Chapter 31: Fake and pro-princess in substitute literature (7)
"Princess, tomorrow is the wedding day. Please rest early tonight."
Grandma closed the slightly opened window, took out the freshly stewed bird's nest from the food box, and gently placed it on the table next to Shi Ran.
Shi Ran was reading a book.
West Vietnam book.
Although there are differences in the official dialect of Xiyue and Daiyue, it is not that big after all, and it is still no problem to understand them.
But the writing of Xiyue is completely different from the writing of Daiyue.
Zong Lanyi's marriage was quite sudden, and the palace specially invited two female officials who were proficient in Western Vietnamese language and writing to accompany them.
The purpose is to help the princess adapt to life in West Vietnam as soon as possible.
Zong Lanyi is no longer needed.
But Shi Ran used it very smoothly.
What the memory brought her naturally had corresponding skills in Western Vietnamese writing.
But in the end, she also wanted to normalize it for a suitable reason.
"Understood, back off."
Shi Ran was still very satisfied with Grandma.
Knowing the appropriateness and progress can make you a qualified deaf and mute at critical moments.
It's been three days.
Chunyu Dian did not appear.
After escorting Shi Ran safely to the royal court, Shi Ran never saw him again.
He didn't seem to take what Shi Ran said to heart.
But Shi Ran was not anxious.
Because she is confident enough.
Tonight, Chunyu Dian will come.
Because, according to the information from the kite, the royal court invited a witch doctor yesterday.
I heard that Chunyu Di'an's mother-in-law, the mysterious concubine of the Great Khan of Wei, was ill.
Although the Khan's concubine had never been in good health, to the extent that she needed to consult a witch doctor, it was clear that she was really seriously ill.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind came from behind.
Shi Ran didn't even look back and leisurely turned through a page of the book.
"You came."
Behind him, the window sash that Grandma had just closed was now wide open.
Chunyu Dian, who had not appeared for three days, was standing there.
After closing the window sash, Chunyu Dean came to Shi Ran in silence.
"How are you going to do it?"
He asked straight to the point.
Clearly, a decision has been made.
Shi Ran smiled softly.
really.
Chunyu Di'an secretly entered the royal court yesterday.
Over the years, he has gained some power of his own, enough to be able to visit his mother and concubine away from the public eye.
He didn't do it before because he felt that his mother-in-law sometimes looked at him with a trace of hatred.
Maybe she doesn't want to see herself that much.
Chunyu Dian could sense it keenly.
But this time, Chunyu Dian couldn't bear it anymore.
He wanted an answer.
Looking for an answer to the doubts I have had for so many years.
So, last night, after confirming that the Khan King was staying at another Khan's concubine, he secretly entered the palace of his mother's concubine through his internal contacts in the royal court.
When the mother-in-law saw him, she was very surprised.
Different from the Western Vietnamese clothes that the mother-in-law wore when they met once a year, when they were alone in private, she turned out to be wearing Dawei clothes.
"Why are you here? An adult prince enters the royal court without permission. This is a fatal crime!"
The surprise on her face subsided, and the beautiful but weak woman looked at her child with a cold face, as she had done countless times before.
This time, Chunyu Di'an was no longer as sad and frightened as before when he saw the cold face of his mother and concubine.
This time, he grabbed his mother-in-law's sleeve.
"Whose child am I?!"
Horror flashed across the woman's face.
She immediately asked sternly, "Who is it that chews your tongue in front of you and makes you come to the mother-in-law to question me without following the etiquette and law?"
This was the first time that she took the initiative to admit her identity as mother and concubine.
Before, she just asked Chunyu Dean to call her mother.
Mother is the title of Wei Dynasty.
She seemed unwilling to admit her status as a concubine in the Western Vietnamese royal court.
"Etiquette? There is no such etiquette in Xiyue. In the royal court of Xiyue, the blood of the King of Khan is supreme. Even the biological mother must bow to the blood of the King of Khan, except for the eldest concubine. The mother and concubine asked me to abide by it. Yes, it can’t be the etiquette of the Wei Dynasty, right? As a prince of Western Vietnam, why should I abide by the etiquette of the Wei Dynasty? Where does this rule come from?!"
"Snapped!"
The woman's free hand slapped Chun Yudian directly in the face.
Her hands were even trembling with anger.
Seeing the persistence in Chunyu Dian's eyes, the woman's lips trembled slightly.
After a while, two lines of crystals slid down his cheeks.
"How can you recognize your identity as a Western Vietnamese so much? You are of the blood of the Wei Dynasty, and you are the son of He Wushang, the general who died in the battle to conquer the West!"
The crane is unharmed.
Chunyu Di'an was shocked for a moment and unconsciously let go of his mother-in-law's hand.
He thought a lot about the truth about his life experience.
But I never thought that it would be He Wushang.
That was the most dazzling general in the Wei Dynasty before Pei Yuheng.
Unfortunately, he died young, was betrayed by his subordinates, and died in an ambush in Western Vietnam.
When he died, he was dragged behind a horse by the then Xiyue General and turned into a skeleton.
When Chunyu Di'an was studying the art of war, he also studied several battles led by He Wushang.
He can be called a wizard in military use.
He never thought that the person written in the military book would actually be related to him? !
"The crane has no injury and no wife."
Chunyu Dean was silent for a long time, and finally said this sentence.
Indeed, at that time, the world still lamented that it was a pity that such a hero had not even a trace of blood left in the world.
"We did not go to the church to get married. My original surname is Chen and my given name is Jiang Yue. I am his cousin. There was an engagement between the two of us. But he was guarding the border and there was no tomorrow. He was worried that he would miss my life. So I proposed to break off the engagement.”
Mentioning her former lover, Chen Jiangyue's eyes became gentler than ever before.
That was an expression that Chunyu Dian had never seen on his mother-in-law in all these years.
"But I didn't want to break off the engagement. He is a hero in the world and also my hero. So, I escaped from the house privately and went to the border with my money."
"The only thing I'm glad about is that a few days before he was ambushed to death, I was selfish and used medicine to force him to have physical intimacy with me. I originally thought that he would be unable to break off the engagement, but I didn't want to leave a room for him. She shed the last trace of her blood.”
Looking at the weak and beautiful face of his mother-in-law, Chunyu Di'an never imagined that she had ever done such a deviant act.
"Then why did you come to West Vietnam?"
If it is true, if she returns home, her family will think of He Wu's heroic deeds that harmed the country and the people, and they should let her keep the child in her belly.
Why, she arrived in Western Vietnam and became the concubine of Western Vietnam.
"As fate would have it, I couldn't believe it after hearing the news of his death, so I desperately wanted to go to the original battlefield to see if I could find any trace of his flesh and blood or relics. I had a close relationship with him. We are husband and wife, even if we die, we should not leave nothing behind."
Chen Jiangyue closed her eyes slightly, as if remembering the most unbearable memory.
“As a result, I met soldiers from West Vietnam.”
Chunyu Dean understood immediately.
