Looking at Dong Xiaoyou's panicked appearance, the princess was quite satisfied: Will this little concubine dare not listen to herself in the future? She lowered her head, held Dong Xiaoyou's chin with her fingertips, and said slowly: "Tell me yourself, how should this palace punish you?" Dong Xiaoyou's face became more and more pale, and a pair of dark eyes flashed with a frightened look. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Yan on the side didn't say anything now, she felt that she had already prompted this stupid girl just now, but she didn't expect her to be so unenlightened, so that she was severely punished by the princess, and it was good to teach her a lesson, Mrs. Zhang didn't like her very much. In fact, Wang Yan and Mrs. Zhang have always been worried that the princess will not give them a good look after she marries, so she has to ask Wang Xuan to marry Xu Rong, who is known as the "first talented girl in Youzhou", to go to the house, hoping that she is a scheming woman, can get Wang Xuan's favor, curb the princess's status in the house, but I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, after Xu Rong married her, she and Mrs. Zhang found that this girl was not interested in competing for favor, and she didn't like to participate in the small talk between them. Mrs. Zhang was very disappointed. Wang Yan came to explore the princess today, but she didn't expect the princess to be polite to herself, and she was not as arrogant as she imagined, so she had a good impression of the princess, so she was no longer willing to continue to help Xu Rong.

Dong Xiaoyou was very flustered in her heart, and when she saw Wang Yan's leisurely appearance of watching a play, she was even more depressed: Alas, I also blame myself for being too ignorant, can this kind of girl who sees the wind and rudder expect her to help herself at a critical moment? Now it is the princess who teaches herself, not the second brother who bullied herself, and there will never be a fourth brother to help her out. What about Brother Xuan? He went out early in the morning, presumably because there was something important in the county, not to mention that now he and the princess are concubines, but I am afraid that he has already stood on the princess's line.

The world is so big, no one can save her? Dong Xiaoyou was a little resigned.

"Imperial sister, I haven't seen you for a few years, haven't you seen a small temper?" A majestic boy sounded.

A man dressed as a Confucian scholar walked in from outside the garden, and Dong Xiaoyou looked at him as if he was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

The princess clapped her hands and asked the palace maid to let go of Dong Xiaoyou, and then she smiled charmingly: "Oh, it's the royal brother!" I was supposed to come to greet you, but I didn't expect the imperial brother to come to me first. As he spoke, he bowed to him, and Wang Yan on the side also got up and saluted him.

Dong Xiaoyou was shocked: Brother Huang? Could it be the crown prince or prince of the dynasty or something? Looking at the white-faced man in front of him, wearing a white brocade robe with blue silk embroidered edges, and wearing the hair crown of an ordinary adult man, although the texture is very good, he does not have the imaginary royal temperament, and he looks like a scholar from an ordinary rich and noble family.

The man looked at Dong Xiaoyou with a smile, and then joked at the princess: "I just came, and I saw that the imperial sister was bullying people?" ”

Dong Xiaoyou hurriedly got up from the ground, straightened his dress, and blessed him, then hung his head and stood aside with low eyebrows.

The princess pursed the corners of her lips and said, "What are you talking about, brother Huang?" I'm just teaching this girl who doesn't know the rules a lesson, so that she understands that she is just a concubine, how can she bully people? The smile on her face widened, and she seemed to have a good relationship with this man.

The man in white just smiled, then turned his head sideways to stare at Dong Xiaoyou, Dong Xiaoyou's face suddenly turned red, and her whole body was uncomfortable, she thought: This person is indeed familiar, but he can't remember it anymore, could it be that he recognizes himself? Since the princess likes him so much, presumably he will intercede for herself, and the princess will definitely not beat herself again.

"This son...... I've seen it before... Slave family? She was scared by the slap, and changed her name to herself, if she called herself a "slave", the princess should be satisfied, right?

Liu Ying and Wang Yan also looked puzzled, the man in white smiled at the two of them, and then said to Dong Xiaoyou kindly: "The girl seems to have forgotten to be here, two years ago, we had a chance to meet in Xiangmanlou." ”

Dong Xiao thought about it and remembered: It turned out to be Yizhen, who claimed to be from Luling that day! I didn't expect him to be the princess's royal brother? In this way, he is also the bloodline of the Liu family? So why do you call yourself Yizhen? Although she was curious, she hurriedly replied, "Oh, it's Yi...... Son? The slave remembered. ”

The princess asked dissatisfiedly, "Brother Huang, do you know this girl?" ”

Yizhen smiled faintly: "Well, I met once two years ago, as far as my brother knows, the four girls of the Xu family are both talented and beautiful, and they are gentle and demure women, how can the imperial sister punish her?" ”

Seeing Yizhen's words, the princess had the intention of favoring Xu Rong, and she was unhappy, and said: "She's just a concubine, can't this palace teach her a lesson?" What's more, she dared to call herself me in front of the palace before, and she was not called a slave or a concubine, and the palace just took the royal family to teach her a lesson. ”

Yi Zhen listened, there was no look on his face, but he still said lightly: "Since ancient times, the elders have been orderly, and these things have been handed over to the elders to discipline, and there is no need for you to intervene. ”

Although Liu Ying was extremely unhappy, she could only give up, and said coldly to Dong Xiaoyou: "This palace has already disciplined you, you can go down to this palace first!" ”

Dong Xiaoyou listened, as if he had been amnestied, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted everyone, and said, "The slave family will go down." He hurriedly retreated.

