A woman's face changes faster than the sky, and what is faster is the mood. The sun was still shining and the scenery was as usual, but when Madame Blossom came out of the dormitory, she felt that the sun was so white and dazzling that she was dizzy.

The palace has a clear artificial river in front of it, and she walks over an arched bridge over the river, with a rockery and a winding stone path in front of it. Madame Blossom looked up and down the road, but she couldn't see her head.

She walked on this seemingly endless path, the sun's halo swaying between the treetops as if in a dream. In a trance, time was going backwards, and she returned to the path in her dream......

It's been a long time, just a few years old. All she remembered was walking on a winding path, dressed in patched clothes, hungry and empty-handed, and seeing a lot of peonies on the hillside, so she held a large flower in her hand.

The trail that winds between the hills, and there seem to be many paddy fields on both sides, is too vague to remember. The clearest thing is the peony flowers on the hillside, which are so fragrant.

After walking for a long, long time, I saw a river, and a canopy boat stopped by the river. There are many houses on both sides of the river, mostly old tiled houses, but they look very lively, and it is the first time I have seen such a lively scene. When you get on the boat, the oars make a sound of rushing water on the water, and the river is like another road, winding and stretching, with no end...... She didn't know where she was going.

Later, I learned that there was no going back to that road. There is no turning back, and there is no end in sight.

…… Meng Chang didn't ask about the court, but the deadline was imminent. Madame Hua Rui arranged for a palace person with a lower status than her to leave the palace, and the members of the royal family, she didn't ask, but just went to meet and pass on a word.

The palace ladies left the imperial city in batches under the arrangement of the female eunuchs. Most of them are young ladies from good families that Meng Chang has found everywhere over the years, and they specialize in selecting beautiful people, thousands of people. But most of Meng Chang can't take care of it, and he has more than enough energy to do it, that is, when he sends "buy money" every month, he sits there and watches the beauties line up to receive money, and he can get over it. So when these little ladies leave the court, they will probably be able to find their way back.

"Mother, ......," a voice called out from behind.

When Madame Hua Rui turned her head to look, she saw that it was the eunuch Wei Zhong, a white eunuch in his twenties and thirties.

Lady Blossom said, "It's a good thing to get rid of them, it's much better than being bullied and tortured...... Where are you going? ”

Wei Zhong's face suddenly turned blank: "Slave family...... When I go back home, I will definitely not recognize it, and I will feel ashamed. Slave house, nowhere to go. I don't know if the monks in the temple want eunuchs like us. ”

Lady Hua Rui's heart was sour when she heard this, and she said, "If you are not afraid of being displaced, follow me." ”

Wei Zhong was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Niangniang! Xie Niangniang took it in. ”

Madame Blossom told him to kowtow, and then she reached out to help. Wei Zhong hurriedly retracted his hand, let Madame Hua Rui support him on his sleeve, and climbed up by himself by Madame Hua Rui's movements. Madame Blossom said softly: "Only those who have tasted homelessness know how to cherish the kindness of others. ”

"Yes, yes." Wei Zhong hurriedly bent down and said.

…… At this moment, I heard a commotion outside the palace gate. Madame Hua Rui asked the eunuch to follow her, and walked up to the tower of the palace city to see the scene outside.

Today, there were a lot of people outside the palace to watch, and after a few days, they didn't see the Zhou army doing evil in the city, and people couldn't stay at home. In addition to the people, there were many Zhou army soldiers, and the wide street outside the palace gate was crowded with people.

I saw a team of horsemen coming from the crowd, and a young man in armor in front of him was not Guo Shao?

"Guo Dashuai! Guo Dashuai ......, "The soldiers of the Zhou army shouted when they saw him, and it could be seen that he had a high prestige in the army and was very loved, and there were even soldiers who called Brother Shao with a hippie smile."

Guo Shao sat on a tall horse and raised his hand, and the soldiers stopped the noise slightly.

"Back then, Ben General and his two brothers, Yang Biao and Luo Mengzi......" Guo Shao said loudly, "In Wuzhen Town, Hedong, with dozens of recuperated soldiers and a group of gray-haired veterans, they fought with more than 100 elite soldiers of the Liao army!" Wuzhen Town is very poor, full of old and weak women and children. We don't do any good. ”

The noise of the soldiers was quieter. Guo Shao looked back and said: "But the soldiers shed blood and sacrificed there, regardless of their lives!" For what? In order to protect the Han people, not to be killed and trampled by the enemy!

Now, we are rich and strong. Have you forgotten our enthusiasm at the beginning, and have you forgotten what we are fighting for? ”

At this time, a group of veterans near him shouted, and someone shouted: "Lord, I am the one who struck the gong, the lord is putting arrows upstairs, and the house is burning......"

Guo Shao glanced at him, nodded, and continued: "If you soldiers want to rob and plunder the people, burn, kill, and plunder, first think about why those soldiers who died in battle fought in unprofitable places. I will not spare you.

