He looked at me and said, “Of course I do.” “But I have a bad temper. You come from the Central Plains while I grew up in Western Liang. You like to eat millet rice while I love roast lamb. I don’t understand your language, nor do I know the custom of Central Plains. If you stay in Western Liang which is far from Central Plains, you will definitely be homesick. If you go back to Central Plains long way off Western Liang, then I will definitely miss my hometown. Although you killed the White-Eye Wolf King, you didn't do that completely for me. You said that you happened to meet the wolf and kill it while you were hawking tea… I'm young, but I know that I can't force someone to marry me…" I talked a lot from when we first met to the present. I told him all the inconveniences we would meet if we got married, which made me thirsty. Gu Xiao Wu didn’t interrupt me. When I put down the lamb chop and went to drink, he asked, “What you said were all unimportant things. Are you willing to marry me? Just give me an answer." I almost spit water out of my mouth. I gave him an angry stare while my face suddenly went red, “Am I willing… um…” “Answer me!” he urged me, “yes or no?” My mind was in such a turmoil. Pictures of these days in my mind were like visions or dreams. Time had gone by so quickly that so much had happened. I had never expected that I would marry at such an early age. I found Gu Xiao Wu was annoying at first, but now I didn’t hate him. I didn’t know what I should say. Looking at fireflies in the autumn, I suddenly made up my mind and said, “I will say yes if you can catch me a hundred fireflies.” As soon as I finished my words, he stood up abruptly. I stared at him, but then he turned a somersault as if he was a naughty boy. I watched him jumping into the air like a star – no, a meteor would not be like this – he nearly fell onto the flood land. He suddenly reached his arms out for fireflies and grabbed a few. Those fairies shone faintly through gaps between his fingers. I shaped the lower part of my robe into a bag and urged, “Hurry up!” He put the fireflies into my bag-shaped robe. He jumped up again – martial arts in the Central Plains were charming and elegant, just like paintings or poems. He moved as if he was dancing, but there was no dance with such an act of animated courage in the world. He spun around in an incredible angle in midair, chasing those ethereal fireflies. His sleeves brought a flurry of wind, and I pointed in the direction of the fireflies, “Left! There are a lot on the left!” “Oops!” “They've escaped! There! Oh, there are more of them!”… The laughter of us wafted across the river, and the number of fireflies in my clothes was increasing. They gathered together and shone like a bright moon in my arms. All the fireflies near the river were gone, they were caught by Gu Xiao Wu and put in my arms. “Are there a hundred fireflies now?” He leaned over, putting his head to my head and using a slender finger to uncover the corner of my rope, “let's count, shall we?” We then counted a dozen. Gu Xiao Wu’s body had a faint cool aroma, which couldn't be found in Turks and the people of Western Liang. I felt that this faint aroma made me uneasy, and my face seemed to be burning. He stayed too close to me. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, his hair softly touched my face, it felt light, soft and itchy. My hand holding the clothes could not help but loosen, the fireflies then were scrambling to fly up, thus the moon dispersed, turning into countless fine meteors. For a time, Gu Xiao Wu and I were surrounded by these meteors, whose bright light illuminated our faces. I saw his dark eyes, which were staring at me. I remembered those who sang outside the A’Du tent, as they just stared at A’Du in this way. Their burning gaze was like a flame, softening people who were looked at. However, Gu Xiao Wu’s eyes were much warmer, reflecting my silhouette. I suddenly felt something in my heart was becoming softer, which made me uneasy but comfortable. Seeing me watching him, he suddenly became embarrassed. He turned his face to see the fireflies in the sky and said, “They all ran off!” I couldn’t help but say, “They are like meteors!” He also laughed and repeated, “Meteors!” Countless fireflies flew away, like thousands of meteors passing by our fingertips. When the gods released the meteors, the scene must be not better than this one, which was like a dream. I thought I would never forget the night by the river – thousands of fireflies were surrounding us, and they flew by deftly, then scattered in all directions with their fluorescent light, just like the golden glow of a meteor splitting the night. I thought of a song, in which a god, together with his loved one, stood in the Milky Way as gorgeous as this scene.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Great Chanyu sent a messenger to tell my father that he had chosen a husband for me, who was Gu Xiao Wu. At that time, my father was in a dilemma between Yuezhi and Central Plains, so he immediately wrote back, asking my grandpa to make the decision for me and preside over the marriage. When my father’s letter arrived, the wedding was already halfway through.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tujue’s wedding customs were grand but simple. People in countless tents had slaughtered numerous fat sheep, and the fragrance of the wine spread everywhere. These days, Gu Xiao Wu had become friends with all Tujue’s nobility. People in Tujue respected heroes most. Gu Xiao Wu became a young and promising hero in Tujue as he had killed the White-Eye Wolf King and won the competition with He Shi. Listening to the hymns sung by the priest, we walked slowly on the red carpet towards the high platform used to offer sacrifices to gods.</div><div><br /></div><div>Just at this moment, there came the sound of clop, then a scout scrambled to the Great Chanyu's throne.</div><div><br /></div><div>Through the bustling crowd, I saw the Great Chanyu frowned. I turned around and ran up to the Great Chanyu without caring much about the priest and his songs. "Grandpa!" patting my hair, the Great Chanyu said with a smile, "nothing serious. The King of Yuezhi has sent some of his soldiers to provoke us. I'll send our army to drive them off." I was unaware that Gu Xiao Wu had stood behind me. He bowed to the Great Chanyu in accordance with Tujue's rituals, saying, "Your Great Chanyu, please allow me to defeat them." "You?" The Great Chanyu glimpsed at him, saying, "The King of Yuezhi has an army of about fifty thousand people." Furthermore, the King of Yuezhi was a veteran general. I was afraid Gu Xiao Wu was no match for thousands of enemies, though he had good mastery of shooting arrows. "Your Great Chanyu, you can send thirty thousand cavalries to fight with those weary enemies. You can also dispatch a general to go with them if you still can't rest assured. I'll assist the general in the battle. If I terrify the cavalry of Yuezhi by shooting arrows, it will be a contribution to Tujue." While the Great Chanyu was hesitating, He Shi said, "Military tactics of the Central Plains army are skillful. They are the people who led an army to defeat the cavalry of Yuezhi on my way back. The Great Chanyu nodded and said to Gu Xiao Wu, "OK. Kill the general of Yuezhi and bring his head back to me as your one of the sacrifices offered to the gods at your wedding ceremony." Gu Xiao Wu knelt before the Great Chanyu according to the Central Plains rituals, saying, "God bless you, the Great Chanyu!" He gave me a look when he stood up, saying, "I'll be back soon." I was so worried about him. Watching him turned around and walking outward, I hastened to catch up with him and tied my girdle around his waist.</div><div><br /></div><div>According to the customs of the wedding ceremony in Tujue, the ceremony was completed when the bride and bridegroom exchanged belts with each other, which signified that they became a married couple with God's blessing. I had wanted him to tie his belt around my waist, but the slave brought him a horse. As a result, there was no time for me to talk to him. Gu Xiao Wu said to me while mounting the horse, "I'll be back very soon." Grasping him by his sleeve, I parted from him with reluctance. I recalled a lot of things that experienced with him. For instance, I once waited for him on the sand dune for three days and three nights; he saved me after I fell off the horse, told me a story that night, killed the White-Eye Wolf King and won the competition with He Shi, and the wonderful time we had catching fireflies… From that moment on, I had made up my mind I would accompany him for a lifetime… I couldn't help but worried about him since he would fight with the enemy.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>He might have seen the worried look in my eyes, so he smiled and bent over to touch my face. His hand was warm, making me feel like it was my mother's hand rather than my father's or grandfather's. I wondered why there were no calluses on his hands now that he was skillful at archery.</div><div><br /></div><div>I always thought of trifles like this while I was baffled by other things. Gu Xiao Wu took his hand back. Thirty thousand soldiers lined up, and their general was my elder cousin, namely the Great Chanyu's grandson, Yi Mo Yan. Yi Mo Yan said to me with a smile, "Sister, rest assured. I'll take care of him." Being used to fighting with others, people in Tujue regarded wars as simple as eating. I liked my cousin Yi Mo Yan as he used to hunt with me and treated me as his own sister. I shouted, "Who asks you to take care of him? Just look after yourself, I am waiting for you to come back for a drink." Everyone laughed loudly, saying, "Your little princess, please rest assured. We'll kill the Yuezhi army and take their heads back when the roast lamb is done." Under the banner of Yi Mo Yan, Gu Xiao Wu put on Tujue's cowhide armor with the helmet covered most of his face. Seeing I was looking for him in the crowd, he smiled and waved hands towards me. I saw my girdle was tied on his belt around his waist. I just tied a knot in a hurry, so I couldn't help but worried if the girdle would loosen. It would be an ominous marriage for us if the girdle loosened… Before I could think about it more, the army set out with the horseshoe rumbled and the dust flew from the earth. The cavalry rushed out the military camp like floods and ran towards the prairie. They had run to the distant horizon in a short while. At first, a long dark shadow was visible far away, but it vanished behind a gentle slope at last.</div><div><br /></div><div>Seeing that I was standing there with a worried look, A’Du could not help but gestured to me, as if she was saying they would be back soon. I knew she was trying to comfort me. I nodded. Although the King of Yuezhi had fifty thousand soldiers, they were no match for the thirty thousand picked soldiers of Tujue since they were weary after a long match and each of Tujue's picked soldiers were able to fight against ten enemies. In addition, the Great Chanyu's army were stationed here, they could rush to support Gu Xiao Wu and others even if the King of Yuezhi sent one hundred thousand cavalries to fight.</div><div><br /></div><div>Some slaves were roasting lamb and others were busy preparing mare's milk and good wine. The camp was filled with cheers and laughter. Everyone knew the soldiers of Tujue would return with triumph over the Yuezhi army after a while. I recalled that I said a fond farewell to Gu Xiao Wu, my face going red. When Yi Mo Yan returned, he would definitely laugh at me! He would be the first to make fun of me because I couldn't bear to let go Gu Xiao Wu. Young aristocrats in Tujue regarded Yi Mo Yan as their leader. In this evening’s singing competition, they would definitely made a joke about me. I felt worried wthen thinking of it. Gu Xiao Wu couldn't sing, so I must tell him after he came back, lest he made a show of himself.</div><div><br /></div><div>But I didn’t know that they would never come back.</div><div><br /></div><div>Many, many years later, I found a history book of Central Plains which recorded this day. There were only a few dull words, “In July, Crown Prince Cheng Yin personally entered the Western Region and allied himself with countries in Yuezhi, leading an army of 400,000 soldiers to attack Tujue. The Great Chanyu of Tujue refused to surrender and died on the battlefield. More than 200,000 Tujue people were slaughtered. The entire Tujue tribe was destroyed.” About that day, I remembered nothing but He Shi clutching his bow before he died. He bled heavily from numerous knife wounds on his chest and abdomen. He knew that he was dying, but he still tried his best to lifted me and A’Du into the saddle. The last sentence he said was “A’Du, take care of princess!” Dense mass of arrows looked like swarm locusts or thousands of meteors. If god relaxed his hold and let all the stars in his hand fell down, it would be like this… A’Du desperately urged the horse onward. There were fires, blood and cries all around. Hundreds of thousands of troops seemed to pop out of the ground. Although Tujue people continued to put up a stiff resistance, they couldn't strike down such strong enemies… Countless people fell down behind us, and countless blood splashed in our face. Without He Shi, we would have not escaped from the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of enemies. But at the end, He Shi died. A’Du and I fled on prairie for six days and six nights before being caught up by pursuers.</div><div><br /></div><div>My leg was injured and A’Du also got wounded. But she still drew her sword and kept me behind her. The hatred in my heart was like a raging fire which so hot that my mouth parched and tongue scorched. I thought to myself, "These people killed grandpa; these people killed Gu Xiao Wu; these people killed all Tujue people." Although I was not a Turk, I had half of Turkish blood in my body. Only A’Du and I were still alive, so I wouldn’t be a discredit to grandpa and Tujue even if I drained the last drop of my blood.</div><div><br /></div><div>At this moment, a cavalryman rushed out from the group of Central Plains, and A’Du rushed to him with a knife. But the man just reached out and deftly moved his hand, A’Du’s knife then dropped into the ground. I looked at that man with amazement, he must know magic, right? Otherwise, how could he cast a spell to take away A’Du’s knife and make her static there?</div><div><br /></div><div>A’Du glared at that man, actually, she rarely got angry, but I knew this time she really did. I picked up A’Du’s knife and tried to chop that man. I had already flown into a rage, no matter who he was, I would kill him!</div><div><br /></div><div>That man also just reached out and gently hit me, I immediately passed out and couldn't sense anything.</div><div><br /></div><div>When I woke up, I was bending over a horse’s back with my face down, looking like a bag of glutinous rice. Though the mud splashed by the horse’s hooves slammed on my face, I couldn’t move. In all directions, I could only see horse’s hooves and countless horse’s legs falling and rising, just like Achnatherum splendens being blown by the wind. I became dazzled and had to close my eyes. After quite a while, the horse finally stopped. Someone lifted me up from horseback, but the acupoint on my leg was sealed for too long, I couldn't hold myself up and suddenly fell to the ground.</div><div><br /></div><div>The ground was covered with thick felt, so I supposed it must be the tent of a general from Central Plains. Is that protectorate? I looked up and saw Gu Xiao Wu. Numerous Turkic warriors were already killed, especially the 30,000 picked Turkic soldiers who had confronted with the enemy beforehand, no one came back alive. But Gu Xiao Wu, he was still alive.</div><div><br /></div><div>Not only was he alive, but he changed the clothes of Central Plains. Although he didn’t wear armor and he looked like a young scholar of Central Plains, I knew that such a tent would never be of a scholar. There were a lot of guards around him, and that general of Central Plains who caught us came in and kneeled down to Gu Xiao Wu. A clear sound came from his armor, which represented the highest courtesy toward the most noble man in Central Plains. I suddenly understood, Gu Xiao Wu, Gu Xiao Wu turned out to be the spy of Central Plains! It was exactly he that had brought about the enemy’s sneak attack. I tried my best to spit at him, “You spy!” The guards beside him hooted at me and someone kicked on my lap, then my legs felt weak and I rolled to the ground again. I saw the protectorate, who also bowed to Gu Xiao Wu to pay respects. They all spoke the language of Central Plains, so I couldn't understand any single sentence. Gu Xiao Wu didn’t look at me, and the protectorate said a lot to Gu Xiao Wu. I saw Gu Xiao Wu’s face was sullen. Finally, all the people left the tent except Gu Xiao Wu and me, then he took the dagger and walked over to me.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>(Original Translation from WWW。wangmamaread。com)</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2021/02/eastern-palace-chapter-30-part-1-2.html"><Chapter 30</a><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span><a href="http://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-chapter-32.html">Chapter 32></a></span></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-56589599758699801002021-02-25T17:59:00.004-05:002021-02-25T19:49:21.857-05:00东宫 Eastern Palace: Chapter 30 <p>I took A’Du and walked outside the king’s tent in a hurry. The Great Chanyu’s big tent was called the king's tent, which was made of countless pieces of cowhide and painted with gorgeous floral decorations. The auspicious sentences of blessing were written on the snow-white canopy, and the gold powder that filled in those strokes was dazzling under the sun in the autumn, which made people dare not see them directly. While those golden shadows of these strokes were reflected on the ground, one could recognize one or half sentence that praying for the blessing from heaven. In that golden light, I narrowed my eyes to see the familiar but strange figure in front of the tent. Although he was in a common robe from Western Liang, he didn't look like our people. He turned his head and smiled at me. Sure enough, he didn't belong to Western Liang, but a man from Central Plains.</p><p>It was Gu Xiao Wu, the merchant who sold tea.</p><p>I couldn’t help but ask him, “What are you doing here?” “To marry you.” I looked at him with a stunned look. After a long while, I smiled and asked him, “Hey, you come here to sell tea again?” Gu Xiao Wu didn't answer me this time but slowly moved the object on the ground back and forth with his tiptoe.</p><p>I saw that thing and got so shocked that my chin was about to fall.</p><p>It was a huge black wolf, almost twice as big as a common wild wolf, just like a little pony. Even though it was already dead, its eyes kept open, as if it was ready to swallow people at any time. While around its left eye, there was a circle of white hair which seemed to be painted with snow-white mare milk. I rubbed my eyes and remained stunned for a while, then I squatted down and pulled off a hair on its left eye, which was white from head to tip. As sure as fate, it was white hair.</p><p>At this time, those nobles of Tujue already gathered in front of the king's tent. They looked at this strangely huge wolf in silence, then some bold children rushed up and pulled out the hair on its eyes as I did, looking it at the direction of the sun. Then they shouted, “It’s white! It’s white!” The noisy voices of the children made me feel uneasy, while the voice of grandpa came directly from the crowd, “Whether or not he belongs to Tujue, he is a true warrior.” The crowd gave way to the Great Chanyu, and grandpa slowly walked out. He looked at the wolf on the ground and nodded. Then he nodded to Gu Xiao Wu and said, "Good!" To win the praise from the Great Chanyu was even more difficult than to melt the snow on the top of Tian Gen mountain. However, Gu Xiao Wu killed the White-Eye Wolf King; as the Great Chanyu had promised, anyone who could kill the White-Eye Wolf King would marry me.</p><p>I didn’t expect this person to be Gu Xiao Wu. I followed him and kept asking him how he killed the White-Eye Wolf King.</p><p>He understated, "I happened to meet a pack of wolves while I was hawking tea with tea merchants. Then I killed that wolf." I couldn't believe it with my mouth slightly opened. It was said that the King of Yuezhi didn't find the White-Eye Wolf King with thirty thousand cavalries in the Tian Gen mountain. However, had Gu Xiao Wu, who passed by while peddling tea killed the White-Eye Wolf King?</p><p>I would not believe it!</p><p>However, the Great Chanyu must keep his words. There were lots of discussions about the princess of Western Liang going to marry Gu Xiao Wu, who was a tea merchant from Central Plains. Gu Xiao Wu was regarded as a hero, but I still believed he was just bluffing. However, He Shi got drunk that day and they shouted at each other, which resulted in a match.</p><p>Their competition was shooting bats on the prairie at night, which was very boring. The one who hit more bats would win.</p><p>Only those who had shot bats before knew how difficult it was.</p><p>The Turks all believed He Shi would win, but they made a bet on this match. I was also sure He Shi would win, though the bones in his right hand were fractured. Even if He Shi shot with his left hand, nobody in Tujue could match him in this respect.</p><p>The match spread rapidly and widely, everyone knowing it in less than half a day. Others said He Shi wanted to marry me. After all, he was the most powerful warrior and might be the most potent general in the Great Chanyu's army in the future. As for me, although I was the princess of Western Liang, everybody realized the Great Chanyu loved me the most. If He Shi married me, the Great Chanyu would trust him more.</p><p>I didn't think He Shi had such strange ideas. I thought A’Du might had told him that I was unwilling to marry Gu Xiao Wu.</p><p>Although I vaguely thought Gu Xiao Wu was not a usual tea merchant, I hope I would not marry so young.</p><p>Singing the hymns, the Turkic priest dripped the sheep blood into two bowls and handed them to He Shi and Gu Xiao Wu, who were about to have a match. Both of them drank it up at one draught. They were going to slug it out tonight. He Shi was an illustrious hero in Tujue and Gu Xiao Wu was regarded by many Turks as a hero thanks to his killing of the White-Eye Wolf King. Everyone thrilled to see their match. However, I was embarrassed that I didn't know who I hoped to win.</p><p>If Gu Xiao Wu won, did I have to marry him?</p><p>If He Shi won, was I going to marry He Shi?</p><p>Thinking of that, I was shocked. On behalf of me, He Shi just wanted to teach Gu Xiao Wu a lesson to make him less arrogant.</p><p>It reminded me of He Shi punished the boys who sang outside A’Du's tent. If they were too noisy, He Shi would figure out a way to calm them down. Gu Xiao Wu killed the White-Eye Wolf King, but no one was convinced. However, he didn’t care about that at all, just openly telling grandpa that he wanted to marry me.</p><p>That's why He Shi wanted to teach him a lesson.</p><p>Even the Great Chanyu heard about their competition. Quite excited, he also wanted to have a look. I was upset, following grandpa in the crowd to the riverside. The warrior guarding the Great Chanyu's tent took arrows and piled them at the feet of Gu Xiao Wu and He Shi. He Shi was about to use his own bow, but when he saw Gu Xiao Wu empty-handed, he said to Gu Xiao Wu, “I will lend my bow to you.” Gu Xiao Wu nodded, but the Great Chanyu said with a smile, “In our Tujue people's camp, we may lack everything but bows." The Great Chanyu gave an iron bow to Gu Xiao Wu. I was worried about him. This iron bow was heavier than common bows. Gu Xiao Wu looked so gentle and frail that it might even be difficult for him to tighten the bowstring. He Shi also thought of this, but he didn’t want to take advantage of Gu Xiao Wu. He said to the Great Chanyu, “Let him use my bow. The Great Chanyu, please give this bow to me.” The Great Chanyu shook his head, saying, “I won't marry my granddaughter to a man who can’t even tighten a bow.” The onlookers laughed. Many of them didn't believe that the White-Eye Wolf King was really killed by Gu Xiao Wu, so they poured scorn on him. Gu Xiao Wu took the bow, plucking the string with his fingers as if he was playing a guzheng¹. The bowstring vibrated, making the onlookers laugh even louder. He was a fair-skinned gentleman, like the Central Plains musicians Tujue nobles bought. Just now he really played the bowstring, which made the Tujue people look down on him much more.</p><p>The evening closed in, bats hovering above the river. The Great Chanyu nodded and said, “Get the competition started.” He Shi and Gu Xiao Wu both had a pile of hundred arrows at their feet. The one who shot one hundred bats first would be the winner. He Shi first pulled back his bowstring. Although he used his left hand, every arrow reached its mark, which dazzled the others. In just one blink, bats dropped from the sky one after another. However, Gu Xiao Wu acted unhurriedly, notching five arrows to his bowstring.</p><p>I called Gu Xiao Wu by his name. Although I didn’t know if he could shoot, he should know that only one arrow should be notched a bowstring each time. Gu Xiao Wu looked back and smiled at me, then drawing back his bowstring.</p><p>To be honest, it had never occurred to me that Gu Xiao Wu pulled back the bowstring easily. Not only that, he shot five arrows in succession. The end-to-head arrows flew as fast as a meteor, which surprised people around Gu Xiao Wu. "Lianzhu arrows, Lianzhu arrows (arrows fly in rapid succession like a chain of pearls)!" Several Tujue nobles exclaimed and even the Great Chanyu could not help but nodded. There was a senior general in Central Plains who excelled at shooting Lianzhu arrows and killed Zuotu Shewang of Tujue in this way once he confronted the Tujue army. But after all, it was a legend. Nobles in Tujue had never seen anyone shooting Lianzhu arrows again for decades. Gu Xiao Wu shot five arrows at a time and finished shooting Lianzhu arrows in one smooth motion. Although the bats fluttered everywhere, they were shot down by Gu Xiao Wu's arrows that flew in rapid succession. Bats fell down at his feet like a torrential rain. He Shi shot fast, but he was no match for Gu Xiao Wu, who completed shooting that one hundred arrows in moments. Slaves picked up bats and piled them up on one bank of the river. One hundred bats were like one hundred strange black flowers, piling together to form a large black hill.</p><p>He Shi shot slower than Gu Xiao Wu, though he also shot down one hundred bats. He Shi said calmly, "You win." Gu Xiao Wu replied, "I can only shoot Lianzhu arrows by using a strong bow. If I used your bow, I would shoot slower than you. Furthermore, your right hand is injured and you shot only with your left hand. Winning this competition will bring no honor to me."</p><p>"Neither of us lose. You are a warrior, who I can not match if your hands were in good condition." The crowd were stunned by Gu Xiao Wu's shooting skills and could not help but applauded him for his frank words. People in Tujue had a candid disposition and loved those who did things outright, for example, Gu Xiao Wu. The Great Chanyu smiled frankly, saying, "Good. Our Tujue warrior does not lose." Fixing his eyes on Gu Xiao Wu, he said, " You Central Plains man, tell me what kind of reward you want?" "Your Great Chanyu, you have bestowed your most precious thing on me." Gu Xiao Wu seemed to smile, saying, "What is more precious than your little princess in this world?" The Great Chanyu roared with laughter and other nobles in Tujue were filled with joy. The marriage was settled in this way.</p><p>The priest chose an auspicious and crisp day in autumn, on which our wedding ceremony was about to be held. Being very hesitant about the marriage, I asked A’Du secretly, "Which is better, to marry him or not?" A’Du looked at me with her black eyes. There were always calm and serenity in her eyes. I couldn’t make up my mind. Finally, I mustered the courage to make a date to meet Gu Xiao Wu.</p><p>I didn’t know what to say to him, but if I married him in such a hurried fashion… I felt a little uneasy.</p><p>A cool wind blew in the autumn night. I gathered the fur robe around me, walking up and down the riverside while hearing the river gurgling. The honk of geese coming from afar made me look around. There had been a bright star rising in the west. The sky was dark purple, like a grape jelly.</p><p>The achnatherum splendens rustled in the wind. Gu Xiao Wu walked on achnatherum splendens¹ in my direction.</p><p>I suddenly felt panic. He wore a Tujuese robe and a scimitar at his side as all other Tujuese did. These days, Gu Xiao Wu had won the great Chanyu's favour. He was not only proficient in shooting arrows, but also Turkish. Therefore, he came from Central Plains though, the Great Chanyu trusted him more and more, and gave him the iron bow. Moreover, He Shi had been like a brother to Gu Xiao Wu since the competition that night. Gu Xiao Wu taught He Shi how to shoot Lianzhu arrows, and He Shi taught Gu Xiao Wu local custom on prairie. When the Great Chanyu saw them, he couldn't help but feel gratified. He Shi even exchanged his scimitar² with Gu Xiao Wu – Tujuese only changed their scimitar with a sworn brother. Sworn brothers, willing to die for each other when fighting enemies, had a closer relationship than real brothers did. So Gu Shi Wu actually wore He Shi's scimitar at his side. As soon as I saw the scimitar, I remembered the last time He Shi had handed it to me and urged me to go first.</p><p>Gu Xiao Wu also saw me. He smiled at me in the distance, and I also gave him a smile. Seeing his smile, I suddenly calmed down. Although neither of us spoke, he must know why I made a date to see him here. Sure enough, he said to me: “I brought something to you.” My heart beat fast – was it a belt? If he wanted to give me his belt, what should I say? According to the custom of Tujue and Western Liang, a man had to give his belt to his lover after singing a song… He did not sing to me. I felt very embarrassed with my heart beating wildly, but he said, “You are not full up tonight, right? I bring a large rack of lamb to you!” I suddenly got so irritated that I couldn’t even say a word, I pouted for a long time and finally said, “You are the one who are not full up yet!” Gu Xiao Wu was confused, “I certainly have enough… I noticed that you didn’t eat anything tonight, so I bring a rack of lamb to you.” I remained silent and angry, listening to unknown birds singing in the distance. The river was flowing, and a fish jumped from the water, leaving a splash. I indeed ate nothing at night, because all I thought was the date with Gu Xiao Wu by the river, so I lost my appetite. Now I saw this large rack of lamb Gu Xiao Wu put in front of me, my stomach rang. He laughed and handed the knife to me and said, “Eat!” The lamb chops were delicious! I ate it and my mouth was moist with oil, I asked him happily, “How do you know that I love lamb chops?” Gu Xiao Wu said something in the Central Plains language. I didn’t understand it. He repeated it to me again in Turkish, “Where there is a will, there’s a way.” I had never heard of such a sentence, and my heart skipped a beat. What kind of people could be called as people with a will? Although we met not long ago, I always felt that I had known him for a long time. Maybe it was because we had experienced so many things, every time he would help me and protect me. Though every time what he said would make me angry, but this sentence didn't.</p><p>We sat silently by the river, and the singing of Turks was floating from the distance. It was a subtle love song. Turkish warriors would always sing outside the tent of their beloved girl to convey their innermost thoughts and feelings.</p><p>I had never felt that the sound of singing was so beautiful, and it sounded like a fairy melody. The fireflies flying in the grass near the river resembled ethereal meteors, as well as a handful of scattered golden sand. I even believed that those little shining insects were the messengers of the gods. They carried delicate lanterns and flashed in the cool night. There were also tiny flames in the camp on the other side of the river, and the laughter of people sounded far away. I suddenly realized that if the gods looked at the world from the clouds in the heavens, would they have such feelings? These so ethereal, so illusory, so distant and blurred feelings.</p><p>Translator's Notes:</p><p>1.

