is as close as a father and daughter, and some words are unspeakable.

For example, Zhao Xiyan never talked about the pain of being bullied ~ humiliated in his previous life in front of his father, and he never wanted to mention Murong Shen's past in order to take revenge.

Zhao Yuanming's past, which is hidden deep in his heart, is the same.

The painful farewell of twenty years ago suddenly flashed through my mind. After so many years, the scars have long since become scarred. This touch is still painful.

Zhao Yuanming slowly sat back, silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "I originally planned to bury these old things in my heart forever and not let you know. However, if you want to go to the capital with Xu Jing, you must not enter the palace to meet her. ”

Entering the palace?

Meet?

As soon as these words entered his ears, Zhao Xiyan's heart jumped, and then he thought of Zhao Yuanming's resignation from the crown prince, and an astonishing conjecture flashed in his mind.

The next moment, Zhao Yuanming's words sounded in his ears: "Her surname is Su, her maiden name is Duyun, and she is the queen mother canonized by the saint today." ”

Zhao Xiyan: "......"

Zhao Xiyan's pupils widened, and he looked at Zhao Yuanming in disbelief.

Zhao Yuanming had fallen into memory, and his eyes fell on one place, as if there was a girl who fell in love with him back then.

"When your grandfather was alive, he was friends with the master of the Su family in the same year. Back then, I went to Beijing to take the exam and stayed at Su's house for two months. ”

"Twilight is the youngest daughter of the Su family, beautiful and intelligent, and has outstanding poetry talents. She and I are like-minded and love each other. ”

"I won the champion, and after entering the Hanlin Academy, I asked the official media to go to the Su family to propose marriage. I didn't think about it, and was politely rejected by Mr. Su and Mrs. Su. ”

"Twilight is a famous beauty in the capital, and the Su family is looking forward to her flying on the branches, and they refuse to nod at all."

Zhao Xiyan came back to his senses from the shock: "What happened later? ”

"Twilight and I fell in love with each other and made a poisonous vow that I would not marry. The Su family couldn't resist her, and they didn't dare to force her. I went to the door again to propose, but I was still refused. ”

Marriage events, matchmakers' words, parents' orders.

The Su family did not let go, and Zhao Yuanming and Su Duyun, the two lovers, could only communicate in private.

Later, Mrs. Su coaxed Su Duyun out of the house, and "encountered" the prince of the dynasty on the way to the temple to burn incense. His Royal Highness the Prince, who was as lustful as his life, lost his soul when he saw Su Duyun. After that, he took the initiative to go to Su's house.

Su Duyun was extremely angry, and opened his mouth to angrily reprimand the prince. I never thought that the prince was a cheap bone, and the more Su Duyun didn't pretend to be pretentious, the more the prince moved his mind.

The prince soon knew that Zhao Yuanming and Su Duyun were in love in private, and he was jealous and hateful in his heart, and secretly signaled, making things difficult for Zhao Yuanming.

Zhao Yuanming gritted his teeth and refused to bow his head.

However, no one in this world can compete with the imperial power. What's more, the Su family was eager to send Su Duyun to the East Palace.

"That day, Twilight came to see me out of the blue." After many years, remembering the farewell scene back then, Zhao Yuanming was still heartbroken, and his voice sank: "She told me that she was going to marry the crown prince and be the crown princess." Since then, he has been cut off from me. He also asked me to resign and return to Beihai, and never set foot in the capital for half a step. ”

"I answered her."

After that, he resigned and left Beijing and stayed in Beihai County for 20 years. She was never seen again.

Occasionally, when he thought of her, he would open the Book of Poetry and look at the small portrait he had painted for her.

……

Dad is too miserable.

Zhao Xiyan's heart was heavy. She has tasted the pain of parting with her sweetheart, how can such a life and separation not be a kind of torment?

Zhao Yuanming's mood was up and down, and it was difficult to calm down, so he turned his head to the side.

"Dad, is my mother like her?" Zhao Xiyan asked softly.

Zhao Yuanming took a deep breath, turned his head, and looked at Zhao Xiyan: "Yes, there are three or four points of similarity." Especially a pair of eyes, born very similar. ”

"Back then, I was discouraged, and after returning to Beihai County, I didn't want to get married at all. Your grandmother and your great uncle have tried to persuade me many times, but they can't persuade me at all. ”

"Three years have passed. One day, I went to a bookstore to buy books and met a girl from the bookstore's owner's house. The girl wore a light blue cloth dress, her eyes were bright, and her appearance was somewhat similar to hers. I was momentarily surprised and couldn't help but take another look. The girl smiled shyly at my eyes, and when she laughed, she looked more like her. ”

When Zhao Yuanming said this, he paused: "She is your mother." ”

"In the beginning, I came to the door to ask for a marriage, indeed because she looked like the girl in my heart. After getting married, your mother is gentle and virtuous, and our relationship between husband and wife is getting better and better. I don't think of her as anyone's shadow anymore, I just want to spend my life with her for the rest of my life. ”

"It's just that your mother's life is thin, and she had a difficult birth when she gave birth to you, so she went early."

"Probably because my life is destined to have a bumpy love road. I have Twilight Cloud in my heart, and I have your mother, and I can't tolerate other women anymore. So, I haven't continued the strings. ”

Zhao Xiyan was so sad when she heard this, she didn't know what to say to comfort her father for a while.

After Zhao Yuanming confided the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years, the whole person was a lot more relaxed: "Crescent moon, you are different from your father. My father couldn't resist the imperial power back then, and watched the prince snatch my sweetheart, so I could only resign angrily and return to my hometown. ”

"Now, there is Xu Jing to protect you. It is not yet known whether that Murong Shen can be like in his previous life. Don't be afraid of him. ”

Zhao Yuanming once tasted the pain of saying goodbye to his sweetheart, and did not want to see his daughter repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, he knew that Murong Shen was a better candidate for a son-in-law, but he still chose Xu Jing.

How happy and happy is it for people to live in the world and stay with their sweethearts?

He didn't want his daughter to compromise on everything.

"When you go to the capital, you have to keep two things in mind. First, don't see the emperor alone. Zhao Yuanming instructed: "Second, when you enter the palace to see the queen's mother, don't mention me." ”

Zhao Xiyan nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll write it down." ”

Zhao Yuanming thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Also, if you want to go to the capital, don't publicize it for the time being, don't say anything about it." When the messenger comes, let your grandmother know. ”

also lest their own old lady's festival have branches.

Zhao Xiyan responded one by one.

……

Three days later.

The envoy Meng Yushi finally arrived in Beihai County.

Meng Yushi was jealous of the rich, and from the moment he stepped into the Beihai Palace, his heart burned with sparks.

The people's fat and people's ointment, all of them are people's fat and people's ointment!

With the tax and financial resources of a county, he supported the vassal king of a land. If these taxes are handed over to the imperial court, where will the treasury be so empty!

Cutting the domain, you must cut the domain!

What is the king of Beihai, the king of Xihe, and the king of Yingchuan, all of them should have cut their feudal positions. There are also these princes of the vassal kings who spend money and like extravagance, and they should all go to the capital to "study".

Meng Yushi had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and a handsome young man dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of him.

This young man is wearing a silk brocade robe with inch of cloth and gold, wearing a jade crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist, except for his extremely handsome face, everything is the same as the gentleman in Meng Yushi's imagination.
