return to peace

King Chen was suffering from illness for a long time, but he was still unwilling to release power, which led to a ten-year struggle for the heir apparent in Chen Guo.Now, King Chen has finally passed away, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Whether it is the ministers of the temple or the villagers in the fields, they are all happy in their hearts without saying anything on the face.

Although the new emperor obeyed filial piety, sympathized with the people, and ordered all ceremonies to be simple, he still attracted subjects from all over the world who came to see the new emperor's demeanor.To them, this new emperor is the hope of Chen Guo.

The hundreds of feet of red carpet stretched all the way from the palace gate to the sacrificial hall for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens. People from all over the world gathered on both sides of the road, and the Imperial Forest Army formed a human wall one by one.As soon as the royal carriage drove out of the palace gate, the people on both sides of the road knelt down and shouted "Long live".

Chen Jingxuan was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, a golden crown on his head, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a dignified appearance.Sitting next to him was Xiao Yonghuan, the future queen of the Chen Kingdom, wearing a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, her eyes were slightly lowered, and she was a little worried.

Chen Jingxuan shook her hand, and asked in a low voice: "Is the Queen feeling unwell?"

Xiao Yonghuan's hands trembled slightly, he raised his head and forced a smile: "It's nothing, maybe it's because I didn't rest well yesterday."

"Thank you for your hard work. After the gift is completed, let the imperial physician take a look." Chen Jingxuan patted her hand lightly.

Xiao Yonghuan nodded yes.

During the worship of all the people, the carriage drove to the sacrificial hall, and the emperor and empress got off the carriage hand in hand.Chen Jingxuan's cronies came forward to meet him, and while supporting him, they said something softly, and Chen Jingxuan's face immediately changed.No one else noticed it, but Xiao Yonghuan who was closest to him heard it, and he said, "Ji Fan ran away."

The stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and her tense mood for a day suddenly relaxed, her feet softened involuntarily, and a pair of firm and strong hands supported her.Xiao Yonghuan looked over, it was Chen Jingxuan.She couldn't help feeling a little guilty, Chen Jingxuan was her husband, he had treated her well since they got married, but she did something wrong to him, she lowered her eyes, a little afraid to look at him.

"Are you okay?"

Xiao Yonghuan shook his head.

"Take someone with you and go after them! Inform the people in Guhuo Mountain and get ready."

The chime bell rang, and the auspicious time had come. Chen Jingxuan only had time to say this before he was led up the 99 long white jade steps by the palace servants.He took Xiao Yonghuan's hand and walked step by step towards the supreme position.

Xiao Yonghuan's heart was full of emotions, feeling the warm touch from the palm of her hand, and the solid strength of her fingers, she suddenly remembered that day, in the tranquility of the afternoon, the moment when she and Ji Fan's hands touched each other.That was her lifelong infatuation, it ended before it started, she let go of her only concern in this life, and never saw each other again; she betrayed her husband who raised the case, and she will never be forgiven, she ruined her life.But she couldn't help it, she couldn't bear to see Ji Fan down to this point, couldn't bear to see his pride and dignity crumbled to pieces, that was the person she put on top of her heart, she couldn't bear it, and wouldn't allow others to hurt him.Now, her husband is holding her hand and promising her honor for the rest of her life, but her heart aches unbearably. She thinks that Ji Fan may never know that she loves him so madly, and she will never know. The first time they met was not at her grandfather's banquet, but at a Lantern Festival.

That year, when she was only fourteen, she disguised herself as a man and slipped out with a maidservant to visit lanterns.There were too many people, and she was scattered.When she was anxiously looking for a companion, a coquettish young woman saw her disguise as a man. She didn't know that kind of coquettishness was Fengchenqi.She lied to her and took her to find her companion, but quietly led her into a secluded alley. When she saw two big men in the alley, her fear reached the extreme, and she screamed immediately She turned around and ran away, but someone grabbed her clothes and chopped her down with a knife. At the moment she fell into the darkness, she felt that she might be about to die.

