Chapter 10: The Oath

Li Ronghua had just woken up from his sleep, sitting in front of the dresser, only to feel lazy, a white hand boredly playing with the various hairpins in the dresser, and the gold, silver and jade made a clanging sound between her fingers painted with bright red kodan.

Lan Chun carefully combed Li Ronghua's hair with a comb with beads and turquoise, Li Ronghua's hair was soft and fluffy, dense as seaweed, she cherished her hair very much, and usually only let Lan Chun, who was the best at combing her hair, take care of it. Lan Chun carefully smeared a layer of peony flower oil on Li Ronghua's hair, making the hair look black and bright, and then ten fingers flew over, and soon combed an improved Lingyun bun for Li Ronghua, and then inserted a peacock hairpin in the middle, and the fine tassels hung down between the eyebrows, which added to Li Ronghua's beauty.

Since the crown prince forbade Li Ronghua to wear a step shake, Li Ronghua's several boxes of step shakes have all been put away, and Lanchun tries his best every day to use a variety of hairstyles that do not wear step shakes to make Li Ronghua look more delicate, for fear that one will accidentally make Li Ronghua unhappy.

Fortunately, Li Ronghua's mood has been surprisingly good recently, but he lost his temper at first, and then he didn't mention anything about shaking again.

Lan Chun didn't know that Li Ronghua's mood was so stable, and Xiu's mother contributed a lot, originally Li Ronghua was so angry that the prince hugged Yang Xiaohan from Deyang Palace back to Hui'an Palace, but Xiu's mother told her that Yang Xiaohan didn't like the queen and the concubine, even if she was favored again, there would be no good results. Li Ronghua immediately turned his anger into joy, and deliberately went to Hui'an Hall to see Yang Xiaohan on the grounds of concern, and saw that she was still unconscious, her face was pale, and the corners of her lips were chapped.

Li Ronghua picked out a pair of crystal clear jasper drop bead earrings, and Lan Chun was about to put them on for Li Ronghua, but Fu Xia quietly walked in and said something in Xiu's mother's ear. When Mother Xiu heard this, she stepped forward and said softly: "Master, the one in the Ganquan Palace...... I woke up last night. ”

Li Ronghua let out an "oh" and said with some regret: "I woke up so soon, my life is really big, and it burned so badly, I thought I couldn't survive it." ”

"Do you want to go over and have a look?" Xiu's mother asked.

Li Ronghua didn't want to look at the face that annoyed him, but when he saw the jasper earrings shaking in Lan Chun's hand, he suddenly had a glint in his eyes, changed his mind, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and said, "Go, why don't you go?" Lanchun, replace all the jewelry on my body with jadeite, let's go and visit Yang Liangyuan. ”

In the Ganquan Palace, Fang Ling was combing Yang Xiaohan's hair, and said distressedly while combing: "Master, you just woke up last night, let's rest again today, it's not too late for the queen to go there tomorrow." ”

Yang Xiaohan's originally pale face was covered with several layers of fat powder, and she barely looked a little energetic, she looked at herself in the mirror who was no longer so haggard, and said: "The queen's teaching a few days ago has benefited me a lot, and I have to thank you today no matter what." ”

Fang Ling had no choice but to stop talking, and was about to insert a cloud-footed pearl tendril on Yang Xiaohan's head, but Yang Xiaohan shook his head and said, "Don't wear it, don't wear it again in the future." ”

Fang Ling was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is this?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not allowed to Li Liangyuan to wear Busha, you are not allowed to wear it! ”

Yang Xiaohan looked at Fangcao, who was cleaning up the bed, and said, "Fangcao, you went to the library to find my gem-encrusted tourmaline hairpin, I haven't worn it for a long time, but it is just right to match my clothes." ”

Fangcao left in response, and only Yang Xiaohan and Fang Ling were left in the room.

Yang Xiaohan said to Fang Ling: "Li Liangyuan can't wear a step shake, I wear it to walk around in front of her, and remind her all the time that she can't wear a step shake, do you think Li Liangyuan can swallow this breath?" ”

Fang Ling was a little puzzled: "Master, although Li Liangyuan is the daughter of Taifu and has a deep background, you don't have to be careful with her in everything, so ...... So ......"

"Isn't that what stammers her?" Yang Xiaohan said for Fang Ling what she didn't dare to say.

Fang Ling lowered her head, holding only a comb and slowly combing Yang Xiaohan's hair.

Yang Xiaohan was silent for a while, and said: "A few days ago, my mother sent a letter saying that my maternal uncle in the army had made some small contributions in the frontier and had been transferred to the command of General Zhongwu and became the captain of the Eighth Rank Xuanjie. ”

When Fang Ling heard this, she was overjoyed: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the uncle!" ”

Yang Xiaohan is helpless in the palace, and the Guogong Mansion is unwilling to support her, if Yang Xiaohan's uncle can stand out as soon as possible, Yang Xiaohan can suffer less.

Yang Xiaohan smiled bitterly: "Do you know who the loyal general is?" ”

Fang Ling was puzzled.

Yang Xiaohan looked at Fang Ling deeply and said, "It's Li Liangyuan's third brother Li Rongcheng." ”

Fang Ling gasped, only to feel incredible.

"So, it's fate." Yang Xiaohan gently spit out these words, and then stopped talking.

Fangcao found the gem-encrusted tourmaline hairpin she asked for for Yang Xiaohan, and Fang Ling just put it on Yang Xiaohan's head when she heard Fang Fei come to report: "Master Qiqi, Li Liangyuan is here." ”

Yang Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly." ”

After a while, Li Ronghua walked in with a jewel, Yang Xiaohan hurriedly greeted him, but he was stunned, but he saw that Li Ronghua was wearing a delicate grass head insect beaded jade hairpin on his head, a pair of green jade drop bead earrings on his ears, a peacock green jade bead chain on his wrist, and a rich and noble double happiness jade ring on his waist...... Surrounded by pearls and greenery, it matches the green scattered flower brocade she wears today.

