"I only want to be a crane in the clouds in this life, and I don't seek great fame."
"The troubled times are a turmoil, and I have been part of it. Now that the situation has been resolved, I sincerely ask Your Majesty to allow the daughter of the people to return home."
——
It's winter again, and the branches are covered with snow.
She knelt on the ground with her jade feet, lowered her head and let the cold wind blow by. Finally, after kneeling for several hours, he lay down on one side.
After returning from the Prince's Mansion, he, who was valued by the people in his family, lowered his body and picked her up in his arms.
Under the flickering candlelight, he promised her. As long as he is here, no one can hurt her.
The next day, the prince suddenly came to the house, and there was a secret discussion at home, which also involved the interests of the dynasty. At the prince's order, she, who had never been favored, was able to return to the palace with him to attend a palace banquet that she had never been to before.
At the palace banquet, the emperor's pillow suddenly threatened her to play a song. Without any preparation, the moment she touched the strings, she played a forbidden song in the palace.
After the song was over, her veil was forcibly removed. Everyone at the banquet was shocked.
After playing chess with the prince, getting acquainted with the third prince under the moon, and encountering a sudden assassination on the prince's wedding day, she realized that everything was just a game.
The people in the game are also old friends.
The so-called daughter born from a country girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion was just to complete an unknown power deal.
——
After she traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and visited Prince Lin's Mansion again, she realized that they were relatives but not relatives.
Crane, who was born unable to be free, could only have his wings broken and locked into a deep palace.
Until he secretly broke through the situation with the third prince, and everything came to light in front of the world. The rest of the prince's party were executed, along with him. The third prince successfully ascended the throne. She was to be adopted as empress again.
Although they had known each other and stayed together, the couple was not what she wanted. After the current emperor (the third prince) exempted him from the death penalty, she resigned and traveled around the world, just wanting to truly be a crane.
——
He changed his appearance and became a staff member of the current emperor, looking for her non-stop.
Until a few years later, I saw a dilapidated tomb in a small rural village.
The inscription on the stele reads: The world is full of twists and turns, and the cloud ladder sends the crane home.
The signature is the name she used to use in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
