Extra: The Queen Mother
In the early summer morning of that year, with the rising sun, a colorful cloud gathered above the Xiling Palace, which was recognized as an auspicious omen by the great master, and fabled that the Xiling royal family would give birth to a beautiful and intelligent princess on this day in the following year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A few months later, the queen became pregnant, and the prophecy of the national teacher was confirmed, and the whole country began to have good expectations for the unborn princess.
Nine and a half months pregnant, the queen gave birth safely, and she was really a little princess.
After the great master repeatedly divined it, he named it with the character 'Sha'.
"Yunsha Yunsha, I am your eldest brother, call me brother...... Why can't you speak? Yunza, who is five years old as a little princess, loves to do nothing more than hold her sister's soft little hand and teach her to speak with a longing expression.
Finally, one day, the little princess learned to babble and call her brother.
After a while, I learned to staggered and laugh after him.
In a blink of an eye, when he reached the age of the fourteenth or fifteenth year of the error-free novel, he became a leader in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, horseback riding and hunting, knowing everything and being perfect, and covering the light of his brother!
The people of the whole country love this princess who symbolizes auspiciousness, but ignore him, the prince who will inherit the throne in the future.
He often heard his father sigh to his mother and say, "If Sasha is a man, where is that boy...... Hey, you must have confused men and women when you were pregnant with them. It's really eyeless. β
Father, Mother, it's really easy for you to lose my ......
Yunza, who was almost languishing after being hit, shrank in the corner, looking at his sister who was getting better and better. I often think that this girl is still cute when she was a child, what he says she believes, and worships him as the greatest hero in the world - but now she is better than him in everything, where does this make him the face of the eldest brother?
What's more, this girl also has the skin of a vice race fairy, which makes the scale in everyone's heart even more biased towards her.
It's a world of faces.
It's just that the blow is the blow, he still wants to protect his sister as always, and as for how long he wants to protect it, he never thinks about it. It's supposed to be a lifetime, right?
The princess of Xiling Kingdom does not marry outside. Only excellent horses will be selected to join the royal family.
In other words, he was destined to live in the shadow of his sister for the rest of his life.
This realization made Yun Za not very happy, he didn't want to wait to sit on the throne, and someone would poke his backbone behind his back and say that he was not as good as the eldest princess.
He even married a wife and had children. When his hair is gray, his children and grandchildren will laugh at him behind his back for not being half as good as their aunt.
Yunza scratched the back of his head in annoyance. The more I thought about it, the more desperate I became.
But it didn't take long. His despair turned to panic -
On her fifteenth birthday, Yunsha snuck out of the palace alone, carrying a heavy bow and arrow. Alone in the mountains hunting.
Her birthday is also the Queen's Good Friday, fifteen years ago the Queen Mother suffered so much in order to give birth to her, and today she wants to hunt a silver fox with her own ability - the Queen Mother wants a pure white fox fur scarf for several years, and has not found a suitable skin.
But the silver fox was rare, and she didn't find even a fox fur in the evening.
The father and queen mother should be anxious if they can't find her again.
Yun Sha weighed it, but put away the bow and arrow in her hand in disappointment, and planned to go out of the mountain.
But just as he was about to leave, a dazzling silver white flashed in front of him.
That little thing is agile and fast, and her body shape is very good, it is clear that she has been looking for the silver fox all day!
Yun Sha was overjoyed and hurriedly prepared arrows to chase after her.
The road in the mountains is rugged, fortunately, she has often been in and out of dangerous places since she was a child, but she does not feel tired at all, but the more she pursues the road under her feet, the more remote it is, and when she even released a few empty arrows and found nothing, and lost the trace of the silver fox, the sky was already dark, and she did not know where she was!
Yunsha, who couldn't find a way out after going around several times, decided to conserve her strength, barely spend one night in the mountains, and then find a way out of the mountain at dawn.
The roar of wild beasts echoed in the mountains, which made people shudder, no matter how heroic she was, she was still a little girl after all, and she had been in the dark barren mountains for only half an hour, and the cold sweat had soaked her summer clothes.
I knew that I shouldn't have chased the silver fox regardless of the hour.
I knew I should have brought a fire fold out.
She sighed and curled up under a large tree, her bow gripping tightly in her hands, nervously following the movements around her.
