At that time, his father was in the prime of life, and his authority was in his hands, and he was no longer the young and panicked new monarch when he first ascended the throne, and he was far away from old age and illness.

He was in the best age of an emperor, only the prince under his knees, leaving behind the eldest son who died young, and five more.

The eldest son of the emperor was born to the queen and unfortunately died young.

Among the remaining five princes, the biological mother of the second prince is the noble imperial concubine Niangniang, the father of the imperial concubine was the official secretary at that time, and he was the right minister who everyone feared.

Although the third prince who was beaten by her was not as good as the second prince's background, when he was two years old, he was selected by the queen and has been raised by the queen's side, and was regarded by the queen as her own child.

And her younger brother, Li Xiao, the fourth prince, was just a young talent, and this talented person was promoted to concubine after giving birth to her and her younger brother.

There are also two little princes under the younger brother, and Li Bing, who later ascended the throne and was deposed, is one of them.

At that time, the mother concubine had just been promoted to a concubine, and it happened to be a great drought in Shudi, and someone with a heart involved her in this drought.

Although her father refuted this nonsense, the rumors in the palace continued, and her father did not call her mother to sleep in the following years.

The mother and her brother lived in the nearest remote place to the elephant garden, and when the weather was hot, no amount of incense smoked by the palace people could dispel the annoying mosquitoes and smells.

The younger brother was born frail and sickly, which made people worry and suffer, and in her impression, the mother rarely cried at that time, but never smiled.

This lasted until she was eight years old.

- that is, the year when she pretended to be her younger brother and beat the third prince.

That day, when the third prince pointed at her to complain, her father didn't have much expression on his face, but said to the third prince: "Li Yi, you should also have a better memory." When you use some strength to bully others, you should think about today. ”

The third prince's lips moved when he heard this, and he didn't dare to say more.

Then the father looked at her again—

He didn't even mention the beating of "her", and there was a hint of relief in his eyes: "It seems that Xiao'er's body is much healthier, and the person is in good spirits, very good, my emperor, this should be the case." ”

My emperor, that's how it should be.

She didn't know that this sentence would change her life, but she didn't dare to expose the lie, so she forcibly suppressed her voice, learned the tone of her brother in the past, and said with some trepidation: "Thank you father." ”

That night, the father stepped into the residence of the concubine for the first time.

After her father left, her mother called her to her.

As early as after she returned, the mother concubine already knew that she was pretending to be her younger brother to beat people, so that the palace people took care of her, and only then did she have time to see her.

She was still wearing her brother's robe, and when she stood in front of her mother, she thought that her mother would punish her severely.

But the concubine just looked at her and whispered, "Ah Shang, this robe is indeed very suitable for you." ”

The mother's always barren eyes seemed to have some hope, and she seemed to be a little sad: "You have always liked fists, kicks and sticks, saying that you want to protect Ah Xiao, but fists and kicks alone are not enough...... Now that you have a chance, you can become Ah Xiao to protect him, and you are willing, right? ”

She was puzzled: "Why...... Must you become a hero? ”

"Because Ah Xiao is the prince." The concubine looked at her, squatted down, held her small shoulder, and explained seriously: "Although Dasheng has had a female emperor, it is under the premise that there is no prince in the palace, and the right time, place and people are indispensable...... And your father now has five princes, and he will not pay attention to the princess, even if you are intelligent, how can he ever look at you? ”

She couldn't help but be stunned.

Yes.

Her father spoke to her today because "she is a hero."

She was inexplicably a little uneasy: "But mother, this is not fair." ”

"Fair ......" The mother pulled the corners of her mouth very rarely, like a smile, but like sarcasm: "People are born to be rich and low, how can they be fair?" ”

As the concubine spoke, she gently stroked her hand on her cheek, her fingers were very cold, and her tone was a little sad: "You and Ah Xiao are twins, but you were born extremely healthy, but he is so sick and weak...... And how can it be fair? ”

Under her mother's gaze, she felt guilty about it—just as she had overheard her mother and nurse say, "If their two siblings had a different body...... Life may not be so difficult anymore. ”

Just like every time Ah Xiao became ill, the mother looked at her as if there was always something she couldn't understand.

She had a good and healthy body, as if it was a fault, as if she had snatched it from Ah Xiao.

A small child still doesn't know how to distinguish too much, and the word self has not yet sprouted, so he is already full of guilt and debt.

So, in the face of the "opportunity" in her mother's mouth, she willingly accepted it.

