[Comprehensive] supporting role

"If there is an afterlife, will I still meet you again?" Li Zhi took a deep look out of the window, "cough cough cough." He couldn't help the dry itchy throat and coughed a few more times.How old is he? Over half a century old, he sighed at his old, sick and nearly decayed body, and didn't want his servant Yuan Bao who was waiting outside to hear it and was worried. "Oh, my long live Lord, you have to take care of your dragon body, what should you do if you catch the cold so carelessly?"

"Both left and right are dead, so it doesn't matter if one step is earlier or one step later, it's all fate." After all these years, he was able to take it easy, but what he said casually made Yuan Bao sweat in anxiety, and hurriedly said: "You are the real dragon emperor. , God bless the person, naturally he will live forever, how could he..."

He waved his hand to stop the servant's unfinished words, and then waved his hand to let him back out, and walked to the desk in the study and started to draw alone.

He was still the frail emperor, but the little woman who was by his side was gone and only regarded him as her beloved husband wholeheartedly.At the age when he is old and no longer young and frivolous, what is left of him?Is it the loyal Yuan Bao, or the shrewd and capable Queen Mei Niang?But who else cares about the little feelings in his heart all the time, and can't help but feel sorry for his happy landscape that can never be realized, and indulge in the rivers and lakes?There will be no more, that Cymbidium plant has long bloomed by the Wangchuan River, crossed the Naihe Bridge, drank Mengpo soup, forgot the past life, and went to the next life.

I am really old, otherwise why do I keep thinking of that little woman who has committed such a crime and is no longer flawless. I thought he had never been tempted or fell in love with...

He was lying on the dragon bed, looking at the layers of water-blue veils, and in a trance, he saw the little woman who loved him until death walking slowly, her calm and calm steps were completely different from those in the past. Untimely rush.

I remember that time he just loved the bright moon at night, stood in the courtyard watching it all night, and got up early and got typhoid fever.However, when she learned about it, she lost her usual indifference and intelligence, and she was in chaos.He watched her panic like the sky falling, but he never thought of comforting her. At that time, he had already given all his tenderness to Meiniang.

She even disregarded her noble image as a concubine in front of slaves and guards, crying like a tearful person beside his bed curtain.She didn't listen to the advice of the servant girl beside her, and stared at him with good eyes. She didn't close her eyes for two days and two nights, and waited by his side to serve him with her own hands. She didn't leave at ease until he was fully recovered.

After he recovered from his illness, he put all his thoughts on finding the clues of Mei Niang. Later, she had passed away for a long time, when he wandered around accidentally and heard the maids who served her talk about Concubine Xianhui's past, Only then did she find out that after she returned to the palace, she fell ill and was unable to move around after staying in the sick bed for more than a month.

He heard the sympathy and sentimentality of the maids for her. There are many infatuated women in this world, but in this harem, the most important thing is true love and infatuation...

Hearing a voice calling "Your Majesty..." he came back to his senses, squinted his eyes and studied for a long time before he saw clearly that the one wearing the phoenix robe was not her, but Mei Niang, his empress.That's right, Meiniang never likes to call him by his name, it's just the emperor who is alienated and indifferent.Unlike her, that little woman always called him her husband in the gentle Wu Nong soft language when they were alone.

If he really followed the old saying, how forgetful he is, he shook his head, otherwise how could he mistake Meiniang for her.These two completely different women, no matter their faces and figures, or their personality and ambitions are very different. If Mei Niang is a big woman with the world in mind, then she is just a little woman who cares about her family.

Only do not forget lovesickness?Isn't the woman he should always keep in mind Mei Niang?He has overturned the madness of half his life on this woman, could it be that he no longer cherishes it after getting it?But looking back on the past, he remembered that during those years of entanglement, he was obsessed with obsession, fell in love with Meiniang, and persistently pursued Meiniang's love.

He has never noticed that there is a little girl behind him watching him obsessively, but now he always recalls the innocence of the two of them getting along, which is as insipid as water, but it completely surrounds him, lovesickness, but without end .

If there is an afterlife...

He closed his eyes, and the noise behind him gradually faded away in his ears.

The Holy One dies...

According to Tang history records, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhinian passed away every fifty-five years. After that, Empress Wu Shimei Niang of Gaozong ascended the throne and changed Tang Dynasty to Zhou...

Li Zhi never thought that there is such a supernatural thing in this world as death and resurrection. No, it cannot be said that it is resurrection from death, nor can it be said that it is resurrection from the dead. He is still the same him, the beloved son of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Prince Li Zhi However, the body of this eighteen-year-old young prince is already the old soul of 55-year-old Li Zhi.

