Chapter 8: Scare away Concubine Yu
"Although the Tiangong Kingdom was eradicated, the Tianyu Kingdom and the Cangwu Kingdom had a dispute again, and they turned from allies to enemies for a while. But the decade-long war also caused heavy losses to the two countries, and they simply could not fight again. That's it, three years of fighting is over. In order to ensure the tranquility of their respective countries, and at the same time to recuperate, the two countries signed a peace treaty. Now the princess knows that even if no one in the world wants war, if only one person wants to, this war is inevitable. The easiest thing to control is the human heart, but the most difficult thing to guess is also the human heart. With so many people in the world, how can we make everyone good? β
Nalan Yan suddenly woke up, she listened to Yin Li's words today, heard what she had never heard before, and understood what she didn't understand, "So, even if Tianyu Country and Cangwu Country don't want to fight, but Tiangong Country is restless, and the three kingdoms will have to fight...... I hope that the peace that the treaty has been signed will last a little longer......"
Yin Li lowered his eyes, he wanted to tell Nalan Yan that when the peace was made, of course this paper agreement would take effect. But if one party wants to go back, this paper agreement is just a piece of waste paper. But when the words came to his lips, he could not say them. She's only eight years old, so she doesn't have to pay attention to these, as long as the smile is like a flower, these things are pressed in her heart, I'm afraid she won't be happy in the future...... He only hoped that she could always be happy, just like when she was at the gate of the palace today, her smile at him was enough for him to remember for a lifetime......
"Today's sunset is not as beautiful as before...... Nalan Yan said lightly.
The red and orange sunset in the sky is still slightly pink. Above the sunset, there is a deep blue sky and white cumulus clouds, and below the sunset, there are black peaks, and the original green peaks are not beautiful until the sunset is shining.
"The sunset is the same, but the princess's state of mind is no longer as carefree as before." Yin Li hadn't seen such a beautiful sky for a long time.
In this way, the two quietly watched the sunset together and ushered in the twilight together.
βOne dayβ
When Nalan Yan went to greet the queen, she passed by the imperial garden and happened to run into Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu was sitting in the pavilion at this time, and there was a piano on the stone table, and she was playing the piano. Concubine Yu was born in a famous family, and her piano skills are naturally outstanding in the palace.
It's just that...... What is she doing here at this time? If you want to play the piano, you can play it in your own palace. Looking at Concubine Yu's bright and luxurious clothes and exquisite makeup, Nalan Yan knew what she was going to do. She grew up in the emperor's place since she was a child, and she didn't know how many women she had seen in the emperor's heart palace since she was a child. They don't know what Nalan Yan thinks, it's just an idea to try to exhaust their lifelong acting skills to please the emperor.
"Childish......" Nalan Yan muttered.
Today, Yuchan was taking care of trivial matters in the palace, and only Yin Li came with her.
After Yin Li heard it, he asked, "The princess is talking about Concubine Yu?" β
"I really don't understand, isn't it good for them to play happily in their own palace? I have to come up with so many tones to provoke my father. Although Nalan Yan knew that these women were pretentious, she didn't know that they bothered to compete for favor in order to keep the emperor at night, so as to ......
Although Yin Li understood, he couldn't explain it.
Nalan Yan walked straight to the gazebo.
Concubine Yu, who was originally in great interest, saw Nalan Yan, her smile disappeared at once, and the sound of the piano stopped. After the last incident, the emperor's attitude towards her was obviously much weaker, and she looked for an opportunity to be favored again.
Concubine Yu glanced at Nalan Yan and also saw Yin Li, but they were just two children, what was she afraid of?
"Concubine Yu Niangniang is really Yaxing, Yan'er used to be ignorant and ignorant, and she also hurt Concubine Yu's mother, Yan'er apologizes to Niangniang here, Niangniang will definitely not care about me." Nalan Yan saluted slightly, with a smile on her face, looking very polite.
