The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Princess Nangong did not intend to prevent pregnancy, but she failed to conceive, and she checked carefully, it should not be caused by external factors.

Compared with his father, Shan Yu, a military official, has always had fewer children. Before her, this Chan Yu had not many wives and concubines, but they did not have many children. Therefore, it is not that she has not been able to conceive after two years of marriage. Not to surprise the Huns.

Regarding this point, she is also a little complicated.

She was ready to give birth to a child, but this child did not come for a long time, but it may not be a bad thing if it does not come for a long time.

Not long after arriving in the grassland, Nangong sometimes felt like Zhuang Zhou was dreaming of a butterfly.

Is she the Nangong princess of the Han Dynasty, or the Dayan clan of the Huns?

Are these seemingly simple and simple Hun people really evil people who burn and kill at the border?Could it be that there is some misunderstanding in this?

All this ended with the appearance of a woman—the princess of the Han Dynasty who was pro-Xiongnu three years ago, her nominal "sister".

No, to be precise, when this woman finally found a chance to appear in front of Nangong after going through all kinds of hardships, Nangong could no longer use the word "human" to describe her.

Nangong actually knew this elder sister. Before she married the Xiongnu, she had been taught by Wang Meiren how to "become" a princess of the Han Dynasty.

Nangong remembers that Amei, who was young at the time, asked her mother the question "Do I still need to learn to be a princess?"It made my mother scold me a lot.

Nangong knew at that time that this woman was not learning how to be a princess, but learning how to pretend to be a princess.

It's a pity that she was carefree at the time, and she paid too much attention to this girl who was pretending to be a princess. After this girl left, she didn't think about her anymore——married as a princess of the Han Dynasty, what should I worry about?

From a girl of the people to a princess of the Han Dynasty, and then to the Yan family of the Huns, it might be a step up to the sky.Therefore, after the news of the princess's unacceptable death came, she only regretted it for a few seconds, regretting that she had no blessings and could not enjoy the glory and wealth.

But now, this "dead" woman appeared in front of her in an extremely miserable form.

She is not dead.

In fact, most of the former Han princesses did not die when the Xiongnu continued to ask for the princess, but the arrival of the new princess was their urging talisman.

"The purpose of the Huns is not for the princess." The woman struggled to utter these words. She firmly held the hand of the "sister" who had met for a while, and said word by word, "What they actually want is the princess's The dowry, the princess itself is just an addition and a show off."

In short, the marriage itself is another form of "request".The princess is part of the tribute, so after the last batch of supplies is consumed by the Huns royal court, they will let the princess "die of illness" and continue to ask for benefits on the grounds of marriage.

Princesses who are no longer useful will generally "die of illness" soon.In order to avoid trouble, their faces will be destroyed, their throats will be poisoned with voodoo, and they will be given to the people below as goods, becoming objects of lust and reproductive machines, and squeezed out of the last remaining value.

Because women are precious resources on the grasslands.

After "death", they no longer have the honor and status of the past, they no longer have the dignity of being human, and even their right to die will be deprived.

"Run away, sister, you must leave here." Despair was about to emerge from the woman's dry eyes, and she grabbed Nangong's sleeve with her withered hands.

The two met for less than a moment.Nangong came here to find the rabbits that were running around, and the woman did not know how many times she tried before she came across this opportunity to talk alone.

After returning home, Nangong hugged the rabbit and thought about it for a long time. She couldn't decide whether the elder sister's appearance was a real accident or someone deliberately set it up.

The former is too coincidental, and the meaning of the latter is unclear, but no matter which one, it makes Nangong feel cold all over, as if she was suddenly thrown into icy water, and she felt chills from the bottom of her heart.

On the vast prairie, she had no one to ask, and no one to discuss with her, and all the dowry that came with her was broken up except for a maid and an eunuch close to her.Even so, several Hun attendants were placed beside her, and the round-the-clock surveillance made it impossible for her to discuss with them alone.

All judgments must be made by herself.

About one month after that meeting, a lieutenant who accompanied her suddenly claimed to have discovered a loophole in the Xiongnu patrol, and brought a few young men to her to escort her back to the country.

After being rejected by Nangong, they gathered a group of people one after another to encourage Nangong to flee, each time attracting more people than each time.

In the end, Nangong was really afraid that this matter would involve more people endlessly, so he told the Xiongnu Shanyu about it.

Later, she never saw these soldiers again.

