In the autumn of the twelfth year of Taichang, Princess Nanping's life came to an end. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, the Great Wei ship was heading to a seaside town, and after thinking about it, the king of Nanping decided to dock on the spot.

Most of the local people are blonde and blue-eyed, but they are not afraid when they see strangers, but they come forward to inquire hospitablely.

When the stranger's ship arrived, and the foreigners came ashore, the Grand Duke, who was in charge of the town, heard the news and learned that the wife of the captain of the captain was ill, and enthusiastically summoned a doctor to treat the princess of Nanping.

The result was naturally not very good, and Princess Nanping knew that her time was running out, and she didn't want to drink any more medicine. Moreover, she was skeptical of the quality of the treatment of the Gentiles, and was unwilling to drink the medicine they provided.

"So be it." Princess Nanping said to King Nanping: "This town has a good scenery, let me spend my last days here, is it okay?" ”

Of course, the king of Nanping agreed, and his wife's last hope, he could not disobey her.

Nanping Wang and the others stayed here for nearly a month.

Among them, Chang Ou and the Grand Duke's daughter Isowa came together.

Young people talk about love, and Princess Nanping also listens to it.

She was half-lying on the bed, listening to the sea breeze and said to King Nanping: "The younger brother of the ninth sister-in-law, when he set sail, he was not married, and I still thought that when we go back, he will still be a bachelor, but it is not good to explain to the ninth sister-in-law." Now that he has opened his mind, although he is a foreign girl, Isowa is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and he is quite bold in commanding, and the two have similar interests, but it is also a good marriage. ”

The king of Nanping was noncommittal, and peeled oranges for Princess Nanping on the side.

Even if the two of them are silent, the warm atmosphere between them has always been there.

Princess Nanping smiled at her husband's flexible hand to peel orange peels, and suddenly said: "Actually, if you are interested, you can also compete for that position at the beginning." ”

King Nanping let out a faint "um", tore open the orange petal and handed it to Princess Nanping's mouth.

Princess Nanping took it in her mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and said with a smile: "This orange is quite sweet." ”

"Eat more sweet." The king of Nanping continued to serve his wife, and told her about the next trip: "According to the duke, the place under his jurisdiction is small, and two months further north, it is their royal capital. They were religious, and the bishop's opinion could sway the king. I thought, let's not go north, this kind of belief is higher than the imperial power, people feel unsafe. ”

"Listen to you." Princess Nanping frowned: "When you go out, you can put it aside, only the word safety, you need to keep in mind." ”

The king of Nanping answered and talked about the interesting things in the voyage, and the princess of Nanping let out a laugh from time to time, and slowly fell asleep unconsciously.

The topic she raised just now passed quietly.

Changou and Isowa fell in love, and the young man's relationship progressed rapidly, but the Grand Duke was not angry about his daughter's attraction to foreigners. On the contrary, he actively matched the two, and did not even object to Isowa and Changou spending the night together.

Yes, they are far more open than the Great Wei people in their cognition of the relationship between men and women. Pregnancy out of wedlock is not shameful in their eyes. The fetus seemed to them a gift and a gift from God.

The Grand Duke has expressed on more than one occasion that he would like to see Isowa conceived with a child.

Young people are always out of proportion. Changou was very annoyed by the possession of Isowa, and solemnly stated that he would marry Isowa the next day.

He pleaded with the Nanping royal couple to be their witnesses.

The wedding in the town was warm and romantic, Princess Nanping leaned on the arms of King Nanping, and laughed softly: "Look at how energetic they are, I wanted us to get married, but we were tired enough, and even the round house waited for two days to rest." ”

King Nanping tugged the neckline around her neckline and chuckled: "The most embarrassing thing at that time was me, for fear that you would think I was useless." ”

"Hun said." Princess Nanping's face was slightly red, and the people in the town square had begun to sing and dance, with the bride and groom in the middle, surrounded by young children from the town, and adults gathered around them, each holding a flower made of paper in their hands, waving it on the top of their heads.

Princess Nanping's eyes were hot, she rubbed King Nanping's chest, and said softly: "I can marry you in this life, I am also worth it, the only regret is that I can't leave you a bone and blood ......"

"Blood and bones don't matter." King Nanping stroked the top of her head: "The descendants of the Liu family are prosperous, and they don't point to me to pass on the ancestry." ”

"Other people's flesh and blood, that's other people's." Princess Nanping said softly: "When I leave, you should marry another one and have a son of your own." ”

"Don't marry." King Nanping chuckled and said, "Your little bit of caution is still showing off in front of me." Can you feel good about this? ”

"Hmph......" Princess Nanping stretched out her hand and scratched his palm: "Count you as acquaintances." ”

Probably feeling cold, Princess Nanping shivered. King Nanping hugged her tighter.

