Marriage of the Di Daughter

In November, the first snow fell in Yanjing City.

There was not much snow, but the weather was already extremely cold. I heard that the mountains on the east side were blocked by snow, and hunters dare not go into the mountains. There are also those who go to the mountains to make a living, not for anything else. This season, if they hunt a piece of white wolf skin and sell it to the wife of a wealthy family, they can get a hundred taels of silver.

People can do anything to make a living.

The walls and eaves outside the palace were covered with a layer of white snow. Although it was not as thick as in the cold winter, the snow was beginning to appear. The little eunuchs and little maids who just entered the door are still very strange. When sweeping the snow in the yard, they can’t help but step on it with their feet. Quite interesting.

Older people don't have such a good interest. In winter, people always become very sentimental, as if everything has lost hope. Looking at these new maids, she just shook her head and sighed. There is no future, people enter the palace every year, and people die every year. Don't you see that the white snow is pure, but how many unknown bones are buried under the ground. The palace looks magnificent, but it is actually dangerous. For them, the greatest blessing is to spend a few years in peace, and at the beginning of the year, they can be released from the palace smoothly, get married and have children, and live a stable life.

The sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures in the Compassionate Ning Palace has not been as frequent as it used to be recently. Probably because it was too cold, the Empress Dowager's hands and feet would become stiff after sitting in the palace and copying the scriptures for a while, and the maid hurriedly took the heater to let her cover her hands.

"I'm getting old." The Queen Mother sighed, "Recently my hands and feet are always cold."

"Perhaps it's too cold in the hall," Mei Xiang replied, "I'll let you add a few more earth dragons later, servant girl."

The Empress Dowager smiled, did not speak, just frowned lightly, pressed her forehead, Mei Xiang said: "The Empress Dowager, do you want to go to the bedroom to rest for a while?"

"Good." The Queen Mother replied. Mei Xiang helped the queen mother to the bedroom according to her words, and then she walked to the door of the bedroom, the queen mother was taken aback, and suddenly said: "Mei Xiang, you guard the door, don't let others in."

Mei Xiang didn't ask why, but just nodded and backed out. The queen mother looked at the people inside.

On the side of her bed, there was a person sitting. That person propped his hands behind his back, and his legs were on the chair. She was used to being delicate, and the mattress on the bed was the most delicate and soft. When this person sat down like this, the bed It is really funny that the seat is more than half sunken.

"You don't want to die? How dare you come here." The queen mother said calmly, trying her best to hide the astonishment in her eyes.

It was a middle-aged man with a resolute and handsome appearance, and he also carried some unrestrained and unrestrained chic that did not belong to Yanjing City. Hearing this, he just smiled, disapproving, and said: "Roujia, long time no see."

The queen mother trembled slightly, "Roujia" was her boudoir name, so many years had passed, when the late emperor was alive, he had never called her that, but this man in front of him, no matter if she was the young lady of the Lin family, or Whether it's the crown princess, the queen, or even the current queen mother, when he calls her, he will always call her "Roujia".

This man is Yin Zhan.

King Xia, the late emperor's brother, the famous General Zhao De, just broke into the Queen Mother's bedroom and called her so intimately.

There was a crack in the Queen Mother's calm expression for so many years, and she even showed a little nervousness.

"Don't worry," Yin Zhan said, "I came to see the emperor. When I came here, no one noticed. You have to trust my ability. Rou Jia, you are still so cautious."

The queen mother said coldly: "After all, I had already caused a catastrophe because of my carelessness decades ago."

Yin Zhan was silent for a while before saying, "That's all over."

"It doesn't matter to me," the queen mother said indifferently: "I have been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for decades just to make up for the sins of the past."

"Oh?" Yin Zhan said with a smile, "I thought you were praying for me, praying that I would be safe."

What he said was so frivolous that the Queen Mother frowned, and she said: "I don't understand, what are you doing back here?"

"Roujia," Yin Zhan put away his smile, "you always refuse to tell the truth, isn't my purpose of coming back the same as your purpose for so many years?"

The queen mother said: "I don't have any purpose."

"You should have seen Zhili." Yin Zhan interrupted her, "He looks a lot like you."

The queen mother's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably. Her composure from the beginning to the present suddenly collapsed at this moment.

"Zhi Li, he is..."

"He is your child." Yin Zhan said softly, "For so many years, I have taught him very well. He is very good, but his heart is a little soft. This is not good," his face showed a little trouble With a look on his face, "This is an obstacle to what he will do in the future."

