Prequel. Chapter 9 Provoke the five princesses to be punished
On the way out of the palace, everyone saw others looking at me with strange eyes, and with such a popular figure around me, can I not attract the attention of others. Thinking of me Su Yi'er, how can he be so interested in this son of the Ouyang family, because of his appearance? But my appearance looks at the entire capital, isn't it a big handful, because of talent? That's even more not, if it comes to talent, all that others think of is Sister Wan, where can I get my turn? That's only temperament, but ask yourself, my broken skin personality, probably only the closest family around me can stand it, such as my mother, such as Sister Wan, and then Xingyi, but I never thought that someone would like me because of this.
"I heard that the flowers in the imperial garden in the palace are the earliest and most gorgeous in the entire capital, and it is a pity that I can't enjoy them well today." Suddenly, I sighed. I have indeed loved flowers since I was a child, no matter the size, no matter the variety, especially the peach blossoms, which are in full bloom and are the most beautiful time of the year.
Ouyang Junyu has been walking beside me, just came out of the imperial garden, after Concubine Li left, he was silent, and he didn't have the smile of Fang Cai, and he didn't speak all the way, hearing me say this, he suddenly returned to his former demeanor, and said to me: "If you like it, I will let people pick the best ones tomorrow and send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
I stopped, turned my head to look at him, and met his beautiful eyes, which were extremely affectionate and hot.
"Ouyang Junyu, why do you keep provoking me like this?" I got straight to the point, I just couldn't figure out what he was doing.
He had a smile on his face, and blurted out in his mouth: "Why provoke you, I didn't say it, I am serious about you, I want to marry you." ”
I don't want to talk to him too much, "Ouyang Gongzi, in terms of appearance, I am not a first-class standout, in terms of talent, I am not outstanding, and not to mention family background and temperament, it is even more incompatible with you." You are the only son of the Ouyang family, everyone in the Ouyang family has high hopes for you, as well as the emperor and the queen mother, they are all very kind of favor to you, as long as you want, what kind of woman will have it, why did you choose me? ”
I don't know what kind of mentality I used to ask him like this, as if I saw the smile on his face gradually dissipate, maybe in his eyes, I am the same as other women, today he is interested, he wants to provoke, tomorrow there is a new love, he will not bother me again.
"Not far in front of you is the gate of the palace, don't bother Ouyang Gongzi, Yuyin, let's go." I don't have time to care about his expression at the moment, I just want to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and walk forward with Yuyin.
As soon as he stepped out, a sound came out of his mouth that I was familiar with but I didn't know where I heard the name "Xiao Yan", I took Yuyin's hand, only to feel her hand shake, the whole person seemed to tremble, I can't remember where I heard it, and I don't want to ask him, so I pulled Yuyin and continued to walk forward.
I don't know how long it took before I arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I took a short nap in the carriage and had a short dream, although it was short, but it scared me into a cold sweat. I dreamed that I was standing alone on a cliff, with no one around me, and with tears on my face, and I didn't know what was muttering something, I leaned down and jumped down. When I woke up, I still had tears on my face.
Yuyin helped me get out of the carriage, I walked towards my yard in a trance, and suddenly I was hit by something, and I almost fell to the ground, Yuyin quickly helped me.
"Don't you have eyes? Bumping into someone? The man in front of him roared. I secretly said in my heart, obviously you are going to hit me.
When I looked up, there was a young woman in front of me, dressed in a purple dress, not very outstanding, but a little taller than me. I poked Yuyin and asked softly, "Who is this person?" ”
Yuyin shook her head, I just took Yuyin's hand, didn't want to pay attention to the man, and continued to walk forward.
When passing by her, I heard her snort coldly, and then said: "I thought that the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion knew how to know how to be polite, and it turned out that she was also a cheap hoof who didn't understand the rules." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and turned my head to look at her, I didn't seem to know her, and I didn't know why she was like this, and I have always been indifferent to how others treat me, if she wants to say, just let her say, anyway, I won't have any damage. was about to leave again, but she actually grabbed me and said, "I've seen a shameless one, I've never seen such a shameless one, just because you still want to seduce Ouyang Gongzi?" Like your mother, they are all sluts who like to seduce men. ”
I was completely enraged by her words, I couldn't bear it, I raised my hand, and a slap fell on her face like that, it was a person who scolded me at will, but my family, especially my mother, was a knife in my heart.
The maids beside her all screamed, she covered her face, and looked at me incredulously: "You actually dare to hit me." ”
I sneered: "Yes, I've never seen such a person who should be beaten, you mouth, people who don't know, you think it's a market shrew from somewhere." ”
"You." She was about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her, we looked together, and saw that it was my father who came over, and there was actually a person beside him, Li Xuan, why did he come to our house? was about to greet him, but saw the woman in front of him running over, threw herself into his arms, and cried: "Brother Xuan, that Su Yi'er actually dared to beat me." ”
"Brother Xuan?" I was still immersed in the joy that had risen in my heart for some reason, and I was horrified by her three words. Bai Lixuan's sister, she doesn't have a sister, is that? ...