The Empress then ordered someone to poison the nourishing soup that the girl would have daily. The girl had the poisonous soup and gradually got weak and died of illness. Before she passed away, she hoped to make the cause of Gong Zi’s death public, but it was too late. The Empress put her under house arrest, saying that she had serious tuberculosis and was not allowed to see anyone. Besides, the Empress also took the newly-born little Prince away…" I was quite nervous, asking, "Did the Empress even kill the little Prince?" Gu Xiao Wu looked as usual and shook his head, "The Empress wouldn't kill the little Prince. She had no children herself, so she brought up the little Prince and taught him the skills. The little Prince regarded the Empress as his own birth mother, but he had never known that his real birth mother was originally killed by the Empress. Later… the little Prince finally knew the truth, but he couldn’t help it. He was still young, while the Empress was very powerful, and he couldn’t go against her. The Emperor also hesitated by then, because he not only had the little Prince as his son, he also got other Princes. The Emperor pondered over these Princes, not knowing who to pass the throne to in the future. The other Princes strove for the throne secretly, and they all knew that the little Prince was not the birth son of the Empress; while the Empress also bore a grudge against the little Prince… However, the Emperor finally sent the little Prince as the Crown Prince. In Zixu, there were very few Crown Princes who could live more than thirty years old, as they would either be assassinated or be dethroned and put under house arrest by their fathers until they died. There were also some Crown Princes who had plotted a rebellion against their fathers in order to seize the opportunity… Some of them succeeded, some failed; the winner became the Emperor, and finally died, while the loser failed to become the Emperor, he also died… In fact, Eastern Palace is a court immersed in blood…” Gu Xiao Wu ceased his narration and got absent-minded suddenly, while I also looked at him dumbly. This story was not fun at all, unlike those stories I had heard before. I wondered why I didn't interrupt Gu Xiao Wu. After a while, he continued his story in a plain tone: "Although the little prince was the crown prince, he led a hard life. The empress was wary of him and the emperor threw him a difficult problem to handle, saying: "Since you are the crown prince, you should set an example to our subjects. Then the emperor sent the little prince to a place to carry out a task that was almost impossible to complete…" "The little prince was pitiful." I pumped him for more details: "What was the prince's task at last?" "That was the end." Gu Xiao Wu dabbed his saddle and lay down again comfortably, "Go to sleep." I flew into a fury. How could I fall asleep without knowing the end of the story? I said: "I didn't ask why, but why you stopped talking?" Gu Xiao Wu replied: "That was the whole story. How could I continue?" He turned his back to me. I only saw his shoulder blades. Though covered with sheepskin, he still huddled up together because of the cold wind at night. He seemed to be asleep.</p><p>I pulled the leather mattress under my chin, which made me warm. I thought: Gu Xiao Wu looked heartless, and his story was even more annoying! However, looking at him asleep, I thought he was somewhat pathetic. In his story, the little prince didn't have a mother, neither did he. Certainly, a motherless person was pitiful. If I didn't have a mom, I would cry right away.</p><p>I drifted off to sleep in a daze. I dreamed of the little prince possibly because I had heard the story before sleep. He was a very young boy who was only three or four years old. Crouching and crying there, he huddled up together like a small injured beast. He looked like a wounded fox that I found in a hunter's trap after a fall of snow. The little fox huddled, looking at me with its watery black eyes. It was very alert to me, but it also had a hint of fear. It squeezed its shoulder blades together, with its pointy mouth hidden under its claws. Snow falling thickly, I felt tender and protective toward it, so I couldn’t help but reach out to hug it to me. But I didn't expect when it raised its head, it turned out to be Gu Xiao Wu, which was spooky. I got shocked and woke with a start. Now it was beginning to get light – there was a thin crescent in the western sky, the stars growing dim and even the bonfire gradually dying down. The night seemed to deepen. Two thousand cavalrymen slept heavily on the prairie, and only the sentinels were still patrolling. The grass beside my face was covered with cool dew which fell on my face when I touched the grass. I licked the dew – it was sweet. Then I turned over and fell asleep again.</p><p>As soon as the day broke, we struck camp and rode east for five or six days. We finally met the rangers Tujue had sent. Hearing that the Great Chanyu’s tent was nearby, He Shi was overjoyed. I was also very happy because I would see my grandfather soon. But it was not convenient for the two thousand cavalrymen from the Central Plains to stay in the border of Tujue, so they would go back soon.</p><p>He Shi admired them much, praising them for their strict military discipline, swift actions, and bravery. He said they were true men hard to come at. Together with He Shi, I walked with them part of the way west.</p><p>The hot sun beat brightly upon us in the afternoon. Gu Xiao Wu lowered his head, dozing off on his horse. I said, “Hey, do me a favour – give a message to my father that I have arrived at Tujue safely.” Gu Xiao Wu said: “It depends on whether I will go back to the empire city to sell tea.” I said: "If not, where will you go?” He smiled but didn’t answer. The calvarymen from the Central Plains had gone far. He waved at me and then caught up with them.</p><p>I covered my forehead with my hand, looking over the flat and endless prairie. After a long time, I saw that he caught up with the team and waved to us. They gradually went far, like the dust between the heavens and the earth, subtle and indistinguishable. I gazed at his back and remembered the story he told me yesterday, feeling lost.</p><p>Suddenly someone behind me chuckled. I turned back and found it was He Shi. He reined his horse in behind me, and I asked him with embarrassment and anger, "What are you laughing at?" He Shi nodded but shook his head then, saying to me with a smile, “Little Princess, let’s go back.” Seeing grandpa, I was so happy that I forgot all my troubles. It had been a year since we last met, so grandpa doted on me more, allowing all my mischief. He Shi’s arm was injured and Grandpa worried that I would get into trouble without He Shi's accompany, so he asked He Shi’s sister to follow me all day long. He Shi’s sister was about the same age as me. She studied martial arts since childhood, quite skilled at wielding a saber. I liked calling her name, “A’Du! A’Du!” Just like calling a little bird. And she also really resembled a little bird, as no matter where I was, she would immediately appear in front of my eyes when I called her, just like a bird flapping its wings deftly and showing up at another place immediately.</p><p>What I didn’t expect was that the King of Yuezhi had sent an envoy to propose marriage. Grandpa didn't let the envoy enter his tent, instead, he sent someone to pass his message to the envoy: “Although the Little Princess is not the princess of Tujue, her mother is the daughter of the Great Chanyu. The Great Chanyu cherishes the Little Princess a lot and is only willing to marry her to a real hero. If your king wants to marry the Little Princess, then he has to come to the Great Chanyu's tent in person and compete with those warriors of Tujue. As long as he can catch the White-Eye Wolf King in the Tian Gen Mountain, the Great Chanyu will definitely marry the Little Princess to him. This is the Great Chanyu’s decree, even the father of Little Princess, the King of Western Liang, will be willing to accept the Great Chanyu's arrangement.” The envoy met with a rebuff, going back disapprovingly.</p><p>The Great Chanyu’s words spread throughout the prairie, everyone knowing that if one wanted to marry Western Liang’s little princess, he had to kill the White-Eye Wolf King. Legend had it that Tian Gen Mountain had thousands of wolves, but they only regarded a white-eye wolf as their king. Wolves were just like people, succumbing to the strongest one. The White-Eye Wolf King's coat was intensely black, but around its left eye was a circle of white hair which seemed to be painted with snow-white mare milk. It was said that such a creature was actually not a wolf but almost a demon. Wolves on the prairie were terrifying, and the White-Eye Wolf King was even more scary. Even small groups of cavalry or herdsmen would be in a very dangerous situation when they meet the White-Eye Wolf King, because it would lead tens of thousands of wolves to fight against people, and then eat all the people and horses. I once thought that the White-Eye Wolf King was a legend, just living in a story told by my grandmother. After all, no one had ever seen the White-Eye Wolf King, but everyone had vowed that the Wolf King did lead tens of thousands of wolves on the Tian Gen Mountain.</p><p>The Great Chanyu goaded the King of Yuezhi into entering the Tian Gen Mountain to look for the White-Eye Wolf King. What if he really killed the White-Eye Wolf King? I didn’t want to marry such an old man. But no one could kill the White-Eye Wolf King – all Tujue people believed that, so did all the people on the prairie. Although the King of Yuezhi took a large troop of soldiers and sent out for the Tian Gen Mountain where the white-eye wolf lived, they might not find the White-Eye Wolf King, because no one really saw the White-Eye Wolf King – it was only a legend. I felt comforted when I thought about it. The King of Yuezhi was old and weak, and the Tian Gen mountain, a few hundred miles around, had many overhanging rocks and beasts. Maybe he would be thrown from his horse and became paralysed, then I didn’t have to marry him.</p><p>I led an even happier life in Tujue than I did in Western Liang. Every day with A’Du, I either went hunting or catching birds. Girls in Tujue married young, and A’Du was old enough to sing songs. Sometimes there were people singing all night long outside her tent, which made me fail to fall asleep. However, nobody had ever sung to me, I believed it might be because they knew they had to kill the White-Eye Wolf King to marry me. Even for the warriors on the prairie, it was a tough task.</p><p>I didn't believe it was because I was not beautiful that nobody had ever sung to me.</p><p>I was sleeping in the tent that day when I suddenly heard a clamour, which sounded as if the encampment was blown up. Rolling out of bed, I shouted aloud "A’Du". She lifted the curtain of the tent hastily and entered. I asked her: "What's going on? What happened?" A’Du was also confused, I thought neither of us knew what happened. At this moment, my grandfather sent a person over to bend to salute us, saying, "The Great Chanyu summoned the Little Princess to his tent." "Are we going to war?" I asked nervously. Last time, the envoy of the King of Yuezhi returned in disgrace, according to the king's disposition, he would not give up that easily. The King of Yuezhi was goaded into looking for the White-Eye Wolf King, but wasn't it a hard task? This was clearly a trap for him made by the Great Chanyu – my grandfather who loved me the most. If the King of Yuezhi suddenly realized it and became furious, he would wage war against Tujue. If Yuezhi and Tujue were at war, it would be a bad thing for the whole western regions. Powerfully occupied the north of the Gobi desert, Tujue was the strongest country in western regions, with its territory extended all the way to the east coast. However, Yuezhi was also one of the largest countries with solid national strength in western regions though it compared unfavorably with Tujue. In addition, several decades of transient peace had make people on the trade routes unimpeded, and cities take on flourishing view. For example, if there was no trade routes, our Western Liang would not be as prosperous as it was today. Everything might be ruined after a war.</p><p>(Original Translation from WWW。wangmamaread。com)</p><p><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2021/02/eastern-palace-chapter-28.html"><Chapter 28</a><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2021/02/eastern-palace-chapter-30-part-1-2.html">Chapter 30></a></span></p>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-59357685307742361152021-02-25T17:57:00.015-05:002021-02-25T19:48:27.081-05:00东宫 Eastern Palace: Chapter 27<div>"All right." I clenched the machete's handle and said, "I’ll inform him that." He Shi nodded and loosed the water pocket from his saddle, then told me: "Go straight east for three hundred miles. If you don't find Chanyu’s tent there, you could turn north. It is not far away from the left Guli (an official title of Tujue), just about a hundred miles." "I know." He Shi hit hard at my horse with his machete back and shouted: "HEEYA!!" The little red horse jumped out and the cavalry of Yuezhi clamored for that. While the little red horse ran fast like a flash of lightning and ran out miles away in an instant. I kept looking back and found that the dense cavalry of Yuezhi marched towards He Shi gradually as if the ants were moving before the rain. Then He Shi and dozens of cavalries of Tujue were surrounded by them, like grains of rice surrounded by a colony of ants.</div><div><br /></div><div>There were some cavalries who wanted to chase me, while they all were shot ten horse away from me – although He Shi was begird, there was no one could avoid his shooting. Falling and rolling to the ground, these men could not gain around on me. The little red horse ran faster and faster, and the sky was dark gradually. At last, except the white gonfalon, all things faded away in the dark.</div><div><br /></div><div>I galloped at full speed on the prairie. No moon and stars in the sky, it was so stuffy as to drip from the sky. I had never seen such weather and it seemed to rain. It was a terrible thing to meet a heavy rain on the prairie. I looked up and only found the sky was dark completely, like an upturned iron pot. There was no moon and star so that it was hard to identify the direction. I was really afraid that I went in the wrong direction.</div><div><br /></div><div>There was nothing in the grassland so that one could rush without any worries. I rushed in the dark for half the night and fortunately, the cavalry of Yuezhi didn't come up. But He Shi and dozens of cavalries of Tujue didn’t break through the enemy. I was worried about He Shi's safety and afraid that I went in the wrong direction. So, I was anxious and angry and nearly cried out. At that moment, after a loud crack, a streak of purple lightning cut through the dark night, brightening for a while, then the thunder followed it and rang.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was really going to rain and I had to find a shelter. Lines of lightning like stiff snakes were stalking around in the sky with dark clouds. By the light of these lightenings, I saw the rocks in the distance. It turned out that I had been running along Tian Gen Mountain for half the night. But I was still at the foot of the mountain.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was better to find a shelter than being caught in the rain. I urged the horse to move forward. The little red horse dexterously stepped over the rocks. I was afraid that the gravel would hurt the horseshoe, so I dismounted from the horse and walked with it to get under shelter. The heavy rain had already been “squatting” down, and the thick white tendon-like rain was striking people constantly, making me very painful. The rain poured through my clothes and flowed into my eyes. I couldn't even open my eyes, wiped the water on my face, and finally saw a big stone protruding out. It was a good place to shelter from the rain.</div><div><br /></div><div>I climbed up to shelter under the protruding boulder, curling up there with my little red horse. The thunder was rumbling, with the fast and heavy rain. I was unutterably worried about He Shi. The little red horse half knelt under the rock. It seemed to understand my anxiety, licking my palm with its tongue once in a while. I held the little red horse's neck in my arms and murmured, "Are He Shi and others alright…" It rained hard outside, and the water from the hill rushed down in front of the boulder to form a white curtain. The mist gradually came under the rock, which made me feel like a drizzle.</div><div><br /></div><div>I had no idea how long had the rain last, but it stopped gradually. Water ran like a clattering brook beside the mountains and rocks. The wind blew away the dark clouds and a bright moon appeared.</div><div><br /></div><div>I sneezed with my clothes soaked and clung to my body. A chilly wind was blowing, which made me feel even more cold. It was impossible to light a fire with the wet tinder.</div><div><br /></div><div>The sound of the flowing water faded away. The little red horse came over affectionately and licked my face with its warm tongue. I thought it was better to go downhill and go on pathfinding since the rain stopped.</div><div><br /></div><div>When I reached the foot of the mountain, the moon was about to set, so I found the direction easily. The little red horse stayed under the boulder uneasily for half a night. Now it was running vigorously towards the orient where the white light glowed. The sun was about to rise, otherwise why was I feeling so hot?</div><div><br /></div><div>Thinking about it in a daze, I gradually loosened the reins. Riding the horse was like being in a cradle, which made me comfortable. I didn't sleep the whole night, and now I simply drifted off.</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't know how long I had slept, maybe I had slept for a while or for a long time. Finally, the horse waded into a river, and I was suddenly woken by the ice cold water splashed on me by the horseshoes. There were no one in the wilderness, and Tian Gen mountain was far left behind. The huge mountain range behind me looked like a sky-high giant. The giant's head was covered with a white snow hat, which was made of ice and snow that never melted. Snow water from the Tian Gen mountain collected here to make this river, so the river was bitterly cold.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hadn't eaten anything for a long time, which contributed to my exhaustion. But the dry food was tied behind the saddle. I was thirsty and had no appetite at all. While I was wondering whether to stop and drink some water or not, I suddenly saw a black shadow wiggling not far away, which looked like an cavalry coming towards me. I feared it was Yuezhi's cavalry, so I looked afar, only to see a vague shadow. It ran fast, fortunately, there was only one rider and a horse.</div><div><br /></div><div>If only it was the Left Guli's (an official title of Tujue) scout… I tried my best to pull out the tulwar on my back in case I encountered an enemy. I would fight to the end.</div><div><br /></div><div>This was my last thought, and then everything went dark and I fell off the horse.</div><div><br /></div><div>People in Western Liang started practicing horse riding and archery since they were very young. Both men and women could ride horses when they could walk. As the ninth princess in Western Liang who grew up on the horseback, falling off the horseback would make everyone laugh at me in the city when they heard the news.</div><div><br /></div><div>When I woke up, I was still clenching the tulwar. I blinked and saw the clear blue sky and the white clouds which seemed within touch. I was lying on the darkside of a gentle slope that blocked most of the scorching sunlight. I felt relieved with the cool wind in autumn and the red horse's neigh not far away. "Awake?" The voice was familiar, I got up dizzy and blinked, still feeling incredible.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was Gu Xiao Wu, the tea merchant from Central Plains. He sat lazily on the grassy slope, eating dried beef in his hand.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was startled: "Why are you here?" He said: "I came here by accident." I wouldn't believe his words!</div><div><br /></div><div>I was so hungry that my stomach kept rumbling. I remembered the little red horse carrying dry food, so I made a whistle. I saw the little red horse ran towards me, only to find that there was nothing on its back, and even the saddle was disappeared. I took a closer look and noticed that Gu Xiao Wu was sitting on my saddle, and his beef was the dry food I brought here! "Hey!" I was very angry and asked aloud, "Where is my dry food?" With his mouth full of beef, he raised his hand where only a little beef was left: "The last piece…" That was not the last piece – it was only a bite of beef!</div><div><br /></div><div>I stared at him putting the last bite of beef into his mouth, screaming: "You ate them all? What do I eat?" "You'll fast." He took a sip of water from a water bag, saying casually, "You just had a fever, so you can't eat this kind of thing now." Fever? I jumped to my feet: "Why did you come here? Besides, you ate all my dry food! Pay for me! Pay for me!" He smiled: "I ate your food, and that's all. I have nothing to compensate for your food." I got so exasperated that I started looking for the sword that He Shi gave me.</div><div><br /></div><div>Seeing me as restless as on a hot pan, he said slowly: "If you go back to the city with me, I will pay you a cow." I rolled my eyes: "Why should I go back to the city with you?" "Your father posted a reward notice, saying that anyone who can find you and bring you back to the city will be rewarded with 100 gold ingots." He looked at me seriously, "100 gold ingots! How many cows can I buy with them?"</div><div><br /></div><div>I was really irritated by nothing but "100 gold ingots". "My father really posted such a notice?" "Of course", He said, "It's absolutely true!" "I'm worth only 100 gold ingots?" I was so disappointed, "I think I'm worth at least a million gold ingots, along with countless cattle, sheep and slaves…" Father always said that I was his favorite little princess, but he only gave a reward of 100 gold ingots. He was stingy! Really stingy!</div><div><br /></div><div>Gu Xiao Wu burst out laughing, but I didn't know what he was laughing for. I disliked his laugh, especially when he looked at me with a smile, as if he was looking at 100 gold ingots.</div><div><br /></div><div>I said loudly: "Dream on! I won’t go back with you!" Gu Xiao Wu said: "So where do you want to go? After your leaving, people at Yuezhi were very angry and said that your father deliberately let you go. Yuezhi dispatched a large group of soldiers to bring you back. If you go around on the prairie and meet them, then you will get in trouble." It was true, because I already met them. Thinking of that, I let out a cry – I almost forgot He Shi! I had to deliver the message to my grandfather!</div><div><br /></div><div>Gu Xiao Wu saw that my countenance changed, so he asked: "What's the matter?" I didn’t want to tell him, but he was the only one by my side on the prairie. Shifu's swordsmanship was so brilliant, so maybe Gu Xiao Wu was also a good swordsman.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>After telling Gu Xiao Wu about Yuezhi chasing me, he said: “According to your words, the tent of the Great Chanyu of Tujue is at least three hundred miles away?” I nodded. “But Tujue people are nomadic, how can you find them?” “I have a way. In short, I must save He Shi.” Gu Xiao Wu frowned at me, saying: “But water from afar wouldn’t help quench a fire nearby. Grand Protectorate General to Pacify the West is near here, why don’t you turn to its head office to resist Yuezhi?” I was stunned. To be honest, although armies from the Central Plains controlled the Western Regions for their great strength, other countries were unsettled by such a strength. As a result, even if countries in the Western Regions were at war, none of them would resort to the Central Plains armed forces. From the view of our people of Western Regions, it was our own business. The Centric State in the Central Plains sent troops to the Western Regions to control here, but the dispute between the countries in the Western Regions would not involve the Centric State. To give an example, when fighting with your own brother, you would not turn to an outsider for help in any case.</div><div><br /></div><div>I said: “Although Grand Protectorate General to Pacify the West is close here, I can't turn to their armies.” Gu Xiao Wu raised his eyebrows: “Why?” I didn’t know the reason, but all countries in the Western Regions had this taboo. I said: “In any case, we have nothing to do with the Emperor of Central Plains.” “Under the sky, nothing isn’t the king’s land; the people who lead the lands, no one isn’t the king’s subjects.” said Gu Xiao Wu, “Everything in this world is related to the Emperor of the Central Plains. Besides, the reason why the Emperor set up Grand Protectorate General to Pacify the West is that he needs to maintain the stability of the Western Regions. Yuezhi really crossed the line, so we can take this opportunity to teach them lessons.” He spoke like a book, and I couldn't understand his words. He led both horses here and said, “The Grand Protectorate General to Pacify the West is in the south. It takes only half a day to reach there. I will accompany you to ask its head office for help.” I hesitated: “I… I don't think it's a good idea.” “You don’t want to save He Shi?” “Of course!” He helped me mount little red horse and said, “Come along!” After we traveled a long way, I suddenly remembered one thing: “How on earth did you find me? " Gu Xiao Wu's face was as beautiful as a Hetian jade under the burning sun at noon. He grinned, showing his white teeth: “Just try my luck!” As Gu Xiao Wu said, we rode south and saw a city built like a towering mountain at sunset after half a day. The Emperor of the Central Plains set up the Grand Protectorate General to Pacify the West more than a hundred years ago, stationing troops and opening up wasteland for farming so as to protect the important line of communications.</div><div><br /></div><div>This was a vital communications hub for merchants, which was the only place for passing travelers to stop for a rest, so it was more prosperous than the empire city of Western Liang.</div><div><br /></div><div>At first I was worried that the protectorate would ignore Gu Xiao Wu and me. I didn’t expect that Gu Xiao Wu should take me straight to its head office and hit the drum in front of the hall.</div><div><br /></div><div>Later I learned that the drum was of great significance. Although it was called Taiping (which means peace) Drum, in fact, it had another name: Xing (which means wake up) Drum. Hitting the drum meant a war would begin. Several soldiers rushed out and took us inside without giving us the opportunity to explain. The protectorate was sitting in the courtroom. He was a mailed general with a bushy beard, having an air of authority. Among all the Central Plains people I had seen, he was most like a military officer.</div><div><br /></div><div>He asked us what happened in a deep voice. I didn’t understand the lauguage the Central Plains people use, so I looked at Gu Xiao Wu without knowing what to do. Gu Xiao Wu signaled to me that I should answer. I had no idea. Fortunately, the protectorate could speak Tujue language. Seeing I don't understand the Central Plains Mandarin, he asked me again in Tujue language, "Why do you beat the drum in front of the hall?" I could speak quite fluent Tujue language because my mother was a Turkic. Therefore I told them the cavalry of Yuezhi had intruded into the Tujue's territory and requested a troop to save He Shi and his men.</div><div><br /></div><div>The protectorate hesitated. The Protectorate General to Pacify the West rarely interfered in the affairs of western countries except putting down rebellions since it was established in the Central Plains. Yuezhi's invasion into Tujue's territory was improper, but it was indeed unconventional that the weak Yuezhi bullied the strong Tujue. I thought it was the reason why he hesitated.</div><div><br /></div><div>He said as expected, "Since Tujue's cavalry is well-known outside the Yumen Gate, why do you Tujue people ask me for help instead of sending your troops?" I told him that the Great Chanyu’s tent transferred constantly, and it would take me a long time to find the Left Guli and his army, although they were nearby. So I turned to the Protectorate General to Pacify the West for help, hoping to rescue He Shi and his men as soon as possible.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thinking of He Shi and his dozens of cavalries who were resisting a huge number of cavalries of Yuezhi, I was extremely worried. While the protectorate was wavering, Gu Xiao Wu suddenly said a sentence in Central Plains Mandarin.</div><div><br /></div><div>Hearing that, the protectorate seemed to be shocked and stood up from his judgement seat. Gu Xiao Wu stepped forward and bowed. His voice was so low that I couldn't hear him clearly. Besides, I knew a little about Central Plains Mandarin. After he said a few words, the protectorate kept nodding.</div><div><br /></div><div>The protectorate soon commanded a chiliarch to take two thousand cavalries to rescue He Shi and his men that very night.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was overjoyed. After coming out of the Protectorate General to Pacify the West, I asked Gu Xiao Wu, "How could you make him agree on sending troops?" Gu Xiao Wu showed a sly grin and said, "I won't tell you." I pouted angrily.</div><div><br /></div><div>The army of the Central Plains was highly disciplined. Although they rushed at late night, they queued up neatly. I could hear nothing but clop, clang of amour occasionally and the sound of torch burning. I noticed that torches used by the Central Plains Army were made of wood with wad on one side and were soaked in kerosene. Kerosene was a specialty of Tian Gen Mountain. It was dark and flammable, which was used by herdsmen to make fire and boil water occasionally. But people in the city seldom used it due to its heavy smoke and pungent odor. Unexpectedly, the army of the Central Plains used it to make torches. I thought they were smart, so they could always come up with solutions that we couldn't imagine.</div><div><br /></div><div>After rushing all night, we caught up with Yuezhi's cavalry at the crack of dawn. At that time, they had retreated to Yuezhi's territory.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yuezhi's cavalry ran exceedingly fast. The white gonfalon had disappeared and He Shi and dozens of Tujue warriors had vanished with horses when we caught up with Yuezhi's cavalry. I was terrified that He Shi and his men were killed. While Gu Xiao Wu was conferring with the chiliarch, I heard the cavalry of the Central Plains dispatch orders to disperse.</div><div><br /></div><div>I heard from my father that army of the Central Plains paid attention to tactical formation. It was awesome to defeat the enemy with a force inferior in number. Especially now, the cavalry of the Central Plains was more than twice larger than that of Yuezhi and intended to surround Yuezhi's cavalry, which made Yuezhi's general turned his horse around and reprimanded.</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn’t know what he was talking about because I hadn't learned Yuezhi's language. But Gu Xiao Wu, a tea merchant traveling around the Western Regions, must know it. He said to me: "The general is questioning us, why our troop intruded into Yuezhi's territory." I said: "He crossed Tujue's frontier yesterday and claimed me as a lost slave of Yuezhi. Now he should be in the right and self-confident." Gu Xiao Wu said something to the chiliarchy besides him, and then latter ordered one soldier to give a response to Yuezhi's general. Gu Xiao Wu smiled at me and said: "I told Yuezhi's general that we are just passing by here for escorting Western Liang's princess to return home. Therefore, he doesn't need to be panic and afraid we attack them." I thought he was so shameless that if there was a list for liars, Gu Xiao Wu must be ranked 1st. He was capable to lie forcefully and with justice. Were all people from the Central Plains good at lying? Shifu was a liar, so was Gu Xiao Wu.</div><div><br /></div><div>When the two sides were negotiating, with the cover of light thin fog in the morning, that chiliarchy had taken a thousand light cavalries to surround Yuezhi's cavalry from their back. When Yuezhi's cavalry became aware of that, the vanguard units had started the attack.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was a battle without any suspense. Yuezhi's cavalry was defeated, because they couldn't break through the army's encirclement. Most of Yuezhi's cavalries were killed by sharp weapons the Central Plains produced, and the rest just surrendered. Although Gu Xiao Wu was a tea merchant, he was calm as usual in the violent battle. There were countless injuries and casualties, shedding blood everywhere, but Gu Xiao Wu didn't even raise his eyebrows as if the battle was just a game. That chiliarchy was accustomed to battles and dealt with the surrender properly. Two thousand of cavalries withdrew east, with hundreds of defeated soldiers.</div><div><br /></div><div>I rushed into Yuezhi's troop to look for He Shi, but didn't find him. Yuezhi’s general, being captured, was bound tightly to be taken to that chiliarchy. Then that chiliarchy handed the general over to Gu Xiao Wu respectfully. I asked Gu Xiaowu to interrogate the general, but the general was very stubborn and refused to cooperate. Gu Xiaowu said casually: “Now that you don’t confess, what else you can do?” That chiliarchy heard the words and then ordered one to behead the general. The military orders couldn't be disobeyed and the general was immediately killed. A soldier brought the general's head to us by the hair. Blood dripped from his chamber and fell on the green grassland, like a gorgeous flower.</div><div><br /></div><div>I couldn’t bear the bloody scene anymore and plus I hadn't eaten anything all day, I felt a little dizzy. The person next to me looked at my pale face and kindly handed me a water bladder. But I couldn't even drink. Then I saw that another Yuezhi’s soldier was arraigned. Gu Xiao Wu first showed the general's head to that soldier and then asked where He Shi was. Although Yuezhi people were brave and good at war, the man was already depressed after being captured. Plus seeing the dead general, the soldier was frightened and confessed.</div><div><br /></div><div>The soldier said He Shi withdrew as fighting until to the foot of Tian Gen Mountain. They defended against Yuezhi's cavalry by the mountain until they ran out of arrows. But Yuezhi people did not kill them immediately, instead, that general took their horses away and forced He Shi and others into the wild place of Tian Gen Mountain. Yuezhi people were really vicious – there were groups of wolves in the mountain. He Shi had neither horses nor arrows. It would be very dangerous if He Shi met wolves.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>(Original Translation from WWW。wangmamaread。com)</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2021/02/eastern-palace-chapter-26.html"><Chapter 26</a><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2021/02/eastern-palace-chapter-28.html">Chapter 28></a></span></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-35303566761834173302021-02-25T17:57:00.014-05:002021-02-25T19:48:03.277-05:00东宫 Eastern Palace: Chapter 28<p>We hurriedly led the cavalry to search for He Shi. While I was worried to death, Gu Xiao Wu said: "Tujue people die hard." Originally, I thought his remark was a comfort to me, but it made me annoyed.</p><p>We looked for He Shi around Tian Gen mountain till the sun was about to set. I was almost desperate. When would we find He Shi since the mountain was huge? I hoped He Shi was not eaten by wolves, otherwise, grandfather's heart would be broken. Meanwhile, I was wondering He Shi was a well-known warrior on the grasslands who could not be eaten easily even if he had no horses or arrows. He would survive.</p><p>While the sun was about to set and the wind blew cold at night, the scout at the front of the line suddenly shouted loudly, which made me rein the horse. I asked: "What's up?" Those cavalries shouted in Central Plains Mandarin and I saw He Shi climbing out of the rocks with one sharp-edged stone in his left hand and some blood on his right arm. There were several people behind him, who had climbed up and stood on the rocks. Although they looked embarrassed with faces covered with dust, they stared at the cavalry of the Central Plains fearlessly still like warriors.</p><p>Screaming and dismounting, I rolled and crawled all the way to He Shi and embraced him. I might have touched his wound that made him frowned. However, he grinned at once: "Hello, my little Crown Princess!" Everyone was jubilant including the cavalry of the Central Plains who felt happier than winning a battle in the morning.</p><p>We camped at the foot of Tian Gen mountain in the evening. People from the Central Plains didn't take many tents, but they gave them to the injured. He Shi's right arm was fractured, so the chiliarch asked someone to cover He Shi's wound with traditional Chinese herbs, but He Shi didn't even make a sound. After finding He Shi, I felt relieved and wolfed down a crusty pancake. Gu Xiao Wu sat opposite to me and looked at me while I was eating, which made me choke on the last bite. Seeing I was choked, Gu Xiao Wu laughed without giving me a cup of water.</p><p>I found my water pocket with an effort and took a mouthful of water to swallow that pancake. I didn’t make a fuss with him because I had something to ask him, "How on earth did you persuade the protectorate to send cavalry last night at Grand Protectorate General to Pacify the West?" Gu Xiao Wu grinned and showed his white teeth, "I told him that if he refused my request, there would be no quality tea for him." "I believe what you had said – No!"</p><p>Looking up into the sky, I found the stars were bright and resembled innumerable storm lanterns that were thin and shining from afar. There was a faint white band in the middle, which was a river of stars. According to the legend, it was the place where gods bathed. While bathing, gods scooped up stars by hand, which was like we picked up sand, and thousands of stars leaked through the fingers of the gods and went back to the Milky Way. Occasionally, one star splashed out and became a meteor. Just then, there was a twinkling meteor, flying across the sky like a bright arrow and disappearing in a flash. "Oh," I shouted. It was said that knotted the lace and made a wish after seeing the meteor, your wish would come true. However, I was so awkward that I either forgot to make a wish or to tie a lace every time I saw a meteor… I lay on the grass annoyedly and the meteors had long disappeared. Gu Xiao Wu asked me, "Why did you shout?" "There was a meteor flying by!" "Is a meteor so strange?" "Knot the lace and make a wish after seeing the meteor, your wish would come true," I was not in the mood to tell him about that. "You people from the Central Plains don't understand it." He seemed to laugh, "What are you going to wish for?" I buttoned my lip and didn't answer. I was not so impatient. But I didn’t expect that after a short pause, he then said in a prolonged tone, "Oh, I know, you wished to marry the Crown Prince of Central Plains." I was so mad that I almost jumped from my feet, "What is good about the Crown Prince of Central Plains? I will never marry him!" He continued with a smile, "I know you are not willing to marry him, of course, you should wish to marry me." I realized that I was trapped into a trick of him, then I gave out a "pooh" and stopped talking to him.</p><p>I lay back on the grass and looked at the stars. Low in the sky, they were so close to me that I could touch them with your hands. There were so many stars in the place where the gods lived, it must be very lively and full of vigor.</p><p>A small cricket jumped into my hair, entangled in it while still chirping there. I held it by hand and slowly untied the hair from it. It was struggling in my palms, making me feel itchy; then I blew at it, it jumped into the grass and disappeared. But it didn’t leave here as I heard it kept chirping in the dark.</p><p>Gu Xiao Wu also lay down and rested on his saddle. I thought he was asleep, but then he said lazily with his eyes closed, “Hey! Sing a song for me.” The night wind was really soft, just like my mother's hand touching my face gently. I was in a good mood, but I was used to going against Gu Xiao Wu, “Why should I sing? How about you sing a song for me?” “I can’t sing.” “Liar, everyone can sing. Just sing! Sing the song that your mother sang to you when you were young, okay? ” Gu Xiao Wu remained silent for a long time. Finally, I heard his faint voice, “I grew up without a mother. ” I felt a little apologetic, as I had a brother who also had no mother. His mother died of illness very early, so my mother treated him better than me. But I knew in my heart that it was because he led a life without mother since childhood, so my mother took special care of him. I got up and peeked at Gu Xiao Wu’s face as I was worried that he was not happy. But the starlight was dim, I couldn't figure out his expression at all. “A fox sits on a sand dune, it sits on a sand dune looking to the moon. Oh, it turned out that it was not looking the moon, but waiting for the shepherd girl to return…” I hummed like a cricket, “A fox sits on a sand dune, it sits on a sand dune basking in the sun… Oh… it turned out that it was not basking in the sun, but waiting for the girl to ride by on her horse…” Gu Xiao Wu eventually spoke, frowning: “It's too unpleasant! Change another one!” “I only know this song…” Then the sound of Guan rang out not far away. I used to know that He Shi was an outstanding archer, but didn’t expect that he could play Guan so well. He only used one hand, so there were a lot of sound holes that couldn't be pressed, but the melody was still fluctuating and reverberating, especially in such a cool night wind. I listened with my head up. The tone of He Shi’s playing was very sad, and I gradually heard more than ten Turks started to sing together. The men’s voices were sullen and powerful, making the tune even more tragic and desolate. Their voices were like the wind in the desert, the eagle flying over the grassland, hovering and resounding in the deepest place on and on. The heavens and the earth were so quiet that even the bugs in the grass ceased chirping, the horses stopped humming, the Central Plains people quit talking and all listened attentively to their chorus.</p><p>I was obsessed for a while until those Turks finished the song and started to laugh and taunt again. Gu Xiao Wu casually asked: “What song is this?” "It's the battle song of Turks. ” I thought about it, “The song that those warriors often sing before going out to battle. Sang Ge in the song is Tujue’s famous beauty. Her lover left her to join the army and never returned. But his horse came back. So she held the saddle, looking at the arrows that her lover had not used up, singing the song. He said with a smile: “Why did he go in the army?” “He is a warrior fighting for Tujue – he had to do that.” I gave him a fierce glare: “You don’t understand anyway.” He said: “Of course I understand. 'The bleaching bones scattered in the valley of the Wuding River are men still living in the fond dreams of their wives¹’, written by a poet from the Central Plains, is actually a story expressing the same meaning as this.” I was elated when I heard there was a story, so I nagged Gu Xiao Wu to tell me that story. Unable to turn me away, he thought for a while and said, “Okay, I can tell you the story, but you can’t ask why. As long as you ask, I will stop.” Although this was a harsh term, it was not difficult for me to hold back the word “why”. I immediately nodded in agreement. But Gu Xiao Wu hesitated. After thinking for a moment, he said: “A long time ago, in a country called Zixu, there was a young girl…” “Was she a beauty? Was she good-looking?” I couldn’t wait to ask, “Could she ride?” He smiled: “She was a great beauty who could ride. The girl always wore a weimao², a hat with a veil, when she rode. One day the girl was riding on her horse in the street, but her weimao blew away… A boy picked up her weimao and returned it to her. Although they met for the first time, they fell in love and promised to marry.” I liked the beginning of this story. I asked: “Was the boy handsome? Was he worthy of the beautiful girl?” He said: “I don’t know if he was handsome, but he was the son of a general. He was very brave and skillful in warfare. After the couple promised to stay together forever, the boy received an order to go out to battle, so he led troops to fight against enemies.</p><p>“The girl waited for the boy at home for many years, but he did not return. The girl’s family advised the girl to marry someone else. After all, older a girl was, more difficult for her to find a match. But the girl refused, and insisted on waiting for the boy. Finally, word came that the boy died on the battlefield.” He stopped here. I hurriedly asked, “So what about the girl? She knew that the boy was dead, what would she do next?” “The girl was very sad, but she was also very confused. The boy was a superb martial arts master having a good command of military strategy and tactics. He was out in the battlefield all year round, experiencing numerous wars. How could he be ambushed and easily killed by enemies? The girl shut herself in the house, pondering for ten days and ten nights. She finally made up her mind to find out the truth of the boy's death. But she was a girl having no power. Although some of her relations were officials, they were not powerful enough to help the girl investigate the affair. At this time, the Emperor of Zixu gave an imperial edict selecting imperial concubines. So the girl, a great beauty, volunteered to become the Emperor's concubine. The Emperor was deeply attracted by her docile temperament and incisive mind, and she got a position of eminence in the imperial harem. Then she associated with officials, using their power to investigate the war a few years ago. She wanted to know how on earth the boy died on the battlefield. Later, she got some clues, learning that the boy was not ambushed by the enemy, but was killed by someone on his own side. She followed these clues, wanting to find out the truth, only to find that this matter was related to the Empress. The Empress had been jealous and fearful of the girl for a long time, because she was in the Emperor's favor while she wanted to find out the real cause of the boy's death. If the Emperor knew the truth, the Empress would be deposed.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Translator's Notes:</p><p>1.

