Extra: The so-called pride of heaven

I have no name. Seventeen years ago, a plague in my hometown made me an orphan. I followed the wandering crowds all the way to the capital. On a heavy rainy night, I had a high fever. In a daze, I saw a young man in white. His hair was deep in his waist, his skin was better than snow, his eyebrows were lively and gentle, and there was a light color between his eyebrows. He looked at me and gently brushed across my forehead. I smelled the pleasant fragrance on his body, thinking that he had seen the gods, and then, his eyes turned dark and he didn't know what happened.

When I woke up, I was already in a clean and tidy room. An all-round aunt came in and said that I was lucky and was rescued by the young master. She also told me that this was Shangguan’s mansion and one of the most powerful families in the capital.

From then on, I followed the young master and was named Tianqing, becoming his servant and a book boy. The young master is kind and generous to his servants. I always feel grateful to his life-saving grace. Even if I want to be a cow and a horse for him in this life, I will be willing to do so.

The young master has been well-read in poetry and books since he was a child. He is also very talented in martial arts. He is very famous among the aristocratic disciples in the capital. Even I have always been by his side. I studied hard under the lamp, practiced under the scorching sun, shot arrows in the snow, and accompanied him on a horse, drinking among the flowers, singing on the river, watching him enjoy and lively and full of energy. I always felt that that was what the young master should be, dazzling and eye-catching, and the object of everyone's attention

When the young master was fourteen, he followed his uncle to the battlefield and became famous in one battle. Everyone, including the old man, thought that the young man was a rare talent for generals. Until the young master was sixteen, the master suddenly passed away, he resolutely decided to abandon martial arts and follow the article.

From then on, the young master entered the officialdom and started as the most ordinary editor of the Hanlin Academy. The young master was still the young master, still lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, gentle and gentle, with indifferent and confident in his bones, and his temperament became more and more calm and graceful, but I know, something has changed.

I will also walk around the Hanlin Academy and do something for the young master. More than once I saw the young master fascinated towards a father and daughter, occasionally smiling. He should be the young master's colleague, but he is much older. The little girl is very young, her eyebrows have not yet grown up, but she is cute and well-behaved, and she throws herself into her father's arms and acts coquettishly. I think, the young master is actually thinking about the master, although the father and son were not very close when the master was alive.

The young master is really attentive and powerful. He is very young and has been promoted again and again. He is very proud of his holy heart. Prince Yu also favors him. Such character naturally caused the girl in the boudoir in the capital to be excited. There are endless matchmakers coming to the door to say he is close to him, but the young master is not moved at all. Until he was twenty-three years old, he was promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, and his marriage could no longer be delayed.

It was that year that the young master took me out for a trip. We walked a long way and enjoyed the famous mountains and rivers all the way to the border of the Southern Wu Kingdom, a snow-capped mountain called Yuxuan Peak.

Sometimes I wonder if the young master had not gone to the snow mountain, or if there was no avalanche at that time and did not meet the Lan family, would everything in the future become different? But, without the if, the young master and I encountered an avalanche and met two ladies from the Lan family, they saved us.

At that time, the young master's situation was very critical, and his life was almost hanging on the line. I was much better, and I had no time to think about it. Why could the Lan sisters mobilize the national doctor with the most superb medical skills in the Nanwu Kingdom to treat the young master? I didn't know that the Lan surname was the national surname of the Nanwu Kingdom. I just thought that the young master would be rewarded for good people. If he met a kind-hearted person, his life should not be lost.

Three months later, when the young master finally recovered and walked as usual, he told me that he would marry the eldest lady of the Lan family. I was a little surprised, but I never questioned the young master's decision. I nodded and looked at the young master's quiet face, without any festive expression on it.

Everything happened so quickly that I felt very unreal. The eldest lady of the Lan family turned out to be the daughter of the king of the Nanwu Kingdom. The situation in Nanwu He Xinghe was tense at that time and they did not intermarry. In order to successfully marry the young master, she recognized a senior official from our dynasty as her father and married the young master as a person of Xinghe. I think the eldest lady of the Lan family was sincere to the young master. She almost gave up everything in the past for him. The so-called good match was just like this.

The day of marriage was really a ten-mile red makeup. I couldn't say that kind of grand occasion. The young master wore a red brocade robe and sat on the horse. I don't know how many women were crying. But who could have thought that on the night of the wedding, water suddenly came out of the wedding room. The young master was injured. Miss Lan seemed to have become a different person. When I rushed over, I saw her laughing until she burst into tears. Her extremely beautiful face was twisted. Although it was the same face, I knew that she was not Miss Lan.

This incident was suppressed by the Shangguan Mansion at that time. Other servants who had experienced it except me were sent out of the capital. I settled her with the people in the mansion. It was not until a few years later that news of the young master and the separation came out.

I never planned to ask the young master what happened that night. It was the young master's scar. The young master was not like the young masters of other aristocratic families. He never spent time on women, or he rarely got close to women. It was unexpected to promise to marry Miss Lan, but it ended like this. After that, the young master had very little contact with the woman.

After the old man passed away, the mansion was supported by the young master. The wife rarely asked about the young master's affairs. But I couldn't help but feel sorry for him when I saw that the young master was still alone.

I know many things that the young master does, but I never ask the reason. The young master naturally has his own reason. If others are so good, God will arrange a good marriage for him.
