Chapter 14 Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tiger Fight
When he returned to the Lanyue Palace, Tao Yao retired from all the palace people, and sat down on the soft couch in the inner room with a tired face, only then did he let out a long breath, and his face that had always been smiling freely was completely relaxed.
Although the relationship between her and Princess Taiping is not as good as that of others, and the communication will be smoother, after all, she is doing things with her own thoughts, and she can't help but be a little more cautious between her actions, and it is normal to be exhausted. I only hope that if she does more such things in the future, she can get used to it better, otherwise she is afraid that she will decline before she gets old.
Hongfu had already thoughtfully brought tea and pastries, and she remembered that her master did not use much for lunch at the princess's mansion, and she should be hungry at this point. Moreover, in her early years, because of the incident of bergamot, Tao Yao still suffered sequelae, and her physique was much worse than that of ordinary people, not to mention, even her spleen and stomach were very weak. If she hadn't paid any more attention, I'm afraid the situation would have been even worse.
"Don't worry, my body is not bad yet, and eating less of a meal will not be in the way." Facing Hongfu's worried eyes, Tao Yao smiled and reached out to pick up a piece of hibiscus cake: "Moreover, Sister Hongfu's pastry making skills are so good, how can she treat my good appetite badly." Her original favorite chestnut cake was also replaced by Hongfu for the reason that it was not easy to restrain herself, if she was not obedient again, it is estimated that there will be nothing left in the future.
"Little county lord, what are you doing today is that you clearly want to help Princess Taiping?" Frowning tightly, Hongfu was obviously confused for a long time, and she couldn't bear it until now. Probably also because of the relationship between the walls and ears, her voice was extremely low, if it wasn't for the two of them being close, Tao Yao might not be able to hear it clearly.
"Well, if it weren't, I wouldn't have to go out of my way to do this." Nodding, Tao Yao replied softly. The only person she can rely on is Hongfu, so she won't hide anything from her. With the unity of master and servant, they can go more steadily and long-term in the future.
"But the slave remembers that you said that you don't like to be used and deceived." Hongfu's doubts deepened: "Her Royal Highness the princess broke your heart back then, but now you are ......"
"If I can still stay in Chang'an and be the carefree little lord of the Yongwang Mansion, just waiting to marry Ruyi Langjun, then I may continue to maintain this concept." Tao Yao slowly finished eating the hibiscus cake in her hand, and the sweet and greasy taste seemed to blur her throat, making it difficult for her to even speak: "But we are now in Shendu, and being able to be used and deceived by others means that I still have a certain value." So, no matter what, I'm going to try to catch it. Therefore, even if she doesn't like it anymore, she will not hesitate to do it.
Hongfu was slightly surprised, and immediately showed a distressed expression: "You have been wronged...... "Her little county lord is such a kind and beautiful girl, and she will have a day when she struggles for her livelihood. If the prince and the princess really loved this daughter, they should not have let her bear this at a young age.
"What kind of grievance is this." Tao Yao waved her hand disapprerovingly, and just smiled: "No one can be an innocent child for the rest of his life, I was born in the royal family, and this road is only going to be taken sooner or later." With a little more effort, I will at least have fine clothes and food, and live a good life, compared to those poor people who are poorly clothed and hungry, they are already in heaven and on earth. "She is really content, and she knows how to be grateful, and she doesn't want to complain about anything.
"Yes." Knowing that she didn't want to hear such words, Hongfu also took the opportunity to shut up, and turned to the question just now: "Then you really want to help Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Although she didn't understand it very well, she always felt that it was not so simple. No matter what, the little county lord and Princess Taiping also had a disagreement back then, even if it has been a long time, these two people can really work together without any care?
"Naturally, yes." Tao Yao said lightly: "Princess Taiping's strength in the Divine Capital should not be underestimated, even if Princess Anle and Empress Wei are very displeased with her, they never dare to make too many moves, which is enough to explain everything." She also secretly watched for a while before making up her mind: "I don't want to be a bargaining chip in the hands of His Majesty that can be thrown out at any time, so I can only continue to increase my weight, and Princess Taiping, a powerful ally, is what I must fight." In any case, I am at least sure that she will never hurt me. "Especially, when I was still useful.
"That's why you're offering advice." Tao Yao stayed in the Lanyue Hall silently for so many days, of course, it was not in vain. Gao Xianzhi has basically studied all kinds of information in the Shendu over the years, so she was able to combine the real-time dynamics in the palace and give Princess Taiping such an idea.
"Yes, this big drama will be lively once it is sung." The curvature of Tao Yao's lips deepened, and she looked unusually sweet and lovely, like a girl who was satisfied with a gorgeous dress: "Princess Taiping is a fisherman, then we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." "Not only do you want Princess Taiping to stand behind you, but you also want to take advantage of the situation to stir up this pool of water in the Shendu even more.
For some reason, she always had a hunch that Li Xian, the son of heaven, was precarious. As for who can profit from it and stand out in the end, it depends on their means and skills.
At the same time, in the queen's bedroom, Wei, who was dressed in regular clothes and had not applied fat powder, had half loose hair, and was listening to the palace people around him talk about the deeds of his little daughter, and the more he listened to her, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and in the end, a well-maintained face was almost wrinkled, and it was obvious that he was angry.
"Bastard! His Majesty asked her to meditate at home, and she dared to run out! Raising his hand, he swept off a cup on the small table beside him, Wei's face was pale, and his chest was rising and falling vigorously, which was a rare loss of the demeanor of the mother of a country: "Where are the people in the princess's mansion dead!" Why didn't anyone stop her! "If you let those nosy imperial historians know, how many incidents will be born, why can't this girl let her save some snacks!
"I heard that His Royal Highness is still angry about the Kunming Pool, and threatened to dig out a Dingkun Pool by himself, so that the people of the world can see which is better and which is inferior." He didn't dare to look at Wei's face at all, and the palace people who returned looked like they wanted to shrink their heads to their chests: "Your Highness was really angry, and he also injured the captain of the guard with a horse whip, so no one dared to stop him, so this is ......"
"Dingkun Pond?!" Webster gasped. This girl, isn't she crazy!
"Come on, change the clothes of the main palace!" Raising his voice and snorting coldly, Wei Shi Huo Ran stood up: "Set up Princess Anle's Mansion!" ”
