun's body gradually sank, so he socialized with the ladies and then returned to the palace.

Many of the family members of the officials who entered the palace this time were unfamiliar faces. Many of the female family members were not very well-dressed and spoke with a slight local accent.

Su Luoyun knew that these were the family members of a group of officials newly promoted by Han Linfeng in Enkoli last month.

As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, now His Majesty is cultivating his own capable right-hand man.

I think there will be more and more strange female relatives appearing at palace banquets in the future.

Although Su Luoyun was too heavy to take care of the women who had just entered the palace, she carefully asked her younger brother and sister Zheng to take care of these anxious women on her behalf.

It also saves some snobbish official family members, like Fang Er and Jun Guo's wife, from secretly making fun of others and affecting the reputation of His Majesty and the Crown Prince in recruiting wise men.

It's summer again, the night is charming and the stars are intoxicating.She held her belly in her hands and walked in the imperial garden, stopping and stopping for a while.

Xiangxiang and Jiqiu had left the palace to get married a month ago.The newly transferred palace maid looked at her slowly moving and couldn't help but said slightly nervously: "Princess, you'd better go back and lie down!"

Luo Yun shook his head and said: "The imperial doctor said that the most taboo thing about this fetus is that it grows too big. I eat well all day long. If I don't move around more, it will be terrible if the baby doesn't come out..."

In the middle of her words, a pair of arms suddenly hugged her behind and held her belly firmly, allowing her to walk with her back feeling much lighter.

She looked back and saw that Han Linfeng, who was supposed to be drinking with others in the lobby, had also wandered into the imperial garden at some point.

"Why did you run out?" Luo Yun asked with a smile.

Han Linfeng kissed her pink cheek and said: "The imperial doctors estimate that you will give birth in a few days. I want to walk with you more so that you can strengthen your waist and legs during the birth... What do you think, do you want to go out of the palace with me for a walk?"

Seeing that he was in such good spirits today, Luoyun naturally smiled and agreed.

As a result, two people and a carriage arrived at Tianshui Alley.

This is Han Linfeng's biggest hobby recently. He always takes her to Qingyu Alley for walks every now and then.

This place was the place where the two of them fell in love. Now Luoyun is carrying Han Linfeng's baby in his belly, holding his hand and walking on this familiar bluestone road, it feels like he is in a dream.

Amid the chirping of night bugs, she walked silently for a while, looked up at the man beside her, and said with a smile: "Do you still remember, when we first met you, every time I came back from the shop, you always appeared inexplicably at the entrance of the alley, and then you just didn't accompany me. I was so embarrassed at the time, I really wanted a gust of wind to blow you away!"

Han Linfeng couldn't remember having such an embarrassing time with her.In his memory, even if he and her didn't talk, they would still feel happy while walking.

Now when he heard that the pregnant lady next to him actually said that he wished the wind would blow him away, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You hate me for not taking the initiative and want the wind to blow me into your bed?"

Luo Yun chuckled after hearing this: "You still use the wind to blow? At that time, I always dreamed of you forcing my neck with a dagger. It really made me dream every night!"

When Han Linfeng saw how much she was doing, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the lips: "You also come into my dreams every night. Let's go to the courtyard of Tianshui Lane and tell you my dreams in detail..."

Su Luoyun was not sure whether this man was going to interpret the dream with his mouth or his body, so he smiled and refused.

After half a push, the two people arrived at the entrance of the courtyard in Tianshui Alley.

The prince of Wei was very worried about the fact that he could not climb onto the bed of his neighbor next door despite being separated by the courtyard wall.Recently, I always ask Luo Yun to come sleep in the small courtyard together, saying that they have a special feeling.

But when he opened the door and entered the hospital today, Luoyun was stunned.It turns out that the whole yard is actually planted with purple spiritual herbs, and there are countless glowing fireflies flying on the grass, presenting a dreamy scene in the blurry fragrance of flowers.

Seeing Luoyun looking at him in surprise, Han Linfeng lowered his head and smiled: "Have you forgotten that today is your birthday. Is this my gift to you?"

This unexpected joy is probably only understood by the couple.

