He just said, "Shijiang picks hibiscus, Lanze is more fragrant grass", by the candlelight, I looked at the hairpin in my hand, vaguely it was a hibiscus that wanted to bloom, and the bright red gemstone flower flowed with blood-like color.

Wading the river to pick hibiscus, Lanze more fragrant grass.

Who do you want to leave behind? Thinking is far away.

I also look at my hometown, and the road is long.

Leave with one heart, and die with sorrow.

This is a sentence from the nineteen ancient poems, Bao Yuan, what are you going to tell me?

The night was restless.

In the following days, Bao Yuan rarely came to my palace, more often he would be in Yanchang Palace or Tingfeng Xuan, even if he came to Changchun Palace, he rarely stayed overnight, and mostly accompanied me and Jingyi to gossip for a while, or just to see Fengyi and Xuanzhe.

I have a mystery in my heart, and even when he comes, I mostly watch him quietly and laugh with the children, or listen to him and Jingyi chatting. It's just that inadvertently, I will feel his gaze on me, but whenever I want to meet his gaze, he always takes it back.

If I had wanted to make a fuss and ask for clarification in the past, but now I seem to be cold-hearted, and I am only confused in my heart, and I refuse to ask him more.

Sure enough, Hou Yi repeatedly, and returned to the Han lord, Zhang Qianzhao hated himself to no avail, and on the 23rd, he went to Xingzhou, and died of shame and anger.

When Jingyi talked to me about this, the worries in my heart became stronger day by day, so what should I do next?

In March, the Han general Zhao Siwan rebelled according to Yongxing, and Wang Jingchong rebelled according to Fengxiang, and for a while, the front smoke was everywhere, and whether the Shu army advanced or retreated became a difficult problem in front of him, and at this juncture, something happened to Xufu!

Han Baozhen should be edicted to report on his work, talking about the war ahead, the ministers of the court and China have been divided into two factions, the military generals and many lords take advantage of the chaos to attack, and the civil officials are more advised to wait and see, just when the two sides are unable to hold each other, Bao Yuan suddenly asked my father-in-law Xu Kuangzhang above the court what he thinks of this matter.

The father-in-law has always been loyal and upright, and strongly persuaded Bao Yuan not to rush into the army, but he did not want to argue with Zhang Ye in court, the righteous brother Guangpu was impatient, and spoke out to defend the father-in-law, but he was responsible for Bao Yuan.

didn't want to, but Bao Yuan was angry with his brother for this matter.

The day before yesterday, Xinning accompanied her mother into the palace to visit me, I knew that something big had happened in the family, and it turned out that someone in the court had appalled the righteous brother Guangpu to tease the eldest princess of the former Shu Ankang with glamorous words.

Since I entered the palace, Bao Yuan has always been generous to his father-in-law and brother-in-law, especially his brother Guangpu, because of his talent, he has already worshiped the Chinese book waiter, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and then concurrently served as the military department waiter and Li Hao and the same level. However, the righteous brother is often feared by Li Hao and others, in order to avoid fighting between the DPRK and China, and not to embarrass Baoyuan, so every time the righteous brother is in trouble, he sleeps and avoids it, so he is called "sleeping" for the courtiers.

I know that my brother-in-law has a good character, so I don't believe that he will disrespect etiquette and tease the eldest princess, but since Bao Yuan has given the order, what can I do, facing my mother-in-law and Xinning, who treat me deeply, but I am powerless to help, and I am really anxious and aggrieved. I can't guess more and more in my heart, what is Bao Yuan doing here?

My stepmother and Xinning entered the palace this time, not to ask me to intercede on behalf of my brother-in-law, but to convey my father-in-law's entrustment, my father-in-law said that the situation in the court is treacherous, and the harem will be the same, and I am told to cherish myself and be more careful.

After listening to Xinning's relay, I have already burst into tears, although the Xu family is only a nominal daughter, but they treat me as if they were their own children, they are really thinking about me everywhere, and I admire my stepmother who understands righteousness, and never mentioned that I want to intercede on behalf of my brother-in-law, but repeatedly told me not to rush to Baoyuan to intercede for the sake of family affairs, so as not to get into trouble.

Sending away my stepmother and Xinning, I sat alone and meditated for a long time, what happened recently is really weird, and Bao Yuan's attitude towards me is hot and cold, sometimes near and sometimes far away, which makes people uneasy but can't figure out their thoughts...... It seems that for the sake of today, we can only wait and see what happens.

In April, Baoyuan's desire to take Guanzhong was particularly strong, and An Siqian asked for more troops to take Guanzhong directly.

Among the courtiers, they have their own opinions on the matter of increasing troops to Guanzhong, and the Wenchen led by Mu Zhaozi opposed the increase of troops, while An Siqian, Sun Hanshao and other military generals strongly advocated increasing troops.

The matter was discussed again and again, and Bao Yuan discussed with the courtiers several times in the past few days, but to no avail.

That night, Bao Yuan went to bed in my temple. I saw him tossing and turning, and I knew that it was for the sake of increasing the army. However, I can't guess what he thinks now, and I don't dare to ask, so I have to lie next to him and pretend to sleep.

In a trance, I saw him get up with his clothes and walk alone in front of the window, worried about the cold weather in spring, so I got up to add a shirt for him.

When we draped our shirt over his shoulders, he turned around and held me firmly. I knew that he was worried, but I didn't dare to open my mouth to persuade him, but when I was silent, I heard him say, "Rui'er, do you know what worries about my heart...... Alas, I have more than one trouble. ”

"Since the Tang Dynasty, the weak monarch and the strong minister are the root of the turmoil in the Central Plains, I am only afraid of ......" He frowned slightly, looked at me for a while, and then hugged me tightly into his arms and said: "Rui'er, trust me?" ”

My heart trembled, and I fixed my eyes on him, and said, "I believe." ”

"You don't blame me?" His eyes were full of regret and unease.

Seeing him like this, he couldn't bear it, shook his head and said, "Although I don't know why, I believe that Meng Lang must have his own reasons for what he did. ”

"Rui'er, you have to believe me." Bao Yuan shook my hand, pressed it to his chest and said, "Starting tomorrow, no matter what I say or do, Rui'er, you should not be able to hear or see, okay?" ”

There was an anxious look in his eyes that made people unable to refuse, and I nodded.

"Rui'er, if you want to believe me, you must believe in my heart for you." He hugged me again, and I couldn't help but shudder.

The next day, when I woke up, Bao Yuan was gone, and I thought he should go to court.

After breakfast, Father-in-law Zeng came to his mother to ask to see him.

I was secretly shocked in my heart, my mother has always opposed the harem to interfere in politics, and now the DPRK is arguing over the matter of increasing troops in Guanzhong, why did he come to see me at this moment? I couldn't make up my mind for a while, and after hesitating again and again, I ordered Zeng Gong to announce the inner study to wait for the meeting.

Mother Zhao descendant worshiped behind the crystal curtain and said, "The minister's mother Zhao descendant see Lady Hua Rui." ”

"Your Excellency, please get up, I don't know why your Excellency is here this time?" I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly through the beaded curtain, so I had to ask politely in the frame of the palace concubine.

"Mother." Mu Zhaoyi bowed deeply and said, "The old minister came today because he had an urgent matter to discuss with his mother, and I hope that my mother will not shirk it." ”

"My lord is serious, I want to come to the palace for a long time, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if the matter between the lord and me is related to the previous dynasty, then please forgive the palace for not being able to help." Now I'm tired enough, where can I still deal with the open and secret battles between their courtiers.
