Wuji (I)
One
The snow is falling, and the ground is crystal clear. This is a scenery that Supi is accustomed to seeing all year round. It's just that today is very different.
"It's so pretty......"
The palace was full of the admiration of the female officials, but what made them so surprised was not the scenery outside the palace, but the newborn baby in front of them at this moment.
When ordinary babies are born, they are red and wrinkled, like an old man, or rather, more like a drunken monkey.
But the little princess in front of them, who was only a moment of birth, was not like this at all. The mother-in-law who gave birth to the little princess also said that she had never seen such a beautiful newborn baby in her life.
Delicate and smooth, like a fine mutton fat jade. The queen who held the little princess in her arms, although she wanted to kiss her, she was worried that she would hurt her daughter. In the end, he just stretched out a finger and gently stroked the cheek of the little princess with the back of his finger.
"My treasure is a treasure that the goddess herself gave me...... From now on, you will be called 'Subigarna.'"
The ladies heard that one night, before the queen gave birth to her little princess, she dreamed of a goddess who came to her with a blue bead in her hand, and then disappeared.
This is also the reason why the queen named the little princess "Garo". Garo, Garo, noble and strong, God bless and be happy.
The queen thought that when the little princess grew up, she would be a thousand times better than the little queens, including her.
Subi is the surname of the royal family and the name of the country. The customs and customs of the Subi country are very different from those of the Central Plains. One country and two masters, the big queen and the little queen, and the rest, all those who should be men in the Central Plains are also borne by women.
Naturally, all the women in Subi are heroic and majestic. The envoys of the Central Plains countries came here, and they were quite uncomfortable.
Ochre and yellow-faced, as fast as a mountain wolf, quiet as a sleeping dragon. The people of the Subi country have always believed in the Shura god of war, and the name of being able to fight well is heard from far and near, and even the elite people are very jealous. Bloody appearance, the Subi people on the battlefield are clearly living living Shura!
However, the little princess seems to be an exception.
The little princess is very lively and loves to laugh. She often liked to run around in the snow alone with bare feet, and sometimes when she was in a very good mood, she would dance alone, which was very different from other princesses who were diligent in the snow with bows and spears.

"Look, look, that's the envoy of the Xuan Kingdom, I heard that it seems to be their prince!"
"They are not called so in the Central Plains, they are called 'princes', but their princes look too thin, right? Just like him, I can knock three down with one punch! ”
Listening to the voices of several cousins from a distance in her ears, the little princess who was playing with fists and embroidered legs on the side was distracted.
The next moment, she simply threw the scimitar in her hand aside, trotted a few steps, put her hands on the bodies of several cousins, squeezed her head out of them, followed the direction of their fingers, and looked curiously into the distance.
is indeed a very thin young man, it seems that he is as old as her, and he is obviously wearing a thick white fox fur, but he still has to hold a slap-sized "copper furnace" in his hand, listening to the female officials, it is used by the Central Plains people to warm their hands.
"Ahem......" The young man's body trembled and coughed a few times, but he still sat there, discussing something with the big queen, the little queen, her mother.
It's a pity that Subijaruo hated that she didn't have a pair of ears, and she listened to it for a long time, but she still didn't hear what they were saying clearly.
However, this teenager seems to have some good-looking appearances? Compared with the one in the country of Subi, it seems to be a little different, but Subigara can't tell what the difference is.
If Subiga had ever seen the bamboo trees in the Central Plains, then she would definitely associate this young man with the bamboo forest under the moon. Slender as a bamboo, a leisurely gentleman, it is the young man in front of him who is talking about it.
Thinking that it was also due to the national style, Subijaruo was waiting for the young man to finish talking to her mother and others, so she couldn't wait to go around and came to the young man's residence in the palace first.
"I'm the little princess Suvigaro, I like you!"
Although the goose-feathered snow had accumulated a thick layer on the ground, it did not stop Subigara from jumping barefoot from a stone directly in front of the young man.
There was still some unfamiliar Chinese, and the tone was a little strange when it came out of her mouth.
Unguarded, the young man who wanted to rest was startled by the little princess who suddenly appeared. But he quickly stopped the guard beside him, and he noticed the ochre pattern on her face, which was a symbol of royal status.
The corners of the young man's mouth curled slightly, trying to maintain his composure, but it was not red because of the cold, and his ears, which were red all the way to the base of his ears, revealed his shame. The young man was shy and shy, but at the same time replied to the little princess in a very authentic Subi dialect. "My name is 'Akang', little princess Jiaruo, you speak Chinese very well."
This was the first time the two met.
It's just that none of them will know that this glance has already doomed them to be pulled by fate, entwined with the slightest thread, and entangled for a lifetime.

