For pure ancient women, there were only a few daily entertainment activities: embroidery, reciting poems, painting and playing chess, and visiting friends, of which visiting friends accounted for a large proportion. Not going out is equivalent to a huge emptiness of their lives.
But for Sun Zhiyan, who has gone from a modern house to an ancient one, not only is it not difficult to go out, but on the contrary, it greatly satisfies her habit of not moving her nest.
On that day, she agreed to the request of Prince Shun and his wife to let her stay closed, and she really lived a life of not going out of one door and two doors.
At noon one day, Sun Zhiyan looked at the warm spring sunshine outside after having a morning meal, and suddenly didn't want to continue to nap in the house.
So, she pulled a few palace people who were usually close to her to the garden to play. Since it's spring, I must do something that should be done in spring.
Sun Zhiyan, who had just eaten and had a full stomach, did not intend to enjoy these delicate little things, but took the net pocket and began to flutter butterflies, and the cheerful laughter like silver bells soon sounded in the garden.
When the interest came up, Sun Zhiyan also stopped the action of fluttering butterflies, and sat under the pear blossom tree to flick the guqin music for the palace people who fluttered butterflies.
The atmosphere was just right, the fragrance of flowers was strong, and Aunt Lan suddenly entered with a wax-sealed letter, interrupting everyone's movements: "Princess, Master Ma's letter has arrived." β
Sun Zhiyan looked sideways when she heard this, silently counted the days, and found that a month had passed since the last letter was sent, and the new letter should have arrived.
It is said that in her nearly three months of homeless life, praying for blessings and copying scriptures, spring sleepiness and napping are the keynotes, and the family letter from Jiang Lu is an occasional variation.
Taking the family letter in Aunt Lan's hand and pinching it, Sun Zhiyan was not surprised to find that the book was as thick as ever, and waved her hand to let the palace people gathered in the garden disperse: "Let's stop here today." β
She had to go back and write back to Jiang Lu.
The content of the letter is probably still those, first describing to her the life at the border and the scene of the barracks, and then describing the thoughts of her in some words that make people blush...... At the beginning, when Sun Zhiyan read the letter, she would be like a thief for fear that others would see the content, but now that she has seen a lot, she will not feel that her face is hot, and she looks at it word by word in front of Aunt Lan.
Along with the letter, there were one or several ingenious small objects, this time a picture of a beautiful woman under the moon drawn by Jiang Lu and a precious glazed silk hairpin.
The painting is affectionately attached with a poem, to the effect that I want to see her bring the crystal clear hairpin and cut the candle in the west window with her.
Really...... In modern times, it's a perfect act of flirting with girls.
Sun Zhiyanzai carefully collected the letter sent back by Jiang Lu, spread out the rice paper and replied to Jiang Lu, the style was as concise as ever, only five words-
cough, the concubine is very relieved.
"Go to the storehouse and get some freshly made jerky, and then find someone who can send the letter and jerky to the post station, and follow the path of the army." Sun Zhiyan commanded while lightly sealing the envelope.
Life at the border is hard, and she has thought of many ways to help improve Jiang Lu's living standards in the army, so as to avoid that when she sees Jiang Lu again, he will come back as thin as a bamboo pole like the time he went on the expedition before marriage.
"No."
As soon as the palace man who was waiting for him took the letter and went out, the big eunuch in charge of the outer courtyard broke in sweating, he knelt on the ground, and his bloodless face turned blue: "Princess, someone came to the border gate, saying that it was ...... It is said that there was a spy in the army, and when the horse master led his men and horses to pursue the rebels, he encountered the enemy army, and the whole army was annihilated......"
Annihilated...... Sun Zhiyan felt as if she could hear every word clearly, but she didn't seem to hear anything clearly, and in a whirlwind, only the four words of the whole army were constantly echoing and echoing in her mind.
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
β¦β¦
The palace people were already panicked, Sun Zhiyan fell backwards without half a sign, which made them lose their backbone, fortunately, there was also an experienced eunuch and Aunt Lan, and the two of them controlled the situation one by one, and sent someone to invite the imperial doctor who was stationed in the princess's mansion, and one went to the Qi State Mansion without saying a word to ask someone who could be in charge.
When the Duchess of Qi and Mrs. Jiang came over, although the palace people were still a little frightened, they had already acted in an orderly manner. Whoever sees it must praise it, and it is not a loss, it is from the palace.
"This ...... Doctor, is the princess okay? Although the Duchess of Qi Guo did not faint, her heart was not much better, after all, she was her cousin who watched her grow up, and it was impossible not to be sad.
However, as soon as the Duke of Qi Guo received the news, he entered the palace, Mrs. Jiang was a careless person, and in the blink of an eye, she became the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the Duke of Qi. The eldest princess didn't dare to reveal the news before she heard that Sun Zhiyan had fallen on the princess's side of the princess's mansion.
At home, follow the father, marry the husband. Even if Princess Ning'an's identity is different from that of ordinary noblewomen, she must not be able to escape from taking her husband as the sky, if it collapses today, the Duchess of Qi Guo will not dare to say that Princess Ning'an is just a temporary acceptance and can't faint.
If something happened to Princess Ning'an's body, the royal family should hold the Duke of Qi accountable.
