Chapter 13 The gains outweigh the losses

If Yishan was unfamiliar with the environment and a little restrained when she first entered the palace, then a few days later she will be a lively and happy girl again. It's just that I'm often mistaken, mistaking Yishan for Yilin, although Princess Yishan has a cinnabar mole behind her ear, but which slave dares to look up intuitively. However, later there were several methods among the palace maids and eunuchs, which were quite effective. When the princess goes to the court, there is usually no palace maid to follow when she goes to the imperial study, and she will take Yu Lan Qingzhu two palace maids when she is free to enjoy the flowers and the moon, Yu Lan Qingzhu has always been a personal maid of the Lin, and she should recognize it. And when she went out with a few palace maids and eunuchs to lead the way, she was lively and smiling, and she should be Princess Yishan. I love red and gold jewelry, and the atmosphere is brilliant and rich. Yishan loves to write about cyan and blue, which is as light as the flowing water of a small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. In this way, it will not be that when the emperor is summoned, he meets Yishan and says, "The emperor is invited".

Life is gradually on the right track after occasional waves, and nothing has changed except for the state of mind. Cheng Zheng was promoted, and the emperor often summoned important ministers to discuss matters, and he had more opportunities to enter and leave the palace than usual. The truth is, but he's not as much as he used to be. In the past, he would always go to the palace to play with Yilin, or take Yilin out of the palace, and there was naturally a lot of going in and out, but now he has never taken the initiative to come once unless he is on official business. Here, there are many happy memories buried, but they are just memories, and now it seems that they will only increase the sentimentality of reality. Cheng Zheng and Yilin met a few times in the imperial study, just for official business, and there was no contact in private, two people who were also deep and steady, focusing on the overall situation, each suppressed their feelings in their hearts. Sometimes the emperor, even when he comes, will remind Cheng Zheng to go and see Yishan. Cheng Zheng shirked official business every time and stayed soon. Until one Cheng Zheng came out of the imperial study, he made an exception and said to send him out.

Walking outside, Yilin spoke: "Don't let your sister doubt, she is now longing for happiness, and you will make her sad if you are so cold to her." You've said yes, and you've always had to adapt to the reality. Can you avoid her like this all the time? ”

Cheng Zheng thought about it, "Aren't you sad that you pushed me to someone else like this?" ”

"You're not only making me sad now, you're worrying me. I'm worried that my sister will think too much, I'm worried that my sister will be unhappy, and I'm worried that my sister will be disappointed. If you really know me, you know what I want you to do. Yilin persuaded him.

But Cheng Zheng still insisted, "But I'm worried about you." ”

As soon as he avoided Cheng Zheng's gaze, "Don't say such things again, there are many people in the palace, and it's not good for others to hear it, and there is no past between us." I won't be any happier if you avoid her. If we are sad no matter what, why drag another person to be sad with us? Why don't you make your sister happy, at least you can make her happy. ”

“……”

"My sister knows that you entered the palace today, she is waiting for you, you can go. Sooner or later, you'll have to go through this. "After speaking, I went back to the imperial study.

This matter is indeed more decisive than Cheng Zheng, and the result of the devastation will be revealed sooner or later, how long can you escape like this. How can I blame you for failing me, I should blame myself, or this fate. If I can really let go, it would be fine, if I can't let go, this faint pain, should be reminded of me from time to time, as a monarch, just have the world in mind, remind me that I should give up what I should give up, remind me that I can't only have myself in my eyes. I can even give it to you, and what else I can't do. Ah Zheng, do you say that I have grown up?

Cheng Zheng accompanied Yishan in Minghe Palace for lunch before leaving the palace. Yishan who saw Cheng Zheng was really happy, and she was very excited in the afternoon, and she actually started in the small kitchen of Minghe Palace in person, and drove all the people in the palace maid's dining room out, and she didn't know what to do inside. Two hours later, Fu Ling and Xuan Bi, who were guarding outside and didn't dare to leave, finally saw Yishan come out with two food boxes, one left and one right, and the two girls were relieved to catch the food boxes, and Yishan was still reluctant to let go.

"This is for Cheng Zheng, blow the spirit you personally sent to the Zhenxi Wangfu to Cheng Zheng, and tell him that I did it personally. Remember to hand it over to Cheng Zheng yourself. ”

Blowing Ling led the order away, and Xuan Bi asked, "Princess, who is this box for?" ”

"For my father and sister, they will definitely feel fresh about the small snacks in Jiangnan, so we will send them them."