Princess Nanping spends less and less time awake, and spends more time falling asleep every day than when she is awake. Everyone knew that she couldn't stay up for long, but looking at the look of King Nanping, she didn't see much sorrow. He didn't want Princess Nanping to remember his sad appearance.

On this day, the princess of Nanping woke up for a long time, and she was also very energetic, and she told the king of Nanping that she wanted to see the rose fields here.

The town has a large field of roses, which bloom for more than ten days in April every year. It is customary to celebrate weddings in April when the roses are in full bloom, and everyone celebrates with real roses in their hands and singing and dancing. So April is also known as the town's Rose Moon and Wedding Month.

Although there are no flowers now, and what I see when I go to the flower field are only some dead branches and leaves, the king of Nanping still fulfills his wife's wish and carries her to the edge of the flower field.

"It's a pity...... Princess Nanping sighed lightly: "It's not time for us to come here, we can't see the picture of roses blooming......"

King Nanping said softly: "Then we will stay until April next year, and wait for next year to see a large field of flowers." ”

"Okay." Princess Nanping was drowsy, and her eyelids kept drooping: "When the time comes, you ...... You fold the branches, fold the flowers, and give them to me......"

"Of course, if I don't give it to you, to whom?"

King Nanping's voice slowly choked up.

"Husband......" Princess Nanping murmured: "I feel, I feel that the whole person is so light, I, I seem to see roses blooming...... Amazing view in full bloom ......"

King Nanping subconsciously tightened her, but the next moment he quickly let go.

He knew that his wife was just a return to the light today, and she must be leaving him soon.

He was reluctant, but he couldn't bear to let her walk heavily.

King Nanping smiled and asked her softly, "Do you like roses so much?" ”

"Isova said, "The rose is, it is the flower of love...... Princess Nanping smiled, in her eyes, her husband's image was almost illusory: "Seeing it, it's like, like seeing, seeing you ......"

Princess Nanping smiled beautifully: "It's like seeing, you, love ......"

The corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned, but her eyes were closed, and the hand on her belly hung down slowly.

King Nanping's whole body was stunned, holding her blankly, motionless.

The guards waiting on the side couldn't bear to bow their heads, and asked Chang Commander: "Do you want to ...... Let the doctor take the pulse and see if the princess is ......"

The guard's voice paused, and Chang Ou sighed almost inaudibly: "No need, let the prince and princess stay alone for a while." Doctor...... The estimate came, and the results were obvious. ”

The guard replied in a deep voice.

The king of Nanping did not sit for a long time with the princess in his arms.

He called the guards and asked if the coffin specially made for the princess had been built, and after receiving a positive answer, the king of Nanping said: "Let people see the day and bury the princess." ”

Chang Ou asked softly: "Princess, will you bury the princess in this foreign country?" ”

"Hmm." King Nanping said: "We still have to continue sailing, I don't know when we will be able to return to Great Wei, it is impossible to keep her body all the time." Besides, why bother with her. ”

Chang Ou answered, and King Nanping suddenly said: "Just bury it here, I'll go talk to the Grand Duke." ”

The rose field is located in the Grand Duke's estate, and if you want to bury people here, you must consult with the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke did not hesitate, and learned that the princess liked roses, so the King of Nanping wanted to bury her next to the rose field, and the Grand Duke gladly agreed to the request of the King of Nanping.

The princess's burial went well, and the townspeople laid white paper flowers on the edge of her grave.

King Nanping stared at the princess's tombstone for a long time, and Chang Ou asked him what time it was.

They've been here for quite some time.

King Nanping said softly: "Let's do it tomorrow, there is nothing to delay here." ”

Chang Ou nodded, saw that King Nanping had no sadness or joy on his face, sighed lightly, and said, "The prince mourns." ”

"Hmm."

King Nanping nodded.

After that, they continued their voyage, and Isova married a chicken and followed Changou on the ship, and soon became pregnant and gave birth to a lovely son.

The king of Nanping is still doing what he has to do, but he doesn't seem to care about anything anymore.

In the past, he also gave people this feeling, but since the death of the princess, this feeling has become more and more intense.

Finally, in the seventeenth year of Taichang, they went around the land and finally returned to Great Wei.

After telling Emperor Taichang about what he saw and heard along the way, King Nanping nested in the palace and began to sort out the notes along the way, intending to form a manuscript for Emperor Taichang to consult.