Suddenly, the sound of fallen leaves being trampled sounded, and they were approaching her in a hurry.
Yun Sha suddenly got up, bowed slightly to make a defensive posture, swept her eyes forward, and looked at the black shadow running towards her, vaguely like a person!
There is nothing to be afraid of people.
She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the man spotted her and shouted, "Run, there's a wolf behind you!" β
It was a man's voice.
Yun Sha didn't intend to pay attention to his words.
The man ran two steps and saw that she had not caught up, so he hurriedly turned his head and urged: "What you said is true, there must be a wolf chasing her!" β
"What's so strange about wolves in the mountains?" Yun Sha didn't care: "Have you run away from a wolf?" βγ
But this man was really funny, obviously so scared, but he stopped again to remind her.
"It's not always good to sit still if you can't run-" The other party heard that she was a girl's family, and even more protective, so he turned around and grabbed her arm, and pulled her to run together.
Yun Sha ran forward with him in a daze, feeling the unfamiliar warmth on her wrist, and forgot to break free for a while.
As she ran, she listened to his rapid breathing and her own chaotic heartbeat, and suddenly gave birth to an unprecedented sense of pleasure.
She didn't even know what was there to be happy about, she wasn't going crazy, was she?
They were chased by wolves.
He finally couldn't run, let go of her hand, hid her behind him, and said unevenly, "Girl, go away, I'll drag it-"
Yun Sha was like a world out of the world. He shook the bow and arrow in his hand and said, "Kill it." β
Her tone was light, and the man couldn't help but look back at her, but saw that the little girl in the night had put the arrow on the string, her blue eyes narrowed slightly, and as soon as she put it in her hand, the sound of breaking the wind suddenly rose, and then she heard a wail in her ear and knew that it was shot!
Shoot the arrow accurately!
The little girl made up another arrow, and the hungry wolf had no strength to struggle.
In the darkness of the night, she lifted her chin at him. Smiling triumphantly.
The two searched for a cave. He found a wooden branch and lit a fire, and watched her skillfully divide the wolf meat into pieces and roast them on the fire, and couldn't help asking, "The girl is the daughter of the hunter in the mountains?" β
Yun Sha looked up at him in amazement. Suddenly crashed into a pair of inky eyes.
She was shocked and forgot to explain who she was. Stammered, "You." You...... Not from Xiling? β
The other party smiled and said: "People from the Wind Country have come to travel to your country." β
"How did you get to this barren mountain?"
And she said such an authentic Xiling dialect, she didn't even notice that it was wrong before.
Mentioned here. The man touched the tip of his nose embarrassedly and said, "I came to the mountains to paint, and I was bent on finding a good scene, but I accidentally got lost." β
"Painting in the mountains?" Yun Sha subconsciously looked at the book basket he was carrying behind him.
The man removed the book basket from his shoulder, took out a rolled picture scroll from it, slowly unfolded it by the light of the fire, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have found this good scene, and it is finally worth the trip." β
Yun Sha's eyes fell on the picture scroll, only to see a picture of a mountain stream flowing water, the flowers and plants by the stream were lifelike, and the stream with light waves seemed to be really flowing slowly.
"Although the painting is good, but it almost died because of it, do you still think it is worth the trip?" It's a nerd, Yun Sha thought to herself.
The other party smiled noncommittally, and was about to put away the scroll, but heard her say: "You have a good drawing, why don't you give it to me?" β
Well drawn...... Are you going to send her?
The man couldn't help but laugh, feeling that this girl's logic was really capricious.
In the end, she is a princess of a country, and she has the temperament to never hesitate to think about what she wants, Yun Sha saw his expression, and hurriedly added: "I saved your life, as a thank you gift." β
It's still that straightforward.
"This thank-you gift is a little lighter, if the girl likes it, take it. The grace of saving lives should be repaid separately. β
Yun Sha's eyes widened and asked, "How do you want to repay?" β
Then it is up to the girl to ask if she has what she needs, or if she has not fulfilled her wish. As long as the girl speaks, she will help the girl to achieve it. β
What a big breath, Yun Sha looked at the gentle man with picturesque eyebrows in front of her in surprise.
But she is a princess of a country, she has always wanted something, why do you need him to help her achieve what she wants?
