The only thing that Eleven Niang didn't expect was that Cima, who chose to frustrate Tong'an's design, would ask Jing Zhaoliu to marry Qinglan.

Although she has not had in-depth contact with Cima, and she is not familiar with the character of this Tibetan prince, but for Cima's behavior in dealing with the peace incident, Eleven Niang can at least understand that she is by no means eager to utilitarian, and she is calm in mind and weighs the pros and cons, which is enough to serve as an envoy to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Empress Dowager Wei, who has given up plotting to assassinate Cima, of course will not push back the flames, causing the descendants to marry the heirs of the Tubo king, it stands to reason that this matter will not have any follow-up, and Qinglan does not need to bear the sorrow of marrying in a foreign country and saying goodbye to her family.

So when I met my sister-in-law Xue, Eleven Niang specially invited Qinglan to enter the palace, intending to personally ask Qinglan about her intentions, if Qinglan only agreed with her parents' orders because of responsibility, she would not agree with this marriage, this is not to say that Eleven Niang is really as "abolishing the public for personal gain" as Ann's accusation, provided that she has made up her mind, even if she refuses Cima's proposal to marry, it will not damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Eleven Niang got married that year, when she said goodbye to her family and went to Taiyuan, Qinglan was only six years old, she was still a carefree and innocent little girl, a few years later, goodbye, Qinglan has grown into a girl who is Tingting Yuli, she does not like to cry since she was a child, and her temperament is very optimistic and open-minded, even if she is the eldest daughter of the long house, dignified and steady, there is still no lack of humor and liveliness, which is indeed very similar to Wo Dan back then, Eleven Niang has no daughter, although there are not many opportunities to get along with Qinglan, but for her niece, Eleven Niang is extremely loved, Therefore, out of personal feelings, of course, she was reluctant to let Qinglan be wronged.

Qinglan has always been unrestrained in the face of the eleventh aunt who is the queen, after seeing the ceremony on this day, seeing her aunt beckoning slightly, she naturally snuggled up to her aunt's side, that sunny smiling face, I can't see any obscurity and sadness, but when I heard my aunt mention the marriage, she slightly revealed the shy attitude of her daughter's family, but this smart and witty woman immediately understood her aunt's worries.

Therefore, Qinglan did not avoid talking about it, and confessed her wishes generously: "When I first met the prince, my son had a good impression of his politeness, and after some talking, I felt that I had surrendered, and the prince often visited him, and I heard that the prince was talking about Chinese classics and history with his uncle and grandfather, and he often had profound views, and he was indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he was not reserved, and he appreciated the prince even more." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were slightly dyed, but his eyes were dark and clear: "I often talk about music theory with the prince, I have a sense of bosom friend, I talk about the way of yearning, and I feel that I have a soul, and even listen to the prince talk about Tibet, the sky is high and the wilderness is wide, and the horses gallop on the snowfield, how free and wanton, I am used to seeing flowers, but I have never experienced such a vast and vast world, if I have the opportunity in this life, I can travel to see the scenery of a foreign country, see the strength of the mountains and rivers, and the vastness of the wilderness, how can I not be lucky?" ”

She leaned her cheek against Eleven Niang's shoulder, with a smile on the corner of her lips: "Auntie, Lan'er believes that the reason why the prince proposes is not only because of utilitarianism, he is honest with Lan'er, he is not willing to force marriage, so he did not directly ask the saint for marriage, the prince even told his son, if he only knows his friendship with him, and has no intention of marrying, then he will not even ask the elder to marry, he does not want to embarrass Lan'er, and he is reluctant to let Lan'er go against his heart, he said that if there is no husband and wife, he will certainly feel regretful, but life can know himself, how is it not lucky?" Moved by the prince's sincerity, but also because he has broken his heart to the prince, before the prince formally proposed to marry, the son has bequeathed tokens with the prince, and agreed to the alliance of the white head with one heart, and the son is also glad that in this life, he can marry with the person he admires, even if in the future, he may marry a different race, and the son is also willing, but for the two to be long-lasting, honor and disgrace are shared, it will be happy, no regrets in this life. ”

Eleven Niang looked at her niece who was full of longing and expectation for the future and love, and she was worried about it.

She is very happy, but also for Qinglan, although from the life of Wu Dan, she has never intended to unscrupulously devote all her to love, her two marriages are based on responsibility and mission, but Eleven Niang is not disgusted with despising love, on the contrary, she likes those who are most affectionate and sexual, and can even be called envy and yearning.

And she also believes that although she may not be able to meet, there are still emotions in the world that do not abandon the same end, and can pour everything into love, and can get all the love of the other party, such emotions are the most precious and precious in the world, if you get it, you really have no regrets in this life.

She blessed Qinglan and hoped that her niece could grow old with Cima Baishou and be in harmony with Qinse.

After the queen's approval, the news of the marriage of the heirs of the Tubo prince and the Hou clan of the Great Zhou spread all over Chang'an City, and He Ye personally gave this marriage a good blessing with the respect of the emperor, but because of the queen's proposal, He Ye did not give the title of Princess Qinglan or the county lord, because the queen did not want this marriage to be marked with the slogan of political marriage.

But because of the special commendation from the Son of Heaven, Qinglan must enter the palace to thank her, this time she told Shi Niang that Princess Tong'an specially sent an invitation post after hearing that the dust had settled on this marriage, and then made an appointment to meet herself.

