Chapter 1: Red and White Affairs
In the winter of the seventeenth year of Youning in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a new heavy snow in Kyoto, and the Qionglou Yuyu was wrapped in silver, which was a rare good scenery in a year.
Princess Ning Rong Yu, who had been sick for half a year, told her maid to open the window, although she was sick, she also wanted to see this snowy scene.
Mama stopped the little maid, bent down to tuck the quilt for Rong Yu, and gently persuaded her: "Niangniang, your body can never be cold anymore, if you really want to see it, the slave will let someone build a snow basin and bring it in for you to see, but that's it, wait until you get better......"
Rong Yu reluctantly stood up from the couch, picked up a handkerchief to cover his mouth, coughed a few times, turned his head to look at the closed carved window after Qi Shun, and sighed softly: "Where can the snow basin compare to the snow ...... outside?"
She was stunned for a while, turned her head to look at Mama, and said, "Mama, I especially want to see the snow today, so you will answer me, right?" ”
Mama subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw Rong Yu's sick appearance at this time, she couldn't say anything if she refused.
Who would have thought that the third lady from the Hou Mansion of Taining, who married into the heavenly family with red makeup for ten miles and became the concubine of King Ning, the sixth prince, is now only twenty-five years old, and has become like this?
Rong Yu looked at Mama's expression, smiled and comforted her: "Mama, if you don't speak, I'll take your acquiescence, help me change my clothes, I want to wear which ......"
Rong Yu thought seriously for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Take out the fire fox cloak that the eldest sister sent to someone last year, the red fox and white snow, there is nothing more appropriate!" ”
Infected by the joy revealed in Rong Yu's words, the corners of Mama's mouth also rose, and she read: "The things sent by the eldest lady are always the most satisfying to your heart", while turning around and walking towards the east to open the box and take the cloak.
Rong Yu looked at Mama's back with a smile, only to feel that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
This body is really useless......
Her vision became blurry, and in her drowsiness, many past events came to her mind:
When I was a child, the eldest sister commanded people to take snow in the back garden of the Hou Mansion and store the altar for the next year's tea, she was naughty, secretly put plum blossoms in the jar, and the maids had to open the altar and reload, the eldest sister was annoyed, grabbed her hand and hit the board, she cried and looked at her mother, but the mother was holding the second brother under the porch and laughing at her.
Later, the eldest sister married far away, and her father invited a female master to sit in the museum for her, the second sister, and the fourth sister, and taught them sisters to read, and also taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework.
The second sister is exquisite, and she learns everything, although the fourth sister is not talented, but she is studious and progressive, humble and courteous, but she is the only one who has neither talent nor progress, she is delicate and willful, and finally becomes a straw bag.
Daddy's accusations, Master's dislike, and the contempt and ridicule of others......
In the past, when I was young, I took those things so seriously, and I had to throw myself into my grandmother's arms and cry for a long time when I was a little wronged, but now that I think about it, what are those things?
Her second sister, the second lady Rong Ying of the Hou Mansion of Taining, looks better than the fairy, has a good belly, and has a rich net worth, surrounded by a number of doctors and knights, capable people and celebrities, but married to the third prince Duanwang as a concubine, in this snow season gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins, the Son of Heaven is overjoyed, personally gave the name, and congratulated the officials in front of the ......
Rong Yu used to be envious and jealous of her dazzling sister, and spent all her thoughts on competing with Rong Ying.
I fought for a lifetime, and I lost for a lifetime.
Competing for reading, Rong Ying's talent is famous all over the world, but she is a well-known straw bag among the nobles in Kyoto.
Fighting for a husband, after Rong Ying married the third prince, Qin Se and Ming, everyone envied her, she also worked hard to marry into the heavenly family, exhausted the means, embarrassed to marry the six princes, but the six princes spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, she was married for ten years, and drank ice for ten years.
The blood is cold early.
are both young ladies of the Marquis of Taining, and their four sisters have very different lives.
The same is true of the heavenly family.
The emperor is old, the crown prince died, the second prince was demoted, the fourth prince was disabled, the fifth prince died young, and the sixth prince had no intention of government.
At that time, Rong Ying, as the concubine of Duanwang, also had the eldest son of Duanwang and a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses......
Rong Yu thought about it, but he couldn't imagine what Rong Ying's lonely and cold appearance would look like after wearing a phoenix robe.
After all, it's decent and good-looking.
Rong Ying is always decent and good-looking.
At this time, Rong Yu thought of these things that made him feel uneasy every time he thought about them before, but his heart had no waves.
When it comes to life and death, everyone will understand that fame, wealth, status, and the things that the world is chasing and comparing are indeed empty.
In her life, she was born in a pile of wealth and splendor, but she competed with her sister and sister, and she was really confused.
At this time, her only regret was that as a woman, she couldn't have a child of her own.
She married into the Ning Wangfu for ten years, in order to have a child, she secretly asked someone to buy love medicine from the woman in Fireworks Willow Lane, and put it in the tea of the six princes, so that she had a round house and a child.
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, not only did the news of her drug leak out, causing her to be ruined, but even the child in her womb was forcibly poured with abortion medicine by the six princes.
She didn't care what people outside said about her, she only felt sorry for her child who died before she was formed.
Ten years of loneliness, and after this great mourning, her body finally completely withered, bleeding after a small birth, so small half a year, now there is a momentum of running out of oil and lamps.
In the hazy vision, Mama walked towards her with a dazzling red cloak, just like when she was fourteen years old, she put on her wedding dress at the best age, and married into King Ning's mansion with pride, shyness and longing......
Rong Yu slowly closed his eyes, as if he heard the sound of snow falling outside the window.
A line of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she thought sadly, big sister, in the next life, I will never fight with others again.
The delicate hand warmer fell to the ground with a screeching sound.
The frost-white grandmother knelt down in front of the couch and cried bitterly, and the little maid ran out in a panic to find someone to report.
In the same palace, unlike the deserted courtyard of Rongyu in the east, a pair of men and women in brocade clothes in the west courtyard are standing side by side under the eaves to watch the snow, and also look at a pair of children laughing and having snowball fights in the courtyard.
is so warm, and the cold winter has also reduced a little bleak.
The little maid trembled and knelt down at the man's feet and reported: "Lord, the princess has just gone." ”
The princess went to ......
Hearing this, the expression on the man's face did not change, and he lightly explained to the woman beside him: "Send someone to the Taining Marquis Mansion to deliver the letter...... As for the funeral, she has a loss of morality, and all funeral matters are simple and fast. ”
The woman answered, and asked, "Do you still need to send a letter to Duanwang's mansion?" Princess Duan and the one in our house are sisters after all......"
The man interrupted the woman's words, and his tone became soft: "Princess Duan...... She is still in confinement, but she is just an insignificant person, so don't bother her to recuperate. ”
The woman nodded, and waved her hand to let the little maid retreat: "You go back to the east courtyard first." ”
The little maid retreated from the west courtyard and walked towards the east courtyard in despair.
She entered the palace this year, and when she entered the palace, she was waiting in the east courtyard.
It is said that a rough maid like her is not qualified to serve the nobles closely, but something seems to have happened in the East Courtyard, and the former big maids around the master Niangniang have been sent down, and there are only a few rough little girls like her and Niangniang's grandmother who have served recently.
I don't know what the master Niangniang did in the past, which made the prince so displeased, and even she didn't want to see her for the last time......
The prince said that the master is an insignificant person......
The little maid walked dazedly in the snow, and before she knew it, tears flowed down her face.
Master, Niangniang, even if she looks at the snow and leaves......
