Chapter 15: Xiaoqing's Dream
Northern
Snowstorms.
The chariots and horses galloped.
"Report, the first secret guard Xuanqing on the side of the monarch has arrived ten miles outside the city with a hundred dead soldiers."
The news came one after another, and when it reached her house, the people sent by the monarch had already entered the city and settled in the main pavilion of the palace.
Her father is the king of Zhenbei and the only king of the opposite sex in the dynasty; Mother is the daughter of Xiangguo, in order to admire her father's great military exploits, of course, that is a statement on the surface, in private, the most important thing is to be deeply trapped in the handsome and soft beauty of her father, otherwise the daughter of Xiangguo will not marry a major general in northern Xinjiang who has married a wife and has children and has been stationed in the bitter cold land all the year round, but Xiangguo has the ability of Xiangguo, and lowered her father's original wife as a concubine, and also raised her father as the king of Zhenbei, so that her mother happily became the princess of Zhenbei.
She has a brother named Xiao Chu, who was born from her father's original match and rarely sees each other.
Speaking of her father's original match, it was not long after she was born, and she disappeared here for some reason, according to the elderly mother-in-law in the house: the first day was fine, and the next day there was no trace.
The grievances between the mother and the father are also attributed to this.
Now the power of Northern Xinjiang is getting bigger and bigger, so big that it is close to the imperial power of the Central Plains.
It's not a good thing that the crown prince is here now.
She fell into the dust, spent fifteen years leisurely in the moisturizing and smooth, except for the few cries when she was born, she never cried again, did not fight, did not grab, did not mourn, did not be arrogant, and was quiet and quiet and deeply loved by the maids and women, and passed it on to be a model in the boudoir.
"It's freezing cold, and the DPRK has sent a noble Taifu here, I don't know why?" Zixi, the personal maid, added mahogany charcoal to the fire, then made a cup of new tea and sent it to the couch table in front of her, and then frowned slightly, "I heard that the princess coughed all night last night." ”
She knew that this Zi Xi was the purple spirit beside Fengsha Yuyao, and it should be on the third day when they were beaten into the mortal dust, Fengsha Yuyao found out where she landed, so she sent Zi Ling to follow and take care of it.
"The decoction sent by my father, but my mother still hasn't drunk it?" She took the conversation unhurriedly, continued to flip through the painting book in her hand, and suddenly felt that the story was old and mundane, and it was very boring, "My mother is too stubborn, just like when I fell in love with my father, I decided that I would not turn around." ”
"But you can't say this about your own mother, if it reaches the ears of the princess, I don't know how much sulking it will make." Her nurse put away the painting book in her hand and asked softly, "This snow will not stop for a while, and now it is Shen Shi, let's put on a fox fur and go to see the concubine." ”
Hearing this, Zixi immediately went to fetch the fox fur coat and came over.
The big maids in the house, Linglong and Wenxin, also quickly put down the needle and thread in their hands and got up, and Linglong opened the door and called the rough maid in the courtyard to prepare a warm sedan chair; Wenxin added a hand warmer and set her own embroidered brocade bag outside, and then tried the temperature just right, and then gave it to her.
She was escorted to the warm sedan chair, out of the yard, gently lifted the thick curtains, and saw the fluttering snowflakes covering every gap between the heaven and the earth, she did not like this kind of dense wind and snow day, in addition to giving people extra cold, there was also a sense of suffocation wrapped in the heart, in the fragmentary memories that slowly recovered: she was dressed in red, the red clothes were stained with blood, and a wounded little fox on her back, standing alone outside an enchantment in the dense wind and snow, and her mood sank to the bottom.
Si Ming Xianjun's pen is not simple, presumably she will not go smoothly in Fanchen's trip, Fanchen has experienced nothing more than three kinds, one is: bitter first and then sweet, second: sweet first and then bitter, and the third is unlucky: always bitter.
And she, don't do any three, according to common sense, her mother and father are in such a situation, as a child, she should be running between the two of them and be haggard, bitter and speechless, but in reality she is not touched.
It's just that I don't know where Zihan has fallen, or if he bothered to get the Qingqiu Hidden Fantasy Wine, but because of the leaky wind in his mouth, he offended Si Ming Xianjun, and he must have fallen into a good situation.
After walking straight out of her yard for a while, she walked east around several rockeries and ponds, and then crossed the small bridge to the east pavilion in the backyard, where her grandmother lived.
Her courtyard is in the middle of the backyard of the entire palace, and Xiao Chu's courtyard is in the west pavilion of the front yard, so I haven't seen him in these years except for the New Year's holidays.
Originally, my mother lived with her father in the East Pavilion in the front yard, but she was disturbed by the mysterious disappearance of her father's concubine, so my mother left her father and moved into the East Pavilion of the backyard.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and it was Yun Qing who was standing in front of the mother's house, and it was Yun Qing who came, and it could be concluded from the accessories that he was the first-class secret guard Xuanqing in the mouths of the maids.
Her sedan chair went directly into her mother's yard, and when she got off the sedan chair, Xuan Qing, who happened to be waiting outside the courtyard to be summoned, entered the courtyard under the guidance of her aunt's personal maid Yunrou, and when their eyes met, they looked at each other, but he didn't know her.
Yes, Yu Yu Qingjing is dressed as a male baby, and now she is a daughter, so he naturally didn't think about it.
Sure enough, the experience of the dead soldier is not simple, and at a young age, his demeanor is more stable.
