Chapter 203: The Ending and the Extras
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of Xiang Wife Ruyu!
When Liang Bozhao returned to the palace, it had just snowed heavily.
He walked into the Yuanyi Palace, and saw that the prince was already kneeling there, and when he saw him, he handed a sunken wooden box to Liang Bozhao with both hands, and opened his mouth carefully; "Your Majesty, the queen took the princess back to Langyuan yesterday, and when she left the palace, she said that she would give this box to the emperor."
Liang Bozhao took the box and opened it, and saw the sealed edict quietly inside.
He let out a faint "um", handed the box to the prince again, and said; "Put it away."
The prince looked at Liang Bozhao's expression, saw that he had returned to the main seat and sat down, as before, and approved the recital.
The prince waited for a while, but he didn't see Liang Bozhao speak, and finally couldn't help it, and whispered; "Your Majesty, look, do you want to send someone to Langyuan to ask, when will the queen return to the palace?"
The pen in Liang Bozhao's hand paused slightly, he raised his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said lightly; "Don't ask, she's not coming back."
"Your Majesty...."The prince's face suddenly changed.
Liang Bozhao no longer made a sound, only buried his head and compromised, the Yuanyi Hall was extremely quiet, only his shadow alone, the elder who pulled under the candlelight.
Since you are alone, then you should be this loner.
The news of Ning Xiang and the princess lost in Langyuan soon spread to the palace, the second elder of the Dong family was in Langyuan to recuperate, Dong Huaihu hung a high position in the military department, Chunsheng also made a family appointment with a famous lady in Beijing, the official brother studied hard, and Dong Ningxiang was the queen of the dynasty.
Ning Xiang took Jiu'er to live in Langyuan for one night, seeing that her parents were healthy, her sister-in-law was a good housekeeper, her nephew was smart and smart, and her niece was handsome and cute.
The news was transmitted back to the deep palace, and Liang Bozhao heard what he said, and only said; "Secretly send people to follow to ensure that their mothers and daughters are well-being."
The prince was frightened, "Your Majesty, this.... This is the Queen! The queen is the mother of a country, not to mention that the mother has now taken the princess away, you.... You're leaving her to go? How should this be explained like a hundred civil and military officials and the people of the world? β
Liang Bozhao shook his head, his voice was low, but his eyes were very calm; "The next decree is to say that the queen is not well, from today onwards, she will leave the palace and go to Changchun Garden to recuperate, and all the affairs in the palace will be handled by the Shanggong Bureau in the future."
The prince's voice trembled; "The emperor.... Is it to ignore the queen? Don't let people chase the mother back? β
Liang Bozhao's voice was extremely low, and he only said a few words; "Don't be reluctant."
"Then, should I take Concubine Yuan back?"
"If she wants to come back, just come back, and there is no need to ask me about this matter."
When the prince heard this, he didn't dare to speak, and when the emperor's will was given, the ministers of civil and military affairs were taken aback, but they didn't know how the queen annoyed the emperor and was thrown by the emperor in the remote Changchun Garden.
Only Yongning knew that Liang Bozhao would never drive Ning Xiang to Changchun Garden, and the only possibility was for her to leave the palace by herself.
"Princess, there is news from the palace, the princess guessed right, the queen did go by herself, the emperor.... No one was sent to chase it, and no one was even asked to check it. β
Yongning shook the cradle, looked at Ting'er's sleeping face, and only said a word; "It's too late."
"What did you say, princess?" Yuezhu didn't understand the meaning of these three words.
"I mean, she left too late." Yongning raised his eyes, and his voice was light; "Waiting for the emperor's love for her has already been polished, what can she do if she leaves."
Yuezhu's mind was shocked, and he didn't dare to speak easily.
"If you want to go, you should go when he is most reluctant. Dong Ningxiang is wrong again. β
Hearing this, Yuezhu whispered; "Princess, no matter where the queen goes, it's always a good thing to go, after this day, the queen's seat, as well as the emperor, the emperor's eldest son, and even the entire country, are not all yours, you are the one who has the last laugh."
Yongning shook his head, a hint of bitterness rising at the corner of his lips. "Yuezhu, you're wrong, no one can have the last laugh."
She did not return to the palace with her children, and still lived in the Haoyue Pavilion in the palace.
Imperial Palace, Yuanyi Palace.
"Your Majesty, I just received a summons, which says that Niangniang has taken the little princess and has already settled." Wang Gonggong hurriedly walked in front of Liang Bozhao, panting slightly.
"How are they doing?" Liang Bozhao asked.
"When Niangniang left Langyuan, she didn't bring much silver taels, only a few pieces of jewelry with her, and Niangniang took one of the bracelets as a bracelet, exchanged it for silver, put it in a house, and lived with the princess."
Wang Gonggong said, carefully presenting the bracelet to Liang Bozhao.
Liang Bozhao picked up the jade bracelet, and the cool jade was like a woman's skin.
"Your Majesty, the small town where the mother and the little princess have settled, in..."
Liang Bozhao made a gesture to stop the words of the prince.
Seeing that Liang Bozhao had no intention of knowing where Ning Xiang's mother and daughter were, the prince was also shocked, and waited for a while before hearing Liang Bozhao speak; "Let people live around her, and don't let her know."
"Yes, the old slave will arrange it, and ensure that the mother and princess who will protect it are thorough."
Liang Bozhao bowed his head lightly and said; "Let's go down."
"Yes."
After the prince retreated, Liang Bo Zhaofu picked up the jade bracelet again, he stared at the lamp for a moment, and put it in his arms.
Three years later.
He is still the emperor, the emperor who is majestic and cold, and who is not angry and arrogant. The affairs of the government are well organized in his hands, and he can fight well, pacify the barbarians, and drive out the Hulu, and he is really a generation of Ming monarchs.
However, such a generation of emperors does not drink heavily, does not get close to women, except for occasional safaris, there are no night banquets, since the queen left the palace, for such a long time, there is not even a favorite concubine in the palace.
The world knows that the emperor has only one son under his knees, raised by Concubine Yuan's side, that is, for this only son, the emperor will rarely have a pleasant face, he will be not very busy in the court, ordered someone to take the emperor's eldest son with him, personally raised, everyone in the palace knows that the emperor treats the emperor's eldest son very strictly, but is a three or four-year-old child, the emperor has asked him to read the four books and five classics, and personally teach him to ride and shoot.
Even the prince stood by and looked at the little child, and he was distressed. Concubine Yuan had a big quarrel with the emperor because of this matter, and the imperial concubine broke up unhappily, and the old people in the palace all knew that Concubine Yuan had a calm temperament, and even Yuezhu, who served her as a child, had never seen her get so angry.
No one knows what Concubine Yuan said to the emperor that day, but since then, the eldest son of the emperor has been taught by Concubine Yuan herself, and the kung fu of riding and archery is enlightened by the emperor.
In the Yuanyi Palace, Liang Bozhao personally questioned Liang Ting's homework, and in his deep pupils, a touch of approval finally floated.
Although Liang Ting is young, but under the careful teaching of Yongning, he is very modest and polite, and he is also full of admiration for Liang Bozhao.
Liang Bozhao retracted his gaze and spoke openly to the prince; "Go and ask Concubine Yuan to come over."
The princess was shocked, since Concubine Yuan returned to the palace with the emperor's eldest son, the two emperors and concubines have been living separately for many years, and Concubine Yuan has never slept in bed, which is a secret that everyone in the palace knows.
The prince didn't know Liang Bozhao's thoughts, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he only bowed down and said yes, and turned around to invite Yongning.
When he stepped into the Yuanyi Palace, there was only Liang Bozhao in a huge palace room.
Yongning bowed and saluted.
Liang Bozhao raised his hand slightly and motioned for her to get up.
