"Leave your name behind." King Ning repeated her words, a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Do you know my name?" ”

"It's disrespectful to call the prince by his name." Xie Hanci lowered his eyes and looked at the tiles in front of him, and King Ning waved his hand, "This king forgives you for your innocence." ”

Xie Hanci still evaded: "The prince has a single name, a dust word." ”

King Ning nodded and said, "Jingchen." Dust of dust, dust of dust. ”

Xie Hanci raised her eyes to look at him, she also wondered why a prince would take such a name.

"The name was given by my father, and it was originally the star of the stars."

He took another sip from the flask, looking into the distance.

"It was late autumn, and the hibiscus flowers outside the gate of the palace of the concubine were gone, and when I walked in, the dormitory was full of rotten sweetness mixed with the bitter taste of Chinese medicine, which made people breathless. My mother was lying on the couch, stretched out her skinny hand and grabbed me, saying that she was going to find her father, and that there would be no one to protect me in the future, so I had to take good care of myself. “

Xie Hanci looked at him, only to see that his long eyelashes were stained with tiny droplets, and he looked at the shallow lake not far away, his eyes reflected the lake water, clear and sparkling.

The next day, the mother concubine left, nicknamed Gong Shu, and posthumously named the concubine. After she saw me, she dragged her sick body to the Empress Dowager's palace to ask for a decree, saying that our mother and son were blessed and could not bear the emperor's grace, she was already terminally ill, and there was no room for turnaround, and asked the Empress Dowager to take back the name given to me for the first emperor. ”

Xie Hanci swallowed and foamed, these were all royal secrets she had never heard of, "The Queen Mother agreed?" ”

"The Queen Mother should go down, and give the name Jingchen on the spot, and I have become dust on the soles of my feet, everyone can be bullied, and everyone can step on it. But he saved his life. ”

Xie Hanci was a little puzzled and asked, "Why does the Queen Mother care so much about your name?" ”

King Ning put the wine jug down heavily, and the wine jug collided with the tiles with a crisp crisp sound, and he swallowed the wine, but the bitterness spread on the tip of his tongue.

"When the Queen Mother gave birth to today's saint, her father just ascended the throne, so she asked the national teacher to divinate a hexagram, the hexagram is Gen, Gen has the meaning of solidity, implying that the country is stable, and the father is happy, so he simply gives the name to Gen. The Queen Mother has always been very satisfied with this name, until my father got me in the year of the sixtieth year and named it Chen. ”

The stars, the stars.

Although Gen has the meaning of solidity, it also has the meaning of the earth, mountains and rivers.

The stars, naturally, are on top of the mountains, and are looked up to.

A gust of north wind blew, Xie Hanci shivered, on this roof of less than two feet, she actually felt that she was too cold from a high place.

"Is it difficult for the Queen Mother to be for you and Niangniang?" Xie Hanci was afraid that he would miss the business tomorrow, so he reached out and took the wine jug next to him.

Jingchen didn't stop it, just snorted coldly.

"Embarrassed? I vaguely remember that if my father was not there, my mother would stand at her desk, light a small lamp, and copy "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan" over and over again. She was the favorite concubine of her father in his later years, but the fingers holding the pen had thick calluses, which were not as good as the sprinkling and sweeping palace maids in the palace. “

Xie Hanci sighed, wanting to say something, but he didn't know what to say. copied "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan", this is to warn her not to let her son be the uncle of the Gong, and to abolish the emperor and establish the young, and in the end there is only a dead end.

In the view of the Queen Mother, the son's name has been related to the stability of the country and the prosperity of the country. At this time, an old man jumped out, and his name secretly pressed his son, and the mother and son naturally became a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

Jing Chen looked at the woman in front of him, his brows were tightly locked, and her slender willow eyebrows seemed to be tied in a knot at the moment.

"Alright, let's not talk about these old things. I just want to tell you that sometimes it is helpless to leave behind your original name, but you also get a chance to start over. Look at me now, isn't it good? ”

Xie Hanci took a sip of his wine jug, and the strong wine entered her throat, choking her coughing again and again.

"Yes, even if you change your name, you know where you came from and where you are going. And I, my biological parents, are like a fog that I can't see clearly, and I don't know how many secrets are wrapped in the fog. Xie Hanci paused, and then changed his words: "Lord Wang, I have something I want to ask, about Shen Painter." ”

Jing Chen's expression flashed with a hint of unnaturalness, "Some things seem complicated, but the reasons are very simple. Some things are simple, but they are self-defeating and become mysteries. Your biological parents have deliberately concealed you, and there must be a reason for doing so. The Si people have passed away, so why should the living hold on to the past. “

"Is the prince unwilling to help me?" Xie Hanci clenched the wine jug in his hand, and his knuckles were slightly white because of the force.

Seeing her like this, Jingchen bent down and stretched out a hand to gently support the bottom of the wine jug, wanting to pull the wine jug out of Xie Hanci's hand, but she still held the handle tightly and did not let go, and the small green glazed jug was pulled by two hands in this way, across the middle of the two.

After a moment of stalemate, Jing Chen sighed and said: "Okay, this time when I go back to Beijing, I will find out all the things that Shen Lang put in me, and when I come back, if your mind has not changed, I will tell you everything I know, do you think this is good?" ”

Xie Hanci hesitated for a while, but still let go of her hand, and as the green glazed pot sank in Jing Chen's palm, she also kept this matter in her heart for the time being.

