Chapter Seventy-Five: The Past Is Like Smoke
I can't remember when it was, but I just remember that at that time I was still one of the most inconspicuous princes among the many princes of the Xuanyuan clan, and I heard the elders of the clan say that the princess of Xiling Kingdom found a kind of clothing, which is made of silk, which is not only tough, but also lightweight, woven into clothes, cool in hot weather, warm in winter, and very comfortable to wear. This wise princess also caught silkworms home to feed, and gradually mastered the skills of raising silkworms and the skills of reeling silk and weaving, and taught these unreservedly to the people of Xiling Kingdom, since then, the people of Xiling Kingdom no longer need to wear tree bark, animal skin, but wear beautiful and light silk.
I still remember that at that time, the news of the invention of silkworm weaving by the ancestor quickly spread all over the land of China, it is said that the princes of Dongyi and Nanyue came to Xiling in a swarm to ask for marriage, and at that time, as one of the many princes who had not yet married the prince of the right age, he also led his father's order to ask for marriage.
I remember that at that time, I was also a little resistant, after all, I was young and frivolous, and I always thought that I deserved the best, but when I walked to Xiling, I saw a woman in red dancing under the tree......
The woman walked from the dream like an elf, sometimes raising her wrists and low eyebrows, sometimes lightly soothing her hands, the slender Luo Yi fluttered in the wind, and the long sleeves were crisscrossed left and right. The dance is so graceful and unhurried, and it is so wonderful, flowing water and clouds like dragons flying like phoenixes, it is really difficult to describe in words.
His heart also seemed to fly with it, and at that time, he had even decided that no matter who this woman was, no matter how much pressure he had to bear, he must bring her back to Xuanyuan.
Maybe it's the favor of God, or maybe it's the certainty in the dark, the smart and delicate woman was finally married back to Xuanyuan by herself, since then, her life has become a smooth road, and none of her brothers has the strength to shake their position, with the support of Xiling, with the favor of their father, how easy it is to get their throne......
During that period of time, I had to sigh with satisfaction how smooth my life was. It's just that the happy days don't seem to last long, and unconsciously, Xuanyuan embarked on the road of expansion. In order to recover Fang Lei's family, he married the women's festival, for the Tongyu family, he married Canglin, and in order to get the spinning wheel for winding silk and the loom for weaving silk, he married his mother-in-law.
I vaguely remember that when I married on Women's Day, my ancestor also cried, what was my reaction at that time? I vaguely remember that I seemed to have impatiently reprimanded her for not knowing the general situation...... Perhaps from that time on, it seemed that the ancestor was no longer the woman she liked in red, she put on black clothes and wrapped herself heavily, under the still young face, it seemed to hide an old heart, and she gradually alienated her. Is it because of busy business or because of a group of wives and concubines, I don't remember the specific reasons, but it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that I have received the support of Xiling, and now Changyi has married the daughter of the Shushan clan, Changfu, and has been supported by the Shushan clan.
Thinking of this, the Yellow Emperor seemed to feel that there was nothing in this world that could stop him, and the loneliness and emptiness that quietly surfaced in his heart without time became insignificant.
"Teach your daughter well! If I hear anything that I shouldn't hear, I think you know the consequences!" The Yellow Emperor stared coldly at his wife, "Yu's courtship team is almost there, and when the wedding date of the concubine arrives, I will naturally open the enchantment, before that, you can stay here honestly......" After speaking, the Yellow Emperor's body gradually disappeared, as if nothing had happened before......
There seemed to be a heavy aura rippling in the air, overwhelming the two of them even breathless......
"Queen Mother......" Xuanyuan looked at her mother standing in front of her in despair, her face pale without a trace of blood.
As if the last strength had been drained, the ancestor turned back with difficulty, looking at his daughter, the deep pupils were full of wind and clouds, it turned out that he didn't even have the strength to protect his daughter......
The day of the wedding has finally arrived, and this day, no matter how desperate it is, but it still does not stop its footsteps......
Because it is the marriage of the two great gods, it is extraordinary, before January, the Yellow Emperor decorated the Xuanyuan Hill into a scene of flowers, the whole Xuanyuan Hill is like a sea of flowers, the dazzling sea of flowers exudes an intoxicating atmosphere, like pieces of colorful clouds spread between the slopes, layer by layer......
At this moment, the whole clan is full of joy, as if all the clansmen know that today is the happy event of their own princess, so the whole clan is working hard to decorate it, hoping to touch the joy of the princess, not to mention, the love between the prince and the princess is what the world expects.
It's just that all this joy and busyness has nothing to do with Xuanyuan Concubine.
At this time, Xuanyuan was surrounded by beads, and under the eyes of everyone, she was kept putting on makeup and changing clothes by the maids, and she was very busy.
Through the window lattice, looking at the trees on the hillside outside the window, standing or leaning in the intricate petals, the wind across the branches with a group of flying and scattered fleeting powder rain, but, no matter how beautiful the petals are, they are just like their own destiny, they have long been scattered to the end of the world, just like the petals raised by the wind, I don't know where to go and where to go. It turns out that the withering of the remnants of the flowers is also a kind of pain, and the sadness flows, but it can't hide the mottled years and burn out the elegance......
