The emperor's daughter Changping

Zhou Xian pondered for a long time, and finally came to Ah Jiu's residence, and asked Xiaoyu if Ah Jiu was getting better after Wang Taiyi's visit last night, and if he took the medicine on time, Xiaoyu answered one by one, but he tossed and turned outside the door, and did not leave for a long time. Seeing him wearing a black gauze hat, a scarlet round-collared official uniform, and a tall and tall body, he secretly rejoiced in his heart. He thought to himself that he appeared in such a formal attire. Maybe he remembered something, so he walked to the door with difficulty, held the door frame and said with a smile: "Shixian, why are you standing outside the door and not coming in?"

"Miss Ajiu, you..." Zhou Xian was taken aback for a moment, as if he had taken great courage, and suddenly knelt down on his knees and said, "My minister sees Your Highness the Princess!"

"You...you know everything?" Ah Jiu smiled wryly, feeling empty.

"Why is this between you and me, Shixian?" Seeing Zhou Xian kneeling on the ground with lowered eyebrows, she only said 'yes' but didn't look at her, she just felt like a needle pricking her heart.

With all his strength, he stepped forward and wanted to help him up, but Zhou Xian said: "Since ancient times, there has been an order of honor and inferiority, and there are differences between monarchs and ministers. The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, a body of ten thousand gold. How can a humble minister pass by."

Ah Jiu paused, and could only say: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess!" Zhou Xian knelt and thanked the gift

The morning light of September could not warm her cold heart. No matter where she was standing, she neither entered nor retreated, and murmured: "In the past, you were the most annoyed by such etiquette. You said that you only treated me as a friend." , not a worshiped princess!"

"Weichen is a person who died once. The old past is like smoke dissipating, and the dream is prosperous. It has been buried in the depths of time along with the lost memory. I can't remember it anymore. If it touches the princess' sad past, please forgive me! "What she said was almost just a verbal exchange, but Zhou Xian listened to it verbatim.

"I thought you remembered something about the past, so you didn't remember anything, Zhou Xian, how did you know that I was a princess?" Ah Jiu asked.

Zhou Xian replied: "Yesterday, the princess sent a letter to Qin Shaoqing, and Baoding is searching for the whereabouts of the princess. I have an old friend, Shaoqing, and wrote the letter myself!"

So that's the case, I didn't think of this, just about to speak, I saw a Xiao Si hurried over and said: "Master, the commander of Jinyiwei, Mr. An, is asking to see you! He is waiting in the living room!"

"They must have come to pick up Her Highness the Princess!" Zhou Xian said. Seeing Ah Jiu's haggard face and poor spirits, he said, "Princess, please go back to the room and wait for a while. I'm leaving!"

Zhou Xian backed away, and Xiaosi also hurriedly followed, leaving only Xiaoyu beside Ah Jiu. She saw Ah Jiu standing still in the sun for a long time, and said a little uneasy: "Princess, it's hot outside, so go back to the house." have a rest!"

Ah Jiu regained consciousness, seeing Xiaoyu looking at her nervously

Talking, laughing: "Xiaoyu, are you afraid of me?"

Xiaoyu said: "I dare not!"

Ah Jiu sighed: "Don't be afraid. Although I am a princess, I grew up among the people and didn't have so many rules. Can you help me dress up? I want to meet my relatives in a beautiful way!"

Xiaoyu helped her into the room to dress up as she said, and she was about to get it done when she heard footsteps outside, Ah Jiu got up to look, and saw Zhou Xianzheng leading the two of them.

"Mother's queen!" As soon as Ah Jiu saw the visitor, she hurriedly called out, and then ran towards the visitor, but she forgot that she was suffering from a strange poison at the moment, she was unstable, and almost fell, but fortunately Zhou Xian helped her in time. will be avoided.

"Chang Ping!" Empress Zhou grabbed her and choked up, these days, she was dying of anxiety.

The same is true for Ah Jiu. The mother and daughter sat in a group hugging each other. They finally met each other in six years. They had thousands of words and endless thoughts, and they were choked up at this moment.

