vs 56 Impermanence (I)
Beiyin Prefecture is located in the north of the four states of the Western Han Kingdom.
Winter is like winter all year round, and snow falls most of the day.
Eternal Winter City, the capital of the Western Han Kingdom, is located in the southern part of Beiyin Prefecture.
In the city of eternal winter, in the northeast direction, there is a mansion, which occupies a huge area. The walls of silver bricks and frost tiles are so high and magnificent that they are no different from the city walls, and those who do not know the roots of this palace are afraid to think that it is another palace.
This is the Ann Prince's House.
In the palace, the pavilions are heavy, the carved railings and painted walls, the Yishan warm pool, beautiful.
At the west end of the palace, there is a yellow palace, which is very different from the surrounding silver-white buildings.
This palace is shining with golden light, shaped like a tent, and hangs a plaque of "green grass and sky". In the garden, the color of greenery is overflowing, and I don't know what kind of plants are planted.
In the palace, a woman was sitting embroidery, looking preoccupied. She walked a few stitches, then involuntarily stopped, and her mind seemed to fly into the distance.
This woman is the concubine of King An Shen Weiji, that is, Shen Cheng's biological mother.
Not long ago, Shen Cheng went to Zawangcheng with Pine Needle, saying that he was on an errand under the orders of his teacher, but he didn't tell her.
Aiko went out for the first time, and as a mother, although she was reluctant, she didn't say anything. The foal always has to raise its hooves and run to the grassland, the young eagle always spreads its wings and flies into the sky, and her adult child has grown up, and is no longer the child snuggled in her arms.
After Shen Cheng left, one night, she suddenly felt frightened, and she inevitably had to think wildly: Don't something happen to Cheng'er?
For the next few days, she remained restless, wishing to fly to sit and see with her own eyes whether her son was well.
========
Princess An was originally a princess of the Nasas Khanate, and was titled "Kiqige".
She married from the grassland to the Ice Country and became the wife of King An, although her status is still noble and her status is still transcendent, but who wants to stay away from her hometown?
She looks delicate and soft, but in her bones she is the heroic forbearance of the children of the grassland. When she said goodbye to her father Khan, she only had joy on her face, and she hid her reluctance to leave her homeland and her ignorance and confusion about distant foreign lands deep in her heart.
Fortunately, King An is not only a martial artist, but also a talented person, and he is the same for a while, and he is even more tender and obedient to her. After marriage, the relationship between the husband and wife is very good, and everything seems so perfect.
Unfortunately, there is no perfection in the world, no matter how beautiful it is, there will always be flaws. After many years of marriage, she has never been able to add only a man and half a woman to King An's mansion.
Moreover, just as she had to marry Xihan and King An had to marry her, King An's Mansion ushered in a second hostess.
Xihan has been monogamous since ancient times.
King An's side concubine is named Ying, surnamed Cai.
------
Princess An only has her husband in her heart, and she is not keen on power.
Mrs. Ying is the opposite.
Since there is an additional side concubine in the palace, Princess An can feel the undisguised hostility, and she can see very clearly that this woman is not a good person.
Later, Princess An finally gave birth to Lin'er. After more than ten years of being a wife, she regarded it as a treasure. Xiao Shen Cheng is healthy, lively, smart and cute, and Princess An feels perfect again, thinking that there is nothing else to ask for in this life.
But within two years, Mrs. Ying also gave birth to a son.
Princess An felt that the hostility deepened, and no longer only aimed at her, but also began to stab her beloved son Shen Cheng.
In terms of origin, Princess An is the official princess of Nasi and the pearl of the Great Khan, while Mrs. Ying is from a side branch of the Xihan royal family; in terms of heirs, Shen Cheng is the eldest son of King An and the eldest son of the Shen family; not to mention, King An also obviously has a better relationship with the concubine.
In any respect, the status of Princess An's mother and son is not disputed.
In particular, Xiao Shen Cheng was precocious, and he was deeply favored by King An, and when he enlightened the Dao of Arts, he revealed the supreme talent of the Ice Species. Even, after King An, he was also made the crown prince of the Western Han Kingdom and was cultivated with all his might.
If Shen Cheng can grow up smoothly, he will succeed the country in the future. At that time, not only will Shen Cheng be honored in Xihan and Princess An will become the mother of the country, but even her motherland will benefit a lot.
However, due to the impermanence of heaven, Shen Cheng came to an abrupt end in the way of art, not only was he deposed as a young man, but even King An changed his attitude and no longer favored him. Shen Cheng's situation is getting worse and worse, and his personality is getting deeper and deeper, and he is no longer as innocent and cheerful as he was a child.
Princess An herself is not a cultivator, so she can only rely on her son to be expensive, and her son to be cheap and her mother to worry. So in the past few years, her life has become more and more difficult.
The reality is so cruel that she is helpless. She grew up in the Khan Court, no matter how indifferent she is to power, how disgusted she is to intrigue and intrigue, and she should be politically sensitive, she is not missing.
She knows very well: King An, that is the only hereditary prince of Xihan; King An is also a high and powerful person, and he is in the deepest part of the power vortex of Xihan Kingdom; Shen Cheng is his eldest son, and it is difficult to stay out of the court when he becomes an adult, and after being established and then abolished in the honorable prince, he has become the target of public criticism.
In the future, even if the power in Shen Cheng's hands is a little weaker, I am afraid that he will not be able to die well!
--------
Whenever in the dead of night, whenever she is alone, Princess An thinks that her beloved son has lost the support of King An, and she is far away in a foreign country, and there is no strong support in the government and the opposition, she feels that the mother and son are like sheep swept by a whirlwind, which is really worried and afraid.
Because of this, when she heard that Shen Cheng wanted to transfer to the Instrument Dao Mansion and Master Tie Song wanted to accept him as a closed disciple, she was overjoyed: with the support of this Instrument Dao giant, no matter how bad her beloved son is in the future, she will always be able to save her life!
Moreover, Tie Songke presided over the Qidao Mansion, ranking among the three mansions and three dukes, and Shen Cheng worshipped him as a teacher, which was almost equivalent to King An and Tiesongke joining hands, and Taibao and Qifu forming an alliance. From the perspective of the Ann Palace, it is also a good thing.
Princess Ann is like a drowning man who sees a piece of firewood and has to hold on to it no matter what.
Who knows that King An resolutely disagrees!
Princess An begged bitterly, and I don't know how many tears she shed. Although he failed to impress her husband in the matter of Shen Cheng's apprenticeship, he finally got his nod and let Shen Cheng transfer to the Qidao Mansion.
Later, Princess An was glad for her persistence. Since Aiko transferred to the Qidao Mansion, slowly, the smile of his childhood returned to his face, and with Tie Songke taking care of him, no one in the Qidao Mansion dared to bully him.
In addition to rejoicing, Princess An strengthened her determination, no matter what, she must find ways to let Shen Cheng officially apprentice and confirm the status of master and apprentice.
It's just that she never wants to do anything out of the ordinary, except for pleading and tears, she can't come up with any other way. King Ann never let go, and complained to her in no way, saying that she was interfering and causing chaos in vain.
This delay is seven years.
Princess An couldn't understand her husband: even if Shen Cheng was not angry and didn't meet his expectations, but the matter has come to this point, isn't it what parents should do to pave the way for their beloved son's future?
Not long ago, Princess An felt that the mother and son had come to the edge of the cliff......