"The princess really has a heart, the eldest princess and the emperor will definitely like it very much."

"That's, come, you take it carefully."

In the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor sat in front of the bookcase and sipped tea, and when he came, he was looking at a fold on the side seat. Recently, state affairs have not been busy, the emperor always summons a guest to the Qinzheng Hall or the imperial study, and many excerpts are let one by one glance, asking her opinions and countermeasures, and she is really cultivated as a prince.

Ming An came in softly: "Your Majesty, the second princess is here." ”

"Xuan in."

"Yes." Ming An turned around to pick up Yishan in.

Yishan made a regular ceremony as usual, "Yishan specially made Jiangnan dim sum today for my father and sister to taste." ”

The emperor was pleasantly surprised: "Oh? Gangnam dim sum? Yishan can also cook? ”

Yishan said modestly: "Yishan is not good at cooking, and I ask my father and sister not to dislike it." ”

"Bring it to me and try it." The emperor couldn't wait.

Xuanbi opened the food box, handed a plate to Ming'an, and Yishan took another plate to Yilin, "This is called Cuirong cake, sister to see if it suits the taste." ”

The emperor ate a piece, "Well, it's really good, it's rare for Yishan to have such craftsmanship." ”

Yilin also praised, "Yes, it is worthy of the skillful hands of my sister, sweet but not greasy, hard sister." ”

Yishan said happily, "It's not hard, just like my father and sister." ”

"I just had a meal with Cheng Zheng today, and I'm in such a good mood?" I'm making fun of her.

Yishan looked shy, "Oh, my sister made fun of me." ”

"I chased after him, and said no, looking at your shy appearance, it's obvious."

"I can't hide anything from my sister. It was lunch with Cheng Zheng today, and I mentioned Jiangnan dim sum, and Cheng Zheng said that he hadn't eaten it, so I cooked some with my own hands. But I'm not good at cooking, and I don't know how to cook much, and this cuirong cake is quite good. Yishan blushed as she spoke.

Yilin cried out: "It seems that my father and I are blessed today thanks to Cheng Zheng." If you get married in two months, what will my father and I do? ”

"Oops, sister."

The emperor let them laugh and did not mix.

On the occasion of tasting dim sum, Yishan glanced at the folds that Yilin put down, and asked, "Sister is looking at the Southeast Military?" ”

"Yes, this is Yuan Chen's entry into Beijing to bring his father, the King of Minnan, on the military affairs of the southeast." Unhurriedly, he put down the snack and put away the folds.

Yishan thought for a moment, "Yuan Chen? I think I've heard about him. ”

"Oh? Is it? How so? ”

"I used to live in Jiangnan, and I often met officials who collected military supplies and sent them to the southeast border, so I also heard a little about it. Some people say that Yuan Chen ...... him, "Yishan was a little hesitant.

"What about him?"

"He has practiced divine skills, and as soon as he goes to the battlefield, he can change into three heads and six arms, and he can retreat tens of thousands of enemies alone." What Yishan said is very serious.

Yilin laughed: "Three heads and six arms? Tens of thousands of enemies? Hahaha! Let's wait for my sister to see if that's the case. ”

"I see him? How could I see him in the palace? ”

Yilin explained, "He entered Beijing this time for the military of southern Fujian, and of course he will also attend the wedding between you and Cheng Zheng." Two months later, you and Cheng Zheng will get married, and you will naturally see him. ”

"That's right." Yishan nodded.

"When the time comes, don't think he's a monster and rude." When I think of this rumor, I still can't help but feel funny.

"Yilin is right, you and Cheng Zheng will get married in two months, about court etiquette and wedding ceremonies, you have to study hard, don't lose your sense of proportion when the time comes." The emperor commanded.

Yishan was full of confidence, "No, don't worry, Father, she told me." ”

The emperor disagreed, "Isn't Blowing Ling your palace maid, she also understands fur." That's it, Ming'an, you go to the palace and choose two older aunts, and teach Princess Yishan etiquette well, seeing that the wedding is imminent, you must not be sloppy. ”

"Yes." Ming'an led the order. This time there is no room for even reciprocation, although I don't like it in my heart, I have to accept it.

