marry queen

Chapter 25 Extra Story 1: The Moon is Full of the West Tower

Zheng Wan'er and Mo Yanjun met for the first time when they were ten years old.

At that time, Zheng Wan'er's aunt still had the hope of having a child, so she didn't pay much attention to her, the concubine whose aunt died. Although the Tai Tuo loved her, but he had too little time at home, Zheng Wan'er and all the concubines in the world Like a woman, she lives cautiously, she is aloof and never makes friends with outsiders, even though she occasionally goes out to the streets, no young lady will invite her out.

It was a bright and clear morning, Zheng Wan'er took her maid to the street to do some shopping, she saw a good piece of rouge in Nan Yan Ji, and was hesitating, Dugu Ming, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family, also fell in love with the same piece Yan Zhi, she looked down at Zheng Wan'er, as if she was in a position to win, she had a noble status, Zheng Wan'er did not have the qualifications to compete with her, coupled with the fact that she was shy, she put Yan Zhi down without saying a word, and turned to leave.Another lady who came with Dugu Ming, who was about the same age as her, saw this, whispered a few words to Dugu Ming, picked up the rouge and chased out the door, grabbed Zheng Waner's sleeve, Zheng Waner turned her head and saw her Smiling with crooked brows and eyes, "You take it, sister Ming'er doesn't like this, but I like it when I see you."

Zheng Wan'er was dazzled by the sun, she was stunned for a moment, pulled back her sleeves, and said very coldly: "No need, I have no money."

The girl smiled again, but the smile did not make people feel the slightest ridicule. Her immature face was full of kindness and innocence. She said, "Then I will give it to you. You have fair skin. You must look good with this."

A ten-year-old girl knows what kind of skin looks good with what kind of rouge, and judging by her overall demeanor, she must be a young lady.Zheng Wan'er looked at her suspiciously. You must know that no daughter-in-law in the capital was willing to get close to her, so Wan'er asked her, "Whose family are you young lady?"

She smiled and said, "My name is Mo Yanjun, and my father is the King of Zhennan. This is the first time I return to Beijing to report on my duties with him. What about you?"

It turned out to be the daughter of the prestigious Zhennan King, Wan'er didn't want to make friends with her, so she stuffed the box of rouge back into her hand: "The princess is precious, I dare not take your things, the princess should take it back. "

Mo Yanjun didn't understand why she did this, she blinked her big eyes, tilted her head, and was about to ask again, when Dugu Ming, who had already bought something, came out and called her: "Jun'er, let's go."

After Zheng Wan'er greeted Dugu Ming, she left with her head down. Mo Yanjun was also held by Dugu Ming and left in the opposite direction. Do you want to come and play together?"

Zheng Wan'er ignored her.

Du Guming took Xiao Yanjun's hand, frowned and said: "That's the concubine of Taifu's mansion, why are you playing with her?"

Xiao Yanjun raised her head and said innocently: "But in southern Yunnan, my sister born to my father's concubine and I also had a good time. I think she is very pitiful and has no friends."

"You have to learn to associate with people who are beneficial to you. That's called a friend. You and her are not the same." Dugu will be a few years older next year, and he will give Xiao Yanjun the principles of dating, but Xiao Yanjun holds the box Rouge, who hadn't sent it out, was in a daze and didn't listen at all.

After Zheng Wan'er walked a long distance, she turned around and saw that girl was no longer on the street. For a long time, she was the first daughter of an official family who was willing to take the initiative to make friends with her, and she was also a princess. Even Zheng Wan'er No matter how indifferent her thoughts are, she is only ten years old after all, she still longs to have a playmate, but she knows that she and Mo Yanjun have very different identities, it is impossible to play together, even the horse racing event in the future, Only the daughter of a nobleman in Beijing can be invited to visit, she is not qualified to go.

Sighing softly in her heart, Wan'er got rid of those thoughts that shouldn't be delusional, and returned to Tai Tuo's residence.What she didn't expect was that when Tai Tuo came back from court the next day, he brought her a ticket for a horse race, saying it was a gift from a colleague in the court, and he had no other children, so he gave it she.

Mrs. Taifu was still very reluctant, and she didn't want the concubine to go out to show her face, but she didn't dare to disobey after Master Taifu said something. On the morning of the horse racing event, she arranged clothes and a carriage for her to go out, and told her to go out. She had a lot of things to say, but she couldn't show her face, she couldn't get into conflict with other girls, etc. Zheng Wan'er answered them one by one, got into the carriage, and headed to the west suburb racecourse.

