There was a lot of noise around, with cymbals and wooden fish clanging and many people buzzing and chanting scriptures. It seemed that there was still someone crying. Yiru carefully identified that the sounds were far away and were not around.

Drunk jade turns fragrance [Haiqing takes swan]

It is very noisy around, the cymbals and wooden fish clanging and clanging, and many people are buzzing and chanting scriptures.

It seems that there is still someone crying. Yiru carefully distinguished that the sounds are far away and are not around.

Yiru knew that she was probably helpless, but this did not affect her feeling that the noise was annoying.

Of course, she also knew that the noisy temple ritual was not done for her.

Baoxiang Temple is a famous temple, and you can come here to make the end

As for a person who is guilty like her, she is called becoming a monk, but in fact she is in jail. She cannot get out of this temple whether she dies or lives.

"...Is she going?" Someone seemed to be whispering and sighing, "She was going to be the crown princess, and she was also an golden branch and jade leaf . How could she end up like this?"

Yiru heard that they were two nuns in the nun, one old and the other young, who were dedicated to delivering food to her on weekdays.

"Everyone has their own destiny. She is fine. She was once engaged to the prince. The royal family had to take care of her face, so she was allowed to go to the nunnery and become a monk. Otherwise, she would definitely be sentenced to death with other members of the Yan family."

After saying that, she sighed again: "It's a pity for the Yan family. It's both a noble and a royal relative. In terms of relationships, the emperor and Yan Qi were also cousins. They became the official as the left prime minister. Why did they suddenly get the charge of a traitor and fall down if they say it..."

asked the man before and chanted the Buddha, saying, "It's not really a cousin. The family is in a bad mood. Do you see so few people in this temple? Be careful of your words and actions. You should not talk about these words in the future. If your master hears them, be careful of your skin."

The nun hurriedly kept saying silhouettes, and after a while, he whispered: "I don't know if the prince will come to see. She and the prince accompanied the emperor and empress to Danfeng Tower to watch the lanterns. It was so beautiful..." Yiru could no longer hear the words behind

, but she didn't need to hear them clearly.

Thinking of the prince, she just found it ridiculous.

How could he come?

Once upon a time, he was very gentle to her, and she was also very proud. At that time, if the most popular people among the noble ladies in the capital were, if Yi dared to be second, no one would dare to be first. Although she has not finished her tribute to the prince, everyone regards her as the princess and the future queen.

She thinks so too.

But this matter has been delayed again and again, and she has never been accused of it.

Even when his family was convicted and detained, Yiru still believed that the prince would not remain indifferent.

Until she heard that the whole family was convicted of death except herself. The prince will marry another princess and is preparing for the wedding.

Yiru doesn't know if the first person in the world to say the word "sweetheart" is the same as her.

She was stunned at that time, unable to cry or scold her, and was confused, like a walking corpse.

Wealth and glory are like a dose of pill.

Everyone told her that the late Empress Wende was from the Yan family, and the emperor was a filial son and would treat the Yan family well. And she is born with golden branches and jade leaves. She has grown up with the princes and daughters since she was young, and she will definitely enter the Eastern Palace in the future.

Although she knew that the people who said these words were more or less fake and flattering, she firmly believed that these were true, so she was willing to close her eyes and indulge in it.

No one told her that the emperor was filial to Empress Wende, not the Yan family, and Empress Wende had already died.

The emperor needs a compelling person to do things that he is inconvenient to do for him; and the courtiers also need such a person to make it easier for them to splash the words they cannot scold the emperor like dirty water.

So, the Yan family became the target of public criticism.

Yiru's father Yan Qi always said that he had a youthful friendship with the emperor and would never let him down.

However, the thunder fell, and the Yan family still fell from the cloud. The so-called friends and colleagues around her father, the close friends who have always been close, have changed their faces one after another.

Yiru didn't know if his father would regret not being the first. In the intriguing court, everyone thought they were chess players, but except for the people on the imperial throne, they were actually chess pieces.

Now, all this is finally over.

Over the past year, Yiru has thought of herself as a result of her, but she is afraid of the pain.

Now, this sudden illness has helped a lot.

The one who follows her tomorrow may be the curly straw mat under her now, wrapped up and dragged it to the back mountain to bury it. It's also good to

.

Instead of living, it is better to die and clean.

But Yiru still feels regretful.

She lived too confused in this life.

The Buddhist scriptures say that all actions are impermanent, which is the law of birth and death. After birth and death, nirvana is joy.

But when her nirvana came, she was so unwilling to accept it.

The body is getting lighter and the thoughts are floating, like a ball of dandelion blown away.

Yiru knows that this is the end of the day.

The sound of chanting scriptures in the temple is disappearing, and in the place is liberation.

No need to think about it anymore, do it again, no need to worry about gains, losses, honors and disgrace.

Dust returns to dust returns to earth, tranquility and eternal distance...

2 years of inheritance.

To the north of the capital, surrounded by the imperial city is the family of nobles and officials.

House, no matter how big or small, is neat, like a chess game. The road is open and flat, with green trees, clean and decent. Especially those high-gate homes, which cover a wide area, carved beams and painted buildings appear faintly behind the towering courtyard walls, which is quite as grand as the emperor's feet.

This is the second year after the emperor ascended the throne. Everything is as safe as before in the capital. What occupies people's daily conversations are either gossip about neighbors or gossip about the court and nobles.

. What people talk about recently is a secret matter of the noble Yan family.

Legend has it that Yan Qi, the eldest daughter of the head of the Yan family, got infected with evil and suddenly became hysterical.

This girl’s name is Yan Yiru, she just turned nine years old this year. According to rumors, she was playing in the backyard of her home two days ago. She accidentally fell down while climbing a rockery and fell into a coma.

Yan's family was very anxious and asked the imperial physician and the gods and Buddhas. Three days later, the lady finally woke up.

Just as everyone in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief, frightened one after another.

This lady screamed when she saw everyone, shouting that they were ghosts, and then fainted again.

"What's the next?" In a restaurant on the street, idle people listened with relish, and some people couldn't wait to ask.

The person who told the anecdote smiled and said, "I heard that Yan Qi spent a lot of money to invite a master to teach the way to ward off evil spirits, and the lady finally woke up."

Everyone was obviously not satisfied with the ending.

"Isn't this a matter made up?" Someone said suspiciously, "What kind of person is the eldest daughter of the Yan family? She was actually caught in evil?"

others did not let him interrupt and asked, "Why is the lady involved in evil? Is there any explanation?"

"Who knows. It's not easy to find out such a scandal, how can we wait for the people to know about the details?" After the teller said that, he smiled meaningfully and said, "But, I heard that the Empress of the Central Palace has often sent people to the Yan Mansion recently, and I don't know what it is for."

Hearing him mention the Central Palace, everyone showed a tacit expression.

"Since I am a person from the central palace, why can I do it? It's for the prince." Someone smiled and said, "In this way, the news that the emperor intended to let Yan continue to be a relative of the foreign country is true..."

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly coughed.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw a few well-dressed servants passing by with a beautiful shoulder carriage in front of the door. The two people in front shouted loudly, and pedestrians on both sides avoided them.

People can recognize it without reminding you. The person sitting on the carriage was Wu Bing, the manager of the Yan family. Behind his carriage was a carriage with several huge wooden barrels on it. I don’t know what it was carrying, and the servants were rushing in front of him and there was a lot of formation.

"What a glorious scenery," someone sighed, "I don't know, I thought it was an official who was traveling."

"That's natural," someone else answered, "In this capital, the name of the Yan family in charge will be comparable to a sixth-rank official in the future."

Everyone laughed, continued to drink tea, and turned the topic elsewhere.

*

Summer has begun to begin recently and the weather is stuffy.

Wu Bing sat on his shoulder, shaking the fan in his hand, watching the pedestrians coming and going.

To be honest, his favorite thing is to go out to do business. Some people are waiting for him, and everyone who sees him nods and bows.

Today, the same is true.

He slowly shook the fan, but he kept urging the servant in his mouth, and his tone was long: "Go ahead, be slow, be slow, if you miss the time for the woman to treat the disease, the lord will have to treat you and others."

The manager next to the team had to be hard, wiping the sweat while asking everyone to walk faster, and complaining in his heart.

They got up before dawn, walked for more than twenty miles, and went to Longquan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing to get spring water. The method of obtaining water is very particular. You must first pray to the land, and then start at the right time. You can pour the spring water into the bucket with a purple gold bowl. After receiving it, you will rush back and send it to the mansion before noon.

