Chapter 19: Lost, the Wind Doesn't Stop
Early the next morning, Chunhua was busy reporting to me: "Master, master, Aunt Yanruo, they are slapped fifty!"
She made a big "five" gesture with one hand, gloating, I raised my eyelids and looked at Chunhua, "oh", and continued to pet the cat.
That's all? That's really all.
Even the emperor was not alarmed, and now it seems that the power of the empress is deeply entrenched. As for me, Qi Guogong has the idea of retreating, and in the future, in this palace, I will only have more difficulties.
"Master, master!" Chunhua lay on my bedside, she said, "I heard from the people in Weiyang Palace that the queen wants to choose a concubine for the crown prince!" ”
"What?"
Chunhua's words forced out my hometown dialect!
"Choosing a concubine?" I held my forehead, "It's over, the queen mother will definitely choose from her mother's family, and the prince's brother will be promoted to a strict wife!" The relationship between sister-in-law and sister-in-law is a problem left over from history. I! There are no good days. ”
"Alas!" Chunhua sighed.
"Alas!" Qiu Shi also sighed.
"Master, you really overestimate the abilities of those women!" Chunhua said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Qiu Shi poured me a cup of tea and said, "Master, have you forgotten, when did our prince determine sex?" In the East Palace, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, red flowers and green willows, colorful clouds and white snow, what beauty is not! ”
"Yes! Beauty is like a cloud, but! I took a sip of tea and jumped off the bed, "Don't you forget, there has never been any romance in the East Palace, what does this mean?" ”
"What does it mean?" Chunhua asked.
I paced around the temple and said, "It means that the prince only keeps birds." Don't eat.
"Ahh Chunhua suddenly understood, she said, "What the princess means is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never ......."
"Hmm!" I nodded.
I analyzed the two of them with reason: "The crown princess is different, it is to inherit the royal family." You think, the prince's brother's bias towards me has already made the queen mother unhappy, if the queen mother makes her own niece and nephew the crown princess, can the prince's brother still take care of our Baoyue Palace like this? What if the crown princess has a son and a half daughter, with her own cute baby in hand, cuter than me and tenderer than me, and the prince's brother is willing to spoil me? ”
I'm getting more and more anxious, I don't want to be tortured to death by the queen and the crown princess.
"What then? I knew that you might as well marry Zhaoguo, master! Chunhua was so anxious that she slapped her thigh.
"Whew!" I pinched my waist, looked up to the sky and shook my head, "I don't know." ”
"Princess, the fourth prince is here."
There was a bulletin outside, and somehow, I suddenly remembered what Qi Guogong said to me that day: "You can't put all your eggs in the same basket."
I put away my irritability and said to Akishi, "Comb my hair."
It is better to come early than to come by chance, and under the intertwined palace relations, everything will go smoothly is just a luxury, and the situation forces me to make choices and trade-offs.
"Yi'er greets the four emperor brothers."
I entered the main hall with the support of Chunhua, and the fourth prince Yun Jifei strode forward and held me, he said: "The sixth emperor sister is not in good health, so there is no need to make this big gift."
"Thank you Brother Four for your concern." We sit at the same table, Yun Jifei does not visit often, and every time he comes, he must have a purpose.
"Yi'er would like to thank the royal brother for saving his life yesterday." I knew that he must have sent someone to retrieve Yun Jihan outside the palace yesterday.
The fourth prince smiled and took out a bottle of ointment and said, "I can't talk about the grace of saving my life, the royal sister should take care of her body." I mentioned this matter to Zhong Xuan yesterday, and he sent the wound medicine today, Yi'er might as well try it. ”
"Yang Zhongxuan? I don't dare use it. I said half-jokingly.
The fourth prince put the medicine on the table and asked, "Why does Yi'er hate Zhongxuan so much?" In the eyes of the imperial brother, although Zhong Xuan does not speak well, he really cares for you! ”
"He always bullied me." I replied with a pretense of grievance.
"The royal brother is a sworn brother with him, so he naturally speaks to him."
The fourth prince spread out the folding fan and said:
"The refreshments in your palace aren't good! In a few days, the fourth brother will bring Yi'er some new things outside the palace, and when you are well, the fourth brother will take you out of the palace to play. ”
"Okay!" I jumped for joy at the table.
The fourth prince didn't say anything more, only took a few sips of tea, and left. I took away the excitement just now, and I didn't get up on the couch for a long time, and the sense of loss in my heart almost overwhelmed me.
Qi State Mansion, why don't I want to be close to my grandfather? Why don't you want to live in peace with Yang Zhongxuan? If I get too close to the Yang family, I will provoke trouble and bring disaster to the Qi State Mansion. The granddaughter of the Duke of Qi family is a phoenix, if I am too close to the Yang family, and which cousin I secretly have feelings for, will the emperor's dragon chair sit safely? How could he allow the Yang family to hold the 800,000 army commander seal? The Duke of Qi wants to be loyal to the monarch, and I can't live up to the retreat of this veteran of the two dynasties.
"Master, but your leg hurts again?" Qiu Shi withdrew the refreshments and easily removed the bottle of medicine sent by the four princes.
I smiled wryly, they really thought I was a little girl.
That bottle of medicine will be handed over to Yun Jihan, right? Yun Jihan is most afraid that I have dealings with the Duke of Qi.
I shook my head and walked down to the atrium, where the air was humid and it might rain at night.
Yun Yi, what should I do? Should I fight for you? Phoenix life! It's so annoying! However, if you don't fight, if you escape from this palace, you can really live?
Han Ziyuan called Zhou Qiongjiu to fight, I gave up, and there was no place to die. In this world, there is no absolute freedom.
"The wind is blowing." The cool breeze stirred my dress, and I breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to myself, "Let's go, let's go this way." ”
"Chunhua," I called, "I'm going to play with the Eighth Princess." ”
"Yes." Chunhua followed me, along the way I didn't want to see any scenery, from my rebirth to Yun Yi's body, I paralyzed myself with casual encounters, thinking that Yun Jihan protected me, I can live well, now it seems that the battle for succession is about to start, I, the daughter of the phoenix, is a card that the prince and the four princes want to hold in their hands, so which side do I have to choose, in order to live?
It's time for me to wake up, even if Uncle Li is not there at night, even if there is no Han Ziyuan, I want to rely on my own ability to live well.
The eighth princess has been closest to me since she was a child, so when I went to the Splendid Palace to find the eighth princess, Yun Jihan would not be suspicious.
Today, the four princes said that the refreshments in my palace are not delicious, and looking at the palace, the eighth princess loves to eat pastries, whether he intends to ask me to come to see Concubine Yu, it depends on whether I guess right or not.
"Princess Zhenyue is here, what a coincidence! Our little master is talking to you! ”
The palace man in charge of the Splendid Palace welcomed me into the palace, and Concubine Yu was teaching two children embroidery in the pavilion.
"Oops! It's so hard! I don't study anymore! ”
Before she entered the cloister, she heard the complaint of the eighth princess, who threw her embroidery onto the ball with her fleshy little hands, muttering with a look of reluctance.