Suddenly, the cool and sweet juice exploded over my tongue – it was so delicious. I turned back and asked Shifu: “Hey! Do you want to have some?” I never called him Shifu, because I was simply cheated by him to be his apprentice. At that time, we just met, and I didn't know that his swordsmanship was extraordinary. I was provoked by his words and tried my skill of wielding a sword with him. The one who lost in this competition had to respect the other as Shifu. You could imagine how miserable I was in the competition, and I had no choice but to recognize him as my Shifu. Although he was my Shifu, he often made a lot of despicable things. Therefore, I refused to call him Shifu. Fortunately, he did not feel embarrassed and let me feed him from time to time.</div><div><br /></div><div>Shifu shook his head absently, and he was still talking to the man in a white robe. Occasionally, Shifu also taught me the words written on the books of Central Plains. “Whoever meets Junzi (an ideal man who has noble virtues; it's a Chinese philosophical term) will feel joyful,” or “A noble and modest Junzi resembles a warm jade.” After hearing for many times, I then believed that Junzi only wore a white robe. Shifu also loved to wear a white robe, but how could he be a Junzi? I would rather say he was more like a rogue.</div><div><br /></div><div>Gu Xiao Wu stayed in the city of Western Liang. He lived in Shifu's place for the time being. Shifu arranged his house like all the Central Plains' people did, in a refreshing and clean way, and he did not raise camels.</div><div><br /></div><div>I often went to Shifu's place to play as I used to. Gradually, I was very familiar with Gu Xiao Wu. I heard that he was the young master of the tea house, and most of those who contacted with him were tea merchants from Central Plains. In his room, there were always good tea to drink and delicious foods to eat. Those pastries of Central Plains or other strange gadgets, all attracted me a lot. But what I hated was that Gu Xiao Wu would ask me every time I met him: Ninth princess, when will you marry me?</div><div><br /></div><div>I felt so annoyed and embarrassed that I finally got irritated. It was all Shifu's fault, as he didn't act like a venerable teacher and stirred up such troubles. Each time, I would respond to him loudly: “I would rather marry the Prince of Central Plains than marry a rogue like you.” He laughed.</div><div><br /></div><div>In fact, in my heart, I didn’t want to marry anyone. Western Liang was so good, why bother marrying in Central Plains?</div><div><br /></div><div>That being said, but the Central Plains’ envoys began to urge my father; while Yuezhi, which sat in the north of Yan Zhi mountain, heard that Central Plains sent an envoy to propose marriage to my father, they also sent an envoy to bring a lot of gifts to Western Liang.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yuezhi was one of the best countries in the Western Region, its people were brave and good at combat, and there were about one hundred thousand warriors in this country. My father did not dare to look down on Yuezhi, so he received Yuezhi's envoy in the palace. I sent a maidservant to eavesdrop on their conversation, and she ran back in a breathless manner and secretly told me that the Yuezhi's envoy also came to propose marriage; furthermore, the groom would be the Great Chanyu of Yuezhi. The Great Chanyu of Yuezhi was already fifty years old this year, and his main Yanzhi (the main wife of Chanyu) was originally the Crown Princess of Tujue (a nationality in ancient China), who was also my mother's elder sister. Unfortunately, the main Yanzhi was dead the year before, but the Great Chanyu hadn't picked one from his numerous Yanzhi (the concubine of Chanyu) to be the main Yanzhi, as they came from different tribes and had incessant disputes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now Yuezhi heard that Central Plains sent an envoy to propose marriage, so they sent an envoy to my father too, asking me to be the main Yanzhi.</div><div><br /></div><div>My mother was quite angry with this proposal, and I was angry too. The Great Chanyu of Yuezhi was obviously my uncle, and his beard even became gray, but he still wanted to marry me as his main Yanzhi. I would never marry an old man. My father was not willing to offend Central Plains, nor would he offend Yuezhi, so he had no choice but to postpone this thing. However, the two envoys both lived in the city, and it was difficult to avoid their proposals completely. Therefore, I made up my mind to sneak out to my grandfather's.</div><div><br /></div><div>Every autumn, Tujue’s notabilities would hunt in the pastures at the other side of Tian Gen mountain. People in Central Plains called this event as "Autumn Hunt". My grandfather would always send someone to pick me up around this event. Especially these two years, his health condition was not good, so I would be taken to him every year. He once said to me, “Seeing you is like seeing your mother, I am so happy.” According to Tujue’s traditions, the daughter who has married cannot go to her direct parents' home, unless she is abandoned by her husband and parents-in-law. So every time my mother was also happy to send me to visit my grandpa and her relatives in Tujue.</div><div>I secretly told my mother about this plan. She didn’t want me to marry to Central Plains, neither to marry Yuezhi, so she prepared the water and dry food for me without father's knowledge. As my father was not in the city, I slipped away.</div><div><br /></div><div>I rode the little red horse, running towards Tian Gen mountain.</div><div><br /></div><div>The city was surrounded by mountains on three sides. The Yan Zhi mountain extended from the west to the north, the towering mountain resembling a dragon, or a giant's arms embracing the city. The mountain blocked the wind and the cold, making the city at its foot a warm oasis. The Tian Gen mountain was in the east. It was a lonely mountain like the screen sold by the merchants from Central Plains, standing tall in the clouds with its peak covered in snow. It was said that no one could climb all the way up this mountain. Bypassing it was a boundless and beautiful grassland, which was mother's hometown.</div><div><br /></div><div>Before leaving the city, I left a note to Shifu. Shifu had been very busy recently, and since Gu Xiao Wu came here, I had never seen Shifu. I thought if I went to Tujue, I would have to be back after the winter. So I left a note to remind him to feed A’Ma and A’Xia in his backyard. A’Ma and A’Xia were two little gerbils that I accidentally caught. Father didn’t allow me to raise gerbils in my own room, so I turned to Shifu.</div><div><br /></div><div>Taking advantage of the cool weather, I followed behind a caravan leaving the city at night. The caravan rode to the west, while I turned to the east.</div><div><br /></div><div>The desert at night was really quiet. The black-velvet-like sky was so low that it seemed I could touch the stars. They were big and bright, low in the sky. I was reminded of the cool dew on the grape leaves.</div><div><br /></div><div>I crossed large sand dunes and saw the sparse needlegrass to confirm that I did not go the wrong way. I followed this route almost every year, but at that time there was always cavalry sent by my grandfather to protect me. Today I was alone. The little red horse ran briskly in the direction of the big dipper. I began to consider that after seeing my grandfather, I would ask him to let the slaves catch a bird that could sing for me.</div><div><br /></div><div>When the sky was turning bright, I felt very sleepy. The red sun would be coming out soon, and the sky in the east began to glow in the light purple. The stars had disappeared, and the blue-gray sky revealed a kind of white, reminiscent of the sheepskins that had just been peeled off by the slaves who turned over the steaming skins, which steamed half of the sky up turning into the early morning mist. I knew that I had to find a place to rest – the sun in the afternoon could kill me, and it was not a good time to hurry on with my journey.</div><div><br /></div><div>After walking across a shallow river, I found a shady hill, so I rolled out of my saddle upon the ground and let the horse go to eat grass. I slept with a dry food being my pillow. I had been sleeping until the dusk fell. The sun shone in my face, making me feel very uncomfortable, and then I woke up.</div><div><br /></div><div>I took the dry food from my package and ate some. Then I drank half a bag of water and filled the bag with water again before I whistled.</div><div><br /></div><div>In a short while, I heard the sound of the little red horse's hooves. It happily rushed toward me and snorted. It stopped beside me and kissed my hand intimately. I touched its mane: “Are you full up?” Unfortunately, it couldn’t talk, but it looked at me with his eyes. I saw myself reflected in its warm, big eyes. I patted it on the belly and it suddenly hummed uncomfortably.</div><div><br /></div><div>I felt a bit strange as the little red horse kept digging the grassland. It seemed very uneasy – were there wolves nearby?</div><div><br /></div><div>The wolves from prairie were the most dangerous. They flocked in groups and dared to fight against the monkeys. A shepherd living alone would also be attacked. But now it was autumn, a season with plenty of water and lush grass. There were now yellow sheep and hares everywhere, so the wolves had plenty of foods. At this time they were usually hidden in Tian Gen mountain and should not be seen here.</div><div><br /></div><div>But there must be a reason for the little red horse being so irritating. I mounted a horse and ran forward to the foot of Tian Gen mountain. To see the junction of Tujue and Western Liang, one had to turn around the mountain foot. Mom had sent a servant to give a letter to grandfather, and someone would pick me up there. It was safer to go to a place where there were people.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>After a horse ride for several miles, I heard some clop. I stood on the horseback and looked into the distance. A line of black and grey could be dimly seen, which seemed to be a large number of people. Were they sent by my father to chase me? I couldn't see their flags clearly due to the long distance. Anxiety drove me to ride towards Tian Gen Mountain. If I rushed into Tujue's territory and encountered grandfather's men, it would be hard for my father to take me back.</div><div><br /></div><div>The cavalry in pursuit was getting closer. My little red horse was like an arrow shot from a bow, running fast on the vast grassland. Although it could run a long distance, there was nowhere to hide, sooner or later I would be caught.</div><div><br /></div><div>I kept looking back at the cavalrymen as they got increasingly closer. There were nearly one thousand cavalrymen. Such huge calvary was astonishing on the grasslands, even my father wouldn't send a troop like this indeliberately. If they were sent to chase me up, it would be a fuss over me. I wondered where the cavalry came from while riding the horse.</div><div><br /></div><div>It didn't take me long to ride to the foot of Tian Gen mountain. I saw some black dots in the distance and heard the long, familiar and cordial pastoral song sung by people in Tujue. They must be sent by Aweng to pick me up, thus I drove my red horse to run even faster. When those Tujue' men saw me, they stood on the horseback and waved their hands warmly towards me.</div><div><br /></div><div>I waved my hands back strongly. They must have seen the cavalry behind me. As getting near, I saw Tujue's white gonfalon with a long tail fluttering in the wind at dusk, just like a fish swimming in the water. I knew the man who was holding the flagpole, he was the most popular archer in grandfather's army, He Shi. Seeing a mass of cavalrymen caught up, He Shi put the flagpole into the rocks and took off the bow on his back.</div><div>I saw clearly on the galloping horse and shouted, "I don't know who they are. They are chasing me all the way, but I want to figure out where they come from."</div><div><br /></div><div>My horse slowly stopped about 30 meters behind He Shi's horse. The arrow bunch in the archers' hands behind He Shi flickered blue light under the setting sun. They surrounded me with the horses while aiming at the cavalry. He Shi smiled and greeted me happily, "Hello, little princess." I was not the Crown Princess in Tujue, but because of my mother, Neng Gan in the great Chanyu's army started to call me this way since I was very young. Seeing He Shi made me relieved, and even forgot hundreds of cavalrymen chasing after. I replied in great joy, "Hello, He Shi." The cavalry was getting close enough, making the earth shake and the clop filled up my ears. He Shi felt excited and said, "Is such a huge cavalry coming to fight with us?" He Shi talked to me while preparing to shoot. Tujue's white flag was flapping in the air. Everyone in the tribe on the grasslands knew Tieergeda's (the great Chanyu) people were somewhere around when they saw the white flag. Anyone who fought with Tujue's warriors would be killed, and people in their tribe would be executed. Their cows and sheep would be rob away. Everyone showed their respect to the white flag outside Yumen Gate.</div><div><br /></div><div>It seemed that the cavalry didn't see the white flag and continued rushing towards He Shi' troop. The golden light of the setting sun shone on their armor and reflected in cyan. I took a deep breath suddenly.</div><div><br /></div><div>This was Yuezhi’s cavalry, their light armor, saddle, and helmet… Although there was no flag, I still could recognize it Yuezhi's cavalry. Though I had not been to Yuezhi, when I went to Protectorate General to Pacify the West, I saw Yuezhi's cavalry training. They had good horses, bright armors, elastic bows, and sharp arrows. What's more, their knights were brave and good at fighting.</div><div><br /></div><div>He Shi also found it. He looked back at me and said: “Princess, first go east and bypass the Bin Li river. The Chanyu’s tent is in the east of the river.”</div><div><br /></div><div>I spoke loudly, “If the fight is inevitable, I would fight. I won’t run away alone.”</div><div><br /></div><div>He Shi seemed to admire my words and nodded, then he gave me his own machete. I took the machete, with lots of sweat in my hands. I knew what a good cavalry Yuezhi's was. What’s more, there were so many people marching over here. Though He Shi was the greatest archer, we, dozens of people, couldn't resist them, no matter how hard we tried.</div><div><br /></div><div>Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, I even couldn’t hold the saber. Although I thought I was as good as my brothers since I was a child, to be honest, it was the first time for me to fight in a battle.</div><div><br /></div><div>The white gonfalon was behind us, rustling. At the end of the prairie, the sun went down slowly, and the grass was undulated by the wind, just like the sand in the desert.</div><div><br /></div><div>The temperature suddenly became colder. I blinked because sweat drip down into the corner of my eye and it made me very uncomfortable.</div><div><br /></div><div>The cavalry saw the white gonfalon and then slowed down gradually. They took up position and approached gradually. He Shi loudly said: “He Shi is here. You have stepped into the grassland of Tujue. Would you want to start an undeclared war?” He Shi was a famous archer in the land and the meaning of his name, He Shi, is the arrow. It was said that if he wanted to shoot the left eye of the geese in the sky, he would never shoot the right eye wrongly. So the Great Chanyu specially trusted him.</div><div><br /></div><div>As expected, those people heard He Shi's name and were shocked. Then one person rode out from a row and said something. I didn’t know Yuezhi’s language, so He Shi translated it for me. That person said that they were running after a lost slave. As for another aspect that they were in Tujue, they said it was at the foot of Tian Gen mountain. The place was actually the boundary among Yuezhi, Tujue, and Xiliang, where was not controlled by all three sides. If He Shi said it was the territory of Tujue, it was not persuasive.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Lost a slave?" I repeated the words inexplicably. Their general pointed me with his horsewhip and said some words.</div><div><br /></div><div>He Shi seemed to be angry for what the general said. He said in a loud voice: "That man should say you're their lost slave."</div><div><br /></div><div>I became angry as well, and said as drawing my machetes out: “Nonsense!”</div><div><br /></div><div>He Shi nodded: "It is just their excuse."</div><div><br /></div><div>That Yuezhi's general started saying again. I asked He Shi: "What is he talking about?"</div><div><br /></div><div>He Shi said: "He said, if we don't hand you over, he will lead the cavalry to catch you. Once we start a battle with Yuezhi because of our hiding Yuezhi's slave, we will have no excuse."</div><div><br /></div><div>I was so angry that I laughed out inversely, “It is he that behaves so rudely. Now, he dares to say that we have no excuse?”</div><div><br /></div><div>He Shi said in a deep voice: "You are right, little princess. But there are so many people coming for you…" He said to me, "Little princess, go east to the Chanyu’s tent and take reinforcements here. Yuezhi is so arrogant and rude, and if we cannot stop them, you must report it to Chanyu in case of that they plot to attack Chanyu."</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, He Shi still persuaded me to withdraw first. Frightened as I was, I straightened my chest and exclaimed: "Send another one to report it. I won't go!"</div><div><br /></div><div>He Shi said softly: "If princess stays here, I cannot send more people to protect you."</div><div><br /></div><div>Thinking over what he said, I understood that if I insisted on staying here, I would only drag them down. Although I was also good at archery, I had never practiced it in a real battle. However, all people here, except for me, were experienced warriors of Tujue.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>(Original Translation from WWW。wangmamaread。com)</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2018/10/eastern-palace-chapter-25.html"><Chapter 25</a><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span> </span><span><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2021/02/eastern-palace-chapter-27.html">Chapter 27></a></span></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-70434237895993067602021-01-19T20:09:00.007-05:002021-01-20T11:57:39.506-05:00 东宫 Eastern Palace: Full of Roses with Fragrance Overflowing the Entire Courtyard (Part 3)<span style="background-color: white;">I felt very sad, and my illness was getting worse and worse. My mother and sister-in-law entered the palace to see me. I forced myself to talk and laugh with them. My mother dismissed the servants, and then quietly said to me, "You don't have to worry about Shan Niang. Which man does not like beautiful women? Besides, she is now a widow and an inauspicious person, so His Majesty would not have any affections for her. "</span><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />My body was weak and my clothes were soaked in sweat. I was too lazy to talk and my mother was talking nonstop, trying to advise me, but her voice seemed close yet far. Before, there was only a tree trunk outside, but now it has grown into a tree with peaches. I am very thirsty and I just wanted to drink a cup of ice water. Although there is ice in the palace, since I am sick, A'Mu forbids me to drink ice water. </span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">When I thought of A'Mu, I felt there was a fire burning my heart and internal organs, and it felt very uncomfortable. My mother noticed something was wrong, she reached out to hold my hand and was shocked, "What happened to you? Your face is so red; are you having a fever again?"</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />I just felt very annoyed, what does Shan Niang have to do with me? As soon as she came back, even my mother came to persuade me to be more open-minded. Everyone thinks that A'Mu likes Shan Niang, and even if I felt unhappy, I could only bear with it. I've been married to A'Mu for ten years, but I can't make up for the days that Shan Niang has been here.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />I send off my mother and sister-in-law. The sun was going to set and every day at this time, I would have a high fever, so for dinner I had a light meal. After drinking a bowl of corn soup, and knowing that I have to drink a big bowl of bitter medicine afterwards, I felt even more sick. At this time Yao Niang came inside and her expression did not look good. I couldn't help but ask her, "What happened?"</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />Yao Niang had repeatedly said that nothing was wrong. I thought of my mother and sister-in-law who had came here today. I thought maybe they were trying to hide something from me, so I dismissed Yao Niang and called A'Chan to come in for questioning. A'Chan was timid so as soon as I asked her, she knelt down and sobbed while saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I don't dare to tell you. Yao Niang has said whoever dares to tell Your Highness, they will be beaten to death."</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />Although Yao Niang was very strict and all the palace maids were afraid of her, she would not say anything like beating someone to death. My heart leaped, but I pretended to be calm and asked, "Even if you don't tell me, do you think I won't beat you to death?"</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />I would never say such words. Through the copper mirror, I could see my own face. I've been ill for so long that my face was so thin and it was quite frightening. A'Chan was obviously afraid of me as she was stuttering.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />It turns out that A'Mu took Yuan Shan to the Wangxian Palace that was outside the city. That palace was the closest temporary imperial residence to the city, so it was convenient for the royal family to go hunting. In the past, I used to go there with A'Mu. Right now it was already very late and he still hasn't come back yet. It was obvious that he was going to stay there for the night.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />I didn't know how I felt about this, but I stood up and called out A'Yu in a loud voice. She didn't come in, but Yao Niang came instead. She quickly opened the curtain and bowed to me, "Your Highness, what do you need?"</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />Yao Niang doesn't usually address me this way and I could hear from her tone of voice that she was reminding me of my identity, but I could not bear this anymore. I said in a loud voice, "Bring my clothes, I am going out of the city."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Yao Niang raised her voice, "Your Highness, it's already late."</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />"I am the Empress." Even in extreme anger, I have not forgotten my privilege. "Bring the seal and send my order to General Chen to open the Jiade Gate."</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>Yao Niang still wanted to say something, but I called out to A'Yu, who was like a small bird bumping into the curtain as she entered while holding my clothes in her hands. Yao Niang fiercely glared at her. A'Yu was never afraid her because A'Yu was someone who would act willfully with me since childhood. She hurriedly helped me change my clothes. Yao Niang knelt down and tried to dissuade me. She cried as she talked, as if going out of the city at night would be a rebellious act. I clenched my teeth and ordered the palace maids beside me, "Look after Yao Niang and don't let her say anything she's not supposed to say."</div><div>
<br />The palace maids were already so scared that their complexions have changed. As soon as I said this, they immediately took Yao Niang away.<br />
<br />I took the seal out of my makeup box. As I held the cold seal in my hand, I could feel the golden carved words on the seal as if it was implanted on my palm. When I left my palace, there was a carriage already prepared below the stairs. Before I arrived at the Jiade Gate, General Chen had already rushed over. He bowed to me and I handed the seal to A'Yu, who passed it over to General Chen. He examined the seal, but hesitated for a moment, and said to me, "Why must Your Highness leave the palace at this time?"</div><div>
<br />I revealed a bright smile and said, "His Majesty is staying in Wangxian Palace today. I want to go there and surprise him."<br />
<br />General Chen was someone from my father's generation. Ever since A'Mu was a child, he was already the general of the army. He has watched A'Mu and I grow up so that is why he would hesitate for a moment when he saw this situation. Seeing that I had only brought a few palace maids, he said, "It is cold at night and it is a remote place. I shall send some people to escort Your Highness."<br />
<br />I knew he was not at ease. The position of general was only given to a cautious person. General Chen, who has been in this position for decades, was trusted by both the late Emperor and A'Mu. However, I am going there to catch an adulterous act, not plotting a rebellion, so how can I reject to this? I smiled and said, "Very well then."<br />
<br />General Chen sent Deputy General Guo to send me off. He set up two groups of army. The horses were very fast as if we are going to the Wangxian Palace at the speed of lightning. Not long after, we arrived at the Wangxian Palace gate. Because A'Mu was here, the army was stationed. Someone from the palace gate called out and General Guo was about to answer, but I raised my voice and asked, "Is the person speaking General Wei?"</div><div><br />When General Wei heard my voice, he was startled. He immediately ordered someone to light up the torches. The torches near me were bright and he could see me clearly from the palace gate. He hurriedly ordered people to open the palace gate and lead a group of people to greet me.</div><div>
<br />I said to him, "Don’t disturb His Majesty. I will go to his palace residence myself."<br />
<br />The large group of people stayed outside the palace gate. The deep palace was made of layers of walls. I passed by some palace residences and tall palace gates. Gradually, the noise outside the palace gate became more and more distant and quiet until only the sound of blowing wind and insects chirping in the grass could be heard.</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't get off my carriage until we arrived in front of the palace hall. A'Yu held my hand as I got off the carriage. I felt quite calm. This high platform surrounded by water was called Qingfeng Pavilion. All four sides have windows. A'Mu was afraid of heat and often lived here when he comes to the Wangxian Palace. I remember living here with him last autumn, back when the moon was like frost, and the reed flowers were like snow. When one or two fireflies flew into the pavilion, A'Mu caught them for me and put them in a glass bottle. Those little flying insects in the blue glass bottle were wonderful as their lights flickered inside and bumped into the bottle walls. But they could not fly out and eventually, they looked very pitiful. I blew out the candles, opened the lid, and released them inside the tent.<br />
<br />The lights of the fireflies were like shooting stars as some fell on the tent while some landed on A'Mu's shoulder. I put my head on his knee and watched the moonlight shining in the window. Some fireflies had landed on my sleeve, but I couldn't bear to catch them with my hands. I don't know why there were no fireflies in the palace. Some people say that the water of the Taiye Pond does not produce fireflies; others say that there were no fireflies because there was no grass; and some say that the late Emperor did not like these insects, so there were no fireflies within the palace.<br />
<br />At that time, I was still curious and asked A'Mu why there were no fireflies in the palace. As for today, I am only glad that it was the late spring and there were no fireflies by the water. If there were, I wouldn't know how I would be able to endure this.</div><div> </div><div>I hesitated before turning around and saw that A'Yu had already led a group of people to block the eunuch, who was standing in front of the palace hall. I pointed at that eunuch and asked, "Is His Majesty sleeping?"</div><div> <br />That eunuch didn't expect me to come here late at night, so he was very frightened and said, "His Majesty.....His Majesty..... " </div><div>
<br />I saw that this eunuch was unable to say it, so I pointed to another eunuch and asked, "Where is Shan Niang? Where is she?"<br />
<br />That person could only kowtow and I suddenly felt a killing intent gushing from my chest. I walked up the steps and kicked the door open. The door slammed open as I walked inside. There were candlelights lit in the main hall, but no one was there. As I walked straight to the left, the curtain hung low. When the two servants of the palace saw me storming in, they were frightened and hurriedly knelt down to pay respect to me. I was so angry that I lifted the curtain and said in a loud voice, "Li Mu, you big liar!"</div><div><br />All the people at the table raised their heads and a few of the people looked at me curiously. I saw A’Mu sitting in the middle, surrounded by his close relatives of the royal family. A’Mu’s uncle, Princess Yong'an, Princess Tai'an, Prince Qi, Prince Qin, Prince Han and even my fourth brother, Pei Ji Chang, were all there. Yuan Shan was also there, but she was sitting beside Princess Tai'an and they whispering to each other.</div><div><br />My face seemed to be burning. A’Mu stood up and asked in surprise, "Why did you come here?" The rest of the people people bowed to me one after another. I didn't expect so many people would be here. I felt dizzy and didn't know what to do. </div><div><br /></div><div>This was too humiliating. I had brought a group of people to catch a couple committing adultery, but who knew it would turn out like this!</div><div>
<br />I saw A’Mu walk towards me, getting closer and closer. My forehead was covered with cold sweat and my heart was in a state of confusion. I didn't know how to explain the situation. As I saw him get closer and closer, I felt so anxious that I fainted and fell to the ground.</div><div><br />When I woke up, the silent wind blew the curtains in the palace hall. I don’t know where those people had went and the palace hall was very quiet. There was a candle burning in the distance, but there was no light nearby. The moonlight shined through the wide window, reflecting on the mat like a silver light. A’Mu knelt down beside me with one hand still holding onto my hand. I felt so angry after thinking about the embarrassing thing that I had just done. I just wanted to close my eyes and keep pretending to sleep. However, A’Mu whispered in a warm voice, calling me, “Shi Liu Niang.”</div><div>
<br />I felt so embarrassed that I did not want to see him, but he pulled me into his embrace. I wanted to push him away, but I couldn’t, so I just let him be. He put his chin on my head and I could feel his warm breath on my forehead. I was angry, but I heard him call me in a low voice, “Shi Liu Niang.”</div><div><br />"What are you doing?" I opened my eyes and asked him in a loud voice. This was a common move I used when I was a child. Seeing me act so straightforward and bold, my father would feel as if he had made a mistake or someone else had wronged his precious daughter. His anger would turn into self doubt, and I would have escaped from getting punished.</div><div><br />A’Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why are you speaking so loudly? It is not like I will eat you up."</div><div>
<br />I feel guilty, so I replied back, “Then what do you want to say, hurry and say it!"</div><div>
<br />A’Mu used another way of asking me, “When you left the city today, did General Chen ask you anything?” </div><div> </div><div>I could feel my face burning. The founder of the current dynasty had won this world on his horse's back. At that time, the Empress accompanied him in war for many years and helped him achieve the world. Many empresses of the current dynasty came from a general's family. Many years later, during a critical moment, it was Empress Shen who had lead the army and saved Emperor Shizong. From that time onwards, if the Emperor was not in the palace, then the Empress has the right to open the palace gate with the seal. It was only a hundred years ago that this rule was established. Although the Empress could nominally lead the armies from Kun'an, Qin'an and Sheng'an, she was only a remote leader and never interfered with the military affairs. Today, I left the palace late at night, which was a shocking thing to do.<br />
<br />I embarrassingly said, "I told General Chen that I wanted to see you."<br />
<br />"What a fool." A'Mu reached out and poked my forehead. "You have been ill and you came all the way here. You could have just sent someone to pass on the message, and I'll go back to see you."<br />
<br />I was too embarrassed to say that I came here to catch an act of adultery, so I could only lower my head and say nothing.<br />
<br />A'Mu was in a good mood and started talking to me about other things. "Shan Niang has some worries, do you know about that?"<br />
<br />As soon as I heard the two words "Shan Niang" I felt that I was going to have a fever again. I even felt a faint pain in my temples. I snorted a few times and tried to get along with it. A'Mu lifted my chin up as he gazed into my eyes and asked, "What do you think Shan Niang is worrying about?"<br />
<br />I was very angry. "She is such an elegant person, how can I guess her worries?"</div><div><br />A'Mu said with a smile, "It is hard to guess women's worries." </div><div>
<br />I lowered my head and said nothing. A'Mu was a very kind person, and he was considerate to everyone. He was different from the late Emperor, who was stern and indifferent. Most of the ministers in court had been afraid of him. However, A'Mu was not the same as he was gentle to others. All the ministers praised him as a benevolent Emperor. He handles matters in an orderly manner, and the ministers did not dare to deceive him because of his kindness. </div><div>
<br />Even I think it's hard to hide something from him at times, such as now.</div><div>
<br />I changed the topic and tried to talk about other things. A'Mu suddenly lowered his head and kissed me on the lips. I became foolish after being kissed by him. I felt dizzy and short of breath, I could hardly breathe. A'Mu suddenly let me go and whispered, "Breathe in!" </div><div>
<br />I gasped for air, almost suffocating. A'Mu patted me on the back and said, "Shan Niang wants to remarry. Do you want to be her matchmaker?" </div><div>
<br />I felt that I have not breathed. It took me a moment before I could understand what he had said. I could not help but feel sad. I pushed him aside and stood up as I said in a loud voice, "Although you are the Emperor, don't bully people too much!" The more I thought about it, the more sad and angry I felt. I kicked A'Mu, but he didn't avoid it. He was kicked on his leg by me. He frowned and I started to cry. As soon as he saw me crying, he said, "You are the sister-in-law of Prince Zhao and the sister-in-law of Prince Qi, how am I bullying you? In the past if Prince Qi offended you because he was not sensible, he was already punished. Why are you still remembering his fault?"</div><div><br />I stared at A’Mu with my eyes wide open. He was very funny as he told me, "Shan Niang wants to marry Prince Qi. If you don't want to be the matchmaker, I'll let my aunt go instead."</div><div><br />Prince Qi? I felt very embarrassed knowing that Prince Qi was there. I had fought with him when I was young, he even gave me a nickname called “Ye Qiang Wei." It was just that he has been in Yizhou for so many years and I have almost forgotten those grudges from the past.</div><div>
<br />I didn't know what to say for a moment. A’Mu rubbed his leg and murmured, "My grandfather said that it's not easy to marry a young lady because you have to wait for ten years for her to grow up. It's easy to grow up, but you still don’t know what she's thinking. This is true."</div><div>
<br />I was so angry that my ears were burning, embarrassed and anxious, I said, "Who taught you to marry!"</div><div>
<br />A’Mu chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, when my grandfather came to ask me, I made the choice to marry. My grandfather sighed and said that a devil will have its own devil, but he didn't refute my intention."</div><div>
<br />I was taken aback when I suddenly heard him say those words, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. A’Mu said with a gentle voice, "Shi Liu Niang, I've been waiting for ten years so you should at least give me an explanation."</div><div>
<br />I felt embarrassed and anxious, “What explanation?”</div><div>
<br />"What's on your mind?" A’Mu said, "Han Zhi has grown a beard, which is not good-looking at all. Look at me, I don't have a beard; do I look better than Prince Qi?"</div><div>
<br />A’Mu rarely asked me solemnly and I could only glance at him. I haven’t seen Prince Qi for many years. When he was at the palace hall, I didn't see what he looked like at all as I just recognized him as Prince Qi by his clothes. I don’t know what to say, so I just nodded.</div><div>
<br />A’Mu was anxious, "What does nodding mean? Is it me or Prince Qi?"</div><div>
<br />I became angry and asked, "What does this have to do with Prince Qi?"</div><div><br />A’Mu said in surprise, "Of course it does! After you beat him up on the street, didn't he send someone to propose the marriage to your father? As soon as I heard that, I immediately asked my father to appoint you as the Crown Princess!”</div><div><br />I don't know that something like this had happened. I didn't expect that I was snatched by A’Mu. However, what did A’Mu mean when he talked about harming Shan Niang? At this thought, I felt confused. A’Mu was still there pulling my sleeve. "Shi Liu Niang, if you don't say it today, I won't allow you to sleep!"</div><div>
<br />I felt very confused. When my eyes turned, I suddenly thought of a plan, so I said, "Go and catch a firefly, then I will tell you."</div><div>
<br />A’Mu began to worry, “In such a season, where can I find fireflies?"</div><div><br />I said happily, "Then I will tell you when you catch it." Anyways, from now till the seventh month, there is still a few months left. When it is around that time, maybe A’Mu will forget about this.</div><div><br />Hearing me say this, A’Mu choked as if he couldn’t believe it. At this time, the wind blew and a tiny light flickered outside the curtain. Suddenly, the light that resembled the stars floated into the room through the bottom of the curtain. It was a firefly, A’Mu was overjoyed, he reached out to catch the firefly and said, "Look! Firefly, now you have to say it.”</div><div><br />I looked at his hand in a hurry. It was indeed a firefly and I didn’t know how there would be fireflies so early. It was flapping its wings, its light flickering, and flying in his palms. I puffed my mouth toward the firefly, with a blow, it flew high and went through the curtain.</div><div>
<br />A’Mu was in a hurry as he stood up, wanting to catch the firefly. I grabbed his sleeve and refused to let him go. A’Mu suddenly turned around with a smile and flicked my earlobe, "Fool!"</div><div>
<br />I covered my ears with a smile and then ran to the corridor.<br />
<br />The long hallway faced the wind and the lake bloomed with lotus flowers, surrounded by the sound of frogs, fireflies flying across the body of water, the bright moon in the sky reflecting on the lake. A'Mu chased after me and grabbed my waist. The night wind blew on our clothes as A'Mu held me tight and I didn't feel cold. He said, "When there are fireflies in the seventh month, you'll have to say it again."</div><div><br />I felt confused as I clearly did not say anything, why did he say to repeat my words?</div><div><br /></div><div>A'Mu was still smiling. There were fireflies flying in the distance, and I felt very anxious, but fortunately A'Mu didn't reach out to catch it. The waves moved in the lake and the scattered moonlight beamed from the sky. I was worried that he would catch another firefly and I hope he would never be able to catch a firefly ever again. <br /></div><div>.................</div><div><br /></div><div>Michelle: Finally a side story that has a happy ending. Even though this is the love story of Li Cheng Yin's son and Shi Liu Niang, but I feel like the author is trying to show what could have been Xiao Feng and Li Cheng Yin's love story if it weren't for the past events. There were suppose to be six side story in total, but one of the side story didn't end up being published. That side story is about Li Cheng Yin's ending, which is about him committing suicide by jumping off the same gate tower where Xiao Feng jumped off from. I also apologize for releasing this very late, but I have been losing sleep and it was kind of hard to balance both translations and real life things. Eastern Palace is my first translation project and it means a lot to me. It is a memorable story that leaves a deep impression to readers. I really want to thank Kri, Sharon and my former editor Nilla for their help. I wouldn't be able to finish it without their help. I also want to thank readers for your patience and support. I have read all your comments, and they were very encouraging. I will see you again in my second project, Heartwarming Decade, which I will update next month.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kri: Even though it wasn't a happy story for Li Cheng Yin and Xiao Feng, I am glad that there was still a happy story tied to this drama. I still think about Eastern Palace and the drama, Goodbye My Princess, because it was so touching and sad for me and left me with many deep feelings. I would like to thank Michelle and everyone else on this team for allowing me to be a part of bring this story to you. Thank you for reading and for your support and patience!</div><div><br /></div><div>Sharon: Although I only came about with helping edit this story near the end, it was quite enjoyable to read the last few chapters before the side stories. The novel's ending was especially sad but I personally liked the drama's ending more, which was both unique and epic, suitable to leave a lasting impression. In the drama's ending, Xiao Feng did more for her country in terms of helping to obtain the promise of peace between her country and the Central Plains country so that future battles would not ensue before suiciding. In the novel's ending, she simply jumped off from a high place again thinking "the love between them two were not meant to be" before ending up dead which had happened earlier before (the jumping off part, not dying) so it was like a repeat. There were times I wished Xiao Feng was a little more stronger in terms of her character, so that there would be less of the self-pity act which was consistent throughout. The author made her character quite weak, it didn't do her enough justice. I was more intrigued by the main story than I was by the extra side stories, which I felt frankly, were not as interesting. But to each reader their own opinions. Overall, it was a nice experience editing and I will try to continue to help out here and there!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-5-part-2.html"><Side Story 5 Part 2</a></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-36447517977563897282021-01-19T20:07:00.012-05:002021-01-20T03:43:39.453-05:00 东宫 Eastern Palace: Full of Roses with Fragrance Overflowing the Entire Courtyard (Part 2)<span style="background-color: white;">Before she would always call me "Shi Liu Niang,” just like how my family did. Listening to her call me "Your Highness" made me feel a bit sad. She sat with her face slightly sideways, and though she did not seem reserved, but I felt that the intimacy and casualness we had before was really gone.</span><div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Lunch was placed in the Hanbi Hall, which was facing towards the Taiye Pond. At this time, new lotus flowers were blooming in the pond. The delicate, yellow lotus leaves were the size of a palm and floated on the glass-like surface of the pond, like the golden dimples on a beauty's cheeks, moving with the wind and waves, as if the dimples were only faintly visible.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I couldn't help but mention about the past, "When Chaoyang invited us to come to the palace to play, several of us sneaked into the Taiye Pool to row, but no one knew how to row a boat. The boat drifted to the middle of the pond and kept circling in the water, but I couldn't move it. Later, an eunuch, who was in charge of the place, had found out and sent a boat to come and row our boat back. I was really worried about being scolded at that time."</span></span></div><div>
<br />The sunlight was shining brightly and the curtain was drawn on the upper floor. The gleaming reflection of waves had shone through the bottom of the curtain, which made Yuan Shan’s face look like white jade. Her eyes reflected the waves of light, like a shining black jewel, <span style="background-color: white;">but once her eyes turned</span>, it seemed that the pair of bright eyes darkened again, although her tone of voice was still very calm, "Thinking about it, this was ten years ago."</div><div>
<span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">At that time, we were still young and did not understand the size of the world. Apparently, this world would have so many worries.</span></span></div><div>
<br />I asked, "How about we steal some cherries?"</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Yuan Shan was stunned, looking at me who was excited. I said, "The biggest cherry tree in the imperial garden is still there." </span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Hearing me say this, Yuan Shan covered her mouth and laughed. Before, when it became late spring, we always picked cherries. Although people in the palace were bestowed with cherries every year, those cherries were not as sweet as the ones I have stolen. Thinking about this would always make me feel very happy. I was thinking of ordering someone to bring me some clothes to change into before going to climb some trees. Suddenly, I heard someone whisper outside the curtain. It seemed as though Yao Niang was talking to someone.</span></div><div><br />I asked, "Who's outside?"</div><div><br />Seeing that she couldn't hide this, she could only come out of the curtain and tell me, "His Majesty has sent people here."</div><div><br />I was stunned and said, "Let him in."</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">A'Mu had sent an eunuch here, who was holding a gold plate filled with the freshest cherries. The eunuch said respectfully, "His Majesty just saw that these cherries were ready to be picked, so he picked some and ordered me to bring these to Your Highness."</span></div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">I looked at the plate of big red cherries and sighed. The eunuch saw that I was unhappy, so he hurriedly took a big step forward and said, "<span>His Majesty also said that today, Your Highness is meeting an old friend, so it is inevitable that you wanted to show off your old skills, but Your Highness should not climb trees again!"</span></span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as it was so embarrassing. Yuan Shan naturally heard it, but her gaze was <span>blank</span> as if she didn't hear anything. I could only give up the idea of stealing cherries. I shared the cherries with Yuan Shan and ordered someone to bring some yogurt.</span></div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">The cherries were very sweet, but I was thinking of something else and only ate <span>absentmindedly</span>. Did A'Mu sent this plate of cherries for me to eat, or were they for Yuan Shan?</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>Usually I would eat a lot of cherries, but today I didn't eat that much, maybe because the yogurt with cherries were too cold and so was the wind upstairs. During the evening I had a stomach ache, and I couldn't even have dinner. An imperial doctor was sent here. After drinking two bowls of bitter medicine, I fell asleep on the table.</span></span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I don't know how long I had slept, but I woke up when I felt someone gently lifting up my hair. As the night was getting dark, there was a candle lit up near the curtain. The shadow of the candle was </span><span>flickering</span><span>. I saw A'Mu's face and he was only wearing a robe. At this time, he held onto me with his arm and asked, "How are you feeling? Do you want to drink some hot water?"</span></span></div><div><br />"What time is it right now?"</div><div><br />A'Mu wanted to order someone to go and check, but I stopped him and asked, "Why are you here?"</div><div>
<br />"I heard you caught a cold, so I came to check on you."</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">I leaned my head on his arm, which made me feel at ease. The night wind was quiet and occasionally, I could hear<span> the sound of the soldiers' armor</span>. I quietly asked him, "Do you still like Shan Niang?"</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />After a long time, he said, "Why are you thinking about this?"</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">"Shan Niang's favorite food is cherries."</span></div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>These were things from the past. Yuan Shan always acted more </span><span>steady</span><span> than I did. Chaoyang and I would always cause trouble, while Yuan Shan always tried to dissuade us. The only time she had caused trouble with us was when we stole cherries.</span></span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>It's stealing, but actually, it was really just picking cherries. However, Chaoyang had asthma and everyone in the palace was always worried about her illness and the moments when she would wear less clothing. It was like facing a big enemy when encountering Ah Jian, the palace maid. Chaoyang didn't like that many people surrounding her and trying to protect her, so on that day, we snuck into the cherry garden with Yuan Shan to pick some cherries while leaving all the servants behind. </span></span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>Cherry trees are carefully pruned for easy picking. We easily climbed up the tree and saw all the cherries that were very red, like countless coral beads hanging under the leaves. I sat on the tree picking and eating the cherries at the same time, and then handed over some of the cherries to Yuan Shan, who was at the bottom of the tree. Chaoyang was so brave that she climbed higher than me. The branches and leaves were </span><span>clustered</span><span> together, so I could only see her silk cloak swaying within the tree branches. She had tucked the end of her skirt</span><span> in her belt and stood on her tiptoes, trying to reach the biggest and reddest cherries.</span></span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />"Be careful!" Yuan Shan raised her head.</span></div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">"Come up, Shan Niang!" Chaoyang picked that bunch of cherries and turned around, climbing the tree with one hand while holding the cherries with her other hand while teasing Yuan Shan.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />I also couldn't stop teasing Shan Niang as well, but she didn't dare to climb up the tree. She just lifted up her skirt with a smile, "You throw it down and I'll catch it!"</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />Chaoyang and I exchanged gazes, quickly picked the cherries and then <span>threw them down the tree</span>.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />Yuan Shan was hit by numerous cherries, which made her feel dizzy. She laughed while trying to dodge the cherries. Finally she could not help but tuck in her skirt and climb up the tree. "Such good fruits, and you are ruining it like this. I will drag you all down!"</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />Chaoyang and I were laughing while looking at a even higher place to climb. At this time, Chaoyang shouted, "Oh, no, it's not good! Palm fan, I can see the palm fan! Father must be coming here!"</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I was fine, but Yuan Shan was flustered. I didn't know how she slipped while Chaoyang and I cried out in the silence. Yuan Shan had no time to react and could only grab some tree branches. She was about to fall on the ground. Suddenly, someone rushed out and grabbed her waist, catching her gently and skillfully.</span></span></div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>I bent down, but I was only able to see Yuan Shan's skirt being blown by the wind, like a beautiful blooming flower. The man's arms seemed to be embracing that delicate flower, holding her in his arms. Yuan Shan was blushing and appeared very shy. The sunlight cast a clear shadow through the tree branches of the cherry tree. I saw her drooping eyes, and her thick long eyelashes cast a faint </span><span>shadow</span><span> under the sunlight, which resembled a frightened butterfly. I never noticed that her eyelashes were that long.</span></span></div><div><br />A'Mu placed Yuan Shan down. I saw the high palm fan; it was His Majesty who had came.</div><div>
<br />I climbed down the tree in great confusion.</div><div>
<br />Although His Majesty dotes on Chaoyang, he was always very serious. Yuan Shan and I were very afraid of him, especially now that we are in trouble again. Yuan Shan and I bowed to pay respect and only Chaoyang still sat on the tree as if nothing had happened, calling out, "Father."</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">"Who taught you to climb trees?" His Majesty's voice was plain and indifferent, but both Yuan Shan and I could hear the <span>reproach in his voice.</span> I saw her skirt trembling slightly when I glanced at her. His Majesty was a moody person and harsh to his officials. No one in the palace was not afraid of him.</span></div><div><br />Only Chaoyang had no fear as she said with a smile, "It was my older brother who had taught me to climb trees!"</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">"That was when you were young; you shouldn't climb trees now that you have grown up." A'Mu gave her a <span>warning glare</span>: "You are still not coming down?"</span></div><div>
<br />Chaoyang cutely said, "I also want to jump down, brother catch me."</div><div><br />"Nonsense," A'Mu said. "What if I can't catch you?"</div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>"Brother is so biased!" Chaoyang pouted, "Brother is grown up and knows how to like beautiful ladies now, catching Shan Niang but not me."</span></span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>Yuan Shan blushed, even A'Mu's face seemed to have turned red. I looked at A'Mu and Yuan Shan. They were standing under the cherry tree; one had a slender body, while the other was as graceful as a butterfly. They looked like a matching couple.</span></span></div><div><br />From then on, I knew that A'Mu liked Yuan Shan.</div><div>
<br />It was a pity that the late Emperor did not fulfill their wish.</div><div>
<br />"Everyone has regrets, even the Emperor."</div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>A'Mu's voice was quiet. When he said this,</span><span> the shadow of the candle was reflected on the side of his face</span><span>. I could feel the distance between us, but I couldn't reach out to </span><span>grasp him</span><span>. I just felt that the night was as cold as water, so I couldn't help pulling up the quilt.</span></span></div><div>
<br />"That's what my father said to me." A'Mu did not look at me, but gazed at the flickering halo on the candlelight. "Before you were bestowed with the title of Crown Princess, Father told me a lot things."</div><div>
<br />"He said I am the Crown Prince who will become the Emperor in the future. You will have many women in the six palaces, but if you have someone in your heart, then it would be different. If you like someone, then I would advise you to treat her who<span style="background-color: white;">leheartedly, and don't hurt her heart.<span> A person's broken heart can not be repaired. If you have her in your heart, but she feels heartbroken, then you will feel the same. </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">At that time, I didn't understand the meaning behind his words. As you know, my father didn't have any favoured concubine, and he had very few concubines. I didn't ask him about his past, but whether a man is sad or not, I could always tell. I asked him what to do if the person in your heart did not like you. But he said nothing can be done. Even if you are the Emperor, if she doesn't like you, you can't do anything about it.”</span></div><div>
<br />A'Mu lowered his head. I don't know how I feel at this moment. A'Mu likes Shan Niang, I know it, but I didn't know whether Shan Niang likes A'Mu. If Shan Niang doesn't like A'Mu, then there's really nothing he can do about it.</div><div>
<br />A'Mu suddenly asked me, "What would you do if someone you like doesn't like you?"</div><div><br />I answered without thinking, "Of course I'll use all methods, such as being naughty, kidnapping, or even pestering him, to make him like me!"</div><div>
<br />A'Mu was obviously surprised. He turned away and said, "Such childish words."</div><div>
<br />I could not accept this. A'Mu was older than me by a few years, and because Chaoyang and I were good friends in the past, he would always treat me like a child. Ten years of being a married couple, and he had often acted like he was an older brother rather than a husband.</div><div><br />But he will never know that even children will have their own worries.</div><div>
<br />I will never tell him what's on my mind.</div><div> <br />The curtain was slightly moved by the night wind and the reflection of the candlelight in the water slowly dispersed. I thought of my younger self. The things that happened at the time seemed like it was separated by the whole Taiye Pond, including the faint fragrance of the misty water, the wind, dew of lotus flowers, the bright moonlight, and the crystal curtain being blown by the wind. It was the cherry rolling around at the bottom of the cup and A'Mu's finger that flicked my forehead as he jokingly said, "If you can't get married, then be my Crown Princess, no one will dare to say bad things to you."</div><div>
<br />At that time, I was only thinking of refuting A'Mu in a loud voice, "Who said I couldn't get married? I will marry a handsome young man like Han Zhi!"</div><div>
<br />In the end, I was married to A’Mu. No one laughed at me again and only I was laughing at myself.</div><div>
<br />"It's late at night, go to sleep,” A’Mu said softly, patting me on the back. I lay back on the pillow and closed my eyes.</div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>Actually if I liked someone, but that person does not like me, I would be too embarrassed to pester him. Usually people that speak with strong words are usually the most cowardly. No matter how you pester </span>or trick them, that person will still not like you back.</span></div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">At dawn, I had a nightmare, and it was A’Mu who woke me up. I was out of breath from crying, but he took me in his arms and comforted me, "Older brother is here, Shi Liu Niang, older brother is here."</span></div><div>
<br />I choked up: "No........"</div><div>
<br />My older brother had died in the battle against Goryeo. It was a great victory for our country, but for my family, it was a great tragedy.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Although I have many older brothers, I am closest with my second brother. I followed him since I was a child, </span><span>calling him “Brother" in a childish voice. But when I grew up, he got a position in the palace and accompanying the Crown Prince with his studies.</span><span> Fortunately, I was able to enter the palace as much as I wanted just to see him.</span></span></div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">When I was a child, I was not sensible like Chaoyang. I called both my second older brother and A’Mu "brother." Chaoyang called my second older brother "brother” out of kindness. I called A’Mu “brother,” which was not allowed, but no one has ever corrected me, because most adults couldn’t bear to treat an innocent child like that. It was not until I grew up and became a sensible person that I no longer called A’Mu brother.</span></div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Although it was A’Mu who was leading the army in title during the war against Goryeo, my brother lead the army as the military governor and died on the battlefield. Since the time when our country was founded, there were almost no princes who have not lead an army. Emperor Taizong fought all the way to establish his position of Crown Prince with his military achievements. All the Crown Princes of our dynasty would personally lead the army.</span></div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">However, A’Mu was different. The late Emperor had only one son. At that time, the late Emperor wanted A’Mu to lead the army to attack Goryeo. All the officials were in an uproar, so the late Emperor issued an edict ordering A’Mu to only remotely lead the army.</span></div><div>
<br />When brother went to war, A’Mu and I left the city to send him off. We didn’t think that parting would turn out to be permanent.</div><div>
<br />Before my brother got on the horse, he touched my head and said, "Although A’Mu treats you well, don't be willful."</div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>Every time I thought about this, I would feel very sad. </span><span>The warmth of his palm would slowly warmed my forehead, but</span><span> I never saw him again. Every time I dream of brother, I feel very sad. Although I didn’t dream of my brother tonight, but I still felt sad.</span> </span></div><div>