He didn't know that this kind of experience is called rebirth by later generations.After rebirth, Li Zhi was the same as before. In the eyes of his father, Li Shimin, the prince lost a bit of childishness after a serious illness, and his face became more and more like his beloved wife, the eldest grandson queen who died young, a bit less. The pedantic cowardice brought about by reading a lot of books has a bit of the calmness that a prince should have.

If the prince Li Zhi knew what his father was thinking, he would smile wryly. Even though he looks like a weak prince on the surface, but with the experience of being an emperor in his previous life, he should have grown a little bit inside. .Not to mention the domineering arrogance of the Son of Heaven, but he will no longer be as immature and cowardly as before.

These days, Li Zhi has read anecdotes and anecdotes many times, but he can't get an answer from the book to explain his incredible rebirth.

Puzzled, he had no choice but to put down the scroll in his hand, and since he came late to love Lao Zhuang, he was imbued with Taoist inaction, believed in moderation, and had a demeanor of being at ease when he came.

He habitually looked at the orchids outside the window, looked at the small garden outside the window, but found that this was no longer the study room he had arranged with his own hands, and there were no Hui Ya's beautiful orchids there.He came back to his senses, and then he was calm again.

Even if he regained his life, he already understood his true intentions. He fell in love with that gentle little girl. Bai, ruined and flawless, and finally became the her in her previous life who had nothing left but his love?

Forget it, he should let go, maybe just like what she said unintentionally to him who was sick and comatose, if there is an afterlife, she might still be the ordinary Xu family Yingying who grew up in a small county town, her parents are still alive, and her family is safe. Well, with good sisters who are caring and caring, a girl who grew up carefree and matured, never met the gentle and elegant him who handed her a plain white square handkerchief by the bank of the Yangliu River to her who was crying and helpless.

Then follow the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, and marry an ordinary man like her.That he may be the simple and honest carpenter at the door, the honest and taciturn doctor next door, or the clumsy tofu man passing by, but he will take care of her wholeheartedly, without the intrigues of wealthy mansions, wives and concubines. Also bland.

As for her, she devoted herself to taking care of the small family, caring for her husband and teaching her children, and was busy all day in the ordinary life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, and then lived with him forever, full of children and grandchildren.

But all of this will be forever after meeting him, but she has no regrets.When he was drowsy, he heard her wish, and after waking up, he never took her most sincere words to heart, because at that time he had no time to pay attention to her deep love.

Since the past life has failed her infatuation, let her be safe in this life. The best thing he can do for her is not to bother her anymore, he thought silently, letting the face of the gentle smiling woman remain in his memory fade away.

He turned and left, pretending to be indifferent, and when he left the room, he was still the familiar frail prince Li Zhi, but he just had an extra obsession with orchids.

A few years later, the year has reached the crown, and there are [-] out of [-] princes who have no wives and concubines in their backyards.This made the emperor Li Shimin, who was very concerned about the prince, unable to sit still. Since the prince Li Zhi recovered from his illness that year, he dismissed his only second concubine, and then even declined his father who wanted to choose a side concubine for him. kindness.

Over the years, I don't know when I started to like to study Laozhuang and Zhuangzi, and the prince who believed in Taoism became more pure-hearted and ascetic.He even declined the kindness from his father Li Shimin and his uncle and grandson Wuji many times.

Recently, he has been really troubled, so he simply told his father to ask Ying to go to the people to check the people's conditions.

Thinking of the reason that domestic flowers do not have the fragrance of wild flowers, the emperor Li Shimin, who loves his son deeply, agreed to the prince's request for a rare time of selfishness.

When Li Zhi stepped out of Chang'an, he glanced back at the city wall, and then led a group of guards and whipped them away.The emperor, who was worried about the prince, stood on the city wall with his confidant ministers Changsun Wuji and Shangguanyi, watching his beloved prince go away, and did not look away until the group of people became invisible.

Knowing that the emperor was worried that although the prince was an adult, he didn't have much experience, Changsun Wuji comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if the prince doesn't have much experience, it's okay to think about it this way. There are also a group of personal guards that you gave, and the leader of the imperial guards that you secretly sent to sweep away the obstacles in front of the prince can be enough to deal with all dangers. You are not ignorant of Li Junxian's strength, Mr. Li. You can rest assured."

Li Zhi, who was traveling far away, naturally didn't know the conversation between his father and his uncle. He was only distracted by the information sent by the secret guard, which reported in detail the recent situation of that gentle woman far away in Lizhou. She was already in time. And this year was the year he met her in his previous life.

