As the sun sets in the west, the golden afterglow shines slantingly on the winding and crisscrossed Zhongnan Mountain. The forests are dyed and the sunset shines brightly.
A group of carriages left the city from Mingde Gate and headed south along the official road. When passing by the circle, the curtain of the carriage in the middle opened, revealing the pretty face of Princess Jinyang. The sunset slanted down, and every detail on her face was revealed.
Bright, pretty, and incomparably beautiful.
The car drove all the way south into Zhongnan Mountain under the protection of dozens of guards. Walking on the path in the mountain forest, the light gradually dimmed. Unknown birds were alarmed by the melodious roars of wild beasts in the distance, chirping in panic.
Then he fluttered his wings and flew back and forth among the trees.
Horse hooves, streams gurgling in the ditches on the roadside, and the moist air is filled with the fragrance of soil, grass, and wildflowers on the roadside.
Dark and peaceful.
The leading knight took out the lantern hanging behind him, lit it, and held it in his hand. The orange flame reflected the emblem on the lantern, letting people know that this was Princess Jinyang's car and should not be rammed.
There were scouts hidden in the mountains and forests on both sides of the road who saw the emblem on the lantern, emerged from their hiding places, and then ran forward quickly to deliver the message.
The knight holding the lantern looked around. There were rolling hills on both sides of the mountain road. The trees were lush and the shadows of the trees were dancing. It was unknown how many scouts and archers were lurking. If they suddenly launched a surprise attack on the intruders, it would be extremely difficult to resist them.
The mountain col here is already like a copper wall and an iron wall, anyone who touches it will die.
The car drove forward and was about to turn out of this mountain col. Suddenly, the front suddenly opened up, with stone bridges and flowing water, green mountains and green forests, and a small Taoist temple hidden among the trees. Under the dusk, it was vast and graceful, quiet and quiet.
A group of soldiers in full armor with swords and bows on their backs came forward. The leader knelt down on one knee on the roadside and performed a military salute: "General Zuo Jinwu's guard commander Shi Cen Changqian has an audience with His Highness Jinyang!"
The car stopped, but Princess Jinyang, who didn't need to be ignored, opened the curtain, walked from the carriage to the carriage and stood there gracefully, with the breeze in the mountain, and her clothes flying in the dusk like an immortal, with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes looking down at her with interest.
Looking at Cen Changqian, her voice was as clear and crisp as that of an oriole in the mountains: "You are Cen Changqian!"
She has been famous for a long time for this young man who was born in a famous family but was called "the son of a bitch in the house". She was very interested in seeing him today.
Cen Changqian: "..."
The new Zuojinwu Guard Chief, Mr. Shi, looked confused. These words sounded like a joke. How should he respond?
He could only say in a low voice: "If you want to return to Your Highness, I will be Cen Changqian."
"Raise your head and let me see."
It is said that the few teenagers who follow the brother-in-law are "at the extreme end of beauty and ugliness". Among them, the "beautiful" ones are all handsome boys, such as the Cen Changqian in front of me, and Di Renjie, and the "ugly" one is Ouyang Xun's son Ouyang Tong...
Cen Changqian: Am I being molested by Her Royal Highness the Princess?
He could only raise his head as he was told.
The coachman is holding a palace lantern in his hand, and the light renders the background darker and more vast. Only the girl standing on the carriage shaft with her hands behind her hands is dyed orange in the light, her skirts are flying, and she has a faint smile on her pretty face like a flower.
The beauty of the country and the world.
Cen Changqian was filled with surprise and quickly lowered her head.
This face is beautiful, the figure is slender and upright, and the demeanor is graceful and luxurious, but somehow, it seems as if I have seen it before in my previous life...
Princess Jinyang glanced at Cen Changqian's face, and when she saw him lowering his head "shyly", she suddenly smiled with crooked eyebrows and nodded: "You are very good. You will follow your brother-in-law and you will have a bright future."
Cen Changqian didn't know whether her words "you are very good" meant that he was good-looking or that he had good abilities, but in her heart she hoped it was the former...
He said respectfully: "I dare not forget the kindness of the Duke of Yue in supporting Jian Ba for a moment, so I should repay him wholeheartedly."
Princess Jinyang felt that her "sacrifice of appearance" for her brother-in-law to win over this promising young man was a great achievement. She decided to ask her brother-in-law to reward her someday, so she nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, lead the way, I want to visit my sister."
"Here!"
Cen Changqian stood up and led the soldiers to lead the way to the Taoist temple.
What lingers in my mind is still the immortal posture and demeanor in the flying clothes, and the exquisitely beautiful face. The fatigue caused by the whole day of patrol has disappeared, and even the steps are a little brisk.
However, although he has a heart of admiration, he does not dare to have any blasphemy. As one of Fang Jun's most trusted subordinates, he has long been vaguely aware of Princess Jinyang's affection for Fang Jun. Fang Jun is like a child in his heart.
She is as majestic as a mountain, how can she covet Princess Jinyang?
In the end, it was just a ray of white moonlight in the sky that suddenly shone into my heart on this night, leaving an unforgettable surprise.
Maybe at some point, I will try my best to protect this white moonlight and protect the beauty of the past, that's all...
…
Inside the Taoist temple, there are bright lights everywhere. Princess Changle has moved from the delivery room to the side hall on the other side. The nuns and maids are going in and out, busy.
Arriving at the mountain gate and welcoming Princess Jinyang into the temple, Princess Gaoyang frowned and asked, "What are you doing here? To cause trouble!"
