Chapter One Hundred and Three: Sisterhood for a Long Time
After talking to Chunjin, the two left the Ningshen Palace where the old emperor was raised, walked a few steps, and a man and a woman came to them, and after seeing their true faces clearly, Chen Lihua stopped.
"Xiao Ming......" Looking at the fair-skinned young man with a handsome face and gentle manners, Chen Lihua subconsciously shouted out the name that had been haunted by her dreams. Liu Muyang looked at her lawlessness since Chongming City left in surprise, and she was actually a little frightened?
"You are ......" The elegant young man smiled and said softly, which made people feel good when he heard it.
"Also, you don't know me." Chen Lihua shook her head and put away the throbbing in her heart. That year, she was thirteen, and after her father saw her menarche, the sentence "It's time to get married" made her feel numb. At that time, in the capital, there were the so-called "four talents", among which the top of the list was the second son of the Xiao family, Xiao Ming.
It is rumored that this man is both civil and martial, literate since he was three years old, and recited poetry at the age of six. In other words, this is the male god in the hearts of women in the whole capital, and Chen Lihua is no exception.
"Sister? Didn't you go to Liang Country? It is a felony to destroy the harmony and run back without permission. Now it's too late to ask my father for guilt. Chen Ying saw Xiao Ming's amazing gaze, and felt jealous in her heart, holding Xiao Ming's arm with both hands.
I saw Xiao Ming unhurriedly take out her arm from her sister's chest, and smiled softly at Chen Lihua: "Don't get me wrong, I am just friends with her." ”
Chen Lihua and the system both vomited.
Chen Ying was shocked and jealous, her father was very old, and now he was directly paralyzed on the bed, and the position of the crown prince was still unresolved. She was ordered by her mother to hook up with Xiao Ming of the Xiao family, although he is the second son, but judging by his talent and the momentum created by the Xiao family, he will inevitably be in a high position in the Xiao family in the future, if the two can successfully marry, then her younger brother, the second prince, will get a new big boost, even if the second prince fails, as long as he clears it up quickly enough, he will not be implicated in the Xiao family's family.
She worked hard to finally get the relationship between the two closer step by step, and when she saw that she was about to succeed, she suddenly killed Chen Lihua, and suddenly brought the relationship between the two back to the starting point, how could this not make her angry?
Her delicate disguise was directly torn to shreds, and she was full of firepower.
"I never thought that the little girl who cried her nose every day before was so smart, was she moisturized in the north?" In her heart, Chen Lihua is still the little girl who cowered at the beginning, and when she encounters bullying, she will only endure it, and whenever she sees her crying, Chen Ying will feel bursts of distorted pleasure.
Chen Lihua felt that she should cooperate with her to perform as hard as she could, but she couldn't hold back for a while, seeing that the dignified princess was so angry that she told meat jokes, she was really crazy, and interjected: "Have you tried?" ”
Xiao Ming, who heard it, opened the folding fan and chuckled lightly, Chen Ying didn't expect that it was just Chen Lihua who dared to fight back, and when she saw a sentence, she made Ai Lang smile, and she was even more jealous, so she stepped forward and slapped it directly, just like when she was a child.
But to her surprise, Chen Lihua did not close her eyes and endure the bullying as usual, pinched her delicate wrist casually, and in turn, let her let out a scream like killing a pig, with no demeanor at all, and no longer had the demeanor of a princess. Chen Lihua lowered her head and whispered in her ear:
"Actually, I don't really want to fight with you in public, it will make people mistakenly think that I am robbing you of a man, which is too embarrassing."
Chen Ying stared at her with hatred: "You dare to say that you haven't been moved?" ”
Chen Lihua glanced at Liu Muyang, who was holding a melon and watching a good show, and increased the strength in her hands:
"Don't look at a pig and think that everyone will be greedy, I won't rob you." Then, out of half-father affection, he added:
"Don't think about marrying into the Xiao family, you can't play with him, in the past, you will be eaten and there will be no scum left."