"The emperor summoned Yongning late at night, I don't know why?" Yongning's eyes were as calm as water, and he asked Liang Bozhao.
Liang Bozhao handed her a scroll of bright yellow holy decrees.
Yongning's face changed slightly, she didn't answer, only looked at Liang Bozhao.
"If Yongning didn't guess wrong, this is an edict of abdication?" Her voice was extremely low.
Liang Bozhao nodded, "I will pass the throne to Ting'er." β
A touch of warmth welled up in Yongning's eyes, she tried her best to stop her tears, and a faint smile overflowed at the corner of her lips; "I've been thinking about how long you will last, I thought that when the Queen Mother's filial piety period expired, you would leave, but now that Ting'er is seven years old, I know that you should go."
"The auxiliary power is all handed over to you." Liang Bozhao said lightly.
Yongning closed her eyes, a line of tears slid down the corners of her eyes, her voice was soft, almost inaudible; "After you leave, I will guard this country for you. Jiangshan surnamed Liang. β
"Yongning...."
"Liang Bozhao, I once had a dream. In that dream, you are mine. I have fought with you to conquer the world, driven out the Hulu, I have worked hand in hand with you to kill the barbarians, I have lived and died with you, and won the world. In that dream, you have me in your heart. β
Liang Bozhao did not say anything.
"It was that dream that has sustained me to this day. Now, it's time to wake up from that dream. β
Yongning didn't tell him that in that dream, he was abandoned by Dong Ningxiang, and when he was most depressed, he was always by his side, giving him warmth and protection. When he lived and died several times, he was always by his side. His wife is her, his princess Dingbei is her, and his queen is also her.
Such a vivid dream often makes Yongning unable to tell whether it is a dream or a reality.
And now, he's finally leaving.
Say goodbye, there will be no time in the future.
Jiangnan, the small city is picturesque.
On the side of the road, there is a small tea shop, which is reserved for merchants to rest and quench their thirst.
In the afternoon, there was no one in the tea shop, and the tea boss was leaning on the table and napping, when he heard a deep and powerful male voice sound, "Shopkeeper, please drive a bowl of tea." β
Hearing this voice, the tea boss was shocked and woke up immediately.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the man was leading a black steed, and tied the reins to the pillar casually, and when he turned around, the shopkeeper saw his appearance, and his heart could not help but cheer.
He doesn't look young anymore, about forty years old, tall and burly, resolute and heroic, although he is wearing a cloth shirt, he is very powerful, and people can't ignore it.
In this small city in the south of the Yangtze River, there are few such characters.
The shopkeeper greeted him warmly, welcomed the person to the table and sat down, personally brought tea, and saw that the person was really thirsty, and took the bowl and drank it all, looking very heroic.
"Where do the guests come from?" The shopkeeper spoke southern dialect and praised; "Look at the guest's body, I'm afraid it's from the north, right?"
The visitor smiled slightly, shook his head, and said; "I came from Jingshi, and I passed through here on the way."
"Where are the guests going?" The shopkeeper was wiping the table and talking.
The visitor smiled, and after a moment, he spat out a sentence; "I don't know where I'm going."
The tea boss laughed when he heard this; The guest laughed.
The person who came also snorted slightly, and said to the tea boss; "I wonder if there is dry food in this store?"
The tea boss nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, the guests will wait a minute." "After that, he called to the back room;" Ah Feng, bring some cakes. β
After a while, I saw a teenage girl walking out of the back room with a sugar cake in her hand.
When the visitor saw this little girl, even if he was stunned, he did not move, his black eyes were bright, and he stared at the little girl in front of him like that.
Seeing this, the tea boss smiled and said; "This is the youngest daughter in the family, some of them recognize life, don't be surprised by the guests."
The visitor looked at the little girl in front of him, his voice was hoarse, and he said with a smile; "How old are you?"
The little girl's voice was crisp, with a sweet aroma, and she only replied to him; "It's eleven this year."
The person who came finally stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the top of the little girl's hair, Ah Feng looked at him, but said strangely; "Guest, why are your eyes red?"
The visitor smiled slightly, and his voice was gentle; "I have a daughter who is your age."
Ah Feng was a little timid, so he just ran away from him and returned to his father.
Looking at the father and daughter, the visitor didn't say anything, only put away the sugar cake, took out the silver from his arms, and put it on the table.
Seeing the guests get up, the tea boss greeted him; "Guests leaving? It's better to rest for a while. β
The person who came led the horse and smiled at the tea boss; "Thank you boss for good tea, farewell."
Seeing him turn over and get on the horse, his movements were done in one go, indescribably chic and neat, Ah Feng looked at the slight admiration floating in her eyes, she got out from behind her father and said to the man on the horse; "Guest, will you come again in the future?"
The visitor shook his head, put the sugar cake in his arms, and suddenly, his finger touched the jade bracelet.
He took out the jade bracelet and handed it to Ah Feng, "Little girl, here you go." β
Ah Feng took the jade bracelet, and he didn't know what it was, but when the tea boss on the side saw it, he was immediately shocked, and he was about to take the bracelet back and return it to the guests on the horse.
The person who came was already smiling slightly and said to Ah Feng; "Take it, little girl."
The owner of the bracelet, he will never see it again. What is the meaning of seeing things and thinking about people?
After speaking, he was already in the belly of a horse, and the horse was like an arrow from Xuan, heading towards the north, and it was far away in an instant.
Ah Fengwu held the bracelet by himself, his face was still in doubt, the tea boss just wanted to take the jade bracelet from his daughter's hand, and the guest came at this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Ah Feng was just about to follow his father back to the house, but he turned his eyes, but saw a little girl walking on the opposite street, the girl's snow-white little face, picturesque eyebrows, only the bridge of the nose was high, and when she looked closely, she was a little similar to the guest just now.
Ah Feng laughed and beckoned to the girl; "Jiu'er, Jiu'er, come quickly!"
Jiu'er also smiled when she heard Ah Feng's voice, and the two little sisters got together, and they had endless words.
Looking at the jade bracelet in Ah Feng's hand, Jiu'er said softly and said; "I also have one of this bracelet at home."
Ah Feng seems to be unbelieving; "Why, this was left to me by a passing guest."
Seeing that Ah Feng didn't believe it, Jiu'er was anxious, and just turned around to see her mother who was following her, she stomped her feet and shouted at Ning Xiang; "Mother, mother!"
When the people in the teahouse heard the child's voice, they also looked out, and saw a beautiful woman holding a bamboo basket with a smile on the corner of her lips, as if she was walking over like a lotus.
"How many times have I told you that you can't shout in the street." Ning Xiang's eyes were full of tenderness, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead for her daughter.
"Mother, look, do we also have one of these bracelets?" Jiu'er took the jade bracelet from Ah Feng's hand and handed it to her mother.
"Hey," Ning Xiang took the jade bracelet, and was also surprised, when she left Beijing with Jiu'er, she didn't have much jewelry on her body, only this pair of jade bracelets, when she came here to settle down, she gave one of them to live, and changed to a refreshing house to live, and the other has been staying at home, I don't think how this one can appear here.
The tea boss came out, and when he saw Ning Xiang holding a jade bracelet in his hand, he said; "Mrs. Liang, this bracelet is not the one in your house, this is a passing guest, he has a daughter who is the same age as Ah Feng, and when he saw Ah Feng, he remembered his daughter, so he gave this bracelet to Ah Feng."
After the tea boss finished speaking, he pointed to the tea shop and said; "Look, the guest has just left, and the tea bowl is still hot."
Ning Xiang looked along his fingers, and really saw a bowl resting on the table, faintly steaming.
