Shangguan Yun withdrew his sleeves and frowned slightly, "Hmm." ”

Chu Wenzhao put down the flute in his hand, walked behind Shangguan Yun, and hugged her into his arms with open arms, "Yun'er, it's okay." ”

Chu Hanzhang told Zhou Yiqing that in the months when Empress Shangguan was seriously ill, the most she heard was "It's okay." Chu Wenzhao comforted Shangguan Yun, and Shangguan Yun comforted her.

Obviously, the Great Wei Dynasty during that period was treacherous, but they hid outside the city, hiding in the plum garden outside the world, deceiving themselves and feeling that everything was nothing.

On February 14, the 25th year of Xiaowu, Empress Xiaowu Yuan Shangguan Shi, was 37 years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

When the news reached Meiyuan, Shangguan Yun was teaching Chu Hanzhang to make wontons in the kitchen, the meat was full of thin skin, and the soup was fresh and rich.

"What?" The dough in Shangguan Yun's hand was so shocked that it slammed into the cutting board, splashing with flour and dust, and her eyes were half surprised and half worried, "Empress... What about Ke'er? Ke'er is okay? "After all, it is a child who has been raised for nine years in front of me, and he has more or less true feelings.

Chu Wenzhao helped her aside and patiently replied, "Ke'er is fine, now I am guarding the spirit of Niangniang in the Qiuhe Palace, and the people in the palace have come to report and ask me to enter the palace sooner, this day, I'm afraid it will change." ”

Shangguan Yun's frowning eyebrows became more and more wrinkled, and she held Chu Wenzhao's hand instead, "Don't interfere." The Chu family is enough now, Brother Wen, don't. ”

"When my mother said this, I was standing on her left side, and I could vaguely see some complicated emotions in her eyes, including pleading and decisive, but I was still young at that time, and I didn't understand the meaning of this look, I didn't know what my mother was pleading, and I didn't know what she was for." Chu Hanzhang's fingertips, as white as jade, struck his wrist three times.

There seems to be a breeze blowing on the lotus pond, and the surface of the pond, which was originally empty as a mirror, is also folded with water waves.

Under the waves, Chu Hanzhang's voice was cold and distant, she said, "Until the end of the twenty-fifth year, the first emperor died, and the third brother was appointed as the emperor from seven or eight princes, and succeeded to the throne.

It wasn't until then that I learned that my father had become a third brother many years ago, and in order to support him, he forced my two older brothers to join the army. Heh......"

"You," Yi Lingzhu was about to move, and Zhou Yiqing looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

She grinned at her, "It's good, it's not good, no matter how I am, I'm much better than them." ”

The result of forcing a person to engage in a profession he does not like can be imagined.

It is recorded in the "Collection of the History of the Wei Soldiers" that in April of the 25th year, Chen Guo re-invaded Jincheng, and Chu Zhongyi was ordered to go there, but died in the August mountain fire, and there were no bones.

In May of the twenty-fifth year, Nanping in the south of the Great Wei also seemed to have discussed with the Chen State in the north, and disturbed the south from time to time, at that time, Emperor Wu of Wei was afraid of Chu Wenzhao's high shock, and Chu Wenzhao knelt on the top of the hall in order to seek self-purification, and invited a soldier to the south for his eldest son Chu Bowen, who had never held a sword.

Chu Bowen's army set out immediately, arrived in July, and won a great victory in October.

On the day of the class teacher's homecoming, Chu Hanzhang ran to the city wall of Shangjing City early, with a goose yellow jacket and a white coat, behind the gray-brown city wall, standing under the lacquered red bricks and tiles, delicate like a flower in the garden.

This is what Chu Hanzhang wore for her for a day by relying on Shangguan Yun, she still remembers that Shangguan Yun praised her before going out, saying that she was dressed like this, maybe Bowen wouldn't recognize her.

She giggled and exclaimed, "How is that possible! ”

Can ...... now

The eldest brother recognized her, but he, how could he ......

"Is it Zhang'er?" Chu Bowen smelled the same cold plum blossom fragrance on the person who came as Chu Hanzhang and asked.

Tears hit Chu Hanzhang's eyes several times, she trembled her lips and nodded slightly, "Big... Eldest brother! ”

She leaned her fingers in front of his eyes little by little, and pointed to the bloodstained gauze completely, and then asked him in a choked voice, "Big brother, you have shed a lot of blood." ”

The corners of Chu Bowen's mouth, which had not been bathed for many days, were crawling with stubble, and when he smiled, the stubble moved, "It's okay, it's all scabbed, it's all right." ”

"Is it really okay?" She didn't believe it, but she could only believe it.

After Chu Bowen returned to the court, the news that Chu Zhongyi died in a mountain fire and his bones were also stabbed in front of Shangguan Yun by someone with a heart.

Shangguan Yun, who was already weak because of Chu Hanzhang's physical strength, couldn't bear it and fell completely ill, and after lingering on the sickbed for a few months, his soul returned to his fragrance. ”

The Lingzhu was instantly beating and restless when Chu Hanzhang said this, and the light on it suddenly turned red, Zhou Yiqing hurriedly folded his blue fingers, twisted his mind, and injected spiritual power into the Lingzhu to suppress his anger with his spirit.

Shang Lu glanced at Yi Lingzhu, and then at Chu Hanzhang, who was covered with sweat due to his mood swings, and used the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique to talk to Zhou Yiqing, "It seems that Shangguan Yun's death and the experience of her two elder brothers are also part of the reason for her resentment. ”

Zhou Yi cleared his jaw and folded his hands.