It's just that even this moment of tranquility is destined to be broken......
"Mother, princess. The voice of the maid came from beside her, waking Xuanyuan up in deep thought.
"What's the matter?" the ancestor leaned on the wide chair seat, staring at his daughter's lonely figure, his expression was filled with heavy heartache, and when he heard the sound of the report, he turned his gaze and replied lightly.
"Tongyu Niangniang and Fang Lei Niangniang ask to meet, please show me......" The maid lowered her head deeply, pressed her arms on the hem of her skirt, and looked respectful.
"Please let them in!" the ancestor sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Sister is overjoyed, princess is overjoyed!" However, before the ancestor's words fell, he suddenly heard a crisp laugh and giggle like a silver bell that had reached the door.
The delicate crystal brocade curtain was lifted high, and the sound of the beads hitting was crisp, accompanied by the trivial footsteps and the slightly sharp congratulatory sound turned to the eyes, like a life-urging charm hitting the hearts of the two of them.
Xuanyuan Yu looked up, and saw that the Tongyu clan and Fang Lei clan had already walked into the door under the service of the left and right maids, presumably, today is specially dressed up, the first Tongyu clan is wearing a crimson flower palace dress, covered with a layer of gold yarn, the wide hem is rusted with gold wire, and there is a tired silk inlaid treasure bead golden phoenix hairpin on the head, trembling slightly, lining with a dignified charm, and Fang Lei's who is one body behind, wearing a light purple silk double cloud goose palace dress, three thousand green silk only with a meticulous carving plum hairpin, light lead, between the eyebrows there is a Wushan cloud-like elegant atmosphere。
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they looked at Xuanyuan Concubine, looking at her bright makeup at the moment, her eyes were filled with deep indifference, but, after all, she was in front of everyone, even if she pretended to be virtuous and generous, these were naturally very skillful for the two of them.
"Sister said hello to my sister! Say hello to my sister!" The two of them were slightly blessed, and they didn't care about the hostility that flickered faintly in Xuanyuan Concubine's eyes, so they had already stepped forward and grabbed Xuanyuan Concubine's hand.
Xuanyuan Concubine smiled faintly, withdrew her hand without a trace, and said lightly: "Thank you two princesses for your concern! The two princesses are busy with affairs, and they are also worried about the marriage of the concubine, which is really the unfilial piety of the concubine." ”
"Where is this princess! Today is the day of our Princess Xuanyuan's great joy, even if our sisters have a big matter, they have to let go!" The two naturally knew Xuanyuan's thoughts, and the hostile situation between the two sides had become a situation for many years, so naturally it was not possible to let go overnight, and besides, he had already regarded it as a thorn in the flesh in his side, if it wasn't for the situation, how could he have been willing to come! So, although they were coldly facing each other, there was no anger between their eyebrows.
"Concubine, this is the concubine who has prepared makeup for you!" Saying that, Tong Yu looked behind him, beckoned slightly, and saw the maid behind him rushing in, opening the boxes in her hands one by one, and for a while, the room was full of jewels and dazzling.
However, in the face of so many treasures, Xuanyuan didn't even raise her head, even a smile to deal with was inadequate. For a while, both the Tongyu clan and Fang Lei's faces were a little ugly.
The two exchanged a look, and a little resentment flashed in their eyes, but they pressed it down, after all, at this time, Xuanyuan Concubine is not only Xuanyuan's princess, but also Shennong's crown princess, and what's more, she will be the queen of Shennong in the near future, even if she is her own princess, it is difficult to compare with it.
Seeing the faces of the two, a wave of anger rose in his heart, although he was already unwilling to get involved in the battle of the harem, however, it was not without the ability to protect himself, the two have always regarded themselves as mortal enemies, but they could not shake their position at all, so they have always been tossed by the two, and at this time, when it comes to their daughter, they have touched their own scales, and slowly walked down, gently stroking their hands on their daughter's shoulders, soothing their daughter's anger.
"Mother, Concubine!" Before the ancestor could say the words of expulsion, the voice of the servant came from outside the hall, and the voice was smooth and delicate, revealing the cheerful temperament of the servant. Although this Chang servant married Changyi early, however, perhaps because he married his beloved, the cheerfulness of his temperament was still not consumed in this solemn and dull palace.
"It turns out that a few princesses are also there, and the servants are polite!" "The servants smiled, with a clarity that was incompatible with the royal family, "It's just that my sister's marriage is cumbersome, and I have neglected several princesses, and I hope the princess will forgive me for the mistaken care!"
"It turned out that the Chang servant had arrived!" Tong Yu's face darkened, and as soon as the Chang servant entered the door, he was busy with marriage, but it seemed that his princesses were superfluous outsiders, and immediately divided the relationship clearly. It's just that he can't find fault with it, and besides, the status of this Chang servant is already noble, and behind him is the entire Shushan clan, he really can't be easily offended, and for a while, he didn't dare to act too much, and he responded coldly to a few words, and then left under the pretext, and finally returned this hall to a little peace.
