The beauty is delicate and soft, and he madly criticizes the powerful officials for taking her as th

But her brother had only one chance to die, and she had no soldiers, no power, no His Majesty's trust, and no way to start.

Queen Qiao called her to the Jiaofang Palace on the seventh day of the prince's first year, and sighed: "Zhen'er, every time your father sees me, he thinks of his most humiliating days."

During the ten years when they were alone together, Queen Qiao understood her husband's nature.

"Only when I die can he remember something better." She picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. She looked at the numb girl in front of her and murmured in a low voice: "Good boy, when your father comes, remember Want to cry."

“The louder you cry, the more you might get.”

Zhao Zhen was very obedient. As soon as the emperor stepped into the Jiaofang Hall, he saw his daughter who was crying until she lost strength.

He finally remembered the vows he made to his wife, and the past of mutual affection.

The emperor, still smelling of alcohol, hugged the girl and said, "Zhen'er, it's my father who can't help you."

Zhao Zhen choked up and said, "Father, you are the only relative I have."

This was a pitiful thing to say, so the emperor selected a day to leapfrog her rank and confer her the title of eldest princess of Chengyang, allowing her to support her retainers.

She left the East Palace and moved to the Princess Mansion near Weiyang Palace, occasionally returning to Chunshan Palace for a short stay.

Every time the princess in plain clothes entered the palace, the maids beside her were extremely beautiful, which made the emperor's eyes shine.

The emperor would always keep his maids in the palace for two or three days. Out of his trust in his daughter, he was particularly relaxed about his diet.

Zhao Zhen looked at his father's seemingly rosy face with a smile on his face, but after returning to the princess's house, he looked like a wooden doll.

She often brought her only sister Zhao Qing to stay at the Princess Mansion. Zhao Qing loved to go to the East Palace to pester her before, and he still does now.

"Sister, where is the brother next to you?"

"Which one?"

"That tall, good-looking brother."

Zhao Zhen came back to his senses and realized that she was talking about Pei Xu. He smiled and said, "He went out to fight and will be back soon."

Her brother and mother were gone, as if fate deliberately deprived her of those close to her. Zhao Zhen often had nightmares at night, dreaming that her brother asked her not to eat sweets, and dreaming that her mother asked her to cry louder.

I dreamed that Pei Xu died on the battlefield.

When I woke up, the pillow cover was soaked with tears.

Something big happened in the court, and Pei Xu heard about it on the front line. He was afraid that Zhao Zhen would not be able to think about it, so he wrote thirteen letters and sent them back to the capital. However, the journey was far away and the world was chaotic. When Zhao Zhen got it, only three letters were left.

She slept with these three letters at night.

More than a year later, Pei Xu came back, with scars all over his body under his silver armor.

He was worshiped as Grand Sima, ranking above the Three Dukes. He stood in front of the emperor and said calmly: "I wish to marry the eldest princess of Chengyang."

The emperor was so happy that a minister who seemed to be a threat to the court took the initiative to honor the princess. He even forgot that Zhao Zhen was in the period of filial piety, and even needed Pei Xu to remind him.

The wedding date is set for two years.

On his first night back in Beijing, he walked into Zhao Zhen's yard and was stunned for a moment when he saw her.

She has lost a lot of weight and is much quieter.

Zhao Zhen was sitting there alone before, watching the ants on the ground with amusement, laughing there, and talking for a long time when he saw him.

"Zhen'er, I've made you suffer alone."

He walked up to her and stretched out his arms to hug the person in front of him.

When Zhao Zhen saw him coming, all the blood in his body froze. The vague pain in his heart that had been deliberately avoided suddenly became clear. He buried his head in his chest and cried bitterly.

When she spoke, she was confused and confused, but Pei Xu understood everything.

The pair of almond-shaped eyes immersed in the water looked at him. After a long while, Zhao Zhen finally bit his ear and murmured: "What should I do? I have committed a serious crime. Killing my father and regicide is a heinous crime."

"He does deserve to die." Pei Xu lowered his eyes, "Go ahead and do whatever you want. If it doesn't work, I'll take care of it for you."

"How can you tell the truth?"

"Rebellion with you."