Otherwise, it will be a missed auspicious time and all previous efforts will be wasted.

is all about his great daughter Yan Yiru. I don’t know who leaked the news about her hysteria, but it was circulating in the capital, and everything she said was full of controversy.

Speaking of this, the Yan family was also confused. The head of the family Yan Qi always regarded Yan Yi as the pearl in his hand. Seeing that his daughter finally woke up and got hysteria, she sought medical treatment everywhere. But the great lady was really crazy and kept saying that she was not possessed by evil spirits and refused to take medicine. She also drove out all the monks and alchemists who were here to expel the evil spirits.

Not only that, she also held her parents and refused to let go, crying and laughing, saying that it was so good that they were still alive. As for the rest, they don't know as servants.

After the woman was caught in the evil spirit, the lord and his wife were also scared and locked the eldest daughter in the boudoir and still went to find a alchemist to do the trick.

In the end, it is better to give the alchemist in Zhongnanshan .

He said that the evil spirits among the great ladies are extraordinary, and the ordinary way to exorcise evil is useless, so he can only find another way. After collecting a large amount of money, the alchemist left a pile of talisman paper dipped in chicken blood and told them to burn three pieces of talisman paper every day and put them in clean water to bathe the woman. Soon after, the evil spirits will be eliminated.

It’s easy to say, but the water used for bathing is quite particular. Only the spring water on Longquan Mountain is the best. The yin and yang are harmonious, which can remove filth for the great lady. In order to make Yan Yiru get better soon, Yan Qi didn't care about trouble, and ordered the manager Wu Bing to lead twenty servants to Longquan Mountain to get water every day.

This is a hard work for the servants, but this method is indeed effective. According to the person who served in the inner house, Yan Yiru's hysteria was cured in just three days. Yan Qi was still worried and asked the servants to continue to fetch water so that she would not get sick again. The street market in front of

is bustling and quite lively. Seeing that Wu Bing and his party had just arrived, someone immediately pushed the pedestrians away from the street and gave them their debut. The person led by

is a minor official in charge of the market in Jingzhao Prefecture. Wu Bing couldn't name it, so he just sat on his shoulder and bowed to him.

The little official smiled and was busy returning the gifts by the roadside.

Wu Bing looked at the crowd who were pushed away on both sides. Those people looked here. Some were curious, some were angry, and all kinds of eyes gathered. Wu Bing couldn't help but feel proud.

What is a royal relative, a golden branch and a jade leaf? It's so arrogant.

*

In today's capital, if one family is closest to the emperor, then it is undoubtedly the Yan family.

Yan's family was born into a founding nobleman and was named Marquis of Nanyang. However, the descendants are mediocre. After several generations, although the title is still there, they are already in danger.

Fortunately, in addition to having a famous ancestor, the Yan family also has a unique feature, which is that there are many beauties.

In the harem of the emperor of every dynasty, concubines from the Yan family are always indispensable. When it was the late emperor, the Yan family finally produced an empress, Yan Qi's biological aunt, Empress Wende.

Empress Wende was very favored by the late emperor and had given birth to two princes in her early years, but unfortunately she died one after another before she became an adult. In order to comfort her, the late emperor handed over the third prince to her to raise.

Later, the third prince was named the crown prince and is the current emperor.

The emperor's biological mother was an ordinary palace maid and died very early. After the emperor ascended the throne, he was posthumously awarded the title.

He was very filial to Empress Wende and also respected Empress Wende's mother Yan.

It’s a pity that the population of Empress Wende’s branch is not prosperous.

Her father Yan Lu was originally a side branch in the clan. He passed down to this generation and lived only by a house and dozens of acres of thin fields and mulberry forests, and was not rich. Later, the late emperor selected Yan Lu's daughter, and was named a beauty, and later the queen. Yan Lu was named Gaoling Marquis, and this branch was finally able to prosper.

Yan Lu has only one son Yan Xiaozhi, except Empress Yan; and Yan Xiaozhi has only one son, Yan Qi now.

Yan Lu and Yan Xiaozhi neither lived long and went early. Some people often sigh that the Yan family’s father and son exchanged their life for wealth.

The third generation of single-handedness, Yan Qi is particularly valuable.

Yan Qi, whose courtesy name is Wenji, is Yan Xiaozhi's only son.

When Empress Wende was alive, she loved Yan Qi very much. Yan Qi often went to and from the palace since childhood, and was his playmate when the emperor was a child, and he was intimate. After the emperor ascended the throne, he became the chief censor, which was a bright future.

However, there are not many positive comments about Yan Qi, both the government and the country.

He is a veritable playboy, ignorant, and is proficient in everything from eating, drinking, and having fun. In the eyes of court officials, Yan Qi is a jester who relies on his nepotism and is the object of private ridicule. People like

are favored by the emperor and have entrusted them with important tasks. There are also rumors that when Yan Qi's daughter Yan Yiru was just born, Empress Wende had already intentionally asked her to be her grandson's crown princess.

Speaking of this, we cannot mention Yan Qi's own marriage.

Although Yan Qi is famous for his dandy, he is famous for his wife and children.

The marriage between him and his wife Rong was also hotly discussed in Beijing back then.

Rong and Yan Qi are fellow villagers of Nanyang . Rong's father Rong Fang was a businessman who ran a ancestral property; while Yan Lu was a devastated branch back then and his family was mediocre. The two families are neighbors. Yan Qi and Rong have known each other since childhood and are considered childhood sweethearts.

Later, Yan's family was favored in the palace, Yan Lu was granted the title of marquis, and Yan Qi moved to the capital with his family. But when he grew up, his family arranged a marriage for him, but Yan Qi insisted on marrying Rong.

The royal relatives, no matter what their background, always have to take into account their face. Moreover, the Yan family is also known as Marquis Gaoling and Marquis Nanyang. Even if the marriage between children like Yan Qi does not seek officials and nobles, they must at least be scholars.

But Yan Qi ignored it, and even if the palace came forward, he would not give in, and he would mess around and even make a hunger strike.

Yan Qi is a single descendant of the Yan family after all. Although Yan Xiaozhi was unwilling, he only had such a son. Seeing that he was stubborn, he didn't even want his life, so he had to give in and let the marriage go.

Just like that, Yan Qi and Rong got married, and there was also a joke about a stupid playboy and unfilial son in the capital.

But what made the family happy was that after marriage, although Yan Qi was still full of problems, he was finally willing to make progress.

He no longer idle all day long, but instead went to the East Palace to seek a job based on his friendship with the emperor who was the crown prince. At home, Yan Qi was in love with his wife Rong and focused on having children.

Yan Xiaozhi felt relieved when he felt relieved of his heart. He passed away not long after, and passed the family business to Yan Qi.

Now, Yan Qi already has two women and one man.

After the eldest daughter Yan Yiru was born, everyone praised her as a beauty, and she also loved her very much when Empress Wende was alive. She often asked Yan Qi and Rong to bring Yan Yiru into the palace and play with the emperor and grandchildren. It can be seen that she is so popular.

After Empress Wende's death, many people speculated that the emperor might be alienated from the Yan family. Unexpectedly, the emperor treated Yan Qi as if he were brothers and sisters, and even intended to fulfill Empress Wende's last wish and form a family of children.

With this tacit approval, both in the palace and the Yan family have regarded Yan Yiru as the future crown princess and serve them carefully.

Royal relatives, golden branches and jade leaves.

The emperor ascended the throne less than two years ago, just as he was employed by the old and the new.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that now, the person who is most trusted by the emperor is Yan Qi. If there is no accident, the Yan family will not only have a prosperous official career in the future, but will also continue to firmly hold the position of the rear clan.

Therefore, in the capital, even if Yan Qi farts, there will be people talking about whether the fart is smelly or not.

What's more, the great woman is caught in the evil.

Wu Bing took a deep breath in his heart. If the palace knows about this, it can be big or small. I just hope that it will not disturb the engagement between the queen and the prince.

*

In midsummer, birds sing and flowers scented and trees swayed in the west garden of Yan Mansion.

The finely crafted window is covered with the finely crafted silk, half-covered, the cool breeze penetrates, and the orchid smells fragrant.

Yi is like staring at the tassel tent above the head, the autumn fragrance is embroidered with auspicious flowers, and the chirping sounds are in the ears, which is a group of birds fighting outside the window.

The old man said that after a person dies, he should follow the ghost to Huangquan and arrive at the Hall of Yama. There is a distinction between whether to vote for humanity or to go to hell or to the animal path.