It is not uncommon for the bracelet to fall into the hands of others after several tosses and turns here. Ning Xiang greeted the tea boss, then handed the jade bracelet to Ah Feng, and he took Jiu'er's body and said softly; "Let's go, my mother will take you home early today, and you won't be able to do the embroidery work I taught you yesterday."
Jiu'er stuck out her tongue, waved her hand to Ah Feng, and followed her mother home.
On the official road, the horses are still non-stop, moving farther and farther to the north.
After all, it is a deep relationship.
Poles apart
Never see each other again,
Thinking of one another,
Each has its own world.

Extra one
The early spring in Jiangnan is wet and fresh.
Aunt Mao got up early in the morning, and as soon as she went out, she saw that her beautiful female neighbor had already gotten up, holding a teenage girl in her hand.
"Yo, Mrs. Liang, where are you going with Jiu'er this early in the morning?" Aunt Mao is a warm-hearted person, seeing that the mother and daughter are going to go far away, she immediately stepped forward to ask.
Mrs. Liang pursed her lips and smiled, Lise suddenly came to life, Aunt Mao saw it in her eyes, and she only admired it in her heart, such a beautiful woman, I don't know where it came from, since seven years ago, she led her daughter to settle in this small city, at first some scoundrels in the city saw that there was no man in her family, and they would go to their door a few times if they had nothing to do, just like the headless fly, but I don't know why, it didn't take long for these people to be honest, even when they saw the mother and daughter on the street, they didn't dare to take a second look, It's just that this mother has some backgrounds behind her back, and she can't be contaminated.
Aunt Mao didn't feel that this Mrs. Liang had any origins, and after a few years of neighborhood work, she only felt that Mrs. Liang was gentle, soft and delicate, and she was a good woman, and even the housework was well organized, and she was really a rare Peugeot figure.
In the first two years, she watched the mother and daughter live their lives together, although the family background is quite solid, but there is always no man by her side. She also inquired side-by-side, and asked where Jiu'er's father was, and why she hadn't looked at him all along.
Whenever she asked like this, Mrs. Liang always smiled gently, and only said when she was in a hurry, her husband was doing business from afar, and he would come back one day.
And so on is seven years.
Aunt Mao was born dark and stout, and she was most unaccustomed to a beautiful and delicate woman like Mrs. Liang in her life, and she always felt that this kind of woman was a fox spirit, with a wave in her bones, and she was the most seductive. But the days have passed year by year, although this Mrs. Liang is in her prime, she is the most obedient, and she does not go out of the door on weekdays, and does not step out of the second door, leading her daughter to live a divided life. After a long time, Mrs. Mao's opinion of Mrs. Liang has changed a lot, and asking at this time is also a good intention, such a beautiful mother and two people are really worried about going far away.
"Aunt Mao, I'm going to take Jiu'er to the north of Xinjiang, and it may take a while to come back."
"What? Going to Northern Xinjiang? When Aunt Mao heard this, she was stunned; This is good, what are you going to do in the northern Xinjiang of Nalaoshzi? It's not for me to say, Mrs. Liang, where can you walk so far with your delicate body. Not to mention the desolation of northern Xinjiang, the wind and sand can eat people, where should you and Jiu'er go? β
When Ning Xiang heard this, she only bent her lips, and didn't say much, and the carriage that was to be hired arrived, so she took her daughter's hand and said goodbye to Aunt Mao.
Aunt Mao stayed where she was, watching the carriage go farther and farther, muttering vigorously in her heart, she couldn't figure out why Mrs. Liang took her daughter to such a far place for no reason.
In the carriage, the mother and daughter snuggled together.
"Mother, where is the northern frontier, not far away?" Jiu'er raised her head and looked at her mother.
Ning Xiang thought of Beijiang, and there was a trace of trance in her eyes, she gently stroked her daughter's hair, and said softly; "Northern Xinjiang is far, far away, my mother will take you there, you are obedient, okay?"
Jiu'er nodded, her white little face was full of well-behavedness, she snuggled into her mother's arms, and said; "Mother, why should we go to Northern Xinjiang?"
Ning Xiang looked at her daughter's face, Jiu'er had curved eyebrows and almond-like eyes, all of which looked like her. Only the straight bridge of the nose looks very much like that person.
Ning Xiang stretched out her hand and gently tapped the tip of her daughter's nose, she often looked at her daughter, and it was a long time to see, as if she wanted to see another person through her daughter's little face.
"My mother never told Jiu'er that Jiu'er has an older brother in Northern Xinjiang. Mother takes you to see him, hasn't Jiu'er always wanted to have a brother? β
When Jiu'er heard this, she immediately clapped her little hands, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she said happily; "Mother mean really? Do I really have an older brother? Is he in the North? β
Ning Xiang caressed her daughter's smile, and the corners of her lips also floated two pear vortices, and said to her daughter; "Yes, Jiu'er has an older brother, in a few days, it will be my brother's twelfth birthday, let's go celebrate my brother's birthday, okay?"
Jiu'er nodded vigorously, Ning Xiang pinched her daughter's little face, smiled slightly, and took the child in her arms.
The carriage galloped all the way, day and night, towards the northern frontier. Ning Xiang didn't pay any attention to it, and quietly followed the two men behind their carriage. Accompanied by a merchant all the way, protecting the mother and daughter.
Northern Xinjiang is located in the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, has always been full of wind and sand, the cold wind is biting, Ning Xiang has lived in Northern Xinjiang for many days many years ago, the severe cold of Northern Xinjiang has been deeply experienced, Jiu'er since he has memory, has been living in the picturesque Jiangnan town, where has been such a remote and bitter cold place, when the carriage just entered the territory of Northern Xinjiang, Jiu'er has been unable to parry, pouted, it seems that he is about to cry.
Ning Xiang covered the child's clothes, and looked at her daughter's aggrieved little face, naturally distressed.
"Jiu'er, don't cry, in a few days, we will be able to see my brother."
"Well, Jiu'er doesn't cry, my mother and Jiu'er said that my father is a big hero, I am his daughter, I can't cry."
Suddenly, I heard the child talk about that person, Ning Xiang's heart was full of sorrow, but the tip of her nose was sour, and there was warm water vapor filling the corners of her eyes, once upon a time, she was such a crying woman, her joys, sorrows and sorrows were all tied to that person, and I don't know how many tears she shed for him.
But in the past seven years, she has never cried again.
Ning Xiang sniffed and smiled reluctantly at her daughter; "Yes, Jiu'er's father is a big hero, Jiu'er doesn't cry, and her mother doesn't cry."
Having said that, when the carriage drove into northern Xinjiang, the memories of many years ago were so turbulent, she always thought that she had forgotten, so many unforgettable pasts had long passed with the years, but it was not until she returned to northern Xinjiang, returned to this place where she had been haunted by her dreams, experienced joy and sorrow, and knew that she had not forgotten at all.
The hot ground under his feet was the place where the man swore to defend to the death, the place where they depended on each other, and the place where they lost their children.
One by one, all the same, all buried in the depths of memory, how can you forget, how dare you forget.
Even though for so many years, that person's name has been forced by her to be pressed back by her, at this time, those three words are surging in her heart, shouting, and wanting to break out.
Liang Bozhao.....
Ning Xiang clenched her hands tightly, until her nails pinched the flesh, she could be regarded as taking her mind back, and talked to her daughter about the next thing, deliberately forgetting the person.
In the evening, Ning Xiang led her daughter to find an inn for business travelers to rest, and the hired coachman was already sleepy, so he hurriedly said hello to the mother and daughter, and went into the room to rest.
Ning Xiang put Jiu'er to sleep, but she tossed and turned, and she couldn't sleep at night.
She got up quietly, took out a pair of jade bracelets from her arms, and looked at them carefully under the lamp.