"Yingying, why are you sitting outside? Didn't you mean to play with Mei Niang and the others?" Aunt Xu asked her daughter with concern.Seeing her daughter still busy with chores at home, she couldn't sit still.

"Mother, don't worry, the appointment time with Mei Niang and the others hasn't come yet, and I just had lunch, and it's still early. I'll do more work at home first, and I will relax when I come back. But you, The illness is just right, why don't you lie down on the bed more often, so that you can take care of yourself so that the root cause of the disease does not remain." Yingying took the cloth handkerchief that was put aside and wiped her hands, and walked to her mother in three steps, talking while talking He helped her into the back room.

Knowing that her daughter is worried, she is not that old woman who doesn't know her daughter's filial piety, so she has to stand outside stubbornly.She followed her daughter's strength and let her support her all the way.

The mother and daughter walked into the back room and entered the main room. Aunt Xu had a kind face. She watched her daughter let her lie on the pillow and half sit on the bed. She removed her shoes and socks, covered her with a bedding, and did not forget to pinch the corners of the quilt for her. Carefully, Lao Huai comforted me.

It's time for such a good daughter to see her in-law's family. Even though she is reluctant to marry her off, she thinks that her daughter's family has only had a good time for a few years. After that time, it will be difficult to find a good husband. Xu Auntie, she can't take care of those distressed things.

Later, she will have to discuss it with the old man, but she has to find a suitable marriage for such a caring and sensible girl, and find an honest, capable, considerate son-in-law who is worthy of her beautiful and talented daughter. .

After finishing the work at hand, Yingying turned around and entered the main room. Seeing that her mother couldn't help but gradually fell asleep, she walked up to lean on the bed and gently adjusted her sleeping position for her to sleep. After getting more comfortable, he walked out of the room silently.

Looking at the sky, thinking that it's time to go out and meet Mei Niang and the others, Yingying went back to her boudoir and changed out of the goose yellow dress, and put on the moon blue color embroidered with white on the base that was just cut this year. In the floral spring shirt, she traced a light eyebrow in front of the bronze mirror, and then took the indigo purse that was packed on the dressing table last night and tied it around her waist.

After tidying herself up, Yingying went out of the house and walked towards the market. After a while, she saw Mei Niang and Xiao Duo who were waiting for her and looking around.

She walked forward quickly to their side, smiled shyly, and apologized to her friend: "Sorry, I'm late, have you waited for a long time?"

"It's okay, it's okay, we came a little earlier, is Auntie feeling better?" Meiniang comforted Yingying who was embarrassed, and greeted Aunt Xu in order to divert her attention, and secretly opened her mouth to think The one who wants to mutter a few words is an extra elbow Noriko.

Yingying naturally knew that this was Mei Niang's kindness, so she pretended not to see Xiao Duo's pained expression, "My mother is much better." Feeling sorry for delaying the time to discuss things to do, she asked instead : "Then Mei Niang, let's hurry up and prepare."

"En, Yingying, what you said is right. What are you doing, Xiaoduo? Let's go." Turning her head, Mei Niang saw Xiaoduo squinting at the pretty girl passing by, and raised her hand to Xiaoduo, who has returned to her old ways. My brain exploded.

"Ouch!" Xiaoduo, who had long succumbed to Mei Niang's lustful power and was willing to be a younger brother, wailed, holding his severely injured head and said aggrievedly, "I said boss, don't forget that you are going to play Maguye today! , is it really okay to be so violent?"

Yingying looked at the scene that would appear every time, she felt very happy and laughed again, but due to her personality, she was gentle and considerate, so she didn't want to sprinkle salt on Xiaoduo's wounds, so she just covered her mouth and smiled secretly, her almond eyes were very curved. lovely.

Yingying in this life is happy. Although Xu's father almost passed away due to illness a few years ago, it was God's blessing and pity that he was rescued by a highly skilled doctor.She still has an ordinary family, loving parents who treat her like jewels, honest and reliable brother who is taciturn but also gives her silent care, and a good sister who is innocent, kind, hearty and enthusiastic, Mei Niang and witty escape. Xiaoduo.

For others, it may not be a great happiness, but for Xu Yingying who doesn't ask for much, everything is enough. This is all she desires.Perhaps Yingying's only little trouble is the frequent dreams she had when she was a cardamom girl, and the figure of a man whose face couldn't be seen who suddenly appeared in her dream. I didn't say it, I just got used to it.

The author has something to say:

I always guess that if there is someone I can always rely on, whether it is a relative, a friend, or a lover, Xu Yingying will not be in a desperate situation in the end... She is still that gentle and charming Jiangnan woman, just like a cypress plant Lan*^_^*
