The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

When the people had tacitly accepted the contents of the history books, the empress dowager issued an imperial decree to announce it to the world.

At the same time, Nie Huaiqing returned safely and took out the second half of the history book.

"A goddess descended from heaven, named Qing Hong. She slays evil spirits and protects our dynasty..."

Children playing on the streets sang nursery rhymes compiled from history books, and the achievements of the founding emperor were praised by everyone.

A pavilion for resting outside the city.

Helan Jie bowed his head with a smile: "The princess is both talented and beautiful, but she is not suitable to be a king."

Xie Zhenzhi frowned and her eyes darkened: "This princess remembers that someone once swore to help this princess fulfill her wish."

"Is the princess's wish really to be the supreme ruler? Isn't it to divorce Marquis Xuanping and regain her freedom?" Helan Jie looked at him frankly, "Princess, you have no chance of winning at this point. Why not set an example for all women in the world and leave your name in history?"

Xie Zhenzhi remained silent. She was married by the emperor's order, and for the sake of respecting her elders, she refused to issue an order to anyone who came to power.

But if someone is willing to give her that imperial decree, she wouldn't mind being a princess enjoying wealth and splendor...

Helan Jie stood up and invited him: "I heard that the hot springs in the manor are good. Princess, are you willing to come and have a look?"

Xie Zhenzhi stood up and said, "Lead the way."

The two went to the villa to take a hot spring bath.

In the dead of night, Helan Jie knocked on the door.

Xie Zhenzhi opened the door: "I thought you didn't dare to come."

Helan just smiled and said nothing. He went into the house, closed the door, and did not come out all night.

grassland.

The breeze blew, and Shangguan Sitong laughed loudly while riding his horse.

After leaving Beijing for many years, she finally found the future she wanted when she came to the grassland.

"The merchants from the Yunhong Dynasty have arrived."

The handsome man beside him reined in his horse: "Got it, I'll be right there."

Shangguan Sitong dismounted gracefully and followed the man into the tent to meet the guest.

The man was dressed in men's clothes and turned around and smiled.

Shangguan Sitong's eyes were moist and he ran up to hug her.

The man frowned slightly, looking displeased.

The person being hugged was first surprised, then delighted: "Second sister."

Shangguan Yunshu was doing business everywhere wearing men's clothes, and this time he happened to come to the grassland.

The two sisters had endless things to talk about when they met. They walked on the grassland, enjoying the breeze and slowly reminiscing about the past.

Shangguan Sitong turned around and said, "I've been away from home for so long, I don't know how my parents, eldest sister, and fourth brother are doing."

"I haven't been home for a long time and miss my family very much. I plan to go back to Beijing this time. Can my second sister come with me?" Shangguan Yunshu looked expectant.

She wanted her second sister to go with her, but she knew that her wishes had to be respected.

Shangguan Sitong looked around. The sky was high and the sea was vast. She shook her head and said, "Please help me take the letter back to Beijing."

"Okay." Shangguan Yunshu joked with a smile, "Is that my second brother-in-law? He looked so nervous when you brought him over."

Shangguan Sitong tickled the third sister: "Okay. You dare to make fun of me. Is the one following you the third brother-in-law?"

In front of the tent, the two men exchanged a few polite words. They looked at the sisters playing in the distance, and smiled.

Shangguan Yunshu lowered his eyes: "I don't know. I've been out for too long, and some of my feelings seem to have faded."

A close friend who is far away in the capital.

One is always by your side, gentle and considerate.

She didn't understand who her heart cared about more, maybe she would get the answer when she returned to Beijing this time.

Shangguan Sitong changed the subject: "After all these years, my eldest sister and fourth brother should be married. Bring some things back to my nephew, and apologize to my eldest sister for me. I was too willful in the past and did something wrong that cannot be undone. I really know I was wrong."

Holding her sister in her arms, Shangguan Yunshu patted her back to comfort her: "Big sister will forgive you. We are sisters."

Will it? But how can she forgive herself? That dream is becoming clearer and more painful...