"Akon, what kind of flower is this on your clothes? It's a lot like snowflakes, but not as white as them! ”
Subigaro had always been curious about the ivory flowers embroidered on the boy's cuffs, she had never seen them before. As she spoke, she curiously touched it with her hand, and then wanted to take a snowflake with her hand to compare, but the snowflake quickly melted into her palm.
"It's a white plum blossom, no matter the streets and alleys of Yecheng, you can always find it."
The young man was still smiling, looking at Subigaro, who was a little lost because of the melting snow, he shook the sleeve of his robe in his right hand, and at the same time retracted his hand, and then stretched the sleeve of his robe outside the house.
"The plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses the fragrance of the plum. Do you know that these snowflakes are all six-petaled......"
A poem that suited the occasion floated out of the boy's mouth, imperceptibly, and only once, Subikaro firmly remembered it. Even the first Chinese character that the young man taught her to write with her hand was this poem.
The country of Subi has been covered with snow for almost all the years, so since he came to the country of Subi, the young man had to stay obediently in the special residence for him in the palace of the king of Subi all day because of a disease caused by congenital deficiency, and he had no choice but to leave half a step. However, fortunately, the little princess Subhikara came to accompany him every day.
"Oh, it's boring, huh! By the way, I'll show you the dance! ”
Su Pi Karuo, who was still bored and lying in the hall and rolling on the ground, said and ran out into the snow outside. His feet were still bare, and the silver bells on his ankles were ethereal, and for a moment, the young man felt that this little Wang Maiden really looked like a mountain spirit born with a long life.
The dance is graceful, sometimes as soft as a cloud, and sometimes very wild and wild. Accompanied by the sound of the bell spring, it is like a fairy in an exotic land.
Halfway through the dance, the young man suddenly felt as if something was missing at this moment, and after pondering for a moment, his hand touched his waist, and there was a hint of coldness, which was a tube of white jade flute on his waist.
Born slender, the ten fingers born for music are placed on the sound point of the jade flute step by step. Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu, obviously there are only a few simple syllables, but under the ten fingers of the young man, it is a peerless sound.
A flute and a dance, the combination of heaven and man.
He talked a lot with her that day.
For example, the young man was very envious of Subija if he was accompanied by his mother, unlike himself who dragged his mother to death due to his difficult childbirth, leaving only this jade flute for himself.
For example, he was very envious of Subi's white and flawless snow almost all year round. Although, this is what Subigara is tired of seeing.
"Don't worry, the snow won't stop, let you see enough!"

One year later, today, is the return date. The boy didn't say anything, or before he could say anything, he was taken back to Xuanguo by his vassals.
At that time, Subika was three months away from reaching adulthood, and the sixteenth year of Subi was still three months old, and three months later, when she came of age, it was time for her to succeed her as the little queen. However, she unexpectedly abdicated the throne.
"I, Subigaro, am going to marry the prince of Xuanguo! In the future, I will no longer be a little princess, and I will not be your little queen! ”
blurted out, just when everyone thought that the little princess was making a childish joke and losing her temper, Subikaro began to go on a hunger strike. He did not eat or drink, and then ran out of the palace and wandered outside for three days, until the queen and her mother reluctantly agreed.
In fact, the purpose of the envoys sent by Xuanguo was precisely to ask the prince to marry a princess.
"Gara, from now on, you are only Kara, no longer the Subian royal family. But we will always be your loved ones......"
Ignoring the bitter persuasion, Subikaruo resolutely left the city of Subi.
The people were sleepy and tired, but they finally arrived in Yecheng on the night before the stipulated wedding date. On the second day after arriving in Yecheng, the Xuan royal family couldn't wait to hold a big wedding ceremony for the prince and Subijiaruo.
However, the moment Subikara's red hijab was revealed, she didn't see the young man who had been absent for a long time, although the person in front of her was very similar to the young man's appearance, but he was a few years older, and it was clearly not him!
"You !!"
I don't know what happened, I don't know where I am, and I don't know where the young man who is thinking about her heart is, Subijaruo exclaimed, her body moved with her heart, she immediately got up and wanted to run out, but in the next moment like a little bird caught by the net, the pair of strong arms behind her, tightly surrounded her, into her chest, struggled, but also struggled to no avail......
The next day was dawn, and the couch was empty. The crown prince had already left at some point, leaving her alone in the huge East Palace.
The following days were not as simple and plain as she thought.
The language is not understood, and the customs are very different. Not to mention how the prince treated her, even the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs were all as cold, like the green bricks in the courtyard of the East Palace.
With no one to talk to, Subigara felt like a green finch in a cage, a green finch with its tongue cut out, its mouth sewn with a needle, and its paws bound with golden chains.
Where exactly are the others?
Soon, at another royal wedding, she found the answer to this question herself.
On that day, the crown prince unexpectedly took her out of the palace for the first time and came outside the palace. Where the carriage stopped, was a chic mansion.
"Kang...... King...... Prefecture? Don't? ”
Subigaro looked up and muttered to herself, but her face was full of disbelief, until she saw the main hall of the palace, and the one she was familiar with was a young man in a red robe.
The young man also saw her, but when he saw his royal brother walking towards him with her very affectionately, he had no choice but to bow down.
"Imperial brother, imperial sister-in-law."
The double voice, in addition to the boy's own voice, there was another, very arrogant voice, this voice, belonged to his princess, a neighboring and close princess.
"The emperor's brother is getting married today, I and Garori are coming to congratulate now, and my father is inconvenient for him to come, so he sent me to send a congratulatory gift."
As he spoke, the prince waved his left hand back, signaling his men to carry one congratulatory gift after another. And the right hand has always been around Subigara's waist, surprisingly gentle and considerate.
"Ha, I didn't expect the royal brother's wedding ceremony to be much more lively than mine, but the royal brother, you have to drink today to do what you can, don't let people down today......"
The prince smiled meaningfully, and then left the couple with Subigaro. It's just that although the person is gone, the movements of his hands have not stopped. From time to time, the crown prince would gently put his left hand on Subigara's lower abdomen with ulterior motives.
The young man who was still looking at Subigaro from afar, when he saw this, his face was even more pale and ugly.
"What's wrong with you?" It seems that the tone of rejection thousands of miles away is a greeting from his princess.
"Nothing...... Ahem......" After pouring a few glasses of wine in a row, the young man choked and coughed a few times, and his face, which was originally pale, now became a little ruddy because of a few more glasses of wine.
The next moment, he was surprised. His princess, without difficulty, split the glass from his hand and took it in her own hand. Then, one, two, three......
"You don't want to, I don't want to, simply, you and I might as well have a drink today......"