The spirit bead that had calmed down re-entered Chu Hanzhang's memory.

The picture changes again......

After the death of Emperor Xiaowu, his sixth son Yuan Ke, King of Qin, inherited his throne and became the seventh monarch since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The first thing Yuan Ke did after succeeding to the throne was to fulfill the agreement with the great Sima Chu Wenzhao and marry Chu Hanzhang into the palace with the gift of the main palace.

Zhou Yiqing noticed that Dao Chu Hanzhang did not show the joy they expected when he said this, and the Lingzhu was clear and transparent, and there was nothing strange at all.

Chu Hanzhang pointed out Zhou Yiqing's curiosity and said, "Miss Zhou, do you feel it, I should be happy because of this?" ”

Zhou Yiqing didn't understand human affairs, but as far as the relationship between Yuan Ke and her was concerned, "Do you like him?" She asked, uncertain.

Chu Hanzhang said bluntly, "I like it." When I was a young girl, I got along day and night, and in the face of a man like His Majesty, it was hard for me not to like it. ”

That......

Against Zhou Yiqing's doubts, Chu Hanzhang said again, "Compared with liking him, what I love most is freedom, if the third brother is not Your Majesty, but the third brother of my Chu family, then I am overjoyed about this marriage, but he is not, he is a king, if I want to marry him, I must follow him into the imperial court, live in the deep palace, and will not be able to come out for the rest of my life." I will be like a captive finch like I did when I was a child, with no freedom at all.

I hated that kind of life, so even if I liked him very much, I didn't want to marry him. ”

"But you married him anyway." Shanglu Road.

The corners of Chu Hanzhang's eyes showed a slight sadness, "Yes, in the end, I still married him." resisted once, but it only pushed back the day of entering the palace by five years. ”

In the fifth year of Xuanwu, the emperor and queen got married, and there was no expected ten-mile red makeup, and the cold was not as good as the ordinary rich and noble people marrying daughters.

Before Chu Hanzhang got married, Chu Wenzhao's stepwife Yuwen said to her, "Oh, eldest lady, don't be extravagant, the purpose of streamlining is the edict left by the first empress dowager, you can't blame the concubine for not arranging it well." ”

Chu Hanzhang likes beauties, but she doesn't like Yuwen's family, she doesn't like it to be bored, she scratched her coldly, "The queen mother advocates frugality, and Your Majesty and the palace should obey it." Only the concubine has forgotten that today is the wedding of the palace, and Yu Li's concubine is not worthy of this. ”

"You ......" Just like Chu Hanzhang doesn't like Yuwen's family, Yuwen's family also doesn't like this lawless eldest lady in the mansion, she stared at her back with hatred in her smile, is it really a good place in the palace? With a temperament like yours, you can only have a ghost if you don't be tortured to death.

She straightened her back and stroked her lower abdomen, if she hadn't intervened back then, she would have been able to marry into the Chu family for so many years without an heir?

Chu Hanzhang, Miss Chu, has a rich future, you have to take it carefully.

"Zhang'er!"

Across the big red cover of the depiction of branches and phoenixes, Chu Hanzhang could vaguely distinguish that the man who was one step away in front of him was his father, since Shangguan Yun's death, it was like a horizontal trench between their father and daughter, as long as she saw him, she couldn't help but think of him for the sake of the Chu family's wealth and power, and repeatedly regarded his children as a weight in his hands, giving up one after another.

"Zhang'er..."Chu Wenzhao stretched out his calloused hand at Chu Hanzhang.

She took a step back, her voice as cold as ice, and her voice as silent as ink, "Father." The daughter bids farewell to her father. ”

"Hey!" He stiffly withdrew his hand, his cloudy eyes filled with tears, "Okay." ”

Feng Luan entered the palace, and she sat in the Qiuhe Hall where the queens of the Great Wei Dynasty lived, quietly waiting for the newcomer who had not been seen for a long time.

Shen Shi Sanke, the "newcomer" slowly walked into the hall, she clasped her left and right hands, one hand kept clasping the palm of the other hand.

She sat there, nervous, nervous, but there was no joy, this marriage seemed to be satisfied with everyone, but what was the result?

She was unhappy, very unhappy.

She thought, if she could, she would rather her father be less greedy, she would rather the Chu family be a little broken, she would rather ......

She just wants her mother to be there, her second brother is still there, her eldest brother can still take her out to bend the bow and shoot the eagle, and her father is also trying to blow the song "Egret Flying High" tortured her and can't wait to be deaf.

"Fourth sister!" A wide and calloused hand held Chu Hanzhang's hand, and after three years of not seeing it, Chu Hanzhang didn't know that her first third brother had grown into a beautiful young man.

Weighing the red cover, eleven-year-old Chu Hanzhang is still childish, and his face is not much different from three years ago, but his eyebrows and eyes have changed from ignorance and innocence to calmness.

With such a big change, Yuan Ke was also panicked for a while, he stood in front of the lamp for a long time before he said, "After a day of salute, I'm tired." ”

Walking to the side of the museum shelf, he picked up a box and said, "There are many rules in the palace, I thought that the fourth sister must be hungry, so I asked the palace people to fill some pastries in this box in advance, fourth sister, try it?" ”

Yuan Ke's eyes were full of hope, and the action of holding the pastry box was almost flattering, Chu Hanzhang stared at him for a long time, and after a long time, he got up softly, and gave him a salute respectfully and compliantly before carefully picking up a small piece from the plate of the box.

He put it to the corner of his mouth, took a slight bite, and said, "Concubine, thank you for your kindness." ”
