The fragrance of orchids turns to embers, and the begonias shine on the snow; he uses the mountains and rivers as a backdrop, and she holds the lamp with gentleness.
In the twelfth year of Dasheng Yongxi's reign, at the Spring Palace Banquet, Shen Zhinuan, the second lady of the Shangshu Mansion, met the seventh prince Xiao Jingheng for the first time.
Everyone in the world said that the Seventh Prince was undisciplined and unworthy of his responsibilities, but she was the only one who saw the loneliness and hidden edge behind his smile in the spring scenery of the garden.
A piece of paper conferring marriage involved her in old royal cases, and also brought to light the death of Concubine Ning, the Lanxiang of Southern Xinjiang, the remaining edict of Beilou, and the salt tax in Jiangnan that had been buried for many years.
She was originally a gentle and upright lady from a noble family, but she learned to play chess in the wind, snow and the light of swords;
He originally wanted to hide in the mortal world and become an idle prince, but because of her words, "You can't be the only one to investigate," he was willing to join the game for Shanhe.
The fragrance of orchids has become a blade, but the old snow has not disappeared.
There are people deep inside the palace walls who use incense as a sword, and there are people in the shadows of the court who use the people as chess.
From the begonias in spring to the bright lights, from side by side in marriage to the unity of emperors and empresses, they investigated old cases, quelled the chaos on the border, settled Jiangnan, and illuminated Lanxi. They also pulled each other back to the world from the loneliness in the life and death situations.
This is not a marriage made perfect by mountains and rivers.
Instead, they illuminated the broken mountains and rivers with their own hands.
After the orchid ember, the begonia shines on the snow.
This life is a job, and I will live up to the mountains and rivers.
