The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 1

Carved bed, lotus color curtains.

She just lay there, staring at everything in front of her in confusion.

This is where?Why is the picture in front of her so similar to the scene in her dream just now?

While I was in a daze, I suddenly heard a girl's surprised voice coming from my ear, "Miss, you...wake up!"

She turned her head to look, and saw a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, which surprised her again... This girl dressed as a servant girl is also the same as in the dream, isn't she still awake?
She didn't dare to answer, and shook her palms calmly, "Hiss!" The pain of the long nails digging into the flesh made her grit her teeth.

Not dreaming!This is real!
The girl in front of her was puzzled by her actions, and hesitated: "Miss? Miss, what's wrong with you, why don't you speak? Don't you recognize me? I'm Yanling!"

Yan Ling?

Sure enough, she was exactly the same as in the dream, she was really Yanling, the Yanling who grew up with her, since she was Yanling, then she was... Chu Xue?
"Xue'er, Xue'er, you're awake, you're finally awake! Don't worry about dying!"

Just as she was thinking, another voice came, and she was about to get up, when she saw a middle-aged woman dressed as a noble lady approaching. The woman was sitting beside her bed, with tears in her eyes, and she was covering her warm hand On the forehead.

"aunt……"

She let out an exclamation but was completely covered by the woman. The woman's eyes were full of fear. The nurse next to her hurriedly turned around to close the door. Only the four closest people were left in the room. The woman asked in a low voice, "Xue'er, what's wrong with you? Didn't you get confused? Don't you remember... being your mother?"

Confused?She had a headache, and it was only after a while that she finally remembered that she was hit hard before going to bed. If she were Chu Xue, then she should indeed call the person in front of her "mother", and the "aunt" just now would indeed cause serious problems Consequences, even... death!
But if she is really Chu Xue, then the lengthy dream just now is just her memory, all the memories of the past 16 years.However, what happened to the car accident before falling into the dream, and the upside down that followed the bus that fell off the cliff?The pain at that time was so real... She couldn't help pinching herself again, trying her best to distinguish whether it was a dream or reality, but the pain in the palm of her hand still clearly told herself that this is reality and everything is real!
She tried her best to think, and finally realized something after a while. Did her soul go back to more than 1000 years ago?In other words, the [-] years of climbing down the cliff before, that was just a dream!

Seeing her frowning and not speaking, the nanny in the room said, "Ma'am, miss probably has a fever, why don't you ask the doctor to take a look?"

"Okay, okay. Hurry up and call the doctor!" Madam hurriedly replied.

But Mammy raised her foot to open the door, but the housekeeper outside came in and said, "Ma'am, Prince Heng's mansion has sent an imperial doctor, who is waiting in the front hall. Would you like to come in and give Miss a pulse?"

Madam looked at her, "Xue'er, are you okay? Can you... let the imperial doctor come in to see you?"

She stayed there for a while, then Fang nodded, "Just let the doctor come over, mother, I'm fine, don't worry..."

Seeing that her speech was finally normal, the mother was relieved a little, and told the butler outside the door: "Please come in the imperial doctor."

Through the bed curtain, her hand was covered with a piece of tulle, and the imperial doctor focused on her pulse.After a while, the imperial doctor raised his hand, stood up and replied politely: "Madam, don't worry, Miss's health is fine, and she should be back to the same as before after a few more days of rest. It's just that you still have to be on time for these few days." Just take the medicine, write a prescription later, and ask someone from the house to get the medicine."

Madam was relieved, and said politely: "Mr. Trouble! It's almost noon. Please do me a favor and stay for a light meal today."

"His Royal Highness has been thinking about Miss's illness, and I will return to the palace later, so I won't bother you."

The imperial doctor raised his pen to write down the prescription, then politely said goodbye and left the mansion.

Hengwang?

Another name came into her ears, reminding her of another event, an important event. One month later, she will marry into Heng Wang's mansion and become Heng Wang Song Chen's second side concubine.

The second side concubine was his fourth woman... Her heart sank.

After the upheaval eight years ago, she was still a young girl who no longer dared to dream of a man with a white horse. She no longer expected to marry a good man. Beside her parents who are as heavy as mountains, she even thought about not marrying all her life and caring for her parents until the end of her life-although this is also impossible.

Although Heng Wang Yibiao is the best among the princes, even though he is only a young man and not very old, but marrying him as a side concubine is actually just a concubine, or the third concubine, which still makes her feel a little embarrassed accept.