Chen Ying just stared at her with angry eyes: "Xiao Lang is not this kind of person!" You still say that you don't like it, so what kind of scheming are you provoking? ”
Looking at the six princesses who were still resentful, Chen Lihua seemed to see an old hen nervously guarding her food, and couldn't help laughing, this fool had been carried away by jealousy, but she could understand her. Now the turbulence is surging, if you don't protect yourself, wait until the new king succeeds to the throne, as a woman, the most likely outcome is to be used as a marriage tool to marry the major families, and then the husband will be old or young? Is it fat or thin? can only resign themselves to fate, besides, how can the eldest brother's attitude towards himself be the same as his father's? Although it will only be a marriage, the old emperor may also think a little about whether the other party's family background and age can be a good match, and the other brothers in order to consolidate the throne, even if they are gentlemen, they may directly agree to marry without blinking. If you really wait until the dust settles to think about your marriage, I'm afraid it's too late.
Xiao Ming is the life-saving straw that Chen Ying chose for himself, as long as he can fall in love with himself, when the news spreads, with the power of the Xiao family, even if there is chaos, no one dares to break into his bedroom, and his royal brother will take the throne, and he will not let himself become a victim at will in order to befriend the Xiao family.
Chen Lihua thinks that the thing about Coke is that Chen Ying is obviously faintly aware of the future crisis, but her approach is to find a man? Once like Chen Ying, I can only look forward to God sending a good son-in-law to save me. But how can asking for others compare with seeking oneself? Even if you rely on the Xiao family, won't there be an accident? A third party intervenes, or the Xiao family weighs the pros and cons and finally gives up on her, what should she do then? The more she lets herself have no way out, the lower her bottom line will be, and in the end, what will she be left with?
Others will always be rootless, and only by making one's own strength so that all parties dare not underestimate it is the only truth to achieve peace. It's a pity that Chen Ying doesn't seem to understand this truth.
Xiao Ming, who had been watching jokes, spoke. "Princess Ying, you misunderstood your sister." He first glanced at Chen Lihua with reverence before he continued:
"This sister of yours is amazing, alone, with tens of thousands of displaced people, she conquered Chongming City. After that, there was the story of your three emperor brothers who traveled thousands of miles and defeated the Jerebu. ”
"Just her? Didn't my third brother do it? Chen Ying, who was all devoted to Xiao Ming, didn't have time to understand these things, in fact, as early as five days ago, Chen Dao returned to the capital with all kinds of captured flags, and his reputation was irritating. But Chen Ying's understanding of this is only until the border army actually won this time, or a big victory, it was fought by his third brother, and other than that, it was gone.
How can you care about the third brother, and how can you care about Brother Xiao's fun?
"It's just a rhetoric outside, your third brother did relieve your sister's siege and defeated the Yele Ministry, but Chongming City was defeated by your sister. It's just that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is young and frivolous, and he has made miraculous achievements, and his return to Beijing is exaggerated. He bowed slightly to Chen Lihua to pay respect.
"His Royal Highness can create an immortal great cause with the body of a woman, Xiao admires. Xiao had actually seen the portrait of His Highness before, but he had seen it with his own eyes, but he felt that His Highness was glamorous, and the picture scroll was only dead, which was not enough to depict His Highness's elegance for half a point, so he couldn't recognize it at first, and I hope His Highness will forgive me. ”
Chen Lihua felt more and more that Xiao Ming's scheming was unfathomable, he knew about himself early in the morning, and he actually endured watching Chen Ying perform there like a shrew, and waited until he took action to restrain her before he spoke out.
People will always have a certain impression of the person who touts them, unless you say that it is too much and becomes a yin and yang weirdness. He stated truthfully like this, praised it slightly, and by the way, continued to provoke his relationship with the Third Emperor Brother and the Fifth Emperor Sister, which is indeed not easy to detect, and it is impossible to say that it makes people feel good.
It's a pity, do you think I'm still the inexperienced princess of the deep palace before? Maybe it's still possible for you to deceive the ignorant ladies with low-grade green tea, but I, Chen Lihua, don't eat this!
Seeing Chen Lihua's expression, Xiao Ming smiled apologetically and explained: "I failed to stop Princess Ancheng just now, and I also wanted to witness His Royal Highness's demeanor with my own eyes. There are many offenses, and I ask Your Highness for your understanding. ”
Chen Ying on the side was full of despair and disbelief, "Xiao Lang, didn't you call me Ying'er?" She still didn't want to believe that Xiao Ming had abandoned her like this.
