The spring rain came and went, and the convoy carrying Empress Yan and the third prince of Yan Guo continued to travel south with the larger and larger escort procession in the sound of squeaking and rubbing, and walked for a full twenty days before returning from Jicheng to the suburbs of Handan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Shili Pavilion, there are already palace envoys, court officials and complicated honor guards from the city, waiting for the arrival of Empress Yan and Chang'an Jun.

Mingyue got out of the car, greeted the officials who congratulated him on the successful completion of the mission, and walked to the luxurious carriage in which Empress Yan was riding, knocked on the closed door and said, "Sister, there is Handan City in front!" ”

Under the watchful eyes of the officials who deliberately avoided it, but couldn't help but look over, the curtain of the carriage was lifted to a corner, revealing half of Yan Hou's white face. She looked south in the bright midday sun, and faintly saw a yellow-colored shadow of the city, but it was a little far away, and even if she tried to straighten up, it could not make the gray-yellow shadow clearer.

But she could still recognize that it was the building of Congtai, the palace built by her grandfather, King Wuling, and in another hour or two, she would be able to see her mother again......

She sighed with both anticipation and apprehension: "Get in the car and talk." “

Mingyue was not restrained, lifted the curtain and got in, it was very warm and warm, the third son of Yan Guo was gently shaken in the arms of Queen Yan, he was sleeping soundly, blowing small bubbles at the corner of his mouth, looking very cute, Queen Yan seemed to be used to her "mother" performance, looking at the eyes of the third prince, there was really a little pity.

"Do you know how I'm feeling right now?" Empress Yan stared down at the third prince, but asked Mingyuedao.

Mingyue said: "Marrying far away in a foreign country and returning to Ning after a long absence must be very complicated." ”

"Yes, after all, I am different from those daughters who are in harmony with husband and wife, and whose husband accompanies them to return to Ningning." Empress Yan showed a wry smile.

"A three-year-old woman, a laborer; Sleep at night, and have a bright future. As for the violence......"

After reading this poem, Empress Yan raised her head and said to Mingyue: "When I came to the edge of Handan, I felt lucky, thanks to listening to your plan, I didn't return to Ning." Otherwise, I really don't know how to face the queen mother when I return, when I got married, the queen mother held my ankle and told me not to return! ”

"King Yan doesn't know the real jade and doesn't know how to cherish it, how can he blame his sister? The queen mother will not complain about her sister, but will avenge her grievances. ”

Empress Yan shook her head: "Brother doesn't know, you can laugh." Quietly think about it, bow down and mourn yourself. Things in the world are almost the same, and ordinary people will laugh at their sisters when they encounter such things, let alone royal marriages? Not everyone can consider my sister's feelings like you and think about me everywhere. ”

Mingyue was silent, and she wanted to speak again.

As they spoke, the vast and complicated guard of honor set off again, heading down the wide avenue toward Congtai. At this time, it was the end of Meng Spring, and the surrounding area was full of spring, the east wind dissolved the cold, the hibernating animals began to move, the fish moved in the shallow water, the otters quickly drove away between them, and the wild geese also flew back from the south......

The fields in the fields beside him have been reopened, the farmers are busy driving the cattle and horses, the swallows are flying around pecking at the spring mud to build nests, and the small butterflies that have just emerged from the chrysalis are flapping their wings slowly in the spring breeze......

Looking at these scenes outside the car and looking at the butterfly, Queen Yan felt a long-lost breath called "freedom".

In the memory of Empress Yan, Jicheng is a city frozen in ice and snow, because the population is small, life is also a little simple, except for the palace every night, there is hardly any light to be seen, and the people are also rough and wild, silent and boring.

Handan is different, before entering the main city, they have already felt the hustle and bustle of the suburbs, the road is full of pedestrians, mostly taxis and women who come out for an outing, those streams along the way are rippling green waves in spring, women wear rare two-color skirts in Yan Kingdom, or more concise, arms are exposed outside, men and women hold bluegrass in their hands to play and tease, send a peony can be privately ......