A little girl next to them quietly reached out and tugged at the corners of their clothes, and said with some crying, "Mother, sister Ah Jiu, stop crying!"

Only then did Empress Zhou let go of Ah Jiu, her face was a little pale, she pulled Xiao Shi to the front of Ah Jiu and said, "Xiao Shi, call me sister!"

"Sister!" Xiao Shi yelled at Empress Zhou, watching Ah Jiu smile sweetly, revealing her pear nest.

"Xiao Shi? Mother?" Ah Jiu looked at the two familiar people in front of her with growing doubts, but she still seemed to understand.

Zhou Xian took Xiaoyu away without knowing when, leaving the mother and daughter talking alone.

It turned out that Queen Zhou was pregnant for more than one month when she left the palace. Nine months after being separated from Ah Jiu and living among the people, she gave birth to a girl. Queen Zhou named her Xiao Shi. Under the care of some kind-hearted people , the mother and daughter finally passed the most difficult period of time, and settled down in the fishing village of West Street.

However, when she was pregnant with Xiao Shi, she wandered around, lived in the open air, suffered a lot from food, clothing and illnesses, and the mother and daughter suffered from many diseases. Xiao Shi was also weak due to malnutrition, and looked smaller than children of the same age. a lot.

No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw Xiao Ten. It turns out that they are flesh and blood sisters whose blood is thicker than water. In the future, they will be bound together for a lifetime!

Looking at the corners of Xiao Shi's eyebrows and eyes now, isn't it just inherited from his mother?No wonder she felt as if she had seen it somewhere.

On the [-]th day, after Empress Zhou came back to Baoding from the Jizhou Army as usual, she thought that there was no time to spend the festival with a few children on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and that they had to put out wishing lamps to make wishes together in previous years, so she went to the lamp shop in the city to buy a few. Before any of the wishing lamps could be paid for, a group of men in black rushed out and kidnapped her.

Those people took her away from Baoding that night and came to a desolate suburban area to press her for the whereabouts of Princess Changping. Empress Zhou naturally didn't know about it, but thinking that since these people knew about Princess Changping, they would be with the people in the palace. It can't be separated, but I think Chongzhen and the Queen Mother will definitely not use this way to find people. I am afraid that only Concubine Tian is left who can hate their mother and daughter like this and can kill them.

Concubine Tian thought this incident had been forgotten in the past six years, but what happened in the palace made this concubine Tian stir up trouble again.

Seeing how they threatened Empress Zhou without revealing Princess Changping's whereabouts, those men in black locked her in the small wooden house on the Feishi Forest, and changed guards during the day.

Although Empress Zhou was worried about Xiao Shi and the others, she was afraid of being implicated, so she kept silent about Xiao Shi, which prevented Xiao Shi from being found by them and escaped the catastrophe.

Until more than ten days later, it was already September. That night a masked woman suddenly opened the small door of the wooden house, took out a blood jade bracelet and handed it to her. When she saw the bracelet, she was flustered immediately, knowing that Ah Jiu They found out the whereabouts of Ah Jiu, so they asked the woman what happened to Ah Jiu?

The woman took off her veil, and it was He Hongyao who pulled Changping off the cliff that day, and told Queen Zhou that she would see Princess Changping soon. Queen Zhou saw her ghostly appearance in the dark night, plus a few days Mental breakdown, not thinking about food and drink, immediately passed out.

When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. With a white cloth stuffed in her mouth, she was tied up and thrown on the back of the big rock behind the house. There were two men in black with machetes beside her. There are men in black lurking.

Only then did she understand that Chang Ping hadn't fallen into their hands yet, but today they set up a trap for Chang Ping to drill into. Their mother and daughter should have lost their lives today.

When the sun was about to set and no one came, the men in black couldn't help cursing. Empress Zhou was very happy when she saw a purple figure coming up the mountain.

When the girl came to the top of the mountain, she was dressed in a purple dress, holding a green sword, and entered the cabin cautiously.

Empress Zhou was startled, that person is not Chang Ping!

That ugly woman had been waiting for Changping for a long time in the small wooden house last night. If she went in like this, she was going to die. Queen Zhou struggled to stop her, but was held tightly by two men in black. Where to shed dry tears.

