Time goes back to 28 years ago, the Eight Sages King was in his prime, born with a talent, graceful, wise and intelligent, very high qualifications, and won the favor of Song Zhenzu. Later, because of the disadvantages of the "recruitment system" of the imperial court, which led to the disadvantages of "strong cadres and weak branches", he urged to change the embarrassing situation of "soldiers do not know generals, and generals do not know soldiers" and was rejected by the clan.

In the year of being degraded, in Yanmen Mountain, where "one husband is the key, ten thousand people are not open", he began to learn to reflect on the political situation that he could not control for the first time, to grasp the political situation that he could not control, to truly enjoy the pleasing and relaxed pleasure given by nature for the first time, and to chase the love of his peers for the first time.

Obviously, he has always been surrounded by left and right, beautiful women around his knees, a little tired of the struggle for power, and a little tired of the skin kiss between men and women with too many connotations in the deep palace. He was pleasantly surprised by her ability to read the history of books, understand the rhythm of music, and know the talents of the Later Han Dynasty, and liked her picturesque eyebrows, pear vortex smile, and quiet eyes like autumn water, and liked the deliciousness of chestnut cakes, lotus leaf soup, and flower cakes made by herself...... They climbed the majesty of the "First Pass of Nine Stops" together, listened to the generosity of "half a red flag Linyi Shui" together, and pained the tragedy of "the bones on the side of Yanmen Mountain" together.

Until one day, he plans to confess to her about his imperial family background, because he wants to surprise his lover: he finally makes up his mind to marry her as a princess.

Until one day, she also planned to confess to him that she was the daughter of a Khitan merchant, because she wanted to surprise her lover: she had the crystallization of love, and he was going to be a father.

"Let's break up, I'm a man who is not emotionally single-minded, and I won't give you happiness!" When Gu Xue said in advance that he was a Liao person, because he was keen on Sinology, he traveled around the famous places of Middle-earth under a pseudonym, he said indifferently.

"This is not a reason, and when love or happiness is not there, it should not be deceived!" Gu Yu hissed, she read the melancholy in his eyes, she wanted to figure out what was wrong.

"We Khitan people don't like to beat around the bush and want to talk about it. I don't believe that our past was fake, and I don't believe that the man I fell in love with would be a careless and joyful person!" Gu Xue asked gloomily.

"If you have to ask why, it's simple, and I'm sure you'll understand. He turned his head sideways, the sadness and helplessness in his eyes wrapped his self-esteem tightly, he did not have a history of tears because of women, he did not have it before, and it will not be there now and will not be, but the injury that really touched him still left the tears of the king when he turned his back on the woman he loved.

"Oh, because I'm a Khitan--" Gu Xue suddenly understood. She smoothed her sleeves, suppressed her sadness, and said, "I don't know what kind of honorable background you are, but I think if I were the daughter of the Han family or the equally prominent family of the Khitan, we would be together, right?"

"Yes, if you are just an ordinary daughter of the Han family, I can eliminate the prejudice of the door, regardless of the difference in rank, and marry you into the door, because I will do everything I can to be with the person I love; if you are from a prominent Khitan family, I can also persuade my family to accept you through marriage, strengthen political exchanges between the two sides, and turn hostility into friendship--- but unfortunately you are neither. ”

He slowly turned his head, quickly swept the sentimentality in his eyes, and said in a leisurely voice: "Since Taizu, the Song-Liao War has been 25 years now, and there have been countless casualties on both sides, and there are many grievances and grievances, especially Emperor Taizu's defeat in the Battle of the Gaoliang River, and the two sides are already on the same footing - I really can't bear this heavy love that condenses the blood and tears of the nation, this is really not within my ability, it will press me out of breath, and suffocate me at any time!" he accentuated his tone, as if he wanted to vent his anger.

"In order to compete for naked interests, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, this is a simple truth, there is no right or wrong on the battlefield!" Gu Xue refuted in a word: "In the face of the word profit, whether it is a country or an individual, it is the nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. ”

"I don't want to discuss any national righteousness, I'm just an ordinary merchant family of the Khitan tribe, my father has been doing business on the Song-Liao border all the year round, we have mutual exchanges, mutual benefit, we pray for peace in the world, everything is prosperous, there is no hatred and hatred between too many ethnic groups--- I just want to ask, this child, what are your plans." As she spoke, the corners of her mouth outlined a shallow arc, stroking her newly pregnant belly, her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness, and she asked cautiously with a glimmer of hope.