<br />After dawn, I started to have a fever. Although A'Mu was not at ease, he still has to attend court, so he summoned the Imperial Doctor. I did not expect that I would be sick for this long. The Imperial Doctor had entered the palace every day and changed the prescription several times. The medicine was very bitter, but it wasn't very effective.</div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I would have a high fever every time at dawn, but during the day, my fever would get a bit better. I would only feel dizzy during the night, and I wouldn’t have strength during the day. When Yuan Shan heard that I was sick, she often entered the palace to see me and sometimes she would encounter A’Mu. One afternoon, I woke up from my nap and heard Yuan Shan's voice from the front of the palace. Looking out from behind the curtain, I noticed that A’Mu was sitting there. I could only see a part of Yuan Shan’s clothes. Her sitting posture was still very dignified and her voice was clear, like a graceful bird. A’Mu revealed a smile on his face. His expression was different to what I usually see and was one I can't describe. That kind of smile is very proper with restraint. I don't think he has ever smiled at me like that. All along, his smile to me brought a sense of tolerance and helplessness. At times he would reach out his hand to touch my hair, smiling at me for saying foolish things and thinking of silly ideas.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with that. My brother treated me the same way. However, now I felt that this was inappropriate. We have been a married couple for ten years, but he has never treated me the same way as he did to Yuan Shan. He has never revealed such a smile in front of me. He was different in front of the person he likes.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-5-part-1.html"><Side Story 5 Part 1</a> <a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-5-part-3.html">Side Story 5 Part 3></a></div></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-79457197382719498772021-01-19T20:05:00.010-05:002021-01-20T02:51:18.908-05:00 东宫 Eastern Palace: Full of Roses with Fragrance Overflowing the Entire Courtyard (Part 1)<div>The title of this side story is from the poem, Summer Day at the Mountain Pavilion, which is written by Gao Pian, a military governor of the Tang Dynasty. The poem describes a beautiful scenery during a summer day, which you can read it <a href="https://d3wynightunr0lls.wordpress.com/2015/08/21/山亭夏日-summer-day-at-the-mountain-pavilion-by-高骈-gao-pian/">here</a>.</div><div>......................</div><div><br /></div>A'Mu came back from hunting and gave me a bunch of wild roses. <div>
<br />The roses are extremely delicate. When you touch the petals, they fall off one after another. I quickly ordered people to put the roses in the crystal vase. Despite the fact that these roses were grown in the mountains, they are fragrant and unique.</div><div><br />Later in the evening, Yao Niang came to talk to me. Seeing the vase of wild roses, she asked where I got them. Once she found out that A'Mu had given me these roses, she couldn't help but smile, "His Majesty must be joking with you." </div><div>
<br />I pretended not to understand what she had said. </div><div>
<br />I am the only girl in my family. I have seven or eight elder brothers. My father was forty years old when I was born. Naturally, I am too spoiled. When I was a child, I was playing with boys, fighting mischievously, and doing all kinds of things. Until I was well over the age of 10, I beat up Prince Qi, who flirted with women on the street. This Prince Qi was a very lustful person. Hearing that I was Pei Yu's daughter, he gave me the nickname "Ye Qiang Wei[1]," which meant fragrant and white, but also unfortunately prickly. </div><div>
<br />Gradually, this nickname was spread out publicly. Of course, I did not approve of this nickname, but I never thought or expected that my father would be so angry that he thought I would not be able to get married in the future. So he decided to change my temper by locking me up at home and invited several teachers who forced me to learn embroidery and to write while almost boring me to death.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">In the end, the late Emperor saved me. When I was fourteen years old, I was betrothed to be the Crown Princess. I heard the late Emperor said with a smile, "Pei Qing, don't worry. Noble ladies always have difficulty getting married, just marry into our family as the bride."</span></div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">My father almost fainted when he received the imperial decree. Although he was worried that it would be difficult to marry me off, he did not want to marry me to the Emperor's family because the late Emperor only had one son. A'Mu was the Crown Prince, and he would become the Emperor in the future. My father thought that I was not suitable to be even a Crown Princess, not to mention being the Empress.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>However, there was no way to resist it, because the late Emperor had already issued the imperial decree. So my father could only invite more teachers to teach me, who reluctantly taught me <span style="background-color: white;"><span>to become a better person for the position of Empress</span>.</span><br />
<br />To be honest, I didn't think I would get married to A'Mu because I knew him too well. My second brother, Pei Zhong An, often goes to the Eastern Palace, as he grew up alongside the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has no other brothers -- only a sister, Princess Chaoyang. The late Emperor loved Chaoyang deeply, so he would often summon me into the palace to play with her. When I was a child, I often saw the Crown Prince and bullied him. I was not his opponent because he was a boy and his strength was greater than mine. We have fought countless times. Countless times, I have put a dead snake and half a mouse into his book bag. Countless times, he would give me all kinds of strange insects in return. Chaoyang always said with a smile that A'Mu and I were natural enemies. Chaoyang and I were really close. We both have no sisters, but Chaoyang always said to me, if she had a sister, she would be like me. Since the late Emperor had bestowed me with the title of Crown Princess, Chaoyang was even more happy, because in the future, we would be able to spend more time together. </div><div>
<br />But by the time I got married to A'Mu, Chaoyang was already dead. </div><div>
<br />The death of Chaoyang made the late Emperor so depressed that he fell ill for several years on and off. He was ill when he attended our wedding. At that time, he has been ill for a very long time and all the imperial doctors were worried. At this time, I was married into the Eastern Palace. Some people in court said that the royal family taking in a bride was like bringing joy to the commoners. </div><div>
<br />I was a Crown Princess for six years before the late Emperor had passed away. After his death, A'Mu ascended the throne and bestowed me with the title of Empress. Now it was the fourth year of Chengping [2], making it ten years since A'Mu had married me.</div><div>
<br />In the past ten years A'Mu and I had grown up, and I gradually understood that being willful was a privilege of childhood. To be an Empress, one cannot be willful. A'Mu and I have endured hardships together for the past ten years. Coupled with our childhood friendship, we got along with our relatives. Although I have not done a good job as an Empress, I have not made any big mistakes. </div><div>
<br />Based on my personality, I was already lucky enough to not make any big mistakes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yao Niang accompanied me during dinner. The soup had not been brought to the table when suddenly someone called out, "His Majesty has arrived."</div><div>
<br />According to the old rule of the palace, the Emperor comes to the Empress’ palace every date with the number five. However, A’Mu and I were a young married couple and we never followed these kind of rules; instead, A’Mu would always come whenever he wanted to.</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Before I could stand up, A’Mu had already come inside. The evening sunlight reflected through the window, shining on his tall body. I do not know why, but I suddenly felt that he was a little different today. Perhaps we have been together for too long. I have known him since I was four years old and have been married to him for ten years. I have spent more days with him than with anyone else in this world.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I should have stood up and bowed to pay respect to him. I got up in a hurry, but he pressed down my shoulder and motioned me to sit back at the table. This was also a common thing between us as when I first entered the Eastern Palace, we were already familiar with each other. Whenever I disregard these kind of palace rules, my teachers would teach me a lesson.</span></span></div><div>
<br />When A’Mu sat down, he saw the fruits on the table. He said, "I wanted to have dinner with you, but you have already eaten it."</div><div>
<br />"It's not finished yet." I ordered people to bring new dishes, cups, and chopsticks. Sometimes at night, A'Mu would drink a glass of wine and talk to me about court affairs. Sometimes, we would not say anything and quietly go to the Taiye pond to row a boat when the palace servants were not around. Today, however, A'Mu obviously had something on his mind. I poured him a glass of wine, and he soon finished drinking it. I poured another cup for him. He stopped his chopsticks and said to me: "There's something..." </div><div>
<br />Seeing that he was stuttering, I couldn't help but laugh and asked: "Husband, what's the matter? Is it possible that you want to confer the title of concubine to a certain beauty?" </div><div>
<br />A'Mu couldn't help but laugh after he heard me say this. Maybe because of the way the late Emperor had taught A'Mu, he has no interest in beauties. Occasionally, there would be people within the harem who would try to get his attention, but A'Mu was always too lazy to take another look at them and that is why I made fun of him. However, a moment later, he stopped smiling and said to me, "Shi Liu Niang, Princess Zhao is returning to the Capital."</div><div>
<br />I thought about it before I understood why A’Mu would especially mention about Princess Zhao to me. </div><div>
<br />Princess Zhao was Yuan Shan. </div><div>
<br />I haven't seen Yuan Shan for ten years.</div><div><br />When a person is young and ignorant, they would always do a few absurd things. When I was young and ignorant, I did more than hundreds or thousands of absurd things. However, A'Mu was different. During his youth, the only thing that was not expected of him was that he liked Yuan Shan.</div><div>
<br />A’Mu was different from me. From the day he was born,<span style="background-color: white;"> high expectations were placed on him</span>. Although his own mother <span style="background-color: white;">was of low status</span>, the Empress had no children herself, so she raised him in her own palace. His birth mother died of illness a few years after the Empress had passed way. The late Emperor was indifferent to females, so there was no favoured concubine in the harem. A’Mu does not even have any brothers. All the officials knew that he was going to be an Emperor in the future, and the late Emperor used great efforts in selecting a Grand Tutor [3] for him. Therefore, A’Mu was a calm person and has won many praises from the ministers when he was a teenager.</div><div><br />However, the late Emperor did not like Yuan Shan. After vaguely guessing A’Mu’s worries, the late Emperor had sent Yuan Shan <span style="background-color: white;">far away to marry Prince Zhao.</span></div><div>
<br />At that time, we were still young. I even heard A’Mu say to Chaoyang, "It is my fault that this has happened to Shan Niang[4].”</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Childhood sweethearts are indeed unforgettable.</span></div><div>
<br />So I thought about it and said calmly, "Don’t worry, I will take good care of Shan Niang."</div><div>
<br />A’Mu seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end, he said nothing.</div><div><br />At this time, it was already dark, and the palace maids insisted on lighting the lamps. The bright full moon rose, and the bright rays of light scattered on the steps. The candle lights gradually lit up, and the moonlight became brighter and brighter, like a thin layer of silk that was trapped in front of the palace hall. On that evening of early summer, the night wind carried a fragrant scent. A’Mu asked, "What kind of incense is this? It smells like the scent of flowers."</div><div>
<br />I told him with a smile, "It’s the fragrance of the wild roses."</div><div>
<br />A’Mu looked at the crystal vase at the bottom of the curtain. Under the dim candle light, the petals of the wild roses drooped like delicate jade. <span style="background-color: white;">With a touch of his hand, the petals fluttered and fell.</span></div><div>
<br />I couldn’t help but say, "Ah." Although this kind of rose was grown in the mountains, it is the most delicate and tender type of rose. Not even one day has passed, but yet the flowers in the vase have already withered.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">A’Mu seemed to be quite sorry and</span> said, "Tomorrow, I'll give you some more wild roses."</div><div>
<br />I laughed and said, "Okay."</div><div>
<br />A’Mu sat here for another moment, drank some tea, and then returned to Gan Lou palace hall.</div><div><br />The tea set was still scattered on the table. I lifted it with one hand and watched the palace maids pack up the tea box. Yao Niang came and sat quietly beside me.</div><div>
<br />When all of the servants have left, Yao Niang said, "Now that Princess Zhao is a widow, I'm afraid the reason she is coming back to the Capital is because she has intentions of getting remarried. Your Ladyship is very silly; there is no need to help others prepare wedding clothes.” </div><div>
<br />It was very quiet at night. I didn't know there was a bug, which was constantly chirping. When Yao Niang saw that I didn't pay attention to what she said, she became more and more anxious, "Your Ladyship has been in the palace for ten years, could it be that you still don't know people are vicious?"</div><div> <br />I listened to the bug chirp and then yawned, "Yao Niang, I am sleepy."</div><div><br />Yao Niang saw that I seemed sad, so she held back all the words she wanted to say and <span style="background-color: white;">let me be.</span></div><div> <br /><span style="background-color: white;">When I went to sleep, the palace maids blew out the candle outside the curtain. I fell asleep on the pillow, thinking about the words Yao Niang had said. The ten years in the palace seemed like a moment that passed by in a flash. When I first entered the Eastern Palace, my father was extremely worried. However, A'Mu treated me very well. His Majesty was already very ill at that time. Although he was still strict to A'Mu, he was tolerant and loving towards me. He often said to A'Mu, "You are married now, so you should try your best to take good care of her." </span></div><div>
<br />A'Mu naturally took good care of me. Chaoyang was very frail, so as her elder brother, he was very considerate of her and others.</div><div> <br />A'Mu and I have known each other since childhood, and there were a lot of things we can't hide from each other. For example, the only person A'Mu loved in his teenage years was Yuan Shan. When I was a child, I actually wanted to marry Han Zhi, the most famous and handsome man in the Capital.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">But how many girls in the Capital do not want to marry Han Zhi? After I became the Crown Princess, Han Zhi was the Crown Prince's guest at that time. One time, A'Mu had summoned him into the palace to play a round of go [5] just to let me have a look at that handsome youth, who now had grown a beard, looking like a average elderly man.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>After I saw him, I was very disappointed. I said to A'Mu, "Han Zhi's handsome face now looks very ugly with that beard. You can never grow a beard in the future." A’Mu laughed and immediately agreed with me. I don't know if he was being serious, but he didn't have a beard for so many years.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I fell asleep while thinking about these moments of the past and only woke up when it was the morning. The early morning grooming was very tedious. While I was combing my hair, A’Mu ordered someone to bring a bunch of wild roses, which have dew on it, to me. I took the wild roses and placed them in the crystal vase. Yesterday's flowers have withered even more while in contrast, the flowers today were more beautiful and fresh.</span></span></div><div>
<br />"It's so early, where did His Majesty get these flowers?" </div><div>
<br />The man sent by A'Mu replied, "This morning, his Majesty went to Chenghui Palace and picked these flowers from there."</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">I couldn't help but be stunned. Chenghui Palace is a quiet place. It was said that when the late Emperor was still the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess lived in Chenghui Palace. During the Qin He Era, a fire destroyed many palaces. Some of them were rebuilt but others were demolished and changed into pond gardens. Some of the other palaces, however, were abandoned for some unknown reasons. When I married A’Mu, the Eastern Palace had been renovated and the place where the Crown Princess lived was far away from the Chenghui Palace.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I don't know why, but I suddenly wanted to go to the Chenghui Palace and take a look. Seeing that I was so </span><span>passionate</span><span>, Yao Niang had no choice but to accompany me.</span></span></div><div>
<br />Chenghui Palace is not far from where I live. T<span style="background-color: white;">he time it takes </span><span style="background-color: white;">to get there by carriage</span><span style="background-color: white;"> is the same amount of time it takes to cook tea leaves twice</span>. Despite the fact that all the palaces in this area were not badly damaged, the walls still were blackened. The dark blue glazed roof tiles were still shining brightly in the sunlight. There were a lot of pine trees growing in the area with birds flying around. Under the bright sun, it was quite desolate to look at them.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Because A’Mu had been here in the morning, the front of the palace was already roughly cleaned. I walked into the courtyard along the corridor. There were long rose vines climbing on the rockery, and the white and pink flowers were in full bloom. The flower shelf on the other side had collapsed. This place was surrounded by wild grasses, which revealed that there was no trace of any human living here for a long time.</span></div><div>
<br />I stood in the corridor for a moment as the cool morning wind was blowing at my clothes. Yao Niang said to me, "Your Ladyship has a smooth life since childhood. Everything has been going well. Up to now, you have never encountered difficulty, so you treat everyone with kindness. But you don't know that the people in the palace have vicious hearts. <span style="background-color: white;"><span>The late Emperor’s Empress Mingde had been harmed to death by others</span>."</span></div><div><br />I have never heard of Empress Mingde at all. Yao Niang told me that Empress Mingde was the first wife of the late Emperor during his time at the Eastern Palace.</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">I stood in the corridor surrounded by the fragrance of wild roses, listening to Yao Niang tell of a story about the deep palace that made me absolutely horrified.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>A foreign woman, who married into the palace of the Central Plains as the Crown Princess, was naive and did not know about the dangers in the palace, while there was another concubine who was deeply loved by the Crown Prince. In order to win the position of Crown Princess, the concubine poisoned the Crown Princess.</span></span></div><div><br />Yao Niang sighed, "Later, the Crown Prince found out about this matter, so he demoted the concubine to the status of a commoner and then put her to death, but the Crown Princess was already dead."</div><div>
<br />I said disapprovingly, "But A’Mu doesn't have a favoured concubine."</div><div>
<br />Yao Niang was so angry that her eyebrows were almost vertical, “Your Ladyship, how can you refer to his Majesty by his name <span style="background-color: white;">at your own will</span>? You should be planning ahead to prevent something from happening.”</div><div>
<br />After all, she still taught me to guard against Yuan Shan.</div><div>
<br />But if a person’s heart has someone else, you can't prevent it.</div><div>
<br />I faintly said a few words to Yao Niang and picked a bunch of wild roses before turning around to leave.</div><div><br />I placed the flowers into the crystal vase and now, the roses in the vase are squeezed tightly together, which made it very beautiful. A large amount of fresh roses covered yesterday's roses. Although petals were constantly falling to the bottom of the curtains, the fragrance of the flowers is fragrant and they <span style="background-color: white;">flourish the more you look at them</span>.</div><div>
<br />Yao Niang tried to persuade me, but I still decided to send someone outside the city to escort Yuan Shan into the palace.</div><div>
<br />Because she was widowed, Yuan Shan had refused me once. She only came into the palace when I wrote a letter to her in person.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">I haven't seen Yuan Shan for ten years. She was born of noble status. Her father is Liang Zhang, who is the Emperor’s son-in-law and has a military rank, while her mother is Princess Yongshou. Yuan Shan was a famous girl in the Capital and also my playmate. A lot of people don't know how Yuan Shan and I became friends. After all, Yuan Shan and I have totally different personalities.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I sat in my palace and watched Yuan Shan slowly walk up the steps from afar. Her figure still looked tall and beautiful, her footsteps were light. The breeze was blowing at her sleeves, which made her look like a cloud that was coming closer and closer.</span></span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>I could gradually see her face clearly. So many years have passed yet she seemed to not have changed, still so delicate and gentle, like a piece of jade. Because of her </span><span>widowhood</span><span>, she was dressed solemnly, </span><span>but her beauty seemed to be replaced by a restrained brightness</span><span>, becoming more and more dignified and beautiful.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">My conversation with her was a little strange at first, but gradually, it got better. When I asked about the scenery of Qingzhou, Yuan Shan answered very briefly, but it was very interesting. I have hardly ever left the Capital, so I was more curious about other places. Yuan Shan said, "If Your Highness does not mind, I have a few items I brought with me from Qingzhou, which I would like to gift to Your Highness."</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Notes:</div><div>[1] 野蔷薇 Ye Qiang Wei- Wild rose</div><div>[2] 承平 Chengping- The name of A'Mu's reign.</div><div>[3] 太傅 Grand Tutor- Along with Grand Preceptor and Grand Protector, Grand Tutor was one of the Emperor's closest advisors.</div><div>[4] 珊娘 Shan Niang- Another way of referring to Yuan Shan.</div><div>[5] 圍棋 Go- A strategy board game that consists of black and white stones, played by two players.

Like her adoptive mother when watching Huangmei opera [1], feeling very touched. Perhaps it would also feel very awkward and unaccustomed, having to be very careful around them. Due to the distance in time, unfamiliarity would arise.<br /></p><p>I have thought of each of the scenarios, but none of them actually happened. This reality is real because it rejected all assumptions.</p><p>"Si Wan, what happened to you?" The dignified old man swept his eyes slowly from Ah Heng to the teenage boy who was soaked in water.</p><p>"Grandfather, Yan Xi and I were just playing around. We were not careful..." Si Wan did not mind, he was smiling.</p><p>The old man nodded slightly, and then he looked back at Ah Heng.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Ah Heng’s heart was beating very fast, it felt like time seemed to stop at this moment. The old man, known as "grandfather," looked at her, leaving her nowhere to hide.</span></p><p>"What was your name before?"</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">"Yun, Heng." Ah Heng grew up in the south, although she learned how to speak Mandarin, but she was not fluent. Therefore, she stuttered, speaking one word at a time.</span></p><p>"According to the seniority of Si Wan, when your mother had you, I gave you a name called Si Er, but this name is now occupied by someone else. You should just use your original name, from now on you will be called Wen Heng." The old man pondered for a while, looking at his granddaughter before opening his mouth to speak.</p><p>Occupied? Ah Heng was a little confused. Her eyes unconsciously look at Si Wan, and finally stop at his hands. The teenage boy’s finger gaps were so swollen that the veins could be seen very clearly, and the water drops on the cuff slide down along the back of his hand.</p><p>"Aunt Zhang, take Wen Heng to her room." The old man told the middle-aged woman standing on the side, and then looked at Si Wan, "Go clean up. You are old enough, still being like this. "</p><p>The depth of love is a responsibility.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">When Ah Heng walked up the curved wooden stairs with Aunt Zhang, she thought of the old man's way of teaching Si Wan. That sentence flashed through her mind.</span></p><p>When she was very young, her adoptive father told her that family relationship can not be calculated by addition or subtraction. <span style="background-color: white;">Even if you expect no return from the efforts you made, there is no such thing as none, and fussing over minor matters would not exist.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Since there is no love, so it will be indifference?</span></p><p>The teacher in the small town have taught the contrast of this as well.</p><p>"We are here." Aunt Zhang went to the corner of the second floor and opened the bedroom door.</p><p>"Thank you." Ah Heng’s gentle voice was accompanied with the strange tone of Mandarin.</p><p>Aunt Zhang’s expression was unnatural. She looked at Ah Heng for a while, finally sighed before turning around to leave.</p><p>Ah Heng dragged the suitcase into the bedroom, but she was suddenly confused.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Full of warm blue colour, delicate and warm design, everywhere reveals the breath of life. Exquisite blue shell wind chime, a soft big bed that could fit four of her, revealing the warm breath of bedding.</span></p><p>Has someone lived here before? It was as if she had broken into someone else's private space, Ah Heng felt very confused. She put down her suitcase and sat down on the swivel chair beside the glass round table.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">As she looked down, she saw several delicate straw dolls on the round table. There was grandfather with white hair and beard, grandmother with curved eyebrows and a cross pendant, father in navy uniform with a cigarette, gentle mother with beautiful hair, and there was also a boy with raised eyebrows, big eyes and deep dimples. Is this....the whole Wen family?</span></p><p>Ah Heng looked at those dolls who had a charming innocence, her nervous mood was strangely relaxed. She reached out and caressed their silhouettes with her fingertips.</p><p>"Do not touch Er Er's things!"</p><p>Ah Heng was so scared that her hands were trembling. In a moment, the doll fell on the carpet. She turned and looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her. She suddenly felt sad.</p><p>When she was a child, she knew that she and her father, mother and brother Yun Zai did not look alike. She asked her mother: "Mother, why don't I look like you?"</p><p>"Ah Heng, you look prettier this way." Mother looked at her lovingly and laughed, "Straight eyebrows brings a more elegant aura to a person than curved eyebrows."</p><p>Mother Yun has the classic curved eyebrows, the delicate beauty of Jiangnan[2] women; Ah Heng has straight eyebrows, delicate and gentle eyes, which look like some of the bright and clean landscapes.</p><p>The middle-aged woman in front of her happens to have those beautiful straight eyebrows.</p><p>Ah Heng stood up, her body was very stiff. Ah Heng kept on staring at her, looking at the woman go to her side, gently squat down to pick up the fallen doll, and then she stood up.</p><p>She didn't ask for her name, how old she was, whether she was doing well or not, or questions any mother would ask. She just looked at her with a glance. Her eyes were shining brightly at first, but then she coldly said: "Don't touch anything in this room."</p><p>Afterwards, she left.</p><p>Ah Heng looked at the woman's back, suddenly a deep feeling of inferiority slowly released from the bottom of her heart. Who is she? This child wanted to crush herself and become untouchable dust in the air.</p><p>Ignoring is more cruel than abandoning.</p><p>Mother, that gentle and soft word.</p><p>Ah Heng's mother.</p><p>Mother, mother.</p><p>Ah Heng was hugging her suitcase, crying out of shame.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">It was expected by </span><span style="background-color: white;">Ah Heng</span><span style="background-color: white;"> that at </span><span style="background-color: white;">dinner that day</span><span style="background-color: white;">, only the head of the family, her grandfather, was present. There was no father, mother, or even Wen Si Wan, who had seen her.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">The old man asked her a lot of questions. Ah Heng was always nervous and incoherent until he wrinkled his eyebrows.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">"I have already informed the school. You and Si Wan will go to school together tomorrow. If you have any questions, ask him."</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">In the early morning, Ah Heng met the secretary that had brought her to B city again.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Si Wan was sitting in the front passenger seat, Ah Heng was sitting in the rear seat on the same side as Si Wan.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Growing up, it was Ah Heng's first time coming to the northern area, so naturally it was a new experience for her. Tired crowds, strong and charming Beijing dialect, tall and neat buildings, surrounded by exquisite courtyard houses....The same city, different atmosphere, but it perfectly blends together.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">"Si Wan, there is a traffic jam ahead." The gentle Secretary Li turned around looking at Si Wan while faintly smiling, with a tone of inquiry.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">"We are very close to the school, Wen Heng and I should get off first, right Uncle Li?" Thinking and pondering, looking at the long line of cars that have been blocking the road for nearly 20 minutes, he politely smiled in response.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Ah Heng was carrying her schoolbag on her back, following Si Wan, not too far or close, just an arm's length distance.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">A long time later, Ah Heng stood stiffly beside Si Wan, at an arm's length distance.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">At first he didn't notice it, later he realized that Ah Heng only treat him like this out of the group of friends. Despite being a young gentleman, he couldn't help but feel gloomy.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">"Girl, I am your brother, brother!" Si Wan put his hand gently on Ah Heng's head, while joking.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">"I know." Ah Heng replied frankly.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">It was because he is her brother that she clearly remembered that he didn't like her near him.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Cherishing someone cautiously, Si Wan will not understand, just as he does not understand why he would give up Ah Heng again and again.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Si Wan chose a pathway, walking through a narrow alley. Ah Heng lowered her head silently trying to remember the pathway, until they had reached to the end of the pathway, and saw the busy crowd.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">The reason why fate is so powerful is that it can stand at the end of the journey to see the amazing encounters it had set for you along the way. Those encounters, although you may often praise them in your heart for being irreplaceable, their existence were just a natural occurrence looking back, as if a piece of the puzzle that is missing, eventually exists just to complete the puzzle.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">This was the second time Ah Heng saw the person she liked. He was sitting on the street corner, in the middle of a group of old people, sipping the coarse porcelain bowl of soy milk.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">The slender white fingers held onto the edge of the bowl, his black hair was so soft that it naturally hang down along the forehead, just covering the side of his face, showing only the tall and delicate nose bridge. She could clearly see every curly strand of his hair, the disordered thread beside the first button of his dark blue school uniform jacket, but his face was completely blank.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">At that time, it was 7:58.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">"Yan Xi, you're going to be late, hurry up!" Si Wan got used to it. He patted his shoulder, his long legs continuously moving forward.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Ah Heng silently looked at the teenage boy, who lazily raised his slender finger in the direction of Si Wan, without raising his head.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Yan Xi, this seemed like a girl's name.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Seeing that the teenage boy's hair was stained with soy milk, Ah Heng faintly smiled, gently taking out a white handkerchief from her pocket and then putting it quietly on the dusty wooden table before leaving.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">The young man did not look up. At that time, he seemed to be indifferent to anyone who was a stranger to him.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Translator Notes: I was confused with the title of the chapter, but I am guessing tree branch might be a reference to a family tree (a chart that represents the relationships among a family). Each tree branch represent a relationship between two family members, so I am guessing in this context it might mean a certain family member was unwilling to let Ah Heng stay.</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">Notes:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">[1] 黄梅戏 Huangmei opera- One of the mainstream opera in China which also includes Beijing Opera, Yue Opera, Yu Opera, and Ping Opera.

With the irregular onset of the rainy season, the clear and sweet female voice brought warmth within the weather.</p><p>She often sat on the bamboo stool in front of the medicine stove while holding a palm-leaf fan. Yun Zai was lying down on the wooden bed not far away. His pupils were as clear and beautiful as the glass balls she played with when she was a child. His eyelashes fluttered as he blinked and gently asked her: "Sister, today's medicine is not bitter, right?"</p><p>She held onto the palm-leaf fan, slowing down her movements. She sniffed the strong medicine. She didn't know what to say, not daring to turn around, she hesitated before opening her mouth to vaguely respond: "En.....Not bitter......."</p><p>"Sister, since you said it's not bitter, then I believe you." Yun Zai smiled, looked at her with eyes that were full of smiles, <span style="background-color: white;">his thin face added a bit of vividness.</span></p><p>So, when she fed Yun Zai the warm medicine, her eyes were not willing to look at him.</p><p>She was not good, whenever she encounters problems that cannot be solved, she would often choose to escape.</p><p>Then, when she left home and was taken to another home, she intuitively ignored the farewell.</p><p>From the south to the north, from poor to rich, Wen Heng refused this transition. A better way to describe it, "mild in nature, accepting circumstances with goodwill"; an unpleasant way to describe it, it's inevitable to be "cold, selfish and ruthless."</p><p>People in town could not understand, they said that Yun Heng has lived in the Yun family for 16 years, calling them father and mother with sincerity, without a trace of affectation. Now that she has her biological parents, how could she forget about the parents who have raised her?</p><p>The daughter-in-law of the chief, who opened a tea shop, raised her eyebrows and scoffed with a smile: "It's a pity that the Yun family has only one broken medicine stove and two outdoor rooms. If her adoptive father lives in the official residence, no matter if there was a sick person living there, and if they were raising a nest of big insects, do you think that girl would stay or leave?!"</p><p>This was precisely what happened, Ah Heng's biological family lives in the official residence located in B city. They were senior officials that could cause their small town to collapse by just stamping their feet!</p><p>Naturally, Ah Heng couldn't hear these words. At that time, she was clenching her teeth and staring at the car window. She was afraid that she would vomit and ruin this expensive car!</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Feeling dizzy, not knowing how much time have passed, the sceneries flew past in front of her eyes nonstop. Ah Heng's mind was blank, her sight was fixed on the clear neon light. The violent sound of wind filled her ears, making her feel very dizzy.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Once those sounds disappeared, the moment she opened her eyes, the car door slowly opened, and the slightly curved long knuckles appeared in front of her with a breath of summer.</span></p><p>Ah Heng admitted that at the time, she had unspeakable expectations when she saw that pair of hands. Later when she thought back on this, she felt like she may perhaps have a bird-like complex[1].</p><p>"Welcome, Yun Heng."</p><p>"I am Wen Si Wan," the young boy pronounced “Wen” with a clear voice. "Grandfather asked me to take you back."</p><p>Wen Si Wan.......Si Wan.....</p><p>Ah Heng pronounced his name silently, she remembered when Secretary Li picked her up from the small town, he had told her that the Wen family has a young boy, who is her biological older brother.</p><p>She raised her head slightly, looked at his eyes carefully, and then, perceiving something, she looked away quietly and lowered her head slightly in confusion.</p><p>Wen Si Wan smiled, when she felt shy, he did not notice. Waving his hand, Si Wan politely said goodbye to his grandfather's secretary and took over the suitcase in Ah Heng’s hand.</p><p>Ah Heng looked at Si Wan, at his straight back, not far or close from her, from an arm's length distance.</p><p>Being in a city for the first time, children from remote areas are naive in nature, always having some strange sensitivity. She can tell that Si Wan had ill-feelings toward her which she had chosen to ignore, a clear rejection all hidden in his eyes, making her feel awkward.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Palpitating with fear for a short moment</span>, she couldn’t help but breathe in a big mouthful of air, but she still felt depressed.</p><p>Following the pace of Si Wan, her eyes slowly wandered to the so-called “official residence.”</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Independent white buildings were arranged on both sides of the flat and wide road, giving a bright and clean feeling. It was not filled with gold and silver as she had imagined, but it was luxurious to the point that it exposes people’s desires.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">As it was the summer, there were plentiful of trees, and several villas were hidden in the shade</span><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></p><p>When Si Wan walked on the stone path, his silhouette was slowly being covered by the big trees. Ah Heng was still in a daze, when she finally returned to her senses, she had lost sight of him.</p><p>She froze in place, looking at the forked stone road, not knowing whether to go left or right.</p><p>Fortunately this child was gentle by nature, and was not impatient. She believed that once Si Wan could not find her, he would naturally return to the original path. No matter how bad it was, you can always meet people and ask for directions. Wen Mu Xin, grandfather’s name, which Secretary Li had definitely told her.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">At dusk, the beautiful white building behind the tree reflected the side of Yun Heng.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">Subconsciously, she raised her face and squinted her burning eyes at the setting sun. Followed by the cool and refreshing tree shade, she saw a window dyed in gold colour.</span></p><p>By the window, there was a figure.</p><p>His hands were beautiful, his violin was beautiful, echoing a very sharp sound.</p><p>His eyes were very big and proud.</p><p>As far as the eyes can see, his vision did not have her.</p><p>This was the first time she had seen this person, her heart was beating like a drum.</p><p>It was just a faint figure, but she could not look away. As if she had been bewitched, she could only stay in place with the posture of looking up, staring through the tree crack with a delicate and nervous mood.</p><p>A handsome gentleman there, quietly standing by the window, that memory would stay in her mind forever. However at that moment, it was just a silhouette.</p><p>Afterwards, she would often think about him, the ten years they had experienced together. Most of the time, it was her secretly admiring him. Bitter, sweet, it was him who froze those times, however, those times have nothing to do with him.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">The sunshine reflected on her braids</span>, Ah Heng raised her head and smiled.</p><p>Before she could hear the sound of the violin, but afterwards it was complete silence, she could only hear her own breathing. Slowly, it was as if she was pushed into water by someone. Drowning, losing consciousness, unable to revive.</p><p>She didn't know when Si Wan had returned to her side, hands raised and shaped in the form of a loudspeaker, yelling at the window: "Ah Xi, how can you destroy people's ears again? It's the wrong tune!"</p><p>Yun Heng was frightened by Si Wan, once again looking up, the figure had disappeared, leaving only the empty window.</p><p>Before she could react, in an instant, the window screen was half opened. In the blink of an eye, a basin of water was poured on Si Wan's body, very accurately and without a single drop of water wasted.</p><p>Then, the white pair of hands quickly took back the pink plastic basin. With a bang, he shut the windows and pulled the curtains, as if he was exorcising ghosts in one go.</p><p>This year was 1998.</p><p>Ah Heng could not escape this destined fate. At the age of 15, she finally met Yan Xi.</p><p>Many years later, someone asked her: "Ah Heng, be honest, did you fall in love with this beauty at that time?" Ah Heng smiles and said: "How could that be possible?"</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">At that time, she was young and foolish, she didn't have any other thoughts. She just thought the citizens in the capital were very different. Even his posture when he poured water was especially aggressive, especially..........good looking.....</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">Notes:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;">[1]</span>雏鸟情结 Bird-like complex- Chicks and other animals would imitate the actions of the first animal they see and would treat that animal as their mother.

The whole stone beam was on the verge of collapsing.</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>The snowy wind had stopped long ago, and a crescent moon was <span style="background-color: white;">hanging</span> in the lower part of the sky.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Suddenly someone couldn’t help but exclaim: "Lake! Holy lake!”<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I walked around the huge rocks and was stunned. </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Out of thin air</span>, the rapid flowing river in the valley disappeared, revealing the riverbed. Not far away, it was a <span style="background-color: white;">calm lake</span>. </div><div><br /></div><div>The jade coloured lake under the moonlight, looked like a smooth crystal plate. </div><div><br /></div><div>Everyone did not dare to speak, fearing that they would make the mountain god angry again. </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">The stone beam was about to collapse, it was not suitable to stay here any longer. I took the whole group of people further down around the lake. </span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">After the landslide, the pathway was much more difficult to walk. This time, more and more horses were injured. The remaining people were all injured, and everyone was feeling dejected. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>Everyone walked quietly through the valley until they found a gentle slope and camped by the lake.<br /><br /></div><div>Everyone was sleepy and tired, I had personally guarded the place at night. When it was almost dawn, I switched shifts with another soldier.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I fell asleep on the felt blanket as soon as I<span style="background-color: white;"> laid down.</span><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>After dawn, everyone ate some of the dry food and then <span style="background-color: white;">packed up camp</span>.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">After some time had passed, at noon, the sun finally shone into the valley, but there was no warmth.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Even I couldn't think of a way to encourage everyone.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>A lot of the dry food has been lost in the landslide, <span style="background-color: white;">with only a few days of dry food left</span>. If we do not leave the valley, I am afraid we will be in a desperate situation.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I don't know whether my obsession was right or wrong.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Suddenly the person in front called out: "People! General! There are people in the lake!"<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I looked up, the lake was full of rocks, there was a huge rock like a screen floating in the water. The rock seemed to have something hidden, but the lake reflected the sunlight, sparkling, it was difficult to see clearly within this light. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>I got off the horse, not caring about anything else, just rushed into the lake. </div><div><br /></div><div>The water soon reached my waist.</div><div><br /></div><div>I took a few more steps forward into the water. </div><div><br /></div><div>It was really people, it was them!<br /> </div><div>The Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess were pushed onto the huge rock by the water, most of their bodies were submerged in the water. His Highness had tightly tied his hand and the Ninth Princess’s hand together with a belt.</div><div><br /></div><div>What was I thinking at that time?<br /><br /></div><div>The heavens must have pitied us!</div><div><br /></div><div>Finally I was able to find them!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>I reached out my hand, my finger was trembling.

My body couldn't help but tremble a bit, almost falling into the water.<br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>It was not until a long time later that I remembered when I reached out my hand to see if they were still breathing, I actually reached out to the Princess first.</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>What was I thinking at that time?<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe I was thinking that if the Princess died, even if the Crown Prince survived, he would not be able to live any longer.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Seemed like a miracle.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The river of forgetfulness, to forget a love.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>After the two of them woke up, I really did not expect that they would forget the past.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Ever since the Princess became the Crown Princess, she was always unhappy, wanting to go back to Western Liang.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But she didn't know that she would never be able to return to Western Liang.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>She wasn't always unhappy, but sometimes when she seems sad, I would feel a bit worried.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince had invited me to have some wine. He mentioned about the young princesses and asked me which one I liked.</div><div><br /></div><div>I casually said: "Anyone would be fine."<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways I will have to get married, marrying which princess does not make a difference.</div><div><br /></div><div>His Highness glanced at me, suddenly said: "This is a very important matter in life, you don’t want to choose?”</div><div><br /></div><div>I smiled as I drank the wine: "It was always the princesses that would choose their husbands. <span style="background-color: white;">Was there ever a subject who could choose between the princesses? </span>Your Highness, don’t make things difficult for me."<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>His Highness said: "<span style="background-color: white;">Is there someone in your heart</span>?"<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I glanced at his Highness, who laughed: "<span style="background-color: white;">See, whenever I guess your thoughts, I would always get it right</span>."<br /><br /></div><div>His Highness teased me, but seeing I did not respond, he stopped talking about it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I returned to my residence.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>During dusk, it started to rain. The branches and leaves of the parasol tree within the courtyard had <span style="background-color: white;"><span>flourished, reflecting a dark shadow in the room.</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Xiao Xue meowed as it came inside.</div><div><br /></div><div>I bent down to pick it up.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I scratched its neck with my fingers.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>There was a small golden bell wrapped around its neck, making a small sound.<br /><br /></div><div>I remembered the first time when I saw the cat a long time ago.<br /><br /></div><div>At that time, the Crown Princess was still the Ninth Princess of Western Liang. She happily showed me the cat and said: "Look, Gu Xiao Wu won it for me! It's called Xiao Xue!”<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>At that time, Xiao Xue was only the size of a fist. When she held it, one person and a cat, </span><span>like a round ball of fluff.<br /></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>She would often wear a golden chain with a golden bells around her ankle. As soon as she moves, it would make a sharp sound. This time when she moved, one of the bells fell off and rolled to the side of my boots.</div><div><br /></div><div>I picked it up for her.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>She grabbed it with a smile and said: "Ah, right! You don't have to find a goldsmith to fix it for me.” As she said this, </span><span>she untied her hair band and put it through the golden bell, then she </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">tied it around Xiao Xue’s neck.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Xiao Xue was not used to wearing it, constantly using its claws to scratch the golden bell, the Princess caught Xiao Xue’s claws, not allowing it to scratch the bell, asked me: "Where is Gu Xiao Wu?"</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I said: "Upstairs."<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The Princess was still holding the cat’s claws, holding the cat while climbing up the ladder to find his Highness on the rooftop.</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>The golden bells around her ankle sounded as she moved. I could hear her singing.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>It was not the song that she usually sings, the song was:"A’Gua went to the riverside to hunt for wolves. The fox came instead of the wolf. When the fox came, it was very sad....A’Gua was very sad....."</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Western Liang people call their older brothers as A’Gua, but it also means lover. She only sang these two <span style="background-color: white;"><span>lines</span> of the </span>song. I heard his Highness’s voice from the rooftop, asked: "Who is singing this terrible song? Is it Xiao Feng?"</div><div><br /></div><div>"It's me!"<br /><br /></div><div>She stood on the ladder with a smile, happily lifting up the cat: "Look, Xiao Xue is wearing a bell."<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Half of her body was already out on the rooftop.</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>I couldn't see her face, but I knew she must be very happy.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I never heard her sing that song again.<br /><br /></div><div>Until the end of my life.</div><div><br /></div><div>Translator's note: I know many viewers of the drama adaptation questioned whether Pei Zhao like Xiao Feng or not, but the answer to that question is pretty evident in this side story, especially this part of the side story.</div><div><br /></div><div>Off topic, but if any of you were interested in reading Heartwarming Decade, I did upload the first chapter of it which can be found on the translations page.

