Chapter 54
The Nine Phoenix Crown is the queen's service, and King Yan gave the Nine Phoenix Crown as a gift to Princess Zhuo as a metaphor to help her become the queen, no wonder Chen Xie's mother and son were in a hurry, "Brother Wang said that the third brother was originally going to jump into the pond with him, and wanted to blame him, but fortunately, in front of his father, Brother Wang slandered Brother Wang regardless of his brotherhood, and after Brother Wang knew about it, he sent someone to do it in advance." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "I know about this matter, I bumped into it with Liu Mao in the rockery that day, and I also had an illness because of it." However, Chen Ying did not mention the role played by the eldest princess in this matter, presumably Chen Xie concealed it. Chen Xing continued: "Brother Wang also told me that Brother Wang also told Brother Wang's family that he was mining copper ore and iron ore privately, minting copper coins privately, and selling public salt privately, and was reported to Brother Wang, so Brother Wang turned against Brother Wang in order to cover their problems. He looked up at me: "Brother Wang said that one thing is related to the safety of him and his mother, and the other is to shake the country's foundation, so he will turn against the second and third brothers." He told me all these things and hoped I would be on his side. Sister Mi, did you say that Brother Wang was telling the truth? I sighed, "Don't you actually have the answer in mind?" With the pride of your brother, he disdains lying. "I was silent, it turned out that there were so many things behind me that I didn't know, if what Chen Xie said was true, then everything he did was blameless, the struggle for power has been cruel since ancient times, Chen Xie's three brothers stood behind their respective families, and they all had the responsibility to protect their families, so this doomed the fight between them was inevitable. There was silence in the room for a while, only Jade Butterfly and Ah Bao were muttering something on the soft couch. After a long while, Chen Ying said: "Just two or three years ago, our brothers still respected and loved each other, why did we meet each other in a blink of an eye? What the hell is going on here? I didn't know how to comfort him, so I stayed with him silently. When he ate that day, his mood was still very heavy, and he didn't smile all the time, and Chen Xie didn't say anything, but when he was leaving, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "When people grow up, there will be many things that they can't help themselves." Chen Xing was stunned for a moment and went dejectedly. Later, I couldn't help but say to Chen Xie: "Ah Ying is not suitable for fighting for power and profit, can you not force him?" Chen Xie sighed and said: "Yes, his mind is too simple, don't worry, I will try not to involve him in the battle between me and Chen Pu, I will let him go to the border to defend the border peace of the Great Yan Kingdom, this is also his will, but he is not mature now, I still have to hone and hone him." Hearing his words, I feel a lot more relieved, so that Ah Xing can at least be less entangled.
Since then, my attitude towards Chen Xie has been tolerant, we sometimes sit down to chat, when I don't get along with Chen Xie with a sense of resistance, I find that he is actually quite good, he is knowledgeable, funny, gentle and considerate to me, plus he is handsome, like a jade tree in the wind, I gradually stopped resisting him.
Chen Xie likes to paint, he has a lot of things to deal with during the day, usually at night will lock himself in the study to paint for half an hour, this day is rare for him to be free during the day, take me and Bao to the garden to play, at this time Bao has been able to walk, just the gait is staggering, plus he has been smiling, even if he falls down does not cry, it is very pleasing to people, Chen Xie saw and said to give Bao a portrait, let people prepare painting tools, in the garden to do painting, I was a little tired to sit aside and watch him paint, After a while, I saw a cute Po jumping on the paper, and he casually drew a frame of roses, I thought it was strange, thinking that there were many roses planted in this palace since we moved in, and asked, "Why do you like roses so much?" Chen Xie made up a few more strokes, outlined the outline of a rose, put down the pen and washed his hands, looked at me and said: "Because I was under a rose flower when I first fell in love with you," he recalled: "That day the rose was full of shelves, you smiled at me under the flower, and suddenly laughed into my heart, since then I have never forgotten you, every time I see a rose, I will think of you, and then I let people plant a lot of roses in the East Palace, and gradually like it." "I was a little confused when I listened to his words, when did I smile at him under the flowers? Why don't I have any image at all?
Chen Xie saw that I had questions on my face, and smiled slightly, "The first early summer after you arrived in Jicheng, I remember that day was April 18th, there was moonlight that night, I came out of the queen mother's dormitory It was very late, I took an attendant from the imperial garden to pass, suddenly someone came out to assassinate, I was stabbed in the leg, there were many of them, I had to hide behind the flowers, I lay there for a long time, suddenly I heard the sound of someone approaching, it was the assassin coming to me, I held my breath for fear of being discovered, at this time I saw you, The Assassin saw that someone was coming, so he hid to the side, and then you stopped under the roses, and I don't know what you were talking to your maid, and after a while the Assassin quietly retreated, and I fainted, and before I fell unconscious, the last thing I saw was you standing there smiling, and when I woke up, I could never forget your smile. ”
My eyes widened in astonishment, which one was this? I didn't know anything, but I did take the maids to the Imperial Garden twice on summer nights when I couldn't sleep. I muttered, "I don't remember, I didn't mean to save you?" "I know, but your presence did scare the Assassins, and I didn't have the strength to fight back, and they found out that it was a dead word. And Ami, your smile is really beautiful, don't you know? At that time, you smiled, and I thought that you must be a fairy in the sky, who came down to save me. I chuckled, "I just did it unintentionally, is it worth it for you to remember it for so long?" Chen Xie stretched out his hand and touched my lips, "In the next few days, I lay on the bed to recuperate, and I often think of your smile, and then you and Ah Huan came to visit the patient, I took a closer look at you, I never cared about the woman's appearance before, and that day I found that your smile was not beautiful." Later, after I recovered from the injury, I always paid attention to you, and slowly you took root in my heart, and I can never forget it. "I have a reflection of the matter of visiting the patient, that time it was Chen Huan who said that he had a cold and pulled me to visit the patient, it seems that since that time, I have felt that Chen Xie's eyes are getting hotter and hotter. I gathered my mind and asked, "Why didn't you keep quiet when you were assassinated?" Chen Xie smiled bitterly: "Do you think my father doesn't know about my assassination?" Those assassins were able to come and go quietly in the palace, how could they do it without the secret permission of their father? I was taken aback: "Didn't you say that tigers don't eat seeds?" He sneered: "The son in my father's heart is only the third brother, since Princess Zhuo entered the palace, the queen mother has not had a day of comfort, when Yan and Han were at war with the queen mother to intercede, hoping that the father can stop the war so as not to ruin the lives of the people, and was scolded back by the father, do you know why?" He didn't want me to answer, he continued: "That's accumulating military merit for General Zhuo, and it is to increase the power in General Zhuo's hands." He sneered again: "From that day on, he was determined to abolish the Queen Mother and me. Later, Korea was really defeated, and you came to Yanguo as a hostage, and the queen mother secretly cried every night, thinking that it was our mother and son who dragged down Korea and dragged down my uncle and you...... "I was stunned by his words, I never knew that the affairs of the harem were not simple, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