"What are you talking about to me?" The queen mother sneered, "Even if he is mine...he can't see the light. Since you have remarried your wife, you can live your life with peace of mind."

"It turns out that you are angry with me because of this." Yin Zhan smiled as if he was pleasantly surprised. If his expression falls on the Yin family, Mrs. Yin's Yanze, I'm afraid he will be shocked. He is resolute and rough, unrestrained and unrestrained, but he has no tenderness. It turned out that he used all his tenderness on the person in front of him.

"The late emperor was wary of me back then, and I had to marry, not only for me, but also for you, for Zhili." Yin Zhan said: "After having love, the late emperor dispelled his worries. I never touched her again, Roujia, He stared into the Queen Mother's eyes, "I never have anyone else in my heart."

The queen mother turned her head, trying to avoid his gaze, but turned her head and bumped into the bronze mirror next to her. The woman in the bronze mirror is no longer the delicate and charming appearance of the past. After many years, her face has gradually aged, and even a few white hairs have grown on her hair. She is no longer as young as before. Years have never shown mercy to beauties, among them, women are more cruel than men. Yin Zhan is more mature and charming than before, standing beside him, no one would think they are a good match.

The imperial palace finally turned her into a strange appearance.

"I don't want to hear this." The Empress Dowager said: "If you are here to reminisce about the past, please go out. I have made it very clear back then, and I will never see you again in this life. It seems that you didn't take my words to heart."

"It was forced by the situation back then. I have been planning for twenty years, just for today." Yin Zhan said: "Roujia, even now, you still have me in your heart, don't you? Even if you are willing to part with me, you will never be able to part with me, right?" .You haven't seen him for so many years. He always thought that his biological mother had died long ago. If I told him his identity..."

"No!" The Queen Mother quickly interrupted him, "Don't tell him."

"You know this is impossible, Roujia." Yin Zhan said, "He should learn to accept his fate. He should also recognize his biological mother, don't you want him to call you mother? Zhili is very kind, he He won't hate anyone, he doesn't want you to be sad."

The Queen Mother shrugged her shoulders.

She has stayed in the palace for so many years, and she seems to have nothing to do with the world, but she can firmly hold the position of queen mother. To be exact, when the late emperor was here, she has always held the position of queen firmly, doing everything impeccable.

The Empress Dowager is a young lady of the Lin family. When she was young, she was the eldest daughter of Uncle Feng. The name of being gentle and virtuous is well known. When she was sixteen years old, she was assigned to the crown prince by the emperor at that time and became the crown prince.

As soon as he entered the deep palace, it was as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang was a passerby from then on. In the Empress Dowager's heart, there is also Xiao Lang, this Xiao Lang is none other than the prince's half-brother, Yin Zhan, the Prince of Xia at that time.

One day when Lin Roujia was going up the mountain to pray for blessings in the temple, she met a gangster. Yin Zhan happened to be nearby at that time and saved Lin Roujia's life. Lin Roujia was grateful and bandaged the injured Yin Zhan. The two young people had a special emotion. She was moved by Yin Zhan's bravery and might, and Yin Zhan liked her softness and gentleness. Feng Chengbo thought it was not good to spread the news about his daughter's attack, so he kept silent. All the servants of the Lin family who were present at the time were also dealt with. So no one knew about the past. In the eyes of others, Lin Roujia and Yin Zhan are still two irrelevant people.

But the growth of emotion does not require any environment, liking is liking, sometimes a light glance, over time, will lead to huge obsession. Yin Zhan originally planned to have someone go to the Lin family to propose a marriage, but before he had time, the news of the marriage from the palace came.

Lin Roujia became the princess.

Life is roughly like this, there will always be imperfections of one kind or another. Lin Roujia thought that perhaps Yin Zhan was an obsession that she could not fulfill in this life. She decided to let go of the lovesickness she had when she was young, and to be a princess.

She did well, the emperor died, the prince became the new emperor, she became the queen, and even gave birth to the little prince.

That was Lin Roujia's happiest time after entering the palace. Feng Chengbo was very satisfied, and let Mrs. Lin come into the palace every now and then to talk with his daughter. The Lin family was proud of Lin Roujia. Because of this, her brothers and sisters were sheltered, as well as the emperor, because the emperor got the little prince first, he cared about the eldest son very much. He would visit the Palace of Compassion and Peace on weekdays when he had nothing to do. This surprised Lin Roujia the most.

