He could not stay in Beijing for a long time, because the emperor did not agree. The spring silkworms are all cocooned, and the more than 100 looms in Nanyuan can't be left untouched in vain, and the rice will be harvested after a while, and the capital is still waiting for him to raise food. The imperial court also sent officials to the south of the Yangtze River to undertake it in the past, but the result was not used at all, and those ordinary people only bought the account of the king of Nanyuan, so it was not possible to do without him in the south.

The emperor's words hit the nail on the head: "Yuwen's family is an iron hat, hereditary for more than 200 years, and the common people recognize their faces." Since he is in power, he has to seek his own government, although this prince can't run, but the black gauze hat is not a must. The Yuwen clan is capable of producing many people, and the old prince has so many sons, he can do any of them. If you refuse to return to office for a long time, then don't hinder the promotion of other brothers, and it is not impossible for the court to appoint someone to replace you. ”

In the end, the style of painting changed, and it became a trade-off between his wife and his official position. Don't say that the emperor is confused, he will exert pressure, know how to play psychological warfare, and be shrewd, no one is his opponent.

Wanwan was reluctant to be good, but she couldn't help it, she knew how important status was to a man. Let him give up such a big fief as Nanyuan, and be wronged to be her concubine, not to mention what he thinks in his heart, even he feels sorry for him.

She didn't want to embarrass him, so she could only urge him to go back, "I don't care, you have seen it, this mansion is well built, the place is big, the scenery is good, I am surrounded by caring people, you don't have to worry." You go back to Nanyuan, we will always meet one day, can the emperor tell us to reconcile? I'm just a little sad and don't know when you'll be able to come back. Skip it for a while, I'll go to the emperor, and when the child is about to land, let him allow you to go to Beijing, take a good look at the child, and wait for me to be confined. ”

After he listened, a smile appeared on his face, "When the time comes, I will also be disrespected, if the emperor is reasonable, he will not let us reunite at this moment." It's really hard to get the job, I don't want that title. He shook her hand hard, "Wanwan, before you give birth, we have to make a decision about our affairs after all." You must wait for me, and I will let you return to me at any cost. ”

She threw her arms around his waist and choked up beyond words. She doesn't know if there is a limit to enthusiasm, she only knows that she and him have only been in love for three or four months, and it is the first time to taste sweetness, like glue. Such a hard Zheng Zheng ripped off the connection, and maybe even her mother who taught her to hang red silk on the flower tree didn't expect that it was Gao Gong who hindered her marriage in the end. Why is it too anxious to fry each other, the fratricide of the emperor's family is not only between brothers, but also between brothers and sisters.

I can't give up, I want to separate, and my heart is like a delay. Her hands slowly slid down his shoulders, and she caringly straightened the hem of his garment and his belt. Seeing the gourd work hanging between the seven things, he stroked and stroked the bat pattern, "I don't do a good enough needlework, and I have never embroidered a purse for you." Next time, see you next time, I'll give you a set. ”

He said, "But you don't need one set, just one is done." Don't hurt your eyes, and getting plenty of rest is more important than giving me anything. ”

He still left, and she didn't care about the princess's dignity, and sent it all the way to the gate. Watching him whip away, standing in the autumn wind with tears streaming down his face. Later, I chatted with Tonghuan and them, and also said that I owed a debt of tears, and the number of times I cried this year could not be worth the sum of the past fifteen years.

In fact, women are very weak, no matter how high their status is, they need to rely on them psychologically. When the good time is not there, she feels that she is not sound, and sometimes the female relatives of the clan come to visit her, and she hears people talk about her husband and children, and she is secretly very envious. If you meet someone who is not interesting, ask her why she doesn't go back to Nanyuan, in order to cover up, she can only say that she is willing to give birth in Beijing.

"Jiangnan is damp, I don't feel comfortable there, and I always have a rash on my arm. Now that I am pregnant, and I can't take medicine indiscriminately, the emperor took pity on me and asked me to go back to Beijing to raise the fetus, and when the child fell to the ground, it would not be too late to return to Nanyuan. ”

She said this with embarrassment on her face. She didn't like to lie since she was a child, she opened her eyes and told nonsense, and before others followed her words, she blushed first.

"Actually, they all know, when I say this, they laugh at me behind my back." She complained to Yu Qiyao, "Why should I put gold on my face, obviously I am imprisoned, and I still want to whitewash the peace." ”

Yu Qiyao said: "You are a wise man, and you know that complaining will not solve any problems. What you can do now is to endure the humiliation with the prince. There are many miserable princesses and concubines throughout the ages, and the situation of the two of you is not bad at the moment, as long as you can hold on, you will be able to see the light of day one day. ”

She nodded, "I know the story of Princess Ningguo, the elder brother usurped the throne, and the concubine Mei Yin was loyal to the former lord. The new monarch forced the princess to write a blood letter to summon the horse into the court, and the horse got the book and wept, and was plotted against the bridge and was squeezed into the water and drowned...... This is the life of another princess and a colt, and I don't seem to have any more resentment than them. ”

As long as you look away, the anger will be smooth. People at the pinnacle of power want a happy marriage, which is not an easy task in itself. Ordinary families are still fighting for a little family wealth, and the emperor's family is often at stake, compared to the temporary separation of husband and wife, what is it!

