Although Huizhou is located in a remote place in the north, almost everyone knows about Han Xiangzi. It is rumored that this Mrs. Han Xiang is extremely ugly, but she is brave and strategic, and she was once the emperor's best friend for the year. At that time, the country was in a difficult time, and the war continued for many years, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were all submissive, throwing rat traps, and no one was available to the whole country. At this time, Han Xiangzi, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who was in the boudoir, came out and took the initiative to ask for help.

When she met the saint, she persuaded the emperor with only one sentence. "The fortune of the country is not good, the courtiers are foolish, and there is no difference between men and women with red makeup and arms!" Since then, Han Xiangzi has often accompanied Jun in front of him and offered advice to him. In just three years, the prosperity and strength of the country are unstoppable. The emperor appreciated her very much, admired her decisiveness and ability, respected her foresight, and was impressed by her personal talent, and was willing to accept her as a concubine.

Han Xiangzi is such a smart woman, there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and how long can the emperor's honor last for her, her heart is like a mirror.

It is rumored that Han Xiangzi wrote on the fold: "The courtiers only want to have a couple for a lifetime, if not, they are willing to shave as a nun." The latter words were that the emperor saw that the small Kai written on the fold of his performance was strong and powerful, thinking that his mind had been decided, and he had to give up thinking of Han Xiangzi's merits.

Later, Han Xiangzi voted for Zhang Zhangqi, the champion of civil and military affairs in the imperial court, and the emperor gave him marriage.

Han Xiangzi is five years older than Zhang Zhangqi, and he looks ugly. Zhang Zhang's new champion was the spring breeze and high-spirited, and he was forced by the emperor's grace to reluctantly agree to this marriage.

There are also rumors: On the night of the cave room, Zhang Zhangqi was slow to enter the cave room, and reluctantly walked into the room, but he was also reluctant to lift the bride's hijab.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ran suddenly remembered that he had seen such a story:

The daughter of the prime minister of the former Liang State was extremely ugly, so her husband refused to enter the cave house on his wedding night. Later, after being persuaded by a friend, he reluctantly walked into the room, but he turned around and left.

The woman knew that he would never return, so she grabbed him by the hem of his clothes.

Seeing this, the woman's husband asked, "How many of the four virtues do you have?"

The woman replied: Only one. Then she asked rhetorically: "How many virtues are there for scholars?" ”

The husband said, "One is not less." ”

The woman said: "Is there a good virtue or a bad one?" ”

Only then did the husband of this woman find out that this woman was extraordinary, so the husband and wife became closer.

Thinking about it, the man had already walked to the carriage. Zhu Ran didn't know if Mrs. Han Xiang and Zhang Zhangqi could be like what was written in the story, the two respected each other like guests, Qin Se and Ming. can't help but think of people's rumors that the two have no children so far, and Mrs. Han Xiang has to accept Zhang Zhangqi Naxian even if she is a noble lady and has no heirs.

I don't know how much of this anecdote that everyone tells is a little true and a little apocryphal. Zhu Ran thought that now that he was lucky enough to see a real person, he would be able to find out a thing or two.

After getting into the carriage and greeting him politely, Zhu Ran sat opposite Han Xiangzi.

"Zhu Ran has heard the anecdote of Mrs. Han Xiang since he was a child, and he admires it in his heart." Zhu Ran said without compliment, and said from his heart.

Han Xiangzi looked at Zhu Ran with a smile and said: "Three points of facts, seven points of rumors." It seems that the strength of the three tigers cannot be underestimated! ”

Zhu Ran thought to himself, the three of them became tigers, and the power of rumors was indeed not to be underestimated. It is rumored that Mrs. Han Xiang is extremely ugly, but when they meet at this time, they feel that she is not only not ugly, but the wise temperament exuded by her body has a unique charm. He looked up and replied with a smile: "Mrs. Han Xiang is really funny when she speaks!" ”

"The side princess looks like jade, and people can't bear to look away." Han Xiangzi looked at Zhu Ran, smiling like a spring breeze, gentle and gentle.

Zhu Ran looked at such a smile and looked a little stupid, counting Han Xiangzi's age, it was only twenty-eight or nine, but he was only a year old.

"My sister looks at me like this, but I have a moon-like flower on my face?" Han Xiangzi joked.

Zhu Ran also smiled: "No matter how beautiful the appearance is, it can't withstand the washing and devouring of the passing years, or the wisdom and inner temperament, which are often accompanied by people and are used from time to time." ”

Han Xiangzi looked at Zhu Ran's injured hand and said, "My sister's deeds, I have heard about them in the house. At that time, I thought, what kind of woman this is, she has such courage and heart! When I saw it today, it turned out to be a beautiful woman. ”

"My sister was too uplifting my sister, and my sister was also in a hurry at the time, so she had no choice but to do so. In hindsight, I was still afraid. ”

Han Xiangzi smiled and said nothing, and only said after a while: "My sister's face is pale, it is not only caused by excessive blood loss, but also related to my sister's overthinking. There are some things that can be let go, and after several years of life, why bother not to go with yourself! ”

Zhu Ran swept over the window, looked at the spring scenery outside the car, and said softly: "Sister's words are really philosophical, I don't know when my sister will be able to think so broadly like my sister." ”

Han Xiangzi paused and said: "What I couldn't think of when I was young, now that I am at this age, I have been relieved, how can I always be satisfied in life." ”

Around dusk, the carriage drove to Kyoto Castle. Zhu Ran and Han Xiangzi chatted intermittently all the way, but they didn't feel bored, but the itching and pain on their hands were unbearable.

"It's Kyoto again!" Han Xiangzi's voice could not hide the joy.

"Sister, are you going back to your parents' house?" Zhu Ran said with a smile.

Han Xiangzi nodded, "Thanks to taking my sister's side car." ”

The two were talking and laughing when the carriage suddenly stopped. A well-behaved maid lifted the window lightly and asked the two of them about their safety, before saying, "Madam, the carriage that picks you up has arrived, and the little prince is waiting for you under the carriage!" ”

Zhu Ran didn't care who the little prince was at first, until she said goodbye to Han Xiangzi and Han Xiangzi got out of the carriage, she caught a glimpse of it through the window and it was Lin Yunchen. He was wearing a homely purple robe, holding a gold-rimmed folding fan, and was talking to Han Xiangzi. It's just that his demeanor is so elegant, not at all what Zhu Ran saw before.

After walking for a while, he got on the main road in Kyoto, and Zhuran sat in the carriage, reminiscing about the conversation with Han Xiangzi. The gap between rumors and reality is really 108,000 miles, Zhu Ran didn't expect Han Xiangzi to be so approachable, the former scheming female general, has become a virtuous sister today. The bearing of the whole body, Ruogu's mind is by no means comparable to that of ordinary women. Such a woman is really unforgettable, and getting along with her has a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze.

It's just that Zhu Ran couldn't figure out what Zhu Heyu meant by arranging for her and Han Xiangzi to ride together? , is it really just a ride in the same car? Zhu Ran doesn't believe it, with Zhu Heyu's scheming, how can he do such a laborious and unprofitable thing, I'm afraid it is intentionally wooing, after all, Han Xiangzi and the current saint's affection is still there, even if he is not there, just by virtue of Han Xiangzi's great exploits, he can also have a place in the court, which is a resource for Zhu Heyu.

It's just that... It's just that Han Xiangzi is such a shrewd person, can't she see Zhu Heyu's intentions for her? The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt, and suddenly I thought about what he did and what it had to do with him. I opened the window casually, and I saw the evening of Kyoto City, the lights of thousands of homes, a thriving scene.
