Chapter 24: Grievances
Yesterday Yanyan was too tired, after a day of running, I wanted to take a nap when I got home, but I slept until four o'clock in the morning, and it was a problem with Yanyan, so today I made up a long chapter for everyone, and it was more early ha. I hope you will forgive me! This chapter is starting to have a storm, pay attention!
Body:
I was enjoying the breeze by the lake, and my mood calmed down a little, when I saw a palace girl about my age approaching from a distance, followed by two maids.
I was speculating about the identity of this woman in my heart, when a maid behind her suddenly spoke: "Bold, I saw that the tenth princess didn't even salute." ”
I was startled and hurriedly knelt down: "Ding Muqing, the fifth daughter of Xiangguo, didn't know that the tenth princess was approaching, and she missed the distance, so I hope the tenth princess will forgive her sins." ”
The tenth princess Jiang Yunyue is the youngest daughter of the emperor, and her mother Concubine Yun died early. The emperor took pity on her for losing her mother and put her to Ruan Guifei to raise, just so that she could accompany the four princes and the ninth princes. Because of the favor of her adoptive mother Ruan Guifei, the emperor often goes to Ruan Guifei's Star Picking Palace, and you can see the tenth princess from time to time, plus she is the youngest daughter of the emperor, so she naturally grew up in favor since she was a child. Therefore, Du Yuxuan also specially told her to stay away if he saw her.
I felt that Jiang Yunyue seemed to be resentful when she came over, and sure enough, she didn't let me get up even after kneeling for a long time. I looked up at her, but I saw that she had willow eyebrows, a small round face, and a pair of bright eyes like black grapes, which made her look delicate and cute. But at this moment, this face that should be lovely is matched with the majesty and anger that is extremely incompatible.
After a long time, she said: "It turned out to be Ding Xiang's daughter, this princess doesn't like others to be taller than me, so you can kneel and reply." ”
I was dumbfounded, this little princess really didn't lose her arrogant nature, and she would give me a disgrace as soon as she came. Before I could speak, Rulan had already spoken: "Back to the tenth princess, my young lady's legs are not good, and she can't kneel for a long time, even the queen mother, she is also allowed not to kneel, and please forgive the ten princesses." ”
Jiang Yunyue turned her eyes to look at Rulan and gently spit out two words: "Palm!" The maid behind her came up and slapped Rulan in the mouth. Although this maid is young and has little strength, these two bars used all their strength, and Rulan's face immediately swollen.
I was a little confused, it is said that I have never dealt with the tenth princess, of course, there can be no grudges, but this is obviously the rhythm of looking for ballast.
I felt sorry for Rulan, but I didn't know what was going on, so I had to test it first: "Princess, what Rulan said is true, but the princess wants me to kneel, and Mu Qing should obey her fate." Rulan is just a protector and asks the princess for forgiveness. ”
Jiang Yunyue snorted and said, "You don't have to pretend to be so deferential, a girl dares to use the queen to press me, and you don't put the royal family in your eyes at all, which shows the wolf ambition of your Ding family!" “
"Why did the princess say this, the Ding family is loyal to the emperor, and the sky can show it, and there is no second heart. Rulan just stated the facts, and did not mean to offend the princess, please princess Mingjian! I hurriedly bent down and said hurriedly, and my heart turned a hundred thoughts, but I still didn't figure out why Jiang Yunyue would attack the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Shut up, what kind of loyalty, and the sky can be expressed, you are not afraid of thunder and thunder? You are faithful, I am afraid you are loyal to the throne! Jiang Yunyue spoke faster and faster, and began to say nothing.
I was afraid that she would say something even more shocking, and I wanted to stop her: "Princess, please be cautious, whether the Ding family is loyal to the royal family is not up to the princess!" ”
Jiang Yunyue's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she sneered and said: "What a daughter of the Prime Minister's house, what a sharp mouth!" Unfortunately, this is the case. If it weren't for the monstrous power of your Prime Minister's Mansion, how could the Du family not let go of the good imperial relatives and marry their daughter into your Prime Minister's Mansion? My ninth brother is a young hero, and he has a relationship with Sister Du first, if it weren't for the difficulty of your Xiangfu strongman, and the Du family took a fancy to your only son in Xiangfu, how could Sister Du empathize and not marry? ”
Jiang Yunyue's words were like thunder, shaking my ears so much that I couldn't hear her words, and I only muttered to myself: "No, the third brother and Du Yuxuan are in love, not like this." I sat on my knees, my heart was beating fast, everything behind me became blurred, and there was only one thing in my heart that I wanted to confirm: Who did Du Yuxuan love?
"What are you doing?" I heard a loud roar, and when I looked up, it was Jiang Yunlin. He rushed over and tried to pick me up, but my legs were numb and I couldn't stand up. He picked me up by the waist, turned to Jiang Yunyue and said, "You don't have the demeanor of a princess this morning, and you are talking nonsense to your courtiers. Du Yuxuan has no marriage contract with the ninth brother, and she has no reason to marry anyone, you are here to make a lot of nonsense, slandering the prime minister of the dynasty, and this marriage is the will of the father, you are saying this now, it is also a great disrespect to the father. Today's matter, I will definitely return to my mother, you go back and think about it, and wait for the punishment! ”
After speaking, he didn't look at Jiang Yunyue and hugged me down the mountain. I unconsciously shrunk into Jiang Yunlin's arms, and it took me a long time to find my voice: "Let me down, I can go by myself." ”
"No, don't let go of death, can't you protect yourself? Your dignified young lady was frightened by a princess, and she really knelt down and didn't dare to get up? "I think he's a bit incoherent.
