I looked at the baby girl who was not yet full-term in my mother's arms. This little baby girl was very cute with pink makeup. I suddenly felt compassion and asked my mother: "Who is this?"
The mother sighed with tears: "This is the princess."
I was puzzled: "Princess?" Shouldn't the princess be in the palace? How could she be carried home by her mother when she was with the emperor and the queen?
"Both the emperor and the queen died during the turmoil, leaving only this poor baby girl alive. The southern country cannot keep it, so I will send someone to the northern country." The mother said these words hastily, and put the child in
I went out to arrange people on the bed.
I approached the bed and looked at this well-behaved child. She was still sleeping, frowning slightly, as if she was not happy even in her dream. Did she know that she had just lost her parents?
I reached out my hand and touched her face gently. She didn't notice it at all, and I quietly pursed my lips and smiled.
My mother came in with a woman. For some reason, when I saw that they were taking her away, I felt very reluctant and said, "Wouldn't it be better to stay in our house and raise her like my sister? It's not safe in the south.
Not to mention the Northern Kingdom”
The mother whispered: "The people of the Pingnan Xiao family have already caused chaos in the palace. They know that it was us, the Qinghe Xiao family, who rescued the little princess. They will not let us go. If the princess is here, it will only be more dangerous! Why?
The current plan is to send the princess to the Shen family in the Northern Kingdom. They are now very respected and wealthy. With them here, the princess will be safe."
I somewhat understood, it seemed like this was the case, but the people of the Xiao family in Pingnan were too bold! It was they who provoked the war between the six Xiao families, and when the southern country was already in turmoil, they actually went out for their own selfish desires.
How abominable it is to forget about the plan of rejuvenating the country!
Mother had already quietly left with the little princess in her arms. I followed them to the back door and asked anxiously: "Is it safe to cross the river at this time?" Mother glanced at me, then at the woman, and gritted her teeth.
He said: "No matter what, we must send it out. This is the only bloodline of our direct lineage of the Xiao family! If the princess cannot save her life, the Xiao family will surely perish!"
The woman nodded firmly and said: "Princess, don't worry, even if I risk my life, I will still save my little master's life!"
After that, they left, and I didn’t have any extra time to think about it because there were more important things waiting for me to do! As the prince of the Xiao family in Qinghe, I must shoulder the heavy responsibility of quelling the civil strife. I stayed up all night
Summoned all the Qinghe Xiao family's troops to prepare to fight against the Pingnan Xiao family
The Qinghe Xiao Clan and the Pingnan Xiao Clan are equally powerful, but if I unite with the other Xiao Clan, I will definitely win! Although they will not trust me, there is no king in the country at this time, so I decided to fight against him now.
They think they are snakes, and they will be killed one by one when the time comes!
Sure enough, after they listened to my "enticement", they joined me to fight against the Pingnan Xiao family. After success, I will disintegrate the rest of the Xiao family one by one. From then on, there will no longer be seven branch kings of the Xiao family, only
I am a acting king!
Although I was only eight years old that year
If my father hadn't died early, I think I would still be a child acting coquettishly in my mother's arms. My mother once said that growing up means danger. But for me, before I grow up, I have to shoulder the responsibility and courage.
I must find my princess, let her sit on the dragon chair behind me, inherit her parents' legacy, conquer the entire world, and let the Xiao family become the master of the world again.
Over the years, I have been paying attention to everything about the little princess. Because she has a high-ranking prime minister father, she lives a very good life in the North Kingdom and gets along well with several princes of the Northern Kingdom royal family. One of them is The emperor's favorite youngest son, when Prime Minister Shen and I were corresponding, he revealed his idea of making the princess the queen of the Northern Kingdom, so that he could conquer the world more easily and simply.
I am a little hesitant. Although this method is the easiest way, but... Although I am hesitant, Prime Minister Shen is trying his best to make arrangements. I can't control the situation in the North and can only let him arrange it.
But we didn't feel proud for long, because after the old emperor died and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, before we could react, the new emperor Chu Xichen had already uprooted the entire Shen family!
I was a little flustered. Have they already discovered the identity of Shen Xiang? Impossible! It has been well hidden for so many years. How could it be discovered? If discovered, why would the most important princess be left alive? What? Maybe the new emperor felt that Prime Minister Shen had too much power? The strange thing is that he recruited the princess into the palace and became a palace maid
I almost asked the dead soldiers from the North to rob the prison, but it seemed unnecessary, and the princess changed from a palace maid to a female official, and finally became the queen smoothly.
I think the princess must have something special about her, otherwise it wouldn't have gone so smoothly, so I should feel relieved. But I didn't expect that things that were supposed to be going smoothly would reach a deadlock so quickly. Chu Xichen was ruined. Princess, let the noble princess live in the cold palace! I can no longer stand by and watch, I decided to mobilize all the dead soldiers in the North Kingdom to rescue the princess from the cage and return to the South Kingdom!
