Hello Chang'an Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Don't let her run away

At that time, my father was in his prime and in power. He was no longer the young and panicked new king when he first came to the throne, and he was still far away from being old, weak and sick.

He was in the best age of an emperor, and he only had the prince, leaving aside the eldest son who died young, and there were five more.

The emperor's eldest son was born to the queen and unfortunately died young.

Among the remaining five princes, the biological mother of the second prince is the noble imperial concubine. The imperial concubine's father was an official at that time and was the right minister revered by everyone.

Although the third prince she beat was not as good as the second prince, he was chosen by the queen when he was two years old and has been raised by the queen's side. The queen regards him as her own.

Her younger brother, the Fourth Prince Li Xiao, was only born to a young talented person. This talented person was promoted to concubine only after giving birth to her and her younger brother.

There were two younger princes under his younger brother, one of whom was Li Bing, who later ascended the throne but was deposed.

At that time, not long after the mother-in-law was promoted to concubine, there happened to be a severe drought in Shu, and someone with ulterior motives implicated the drought in her body. It was said that when Hui-concubine gave birth to twins, the sky was gloomy and thunderous, fearing that It's an ominous sign—

Although her father refuted this as nonsense, the rumors continued in the palace, and in the following years, his father did not call his mother and concubine to sleep with her again.

The mother-in-law took her and her brother to live in a remote place closest to the Elephant Garden. When the weather was hot, no matter how much incense the palace people smoked, they could not dispel the annoying mosquitoes and smell.

Her younger brother was born weak and sickly, which made her worried and tormented. In her memory, her mother-in-law rarely cried at that time, but she never smiled either.

This happened until she was eight years old.

—That was the year she dressed up as her younger brother and beat up the third prince.

That day, when the third prince pointed at her and complained, the father didn't have much expression on his face. Instead, he said to the third prince: "Li Yi, you should have a longer memory. When you bully others with a little strength, you will It's time to think about today.”

The third prince's lips moved when he heard this, and he did not dare to say any more.

Father then looked at her again—

He didn't mention a word about "she" beating someone, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes: "It seems that Xiao'er's body is much healthier, and she is energetic. It's very good. This is how my prince should be."

This is how my prince should be.

She didn't know at that time that these words would change her life, but she didn't dare to expose the lie, so she suppressed her voice, imitating her brother's tone in the past, and said with some fear: "Thank you, father."

That night, the father entered the residence of his mother and concubine for the first time.

After her father left, her mother called her to him.

As early as after she came back, the mother-in-law already knew about her pretending to be her younger brother to beat people, so she asked the palace officials to take care of her, so they had no time to see her.

She was still wearing her brother's robe. When she stood in front of her mother and concubine, she thought that her mother and concubine would punish her severely.

But the mother-in-law just looked at her and said softly: "Ah Shang, this robe really suits you very well."

There seemed to be some hope and sadness in the mother-in-law's usually desolate eyes: "You have always liked fists, kicks and sticks, saying you want to protect Ah Xiao, but fists and kicks alone are not enough... Now, you have a chance, you can become Ah Xiao You are willing to protect him, right?"

She was puzzled: "Why...must I become Ah Xiao?"

"Because Axiao is a prince." The mother-in-law looked at her, squatted down, held her small shoulders, and explained seriously: "Although Dasheng had an empress, but that was in As long as there is no prince in the palace, the right time, place and people are indispensable...and your father now has five princes, so he will not pay attention to the princess. Even though you are smart and capable, he has never looked at you? "

She couldn't help but be startled.

Yes.

My father spoke to her today because "she is Axiao."

She was inexplicably uneasy: "But mother-in-law, this is not fair."

"Fairness..." The mother-in-law raised the corner of her mouth in a rare move, like a smile, but like a sarcasm: "People are born with high and low status, how can there be fairness?"

As the concubine spoke, she gently touched her cheek with her hand. Her fingers were cold and her tone was a little sad: "You and Ah Xiao are twins, but you were born extremely healthy, but he is so sick and weak... so what?" Is it fair?"

Under her mother's gaze, she felt guilty for this - just as she had overheard her mother-in-law and wet nurse say: "If the bodies of the two siblings had changed... life might not be so difficult." ”

Just like every time Axiao was sick, the mother-in-law always seemed to have something in her eyes that she couldn't understand.

She got a good and healthy body, as if it was a fault, as if she had snatched it from Ah Xiao.

Little children don't know how to distinguish too much, and before the word "self" has sprouted, they are already full of guilt and guilt.

