176 Requested (
When my mother first set up Mulan to ride, the team was riding no more than dozens of people, and more than 100 people were selected to ride, but now there are a whole team of 100 people riding and more than 300 people choosing to ride. Dugu Shao brought a team to ride, and joined with a team of Hulu Duobao, four of them wore silk cloth skirts, raised a waist, and the rest of them were wearing Hu clothes inside, wearing silk armor outside, with long knives, short boots, standing on a footstanding, and the momentum was not lost to Qianniuwei.
Dugu Shao asked me to sit on my waist, pressed the knife myself, and led someone to guard the side, and when I left, I seemed to glance back at Cui Mingde inadvertently, and asked her, "Is Cui Er going?"
Cui Mingde didn't answer, but got up and walked to the back of the team in small steps, Dugu Shao waved his hand, and the person raised his waist and walked quickly towards Zichen Palace, while she herself was a few steps behind, behind her waist and before Cui Mingde.
Chengxiang Hall and Zichen Hall are not far away, but at this moment, the palace is full of guards, strict guards, and Dugu Shao and his party are carrying knives, so we stopped all the way, and it took some time.
I took advantage of this time to think a lot: the current situation, my mother's thoughts, the position of the ministers, and the direction of the wind in the court...... Since I remembered Wei Huan's stay in Beijing, these situations have been pondered by me countless times, and although it is a ritual rather than a ceremony, my mother's calculations are always average.
It's a pity that it is precisely because these things have been pondered countless times by me, and I have thought too much, but it seems even more inextricably linked and clueless.
Seeing that Zichen Hall was approaching, I couldn't help but clench my fists, turned my head to look at Cui Mingde, slowly leaned over when I got down, and asked her again: "If there is no perfect way, then... What is the way to fight?" was already desperate, but the person calmed down, thought about it, and said: "I don't want to do it, just in case Ah Huan is willing to stay..."
Cui Mingde glanced at me and said in a low voice: "Do you think that with her temperament, she will be willing to take a big risk to stay in Beijing, or will she go away to avoid trouble in order to plan for the future?"
I know what she means, with Wei Huan's nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, if she really chooses by herself, β‘β‘ out of ten will choose to follow Li Rui's country, but thinking of that day she promised to be with me for a long time, I can't help but have some hope - since she was willing to take the risk and agree to be with me that day, would she be willing to be with me today...... What about adventure with me?
I know it's selfish to think like that. But I am such a selfish person. At such a critical juncture, what I was thinking about was not what was good for her, but... How far is she willing to do it for me. Fortunately, I wasn't selfish to the end, and before Cui Mingde could reply, I gritted my teeth and couldn't bear to stop her: "Don't tell me, let her... Let's go. β
I closed my eyes and was about to lift my skirt inside, Cui Mingde grabbed me, waited for me to turn around, opened my mouth gently, and spit out the word "check and balance".
I suddenly realized that after the enlightenment, I felt that the choice became more difficult. absentmindedly entered with others, but saw Pei Yan, Liu Yizhi, Liu Yizhi, Yuan Wanqing and other close ministers outside the curtain, Wan'er, Tuan'er, A Qing, He Lou and several other Shang Gong and several nursing mothers, and the mother was sitting on the throne with Fengjie in her arms.
When the ministers saw me come in, they all bowed down to say goodbye to their mother, who nodded and told Gao Yanfu to send them out, and when they turned their heads again, they raised Fengjie higher: "Taiping, come to see San Lang." β
I instantly understood that my mother had rearranged the teeth of the first emperor and the emperor, and my grandmother had done this, my father was the ninth in line, and because he was the third son of my grandmother, he had been called "San Lang", and now my mother has also done the same, and recognized the newly recognized son Fengjie, or Li Dan, as San Lang.
History goes round and round, no matter where it began to twist, and now it turns back in the end, if so, my princess Changle who crossed over, and the princess Taiping in the past, is it... Will Wei Huan, the Empress Wei, be like the Empress Wei in the past? God inexplicably let me pass through, what is it for? What is the purpose of my re-living life? Is it just to get here, to be a princess who eats and waits for death, to fall in love with her sister-in-law, and to develop a freak love with her, and in the end neither of them will die well?
I suddenly felt that my life for two lifetimes was just a joke made by God. Li Taiping is a person who was as light as a feather in his previous life, and he is only dispensable in this life.
History requires Wu Zetian to have a daughter, so she has a daughter. This daughter can be me, someone else, a princess of Taiping in another time and space, or a princess of Changle in this time and space, as for the temperament and appearance of this princess, her ambitions and ideals are not important at all.
