Chapter 6: The Lady (1)
In the airtight inner room, Su Lan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling dressing crystal mirror and slowly untied her clothes, layer by layer. The strip of cloth on the chest of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info was uncovered by the bare hands, and only one person was opposed, and the last secret could not be hidden.
The undulating curves show that he is simply one, a woman!
Holding the silk handkerchief, gently wiping off the disfigurement powder on the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, this face seems to be the same, but a few changes in the details will turn this face into another person.
Despite their resemblance, they are not alone.
"Second brother, I have never been you. She slowly stroked the face of the person in the mirror, but did not dare to look at the mirror again, and slowly sank into the bathtub, curled up in the water.
Submerged in water, the soul seems to float in the void, and the past time also rises with it.
This is the fifteenth year that she has been in this world. From the time she crossed into this body at the age of three, she was called Su Yan for twelve years and Su Lan for three years.
This land is known as the Zhihe Continent, and it has been divided by various countries for 300 years, and it is probably a situation where three countries stand side by side and small countries are mixed.
And she is the youngest daughter of Su Yin, the general of Qi State, and Liu Yan, the concubine of the Liu clan of the Wang clan. Speaking of her crossing, it was another bloody eight-o'clock plot, where a well-known historian died in a car accident after witnessing the betrayal of his lover. This is already heart-wrenching, but the past few years that have been more bloody and bleak than her are really not enough to plug between the teeth.
Her father, Su Yin, was originally from the Chu State and was born in the Su family, the first family of the Chu State, but because he fell in love with her mother, he did not hesitate to commit treason and go away.
The state of Chu respects the family of gate valves, although the imperial power is supreme, and the gate valves are entrenched in the court, holding high positions, and faintly affecting the political situation. The gate valve is respected by the Ninth Family, and the family is headed by the Su family, and her father is the eldest son of the current head of the family, Su Jin. In the state of Chu, the head of the family has a very high status and authority, and as the head of the Su family, he is even more powerful. However, because of her father, the Su family's power has actually declined in the past two decades, causing other families and Qing factions to rise rapidly. In the past ten years, the battle over the gate valve and the battle for the storage position have become the dominant political situation in the Chu State.
Qi State is a typical literati ruling the country, and the scholars control the government and the opposition, but since Su Yin, military generals have also stepped onto the political stage, and the military generals' power also reached its peak in the year she became the crown princess, and with the death of her father, it returned to peace.
The Zhou State is a rising star, there is no difference between the cold door and the so-called aristocracy, all are treated equally, but the Zhou State is located in a remote area, and many people in the country are doing business, so the rich merchants are extremely powerful in the Zhou State, in order to keep the senior wealth, they form a consortium, backed by the powerful people in the court, and faintly control the situation of the Zhou State, so the Zhou State without a distinction is measured by wealth.
She burst out of the water, a dull ache in her chest, and she didn't know if she was suffering from the underwater stay or the memory. Knowing that if she thought about it again, she would struggle again, but she couldn't control her thoughts, so that the memories quickly surged up, enveloping her in an instant, and the unbearable heartache overwhelmed her in an instant.
After all, the first fifteen years of her coming here are the tear-making stepmother plot in the novel. Loved by her parents and brothers, she fell in love with Qi Lang without hesitation. A noble daughter, a prince, and a happy relationship, she thought that in this era of her parents' order, she was lucky to meet true love. The father and brother spared no effort to send her all the way to the high position of the crown princess, but unexpectedly, before they got married, they caught fire overnight and burned out their vows.
His father was killed, his mother committed suicide, and his second brother Su Lan died in vain. The former concubine's house overturned overnight.
She lived with her eldest brother and sister and returned to Chu State. After covering up and scheming, the world only thought that Su Yan was dead, and Su Lan was born from the fire.
Xu is hangover evoked the last softness of her cold and hard heart, and she almost involuntarily howled and cried, and for some reason, her eyes, which had dried up since that night, actually shed tears. thought that it was already a heart that was as hard as iron without poison, but it was so sensitive and fragile, I don't know which incident affected my relationship.
It was the plum season of that year, and the man in Tsing Yi under the twenty-four bone umbrella painted with ink. It was ten miles of red makeup that day, welcoming her to worship her ancestors.
It was that year that he took her hand and said that there was no way to guard the city. It was still that year, he looked at her coldly and said that the merit was high and the Lord was good for himself.
On that day, my father personally cut down the camphor tree in the courtyard that had been planted one year after birth, packed two boxes of silk, and said with a smile, this is the meaning of the two compartments, or that night, the fire soared into the sky, burning half of the capital, and the mother who was dressed in clothes and the brother who was dressed in plain clothes turned into charred corpses.
On that day, he gave her nine luan hairpins, and said with a smile, lonely luan does not sing, and when she is even, she flies for nine days.
It was still that night, she was dressed in a single alley, and behind her was the killer who was chasing her, but her ears were full of firecrackers for the prince's wedding.
