Princess Taikang is thirteen years old, Yuxue is smart, clever and painful, and everyone in the palace likes her. But today's Princess Taikang looks a little sad, she doesn't even go to Kunning Palace, she nests in Fengyang Pavilion all day, and she doesn't eat lunch, and the little palace maid is very scared, and she hurriedly goes to Kunning Palace to report to the Queen Mother.

Zhang Erzhen didn't see her little daughter for a day and was wondering, and when she heard that Princess Taikang didn't even eat, she got up and came to Fengyang Pavilion.

"Queen Mother, why are you here, it's too cold, you just call someone to spread the word. "It's too healthy, Zhang Erzhen only knew at a glance that this daughter had something on her mind. took her daughter's hand and returned to the warm floor and asked, "Why is Ah Rong in a bad mood, who made you angry?"

Taikang bit his lip and didn't want to speak, but the queen mother's eyes were too hot, and Taikang, who had persisted for a while, was defeated, "Queen mother, I heard what you said to the imperial brother, I don't want to recruit a horse, I don't want to recruit a horse, I want to be by your side." ”

Zhang Erzhen sighed and stroked the hair on her daughter's ear lovingly, "You heard it, the queen mother doesn't have to say it again, Ah Rong, you are thirteen years old, it's time to recruit a horse, and the queen mother doesn't let you marry right away, you have to live a few years......"

"Queen Mother, I don't want it, I want to be in the palace all the time. Taikang shook Zhang Erzhen's arm, coquettishly wanting to continue to lean on the shoulders of the queen mother.

Zhang Erzhen frowned tightly, and said, "You are no longer a child, Ah Rong, do you want to make the queen mother angry and embarrassed like this?"

Tai Kangne put down his hand, drooping his head and looking pitiful, "But...... , The royal brother is busy with government affairs all day long, the second imperial brother has also moved out as a family, the third imperial brother has traveled to the mountains and has not returned, and the queen mother is only by her side,...... , I want to accompany the queen mother...... I promised my father that I would accompany my mother. ”

Zhang Erzhen looked at her daughter distressedly, her thoughts, how could a mother not know. In this palace, it is too deserted, but ......, "Ah Rong, the queen mother is also going out of the palace." Your third brother wrote a letter saying that he was ready, just waiting for the queen mother to get up, that place in southern Yunnan...... , the queen mother still wants to see it. ”

Taikang raised his head suspiciously and asked, "What you said is true?" Then why don't you take Ah Rong with you, Ah Rong will also go, don't stay in the palace, Queen Mother, do you want to leave Ah Rong alone in the palace again?"

Zhang Erzhen smiled and took her daughter into her arms, "The queen mother is very selfish, your father is there, and the queen mother wants to accompany him." ”

Speaking of her father, Taikang calmed down and didn't speak again, she also missed her father, but she knew that no one missed her father more than her mother. For so many years, for them, the queen mother has stayed in this huge palace, cold and desolate. Now that she is older, do you really want the queen mother to guard them, stay here for the rest of her life?

"The third brother has ...... over the years"

"Yan'er has been guarding southern Yunnan and guarding your father's side. ”

Zhang Erzhen hugged her daughter's small shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Ah Rong is a good child who is empathetic, she is too selfish to be a mother.

Zhao'er is a qualified emperor, Xi'er is a powerful helper, Ah Rong, she has also reached the age of starting a family, what about her, there is nothing she can't let go, find a man who can take care of her future for Ah Rong, and she can leave the capital with confidence. She still doesn't like this big palace.

After a long time, Taikang nodded, nestled in the arms of the queen mother, she thought, she also wanted to find such a man, for the rest of her life, just like the queen mother and her father.

The emperor is going to choose a horse for Princess Taikang, and the entire Ming Dynasty is ready to move. Princess Taikang is impeccable in terms of identity and personality, who doesn't want Princess Shang. What? If you marry a princess, you can't be an official? The princess is not easy to serve? The princess has big rules? Is there any mistake, what you are talking about is an ordinary princess, proud and unreasonable, naturally it is not easy to serve, this is the princess Taikang, who can still reach this princess, it is almost a hundred rings on the grave of the ancestors.

