Chapter 53: The Secret History of the Court
An Yang turned his head to Zhong Shu again, it seems that this imperial doctor was sent by the palace to follow Sima Yi, otherwise how would he know about the affairs in the palace.
"Zhong Shu might as well talk about the events of that year, in fact, I also want to know. Your boss refuses to make it clear, always vague! It seems that Sima Yi is also very interested in this seventeenth emperor uncle who has never met.
Zhong Shu slowly got up from the ground and dusted off his body. Curtsied to Sima Yi, "It's not that Weichen is unwilling to say it, it's that he can't say it." It's a royal taboo! ”
"Zhong Shu, today's strange poison Hades have already appeared. Do you think the so-called royal taboo can still be hidden? Go ahead! Don't worry! Saying that, Sima Yi waved his hand behind him and kicked everyone out.
If such a terrible character reappears in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar again. What made this female devil reappear in the rivers and lakes? Or did her descendants come out and endanger the world?
An Yang's curiosity was also hooked by this poisonous doctor and demon concubine who refused to say a word from his grandfather, not to mention that there is now a seventeenth emperor uncle.
Zhong Shu stabilized his mind before he spoke quietly. His account made Sima Yi and An Yang completely thundered, and there was such a bizarre secret history of the palace.
Everything goes back to thirty-six years ago, in order to stabilize his position, Chen Guoxinjun gave the world's first beauty, Princess Yunyun, and his relatives to Sima Qingtian, the new monarch of the powerful Great Jin Kingdom.
Naturally, the emperor himself would not go directly to greet his relatives, so he sent someone to call Sima Changqing, the seventeenth prince of the Seventeenth Prince, who had followed the immortal doctor of the Western Regions to Yunyin Peak to study medicine since he was a child, from the Western Regions, and went to Chen State to greet the first beauty in the world for him.
Empress Dajin is notoriously jealous, and Princess Yunyun is naturally reluctant to marry such an emperor, not to mention that she is only married in the name of a concubine.
But because Princess Yunyun inadvertently showed her beauty at her brother's enthronement ceremony, it immediately caused an uproar, and the title of the world's first beauty spread far and wide.
Countries continue to send envoys to coerce and induce them to marry this beautiful princess.
The young and competitive and pretentious new emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty was even more shocked after seeing the portrait of Princess Yunyun, and immediately sent an envoy to Chen Guo, with a tough attitude and obvious threat.
Chen Guoxinjun has just ascended the throne and the throne is not stable, where can he withstand such an offensive. Since marrying anyone is marrying, it is natural to marry the most beneficial backer to make the best use of everything.
In this way, the first beauty in the world was presented as a precious gift to the most powerful Jin Kingdom today.
Princess Yunyun has been weak and gentle since she was a child, and she is quite timid. was given by his brother in this way to the monarch of another country he had never met, or a king with a well-known jealous queen, naturally he refused in every way. However, the emperor's brother insisted on this, and she was forced to marry in tears.
In the early summer of that year, the seventeenth prince of the Great Jin Dynasty came to greet his relatives by the emperor's order.
The slender young man with a graceful posture and a gentle jade was dressed in a brocade robe, and his black hair and golden crown stood at the gate of the Imperial City of Chen Guo, which became a gorgeous scenery.
Princess Yunyun came with the support of the servants. The princess did not wear a red hijab as required that day, and this was the first time she disobeyed the emperor's order and became the lord herself.
When she saw the handsome young man standing in front of the horse, her eyes lit up. She didn't expect the prince who came to pick up her relatives to be so handsome.
He has a tall posture, his face is like a crown of jade, thick eyebrows and a high nose, and his dark and deep phoenix eyes are rippling with a bay of autumn waves, looking gentle and quiet, restrained and reserved. is no more powerful than his brother's Kong Wu, rough and heroic. It's actually a beautiful son.
Since childhood, the seventeenth prince likes to dance and write, and loves medicine. He is a real weak scholar and is not good at martial arts. It is completely different from the princes of the Chen State who respect the use of force.
His temperament is somewhat similar to that of this beautiful and gentle princess. Maybe it's because of the same aura, the depressed princess Yunyun was in a much better mood when she saw the smiling seventeen princes.
She also smiled back, but she didn't know that because of this smile, this young man who was just starting to fall in love lost his mind, and since then he has fallen into the abyss from which he will never recover.
The beautiful girl in red clothes, slowly growing lotus, and delicate and picturesque eyebrows, makes people forget the hustle and bustle of the world at a glance.
Such a beauty cannot be described in words, no matter how gorgeous the language is, it is impossible to describe her beauty, it is a kind of blasphemy against her.
The smiling young man was stunned, and even forgot the purpose of his visit.
The eyes of everyone at the gate of the entire imperial city were glazed. Some are because of the world's first beauty princess, and some are because of this elegant and handsome young man.
Later, the emperor who came out to see him off arrived, so that everyone was relieved.
After some hypocritical greetings, Princess Yunyun finally embarked on a road of no return.
Looking back at the home where she was born and raised her for 15 years, she took a tearful look at the last time that she had relied on and worshipped the emperor's brother since she was a child. Got straight into the carriage and pulled down the curtains.
