Chapter 20: Calm, Strange

"You! It's just impatient. ”

Concubine Yu was not annoyed, she said softly to the eighth princess, she gave the eighth princess a few pieces of pastry, raised her eyes and saw me walking here in the corridor, smiled gently, beckoned to me, and motioned me to come over.

I respectfully bowed to Concubine Yu:

"Yi'er greets the concubine."

"Yi'er, come over and help Bengong, these two girls are really difficult to manage."

Concubine Yu is always soft and glutinous, tender like water, just like the plain brocade on her body, as long as a few pink peach petals are slightly embellished, there are ten thousand styles. When she raised me in the past, she was also so soft-voiced and soft-spoken, although it was mostly for the emperor and the Duke of Qi to see, but compared to the queen, she was like a dissolved marshmallow.

I entered the pavilion, and the eighth princess threw herself into my arms as if she had found a savior, stuffed the pastry in her hand into my mouth, and then stretched out ten fingers with an innocent face and said, "Sixth Emperor Sister, look how pitiful I am!" Ten fingers are broken, how much red date soup do you have to drink to make up for it! ”

"Poof!" I finally couldn't help but laugh.

The ninth princess put down the embroidery in her hand, pulled the eighth princess out of my arms, and said, "Wipe your mouth, you see, the dresses of the six emperor sisters have been dirty by you!"

"It's out of the way."

I smiled and found myself a mat, picked up the embroidery of the eighth princess, and asked her, "Ying'er, how much do you love to eat?" What do you do with embroidered buns? ”

"Hahaha!" The ninth princess smiled and leaned back.

"This, this is not a bun! This is a mandarin duck! The eighth princess slapped the table.

"The mandarin duck eggs are pretty much the same." I deliberately tease her, I like to see her blushing face.

"If you want to say this embroidery, the craftsmanship of Chunhua in my palace is one of the best, she embroiders mandarin ducks, that is called vivid!"

I handed over the embroidery sample in my hand to Chunhua, and said to the eighth and ninth princesses, "Go and learn from her!" ”

Concubine Yu also nodded at her two daughters, and the eighth and ninth princesses immediately surrounded Chunhua and pulled her to the palace.

"Where are you going to learn from the scriptures? It's clear that I'm lazy. I said, looking at their backs.

Concubine Yu covered her mouth and laughed twice, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, spread it out in the sun, and said: "This handkerchief was embroidered by the mother of the palace for the palace before entering and leaving the palace. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, what parent doesn't feel sorry for their children? ”

"Yes." I answered.

She folded up the veil and gave it to me, saying, "Now, this palace has given it to you, Yi'er."

I took the handkerchief with both hands, but I didn't know how to ask.

"This palace raised you until you were four years old, and treated you as your own daughter. Besides, if it weren't for the poor health of the palace back then, and you were pregnant with your Nine Emperor Sisters, I wouldn't have asked the prince to take you out of the Splendid Palace. "Concubine Yu is playing the family card with me.

"Yi'er will not forget the nurturing grace of her mother." I said with a light smile.

Concubine Yu sighed and said, "If it weren't for the support of the queen's sister, where would this palace be able to sit in today's position." Alas! It's just a pity, sister ......"

Concubine Yu has always called the first queen her sister, only to see her plain white fingers bent, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she held my hand, and said: "Yi'er, you were young in the past, and there are some things that are not good for you to talk to you in this palace." Now that you're older, this palace really doesn't want you to be held hostage anymore. ”

She means Prince Yun Jihan?

"Yi'er, if my sister is still there, where will you be angry with that woman. I only hate that I can't avenge my sister. She said, rubbing my knee with her slender hand.

"Concubine Niangniang, what are you talking about? Yi'er doesn't understand. ”

Concubine Yu said: "Yi'er, the first queen has always been in good health, and this palace knows best."

Is there something strange about the death of the first queen? Why didn't Concubine Yu say that before.

"Yi'er has no impression of her biological mother, and often feels ashamed."

"Good boy, you don't need to feel guilty, it's not your fault." Concubine Yu took my hand, her eyes overflowed with tears, and she whispered, "Yi'er, you don't have to be so wronged. ”

Whose fault is that?

I don't need to ask, Concubine Yu's expression has already informed me.

I got up and saluted, and went to the two princesses' rooms, arranging my facial expressions as much as I could, trying to make myself look gentle and lovely, ignorant and ignorant. I don't think about Concubine Yu's words, I don't want to believe that Yun Jihan's protection of me is out of guilt.

After playing with the eighth princess and the ninth princess all afternoon, my legs were sore. When it was dark, I returned to Baoyue Palace, and when I entered the hall, I saw Yun Jihan sitting in the main hall with great interest...... Reading?

I walked up to him and he seemed to be watching intently and didn't look up at me. I glanced at his book twice, it was just a collection of poems, I frowned, snatched his book, sat down beside him, held the book, and muttered: "Brother Prince, I'm hungry!"

"Didn't know you came back until you were hungry? Is the dim sum of the Splendid Palace delicious? Yun Jihan wrapped his arms around my waist and scooped me into his arms, and put his other hand on my knee and rubbed it gently.

I looked at Qiu Shi, she really told Yun Jihan everything, and she didn't miss a single punctuation mark!

"I have to change the taste once in a while. But I kept my stomach, and I guess the prince's brother must be waiting for me. I laughed stupidly, and Yun Jihan's slightly gloomy face finally eased a little.

"Set the table."

"Brother Prince is tired!" I'll take another fart by the way, and Yun Jihan's face is sunny again.

At the banquet, I vigorously added vegetables to Yun Jihan and piled his bowl into a hill.

Yun Jihan only sandwiched a green vegetable, but didn't eat it, he said, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay!" I gobbled it up, looking down at him. "Good to you, no?"

"Huh?" Yun Jihan put down his chopsticks and said, "Have nothing to ask me?"

"It's okay!" I buried my head and continued to eat.

"Oh."

Yun Jihan stared down at me to eat, and after a while, he ate himself.

After Yun Jihan finished eating, he put down his chopsticks, and I grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother Prince, my leg hurts!"

"Rub the medicine."

"Third brother......" I called again.

"Huh?" Yun Jihan sat down again this time, he was holding one arm and staring at me.

"I ...... I'll keep you ......"

"What?"

He didn't understand?

I put down my chopsticks, hit my guts, and said, "Can you stay with me tonight?"

I'm scolding myself in my heart, let you set up a big white lotus for yourself, this time I want to change, I violate harmony everywhere, and every day is not smooth!

Yun Jihan didn't move, but asked extremely coldly, "Why?"

"My leg hurts." I bowed my head and rubbed my skirt with both hands, a little cramped.

"Hehe......"

I heard his low laughter overhead, and he sat down and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe my mouth.

"In the future, if you have the crown princess, you won't come to me." I finally got out of my mouth.
