On the ninth day of the fifth month, it is auspicious and suitable for marriage.

The sky was bright, Li Yue stood at the second gate with a light red carved gold button peony pattern, a row of glass lamps led the way, the sect ordered the princess of King Ning to come, Li Yue made a thousand blessings, the maid next to Princess Ning hurriedly picked up Li Yue, Princess Ning smiled: "Congratulations." ”

Today is the day of Li Fei's marriage, Li Yue changed her cold demeanor in the past, the smile on her face never broke, and said, "I still want to trouble you, borrowing the blessings of your children and grandchildren." ”

The two flattered each other and walked to the Yuqin Mountain House, Li Fei had just finished bathing, his hair had not dried yet, and he was dressed in a short and short way, and said that it was not long, Li Yue gave Princess Ning a big red envelope to the dressing lady she bringed, and said with a smile: "You have to worry more." ”

The lady who combed her hair received the reward with both hands, Li Fei smiled implicitly, and sat on the dresser dressed up by everyone.

Princess Ning is the third time to give people noodles, last year's wedding of King Jing also invited Princess Ning, two silk threads were pulled back and forth on Li Fei's face, the hair on the forehead and sideburns was plucked out, and the curved crescent eyebrows were repaired. Princess Ning looked at a bright and beautiful plain face and said: "The forehead is full, the hanging beads are thick, and the chin is plump, which is a first-class blessing and a blessed child." ”

At a time like today, who is not allowed to say auspicious words, Li Fei lowered his head shyly, and Li Yue said with a smile: "Accept your auspicious words, accept your auspicious words." ”

After the death of the queen, she was promoted to a noble concubine, acting as the queen's treasure seal, and after the first emperor went, she became the imperial concubine, because today's biological mother died early, there is no queen mother in the palace, and Zhu Guifei has a lot of respect today. The only regret is that Concubine Zhu Gui has never had an heir.

When Mrs. Tai leaned over and listened to the words

Zhu Qin was wearing a dark Wu Qilin supplement uniform, riding a pure white high-headed horse, like a fairy coming to the world, with a long body and a heroic posture, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he personally helped Li get out of the carriage with his own hands. And the Li family was wearing a big red four-group crane dress that only the Duchess could wear, and the fiery red color was even more framing the skin and frost and snow, and the eyes were obsidian, and the water was thorough and thorough. The two stood side by side, how many people appreciated it at the beginning, made in heaven, talented and beautiful, harmonious and harmonious, and a hundred years of eternal harmony.

Concubine Zhu Gui's palace room, smoking Su Hexiang, who soothes the nerves and relieves pain, day and night, Li saw Concubine Zhu Gui's cheeks that were so thin that she lost her face, her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly walked over, worried about a rare panic: "Second sister, what's wrong?"

The Li family has not entered the palace for more than a month, and before that, he only knew that Concubine Zhu Gui was slightly ill, and Zhu Qin had even fewer chances to see Concubine Zhu Gui with his own eyes, and he also walked to the other side of Concubine Zhu Gui with a worried face, and said with shame: "It's all because my younger brother is ignorant, so that the second sister is still worried about my affairs at this time." ”

"It's just that the old problem is a little stricter these days. "In front of the Li family, Concubine Zhu Gui is just

Zhu Qin didn't leave immediately, looked at Li with sticky feet, and said in a low voice: "Second sister persuaded Yueniang for me, as long as Yueniang can forgive me, I can be punished no matter what." ”

"I see, you go. Concubine Zhu Gui's words couldn't hear the attitude, and Zhu Qin reluctantly avoided it first.

After Zhu Qin left, Concubine Zhu Gui sighed lightly, took Yueniang's hand and said: "Let you be wronged, what you can't do now, I can do it, I'll do it in front of you, it's just ...... What do you want to do now?"

Li shook his head and said, "The second sister can help me for a while, but she can't help me for a lifetime." Since my father and brother were executed for such a crime, I was not strong in the capital, and once I softened, I was bullied to the head from time to time, both advance and retreat, and I have no children, now I can only count on his heart, his heart, how can I believe it now. ”

"That's right!" Concubine Zhu Gui didn't speak for Zhu Qin, and sneered: "I have been in the palace for nearly thirty years, and the only thing I can see through is that I can't count on a man's heart. ”

Li Shi bit his lip, this thought went back and forth dozens of times a day, and now he spit out: "Second sister really wants to make decisions for me, please make decisions for me to reconcile with him, if I can't make peace, I will admit to divorce my wife, as long as I can leave the Zhu family as much as possible." ”

Although Zhu Qin and Li were young, they were in high positions early. The old prince died seven years ago, Zhu Qin took the title at the age of eleven, and as soon as the Li family married into the door, she was a super-grade lady of the order, and the more this person went up, the more difficult it was to separate. Therefore, there is no shortage of high-ranking families who die depressed at a young age, because they can't go out when they are alive, and they can only go out when they die. It is not an exaggeration for the Li family to say that they are fighting to the death, Xu Jin's matter is small, Mrs. Tai is not important, and Zhu Qin's heart cannot withstand the imperial power. The daughter of a criminal minister sits with a super-grade duchess, how an eyesore for those in power, and such a storage is an embarrassment for the Zhu family. Over time, the Li family was afraid of being claustrophobic or dying of illness, so such an arrogant person as the Li family was fleeing for his life, and he still asked for an exit after retiring his wife.