This not-so-thick curtain blocked the last glimmer of hope for Princess Yunyun. How she wished her brother could shout at the last minute, "Little sister is back!" You don't need to marry far away! Brother protect you! ”
She didn't know how her brother, whom she had always loved deeply, was feeling, she just saw a gentle smile on his face.
The smile made her feel sarcastic like never before, and it made her feel sick like never before.
The brother who spoiled her and protected her on weekdays personally gave her to others as a political bargaining chip today. Her heart was like water, and she was completely lifeless.
As the weather was already a little hot, the princess, who had never been far away, was delicate and frail.
I've been sick and lifeless since I started. So the trip was much slower than expected.
The escort team stretched for miles along the way, and dozens of cars of dowry showed that Chen Guo attached great importance to this marriage. The team stopped and stopped, and it took half a month to approach the border of the Jin Kingdom.
may be too tightly guarded, and those people from all over the world who covet the beauty of the princess do not dare to act rashly.
On this day, the convoy came to the vicinity of Daqingshan. After crossing this mountain, you are about to enter the territory of the Jin Kingdom.
Daqing Mountain is undulating and densely wooded. The hotter and hotter weather made the trip even harder.
Everyone wiped the sweat and glanced at the sun overhead, it was almost noon, and it was time to camp and rest.
Tan Zhang, the general of the army, drove his horse to the seventeenth prince, who was also sweating, "Your Highness, the front is about to reach the territory of our Jin Kingdom." Shouldn't Chen Guo's send-off party let them go back? ”
Since the age of twelve, the seventeenth prince went to Yunyin Peak in the Western Regions with his master, and he has not returned for six years. Even when his father died, and the tenth emperor brother Sima Qingtian ascended the throne, no one informed him.
The first time someone went to look for him, he actually asked him to greet Sima Qingtian, to be honest, he was really a little uncomfortable in his heart.
These generals seem to be respectful, but in fact, how sincere are they? Although he didn't say anything, he knew it very well in his heart.
Sima Changqing sighed quietly, "Okay! General Tan looks at it! ”
The team found a slightly cooler place in front of the mountain to camp and rest, and by the way, sent off the Chen army who sent off their relatives.
Sima Changqing walked to Princess Yunyun's carriage, bowed down and said, "The princess has worked hard all the way!" Do you want to come out and breathe? Now we have reached the foot of Daqing Mountain, and we have reached the realm of Dajin after crossing this mountain. ”
Princess Yunyun had long been bored in the carriage, and when she heard that the seventeenth prince said that she could go out, she immediately opened the curtain and walked out. The carriage was stuffy and hot, and it was about to turn into a steamer.
Princess Yunyun gave the seventeenth prince a sweet smile.
If it weren't for Sima Changqing's company and careful care these days, Princess Yunyun really didn't know if she would have survived.
In the past few days, her body has gradually improved, and the two will occasionally chat for a while.
Princess Yunyun followed Sima Changqing to a big tree, and immediately someone brought two stools and a small table, and some guards brought dry food and water.
Sima Changqing sat down opposite the princess. He poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
"The weather has been getting hotter and hotter these days, and the princess is feeling okay?" His voice is gentle and pleasant, making people listen to it like a clear sweet spring flowing slowly.
Princess Tong Yun didn't know whether it was hot or shy, and her pink face was as ruddy as a peach blossom in March.
"Thanks to His Highness's herbal tea! It's fine!" The two chatted and ate snacks.
Suddenly, Princess Yunyun took away the maid who was serving with her, and asked in a low voice, "Has Your Highness ever been married?" As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, and his cheeks were like red cherries.
Sima Changqing was stunned for a moment, immediately blocked his mouth and nose with his hand, blushed slightly and coughed in a low voice.
"I have been practicing medicine with my master in Yunyin Peak since I was a child, and I have just returned to the palace." What he meant by that was that he hadn't been?
When Princess Yunyun heard this, the corners of her mouth curled slightly.
She lowered her head and fiddled with the pastry in her hand, and no longer spoke, only the red glow on her face revealed her thoughts.
Sima Changqing was also red-faced, and he didn't know what to do. The Assassin's heart was beating like a drum, nervous and excited.
Such a fairy-like girl took the initiative to ask about his marriage match, and the meaning was self-evident.
After a long while, Princess Yun finally couldn't help but ask again, "I wonder if Your Highness has a favorite?" This time the sound was quieter, and the mosquitoes and flies were thin.
This time, Sima Changqing couldn't calm down. He greeted his brother, and sitting in front of him was his future imperial sister-in-law.
How could he ......
But his heart can't help but come closer, what to do?
A duel between emotion and reason. He struggled with himself and himself.
His face must have turned the color of pork liver, he thought.
He shoved the dry pastry into his mouth so desperately that he coughed violently when he accidentally grabbed it, and he took the opportunity to escape from the table.
He staggered and ran towards the mountain, and Tan Zhang, who was not far away, saw him suddenly going up the mountain, and hurriedly ran after him, shouting while chasing back, "Your Highness!" Where are you going? ”
"I'll go and make it easier, don't come with me!" Sima Changqing burrowed into the bushes without looking back.