Zhao Zhen laughed until her peach blossom face turned as crimson as clouds. When her laughter suddenly stopped, she lowered her head and bit his lip so hard that she could taste blood on the tip of her tongue.

"My father allowed me to raise retainers. I raised a few young and handsome ones, and he was very satisfied."

The person in front of me looked somewhere between a boy and a young man. Hearing this, his expression changed slightly. He stared at her loose clothes with phoenix eyes and said with some displeasure, "Who is there?"

They are all the prince's people.

"Brother left a mark on me."

She sat on his lap, took off her shirt, and showed her fiancé the traces on her waist.

Zhao Zhen felt that she was crazy, but she had no intention of stopping at all.

The suppressed intense pain was suddenly released, leaving people at a loss. She now felt that she was a cloud, and so was Pei Xu. As long as they stayed close to each other and entangled with each other, they could become one.

Turn into a white and soft cloud in the sky, go wherever you want.

She was lying on the couch, feeling like she was being split in half. The physical pain was diluted by the psychological relief. She was like self-abuse. After tears came out, she choked in the ear of the helpless man: "Deeper." .”

If it wasn't painful, it would feel unreal. The two people who were close together on the couch hugged each other quietly for a moment, as if they were comforting each other by licking each other.

At dawn, Pei Xu pressed his fingers against her red lips and said helplessly: "It's swollen like this, we can't continue."

When Zhao Zhen's legs moved, the pain was severe. One of them was too big and the other was too small. It was like torture for the first time. Her breathing was a little low. She held his hand and said, "Why am I not dead? My brother and mother are both dead." , but I live so comfortably."

"I should die with them, but I want revenge. I still have my grandfather, and I still have you, but I shouldn't live so comfortably without any physical pain." Her eyes were distracted, "Rather than let others It’s better to let you do the torture.”

Pei Xu felt heartbroken when he saw her like this, but Yun Yu was judged as torture for the first time, which made him feel complicated.

He went to get the ointment, applied it to her with a finger-sized jade pestle, and finally went to the couch to hold her.

Pei Xu didn't care about the eyes of others, so he moved into the princess mansion and slept with Zhao Zhen every night.

With him here, the emperor only regarded the scholars who came in and out of the princess's house as the Pei family's disciples, and had no idea that his daughter was winning people's hearts.

Zhao Zhen was having a detailed discussion with his staff in the east yard, while Pei Xu was sitting leisurely in the corner alone, coaxing the young Zhao Qing to call him brother-in-law.

Calling brother-in-law and giving him a piece of candy, Zhao Qing gained weight twice in just one year.

On the wedding night, Zhao Zhen sat on the couch and smiled at him, "Why did you drink so much?"

"Because I'm happy." The man in happy clothes smiled with phoenix eyes, "Zhen'er has to treat me better tonight."

The old princess of the East Palace was polite and virtuous, and she had the style of a prince of Zhaoming. Only Pei Xu knew how bad the person in front of him was on the couch.

Zhao Zhen may be born in the year of the dog, and he likes to leave marks on his body. The more conspicuous the better. He doesn't know how many times he has to explain the string of red spots on his neck.

After the wedding, it was the emperor's birthday. Zhao Zhen specially prepared beauties to dance for the emperor. She was so careful that she even rehearsed the dance herself.

Pei Xu had a complicated look on his face as he watched the young dead men do something inside the curtain and turn into lively beauties when they came out.

The Qiao family in Yizhou is worthy of being the head of the Jingyi clan, with many capable people under his command.

During the first half of the month to celebrate the emperor's birthday, Zhao Zhen lived in Chunshan Palace for this dance.

Pei Xu couldn't help but come to her and saw a folding fan with plum blossoms in her hand, and asked curiously: "Is this for dancing?"

"Of course, you haven't seen it?"

He immediately said: "Of course not, I never watch these songs and dances."

Zhao Zhen laughed and danced in front of him for a while. There was a bump on the handle of the folding fan that could be bitten with his mouth. When dancing, the plum blossom fan covered his face. Finally, his waist was slightly folded, his bun was loose, and his black hair was like a waterfall. She suddenly put away her fan, revealing a beautiful face behind her.

"looks good?"

