Autumn House.

Qiu Qian'er carefully looked at the "Night View of Taihang Palace" hanging on the wall in the room, and the white-haired old man in a robe behind him knelt on the ground, holding a long sword with a red maple hanging on it in both hands.

"The minions are old...... Autumn leaves should have a new home. ”

"I miss the jade fan cake made by my mother, but ...... I can't eat it anymore. Qiu Qian'er turned around, looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, you said that your grandfather also loves to eat your mother's jade fan cake, is it true?" ”

The old man burst into tears, he kept bowing his head, and said: "Back then, Your Majesty's favorite food was the jade fan cake made by Madame. ”

Qiu Qian'er took the long sword, she looked at the dried red maple, the fine lines were still clearly visible, and she seemed to see her mother again.

Five years ago. Swing found that since her father left, her mother often didn't recognize people, and sometimes she even forgot who it was. When Su Yun recognized her daughter, she would teach her how to be a good lady, teach her how to embroider, teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and teach her how to do business. Qiu Qian'er sometimes cried and didn't want to learn, so Su Yun cried with her, and Qiu Qian'er stopped crying.

Her only fun is that she can often go to Yang Xi from the Yang'an Dart Bureau to play with.

One day, she went with her mother to a tea farmer's house a few miles outside Jiangcheng to get tea, but on the way she saw a Taoist surrounded by everyone selling paintings. The man said to those people: "This "Night View of Taihang Palace" is painted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and this time I will sell it at a price for you, and now it only costs 10,000 taels!" ”

The surroundings suddenly booed, and some people said: "This old way is really good at bluffing people, how could this famous painting painted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fall into the hands of yours?" is still priced at 10,000 taels, I don't think anyone wants 100 taels! ”

Many people shook their heads, thinking that this old trick was not very clever, but they did not leave, and they were trying to see if any fool would buy the painting.

Lao Dao didn't care about other people's words, just sat on the ground, he hung the painting on the earthen wall next to him, closed his eyes slightly and said to everyone: "Painting, there is a fate to buy it." ”

Su Yun walked through the crowd, only glanced at the painting, and rushed into the crowd like crazy, and Qiu Qian'er exclaimed urgently: "Mother!" Su Yun had already crossed the Taoist who was sitting on the ground, and looked at the woman in "Night View of Taihang Palace" stupidly, as if she had just come out of the pavilion, and she was also like this......

"Mother!" Qiu Qian'er chased after her and wanted to pull her mother away, but she heard her mother holding her face and whispering softly to her: "Qian'er, does she look like a mother?" ”

Qiu Qian'er turned her head to look at the painting, and then looked at her mother, but found that it was not similar at all. She hurriedly shouted to her mother: "Mother, let's go quickly, there are many people!" ”

Su Yun held up her wrinkled face with one hand, smiled stupidly, she took down the painting, ran to the Taoist, bent over and whispered to the Taoist: "How much money do you need?" ”

The Taoist pursed his long beard and said slowly: "Ten thousand taels." ”

"I buy I buy!" Su Yun took out all the silver tickets in her arms that she was about to buy tea, it happened to be 10,000 taels, and gave it to the Taoist, and she jumped out of the crowd like a little girl.

"What fools!"

"Isn't this woman crazy?"

The people in the same place looked at the woman who had jumped far away and discussed.

"Mother! Mother! Swing hurried out of the crowd and chased after him.

When everyone turned around, they were surprised to find that the Taoist who was sitting on the ground was gone.

When Swing Er chased her mother, she found her mother lying dying in a green grass, she picked up her mother and sobbed and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you!" What's wrong with you! ”

Su Yun raised her hand into the air, as if she wanted to reach out and touch something, but she fell into the grass and rolled away a piece of drawing paper, and the appearance of a woman who was enough to amaze the world appeared in front of the crying swing.

At this time, Lao Dao didn't know when he stood beside Swing and said: "The woman's cherished appearance is the most longed-for painting when she was a teenager, a miss and an infatuation, the reincarnation of cause and effect in the world, but there is no time when it is broken." ”

……

To the south, outside the bamboo house behind the Minghu Academy.

There is a woman who is eating a piece of jade fan cake, she gently purses her lips, puts the cake powder into her mouth and chews it slowly, but no matter how long it takes, it is as tasteless as rock candy that has lost its sweetness.

Xiao Yan and Uncle An haven't come back yet, and they don't know what happened.

She began to think back, to a long, long time ago.

The maiden in the Taihang Palace held an iron sword in her arms, and her chin was attached to the wooden scabbard. She looked out the window, and there were many glazed roof tiles beyond the heavy palace walls, until she saw the towering city walls.

She just looked at it and looked.

When I remembered that a young man took her hand and climbed to the top of the canglou one by one, there was only a distant blur of the outline of the mountain.

North, Mu Liang, how can she go back? She is just an ordinary princess who likes to play and dress up, and she doesn't know the front-line battle report, but she only heard the maid say that where Canglou has been attacked, and where has it been broken again.

Suddenly, the wind and snow were blowing.

The Canglou army then entered the Muliang Imperial City.

