"Xia Sanqi, the moon sinks into the hook, the curtain rolls on the Weiyang Building. The cool night, the river and the Han cut off the sky, and the palace locks the Qingqiu."
In the humble palace, the little girl was holding a book and reading poetry, her voice was clear and childish.
Mammy took the sun-dried quilt into the hall and spread it on the cave.
"Princess, cough cough—" Just as he was about to say something, the sound of coughing chokes his throat.
The little girl hurriedly put down the book, "Mommy, you're coughing again."
"Old slave is alright, alright."
Looking at this nine-year-old Princess Jiahe, Mammy could only swallow the grief in her heart.
Princess Jiahe's mother-in-law was originally a woman from a common people's family. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was favored by the emperor who visited her in private. The emperor brought back the innocent woman, who temporarily favored the harem.
Later, when Princess Jiahe was born, the emperor was overjoyed and promoted her mother and concubine to a noble concubine.
But the tree attracts the wind, and the imperial concubine without the support of the mother family has become a thorn in the eyes of everyone. Those people step by step design, so that the young imperial concubine is neglected by the emperor, and finally turns into disgust.
In this harem, the concubine who had no family to rely on and lost her favor was bullied, and the woman who suffered physical and mental torture died soon after, leaving only the little princess.
At the beginning, the emperor would still pity the young daughter, but where would the emperor lack children
With the birth of princes and princesses one after another, and some people interfering with them, slowly, the little princess was forgotten in this remote palace.
Although she bears the title of master, her life is not even comparable to that of the harem's favorite concubine.
People in the palace used to meet the wind, and even the palace maids and eunuchs were transferred away, leaving only Princess Jiahe and her mama.
Originally, the mother also wanted to ask the emperor to be the master of the little master. The emperor only gave a few words, but it didn't take long.
Mammy finally realized that human nature is cold and frail, and did not dare to take the lead again. She just wanted to guard the little princess peacefully and help her grow up.
"Mommy, drink water." Fortunately, Princess Jiahe was sensible and not arrogant.
Mammy fell ill, but no one healed her.
Princess Jiahe was unaware that an autumn banquet was being held in the palace, because Mammy fell ill.
Princess Jiahe only remembered that there was a doctor Li in the imperial hospital who was a warm-hearted person. She went to her and invited the doctor to come.
Seeing the desolation here, Imperial Physician Li sighed again and again when he remembered the scenery of the imperial concubine.
With the help of Imperial Physician Li, Mammy's illness finally improved.
It was very lively outside, and Imperial Doctor Li said, "It's an autumn banquet!"
Princess Jiahe yearned for it.
She also wanted to go to that lively place.
The little princess was bored alone, and when she heard lively voices, she always looked into the distance.
But she remembered what Mammy said, not to run around at will, so the little princess had to stay outside the palace, squatting on the ground and playing with stones.
"Yeah!" A person suddenly jumped off the big rock in front, making her fall to the ground in fright.
Shi Yi jumped down from a height, but didn't notice that there was a little girl here.
Seeing that she was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, Shi Yi stretched out his hand and pulled the person up easily. Men and women are not seated at the age of seven, but he grew up on the border since he was a child. He only returned to the capital with his father not long ago, and he has not yet learned the style of crepe.
"Are you the little palace maid?" Seeing that the little girl was dressed plainly and had no servants by her side, he guessed which palace's little palace maid it was.
Princess Jiahe blinked, but did not immediately reveal her identity.
Instead, he asked him, "Who are you?"
The little boy raised his eyebrows, "My name is Shi Yi, what's your name?"
Princess Jiahe had never seen someone with such a forthright temper. She felt inexplicably cordial, raised a smile involuntarily, and told him her name, "Yu Zhiyi."
Yu was her mother's surname.
"What are you doing here?"
"Play."
"What's so fun about stones?"
"I don't know." She just couldn't find anything else fun.
Shi Yi lives on the border, and after returning to the capital, all the people he meets are grown-up elders or maids. After entering the palace, he sees those gorgeously dressed people, colorful, and his eyes are full of flowers!
