Chapter 73 Mangzi’s life events(1/4)

 (five in one, first order requested)

Wang Mang, who was confessing his love to Ban Shu, didn't know that the clothes he borrowed from Zhao Lin were actually made by Zhao Feiyan himself.

Zhao Feiyan looked at Wang Mang at this moment. Her mood was more complicated than ever before. She couldn't figure out why the clothes she gave to her father appeared on Wang Mang.

And now I still ridiculously think that this shirt matches Wang Mang very well, thinking that this shirt should be Wang Mang's.

With such a mood, Zhao Feiyan couldn't help but feel panicked.

Zhao Feiyan immediately lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Wang Mang again.

But there seemed to be a voice in her heart that was tempting her, asking her to be bolder.

Zhao Feiyan doesn't know what to do. All she can do now is pick up the ear cup and take a quick peck to suppress the distracting thoughts in her heart.

At this moment, Zhao Feiyan's mood finally calmed down a bit because of the effect of this glass of wine.

But her thoughts drifted far away to a long, long time ago.

Zhao Feiyan knew that she was not happy when she was a child. She had heard from others that her parents cruelly abandoned her in the ice and snow when she was just born, leaving her to fend for herself.

However, God favored her. Zhao Feiyan, who had been abandoned for three days in the ice and snow, did not die peacefully, but was still alive and well.

When her parents saw this situation, they could no longer bear to abandon her.

So, he took her back home to raise her.

However, the poverty at home remains the same, and it will not get better just because of a moment of intolerance.

Therefore, during the childhood when Zhao Feiyan was growing up, she worked very hard and eager to get more attention and care from her father, Zhao Lin.

Later, the family could not afford to raise more children, so Zhao Lin had to make a decision and sent the young Zhao Feiyan to the palace of Princess Yang'a as a slave, hoping that Zhao Feiyan could find someone for himself.

A way out.

After the little Zhao Feiyan entered Princess Yang'a's mansion, because she was pretty and a beauty, she was assigned to be a singer in the princess's mansion.

Zhao Feiyan worked very hard there. In order to learn singing and dancing, Zhao Feiyan thought very hard and forgot about food and sleep. She studied all day long.

It is precisely because of Zhao Feiyan's selfless efforts that she stood out in Princess Yang'a's mansion and became the best dancer in the princess's mansion.

Later, Zhao Feiyan, because of her graceful dancing posture, beautiful singing voice, and soul-stirring eyes, immediately fell in love with Liu Ao who came to play in Princess Yang'a's residence, and thus transformed into a singer from Princess Yang'a's residence.

, became the favorite concubine in Weiyang Palace.

After becoming Liu Ao's favored concubine, Zhao Feiyan can now be said to have reached the peak of her life, but she does not have much happiness. Although Liu Ao's favor has never been absent, Zhao Feiyan knows very well that Liu Ao's favor for her is only because of her.

Her natural beauty has no other love.

Today, after Zhao Feiyan heard Wang Mang's confession to Ban Shu, Zhao Feiyan suddenly understood that this was true love.

"Life is long, but also very short. Decades pass by in a blink of an eye."

These words of plain confession seemed to have magic power. Although they were not spoken to Zhao Feiyan, these words were deeply engraved in Zhao Feiyan's heart and could no longer be erased.

Just like that, Zhao Feiyan couldn't help but look at Ban Shu again with a slightly jealous look.

At this moment, Ban Shu was also shocked. She never expected that Wang Mang would be so direct. For a moment, Ban Shu didn't know how to respond. He could only blush and lower his head in silence, as nervous and nervous as an ostrich.

Dodge in fear.

But in Ban Shu's heart, she didn't actually dislike Wang Mang's wild behavior. Instead, she felt a little sweetness in her heart.

Since becoming a widow since he never married, Banshu has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.

People around her kept her at a distance and did not dare to get close to her, for fear that she would kill them.

Gradually, Ban Shu's personality became colder, and what he loved most all day long was just reading.

After a while, Ban Shu finally bravely looked up at Wang Mang.

Ban Shu said bravely: "I thank you for your mercy, but I am an ominous person who will kill your husband before you marry. How dare you marry a concubine?"

Ban Shu said it very directly. Although widows were very popular in the Han Dynasty, the most popular widows were those who had given birth to children.

Although a woman like Banshu who killed her husband's family members before getting married is also extraordinary, most people will involuntarily stay away from such a woman, fearing that their own destiny is not good enough to be treated by someone as noble as Banshu.

Life restraint.

Therefore, even Banshu, who was considered to be born with a noble destiny, still found it difficult to be popular in the late Western Han Dynasty when the wind of prophecy and destiny shrouded him.

Although everyone in the world wants to marry a noble wife, they cherish their own lives even more.

Therefore, it is normal for Ban Shu to be left alone.

After all, Wang Zhengjun, who had written such a script before, became the Supreme Han Dynasty, but her husband died early and her son is still childless.

Therefore, when faced with Banshu who had the same fate, even the royal people who usually regarded fate as precious could not help but retreat.

