Imperial City, Mingren Palace, Qingxi Palace.

Closed doors and windows block out the sound of the rain.

On the small table of red sandalwood moire bulge, a parrot green secretly engraved unicorn playing beads three-legged incense burner in the fire light is not extinguished, and the green smoke at the mouth of the furnace is like a pillar, straight to the top of the palace.

In the faint mist, the voice of the Empress Dowager seemed to come from a very far away: "If the Jin Kingdom goes like that, your biological parents will not suffer the later life and death, and Pei Zehe will not go at a young age...... The tragedy of the three of them has changed the mourning family's Jin Guo wife, who has lived peacefully until now, and now she has become the only living biological flesh and blood of the mourning family! ”

After a pause, she choked up and continued, "Sometimes the mourning family thinks that there are so many children in the mourning family, but the white-haired people send the black-haired people again and again, including the Yiyu family died in Liaozhou last year, isn't it, is it because the mourning family's mother and daughter did too many things in their early years? ”

Jian Xubai still knelt in front of her, her eyes down, her long eyelashes brushing down, covering all her emotions.

I saw that his back was getting straighter and straighter, as if he were standing on a loose cliff.

This posture of being ready to welcome the coming of the wind and rain made the Empress Dowager tremble slightly.

"It wasn't Yishui who saved the Jin Kingdom that time." After a long while, the empress dowager, who had settled down, spoke again, her eyes a little sloppy, "It's the second concubine of the Jin Kingdom, Pei Ze." ”

"It's just that Pei Ze, in order to protect the reputation of the Jin Kingdom, invited Yishui to come forward and take on this matter - however, you know, Yishui and the slut of the Shentu clan are cousins and nephews!"

The princess of Chengyang, the grandmother of the lord of Yishui, is the aunt of Shentu Guifei.

And the lintel of Shen Tu's house was not high at that time.

The princess of Chengyang was not even from the main family - because she gave birth to the only son of the old Chengyang King, and survived the wife of the old Chengyang King, so she could become a concubine after her son inherited the title.

And after the Shentu family came out of this concubine, the children of the clan finally had a shortcut to climb up.

It was also under the introduction of this concubine that Emperor Huizong fell in love with Shentu Guifei at first sight - so before the death of Mrs. Yan Guotai, Shentu Guifei and Chengyang Wangfu had always been very affectionate.

She is naturally not bad to her cousin and niece, Lord Yishui.

"At that time, whether it was the Jin Kingdom or the Mourning Family, as well as the Chen State and the First Emperor, they were all in the hands of the Shentu family and Zhenyuan, and they suffered too much torture and humiliation." The Empress Dowager laughed miserably, held back her tears, and continued, "So when Jin Guochu heard that it was Yishui who saved her, the first thing she thought of was not gratitude, but doubt. ”

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom suspected that this cousin was instructed by Concubine Shentu to use some kind of conspiracy.

"At that time, Yishui was more like an imperial daughter than the Jin Kingdom."

"The husband and wife of Chengyang and the princess of Chengyang all regard her as a jewel."

"Even Emperor Huizong, because of the Shentu clan, is far more kind to her than to the Jin Kingdom."

"Even though the Chengyang King and his wife gradually drifted apart later because of the frequent deaths of their son-in-law and the death of Mrs. Yan Guotai, the couple has always been very fond of Yishui."

"But to be honest, at that time, the noblewomen of the imperial capital were most envious of Yishui because of ...... Because Jane is away from Miao! ”

The Empress Dowager's eyes were misty with tears, as if she remembered the years she had been when her children were still young—those years were dark, full of humiliation and patience for her.

But for Jian Limiao and the county lord of Yishui, it should be their best years.

A young man with a demeanor like a fairy, and a noble and favored but gentle and generous county lord, childhood sweethearts, two little guesses.

I don't know how many people are envious.

Among them, including the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom who was so downtrodden that she couldn't even raise her own flesh and blood by her side.

