Chapter 1: Marriage
In the summer of 175 of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wang Shang personally led his troops to the south and conquered Northern Yan with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, ending nearly ten years of war in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
In the early spring of the following year, the class returned to the dynasty and feasted the ministers.
On the feast, singing and dancing, all officials enjoyed together. In the midst of the staggering, a captive broke free from his confinement, flew up, and attacked the king.
"Escort!"
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
At this moment, everything is silent.
At the critical moment, a black shadow pushed away the king and came up to him. The sword fell, the captive's head was cut off, and blood flowed all over the ground.
In addition to being shocked, Wang Shanglong Yan was happy, "My son is brave, in order to save the orphan, he stood up and should be rewarded!" ”
The ministers chimed in.
Following the king's sight, I saw that the man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, white facial features, and was unusually handsome. In the face of everyone's praise, he stood in place, his face blank.
Wang Shang stroked his beard and smiled kindly, "Say, what does Ziyu want?" ”
"Marry, marry a daughter-in-law. The mother concubine said that Ziyu grew up and wanted to marry the most beautiful woman in Da Zhou as her daughter-in-law. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Ziyu, the ninth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although he is handsome, he is stupid, moody, and short-tempered. Even the eunuchs and palace maids on duty in his Ming Han Garden need to be extremely cautious, and if they are not careful and make a mistake, they may be beaten to death. At the beginning, the emperor also planned to give him two marriages, but each time the marriage was approaching, the woman who was given the marriage was either frightened crazy or committed suicide. Over time, the rumors intensified, and everyone avoided mentioning the Nine Emperor Princes. Not to mention that there will be people who are willing to marry their daughters to him.
In Zhou Ziyu's expectant eyes, Wang Shang nodded and smiled, "Okay!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers who had daughters in the family were nervous.
Zhou Ziyu didn't seem to see it, and pulled the corner of his clothes to emphasize again, "Erchen wants to marry the most beautiful!" ”
"Okay, well, Ziyu will marry the most beautiful," the king laughed.
The prettiest? Everyone in the world knows that the Yan family has a female race fairy!
Sure enough, the next day, a holy decree was passed into the Yan family.
——
Blood, blood everywhere. As far as the eye could see, there were corpses. Dead, everybody died, her father died, her mother died. The Northern Swallow is extinguished! She doesn't have a home anymore. No! Yan Lingyue woke up from a nightmare.
"It's been three days, why is Miss Fifth still in a coma?"
"It's better to die than to wake up and marry a foolish prince. Haven't you heard? The eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady all fought for this marriage, and no one wanted to marry. ”
Fool Prince? Don't want to marry?
As soon as Yan Lingyue opened her eyes, she heard a non-stop chatter in her ear. What are they discussing? Sitting up, I saw the curtain of the bed with Su Qing. Looking around, there is a table, a cabinet and two chairs in the room, and a dilapidated dresser. There were two maids standing at the door, muttering head-to-head.
Looking at everything unfamiliar, Yan Lingyue didn't react for a long time. She's not dead? Where is this? Why is she here?
"It seems that the Nine Emperor Princes really have a wife, otherwise why would the Fifth Miss have been in a coma for so long?"
"Shhhh
Yan Lingyue was listening to it, and a scolding voice came from outside the door, "What nonsense? dared to arrange the Nine Emperor Princes, if it was spread out, he would lose his head. Why don't you clean the yard yet! ”
"Hmph, what's the use of sweeping clean, and no one will come."
"Yes."
Seeing the two maids leave the room, Yan Lingyue got out of bed with a blank face and walked towards the bronze mirror. Looking at the delicate and small goose egg face in the mirror, she was dumbfounded.
The person in the mirror is not her at all!
Yan Lingyue touched her face, took two steps back, took two steps forward, and found that the person in the mirror was her! It's just that the appearance has changed. At this moment, Yan Lingyue was completely frightened, her whole person was blindfolded, and she sat in front of the bronze mirror.
What's going on? Isn't she dead? She was shot to death with her father and queen mother! Thinking of the corpses all over the ground, Yan Lingyue's tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Miss?" Mama Li, who was holding the medicine, heard Yan Lingyue's sobs as soon as she stepped into the room. Suddenly felt distressed, "Miss, why did you cry as soon as you woke up?" ”
Mama Li put the medicine bowl on the table, took out a silk handkerchief to help Yan Lingyue wipe her tears, "Since the family matter has been ordered, then we should think about the benefits." Even if the Nine Emperors are fools, they are favored by the emperor and the queen in their hearts. The young lady married the princess, which is better than being angry in the Yan Mansion. ”
Yan Lingyue, who was hazy with teary eyes, looked at the kind grandmother in front of her, and thought of the nurse who blocked the arrow for her, and felt even more uncomfortable. Beiyan is gone, and all her relatives are dead! Yan Lingyue's heart ached, and finally her eyes went dark and she fainted in Mama Li's arms.
In the darkness, she felt as if someone had come to her side and held her hand......
"My name is Ling Yue, and you are also called Ling Yue, from now on, you are me, and I am you. Promise me to live well. Your hatred for the loss of your country, my hatred for killing my mother......"