When he ran out of the autumn banquet, the first person he met was Yu Zhiyi. His simple clothes and fair face made his eyes shine.
Shi Yi only felt that he had never seen such a soft and glutinous little girl before, she was stupid, and it was very interesting!
Without saying a word, his stomach growled.
Yu Zhi heard clearly and asked simply, "Are you hungry?"
Shi Yi touched his stomach and pretended to be exaggerating, "Yeah, no one feeds me, I'm starving to death."
Yu Zhi believed it to be true and thought he was being bullied too, and suddenly felt that he was even more pitiful than himself, so he waved to him, "Come with me."
Shi Yi regarded this unfamiliar place as an adventure, but he didn't expect that this little palace maid would take him into an unmanned palace, took a plate of cakes from the table, and pushed him generously, "I'll give it to you."
Although Shi Yi still doesn't understand the rules of the palace, he also knows that things can't be taken indiscriminately. Holding the plate of pastries, he asked suspiciously, "Whose thing is this?"
Yu Zhiyi hesitated, "Well... Princess Jiahe's."
"Can you take the princess's things casually?"
"Princess Jiahe rewarded me."
"Are you the little palace maid of Princess Jiahe?"
Yu Zhiyi rolled his eyes, "Hmm... Right."
But the little princess didn't know that the man's appetite was different from hers, and Shi Yi couldn't get enough after eating a plate of cakes.
Yu Zhi opened his eyes and stared at the empty plate, and shook his head, "What should I do, I have nothing left."
"I know there's a lot of delicious food in one place, I'll take you there!" Shi Yi volunteered, dragged her and ran out.
The few cakes he had eaten just now were cold and hard, not as sweet as the good ones he had tasted before. Shi Yi planned to take her to the autumn banquet, and then quietly brought her some delicious food.
But he didn't want to. Hearing the sound of silk and bamboo from a distance, Yu Zhi stood still.
"I can't go in."
Shi Yi thought she was afraid and didn't force it, so he had an idea, "I still know a place!"
The second place is the imperial dining room.
This place does not have those terrible empresses, and the little princess does not reject it.
The imperial kitchen went in and out, all busy preparing for the autumn feast. The two saw the opportunity to sneak in and hide in the corner.
Yu Zhiyi had never experienced it before, but now he finds it interesting.
The cake disappeared for no reason, and the astute cook quietly waved his hand to surround the two little people.
The corner of the little girl's mouth rubbed against the cake, and she realized that after being caught, she hid her hands behind her at a loss.
The royal chef recognized her, "Princess Jiahe."
Shi Yi was shocked, "Are you... the princess?"
It was only later that Shi Yi realized that the newly-acquainted training was not a little palace maid, but a princess.
But it is the least favored one.
Spring and autumn come, time flies.
The low-key little princess grew up slowly in her own small palace and looked good.
The willow waist is slender, slim, and serene and refined.
"I'm a little sleepy, I want to rest, mammy, let's go out first." Her voice was sweet and comforting.
After Mommy left, Yu Zhiyi didn't fall asleep and went out secretly. Carefully closing the door, she looked around but saw no one.
When she turned around, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Looking for me?"
"You're scaring me again!" Yu Zhiyi's eyes widened, and the big black eyes were full of aura.
Back then, Shi Yi had met her in the Pian Palace, and knew that she was an unloved princess. Instead of alienating her, she took advantage of the time she entered the palace to come to her.
No one comes here on weekdays, instead it is free.
When Shi Yi grew up, he started bringing things in for her. It's not any valuables, it's all food with different tastes, and she can accept this kind of thing calmly.
But after she got used to this way of communication, Shi Yi began to give her some accessories for women. At first she refused to accept it, so Shi Yi left the things here.
She said, "If you do this, I won't come out to see you next time!"
"Are you sure? No one will tell you folk stories in the future, no one will bring you interesting text books from outside the palace, and you won't be able to eat the signboard of Haizhen Tower..."
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
Well, she is the weaker one.
When the little princess was depressed, Shi Yi directly took her hand and put the item in her hand, "Anyway, whether you accept it or not, I will give it to you."
Shi Yi's few words made her speechless.
