see you tonight princess

Since that day, Duan Lingge's mind has changed. Although she is weak and seriously ill, she has a strong desire to survive.Another month later, Duan Xi held a national celebration in Zhaoli City to welcome the eldest princess back to court.

At the same time, according to Lan Mo's order, the army that was closed in the east of the town was repeatedly invaded by the army of the Great Eastern Kingdom.Lan Mo sent all Qin Ou's troops to the front line, and took turns to toss for a month. In addition, the coach Qin Ou was dead, and the [-] troops he originally commanded fought bravely to show their loyalty.

In the end, Lan Mo commanded all the [-] troops to make their best use of the cannon made by Xia Lusi on the gate of Zhendong Gate, the crossbow machine designed by Xia Lusi, and the long-range rocket improved by Xia Lusi.For the first time in more than a hundred years, the army of the South Dian Kingdom fought head-on with the army of the Great Eastern Kingdom and fought to the death.

After fighting for a whole day and night, the elite army of Dadongguo was almost wiped out, and the corpses were scattered all over the field.For more than [-] years since then, the Dadong Kingdom has never sent a large army to threaten the border of the South Dian Kingdom. This is a later story.

In Beiguan, Xia Lusi's 21 Jiangzhou Army is an army trained by Xia Lusi using the modern military means of the [-]st century. Xia Lusi has given orders a long time ago, and he will immediately control the situation when he sees the right time.After Duan Lingge woke up, he immediately wrote an imperial decree announcing the death of the ten princes for treason, denouncing the ten crimes, the border army lost its backbone, and the border army besieged in Beiguan was quickly subdued by the Jiangzhou army.

The political situation in Zhaoli City changed even more overnight.The eldest princess suddenly turned, and brought back Xia Mengfu, who was seriously injured. He was also charged with the crime of colluding with the Great Eastern Kingdom and invading the border.

And Xia Mengfu also seemed to have no fighting spirit at all, and he didn't refute, let alone counterattack.He only brought words to the civil and military officials: he is a sinner, let the princess punish him.The affairs of the state are no big or small, and they belong to the eldest princess, so he won't bother me any more.

After letting go of these words, he seemed to keep his promise. No matter how Ren Duan Lingge convicted him, how Ren Duan Lingge cleaned up the people he had protected before, and how Ren Duan Lingge implemented a thorough reform of state affairs, he always Stay behind closed doors and never talk about political affairs again.

When Xia Mengfu fell, another group of big families headed by Huanggu Duan Lan and Zheng Zuocheng were about to make a move.Then came the news of the deaths of Huanggu Duan Lan, Ten Princes and Zheng Zuocheng.

The great families suddenly discovered that the sky was about to change.

At this time, Duan Xi was already 13 years old, and he was only seven years old when he ascended the throne.When he was eight years old, he studied with Xia Lvsi. In the next five years, he has grown from an eight-year-old child to a half-year-old boy.Under Duan Lingge's careful teaching, although she is young, she has received Duan Lingge's true teaching in doing things.

Duan Xi saw the right time and quickly obeyed Duan Lingge's government order and the strategy taught by Duan Lingge to suppress the aristocratic family's eagerness to move.At this time, everyone in the world came to their senses: before they knew it, the eldest princess had single-handedly controlled the military and political power of Nandian Kingdom.

And the financial power of the royal family is backed by the Jiangzhou controlled by the son-in-law and the large amount of land controlled by the royal family. It has long been impossible for any family or a combination of several families to compete.

The situation has already changed, and the sea has already changed.

The current Southern Dian Kingdom can be regarded as a wasteland. A large number of fertile fields need to be cultivated, a large number of official positions need to be filled with talents, and all walks of life such as agriculture, industry, technology and technology are thriving.It opened a period of prosperity and splendor unique in history.

Li Ru is so busy every day that he does not touch the ground, but he is overjoyed in his heart. In the past, he loved to chat with Xia Lusi about the great creation he created now.But now, every time he goes to Jingmei Building, he finds Lan Mo and Fang Cuijiao to express his pride and ambition.

He clicked his tongue and sighed: "His Royal Highness the eldest princess is also a god, and the summer concubine is also a god! They have accumulated a lot of money, and they were so calm before that. No one can understand the strategy behind what they did. But really And the hair, all the old appearances and new ones, the speed is astonishing, and the seconds are amazing."