And Yiru feels that death is like a lamp extinguishing, and after closing his eyes, there is nothing left.

But no matter which one it is, it must not be like this now.

It has been a few days since I woke up, but Yiru still couldn't believe it.

She raised her hand in front of her eyes. It was much smaller than before, just like a nine-year-old child.

Then pick up a delicate little bronze mirror next to the pillow.

In the mirror, Yiru's face was smaller, and she looked like a child, looking familiar and unfamiliar.

She looked at it for a while, put down the mirror, and continued to look at the top of the tent in a daze.

I am now only nine years old...

Yiru remembers that I fell down from the rockery at home because of playfulness and fainted. However, she has always been solid and woke up soon, teaching the whole family to have a false alarm.

She didn't know what was going on.

That day, she clearly swallowed in Baoxiang Temple. I thought I would be liberated from now on, but I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I opened my eyes and woke up.

She even suspected that she was dreaming.

When she wakes up from this dream, she will find that she has really become a lonely ghost, wrapped in a roll of straw mat, buried alone in the soil.

The body seems to be very weak and very weak.

After a few days in a daze, no matter how Yiru fell asleep, she was still here when she woke up again.

Yiru has lived for twenty years. Although she didn't remember everything about her childhood, she also knew some of the veins.

These days, she has met many people.

Many people who are no longer there for themselves.

so that when she saw them for the first time, she thought she had seen a ghost and screamed loudly.

Her parents are younger than she remembers.

Father Yan Qi is still wearing fifth-rank official uniforms, while his mother has not gained weight, has not carefully applied thick powder like the noble ladies in Beijing, and there are no jewelry on her head and body.

does not have those annoying concubines . These two people are still loving in front of her.

After finally understanding that they were living people, Yi Ruze hugged them and cried and laughed, which scared them, thinking that she was possessed by evil again.

Just as Yiru was thinking about it, a noisy sound came from outside the door.

"...I've long said that the rockery in the garden is not reliable, so I must not let the girl play! You guys, everyone will be in front of you! The girl lets her do whatever she wants. Could it be that she is not afraid of making the lord and wife angry? I think the wife is too easy to talk to, and I'll teach you not to worry about family law. If the girl has a few long and two shortcomings, I think you will all be skinned!"

This voice sounded full of energy, Yiru was stunned, like her own wet nurse Chen.

Not long after, the gauze tent was suddenly pulled open.

Chen looked at her with a concerned look: "The lady is awake? What do you think now?"

Behind her, a group of little maids stood with their heads down, their faces pale, and they dared not show off.

Yiru looked at Chen, a little stunned.

Chen was originally a woman from a small family in Nanyang. When she gave birth to children, her daughter died young. Just after Rong gave birth to Yiru, she lacked enough milk. After someone introduced her, Chen was invited to be a wet nurse for Yiru.

Since childhood, Chen has been by Yiru's side. In addition to his parents, younger siblings, the person closest to Yiru is Chen.

Yan's mansion was killed by the whole family, and the servants in the mansion could not escape the misfortune. They either died or were sold.

Yiru heard in Baoxiang Temple that although Chen was not a slave of the Yan family, he was innocently guilty because he was Yiru's wet nurse. The government officials put her in prison with other slaves and threw her into prison, and then sold her as an official slave. As for the funeral afterwards, even if Yiru tried hard to ask for this and that, she would never be able to find a word. But even so, Yi Ru knew that the life of an official slave would not be better, and it would be worse than that of a pig or a dog if it fell into the hands of a bad owner.

In Baoxiang Temple, Yiru always tossed and turned to sleep whenever she thought of Chen.

In fact, just the year before the Yan family fell, Chen actually resigned from Yan Qi.

She said that she had poor legs and feet and wanted to go back to her hometown in Nanyang to retire and hug her grandson. But Yiru refused to let her go, and insisted that she wait until she got married with the prince before going back. Chen had no choice but to agree.

Unexpectedly, it was Yiru who harmed her.

The feeling of guilt and powerlessness surged out again when I saw Chen.

"Em..." Yiru muttered her name, suddenly stepped forward and hugged her, and started crying.

Chen was stunned, amused and surprised: "What's wrong with you? That's all..."

The little maid behind him hurriedly said, "The woman woke up after she fell and fainted. That's it. When she saw her lord and wife, she always burst into tears at any time, and she said nothing about her thought she would never see her again."

Chen had heard people talk about strange things after Yiru woke up. Looking at Yiru, she was ridiculous and crying. After Yiru was born, Rong's milk

She stroked Yiru's back and smiled: "What can I see you again? Just say something unlucky. . Em has only been back to visit his relatives for two months, why can't he see you? "

" But you, is the rockery climbing casually? Fortunately, he didn't climb high, otherwise he would have fallen heavily or was hit by a stone, so that's the Daluo Jinxian couldn't save him. I just returned to the mansion and heard this and rushed to see you. Fortunately, it's okay!" As he said, Chen chanted the Buddha twice and criticized him, "I had long said that the rockery rocks in the garden were not reliable and needed to be repaired as soon as possible. Old Ding refused to do anything. These lazy servants..."

The nagging voice was quite familiar. Yiru had been very afraid that she would not finish reciting it since she was a child.

But at this moment, I feel better than the sound of nature.

Yiru just felt sad and happy, raised her face, wiped her tears, and burst into tears to make her smile.

"I have to go and I don't blame the maids, nor do I blame Lao Ding." Yiru said in a low voice, "Ammo annoyed them..."

Hearing her speak, the room was quiet in an instant, and Chen and the little maids were stunned.

Especially the maids, it was their turn to show a look of seeing a ghost.

Yiru was spoiled and willful since childhood, and never admits mistakes when she causes trouble. Therefore, whenever she causes trouble, the ones who are always punished will always be the ones who serve her. Now that he actually takes responsibility on himself, it is the first time he has made a world of creation.

I thought that if something happened like this, I would be unable to escape the crime of death. Unexpectedly, this fall actually made the Great Lady a good person.

The little maids are crying.

Chen Shi was both angry and funny, but reached out and touched her forehead, and she did not get hot.

"Save this to your mother and say it." She said, breathing a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you have nothing to do. The lord and his wife are worried about sleeping and eating these days."

Hearing her mention of her parents, Yiru hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

"The lord went to court," Chen said, "My wife will go to the temple to pray for you before dawn. Just now, someone came to the palace again, and she is currently in the hall."

Hearing the word "palace", Yiru's heart couldn't help but lift it.

"What are the people in the palace doing?" she asked hurriedly.

"What else can I do, it's not for you." Chen looked at her angrily, "The Palace is very concerned about you. He sends people to visit you every day and sends tonics."

The cold face of Queen Wang suddenly flashed in front of Yiru's eyes.

Thinking of the ending in ten years, my heart felt like a huge bell hanging in my heart. I was hit hard, and the sound of alertness was deafening.

"You are fine now, but it's just right, how about you go with me to the court to greet you? "Chen smiled and said, "Today I am here is your favorite Mrs. Chongning Marquis. If she sees you safe and sound, she will definitely be happy. "

Yiru looked at her and his eyes were fixed.

*

In the yard, the summer sun was shining, the orioles were singing melodiously, and the garden was full of fragrance.

Yiru was led by Chen, looking around, feeling that everything was the same as the face she saw in the mirror, both familiar and unfamiliar.

This is where she lived for many years, but compared with the time when the Yan family fell, it had just been built, and the plants had not yet grown up, on the stream No jade belt bridge was built.

The jade belt bridge was given by the emperor.

The emperor visited Yan's mansion and visited the garden with great enthusiasm. Then, he issued an order to add a white jade bridge to the Yudai Creek in the garden, and named it the Yudai Bridge. The craftsmen in the mansion were built and carved. After it was completed, it became famous in the capital.

Because it was the day the emperor visited the garden, he personally decided to marry Yiru and the prince.

And Ruyi remembered, That year, I was nine years old.

9 years old.

Yiru's heart is like a mirror.

These days, she has figured it out. If we want to avoid repeating the same mistake, then she can change a lot this year.

Yiru's marriage with the prince seems to be happy to see it, but in fact, only Empress Wende and Yan's family are happy to see it.

People always like to be more frugal. The emperor is not Wende Wen Empress De’s biological son, although he was filial and considerate to Empress Wende, he was separated by a layer of belly. Both Empress Wende and Yan’s family wanted to stand firmer, so he had the marriage that year.