When she left Beijing that day, she didn't bring any jewelry with her, only this pair of bracelets, even if the style is simple, in the end it is also a palace thing, and when she gets it to the pawnshop, even if she is lowered by the boss, the silver in exchange is enough for their mother and daughter to have no worries about food and clothing.
I thought that this would be the case, she and that person, just like these jade bracelets, were separated after all, and they would never get together again. Who would have thought that she would see this bracelet that was taken away by herself from the hand of the tea boss.
I thought that the bracelet was redeemed in the pawnshop, and after several tosses, I didn't know who it fell into......
It's just a thought.
When she took her daughter's hand and took the child home, she gradually figured out the difference.
For a moment, her heart was like a knife, and even she felt surprised by the pain, even when she was far away in the capital, watching him and the princess who were high up guarding their son, her heart had never hurt so much.
She returned to the tea shop, hoarsely voiced, and asked the tea owner about the passing merchant who left the jade bracelet.
Seeing that her face was white, the tea boss was shocked, but he still told her the person's appearance in detail.
The tea boss said that the man was a burly man, with a strong appearance, thick black sword eyebrows, sharp eyes like a falcon, a tall nose, and sharp edges and corners.
After speaking, the tea boss's eyes fell on Jiu'er, and he hesitated for a long time before he lowered his voice and said; "Mrs. Liang, let me say a word, don't go to your heart, take a closer look, your Jiu'er is a bit similar to that guest, especially this nose, it's like a mold carved out, this..."
The tea boss stopped talking.
Ning Xiang was cold, her heart seemed to be held in her hand, and she grabbed it hard from time to time, and she couldn't breathe because of the pain.
It turned out that it was really him.
"That man, will he come again?" Her voice was as light as dust.
"The guest said that he came from the capital, passed by here on the way, and was afraid that he would never come again."
Ning Xiang held it up and asked again; "Then he, did he say where to go?"
At this time, the tea boss had already seen a little frown, guessing that the passing guest should have some relationship with Ning Xiang's mother and daughter. Seeing Ning Xiang asking, he answered truthfully; The guest said he didn't know where he was going.
He didn't know where he was going.....
Ning Xiang's heart was unbearably sour, tears suddenly rushed into her eyes, she tried her best to hold back, she just stood like that, and after a long while, she muttered; "So in which direction did he go?"
The tea boss wiped his hand on the sweat towel and pointed to the north; "The guest went down the official road, and he rode his horse, afraid that he was already far away by this time."
Ning Xiang turned around and looked at the official road in the north, but she couldn't see anything except the dust raised.
"Mrs. Liang, although this bracelet was given to Ah Feng by the guest, but if you think it is only a pair with your family, Madame should take this bracelet."
The tea boss has been in business for many years, and he has already become a human spirit, and even this bracelet is afraid that it has a great background, and then he remembered the rumors he had heard, so he offered it with both hands and let Ning Xiang accept it.
Ning Xiang's fingertips trembled slightly, and it was easy to take the jade bracelet, she didn't know how she thanked the tea boss, and how she took her daughter's little hand and walked home.
On the way, she saw a few officials and put a notice on the city wall, and all the people around her surrounded her, and before long, the noise rang out.
It turned out that the current emperor had abdicated and passed the dragon chair to the emperor's eldest son.
"This emperor is in his prime, why did he say that he would abdicate without saying a word, how old is the eldest son of the emperor, how can a drooping child take care of the country."
Someone gathered in one place and whispered there.
"Don't worry about this, I heard that the eldest son of the emperor is the mother of Concubine Yuan, this Concubine Yuan is amazing, even the dragon chair on the emperor has a credit to Yuan Niangniang, with her, the surname Liang can't be messed up."
"But this is so good, why does the emperor want to abdicate? This abdication, what is he going to do? Could it be that he also went to the palace like the queen and became a pair of immortals? β
"It's not, when the emperor overthrew the previous dynasty, it took a lot of effort, and if you weren't careful, it was a big deal for the nine clans, how could you work so hard to get the country, say don't, don't want it?"
As soon as this sentence fell, all the onlookers agreed, Ning Xiangmu stood there in a daze, she didn't know if she was dreaming, that person spent half a lifetime of hard work, nine deaths, and only got the country, how could she not want it?
"Mother, Jiu'er is hungry." It wasn't until her daughter shook her hand that she pulled her sanity back, and Ning Xiang wanted to make a sound, but she couldn't open her mouth at all, just afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't suppress her crying.
That step by step was like walking on a knife, she had only one thought, why, why did he abdicate, why did he leave the country, Yongning, and Liang Ting?
She didn't know, she didn't know anything, only the jade bracelet, which she held tightly in the palm of her hand, and made a pair with the one at home, and since that day, she has been collecting it closely.
Just like at this time, Ning Xiang took out this pair of jade bracelets again, her hands gently stroked every inch of jade, although it was the same two bracelets, one of them was far warmer than the other, it was the one given by the tea boss, at a glance, it was often touched, so it would have such a delicate luster.
Ning Xiang lifted the bracelet, in this silent and bleak cold night, in the territory he once guarded, in the land where their son was buried, her tears were caught off guard, one by one rolled down from her eyes, hitting the delicate jade, she didn't know why she was crying, even when she was with him, she always cried a lot, so that he was playfully called "tear bag", but after so many years, she never shed tears again, and she always thought that all the tears of her life had been given to him, Without him, she would never cry again, but who would have thought that when she saw this jade bracelet, she would still burst into tears as before, and she would become the "tear bag" again. β
Ning Xiang didn't know how long she cried, until a childish "Mother....", she hurriedly wiped away her tears, and when she turned around, she saw Jiu'er waking up at some point, leaning on the head of the bed and looking at herself.
She forced a smile, walked to her daughter's side, and said softly; "Why did Jiu'er wake up?"
Jiu'er stretched out her soft little hand, gently stroked her mother's face, looked at her mother's red and swollen eyes, and the girl's voice was delicate, and asked Ning Xiang cautiously; "Mother, do you miss your father?"
The child's soft words pierced Ning Xiang's heart, she opened her face slightly, and the tears she had just suppressed couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
This is the first time Jiu'er has seen her mother cry since she can remember.
The little child panicked, only the landlord touched his mother's neck, and his voice was also crying; "Mother, don't cry, Daddy doesn't want us anymore, and we don't want him anymore. Mother, with Jiu'er with you, don't think about your father. β
Ning Xiang hugged her daughter's body, this little child should have been the most noble princess in the world, she should have lived a life of brocade clothes and food, and a group of slaves, but she had to live such a hard life with her.
And her father, why didn't he want them, it was she, she chose the book of harmony, and she left him with the child, it was she, she didn't want him first.
Ning Xiang stroked the top of her daughter's hair, her eyes were full of tears, and she said a sentence over and over again; "It's my mother who is sorry for Jiu'er, it's my mother who is sorry for you...."
Thinking of that person, Ning Xiang only felt that her heart was broken, she didn't know where he was, back then, he was also so aimless, and came to Luokou Village alone, and now, he doesn't know where to stay, and will he meet another "fragrant wife" again?
In northern Xinjiang, the wind and sand are so big that people can't open their eyes.
Ning Xiang and Jiu'er were wrapped in turbans and walked towards the cemetery step by step.
Two years ago, on the 10th anniversary of the child's death, she thought about bringing her daughter over, but she caught up with Jiu'er and had a rash, and Ning Xiang didn't dare to be careless, so she delayed it, and it was not until now that it was completed.
Although twelve years have passed, the child she has never met is still the softest place in her heart.
When she thinks of this child lying alone in the northern Xinjiang, Ning Xiang will always feel like a needle prick, it is the first child she gave birth to for the man she loves, and it is also the child they are looking forward to.
At last, at the grave of the poor child.