"Just like back then, Prince Xia came to me to do that...renovation for her. A curtain was placed outside the Jingmei Building, Mrs. Fang, so that no one could see it. She said it was called a diorama and could not be dismantled. Afterwards, I had a lot of trouble. , I don’t know why it is sold. Once the decoration is completed, it will shock the world when you look at it again.”

Fang Cuijiao thought it was funny, and she covered her mouth and laughed: "Master Li's sycophantic flattery is not for His Royal Highness, but what's the use of saying it for our Lord Lan? My wooden lord can't hold back a few words in a day. Absolutely will not convey these words to the princess, my lord, if you want to make the princess happy, you should say it in front of the princess."

Li Ru stammered and said with a red face, "Old man, this is a sincere compliment, not for the eldest princess to hear it. However, if I can please the princess by saying good things about meritorious deeds, I would rather say it in front of her, but ,well……"

Having said that, Lan Mo and Fang Cuijiao couldn't help but sigh.Duan Lingge has devoted all her energy and thought to this year, and her diligence in political affairs has almost reached the point of paranoia—forgetting sleep and eating, and acting vigorously and resolutely.Not only is the method fierce, but the princess's character is also more serene and melancholy.

Ever since Xia Lusi passed away, the princess has been depressed and unhappy, and she hardly talks to others except for official business. In addition to political affairs, it is usually political affairs, as if she wants to handle all the government affairs of the whole world every day. There is no entertainment.

The princess didn't feel it at all. It can also be said that the princess closed her emotions and feelings. Since she came back from Jiangzhou, she would not tell anyone about her emotions.Xiao'e and Lan Mo saw it, felt distressed but could do nothing, and now even the ministers around her began to worry about her state.

Lan Mo sighed and said, "Counting the days, today is the day when Xiao Zhuzi will do a big event in the cave, and I have to rush back to the Scarlet Smoke Pavilion."

But at this moment in the Scarlet Smoke Pavilion, Duan Lingge specially moved all the things to the corridor on a sunny winter day.Duan Lingge carefully hung up these things one by one, and gently brushed off the wrinkles on the clothes with a feather duster.

There was a sheet of rice paper with many crooked characters written on it, but Duan Lingge regarded each sheet as a treasure, patiently spreading it out to dry, and even bent over with a gentle smile to read the words on it carefully.

There are also items one by one, such as sachets, belts, backpacks, pen and ink supplies, even tea cups, combs, hair bands, hairpins... many common items.Duan Lingge would pick up each piece and wipe it carefully, and then quietly recall how Xia Lvsi used them before.

Xiao'e took out a small box of things and put it at Duan Lingge's feet: "Princess, I took out all the things of the concubine according to your instructions. But you have to take out the things of the concubine every season and tidy up everything by yourself. , Wipe it, you are too tired, you have to be busy for several days every time. Do you really want the maidservant to help?"

Duan Lingge said softly: "No need. She doesn't have many things, so she's not tired. I have to tidy up everything carefully before I can rest assured."

"Oh." Xiao'e sighed secretly.She knew that this was how the princess missed her son-in-law.After the son-in-law is gone, even she can't touch everything and every piece of paper belonging to the son-in-law. She can only do some lifting work for the princess. The princess never pretends to clean up such things.

When Lan Mo came back, she stood beside Xiao'e and cupped her hands and said, "Princess, the painting has been delivered. Lan Mo ordered someone to hang it up carefully, and wait for you to dust and inspect it yourself."

Only at this kind of moment would Duan Lingge show a happy smile: "Really. I'll go and have a look."

In the study room, the portrait Duan Lingge personally painted and gave to Xia Lusi to make her happy was the first time Xia Lusi brought it back to Duan Lingge after she was gone.Duan Lingge caressed the painting lightly, stroking the piece of red jade in the painting, there was an illusion of time and space intertwined... as if it had been a lifetime.

There was water in Duan Lingge's eyes, but she didn't let the tears fall, she smiled and said softly: "You don't know how surprised Ah Si was when he saw this painting, how much he liked it... just count it Time, today is the time for Xiao Zhuzi to hide the red jade in the painting. I remember every word Ah Si said, since she said it, I believe that one day, she will come back to me around."

"Princess!" Lan Mo couldn't help crying after hearing this.

