Chapter 176 Return (2)
Brother, after leaving here, I hope that after three years, you and I will be together for a long time. They are both the best and the most noble.
The two turned around and neither looked back. Many years later, when the Dajin Dynasty became a prosperous and beautiful painting of the country and rivers, this scene was talked about by many people. The separation of the legendary two brothers and sisters at the gate of the city became the starting point for their true glory in this life.
The horse's trunked its hooves, and the sun burst out, dyeing most of the big brocade sky red, with bright clouds pouring towards the elite soldiers with high morale, rising up, and watching the team away with warm and gentle colors.
In spring, the head is full of apricot blossom branches, a bluestone table under the tree, a cup of fragrant tea on the table, and the jade butterfly is exquisite hibiscus cake. The breeze blows, and the flowers and rain fall, and the fallen flowers are colorful, just falling on the person under the tree.
In the Royal Ancestral Temple, the man was wearing a black dress and looked at the chess pieces on the table with his head slightly lowered his head, holding a black piece in one hand and a white piece in the other, playing chess with himself. Because he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he only saw that the plain clothes outlined the slim figure, his slender waist was not full, his long legs and slender waist, his chest was beautiful, and he was also pleasing to the eye at a distance.
A girl dressed as a maid came trotting from a distance, with a sweet and cute smile, and called out from a distance: "Girl, girl."
The girl in Dai's brow moved slightly, and the two older maids standing on both sides glared at the girl who was jogging: "Luzhu, why are you so rash again? You are a little more whispering, disturbing the girl playing chess."
Dewdrops stuck out her tongue. Compared to the innocent little girl three years ago, she has grown a little bit and looks more pleasing and clever. She slowed down and walked to the girl in Daiyi: "I am too happy. The things have been packed. The Empress Dowager has already given instructions and will set off tomorrow morning."
The girl in black had already finished her last son, raised her face and showed a stunning face that was not as beautiful as that of the world. Even wearing plain clothes in the ancestral temple, she still had an unstoppable beauty. Her little face, which was a little childish in the past, is now thinner and looks more and more the size of a palm. Her eyes are crystal clear and moist, like a flowing spring, or a transparent amber gem. The redder the lips and the whiter the teeth, the loosely tied up her hair, which also has a lazy charm.
Lian Qiao, who served her, was stunned. Her own girl was born well, and she became more and more beautiful after years of development. Even the maids who served her close to her would sometimes lose their minds. I don’t know what kind of sensation it would cause when they arrived in the capital. Thinking of this, I felt a little uneasy. Excessive beauty is not a good thing, especially because she has no ability to protect her beauty. However, with Empress Dowager Yide now, there will be no trouble.
Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "It's been three years."
Time flies like water. In the past three years, she followed the Empress Dowager to eat vegetarian food and recite scriptures in the ancestral temple every day, and walked in a simple manner. She was with the Empress Dowager every day because of her excellent patience and she would not be impatient when she listened to the master's chanting scriptures like an ordinary girl, and she was quite liked by Empress Dowager Yide. In the past three years, she has penetrated into Empress Dowager Yide's life bit by bit, calmly pleasing, slowly allowing Empress Dowager Yide to accept it. She was not Princess Yuanrong, but also made Empress Dowager Yide feel like she was waiting for her daughter.
So hard work pays off. Ten days ago, Empress Dowager Yide personally presided over her wedding ceremony and asked someone to send a letter to the capital to ask for her title of princess. The emperor allowed it to give her name to Princess Hong'an.
Let's set off to return to Beijing tomorrow. Once you return to the palace, everyone will know that the newly promoted princess of Dajinchao will be different from the past.
In recent years, he has been with Empress Dowager Yide, but he has never deliberately inquired about the news outside. The Jiang family has never sent letters. When Empress Dowager Yide sometimes receives news from the border battlefield between Tianjin and Dajin Dynasty, she will ask her to come and listen to it. What is gratifying is that Jiang Xinzhi has repeatedly broken the war situation in the past three years, made extraordinary achievements, and fought side by side with Guan Lianghan, not even inferior to Guan Lianghan's bravery. In addition, every time the enemy attacks, he always takes the lead. The name of another god of war in the Dajin Dynasty fell on Jiang Xinzhi.
Then the war had not been completely settled, and Jiang Xinzhi was unable to return to the capital for the time being. So the name of the legend became more and more amazing.
Empress Dowager Yide lay on the couch and smiled faintly: "Girl Ruan, you have a capable brother."
Jiang Ruan nodded, and a layer of pride slowly rose in her heart.
For three years, she has been stable and the life of listening to Zen and chanting scriptures in the ancestral temple every day, and she has no idea what happened outside. In the eyes of Queen Mother Yide, she is like an ordinary girl in a boudoir, and has never been different. But Jiang Ruan knew that those hatreds had never been truly removed from her heart in one day. She knelt in front of the Buddha's golden body, with a pious expression, but cursed in her heart. She smiled at the little novice monk who was sweeping, but what she thought about was how to destroy all those people step by step. Every night she leaned against the head of the bed, and scenes passed by her in the previous life. The more angry she felt in her heart, the gentler her expression was.
She is doing a devilish act at the feet of the Buddha, so what?
The journey back to Beijing is about to set off. I wonder who can be prepared to go to hell?
Jiang Ruan smiled faintly and looked at the chessboard under the apricot tree. The white piece and black piece had been exhausted, and it seemed messy, but the dilemma was particularly successful. Bai piece had no way out, and the black piece was murderous step by step.
She gently brushed the chessboard, her wide sleeves passed by, the chessboard and chess pieces rolled, and the winner and loser returned to nowhere.
Everything has just begun.
In the eleventh year of Xuande, Empress Dowager Yide returned to Beijing.
The capital was very lively this day, and there were many people talking about this in the teahouses and restaurants. Empress Dowager Yide left Beijing three years ago and returned to Beijing today. It is said that the emperor and civil and military officials welcomed each other. The grand occasion was unprecedented. The common people could not see this grand occasion, but they still had to think about it in their hearts. They were as excited as if they could see it with their own eyes.
This day happened to be a good weather again. Spring came earlier than in previous years. In the morning, the sun seemed to know that today was a big day, and it was even brighter than yesterday.
In the Jiang Mansion, Xia Yan was gentlely organizing the official uniforms for Jiang Quan. She smiled and said, "I have made the kitchenette a sweet osmanthus chicken that the master likes to eat today."
Jiang Quan frowned slightly: "You don't have to do these trivial matters, just leave them to the servants." His eyes fell on Xia Yan's lower abdomen: "You should take good care of yourself."
Xia Yan's eyebrows suddenly flashed with joy: "Speaking of this, I have never arranged a room for the master these days, and Linlang next to me is a well-behaved..."
"No need," Jiang Quan waved his hand: "There are red tassels, what does it look like when it is heard? I'll leave first. Your Majesty has an explanation today, so you can't waste time." After that, he put on the two buttons on the top of the collar and hurried out.
