Chapter 3 Yin Glass

Deng Sui heard his father say that when Emperor Zhang chose concubines in the first place, there were not only the Dou sisters, but also the beautiful and cowardly Song sisters, the cousins of the Empress Dowager Ma Mingde, and the Liang sisters, the nieces of the eldest princess of Wuyin. All six women were made nobles, and one of them would become the future queen.

The Dou family used means and beauty to get the position of the queen, but the Song nobles were the most gentleman Liu Qing, the third son of the emperor, and then in April of the fourth year of the founding of the country, Emperor Zhang did not take into account the feelings of the Dou family, and appointed Liu Qing, who was less than two years old, as the crown prince.

But the Dou family couldn't tolerate all this, and she, together with her mother, Princess Yuyang, kept designing to frame the Song family. At first, he knocked on the side in front of Emperor Zhang and said strange things about Song Guiren, but Emperor Zhang ignored it.

Later, Dou began to observe the life of the Song nobles in order to find out the flaws, and finally she put the Song nobles to death on the grounds that the Song family wanted to curse the emperor's early death through Gu Dao.

Sadly, Emperor Zhang, who was constantly bewitched by Dou's slander, finally lost his reason, he believed the words of the Empress Dou, and gradually became estranged from the Song nobles and the crown prince.

Three years after Liu Qing was made the crown prince, he was finally deposed and demoted to the position of King Xiaohe of Qinghe. However, poor Song Guiren was expelled from the palace and constantly tortured and interrogated by Dou's minions, and finally she couldn't bear this reality, left her young child, and committed suicide by drinking medicine.

However, although Emperor Zhang was negative towards Song Guiren, it did not affect him to be Liu Qing's good father. He abolished Liu Qing's crown prince, but he was forced by the Song nobles' witch Gu to do so, and he still paid considerable attention to Liu Qing's growth. Not only did Liu Qing still enjoy the same costumes, carriages, horses, and palace as the prince, but also in order to prevent the prince from ascending the throne in the future, he was suspicious of his brother, and while the two sons were still young, Emperor Zhang also specially asked them to go out and share the car, and the relationship between the brothers was very deep.

But what should come will always come, after Liu Zhao ascended the throne, the Dou clan, who held great power, still couldn't tolerate this deposed prince who threatened Liu Zhao's throne, and finally drove him out of the palace and went to his fief to be his Qinghe filial piety king.

But this incident happened a few months ago, and I don't know how this abolished prince Liu Qing was chased and killed to her house again.

Deng Sui frowned lightly and was silent, but Liu Qing was uneasy in his heart, not knowing what kind of behavior this smart little girl would have towards his identity. But Deng Sui's next words relieved him.

"Sui'er visited the prince, I immediately told my father, please rest assured, Sui'er has been keeping your affairs here a secret for you, in case there is a change. The prince will rest first, and Sui'er will retire. After she bowed down, she drifted away, leaving only a wisp of incense, which did not disperse for a long time. Liu Qing didn't have time to speak, he only looked at the door in a daze, and his heart seemed to drift away.

Deng Xun listened to his daughter's return, and Yingting's brows rose, "Sui'er, King Qinghe is here, the stakes are very high, if the Dou family knows about it, not only will King Qinghe's life be lost, but our family will also face great difficulties, so you only declare to the outside world that he is the youngest son of the world doctor Liu Ying, who came here to play, occasionally contracted the wind and cold, and recuperated here." You can't talk about anything else, you know? ”

Deng Sui smiled knowingly, "Father, Sui'er understands." It was still his father's thoughtfulness and gave him an identity, so that Sui'er would not have to take care of him every day. After that, he kept his mouth open, smiled smartly, and looked forward to it, and Deng Xun laughed.

"You kid, you don't want to take care of the sick for a long time, do you? That's it, in this case, I will arrange it, and when he recovers from his injury, I will send him away to Qinghe. ”

Deng Sui said, "Then I'll go to study, thank my father for sparing Sui'er." She made a grimace, and her childlike appearance was undoubtedly revealed, but it made Deng Xun even happier.