I took the money from the treasury of Shudi. What to do, in addition to rewarding brave soldiers, we must expand our armaments and strengthen our strength; Take back the land that has been occupied by other countries, and the humiliation of the land that has been ceded in the snow, and then I will improve the people's livelihood, not the people without limit. ”

Guo Shao looked at the onlookers again: "We need dignity and safety!" Those strong enemies who threaten us and want to rob, rob and humiliate the people, we want to make them afraid and afraid with the roar of millions of iron hooves!

In the future, the people should also live a good life. After the unification of the world, I hope to see that most people eat three meals a day, and they can eat enough at each meal, and at least one tooth sacrifice for 15 days, white noodles, rice, braised pork, ......."

The atmosphere outside the palace was already scorching, and the scene of such a frenzy was noisier than the New Year, because the beggars and ragged people who had fled to the inner city had recently been driven by no one to drive them away.

He duly shouted, "For the people of the world!" Countless crowded soldiers shouted: "For Guo Dashuai!" "Invincible......" Not long after, all the soldiers shouted long live, and some even knelt down to look up at Guo Shao with emotion. At this time, Guo Shao rode away.

Some officials and soldiers came beating gongs and drums, reading aloud the documents written by Zuo You on the An Min Bang, and followed the street all the way. There are no people, basically as long as the head is normal, even if they are illiterate, they can understand.

Madame Hua Rui's emotions were infected by the warm atmosphere, and she was at least sure that Zhou Jun would not do anything wrong in Shu. There was still Guo Shao's vigorous figure just now in her mind, the raised iron hooves, the figure of raising her arms and shouting, and an inexplicable breath surged into Mrs. Hua Rui's heart, and she felt a little suffocated for a while.

Looking back on the chaotic palace, although she was carved and painted, she suddenly got a little tired of it, and even when she thought of the crystal palace, she felt very ethereal and ethereal. It was only gorgeous on the surface, but it lacked soul, and Crystal Palace could not comfort the emptiness in her heart.

At this moment, Wei Zhong whispered behind him: "Niangniang, this General Guo is by no means an idle person, and the soldiers of the Zhou army support him; In the Central Plains, force is everything...... Did you see it just now, many people said hooray, but no one stopped ......"

Mrs. Hua Rui's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she replied: "Don't call Niangniang in the future, Shu no longer exists." It was only a few days before the Zhou army conquered the Shu Kingdom, and it quickly stabilized the world, and the Great Shu court was over. ”

Wei Zhong hurriedly said: "Niangniang...... Madame's words are very true. Looking at it like this, the people of Shu will soon be able to submit to it; When the former Shu king Yan was destroyed, it didn't stop so much, didn't everyone also return to Dashu? There were some old people who didn't die a few decades ago, and they would say the difference. ”

Madame Blossom walked down Miyagi, not on the wide streets, but on the secluded path between the grass and trees beside it. The eunuch beside him never left an inch and was very loyal...... Moreover, Mrs. Hua Rui knew that he was quite capable of doing things, and it didn't take much time to find out the news of various characters around Guo Shao.

The bustle gradually drifted away, and I re-entered the depressed and quiet palace.

Because of the public attitude of the Zhou army and his actions, Mrs. Hua Rui is not so panicked now. She sat in front of the dresser, and had the leisure to open the jewelry box and play with the jewelry, gold and silver jewelry inside.

There was nothing to do in a quiet place, and she was cranky. I suddenly felt that it might be a good thing to be sold back then, otherwise I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see this world, a prosperous and rich place, and a day of fine clothes and food. There are no such beautiful and valuable things for me to play with.

At least now, she saw it, and she never wanted to go back to that life of not having enough to eat. She is not a tall person, she pretends a lot of the time, she just likes these beautiful and glorious things...... The women from the big families didn't understand her feelings.

But to get this, a woman without birth has to pay a price. Madame Blossom cherished her hand on her cheek, looked at the beautiful scene in the bronze mirror, and praised with a slight flush: "Hibiscus is so beautiful." ”

He looked down at his own figure. Madame Blossom knew what was most valuable to her, not the jewels in the box, not the palace that did not belong to her.

…… However, she is a little conflicted in her heart, because she is favored by her hue and is unstable.

If there was a man like that in the family back then, he could try to give her hope and make her feel that she could live a better life by giving, instead of selling her...... Then she must be willing to give everything for it, willing to take care of the housework for him. If you have it that way, you will be safe and happy.

Meng Chang was good to her, and she had also imagined that this noble man was the person in her dream, so she never wanted to confuse him, but often persuaded Meng Chang to be good to him. However, now that Meng Chang has lost everything, he didn't have to lose so badly......

Madame Blossom knew herself, and what she wanted most was not the flashy things, though she really liked them; What she wants is hope and expectation.
