Four years ago, at the foot of the grassy slope, the surroundings were empty and silent. Tan Zicheng took people back to rescue the soldiers. She was only accompanied by Tan Zihong and the bright moon above her head.

The panic she had never experienced was hard to calm down, and she curled herself up into a ball, trembling uncontrollably.Although Tan Zihong beside her kept stroking her back, he couldn't say words of comfort.

After an unknown period of time, Zhao Wan gradually calmed down a bit, but the too quiet environment made her always a little uneasy. Sensing her thoughts, Tan Zihong started the topic softly.The two people who are not familiar with each other are also lacking in topics, but Zhao Wan gradually became interested in this taciturn boy, and gradually forgot his fear. After chatting for a while, Zhao Wan suddenly proposed that the two exchange a secret.When Tan Zihong was silent, Zhao Wan first revealed her secret.

Although she was young, she was used to watching the concubines scheming and fighting for favor in the harem. All those concubines wanted was the emperor's love.What is love, Zhao Wan doesn't quite understand.But in the huge palace, there is indeed someone who makes her heart flutter. Maybe that throbbing is very green, but in the bottom of the girl's heart, it is something that can be taken out at any time to taste the sweetness.Zhao Wan is no exception, she keeps this sweetness in her heart and regards it as a treasure.

When talking about that person, Zhao Wan's tone was shy. That little guard man pinned her understanding of the word liking.

Tan Zihong listened silently, and Zhao Wan's words were devoted, the previous uneasiness was swept away, and what was left was to share the excitement of the baby with others.

After listening to her with a smile in his eyes, Tan Zihong suddenly had an unprecedented feeling in his heart. He was very envious of Zhao Wan's joy after sharing it with others.People always say that only they know what's in their hearts, but who doesn't want to tell others what's in their hearts?If you can get some sympathy, that is the greatest joy. Even if you can't understand it, it is not a blessing to be listened to.

So, he shared a girl named Ajiao, a person who existed a long time ago but never disappeared.As the story was being told, I didn't want to hide anything anymore, but fortunately, I finished it all at once.As for Zhao Wan, who was completely immersed in the story, when she heard the end, she only felt a thunderclap ringing in her ears. She woke up suddenly and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

He was A Jiao, it was her!

"Ajiao." She finally called out the name, and the person in front of her trembled slightly, and looked at her blankly, and the blankness imprinted in her eyes became distressing.

"You must take good care of yourself. The military is hard work, so don't be brave in everything."

The bewilderment in Tan Zihong's eyes gradually dissipated, he shook his head with a wry smile, and looked down at his hands, which were covered with calluses.She can no longer be an ordinary girl.

"Princess, is the guard all right?"

"He..." Zhao Wan smiled lightly, "He has already married and was promoted to another place. I haven't seen him for two years."

Her tone was flat, she was no longer the shy and young girl four years ago.Seeing this, Tan Zihong felt a little sad for no reason.She stood up and cupped her fists at Zhao Wan.

"Zihong shouldn't stay for a long time, just leave now, princess take care."

"Heh." Zhao Wan also got up, walked in front of her, and reached out to caress her face. Tan Zihong was startled and was about to back away, but was stopped by Zhao Wan, "Ajiao, I also have a nickname, Wanxi , Xi'er."

Tan Zihong looked straight into her eyes, his chest suddenly suffocated for a moment, and he slowly opened his mouth as if obsessed: "Xi'er."

What Tan Zihong didn't know was that her coming to Beijing this time had a special meaning in the eyes of many people.

Her aunt Tan Guiren has never been favored by Zhao Heng, and she has no children under her knees, so she has always been a neglected corner in the palace.But this time Tan Lang made meritorious service, Zhao Heng Longyan was very happy, and by the way, he thought of Tan Guiren.Thinking of these years, although Tan Guiren has not been favored, he is still a sensible person. He has always been a man of duty and does not sway his head. He felt compassion for a moment and waved his hand to offer a big reward.Tan Guiren was rewarded, but he was not arrogant, and his behavior was generous and decent, which made Zhao Heng very pleased.With excitement, she actually raised her status. The most amazing thing was that she was allowed to adopt the fifth prince who lost his mother in the early years as an adopted son!This great favor had to make many people in the Forbidden City use their brains.

He thought that he could return to the Northland after receiving a reward for his father, but unexpectedly, Zhao Heng also gave Tan Lang a house in the capital, so he found a reason for her to stay in the capital.Only now did Tan Zihong understand Zhao Heng's intentions a little bit.The Tan family has climbed too fast, maybe Zhao Heng is not worried at this time, but no matter who she does it to, she needs to go through some tests if she wants to return to the Northland.Thinking of this, she felt relieved, and stayed calmly on the surface, and she stayed there for several months.

Zhao Wan, who lives deep in the palace, has hardly seen Tan Zihong since that time, and she only saw Tan Zihong a few times when she met the fifth prince. Therefore, when she thought about the intention behind these, Tan Zihong's reputation had already spread in the capital. up.

Because of Tan Guiren, Tan Zihong's status has become special among the upper-class children in the capital, and from time to time, various posts will be sent to the mansion, watching flowers and horses, composing poems and hunting, so happy.

The fifth prince has a stubborn temper, and he has always responded to these things, and he would always warmly invite Tan Zihong together.Even though Tan Zihong was not happy, he didn't want to make excuses. Besides, he was fine in Beijing, so he wanted to know about the lives of these noble children.Over time, her fame spread among the upper class of the capital's nobility.