It is impossible for the seventy-two concubines of the emperor's three palaces and six courtyards to favor only one woman, especially as a queen, she must be wise and magnanimous and not be jealous. But Lin Roujia was always just a little girl in her heart, and she couldn't stand being left out in the cold. So the concern brought about by her son is especially useful to her.

Then, one after another, there were other princes in the palace. Concubine Liu Shu gave birth to the second prince, Concubine Xia gave birth to the third prince, and a new concubine who was a beauty. The emperor dotes on Concubine Liu Shu, admires Concubine Xia, and treats the second and third princes very well. Fortunately, the prince was raised by the emperor, and the emperor loves the prince the most.

Concubine Xia Guifei died soon after giving birth to the third prince, and the emperor raised the third prince under the empress's name. Lin Roujia treated the third prince kindly on the surface, but in fact she hated it. She was afraid that the child would have something he shouldn't have, and wanted to compete with the prince for something, so she couldn't help being on guard. After all, the prince is Lin Roujia's last thought.

But God actually snatched away the last thought from Lin Roujia.

The prince died at the age of five.

Lin Roujia was almost going crazy, she was on the verge of madness, she insisted that it was a good thing done by the third prince, otherwise the two princes were playing in the imperial garden together, why would something happen to the prince alone?

The emperor comforted her, Lin Roujia wished that the third prince would die immediately, and then the imperial doctor came, and the body was examined, and the palace servants testified that the prince had a congenital deficiency and died of a sudden heart attack. The third prince is innocent.

Lin Roujia was on the verge of collapse. She knew so many people that the imperial doctor would not lie, but this was not the answer she wanted. If it wasn't for the third prince, she would have no object of hatred to entrust, and she would die.

After the death of the crown prince, the emperor was very considerate of Lin Roujia, and for this reason he was obedient to her. However, the emperor's patience had a limit, and Lin Roujia was gloomy all day long. If things went on like this, the emperor would not like to come to Kunning Palace anymore. And the struggle in the palace is the cruelest, as long as you take a step back, you may fall into the abyss. For example, Concubine Liu Shu, the mother and concubine of the second prince, was ready to move at this moment.

If the second prince is established as the crown prince, concubine Liu Shu will be the prince's concubine, and it will be a matter of time before she replaces herself as the queen. The queen was a little panicked, Feng Chengbo told her not to be afraid, she still has a third prince. The temperament of this third prince is similar to that of the dead Concubine Xia. He is clever and knows how to advance and retreat, so he may not be unusable. In any case, having already lost a prince, it is absolutely impossible to lose the position of queen.

Lin Roujia was enlightened by Feng Chengbo's words, and suddenly realized. Determined to hold on to his position and not allow anyone to take advantage of it. She started to treat the third prince gently and raised him, as if she was a loving mother. The third prince really lived up to her expectations, and became fierce, and said "mother queen," as if very affectionate. It almost made people forget that a few years ago, because of the death of the crown prince, the empress wished to kill him.

Sometimes when Lin Roujia looked at the picture of her and the prince, mother, loving son and filial piety, she would silently mock in her heart, thinking that they were just two hypocritical people. She missed her dead son more and more, and became cold-hearted about the emperor's ruthlessness.

At this time, Yin Zhan, who was triumphant in the battle, appeared.

Ever since Lin Roujia became the crown princess, Yin Zhan left Yanjing City and went to the border. Lin Roujia could only learn about him from the palace man's good news. But after a long time, she was busy with intrigue and compromise, and a huge change occurred in her life, so she put all these things behind her. Yin Zhan seemed to be far away from her, a phantom far away. When Lin Roujia learned that he was coming back, she was also very calm, thinking that after many years, when she saw Yin Zhan again, it was probably just two strangers meeting each other That's all.

She didn't know whether she had overestimated her determination or underestimated her desire. When she met Yin Zhan, she suddenly realized that the past thousands of days and nights hadn't dampened her feelings for Yin Zhan. Yin Zhan is still the same as she remembers, even more fascinating than before. It's just that Yin Zhan has married a wife now, and she knows that the lady of that family is as gentle and kind as she used to be. Looking at herself again, Lin Roujia felt that it was difficult for her to face Yin Zhan because of her unrecognizable appearance.

But Yin Zhan actually broke into her palace.

