Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

From July when the cicadas sang in midsummer, Lin Haotian took Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning all the way back to Beijing.After walking for nearly two months, and now it is the beginning of autumn and September, a group of people celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th on the road.Zhao Xiyan and his party have already arrived in Shangluo, and they will arrive in the capital tomorrow.When Zhao Xiyan arrived in Shangluo, he learned from the people that Rongluo Village was massacred overnight more than a year ago. Zhao Xiyan remembered what happened back then and just sighed.

"My lord, please follow your subordinates before entering the capital at night. Now the capital is full of the prince's eyeliner. Once you appear in the capital, the prince may attack you immediately."

"Tomorrow, when I go to Beijing, I will go to Beijing in the daytime, and I want everyone in the capital to know that my king has returned to Beijing."

"My lord! I'm afraid this time is inappropriate!"

"This time is the most appropriate. When I enter the city gate tomorrow, I will tell the gatekeeper that the prince is in the carriage. Everyone will know that King Duan has returned to Beijing this time. Everyone knows that if the crown prince chooses If he strikes at this time, he will not be able to escape the reputation of murdering his younger brother. Even if he hates me, he would not dare to bear such a vicious crime, but it will not benefit him in the slightest."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Xia Shuning's stomach is already seven months old, and the fetus is very stable, but Zhao Xiyan is always worried that the bumpy road will not be good for the child.It was not until the next morning that he set off and entered the capital.The carriage drove to the city gate, and as usual, the carriages entering the capital were searched, so the guards naturally stopped Zhao Xiyan's carriage.

"Who is here! Get out of the car quickly, and I will search for you!"

"Let me go quickly, His Royal Highness Duan Wang is sitting in the carriage!" The gate guard saw that although the carriage was good, it was not a royal carriage, and Emperor Shaoyuan had announced to the world that King Duan had been missing for more than a year. Duan Wang.

"No one in the world knows that His Royal Highness Duan Wang has been missing for a long time, you are fooling this general! People in the car get out of the car quickly!"

"My lord has been missing for a long time and now he is returning to Beijing, it's disrespectful for you to wait!"

"Get out of the car quickly, or I will drag you to Dali Temple and sue you for the crime of pretending to be a prince! This is a serious crime of beheading, I advise you to be more sensible!"

"you!"

"Haotian, stop talking nonsense with him. This king will get out of the car now!"

What Zhao Xiyan said was intentional, Lin Haotian lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Zhao Xiyan came out and stepped on the servant's back to the ground.The gatekeeper has been stationed for many years, how could he not know King Duan?I saw Zhao Xiyan standing in front of the carriage, staring at the gatekeeper with slightly angry eyes.The gatekeeper saw that this was the living King Duan, and he knelt down in fright.

"I don't know that the prince will return to the capital because of the humble position, so I ask the prince to forgive me!"

"Those who don't know are not guilty. This king has been away from Beijing for a year and a half. The gatekeeper, you are being careful this time, but you are doing your duty. There is nothing wrong with it. Get up quickly."

"My lord is generous, thank you lord."

"Okay, since the king won't return to the mansion for a long time, there will be no delay."

"Congratulations to the lord!"

"This king has something to entrust to you. I wonder if the gatekeeper is willing to work hard for this king?"

"It's a great honor to be able to serve the prince!"

"Hurry up and send people to the palace to spread the word, saying that the king is back, and because of the exhaustion of the boat, the side concubine Xia is pregnant, and I will enter the palace tomorrow morning to plead guilty to my father, mother and concubine."

"Humble job, immediately go and deliver the message for the prince!"

"Then trouble the gatekeeper."