I thought it was just a small dirt bag, but I didn't think about it, but there was a stele erected in front of the tomb, Ning Xiang has recognized a lot of words over the years because Jiu'er has studied with Mr. Teach, and he can see that the tombstone is not engraved with anything else, it is "the tomb of Liang Geng", a few big characters.
The handwriting was so strong that she could recognize it as his handwriting at a glance.
Liang Geng, she never knew that he also named the child.
The grave was already overgrown with weeds, but this tombstone was brand new, and Ning Xiang stared straight at the tombstone, as if she was stupid.
"Mother," Jiu'er shook Ning Xiang's sleeves and said; "Where's my brother?"
Ning Xiang's voice was hoarse, almost trembling and unable to speak; "Brother, here it is."
Jiu'er glanced at the tombstone, only to understand that her brother was no longer alive, and she was also sad in her heart, but after all, she was still a child, and it didn't take long to leave this matter behind.
"Mother, look, there's something there." As he spoke, Jiu'er walked to the tomb, stretched out his little hand to remove the thick wind and sand, and what was buried by the wind and sand was revealed, which was a pair of tiger head shoes.
Jiu'er picked up the shoes and handed them to her mother, "Mother, there are a pair of shoes here." β
Ning Xiang trembled her fingers and took the pair of small shoes, she looked around, but saw that there was a vast expanse everywhere, how could there be a shadow of that person?
"Xianggong...."Ning Xiang finally shouted these two words.
I haven't shouted it for so many years, but I didn't think that these two words could still be spit out smoothly from my mouth.
"Xianggong!" Ning Xiang shouted the two words in her heart loudly towards the empty expanse, and her tears kept rolling down from her eyes, drop by drop, almost wetting the turban.
Looking at her heartbreaking mother, Jiu'er was a little scared, and only shouted glutinously; "Mother...."
Ning Xiang didn't seem to hear her daughter's voice, she was still holding the pair of tiger head shoes, shouting two words everywhere, and the words were bloody.
But the person she was crying out for all her heart still didn't come back.
After returning from Northern Xinjiang, Ning Xiang fell seriously ill, and when she woke up, she saw Jiu'er standing in front of the bed, and with her, there were two young people who had never seen her.
Seeing Ning Xiang wake up, the two of them glanced at each other and knelt down, "Weichen has seen Niangniang." β
"Who are you?" Ning Xiang's eyes were full of surprise, looking at the two men.
"Niangniang Rong, Weichen was ordered by the emperor to hide beside the mother and the princess, and protect the mother and the princess."
After speaking, one of the men was silent for a moment, only lowering his head; "Over the years, Wechen has not dared to reveal his identity, but this time the mother is seriously ill, and Wechen has to show up."
"You know him.... Where? Ning Xiang asked this sentence in a hoarse voice.
The two looked at each other and had to tell the truth; "The emperor has abdicated, but where he went, Weichen doesn't know."
Ning Xiang's heart was cold.
After Ning Xiang recovered from her illness, she packed up her softness and left this small town in the south of the Yangtze River with her daughter who had lived for seven years.
The two young men followed from a distance, Ning Xiang and her daughter were in the carriage together, and they saw Jiu'er looking at her mother in confusion, and said; "Mother, where are we going this time?"
"Let's go home."
"Isn't our family in Jiangnan?"
"No, our family is in Luokou Village."
Ning Xiang's voice was soft and firm.
A month later.
At dusk, Ning Xiang finally took her daughter's hand and returned to her hometown after many years of absence.
It was still in that village, and when she left, she was only seventeen years old, and now, she is almost thirty.
Many people don't know her anymore, only some older ones, after seeing Ning Xiang, came up with her as the daughter of the Dong family.
Ning Xiang led her daughter step by step through the path in the village, and finally returned to the small farm yard. That was her and Liang Bozhao's original home.
"Mother, where is this?" Jiu'er opened her mouth.
"This is my father and mother's home, and in the future, we will live here and wait for my father to come back."
"Will Daddy come back? Is he .... Forgot about us for a long time? Ten-year-old Jiu'er is already sensible, after saying this, Jiu'er lowered his eyes and showed a gloomy look.
"He won't forget us, Jiu'er accompanies his mother and waits for him to come back. Luckily? β
Jiu'er looked at her mother's eager eyes and nodded slightly.
Ning Xiang smiled slightly, took her daughter's hand, and pushed open the courtyard door.
I thought that no one had lived in it for many years, and the yard had already been overgrown in grass and dilapidated, but when Ning Xiang pushed the door open, he was stunned.
The courtyard is clean and simple, at a glance, there are people living in it, the firewood is neatly stacked in the corner of the wall, which is no different from when she left home, and even the wall of the courtyard is hung with red peppers, it seems that she has never left.
The smoke curls on the stove, and when you smell it, it is the fragrance of rice porridge.
Ning Xiang's body trembled, she looked at all this in disbelief, and after a long time, she took a step and walked into this farmhouse.
Hearing the movement outside, footsteps sounded in the inner room, obviously someone walked out, Ning Xiang heard the familiar footsteps, and the whole person was stunned.
There was a "squeak", and the door was pushed open, revealing a face that was no longer young, but still heroic and resolute.
It's Liang Bozhao.
The moment he saw Ning Xiang, there was an undercurrent in the man's dark and deep eyes, and he stood there motionless, the two of them looked at each other like that, and even Jiu'er just stood aside, not daring to disturb him.
At last, the man spoke, his voice low and hoarse, thick and peaceful, slowly spitting out a few words; "You're back."

Extra 2 - Past and present lives
The imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother have four sons, the father is the fourth, was named the king of Changping, because it is the old and young, the father has been very favored by the imperial grandmother since childhood, so that when I was born, because it was the youngest girl in the family, the imperial grandmother was happy, and ordered me to be raised in the deep palace.
The deep palace is lonely, I have nothing to do, I like to listen to those old grandmothers tell me stories, and the most I talk about them is naturally the stories of my grandparents.
Every time I hear Gong E talk about the past of our Liang family, I am very proud, this great thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, my grandparents fought side by side, and now, it is all countries to come to the court, Yidi surrendered.
The world says that my imperial grandfather Wen Ke ruled the country, and Wu Neng Anbang conquered the world on horseback. In the final analysis, there is something wrong in this world after all, because the imperial grandfather was the king of Dingbei in the previous dynasty, and my grandmother was the princess of the previous dynasty, that is to say, the imperial grandfather's world was snatched from the hands of my grandmother's mother's family.
You see, there's a story when you hear it, doesn't it?
The emperor's grandfather has fought all his life in the world, crisscrossing the battlefield, and he has really been on horseback for half his life, and my imperial grandmother, once the most noble princess, has followed the left and right for many years, even the eldest uncle Guangping King, the second Uncle Xihai King was born in the army, the world talks about them, all with "the couple is deeply in love", "the flounder is deep" and other numb words about them, and there are some Wenchen who loves to pat on the back, chanting poems, and can't wait to stuff all the good words in this world on the grandparents.
So, when I heard that the imperial grandmother was not the original wife of the imperial grandfather, I was stunned.
Could it be that the imperial grandfather married a wife in the people?
I pestered my grandmother to talk to me in detail. The grandmother was frightened, covered my mouth, and whispered; "My little ancestor, your imperial grandmother is the most taboo for others to talk about this, the old slave doesn't ask where you heard it from, you must not mention it in front of your imperial grandmother, remember?"
Look, she is as proud as the emperor's grandmother, and she really keeps it secret that she is not the wife of the emperor's grandfather.
Since I wasn't allowed to ask the imperial grandmother, then I would ask the imperial grandfather.