"What kind of logic are you? She is a princess, she is a king, I am a minister, don't say that I am just a young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if my father is here today, I am afraid that I can only kneel! "I was a little dazzled by him.
"Logic? What do you mean? He muttered and asked, but before I could answer, he hurriedly said, "Then give in, get up first, you don't know how to protect yourself, how can I rest assured?" ”
I looked at his reddened eyes and didn't understand, "Are you sad for me?" My legs have always been like this, just take a break. Don't do this, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself well in the future. You let me down first, I have something to ask you. ”
He finally stopped and sat me down on a rock. I looked back and saw that Rulan had been thrown away by him.
"Ask, are you going to ask Du Yuxuan and the ninth brother about it?" He looked me in the eye.
I nodded, a little hesitant to start.
Jiang Yunlin seemed to be able to see through my thoughts: "There is no deep affection as the tenth sister said." At that time, his father valued Marshal Du, and he also valued Du Yuxuan's father. It just so happened that my mother raised our three children, but there was only one girl, the tenth sister, and she couldn't play with us, so she was very lonely. Therefore, the mother concubine often summoned Du Yuxuan to the palace to accompany her. So the four of us often play together. Later, my tenth sister and I found that Du Yuxuan and the ninth brother had a good relationship, and the ninth brother had a young heart, and once admitted to us that he liked Du Yuxuan, but Du Yuxuan did not respond. ”
The more I listened, the more my heart sank: this kind of childhood sweetheart, the relationship between the two little guesses is the most innocent and the most difficult to forget, how can Du Yuxuan deceive his brother's feelings?
"And then?" After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear Jiang Yunlin continue to speak.
"No, then, this relationship has not developed until the ninth brother went to Ancheng three years ago. From beginning to end, it was just that the ninth brother unilaterally said that he liked it, and as far as I know, Du Yuxuan did not express anything. The tenth sister has a very good relationship with me and the ninth brother, and this time Du Yuxuan married into your family, she has always been angry with the ninth brother. So when I saw you this time, I sprinkled all my anger on you, and you were good, and you accepted it and accepted it all. ”
I was afraid that he would digress again, so I hurriedly asked, "What about His Royal Highness the Nine?" What was the reaction of His Highness the Nine? Does the emperor know about this? If he knew, why didn't he make decisions for his son, but agreed to the marriage of the Ding Du family? ”
Jiang Yunlin frowned and looked at me: "You really know a lot." The ninth brother did not react, and even the letter he gave me did not mention this matter, and he did not return to Beijing when Du Yuxuan became married. As for his father, he probably didn't know. Even if he knew, he would still agree to the marriage. This marriage was personally requested by your father, and it is impossible for your father not to refuse, and in addition, he has always been ...... to the ninth brother It's all very light. ”
I remembered Ding Xiang and sneered: "It's really royal family affection as light as water, they are all their own sons, but they have to be separated." ”
Jiang Yunlin said with a straight face: "Qingqing, I don't allow you to talk about your father like this." Everyone has a preference, and when there are many children, there is always a difference. Sometimes it's not deliberate, it's natural. It's just that being born in the royal family is always different, even if I am deeply favored by my father, I can't always do whatever I want. If compared with the national plan, personal affection is always ranked second in the royal family. ”
When I heard the last sentence, my heart was gloomy, and I wondered if I would one day come in second place if I were to clash with his national plans. I didn't dare to ask that, because I knew the answer must not be what I wanted to hear. At the same time, he also knew that he had lost his words, so he nodded and stopped talking.
Rulan easily caught up and helped me down from the stone, and I rested for a while, my legs were much better. Jiang Yunlin said: "I'm going to leave Beijing in the next two days, last time my father asked me to go to the people to have a look, I have been shirking for several months, and I have been worried that you are not afraid to leave, but just now my father called me again, but this time I can't push it." It may take a month, you're fine, I'll come back and see you. ”
I nodded. I was still entangled in Du Yuxuan's affairs, and I didn't care too much about his words. He saw that I didn't look nostalgic, and sighed lightly and said, "Ling Yun is here?" ”
Lingyun turned out from the rocks behind him, and I was used to Lingyun's elusiveness, so I didn't think it was strange. Ling Yun stepped forward and saluted, Jiang Yunlin said, "I know that you are also powerless in what happened just now, and you can't do anything with the princess." ”
Ling Yun nodded and said, "Thank you for your compassion, but if she dares to make further moves, then even if Ling Yun gives up this life, she will protect Miss Thoroughly." ”
Jiang Yunlin nodded and said: "You don't have to risk your life, here is a royal gold medal, even if there is a big thing, you can be exempted from any punishment first, you take it on your body, unless the emperor is there in person, other people can use this gold medal to send away." ”
Ling Yun looked at me, I shook my head and said, "No, this gold medal was given to you by the emperor, wouldn't it be too ostentatious for you to openly transfer it to me?" Besides, if you go to Beijing this time, this gold medal will be more useful to you. I don't usually go out, why do you want this? ”
Jiang Yunlin said with a smile: "My identity is the best gold medal, if my identity can't protect me, this gold medal will be gone." You stay, what is the swagger or not, I handed it over to Ling Yun just to let him have something to use, and it is indeed a bit swaggering to be seen by others on you. However, I hope to be swaggering, so that everyone knows that the fifth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is my Jiang Yunlin's person, don't mess around. He seemed to glance at Ling Yun.
I sneered, "Shameless, who is your person." Don't talk nonsense here, let's go back early. Knowing that he was afraid that he would not leave if he didn't accept the gold medal today, he said: "Lingyun will help you keep this gold medal first." ”
Hearing this, Ling Yun stretched out his hand to take the gold medal and said, "The villain must protect the young lady, please rest assured." ”