"Qi Lang. She suppressed all the cries, her red lips had been bitten, the smell of blood permeated her mouth, and her eyes burned red, "As much as I have loved you, I hate you as much." ”
Qi Lang, who has now been on the throne for four years, is the new emperor of the southern kingdom who is diligent in the people's mouth, loves the people and works hard, and she is a decisive and brave general of Chu State, but there is still a huge difference.
From the moment she fell into the clouds, she had no choice but to take revenge on Qi Lang. Becoming Su Lan, seizing the rights of the Chu State step by step, and pouring the power of Chu into leveling the Qi State is the best revenge, although it is difficult, it can completely destroy Qi Lang.
However, this road was bloody and lonely from the beginning.
When he first entered the court of Chu State, he showed his talents, fell to the third prince as the second son of the Su family, and invited himself to the border, and since then he has been stationed in the Zhenxi General's Mansion for three years, and the desert is snowing, just to grasp the military power. married the concubine into the Three Princes' Mansion as a side concubine, so as to force the Su family to participate in the battle for the throne. The methods in the court are vicious, and they fight for their lives on the battlefield. Now when everyone mentions the word Su Lan, they will think of the criticism she got on that snowy night, when her family was ruined, and she came step by step, and slowly fulfilled that criticism.
Thinking of this, she stood up suddenly, splashing water and blurring the mirror, she looked at the person in the mirror fiercely, the smile on her lips was sarcastically dazzling, but her tone was indissolvably sad: "Brother, have I ever tarnished your name?"
The strips of cloth were tightly tied to the chest layer by layer, and the silver needle was stabbed on the neck a few times, and the Adam's apple was finely glued.
She looked at herself carefully in the mirror, and slowly put on the clothes that Fuyue had put aside. Today, it is a fixed program after the Shangyuan Festival of Da Chu, and the royal organization of the noble family in the capital to go to the suburbs of the Imperial Forest Garden for a three-day winter siege, until the matter is over, this festival can be regarded as the real past. This winter siege has always been a good season for the noble families to walk around each other and young men and women to look at each other, so whether they can participate in the winter siege has also become a time to judge the strength of each family.
Dress thinly, then sit in front of the mirror and outline your face. After staying in Gaozhou for a few years, there is no need to deliberately make the fair skin darker, but the edges and corners of the face are not hard enough, the eyebrows are not long enough, and these eyes are a little too charming. She changed the details one by one, and the face of the person in the mirror became strange again. The second brother of his own family was the best appearance among the men of Qi back then, quite a bit of bewilderment, there are several brothers and sisters in their family, and the two of them are the most similar, all of them follow the gorgeous and charming face of their mother, if Su Lan is really like her father, except for bone grinding and skin grinding, she has no other way to pretend to be Su Lan.
Fuyue was summoned in, helped Su Lan take care of her hair, and said, "Just now, Li Qing came to spread the word, saying that the holy decree arrived in the East Palace this morning, and His Majesty lifted the prince's grounding and asked him to accompany him." ”
"There was a disturbance last night, where did Your Majesty dare to put him in the capital. Su Lan smiled and nodded, chose a black hosta and handed it to Fuyue, "I won't end up today, can I get all the riding boots?"
"Yesterday, the uncle and Mrs. gave the order, and they have already been installed for you. Fu Yue tied her hair in a bun, and her whole face seemed to be stretched a little longer, quite upright, "Mr. Jin will meet you in the paddock, he was invited by the Li family this time. ”
"I thought the Zhang family would ask him out, but I didn't think it would be the Li family. The smile on Su Lan's lips did not change, "He is capable." ”
"Also, Chaoyang left Anxi yesterday and is heading to Gaozhou. Fuyue inserted the hairpin into the crown of her hair, "No armor today?"
"Don't wear it, I'm not on duty today, so naturally I have to take a carriage, it's cold. Su Lan shook her head.
"Also, be careful, these days are dangerous. ”
Su Lan also sighed, these few days are the time when her little day is coming, but she is just in time for this winter siege, her physique is cold, and she is miserable every time she arrives, which is really sad.
"Fortunately, Guoan went with me, so I don't have to worry too much. Su Lan smiled faintly, "You stick to the house for me, if there is any wind and grass, call me immediately." ”
"Yes. ”
"Also, tell them to prepare fifty thousand taels of silver, which I will use when I return. Su Lan sighed and stood up, "It's really distressing." ”
"Do you want to fill the hole over there?" Fu Yue also walked out of the door with her, put the big sword on her shoulder, and after adding material to the soles of her boots, Su Lan's height also passed one meter seventy-five, in this era, it is not tall, but it is not short.
"I don't have time to clean them up now, but before I go back to Gaozhou, I will definitely call them to come to me and kneel and beg for mercy. Su Lan still had a smile on her face, and she smiled even more happily, but her eyes were full of contempt.