On the contrary, it was the leader, whom she had seen a few times in a very coincidental state. At that time, he was already dressed as a Hun cavalryman.

Nangong was very sad, she didn't need to ask her to know where the men who were tricked by the villains and really planned to send her home with their lives went.

She had already prepared her hands to be stained with blood, but she didn't expect that the first to be stained would be the blood of big men and good men.

After that, she proceeded step by step, cautiously, and proceeded step by step according to the rehearsals and plans before she came, not daring to slack in the slightest, and finally came to where she is today.

The Huns' Da Yan family accepted the bamboo slips handed over by the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and the familiar square characters in them almost brought tears to her eyes.But she just blinked her beautiful eyes, quickly blinked away the smear of water vapor, and then raised her head, "I'm a prince, and I'm a little bit unsure about being a sister... You're still so young, how can your majesty..."

She moved her lips and finally swallowed all the words that followed, and the envoy holding the scepter smiled slightly, "Please rest assured, Mrs. Da Yan, Your Majesty has his own intentions in choosing His Highness as the crown prince. Your Highness is too young but too witty." Man, Your Majesty is at the time when the dragon and the tiger are fierce, so teach slowly."

Princess Nangong burst into a smile, "That's right... how is Aunt's health? Are all the brothers and sisters at home safe? Rong, brother Rong..."

"His Royal Highness Rong has been granted the title of King of Linjiang, and he is already in the country. Your Highnesses are also fine."

"This way..." Nangong squeezed the bamboo roll, rolled it up little by little and held it in the palm of his hand, "I've been married too far, so it's inevitable that I miss my family..."

"Your Majesty and Your Highness are also concerned about Da Yan." Zheng Shi lowered his eyebrows and bowed his hands in a salute, "Before I go out, Your Highness the Queen asked me to take a look at the princess. Is it okay, is she fat, thin, tall? They are still short, and ordered the minister to tell His Highness one by one after returning home, so as to comfort his lovesickness."

These words made Nangong unable to hold back, and she shed tears one after another, but she said to the messenger as if she didn't notice: "In that case, you should raise your head. Remember to tell mother that everything is fine when you go back. "

"Here." The envoy raised his head slowly, his gaze went from bottom to top, and finally met the eyes of the smiling princess with tears streaming down his face.The man's eyes flashed, and then his eyes fell again, fixed on the jade hand of the princess tightly holding the bamboo scroll.

Just when Nangong was about to say something, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from outside, "Don't worry, Mrs. Yan, do you know why this envoy of your big man is here?"

Just before he stepped into the tent, Nangong quickly wiped away the tears on his face.At this time, a pair of reddish Qiushui pupils greeted the person, and the military official Shanyu gently supported her shoulders and pushed her back on the couch, with a very intimate and loving posture, "The emperor of the big man said, We will send envoys to each other to celebrate the New Year with my court of the Huns."

"New Year?" Nangong's eyes widened, still looking innocent like a girl, she said in the language of the Xiongnu proficiently: "But the Han's new year is October, and the Xiongnu's new year is January, how can we celebrate together?"

"It doesn't matter. The Xiongnu sent envoys to the Han Dynasty in October, and the Han Dynasty sent envoys to the grassland in January." The military minister Shanyu patted his wife's hand, "We also agreed that it will be October soon, and I, the Huns, will send envoys to the grassland first." This is the first New Year's greeting, and I will send King Zuoguli there."

"King Zuoguli?" Nangong was a little surprised. As far as celebrating the new year is concerned, this envoy's status is not low.

Zuoguli King Yizhixie was the youngest brother of the military official Shanyu. The Huns respected Zuoguli, and Zuoguli King's status was equivalent to the third in command of the empire, second only to the left and right kings.

"What about the big man?" She looked at the envoy with anticipation in her eyes, and the latter bowed slightly, "His Royal Highness Liang Wang will lead the envoy northward in the first lunar month."

It's uncle!

In terms of status, both are the younger brothers of the emperor, but there is no doubt that the big Han still suffers. When the Huns went south, the weather was pleasant, but when the Han people went north, it was indeed ice and snow.

This kind of climate goes deep into the grassland... Nangong's lips moved, but he didn't say anything. The Xiongnu Da Shanyu was also very satisfied to see his Yan family acting like this. He waved his hand to signal the two to continue talking about the past, as if he didn't exist .