The emperor ruled the world with filial piety and obeyed his mother’s last wishes; Empress Wang was famous for his virtuousness and readily agreed to this.

So that in this year, the prince was ten years old and Yiru was nine years old, and the two were married. After that, Yiru waited for the prince to formally marry until the Yan family was suddenly thrown into a death row.

For the emperor, this marriage is just a cover to attract people. He praised the Yan family high, making Yan Qi willing to take the name of a traitor and eliminate the constraints of the court for him; for Empress Wang, the greater the power of the Yan family, the more she seems to be unwilling to fight and be upright and virtuous. Even if her mother's Wang family is supported, the people in the world will think that this is a loyal minister against the Yan family.

So the Yan family is as glorious as the Yan family is, the more tragic it will be when it falls. And the people in the world only think that the emperor is wise and endures for many years to eliminate the traitor, and it is the world that the emperor is the wise and wise. Fortunately.

And when Yiru finally woke up, it was too late.

The two years she spent in Baoxiang Temple, she spent all the time in regret. Regret, she claimed to be smart, but only cared about the intrigue in front of her; she hated herself that even though she knew that her father was going astray step by step, she still believed that the Tian family would not let them down. When she became the crown princess and left her father no longer worries, she advised him to resign and return home and live a quiet life...

Yiru closed her eyes and opened her again Open.

The front hall is in front of her. She followed Chen two steps forward and heard the soft voice of her mother Rong. Another voice, Yiru also heard it. It was indeed Xu, the wife of the Marquis of Chongning.

This Marquis of Chongning is the wife of Wang Chengye, the younger brother of Queen Wang.

She is the wife of Queen Wang and is deeply trusted by the Queen. However, whenever Queen Wang attaches importance to it, Xu will always send her to come forward for her.

Queen Wang comes out She was a high school in the middle of the capital. She was selected as the Eastern Palace at the age of fifteen and was named Liangdi. She gave birth to the eldest son for the prince. The crown prince's concubine died early due to illness. After the emperor ascended the throne, Wang's mother was named the queen because of her son's honor. Her father died early, and her younger brother Wang Chengye was named Chongning Hou.

Compared with Wang, Xu's family is not outstanding, but she has always spoken and caring, and she always smiles whenever she sees Yiru. Yiru has liked her since she was a child and feels as kind as her aunt.

Of course, that was the past.

When the Yan family was in trouble, Yiru asked everywhere and had found the Chongning Marquis' Mansion. But in contrast to the smiley face in the past, Yiru couldn't even enter the gate of Chongning Hou.

The manager said to her coldly that Junhou and his wife were neither there. Yi Ruze watched the fragrant carriage and servants in front of the Marquis's mansion parked lively and people came and went.

This is the flower viewing party held by Xu in the Mansion every year. In previous years, Yiru would receive posts early, and Xu would come to the door in person to invite her to the meeting. Not long after she was rejected when she came to the door this time, she learned that it was Chongning Hou who took over his father's position as the Left Prime Minister.

The past is ups and downs, Yiru bit her lip and clenched her fingers in her palm.

Although Rong was born in a merchant family, he studied and learned etiquette since childhood and was not inferior to the ladies of his family.

The weather is hot today. She is wearing an elegant skirt , and the crystal agate is hanging between the clouds. It is quite pleasing to the eyes.

Xu was dressed in a life-long dress, with pearls and jade. After the ceremony, several palace servants were asked to present them to Rong.

"The central palace has been thinking about Yiru. Today, I went to the palace. She also said that she had never seen Yiru for many days. I really miss her. I wonder what happened to her?" Xu said with a smile, "The central palace also said that Jingxian was really hard to take care of the daughter. She specially ordered her to bring some things to comfort Jingxian."

Jingxian is the name of Rong's boudoir. She has a close relationship with Xu and has long been familiar with each other and has called each other by her boudoir name.

"Menyun has worked hard." Rong looked at the things in the hands of the palace people and hurriedly said, "I am afraid. It is the duty to take care of my children. How can I get the reward from the central palace?"

Xu took her hand and smiled and said, "Don't Jingxian know the temperament of the central palace? He is the most wise and polite. When Yiru's health is good, the wife will take her to the palace to visit and the central palace will be happy."

Rong nodded: "It should be done." After that, he asked the servant to receive the gift.

The two were talking, and someone came to report that the woman had arrived.

Rong was shocked when he heard this, and Xu also showed a look of surprise and his eyes moved.

"So, is the woman in good health?" She showed joy and asked Rong.

"It's good, but it's a little weaker." Rong said embarrassedly, and couldn't help but raise his heart.

Her daughter has long been in good health, but her spirit is still a little weird. Every time Rong went to see Yiru, she would hold her and cry, asking her what was wrong, but she shook her head and didn't say anything.

Rong's family is still fine. When Yiru saw her father Yan Qi, she changed her expression. Not only did she glar at him, she saw him wearing official uniforms and going to court, but she also jumped out of bed to ask him to take off his official uniform, saying that the emperor would kill him and the whole family.

Yan Qi has always loved this daughter, and when he heard this, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly covered her mouth.

Ke Yiru kept talking, grabbing Yan Qi's sleeve and saying that he must not regret it until he died.

Yan Qi was so amused that he felt that this daughter was really possessed by evil spirits and decided not to show up in front of outsiders before she recovered.

Fortunately, after the alchemist's method of exorcising evil spirits, Yiru gradually calmed down in the past few days and did not say any more ridiculous words. However, Yan Qi and his wife were still scared and dared not let her see others easily.

Not long after, when Rong's heart skipped a beat when he saw Chen pulling Yiru out.

Chen just returned, and she didn't have time to explain clearly. Unexpectedly, Chen took his own initiative to bring Yiru to the hall.

I saw Yiru wearing a water-red upper robe, her small face looked white and red, and she looked no different from usual. However, the eyes looked towards Xu, but there was no turmoil.

Xu looked at her, smiled and walked forward and said, "Did the woman just wake up? What do you think today?"

After saying that, she stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hug her.

Unexpectedly, Yiru seemed to have seen a stranger, turned her head and held Chen's hand.

Rong said angrily, "What's wrong with you? I used to be happy to see Mrs. Xu. Today, the wife also brought the reward from the central palace to you. Why don't you thank me quickly." After that, she hurriedly said to Xu, "She has always been sleeping these days, and she must have just woken up, so she has become more and more arrogant."

Xu said with a smile, "Jingxian is out of here, what's the point."

said this, and she looked Yiru carefully.

Although Yan's mansion tried hard not to let the news spread, Yan's mansion was full of people, so how could he have no sound? Now the rumors in the capital have already flown all over the sky, and although there is no shortage of fuel and ecstasy, there is one thing that Xu knew is true.

Yan Yiru was caught in an evil spirit.

Queen Wang also learned it, and even told Xu specifically. Xu knew that Queen Wang was not satisfied with Queen Wende's accusation that year, and did not dare to openly oppose it. Now, with this reason, she can play. Therefore, today, Queen Wang said she wanted to give something to her, so Xu volunteered to take it over and take the opportunity to see what was going on.

The person who was caught in an evil spirit was Ru What he looks like, Xu has never seen him. But just now, when she saw Yan Yiru at first sight, she felt something strange.

is covered by Queen Wende, Yan Yiru has been spoiled since childhood and loves to make one's personality. But Xu has always been versatile. No matter how perverse Yan Yiru is, he is just a child, innocent by nature, and always has something he likes. Xu touched her temper and has always been popular in front of this favored lady.

But today, Yan Yiru looked at her cold eyes, no matter how warm she was when she met. For a moment, Xu felt that she was different from before.

But soon, she realized that this was just an illusion.

saw Yan Yiru hear her mother's words, yawned for a long time, muttering, "It was Emu who woke me up and didn't let me sleep. "After saying that, she came down from Chen's arms and saluted in front of Xu, "Thank you, Mrs. Hou." "

Mrs. Xu looked at her, smiled, and said in a gentle voice: "What should I thank for is the Central Palace. Get well quickly and go to the palace to thank you. "

After saying that, she asked the palace servant to open a makeup box, which contained various new palace flowers.

" These were all made by the Shaofu for the princesses. The palace was thinking about the daughter of the daughter, so she also left a copy for the daughter of the daughter. "She picked up a beautiful velvet flower, swayed it in front of Yiru, teasing her, "How? Does the girl like it? "

——"…The central palace is busy, how could anyone see it whenever they want? "

Yiru looked at the velvet flower and Xu's smile, and remembered the last meeting she had with her.

