Chapter 3 Compromise

After Sikong Yan confirmed that Zhou Zai had gone away, he finally let go of the hand that was suppressing Shen Lanying, stood up elegantly, and walked to the table to sit down again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The food prepared by the people of the Continent Jae on the info table is steaming hot. He didn't speak, just poured himself a cup of tea, and elegantly raised the teacup to his lips and sipped it gently.

Shen Lanying sat up with a somewhat stiff body, her eyes staring at the man on the side who was light and breezy, and she was a little apprehensive. Obviously, this is not his territory, but everyone obeys him, and even has a hint of scolding him. If that's the case, then her situation is very dangerous.

The two stared at each other without saying a word, and it was Sikong Yan who broke the silence first. The corners of his lips outlined a faint arc, and he said, "Your Highness has been in a coma for so long, is it okay to eat something?"

Shen Lanying looked at the food piled up on the table, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "I'm really not the princess you say. ”

Sikong Gongzi conjured a folding fan out of nowhere, his wrist shook slightly, and a folding fan painted with mountains and rivers instantly unfolded in front of his hand, making an extremely crisp sound. He shook the folding fan on his chest unhurriedly, and calmly spit out words that shocked Shen Lanying.

"Of course I know that the girl is not Princess Zhaoying. ”

The faint voice made Shen Lanying completely stunned, and now she was more and more incomprehensible about the situation in front of her.

Sikong Yan paused, looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and continued: "There are two factors that can prove that you are not His Royal Highness Zhaoying. First of all, Her Royal Highness the princess would definitely not be dressed so strangely and wander around the streets on a rainy night. Secondly, the real Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoying-" He deliberately dragged out his voice, and seeing Shen Lanying's expression becoming more and more nervous, he said word by word.

"It's gone, it's gone, it's dead. ”

Shen Lanying was suddenly startled: "What? already dead? How did you die? Wait, even the emperor doesn't know about this matter, how do you know?" Looking at Sikong Yan's eyes became a little weird, "Who are you?"

Sikong Yan laughed out loud unabashedly, closed the folding fan in his hand, and got up.

"I haven't introduced the girl to me until now, so it's rude. He apologized in his mouth, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. "In the next compound surname Sikong, single name Yan, the word Feijie. It's a person from the capital Sikong family. ”

Sikong Yan. Sure enough, it was the same as she guessed, but the surname Sikong was very interesting. Sikong is the official name that appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Sima and Situ are the three divisions, and they are important ministers of the dynasty. The Sikong clan was in charge of the country's civil and water conservancy projects. Equivalent to the modern Minister of Construction. In modern times, the surname Sikong is almost extinct. However, how would a person from the Ministry of Construction of the Imperial Court know the fact that the real princess is dead?

Shen Lanying hesitated for a moment and asked, "What position do you hold in the court?"

Sikong Yan shook his head. "Zai Xia did not hold any position in the court, but was an idle person in the capital. ”

Since he is not a big man in the court, those people must be because of the status of the Sikong family.

"What is the status of the Sikong family in the capital?"

This is just a very common question, but Sikong Yan raised his eyebrows, with a touch of sarcasm on his face. He shook his head slightly, and turned to Shen Lanying and asked, "There should be a lot of questions that the girl wants to ask, right?" It's not a way to ask like this one by one, the girl should eat something first, and let the girl explain what happened recently carefully, how about it?" His voice was extremely magnetic and had a convincing power.

Shen Lanying was taken aback, and waved her hand again and again: "No need, this is your private matter, and it is inconvenient for me as an outsider to know." "People who know too much don't live long, and she still understands this truth.

Hearing her refusal, Sikong Yan smiled instead, but his smile had a hint of weirdness: "This, it's okay." Anyway, the girl will have to pretend to be Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoying in the future. Sooner or later, you'll know these things. ”

What?!She's going to pretend to be a real princess for a long time?Damn!Isn't that going to kill her!?

"You...... Didn't you know that I wasn't really a princess...... Why is it still ......?"

Shen Lanying's incoherent words were only halfway through her words before she was interrupted by him, "The girl is indeed not a real princess, but she looks almost exactly like the real His Royal Highness Zhaoying, and even the Tang Gonggong beside the emperor didn't see the clues, not to mention ......" The smile on Sikong Yan's face became more and more weird, "The girl should know what the crime of pretending to be a royal family is, right?"

Shen Lanying was directly stunned. Sikong Yan also stopped talking and gave her time to come back to her senses.

What is the crime of pretending to be a royal family? At the very least, the Nine Clans will be punished with a capital punishment!

"I think the girl should understand that now you have no choice but to pretend to be Princess Zhaoying. ”

Sikong Yan's calm words made Shen Lanying's heart close to collapse little by little.

The room fell silent again, Sikong Yan sat at the table and drank tea elegantly, while Shen Lanying hugged her knees on the bed and wanted to cry without tears. Aren't the male protagonists and heroines in online dramas crossing over from destitute to brocade clothes and food? Why did God let her cross when her career was booming? And as soon as she crossed over, she caught up with such a thankless high-risk job?

