Lan Zeyun's heart trembled slightly, and he always felt that something was about to come out, so Bai Qing took a sip of wine before continuing

"The Sixth Princess. It seems to be called... Shangguan Qing, I heard that the long one is the one who overwhelmed the country and the city, and turned all living beings upside down......"

………………………………………

In the thirty-sixth year of the southern kite, in winter, the heavy snow is more than a month, it is three feet deep, the world is vast, and there is no dog barking on the road.

There was a lot of people in the South Kite Cheng Palace, and several little maids ran back and forth with water basins, and some water beads splashed out and fell on the snow-white snow, smearing a bright red.

Shangguan Zeming, the lord of the Southern Kite Kingdom, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, without the slightest relaxation between his eyebrows, and his eyes were full of worry!

Suddenly, a child's cry came from the inner hall, and the bloated grandmother ran out quickly, raised her eyebrows, and said to Shangguan Zeming

"Congratulations to the lord of the country, Madame gave birth to a white and pure princess!"

Shangguan Mingze was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to take the reward, but the person had already rushed into the inner hall despite the dissuasion.

There are three copper stoves in the inner hall of Chengde Palace, which are also burned with silver silk snow charcoal concocted for ten years, which is very easy to ignite, much warmer than ordinary charcoal fires, and will not produce smoke.

The furnishings in the house are extremely delicate and chic, which is enough to see the identity of the people in the house, and the status is definitely not low.

Shangguan Zeming hurriedly ran in, first stood in front of the stove to remove his own cold, and then carefully sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the two people on the bed, one big and one small.

Rui Ji's face was very haggard, there was still a layer of fine beads of sweat on her head, and her eyes were also red and swollen

"Lang Jun, I'm sorry, I didn't give birth to a sound prince and concubine for you... Shame on the southern kite. ”

Shangguan Zeming looked at the beautiful woman who was crying in the quilt, his heart had already turned into a puddle of clear water, and when he saw the well-behaved and sleeping child in Rui Ji's arms, his eyes became even softer

"Rui Ji, don't think about it, whether it's Chen'er or the little princess, I like it very much, they are all my children, just enjoy endless glory in the future, and they will never be bullied by anyone!"

Shangguan Zeming's harem has countless beauties, the mother Yao's kindness is thousands, the people support it, there are two princes, the second prince Shangguan Shu, the seventh prince Shangguan Qijun, the concubine Ling is a chaebol everyone, the family is strong, the rich side is a party, there is a son and a daughter, the fifth prince Shangguan Xingyun and the eldest princess Shangguan Yao, and the other miscellaneous are all favored concubines, only one person has been in the palace for seven years, and the grace has been prosperous for a long time.

Rui Ji entered the palace at the age of thirteen, originally Shangguan Zeming's companion and attendant, the two were childhood sweethearts, grew up together, and then the world changed greatly, Shangguan Zeming relied on his outstanding talent and strategy, conformed to the wishes of the people of Nan Kite, ascended the throne and became the new lord of Nan Kite, and changed the name of the country to Shangxuan.

Of course, the Yao family and the Ling family contributed a lot, in order to stabilize the foundation of the country, Shangguan Zeming immediately announced to the world that the Yao family was the mother monarch and the Ling family was the concubine.

But even so, the one who always accompanies Shangguan Zeming is always Rui Ji, the woman who has been by his side since he was unknown.

Rui Ji is also competitive, not only born beautiful, but also full of poetry and books, more than most men

is more ambitious, plus can sing and dance, and it is not unreasonable to be deeply loved.

Such a beautiful woman, although she is deeply jealous of the people in the harem, but because of the protection of the city lord, she doesn't dare to do too much.

It's just that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, in this cruel royal family, it was originally the law that mothers rely on their sons to be precious, but Rui Ji's first child was ten months pregnant, and she finally gave birth to a prince, but she was a cripple who couldn't land on her legs. Now she is finally pregnant with a healthy child again, and she is still a daughter.

Rui Ji looked at the sleeping child in her arms, and a wave of anger rushed straight out, if it weren't for Shangguan Zeming, she might have pinched her to death mercilessly...

Of course, Shangguan Zeming doesn't think so, there are too few princesses in the palace, and most of them marry and marry far away after the merger, so this little princess is quite popular with him.

"Rui Ji, you see that this child was born white and pure, tender and translucent, with straight and clear eyebrows and eyes, and in the future he must be a child who knows the principles of good and evil, and knows the world, not stained with mud, not into the dark, clear as a spring, and as clean as snow. It's better to call Shangguan Qing! What do you think? ”

The more Shangguan Zeming looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but reach out and poke Shangguan's tender white and moist face.

Rui Ji's mind didn't know where to wander at this time, and when she heard Shangguan Zeming's words, she just smiled perfunctorily, and nothing else. She doesn't love this child, and there is even a trace of hatred mixed with it, which is vividly reflected in Shangguan Qing's growing days.

When Shangguan Qing was seven years old, he knew that he had an older brother, but because Rui Ji was delicate and had no way to take care of her, he had to be sent to a cold side hall in the most remote north of the palace for repair.

Shangguan Qing was naturally curious, and took advantage of the fact that the palace people were not paying attention, sneaked out of Chengde Palace, and ran north with two short little thick legs......