Concubine Yu felt strange when she looked at Nalan Yan like this, "Naturally, how noble is the background of this palace, how can she worry about a princess at a young age?" It's not worth it at all. It's just that the princess used to be stubborn, why did she suddenly change her temper today? β
Nalan Yan is still very well-behaved, "Of course, it's because your face is so swollen these days, Yan'er hasn't seen any woman like this since she was a child, so I think I must be more well-behaved in the future, otherwise if Niangniang swells like that next time, not only will I frighten my father and Yan'er, but I will also die of laughter...... No...... Scared to death harem girls! β
"You!" When Concubine Yu heard Nalan Yan mention this, she remembered the humiliation she had suffered over the years. The concubines in the harem, who didn't want to laugh at her when they saw her, but also to gossip about her behind her back? Even those who are lower than her dare to show her face to face, it's really annoying!
Concubine Yu calmed down her anger, "Princess! Last time, this palace is magnanimous and doesn't care about you, and I hope that in the future, we will also not interfere with the river water. Hongu doesn't want to talk to the princess here today, so let's go. β
Nalan Yan: "This is natural, I have the same bearing as Concubine Yu, Niangniang doesn't blame Yan'er, and Yan'er naturally won't complain about Niangniang's behavior that day." It's just that...... Niangniang is here to play the qin, could it be that she wants to relive the pain of the day when she looks at this imperial garden? β
Concubine Yu stared at Nalan Yan fiercely, her hand clutching on the strings, as if she could break the strings if she pushed harder. What does the princess mean by that? This palace plays the piano here, what is the matter with the princess? Persuade the princess not to be nosy! β
Nalan Yan smiled even more happily, "Of course it's not about Yan'er, it's just ...... Yan'er looks at the tree and there is a hornet's nest, will your piano sound disturb them? Why don't you let Yan'er put them down and ask them yourself? β
As she spoke, Nalan Yan took out a slingshot from her hand and aimed it at the hornet's nest.
Concubine Yu didn't believe it at first, where did there be so many hornet's nests in this imperial garden, but looking in the direction, there was really a bigger hornet's nest there, she was so frightened that she immediately stood up, but fortunately there was Qing'er next to her to help. As everyone knows, Nalan Yan used this slingshot to knock out the hornet's nest that day, "Presumptuous!" Nalan Yan, you are so bold! If you really dare, the emperor will not spare you this time! β
The palace people around Concubine Yu are also afraid, Concubine Yu is a concubine, naturally there is good medicine, and the good ones are also very fast. But they are different, where do they have medicine? I can only wait for the bag to slowly disappear. Many people still have old wounds on their bodies, where can they withstand another sting?
"What is Concubine Yu so afraid of? Last time, the mother's luck was good, and the hornet's nest was full of ordinary wasps, they stung you, and you won't survive. But today's hornet's nest, I don't know if it is a rare killer bee? Yan'er had heard that just one bite could be fatal, and that those killer bees wouldn't die if they stung someone. I don't know if that's the case, but ...... Niangniang has tried it, doesn't Yan'er know? Nalan Yan said, then pulled up the slingshot and made a look of being ready to go.
"Killer bees?!" When Concubine Yu's palace people heard Nalan Yan say this, where could they still take care of the master, they all ran away with a scream.
"You guys!" Although Concubine Yu was angry, she was more frightened, and she stumbled away with Qing'er's support, disregarding her image as she did that day.
Qing'er: "Niangniang, slow down......"
Nalan Yan saw that Concubine Yu had run away, so she withdrew her slingshot.
Yin Li said: "Why does the princess have to be like this? Concubine Yu didn't offend the princess. βγ
Nalan Yan's smile disappeared, and she looked at the direction in which Concubine Yu left, "She didn't offend me, but I heard that a few days ago, she burned all the blue cornflowers she bothered to find, and she was rude to Eniang." But to the outside world, he said that he was paying tribute to Eniang, and if Eniang knew that this kind of person gave her a memorial, she would definitely be angry! I'm going to give her some color to see, so she knows that no one wants to be rude to her mother! β
