133 Dead Land (2nd Watch)

Cui Ling was puzzled, "Prince? ”

The eldest princess of Furong and the emperor are sisters and brothers, and the crown prince is Yue'er's cousin.

Although the relationship between the eldest princess and Queen Jiang is not good, the royal heirs are thin, and this relationship is extremely close, will the prince be ...... to Yue'er

Her face flickered, and she asked in shock, "What's wrong with him, Prince?" ”

Yue'er smiled bitterly, "Aunt Fifth must not have thought of it, the wise and resolute prince, my cousin, said that he likes me!" ”

She pursed her lips slightly, and said with a firm gaze, "He asked someone to bring me a letter and asked me to wait, as if he has been dealing with Empress Jiang these days, I know that he is a person, as a prince, he may not be a little bold, but he twisted it up, but he also ......"

In the past, she only served as the crown prince's overture just as a kind of pity for her younger generations, after all, there is not much blood left in the Heavenly Family now, and a kinship like theirs is really rare.

But gradually, something went wrong.

The prince's eyes became more and more affectionate as he watched her, and he became more and more concerned about her, except for the ambiguity of words, and sometimes he would caress her hair and even reach out to touch her cheek.

This is definitely beyond an uncle's love for his niece.

Yue'er wrinkled her brows and whispered, "Later, the prince and the fourth lady of the Bai family got married, and I heard that they were harmonious, I thought that he would no longer care too much about me, but who knew that he was still like this." ”

Her bright eyes moved slightly, "Fifth aunt, Queen Jiang has long regarded me as a thorn in her side, if it weren't for her kindness, she would have tried to marry me far away, I was prepared in my heart, but I was not afraid of this." I'm just afraid of the prince ......"

between nephews and uncles. Separated by generations and ethics.

The crown prince is the prince. And he is the only heir of the emperor. Naturally, I am not afraid of provoking criticism.

But she was afraid!

Throughout the ages, when men have done something wrong, they always like to push it on women, and a word of shame can wipe out their guilt.

Yue'er didn't want to fall into such injustice, her parents were in the hall, and she had siblings.

If there is such a scandal, how will the younger siblings get married in the future? How to save the face of parents? How to face the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs?

Cui Ling's scalp tingled when she heard this. She thought that such a ridiculous thing would only appear in TV series, but who knew that Lu Dao would really happen.

She pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean, Empress Jiang has long known that the prince of the Dao Dao has that meaning to you?" ”

Yue'er nodded, "The crown prince and Princess Changling are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and he often goes to visit Changling for some reason, so others naturally can't notice anything, but his intimacy with me can't escape Queen Jiang's eyes." ”

She paused, "Empress Jiang specially called me to Kunning Hall to speak. She told me to be careful in what I say and do, and not to think about things that I shouldn't think. The implication is that the prince is like this to me, but not mine. ”

Cui Ling gently held Yue'er's hand, "Does the eldest brother and sister-in-law know about this matter?" ”

Yue'er shook her head, "Originally, I wasn't sure what the prince meant, so in this case, it's not good to tell my father, if I think about it too much, it will let them worry about it in vain, but today the prince brought me a letter." ”

She took out an apricot-colored letterhead from her bosom and handed it over, "He said that when he ascends the throne, he will make me the queen......"

As she spoke, Yue'er's tears fell again, "Where did he put the etiquette law like this, where is Zhilunchang, where is the crown princess, where is the grandmother and the Yuan family, and where is me?" ”

Cui Ling frowned deeply, looking at the girl in front of her, who was two years younger than her, and was slightly stunned.

Yuan Yue'er is thirteen years old this year, and she is actually still young, but because the Yuan family's genetics are relatively strong, the little girl is tall and tall, and her figure already has graceful curves.

Coupled with that beautiful and elegant face, she looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in her prime of life, slim and elegant.

Such a girl is inevitably moved when she sees it, let alone a man.

But the crown prince is not only Yue'er's cousin, he also married a concubine, and even in addition to the crown princess Bai Ronghua, there is also a good yuan and a good di.

Such a person promised that after he ascended the throne and became emperor, he would establish Yue'er as the queen, which is simply a big joke!

Cui Ling's eyelashes flashed slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "So, you plan to go to Master Yining to seek shelter?" ”

She paused, "But have you ever thought that the whole world is not the king's land, even if Mrs. Yining has transcended the world, but she is still worshiped by the royal family, what do you think she can do to protect you, and on what basis do you conclude that she will definitely fight against the prince for you?" ”

In fact, Cui Ling didn't believe that Master Ning really had any special understanding of Buddhism.

Judging from the records in the history books, the first emperor recalled the Yuan Dynasty, but he was very abusive. There are three thousand palace beauties, except for the biological mother of the current emperor and King Ke, who is more favored and gave birth to two sons, the fate of the other concubines is not very good.

After Concubine Lian De like this. The uncrowned king of the palace, the most reluctant, relied on the strength of the family to support the right prince, and was enshrined as the queen mother.

A woman like Mrs. Yining who has no background wants to live well in the deep palace, which is simply a luxury.

Therefore, the so-called guidance from the Buddha may not be an excuse for Yining to stay away from right and wrong to save his life.

