Chapter 328: Unwilling
"Princess?"
Gui Yuan called two or three times before Liu Yan turned his head to look at her.
Gui Yuan didn't dare to say anything about his own princess: "Just now during the banquet, the princess changed her clothes for so long? ”
"Well," Liu Yan responded, then turned his head to look at the market outside, and suddenly said, "Don't go back to the palace, go shopping again." ”
It's not too late, and it's rare that the weather is cool today, and the drizzle doesn't stop you from traveling.
Gui Yuan guessed correctly, Liu Yan did hear what the eldest sister and the second sister said.
Some curiosity, more because of concern.
But......
What is the saying? Knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing.
Liu Yan felt that she was not so happy now.
Suddenly found that the person she had always felt very familiar with suddenly became strange, so strange that she wondered if she really knew this person, and whether the relationship in the past few years was all fake?
In fact, she didn't mean to eavesdrop, she did go to change her clothes at that time, because she slipped on the steps and her feet were covered with mud, Lianzi quickly squatted down to wipe it for her, and after a while, she heard the eldest sister and the second sister talking.
After all, it's just a wall, and the big sister's voice is slightly higher, and she can hear a rough conversation.
At that time, she heard her eldest sister say, "Aren't you just unwilling? ”
Not reconciled?
Liu Yan didn't expect the big sister to say this.
Before today, Liu Yan had always thought that the second sister was more of a last resort.
She was in an awkward situation, and she didn't want others to pay too much attention to her, nor could she say one more word or do one more thing, for fear of causing misunderstanding and trouble. She has a supple temperament, is taciturn, lives in a simple house, and even arranges a room for the colt to let a child without her own blood be born, all because of three words of necessity.
She has been living a difficult life, carefully maintaining a calm.
But right now, there was anger in the big sister's voice, and it sounded more of a reprimand.
Lianzi also heard it, she looked up, Liu Yan waved her hand to signal her to retreat, and walked to the window by herself, which made her hear more clearly.
"Aren't you just unwilling to live this kind of life at the mercy of others? Not only are you unwilling, but are you still holding a grudge? After all, this country and the world used to belong to your Zhao family, but now you can only rely on people and be such a humiliated princess, can you really be grateful to the emperor for this arrangement? ”
Zhao Yuxi did not refute.
Liu Yan stood outside the window in a daze.
Second sister, is this a tacit acquiescence?
Princess Fuyu continued: "Yes, you are not to blame, this is also human nature. Put yourself in your shoes, if I were to be you, I might not be reconciled. Every time I take a bite of food, I think that it is a charity from others. Every time I wear a piece of clothing, I think that no matter how gorgeous the dress is, it can't hide the embarrassment of the current situation. Every time someone calls the princess, it is like a sarcasm, like a slap in the face. Being judged in front of everyone's eyes is like being stripped of your clothes and humiliated in public, which is really uncomfortable. ”
Is that so?
It turns out that the second sister has been so uncomfortable all the time?
Also, she is such a thoughtful person with so many thoughts, even if others have no malicious intentions, she may have to figure out the meaning several times.
And in that kind of place in the palace, the most important thing is the malice of others.
"You are in a very difficult situation, and I also know that not long after the emperor ascended the throne, Niangniang once called me over alone and told me a lot of words. said that your country was ruined and you suffered a lot, and the head of the palace was too talkative and miscellaneous, afraid that you would be wronged, she was worried that she would not take care of you well, so I asked me to take care of you more, and I should have done it at that time. A few years later, we lived together in Dongyuan, and I asked myself if I had fulfilled my promise to my mother. If there is anything that I was inconsiderate and insincere about, you can say it now, and as long as you can say it, I will admit it. ”
Liu Yan heard Zhao Yuxi whisper, "No." The eldest sister has always treated me very well and has not lost half a point. Not only you, but even the queen mother, the third and fourth sisters, and even the Shang Gong and the slaves who served around me, there is nothing wrong with them. ”
"Did this family business of yours insult you and make it difficult for you to sleep?"
Zhao Yuxi said again: "At that time, I was choosing a horse, and the queen asked me to meet people one by one, and Lu Weining was chosen by myself." ”
Oh, yes.
The eldest sister is right, but the second sister is still uncomfortable......
"No one is sorry for you, but you don't want to live your current life, you don't want to be a princess, you don't want to get married, you don't want to have children with Lu Juma, and you don't want to show up and let people see you, a princess surnamed Zhao, right?"
Zhao Yuxi was silent again.
Talking to her is really suffocating.
Not to mention Princess Fuyu, even Liu Yan felt that her chest was suffocating, and she couldn't get up or down because she had a bad breath.
"What the hell do you want?"
"What do I think? What can I think? Zhao Yuxi finally spoke up: "No one asked me if I wanted to be this princess, and no one asked me if I wanted to get married." Yes, you are right, the emperor and queen treat me well, I should be supplied, and the people around me are very dedicated, if I say that I don't want to, it is because I am ungrateful and ignorant. The emperor and queen are such a generous person, and treat me like a remnant of the Zhao family so kindly, what can I do? ”
"Then why don't you say it? If you told Niangniang that you didn't want to be this princess, the emperor and Niangniang would not force you, and they would never embarrass you and hurt your life. ”
"Yes, I know that I will not be forced, and the cow cannot force its head without drinking water. But if I don't be this princess, where can I go? I don't have parents and relatives, my surname is Zhao, there is no place for me in this big world, I understood when I was abandoned by my nurse, I have no place to go, and I want to live. ”
"Really?" Princess Fuyu's voice was very cold, Liu Yan had never heard the eldest sister speak in such a voice: "So you also understand very well, you survived, you have lived until now, become a princess, brocade clothes and jade food, call slaves and maids, have to match horses, these rich, these good days, you have been used, there are no free benefits in this world, you have all the benefits, but you feel that you have suffered a great grievance to live such a life, don't you think you are ridiculous?" ”
Zhao Yuxi was silent again.
"If you don't say it, I also know, you feel that you have a noble bloodline and are from the royal family of the clan, if it weren't for a gang of chaotic ministers and thieves who harmed the world, you could have lived a prosperous and rich life, these were originally yours, but now you have to go against your will, sell your self-esteem and shamelessly in order to save your life and peace, so you are unwilling, and the better your life is, the more unwilling you are."