"No, it's not!" Yan Lingyue screamed and sat up suddenly. As far as the eye can see, it's pitch black. Only a kerosene lamp flickered faintly not far away.
She still repeated the voice of the dream in her head, "Live well." Your hatred for the loss of your country, my hatred for killing my mother......"
Yan Lingyue only felt a sharp headache, and lay back on the bed heavily.
Mama Li, who went out to change the water, heard the movement, hurriedly took the clean water and returned to the room, "Miss is awake?" Would you like to drink some hot water? ”
Watching Mama Li put the basin down, poured hot water and sent it to the bedside, Yan Lingyue was completely awake.
She was really reborn!
Mama Li saw that Yan Lingyue was stunned in place, her eyes did not blink, she hurriedly touched her forehead, and found that it was not hot, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Come, Miss, drink water." ”
Yan Lingyue stupidly drank several sips of water from Mama Li's hand before finding a voice, "Mama, what year is this?" ”
"One hundred and seventy-five years of the Great Zhou. What's wrong, miss? "Mama Li is a little confused.
Big Zhou? Is this really the Great Zhou?
Thinking that Beiyan was trampled flat by the iron cavalry of the Great Zhou, and that she and her father and queen mother were killed by the sharp arrows of the Great Zhou, Yan Lingyue hated it bitterly. Fate, maybe that's fate! Not only was she reborn, but she also came to Da Zhou, this is the opportunity God gave her to take revenge!
Yan Lingyue's spirits perked up, and she thought of hearing the news during the day, and asked, "I'm the fifth lady in the house?" was given a marriage and wanted to marry the Nine Emperor Princes of the Great Zhou? ”
Mama Li realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly grabbed Yan Lingyue's hand, "Miss, Miss, ...... you"
Feeling Mama Li's concern, Yan Lingyue's heart warmed, "I don't know what's wrong, my brain is dizzy, and even my memory is blurred." ”
After hearing this, Mama Li began to wipe away her tears, ", why is our young lady so miserable!" ”
……
From Mama Li's mouth, Yan Lingyue learned that she was the fifth lady of Yan Mansion, and her father Yan was the prime minister of Da Zhou. Her mother, Li Yun, is the main lady of the Yan Mansion, who died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and she has been known as a mother since she was a child, and she is not welcomed in this mansion. Coupled with her weak body, even the maid dared to bully her.
A few days ago, she fell into the lake, and after being rescued, she fell unconscious with a high fever. No one from the huge Yan Mansion came to visit, until the emperor's holy decree came down and gave marriage to the Qin family lady and the Nine Emperor Princes. Because I didn't name who it was, the young ladies in the house, you pushed me, I pushed you, and they didn't want to marry. When her father was worried, the second aunt mentioned her!
After fifteen years, her father finally stepped into the Tingyu Pavilion again, and invited Lang Zhong to treat her. After feeding the medicine, she finally woke up, as soon as she heard that she was going to marry the fool Nine Emperors, she didn't agree, not to say that her mother was killed by her second aunt back then, her father slapped her angrily, she cried and cried and fainted again, and this coma was three days.
"Fortunately, the young lady woke up, otherwise the old woman wouldn't know what to do?" Mama Li helped Yan Lingyue cover the quilt and persuaded, "Miss can't cry anymore, if you really don't want to marry the Nine Emperors, let's go to the master early tomorrow morning." The old woman is fighting for this life, and she will stop this family affair. ”
Deter? Can it be stopped? A sneer overflowed from the corner of Yan Lingyue's mouth. The real fifth lady of Yan Mansion has already been forced to die of despair by them, and now she is the princess of Beiyan, Yan Lingyue! Beiyan is dead, if she, the princess of the dead country, can marry the prince of the Great Zhou, she can get close to the king of the Great Zhou! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so why stop it?
Not only does she want to marry, but she also wants to marry happily!
Even if she can't shake the solid Great Zhou, then she will do her best to turn the Great Zhou royal family upside down to comfort the souls of her father and queen mother.
"Miss?" Mama Li saw that her young lady was silent, and she was a little anxious, "Miss can't be stupid anymore, if something really happens, the old woman will die, and she won't be able to explain it to her wife." ”
Seeing that Mama Li was wiping her tears anxiously again, Yan Lingyue hurriedly said, "Yue'er has already figured it out and is willing to marry the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
Mama Li was stunned.
Yan Lingyue held Mama Li's hand, "I've all died once, what else can't I understand." Instead of being excluded in this mansion, it is better to marry the Nine Emperors. When the time comes, I will be the queen's daughter-in-law, who else will dare to bully us? ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a sneer came from outside the door, "Heh, let's live and marry the Nine Emperor Princes first, and then let's talk about it." ”
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open.
A maid of the same age as her walked into the room with a tray and a swagger, "This is the clothes that our second aunt asked me to send over, tomorrow the Nine Emperors will come over, and when the time comes, clean up decently, don't lose the face of our Yan Mansion." ”
After the girl finished speaking, she put the tray on the table casually, glanced at Yan Lingyue with disgust, turned her head and left, and didn't even close the door.
