The first time I saw Sleep Frost was at the temple fair in the first month of Yan Kingdom. She was picking out a few candy figurines at a stall, and when I passed by her, she turned around and grabbed my hand.

I asked her if she was okay.

She looked at me for a long time, her eyes turned a thousand times, and finally lowered her eyes gloomily, and her tone was lost, "It's me who recognized the wrong person." ”

I laughed and said it didn't matter.

She handed a candy man and asked me if I would like to hear her tell a story.

I nodded in agreement.

She said, "I want to tell you the story of Han Cicada and Xiao Jin. ”

I said okay.

"You don't know who they are?"

Naturally, I know that Xiao Jin is the current emperor, and Han Chan is the deceased queen.

"Then why aren't you strange not to ask me something?"

"It's just a story, there's nothing to ask."

Sleep Frost smiled, so good.

She took me to a restaurant and poured me tea.

"The first time Xiao Jin met the chilling cicada was on the day of the Wanhua Lantern Festival in Yan Kingdom."

The sound of the sleeping cream is very good, with the crispness and immaturity peculiar to a girl, and the tea flows into my teacup with her movements, and the mist spreads, and it suddenly becomes a little dreamlike.

The first time Xiao Jin saw the cicada was at the annual Wanhua Lantern Festival in Yan Kingdom.

At that time, the cicada man disguised himself and put a mask painted with flowers on a white background on his hand, she said, "On the day of the Ten Thousand Lantern Festival, everyone has to wear a mask, and you should not be an exception, you can't break the rules." ”

She said, "I know who you are, Guojun Xiao Jin, what a good name, the first time I heard it, I liked it very much." ”

He pulled the mask to his face and asked her, "Who are you?" ”

Who are you. This was the first sentence that Xiao Jin said to Han Cicada.

"His voice is so good, I don't know what to answer as soon as I open my mouth." Many years later, when she talked about it to others, she still smiled, "Then I still said it, I said, 'Xiao Jin, my name is Han Cicada, the cold cicada who is silent, I like you very much.'" ’”

"Oh? So what? ”

Regarding the confession of the woman in front of him, Xiao Jin was not too surprised, and his tone was gentle, not salty or light.

"I like you, so I'm going to marry you, Xiao Jin, are you willing to marry me?"

"I don't want to."

He refused without hesitation.

She was not in a hurry, and continued, "There is a great cold in the north, the epidemic is rampant, the border passes in the west are attacked, the territory is shaken, and the people are panicked. Xiao Jin, I know what you're worried about, but if you bring me back to the palace, I can solve these things for you. ”

She looked into his eyes and said word by word, "Xiao Jin, let me ask you again, would you like to?" ”

The young emperor was silent.

So the next day, the emperor's decree came down.

As everyone knows, the monarch named a woman as the national teacher of Yan State, and personally gave her Yuelan face protection and sealed the country.

This woman has no name and no surname, the word is cold, and she is known as the national teacher Yuelan.

There is a patriarchal custom among the people of Yan Guoguo, and there have never been many female officials, and there are even fewer people who have been named the top grade like Han Cicada, so it is understandable that the ministers criticized it. The content is nothing more than to exhort the emperor to cherish the real talent, not to be confused by the slanderous words of traitors, so as to move the foundation of the country.

When the cicada heard this, he couldn't stop laughing. She thought that although she had indeed threatened the emperor, it was still far from enough to rely on her ability to shake the foundation of the strong country of Yan.

But Xiao Jin didn't think so, not long after he took office, the opinions of the ministers had a great impact on him. So the emperor's decree in the middle of the night directly summoned Han Chan from the National Teacher's Mansion outside the palace and told Han Chan that she should do something to block the mouths of Youyou.

The cold cicada was sleepy-eyed, and after groping through his sleeve, a piece of paper fell leisurely on Xiao Jin's desk, "This is a prescription for the treatment of the Northland epidemic, Your Majesty has studied it for a long time, and it should have some effect." ”

Find someone to try, and it really works.

