Chapter 281: Greed
"Big thing, what did my sister say?" Princess Celestia was a little puzzled.
The second princess rolled her eyes a little impatiently, and said, "Is such a good opportunity only used to help the little flowers escape?" Xiaohua thinks that the little flowers can let the fox help the little flowers recapture the Chu State. Didn't the eldest brother kill people wantonly in the palace? What is there to worry about, isn't the fox a spiritual creature? This kind of thing should be something that can be done as it is said. ”
The eldest princess was silent and didn't speak, and the second princess didn't want to pay attention to her when she saw her like this again, but she didn't see that the eldest princess's eyes were much colder.
In the next few days, the emperor passed on the second princess in a row, but he no longer came to provoke the eldest princess. Xiaohua watched coldly as the eunuchs entered the palace with the second princess in their arms every day, she became thinner and thinner, her chin was sharpened more and more, and the look in her eyes gradually dimmed. The second princess stopped and fixed on looking at Xiaohua, the eunuch urged impatiently, Xiaohua turned around and walked out of the dormitory slowly.
The eldest princess sat in the room, lit a faint oil lamp on the table, and when she saw Xiaohua come in, she just smiled and continued to write. Xiaohua found a comfortable seat and lay on the ground, this time she looked carefully, she was really writing a letter. The wick crackled, and there was a knock at the door, but it was Xiaorou, the maid of the side palace, "Your Royal Highness Princess, are you there?"
Princess Celestia quickly accepted the letter, got up and opened the door. Xiao Rou stood outside the door with a smile, and just wanted to step in, but when she saw Xiaohua, she couldn't help but retreat in fright. The eldest princess smiled apologetically, "Xiaorou, why are you here?" "Xiaohua, Xiaohua ......" Xiaorou didn't dare to stay longer, and stuffed a basket of steamed buns in her hand into the eldest princess's arms, "The food in the side palace has always been harsh, Xiaohua is afraid that you and the second princess will not be full and hungry, so ......" The eldest princess took it and said with great gratitude: "Xiaorou, it always bothers you, you have spent a lot of effort to come to these things." And that lamp, thank you for bringing it for Xiaohua, if you don't read a book for a while after a long night, I really don't know how to pass the past. Xiao Rou shook her head and said, "The oil lamp is dim, don't look too late." He glanced at Xiaohua timidly, then said goodbye and ran away.
Closing the door, the eldest princess returned to the table, put down the steamed buns, lowered her head and asked Xiaohua, "Do you want to eat?" Xiaohua snorted, naturally not, she seemed to understand, and no longer looked at Xiaohua, Wuzi picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth, and said to herself: "There is no dinner, and it is good to have steamed buns to satisfy hunger." ”
Didn't the people in the side palace even give her dinner? Xiaohua looked up at her, and saw her relishing but graceful movements, and knew that she didn't need to worry about her at all.
Her sister was starving and humiliating under the emperor, but she sat here peacefully eating steamed buns. Xiaorou brought her a lamp, but she hid her letter from her. There are too many hidden things in this deep palace, but no one can see through her.
Xiaohua looked at her intently, and she turned to smile at Xiaohua. This kind of laughing Xiaohua can't be described, but it makes Xiaohua believe that no matter what kind of predicament she is in, she has a way to make her life better. The emperor hasn't seen it, the second princess hasn't seen it, and Xiaorou hasn't seen it either.
The only one who has seen her smile like this is Xiaohua.
It was twilight again, and the eunuch sent beef, and when the little flower finished eating, it was washed as usual. Xiaohua stood in the garden facing the sunset, narrowing her eyes, thinking about where to pass the time tonight. Although he lived in the palace for a while, after all, his nature was difficult to escape, and he was energetic at night, and he just slept during the day.
Just thinking about it, a few eunuchs passed under the corridor and gossiped, "It's the princess of Chu who is going to bed tonight, don't pick up the wrong person later." A person next to him said strangely: "Why does the emperor suddenly want to change people?" The eunuch leader scolded, and everyone said no more.
After a short time, the emperor returned to the palace, leaned over and touched Xiaohua's belly, and said with a smile: "Why did the fox come in? "Xiaohua turned around and went straight to the inner room, people are used to eating all kinds of seasonings, Xiaohua can't eat it.
After eating, the emperor bathed and returned to his inner room. Outside the window, the sky was not yet completely dark, and the maidservant lit a candle, and the emperor picked up a book from the folds on the table and flipped through it at will. After a while, there was the sound of footsteps outside the hall, and the eunuchs brought the eldest princess in, and the emperor put down the music fold and picked up the tea bowl, and smiled faintly at her.
The minions retreated and closed the door tightly. Xiaohua lay in front of the bed, looked sideways at the eldest princess, she also glanced at Xiaohua, and then saluted the emperor and said, "The eldest princess has seen the emperor." The emperor skimmed the tea lid and said with a smile: "This emperor's voice is really much more beautiful than the thief head called by the second princess." The eldest princess lowered her head slightly, "The younger sister is still young and doesn't know the current affairs, so I don't want the emperor to be surprised." ”
The tip of Celestia's eyebrows moved, but there was nothing else. The emperor slowly approached her, and his fingers touched her chin, "This pair of eyebrows and eyes looks close, and it is really different from the second princess, presumably your mother is just like that." When she became the queen of Chu State, she didn't know what means she used?" The eldest princess's face couldn't move, and her eyes showed a little helplessness, "If the sister heard such words, I am afraid that she would have scolded her a long time ago, and the emperor's radical method is of no use to me." The queen mother has passed away for many years, and the father doesn't care if she doesn't teach her, which is even more difficult to hear than the emperor's words, and it is common for the eldest princess to eat. The emperor smiled and said, "Interesting, you don't scold me with this mouth, but you can speak kindly." It's just that I don't know if she is in Jiuquan and sees the princess of Chu succumbing to me and talking and laughing freely, will she feel very gratified?" The eldest princess couldn't help but smile, and actually got rid of the emperor's hand, "In the eyes of the eldest princess, the sleeping is much better than torture" In the last sentence, the corners of her eyes rose slightly, and she was not good-looking, but she was dyed a little bright.
The emperor withdrew his hand, his gaze lingered on her face, nodded and smiled, "In that case, I don't need to greet you with those cruel methods. Compared with the second princess, it is rare for you to be good with me, so it is better for you to serve me well tonight, maybe you can make your brothers better in the future. The eldest princess laughed, and the emperor took her by the hand, and the two of them went to the bed together.
Xiaohua watched from the sidelines, if she didn't know the inside story, she would think that she was as close as a couple. The emperor treated him gently and coaxed the eldest princess to take the initiative to seek pleasure, just to test how long she could endure without changing her face? Only by knowing the other party's bottom line can he decide what to do in the next step. And Celestia -
Under the candlelight, she only smiled slightly, and a senselessness diffused, without reluctance.
The two pestered all night until the eunuch came to remind the emperor of the early dynasty. The emperor got up on his own, let the servants wipe their clothes, and looked at the eldest princess with a cold gaze. The eldest princess sat alone on the bed, naked and unattended to her, and in the middle of the night she picked up the robe of the previous night on the ground and gathered it on her body.