Although she lives in the palace as a princess, she is not as good as some ordinary people, and she doesn't even have silver taels by her side.
She made embroidery in the palace, and then asked Shi Yi to take it out of the palace. Part of the money she earned was used to buy silk materials, and part of it was used to supplement her living.
It is because of Shi Yi's help that she can live better.
Shi Yi didn't make fun of her, but acted stubbornly.
Yu Zhi thought of a way to repay him, but the jewelry couldn't be given away, and the only one who could get it and could use it as a gift was Nvhong.
So, I made a pair of shoes for him at that time in return.
After that, Shi Yi fell in love with this way of giving gifts, and asked her to make shoes and socks, and even clothing.
However, she has not agreed to the latter request.
The man in the blue brocade clothes hid his right hand behind his back and moved forward slowly.
When Yu Zhi noticed his small movements, his head tilted, "What did you bring this time?"
Shi Yi put his hand on her forehead and didn't show it to her, "Of course it's a good thing, but it can't be given for nothing, how about you? What can you give me?"
The little princess lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow, "How can anyone... ask for gifts from others."
Others may be euphemistic, but Shi Yi has always been straightforward in front of her, "Isn't it me?"
This man really is! Don't be ashamed!
But she didn't dare to come up with the thing she was making. She hesitated, and finally told him, "There is no gift."
"One by one, I remember the last time I received a gift, it was a month ago." Shi Yi pinched her face, with calluses on her fingertips, and touched the delicate and smooth face of the little princess. Feel.
In an instant, the little princess's cheeks were crimson, she turned her head to avoid her, panicked, "No, you can't do this."
Shi Yi grinned, changed hands, and handed the gift, "Rouge, for you."
The patterns on the rouge box are exquisite and beautiful, and Yu Zhi likes it at first glance.
"How much did this cost?" she asked.
"Forget it, I bought it casually." Shi Yi also acted casually.
Yu Zhi was half convinced, but couldn't confirm it, because she had been staying in the palace and had no idea about the prices outside the palace.
Only later did she realize that this thing in her hand was the favorite rouge of the women in the city.
"The things outside the palace are very interesting. If I can go out one day, it would be great to see it with my own eyes." Those trapped in the palace walls always yearn for the vast world outside.
Shi Yi hesitated for a moment, as if thinking, "Want to leave the palace? I'll take you out."
Yu Zhi opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe it, "Is it possible?"
He nodded lightly, put the rouge box into her hand, and said with a firm tone, "I'll pick you up in three days."
At the beginning of the lanterns, singing, dancing and flute, the streets were bustling.
The carriage stopped by the side, and a delicate and fair hand lifted the curtain, and was suddenly grabbed back by another big, tough hand.
Yu Zhiyi couldn't wait to go down to see this unfamiliar and novel environment, but Shi Yi grabbed him back and said, "What's the hurry?"
Shi Yi took out a veil and put it on the cheek of the woman next to him, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.
When Shi Yi thought about it, he leaned forward, his clean eyes were full of himself. He finally restrained and covered those eyes with his hands, "Don't look at me."
Shi Yi got out of the car first and reached out to pick her up.
The woman's hand is slender, and it looks particularly petite in the man's palm.
It was clear that it had landed steadily, but Shi Yi didn't let go, but wrapped it up and said righteously, "There are a lot of people here, I'm afraid you're not used to it when you come out for the first time, I'll hold you."
"Hmm!" Yu Zhiyi's mind was already attracted by this bustling light market, "The night outside the palace is so lively."
She was looking at the scene, but the eyes of the man beside her lingered on her.
The little princess who came out of the palace for the first time was curious about everything outside. This one is also interesting, and that one is also beautiful.
"This mask looks good." She pointed to the fox mask and liked it very much.
Shi Yi directly took out the money, and the fox mask said to the boss, "I want this."
Yu Zhiyi quickly held his hand, "Brother, don't."
She doesn't want to waste money.
Shi Yi's focus was not on this, he followed her words and asked, "What do you call me?"
"Brother, brother..." Because the two of them held hands, a stall owner once recognized them as such a relationship, so she changed her words.