Xiao Jin has only been the emperor for three years, but the Yan State from the hundreds of officials to the people call him Shengming. The so-called sacredness is to distinguish between right and wrong, and to reward and punish in moderation. So after Han Cicada did a meritorious deed, the emperor decided to reward it.

"What do you want?"

"Then just find a place to live in the palace for your subordinates, and run back and forth between the National Teacher's Mansion and the palace all day long, and your subordinates are weak and can't afford it."

“……”

The attendants in the palace were extremely efficient, and the next day they brought Han Cicada and all her belongings to the palace.

The name of the palace is Shuiyue Xuan.

She originally told Xiao Jin that the house didn't have to be in place, but now she really gave her one casually.

Not to mention the remoteness, the palace still looks very old, the things in the national teacher's mansion are placed on it to appear a little more eye-catching, there is a lake behind the palace, the lake is green and shiny, but it is good-looking.

It's just that under the backdrop of such an atmosphere, such a lake will inevitably have a bit of a bleak taste, and Han Cicada feels that even if she sees a water demon jumping out of the lake with her own eyes that day, she doesn't have to be surprised.

But it turned out that the cicada did think too much, and when she went to see it the next day, there was no water demon crawling out of the lake, only a young girl sitting by the lake and treading water, looking at the scene of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl noticed the sound, looked in the direction of the cicada, tilted her head and looked at it for a long time before asking, "Are you a national teacher?" ”

The cicada nodded.

The girl was stunned for a moment, stared at the cicada for a while, and then smiled slightly...... And he began to burst into tears.

The chilling cicada was stunned.

Just as she was thinking about whether today's makeup was not painted well or the hair accessories were too messy to scare the girl, the person in front of her spoke again.

She said, "Master Guoshi, I was bullied. ”

Han Cicada didn't dare to say that she was a good person, but such a flower-like girl in front of her cried to her, she felt that no matter what the reason, she should say something, so Han Cicada was indignant, "That person is a bastard!" ”

"Would you like to help me?"

"How can I help ......?"

An hour later, the entire National Teacher's Mansion was plastered with notes of all sizes, the contents of which were nothing more than "Xiao Ling bastard", "Xiao Ling kills a thousand knives", "Xiao Ling no man wants "Yunyun......

The maiden told her, "The man who bullied me has a very bad temper and a very ruthless means, and when he sees these notes, he will come to the house tomorrow, and then the adults will preemptively strike him and beat him to the ground." ”

The chilling cicada nodded yes.

In the early morning of the second day, someone did come to the door, the man was dressed in white and black-haired, wearing jasper on his waist, holding a folding fan, and his eyebrows were vaguely similar to Xiao Jin.

The skin is good-looking.

Han Cicada commented silently in his heart.

"Straight sissy thief!! Who is here to post and scold Lao Tzu, it's just his grandmother's impatience! ”

It's a pity that the temper is not very good.

Han Cicada remembered what the girl had said to her yesterday, so she walked up to Xiao Ling with a steady walk and gave him a kick very calmly.

"Bang!"

Xiao Ling fell to the ground.

Han Cicada was slightly taken aback, she thought that although she used the force of this kick, she still wouldn't be able to throw a big man to the ground, but Xiao Ling was kicked down so effortlessly......

It's so weak.

At this time, her maid Ling Ting was looking for the sound and walked out, and when she saw Xiao Ling, she knelt straight down, and then shouted crisply, "Third Highness!" ”

The chilling cicada is stupid.

Xiao Ling, the third prince of Yan Kingdom, is the half-brother of the current emperor, with a noble position, but he is idle all day long, ignores political affairs, and his daily hobby is to argue with the nine princesses, and when it is serious, he will intersect with his fists and feet.

Han Cicada remembered the girl who was crying and laughing yesterday, and she was already able to know who the ninth princess was.

