Chapter 14: Shattered Jue (2)
For as long as Sheng Changning can remember, the two-finger-wide piece of white jade was tied to a thin red rope and hung around her neck.
At that time, she always liked to pull the red rope, and would ask her brother, why is this jade so small? Why is everyone else wearing jade around her waist, and she is wearing it around her neck?
The elder brother only giggled and did not answer.
Until one day when she was playing with the palace people, the jade tied around her neck accidentally flew up and smashed on Sheng Changning's crumbling baby teeth, the jade was surprisingly hard, and it was okay to take it down, but it was ...... Her teeth were choked out raw.
That was the first time she cried.
Tears flowed down with blood, and the palace people around her who were taking care of her were all prostrate and bowed their heads, and Mama Qing hurried over and picked her up and coaxed her distressedly.
When she returned to Changning Palace, she was still crying breathlessly, sprinkled her resentment on the jade body around her neck, and tore off the red rope and fell to the ground vigorously.
Sheng Changning still remembered that at that time, Mama Qing was panicked, and she couldn't care about her little temper anymore, so she called again and again to pick up the jade.
Immediately after, a crisp slap sounded and slammed into her face.
She looked up in a daze, and saw her brother's angry face close at hand, and she forgot to let her tears fall.
"How can you drop jade?!"
Sheng Changning heard him angrily reprimand, and snatched the jade from her grandmother's arms, but the jade, she could see it clearly, and it was clearly not broken at all.
She was dazed and aggrieved.
Why did everyone bully her for the sake of a dead thing?
The next moment, she turned to surprise again, because her father also gave her brother a slap, and the slap was so strong that it forced him to tilt his head all at once.
Sheng Changning was anxious to go over and plead, but Mama Qing pressed her shoulder lightly and shook her head again.
That's what she meant not to go.
But why?
The father's expression was as usual, very calm, but he just slapped his brother to kneel, and he left without even saying a word, but the brother knelt in front of her palace gate for a whole day.
It wasn't until later that she understood.
Only then did I understand why my father and brother were extremely radical on that day.
Jade is the personal belongings of the queen mother who died early, but Sheng Changning has never seen this queen mother who is as gentle as a fairy in the mouth of others.
Because the year of the queen mother's death was Sheng Changning's birthday, and it was the day when the white jade that the queen mother was born was broken.
Later, the white jade, which was divided into two, was restored by the jade cutter, and her father gave the jade to her and her brother.
Since then, the elder brother has tied the white jade that is missing half of the horn around his waist and has never left his body.
………………
It was a reward for Sheng Changqing, and the next day he decreed the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
The waiter who came was Xiao Lizi, who looked down on Sheng Changning in the North Hall that day, but at this time he was not as high as yesterday.
With a respectful and flattering face, "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, but yesterday's slave really looked away, damn it, damn it!" ”
Sheng Changning lifted his eyelids to look at him and smiled: "It's damned." ”
As her words fell, the atmosphere was a little stagnant, and Xiao Lizi wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, only to feel that the sweat was inexplicably cold.
How did he know that the fifth princess, who was still unknown in the palace yesterday, had such a grace when she saw His Majesty......
"This palace is just a joke, Gonggong Li won't take it seriously, right?" Sheng Changning laughed out loud, and then she bent her legs and knelt on the ground, "Changqing takes the order." ”
Xiao Lizi trembled and smirked, echoed and echoed, and then began to read the will with palpitations.
Sheng Changqing is the daughter of the first emperor, and her status in the palace before she got married, no matter what, it is not the turn of some small fish and shrimp to be demons in front of her.
After listening to a series of jeweled agate and silk satin, Sheng Changning bowed his head again, Yuan'er carefully knelt behind her, and followed her movements in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
"Princess Fengning, hurry up, it's really a minion!" Xiao Lizi trembled and helped the person up.
In a blink of an eye, this master has gone from a nominal princess who can be bullied at will by everyone in the palace to a master with titles and gifts, he still spoke so aggressively yesterday, how could he not be frightened?
Under Sheng Changning's smiling expression, he hurriedly took out a bag of tips from his arms, and hurriedly stuffed it into Yuan'er's hand, bowing down to Sheng Changning.
"Your Highness, you have a large number of them, but the eyes of yesterday's servants were blind......"
Yuan'er took it in a panic, looked at Sheng Changning again, and saw that the princess did not show any displeasure, so she put it away with anxiety.
Xiao Lizi left with peace of mind.
……
The palace given by Sheng Changmu is called Shufang Palace, which is not far from the north hall.
In the evening, Sheng Changning moved into the Shufang Hall with others, and the treasures he appreciated were placed in the red silk cage box, which was seven or eight lifted, and placed neatly in the palace.
Yes, the old cage box brought from Xiaoxiang Pavilion is still a little faded, and it is not enough to see.
Sheng Changning rested on the soft couch, a square inch away from the bead curtain, the curtain is made of South China Sea powder beads, each of which is the size of a fingernail, and there are gauze curtains made of shark yarn on both sides of the bead curtain.
In this way, the inside and the outside are clear, but the people outside can't see the inside clearly.
Sheng Changning has some impressions of this place.
When this palace was built, she was only six years old, when Concubine Shu was favored by her father, although there were already three princesses in the palace, but the girl born to Concubine Shu was still loved by her father, and she gave mercy to small words.
This kind of pampering made her brother worry about her for a while.
may have responded to the saying "peel off the extreme, you will recover", Pity didn't survive a year old, and a cold directly killed her.
Concubine Shu cried haggard all day long, and her father couldn't persuade her, so he had to let her calm down alone, and this Shufang Palace, which was built for pity, was so idle.
Sheng Changning had been here with Anan, at that time, Concubine Shu had already lost so much weight that she was described as withered, she sat on the ground, carefully holding the red embroidered swaddling clothes in her hands, her eyes were lost and dull.
Sheng Changning watched from a distance, and suddenly felt a little scared, but then his brother suddenly appeared and took her out.
And now, this palace has been given to her.
Sheng Changning closed his eyes, and his heart was extremely tired for no reason. Her brother betrayed, her father died, and all the people closest to her were far away from her, and she didn't know it...... Who can I trust now?
"Princess ......"
She opened her eyes suddenly, and her cold eyes looked straight in front of her, like ice. Yuan'er was taken aback by her gaze, and quickly lowered her head again, "The palace people rewarded by His Majesty are already outside the palace, and the princess wants to pass them in......"
Seeing that it was her, Sheng Changning didn't stay any longer, she lowered her eyelids again, covering the sneer in her eyes, the corners of her lips seemed to be slightly curled, and there was a carelessness in her words.
"Pass them in."