Emperor Muliang was forced to sacrifice the land of Loulan, officially assigned to Canglou, and bowed to the Canglou country.

Emperor Muliang was demoted to a vassal king, and he was the king of Muliang.

At that time, in order to ensure that Muliang would no longer raise troops to go south to make trouble, and because King Muliang had no children under his knees, but there was only one princess, Zhao Hanyan, so he took Princess Muliang as a proton to go to Canglou as a prisoner, so that Canglou retreated.

Zhao Hanyan vaguely remembered that her father wanted her to remember the night before she left: "Yan'er, only you are waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Emperor Canglou and kill him!" In order to avenge the countless heroic souls who died in the battle of Muliang, and to regain the countless lands where my Muliang people lived and multiplied! ”

But she didn't want to go, she didn't want to go to Canglou, and she didn't want to leave Muliang.

No matter how she cried, it was useless, she was pressed into a sedan chair like an iron cage and sent to the canglou.

She knew that after entering Canglou, she was afraid that she would never be able to return to Muliang and return home in this life.

Now, Zhao Hanyan won't cry.

She just stared out stupidly.

Beyond the palace walls, the shepherds in the north.

Zhao Hanyan is just a young girl, but she has to force herself to learn to practice swords. No longer playing the piano and drums, practicing in the morning, without the advice of a master who knows how to swords, just according to the sword score stolen by Xiao Pian day after day, Zhao Hanyan finally blended into the flow of people going to Dongwei a few days ago, but he couldn't even get close to the big tent of Emperor Canglou, and then he lost the long sword, but now what is the use of practicing swordsmanship?

She was a little discouraged, and at this moment she saw that there were a lot of red lanterns hanging in some places on the palace wall outside, thinking that it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

"It's been a year." She sighed softly, the days have passed, but she has been in Canglou for a long time, Zhao Hanyan looked at the wind and snow falling outside the window and said: "It was also such a snow back then, it was big and small, but the wind was a little weaker." ”

"Your Highness, don't be sad." Xiao Lian comforted her on the side.

Xiao Lian is the maid she came from Muliang together, and she has been away from home for a long time and still comforts her. She didn't want to hurt Xiao Pian, but Xiao Pian insisted on accompanying Her Royal Highness the princess to Canglou, and at that time Xiao Pian said to her categorically: "I want to take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"I'm not sad, little mercy. In fact, compared to the baby bear, our life is much better. Zhao Hanyan also hid a sentence in his heart, "It's just that we can't go home, and we can't see our father and queen mother." ”

She suddenly remembered the young man a few days ago, the prince of Canglou who was injured in his right arm by the silver arrow she pulled back with her sword. In fact, she felt in her heart that Prince Canglou was not as bad as his father, although the baby bear was still dead, but she didn't blame him, he was later hit by an arrow, and a group of people surrounded him, no one cared about her and the baby bear lying on the ground.

She buried the baby bear in the snow alone.

Later, the boy who was hit by the arrow came to look for her after recovering from his injuries and took her all over Kyoto.

They have been to the tallest building in Kyoto, the most prestigious Xingxing Pavilion, the most beautiful scenery of the Xingxing Pavilion, together after the light rain outside Kyoto on the river is the wet bridge to cross, to see the majestic ebb and flow of the river, but also to hold a bamboo pole and sit on a bamboo raft to enjoy the various colors of the riverside.

I have listened to Jiang Manlou's tactful and melodious songs and the joys and sorrows between the storyteller's mouth, and I have seen the neon clothes and colorful costumes in the Wu opera and the touching hearts of the stories in them.

She followed the boy and tasted jade fan cake, string chestnuts, eight fairy fruits, water ruyi, and sugar gourd......

At that time, Zhao Hanyan thought to himself: "What is he doing now?" ”

Xiao Lian heard the princess say what happened to her in Dongwei a few days ago, Xiao Lian only felt annoyed, she felt a pity, why did Her Royal Highness not meet the hateful Emperor Canglou, and did not kill the prince of Canglou who was hit by the arrow?

Xiao Pian sighed: "But after all, it's still not as good as in our Muliang!" Her tone suddenly became heavier, and an unusually confident gaze flashed between her eyes, and she said, "But Your Highness, I believe we will definitely be able to return to Muliang!" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hanyan nodded with a smile and said, "That little pity, you quickly find some red lanterns to hang up, we have to spend our own Chinese New Year's Eve even in Canglou!" ”

"Okay." Xiao Lian hurriedly responded, and was about to get up when she heard someone knocking on the door outside the palace gate, Zhao Hanyan motioned for her to go and have a look, and Xiao Lian got up and went forward.

opened the gate of Taihang Palace, and it was the guard who often came to summon the prince's mansion, and he stammered: "Aunt, aunt...... Girl, my Royal Highness wants to invite his friends to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, I don't know this aunt, aunt ...... Can the girl tell me a word? ”

"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao...... Come on. Still stammering! Xiao Lian said in his tone.

She closed the door, returned to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and said, "Your Highness, that Prince Canglou is really annoying, and even dares to invite you to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, shall we go?" ”

Zhao Hanyan blurted out: "Go, go!" ”

Li'er: "......"
