The cold wind of the winter night whistled and blew, and the snow on the maple forest fell on the oil-paper umbrella.

The guard in light armor stood beside her with his back straight, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, this place is very cold, let's leave quickly." ”

The eldest princess's health is getting worse and worse today, she is always frowning and worried, the guard waited for a long time after saying this, but did not find that the other party had any movement, raised her head to look at the beautiful person beside her, only to see that two lines of tears fell on her fair and soft face.

"Your Highness?" Even he didn't notice it, and there was a hint of panic in his voice.

The eldest princess held the blessing card in her hand tightly, took a deep breath and said softly: "Bengong and Cheng'an met under this tree, the tree has grown taller, and there are more and more blessing cards on it, but that person is ......"

She still remembers that it was the morning of the first day of September, and the weather after the cold dew, with a slight frost, made people feel a little wet and cold. Her younger brother has ascended the throne as the emperor of Daqi, and she has jumped from a carefree girl to an eldest princess. The strictness of the palace is suffocating, and the courtier's eight-sided exquisiteness makes people uneasy, she has to hide her innocent face and is forced to grow into an adult who can't see emotions or even takes charge alone.

After a long time, the mask became real, and she really became a woman with a hypocritical face in her heart. At this time, she and the emperor were at odds with each other, and the rumors of mutual suspicion had become known to the imperial court.

Her Majesty is jealous of her, and she is doing everything she can to protect herself.

Leaving the chaotic court, there is only one place where she can feel at ease, and the eldest princess will go to the red maple temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings on the first day of every month. Pilgrims like to come to the maple forest in the backyard after incense to write prayer signs, the price of a wooden sign is not cheap, but it still does not affect people's flock to it.

The wind forest outside was basically full, and the eldest princess walked into the deepest part of the maple forest. There is a small maple tree with not too lush foliage.

It looked short and sparse, contrasting strongly with the other maple trees next to it, but for some reason it made the eldest princess feel close at a glance, and she stepped forward to hang up the prayer card she had just written.

His wooden sign says he wants to vent, but he can't tell anyone. Only here can I dare to pour it out, after all, no one knows anyone.

But at this moment, her eyes fell on the sign hung last month, when she happened to be reprimanded by the Queen Mother for refusing to make peace, and her heart was depressed, so she wrote on the prayer card: "Why do people in the world want to get married, isn't it happy to be free." ”

She just wrote casually, but a line of beautiful handwriting appeared directly below, "The two of them are more alive when they look at the long flow of water in the world." ”

For some reason, the eldest princess was rarely angry as if she had been poked in her heart, so she threw away the sign she had just hung up and rewrote one, "Don't be ashamed, could it be that you have been married?" ”

When she finished writing this, she was very happy, how could this guy who didn't have long eyes dare to talk back to herself, and the water flowed for a long time? Jolly? Her father and mother are childhood sweethearts, but they can't compete with the passage of time, and her father accepts one concubine after another, and she sees with her own eyes that the dignified face of the queen mother is full of loneliness and sadness.

Her father is the greatest man in this country, and even he can't give happiness to his mother, so who can give himself happiness? Not long ago, her good imperial brother found a family affair, and the object was the emperor of another country. But Jun and the eldest princess knew that once they got married, they would also face the end of not being alone with many women, and the emperor just wanted to break up with himself.

She is unwilling, and does not want to be an accessory to the power trade, and is even more reluctant to live in this country that has lived for so many years.

That night, the eldest princess didn't sleep well, and came to the Red Maple Temple with a carriage and horse early in the morning. She walked to the maple tree where she hung the sign, just below the prayer card written yesterday, and sure enough, a small line appeared: "I have never married a wife, but I see what is written in the book." ”

Could it be that this unreasonable person wrote it after she was gone? He wrote that he had never married a wife, and that he should have been a young man.

The eldest princess looked at the words on it and sneered, "I haven't been married, what are you talking nonsense there?" It's just a matter of reading a few books and daring to come to teach this palace.,It's really boring.。 ”

There are many ways for her to find out this person, such as letting the shadow guards and others directly tie people down here; For example, show your identity and let Hongfengguan hand over people's names; As long as the person is found, he can send someone to beat him up, so that she can never say such childish and ridiculous words again.

The eldest princess thought a lot in her heart, but in the end she didn't do anything, but just wrote under the small print, "Nonsense." "This nerd, you have to believe the stories in the book.

After writing these two words, the eldest princess was in a good mood, and even slept a lot at night, and when she came back from the palace the next day, the shadow guard reported that the emperor's person appeared in Hongfeng Temple.

Thinking of this, she walked towards the Taoist temple without hesitation. I don't know if it's for the emperor's people or the secret in the maple forest.

When she appeared in the backyard, under the red maple, the wooden sign was deserted, and no one responded to her.

I don't know why she suddenly felt lonely. Then he laughed self-deprecatingly, this person is probably just bored and teasing himself casually.