So, faced with the "opportunity" her mother said, she willingly accepted it.

She wanted to "make up" for her "mistakes", she wanted to make her mother-in-law happy, and she wanted to have what her mother said could protect her younger brother better than fists and feet.

So, she put on the robe obediently.

Later, the robes turned into armor - at that time, the country was in turmoil, and the war was a real war, a war that had to be fought. Faced with such a war and the fierce alien race, no prince dared to "experience" it, and This is her best choice.

Day after day, year after year.

She fought many victorious battles and achieved many military exploits, so much so that when her father appointed "Li Xiao" as the crown prince, there was actually very little opposition in the court.

Later, the armor was removed and turned into a wedding dress.

That wedding dress belonged to her mother-in-law, no, the mother-in-law had become her mother-in-law—it was her mother-in-law who sent it to her.

"A Shang... In three years, at most three years, Aniang will definitely welcome you back to Dasheng, and everything will be fine by then."

Grandma.

The queen mother actually called herself A Niang.

That is such an intimate and warm title. Just reading these two words in the heart makes people feel at ease, as if they have found a home in the storm, and will no longer be afraid or sad.

But to her, the most beautiful existence in the world has become a sharp blade.

That sharp blade is different from the open swords and hidden arrows on the battlefield.

And she didn't hide away.

But it hurt too much and she no longer wanted A Niang.

Then return everything to the other party. This is the last time, it is enough to pay off, and she finally paid off.

It's really nice to not feel guilty anymore.

Even when she was dying, she felt her breathing was smooth.

She took a long breath and opened her eyes.

Chang Suining sat up and saw that it was already bright in the room. She lightly hit her aching head with her hand.

"The girl finally woke up!" Xi'er came over, brought a cup of warm water, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The girl has been sleeping for a day and a night...but you can't drink this wine in the future."

Chang Suining took the tea cup and drank it down first, then asked Xi'er: "Who rescued me after I fell into the water yesterday?"

The vague memory in her mind only stayed at the moment she fell into the water.

"The girl swam up by herself..."

Chang Suining said "Ah", and then Shang Jue nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of her.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to fall into the water while drunk, you can regain some face by getting to the shore on your own after falling into the water.

"But when the girl fell into the water, General A Dian was still far away. The general and Governor Cui happened to come over, and Governor Cui jumped into the water to save the girl..." Xi'er said, her voice lowered: " But the girl somehow managed to beat Governor Cui in the water.”

Chang Suining: "?"

Cui Jing went into the water to save her, but she beat Cui Jing?

This sounds so outrageous: "...Why did I hit him?"

"My maid doesn't know either..." Xi'er looked at his girl: "Have you forgotten everything?" Chang Suining looked silently at his sinful hands and his drunken body.

It is not easy to completely tame this picked up body.

"But...when did the girl learn to swim?" Xi'er was curious.

Chang Sui Ning, who was in a complicated mood, responded calmly: "I don't know."

It doesn't matter, people with broken brains are like this.

Xi'er suddenly said: "My servant knows!"

Chang Suining: "?"

Can she know this?

"It's just like a girl learning to ride and shoot. You'll know it immediately after giving it a try!" Xi'er said with a proud look on her face: "Since the girl's brain accident, she is gifted in everything she learns now!"

Seeing the little girl who had explained everything to her on her own, Chang Sui Ning was silent and only felt relieved.

very good.

This is the benefit of being a wizard.

And being a genius with a broken brain is even more invincible - under this premise, no matter how outrageous things are, it will become reasonable.

"It's my fault that I didn't stop the girl from drinking in time..." Xi'er said guiltily: "The girl has never drank wine before, so I don't know how much she drinks. Yesterday I saw her drinking fruit wine and she was very angry. Feeling like he has something to conquer, he mistakenly believes that the girl is also gifted in drinking..."

Chang Suining suddenly retched.

Xi'er hurriedly patted her on the back: "What's wrong, girl?"

Chang Suining suppressed the turbulent feeling: "Maybe the word "wine" in your words just now was too dense. It sounded dizzy..."

As he spoke, he felt like vomiting again.

Xi'er said repeatedly: "That servant will never say anything again!"

The girl was probably drunk and injured this time... shouldn't she even be able to smell the smell of alcohol in the future?

"Then Commander Cui...were you injured by me?" Chang Sui Ning paused before he even bothered to ask Cui Jing.

"There seems to be a bruise here..." Xi'er pointed to the corner of her mouth: "But it's okay, it's just a skin injury."

