true identity

Chapter55

The motherland disappears, history turns into butterflies, and if the stories of the wind and clouds are arranged into a drama, the beautiful and mysterious legend of Princess Jingshu is enough to be passed on from word to mouth and leave a strong mark in the novel.

She is the jewel cherished by Emperor Zhao, the bright moon of Zhao Guo, and the appearance that thousands of women yearn for.

Her appearance is not as dazzling as the sun, nor as flickering as the stars, but as bright as the bright moon, pure white and flawless, yet charming.But she is delicate and not weak, she eats, drinks and dresses exquisitely, and her literature and martial arts are also among the best.In class, he studied under Guo Taifu, a master of Chinese studies with great talents, and learned kendo from Gongsun Shu, who is famous all over the world for Xihe swords.His clerical attainment is comparable to that of a bachelor, and his martial arts and swordsmanship is comparable to that of a martial arts champion. Except for a little headache in numerology, the rest are as good as he knows.

Emperor Zhao once jokingly said: "Daughter, you are the real daughter of the Zhao Kingdom. You don't have to worry about food, drink, and housing. As a princess, even if you want the keel of the West Sea and the phoenix tail of the South Sky, someone will rack their brains to deliver it to you. Why bother?" Does working hard hurt your body?"

Zhao Jingshu, who was only nine years old at that time, replied: "Father, others say that I am your most beloved daughter. I have so many brothers and sisters. Why do you only like me?" Before Emperor Zhao could answer, she said: " As the daughter of my father and the princess of the Zhao Kingdom, I should set an example to let the world know how a princess should be. If I spend my whole day riding horses, playing cuju, and teasing cats, I will be different from ordinary noble girls. "

Being able to have such sobriety and self-discipline at such a young age made Zhao Di deeply moved: "I don't know if it's my luck or my fate to have a girl like you."

Her sense of mission as a princess is admirable and respected, and her words were recorded in the annals of history and praised by everyone.There are more versions of the story that spread like wildfire, and the people ridiculed that Emperor Zhao, who had abandoned his court, was not as good as his daughter.Every word passed to Emperor Zhao's ears, and he was so furious that he wanted to investigate thoroughly and punish him.

Zhao Jingshu gently persuaded: "Father, this matter is all because of me, if there is any fault, please punish me alone." How could Emperor Zhao scold the pearl in his palm.Zhao Jingshu said: "The ants don't know the height of the sky and the depth of the sea. The bird said that it can cross the mountain range by spreading its wings, and it thought that the mountain was only as high as one wing. They are mediocre and clustered together. There are so many people, the voices change naturally, and the stories passed down by word of mouth can become anything in the end. Why should the father be angry with these poor people."

"But they..." Emperor Zhao couldn't let go of his anger.

Zhao Jingshu said with a smile: "Beat snakes seven inches, and punish people with clever methods. They are illiterate, father, why don't you just run a big school and let them study hard, and it will be hard for them to use it. Let's see if they dare to chew people." You can't tell right from wrong."

Emperor Zhao was amused by Zhao Jingshu's method of saving the country by retreating into a curve. Overjoyed, he set up a school to "punish" these illiterates.

This act of kindness made all civil and military officials admire and respect Princess Jingshu more and more, and also made the common people feel close and loved this princess who loves the people.Her every move affects the hearts of the people of Zhao Guo.In Jiji Li's year, the topic of chatter in the streets and alleys was the accessories worn by princesses.Although Emperor Zhao was moody, outrageous and unreasonable, his love for his youngest daughter was unique in heaven and earth.

At that time, everyone was guessing, the whole country is full of gentlemen, who can pick the pearl and return it with skill?

The answer is the same, General Xiao Heng.

"Xiao Heng? The father of Xiao Tingchuan, the current sage?" Zhao Ci couldn't help but wonder: "Don't say that Zhao Yan's grandfather is Xiao Heng..."

Aunt Xiang glared at him: "Don't you want to know the ins and outs, then listen to me carefully and don't interrupt."

"You also talked too long ago—" I thought it started with "the beginning of the story", but I didn't expect Aunt Xiang to use "a long, long time ago" to tell this story. Zhao Ci just received a sharp wink , He immediately sat upright and said with interest, "Aunt Xiang, please continue."

Aunt Xiang's slender index finger poked Zhao Ci's head mercilessly, and continued to tell the history.

Xiao Heng is the father of the current emperor Xiao Tingchuan, the founding king of the Xiao Kingdom.At that time, he was still the great general under Emperor Zhao.There is no two in the limelight, and the future is bright.

The king rewards the celebration banquet, and when they meet each other naturally, the talented man and the woman are amazingly talented, and this match made in heaven is naturally a good match.What's more, if Lang is in love with a concubine, the marriage of a married couple is just around the corner.

It's a pity that Xiao Heng's promotion momentum is too fast, and he was framed by others, saying that he intends to rebel. In addition, his achievements are so high that he can overwhelm the lord, and his successive military achievements have inspired the hearts of the people.

In a major battle, his army was in a dangerous situation but an accident led to his defeat in Nanshan.People from other camps have long been ignorant of his rising sky, and just took this opportunity to slander Emperor Zhao.The Centipede is broken but never set back. He is a powerful general, and as soon as the ashes are revived, he will counterattack and let them perish.

Emperor Zhao was paranoid at times, but he was not a person of firm conviction. He began to doubt Xiao Heng's intentions when he said "Xiao Heng has a different heart" and "Xiao Heng wanted to rebel".Zhao Jingshu persuaded her many times, but was reprimanded by the opposition party members with the reprimand of "how can a woman interfere in the government".

