One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 9
At sunset, the sun has already set, and it is also called dusk when the sky and the earth are turning yellow.

In Nanzhou City at this time, everything was hazy, and faint lights came out from the low buildings.On the long street, the autumn wind was blowing, and strands of it tenaciously penetrated through the cracks of the bamboo windows, making the already dim oil lamps flicker even more.

Window paper is too expensive, some ordinary people use animal skins to block the wind, and the poorer ones use large-leaf plants to sew bamboo and wood blocks as window panels.

The animal hides are poorly lit and too stuffy, and the bamboo and wood windows seep rain and wind, so some people simply don't have windows.

Of course, the huge general's mansion is different from that of the common people. Although there is only a small master like the princess, there are all daily necessities.The window screens made of fine silk cloth and thin paper are bright and windproof, and the interior is always warm as spring.

A brass lamp was firmly stuck against the wall, and the room was bright, but the atmosphere was tense, and the servants who brought water and towels came in and out quietly.

"Ayu is going out tomorrow, but it's a pity that I didn't catch the bear." The little girl with a thick head and a tiger head during the day is lying on the couch like a sick cat, her eyes are blank and her anger is like a thread, "Uncle Ji, scare me for me!" If her husband-in-law dares to bully Ayu in the future, I will definitely not forgive him."

"Okay, wait for my subordinates to report to Lord Hou and accept Ayu as a righteous daughter, so that no one will dare to bully her in the future." Uncle Ji sat beside him in a regular manner, comforting in a warm voice, "The princess is tired after beating a bear for a day. , rest at ease."

Knowing that he was going to adopt Ayu as his adoptive daughter, the princess let out a small breath, seemingly relieved.Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly opened them again, looking over with her clear eyes:
"Where's my father?"

"There are people coming from Beijing. Master Hou is going to receive him as a general, and he will be back soon." Uncle Ji looked at Luo Yan gently wiping her sweat, and asked, "Is the fever gone?"

Well, Luo Yan nodded silently.

After all, he was a child, and he realized that he was injured halfway back, so he endured the pain and didn't cry out.After returning to the mansion to clean up the wound, he started to feel hot all over after eating and lying down.

I went to see a doctor, made some medicine for her to drink, and Luo Yanhe stayed with her all the time.

Luo Yan is a servant, so she shouldn't be doing the work of these maidservants.It was Master Hou who ordered that they do not need to wait close to him at ordinary times, unless the princess is ill.I'm afraid that some lowly slaves will be bought, and they will take the opportunity to tamper with the wound or the medicine.

Ayu is trustworthy, but she is getting married, so she doesn't need to wait for her these few days.

"You and Wuxi are on duty tonight." Coming out of the master's inner room, Uncle Ji ordered in a low voice, "Master Hou will probably be back soon, so be careful and wait on him, and don't make any mistakes, or the skin will be peeled off for you all." !"

"promise!"

The voices of the three gradually faded away, and on the couch in the inner room, the little child Tong was lying down very quietly with a pale face.As sleepiness grew stronger, her delicate brows were slightly frowned, her expression was a little uneasy, and she began to whisper softly in her small mouth:
"aunt……"

Aunt, the lonely and helpless poor woman who lived in the palace.Time flies like an arrow, after five years of separation, she can't remember the appearance of the other party.I vaguely remember that my aunt was a very gentle woman with a light fragrance.

"Zhao'er," I can't remember anything else, except that the woman's warm embrace and the suppressed vague sound of weeping and apologizing are still firmly in my mind, "I'm sorry, Auntie..."

She was repeatedly bullied by those people in the palace, and she almost died a few times.

"My aunt can't even keep her own son, so she can only ignore you and let them bully you..." As long as she ignores her, the person in the palace will be distracted.With that caretaker, Zhao'er has a chance of survival.

However, it is inevitable to suffer some hardships.

"Aunt..." the little child murmured in his sleep.

Just in time for Luo Yan who came in to hear it, she thought she was getting hot again, so she quickly reached out to check it out.Phew, it's okay, it's just slightly hot, not like the scalding heat just now, so it's not a serious problem for now.

When she stretched out her hand like this, the child's dream changed, and the crisp laughter of the princess sister rang in his ears:
"Huh? Why does everyone have a mother, but you don't? Because your father is a subjugated slave, and you are the son of a slave, an evil breed, unworthy of a mother..."