Wanwan's body is getting heavier day by day, she lives in the mansion, and what kind of moth is there on the emperor's side, she just asks.

For example, when he was a concubine, she looked normal when she heard about it. After the end of the Great and Small Ryukyus Wars, Tan Jin led the naval army back to the court, and Xiao Duo's name was included in the recital table that presented the list of fallen officials. The emperor was silent for a long time, and sighed, "The factory minister was killed, and I was like a broken arm." Two days later, he canonized the wife of the meritorious man in order to give his widow the right honor. After everyone got the news, they just laughed and said that they were amorous, otherwise what would they do? And how?

"Daye national fortune, I don't know what the trend will be in the future. I tried to persuade him to be diligent several times, but I saw that he was very impatient, and I thought he was tired of listening to it. Contrary to my words, I will be hated if I say too much, and in the end it will all be calculated on me, will I not lift a stone and drop it on my own feet! She sat in front of the window to be a female celebrity, the purse sachet in good times, and the blanket that they loved to use, every stitch and thread, all lovesick. After a long time, the sun slowly deflected and shone on her hand, and the golden glow was dazzling. She moved away slightly, the brass ring told her to rest, and she answered it in her mouth, and changed the flower bandage into a child's small clothes.

Carefully calculate the time of conception, around the Dragon Boat Festival, and the delivery should be in February of the following year. In February, she had to make a jacket, she did it very carefully, embroidered flowers on the corners of the clothes, whether it was a girl or a boy, she was very loved.

Xiao You said that His Royal Highness seemed to have changed as a person, and it was different from before. Wanwan stopped thinking about it, and still remembered that when she was in Yude Palace, she sang a big drama behind closed doors in the afternoon, singing with selflessness, as if she was the only one in the world. It's good not to worry, she sighed, "I'm out of line, now in addition to doing needlework is crying, do you want to see me cry?" ”

So let's do needlework, she has a box, and all the gadgets she prepared for Liangshi are in the box. The purse was made one after another, neatly stacked, but it was too indulgent and took on eyes, and it was really not good for the child to always nest, and when the weather was clear, she also loved to go around the house.

This mansion is very large, and there are some places where she hasn't been much, and there is a lack of a man at home to support her, so she always feels a little barren. Fortunately, there are many people doing things, and there are corresponding people to supervise each errand, so in addition to the loneliness in her heart, this eldest princess's mansion still looks like it is still scorching.

She walked around, and when she walked out of the second gate, it was another world. Yin'an Hall is the face of every palace, it is different from the exquisite back house, and must be built with a solemn atmosphere. On the mansion regulated by the palace, there is a special set of equipment, just like her etiquette and the three divisions, and there are Luan Yi in and out. The flowers inside the second gate are splendid, and the outside of the second gate is a strong iron bone. There is a listening room in the palace when the military is in the house, and when she passes, the people who stand on the shift are far away to her, and she bows her head slightly and walks away. Sometimes I meet Jin Shi, this brocade guard Qianhu has an unsmiling face, and every time I see her, I ask directly: "Is Your Highness going out?" Wanwan didn't give a good face, and said coldly: "I will send someone to inform you when I go out, and Lord Jin doesn't have to worry about me running away." ”

But this day, when he came up, the content of his speech was different from the previous one, he said: "Your Highness should go out for a walk, the maple leaves in Xiangshan are red, if Your Highness is willing, the minister will immediately gather people to escort His Highness to see the scenery." ”

Probably everyone thinks that she is not normal now, and even the person in charge of guarding her has pitied her. Wanwan smiled mockingly, "Aren't Qianhu afraid that the emperor will know the blame?" ”

Jin Shi avoided her gaze and lowered his head and said: "The emperor ordered his ministers and others to protect His Highness, as long as His Highness is safe, the emperor will not blame." ”

The red leaves of Xiangshan must be very beautiful, but unfortunately she is not around at a good time, even if the mountains are romantic, it doesn't mean much to her. She shook her head and said next time, pause and think about it, next time it will probably wait for next year, how can it be that you will still be in Beijing next autumn, you must have gone back to Nanyuan.

Tonghuan also approved of her going out for a walk, "Is Your Highness afraid of bumps?" From the city to Xiangshan, although it is a little farther, it is not difficult to walk. The slave turned around and made the mat thicker, let's take it slowly, it won't be a big problem. ”

She thought about it, and was a little shaken, and said with a smile, "Follow the light car, and come back after a look...... I'm always stuffy in the house, and my heart is about to mold. ”

From the princess's mansion to Xiangshan, there are about fifty miles, and if you go back and forth on the same day, you may not be in time. She said that the light car was simple, and in the end she couldn't get it simple, and Hu Cong was no less, but she changed the official clothes of Jinyiwei into ordinary civilian clothes, so as not to attract attention.