"For some reason, Jin Guo mistakenly thought that Jian Limiao was her savior, and Yishui hid her either because of conspiracy or jealousy." The Empress Dowager said that this passage was very difficult, because she noticed that Jian Xubai subconsciously held her breath at this moment, "So Jin Guo has been paying attention to Jian Limiao - at first she may be curious, maybe she wants to repay the favor, but Jian Limiao ......"

A helpless wry smile escaped from the Empress Dowager's lips, "Your father's demeanor, judging from my heart, how many women in this world can resist it?" ”

"So...... The second aunt killed my mother for my father? Jian Xubai finally raised his eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager, "Then after the first emperor ascended the throne, what did she do to remarry Pei Ze?" ”

When the Empress Dowager heard the word "Pei Ze", a clear look of sorrow flashed on her face, and she was silent for a moment before she said: "What the mourning family wants to say may be very unfair, but as the biological mother, the mourning family still has to say that everyone has a young age." ”

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom when she was young, after experiencing the hardships and humiliations of Emperor Huizong, was far less calm and considerate than she is now.

Like a man who has been poor for a long time and suddenly becomes rich, she squandered the grace and privileges of imperial power very wantonly.

first reconciled with the husband of the knot, Dou Siyan.

Then it was down to Pei Ze - the empress dowager tried her best to be euphemistic, but the fact is: Jian Limiao ignored the deliberate hook of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom three times and twice. leads, and even privately hinted that the county lord of Yishui should no longer associate with this cousin who will take revenge, which makes the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom who has survived both humiliation and unwillingness.

At this time, Pei Ze happened to be very concerned about her, so the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom casually descended to Pei Ze, she was not very interested in Pei Ze, and the descent to him was completely to tease Jian Limiao and his wife - because after the fall of the Chengyang Palace, Pei was the only person who refused to cut off contact with their couple.

But soon after marrying Pei Ze, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom found a better way to torture Jian Limiao and his wife: Jian Likuang.

Jian Pingyu's betrayal, Wen's dove occupies the magpie's nest, and Jian Likuang steals the position of the original concubine...... This is the hatred that Old Lady Duanmu and Jian Limiao and his wife will never forget for the rest of their lives.

So, wouldn't it be interesting if he married Jian Likuang, and then let Jian Limiao and his wife prostrate for the rest of their lives under their feet and in front of the second room of the Jian family, so that they would always hate but never be able to retaliate?

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom almost happily proposed to Pei Ze to leave, and at the same time did not shy away from interacting with Jian Ze - but everyone didn't expect that Pei Ze would die because of this.

When she received the news of his death, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was eating wine and flirting with Jian Likuang in the backyard, and waved her hand disapprovingly: "Just do it according to the rules!" ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Hurry up, so as not to delay the marriage between Bengong and Kuanglang!" ”

Speaking of this, Jian Likuang happened to give a look with affection, and the two laughed at the same time - this scene almost made Pei He, who came to seek justice for his brother, vomit blood in anger.

Pei He and his wife told Jin Guo the inside story of the past, it was Pei Ze who saved her, and Pei Ze liked her early on...... At the beginning, the Jin State made peace with Dou Siyan, and Pei He tactfully conveyed the meaning of the Shang Lord for his younger brother, not because the Pei family was greedy for wealth and nobility, in fact, it was because Pei Ze was very concerned about the Jin State when he was Emperor Huizong. The Empress Dowager burst into tears, "But because the Pei family was too eager to propose marriage, and Pei Ze was seven or eight years younger than the Jin Kingdom, at that time, apart from the Pei family, who would have thought that he would really fall in love with the Jin Kingdom?" You must know that Jin Guo is not bad looking, but in the years of the Dou family, she has been very hard, so bitter that her whole person is haggard. Pei is the descendant of the Pei family in Youzhou, although his parents went early, his brother and sister-in-law treated him very well, he is also a handsome person, and he has always been decent, when he was young and flying, he didn't even set foot in the Qinglou ......"