You must not tell the Princess anything about the Jie Shuo clan, especially the things that happened in the past. If you do, I will kill you immediately and take the Princess's life as well." </div><div><br /></div><div>The moonlight reflected on her face, she revealed a faint smile, I suddenly remembered that she had no tongue. </div><div><br /></div><div>Naturally, she would not let the Princess know. </div><div><br /></div><div>Seeing that I understood, she nodded slowly, as a promise. </div><div><br /></div><div>Jie Shuo people emphasize on the importance of promises. The feng nu was very loyal, she promised to regard the Princess as her master, naturally she would never betray. </div><div><br /></div><div>I don't know where the feng nu had found these herbs. Under her care, the Princess's condition finally became better, gradually recovering her senses and could recognize people. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Princess was very grateful to me for allowing the feng nu to stay. After her illness gradually recovered and she could walk around, she especially came here to thank me. </div><div><br /></div><div>I said: "It was the Crown Prince who had ordered me to take care of Princess. If Princess wants to thank someone, then you should thank his Highness." </div><div><br /></div><div>The Princess was very serious, wanting to thank the Crown Prince, but she was denied entrance. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince seemed to hate her more than ever. </div><div><br /></div><div>"A barbarian woman from Western Liang." He said, "She's ugly, but still have a lover, Ah Zhao..." </div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't know what he was going to say, so I looked at him with a smile. <br />
<br />He choked, but then said: "Besides, I have the twelfth daughter of the Zhao family." </div><div><br /></div><div>The twelfth daughter of the Zhao family, that was another hidden worry, but at this moment, I could only say: "The Princess of Western Liang is still young, so maybe she does not know what is affection. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this."</div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince did not seem to care.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the eyes of everyone, the Princess was just a cover. </div><div><br /></div><div>When the Princess was given the title of Crown Princess, the twelfth daughter of the Zhao family had also entered the Eastern Palace and was given the title of Liang di. <br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">It felt like autumn had come again soon after spring ended</span>, the days had gone by just like that. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince treated the Crown Princess indifferently, so naturally was not good. Occasionally, he would quarrel with the Crown Princess because of Zhao Liang Di. </div><div><br /></div><div>The people within the Eastern Palace were not getting along, which gave the Empress countless excuses to interfere with the affairs of the Eastern Palace.<br /> </div><div>His Highness naturally knew about this, but the Eastern Palace itself was like a sieve that was leaking. No one in the world knew about the past fate between him and the Crown Princess, even the Crown Prince himself and the Crown Princess have forgotten all about the past, it was just me having this hidden worry in my heart. </div><div><br /></div><div>Fortunately his Highness still has great ambition, and the Crown Princess was an unrestrained person. Within the solemn palace, she raised and played with fishes every day, spending the days unrestrained. </div><div><br /></div><div>The river of forgetfulness, to forget a love. </div><div><br /></div><div>Maybe this was actually good. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Princess was still very childish, at times she would call me "General Pei" with a smile. </div><div><br /></div><div>I suddenly thought of the past, which happened a long time ago. </div><div><br /></div><div>After the two of them jumped down into the river, I led the army to search the mountain in a hurry. I did not hesitate to make a detour for hundreds of miles. Finally when we found the entrance of the valley, we tried to search the valley with little hope. </div><div><br /></div><div>The army has been searching for many days in the deep valley.</div><div><br /></div><div>A very steep and dangerous cliff with layers of rocks, heavy rain like the waterfall, pouring over everyone, making their faces pale. After a while, the raindrops had turned into snowflakes. </div><div><br /></div><div>The snow fell on the vast land.<br />
<br />A horse stumbled and slipped, several people tried very hard to hold onto the rein. The horse's nose started to bleed as a result of the pulling force, but in the end the rein was finally released, and the horse plunged into the furious torrent with a sad cry. The surging jade coloured waves quickly devoured the horse, leaving behind only white foam in the whirlpool. </div><div><br /></div><div>Someone murmured: "What kind of place is this?" </div><div><br /></div><div>It snowed during the eighth month, it was not rare for it to snow at this time. The valley was in the middle of a huge mountain. Only when the sky was clear, were we able to see the sky. During the first few days of entering the valley, the sandstorm covered the surroundings, and then it rained heavily. </div><div><br /></div><div>There was no pathway in the valley, people and the horses could only walk cautiously upstream along the river valley. It was a river valley, but also a cliff. There were continuous falling rocks from the top, and a surging torrent below. The river flowed too fast, no matter whether people or horses fall, they can not be rescued.</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>In the middle of the night, you can only camp </span><span>on the slope wall</span><span>, turning around would fall into the water. One time there was a landslide in the middle of the night, causing the mountain to collapse. A hundred people were buried instantly. Since then, every night, everyone only dares to sleep in shifts by the cliff, wrapped in felt blankets. If there was any movement, they will get up and run away.</span></span></div><div><br />The people and horses were tired, <span style="background-color: white;"><span>traveling on this arduous journey all this time.</span> </span>The horses carrying the dried food were always falling into the water.</div><div><br /></div><div>Running out of dried food.<br />
<br />I have never encountered such a desperate situation while leading an army.</div><div><br /></div><div>The solider in front of the horse finally couldn't help, but pull my horse's rein: "General Pei, if we go further, I am afraid that no one will be able to come out alive."</div><div><br /></div><div>I did not answer,<span style="background-color: white;"> I just cheered them on</span>: "Let's go to the open area ahead and make a fire! <span style="background-color: white;">Roast some dry food to eat!"</span></div><div><br /></div><div>It was snowing more and more, only a few people responded <span style="background-color: white;">feebly</span>.<br />
<br />I know that the morale of the Yu Lin army was almost at its limit. Originally, these Yu Lin soldiers were the children of prominent officials from the Capital. Before heading to a foreign country, many of them thought that it was very easy to obtain <span style="background-color: white;">military merits</span>. When they had left the Capital, they went hunting, everyone was excited.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Before they had fought in battle with the support of the army from the Anxi Protectorate. The Yu Lin army was only the </span><span>rear army, </span><span>when the enemy broke through, they rushed in disorder and thought that it would be a bloody battle.</span><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">It wasn't until we had entered the valley, that they had finally encountered the real enemy.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>But we cannot retreat.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Because we haven't found the Crown Prince yet.<br /><br /></div><div>That person whom I have served since childhood, who will become the ruler of the world.</div><div><br /></div><div>From the age of six, I knew clearly that I had to protect this person even if my life was in danger.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>In front of me, <span style="background-color: white;">the deep jade coloured foamy torrent had finally calmed down</span>. I could see a hillside ahead. Once the ground was even, I rode the horse and passed down an order. The army was on top of the slope, eating lunch. </div><div><br /></div><div>The snowy wind covered the sky, everyone suffered from the bitter coldness. </div><div><br /></div><div>I got off my horse and stood in front of the slope, watching the last person in front of me pass by. This time I told a soldier to pay attention to the falling rocks on the mountain. </div><div><br /></div><div>Bonfires had been set up, everyone around it shivered. </div><div><br /></div><div>The hard flat bread was the only dry food left. </div><div><br /></div><div>Several horses' hooves were injured and bleeding. The horses would stamp their hooves on the snow, soaking the snow with blood, which resembled a blossomed inauspicious flower. </div><div><br /></div><div>I ruthlessly unloaded the dry food on the horse's back and ordered someone to kill the injured horse. </div><div><br /></div><div>The smell of roasted horse meat lingered, and everyone was cold and hungry that their stomachs rumbled. </div><div><br /></div><div>I looked at the thousands of people left. More than half of the three thousand army of soldiers have already died, but the Crown Prince's whereabouts was unknown. If we continue to move forward, it would be more dangerous. If we retreat now, I am afraid that many people will also die before we can leave the valley.<br /> </div><div>It was a real dilemma.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was still snowing.</div><div><br /></div><div>When the horse meat was roasted, everyone got a piece, I also took one myself. I just took a bite, suddenly the soldier that was guarding the place called out: "Falling rocks! Falling rocks!" </div><div><br /></div><div>I was startled, the falling rocks were often accompanied by landslides. Almost everyone jumped up, I called out: "Stick to the mountain wall! Hurry and go up!" </div><div><br /></div><div>All the soldiers dodged the falling rocks, the mountain heights echoed a frightening muffled sound. My heart sank as soon as I heard that sound. This sound I had heard before, it was on that terrible night of the landslide. More and more rocks rolled down, which gradually became more concentrated. Some people were hit by the rocks and fell into the turbulence; some people's faces were covered with blood, lying on the ground and crying in despair. More people dodged the rocks while protecting their heads, trying to climb up the mountain. </div><div><br /></div><div>I suddenly saw a wide stone beam not far away, just like the eaves of a house, sticking out in midair. However if there was a landslide, I was afraid that such a large stone beam would fall down, and everyone would still be crushed into meat paste. But the rocks were like rain, more and more people were hit by it, falling into the turbulence. I could not hesitate. </div><div><br /></div><div>I called out: "Stone beam! Hide under the stone beam!" </div><div><br /></div><div>I dodged the falling rocks and pushed a soldier to the stone beam, who was almost hit by a falling boulder. Everyone also saw the huge stone beam lying in the middle of the mountain and climbed towards it. </div><div><br /></div><div>I pulled up a wounded soldier and a soldier who almost fell as a result of a misstep. The soldiers pulled up one after another. At last, I don't know how long it took, all of them finally hid under the stone beam. </div><div><br /></div><div>The falling rocks fell down like raindrops, we kept silent, looking at the falling rocks outside. </div><div><br /></div><div>A number of people were injured, they had clenched their teeth tightly without uttering a half groan. </div><div><br /></div><div>These past few days, many of the people and horses were injured. No one dares to say anything in front of me, however there was a rumour spreading around that this was a sacred mountain of Jie Shuo. If intruders disturb the mountain god, then the landslides must be the expression of anger by the mountain god. </div><div><br /></div><div>No one knows how angry the mountain god would be, there were more and more falling rocks outside, it became even more concentrated. If half of the hillside collapses like last time, I'm afraid that the stone beam will not be able to stop it. </div><div><br /></div><div>The muffled noise grew louder and nearer, and large boulders fell from the mountain. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm afraid there will be another landslide. </div><div><br /></div><div>The stone beam vibrated slightly and made a frightening noise. I don't know if there were too many huge rocks falling on the stone beam. Obviously, the stone beam was about to collapse. </div><div><br /></div><div>Everyone looked up at the stone beam, and there was despair on everyone's faces. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm not afraid of death, but I'm sorry that I didn't find the Crown Prince because I was disloyal; it was because of <span style="background-color: white;">injustice</span> that I led the soldiers to die here; I was unfilial to let my parents see me die before themselves.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-4-part-1.html"><Side Story 4 Part 1</a> <a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-4-part-3.html">Side Story 4 Part 3></a></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-66684797705298686602020-10-06T23:10:00.002-04:002020-10-09T22:17:55.027-04:00 东宫 Eastern Palace: The Flowers in the Pavilion Resembles the Snow Under the Moonlight (Part 1)<div>The title is a verse from the Song Dynasty poem, Spring Jade Pavilion, written by Cai Shen. The poem is about how people's lives within the vast world is like a droplet in the ocean, each and every moment, what is the importance of it?</div><div><br /></div><div>........................</div><div><br /></div><div>It was only the ninth month, but there were already a few snowfalls. It continuously snowed the whole evening.</div><div><br /></div><div>There was a fire in the tent, it was actually warm.</div><div><br /></div><div>When <span style="background-color: white;">I opened the tent</span> and walked inside, I suddenly realized that the Princess was gone.</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The milk in the bowl was unmoved.</span> I reached my hand out to touch the bowl, the milk was still warm, so the Princess must not have gone far.</div><div>
<br />The guard in charge of watching over the tent anxiously asked: "General Pei, should we immediately search the camp?"</div><div><br /></div><div>I shook my head and said: "No need to rush."</div><div><br />I walked out of the camp alone and found the Princess at the back of the mountain.</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>She sneakily gave </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">beef jerky to</span><span> a person with disheveled hair and </span>who was <span>covered with a felt blanket, living like a </span><span>savage person</span><span>.</span></div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">I did not walk up close yet</span>, but that person already pulled out the knife.</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The gleaming golden knife, which was given to the feng nu within the Jie Shuo camp. It was said that this knife was extremely rare in the Western Regions, which was given by the King of Jie Shuo to his most trusted maidservant, known as feng nu. After being selected during their early childhood, their tongue would be cut off to prevent leaking secrets. Feng nu are free to enter and leave the King of Jie Shuo's tent, gaining the trust of the King, living a luxurious life. Every day they would diligently practice their swordsmanship, able to hide during the night, and kill without relying on weapons. It was said that the nobles of the Jie Shuo clan's greatest fear was the golden inlaid knife. If anyone dared to be disloyal to the King, their heads would be cut off by the feng nu using the golden inlaid knife during the middle of the night within their own tent.</span></div><div><br />I stopped my footsteps, I raised the wooden bowl in my hands, showing them that there was only milk.</div><div><br />That <span style="background-color: white;">savage-like</span> feng nu slowly withdrew her golden inlaid knife, I placed the wooden bowl on the ground, quietly retreating. The Princess took a careful look at me before bending down to grab the bowl of milk.</div><div><br />That feng nu ate in a hurry, probably because she hadn't eaten anything in a while, hurrying to<span style="background-color: white;"> drink up the bowl of milk without leaving a single drop left</span>.</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>I turned around to leave, suddenly the Princess called me. Her Central Plain language was not spoken very well, she</span><span> stumbled in her words</span><span>, she said: "General, thank.....Thank you......"</span></span></div><div><br />I did not look back, I just stopped, and said: "Princess, no need to be polite."</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I didn’t expect her to be so impolite. The next day I saw the feng nu in her tent again, her hands and face were washed clean, her hair that was like felt fabric was cut short. She wore coarse clothes of a servant, resembling a young boy. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>The Princess was a bit embarrassed, and she stuttered, trying to explain to me: "A'Du...she...pity...me...stay." </div><div><br /></div><div>I looked at the few Central Plains maids who had been specially hired from the Anxi Protectorate, to serve the Princess. They all kneeled to the ground, trembling, afraid to get up. </div><div><br /></div><div>I finally said: "The army cannot take in people of unknown origin. Besides, she is from a different clan. Princess should not make things difficult for this subject." </div><div><br /></div><div>The Princess looked at me with her dark and bright eyes, rarely able to say a whole sentence: "But I am also from a different clan."<br /><br /></div><div>I calmly said: "Your Highness is the daughter of the King of Western Liang, the Princess that will be married to the Crown Prince in the arranged marriage, not from a clan of unknown origin."<br /><br /></div><div>The Princess slowly lowered her head. Outside, it started to snow again, the falling snow hit the tent, making rustling noises. </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">After walking south in the snow for several days, the feng nu seemed to still have not given up yet, following from behind, not too far and not too close, not hiding the traces she left behind. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>The trusted aide within the Yu Lin army couldn't help, but ask me: "General, do you want to kill?" </div><div><br /></div><div>I did not answer. </div><div><br /></div><div>Because the Princess was sick. </div><div><br /></div><div>Since expelling the feng nu that day, the Princess has been ill. </div><div><br /></div><div>She was very ill, a high fever that would not go away. Feeling dizzy, she would lay down in the carriage every day. There was no skilled doctor within the army, I am just worried that she would never recover. </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>During this night within the camp, the maidservant of the Central Plains, who served the Princess, came to me in a panic, saying that the Princess had fell unconscious, only afraid that this time it will not be good.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Although the Princess was very ill for the past few days, but she was still conscious. I wanted to enter the Princess's tent to take a look, but after thinking about it, I went to see the Crown Prince first. The Crown Prince was getting better day by day. When I entered the tent, he was practicing his swordsmanship. The Crown Prince has exceptional swordsmanship, but he would not expose this in front of other people. At this moment, he was in a good mood, doing a sword dance that could shock a dragon, as if there was a bright light by his side, the sword emitting that bright light. Suddenly, the sword was facing towards me.<br />
<br />I was not surprised.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>As expected, the sword's edge flicked past my ears, carrying a chilliness, cutting off the curtain. The snowflakes outside suddenly flew in, continuously landing on the lapel of my robe.</span><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I didn't reach out my hand to brush off the snowflakes. It was warm inside the tent, in a flash, those snowflakes gradually melted into water marks on my clothes and disappeared.</span><br /><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince smiled, putting away the sword and then said: "Ah Zhao, you came just in time. It's snowing again, I told them to roast lamb meat, let's drink some wine and warm ourselves tonight."<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I said: "The Princess is very ill, does your Highness want to go over and take a look?"<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The smile on the Crown Prince's face disappeared in an instant, he said: "That ugly person, I don't want to see her."<br /><br /></div><div>I said: "Your Highness is dissatisfied with this marriage. This subject thinks that since we are returning to the Capital, instead of binding the problem to ourselves, we could just end it now."<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince stared at me with bright eyes: "How do you want to end it?"<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>I said: "The Princess is very ill, if she die along the way, it would not be a major issue. We could ask the King of Western Liang to choose another princess for the arranged marriage. If the King of Western Liang does not have any other daughters suitable for the marriage, it is also possible to choose someone from other countries in the Western Regions such as Kucha. Other princesses could be chosen as long as it is a princess from the Western Regions."</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince pondered for a moment, but finally he shook his head: "Although you have led the Yu Lin army well and there seems to be no informer within the army, but if we kill the Princess, father will definitely be unhappy."</div><div><br /></div><div>I said: "Your Highness don't worry, the Princess has been sick all along. Everyone in the Yu Lin army knows about this, so his Majesty would not suspect anything unusual."<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Hearing what I said, the Crown Prince was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, and said: "Forget it, even though that barbarian woman is hateful, it's not like she wants to marry me. She doesn't have a choice but to marry me, so why kill her."</span></div><div>
<br />I said: "Since your Highness has this intention, then why not go and see her. She is alone and her life will be tied to your Highness from now on. Your Highness can't bear to kill her, then just treat her indifferently."</div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince thought for a while, finally he was convinced by me.</div><div>
<br />I accompanied the Crown Prince to the Princess's tent. The Princess still has a high fever and was unconscious.</div><div><br /></div><div>Several maids were standing at the bedside trembling. When they saw us come in, they hurriedly bowed.<br /><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince absent-mindedly waved his hand, the maids quickly withdrew from the tent, I was about to bow and leave, when the Crown Prince suddenly called out.</div><div>
<br />"Ah Zhao, don't go."</div><div><br /></div><div>He complained: "Leaving me alone with a sick person, what were you thinking?"<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I could only turn around, and return to his side.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The Princess was very ill, there was a layer of white skin on her lips. A bowl of lukewarm goat milk was placed on the small table in front of the bed. The maids tried to feed it to her, but they couldn't even feed her half a spoon of milk. It seems that she will not recover. <br /> </div><div>The burning fever caused her to speak in non-Han language. Although I could understand non-Han language, I only heard her speak in Western Liang language, I could not hear clearly what she had said. </div><div><br /></div><div>Where would the Crown Prince have the patience to take care of a sick person, he just sat down for a moment before getting up to leave. </div><div><br /></div><div>I couldn't say much, so I could only lift up the hanging curtain of the tent for him to leave. Suddenly she mumbled: "Gu Xiao Wu..." </div><div><br /></div><div>I was so shocked that my face turned pale, I turned around to look at the Princess. She was very sick that she had lost consciousness, dizzily laying there. </div><div><br /></div><div>These three words seemed to have some sort of magical power, the Crown Prince couldn't help, but stop his footsteps. He turned around and looked at the Princess. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Princess was still feeling dizzy, calling out in a lighter tone, but still it could be heard clearly in Central Plains language: "Gu Xiao Wu."</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't know what expression was on the Crown Prince's face, but he suddenly covered his chest with his hand, as if it seemed like a sudden realization. I was shocked, suddenly many thoughts flashed through my mind. </div><div><br /></div><div>If he remembers everything, how should I deal with this situation. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince finally walked out of the tent. I followed him silently. The snow had stopped outside, and a crescent moon was shining on the desert. </div><div><br /></div><div>Nearby was the many army tents. A sound could be heard from a distance. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince finally lowered his hand and said: "Maybe I have exerted too much force when I did the sword dance, that's why my heart ached, as if I had been stabbed by someone." </div><div><br /></div><div>I said: "Do you want a doctor to be sent here?" </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince shook his head and said: "It's okay." Suddenly he said: "I didn't expect that this Western Liang Princess would have a lover from Central Plains." </div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't know what to say. </div><div><br /></div><div>He sighed again and said: "She is a really pitiful person." </div><div><br /></div><div>After escorting the Crown Prince back to the main camp, I was still worried, so I went back to the Princess's tent. As soon as I entered the tent, I found the two maids lying on the ground, obviously knocked unconscious. My heart sank, I silently drew my sword, carefully walked into the tent. </div><div><br /></div><div>Under the dim oil lamp, it was the feng nu who was holding the Princess, feeding her goat milk in small amounts. The Princess was so sick that she could not swallow anything, most of it overflowed after one spoonful. The feng nu was very careful, opened the Princess's mouth with the silver spoon, fed a spoonful, wiped off the overflowing goat milk with a cloth, and then fed again. </div><div><br /></div><div>The feng nu was very vigilant, she didn't wait for me to approach, she seemed to be aware of something, and suddenly pulled out the golden inlaid knife, standing there alertly. I lowered my sword, she saw that it was me, so she also slowly lowered her knife. </div><div><br /></div><div>She finally finished feeding the Princess the bowl of goat milk after some time have passed, but the Princess hadn't awakened yet, her breathing had become heavier. The feng nu seemed very pleased. She took out a herb, and then chewed it into pieces before feeding it to the Princess little by little, which took some time to do. </div><div><br /></div><div>The moon rose to the middle of the sky. I stood under the gentle slope, watching the feng nu quietly exit the tent. Before I approached her, she once again pulled out her golden inlaid knife. </div><div><br /></div><div>I blocked her knife with my sword, and we swiftly exchanged several moves under the moon, the moonlight reflected the sparks from the intersection of sword and knife. </div><div><br /></div><div>Finally I stopped my sword, I knew I couldn't kill this feng nu. </div><div><br /></div><div>She also put away her knife, still looking at me alertly like a small animal.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-3-part-4.html"><Side Story 3 Part 4 </a> <a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-4-part-2.html">Side Story 4 Part 2></a></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-66494559401523083082020-09-24T20:08:00.002-04:002021-01-19T19:33:04.622-05:00十年一品温如言 A Heartwarming Decade: Chapter 1 Introduction<p>Thinking about it, a few years have already passed.<br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white;">At that time, Ah Heng did not meet her husband yet; at that time, Ah Heng was worried about whether or not she was born from a rock.</span></p><p>Every time when she carried the wooden bench to Chief Wang's house to watch Sun Wu Kong [1], which broadcast on TV every year, her eyes would become teary. This one was the same as me.</p><p>Afterwards, she lowered her head and sniffed, heading home from Chief Wang's house. Her house was far away from the school in town. After school she would head home, through this same pathway.</p><p>In those seasons, in a town with thousands of households, with boats connected to one another resembling houses, alleys nearby streams, it was impossible to distinguish between spring and summer.</p><p>At that time, it was hard to say whether or not Ah Heng was born from a rock, but she was more fortunate than Sun Wu Kong. She was raised by her parents, and she has a younger brother who was bedridden.</p><p>The younger brother was kind and well-behaved, named Yun Zai, born with a heart disease.</p><p>Yun Zai was raised by the medicine that was prepared by her. Wherever Ah Heng goes, Yun Zai would be able to guess.</p><p>During childhood, Ah Heng would often be bullied by the kids in town, being called 'bastard.' When she returned home, she would always be unhappy.</p><p>At that time, Yun Zai's illness was slowly getting a bit better, so he was able to learn words from her. She taught her younger brother words, handing him medicine while muttering: "Mother gave birth to you, but not me. Where did I come from?"</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">For many years, Yun Zai's lips did not show any healthy flush of colour, staring at the bowl of medicine, thinking for a while before he finally said with his colourless lips: "Sister, you are born from a rock."</span></p><p>Ah Heng thought of Sun Wu Kong, but then remembered that her younger brother on the bed has never watched Sun Wu Kong before. "Oh," she said, reluctantly accepting this answer.</p><p>But she did not know of the time when Yun Zai's health had improved just a little bit, he had secretly gone to Chief Wang's house to watch the first episode of Journey to the West.</p><p>The town was small, so a lot of the knowledge was obtained through biology class in junior high school.</p><p>But it’s better not to know too much because that knowledge could collide with your own beliefs.</p><p>Fine, so maybe I am not born from a rock, but what do my parents look like?</p><p>Ah Heng thought of Yun Yun [2], who had created countless characters for herself. When Ah Heng watched Little Dragon [3], she thought a goddess had given birth to her; when she watched Sinful Debt [4], she sang "My father's home, my mother's home," believing that maybe her parents were educated youths [5]?</p><p>In other words, children just worry too much.</p><p>Afterwards she was busy dealing with Yun Zai’s illness. As she slowly grew up, she gradually learned how to keep her thoughts to herself.</p><p>Father was the only doctor in town, his medical skills he learned had been passed on from generation to generation.</p><p>But he couldn't save his own son.</p><p>At the age of 13, Yun Zai was already critically ill, but they did not have the money to go see the doctor.</p><p>Yun Zai had developed a high fever, she hugged her younger brother who was thin to the bones, and awkwardly said: "Don't be afraid, I will give you half of my heart, they said after surgery you will get better. I will give you half of my heart, then we can survive together."</p><p>Yun Zai smiled, his lip showed signs of colour for the first time.</p><p><span style="background-color: white;">When there was almost no hope left, a very expensive car that was driven from a place farther than the capital city arrived.

I coldly said: "If it is something that will displease the Crown Prince, don't try to do it again."</div><div><br /></div><div>I felt that the Crown Prince was becoming more and more like the Emperor, they were the type of people that would maintain one's composure, but keeping everything to themselves. </div><div><br /></div><div>He was someone that will become the Emperor, how could he not be like his father?<br /><br /></div><div>My father was unwilling to give up, trying again one last time. As a result, he lost everything.<br /><br /></div><div>I was expelled from the Eastern Palace and confined in a secluded palace room.<br /><br /></div><div>I could probably guess what the situation was at home.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>My father was beheaded for the crime of conspiracy. All males in the family who were over twelve years old were in trouble, twelve years old and under were </span><span>exiled to a place thousands of miles away</span><span>. As for the women, how could they not be affected when they are in the same family.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>When it started to rain, I stretched out my fan to catch the raindrops, which dripped on the surface of the white silk fan, soaking the fan like tears.<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>A'Wu said: "Don't worry your ladyship, the Crown Prince is perhaps just angry at the moment. Besides, there is also the minister's support, so it is not something your ladyship should worry about. There will be bad times, but </span><span>misfortunes could turn into blessings</span><span>."</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>I felt too lazy to talk.<br /><br /></div><div>A'Wu didn't know the situation outside, my whole family was already destroyed.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>When will there be bad times that turn into blessings, the best time of my life have already passed.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>Fortunately, this lifetime will not be long, and the remaining days will not be difficult to pass.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The rain gradually became bigger</span><span>, some of the rain drifted under the eaves and fell on the lapel of my clothes, dampening the clothes and sticking to the skin.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>I lowered my head and saw the red mark on my chest, it was the burn from eating crabs with the Crown Princess. Although the injury has gotten better, but it left a red scar that resembled a flower.<br /><br /></div><div>What was I thinking at that time, the Crown Princess was really pitiful.<br /><br /></div><div>However I did not expect that I would become the most pitiful person.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The sound of the rain was getting louder, the loud sound of raindrops hitting the plantain leaves could be heard. I sat in front of the window, watching the sky finally darken.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>The sky was dark.<br />
<br />Li Cheng Yin came during the night. I thought that I would never be able to see him again in this lifetime.</div><div><br /></div><div>However he still came, <span style="background-color: white;">he carried a scent of cold rain</span>.<br /><br /></div><div>I looked at him with a bit of sadness.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>He looked calm and sat down in front of a box.<br /><br /></div><div>He said: "I know that you wanted to see me."<br /><br /></div><div>I said: "Thank you, your Highness."</div><div>
<br />That being said, I was too lazy to rise from my seat and bow to him. I no longer cared about the etiquette and respectability.</div><div><br /></div><div>A'Wu looked at me anxiously, I waved my hand to signal her to leave.<br />
<br />She was very anxious, repeatedly turning around to look at me.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I hardened my heart not to look at her</span>, but just looked at Li Cheng Yin with a smile. A'Wu perhaps felt that the arrival of the Crown Prince was an opportunity for me to beg for forgiveness, so that I could return to the Eastern Palace.<br /><br /></div><div>The Eastern Palace seemed like a really remote and unfamiliar place.<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">The servants lifted the candles, all the candles were lit in the room. Being confined here for so many days, it seemed that it has never been so bright before.</span></div><div>
<br />Li Cheng Yin's face was still <span style="background-color: white;">bright under the candlelight.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I suddenly thought of his birth mother, Consort Shu.<br />
<br />Within the harem, she was a woman that was like the bright moon.</div><div><br /></div><div>What did she think about before she died?<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Her son, or the favoritism she received that aroused the jealousy of the harem.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>Or the huge secret that ultimately <span style="background-color: white;">caused</span> her death.<br />
<br />The servants served us food and wine. Just like the countless nights spent in the Eastern Palace, I sat opposite to him, eating the food together.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tonight, the dishes were all my favorites.<br />
<br />It must be difficult for him to still be able to remember.</div><div><br /></div><div>I held the chopsticks, ate a little, and then placed it down.<br /> </div><div>He asked: "You don't want to eat anymore?"<br /><br /></div><div>I shook my head.<br /> </div><div>The servants all left, the candlelight reflected on us. </div><div><br /></div><div>The shadows were reflected on the same spot, just like the intimacy we had before. </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I remembered many days of the past. After dinner, he would sometimes read a book, so I quietly snuggled beside him, watching the dark night outside the window, and the moon gradually rising. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>The moon was shining on the two of us, I lay quietly on his lap, it was so quiet at that time.<br /> </div><div><span style="background-color: white;">During spring when the apricot flowers beyond the curtains have blossomed, he would pick the flower and put it in my hair. During summer when I covered his face with lotus leaves, he would push them aside with a smile, using the lotus flower petals to make a fragrance for me. During autumn, we would enjoy the chrysanthemum flowers while eating crabs. When it snowed during the winter, the two of us would lean by the brazier while listening to the sound of falling snow outside the curtains. </span></div><div><br /></div><div>At that time, I wholeheartedly believed that the one in front of me was my beloved. Between heaven and earth, a pair of lovers that would never betray each other, and never forget each other for lifetimes. </div><div><br /></div><div>How stupid and crazy. </div><div><br /></div><div>Until now, I really woke up from this big dream, looking around at a loss. </div><div><br /></div><div>I suddenly smiled and said: "Your Highness was willing to come and see me, I'm afraid you wanted to ask about what happened to Consort Shu that year." </div><div><br /></div><div>After all, I know what the Zhao family has done that year. </div><div><br /></div><div>He faintly said: "That's not important anymore."<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Yeah, that doesn't matter anymore. He has already taken revenge, no matter what the deposed Empress did, no matter what the Zhao family has done, it didn't matter anymore.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>That situation in the past was just an excuse for him to kill the people he should kill, remove the forces that should be cleared, and sit firmly in the position of the Crown Prince until the future, when he could grasp the world with his hands.</span><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I said: "Your Highness is really a cold-hearted person, I thought that your Highness have already cut off all emotions and desires. If I hadn't seen your Highness push the cat into the water with my own eyes, I would have thought that your Highness would not be this direct in showing your hatred."</span><br /><br /></div><div>He did not move despite my words, so what if he drowned Xiao Xue, besides the Crown Princess will never know.<br /><br /></div><div>But I know, however I will not tell her.<br /><br /></div><div>That stupid girl, let her live in her own stupidity.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I said: "Your Highness thought that killing the cat, she would not like General Pei anymore? If you like someone, you won't change just because you lost something."<br /></span><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince still did not say anything.<br /><br /></div><div>I smiled, but suddenly I felt completely disheartened.<br /><br /></div><div>"Your Highness has given me medicine for three years, just to prevent me from being pregnant. <span style="background-color: white;">Your Highness is such a cold and indifferent person, but likes the Crown Princess so passionately?"</span><br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>I had thought that you secretly ordered people to put medicine in my food to prevent me from being pregnant, deliberately hurting my feelings was just to protect me from being harmed by the Empress.</span><br /></span>
<br />But it turns out that it was <span style="background-color: white;">my own delusions</span>.</div><div>
<br />The Crown Prince still did not say anything. Even though I had mentioned the Crown Princess, he still did not want to look at me.</div><div>
<br />I thought that there was no need to say more.</div><div><br /></div><div>I asked him: "Is there any wine?"<br />
<br />I knew there was a wine bottle on top of the box, but I still asked him.</div><div><br /></div><div>He was silent for a while, before he raised his hands and clapped.<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Just like before when I was still in the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince did not like too many people being around him. Every time he came, he would tell the rest of the people to leave. At that time, I felt very happy, it was only the two of us together.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Sometimes I would be thirsty in the middle of the night and wanted to drink a cup of water, he would clap his hand like that. When the servants outside the palace hall heard it, they would step forward and obey the orders.<br /><br /></div><div>At this very moment, I was still thinking of these irrelevant trivial matters.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The clapping sound echoed in the night, the sound of rain could be heard from outside the curtains. This summer rain, how can it be so long and <span style="background-color: white;">sorrowful</span>, like the autumn rain.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>There were distant footsteps approaching.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Someone held a tray with the glass bottle of wine, a very fragrant wine.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>That person respectfully placed the wine on the table, and then bowed before leaving.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>From beginning to the end, he did not look at me.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I stretched out my hand to grab the bottle of wine, pouring myself a glass of wine.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>My fingers were trembling slightly, but luckily the wine did not spill out.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I looked at the wine in my glass cup, it seemed like a good wine, the wine had an amber colour. The fine wine of Lanling had an aroma like tulips, the filled jade cup emitted an amber hue [1]. I raised my cup and drank the wine without hesitation.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The wine feels strong when it went down my throat.</span><br /></span> </div><div>I remembered a long, long time ago, when I first entered the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince had ordered me to temporarily live in the Congyu hall, not far from the Lizheng hall where he lived. I actually liked this arrangement.<br /> </div><div>The Congyu hall was a good place to enjoy the rain. During a hot summer, a waterwheel was installed in the canal. When the summer was hot, the water would flow from the canal and poured on the roof tiles like a refreshing waterfall. </div><div><br /></div><div>What I liked most was the roof tiles on top of the Congyu Hall, each of the roof tiles was engraved with the pattern of mandarin ducks in pairs, cuddling each other. </div><div><br /></div><div>Each mandarin duck roof tile was washed with water from the canal, clean and spotless, like a black jade. </div><div><br /></div><div>What was I thinking at that time?<br /><br /></div><div>If the lord was the moon in the sky, then I would be the flower in the water [2].</div><div><br /></div><div>To accompany each other, like a shadow.<br /><br /></div><div>But it turns out, the heavy frost made the cold ceramic roof tiles seem bright, under the cold green comfort, with whom could he spend the night [3]? </div><div><br /></div><div>The poison was slowly reacting, I could not see clearly anymore. I could no longer see his silhouette clearly, only seeing that he seemingly stood up, and then turned around to leave me. </div><div><br /></div><div>I know that in this life, I will never be able to see him again. </div><div><br /></div><div>This separation was long and painful. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was leaning on the table, blood was seeping through my nose and mouth, facing death was not sad, I felt relieved. </div><div><br /></div><div>There were three things that I actually wanted to say to the Crown Prince. </div><div><br /></div><div>I knew that he had killed the cat, but used this matter to force the Zhao family to deal with it. In the end, he expelled me from the Eastern Palace.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I knew that he have given me medicine for three years to prevent me from being pregnant, so when Xu Niang was pregnant, I was so angry that I made an unwise move. </div><div><br /></div><div>I knew that even so, I can't help but like him, just like a long time ago when it started. </div><div><br /></div><div>But the last thing, I was unable to say it out loud.<br /><br /></div><div>So let it be. </div><div><br /></div><div>The blood flowed faster, instantly soaking into my clothes. My eyes gradually couldn't see anything, I couldn't control my body, falling down and knocking the food box.<br />
<br />Suddenly, I thought of the Crown Princess. </div><div><br /></div><div>I don't know whether or not she has learned how to eat crabs yet. </div><div><br /></div><div>I don't know why I suddenly thought of her, perhaps because, when she heard that Xu Bao Lin had died, she was sad for a long time. I don't know if she would feel sad after I die. </div><div><br /></div><div>Within the Eastern Palace, if there was someone that would be sad for me, I am afraid it would be her. </div><div><br /></div><div>The sound of rain, I gradually could not hear it, the world finally became silent.</div><div><br /></div><div>......................<br />
<br />Translator's Note: To be honest, I didn't have a good impression of Zhao Se Se when I read the main story, but when I read this side story I just pitied her. She is just like the discarded fan in the poem, she was cherished by Li Cheng Yin, but when she was no longer useful to him, he discarded/killed her. All she wanted was for that one person to love her, but was never able to receive his love.</div><div><br /></div><div>On another note, if anyone wants to read this author's other novels, I recently found a blog that is translating two of her novels: Brittle and Siege in fog. You can click <a href="https://www.shushengbar.net/?p=10642">here</a> to read it. That website has the link to the translations. It's not found on novel updates because the translator does not want aggregator sites to copy their translations, so don't link their translations on novel updates.</div><div><br /></div><div>We will also be starting our next translation project very soon because we couldn't wait any longer. The majority voted Heartwarming Decade as our next translation project, so we will be translating that novel.</div><div><br />Notes:</div><div>[1] This verse is from a poem known as Journey to a Foreign Land, written by the famous poet, Li Bai.