That day I successfully brought the deceased to the princess. She stood there calmly, without panic or fear, just indifferently, frowning slightly and looking at us. Her frowning look suddenly reminded me of what I saw when I was a child. She looked so small then, and so beautiful now
When I was holding her and preparing to leave but met Chu Xichen, she whispered in my ear: "Let's go quickly." If she didn't hate this man, she just didn't want to stay here for another second.
We escaped from there. There was a guard who liked the princess. He not only let us go, but also saved Teacher Cui. His words before his death made the princess cry for a long time. He said: "If she dies, Ah Hu, you will be sad." Yes, I... don't want you to be sad."
But the princess was still sad for a long time. Later she said that she didn't want anyone to die because of her. She would rather the person who died was herself because she was the one who was alive and had to bear a lifetime of guilt and nostalgia. That feeling was worse than death. Still uncomfortable
I thought it would be difficult to explain her life experience to the princess, but fortunately, Teacher Cui had already told her something before, so after a brief resistance, she decided to accept the fact and when I took her back to the South Country, she was When I pulled out Wang Fengjian in front of everyone, I smiled with relief. She felt a little incredible, but she no longer doubted whether someone had lied to her.
She is the princess of the South, the little baby girl I held in my arms when I was seven years old.
I watched her slowly sit on the throne that had been empty for sixteen years, loyally knelt down to her, prostrated deeply, and together with the ministers shouted for a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years.
Your Highness, my princess, I swear to be loyal to you to the death!
In order to be able to assist His Highness wholeheartedly, I dismissed all the concubines in the palace, and even moved my residence into the palace, just to be able to protect the princess at any time, and to have a place to stay when I am still discussing state affairs after the curfew and cannot go home.
But the princess and I have always abided by the etiquette and never transgressed anything.
After getting along with each other, the princess is not only beautiful and noble, but also smart and strategic. She seems to be able to see the essence of things at a glance and respond well. I think she must be the savior of our Xiao family. With her, Xiao family can be saved.
Got it
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Unexpectedly, when the princess came back, she attracted the covetousness of the monarchs of the two northwest countries. I don't know how Ye Cangqiong of the Western Kingdom became interested in the princess, but that Chu Xichen, now eagerly chasing after her,
Why did he neglect the princess so much in the first place? Could it be that, for him, he knows how to cherish the lost dishes? But if he gets it so easily, he will not cherish the princess in the future!
The princess said that the child in her belly was not Chu Xichen's. For some reason, I was slightly happy when I heard that Chu Xichen had neglected the princess. This was his punishment!
When I lost the land of the Southern Kingdom and became a prisoner of Chu Xichen's subordinates, the princess was taken away by King Qi of the Western Kingdom. I didn't worry about anything. When I saw Chu Xichen's anxious expression, I calmed down again.
Yes, you shouldn't get the princess so easily!
Unexpectedly, Chu Xichen did not execute me, which made me happy, and I have been happy to see the princess again. She became the queen again, and brought her son back to become the queen!
I saw the child in her arms, and she asked me: "Is that you?"
I knew what she meant by asking, so I said calmly: "It's me." I was telling Chu Xichen that the child was his!
She sighed softly and said nothing more
So, I kept watching this child, watching him change from a prince to a prince, and then from a prince to an emperor! And my princess, she also changed from a queen to a queen mother.
It was another bright late spring, when all the buds of the willow trees turned into green leaves, the spring had faded and the crabapples were red. I held my little daughter’s hand and walked slowly outside the Qingning Palace surrounded by two rows of locust trees.
On the avenue that was blocked by no sunlight, my daughter raised her head and looked at the locust tree, and asked curiously: "Dad, what kind of flower is this? It smells so good, so beautiful!"
I smiled and said: "This is Sophora japonica, the favorite flower of the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
"oh"
When Ah Wu looked outside, I smiled and took my little daughter's hand and said to her: "This is my daughter Xiao Wanwan. She is only five years old this year. She came to the palace specially to meet the Queen Mother."
Ah Hu was stunned for a moment, smiled and waved to her daughter, and I said: "Her mother passed away very early, and Wei Chen hopes to raise her under the Queen Mother's knees."
Ah Hu looked at my little daughter carefully, nodded with a smile and said: "That's really the best thing, just to be the companion of the fourth princess."
I stood aside with a smile, staring at the Queen Mother curiously for a while, and then looked at me in confusion. I nodded slightly at her. I discovered the difference in this daughter very early. I thought she would be like me.
Like a princess, a colorful page opens in the harem of the entire empire.