How could Nangong really think that he didn't exist?Besides, with the great Chanyu here, she couldn't say some words and code words.

She bit her lip secretly, but after all she was reluctant to let go of this opportunity, so she asked people to prepare pens, ink and parchment, and she wrote on the parchment while asking, "Will you pass by Zhongshan when you return to Han?"

"Return to Your Highness, the minister can send an envoy to deliver a letter to His Highness."

"Not in a hurry." Nangong thought for a while, and continued to write, "It's not a big deal when you return to Chang'an. These seeds were given by brother as a dowry when I was married. It still can’t be planted, and I don’t know whether it’s the wrong way of planting or the problem of the seeds themselves, you tell him that I plan to try again, ask him to write some planting techniques, and send more seeds.”

"The grassland has a different climate from that of the Dahan. If I don't try more, I'm always a little bit reconciled."

——"Your Highness ordered so."

Xia Anran held the parchment written by Princess Nangong and pondered for a moment. He read it several times and confirmed that it was indeed a series of plant names written on it. He was suddenly confused.

As the envoy said, Nangong wrote the names of some plants, and then said that he tried to experiment for two years, but then he seemed to remember something and added a few more.

There are no problems except that the format is a bit untidy.

He put this piece of parchment on the table and tried to rub it with his fingertips, but the parchment was different from ordinary paper, and naturally there was no interlayer.

After such a toss, the little king was still at a loss and couldn't understand it.

Could it be that his sister really wanted to ask him for seeds?But if you want seeds, you can just ask Chang An to prepare them. Why do you need to take this trip from him?

Impossible, Nangong must want to convey some message... and this message, Nangong is sure that only he knows.

Yuanshen didn't have much contact with this Princess Nangong, after all, the age difference between the two parties is quite large, and men and women are different and can't hang out together.When he entered this body, there was only one encounter with Nangong.

If there is a message...it can only be the former Empress Bo, and the books that are now here with him.

As soon as Xia Anran turned her head, she really wanted someone to bring Queen Bo's scroll, but she saw the envoy staring at the bookshelf with a fixed expression.

Ok?

The little king followed his gaze, and saw a not-so-obvious cat ear hiding in a certain grid of his bookshelf, and two faint pupils facing each other a little higher than the horizontal line of the wooden shelf. is making.

It's really scary at first glance.Seeing that the envoy squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand towards the sword... Of course the place is empty now, Xia Anran hurriedly comforted him: "The envoy doesn't need to worry, it is a pet of a certain family, it likes to hide in the dark and observe."

After getting people's attention back, he said to the messenger again: "I have received sister's letter, and things still need to be prepared for a few days, so please stay here first."

When the person left, the little king looked at the bookshelf, and the cat ears that had been "observing in the dark" had disappeared, so he didn't pay much attention, he just got up and went out in a hurry.

The cat at home has always moved freely, coming and going like the wind, just let it go.

Xia Anran didn't find someone to move the books, but chose to go to the library by herself.

In fact, the books given to him by Empress Bo had already been transcribed into paper books for preservation and dissemination after he returned to China, but he was worried that the secrets were actually hidden on the scrolls. Watch the original.

When the little king was tossing about in the library, the emissary always felt hairy on his back, as if a pair of eyes had been watching him secretly.

At first he thought it was someone sent by King Zhongshan, but after several times he discovered the subtlety.It's because no matter how he moves, that person's eyes can be fixed on him, even if he goes to clean his hands, he won't let him go. If Zhongshan sent someone, it really doesn't have to be like this.

Moreover, his skill is also good, if it is ordinary stalking, why has he not found anyone so far?Just as he was really curious in his heart, he deliberately moved quickly in the courtyard. The range of his running increased, and the stalker would naturally show his traces.

It is a small animal with round ears and a long tail, which is only half an arm long. Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, the latter sat upright and licked his paws without hiding, with an attitude of "I let you find out on purpose" .

He was silent for a while.

Is this raised by His Royal Highness King Zhongshan?

It should be, look at the golden brocade on the neck, just because he occasionally caught traces of the brocade, he thought the stalker was human.

"What is this..." the man muttered, "It's so fat."

"Meow!" How rude!

The little animal bared its teeth at him, patted the cat's paws, and shook off its fur.

But the cat has a weird temper, but after a while it yawned a big and contemptuous yawn, and left with a "I'm not interested in you anymore" gesture, flicking its big tail.