Yang Xiaohan felt that his eyes were stabbed, and then he hid his expression, stepped forward with a smile on his face and grabbed Li Ronghua's arm, and said, "Good sister, I was thinking about calling you to go to the queen mother to thank you, you actually came first, our sisters really have a heart!" ”

Li Ronghua was suddenly puzzled: "Thank you? Thanks for what? ”

Yang Xiaohan directly helped Li Ronghua out of the door, and said as he walked: "Naturally, I thank the queen for her teaching a few days ago, my sister hasn't gone yet, I've been sick for a few days, and I thought about it as soon as I woke up." ”

As soon as Li Ronghua heard this, he felt uncomfortable, stopped at the gate of Ganquan Palace, withdrew his arm, and said impatiently: "If you want to go yourself, I won't go." ”

Her jade body is here to respond to Yang Xiaohan, if the queen sees her dressed like this, she will definitely be scolded, she is not so stupid.

Xiu's mother coughed lightly behind Li Ronghua, and Li Ronghua hurriedly shut up.

Yang Xiaohan knew it in his heart, but he was no longer reluctant, and only said to Fang Ling behind him: "Fang Ling, you lead people to retreat, I have something to say to Sister Ronghua." ”

After Fang Ling led people to retreat, Yang Xiaohan only looked at Xiu's mother and didn't speak, Li Ronghua originally wanted to leave Xiu's mother, but looking at Yang Xiaohan's appearance, it was not good to insist on keeping her anymore, so she had to tell Xiu's mother to retreat.

After Xiu's mother reluctantly retreated, only Yang Xiaohan and Li Ronghua were left in the courtyard.

Li Ronghua said angrily: "What do you want to say, say it quickly!" ”

Yang Xiaohan pulled Li Ronghua, who had a gloomy face, to sit on the stone bench on the side, looked at Li Ronghua sincerely, and slowly opened his mouth: "Sister Ronghua, I don't know why you are so tired of me, but I really treat you as a sister, the two of us sisters entered the East Palace at the same time, and we should have relied on each other. ”

Li Ronghua sneered, obviously disapproving.

Yang Xiaohan was not annoyed, and continued: "Sister's mind Xiaohan also speculated slightly, my sister must think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally named Xiaohan as a good lady, and treated Xiaohan with affection, my sister is afraid that Xiaohan will share His Highness's favor, yes or no?" ”

Li Ronghua was poked by Yang Xiaohan in the center, and he was a little annoyed, but he said stubbornly: "Just because you can share His Highness's favor from me?" Wish for the moon! ”

Yang Xiaohan smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaohan doesn't dare to think so, but I'm afraid that my sister will think so." My sister also knows that although Xiaohan can be fed and clothed in the Guogong Mansion, there are hardships that ordinary people can hardly understand, and I never dreamed that I would become a prince one day, and now I am fortunate to be able to serve the prince in my third life, so I am only satisfied with the status quo and ask for peace, no matter whether my sister believes it or not, Xiaohan has never thought of competing for favor with her sister, not before, and will not in the future! ”

Li Ronghua stared at Yang Xiaohan's sincere face to the extreme, wondering whether her words were true, and Xiu's mother was not around, it was difficult for her to distinguish, but her heart was more inclined to believe Yang Xiaohan, because she really did not take the initiative to compete with her for favor.

Yang Xiaohan noticed the loosening of Li Ronghua's complexion, so he leaned forward and said, "Sister Ronghua, think about it, since entering the East Palace, has Xiaohan ever framed his sister or deliberately approached the prince?" Every time my sister is in trouble, does Xiaohan help? Xiaohan's sincerity to her sister, doesn't her sister still want to believe it? Please rest assured, Xiao Han is the only sister who is the first to look forward, and there is no second heart! ”

Li Ronghua thought about it, Yang Xiaohan did not harm her, but helped her again and again, but since she was a child, she was surrounded by people who flattered, let her beat and scolded, and died for her, in contrast, Yang Xiaohan's actions did not move her. But after Yang Xiaohan mentioned this, she remembered that Yang Xiaohan seemed to have done a lot of things for her.

Li Ronghua saw Yang Xiaohan's sworn appearance, and there were still doubts on his face: "Do you really think so?" ”

Yang Xiaohan knew that Li Ronghua believed him, so he nodded vigorously.

Li Ronghua rolled his eyes and said, "Then you swear!" ”

"I swear, in the future, only my sister will be the first to look forward, and there will be no two hearts!" Yang Xiaohan did not hesitate for a moment.

When Li Ronghua heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "You have already said this sentence just now, I want you to swear like last time." ”

Yang Xiaohan was stunned.

Li Ronghua stared at Yang Xiaohan's eyes and repeated her oath that day word by word: "I will never be favored by the prince, I will never have love, I will have no children, and I will die alone!" ”

Yang Xiaohan was suddenly startled, his nails pinched his palms fiercely, and sharp pain came from his hands.

Li Ronghua said coldly: "You say, I believe you when you say this." ”

Yang Xiaohan's heart contracted violently, and even her teeth were trembling, she said such a ruthless and resolute oath at that time because she had a clear feeling in her heart, but how can it be compared to the beginning today? But this situation is no longer up to her.

She felt Li Ronghua's indifferent and sharp gaze, forced herself to calm down, her mind turned quickly, she took a deep breath, and finally slowly raised her right hand and swore: "If I violate this oath, I, Yang Xiaohan, will never be favored by the prince, I will never have the grace of the prince, I will have no love and no children, and I will die alone!" ”