In the early spring weather, she was wearing a water-blue double-breasted skirt, her hair was combed in a double-cloud bun, and she didn't wear too many accessories. Her face with a little baby fat showed a calmness that was rare at her age. Sitting in the carriage, she was already thinking Piaoyuan, I don't know if the princess of that day still remembers her.

The racecourse is very lively, and almost all the nobles and ladies in the capital have arrived. Zheng Wan'er has no one to socialize with, so she finds a corner and sits down, trying to minimize her sense of presence. At the same time, she looks around, looking for Mo Yanjun. Thinking, if she came, I would go say hello and thank her for the gift that day, if she didn't come, then that's all.

After looking around but seeing no one, Zheng Wan'er lowered her head in disappointment, and was about to sit down for a while before going back. When a gust of wind passed, she heard the sound of clinking rings, and when she looked up, she saw a brilliant Smiling face, Mo Yanjun did not know when she had already walked in front of her, smiling at her against the light, "You are here!"

Today she is wearing a riding outfit in southern Yunnan, with tassels on the hat and sleeves, and her hair is braided into strands and strands. She looks very cute. Zheng Wan'er was frightened by her enthusiasm, so she stood up and gave it to her. When she greeted her, Mo Yanjun took her hand and said with a smile: "Don't greet me, we are out to play today, by the way, I don't know your name yet?"

"My name is Zheng Wan'er, and my father is Taifu." Zheng Wan'er has never been so close to Bi Ren, and she felt a little embarrassed when she held her hand.

Yan Jun said: "Wan'er, what a good name, don't be alone in the future, can we be friends?"

Wan'er said cautiously: "The princess has a noble status, Wan'er dare not climb high."

Yan Jun puffed her face and pointed at her with her fingers: "Don't say such things again, and don't call me the princess, you can call me Yan Jun! Actually, I am also very lonely. This is the first time I come to the capital. Although my father wants to know Sister Er is with me, but Sister Minger has so many classes to attend every day, she has no time at all, and there are so many rules in the capital, I am very scared."

Zheng Wan'er really didn't see Dugu Ming just now, thinking that Mo Yanjun came here by herself today, and seeing that she was really thin and small, she could only let her hold hands, and nodded solemnly, "In the future, if you want to go to If you are afraid of playing in the street, call someone to come to Taifu's mansion to call me, and I will accompany you."

"Great, I knew you were a good person." Mo Yanjun said as she took out the box of rouge before, "So can you accept it now?"

Zheng Wan'er hesitated for a moment, showed a rare smile, took the rouge, and whispered: "Thank you." Then she thought that she didn't have any gift for her, she felt embarrassed for a moment, thinking that she must make it up another day.

While the two were chatting, several twelve or thirteen-year-old sons from aristocratic families came towards them. When they saw Mo Yanjun, they said, "Seeing how you are dressed like this, you must be the princess from southern Yunnan, right? Your father fought So powerful, you must also be very powerful, dare to race horses with us?"

Mo Yanjun didn't know that the son of a noble family in the capital would provoke a little girl, so she only brought two maids with her this time. At this moment, they suddenly made an attack. Mo Yanjun was afraid, so she took a step back, and the two maids stepped forward immediately. Protecting the master, he said: "How can the princess race horses with others casually? If the young masters want to compete, the servants are willing to learn."

The son of the family turned his face and said angrily: "A mere servant is worthy of being compared with us? Since she doesn't race horses, why is she dressed like this? Could it be that she is as cowardly as a mouse and doesn't have the aura of Zhennan King at all, really lost it The face of King Zhennan."

The son of the aristocratic family shouldn't care about the young lady, but they are notoriously naughty, and they never pay attention to the rules and etiquette.Mo Yanjun was targeted, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Although she was the daughter of King Zhennan, but because of her poor health since she was a child, King Zhennan didn't let her learn horseback riding and archery. She only wore such clothes today because I like it, seeing the other party being aggressive, and more and more people gathered around. Although there were voices scolding a few teenagers in the crowd, most of them were silent spectators. It was her father's face, Mo Yanjun didn't know what to do for a moment, she was on the verge of crying, tears rolled in her eyes.

Suddenly she was grabbed by the hand and dragged behind her, Zheng Wan'er stood in front of her to block her, and said to those people: "Sister Yanjun is not feeling well today, why don't I compare her with the young masters?"

"Who are you?" One of the playboys pointed at her and asked.

Zheng Wan'er said calmly: "I am the only daughter of the Tai Tuo, am I qualified to compete with you?"

"Hmph! What do you compare us to, a nerd? What if you lose?"

"If you lose, I will punish you guys. If you lose, I will apologize to Yan Jun." Zheng Wan'er said coldly.

Several dandy teenagers laughed, thinking that she was hitting a stone with an egg, so they immediately agreed.