So she shook her head, but she felt that it was a pity to let go of such an opportunity in vain, and finally said, "I'll tell you when I think about it." β
He smiled and nodded.
The two sat opposite each other until late at night, looking at the summer stars on the dark blue sky outside the cave, chatting from Tiannan to Haibei, tirelessly.
After separating from the mountains the next day, it seemed that there was a fate, and they met by chance three times and twice.
Xiling Country is open, there is no need to avoid suspicion between men and women, and no one notices that the two are getting closer and closer, and even the two people in it don't know it.
Until one day, Yun Sha looked at the picture scroll hanging at the head of the bed, and finally thought that she did have an unfulfilled wish that she could mention to him.
"I want you to stay in Xiling and marry me." The daughter of the Yun family, her words and deeds have never known what euphemism is.
He was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Are you really willing to marry me? But think clearly. β
"Of course!"
She replied very simply, but he thought about it for a long time.
Before meeting her, he never thought about getting married, let alone marrying a foreign woman.
But if he met, he would like to marry her.
It's just that this road is obviously not too easy to walk, he looked at the undisguised prayer in front of him, pure and simple, just like the cleanest little girl in the stream he had ever painted, but suddenly hesitated.
He wasn't afraid, but she would.
Because I like it too much, I am even more reluctant to let her be in such a complex environment.
He wanted to refuse, but she rushed ahead and said: "I am the princess of Xiling Kingdom, my father will definitely agree, you don't have to worry about anything!" β
That's when he really knew who she was.
After the surprise, I could only laugh again.
The road was even more difficult than he had imagined.
He had no intention of provoking a conflict between her and the Xiling royal family. He did not tell her that she had a big family surnamed Jin in the Wind Country, and in that family, he was the future heir, and he could not accompany her to stay in Xiling, let alone marry her openly.
He only told her that he couldn't give up everything in the country of wind and had no intention of staying.
That was the first time Yun Sha knew that there was such a difficult thing in this world, and this feeling of disappointment was even more terrible than she expected.
And in the short time that followed, she experienced many terrible things one after another.
His father and queen mother passed away due to illness one after another. There has been unprecedented turmoil in the national situation.
After her brother succeeded to the throne. It took two full years to stabilize the situation, and in the past two years, she has grown a lot and gradually understood what she really wants.
She still decided to go to the Windy Country to find him.
Two years has not only made her think less about him. It's even getting stronger.
She didn't want anything. Just want to be with him.
She can't give up everything in the Windy Country. Then it's up to her to give up - Xiling has an eldest brother anyway, and she believes that he will always be a good monarch.
However, her idea was vigorously opposed by Yunza, and he told her many things about the Windy Country. Only then did she know that a man could marry many wives, and he told her that if he really liked her, he would not leave Xiling, and he had not been heard from for two years.
In fact, Yun Za had already known the identity of Jin Yuchu, and the matter that she had been cautious about two years ago was still placed in front of her.
Yunsha was shaken for a while, but after being shaken, she was even more unhesitating.
For the first time in his life, her brother blacked her face, and he even threatened that as long as she left Xiling, he would treat her as a sister, and the Yun family would not have such a daughter.
He yelled at her for being crazy.
She was indeed insane, and when she met in the mountains that night, she faintly felt that she was crazy.
She still left in the end, and even brought some negative emotions.
With the name "Ah Chu", she really found him.
They overcame all the difficulties, and in the end, she married into the Jin family as a scholar girl - only at that time she was full of joy that she thought she had found her imaginary destiny, but she did not know that she had stepped into a bottomless demon cave.
The sweet time passed very quickly, and she was still as clear as water under the protection of Ah Chu.
It all ended on the night she gave birth, when she gave birth to a baby boy with the same eyes as her.
She only had time to look at the child before she fell into a coma due to detachment.
When I woke up again, I was in the palace and replaced the original queen!
She knew Yin Ziyu, when she first arrived in the Wind Country, she had met him in front of King's Landing Lake - but she was clearly the wife of the Jin family, how could she become his queen!
She wanted to leave, but she couldn't escape.
People outside thought that she died in childbirth, both mother and child, and even Ah Chu thought so.
Soon after, she heard...... Ah Chu also fell ill and died.
She felt like she couldn't live.
