I was slightly surprised, because the current emperor is, after all, the world where the emperor killed the king and seized the throne, although the prosperous era is prosperous, he has always been secretive about the old things of the previous dynasty.

I have never heard of the past between Nan Chengyao and the princess of the previous dynasty, but my mother mentioned it at this moment, and it is not for nothing.

I vaguely understood what my mother meant, so I hid my surprise and listened calmly.

My mother, however, seemed to pay no attention to what I was thinking, and fell into some distant memory, but her voice still came softly.

"It is rumored that this princess has carried a crescent birthmark since she was born, and the emperor of the former dynasty abandoned the word 'de', the customary title of princesses of previous dynasties, and gave her the name 'Princess Jade Hook'. Infinite grace and extreme favor, originally he didn't look down on the Third Highness as his son-in-law, even if he was a general, a talent. But they're so good......"

The wind blew outside the window, and the branches and leaves of the trees rustled, and the mother paused slightly, calmed down, spoke again, and returned to her original indifference.

Later, the emperor of the previous dynasty really loved this princess, and finally agreed to marry the third highness according to her wishes. When the princess got married, according to the rules, all the members of the Nan family had to return to Shangjing to thank her, and they just took advantage of such an opportunity to secretly mobilize troops and horses, hide from the sky and cross the sea, and rushed into the Bauhinia Palace on the day of the wedding......"

"Does Your Highness know?" I said quietly, interrupting my mother's words.

"When the army was raised, the current emperor was worried that His Royal Highness would abolish the public for personal purposes and cause a major incident, and he was not allowed to know about the death order. ”

I nodded slightly, but I knew very well in my heart that although there were strict orders, there were many people who could say what was important. In the end, whether the Third Highness knew in advance or not, except for himself, no one knew.

Mother smiled faintly: "But it turns out that the emperor is just worried." That night, the emperor of the former dynasty and more than ten princes and princesses were not spared. The only one who escaped from the Bauhinia Palace was Ning Yutian, who was desperately protected by the emperor of the previous dynasty. But the last bloodline of the previous dynasty was not spared in the end, but he lived for three more days, and in the end, he died on the cliff. And the one who led the troops to exterminate the remnants and forced the princess to jump off the cliff was not someone else, it was the Third Highness. ”

I was silent for a long time, and my heart was not touched at all, after all, from now on, this person in my mother's mouth will be with me for the rest of my life.

My mother looked at me deeply before she spoke again, even though she was extremely self-controlled, her tone couldn't help but carry a little pity and guilt: "Maybe because of this, His Royal Highness will have a great change in temperament, and he will be happy with silk and bamboo wine all day long." ”

I smiled slightly, didn't speak, just wondered, I don't know if it was because of this that my sister made the move to run away from the marriage.

After the mother paused, she immediately smiled reluctantly and changed the topic: "Of course, although His Royal Highness is a little indulgent, he is by no means a talentless person. If it weren't for that, your father and I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage even if we fought to the death. ”

I smiled and still didn't speak, and my mother saw that I was silent, paused for a while, and suddenly asked, "Qing'er, what do you think of Yun'er's appearance?"

I smiled faintly: "My sister is beautiful and natural, and everyone knows it." ”

"That's because the world doesn't know that there is Ning Yutian. The mother shook her head and sighed lightly: "Ning Yu is the princess of the previous dynasty, ordinary people can't get a glimpse of the sky, and after the founding of my dynasty, there are many avoidances of the previous dynasty, and now, it is not surprising that people in the world do not know." ”

I was slightly stunned, and listened to my mother's words continue to come:

"But I had a chance to see her once. It was still the birthday of the Queen Mother of the previous dynasty, I accompanied your father to the palace for a banquet, this princess did amazing songs, photo dances, that is really, unparalleled in the world. The people of the time once wrote a poem 'A stunning song, dancing the world with shadows, wide sleeves and light comfort, but leaving a clear shadow to fall into the world'. You can imagine how beautiful she is. It's not that I'm arrogant, your sister is in front of her, but she is just a middle-aged person. And Yun'er, those subtle talents praised by the world are even less worthy of mention than her. ”

"Mother wanted to tell me that the sea was once difficult to turn into water. so that I may understand that I should not expect his love. After a long time, I heard my own voice sound, soft, and slightly smiling.

With pity in her eyes, the mother said softly, "It's good that you can see through it, but what I want to tell you is that although His Royal Highness has never lacked nephrite fragrance around him, he won't love any of them. Since he was able to watch the person he loved with him, such a unique woman jumping off a cliff to her death, how could he give half of his sincerity to the warbler Yanyan who is now surrounding him. Maybe you may not be an exception, but at least, you are the princess he is marrying, and the pearl of my Murong family, except for the Third Highness himself, you don't have to worry about anyone, and no one can give you grievances. ”

My mother looked at me, with the calmness and pride unique to the Murong family, and said word by word in an undoubted tone: "Qing'er, you remember, no matter when, no matter what you do, Prime Minister Murong Mansion, will always be your greatest protection. ”