A few people went to the racecourse to pick horses, Mo Yanjun took Zheng Wan'er's hand and shook her head: "Wan'er don't go."

Wan'er smiled at her, "Don't worry, I will definitely ask them to come and apologize to you."

After picking out the horses, each of them stood on the track. Zheng Wan'er didn't bring her riding clothes. Her maid tied up her sleeves for her. She got on the horse. She looked like a heroine at such a young age. She turned her head to look at the crowd. Mo Yanjun in the movie, Yanjun's red dress is very dazzling, Zheng Wan'er secretly vowed that she must not lose.

In the end, of course she won. At the last lap, her horse galloped like crazy. Zheng Wan'er held on to the rein tightly so that she didn't fall off the horse. After the horse ran to the finish line, it was still moving forward. Chong, the crowd scattered in fright, Zheng Waner tugged on the reins, the horse neighed, raised its front hooves high, and finally stopped in front of the guardrail, ten-year-old Zheng Waner looked like a hero from a distance on the horseback Looking at Mo Yanjun, he grinned at her.

After that time, the relationship between Zheng Wan'er and Mo Yanjun became more and more intimate. When Yanjun stayed in the capital, she often played with Wan'er in the Taifu Mansion, eating at the same table and sleeping in the same bed. Because of her status, she respects her very much, and even her attitude towards Wan'er has improved.

After Zhennan King's report was over, Yanjun returned to southern Yunnan, and they often communicated with each other. Even though they were separated by such a long distance, they never had a trace of life.

Concubine Zheng was sitting in a corner pavilion in the courtyard of Guangyang Palace. There was a pot of wine and two wine glasses on the round stone table in front of her. What is left behind by horse racing can no longer be eliminated.She couldn't win the horse race that day, but in the end she got angry, pulled out the red hairpin from her head and stabbed it hard on the horse's buttocks. The horse was frightened and ran wildly, which led her to win the race, and her hand was also strangled by the reins There was blood, she wiped off the blood as soon as she got off the horse, without letting Yanjun find out.

Now she can't remember why she did that at that time, she only knows that the red in the crowd is very beautiful, and she doesn't want to see her cry.

The scars have faded over time, but the plants and trees of that day, Yan Jun's frown and smile, have always been deeply engraved in her heart, and she has never forgotten it.

Gently stroking the scar on the palm of my hand, the past came to my mind inch by inch.

When Yanjun was 14 years old, she was sent back to live in the capital by the King of Zhennan. The two who grew up as young girls became closer. Each of the beautiful Zhuchai usually had one. If there was only one, each of them would wear it for a day; If you order delicious food, you will definitely bring a copy to another person; you must make two sets of good-looking clothes in different colors; even the handwriting, Wan'er is more and more like Yanjun.

At that time, Mrs. Tai Fu also knew that she was not destined to have children, so she began to raise Wan'er as a legitimate daughter, and her demeanor made people dare not look down upon her.

Today, the two of them were sitting in the boudoir looking at the embroidery. Wan'er pointed to a double-stalked lily and said with a smile: "This flower is beautiful. I want to embroider it into a handkerchief. Can I give you one?"

Yan Jun glanced at it, and covered her mouth with a snicker, "I heard Mammy said that the Bingdi flower is a flower of love, I don't want it, you can embroider it and give it to your love brother."

The 14-year-old girl has reached the age of Huaichun. Wan'er was made fun of like this, and she was immediately ashamed and annoyed. She rushed over and wanted to tear Yanjun's mouth, "Okay, how dare you laugh at me! See if I don't tear your mouth apart! "

Yanjun smiled and avoided them, and the two immediately had a quarrel. In the end, Yanjun was no match and begged for mercy repeatedly. Wan'er pinched her face and asked her, "Do you still dare to laugh at me?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, my good sister spared me this." Yan Jun begged for mercy, Wan'er let go of her, snorted softly, took the pair of lilies with double stalks, bowed her head and carefully traced the shape of the flower, Yan Jun propped her head and watched from the side, then asked in a low voice, "Is it true that Wan'er doesn't have a favorite son?"

Wan'er shook her head, "It doesn't matter what it is. I just want to embroider two, one for you and one for me. It's the same as what we used to have."

However, her embroidered handkerchief hadn't been finished yet, that winter, Yanjun pulled her back to the room very excitedly, and said to her with a smile on her face, "Wan'er, I like someone."

Wan'er was startled, and hurriedly said, "Who is it?"

Yan Jun was shy, and hesitated for a long time before saying that it was the second prince. She entered the palace today and met him in the imperial garden, and was immediately attracted by those eyes as deep as the sea. Wan'er tightly held the half-embroidered handkerchief, and said anxiously: "So are you going to marry him?"