Yishan just withdrew, and asked the emperor, "My father doesn't seem to like my sister participating in politics." ”

"How so?" When you were talking about Cheng Zheng just now, I didn't say a word.

"Then why did my father signal me to put it away and bring a bunch of palace instruments to my sister?"

The emperor said: "She is not familiar with the palace, and it is natural for her to learn the rules and etiquette of the palace." ”

Yilin asked: "Why didn't my father mention it before, but arranged it when my sister was interested in the war in the southeast?" ”

The emperor smiled and said: "You, you are worthy of being taught by your father himself, or do you know your father." ”

"Thank you for your compliment."

"She is different from you, Yishan has not been in the palace since she was a child, and she will get married soon, so it's better not to get involved in these things."

Yilin nodded: "It's a blessing that she can have a stable and happy life." ”

Yishan walked out of the door of the Qinzheng Palace, and he was angry. She asked Xuan Bi to go back to the palace first, and walked around the imperial garden by herself. I didn't get any benefit from two plates of dim sum, but I put a shackle on myself, why should I bother. Why can my sister openly talk about my marriage, I just don't know the etiquette if I say a few more words. Why can my sister participate in court politics, but I can only nest in the deep palace to learn etiquette, and just gave me the privilege of leaving the palace, which is another reason to lock me up. Your Majesty, since you recognize me, you should treat me as a daughter, why is there such a big difference between me and my sister. Hmph, the more Yishan thought about it, the more angry she became. It is said that when people are angry, they don't like anything, and at this time she is, the sky is blue, and the clouds are white will provoke her. The delicate and blooming pink peony in front of her also made Yishan feel quite undeserved, she was about to grab it, but was snatched by a little girl and scolded decisively.

Before he could speak, he recognized Jiaorong, "Jiaorong? "It's okay, it's good that I didn't say the curse words.

Jiaorong was frightened by Yishan's roar, and offered the flower both hands, "I'm sorry, Second Emperor Sister." I didn't mean to. ”

Well, at least I didn't admit that I was wrong, forgive you. The little girl is quite sensible, Yishan knows that she is not favored, and she is also a fallen person at the end of the world, and she doesn't want to bully her. Seeing that Jiaorong carried a small flower basket, Yishan was curious, "Jiaorong, what are you picking so many flowers for?" ”

"I, I want to make sachets." Bright like a child who has done something wrong.

"Sachet? You can't make a sachet with so many flowers, huh? ”

Kyaukrong said, "I'm going to make a lot of sachets. ”

Yishan couldn't help but wonder: "What is it for?" ”

"Here, a wedding gift for Sister Yishan." Kyaukrong replied timidly.

Yishan asked reluctantly, "I can't use so much for my wedding gift." ”

"I also want to give it to my father and my sister. Because of me, I don't usually see my father and sister, and I want to take this opportunity to give it to them, so that when they see the sachet in the future, they will think of Jiaorong, and they will come to see Jiaorong. ”

You know so much at a young age, and you smile bitterly, when you grow up, you don't know how to fight for power, and when you hit a crack, you sharpen your head and drill. Struggle for power? Didn't I just feel indignant because of my sister, hehe, shouldn't this palace be like this, what's so strange, what's there to sigh. If you are not forced to be helpless, who is willing to stain your hands with dirt, everyone has unspeakable suffering. Yishan felt a little sorry for her, and said gently, "I'll help you pick flowers." ”

Jiaorong hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, "Okay, thank you, Second Emperor Sister." ”

Yishan helped Jiaorong pick enough flowers, and said to Jiaorong, "There are fine silk threads and fabrics in my palace, which my father just gave me to cut clothes and silk silk a few days ago, so I'll give you some to make sachets." ”

"Yes, yes." Kyaukrong happily agreed, her clothes were only made by the Internal Service Bureau according to the position, and she rarely had the opportunity to get expensive fabrics.

"By the way, there is also Cuirong cake in my palace, which is Jiangnan dim sum made by me, and I will take you to taste it."

"Really?" Jiao Rong was a little flattered.

"Look at how happy you are, haven't you ever eaten before?"

"Hmm." Kyauk Rong nodded heavily.

"Let's go, I'll take you." After all, it's a child, and it's just a little idea to play a little idea, and he was deceived in a few words.