Princess Jinyang didn't take it seriously. She looked around with a pair of wonderful eyes and said casually: "I heard that someone disturbed Sister Changle. We were worried in the palace, so the Queen sent me over to have a look."
Princess Gaoyang had nothing to say, so she took Princess Jinyang to Princess Changle's residence.
Princess Changle changed her clothes and wiped her body. There was not much smell, but her face was pale and her beauty was pale. She was lying on the bed wilted. When she saw Princess Jinyang, she smiled and looked extremely weak.
Princess Jinyang's smile faded and she quickly walked to the bed, tears streaming down her face. She squatted in front of the bed and held Princess Changle's hand. She was heartbroken and said in a trembling voice: "Why is my sister so haggard? Is it true?"
Isn’t it bad? This is incredible. The queen specifically ordered her sister to take good care of herself and not to let the disease get to her. Otherwise, she will be in pain at worst, or her longevity will be affected at worst... If I had known this, I shouldn’t have given birth. It’s all my brother-in-law’s fault.
!”
She has been weak since she was a child and has been plagued by illnesses. She was once judged by the imperial doctor as having "a short lifespan", so she was pitied by her elders. Princess Changle is the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende. Even though she married a woman,
However, after the death of Queen Wende, she often returned to the palace to care for and take care of her several younger sisters and younger brothers.
When they settled in the palace after being reconciled with their eldest son, the relationship between the sisters increased day by day and advanced by leaps and bounds...
The fear of "childbirth" is almost innate for girls who have not yet left the palace. Seeing Princess Changle so haggard and sick, she was naturally at a loss what to do, and she couldn't help blaming her brother-in-law.
Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, who lacks "experience", knows only a little about the affairs between men and women. She only knows that she has to torture people like this. It is really hateful. She will never allow him to do this in the future...
However, when she said "It's all my brother-in-law's fault", Chang Le on the bed and Gao Yang, who had just sat down next to her, looked at each other rather strangely.
Princess Changle felt guilty when Princess Gaoyang saw her. She held Princess Jinyang's hand with her backhand, smiled, and comforted her: "What are you talking nonsense about? It's just a child, don't make such a fuss."
At this time, the sound of a baby crying was heard. Princess Jinyang looked up and saw that the nanny on the side was picking up a baby, probably for breastfeeding. She suddenly became energetic and beckoned: "Hurry up and let me see.
look!"
She hasn’t seen the child she just gave birth to...
The nanny did not dare to disobey and quickly brought the baby over.
Princess Jinyang looked at the infant baby, which was small, with wrinkled skin and thin hair. She suddenly frowned: "It's so ugly!"
Immediately he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Hey, this little one looks like my brother-in-law? I like it so much! Come on, come on, let me kiss you!"
Princess Changle and Princess Gaoyang on the side touched their foreheads with their hands, their faces speechless.
From "so ugly" to "so fond of", from a look of disgust to a kiss, just because he "looks like brother-in-law"?
What you kiss with your mouth is a baby, but in fact, what you kiss in your heart is your brother-in-law, right?
This girl is hopeless...
Princess Gaoyang curled her lips, ignored the little girl, and asked Princess Changle: "I have already written a letter home to send to Erlang, does my sister have anything else to say?"
Princess Changle cannot write now. If she has anything to say to Fang Jun, she can only dictate it.
But looking at the baby being held and kissed by Princess Jinyang but unable to resist, tenderness and sweetness welled up in my heart, how could I express it to my mouth?
He could only shake his head and said: "Just give him the good news, there are no other words."
Full of tenderness, it won’t be too late to talk about it again when we meet.
Princess Gaoyang asked Princess Jinyang again: "Sizi, do you have anything to say to your brother-in-law?"
Princess Jinyang was filled with emotions of separation and longing, but how could she say it in front of her two sisters?
He shook his head and said, "There's nothing to say. I just told my brother-in-law to put on some clothes sooner or later."
It's April now, everything is recovering and flowers are blooming, but the temperature in the morning and evening is still very low. If you don't pay attention, you are most likely to catch a cold.
Princess Gao Yang snorted: "Your sister-in-law cares about your brother-in-law very much."
Princess Jinyang seemed not to understand: "Isn't this what it should be? My brother-in-law is also very good to me."
Princess Gao Yang raised her eyebrows. Instead of feeling guilty, this girl was actually provocative?
He immediately counterattacked: "I heard that someone has come to the palace to propose marriage to His Majesty in the past few days? By the way, you have reached your age, and it is time to choose a son-in-law to marry. You can also give birth to Lin'er as soon as possible, so you don't have to hug your sister's child and kiss her.
It’s not over yet.”
Princess Jinyang imagined the situation of getting married and having children, shuddered, shook her head and said: "I don't want to get married. I go to someone else's house so I can serve my aunt. It's okay if I meet someone with a good temper.
I have a bad temper and often scolds them. How can I bear it? It would be great if I can enter Taoism and practice like Sister Changle in the future. What's more, I don't like children. What's so strange about them crying and making a fuss?
"
"Eh?" Princess Gaoyang asked curiously: "Then why do you like sister Changle's child?"
The corners of Princess Jinyang's lips curled up slightly, and she seemed to say casually: "Because this kid looks like a brother-in-law, so he's not so annoying."
"hehe!"
Princess Gaoyang sneered, looking up and down at Princess Jinyang, who was becoming more and more beautiful.