"Madam, it's been three months." The imperial doctor also knew that the situation was not as usual, and he didn't dare to say half a word of congratulations, and there was no joy or sadness on his face, for fear that if his expression was wrong, he would get into trouble.
"Joy?" For a while, the Duchess of Qi didn't know whether she was happy or sad. Jiang Lu went, but he left a blood in the world...... She looked at Sun Zhiyan's stomach with a complicated expression, and it took a long time for someone to give the imperial doctor a reward, and then called someone to report the news to the palace.
Sun Zhiyan was dizzy and unstable, the dream was full of bad scenes, and after waking up, she heard the murmur of the Duchess of Qi Guo, struggled to sit up from the bed, and repeated: "Happy pulse? What is the joy of the pulse? β
"Brother and sister awake?" The Duchess of Qi was shocked when she saw Sun Zhiyan's ups and downs, and hurriedly supported her, and saw that she was sitting steadily, so she explained: "You have a body, three months, it must be ......" The second brother was pregnant shortly before the expedition.
The Duchess of Qi paused suddenly, and couldn't bear to continue.
Jiang Lu died on the battlefield, the body was unrecognizable, Sun Zhiyan's pregnancy may be God's last mercy on Jiang Lu in the eyes of others, but for Sun Zhiyan's child in the womb, it is even more painful.
Sun Zhiyan touched her stomach when she heard this, and a strong sense of unreality rose in her heart. It was as if Jiang Lu's death and her pregnancy were all dreams, and when she woke up, she was still the same as beforeβshe was still waiting for Jiang Lu to come back, and she only replied a few strokes like a prank when a letter came from her family.
Duchess Qi Guo saw Sun Zhiyan's empty face, and her heart was even more worried, but she didn't know how to relieve her, so she said dryly: "My brother and sister mourn, and my second brother must not want to see my brother and sister so sad." β
The empty mind was pulled back all of a sudden, and Sun Zhiyan slowly looked at the Duchess of Qi Guo as if she had been slowed down, and asked word by word, "Jiang Lu really went?" β
Duchess Qi avoided Sun Zhiyan's gaze, her hands were hidden in her sleeves and clasped vigorously, her fingertips were white, and her voice was extremely soft, as if this would make Sun Zhiyan less sad: "Really." β
ββ¦β¦ He, how did he go? Sun Zhiyan asked, tears suddenly filled her eyes, and they kept rolling down like pearls with short threads.
It turned out to be true, Jiang Lu died.
"The prince colluded with foreign tribes to help foreign soldiers blend into our army, and then the matter was revealed, and the horse led the troops to pursue, encountered an ambush, and the whole army was annihilated." It was Prince Shun and his wife who arrived in a hurry, Sun Mingze's face was full of grief, and he didn't care about the difference between men and women, so he leaned over and hugged Sun Zhiyan, who was crying.
He didn't say that this ambush was also a collusion between the prince and foreign clans. The revenge of killing his husband is his own for his sister, if he can, Sun Mingze hopes that Sun Zhiyan can live happily for the rest of her life.
Sun Mingze didn't say it explicitly, but Sun Zhiyan guessed a rough idea: "It's the prince who did it, right, he wants to kill us all regardless of the love of his brother and sister?" β
She knew that taking the heir since ancient times could make people ruthless, but she didn't know that the Yan Dynasty was also so ruthless, and she didn't know that the prince could be ruthless enough to shoot at everyone, even she wouldn't let go!
He Yuran knew what her husband meant, and when she saw this, she immediately stepped forward to hold Sun Zhiyan's hand and comforted: "Sister, don't think too much, now it's the top priority to raise a fetus with peace of mind." β
"You just say, yes and no!" Sun Zhiyan had always been calm, but now, she chirped sharply like a young beast that had encroached on her territory.
ββ¦β¦ Be. Sun Mingze even had a heart of steel, and he couldn't bear to hide it anymore, so he sighed and admitted.
The strength in her body was drained, and Sun Zhiyan fell softly into Sun Mingze's arms, with extreme hatred bursting out from her eyes.
How sad she is about Jiang Lu's death, how much she hates the prince now. staring blankly at the top of the tent, he said calmly: "Let's not let the crown prince ascend to the throne, okay?" β
A kind of Tianliang Wang Po's tone revealed endless sadness. What has been lost can't be returned, even if it is made up from the prince, it is no longer the same as before, but ...... How can she be willing not to let the prince pay the price?
"Okay." Sun Mingze's face did not change, and the big rebellion that Sun Zhiyan said seemed to be the same as today's request for wanting to eat orange candy and not eating dates.
Sun Zhiyan closed her eyes, her mind was full of memories of her and Jiang Lu over the years, scene after scene, all the previous anger turned into sweetness, and all the happiness was so beautiful that she couldn't stop crying.
In the past, she was reluctant to have children, but now she is extremely glad that her soft-heartedness one day allowed her to give birth to a crystallization of her and Jiang Lu.
She always thought that she and Jiang Lu were just living together, and it was enough to have a liking. Today she learned that she was actually in love with Jiang Lu, and she was so loving that she took out her heart and put it on Jiang Lu.
She understood too late, too late for her to get her heart back, so that she ...... The heart is like ashes. 166 Reading Network
