In May of the 12th year of Shenwei reign, Su Cong, the left Prime Minister of lingcang Empire, was very busy in front of the house. The red silk gauze was spread from the door to the lobby. The sound of drums and firecrackers was heard all the time. Su Cong and his wife Wang Shi stood at the door with a smile and looked at the vast group of horses coming from the red gauze.
when the group arrived at the front door of the palace after ten steps, Su Cong hurried to greet the first man in second-class civilian clothes and said with a smile, "it's hard, brother Wu. Please come to pick up the little girl in the palace yourself."
Wu Jie, the servant of the Ministry of rites, was also full of smiles and hurriedly returned the Rites: "what did Su Ge say? It's my little brother's blessing to welcome the lady of the imperial concubine to the palace. What's the hard work? Su Ge is too honest. "
Su Cong laughs and reaches out to let Wu step in. Wu step waves his hand and says, "old Su Ge, I'm going to take your mother to the palace according to the holy will. I dare not delay. If I miss the auspicious time, I can't afford it. I don't know if the lady is ready? If it's OK, why don't you get on the sedan? "
hearing this, Su Cong was no longer polite. He turned to the maid who was waiting on one side and said, "take the nannies in the palace to meet the young lady." The girl hurriedly led people into the inner courtyard. Su Cong said to Wu step with a smile: "I've been ready for your sedan chair, brother Wu. If you are going to do business today, I will not keep you. After the ceremony, you must come to my house and have a good drink. "
Wu Jie laughs: "old sugE, you say that you can't run this wine in any way."
the two men stood and talked a little more. They covered their heads with red. Su Chaoyan, a well-dressed Miss Su, came out in the crowd. As usual, he took his mother Wang's hand and said something he couldn't bear. He shed a few tears. Then he turned around and entered the sedan chair under the urging of Mammy.
the sound of drum music rises again. Firecrackers are set off along the street. Su's family has opened a running water table. No matter who comes, the merchants and the common people, the beggars and the local ruffians, they will sit down and eat. After eating, they will wipe their mouths and walk away. Naturally, there are dishes going up one by one. The running water table will be opened for three days from Chenshi to Shenshi every day.
Su Chaoyan is sitting in the sedan chair, feeling the soft and slight shaking of the waves of the sedan chair, and her delicate red lips are gently grinning in a radian: after a while, she enters the gate of the palace, and she is the imperial concubine, one person under the back palace, ten thousand people above. Today, there is no royal wedding, that is to say, once the ceremony is completed, she will become the real master of lingcang imperial palace. Thinking of it, her smile expanded a little.
in fact, although Su Chaoyan yearned for power, she didn't reach the fanatical level. The reason that made her laugh from the bottom of her heart was that one person, Xiao Nanyu, the real king of lingcang Empire, who would become her husband tonight.
Su Chaoyan still remembers the first time she saw Shenwei emperor. At that time, she was only 14 years old. She went to the cisu palace with her mother Wang's family to say hello to the Empress Dowager. While chatting with the empress dowager, the 17-year-old emperor also came to the cisu palace. She did not dare to look up at him in a hurry. She knelt down in a hurry to say hello. She even stepped on her skirt and almost fell to the ground. Just when she stumbled, someone held her up. She forgot the etiquette for a while, and only looked up gratefully to thank that person.
at that moment, however, all of a sudden, the wind and the clouds changed. Everything around her seemed to be changing into illusion. In the whole world, only the handsome young man in front of her with the spirit of Brawn was real. She looked at him crazily, with eyes full of satisfaction, only he, until her mother gently pulled her sleeve, she was shocked by her own gaffe. She has always had a warm personality and is rather delicate and reserved under the affection of her parents. At that moment, she even blushed.
it was the first time Su Chaoyan saw Xiao Nanyu, and the only time she saw him. But whenever she thought of that moment, the warm hand, the handsome youth, and the dreamlike scene, she could not help smiling.
from then on, she suddenly had no dissatisfaction with her father's arrangement of going to the palace. Instead of fighting, she had full expectation. She is no longer perfunctory to all kinds of teaching as before, but seriously follows the old women in the house to learn the needlework, to learn the manners of the big girls, to learn the book of women and the biography of the martyrs with her husband. She takes good care of herself every day, skin, makeup, accessories, and always shows her most beautiful appearance. Even her father was surprised at her transformation, but only she knew that there was a dream in her heart, a dream about that person. Today, the dream is finally coming true. She heard that the emperor looked at her paintings with admiration, and the people in the palace came to preach that she was appointed as the imperial concubine. She tried hard and hard to suppress her heart rate, and only herself secretly enjoyed the joy.
since the day when the auspicious day was set, she has been holding her fingers for several days. Although she often feels that time is passing slowly in terms of her character, she has never felt that it is so slow, as if it is frozen. And this day, finally let her wait, she, will become Xiao Nanyu's wife.