It's just that I don't know why. The loneliness in her heart gradually spread, disturbing her whole person and unable to do it herself.

For four days in a row, Jun and the eldest princess went there, but there was still only their own handwriting on the wooden plaque.

This man, like a gust of wind, came inexplicably, and then quietly disappeared. The cool autumn breeze blew through the hollow in my heart.

The eldest princess knew that she had some scruples about herself since her younger brother ascended the throne, because when her father died, she gave the emperor the land of the world, but gave her military power.

Qilin and Bai Ze must protect Daqi together. One is indispensable.

Although the two are still peaceful on the surface, the love of the same root has long changed.

The emperor wanted to marry himself to another country, so that he could receive the military power in his hands. In order to dispel the worries in his heart, he did not hesitate to marry his imperial sister to a 60-year-old man.

And how can he do what he wants? After all, they are twins, and they know what they are thinking when they move their fingers.

Raising his head, he looked at the wooden sign hanging from the tree, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer. These are all signs that he deliberately made for the emperor to see, and every word was written indiscriminately by himself.

He wanted the emperor to know that he was still the sentimental girl, or the eldest sister who was powerless. In fact, everything is fake, it's all an arranged script, but only that person returned to himself below.

In fact, he doesn't have to come over himself, the shadow guard will bring back all the news. It's just that he still doesn't give up, and wants to wait for news from that person.

That night, the shadow guard sent to investigate this man, because it did not disappoint him.

The bold man is the second son of the courtier Li Yuan, Li Cheng'an, an idle person, who stays at home all day and doesn't do anything serious.

The eldest sister married the prime minister, and the third brother took the daughter of the Taifu. He is the only one, so old, he has not yet married a wife. I'm going to read those marginal scripts every day.

And I haven't been out for the past few days because I'm sick.

Anyone who thinks of a big man can be born for so long if he is sick. It's really useless. But for some reason, there is a hint of happiness in my heart, at least the person didn't come on purpose, right?

On the fifth day, the eldest princess came back from the queen mother's place, and after leaving the palace, she stopped for a moment on the way to the princess's mansion, and then turned around and walked towards the red maple temple.

For the last time.

is still comforting herself in her heart, if there is no news this time, then she will never come again, and life will go on.

On the tree where her token was hung in the aisle, she stretched out her hand and turned the wooden sign over, and was thrilled when she saw a new line of beautiful small words appear at the bottom. It's almost going to swing out.

"It's not nonsense, my sisters and brothers are married, and they are very affectionate."

She didn't even notice it, the corners of her mouth cracked open and she laughed directly, but she was afraid that the guards next to her would see something abnormal, so she wrote on the sign, "Nonsense, men are liars." ”

She writes casually, but also tentatively. Until the night, I was thinking over and over again, how would this Li Chengan return to himself?

On the seventh day, she came to the Red Maple Temple again and saw a new prayer sign hanging on the tree, which wrote sonorously and powerfully, "I am not bad, don't be prejudiced." ”

Burst! This guy ......

Through the wooden sign, the eldest princess seemed to be able to see that this person was frowning and looking unhappy. She wanted to tease him, so she wrote, I have never seen you, I don't know if it's true or not.

On the eighth day, the man replied, "Tomorrow here and tomorrow, I will wait for you, and I will not see you or leave you." ”

I'll wait for you, see you or leave.

He was asking himself to meet, and the eldest princess touched her heart, which seemed to beat more powerfully.

Before dawn, Junhe got up early, thinking about what clothes to wear, she couldn't reveal what her identity was, so too expensive clothes were inappropriate. It's not good to be too thin, after all, that brand is a hundred and one taels.

Ordinary people, where can they afford such an expensive brand, and there are so many hangings.

Li Chengan's father is Li Yuan, who is considered an important minister in the court. So naturally she can't say that she is the daughter of a courtier. In the end, she thought about it and had to make up a statement that her family was in business.

I haven't been so excited for a long time, and she even lightly put on makeup, which is the most popular nowadays, light and generous, which is suitable for a woman with a good foundation like her.

When he was about to go out, the shadow guard came to report to him, saying that the emperor was about to send someone to the eldest princess to the palace, and that is, yesterday, the emperor's people went to see Li Chengan.

The smile on Jun He's face disappeared instantly, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had been dug up.

She played in the Red Maple View, and her emperor also accompanied her.

The two of them can always think of each other's thoughts.

Not long after, sure enough, someone from the palace came to invite him into the palace, and he was going to play a full set of acts, and the eldest princess boarded the carriage and drove towards the palace with a blank face.

The majestic palace is always overwhelming, but she is not afraid, she has no scruples about being alone, as long as the emperor is not excessive, then she will not do anything.

In the palace of the Son of Heaven, the young emperor was in high spirits, looked at her condescendingly and said with a smile: "Sister Huang, are you here?" ”
