Chapter 1: Past Lives
Late at night, the fallen leaves mixed with the autumn wind with the sound of the rain falling, a down-and-out figure, staggered to a gate, weakly looked up at the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hanging black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flying phoenix danced with three big characters inscribed on the prince's house'. Holding a dying baby in her arms, the rain had already wet her clothes, the sludge stained the corners of her clothes, the autumn wind blew, a coolness made her tremble, but at this moment she completely ignored it, looked at the baby in her arms lovingly, and muttered to herself: "Good, mother will take you to see Daddy, don't cry or cry", she raised a hand and slapped the door with all her remaining strength "I want to see Duan Yiqing" again and again, the rain is still falling, as if to swallow everything.
"Bold, Lord Wang, can you also see when you meet, and call the Lord by name, come here, call me" looked at the voice, and came out of a leader in charge, followed by a few little Luo Luo, I saw them rush up and surrounded the woman, she was already physically and mentally exhausted, and after being beaten like this, she felt like she was about to faint to death.
"Steward Zhang, I think she's too empty, I'm afraid I'll ,,, if I continue to fight" A little Luo Luo reminded in a low voice,
"I let you fight, why do you have so many things, do you want me to beat you" Steward Zhang looked at him viciously. was so frightened that little Luo Luo didn't dare to say anything.
Stick after stick hit her hard, her body had gradually lost her instincts, the feeling had become numb, and she used what little consciousness she had left to tightly protect the child in her arms. Child, my mother will go with you.
"Slow, stop" A loud voice came, and the steward and Xiao Luo Luo hurriedly stopped. At this time, a man walked out of the house, with a dignified body and an extraordinary aura, looking at his familiar figure, the woman knew that he was Duan Yiqing, the man glanced at the woman impatiently, with a disgusted expression on his face: "I told you, you are a prostitute, how can you match me, I am just playing with you"
"No, you said you would marry me and love me for the rest of your life" The woman shook her head vigorously, she didn't believe it.
"You believe it? Let's be honest with you, you are just a bet between me and the fourth prince, chasing you is just a bet between me and the fourth prince, who made you think of yourself as high, and refused to accept the fourth prince five times, and now you are to blame for making it like this."
The woman's body twitched, it turned out that in his heart he was a bet, the tenderness and affection of the past, are they all fake, at this moment she feels that she has been pierced through the heart, she is almost unable to breathe, she ignores the scolding of the world, unmarried and pregnant, she does not believe that her true heart will be in vain, so even if she dies, she has to reason with him face to face, now it seems that everything is her own thinking too much, she didn't expect him to be so ruthless, it seems that she is humiliating herself, instantly feels a sweet throat, feels a hot current is about to gush out, She quickly covered it with her hand, looking at the bright red blood, she smiled very pale, very weak, "Have you ever loved me" This is her last trace of expectation, and she grabbed one in the water like a life-saving straw. "Never," the man said, turning to leave.
Hahaha, she smiled bitterly, it turned out that all this was her own passion, it turned out that everything that happened was just a dream, the dream woke up, after all, it was empty, she touched the baby in her arms, her vision gradually blurred, she was so tired, even the only remaining consciousness was exhausted, and the rain washed the blood stains on her body, as if she was hiding something.
In the white veil, there was a graceful woman lying down, no face, just by her figure, it was a stunning beauty, I saw what she was thinking in her mouth, her forehead was overflowing with beads of sweat, "Don't" The woman immediately sat up, and a maid about fifteen or sixteen years old next to her immediately rushed to the bedside, hugged her in her arms, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, Miss" The woman gradually recovered, "Miss, that dream again?" ”
"Hmm" Zhu'er nodded, she is the second miss of the Zhang family, the family is illustrious, has always been an official for generations, I don't know why, she has had this nightmare since she was a child, and it has not been so frequent in the past, is it because the queen mother recently promised her to marry the emperor, and the worry in her heart was caused by it, it should not be, she married the emperor Long Yan who she had been in love with since she was a child, she will always remember that although he was young at that time, but there was a heroic posture between the eyebrows, which deeply attracted her, although she knew that Long Yan could not only spoil herself, but she could be his wife, I was very content, so I relied on the grace of the Queen Mother and asked the Queen Mother to give me marriage.
"Miss, what are you thinking?"
"No" Satsuki's words pulled Zhu'er into reality, and she smiled at Satsuki in front of her
Satsuki has served her since she was a child, although on the surface they are a master and servant, but in private, Zhu'er has never regarded her as a servant, and their relationship is like sisters.
The wedding day is getting closer and closer, Zhu'er thought that she had nothing to do and was ready to give her beloved Long Yan a dragon and phoenix auspicious pillow, so she also picked up the needle and thread to learn embroidery, and embroidered it in a decent way.
"Little Pearl, what are you doing?"
"No" Zhu'er hurriedly hid her embroidery, needless to say, this talk is Long Qu who has played since childhood, he especially likes to play tricks on her, I remember riding a horse, he caused her to fall off the horse, and scared her sick for several days, so she suspected that they had a grudge in their previous life, and they were going to come against her in this life.
"Are you hiding good things again" Long Qu smiled weirdly, and took the opportunity to grab the embroidery hidden behind Zhu'er, "No, why do you keep making trouble with me, why don't you go to the eldest sister, you and the eldest sister are married" Zhu'er also grabbed the other side vigorously, Long Qu was stunned, his eyes were a little dim, but after looking at Zhu'er, he became active instantly. "No, you little girl, you dare to teach me a lesson" Just as the two were arguing, someone came over, and Long Qu immediately let go, "Prime Minister Zhang, you are here"
"Why did the second prince have time to come to my mansion to visit Yun'er?
Long Qu glanced at Zhu'er, who was grimacing with a smug face, and suddenly had a plan, and smiled happily, "Prime Minister Zhang, I was about to go to see Yun'er, but I met Zhu'er on the road, and I saw that she seemed to have done embroidery, so I planned to take a look."
"Haha, Zhu'er has never touched a girl's popularity, she is like a boy on weekdays, but today she also learns from a woman, and she has to take a look at it for her father" Prime Minister Zhang showed a relieved expression, looking forward to looking at Zhu'er.
"You" Zhu'er glanced at Long Qu with a smug face viciously, and obediently took out the embroidery.
A group of crows flew by, Long Qu looked at a species that was not like four, looked at the expression of Prime Minister Zhang who frowned and studied it deeply, and was about to laugh out loud in his heart, at this moment Prime Minister Zhang's heart was very complicated, thinking that he had been in the officialdom for more than 30 years, and had never seen such a difficult problem, after a long time, Prime Minister Zhang said: "Zhu'er is good, this chicken embroidered lively"
"Dad, this is the phoenix," Zhu'er muttered in a displeased voice
"Ah, Daddy didn't see clearly"
"Haha, Zhu'er, I'm afraid that this phoenix you show has fallen into the chicken nest, and it's with teeth and claws."
"You, hmph, won't tell you," Zhu'er said and fled, carrying her chick embroidery.