She wants to "make up" for her "mistakes", she wants to make her mother happy, and she wants to have what her mother says can protect her brother more than her fists and feet.

So, she obediently put on the robe.

Later, the robe became armor - at that time, the country was in turmoil, the war was a real war, a war that had to be fought, in the face of such a war, in the face of fierce aliens, no prince dared to "experience", and this was her best choice.

Day after day, year after year.

She won many battles and made a lot of military achievements, so much so that when her father appointed "Li Xiao" as the crown prince, there were very few voices of opposition in the court and China.

Later, the armor was removed and turned into a wedding dress for relatives.

The wedding dress was her mother, no, the mother had become the queen mother—it was her mother who sent it to her.

"Ashan...... Three years, at most three years, A-Niang will welcome you back to Dasheng, and everything will be fine then. ”

Ah Niang.

The queen mother actually called herself a mother to her.

What an intimate and warm title it is, these two words are read in the heart alone, and they all make people feel at ease, as if they have found a place in the wind and rain, and they will no longer be afraid, and they will no longer be sad.

But for her, the most beautiful existence in this world has become a sharp blade.

That sharp blade is different from the open and dark arrows on the battlefield.

And she didn't dodge.

But it hurts too much, she doesn't want A-Niang anymore.

Then give everything back to the other party, this is the last time, enough to pay it off, she finally paid it off.

It's really nice to stop feeling sorry.

Even when she died, she felt that her breathing was smooth.

She let out a long breath, then opened her eyes.

Chang Suining sat up, only to see that the room was already bright, and she smashed her head with her hand.

"The girl is finally awake!" Xi'er walked over and brought a glass of warm water, and was very relieved: "The girl has been asleep for a day and a night...... I can't eat this wine anymore. ”

Chang Suining took the teacup, poured it first, and then asked Xi'er: "After I fell into the water yesterday, who rescued me?" ”

The vague memory in her mind only stayed at the moment when she fell into the water.

"It was the girl who swam up on her own......"

Chang Suining let out an "ah", and then Shang Jue nodded with satisfaction.

It's her.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to eat drunk and fall into the water, but after falling into the water, you can go ashore on your own, and you can also save some face.

"But when the girl fell into the water, General Ah Dian was still far away, and the general and Cui Dadu Governor happened to come over, and Cui Dadu Governor jumped into the water to save the girl......" Xi'er said, her voice was quieter: "But the girl somehow beat Cui Dadu in the water." ”

Chang Suining: "? ”

Cui Jing went into the water to save her, and she hit Cui Jing?

How outrageous this sounds: "...... Why did I hit him? ”

"The maid doesn't know...... Xi'er looked at her girl: "Did the girl forget everything?" ”

Chang Sui Ning looked at his sinful hands and drunken and weak body in silence.

It is not easy to completely tame this picked up body.

"But...... When did the girl learn to swim? Xi'er was curious.

Chang Suining, who was in a complicated mood, coped: "I don't know." ”

It doesn't matter, it's the case with people with bad brains.

Xi'er suddenly said: "The maid knows! ”

Chang Suining: "? ”

She can know this, too?

"It's like a girl learning to ride and shoot, just give it a try and you'll be able to do it immediately!" Xi'er said with honor on her face: "Since the girl's brain accident, what she learns now is talented!" ”

Looking at the little girl who had explained everything to her on her own, Chang Suining was silent and only relieved.

Very good.

That's the benefit of being a wizard.

And to be a wizard with a bad brain is even more invincible - under such a premise, no matter how outrageous things are, they will become reasonable.

"It's also strange to the maid, I didn't dissuade the girl from eating wine in time...... Xi'er said guiltily: "The girl has never drunk alcohol before, so the maid doesn't know how much the girl drinks......

Chang Suining suddenly retched.

Xi'er hurriedly patted her on the back: "What's wrong with the girl?" ”

Chang Suining suppressed the churning feeling: "Maybe the wine words in your words are too dense, and you feel dizzy ...... listening to it."

As he spoke, he wanted to vomit again.

Xi'er said repeatedly: "That maid won't say anything again!" ”

I'm afraid the girl is drunk this time...... Won't you even smell alcohol in the future?

"Then Cui Dadu Governor ...... Have you been injured by me? Chang Sui Ning slowed down before he could ask Cui Jing.