At that time, Yiru finally stopped Xu's carriage and asked her to take her into the palace to meet the queen. She sat upright on the incense carriage, smiling as kindly as at this time, and said slowly: "I am a woman, and I really can't help with the affairs of the court. Instead of showing up and running around, the female queen might as well go home and persuade Ling Zun to confess her guilt and punish her. This is the right way. "

...

The past flashed like a flash of light, Yiru looked at the velvet flower and slowly smiled.

" Like. "She took it, looked at it, but turned her head to look at Rong.

"Mother," she said, "I always dreamed these days. "

" You can dream naturally. "Rong pulled her over, touched her forehead, and said, "You fell heavily that day, and you had a high fever. You always talk nonsense. What else can you do if you don't dream? "

" These dreams are different from usual. "Yiru said, "I dreamed of an immortal floating down from the sky, stepping on clouds and mists on my feet, which looked very beautiful. "

" Oh? "Rong showed surprise.

This is the first time in these days, Yiru spoke so clearly, instead of being evil, crying and making a fuss. It is really delightful.

"What did that immortal do in your dream? "Rong asked.

" He took me to the sky to play, said a lot to me, and also took me to see a lot of things. "Yiru was playing with the pearl velvet flower and said casually, "I also dreamed of Mrs. Xu. "

When Xu heard her mention her, she couldn't help but become interested.

" The woman dreamed of a concubine? "She smiled and said, "Is it because I also went to the sky with the Queen?" "

" is not. "Yiru looked at her and blinked, "I dreamed that my wife went to Yuanyang Lake and boarded a painting boat. The phoenix is ​​painted on the pleasure boat, which is very beautiful. "

Xu listened, smiling on his lips, his eyes slightly changed.

" Then? "Rong asked.

" Then the immortal took me away."Yiru looked innocent, "I originally wanted to go with Mrs. Xu, but the immortal didn't let me go, saying that the sky was better. "

Rong smiled and said, "In this way, that immortal is really boring. He asked you to meet Mrs. Xu, but he didn't let you find her. "

" Has the woman dreamed of her concubine this time? "Xu asked calmly, "But there is something else?" "

" I don't remember it, I only remember these. "Yiru said that, turned around and threw herself into Rong's arms, "Mother, I'm sleepy again..."

"Sleepy?" "Rong hugged her and frowned, "Isn't it just woke up, why are you so tired? "

" Why not invite the imperial physician to come and have a look. "Xu stared at Yiru, "I think the daughter's face is not good, but I'm afraid she hasn't recovered yet. "

" is not complete, and the imperial physician comes every day, and I don’t know how much medicine I took. "Rong hugged Yiru on his knees and said, "I took the sanitary medicine given by the Central Palace earlier, and it was very effective. "

Xu nodded.

The two of them greeted each other for a while, and Xu said they would go back to the palace to report their lives, so they stood up and said goodbye.

Watching her figure disappearing outside the hall, Yiru's eyes are quiet.

"Why don't you make a fuss? "At this time, Rong suddenly patted her forehead, "You are always like this, you are impatient at any time, always thinking about driving the guests away. "

" She is not impatient. "Chen smiled and said, "She was a snack sent from the greedy palace. If she couldn't eat it in front of Mrs. Chongning, she would be eager to leave soon, right? "

Yiru looked at them and smiled.

" I just want to be with my mother. "She buried her head in Rong's arms and whispered, "The whole family is safe and safe, and there are no more troubles." "The following sentence of

, her voice was very small. Rong did not hear it clearly, and she smiled and said, "You are so willful, and you will enter the palace in the future. How can you be so great? "

Yiru didn't say anything.

Entered the palace. She listened to Rong and Chen's nagging, her eyes were distant.

This matter has never come true before. This time, she will let it go further.

*

In addition to Yiru, Rong and Yan Qi have a son and a daughter.

The son is Yan Kai, three years younger than Yiru, and six years old this year; the daughter is Yan Yuru, and she is just four months old and is still in Rong's belly.

is different from Yan Kai, who has become a beautiful young man in Yiru's memory. He is at the age of a cat who is annoyed by dogs and runs everywhere.

Yiru saw him, he was soaked and dirty. The two families behind him were also like chickens. When he saw Rong, they were both sad.

Yan Kai looked at his mother's raised face, but smiled, opened his palm, and a shiny white stone was lying inside.

"This is the treasure I found under the pool. "He said proudly, "Give it to my mother, my mother will keep it. "

Rong was both angry and funny, so he picked up the stone and pinched his face: "Enemy, what kind of life do I have? I gave birth to such annoying sisters and sisters as you! If you fall off the rockery like your sister, it will not be enough to send you any stones. "

Yan Kai was still smiling and broke free from Rong's hand, and ran towards Yiru again. Fortunately, the family behind him grabbed him and took him to take a shower as Rong's instructions.

In the evening, Yan Qi came back.

He was wearing court uniforms, exhausted, and when he entered the door, he called out: "Where is the enemy general Yan Kai? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Kai ran out and collided with Yan Qi.

Yan Qi then took off his official hat and threw it to the servant, then raised Yan Kai over his head and let him ride on his shoulders.

Seeing Rong and Yiru both in the hall, Yan Qi showed surprise: "Is Yi going to be here today? "

" Yiru is not suffering from a terminal illness, so why is it not going to be cured? "Rong looked at Yan Qi and his beautiful eyebrows frowned, "Why did you come back so late? Could it be that they went to drink with Song Tingji and others again? "

" It's not all dark yet, what wine to drink? "Yan Qi put Yan Kai down, sat next to Rong, and said, "I came out of the official office and went home, never..." Before he finished speaking, he burped.

people immediately smelled a smell of alcohol.

Seeing Rong's face unhappy, Yan Qi smiled and hugged her: "I was just on the road, and I couldn't help but stop drinking for two drinks. Jingxian didn't vent..."

Rong Shi stared at him and grabbed his ears: "You will do this next time, I will take Yiru and A Kai back to Nanyang."

Yan Qi begged for mercy repeatedly: "Hiss... I know, be gentler... Hiss..."

Yiru looked aside without making a sound.

Although she had seen her father look at him, she still couldn't help feeling complicated and could not be described in words when she looked at him.

At this time, Yan Qi was young and handsome, and had a deep affection with Rong.

But Yiru knew that all this would change in less than two years.

At present, Yan Qi is just a confidant of the emperor in people's eyes, but the emperor will soon support him vigorously.

High-powered people are always surrounded by people of all kinds and will win over him. As he had more social engagements outside, his former playboy nature gradually recovered. Sometimes, he would not go home for several days in a row, and when he came back, he would bring one or several beauties with him. Among them, there were even concubines given by the emperor.

Yiru's mother Rong, although she became glorious with her husband's promotion, her life in the mansion became busy and difficult.

She needs to learn to get along with Yan Qi's many concubines, and beware of others' misunderstanding family background. Some people in the Yan clan always thought that Yan Qi was low in marriage and asked him to stop his wife and marry him. Although Yan Qi has not been shaken, the relationship between the two has long faded.

Yiru was annoyed by her father and felt sorry for her mother, but she had no choice. She could only think that when she became the crown princess and her mother was hoping to make her stand out, she would stop worrying and be safe from now on...

Unfortunately, she didn't understand that all this was wrong at the source.

Let’s talk about it again, the Song Tingji mentioned by Rong is no stranger to Yiru.

This person is Yan Qi's friend, and it was him who made great efforts when he framed Yan Qi.

To be sarcastic, Yan Qi is quite accomplished in intrigue and defeated many people. But in the end, he was also beaten down, and the ones who gave him a fatal blow were the people he trusted the most, among which were these so-called friends.

Yan Qi has many political enemies and many friends in the court, among which three of them have the deepest contact. In addition to Song Tingji, there were two others, one named Gao Yong and the other named Guo Chang.

They were all from ordinary officials in Beijing. Although they were incomparable to Yan's family, they became good friends when they were young because they had similar scents with Yan Qi and loved entertainment.

Yan Qi was valued by the emperor and did not forget to take his friends. These three people relied on Yan Qi to advance and form cliques to make money. But when the emperor dealt with Yan Qi, they instantly stood on the other side, took out all kinds of evidence to clear themselves, and all the crimes fell on Yan Qi.

Yiru thought, when the head fell to the ground, her father must be very confused about what he had done wrong.

"What's wrong with Yiru?"