When I ran to the Yuanyi Palace, I saw that the emperor's grandfather was approving the folding, and when the prince saw me, he hurriedly trotted over, and was about to take me away, I turned around and shouted to my grandfather; "Grandpa!"
Grandpa Huang is already old, and the sharp eyes that used to be like eagles and falcons have also dimmed, he squinted at me for a moment, put the fold on the desk, and a smile already appeared on his lips, "Ah Luo." β
Grandpa Huang called me.
This name was given to me by the imperial grandfather, before I was born, the eldest uncle's family and the second uncle's family had two sisters, but they all died, the entire Liang family did not have a female baby, when I was born, the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother were very expensive, and the imperial grandfather personally gave this name.
Ah Luo, my name is Liang Ah Luo.
I ran to the imperial grandfather, the imperial grandfather is really old, his hair is already more white, less black, even the beard is gray, his face is deep and contoured, but full of wrinkles, and you can vaguely see a bit of the former heroic.
I think that the imperial grandfather must have been very handsome when he was young, otherwise, how could the high-ranking imperial grandmother look at him as a prince who was born in the common people and got ahead with his military exploits?
"Why are you here, to take your grandmother?" Grandpa Huang spoke softly, stretched out his arm and hugged me in his lap.
"Grandpa Huang, Ah Luo has something to ask you." I am only six years old, and I am spoiled by my grandparents, parents, uncles and brothers on weekdays, and I am not afraid of anything even in front of the emperor's grandfather.
"Oh, what's the matter with Arrow?" Grandpa Huang smiled and nodded my nose.
"Grandpa Huang, Ah Luo heard that Grandmother Huang is not your first wife, is she?"
The smile on the corner of Grandpa's lips froze, he looked into my eyes, but he didn't ask me where I heard this, he didn't even get angry, he just touched the top of my hair and told me; "Yes."
"And who was your first wife? How come I never met her? β
I'm very curious, you know, the imperial grandfather for so many years, is dedicated to the imperial grandmother, these six palaces do not even have a favorite concubine, listen to the mother concubine, many years ago the imperial grandfather had a tea palace girl, what is the name of jade, the imperial grandmother knew, it was simply a sea of vinegar, at that time the imperial grandmother was still pregnant with the second uncle, but also ruthless, while the imperial grandfather went out of the palace to fight, the imperial grandmother ordered someone to remove the jade concubine, I heard that the jade concubine at that time was pregnant.
In fact, the imperial grandmother has never been a narrow-minded woman, over the years, she has drafted for the imperial grandfather several times, filling the harem, but somehow, she can't tolerate that jade concubine. And the imperial grandfather has lost interest in those women since the jade concubine, even in the beautiful women, they are like wood in his eyes.
There were rumors in the palace in private, all of which said that the reason why the jade concubine was favored was because she looked a little similar to the emperor's wife, and because of this resemblance, she became the emperor's grandfather's blue eyes.
These words fell on the ears of the imperial grandmother, and it was another bloody storm. I heard that many people had their tongues pulled out by the order of the imperial grandmother, and it was scary to think about.
When the imperial grandfather heard my words, he only smiled faintly and said; "She's dead."
"Huh? She's dead? "I accidentally said the word "death", in front of the emperor's grandfather, this word is a big taboo, but I can't say it.
I bit my lip secretly, but fortunately, the imperial grandfather didn't bother with me at all, his eyes looked into the distance, over the heavy palace wall, his voice was heard in his ears, with two points of amazement, two points of powerlessness, "Yes, she is dead." β
"That.... How did she die? "Seeing that grandpa himself said that word, I am not afraid.
Grandpa Huang didn't answer me, just stroked my little face, and said helplessly; "Children's family, how can you ask so much."
I pouted, but I broke the sand jar and asked the end; "Then the imperial grandfather told Ah Luo, where did you meet?"
Grandpa Huang's eyes floated with a hint of reminiscence, he looked into my eyes and told me slowly: "In Luokou Village." β
"Luokou Village?" I chewed on these three words, and suddenly realized, "Grandpa Huang, you named me Aluo, does it mean Luokou Village?" β
Grandpa Huang smiled, touched my head, and did not speak.
My curiosity has intensified, since the imperial grandfather can choose to name me Aro, it can be seen that he misses his first wife very much, otherwise he would not use the place where they first met as my name.
"Grandpa Huang, is she very good to you, so you can't forget her?"
I take it for granted that a woman who can make a hero like Grandpa who rides a horse all his life think about it for a lifetime must be in love with him and considerate to him in every way.
"No," Grandpa shook his head, "she never liked me, never." β
Grandpa Huang hooked his lips, I had never seen him smile so desolately.
"Grandpa Huang is the emperor, in this world, how can there be a woman who doesn't like you?"
Grandpa Huang didn't speak.
I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I heard my mother and second aunt vaguely say that the emperor's grandfather's wife had betrayed the emperor's grandfather, ran away with someone, and left the emperor's grandfather to return to Beijing alone, and then the emperor's grandmother was by the emperor's grandfather's side, taking care of them in every possible way, comforting them in many ways, and the two tied the knot.
I cautiously looked at my grandfather in front of me, hesitated for a while, and still had the courage to ask him; "Grandpa Huang, did she leave you behind and you married your grandmother?"
"You kid, you really don't have rules." Grandpa Huang shook his head, as if he was helpless against me.
"Then the imperial grandfather, after you became the emperor, why didn't you go to her? Even if she follows someone else, you can snatch her back and make her a concubine. β
"By the time I went to look for her, she was gone." The emperor's voice was low, with a faint wry smile, and after speaking, he said another word; "Even if you are the Son of Heaven, everything can't go as expected."
Even if you are the Son of Heaven, everything will not go well.
I suddenly felt sad.
Very sad.
"Grandpa Huang, don't be sad, it's all her bad, if she knows that you are the emperor, she must even regret her intestines."
"She's right, a sixteen-year-old girl, how can she be wrong." This sentence, the imperial grandfather seems to be talking to himself, I have never seen such a heavy loneliness in the imperial grandfather, he is the hero of the world, he is the emperor of Daqian, he is the king of Dingbei who shocked the northern Xinjiang back then, he is Liang Bozhao who frightened the Hu people! "The beam of Dingbei, the majesty is prominent", even I, a hairy girl, have heard these eight words.
That's a legend that belongs to the emperor's grandfather.
I didn't know what to say, but the imperial grandfather glanced at me, patted my head, and said to me; "Go, Grandpa Huang still has excerpts to see, go find your nurse."
I saw that the emperor's eyes were full of bloodshots, for so many years, he has been the most diligent and loving emperor in the world, even two years ago in the northwest Yidi came to attack, the emperor who was over sixty years old still had a strong heart and did not change, and the royal drive was personally recruited, and it was passed down as a good story by the people for a while.
But at this time, when I clearly saw the wrinkles in the corners of the emperor's eyes, I knew that the emperor's grandfather was really old.
I couldn't bear to be disturbed, I just stood up and made a big salute to the emperor's grandfather, and before I could leave, I saw Yuezhu, the big palace maid of Fengyi Palace, coming in a hurry and kneeling on the ground; "Your Majesty, it's not good, the queen fainted....."
"What?" The emperor's grandfather was shocked, and immediately stood up and walked out of the Yuanyi Palace. I also hurriedly followed.
Grandpa Huang walked all the way like the wind, although he was an old man in his sixties, I was still out of breath as a little girl.
When I arrived at Fengyi Palace, I saw that the mother and the eldest aunt were already guarding there, and the emperor's grandmother's health had not been very good these days, and several aunts and concubines had taken turns to enter the palace to serve the sick.
When she saw me, her mother took my hand, because I lived in the palace all the year round, my mother rarely had the opportunity to see me, and every time she saw me, she had to hold me for a long time.