Chang Sui Ning sighed silently: "That's very unfair."

As her mind came back, she roughly remembered some fragmentary scenes, including the motive for hurting people at that time - she was drunk and mistakenly mistook Cui Jing for the enemy.

While talking, Chang Suining, who was sitting on the head of the bed, touched something on the pillow with his finger and picked it up. He saw it was a white jade auspicious cloud hairpin -

She looked confused: "Where did this come from?"

"You pulled this off Governor Cui's head..." Xi'er said with some embarrassment: "You pulled this out to use it against Governor Cui, and used it as a dagger. Later, after landing on the shore, you kept it tight. He held it in his hand and refused to let go.”

Chang Suining looked at the bed tent above his head worriedly.

After a moment, he said as if he was swearing: "I will never drink alcohol again in the future."

She didn't like the feeling that she was not under her control, it would make her uneasy - this time it would be embarrassing, but if she didn't protect it next time, she would lose her life.

"What time is it now?" Chang Suining suddenly thought of something and asked Xi'er hurriedly.

"Back to you girl, it's almost noon."

Chang Suining felt a little regretful: "I made an agreement with my brother last night to go out to the city this morning to pay tribute—"

Wouldn't that be breaking your promise?

"But Mr. Lang is still drunk. It is said that he ate some rice when he got up early in the morning, and fell asleep again after eating."

Chang Suining: "...That's good."

Her brother was too drunk to wake up and broke his promise to her, so she chose the former.

"Sui Ning is awake?" At this time, Chang Kuo's voice came from outside the room.

Chang Sui Ning puts on his clothes and gets out of bed.

Chang Kuo was still wearing official robes when he walked in. It was obvious that he had come to see his daughter just after the morning court: "Just wake up... You kid, you scared daddy yesterday!"

"Does your head hurt?"

"You don't need to worry about Governor Cui. You didn't do it intentionally. He is not a narrow-minded person... When I find the opportunity, I will hold a banquet to make amends with him, and the matter will be revealed."

"But it's really not good to drink too much wine in the future. It's better to ensure safety." - Whether it's your own or someone else's.

After listening to what Chang Kuo said, Chang Suining nodded and came down.

"By the way, there is one more thing..." Chang Kuo looked at his daughter curiously: "After Sui Ning swam up from the pond yesterday, she said something to my father... cunning, what did you leave to my father? What did you mean?"

Chang Suining: "..."

Well, he didn't catch even one of the most important words.

Chang Kuo looked at her as if scratching his heart.

This thing always lingers in his mind. He can't tell how he feels. It seems that once he misses it, he will miss something very important...

He has been thinking about this all morning!

As for those people who were arguing so loudly over who should take over the post of Minister of Rites, he didn't even listen.

Chang Suining pretended to think for a while and shook his head: "I don't remember either... I think it was just drunken nonsense, dad doesn't need to care."

Chang Kuo could only nod after hearing this.

However, the inexplicable sense of urgency in my heart still cannot be completely dispelled.

He was struggling to remember. Chang Sui Ning was afraid that he would remember, so he changed the subject and asked, "Dad, was it true that Governor Cui wasn't angry yesterday?"

"Don't worry, he seems to be a difficult person to get along with, but in fact he is the most sensible person." Chang Kuo said, suddenly frowning and said: "But... the tricks Sui Ning used yesterday seemed quite ruthless to me. , How did Lao Chu think of teaching you this?”

Chang Suining blinked: "This..."

"Good teaching!" Chang Kuo smiled brightly: "This is what you need to learn to learn kung fu! The fancy fists and embroidered legs are useless, but you need to learn some killing moves to defend yourself!"

Chang Sui would rather smile than say a word.

Early the next morning, the Chang family brothers and sisters went out of the city to pay homage to Mrs. Chang's tomb.

When burning the paper, Chang Sui'an couldn't help but shed a few tears in front of the tomb.

In the spring, the grass and trees were dense. Not far away, there was a figure looking through the gaps in the grass and trees at the scene in front of the tomb. Seeing the back of the young man wiping his tears, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Unexpectedly, this sigh ruined everything.

The next moment, she suddenly saw the girl who was standing in front of the grave pouring wine turn her head, and then without waiting for her to react, the wine bottle in the girl's hand flew straight towards her!

The person hiding behind the grass shrank his pupils and quickly avoided it.

And when he dodged, his figure was exposed.

"Quick, don't let her run away!"