So, when she opened her eyes and saw the plain bed curtain, she sat up abruptly, looked at her body, and found that she had already changed into women's clothes.She felt ashamed for a moment, thinking that she had been defiled.At this time, someone pushed the door and entered, and she looked at it with tears streaming down her face. It was a handsome young man, extremely handsome, with clear and moist eyes.Seeing her crying, he seemed to be taken aback, quickly put down the food in his hand, and asked rather at a loss, "Gu... girl, are you okay?" He buried his head in his knees and cried for a while, and when he finished crying, he looked up and found the boy still standing by the table in embarrassment.At that time, she was inexplicably sure that he was definitely not a bad person, so she asked, sobbing, "Where is this?"

The young man rubbed his nose and said, "This is the Tianyue Inn in the west of the city. Yesterday I just ran into you being tied up and rescued you. I don't know where your home is, so I had to put you in the inn first."

She was suddenly overjoyed, it turned out that she was not defiled, she jumped out of the bed, but found that she was still barefoot, and hid back on the bed in embarrassment.The young man was slightly embarrassed, and half turned around, but the roots of his ears were slightly red.

"Then... Then, who changed my clothes for me?" She asked softly, the girl who had not left the cabinet felt shy.

"Ahem", the young man cleared his throat, his face seemed to be a little red, but he still didn't look at her: "I...your clothes were too dirty yesterday, I want to help you change them, and then...then I found You are a daughter, so I asked the proprietress of the inn to change the clothes for you." She heard him say that her face was also burning.At the end, the boy added: "There are clean shoes and socks beside the bed, you can put them on first."

The feet of a girl who has not left the court can not be shown casually to others. She put on her shoes and socks with a blushing face, and then got out of bed slowly.Only then did the young man look at her, pointed to the food on the table, and said, "I thought you might be hungry, so let's eat some food first." Now she just wanted to go home, so she shook her head.

"Then...then I'll take you home?"

She nodded immediately.

"Then, where is your home?"

For some reason, she didn't really want him to know her real identity, so she mentioned a place across the street from Taiwei's Mansion.The young man nodded, grabbed the small bundle beside the table, and said, "I'll go down first and settle the bill, and you'll come down after packing up."

She nodded, watched him go out, then breathed out a sigh of relief, patted her hot cheeks, looked around, put the jade pendant on the table back up, and went out.When she went down the stairs, the young man was just paying the bills. Looking up at her, he had a very handsome face and a tall and straight figure. She had not seen many young men, but they were all handsome young men from noble families. Erlang, but I have never seen anyone as elegant as him.Under his gaze, her heart beat faster and faster, her face gradually turned red, and her thoughts were scattered. In the end, she twisted her foot and missed the last step.She let out a cry of surprise, but fell into a warm embrace. The clear and masculine breath rushed to her face, and in a split second, it left her again.

"Are you okay?" He asked her up, lifting her up.

At that time, seeing the handsome face in front of her eyes, her heart was beating like thunder, she had no other thoughts at all, and just nodded indiscriminately upon hearing this.

"Then shall we go?"

She nodded again.The young man looked at her, and suddenly chuckled out loud, like the snow that melted in spring, she suddenly became a little crazy.Later, when she recalled, maybe it was her dazed appearance that made him laugh.

After walking a few steps, she found that something was wrong. Every time she took a step, her ankle felt a sharp pain. She touched it secretly and found that it was swollen.At this moment, the young man looked back, and he understood at a glance. He turned back and asked, "Why don't we go to the hospital to see your feet first?" She shook her head, she just wanted to go home, her father and grandpa Must be crazy.

"Then, can you still go?"

She nodded, but as soon as she took a step, she took a "hissy" air-conditioning. The boy immediately supported her, thought for a while and said, "If you don't mind, let me carry you?"

She looked up at him, and seeing that he was serious, she blushed immediately, and said softly, "Thank you then."

