The eunuch Liang Huai was in charge of the eunuch's seal, covering the sky with one hand.
With his words in court, the emperor happily married his daughter, Princess Anrou, Shen Xiwei, to the eldest son of the Pei family.
The Pei family is a hereditary family, so in the eyes of outsiders, this marriage can be regarded as a good match.
On the night of the wedding, Shen Xiwei ignored the heavy rain and cold weather and ran all the way to Liang Huai's door with her skirt in hand, her thin shoulders trembling.
"Please don't send me into the quagmire..."
Tears streaked down his chin, Shen Xiwei saw the man's dark robe trailing to the floor, and he closed the door with an indifferent expression.
Shen Xi closed his eyes slightly.
She was just a bargaining chip in his fight for power, so she never had any self-respect.
Princess Anrou married into the Pei Mansion, and the capital was filled with flowers.
But on the night of the first month after getting married, the princess disappeared from the Prince Consort's Mansion. People were searched all over the house, but no one was found.
When the news reached the palace, Liang Huai was holding an umbrella and watching the young eunuch lock the palace door.
A sudden knock sounded outside the red-painted door.
The guard asked, then left to look for the princess at the next place.
After closing the door, Liang Huai turned around and looked at the girl in the corner of the courtyard. The heavy rain had soaked her clothes, covering her exquisite curves in an awkward manner.
He finally opened the door that concealed his shady desires.
***
A few months later, the imperial examination results were released, and those who passed the imperial examination entered the palace to meet the emperor and queen.
Shen Xiwei was also sitting on the princess seat behind the bead curtain, looking down at the talented young man downstairs.
This year's green-clad champion is handsome and graceful.
Shen Xi slightly took a second look.
When he came back to his senses, it was Liang Huai who was holding the peeled grapes, but he had not lifted them up. His sleeves were hanging down and his eyes were heavy.
"The princess is not asking me to save you."
"Now, is this how you repay your kindness?"
***
In the beginning, she was a chess piece in his hand, a stepping stone on the road to officialdom;
But later, he was willing to become her subordinate.
After all the evil is done, it is as sweet as sweet wine.
Intention: Go through fire and water for the one you love