After bidding farewell to Xie Yuan and King Ning, the king of Anchang County held a banquet.

Water Pavilion Wind Pavilion, Golden Curtain Jade.

On a summer night, the garden of the mansion was full of pear blossoms, and the petals fluttered on the pond when the breeze blew, and a few of the red foreheads floated to the surface of the water, and after discovering that they were not fish food, they slowly sank to the bottom of the pond.

The rules here are different from those in Shudi, and men and women are seated.

Xie Hanci sat at the end of the women's seat, looking at her empty sleeves, in the last month, she vomited all the way, and now her clothes are bigger, and she looks like a hungry person outside the city, and she looks out of place in a crowd of glamorous and bejeweled female dependents.

She looked at the king of Anchang who was sitting at the head of the seat, he was now in his fifties, and his wife was a continuation, and he married in three years ago to add a son to him. Coupled with the first wife's one son and three daughters, and several concubines, the people can be regarded as prosperous.

But this old county king is still thinking about his heirs, and he accepts some young and beautiful concubines every once in a while.

At today's banquet, the princess of the county was still sitting at the head of the women's seat, and the king of Anchang had no scruples and hugged the two coolly dressed beauties and smiled.

"Is it the new concubine?"

Xie Hanci looked at the two beauties who were not a few years old and muttered to himself.

"Concubine? It's just two wild foxes, but tomorrow it may become domesticated. The woman sitting to her left answered.

She was dressed in a red middle coat, with a pinched gold silk dark pattern peony armor on the outside, although it was a homely dress, but it was full of the charm of wealth and wealth, looking at Xie Hanci, and generously introduced herself: "My name is Li Yihuan, oh, I am the second daughter of the old pervert." ”

The corners of Xie Hanci's mouth hooked up a smile: "It is said that the son does not say anything about the father, but the second lady is blunt." ”

Li Yihuan shook his head: "It's just to tell the truth, and now the whole Dafeng is the most lacking in people who tell the truth." Otherwise, it will not make the people's livelihood miserable, and absurd and treacherous things occur frequently in various places. Miss Xie, the capital is not as good as Shudi, let's listen to the truth for the time being, I can't say that I will miss it very much after entering Beijing. ”

Xie Hanci was slightly surprised: "You know me? ”

Li Yihuan blinked: "I usually like to read some legendary stories, and one of the volumes of "Shuzhou Strange Cases" happens to record some of the cases that Miss Xie solved in Shudi, I like it very much." ”

Xie Hanci scratched her head embarrassedly, she only had a green wood hairpin in her hair, when she was packing her luggage, she only thought about being a cook for Li Jingyu, usually a straw label is enough, and she doesn't need to bring any luxurious hairpins, so now her head is extremely simple.

Li Yihuan frowned, seeing her embarrassment: "Miss Xie, I saw you at first sight, I don't know if I can exchange hairpins with you." In our case, girls who have a good relationship often do this as a sign of intimacy. ”

Xie Hanci knew what she meant, but he was also happy to accept her heart, so he generously thanked him and pulled out his Aoki hairpin.

Li Yihuan was also worried about whether he was a little abrupt, after all, the two met for the first time and didn't understand each other's temperament. Seeing that she thanked her happily and pulled off her own wooden hairpin, Li Yihuan also happily pulled off the jasper Qibao exquisite hairpin on her head and handed it to Xie Hanci.

The maid stepped forward, poured half a glass of green plum wine for the two, and said: "The princess of the county looked at the two young ladies and chatted very closely, today made an exception for the young lady to eat some wine, Miss Xie can also taste it if she wants, this is the princess of the county's new plum wine this year." ”

Li Yihuan and Xie Hanci glanced at each other, both raised their wine glasses, and toasted to the princess of the county.

Xie Hanci knew that he didn't drink well, so he only dared to take a shallow sip, but he didn't expect that this wine was clear and sweet, with a strong plum flavor. Li Yihuan did it in one bite, and the maidservant hurriedly poured it for her again.

"My new mother really has nothing to say, she married my father's bad old man at a young age, and she still has to care about a few of our stepchildren who are not a few years old like her."

Xie Hanci looked at the princess of the county, probably afraid that her prestige would be insufficient and she would not be able to suppress her subordinates, she was wearing a light purple silk shirt and a Xichi hairpin, which looked a little unsuitable for her age.

Li Yihuan lowered his eyes, blinked his eyes and said: "I was a little worried at first, but after she came, not only did she embarrass us, but also invited the best female gentleman in the capital to teach me to read, but I am not angry and prefer to watch some legendary stories." ”

Xie Hanci nodded: "I'm the same, I usually like to read some essays, weird talks, and wild histories, even those "Boudoir Training" and "Female Commandments", I get dizzy when I read it, and I want to sleep after reading it for half an hour." ”

Li Yihuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You can still read for half an hour, and I will last a quarter of an hour at most." How long have you lived here, all the books in my room are lonely, but there is no confidant to enjoy with me on weekdays, if you are interested......"

Before she finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from the men's seat, attracting everyone's attention.

The king of Anchang was drunk and buried his whole head in the chest of the beauty next to him, and the beauty did not hide, but smiled and held the ugly head of the king of the county.
