After the New Year, Rose will be eighteen.

In this county king's mansion, but the neat girl who was born will be sent out to marry someone as soon as she reaches fourteen, if she is not a person in the courtyard of the county king, she will not be able to stay now with her watery appearance.

Unexpectedly, no matter how crazy it was in the palace, the king of the county not only did not marry a wife, but there was no concubine in the connecting room, and although Rose took care of the king's daily life every day, she never got close to the king of the county.

People say that the county king Guo Zhifeng is suave and clean, which is really rare in the world, and Rose is as beautiful as a flower, but she can abide by her duty, which is also the blessing of the county king.

In May, the princess of the county canonized by the emperor finally entered the palace, and the happy events that had been discussed for many years were settled, and many people wanted to see who the girl of the Chu family was, who could stand out among the girls and get the emperor's finger marriage.

But when I really saw this princess of the county, everyone in the palace couldn't help but be disappointed, why did everyone from Xiyue City show off their beauty, and they were not as good as a personal girl next to the county king? It's good-looking, but compared to Rose, it's really different.

Everyone wants to see what will happen to Rose, what the county princess thinks, and most importantly, what the county princess has planned.

Reasonable, unexpectedly, Xiang'an has been quiet for nearly half a year, and there is no excitement at all in this county king's mansion, and everyone can't help but nod their heads and praise, not only because of the temperament of the county king, but also the temperament of the princess of the county, and even Rose, who is worthy of being taught by the county king.

But that winter, the princess Chu Cailing's personal girl Pear Blossom suddenly jumped into the well, and when she was fished out, she had no human appearance in a floating bag, naked all over her body, and was covered with scars, the scene was really shocking.

But if you report to the official, it is a family ugly, and if you don't report to the official, it is an unjust case, so it is better to cover it up and keep a little face. In this mansion, as long as it can be covered, it is the ancestral rituals that are fulfilled.

In the second year, the prince was born, and there was a flash flood in Bell Town, Chu Cailing didn't remember what the name of the forest she had passed by, and the rumors spread into the county king's mansion, she was at a loss, but she was helpless, thinking that the county king should think of a way to solve it, and the pear rui next to her suddenly hanged herself.

No one knows why, but this county palace seems to have been really calm for too long, and if a stone falls into it, it will no longer be the original county palace.

The king of the county is gone, and I heard that a lot of rare things came to Salo Harbor and took away his soul.

Chu Cailing's problems in the confinement have not been cured yet, and this mind has begun to think about it again. She definitely thinks that the king of the county is clean and self-conscious in the palace, not close to women, it turns out that it is all fake, it seems that the old saying is good, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing.

Rose could clearly feel that the princess's attitude towards herself had changed, from the estrangement and strangeness at the beginning, to the current dislike and contempt, as if she was a wall between everyone's remarks and the county king, one side was new, and the other was dirty. She could also feel that the princess of the county began to hate the princess of the county, and that hatred was the fall after complete trust.

Ay... A good county king's mansion, just because of the silence of the county king, like an exploding flower, no matter where it falls, it can cause an unquenchable fire, and this fuse, the county princess is impatient, so she is on Rose, who looks the most stable, but is the most dislike.

......

Two years later, the county king, who was away from home every day, brought back a singer, which was extremely polite, in the place where the fish and dragons were mixed, how could a girl with a beautiful appearance and a harmonious family show up?

This girl named Awen has changed her name to Wen Qing since she entered the mansion, she is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent, as soon as she heard the origin of the word "Qing", Chu Cailing did not close her eyes for two days, she did not hate this girl for not being honest, but hated the county king's inconsistency, and she didn't even have the courage to be a hypocrite.

Rose also persuaded her that it was normal for the eunuchs to have three wives and four concubines, let alone the king of the county? Chu Cailing slapped her, moved out of the courtyard of the county king, and before leaving, asked her to be by her side, at that time, the subordinates of the palace said that Wen Qing was really vicious, and he left the princess angrily when he came, and the county king was really not like it, even if the princess's mother and son were not auspicious, they should not fall into the well like this.

This feud can be regarded as settled, in fact, both of them are the women of the county king, as long as the county king opens his mouth to reconcile, how much conflict can there be, but the county king doesn't care, since Wen Qing entered the mansion, the number of times the county king has come back has become less and less.

Chu Cailing has Rose to take care of, and the people in the palace still respect her as the princess of the county more or less, but Wenqing is pitiful, she is changing her toss and looking for trouble, but she has let Rose block her back.

Until that day, the king of the county came back from outside, saying that he wanted to give Wen Qing a name, Chu Cailing completely broke out, she couldn't bear to stab the hypocrisy of the king of the county, and even wrote a complaint to sue him! But all the methods have been lost, just like God is on Wen Qing's side. Chu Cailing was disheartened and left with cherry peaches.

Naturally, Wen Qing became the princess of the county, and the first thing she did was to bring Rose to her side, but in a few months, Rose, who was originally beautiful and unparalleled, lost a few laps of weight, not to mention, and even her appearance changed, as if she was more than ten years old.

But it is impossible to say that Wen Qing treats Rose harshly, because she is the king of the county in her heart, and she is even more good to the people around the king of the county, and even her son Guo Zhaoyang, who Chu Cailing did not take away, she treats it as her own.