Deng Sui rarely has this state, and has always been steady and quiet. When she was five years old, her grandmother cut her hair and broke her forehead. But she endured the pain and kept silent, until she finished cooperating with the cut, and she looked very happy. Afterwards, the servants asked her, "Aren't you in pain?" ”

She said, "How can it not hurt, it's just that my grandmother cut my hair because she loved me, and if I cried, it would make my grandmother sad and sad, and I didn't want her to be sad, so I endured the pain." The people were amazed at the child's sensibility. But Deng Xun often hopes that his daughter can be like other children, playing and jumping, innocent and cute.

When Deng Sui went to his grandmother's residence to ask for peace, the maid Ying'er ran quickly to her, "Miss, Miss, the housewife invited you to go, saying that there is something to find you." ”

Deng Sui stopped, pondered for a while, and said, "I haven't gone to my grandmother's place to ask for peace for a few days, and the family has its own generation, and after I ask for peace, I will go to my mother's place." ”

After that, he still didn't change his direction, and he didn't leave Sakura to go, and he didn't stay, so he had to wait in place. muttered to herself, "This young lady always abides by etiquette like this, and she really can't do anything about her." If I go back, I will inevitably be scolded, so it is better to wait here, and then say that I didn't find Miss, and then go with Miss, so that the mistress will not scold me. ”

When she had made up her mind, she sat under the porch, looking around for fear of being seen as lazy. The Deng family's housemother, Yin, is the niece of Liu Xiu's wife, Yin Lihua, needless to say, and has developed a willful and domineering temperament since she was a child. But she is really good at housework, and she manages the family well, and even Deng Xun admires her. Not only is he strict with his subordinates, but his children are also not allowed to be disobeyed.

Sakura is the maid beside her, so she is naturally familiar with her temperament, and of course she has the principle of hiding if she can. When she was bored and anxious, she finally saw Deng Sui dressed up neatly, followed by two maids, walking slowly.

She hurriedly rushed over and said, "Miss, you have finally come out, I am dying, if I don't go again, my ass will have to bloom." ”

Deng Sui sneered and laughed, "Ying'er, you are the most shrewd person by your mother's side, you don't know it, you are waiting for me here, you have already thought of the words, right?" ”

Sakura smiled and said, "Miss, I can't hide anything from you, no wonder my family says that you are a half-immortal behind my back, I, I just thought, when the time comes, I will say that I haven't found you, and the master mother will probably be able to get through!" Sakura touched her head, only a wry smile.

"What? Half-immortal? Deng Sui not only smiled dumbly, "When did I have such a name?" Well, I'm not angry with you, let's go, but you don't have to lie about it, I went to visit my grandmother, and although my mother was not happy, she knew that I was polite and would not say anything about me. It's you, my mother is so shrewd, how can you deceive her with your little lie, it's better to tell the truth. ”

Sakura patted her head again, "That's what Miss said." The slave and maid will no longer lie. ”

Deng Sui walked towards the main room and asked Ying'er, "Mother is in a hurry to find me something, these days, I haven't gone to ask for peace, my father thinks that he has already taken leave with her, if my mother is not in trouble, she will not look for me." ”

"Exactly, miss, don't you hear the commotion outside? I heard that the mistress's private house was coming, and it was really magnificent. The mistress is looking for you for this purpose. ”

Deng Sui listened to it, and understood most of it, knowing that this matter was a big deal in his mother's heart. I am my mother's daughter, how can I not go out to greet guests. So he quickened his pace and hurried to the main hall.

Yin is now twenty-eight years old, with moth eyebrows and bright teeth, skin like clotted fat, tall and tall, thin waist like willows, although he has three children, he is still brilliant and extraordinary.

She was standing in the middle of the main hall at this time, and there were ten handmaidens standing on either side, all bowing their heads and making no sound. Outside the main hall, a group of slaves and maids are cleaning and hanging colors, although they are busy, they are orderly and not chaotic at all. Deng Sui bowed down and said, "Mother, Sui'er greets you, how many days will my mother be okay?" ”

Yin glanced at Deng Sui and said, "Why are you so late, get up, your father said that you are taking care of the sick, and I won't ask you about it." But your uncle's granddaughter, Yin Li, is here today, she is a year older than you, and you are about the same age, so you can play together, so your mother has asked you to receive her. Your two brothers have gone out to pick them up, sit down and wait a while, they should be there soon. ”

"Whoa!" Deng Sui agreed, knelt on the couch at the bottom, and not only had a little curiosity in his heart. Yin Li, this name, she has heard of since she was a child, he is the daughter of her cousin Yin Gang. Since her cousin was much older than herself, she had only met once.