The gatekeeper didn't dare to get up until Zhao Xiyan boarded the carriage and headed for the capital.As soon as Zhao Xiyan entered the capital, the prince's eyeliner saw it, and hurried back to the East Palace to report.The prince was a little annoyed, but he was not impatient.Now that King Duan has the guts to come back, he can kill him again.Emperor Shaoyuan was very excited when he received the news that King Duan was back alive, but when the guards came to report that King Duan was tired from traveling and traveling, Emperor Shaoyuan originally wanted to summon him immediately, so he could only wait.Imperial Concubine Xia knew that Zhao Xiyan was going back to the capital. Although she was anxious to see him, she knew that he had not recovered from serious injuries and had traveled a long time. She was afraid that he would have a rest, so she also ordered Degui to go to the Taiji Palace tomorrow. people.

As Prince Duan's mansion was getting closer, Zhao Xiyan became more and more uneasy, how could Xia Shuning not notice it.Xia Shuning was also very worried that she would have to meet the concubine's sister when she returned to Prince Duan's mansion. What if Su Qingshu asked for forgiveness from her husband, how would she deal with herself?The concubine is the official wife he is marrying, and the two have had an infinite love, and Bo Yuan once had a child.No matter what, the two of them also have a relationship that is constantly arguing and chaotic.Xia Shuning caressed her big belly uneasily, she couldn't see through Zhao Xiyan who was frowning.After thinking about it, the princess hurt her husband deeply, and she didn't want anyone to mention a word, so she stroked Zhao Xiyan's cheek, feeling distressed.No matter how unwilling to go back to this sad place, the carriage stopped.

"My lord, my side concubine, the palace is here."

Hearing the sound, Zhao Xiyan shook Xia Shuning back, "I'm fine, don't worry." Zhao Xiyan got out of the car, and Xia Shuning was also helped out of the car by Zhao Xiyan.The gate of Prince Duan's Mansion was closed tightly, and because Lin Haotian was a secret guard, he was sent here and left.The boy went to the door and knocked, and it took a long time before anyone answered.

"May I ask who is my little brother?" It was Li Bo, an old man in Duanwang's mansion who opened the door, and he opened the door only one person wide.

"Li Bo, I am Ruozhu who is serving the concubine in Changxia Garden. The prince and concubine are back, open the door quickly!"

When Li Bo heard that the prince and the concubine had returned, his eyes widened immediately, and in a blink of an eye, it was really the prince and the concubine.He hurriedly opened the door, and hurried to Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning.

"The old servant welcomes the prince and the side concubine back to the mansion!"

"Libo, get up, you're quite old, you don't want to make such a big gift."

"This old slave is so happy. The prince and empress are back, so this prince's mansion is angry!"

"Okay, Li Bo, hurry back to your room and rest. The king and the side concubine are exhausted, so we need to rest quickly."

"Okay, okay!" Li Bo's joy was beyond words, and he hurriedly bowed his body and respectfully invited the prince back to the mansion.

As soon as Zhao Xiyan supported Xia Shuning into the mansion, Li Bo kept shouting that the prince is back, the prince is back.Attracting all the servants in the mansion to look at it, Zhao Xiyan felt bitter and unwilling to make any effort, so he helped Xia Shuning go straight to Changxia Garden.Knowing that the prince and concubine are back, Xiangyun hurried to Changxia Garden.

"My lord, you are back."

"This is not the time to exchange pleasantries, hurry up and prepare some food and boil some hot water."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Also, go back to my king's room right away and move all my things to Changxia Garden. I will live here in the future."

Xiangyun hurriedly ran to order the kitchen and the boy who boiled the water, and hurriedly took people to Zhao Xiyan's original room to move things.Xia Shuning laughed, the first thing this person did when he returned home was to move all his nests here.Xia Shuning suddenly felt that she had the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman, and even questioned this person's feelings for her.The two have gone through life and death several times before they can tell each other their hearts and love each other, so there is nothing to doubt.Xiangyun quickly brought the food, and after Zhao Xiyan and Xia Shuning washed up, they ate the snacks together.After eating the snacks, Zhao Xiyan personally tested the water temperature for Xia Shuning, and told the servants to take care of Xia Shuning's bath.Xia Shuning laughed at him again, and quickly coaxed him to wash off the dust in the palace bath.Xiangyun hugged Zhao Xiyan's clothes and hung them on the screen of the bathtub, then withdrew. Zhao Xiyan was taking a bath in the bathtub at the moment.He still doesn't know how to face Su Qingshu, he has hatred, resentment, and anger, but he has no way to be as vicious and cruel as she is to him.