Yizhen looked at her departing back, and remembered that two years ago, in the Xiangmanlou, I saw her with her brothers and sisters, laughing and chatting, looking innocent and cute, but now she has been reduced to the Wang family as a concubine, bullying her own rude sister since childhood, and her heart is a little sentimental. He is not a person with a flood of sympathy, but he also knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he remembers that Xu Rong that day, he smiled very happily, but just now he looked cowardly and afraid, so he naturally felt a little pity.

Liu Ying said to Wang Yan and a few subordinates: "The palace and the imperial brother have something to discuss in detail, you all go down first." So Wang Yan followed a few maids to say goodbye to the princess.

After everyone left, Liu Ying pulled Yizhen and asked anxiously, "Brother Huang!" Aren't you going back to the palace yet? ”

Yizhen shook his head: "I have already looked down on it, my father and emperor have allowed me to wander all over the world, does the imperial sister still want to be restrained as a brother?" ”

Liu Ying stared at Yi Zhen and said softly: "At the beginning of the year, it was your father who revealed the news of the Taiping Dao uprising, right?" Although my father didn't say anything, I guess that only you are the most likely, thanks to your reminder, otherwise Ruoyang might have been captured by the Yellow Turban Thieves. ”

Yizhen didn't answer her, just looked out the window: "It's just that I pity the people of the Central Plains, and I'm going to be persecuted by the war...... I don't care who will sit in the world, as long as I can make the world stable, even if it's not from our Liu family, I don't care. It's just that Zhang Jiao is not suitable to be an emperor. ”

Liu Ying's face changed: "Brother Huang! Do you know, if you don't return to the palace, your father will plan to make your younger brother the crown prince this year! The emperor's eldest son should have been you! What's more, Liu Wei, that ignorant child, was just born to a vulgar woman from the butcher's family, what qualifications does he have to be the emperor? ”

Yi Zhen sighed: "The face of the emperor's brother is not blessed, I'm afraid it is really not suitable to be an emperor...... It's just that I'm more unsuitable. ”

Liu Ying was very anxious in her heart, and her tone was even sharper: "Brother Huang! You can be regarded as outstanding in literature since childhood, even if you are your father, you are far less capable than you, why do you say that you are not suitable? If you are not suitable, then our Liu family's world will be over! ”

"Imperial sister, some things are destined, I don't want to act against the sky, our Liu family's country...... It has long been ruined by his father and several ancestors before him! Even if I ascend to the throne, I still have no power to change the situation in this world. Yi Zhen is also very sad, his efforts in the past few years, have cultivated a group of talents and elites, but now in less than half a year, almost all of them were lost in the Yellow Turban Uprising, which made him feel his powerlessness, and the ambition and ambition of two years ago have now been wiped out.

"But...... Brother Huang, then you are willing to give up the world? ”

"Alas, Imperial Sister, do you know why I changed my name and surname in the first place?" Yizhen's original name was Liu Yi, the eldest son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and he was named the King of Luling.

"I don't know."

"In the name of truth, I wanted to understand the truth of all things in heaven and earth, and I wanted to conform to the will of Heaven, not against it. Over the years, what has my father done, and how far has the Han dynasty fallen, it is not something that can be said in a few simple words, I have traveled all over the world, visited all over the world, and only then did I know that the world of our Liu family is coming to an end......"

"Imperial sister, I don't have the ability to make any contribution to the people of the world, but as long as I don't ascend the throne, I won't harm the people of the world because of my mistakes, which is the only contribution I can make to this world."