History also needs the Tang Dynasty to have a Queen Wei, whether it is the queen of Tang Zhongzong in the previous life, or the wife of Li Rui in this life, so there is Wei Xuanzhen's daughter Wei, no matter how many Weis are ranked and what her name is, as long as she is a Wei, with Wu Zetian's equally symbolized son who went to other places, experienced hardships, and then arbitrarily seized power and killed himself after the bitterness.
In the face of the torrent of history, our joys, sorrows, loves, hatreds, and resentments are not important at all. It doesn't even matter whether we go or stay, whether we die or live.
I knelt down and bowed slowly to my mother and Li Dan. My mother didn't tell me to get up immediately, but walked up to me step by step with Li Dan in her arms, squatted down, and let the one-year-old Li Dan stand in front of me: "It's called Sister." β
Li Dan let out a slurred cry, then giggled, reached out to pluck the pearl hairpin on my head, and my mother quickly stopped him, "Don't bully your sister." He handed Li Dan into the hands of the nurse, took my hand and asked me up, touched my face, and asked gently, "Are you frightened?" β
I shook my head, nodded again, and asked her softly, "Six... Jiro will leave today?"
The mother turned her head to look at the nurse teasing Li Dan, and after a while, she said, "I have asked someone to pack up and prepare, and before sunset, I will send him out of the city." β
At least Li Rui also made a county king, with luggage to collect, and a wife and children to accompany him, which is much better than when Li Sheng left last year. Ah Huan's situation is much better than what she can have in Beijing.
I looked down at my hand, and in a trance my palms and fingertips seemed to be hot, as if I were holding another person's handβI had shaken her hand day and night, shortly, less than a year ago. The touch of her hand is still fresh in my memory, and the fragrance on her body does not seem to be far away, and even the aches around me that have not completely dissipated still have her smell, but she is about to leave me, thousands of miles away, I don't know whether it is a remote or prosperous place.
She would be under the watchful eye of the local authorities, working day and night against her husband, whom she didn't like, raising sons who were not her own, and perhaps a group of concubines in her local Sinna. She will be frightened, and an edict in Beijing that does not distinguish between authenticity and falsity can easily take the life of her family. Naturally, she is also far away from right and wrong, if she is lucky, she can return to the capital again, become the queen above ten thousand people, and arbitrarily exercise power with the emperor's suffering, and if she is unlucky, she will also have the opportunity to die outside the capital as a princess.
I doubt that I really love her, according to the love stories I got from TV dramas and forums, if I really love her, I should be desperate and desperate, but I have always hesitated, until now, I still want to keep her because of my own selfishness. I also wonder if she ever loved me, a question I have never received an answer to, and I may never get an answer for the rest of my life.
I have lived two short lives, and I have only liked such a person, and I have only been liked by such a person. The time I spent with her was so short, so short that I didn't know how deep my feelings were. She and I did think seriously about the future, but the future we were thinking about had nothing to do with the real future. She and I have had the courage to bear this unknown future, but this courage is not vulnerable to the torrent of history. Everything about us is small and fragile, and it is not worth mentioning in front of history, fate, and even our mother.
Everything we've ever lived is meaningless.
My mother watched me silently and didn't speak, and after a long time, she reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, and said softly: "Wait outside the palace gate, and send your brother well." β
I raised my eyes to look at her: "A-Niang didn't see him... What?"
The mother said lightly: "It's okay to see it, it's okay not to see it." As if to respond to her words, Gao Yanfu bowed down and came in from outside, quietly glanced at his mother, looked at me again, wanted to speak and stopped, and listened to his mother say, "There is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say", before kneeling down neatly, and said loudly: "King Luling wants to see the Queen Mother and the princess before parting." β
Mother raised her eyebrows: "That's it?"
Gao Yanfu said: "King Luling said that he knew that he had sinned deeply, and he should have been deeply ashamed, so he set off immediately to atone for his previous sins. It's just that it's a long way to go, and the queen mother is old, the princess is still young, and the king of Luling can't rest assured, so he wants to say goodbye and talk about the heart of being a son of man and a brother. β
This is by no means what Li Rui can say. parting to see, deliberately said so sadly, it is clear that there is something else to ask for.
My heart felt like it came to life, and it jumped and beat and then and then and again, and then and so on, and faster and faster. I looked up at my mother with some anticipation, and saw that she showed a little unbearability on her face, but before she could agree, I slowly knelt down with her legs, and begged on my back: "Auntie, just see Brother." β
The mother finally sighed and nodded, "Call them in." 166 Reading Network