All his energy was focused on this, and when his thinking was clear, he even worked tirelessly to review and copy the manuscript, hardly leaving the door of the palace, and even the routine court meeting he pushed down on the grounds that he wanted to compile a book.

The head of the palace saw that he seemed to be enchanted, and he was so anxious that he could only secretly inform King Rongjun, hoping that King Rongjun could persuade him.

Liu Tong's persuasion was ineffective, so he could only stab the current situation of King Nanping in front of Emperor Taichang.

Emperor Taichang personally left the palace and arrived at the Nanping Palace.

"Twelfth brother." Emperor Taichang looked at him, with some sadness in his eyes: "You are the pillar stone of Great Wei, Great Wei needs you, you can't continue like this." ”

The king of Nanping had a scruffy beard and a depressed expression, but he smiled when he heard the words: "I'm afraid that the imperial brother has never said such a thing to others, right?" Brother Huang said this. Even if the Great Wei Jiangshan does not have a younger brother, it will be under the wise governance of the imperial brother and become a prosperous era that future generations will be proud of. The younger brother is just stained with the light of the royal brother, and there is no difference between having a younger brother and not having a younger brother. ”

King Nanping didn't pay too much attention to etiquette in front of Emperor Taichang, he poured himself tea, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Brother Huang, the younger brother actually doesn't want to live anymore, so let the younger brother live by himself." ”

"Lord Wang!" The chief of the palace burst into tears, lowered his head and wiped his eyes and sobbed.

"My brother and sister won't want to see you like this." Emperor Taichang's eyes condensed slightly: "Except for your younger siblings, isn't there anything or people in this world that makes you nostalgic?" ”

King Nanping drank tea, as if he had drunk wine: "No, the younger brother was just staying up, but there are always some things that have to be completed, and you can't give up halfway......"

"Twelfth brother!"

"Fifth brother...... King Nanping suddenly looked at him fixedly: "Fifth brother, do you know, in fact, I once thought for a moment, if I also fight for the position of the king of a country, can I have a chance to defeat you and sit on the throne." ”

The head of the palace raised his throat suddenly.

"It's actually normal for men to have that kind of ambition occasionally, right?" King Nanping smiled faintly: "Fifth brother knows that I have this thought, will he be afraid of me?" ”

"No, it won't." Emperor Taichang said softly: "As you said, it is normal for men to have such ambitions occasionally. Ambition also means self-motivation, and you have it, but you will never put it into practice. ”

King Nanping laughed: "Fifth brother, this is the reason why I am willing to be subordinate to you." As an emperor, you are open-minded, confident and powerful enough. In the future, in the history books of future generations, you will be called 'the first emperor of the ages'. ”

Emperor Taichang had no joy on his face to be flattered.

"Twelfth brother, don't say these words again. You have to cheer up, up and down, you can't be missing. ”

"As soon as I have been close to ten years, Dawei has not had me, and the court is still operating from top to bottom, how can I say that I can't do without such words?" King Nanping closed his eyes slightly: "Fifth brother, let me finish the task of sorting out your navigation notes for you...... Don't bother me, I know what I'm doing. ”

Emperor Taichang could understand the pain of the loss of his wife by the king of Nanping, but he could not allow him to fall.

Emperor Taichang left the palace several times, and later the king of Nanping even closed the door to him.

Emperor Taichang, who had never used coercive means against those close to him, almost forced King Nanping to compromise in the form of coercion.

But in the end, it was Emperor Taichang who compromised.

He finally said to the king of Nanping: "You can ignore the affairs of the court, you can get by, but I will not allow you to despise your own life." If you seek death and life, I will kill all the people in your Nanping Palace, along with the twelve brothers and sisters and the three clans. Do you understand? ”

The king of Nanping agreed.

Later, after the king of Nanping completed the matter of sorting out and transcribing the notes, he left the capital and went to a grange of the princess of Nanping on the outskirts of Beijing.

In another few years, the Great Wei ship set sail again, and the king of Nanping wore a hat, got on the boat, and arrived at the town where the roses were blooming, and never returned to the Great Wei.

Hundreds of years later, it became a mecca for couples and couples.

Even with the rise of the city, there is still a large field of roses. In the center, surrounded by rose fields, is a cemetery.

The tombstone on the left bears the following phrase.

"My beloved, I have come back to you from thousands of miles away, just to accompany you to gaze at this field of roses forever. Forgive me for the once implicit words of love I can't speak, let the rose tell you, I love you, as you love me, until death. (To be continued.) )