Tan Zihong has never been a modest character, and even seized every opportunity to claim credit. Zhao Wan knew this a long time ago, so she was not surprised when she heard Tan Zihong's name "Bei Di Lang" before Qiushou.However, she never expected that Tan Zihong would be so "brilliant" in Qiushou.

I don't know who proposed to put a leopard in this autumn hunt as the top prize target, Zhao Heng was so excited that he accepted it, King Zhao Zhuo of Thailand even joked that if the top prize winner is unmarried, he will accept it under the knee of the princess.As soon as the news came out, everyone who participated in the autumn hunting tried their best to get the top spot, but more than ten days passed, but no one pulled out the top spot, and even those who had the opportunity to shoot the arrow at the leopard There are very few.From this point of view, Zhao Heng couldn't help sighing, and said to the left and right, is the younger generation now all superficial?

Some children from aristocratic families were dissatisfied, and thinking of Tan Zihong, who was famous in the capital recently, he mentioned this "Bei Di Lang" in a strange way.It was only then that Zhao Heng noticed that Tan Zihong, who came with him, had been complaining of illness for the past few days, so he sent someone to call him.

Tan Zihong said that the reason why he couldn't get sick was very simple, she didn't want to be in the limelight, but now that the limelight came down, she didn't refuse.

Lift the rein and rein in the horse, bend the bow and set the arrow, all in one go.After a moment of silence, a sound of strings led to the applause of the audience.

Zhao Heng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered a reward of a thousand pieces of gold. The King of Thailand looked Tan Zihong up and down, twisted his beard and said with a smile: "How old is the young general, is there a marriage?"

"The minister will be crowned next year, and has not yet married."

King Tai nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "This king said before hunting, if the person who shoots this leopard is not married..."

"Your Majesty!" Tan Zihong suddenly knelt down on his knees and put his head on the ground, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty. I haven't felt unwell recently, so I use this as an excuse to deceive you. It's just that I dare not come to the hunting ground because I am afraid that I will also make a big mistake, but His Majesty has a decree, and the minister cannot disobey it, and now I have committed two crimes, please punish me."

The venue fell silent for a while, Tan Zihong didn't say what the two crimes were, but everyone knew in their hearts.Zhao Heng looked at King Tai's face, his expression remained unchanged, and asked in a deep voice: "How do you know that you are here, so you will definitely win the first prize? If you don't win, isn't your devious thinking ridiculous? "

"I am confident that if you draw your bow, you will get what you want!"

These words fell to the ground with sound. Although Tan Zihong was lying down, he did not conceal the arrogance in these words at all.The people around were in an uproar when they heard it. Talking to the emperor like this was really extremely arrogant. If Zhao Heng didn't like it, he could be punished, and the crime was also said by himself.

For a while, the venue became quiet, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, carefully observing the faces of the superiors, and the emperor's emotions were the most unpredictable.

"What a Beidilang, he has such a tone at such a young age!" After a long time, Zhao Heng finished the sentence word by word, his face still didn't change much, but it made everyone's heart cry. They all twitched following these words.

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Heng flicked his sleeves and grabbed a sword beside him, "My sword, once it is unsheathed, it will see blood." He said, he stood up slowly, walked in front of Tan Zihong, Dingding looked at him for a while, and then at the leopard body being carried up.

"Your father, Tan Lang, made great military exploits when he was the first emperor. When the first emperor was named a general, he was named a third-rank military marquis. However, he did not have any hereditary favor. Now that your father is in charge of the northern border, I feel that I owe him a little."

"Although my father is a general in the North, he guards the territory of the Song Kingdom. It is the greatest favor to share His Majesty's worries."

Zhao Heng laughed, took another two steps, and suddenly raised his hand and drew out his sword. The sound of the sword being unsheathed startled everyone present.Tan Zihong had already straightened up at this moment, but remained motionless, with his head slightly drooping, and his expression remained unchanged.

With a flash of cold light, the sword body sank into the leopard's body.Zhao Heng drew out his sword and laughed loudly.

"Arrows are not in vain, he is a good boy! Come here, pass on my will, Jin Tan Lang is the first-rank Chengxianhou, quasi-hereditary for three generations, Tan Zihong will be the eldest son, and the only gift is the Viscount!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tan Zihong replied loudly, raising his head slightly, his eyes swept slightly, proudly skipping over the stunned people around him.

After the hunt, almost everyone was certain that the Tan family had ushered in the pinnacle of the family, and would definitely become the military's upstart.In this way, more people came to win over Tan Zihong, and marriage was a shortcut that most people liked.

Zhao Wan was surrounded by daughters of aristocratic families, and when they were talking about Tan Zihong at the gathering, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but after being surprised, she became inexplicably sour.As for why it was sour, she couldn't tell.It's just that she vaguely felt that the Tan Zihong in these populations was too strange, and it was not the Tan Zihong she knew at all, not the one she knew, Ajiao.

Before everyone in the capital had figured out how to curry favor with the upstart, in the winter of Ning Zhao's 27th year, a bad news quickly approached the capital from the land in the north, and dropped a thunderbolt in the peaceful capital.

Surprisingly, Zhao Wan soon learned the news.And this news was even more shocking to her. The moment she heard it, it took away her sanity.