But Yin Ziyu told her everything.
"I made a deal with Jin Yuming, and he gave you to me."
Devil's deal.
"But if he hadn't made this deal, he would have killed you like a prince."
Her prince did not die of illness.
"People who have no use value can't live, but your son still has the blood of the Xiling royal family in his body, and Jin Yuming will not discard this chess piece in vain."
Her son is still alive.
"So use Ah Yu's identity to live, take revenge, and wait for him to come back to reunite with your mother and son, so that there is hope for survival."
And she really lived.
She didn't expect to survive.
It's just that life is very difficult, she is blinded by excessive crying due to grief, suffers from angina, has a gloomy temperament, and no longer has the bright and heroic appearance of the past.
Yin Ziyu later spent countless efforts to get people to heal her eyes, but she didn't want to look at the world again.
Before he died, he did not open his eyes to look at him for the last time.
She felt that she had always hated him and hated him, but in the end she didn't know what to hate him, what to hate him.
It wasn't until the day he was buried in the imperial tomb that she could no longer speak, and she realized that she hated him for forcing her to live, so that she had no choice; But it's ...... He treated himself so well that she couldn't repay him.
In the long years that followed, she still missed Ah Chu as much as before, and occasionally touched the scene in the palace, and she would think of him.
Everything in the world has traces to follow, but feelings don't know where to start.
For example, Yin Ziyu treated her, what kind of mental journey she had, she couldn't imagine.
For example, she was like crazy at the beginning, regardless of wanting to be with Ah Chu, because she was a young lover, but she was caught in this kind of whirlpool, and after countless pains until today, she doesn't regret it at all.
This kind of stubbornness, in Ah Chu's mouth, is inflexible, but it should be the only thing in her body that has not been worn away by time for so many years.
Jiang Ying sighed with emotion when she heard this.
My mother-in-law often told her some of the past events, and the bits and pieces added together were already a legend with twists and turns.
"So thirsty, right? Little red date, go and bring your grandmother a glass ......of water," Jiang Ying said to her six-year-old daughter, who was sitting on a stool and playing with a mercury mirror.
The little red jujube was admiring her prosperous beauty in the mirror, but she heard her mother call herself, so she could only put away her beloved little mirror.
When she was one year old, she was recognized as a goddaughter by the Queen Mother, and she was really glad that her father and mother made this decision - because she often found in the mirror that the older she looked, the more she looked like the Queen Mother, which was a miraculous thing!
The little girl was silly amused, but as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, she saw a man with a very tall beard striding outside.
With a wave of his long arm, he lifted her up in the air, and kissed her on the cheek, and his beard made her itch to hide, but he laughed.
"When did my brother come overβ" The Queen Mother got up from her chair with a smile in her eyes.
A few years ago, their brother and sister were angry again, because she didn't promise him to return to live in Xiling, he shook his face, and didn't even come to congratulate his nephew on his wedding.
But this time the gambling did not last long, or with the previous events, they knew how to cherish their relatives around them more, and they were reluctant to waste their good time on gambling.
The brother, who had always been as stubborn as her, agreed with her and no longer forced her to return to Xiling.
"This year is your natal year, and in a few days it will be your birthday, and I, as an elder brother, can't come to accompany you, is it reasonable?"
The Queen Mother sighed and said with a smile: "When did I deal with you about this, it wasn't when I was a child......
"Uncle lied." Little Red Jujube suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Tell me, where did my uncle lie? The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
"Every year on my grandmother's birthday, my mother would cook the dishes herself, and my uncle would burp every year when he came over...... I obviously came here because I wanted something delicious. β
"The ghost is clever and nonsense...... Hahaha......" Yun Za smiled and blushed.
The Queen Mother looked at this scene, a smile appeared in her eyes, but her gaze gradually became distant.
This is probably the reason why she never regrets it - because in the end, compared to pain, there are still beautiful and precious things that remain intact, and time cannot take them away, and pain cannot be washed away.
It's like the hard-won family happiness right now.
It's like the ignorance of the first meeting with Ah Chu in the mountains when he was fifteen years old, and the starry night sky overhead.
Those things are new with each passing day, and even if they are flooded through countless years, they cannot be shaken.
It's worth it, it's worth it...... (To be continued.) )