She knew that her father and mother were not willing at first, but she was able to invite her father Chu Lin's old friend and boss, Zhou Fuzhi Zhou Taiwei to come to the door to talk about matchmaking in person, Heng Wang's wishes are obviously very firm, besides, she has never been engaged, and it is not a good idea to flatly refuse .Despite some embarrassment, the Chu family agreed to the marriage.After all, to be able to marry into the palace, no matter whether she is a regular wife or not, is already a rare blessing in the eyes of ordinary women.

What's more, this was her own decision before she fell into a coma.

a month ago.

A carriage drove out from the Prince Heng's Mansion and walked slowly on the streets of the capital.

Sitting upright inside is the third son of the emperor Hengwang Song Chen.Hengwang deliberately dressed in a low-key manner today, and there was only one destination, which was the residence of Yushi Chulin.

This time, the emperor suddenly summoned some of their princes who were entrusted outside the city to return to the capital. Although the reason on the surface was to hold a birthday banquet, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a deep meaning behind it. I can't bear the prince's fatuousness and incompetence, and I have already planned to abolish the reserve and make a new choice.

Although the emperor remained calm on the surface, and his attitude towards the prince was the same as before, Heng Wang was by no means the only one who saw the way.

The court has always been changing rapidly. The princes have just returned to Beijing for more than a month, and several important court officials who are aware of current affairs have already offered olive branches to King Heng. Since they are important court officials, their choices will definitely affect the future of the entire dynasty.

They don't know in their hearts that among the seven grown-up princes of the Holy Majesty, only the third son, King Heng, is the most like his father in terms of decision-making. The ability to govern is comparable to that of the capital, and this ability cannot be compared to the prince who has been living in the capital but has made no achievements.

The emperor naturally saw these achievements.

The decision to re-establish the waste reserve may only be missed by an opportunity and a reason.

Whether or not the timing can be accurately grasped is the key that will affect King Heng's life and even the future of the entire dynasty.

As a prince, no one would believe him if he said he didn't miss the dragon chair, and he was a prince with both ability and political integrity.Comparing the Prince and Heng Wang, if one had to find a point of excellence, it would be that the Prince's biological mother was the Empress, and Heng Wang's biological mother was a noble concubine.

Since the founding of Kuang Daqi, the kings of the two generations have not been princes, so for this dynasty, whether it is orthodox or not does not seem to be so important.

After all, the intentions of the powerful ministers are very clear, and now it's up to Chu Lin, the censor.

Chu Lin looks mediocre on the surface, but he is actually a tough one. This can be seen from the handling of several major court cases in the past few decades since he took office. One of the most important ministers I rely on in my heart.

Prince Junya in the carriage frowned slightly. Logically speaking, if Chu Lin was clear-headed, he should choose himself, but if he was a little pedantic, it was possible to stand under the orthodox formation.But no matter what, King Heng will take this opportunity of returning to Beijing to pull him to his side.

But how to win over is a problem.

He has no close friendship with Chu Lin, and besides, Chu Lin has never been a person who is good at profit-seeking, so this time he can only visit Chu's mansion in the name of discussing politics. As for the others, he can only play by ear later.

In order to avoid other people's eyes and ears, King Heng specially got out of the car when he was still some distance away from the Chu Mansion, and took only a plainclothes guard with him, and walked leisurely to the gate of the Chu Mansion.

The time Heng Wang chose was actually very particular. It was past noon, Master Chu must have finished his business and rested at home, and there should be no other people to disturb him, it was just right for them to discuss business.

Sure enough, when King Heng arrived, Master Chu was at home, and after passing the message, King Heng easily saw him.

The prince came to the door in person, and Chu Lin naturally received him with trepidation. Since he has been in a high position for decades, he is of course aware of the recent situation in the court, and he also understands that the prince is embarrassing, but he has never behaved like other colleagues. As smooth as he was, he was also waiting for an opportunity.

They are both people with a community in their hearts, and the negotiation between the two went very smoothly, but it was a coincidence that not long after the meeting started, the housekeeper hurried in to inform, and another rare visitor came outside the door, it was the prince.

Ever since he was a child, he has been involved in too many things by the prince, the second elder brother. Heng Wang has long been used to it, but this time it is just a coincidence?

He smiled lightly, and said to Chu Lin, who had a troubled expression on his face, "I heard that the garden in your mansion is very beautiful. I wonder if I have a chance to see you today?"

The crown prince has already arrived at the door, even if King Heng bids farewell at this time, he will definitely bump into each other. It is obviously not a good thing for anyone to meet the two princes in his own mansion. Chu Lin understands that King Heng's move is to avoid meeting the prince face to face He then respectfully said: "In this case, I will wrong Your Highness first, please forgive me for not accompanying me."

