Chapter 3 Qinhuai Riverside 3
Returning to the princess's residence, the consort Xu Deyan was already waiting for him in the hall. Seeing that his beloved wife looked dull, he guessed the reason and immediately stepped forward to hold Princess Lechang's hands and asked: "But the emperor refuses to listen to your advice?
"He looked very caring.
Princess Lechang smiled bitterly and looked lonely: "Not only do you refuse to obey? You don't even have room for me to speak!"
She held her husband's arm and walked into the inner room with her. At the same time, she told her husband the whole story of their meeting.
After hearing this, Xu Deyan shook his head and sighed: "So, the situation is irreversible! Han Qinhu, He Ruobi stationed in Luzhou, and Guangling for many years have not dared to cross the river. This is because the Sui Dynasty was controlled by the Turks in the north.
, had no time to go south. Whenever our country harvested in autumn, he would send troops to plunder, which was to abolish our farming season and to make our country's warehouses run out of reserves. Now that the Turkic Khan has lost his new crown prince and there is internal turmoil, it is no longer enough to contain the Northern Dynasty. And our country
, the soldiers have no food and pay, and the horses have no fodder. In my opinion, within a few months, Han Qinhu will cross the Yangtze River and march south!" He sighed loudly: "By then, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed. You
I am inevitably separated, what should I do?"
Princess Lechang wept and said: "As a concubine who has lost her country, she has no choice but to live in Ye Ting. If so, you and I will never see each other again." At this point, she looked up at her husband and burst into tears:
"Enter Ye Ting! How could I, Chen Lechang, tolerate the invasion by Beidi's tyrants? I am destined to die!"
Xu Deyan was heartbroken and unspeakable. He hugged his beloved wife into his arms and said in a trembling voice: "If you seek death, how can I live alone? However, the princess has a rich body, how can you die so easily?" He held up his beloved wife's lifeless head.
, gently wiped away her tears, and at the same time carefully looked at the face of his beloved wife: "I have inherited family traditions since I was young, and I am proficient in the art of identifying people, but I know that neither you nor I died young. Maybe the situation can turn around?"
Princess Lechang choked up and said: "With such a great spirit of our family and country, how can there be any improvement?"
Xu Deyan said: "What I call a turning point is not about the strength of our family and country, but the separation and reunion of you and me." He looked deeply at his beloved wife and said slowly: "Your eyebrows are long and your temples are tall and smooth, and you are wise and happy;
Your eyes are long and slender, like paint, indicating a noble life; your eyes are clear and hidden, indicating longevity and longevity. Your luck and my luck for the past ten years are all between your eyebrows. There are no signs of premature death in your eyebrows.
, how can you die so easily?"
Princess Lechang said: "You said that the luck of these ten years is all in the Yintang, but you only praised my eyebrows and did not mention the Yintang, but the disaster actually lies in the Yintang?"
Xu Deyan sighed: "It's a pity that you have a needle hanging between your eyebrows to break the seal. At the age of twenty-eight, I'm afraid you will inevitably suffer from displacement."
Princess Lechang was shocked when she heard this: "I will be twenty-eight years old next year."
Xu Deyan let out a long sigh: "God's will is beyond human power." He held Princess Lechang's hands, and felt the soft fingers in his palms trembled slightly. He hugged his beloved wife to his chest and said in a solid voice: "
Even so, you and I don't need to be too alarmed. Your forehead is round and plump, and your temples are purple. After the age of twenty-eight, you may not be able to create another world."
When Princess Lechang heard about it, she was silent for a long time, then sighed softly and said leisurely: "After the catastrophe, even if you don't die, your husband and wife will definitely be separated and never see each other again. What's the point of living?"
Xu Deyan said: "The love between you and me as husband and wife has not been broken. After this disaster, maybe God has mercy on us, and we can renew our relationship? I was studying in the past and came across an odd article in "Magpie Mirror", which said that in ancient times, a couple was about to break up.
They were deeply in love and couldn't let go, so they took a bronze mirror and broke it in half. The husband and wife each held one half as a token of their future reunion. Later, the wife looked for her husband, and the half of the bronze mirror in the wife's hand turned into a colorful magpie and flew to the other side.
In front of half a bronze mirror, the couple was able to reunite." He stared at his beloved wife affectionately, his tone full of hope: "The deep love between husband and wife moved the heavens, can't you and I invite heaven's mercy?"
Princess Lechang was fascinated by what she heard and nodded and said: "No wonder it is common to see colorful magpies cast on the backs of bronze mirrors nowadays. It turns out there is such an allusion! In this way, we might as well break the mirror and form an alliance, each holding his half, thinking that we will be together in the future.
A token of my seeing you!”
Xu Deyan immediately took a bronze mirror, drew out his long sword and swung it, and the bronze mirror broke into two halves. He handed one half to Princess Lechang: "After the catastrophe, on the day of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will ask someone to sell it in the market.
This is half a bronze mirror. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will go to Chang'an market to buy a mirror. If God has mercy on me, maybe you and I will see each other again."
Princess Lechang held back her tears and took half of the bronze mirror, but when she saw that the colorful magpie cast on the back of the bronze mirror was in her hand, the long trailing tail feathers had been cut off, she couldn't help but shed tears again.