But Princess Taikang seems to be very picky, and she began to choose a colt at the age of thirteen, and she still didn't find one to marry at the age of fifteen. Zhang Erzhen was not in a hurry, but the emperor was a little dissatisfied, carrying Taikang like a child, his eyes widened angrily, "What kind of one are you looking for, if you can't be civil, if you can't do martial arts, do you want the imperial brother to find you a field to plant rice?"

Taikang was even more aggrieved, with a stubborn face: "What is the imperial brother anxious about, the queen mother didn't say anything, is it only allowed that the imperial brother is allowed to find what he likes, and his sister is not allowed to find a favorite one." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at this girl with a headache: "How did you find it, you can't find it after looking for two years, are you deliberately dragging it? Ah Rong, why are you so ignorant." ”

Taikang's slender neck turned, unwilling to look at this eldest brother, and said in a thick nasal voice: "If I don't like it, I just won't marry." If the royal brother wants me to marry, go and ask the queen mother if she agrees. The queen mother said, if I don't want to, no one can say it. ”

"Okay, well, you have the support of the queen mother, I can't talk about you, but Ah Rong, what do you like, the royal brother will help you take a look." "Zhu Houzhao's greatest patience is to face this unreasonable imperial sister. He is not so patient with his own children!

Taikang hung his head helplessly, thought for a while and said, "Brother Huang, I want to go out of the palace for a walk." ”

"Go, go, don't let the queen mother worry about you. Zhu Houzhao left in a hurry, and the matter of finding a colt for Taikang had to continue.

Taikang wants to leave the palace, and he has always hidden it from Zhang Erzhen. This time was no exception, dressed up in disguise, and walked out of the palace smoothly with the token given by the royal brother. Taikang's usual route is to take a walk around the city, but this time he was in a bad mood, so he rode straight out of the city.

Princess Taikang, who was ecstatic all the way, naturally ended in disappointment, those men in the fields, wearing cyan cotton jackets and carrying shovels and shovels, followed by a few children with snot on their buttocks, she didn't like such people.

Taikang, who was walking back, rode fast, and it was getting dark, and she had to go back before the palace gate closed. Raising sand and dust all the way and galloping, Taikang tightened the horse's belly irritably, he knew that he wouldn't have run so far, he didn't do anything, he had to go back.

"Hey, that little brother, did you drop something?"

"Huh——!" Taikang turned around, and a man in brocade clothes on the side of the road was holding a gold-rimmed embroidered bag and beckoning to her.

"That's not mine. After Taikang finished speaking, he was about to continue to rush back, but the man had already run to the horse, stubbornly holding the embroidered bag and said: "It's yours, I see that it fell from you." ”

"I said it wasn't mine, I'm in a hurry, you get out of the way. "Taikang hit the horse's belly, the horse took a few steps to the left, and the man also took a few steps to the left.

"I said what's the matter with you, I said it wasn't mine, you get out of the way!"

"It's yours, I saw it, why don't you. The man stepped forward persistently.

Taikang tried his best to calm himself, and replied in a rough voice: "This brother, this is really not mine, as for whose it is, I don't know, I'm in a hurry to go home here, so I won't bother and say goodbye." ”

The man didn't listen, and before Taikang could react, the man had already stepped on the horse and sat behind Taikang, and his voice sounded behind Taikang's head: "Since you insist that this is not yours, then let's go to the yamen and ask, do you say it's okay?"

Taikang was angry, "Dengzi, hurry up and give me down!"

"Why did the little brother say this, he is also a man, so he doesn't have to mind. Driving——" The man transferred to the main guest, led the horse rope and kicked the horse's belly, and the horse carried two people to the direction of the capital.

"You are presumptuous! Do you know who I am, why don't you hurry up and give it to me!"

"Little brother don't be angry, after returning your embroidery bag, I will apologize. ”

"Are you a person with bad ears, I said it's not mine, it's not mine!"

