The first time I saw Huifanara Shushen was on a spring afternoon. Aixinjueluo Hongzhou couldn't stand Erniang's nagging about Huang Ama's intention to pass the throne to Hongli, so he found an excuse and took the servant escaped from the Forbidden City.

The sky outside the Forbidden City is so vast and lonely, as blue as if a painter accidentally knocked over the paint, the narrow streets without red walls and bright tiles are full of people, the cries of vendors, the quarrels of women, the neighing of donkeys and horses The sound... is endless.

Looking at this vibrant world, Hong Zhou actually likes everything he sees and wants to buy everything he sees.

Huang Ama wants to give the throne to Hongli, so let's give the throne to Hongli!

When Huang Fama was still there, Hongli was Huang Fama's favorite grandson. After Huang Ama came to the throne, he became the son of Huang Ama's favorite concubine Xi. The Fucha clan with both ability and virtue...

The more Hongli thought about it, the more he felt that the throne had nothing to do with him. When he recovered, he was separated from his followers and lost his way.

Then, he met the fate of Jie.

The girl was standing beside a blooming peach blossom at the entrance of the alley, her beautiful face was not peerless, but it made Hong Zhou feel as if he had been shot by a sharp arrow, his footing was unstable and he was on the verge of falling.

The girl also noticed Hong Zhou, and walked slowly accompanied by the servant girl.

She is still young and not tall enough. She is wearing a light green flag dress, with layers of flowers and leaves embroidered with silver thread and green silk on the piping, and pearls as small as rice grains on the cloud shoulders. The flowing light of the rutabaga pearl, coupled with the clash of the jade pendant and the bell, actually made the flowers and trees behind her like clouds lose their color, leaving only her freshness and refinement in the world.

Which family's daughter is she?Has it already been promised?

Hong Zhou thought to himself, intending to ask about the girl's family background, so that Huang Ama could give them a marriage.

However, although Hong Zhou was eloquent on weekdays, when he met the person he liked, he was in a daze for some reason, his face flushed, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

The boy's embarrassment made the girl laugh out loud, her smile as gentle as spring water.

"Is little brother lost?"

The girl's voice is as memorable as her face.

Hong Zhou, who originally wanted to show his identity to make the girl admire him, became more and more embarrassed and at a loss. He stared at her blankly. Although it was the first time they met, it seemed like they had been waiting for countless years to meet again.

In the spring breeze, her eyes sparkled, carrying the dampness of misty rain, making his whole body and mind sink.

……

……

It was eight years after Aixinjueluo Hongzhou saw Huifanara Shushen again.

At that time, he was 26 years old and she was 22 years old.

Six years ago, 16-year-old Huifanara Shushen was married to Aixinjueluo Hongli, who was Prince Bao at the time, as a side Fujin. Li's mocking eyes filled with concern, got drunk early and passed out.

Afterwards, Huang Ama passed away, the emperor's brother succeeded to the throne, and the women in the hidden mansion moved into the Forbidden City one after another. Hong Zhou simply stayed in the Prince He's Mansion and became a ridiculous and incompetent dude prince.

until--

ding dong...

ding dong...

The voice that has been dreaming for many years sounded again.

In Shoukang Palace, Hongzhou raised his eyes, saw the person he dreamed of, and also saw despair.

how so!

Why is this the result!

The woman raised her head and said softly, "And the Prince."

Hongzhou's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of ice, and when he looked at the face of the person in front of him, he was so far away.

The nurse once said that when you meet someone you will love for a lifetime, you must have a special feeling.

From the first moment he saw her, Hong Zhou felt the urgency that gripped his heart.She made him like a fish out of water, like a bird falling into the water, looking into her eyes, he felt that he was going to die, but he couldn't bear to move away.

Before her, after her, there was no one who could make Hong Zhou fall in love with her so much that he wanted to give up his soul...

However, this was a complete crime, and she was someone he would never be able to touch even if he was a prince...