Even though they have been married for three years, the two of them have not been intimate with each other.<br /></div><div> </div><div>One day the spy by the Crown Princess's side had quietly report back saying that the Crown Princess had went to sleep during the afternoon in her palace residence, and that his Highness had visited her, dismissing all the servants including that servant from Western Liang.<br /></div><div> </div><div>She thought it was something great, so she came to report to me.</div><div> </div><div>I was still very calm, and laughed: "What else can it be, they were just having fun. His Highness just wanted to scare her."<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">During the evening, the Crown Prince came to my palace. When he has nothing to do, he would often come over and have dinner with me. I was doing my makeup in front of the makeup table, he picked up a scroll to read, a long time have passed, and he was still reading the same scroll. I glanced at him through the mirror, and pretended to ask unintentionally: "What is troubling your Highness today?"<br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Crown Prince was surprised and startled, smiling while asking me instead: "Why do you say so?"</div><div>
<br />I casually said: "The scroll in your Highness's hand, you have been reading it for a long time."</div><div><br /></div><div>He lowered his head to read the scroll, then put the scroll aside, smiled and said: "Tomorrow I will be meeting up with Prince Wu to play polo, I was just thinking how I can win him."<br /><br /></div><div>I suddenly felt bad.</div><div>
<br />There was no wind during the afternoon, the curtains were hung in all directions, I stared at the Crown Prince from afar through the curtain.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">He was sitting on the Crown Princess's bed, and did not do anything. The Crown Princess was in a deep sleep, like a baby. He sat next to her for a while, suddenly he looked around before reaching out his hand to lift up her long hair that was scattered on the pillow, he divided her long hair into several strands, then used a hairband to carefully tie her hair onto the wooden pillar that supported the curtain.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>While he was doing such a thing, he snickered and laughed happily.<br /><br /></div><div>Like a mischievous child.<br /><br /></div><div>If the Crown Princess <span style="background-color: white;">woke up and got up</span><span style="background-color: white;"> without noticing her hair was tied on the wooden pillar</span>, her scalp would be in pain.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>This type of mischievous prank was not something the steady Crown Prince would do.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>But the Crown Princess often cause trouble, so letting her suffer a bit wasn't necessarily a bad thing.</div><div><br /></div><div>As I was about to turn around and leave quietly, the Crown Princess who was on the bed started to move, and suddenly woke up.</div><div>
<br />As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the Crown Prince and was clearly shocked, she shouted and was about to sit up.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">She used so much force to get up, even I was a bit startled. I am only afraid that she will pull off half of her hair. At this time, the Crown Prince seemed as though he did not expect that she would suddenly wake up, he suddenly reached out his hand to push her back onto the bed.</span></div><div>
<br />The Crown Princess's head had hit the wooden pillow hard, she shouted in anger: "Li Cheng Yin what are you doing?"</div><div><br /></div><div>She was moving like a fish on the bed, the Crown Prince almost couldn't hold her down, finally he suddenly spoke in anger: "If you keep moving, I will kiss you."<br />
<br />The Crown Princess was so shocked that she immediately covered her mouth with her hand, and stopped struggling, looking at him with her big dark eyes. It suddenly occurred to me that her eyes were like a cat, so moist and clear that a person's reflection could be seen through her eyes.</div><div><br /></div><div>The room became quiet, with just the two of them looking at each other. The Crown Prince leaned over, pressing onto her shoulders, and her eyes looked at him. I hid behind the screen, I could only see the side of the Crown Prince's face, <span style="background-color: white;">so I didn't know what was his expression</span>.</div><div>
<br />It was as if a spell was cast on them, the two people did not move even after some time have passed.</div><div>
<br />I was suddenly worried.</div><div>
<br />Right when I was feeling uneasy, the Crown Prince suddenly got up and without saying a word, untied her hair from the wooden pillar.</div><div>
<br />After the Crown Princess's hair was untied, her hair was messy like a round black cloud spread over her pillow.</div><div>
<br />The Crown Prince turned around and left.</div><div>
<br />The Crown Princess just sat there, it took a long time before she angrily said to herself: "What's so great about being so angry all day long."</div><div><br /></div><div>She got up and tidied her clothes. She sat in front of the mirror and brushed her hair.<br /><br /></div><div>Her hair was very knotted, so it was very difficult to comb. While she was combing, she suddenly stopped again, rested her cheek on her hand and stared blankly at the mirror. I didn't know what she was thinking.<br /><br /></div><div>I quietly left.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Because I was afraid that I would be seen by others, I walked through the alley, bypassing the Qingliang palace, and going back to my own courtyard. When I got out of the small door in the alley, I saw the Crown Prince standing on the bridge alone. He doesn't seem to know what he was thinking, standing there quietly, looking at the sky.</span></div><div>
<br />I looked up, there was nothing in the sky, just a few white clouds.</div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">He looked at the sky, I looked at him, a long time have passed but he did not move, I also didn't move.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I thought of the Crown Princess sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, I couldn't tell what I felt at that moment.</div><div>
<br />He didn't do anything, just silently standing there alone, this kind of feeling was worse than killing me.</div><div>
<br />I deeply regret that I had underestimated the Crown Princess, she turned out to be one of my <span style="background-color: white;">biggest troubles</span>.</div><div> </div><div>I remained calm, hiding my thoughts carefully.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">It wasn't until the Crown Princess was taken away that I felt the opportunity had come.</span></div><div>
<br />Of course I hoped that she would die outside and never return to the Eastern Palace.</div><div><br /></div><div>Father had sent his most trusted swordsmen and assassins, as soon as the opportunity comes, they would kill the Crown princess outside of the Eastern Palace to get rid of this trouble.</div><div>
<br />Besides she was taken by the assassin, so the possibility of her surviving was low.</div><div>
<br />I thought that this disgusting and stupid woman would never show up in front of me again.</div><div>
<br />On the night of the Lantern Festival, for the first time the Crown Prince have asked me to accompany him to the Cheng Tian Gate to enjoy the lights and the night with the citizens.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was surprised and happy.</div><div>
<br />That was the privilege of the Crown Princess.</div><div>
<br />Although the Crown Prince favors me, he has never taken me to the Cheng Tian gate, after all he has to give a bit of respect to the royal family. The rules have always had to be followed.</div><div>
<br />Although he has also never taken the Crown Princess to the Cheng Tian gate.</div><div>
<br />I was extremely happy.</div><div>
<br />I got up early and waited for the Crown Prince.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">The situation of the Crown Princess being taken by the assassin was a very confidential matter, the Crown Prince did not seem to be anxious. The Emperor had caught a cold, so he could not personally come to take control of the Cheng Tian gate. However the Emperor had specially ordered the Emperor's carriage to be used by the Crown Prince. The citizens outside would not be able to tell the difference of who is inside, as long as they see the imperial banners sway, they would shout long live the Emperor.<br /></span><br /></div><div>I was in front of the Cheng Tian gate, the Crown Prince has arrived already. The servant next to him came by my side to lead the way, carefully carrying the lamp, <span style="background-color: white;">shining it on the pathway ahead</span>.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Step by step, I walked up the Cheng Tian gate. Although I was still wearing clothes of a Liang Di, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous because the Crown Prince had used the Emperor's carriage and the Cheng Tian gate was surrounded by the Jin Wu army.</span><br /></span> </div><div>The Crown Prince stood alone on top of the Cheng Tian gate, with a few sparse shadows, looking at the sea of lights from above, not knowing what he was thinking.<br /> </div><div>Recently he was often like this, making me feel that the person who slept beside me for three years, who should have been intimate, was getting farther and farther away from me.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The servant was standing on the side holding a gold plate, I saw the cloak on the gold plate. I took the cloak and walked to the front of the gate tower. The light reflected my silhouette, my golden hairpin shook as I walked, cloud-like hair with an appearance that resembled the flowers. I slowly approached him from behind, helping him put on the cloak.</span><br /></span> </div><div>He turned his head to look at me, he did not say anything.<br /><br /></div><div>The alleys and streets was like a chessboard. The east wind blew the flowers and trees during the night, the stars were like rain.</div><div> </div><div>I heard the noisy sounds of the drums, there was the dragon dance in the distance, spurting out fire. There were countless lanterns hung on the trees, like thousands of stars falling down and sinking into this world.<br /> </div><div>Baskets of money were carried to the front of the gate tower. The palace maids grabbed the money and sprinkled it from the top of the gate tower. Everyone was trying to grab the money. The people downstairs thought that the Emperor was at the gate tower, they suddenly shouted "Long live the Emperor" and did a worship dance.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>I thought although this was the first time, the following years to come in the future will be like this year where I will be standing here with him, standing on top of this bustling city, overlooking this dreamlike Chang'an, overlooking these beautiful rivers and mountains.</span><br /></span> </div><div>This world belongs to him, and I will stand by his side.<br /> </div><div>The Crown Prince stood at the top of the gate tower for a moment, and then said to me: "I will enter the palace to see my father, you can take care of this." </div><div><br /></div><div>I said: "Don't worry."<br /> </div><div>I know there wasn't any rites that need to be performed, but I need to wave at the citizens underneath the curtains, and then order people to throw some money from time to time to add excitement to this prosperous scene.<br /> </div><div>The Crown Prince led some people downstairs, and the whole Jin Wu army that was surrounding the gate tower had followed him. At that moment, more than half of the people at the gate tower had left.<br /> </div><div>I turned around and ordered the palace maids to get some more money.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I don't know why, but as soon as the Crown Prince had left, I felt that the Cheng Tian Gate fell silent in an instant, it was terribly quiet. The bustling noises in the distance could still be heard, the citizens below were still shouting long live the Emperor. Money were thrown from the gate tower, the clanging sound echoed loudly, like a rainstorm.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>But within these voices and noises, there was still a feeling of loneliness.<br /><br /></div><div>I suddenly wanted to drink some wine.<br /><br /></div><div>A’Wu had ordered a servant to bring a crystal glass cup and pour a full cup of grape wine for me. I drank a sip. When I remembered this wine was from the Western Regions, I couldn’t help but feel <span style="background-color: white;">dispirited</span>.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>As I was about to order a servant to switch the wine to Shaochun wine, I </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">suddenly </span><span>heard the palace maids screaming within the gate tower. I don't know when it happened, but lamp oil must have been spilled.</span><span> The gate tower started to burn in flames a moment after, it ignited and spread quickly</span><span>.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>I was still very calm. The commander went to inform the general of the Jin Wu army, but also sent someone to inform the palace. Right after that, the fire became larger and larger, and because everyone was unable to put out the fire, <span style="background-color: white;"><span>several places were ignited.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>A'Wu supported me with her hand, wanting to go downstairs anxiously, but who knew the steps of the gate tower would be filled with smoke, causing people unable to open their eyes. Someone nearby was so scared that they cried, it was an eunuch. I scolded and said, "What are you panicking for!" Before I could hear his words, <span style="background-color: white;">the fire suddenly grew fiercer</span>, blocking the pathway.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The smoke grew thicker. Like a black dragon attacking everywhere, the place was surrounded by scorching flames. Everyone screamed, shouted, and ran away. I never expected for such a drastic change to happen within a moment. I watched the fire burn in front of me. When I was still standing there, suddenly someone grabbed me. As I was about to shout, I just felt my body became light. It turns out someone had actually lifted me up, he carried me with one hand, and grabbed A'Wu with the other hand, bringing us down away from the fire.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>I don’t know how I got through the heavy smoke and flames. I just felt that the fire was scorching, part of my hair was burned. I tried my best to hold my breath, using my silk cloak to cover my mouth and nose. I don't know how long it took before I realized that I was already at the bottom of the Cheng Tian gate. </span><span>The whole Cheng Tian Gate had been caged in the raging flames.</span><br /></span>
<br />I was placed down, so scared that I couldn't calm down. The man who saved me anxiously called me: "Your ladyship."</div><div><br /></div><div>The Cheng Tian gate became a huge fire, the flames lit up half of the night sky. I recognized through the light emitted by the flames that <span style="background-color: white;">the man was the servant who was arranged by my father to be by my side</span>. I only remember his surname was Lu, Xing Er. Everyone calls him Lu Er Lang, he was usually not very talkative.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">People kept escaping from Cheng Tian Gate. The palace maids had also escaped from the fire, the thick smoke had darkened their faces. Many people cried when they saw me, especially the servants who knew me. Everyone was anxious, they had tightly surrounded A'Wu and I, like a flock of frightened birds.<br /></span><br /></div><div>Behind me was the sound of horses' footsteps. It was very chaotic on the streets. In fact, every year when it was time to watch the lights, the Capital would prepare plenty of water in case the place catches on fire, but with this kind of intensity, <span style="background-color: white;">I am afraid the fire would not be extinguished in time.</span><br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Sure enough, an imperial edict was issued from the palace, allowing General Long Wu to personally lead the army to close all nine gates within the city while extinguishing the fire to save people.</span><br /></span>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Soon the streets resumed back to normal</span>, and I was sent back to the Eastern Palace.</div><div>
<br />Although I have been through a difficult situation, I quickly calmed down while I was in the carriage.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lu Er Lang had whispered a few words to A'Wu through the window. A'Wu turned around to relay his message to me, saying that the fire at the Cheng Tian gate was quite strange, and that I should be careful.</div><div>
<br />I nodded.</div><div>
<br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">When I had calmed down, I also felt that the fire was ignited in a strange way. The fire came too fast and too violently, but it was Cheng Tian Gate, who would dare to set such a fire under the eyes of the Emperor.<br /></span><br /></div><div>This was basically treason.<br /><br /></div><div>I thought, the fire was ignited to harm the Crown Prince. After all, the Emperor was ill and nursing his health, although not many people knew about it. <span style="background-color: white;">But even though not many people knew about it, the people who knew were not small in numbers.</span> People within the palace had known that the Emperor did not go to the Cheng Tian gate, so the Crown Prince had went instead.<br /><br /></div><div>Thinking of the Crown Prince, I suddenly felt worried. Fortunately, the Crown Prince had went back to the palace early, otherwise he would be in danger.<br />
<br />After a long time have passed, whenever I thought of that night, I felt that I was ridiculously stupid.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Who else could </span><span>put a fire</span><span> at Cheng Tian Gate and immediately </span><span>mobilize</span><span> General Long Wu to close the nine city gates, of course there was only one person.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>He could do such a thing under the eyes of his Majesty, when it was only to save the Crown Princess.<br />
<br />As for me, I finally figured it out. He actually wanted to burn me to death on the Cheng Tian gate.</div><div>
<br />Otherwise, why was the fire ignited in front of my eyes.<br /><br /></div><div>I didn't understand that he was such a cruel person until I saw that cat.<br /><br /></div><div>That cat was given to the Crown Princess by General Pei.<br /><br /></div><div>After she returned to the Eastern Palace, she was sick for a long time. Perhaps to make her happy, General Pei <span style="background-color: white;">specially</span> sent a cat to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess named the the cat Xiao Xue, she loves it very much.<br /><br /></div><div>Even though I like cats, I did not like that cat because the cat belongs to the Crown Princess.<br /><br /></div><div>But I did not expect that there would be someone who would hate that cat more than me.<br /><br /></div><div>Xiao Xue died when it was drowned in a pond.<br />
<br />The Crown Princess was heartbroken.</div><div><br /></div><div>After she returned to the Eastern Palace, she fell so ill that she was <span style="background-color: white;">thin to the bones</span> as if she was like a candle, a gust of wind would blow her away.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The Crown Prince then specially went out of his way to find another cat, which looked exactly like Xiao Xue, but I don't know where he bought it. I stood in the alley, watching him carefully hold the cat as if he was holding some kind of treasure. He walked in front of the palace hall, but he suddenly changed his mind, ordering someone to bring it to the Crown Princess. He waited outside the door.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>I suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he was standing on the bridge like this.<br /><br /></div><div>I actually knew at that time he was thinking of her.<br /><br /></div><div>To yearn, look at one another, but not be together in the end. Because of these affections, one would stand there alone silently.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I felt that I was just a joke.<br /><br /></div><div>When the situation happened, I didn't actually panic.<br /><br /></div><div>I knew that this day would come. He had planned it a long time ago, the Crown Prince was a man who would consider the next hundred steps when he takes one step. Even though I am a bit smart, I am not his opponent.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>A complete failure.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-3-part-2.html"><Side Story 3 Part 2 </a> <a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-3-part-4.html">Side Story 3 Part 4></a></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-66064404756310651742020-09-01T20:09:00.001-04:002020-09-10T22:22:04.768-04:00 东宫 Eastern Palace: Heavy Frost Made the Cold Ceramic Roof Tiles Seem Bright (Part 2)<div>However, the Crown Prince was not really happy, so I just accompanied him.</div><div> </div><div>Having lived in the Eastern Palace for a while, I often hear all kinds of strange things about the Crown Princess. She was actually younger than me, childish, born in an uncivilized foreign country, and would cause trouble everyday. People would make jokes about her. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince disliked her more and more.<br /> </div><div>My life in the Eastern Palace was very comfortable.<br /><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince respects and loves me. Besides not having the title of Crown Princess, I have everything else.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I know that Western Liang woman would not be able to become the Empress, the Crown Prince would depose her sooner or later and return what was supposed to be mine to me.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I will become the real Crown Princess. In the future, I will become the Empress. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was very sure. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Princess was not malicious to others, and even wanted to befriend me.<br /> </div><div>When she came to my courtyard for the first time, as soon as she walked down the steps, she fell down embarrassingly, like a careless child. I almost laugh out loud. I hurried went to help her, after all, she has the title of Crown Princess.<br /> </div><div>She pretended to talk to me, and I replied to her kindly.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I felt that she was very stupid, clumsy like a puppy.<br />
<br />After exchanging a few words, I can see through her and know what type of person she was.</div><div>
<br />She's as simple as a glass of clear water, you can see the bottom of the glass with a glance.</div><div><br /></div><div>Actually her thoughts weren't bad. For a while, I have played leaf card games with her every day.<br /><br /></div><div>When I casually praised her, she was very happy, and happily wanted to give me a pair of little boots.</div><div><br /></div><div>I would casually praise her more and more.</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyways the Crown Prince would hate her more, if I become more generous towards her. After all, I am already in an undefeatable position, so why not be more generous.<br /><br /></div><div>One time she accidentally saw the beaded rabbit and said: "Oh, I also have one of these as well, but it was made of grass seeds. When I was in Western Liang, someone..."<br /><br /></div><div>After she finished speaking, she stared blankly for a while, until she said in an embarrassed way: "I must have remembered it wrong. In Western Liang, we don't have such skilled craftsmen."<br /><br /></div><div>I just laughed, the Crown Princess did not know that it was not made by a craftsman, but was made by the Crown Prince himself.</div><div> </div><div>For some reason, the princess fell ill that night. She had a nightmare in the middle of the night, and then developed a high fever. Because she was not used to living in the Central Plains, she would often have nightmares, followed by a high fever. When she first entered the Eastern Palace, she would be sick for a while. I was worried that if she died of illness, the Emperor would blame the Zhao family, so I ordered people to carefully take care of her, as I am afraid something bad would happen. </div><div><br /></div><div>Fortunately, she had recovered.<br /><br /></div><div>This time she got sick quickly, but also recovered quickly, within a few days she was healthy and lively again. She came to find me to play. I didn't know where she got this set of silver crab hammers and other things, which she happily brought it to show me.<br /><br /></div><div>I saw that she took out the crab eating tools one by one from the embroidered bag, I couldn't help but laugh: "What is your Highness doing?"<br /> </div><div>She was still like a puppy that was almost wagging its tail. She said, "I don’t know how to eat crabs. It's almost the Double Ninth Festival [1], so there will be a crab feast within the palace. If I make a fool out of myself, then the entire Eastern Palace would lose face. You should quickly teach me!"<br /> </div><div>I was just speechless, I could only order someone to tell the kitchen to steam some crabs.<br /> </div><div>Two palace maids had brought water. The Crown Princess and I cleaned our hands, wiped the water off our hands with a soft cloth, and then sat at the table.<br /> </div><div>I was worried that the Crown Princess would feel embarrassed if the palace maids were here, so I told them to withdraw.<br /> </div><div>Sure enough, when the Crown Princess saw that the crabs were so big, she didn't know where to start.<br /> </div><div>I arranged all the silver tools for eating crabs and then I took a crab to show her how to eat it.<br /> </div><div>First I cut the crab claws and crab legs, and then I told her: "You open it here. These are the crab gills, it can't be eaten, so we remove it."<br /> </div><div>I used the silver tweezer to remove the crab gills because they were too small to disassemble. In order to see clearly, she leaned over and cuddled up next to me. Her big black eyes watched my every move, her eyes were full of admiration.<br /> </div><div>I patiently teared apart the whole crab little by little.<br /> </div><div>Then the removed crab shells were piled up on the table, in the shape of a white jade coloured cat.<br /> </div><div>Her eyes were shining brightly as she looked at the pile of crab shells that resembled a white jade coloured cat, then she looked at me and sincerely said: "You are amazing!"</div><div><br /></div><div>I just smiled.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I like cats, when I was not married yet, I raised a few cats. Before entering the Eastern Palace, my family had once bribed the servants who were close with the Crown Prince to ask them about the Crown Prince’s likes and dislikes. I know that the Crown Prince does not like cats, but I did not know the reason behind it. I thought maybe it could be because the Empress likes cleanliness, and doesn't like cats, so he developed this behaviour since childhood. As a result, I left all of my cats at my family’s house. After entering the Eastern Palace, I only raised a dog.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Although a dog is good, it is not a cat after all.<br /><br /></div><div>The Crown Princess said: "Li Cheng Yin is also very good at eating crabs, I saw that he could arrange the crab shells back to its original form after eating it. However he is not as good as you, who can rearrange it into a cat."<br /><br /></div><div>She always called Li Cheng Yin by his full name, which was very rude. I felt that she was pitiful, there was no one even in the Eastern Palace that could teach her how to speak properly. The Crown Prince didn’t like her, even the palace maids look down upon her, but she could still be happy everyday.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>I don’t know how such a stupid person grew up this big.</span><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Maybe the Western Liang people lack minds in such a way.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Princess talked as she took a crab from the steamer, wanting to learn how to tear the crab apart, just like the way I did. I did not expect she would be so clumsy, she pricked her hand with the silver chisel as soon as she opened the crab shell. The moment her hand was pricked, the crab flew out and landed on my chest.</div><div> </div><div>The crabs were just steamed, so it was very hot, I couldn't help but scream. The Crown Princess also jumped up in shock. She suddenly saw a basin of water soaked with chrysanthemum leaves next to her. She quickly picked up the silver basin of water and splashed it on me. </div><div><br /></div><div>My whole body was splashed with water, but it was not very hot. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Princess looked at me timidly: "Ah, there's a blister."<br /> </div><div>
I looked at my chest, there was a clear blister that had formed, and a few chrysanthemum leaves that were stuck on my dress, the silk cloak was dripping water, it was very embarrassing.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I said: "It's okay, I just need to change my clothes." I didn't call anyone, so I just opened the door and went inside to change my clothes.<br /> </div><div>The Crown Princess was unable to sit still, so she ran inside to help me.<br /> </div><div>These clothes were very complicated, if no one was there to serve you, they are actually not easy to wear, so I did not stop her.<br /> </div><div>She was careful not to touch the blister, gathered the clothes for me, and asked: "Does it hurt?"<br /> </div><div>It actually hurts a bit, but I shook my head.<br /><br /></div><div>She was very apologetic and said: "Sorry, I am so stupid."<br /> </div><div>For some reason, there was a strange feeling in my heart. Last time on my birthday, she sent someone to bring a bowl of longevity noodles. Of course, I didn't eat a bite. However I took the opportunity to be angry. His Highness naturally believed in me and reprimanded her for her actions.<br /> </div><div>Seeing her being so ignorant, even if she won't be deposed in the future, I'm afraid she won't be able to survive to become the Empress.<br />
<br />Compared to the Imperial Palace, the Eastern Palace was more dangerous.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Whether it's the Imperial Palace or the Eastern Palace, the women in the palace, who is easy to get along with?</span></div><div><br /></div><div>If it weren't for the <span style="background-color: white;">fear of the Emperor</span>, she would have died dozens of times.</div><div><br /></div><div>However she didn't notice anything, only feeling dejected: "Now Li Cheng Yin will not allow me to come and play with you."</div><div>
<br />The Crown Prince has never liked her, he even said several times, telling me not to interact with her.</div><div><br /></div><div>I generously said: "I won't tell his Highness."</div><div>
<br />The servants around me were the Crown Prince's people, even if I don't say anything, he would naturally know.</div><div><br /></div><div>She said: "Such a big blister, Li Cheng Yin will definitely see it when he comes back later."<br />
<br />The Crown Prince has been living with me everyday. There was no resentment in her words, as if the Crown Prince was not her husband.</div><div><br /></div><div>I said: "It doesn't matter."<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">I took a piece of flower facial decoration [2] from the makeup table, placed it on my lips to open it, and then stuck it onto my chest to cover the blister.</span></div><div>
<br />I smiled and said: "Look, now you can't see it."</div><div>
<br />The Crown Princess anxiously left. After going through all that, she still did not learn how to eat crabs.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">At night, the palace maids went out to light up the lamps. I was alone inside my room dressing up, I turned around and suddenly saw that there was a box on the windowsill.<br /></span>
<br />No one was around, I wondered how this thing suddenly appeared. I picked it up and opened it. Inside was a box of ointment and a letter. The handwriting was crooked, like a child who had started to learn how to write, I can't bear to read it. </div><div><br /></div><div>"This is the best ointment for burns that I got from outside. I told A'Du to send it to you for you to try and see if it works." The signature was 'Xiao Feng'.<br /><br /></div><div>This was the name of the Crown Princess, I don't know why she has such a strange name. It was said that the first words she had learned in Central Plains language was her name 'Xiao Feng,' as if someone had taught her before.<br /> </div><div>How can I use the ointment she sent, so I just placed it back in the box under the makeup table. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince still knew about me being scalded. Although I stuck a flower decoration on my chest in the afternoon, and the palace maids were dismissed while the Crown Princess and I were eating crabs, within the Eastern Palace, there was no such thing as big or small matters. So how could I hide this matter from the Crown Prince? I only said that I had accidentally scalded myself. He laughed and said, "You are still protecting that Western Liang woman."<br /> </div><div>I felt angry, no matter how bad she was, she was also an upright Crown Princess, the wife you should be close with could not be compared with a lowly servant, who had seduced the lord.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince knew that I was talking about Xu Niang, which was his heart sickness. When I mentioned her, he immediately did not speak.</div><div><br /></div><div>I knew that the Crown Prince treated Xu Niang differently, I don't know why he fell in love with her.</div><div> </div><div>Obviously Xu Niang's looks were not outstanding, and she was also a timid person. The Crown Prince have always had self control, and not fool around with other women. This was also something that I have always been proud of. Although there was also the Crown Princess, but he always treats me wholeheartedly.<br /><br /></div><div>Unexpectedly this Xu Niang suddenly appeared. I don't know why he favors her, the way he looks at her will always be a little different, as if he feel lost, but also doesn't know why.<br /><br /></div><div>I thought maybe he does not like her, but for some reason he was attracted to her. One time, I saw him unconsciously staring at Xu Niang's back, unexpectedly there was a sort of indescribable longing and yearning, like looking at a long-lost treasure.<br />
<br />I could not stand this. Although I don't argue with him, but whenever I mentioned Xu Niang, my tone of voice would change.</div><div>
<br />I know I should be more generous, since I will become the Empress in the future, who will be in charge of the harem.</div><div>
<br />I have always treated the Crown Princess with generosity.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>But I just felt angry.</div><div>
<br />I don't know why.</div><div><br /></div><div>Probably because I know he has never looked at me that way.</div><div>
<br />This thought was like a poisonous snake, biting me from time to time.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Sometimes I felt that living like the Crown Princess was actually good, she has no troubles at all and enjoys herself all day long. She doesn't care about anyone who mistreats her, she also doesn't even care about how the Crown Prince treats her. However sometimes she would cry because of homesickness.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Her home was too far away, and there was no reason for the Crown Princess to visit her parents. Even until death, she would never be able to go back to Western Liang.<br /><br /></div><div>I pitied her when I thought about this.<br /><br /></div><div>I never expected that Xu Niang would be pregnant, after all Li Cheng Yin had vowed that he would treat me wholeheartedly.<br />
<br />But in the blink of an eye, he has forgotten this oath.</div><div>
<br />I was so angry that I refused to see Li Cheng Yin.</div><div><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin was very embarrassed, I was determined to teach him a lesson.</div><div>
<br />Sure enough, Xu Niang was sent to the palace to <span style="background-color: white;">nourish the fetus</span>. With the Empress around, I knew that this child would never be born.</div><div><br /></div><div>I gradually calmed down. A man was like a fierce horse, you can't use a dagger to deal with it, instead you should cleverly put the bridle on him <span style="background-color: white;"><span>so that things would take its natural course.</span><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The Empress took advantage of Xu Niang's miscarriage, I was demoted to the status of a commoner and confined in the Eastern Palace.</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Even though Li Cheng Yin tried his best to protect me in front of the Empress, he couldn't visit me.<br /><br /></div><div>I didn't panic at all, because I knew I would be back soon.<br /><br /></div><div>Sure enough, because the Crown Prince was injured due to the assassination attempt, the Empress’s scheme was quickly exposed.<span style="background-color: white;"> <span>The Emperor even began to trace the cause of the death of Consort Shu, which happened more than ten years ago.</span><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>The Empress was eventually deposed, the positions in court have changed. I knew that the Crown Prince had been waiting for this day to happen for a long time.</div><div><br /></div><div>But I carefully concealed the joy in my heart.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Keeping one's emotions to themselves, planning before making a move, this is what the Crown Prince should be like.</span></div><div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span>It was just that things have changed slightly. I don't know when the Crown Prince started to change, suddenly his attitude towards the Crown Princess have changed.</span></span></div><div>
<br />One time when I walked down the corridor, I saw the two of them talking, he suddenly reached out and patted her head. <span style="background-color: white;">The Crown Princess unhappily covered her head with both hands and ran away.</span></div><div>
<br />I looked at the Crown Prince's smile from a distance. H<span style="background-color: white;">is eyes were full of smiles, as if he had done something particularly happy</span>, when in fact, he just patted her on the head.</div><div> </div><div>I placed a spy next to the Crown Princess. At first I didn't think that this person would be of any use, but for some reason, now I felt the situation was very suspicious, so I couldn't help but to order the spy to do some things for me, to observe the Crown Princess's every move.<br /> </div><div>Although the Crown Princess was like a child, I felt that she was more terrifying than Xu Niang.<br /> </div><div>Because even though she still did not go to visit the Crown Prince at all, the Crown Prince would unknowingly always find all kinds of excuses to go to her place.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was still fairly calm.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfp-MF2dhWQQHN_VT0NsETo0GSlb-BMrczp12jG-euoSZNVQLCLlCeclcujCzW2M4Qjmppz-ZW1PzaH7vBQlntkUFN3IA64xz2aNM2QT1eMhuc9h4m_uJ5PC56IZuayL2d-68ESWw6Hw8/s309/flower+decoration+%25281%2529.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="163" data-original-width="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfp-MF2dhWQQHN_VT0NsETo0GSlb-BMrczp12jG-euoSZNVQLCLlCeclcujCzW2M4Qjmppz-ZW1PzaH7vBQlntkUFN3IA64xz2aNM2QT1eMhuc9h4m_uJ5PC56IZuayL2d-68ESWw6Hw8/s0/flower+decoration+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div><div><img border="0" data-original-height="521" data-original-width="551" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOgEw0h25MnCe4SW6PCCG8WU0h9t2RJh59oshmoOAMRMvQ25LBzmhyK7zpEs3jsKX92wW3zL2d0ORKTN-5L2gstH_BH9zPcUslrRCQE-pAvdImuRCxJphfJ24qaDB4BxkI3D0nqubbm10/w200-h189/flower+decoration+%25282%2529.jpg" width="200" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Notes:</div><div>[1] 重九 Double Ninth Festival - This festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month, which it is named double ninth. Nine is a yang number and double nine would mean there is too much yang (negative energy), so it was a dangerous day. In order to lower the yang, people would climb the mountains and drink chrysanthemum wine. It was said that this day was originated from a myth where a devil showed up at ruhe river and people that lived near there had plague and died. A man by the name of Huan Jing, had almost died from plague, but decided to find an immortal to defeat the devil. When he found the immortal, the immortal taught him how to kill the devil. The devil would always come on this day. The method to defeat the devil was to use zhuyu leaves and chrysanthemum wine. When the devil smells the scent of the wine, it would get dizzy and Huan Jing would take this opportunity to stab it with the sword and kill it. Now this day is known as senior's day. Traditions of this day would be drinking chrysanthemum wine, climbing mountains and eating chongyang cake (it has nuts and jujube).</div><div>[2] 花钿 Flower Facial Decoration - It's a makeup technique in ancient times.

There were dragonflies in the courtyard, flying very low. The Tuberose flowers by the stairs have blossomed, when a dragonfly landed on the stem of the flower, only the leaves were shaking.<div><br /></div><div>There seemed to be a thunderstorm within the heat.</div><div>
<br />Sitting in the hallway would cause one to sweat quietly.</div><div><br /></div><div>A'Wu was afraid that I was depressed, so she quietly sat next to me, waving the fan for me.</div><div>
<br />I couldn't help but think back to the times when I was seven or eight years old, I was still a carefree child, as well as A'Wu, who always sits next to me, waving her fan and watching me learn how to read and write.</div><div><br /></div><div>The summer days were long. Because I saw the white silk fan in A'Wu's hand, I wrote a poem about the fan on the thin silk fan itself. </div><div><br /></div><div>"Made into a fan for joyous trysts, round as the bright moon. In and out of my lord's cherished sleeve, waved back and forth to make a light breeze [1]."<br /><br />The poem was only written based on the fan, I did not expect that when A'Wu saw it, her expression would change dramatically, she said to me, "Your ladyship cannot write this poem anymore."</div><div><br />I couldn't help, but look at A'Wu.</div><div>
<br />A'Wu said: "This poem is inauspicious."</div><div><br /></div><div>I then remembered the remaining second half of that poem: Often I fear the arrival of the autumn season, cool winds overcoming the summer heat. Discarded into a box, affection cut off before fulfillment [1].<br /> </div><div>It was the poem 'A Discarded Fan' by the former Han Dynasty's Ban Jie Yu, who was a famous and talented woman. She was also a well known Consort Xian, however her life did not end well. When she was in favor, she was afraid of being in the same carriage with the Emperor so she would refuse. After falling out of favour, she had lived in seclusion in the Chang Xin Palace with only scrolls that had a few words, which allows people to imagine that there would be such a woman that had lived before, who had written poems.<br />
<br />I actually didn't really care.</div><div><br /></div><div>Because I am going to be the Empress.<br /><br /></div><div>Being the Empress is naturally different from being a consort.</div><div><br /></div><div>Being an unfavored consort means you would have nothing, so you would worry about the gains and losses. However, the Empress is the wife that will be side by side with the supreme Emperor.<br />
<br />Not just me, my father is also quite expectant.</div><div><br /></div><div>We are the noble Zhao clan, so of course we are qualified to enter the harem.<br />
<br />When I was thirteen years old, I first met Li Cheng Yin, Prince Jin.</div><div> <br /></div><div>Among the many sons of the Emperor, he is the most special one.<br /><br /></div><div>His birth mother died young and he was raised in the central palace since childhood, he is the adopted son of the Empress.</div><div>
<br />My father once privately said: "It's a pity that he is not the Empress's own son, in the end there is still a distance in their relationship."</div><div>
<br />The Emperor also has some outstanding sons, I know that Prince Jin was not very much loved by the Emperor.</div><div><br />Consort Shu was the birth mother of Prince Jin, a secret legend in the palace. People would quietly talk about her because she was once only one step away from the position of Empress. There was no children in the Central Palace, Consort Shu was a wise person, people who have seen her before would praise her for being smart. She was able to guess the Emperor’s thoughts every time. It was rumored that the Emperor had once sent her a blank piece of paper, on which she calmly drew or wrote on the original paper, sealed it and then handed over to the envoy to send back, all of which satisfied the Emperor.<br /><br /></div><div>At that time, she was like a bright moon, shining brightly within the harem. Although not as bright as the sun, but when the moon was in the sky, the stars were dim in comparison. </div><div><br /></div><div>If she had a few more years, she would have definitely taken the position of Empress instead.<br /> </div><div>But she died.<br /> </div><div>In the harem, smart people don't always live long.<br /> </div><div>Especially very ambitious smart people.<br /> </div><div>Therefore, sometimes hiding a weakness is also a kind of real intelligence.<br /> </div><div>Prince Jin is this type of smart person.<br /> </div><div>He was not brilliant, nor did the Emperor have high expectations of him. Being stuck between his brothers, he was not outstanding.<br /> </div><div>But I know that he is really a smart person.<br /> </div><div>When my father was still hesitating between Prince Jin and Prince Zhu, I said I want to marry Prince Jin.<br /> </div><div>My father asked me: "Have you thought it through?"<br /><br /></div><div>I nodded. </div><div><br /></div><div>Actually my father didn't know that I had met Prince Jin once.<br /> </div><div>Not deliberately, but my brother and I went out to watch willow shooting [2], they said that it was Prince Jin, so I immediately looked back while on my horse.<br /> </div><div>He also rode his horse, while grasping onto his bow. He was smiling and talking to person beside him. </div><div><br /></div><div>I recognized the person next to him, it was the young master of the Pei family.<br /> </div><div>Pei Zhao has always been known as a jade-like person, because he was born with elegant and refined looks that excel others. There were some of his achievements listed in the chamber.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Unexpectedly, they treated each other equally as if they were the same status. </span><span style="background-color: white;">The two walked</span> side by side, like two newly made lotus arrows in the summer, reflecting each other. Suddenly, it occurred to me that if his Majesty was born with such a handsome appearance, and Consort Shu was a famous beauty, it was <span style="background-color: white;">natural</span> that Prince Jin would be this handsome. </div><div><br /></div><div>The drums had sounded again, it was Prince Jin's turn to shoot the willow. I couldn't help but stop my horse and deliberately take a look at his attempt to shoot.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Prince Jin rode his horse while holding onto his bow, as if accidentally, he shot an arrow.<br /> </div><div>That arrow was not extremely exceptional, but it was impartial, it hit the gourd tied to the willow branch, the gourd fell down to the ground, and the little siskin [3] inside the gourd flew into the sky, countless people applauded. Prince Jin covered his forehead with his hand, raised his head to looked at the siskin that was flying higher and higher. The sunlight reflected on his cheeks, there were sweat droplets on his face that was as clear and sparkling as dew droplets on a jade plate.<br /><br /></div><div>I watched him look into the sky, but for some reason I felt that he was very far away from me, like an unattainable dream. He was definitely just a few feet away from me. I refused to accept this, because ever since I was young, there was nothing that was unattainable.<br />
<br />I don’t know why I was bothered by this thought, maybe it was because the sun was scorching that day, but <span style="background-color: white;">the pride in the young man's eyes, it was as if it was inadvertently hidden in his expression</span>. I still remember that day he wore a brown non-Han clothing. The gold thread on the collar was shining brightly under the sunlight, his whole person seemed to be shining brightly.</div><div> </div><div>I thought, it must be him.<br /><br /></div><div>The historians have described Emperor Taizong as someone that was talented with the appearance of the dragon and phoenix.<br /><br /></div><div>I couldn't figure out what that was like until I saw Prince Jin. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was determined to marry him.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>My father hesitated a bit, I calmly said that if Prince Jin was the Crown Prince, then I would be the Crown Princess.<br /><br /></div><div>I know that my family was still hesitant, but fortunately on the bright side, because he is the adopted son raised in the central palace, he is the closest one to the position of Crown Prince.<br /><br /></div><div>All I need is for my family to help push him to that position when the opportunity comes. <br /><br /></div><div>My father was still hesitating. As a result Prince Jin was smarter than I thought, without waiting for my family to help him, he calmly sat in the position of Crown Prince.<br /><br /></div><div>Of course it was because Prince Wei had made a big mistake.<br /><br /></div><div>Prince Wei was just too impatient, the Emperor was still alive, but Prince Wei impatiently stretched out his hand, and even attempted to entrap his own brother, how could the Emperor tolerate him?<br /><br /></div><div>The brothers competed against each other for the position, but it was Prince Jin who easily won and became the biggest winner.<br /><br /></div><div>For a moment, everyone in court was shocked.<br />
<br />I secretly admired my own <span style="background-color: white;">foresight</span>. I knew that my father had<span style="background-color: white;"> expressed goodwill</span> to Prince Jin several times. Prince Jin, actually no, now the Crown Prince, he also was quite interested in marrying the Zhao family's daughter.</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't expect that the Empress would be the one who complicated the situation.</div><div><br /></div><div>She was probably very reluctant to see me become the Crown Princess, but she secretly instructed the ministers to persuade the Emperor to allow the Crown Prince to pacify the Western Regions, and then she planned out the political marriage.<br />
<br />I really could not calm down, I privately sent someone to inform the Crown Prince that I will meet up with him.</div><div>
<br />I knew that the Crown Prince would come, sure enough, he came on time.</div><div><br /></div><div>In fact, this was the first time that we have really met each other. In order not to be seen by others, I was wearing a veiled hat that covered my face. I saw him standing near the jade railing in front of the courtyard well, smiling at me.</div><div><br /></div><div>He smiled very beautifully, as if the sun that day was reflected on his face, his face that was like white jade, clear and bright.<br /><br /></div><div>I couldn't think of anything to say to him, the apricot blossom tree near the corner of the courtyard had <span style="background-color: white;">grew very well</span>, there was a siskin on one of the tree branches, pecking at the flower petals, <span style="background-color: white;">the golden bell used to protect the tree that was blown by the wind had sounded</span>. The siskin flew up, circled around and landed, still pecking flower petals.<br /><br /></div><div>I suddenly thought of that day of the willow shooting, that siskin, I don't know where it flew, could it be the one in front of me?<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">I swear I had the courage, and I had thought of a lot of things to say to him before the meeting, so I don’t know why when I got to meet him in person, I </span><span style="background-color: white;">suddenly</span><span style="background-color: white;"> felt that there was no need to say anything.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Sure enough, he understood what I was thinking.<br /><br /></div><div>He snapped the tree branch and then gave me an apricot blossom, said, "Please rest assured."<br /><br /></div><div>I took the branch of apricot blossom, elegant and fragrant, that flower also symbolizes luck. I finally said: "I only hope that your Highness succeed, and return shortly after.”</div><div> </div><div>I embroidered a pair of armguards for him. I have put a bit of effort into my embroidery skills, within the chambers I have some reputation in embroidery. After all, the Empress must officiate the silkworm ceremony [4].</div><div> </div><div>On the side of the armguards is embroidered with my name, which is Se Se these two words.<br /><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince was an elegant and understanding man, because the next day, he ordered someone to send me a bunch of beads. These beads were jade colour and transparent, very beautiful. I ordered someone to make a bead necklace, even my father who was accustomed to seeing expensive items would be quite shocked. After all, these beads were more expensive and luxurious than pearls, a treasure from a distant foreign country.</div><div> </div><div>This move of the Crown Prince, he must have regarded me as someone that's as precious as pearls, my father was very satisfied.<br /><br /></div><div>Some people in the court deliberately made things difficult for the Crown Prince by asking him to lead the Yu Lin army to the Western Regions. These Yu Lin soldiers are from noble families in the Capital, they can fight no matter where they go. Without wrinkling his brows, he took Pei Zhao with him and led the Yu Lin army to the West.<br /><br /></div><div>I was in the Capital, only waiting for his news. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Western Regions was very far away, thousands of miles away, it will take a few months to get there. His expedition to the Western Regions, although I was worried, but I could only look into the distance at the wild geese in the sky.<br /><br /></div><div>People in ancient times would tie a letter onto the goose's feet and send it flying into the long distance.<br /> </div><div>But I cannot write to him.<br /> </div><div>I don't know if he was safe, and if he had pacified the Western Regions. </div><div><br /></div><div>Until Pei Zhao had sent someone back to the Capital.<br /><br /></div><div>Only then did I knew that something had happened to him in the Western Regions, he stumbled and fell from the cliff, whether he was alive or dead was unknown.<br /><br />What was surprising was that I wasn't panicking. The person I like, his fate was determined by the heavens, I would not believe that he would be this unlucky.<br /><br />Besides, he was with the army, how could he stumble and fall from the cliff, I didn't believe the vague words of Pei Zhao's letter. I know that there must be someone that planned on taking the Crown Prince's life.</div><div><br /></div><div>But he has grown up safely in the deep palace, I don't believe someone had planned this. </div><div><br /></div><div>Sure enough, his Highness has safely returned.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>However, he also brought back a woman who was said to be the Princess of Western Liang.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The court officials have their own thoughts, but the Crown Prince was a huge contributor to the suppression of the Western Regions. The officials had tried to persuade the Emperor not to bestow the title of Crown Princess to that foreign woman, someone had also came up with an idea of marrying off the Princess of Western Liang to Prince Nan. I know that my father was also thinking of something too, no one wants the position of Crown Princess to fall on the head of a foreign woman.<br /><br /></div><div>I am only afraid that this situation was hard to resolve, because the Emperor was unpredictable, sure enough, his Majesty quickly issued an edict for the Princess of Western Liang to be married to the Crown Prince and become the Crown Princess.<br /><br /></div><div>My father was very disappointed, he asked me: "Daughter, do you still want to marry the Crown Prince?"<br /> </div><div>I know that as long as I say one word, someone will naturally get rid of the Western Liang Princess for me. Right now she lives in the inn, where it is sparsely populated. She can’t even speak the Central Plains language, with only one servant from Western Liang by her side, who can't speak. No matter what method is used, it would be easy to make the Western Liang Princess die silently before the wedding.<br />
<br />I hesitated not because I pitied the Princess of Western Liang's life, but I am worried that the Emperor would feel that our Zhao family's hand were stretched too long.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Emperor would not tolerate Prince Wei, so he would definitely not tolerate a minister who played tricks in front of him.</div><div><br /></div><div>I persuaded my father to forget about it. As for whether or not I will marry the Crown Prince, I decided to see him and then decide. </div><div><br /></div><div>A year have passed, the Crown Prince seemed to have changed a lot, but it also seemed that nothing has changed. It was just that he became pale and thin. It was said that he was once seriously injured in the Western Regions, his life was almost hanging on a thread. But now, he has recovered, although he still was a bit tired.</div><div><br /></div><div>I could faintly feel that there seems to be a further distance between us. I can't explain it, it's just a woman's intuition. Although he still treats me kindly, but I would feel that his eyes does not have me. His eyes always seemed to look pass me, looking at another place.<br /><br /></div><div>He still gave me a bunch of beads.<br /><br /></div><div>I smiled and said, "You have already given me before."<br />
<br />He said: "I will give these for you to string it into a rabbit to play with."</div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't know that beads could be strung into a rabbit. Suddenly he became interested and ordered someone to bring the needles and threads, and showed me how to make it. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince suddenly became serious when doing this kind of children game. The beaded rabbit seemed very realistic, using black Agate beads for the eyes made it seemed very lifelike.<br /> </div><div>He knotted the knot and showed me the little clear green rabbit in his hand. He smiled and said: "Look, it's done."<br /> </div><div>I have never heard him speak so softly, as if he had become another person. I suddenly felt happy. At this moment, he was no longer unapproachable and distant, but kind and approachable, especially his eyes, looking at me in a pulsed manner. He said, "Is it fun? I'll give you a live rabbit tomorrow, then you can compare and see if they are similar to each other."<br /><br />I placed the beaded rabbit in front of the necklace, the candlelight flickered during the night, which made the bead necklace and rabbit very green. I leaned on the seat and looked at the beaded rabbit, the candlelight reflected it into a small round shadow, like a small mouse. The candlelight flickered, the shadow of it became longer, the shadows of the rabbit ears were even longer. Now the shadow looks like a rabbit and not a mouse. I thought of the way Li Cheng Yin lowered his head to string these beads, so serious and careful, every bead he string it carefully, I don't know why I suddenly felt a tenderness in my heart. In the end, I decided to marry Li Cheng Yin.<br /><br />Even if I could only be a Liang Di [5], I know that the Crown Princess was only an empty title.</div><div>
<br />Sure enough, she was just a Crown Princess by title.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Crown Prince disliked that Western Liang woman very much, never looked at her in the eye.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Instead I would persuade the Crown Prince from time to time. On the surface, I was able to tolerate it, but actually I was barely able to tolerate it.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Notes:</span></div><div>[1] The translation of the poem was found through this site: <a href="https://www.academia.edu/9947732/_A_Discarded_Fan_">academia.edu by Patricia B.