Chang Ping also knew what happened afterwards, but fortunately they survived the catastrophe and the mother and daughter were reunited again. Empress Zhou and Ah Jiu couldn't help but burst into tears, and Xiao Shi who was on the side also sobbed loudly.

It took a long time for the three of them to calm down. Ah Jiu thought that Queen Zhou often went to the military camp, so she must have met Zhou Xian, so she asked her how Zhou Xian was injured, and why did he lose his memory?

Queen Zhou was quite surprised. She said that Zhou Shixian was sent to supervise the army in the Jizhou Army as the servant of the Ministry of War. It was two months ago. She was afraid that her identity would be exposed and her peaceful life would be ruined. The military camp also avoids Zhou Shixian. As for how he changed his name to Zhou Xian and lost some memories of the past, it is only known today.

No wonder when Zhou Shixian saw her just now, there was a completely strange look in his eyes. It turned out that some memory was lost due to a head injury.

Looking up and seeing Chang Ping alone in a trance, he thought that the two of them had played together since they were young and had a deep relationship, now that Zhou Xian has completely forgotten about the past, Chang Ping must be sad, but she was optimistic since she was a child, why her eyes are full of sadness, A look of loneliness?

Suddenly Empress Zhou seemed to have thought of something, she shook her head and sighed: "My child, I know what you think, but you have to realize that he has forgotten the past, and now he has a fiancée. Your fiancée is also Li Yuxian, your childhood playmate."

Ah Jiu didn't want to be exposed by Empress Zhou, and said in surprise: "Mother! You..."

Before the words were finished, she could not continue. Seeing tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, Empress Zhou pulled her into her arms and said, "You are not in deep trouble yet, so stop thinking as soon as possible. Who hasn't? Unforgettable past."

She wiped away the tears for Ah Jiu and said: "Don't say that he doesn't remember you now, even if you didn't leave the palace and he didn't lose his memory, Ah Jiu, you are a princess, born in the emperor's family, and now the Ming Dynasty is in danger, and your destiny has been determined by you." I can't help myself, if you have been in the folk, you still have a chance, but now, your identity has been exposed, and the Queen Mother has ordered you and me to return to the palace, forget about these things as soon as possible!"

Ah Jiu closed her eyes and said softly, "Forgot?"

"Mother, the past is so vivid in my memory, how can I forget it?"

She tried hard to hold back her tears and said: "I have grown up so much, and I will be 17 years old in three days. The happiest time is before I was ten years old, when I was with my father, mother, queen mother, and Shixian. At that time, the family was reunited and carefree. Among my playmates, he treated me the best at that time. He accompanied me to plant camphor trees, climb Longevity Mountain, and draw family portraits. I have always remembered it in my heart and never forgot it over the years."

"I don't know if the camphor tree has grown taller or not. Is it as big as the banyan tree in the imperial garden? Can it shelter from the wind and rain? I still remember that the picture of the family portrait was seen by the emperor when he came out. What do you want to do, Shixian said he wanted to be a victorious general, his father asked him why, he said in the play that if he became a general and won a battle, he could ask the emperor for rewards, his father was interested, so he asked him If he becomes a general and wins a battle, what kind of reward will he ask him for? At that time, Shixian said that he would marry the princess, which made his father laugh, saying that when he grows up, he will become a general. Drive out of Daming, no longer set foot in the Central Plains, when the time comes, with this painting as proof, he will marry his most beloved Princess Changping to him!"

Chang Ping paused for a moment, took a breath and continued: "That year, my mother and the queen left the palace in a hurry, Shixian was not in the palace, and I didn't have time to see him, so I asked Yuxian to help me give him the painting. Little, but I remember everything he said, I think he will understand what I mean, but now...now he doesn't remember me at all, queen mother, I feel so uncomfortable!"

Empress Zhou patted her on the shoulder slowly. She also knew what Ah Jiu said. Back then, the two children were childhood sweethearts, golden boys and jade girls, and they played together again. , which world is unpredictable and fickle!