And their dispute this time was over a piece of glutinous rice cake in the imperial dining room.

"I really don't want to deal with people who don't have brains." The ninth princess squinted at Xiao Ling.

"Do you know what it means to respect your brother, you damn girl! Do you talk like that? Xiao Ling was furious.

Han Cicada thought that she couldn't afford to provoke the two people here, no matter which one she had, so they quarreled in her National Teacher's Mansion, and she couldn't get any benefit, so she quickly changed the topic, "This must be the Ninth Princess, after chatting for so long, I don't know what the name of the Ninth Princess is." ”

"Sleep cream."

"Xiao Mianshuang, what a nice name."

"I don't have the surname Xiao." Mianshuang's tone changed, and her face changed, "I'm not from the Xiao family. ”

After she finished speaking, her chest rose and fell violently, as if she could not stand the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and got up and walked out.

Han Cicada's hand holding the cup tightened slightly, and she suddenly remembered that when she was idle, when the master chatted with her, she had mentioned the nine daughters of the first emperor. It is said that the emperor had met a woman among the people, fell in love with her, and wanted to marry her back to the palace, no one persuaded him, and the queen mother had no choice but to allow him, but when she did not expect to check her body, she found that the woman was already pregnant.

The emperor naturally knew in his heart who this child was, but those who were originally against it took advantage of the topic and claimed that the child in the woman's womb was not a royal dragon.

The gossip in the palace was terrible, and the woman finally committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake after giving birth to a child because she couldn't bear the criticism, and before she died, she only left a name for the princess, called Mianshuang.

And after the death of the biological mother, no one was willing to take care of the princess sincerely, even if the emperor intended to take care of it, he didn't dare to be too obvious.

So the Nine Princesses Sleep Cream is not favored.

This is also the reason why after the death of the first emperor, the other princesses had fiefs, but Mianshuang still lived in the palace.

Han Cicada once expressed her opinion on this matter, she thought that the person who forced the birth mother of the ninth princess to death was a bastard, and the emperor was especially a bastard, "Since you are an emperor, you should have the demeanor of an emperor, and you can't even protect your own woman, so how to keep the great rivers and mountains of Yan Kingdom!" ”

For her righteous indignation, the master only smiled, and said, "In fact, how can the real flesh and blood relatives be weakened because of these external reasons." In fact, the old emperor was very concerned about his daughter, and secretly gave her Jiulong before he died. ”

What is the Nine Dragons Pei, Han Cicada naturally knows, it is a symbol of the majesty of the emperors of the past dynasties, similar to Shang Fang's sword.

"Then Master, how do you know?"

"When the teacher has nothing to do, he secretly went to the palace to take a peek."

……

The room was very quiet, even Xiao Ling didn't speak, and Han Cicada sat on the stool in a daze for a while, and finally decided to chase out.

The sleeping cream child's temperament, after all, will not run far, and at this time he is sitting by the lake and is distracted, which is somewhat similar to the situation they met yesterday.

She gently walked behind Mianshuang, sat down with her, and said what the master had said to her again, "Whether you are the daughter of the former emperor or not, you naturally know in your heart, and the former emperor naturally knows." How can the real flesh and blood relationship fade because of those external reasons, what your father left you before his death is afraid that others can't ask for it. ”

Seeing that Mian Shuang didn't answer, Han Cicada took out a delicate step shake from his arms, "This is Xiao Ling asked me to send it to you, he said that this was made up by Mr. Rong himself, to congratulate you on your birthday next month." You see, your brother actually loves you very much. ”

Mr. Rong is a well-known craftsman in the capital, specializing in jewelry, and there has never been a repeat of the style, things from his hands have always been hard to find, Han Cicada has personally visited to ask for a hairpin, but in the end did not get his wish, Xiao Ling this time to find such a step shake, I am afraid it took a lot of thought.

Sleep Cream gently stroked the texture on the step, and finally smiled lightly, "Yes, it does hurt me." ”