Her long eyelashes cast a curved shadow on her snow white face, it's just that she was breathing lightly, still unconscious.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin seemed surprised, taking half a step back, and then wrinkled his eyebrows.</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Pei Zhao wondered, did he remember? How can he persuade him? He had once used his life wanting to save her, not hesitating to jump off the high cliff with her, how can he persuade him to abandon this person? </span><br /></span><br />After a long time, Li Cheng Yin suddenly said: "Why did Father want me to marry her? She is so ugly!"<br /><br />Pei Zhao was stunned.<br /><br />Li Cheng Yin grabbed a cloth to wipe his fingers, said: "Get her a tent and move her out, I dislike seeing her!"<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Pei Zhao didn’t know what to say, in the end he could only agree, bringing people here to move the Princess elsewhere.</span></div><div><br />Since then, Li Cheng Yin would show <span style="background-color: white;">an expression of dislike</span> whenever the Princess was mentioned, even though Pei Zhao did not understand why.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">After he exited the main military tent, as he walked he kept on thinking how should he explain to the Crown Prince, how should he say, and how much should he tell him?</span></div><div><br />The Yu Lin army did not know about Li Cheng Yin and the Ninth Princess’s personal matters. The only people who knew were him and Gu Jian, but Gu Jian's whereabouts were unknown, so it could be said that only he knew.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>He tossed and turned, unable to sleep throughout the whole night. By dawn he was still very anxious. The kitten named Xiao Xue was by his pillow side, meowing. He reached out his finger and the kitten hugged it, snoring slightly, Pei Zhao</span><span> actually fell asleep in the midst of the soft snoring sound.</span><br /></span><br />He didn't sleep for long though, <span style="background-color: white;">perhaps he only slept for the same amount of time it takes to boil a cup of tea,</span> because he suddenly felt the presence of someone in the tent, so he woke up. It was Li Cheng Yin who had come in, he hurriedly turned around and bowed: "Your Highness......"<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>However Li Cheng Yin saw the kitten on his pillow, and reached out his hands to grab it, laughing: "Ah Zhao, I didn't expect that you would raise a kitten...." He held the kitten in his arms, Xiao Xue recognized him and licked his finger affectionately. Li Cheng Yin smiled, "Look, it licked my finger......" He hadn’t finish speaking when two drops of tears suddenly fell from his eyes, dripping onto the fur of the kitten. Pei Zhao was stunned, Li Cheng Yin himself was also shocked. He reached out his hand to wipe the rims of his eyes, staring blankly at his moist fingertips, not believing that he had shed tears.</span><br /></span><br />It was quiet in the tent, only Xiao Xue could be heard softly meowing.<br /><br />Li Cheng Yin put down the kitten and said: "I must be so sick that the wind had caused me to tear up."<br /><br /><div>Pei Zhao did not know why he was more shocked than him, he couldn’t help but call out: "Your Highness....."</div><div><br /></div>Li Cheng Yin asked: "What?"<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>In the end, Pei Zhao did not say anything. Li Cheng Yin had a tough personality, he has never cried before. Why did he burst into tears at this moment, even he doesn’t understand, because he has forgotten.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">These two teardrops have a sense of heaviness in </span>that they could seal everything, sealing the words that Pei Zhao had once wanted to say.<br /><br />Pei Zhao thought, just let it be this way, Li Cheng Yin and the Princess being two strangers, it might not necessary be a bad thing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Just keep this huge secret to yourself.<br /> <br />Li Cheng Yin quickly restored to being his former self, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace who has the world in mind. As for the Princess of Western Liang, he did not care much about her. <br />
<br />"Just a woman from Western Liang." He said to Pei Zhao, "Don't think I don't know what the Empress is planning."<br /><br />When the Ninth Princess finally regained her consciousness, she had also forgotten everything, only remembering that she is the Ninth Princess, and had received the imperial decree to go to the Capital for a political marriage.<br /><br />She was still naive and cheerful. Even though Li Cheng Yin did not like her, she remained carefree, as if nothing in this world could bother her.</div><div><br />Pei Zhao did not know whether it was good. He carefully raised Xiao Xue, not letting the Ninth Princess see it.</div><div><br /></div><div>He kept raising Xiao Xue for a long time, afterwards Xiao Xue gave birth to a kitten. However the Princess and the Crown Prince would still argue with each other.<br /> <br />The Princess was already the Crown Princess, but the Crown Prince did not like her, he even hated her. More than once, Li Cheng Yin complained about her in front of him, "That barbarian woman from Western Liang," <span style="background-color: white;">he would always refer to her in a very contemptuous way.</span><br /> <br />Pei Zhao did not try to <span style="background-color: white;">dissuade him</span>.<br /> <br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>This day was the Qixi Festival [1], it was not known why the Crown Princess would make the Crown Prince angry again, but the two quarreled with each other. Li Cheng Yin had summoned Pei Zhao into the Eastern Palace to drink wine with him. The palace was filled with excitement during the Qixi Festival, however this day was only celebrated by the ladies. Within the palace, fruits and other things were only bestowed to the ladies in the Eastern Palace.<br /> </span><br /></span><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>When Li Cheng Yin mentioned the Crown Princess, he would be angry: "That barbarian woman from Western Liang, having already spent several years in the Central Plains, still doesn't know how to wear a hairpin even on the day of the Qixi Festival. She only knows how to cause trouble everyday and everywhere,</span><span> this type of festival, I don't even want to spend a single moment of it!"</span></span></div><div> </div>Pei Zhao pretended to unintentionally ask: "Why doesn't your Highness like the Crown Princess?"<br /><br />Maybe because he had drank some wine and loosened up, Li Cheng Yin discouragingly said: "I don't know, I feel annoyed whenever I see her."<br /> <br />He paused before he said: "It's not annoying, I can't explain, it's just that I don't want to see her."<br /> <br /></div><div>Pei Zhao said: "Just like not wanting to see my cat."<br /> <br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin was stunned, but a moment later, he nodded slowly and said: "You're right, just like not wanting to see your cat."<br /><br />The Pei family knows, whenever his Highness visit them, he does not like to see the cat.<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Pei Zhao drank a few more cups of wine with Li Cheng Yin before leaving. Li Cheng Yin didn't know why, but he felt unhappy, maybe because Pei Zhao had mention</span>ed his family's cat. Li Cheng Yin had always felt a great shame because there was nothing wrong with him, but why would he cry upon seeing that cat, and he also felt very painful, as if his flesh was being cut off by a sharp blade. As time passed, he was really afraid of seeing that cat.</div><div><br />As the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, how could he be afraid of a cat?<br /><br />He felt unhappy, drank another cup of wine, then got up and left his palace residence, not allowing anyone to follow behind, only saying that he was going for a walk <span style="background-color: white;">to ease the feeling of drunkenness.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>As the moon rose, the night wind became chilly, the plants in the courtyard were sparse. He walked along the bridge for a moment and only heard the insects chirping. The pond reflected the bright moon in the sky, the reflection was vibrant and sparkling. He stood by the pond for a moment, before suddenly feeling a bit disappointed, he walked across the bridge. After passing these rooms, it would be the path back to the main palace hall.</span><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>These rooms are for palace servants. Since tonight was the night of the Qixi festival, the palace servants had went to participate in the needle threading competition [2]. The rooms were lit by candlelight, but nobody was inside.</span><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Li Cheng Yin suddenly went inside through the window. Suddenly there was a red cloud like object thrown at the window, he couldn't help but turn his head around. Inside the room, there was a palace maid tidying her clothes, which were thin clothing. She did not turn around, instead just put those clothes onto the shelf, but because she didn't use much strength, the clothes that were like a round cloud had fallen to the floor. </span></div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Li Cheng Yin didn't know why but he stopped his feet. That palace maid was unaware, just humming a song as she tidied up the clothes, which made Li Cheng Yin felt that this scene was quite familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. But it was just a hazy shadow, he was unable to catch it, too faint as if it was like the past.</span><br /></span> <br />The palace maid turned around and seeing that it was him, she became very shocked, and hurriedly knelt down, stuttered: "Your Highness."<br /><br />The candlelight reflected her thin figure, making Li Cheng Yin feel a sense of tenderness that he has never felt before. He unknowingly reached out his hand to hold her hand, which were cold and still shaking.<br /><br />He thought, don't be afraid, it's me, it's me.<br /><br />Not knowing why, he always felt that the person in front of him would be able to recognize him and would give him a happy smile, as if she has done it countless times before.<br /><br />As long as she smiles, the snow on the Tian Gen mountain would melt.<br /><br />He wanted to say that name many times, but he couldn't remember it. Feeling a bit discouraged, he finally asked: "What is your name?"</div><div><br />"This servant's name is Ah Xu [3]."<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>He thought this name was not good, it's not this name, no it's not right. What's her name? What should be her name? He couldn't remember it, this kind of feeling he's never felt before, he suddenly didn't want to think about it anymore, because she has her own thoughts, she would remember her name anyways.</span><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>He felt that he must be drunk, very drunk, or else why would he have a feeling of grief and tenderness.</span><br /><br /><span>He suddenly felt afraid, afraid of something that he didn't know of, as if that thing was like a smoke that would disappear. He couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, gently putting her finger onto his chest where there was a slight pain. Her whole body was shaking, but he happily said: "Come with me."</span><br /><br /><span>He felt that he was looking around for a long time, not knowing what he was looking for, but clearly knowing that it was a huge absence that terrified him. </span><span>It was a dream that he had countless nights that would cause him to shake in fear</span><span>. It was a feeling of regret that he didn't understand. It was a deep, </span><span>bone-aching </span><span>wound in his heart.</span></span><br /><br />Luckily, he found it.<br /><br />At this moment, he was very satisfied, just like a long time ago.<br /><br />He held her hand, passing by the beautiful pavilion, the magnificent palace rooms.<br /> <br />Tonight was the night of the Qixi Festival, a good day when the weaver girl and the cowherd met each other on the magpie bridge in the golden wind and jade dew.<br /><br /><div><span style="background-color: white;">The pool of water reflected the bits of starlight, as if it was immersed in countless fireflies, just like a dream that could make one feel intoxicated. </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><div><span style="background-color: white;">He didn't know if he would lose everything the moment he woke up the next morning.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></div>He held her hand and entered his own palace residence.<br /><br /><div><span style="background-color: white;">On the silver folding screen, a new poem was written with wine. The wine gradually faded away and the handwriting was disappearing, just like the way fireflies disappear.</span></div><div><br /></div></div><div>If one does not experience the feeling of grief, they would not believe people's hair could turn white as a result.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFHtBY6-iaVhosEC5pJVaeNnHNGkpFL6O2AOE7EAHBDVJsFTnHlx5TiiWLtel5FUt-5HauF3mfYz8859nlb2ZVUK3ppzD6a5zK7vUhyphenhyphent-4GHO55X-sdxlzPw9SvJ-vypmHL2x1BNX4CoM/s719/t01900457a990bc5144.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="719" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFHtBY6-iaVhosEC5pJVaeNnHNGkpFL6O2AOE7EAHBDVJsFTnHlx5TiiWLtel5FUt-5HauF3mfYz8859nlb2ZVUK3ppzD6a5zK7vUhyphenhyphent-4GHO55X-sdxlzPw9SvJ-vypmHL2x1BNX4CoM/w320-h213/t01900457a990bc5144.png" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Translator's Note: I am quite surprise when Li Cheng Yin shed tears as soon as the cat licked his fingers.

They use five, seven or nine needles, which are stuck on an object. The person that threads the needle holes the fastest wins the title of skillful hands. This event also reveals a person's intelligence and wisdom as well as predicting their future based on there needle threading skills. Back in ancient times, needle threading is an important skill for young ladies, so if you have great needle threading skills then it would mean you are very intelligent and would have a good future.

A long time have passed before Pei Zhao came back to his senses, it was actually a kind of desperate tone.<br /></span><div><br /></div><div>She said: "You bad people, my husband will kill you all to avenge me."</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">As she spoke, she was holding onto that kitten. She was clearly shaking in fear, but she spoke with certainty, as if she really believed that there would be a person who was capable of anything, appearing like a god to save her.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Until she saw Li Cheng Yin. When she saw Li Cheng Yin,</span> she became stupefied and unknowingly loosened her grip, not realizing that the kitten had escaped from her hands.<br /><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin gently caught the kitten. Xiao Xue recognized him and licked his fingers <span style="background-color: white;">feebly</span>.<br /><br /></div><div>She finally understood what was going on, and she used all of her strength to spit on him: "Traitor!"</div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Meeting each other under these circumstances this time was of course very unpleasant and shameful. The Ninth Princess was cursing at Li Cheng Yin using Western Liang language. Pei Zhao had all kinds of important military affairs to handle, staying there would be very awkward, so he left early. When he was about to leave the tent, he turned around and saw Li Cheng Yin holding the kitten, just standing there.</span><br /></span><br />Pei Zhao's mind was in a mess. After Gu Jian saved the Ninth Princess, Pei Zhao finally was determined to ask Li Cheng Yin: <span style="background-color: white;">"Mohu people have been very suspicious since the victory, I am afraid that they would change for the worst, so I would ask that your Highness to stay to suppress the current situation, and allow this subject to bring people to chase after the Princess of Western Liang."</span><br />
<br />Li Cheng Yin did not agree this time, he said: "No." He was very calm: "I'll bring people myself, you'll come with me."<br />
<br />Pei Zhao was fully aware that this Highness has already made up his mind, but he couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, you should make the decision when it's time to decide, or else you will suffer the consequences."<br />
<br />Li Cheng Yin seemed not to care about it, he even smiled: "What is the difference between killing her this way and killing myself? Pei Zhao, I can't kill myself twice."<br /><br /></div><div>Pei Zhao was deeply shaken, <span style="background-color: white;">he couldn't help but take a step back, but then he step forward and called out</span>: "Your Highness."<br /><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin said: "<span style="background-color: white;">You don't have to persuade me, since it's my own decision, let me take the blame."</span><br /> </div><div>His words were said in a plain and unremarkable way, especially the four words 'let me take the blame,' which was spoken very plainly, that made Pei Zhao feel very shocked.</div><div><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin held onto the kitten. When the Ninth Princess escaped, she did not take the kitten with her anymore. Now the cat was being raised in Li Cheng Yin's tent. He gently rubbed the cat, and said: "Look, she doesn't even want Xiao Xue, I am afraid she doesn't want to live any longer."<br /><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin personally led three thousand Yu Lin soldiers, chasing until they have reached the Tian Gen mountain.<br /> <br /></div><div>It started to snow within the mountains. When it snows in the Tian Gen mountain, it is impossible to hide. There were several times when the Ninth Princess was almost captured, but every time they would fall short by a little bit.<br /><br /></div><div>Pei Zhao finally opened his mouth and tried to persuade Li Cheng Yin: "Your Highness, let's forget about it. If this continues, Yu Lin army will be cold and hungry."<br /> <br /></div><div>The Yu Lin army are all from the Capital, did they ever experienced this kind of bitter coldness? It snowed on the eighth month. The wind here was so cold that it could pierce through the bones, if not careful, one could get frostbites.<br /> <br />They were all wearing a light fur cloak, they were still cold and hungry even when they brought dried food. The Ninth Princess ran away with broken shoes, not sure how she survived within the mountains.<br /> <br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin insisted on not withdrawing his army, he looked at the blurry world and the distant snowy mountain range within the snowfall, he said: "I have already taken everything from her, if I don't allow her to hate, then I'm afraid she won't live any longer."<br /> <br /></div><div>The army searched the mountain very strictly, as if the mountain was a fine toothed comb, but the Princess repeatedly escaped. There were several times when they had almost caught her, but A'Du and her were like gerbils, able to escape with great agility during the critical moments.<br /><br /></div><div>Pei Zhao gradually began to hope that she would quickly escape and go to a faraway place with the Jie Shou survivors. Then there would be no communication with the Celestial Empire, and everything would end.<br /> </div><div>However fate would not have it this way. <br /><br /></div><div>Eventually the Princess secretly returned to the Imperial City, but she was taken by the soldiers who were in the palace and sent back again to Li Cheng Yin.<br /><br /></div><div>This time, she seemed much more docile. Even when she received the Celestial Empire's decree, she was determined to marry Li Cheng Yin.<br /><br />Pei Zhao thought that nothing can be worse than this situation, because when he saw Li Cheng Yin privately go to see the Ninth Princess this time and placed the kitten in front of her, she wouldn’t look at that kitten, as if from now on she would not look at Li Cheng Yin.<br /><br />Li Cheng Yin was holding the kitten in his arms as he came out, the weather was cold with snowflakes falling in the evening. He was walking in the snow for a while, staring in a daze, without knowing where to go, just walking around in circles. Pei Zhao followed him in silence. After a long time, he suddenly said, "Ah Zhao, I heard Gu Jian say that Western Liang people believe that there is a river of forgetfulness within the Tian Gen mountain, drinking the holy water of the river of forgetfulness would allow people to forget all their pain and worries."<br />
<br />Pei Zhao replied: "If your Highness does not speak about strange powers and deities, then this subject would not believe."</div><div><br />"I do not believe it either." Li Cheng Yin said, <span style="background-color: white;"><span>"How could there be such an</span><span> advantageous</span></span><span><span style="background-color: white;"> thing, if you want to forget, then you can forget."</span><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>He lowered his head to caress Xiao Xue's fluffy white fur, Xiao Xue softly meowed, its head entered his sleeve, curled up.</span><br /></span><br />Now that he was <span style="background-color: white;">the person who would bring Xiao Xue around everyday</span>, he would always hide it in his sleeve, or in the lapel of his clothes.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">He cherished this kitten like cherishing his own eyes</span>, until the Princess of Western Liang had fled and climbed the high cliff, he never forgot to give Xiao Xue to Pei Zhao before he climbed up the cliff to persuade the Princess.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The area on top of the cliff was small, not a lot of people could fit there, so Pei Zhao and the two people were a distance apart.<br /></span> <div>When the Princess jumped into the river of forgetfulness, Li Cheng Yin grabbed her sleeve and jumped into the river of forgetfulness as well. Pei Zhao couldn't stop it, but could only watch the two people jump into the bottomless abyss. <span><span style="background-color: white;">Suddenly, his mind and feet were in a mess.</span><br /></span> <br />After a long time have passed, only did he quickly brought people to search along the downstream of the river valley, hoping that the so-called river of forgetfulness was really water, a deep river.<br /><br /></div><div>He led the people to search in the river valley for several days and nights.<br />
<br />In the end, everyone had lost hope. The Yu Lin army was dejected, and everyone was quiet as they were convinced that something bad had happened.<br /><br /></div><div>Only Pei Zhao had refused to give up, leading people through the river valley, along the upstream of the river. The valley was deep, hidden, and <span style="background-color: white;">rugged. S</span>ome of the horses slipped into the water and were swept away by the <span style="background-color: white;">current</span>.<br /> </div><div>Even Pei Zhao himself was unclear what belief had kept him going, but he wanted to see the people if they were alive, or corpses if they were dead. There were thousands of people in the valley, but more than half of the army was gone. In the end, they had finally found Li Cheng Yin, Pei Zhao could hardly believe that there would be this kind of luck.<br /><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin and the Princess were pushed onto the huge rocks by the <span style="background-color: white;">current</span>, most of their body were submerged in the water, <span style="background-color: white;">but Li Cheng Yin had tightly tied his hand and the Princess’s hand together with a belt,</span><span style="background-color: white;"> a tight knot that can’t be undone, so </span>Pei Zhao could only pull out his sword and cut the belt.<br /><br />Both of their wrists were bruised <span style="background-color: white;">as a result of the tight knot.</span> Pei Zhao could not separate the two people because Li Cheng Yin held onto the Princess’s hand tightly, his fingers were already cold and stiff, Pei Zhao was unable to pull their hands apart. Maybe when he fell from the cliff, he thought there was no way of surviving so he tightly held onto her hand, never to separate again.<br /><br /></div><div>Pei Zhao could only carefully carry the two people onto the horse’s back, and take turns changing the horse.<br /><br /></div><div>It took more than half a month to get out of that valley.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">During that period of time, Li Cheng Yin and the Ninth Princess still did not wake up, they were still in a deep sleep, breathing weakly. Every day, Pei Zhao would worry that they would die.</span></div><div> <br />But eventually both of them survived. The army had been moving slowly, already heading east for several miles, but then headed south because Pei Zhao wanted to quickly enter the city to find a better doctor.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">When Li Cheng Yin woke up, it was dusk. Hearing this news, he quickly went to the tent. When he arrived, Li Cheng Yin was being served with porridge, maybe because he haven't ate anything in a long time, his complexion did not look good, but he smiled weakly at him and called him: "Ah Zhao."</span></div><div>
<br />"Your Highness!" Pei Zhao almost had teary eyes, he took a step forward and held onto Li Cheng Yin's hand, "You are finally awake."</div><div><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin glanced at him with some thought, and then gently waved his hand. T<span style="background-color: white;">he rest of the people in the tent retreated, leaving only Pei Zhao behind.</span></div><div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Li Cheng Yin's expression was as if he still had some thoughts running through his head. H</span>e looked at the Ninth Princess who was sleeping on a felt carpet at the corner of the tent, and asked: "Who is that woman?"</div><div><br /></div><div>Pei Zhao was speechless.</div><div><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin said: "Why is it so windy and dusty here? Isn't the army going back to the Capital?"<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white;">Pei Zhao was secretly frightened</span>, asked: "Your Highness, you don't remember?"</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Li Cheng Yin looked at him, feeling a bit unexpected, said</span>: "Didn't we just killed Qi Qi Ya, and the army is about to return to the Capital?" He paused before saying, "I've been sick for a long time, did I become <span style="background-color: white;">muddleheaded</span>?"<br />
<br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Pei Zhao didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it, Pei Zhao told Li Cheng Yin little by little such as Qi Qi Ya being killed, that this time they are coming from the West because the Emperor have issued a </span><span>political marriage decree</span><span>. He led the Yu Lin army out of the Western Regions to welcome the Ninth Princess of Western Liang.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>Pei Zhao didn't know why he spoke up to here and then paused.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>After hearing him say this, Li Cheng Yin looked at the Ninth Princess who was asleep on the felt carpet. The sky was already dark, although a fire was already lit within the tent, but the flame was flickering. The Ninth Princess was still unconscious, curled up like a baby.</span><br /></span>
<br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Li Cheng Yin got up and slowly approached, Pei Zhao didn't know whether to stop him. Li Cheng Yin stretched out his fingers, but suddenly retracting them, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. However eventually, he hesitated before reaching out his hand to gently turn around the Princess's face.</span></div></div><div><span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/07/eastern-palace-side-story-2-part-4.html"><Side Story 2 Part 4</a> <a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/04/eastern-palace-side-story-2-part-6.html">Side Story 2 Part 6></a></span></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-71173665952144278772020-08-04T20:45:00.001-04:002020-08-10T10:48:50.907-04:00 东宫 Eastern Palace: Not Believing People’s Hair Could Turn White (Part 4)Hearing the horse’s steps slowly fading away during the night, Pei Zhao couldn’t help but sigh with <span style="background-color: white;">exasperation</span>. <br /><br /><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>He and Li Cheng Yin’s relationship is subject and ruler, but also close friends growing up together. Their understanding of each other was rather unusual, one could say that Pei Zhao could always roughly guess his Highness’s thoughts. This evening he defied the world by questioning him twice, that is, his friendship.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>It’s just that in the royal family, <span style="background-color: white;">where can you find any little bit of affection?</span><br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Their trip to the west had originally been a comprehensive plan. The Central Plains have always attached great importance to strategy and seek to build a comprehensive plan, using full use of their military forces and would not object to using tricks, so all aspects would be thoroughly considered.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Pei Zhao had always been a cautious person, but this time he doesn’t know why he didn't send a letter to his father who was currently in the Capital or even tell anyone about this matter.</span><br /></span><br />Even he doesn't understand why.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>About a few days ago, he was disguising himself as a merchant to meet Li Cheng Yin at the warehouse, but it was very quiet inside as nobody was there. Only the gerbils, A’Ba and A’Xia were eating beans in the cage. </span><span>When he saw that the ladder was down</span><span>, he knew there were people on the rooftop, so he went up the ladder. The rooftop was filled with racks of air dried tea leaves, the Ninth Princess was probably tired, </span><span>sleeping against the rack while hugging the kitten</span><span>, Li Cheng Yin was sitting on the side helping her block the sunlight with his sleeve. </span><span>The Princess and the kitten slept soundly, while the person who held out his sleeve was smiling while looking at the person sleeping.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The sun was so big that the shadows of the two people looked short and small, it seemed to be reduced into one round shadow, like two children leaning onto each other.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>Pei Zhao did not disturb him, instead quietly climbing down from the ladder. The warehouse was cold, the scent of tea leaves was faint. He boiled his own tea and drank it. However the rooftop was still quiet, as if no one was there. As the sunlight slowly moved from the window panel, Pei Zhao understood how short and long this moment was. At this very moment, there was no need to disturb this daydream.<br /><br /></div><div>Particularly, this dream that was easy to wake up from.<br /><br /></div><div>The Li Cheng Yin in the dream, does he hope that he really was the tea merchant Gu Xiao Wu? <br /><br />Maybe he doesn't even know.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>At the Jie Shuo royal camp that was by the riverside, when Gu Xiao Wu caught one hundred fireflies, it was like a wave of stars to the eyes of the Princess.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>The two people were standing in the middle of countless fireflies that were flying everywhere, it was as if they were standing in the galaxy, <span style="background-color: white;">with countless shooting stars gently flying past them.</span><br /><br />One must make a wish, whenever a shooting star is seen.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Li Cheng Yin suddenly remembered that she had once said with a naive and genuine expression, and seriously told him that a wish could come true if you quickly tie a knot with your belt.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>He couldn’t help but try to tie a knot with his belt, only he couldn’t tie a knot properly, tying it incorrectly every time. She reached out her hand from the side, laughing while scolding him: "Idiot!" Afterwards, she helped him tie a knot with his belt.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>He had already forgotten his wish, seeing the bright fireflies fly beside her face. A firefly landed on her hair, shining like the brightest little pearl.</span><br /></span><br />He doesn’t know why he suddenly became bold, leaning forward to give her a kiss on the face. The Ninth Princess was probably shocked, and a moment after, she ran away.<br /><br /></div><div>"Hey, you promised that you will marry me!"<br /><br /></div><div>He was shouting <span style="background-color: white;">into the distance</span> behind her.<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>She was probably very shy, not looking back, running away even faster with her ears covered. After running half an arrow's distance away, she suddenly came back, grabbing Xiao Xue that was sleeping inside his clothes. Xiao Xue was meowing, </span><span>pushing aside her finger</span><span> while looking at her with drowsy eyes, as if it couldn’t understand what was going on. He grabbed her hand: "The kitten is mine, </span><span>what are you taking it away for?"</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>"Nonsense!" The Princess must have felt guilty, but showed a bold expression, “Xiao Xue is mine, you gave it to me, this is my dowry.”</div><div><br /></div><div>After she finished talking, she turned around and ran away.<br /><br /></div><div>He could feel an extra bit of warmth in the palm of his hand, unsure if it was left behind by Xiao Xue or her.<br /><br /></div><div>He didn’t know why, but he used that warm hand to touch his own face.<br /><br />She had never kissed him, but she promised to marry him.</div><div><br />He knows <span style="background-color: white;">she had promised wholeheartedly.</span><br /><br /></div><div>Promised Gu Xiao Wu.<br /><br /></div><div>Gu Xiao Wu, the tea merchant from the Central Plains.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>He stood in the night wind, looking back at the countless fireflies by the riverbank, like a hazy dream that was gradually fading away. A singing voice could be heard from a distance, that was a Jie Shuo person, singing a love song in front of his beloved girl’s tent.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">Under the starry sky, <span>the flowing river water was like a clear silver cotton yarn.</span> He sat down by the river for a while, <span>until dew flowed down, the inclining moon had set, the fireflies scattered little by little, no longer able to be seen again.</span><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">On the wedding day, when Pei Zhao led the army for the ambush, he felt a bit uneasy.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Behind him, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers preparing for the <span style="background-color: white;">coming</span> war.</div><div><br />However he thought, his Highness would not fail to come right?</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>That thought flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning, but just like lightning it quickly disappeared. He thought, if he really did not come, then his Highness would probably really just be a tea merchant in Western Liang. Thinking up to here, he didn’t know why but even though knowing that it would be a horrible thing to happen, he felt a bit of hope and expectation.</span><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div><div>However if such a <span style="background-color: white;">nonsense matter happened</span>, then it would be a great disaster. When the Emperor is angry, <span style="background-color: white;">he will lay down a million of corpses in which the blood would flow for thousands of miles</span>. If his Highness really thought so, then the Emperor would send an army to flatten the entire Western Regions.<br /><br /></div><div>Eventually, when Li Cheng Yin led the Jie Shuo elite troops to the tight encirclement accordingly, Pei Zhao did not know whether he felt relieved or not.<br /><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>This bloody war was the most ruthless war Pei Zhao has ever experienced, Jie Shuo people were naturally very fierce and ferocious. An army of four hundred thousand soldiers surrounded the Jie Shuo clan, and the war lasted for several days. In the end, the Great Chanyu had died in the chaos, putting the disposition of the Jie Shuo troops into a state of disorder, but they were still quite capable of fighting. They fought until the last moment to allow the old, weak, women, and children to escape.</span><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span>The Ninth Princess went missing in the chaos, the Yu Lin army had reported that the Princess was killed amidst the chaos. When Pei Zhao heard this news, he felt that this was good. It was just that there were corpses everywhere that were badly mutilated, so it was impossible to determine whether this news was true or not. They did not know which corpse was the Ninth Princess of Western Liang.</span><br /></span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>After a big win, at night the Mohu people set up their camp. Pei Zhao was a cautious person, so he set up the camp by the </span><span>upstream of the river.</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>The sky was completely dark, and the fireflies by the riverside slowly appeared.</div><div><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin was sitting by the river, watching the fireflies fly quietly, like shooting stars.<br />
<br /></div><div>Pei Zhao approached slowly and called out: "Your Highness."<br /><br /></div><div>Li Cheng Yin did not speak, he reached out his hand and caught a glowing firefly. That bright firefly in his hand was flickering, like a small lantern that was about to be extinguished, but also resembling a beating heart that was dying.<br /><br /></div><div>Pei Zhao said: "Your Highness did not have dinner, tomorrow we will be marching......"<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Li Cheng Yin opened his hand, and that firefly struggled to fly away, swaying as it tried to fly. Finally it flew a little higher, gradually merging with the fireflies along the river. The river water reflected the scattered brightness of the stars from the sky, making it hard to tell whether the brightness is from the fireflies or the stars.</span><br /></span><br /></div><div>"Ah Zhao......" He finally spoke, his voice sounded light like a firefly, as if it could be blown away by the wind, he said, "Am I a coward? She's already dead, but I don't dare to go and take a look."<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Pei Zhao didn't know what to say, he was holding a sesame pancake. Li Cheng Yin didn't eat anything the whole day. Apparently he wanted to persuade him to eat, but at this moment he felt like he was unable to speak.</span><br /></span>
<br /><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Li Cheng Yin's voice sounded even lighter: "Xiao Feng and Xiao Xue would not be separated. She clearly meant that Xiao Feng and Xiao Wu would not be separated. I was cowardly, pretending to not know. Ah Zhao, apparently I am such a cowardly person."</span><br /></span>
<br />Pei Zhao said: "Your Highness......" He wanted to persuade him, but suddenly a loud voice could be heard, one of the soldiers rushed forward, calling out from a distance, "General!" The soldier had dismounted, and said, "The Princess of Western Liang has fled! Our men have been chasing after her for hundreds of miles, almost catching up to her! <span style="background-color: white;">They sent me to report back!"</span></div><div>
<br />Pei Zhao was shocked, he turned around to look at Li Cheng Yin, who seemed as though he did not hear what the soldier had said. The soldier repeated his words, Li Cheng Yin then said, "If that's the case, then chase after her." He even smiled, "Bring my horse here, I'll chase after her."</div><div><br />"Your Highness!" Pei Zhao remained calm while trying to stop him, "Your Highness must be tired, let this subject bring people to chase after her."</div><div>
<br />Li Cheng Yin looked at him for a while as if he did not recognize him, before nodding: "Then go."</div><div><br />As Pei Zhao cupped his hands at him and turned around to leave, he heard Li Cheng Yin's voice softly and slowly, said: "Don't kill her."<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Pei Zhao originally had this intention in mind, but after hearing him expose his intention, he could only agree.</span></div><div><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Pei Zhao led a group of soldiers to chase after her for six days and six nights. The group of soldiers split up going separate ways, surrounding the Princess. In the end, the Ninth Princess who had no way out, was finally captured alive and sent back to the military camp.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="background-color: white;">She had fled for several days, her body was covered with blood, her hair was disheveled, but she was as alert as a small animal. Her eyes were wide open, her hands were tied with a rope, but she raised her hands to her chest, seemingly protecting something. Pei Zhao observed for a while, only to discover that she was protecting that kitten. The snow white kitten was so hungry that it did not have any strength to make a sound.</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Not sure how she had managed to escape from the chaos, being in a panic but still brought the kitten with her.</div><div><br />
The kitten’s ears were covered with blood, <span style="background-color: white;">it was not known whether it was injured or if it was someone else’s blood</span>. At this moment, she was holding the kitten while glaring at Pei Zhao. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/07/eastern-palace-not-believing-peoples_28.html"><Side Story 2 Part 3 </a> <a href="https://fantasybooksforever.blogspot.com/2020/07/eastern-palace-side-story-2-part-5.html">Side Story 2 Part 5></a></div>Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04233092763462244742noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795068523672465695.post-15872309305807138542020-07-28T20:30:00.002-04:002020-08-04T20:47:28.826-04:00 东宫 Eastern Palace: Not Believing People's Hair Could Turn White (Part 3)<div>
The spectators at the bottom were already cheering nonstop, the Siamese kept on swaying until he reached the end of the rope, taking out a snow white kitten from their arms and placing it on the pillar.<br />
<br />
The kitten was the size of a palm, but it was frightened by the height that the kitten kept on meowing, shaking as it squatted on the pillar.</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">At this time, the Siamese began to speak. As he spoke, someone nearby translated it aloud in Western Liang language. It turns out that the Siamese wanted to walk on the rope while swinging the bucket of water, and that the water would not spill out of the bucket.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">All of the spectators gasped in shock</span>, the Siamese started to gently shake the bucket, which was already filled with water, he continued to speak, the person next to him shouted: Not only that, but he's going to put the kitten in the bucket in the last round......<br />
<br />
Listening up to here, the Princess couldn't help but jump up, said: "The bucket is filled with so much water, the kitten will drown!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">The Siamese proudly placed down the bucket of water. He grabbed the kitten with one hand to let everyone see that it was a lively kitten, which had two eyes of different colour, with one eye blue while the other eye was green, a pair of different coloured eyes. This type of kitten comes from the Siam, very valuable.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The Siamese spoke saying that if someone was willing to come up and compete against him in ropewalking, if that person grabs the kitten first, then they will give away a hundred gold, but if the kitten drowns first, then he will win one gold.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
Hearing this, <span style="background-color: white;">everyone got into a state of uproar</span>, even merchants that come to Western Liang to do business could not earn that much gold.</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">As the saying goes, there will always be a brave man under a heavy prize. Even if you might win a hundred gold, you only have to pay one gold if you lose. Several people were eager to try, but the rope was tied in midair and it seemed so high and thin, which made people feel a bit intimidated. The princess was so anxious that she was not so anxious about the gold, but was afraid that the kitten will be drowned to death. She shouted: "Don't bet on this kitten, I'll give you ten gold, you can compete on other things!" </span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Even though this kitten was especially rare and valuable, but it was not worth ten gold. The Siamese saw that she was anxious, but he refused only saying that he would not sell it as the kitten was used for gambling, intentionally trying to get more money from her. He grabbed the kitten in his hand, intentionally showing her the kitten that was struggling in his grasp, while shaking his head to express that he did not want to sell it but only use it for gambling purposes.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
The Princess was so anxious that she stomped her feet. As she was about to take her shoes off to compete with the Siamese, suddenly a man could be seen climbing up on the rope. It was the tea merchant, Gu Xiao Wu.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The Ninth Princess opened her eyes wide, only seeing Gu Xiao Wu standing unsteadily on the rope, the spectators couldn't help but hold their breaths. He took two steps on the rope and swayed a bit, suddenly his body leaned backwards as if he was about to fall, and the Princess screamed along with the spectators. He had caught the rope with his toes, which turned out to be an upside down hook move, he lifted the two buckets of water that was on the ground, the moment he twisted his body, the rope twisted as well, he then stood on the rope again, carrying two buckets of water.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">The Siamese saw his moves, and knowing that he was confronted by a skillful enemy, he placed the kitten on top of the pillar that was at the end of the rope, holding two buckets of water and standing in front of him to stop him.</span><br />
<br />
The two people on the rope walked back and forth, trying to kick each other off the rope, and the Siamese swung the buckets of water in his hand, almost hitting Li Cheng Yin several times. The crowd was crying out in shock, and the Princess was also very worried.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">This Siamese specialized in tightrope walking, so naturally he has this kind of ability. When he saw Li Cheng Yin who was as stable as a rock, he couldn't see any of his flaws in the long struggle, he failed to kick him off the rope several times. He was worried that he would actually lose a hundred gold today, so he impatiently used his last trick. He was carrying two buckets of water, suddenly he bent his legs, jumping up into the sky from the rope, turned back to the sky with a somersault, the rope also bounced high because of the jump, the Siamese wanted to scoop the kitten from the pillar with his bucket and drown it as soon as it enters the bucket.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">At this time, Gu Xiao Wu jumped up into the air with his toes. He soared into the sky, flew across the Siamese who was doing the somersault, and landed standing in front of him. The bucket went flying in midair, he grabbed the kitten and the kitten meowed, the bucket was about to fall, he took the kitten into his arms, while also grabbing the bucket that was about to fall, unexpectedly not a single drop of water was spilled.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The crowd below were stunned at first, but then they clapped their hands and cheered, someone also climbed on the roof and blew the horn.</span> When the Ninth Princess saw that he had caught the kitten, she jumped up and shouted his name: "Gu Xiao Wu! Gu Xiao Wu! Gu Xiao Wu....."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">When the Siamese saw that he had caught the kitten, he felt sad. He loosen his grip and the buckets fell to the ground. Water was splashed all over the place. The crowd below were unable to dodge, so water was splashed on them, they couldn't help but shout and scold.</span><br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin climbed down from the rope. Some people in the crowd recognized him as Gu Xiao Wu, a tea merchant from the Central Plains, and surrounded him to congratulate him on winning a hundred gold. He looked back and saw the Ninth Princess standing there.</div>
<div>
<br />
When the Ninth Princess saw that he had saved the kitten, she was so happy that her face was filled with a smile. But she suddenly remembered A'Ba, so she angrily turned her head to look away, pretending to not see him.</div>
<div>
<br />
Li Cheng Yin took out the kitten from his arms, which was the size of a palm, with snow white fur, a pair of different coloured eyes, and an indescribable cuteness. The Ninth Princess couldn't help but look at Li Cheng Yin, who smiled at her and raised his hand to hand over the kitten to her: "I'll give it to you."<br />
<br />
The Ninth Princess cheered, gently reached out her hands to grab the kitten. The kitten softly meowed, sticking out its little pink tongue and licking her fingers. She immediately laughed with joy: "It licked me! It actually licked me! Very itchy......"<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin said: "You can't be angry anymore, and if you do, then I won't give you the kitten."<br />
<br />
The Ninth Princess twitched her mouth, said: "You won a hundred gold, so rich, but you are still so stingy!"<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin laughed. The Siamese person had already disappeared within the crowd, don't mention a hundred gold, not even one gold was left behind.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The Princess was holding onto the kitten, not caring about whether or not there was a hundred gold, just happily walking with Li Cheng Yin back to the warehouse. She didn't come here for the past few days, the two gerbils fed by Li Cheng Yin were getting fatter. The Ninth Princess was holding the cage: "A'Ba, A'Xia, look, you have a new friend."</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
