night snow full of clear branches

The first time I met that girl was at Buyeo Mountain Villa.In those few years, my father was seriously ill, and my heart was always cold because of the troubles, and I couldn’t be happy. In that situation, I saw such a beautiful picture:

Apricot blossoms bloom in the courtyard, and the red petals flutter down like butterflies. A seven or eight-year-old girl steps barefoot on the bluestone slab in the garden, counting petals on each foot, feeling very happy.The bluestone slab is slightly cool, but it can't erase the beauty of the spring breeze.

Later, I heard from a maid that it was the third daughter of the current Holy Majesty. Because her mother committed the crime of mutilating concubines, she was demoted to a commoner. She was pregnant at that time, so the third princess grew up among the people.

I was probably happy because of ignorance, that’s what I thought at the time, even if my mother was convicted of a crime, my father didn’t care about it, and I didn’t know anything about it, I could still step on the petals happily.It is true that I am somewhat envious in my heart, probably because I was brainwashed by Mr. Liu's phrase "ignorance is bliss" in my family school since I was a child.

In fact, I didn't know until a long time later that the third princess didn't know everything.

I was about to turn around and ask the maid next to me why that girl was in the villa, but I saw the butler rushing over, saying that the master is dying, and the owner of the villa wants to take the lady there...

The owner mentioned by the housekeeper is my mother Min Zhi. She is the first female owner of Fuyu Mountain Villa in history. The man is far behind.

After being called out by the housekeeper, I also forgot what I wanted to ask, and ran straight to my father's bedroom.

The year my father died, I was seven years old, and my younger brother Jian Min had just learned how to run, so I didn't know what death was.

I often heard my father say to my mother: "It's fine if Qingzhi is a man, but he is not, but he has developed such an absurd and unruly temperament, which is always worrying." This sentence was still with him until his deathbed. My mother was muttering, seeing me running in from the door with the butler, but I never called out the last "Qing Zhi", and then I saw a drop of water slipping from the corner of my mother's eyes, which has never shed tears, it should be tears.

At that time, I had just started to practice the third level of martial arts handed down by my father. Because my father passed away, my mother didn't pay much attention to teaching me. She just asked a few senior brothers and sisters to teach me randomly.

Unexpectedly, I was a talented person who practiced martial arts. Under the leadership of a group of senior brothers and sisters who could not be masters, I gradually revealed my unique martial arts talent.

"Hey, I can only practice martial arts." My mother's words were full of regret, and I was very puzzled. I thought that my mother should be happy to see that I have such a talent, but her reaction was the opposite of what I expected, and it was even worse. a lot.

One day, I heard the old housekeeper say again: "Although the young master is not as talented in martial arts as the young lady, he is more suitable to inherit the great responsibility of the villa!" The mother nodded, obviously, she thought this was reasonable.

In this way, I got rid of the important mission of inheriting the villa at the age of vague understanding, but since then I have embarked on another road of no return.

When I was 11 years old, my mother took me into the palace to meet my younger sister, Concubine Min. Concubine Min admired me when she saw me flying over the eaves and walls, jumping up and down, and said, "I really have the shadow of General Mu back then."

"Really?" Listening to my mother's tone, it seems that she doesn't want me to be like my father.She indulged me, not because of doting, but because she was lazy to discipline, and of course I became more free-wheeling because of this.But all this is very uneducated in the mother's eyes. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frowned and said: "Qingzhi has no rules, no matter how much he teaches, he won't be able to become a lady."

Concubine Min didn't take it seriously, and said: "It would be better for her to be like you, with the villa in hand, and roam the rivers and lakes." Slack, can't take on big responsibilities."

Okay, I admit, I was once again underestimated, and I felt that my mother was eccentric and only cared about nurturing my younger brother, and she didn't like me at all.

Probably when I arrived at the heavily guarded palace where everyone was well-trained, I looked even more uneducated in comparison with my "uneducated" appearance, especially the disgusted look on my mother's face. The concubine said: "Ah Nan, why don't you help me clear the branches."

I vaguely felt that the implication of this sentence was: Ah Nan, help me tidy up the branches, use the method in the palace.In short, I vowed to tame my wild horse.

Seeing Concubine Min's surprised face, Shun's mother whispered something in her ear again, and she agreed with a smile.

Immediately, I heard Concubine Min yelling: "Quickly call some guards to stop Miss Qingzhi!" Why did you stop me?When I turned around, my mother smiled and waved to me and said, "Qing Zhi, be obedient, and I will come to pick you up in a few years."