Shi Yi's heart surged with enthusiasm, and he took out the money and handed it to the stall owner, "Boss, I want two!"
Yu Zhiyi: "???"
She couldn't beat Shi Yi, and she didn't dare to express her liking for a certain item at will. But Shi Yi still bought a lot of gadgets, almost full of rewards.
She sneaked out of the palace and couldn't play for too long. Counting the time, Shi Yi reminded her to go back.
As soon as Yu Zhi looked at the lively street market, she said with dismay, "Now, I'm leaving."
Shi Yi clearly felt that she was in a low mood, but he couldn't keep her.
When sending her back, Shi Yi stuffed her with all the small things that he could take with him. Yu Zhiyi looked down at these small things and whispered softly, "If only I were not a princess."
If it's not a princess, maybe it won't be trapped here.
Shi Yi said, "But one by one, you are also a good princess."
She wondered, "Why?"
"If you weren't Princess Jiahe, maybe I wouldn't have met you."
If she wasn't the unloved Princess Jiahe, then he wouldn't have met her here in the first place.
Everything is predestined.
Because of Shi Yi's last words, the little princess was very happy for the first time that she was "Princess Jiahe"!
Shi Yi digs and digs on his body, and finally takes out a golden bell, "This one is also for you."
It looked like a bell, but there was no sound.
Yu Zhiyi was curious, "What is this?"
"Yeah... it's a gadget, but I like it, you have to put it away!"
"Since you like it, what are you doing for me?"
Shi Yi curled his lips, "You know, I'm not used to wearing this kind of little thing, so you can keep it for me first, and if I want it in the future, I'll ask you to get it back."
This wasn't considered a "gift", and Yu Zhiyi readily accepted this entrustment.
However, the good times did not last long.
When the border invaded, General Shi was ordered to go out on an expedition.
The situation was critical, and even the mother got the news.
When Yu Zhi, who was making embroidery, heard the news, the general led the army on an expedition, and the embroidery needle pricked his finger, and a drop of red blood came out.
She remembered that Shi Yi once said that he went to war with his father. But now that she is in this palace, she can't even find him.
The four high walls trapped her.
And she missed that person in her heart, and on the eve of the expedition, she took the risk and ran to her secretly.
A special cooing sound came from outside the hall. The man took off his dark gray hood and hid his figure in the dark, "I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Wait for me!" Yu Zhi hurriedly ran back to the hall, took out the dark blue purse hidden in his sewing box, and trotted out, panting heavily.
She put the purse into Shi Yi's hands, "Send, send you."
Shi Yi was stunned, "You know, what does this mean?"
A woman giving a man a purse... It has a deep meaning.
"It's been done a long time ago, I'm too timid to give it away." Yu Zhi bit her lip and nodded, her eyes blushing instantly, "Shi Yi... You must return safely!"
No matter how hard it was to restrain him, he moved with his heart and embraced her, "Don't cry."
"Last time you asked me what that bell was, I can tell you now..." He bent over and whispered in her ear, "That is, my favorite thing."
The soft voice is like the spring breeze melting snow, and thousands of thoughts grow and spread.
Young Erlang joined the army with his father, and made extraordinary achievements on the battlefield, and the emperor specially named him a hussar general.
This war lasted for ten consecutive months.
The strength of the two sides is comparable, and other countries send envoys to negotiate. The emperor did not like war and killing, and agreed to sign friendly diplomatic agreements with other countries.
At this moment, the other party proposed that he would like to marry Qin and Jin.
But how could the pampered princesses in the palace be willing to marry away from their home country and go to a place where they do not know the future
The emperor was worried about this.
The "considerate" queen offered her advice in person, "Your Majesty, there is a suitable person in my heart for the concubine."
"tell me the story."
"Princess Jiahe, fifteen years old..."
Yu Zhiyi's life was turned upside down. First came a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and then received an imperial decree to give her another gorgeous bedroom.
Some of the sudden seems like a dream, so unreal.
She was even flattered that her father, whom she had not seen for a long time, came to visit her in person.
The people serving around are thoughtful, but they don't talk much, and they won't say anything when asked.