Wanwan didn't know if anyone had reported her whereabouts to the Imperial Palace, so she didn't bother to leave Beijing anyway. She brought a copper ring Xiaoyou, and two grandmothers, people got out of that environment, no longer feel depressed, only to find that the autumn outside is crisp, and suddenly it is October.

The carriage walked very slowly, Jin Shi was afraid that the people below would not be careful, so he came to drive in person, and he was very cautious along the way, and Wanwan also had a change in her opinion of those brocade guards. In the past, I often heard that Jin Yiwei casually arrested people and sentenced them, and I thought that these gang of killers were all bloodless, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. At least she is not responsible for the prison, and there should not be so many life lawsuits in her hands.

Fifty miles of road, slow travel takes more than half a day. When the carriage drove up the hillside, it was the time of the sunset, and the maple leaves on the mountain were reflected in the angry clouds like fire. She sat in the car and looked out, and there was a magnificent shock in her heart, as well as an indescribable depression and desolation. After the season, those leaves slowly withered, fell into the dirt, and crumbled** until they turned into dust. People are like this, not long after their heyday, they are floating away in a blink of an eye, and they are not as good as these maple leaves.

She still couldn't raise her interest, and when she leaned against the window and looked at the two pillars of incense, the blood on her slightly pale face was always not good. At first, there was a light of joy in his eyes, but it was quickly extinguished, and he was lonely and lonely.

Jin Shi looked at her expression, and he shouldn't say words of comfort, so he arched his hand and said: "The minister has already sent someone to inform Jingyi Garden in advance, if Your Highness is tired, go to the garden to rest." ”

Jingyi Garden is a royal garden, and the emperors and concubines of previous dynasties will occasionally come to stay, but when he arrives at the second brother, his whole world is encircled in Xihaizi, and he can travel the world without leaving home.

Wanwan bowed her head, turned her head and said: "This trip to Xiangshan, thousands of households are very well prepared. Let me guess, in fact, every qiē is ordered by the emperor, right? ”

Jin Shi was silent, and finally nodded, relying on his small brocade clothes to guard Qianhu, he didn't have the courage to let the eldest princess go on a trip. No matter how ridiculous the emperor is, after all, he still loves this sister, putting aside the major affairs of the court and politics, the relationship between brothers and sisters has never been on the line. One of his imperial orders made his sister fall behind, and he could only do his best to make her happy, and go out of the house to see the scenery, which was the only good thing that the head stuffed with Taoism could come up with.

Wanwan can't tell what she feels in her heart, and her feelings for this brother are indescribable. Resents him, of course, but a mother's compatriot, growing up together, no matter how much he hates, where can he hate!

If you come, you will be safe, after seeing the maple leaves, you will enter the garden to settle down first. Originally, I still wanted to go to Xiangshan Temple to enter the incense, but when I saw that the time was not early, it was better to fight for the first pillar tomorrow.

She lived in Xinzhai and had been to her father before, so she was very familiar with this Jiangnan garden-style courtyard. Because I went to Jinling once, and now when I come here again, I see this green tile and white wall, and I have another taste in my heart. Xiao You and Tong Huan were tidying up in the house, and she stood in front of the door for a while, her heart empty, and walked slowly along the verandah. Not far in front of the Glasses Lake, she remembered the pond of koi, she used to follow her two brothers to fish together, that hand crab fishing ability, or the child skills laid at that time.

Named after its shape, more than 10 years have passed, and although the garden is declining, a revisit to the old place can still evoke memories of the past. She stood on the platform and looked down, there were many fewer koi in the water, thin and small, only a few sparse ones. The edge of the pool was overgrown with moss, and the past glory could not be seen, and there was a kind of panic in the twilight of empire. She had a thought in a trance, and for a moment felt that the number of rivers and mountains was really going to be exhausted, and her eyes looked blankly at the pool, and suddenly there was a big ripple at the bottom of the water, and a cloud of ink-like pond mud rolled up, startling the koi fish scattered. She was also a little panicked, took a step back, but her feet slipped and fell backwards suddenly.

I'm afraid this fall is going to be bad, she panicked, and subconsciously wanted to hold on to something, but the railing was far away from her, and she couldn't hold on. I thought it would be impossible to escape, but I didn't expect someone behind her to hold a hand, she was so frightened that she cried when the world was spinning, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears, she was afraid to the extreme, it turned out to be like this.

The person above her head asked if it mattered, and her hands and feet trembled, and she felt like she was holding her stomach, and it seemed that there was nothing serious. Only then did I see that the person who caught her was the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Jinshi. She struggled to stand up, evened out her breath and said it didn't matter, there were still tears on her face, and she couldn't help herself when she thought about it at this moment.

Jin Shi saw that she restrained for a long time, and finally covered her face and howled. The figure in the sunset is pot-bellied, but so thin. It's a pity that all he can do is look at compassion and wait quietly.