Xiao Ming is serious: "Princess Xuancheng is still here, if she is called so, won't it cause misunderstanding?" I have nothing but brother and sister affection for you, and I have no other thoughts. ”
Chen Lihua almost died of laughter, the first son of the capital who she once admired was such a green tea? These routines are quite useful in Liu Muyang's world, not to mention his own era that is not very developed? The fifth sister was eaten to death, and she was not wronged. That is, you can only be suspicious after reading all kinds of classics, otherwise on the basis of a good first impression, most of you will be fooled by this hypocrite.
Chen Lihua covered her mouth and chuckled: "If Xiao Gongzi really treats my sister as a younger sister, how can he not pay attention to her feelings?" Or does Xiao Gongzi plan to wait until he coaxes her in private, and by the way, he plans to make a double harvest for sisters? ”
was directly pierced, Xiao Ming still kept smiling, bowed and apologized: "Your Highness misunderstood, the minister never had this intention." Her Royal Highness is a heroine, Xiaosheng only has a point that is ashamed of himself, where can he think so badly? ”
Chen Lihua still refused to admit it when she saw this, and was about to increase her efforts, when an exclamation came from behind:
"Little Flower Cat?"
Chen Lihua was shocked, how many guests does this palace have to receive in a day? Is there still a curfew? The system eats melons more energetically. "The little flower cat can't be calling you, is it?"
"Shut up, don't listen."
A gust of fragrant wind wafted by, and the petite girl threw herself into Chen Lihua's arms, hugged her tightly, and murmured:
"Little Flower Cat, I actually see you again, I'm not dreaming."
Between the words, there was already a little choked. Chen Lihua felt the trembling of the girl in her arms, and was at a loss for a while.
"You're back from Liang? Those barbarians didn't do anything to you. ”
"No, no, before I arrived in Liangdu, I encountered a big change, I single-handedly fought a bloody road, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, what can I do?"
"If you don't want to tell the truth, forget it, as long as you can come back safely, it's great." Obviously it was the truth, but the new girl obviously didn't believe this, she patted her chest, saw Chen Ying rubbing her neck and shaking her wrists, and immediately protected Chen Lihua behind her, showing her little tiger teeth, and said viciously:
"Bad woman, what do you want to do?"
Chen Ying looked at her already red wrist, and then at the girl with a fierce face, and almost burst into tears, can't you see who is bullying whom?
"You all give it to me...... I'm! The girl who wanted to say cruel words thought of Chen Lihua's advice to herself just now, and then looked at Xiao Ming, who had an indifferent face, and had mixed feelings in her heart for a while, and finally could only stomp her feet and leave in a huff.
"Don't worry, Sister Rusu, she didn't treat me well."
"Really? That's great. There is no doubt that there is him, Zhao Rushu heard Chen Lihua say this, and immediately put her mind at ease, patted her chest that was still undulating, and said with a smile.
Xiao Ming saw Chen Ying leaving, and Chen Lihua saw her old friend for many years, knowing that continuing to stay here would only cause unhappiness, so she politely retired, and did not forget to invite:
"Next week, Wanhualou will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, and I hope His Royal Highness will know that if you have time at that time, you might as well come and have fun."
Chen Lihua nodded and agreed. Should I copy "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" or "Water Tune Song Head"? Do you want to write a general good sentence first, and save the quatrain for later? There are so many good poems, it's really tangled.
Seeing Xiao Ming leaving, Zhao Rushu pulled Chen Lihua to the pavilion and sat down, Chen Lihua asked curiously:
"Why did you come to the palace today?"
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince stuffed me with a note and told me that you are back, so I will naturally come to look for you."
Chen Lihua smiled helplessly, this palace is already like a sieve, can anyone enter and exit at will? People's hearts are moving, and at this level, the father is really to blame. Looking at Zhao Rushu's excited face, Chen Lihua knew that she didn't realize how outrageous this kind of thing was, but she was no stranger to the rough lines of good sisters, otherwise how could she protect herself in the first place, and not hesitate to fight with other princesses? Thinking of this, I remembered another good sister at the beginning, Chen Lihua asked, "What about the weak willow?" Why didn't she come with you? ”
Hearing Chen Lihua ask about the third sister at the beginning, the smile on Zhao Rushu's face disappeared, she looked down at her feet, the two embroidered shoes rubbed uneasily, and said, "Sister Weak Liu, she ......"
When Chen Lihua saw this demeanor, her heart sank, and she asked, "What's wrong with Weak Willow?" ”
"She's married."