It turned out that the first thing the princess did after waking up in Jiangzhou was to draw every detail of the cave where Xia Lvsi saw her portrait that Xia Lvsi had described to her.Then Duan Lingge asked Xiao Zhuzi to find the best painter and stonemason in the world.

She asked Xiao Zhuzi to supervise this matter in person, and secretly led the painter and stonemason to find the cave in the deep mountain under the guidance of Hua Baiqing.Xiao Zhuzi stayed inside for a whole year, took Duan Lingge's paintings, painted the portraits on the rock walls in the cave, and painted every detail in the cave, including some carved stone tables and chairs, Carvings and other things are all arranged in the cave.

In the end, Duan Lingge handed the jade to Lan Mo to escort him to the cave. Xiao Zhuzi made an agreement with her that after hiding the ruby ​​in the painting today, the day when Xia Lvsi fell off the cliff a year ago, Let the artist finish the last part of the painting.

Because Xia Lvsi once told Duan Lingge that if she really disappeared one day, he would go to that cave, draw Duan Lingge's portrait on the rock wall, and put the red jade in it.Maybe thousands of years later, when Xia Lvsi was born in the long river of history, she will still follow the predetermined trajectory, go to that cave, see Duan Lingge's portrait, get this ruby, and meet her in a dream See you, then fall off the cliff and come back here to find her.

At that time, Xia Lusi was only telling a joke to coax Duan Lingge, but Duan Lingge would rather believe that they really had such a chance in the dark.She also remembered everything Xia Lvsi said about the parallel world and her world 1000 years later. She firmly believed that there must be a reason for so many magical encounters and coincidences.

"Don't laugh at me... I believe what Ah Si said must be some kind of chance. Every day and night this year, I have survived by this belief. I have relied on this kind of waiting Only when you are in a good mood can you hold back the pain in your heart and get through every day when you lose her."

When Duan Lingge spoke, she had a gentle and calm smile on her face. In fact, she saw clearly in every word, and she couldn't be more sober in the world—but even so, she was still willing to look forward to being able to be with Xia Lvsi Reunion, I am willing to look forward to the arrangement of destiny, let her and Xia Lvsi stay together.

However, how can a dead person be resurrected?Both Lan Mo and Xiao'e knew that this was just a request from the princess.But seeing the princess so happy today, even smiling for the first time in a year, how can people not shed tears for her infatuation and persistence?

"Princess..." Xiao'e couldn't help crying secretly.

Xiao'e and Lan Mo just looked at each other and wept into tears. Only Duan Lingge gently wiped away the painting that had traveled thousands of miles from the cave back to her with a peaceful smile.

That night, Duan Lingge went to bed early.In the past year, she has never slept peacefully and comfortably once, but this day, she fell asleep with a peaceful and sweet mood, just like every night when Xia Lusi held her in her arms in the past.

However, when Duan Lingge woke up the next day, she found that everything in the world was the same, Xia Lvsi did not even appear in her dream.What Xia Lusi gave her was actually such a dreamless and deep sleep.

What he held in his hand was only Xia Lvsi's four-pointed star flower.Duan Lingge recalled Xia Lusi kissing her tenderly that day, and said with a smile: "I will dedicate all my honor to you, my princess. I will dedicate all my love to you, my princess. I I want to give you my whole being, because Ling Ge is my wife. I love you very much."

Duan Lingge held Xinghua and pressed it to her chest, crying for the first time this year.For a person who has been self-sufficient for too long, her collapse often only takes a moment.Duan Lingge broke down and cried sadly, her heart ached—"A Si...why didn't you come to me?"

"Princess!"

"Princess!"

Xiao'e and Lan Mo stayed outside the bedroom all night without sleep.When they heard the sound, they rushed in immediately. Although they had expected it, they still felt sorry for Duan Lingge's collapse at this moment.

"Princess, princess woo woo woo," Xiao'e knelt in front of Duan Lingge on her knees, crying and shaking Duan Lingge's hand: "Don't do this...don't wait for her anymore. She, she won't will come."

"Heh..." Duan Lingge wept on his back, as if he had endured to the extreme, and then let out a long sigh.Her eyes were blurred by tears, but her pupils became clear and firm because of tears.

Duan Lingge said softly, "If that's the case, I'll go find her."