Auntie, the child's brows are tightly knit.

In the dream, what appeared in front of my eyes were either high palace walls, countless stone railings, and large and small squares with a wide view.Except for the wooden guards, there are no idlers around.

"Auntie..."

Her eyes fluttered, as if she was the only one wandering around in the huge palace, looking for a suspected familiar figure called "A Niang" in the mouth of the princess's sister.

"Auntie..."

She doesn't know what A Niang is, it should be very important, right?After all, everyone has it, so you should too.

Running and running, in a blink of an eye, the palace grounds that were empty just now turned into a bustling square, and an old woman with a perm came towards her with a smile... Don't ask her why she knows how to perm her hair. hair.

The dream was weird, yet familiar.Before the old lady came to her, she had already waved to herself:
"Alin, Ayue, come here, let your dad take a picture for us..."

"Mom..." The sleeping child blurted out.

dad!
... what is it?Who are these people?Do you know her?She didn't know, all she knew was that her name was not A Lin.

Her surname is Beiyue, and her name is Yuanzhao, a name bestowed by her uncle, His Majesty.There is also the word my father chose, called Dongyan, not Lin.

In the first year of Fengyuan, there were continuous heavy rains and floods in the south. It was her birth that brought sunny days to all parts of the south.This was said by the Taibu Ling of the current court. His Majesty often hugged her and laughed, saying that she was Wu Chu's little lucky star, and gave her the name Yuanzhao.

Yuan means the first year, which is the first year of Emperor Feng Yuan's ascension to the throne; Zhao means the sun is a shape, which means bright and beautiful, and it is believed that her birth brought a ray of light and hope to the people in disaster.

In the third year of Fengyuan, there was a drought in the north, not only the rivers dried up, the fields had no crops, and even the wells dried up.

The land was full of hunger, and people complained everywhere.

One night, she was carried to the bottom of the 108 steps of Jinyun Terrace by some maid in the middle of the night.That is the place where the royal family worships the gods. It is sacred and solemn and cannot be desecrated.

Anyone who goes on stage without permission and offends the gods will be beheaded.

Fortunately, at that time, Emperor Feng Yuan, who was staying in the palace halfway up the altar and discussing with the Taibu Ling to pray for rain, thought she was an ignorant child, and was woken up by someone in the middle of the night. She suffered a lot and was exonerated.

However, it's all here, and she was instigated by someone to clamor to worship the Sun Lord Empress... The Sun Lord Empress is a god enshrined by the Beiyue Clan. Now that the new dynasty has been established, it has been changed to worship the Dragon God.

Obviously, someone wanted to kill the little girl or her aunt.

Emperor Feng Yuan took a look, she was only two years old, how would she know who was who?Sighing deeply, he waved his hand and asked the prince to accompany her on foot to Jinyuntai to worship.

108 steps!

In the middle of the night, the guards and servants were not allowed to help, the noble prince and the young she were exhausted.Stop and go, she finally simply used crawling, really fast!I still remember a little servant next to the prince shouting loudly:
"Slow down, slow down! His Highness is still behind..."

Prince: "..."

I really wanted to kick him, but unfortunately I didn't have the strength.

In this way, there are no ceremony officials, no priests, and even no incense.One big and one small finally arrived at the altar, only the servants and guards lined up in two rows, and under the cover of the dark night, there was a faint solemn atmosphere.

They are different, she worships her sun god, and he worships his dragon god.

After worshiping, each of them went back to the palace to find their respective aunts.In the middle of the night, there was a loud bang in the sky, and it finally rained.

As expected of Wu Chu's little lucky star!
The emperor was overjoyed, and the next day he canonized her as Princess Anping.Anping is the title of prince when Ding Yuanhou was in the previous dynasty.Regardless of whether she begged for the rain or not, Jun Wu joked, if the emperor said it was her, then it was her.

Of course, some people also see another meaning from it.

As long as the Marquis of Dingyuan keeps himself in peace, is loyal to the emperor and loves the country, his children will be able to enjoy peace and happiness.

　I'm sorry, everyone, the previous year name may conflict with the reality, and it has been cheated, so I can only change it to Fengyuan~