It is said that Yin Li has been smart since childhood, can write and paint, and is good at sound, and is very liked by Yin Gang, and love is like a pearl in the palm of his hand. She is a generation older than her, and if you talk about seniority, Yin Li should call herself her cousin. Thinking of this, not only did she smile, but she was still a year younger than her, but she was her cousin, which was really funny.

At this time, there was some noise outside, and Yin Li stood up, stood behind her mother, and stood with her hands in a very respectful and polite manner.

Outside the gate, a carriage with colorful tassels stopped at the door, and there were several large carts behind the carriage, pulling some boxes, as well as maidservants, servants, etc. Two teenagers jumped off their horses and stood in front of the car. The curtain in front of the car opened, and a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth peeked out of the car. Dressed in white, Shengxue, although he simply pulled a cloud bun on the top of his head and inserted a white jade hairpin, he had an elegant temperament and an arrogant demeanor.

Several maidservants in the house immediately stepped forward, put high stools, and helped her get down from the carriage. Her figure has not yet grown up, weak and slender, which makes people feel pity when they see it.

The two teenagers are Deng Sui's two elder brothers, Deng Qiu and Deng Hong. Under the guidance of the maidservant, Yin Li walked to the house, at this time the house had been cleaned and quiet, she walked slowly, a pair of beautiful eyes looked around, and her heart was secretly surprised.

The Yin clan did not arrange the courtyard with great fanfare, but it looked noble and festive everywhere. Yin Li is her nickname, her name is Yin Xiaohe, but she doesn't like this name, but she likes the nickname her father gave her, Yin Li. Since she was a child, she knew that the only way out for her future was to enter the palace, and only in this way would she have the glory and wealth she wanted. And Deng Sui is her only opponent.

Deng Sui's beauty and knowledge have long been passed into her ears. But whenever she feels sorry for herself, she always thinks that her beauty is difficult for anyone to surpass.

This time I came to see the Yin family, but also to find out Deng Sui's strength. She stepped on the steps step by step, saw her grandmother in the main hall, and bowed down, "Li'er wishes that my grandmother is in good health." Her voice is still not out of the child's voice, melodious and soft.

Yin smiled and helped her up, "Li'er, not long after you were born, I saw you once, when you were still a baby, and you have been so beautiful at this time, time really waits for no one." Your father is good, I haven't seen him in a long time. ”

"Thank you to my grandmother for your concern, and my father is well. Uncle Zu is good, why haven't you seen it? ”

"He, there is something in the back hall, come to Li'er, you come to meet, this is your cousin, Sui'er."

Deng Sui had already seen Yin Li come in, and was not only surprised by Yin Li's beauty. When she saw her mother introduce herself, she came to Yin Li and looked at her with a smile.

Yin Li seemed to feel a ball of light and shadow flashing in front of her, the girl in front of her black hair was like paint, her skin was like jade, with a playful smile on the side of her small mouth, and the sunlight shone in her clear eyes, just like two stars, no fat powder, but delicate and charming, not only her heart was pounding. She remembered the verses in the Book of Songs, her hands were like soft wattles, her skin was like clotted fat, her collar was like a grub, her teeth were like a rhinoceros, her head was like a moth, her smile was clever, and her eyes were beautiful.

For a moment, he forgot to give a gift. Yin coughed deliberately, and then she bowed, "See cousin." ”

Deng Sui helped her up and said, "You and I are the same age, you are still a year older than me, don't care about his generation, just call us names." I call you Li'er, can you call me Sui'er? ”

Yin Li nodded, her pretty face was cloudy, Deng Sui looked at Yin, "Mother, is Li'er going to live at home for a while?" Isn't it wonderful to arrange it in my room, where we face each other day and night, holding hands and talking? ”

Yin nodded, "Okay, Li'er, you and Sui'er can go, that's fine, you can just play together." ”

Deng Sui listened, happily took Yin Li's hand, she has not had a female companion since she was a child, and she was overjoyed to see Yin Li at this time.