When Liu Ying heard this, her face turned pale: "Brother Huang! I can't agree, even you can't, so if that kid becomes the emperor, won't it be even more harmful to the people of the world? ”

Yi Zhen smiled, he shook his head: "He won't ...... Moreover, I'm afraid that he didn't even have that power at that time. He retracted his smile and said to Liu Ying: "Okay, Imperial Sister, as a woman, you shouldn't worry too much about these things...... In the years since I left Luoyang, how has my mother been? ”

"It's bad...... Father Emperor Cheng Ri was just extravagant, ** was made by him into a miasma, his mother didn't listen to a word of his father's words, and almost beat her into the cold palace, she was too weak...... I can only wash my face with tears every day. Speaking of this, Liu Ying frowned, she has a pungent personality since she was a child, and no one dares to provoke her, but her mother Concubine Xian is a docile woman, for Liu Hong's ** no way, she can only persuade her bitterly, but every time she can only exchange for Liu Hong's contempt and boredom, and even beat and scold her wantonly, she has been used to seeing her mother's silent crying back since she was a child, and she is used to hearing the contempt of the three palaces and six courts to her mother. Because of this, she hates those weak women who wash their faces with tears at every turn, she thinks, whether it is a man or a woman, they must have their own strength, otherwise they can only become weak, what is the use of crying? It's just annoying and despised. If she were a man, I am afraid that she would have to seize power and abolish the emperor long ago.

Yi Zhen naturally understood Liu Ying's thoughts, and he persuaded Liu Ying: "My father is indeed mediocre...... It's hard to be a mother. However, you shouldn't be angry with the four girls of the Xu family. ”

Liu Ying's eyes widened: "What?" Brother Huang suddenly wants to intercede for that girl again? Didn't you have a crush on her? ”

Yi Zhen flatly denied: "It's not true, it's just that the child is still young, and he is not a treacherous person, you are upright, and it is your blessing to meet her concubine who is so quiet but does not like to tell right and wrong, and if you treat her well, it is equivalent to treating yourself well." ”

"Hmph, what the imperial brother said about it, he seems to know that dead girl very well?"

"No, when observing a person, sometimes you only need to look at their face, words and deeds to understand their temperament...... You're still too young to understand this, me...... It's just the skin. ”

"Yes, yes, I'm young. But I will repay the baht, if she wants to treat me well, I will never treat her badly, if she wants to calculate me, I will let her die an ugly death! ”

"Alas...... You are a royal woman, and now you are married to Liaodong, you still need to think twice about everything, sometimes it is a long-term plan to forgive people and spare talents. ”

"Hmph, Brother Huang, your heart is too good! All I know is that if you don't die when you fight a snake, you will hurt it! ”

"You've been this since you were a child...... It's all because my brother spoiled you, but now my brother is thinking about your future reputation. I don't like it when people say you're a jealous woman. ”

"Brother Huang, don't say more, what should I do, now I have a sense of proportion."

"Good, good...... If you are a brother, you will say a few words, the time is almost the same, and it is time for your brother to retire. So saying, he went out of the garden.

"Brother Huang, since you care so much about your sister, how many more days will you stay?" Liu Ying was reluctant to keep him.

"Now that I'm at home, that's fine." Yizhen smiled and nodded.

Dong Xiaoyou retreated from the princess's courtyard, and when Biluo saw her appearance, she knew that she had been wronged, so she quickly helped her up, and hurriedly asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that your face is about to swell, the princess actually beat you? ”

Dong Xiaoyou sighed: "Forget it...... We can't afford to mess with her, so let's try to stay away in the future. ”

Biluo saw that she had suffered a loss, and she felt very guilty in her heart: "It's all to blame for the slave maid, what the slave maid just said should go in with the young lady." As she spoke, she gently rubbed Dong Xiaoyou's face with pity.

"Biluo, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. Even if you want to go in, people won't let you in, and we will still suffer at that time...... And there are only two of us, not to mention the different identities and statuses of the princess, that is, the maid and the woman, they also have more than ten or twenty, we can't fight after all. Dong Xiaoyou pursed her lips and smiled at Biluo, wanting to comfort her.

Biluo's eyes suddenly turned red: "It's all because the slave is useless, so that the young lady is wronged." ”

Dong Xiaoyou touched her head and whispered: "Biluo, don't be like this, you are still Rong'er's sister, let's go back quickly, I don't want to stay here anymore." ”

"Well, that's what Mademoiselle said. They are too ruthless, they just met and bullied you like this, you have to hurry back to the garden to get hot water for you, otherwise your face will be swollen and it will not look good, but I am afraid that Miss will not even dare to go out of the door by then. Biluo got up anxiously and pulled Dong Xiaoyou to go back.

"Okay, I'm not afraid, I've been beaten and scolded by my brothers a lot since I was a child, and my body is not so delicate." Dong Xiaoyou saw that Biluo cared about herself so much, and felt quite warm in her heart, now there is no elder of the Xu family to love her, and there is no brother Xu Ban, Xu Jiang, the sister to take care of herself, fortunately, there is a Biluo, who has not left him for two years, but he is almost the same as his sister. In this palace, only she will really care about herself.

Biluo listened, and said with red eyes: "Miss, don't do this to yourself, your body is the most delicate, even a princess shouldn't be so unreasonable." Let's hurry back, the slave wants to wipe your body, I don't know if they hurt Miss else. ”

"Okay, Sister Biluo, don't be so alarmed, I don't know my own body?" Dong Xiaoyou persuaded, but his heart was warm.