Just as Yiru was in a daze, Yan Qi suddenly came over and looked at her: "I didn't say a word, could I still be sick?"

"Is it okay today, is it hot again?" Rong hurriedly handed Yan Kai to Chen and came over to touch Yiru's forehead.

Yan Qi stood up and said to the manager Wu Bing: "The talisman paper given by the gods and the water from Longquan Mountain for the female king today?"

"It has been used," Wu Bing said hurriedly, "The villain burned it himself and sent it to the garden."

Yan Qi wanted to say something else, but Yi Ru said, "I am just thinking about the words of the immortal in my dream."

"Immortal?" Yan Qi was surprised, "What an immortal."

Rong told Yan Qi about the fact that Xu was ordered to visit the mansion today. Yan Qi looked at Yi Ru, and was immediately interested.

"Oh?" He said, "What did the immortal say to you? Tell your father."

Yiru blinked and said, "Don't say it."

"Why?"

"The immortal said, the secrets of heaven should not be revealed." Yiru said, "If you are left alone, I will be punished.""

Rong Shi couldn't help laughing: "You are young and know what the secret of heaven is that you cannot reveal? "

" I don't know, the immortal said. "Yiru said.

Rong opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he heard Yan Qi ask Chen to take Yan Kai back to the room, and then ordered Wu Bing to lead a group of servants to retreat.

"Now there are no idle people waiting. "Yan Qi ignored Rong's angry gaze, looked at Yiru with a smile, and handed a piece of candy forward, "Tell me, what secret did the immortal tell you?" "

Yiru looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "What the immortal said is one after another, I can remember it sometimes, but sometimes I can't. "

" is fine. "Yan Qi said, "What are the words you just thought of. "

Yiru took the oat sugar and put it in her mouth: "I just heard my mother mention Song Tingji, and the immortal also said this name. He said that this person would become a secretary soon and would borrow money from his father to build a house, just on East Street. "

Yan Qi's joking look was frozen and he was stunned.

*

*

The night was dark.

In the Yi'an Palace, Queen Wang had just come out of the shower, wearing a bedcloth, and Xu sat behind her and wiped the water from her hair with a towel.

"You think, is Yan Qi's daughter really good? "The queen looked at herself in the mirror and asked.

"It seems OK. "Xu said, "I just fell asleep for about a long time and looked unconscious, but I was not very nervous when I spoke and responded without any hindrance. "

Queen Wang smiled faintly and her eyes were cold.

" It's a pity to say this. "She said, "What an evil thing is okay?" "

Just as Xu was about to answer, he suddenly remembered what Yan Yiru said.

——"I dreamed that my wife went to Yuanyang Lake and boarded a pleasure boat..."

The tongue stopped, and the panic in the daytime spread again.

Yuanyang Lake, the pleasure boat, the phoenix.

Everyone can treat these as childish words, but Xu can't. Because she knew that this was all true...

"I can't see this. "She immediately replied, "But I heard that Yan Qi had found a master to exorcise evil spirits for Yan Nujun. "

As he said, Xu paused for a moment and said, "The Central Palace wants to do something about this matter..."

Queen Wang shook her head: "It's not the time yet. The emperor relies very much on the Yan family, so don’t go against them, and everything should be discussed in the long run. "

Xu knew it and said, "I know. "

Xu has always been aware of Queen Wang's thoughts.

Yan Yiru's marriage with the prince was the meaning of Queen Wende at that time, and Queen Wang didn't like it. But on the contrary, Queen Wang had a good relationship with the Yan family and still treated the Yan family as well as when Queen Wende was still there.

The reason for this is related to Queen Wang's current situation in the palace.

In the palace, the highest status is Empress Wang, but the most favored one is the imperial concubine Wei.

This Wei family, the mother of Concubine Wei, is the most famous family in this dynasty. His ancestors were founding heroes. There were more than a dozen important officials of the third rank and above in the clan, and two queens also had a deep foundation in the court.

In comparison, although the Wang family of the empress was also a high-ranking family, his family background seemed a little dim. If it weren't for the empress's father, After being the crown prince and the tutor, she was particularly respected by the late emperor. Empress Wang would not stand out among the ladies and became the crown prince's concubine.

In addition to outstanding family background, Concubine Wei's belly is also very successful. Since serving the emperor, she has given birth to three sons and one daughter in succession. For the emperor whose descendants are not very prosperous, she has made outstanding contributions.

In comparison, Empress Wang only has one child.

is inferior to others everywhere, and in this way In front of her hands, she was walking on thin ice. Fortunately, Empress Wang has been considerate in her work for many years, and has never lost her virtues. She is quite famous in the court and the country. Even if Concubine Wei is aggressive, Empress Wang still gained a foothold and her son was successfully made the crown prince.

In addition, Empress Wang also tried her best to win over allies. As a relative close to the emperor, Yan was naturally an important object.

Therefore, Empress Wang never opposed Yan Yiru's marriage with the crown prince.

"It would be great if it fell more heavily." Queen Wang looked in the mirror, stroked a faint fine line at the corner of her eyes, and sighed softly, "What a pity."

Xu smiled: "Maybe this is God's will, and I know she is useful to the central palace."

Queen Wang did not comment and spoke to her for a while. Not long after, a palace servant told Queen Wang outside through the shaved tent: "The emperor went to Concubine Wei's side today, but he came."

After a moment of silence, Queen Wang said: "I understand."

She looked at the carefully arranged candles around. The smoke in the shiny incense burner was light, and the emperor's favorite incense was burning inside, which was made by her personally.

The lonely look was fleeting on that well-maintained face.

"Thank you for your hard work today." She whispered to Xu, "Go back."

Xu responded and bowed and said goodbye.

The night wind slowly blows by, and the chirping of summer insects rises and falls one after another in the palace.

The female official’s wife also has a residence in the palace, not far from the Yi'an Palace. Xu's palace is here called Lantiaoyuan.

just entered the courtyard, and Xu suddenly saw someone flashing inside, and was shocked.

Look back, the palace servant behind him disappeared at any time.

"Why are you here now?" The man laughed softly and took Xu into his arms.

Xu stroked his chest, feeling upset.

"What's wrong?" The man noticed that Xu was absent-minded and said, "Is there something wrong in my heart?"

Xu said angrily and said, "It's nothing, but I'm a little tired."

The man smiled and pinched her buttocks hard, and the warm breath sprayed on her neck: "This will relieve your fatigue..."

*

"What are you crazy?" After coaxing your children to bed, Rong returned to the room and said to Yan Qi, "Yiru just said a dream. You drove everyone away and spread it out, and you were catching the shadows. Do you also know what kind of virtues these people in the mansion have? Isn't it enough to make a fuss about her a while ago?"

Yan Qi sat on the couch, holding a teacup in his hand, drinking tea while focusing on the book.

"Don't worry, servant, I'll take care of it, I can control it. If anyone talks nonsense in the future, I'll pull out their teeth." He said, "But I think Yi Ru's words are quite interesting..." Before he finished speaking, the book on the desk was snatched away by Rong's hand.

She looked through the cover and said the word "Dream Interpretation Order" was written.

"If you want to read books, you have to read some serious things." Rong felt bitter and said, "They are engaged in these evil ways all day long, and they are just people who are not serious when they see it. How do you think of you in the court? To have a long-term foothold, you must earn your reputation back."

If it were in the past, Yan Qi would definitely say that Song Tingji and the others were all descendants of high-ranking scholars, and they were not serious. But now, he didn't say anything, but he was thinking.

"Jingxian," he said, "Do you still remember what Yiru said when she woke up and saw me?"

Rong said, "She said too much, what are you saying?"

"She said." Yan Qi said slowly, "Our whole family will die."

Rong looked at Yan Qi, and suddenly covered her sleeves and smiled.

"Are you crazy too?" She scolded and lowered her voice, "She also said that the emperor had surrendered and killed us. How can I feel at ease about the words of the child? It's not that I will not mention it after I have agreed, but I will not be killed."

"I will not mention it to others, but I will only talk about it." Yan Qi picked up the book and shook it, saying, "This book is something I asked from experts. There are solutions to thousands of words in my dream."

Rong glanced at him, quite helpless.

Yan Qi doesn't like reading, but he is very enthusiastic about ghosts and gods. Among the noble circles in Beijing, there are many people who are keen on talking about metaphysics and seeking Taoism and immortals. Yan Qi was also interested in these things. He once spent a lot of money to buy some so-called immortal pills and was scolded by Rong.

