2009 Words
###Chapter2 Twenty-two years ago, the new emperor had been on the throne for more than two years, yet he had no children. The empress dowager Han Shuren put in quite a bit of effort for this, ordering people from rich families to common people to go from house to house. She must choose three beautiful women with outstanding appearances and talents to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine. "It's time for the current emperor to choose a concubine." Ming Xin master his fingers that were stroking the strings of the zither. He looked at the cold woman who was brewing tea. She was dressed in white clothes that surpassed snow, but she was more indifferent and cold than snow. "Master, before that, I want to return to the Qin Clan!" Mo Ming's lips were forcefully bit by Hao Ren's teeth, bleeding. Two years ago, Mingxin master strict with her rules, ten times more strict than when he was Wuwang Mountain when he was young. She was not allowed to go down the mountain, nor was she allowed to take revenge. Even if she returned to the ruined Qin's mansion to worship her parents, it was impossible. She stood with her eyes lowered as she waited for a clear master response. Tears slowly slid down her beautiful and calm face. She had nothing to ask for. "You can' t endure it, you can' t take revenge." A cup of clear tea fell from the person who spoke." From today onwards, you will descend the mountain." It was night. The moonlight was like cold water, and the cold wind was bleak. A wisp of a thin and determined white figure rode his horse overnight and ran towards the Ling'an Street. At that time, the Qin's mansion had already become extremely dilapidated. There was no longer anyone around them. From the peak of prosperity to the peak of depression, it had only been two years. "Father...... Mother...... "Shuang' er is back..." A wave of blood surged in her heart, but she couldn' t speak. She knelt down step by step and slowly crawled towards Qin's mansion door. The moment the already broken head heavily kowtowed towards the thick soil, Qin Rushuang felt a pang in his chest as he fell heavily to the ground. Mian Rou's hand forcefully grabbed at the broken door frame, and the paint peeled off into powder. The rotten old wood was torn into pieces, and in the end, it was tossed into the air and blown away by the wind...... The next morning, Qin Rushuang changed into a set of clean and simple clothes and put on some makeup. After quietly inserting the white jade hairpin, he calmly went to the imperial concubine selection. Her appearance was already outstanding to begin with. Even if her appearance had been destroyed after that great fire, her heart was bright master her hands were springing back. She had been removed from her skin, changed her appearance, and changed her voice. However, her innate elegance was still the same, and it wasn' t reduced by half because of the destruction of others. In addition to his versatility, his zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting were all perfect. Very quickly, Qin Rushuang was selected by the empress dowager's trusted aide Li Zonglin in the Ling' an Street primary contest. He directly followed the maids of Cining Palace with the daughters of other officials and nobles into the harem. This time, the Empress Dowager had personally chosen the competition. The new emperor did not know what was going on. After Qin Rushuang entered the palace, he stayed in the deep back garden of Cining Palace, the Zining Garden, to learn the etiquette of the palace. There was no other opportunity to approach the Han Wenxuan. She was a young lady from a noble family. She used to play in the palace, so she didn' t need to teach her many rules. Thus, within a few days, Qin Rushuang stood out among the many women. Along with Su magistrat's beloved daughter, Su Qing Wan, and today's prime minister's daughter, Song Yao was announced as the final candidate for the second wife. Three days later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the usual practice, the palace would have a grand banquet. The empress dowager Han Shuren seemed to have ulterior motives. She specially ordered the people below to create a difficult problem for the three concubines. Whoever could obtain the favor of the emperor on the Mid-Autumn Festival night with his talent would be elected as the concubine. Qin Rushuang didn't want to be here, so on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, she only wore a crimson gauze dress with eighteen pearls. Her black hair was gently coiled up, and she was accompanied by jade steps. She was elegant and beautiful, and she did n' t fight for it. ###Chapter3 On the Mid-Autumn Festival night, the Cosmic Palace was overflowing with streams of light and fragrance. The first person to appear was Su Qing Wan. She was as gentle and dignified as her name, and she was regions south of the Yangtze River number one beauty. After she finished playing the famous song Ni Shang Yu Yi Qu, all the civil and martial officials present applauded. Qin Rushuang raised his head and looked at the man on the throne. His eyes were bright and noble. Sitting next to him was the Chu Mei'er of the current Empress with her golden phoenix crown. However, when the woman of the Prime Minister Song Yao appeared, Chu Mei'er originally surprised expression quickly dimmed...... A single person had been promoted to the heavens. Chu Mei'er was originally a former imperial concubine, and his father was a Protector of the state general of the previous dynasty. Because of his crimes, he had been removed from his post by the Peace of the previous dynasty and exiled to the wilderness. Now, his daughter had become the Empress. This exiled former imperial general had since become a rank three official, and his position was second only to the current