Yan Jun lowered her head, then blushed and shook her head, "I don't know, it always depends on what my father wants."

Wan'er grabbed her arm, "Didn't it be agreed that we would stay together forever? After you get married, you will move into the palace."

Yan Jun smiled lightly, and pointed Wan'er's forehead with her finger, "Silly sister, you will still get married in the future, even if you get married, we can be together forever, we can also read books together, and draw embroidery patterns together..."

"That's different!" Wan'er said urgently, her voice was so loud that Yanjun was startled, Yanjun was stunned for a moment, and then comforted: "Okay, I just tell you what's in my heart, there is no other meaning, Don't worry, don't tell anyone."

What Yanjun said after that, Wan'er didn't listen to a word, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but when she saw the handkerchief in her hand again, she felt that she couldn't continue to embroider.She always pays attention to the movement of the second prince, and is very afraid that the news of the second prince's marriage will come at any time. Her various behaviors have caused the Taifu to misunderstand, thinking that she has taken a fancy to the second prince. The Taifu feels sorry for her and sighs After several days, I finally called her to the study room, and said earnestly: "In the future, you should pay less attention to the news of the second prince, it won't ruin your reputation."

Wan'er was taken aback, "What happened to him?"

The Taifu sighed: "He is engaged, Wan'er, no matter what thoughts you had in the past, keep them well in the future, and I will definitely help you find a better marriage for my father."

Wan'er only felt very flustered in her heart, as if something was about to leave her, she asked in a daze, "Who's Miss?"

"The daughter of the King of Zhennan, she has a very good relationship with you, why? Didn't she tell you? That's right, she should be locked up in the mansion now to embroider wedding dresses. I mean, I haven't seen her for a long time... Waner?"

Wan'er didn't know why she came out of the study. She returned to the room in a daze all the way, locked herself in it, smashed all the hairpins, and tore off the embroidered handkerchief with lily embroidered with twin pedicles. She vented her anger everywhere, she didn't know why she was angry, and she didn't know who she was angry with, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, like a needle being pricked, every time, fine and subtle.

On the day Yanjun and the second prince got married, Wan'er got drunk facing the moon, stumbled and ran to her father's room, and said that she was going to be the second prince's side concubine. The entire Taifu's mansion was disturbed, Wan'er seemed to be crazy, she only wanted to be the second prince's side concubine, the Taifu locked her in the house for more than ten days, but she still couldn't get rid of her thoughts, love The daughter's Taifu couldn't bear to be harsh anymore, so he could only put down his old face and go to the emperor to propose marriage.

On the day Wan'er was carried into the palace, Yan Jun stayed up all night. On the second day when Fu Yi went to court, she blocked Wan'er at the gate of the courtyard and looked at her in disbelief with anger and sadness on her face.Wan'er greeted her with a blessing, "My concubine greets the princess."

Yan Jun said angrily, "How could you..."

Wan'er smiled and said: "My sister said before that we will always be together, now I come in to accompany my sister, isn't it good?"

Yan Jun turned pale with anger, "Wan'er, I really like Your Highness, I can give you anything in this world, but he can't, why are you doing this to me?"

Wan'er put away her smile, stared into Yanjun's eyes, and said calmly: "I'm just fulfilling my promise, if sister forgets, that's your business."

The two broke up unhappy, and never spoke to each other in the palace since then. Yanjun began to compete with Wan'er for favor in the open and in the dark. , Feeling more and more uncomfortable, she also began to fight with Yan Jun. She didn't expect that she would have a child first. At that time, she really panicked.

The first time she went to Yanjun's yard to plead guilty, she saw deep sadness in Yanjun's eyes, it was the eyes of a person who was hurt by the most trusted person, Yanjun accepted her apology, but closed her eyes and said : "You have a good life, and it is your blessing to be able to spread branches and leaves for His Highness. Our yard is far away, so you don't have to come here again. If you need anything, send someone around you to report back. I I will never treat you badly, that's all for now, and don't say sorry words again."

So far, Wan'er has never set foot in Yanjun's courtyard again. From the palace to the palace, one of them was named queen and the other was named noble concubine. place, no one mentions it.

It was already late at night, and a gust of night wind blew into the wind, blowing into the wind the precarious tears in Concubine Zheng's eyes. Concubine Zheng still had the box of rouge from ten years ago in her hand. She had never used it, and the contents inside had long since dried up. With Ridai by her side, Kikyo brought her a cloak and advised, "Master, it's windy at night, so go inside."

Concubine Zheng picked up the wine glass, poured it on the ground, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said sadly: "Yanjun, I respect you."