It was already noon, and the people queuing up to enter the city were still half a mile away, and today was the market day, and people from all walks of life were crowded together, and the neighbors and township parties were chattering and talking.

This is Handan, a metropolis full of wealth, philistine opportunities, and fashion, where Zhao Di's generosity and Zheng Wei's gentle snuggling coexist, and the sword edge of the ranger and the dance of Zhongshan beauties complement each other, which is so warm and exciting that it is intoxicating...... At least Empress Yan was already drunk.

"It hasn't changed, it's really not changed at all." Empress Yan smiled, as if she had returned to the time when the royal family was traveling, when she was still an ignorant girl, always sitting in the car, nervously watching the advocacy juggling on the street, and following the people, she clapped her palms and applauded loudly, this is the life she likes.

"It's just people who change."

Her joy and worry changed rapidly, and she suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that my father is no longer there, I didn't feel anything before I got married, until I saw King Yan, I realized that my father is not only a good king, but also a good husband and father, how lucky the queen mother is, how lucky our brothers and sisters are!" ”

In her words, her resentment towards King Yan was still there, and it did not get better because King Yan changed his attitude towards her after adopting the third son.

Back in China, Mingyue also made no secret of her contempt for King Yan: "This is nature, if the first king is the sky, then the king of Yan is the soil!" Worlds apart! ”

When Empress Yan heard this, she smiled, which aroused the resonance of Empress Yan, and Mingyue repeated the words she wanted to say and stopped: "But sister, since the death of the first king, the queen mother's health is not very good, in front of her, even if she cries and complains, you have to take care of it......"

"Don't worry."

Empress Yan put away her smile: "In front of the queen mother, I will speak in a measured manner and complain, but I will not cry and shout to come back like I saw you for the first time, saying that I should not go to Yan Country again." ”

Mingyue sighed: "It's just that I've wronged my sister." ”

"Grievance?" A sharp rhetorical question almost woke up the third son in his arms, but fortunately, he fell asleep again with a mutter.

Empress Yan lowered her voice at this time: "There are more wronged women in this world!" was abducted by King Chu Wen and took Qiangna, and Xi Yuan, who almost never said a word after that, was he wronged? Duchess Xu Mu watched the loss of her homeland, but her husband was unwilling to help her restore the country, so she could only go back to cry in the palace and write some poems to talk about her thoughts, do you say she was wronged? ”

She sneered: "But what if you are wronged? The makeup is dirty, I can only sit down and repaint, my teeth are missing, I can only swallow it with blood, I have to learn to endure, and endure until the day when my child grows up, is the day to turn over...... Don't worry, the daughter of the first king, the daughter of the queen mother, and the princess of Zhao will not be so easy to admit defeat! ”

"Sister......" Mingyue was a little surprised, as if she had reacquainted herself with her sister, and the stubborn and proud princess in her memory came to life again, just like after a cold winter struggle, the butterfly that had bitten the chrysalis in the spring was spreading her gorgeous wings in the sun.

"And you are old, and I am always resentful. Qi has a shore, and Xi has a pan. Swear by it, don't think about it. But if you don't think about it, it's already gone! It's gone! It's gone! ”

After seven years of hard work, two children who have been lost one after another, unforgettable grievances come to mind, and Queen Yan said to Mingyue: "I will do what you said, and endure it in Yan Country for another ten years, and ...... ten years later."

Empress Yan looked out the window, and after re-stepping on her homeland, she seemed to have become resolute.

She didn't know where she got the courage to say what was next. "It was Handan who gave birth to me and raised me the courage that gave me." She thought to herself, in front of it, I have strength!

She Zhao Biren, from childhood to adulthood, is not a weak woman who is easy to get along with and can only cry!

Empress Yan hugged the third prince of Yan Kingdom who was dazed and ignorant in her arms, and said fiercely: "Ten years later, I will be the Empress Dowager of Yan Kingdom!" ”

PS: Chapter 3, why is this book not a sister's control article, and it still feels so good when it comes to my sister's role? Alas, it is rare to come to Beijing, and I went out at four o'clock to see the raising of the national flag.
