Chapter 33 It's better to miss each other than to see each other

Entering the North Garden, where the flowers and trees are withered, the eldest princess falls into the whirlpool of memories.

Because of her mother, she was sent here from the age of five, and when she was fourteen years old, she was canonized as a princess and left, and lived in seclusion in this north garden for ten years......

Her mother's name is Cao Luoying, and she is the beloved daughter of Cao Cha, the prefect of Fujian Sanming, who is knowledgeable and beautiful. After being elected to the palace, he was deeply favored by Emperor Jiajing, and soon became a concubine and gave birth to the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Chang'an. Three years later, she gave birth to Ning An.

But in the twenty-first year of Jiajing, the famous 'Renyin Palace Change' occurred.

In order to seek immortality, Emperor Jiajing, under the bewitchment of Fang Shi, collected a large number of menstrual blood alchemy pills from thirteen or fourteen-year-old palace maids. In order to keep these palace maids clean, they are not allowed to eat during menstruation, they can only eat some mulberry leaves and drink some dew like silkworm babies, and whoever dares to disobey will be immediately executed.

The palace maids were miserable and unbearable, and finally under the leadership of a girl named Yang Jinying, more than a dozen people sneaked into the Yikun Palace where the emperor stayed that night, and choked Jiajing's neck while he was asleep.

Jiajing woke up from his dream and was about to shout, but someone gagged him with a cloth. The palace maids controlled the emperor, covered his face with a yellow silk rag, and then took out the rope sleeve prepared in advance, wrapped Emperor Jiajing's neck, and then pulled hard together.

It's a pity that the palace maids actually tied the rope in a dead knot in a panic, and they couldn't strangle him to death. The palace maids were anxious, so they pulled out their hairpins and hairpins, and stabbed Jiajing indiscriminately, piercing the emperor into a blood gourd......

At this time, Concubine Cao Duan and Concubine Wang Ning, who were sleeping in the bed, screamed in fright, and finally alarmed the eunuchs and guards outside and took down the palace maids who committed the murder. When Empress Fang heard the news, Jiajing had already become a bloody person with inlet but no breath, she hurriedly ordered the imperial doctor to rescue her, and ordered people to torture these palace maids.

Although the result of the interrogation was that Concubine Cao Duan did not know, Empress Fang had always been jealous of her special pet in the pepper room, and insisted that the emperor would spend the night at Concubine Duan's place, she must have known, and then took advantage of the emperor's unconscious to order Concubine Cao Duan and Concubine Wang Ning to be executed together in the palace, and implicated more than ten people belonging to the two clans.

Jiajing didn't die, and it didn't take long for him to wake up. Knowing that Concubine Cao Duan was killed by Empress Fang under the pretext of being killed, he couldn't help it, so he had to let Shen Guifei adopt her two daughters.

But after the death of Concubine Cao Duan, who in the harem is not afraid of Queen Fang? Especially after the palace change, Emperor Jiajing did not dare to live in the Forbidden City, left the concubines in the harem, and moved to Xiyuan alone. This harem has completely become the world of Queen Fang alone, she naturally wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill the two evil seeds left by Concubine Cao Duan.

Although Shen Guifei's status was only below the queen at that time, she didn't dare to raise her sisters by her side, so she casually found an excuse to send them to Baiyun Temple and asked her brother to raise them on her behalf.

Shen Guifei's brother is Lord Shen Guan, and he reluctantly took the two hot potatoes and placed the sisters in this north garden.

~~

In the winding stone forest path, the eldest princess of Ning'an not only seemed to be talking to Liu Shanggong, but also seemed to be talking to herself:

"A few years later, my sister who depended on each other also died, leaving this palace alone, growing up alone in this north garden, year after year, no one cared about it......"

"How did Your Highness survive those days?" Liu Shanggong was sent to Ning An after Empress Fang's death, she knew Ning An's past, but it was the first time she heard her talk so carefully, and she couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"When spring comes, I plant flowers and trees. Don't look at me like this, a small half of the flowers and trees in this garden are planted in this palace. Princess Ning'an said quietly, but her eyes were fixed on the foot of a stone mountain in front of her.