After maintaining such silence for a while, Shen Lanying suddenly lifted the quilt, jumped off the bed, walked to the table in three or two steps, sat down directly opposite Sikong Yan, quickly glanced at the food on the table, filled herself with a bowl of porridge, and then said to Sikong Yan weakly, "You should tell me about what happened to Princess Zhaoying recently." ”

Sikong Yan smiled slightly, as if he had expected her to make such a choice, put down the teacup in his hand, and saw that her expression was completely clear, so he said calmly: "Then let's talk about the girl's new identity first." What you want to pretend to be now is Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoying of Yongguo, that is, the ninth princess of Yongguo. When Emperor Yonghui, the son of heaven, had a total of six princes and ten princesses under his knees......"

Shen Lanying in her heart: I'll go, I can really give birth.

“…… The most favored is the ninth princess Jiang Yuwan, on the day she was born, at sunrise, there were purple-gold auspicious clouds covering half of the sky in the east, and she got the auspicious saying of Yongguo. When Her Royal Highness the princess turned one year old, Emperor Hui gave her the title 'Zhaoying', and she was also the only one among the ten princesses with a title. Not only that, Princess Zhaoying has read poetry and books since she was a child, and she is even more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. Sikong Yan saw Shen Lanying's frowning brows and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Princess Zhaoying has a relatively introverted personality on weekdays, although she is extremely talented, she doesn't like to communicate with people, even other princes and princesses are not familiar with her." So if you are a little careful, they won't find anything. ”

Shen Lanying nodded while drinking porridge, since she is a person who doesn't like to talk, it will be easy to do. "What about the princess's mother?" "It's not easy for brothers and sisters to be a goof, but not necessarily for their own mothers.

Sikong Yan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Princess Zhaoying's mother passed away three years ago." ”

Shen Lanying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and blurted out without thinking about it: "That's great." After saying this, she herself found the faux pas in her words, and blinked her eyes awkwardly, but seeing that Sikong Yan's face showed no signs of dissatisfaction, she hurriedly said, "You go on." ”

Sikong Yan first gave Shen Lanying a general idea of the main situation of the royal family and other forces in the Yong Kingdom. After that, I will roughly talk about the main experiences of Princess Zhaoying in this life. In fact, what he said was already very concise and clear, but after all, there was too much content, and Shen Lanying finished eating slowly and leisurely, and he only spoke about two-thirds of the way.

Listening to Sikong Yan's narration, Shen Lanying also had a general understanding of this world. In addition to being a little more mysterious, the borders of the country and the customs of the people are very similar to the ancient times of her original world. It's just that the historical development doesn't seem to be the same, just to not reflect her ignorance of the world, and she can't ask about historical knowledge, so she can only make a little inference about ancient times through modern history. When the emperor was the eighth emperor of Yongguo, Emperor Yonghui. Emperor Yonghui himself is over 60 years old and has 16 children, ranging in age from their thirties to eight or nine. Most of the princes who have been crowned have completed their marriages with some chaotic forces, and except for the big prince, they all used the daughters of the big power and small merchants to make up three wives and four concubines. The most interesting thing is the eldest prince, he was twenty years old when he married his wife, and he has not taken a concubine since then, and his only princess is not noble. However, it was rumored that their husband and wife were very affectionate, which made Shen Lanying very interested. In this place where you eat without spitting out your bones, there will be true feelings.

About the daughters of Emperor Yonghui is even simpler. From the eldest princess to the sixth princess, they all married to Tiannan and Haibei. In the palace, only the seventh princess, the eighth princess, the Zhaoying princess, and the tenth princess who have made a marriage contract and are only waiting to be married. Zhaoying is the ninth princess, and her age is seventeen years old. In ancient times, this age was not young, so the fate that awaited Shen Lanying was that it would not be long before she would marry Princess Zhaoying. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be too bad, Princess Zhaoying is the auspicious Rui of Yongguo, so it is estimated that she will not marry too far, and maybe Emperor Yonghui will recruit someone in order to prevent the outflow of Dayongguo's fortune. That would be great. Thinking of this possibility, Shen Lanying's heart that had been depressed was finally relieved, anyway, when she arrived at the palace, the initiative was still her own, so her next goal was to recruit a colt to join her, well, it must be a bulge!

For Shen Lanying, the only people who need to be paid attention to are the fifth prince and the tenth princess, these two people are twin brothers and sisters, and these two are from the same mother as Princess Zhaoying. Because the fifth prince is one of the twins, his physique has been weaker than his peers since he was a child, so he was sent to Mingluo Mountain by Emperor Yonghui to learn martial arts a few years ago.

It turns out that women are indeed gossip creatures. Shen Lanying listened to the open and secret battles in the royal family and the changes in the court, and listened to them for more than two hours, and she didn't feel bored at all. Although Sikong Yan's voice was not mixed with any tone, what he said was very dramatic, so that Shen Lanying had the illusion that she was listening to a commentary.