King Heng nodded and went to the garden of Chu Mansion.

After walking a few steps, he ordered the attendant beside him to find an opportunity to go to the front yard, and the guard left immediately. He was strolling in the garden while secretly making plans.

The weather in early summer was changeable. While he was walking, a torrential rain fell without warning. He looked around and saw a pavilion sheltered from the rain on the lotus pond not far away, so he hurried over.

Coincidentally, there was a young girl hiding from the rain in the pavilion, it was Chu Xue.

The young girl was feeding the fish in the pavilion today, and Yan Ling, who was accompanying her, happened to leave for a while, just in time for the torrential rain.

During a torrential rain, the lady in the pavilion met the prince who came in to take shelter from the rain.

Hearing the hurried footsteps, Chu Xue thought it was Yan Ling who had come back, and was about to tease her for being drenched in the rain, but when she turned around, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and the man who suddenly appeared in front of her surprised her a little.

The man was also taken aback when he saw her, his handsome eyes froze on her.

She was wearing a light-colored embroidered skirt, with only a sapphire blue bow on her black hair in a cloud bun. Although she was dressed in a very simple and elegant way, it couldn't hide her bright appearance.Coupled with the gaze of the person in front of her at this moment, she Shengxue Aoshuang's face rose a touch of crimson, this color is far better than the most precious rouge in the world.

She is indeed beautiful, and it is understandable for people to look at her like this, but she seldom goes out, and rarely sees strangers' faces on weekdays, so despite her gentle temperament, the gaze of this strange man in front of her still makes her a little bit Sullen, she turned her lower body, and her voice was a little cold: "Who are you, and why are you in my house? Don't you think it's a bit too much to look at people like this?"

Although King Heng had heard that Lord Chu Lin had a daughter, he didn't know that she was such a beautiful woman. Therefore, even though he was a prince and had seen countless beauties in the past 30 years, he was still amazed just now. The girl was angry, and he realized that the gaze just now was indeed impolite.

The girl didn't know his identity, and she didn't blame him for being rude. Besides, although he was a prince, he was still in his mansion after all. He lowered his head and smiled, bowed down politely, and sincerely apologized, " Please forgive me for being rude, but I came to visit Master Chu, and I came to the garden because of my lord's sudden business, but unexpectedly caught up with the heavy rain, so I had to come here in a hurry to escape. I was rude just now, please forgive me."

Next?The only person in this world who can make him claim to be superior is probably the girl in front of him.

Although Cai Cai's eyes were a little rude, his words were still sincere. Chu Xue sized him up silently, and saw that he looked like a refined gentleman, dressed in ordinary clothes that could hardly conceal his extravagance. But her figure was very calm, she should be a well-educated young master, she didn't look like she was lying, so she coughed lightly and said calmly: "Since she is father's guest, then the little girl was rude, please forgive me, young master." While speaking, he gave a light gift.

He paused slightly, there was dignity under the beauty, which actually suits him well.

But this time he just nodded with a smile, and then turned his eyes away from her. You must know that Deng Tuzi's frivolity does not suit his age and status.

There is a pool of clear water in front of the pavilion, and the back of the pavilion is full of begonias.

The girl in the pavilion has a reddish complexion, like a crabapple blooming late after the rain.

Stunning.

Both of them were silent. There was a moment of embarrassment in the rain shelter. Fortunately, the torrential rain came and went quickly, but when the rain stopped for a while, Yan Ling, who was going to fetch things, also rushed over and said anxiously: "Miss , you didn't get wet, did you?"

Sure enough, it was Miss Chu's mansion.

Chu Xue chuckled, "Finally think of me? Now you care about people, why didn't you come when it rained?"

Yan Ling tried to trick her, "The rain will come and go quickly, besides, Miss is so smart, she must know how to wait for the servants in the pavilion, um, it's cool after the rain, Miss, let's go back to the room...Huh? Who is this young master?"

Following Yan Ling's doubts, Chu Xue thought of the guests in the pavilion, and said politely: "Young Master laughed, I don't know how long you have to wait, why don't you ask someone to serve you some refreshments."

He politely declined, "Don't bother..." While speaking, he caught a glimpse of the guard who was going to inquire and nodded at him not far away, then he smiled and said: "My father should have finished his work, and I should have passed it too. Excuse me, Miss, please forgive me."

She nodded, smiled goodbye, and left the gazebo.

Looking at the girl's leaving figure, Heng Wang's eyes suddenly flashed with relief.Today's encounter in the pavilion was just like a gust of wind, suddenly blowing away the fog that had accumulated in my heart for many days.

For the first time, the prince came at a good time.