in fact, Su Chaoyan is just one of Xiao Nanyu's concubines. In a country, only later can she be regarded as the emperor's wife. However, I don't know if Su Chaoyan deliberately forgot it. In a word, she completely ignored it.
when Su Chaoyan indulged in the yearning for a better future, behind all the bustling crowds in Su's mansion, a girl in her twenties and threes angrily put her bowl on the table and said unfairly, "what's the bird's nest soup? Light is worse than water. Miss, are you so bullied by them? "
at the table, a thin girl with a gentle face smiled and took a sip of the soup. In a soft voice, she said, "well, it's not as bad as you said."
"miss!" The little girl pouted and lengthened her voice, "that's what you are. You don't have to fight for anything, so that those people don't take you as their master. Obviously, they are all the daughters of the Su family. However, if there's a gap, it's not like that." The girl stopped for a moment, as if she was hesitating about whether to say the following words. She thought about it or said: "look, the lady who plays gongs and drums will be sent to the palace to be a concubine, but what about you? Two days ago, I heard the sisters in my wife's room say that the master and my wife discussed. As long as you are 17 years old, you will be sent to the Minister of the Ministry of military as the fourth room. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of military has been more than 50 years old. You... "
"jin'er!" The gentle woman snapped, "it's not up to you to interrupt what my father decided!" After a pause, he seemed to feel that his voice was too harsh, and then he said softly, "jin'er, you are still young. There are some things you don't understand. I know you are good for me, but as a woman, there are some things we can't do ourselves. When I bought you back, although you don't remember what happened before, I can see that you are not a child of a small family. Before I get married, I'll find a way to send you out first. It's enough to be a concubine with me. I can't match you for nothing. I don't have much money, but I will give it all to you before I send you away. After you go out, you should try to recover your memory and find your former relatives. Do you hear me? "
"Miss, if jin'er doesn't leave, she should always follow her and protect her." Jin'er's eyes are red. She pours on Su mu, the second miss of Su family, and holds her arm and sits on the chair. Although she has been with Su Muyan for less than three years, Su Muyan's kindness and kindness have made her take her as her sister.
Su Muyan touched jin'er's head with another hand, and sighed, "silly boy, be obedient."
when jin'er is silent, Su Muyan looks out of the door and listens to the hot blows in the front yard, but she doesn't even have the right to go out and have a look. Su Muyan laughs and laughs at herself. Yes, her sister, Feng Guangguang, is married to the palace as a concubine, but she is going to be a concubine in the fourth room for an old man in her fifties who is half buried in the earth. How can she be indifferent? But what can she do?
although Su Cong has many concubines, in fact, there are not many children, only Su Muyan and Su Chaoyan. The reason for this result is that Wang's method is powerful. Before Su Muyan, except for Wang's own daughter, none of Su Cong's concubines had any children. Although Su Cong was dissatisfied, Wang's father was the Prime Minister of the dynasty. He had to be angry and dare not speak.
as for Su Muyan's mother, she was just a scampering maid at that time, which didn't attract Wang's attention. She was thin again, and only five months after she was pregnant did she show a little belly, which was discovered by Wang. Su Cong cares about the child and hopes to be a boy, so he gives extra protection, which makes Su Muyan born smoothly. Seeing that it was a girl, Su Cong immediately left, never seeing Su Muyan's mother again.
Su Muyan's mother was weak after childbirth, and she was lack of recuperation. When Su Muyan was four years old, she could not hold up any longer and died. Since then, Su Muyan has been growing tenaciously in the situation of half servant and half master. Because it's a girl, Wang's face is not good, but he doesn't want to be embarrassed. Anyway, there's no more mouth for dinner in Xiangfu. Su Muyan stumbles all the way here. He has seen all kinds of faces and suffered all kinds of grievances before he finally lives to the age of 15. However, this also fostered her weak disposition, because only in this way can she survive.
sometimes she will think that if she can be like jin'er and suddenly she can't remember anything, maybe it's not a good thing. Jin'er on her shoulder was silent. Su Muyan turned to look at it. The child was probably tired of crying and even breath. She fell asleep. Su Muyan smiled gently, but did not move her body, so she slept on her back.
his eyes turned to the door again. This time, he didn't see anything. It seemed that there was no focus in his eyes. After a while, weariness gradually came, and her eyes began to blur.
in the blur, she vaguely saw a shadow. The shadow was dressed in a light blue dress, with the back of the ape and the waist of the bee. She was strong and symmetrical, with the back facing him. As she came closer, the shadow began to turn slowly. At the beginning, she could not see it clearly. But when she came to a distance of only five steps from the shadow, the shadow suddenly
