Qingchuan History

Chapter 1 Entering the Urn
From Suoning City to Jidu, it took five days and five nights for the carriage to travel, and it was almost non-stop.

Therefore, the send-off in March of the sixth year of Jinghong took seven full days and nights. When we arrived at the city of Jidu, dusk had passed, and the stars began to twinkle and gradually brighten in the mountains around the imperial city.

The drizzle floats in the air with an almost invisible sparse density, and because it is too small, it only brings the touch of a slightly moist wind.The horses and carts lined up for tens of miles, although low-key, after all, it was a procession to see off relatives, and finally attracted enthusiastic crowds from the people in Jidu City.

Even though this was already the third send-off in more than half a year, even though this send-off was the one that attracted the least attention.

The Kingdom of Yin finally sent the sixth princess, who has achieved both status and fame.

Except that she learned from the most famous female conspirator in mainland China, Ji Ji, and learned stargazing skills since she was a child, the outside world knows nothing about this low-key princess who is almost invisible.It is said that his mother was born in a humble family and passed away many years ago, but Mr. Yin has always disliked this daughter for some unknown reason.

The news broke out last month, and the opinion of the entire continent is that Mr. Yin is keeping the well-known eighth princess, Ruan Moxi, for the future.

Although Qi State is the strongest in Qingchuan today, and the three kingdoms of Yin, Bai, and Wei are attached, Da Qi lost the crown prince Gu Xinglei seven years ago. At that time, Qi Jun had been suffering from injuries for many years, and the pain of losing a son was fatal With one blow, before he died, it was rumored that Gu Xinglang, the ninth son of the emperor, was the current Qi Jun.

To say that the two direct princes of Qi Guo at that time were actually worthy of being the heirs.It's just that Gu Xinglei is good at martial arts, and Gu Xinglang is good at literature. In the era of turbulent times in the world, those who can recruit good fighters are naturally more suitable to be kings. Gu Xinglei, the third son of the emperor, was appointed the crown prince early by everyone's expectations.

But also because he was good at fighting, he finally missed the possibility of becoming a generation of kings. The Fengting Pass unexpectedly started a war. Gu Xinglei continued his undefeated legend, but he failed to return to Jidu.

In the 22nd year of Gongqing, the prince of Qi State passed away, and his posthumous title was Zhanfeng.

In the same year, Qi Jun died, and Gu Xinglang, the 14-year-old ninth son of the emperor, succeeded to the throne and became the youngest king in the history of Qi State, named Jing Hong.

The new monarch is calm and good at planning, but he lives up to the great situation left by his ancestors.It's just that in troubled times, the world is finally ruled by martial arts, so since Gu Xinglang succeeded to the throne, the other three kingdoms have a tendency to move around, even though they are all undercurrents.

It is said that Mr. Ying once said to Mr. Bai and Mr. Wei personally: "The Gu family took the Yuwen family and established Qi State in its place. By the time of Gu Xinglang, it is already the fourth generation. It's just that Gu Yecheng overthrew the Yuwen family and changed the day. , Changed the name of the country to Qi, relying on force. Now that our Lord Qi governs the country with literature, the strength of the Gu family is hard to say."

Of course, rumors are rumors after all, even if they are true, as long as the scene is decent, the two parties will not tear each other apart.For the current state of Qi, checks and balances are far more practical than conquests. To plan for the worst, with one against three, is not completely impossible, but it is not worthwhile, and it is too risky.

Therefore, in the past few years, several parties seem to be arranging their troops and laying out their foreshadowing.Either for offense, or for defense, or for temptation, or for expressing one's heart.So much so that in the sixth year of Jinghong, Qi Jun and Gu Xinglang were the weakest in the year, and the other three kingdoms successively sent princesses or princes and noble daughters to Jidu, which became an important part of the layout.

Of course Gu Xinglang understood this point, and even the people in Jidu, the capital of Qi State, understood it somewhat.

In the current Queen's Palace of the Qi State, Yu, Pei, Jin, and Zhen are the four wives. Except for Yu's wife Ji Wanling who entered the palace last year, the other three positions are still vacant.The new monarch was still young when he came to the throne, and he had announced to the world that the harem would not begin to be filled until the age of the weak crown. Therefore, last year's age-appropriate daughter Wan Ling entered the palace, and it became the topic of conversation among the people of Jidu for several months after dinner.

Because this Ji Wanling was once the quasi-princess concubine appointed by the late emperor and Gu Xinglei's fiancée.It is common for a younger brother to marry a sister-in-law, let alone a prospective sister-in-law.But as soon as this incident happened, there was immediately heated discussion in the city that the two brothers belonged to the same person, and the reason was that in order to take her into the palace, the current king broke the promise of the weak crown.There are even ignorant and troublesome people who can make a joke, saying that the first prince fought too badly in this battle, and lost his life and lost a woman.

Of course, this kind of disrespectful speech was besieged by most of the people in the city of Jidu. For some obscure reasons, this statement gradually disappeared in the city soon after it was circulated.But the entire mainland still acquiesced to this conclusion, because in the fifth year of Jinghong, Ji's Wanling entered the palace, and Mrs. Feng Yu ranked first among the four wives. This is a fact.