……

……

Looking back on the past, Hong Zhou, who was already the prime minister, felt it was funny, raised his head, and said to the queen mother who was teasing the parrot behind her back, "Did the queen mother ever regret meeting me back then?"

"If I can go back to the past and never meet you again if I regret meeting you, then I would rather I never existed."

The Empress Dowager turned around and looked at Hong Zhou with a smile—in the blink of an eye in 30 years, they all had gray hair, but the light in their eyes remained unchanged.

"I really wished that I never existed," Hong Zhou said slowly, "In this way, I don't have to bear the responsibility of the royal family, and I don't have to be Prince He in the eyes of the world."

"But you still exist, and so do I."

The queen mother said softly, and when her fingers were about to touch the back of Hongzhou's hand, the fifth princess and Yi suddenly appeared in front of the two of them in military uniform with their prey in their hands.

"Emperor Niang, Fifth Emperor Uncle, He Yi and the emperor brothers went hunting in the Western Mountains, and found a fox, and returned to the palace to present it to Empress Empress!"

"He Yi is really a smart child."

The queen mother smiled and motioned for Baoxin to go forward and take the prey.

He Yi also took the initiative to hand the prey to Ji Xin, walked up to the Queen Mother, and asked: "Emperor Niang, this time He Yi went hunting with the imperial brothers to Xishan, and heard the imperial brothers discussing the women's imperial examination, what's going on? What? Is the imperial brother really going to hold the women's imperial examination?"

"He Yi asked why?"

The Queen Mother asked knowingly.

Xin Xin said with a smile: "Ma'am, I'm afraid the fifth princess wants to take part in the women's imperial examination in disguise!"

"Auntie Xinxin..."

He Yi smiled embarrassedly.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Heyi, to take part in the women's imperial examination, you must first pass the provincial and general examinations to obtain the quota for tributes. Do you have a quota for tributes?"

"No...but Heyi can...can..."

He Yi lowered his head guiltily.

Seeing this, Hong Zhou said, "Empress Dowager, if He Yi really wants to take part in the women's imperial examination, Hong Zhou may have a way to get her a place as a tribute student. It's just that the matter of impersonation is no small matter. If the Dong Chuang incident happens—"

"If the Dong Chuang incident happens, He Yi is willing to bear it alone!"

He Yi hurriedly made a promise.

The Empress Dowager's face was still cold.

Hong Zhou could only laugh, and said: "He Yi, you are the princess of the royal family, how can you be so unscrupulous, not like a princess, but like—"

"There is a saying that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Is it because He Yi has become like this because she is by your side all day long?"

The queen mother sneered.

He Yi was eager to obtain the quota of tribute students through Hong Zhou, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly surrounded Hong Zhou to show his courtesy: "Uncle Wu, don't listen to Er Niang's nonsense, she actually likes me like this in her heart, and He Yi's imperial brothers also like me." I think it’s good for He Yi.”

"Good is good, but there are really no rules!"

The queen mother was left speechless by her daughter, so she could only give up.

Prince He also showed a doting smile, and said, "It's really good for He Yi to do this, very good."

After He Yi left, Prince He asked the Queen Mother: "Does the Queen Mother have any plans for He Yi's marriage?"

"The royal princess's marriage has always been tied to national interests, but I still hope that He Yi can be different from other princesses and have a forehead who is truly loved and loved. No matter whether he is beautiful or ugly Whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, even if it is an illiterate farmer, as long as He Yi is happy when he is with him, this palace will not object to this marriage."

"why?"

"The day I was pregnant with her, I had a dream, a very beautiful dream..."

The queen mother said softly: "She was born because of that dream, and all my expectations are placed on her."

"Dream?!"

Hearing this, Prince He was inexplicably startled, his heart was surging, and he couldn't help but think of the dream that had long been blurred.

It was an unreal dream that happened many years ago, but every time I think about it, it is always as clear as yesterday.

The dream is hazy and moist, warm enough to make people inexplicably think of Yaniao film, smoky and full of gardenia, she lies peacefully in the depths of the low-hanging veil, her skin is sweetly dizzy.

