Later, the three men, father and sons, began to distrust each other.
No one believed she would really turn into a butterfly and fly away.
Rather than such a bizarre explanation, they preferred to believe that she had simply been hidden away by one of them.
......
After the Xuanwu Gate Incident
Emperor Gaozu was invited by Li Wen to retire and enjoy his old age. The Eastern Palace was left without a leader, and he did not take any concubines. For a time, the harem was deserted.
In this season, there are no crabapple blossoms, and the camellias in the East Palace garden are not yet in season. When he has nothing to do, he often stays alone in the East Palace, sitting on the reclining chair that the former Crown Princess used to sit on.
All of the Crown Prince's men have been purged and replaced with new ones. The only two familiar faces here are Wen Xue and Wen Yue.
The weather is lovely today.
After finishing his official business, he strolled around the palace and unknowingly ended up here again.
"His Majesty."
When the two maids who used to follow her saw him, they hurriedly knelt down to greet him.
Li Wen simply waved his hand and said, "Tell the kitchen to prepare a chestnut cake and a pot of Guzhu purple bamboo shoots."
"Yes."
After the servant left, he gently stroked the small wooden table, then slowly sat down. The recliner creaked slightly as it fully supported the man's weight.
Unconsciously, he rubbed the purse at his waist.
A white camellia is embroidered on a crescent-colored satin surface.
He gently opened the bag. Inside was only a small wooden plaque.
The camellias engraved on it are exactly the same as those on the purse.
He rubbed the three characters "Haitang Chun" between his fingertips, a hint of melancholy flashing unexpectedly in his eyes.
This was the last thing she gave to Li Yin.
He had already killed Li Yin and Li Jie, and dethroned his father from the throne above all others, so why couldn't he find her?
"Shen Jinhuan".
A very low murmur, but unfortunately, it was audible as soon as the wind blew.
Today, court officials advised that the harem is empty and he should take in more concubines to increase his offspring, otherwise it will be detrimental to the stability of the country.
Many of the ministers who spoke out had noble ladies of marriageable age.
He knew everything. As the emperor, he was no longer the simple man he once was; he acted for the ruler before himself. But this was the only thing that mattered. He wanted to be a little willful, to wait, to wait a little longer. What if she appeared?
The young girl was so stubborn; she had planned for so long, and she couldn't let another woman take her place when it came time to get there.
"One life, one love, one partner, Shen Jinhuan, where are you?"
......
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter—the four seasons change throughout the year.
The crabapple blossoms are absolutely gorgeous this year.
On a whim, he went on an incognito visit to see the people's livelihood and the common people across the vast land.
The first stop was Youzhou.
The carriage was wobbling.
The bells at the four corners jingled.
Today we seem to have reached the edge of the field. If nothing unexpected happens, we will enter Youzhou City in half an hour. A very faint floral fragrance wafts in the air.
Its delicate sweetness is so subtle that it is barely perceptible in the air.
This... looks like a Malus spectabilis!
He subconsciously lifted the curtain of the carriage, pushed open the wooden window, and looked outside.
A string of flowering vines hung between two crabapple trees that were almost growing together.
The wind rises.
Red petals rained down.
Some floated in the air, while others simply drifted down leisurely.
It falls beside the roots of the gnarled tree, on the muddy ridges of the fields filled with the scent of cooking fires, and between the tiled temple courtyards.
In an instant, stars rained down, and fragrance filled the road.
But what's most captivating is the striking figure on the swing. "Shen Jinhuan!"