"It seems to be a piece of ...... here," Xi'er pointed to the corner of her mouth, "But it's okay, it's just a skin injury." ”

Chang Sui Ning sighed silently: "That's also wronged." ”

As her mind returned, she roughly remembered some fragmentary images, including the motive for hurting people at that time—she was drunk and confused, and mistook Cui Jing for an enemy soldier.

While speaking, Chang Suining, who was sitting at the head of the bed, touched an object next to the pillow with his fingers, picked it up casually, and saw that it was a white jade auspicious cloud hairpin-

She looked confused: "Where did this come from?" ”

"This is what you plucked from the head of Cui Dadudu......" Xi'er said with some embarrassment: "You pulled this out, and you wanted to use it against Cui Dadudu, and used it as a dagger, and then after you went ashore, you have been holding it tightly in your hand and refusing to let go." ”

Chang Sui Ning looked worriedly at the bed tent above his head.

After a while, he swore that he would never drink again. ”

She didn't like the feeling that she wasn't in her control, and it made her uneasy—this time it was a shame, and the next time she couldn't save it, she would lose her life.

"What time is it?" Chang Suining suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked Xi'er.

"Back girl, it's almost noon."

Chang Suining was a little remorseful: "I agreed with my brother last night to go out of the city this morning to worship and sweep——"

Wouldn't that be a broken promise?

"But Lang Jun's wine hasn't woken up yet, it is said that he got up early in the morning and ate some food, and then fell asleep after eating."

Chang Suining: "...... That's good. ”

Brother was drunk and couldn't wake up and she broke her promise, she chose the former.

"You'd rather wake up?" At this time, Chang Kuo's voice came from outside the room.

Chang Sui Ning put on his clothes and got out of bed.

Chang Kuo was still wearing an official robe when he walked in, and he obviously came to see his daughter in the morning: "It's good to wake up...... You kid, you scared Daddy yesterday! ”

"Does it hurt to have a headache?"

"You don't need to worry about the matter of Cui Dadudu, you didn't do it on purpose, he is not a person with a narrow stomach...... When the opportunity is found, Daddy will hold a banquet to compensate him, and the matter will be revealed. ”

"But this wine, it's really not good to drink more in the future, and you still have to ensure your safety." - Whether it's your own or someone else's.

Listening to Chang Kuo's words, Chang Suining nodded and should come down.

"By the way, there is one more thing...... Chang Kuo looked at his daughter curiously: "After Sui Ning swam up from the pond yesterday, what did he say to Daddy...... Cunning, what did you give to Daddy, what did you mean? ”

Chang Suining: "......"

Well, he didn't hear a single word that mattered.

Chang Kuo looked at her scratching his heart and lungs.

This thing always lingered in his mind, and he couldn't tell what it was, as if if if he missed it, he would miss something very important......

For this reason, he has pondered an early dynasty!

As for the arguing over who would take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he didn't even listen.

Chang Sui Ning thought about it and shook his head: "I don't remember either...... It's just drunk nonsense, and Daddy doesn't have to care. ”

Chang Kuo could only nod when he heard this.

However, the inexplicable sense of urgency in my heart still could not be completely dispelled.

He couldn't think of it, Chang Sui Ning was afraid that he would think about it, so he changed the topic and asked: "Daddy, was Governor Cui really not angry yesterday?" ”

"And rest assured, he is not easy to get along with, but in fact he is the most sensible." Chang Kuo said, suddenly frowning and said, "But...... The tricks that Sui Ning used yesterday, I look at it quite ruthless, how did Lao Chu think of teaching you this? ”

Chang Suining blinked: "This ......"

"Well taught!" Chang Kuo frowned and smiled: "You have to learn this to learn kung fu!" Flower boxing embroidered legs are useless, learn some killing tricks to defend yourself! ”

Chang Sui Ning smiled and said nothing.

……

Early the next morning, the Chang family brothers and sisters went out of the city to pay respects at Mrs. Chang's grave.

When burning paper, Chang Suian couldn't hold back and shed a few tears in front of the grave.

The grass and trees are dense in spring, and not far away, there is a figure looking at the situation in front of the tomb through the gap in the grass and trees, and seeing the back of the young man wiping his tears, he can't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, this sigh broke the matter.

The next moment, she suddenly saw the girl standing in front of the grave pouring wine turn her head, and then before she could react, the wine jug in the girl's hand flew straight over!

The pupils of the person hiding behind the grass shrank, and he hurriedly avoided it.

And this dodge dodges, revealing the figure.

"Quick, don't let her run!"