That was the first time she was carried by a strange man, she was carrying his little burden, and he was carrying her, she was lying on his back, the tip of her nose was full of his clean and dry smell, and she could still see him when she turned her head With the extremely handsome profile, she felt that she might be doomed at that time, how she wished her home could be thousands of miles away, but within less than a stick of incense, they were standing across the street from Taiwei's Mansion.The young man put her down, raised his hand and gently wiped the thin sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and she handed him back the burden on his shoulders. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you're home, go back quickly. I'll go gone."

She nodded and said softly, "Thank you."

The boy smiled, turned around and left, turned the corner of the street, and was never seen again.She suddenly regretted belatedly and forgot to ask his name, although she knew in her heart that what she got was not necessarily the truth.She limped back home, and became the eldest lady in her boudoir again.However, that boy has become her concern since then, how she hopes to see him again.

Fortunately, God was kind to her. Two years later, on her grandfather's birthday, she saw that boy again. It turned out that he was the adopted son of Prime Minister Wen, Ji Fan.Once again he saves her from embarrassment, but he doesn't seem to remember her anymore.At that time, she was already a young girl of Jiji, and she could not have too close contact with a man, and she never found a chance to tell him that she was the girl he rescued two years ago.

After the age of 16, there was an endless stream of door-to-door marriage proposals, but she was still dissatisfied because she was waiting for that person. She also inquired intentionally or unintentionally, but it seemed that the young general in the prime minister's mansion had no intention of getting married at all.Ji Fan, Ji Fan, these two words became a demon in her heart, she couldn't ask for it, and couldn't forget it.

Three years later, at the Yuquan Street Cherry Blossom Festival, she saw him again. He had grown taller and more handsome, with the maturity of an adult man faintly.She was very happy to see him alone, she thought, she finally had a chance to tell him about the past.But he didn't seem to remember her very much. She didn't know what to say, so she asked in a strange way: "Just now I saw that the young master hangs colorful notes on this cherry blossom tree, but it is also for the sake of his sweetheart?" She had already figured out that Ji Fan would deny it, and then She could continue the topic, but Ji Fan smiled shyly, and he said yes.She felt that the sky was falling, and her unnamed thoughts for so many years turned out to be vain.She watched him leave in a hurry, heartbroken.She turned her head to look for the colored note that he had hung up before. She wanted to see who could win his heart, "Qingqing Zijin, care about my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't say anything? Qingqing Zipei, I think for a long time. Even if I don’t go, Zi Ning won’t come? I’m picking up, I’m in the city gate. I don’t see you in a day, it’s like March.” The lingering, lovesickness, but no signature, she stared blankly, tears streaming full face.

After returning, she cried all night, her love died on that day.Later, when the prince proposed marriage, her father doted on her and never forced her. After so many years, she finally agreed.She buried the former youth deeply in her heart, and since then, she has become a princess and has her own husband.Chen Jingxuan treated her well, and she gradually got used to being a wife.

Later, she accidentally heard that Ji Fan was locked up by the prince.She thought about it, but she still didn't feel at ease. She ran to see him secretly, but saw a scene that broke her heart.Only then did she understand that what she couldn't stand more than him not loving her was his suffering, he was the jewel in her heart, how could she be willing to let him be dusted.She decided to save him, she took the initiative to ask Ying to persuade Ji Fan, but Ji Fan still didn't remember her, he was always like this, time and time again, he didn't remember, only she was remembered.She smiled wryly in her heart, so what if she remembered, she was already married as another woman.She quietly gave him the antidote, and the moment she touched his hands, her heart skipped a beat.Year after year, these days and nights of yearning only intensified. How much she wished to go back to the time when they first met. She could pester him regardless of everything. Maybe it would not end like this.At first she wanted to tell him about the past, but later she missed it, and later, there was no need to talk about it.

She decided to save him, risk everything.She thought, maybe she married the prince because of this moment.Maybe she owed him in her previous life, so in this life, she is destined to repay it all her life.

99 jade steps, the last step is the mother Yi Tianxia.She looked at the majestic and majestic hall in front of her, and turned her head to look at the emperor of Chen country, her husband, who was blinded by the afternoon sun.She rolled down tears, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's me. I let Ji Fan go."