He risked being found out and lost his head, desperate, just like when he first met, in order to protect the strange girl he met by chance, he did not hesitate to be brave when he was injured, broke into her bedroom, and broke into her long-dried heart.

Yin Zhan knew all of her unwillingness, her pain, and her anger. With a strong and turbulent gesture, he healed the pain and emptiness of these years for her. Feelings are out of control, like a spark that is about to go out, suddenly got firewood, burning dazzlingly, and burning into a sky-high fire.

None of them can stop the fire from burning bigger and bigger. Even if they know that the final result is doomed, like walking a tightrope and sinking in danger, none of them is willing to stop. As if dying like this was worth it.

Yin Zhan told her that the wife he married was only in the name of his parents and had no feelings for him. In his heart, life after life, he will only fall in love with one woman, that is Lin Roujia.

Lin Roujia is a woman. She has been pretending to be dignified and virtuous for so many years, but for a man she doesn't love. At this moment, in front of Yin Zhan, she suddenly feels loved. She became crazy because of this, so she was desperate, and she even gave birth to a son for Yin Zhan.

This son, Yin Zhan gave him the identity of the Yin family, and even the wife of Yin Zhan who died was also a victim of this secret.

She betrayed her husband, and he betrayed her best brother. The two reached the ultimate joy in betrayal, but the joy is not eternal.

After all, the emperor had heard some rumors, but they concealed it too well and could not find any evidence, so the emperor issued an order to let Yin Zhan go to Yunzhong.

Yin Zhan was very chic when he left. He even married a surname before he left, and the surname became pregnant not long after. He left in a hurry and didn't say a word to Lin Roujia. Lin Roujia hated him for many years. She thought she was left behind again, but she was still not reconciled.

Until the crown prince ascended the throne and became Emperor Hong Xiao, and she became the queen mother, she even hid in the Palace of Compassion and Ning to copy Buddhist scriptures every day. She copied it for many years, trying to keep herself from showing emotions, but when this man, the man she had been entangled with for half her life, ventured into her bedroom like this, she found sadly that her heart would still fluctuate because of him, Those Buddhist scriptures were of no use at all, she was easily aroused by him into crazy emotions, and there was no medicine to save her.

"You confuse me, Yin Zhan." She said softly. This sentence did not hold the posture, but softened it, just like Lin Roujia many years ago. She said: "What I want to do, I will naturally do it myself. I don't understand if you come in like this."

"When I left back then, I was in too much of a hurry. Brother Huang arranged eyeliners all over the palace. If I came to say goodbye to you, I would definitely be discovered. I don't want to involve you, Roujia." He said softly: "For so many years, you have suffered."

Lin Roujia's tears were about to fall, she turned her head away and said, "Yin Zhan, I'm not suffering, but tired."

The palace was silent for a while, and he said: "I think you might hate me if I didn't say goodbye to you last time, so before I leave now, I must say goodbye to you."

"Farewell?" The queen mother turned her head and stared at Yin Zhan, her voice changed slightly, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to do something, Roujia," Yin Zhan stood up and walked to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother took a step back without a trace, but was held down by his shoulder. He looked down at the other party. extra petite. He continued: "There are many things that happened back then that have not been dealt with cleanly. If these troubles are not dealt with, both you and Zhili will be very sad. I am your man, and I am Zhili's father. These things, I should do it."

The Empress Dowager heard some clues from his words, and she felt inexplicably nervous. She no longer wanted to pretend to be reserved, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Look," he looked at the Queen Mother's reaction, and smiled with satisfaction, "You really still care about me."

"Brother Ji's son, you have seen the current Su Guogong." Yin Zhan said: "He is coming for me."

The queen mother's body suddenly trembled violently. It has been more than twenty years. After hearing this name, she still feels scared.

"That man Ji Heng..." She said: "I don't understand, I wanted to kill him all these years, but," she shook her head, "I couldn't kill him."

No matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman in the palace. Ji Heng is not an ordinary person, and it is not easy to kill him. At least the queen mother tried for many years, but never succeeded.

"I actually didn't want to kill him," Yin Zhan said, "but he already knew that his purpose was to kill me. If he didn't kill him, he would hurt Zhili. Rou Jia, I can't let this happen. Brother Ji's son is nothing like Brother Ji. Brother Ji is upright, upright and forthright, but his son is unscrupulous and scheming. He looks a lot like his mother."

The Queen Mother's body couldn't help but tremble again.