"Your Majesty, the convoy from Yin Kingdom has arrived at the city, how should we arrange it?" As the night grew darker, Diyan asked softly after replacing the cold tea on the desk.

Gu Xinglang was holding a pen in his hand and carefully annotating on the memorial, without looking up, "Didn't the Zhexue Palace be cleaned up last month? Isn't it good?"

The meaning of Diyan was to ask if I would like to see him.After all, the sixth princess of the Yin Kingdom will seal Mrs. Pei, the second among the four wives, and the other two wives were the first to meet the saint when they entered the palace last month, so today——

He was a little hesitant, unable to figure out the holy meaning, and didn't move a step for a long time.

Gu Xinglang looked up at him, and said calmly: "It's already night, and the road from Suoning City to Jidu Mountain is far away. The princess is exhausted by boat and car, so she will be sent directly to Zhexue Hall to rest. There will be a canonization ceremony tomorrow, so I have to make some preparations."

He put down his pen and took a sip of the fresh tea.

Di Yan understood and withdrew.

Your Majesty is the most negligent of the princess of the Yin Kingdom, and the reason is obvious.

First of all, Mr. Yin has been quite active in recent years, often walking between Bai and Wei, and his intentions are not insignificant;
Secondly, the other two countries sent all beauties with good family backgrounds and illustrious reputations in their respective countries. Mr. Pianyan obviously has a famous eighth princess who is also old enough to marry, but he did not send them, "save it for another day" His thoughts are clearly revealed.

Throughout the dynasties, in the power struggle, beautiful women cannot escape the fate of being chips or pawns. Keeping a stronger chip is an attitude in itself.

As for the sixth princess, although she is unknown, there is a teacher who is famous in the mainland after all, so she naturally has a whole body of skills.Mr. Yin sent her here, in addition to replacing the more expensive eighth princess, I guess he also hoped that she would be useful, the so-called cooperation between the inside and the outside.

Gu Xinglang is not a greedy person, and he doesn't really mind that it's not Ruan Moxi who came, but he is still very displeased with the seesaw and contempt shown by Mr. Yin's arrangement this time.

Qi Guo is now the strongest in Qingchuan, he is Qi Jun, of course he should have the best everything on the mainland, including women.It's one thing if I don't want it, it's another if you don't give it.

It was late at night, and the accompanying guards from the Yin Kingdom in the convoy were all placed in a courtyard outside the palace. Only the light silk carriage carrying the six princesses and a cart carrying the princess's luggage entered the palace gate.

Hearing the sound of hooves gradually slowing down, the convoy was moving slowly. A pair of bare hands raised the corner of the soft curtain on the right side of the carriage, and saw a tall palace not far away. .

Folding Snow Palace.

She read it in a barely audible voice in the car, thinking that this palace is related to me, but the word "zhe", she thought to herself, it can't be said that it has a bad meaning, let's see how it can be solved.

"Your Majesty, the princess has already been sent to Zhexue Palace, and the servants in the palace have been arranged."

Gu Xinglang closed the last paperwork with a tired face and didn't answer, so he understood.But Di Yan didn't intend to retreat or greet the servants of the Imperial Palace, and stood still.

"how?"

"My lord, as a rule, the palace people arranged by the ladies in the palace are all eating and living, and there are no personal maids. The newly appointed Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Zhen both brought dowry maids from their mother country. Speaking of which, last year When Mrs. Yu entered the palace, she also brought Heng'er in directly." He paused,
"But Mrs. Pei didn't bring a single attendant from her home country except for a few boxes of soft clothes. No one in Zhexue Palace has served the master personally. Everyone is stupid. Now I don't know who should serve the lady to bed."

Gu Xinglang frowned slightly. He was not satisfied with the practice of calling "Mrs. Pei" directly before being canonized, but he was more interested in the fact that Ruan Xueyin entered Jidu alone.He raised a pair of bright and abnormal eyes, which were prettier than many women, and said slowly:

"What did she say herself?"

"Madam said that she can take care of it herself, and she doesn't need anyone to be close to her, so she asked the palace servants to put down the refreshments and then sent them all away."

"Come here alone, it's magnanimous. Or maybe someone with a high skill is bold?" Gu Xinglang lightly turned the white jade cup on the desk with his right hand, wondering what he was thinking.

"Based on previous assumptions, this sixth princess is here as a blatant internal response from Mr. Yin, but since she has a heavy responsibility, why doesn't she bring one of her own? It is to show that there is no disagreement, so that the king can relax his guard. ?”

"If there is no difference, what is the thing that her father has done all these years?" Gu Xinglang continued to transfer the jade cup in his hand, his face was calm, "Princess trust, marrying thousands of miles to Jidu without accompanying attendants, As a husband, I have to be considerate. Let Yunxi go."

　惢姬, 惢 is a multi-syllabic character, and the sound in this book is rui, three tones.
