Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

At the end of March, peach and pear blossoms have already fallen to the branches, and the petals floating on the water seem to be blooming the last touch of enchantment.Shui Danyang was sitting quietly leaning against the gazebo, the ivory-handled Butterfly Playing Flower Fan was gently shaking in his hand, and the light blue tassels were hanging down on the light red clothes, which lost its original bright color in a dim manner.Just like her at this time, the slight sadness and paleness on her face dimmed her beautiful face.

With a sneer, he looked down at the big red embroidered handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks in his hand.Cool tears fell down and wet the embroidery thread of the white-headed mandarin duck, the bright needlework became more and more clear, and suddenly a sharp gold hairpin was pulled out from the hair and cut the cross-necked mandarin duck on the embroidered handkerchief from the middle.The teardrops falling down became more and more eager, and the maid behind hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late, the embroidered handkerchief was broken into pieces, and was thrown into the lake by Shui Danyang.

Daiyu looked over anxiously, saw Shui Danyang sitting in the gazebo, and walked forward with a sigh of relief.The maids who were serving her breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Daiyu had found her, and rushed to pay her respects.Daiyu waved her hand to let them exit the gazebo, her distressed eyes fell on Shui Danyang's red and swollen eyes, she took out an embroidered handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on her face, hugged her in her arms, and said softly: "Danyang, If you feel sad, cry."

Shui Danyang stiffened his body and tried to endure the bleakness and grief that filled his heart. Hearing Daiyu's gentle words of pity, he couldn't bear it anymore. He cried in Daiyu's arms and was out of breath.Daiyu hugged her quietly, turned her head to look at the calm water, trying not to let the tears fall down.

In just a few days, the world has been turned upside down.The new champion Pan Chengjun wants to marry a girl who grew up as a childhood sweetheart. Shuishu learned that he also cherishes Pan Chengjun's literary talent and character, so he decreed to marry him.What followed was to give Shui Danyang to Xin Moyu, the general of Huaihua, as his wife. The date was set on April [-]th, and there was no room for turning around.

She already knew now that the man she saw in the market that day was Huaihua General Xin Moyu.Unexpectedly, the martial artist she despised that day would become her husband-in-law. She bit her handkerchief full of sorrow and tried not to cry out. The sad words of Princess Beijing still lingered in her ears: "If you don't marry, you will marry me for your own sake. What about the entire Beijing Palace? We Beijing Palace cannot bear the crime of disobedience." The old man's sobbing made Shui Danyang even more uncontrollable sobbing!

It's easy to say but hard to do. Can she really abandon the entire Beijing Palace to resist the decree and disrespect?It's simply impossible, she can't and can't leave it behind, this is the home she grew up in for 17 years.There is a mother, brother and sister-in-law who loves her, and two lovely children who are not yet one year old.

Shui Danyang, weeping silently, withdrew the jade bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Daiyu, stood up staggeringly, his beautiful face was mottled with tears, as beautiful as broken jade, and said softly: "Sister-in-law Wang, this bracelet The jade bracelet was given to Brother Wang by Mr. Pan that day, let Brother Wang return it to him today." She used to dream of happiness for a long time because of this so-called family heirloom jade bracelet, but now the bubble has been shattered, and she still keeps this What do things do?Since it is a family heirloom jade bracelet, it is naturally worn by Pan's daughter-in-law!

With mottled candle shadows, Daiyu sat silently on the couch, looking down at the jade bracelet in the brocade box, her brows filled with melancholy.Perhaps growing up in the royal family was destined to take responsibility.This kind of responsibility is insignificant in Shuishu's eyes compared to the country and the country, but it is the life of a flowery woman.

Looking up and seeing Shui Rong coming in, Daiyu walked quietly to his side, handed the brocade box containing the jade bracelet into his hand, choked with tears in her mouth and said, "This, Rong Ying found a chance to give it to Mr. Pan, right?" .” Originally, I wanted to let Shui Danyang choose a suitable family by himself, but I didn’t expect to come to such a field now.

Shui Rong tightly held the brocade box in his hand, his veins were bulging, his eyes were already full of anger, and he stared coldly at the dancing light of the candles.He stretched out his hand fiercely and pulled Daiyu to lean against his bosom, closed his eyes tightly for a long time before softly saying: "Enlighten Danyang well, as the princess of the Tianbi Dynasty, he should be responsible for all responsibilities."

Although the military power of the Tianbi Dynasty is in the hands of Shuishu, after all, the capital has only been established for 70 years, and wars in the surrounding areas will often be provoked.Now, apart from the [-] troops stationed outside Beijing in the hands of Shui Shu, the only one who can compete with Li Shou is the Hussar General Xin Zhi.

Xin Zhi guarded Yanming Pass with 30 soldiers in his hands. He was upright and strong, and made many military exploits, but he was never proud of his achievements.Even the rank of his eldest son, General Huaihua, was rewarded by Xin Moyu who put on armor to meet the enemy on the battlefield and narrowly escaped death, without relying on his father's half.

He guards Yanming Pass all the year round, and has never participated in the factional disputes in the court, but he is absolutely loyal to Shuishu.The reason why Prime Minister Li didn't dare to force Shui Shu to make Shui Pei the crown prince was because of him.Now Shui Shu married Shui Danyang to him, in order for Xin Zhi to join forces with Shui Rong in the court to pave the way for the canonization of Shui Yun and the crown prince.The situation in the capital city has reached the point where it is on the verge of breaking out, and it is imperative for Shui Danyang to marry far away from the border, and it has to be done!