"Qimeng, didn't I tell you, don't come along?" Bai Lixuan was scolding her, and then comforted: "You go back to the palace first, I will deal with this matter." But the man felt that it was not enough, and he did not know what vague words he had said, and glared at me, refusing to leave. Then Bai Lixuan didn't know what to say to her, and she immediately called the people next to her to walk out quickly. I kept looking at them, but I didn't catch a glimpse of the anger on my father's face beside me, and by the time I came back to my senses, I had already received a slap from him.
"Su Yi'er!"
"What are you trying to do? Is the fifth princess also something you can provoke? ”
"What do you do all day but get into trouble?"
"Are you willing to make me angry?"
I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, tears appeared on my face for some time, and I looked at the ground blankly, anyway, it is not the first time, it is a big deal to punish kneeling, or to be whipped, or let me go to the fifth princess to plead guilty, and let him be happy with the prime minister.
"Prime Minister, she should have done it on purpose, maybe it was a misunderstanding." I heard Bai Lixuan actually explain to me.
"I don't know what kind of character she is, what misunderstanding can there be, when she is in a bad mood, she likes to be angry at others."
"How could I, Su Chen, give birth to a daughter like you, who has no education at all."
"Give me to the gate of the house, kneel for an hour, the time is not up, don't get up."
I watched him leave, it was always like this, there was never a chance for me to explain, as long as I had a quarrel with someone else, it was my fault, as long as there was something that made him unhappy and made him lose face. But Su Chen, do you know that you can say anything about me, but my family, I don't allow it!
"You'er, you get up first."
I broke away from his hand, grabbed Yuyin and slowly stood up, wiped my tears, and walked out the door alone. Isn't it just a punishment for kneeling, it's not the first time, it's not the first time you've been beaten, what's there?
I looked at the sun rising in the middle of the sky, such a scorching sun, in the house, I couldn't see it. I don't know how long it took, but I gradually felt that the wind that had been soft suddenly became stronger, and there were fewer and fewer people passing by, and there was a sound of sand blowing on the ground. Xu was a little thinly dressed, and the chill on my body was getting heavier and heavier, and I stared at the scattered sand on the ground, and my mind was blank for a while.
I don't know how long it took, the weather changed, and there was thunder in my ears, which was so harsh. Just in an instant, the raindrops fell and hit my head, and my face and body were quickly soaked.
I don't know when there was an extra pair of feet on the ground, and there was no feeling of raindrops falling on my body. I raised my head slowly, there was an extra umbrella on my head, and the person standing next to me was none other than the brother of the fifth princess who had just caused me to kneel, the person I had always hated the most, Lou Yihang, the king of Ling.
"Let's go back to the house." He looked down at me.
I bowed my head, silent, and didn't look like I was getting up.
"I've already taken care of Qimeng's side, and no one will trouble you anymore." He continued.
Seeing that I didn't answer, he didn't get up, but reached out and grabbed my arm, "I'll tell you to get up and go back to the house." ”
I still haven't gotten up, my heart is already cold, and I still care about what this body does.
"Su Yi'er, I talked to you, didn't you hear?" He seemed to be a little angry.
I looked up again and looked at him. He suppressed his angry expression and said helplessly: "It's okay, you go back to the house, your body is not good." ”
Seeing that I still didn't make a sound, he grabbed my hand harder and harder, and it hurt so much that I couldn't help but shake off his hand and continue to kneel.
"Kindness should be the liver and lungs of a donkey!" He said a word and walked away quickly.
I shook my head bitterly, why did he help me, I provoked his sister, shouldn't he deal with me with the fifth princess? Why do you still say that he has already taken care of it. If it was Bai Lixuan who was here at this moment, would I be in a better mood, would I listen to him, get up and go back to the house, but he had already left the Prime Minister's Mansion just now, and I am afraid that he will not come again at this moment. Thinking like this in his heart, he couldn't help but turn his head and look back, and only the umbrella thrown by Fang Cai Lou Yihang came into view, and there was a faint loss in his heart.
I stared at the ground again, and my mind was full of thoughts.
With such a heavy rain, did he endure it like this and let me kneel outside the door alone? I'm not in good health, is he really not clear in his heart? And what about the mother, what about Sister Wan, and Xingyi? Don't they all know? My father, does he really care about me as a daughter? Growing up, at least in my memory, he never smiled at me, his gentleness, his love, would only give him to other children, to me, only dislike, always.
"Child!"
A familiar voice came from behind him. I quickly turned my head and saw him, tears immediately welled up in my eyes. He slowly squatted down behind him with an umbrella and gently stroked the wet hair on my face, and said extremely gently: "Don't toss yourself, your father doesn't really want to punish you, go back to the house." ”
I nodded indifferently and slowly got up with his support, because my legs were numb after kneeling for too long. He helped me step by step inside. Finally, I saw Yuyin standing at the door outside my yard, and Yuyin hurriedly came over to support me.
"Go to the house first, your whole body is wet, let the next person get some hot water and take a hot bath, then change into clean clothes, and remember to boil some ginger soup to drink."
Before leaving, he instructed Yuyin over and over again before leaving.
Even I was in a trance, when Lou Yihang called me, I didn't want to pay attention to him at all, and waited for maybe Bai Lixuan would come, when he really came, I couldn't stop being excited.
