On the Shanglin Park plains, autumn comes clear and crisp; along the old road to Xianyang, no trace of sound or news remains.
“Silence!” My father slapped me hard across the face, his features twisted with rage. “You have no right to mention your mother!”
A sweet taste rose in my throat. I wiped the thread of blood from the corner of my mouth and stared at him indifferently, a smile spreading across my face.
For a moment he seemed lost. Then he abruptly turned his back to me and swept his sleeve aside. His fingers clutched the window frame, and his whole body trembled faintly. In the dead silence, he slowly spoke, his voice almost hoarse:
“With you looking like this, how could I face her when my soul returns to Zhaoling one day?”
Dusk outside the window veiled his profile, filling it with a desolation from which there was no escape.
For the first time in seven years, I saw that the Son of Heaven, whose might ruled the world, could be so utterly alone in an instant.
About a boy who should have been heaven's favored child, and the parents I love so much.
I owe a great deal to the professional Tang history forum “Immersed in the Tang” (www.tanghistory.com/bbs) for helping me write this story. My heartfelt thanks.
I've also opened a new Tang history fan-fiction site, “Drunken Ink in Chang'an: Tang Tales” (www.tangstory.com). Come by and take a look.
I just found a good article, but it turns out it was written thirteen years ago. It hurts (T_T)
Such a beautiful article, but it's a pity that it stopped updating 15 years ago. The author probably won't update it anymore. It's such a pity [heartbroken]
The writing is very good, but some chapters are locked and cannot be read. Where can I read the full text?
These extra stories made me cry. Oh my God, how could it be written so well and so touchingly?
"There are many things in the world that are scary and terrible. One day, you will understand."
Yes, what I fear most about people and things in this world is losing you. . . .
It's a good article. Of course, I don't need to say much about it. I'll check it out every once in a while. I'll check it out in case it's updated. Both the characterization and writing skills are my favorites. I remember the author once said that he would write at least until the death of his eldest grandson. But I don't know if I'm lucky enough to see it again now. Thank you Xiaoyi for bringing us such a good article. This is my only comment dedicated to my favorite article and author.
I read it again and burst into tears
I really hope to see it one day and find that it has been updated...
"What's wrong?" Aye threw away the pheasant slave and put his arms around A Niang's shoulders, "Are you feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath again? Where is the imperial doctor? Call him back quickly!"
_______________Xiao Li dotes on children, and he dotes on LP even more
By the way, is Xiao Li afraid that his eldest grandson will leave like this one day? After reading this chapter, I suddenly felt a little sad.
I've been waiting for a long time for an episode like this. . . Thank you Xiao Yi, I am so grateful! A certain phoenix and his queen are my favorites. . . Isn't it the end of things like this? Please continue quickly!
Suddenly I found myself in a trap... The locked chapters were no longer visible.