"Whether it's yours or not, you still need to be cut off by the county magistrate. ”

"If you don't go down, I'll ...... I'm going to tell my big brother that he wants you to look good!"

"My brother is sincerely invited, and I am willing to visit my brother's house. ”

"You're a scoundrel!

"Thank you, little brother, for the compliment......"

Taikang rushed directly to the gate of the imperial city, raised his eyebrows defiantly, and jumped off the horse with his head raised, "How is it, boy, are you still going to go in with me?"

"Princess Taikang invited, it is better to be respectful than to obey her fate. "The man was calm.

Taikang was shocked, "You're not a poor boy in the field, so who are you, how do you know I'm a princess?"

"My name, Princess Taikang should be very familiar, Jiangnan Tang Zhan, I don't know if you have an impression?"

"How could it be your ?!!"

Taikang looked at the man with a fox-like smile, and wanted to look up to the sky and howl, Tang Zhan, how did he grow like this? That big fat man in Jiangnan, a pretty boy at this time?

"So, that embroidered bag is ......"

"That's right, it's mine. ”

"So, you waited for me there on purpose?"

"Naturally not, Ah Rong, isn't that ...... "As soon as the man raised his eyebrows, Taikang knew that the treacherous child was back!

Princess Taikang got married, and the whole world celebrated. Taikang said goodbye to his mother with tears in his eyes, and glared fiercely at the man who was smiling like a flower. Zhang Erzhen watched her youngest daughter get married, and her eyes were full of reluctance.

Zhu Youji, Ah Rong also found a man he liked, are you over there, can you see it.

A month after Princess Taikang got married, the Queen Mother set off for southern Yunnan. It was the beginning of August, the climate in southern Yunnan was still humid and muggy, Zhang Erzhen saw the tanned third son, and said with some distress: "Yan'er, you ...... , how did it become like this. "When I left the capital, I was still a white and strong young man......

Zhu Houyan smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, "Queen Mother, I'm just right like this, you are finally here, come and see the accommodation I have prepared for you, and make sure you like it." ”

It was a bamboo house, with a corner faintly peeking out under the shade of green bamboo, surrounded by gorgeous flowers, butterflies playing, and birds chirping.

"Queen Mother, you can't stay in this place for a long time, you still have to go back to the capital in winter, but the imperial brother has sent me a letter to tell me that I will bring you back safe and sound at that time. ”

Zhang Erzhen smiled and nodded, "It's all up to you." I didn't think I'd ever come here in my life......"

Zhu Houyan also ordered the people who were waiting to go down and prepare, and the surroundings were cleaned up, and the idle people were not allowed to approach.

Zhang Erzhen settled in this bamboo forest in southern Yunnan, woke up in the morning to listen to the birds, fell asleep at night with the sound of insects, and occasionally murmured to the mountain: "Zhu Youji, how are you doing in that world?" She has always believed that Zhu Youzhu lives in that world, and will live a full and happy life.

After such a month, after sending Zhu Houyan away, on a sunny afternoon, Zhang Erzhen climbed the mountain alone, ten years ago at this time, she saw off Zhu Youzhu here, time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, ten years......

“...... Your Majesty, your favorite Ah Rong married Tang Zhan of the Tang family in Jiangnan, you know that little fat man, I don't know if you remember, when I was a child, Ah Rong was most afraid of the little fat man who loved to bully her...... , Your Majesty, Yan'er also has a favorite girl, the second girl of the He family in Yizhou, he returned to Beijing to ask for a decree, and wants to marry according to his son...... , Your Majesty, and Zhao'er, I already have three children, and we are all grandfathers and grandmothers...... , and Xi'er, who is the farthest away from me, and the most worried about him, often has to go to the battlefield......"

"And you, how are you doing?"

"Me, I'm fine......"

As the sun set, Zhang Erzhen looked back in surprise and seemed to see Zhu Youzhu wearing a beige overalls, with neat short hair, eyebrows like paint, and eyes like stars, which was what she looked like in her dream.