Daiyu nodded in his arms, her heart was full of regrets, and the misty emotions kept lingering in her heart, she said: "If I had known today, I wouldn't have let Danyang choose it by himself, now her heartache can also be taken care of." slightly less."

Shui Rong shook his head, patted Daiyu's back, and said lightly: "I had already noticed it when the Holy Majesty Li said that he would marry Danyang, so I was in a hurry to let Danyang choose a husband-in-law by himself. The marriage is settled. Our Beijing Palace has lost too much because of them, I didn't want Danyang's marriage to be mixed with politics."

Daiyu hugged him tightly, just wanting to use his warm embrace to warm the sadness and trembling in her chest.At this time, she realized that under the imperial power, people were so helpless.Not only could she not resist, but she also bowed to thank her with a smiling face, handed over her own flesh and blood to the royal family, and used them as pawns on the chessboard, allowing the person who played the chess to manipulate them at will.

For this palace that is nominally home, Daiyu suddenly felt the long-lost loneliness and desolation in her heart, such helplessness and helplessness.It turned out that the path I chose to take would be so difficult.Today's Shui Danyang, what about tomorrow?Daiyu shuddered, her Qingwan was still so small, she really couldn't imagine that one day Qingwan would be married off like this.

Sensing Daiyu's trembling, Shui Rong hugged her even tighter, hugging her tightly.The overlapping figures on the wall reflected by the candle shadow fit together like that, "The emperor does not allow us to retreat, we have no other way to go now, we can only go on. Only by completing the mission attached to us by the Holy One can we be a family." Get away safely."

The haze in the water-soluble eyes was heavy, thick as if the overwhelming dark clouds couldn't dissipate.If he really couldn't step back and get away, then he would definitely turn the entire Tianbi Dynasty upside down.Daiyu was in his arms silently, but her arms were tightened more and more, she buried her head in his arms, the unconcealable worry seemed to wrap around them with a slight chill.

Thinking of what the spies came back to report, Shui Rongyou's eyes became deeper and deeper like ancient well water. Shui Danyang's marriage will really be a real political benefit.Thinking of Xin Moyu who knelt down in the Lizheng Hall and begged Shuishu to take back the imperial decree, Shui Rong felt mixed feelings.

"Xin Moyu once married a wife. His wife was Qingmei who grew up with him in Yanming Pass. She died of illness in the General's Mansion in Yanming Pass three years ago." Although his wife has passed away, every time the training is over, , He would get drunk in front of his dead wife's grave with a strong drink in his hand.

Daiyu was slightly startled when she heard this, and immediately there was a hint of bitterness in her mouth, her erratic voice was blown away by the evening wind and became more and more fragmented, she said softly with trembling lips: "Rongying won't. God won't treat Danyang so kindly , Danyang, she, she is a good girl." The choking voice could no longer be restrained.

If it is true, as the spies said, Xin Moyu's love for his dead wife is as deep as the sea.According to Danyang's temperament, if he married him, it would be an even bigger tragedy.But, what can they do now?He could only watch helplessly as Danyang obeyed the emperor's order to marry far away from the border!

Princess Beijing, who had been ill for a few days, was as pale as paper, and the corners of her eyes spread thin lines like goldfish tails. She pulled her daughter into her arms with pity, and the tears rolled down.The daughter she cherished and pampered for 17 years is going to go away in a blink of an eye, and the fate between their mother and daughter has only lasted for more than ten days.

The calmness on his face is not that he has figured it out, but that the emperor's order cannot be violated. Even if there is resentment in his heart, he can only bury it deep in his heart. He looked up at Daiyu and sighed softly: "The princess has worked hard these few days." To take care of family affairs, take care of the two children, and receive congratulations from princes and aristocrats, take time to comfort Shui Danyang and let Zijuan Xueyan hug Haoze Qingwan to play with her, her thin body seems to be even more uncomfortable.

Daiyu shook her head lightly. Princess Beijing had already supported Shui Danyang to stand up, and said, "Danyang remember, you are the great princess of the Palace of Beijing. No matter where you go, the responsibility of the princess cannot be shirked." Although the mother and concubine are reluctant to part with you, the emperor's order must not be violated. You have traveled thousands of miles to marry at the border, and there is still a long way to go in the future, so you must think twice before doing things, and you must never act impulsively like in the mansion."

Shui Danyang bit his lips and nodded, the layers of reluctance in his heart finally turned into tears, and he knelt down in front of the bed of Princess Beijing, softly said: "Daughter has many ways and bad things in the past, please return me Forgive me a lot, concubine." Turning her head to look at Daiyu's teary-eyed face, she said softly, "Sister-in-law Wang is a good person. She is filial to her mother-in-law, dear to her sister-in-law, loving as husband and wife, and now she has given birth to clever twins. Daughter go Finally, please mother and concubine take good care of Mrs. Wang."

Princess Beijing couldn't help picking up the embroidered handkerchief, covering her cheeks and nodding. Daiyu helped Shui Danyang up, her lips trembling and she didn't know what to say.He just quietly took her arm, and gently wiped away the tears on her face, "I want to pay homage to my father." Lifting the handkerchief and gently wiping away the tears on Daiyu's face, Shui Danyang turned to look at Princess Beijing.Princess Beijing nodded, looked sideways at Daiyu, and sighed: "Tomorrow's affairs in the mansion will only allow Zijuan to stay and help the concubine mother. The concubine will go with Danyang."
