There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 339 Bai Fangyi

Suddenly, I realized that my life was ridiculous.

She used to be the daughter of General Tang, but now she is the queen.

Saying that I am a person in the 21st century always feels superior to others, saying that I have independent thinking and I am a modern new woman.

But in the end, what did she do?
Are you defending your country?No, have your parents been filial to you?No, besides being able to shoot the arrow of a three-legged cat, what else does she have?
Don't care how bad the ancient feudal society is, don't care how pedantic the people are, don't care how unfair everything here is.

All in all, her life was a failure.

Being unfair is unfair to others, so what does it have to do with yourself?
She was of noble birth and was served all the time, so what is there to complain about?

Hehe, the so-called eyes are higher than the top, maybe it means that I am like this, right?
……

By the time I completely came out of the haze, 11 was almost over, and even winter was almost over.

Often able to endure hardships, the little people get up and stride every day before dawn, and they are still studying when it is dark.

Haiyan didn't show weakness either. He was less than two years old, and he could read a few words after listening to his brother reading every day. Although he didn't know what he was reading, it could be seen that he was extremely smart.

Tang Wanning suddenly became gentle. Her favorite thing to do these past few months is to read books.

Astronomy, geography, arithmetic and foreign languages, she will take a look at everything that can be used. Since she can't do more, then she is not wrong to raise the child well.

I didn't do this for any benefit, but just to look back on my life in the future, so that I wouldn't be too ashamed.

Perhaps the virtuousness in the eyes of the ancients is different from what she thought. It is not virtuous to marry a few concubines to the emperor.

After thinking about it, Tang Wanning really felt that she is now like a pebble whose edges and corners have been smoothed, round, plump and gentle.

It's not like the image of the hot-headed little steel cannon she used to be, but if she has become soft-hearted, it's not necessarily true, it's just that she doesn't show it casually.

After the new year, it will be Qinghe's 12 years. In a blink of an eye, Xia Houjue has been on the throne for nearly 12 years. It is not long or short, but there are not many 12 years in a person's life.

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, I often get up early in the morning to follow the master's Zamabu, and I still get up early to take care of someone to send him there.

After breakfast, before Haiyan and Jingming got up, Tang Wanning was sitting in front of the window with a hand stove, reading a book of ancient poems.

Looking at it, I don't know what I thought of, and I was in a daze.

Suddenly Shaoyao came to report that Mrs. Tang had entered the palace to ask for an audience, and she was already waiting outside the palace gate.

Tang Wanning didn't care about the snowy weather, she got up and put on her cloak and went out to meet her.

"Mother, why are you here at this time? Today is a young year."

Mrs. Tang did not come alone, she was accompanied by a pretty, petite and gentle woman who looked well-behaved but also graceful.

She was wearing a Hunan dress with green lake water, a plain satin jacket inlaid with rabbit fur on her upper body, and small white jasmine flowers embroidered on it. There were not many hair accessories on her head, and she only wore a simple bun. , another exquisite wisteria crystal hairpin, and finally a moon-white cloak.

She has exquisite facial features, smiling eyebrows, looks gentle like water but gentle eyebrows, like a small pink lotus that is just emerging from the lotus pond in summer.

When Tang Wan stared at the past, she was standing humbly and obediently behind Mrs. Tang, holding an umbrella for her to shield her from the wind, and helping her wrap up her dress.

"Mom, this is..."

"The daughter of the people pays homage to the empress, the empress Wan'an..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Tang helped her up, and looked at Tang Wanning with a smile on her face.

"This is the sweetheart brought back by your third brother. He said he had it a long time ago. He didn't bring it back until the Chinese New Year this year. No, mother wanted to let you see it, so she brought it here?"

Tang Wanning had already guessed it, and now that she got the exact answer, she couldn't help but look at the girl up and down again.

Although this girl looks gentle and timid, she is not afraid, her brows are still peaceful, her brows are still smiling, she is as quiet as a lotus leaf in a lotus pond in summer, no matter how the hot sun shines, I will not move.

"It turned out to be the third sister-in-law, and she was too polite. It was the first time I entered the palace, and I didn't recognize it." Tang Wanning also smiled, and hurriedly led the two of them in, one on each side.

A good girl can be recognized at a glance. This girl looks like she came from a bad background, but she has seen some worldly things. She is gentle but not timid, knowledgeable but not arrogant.

Such a woman is not considered to have buried the third brother, and it is not in vain that the third brother has waited back and forth for so many years, and it is worth it.

Just, really want to hear their stories?The third brother travels all year round, and basically never enters the house. If he wants to know what happened to him, he really can only listen to him.

"The empress is too polite. It is the first time for a civilian girl to enter the palace, and the etiquette is not good enough. Please forgive me, the empress."

"Hey, since we are already a family, why is my sister-in-law still a daughter? Isn't this unfamiliar? If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name in private." In front of her family, she has never liked to be polite.

"Your Majesty is joking, even... there are still rules, let alone now...we don't have any!" She lowered her head as she spoke, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked shy, more like a summer lotus plant in a pond. Cool breeze water lotus.

……

After entering the hall gate and the inner room, Bai Lu arranged the seats, Shao Yao brought tea and snacks, after everything was settled, everyone retreated.

"Mother, is my brother back? Did he say where he went? How did he know my little sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Tang sipped her tea and said with a smile: "This child has been to many places, and I can't remember his name even after I told him. Your brother only said that he met him in the south, and I didn't ask much about the rest."

When Tang Wanning was not knowing how to answer, the girl spoke.

"Empress, we met in Hainan. I originally lived along the coast of Hainan, where the folk customs are simple. Although our family was exiled there in appearance, we did not wrong us. The local villagers even helped us from time to time."

"It's a pity that there was a flood in our hometown, and the houses, fields and even fish ponds were all destroyed. We had to go out to make a living, and we could never go back to the original place."

"From Hainan to Jiangnan, there are many difficulties along the way. We met under such circumstances."

Tang Wanning smiled: "May I ask your sister-in-law's name, where is she from?"

"Bai Fang Yi"

"We were not originally from the Xia Dynasty. Our ancestors were fishermen on a sandy island overseas. Our tribe was devastated by a tsunami, and only a few families escaped..."
