Chapter 5: Heavenly Home
I had a splitting headache and clutched in my hand the old sachet that had been with me since the death of my mother.
I forgot the person who gave me the sachet, only the herbaceous fragrance it gave me to help me fall asleep. This is only because I have a disease that even the imperial doctor can't cure.
My mother is the Empress Jingyi Xiaowen of this dynasty, when the crown prince of the dynasty was the crown princess Su before the emperor succeeded to the throne, Su died when the Bailu Palace changed, and the emperor ascended the throne and passed to the mother, and he was still my eldest brother.
When my mother was pregnant with me, she was still the prince Liangdi, she was plotted by someone, and she was eclipsically poisoned, but fortunately she was diagnosed by the imperial doctor in time and escaped. Unfortunately, the crown princess Su, who was also plotted against by the queen mother, died in Jiuquan.
This incident shook the entire palace and became the fuse for the prince's rebellion soon after. After the murder of the queen mother, several doctors insisted that I would be a stillborn baby, but she insisted on giving birth to a baby that was not yet full-term.
In the endless darkness of death and blood, the palace was ablaze with fire, and the wind was like the whimper of a wronged soul. The palace was filled with cries for help, noise, and fighting......
A newborn baby's cry pierced the gloomy and misty sky of the East Palace. At dawn in the east, the prince, with the support of his relatives and relatives, personally killed the king of Jiaodong, who rebelled against the palace. The sun rises, and the dawn covers all the sins of the night.
The war between the princes occurred in the Bailu season, and was known as the "Bailu Palace Change" in history.
I was born on that bloody night of the palace, and the next day above the court, hundreds of officials congratulated the new emperor on his succession, and everything was new.
Laizhou Kuaima Feishu came to report: Recently, there has been a century-old vision in the Dongze sea area, the sun and the moon on the sea are shining together, and the sea area is as bright as day at night. Chang'an was talking for a while, the sun and the moon were shining, it was the face of the emperor, and there had never been a female emperor in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, the national teacher of Si Tianjian called it a good omen, and it was the manifestation of the gods of heaven to bless me in the Great Zhou. The emperor did not doubt him, and was so happy that he granted amnesty to the world for three days.
My father personally gave me the name "Zhaoyuan", which means that I am the most noble first princess of the Celestial Empire.
He always said that it was I who brought him and Da Zhouxin hope. But the grace of the Son of Heaven does not seem to have allowed me to thrive, and I hardly ever left the Hanyuan Hall during my mother's lifetime, and my natural weakness has become a symbol of mysterious arrogance in the eyes of others.
When I was fourteen years old, I was assassinated, and a serious illness almost killed me, and also caused me to fall into the root of the painful disease. Therefore, I went to Yan Kingdom for a year. After that, it is very easy to lose sleep and can't remember things.
So I concluded that I might have seen him, and I decided to ask tomorrow if I had met him at a banquet in what year, and if the son of a famous family had caused such a catastrophe to be hunted down, should I lend a hand?
When I woke up the next day, I ran to him with my face straight up and told him what I had been thinking about all night. Sijiu was lying alone on the table and snoring resounded through the roof, and the star slave disappeared early in the morning.
I don't know how he endured Sijiu, tortured all night and was seriously injured, but now he looks calm and relaxed.
He said thoughtfully: "I think this matter is very appropriate. ”
I feel quite proud to be recognized, but when I think about it, I have no power to restrain the chicken, how can I help him escape from the enemy?
Seeing that I was in a difficult position, he said quietly: "It seems that Miss Gong is very embarrassed. After that, he also took care to pose as if the wound had recurred, but he didn't have an embarrassed expression at all, and the word "scoundrel" was written all over his face.
He leaned on the edge of the bed, his plain white shirt revealing a clear collarbone, and his black hair was disheveled, looming over a large part of the scene. His pale face turned bright, and his eyebrows and eyes became vivid.
Buddhism admonishes not to be confused by beauty. In the spirit of God's virtue of a good life, as kind as me, seeing that he pretended to be in pain without changing his face, he was still moved by compassion: "I can't say that it is even tired, but you also know my situation...... Wait, what are you calling me?"
"Miss Gong. With an innocent expression of an ignorant person, he pointed at Sijiu, whose saliva was flowing a few feet, "Didn't he call you that last night?"
I was speechless for a moment, and I felt like I had made a beautiful mistake.
At this time, the two little palace ladies walked into the hall lightly with their washing items, and saw me talking to a strange man who was also rudimentary, and Sijiu was snoring like thunder.
Such a strange and once-in-a-lifetime picture happened in the Lingxi Palace, where even male mosquitoes could not fly in, and the two little palace ladies blushed with excitement. Of course, the male they think should be the removal of Sijiu, who is a little eunuch, and the wild star slave.
I pointed to one of the red-faced Gong E, and followed the temptation: "Do you think she is very familiar, where have you seen her?"
He shook his head silently.
"For example, at a certain feast, there was someone dressed similar to her, who poured wine for you, or danced?"
He still shook his head.
I insisted: "Have you ever been to some...... Where is it more pompous and vulgar?"
He was a little interested and raised his eyebrows: "For example?"
I was asked by him, and I actually wanted to gradually introduce him into the scenario I envisioned, trying to find out if we had ever met.
Judging from his expression, he may not know that he is in the palace, and he is still sleeping on the couch of a princess who has not yet left the cabinet.
Just as I racked my brains to find an analogy, he tentatively asked, "Like here?"
I instantly felt blessed to the bottom of my heart, and agreed: "Exactly, exactly!" After answering, I felt that something was wrong, and the two Gong'e behind me who didn't know what to do kept talking to each other.
A smile welled up in his deep eyes. As if touching the heart of the girl Huaichun, the whispers of the red-faced palace ladies were about to turn into high talk, and I coughed twice majestically, and my ears cleared for a moment.
With a pale dry smile, I said embarrassedly: "It's me who can't discipline me, I can't discipline in a way." Hehe......"
Zhizhi descended like a god at this time, blasted away the little palace ladies who were as red as tomatoes, calmly looked at me and the man who were quite thinly dressed, and calmly glanced at Sijiu who seemed to have fallen asleep.
Zhizhi nodded slightly calmly, and Jinglan jumped out with her clothes behind her, followed by a long line of maids, kneeling in front of me in unison, like a one-sided garlic seedling in the field, and said in unison: "Princess, the slaves and maids are waiting for you to change your clothes." ”
I turned to look at him with a silent face, and suddenly felt a little awkward: "Now I know the truth, I don't have the surname 'Gong', I am a princess." ”
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked, "So you want me to praise you for the elegance and chic of this palace?"
Me: "......"
I feel like I've lived so long that I've finally met a nemesis.