Within a moment of Zhao Xiyan's return to the mansion, the news of his return spread widely, and at the same time, the news that Xia Shuning was pregnant with a big belly also spread.The palace was filled with rare joy, the palace had been vacant for a long time, so of course it was boiling up and down.Yinger got the news, and excitedly rushed to the Buddhist hall to inform Su Qingshu.

"Yinger, why are you in such a panic?"

"Miss, stop chanting! The prince is back!"

"What did you say?" The wooden fish in Su Qingshu's hand dropped, his pupils dilated, his lips and hands were trembling.

"My lord is back! He's back safe and sound!"

"really?"

"There are still holidays. A lot of people from the Wangfu crowded into Changxia Garden to serve them."

"Hurry up, I'm going to see the lord." Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns, the longing has already eaten away her heart, how could she sit still.

"Miss, how could the prince like you in plain clothes!"

"Hurry up, fetch water to freshen up, change into clothes and put on makeup for me."

With tears in his eyes, Su Qingshu's nose twitched, mixed with too many complicated things.Her longing, her guilt, and her regret burst out at this moment.Yinger hurriedly fetched hot water, washed Su Qingshu, carefully traced the makeup of the prince's favorite lady in the past, dressed Su Qingshu in lotus-colored clothes, and put on the golden hairpin that the prince bestowed on Su Qingshu many years ago.After a long time, Su Qingshu took on a completely new look, regaining the beauty of the 16-year-old newlywed Duanwang's mansion in the past.Su Qingshu pursed her red lips, and carefully looked at herself in the bronze mirror, longing for the prince to see this face, to think of the young man's love for husband and wife, and to rekindle the old relationship with her.She will definitely not do those things that hurt him, hurt him, or bully him again, only for him.After finishing her makeup, Shu Qingshu hurried to Changxia Garden to ask to see Zhao Xiyan.Unexpectedly, not only she came here to ask for an interview, but even Qiu Ruyu and Zhao Qichen, and Ulanya and Zhao Qirui were already waiting.Seeing Su Qingshu approaching, Qiu Ruyu took Zhao Qichen and blessed her body to salute her.Ulanya has no status in the palace, but she is a princess of a country, and her status is more noble than Su Qingshu, so she just nodded and said hello.But after all, Zhao Qirui was already Zhao Xiyan's second son in name, and when he met the mistress of the mansion, he followed Zhao Qichen to salute.

"My concubine, Qiu, has seen the princess."

"Qichen has seen the concubine mother."

"Qi Rui met the concubine mother."

"Don't be too polite."

Su Qingshu came, Xiangyun waited on Zhao Xiyan to take a bath in the bathing pool, only Xia Shuning took a bath and changed clothes in Changxia Garden.The servants and servants of Chang Xia Garden saw a group of nobles waiting in the side hall, and when Xia Shuning got dressed, they rushed to report.Xia Shuning knew that they were anxious and wanted to see Zhao Xiyan.But her husband-in-law is not in the garden now, Xia Shuning thought that as a concubine returning to the mansion, she would follow the rules to visit her first wife first.Ruoshui supported Xia Shuning and went to the side hall.Xia Shuning's belly in the past eight months was already very big, which was very eye-catching.As soon as they entered the side hall, the women all looked at Xia Shuning's stomach, and they had already overturned several pots of old vinegar in their hearts.Su Qingshu was even more like a bolt from the blue, and his heart was cut like a knife.

