That night, Wuguo sat on the roof with his uncle, looking at the moon in the sky, smiling.

She sat next to the eldest uncle, looking at the plum tree she planted with her own hands in the Ranlin Palace, there was a wind blowing, and the peach charms on the plum trees collided, and there were some sounds of bamboo, wood and cypress.

Since the first birthday of the eldest uncle in Yingnan, nine years have passed, and the plum trees are full of thousands of peach charms, and there is only one sentence of "happy birthday".

Wuguo scooped up the wine next to him and smiled at the eldest uncle: "Today is my birthday banquet, so I want to bless it." ”

The eldest uncle ignored it, and looked at the courtyard with a cold gaze, as if there was nothing with a faint alienation, just like many years ago.

Just like the plum tree he has planted for many years, even if Mei Niang is good at taking care of her, it is always shorter than living in Beixue.

Wuguo suddenly understood at this time that even if her father planted a garden full of plum trees for her, it did not belong to Ying Nan after all.

She sniffed and continued with tears in her eyes: "I heard that your Beixue's Mei Niang's craftsmanship is very exquisite, so it's better to talk about it." ”

Chang Bo paused, twisted his eyebrows and struggled for a while before he spoke: "My mother concubine is a Mei Niang." ”

The eldest uncle's mother was originally the concubine of the family, and for the sake of the family's interests, she married the Northern Snow Emperor, who was not favored at the time.

The family is not treated by the main mother, and the palace is not liked by the wife, but fortunately, the good plum raised indirectly won the favor of the emperor.

One pregnancy and two sons have also been shown in the harem.

However, it is the most ruthless imperial family, the struggle for royal power, and the sacrifice is always the woman.

Wuguo quietly listened to him talk about his childhood, which was supposed to be a conversation tomorrow, but now he is stuck with the three words of his mother and concubine, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

She smiled and pointed to the Qihuang Palace, which was closest to the emperor's bedroom in the harem, and said: "My mother, the queen of Daying, my father loved her for ten years and imprisoned her for ten years, but I always felt that it was her fault. Uncle Bei, I'm a selfish and thin person, so forgive me, forgive me for not letting you go. ”

She looked at the eldest uncle with a smile, in fact, the story of her mother's generation, who was right and who was wrong, how could she judge.

Father-in-law Lin was the queen mother's attendant since childhood, but he also used her to force the entire Lin family to death.

Her father and emperor have greeted her with the gift of a wife since the day of her mother's concubine and concubine, but in the end, she was wiped out.

As for Empress Lin, she is even more pathetic, for the rest of her sixty years, the only person she didn't expect to accompany her was her father.

Of course, she also knows that who is more and who is wrong, and who has too much merit, is not something that her, an outsider, can judge.

Gonggong Lin was willing to expose the corpse in the wilderness in order not to worry his mother, and his father had been letting King Su grow stronger in order to punish himself for his sins.

The day Empress Lin was deposed, but it was the day when her father secretly let her out of the palace, and the locked Qihuang Palace was actually empty.

Pity her father who has been proud and indulgent all his life, but he has never dared to love someone openly.

Queen Lin is so innocent in it, she has always been a weak woman who has been innocently involved in it.

Just because he was loved by the two, he was trapped in it all his life, and his mother's family had no life to survive.

But she is the daughter of Emperor Wan Qianyang of Yingnan.

Her father has been very good to her since she was born, so even if she knows what happened back then, and knows that her father did a lot wrong, she will not say anything, and she will even think that her father loves her, and her mother should take it for granted.

Perhaps it was such a character that led to the indifference of the eldest uncle who was bullied many times, which led to her blocking him when he wanted to return to China.

She was an extremely selfish woman.

She was born here, her home is here, and for Ying Nan, her sense of belonging to this imperial city has been deeply ingrained in her heart for more than ten years.

The eldest uncle didn t say anything, Wuguo asked him to look at her, and he looked at it, his eyebrows and eyes were light, as if he looked at her when he was in Ranlin Hall and she didn't save him.

Wuguo turned his head, didn't look at the people around him, and said for a long time: "If you go back to Beixue one day, will you forget me?" ”

"Yes."

The voice was light without a hint of hesitation. Even though he had known the result for a long time, Wuguo was still sad in his heart.

She opened her mouth, dumbfounded.

In today's daytime, Cheng Yang came to him with a whip, and he also saw the scene of throwing people to the ground.

He said to him, "My little sister is in a bad mood today, you must accompany me on the roof." ”

At that time, she was in the inner room of the Ranlin Palace, watching the eldest uncle being bullied to the ground, and she didn't say anything for a long time.

So now, when he reacted like this, she naturally couldn't say anything.

It's just something she doesn't know, in ancient times, it turns out that one day she will also use power to accomplish everything.

With a wry smile in your heart, when you find a piece of driftwood when you fall into the water, of course you will hold on tightly, and you will not hesitate to grasp it mercilessly.

Thinking of this, Wuguo smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were full of soft colors, he gathered all the troubles in his heart, turned his head, opened his mouth, and said in a delicate voice: "Uncle Chang." ”

It's crisp, as if I've been chanting it in my heart many times.

"The minister is here."

Wuguo paused, and shouted "Uncle Chang" again.

The eldest uncle retracted his gaze, looked back at Wuguo, and made a faint "um" sound.

That night, she said: "I am Ying Nan's princess, the most noble princess in the Heavenly Underworld Continent, the royal daughter given by the Nine Heavens, and the only one in this world. ”

He looked at her, but there was a sarcastic smile in his eyebrows, and he could feel the growing fear hidden in her shouts, which were getting louder and louder.

But he didn't speak, just smiled, and the cold appearance stung her eyes very much.

She turned her head, tears welling up in her eyes, in fact, since when did they get here.

Her gaze was long and deep, she looked at the Qianji Hall in the center of the imperial city, and said for a long time: "Uncle, accompany me to climb the steps in front of the Qianji Palace." ”

She told the eldest uncle:

The thousand-step stairs in front of the Senji Hall are the only way for courtiers to go to court every day, and for royal women, there is only one chance in a lifetime to stand here.

She took his hand and climbed up step by step, the huge dragon and phoenix relief carved on the second step, the two didn't say much, just climbed.

When her mother was welcomed into the palace, she walked the thousand steps.

She had thought many times that when she walked this step in the future, who would be with her?

In her shortlist, there was no name of the eldest uncle from beginning to end.

She turned her head sideways, looked at the eldest uncle, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, just as today, it was a dream.

As the morning sun fell, the two climbed the steps.

Several dignitaries from the side path came up, although this Thousand Pole Hall stood on the Thousand Pole Steps, but Ping Ruoli went to the court, and they walked all the way.

The ministers looked at the five fruits and saluted, and occasionally a few people would salute the chief uncle.

After everyone entered, Wuguo looked at the court, and she said: "Let's make an agreement, after a year, when I sit firmly in the East Palace, I will let you go back, and you will do your best to assist before that." ”

The eldest uncle turned his head, his nose was still stained with sweat, and he said, "Okay." ”

If he waits for him, when she is beautiful, it will be the day he is allowed to return home.

It's just that who knows that she has never thought of competing for this high throne for so many years.

Separated by a whole hall, her eyes collided with Emperor Ying Nan, like a child who had found support, and tears welled up at once.