Now it seems that Mrs. Yining has indeed sought a stable and peaceful old age for herself.

She has a place to live on the largest morning mountain in Shengjing City, she doesn't need to worry about incense to enjoy the royal offerings, and she also has her own disciples who serve closely, and if she is willing, she can come and go freely.

There is also a large group of free bodyguards to keep her safe.

Compared with those concubines of the former emperor who were trapped in Zhongwan Palace and slowly died of old age, her life was simply worlds apart.

Based on this alone, Cui Ling concluded that Yue'er wanted to ask for the protection of Master Yining, but it was just a beautiful but illusory wish, like a soap bubble, she was full of hope, but in the end it would be ruthlessly punctured.

Yue'er was told this by Cui Ling, and immediately panicked again.

She looked flustered and said, "So what should I do?" I can't go, if I really kiss the past, life will definitely not be easy. But if the crown prince persuaded Empress Jiang. I stayed in Shengjing City. So what should we do in the future? ”

This is really a dead end that cannot be advanced and cannot be retreated.

Cui Ling thought about it. If you can let Yue'er fake her death and escape, you don't have to be in such a dilemma.

But as soon as she thought about it, she immediately lingered.

Although the folk customs of the Dasheng Dynasty are no longer very conservative, they still have many strict requirements for women.

If Yue'er fakes her death, she will no longer be the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, even if she is given another identity, she will no longer have as many rights as she does now.

This was an era of clan origin, and only the nobility could get a certain degree of freedom.

Identity and status. determines what life will be like in the future.

Besides, now that there is an identity household registration system, I really want to create a person's identity out of thin air, unless it is a small household in a remote area, otherwise a person with a little status and status, how many pairs of eyes are staring, it is not easy to fake.

Cui Ling thought like this, and felt very helpless.

She had no choice but to gently pat Yue'er on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, think again. There's always another way. ”

If the crown prince wants to do anything wrong, he has to wait until he ascends the throne.

As long as the emperor does not die for a day, then Yue'er will have another day of safety.

Yue'er wiped her tears, looked up and asked, "Fifth aunt, then you say, should I tell my father and grandmother about this?" ”

She bit her lip, "I'm afraid they'll be worried, but if they don't say it, I'm afraid they'll miss something......"

Cui Ling thought for a while and said, "This matter should still be said." ”

She paused and sighed, "The elders are old, and they have gone through a lot of things, and it seems to us that things are very rare, maybe they will have a way to solve them."

Originally, you weren't sure what the prince wanted, so you didn't say it, but now he writes this letter so deeply that he always asks the elders to make a decision for you. ”

Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly, thinking of what Gorou and his brothers had been doing outside recently.

She pursed her lips lightly and said, "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles, and the elders are busy thinking of other ways, but they don't even know the way of the family, so it's not good." ”

Yue'er's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her gaze turned a thousand times, as if a terrible nightmare appeared in her mind.

Her body trembled slightly, and it took a long time before she opened her eyes, "Well, then I'll tell Daddy!" ”

Cui Ling nodded, and said a few more words, "If you are embarrassed to say it, let the fifth aunt say it, it's okay." ”

She added, "Don't be shy, tell everything as it is, so that we can give you ideas." ”

Yue'er hurriedly said, "I'll just tell my father and mother myself, I don't have to worry about Aunt Five." ”

She looked up and saw fine beads of sweat on Cui Ling's forehead, and then looked at her huge abdomen, so she got up to say goodbye with a relaxed face.

Cui Ling stopped her, "Yue'er, why did you tell me about such a confidential and important matter first?" ”

She looked at the beautiful girl opposite with wide eyes, wanting to see through her soul, "Aren't you afraid that I will reveal your secret, so that you can't make a good life in Shengjing City?" ”

Yue'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at her, "Aunt Fifth won't." ”

The corners of her lips curled slightly, "Let's not mention what your great-grandmother and father and mother said about you, just say that you are to me, although the two of us have really known each other for a few days, but I can see your sincerity towards me." ”

Cui Ling was relieved and laughed, "It's rare for you to trust me like this." ”

She waved her hand at Yue'er, "I'm heavy now, so I won't send you, this matter is important, hurry up and find your mother and say it, so I can have an idea as soon as possible." ”

Yue'er's footsteps paused slightly, she seemed to think for a moment, and then she hesitated and said, "Aunt Five, that kind of jelly, really don't call it jelly, it's best to ...... It's best to eat it at home in the future, and don't sell it outside. ”

She bit her lip, "I read the biography of the former Chaoxuan before, and it seems that she will also do this thing...... Empress Xuan, she was called a demon and was burned to death, I was a little scared, Aunt Five, promise me, okay? ”

Cui Ling's expression was shocked, and she tightly twisted her brows, wanting to find something from Yue'er's face.

After a long time, she nodded slowly, "Ha, it turned out to be just this little thing, since Yue'er said that she wouldn't sell it, then we won't sell it, who really has less of these two dollars?" ”

Yue'er was relieved at this time, and left quickly after saying goodbye.

In the courtyard, only Cui Ling's brows were deeply furrowed, and he never put it down again. (To be continued......)