Through the bright yellow veil, I watched the imperial grandfather standing in front of the imperial grandmother's bed, he held the imperial grandmother's hand, and softly called the grandmother's maiden name.
and rhyme.
My grandmother, surnamed Yuan, was named Heyun, and her title was Yongning. Even now, the Great Qi Dynasty has been extinct for more than twenty years, and some people call their grandmother "Princess Yongning" in private. β
"You're here." After a long time, my grandmother woke up slowly, and the moment she saw the emperor's grandfather, my grandmother smiled slightly, even if she was old, her grandmother was still beautiful, graceful and luxurious, and dignified and atmospheric.
"I'm here with you."
The emperor's grandfather's voice was gentle, and he was like two people who were not angry and self-threatening.
The Imperial Grandmother chuckled and nodded.
The imperial grandfather really did as he said, and stayed with the imperial grandmother for the remaining days, and the imperial doctor told the imperial grandfather in private that he was afraid that the imperial grandmother would not survive the winter.
Uncle and father are very sad, aunt and mother are also secretly crying, the imperial grandmother likes me the most on weekdays, and when she is seriously ill, she has always kept me in front of the bed to accompany her, with the imperial grandfather.
On that day, the sun was shining, and the afternoon sun shone on the body, making people drowsy.
The imperial grandmother leaned on the pillow and gossiped with the imperial grandfather, and I played with origami on the side, folding them while eavesdropping on them.
"All these years have passed so fast, in the blink of an eye, Aro is so old." The imperial grandmother's breath was weak, and when I listened to it, my heart was uncomfortable.
Maybe it's really as the imperial doctor said, the imperial grandmother can't last long.
The imperial grandfather sat in front of the bed, peeling the oranges for his grandmother, and he carefully removed the veins on the orange petals and sent them to the imperial grandmother's mouth.
The imperial grandmother smiled like a flower and said softly; "We're getting old, too."
Grandpa Huang also smiled and patted Grandma Huang's hand.
The imperial grandmother rested for a moment, and then said; "I often think that if there is a next life, I still want to marry you and accompany you, I don't know, will you get tired of me."
I stopped the origami paper in my hand and quietly looked at the imperial grandmother on the phoenix bed, and saw that her face exuded a strange luster, as if it was back to the light.
I was startled by my own thoughts, and I saw the imperial grandfather leaning down slightly, stretched out his hand to caress the aging face of the imperial grandmother, and said softly; "If there is a next life, you will be my only wife."
The imperial grandmother's eyes bloomed with brilliance, and at that moment, she looked many years younger, and she was rare to have the demeanor of the most beautiful princess in Daqi back then.
I know that because the imperial grandmother is not the wife of the imperial grandfather, she has been pregnant in her heart for a lifetime, and when she is dying, she has been with the imperial grandfather for a lifetime, and she still thinks about this in her heart.
finally got the promise of the imperial grandfather, and the imperial grandmother ended with a smile.
Grandpa had been holding my grandmother's hand, he didn't cry, and when my grandmother was buried, I found that my grandfather's gray beard had turned white in a few days.
Three years later, the imperial grandfather followed the imperial grandmother. The two emperors and queens were buried together in Qianling, and the story of the emperor and queen fighting side by side has been spread among the people for a long time.

The three ββββ people grow and hate the water and grow in the east
It seems to be a long, long dream, and when Yongning woke up, he found himself in the Lotus Fragrance Palace.
There was still a smile on the corner of her lips, Liang Bozhao's sentence "If there is an afterlife, you are my only wife" seemed to be still next to her ears, she looked around, her eyes were surprised, and then looked at her hands, which were a pair of ten-fingered delicate, white and delicate hands, the skin was as delicate as jade, and it would not be a pair of old women's hands at all.
She tried to keep her mind steady, and got out of bed to take the mirror, which showed a beautiful and noble face, which she knew was exactly what she looked like in her early twenties.
She is clearly gone, how can she go back to when she was in her twenties?
Yongning took a deep breath and called out two words; "Someone."
"Princess." Yuezhu entered in response and saluted her slightly.
At this time, Yuezhu was also young, and his pink face seemed to be able to pinch out water.
Yongning squeezed his palm fiercely, and sharp pain came, telling her that this was not a dream.
Yongning looked at her quietly, and saw that the palace clothes worn by Yuezhu were made of Shu brocade, Shu brocade has always been precious, and her father would always give her new clothes, and Yuezhu's Shu brocade, if Yongning is not mistaken, it was Hongzhang's fifteenth year, from Sichuan Shu into the palace, she thought the color was too gorgeous, so it was given to Yuezhu.
15th year of Hongzhang.....
Yongning's eyelids jumped, she looked at the remnants of the lotus outside the palace, and realized that it was the early autumn of the fifteenth year of Hongzhang, according to the memory of her previous life, she knew that Liang Bozhao had returned to the capital at this time, she had ordered someone to inquire, and learned that Liang Bozhao lived in seclusion in Luokou Village, and married a wife, but the wife eloped with others, provoking Liang Bozhao to write and leave the book, and return to Beijing alone.
She looked at Yuezhu and asked; "Has the Marquis of Dingbei ever returned to Beijing?"
Yuezhu was stunned, as if she didn't understand why the princess had such a question; "Princess, the Marquis of Dingbei has written to the court and discharged his military power, and the slaves and maids don't know where he went, and he has never returned to Beijing."
"He didn't come back?" Yongning's heart was shocked, and he tried his best to count the date, recalling his previous life, he did return to Beijing at this time, and in the crisis, Kuang helped Sheji, and was reused by his father and the emperor to start a war with the Divine Eagle Kingdom.
It was also in this battle that she disguised herself as a man and followed him all the way, and finally touched his heart, so that in the future, she would be in the same boat through thick and thin, give birth to four sons, support each other, and live a lifetime.
But now, why hasn't he returned to Beijing?
It has been a few days since I got the news of Liang Bozhao.
The letter said that Liang Bozhao returned to Qinzhou with his wife.
With his wife....
Yongning was disturbed by those two words, in his last life, he just returned to Beijing alone, how could he have returned to his hometown with his wife?
Could it be that she was reborn in a lifetime, and the world is no longer the same as in her previous life?
Yongning made a decision immediately, and immediately ordered Yuezhu that she wanted to leave the palace and go to Liang Bozhao.
No matter what changes have changed in this life, Liang Bozhao's promise has always hung in his heart, he said that if there is an afterlife, she will be his only wife.
On the way, Yongning couldn't help but secretly hate, secretly hating why she was reborn so late, why she wanted to be reborn after he married a wife in Luokou Village, although she had never seen the Dong family, but she also knew how badly the Dong family injured Liang Bozhao in his previous life. There is nothing in this world that makes a man more unable to let go of it than the betrayal of his wife.
What Dong gave him was an untouchable scar, even if he later reigned in the world, his wife was in his arms, and Zhen'er was around his knees, he could not erase the past injury, perhaps, throughout his life, he never forgot Dong.
It was his first wife.
Yongning sat in the carriage, sighed slightly in her heart, she remembered the jade concubine in her previous life, the woman who was originally a tea palace maid, she took the opportunity to approach Liang Bozhao by taking advantage of her pregnancy, after the Spring Festival once, she had ordered someone to bring the jade concubine to herself, she originally did not plan to deal with her, and even named her a concubine, but that sentence made her murderous.
"The emperor mistook me for someone else and called me incense."
Ning Xiang is Dong's boudoir name.
Concubine Yu didn't know that her casual words would cause her to kill herself. And Yongning himself didn't understand why he had murderous intent just for the word "incense".
Xu is jealous, jealous that the woman is the wife married by her husband, even if the red apricot is out of the wall, it still leaves a place in Liang Bozhao's heart.
