Text Chapter 454 I still remember the old alliance of temples and clouds on the lakeside

That many are hard to see through, and the direct teaching of life and death is in sight, and the word is greedy!

Many things in the world do not have to go through the test of life and death, and they have already been deeply rooted in love, and they can't stop. What's more, someone once rescued each other in the army of thousands of horses, and he was tender before riding alone!

Four years ago, the situation in Chang'an City changed abruptly, the Changle Marquis Mansion was burned, the Fanxue Tower was closed overnight, and everyone's whereabouts were unknown. After Princess Suxi learned the news as soon as possible, she immediately managed to notify the emperor in the high temple outside the city, and the Yulin army dispatched in time to prevent the situation from becoming more serious.

Later, Yuan Zhao secretly sneaked back to Chang'an to slaughter the Jiangdu Palace, causing Emperor Long Yan to be furious and thrown into prison. Princess Suxi did not hesitate to put down her dignity and pleaded bitterly for him...... At that moment, if he could avoid being innocent, she would willingly agree to such a thing as going to the grassland and kissing again.

On that winter night four years ago, by the river in the cold city, she released a lotus lantern for him, and the wishes placed on it became a secret hidden deep in her heart. Later, he left Chang'an and rarely returned, let alone came to this mansion.

However, the promise he had made and the promise of the future had been firmly engraved in her heart and in every day of her life.

If there is any thing that Princess Suxi has received the most precious gift since she was a child, or what she is most grateful to her father, it is that night he forced Yuan Zhao to make a clear attitude. Whenever she thought of the promise made by the man in the night, her heart was filled with hope and waiting.

“…… Princess Suxi, I will naturally give her an explanation, but it will take time ....... ”

Oh, how fast time flies! Four years have passed since that night. Isn't it time to fulfill that promise?

Regarding the title of Marquis of Yuanzhao'an, Su Xi, who was canonized as Princess Li'an very early, naturally knew what the meaning was. Both the father and the queen mother vaguely revealed some of the meanings to her. This specially renovated mansion is nominally a meritorious reward for Yuan Zhao, but in fact, it is a dowry for the princess.

Although there are still many worries in his heart, Su Xi is naturally full of joy. In the past few years, whenever she has time, she will change into ordinary clothes and sneak out of the palace, and come here to carefully dress up her future home bit by bit.

She did this, but she was acquiesced in by Empress Wei. For the sake of his daughter's future happiness, many rules in the palace are naturally temporarily ignored. The queen specially selected the eunuch palace, the most confidant of Jianzhang Palace, and asked him to lead five or six loyal guards to protect the princess's safety.

Su Xi is a quick-witted woman, and she has always understood Yuan Zhao's mind best. Naturally, the size of the emperor's mansion could not be changed at will, but in this backyard, she built the entire back garden according to what she imagined Yuan Zhao to like.

Like a swallow pecking at the spring mud, the woman who secretly longed for her used all her abilities to build this house for the person she was waiting for, and stored it full of fragrance, so that when he walked in one day, he would show a satisfied smile, and with a gentle compliment, he would be satisfied.

Su Xi basically comes a dozen times a month, and today is just as usual. When she was carefully pruning the flowers and trees she had planted, the familiar and unfamiliar shadow suddenly came into view, and her heart seemed to be suddenly filled with something, and she couldn't say a word.

A group of maids who had been brought from the palace in the backyard were a little surprised to see the seemingly virtuous and elegant princess at a loss, but when they followed that gaze and saw the smiling person standing at the gate of the courtyard, they all understood something. Soon, in the sneaky scrutiny and the sound of small footsteps, everyone took the initiative to choose to avoid it, leaving a quiet space for everyone's favorite Princess Suxi and her sweetheart.

"You, you're finally here......."

I don't know how long it has been, maybe just a moment ago, maybe it's been 10,000 years. The eldest princess of the Han Dynasty, who was already out of the country, finally muttered these words.

Men in green clothes and white shirts pass through the pink and delicate flowers and trees, and the flowers are all over their heads, and the breath of spring here is so grand, as if to congratulate a major festival in advance.

"Suxi, I'm sorry! You shouldn't have to wait so long...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Before he finished speaking, a Qianqianyu hand had already covered his mouth, and there was the fragrance of flowers on it...... The coolness of tears.

"I don't want you to say that! As long as you can, no matter how late it is...... I'll wait. Brother Yuan ....... ”

The breeze passes through the turquoise bamboo, the peach and plum compete to bloom, and the pear blossoms fall but are whiter than snowflakes. With shallow pity and deep touch, the man in Tsing Yi didn't say any more worldly love words, he just reached out and grabbed Su Yi's wrist and walked forward along the bluestone path. Behind them, the colors of a thousand trees render the whole spring. Holding the hand of the son, there are no regrets in this life.