When the two gerbils saw the kitten, even if it was just a kitten, the gerbils were so scared that they almost fainted. The Princess talked to the gerbils: "A’Xia how come you have no courage, also A’Ba, umm you look like A’Ba so I will just call you A’Ba.......” Speaking up to here, <span style="background-color: white;">her tone of voice was somewhat disappointed</span>. She played with that gerbil, one hand pinching its cheeks, the other hand using a finger to gently poke at the soft plump belly of the new A’Ba.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin knew that she was still upset as she was thinking of the old A’Ba, so he talked about something else: "Give the kitten a name."<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The Ninth Princess thought about it, and then said: "The fur is so white, so we should name it Xue Hua [1]! No, your name is Xiao Wu, my name is Xiao Feng, so it should actually be named Xiao Xue! That’s it, it will be named Xiao Xue!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Xiao Xue was mischievous, everyday the two gerbils were frightened. Although they still eat a lot of broad beans, the two gerbils gradually slimmed down because they would always be chased by Xiao Xue. However Xiao Xue was still a very small kitten, it was just catching up to the gerbils to play with them. <span style="background-color: white;">Gradually, the two gerbils did not fear Xiao Xue anymore, reaching out their claws from behind the cage to grab Xiao Xue, playing together.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The Ninth Princess likes Xiao Xue very much, carrying it with her wherever she goes. The two gerbils got used to staying in the warehouse, so they stayed there. This time Gu Xiao Wu had experience raising gerbils, so the gerbils were well taken care of, both gerbils were good looking and have very smooth skin. The Princess would come over everyday to play with them, sometimes the two would ride their horses outside the city, other times they would drink wine with a group of merchants, and <span style="background-color: white;">even compete in riding camels</span>.....<br />
<br />
These days were spent very happily.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin grew up in the palace. As a child, he had always walked on thin ice every day, every step that he takes, he must consider the next few steps carefully. He has never been so reckless before, <span style="background-color: white;">every day acting willfully</span>. Spending time with her, he felt relaxed and carefree, like a child in the world, <span style="background-color: white;">who doesn't need to work busily and exhaust oneself</span>. He hopes that these days will last longer, if the days were longer, even the Central Plains, Celestial Empire, and the Eastern Palace would be forgotten for a while.<br />
<br />
The Ninth Princess did not like when the Mohu sent people to Western Liang to propose marriage, that night she snuck out from the palace to see A'Ba and A'Xia. </div>
<div>
<br />
Li Cheng Yin was already used to her coming over. When he saw that she stood there alone at the table, he approached quietly from behind, only wanted to cover her eyes with his hands to frighten her. B<span style="background-color: white;">ut just as he was about to do so, suddenly he heard her sigh, so he stopped</span>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The Princess was disappointed, said to A'Ba and A'Xia: "What should I do? I don't want to marry the Mohu king, an old man with a white beard who is older than my father." She pouted, "I also don't want to marry the Crown Prince from the Celestial Empire. I heard that men from the Celestial Empire cannot <span style="background-color: white;">draw their bows</span><span style="background-color: white;">, they only know how to read and write.......</span>Marrying a husband who can't even <span style="background-color: white;">draw bows</span> is quite unfortunate......"<br />
<br />
She was talking when suddenly someone from behind said: "You really want to marry someone that much?"<br />
<br />
When she turned around and saw that it was Gu Xiao Wu, she was angry and said: "Yeah, I really want to get married!"<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin teased her: "Since you are going to get married, give me back Xiao Xue. This is my cat, not your dowry."<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The Ninth Princess was angry and annoyed, said: "Even if I am going to marry someone, I would not be separated from Xiao Xue! Xiao Feng and Xiao Xue will not be separated."<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
She felt very wronged, turned around to leave when she finished talking.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">She walked far away on the street. When she turned to look back, there was just an empty street market, only the moonlight that reflected her stretched shadow could be seen. Even the warehouse was completely dark, so he must have put out the lights, and went to bed.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Feeling sad, she held Xiao Xue in her arms, and left without looking back again.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Even she doesn't understand why she felt so wronged. It must be because every time they argue, Gu Xiao Wu wouldn’t give way for her, but not only that, he also wouldn’t coax her. If he chased after her when she had left, she would probably marry him, anyway it would be better to marry him than to marry the Mohu King or the Crown Prince of the Central Plains.</span><br />
<br />
She stomped her foot, a little annoyed as to why she was thinking about these things, she doesn’t want to marry Gu Xiao Wu!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Feeling deeply hurt, she decided to escape from this marriage and go to Jieshuo, only her grandfather loves her the most.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
She packed her bags, bringing Xiao Xue with her to escape this marriage.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao had his people watch over the Ninth Princess, her every move could be seen clearly, <span style="background-color: white;">not to mention also knowing such a big matter such as her leaving the Imperial City to escape the marriage</span>. Therefore, he divided his people into two groups, one of the groups will quietly follow the Princess, while the other group would return to report back to Pei Zhao. After Pei Zhao heard about this matter, he did not speak for a while, <span style="background-color: white;">but in the end only waved his hand telling the people there to retreat.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
He went to see Li Cheng Yin alone. After Li Cheng Yin heard about the Ninth Princess escaping from the marriage, he wasn’t in a hurry, instead he just said: “Is there any backup? I’ll just chase after her later.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao couldn’t help but said: "The Princess didn’t bring anything, just brought dry food, water, and that kitten."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin laughed: "She’s escaping from a marriage, but why is she also bringing Xiao Xue with her?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
After saying this, he stared blankly because he suddenly remembered that the night before yesterday, he asked her if she wanted to marry the Mohu King, but after that the Ninth Princess suddenly became very unhappy and said: "Xiao Feng and Xiao Xue will not separate."<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
When she finished talking, she turned around and left.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Because she often makes such a fuss, he didn’t pay much attention, <span style="background-color: white;">just thought that she’s a naughty princess throwing a tantrum</span>. However when she said those words, she seemed very angry.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao already noticed something strange, seeing his worried expression, he called out: "Your Highness."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin said: "Such a childish temper."<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">He got up and took the sword: "Prepare the horse, I'll go after her. If we wait longer she would be too far away, and we wouldn’t be able to catch up to her."</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
But Pei Zhao suddenly reached out his hand to hold down the sword on the table and said: "Your Highness, have you thought this through? Are we going to proceed?"<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
He said each word with a pause, the candle on the table flickered slightly, blurring Li Cheng Yin’s expression. He didn't make a sound, but Pei Zhao knew he understood what he meant, so he slowly repeated it again: "Your Highness, have you thought this through?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin didn’t speak, picked up the sword on the table and left alone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Li Cheng Yin watched the skirt being thrown at the curtain before falling to the ground. She did not notice anything unusual, just undressing herself, and casually throwing her clothes.<br />
<br />
<div>
The young girl stood up, and the sun shone on her naked body. Li Cheng Yin did not dare to look again, only felt that his own heart was beating fast, turned around to lean against the curtain. But the reed curtain was vaguely transparent. When he heard the sound of water splashing, he looked again through the curtain, the young girl had already jumped into the water.<br />
<br />
Her long hair was spread on the water surface, like the water plants, the thick steam made her pair of eyes look like black grapes soaked in water. As she bathed and sang, her arms were raised to wipe the water on her body, her snow white chest was patted with water, showing a beautiful arc.<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin stood behind the curtain, and only listened to her singing cheerfully about a fox and a sandy hill.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The etiquette of the Central Plains was very strict. Li Cheng Yin have only seen well behaved ladies from noble families and ladies from the harem. He has never seen such an innocent and bright young girl, only felt that she's carefree, like a bird in the sky.<br />
<br />
She sang for a while, until the palace maid came to bring more hot water. The palace maid bowed to pay respect: "Ninth Princess."</div>
<div>
<br />
The Ninth Princess responded happily, the palace maid picked up her clothes from the floor, said: "Ninth Princess, please don't throw the clothes on the ground. If the Queen sees this, she will scold me again...."</div>
<div>
<br />
When the palace maid picked up the red cloud like clothing, she screeched in shock.<br />
<br />
"What's wrong?"<br />
<br />
"How did the clothes split in half?"<br />
<br />
The clothes were split apart with a clean cut, as if someone had used a pair of scissors to cut it apart, it was not like it was being accidentally torn apart. The palace maid felt that it was suspicious, so she lifted the curtain, the window behind the curtain was half opened, with only the bright sun shining onto the ground.<br />
<br />
Pei Zhao led the army and camped at the foot of the snow mountain, which was facing towards the river. <span style="background-color: white;">On the trip to the west, Li Cheng Yin was instructed to lead three thousand soldiers of the Yu Lin army, all of whom were from noble families. They were to come out of the Capital to guard the border for the first time, bringing with them a small hunting dog and a falcon, and were very excited as if they were going on an hunting expedition. </span>Fortunately Pei Zhao was able to control the army, training the soldiers while marching to the west until they have arrived at the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, the camp was organized in a strict manner.<br />
<br />
After setting up the camp, the army filled up the pot to cook the food. When it came time to eat, the army would take turns. Pei Zhao as the general would be part of the last group to eat, as he picked up his bowl of rice, suddenly a shout could be heard. Only a horse could be seen heading towards the camp in a steady pace, it was Li Cheng Yin who had returned.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Seeing that he had returned safely and unharmed, Pei Zhao couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief and walked forward to welcome him. Someone had already gotten a hold of the horse's rein. Li Cheng Yin turned around to get off the horse, and asked: “Where is Gu Jian?”<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao said: "Seeing that your Highness still haven’t returned after a long time, he went back to the city to gather information." He then asked: "Did you see the Ninth Princess?"</div>
<div>
<br />
Li Cheng Yin nodded and said: "I saw her."<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin said: "A face that is very child-like, she doesn't seem to be a person that schemes, because she's like a child." <span style="background-color: white;">Speaking up to this point, he suddenly thought of that person's white skin in the clear water, and felt his ears become hot, an uncomfortable feeling like a person who was telling lies. Thus he bent down to enter the tent,</span> only said, "I'm hungry, bring a bowl of rice."<br />
<br />
Pei Zhao did not notice anything strange. Since they have come to a foreign country that was faraway, and the plan was big, if the Princess of Western Liang really is not a person that schemes, then that'll be good.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">After days of traveling, everyone was tired. Since everyone in the army were men, they didn't pay particular attention to each other, just going into the water when they see the river. The camp was stationed by the riverside, the river water came from the snow that melted on the snow mountain. Although it was the sixth month, the water was still freezing cold. At dusk, a group of soldiers jumped into the river. Everyone felt so cold that they grimaced in shock while shouting. However Pei Zhao and Li Cheng Yin were competing against each other to see who swims faster, floating and submerging into the water, swimming far away from the group. After some time have passed, the competition still did not end yet. The Yu Lin army likes to wait for the results of competitions, cheering very loudly along the riverside while chasing after them, and beating the drums. However since the two people in the river were pushed by the waves, and the sky gradually darkened, the people by the riverside were unable to catch up.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">In the end, it was Pei Zhao who had won. Li Chengyin was exhausted and choked on two mouthfuls of water, as Pei Zhao dragged him out of the water. The two people pulled each other to the riverbank. Pei Zhao turned around and saw tiny dots that looked like stars in the distance, the Yu Lin army must have lit their torches and was searching for them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Exhausted, Pei Zhao and Li Cheng Yin fell onto the grass by the riverbank, only looking at the bright stars. The starry sky seemed much lower than the sky in the Capital, the stars seemed so close as if you could touch it when you reach out your hands.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The two people laid on the grass, seeing that they were drenched in water, they looked at each other dumbfounded, before finally laughing.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
"Ah Zhao, have you ever thought about who you're going to marry in the future?" Li Cheng Yin lazily asked.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao said: "I want to marry someone I like, and have mutual respect in the marriage. But......" He didn't say anything afterwards.<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin knew that based on Pei Zhao's background, he would most likely marry a princess. He could help him with this matter, so he smiled: "If you like a princess, I can help you <span style="background-color: white;">pull some strings</span>."<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao calmly said: "Then I will thank your Highness first."<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">As the noise was getting increasingly louder, the soldiers with the torches finally found them. The soldiers were overjoyed as soon as they saw them, bringing the horses, and clothes for them to change. Li Cheng Yin wiped his body with a cloth, changed into clean clothes, and got on his horse. Coincidentally, he saw Pei Zhao who had just changed his clothes and got on his horse.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin said: "Let's go for another round, ride from here to the main camp."<br />
<br />
Pei Zhao said: "Your Highness has already lost one round, you still want to lose another round today?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin whipped his horse while turning around, smiled: "That might not be true!"<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The torches shone against his eyes, making him look like a proud young man as he rode his horse to leave. The brightness of the torches overshadowed the stars. At that moment, both of them had thought that despite of the hardships and dangers ahead, all living things along with the world would be easily accessible.</span><br />
<br />
The first time Pei Zhao saw the Ninth Princess was when he was living in Western Liang, and Li Cheng Yin was already known as Gu Xiao Wu. At that time, Pei Zhao who was dressed as a tea merchant, went to meet up with Li Cheng Yin, but happened to see the Ninth Princess at the door. Pei Zhao was wearing a robe worn by Western Liang people and had a fake beard on his face. The Princess thought he was a friend of Gu Xiao Wu, so she smiled at him. She was holding a cage with two gerbils in it, and greeted Li Cheng Yin excitedly: "Look, this is A'Ba and A'Xia!"</div>
<div>
<br />
The two gerbils were very handsome, smooth, and plump like two round pieces of dough.</div>
<div>
<br />
The Princess stuffed a broad bean in Li Cheng Yin's hand and said: "You try feeding them!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">As soon as Li Cheng Yin reached out his hand, a gerbil jumped up and snatched the bean with his mouth. Another gerbil rushed over and tried to snatch the bean, but because it was too fat, it stumbled. Its feet were facing towards the sky, revealing his pink belly, it just squeaked, and the four little claws grasping the air, but it could not turn its body to climb up.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Seeing this the Princess couldn't help but laugh out loud. Li Cheng Yin also couldn't hold in his laughter, both of them were staring at the cage. Li Cheng Yin reached out his finger to help the gerbil turn over, but accidentally poked its soft belly, and the two of them laughed loudly. Seeing the two happy people in front of him, Pei Zhao did not know why he suddenly felt his heart sank, as if something bad was going to happen.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
However, Li Cheng Yin didn't notice anything.<span style="background-color: white;"> After feeding the gerbils, he went out of the city with the Princess to ride their horses. </span><br />
<br />
The sunset glow filled the whole sky, and the two people took the reins and rode their horses with great speed. Afterwards they sat on the sandy hill, <span style="background-color: white;">watching the sun gradually go down.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The achnatherums [1] swayed in the shadow of the sun, the sound of the camel bells could be heard from a distance, and a group of merchants passed by. The Princess sat on the sandy hill and pointed at the bright red clouds, told Li Cheng Yin: "A type of tree by the desert lake has red leaves that are as red as the clouds, like a bright light, the leaves look very beautiful when they are reflected in the water of the lake! When I was born, my mother said, ah, it's a girl! She was so happy because before she has only given birth to boys. She felt that since she had finally given birth to a baby girl, in the future her daughter would be able to wear red clothes that are as red as like the leaves of the Maerqima trees, the red clothes would look so beautiful when reflected in the water of the lake, so she named me Maerqima. That type of tree was called Maerqima."</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span>The </span><span>glow</span><span> from the </span><span>sunset reflected on her face. H</span><span>er cheeks did not have any blush powder put on, but her cheeks seem to turn red when the </span><span>light was reflected on her face</span><span>. She was sitting on the sandy hill while hugging her knees, even her clothing was dyed in red by the sunset glow. Li Cheng Yin suddenly realized that she really loved to wear red clothes. Every time she came to see him, she wore red clothes, even when he sneaked into the Imperial City of Western Liang and saw her. He suddenly thought of the red cloud like object that slowly fell by the curtain, and of the girl's smooth back, he could not help his face and ears from suddenly turning red. Fortunately the Princess did not have a scheming heart, and under the sunset glow, she did not notice anything strange about him. He lifted his head to look at the clouds, he said: "In the Central Plains, there is also a type of tree that when in autumn, the leaves would turn as red as the clouds. That type of tree is called the Maple tree."</span></span><br />
<br />
The Princess clapped her hands and said: "That's great, <span style="background-color: white;">if my name uses Central Plains' words</span>, then it would be Feng."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"The ladies in the Central Plains are all called Mou Niang, then I will call you Feng Niang."<br />
<br />
"I don't want to be called Feng Niang, it sounds horrible." The Princess <span style="background-color: white;">pouted her mouth</span>, "I want to be called Xiao Feng. If I am called Xiao Feng, then you will be called Xiao Wu, this sounds about right."</div>
<div>
<br />
Li Cheng Yin looked at her pair of eyes that were shining brightly like jewels under the sunset glow, and unconsciously nodded his head: "Xiao Feng is a good name."</div>
<div>
<br />
"Then I will be called Xiao Feng!" The Princess was so happy that she stood up and <span style="background-color: white;">shouted at the sun far off into the distance</span>, "I have a Central Plains name! My name is Xiao Feng! My name is Xiao Feng......."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her voice echoed through the sea for a long time, the wind blowing the sand, as if the sound was accompanying her voice.<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin sat on the sandy hill. Watching her dance under the sunset glow made him smile unconsciously.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao had stationed the Yu Lin army under the snow mountain and would not enter the city until some time have passed. On this day, Li Cheng Yin suddenly rode his horse out of the city and returned to the camp. He thought something had happened to him, as Li Cheng Yin seemed very upset. He pulled out a gerbil from his arms, which stood upright in his palm, not moving.</div>
<div>
<br />
Pei Zhao was surprised that he could not help but called out: "Your Highness." Li Cheng Yin said: "I didn't notice for a moment, letting A'Ba slip out of the cage, who knew it would climb into a jar and secretly ate too many broad beans, suddenly choke to death."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin said: "On my way back to the camp, I saw quite a few gerbil holes, so we could catch a gerbil that looked like A'Ba, she probably wouldn't notice anything different."<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Seeing that it was a trivial matter, Pei Zhao couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered people to capture a gerbil. If the soldiers have nothing to do, they would always cause trouble. Even though they dug the gerbil holes, they just played for fun, causing trouble. The gerbils at the foot of the snow mountain were pitiful, countless gerbils were captured, sorted based on fur colour and their size, then they were placed in cages for Li Cheng Yin to pick. </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
After half a day have passed, Li Cheng Yin finally picked a gerbil that looked exactly like A’Ba and said with satisfaction: "This is the one.” He placed the gerbil in the cage, said, "A’Ba! Do not reveal the secret, if Xiao Feng calls you, you must remember that you are A’Ba."<br />
<br />
The gerbil just squeaked, how could it understand? Li Cheng Yin brought the gerbil back to the city, but Pei Zhao was worried, so he went to the city the next day to see Li Cheng Yin. At the same time, the Ninth Princess recognized that the gerbil was not A’Ba, angrily lifted the curtain to walk out, but stopped and said: "This is not my A’Ba! Liar! Gu Xiao Wu, you're a big liar! I will not care about you anymore!"<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">The reed curtain hit the wall very loudly. The Princess angrily whipped her horse to leave, not paying attention to Pei Zhao. Pei Zhao lifted the curtain and saw Li Cheng Yin sitting in front of the table, looking carefully at the gerbil that was in the cage, unhappily said: “How did she notice it? This gerbil look exactly like A’Ba.”</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao said: "She had raised that gerbil, so naturally she would recognize the differences."<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin sighed: "It's the first time I've seen her so angry since I've met her. How is this good?"<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
For several days, the Princess was still very angry, however Li Cheng Yin wasn't worried, because the Yu Lin army beneath the Tian Gen mountain have heard that a group of Siamese merchant have brought along an acrobatic troupe. In two days, they will be in the Imperial City of Western Liang to perform acrobatics. <span style="background-color: white;">This kind of excitement, he knows that the Princess will definitely want to come and watch the show.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #ffd966;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">As expected, by that day it was really lively.</span> If there were ten groups of merchants, at least nine groups would stop by Western Liang to rest, organizing their camel caravans. There were also some merchants selling cloths that came from the east, and silk as well. Further down the west direction, it was bustling and crowded even outside the city. When the acrobat show was about to start, the sound of drums could be heard, echoing through the mountain, all the floors were filled with spectators.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Li Cheng Yin had rented a warehouse located on the main street of the Imperial City under the name Gu Xiao Wu. The tea leaves from the Central Plains sell well here, many people came, some of them were the Yu Lin army pretending to be merchants, while others were real merchants buying tea leaves. The street was crowded with spectators, knowing that there were so many people, he closed the warehouse door and went onto the roof to watch the lively scene.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Because Western Liang barely rains, the rooftops are flat. On the rooftop of the warehouse, there were racks of air dried tea leaves. He sat at the corner of the roof. As expected, he saw the Princess in the crowd, clapping her hands along happily, because a Siamese was walking on a rope. The thickness of the rope was as thick as a thumb, and that person was carrying two buckets of water, swaying while walking on the rope, it was rare that there wasn't even a single drop of water spilled.</span></div>

<div>
The title of this side story is part of a verse from a famous poem from the Song Dynasty, known as Partridge Sky - That Night the Jackdaws Worry, written by Xin Qiji who is a military official. On the surface, the poem is about a beautiful woman who suffered from the grief of separation and her yearning for someone. The actual underlining meaning of the poem is the poet expressing their incapability of achieving their own ideal political view. His dream was to help reunite the country under the Song Dynasty because the troops of the Jin Kingdom had invaded the country, which caused the collapse of the Song Dynasty. He was never able to achieve his dream because he had opposed an appeasement policy, which resulted him from being removed from his post. The full verse of the poem in which the title of the side story is part of, means that if one did not experience the grief of separation, then they would not believe that someone's hair could turn white as a result of the feeling of grief.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(Partridge and Jackdaw are different types of bird species.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also I forgot to mention a detail from the previous side story. A'Mu's name is 阿<b>穆</b> which has the same pronunciation as 木, while Chaoyang's name is Feng Huang (<b>凤</b>凰). When you combine the two names, it would be Feng (枫) which is Xiao Feng's name (小枫). It is speculated that Li Cheng Yin's son and daughter were named after Xiao Feng.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sorry for the slow update, but this side story is hard to translate.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
.................</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
The sky was grey with a hint of green, the earth was deep and distant. The stars have become blurred as the moon sets, the tip of the grass leaves were covered with condensed dew, and the sound of grasshoppers gradually became sparse. The sky was about to brighten, a faint bright light could be seen in the east.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gu Jian rode his horse to the top of the sandy hill and waited quietly.<br />
<br />
The ink coloured sky slowly disappeared. The bright light from the east slowly covered the sky, becoming brighter and brighter, as if more and more clear water were seeping into the ink coloured sea. It was not noticeable at first, but gradually the sky became as transparent as coloured glass, turning into a deep peacock blue with a hint of purple. The ink colour was fading rapidly, even the sky in the west was turning purple, and soon after, the east sky was already bright, the sun had emerged and was emitting the first golden ray of light.<br />
<br />
The first rays of sunlight made the dew on the grass leaves look very bright, like countless glittering crystal beads scattered in a endless green field. The horse snorted, then lowered its head to eat the grass leaves, as several grasshoppers jumped up from the grasses. This was the best season, with mountains being surrounded by green grasses, and the morning wind blowing the grasses like green waves. The star-like wildflowers were mixed into the sea of green grasses, the distant snow mountain was like a huge piece of ice, with the golden ray of sunlight outlining the mountain.<br />
<br />
Gu Jian waited patiently, a distant sound could be heard which seemed like the sound of rain, but also seemed like the sound of the grasses being blown by the wind.</div>
<div>
<br />
After a moment, the sound was getting closer and louder. The distant sound that was at first like the distant sound of muffled thunder during the summertime, after a short period of time have passed, it was clear that the sound was the sound of horses' footsteps.<br />
<br />
Gu Jian squinted his eyes, the sound of horses' footsteps was getting closer and clearer, the group of riders were heading towards the sun. Gradually, Gu Jian could clearly see the riders' saddles, and the stern face of the leader when they removed their helmet.<br />
<br />
Gu Jian rode his horse there to welcome the group, the horse had rest for a long period of time so its movement was effortless, quickly arriving to welcome the group. The leader of the group was Pei Zhao, Gu Jian recognized him, but did not like this person, he asked: "Where is Wu Lang?"<br />
<br />
Only the closest people around him would refer to him by this name. Pei Zhao is a very reserved person, which is why Gu Jian always felt he was very boring. Sure enough, Pei Zhao replied in the <span style="background-color: white;">usual way</span>: "His Highness has entered the city."<br />
<br />
Gu Jian was shocked and asked: "He went alone?"</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Pei Zhao nodded, he is Li Cheng Yin's trusted confidant, a man of noble descent, while Gu Jian is someone that wanders in the Jianghu. Two different types of people, although they knew each other, but they would not talk much.</span><br />
<br />
Gu Jian raised his eyebrows: "Why did you not stop him?"<br />
<br />
Pei Zhao could not answer. Li Cheng Yin is a very cautious person, no matter who it is, one would be cautious in the Eastern Palace. However in the military, Li Cheng Yin becomes a person who doesn’t care about anything. The country requires that whoever lives in the Eastern Palace must lead the army. The emperor would let the crown prince be the general, but there is something different in Li Cheng Yin’s case. Before he became the crown prince, he was ordered to go to the Changzhou army, changing his family name to become a military official under the Governor of Changzhou, Wu Shu. He was walking around when he encountered an enemy army who came to invade. He didn’t escape but instead fought with all his strength until Wu Shu's army came to back him up and push back the enemy. Li Cheng Yin’s soldiers had already died by a few hundred, and he himself was injured. Wu Shu who came to rescue him was sweating cold sweat when he saw Li Cheng Yin's condition, <span style="background-color: white;">urgently writing and submitting a memorandum to confess his own faults</span>, because after all this is the emperor's son, so if anything happens to him, what good would come out of it?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However Li Cheng Yin was completely fine, letting the doctor pull out the arrows and wrapping the wound. Once they have reached their army tent, he stopped the envoy who was about to go to the Capital, then he threw the memorandum that was written by Wu Shu into the fire basin, the white silk fabric with ink marks was instantly turned into ashes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
"I am fine, Father is currently at the Capital which is far away from here, why make him worried?”<br />
<br />
Wu Shu was born from the Hu [1] clan. He has a rough and straightforward personality,<span style="background-color: white;"> so court officials would often privately make fun of him by calling him a reckless man, but if he was a reckless man, how could he be in the position of a Governor?</span> Those arrows were shot from behind, although the arrows did not injure the crucial parts of the body, it was still very dangerous. <span style="background-color: white;">Wu Shu understood, even though there were many locusts on the battlefield, Li Cheng Yin was ambushing the enemy, the Rong Di army, who had crossed the river and was caught off guard, and because they were too close, the Rong Di army never had the opportunity to shoot the arrows, both sides were fighting in a close range. So Li Cheng Yin being shot by two arrows was a very strange matter.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Wu Shu sighed in silence.<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin have fought in wars for two years alongside Wu Shu, bravely advancing, being successful in every way, gradually gaining prestige in the army. People did not know his exact origin, they only know that he was someone of noble descent from the Capital. H<span style="background-color: white;">owever he did not have the arrogance of a noble person, </span><span style="background-color: white;">when he was fighting in wars, he didn’t care much about his own self. E</span>veryone in the camp had to take turns doing tiring tasks, such as getting rid of horse dungs, carrying bags of food and repairing the ditches.... and Li Cheng Yin was no exception, he has never tried to avoid doing these tasks.<br />
<br />
Wu Shu initially felt that dealing with his Majesty’s son would be a troublesome matter, however over the past two years, he has developed sincere respect for this person. Wu Shu attentively taught him everything from military skills to dealing with political affairs. If it wasn’t for Li Cheng Yin’s identity, Wu Shu would have regarded him as his disciple. Their relationship were like friends despite the age difference.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
After spending two years in Changzhou, Li Cheng Yin accumulated enough military achievements and gradually revealed his abilities, so someone from the Capital had returned claiming that he had persuaded his Majesty to recall Li Cheng Yin back to the Capital.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wu Shu along with his own army accompanied Li Cheng Yin until they have reached Wuding River. During the deep autumn, the riverside was full of reeds, like a land filled with snow. Wu Shu did not get off his horse, instead threw a leather wine pouch, saying: "If you are not happy in the Capital, you can return to Changzhou to drink wine with me!"<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin took the wine pouch, opened it and drank one mouthful of wine. He tightened the lid of the wine pouch, placed the pouch behind the saddle, looked at Wu Shu and then cupped his hands before crossing the river. When he reached the shore, he turned around to look back, Wu Shu was still on his horse in the middle of the reeds. The reeds looked like snowflakes when it was blown by the wind, a few strands were stuck on his beard.<br />
<br />
Wu Shu saw Li Cheng Yin go and then returned, heading back into the water, he was surprised. Li Cheng Yin was already in front of him with his horse, reaching his hand to remove the two strands of reed from his beard, then throwing it away. It was only then that Wu Shu was aware of that, he couldn't help but grin. He extended his arms, he brought Li Cheng Yin into his embrace according to the rites of the Hu clan, gently patting his back. There were many things that they both wanted to say, but there was no need to say it.</div>
<div>
<br />
After Li Cheng Yin crossed the river, he did look back again. Wu Shu waited there until he went far away and could no longer see him again, then he turned around to go back.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That leather wine pouch was brought back to the Capital, but Li Cheng Yin was unwilling to drink from it again. This wine was made of glutinous rice mixed with mare's milk, stronger than any of the wines in the Capital. When one gets used to drinking wine that could burn knives, the Capital's wines seemed weak in comparison.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">It was just that no one could've known that the parting with Wu Shu would mean parting forever</span>. Not long after Li Cheng Yin returned to the Capital, Wu Shu was killed by his adopted son, Qi Qi Ya, who seized military power, proudly submitting a memorandum to the emperor to request that the title of Governor of Changzhou be given to him along with the title of Protectorate Governor of Yanran.<br />
<span style="background-color: #f7cb4d;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">This resulted in a huge uproar in court. Li Cheng Yin insisted on leading the army to pacify the rebellion, however since Bohai Sea was under intense battle, the emperor still issued an imperial edict to grant Qi Qi Ya's request, while also allowing Li Cheng Yin to lead the army.</span><br />
<br />
During the ninth year of Yuan Qing, Prince Jin, Li Cheng Yin was appointed as Crown Prince. The war at Bohai Sea had been settled, but Qi Qi Ya knows that there is conflict between him and the Eastern Palace, which he could not tolerate. Clenching one's teeth, he decided to raise his flag to lead the rebellion, appointing himself as the Khan, making Changzhou and Yingzhou as a khanate [2], creating policies against clans such as the Mohe [3] clan. Li Cheng Yin personally led the army in the expedition, while Pei Zhao would be assisting him.<span style="background-color: #f7cb4d;"><br /></span><br />
It was only then that Pei Zhao saw Li Cheng Yin's reckless behavior in the army, <span style="background-color: white;">he was the one who had jumped naked into the river with a group of soldiers to take a bath, he was also the one who would not be willing to follow orders.</span> The route for the food supply was interrupted so it was difficult to have enough food. They could only eat the shells of beans and continue marching in the snowstorm. It was him who would not care whether the soldiers were cold and hungry, but it was also him who uses his own horse to carry wounded soldiers.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Under such reckless commands, the army however still succeeded in winning the war. Qi Qi Ya's army tried to escape, but was stopped by the army. Qi Qi Ya's army was surrounded by thousands of soldiers. Qi Qi Ya had already dropped his weapon to surrender, but Li Cheng Yin faintly said: "Won't accept."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Although these two words were said very lightly through his thin lips, but those words were ruthless</span>, the people around him couldn't help but take in a deep breath. Even Pei Zhao had no choice but to persuade him to stop: "General, killing prisoners is an inauspicious thing to do...."<br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin said: "They are not prisoners, they could still fight.”<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Qi Qi Ya still had the courage of a traitor, as expected once he gathered his army, he would charge again, but since his army was surrounded, there was no way of changing the outcome of the war. In the end Qi Qi Ya rode his horse to the front of his army, the distance between the two armies were still half an arrow away.<br />
<br />
The opposing army was cautious, ordering everyone to use their spears to stab Qi Qi Ya to death, his corpse was then thrown heavily to the ground, numerous spears were thrown to confirm that he was dead. Li Cheng Yin slowly rode his horse over, suddenly he felt a cold sensation on his face, apparently it started to snow.<br />
<br />
The snow fell silently, the world was boundless, <span style="background-color: white;">occasionally the sound of horses neighing could be heard.</span> Li Cheng Yin looked at Qi Qi Ya's bloody face that was slowly being covered by the snowflakes, soft that were like the reeds by the Wuding river. He grabbed the leather pouch from the back of his saddle, unscrewed the silver cap, and poured the wine onto the snow, letting it seep into the snow. It disappeared instantly, <span style="background-color: white;">as if it was like the warm embrace he had once received from a father-like figure.</span><br />
<br />
Once Li Cheng Yin had finished pouring the wine, he threw away the leather pouch and rode his horse to leave. Pei Zhao couldn't help but look back. The leather pouch had fallen into the snow, <span style="background-color: white;">already looking very shabby and old. He recognized this thing because Li Cheng Yin would always carry it around with him. Pei Zhao did not know what he was thinking, but only felt that the Li Cheng Yin who had recklessly led the army, seemed to have disappear. Right now in front of him was the Li Cheng Yin who is the Crown Prince, reserved and steady with unpredictable thoughts. Even in the army, he seemed so lonely.</span><br />
<br />
Li Cheng Yin led the army to return to the Capital. They did not cross the river yet, but suddenly he got sick. At first, he started to vomit and and then have diarrhea. Not long after, he began to vomit blood two or three days later. The military doctor felt helpless, only saying that it was caused by the unpleasant air in his body.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao sent someone to report to the emperor about this while opening a sack that was given by his father. His father had warned him to only open the sack during critical situations. When the army had won the war, Pei Zhao thought that there was no need to use the sack anymore.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It turns out there was nothing else inside besides a black pill wrapped in oil paper, which was very glossy. With a glance, he could not identify what it was.</div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Pei Zhao thought for a while before taking out his knife to scrape a bit of the powder from the pill, hesitantly putting it into his own mouth, a spiciness could be felt in his mouth, once it’s swallowed it caused his own body to sweat because of the spiciness.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">He’s a very cautious man, waited for half a day, but there wasn’t any side effects. At this time, Li Cheng Yin had vomiting blood again before falling asleep, the doctors kept on feeding him medicine, but there was no signs of recovery. Seeing that there was no one in the tent, Pei Zhao quietly grabbed the medicine pill, pouring a cup of water from his own water pouch, lifted Li Cheng Yin up to feed him the medicine pill.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin was so sick that he was feeling dizzy, using all his strength just to open his eyes to look at him. But he did not ask anything, only swallowing the water that was fed to him..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">A few days later, Li Cheng Yin finally became conscious, slowly recovering. Pei Zhao was still not at ease, using the excuse that the servants serving Li Cheng Yin were being incompetent, sending those servants to the horse shed to do dirty tasks. He switched the servants with the guards he had brought from his own household, and despite that, he must taste the food everyday before giving it to Li Cheng Yin.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While they were alone, Li Cheng Yin said: "Ah Zhao saved me again."<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao said: “It was this subject that was too careless, it should have occurred to me that someone was unwilling to allow your Highness to return after winning the war."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Li Cheng Yin laughs: "Anyways it’s not the first time that has happened, I am neither the son of the first wife or the eldest son, so for me to be living in the Eastern Palace, it would arouse the envy of others."</span></div><div><br />
Pei Zhao had held back the words that he wanted to say. Before he had strongly urged Li Cheng Yin not to lead the army himself. Losing the war would be unfavourable, but winning the war would be even worse.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
He was already the crown prince who will eventually ascend the throne. The right thing to do is to make no mistakes, why put yourself in danger?<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
At this time, Li Cheng Yin faintly said: "You don't understand, I must take Qi Qi Ya’s life."<br />
<br />
If someone else had went, they would have just captured Qi Qi Ya alive, giving him to the Emperor. The Emperor would exempt him from punishment, but would still confine him in the Capital as an act of surrender to the Mohe clan.<br />
<br />
Even Pei Zhao doesn’t understand why a crown prince who has always been wise and decisive must be so reckless in this matter.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For example, he wanted to sneak into Western Liang. Pei Zhao had originally wanted to send someone to inquire about the King of Western Liang, but he didn’t expect that Li Cheng Yin wanted to sneak into Western Liang alone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pei Zhao tried to persuade him not to go alone, but Li Cheng Yin said: "Eventually I am going to marry her, can’t I take a look first?”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Those words made Pei Zhao speechless, even if he was mature and prudent, he could not stop this young man’s bold and justifiable reasoning.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Therefore, Pei Zhao could only lead the Yu Lin army to meet up with Gu Jian first. At this moment, Li Cheng Yin had already sneaked into the imperial city of Western Liang.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Western Liang is a country in the west that provides a large source of food, so many merchants would come here to do business. However this country is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, <span style="background-color: white;">the walls of the palace were made out of sand and bricks, and white mud was used to make the place look clean, grasses were grown in the middle of the palace</span>. Many rooms in the palace were empty, there was no bed, only a woven mat made out of sheepskin could be seen.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin had never imagined that the palace would be so simple. It was his first time acting as a thief, so he couldn’t help but take a deep breath, going through each palace room, <span style="background-color: white;">but he was still empty handed by the morning.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Li Cheng Yin was not discouraged even though all his efforts were in vain. He was about to leave the palace, when he heard some noise, so he hid behind the wall. A few palace maids were seen carrying buckets of hot water, splashing water at each other and laughing along the way. Hearing that the palace maids were talking about the ninth princess, Li Cheng Yin immediately climbed up the roof.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">No one knew that the palace maids would carry the buckets of water into one of the palace rooms, and that these palace rooms are connected together, but the roof was not connected using beams. Seeing that it was inconvenient to sneak inside from the roof, Li Cheng Yin walked around in circles until he has reached the back room, he jumped into the rear window when he noticed that no one was around. When he saw that the reed curtains were hanging down, he gently pushed the curtains to the side with the sheath of his sword. Suddenly a red cloud like object was thrown at the curtains, Li Cheng Yin thought he had been discovered, he was so shocked that he pulled the sword out of the sheath. The famous sword he was using was so sharp that it could cut through gold, anything could vanish in a flash such as this red cloud like object which was cut apart by the sword, silently falling to the ground. Li Cheng Yin’s vision was looking at a young girl’s back that was as smooth as jade, the sunlight was scattered on her back through the curtains, which coated a thin layer of golden colour onto the skin.</span></div>