"Isn't Zhao Jingshu the beloved daughter of Emperor Zhao? Why doesn't she even have a place to talk?" Zhao Ci couldn't figure out the difference before and after this.

Aunt Xiang sneered: "Emperor Zhao doesn't only have Princess Jingshu as his daughter."

These words gave Zhao Ci an instant enlightenment: "Those people belong to the camp of Emperor Zhao's other children..."

Aunt Xiang said: "The Taifu is the prince's master, and Zhao Jingshu can share it with him; the emperor's favored princess Jingshu is also shared with the prince; the father's precious rewards also go through the princess's mansion first and then flow to other mansions. Do you think it can be done?" people hate?"

Zhao Ci clapped his hands with his fists: "That's right, Xiao Heng is so powerful, if he is married to the princess again, then the prince will still have something to say? But the position of the prince is a foregone conclusion, so what should they worry about?" He asked puzzledly.

Aunt Xiang sighed and shook her head and said: "Zhao Guo has had a queen before, and the position of emperor is not exclusive to men. There has been such a precedent, so I am not afraid of [-], just in case."

"It's no wonder." Zhao Ci asked after a sudden realization: "Then what happened afterwards?"

The emperor's vigilance was easy to raise but hard to dispel. The three became a tiger and asked Emperor Zhao to urge Xiao Heng, who was thousands of miles away, to return to the capital several times.

However, everyone who understands knows that once he comes back, he will face a death sentence.

Kings and ministers have to die, but Xiao Heng would rather die in battle than die with a horse leather shroud.

"So he rebelled?" Zhao Ci didn't know how to evaluate it, but he was forced to go to Liangshan despite being utterly loyal.

"At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it was difficult to end a matter once it had a beginning. Is it really clear that the emperor will continue to be a general? Those cowards threatened the princess with the princess when the soldiers came to the city. Calling them villains is an insult to the villain." Aunt Xiang gritted her teeth. Slap the table.

"But..." Zhao Ci said hesitantly, "I seem to have heard that Xiao Heng attacked three times, and then Princess Jingshu..." He once heard a story about Zhao Jingshu in Hanjun Liuxiang Hall, and the story in it Zhao Jingshu is completely a love brain, stupid and sweet, Xiao Heng hurt her time and time again, and she was able to open the city gate for the other party and lead to the destruction of Zhao country.

This image is quite different from the princess image Aunt Xiang portrayed, and I don't know which one is real and which one is false.

Aunt Xiang snorted, and swears a precious curse: "Xiao Heng, that bastard, he deceived the princess. The first attack failed, and the princess went to prison to save him, but he stole the princess token. Later, Xiao Heng used The token confuses the city guards and tricks them into opening the city gate, but this heinous crime falls on the princess. Men are really bad things!"

The scope of the damage was too wide, and Zhao Ci chose not to speak to protest.

Even though he kept silent and tried to reduce his sense of presence, Aunt Xiang was still such a big man when she turned her head. She couldn't help asking: "Before Gongsun Ming was sad for a while after he came back, I think your attitude towards him now is completely different. It’s different, even if you lose your memory, you shouldn’t forget it so absolutely.”

Zhao Ci didn't know where to start.

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, and Aunt Xiang didn't force it: "You and Gongsun Ming are good children, I hope you both are well. I won't force you to marry Zhao Yan, but... just forget it Now, just pretend I didn't tell you." She rubbed her temples with a tired look on her face.

"An expert reincarnated once said that the princess was reincarnated as a phoenix bird, with great blessings and equal heaven, but the princess's second half of her life was not considered a blessing. But I had a dream the night before I met you. In the dream, a huge phoenix and Tell me, I will meet a child who can bless the blood of Zhao Guo." Aunt Xiang said.

Zhao Ci suppressed his hand touching his back, he didn't know whether he should explain the birthmark to Aunt Xiang.

His heart was like jumping into a centipede, scratching his heart with a hundred claws. He felt uncomfortable all over, and the feeling of concealing important things with someone close to him was really uncomfortable. Zhao Ci was not good at putting on a show, so he couldn't sit still and kicked his legs: "This—— It's too crazy." He said dryly.

Immediately after he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head. Following Zhao Ci's "ah", Gongsun Xiang said, "I thought it was weird at first, but after you came, there was Zhao Yan. Although she is weak and sick, she is with you It will be safe and sound, and I gradually believe it."

"So you put me on the hook to marry her? It's too beautiful for you to always think about it." In a flash of inspiration, Zhao Ci figured out the cause and effect, and he immediately jumped up and said dissatisfiedly to Aunt Xiang: "Although I am you I picked it up, but I’ve called you your aunt for so many years anyway.” He didn’t feel like a “latecomer” at all when he said these words, as if he was complaining for himself.

Although Zhao Yan is Zhao Yue's daughter, after raising Zhao Ci for so long, Aunt Xiang has long treated them indiscriminately.Now that he is doing this, it seems that she has become a stepmother, and Aunt Xiang can't help but say angrily: "Okay, okay, then I will arrange a bigger wedding for you and Gongsun Ming another day."

"No." Zhao Ci shook his head immediately in fright.

"Why not?" Aunt Xiang said dissatisfiedly, "You are not good either on the left or on the right, are you itchy again?"

Zhao Ci sat back on the stool, covered his thumping chest with one hand, and said softly with a lonely face, "I have someone I like." The wound no longer hurts, but when he thought of Jiang Yanyi, his heart ached.