For many days in this spring, news about Yuan Zhao's wedding was circulating inside and outside Chang'an City. Anyone who knows or doesn't know has heard several versions. But which one is the most real, no one can say yet.

As for some of the stories that happened behind this, of course, ordinary people in the world have no way of knowing. Maybe only when the wedding day really comes, everyone will suddenly realize, I see!

The troubled legends of the outside world will naturally be heard by people in Weiyang Palace. Even the queen mother, who had already lived in the Yilan Palace and no longer cared about the affairs of the palace, someone added fuel and vinegar to her to tell the reason, and successfully provoked her anger, which is related to the face of the royal family, how can she be so hasty!

The Queen Mother is actually not too old, but since she fell seriously ill a few years ago because of the death of King Jiangdu, both her physical condition and psychological mood have become very bad.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, starting from the Empress Dowager Lu to the Empress Dowager Dou, the empress dowagers of all dynasties have held tremendous power in their hands. Even sometimes, the emperor had to bow down and dare not disobey. It can be said that this piece of the world is jointly managed by the emperor and the queen mother.

But when it came to the Queen Mother, everything changed. As the queen mother, let alone interfering in political affairs, even in this harem, her authority has been greatly reduced. In the past, the queen came from the Dou family, and under the huge figure of the Empress Dowager Dou, the queen mother could only obey and serve carefully, and never dared to express her opinions.

Later, the Empress Dowager Dou died, the queen changed hands, and was replaced by the low-born Empress Wei to preside over the harem, the queen mother thought that her time had finally come, and her younger brother Tian Jue was the prime minister, and she could also imitate the practice of the queen mothers of previous dynasties, and get some from her emperor's son in the huge power game.

In fact, she doesn't have much ambition, neither the capital of the Empress Dowager Lu who can look down on the world, nor the ability of the Empress Dowager Dou to deal with the world's major affairs. The power she wants is just to get some benefits and benefits for her family. But even if she had such a small wish, the emperor's son did not let her come true.

After several conflicts and frictions, it is no secret that in the Weiyang Palace, the discord between the emperor and the empress dowager has long been no secret. Although it is said that the Han Dynasty preaches the rule of the world with filial piety, there are many things that the subjects of the world do not know about in the palace.

It's okay for her own son to do this, especially what makes the Queen Mother unbearable is that the low-born Empress Wei, once she really ascends to the throne, the means she shows also make her indignant, and she has nowhere to tell.

The Tian family has been completely defeated, and after Tian Jue's death, his two sons also died one after another, and the title of Marquis of Wu'an no longer exists. It is basically impossible to rely on the strength of relatives.

Fortunately, there was still a person in the palace who still regarded her as the queen mother, and would come from time to time to hear her tell some complaints and resentments, which made her feel comforted. This person is Li Wanyu, the beauty of Shuyu Palace.

Since Li Wanyu gave birth to a prince to the emperor three years ago, her status in the palace has risen sharply, and today, with the emperor's favor and the merits of the smart and clever little prince, it has reached the point where it is second only to the empress Wei Zifu of the Han Dynasty.

Whether it was out of sincerity or falsehood, or with mutual help, Li Wanyu still brought a lot of comfort and happiness to the Queen Mother. Especially the little prince, although he is only a little over three years old, he will already be very likable to adults, whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they like Li Wanyu's son very much, which has also become a bond between their mother and son to maintain warmth.

If it is possible in the future...... Wouldn't it be better to replace the current queen and crown prince with Li Wanyu and her little prince? Such a thought has risen many times from the depths of the Queen Mother's heart in the twilight drum and morning bell of Weiyang Palace. To tell the truth, she deeply hated the queen of Jianzhang Palace and her two daughters and a son, if there really was one day, she would be very happy to see them fall to the point of being deposed!

It was under the domination of such emotions that the Queen Mother heard the news that Li Meiren had for her. At that time, she felt that this was an excellent opportunity, even if it would not cause any substantial harm to Jianzhang Palace in the end, she had to take a bad breath, after all, the patriarchy of the Han royal family was here, how could they be allowed to mess around!

"Come on, go and recruit Dazong Zheng quickly! This time, we must let him check the laws and regulations of the Great Han Sect and list them one by one. Then show the emperor whether the rules set by these ancestors should be followed! Hum! ”