Of course, the final result was that she couldn't remember the road and ran to the wrong place, ran all the way to the palace of the second prince, was hit by the Yao family, and knelt for two hours for not abiding by women's morality.

It was getting dark, and Rui Ji reluctantly came to the Shuntian Palace where the Yao family lived to receive people.

Yao's naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, and educated Rui Ji fiercely, not taking proper care of her, not knowing how to teach her daughter or anything, Rui Ji was angry, and finally dragged Shangguan Qing and went to Chengde Palace.

Shangguan Qing's whole body was aching when he was kneeling, and he was lifted up suddenly, the bones on his body rattled, and the pain drilled his heart, along the way, Rui Jisheng pulled hard, and a layer of skin had already been worn out on his knees, and there were blood stains that penetrated his clothes, leaving two big blood marks.

When she arrived at Chengde Palace, Rui Ji didn't have a good face, threw Shangguan Qing to the ground, continued to kneel, and took the others into the house.

That night, somehow, the originally cloudless weather, suddenly the dark clouds were dense, and then there were bursts of thunder and lightning and wind! Several palace lamps standing outside were blown out, and it was pitch black!

Shangguan Qing felt extremely frightened, and when there was a thunder in the sky, she felt a sigh in her heart. As soon as the lightning flashed, her whole body trembled, and the wind made a sound, and there was an extra layer of cold sweat on her back!

However, it rained heavily in an hour, and Shangguan Qing didn't know the pain in his knees for a long time, so he crawled forward vigorously, crying in fear in the rain, miserable and miserable, and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

But inside the house

The people didn't seem to hear the movement outside, and the house was brightly lit and full of singing. Rui Ji lies on her side on the couch and sings along with the singers of the Orchestra. Happy, warm and harmonious.

Shangguan Qing was tired of shouting, so he had to sit on the ground, bury his head between his knees, and cry in a low voice, and later, the voice became smaller and smaller, and he could hardly be heard. In the huge courtyard of Chengde Palace, it was dark, the rain was pouring down, and there was only a small thin figure, tightly curled into a ball. Between heaven and earth, there was no support, only weak shoulders twitching back and forth, proving that she was a living creature.

Since that day, Shangguan Qing has a high fever that does not go away, his whole body is hot, he is stupid, and although he is asleep, he is still unstable. The frown was basically never loosened.

After Shangguan Zeming found out, he immediately hurried over after getting out of the court, and when he saw the little man with a haggard face on the bed, he was very distressed, and immediately became furious, and summoned Rui Ji to inquire carefully about the reason.

Rui Ji naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, only said that Shangguan Qing took advantage of the maid's inattention and sneaked out to play, but accidentally entered the Shuntian Palace and disturbed the second prince's schoolwork. The mother was furious and punished her for kneeling for two hours, presumably because her skin and flesh were bitter, and her body could not support it, so she fell ill.

Shangguan Zeming was furious and ordered someone to choose the Yao family's right to be in charge of the harem and give it to the Ling family. First, it can be regarded as a punishment for her unkindness to her mother, and it is also necessary to let her discipline her son well, so that it can be counted.

Shangguan Qing's illness is a long time, at first Shangguan Zeming also came to visit every day, but later he was busy with government affairs and couldn't leave, so he asked someone to ask two sentences every day.

It wasn't until two months later that there were signs of improvement. However, after the illness, Shangguan Qing was completely like a different person, although he still had a smile on his face, chatting and laughing with others, but it always made people feel that he couldn't really get close, as if he was separated by a barrier.

Because although she is a girl, she is deeply loved by Shangguan Zeming, so Rui Ji has strictly disciplined Shangguan Qing since she was a child. At the age of three, she was forced to read, and at the age of five, she was forced to write poetry. Get up every morning and rest, work and rest strictly, learn poetry and book etiquette every day, send it to the horse farm every other day to ride a horse and shoot arrows, or throw it to the maid, and practice female red embroidery. But if you don't do a good job, you will be severely punished.

In short, Shangguan Qing has never felt the slightest warmth in Rui Ji, except when Shangguan Zeming is there, she will pretend a little, and on weekdays, she only thinks that Shangguan Qing is a tool used to curry favor with the city lord. Over time, the people in the Chengde Palace also saw the wind and steered, and beat and scolded Shangguan Qing openly and secretly, and it was completely inappropriate for her to be a master.

These, before the encounter at the age of seven, Shangguan Qing never resisted at all, perhaps because she had been like this since she was a child, although she sometimes felt wronged, but she only thought about it secretly in her heart, and she didn't dare to say it at all, let alone resist.

However, after the serious illness, Shangguan Qing's brain seemed to suddenly become bright. On weekdays, if she encounters a maid who bullies herself, although she is silent as in the past, she begins to slowly retaliate behind her back, using small means. After doing this once or twice, everyone knew in their hearts that they would no longer dare to despise her.

In this way, in the entire Chengde Palace, except for Rui Ji, no one dared to bully her anymore, and even a little scared, although Shangguan Qing felt lonely, but his life was much more leisurely and relaxed. After a long time, immersed in mental arithmetic methods for a long time, Shangguan Qing's eyes gradually became dull and cold, and they were no longer clear.

All that, on a breezy afternoon, changed.