In the past few years, slowly, the remarks in the house have changed, it is nothing more than Chu Cailing's small belly and chicken intestines, Wen Qing endures humiliation and repays grievances with virtue, and Rose tends to be inflammatory, stepping on low and praising high, and has suffered retribution.

......

In the forty-ninth year of the white calendar, Guo Zhaoyang was eleven years old, and on the first day of the second month, in order to participate in the year-end assessment, he hurried back from Xiyue City.

The palace was lit up with lights, gongs and drums, and Rose told him that it was to prepare for the Dragon Head Festival, but Yu Ke told him that it was to celebrate Wen Qing's pregnancy.

At noon that day, about half of the people in the city came to the county king's mansion for dinner, in order to hide quietly, Guo Zhaoyang took Yu Ke to a quiet hugging house, this place was specially arranged by Rose, and the other houses, even Guo Zhaoyang's yard, were full of guests.

Yu Ke hadn't seen Guo Zhaoyang for a long time, and he kept talking excitedly, even Guo Zhaoyang was a lot happier, sharing the new things in Xiyue City, talking about his troubles in the imperial palace, and his envy for the emperor's eighth son, Fengmi.

Rose hadn't actually gone far, she could hear it clearly outside.

Yu Ke's voice was the most crisp, he said a lot of questions about Xiyue City, and finally asked: "What does the eighth son of the emperor look like?" You went there a few times and didn't speak, but this time you got your wish, but how can I see that you are still unhappy! ”

"I'm not upset, it's just ... His Royal Highness is so good, compare with him. Hey, how dare I compare with His Highness? His Royal Highness is high, but I am low to the dust, don't look at me a few years older than him, but this knowledge and cultivation seems to be worse than ten years! I kind of know what it means to be ashamed of myself. ”

Yu Ke smiled: "Your studies are also very good!" The master values you and secretly opened you a small stove behind our back? Your father is still secretly hiding it and not letting people say it, isn't it just because he is afraid that we will be ashamed of ourselves? If you want me to say, it's true that the eighth son of the emperor is very good, but you will not necessarily be worse than him in the future! After all, you are also the prince of the county king's mansion, and in terms of status and status, the two of you are similar, so you really don't have to be so modest. I'm optimistic about you anyway. ”

"If only I could be the same as His Royal Highness, you didn't see it, there are many people around him, and those people are either rich or noble, and they are all companions selected by the emperor for him."

Yu Ke snorted and said, "What envy! Isn't it just the son of a few big officials around him! Do you have more ears than me, or do you have fewer eyes? Although my father is not a big official with good hands and eyes, my family is also in business, and I am sure that I will be able to compare with Xia Shangguan in the future! ”

Guo Zhaoyang smiled at this time, "Am I wrong?" From now on, I will work hard to live up to your expectations of me! ”

"That's right!"

It was just a small talk between the two children, but when it fell on Rose's ears, it gave her goosebumps.

After a while, Guo Zhaoyang wanted to go and see Wen Qing, and when he left, he guessed that Wen Qing was pregnant, and it was right. But when he arrived at the place, it was unfortunate that Wen Qing slept, and he didn't even enter the gate.

When they returned to Baoxia again, it was already afternoon, and the two took off their clothes for a lunch break, and there was not even a girl waiting outside.

In a daze, I don't know how long I slept, Guo Zhaoyang was woken up by a slap, and there was no shadow of Yu Ke on the bed, Guo Zhifeng looked at him coldly, didn't say a word, and locked him here.

It was terrible to be quiet outside, and the little girl ran over nowhere, and whispered to him that Rose was in Wenqing's yard and jumped into the well, she cried sadly, she should have been frightened, and she didn't seem to believe it, and said a sentence repeatedly, Sister Rose is not that kind of person.

After a few days, Guo Zhaoyang understood why the little girl said that Rose was not that kind of person, because he was the bad person, and he got carried away after being praised by the emperor, and he really regarded himself as the companion of the emperor's eighth son. At this moment, there is no room for people in his eyes, and even the original form is *** dead.

is worthy of Chu Cailing's son, fierce and fierce, there is nothing he dare not do.

Wen Qing lay down for more than half a month before relieving himself, and the first thing he said when he saw Guo Zhaoyang was: "You really did this?" It's all said, your mother left by herself, and it has nothing to do with anyone, why don't you listen! ”

Guo Zhaoyang argued with reason, but he couldn't argue, no one believed it, at least, the king of the county didn't believe it. He acquiesced to all this and locked Guo Zhaoyang in the corner of the courtyard.

For half a year, Guo Zhaoyang didn't want to ask where Yu Ke went, he just didn't understand, why did Rose jump into the well?

.....

Guo Zhifeng cleaned the people of the palace, and when the people around him brought back new faces, he thought that everything would start again, but unexpectedly, he picked up a bead by the well of that well, which was the only connection between him and Rose.

The small pearl is inlaid in the silver-white moonlight silk, and the flowing tassel is Rose's specialty, and when he gave this bead to Rose, Rose once said that the person is in the pearl, as long as she is gone, don't ask the reason, anyway, ask in vain.

He knew at the moment that Rose had jumped on her own, and that she had a mission that she had to complete.

It was so easy to destroy someone, but she chose another and more tragic way.

He threw the beads into the well, his eyes were so sour, but he couldn't cry, he sealed the well, and said goodbye to his once green self.

At that moment, he finally understood the weight of the chains on his feet, and finally he would not be happy with those new faces, he was just a shell with the name of the county king, and there was nothing to be proud of.