If the citizens of Zhongshan had any opinion on their lord, there was probably only one thing, that is, the pets they raised were too annoying.

This cat, which Dou Wan casually caught for the little king to play with, took a long time to arrive in Zhongshan after a long journey.The air here is more humid than that in Chang'an City, making the little animal in the fur coat very unhappy, but fortunately, the abundant and easy-to-catch prey quickly made up for its traumatized mood.

Xia Anran didn't keep it in captivity, and after he and the cat could get along together, he didn't even trim its nails anymore. Of course, Dou Wan played a major role in this.

As soon as the little king came back to the country, he was stumbled by a mountain of political affairs. Besides the political affairs, Chen Jiao had to be settled. This unknown feline named Long Long naturally had to be taken care of by another person.

So the long cat was handed over to Dou Wan to take care of.

Regarding the two-legged beast that took it out of the den, Changchangmao has very complicated feelings towards Dou Wan, with fear and fear.

But cats are naturally challenged and thrill-seeking animals.

Although it knows that Dou Wan is really scary, but when he finds out that the two-legged beast that dominates the mountain is unusually docile in front of the little king, the cunning cat consciously found a way to restrain the big devil.

Like all small animals, it immediately identified the first object to please in this family, and through repeated temptations that looked like death to outsiders, it found out its own ecological chain in Zhongshan. position.

Xia Anran, who is at the top of Zhongshan's ecological chain, naturally became the cat's main object of appeal.

As a result, the little king soon enjoyed special value-added services such as warming feet, delivering mice, catching birds, and being a paperweight for cats contributed by the unyielding Changlong on the road.

Although it was a bit inexplicable, the little king was still very happy when he found out that he was being deliberately flattered by the cat.

The little king of Longxin Joy specially asked Wei Qing's eldest sister to order a cat scarf.As a big cat who walks around the streets with a bad temper and looks a little weird, after observing the behavior of this guy in the village, the little king is going to put an amulet on it to prevent this guy from arriving Sometimes it was made into a fur blanket.

So there is this golden product.

If you observe carefully, you can find that it says that the cat belongs to the king of Zhongshan. If any losses are caused, you can report to Shaofu to receive compensation.

So far, Changchangmao has made a long list of troubles, and the losses caused have been quite a lot.Most of it is due to hunting birds, and a small part is due to the additional losses caused by fighting with other livestock, such as dogs, when fighting for territory.

In a stable living environment, Changchangmao quickly turned into a solid little meat mountain from the beginning because of the hairy puffiness.Of course, as a cat, it is still a flexible fat man.

Xia Anran pondered the breed of this cat for a long time, and finally, after a hearty hunt, the cat let out a bark while kicking its prey while holding its prey, and it shrank into a little bit under the strong light. His pupils made him finally decide - this one should be a manul.

The little king once wondered why a cat that should live in the Gobi came to Chang'an.

However, considering the natural environment of Chang'an City, he was soon relieved. In this era when tigers can be raised on the edge of the city, what natural environment is he struggling with?

Since it was a cat cat, he didn't worry about it growing up, so as a qualified owner, Xia Anran left a meandering cat path for the house when redecorating the room, and even the seemingly ordinary bookshelf Behind it, there are actually several paths that cats can climb.

Changchang cat likes the design that it can hide in very much, and is keen to hide in it and observe strangers.

Compared with common cats, the ears of mantles are set lower, and their eye level is higher. Therefore, when mantles deliberately observe things, they are extremely concealed—of course, they are more sensitive if they are not aware of it. It is easy to be frightened by a pair of golden eyes in the dark.

However, if there is only one cat, it seems a bit lonely, and I have to find a way to find a wife for the cat.The little king has obviously begun to worry about the lifelong affairs of his pet.

It's not easy.The little king asked someone to ask a few familiar traders, and found that this kind of cat was basically scattered in the far west, which was basically the territory of the Huns, and it was the right part of the Huns.

Not to mention the difficulty of catching it, even if it is caught, it is not easy to bring it back all the way.

Poor Changchangmao is probably going to be a bachelor before Emperor Wu of the Han takes Hexi back.

"It's okay, we are all bachelors anyway." The little king waved his hand very boldly and said.

The young people who heard this remark all looked at each other in blank dismay.After a while, Li Danghu, who had been promoted to be a lieutenant of the Zhongshan National School, hesitated and said, "Your Highness...cough, there is actually one thing that is not worth mentioning or not?"