He knelt in front of her like a pilgrimage, kissing her fingertips inch by inch, delicately and carefully.

He sucked his breath greedily, but he didn't dare to call her name. He tried his best to treat her as gently as possible, for fear that a little force would wake her up.

The most cherished thing in his life is between his fingers, but at the same time he got it, he also felt a deeper despair.

This is a dream, a dream that must be buried deep in the soul forever, a dream that must be forgotten immediately after waking up, but he always thinks of that dream, and remembers every trace of false warmth in the dream, and forced to forget A fiery embrace of reality.

However, the dream was just a dream after all. When I woke up from the dream, my palm was only cold. When I thought about it, I felt that my soul was also rotting in the darkness...

Hong Zhou recalled with sentimentality, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a faint light in the Empress Dowager's eyes.

So he walked to the side of the queen mother, looked at the spring in the garden, and said to himself as if:

"A long, long time ago, a young man lost his way in the alley. When he looked up to ask for directions, he met the girl he loved the most in his life under the peach blossom tree. The young man was timid for a while, and he didn't dare to ask the girl's name. , The girl married his fourth brother. The young man can only bury this feeling in his heart, secretly looking at the girl he loves every day, thinking, can she still remember the lost me?"

"The girl has never forgotten the lost young man, but she is the same as the young man, she cannot decide her own marriage."

The Queen Mother spoke softly.

"If there is an afterlife, what kind of husband will the Empress Dowager choose?"

The momentary uncontrollable emotion made Hong Zhou blurt out.

The Queen Mother did not answer immediately.

She took a plate of bait from the court lady and said while feeding the fish: "If there is an afterlife, I want to be born in a world where I can choose the person I like, so that I can stay with the person I like... Of course, If the person I like likes someone else, I am willing to stand aside quietly and wish him a happy ending with the person he loves so much.”

"Is it possible for this king to become that person?"

Hong Zhou asked softly.

The Queen Mother did not answer, but smiled.

Hong Zhou knew why she was silent.

He asked a question that could never be answered.

The queen mother was obviously also touched by Hong Zhou's words.

After putting down the bait, she and Hong Zhou strolled through the colorful peach grove, and picked off a peach blossom at random, and handed it to Hong Zhou: "I hope we can work together to create a new world where our next generation can choose who they like as they please... ..."

"Our next generation..."

"Yes, our next generation."

While sighing, the palace servants came to report that the envoys from the Western countries of Portugal, Spain, and England are gathering in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this moment. They would like to ask the Qing emperor to send troops to America at the expense of many places in North America and South America to ensure the safety and stability of the American continent. , the emperor hopes that the queen mother can participate in this matter.

——The popularity of firearms allowed the Qing Dynasty to consolidate its absolute position in Asia in a very short period of time. It not only regained the northern territory ceded to Russia by the "Treaty of Nerchinsk", but also occupied most of the country including Sri Lanka The South Asian subcontinent expanded westward by the way, cutting off half of the aging Ottoman Empire, and the Turkish Strait connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean became the border between the Ottoman Empire and the Qing Empire.So far, the three directions of the empire, south, north, and north, have been greatly expanded. Only the east cannot advance because of the vast sea, but it has also realized the existence of North America and South America through contacts with many European countries.

The Empress Dowager has always been very interested in the Wanli Plain in America, upon hearing this, she wants to invite the Prince to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

And the prince readily agreed.

Before leaving, looking at the peach blossoms, the Empress Dowager suddenly said: "Heyi's 'yi' means getting everything right."

"Get what you want..."

When Hongzhou heard the words, he couldn't help being startled, and said slowly: "So that's how it is."

"No, that's how it should be."

While laughing, the queen mother walked away lightly.

Her figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the flower tree, but Hong Zhou felt inexplicably joyful.

As it should be.

Originally...should...like...this...

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but when I looked back suddenly, the man was dimly lit...