prime minister, Song Minshan. Chu Mei'er's expression was complicated, and he quickly turned to look at Han Wenxuan. However, he saw that the gazes of the people by his side were flowing on Song Yao body, and they didn' t want to move for a long time. A grand and graceful play sounded in the hall. Song Yao revealed a bright and beautiful smile as he took out his vigorous dance steps. He gave birth to a lotus step by step, and his eyes filled with looks that were unforgettable. When the famous dance' Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' ended, Han Wenxuan couldn' t help but walk off the throne. The empress dowager Han Shuren had never revealed her face before, but at this moment, her graceful and elegant face overflowed with praise. Qin Rushuang believed that the position of the second wife must be Song Yao. Seeing Han Wenxuan walking step by step towards the Song Yao, Qin Rushuang stood up. The white jade hairpin in his hand was warm and hot...... She was born for this moment! That insufferably indifferent gaze didn' t even cast a glance at her once. She was hidden in the darkness, and the granny behind her had already begun to remind her to appear. However, she was almost absent-minded, only that person in her eyes...... She saw Han Wenxuan hand with the green jade ring touching Song Yao face that was flushed from panic...... Just like he had treated her back then. "Huang, Huangshang..." Song Yao was undoubtedly pleasantly surprised. At the same time, he protected the elegant and shyness of a noble lady. "Your Majesty, there is another candidate." The Empress Chu Mei'er naturally followed the Emperor down. Chu Mei'er looked at the Qin Rushuang. Perhaps it was because Qin Rushuang dress was too simple and did not enter his opponent's eyes. Chu Mei'er coldly said," What? Why are you still standing there?" Qin Rushuang snapped back to his senses. He was only a step away from Han Wenxuan, and his palm was secretly pumping power...... However, just as she was about to make a move, a strong and calm aura passed by behind her. She felt that something was trapped under her feet. Just now, she had already been anxious to the point of attacking her heart. She didn' t have the time to withdraw her inner strength from her dantian when she suddenly fell down for no reason and fainted. In the end, he naturally missed the opportunity to assassinate the Emperor. At the same time, he was chased out of the palace. When she woke up, she discovered that she was standing on a small boat. Her body was completely undamaged, and that white jade hairpin was placed perfectly in her hair bun. A mouthful of tea was placed in his throat, and he thought about everything that had happened in the palace. It was extremely suspicious. At that time, the person who had caused her trouble couldn' t see her face clearly. Her movements seemed to be completely uncharacteristic, but they were as smooth as flowing water. To the extent that her power wasn' t light, she couldn' t sense anything. She didn' t have any acquaintances in the palace, nor did she have any enmity with others. Moreover, her appearance had changed, and her voice wasn' t like before. It was impossible for anyone to recognize her. Han Wenxuan, Chu Mei'er? Or someone else? Chapter 4 of the ###Chapter4 She was unsure. After paying for the food and wine, Qin Rushuang left the canoe. Ming Xin master said that the heaven-defying m******e two years ago did not affect Qin's mansion nine clans. Under General Qin's command, there was a soldier named Lin Yi. At that time, he had a mission to temporarily transfer to the northwest desert border. When the incident happened, he just so happened to escape this calamity. Now, he hid his name and started selling buns in an alley in Ling' an Street. His father had saved Lin Yi's life. Qin Rushuang thought that he might be able to join him and make his next move. The Steamed Bun Shop was easy to find, but Lin Yi was no longer the same face as before. It was unknown what kind of disaster he had experienced. Back then, the Deputy Commander Lin who had been unrestrained in the wind had now lost sight of his left eye. He wore a black eye mask all year, and there were several dark scars on his face. Fortunately, the steamed buns he made were cheap and delicious, and the commoners were willing to buy them. "Boss, how do you sell this bun!" "Two of them." "Boss looks very familiar!" "Miss, I don' t know what you' re talking about. I won' t be able to buy this steamed bun. If I don' t, I' ll close the door!" Lin Yi had already put away the steamer, intending to close the door. "The Steamed Bun wants to buy, but if General Qin sees this, will he feel relieved!" She was asking Lin Yi as well as herself. "Who are you?" Lin Yi changed his expression and lowered his voice. "Deputy Commander Lin...... "Father, if you are in the Heavenly Spirit, you will definitely be comforted!" The woman said heavily. Lin Yi couldn' t calm down for a long time. His hand holding the steamer was trembling...... "Young miss...... Was it you? "Heavens, I can see that you' re still alive..." The eight-footed man's tears didn' t light up, but now he was shedding hot tears, making Qin Rushuang heart ache. Lin Yi talking about the past, Qin Rushuang only knew that the other party's scar had fallen to protect his father's corpse, but it didn' t succeed...... Back then, in the Ling'an City, Qin Ran corpses were hung on the city gates, displaying the crowd for a full seven days. Lin Yi had once taken the risk to snatch it three times, but the new emperor's heart was strange. He had sent heavy soldiers to guard it. His eye injuries were caused by the imperial palace's elite guards. Later on, it was said that General Qin's corpse had been thrown into the countryside by the new emperor's order and left for the vulture as food.