The eldest son of Li Guang, the governor of Daijun, actually showed a rare twitching gesture. He touched his nose, and hesitantly said in the eyes of the little king looking over and asking: "I, I like... A Ru... "

Ok?

The little king turned the sentence around in his mind for a few times before he understood what it meant, and he was shocked.

This person actually fell in love with Wei Qing's elder sister!How old are people?When did you see it!It didn't show at all!

too cunning

(Li Danghu struggled to explain: No, Your Highness, I thought I was very clear. Everyone knows that you are too slow.)

Xia Anran turned around several times in her mind. If Li Danghu marries Wei Ru, it means that Li and Wei are related by marriage, so Liu Xiaozhu, who is nepotism in their family, should also consider it for this sake. Li Guang's logistics is better.

It's really regrettable that Li Guang can't be sealed... But the premise is what Wei Ru thinks.

Li Danghu said a little awkwardly, "I, I haven't talked to Aru yet..."

……Oh.

Bai was very happy, and Xia Anran, who had already thought about what kind of killer and good-looking a cub would be if he combined Li Wei's two bloodlines, turned his head silently, not wanting to admit that he was self-indulgent.

snort!It's all because Li Danghu only spoke half of what he said.

Since I haven't caught up with that, Xia Anran hesitated for a while, and taught his bachelor brothers some skills in courting girls, and then he was a little bit flattered by the admiring eyes of his brothers.

Wei Qing and Xiao Douding followed Liu Zhi to Chang'an, while Wei Ru stayed in Zhongshan Guozhifang.Wei Ru has been working hard on Kesi these years, and has developed many successful patterns. Last year, she was promoted to be the owner of a Kesi workshop. Since then, she has a public position and a letter of appointment.

Although some people murmured a few words about the woman leading an official outside the palace, the Zhifang is actually under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and the Shaofu was originally the inner palace of the little king. question.

Therefore, when someone raised this objection to him during the court meeting, the little king nodded to indicate that he had read it, and then turned around and talked about other things.

The domestic affairs of Zhongshan Kingdom have caused people in the Shaofu to turn around. In the end, they had to call officials from the outer court. What's wrong with promoting a woman?

Your Highness said that you should let the experts instruct the experts, you know?

You are so free, why don't you come and help us figure out whether we can reach the amount of commercial tax credit for agricultural tax this year?Many bureaucrats in the Shaofu stared with panda eyes, full of murderous intent.

The author has something to say:

Duo Duo Goose: I remember you once said that you would no longer arrange pets for my dad!

Duoduoge: I'm the only one!

Duoduoge: Me!one!indivual! ! !

Author: I can't control myself! ~!

Xia Miao: (pointing) This is a token of love from your father!

Duoduo: Quack quack quack quack! ! ! (I am the token of love!)

(...actually, it is a food reserve/oil bottle)

============

The princesses of the Western Han Dynasty had frequent marriages, especially when they married the Huns in the early days.

It even happened that the two princesses were separated by a year.

Therefore, some historical researchers speculate that the princess and the princess are actually adding hair, and the genuine product is a dowry.It's just that it sounds nicer to talk to relatives, and they know each other well.

By the way, these princesses and relatives are actually the Yan family, that is, the concubine, not the Da Yan family, the Da Yan family is the queen.The status is different, and the author in the article has processed it.

Princess Nangong and Princess Longlu have never kissed before, so don't make mistakes when writing history textbooks!

When it comes to getting married, let me tell you some common knowledge.

When everyone talked about the Ming Dynasty, they all praised him for not getting along with each other.

But in fact, the Song Dynasty never had a kiss.

Is it something unexpected?

However, during the Jingkang period of the Song Dynasty, many imperial concubines (the princesses were called Diji during the Song Huizong period) were taken captive to the north, and the last record in history was that they married the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, but in fact, regardless of the Northern and Southern Songs, Other than that, there has never been a marriage.

Except for the Ming and Song Dynasties, there are records of marriages.

The peak of marriage was the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty married real princesses, while other dynasties generally married adopted daughters, clan daughters, and occasionally real princesses.

So if you want to time travel, as a female princess born at the pinnacle of time travel, it is actually better to go to the Song Dynasty.

The status of women in the Ming Dynasty was low, and the status of women in the Song Dynasty was still very high, except for Jingkang and the Southern Song Dynasty.