The queen personally sent someone to send her to learn etiquette, but she was confined in the palace and could not communicate with other people.
Mammy was very uneasy in her heart. It took several days to find the opportunity to ask outside. When she learned about the marriage, her eyes suddenly turned red, "This, how can this be possible!"
Mammy hurriedly returned to the palace and wanted to tell Yu Zhiyi the news, but was told, "The Queen Mother invites Princess Jiahe to come over."
As soon as Yu Zhi arrived at the Empress, she was given a lot of jewelry, but Yu Zhi did not dare to accept it, "Miss, these things are too precious, and Jiahe deserves it."
The queen smiled, "Hey, why do you say that. You are about to marry the country of Yan and promote diplomatic relations between the two countries. These are all you deserve."
"Marry? Yan Kingdom?"
Yu Zhi knew early in the morning that there would be a demon if something went wrong, but he didn't expect to send her to a kiss! These people had made up their minds and didn't care about her thoughts at all.
Yu Zhiyi immediately knelt down and pleaded in horror, "Niangniang, please ask Niangniang to take her life back!"
The queen was unmoved at all, but showed a gentle and reasonable appearance, "Why does Princess Jiahe react like this? This is a good thing."
Yu Zhi shook her head, but no matter what she said, those people were indifferent.
The queen waved her hand, "Come here, send Princess Jiahe back to the palace, without the permission of this palace, you are not allowed to take half a step out of the bedroom!"
Soon, the queen ordered someone to send her a wedding dress.
Yu Zhi refused and knocked over his clothes.
These words passed into the Queen's ears, "This girl is quite stubborn!"
With a plan in mind, the queen beckoned to the maid beside her, "When the time comes..."
Yu Zhiyi woke up again, feeling that his body was bumped.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and couldn't see the scene in front of her, she just felt weak.
I don't know how long it took, but it finally recovered.
This is... Heqin's sedan chair!
Pulling back the curtain, she had no way to escape.
She was trapped in a gorgeous carriage, and was guarded day and night by an accompanying female servant, "Princess, this servant advises you not to struggle and hurt yourself."
Yu Zhi was full of grief, thinking that going to another country to marry someone else was not enough to end his life early, to save suffering in the future!
However, she promised that person, how could she rest assured before he returned home safely
"Cuckoo-"
There was a strange sound in the distance, and then it dissipated.
Everyone didn't take it seriously, and the little princess in the sedan held her sharp hairpin tightly.
postscript
I heard that a brave hussar general was missing from the border. The reason is unknown, and there are various stories circulating at the end.
Sacrifice for the country, fleeing, mysterious disappearance...
A new embroidery workshop is built in a remote town far from the imperial capital. The owner of the embroidery workshop is skilled and never shows up in person.
"Boss Shi, my master really liked the embroidery last time. I want to talk to this skilled embroiderer. Can you introduce me?"
The man in the dark blue shirt known as "Boss Shi" slowly put down the tea cup in his hand and rejected the request of others, only saying: "My wife is in a bad health and it is inconvenient to go out to see guests, please forgive me."
The visitor sighed and said, "My master still wants to make a batch, can we make it in half a month?"
The boss said again: "My wife should not work too hard, the daily embroidery time is limited."
After the guests left, the boss pushed the door into the courtyard.
I saw the embroidered lady who was "inconvenient to see guests" sitting in the courtyard under a lush tree, with rosy cheeks and autumnal eyes.
As soon as he appeared, the beautiful Xiu Niang seemed to feel something and looked up.
Seeing that it was him, Xiu Niang stood up immediately, and Jin Ling, who was tied around her waist, swayed along with it.
When the boss was in a state of mind, he waved to the woman, "One by one, come here."
The woman's voice was very clear, and she called from a distance, "Husband."
That valiant young general...
He doesn't admire the powerful, he just wants to guard his beloved, and he will have no worries in this life.
The author has something to say: I originally wanted to write a bit miserable, but when I wrote it, I couldn’t do it, whether it was the life of the little princess or the relationship between the two, and finally it became a light-hearted sweet essay, a pair for my life. people