"Are you the master from Zhongnan Mountain? You should believe less and spend money on nothing." Rong sighed and persuaded.

Yan Qi shook his head: "You don't know this. This book talks about many things about children who are reincarnated in serious illness and becoming enlightened and spiritual. Yiru woke up at that time and changed his temperament. The more I saw it, the more I felt like it."

"So, do you believe what she said? Will the emperor kill our whole family?"

Yan Qi: "..."

"This..." He was a little embarrassed, "I have to make a long-term plan. The book also says that what I brought out of the dream cannot be explained directly according to words. For example, if you are bitten by a snake in a dream, it is not that there will be a snake to bite it, but that it is wealth."

"How does this have to do with Yi?" Rong was impatient.

"It's related." Yan Qi said with a word, "Think about it, Yiru is young and knows the mystery, and he will say whatever he sees. We must not explain it according to her original words."

Rong looked at him and finally showed some hesitation: "Is that right?"

"I also thought Yiru was shocked in my dream, but today she told me to wake up when she saw the gods."

"What do you say?"

"What do you mean?"

"I am indeed Song Tingji who drinks today." Yan Qi said, "Guess, what did he say to me?"

His eyes were burning: "He said he wanted to find a house and borrow money from me."

Rong was surprised.

*

Days pass day by day, and Yiru also feels that she is no longer drowsy every day as before.

She feels that her soul and body are like a newly transplanted seedling. At first, I was not accustomed to the soil and the seedlings were sick. After the days were long, they adapted to the soil and then took root and grew back.

Seeing Yiru recovering, the Yan Mansion was naturally happy, but the servants and maids realized that it was unusual.

The lady's personality has changed a lot.

For example, she used to like to lose her temper, and she would cry and make a fuss when she was unhappy, and would sue her wife. But now, she spoke in a whisper.

Previously, a little maid broke her favorite cup. She thought she would be punished, but she heard Yiru ask, "Your hand is broken, let's get a pack."

The little maid was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

For example, she likes to eat sweet snacks, but she chooses very well in the main meal. If she doesn’t like to eat this or that, no matter what delicacies are, most of them will be returned as it is when presented to her. What people in the kitchen worry most about every day is how to please the lady, and even the wife can do nothing.

But now, no matter what you make in the kitchen, the lady will eat everything cleanly and add some more.

The rest of the matter is different.

Everyone in the Yan Mansion felt that the current woman was very different from the previous one, and maybe she was really attacked by evil spirits. However, this evil spirit is obviously an evil spirit with good character, and should still be a starving ghost.

The servants dare not come to Yiru to ask about these things. However, Yi Ru knew everyone's reaction.

She knows what kind of temperament she used to be.

Yan Qi was spoiled since childhood. Yan Xiaozhi and Empress Wende's branch are only like Yan Qi, who cares about everything and has spoiled him. And Yan Qi naturally wrote about his children.

Yiru, since birth, everything is the best. No matter what you do, Yan Qi will leave it alone and ask for it. The only person in the family who can restrain Yiru is Rong. But Rong loves her daughter after all, and she can't help but do it alone. Yiru is a bit more violent, so she can't control it.

In this way, Yiru is in Yan's mansion, and she is the king.

Yi thought, if it hadn't been falling from the clouds and had been in Baoxiang'an for two years without any food and clothing, I'm afraid I would never have the opportunity to reflect carefully.

The person who felt something strange also included her parents.

But what they care about is very different from the servants. They asked Yiru what the immortal said. Yan Qi even found many scrolls of immortals, and asked Yiru to identify which one it was based on the immortal in the painting.

Yiru feels ridiculous and crying.

Most nobles are superstitious. For example, her great-grandfather Yan Lu and her grandfather Yan Xiaozhi are both superstitious people.

It is said that when the selection was selected, many people knew that the road was difficult and did not want their daughter to enter the palace, so they decided to marry him early. Yan Lu went to tell fortunes with a alchemist. When he learned that his daughter was a rich man, he gritted his teeth and sent her to the palace regardless of her crying and begging.

At that time, many people laughed at Yan Lu, saying that he was so lard that he was shocked. The only one who can be lucky enough for the Tian family to be successful is among the few who are rare. The vast majority of people either live in obscurity until they die, or are expelled from their hard work for half their lives, have no support, and need help from brothers and sisters. If you are not a desperate family, you will never willingly let your daughter enter the palace for that meal.

But Yan Lu's daughter was really good at it. Not long after she entered the palace, she was attracted by the emperor and received a reward. Later, she became the queen, and Yan Lu was also named Gaoling Hou.

The people who used to laugh at have changed their faces and are beyond the reach of regret. Yan Lu was proud and felt that ghosts and gods were more reliable from then on.

Yan Qi didn't care much about ghosts and gods at first, but after all, he has been influenced by the gods since childhood, and he worships the gods when he encounters indecisive things. It is common for him to find someone to calculate the matters that are indecisive. To be fair, compared with the superstitious nobles in Beijing who are like charlatans, Yan Qi just worships gods and is occasionally coaxed to buy a few elixirs, but it is not out of line.

But Yiru knew that if she wanted Yan Qi to listen to her nine-year-old child, the best way was to borrow ghosts and gods.

She looked at the gods on the scroll, looked at one after another, and shook her head.

Yan Qi was quite patient and kept putting other scrolls over for her to see, saying, "Don't worry, yes, no, no, don't admit your mistake."

Yiru thought to herself, the person who painted had never really seen a god, how could he know what the god looked like?

However, she still showed a serious look. When a long-bearded fairy appeared in front of her, she suddenly realized and said, "It's this!"

Yan Qi and Rong heard this and hurriedly came forward to look. They saw that the scroll was written on the edge of the scroll, "The Great Compassionate and Benevolent Taiyi Tianzun" was written on the east Changle World.

*

"It's him."

Yan Qi flipped a book, his expression became clear, and smiled, and said to Rong, "Yi Ru the immortal in his dream, it is this Taiyi Tianzun."

Rong, doubting his belief: "How can I see it?"

Yan Qi came over with great enthusiasm and translated the book to Rong, "As the book says, Taiyi Tianzun may live in the heavenly palace, descend on the earth, or live in hell, or capture the group, or be a fairy child and jade girl, or an emperor saint, or a real person of the heavenly lord, or a Vajra God King, or a strong man of the devil king..."

Rong interrupted: "Which god in these books doesn't say that, which god doesn't say that in these books. ? "

Yan Qi pointed down again: "This is the important thing. The book says that Taiyi Tianzun has a long beard and white beard, a green robe and crane robe, rides on clouds and fog, and travels around the world. He has infinite supernatural powers and infinite merits. He seeks to save suffering, responds to things at random, and often asks to dream of ordinary people to show him oracles. Isn't this just as Yi said? "

Rong also carefully checked the words in the book and said, "Even if it matches, how do you do?" "

" When it matches, it means that Yi Ru can understand the gods." Yan Qi said, "I have the protection of the gods since then, isn't it a great kindness! With her, I will rise to the highest position in the future, and it will be unstoppable!"

Rong looked at him and sighed in his heart.

Her husband is impeccable when he is attentive and considerate. But Rong also knew his shortcomings very well.

Yan Qi has been very proud of himself since childhood, and feels that his background cannot be compared by those who are inferior to him, make achievements and carry forward the family liner of Gaoyang Hou. By then, everyone would be respectful to him and no one would laugh at him as a playboy.

However, although this ambition is great, Yan Qi is indeed a playboy in the foreign relatives. He has many clevernesses, but he refuses to put it on the right path. He just wants to make friends with high schools and praise each other. Yan Qi himself knew that his current official position was given by the emperor for the sake of the friendship of youth, but he was complacent about it and felt that this was also his ability.

"Since that's the case, you have thought about how to resolve the disaster of extermination that Yiru said?" Rong poured a basin of cold water on his head without hesitation.

Yan Qi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the "Dream Interpretation Fang Yao" held like a treasure on the desk.

Rong sighed and put away the scrolls of immortals and books.

"You," she said, "I always think about all these things. I don't say that there are strange powers and magic. There is really a shortcut, and you have to walk around with your ability to know. The world's number one, how can you beat others by holding your daughter at home?"

Yan Qi couldn't say that Rong Shi was for a moment. Seeing her tense face, he had to please, "I know the truth, but I just think about it, what's the hurry."

Rong Shi was quite helpless when she saw him posing with a slut.

She thought of Yiru in her heart, but without saying much, she stood up and walked into Yiru's room.