"My concubine is from the Xia family, and I have met the princess sister."

"Sister Ruyu, how about you come in? I don't know who this is?"

"This princess is the Sixth Princess of Mobei."

"I have seen Her Royal Highness."

Xia Shuning knew that Qi Rui, born to Princess Mobei, had been recorded under Zhao Xiyan's name, but she had never met Ulanya before, so she was indeed a rare beauty, more exotic than Central Plains women.Xia Shuning took a closer look at Qi Rui again. Although she was only over three years old, she looked like Ulanya in her small appearance, but she had nothing in common with Zhao Xiyan, and she knew in her heart that Qi Rui was not her husband's child .None of the two young gentlemen in the hall were Zhao Xiyan's own flesh and blood, but Xia Shuning's belly was Zhao Xiyan's own flesh and blood.But whether Su Qingshu, Ulanya, or Qiu Ruyu, the three women didn't know about it.Knowing that Xia Shuning had just returned to the palace, Qiu Ruyu was probably very confused, so she took the initiative to explain why Ulanya was in the palace.Xia Shuning didn't care, the women had their own concerns and were kind on the surface.Ulanya has a straightforward temper, and she didn't learn how they exchanged pleasantries, so she went straight in.

"Where is the prince?" These were the thoughts of the women, but they didn't ask out of face, they just chatted and teased the two children.Xia Shuning asked when she heard that Ulanya couldn't hold back, and felt that the Mobei girl was really straightforward.Xia Shuning smiled slightly, Su Qingshu and Qiu Ruyu stared at her with anticipation.

"My lord is taking a bath and changing clothes in the bath, and I will meet you in a while, sisters, don't worry."

"The princess immediately went to the bath to find him!"

"Princess, don't worry, the prince is back this time, can he run away? The journey is tiring, the prince is a little tired."

"My lord, is... okay?"

Su Qingshu couldn't help asking her what happened to the prince.After all, she was stabbed by her own hand and fell off such a high cliff.She always thought that the prince would not survive, so she committed suicide to atone for her sins, but now that she is back, how could she not worry about his injuries.Seeing her sad face, Xia Shuning sighed slightly, then returned to Su Qingshu with a smile.

"Sister Wangfei, don't worry, the prince is fine."

"really?"

"really."

The three women kept asking where did the prince go these missing days?Why don't you return to Beijing earlier?Why didn't even a letter of safety come?Naturally, Xia Shuning couldn't tell the truth, just when she was in a dilemma, Xiangyun came to spread the word.

"Your Majesty, the prince has finished bathing and changing clothes and returned to Everlasting Summer Garden. Seeing that you are not here, I want the younger one to come and invite you back."

"The prince is in Changxia Garden? This princess is going to see him!"

Su Qingshu and Qiu Ruyu saw Ulanya rushing to go, so they also got up and wanted to chase after her.But Xiangyun stopped them, "How dare you stop me from waiting!"

"The young one didn't dare to stop him even if he had 1 courage. It's just that the prince ordered him to rest for a while. He will come to meet all the ladies and gentlemen for the family banquet in the mansion in the evening."

The women heard it, so they had no choice but to go back to their seats. Su Qingshu almost fell down on the chair, his eyes glazed over.Qiu Ruyu's eyes darkened again and again, thanks to Qi Chen holding her hand, saying that she was sleepy, so she didn't think about Zhao Xiyan comforting her son.Ulanya was a little annoyed that this person hadn't come back for such a long time, but he didn't see her when he came back.Xia Shuning bid them farewell and returned to the room.Xia Shuning entered the door and saw that Zhao Xiyan had already changed into his clothes and was lying on the bed, asleep, and the room was lit with sleeping incense.Xia Shuning lay on the imperial concubine chair beside her with her stomach in her arms, and looked at this man's sleeping face.He had just returned home, and he really didn't want to let these women bother him, how could she not know?