"It was there that spring, that I met him......"

After saying that, she couldn't help but go around the frozen lake and come to the octagonal pavilion under the stone mountain.

In the three parks of the east, west and north of this small Penglai, there is an artificial stone mountain built in each, symbolizing the three sacred mountains of Taoism. Under the stone mountain of this north park, there is a pavilion called 'Yuxian Pavilion', there are exquisite murals of eight immortals crossing the sea, and there are two couplets hanging on the pillars, one is 'riding the wind and waves to drive the flying boat, each showing its magic power to swim in the sea', and the other is 'borrowing to ask the eight immortals where to go, and the laughter answers to Yingzhou'.

The eldest princess of Ning'an looked at the murals and couplets fixedly, and somehow, she burst into tears.

Liu Shanggong was afraid that the eldest princess would be too sad and hurt her body, so he hurriedly followed up and comforted her, so he persuaded the eldest princess who was crying to leave.

When the figures of the two disappeared into the stone forest, behind the pillars of the Immortal Pavilion, a low call suddenly came.

"Ning'an ......"

Zhao Shouzheng showed his figure with tears on his face.

In his hand, he held a semicircular jade pendant tightly, and the two small seals engraved on the jade pendant were the word 'Ning'an'.

Zhao Shouzheng came to Xiao Penglai today to pay his respects, and it was the unforgettable first love buried in this North Park......

His eyes were already shallow, but when he saw the eldest princess crying with pear blossoms and rain, he also wiped his tears in the hiding place.

Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but show his figure, wipe away her tears like he did back then, but his feet were nailed there as if they were rooted, and he couldn't move at all.

Because he has to think about the consequences of doing so.

Zhao Shouzheng knew that although the world was declining in this dynasty and women's morality was declining, the requirements for the princess in terms of honor and honor were still extremely high.

The little girl he comforted back then is now the eldest princess on the top, and she is also a widowed eldest princess.

If people see her having a private tryst with another man, Ning Anke's reputation will be ruined.

On the other hand, after a year of beating, Zhao Shouzheng is no longer the nerd who doesn't care.

He knew that he was no longer alone, that he was still the son of his father, the father of his son.

Everyone pinned their hopes on him, and he couldn't ruin his future and let his father and son down because of his whimsical willfulness......

What about meeting? It's just adding to the troubles. Why don't you pretend that nothing happened and continue with the peaceful days......

It's good for both of you.

But the right choice often brings pain. Zhao Shouzheng felt at this moment that he was about to be suffocated by the sadness and loss.

Ning An is back, let's talk......

~~

He waited in Yuxian Pavilion for a long time, and thought that the eldest princess should have already driven back to the palace, so he cautiously found out of the North Garden and hid in the corridor to overlook the Moon Gate.

Seeing that the brocade guards guarding the door really withdrew, Zhao Shouzheng finally relieved himself and quickly fled and left Baiyun Temple.

Outside the Baiyun Temple, everyone in the same year was about to go crazy, and it was easy to wait for the princess's honor guard to leave, and then they had to go in to find their brother.

saw Zhao Shouzheng coming out of the mountain gate.

The hearts of the people who were hanging finally fell back into their stomachs, and they hurriedly surrounded them.

Seeing the same year, the corners of Zhao Shouzheng's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"Pretending to be lame, sir." Fang Wen suddenly appeared to support him. "Let's just pull it to the crotch and find a place to rest for a while."

"You kid is a thief enough......" Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but his heart immediately tightened, and he looked at Fang Wen and said, "Fang Cai, have you seen it all?" ”

"The villain didn't see anything, and the villain just found the master." Fang Wen said busily.

"Say the same to the young master?" Zhao Shouzheng still didn't worry about asking.

"Say that to everyone." Fang Wen nodded.

"Good boy." Zhao Shouzheng breathed a sigh of relief.