*

As Rong expected, Yiru had not fallen asleep yet.

She has always been like this. At night, she always pesters Chen or Rong, lets them tell stories and coax them to fall asleep.

But today is different. Chen was already sleeping heavily outside, and Yiru was lying in the inner room, still with her eyes open.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Rong and Yi lay down and asked, "But a mosquito is in the tent?"

Yiru looked at her, her eyes flashing with a strange light.

"It's just too hot to sleep," she said.

Rong smiled, picked up the sunny fan beside him, and sniffed it gently.

The cool breeze flows in the gauze tent, carrying the fragrance of Rong's body.

romp like breathing, suddenly feeling a little dazed. The scene of

seems not in front of you, but has been many years later.

At that time, Rong said softly, accompanying her to fall asleep. Yiru always closes her eyes and is always indescribable.

She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and wrapped it around Rong's waist, tightly pressing her against her.

"What's wrong?" Rong said with a smile, "I just said it was hot, but I won't be hot when I pressed my mother?"

"Not hot." Yiru said, "Mother, I want to sleep with you every day in the future."

"Enemy." Rong said, "If you sleep with me, what should A Kai do? There are your third brothers in your belly. If you three sisters and sisters are squeezed together, your mother will be so hot."

Your belly is not your third brother, but your third sister. Yiru couldn't help but say in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face, hugging Rong even tighter.

Rong used a fan with one hand and gently stroked her hair with the other. After a moment, he whispered: "Yiru, are all the words you said in front of your father true?"

Yiru looked up.

Rong looked at her with serious eyes.

Yiru knows that mother and father are different and are not easily intimidated. "It's true." Yiru said aggrievedly, "Don't your mother believe me?"

Rong sighed softly.

"How could my mother not believe you?" she said, "Although you always cause trouble, you have never told a lie in front of your mother. I am afraid that something is hidden in your heart, so I dare not tell my mother, but I use that immortal to fool people."

Yiru couldn't help but be embarrassed.

She naturally can't tell the truth. If Rong had told her that she had been reborn from the dead ten years later, Rong would probably be more willing to believe that she was really possessed.

"I have never been fooled," Yiru said, "Nothing has been hidden in my heart."

"No?" Rong's meaningfulness, "You don't like the prince and don't want to have that marriage, so you say that the emperor will kill us, right?"

Yiru was stunned. Soon, she suddenly remembered that this was indeed a reason.

She heard from Chen that the prince provoked Yiru not long ago.

It was when I was playing in the palace. Yiru wore a new dress and was in a good mood. Unexpectedly, in the palace, she met the prince and a group of playmates Cuju. Whether they were intentional or unintentional, those people kicked Cuju over and knocked Yiru to the ground. The new skirt was splashed with mud and water, and Yiru was so angry that she burst into tears.

Because of this, Yiru told her parents when she came home that she would not marry the prince even if she died.

is naturally not allowed to do this matter. Under Rong's good life persuasion, Yiru did not make trouble again. As time goes by, she can't remember it anymore.

Now that the old things are brought up again, Yiru couldn't help but feel emotion.

I didn’t expect that I could recognize people with such a wise eye back then. This prince is indeed unable to marry even if he dies. Unfortunately, when she understood this, she was indeed going to die.

Yiru knew that when she woke up, she was too shocked and excited, and directly told the future in front of Rong and Yan Qi. If she could figure it out like now and calm down, she would probably have made a long-term plan. Don’t scare your parents too much and make them think they are possessed by evil spirits.

Just as Yiru was considering whether he wanted to follow Rong's guess and change his words, suddenly, footsteps and speech sounds came from outside the boudoir.

"Where is my mother?" This is Yan Kai's voice, "Mother has indeed left A Kai and came to find her sister."

As he spoke, the gauze tent was pulled open, Yan Qi was wearing his bedclothes and holding Yan Kai, standing in front of the bed.

Yan Kai's face was so cried that he wrinkled, and he stretched out his hand to hug him like Rong.

"What's wrong?" Rong asked.

"I had a nightmare and I had to look for you." Yan Qi replied.

Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Let me take care of the young master."

Yan Kai refused, but he just hugged Rong's neck and refused to let go.

Yan Qi was not in a hurry. He sent Chen to get the pillow, but he also got into the bed.

"Yiru's small building is cool." He lay down comfortably and said with a smile, "Our family hasn't been sleeping together for a long time. Yiru came over and gave his mother to Akai, and his father hugged you."

Yiru: "..."

Rong looked at Yan Qi and said angrily: "What do you want to bring Akai here? The four of them squeezed together, it's so hot."

"It's not hot when you sleep." Yan Qi smiled and picked up the sunny fan, fanning the wind, "I have lived in this small building before. Even in the dog days, I have to cover it with a thin quilt at night."

After saying that, he turned to Yiru: "Yiru, why are you still sticking to your mother? Lying down quickly."

Rong comforted the crying Yan Kai and ignored Yan Qi.

Yiru looked around and had to lie down next to Yan Qi.

This is the first time she fell asleep next to her father after she became an adult, and she felt extremely strange. Yan Qi hugged her and sighed, "Unknown to me, my daughter is so old. Next year, you will get married. My father is afraid that even the boudoir will not be able to enter."

Hearing the word "engagement", Yiru's heart moved slightly.

She knew that Yan Qi must have said this, and the emperor had already spoken.

"Father," she said immediately, "If I don't get married, I will stay at home."

"God-telling." Yan Qi pinched her nose and scolded, "My daughter should marry at the age of time. If it weren't for marrying the prince, she would have been decided by a high-ranking family. How could there be a reason to stay at home?"

said this with great pride, but Rong said sarcastically: "You can stay outside and drink more in the future. You don’t know if your daughter is married.”

Yan Qi said "tsk" without refuting, but then smiled again: “When the child is born, I will become five people in the family. At that time, I will make a big bed, and our family of five will fall asleep like this, lively and lively.”

Yili snuggled in her father’s arms, trapped between the couple, listening to them, and they said everything, and the feeling in her heart was wonderful and strange.

Did my father build such a big bed?

She recalled it hard, but she couldn't remember it.

"Yes, it's the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days. Are you ready for everything in the palace?" Yan Qi asked suddenly.

Rong said, "It's been prepared long ago. I have cut new clothes, but I just don't know what to give to the palace. I really don't know what to give. I think about it, but it's always inappropriate."

Yiru was stunned when she heard it.

This is a habit left by Queen Wende during his lifetime. During the Dragon Boat Festival and other festivals, the Yan family would go to the palace to celebrate with the royal family.

To be ironic, just a few days before Yan Qi was killed, the Yan family went to the palace to spend mid-autumn. Humankind is harmonious and beautiful, singing and dancing are peaceful. No one expected that the emperor had already prepared a knife when he was chatting and laughing with Yan Qi.

"What's wrong with that."Yan Qi said, "I really can't think of it, just make some small Nanyang points with your own hands. "

Rong Shi "sneered": "That's why Queen Wende likes to eat. When she was there, she was fooling around. Now the person in charge of the palace is the queen, how could it be so shabby? "

Yan Qi thought for a while and said, "There should be some treasures in the treasury, which were left by his father in the past. You can check it out tomorrow and choose some interesting gifts. The royal family lacks nothing. If we want to give gifts, we can't compare to them. It's nothing more than a festive mood. "

Yan Qi has always been smart in such small matters, and Lian Yiru has to accept it.

Rong responded and said, "That's all right." I saw Yiru grow taller again, her shoes are smaller, and she never prepared to be loose. Two days ago, I asked the manager to find someone to do it, and I don’t know if I can do it well tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Yiru immediately said, “If you can’t do it well, I won’t enter the palace. "

Yan Qi and Rong were both surprised.

" Why didn't you enter the palace? "Yan Qi asked.

I don't want to see the monsters and monsters in the palace, nor do I want to be silly with them.

"My illness has not yet recovered. "Yi Ru was lying, "If you talk nonsense at that time, what should I do..."

before she finished her words, her nose was scratched by Yan Qi.

"I think you are very awake now. "He said, "You have to go even if you go, and you have to go even if you don't. "

Rong only thought she was holding a grudge against the prince that day, and said, "Since you were sick, the emperor and the central palace were very concerned about it and gave me many things. How can you say it if you don’t enter the palace to thank you? "

After saying that, she also touched Yiru's head: "You should be more well-behaved at that time. If your father and mother don't let you say anything, don't talk nonsense, do you know? ”

yi can only answer.