Moreover, since the Yuan Dynasty, natural disasters and visions have continued, so there have long been rumors of prophecies that the Han Dynasty was about to die.

Faced with such a delicate social environment, all the Han royal family could do was to continue to show kindness and respond, hoping to receive God's favor again and make their destiny permanent.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the situation, the royal family gradually began to become conservative, and did not dare to marry a widow to prove their fate like in the early Han Dynasty.

After Wang Mang heard Ban Shu's response, he became bolder.

People in the Han Dynasty were superstitious about numerology, but Wang Mang didn't believe it. Wang Mang always believed that people's destiny should be in their own hands. Even if sometimes he still couldn't resist the power of fate, he still had to struggle for change and never surrender.

Then, Wang Mang looked into Ban Shu's eyes again and said seriously: "Mang doesn't believe in fate! When Mang reads the books of sages, he should follow the teachings of the sages and not talk about the theory of strange power messing up the gods."

After Wang Mang said this, a strong aura of confidence suddenly appeared in his body, making his invisible destiny seem to begin to take a detour.

Such a strong aura of self-confidence made everyone present admire and be fascinated by it.

It has been a long time since a man was so confident.

Suddenly, everyone present had a better impression of Wang Mang.

Wang Zhengjun looked at Wang Mang's burst of confidence, and his mood suddenly seemed to be affected by this confident aura.

Wang Zhengjun praised: "The children of the Wang family should be like this."

Faced with the murky theory of destiny in the Han family today, although Wang Zhengjun does not care about political affairs, he still urgently needs someone who can stand up and express his doubts about "fate" with practical actions.

Because only with such self-confidence can we have a chance to break the prophecy that the man's destiny is declining.

Of course, this is also Wang Zhengjun's wishful thinking. Rumors that the Han family's destiny has declined have been circulating for decades, and it has gradually become the consensus of the world.

Even the ministers in the dynasty, when they encounter any unexplainable disasters, they will directly turn away and complain that the emperor's destiny is not there, which leads to continuous disasters, and in this way, the emperor gives greater benefits to the world.

Those who have more rewards will be rewarded.

The emperor himself seemed uneasy in this cultural atmosphere. Whenever there was a solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, earthquake, drought, flood and other celestial disasters, he would first issue an edict to reflect on himself.

It would be really embarrassing to expect such an emperor to just rise up and deny the prophecy that destiny will decline.

When everyone heard Wang Zhengjun's words, they all looked at Wang Mang in amazement.

In the hearts of everyone, at this moment, they all believed that this child of the Wang family was really an extraordinary person.

Wang Mang turned around and paid homage to Wang Zhengjun again: "My aunt is so complimentary. My nephew doesn't dare to accept her."

Wang Zhengjun smiled and said: "Why don't you take it? Young people should be so energetic. I am old, and from now on the great Han Dynasty will be supported by young and energetic people like you."

After Wang Mang heard Wang Zhengjun's words, he replied: "Here."

Wang Zhengjun looked at everyone and said, "Now is the time when the spring flowers are blooming. The banquet is over. How about you all come with me and take a walk in the palace garden?"

After everyone heard Wang Zhengjun's proposal, they all replied: "I will obey the Supreme Order."

Then, everyone left the banquet in Changxin Palace, and the atmosphere became more relaxed when they arrived in the palace garden.

Wang Zhengjun and the Queen Mother walked together, talking and laughing.

Queen Xiao Xu and others were waiting behind Wang Zhengjun, and at the same time chatting with Jieyu who had a similar temperament.

Queen Xiao Xu is the closest to Ban Jieyu. Because they are both famous and talented women, when they chat, they have more common topics, and then there is Ma Jieyu.

This Ma Jieyu can be regarded as Xiao Ma Yuan's aunt. She is Ma Zhong's sister and one of the earliest concubines after Liu Ao came to the throne. However, she is not favored, just because she has been in the palace for a long time.

, and was gradually promoted to the position of Jieyu.

As for Zhao Feiyan, she has not been able to integrate into Queen Xiao Xu’s circle for the time being, and of course she cannot. After all, Zhao Feiyan’s background is too humble, and she is also much younger than Queen Xiao Xu.

Therefore, Zhao Feiyan naturally seemed taciturn at this time.

Wang Mang and Ban Shu were in the palace garden, and with Wang Zhengjun's deliberate matchmaking, the two naturally got closer and closer.

Now the two of them came together and stood in front of a waterfront pavilion in Changle Palace.

This was the first time he was alone with a man like this. Banshu was very nervous and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Wang Mang could naturally feel Ban Shu's nervousness, but in response, Wang Mang smiled knowingly, with a faint smile on his lips.

Wang Mang asked: "Miss Ban, what I just said in the palace was sincere. I wonder what Miss Ban thinks of me?"

After Ban Shu heard Wang Mang's voice, he couldn't help but become more nervous.

She deliberately looked at the scenery on the water outside the pavilion, and then, whether because of nervousness or intentionality, she brushed a strand of green silk hair beside her ear.
