Golden wire cage

It had just snowed, and a vast layer of white had fallen on the ground, and Wei Wan wore a newly made cotton jacket and stepped on line after row of footprints in the snow.

The mother-in-law who was waiting beside her saw it, put down the work in her hand, and hurriedly called: "My eldest lady, is it cold in the snow?" Come into the house. ”

Wei Wan didn't listen to the mother-in-law's shocked words, the dress that her father just gave her is said to be a tribute from other places, and the lining of the clothes is a thick layer of fox skin, and the long fluff sticks to the body, not only is it not cold, but her back is sweaty.

Her mother heard the movement in the house and called her back, even if Wei Wan didn't want to, she couldn't go against her mother's will, so she went to the porch and stomped the snow on her feet, and entered the house where the fire was lit.

The waiting maid cut the rare fruit that had been saved in this season, soaked it in warm water and handed it to her, Wei Wan looked at it, felt that she had no appetite, so she let the fruit soak in the bowl, sat around the charcoal fire, and dried her hands that had been stained with snow water before.

The mother reproached on the side: "It's all a big girl, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

Wei Wan listened to it in her ears, but she didn't care in her heart, what to do with her demeanor, even if she didn't do well everywhere, with her father, no one dared to say that she was bad.

The mother seemed to sense her daughter's thoughts, and said to Wei Wan: "Your father wants you to marry into the palace in the future, the palace has big rules, and your father can't control it." ”

Speaking of family affairs, Wei Wan looked at the charcoal fire in the stove and said resolutely: "If Cousin Zhao becomes the emperor, I will marry in the palace." ”

The mother whispered in time: "Who is the emperor, you can't talk nonsense, your father doesn't have a certain number in his heart." ”

"My cousin Zhao will definitely be the emperor, and when the time comes, I will be his queen."

"You!" Her mother couldn't resist her words, so she could only shake her head helplessly.

When she was young, if someone asked Wei Wan who her favorite person was, Wei Wan would not hesitate to tell that person that she liked Zhao Zhao's cousin the most. When she grew up, no one asked her this question again, but if someone asked, Wei Wan would still tell others without hesitation that she still liked Cousin Zhao Zhao.

In Wei Wan's heart, it seems that marrying Zhao Zhao's cousin is an inevitable thing when she grows up, and the wise and calm Zhao Zhao's cousin will definitely be the future emperor.

Later, the old emperor died, and during the state funeral, Wei Wan was secretly happy in her heart, feeling that next, it should be Zhao Zhao's cousin to succeed to the throne, after he became the emperor, his father would discuss the matter with him, and when she entered the Fengyi Palace, she would become the queen of the world and the wife of Zhao Zhao's cousin.

But to her surprise, the person who succeeded to the throne was not Zhao Zhao's cousin, and her father had a serious face after returning from the court, telling her that Zhao Zhao's cousin's life and death were unknown at this time.

Wei Wan's heart was lifted all of a sudden, and she begged her father to save Zhao Zhao's cousin, but her father shook his head and was indifferent.

So, Wei Wan asked her girl to go around the city to inquire about Zhao Zhao's cousin, but she found nothing.

After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, his father did not make much of a big show in the court, but carefully observed the court situation, as if to win over his father, the new emperor also proposed to marry her as the queen, but his father was euphemistically shirked several times.

Wei Wan thought that her father understood her intention to be a daughter, and was also looking forward to Zhao Zhao's cousin's return, but once when she passed by her father's study, she heard her father and a court official say that if there was news of Zhao Zhao's cousin's death, she could only marry her to the emperor, and if she didn't get the news of Zhao Zhao's cousin's death for a day, everything would be possible.

Wei Wan suddenly understood that it was not her father who understood her daughter's thoughts, but wanted to use her in exchange for the biggest and most stable benefits for him.

She couldn't interfere with her father's decisions and ideas, so Wei Wan looked forward to it every day, hoping that Cousin Zhao Zhao would return safely and beat the emperor on the throne now.

It seems that God heard her prayer, and it didn't take long for Zhao Zhao's cousin to fight to Kyoto with his troops, and took the initiative to contact his father to jointly take back the power of the court.

Daddy agreed, because the Wei family and Zhao Zhao's cousin, after all, have part of the same blood, and Daddy's request to Zhao Zhao's cousin is to establish a palace and her aunt is the queen mother.

Afterwards, Wei Wan complained to her father, why didn't she let Zhao Zhao's cousin marry her?

Wei Wan remembered that her father was full of confidence at that time, and there was no need to ask for it, because this was an inevitable thing after the country was stabilized, and Cousin Zhao Zhao didn't like his aunt, that is, her own aunt, and he would inevitably snub his aunt later, so his father said that he would put his aunt in the position of the queen mother first, and in the harem in the future, there would be someone who helped her.

Wei Wan felt that her father really loved her, and she silently thought that Zhao Zhao's cousin personally asked to marry her, and agreed to marry her as a condition, which was different.

But Wei Wan waited at home with hope, waiting, waiting, but in the end, she waited for Zhao Zhao's cousin to make someone else the queen, which couldn't help but make Wei Wan feel shocked.

In fact, she was not the only one who was surprised, this matter had exceeded Daddy's expectations, but fortunately, the first few women who had the hope of becoming queens were secretly dealt with by Daddy, and in the end, the queen's position must still be hers.

But I never expected that my father also met a tricky person, and Cousin Zhao Zhao not only protected that woman very well, even if it was an assassin with strong martial arts, he didn't kill that woman in the end.