Pei Xu was stunned for a long time. It wasn't until she asked again that he nodded and said, "It looks good."

Zhao Zhen sighed slightly, shook his head and said: "Like a stupid goose, you can only say two words to praise others."

With a smile in her almond-shaped eyes, she touched his face and said, "Fortunately, Pei Langsheng is handsome. This princess plans to pamper you alone in this life, so why don't you thank me quickly?"

*

The emperor really liked the beauty presented by Zhao Zhen, and immediately ordered the dancer to be sent to the palace to wait. At night, the emperor died from the wind on his horse.

No one could say anything about Zhao Zhen, because the emperor drank medicine that night and summoned other beauties to sleep with him.

Pei's men and the dead soldiers of the Princess Mansion surrounded Weiyang Palace, and Zhao Zhen chose his soft-hearted and cowardly second brother as a puppet.

The imperial court became the object of the eldest princess Chengyang and the chief minister. When they were dividing official positions among their subordinates, the two had a dispute for the first time.

Zhao Zhen looked at the man in front of him with calm eyes and said softly: "Mingze, there are rumors among the people recently that Pei and Zhao share the world."

"Dazhou belongs to the Zhao family and we will not share it with anyone." She lowered her eyelashes, "Second brother told me that your cousin came to the palace yesterday to ask for an audience and was very disrespectful to him. In his words, he wanted the position of governor of Yuzhou. "

Zhao Zhen's tone finally changed, "You are now the Grand Sima, and concurrently serve as the governor of Qingzhou. Your uncle is the governor of Yanzhou, not to mention Liangzhou. You have three of the nine northern states, and you still want Yuzhou?"

Pei Xu was silent for a long time. Zhao Zhen started avoiding him when discussing with the staff a year ago. She did not allow him to stay for a long time in Chunshan Palace.

He didn't want to displease Zhao Zhen, but as the head of the Pei family, he had defended the eldest princess's subordinates several times, which had already made the clan members unhappy.

What Yanzhou Pei wanted was never to share the world.

Ren Zhaozhen never imagined that Pei was so bold that he had been thinking about the throne for decades.

Pei Xu raised his eyes, looked directly at her and said, "I swear to you, Yanzhou Pei Xu, I will only be a minister of Zhou forever."

His throat was choked and he whispered: "Tomorrow, I will make this promise in front of all the officials and resign as the governor of Qingzhou."

"No need, I always believe in you." Zhao Zhen stared at those phoenix eyes, "Instead of giving it to other members of the Pei family, Qingzhou might as well give it to you."

He froze on the spot, his throat moved slightly, and he suddenly held her hand and asked: "When did you know about it? Can I still sleep here tonight?"

"You are my husband. If you don't sleep here, where do you want to sleep?" Zhao Zhen said in a faint tone.

In the middle of the night, she suddenly said: "Can you suppress those people?"

"can."

"You have the power, but you don't want to move?" Zhao Zhen suddenly pressed on him, "Did anyone under your command advise you to kill your wife?"

"Yes." Pei Xu's throat moved slightly, "The one who was intercepted and killed by horse bandits a few days ago."

Zhao Zhen laughed suddenly, held his face and said, "Someone here also advised me to kill my husband, but Yu Xin scolded me away. Tsk, his scolding was so unpleasant that I couldn't bear to listen."

"Yu Xin? The one who has been called a child prodigy since he was a child?"

Pei Xu was deeply impressed by the fourteen-year-old boy. Because he was so good-looking, he was often mistaken for a woman, so he wore a curtain in and out of the princess's house.

"It's him."

Zhao Zhen spoke with some pride. Yu Xin came to her and recommended himself. He did not want an official position or reputation. He only said: "The peaceful and prosperous age I want can only be given by Prince Zhaoming and His Highness. I only wish to assist His Highness."

No one can refuse such words, not to mention that Yu Xin is indeed talented.

Only Pei Xu always thinks that every time he sees him, his nose is not a nose, his eyes are not eyes, and he looks like a pretty boy.

Zhao Zhen gently patted the man's face with his hand, and suddenly smiled and said: "Pei Lang, what should we do now? People say that our husband and wife are not on good terms and are unrelenting enemies."
