Chapter 114: Grudge (2)
After leaving the garden with Hanxi, Sutong has been looking uneasy. Until she returned to the side hall of Xuanhe Palace, she had a miserable little face, kept stroking her chest, and said cowardly: "I was really scared to death just now!" The crown princess has always been intolerant of anyone's infringement, and everyone in the palace, even some of the emperor's concubines with a slightly lower rank, are extremely afraid of her. Sister Shangyi didn't give in to the crown princess at all today, although Su Tong admired it very much, she really pinched a cold sweat for you! ”
Han Xi smiled at her kindly and comforted: "It's okay, I am doing things for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not the people under the Crown Princess." I don't have much to do with the people in the harem, and I shouldn't meet lightly in the future. As the saying goes, the well water does not interfere with the river water, so I just avoid it more. ”
Su Tong nodded and said in a low voice: "Sister Shangyi doesn't know, our crown princess is very noble. Her father is Lord Situ Xi, the emperor of the dynasty, and her mother is the eldest princess Chengping, the sister of the emperor's mother. After all, the crown princess is the prince's cousin. The crown princess has been a golden branch since she was a child, and she was promised to His Royal Highness the crown prince shortly after she was born. I heard that the emperor had promised a long time ago that when the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, he would definitely crown the crown princess as the queen, and no one else would be allowed to touch the queen's throne! ”
The ancients were indeed right, and the road is really narrow!
Han Xi sneered in his heart, it turned out that this high-flying and domineering princess was actually Nangong Xi's daughter! It seems that she has to be wary of this hostess of the East Palace. The relationship between the crown prince Situ Mu and the emperor Situ Bi was not harmonious, but when Situ Bi seized the throne in his early years, he was conspired against and seriously injured, and he was very weak in terms of heirs. Although he had many concubines, he only had one son and three daughters for Situ Mu. So much so that the crown prince. He had no choice.
It's just that Situ Bi's throne was not easy to come by, which made him stubbornly greedy for imperial power and unwilling to give power to Situ Mu. I heard that Situ Bi was looking for the art of immortality everywhere, taking pills every day, and delusionally wanting to sit on the throne of the emperor forever. And Situ Mu was young and vigorous, he couldn't get used to his father's stubbornness and pedantic, and he wanted to have his own deeds, so he often had disputes with the emperor. Situ Bi and Situ Xi won the world together in their early years, and now they marry Situ Xi's daughter to Situ Mu as his wife. It is also a way to balance the crown prince.
The heavenly family really has no family affection at all! The father is afraid of his son. The son reckoned with the father. Their Situ family of the Great Zhou royal family, is it like this in all dynasties?
Even the two people who should be extremely close to the husband and wife are more mixed with hypocrisy and interests. Seemingly. Indeed Situ had a hard time. The father was addicted to power and was unwilling to let go of power. The wife is also a pawn used to contain him and spy on him. This situation. It can be described as "the enemy on the belly and back"! But the more this happens, the easier it is for him to trust and rely on the people who give him help and encouragement. Hanxi closed his eyes, and he already had a plan in his heart.
I just entered the palace today. There is no need to take up the post immediately, but it gives Hanxi half a day to rest and clean up. Su Tong is diligent with his hands and feet, and he is also careful in his work, and he will soon take care of the side hall properly, without the need for cold tides.
In his busy time, Han Xi made himself a cup of tea and took "The Art of War" to read. She had read it in the past, but she hadn't studied it in depth. Now that he has entered the palace, it is necessary for Haosheng to study these strategies. Fortunately, Sun Tzu's art of war is not as obscure as Mozi's, and Hanxi is already intelligent, and it seems that he is handy, and it is not laborious.
Han Xi was looking at himself, and when he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, he followed the sound and looked. Su Tong, who thought he had gone to the Internal Affairs Office to get the degree, came back, but when he looked up, he was surprised to find that the person who came was Tang Bu surprised!
The side hall where Hanxi lives is located in the Xuanhe Hall of Zhenghe Palace, where the prince usually reads and deals with affairs, is not a harem, so it is more convenient for outsiders to enter and exit. Tang Bushu should have just come out of the prince's study, and went straight to Hanxi.
Because of what happened in the Tang Mansion that day, Han Xi didn't want to deal with him, so he just hung his head and continued to study. Tang was not shocked or worried about her, he walked around calmly, and said leisurely: "This residence is very good, very clean, it seems that the prince treats you very well." Well, 'Qing Ming Ju', the name is also very elegant, there is such a place suitable for self-cultivation in the East Palace! ”
Han Xi glanced at him, and said unceremoniously: "It's just an idle palace, it's just for me to use, why do you need to find a bunch of high-sounding excuses?" Besides, the prince is not here now, and he can't hear your bunch of flattering words, so what's the use of you? ”
Tang Bu was not surprised and didn't answer her words, just looked at the book in Han Xi's hand, and said with a smile: "Sun Tzu's Art of War is indeed very suitable for reading in the deep palace, and you, the female officer who holds the pen, have done a lot of homework." ”
Han Xi closed the scroll with a "snap", with a smile on his face, but it was a detached and indifferent smile, and there was no trace of temperature in his eyes: "Of course, Han Xi naturally has to be careful about everything, and you must not lose your cousin's face!" ”
"Alas," Tang Bu was surprised to see that she was so wary of estrangement, and his heart was not good, so he smiled and said a little heavily, "I am not your old enemy, so why do you have to go toe-to-toe with me like this?" I heard that you have already met with the crown princess today, and I think you already know her identity. I'm here just to remind you that the crown princess is not a good person! If you meet her, don't provoke her, or things will get more tricky. Then there is that when you follow the prince to do things, you must be clever and intelligent, but don't show your edge too much, so as not to attract jealousy and make too many enemies. That's all I have to say, since you don't want to see me, then I'll take my leave. ”
With that, Tang turned around and left. Hanxi listened to his advice, knowing that his attitude was a little excessive, and he also regretted it in his heart, but he held on to his face and refused to show weakness.
It's just that Tang Bu was surprised to walk a few steps away, then stopped again, turned his back to her and said, "In the future, I will often enter the palace, but it is not easy to meet and talk." Yang Qing, the chamberlain next to the prince, is a trustworthy person, if there is anything, you can ask him to bring me news, don't be reckless! ”
"I ......" Han Xi saw that he was so bad to him, Tang Buxi still cared about her very much, and thought about her in everything, feeling guilty. I wanted to say something to alleviate my recklessness just now, but I didn't know where to start. After half a ring, she had to say to him, "I'm sorry......"
At this time, it is dusk, the sun is sinking in the west, and the light is dim and soft, sprinkling a large afterglow. Tang Bu's long figure stood in the light and shadow over there, gradually blurring, making it difficult to see. He seemed to turn his head slightly, and his face was reflected in a golden color, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
I only heard him whisper: "Between you and me, why should you be so polite? Yu'er, or Hanxi, no matter who you are, I will always say the same thing, only if you need it, I will always be by your side. (To be continued......)