Eleven Niang didn't give any advice this time, she believed that Qinglan was already capable enough to execute this kind of matter on her own.

Later, she heard some of the circumstances of this meeting from Tong'an and Qinglan, first the day after Qinglan and Cimana's ceremony, Tong'an went to Chang'an Hall to say goodbye, and happened to meet Eleven Niang, Tong'an said this in a sneering tone: "I have to say, the queen is really clever, I heard that Cima and Ah Lan will be married, specially invited, it is true that I don't believe that the queen is determined, Ah Lan is willing to compromise for the so-called overall situation, I use words to provoke Ah Lan's resentment, but Ah Lan actually deceived herself, I don't believe that the queen regards her as nothing more than a chess piece, but the queen, Ah Lan is your niece, her father General Liu, and even her grandfather Yuanping County Gong, in order to help the queen's mother to serve the world, it can be said that she is sincere and dedicated, and you completely ignore Ah Lan's joys and sorrows, and bear to let such a kind and simple boudoir woman marry a non-human for the power and wealth, it is really chilling to think about. ”

This accusation was ridiculed, Tong'an deliberately said it in front of Ren Yaoguang and Xie Meiren, etc., and walked away after speaking, without giving Eleven Niang any chance to argue, Ren Yaoguang saw that the queen was at a loss, and he was very happy.

She didn't know that the queen didn't want to argue with Tong'an at all, but after this incident, her heart was faintly moved.

Tong'an's true temperament is by no means so shallow, boring to the point of clinging to such unnecessary verbal disputes, that is to say, she must have intentions in doing so, it seems that she wants to make the Queen Mother and Ren and so on believe that she and herself are already incompatible, although she may not be able to deceive the Queen Mother, but if Tong'an really has this intention, it is indeed a matter that Eleven Niang likes to see, at least, Tong'an will not do dangerous things that damage He Ye again, and will not be used by the Queen Mother, and will fall into a desperate situation step by step.

It wasn't until a year later that Cima and Qinglan had been married, and when they returned to the palace banquet, Qinglan mentioned the interview with Tong'an: "Your lord is indeed not a vicious person, although he used to calculate Yu Lan, but he did have remorse in his heart, and even secretly expressed that he hoped that Lan would not be guilty of the past, but I politely rejected your lord's euphemistic overtures, not that I still have a grudge against your lord, I told your lord, I am not a very person when you are your lord, so although I don't hold a grudge, but no one wants to be designed and used by others, still treat him as a close friend, intimate." ”

Hating a person, in fact, is more difficult than loving a person, Qinglan does not pursue Tong'an's actions, in fact, she doesn't want to embarrass herself, but she doesn't want to be like at the beginning, with sincere friendship and hope to influence Tong'an, she hopes that through this incident, let Tong'an understand that in addition to blood relatives, the rest of the world will no longer tolerate wrongdoing, this smart woman saw Eleven Niang's good intentions for Tong'an, she reminded Tong'an in this way, don't let down more, and really love her relatives.

"Lan will paint the work with his own hands and give it to your lord, even if it is a fellowship, the last thought."

Shi Niang has never seen the painting with her own eyes, but since the conspiracy of the Star Picking Tower, in order to prevent Tong'an from making mistakes again and again, she has developed three or two ears and eyes among the servants in the princess's mansion, so she knows that Tong'an has always treasured the painting and often appreciated it alone.

The painting scroll depicts the scenery of bright willows and flowers blooming in spring, there are warblers and swallows singing on the branches, and there are bees and butterflies dancing in the flowers.

There are no fences on all sides, but the woman seems to be forever in spring.

She is in the other world, unmoved by any beauty, Eleven Niang believes that Tong'an must recognize the person in the painting.

After many years, when the small county lord Yu Nuan was babbling, Eleven Niang teased Yu Nuan to speak, and she could vaguely see a little bit of Ye Zhaoyuan's appearance from the child's immature eyebrows, she gently touched Yu Nuan's soft cheeks with her fingertips, Yu Nuan immediately unfolded a bright smile, and Eleven Niang suddenly felt happy.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Tong'an avoiding her gaze, but she didn't have time to hide the smile at the corner of her lips, and Eleven Niang knew that the person in the painting had finally stepped out of the cage and was no longer isolated from the world.

That night, she dreamed of Ye Zhaoyi, the dream was short and vague, and she couldn't remember a word of conversation, but after waking up, Eleven Niang was in a particularly pleasant mood, she knew that this was a beautiful dream, if the dead knew it, there should be no more worries.

At that time, it was the spring of the fifth year of Yonghe, but at this time, it was still the early autumn of the second year of revival, a great war between the Great Zhou and the Turks was imminent, and the restructuring led by He Ye was still in progress, because the interests of many families and nobles were greatly damaged, and the seemingly calm situation was actually turbulent. The most eye-catching people are Xiao and Lu, one has become the leader of the Queen Mother's Party, the other is the leader of the orthodox faction, one is more and more popular, and the other is calm and relaxed, which makes the momentum of the group of supporters behind them become more and more different.

Eleven Niang doesn't know if the situation is still in the hands of the Queen Mother, in short, the whole summer has passed, and the Empress Dowager Wei has not made any moves, and it seems that she has withdrawn from the court and plans to live in peace for the rest of her life.

Until Yao Qian was imprisoned.