"This child was born at the wrong time, maybe he shouldn't have come to this world in the first place. He hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "This is a thousand taels of silver tickets that I carry with me, I know it's despicable, but I have no other way to express my apologies, you take it first, and make the child better, he can't get his father's love in the world, he will only endure hardship, after all, long pain is better than short pain - after a while, I will ask someone to send five thousand taels of silver tickets!"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud slap fell heavily on Zhao Defang's handsome left face, leaving a slender palm print on his five fingers. Gu Xue choked back her tears, threw the thousand taels on the ground, and then rushed out of the door.

He was silent, this was the first time he had been beaten by a woman, and most likely the last. His eyes moistened, staring at the back of the woman's resolute departure and disappearing into the lost eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, angrily picked up the thousand taels of silver tickets that fell under his feet, tore them to smash them with all his might, threw them on the top of his head, and then slapped him the right cheek, and a proud heart was instantly crushed.

It is true that it is the most ruthless emperor's family, but even if it is frivolous and injects affectionate love for the first time, it is never possible to get away with it lightly.

After this time, they did not see each other again, and the snow in the valley melted in the spring season of March.

Because, there was no woman named Gu Xue in Yanmen Mountain, but there was once a Khitan girl who was proficient in Chinese and ancient and modern. Even many years later, the man who once fell in love didn't know that her real name was Ji Yue, and she was the virtuous concubine of Li Bingchang, the second son of Li Zongye, the second son, who was the name of Mu Yunfan's Western Xia.

It turned out that after leaving Yanmen Mountain sadly, Ji Yue also felt shameless to face her father, and after several plans, she still resolutely decided to leave the Khitan and give birth to a child alone, and then ask her father for guilt. On the road to making a living, she was recommended to work as a pianist in the house of Li Bingchang, then the king of the Western Xia and Jin Dynasty, because she was proficient in music and Chinese, and taught her 11-year-old eldest son Li Qianshun to be a pianist.

is over 40 years old and has just suffered the pain of losing his wife, Li Bingchang has a good impression of the woman in front of him who does not apply powder, but is like the morning glow reflecting the snow, and the turn around and walk like a willow and a gentle woman.

Because the person in power is the Empress Dowager's maternal relatives Liang Yi buried, dictatorial Western Xia, brutal by nature, bloodthirsty addiction, often drunk when he is drunk, the royal family has repeatedly fought for imperial power, the upper echelons are unstable, political turmoil, Li Bingchang also lives a precarious life, worried about the future, often wakes up in the middle of the night, and secretly saddened himself in insomnia.

Ji Yue's cooking skills are still good, grateful to Li Bingchang's affection, often stay up late to decoction longan pig heart soup, glutinous rice and lily porridge and other calming and soothing food sent to the bed, come and go, the two gradually get acquainted, and the opportunities for leisure contact increase.

Li Bingchang lacked a pillow man around him, and Ji Yue's gentleness and intelligence quickly infected him, so that after a week, he had to eat soup every day before going to bed, and insomnia called Xiao Bingzhu to talk. Ji Yue took the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms and the anecdotes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms as a lesson to analyze the political situation.

Ji Yue thought of his own situation, instead of thinking about a man he loved deeply but was heartless, it was better to rely on a big tree to shelter him from the wind and rain. She began to re-examine her life and that of the fetus in her womb, under the weighing of interests, the selfish desires in her heart began to brew, and it was fate that she could not be born rich and noble and stay with her lover, but there was a good opportunity in front of her, so that the fate of the fetus in her womb was in her own hands......

She may love that man too much and want to create the best quality of life for her children as much as possible, she may love herself too much and is unwilling to endure hardships in the midst of displacement, and she may suddenly wake up to the reputation of a woman who has not left the court, especially for a woman who is full of Confucian poetry and books, reputation is often "life......

Therefore, while carefully concealing that she was pregnant, she also calculated her scheming and did what she liked, and suddenly became another person, and soon completely conquered the lonely heart of a middle-aged man with her snow-like skin and body.

In the end, Li Bingchang accurately judged the timing, and Heren killed the tyrant while his relative Liang Yi was asleep, and was supported as the king of Huizong of Western Xia. Soon after ascending the throne, he married the beloved Ji Yue, and gave great hope to the child in his womb and named him "Li Zongye".

Sure enough, Li Zongye lived up to expectations, young and intelligent, sensitive and studious, the family collection of books is very rich, often indulged in it, at the age of five he can write and write, at the age of seven riding a horse and archery, at the age of thirteen he talked about the world, and at the age of fifteen became the youngest brave warrior in Western Xia.