When he arrived in Qinzhou, Liang Bozhao was about to leave.
This is the second time she has come to Qinzhou, the first time, is when Liang Bozhao wrote to the imperial court and unloaded the military power, he just returned to his hometown with his front foot, and she chased after her back foot, but unfortunately, only the day before she came to Qinzhou, Liang Bozhao left his hometown alone because his mother did not allow it, and no one knew where he went.
She waited for several days in Qinzhou, but finally had to set foot on the road back to Beijing. If she could have stopped him a little faster, earlier, when he left Qinzhou, how could he have gone to Luokou Village, how could he have met the Dong family?
When Yongning thought of this, he felt that creation made people. can remember the fight with men in her previous life, which only made her heart relieved again.
I still remember that when she gave birth to her second son Liang Qing, it happened to be a difficult birth, and the military doctor once asked Liang Bozhao whether he was protecting the adult or the child, and he stayed outside the tent and spit out three words sonorously; "Paula-sama."
A smile appeared on the corner of Yongning's lips, she knew that the Dong family and him would eventually reconcile, and she was the one who stayed by his side and joined hands with him for life.
She never thought she would be so wrong.
When she was in Qinzhou, trying her best to stabilize her mind and inviting her in the name of "going out of the mountain", she had carefully looked at Liang Bozhao's expression, but whenever there was a trace of his previous life, she would be desperate and wanted to throw herself into his arms, celebrating God for giving them a chance to do it again.
However, it didn't.
She was reborn, she was Yongning in her previous life, but the Liang Bozhao in front of her was only Liang Bozhao in this life.
She had to suppress all her emotions and only planned to think in the long run, but when she saw him take Dong's waist with her own eyes, she said, "It's that Neiko doesn't understand the rules, which makes the princess smile." β
Her heart was slightly suffocated, and then she was flustered like she had never been, she tried her best to stabilize herself, looking at Liang Bozhao's eyes again and again, she couldn't believe it, could it be that he had really forgotten himself and was not remembering the events of his previous life?
For the Dong family, she didn't think too much, only looked at her, I thought that this Dong family had betrayed her husband in her previous life and had an affair with the man next to her, she must be a debauchery, who knew that at a glance, she felt that this woman was pure and delicate, and looked at Liang Bozhao's eyes, which were full of attachment, as if everything in this world was not as important as a Liang Bozhao.
How could such a woman turn her back on her husband? According to Liang Bozhao's temperament, how could he leave behind such a woman who only has herself in her heart?
Thinking about this, she panicked.
On the way back to Beijing, she only felt chills all over her body, cold all over the world, and her heart and lungs were full of cold.
She didn't know what went wrong, but let the woman who should have been reconciled with her husband still accompany Liang Bozhao and get his love.
Almost for a moment, she thought of letting go.
Since he accompanied Liang Bozhao all his life in his previous life, there is nothing wrong with having Dong accompany him in this life.
However, she stretched out her hand and slowly touched her heart, why, why did her heart hurt so much?
watched her husband being snatched away by the woman next to her, watched the man who had been in bed with him for more than 30 years protect the woman next to him in his arms, and looked at the man he loved, and never remembered their life and death together.
She once accompanied him, step by step from the Marquis of Dingbei, to the king of Dingbei, and from the king of Dingbei, step by step to the core of power. She did her best to help her husband's family, even if she was infamous all over the world.
As early as the moment she married him, she was a member of the Liang family. She is no longer Yuan Heyun, but Liang Yuan Heyun.
She accompanied him to the place where she was invincible, and she accompanied him wherever she went. He is a farmer, she is a peasant woman, he is the Hou Ye, she is the Hou Ye's wife, he became the king of Dingbei, she is the princess of Dingbei, but one day, when the situation forced him to win the throne, she could only be his queen.
Even if you turn your back on your mother, there is no turning back, and there is no second way to go.
When she returned to Beijing, she watched them husband and wife, you and me, and she had to do nothing again and again, but her heart was like a knife.
She looked at the pair of plaice lovers, a pair of hands tightly twisted in the dark, she wanted to ask that man, Liang Bozhao, looked into my eyes and told me, have you really forgotten me?
When he was seriously injured in the northern frontier, her first thought was to accompany him, no matter how the world said that she was shameless, whether she was shameless, whether she had the demeanor of a princess, whether her life was in danger, what did she care about those beside her?
If he is gone, then she will not be able to live, she is willing to follow him, maybe, they will return to their previous life, he is still the husband who respects himself, loves him, and is the father of his own children, it is better than her alone in this life, looking at him and the woman next to him every day.
However, she still went to the Liang Mansion, wanted to pick up the Dong family, and rushed to the north together.
She knew that it wasn't she who he was seeing.
Who knows, Dong almost slipped the tire and was recuperating in bed. The moment she heard the news, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, faintly, there was a secret joy, and before that joy was pervasive, she felt sad, why did she Yuan Heyun fall to such a point?
She worked day and night, through thick and thin, and finally arrived at his side.
At that time, he was already burned and delirious, and the wounds on his body pierced her eyes.
She has forgotten everything, no matter what her past life or this life, all she wants is for him to live well and stand in front of her.
Even when he woke up, there was only another woman in his eyes.
She worked hard, waited day and night, and finally snatched him back from the hands of the king of Yama.
Liang Bozhao recovered, but she herself fell seriously ill after returning to Beijing.
In her dreams, she would always dream of her children, the four tiger-headed children, like children carved out of the same mold as their father.
And her little Arrow.
Even in her dreams, she knew that she would never have the opportunity to meet them again in her life.
It's sad to think about.
She restrained her friendship more and more, and told herself again and again that the previous life was the previous life, and this life was the present life, but all this was not as good as that day in Northern Xinjiang, she said a word to Zhai Heng.
"Here, they never listen to me." She pressed against her heart, and when she said this sentence, all thoughts were lost, and I was afraid that it would be nothing more than that.
When she stayed in the north and watched him lose that son, she felt his pain. But she couldn't tell him that she had given birth to four sons for him.
Perhaps, the most tragic thing in this world is that one person remembers it all, but another person forgets it all.
She remembered all his things, remembered the bits and pieces of him and the children, and only he forgot about her and the children.
Finally, she wanted a child, a child of Liang Bozhao.
When she saw the jade concubine again, she knew that her chance had come.
It turns out that some things are really predetermined, in his previous life, he had pampered her because of the resemblance of the jade concubine to the Dong family, and in this life, he still mistook her for the Dong family because of the appearance of the jade concubine.
Everything falls into place.
And the jade concubine, as in her previous life, was pregnant with a dragon fetus in a spring breeze overnight.
She waited for the child. I look forward to seeing the shadow of my son in that child.
Her expectations were not disappointed, and she finally got what she wanted.
She almost fell madly in love with the child named Liang Ting, just because he looked so similar to her own child.
When she held Liang Ting in her arms, she seemed to see the four sons she had born, who had also been named by their father in the crook of her arm.
As for Liang Bozhao and Dong, she never thought of separating them, nor did she think of interfering between them, not because she was high-spirited, but because she disdained it.
Once upon a time, Liang Bozhao was hers, and wholeheartedly, it was all hers.
In their days, there was no Dong Ningxiang.
She allowed the woman to be suspicious and retreat because of her inferiority complex and fear, and gradually consumed their affection.
She can't help her, no one can help her.
She would rather take the children and avoid the palace, and give all the places to the two of them.
Until, at the end, she said those few words.
"Liang Bozhao, I once had a dream, and in that dream, you are mine. I have fought with you to drive out the Hulu, and I have worked hand in hand with you to slay the barbarians. I have lived and died with you, and I have won the world. In that dream, you have mine in your heart. β
I hope that all the unforgettable past is really just a dream.