It turns out that a few days ago, some blind people came to praise the prince, and they were filled with righteous indignation and compared themselves with good ministers, and narrated the harm of a person in a position of power favoring only one person.

The fool even plausibly asked the prince, what if a woman is so pampered that she wants to pluck the stars from the sky?

Han Linfeng replied coldly at that time: "A woman who can spoil Lonely for the rest of her life will not talk nonsense like you at all. If she really asks for it, even if she is in the blue and falls into the underworld, Lonely will do it. She doesn't need to worry about things that can't be beaten with eight poles!"

Luoyun heard about it at the time, but didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, someone actually took notice of it, and on her birthday, they really brought "stars" all over the yard.

This man!Although he is decisive and decisive outside, but in front of himself, he always has the mentality of a naughty boy...

She was moved and wanted to say something sentimental, but as soon as she opened her mouth with a smile, her face changed slightly, and her slender hands tightly grasped Han Lifeng, holding back her breath and unable to speak.

Han Linfeng saw the change in her expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Su Luoyun said blankly: "Why do I seem to... peed my pants?"

When Su Luoyun was in the early stages of her pregnancy, the fur in her belly caused her mother to vomit.But I didn't expect that in the end, it was a worry-free experience.

That day, the prince's bodyguards galloped all the way to the Imperial Hospital. After pulling the imperial doctor on duty and Wen Po, who had been arranged early in the morning, on their horses, they rushed to Tianshui courtyard again. A loud cry of a baby could be heard in the incense that filled the courtyard.

The Crown Princess was born smoothly without waiting for Po Wen to arrive.

While Wen Po was busy cleaning up the aftermath, Han Linfeng was still dreaming, staring blankly at the little wrinkled monkey that Wen Po had put into his hand and wrapped in a sheet.

Wenpo happily announced the good news: "Congratulations to the prince, you are happy to have a dragon and heir. Your Majesty has a grandson! The prince is really blessed. I have not seen a pregnant woman giving birth so smoothly for a long time!"

Not to mention Han Linfeng, Su Luoyun himself didn't even come back to his senses.Isn’t it said that childbirth is a gate of hell for a woman?

Why didn't she feel anything?I just felt that my belly was tight for a while, and before I even walked back to the house, I gave birth to a "big egg" standing up?

By the time the egg was transferred from the arms of her father, who was unable to regain consciousness, to her arms, the little baby was yawning and trying hard to hold up his slowly blooming face.

That nose and mouth are exactly the same as his father!

After the baby yawned, he struggled to open his eyes and smiled half-heartedly at his mother who was staring at her. She seemed very satisfied that her mother was a beautiful woman.

It was midnight and the palace banquet had not yet dispersed.

The people in the palace were also in a hurry. Empress Zong, supported by her daughter Han Yao, climbed onto the carriage panting and muttering: "These two people, who are usually so smart, are so careless as children at the critical moment! What time has it happened?, I am not in the palace to give birth, but I go to play!This makes me feel uneasy, so I have to go through the swaddling wraps that I prepared?I also need to bring some long wraps.After the woman gives birth, she has to tighten them to prevent them from deforming...Oops, why is the carriage board so hard?What if someone gets sick when they take Longsun back to the palace?Come on, put on more cushions!Hey, after all, Liangzhou is better. It’s not as big as the capital.It can make people lose their temper... Han Yao, why are you rolling your eyes there?When I can't see you, I have promised you that you have just become pregnant. If you behave like your sister-in-law, don't blame me for scolding your husband too!"

At this time, the streets leading from the palace to Tianshui Lane were all lit up with long lights.The fireflies in the yard slowly scattered everywhere.

At this time, the fragrance of spiritual fragrance is strong and soars into the sky, adding another happy event to the capital.

Luoyun held the child in her arms, nestled in Han Linfeng's arms, closed her eyes and rested contentedly.Han Linfeng carefully touched his son's young face, then lowered his head to smell the loose hair of his beloved wife in his arms.

At this time, the clouds on the temples are fragrant, and it seems to have a sweet milky flavor.

Han Linfeng also closed his eyes with contentment, and with the lingering drunkenness, he fell asleep soundly in the small courtyard of Tianshui Alley with his most precious children, one large and one small...