The Empress Dowager trembled and stroked her sleeves, looked at Jian Xubai, choked and repeated again, "Such a talented and beautiful young man who is clean and self-conscious—who would have thought that he would ignore how many noble ladies in the imperial capital would sincerely love Jin Guo?!" ”

However, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom when she was young was still obsessed at that time, or she refused to admit it.

She refused to believe the words of Pei He and his wife, and refused to repent of trampling on Pei Ze's mind - she finally married Jian Likuang according to the plan.

And a few years later, he forced to death the lord of Yishui, who had just produced.

It wasn't until the lord of Yishui had only one breath left that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom began to regret it as if she had suddenly regained her conscience.

But the big mistake has already been made.

"Although Yishui's wish only mentions that he hopes you will live happily for the rest of your life, Jin Guo is really guilty, so he decided to seek justice for the three rooms of the Jian family!" The Empress Dowager said with tears in her eyes, "She knelt in front of Jian Limiao for more than four hours, in order to beg him to hand you over to her and put it in her name, so that Jian Pingyu and the sons of the two old things of the Wen family, Jian Likuang, also taste the taste of raising sons for others." ”

But Jian Limiao still refused to agree, how could he agree? He didn't like Jin Guo very much. ”

"After Yishui is gone, he hates Jin Guo even more - to this day, if there is a chance to kill Jin Guo, the mourning family thinks he will not hesitate, right?"

When the Empress Dowager said this, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "So the Jin Kingdom has made another ...... did a sad thing: she took Duanmu Song, who was still exiled outside the Saiwai at the time, your maternal grandmother, and wanted to blackmail Jian Limiao. ”

And Old Lady Duanmu is not only Jian Limiao's aunt and mother-in-law, but also the person who raised and protected him - it can be said that without Old Lady Duanmu, there would be no Jian Limiao!

Under such coercion, Jian Limiao finally nodded, handed over his biological son to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and recorded it in the family tree as the second son of the second room; took over the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, the baby who died on the ground. son, as his own son, buried with the lord of Yishui.

"In fact, even if you don't record you in your own name, the Jin Kingdom has a way to toss Jian Likuang and Jian Pingyu." The Empress Dowager put a hand on Jian Xubai's shoulder, clearly felt his trembling, tears raining down, "She did this in the hope of being able to replace Yishui, fulfill her maternal responsibilities a little, and eliminate some guilt - how much Yishui helped her in her most difficult time, but she was jealous of Yishui and harmed Yishui for the rest of her life......"

"Duanmu Song and Jian Limiao both hate her, but they can't help her, so all they can do is stay away from her."

"Jin Guo didn't dare to meet them, the only thing she could compensate for, the only thing she could face, was you - because you were born at that time and didn't know anything!"

Therefore, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom planned the Duke of Yan for this young son who was not her own, and sent him to the knees of the most noble woman of Darui to raise, giving him all kinds of favoritism - even his chosen wife Song Yixiao was especially tolerant and maintained by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.

Only a few people know that behind these favors and favoritism are the countless tears of the county lord of Yishui, and even the young life.

People in the world are forgetful, and the golden branches and jade leaves of the year will be avenged, and they have become put in time. Swinging but considerate of the younger elders.

Those past events, with the passage of spring and summer, seem to have really been completely buried, and there is no time to return to the soul.

But it's just as if.

The Empress Dowager suddenly felt an indescribable heaviness.

Raising her hand to stroke her forehead, she laughed out loud with tears, and suddenly said softly: "Ah Xu, do what you want!" The mourning family still thought that you are a soft-hearted child, and if the mourning family raises you, you will definitely give the mourning family this face. ”

"But the mourners have changed their minds now."

"The mourning family failed to teach their daughter well back then, and now what kind of face do they have to make such a request to you?"

"Do whatever you want - we owe it to you!"