From what I hear, this means: You have to reform well, if you don’t reform well, then don’t even think about going out of the palace.

What an insidious mother, she actually wanted to leave me alone, I thought about jumping up to the roof, thinking that with my kung fu, it would not be easy to get out of the palace?I didn't pay much attention to the group of guards who knew martial arts, but what I didn't know was that in addition to guards, there were also creatures like masters in the palace.

Woah!I finally failed to escape the clutches of Concubine Min, exhausted and angrily carried back to Concubine Min's palace, shouting "There's a kind of heads-up..."

Several "masters" did not forget to tell Concubine Min before they left: "Miss Qingzhi has such martial arts at such a young age, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to wait for you in the future." Concubine Min was a little happy when she heard this. color.

She came over and pinched my face, and said softly: "Xiao Qingzhi, you can stay and be Si Yong's bodyguard, I promise I will leave you alone, and I will make your life more comfortable than when you were in Fuyu Villa. "

This sentence really hit my heart. Although I was reluctant to part with my mother, I was young and frivolous after all. I didn't know what longing was, so I quickly got used to it.

Concubine Min has a pair of sons and daughters. The eldest daughter is called Si Yong, who is the sixth eldest among the emperor's many children and is named Princess Rongchang.

Si Yong is half a year younger than me, and I get along very well. Out of enthusiasm, I wanted to teach her martial arts, but I didn't think that she was not the material, and in the end she could only learn some three-legged cat kung fu.

"From now on, you should go to school with Si Yong. Although you are good at martial arts, you still need a lot of knowledge and literacy." Concubine Min is like this, hoping that I will become a woman with both civil and military skills. Overestimate me, when it comes to knowledge of books and characters, I am completely inferior to Si Yong.

Although I can't talk about being well-read, compared to many ordinary women, I still read more books, and I always say one sentence: I am a madman from Chu, and Feng Ge laughs at Kong Qiu.

"Do you understand what it means? Tiantian knows how to read nonsense." Si Yong knocked on my head with a copy of "University".

When I heard this, I was not happy, "Why don't I know what it means?"

She chuckled, "Then tell me, what do you mean?" It was love at first sight with this sentence.

Seeing that I had nothing to say, Si Yong had a look of resentment, "I told you to study hard at ordinary times, if you don't listen, look, you don't even know."

I don't like studying very much, especially the two old men who teach in the school. They are extremely pedantic. They talk about self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace.

"Let's go out of the palace later!" I suggested to Si Yong, but she vetoed it because she wanted to hear the "University" taught by the Taifu later, so I had no choice but to go out by myself.

Concubine Min, as she promised, gave me great freedom. For example, I can go out of the palace at any time, but Si Yong and the other princesses need to go through layers of approval. Thinking of this, my heart aches. For a while, I felt refreshed, as expected, I was freer than when I was in Fuyu Mountain Villa, and I didn't even need to report to my mother.

When I was about to reach the gate of the palace, I saw a gorgeously dressed girl stopped, and the guard said, "Princess Zhaoyun, don't make things difficult for us."

The girl known as Princess Zhaoyun said indifferently: "Anyway, I don't care. If you don't let me go out today, I will tell my father that you are contemptuous of me!"

What a vicious girl, looking at her figure, she seems to have been trained, but she didn't fight here, but used such a life-threatening threat, she really has two hands, ahem, she is much calmer than me .

If it were me, I would have started fighting long ago.

I sighed a bit, raised my hand to look at the token in my hand, and felt that I should do good deeds, neither need to embarrass the guards, nor embarrass Princess Zhaoyun.Who told me to be Mu Qingzhi with both civil and military skills? I know that if Si Yong knows my thoughts, he will definitely laugh at me, saying that he is just a half-assed fool.

So, I walked over and showed my token. I often go out of the palace, and I have a very good relationship with the guards. Seeing that I showed my token, I moved out of the way.

I turned my head and said to the guard, "I was supposed to take Princess Zhaoyun out, but I'm late, so I'm sorry." Looking back, I looked at Princess Zhaoyun as if I thought I was the savior, but I didn't greet her. The expected grateful look.

The noble Princess Zhaoyun glanced at me indifferently and then went out of the palace gate.

What a girl who is less educated than me, I am very happy to find this out, who said that princesses and princes are as educated as Si Yong?See, Princess Zhaoyun is not like this.

Si Yong: Your idea is too shameless, not ashamed, but proud.
