Great Zhou, twenty-three years of Chengde.

The imperial concubine Wan Shixue, in April of the same year, Emperor Chengde fell ill and died in August.

The new emperor ascended the throne and honored his mother as the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager issued an edict to cut down all the laurel trees in the harem, and hired her cronies to compile the "Chengde Record", which condemned the four heinous crimes of the Wan family.

—————

Great Zhou, the second year of Chengtian.

Qingzhou.

In the spring of March, the peach blossoms are full of branches, the orange sun shines on the body through the dappled leaves, warm, and Wan Chaoyun sits on the swing under the wisteria trellis.

The breeze lifted her forehead bangs, revealing a whole delicate little face, pink carving, sweet and lovely.

"Girl, the four seasons outside the wall have opened." The little girl Liu Mei tried to maintain her stability and came in with her little short legs, "The slave asked the little fourth brother to pick a few and insert them in the Qinghua high-necked bottle, and put the girl at the head of the bed, okay?" ”

Hearing this, Wan Chaoyun had a moment of trance, that year she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and she would personally pick the newly bloomed osmanthus and put it at the head of the bed, that kid was the same as her, he liked the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and his calf kicked high, thinking that the mother would be expensive by her son from now on, but in just half a year, her son was burned to death in Qiyun Palace.

Although Concubine Shu has been punished for killing her son, she has been injured and has never been pregnant again.

It is said that the concubine favors the six palaces, and no one can match it, but she can start all over again, but Wan Chaoyun is unwilling to return to the palace.

At the age of six, she was brought into the palace, and at the age of twelve she became the palace maid of the East Palace, serving the nine-year-old prince Lin Jianshen, the emperor Chengtian was captured by the imperial conquest, the queen mother and the minister supported the king to ascend the throne, the prince was abolished, and he left the palace to live separately, and the biological mother of the abolished prince, Concubine Zhou Xian, was afraid to avoid it, and she was the only one who did not abandon him.

It is not easy to survive outside the palace, Lin Jianshen is always in danger of life, she almost died of poisoning for him, and almost broke the phase for him to fight with others, she will always remember the most difficult time, the two of them gnawed a steamed bun for two days, and there was no quilt in the winter, so she held him in her arms to warm him, and everyone was going to freeze to death at that time, who cares what men and women are seven years old?

In order to survive, they have eaten steamed buns, scooped up water, and grabbed bones with dogs.

After seven years of hunger and cold, Emperor Chengtian successfully restored the Yuan Zhengyuan, and he became the prince again, in the eighth year of Zhengyuan, the emperor died, the prince ascended the throne, and he insisted on making her a concubine.

How many people laughed at her and were jealous of her, and there was a time when she felt that she was extremely happy, but gradually, she found that there were more and more women in the harem, they were all from famous families, and they were still young and beautiful.

She began to be unconfident, began to be jealous, began to worry, began to be cranky, especially after the death of her son, she seemed to be crazy, became outspoken, became mean, became unkind, and became the person she hated.

Lin Jianshen gave her the real power to take charge of the harem and gave her the supreme honor, but he became more and more unfamiliar with her, and it seemed that he was favored by the Sixth Palace, but in fact, he had already been strong and middle-class, and he was like a stranger.

If it weren't for the fact that her heart died like a lamp going out in the end, how could she make the queen the final winner? I just don't want to fight.

She has no sons, no heirs, who are she fighting for? Others see her life as legendary, but she feels tired and lonely.

With a long sigh, Wan Chaoyun looked up at the sky, the sky was clear and blue, since God asked her to come back again, then she would live this life well, marry an ordinary man two or three years older than her, give birth to a few cute boys, and enjoy a bland blessing.

As for him, the bento fate is over, why force people who shouldn't be together?

Since she doesn't want to enter the palace again, the family can't have an accident, at least her room must be preserved.

Although more than 40 years have passed, she still remembers the reasons for the change in her family.

In the spring of the second year of Chengtian, the disaster relief grain seeds of the imperial court were all distributed to the states and counties, and the Chengtian Emperor and the queen sacrificed to the sky to pray for blessings, looking forward to a bumper harvest of rice and grain this year.

Qingzhou prefect Wanquan, Wan Chaoyun's uncle, in late February sold half of the disaster relief grain seeds at a high price, in October, other states and counties have basically been on the right track, and Qingzhou is still famine, this matter up to the heavens, Chengtian Emperor Longyan was furious, sent Qin to Qingzhou to investigate thoroughly, the people sued Qin Cha, the evidence is conclusive, there is no way to deny.

Emperor Chengtian personally tried the case, and the verdict came down quickly, the whole family of Qingzhou copied the house, the male rushed into the mine to mine, and the female dependents were not official slaves.

"The osmanthus grows on the tree well, what are you doing to pick it? Flowers should be left on the tree. Thinking of the past, she suddenly didn't like osmanthus anymore, probably because osmanthus had too many memories, and she couldn't wait to throw it away.

Liu Mei is still young, and she knows a lot of things, she scratches her head, bends down and asks with doubts: "The slave doesn't pick it up, the slave takes the girl to see it?" ”

"You know how to look at flowers." Wan Chaoyun poked Liu Mei's forehead, but he was not angry, "What about Mother?" ”

"Madame went to the academy early in the morning, and before leaving, I told Mother Zhou to make steamed cheese for the girl." The willow-eyed gluttonous insect went to the brain and choked on saliva.

"That's good, you go to the kitchen to see if Mother Zhou is ready, I'm hungry." Wan Chaoyun touched her stomach, the decoction has not left her mouth for the past few days, and she feels that her breath is bitter.

"Yes, the slave and maid will go and get it." Liu Mei jumped to the kitchen on her short legs.

Raising her willow eyebrows, Wan Chaoyun moved her left hand, there was no pain, it seemed that the dislocation had healed, and she glanced at the old courtyard, where there was no one else, she jumped off the swing and went straight to the study.

In the days after her rebirth, she has been thinking about how to protect her parents and her, thinking about it, it is too late to slowly figure it, time waits for no one, for the sake of today, she can only fill the gap in the grain seeds, and then turn herself in.

Since Wanquan has done it, he will definitely not turn himself in, so ......

In the study, Wan Chaoyun wrote two report letters.

Looking at the font that was somewhat similar to Lin Jianshen, Wan Chaoyun was in a complicated mood, and he still remembered the situation when he taught himself to write with one stroke at a time, as if it happened yesterday.

"Girl, where are you?"

The willow eyebrows she found and the anxious shouts made her return to reality in an instant, and she hurriedly hid the report letter in her sleeve and walked out of the study, "Where's the sugar steamed cheese?" ”

The empty-handed Liu Mei muttered: "Mother Zhou is doing the laundry, and she hasn't done it yet." ”

drove away the two grandmothers in a row, Zhou's mother was indeed busier than before, and Wan Chaoyun was not really hungry, "Didn't you say that the osmanthus flowers bloomed outside the wall?" Take me to see it. ”

She said that she walked out of the room awkwardly with meat legs that were shorter than Liu Mei's short legs, Liu Mei felt bitter, you obviously didn't want to go just now......