Not only that, Zhao Zhao's cousin tried his best to arrange a decent identity for the woman who came from an unknown source, but Wei Wan found out from the facts investigated by her father that the woman was just a dirty, stinky flower child who asked for food on the street.

And she could only retreat and marry Zhao Zhao's cousin as the imperial concubine.

Maybe in the eyes of others, the status of the imperial concubine is not low, but Wei Wan feels that this is far from enough, she wants to be the queen of the world and the wife of Zhao Zhao's cousin.

On the first night of the wedding, Zhao Zhao's cousin stayed in Fengyi Palace, Wei Wan heard the Queen Mother's aunt say that Zhao Zhao's cousin had spoiled that woman before he was established, and now countless beauties have entered the palace, and he still went to that woman's side.

When she left home for the first time since she was a child, she lay alone on the bed, thinking about Zhao Zhao's cousin, was she holding that woman in her arms at this time.

The more she thought about it, the more Wei Wan felt that her heart was full of anger, and after dropping a few cups and vases in the palace, she looked at the palace maid who was cleaning in a panic, and finally hid in the quilt and cried silently all night.

The next night, Zhao Zhao's cousin came to her palace, Wei Wan was overjoyed, and she dressed up, but Zhao Zhao's cousin never looked at her seriously, and sat with a book until late at night, and finally lay down beside her in a kimono, without saying a few words, and spent the night like this.

Wei Wan knew that he came only because his father and the Queen Mother's aunt asked him to get the so-called rain and dew evenly.

Wei Wan felt very sad, everyone said that she was the proud daughter of the sky, why couldn't she break the heart of Zhao Zhao's cousin, no matter what aspect, she couldn't lose to a beggar who asked for food.

So, Wei Wan went to the beggar and held her head high to mock, looking back and forth, she couldn't see what Cousin Zhao Zhao liked about her.

Perhaps, liking is liking, there is no reason, just like she doesn't know what Cousin Zhao Zhao hates about her.

Under the oppression of the Queen Mother and her father, Cousin Zhao Zhao still came to her, and she showed him the best side of her poetry and songs, but she never attracted his attention and got a compliment from him.

Wei Wan felt that the problem might not be with her, nor with Zhao Zhao's cousin, it was clearly the woman in Fengyi Palace, who confused her cousin.

As a result, Wei Wan's heart towards the beggar turned from jealousy to resentment.

The queen mother's aunt gave her an idea to use some means to bring down the woman, and the aunt said that the women of the harem in the past dynasties used these means to envelop the emperor's heart.

After Wei Wan hesitated for a moment, she also agreed with her aunt's idea.

Several times, she also hit that woman like the most vicious person in the world, but in the end, she never succeeded.

On the day of the ancestral worship in the imperial mausoleum, the queen mother's aunt and father discussed countermeasures, and wanted to completely take the woman's life, although the final result failed, but they were also shocked to find that the woman who asked for food turned out to be a monster.

At this moment, Wei Wan suddenly realized, no wonder Zhao Zhao's cousin ignored her in every way, but it turned out that she was confused by the demon girl.

She began to unite with the Queen Mother's aunt to eliminate the demon, and many people in the Qin Heavenly Prison went, but she underestimated the demon girl and ran out of the palace by her.

It doesn't matter, for the sake of a humble palace maid by her side, that stupid demon girl, she will definitely come back to die.

This time, Daddy united with the Heavenly Master who slayed demons and eliminated demons, set up the formation on the star sacrifice platform, and also used the ancient talisman to summon the immortals to come, and then completely killed the demon girl.

But the price paid this time was too huge, she not only lost her aunt, but also lost her father, who had been spoiled since she was a child.

As soon as Daddy falls, the entire Wei family will collapse.

But fortunately, Wei Wan felt that she still had Zhao Zhao's cousin, the demon girl died, he would definitely not be confused again, and when he looked back, he would definitely fall in love with her.

Putting on her most beautiful clothes, Wei Wan wiped away her tears, sat in front of the mirror and painted her exquisite makeup, and quietly waited for Zhao Zhao's cousin to come, he would be better to her than he was to the demon girl.

And she waited for a long time, but Cousin Zhao Zhao never came.

Many days have passed since the day of sacrificing the star platform to kill demons, Wei Wan finally waited for Zhao Zhao's cousin's will, and when she knelt down to accept the decree with the posture that belonged to the queen, she found that her favorite cousin Zhao Zhao actually beat her into the cold palace.

In the barren courtyard of the cold palace, the wind was blowing, and the eunuchs and palace maids were like feeding dogs, throwing some food into it every day through the wall, and sometimes they forgot it, and she would be hungry for a day.

At the beginning, she cried and screamed, made trouble, like when she was a child and threw things when she was angry, smashing everything in the cold palace, but the things in the cold palace seemed to have been beaten by the previous dead person, and the broken debris was beaten until she lost her strength, she calmed down again, thinking that maybe Zhao Zhao's cousin was angry with her, and after a while, she would think of her.

From autumn to winter, the cold wind blew in, blowing her shivering body, but it still didn't freeze to death from the lice that skewered around her body.

The eunuch who delivered the meal shouted through the courtyard wall that the imperial concubine had eaten, and then arrogantly threw in half of the frozen steamed bun, but she had no strength and crawled over to pick it up.

The wind blew, the snowflakes fell, and after a while, a white patch fell on the ground, Wei Wan felt that her body was no longer conscious, only opened a pair of blurred eyes, looking at the snow There seemed to be a line of footprints left by her, the cotton jacket sewn with fox fur was still so warm, and her back was sweating.........