Yu Hongye, the name, had been her nightmare for a long time. She would not deliberately think of this person, but this person would always come into her mind uninvited.

Her wit, her cunning, her audacity, her rage and despair, curse and disbelief.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes abruptly.

"Roujia, don't be afraid, I came back just to solve this matter. Jiheng has been planning this matter for a long time. Since a long time ago, he supported Cheng Wang just to force me to come back. It's me If you don't show up, he will also attack you." Yin Zhan said: "Rou Jia, we have no other choice, are you afraid?"

He stared at the queen.

The Empress Dowager came up, a smile suddenly appeared, this smile was a bit contemptuous, a little mocking, and finally had some shadow of the Empress Dowager, she said: "From birth to now, I have never had any other choice, you ask me Don't be afraid, I understood it many years ago, is it useful to be afraid? Go ahead." She lowered her head, "I knew that such a day would come. Go and kill all those people, the world belongs to you, I It is yours too. If you die, I will die with you."

Yin Zhan smiled and said, "I won't die."

The queen mother looked at his face and said, "Remember what you said."

Yin Zhan kissed the queen mother, she stood stiffly, after Yin Zhan left, Mei Xiang pushed the door in and saw the queen mother slumped on the chair, her face pale.

"The Empress Dowager." Mei Xiang quickly came to help her, but before she reached the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager waved her hand to tell her not to approach.

She covered her heart, where the heart beat very fast.

She replied to Yin Zhan that she was not afraid, how could she not be afraid if she had the guts? They are like stubborn mice, dark, humble, and waiting for an opportunity. As early as many years ago, that sinking joy planted a curse, and this curse has been silent for many years. Now, it is time to erupt.

No one knows what the outcome will be.

...

Yin Zhan left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he took a detour, but he didn't realize that he entered the palace today to see the emperor, but actually came to see Lin Roujia, but now he can't be aboveboard, he can't cause trouble for Lin Roujia.

When he walked around the corridor in the palace and was about to go out of the palace, a person came in front of him, just blocking his way.

This man was dressed in red, with black butterflies embroidered on the edge of the red dress, black boots and a silver belt, and he was extraordinarily coquettish. He held a folding fan in his hand, even in winter, he couldn't leave his hand. His eyes were haunting, staring at Yin Zhan with a half-smile, and said, "Prince Xia."

"Duke Su." Yin Zhan stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Ji Heng. Back then, Ji Minghan was a well-known handsome man in Beiyan, and Ji Heng's mother was a world-renowned stunning beauty, worthy of being called a demon concubine. Now it seems that Ji Heng not only resembles Yu Hongye in temperament, but also inherits Yu Hongye's beauty in facial features. Regarding Ji Minghan, he didn't inherit much.

He said: "You and your father are really very different."

"But I look like my mother," Ji Heng said with a smile, "Yin Zhili and his mother are not very similar."

Yin Zhan laughed loudly, "A person's appearance is not something that can be clearly defined by likeness or dissimilarity."

"What King Xia said is true," Ji Heng said lightly, "King Xia knows my parents so well, no wonder they were friends back then."

Yin Zhan is a little complicated. He and Ji Minghan are truly brothers, and they have cherished each other. When Yu Hongye encountered someone in the brothel, Yin Zhan helped him because he knew what Ji Minghan was thinking. Solved several times. He and Ji Heng's parents are indeed friends, and they are sincere friends. If it wasn't for the accidental accident later, Ji Heng should have called him uncle, and he should have called Ji Heng his nephew.

Instead of being like this now, Ji Heng spoke to him in a frivolous, equal, and even concealed disdainful tone. Ji Heng was condescending, and he had mixed feelings.

"That's true." Yin Zhan said with a smile: "If your parents are still alive, they will be very pleased to see you now."

"Not everyone has the blessing of the prince's son." Ji Heng said with a smile.

Yin Zhan's face changed. On the surface, Yin Zhili's biological mother had passed away, but Ji Heng insisted on saying so... He really knew.

Although he had been prepared in his heart, Yin Zhan couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart when he heard Ji Heng say it.

"General Zhaode, don't be nervous." Ji Heng looked at him calmly, and said lightly, "It's only natural to pay debts, and it should be the same. No matter who it is, no one can escape. Isn't it?"

His ending sound cut through the air, and his cruel smile made one's heart chill.

Two consecutive emperors have been green...terrible
