Chapter 30: His Story
Li Yi had an urge to install people next to the old lady.
This feeling of "being excluded when it's clearly about you" is too bad.
If he has eyeliner on the old lady's side, then he will know what they are discussing at the moment.
For a moment, she thought of Lin Tiankuo - he had planted someone in the house, did the old lady also have it? If so, wouldn't it be quick to ask him directly? Maybe Xiaocui knows, ask Xiaocui directly?
Soon, she rejected the idea that she couldn't ask him for anything.
If everything has to be done by the same thing, it is easy for that person to get the handle.
Li Yi was right, but she forgot: her biggest secret had already been shared with Lin Tiankuo. At this time, it is a little unnecessary to worry that he is unreliable.
Li Yi also felt that she was redundant at the moment - the maids were busy helping her pack up the things she took to the old lady, and she couldn't help with anything. Standing prevents them from walking, and sitting prevents them from picking up things.
Maybe we should find something else to do? Save yourself from being an eyesore here.
She thought of Chen Xiaoyun's study, and it might be a good choice to stay there.
So she went to the study and took Xiaohong with her—no matter where she was or what she did, she was not allowed to stay alone.
Even though the four maids were so busy at the moment that their feet didn't touch the ground, they still divided one person out to accompany her.
Li Yi couldn't help but think, no matter where there are people around, is there more concern, or more surveillance? Haven't these famous ladies thought about this question?
Maybe they have lived like this since they were born and are used to this way of life? How long will it take for me to adapt?
Sitting at the table in the study, Li Yi stared at the paper and pen on the table in a daze.
It is said that it is a study, and there are only a few books on the table. Li Yi flipped through it, and it was all about the etiquette that women should abide by. It seems that although there are no books such as female rings and female rules in this world, there is only a lack of people who sort them out.
Once again, she wondered if she would be able to fit in. If you complete the tasks of the system, you can go to a world similar to modern society, right?
In a moment of thought, she sat down and took a nap.
Xiaohong was puzzled that Chen Xiaoyun was so sleepy. But he dutifully held her up when her head was about to touch the table.
At this time, I can't sleep when I go back to the room, I am cleaning up my things, and no matter how light my movements are, it will inevitably disturb her. Besides, wake her up and go back to the room, maybe the sleepiness is still there. She stuffed a cushion under Chen Xiaoyun's head, then gently exited the door and stood by the door.
Li Yi almost didn't sleep last night, and at this moment she had the opportunity to sleep, and she immediately slept in the dark.
Neither of them knew that when Li Yi was asleep, someone entered the study through the back window.
Lin Zehai is leaving the Chen Mansion today. Of course, it wasn't going to the palace - he knew it would be difficult for him to get into the palace. Even the chances of seeing the emperor alive are slim.
Two years ago, someone found him wandering, saying that he was the illegitimate son of the emperor. If he wants, he can be arranged to enter the palace as a prince.
He refused at first, but years of wandering made him less trusting people. He didn't believe in the benefits of the world that could be obtained without paying. If you want to have something, you have to trade it for something else.
The man did not force him, but stayed by his side and took care of him. Say to him about the emperor, about the prince, about a girl named Chen Xiaoyun.
He said that when the emperor was young, he was eloquent and dashing, but when he was old, he became mediocre and greedy, greedy for life and afraid of death.
He said that the crown prince had no opinions, and that no matter what the emperor wanted to do, the prince would echo it.
Lin Zehai had no interest in any of this, he was just a wanderer, and no matter what the emperor and the crown prince did, they would not affect him. He doesn't know anything about governing the country. Since he was born, every day he has been thinking about how to fill his stomach and live.
The man told him about the daughter of the Jing Zhao Yin family, saying that she was gentle and lovely, and that she was slim.
Lin Zehai didn't take it to heart. What does a boudoir daughter have to do with herself? However, if he shows no care, will this person leave? Do you want to live a life with a meal or a meal?
It's better to show a little interest, drag this person, and take advantage of him not leaving. So he asked, how old is this Miss Chen?
The man immediately took the bait, thinking that he was interested in Miss Chen. told him that if he was willing to return to Beijing to be a prince, he would marry this Miss Chen to him.
"I'm a homeless child, how can I be worthy of that Miss Chen?"
"Once you enter the palace, your identity will be the prince, and being your side concubine as her is a promotion."
Lin Zehai originally asked a joke, but the man answered very seriously.
He couldn't help but start asking himself, the same is "me", why am I not worthy of her now, once "I" have a father who is the emperor, it will become that she is not worthy of me?
It's all ridiculous.
He has been bullied since he was a child, and he does not resent anyone. He was not sad when he was insulted.
He rarely has such negative emotions, and likewise he has no happy emotions. If you have something to eat, you will eat, and if you don't have food, you will continue to look for it hungry. If you can't find anything to eat, you'll starve to death.
There is nothing in this world worthy of his nostalgia, and death may also be a relief.
Suddenly, he was told that he could change all that, that he could have a father, an older brother, and a wife.
The man, sensing his vacillation, took him into a house and gave him the name: "Lin Zehai".
Arrange for people to serve him, teach him to read, teach him to read, and teach him all kinds of manners. He gradually adapted to this life.
After starting to read, Lin Zehai understood a lot. The more I know, the more I feel shallow. He was desperately trying to learn everything.
Seeing that he was working so hard, the man gradually came less, and every time he came, he still told him about what happened in the capital. Lin Zehai was annoyed that he was disturbing his study, but he still couldn't help but be curious about that Miss Chen.
Does she know that as long as she nods, she is her own woman? Although she lives a life without worrying about food and clothing, she is arranged by others for a lifetime, which is too pitiful.
The man asked him again a year ago if he would like to enter the palace as a prince.
At this moment, Lin Zehai is no longer the same as he was a year ago, and he began to think about the pros and cons of entering Beijing.
Once he enters the palace, he is bound to become the prince's opponent. As long as the prince has some scheming, it will definitely not be so easy for him to return to Beijing. Most likely, he will die.
If he chooses not to enter Beijing, he will not be able to continue to live the life of "living on the streets and eating anything for his stomach". The self-esteem in him began to awaken. His dignity did not allow him to continue to live like that.
He agreed to the man, because he wanted to know if there would be something he cared about when he had an emperor's father, and if he would be able to find the meaning of his existence.
The man received an affirmative answer from him and disappeared. It wasn't until he appeared two months ago that he was ready to enter Beijing.
With anxiety and anticipation, he embarked on the road to Beijing. The road was as rough as he expected. They encountered all kinds of assassinations, and they dodged again and again.
Approaching the capital, the man parted ways with him in order to divert the enemy, and when he left, he informed him to enter the Chen Mansion to take refuge in case he was defeated.