She entered the house with Xuan Qing's front and back feet, and Yun Rou immediately cleared the scene and cleared out a group of maids, leaving only Zixi beside her.
The charcoal fire of the three braziers in the house burned red like the sun, which made the room warm and spring, giving the illusion that the flowers on the plate were blooming out of place.
Every time she came, she couldn't help but count how many plates of flowers bloomed in every corner of the house.
Zixi takes off her fox fur.
Yun Rou immediately gave her a cup of sweet fruit soup in her hand, and whispered, "It's cold outside, and as soon as the girl only stepped out of the door, the princess told Yun Rou to hurry up and warm up, so that the girl can drink and relieve the cold when she enters the house." ”
The last time I drank it was goat's milk, and the last time I drank it was the lotus seed and lily stewed blood swallow, and then the last time I drank the southeast fish gelatin porridge, anyway, it will not be repeated in a month, and my mother is very picky about eating, and she is even more picky about the environment in which she lives.
She looked at her mother and drank the sweet soup.
When Grandma took her eyes away from her, she also put away the shallow smile on her face, and then turned to Xuanqing who was standing in the center of the room.
Seeing this, Xuan Qing saluted her mother and said, "Xuan Qing meets the princess." ”
"Are you Xuanqing next to my sister?" Mother's voice was weak.
"Under is loyal to the queen, put the prince on his side, and die: Xuanqing." In contrast, this Xuanqing's voice was extremely loud and powerful.
"I heard that this trip was accelerated day and night, and it only took ten days, but there is a difference between the court and the court?"
"The king of the Southern Wilderness Domain is in turmoil, and Taifu has sent the holy decree to the main pavilion, intending to send 100,000 iron horsemen to suppress it." Xuan Qing handed out a letter and handed it to Yun Rou on the side to pass it on his behalf, "Xiangguo privately asked Zai to speak to the princess: honor and disgrace are born together, and weal and woe are shared." ”
"What can I do, how old my little girl is, is how long has it been since I talked to him." Grandma sighed, and after a little thought, she said slowly, "I don't think about it, I have been in this bitter cold place for sixteen years. ”
"The queen and Mrs. Xiangguo also let me tell the princess: It is bitter cold in northern Xinjiang, and His Royal Highness the county lord should not live here for a long time.
"Ridiculous!" When my mother heard this, she was shocked, she couldn't take a breath, her face was blue, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Yun Rou stepped forward to support her, and glanced at Zixi, "Quickly call for a doctor!" ”
Xuan Qing stood in place, his expression unchanged, like the same ice sculpture.
She also stood in the same place, looking at her mother's situation, but the resentment that had become a disease had penetrated deep into the viscera, and her life was short.
"Princess, don't be angry, it's important to take care of your own body first." Yun Rou almost half-hugged her mother to support her body and sit, and reached out and gently ran her back to calm her emotions, and whispered, "Look at the girl, if you get angry again, what will our girl do." ”
After a while, her aunt relieved herself and scolded, "I am such a daughter, and I also hit her idea, the palace wall of the imperial city is several feet high, it is easy to enter, how can I get out!" ”
Then another mouthful of blood spurted out of the annoyance.
"Mrs. Xiangguo also has a saying: In the past, the little girl did not listen to persuasion, admired the skin, and insisted on going to the northern Xinjiang, but finally ended up with resentment and illness in her body, and now there is only one daughter under her knees.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hospital, and Xuan Qing immediately saluted her aunt and quietly retreated.
She watched Xuanqing withdraw, and then watched her father come in with the medicine king, her father's face was extremely gloomy, and she didn't know whether she was anxious about her mother when she saw the blood in that place, or she was annoyed about the transfer of troops.
Everyone was around, the scene was very chaotic, and the grandmother was also carried into the back room.
Standing aside, she moved to the back of a pillar slightly, pulled the curtain slightly and half-covered her face, quietly looked at the messy scene in front of her, and thought in her heart that the pen of this Immortal Monarch was turning too fast, and she dared to love to let her experience a heart-wrenching love and hatred in mortal life.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chu ran in with an unprecedented respite, and the attendant behind him also held a box.
Father glanced at the box and asked, "How many years?" ”
"A hundred years, the old Tao said that it is the last two in the temple." After Xiao Chu finished speaking, he immediately glanced at the attendant and asked him to hand it over to Yun Rou.
Father's face faded slightly, and he said to Xiao Chu in a soothing tone, "It's been difficult for you in the past few years." ”
"It is the duty of children to relieve their parents' worries, and every year they run to death in search of this good medicinal material, and I only hope that this medicinal material will be beneficial to the mother and concubine." Xiao Chu suppressed his voice, glanced at the servant girl who was squatting on the ground and wiping blood, and then looked at the inner room, and asked, "Why did you vomit so much blood today?" ”
"She brought it on herself!" Father didn't have a good breath and said, "I used mountains of gold and silver to provide for her, and from time to time I was looking for trouble and sending people over to make trouble." ”
"Ahh
It was so out of place that she sneezed.
This attracted the eyes of Father and Xiao Chu, and they suddenly realized that there was such a person behind the pillar.
Xiao Chu looked at her in a daze, then turned to his father, and said very suspiciously, "Is this frightened?" ”
Father's face immediately twitched, and he gently hummed his throat to adjust his voice, and then smiled at her warmly and silkily, "My Qing'er, for my father, I am not afraid." ”
Her name is Xiao Xiaoqing: Xue Xiaoqing is in chaos. Sleepwalking, out of nowhere.