"Silly child!" Concubine Zhu Gui is forty-four years old this year, and it is not disobedient to call her younger siblings a child, Concubine Zhu Gui stroked Li's forehead and said: "I know your thoughts, everyone in the Li family, you are afraid that they will not be able to endure the suffering of exile." ”

In addition to the old father, the Li family has four brothers, the eldest brother died of illness two years ago, the second brother died early, and the grandchildren were not over twelve years old, and the Li family has really been executed only by the old father and the third brother, and the corpses were collected by the old servants of the family and stopped in the Hanshan Temple. Li's fourth brother was thirteen years old, just among the beheaded, but the person was not in Beijing when the accident happened, her younger brother had hysteria, and the doctor in Beijing was helpless, and last autumn he went to Shuzhong under the escort of the housekeeper and the nurse, and sought medical treatment from the Fengci of the Shu Palace, and is now being wanted. Therefore, the exiled people of the Li family are the mother of the Li family, the Yang family, the eldest sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, the Le, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the two sons and daughters.

Exile is a cruel criminal law. The exile was allowed to sit on foot only in a no-man's land, but where did the means of transportation come from in a no-man's land, and the time limit of exile was fifty miles a day, and the prisoner had to have the local officials check it against the local officials, and the check was correct and note on the approval of the exile. Completely', and stamped with a letter, the exiles rest wherever they go, and if they are lucky, there is a post house, and the county government is in prison, and at that time there is a tile on the head to block the wind, and if you are unlucky, it is a broken temple, ruins, or even a wilderness. The exiles wore prison uniforms on the way, but the quality of the prison uniforms was not very good, and they soon became tattered, and they had to be wrapped in coarse linen cloth. The food and drink of the exiles on the way were distributed according to the local prisoners' rations according to the local county government, and each adult was given one liter of coarse grain per day, five cents of salt and vegetables, and children under the age of fifteen could only receive half of the adults. No one took care of this food, clothing, shelter and transportation along the way, and a few people were able to make it to the penal colony alive. The Li family, the Li family's mother is fifty-four years old this year, and the third sister-in-law has just given birth to a daughter, less than two months old.

Exile is often a punishment that tortures a prisoner to death physically and mentally.

The Li family's place of exile is still in the distant Lin'an Mansion in Yunnan, the road is winding and winding, the mountains are heavy and the water is heavy, and the distance from the capital is actually 4,500 miles, and the period is 90 days. Once the approval document is officially issued, the Li family and everyone will start to set off, and they will not be tolerated for a single day for these 90 days, and they will be severely punished if they are overdue. Someone once went into exile and wrote a sad verse:

In the past, it was rumored that the miasma road was passed by the ghost gate.

No one is old in the land, and a few people are still homeless.

Since Beijingluo, decadent sideburns and declining face.

Xi stays in the sand, and the morning walk is dewy.

The horse is in danger of a thousand bones, and the boat is in danger of ten thousand bays.

Ask me where I'm going, and the southwest is full of barbars.

Moreover, it is difficult for the Li family to live in peace when they arrive in Lin'an Mansion in Yunnan. The southwest land, the number is not barren, this spring is gradually changing, the smoke miasma is gradually worse, there is no need to kill, in April and May, the rain is flooded, the grain is exhausted, ten scattered and nine dead, the shape is like a ghost, the color is like black paint, and you can't live. This is a true portrayal of the living environment. Moreover, the population of the five ethnic groups in Lin'an Mansion, Luoluo, Budu, Pengyi, Mengxi, and the servants are more than the Han people, with different customs and language barriers, and they have always had no sense of belonging to the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Li Shi didn't dare to show resentment on his face, one hand hidden in the wide sleeve clenched his fist tightly, and the four fingernails were split alive, and he and Mrs. Tai snatched the secret arrow, and used all means to maintain Zhu Qin's respect for himself, and he had to worry about the murderous opportunities everywhere in and out of the Xuanguo Mansion.

Reconciliation or divorce, divorce of his wife, Li only wants to leave the Xuanguo Mansion as much as possible, when the Li family is just a woman who has nothing to return to, not a prisoner, she is still a free person, and when the time comes, she is no longer a foreign woman in the imperial court, so she can accompany the Li family without scruples, and take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. And not now, chopping the heart with a knife and enduring the resentment against the lord.

Li Shishi had reached the point of helplessness, and finally with tears in his eyes, he bowed to Concubine Zhu Gui, and cried: "If the second sister takes pity on me, it will fulfill my filial piety." ”

Concubine Zhu Gui hurriedly helped Li up, and unconsciously shed a tear and said, "Don't be too sad, no matter what, the eldest sister is still there." ”

The old prince was originally married to give birth to three daughters, the younger daughter married into the Qing Pingbo Mansion, the second daughter was in the palace, and the eldest daughter, who was originally married to Pingxi Hou Guo Ang, and later Pingxi Hou Pingding Southwest, added the title of Qianguo Gong to guard in Kunming, and when he died, he also added the title of the county king, and now the eldest sister of the Zhu family is the wife of the prince of Qianguo.

There were many eyes and ears in the palace, and Li just smiled bitterly and shook his head at Concubine Zhu Gui. It is better to rely on others than on yourself, and some words would rather be heard as kind words than taken for granted. And if the current emperor really trusts the Guo family, why did he set up a town guard eunuch in Kunming as soon as he ascended the throne, interfering in military affairs everywhere. The in-law relationship between the Li family and Guo Jiaming will let them instead
