The heavy snow fell for several days before stopping, and when the snow was gone, the sky was not clear, and the thin yellow turned the golden crow, like a child's indiscriminately torn piece of paper, sticking it in the air, sprinkling a faint glimmer.

The north wind blows the stratus clouds, and the city is full of frost and jade, whether it is the Yedian Creek Bridge, the lonely mountain and the steep water, or the Zhulan Green Pavilion, the Daiwa Green Eaves, all of which are embraced by a thick layer of plain clothing. Looking at it from afar, it is a vast freehand, only black and white are left between heaven and earth, Xiao Xiaoran, reckless, indescribable meaning.

By dusk, it gets darker. Before the beginning of the unitary period arrived, the twilight had already spread out, and the western sky was full of shallow and faint rays, which could not break through the dryness and gloom of the world.

In the Chaoyang Courtyard of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the eldest princess dressed up and decorated herself, sat alone in front of the window, and crumpled the letter paper in her hand.

The light and shadow in the room were dim, and a white-haired palace man walked silently, bowed to the ground, got up and walked to the corner of the house, lit up a few delicate flower and bird candlesticks on the case, and placed them one by one.

Plum blossoms are several high, and magpies are placed on the crystal candlesticks; Below the wall corner fight, the ladies hold the cup candlestick; In the middle of the Duobao Pavilion, there is a righteous and luxurious peony candlestick, the national color is fragrant, and the crown is fragrant.

She walked around unhurriedly, and in a few moments, the red candles in the room were already shining, as bright as day, and the flickering candle flame illuminated the face of the eldest princess.

"Smack", there was a crisp sound outside the window, and even though there was a low reprimand from the waiter, there were a few girlish chuckles.

The eldest princess's figure moved, and she raised her hand to pull the window drawer open and look out.

Under the corridor stood a few small palace people, wearing red palace clothes, green armor, half looking up at the tender white face, holding both hands, holding a jade handle silver hook sickle, is knocking on the ice edge under the eaves, every time there is an ice pick on the ground, they laugh at themselves, fortunately the steward is detained, and the party has never laughed.

The eldest princess lowered her face, half-closed the window drawer, raised her hand and stroked her sleeves, and said coldly: "Mama Wei, if you go outside and say something, just say that I said it, and each person will pass on twenty boards." ”

The white-haired old palace man who lit the candle was stunned, and when he understood, he hurriedly responded, and bent down to laugh again: "Your Highness, forgive the sin, this group of small people are all picked up from the outer court, and the rules have not been fully learned, so they only do some superficial work." Then the slaves and maidservants had them punished, and they were not allowed to go into the inner court to serve in the future. ”

"Got it." The eldest princess looked tired, and with a wave of her hand, the letter paper pinched between her fingers made a "rattle" sound, which caused her to frown more and more: "After receiving the board, I will send them all to the Huanyi Courtyard to work, there is always a shortage of manpower in that place, and I need to make up for more." ”

Mama Wei was stunned for a moment, her face was slightly unbearable, and she whispered: "If you go back to Your Highness, these few years are too young, and the bones of your body have not grown, so you can't do heavy work if you go." ”

She took a few steps forward, and the lower her voice became: "Sun Chaoli just passed the word before, saying that even Fengzao Palace has not changed a few groups of people this year, and it is called ...... Be frugal. He also said that when he released people at the end of autumn next year, he could pick a new one to enter the government and listen to it. ”

The eldest princess's complexion instantly sank so much that she could wring out water.

"It's just a few, where is all this nonsense?" She had a cold face, and her voice was calm, lined with the crisp sound of the ice falling to the ground outside the window, and it was cold to the bones: "Mama is old, don't tell me that you can't even handle such a little thing!" ”

Mama Wei's face turned white at the moment, and she fell to the ground and said, "Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness forgives your sins." The slave knows that she is wrong, and asks His Highness to punish her. ”

The eldest princess raised her eyes and looked at her with a smile.

"Okay." Her smile remained unchanged, and she lowered her eyes to study her fingernails: "Since you are willing to accept the punishment and must ask for the guilt, then I can't refuse your kindness." ”

She stood up, and the water and green color weaved weft sprinkled silk skirt, dragging a long skirt tail on the thick carpet, as soft as green clouds.

"For the sake of you having been with me for many years, I will only reward you with five boards today." She waved her sleeve.

The extremely fresh green pinched teeth and narrow sleeves of the silk jacket are inlaid with a wide gold embroidery with wide edges.

Mama Wei's face was pale, and she bowed to the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

The eldest princess said "hmm" and sat down beside the desk.

Mama Wei quickly retreated, and the huge room was full of Chen Zhuyu and brocade embroidery, and even the beams and pillars were also wrapped with gorgeous silk.

However, no matter how many furnishings and candles are lit, they cannot fill this loneliness and spaciousness.

The eldest princess sighed, raised her hand tiredly, and weakly held her forehead.

It's all over.

She has worked hard to plan and lay out the details, and she is confident that she has already figured out the mind of her good royal brother. But he didn't think that a marriage edict and a closed case would make all this disappear.

She clenched the letter paper in her hand hard, and the slightly rough joints were almost deformed.

At that moment, the words in the letter suddenly came to mind:

…… Heroic martyrs are loyal, how can they be left behind? How to deal with the heavy frontier land......

…… I don't dare to be selfish, cold the heart of loyal ministers in the world; even disdains to use the private house as an opportunity to contain the court......

…… Although I do not compare myself with the Ming monarchs in the past, however, I am even more unwilling to follow the rule of the faint monarchs of the past dynasties, I use military force to determine the country, to establish the country with literature, to look up to the will of heaven, to rely on the subjects, there are enemies outside will be peaceful, internal chaos will be peaceful......

That's enough! That's enough! That's enough!

These high-sounding words sound good, but in fact, they are just treating her family as relatives and guarding against thieves.

What a good emperor for her.

And the most poignant of this is the first sentence:

Loyal and heroic, there is no place for queens.

Her hard-working Gillian can't give birth to children, so even His Majesty is disgusted with her?

The eldest princess raised her hand violently and pulled it to the sides.

The "sneer" sound was like a crack, and the letter paper suddenly became snowflakes and scattered to the ground.

She was still inadequate, stood up with red eyes, trampled on the scraps of paper all over the ground, cut her teeth and eyes, and her muscles were purple and purple, like a madwoman.

"Slave born! Good you! She cursed fiercely, and her deep voice seemed to come from the Nine Hells, soaked in thick resentment:

"If it weren't for me and my mother, how could I be supreme today! Dog cub, a cheap son who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge! Back then, I should have united with the royal brother and divided the five horses! ”

She smacked the ground, her face turned blood-red, and her eyes burned the carpet out of the hole in the ground with poison flames.

She really regretted it.

knew that Emperor Yuanjia was this kind of thing that didn't know what to do, and she fought to die back then, and she had to help an imperial brother ascend the throne first.

However, this is not possible anymore.

No matter how repentant she is, she can only swallow this bitter fruit.

She stroked her chest hard, only to feel a pang of disgust, and she wanted to scream.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Xingjibo asks to see you." Suddenly, Mama Wei's voice sounded outside the door.

The eldest princess froze.

Immediately, she raised her head, her face still distorted, but her voice was strangely calm: "Please come in and speak." ”

After speaking, his expression gradually recovered, and he brushed his sleeves indifferently: "Come on, sweep the ground." ”
