In the winter of the ninth year of Wude, the official Wei Zheng hit a pillar in the Tai Chi Hall and died, causing blood to splash on the gold bricks. On the same night, his daughter Xueying landed in the Wei Mansion, and her first cry overlapped with her father's shouts.
When she was thirteen years old, she was called into the study by her father for the first time. Wei Zheng said: The children of the Wei family understand the court earlier than others.
She thought she understood. It wasn't until her close friend committed suicide by hanging from a beam because of a divorce letter, and when the betrothal gift from the East Palace was brought to her door, the whole family's life was hanging by a thread - she realized that understanding was far from enough.
In the market, she met Xue Yuchuan. After being a criminal, he was not allowed to enter the official position for three generations. He relied on a business that was about to close down to work his way through the cracks in the bricks of Chang'an City inch by inch. She spoke for him, and he took her to heart.
Later they joined forces. She used the Wei family's court connections, and he used the Xue family's market intelligence. From the playboy to the prince, they knocked down those who wanted to crush the Wei family one by one.
On the day when the imperial edict came down, a ban was placed between the two of them: After committing a crime, officials were not allowed to marry.
She knelt outside Xuanzheng Hall. Three days and three nights. He presented the achievements he had accumulated over the past fourteen years to the imperial court and exchanged an imperial edict for the abolition of the order.
On that day when the music of all nations resounded through Chang'an, she stood at the head of the concubines and looked up to see her father's portrait standing at the forefront of the group of ministers. Someone behind her held her hand.
Peace does not come by waiting. They have come out step by step since they were thirteen years old.
The music and songs of all nations are intoxicating and peaceful, and the moon in the sky tower is clear.