Beijing.

When Yang Lanyi learned that her daughter had returned, she hurried over and said, "Let me see you. You've lost weight. You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Shangguan Yunshu, who had not yet changed her clothes, shook her head gently: "I have learned a lot along the way. How are my eldest sister and fourth brother?"

"Okay, everything is fine." Yang Lanyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You are back. I wonder where your second sister is."

"Mother, I met my second sister on the grassland. She asked me to bring back some local specialties and letters from home." Shangguan Yunshu ordered people to bring the things in and took out the letters from home.

Yang Lanyi took it excitedly and couldn't help crying after reading it.

Shangguan Yunshu comforted him softly.

After the mother and daughter exchanged greetings, she returned to her room to change her clothes. She hadn't worn women's clothes for a long time, so she was still a little uncomfortable.

When we arrived at the living room, the man who was going home with me looked surprised.

Shangguan Yunshu smiled slightly: "Mother, where are my eldest sister and fourth brother? Why aren't they in the mansion?"

Seeing the ambiguity between her daughter and the man, Yang Lanyi couldn't stop smiling: "Your elder sister has moved out of her house. I'll have someone take you there. Your younger brother has found a job and hasn't come home yet. I'll have someone tell him to go home and have a reunion dinner tonight."

Don’t live in a mansion anymore… The rumors are true.

Shangguan Yunshu went to look for her elder sister and was stunned when she saw the mansion with carved beams and painted rafters.

Was the standard too high? Walking down the corridor, she heard children's voices in the distance.

"Mom, is Wu'er doing a great job?"

The delicate and pretty little girl looked up and asked for praise.

Shangguan Haitong smiled and touched the child's head: "Great, very great. Come, mother, hug you."

Xie Lanwu opened his arms obediently.

Shangguan Haitong picked up the child and kissed her. Her daughter was so lovable.

"I want one too." Seeing this, Xie Qiuguang on the side immediately moved his face closer.

Shangguan Haitong smiled helplessly: "Why are you arguing with your own daughter?"

Xie Lanwu was very considerate. She kissed Xie Qiuguang on the cheek and then kissed Shangguan Haitong.

Xie Qiuguang was delighted: "Wu'er still loves Daddy. Your mother only cares about official business every day and ignores Daddy."

Shangguan Yunshu was standing not far away, not knowing whether he should go over or not.

Catching a glimpse of someone, Shangguan Haitong turned around with great surprise: "Third sister?"

Shangguan Yunshu stepped forward with a smile and bowed: "Prince Regent, elder sister."

Xie Lanwu's big eyes were full of curiosity.

Shangguan Haitong introduced: "My daughter, Xie Lanwu."

"She's really pretty." Shangguan Yunshu's eyes were full of admiration. I haven't heard about my eldest sister getting married, so I guess...

"You guys chat, I'll take my daughter out to play." Xie Qiuguang took over and carried his daughter away to play aside.

Shangguan Haitong looked him up and down and said, "Your temperament is completely different. Are you still leaving after coming back?"

Nodding, Shangguan Yunshu took out the letter from her second sister: "I met her on the grassland, and she asked me to say sorry to you. She is living a good life and has found her own happiness. She likes life on the grassland very much, and I don't think she will come back."

Shangguan Haitong nodded, took the letter and opened it. The letter apologized with shame and talked about the heart-wrenching dream.

She closed the letter and sighed softly: "If my mother knew, she would definitely cry."

"Mother already knows. I went home first, and didn't see my elder sister, so I came here." Shangguan Yunshu looked at the father and daughter playing, and smiled unconsciously, "Knowing that my elder sister is doing well, I feel relieved. The situation in the capital is changing rapidly, so my elder sister must be careful."

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "It's just right that you're back. I'll go home tonight and we'll have dinner together."

"Okay." Shangguan Yunshu was happy.

A figure quickly ran across the corridor, stopped not far away and called out foolishly, "Yun Shu."

Shangguan Yunshu turned around and saw Nangong Qi rushing over.

She smiled: "Long time no see."
